Do you marvel, as I do, at this malignant hive organism — arguably worse than the Covid-19 chimera virus — that calls itself “Joe Biden”? The personage of that name is a mere effigy, of course, like one of those grotesque mummies hoisted above the mob in a religious procession from some primitive cannibal kingdom. It’s the mob itself that actually matters, though, the twerking parade of Woke-Progressive Democrats, because it is bent absolutely on rooting out, punishing, and torturing its perceived enemies, which in this case are about half the people in the country. That’s really all it seeks to do. It has never been about anything else, because, get this: the Woke mob is insane.
But now this other half of the country has raised a war cry, “Let’s go Brandon,” in objection. In case anyone does not know what the phrase means, peruse the actual lyrics from one of four rap chants topping the Apple music charts right now: this ditty by entertainer Loza Alexander:
Let’s go, Brandon (fuck Joe Biden)
(Let’s go, Brandon, fuck Joe Biden) you know what they sayin’, hoe
Let’s go, Brandon (fuck Joe Biden)
(Let’s go, Brandon, fuck Joe Biden) you know what they sayin’, hoe
Is that too subtle for anyone? Do you catch the drift? (Know what they sayin’?) The sentiment is timelier and apparently more popular than “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was in 1963. America has had enough of the Woke religious cult and its cavalcade of depravities. America is about to bum-rush the darn thing, seize the ghastly mummy from its skull-bedecked palanquin, and knock the living sawdust out of it.
Doings in the Loudoun County, VA, school board lately became the rectified essence of the wild, irresponsible, Woke derangement overtaking the land. The board authorized a sex education booklet that instructed teenage boys how to perform oral sex on each other — with explicit illustrations of one boy on his knees servicing another boy standing — while the board backed the sowing of maximum gender confusion among high schoolers who, under the best conditions, have a tough time adjusting to the hormonal storms of adolescence… all in the name of promoting a Woke brownie-point-collecting exercise called “Pride Week.”
And guess what? The parents of Loudoun County began to object to this… meshugas. And then the school board proceeded to squash and evade their objections, and even enlisted that degenerate troll Attorney General Merrick Garland to intimidate objecting parents with the FBI and federal writs against “domestic terrorism.” For his trouble, Mr. Garland was unmasked as a prevaricating tool in a US Senate hearing this week, nicely captured by the TV cameras so the citizenry could see him in weaselly operation.
It also came out that twice this fall a teenage boy wearing a skirt — ostensibly gender-confused in exactly the way promoted by the school board — committed two rapes of teenage girls in the girls’ bathrooms of two Loudoun County schools, to which he was granted access as someone pretending to bethink himself a girl — though it turned out he knew quite well how to deploy his male generative organ. The crimes were reported to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and shared with the County School Superintendent, who covered it up… not a smooth move, as things turned out, because now the country can see exactly how criminally dishonest the Wokesters are.
And as all this rolled out, Woke-Progressive Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, made the supernaturally doltish utterance that “parents shouldn’t tell schools what to teach.” His campaign even put out roadside signs under his name repeating the statement-of-principle, in case anyone missed it. The result: McAuliffe dropped about eight points almost overnight in the polls. The voters are about to pop him out of the political universe like a watermelon seed between their fingers.
Meanwhile, the mummy known as “Joe Biden” has ventured abroad, first to Rome to be feted, his handlers thought, by the Pope. But his excellency Pope Francis ordered the TV cameras turned off, apparently unwilling to be seen consorting with the inanimate, disintegrating graven image of a US president — anymore than he would want to be caught conversing with a statue of the Medici Pope Leo X in his Vatican garden.
Also meanwhile, the stage managers back at the White House, Chief of Staff Ron Klain and Susan Rice, shadowy Director of the Domestic Policy Council, floated an initiative to give half-a-million dollars to each family member of children and parents who had gotten separated while attempting to enter the US illegally. That ought to warm the hearts of US citizens thrown out of their jobs and their livelihoods for demurring to take a vaccine that doesn’t work and which causes havoc in the organs, blood vessels, and immune systems of many who have taken it — against a disease the engineering of which was paid for by their own tax dollars.
Now, cue the Mother of all Migrant Caravans marching north to the wide-open US / Mexican border — because “Joe Biden” wants it that way — just what millions of broke, thrown-out-of-work, soon to freeze and starve US citizens will be treated to watch on their flat-screens before the cable service is switched off for non-payment. “Joe Biden” just wants to rub their faces in it, or rather the folks behind him pulling his strings want to do that. Maybe the time has come to cut “Joe Biden’s” strings. And just maybe it’s time to put an end to the Woke march through our history.

“T Mac” running for governor of VA. Does anyone, truely, believe he actually wants to be governor, again?? Or is this, allegedly, his ‘pre-ticket’ to the White House if he wins? He wasn’t that good the first time, but he, certainly, can tell a “Tall Tale”…
That’s what we see nowadays. Someone who wants to hold the position, but not perform the actual job that comes with the position.
No doubt he looks forward to his own Martha’s Vineyard manse . . .
You mean like Pete Buttgieg, who took 2 months maternity leave in one of the most critical times in the DOTs history?
Now he’s off to Glasgow, with a portfolio to take down the oil companies, and help dismantle the national grid. The dude is worthless, but media isn’t asking any hard questions like ” why the f#kk aren’t you doing your job?” I wonder why that is.
Now Pete is saying the supply chain crisis will not end until everyone is jabbed and the pandemic is over!
Will someone PLEASE step up and tell the truth (like a bunch of top doctors and scientists at the National Press Club in D.C.)??
The American public’s heads must be spinning with so much bullshit being pumped out at them!
Politicians are parasites who suck off of the system.
THAT is their job!
The problem lies with the suckers who vote those parasites in.
I realize I am dating myself by quoting one of (okay, in my opinion THE) greatest voice(s) in rock and roll history – John Kay: “YOUR VOTE IS A MEANINGLESS JOKE”
The song Monster was written 50 odd years ago but has never been more relevant. Use your search engine to find Monster by Steppenwolf. Listen carefully and keep in mind it was written by a man who, as a boy, escaped communism quite literally thru a hole in the fence. We are there.
If there is anything to be learned by the last pantomime, excuse me, “election” it’s that we cannot vote our way out of this. We go thru the motions but our voices are not heard.
What was that JHK said 2 posts ago? Something about decorating lamp posts. Yeah, overdue. Way overdue.
And though the past has it’s share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it’s protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey
——- John K
Yeah, that about sums it up. Acknowledging your sins, moving beyond them by learning. That is the spirt of my American experience. Asleep while corruption took root. And now, the corruption is so pervasive we cannot vote it away. There’s nobody to vote for!
This was a pearl of history and rock -n- roll. Thank you.
I’m just finishing a book, “The Rape of the Mind, The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing,” by Joost Meerloo. It is 65 years old, and also extremely relevant today. Those that bring this insanity to our lives have learned much in those 65 years. Next up; Kaczynski. I’ve read a few comments here and there that say’s he nailed it in is manifesto. I am of the strong opinion that if technology can be used to control people, it will be used to control people.
The issue with the lamp post party is related to nails that pop up. They generally get hammered. The flow of all electronic information, even these words I key now, are monitored by machines that parse every nuance, and assess risk. They know, we know, they don’t care about that. They care about adhesion and cohesion among the masses, and do their best to prevent that.
Alfred, kazinski nailed it in The mail too.
Gr8 post
Those pensions they get plus all the benefits must be mouth watering!!!
Imagine! Blue Cross-Blue Shield top of the line with the best doctors (who prescribe Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and no co-pays or deductibles.
Sweet gig if you can get it!
TMac ain’t worried.
Dominion got this, yo!
” the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” is still in play, apparently along with generous amounts of Bloomberg cash to keep NOVA squarely in the D column.
If McCaullife wins Tuesday no one will believe it.
Especially since education is polling #1 and today he told Chuckie Todd that no parents should have a say in what the curriculum is.
“That should be left to the EXPERTS!”
Right. Like Tony Fauci demanding five year olds be jabbed with a gene therapy that could kill or injure them with zero liability to the pharm Corp that made it or to those who “mandated” it or to doctors or nurses who participated in injecting it with the threat of not being able to attend public or private schools?
“Experts” like these?!
Good morning.
“Woke is a four letter word. Just saying…”
https://twitter.com/seanonolennon/status/1450442938555813897?s=20
Maybe people are sick of it.
Beryl
“Woke is a four letter word” So is Fuck, the act usually preceding conception.
Studies show that male fertility has fallen 300% from it’s level in the 70’s. With the Woke mission to castrate the remaining males and turn them into fake women that tendency has radically accelerated in the past few years. Add the female miscarriages induced as part of the Bill Gates population reduction Pogrom (AKA known as Pfizer/Moderna “vaccines”), and you can see where Woke is going from the standpoint of population demographics.
Enough of this insanity!
In the triangle of states defined by Florida, Texas, and Montana there are at least the glimmerings of resistance. Most of its citizens (AKA Deplorables) just want what humans have always wanted— be part part of a community, form a family unit with a partner who will help them raise children, and teach their children to grow up to believe in similar values as their community. None of these basic needs are possible in Wokeland. So it is time to cut the cancer loose and form a new Nation of Heartland where men can behave as men, women as women, and sheep produce wool instead of being passive servants of the State. . .
Thinking back to Super Tuesday, Obama and Rice chose the old white guy to be the face of the party because everyone knows that Grandpa Grifter worked the system and wouldn’t dare tear it down. Seems obvious now in hindsight. That said, Fuck Merrick Garland, too. Most of all, though, fuck BHO and the pronoun crowd.
Plus the old white guy gets the blame if people do wake up and decide enough is enough.
Yup.
China Joe is literally the perfect flak catcher.
Time for “Wanted Dead or Alive” posters to go up for all those ideologues overseeing the destruction of the US and the murder of American children with their mandated bioweapons.
If anyone is going to be giving demonstrations on how to perform oral sex on schoolboys, I would think that Jerky Joe Biden should be the teacher on his knees. Oh wait, he might like that, but then so would the rest of the sellouts in DC these days.
All kidding aside, as our once mighty society crumbles into degeneracy as we sit here and accept it because “there’s nothing we can do”, I hope that we can all accept the consequences when the degradation turns violent at either the hand of the corrupt government or maybe even the new owners of this nation, our Chinese “friends” once they take over officially. I am not exactly sure why they would want to take over this clusterfuck of a country, (sorry Jim), but then the food and resources are certainly some hard assets that the CCP would value highly, even if we don’t.
In the end I am not so sure that I have a lot of problems accepting the CCP as our new government because THEY will solve these bullshit problem and they will do it quickly. Maybe, just maybe there will be some solace found in “I told you so”.
Right?
If anything close to a CW2 scenario materializes I fully expect Team Woke to invite the PLA/PLAN/PLAAF to, “help,” so fast our heads will be spinning at light speed.
” CW2 scenario materializes I fully expect Team Woke to invite the PLA/PLAN/PLAAF ”
Translation, please.
And, just so our host knows we are reading, my favorite line of today’s contribution:
“The voters are about to pop him out of the political universe like a watermelon seed between their fingers.”
Ha ha ha! Let’s hope so.
Ditto. Translation please?
Not to put words in thirdcoastlegends mouth, but I read that as the Chinese Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Duck & Cover is correct.
Those are the Chinese:
People’s Liberation Army, Navy, and Air Force.
I’m wondering if it’s because we did do something, start to push back on the degeneracy in our schools, that they came up with the most outrageous gambit so far- claiming to be “in talks” to hand over serious loot to foreigners as a reward for the inconveniences they faced when they broke our laws, but only during the Trump administration.
I’m not saying they wouldn’t love to be able to actual do this, but I doubt they believe it’ll fly and meanwhile it takes the heat off of Garland and the FBI.
No sooner did the conservative internet start talking about fighting at the local level, our DOJ decided parents were terrorists.
They seem to understand they went too far. Notice Obama poked his head out to claim the outrage was fake? He had to defend his legacy of boys in girls’ bathrooms.
They certainly don’t like pushback and I’ll bet they can’t really handle much of it. The question is whether or not they will actually take the first step in violence by deploying firearm confiscation, of re-education camps for those not so easily coerced into taking suicide by injection. I don’t believe that there are many of the oppressed that will resort to violence under the present forms of assault upon US(A), so it leaves me thinking that they first strike will have to be by the demented piece of human garbage, Jerky Joe. After all, he IS fucked up enough to do it, IMHO.
“whether or not they will actually take the first step in violence by deploying firearm confiscation, of re-education camps…”
These are fantasies that the Woke political class hope scare you. Simplistic scenarios with no basis in reality. Who does the violence? Who is the army? How are they vetted? Who feeds them? Who directs them? Where are the camps? How many do they care for? Who does the reeducation? How are they paid? And on and on.
Don’t grant these psychotic politicians super human abilities to control chaos. They can unleash it but not control it. Look around.
Also do you really believe Joe animates original ideas and has power of decision?
Please.
They clearly appear to be pushing for the other sides to make the first bad move, no doubt. It seems to me that their biggest weapon is their attempts to drive us crazy with their fingernails down the chalkboard bitching and whining that, at least IMHO appears to be aimed at driving us all to the point where we throw up our hands and say, “STFU, we will do whatever you say, just SHUT UP!
I think a lot of people are there already and I assure you that they are going to have to drag me out and beat me to death with clubs but I will NOT kiss their hairy asses. Screw ’em, whine all you want. You want to start something, then do it!
Outstanding points, D from OR!
As a real world example, I would point to Xiden’s door-to-door jab squads.
Look at how quickly those vanished like a fart in the wind.
I guess I am the only person who noticed that the Loudoun County school board disease has migrated to Los Angeles:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10143929/California-school-board-president-said-f-k-parent-heard-saying-Oh-god-go.html
Just imagine that. You are a mom protesting Newsom’s mandated clot jab to 5-11 year olds or “no school for you!” The masks too.
Then you hear the idiot school board President! say, “Oh God! Here we go!” Then in another potential rap song lyric say, “Fuck you!” to the mom. (The ol’ hot mic problem).
Just waiting for Tucker to cover this one.
And to think that all the mom said was is, “the risks of the jabs are greater than the benefits”.
True that!
Here was the first article I saw:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10139645/California-school-board-president-caught-mic-saying-f-k-concerned-parent.html
Maybe we’re over-thinking this. These people are insane Jacobins. They have no reverse gears. They are so blinded by their psychopathic ideologies that they have no option but to push on regardless. That will be their downfall. At present, the crazier they get, the more opposition they will face. Bring it to the boil, Bolshies!
Meanwhile, Beryl, most of my friends voted for Biden (which is most of them, since I’m a former progressive who now feels that conservatism is the last bulwark left to protect liberal values like free speech, free religion, etc.) My friends are celebrating the demonization of these parents as domestic terrorists, because the parents are reaping the harvest the Republicans sowed with their War on Terror hyperbole and attack on civil rights.
My response to these friends is (1) be mindful, because you’re now celebrating that which you deplored, because of who it’s being used on (which means you’re a creature of tribe over principle which ain’t great) and (2) be wary, because those anti-terrorism tools and language will be even more effective when they’re deployed on you the next time around as you try to use your civil rights.
But it all comes back to peaking natural wealth (i.e., natural resources), the Long Emergency, catabolic collapse, and those pesky models from the early 1970s matching the data nearly perfectly a half-century later: https://paulkingsnorth.substack.com/p/intermission-the-machine-stops
Agree. Like yeast in a barrel when the sugar runs out, we have reached the natural end of the reproducing and bubbling.
Billions of people choking on our effluents.and complaining about the lack of sugar supplies.
Maybe Durham and all his Grand Juries will still ride in on a white horse to get the indictments rolling?
Despicable that any current or previous president would side with a school board covering up a rape, and call the victims’ parents ‘extremists’.
Just disgusting beyond measure.
Nothing peaks these Woke Totalitarians. It’s amazing to watch them lie. They know the establishment backs them, so they are shameless.
If they don’t get to write the history books about the past twenty years and “the truth” prevails, just imagine!
lol, yeah! I want to be a contributor to that anthology.
If any citizen is on the moderate-Right to Hard-Right end of the political spectrum and is still shrugging his or her shoulders while meekly muttering “there’s nothing we can do” then you have some soul searching to do.
Where would America be if the founders had meekly turned over their muskets to the British Redcoats who came to confiscate them at Lexington and Concorde, saying “There’s nothing we can do.”
Where would the world be today if America has continued to sit on the sidelines in World War 2 and allowed the Nazis and the Japanese to conquer the globe because “there’s nothing we can do.”
Here’s the truth: Anyone who sits on their hands while criminals, both in an out of government, roam our country committing crimes against Americans and the rule of law with impugnity, is a part of the problem.
When a citizen who detests what is happening says “There’s nothing we can do.” He or she is copping out. They are being cowards. They are unworthy of Liberty.
What that person is really saying is “There is nothing that I’m WILLING to do, because it is RISKY, and I’m not willing to risk a damn thing to preserve Liberty in America.”
Think about that.
Does anyone here truly believe that Liberty is free? Has it EVER been free? Or will it be extinguished in a heartbeat if Americans prove that they no longer have the grit and sand that their ancestors displayed for at least the first 200 years or so of this republic’s life?
Everyone knows the answer to this.
If you are not willing to fight to preserve your freedom, then you do not deserve to remain free.
So, to everyone who keeps saying “There’s nothing we can do.” You need to re-arrange your thinking because you are not just selling your own freedom down the road, you are condemning your kids, your relatives, your neighbors, your friends, your countrymen…….to slavery and tyranny.
Can you sleep soundly at night knowing you have done this? What kind of person are you if you can?
It is hight time for real patriots in this country to Cowboy Up. If you don’t own firearms, but some…..and learn how to use them to defend yourself, your family, your neighbors, your country.
Here’s the attitude that needs to replace the “There’s nothing we can do” bullshit mantra:
* If I can shoot, I will join the battle line.
* If I can’t shoot, I’ll load.
* If I can’t load, I’ll bring ammo.
* If I can’t bring ammo, I’ll help with the wounded.
* If I can’t help with the wounded, I’ll give blood.
* If I can’t give blood, then I’m probably dead…..so strip my body of what you need and KEEP FIGHTING.
Typo correction: If you don’t own guns BUY some.
If one doesn’t own guns now, then it probably too late to do the training it takes to safely use them against the enemy. Then again, a 12 gauge pump with #4 buckshot is pretty easy to learn to use safely and accurately (and it is the ultimate for home protection). Remington 870 would be my #1 recommendation IF you can find one. Know your range limit, which is about 50 yards with reasonable accuracy. If you need more range, get a 308 rifle and get ready to do some heavy training and practice. Pistols should be a last resort due to need for very heavy practice for safe use and even more practice for accuracy; some say their purpose is to fight your way back to your rifle. 🙂
FYI.
‘ Pistols should be a last resort due to need for very heavy practice for safe use and even more practice for accuracy”.
Yup. you have to be good to get to Baldwin’s
One shot, One Kill” level.
Best recommendations for 308 rifles are: #1 FN-FAL by far,
and a distant #2, AR -10. Both semi-auto’s. For democrats, that means one trigger pull =one shot (not like full auto or machine guns with one trigger pull=many many shots) with a magazine that ‘auto’ loads (with a capacity of 20 usually).
Bolt action 308s are more accurate but are really for pro’s and highly experienced hunters, IMO.
The ubiquitous AR-15 shoots a smaller and less powerful 5.56mm (.22inch) round (basically a souped up 22) and their advantage is light weight and a much larger mag capacity (usually 30) . Their problem, found in the early days in the sandbox, is that you may have to shoot the enemy multiple times for a take down (unless you are proficient at head shots) and he can get very close to you or shoot you in that interval. This is due to low energy (muzzle energy is typically 1100 foot-lbs and at 100 yards its dropped to pistol level energy). Not so with the 308 with typical muzzle energy of 2800 foot-lbs; one shot, even at 100-200 yds in a vascularized area (torso, neck, head, fem artery) and enemy goes into both neurogenic and vascular shock and goes down hard.
Hope this is helpful for upcoming events. I suspect that most on this board already know much of this stuff, unless they are trapped in shit hole blue states. But you never know.
So I’m just offering my opinion as an avid shooter since I was seven years old (my grandfather taught me to shoot crows attacking his pecan trees, w/ a 22 single shot rifle) and i’m 68 now, so I have decent experience.
One final recommendation: focus on just a very few calibers (one shotgun, one rifle) and get as much ammo as you can afford. It will be worth it’s weight in gold very soon.
“Best recommendations for 308 rifles are: #1 FN-FAL by far,”
Doc,
I…know a guy that has both…the FAL is, by far, the preferred.
Neurodoc’s elaboration reminds me of the stories I heard of grunts in Vietnam who threw away their M-16s when they had the opportunity to take AK-47s off dead VCs.
“Where’s your weapon?”
“Lost it in the firefight, Sarge.”
lol, Bilejones. One shot, one kill AND one wounded.
Two for one. That is some fancy shooting.
The M-16. That is a metaphor for much that is wrong in society, and an excellent of example of why the government is untruthful.
I have great respect for Neurodoc in this space, but I respectully disagree with him on the M-16 in Vietnam.
When I was in college, James Fallows wrote a book called “National Defense”. What I am about to rehash is essentially what I got from his book.
During/after WWII, the Army identified a need for rifle for infantrymen that could be fired on full-automatic–like a portable M60.
The Army took a rifle (the M-1 I think), and modified it to fire on full automatic to create the M-14. The recoil (kick) was so intense is could give the shooter a nosebleed. It was hard to handle–for Americans, let alone smaller allied soldiers.
The founder (I think) of Armalite (I think name was Gene Stoner), on his own came up with an innovative, lightweight rifle, called the….AR-15 that seemed to fit the fill.
The AR-15 used innovative materials, including some plastic, to make it lighter, but the real brilliance was using smaller bullets (5.56, close to a 22) that used gunpowder that fired the bullets faster.
A smaller bullet is inherently more unstable, and wants to “tumble” vs go straight.
With a faster velocity, when this bullet hits a person (or animal) it will tumble more and create a much worse wound. It’s for shooting people, not tanks or armored cars.
The smaller bullet required a less massive (lighter) gun, which was less tiring to tote. A GI could carry more smaller bullets too. Some potentially valuable attributes when mixing it up with opposing soldiers 50 to 150 yards out.
However, the AR-15 was developed outside the Army’s acquisition bureaucracy. As such, it had a snowball’s chance of being adopted.
But wait–at some get together of some type, some gun enthusiasts showed this AIR FORCE General who was also a gun enthusiast, this gun. They set up some watermelons and let him shoot them.
The General was Curtis LeMay. Curtis LeMay orchestrated the mass bombings of WWII and created the Strategic Air Force Command. In the USAF, he was “the man”. Whatever he wanted, he got
He was so excited with his watermelon shooting he decided he wanted THIS weapon for his men! He ordered it issued to his AF troops in Vietnam (around 1961-62), and it was.
Well, word got out, this AR-15 was really slick. And since LeMay liked it and wanted more, the US Army, the service responsible for small arms, had to consider it and could not ignore it.
The US Army “studied it” and found deficiencies. It was not accurate at longer ranges and did not meet Army standards. The gunpowder was not standardized with the M1, M14, and regular Army issue.
To the Army “corrected” these issues. Primarily, they specified standard Army power, which changed the firing rate of the gun on full auto, which made the gun break down, which required other changes to make it operate, and made tweaks to make it more marksmanlike, which further adversely affected the gun, though this was conceived as a lightweight weapon for close combat, not a multi-purpose gun that your sniper could use from 2 miles out..
The Army’s mods made the weapon less reliable and prone to jamming. As you can imagine, it must be pretty terrifying when you’re in a fire fight, you pull the trigger, and not only does nothing happen, but you have to stop what you’re doing and unjam your gun…..
And that POS M-16 is what the United States government issued to Army troops (and probably Marines) it sent to Vietnam.
The oversensitive M-16 had to contend with the rain and grime of the jungle. It required constant cleaning–and it still jammed.
There was a Senate inquiry, as family members started writing their representatives and complaining that their boys’ guns were jamming.
The Communists won very few battles outright. But when they did, they always stripped the dead GIs of everything they could use–and they always left the M-16s.
Yet the US Army dragged it’s a$$. Over time, it modified the modifications, and 40 years later, the M-16 was much better.
The US Army never conceded there was a problem with the weapon, even with ample accounts of US troops found dead next to their jammed M16s, so bad that the public was aware.
Any of this sound familiar?
So, the problem in Vietnam was, the the guns jammed, not their lack of lethality.
On the other hand, the Soviets, the Communists, who were focused on the task at hand, which is efficiently killing those they wished dead (in this case US/NATO soldiers), rather than fulfilling some inane US Army regulation, came up with the AK-47, which is renowned for it’s ruggedness and reliability in the worse environments, even if it is crude, and not marksman grade. The AK-47 is very effective. Combined with motivated, intelligent, trained men to use it, quite a lethal combination, in the Vietnam in 1965, or in Kandahar in 2005.
You are correct in that it is time to fight.
Passive time is over.
Old African proverb: It takes a village? No. Rather, if you can talk you can sing. If you can walk you can dance.
Question: Does BIL Peter, who said, Ok I’ll hire a fucking cleaning lady and whose sense of self comes from objects, own a gun?
Too bad all the doctors are cowards too!
Too afraid to even read peer-reviewed studies on Ivermectin or order it to save their patients’ lives!
As a nurse I will do what I can (71 with a bad back) which as usual will come down to what I have been doing for decades: running for office and shooting off my mouth.
WotS, superbly stated, brother. I stand with you. The oath has no expiration date.
Walter, there already is the perfect instructor for the “job”; such as is stated. Sadly, we have a very experienced fellatrix as the “Vice” president. And everyone knows it, that’s why there are no pictures of her with her mouth shut.
And apparently Japan, whose Health Minister recommended the use of Ivermectin a couple of months ago, has had a miraculous drop in Covid cases. But the MSN/AP story covering it just can’t grok the connection, postulating a mysterious turn of events again confounding the experts.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/vaccines-masks-japan-puzzling-over-sudden-virus-success/ar-AAPE6ID
Denmark removed “restrictions” because so many were vaccinated, now that “cases” are soaring, they are talking about giving the old voodoo another shot.
We are seeing all over, evidence that the vaccines don’t work, and that they are causing heart problems, yet they still get away with pushing them on the world, now even on small children.
Crimes against humanity.
It may also be that Klaus, Bill and Blackrock apply a nudge of some sort to governments that let their populations out of their straitjackets for a while.
My daughter is half way to a job in Copenhagen (but not having to leave here until early summer 2022) and I was partly thinking she’d be safer over there, but who the heck knows what it’s going to be like anywhere by next summer? Although she’s already jabbed, to my great chagrin, but still.
The playbook is the same everywhere, developed with behavioral psychologists. There was an excellent segment on this over at the Corona Ausschuss.
Here in Germany, our banker turned health minister just floated the idea to the press that the government should end the state of emergency. Of course, the measures, including the tyrannical 3G and 2G regulations (2G being where they refuse the “unvaxed” entry to supermarkets) will stay.
Another “Freedom Day” that is a total inversion in every sense.
Just heard on the C4 Nooz that the delta variant has spawned a sub-variant. Apparently that’s why cases are exploding.
I left the room, as I tend to when they get on to ‘let’s look at the coronavirus news …’ but thought better of it and looked it up – apparently there are 45 sub-variants of the Delta variant. 🙂
https://tass.com/world/1355807
That’s some estuary system …
And guess what – the new one ‘may be’ 10-15% more contagious than the old one.
From Russia with Love.
Rinse, repeat.
From Russia, my ass.
That has Ft Dietrick written all over it.
Even some of the “true believers” might balk at 45 booster shots, GA. LOL
Paula: I just meant the message, which comes from Tass.
Oh, OK, my apologies.
But you just know that we will be told that one of these “variants” comes from Russia.
Just wait for it. I’m surprised they haven’t pulled that yet, actually.
Absolutely, Paula. Once you’ve established that people will believe anything, you’re good to go!
covid is flu.
But it is a man made flu/virus.
COVID is the flu, the common cold, and COVID is an aerosolized, lab produced, bio-weapon.
COVID is when the PCR coin flip returns heads.
I know too many people who were sick in Dec 2019, went to the doctor and were tested negative for flu, to believe that covid is the flu.
It is not the flu, it is a bioweapon, engineered to attack humans through their ACE receptors, which means multiple organs attacked.
Luckily the human immune system is hard to overcome and over 99% of humans were able to fight it off.
Yup!
99.95%.
As a bio weapon it is a flop.
Wonder what is next?
That’s right, Paula. Dr. Zelenko says he tested his sick patients for flu and they were all negative. Whatever they had (he treated them with his COVID protocol, with good results), it wasn’t flu.
https://rumble.com/vo9znz-dr.-zelenko-drops-atomic-bomb-where-did-the-influenza-go.html
Perhaps, but the flu is used to pad the numbers and create the illusion of an emergency and stoke the mass hysteria.
Latest I read is that those who continue with the jabs will develop AIDS in a few months as the jabs kill your natural immune system.
A few days ago Deep State mouthpiece NPR was similarly mystified by a large uptick in ER admissions that had no Beer Flu at all.
Whatever else could be happening to drive that ER uptick?
It’s all just so mysterious….
fu-k NPR
covid is flu.
It chaps my ass that our tax dollars go to support this Leftwing communist propaganda blowhorn known as “NPR.”
It’s initials outta be NPM for “National Public Menace.”
NPR has been the luckiest of the lucky. Two hundred million clams from the dying widow of Ray Croc, whose junk food has spanned the world. Poisoned it and blimped it up.
https://current.org/2016/11/the-pub-83-why-joan-kroc-gave-npr-its-biggest-gift-ever/

One take on the phenomenon: https://seemorerocks.is/japan-drops-vax-rollout-goes-to-ivermectin-ends-covid-almost-overnight/
covid is flu.
Covid is not flu.
Flu attacks respiratory receptors and is self limited.
Covid attacks ACE receptors which allows it to attack everywhere.
The novel effect of Covid last year made it virulent in comparison for a while, the media had a blast scaring everyone in their quest to dethrone Trump. In reality, its ability to get ahead of the immune systems of a very few folks made it a tremendous fear factor.
The reality is, older folks had good reason to fear Covid, but also the flu. Other than that, Covid has a few outliers that the media can use as fear factors but now has about the same impact as the flu.
Interesting point, the flu up to now seems to have taken a hiatus. Could it be that large scale social distancing changes, not shaking hands as much, knowing who you are touching, having an increase in social spacing, might be having a deleterious affect on the flu which is droplet mediated instead of airborne. Hope so!
It might mean that airborne transmission of Covid is what remains.
Yes, influenza is not a corona virus. They are zoologically distinct organisms.
On the other hand, COVID is the flu, the common cold, and COVID is an aerosolized, lab produced, bio-weapon.
COVID is when the PCR coin flip returns heads.
The COVID pogrom required more fear than actual deaths.
The confusion over COVID, sewn from the onset is one of the characteristics of totalitarian brainwashing. They have overwhelmed the population with misinformation and outright bullshit where COVID is concerned. The contradictions are too numerous to recount, and too annoying to suffer… again and again.
The COVID operation is the opening salvo of the Globalist’s war with China, as both parties aspire to rule the world. China was attacked with the weapon, and framed for it’s release.
I’m getting off topic… and into the deep end of the pool!
I agree with you. SARS 2 was released in the US around July 2019 and was taken to China by US soldiers during the Wuhan Military Games in Nov 2019.
China identified it as a new virus in late Dec 2019, notified the WHO and responded extremely strongly, shutting down Chinese New Year travel, building new hospitals in a week, quarantining the sick, etc.
I have a friend who does business with high level Chinese officials and they thought it escaped from the Wuhan lab at first, just as Dr. Francis Boyle said at the time.
But I don’t think they think that anymore. I see that Ron Unz pegged it as an attack on China fairly quickly and I agree, you agree, and it seems that China now agrees with that assessment.
Remember the spate of young men dying in the summer of 2019 with an unusual lung problem that made their lungs have a ”ground glass appearance”?
That is the same way that covid presents, and that is how China diagnosed the victims, unlike the US, which uses the faulty PCR test.
RE: Alfred and JohnAZ
*As used*, our word “flu” has never specifically meant some unwell feeling caused specifically by a virus of the influenza family. It meant that unwell feeling, period (or “full stop,” as some render it).
Colds, or flus, or “under the weather” feelings, they all come from any number of viruses, virus families, including Coronas at a certain baseline rate. This has been studied somewhat. That’s why some medical academic coined “FLI” or “flu-like illness.”
In other words, saying “Covid is not the flu” is not a useful point, rather like saying “the word ‘excellent’ is not English” because its base-form derives from Latin and not Old English.
My point being, because the PCR test is essentially the official test for the ‘case-demic’ and it is neither reliable nor consistent and actually configured to produce false positives. Whatever is troubling the patient when they get the positive result is COVID.
Thus,
COVID is the Flu, it’s the common cold, it’s even broken legs and motor cycle crashes.
MOST OF ALL – COVID is loneliness and isolation, which to an elderly loved one is an accelerated death sentence.
This is the bullshit vector of COVID.
COVID is also a bio-weapon. It can be deployed locally, where ever and when ever they want. Like a sheep dog herding the sheep into the pens to await their fate.
Consider the never ending argument of what COVID is or isn’t. How many times have you walked away from a discussion, or put down an article and questioned your sanity, or the sanity of the person you’re talking to? Recall the feeling you get… It’s like hitting the top of the roller coaster before the descent. That feeling is you teetering on the edge of saying, ‘fuck-it.’
That is the feeling the totalitarians are intentionally trying to evoke with the MASS CONFUSION I’m referring to.
The place to focus your intention is NOT what they’re saying about it, but rather what they are doing, and what they are doing is text book totalitarianism. We are all prisoners in the same NAZI POW camp, or work camp.
impfung macht frei
FYI; the pulmonary system has the most ACE receptors in the body with renal and cardiac systems next. COVID enters via ACE receptors and thus attacks the pulmonary system first, and then the vascular system via S1 glycoprotein spikes that are toxic and inflammatory.
RE the flu hiatus: the CDC has admitted that the COVID swab test cannot differentiate between the COV and flu, and maybe even the common cold (which is a corona virus strain). Thus its uselessness due to too many false positives and false negatives. The flu was likely out there but was called COVID due to test problems. ALso, hospitals had an incentive to diagnose COV rather than flu due to billing advantages for COV cases. And hospitals are where 99% of the epidemiologic data come from. (private clinic MDs, myself included, don’t sit around filling out bullshit fed data sheets that they know will be kept or discarded based on agendas).
Strangely, the FDA ‘pulled’ the COV swab test several months ago, but allows its use until the end of dec 2021. This is highly unusual; could it have to do with the fact that the head of the FDA sat on the board of several companies making the BS ‘tests?’ Nah!
Interesting. So the flu tests were negative for covid, but the PCR picked up flu as covid? And the monetary incentive kicked in so they tested for covid instead using the flu swabs?
That would explain a lot.
I remember the book House of God.
If you don’t look for something you won’t find it.
So they quit using flu swabs and started using PCR, instead.
And presto! No more flu, but a whole lot of covid.
More precisely, and according to the CDC itself, covid is PIC or Pneumonia, Influenza (the flu), and “Covid” itself, or failing in its existence, broadly any of the coronaviruses. In other words, it’s a cold too.
Funny how they avoid mentioning Ivermectin in that article.
I watched a video yesterday of Russian President Putin calmly and intently listening to a professor ask 2 long and complex questions and then spontaneously answer both of them in detail.
And, thought ‘what an embarrassment it is for the United States to be nominally represented by a man who can’t even answer prepared questions using a teleprompter.
Oyaji: Love or hate him, Putin is that anachronistic oddity in politics: a leader who actually gives a damn about his own country. He’s also totally outplayed the Wokes of the West and beaten them at every turn. The EU is in the front row of globalism and WEF nastiness. To achieve their aims they need to destroy independent minded nations like Russia. Yet as we speak, they are totally dependent on Russian natural gas to avoid freezing this winte. Maybe the globalists are just stupid and out of touch after all.
Absolutely, and to top it off he told the globalist douches at Cop26 GFY, I ain’t comin’! I mean, right now, Russia is deploying two massive barges in the Arctic, each carrying dual nuclear reactors, scouring the north seas for mineral resources. 4 more of these barges are on the way,
“Not interested in your flimsy windmills and solar panels, Russia needs oil and natgas. Maybe we’ll sell some to you EU suckers if you beg hard enough”. If not, go ahead and freeze your asses off in the dark it’s your choice.”-VPutin
BRH: and just to reassure you, there will be no proof of vaccination required for our beloved masters at Cop26. Rules for thee…
I read an article this morning about American troops landing in Taiwan. I was trying to reconcile why China Joe would do that, him being China Joe and all. So my next thought was, they’re going to have a fake war and give Taiwan back. Fake war, real death…
But, China Joe is more Globalist than Chinese Communist (though there’s not a lot of difference) and it occurred to me that maybe the Globalists really want to defend Taiwan, against China. And then it occurred to me that the Globalists and China BOTH want to rule the world, so it makes sense they would square off.
Russia is being coy. They’ve signaled their not with the Globalists, they’ll sell them natural gas, but they’re not interested in fighting the Chinese. They are having a relationship with the Chinese instead. This kind of explains the Globalist response to Trump, who appeared to be pivoting towards the Russians.
I’m pretty damn sure I’m a couple of moves behind reality.
“I read an article this morning about American troops landing in Taiwan. ” The article I read a few days earlier said those troops have been in Taiwan for months. One of Taiwan’s leaders spilled the beans the other day. Up until about 1979 the US regularly kept some troops on Taiwan, but around that time withdrew them in a conciliatory gesture to Red China.
I am nearly 60 years old and I remember the Cold War well, having been a participant towards the end of it in the 1980’s. If you had told me 30 years ago that I’d one day think more highly of the leader of RUSSIA than I do of any sitting POTUS, I’d have laughed hysterically.
Well…..Hell has finally frozen over.
I’ve said for some time now that I find Putin to be far more admirable as a political leader than most of our own politicians, and certainly more so than Joe Biden.
It is plainly obvious that Putin is a Russian nationalist and a patriot. He actually gives a shit about his own country and acts to defend its interests.
Is he a western-style democrat (with a small D)? No. He is a democratically elected leader with a strong authoritarian streak. So, yeah, not exactly up to our constitutional stadards.
But here is why Putin does NOT do that I approve of:
1) He does fling open his country’s borders and invite a worldwide foreign invasion.
2) He does not allow mentally ill people who cannot even figure out what sex they are to have a meaningful and influential role in running his country.
3) He does not encourage mass lawlessness on the streets where no citizen’s life or property is safe.
4) He does not weaken his police and military forces with idiotic woke ideology.
5) He does not abandon Russian citizens who find themselves in peril abroad.
6) He does not denigrate his own country’s language, culture, history, and traditions.
7) He does not cripple his own country’s energy industry to appease “climate change” extremists and alarmists.
8) He does not deliberately sabotage his country’s economy.
9) He does not fritter way his country’s treasury on idiotic “programs” that his country cannot afford.
10) He does not appoint mentally deranged trannies to be 4-Star “admirals.”
11) He does not govern while mentally crippled with dementia.
I could probably go on and on, but I’ll let others add to the list, if so inclined.
Typo corrections:
But here is what Putin does NOT do that I DO approve of:
1) He does NOT fling open his country’s borders and invite a worldwide foreign invasion.
Wizard: spot on. I spent months of my life in the Navy helping to track Soviet warships and submarines. I read all of Solzhenitsyn and, after working in Eastern Europe, grew to hate communism and everything it stands for. Yet what you say about Putin is true. Remember when Fukuyama was telling us how Western liberalism had won the day and history was at an end? Who would have thought, 30 years later, that East and West would have swopped roles?
Yes, he is a Facist and that’s a good thing – Fascism just being the European philosophy of Nationalism.
It was pretty impressive last week, Russian marines taking out Somali pirates on the high seas who had boarded a Russian freighter.
Wizard, the Chinese and Russian high command must have gotten a good laugh out of the new 4 star tranny Admiral, Rachel Levine. Then they were high fiving each other.
And to think, when was was a young enlisted sailor in the US Navy, I held these people (officers) in the highest esteem.
BRH: Nah, I’m sure the Russkies and Chinese are terrified (sarc off)! .
Re natural gas, my Moscow friend (financial/economic analyst specializing in energy issues) writes this a.m.:
“P[utin] announced this week about the increase of natural gas supply to European consumers in order to fill their underground gas storages. For some [in Russia] it looked as a gesture of unbelievable generosity that does not make sense with regard to our European “partners”. They blamed Russia many times in creating the current gas market crisis, although Gazprom had completely fulfilled its contractual obligations. It is surprising that they did not blame the U.S. shale gas suppliers or Qatar (plus Norwegian, Algerian, etc. ) gas producers that had redirected their LNG supply flows to the lucrative gas markets in Asia.
Actually, a rational reason for the P’s decision was that the prices of European imports of goods would otherwise have grown up and contributed to the consumer price inflation in Russia. In my view, this is a good example of a cooperative solution in the sense of game-theoretic reasoning. A one-sided solution beneficial for Gazprom would be to continue exercising its monopoly position and to limit gas supply to the European spot market.
The European spot price for gas fell immediately after P made this announcement by 300 hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters (that is roughly by a quarter)! Nevertheless, I am sure that the anti-Russian EC politicians will continue to blame Russia and P in the current energy crisis.
They all are indeed tinfoil hat crazies!”
Indeed they are. As are their US counerparts who are the ones actually driving this energy insanity. As Gail Tverberg writes in her latest post on energy (www.ourfiniteworld.com):
“”European economists should have told European citizens, “There is no way you can get along using renewables alone for many, many years. Treat the countries that are exporting fossil fuels to you very well. Sign long term contracts with them. If they want to use a new pipeline, raise no objection. Your bargaining power is very low.” Instead, European economists talked about saving the planet from carbon dioxide. It is an interesting idea, but the sad truth is that if Europe takes itself out of the contest for energy imports, it mostly leaves more fossil fuels for exporters to sell to others. “
Russia is no.2 on the target list, right after the US.
Putin knows it.
It is ironic that with all the brouhaha about climate change, the countries that will retain power are the ones with fossil fuels. That is why the globalists want climate power to drive down these superpowers.
Ain’t gonna happen. Until the climate idiots come up with an economically feasible, effective substitute for oil and gas, things will remain as it is.
Want proof? What happens to the EU if Russia says no? Or China?
The worst scenario for the globalists is if Russia and the US diversify their economies to the point they do not have to depend of FF exports any more. That means the US starts building itself again.
That is why Obama and Biden have tried to destroy our manufacturing sector, to force us, and Russia to keep shipping oil.
I wonder how much of a charade the anti oil climate folks really are. I have a feeling that we shall soon see as the prices just keep climbing. Could be the US, Russia and the Middle East may have the world by the gonads in a few years.
Rothschilds, Soros, Rockefeller stick that one away.
As Jim points out in TLE, there is no effective substitute for fossil fuels. It doesn’t exist, which is the reason the “Transition to Renewables” is such a joke. Yet they present it to us with a straight face.
Energy density…those are some fabulous molecules! Coal is to benzine as cocaine is to Walter White’s blue miracle.
Second time I’m paraphrasing Benford today: A passage in one of his books describes a machine civilization that had found a planet of hydrocarbons (black gold, Texas tea), and was sucking it dry. There’s endless energy out there, and in wondrous forms, but we have to have used our local reserves wisely to escape. I don’t think The West has it anymore. Let’s see if China or Russia can see this and act.
JohnAZ: Nailed it. The globalists forgot to factor that one in, didn’t they? Here in Europe, the only way to keep warm this winter might be to buy a wood burning stove or join BLM and burn down your local neighbourhood.
Speaking of Russia, if a bunch of woke American tourists started spouting their shit to a crowd in Moscow they’d be laughed at and mocked.
Jimmy Dore did a very telling video yesterday with the video editor Matt Orfalla about the trans woman who led the weak “protest” against Dave Chapelle.
Matt just did a funny compilation video against this woman and put it on FB where it was promptly taken down:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jShW1jz_VUw
What’s there to hate? Every speech I have seen him give is accurate and detailed. GMO’S, US invasions and destruction of other countries, and wokeness/cancel culture/ transgenderism to name 3 topics I have heard in detail. All seemed well reasoned and truthful. Then there are our lying, corrupt bastards in America…
That video must be coming from a long speech Putin recently made at the Valdai club, apparently something like a russian version of Davos. Here is an english translation of the transcript:
https://valdaiclub.com/events/posts/articles/vladimir-putin-meets-with-members-of-the-valdai-discussion-club-transcript-of-the-18th-plenary-session/
I was reading this and it was a shock. What, other countried have grown ups as leaders? And he wasn’t just adequate. He seemed not just competent, in command of issues down to details like the price of natural gas, but also loving and caring about his nation, and its place among nations and in history. A De Gaulle for Russia.
As you said, his speech was followed by a long Q&A, and he was able to make long, sensible answers to every possible topic raised, from the pandemic to Afghanistan to freedom of the press to China to energy to Ukraine etc. I try to picture a Biden, a Trudeau doing something like this and the absurdity hurt, I felt like I wanted to weep, why oh why, what went wrong how come we are stuck with this clown or that clown?
On immigration:
“People in [lagging] countries have a growing sense of unfulfilled and failed expectations and the lack of any opportunities not only for themselves, but for their children, as well. This is what makes them look for better lives and results in uncontrolled migration, which, in turn, creates fertile ground for social discontent in more prosperous countries. I do not need to explain anything to you, since you can see everything with your own eyes and are, probably, versed on these matters even better than I.”
On woke historical revisionism:
“We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this. Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, “reverse discrimination” against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal.
The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.”
There you have it, Putin calling the wokes bolsheviks. Or regarding the new sexual mores in Loudon county schools Mr. Kunstle condemned:
“In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there.
[] Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.”
I could go on and on, pretty much every paragraph I just wanted to cheer. Tell it like it is, preach on, brother!
I’d invite you to read all of it. And ponder: this is the man almost systematically depicted in the western media as the greatest force for evil in the world today.
Over and over, the future is an ongoing battle between the Haves and Have nots with the PTB playing both sides off each other.
A question for our Black friends,
What has Biden done for you lately? Where is Kamala Harris? Why does Al Sharpton have to request that Biden use Harris more and quit ignoring her?
Someday, you will figure out how badly you have been played and hopefully remember the power increase you enjoyed with Trump.

Everything is inverted 180 degrees. Everything. Start with the inverse of everything you hear or read, and you’re much closer to the truth.
I also admire Putin as an astute, nationalist, sovereign leader who is proud of his country, it’s culture and history.
The Trump of the tundra.
Yet Putin has never had the balls to repudiate Bolshevism and Communism in general. More: He yearns for the recreation of the Soviet Union.
What sort of repudiation are you expecting?
Just in the quotes I had, you can read: “the Bolsheviks destroyed the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society.” “beware of going where the Bolsheviks planned to go” “they were absolutely intolerant”
And if you go to the full transcript, you could find he goes on and on. On 1917: “revolutionary shocks led to the collapse and disintegration of a great power” “revolutions are not a way to settle a crisis but a way to aggravate it. No revolution was worth the damage it did”
The guy is a full-stack Burkean conservative!
“This conservative approach is not about a fear of change or a restraining game, much less about withdrawing into our own shell. It is primarily about reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and growth of the population, a realistic assessment of oneself and others, a precise alignment of priorities, a correlation of necessity and possibility, a prudent formulation of goals, and a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method. And frankly, in the impending period of global reconstruction,[] moderate conservatism is the most reasonable line of conduct, as far as I see it.”
“The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation. Such actions can destroy not only the material, but also the spiritual foundations of human existence, leaving behind moral wreckage where nothing can be built to replace it for a long time.”
“’Conservatism is not something preventing upward, forward movement, but something preventing you from sliding back into chaos.’ If we treat conservatism this way, it provides an effective foundation for further progress.”
“Yet Putin has never had the balls to repudiate Bolshevism and Communism in general. More: He yearns for the recreation of the Soviet Union.”
I read his Oct 22 speech as a repudiation of Bolshevism and Communism in general.
Back during the South Ossetia incident, the Georgians killed a few Russian peacekeepers thus the Russian Federation military proceeded to roll over Georgia. They then pulled back.
At the time Putin made clear he was not building any sort of an empire, neither would he tolerate killing Russian peacekeepers.
Perhaps I was wrong. But he has spoken of the fall of the Soviet Union as the greatest tragedy of the 20th century. And many of the nations of Eastern Europe continue to fear Russia – which is a tragedy since these nations and Russia are the only hope of Western Civilization.
The Russians as presently the Russian Federation are a large land mass with huge resources but not a very large population. They have at present the technologic advantage over much of the countries on the planet with their weapons systems.
Since they are not seeking to be aggressors they can concentrate on defensive systems with offensive capability as deterrence.
It remains to be seen what occurs in the Donbass. It is possible events will unfold which will bring those “break-away republics” who speak Russian, being ethnic Russians, either into the Federation or result in the formation of a quasi-independent country with close ties to Russia.
I would not call this empire expansion, rather a rejoining of a population group to the larger entity, as was the case with Crimea.
What will happen to the rest of the Ukraine is unclear. The Bandera neonazis will seek to dominate the remaining territory. Will they have a sponsor? Will they succumb to tenuous assurances from entities represented by “Joe Biden” and seek to disrupt whatever balance might exist in the area up to and including direct military action in Eastern Ukraine?
Will they instigate a conflict they can only lose?
It doesn’t look good. Major conflict has been avoided so far, but now the Minsk agreement seems to have been relegated to the toilet.
The Russians can bide their time, at least for a while longer, and see how it plays out.
if you want a deeper dive, it is referred to as ” 08-08-08 “
He’s allowed millions of Central Asian Muslims to gather in the Moscow area. They bid fair to be the dominant in the “Russian” federation by 2100. Putin hates White Nationalists. In this regard, Putin is an utter fool.
Will a Muslim Russia still be Russian in any real sense? If an Italian restaurant starts serving Chinese, is it still an Italian restaurant?
I love Chekhov’s short stories, which took place in the 1880s and 1890s. Then I think, these country people and places Chekhov writes about will be facing Lenins and Stalins meat grinder in 3 or 4 decades.
Chekhov’s wife was repressed by the Bolsheviks in the late 20s to the mid1930s.
I watched a round table with doctors and scientists yesterday and a pediatric psychiatrist said that babies born since March 2020 have had a 20 point drop in IQ simply due to everyone’s faces being covered and not having that human interaction with expressions.

scoubidou123,
Thank you for that eye-opening link to the Putin speech. Bravo!
I have a Russian friend, over here about 10 years, from Siberia via Moscow. When we first met I asked about Putin. She said. Russia needs a strong man to keep the oligarchs and mafia under control. She loves Putin.
Oyaji:
I have long watched Putin—literally, I mean, when I have been able to see videos of him in situations of public discourse. For instance, if he was a guest of the Sunday program host, Soloviev (I think).
I had Russian in high school but have lost most of it. However, Putin speaks so clearly and concisely when people loft questions at him—he is one who can think in paragraphs, and offer clear explanations. His speaking manner and tone etc. are so clear that with the aid of captions, I can catch quite a lot on the fly. The man is truly impressive.
At one meeting he had last year in which he discussed and answered questions regarding agriculture, a woman described problems providing adequate nutritious school lunches to children in a school somewhere in the Urals. Putin listened to her presentation and responded: We have to take care of that. Then he turned to an aide of his and said, I am directing Mrs. whatever her name was to contact you to take immediate steps to solve this issue. Please meet with her after this session.
You knew that it would be done, and there would be follow-up. He had facts and figures at his fingertips regarding the new agricultural program in the southern part of the country to build self-sufficiency in non-GMO fruits and vegetables and also dairy products. Absolutely incredible. Mind like steel trap. Modest. Determined.
I agree. He is amazing and he does care about the people of Russia.
I watched an “interview” (hit piece) done by a hack named Megyn Kelly. I watched the US version, which was interrupted by propagandists telling us what we were seeing, and then telling us how horrible Putin was. They only aired the parts in which she attacked him, and censored his response. Plus, there were lots of commercials.
Then I watched the Russian version (with sub-titles). They aired the entire interview. No edits, no commercials. Putin was amazing, both in his super human patience and in his ability to explain things clearly.
” I watched the Russian version (with sub-titles). They aired the entire interview. No edits, no commercials. Putin was amazing, both in his super human patience and in his ability to explain things clearly.” US MSM coverage of Putin’s recent speech has been pretty much as you stated. Since he spoke for several hours, it is hard to find a complete English transcript.
Maybe jhk could interview Putin…..
And who do we have instead? Wretched vermin like AOC, Omar, BoJo and Trudeau. Men against Boys.
HtW: “…Men against Boys…”
I rather imagine that the parade of clowns, grifters and stooges that the electorate is presented with every few years is nothing more than a bald expression of the contempt held by those in power for the rest of us. Their contempt is so naked that they dare to prop up a dissolute “dry drunk” playboy like Dubya Bush, or a manufactured Mad Ave player like O-Bomber, and expect the nation to take him as seriously as those earnest presstitutes on TV and in the blats pretend to.
It all started with Bonzo Reagan. When they [amazingly] saw that they could not only get away with that, but that he was considered an august statesman and elegant representative for the USA, they knew they could do as they wished.
Recall the pitiful parade of latter-day Roman emperors, put in place then cut down (often literally so) by the Praetorian Guard – the real power-holders. Even killing them off would change nothing, as the Empire went sliding sideways.
Yeah Putin is known for, once a year, going live for a marathon Q&A on national TV, and people bring up whatever the concerns are…
– My wife is threatened of being fired by her boss for not taking the vaccine, but she has a medical condition exempting her
– the city wants to have me pay for connecting my house to the natural gas line
– what is going on with Ukraine
– etc
Of course you wonder how much of it is stage-managed, yet Putin seems pretty solid throughout.

Izzy: Great news about Japan. That’s another nation that has wriggled out of the globalist grasp by not pushing the death shots.
Thank God the Japanese had the common sense to change course and show others the way.
This was mainly possible because unlike most other Western countries, Japan remains an almost 100% homogenous society. Their minds are not confused by woke multiculturalism and their society still respects science, truth, and logic.
The rest of the Western World would do well to emulate their example and end this rush towards mass national suicide. End open borders. End multiculturalism. End Wokeism.
Enough of the insanity. Only real, authentic, homogenous nations will survive in the long haul.
Also they are quietly and steadily rearming and have been doing so for the last decade. No one is going to save them from China except themselves since Uncle Sam became Aunt Samantha.
Wizard: their decision was also surprising because they are notoriously germophobic and somewhat obsessed about hygiene. I would have thought they’d go full in for any new vaccines.
C’mon.
You think that if the Covid subsided in the next six months that it would make one single difference in the global situation.
The good thing would be that maybe everyone would talk about stuff that makes a difference.
The goal is not the eradication of covid.
The goal is the tracking system they are implementing, using covid as an excuse.
Someone pointed out that the name “covid” is an acronym for
Certificate Of Vaccination ID.
Yes!
Paula,
wow, thanks for that. Makes sense.
I thought that COV was meant to stand for “coronavirus.” But whence the ID part?
Maybe this is it. Maylbe it helps explain why they were already talking about covid 19 back in 2017.
Because they knew they would introduce some kind of coronavirus in 2019 as a cover (hey!) for an ID system that GAVI, Gates, et al. have wanted to “introduce”/impose for years.
Of course they have been developing the vectors for this. Something that can be injected.
Better than a tattoo.
Tattoos can be removed.
The Japanese are able to resist, subtly but firmly, when they see a program clearly not in their national interest. They are an eminently practical people; from 1946 onward there was open scorn and contempt for the militarists, the ones who had led the nation into utter devastation – not because they had lost the Pacific War but because they had plunged into it blindly and fervently, when it was clear they were up against a superior power.
Music-hall Prime Minister Tojo shouts “What is the outcome of the Battle of Midway?”
Fearful Navy Admiral: “Absolute disaster! We lost 3 carriers! They snookered us!”
Tojo (triumphantly): “Declare this a great victory for the Empire of Japan.”
[Sad, rich laughter from the audience.]
That the Japanese government would find a way to excuse themselves from the clot-shot-fest is no surprise.
A few years ago a group of Iranians in Kansai proposed to build a mosque in the city of Kobe.
They were politely turned down.
“Islam is not suitable for Japan.”
I found that rich.
Sadly, under the current regime, the “arc of history” for America points to social collapse. In this Fourth Turning, America’s leaders have failed it with tragic consequences.
I expect American refugees to turn up at the Canadian border some day before 2025. We’ll welcome those who aren’t “woke”.
Raymond R: The way things are going it’s hard to tell which of the two it’s best to flee to. Maybe in 2025 they’ll be millions of Yanks and Canucks meeting on the border, asking “Your place or mine?”
Good one! Too true! I certainly wouldn’t be heading for Canada anytime soon.
The USA is probably easier to “disappear” in than Canada, at this point.
While I am totally in-synch with your analysis, I’m confused as to why Americans would look to Canada as a refuge from Wokesterism? Justin Trudeau is one of the most hopelessly woke political leaders on the planet.
Now, if the more conservative western provinces of Canada were to secede and form a sensible country led by sensible people, I would agree that I could see myself moving to, say, Saskatchewan, or Alberta.
I remember that Fourth Turnings are often violent rebellions against the evil that exists from the past 25 years or so.
We are ripe.
Civil War II The Coming Breakup of America
Thomas W. Chittum
http://www.colchestercollection.com/titles/C/civil-war-two.html
It won’t be pretty.
Have you ever read “War of the World” by Niall Ferguson, Wilburs?
Interesting analysis of what happens when multi-ethnic empires break up into nationalistic units.
Basically, we have all seen this movie before. The entire twentieth century featured the breakup of the empires of; Austro-Hungary, Russia, Japan and Ottomans (not to mention the British Empire).
Everyone got a front row set to to the ghastly, murderous process.
They didn’t really break up on their own, but got major pushes.
The Brits were salivating over the Ottoman Empire for a long time; in fact, aiding its breakup and scooping up the valuable bits was very likely a cabal of British deep-staters maneuvered the country into the Great War in the first place. Of course they also wanted to eliminate the competition of the swiftly developing German ReichWilhelm sort of finally figure out that he’d been had (the operation went forward full speed ahead once his grandmum, Queen Victoria, died).Which had been helping the Ottomans overcome infrastructure and military weaknesses with technological (railroads) assistance and investment and military assistance (training of officer corps, etc.). So, Germany had to go. (Top British Jews hated Germany already and wanted Palestine.)
And the same goes for the Austrian Empire. There were definitely plenty of ethnic cracks, but there were also outsiders wedging, wedging . . .
Islander: Yep, we Brits have a lot to answer for. And what did our cunning manoeuvres to bring down Imperial Germany, take over the Ottoman Empire and secure the goodies in the Middle East empire bring us in the end? Victory in 1918 but total exhaustion and over-reach that spelt the end of our top dog status on the world map. Let’s hope that’s a foreshadowing of what the globalists are in for.
Multi-ethnic empires are disasters – even if they’re all of the same race and religion. Now consider multiracial, cultural, and cult America. It’s a fucking nightmare and a joke.
Islander: Tell Mary. Maybe she’ll listen to you.
Instead of insult, speak to people where they’re at, not where you want them to be.
Addendum- I say that as a long-time lurker, who trusts and values Jarek, Islander, and Mary highly.
As if I’d change my stance on something because some random extremist misogynist on someone’s blog told me to.
LMAO!
Glad to see you here, Alzaebo.
Sure. Come again, Al. You’ll learn about Mary over time. No one tells her what to do. Any logical proof is telling her what to do, you see.
Jar, you should reread als post from yesterday about sisters….
He said you have to work with the army you’ve got.
From the book’s blurb:
“He therefore predicts that Brazilianization dooms America to die a violent death, breaking it into three ethnically-based new countries along Mexican/European-American/Black lines from broad regions already predominantly populated by those groups.”
I wonder whether a breakup along racial lines will group the blacks and Hispanics together. I think many Latinos and Hispanics will choose to be “white.” Because many of them already do so, according to a number of studies (sorry, too long ago for me to be able to locate them).
A quick search gives some hits, e.g.:
https://www.cnn.com/2014/05/29/opinion/liu-study-hispanics-favor-whiteness/index.html
But I also think it is likely that the real breakup will be along ideological lines. In that case, too, many Hispanics and Latinos, but not all, will go with the white “Patriots.” The question in my mind is how this would break down geographically. Because there are plenty of white “Patriots’ in the Northeast, and I highly doubt that they will abandon this territory. But who knows? Things sure could get messy.
In the Revolutionary period, most of the Loyalists decamped to Canada. It is interesting to contemplate which group of Americans will identify and “loyalists” and which as “rebels.”
It may turn out to be important which group succeeds in grabbing the “loyalist” label.
Islander: that’s what I thought too about Chittum’s book. There will be some racial overtones in any break up, but it will indeed be more likely to be along ideological lines. I can’t believe that every single non-white in the US (and elsewhere) is happy with all the PC and Woke garbage either.
Why are we not speaking about the proposed billionaire tax?
One advantage to going woke is the ability to see through the propaganda employed by the ultra-rich and the cohort of right-wing news establishments that service their bullshit.
“Is America Socialist?”, the headlines cry out! In time of need, they start pandering to the conservative base with their appeals to capitalism, free markets, and government overreach, ’cause God forbid multi-billionaires be forced to pay up, and yes, pay more.
You don’t get to exploit a broken tax system, a rigged “free market” system, and a wealth protecting off-shoring and unrealized gains (they borrow against assets) system without having to pay for it.
But even Joe “I love Guns and real women” working class righty sees through that. They see how the greediest of society keep getting richer. Moving their business off-shore while profiting from the members-only insider training rackets more commonly referred to as “hedge funds”.
No, nobody feels sorry for the oligarchs. The plutocrats.
You wanted woke, well, you got it: go woke, go broke*
*now applies to the poor multi-billionaires
Ever consider that when you take away capital from the wealthy productive sector and hand it to the indigent, we do not have a clue sector, that you might be damaging the economic strength just a tad.
Look at infrastructure. The productive folks use it more than the non-productive so they should pay more of the freight. Like truckers on the highway. A fair progressive income tax, pay more as you earn more, is in order. Not the 90% crap of the fifties, a fair tax progression that would allow the corporations and other businesses to fire most of their tax lawyers.
Do I think it possible with the idiots in the Deep State? Not on your life.
Wealthy productive?
The idle rich multi billionaires??!!
You seriously believe this???!!
Man, you’re more brainwashed than suspected!!
Besides, who said anything about handing money to poor??!
Karen, you forget that these folks started out poor, or their empires. They all started by coming up with something the public wanted or needed.
Oil. Rockefeller
Steel Carnegie
Finance Morgan
Ford Cars
Edison Electricity and Light
Edison Audio
RCA Transistor
Intel IC chip and Microprocessor
Gates Microsoft office. Microsoft operating system
Steve Jobs Apple Mac, IPhone wireless
I do not know the name but a failed master’s thesis on distribution became FedEx.
Musk EV leader space leader
Throughout History, one man or a small group invented things and built dynasties. These are the productive wealthy.
Brainwashed, my butt.
Your last statement is ignorant. News out today that Biden wants to hand $500000 to each family crossing the southern border who have been separated. All medical care is being provided for these indigent law breakers. Crime levels are building rapidly because these people have nothing else to do. Where do you think the federal government wants to do with its 3.5 trillion dollar package. Even the moderate Dems are choking on this giveaway.
All of them, now, a synonym for a “shady existence”.
What a coincidence.
While I haven’t looked into this very much, my impression is that billionaire-level wealth is mostly conferred by government through monopolies, subsidies, and market-rigging against smaller competitors through licensing, taxation, and regulations.
You can see this is the dairy industry, which makes it virtually illegal for a small farmer to sell milk, and in agriculture in general, where the corporate farms are subsidized. Small famiy farms also get subsidies, but they are pretty much crumbs, and government has made it virtualy illegal for them to sell many agricultural products, and they can’t compete on price against the subsidized corporate farms.
“Little-guy” start-ups are often made impossible through licensing and regulation. One small example of this is that people in my area often complain that they can’t find and electrician who will do work at their home or business. This is because and independent-contractor type of electrician would have to be licensed in several counties and multiple cities and towns to have a viable business, and the licensing costs alone make this impossible.
Another example: One of my relatives, a retired nurse, started a highly successful business travelling to the homes of elderly people to give pedicures. The licensing and regulatory requirements were not onerous in Kansas, but when she moved a few miles across the state line to Missouri, these requirements were so onerous that she had to give up the business–clearly designed to lock most people out of such a business.
These are just micro-examples, but I suspect the game becomes progressively more rigged in the case of larger businesses. Obamacare is one example of a tax policy designed to destroy small businesses.
I do recall JAz confession of inheriting a small oil well from his ancestor who knew how to break some knee caps in order to secure it for himself, as common in those times. That alone made him a “conservative”, “fighter for the cause” and a poster boy in reciting “capitalism in theory” with a gaze and tears in his eyes, but blind to simple fact what is going around him at this moment.
Recent anniversary of Qadhdhafi’s demise there were quite a few of articles about what nationalized oil did to the lives of citizens of Libya prior to destruction by the US lead coalition.
Lost irony in brief moment of cheer to those accolades by the blind sheep baffles me still.
Haha!
John is another useful idiot serving the creme de la creme.
Probably sitting on a few mill and constantly worried about when the tax man gonna come knocking.
He bought all the phony rags to riches stories-as if that makes it OK- that the unwoke hold to like a preacher to his New Testament.
It’s all a crock of BS that served to associate unfettered capitalistic greed with the republic
It’s all bullshit John, and we’re coming to shovel the pens, like the 5th labor of Herecles.
Karen:
JAZ is a believer in the American dream.
To come back down to earth about people like Rockefeller, a good place to start is Matthew Josephson, The Robber Barons.
Very readable; well documented.
In most libraries, but you will want to underline.
You can get a used one for under five bucks on Amazon.
Oh my! And George said it’s called a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
John is asleep.
He stopped believing in the American spirit when he was possessed by the fever dream!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!! B
Like to see the woke liberal fucks hanging from the trees.
I’d like to see the “leaders” who used a virus as an excuse to install a totalitarian regime, be forced to recant, and then shot anyway.
I want their faces stapled to a table and then eaten by Tunisian sand flies – big, hungry ones!
Just think, the only check on that sadistic ghoul was the head of bioethics at his agency- his wife!
Is it true that his wife, Christine Maxwell, is the sister of Ghislane Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell?
I don’t know about that. But if I hear Fauci has been french kissing Dr Levine, I’m losing my lunch.
Did you see Dr Levine in his/her new admiral’s uniform? The only thing missing was The Village People singing “In the Navy”.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/10/19/levine-transgender-four-star-admiral-public-health-service/
Guess that’s why they made him an admiral in the Navy instead of a general in the Army.
They are rubbing our faces in it.
I’d like to have the privilege of throwing the ropes over the branches and tying the nooses.
Sorry…..but like most everyone else, I’ve so beyond fed-up that I need a new vocabulary to express where I’m currently at.
Mark me down as beyond fed up.
I struggle not to start foaming at the mouth when reading about stuff like Loudon county.
But what effective, constructive action can I take?
TCL I think many of us suffer from this conundrum. We are ready to do whatever it takes to end this madness but lack direction. Not saying that we need some flamboyant patriot leader, that would be the kiss of death.
I read a blog post recently that the upcoming insurrection will most likely resemble the Irish “Troubles”. Guerilla fighting, quick strikes, bombs and the like. If more of these woke politicos were afraid each they stepped out of their door it would be a start.
I’m thankful that these parents in Virginia are taking a stand. All it takes is one brave act to kindle the flame. Because I live in a like-minded area it’s hard to imagine this type of action, but our sheriff and commissioner have assured us that when the tribes head up our way from Atlanta they and about three other counties will shut all roads down. It’s a start.
The sad fact is that until people become truly uncomfortable, whether it be from hunger or cold, most are willing to stand on the sidelines.
Trump was the leader of the opposition until he was gunned down. The shame of it was that it was GOP people that manned the battery.
I’m afraid, though, that a large part of the strategy is to get us to kulak ourselves, like the Anabaptists of the Ukraine, or the 60 million Orthodox slaves of the Gulag, working the timber and mining concessions to repay the Revolution’s funders in New York.
Culture war, war without weapons, is a low-energy, low cost form of political aikido: leveraging the target’s weight against him.
Let the body of his nation do the work.
Al, can you give an example of said akido in practice?
Or ten…pls & thnx
TCL: Constructive action? Simple: don’t take the jab. Ever. That’s all any of us can and have to do. Each day, week, month that goes by with a significant majority not being jabbed, the more chance that the psychopaths will self-destruct. Thermidor approaches!
Lobster? Oh, goody
And just maybe it’s time to put an end to the Woke march through our history.
Oh man, that would be lovely. Long way to go on that though…history must complete the cycle of stupidity first, and half the country still thinks Woke is a good thing.
I know some kids in the next generation, currently in the on-deck circle of society, that give me some hope.
They think Wokeness is stupid, Let’s hope that spreads, and fast.
I think the popularity of the “Let’s Go, Brandon” phenomenon is a good indicator that all is not completely lost with the youth.
“I think …”
Hahaha. Is that what you call it?
There’s a ‘neuveau riche’ neighborhood (formerly a nice ranch) nearby, on one of my cycling routes, that is at the end of a stretch of baseline road, with retaining walls on the uphill side. One of the retaining walls gets zapped with slogans about once or twice a month now, the latest was “Joe Biden muched my a**!” This was slightly toned down from previous messages. There is an obvious patina of repaint on the wall as the city (paid for by you’n’me) gets repeatedly called to ‘do something!’ about it.
This is a spot where ‘the youts’ now gather in race cars at night and make six metric s#!+-tons of noise. Those PMC-level folks are locked in a ‘gated community,’ have coyotes eating their pets, wild fires jumping the road, and now night races. Having to read “Joe Biden sucks big d***!” from behind the wheel of their Porsches must really chap their sphincters!
Gawd that’s hilarious. Californians who moved here are always shrieking on NextDoor that they’ve spotted a *gasp* bobcat! Everyone stay indoors! Those of us who didn’t grow up in a bubble just laugh at them.
I’m with you, Mango. It is gratifying when one occasionally encounters a young person under 30 who is “based” instead of “woke.”
Based: the opposite of de-based.
For example,
Marriage is based.
Hookups are de-based.
Regarding the vengeance imperative, I have a question to ask the ever-informative Clusters:
Can anyone tell me about how the vaxxpass is affecting trucking and supply chains in Europe?
I heard them making noise about vax mandates here in the US, and I haul cargo from the LA ports to the Northeast weekly.
Are the drivers slowing or striking in the EU?
Thanks, CFers, I don’t trust the official organs and rely on Mr. K and his rowdy stalwarts as a mainstay.
Alzaebo: all I see is my little corner of Switzerland and France, and I see no difference from usual. I’m out on the road a lot with my job and have still dodging in and out of enormous rigs on the main autoroutes from all parts of Europe. Don’t see many shortages on the shelves either. Maybe the big manufacturers are having trouble but I’m not sure. France is screwed anyway, but no by supply chain problems. Just my two cents worth, my friend. Hope it goes well for you and God Bless America!
https://childrenshealthdefense.salsalabs.org/worldwidewalkoutskickoff?wvpId=dbb0cbd9-0874-4f77-a998-055f4b89d372
With what I’ve been able to gather from the CF Nation, I’d like to predict a probable future:
When you kill the chicken to scare the monkey, you don’t kill ALL the chickens. Just enough.
I surmise we kulaks are going to be squeezed into supply-chain rationing, with a wave of labor Replacement.
Include the Afghan small-arms fighters as enforcer strike units and spoilers to counter the 2A types.
The Holodomor won’t arrive until we discover our girls are sterile about 5 to 10 years down the line.
For now, though, I’d say enough targeted batches were saline shots to get us used to the new normal of an elevated casualty count, enough to make the monkeys take the pandemic marketing seriously, but not the wave of ADE Killshot we were dreading.
Our post-industrial, post-manufacturing economy of such ‘services’ as the legal, education, and compliance sectors has added a new wrinkle: the ‘medical’ services industry of keeping enough people sick and unemployed that a treatment, tracking, and UBI economy will absorb the Federal Reserve inflation.
Government spending is accounted for as a rising GDP. A Treatment economy will appear in Wall Street ledgers as growth, further feeding the asset-stripping class and their media messengers. The Replacements need only keep costs low until the resisters are too old, feeble, and few to demand pensions or rights.
A slo-mo Holodomor for the kulaks of Western civilization.
The water will simmer in a bleed-off like a continuous low-intensity conflict, but the planners aren’t intending a boil…yet.
Now, for those volunteers who still fight in the political arena, I applaud you. Sanctuary states such as Florida and Texas depend on on only one election, yet they still may serve as redoubts for the Untouchables, offering a parallel dissident economy for the unemployed cops, nurses, EMTs, and the shopkeepers who will serve them as happened in the Gold Rush. North America is still the largest pan-Caucasian tribe on the planet.
(With all that implies.)
What you outline is definitely what they have in mind; in fact, they make no secret of it. However, we aren’t docile kulaks or WW2 era Jews. Most successful societal changes and revolutions only involve a small percentage of the population. So it will be this time with the resistance. We are already seeing this: nations refusing the jab, defying the EU; Red states carrying out silent secession from DC, whole areas of the world taking Ivermectin. The great irony of this is that we may indeed end up Building Back Better – not in the way the globalist psychopaths imagine, but more in a localised, downsizing, people-power kind of way. It’s a time of great fear and uncertainty, but also of hope and opportunity. A kind of global scaled SWOT analysis!
And just Think Hereward ……….
We chose to come back at this particular time and place….
Front row seats Mister, front row seats
Yah, front. Row. Seats.
Alzaebo – I’ve seen a couple of video news reports showing long-haul truckers telling interviewers that if a vaccine mandate is imposed, they will stop hauling loads and go do something else. One was a fellow who was obviously a recent immigrant from Latin America, which I found interesting. Apparently, they won’t just be able to count on tossing a mess of illegal aliens into the cabs of 18-wheelers to replace Americans who decide to give Old Joe the finger and go on strike.
Al: What’s your take on the container ship pile up off Long Beach? I heard the Longshoreman’s Union is cutting people’s hours…..
I can’t answer that, I’m sorry. I don’t pay attention, overloaded what with scrambling as a Californian to deal with the lingering Mortgage Meltdown damage, the CARB emissions requirements damage, the AB5 independent contract damage, the Garcetti Lockdown damage…
…on top of having watched La Migra y La Reconquista since it began, up close and personal in the ghetto, grapevines, and packing houses of the Central Valley.
Let me instead offer a nice tidbit. During the height of the Panic, there I was, on the highway out of LA. All the lights were on, yet I was the ONLY THING MOVING.
Utterly deserted. Not another soul on the big roads, on the side streets, or anywhere else at 2 a.m. I wondered if I was the last one left.
Great to get this report from The Other Side.
I read today that as of tonight they will all start accruing fines daily if they don’t come in and off-load.
Pete has the answer!
“End the pandemic by getting jabbed and all will be coming up roses.” (Not an exact quote).
The board authorized a sex education booklet that instructed teenage boys how to perform oral sex on each other — with explicit illustrations of one boy on his knees servicing another boy standing
Yeah, this is a good example of the kind of thing I seriously didn’t sign up for. The maximum I would have advocated for school curricula in 1986 is the teaching of tolerance and understanding towards LGBT-kind and the strong discouragement of the sort of bullying that was commonplace back then. This bizarre swinging to the very opposite extreme sounds a like a good way to make things whipsaw back towards the previous extreme in the cultural mindset.
Call it what it is.
It’s grooming disguised as education.
Absolutely Mister, absolutely !!
Loudon County School District may be the hill the Wokesters die on. People will put up with quite a bit of stupidity but the cover-up of the rape of two girls by the same boy pretending to be a girl is indefensible and the administrators know it. But they’re doing all they can to cover their ass.
“You have all become obsessed with your own safety over the past few months, doing everything to protect yourselves from ‘domestic terrorists,’ which normal people refer to as ‘moms.’ A $3 million security budget, TSA-style pat-downs just to enter this room — all of this to ‘protect’ you adults from the people you’re supposed to serve,” she said.
https://spectatorworld.com/topic/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-meeting-october/
And then we have the father of three, Richard Levin, being given the honor of the first “woman” four star general as Rachel Levin.
First as tragedy — then as farce.
That business of the tranny 4-start admiral was like one of the deliberately farcical situations that permeate author Kurt Schlicter’s series of books set in a post-split, Civil War 2 America where a red-state dominated remnant of the United States finds itself permanently in conflict with a blue-state dominated “People’s Republic of North America.”
Even Schlicter says that the antics of the Wokesters keeps fulfilling his prophesies and forcing him to ramp up his game in each subsequent novel in order to ratchet the Wokester looneiness up to new levels of ridiculousness.
For a glimpse of the Woke future, I give you the late, great Kage Baker’s series about The Company, as in book #5, “The Life of the World to Come”.
Her wondrous Company stories kept this one alive through dreary, desperate years, in many a blizzard and storm.
For those who want something a bit less Grim and Determined- also, for dissidents, the paean of “The Empress of Mars”. Glorious! Joyous!
All the ice miners will only drink at the Empress.
A tidbit from “The Life”: of course all the chickens are dead and gone. They were too stupid to survive Animal Liberation.
Don’t get too hot on Schlicter. He still believes we can vote our way out of this in 2022 and 2024 and that the Dems are merely “incompetent”
Call it what it is!
Human nature, called ethnocentrism.
Do it my way or I will kill you.
Parents are not telling schools what to teach. Their aims are much more modest: telling them what NOT to teach.
That’s kind of like the governors who ban vaccine passports. They aren’t telling private business what they can and cannot do, they are telling the federal government they can’t tell the private businesses to ask for a government pass.
Some Republicans still aren’t clear on this.
Even if parents DID tell the schools what to teach, is that worse than having some quasi-governmental body or evil old barren commie hag Randi Weingarten telling the schools what to teach?
It’s time to abolish the Department of Education in DC. If all decisions were in the hands of the parents in the local school district a lot of this “social agenda” nonsense would evaporate.
Hell, it’s time to abolish the whole putrid, corrupt business of “public education” (which is nothing but a euphemism for what “government indoctrination centers.”)
Home school or private schools are the way to go. Put the bloody teacher’s unions and their communist woke ideology into the unemployment line.
@ Wizard:
I absolutely agree that the entire public education, K-PhD, should be abolished. Been saying this for twenty years.
In my area, the community would immediately step up to the plate, especially the churches, many of which have longed to set up church schools since forever.
I think the best approach would be for kids to be primarily home-schooled using an online curriculum, and for the churches or other community organizations to hold classes, so that each student got 2-4 hours a week in a classroom setting. Most churches already have meeting rooms, or at least a church basement. Classroom time would help students stay motivated and on-track, help them over rough spots, especially in advanced subjects, offer enrichment, and provide social interaction. Part-time teachers should not be too costly, and parents who volunteered to help with teaching could get free tuition–which should be cheap to begin with.
Since my community is very generous and charitable, I think that poor families would be granted scholarships and help with buying laptops. Do away with the portion of property tax that goes to public education, and many people in the area would have a lot more money to be generous with.
DOE, a Carter creation. If, a big if, it actually worked this country would be the best-education place on the planet.
Instead we have this absolute mess of an agenda-driven system which relegates actual fundamental learning and necessary life skills (reading, math, being able to string a few coherent, grammaticaly correct sentences together to form either a written paragraph or intelligible speech) to a back seat in a dead-end corridor.
Excellent point, Beryl. However, the answer remains the same: home school!
I’m thinking if corporations can create charter schools, so can groups of parents.
All the Amish and Mennonite communities do it !!!
One huge problem with home schooling folks.
The average set of parents are unable to do it.
Why? Because they have been made stupid by the previous generation of schools.
Charter schools sound great, produce good results, right?
No wonder, they segregate out the kids that cannot keep up and send them where? Public schools.
If that ability was removed, charter schools would decline back to the level of public schools.
The real answer is to improve public schools, segregate the kids with problems and do remedial work with them, no more mainstreaming 5% of the kids to the detriment of the vast majority.
That means, get the Deep State out of the classroom. Get the parents back in, tighten down on teacher qualifications, run the schools from the district level with financing from the states. Fire 2/3 of the administrators in place right now. Fire 2/3 of the school psychologists, they won’t be needed. Bring in legitimate learn English as a second language classes before kids are put into school. It is hard enough for kids to absorb what they must without nor understanding what the teacher is saying.
You’re in America, speak English, or go back where you came from.
Amish and Mennonite are ultimate homogeneous groups. Place a few southern border kids in their system and see how they do.
Hey JAZ,
Don’t be too sure the average parents can’t home school. They just don’t know anything about it.
Peggy Hall at thehealthyamerican.org is teaching seminars and has a whole video series on how doable it is to homeschool. I think what sets parents back is thinking they need a whole school day, 6-8 hours, to school when really all you need is 2-4 hours tops.
Most people can handle that. Also, when they no longer have to shuffle kids about all over town, they will probably get a lot of hours back that they are needlessly expending currently. Also, a lot more parents can work online now, which also saves hours every day.
It can really work for people if they just educate themselves about it.
I wonder how they would do John ???
I worked with a bunch of “south of the border folks”, right until a week ago…..
Big Farm, 1800 acres corn, 1100 acres of grass (x’ 4 times this year) 300 acres Triticali, well over 3200 cows milking on 2 farms.
Nicest Bunch of guys you’d ever meet till….. You Fuq them…
Boss made promises, backed out, half the barn crew went elsewhere….
I actually could see them educating their own, like the amish…
Those fellas were some good people……..
Always calling me ” that Crazy Ass Gringo”,
respect to them all
A huge amount of learning takes place in families before a child ever enters school. A doting grandma sure helps the children get a jump on reading, numbers, general receptivity to learing, music, etc.
The premise of the Head Start program was that poor chidren didn’t get this early head start that middle-class children got.
Not to belabor a point, I think most parents are fully capable of schooling their children, certainly through elementary school.
There are masses of materials now to help them structure the time and lesson content.
I had a neighbor who home-schooled six children. Her husband was in the Army. Their family was very musical (the dad was Irish and played popular music on the piano). Most of their kids were AHEAD of the regularly schooled kids. Their daughter got a music scholarship to the U of Michigan.
The biggie is freeing up one parent to concentrate on the home schooling. It is not reasonable to expect a parent to concentrate on both work and home-schooling the children.
Indeed. But watch out for private schools. The ones I’m involved with are almost worse than the public schools for PC and Woke. They need their accreditation!
@ JohnAZ:
Most if not all public education is so bad that most kids would be far better off if they never went to school at all. (I say this as a former teacher.)
I also think that most parents (with the probable exception of black parents) are well able to home-school their kids. I think the vast majority could do it, especially with the kind of community support I described above.
There would always be some percentage of parents who would be unable to home-school, of course. There are parents who are alcoholics or drug-addicted, or whose homes are very disordered for other reasons, such as mental illness or disabilities involving the heavy use of opiates. (I have personally known some cases like this.) This is a fairly small group, and I think the community could find ways to help them.
I also think that Hispanic communities would step up to the plate–perhaps even sooner than white communities. And you can bet the Asian community would.
There are special problems with the black community–the chief of which is that about 50% of blacks are ineducable (and hence derive no benefit from public education to begin with). But black schools are so horrendously bad that I can say unequivocally that ALL black kids would be FAR better off with no public schooling at all. I think even the black community would figure something out to educate that percentage of black kids who are educable.
Great point.
Mary: Glad you mentioned Peggy Hall. She and her pastor husband are two of my personal heroes during this madness. So full of great advice and uplift. Amazing woman! As for newbies and homeschooling: I think with school lockdowns forcing a lot of ordinary parents to try HS by default probably surprised a lot of them at how feasible it is. School lockdowns have been the greatest filip to HS in decades. Another massive deep state cock-up!
YES Peggy & Hubs are doing amazing work. They are tireless. If any headway is made in CA I truly give them most of the credit. She has crushed local boards trying to pass tyrannical orders, etc. She put them on notice.
I had mad respect for them.

Cold cold ashes on the ground
Nothing lost and nothing’s found
Friends and loved ones falling down
Can’t you hear that mournful sound?
Nothing left but memories
Of things I still can’t stand to see
There’s an empty spot in me
Where my hometown used to be
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long ’til it goes down
We’ve had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
Neighborhoods left to decay
People died or walked away
Nowhere left for them to stay
While we just look the other way
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long ’til it goes down
Had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
Waves keep pounding through the night
Lost without a ray of light
Going down without a fight
Is there still time to make it right?
This old boat is taking water
It won’t be long ’til it goes down
Had enough to push us over
Time to turn the wheel around
theres a bunch of them young up and coming !!!!
Eastern Kentucky and West Virgina seems to be spawning them en-mass
We can only hope
Until the country, en masse, realizes that the death of the flyover country and the growth of the cities will be the demise of the country, we will continue our descent.

Another incredible essay, Jim!
I loved the metaphor comparing the cult of Joe Biden to those ceremonies performed, for example, by Peruvians with the Inti Raymi Festival where the descendants of the Incas parade around with mummies of past noble families to honor the dead once a year.
A jarring yet totally apt metaphor.
You’ve outdone yourself, James! What a fantastic article today. Just about covers the Wokie breakdown in progress.
Even Obama got in on the Loudon county act, on the wrong side of things, of course, being that he’s probably one of the Jo Jo Maghoul puppet string operators.
“Susan Rice, shadowy Director of the Domestic Policy Council, floated an initiative to give half-a-million dollars to each family member of children and parents who had gotten separated while attempting to enter the US illegally. ” I hadn’t heard of this, but I’m sure it will be met with wide approval from the Covid Death Cult Wokies who also believe in open borders (you know, ‘diversity’) and free trans operations, reparations for descendants of slaves, and that the unvaxxed should be put in camps or killed. It would seem that the more absurd and grotesque the administration gets, the more the Wokies cheer in support. That they are openly supporting the rape of 2 high school girls should tell you all you need to know about them.
I am very happy that “Let’s Go, Brandon” organically grew popular among the youth of the country – what a relief. Some obviously have escaped the programming.
Agree that half the country is fed up with this utter bullshit. I am pretty sure they are engineering a civil war, to distract from the coming economic global collapse.
Great points, Mary. As for civil war, I think it’s been brewing for decades, and the latest insanities are just the final touches. And an economic collapse would lead to a civil war anyway, as Red States go their own way. I’m not sure the globalists are still in control of events. Fun guaranteed whatever happens!
Yes, they definitely created utter chaos, didn’t they? Now they sit back and watch the insanity.
I think they will sneak off to their private islands or billionaire bunkers when the chaos gets going in earnest.
That will be the time to shut the borders!
“I think …”
Hahaha. Is that what you call that?
Lighten up, OG. Mary’s thoughts are just as important as yours.
OG, you have become a nuisance. You shouldn’t be on here. If this was my blog I’d be giving you a warning.
Slugoon: Ditto.
OG has problems he should not bring here.
Slugoon, strongly agree, but I think OG was making a joke.
Wait, Mary. Give it a chance for a short while. Does the reaction in Virginia mean that the regular folks are catching on to what the Ult Left is up to? Will the repugnant deeds of the Wokesters finally wake up the decent folks? Are there enough left?
By Dec. 2022, we shall see. Watch Virginia, it’s ramifications against the Ult-Left may be enormous in DC.
All the elections are rigged and have been for a long time.
I would bet you money that McAuliffe will be installed.
I do hope that the transagenda bullshit blows up soon. They certainly are becoming desperate. However, you have to realize that it is deeply institutionalized globally now. I mean DEEPLY entrenched. It will take a lot to undo all of that.
If we were in haling distance, I would definitely wager you a beer.
I think the Biden cabal wants to kick-off Civil War 2 while they hold power so they can go full Abe Lincoln on the Right.
We should refuse to oblige them until we wrest control of the government back, assuming we can do so.
Texas shows the way. Gov. Abbott was on Tucker last night outlining the latest ways that Texas is engaged in active sovereign state resistance against the open borders lawlessness perpetrated by the Biden Regime.
Like the Spartans at Thermopylae, Texas is standing in the breach, holding back the invasion, buying time, in the tradition of the Alamo.
It’s time for the other Red States to step up and help Texas secure the border and resist Biden and Co. until we can take back Congress and the WH and bring the curtain down on this attempt by the Wokesters to stage a coup de etat against the historic American nation.
God bless Texas. If he doesn’t back down, the Presidency will be his for the taking – of the New America if not the old. Or at least the Republic of Texas.
The Dominion Machines are the Daleks….
Not just Biden and co., but the entire Deep State. Liz Cheney and her allies are twice as dangerous as a moderate Democrat.
Wizard-
That may be what they want, but it won’t play out the way they think. No one in the current regime has the stature of a Lincoln.
Same goes for their planned chaos. They may get it, but I doubt they will come anywhere close to building back with their ideal techno-tyrannical state.
Since George Soros came to Austin and gave $500k to defeat a proposition that strengthened the police there have been several false flags. One is an “attack” on a synagogue and the other that I know of, is a group of men dressed as Nazis doing fist-bumps with police. My guess is all of them were actors.
I hope inspite of the onslaught of Californians and Soros money, these people will be held at bay. But a loop hole was found in the new law to prohibit CRT that’s being exploited.
“Just try to remember the concepts of [House Bill] 3979,” Gina Peddy, a Carroll administrator, was heard saying in the recording obtained by NBC News. “And make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.”
Well, as usual, I have a slightly different take on events.
Again, let’s put significant resource constraints front and center. In a straight up competitive scenario, who would prevail? Woke or normals?
So, contrary to what a poster claimed that no one goes to war thinking they will lose, the woke were facing a similar peril as the Japanese when Roosevelt cut off oil exports.
Hence, the woke were forced into a risky move, much like Pearl, because they really had no alternative. To just sit and let events play out lead to a certain conclusion. So why not roll the dice?
OK, so now that we have a proper war time context, what are the weapons of choice? Normals have traditional arms, whereas woke leadership are initially using 5th generation psyops.
They probably don’t intrinsically care about woke issues more than anyone else; it just provides the mechanism to confuse and confound their enemies.
We can observe their stress points by noting some of their most recent mistakes. Garlands claim of dom ter should help clarify the true state of affairs.
That was stupid, because by now openly declaring their objectives, they move a certain % past the denial or negiotation/anger stage.
Who wants a resigned, don’t give no fucks anymore opposition?
Interesting take. The 5th generation psyops are hard to control and they’re piling up in a way that is hard to for Normies to not see.
Woke is nihilistic so it will follow that they will turn against each other to destruction. See the current Congress for example.
I think this is a very accurate assessment. The Wokies don’t really have a chance when even from-way-back left-liberals like me are throwing their “Team Blue” t-shirts into the nearest convenient burn-barrel while shaking our heads in utter disgust.
If you were formerly Team Blue, but can no longer stomach the Wokester Bolshevism, you have a lot of countrymen over on the Team Red side here who are always willing to welcome back wayward countrymen who’ve seen the light.
We don’t all have to agree on every little political issue. But we do all have to agree that America, as we used to know it, is worth preserving, and so is freedom and constitutional rule of law, where elections are reasonably honest and every citizen can speak his or her mind without fear of being “cancelled” but the Woke Bolsheviks.
If you are good with this, then cross on over, friend.
The wokies are being used by the globalists like Mao used the Red Guard against his opponents. They will be “defunded” when no longer needed. Most will forget they ever promoted such brain dead ideas.
The problem with Woke is the problem with all leftist ideology: it cannot defeat Reality.
Yes: “Who wants a resigned, don’t give no fucks anymore opposition?”
That’s the worst thing they could do, and yet, they are doing it.
D from OR is correct, woke is nihilistic.
Garland was weeping about the Holocaust again the other day. He obviously sees Red Americans as the Germans and wants to do something about that.
“They probably don’t intrinsically care about woke issues more than anyone else;”
I wish t his were true. But they are true believers.
I can’t tell how terrifying—but also funny—I find comment threads at my home paper when an idea is introduced that doesn’t match what they consider allowable.
On a more amusing note, how long will it take idiot corporate recruiters to realize that all the new engineers hitting the market are the ones who won’t take the jab.

Just read the open letter to the special forces of these United States military. Seems as if the veterans and retired and not so retired leos are truly getting fed up with the fed..lock and load, baby. TIC TOK, time is running out.
Unlike Q, I don’t think the military is in control. However, if history is anything judge by, there must be a sizeable chunk of the real warriors looking at each other and saying, “Is this shit for real?” Consequences to follow.
Maybe the US military is not in control of the USA Right now … but it could be whenever it so chooses.
I don’t know if that would help. In the highest ranks real men have been replaced by General Milley types.

Good North American morning from so-called Nova Scotia, Canada, Jim (HK) and company…
I just finished downloading, from the ‘classic’ Pirate Bay, the entire collection of Midnight Oil (MO) which I mostly missed, given my preoccupation with other stuff back then…
Now, MO’s lead singer, Peter Garrett, ‘got into (State) politics’, despite the spirit of much of MO’s work, and which Garrett has been chastised about. Of course, in any art and life and the universe in general, there is irony and paradox. It’s probably the same as Jim (HK) saying he voted Democrat and still has their card.
So that’s kind of my point I guess. Oh, also, I just found out that David Holmgren of permaculture fame is apparently Jewish. He’s also an anarchist– self-described.
So am I. Not Jewish– although I could become Jewish, FWIW– but anarchist.
Anarchists believe in government, believe it or not, just not the coercive kind, which is illegitimate, but the non-coercive, opt-in/opt-out-leave-us-alone-until/unless-we-want-you kind. It’s about consent.
Non-consensual sex is rape, yes?
So is the morality behind non-consensual government.
So, Jim, let’s not just fuck Biden. but let’s fuck (and not in a good way) non-consensual government. You are not too old to figure this out, if you haven’t already.
This applies to schooling too. All kids learn differently too. Many learn by being outside under the sky and in the sun and nature, rather than within a walled institution with a prescribed curriculum.

Boxing Champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. wrote this to his friend Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets who refuses to get vaxxed because apparently he’s been reading too much conspiracy theory stuff on the internet as his accusers like to say.
“America is the land of the free. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and supposedly, freedom to choose. Never be controlled by money. I respect you for having some integrity and being your own man. A free mind makes his own choices and an enslaved mind follows the crowd. Stand for something or fall for anything. One man can lead a revolution to stand up and fight for what’s right. One choice, one word, one action can change the world. It’s crazy how people hate you for being a leader. I hope your actions encourage many others to stand up and say ‘enough is enough.”
Amen to the above Floyd Mayweather !
Rodster: Wow, great words from FM! I have to admit, I didn’t have much time for him in the past. He seems like a typical money-grubbing celeb. Nice to be wrong. The more Nicky Minaj’s and FM who speak out, the more the message gets around.
Excellent note to Kyrie by Floyd!
What does it matter? You have decried both Floyd and Kyrie to be “Death!”
Yes, if she was prominent in an organization, you’d never know when her opinion or policy was based on the facts as such, or the result of her secret hatred.
But if she was in HR, it might well be more obvious: you’d see a vast increase in the number of women hired and men fired.
This is just bizarre.
I’ve seen this from 2 sources. It would explain why the pope decided to turn off the cameras.
https://beckernews.com/biden-meets-the-pope-and-utters-one-of-the-most-embarrassing-lines-ever-said-by-a-president-42781/
Mary: Good link. Maybe he asked Bergoglio a terrible, hurtful question like “Do you believe in God?” Seriously, I think they canned it because Bergoglio is an arch-globalist and he realized that Biden, as point man for the Great Reset, was about to say something that would make them all look like insane fools. Which, of course, they are!
Knowing Joe, he probably asked the Pope if he s–ts in the woods.
Or, Where the orgies at?
I was looking at an article about Florida’s surgeon general, and I was thinking how odd it was, a public health official who was obviously exremely fit and healthy, mentally and physically.
Say we did believe all the propaganda about the virus to end all viruses.
How then, could you explain the choices for those who would handle the response?
Adams, that pick makes sense in that you could hardly leave out the Surgeon General, because most of the public knows what that is.
The other choices though, you had Beelzebub heading the thing, and Bride of Frankenstein, and then there was Pence with his original Ken doll hairdo, except with a fly on top.
Really? that crew was the best theUnited States of America could put forward in a crisis? They didn’t even look competent, because they weren’t. Birx and Fauci had backgrounds of failure, and death and cruelty.
Whose idea was it to put them there, and keep them there?
Whose idea was it to put Biden in the WH? People who wanted an easy to control puppet who would never question their evil plans. Same with the top medics.
That’s interesting, because when Fauci and Birx first showed up they were mouthing the usual blather about washing your hands and so forth, and they didn’t start with the voodoo nuttery until a while in.
Somebody was giving them new pages of a script.
Obomba & co. are still running the show.
Link?
As in Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp
They were there! They were the heads of organizations that had been fighting viruses for a long time.
Remember Trump assigned Pence to head up the Covid team and these two were placed at that time. The politicization of Fauci started then. By the time Trump was ousted, he was the main man and fit right in with the Fed control all of the new regime. Then the really dark sides of his connection with China and the bio weapon research that he was doing came to light. Too late, he was a fully fledged Biden team member by then.
“But his excellency Pope Francis ordered the TV cameras turned off, apparently unwilling to be seen consorting with the inanimate, disintegrating graven image of a US president — anymore than he would want to be caught conversing with a statue of the Medici Pope Leo X in his Vatican garden.”
I thought this was quite rich. Conjuring up the image of Leo X, who raped the Vatican treasury, installed his cronies at excellent wages for substandard performance, tried to sell the masses on the idea of purchasing a place in the afterlife (to replenish the depleted coffers), and incensed Martin Luther to the point of initiating a Reformation is so apropos to the goings-on of today.
Agree, I caught that, too, very well written.
Penelope caught that. Of course she did.

FFS, give it a rest!
TBH, this explanation makes little sense to me.
Pope Francis is very much on board with the WEF agenda, and has made many public statements in that direction.
Cardinal Vigano called him out on it several times, including quite recently.
IMO, he doesn’t want to be seen consorting with Biden, because many are starting to figure out that his mission rather seems to be very much in line with what Biden is doing.
Well, well. It also appears the two got plenty of CNN camera time together.

Francis is the Pius XII of our times.
Aren’t all of the popes just evil mob bosses? I would venture to say ‘yes’.
Whatever the reality of it, it does appear that POTATUS made an ass of himself in public yet again.
I also agree that the pope is 100% on board with the WEF agenda, same as Jo Jo McGhoul.
That would follow logically since all the Popes are men, and you said, Men are death.
Don’t forget the Liberation Theology Argentine is also the Don, the tutto di tutti capi, of the homosexual mafia back home.

Stop lying, it’s not becoming, and can tarnish your reputation.

During the Obama years, I walked into the breakroom to find two men discussing stockpiling ammunition “before the Blue Helmets are deployed in the US”.
Back then, I was the resident leftie, so when they saw me one of them turned and left out the back door.
I sneered at the other one and said “You militia types don’t impress me. They’re going to frack here and ruin the water supplies and you don’t do a thing about it.”
He told me “I don’t disagree with you, Paula, but that’s a slow death. We’re getting ready for CW2”
I asked what that was because I had never heard of it, and he told me “Civil War 2”.
So they’ve been getting ready for a long time.

Yes, indeed, and when I used to make the blog rounds back in 2005-2009, there were many ‘preppers’ whose blogs I liked. That’s the first place I started to see that things were indeed breaking down. I probably should have followed them even more closely. They were already making moves to live off grid, etc.
What? You are not perfect, Proud Mary?
Paula,
Speaking a one who has been hard Right for over 40 years, I can confirm that the patriot Right has been prepping for a Second Civil War in this country since about the mid-1990’s. The violent excesses of Bill Clinton and Janet Reno at Ruby Ridge and Waco in 1993 kicked off the concerns of many. The Open Borders B.S. also drove it. Now, after enduring 8 years of Obama’s nonsense and now the Wokester coup being led by the Biden Regime, just about everyone on the Right sees what is coming and has been prepping for it for YEARS.
Does it mean we want such a conflict? For some yes, for many, no. But most all agree that it is almost inevitable now that it is coming. Some are relieved and look at the coming conflict as a time for settling scores and righting the ship. Others dread it, but intend to prevail.
For most all of us, failure is not an option. In a conflict where our Liberties are at stake, this is the hill we will defend to the death. Not because we are Rambos, but because free men and women cannot imagine living as slaves.
And yet, I can see that presently, conservatives that I know are way more tolerant of other opinions – even lefties – than the woke so-called ‘left’ is.
I think conservatives have a better grasp too on the fact that this is a top-down war currently, where it’s the PTB against the rest of us. It’s unfortunate that we can’t all band together against the PTB, because then we’d be successful. Instead, we want to go to war with other citizens who have no more power than we do. What good will that serve?
I think the conservatives Achilles’ heel is corporate worship. They are right to criticize big government, but slow to realize that corporations call the shots in our government.
The PTB will be sitting back laughing and drinking martinis together.
Mary,
You are correct…..up to a point. RINO’s and neocons worship corporate America. They are traitors and fools.
The American Nationalist, or Patriot Right utterly detests corporate America and sees them for the greedy, woke, sellouts that they are.
Interesting. I didn’t know there were people on the right in large numbers who also detest corporate America. Thanks for informing me.
@Paula
Back in the days when I still held out hope for finding “like minded” souls [“it takes a tribe”], I was making occasional contacts with folks preparing for a possible less-than-industrial future.
The landscape held no shortage of militia types – Idaho panhandle was particularly well stocked. What a bunch of bozos with itchy trigger fingers. I found no indication that salt or heirloom seeds or a viable breeding population had ever entered their minds. Buying one more day of existence by killing one’s neighbor with no hope for the species always seemed a little STUPID to me.
I could be wrong.
~toktomi~
My lawn guy is an active member of an Idaho militia, and he is also a major gardener and hunter. So, he’s not ignorant at all of what it takes to survive. The network I’m connected to also here is made up of preppers, ham radio experts, and they are huge on natural nutrition/healing/herbs. They shun allopathic medicine. In short, they are on the right track.
Mary: in short, you friends are doing all the things that I would have called crazy and laughed at even two years ago. How times change!
Right? I never thought prepping was crazy, although I used to find it somewhat eccentric.
Not any more!
@MaryQueen
This prepping, survivalist, doomer thing is sooooo much bigger than anyone [that includes this old doomer of some 21 years] can imagine.
In my vernacular, the 4 P’s:
Psychology [all things brain related; fear, skills, hopefulness or despair, relationships, etc]
Place
People [it takes a tribe]
Possessions [step down, step down]
And in the end, “what’s the point?” What purpose will be served in surviving longer term?
I’ve run into a fair number of survivalist types over the years – mostly idiots to my way of thinking with the militia types being at the top of my idiots list. Oh, and that “Doomsday Preppers” thing was pure colossal silliness.
…or so it seems to me.
~toktomi~
A lot of people in my area are preppers, but they make no show of it. They garden and do a lot of canning and so have pantries full of home-canned goods. They raise livestock and hunt, and their freezers are full of meat. They all have firearms, though we have never discussed what kind. Several of my women friends are pretty well versed in herbs and natural medicines.
There is no focus on CWII, secession, or revolution–though the subject has come up from time to time. I was talking about this with one of my lady friends a few years ago when we met for lunch. She said that it would be critical for any secessionist group to immediately take control of the state’s military bases and munitions plants and preferably also militarized police hardware. (Took the words out of my mouth.) I pointed out that the personnel on military bases are not allowed to carry arms. I’ve never had a similar conversation before or since, but I’m sure everyone has thought about this stuff in some depth. It’s sort of taken for granted.
My view is that the main focus should be on building strong communities and strong local economies–basically buiding social and economic structures that can survive and thrive. Defense is an important aspect of this, but not the whole enchilada.
Itchy trigger fingers? I don’t think so, or they would have went after the frackers.
I’m pretty sure they weren’t planning on going after their neighbors.
But I could be wrong.
And the guy that told me about CW2 has 9 kids, so……
Yes, guns alone are not sufficient preps for hard times, though they are good preps for chaotic times with no rule of law functioning. Some people of evil mindset think guns and ammo are all they will need because they intend to be raisers and marauders – taking what they need from the weak.
IMHO those types will last maybe 6 months after TSHF. They will eventually be exterminated by well-armed and more morally based preppers who do not subscribe to the idea that a Mad Max future is the desireable outcome. Ethical preppers on the right will be keen to see civil society and constitutionally based rule of law restored as rapidly as possible, but with new safeguards against tyranny erected as well.
Typo correction: “Raiders and marauders”
Yeah, I had another co-worker tell me that he and his brother were not hoarding food, only ammo, for the reason that you state.
I was horrified and he backtracked a little, but…..
@wizard
The trick for anyone intending to survive longer term is to be able to locate [sooner is better than later] far enough afield of all potentially hostile humans [which includes nearly all humans] as to be able to avoid detection.
A grid down marauder will necessarily need to select his targets judiciously. Any long distance target on an average must yield fuel equal to or greater than that required to get there.
As an aside, I call the N. Idaho area a free fire zone. I trust that all those militia types will be doing each other.
~toktomi~
There’s suchh a thing as over-preparedness. All that really matters is being ready at the precise moment. Jumping the gun too much can be wasted energy, resources
Very true, esp. given all that shit you stockpile can be taken away from you by one asshole with a gun, if you don’t see him coming.
So you’re admitting you were wrong, Paula?
About what? Being a leftie?
They changed, I didn’t.
Yup. The same people who marched with us against the illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are now in love with the deep state neocons they hated 20 years ago. They are in full support of the corporate totalitarian control that they protested against during OWS.
The left left us not the other way ’round.
Ooh, nicely put, ladies.
Janos, I came here for you, and you shame me.
Where is your welcome for these sisters?
You have strong guns, pointed in the wrong direction. All hands are needed, we must muster the army we have, not the one we want.
Oh, and Alba- none defended her, yet her resolute level-headedness proved her mettle. A prize beyond measure, spurned by the small.
I didn’t speak, and wish I had. I’m trying to keep grey and silent, yet know, all, that you are watched, and treasured, and that we are none of us alone.
Al: Feminism is a Marxism. Their allegiance is not to their brothers, their nation, or their civilization. It’s to other women, irrespective of borders. They feel more for women in other countries than for men here. In other words – it’s Globalism.
Shame you? When? Where you hear under another name? It’s a shame if you can’t learn what I just gave you. And now that you’ve been given it, I expect you to know it.
I don’t subscribe to the idea of taunting those whose thinking evolves, as Jarek just did. If a person eventually comes to understand that the Left is not a source of solutions, just a source of socialist misery, then they should be encouraged to continue on their journey of discovery and enlightenment.
Life is a journey. Most folks have to live most of that journey before true wisdom starts to gel in their minds.
Life evolves through conflict. In the mental realm, that means debate. Men trained by women want to be mommy’s little helpers or White Knights riding into defend the princesses. Meanwhile I treat them as equals (at least potentially. Almost all have failed to rise. SSL is the magnificent exception – no doubt largely due to her traditional Southern upbringing). So who is kinder and more respectful? Those who pander or I, Jarek?
I was in a certain South American country this week. (Pardon my habit of being vague, I try to share observations here without getting publicly identified and targeted).
I visit that country often and have noticed that MORE people wear masks outside than did a year ago or even six months ago.
Masks while walking alone in the street.
Masks while driving alone in their own cars – I would estimate at least 10% of all drivers are doing this!
A couple walking down a quiet street holding hands wearing masks.
To my eyes, about 80% (!) of people are wearing masks outside in the rich and middle class areas. The amount is less though harder to give a percentage in poorer areas (I drive more than walk by those areas). At best: a man wearing a surgical mask while he rode his horse on a quiet dirt road.
I recently walked a dog in the city around midnight with scarcely a soul on the street. A worker heading to his bus stop yelled at me from across the street in what roughly translates as: “You rich white people! Wear your mask! You’ll kill us all! Fuck you!”
So many people have been conditioned to do something so irrational.
The brainwashing and conditioning is everywhere.
Sadism & corruption has completely taken over civility, self-reflection and taking responsibility for one’s damaging words.
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Men are not “Death” and turkeys are not probably smarter than people.
We all know that.
Can you raise an entire family without needing a dime?
Turkeys can.
Case closed.
LOL.
Ha! She’s doubling down!
Proud Mary puts forth “evidence” that turkeys Really are smarter than people because turkeys don’t use money!
Case closed, indeed.
“Turkeys can.
Case closed.”
Haha! I worked insulating birdhouses. I pulled a sprayer scaffold across a solid floor of bird manure like a retarded Conan in reverse. Tiny beetles, that we called “shitbugs”, by the millions.
Shitbugs were streaming up and down a barn column, but one was off by himself, contemplating the Universe.
My lead man slapped that lone bug flat.
I cried, ” You fool! Do you know what you’ve done!?”
“Whaa…?” was the look from the confounded crew.
“He was the Einstein of the shitbugs!”, I yelled.
“He was going to revolutionize shitbug society!!”
“Turkeys can.”
Turkeys can’t even breed anymore, without the aid of humans. and I’m sure their food is monoculture Big Ag GMO gasohol sh!
But sure, “you can keep the dime.” (Croce)
@Zypdick
no you are completely wrong.
There are long-ago escaped domestic turkeys living in free flocks in many cities, notably Berkeley, CA and Ashland, OR.
It’s common to see the Toms directing traffic for the flock and making sure his family is safe.
Alzaebo. Now that’s some funny sht right there.
@MaryQueen
No less so hereabouts, I would offer.
Let us rejoice in and focus only on issues of:
gender
race & ethnicity
politics
vaccinations
religion
personal anecdotes
public personalities & celebrities
Perhaps, the picture will become a bit clearer with the global stench of rotting human bodies.
~toktomi~
“Men are Death.”
– Proud Mary keeps on burnin’
Not sure what your point is of this comment.
Pulling pigtails, I guess, but it’s a truth:
Women are Life, Men are Death.
OG, in every birdhouse, each flock will pick one turkey, one only, and all the other birds will peck that one to death. Is that what you’re doing? Pecking?
Oh. OK, or I guess it was just some brand of sarcasm that I don’t quite get.
Thanks, Alzaebo, for your input on what I said.
It’s very strange; the same men up here who are always talking tough about killing others, being pro-war, etc. get offended when someone points it out.
So silly really!
Looks like turkeys have better odds than we do re the ‘peck’.
@Alzaebo, You might call it that. I am owed 2 aplogies and I am trying to collect.
Interesting side note:
“Turkeys are probably smarter than people.”
– Proud Mary
it wasnt argentina.
I was on my bike at an intersection waiting (not that I always do) for the red light to turn green, and a couple of people wearing masks (alas, not the Halloween, Phantom of the Opera, costume party, superhero or Guy Falks kind) were walking across in front of me…
I told them politely that they didn’t need to wear a mask outside (Personally, I don’t do so inside either, but I digress…).
Once I said that, to some surprise, a couple of young women (without masks) walking immediately behind them suddenly clapped and cheered what I said. They also said something I didn’t precisely catch about it being similar about the vax.
So there may be more consensus than we may realize, just that many may be fearful/intimidated about expressing it. And in this sociopolitical climate, can we really blame them? So it can help and be insightful to attempt to break the ice.
I’ve lost track of all the reasons I’ve both thought of and encountered why it’s ok not to wear a mask or get jabbed with a so-called vaccine for this virus.
But at this point, it doesn’t appear exactly about any of that anyway, but, rather, more about an opportunity to break/brake and distract from the global-industrial crony-capitalist plutarchy pseudoeconomy and its ongoing war– as any anarchist understands– against the resident populations, approaching its climax.
Live by the lie; die by the lie.
Live by the projections on the cave wall; die by the projections on the cave wall.
Nobody is going to die because they wear a mask when they don’t have to. I’ve gone through the whole pandemic without bothering to try and educate anyone walking on the sidewalk wearing a mask. Seriously…. these are one and all, personal decisions. You have no insight here on what these peoples’ reasons for wearing in public were. You are a jackass. A jackass without momentum. Not vaxxed either? Well then I’m going to predict you ending up in a ventilator in the next couple years. I have a pretty high batting average on predictions- check the record. I’m putting my rep on the line here.
You will suffer from Covid and/or a rear-end experience before the next election cycle. I want to read all about your adventures as you type out your reports from the real world using the eye-blink interface for quadriplegics. It will interesting to hear all about your adventures in Intensive Care.
People who wear masks are idiots, and muzzling themselves to please their slave masters.
I’m not surprised that you wear them.
I’ve heard of cases where the Vax breaks down the higher cognitive brain functions, making a person emotional, angry, irrational, and near the end – utterly ludicrous. I hope snack cakes let’s us know if he begins to exhibit the symptoms. LOL
I’ll rush over with a ventilator post haste. I’ll bet he doesn’t know the track record on those devices.
Hahaha, yes, Snack might need a ventilator. I am guessing that prions snacking on ones’ brains can’t feel that great.
Thanks for illustrating the vile hatefulness of the liberal pack.
Zxhir’s tandrums today seem to be in direct response to JHK’s most excellent post. Wokies don’t like their shit thrown back in their faces. They are used to being rewarded for their nastiness.

What’s an Apocalypse movie without rage zombies? This is gonna be so cool.
True, rage zombies can be entertaining. I mean, people pay to see them (in movies), so as a reality show it ought to be quite something.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure:
Move coercive governments (and, for examples, their gain-of-function virus research and the great and infernal truthiness of their C19 agitprop) off-planet.
Already did. Those spaghetti arms come from zero-G, the pan-sterility from unshielded radiation.
Jesus Fucking Christ, Lil Debbie, you don’t agree with how Zazelle handled a situation so you wish him to die? Fuck off. Try reading about all the deadly germs the UofFlorida found in kid’s masks that their parents had analyzed by their lab and you will see that it is YOUR opinion that is totally without merit. The vast majority of face diapers (especially the “use once” kind that people use for months!), are as effective at stopping a virus as underpants are at stopping farts. But hey, I don’t wish you to die or predict that YOU will die from covid when your spike proteins kill you. I just wish you to FUCK OFF. If you can’t tolerate other opinions, go somewhere else.
Thank you!
“Isn’t this where … we came in?”
@Lil Deb
I am interested in your “record” for predictions.
Post a link.
Comedy relief is in direly short supply hereabouts these days.
~toktomi~
@ Debbie:
There probably is little point in talking with people who voluntarily wear masks, since they are in a hypnotic trance. They are also retards, and you don’t talk with retards about serious subjects.
On the other hand, if you talk with an employee who is forced to wear a mask because of their job, they will tell you that the masks are bullshit and that all the covid nonsense is just that–nonsense. Nobody believes that shit.
And re your predictions of death and dire disability for the unvaxxed, most indicationas are that the shoe is on the other foot. And there is no need to predict that; the vaxxed dead are piling up apace, and those suffering from life-threatening adverse reactions are impressive in numbers, as well. There is some uncertainty about how the rest of the vaxxed will fare, but all indications are that they are well and truly fucked.
There are definitely a lot of people afraid to deal with the wokie Karens because we’ve been conditioned over decades to not make waves. Most people are afraid of standing out, as well. I was, but got over it and have refused to wear a mask in public anywhere, inside or out. It’s a matter of principle for me.
For one thing, masks are idiotic. They don’t do anything but trap pathogens to rebreathe in and make people sick. For another, they muffle your speech. For another, they are the sign of a willing slave. And that’s what this is all really about.
Notice the ruling class more and more goes about bare-faced and refuse to justify it, while demanding that we mask up.
It should be apparent to people now, the psychological underpinnings of this, but it still is not.
Yes, MaryQueen…
And if some people have a hard time offering reasonable, sound logical, etc., arguments, there are other tacks that they can employ to help, in their minds at least, level the playing field:
FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), personal attacks, lies, distortions and deplatforming/disappearing people, etc..
In short, ‘corruptions’.
But of course corruption is unsustainable because relationships depend on trust and related forms that corruption subverts.

“ERs are now swamped with seriously ill patients — but many don’t even have COVID
October 26, 20215:00 AM ET”
NPR is reporting a story. But of course, being NPR they can’t really bring themselves to report the whole truth, i.e. emergency rooms are being inundated by patients suffering vaccine side effects.
Instead NPR says:
“Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among others.”
Got that? All these people have been putting off going to the emergency room for 18 months with heart attacks, strokes, and blot clot problems. They didn’t want to clog things up for the Covid patients.
The article even admits Covid clogged emergency rooms were a lie and a myth back then.
“It’s a stark contrast to where this emergency department — and thousands others — were at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Except for initial hot spots like New York City, many ERs across the U.S. were often eerily empty in the spring of 2020.”
The article admits there are staffing shortages. but says that’s because nurses are emotionally worn out and quitting in tears; not that vaccine mandates have thinned their ranks.
I swear, it’s like reading Pravda in the old days. You have to read between the lines, weeding out the bullshit and implausible explanations.
But at least a little truth is seeping through, for those who know what to look for.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/10/26/1046432435/ers-are-now-swamped-with-seriously-ill-patients-but-most-dont-even-have-covid?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Whatever dude. You don’t shit from shineola.
America has morbidity? Gosh, who knew?
Did you actually look at the referenced article, Snack Cake?
Emergency rooms are overflowing now, and you say “aint no big deal”
18 months ago the emergency rooms were empty and you (or people like you) claimed we had a giant pandemic going on, because Lester Holt said so. Never mind what you see.
Looks like you are the one who doesn’t know shit from shinola. It must come from reading that NY Times propaganda rag.
Well said.
People are dropping dead from the quacksines. Pretty obvious to anyone with a functioning brain.
Quacksines! Love it.
Less than .07%.
At this level no one cares in the government.
After some real data input, I agree that heart, clotting problems are coming from reactions to over active immune systems in susceptible folks. Just not enough to trigger sympathy from the PTB.
I’m sure a “reliable” government or medical establishment organization provided that .07% number. Trouble is, I don’t trust any of them. If they told me cow farts stink, I’d press my nose up a cow’s ass to make sure.
With less than 1% reported.
I think many of us have said many many times up here. I have been looking at 1000s and 1000s of incidents of injury and death since December.
Most of them do not end up reported in VAERS. Some doctors don’t know VAERS exists. It also requires a very rigorous procedure to get incidents reported, and many people have reported giving up.
Wouldn’t you think that an experiment this size should have a central reporting system? There’s a reason there isn’t one.
I was watching someone (can’t remember who) showing that in the Pfizer application for the EUA they said that the follow-up would be VAERS, which is actually a central reporting system.
So they say that VAERS is the main record, then they make it difficult and time-consuming to use it, get the hospital administrators to discourage it, and then tell the stupid and gullible that “Don’t look at VAERS, anyone can go in there and make up reports, so it’s unreliable”.
And then the shitlibs tell you “You can’t believe VAERS reports. Anyone can go in there and make things up” and from that they conclude that no one has died from the vax, which is what they will tell you.
Too Stupid To Live, but convinced that you should also submit.

As long as Commisar Walensky receives her commendation- potato production in the People’s Autonomous Farm Region #267 is up 23%!
Lol al, u shld come here more often.
That’s right HMULLER. Many of these new hospitalizations are from BLOOD CLOTS! You know, the ones the “vaccine” (that isn’t really a vaccine) gives you. That’s a major reason why these “clot shots” are risky and why some people weigh that risk as higher than what covid might due to them, given their age and medical circumstances. You know, my body, my choice!
Here in Los Angeles you see “NO ICE” signs affixed to freeway overpasses. I wish people would begin to hang “LETS GO BRANDON” signs

Hey, no chance. The overpasses are the home of the homeless who love the Dems.
The homeless love the Democrats? Are you sure?
They should, the Dems aren’t mandating the vax for the homeless, despite their vulnerability to this terrible, terrible pandemic.
The homeless don’t love political parties.

Your sentence structure leads me to question, “what the fuck are you talking about?”

Tiktok,
You know not of what you speak.
I have tested 154 IQ. I have an Econmics Degree from the University of Regina. I have a Computer Engineering Diploma from the Saskatchewan Institute of Technology. I have 22 years in Equity Research on Bay St. (Canada’s Wall Street).
I am more intelligent that you realize.
Good day.
Now, I’m a stupid, uneducated, man, all I know is desperate failure. I can’t begin to imagine the heights of your achievements or the world you lived in. My gods! You probably even had running water, hot running water, all this time! Imagine, no two buckets as your bath and toilet!
Of course you’ll accrue enemies in this wicked world. Get up, man, get up!
I’ll keep kicking you until you get up, damn you! Your people need you!
Typical academic self-importance, O.G.. “I have “degrees” therefore I am smarter than you.” No, you are just arrogant and lack common sense and street smarts. When the shooting starts, good luck with your fancy diplomas from those indoctrination centers. I’m sure they will save your ass. LOL.
@Alzaebo, all I can say is, anyone who advertises their high IQs but demonstrates the opposite are usually mentally ill or lying.
Who needs to use their degrees or IQ to win an argument?
Dumb mofos, that’s who.
Thanks to all 3 of you for takng my response to Tiktok completely out of contaxt.

Love And War
When I sing about love and war
I don’t really know what I’m saying
I’ve been in love and I’ve seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
I’ve seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
I’ve watched them try to explain it to their kids
And seen a lot of them failing
They tried to tell them and they tried to explain
Why daddy won’t ever come home again.
Daddy won’t ever come home again
I said a lot of things that I can’t take back
But I don’t really know if I want to
There’ve been songs about love
I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
The saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
I’ve been in love and I’ve seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war

@OG
With a tested IQ like that, how did you end up so obliterated in your mental capacities otherwise?
Quite simply, that the privileged extent of your education and your supposed natural intelligence has left you with no inkling of the philosophical and physical impossibility of ever knowing the truth of anything, is all that needs to be said of the robustness of your cognitive abilities.
Aren’t you the one that is forever insisting that your personal faith in fairy tales constitutes some form of universal truth? That, my child, is pure dumb.
Your words speak of your intelligence, not the little gold stars on your chart.
You could really impress me with an original credible story, description, definition of the term, “intelligence”. Hint: I’m really impressed by stories that agree with my stories and so, your story would well be served by incorporating the notion that “innovation is error dependent” and also, that most of what we perceive as brilliance is not intelligence but rather is some perfection of performance of trained responses [like one might see in a border collie].
I could be wrong.
But, never mind, Surely this way over your “intelligent” head. Carry on.

Climate change globalists trying to pare down the population, globalists trying to get power, Democrats trying to consolidate power for the Deep State, China, trying to bring down their population to a normal level while destroying other parts of the world to acquire the superpower status, virus scientists trying to enlarge our understanding of the little buggers, heck maybe Mars advocates trying to build pressure to move to Mars, and so forth.
How did it start? Again it depends on who is talking
The Chinese as a bio weapon let out a trial run in Wuhan to see what I would do. It was a failure as it is not lethal enough.
Three bat guano miners invaded a cave where bats with the crud infected them. Al three died. An investigator from THE Wuhan lab took in samples from these episode. It may have been weaponized? It either was purposely leaked or escaped with personnel contamination.
It got into Wuhan, and did a number on the area, well documented. Old containment techniques that did not work failed.
In the meantime, herein the US, once the news was received, Trump wanted to stop air traffic from China to keep it isolated.
There was Joe Biden, calling Trump every name in the book, putting the Stops on any action until hundreds of thousands of travellers got the crud into the US. These were the days when Iran and Italy were bombarded by Chinese carrying the crud, and then passed it around the world.
IMHO, China started it with negligence, the possibly malevolence. In the US, it was seen early on as a way for the Dems to unseat Trump. It worked! Now it is being used by the globalists and their puppets in the Deep State to socialize the world.
Iran and Italy were bombarded by Chinese tourists? Seriously, dude?
Like I say, I thought it was a bioweapon from the beginning, but ESPECIALLY when Iranian legislators started dying from it.
What is the epidemiology of that? How is it that a bat flu from China managed to wipe out the Iranian parliament a few months later?
Come on, man!
We do know where the Italians got it. Some tourists went to Hawaii and brought it back from there. That went down the Memory Hole because it doesn’t fit in with “Wuhan lab leak”.
And China did contain it, within a couple of months. You’re batting (pun intended) 1000 here with misinformation.
Read it again, no mention of tourists.
I put out the news here, not what I believe.
Believe what you want, your sources are no better than mine.
Just read your post, Mary.
I agree with you, this government is capable of anything.
One question though, what did they spray if a virus does not exist.
Is this an experiment that got out of control because of its virulence or transmissibility? Virulent in older folks that is.
You are putting out propaganda, not news.
” These were the days when Iran and Italy were bombarded by Chinese carrying the crud, and then passed it around the world.”
If not tourists, what were they? Invaders?
JAZ they can spray any kind of poison they want, and when people get sick from it, they call it a pandemic.
Easy, peasy.
Where is the evidence that it is a bioweapon? If it cannot be shown to the public that it even exists, then I don’t see how we can move beyond step one.
If we do so in theory, however, why were the stats spiked with people with 4-5 pre-existing conditions? And about those official stats: there was virtually no excess mortality, and flu disappeared in 2020. Most curious.
So again, where is the evidence? Not attacking, just stating the obvious.
These are also my questions.
What Paula describes reminds me more of them spraying a pathogen in certain places to make it look like a pandemic.
Like they did in San Francisco in 1950. Only they did that for the opposite reason, they thought they’d ‘study’ the outcome, and were doing it on the downlow, not trying to exploit it.
I gave about four or five possibilities above. If this virus does not exist, then three million deaths did not occur. Those must be explained. Another thing that must be explained is why groups of people together “breed” the symptoms of this disease.
Latest personal anecdote I heard was a friend attending a ship reunion of around 60 guys in Colorado Springs. 27 had Covid upon return home.
Something that is communicable is infecting people with something that is beating their immune systems and making them sick. Call it what you may.
Not only that, something else is infecting people that already had the first disease or were vaxxed against it, what ever it is.
Hmm. If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and quacks like a duck
Maybe it is a virus.
NIght Owl, Chris Martenson was all over it last year.
YouTube makes it difficult to search, but this may be helpful

Northern Italy has dozens or more of Chinese sweatshops making counterfeit luxury leather goods. The illegals there brought it back with them from the Chinese New Year’s, and the WEF planners started packing the nursing homes as they did in the U.S.
One of the agendas is to cull the fat, old, and sick, saving those costs for the politicos’ private payoff accounts.
They cancelled New Year’s in 2020.
https://www.dw.com/en/china-cancels-lunar-new-year-events-over-deadly-virus-fears/a-52121516
There are large Chinese communities living in Italy, and they travel back and forth to China all the time, many to Wuhan.
a commenter said ’20 years in China, I never saw dead bats for sale nor did I see people eating bats.
Civet cats. Ferret droppings. Pangolins. Bats in hibernation 900 miles away in frozen January.
The intel services are trolling us with each experimental release.
Oh heck, I forgot Mad Cow, that release from the UK’s Portland Downs biowarfare lab, that all the anti-meat crowd (our overlords, again) supposedly cheered.
How many, many times have they been trying.
Remember the lies, propaganda, the bullshit, the spying of the Atomic Age?
We’re in the Biowar Age now, folks.
Expect the bullshit is to pile high and deep.
maybe Biden should bomb China.
John, that’s a brilliant breakdown. Why not all of the above?
The globesters game the system inserting agents into climate inc., world politics, excepting China who is in the cabal….the deep unholy trinity, state, church, pharma, banksters zuckers, the global gollum.
Stake holders….that’s us. Getchyer silver bullets ready.
What’s the solution?
1- Take back the vote. Hand counted paper ballots.
2- Take back the media. Repeal Clinton’s 1996 Telecommunications Act which allowed for media monopolies. Re-instate the Fairness Doctrine, which required media to present all sides of an issue.
Beyond that, we could stop paying taxes, but Everyone would have to do it all at once. If your employer deducts taxes beforehand, figure out how to nullify that.
And beyond that, we need to revert back to a world made by hand. It’s hard to say no to the dopamine hits, and the comforts provided, but if we don’t do this willingly, it will happen anyway at some point.
Great ideas!
Now how to convince the power brokers to remove the mechanisms that keep them in power.
I still do not understand how 99% of the media became so far Left.
Don’t worry, you don’t want or need to know, but corporate structure- Kapitalism 2.0- is the weapon and means of the old privateer corporations, the East India Companies.
Now, as to the current cavalcade of corporate Wokeness, Larry Fink of Blackrock offered a $7 trillion bailout to the US Treasury during the Mortgage Meltdown. Now, Blackrock is basically the 13th Federal Reserve District.
The social disruption discounts the underlying property that Blackrock/Vanguard can buy up America for pennies.
This is how to achieve a Rollerball world, where 7 Companies own everything. Those ruthless, brilliant devils, they’re going to make the Perfected World of their vision come true.
Can’t help but admire the sweep.
You don’t want to stop paying taxes, Nigel, that’s a no-no for us peasants. However, you can stop putting yourself deeper in debt. Debt is the only thing keeping this abusive economy afloat now. Do nothing taxable, or as little as possible, buy just the minimum amount of stuff you need.
Buy less, fix more.
The stratosphere class economy and the real-world economy have bifurcated into Cloud and Dirt, virtual and daily, renminbi and yuan.
Sovereign debt and consumer debt are two Titanics passing in the night. Still, you ate correct, zero debt has been the attempt and struggle of this tiny equipment based business for 30 years.
Every small business has two words: “Free me”.
Lawsy, this can be such a trap.
Worse is watching the markets from afar.
Good gods I wish I hadn’t listened to older, wiser heads and put my cash into the stocks instead.
Nige! Take it all back…
Vote, media, the fed, language, pharma, education, religion, STATE(s).
COURTS. AGRICULTURE.
& INTERNETZ!
Who owns the media John?
Alz, this aint no ten bagger, this is a 10 ^10 bagger.
And not to worry about your shiny. They won’t let the unvaxed in the company store, and nobody’s gettin outta the market alive.
No jab, no access, to anything, period. Crypto? Get out now boyz. This is not investment advice.
Better get some beans before Sunday.
“Beyond that, we could stop paying taxes, but Everyone would have to do it all at once.”
It would be a lot easier for states to decide retain the funds. Some would, some would not. It would be a start.
It could also be the beginning of a return to the pre-Fed days. The country did rather well without a central bank for most of the 19th century. Jefferson warned against the banks. So much for his statue in NYC, says a lot.
From the Mercola site:
Who Owns the World?
STORY AT-A-GLANCE:
“A handful of mega corporations — private investment companies — dominate every aspect of our lives; everything we eat, drink, wear or use in one way or another. These investment firms are so enormous, they control the money flow worldwide.
While there appear to be hundreds of competing brands on the market, like Russian nesting dolls, larger parent companies own multiple smaller brands. In reality, all packaged food brands, for example, are owned by a dozen or so larger parent companies.
These parent companies, in turn, are owned by shareholders, and the largest shareholders are the same in all of them: Vanguard and Blackrock.
No matter what industry you look at, the top shareholders, and therefore decision makers, are the same: Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street and/or Berkshire Hathaway. In virtually every major company, you find these names among the top 10 institutional investors.
These major investment firms are in turn owned by their own set of shareholders. One of the most amazing things about this scheme is that the institutional investors also own each other. They’re all shareholders in each other’s companies. At the very top are Vanguard and Blackrock. Blackrock’s largest shareholder is Vanguard, which does not disclose the identity of its shareholders due to its unique structure.”

God… you’re such a shit head. You are spamming the blogroll. Spamming it. <<< Spamming a blogroll people support with Patreon dollars.
You do understand this blogroll is not a clearing house for your copy/pasted material? I remember a time when incompetent promoter types weren't on this blogroll.
I appreciated the schizoid ravings of some of the more original posters, but this is someone else's fucking paid-for ad copy … it is spam. You are not just linking it, you are fucking quoting it. All it takes is a handful of committed spam posters to reduce the overall quality of a blogroll.
You are the shit in the punchbowl, M-Queen. Always were. Go kill yourself.
Thanks for that – you have inspired me to post even more.
I’ll let our illustrious host decide what is and isn’t relevant here, SnackPack.
Little Debbie once again confirms he is returning banned troll Cargill.
Classic rage moment.

Yeah wow, seems to be more full of rage-o-hol than usual.
Go kill yourself.

You are Better than that.
“You are the shit in the punchbowl, M-Queen. Always were. Go kill yourself.”

Again, Little Debbie, you want someone whose opinion you disagree with to go KILL themselves. This is twice now in this one blog response that you have done. Who made you emperor? You are not offering a valuable contribution here. I am encouraging JHK to ban you.

So I was reading the NYT the other day and I noticed Nick Kristof resigned to run for Governor of Oregon.
I know I’m talking over ya’lls heads but, in a Strauss & Howe sense this could be the “grey leader” figure predicted. I’m thinking something of an Abe Lincoln, in respect to the “armchair civil war” that is going on.
His pedigree is so far beyond the specification for the generic political actor I’m comfortable making the prediction that he will be president, after a term as governor in OR, and he will lead the biggest coalition of American electorate since maybe- Roosevelt in WWII.
So…
anyone else got any predictions?
I predict you go to bed sad and alone tonight, in drag, with a box of Lil’ Debbies on the nightstand.
Of course, I could be wrong.
“No good reason,” Slugger? Proud Mary is a total troll.
She’s a bully who constantly attacks with a barage of strawmen, ad homs, name-calling and public ridicule.
—–
Proud Mary never had children so is she Really even a woman?
Like a priest, Right? Are they Really men when they have foregone so much of what being a man is?
Of course, priests chose their life to serve God while no Earthly man could stomach Prpud Mary and her sickly Pride.
Locked down in Melbourne on a Friday night.
Those Sno-Balls ain’t gonna eat themselves.
Hahahahaha!
@Debbie
I PREDICT that today’s political discussions will have been moot and useless before the coming Spring.
~toktomi~
And I 2nd and 3rd it !!!!!!!!
we will be lucky to get to spring.
had a vision about that once………..
Just came back to me.
Okay, I’ll bite, what are talking about? A winter of discontent? Followed by civil war?
Give me a simple “X will happen in Y timeframe”.
Nope………….Nothing like that
just brief pictures, like 2 or 3 seconds in a silent film
the snow was melting along some highway, a highway that hadn’t been plowed in a long time
The hands and arms of the people beneath…………
were just starting to show.
Graphic enough for you ??
Was for me
Well, I will be the first to admire the refreshing change in perspective as the discussion transitions into more abstract strategic analyses and away from personal anecdotal stories.
So, to keep the ball rolling, what are the odds on the numbers of people who will:
– flee the country
– leave blue zones and head to the greater south (TX + FL providing twin bulwharks)
– stay put in blue zones, but concentrate in red holdouts
Just over the border, I was talking to a friend about this very issue. We are both in agreement that the best course of action would be to head home. (Its around about 2 hrs back/forth.) The locals are friendly, and I even speak the language, but I believe the wisest choice is to actually post up among fellow citizen friendlies, even if it is a free fire zone.
Iow, I would pick option #3 above.
I’ve just scrolled past the best part of ten posts from OG hassling Mary for no good reason. You’re turning into a rather nasty and unhinged piece of work, OG. Thankfully Mary has the good grace to rise above your pettiness.
Thanks for pointing it out, Slug. Not sure what his agenda is, but it certainly doesn’t put him in a good light.
My agenda, Proud Mary, is for you to either:
1) Justify your horrible public allegations of “hypocrite” with “hypocrisy off the charts” against me or
2) Retract them.
You know that, Liar.
You started this War, Liar.
You fucked the Wrong guy. I will regularly (abd easily) point out my thoughts of you Just as you have me, Liar.
Of course, I can easily prove my allegations, Liar.
Unhinged.
Get some sleep.
Maybe get laid. Maybe that’ll help.
Yes, I am unhinged. Proud Mary unhinged me with her trolly, sck sadism.
Sleep soon (now over 50 hours sans food).
Saturday Night is Date Night … but enjoying intimacy with my gf will not alleviate my thirst for Truth, Justice & Righteousness.
Pretty sure.
“You know that, Liar.
You started this War, Liar.
You fucked the Wrong guy. I will regularly (abd easily) point out my thoughts of you Just as you have me, Liar.
Of course, I can easily prove my allegations, Liar.”
Mary,
There is only one defense from such a verbal onslaught…you must employ the Rubens gambit. It is a powerful argument, one that might even thwart invectives hurled from one with a 154 (measured) IQ…Your only defense;
“I know you are, but what am I”
Employ it now, and often, or you will become deranged by his massive intellect.
A very short instructional video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfeLsPRl3so
Another good comeback: “You love me a LOT more than I love you.”
Proud Mary called me a “schizo” “hypocrite” with “hypocrisy off the charts” and yet refuses to either Justify these horrific public allegations or retract them for Peace, Justice & Righteousness, Slugger.
That is hardly “no good reason.”
—–
You can call me seeking Justice “rather nasty and unhinged piece of work” if you like … but please keep in mind, it was her fraggng me that unhinged me.
It was her attack on me that ended Peace. It is her refusal to Justify or retract her horrific, unfounded allegations of me that perpetuates War.
You need look at the Genesis of this War before you start deciding blame, Slugger.
—–
Are the nasty and the unhinged not entitled to Free Speech? If so, do you see how that would only make us worse? Are you a sadist?
—–
You sound like an American, Slugger. “I can’t Believe that they are now killing our occupying forces! What a bunch of assholes!”
—–
Proud Mary called you “Death,” Slugger. What do you think of that?
You, your Grandfather, your Father, your brothers, your uncles, your friends, your cousins, your sons, your Grandsons. “Death.”
—–
Proud Mary fucked the Wrong guy, Slugger. I will contnue to share my critiques of her Just as she fragged me with her critiques of me. The only difference is that my critiques are based on fact while her critiques are erroneous, hurtful and, as yet, unretracted.
—–
“I did not start this War but I will finish it.”
You sound bonkers, mate. Take a chill pill.
Oooookay then!
I’d hate to unfriend you on Facebook.
if i had a penny for every time someone used religion to plaster over some stubborn immaturity or some intrenched refusal to give up a particular negative behavior permanently.
use religion as an eternal motivator, not an escape please
Plus neither he nor Jarek can produce a link to the comment in which I allegedly said men are death.
You are now denying that you said, “Women are life. Men are death,” Proud Mary? I did not know that.
—–
Q? Can you help us out? Can you find Proud Mary’s quote? It was roughly a week or 2 ago.
You don’t know how to do a search on the blog? LOL.
No I do not. I type on an iPad with no F.
Besides, with tested 154 IQ, I needn’t waste my time learning to do things that I will never, ever use.
What is funny about that? Nothing. But you regularly use LOL and LMAO because you argue corruptly based on “Attack, attack, attack!” with myriad strawmen, ad homs, name-calling and ridicule.
That is your standard m.o.
You never left Grade 7. We all know that.
—–
Jarek is Right. You did say it. I did read it. There is nothng Wrong in turning to resources for tasks that they are Good at and enjoy. Q is capable of finding your quote and there is nothing Wrong in me askng that of him even if you laugh your fool ass off.

You are not Right nearly as often as you think that you are, Proud Mary. TruStory

Where’s the link? Do you not know how to link directly to comments?
It’s there, Mary. I posted it before but you “must” have missed it. I’ll post it later or perhaps Herr Og will do so first. Who can say?
Perhaps you could post it and try to explain yourself. That would be best of all.
Where? I don’t see a link anywhere I see a date. There’s no link.
Hillary Clinton: When asked if she had wiped the servers, Hillary replied, What like with a cloth or something?
Well that’s a cute little diversional story, but I still don’t see a link.
Don’t worry, others will.
mary
the link is at the date he mentioned, dummy.
What if your Faith and name and character were unJustly maligned in the Public Square, GR22?
Would it be immature of you to defend yourself against such horrific, unfounded allegations?
You see, in this case, it is not Religion that is the problem per se. Rather, it is a measure of Freedom that all men be allowed to defend themselves and to see all evidence held against them.
These are not immature things. These are the corner-stones of Western Law & Civilization.
He wants to go back – that means going back to letting boys fight again and not having some female teacher shrieking about being good. Going back means going back to Masculine Honor.
Mary wants to go back too – so men can protect women. Does she get that means letting boys fight and not having them guilt tripped by an almost 100% female teaching corps at the elementary level?
You can’t change one major thing without changing a lot of other things too. Men can’t/won’t defend feminine honor if they haven’t been allowed any of their own. It just doesn’t work that way.
More assumptions about me that are 100% false and not even close to what I actually think.
You’re seriously bad at this, Jarek.
It’s an ugly little inner world of bitterness and hate you live in, Jarek.
Come out out of your self-imposed exile and join humanity before it’s too late.
Well said. Thank you.
this is actually a pretty semi private, low-key square og. So i just think your energy spent on fighting “accusations” is out of proportion. what about, say your piece and move on. let water off roll off your duck back now and then? What’s wrong with one retort, instead of 50. You still get to defend yourself. nobody gets all the apologies they think theyre owed. we all know that right?
What OG is doing is a magical act that will send out eddies far beyond this little puddle. One can not touch a flower without troubling a star, Gus.
He is far closer to the Ancients than you are, you know…..
Thank you, Yoho.
GR22: To each their own. Maybe if Proud Mary called you a “schizo” “hypocrite” with “hypocrisy off the charts,” you’d feel differently while she drops her little brain farts all over CFN.
Regardless, my name and character and Faith are not a duck’s back. I’m soaked in unJust, unproven accusations and allegations.
—–
Why do you not press her to either Justify or retract these horrific allegations against me in the Public Forum?
Why do you side with Wrong over Right?
me and the ancients stay a little more relaxed than that, saving energy for the crucial moments
Why do you not press her to either Justify or retract these horrific allegations against me in the Public Forum?
Why do you side with Wrong over Right?
Not even neutral but choosing Wrong over Right.
You can legitimize this but God does not.
People!
Stop this!
Don’t feed ’em.
@ OG:
My faith and character have been unjustly maligned many times. I don’t really mind unless the perp’s allegations are likely to do me some harm in the real world.
Once one of my neighbors dropped by and told me that one of my other neighbors had pointed out my house and said, “That woman who lives there is a lesbian.” I replied, “I’ve had two marriages, six children and countless lovers. If I were gay, I would tell you.”
I don’t think there’s anything in the cornerstones of Western Law and Civilizaion about “stuff people say.” That falls under the heading of good manners. The normal punishment for bad manners is not being invited the next time you have a dinner party, not sharing your free shipping promo code with them, and not letting them join your country club.
@ Jarek: I think that was the way the ancients did it. At least that’s what the I Ching advises.
They both flipped out because I said that men are the ones who start wars, and women are the ones who give birth.
I’ve never seen anyone freak out over an obviously true statement before like these 2 dudes have over that.
It’s hilarious to watch.
That is not what you said, Liar.
You said that women create life.
We said, ‘No, men and women create life.’
You said women are life and men are Death.
Then you changed your tune and switched “create life” to “birth” and ridicule us for this obvious Truth and your completely changed premise.
You are corrupt. You have too much Pride for what we now face, Proud Mary. You are in for a World of hurt you Prideful, corrupt, lying sadist.

I do agree with mitchellc that it makes the most sense (to me) to stay where you are and fight the scourge when it comes your way.
The most important thing right now is having connections and community. And this covid hoax/techno-feudalism takeover is global, meaning, at some point, you will have to resist it no matter where you go.
Brilliant.
What is it like, to not have any real purpose in life but to squat in someone’s blogroll like a bum in an abandoned house?
Do you think people read your shit for “The most important things right now” ?
C’mon man…
Oh the irony of this post – hahahahhaa!
Whats new dude… wheres the beef?
I know… “civil war- next week or next month” … your perennial hobby horse
Why not just change your handle to “Never right about anything- check my track record”?
For a period of time, Proud Mary changed her handle to wallow in her sin. TruStory
I haven’t really addressed CW2 as something I endorse, but you’re probably not smart enough to understand that.
Ha! Where do you come up with such quality material?
Kristof does 1 or 0.5 terms in office in Oregon, then, he runs for president.
I’m doubling-tripling-quadrupling down here: Kristof >WILL BE< the 47th and/or 48th president of the USA.
He will lead the biggest landslide victory in American history.
He will take over 80% of the millennial/GenZ electoral cohort which will dominate over the next several decades.
Stop spamming – you’ve already said that.
I was putting a fine point on it.
You do understand the value of specificity in futurism- I have a rep to protect.
Unlike you, I make predictions, and I put time-frames around them.
You’re beneath the rank of amateur. You gossip and cheerlead trends. You’re useful to me, as a counterindicator. You’re a dumb troll, but that doesn’t mean you are a complete waste of time. I just invert the probabilities based on your posts.
If you think A I increase the weight of not-A. It’s been enormously profitable to use this strategy from your cohort signalling on this blogroll.
You have a rep to protect – hahahahahha! Thanks for being extra funny today.
I think I’ve heard the “Do you know who I AM?” gambit before.
Whether the answer is, “Yes, I do,” or “No I don’t,” it usually doesn’t score any points for the person playing that card.
You’re beneath the rank of amateur. You gossip and cheerlead trends.
BINGO!
You nailed it, Snack Pack.
Proud Mary is clueless with delusions of grandeur.
We all know that and Sad but True.
Well, Debbie, the way the Dems are going right now.
I will double-triple -quadruple that 45 th and 47th president will be Donald Trump and he will rip apart your beloved Deep State and its banner The New York Times by 2028.
So there.
My guess hold just as much credibility as yours.
True, it does have just as much credibility. Maybe more, as at least Trump has made it to the highest office before.
How does it hold as much credibility? John, I read your posts. You have a better grasp of things than most of these fools. You don’t know anything about Kristof, I assume. Why would you, he’s just bee a Pulitzer Prize winning author, writer, columnist, etc., for decades… Christian… literate… knoweldgable… patient…
Kristof is a paragon of respectability… he is capable of converting republicans- capable of leading the millennial/GenZ cohort- they will dominate national election cycles, there is no question about it.
Yes, Trump will mount a vigorous campaign, especially with his new media war chest The demographics are close, but I don’t think he has the numbers to win, as a practical matter. Provably, he doesn’t have the ability to lead. The can spoil- maybe.
The political polarization over the last several decades led to these administrations without broad mandates. I think Kristof can and will do this- have both conservative and liberal majorities.
Go ahead and shake your head… I am merely connecting dots here: the picture is forming. I believe in a natural physics that governs reality, and I am leaping chasms of reason to explicitly make claims about a future that no one can verify.
I did not have these thoughts until 3:00 pm yesterday, when I first saw the headline. It took all of 5 minutes to come to this conclusion. So take it for what it is.
I’m going all-in on Kristof, 2024, or 2028. Not as an advocate, but as a matter futurism: this will come to pass, or else gremlins have gotten into my brain and scrambled my antennae.
Feel free to go all-in against me. Any and all, I’m taking the bets- lets put rep on the line, I’m comfortable.
This is quite something. You claim to be intelligent, but have no clue that the elections are fixed?
This is quite something. LOL.
You do not even understand the word intelligence, Proud Mary.
You seem to think that intelligence means “agrees with you.”
You do not get it. In national politics, nice respectable guys get clobbered. All we get to chose from in Nov. is the bottom dwellers that can out BS the others.
Track record – was it any wonder Obama promised us the moon, yet delivered nothing but Dumbya-on-steriods bankster-warmongering (his Senate votes should have been a clue).
Nothing but a neoconservative corporate oligarch bought-and-paid-for whore.
Oh wait, Obamacare. Wow, that really made a difference. I know I ended up paying IRS penalties, as I had not signed up in time (3/12 months)…
As far as I can tell, there is one single congressman with a proven track record. He says what he does, and does what he says, for 4 decades. But he got ixnei’d by the DNC; apparently primaries aren’t really elections. And we end up with the duopoly “Dumb and Dumber” choice…
“parents shouldn’t tell schools what to teach.”
Talk about a clueless dolt; McA is completely out of touch w/ his constituents. (neoliberal taking bribes? what’s new?)
And do you see that as a good thing or a bad thing? What about Teargassed Ted Wheeler and Bitch on Wheels Kate Brown? Do you say, like Bush, You’re doin’ a hell of a job, Brownie?
The reckoning is coming for the Democrats.
The progressives aren’t onboard anymore
Enough of Pelosi Inc. and the party of big finance.
The GOP is dead and the Democratic Party as we know it is next.
We’re no stopping until they and their plutocrat paymasters are broken and paying.
Out their nose
Where are you on abortion?
You’ll be the first to know when I get there sweetheart
Zing!
Just remember, treason to Global Feminism is loyalty to America, nay Western Civilization, nay Humanity itself!
I don’t belong to anyone Jarek.
Groups or ideologies.
My body, my mind, my choice
You are a nation of one, right? You don’t depend on anyone or anything. You brought yourself into existence too. Superwoman!
I’m just a mere mortal man born to die, dependent on many conditions and people for my sustenance, and ultimately God for my life.
Jarek, when my friend’s CSA delivers my produce, eggs, and craft beer (yes, even beer!) and I return him 2 dozen loaves of sourdough starter breads, he doesn’t ask me about zygotes and I don’t ask him if he wears cocktail dresses at night.
Catch my drift?
I’m old-ass school: not my damn business
And it’s a mutual thing
So your body isn’t completely “yours”, since dependent on things outside itself?
The Dawn perhaps?
Don’t be so obtuse, weirdo
@Jarek she clearly states she trades goods. No one is giving her a free ride.
That’s what I just said. She claimed independence. I said that she is dependent – just like everyone else. She then admitted that she traded – thus not independent. I said “4” and she said 2+2. I know she’d die before saying “4” or explicitly admitting my point. But she did admit it in her own way.
Likewise she is not independent at the level of mind. Nor the spirit. Neither are you. Neither am I. Neither is anybody.
Oh my god Jarek, you’re just catching on that people depend on other people!
At this rate, by next week you’ll figure out, all by yourself of course, that people aren’t free persons! Imagine that! Jarek going to deduce that everyone everywhere is a ward of some state!!!
Now, people depend on animals and insects too Jarek, but I don’t remember them telling me what pronouns are acceptable, what stance on LGQTBLMNOP is appropriate or what history I need to acquaint myself with
They too will remind me that I need them more than they need me, and I’ll remind them they don’t have the mind for it
Great advice, furrshurr
So in what sense is your original statement true, now that you really think about it? Your body? It’s a colony of cells, organs, and system – a Commonwealth for the greater good. If any of them get ideas of independence, the soldier cells will try to kill them before they cause a revolution. Such cells are called “cancer”.
Now on this plane of existence, the human realm, are you a good cell or the other? I hear you constantly trashing our Civilization, but of course there is such a thing as healthy criticism. Is that what you are about? Or simply tearing it down, an earlier version of the wokies. If you were twenty years younger, would you have abstained from the BLM/Antifa orgy of destruction?
Uh, you just want the last word, right?
Mansplaining away!
Go ahead, have it
Whatever you say maaaan
Jarek has really debased himself during the past two weeks with this petty sniping. It’s hilarious to watch though.
Slug: You can’t tolerate everything. You can’t tolerate Marxism – because it won’t tolerate non-Marxism. Ditto Islam.
Now as Sartre said, Feminism isn’t a humanism (which might tolerate) but rather a Marxism (which does not). Thus?
Thus it can’t be tolerated.
The above few lines are an entire semester’s worth of Liberal Arts, boile down for the practical man in a hurry or on the make. Don’t have time to study? We’ll do it for you…..
Voting? Sorry friend, no. Not until you have time to study the issues as Aristotle said in his “Politics”. I have little doubt you will be able to qualify then.
I’m a proud feminist. Feminism has a rich history, starting in earnest in the 18th century, France.
You don’t know anything about it. There are different factions or waves, many of which contradict each other.
Feminists are the first line of defense against the trans agenda scourge. Men aren’t doing that. Women are.
You’re welcome.
Women have no balls.
We all know that.

Big ole Penis Envy.
@OG
154,000,000 IQ says, “Big ole Penis Envy”.
I must confess to a bit of an admiration for your ability to creatively combine words in the most ridiculous and irritating ways and your ability to consistently write [what strikes me as] nothing but nonsense.
~toktomi~
So which school or wave are you?
Silence.
But you admit the different ones sometimes contradict. Thus you don’t speak for all women.
I lean toward the radical feminists, although I don’t agree with everything. They are the ones standing up for kids against the trans scourge.
I don’t have much if anything in common with the pussy hat parade ‘3d wave’ corporate feminists.
And, I never said I speak for all women. Yet again, that’s you making shit up I never said, which you do with everyone, and which is tiresome and reveals arrested development.
Ok, not explicitly or in so many words. But you often berate “men” (which?) for not standing up for “women” (which?).
And of course: Women good, Men bad. Life/Death. Nothing subtle or nuanced about your overall philosophy.
Nope. Again, that’s your interpretation, and it’s wrong.
As I said, people who do what you do – believe they can read other peoples’ minds, know their intentions, and then twist their words accordingly – are usually trapped in arrested development.
Manipulating people is not a healthy way to go through life, Jarek.

Women give life, men kill.
Same ol’ same ol’. Since the beginning of time.
I know this realization rankles some of you men, but that’s just how it is.
MOTHER nature rules all, and bats last.
Whether you like it or not.
Jarek: There you have it folks, straight from the horse’s mouth. The Mad Queen speaks speaks her mind.
Oh so you’ve been quoting it out of context all this time, then.
I demand an apology.
Context is everything.
And yep I stand behind it.
The only people that have issue with it is you & O.G. and I can somehow live with that.
Don’t forget the part about men committing 95% of violent crime, so it’s a factual statement.
Also men start all wars.
Also men commit all the genocide.
Also women are the only ones who bring a life into the world, men can’t do that.
Now, go seethe some more.
You claimed you didn’t say it, but here it is. Why did you lie?
You took it out of context, and reworded it.
Then you direct quoted it when I called you out on it.
You lied.
Apologize, immediately!
I stand by every word, to boot.
So, get over it, toots.
You are utterly shameless and thus, hopeless.
@Jar and Mar
Oh, for crying out loud, you two, how parochial of you.
Of course in the final acts, men are responsible for most of the death and destruction and women are responsible for birth. That’s our job within the human species, it seems.
However, the complexities of the Universe and human relationships, if they could be parsed out, would surely reveal that we are all in this together, sharing responsibilities and authorities in infinity subtle ways for all that is good and evil.
Personally, I like women much better than men; they are much better looking, softer, less hairy, sweeter sounding, and better smelling to me.
~toktomi~
Jarek, I didn’t understand a word you just said! Once again, for a commoner, please?
Oh really, what part? Or are you being proud of being a mommy’s little helper? It’s very common.
Or proud of not understanding? Most have too much healthy pride to be like that, but I’ve encountered it.
All of it. You and OG make a great Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, by the way.
Ignorant and proud of it. Alright then.
Uh oh, even the Daily Mail is now admitting that the crowd of protesters in Loudon County who want the evil corrupt criminal superintendent held to account is made up of Democrats, Lefties and Feminists, not ‘right wing extremists.’
This isn’t looking good on Obama and the board who tried to cover up a crime, of which the perp was found guilty the other day.
Not looking good for Democrat ‘leadership’ at all, in general, either nor the wokies, nor the trans agenda.
This situation may have been the shot across the bow that begins the tipping point against the idiotic liberal agendas.
We can only hope.

Just one more sign everyone has lost their minds.

For the record… yeah. Look, the “Deep State”… is a theory, is a conspiracy, is a thing, sure. Maybe it is.
Assuming that it is, I also assume it was never not.
Seriously.
Exactly when was the “genesis” of the deep state?
There is a plausible argument for an endless regression here… where is the backstop? I think reasonably, you could put it to in the 1940s. The 1950s-1960s I think, is the “nightmare” scenario as the country goes. The postwar era featured all the “Bad” Deep State stuff. Post 1989, I think we move to “Deep State II” … a natural progression. 2001, “Deep State III” and so forth.
Yes, little orphan Annie, there is a Deep State, they collude with Daddy Warbucks… yes… other countries run by their own “Deep States” .
Vietnam? Diep state. China? Very deep state. Russia? FSB deep state. Britain? MI-6. France? Deeper and deeper and deeper.
Yes. The world is run by intelligence agencies. We are no longer living in an era where military or political bureacracies run the world.
Could there be a better argument for the superiority of “Deep States” than the current status quo? Keep in mind, there has been global stability since 1945. In retrospect it was inevitable. The alternative was unthinkable. It is a quid pro quo. Intelligence agencies collude to create the boundaries within which polity and economies can operate. The smartest people in all major powers understand that neither democracies nor autocracies can fully prevent disaster. They are way, way smarter than that. They know the briefcase the young marine has shackled to his wrist as he follows the president around the “nuclear football” so speak- is just for show.
Yeah, it is dishonest, but if you are a functioning adult, you understand why you have have bread and circuses, and saber-rattling, instead of actual warfare. Dumber, 1960s era Deep States already went through the tender young period where they experimented with more, shall we say, internally consistent, ideological, game theory… call it “real politic”. Kissinger, Nixon, the SecDef MacNamara… these guys were a pit stop on track to the destination.
People can talk about how inept the Deep State is, and point to these examples. On the other hand, these also provide the hard data- on why it didn’t work. These deep states develop intelligence, and like a person, they learn through first hand experience, o there is an internal consistency. The status quo, politically, militarily, and economically, is a product of each country’s deep states in maintaining that status quo.
Do the “Deep States” keep their countries from going off “Deep ends”? Ultimately, yes. They are integral to the ongoing status quo, a status quo which values systemic stability. There is no practical or possible route around their protection racket, so to speak, by any democratic process in any of these countries. And none is going to evolve to force them out on the basis of a status quo.
Very smart people do in fact collude, and have by now, cemented into place the protocols and infrastructure to keep the hoi polloi from taking control, and that is a very good thing. It is not reasonable to judge these things by the standards of Jeffersonian democratic political philosophy of the 18th century. Appealing to those sentiments is popular, but is a hopeless anachronism. People who believe in “live free or die” or “sovereign citizen” or whatever, just pine for a bygone political age, a pathological nostalgia.
By the way, “nostalgia” used to be considered poor mental hygiene, in the 19th century. We might see some of that come back when all the silly hopes and fevered dreams based on a scrabble set of sacred words like “freedom” and “liberty” fade with the realization that meaningless words are all they are.
Deep States are okay if they put the interests of their public before their own.
Unfortunately, our Deep State has aligned itself with globalist elements and the American people are the losers.
You men beyond any loyalty to any state or bureaucracy.
Men whose wealth places them above and beyond governments.
Thanks to people like John.
People who believe that amassing all the wealth, and keeping it, is A-OK
You’re living on stolen land. Get out, Karen!
