At least half the public is already onto the extravagant damage inflicted on our national life by the beneficiaries of the 2020 election….

The unravelling of the USA gets its summer steroid booster shot this Thursday when the political twerk-fest known as the January 6th Select Committee commences prime-time televising of its inquiry into the so-called “insurrection” the day that Congress met to tally the 2020 electoral college vote when hundreds of protesters entered the US Capitol illegally, egged on and enabled by a squad of FBI plants larded through the crowd, and by shadowy figures inside the building who unlocked the doors for them.

The objectives of this extravaganza are A) to soften up the remaining “purple” voters before the midterm election, B) to paint former president Donald Trump as an instigator of the uproar and an enemy-of-the-people so he won’t be able to run for office again, and C) to punish former White House employees and Trump partisans with onerous legal fees so as to knock them off the political game board.

The Party of Chaos certainly doesn’t need to reinforce the mass formation psychosis of its base who maintain that the 2020 election was the fairest-and-squarest in US history. The committee members will chant the talismanic phrase “The Big Lie” ad nauseam to ward off reasonable suspicions that they are the ones doing the lying. Since a kind of maniacal stupidity attends all the party’s doings these days, it could easily backfire on them. Even two years later probes are still pending in several swing states, and only a few weeks ago, the documentary 2000 Mules released time-stamped videocam footage of blatant wholesale drop-box ballot-stuffing around the country.

Lawsuits filed lately also claim the committee itself is illegally constituted, since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi disallowed (against the rules) the minority Republicans from appointing their own chosen members. Instead, she did it for them, planting the vehemently hostile rogues Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger on it, meaning no witnesses will be called who might refute pertinent details of the “insurrection” narrative already constructed. Much of the testimony presented will be videotaped interviews with Trump White House officials and there will be no accounting for what may be edited out. In other words, you have an obvious setup for a star chamber, a device for disregarding individual rights and fair procedure.

The context, of course, as I aver above, is a country that is imploding six ways to Sunday — to paraphrase Chuck Schumer, the Party of Chaos’s Senate leader. At least half the public is already onto the extravagant damage inflicted upon our national life by the beneficiaries of the 2020 election. Thanks to “Joe Biden,” the dollar is hemorrhaging value, we instigated a war in Ukraine that will lead to global famine and mass refugee events, oil and natgas are unaffordable thanks to our destabilizing of global distribution networks, spare parts are unavailable for every imaginable machine in the land, the business model for farming is broken, real estate is groaning under rising mortgage interest rates, the CDC is still pushing Covid vaccines despite proof that they are ineffective and harmful, cities are overwhelmed with criminal violence and psychotic homeless drug fiends, and, as a final indignity — actually, an advertisement to the world of our depraved weakness — the US military is hosting drag queen shows at our European air bases.

Are these the circumstances that American voters are expected to endorse in the November election when all these conditions are liable to get a lot worse? Apparently, the Party of Chaos thinks so, since they’re delivering exactly what they stand for. And yet, they’re clearly nervous about it, as if they suffer fugitive doubts that we-the-people are avid for cultural and economic collapse.

My advice, then, is to take the televised January 6th hearings for the grand entertainment it’s intended to be. Enjoy the sob stories of the Capitol Police officers pretending to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Behold the terrible “threat to our Democracy” of the bare-chested interloper in a horned helmet chatting-up security guards in the Senate chamber. Note the “insurrectionists” taking seditious selfies in statuary hall and trying to fob off with souvenir furnishings. See Rep. Liz Cheney fulminate with scorn and disgust against her orange nemesis. Sympathize with committee Chair Bennie G. Thompson as he bangs his gavel and cries for order when any live witness utters the name Ashli Babbitt. Watch Rep. Adam Kinzinger turn on the waterworks. Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?

    (not our merit , nor our fault)

    Being born human, it’s not easy to relinquish one of the foremost – if not the foremost – human trait: to have prejudices.

    Everything humans do is transient – I don’t know why the things we do which are destructive leave a longer lasting impression than the constructive ones.

    (Or maybe I do know: in general, the human brain has a yin slant.)

    To spice things up, let me add that the human brain has been shifting: the masculine brain is turning increasingly yin, while the females’ brains are becoming increasingly yang (the I Ching rules!)

    (Please spare me: if you are a regular here then you do have a “negative” bias brain.)

    And then you might ask, “so what?” To which my reply would be: have you ever considered why the slant, why the drift?

    Fate? Who’s behind that?
    (The Everlasting Dissatisfaction)

    • si June 6, 2022 at 9:57 am #

      Being a ‘regular reader’ of these pages…. Do I have a “negative bias” or a “reality” based one?

      If reality ‘is’ negative, then being negative is not a bias.

      “Life is nasty, brutish and short”.

      Yes there are good things and the totality is not just the narrow toxic slime produced by the feckless self interested class (aka the ‘elite’)

      • Cavepainter June 6, 2022 at 10:20 am #

        Thanks, si, for your “match point” against the sophistry of Armenio.

        • Anthea June 6, 2022 at 1:47 pm #

          It’s not even sophistry. Every line of Armenio’s post is something he pulled out of his ass.

          • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 2:08 pm #

            The food you deemed so tasteful not long ago soon to become loathed manure, yet so precious for the land to remain fertile.
            Nothing remains precious forever – Nothing remains noxious forever
            Some things anew – Some things decay
            Everything changes – The Everlasting Dissatisfaction remains.

    • SomeoneInAsia June 6, 2022 at 10:05 am #

      I think the very fact that you have such high regard for the I Ching already shows that certain things humans do are not so transient after all. The I Ching is more than 2,500 years old, yet there you go drawing upon and praising its contents. 🙂

      • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 11:01 am #

        Thank you for your words.
        Assuming that the I Ching has a human origin, perhaps it is the human translation of the Universal Truth.
        I was not objecting to the transient nature of things, just wondering out loud why we humans seem to be hardwired to see things as imperfect (and, since I believe in The Eternal Dissatisfaction, aka God, things are indeed perfect, regardless of my constraints & bias.)

        • messianicdruid June 6, 2022 at 6:15 pm #

          How can eternal dissatisfaction be perfect?

          • megabeth June 6, 2022 at 7:05 pm #

            I think he meant perfect in the sense of the whole, or finished thing. It is part of the whole of the human history–we are a dissatisfied and questing species, and probably will never change.

          • messianicdruid June 6, 2022 at 9:36 pm #

            When God is “all in all” we will have peace.

            I guess “eternal” threw me off.

    • Ron Anselmo June 6, 2022 at 10:34 am #

      Reality is neither negative nor positive – reality just “is”. Negative or positive is the spin (bias) one puts on it. Simple as that.

      • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 11:41 am #

        In other words, No God, as the Vampire Lord of Siberia said in Thirty Days of Night.

        • shotho June 6, 2022 at 12:51 pm #

          There’s a whole industry working to disprove God.

          • kimmasad01 June 6, 2022 at 4:49 pm #

            According to those who produce and fund “industry”, those who are 33° Freemasons- members of secret societies that fall under or within broader Freemason witchery – according to their favorite book, Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike, atheists are considered vulgar, profane and philistine.

            33° Freemasons don’t seek to disprove God at all; however, they do vilify Jesus Christ (Freemasons deliberately reproached the name of Jesus Christ by transforming it into a swear word- yes Freemasons did that), and seek to disprove that Jesus is the foretold Messiah- these 33° Freemason ghouls both hate and fear him, conversely they worship they enemy of Christ, Baphomet, it is not clear whether Baphomet is a demon or Satan himself.

            Watch for their sigils- the hidden hand, the secret handshake, one eye, hexagram, pyramid, compass and square (which is really a sex position) lightening strike tattoos and/or make up, the horned hand signal, and more. 33° Freemason ghouls love their sigils.

          • MaryQueen June 6, 2022 at 7:55 pm #

            Indeed. Read Vigilant Citizen dot com on a regular basis and you will learn it all.

          • Redneck Liberal June 7, 2022 at 3:49 am #

            Indeed. Read vigilant dot com to have all your deluded biases confirmed. In technicolor.

          • hmuller June 7, 2022 at 11:01 am #

            I see Redneck Liberal is still faithfully coming here to learn the truth, though he will vehemently deny it.

          • MaryQueen June 7, 2022 at 9:56 pm #

            The pedos and satanists are out in the open. You don’t have to believe in ’em, they’re boasting and showing it off.

            I’m not sure how anyone can miss it.

            Oh well.

        • Ron Anselmo June 6, 2022 at 1:18 pm #

          Janos – what God has created – all things – some call negative & some call positive – the free will we’re given.

          • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 2:30 pm #

            Ok, but what are they in Truth? From the pov of Truth – which some call God?

            First things first. You started in the middle, as does Libertarianism. It’s logical from there, but that’s too late. First Principles come first for a reason.

            I used to talk to my Jewish friend in this vein when it came to politics. He once looked at me and said, Americans hate this kind of thing. How right he was! Thus what we see before us.

    • Rowdypiglet June 6, 2022 at 10:57 am #

      “(Please spare me: if you are a regular here then you do have a “negative” bias brain.)”

      I think you will find that regulars here are onto this kind of framing, especially when it’s accompanied by a command as to what reply we’re permitted to make. We’re not required to “spare” you the discomfort of making arguments you can’t refute, so I’ll proceed to ignore your commandment and make my chosen reply: you don’t have sufficient information to know what sort of bias (if any) any of us may have. That’s not intended to refute the observation that humans are prejudiced, but simply to state the obvious, which is that you don’t know any of us. That being so, it would be wise of you not to TELL us what our personal characteristics are.

      • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 11:06 am #

        Can I at least try (just for the sake of human curiosity)?

        Or can I just point out the limitations of those you dislike?

        (You must abhor mirrors, no?)

        • benr June 6, 2022 at 11:17 am #

          For a brief reply don’t cast stones in glass houses or as some would say look in the mirror and do some deep soul searching you might just figure out how full of shit you really are.
          Or not!

          • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 11:44 am #

            The Whole is perfect – disliking the parts is just a state of mind/temporary mind’s eye constraint.

        • Rowdypiglet June 6, 2022 at 1:15 pm #

          You can point out the limitations of anyone you choose. My objection was to your attempt to control the response of other people, and to assume you knew the mindsets of people whom you don’t know at all.

          • abbybwood June 6, 2022 at 1:34 pm #

            In the meantime, the 1/6 Commission is refusing to publicly release 15,000 hours of video from that day.

    • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 11:39 am #

      Yes, to be part of a culture is to have a particular perspective – and be prejudiced against other perspectives. Just like being a regular here. You don’t understand your own pov very well. Sad, because it’s a good one. You need to do a sys dump and delete files that don’t accord with this. Try all things by the best within you, in other words.

      • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 11:42 am #

        Thank you.
        I’m trying (it takes a lot of unlearning, though.)

        • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 12:16 pm #

          I suppose that’s why I’m changing from Linux to FreeBSD (is taking a lot of effort and constant head-on crashes against my cumbersome shortcomings, mind you.)

      • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 12:17 pm #

        IIs that really prejudice, though? If one tries to see things from another’s point of view, but then decides their own is right?

        • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 1:14 pm #

          Don’t forget the subjective – right for me or right for you, or for my people or your people.

          But use with care: This doesn’t apply to objective truth like mathematics, science, etc.

          • messianicdruid June 6, 2022 at 6:31 pm #

            Okay, is this subjective or objective?

            whatabeginning.com/Misc/Wonders/P.htm

        • GreenAlba June 6, 2022 at 2:41 pm #

          Prejudice is literally pre-judging – believing something or deciding on something without investigation or proper consideration.

          So agreeing or disagreeing with something before considering it properly would be prejudice. Considering all sides and still preferring your own interpretation would be something else (simple subjectivity?) although it might be affected by insurmountable prejudices that made it difficult to consider objectively.

          Or something like that … 🙂

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

        Thank God you wrote that^ Runatic. I had/have no clue what any comment above yours means, especially the first comment by Armenio Pereira. It is causing me to feel mentally inadequate. And I don’t see what that initial comment by Armenio has to do with today’s essay by JHK… not that there is a requirement that there MUST be a connection.

      • Anthea June 6, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

        @ LagingRunatic:

        I concur.

      • brudder June 7, 2022 at 8:45 am #

        Amen to that. Such horseshit.

    • Anthea June 6, 2022 at 1:43 pm #

      I’m thinking we here have an “objective reality” bias.

      Armenio seems unaware that there is such a thing–or unwilling to accept it. And hogwash is most convincing when cloaked in Eastern mysticism–or Walt Disney, if all else fails. Oh! I forgot the Beatles’ line, “Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about.”

      • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

        What’s the word for a truth no one believes in? A lie?

        (Yep, Cassandra – those pesky Greeks got it all figured out a couple thousand years ago, without resorting to the ironically named devices… I wonder how they did it.)

        • GreenAlba June 6, 2022 at 2:45 pm #

          Why is a truth no-one believes in a lie?

          • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 3:20 pm #

            If you don’t believe in said truth how would you call it? A rumor, perhaps?

            This is my probably haphazard way of exploring why we humans seem to be so at odds with Truth (admitting that truth is something so self-evident no human being with a modicum of good sense could deny it). I have this nagging feeling that the pursuit of knowledge is our way to compensate for our estrangement from Truth, but I’m just speculating here, trying lazily to come up with the right combination of words which could explain it all (I know, humility doesn’t live here anymore.)

          • GreenAlba June 6, 2022 at 3:26 pm #

            “If you don’t believe in said truth how would you call it? A rumor, perhaps?”

            You asked what it was, not what people would call it.

          • Armenio Pereira June 6, 2022 at 3:54 pm #

            Words are not things, words are superstitious labels humans use to name things.
            When it comes to Truth, semantics more likely than not are just dead-ends.

            [Achievement is pilling up (material goods, knowledge); perfection is narrowing down (opinions, prejudices, conceits, concepts.)
            Being able to cope with the demands of everyday life equipped with the shortest range possible of opinions is – eventually – my endeavor.]

        • jim e June 6, 2022 at 8:24 pm #

          But then it would not be a lie but merely a moon landing???

        • Anthea June 8, 2022 at 10:44 am #

          You are indulging in a line of thinking that is probably proscribed somewhere in Leviticus, under the general heading: “Don’t eat shit.”

          Fanciful thoughts happen to all of us, just as BMs do. But don’t be dousing them with an I Ching vinaigrette and bringing them to the dinner table.

          If the good Lord failed to mention this in Leviticus, it was probably because of an assumption that nobody was that stupid.

    • jim e June 6, 2022 at 7:17 pm #

      Armenio –
      How did such a strange comment end up being first? Was this person waiting ,,,, waiting for that moment to jump in? Get a life man.

      To answer your question about why the male human brain has been shifting toward yin, it’s simple chemistry. Our environment is full of estrogen mimics and endocrine disruptors. In cities, density may play a par too. (Remember mouse eutopia.)

      “Prejudicies” as you say, is a funny word. To pre judge something, one makes assumptions based either on appearance or on past experience or a combination. In an evolutionary sense, it means navigating the present based on the past. That’s what intelligence is all about. Politcal correctness has owned the word and turned it into a negative, but I’m not buying that.

      What Trump’s minions wanted was an honest review of the thousands of affidavits that had been presented that the election was rigged.

      With the power of the Deep State across all levels, there was no way and continues that way.

      Trump’s second term, sans impeachments and investigations may have broken up the evil morass that has formed, especially in the judicial.

      Pence showed what he was, a spineless Deep Stater, when he did nothing, not even a speech acknowledging the suspicious nature of the election results and insisting continued investigation, or out and out delaying the state count until samples of investigation could be run. The Dems could not allow that to happen, and Pence went along with them.

      Over and over, the enemy presented by the CFN blog is the Deep State, totally corrupted by RINOS like Pence, Kinzinger, McConnell and Cheney. Voting RINO does not fix anything, it actually makes things worse as it allows the Dems to parade around their “bipartisan” buddies.

      Deplorables, gird your loins, Purples, use your heads, “Are you better off than three years ago?”

      Stop the WEF and the Biden Mob.

          Like it or not Bill Clinton broke his oath of office by lying about the affair and even having sex in the office.
          I can’t think of anyone anywhere who would NOT be fired for cause doing such.
          It was not cheapened by the Republicans but by Bill Clinton for not doing the right thing and simply resigning in disgrace.
          Now to the brass tacks the DEMOCRATS attempted impeachment of a sitting president because they simply did not like him that is the ultimate form of cheapening the process and damaging our government.
          Frankly I am at the point I think everyone should be fired and we start all over with fair free honest elections with voter id required to cast a ballot and massive over site on the counting process.

          • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 12:31 pm #

            He wasn’t in the Oval Office, and I don’t see any part of that oath where he swears not to be a pig at work.

            As far as the lying part, he wasn’t lying about a thing that was in any way illegal or a danger to the Republic.

            What business did these “investigators” even have asking him about such a thing?

            Resigning in disgrace? Seriously?

            BTW a lie told under oath is not necessarily perjury.

            Notice that Clinton beat the proceeding, because most people could see it for what it was, a flagrant attempt to remove a duly elected president for political reasons.

            For some reason some believe to this day, that a president who commits adultery is breaking some kind of unwritten law.

          • hmuller June 6, 2022 at 1:06 pm #

            I agree Beryl. Lots Presidents commit adultery and all Presidents lie about all kinds of things. Personally, I despise the Clintons. But for the greater good of the Republic there should have been a higher bar to initiating impeachment.
            Now we see the consequences. Impeachment everytime the House opposing party has a hissy fit and a bare majority of votes.
            The Republicans may get a majority in November. Start making a list of every lie Bedpan Biden has uttered. There must be hundreds.
            I used to drive an 18 wheeler.
            I was arrested in the Jim Crow south for marching for civil rights
            I was arrested in South Africa for marching to release Nelson Mandella

            @b.o.o.

            The resident in the Whitehouse must hold a security clearance.
            Having sex with interns while being married is cause to lose said clearance as is lying under oath.
            The other part of this was he had sex with her in the oval office!
            He was also reported to masturbate and shoot the load into the garbage can.
            Bill Clinton is a scumbags scumbag but even he seems to fall far short of the current resident.

            No sure what part of this you don’t understand but there it is.
            I understand dirtbags have sullied the office before but they were not called into the carpet for it.
            Bill had far more cause to be fired than Donald.

          • Paula D June 6, 2022 at 2:37 pm #

            Security clearance, Benr?
            When the military is holding drag queen contests and there is a tranny as Health Secretary and a dog-boy fetishist as some other high official (forget which one)?
            At this point I can’t imagine what would constitute a “security risk” in this country.
            It used to be said that the only scandal that would get rid of a politician would be being found with a live boy or a dead girl, but the Franklin boys night-time tours of the White House and the Joe Scarborough dead intern in his office put the lie to that old saying.

          • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 2:37 pm #

            No he was not in the Oval Office. No he would not lose his security clearance for fooling around with a young woman who also had a security clearance.

        Ah, the deep state, what on earth would we be without them, I mean after all what would we be without Putin to blame all our woe’s on. Trump didn’t do a damn thing the four years he was in office except give the 1% a huge tax cut including himself, hide in his bunker while the BLM did over a billion dollars worth of damage to the cities, and tweet fake news, fake news like some kid on a playground or a bird in a cage, in reality Trumps as much of the deep state as the rest of the 1% and three letter agencies. You were coned by the conman from NYC, but aren’t intelligent to know it. The wars still raged the weapons kept flowing into Ukraine, the working class was no better off, in fact worse off due to the tariffs on China which drove up the price’s the government were the ones who made out. And you’re still whining about something that you should have done years ago when you had the chance to vote for someone who could/would have done something for the country, and it will be no different this time as you will send the same old thieves and crooks that make up the congress back for another term.

        • pyrrhus June 6, 2022 at 11:05 am #

          • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 11:18 am #

            He got us out of the expensive and phony Paris Accord. He didn’t do enough to get us a closed border, but the Republicans tried to hinder him on that as much as the Democrats did.

            He did quite a number of smaller things that we his supporters were pleased with.

            If you want a more comprehensive list of his accomplishments, look at the stacks of documents they were setting in front of Joe, in his first days in office.

            Biden was undoing everything Trump did.

        • workingclasshero June 6, 2022 at 11:25 am #

          I don’t buy that left populist prognosis that Trump was more of the same. He opened up Nationalist faction in the Republican party that was always there, but he strengthened it over the older Neo-conservative ruling class faction. He was guilty of trying to appease it because the Neo-cons and Neo-libs were 90% of the Elite in the federal govt. This is common knowledge of course, but Trump was and still is important for the Nationalist/Populist right to still be relevant in electoral politics. Even if we fail it will be done in plain view of the National Public which might compel fence sitters to draw certain conclusions. I like DeSantis and Abott like allot of folks, but Trump still has my vote for now.

        • JohnAZ June 6, 2022 at 11:31 am #

          This pack of TDS lies, right out of the MSM needs addressed

          Trump did one main thing during his four years, he kept the globalists at bay from taking over the US economy, especially the AGW folks that are currently shutting down the US.

          The tax cut did move dollars down to the middle class, but dot forget that encouraging company and corporate growth increases jobs which Joe is claiming credit for right now.

          Trump went after the whole St. George BLM era, giving blame on both sides. He also knew that his talking on the subject would just ignite things any more. Sometimes silence is golden.

          The Twitter thing is such a joke, I am surprised you bring it up. For years, people complained, especially the MSM that the WH did not communicate enough. So you get a president that discussed issues almost daily and he is excoriated for it. In my observation, he mostly answered attack from the Leftist bullshit lying screen that was always in play.

          The Ukraine became a morass of Biden corruption during Trump’s years, well documented like Watergate was. The working class enjoyed the lowest unemployment rates in history, especially minorities. He wisely used tariffs to control the Obama inspired take over of the US manufacturing economy, he should have cut the SOBs off at the knees to bring back our economy.

          You have been conned by a MSM that is so Left, actually progressive. You may believe that a Bernie inspired globalist takeover of the country is a good thing, I see it as a collapse of American excellence.

          C’mon, CFN, do not let this Leftist apologist make lies center place to this blog.

          • Paula D June 6, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

            I think that Trump could have used Twitter far more to his advantage. If he had explained his policies, instead of sniping at opponents, it would have been better.
            However I still am glad that he didn’t start any new wars, he tore up the TPP on his first day in office and he protected girls by signing a decree to keep boys out of their locker rooms and sports.
            I have no idea who bluedog thinks would have been better. Nickname aside, surely he doesn’t mean HRC?
            I voted for Jill Stein. Maybe he means her.

          • Paula D June 6, 2022 at 2:44 pm #

            It is possible that Trump DID use Twitter to discuss his policies and I just don’t know it because I am not on Twitter and the mockingbird media only talked about the sniping.
            If anyone knows, I would be interested.

          • Bilejones June 6, 2022 at 4:19 pm #

            The big thing Trump did that was instantly forgotten was to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
            This would have set up an unaccountable body under the control of global corporations able yo over-ride national sovereignty.
            The Paris accord was a mere bagatelle in comparison.

          Bluedog, that won’t work here. Every one of us could answer each of these charges, but it’s been done before and would be a waste of our time to try to keep telling someone who refuses to know. Whatever his failings, Trump did many things of value, and we could all list most of them. The most certain indicator that he isn’t part of the Deep State is to be seen clear as day in the myriad of ways they attempted to undo or block every single thing he did while in office, while pursuing him on a personal level with absurd lawsuits and impeachments. If you think that’s how the Deep State rewards those who serve it, you are even more confused than you appear to be.

            Whatever his failings, – Rowdy

            ===========

            Trump’s failings were/are twofold:

            1. His revolting narcissism

            2. His revolting New York accent of the Queens borough variety. (Bernie S. also has a revolting NY accent but it is from a different borough… Brooklyn) They could only be worse if they were from Staten Island or the Bronx. (Why do we always say THE Bronx?

        You know it’s bad when we have to point to Bill Maher as the voice of reason.

        • Rowdypiglet June 6, 2022 at 12:03 pm #

          Although I usually ignore him, I was really angered by Bill Maher’s rant about the lawlessness and ruination of San Francisco. Up to a point, everything he said was on target, but he just had to placate the lunatic left by dragging Trump into it at the end, knowing full well that Trump was not the one who allowed BLM to trash the city or enacted laws forbidding the arrest of criminals.

          We all know that if Trump had sent troops into these cities at the height of the riots, he would have been pilloried for that as well. I don’t mind calling out anyone for what they have actually done or failed to do. But to single someone out for blame no matter what they do (even things you would praise if someone else did them) is a characteristic of the left that is particularly loathesome.

          • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 12:46 pm #

            Yes. Maher pretends otherwise, but in the end he always bends the knee to PC.

            Some think what he’s really doing is warning the Left when they’ve gone too far…for now.

            The dial it back, but only for a period of time.

            Maher is not a stupid man, I don’t know what it is about Donald Trump that bothers him so.

            Maybe because Maher supported Barack Obama, so he has to keep up the pretense that at least his guy was better than Trump?

            His guy was a commie front man, bent on destroying America.

        You’re right, Walter B. It doesn’t matter if you believe or don’t believe in an actual personification of evil. If a description of the devil at work is also a complete and accurate description of present reality, your response must be the same as if the devil is real. And, whether the elite worship him or not, their actions are indistinguishable from those of someone who does worship him, and are therefore effectively the same.

There is irreconcilable hatred of some parts of the former country vs others, and between groups trapped in the ‘wrong’ part. It is only a matter of time before the midwest/southeast portion of the former USA forms its own new country (at least 10 states have secession committees now), and lets the rest of the former US form whatever entities it can patch together, or just turn into complete shitholes worse than they are now.

      Panarin’s theory

    • Blackbird June 6, 2022 at 10:20 am #

      If the US were a petri dish watched over by a disinterested researcher, then yes, secession would be a natural outcome to our current situation. But it isn’t.

      Everything is carefully stage managed. The fake “insurrection” and now the fake hearings that follow it are evidence that nothing is left to chance – or the people.

        Noting left to chance? The Russian SMO was outside the beltways wished-for outcomes. Then you have Gonzalo’s Lira’s view that mainland Europe will turn away from the US in order to survive since their economy simply cannot function without Russian energy and food. The notion of a sharp curtailment in US – west Europe interaction will have consequences of a type and extent I cannot predict.

        Goodle: Another Lira: What Happens To Europe When Russia Wins Saker

        • Blackbird June 7, 2022 at 1:11 am #

          I agree. Europe deserting the US is part of the plan.

          Complying with US sanctions will cripple Europe. Mostly peaceful immigrants will burn Europe to the ground to keep warm this winter unless Europe turns to Russia for life-support. I can see the governments of Europe letting that fire burn for awhile – as long as it is the immigrants and not the natives keeping warm. It will be interesting to see at what point Europe is allowed to abandon the US to wed itself to Eurasia. Europe is ruled by the Europeans no more than the US is ruled by its people.

      California and Oregon as a new nation state with the U.S. taking a corridor from the Mexican border to 75-100 miles north to keep San Diego as a naval base. Then an African American nation state in the south to the east of Texas to the Atlantic excluding parts of Florida but including the Carolinas and eastern Virginia and Maryland, Washington DC and Delaware. You want an ideological division of the US this will do it. 80% of Blacks vote democratic and soon most of the west coast does to. Compensation for people having to move could be more than generous for Property and effort and upheaval and could be done over 50-75 years or whatever number of years to ease transition. The still very large and powerful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA which will be more homogenous politically and ethnically since by then the southern border in Texas and to the west will be controlled as opposed to open.MY American utopiahttps://www.censusscope.org/us/map_nhblack.gif

      • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 11:59 am #

        Blacks get no part of Florida at all. The Hispanics take the southern part and can decide what to do with the Black non-Hispanics. The rest goes to Florida Man – or Whites. We keep the Gulf Coast entire, all the way to New Orleans. We have to keep SSL in the White.

        Maybe this White nation can join with White Texas. Maybe not.

      • Rowdypiglet June 6, 2022 at 12:13 pm #

        The division is not as you suggest. It is, in fact, blue cities versus red rural areas. If you look at it in that way, you realize how impossible such a division would be. Maine – for instance – is considered a blue state because of Portland and Augusta, but it’s decidedly red everywhere rural. This is true even of Vermont, which presents as red because of Burlington and the colleges; in the country, it’s firmly red. Same for rural Pennsylvania, which is pretty much the ideological opposite of Philadelphia.

        • beantownbill. June 6, 2022 at 1:02 pm #

          I agree with you. Your comments today are very good and make sense.

        • Jarek June 6, 2022 at 1:21 pm #

          Yes, a valid point. But in some places, the blue extends well beyond the cities – as in Southern New England. In some places, the cities form megaplexuses and extend a long way – such as the East Coast down from Boston to Washington. Or the Seattle megaplex.

          In other places, the cut off is quite sharp. Illinois is a red state dominated by Chicago. Pennsylvania is a midwestern state dominated by the East Coast megaplex, aided by a few other large cities.

            I meant to say Vermont was blue except for Burlington and the Colleges. But yes – Boston has eaten the surrounding areas. Anyway, my point was that the lines would be impossible to draw in a way that would satisfy anyone, with the possible exception of carving off a part of California or Oregon.

          I really get tired of everyone just handing the South over to blacks. It is as you say Piglet. Separate the urban areas from Georgia and it’s as red as it gets and that includes a large portion of blacks.

          What’s to be done with the white trash component? There is no giving areas away to this one and that one. If we make it real uncomfortable the sorry assed ones can just move. I’m not giving one inch of my home.

          • cbeard June 7, 2022 at 6:48 am #

            I whole heartedly agree farmgal. I don’t like the idea of handing the South over to blacks either. I am a bred, born and raised Georgia boy and I love the South, even the heat and humidity. Like minded people must band together and work for a common future. Whatever happens, it is going to be hard, maybe impossible, but it will take a lot of cold, hard, steely resolve and may even somehow include some blacks in the scenario, but with the current racial climate, I don’t see how.

          • MimiTN June 7, 2022 at 4:12 pm #

            Amen. Tennessee has 95 counties, 93 of which are deep red, two are blue: Memphis and Nashville.

          • Amman June 8, 2022 at 9:45 am #

            Nobody is handing anything to blacks. They were in America 150 years before the Non-Latin, Anglo Europeans arrived in Jamestown. And 400 years before the dumb eastern Slavic f-cks arrived. You better recognize your estimation of their rights and status.

        • Anthea June 8, 2022 at 10:26 am #

          The main difficulty involved in secession is that every state’s urban areas constitute a “fifth column.” And there is a lot of federal-government dependency, even in rural areas. Think: ag subsidies, government employment, social security, and welfare.

          My area is in the exurbs of Kansas City. It appears to me that an awful lot of its more affluent residents are government employees/retirees. It is also helpful to remember that a true “private sector” scarcely exists any more.

          If Missouri were to secede, almost all that federal money goes away: no welfare, no food stamps, no ag subsidies, no businesses subsidies, no federal funding for schools (which would cut school funding roughly in half), local governments, and medical care. Theoretically, the social security checks would keep coming, but I can see those being cut off as a punitive measure.

          The whole state would be plunged into chaos.

    • Hereward the Woke June 6, 2022 at 2:26 pm #

      Agreed, Neuro. Even if conservatives capture all the high ground in ’24, it won’t change a thing because 50% of the nation will still hate everything America stands for. I cannot see any other option but some kind of secession. I don’t see it being peaceful, either, because leftists don’t understand “live and let live”.

    The hearings will only serve to further polarize an already divided populace.

    When I read of possible 2nd amendment revisions/eliminations, I am not comforted by the fact that this hearing even exists, the encouragement of riots fomented by the storm troops of the left, and the forced vaccinations.

    Yes, murder is horrible but don’t restrict the rights of the 99.999% because a literal handful of deranged individuals are not checked by their own families/society.

    If we lose the 2nd, there is nothing standing in the way of some REAL authoritarianism…folks on the left don’t believe that they benefit from that scimitar hanging over the heads of our “leaders” but they do.

    You people worry too much. The US wasn’t going to last forever; the only variables were when and how. Well, now we know: the when is now, and the how is playing out as we type.

    Whites are concentrating in Trump states/counties, and blue zones are open to a flood of immigrants. Overshoot, depletion and degradation have set the framework for scarcity, exposing the rot of 100 year surplus.

    Knowing full well the coming collapse, the unitary is attempting to utilize the existing federal apparatus to implement control and restraint systems to help them maintain power.

    Traditional independent Americans will decide those conditions are unacceptable, and will move to resist such orders and mandates. The conclusion is as obvious as it is/was inevitable.

      You inform us that we worry too much, and then set out a list of undeniably real things that any sane person would worry about. I’m not at all convinced that these purported “traditional independent Americans” in whose existence you believe will put up a serious resistance when they have not done so thus far. It’s a bit late to resist when you’re on your way to the re-education camp. You also forget (not that you would care) that a possibly high percentage of people who comment here are past an age where we’re still active out in the wider world. I suppose you consider anyone past a certain age as a useless eater anyway, but you may feel differently when you reach that age yourself (if you do).

    • Anthea June 6, 2022 at 11:52 pm #

      Ah, but how will they move to resist?

      Individuals and families will resist with whatever means are available to them in their particular circumstances, so the forms of resistance will be highly variable.

      The simplest option, and the one that will cause the least upheaval, is to simply refuse to comply, and there are many parts of the US where this is and will continue to be feasible. If it gets to where it’s no longer feasible, you might have to figure out whether it’s feasible to move to somewhere where it IS feasible.

      I just got back from a trip to Morgan County Seeds, an Amish-run seed and garden supply store in Barnett, Missouri, which is well into Amish country amidst a solidly Germanic population. It’s a different world down there. But I suppose that, like the Holy Spirit, the Satanic spirit “bloweth where it listeth,” and even the most peaceful, fruitful, and verdant of worlds may be blighted.

      There may or may not be a safe haven–somewhere.

      Would I fight for my home? That would depend on whom I was fighting. Thieves? The county sheriff? The US army? It would also depend on my estimate of the likelihood of winning–which would depend on dozens of other factors.

      If I didn’t believe I could win, I would “get out of Dodge”–with an eye to making a well planned and well executed exit to a more promising location–preferably with my worldly goods as intact as possible.

      Millions of people would be making these same calculations, based on millions of unique circumstances. The conclusion is thus neither obvious nor inevitable.

      The historical recklessness of the Chinese tends to work both for and against them. You hear of the business successes of the diaspora, now marshaled by the PRC into improbable corners like Argentina and Angola; Chinese adventurers suffer catastrophic failures as well. But they roll with them.

      Maoism dampened such exuberance for several decades, or rather channeled it into worship of a defective dictator. Once the native entrepreneurial spirit of a gambling race was let loose, under Done Shopping, they went to town and stoked up the China we see today – not to mention the great fortunes of the overseas Chinese – something like “a cloud of floating trillions” to [mis]-quote the erudite and brilliant Sterling Seagrave in LORDS OF THE RIM.

      One main reason they are able to steamroller over more cautious (prudent) local peoples wherever they set up shop is a willingness to go big or go bust. The chase is the point.

    Those trying desperately to steer and contain the culture into a timeline of their making will find the premier and run of their “Jan 6” show a big failure.

    Along with this not mattering to many the fact is very few people watch tv these days. Also summer is nearly here and the opportunity to block out the political static will be too enticing.

    The controllers know they’re in a different climate and atmosphere yet they don’t know how to do anything different then they’ve always done. It’s why things are so obvious to us. It’s why things seem so weird.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    Situational Awareness, this AM reports;

    JAN 6 PRIMETIME SHOW WANTS TO OVERHAUL VOTING: The House committee investigating the Jan 6 Capitol Hill protest is struggling to reach a consensus on their recommendations. Instead, lawmakers will use their highly produced primetime broadcast to reintroduce abolishing the electoral college, overhaul the Electoral Count Act, pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and the For the People Act. Rep. Cheney (R-WY) said the committee risks losing credibility by suggesting outlandish responses. – D.M.

    Hmmm…abolish the Electoral College..overhaul the Electoral Count Act, and pass t he John Lewis Voting Rights act

    …What could possibly go wrong?

    I’ve mentioned it before, Mr. Kunstler is known to the mainstream, if he can get this good a grip on current events, what is wrong the the MSM?

    Here is Emerald Robinson’s take:

    “The problem with American corporate journalism today is that its “reporters” are the least curious people on earth. They do no homework. They fact-check nothing. They have no subject expertise in any field. They’re cowards who write with the constant fear that one stray sentence about a Democrat politician can end their career. Facts don’t matter to them — if they lead to an inconvenient ideological outcome.”

    In today’s political environment, one wonders if Britney Spears could even come out today with a song entitled “I’m A Slave 4 U”. Since the Dixie Chicks changed their name to simply The Chicks, then I guarantee this would be a foregone conclusion.

    This is likely why this Britney song does not seem to get play time on the radio stations anymore.

    Judeo/Christian Old Testament predates all the Johnny-come-lately philosophic writings; notably, carried through from Mosaic times (Pentateuch) via strict protocols for copy scribes. See the ‘Isaiah Scroll’ account in the “Dead Sea Scroll” narrative.

    In O.T book of Daniel see chapter 4 mention of “Great Tree”, analogous to the exemplary influence of New World/USA founding documents on the affairs of mankind. Note “Great Tree” brought to edge of destruction in Chapter 4 RSV translation. Certainly looks like USA is in such a precarious state about now. Then look at Deuteronomy Chapter 28, verses 14-15, giving account of transition from a blessed to a cursed period. Shedding innocent blood… Food Distribution is a harbinger and means of removing populations leaving intact infrastructure. Food district branch rail lines removed during mid-20th Century are an existential missing link.

    Daniel 4 v-15 tree narrative describes bands of Iron preserving the tree roots from complete destruction, permitting eventual return to intact viability. Railways. Interesting commentary and papers from such EMP savants as Richard Clarke; Anthony Cordesman and most recent piece by Strategic Magnetic Pulse expert Peter Vincent Pry relate current rogues gallery of dictators intend USA Famine. Famine for the USA is a common thread in Dictators’ native language speeches and their military leadership policy paper. See Der Putin EP threat last month against EU Headquarters in Brussels. These things are happening -not hyperbole!

    Forget the hearts and minds. When inflation goes off the charts, people ALWAYS vote with their wallets.

The purple gang in the middle will vote with their pocketbooks when Biden’s handlers ( Obama & Co.) do this much damage.

    • Rowdypiglet June 6, 2022 at 1:13 pm #

      It would be ironic if we were saved by our love of comfort and desire for money, but this thought does give me hope that we won’t put up with this indefinitely. People really won’t choose lining the pockets of the Biden family (disguised as liberating Ukraine) over their own lives. When they can’t afford a place to live, cannot keep warm in winter or afford to eat, they’ll do more than attempt to vote them out or remove the stupid little Ukraine flags from their twitter profiles. Even people who seem totally inert will perk up surprisingly and do all sorts of unlikely things when they get sufficiently scared and hungry.

        I think they are far less likely to revolt than to go on a looting and rioting spree. They’ll target stores until the stores are empty, and then they’ll target their neighbors. And after that they’ll target their increasingly distant neighbors.

        You are very unlikely to see leftists embrace “The Gods of the Copybook Headings,” when politics, to them, are nothing more or less than a mechanism for stealing other people’s stuff. When they’re scared and hungry, other people’s stuff will be far more attractive to them than politicians’ promises.

    Americans are so degraded. People today just don’t have the toughness, grit, mettle, and high survival potential that they had in the past. I guess character, virtue, integrity, et al all slowly erode away as the new generations of humanity come onto the planet.

      A few weeks ago in the Middletown area an old guy showed up at the local police station and enquired about getting a serial # for a gun he and his grandson were building. Instead of giving advice the Chief applied for a search warrant and raided the property with SWAT — and found the ‘Ghost Gun’, which the local media breathlessly reported. At one time most everybody had a workshop on their property where you’d see them repairing and tinkering with things. Or you’d see them on their small farms tending to their livestock and truck gardens. Now all the farms are gone, turned into strip malls and suburban housing tracts. And having a small machine shop or forge at your place makes you a suspect. You can drive around suburban neighborhoods even on a beautiful day like today and not see one human being. Where is everybody?

      Q. Shtik:

      There are a LOT of people like Peter around, and it’s unfortunate when you have to live with one of them. It’s unfortunate when you even have to live next door to one of them. Good-naturred drunks and pot-heads are very good neighbors compared to autists, tweakers, Karens and other officious types, some retards, and people who are off their meds. In the case of people who are on prescription opiates, these are not unpleasant; you just can’t have a conversation with them.

      Many years ago, an old friend told me she was leaving her husband and asked if she and her two kids could stay with me. About a month later, her husband also moved in, and the whole crew stayed for another month.

      My friend was not an easy person to live with, but she pulled her weight around the house. She took over all the cooking (fearing, I think, that she would starve on the type of fare my family normally ate), and could manage all five of the kids with ease, if I wasn’t there, and even get them to doing chores of various kinds.

      The husband was another story. I gave considerable thought to what tasks I could assign him, so that he could make some contribution to the household. Finally I decided that he could probably cut firewood. He did cut most of it to the right length, but unaccountably decided to cut quite a bit of it so that it wouldn’t fit in the wood stove.

      I quickly found work for the wife, but the husband was essentially unemployable. He also talked non-stop. He could talk without ever pausing to take a breath. Since I normally had other things to do besides listen to someone talk, I would look for an opening to excuse myself–to start dinner, do dishes, pick up kids from school, etc. No such pause ever occurred. I trained myself to overcome my innate good manners and just get up and walk out of the room without a word of explanation. (The expression on his face the first time I did this was priceless.)

      Other people’s kids also have habits that are hard to put up with. My friend’s two kids threw their towels on the floor after showering, instead of hanging them up. I introduced a system of assigned personal towels. Everyone in the household was allotted two towels to last them until the next washday. If they threw theirs on the floor, they were going to have to dry themselves with a stinky towel for the rest of the week.

      The whole family also walked like elephants. You’d be surprised how much that can irritate you, especially when Mom is a very big girl.

      I forgot what my point was, other than to say that I sympathize. And to tell you the truth, I think that Peter is not all that atypical of the humans at large in the world. (I am pretty sure of this, in fact.)

      A little over two years ago, my daughter and her husband bought the house next door to theirs, as it was offered to them for quite a bargain price, and they were on reasonably friendly terms with these neighbors. They had never seen the inside–and did not until closing. When they finally did see the interior, they found it unbelievable that anyone could live like that. And this was a couple who both had always held decent jobs and a daughter who had recently departed for college.

      There are many, many people out there whose mere survival to adulthood is amazing. I suppose many of them manage because they have a spouse to look after them, who won’t let them pee in the kitchen sink.

        There are a LOT of people like Peter around, – Anthea

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

        I hate contemplating the thought that this^ is true but I suspect you are right. I think we are all flawed in some way and that when we know we will be dealing with other people we don a facade of normality. Peter owns one of these facades and he puts it on when he goes to a wake. Wow, I think to myself, if that person Peter is talking to only knew the REAL Peter that lies beneath the veneer.

        As to people who talk and NEVER shut up………. yeah, they are a curse on humanity. I have known a few. My wife has a cousin in Denver whose husband never stops talking. It’s amazing. It’s a phenomenon to behold.

        I was the superior in charge of a woman named Bobbie L. Once she got your attention you were doomed. I had a buddy who realized how Bobbie was driving me insane and we devised a plan to nip it in the bud. He would call me on the phone, I’d answer, jump up and dash out of the office, allegedly to an important meeting.

    The mental image of Drag Queen Shows sponsored by the US Military at European bases made my mind wander to the gay pride flags flown by US embassies thence to the BLM flag flown by the same embassies and the thought struck:

    How about a “Fuck The EU” flag?

    The next thought was whether any European leaders would notice.

    Speaking of shows, what are the chances that Americans will recognize this ‘show” for what it is:

    A show trial.

    “a judicial trial held in public with the intention of influencing or satisfying public opinion, rather than of ensuring justice.”

    Will that term, and that idea, penetrate the American skull?

    In a few months, the living conditions in the US will be in far worse shape. Perhaps history will repeat itself and a political candidate will appear, winning the hearts and minds of the majority with the following campaign promises:

    This man would pledge to create prosperity, eliminate civil disorder by crushing strikes and street demonstrations instigated by radical groups, arrest and prosecute treasonous politicians, reinstate the death penalty, round up millions of criminals and other undesirables and put them in concentration camps to await execution and use military aggression to restore the US to its previous status as a world power.

    When I woke up this morning, I lay in bed feeling very angry. I was angry about stuff going on in my condo complex that I didn’t like, I was angry about what’s going in the world, I was angry at not being able to exercise as I am recuperating, and burn off energy, I wanted to sue my condo complex and so on.

    Then I thought if me, the supposedly reasonable one, can feel this angry, then how worked up are millions of others I don’t even know? I understood then why all this violence is occurring. The world is very frustrated, with no real outlet. It is a pressure cooker that can’t be turned off. Pretty soon there’ll be a massive pressure-relief explosion; then the resulting mess will be cleaned up and frustrations released.

    BTW, I feel like my normal self now, but I wonder if all I’m doing is burying the anger, and that someday I will become the Yellowstone caldera.

    • Hereward the Woke June 6, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

      Bean, sorry, but I don’t see any anger. What I see is people living life as usual, totally oblivious to the steamroller heading their way. Continuity bias is real. The waking up will be brutal.

      • beantownbill. June 6, 2022 at 4:05 pm #

        The anger is there, but it’s probably buried inside people and is not obvious to the bystander. Wait until they miss a few meals; you’ll see anger (really, fear) like you wouldn’t believe. I hope it never comes to that.

    • elysianfield June 6, 2022 at 3:17 pm #

    Who ever would have thought that the times we spent paying a mere $3.00 for a gallon of gas a few months ago would be deemed the good ol’ days? I look back on those days fondly, for tomorrow it will be even worse.

    Much like the idiots that believed in paying more for fuel because it was the right thing to do for the Ukraine, I argue that it is our privilege and duty to keep paying more and higher costs for everything in order to give support to over throwing the evil Democrats and the Biden regime come November.

      I hear Biden plans on rescuing a large number of student loan debt holders.

      Ironic, because he’s a large part of the reason so many are mired in that debt.

      • BackRowHeckler June 6, 2022 at 2:02 pm #

        I paid my student loan off to the penny. I’m wondering if I’ll get a refund or at least a tax credit?

        Or am I just a goddam sucker?

        • Beryl of Oyl June 6, 2022 at 2:48 pm #

          Apparently, those who diligently kept on paying during the ‘pause’ didn’t get a break on the interest accruing. Some thought it was an opportunity to get ahead.

          • Paula D June 6, 2022 at 3:17 pm #

            Exactly. I know more than one who have already paid off more than they borrowed, but still owe more than they borrowed. They pay and pay, but the amount keeps rising.
            Don’t know how to explain it better, because it is too absurd to understand.

          • cowbell81 June 6, 2022 at 3:48 pm #

            They are slaves to the compounding interest. And once you get close to paying it back they will find new fees to tack on.

          • Blackbird June 7, 2022 at 12:10 am #

            The Rule of 72.

            Divide 72 by the interest rate on your loan. The result is the number of years for the interest paid to equal the principle of the loan.

            If your loan has an interest rate of 6%, then it takes 12 years (72 /6) for your interest paid to equal your original principle. Take 24 years to pay off that loan, and guess what? Yup, you paid twice as much in interest as you originally borrowed.

            It will be deducted from your social security, should it come to that.

        What I read is that Biden plans on wasting a lot of money by giving $5k of student loan forgiveness to everyone still making payments on student loans. If you’re behind and not making payments, well, you’re screwed. And if you are one of millions who are paying off a student loan bigger than a house, well, the Big Guy will pay to paint the shutters, but he ain’t about to take that empty house off your back.

        A small rebate to those who pay regularly. Nothing to undo the damage caused to many individuals, and to the economy as a whole, by the student loan racket.

        Biden was instrumental in making student loan debt exempt from bankruptcy. He will not undo one of his great accomplishments.

    “The unravelling of the USA gets its summer steroid booster shot this Thursday when the political twerk-fest known as the January 6th Select Committee commences prime-time televising of its inquiry into the so-called “insurrection”…”

    Perhaps They should begin the proceedings by stipulating that there is nothing ‘Select’ about this ‘Committee’ and that there was no such thing on that day as ‘insurrection’. But no, They won’t do that because that destroys the house-of-cards narrative They have so tirelessly worked to promote to bully the American people into utter shame for daring to question the fiasco and stench that surrounds the very stinky 2020 election.

    “The objectives of this extravaganza are… to paint former president Donald Trump as an instigator of the uproar and an enemy-of-the-people…”

    I have a better idea. Since the purpose of this Committee is solely to pummel the memory of a former US President, They need to simplify these ‘proceedings’…

    Since Mr. Trump is the object for which all the ills of the Universe is being assessed blame for…

    Just create a GREAT BIG PINATA of Himself and place it in the middle of the ’Committee’ chambers. Let the ‘Esteemed Members’ of ‘The Committee’ take turns wielding a HUGE stick and wailing-away taking swings at the Big Arrogant Orange Face that hangs ominously over ‘These Sacred Spaces’ of ‘This Esteemed Committee’.

    This performance will be exceedingly more fun to watch than the predictable dead and boring speeches leading to the well-pre-determined outcome that ‘This Horrible Man Is… Horrible!’.

    And maybe we can save some money on the light bill for the Chambers and quickly send that money to all Those Brave Freedom Fighters Protecting Our Nation’s Freedom From Those Nasty Viet Cong in Eastern Ukraine. Or the Huns, or whatever Our Heroes are fighting over there.

    This ‘Selected Committee’ is yet another Kangaroo Court fully funded by We-The-People-Who-Are-Going-Broke-Paying-For-Gas-And-Food-And Lodging-And-Medical-Care-And…

    And since ‘The Esteemed Members Of This Select Committee’ are mimicking the behavior of Kangaroos… let’s be sure there are plenty of Congressional Staff on hand to feed those Members a good selection of tasty grasses and vegetation on Their way out of Those Esteemed Chambers after beating the crap out of that defenseless Orange Pinata.

    “Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?”

    Our Nation is fully lost in the Fog of Endless War while drowning itself in a Sea of Wokeism-Gone-Wild. In a Culture that is Cancel-Culturing itself to death and erasure.

    Some might say… get your popcorn ready. But popcorn is getting scarce and expensive.

    Maybe they’ll have some of that grass and vegetation left over that we could forage? YUM YUM…

    @JAZ et al:

    I know you like Trump, and I know your heart’s in the right place. But how can you extol someone who turns a blind eye to the sufferings of people who supported him? The 1/6 “resurrectionists” have been illegally imprisoned and tortured. Trump hasn’t done anything to help them, as far as I know. Their treatment should be a national scandal. IMO, any good that Trump did has been negated many times over by his apparent lack of concern about them. Just sayin’.

          Exactly. If Trump gave a damn about his supporters, he would have started saying something – hell, doing something, he was still President – on January 6. And he would have kept saying/doing it until those improperly imprisoned for the events of that day are released – and those improperly not imprisoned are arrested. Instead he walked away as if unaware of the events he had put in motion. Sure can’t wait for Trump to save us again.

          • cbeard June 8, 2022 at 7:44 am #

            Though Trump and his presidency was a much needed wake up call to some Americans, he is a classic example of a malignant narcissist. People with such a mental defect cannot function as as most people do. Everything they think, say or do is all about themselves and themselves only. Nothing, not family, friends, country, god absolutely nothing else matters to them and they do not have a clue and cannot be convinced that they have a problem. They are perfect creations who can do no wrong.

      • Hereward the Woke June 6, 2022 at 2:46 pm #

        You know what Trump is doing because he tells you. So far, he has said next to nothing about the J6 people whom he incited into stupid acts. Nor has he spoken out about the death shot.

      I don’t actually like Trump. He’s a flawed character, and his ego is probably his biggest fault. He failed to do some things that he probably could have done – I say “probably” because every single thing he attempted to do was attacked in every way possible. If I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I could say that he just made a realistic assessment of what actions he might get away with (at least, for a time) and what just wouldn’t fly. If I want to be cynical, I’d just say that he lacked sufficient courage and fortitude to do what he should have done. Still – I’m perfectly willing to give him credit for what he did do (which was actually quite a lot) and to acknowledge that he was beset like no other president in the history of this country. I don’t think that’s extolling him.

    • Night Owl June 7, 2022 at 2:10 pm #

      I actually kind of agree with Bill.

      Trump still thinks he can take control by staying within the superficial lines of the system. He avoids being too controversial

      He’s going to have to put more on the line at some point. The psychopaths tearing down the country and pushing the Great Reset will never give up, because they are too far along to stop.

    Of course they did! It’s PRIDE month! Maybe by 2023, it’ll be PRIDE YEAR! I can see it now: The gays who won’t get on board with the child grooming will be expunged from their own movement, as the trans agenda freaks move in and take it over 100% (they’re already about 70% of the way there).

        I recall Brittany “taking a knee” at the playing of the National Anthem before WNBA games; I wonder, at 4:00 am revellie at Camp Anthracite in the Vorkuta Gulag … does Brittany get down on one knee when the Russian flag is being hoisted and the Russian National Anthem played? Or does she snap to attention?

      ” It’s PRIDE month!”

      I notice that a lot of events in the local events calander that in the past would have just been, say, “barn dance”: “sing-along”; whatever, are now designated as “Pride” events—just because, I assume, they take place in June.

      June has been taken over! By fiat!

      Is it going to be “Pride high school graduation”?
      Probably. We’ll soon find out. I have two great-nephews graduating from the high school. I await with baited (or is that bated) breath finding out whether they can get through the ceremony without mentioning “pride” or any other gender crap.

      • Islander June 6, 2022 at 1:45 pm #

      • BackRowHeckler June 6, 2022 at 1:57 pm #

        Funny you mentioned that Islander.

        We are going to a HS Graduation ceremony this afternoon at a small rural district west of here; I have already been warned by a nephew to prepare myself for a “Pride Themed Event.” I’m not sure what to expect. It might be like a few years ago when another niece graduated from Trinity College in Hartford. At that graduation, the theme was ‘Africa’. There was African Decor in the hall, and everyone involved — graduates, staff, profs — wore a fake lepoardskin around their necks. The African imagery didn’t seem to be connected to the goings on — Trinity started out as a school for Methodist ministers in the mid 19th century. No explanation was given; they probably figured none was needed.

    I remember Obama telling us that the American worker must become more ”competitive” with the rest of the world.
    He framed it as enticing young people to go to college, even though it was already obvious back then that the “higher education” system was a scam between the banks and the colleges to ensnare teenagers into lifelong debt servitude. Tut I took it as an announcement that US wages and living standards would be driven down to match the 3rd world and I was proven more accurate.
    And so it continues now.

        Mary, you may remember I said I had an old school class mate who’d had covid in 2020 (so had immunity) and went on to have two unnecessary jabs (now three). A couple of months after the second one she had a heart attack. She survived because the helimed team were already there when she arrested and they put her into a coma. She’s the one who told me my mental health wasn’t what it should be because of the ‘conspiracy theories’ I was into. I saw on Facebook (I look occasionally to see if they’re OK) that her husband’s brother recently ‘died suddenly’ at 74. Her comment was ’74 is nothing these days – guys, look after yourselves’.

        A few years previously they’d invited me to join a WhatsApp group – otherwise I hadn’t seen them, apart from one who’d been my best friend at school, for fifty years. I tried to warn them, when the boosters started, then again when the jabbing of kids started, because I knew at least one had grandchildren. Nobody wanted to know, except one who said to send her some information. I sent her heaps of it, and I presume she ignored it all, after asking for it, because nothing further was said until my second warning over the kids.

        The one who’d had the heart attack (I hadn’t told her why she’d had it) claimed she used to work as a research consultant and came back with confirmation that all was well from some articles by Factcheck.com. Although one has been in contact with me since, I withdrew from the WhatsApp group, as I just found it frustrating.

        Three of the other four are really fit and sporty, even at 70 – into hillwalking, cycling, and in one case horseriding.

        I just got a message this morning to say that the (really fit) one who was my bestie at school – although I haven’t seen her since my kids were small – has just died of a heart attack, a couple of days before her 70th birthday. She never regained consciousness. Her mother is still alive in her 90s, which I think she could otherwise have expected for herself. She was a science teacher. The last thing she said to me before I withdrew from the group was ‘sorry, [Alba]. l”m all for vaccination’.

        So that’s two heart attacks before age 70 out of a group of six people, plus a brother in law, plus my husband (almost). I am at a loss to know what to say to people like that who won’t listen. It’s like having to deal with half a dozen Redneck Liberals.

        • Jarek June 7, 2022 at 12:31 pm #

          • GreenAlba June 7, 2022 at 1:14 pm #

            Actually, no, it seems there were two brothers in law who ‘died suddenly’ – one at 74 and another at 67. And their families are still asleep.

          • Jarek June 7, 2022 at 4:57 pm #

            Not all people who take the vaccine have problems. Just like not all Blacks or Muslims are criminals. And not all Gays are pervs, pedophlles, or sex addicts.

            This is your pov of view, remember? And since it’s not all, there is no problem, right?

            That’s seems to be what you’ve been saying to me – if not overtly, then by implication – for years now. You often don’t go into it, you just say “Not all”. And since you don’t say any more, the implication is that there is therefore no problem outside of my imagination or “dark filter” (or whatever it was you said the other day).

            But of course there are problems with these groups, big ones. As there is with the vaccine.

          I do a lot of activism, but I know my family and woke friends will scorn and mock me if I try to get anything to them warning-wise (I did start to, but the mocking put an end to that). So, if they ruin their health or kill themselves with jabs it’s not my problem, although it will be incredibly tragic.

          Frustrating is not even the word – it’s so beyond that. ANd then when you are proved right, they STILL are angry at you, I’m guessing. “Oh it would have been worse if (she) had not gotten the jab!” Oh really? So now, covid19 is a heart attack? I thought that it was a bad cold.

          In any case, I admire those of you who really work on your families and friends. I gave up early. I do other stuff, but it’s not the same.

          Of course it does not. It is the APPEARANCE of trustworthyness that counts.

    Per S.D. Gov. Noem:

    “Congress needs to exercise its Article I power of the Constitution and hold hearings to investigate the security of America’s food supply. We need our trade agreements honored and antitrust laws enforced. We need policies that prioritize domestic production. We need to ensure that America’s food can’t be held hostage by anyone.”

    Per Cowbell: Too late, Congress is much too busy to be bothered by such trivialities. After all, they have the Jan. 6th riots to get to the bottom of! Go ahead all ye esteemed Congress people, keep on fiddling while Rome burns.

        That’s OK, then. When I am eventually refused food because I won’t take any more clot shots, it will be a business that refuses my digital ID, not the government. That’s all right then. It’s not like corporations have been working hand in glove with governments or anything sinister like that.

            “When I am eventually refused food because I won’t take any more clot shots, it will be a business that refuses my digital ID, not the government.

            Where’s the evidence of this prospect? As I see it, your statement (above) IS evidence – of delusional thinking, having hung around too long with agents of disinformation who have relentlessly chipped away at your previously logical thinking. Too bad.

            So, RL, when your local supermarkets demand that you pay using a fingerprint or facial recognition, like the criminal you are just for existing, will you comply? That’s what Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Lidl and Morrison’s have announced here.

            Will you take a jab of a mystery substance if they say you have to in order to buy groceries? Or an implant?

            In WA, the powers that be are frustrated that the covid pass isn’t needed anymore, so they’re racking their brains for functions to attach to it to control people with. And you think that’s fine? I though WA was the relaxed bit of Australia, but when push comes to shove, it might as well be Victoria.

            A question and a point for you…

            Q: Where’d you get THAT particular piece of misinformation from? (That is, I suppose, some remark by someone somewhere sometime has since been spun into the above sentence of conspiratorial nature – look at all the pointers in it.)

            Point: Australia is probably the most regulated jurisdiction in history. Try opening a “.com.au” web address to find out just how bad it is. But aside from that, this is the WA State government you’re complaining about. Its COVID response was so much more draconian than anywhere else (with the possible exception of China) and it has only just opened up and appears to be very happy to have done so.

      • Paula D June 7, 2022 at 7:13 pm #

        RL perfectly illustrates Blackbird’s (above) point.
        They roll out repression on step at a time. At fist the more freedom-loving people object, but then they get used to it.
        And people like RL sneer “So what if I am spied upon by the government, I accept it completely when corporations do it so what’s the difference?”
        That is how freedom dies, one step at a time, applauded by the enthusiastically submissive among us.

            @ Narc Troll – no, ’twas thee who mentioned it (“abuse”) first.

            AS to yers (of whom I’ve never heard before), clearly he’s an arsehole. Good to know that the system finds and punishes ACTUAL voter fraud, rather than the imaginary stuff.

            A summary of his crimes is:

            Federal prosecutors said Myers orchestrated schemes to fraudulently stuff ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Pennsylvania elections.

            Local State elections…not the 2020 Federal election. So what’s your point?

            And this from today’s news, all fresh and everything:

            “TROY, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York Republican is being forced out of her city council post after pleading guilty to three federal counts of voter fraud and amid unfounded assertions across the country — mostly by some in the GOP — of widespread elections tampering.

            The case involving Troy City Councilmember Kimberly McPherson, who represents a community northeast of Albany, the state capital, is one just few instances of documented voter fraud.

            Some Republicans have falsely charged that the 2000 presidential election was rigged in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.

            As part of a plea deal, McPherson admitted to fraudulently casting an absentee ballot in last year’s primary election and two such ballots in the general election. McPherson’s name appeared on both ballots. She admitted to illegally filing absentee ballots in the names of two other voters.

          • Paula D June 8, 2022 at 9:10 pm #

            RL quotes approvingly:

            RL then says:

            ”What people like me remark upon is just how fucking deluded you lot have become”

            You accept repression and then claim that we are “deluded” for opposing it.

            “You accept repression and then claim that we are “deluded” for opposing it.

            Oh, please…that’s a more threadbare strawman than the Narc Troll throws up.

            Firstly, it’s you who characterises it as ‘repression’ and then secondly, you virtue-signal yourself as ‘opposing’ it. Just how effectively have you been opposing ‘it’, this imagined ‘repression’? Your most recent victory in precis form will suffice.

            I take it that you do actually give a shit, GA, but I’ve been down the rabbit hole. I remember what it is like and I have zero desire to get sucked back into the crazy shit hole that it, in fact, is.

            Just read your own language now. Is there any objectivity left? Where once you asked for proof from the Disinformation Agent Extraordinaire, Narc Troll, you’re now a bosom pal.

            That harridan wench from Idaho is likewise a new bestie.

            I do note that you keep your observations to Covid & the vaccines, so you’re probably not as nutty as the rest…yet. But if you ever start thinking Trump was an okay guy, then you’ll know the infection has got a full grip on you.

            RL – You still can’t get over the fact that I used to argue with Night Owl and Mary and have now found common cause, You shouldn’t take it so personally – in a world of people who think and learn, it’s not an unknown phenomenon, even outside of covid.

            Sometimes it goes the other way, and you get someone like Chomsky, who used to understand how corrupt organisations work and believe in freedom, now wants unvaxxed people subjected to medical apartheid, even though everyone not living under a rock knows that the vaxxes don’t stop you transmitting covid. And even though you’re twice as like to get it and die from it if you’re fully vaxxed than if you’re completely unvaxxed (the scientific paper I linked to will help you with that one).

            I have to say it’s funny hearing someone with their head buried in the sand tell other people they’re down a rabbit hole. I’m not sure why an ostrich hole is better.

    All I can say to this is that for the very first election of my adult life, I intend to vote straight-ticket Republican, although like a lot of voters, the only race in which my vote is likely to make a difference are the statewide US senator and governor races, on account of the whole country being well and truly gerrymandered to the nines at this point.

    Sure, the Republicans could accelerate the collapse with the Randroid “reverse Robin Hood” policies they seem to favor, but at least that will be a collapse rather less seasoned with a generous dose of mass formation psychosis and rather more predictable in nature. Still, I will be keeping in mind when I fill out my ballot at City Hall in late October that fragrant cliche “Be careful for what you wish, you may just get it.”

    Trump on his worst day, is a thousand percent better than the nincompoops that are running DC right now.

    A vote for the Dems is a vote against the continuation of 20th century America and for the installation of the WEF into mainstream America.

    Criticize him for some of his actions, believe all the BS the MSM has made up about him, he is still head and shoulders above anyone in DC. Right now, with maybe a few exceptions, he is the only one dedicated to keeping the “c” in America.

    • SoftStarLight June 7, 2022 at 2:54 am #

      Hmmm I see ? ? Couldn’t it be concluded that a vote for the Dems is a continuation of 20th century America actually. Was it not because of their total consolidation of essentially all institutional power in the 20th century and on why we find ourselves here now?

      • JohnAZ June 7, 2022 at 10:43 am #

          Well the Clinton’s as an example appear to have developed a bureaucratic empire with tentacles throughout apparently every level of government and media and that was happening in the 90s so I’m not sure I can completely come into congruence with your assertion but I do agree in the sense that Bush and particularly Obama sort of completely flipped the switch so that there is no longer even the appearance of a balanced system.

          • SoftStarLight June 7, 2022 at 4:18 pm #

            Clintons I meant. Actually I just have to say if I may that really Bill should have been utilized as the face of all of this. He was actually likable and relatable from what I recall. So many people were enamored with Obama and I just never could come into an understanding of that. I guess the counter messaging to his messaging reached me and made a big difference as I was forming opinions about him. Ultimately when I see his face I think of the anti-Christ look alike from the documentary or that movie from back at the time where everyone was like omg look it’s Obama and he is the devil. I don’t know if you remember that but I just think uggh AC is in the house when Obama’s face would pop up.

            If you say so. Actually I can’t in good faith say that I’m not given over to a changeable tempermentality. But I also must say that your critique is very interesting given that I cannot provide unquestionable data to support my conjectures.

            I lectured Rednut on this technique back during the Ukraine phone call hearings, when he could not distinguish between hearsay and evidence in the legal sense.

            The part he still doesn’t understand is that the use of this technique in hard news reporting makes a mockery of that news reporting, hence my designation of the corporate news collective as the McMedia, whereas its use in informal discussion or even an op-ed, is something entirely different.

            That is how things go when one is of low intelligence.

            sounds a lot like

            “I lectured Rednut on this technique back during the Ukraine phone call hearings, when he could not distinguish between hearsay and evidence in the legal sense.

            Your sense of superiority is palpable, but squishy, Narc Troll. Most of your so-called ‘evidence’ comes from a couple of Twitter feeds (authored by nutjobs or disinfo agents) absolutely brimming with not only hearsay but op-ed style interpretation of said hearsay.

            So go fuck yourself and your “lecturing”. (You’d be a shitty teacher anyway.)

          • Night Owl June 9, 2022 at 7:39 am #

            Well my lecturing must have worked, as you now understand how to read for bias framing. Your faceplants during the Ukraine phone call threads were legendary.

            BTW, when I post to Twitter, those fine writers usually link the work of an expert or some piece of hard evidence.

            Sometimes critical thinking is required to place pieces of evidence into context.

            Like when the ex-VP of Pfizer explains what the MRNA shots do to your body, or the criminal networks he can verifiably prove are lying to you not only exist, but that have actively coordinated together to create what we are living through.

    Thank you Mr. K. I think it’s good advice to take in the sham committee hearings (brought to you by good morning america lol) with levity. People like Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney clearly have a need to be perceived as serious and consequential, if not historical. What a better defeat could one imagine then for them than to be summarily mocked, ridiculed and panned. It’s also such an odd strategy. Jan 6 is so far away from the current thing and so not relevant in the now. I personally think it would have been way more efficient for them if they would have done all this right after “Joe Biden” was installed right out the gate basically. But hey’ i’m not their consultant so whatevs lol. The counter points are easy. While you are scrounging to pay for gas and groceries look at these rich politicians playing games with water under the bridge. Just goes to show how completely divorced they are from the “country” around them.

    You think Trump alone can stop the WEF from coming into America? Not a chance, they’re already here. What will he do? Answer, maybe impose more tariffs, and consequently more counter tariffs, and also cut taxes for the rich, again. He is the best on the border, but even there he couldn’t rally enough support for a really strong defense of it. And again, the caravans march towards us, hoping to invade.

    Trump is not the man who can save you, because no one can save you except yourself. The die is cast. You yourself have said that the Dems and the Deep State are too entrenched for anyone to effectuate a meaningful change of course back to “c” America.

    Look at Sussmann and Navarro, and the two tiers of justice. Here’s Ben Weingarten from thefederalist.com:

    ‘It sends an unmistakable message: We can get you anytime, anywhere, on any grounds we choose. You can’t touch even a single one of ours.’

    Who knows what will happen in two plus years, but if Trump does run in 2024, he has a good chance of losing. For November 2022, the Dems have been gaining ground in spite of all the current problems.

    No, I don’t want to vote for Trump again, I prefer someone with at least a bit of intellect, someone without ‘bone spurs’, and someone other than a showman who rode the populist wave into the WH and became an apprentice there.

    Don’t readily dismiss the other half of the electorate.

        Think for a change, maybe reread my post.

        I did not say that Trump didn’t do any good. I’m saying that he’s a flawed candidate and that I wish we could do better. I voted for him before, and I will again if I have to.

        But I don’t think I’ll have to.

      • Redneck Liberal June 7, 2022 at 8:58 pm #

        rube – if I understand you correctly, what you’re saying is that when Trump was in office everything was just tickety-boo – almost like the Eisenhower years, right? Apple pie & gingham tablecloths etc.

        Since then the whole place has gone to the dogs – just like that?

        You give the presidency way too much power over things that are well outside the control of any one person, or even one party, or even one corporation…heck, even outside the control of a cabal of industries.

      TS has believed the MSM a little too much.

      I just picture 2022 and 24 with the Deep State, not just the Dems, maintaining power and it gives me much fear for our future.

      If anyone can come up with a replacement for Trump, someone who can slam the domestic enemy as effectively as Trump, someone who can be enough of a political pariah to set the Dems, especially the Bernie Boys and Girls back on their heels, come on. Until I am convinced that person exists, I will stick with Trump.

      How effective is he politically.

      He has turned Washington DC and the Deep State into a TDS machine exclusively. Anyone who can turn Biden’s, Pelosi’s and Schumer’s agenda from destroying our democracy into get Trump is doing his job trying to drain the swamp.

      • tucsonspur June 7, 2022 at 5:41 pm #

        Not so, John. I don’t fall for the MSM propaganda at all. I’ve already said before that if I have to vote Trump again I will. If there isn’t a better candidate out there than it’s too bad for us.

        You know as well as I that Trump can’t dislodge the Deep State, although he is a sharp, stinging thorn in their side.

        All I was saying is that Trump alone cannot save this nation, and it’s beyond foolish to think so.

Concerned about gun control? How many people have been killed in mass shootings since Columbine? Gun control has NEVER been a deciding factor in any American Presidential Election -Never. Roe vs Wade The only galvanizing that’ll be done for the midterms will be by people who are tired of high food and energy prices. Just wait till the ole furnace gets filled up in October.

    @ Backrow Heckler:

    King James has spoken:

    LeBron James on Monday shared a letter urging Joe Biden to get Brittney Griner home from Russia.
    The WNBA star Griner has been in Russian custody since an arrest on drug charges in February.
    The letter asked the US to “immediately address this human rights issue” and get her home.
    LeBron James has demanded that President Joe Biden bring Brittney Griner home from Russia, where the WNBA star has been detained for more than 100 days.

    “We need to come together and help do whatever we possibly can to bring BG home quickly and safely!! Our voice as athletes is stronger together,” he tweeted Sunday night to his 51.4 million

    Gas is inching up to $5 per gallon, but still people driving around like sonsabitches. Its manic, a last desperate go-round as indicated by the plethora of head on collisions, reckless driving, pedestrians being run down, and road rage incidents. Last night we drove about 40 miles west to attend a HS graduation. It was well done, not much political BS, and the graduates appeared eager and hopeful; my nephew commented “These kids are in for a rude awakening.” Yes, but I wish them the best anyway. Stopped at an Applebees at the edge of town on the way home (I always liked Applebees) Burger and fries for me, chicken salad for my wife, a beer and a soft drink: $50 with a tip. I’m sure they’re trying to keep prices down but many more of these restaurant will be struggling to survive in the near future.

    • Disaffected June 7, 2022 at 9:53 am #

      And gas will likely be the least of it. Saker blog continues to paint the deep shit the Euros in particular and the west in general are in with regard to diesel fuel, which is arguably even more vital to a functioning economy. The main question remains: is this an intentional demolition of the western economies by Davos Man as part of their Great Reset plan? That would seem to be the only explanation that makes sense, unless they really are that stupid.

She came across as an ideologue and a Climate Crank. That’s who is in charge of US energy policy, so it’s no surprise we find ourselves in the position that we’re in.

          If I’m not mistaken you can store diesel forever and it’ll still be good to go.

          Gasoline not so much; even when you add stabilizer it seems to deteriorate after about a year. What I do is mix old gasoline with new gasoline and burn it up that way.

            The reason it lasts longer is it is not very volatile, and is closer, much closer to crude than is gasoline, I would expect. No way to convert a gas motor to diesel without building a diesel vapor system. It can be done, but why then use diesel when used motor oil is everywhere available?

    I keep saying that everyone is overthinking all of this. It’s actually quite simple, elementary really: The industrial revolution aka fossil fuel surplus, was financed by fractional reserve lending.

    That is, debt based money. The problem is that by its very definition, you cannot repay capital + interest if there isn’t sufficient growth in the money supply.

    However, if you simply just print more money without growth in real, underlying production (ie again, read as surplus), you end up creating (ruinous) inflation that eventually destroys the banking system.

    Now of course the Rothschilds, et al have always known about this essential, fixed problem, the avoidance of which – like death and taxes – is impossible. So, what have they done? Well, kicked the can down the road like everyone else for the last 200 years.

    But now crunch time is coming. Everyone – and I mean *everyone* with even a mild clue – knows this is it, the jig is finally up for reals.

    So, if you’ve been the absolute master of the universe for two centuries, observing from up high with wry amusement the passions and emotional drama of billions of simple, easily satisfied human ants, how do you react when you *yourself* are slated for termination?

    Well, you have one single advantage – and no, it’s not land holdings, gold, or other traditional forms of wealth. Because in chaos, that shit is worthless.

    No, what you have is the classic first mover advantage. If you can control the collapse through the remaining vestiges of government authority, you might, just might be able to retain power over a rump, medieval system of control.

    Travel, housing, food, consumption, health, safety – control the people through these core essential levers, combined with all information flow (repackaged religion techniques) and you can operate the entire machine with limited staff.

    If youre a motu, that’s it – it’s all you got. So, dear reader, look around, lose the personal angle, and observe the intentional demolition taking place. All done with a purpose, all wonderfully logical and rational if viewed from the masters’ pov.

      I see confused people trying to reconcile their respective faiths with apparently uncontrollable, random events.

      Their institutional indoctrination, reinforced with stringent cultural influence, prevents them from not only seeing the truth, but actually even dare question the official narrative.

      So, I try to help out now and then, but do I really care if anyone is actually “saved”? The cool thing thing is, “you do you” still applies. Listen, act if you choose, it doesn’t really matter to me.

      However, those with a public voice risk becoming an embarrassment, the type of kindly, enfeebled elder who is gently patted on the head while the caregiver emits a soothing “there there”. These are yesterday’s men, whom history has passed by.

        Retaining power over a ‘rump, medieval system’ would be what they want if it came to that. In a catastrophic collapse however, all bets could be off, with who knows who grabbing power.

        Just like in banking, risk assessments are often enough inaccurate, and outcomes of major societal collapse would be difficult to pinpoint in fine detail. But those with a lot of money and power to begin with would most likely come out on top, wouldn’t they?

        I don’t think that ‘intentional demolition’ is the goal. The global elites are intentionally planning to do what they think is best for themselves and the world, with the masses absorbing the collateral damage and often unintended consequences.

    ““how come it hasn’t been in the media”

    – beantownbill axing why the media hasn’t reported anything Trump’s done for the jan 6 prisoners

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

    i said “come on” in response,

    as in ‘do you expect the media to report anything positive about Trump’

      OK. Thanks for the clarification.

    • Redneck Liberal June 8, 2022 at 6:39 pm #

      “come on” reads more accurately as “as if he’d do anything for them”.

      To claim there’s no information about his steadfast support & care for those poor benighted dupes in Federal prison in the MSM because the MSM wouldn’t report it is just ridiculous on its face.

      What about all your alt-right-CTNJ sources? Why haven’t they been reporting on his heroic deeds of intrepid intervention? Because there’s nothing to report, is why.

        Yes, well did you hear that the CDC is now recommending the donning of masks for traveling due to monkeypox? So far I don’t think there are any new mandates but of course the recommendation could be part of the initial rollout you refer to. I have been feeling for some time that they are going to prevent the midterms from occurring some how some way. Otherwise if the elections are held and are even slightly fair then there will be a big political shift and they cannot afford for such a thing to occur.

    I see the Jan 6 hearings will replace prime time TV on MSM. Should be a dandy, and says a lot about the quality of both.

    In the meantime, since anything goes and nothing matters now, no one will care.

    • Disaffected June 7, 2022 at 4:38 pm #

      Other than sporting events, as if anyone at all watches prime time network TV anymore. They really are going a little overboard with these Jan 6th hearings, though. I don’t know anyone on either side of the issue that pays attention to that shit anymore.

      • cowbell81 June 7, 2022 at 5:07 pm #

        Agreed, there isn’t anything worthwhile in Primetime anymore. I often see a commercial for a show that looks mildly interesting, but then they say it is only available on Hulu, Paramount Plus, or some such other streaming platform. I wonder why they waste their time and money, putting together what looks like a quality show with well known actors and interesting narrative, only to have it unavailable to a large segment of the populace.

        Streaming anything is a no go for me since I refuse to partake in a payment subscription service to get my dose of entertainment. All you have to do is look at the state of America and the lunacy that is ongoing, and that is entertainment enough, and all for free!

        And yet we wonder why we don’t have a common American culture anymore. Gone are the days of sitting down at 8 PM every night to watch the typical variety show. Instead we have reality shows like Big Brother, which clearly cater to the lowest IQ and lowest common denominator.

    Huh, something is not adding up here.

    The new Ford F150 EV was promoted as being an ‘affordable’ electric truck, retailing for about $40,000. But a few are turning up on dealers lots now with a sticker price of $141,000. Biden was up in Detroit last year promoting these things, billing them as Everyman’s vehicle, like the Ford Model T a century ago. Ford claims to have hundreds of thousands of reservations for this F150, so many that they can’t keep up with demand. However, a column in the WSJ a few weeks ago made the claim that 70% of Americans have less than $400 in the bank, and live week to week on $500 per week. Ford competitor Rivian in Indianapolis originally priced their EV truck at $67,500, but has since raised the cost to $83,500. On the Motley Fool site the claim was made that even at $83,500 every unit sold would result in a $15,000 loss, that the truck needs to be sold for at least $110 thousand for the company to remain solvent. In addition there is a required $15,500 subscription payable over 5 years.

    So what gives? Is the EV Revolution just another just another scam based upon wishful thinking, lies and false hope? Some of these companies (Ford, GM) have promised to end all ICE production by 2030

      Numbers!

      Estimates say there are 330 million active cars and light trucks in the country, plus how many overseas. Add on the vehicles in the trucking industry.

      Now take the proverbial elites, the 1%.

      To replace the fleet of 330 million I say five years will require 3.3 million cars or over 600000 per year.

      That is if only the 1% can afford the machines, right now more than that can afford a Tesla or a PU truck EV.

      The numbers game, if 5% can make the transition that is 3 million per year.

      Some questions for the EV proponents.

      Can the car manufacturers make 3 million a year?

      Can the grid handle 3 million more cars charging per year?

      What effect on price and delivery will the well understood resource limitations have on the EV production bottlenecks?

      How much more fossil fuels will we need to produce the electricity, produce the windmills and solar panels, produce the plastics for the EV cars, produce the infrastructure needed to make 3 million more EVs per year, and add this onto the FF required to run the rest of the auto fleet, the other 300 million.

      Kerry, the hair looking for a brain, complained this week that the FF industry is expanding now and it will be catastrophic for AGW. Why can’t these people realize that EVs are not the answer and do something else, if there is something else.

      Twenty more years and cheap oil is history. Then reactionary solutions will be automatic, no choice. EVs are contrary to what is needed.

      I just checked the local Ford dealer. He has one F-150 lightning. Price 84 G’s and change. From the specs the range is 230 miles but there is a caveat as follows.

      Fine print says: “EPA-estimate metric: these are contingent on ideal conditions within a lab. Real-world situations such as carrying passengers or cargo, using climate control, driving style, and ambient temperatures can affect actual metrics. ”

      Tells me the EPA estimate numbers are a joke basically based on ideal conditions in a lab. So 230 miles huh. , Basic New England winter storm. 10 degrees F. Run heat/defrost full blast, -35 miles, add a couple passengers and some weight in the bed, -30 miles, Wipers full bore,all lights, maybe some heated seats for comfort, -25 miles, Pushing through snow resistance in road.Who knows.

        I spend a minimum of $84,000, plus extras, plus sales tax, plus fees less my trade-in. Say about $95,000 – $30,000, or about $65,000. For this I can drive to get groceries, that’s it. Forget about seeing my grandkids – unless I drive there around 11 AM and return about 2 PM, when the traffic is at a minimum. Not light, just at the minimum. Forget about seeing them in July and August because I’ll have to put on the AC. Forget about driving to Foxwoods, it’s 90 miles each way, so I’d probably have to charge up before I leave CT.

        Now compare that to my current car, a hybrid RAV 4. I owe about 6-7K on my car loan, which I’ll be paying off shortly. I’m now getting about 48-49 mpg, and summers and winters I get about 38-42 mpg. I still have free service for about 1.5 years more.

    What could it be? For some reason, I do recall a few companies linked to one another producing a genetically engineered product that their own internal data showed was highly dangerous, and the most famous of those companies attempting to hide documentation on this matter for 75 years, before a court ordered them to begin releasing the information to the public.

    I also recall that said company had paid the largest fine for healthcare fraud in history. And, I kid you not, they tried to force their genetically engineered frankenproduct on the public by refusing them work, travel, or participation in society.

    Could there be a connection?

    So many questions.

    • GreenAlba June 8, 2022 at 12:27 pm #

      I’m so tempted to copy-paste your post verbatim (I’d maybe take out the ‘franken’!), with the link to the Daily Mail article, into another email to my MP (who is already sick of me).

      And then add the link to Christine Anderson MEP and point out what a politician with integrity looks like.

      But he (my MP) is only one out of 650, of whom I’d guess 550 are complicit, with varying degrees of knowledge regarding the full dystopian agenda.

      Brian Gerrish continues to think a lot of them are just plain stupid – it’s difficult to tell. But I know that 18 scientists and others. including Mike Yeadon, Tess Lawrie, John O’Looney, Anna de Buisseret, had an audience at Westminster last year with Sir Graham Brady, where they gave hours of evidence, to which he responded that he would do what he could (which turned out to be nothing at all).

      John O’Looney said Sir Graham didn’t even look surprised at the evidence. He just listened to it and did nothing. So John thinks they’re all complicit, since they all talk to one another in the Uniparty (I actually used that term to my MP, who’s meant to be the Opposition – I’m past the stage of decorum with these quislings).

      I was very decorous in my email to Sir Christopher Chope, though, who spoke out on behalf of the vaxx injured and was decried as a purveyor of discredited conspiracy theories for his pains.

            Back to the non-debate: Your little study has six people – that’s not viable. Too small. All elderly. Bad things happen to the elderly all the time. You’d be better of focusing on the young who have been jabbed, but of course you wouldn’t know them, and it wouldn’t have the same emotional appeal to you. As a woman, the feelz are very, very important needless to say.

            When we really get into statistics, we begin to predict what may happen on the basis of what has happened. It starts to become meta-physical or beyond the physical. It hasn’t happened yet! And mathematics does get into models far beyond the physical as we know it. But such models may yet explain things we haven’t seen – yet.

            You don’t seem to understand the difference between information that is an illustration of a reality and data that is wider evidence of it. But no matter. What matters to you is to insult women, which is a bit of a yawn to most people.

            The article referred to in Night Owl’s post, which I said I am considering sending to my MP, is about young people. Hence more important to convey to him than my anecdotal illustration.

            But healthy, extremely fit, non-smoking 69-year-old women very very rarely have heart attacks. So the illustration (which does not claim to be data) still stands.

            What is also important is that none of these incidents, including my husband’s collapse and the death of our postman’s wife from a blood clot on the brain, are recorded on the UK’s vaccines adverse events recording system (Yellow Card). That too is an illustration of something very important, viz the level of under-reporting.

            Well of course those examples are suggestive. As is Whites getting mugged in Black or Muslim ghettoes. As was “AIDS” among Gays – evidence of their distorted lifestyle and values.

            I did indeed imply that you were (on that occasion, not as a fixed characteristic). But I’m not the one who repeatedly lies and is called out for it by multiple people on this forum.

            You have made the analogies you wished to about muslims, gays and black people. If you are happy with your comments on the matter, they don’t require anything from me.

            All of us vaxxed folks have AIDS now, so that’s one you can regretfully leave behind as regards gays. In fact the gay unvaxxed will do rather better and may be having quite a laugh as we speak, in a ‘funny old world’ kind of way..

            Dr Talabani added: “There is no evidence to support this claim and it’s a very good example of how misinformation is constructed to play on fear and dissuade people from having vaccines that have been proven safe in almost 10 billion doses given worldwide, to date.

            I get the point you’re trying to make, but again, all you’re doing is implying that anyone who isn’t in your rabbit hole AND is a scientist is either a liar/sell-out or just a fecking idjit.

            I just don’t buy that.

            I’m fortunate to live in a city with a highly regarded university with a huge bent towards STEM subjects.

            At our local boozer, I meet regularly with a bloke who worked in his own lab in Connecticut for 25 years (till 2015) developing stem cell therapy for myeloma cases. It’s in clinical trials now and he’s headed back soon to oversee the final stages of the work. I tend to put more faith in his opinion than in those gleaned from dodgy websites (which are often, ironically, selling boner-pills on the side).

            I’ve also recently twice met a most intriguing young woman (28) PhD fellow at the local university whose specialty is mRNA vaccines, a technology that’s been in development for more than 25 years. I tend to believe her, too – or is she just bald-faced lying to us all? Is she a psychopathic monster? Is she in league with Soros/Gates/WEF/Mickey Mouse? Surely, in your world, or at least in your rabbit hole world-view, she must be.

            Is this more ground-breaking reasoning? Scotland isn’t really into the Jubilee stuff – sorry to break it to you. I’m not sure why I’d have more in common with black people, given I’ve spoken to about one a year, if that, over recent years (all very polite and well spoken – they tend to be students, even if they’re delivering for Sainsbury’s).

        Green Alba:

        Very interesting show with Alexander Mercouris stating that Johnson is on the way out—cannot survive.

        So he and Christophorou are talking about how Johnsson’s role vis-a-vis the Ukraine situ has led to his downfall.

        What I found notable was that they did not attribute Boris’s Troubles to the basic disaster of the covid op in Britain, a poster child for the worst “policies” and “lies” and social and economic destruction visited upon any country and certainly any western country.

        The Brits in Westiminster and 10 Downing Street went totally mad, and BJ was mad to listen to his “advisers” such as that twit/criminal Neil Ferguson.
        How much was Johnson in the know and how truly dumb was he? They all goofed off like Oxbridge students and cheekily broke the rules imposed on the hoi polloi.
        There is a tale to tell here and I hope it will be told in gory detail!!! .

        • GreenAlba June 8, 2022 at 1:26 pm #

          Thanks, islander, I’ll check that out.

          The problem with getting rid of Boris is that what will replace him will be even worse. We’re probably talking about the idiot, Liz Truss, who has basically been groomed to be a mouthpiece of the Foreign Office and the intelligence services (which is what the BBC is too) and Jeremy Hunt, who, I gather, is favoured by the WEF and the WHO (according to Debi Evans today on UKC News). They are both evil in their own way and, I think, a worse prospect than Boris. Perfect for the next stage of the coming dystopia, in other words.

          I think Boris is a lot less dumb than he makes out, but the degree of deliberate and knowing compliance of any of them with the worst of the long-term WEF agendas I don’t know.

          Re Neil Ferguson, Imperial College is a recipient of funds from the Gates Foundation. so I’m not sure how much of his idiocy was really idiocy (although he had previous, in terms of Foot and Mouth predictions – and culling – and possibly CJD from BSE) ).

          I don’t think ‘breaking the rules’ is exactly the point, regarding the parties. I think the point is that they knew they were at no risk whatever health-wise from holding parties, while frightening other people into thinking that they were at risk. I thing that whole story is a distraction.

            Because I am seeing my comments posted with the sentence added “You comment is in moderation” or some such.

            I can see the comment, but I don’t know whether others can see it, along with the “moderation” sentence. For instance, I posted a comment with a link to an Alexander Mercouris interview. I can see the comment, the link, and hte “moderation” sentence, but I don’t know if anyone else can see the comment. Or, whether anything is in fact being “moderated” or the comment is just sent to an invisible bin.

        This shows how successful the Dem Deep State was a the blockage of any investigation of the election results, 100% blockage. I remember Philly was one of the targets and was blocked by a judge in PA.

        Trump did not have the political backing to conduct a satisfactory investigation, Pence was a traitor here. They just ran out of steam.

        Another point, recounts are a joke. Remember Jill Stein’s recounts that showed discrepancies of a few hundred votes?

        The problem was the illegal mail in voting and illegal ballot stuffing compounded by computer manipulation. Recounts do not test these at all, they just recount the bogus BS that was presented in the first place.

        Forget the 2020. What will prevent the heavily Leftist manning of the electoral system and the judiciary this year from stealing the elections? They are dominant everywhere! Is this why the Dems seem so cocky?

      @ Jarek:

      Interesting observation by Doc Holliday.

      In real life, you sometimes have a family member who fits this description–in other words, someone you’ve known over a sufficient length of time, that you have tried to encounter their “inwardness” and come up empty.

      Some people are like an onion: As with most people, the outer layer is a mask. But with these types, the layer beneath that one is another mask, and beneath that yet another mask–and so on. There is no “core person” there; there’s nobody home.

      You figure they MUST have an “inwardness”–or “soul.” Otherwise, how could they live? It must be so rudimentary or repressed as to be undetectable.

      It’s also interesting to speculate about what it would be like to be such a person. There must be an overpowering sense of being dead and empty. (I suspect the dead emptiness must require filling with a sense of worldly power and prestige.) In such as case, what would be their feelings towards the living?

      • Jarek June 9, 2022 at 12:05 pm #

        Some therapists have said that they occasionally show up and complain of feeling empty. And even that they can be helped, though it isn’t easy. There must be degrees of it. Obviously most of them think they are great and aren’t ever going to willingly go to a therapist. Those that are forced to will put on a show.

        For the spiritual pov, see Scot Peck’s “People of the Lie”. A very deep dive. For him it merges into demonic possession at some point.

    From a meta perspective, this space illustrates the effects of indoctrination and narrative reinforcement on certain segments of the population.

    On one hand we have a few knowledgeable posters addressing the true issues driving current global events, while unfortunately others are still distracted by stage managed pageantry, as typified by “look, squirrel”!

    Of course I’m referring to the big 3, which are overshoot, depletion, and degradation, upon which the entire world socio polical economy has been constructed based on expectations of continued surplus.

    On the plus side the additional commentary – although completely irrelevant and off topic – serves to increase public visibility. However, the negative effect is one of possibly characterizing the broader conversations as hopelessly foolish and naive.

    If I may try just once more, please ask yourself where would the UK be without N Sea reserves? Would Thatcher even have existed without windfall surplus to gain an additional generation of “wealth”?

    Now, extend this line of inquiry to the present true state of affairs. Gain any insight? If so, then you will now recognize the futility of interacting with any noob, politician or civilian, who either doesn’t understand or is immersed in denial.

    Stop wasting your time; Stop bothering the board with inane personal concerns. Focus on the big picture: why are current events happening? What are the casual factors? What’s the trajectory? How are elites and their national dominions preparing to survive on top (with you and other commoners at the bottom)?

    • SoftStarLight June 8, 2022 at 1:28 pm #

      I do think it is likely that those who have the power and resources are trying to carve out fiefdoms ahead of time. Ahead of the incoming tsunami. I actually think that a feudal system is sort of another human society steady state that would naturally arise if the hunter gatherer mode is not possible. Ultimately I think we would devolve back to hunter gatherers if we could completely. Personally I think that is our inherent innate nature. But short of that I do agree with you that the other mode that comes natural to us is the feudal mode, the lords and the serfs, probably some slaves in there too. My main issue with it all is why does everything have to be so inhumane. I prefer to see humane actions and systems. It used to be that the lords and knights had codes of conduct and chivalries. It probably wouldn’t be so bad if those came back to supplement and embellish the system. As humans (or human ants as you say which I personally don’t care for jtluk) aesthetics are super critical to success.

      • Jarek June 8, 2022 at 1:57 pm #

        In Islam, slavery didn’t always have the overwhelming negative connotations that it had in the West. Everyone was a “slave of God” after all. The Saints know it and accept it. Other don’t know it. The Demonic know it and hate it.

        The slave soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, the Janissaries, actually ended up taking power. And other slaves rose to positions of power and responsibility, even having slaves themselves. Complicated!

        I’m not advocating for this. I like our system of rights. But they are right at the highest level, in their idea of our being slaves of God. If one rejects it, then one is a mere slave of nature – a far worse thing.

        We are losing our public faith in God now. And we won’t be able to keep our system of rights without it. It is the linchpin.

        • Anthea June 9, 2022 at 9:57 am #

          @ Jarek:

          I suppose the idea of being “slaves to God” is true in some sense, but I think it’s largely a matter of semantics.

          We have no life or being outside of God. We can’t possibly “be” anything else but God incarnate. The only other (Satanic) option is to reject life and being–to reject our very existence, and, along with that, the whole of creation.

          This is not slavery, but a realization of the dignity and glory of who you are.

          It is probably a Satanic inversion to represent the choice of life, being, creativity, intellection and love as “slavery.”

        • Anthea June 9, 2022 at 10:11 am #

          @ Jarek:

          Also, as far as I know, you are correct about the Islamic attitude towards slavery. My understanding is that the Ottoman Empire was very much a meritocracy, while Christendom during the same period was a rigid caste system.

          • Jarek June 9, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

            Yes, an interesting line of thought. One of the early Ottoman Emperors was a former slave soldier. They were quite formidable at their height, even defeating the Mongols in open field. Something that the Western Knights were never able to do.

            We’ve come to the existential break point. Biden keeps saying that none of our Rights are absolute. The Founders said that they are.

            Every one answers to somebody. Hermits cut all that off so they can answer to God directly. Freedom? Or no safety net if they blow it? Young monastics were never allowed to do this. Only after many years of cenobitic life would permission be granted.

        • Anthea June 9, 2022 at 10:25 am #

          @ Jarek:

          Faith in God is indeed the lynchpin of human rights. The Christian faith confers each individual person with so immense a dignity and glory that tyrants dare not impose their will against him/her.

          • Jarek June 9, 2022 at 12:21 pm #

            Yes, it’s quite a beautiful achievement, alas one wasted on most of us most of the time.

            The absolute nature of God is ever present to the Muslims, so that absolute relationship colored their view of everything, preventing this development perhaps. But theirs is the common viewpoint. We’re the exceptions.

            The Indians (dot) will say that they valued inner freedom more than the outer. Perhaps. The East Asians have produced many powerful, prosperous civilization, with the Confucian ideal of Jen or Humanness. But they never seemed to trust themselves enough to go towards political freedom. And as one Confucian scholar said, it was an unrealized ideal, mostly a pretext or cover. The real philosophy was “Legalism” or their version of Machiavelli. Very few real rights for ordinary people, none really since the ruler could overrule them at will or whim.

            In any case, we’re falling back to this human norm now. With all of us becoming employees not citizens. What happens when we become “unemployed”?

        Hmmm.

        Could it be that feudalism is the natural order of things? That the FF of the US provided a blip to a system that has been trying to reset ever since?

        TLE predicts a return to an agrarian state, after the demise of oil.

        Will that take the form of a zillion small family farms, anywhere? Will it be the feudal manor when a lord and his retinue provide resources and protection from “gang” warfare?

        I know which one I would put my money on.

        Think. Technology has essentially freed up folks to not have to do farming to survive. The end of oil will be the end of that.

        Can you not see the WEF coming in with their Great Reset? They have stated that CCP is their idea of what government should look like. Away from the Chinese cities, what have you, what was there until WW2.

        Feudalism!

        Is this the future? I have not seen a good alternative yet.

        I will tell you one thing, the Deep State has no clue and does not care. They think when the Reset comes, they will be the power mongers in charge. Most resets, revolutions, start with the power structure being relieved of their heads.

        Think about the evolution of the population. Federal, states and local esp. City organization are all feudal in nature. Now just remove oil.

        • JohnAZ June 8, 2022 at 2:20 pm #

          BTW, slavery was replaced by sharecropping. Which is modern day feudalism.

          Hmmm, the reset hits reinforced by peak oil, and the mass race to the fields will start.

          Think of the Grapes of Wrath. Oklahoma feudalism of the early 1900s was destroyed by the tractor, the internal combustion engine and

          OIL.

          With little oil, what is agriculture to do? Where are all the city folks and suburbanites going to go without jobs, without food?

            I was going to say you’d broadened my horizons (although you did, because I hadn’t heard him singing), then a little light went off in my brain. One of my daughter’s best friends is from Selkirk and knew Scott Hutchinson well. He suffered from quite bad depression, I gather, and committed suicide, poor chap.

          • Night Owl June 8, 2022 at 4:54 pm #

            Interesting. Yes, his story is quite sad, but he was an inspiring guy.

            I’ll make a point of listening to some of his songs. It was the name ‘Frightened Rabbit’ that rang a bell, and I remembered my daughter telling me about him, from her friend. Everyone was very upset – they were very fond of him in Selkirk, I gather.

            The very name of Matt Walsh’s documentary (which you liked), should shame you: What is a Woman?. He demands that they define their term.

            Yet they will not. Nor will they simply shut up about it. They yammer on endlessly, content in the Stygian darkness of their onw ignorance, even as you do on “racism”.

    Lid work update:

    Uppers coming along nicely. No complaints whatsoever. Wrinkles, flaps, and folds are now GONE. Itching mostly gone now too.

    Lowers are still somewhat problematic due to my propensity to swell. When the stitches came out, the incisions below my eyes opened up, and they stay opened up because I still swell so much at night. Saw the Doc today for routine one month evaluation and he said still no cause for concern, but if it remains a problem in another few months he’ll fix it gratis after the swelling has subsided. Probably involves some restitching and whatever, possibly back in the OR again.

    Bottom line: Still happy with the procedure, especially the uppers which are close to normal already. The first week afterward was a TOTAL bitch, but it gets better quickly after that. At $6K all in, I consider it a worthwhile investment, given how hideous my eyes were looking. Your mileage may of course vary.

    • beantownbill. June 8, 2022 at 4:48 pm #

      Dis,

      I hope that all things work out for you. Ultimately, your lids will be great. What concerned me about your health was last week’s episode of a rapid heartbeat. Coffee can do that to you. I may have to give it up too, but for a different reason. Coffee is acidic, which apparently does a number on my digestion.

      One of my unsolicited recommendations is how about switching to decaf. Not as tasty as regular, but it is still coffee. Another option is switching to grain coffee, like Teechino brand. It takes getting used to, but it isn’t bad, and you can feel like you had something coffee-like. I brew mine in a coffee-maker and add some cream. It should have no side effects like coffee.

      My hip is coming along ok. It’s hard to be patient. Tomorrow will be the first day of my second month post-surgery. The issue with me is I tend to overdo it. Yesterday I went for the longest walk yet, and I’m paying for it today. My hip and butt is very sore now, but it’s getting better as the day progresses. Tomorrow is my first session with a local gym’s PT, who I’ve been told is excellent. I have a problem between my body and my mind. My body is saying I’m 77 and my mind is telling me I’m 21. I’ll have to resolve this quickly, as my body seems to have the upper hand.

      Anyway, good luck.

        Good work Beanman! Long as the joint itself doesn’t hurt you’re doing well. Routine muscle soreness is good.

        Been off coffee for awhile now. The acid just ate me up and I got so I couldn’t stand the taste. Switched up to 5 Hour Energy in bubbly water and I like that much better. 5 Hour has a bad rap in some quarters, but it’s actually all good stuff. No Guarana or any of that dicey stuff. Still have to watch the amounts though. No more than two a day. And gotta shop for the generic (Kroger for me), as the real stuff is off the charts expensive.

        I think my little incident was Sunday was mostly alcohol provoked, as I’ve long had a problem with racing heart after alcohol, especially when I get locked into the maniacal caffeine during the day, alcohol at night routine. Combine that with a little dehydration (goes hand in hand with alcohol use) and some ill-advised really hard workouts to “compensate” for my hangovers and there ya go. REALLY, REALLY stupid juvenile behavior at the tender age of 65.

        But I’m back to my fire-breathing self again now. BP 105/60, HR 66 this morning. Slept 9 perfect hours, and workouts are back to full strength and duration. Thinking “meta:” I actually think I do these things to myself on purpose in order to set boundaries. I’ve always been a hard-headed sum’ bitch, who when told I can’t or shouldn’t do something, am pretty much guaranteed to violate that rule just to test its validity. Still a punk at 65 – LOL! Who’d a thunk?

      Yes, I have changed some as I have become more aware of what is happening globally. It started with reading a book three years ago on the global finance fiasco and started realizing the stupidity of the federal government Deep State is totally designed. His point was that the US illicit trades were being used to keep the international leverage afloat.

      I felt that the GOP was opposed to the progressivism of the Dems, with the little parties Left of the Dems.

      Until the RINOs showed up opposing Trump and I became aware of the legitimate existence of the Deep State, where party is secondary to supporting the Federal government.

      I believe now that there are no parties in DC. Deep State is connected directly to the WEF with lots of US globalists trying hard to destroy the nationalism of patriotic America.

      I believe that we, the Deplorables, have brothers and sisters in Russia, the only other nationalistic nation. Their battle is the America First battle. Same o same o. The enemy is the globalists.

      Not revolutionary, conservative, I want the US back, not a subsidiary of an organization of egomaniacs in DAVOs.

      We were getting close to full economic ties with Russia, with mutual economic cooperation. Putin actually asked for membership in the EU a few years back.

      Oh no, the WEF ascertained what a threat to internationalism, their globalism that would be and the threat to them of a true United Europe with no need for NATO. Ukraine became the center of the confrontation and here we are.

      I am disgusted with the Deep State, period. We have the biggest enemy of our country in Washington, DC, their goal is not protection of the nation, but it’s destruction.

    NBC

    Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona who was recently endorsed by former President Donald Trump, said on a podcast this year that “Black people, frankly” are to blame for America’s gun violence problem.

    “We do have a gun violence problem in this country, and it’s gang violence,” Masters said on “The Jeff Oravits Show” in April. “It’s gangs. It’s people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, Black people, frankly. And the Democrats don’t want to do anything about that.”

    Masters also claimed Democrats “are weak on crime” and “don’t like the Second Amendment” because “it frankly blocks a lot of their plans for us.”

    Anglin: There are three separate issues here:

    Blacks are the ones doing the shooting
    Democrats don’t want to talk about the blacks
    The blacks fit into a plan that the Democrats have for America
    The last one is really the most important.

    But Masters – who I am now calling “Master Masters” – didn’t stop there.

    During the same podcast, when asked what he thought about President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman confirmed to the court, Masters said she was “a horrible pick” and that she was an “affirmative action candidate.”

    Masters did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.

    Masters has promoted Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. He has also repeatedly echoed the “great replacement theory” — a white supremacist conspiracy theory that there is a plot to diminish the influence of white people in the U.S. — by baselessly claiming that Democrats want to grant amnesty to thousands of immigrants in order to “make them voters.”

    Imagine calling that a “baseless claim.” Democrats are constantly claiming that they want to give all of these illegal Mexicans voting rights. They’ve been trying to do this for decades.

    Remember the “Gang of Eight”?

    But note – please, I implore you to note – they did not claim that Master Masters’ statements about the blacks being at the root of the gun violence epidemic was a “baseless claim.” No one wants to touch that one. And the media didn’t even bring it up until now – months after the podcast was recorded.

    No one in the media wants to have that argument, because someone is going to start waving around FBI crime statistics that show that blacks – who are 13% of the population – do 50% of violent crime, and in some cities, well over 80% of gun crime.

    (These are 2016 numbers – it’s much worse now)
    No one can argue that or call it a “baseless claim.” Without even looking at the statistics, everyone knows it. No one crosses the street when a group of white guys are walking towards them.

    Democrats just simply do not want to talk about this issue at all, as their entire gun control narrative reverses – if blacks are doing virtually all of the violent crime, then white people need to keep their guns to protect themselves from these blacks, and Democrats – who are the ones who have made themselves the protectors of the blacks – need to figure out a way to get their little pets to stop killing everyone.

    If blacks were doing 10% more gun crime than whites, you could haggle about it. But when they’re doing 1000% more gun crime than whites, well – someone has to explain this shit.

    The burden to explain it falls on the people who are talking about it nonstop.

    Jarek: The woman who hit by the car in Los Angeles was on with Tucker and said she have voted for Gascon because she believed that we needed some Criminal Justice reform. In other words, the genius believed that too many Blacks were being arrested. She never bothered to ask whether they commit more crimes per capita. The media doesn’t encourage that question.

    She and her family are fleeing Los Angeles. Evidently she knows about the vengeance that will be coming her way from her own Liberal Tribe – who won’t forgive her for being a White victim and living to tell the tale on national tv. She said long term they were going to leave California. Good move. But has she learned anything? Or will she keep talking about social justice for Blacks?

  92. mitchellc June 8, 2022 at 7:51 pm #

    Jarek, you’ve got all the information, now how about tracing out where you think these trends will take us?

    Example: the greatest threat resulting from a US defeat in Ukraine would be the ability of Russia to provide nuclear umbrella support for any potential break away republics from the empire.

    It would be an incredible foreign policy disaster if a military led coup occurred in Germany, France or the UK, if then immediately followed by formal recognition and promised defense assistance from Russia.

    Now, bring it back home: we know white flight is acclerating to certain states/regions. Ask yourself, which state(s) will be the first to secede, and in so doing, seek the protection of Russia from any federal interference or retaliation?

    See how this works? Use facts, trends, analyses and knowledge of historic reactions to tyrannical governments to create a basis by which one can reasonably surmise possible/potential outcomes.

        Putin and Trump with legitimate working relationship.

        What changed to bring on Ukraine.

        Biden and the US goon squad, the AGW hit squad. Got to stop Russia oil expansion.

        For the WEF masters.

        Europe and Russia will merge in the next few years. Why? To preserve Europe’s access to oil and gas, Germany et al needs Russia and Ukraine at peace to ensure oil flow.

        The last thing Europe needs is the United States pushing the WEF agenda.

        But sometimes you need to let the opposition fail to get people to see their stupidity.

        The US is at this point, total failure of the WEF, Leftist agenda. The cause is the failure of the financial system due to endless tax and spend philosophy of solving problems.

      Millions of Chinese troops crossed the Yalu river into North Korea and all Uncle Sham could do was run. This was the gratitude from the regime we helped set up.

      Why shouldn’t Putin send millions of Chinese contractors across the Bering Strait and take Alaska? What would we do? What could we do? What could he do if they remained loyal to Xi, as of course they would.

      It’s under populated, a veritable Texas of the North waiting for the right Asian “Yankees” to take it from the peasants.

      Maybe they’d let us keep the Panhandle…..

      • BackRowHeckler June 9, 2022 at 6:25 am #

        Nah, the Japanese landed in Alaska and got their asses handed to them. Alaska is too remote, the terrain too rough, and the climate too inhospitable for any successful invasion. If the Chinese land in America in force it’ll be on the Mexican Pacific coast, perhaps in Baja California at the behest of the Mexican govt., consolidate their forces and integrate Cuban and Venezuelan Divisions, and begin moving north where they will be challenged by General Milley’s newly formed Tranny Divisions — raised in SF and LA — of the California National Guard. But I’ve read the People’s Republic has Gov Newsom by the shorthairs — financially and politically –so the possibility exists that the Governor would invite the PLA in as ‘Liberators’ and honored guests, specially if DeSantis is President, as I expect he will be.

          Disagree, BRH.

          China needs to do nothing militarily to defeat the US.

          With an open border, just keep pumping in folks. Today’s immigrants do not assimilate they try to transform. China is going to watch the US self destruct, (see above) and will take Taiwan when the time is right.

          The West Coast of the US and Canada is rapidly turning Asian in the North and Mexican in the south. When the US Balkanizes, it will split at that border.

          China will overpower the US economically, not militarily. The government thinks that is all they need to control(Thanks MIC). How much the WEF is involved is yet to be determined. That would be a good investigation point for the CIA, but not under Biden.

        Invasion dry run in British Columbia, already. Entire malls where the only sign in English is “EXIT”.

        Before I left Canada, the PRC had offered an extremely sweet mining deal to the BC Government. The Canadians are always eager to take foreign investors’ dough – then how come, the puzzled Chinese wondered, was there such an outcry when they wanted to bring in five thousand of their own miners to work the shafts?

      Make up your mind, mc, is the future going to be serfs living on pieces of land farming communally under the direction of our feudal overlords, or are we going to continue as atomized citizens living in current state boundaries?
      And do you really think that Russia, whose citizens and leaders are far more rational than ours, would agree to use nuclear weapons to protect some random US state that decided to declare independence from the Empire?
      Yeah, right.

          Meet Australia’s Davos Disciples #2
          By guest contributor Kurt Mahlburg

          The most prominent organisation seeking to impose a globalist agenda on nation states is the World Economic Forum (WEF), which has a alumni (from its leadership programs and conferences) who have influence the world over.

          Many of them are wealthy, well-connected and unelected — but are playing an outsized influence on the future trajectory of humanity.

          It is in the interest of every lover of freedom to be aware of the Davos disciples who are shaping our future.

          Meet Australia’s Digital ID proponent: ‘Davos Man’ David Thodey

          Businessman David Thodey is a ‘Davos Man’, an acolyte of the WEF.
          David Thodey is a prominent Australian businessman based in Sydney who has enjoyed a staggering number of high-profile appointments despite completing only a Bachelor of Arts degree and a general management course.

          He has been gifted several honorary awards and an Order of Australia for his work in the business world since.

          Thodey is the Chair of Tyro Payments, Australia’s largest EFTPOS provider, and also Chair of accounting software company Xero.

          He also sits on the Boards of both Ramsay Health Care, the largest private provider of hospitals in Australia, and Vodafone.

          His prior appointments are even more impressive: Thodey was CEO for IBM Australia and New Zealand in 1999-2001, CEO of Telstra from 2009-2015, and Chair of the CSIRO Board from 2015-2021.

          Curiously, David Thodey had a prominent voice in Australia’s response to COVID-19, being Deputy Chair of the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission (NCC) Advisory Board.

          In 2018, Thodey was appointed by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to chair an independent review of the Australian Public Service, overseeing the ‘Thodey Report’ — one of the key documents driving Australia’s push towards a digital identity.

          Recommendation 16 of the Thodey Report called for a “single digital identity solution where the public are able to verify to public and private service providers who they are” to act as “a single access point to all government services”.

          Thodey called for at least $1 billion per year in funding towards “digital transformation” in Australia’s public service.

          Digital ID has been a centrepiece of the World Economic Forum’s agenda since 2019, the same year the Thodey Report was released.

          Thodey attended the WEF’s Davos Summit in both 2014 and 2015.

          He also oversaw WEF agenda items embedded into CSIRO’s 2021-22 Corporate Plan.

          These profiles help to illustrate the extent of the World Economic Forum’s reach into Australia’s corporate and non-profit sectors and politics.

          They also raise questions about conflict of interest, when people in lucrative corporate positions, connected to an agenda-driven globalist body are the same people setting Australia’s domestic policy agenda from taxpayer-funded appointments.

          Re “These profiles help to illustrate the extent of the World Economic Forum’s ***reach*** into Australia’s corporate and non-profit sectors and politics. ” obviously this is occurring everywhere. “Reach” = PENETRATION, per Top Bot Schwab himself.

            Like the Nazi in The Sum of All Fears, the WEF has discovered that having the nationalistic countries fight each other is the way to come into power.

            A huge realization is coming where the conservative part of the US figure out they have more in common with Russia than the WEF subsidiaries NATO and EU.

      Simple, Night Owl. IMHO, The body’s negative reaction to Covid is actually a negative reaction to the s protein.

      What a mistake it is to inject material to increase the level of s protein in the body. The level required is individual controlled but each injection of s protein increases the chance of over reaction by the immune system. Individually.

      Novavax is bringing out a true vaccine based on the same protein base as the flu shot. Will that correct the misdirection?

      • Night Owl June 9, 2022 at 3:54 pm #

        It would make sense if the shot weren’t the poison.

        There is no Covid. There is only Zuul.

        And Ralph Baric and Dr. Faustus.

          • JohnAZ June 9, 2022 at 11:39 pm #

            Lord, MQ.

            You know nothing about the Novavax shot. Neither do I. We know lots about the mRNA shot and the mistake they made by using the s protein.

            I will never get another mRNA shot.

            If Novavax and the CDC testing show good, non-lethal results, it will be combined with an annual flu shot.

            Your entire basis of there is no virus is very satisfying to the families that lost folks to this imaginary non-existent virus.

          • MaryQueen June 9, 2022 at 11:59 pm #

            I know that vaccines kill and maim, that’s kinda obvious.

          • GreenAlba June 10, 2022 at 6:21 am #

            John, I think the mistake is in thinking using the spike protein was a mistake. And the spike protein generating ability is not the only harmful element in the covid ‘vaccines’. There are things in there that shouldn’t be there. Nor is it just the mHRA vaxxes – the adenovirus-vector vaxxes do the same harm, because the mechanism is the same – as are the dodgy ingredients (although some seem to vary from one batch to another).

            Now, given that harmful ingredients were put in all of these ‘vaccines’ deliberately, the default assumption has to be that any new ‘vaccine’ may include any dodgy ingredients the manufacturers choose to put in it.

            Not only that, but they’re coming up with new, dangerous, hardly tested* antivirals like molnupiravir. I won’t be touching any of this stuff – lesson learned. I especially won’t be touching anything that is enthusiastically recommended as the next big thing.

            Digressing slightly, for the first time ever I saw an ad on TV about shingles, telling us why people get it.

            *I’m conscious, when I use the word ‘tested’ about any of these new drugs, that what the people behind them are testing for isn’t necessarily what we’d want them to be tested for. In other words, Bill Gates is looking for different outcomes when he thinks of ‘success’ or ‘efficacy’.

    Crazy news from New Zealand:

    Gas tax: New Zealand proposes plan to charge farmers for livestock burps

    “The New Zealand government has unveiled a draft plan to tax farmers for sheep and cattle burps in hopes of countering one of the country’s largest sources of greenhouse gas. If passed, the plan would make New Zealand the first country to have farmers pay for livestock emissions.

    The plan would also include economic incentives for farmers to reduce their emissions through changes to the animals’ diets, such as feeding them seaweed.”

    Next up, are they going to force us to stop eating beans and sauerkraut, otherwise we will have to pay a tax for our gas emissions on those? Why not try to bottle all this methane and actually use it as a power source?

    Let the cavalcade of cutthroats begin. The star of the show of course is Trump, although he probably won’t testify. The following is some background to see what Trump is facing, for those who might have some interest.

    ‘But Trump never conceded. Instead, both before and after Election Day, he tried to delegitimize the election results by disseminating a series of far-fetched and evidence-free claims of fraud. Meanwhile, with a ring of close confidants, Trump conceived and implemented unprecedented schemes to—in his own words—“overturn” the election outcome. Among the results of this “Big Lie” campaign were the terrible events of January 6, 2021—an inflection point in what we now understand was nothing less than an attempted coup. In March of 2022, a federal district court judge found it was more likely than not that Trump and his counsel violated two federal criminal prohibitions in their efforts to overturn the election.

    The issue of criminality is central to the congressional hearings commencing on June 9, 2022, convened by the House of Representatives’ Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Pending the Committee’s own interim or final reports, this publication serves as a guide to the hearings and the evidence the Committee and prosecutors may adduce as to whether Trump and his circle committed crimes. The report covers key players in the attempt to overturn the election, the known facts regarding their conduct, and the criminal law applicable to their actions.

    The report goes beyond prior analyses to provide the first in-depth treatment of the voluminous publicly available facts and the relevant law, including possible defenses. The report reviews the evidence as to whether Trump as a matter of law conspired with his outside counsel John Eastman, administration lawyer Jeffrey Clark, and others to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, by scheming to block the electoral count on January 6, 2021 and to subvert the Department of Justice’s election enforcement work. We similarly review the evidence as to whether Trump and Eastman violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) with their scheme to obstruct the congressional count. While this report is primarily focused on federal offenses, we also note evidence potentially probative of state criminal violations. Fulton County, Georgia is one jurisdiction currently investigating such evidence, and we briefly address the factual and legal analysis attendant to that investigation, which is also the subject of a separate report by some of the authors here.

    Our review of well-established law and public record evidence as it exists today leads us to believe that there is substantial evidence of all the essential elements of those federal and state offenses and suggests there is a substantial basis for prosecutors to go forward. This assessment of the currently available evidence does not of course amount to a final determination that Trump or others should ultimately be charged and prosecuted, or that there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt under the standards applied by prosecutors and courts.

    The report does not itself make factual findings—for example, around an individual’s intent, or consciousness of wrongdoing—but rather, evaluates how the law will interpret and characterize such elements in light of publicly reported facts. The decision whether to make criminal referrals rests with the January 6 Committee.

    The ultimate determination whether to prosecute must be made by the Department of Justice (DOJ)—and for Georgia state offenses, by the Fulton County District Attorney. But the issues bearing on those judgments are among the most important open questions as the Committee holds its hearings and issues its reports, and as prosecutors weigh next steps.’

    TS

    The goal is to keep Trump from the presidency. Personally, I don’t really care if they do. For years I was one of Trump’s biggest supporters here, so don’t you numbskull newcomers on this site start with the TDS bullshit. You might even say I had a ‘slobbering love affair’ with Trump, like John does now.

    While the show goes on, many patriots are still in prison, some in solitary confinement as Trump sits on his golden toilets.

    Metaphorically speaking, Trump left his soldiers to die on the battlefield. In reality, he let them rot in prison. He could have granted pardons, but in his own best interests he decided not to. Now he has the fucking temerity to say he’ll grant pardons if he’s reelected. You can spin it any way you want, but there’s no getting around it. He deserted and betrayed his soldiers like a selfish coward. His future ‘trumped’ the abandoned patriots.

    Sticking with Trump shows a dimwitted desperation. They should jail this scumbag not because of what he did, but because of what he didn’t do.

    Got that John? Trump is not the savior. The ‘man’ simply has no depth. Only his showmanship isn’t shallow. I want MAGA, but I want it without Trump. Go eat some more of his red meat, maybe you and he can muscle that ‘c’ back into America, and also jam a big ‘C’ onto that ugly, unbridled capitalism that you hold so dear.

    We need a new leader. You can’t get right with somebody this wrong.

    Bring it on, all you rocksucking, pathetic, muddled mental midgets, I’m looking forward to fustigating you to a fare-thee-well!!

    • SoftStarLight June 9, 2022 at 10:35 am #

      The bigger issue it would seem is that MAGA is simply an impossible ask now. America has been irretrievably destroyed. We live in a geographical space that is purported to be a country but is in fact not since there are no boundaries or definitions of such a country. We are ruled by a terroristic, genocidal occupation force that hates the majority of the people who live in this land and want them dead and gone. And they are doing everything within their power to achieve that goal and will not hesitate to do anything at all to achieve it. Once that acceptance is reached then there may be opportunities to move forward.

        Nice to see a few more radicals emerging into the bright spring sunlight and testing out their new wings.

        The reality of what is actually occurring is where jim should be focusing his attention. Ironically, he was well ahead of the curve 15 years ago, but incorrectly believed a democratic solution could be managed.

        I assume its life long indoctrination that blinded him to the more logical perspective that others who knew full well what was in store would make moves to assure their continued power and privilege. Kumbaya was the last thing they had in mind.

        So here we are, with a certain percentage reaching acceptance and all that it entails. Observe how SSL and JohnAZ are reacting, read their words, and consider potentially millions of others reaching the same conclusions.

        This is history being made right here, right now.

          Probably too it is normalcy bias which I think most people are subject to without realizing it or not. Like when you flip a switch you expect the light to turn on. It’s difficult to imagine that the light will not turn on once it does not. Even still more difficult to imagine that perhaps someone made it so that light doesn’t turn on anymore. I see now that with knowledge comes grief. And some things once you know them you wish you wouldn’t have to know them. Even so gaining understanding is like crossing a Rubicon and you can look back but you can’t go back anymore once you understand. So you might as well follow the others who know down the road that you now see.

        Yes, a hundred million aliens have been brought into America – and growing by millions every year. Legal or illegal, it just doesn’t matter. Social Capital is destroyed and the mystic chords of memory fray and break.

        I use the metaphor of cords for chords. In terms of actual sound, the choral chords are not just out of tune, but a shrieking mockery of their former glory, like chalk on a chalkboard. Just academic nonsense and not anything real or sound.

        America didn’t die of old age – it was murdered. But other Western societies have gone the same way. We can never resist the Capitalist lure of easy money via cheap labor. This beautiful beseeching siren turns out to be a cackling whore when seen in the light of day.

        • SoftStarLight June 9, 2022 at 2:32 pm #

          Those are interesting metaphors. Better then to stay in the darkness and to cut the chords. What one may wonder is if we are able to reconstitute a society and social capital at some point down the road how will the lure of easy money (whatever that may be at the time) and cheap labor be kept at bay so as not to lead to the destruction of everything once again? I suppose it is a rhetorical question, particularly for a scholar like you, as you have provided your thoughts on this many times that I am aware. But for others, hopefully the solution becomes clearer and is never forgotten.

          • Jarek June 9, 2022 at 3:02 pm #

            The quote from Lincoln’s Inaugural Address:

            The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

            Jarek: The answer is a different kind of man, one who listens to his better angels – or those of others if he is deaf to his own. Americans so far have refused, too in love with profit and their consumer goods and lifestyle.

            So much so that they brought in cheap labor to under cut their own brothers and shipped our jobs overseas. Was that enough to wake people up to the dangers of Capitalism and the treachery of the Corporations? Nope.

            They haven’t suffered enough. So they will suffer more. Those who refuse to govern themselves will be governed by others – less sympathetic to their condition!

            As Christ said, Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all these things will be added unto you. We can have nice things and neighborhoods, but first we have to put first things first.

    No. One There was thousands of affidavits by election workers acknowledging fraud. You only heard the Deep State side of it, ALL of the judges refusing to hear the affidavits. The judicial system died with that debacle.

    Yes, I will support Trump because IMHO, there is no one else that is strong enough or anti Deep State enough to challenge his leadership position.

    No one that sees the global domination over the US as the number one threat to us.

    Yes, Trump let 1/6 out of control, with his ego, I believe he was overwhelmed by the degree of support the protests gave him. By the time the degree of anger by the crowd was ascertained, it was too late. The crowd “attacked” on their own volition, they were responsible for their actions. They were pissed by a Congress they believe betrayed them. In hindsight, with the residual of doubt about election fraud, it may be they were betrayed.

    Anger! Where is the congressional investigation of the BLM riots? Of the takeover of Seattle? Of the destruction of Portland? Of the South side of Chicago? Etc, etc.

    The degree of Deep State bias in the country is astounding. Nearly 100% of power positions.
    If you agree with the ascent of the Liberal side in this country, fine.

    If not, if you come up with some one who is as anti Deep State as Trump, it would be a good thing.

      One more,

      How do you feel about the state of EVERYTHING today compared to two years ago.

      It took Trump four years to get jobs, unemployment, foreign policy, into the quiescent state it was.

      If you think we are better today, please vote Democratic.

      If you believed in the same things I do about America, you could not even consider voting Democrat, for the destruction of America, no matter who the conservative guy is.

      • Redneck Liberal June 9, 2022 at 10:26 pm #

        Yep. Pick the right-wing nutjob, because he’s NOT. a Democrat.

        • JohnAZ June 9, 2022 at 11:42 pm #

          No, pick the right wing candidate to avoid the Left wing nut job that backs groups that want to destroy America.

          There, much better.

          • Redneck Liberal June 10, 2022 at 5:16 pm #

            But still deluded, JAZ.

      • tucsonspur June 10, 2022 at 12:21 am #

        Trump is finished, accept that reality like I do, both of you. John, your game is over. Try to think. Of course I don’t think we are better off today, but Trump time is over.

        We need new leadership desperately, but we probably won’t get it.
        I want to vote Bellicose Bohemian, but that party is still in its nascent stages.

        You should know by now that for the most part I do believe in the America that you believe in. You make it sound like I would consider a Democrat which is unfair and preposterous.

        J, stop being so foolish. Better than the hoi polloi, as if you don’t consider yourself so.

    • Jarek June 9, 2022 at 12:44 pm #

      A well balanced perspective compared to Tusc’s idealism. He always wants to be better than the hoi polloi, so he can never support mass movements, even ones that are necessary.

      I think De Santis is the better man, but Trump is the overwhelming favorite. De Santis will have to wait his turn.

      • tucsonspur June 10, 2022 at 2:34 am #

    • Paula D June 9, 2022 at 12:48 pm #

      The crowd didn’t attack. The attack started while the majority of people were still listening to Trump speak.
      The Deep State set the whole charade up.
      Look at the people who were breaking windows. They were typical antifa.
      Look at the cops opening the doors.
      Look at the crowd following the one cop, who led them to the chambers, which was framed in the media as “White supremacist racist Trump supporters hunt down black cop”.
      The whole thing was obviously orchestrated.
      Don’t fall for the framing.

      • Hereward the Woke June 10, 2022 at 10:00 am #

        The point is, Paula, that it was always going to be a set up. If Trump is so brilliant, he should have known that it would be. Rule Number one of warfare: ask what your enemy wants you to do – and don’t do it.

    • Paula D June 9, 2022 at 12:50 pm #

      In other words, Trump did not “control” the crowd.
      Also, the crowd was not pissed that Congress betrayed them, they were there in the hopes that Congress would listen to facts and reason and do their job.
      They had no idea what machinations were going on and what the tiny group of saboteurs was doing in the Congressional building, with professional film crews lined up to film it.

      • MaryQueen June 9, 2022 at 7:48 pm #

        Well said and perfect synopsis.

    • SoftStarLight June 9, 2022 at 2:57 pm #

      I still feel betrayed by the election but also realize it’s really nothing that can be done about it. Trump was correct in the very beginning of his campaign before he was even elected when he said the system was totally rigged. It’s too bad he hired so many people who were system dwellers rather than system disruptors. I agree with J that DeSantis is the better of the two when side by side with Trump. And he is popular and populist, however, Trump has more capital than DeSantis. So Trump could rather easily assume the reigns again of the countermovement. I do think however he needs some rebranding and re-messaging and he will have work to do to stitch his base back together because he has lost a lot along the margins in the last 2 years.

      • Disaffected June 9, 2022 at 8:50 pm #

        It was about Trump in 2020, but the larger point is that it will be about anybody who gets in the way in the future. Speculating about this or that fool getting elected is a waste of time. Someone will be appointed to represent the powers that be whether they’re popular to the masses or not. Of course it’s nice to have someone popular – depending on the circumstances at the time – but it’s certainly not necessary. “The Joe Biden,” for instance, is providing an invaluable service as the doddering old fool sacrificial lamb during a time of turmoil. My guess is that if things continue to go downhill he’ll probably be a good bet for reappointment, provided he lives that long. If not, Heals Up/Jiggles will probably be a good choice. Just the right amount of vapid cluelessness and fat-bottomed sex appeal to stir up the bare amount of support.

        • Hereward the Woke June 10, 2022 at 10:03 am #

          Can I make a slightly counter-factual point here? There are actually a few “pluses” of Trump being cheated out of victory in 2020. The main one is that there would have almost certainly have been some economic turmoil anyway, whoever won the election, due to the insane lockdown policies during the Covid hysteria. Maybe it’s better that it’s Biden who has to deal with it, than Trump. If – and this is a big if – there is still a shred of sanity left, the Dems will be out of power for a very long time after their “attempts” to manage the economic upheaval.

  100. cowbell81 June 9, 2022 at 11:14 am #

    So Bedpan Biden tripped up the stairs to AF1 again yesterday, on his way to see Kimmel. Then on Kimmel he basically said all of his political opponents should be locked up because they don’t play by his rules.

    Okay Biden Boy, have you ever thought that maybe it is you and your ilk (namely Hunter) that don’t play by the rules and not only should be locked up but should be executed?

    • JohnAZ June 9, 2022 at 11:51 am #

      Cowbell

      Executions will not help.

      There are areas of this country, concentrated in and around cities, that will vote liberal as they require the nanny, gimme state of the Democrats.

      Balkanization is the only option that will “solve” the current anger and division of the country. Politics are incapable.

      Only problem is, if it separated conservative and liberal, the gimmes would be fighting at the border for handouts as the liberal agenda collapsed.

      • cowbell81 June 9, 2022 at 12:33 pm #

        I would love nothing more than to see the Balkanization of the former USA territory. I don’t think there would be a lot of fighting at the borders for handouts. Basically, if you are a card carrying resident of a gimmie state, you will not be allowed in to live or work in the freedom states. The gimmie states would eventually implode upon themselves and the freedom loving states would eventually take them over and do things right.

        All the gimmies would likely flee the newly formed freedom states once the boundaries are drawn, so it would provide a clean slate, much like seeing the rats flee from a sinking ship and then drown if they cannot find some flotsam to cling to.

        If the Russians execute a well coordinated nuclear strike on the USA homeland where it counts, then this may hasten the Balkanization process. One can only hope that we live to see the day.

    • BackRowHeckler June 9, 2022 at 12:24 pm #

      Bedpan definitely looking a bit wobbly, but did you see the way he fielded Kimmel’s a$$ki$$ing, softball question? Just Like a pro who’s spent the last 50 years in DC.

      JohnAZ, the way it plays out is that the seceding states will eventually restore (conquer/occupy) the blue zones to bring them back under a new, reconstituted federal union.

      It may not happen in 10 years, or even 50, but it will most certainly occur within 100+. The old forged mono culture was created by a shared purpose of conquest, fueled by abundant surplus to build, deploy and fight our imperial wars.

      But without a shared national purpose, without the abilty to (artificially) finance both guns and butter, as the realities of scarcity begin to really bite, we can observe today the bitter, festering divisions and rivalries already erupting.

      All it takes to reach a flash point is when some critical mass of people move beyond denial. They then stop trying to rationalize or explain what’s happening, and eventually tire of venting their anger at Trump et al.

      Next comes a period of reflection, despondency at what, against their most fervent wishes and beliefs, actually, truly has happened. At that point, one is reduced to raw acceptance, a shrugging non chalance of “c’est la guerre”.

      This is what I’m watching for, as more public voices and emerging, growing sentiment begins to reflect the acknowledgement of our true state of affairs.

      • Disaffected June 9, 2022 at 6:02 pm #

        The “united” states were always an artificial construct. Once split, I doubt they’ll ever unite again. If they do, it will be based on entirely new arrangements and concerns having little or nothing to do with the way things were before. And presuming some kind of foreign authority – my guess is the Russians and the Chinese at the very least – will be required to come in and take control of the nukes, that authority or authorities will certainly have a large role to play in determining our future. And since we know that DC will not give up willingly, I think that also presumes at the very least a limited exchange of nukes and whatever other WMDs the DC boys can muster on their way out. In other words, there might not actually be much of the US left to fight over for a while until the contaminated dust from all that settles.

        The US was always meant to be a “winner take all or go bust” venture right from the start, so it will have lived up to expectations. It burned exceedingly brightly as the brightest star in the political universe for a very short time, and then imploded spectacularly based on its own built in internal contradictions. Whether China and Russia can do any better will remain to be seen (assuming they too don’t get taken out in global Armageddon), but they’ve at least got lasting viable cultures that have passed the test of time to base their efforts on to start.

        The only possible “smart play” against all that is to de-dollarize and get the fuck out right now, and even that is fraught with risk. If you don’t have deep roots somewhere else already it’s almost certainly too late to make them now. And even if you do, knowing which places will be safe, when, and for how long is almost impossible to predict as well. The risk landscape will be constantly changing as the great powers fight to emerge as the leaders of whatever comes next. In other words, it’s all a crapshoot no matter what, with the only guarantee being that life will likely be very, very interesting for most of us for the rest of our lives and that we will all die from one thing or another along the way, which was always in the cards in the first place. Everything else is theatrics.

        • beantownbill. June 9, 2022 at 10:46 pm #

          I believe a one nuke war isn’t possible. If one goes off, then the other side automatically launches – that’s why there hasn’t been a nuclear war yet. Both sides know it’s all or nothing. If there’s a terrorist nuclear bombing, that’s slightly different. Such a terrorist attack would be limited, no more than a few bombs. And we would know pretty fast what group did it. Then they would be gone for good. And maybe we’d take out more groups just for the hell of it because we’d be incredibly pissed. I think a mighty pissed-off America would frighten all our enemies.

          This is why I don’t worry too much about an all-out nuclear war. Of course I could be wrong, but if I am nobody’s going to be around to say,”I told you so.”

          • Disaffected June 10, 2022 at 9:45 am #

            Well, I do know that the current emphasis in the US is toward smaller, tactical nukes, for the express purpose of initiating a limited conflict. MAD still applies with the ICBMs and all that, but I think both US and Russia have realized that such a posture is too limiting to suit their purposes in what is now a multi-polarity world. Realizing that escalation remains a legitimate concern as well.

            But guaranteed, if the current illegitimate monster in DC finds itself mortally threatened it will do what all such monsters inevitably do: fight for its life with everything it has.

        • JohnAZ June 10, 2022 at 12:54 am #

          Good summary Dis.

          The Constitution is what? A piece of paper, that espouses rule by law.

          What has made America work is the faith of the people in the Constitution. Without the faith, the Constitution becomes an old piece of paper.

          That is what the WEF led Democrats have been trying to destroy for twenty years, the faith of people in the document, the fabric of the country. The GOP, in part are just as guilty. Even if Trump runs again, he needs to run as the leader of the Constitution Party and flush the Cheney filled GOP.

    In 1785 Thomas Jefferson wrote to his fifteen-year-old nephew, Peter Carr, regarding what he considered the best form of exercise: “… I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.”

    One modern writer recommends “gun ups”…..

    • Anthea June 10, 2022 at 12:26 am #

      Jefferson’s advice was outstanding. The possession of a weapon that will enable you to defend yourself or others produces exactly the effects Jefferson stated. It is transforming. I can say this from my own experience of going into a difficult situation where I was in some sense armed (though not with a gun at that time) and mentally prepared to use the weapon, if necessary.

      • gustafson.robert.22 June 10, 2022 at 3:25 am #

        Owning a gun is great, but its not the best form of exercise. That’s bow-hunting, as everyone knows (haha). Bow-hunting and basketball are my recommendations to every 25-year-old in my circle, in addition to a firearm.

    Want to buy some weapons? Ukrainian Army Officers and politicians might have whatever you need for sale on the Dark Web. A Javelin Missile System? You got it? $30,000, brand new, never used. Rifles, grenades, grenade launchers, night goggles, ammo, helmets, artillery and rocket systems … if we don’t got it, you don’t need it. Check in periodically for heavy artillery systems and medium range rockets, which should be arriving any day. Discounts available for those paying in cash.

    And here we have the possibility of an ISIS army surrounding Brussels, hammering Euroland HQ with field artillery and tactical rockets, each one stamped with ‘Made in the USA’.

      Driving on the Southeast Expressway is becoming an adventure. I’ve always driven fast, but not reckless. Now I drive more slowly and try to stay away from cars. It’s not because I’m old, it’s because I don’t know what nutcakes are on the road.

      Some hit, and some miss. The interwebs is a mystery, no matter who tries to figure it out. 😀

      Trackbacks, pingbacks cripplin’ mankind
      Dead kings, many things I can’t define
      Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
      Incense and peppermints, the color of time
      Who cares what games we choose
      Little to win, but nothing to lose

    “2,200 prominent Spaniards, including the leader of one of the country’s largest pharma companies, bought fake COVID vaccine Certificates.”

    “Now why would the Head of Spain’s largest pharma co want to fake their vaccine status?”

      If you go to the actual article, they’re still spreading this bollocks, despite the fact that even the actual Gates psycho has said it doesn’t stop transmission:

      “What is disconcerting, is that many of these people are involved in professions that meant a high level of contact with others. Essentially, they cared so little for those around them, they did not bother to ensure that those they came into contact with were kept safe and free from Covid-19.”

    Swedish media is reporting many cases of young people dropping dead, calling it “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”. Health officials are at at a loss as to the cause, more research is needed.

      Here, too.

      It is all just a big mystery, you see.

      “Vaccines have not been associated or linked to sudden death in adults or children in general. Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been associated in extremely rare cases following some vaccination efforts but cardiac issues following a COVID-19 diagnosis are common.

      The incidence of COVID-19 in communities is closely linked with higher numbers of sudden cardiac arrest incidence and lower survival rates. In fact, the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes Foundation recommends that all SADS patients receive a COVID-19 vaccination.”

      So there you have it. Officially.

    Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?

    ANSWER:

    1) The ZIO-GLOBALIST OLIGARCHS (“Kosher Nostra”) & FRIENDS (the BEST friends MONEY and POWER can buy)

    2) The DC VERMIN (BOTH PARTIES) who continue to do the bidding of their paymasters (see above).
