Nope. I've already said that George answered his own question when he asked where were all the good people of conscience
in government. He mentioned ,in Life Is Worth Losing, the people who often end up assassinated: Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, JFK,
RFK, MLK, John Lennon, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X. Folks who talk about peace, love and doing good to one another. These folks
RARELY get elected to high office and those that do end up dead!

Super-Dooper Weapon: the children's cartoon Masha and the Bear .
It's obvious that Masha and the Bear is a nefarious Russian plot to steal the precious
bodily fluids of our children!
We must be constantly vigilant. The CIA, FBI, MI6, NSA, and Homeland Security must be
notified about the Masha Threat. YouTube must censor Masha. And blue check-marked Twitter
police must condemn anyone who watches Masha.
This one didn't have the word 'weaponize', close though: "opening a new front in its spy
battles".

American intelligence officials said the Russians were aiming to steal research to

While Trump was rejected by electorate (Biden got 7 million votes more -- mainly in costal
states and large cities), Biden was elected only because of extention of mail-in voting and
because he was not Trump. Now people regret their choice, while main-in voting "irregularities"
deprive Biden administration of the legitimacy. Moreover due to Biden neocon foreign policy and
pandering to woke Bolsheviks, many people have "post-election remorse," But in two-party system
you can do nothing about it: the train already left the station.
Now the Biden administration, headed by a man a few years too old to be a boomer, entertains
ambitions to take a great leap forward. But wait. Does a transformation require a mandate? By
what mandate does the Biden administration undertake the work of irrevocably altering American
society? Do Mr. Biden and his people claim that the dogmatic and occasionally hysterical
certitude of the woke is sufficient warrant to turn the country upside down?
There was no mandate in the outcome of the last election. November 2020 merely confirmed
that the U.S. remains split precisely down the middle, 50-50, as it has been for more than 20
years, since the deadlock of Al Gore and George W. Bush and the hanging chads of Florida.

M Melissa Firestone SUBSCRIBER 49 minutes ago Vote counting continued on and on in pivotal
states in 2020. That's why 2016 was so different than 2020. And in 2020, pivotal states were
decided by less than 21,000 votes - WI, AZ, and GA. And PA and MI were more competitive than
the polls showed going into election night. Votes continued to be counted days after the
election and as we know in some cases weeks. That's why this wasn't a mandate for Biden. It was
a rejection of Trump by the marginal voter - the ones who in tight elections determine
outcomes. The same was true for Trump when he won - Hillary was so hated by so many voting
blocks the Republicans could have run any of their potential nominees and would have won.
G George Nesterenko SUBSCRIBER 1 hour ago Claiming the WH, and both chambers of Congress

The only measure by which the election was 'close' was the electoral college. By the number

mandate.
And as demographics shift, the mandate deepens. Which is why the GOP is so adamant against
preventing a DC or Puerto Rico statehood. An unpopular, shrinking minority is desperately
holding on to any iota of power. Not 'half the country', as Mr. Morrow repeats on several
occasions.
A national rebirth is desperately needed. Although I doubt it will happen under Biden, we
can at least get on our way.

According to the Austfailian media, it was a triumph. I kid you not. They will lie and lie
and lie again about Biden's dementia, until the bitter end, and at his stage, once the meds
lose their effectiveness, the end can come quickly. Perhaps he'll rip off his nappy and fling
faeces at the fawning presstitutes. Dream on. Or, as in the comedy, Bidet will mutter 'I'm
going to the toilet. I mean, I'm going to the toilet NOW!'.
It is always helpful to remember the words of "Arthur Jensen": "You are an old man who
thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are
no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only
one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate,
multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks,
rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which
determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things

Well, those are hardly trick questions or subtle ones. And Biden temporizes perfectly well
when he wants to. He didn't want to. I'd be mildly surprised if he hadn't been told to expect
these particular questions. Stephanopolous has form for lobbing cooperative softballs at the
right sort of democrats.
Pretty sure this was exactly the message Biden's people wanted to send, whether because
they really think this sort of thing will "work" on the world stage or because they've gunned

If your interpretation of "what Stephie-poo was thinking" and what Biden was expecting are
correct, then Biden is indeed the same sort of Clintonite filth that Stephanopoulous himself
is.
And that would be very unfortunate. It means that Biden is just as war-risky with Russia
as Clinton would have been. And yes, the massed millions of "Putin stole the election" Pink
Kitty Kap Klintonites want, need and demand this sort of agitprop. They and their precious
spokes-creeps like that anti-Russianitic MSNBC news show hostess whose name I absolutely
cannot remember just now.
And do you remember who her mentor was? Roger Aisles. Yeah, him. And after an extensive
education, including a Rhodes scholarship, she sells her integrity out on her program for
about $30,000 a day now-
Maybe she never had any integrity to begin with. Maybe she was always and only about
working the media rackets, just like her reciprocal one-schtik-phoney opposite number Tucker
Carlson over at Fox.
Let's start with comic relief: the "leader of the free world" has pledged to prevent China
from becoming the "leading" nation on the planet. And to fulfill such an exceptional mission,
his "expectation" is to run again for president in 2024. Not as a hologram. And fielding the
same running mate.
It goes back to The Democrat Run Mainstream Media's narrative that Black men can only be
the poor helpless victims and NEVER the apex predators.
Which is why they only say that Black men are murdered by guns but NEVER that Black men
are murdered by other Black men. The only time they do not blame the guns is in the much less
common man bites dog White male on Black male murders.
You know the perpetrator is a Black male and not a White male when the headline is a gun
all by itself murdered a Black man!
"... This whole process was intended to be for seriously delinquent kids/parents, but, you know bureaucracy – gotta check the boxes rather than just have a 30 second phone call "please email Mrs. ABC when your kids have been absent." ..."

After that BS, we got another certified letter, so I went to the school. "I thought we had this thing settled. What do we have
to do now?" "Oh, nah, we just sent one to everybody. It was easier that way. You're fine." How much do certified letters cost
now, Jonathan? Oh, it's free though, right?
They've got plenty of money, all of them. Wait until the SHTF. Then we'll see some frugality and some legitimate complaints.
California public schools get their funding according to the number of students present. So if your kid is a half hour late,
you get an urgent call from the attendance office. Every kid is worth money to them. Maybe something like that is driving the
overreaction you describe.
I can see why this is unfinished work, with lots more research required, requiring quite a bit more grant money. It's hard

sophistication and progress of a civilization. When satire and humor dies history teaches us
so will that civilization. Sadly I don't expect this video to be allowed on US youtube.
Not the OP, but I'll answer. American expat here. I spent years trying to get people to at
least talk with me on issues. They just wanted to watch TV and eat fast food and let the
plutocrats run things into the ground. So I left, 10 years ago, to seek meaning and adventure
elsewhere. Haven't looked back.
I settled into a "third world anti-freedom authoritarian regime", where I enjoyed all the
freedoms I hadn't realized I had not known in America, and built a life for myself. When
I'd talk to people back home they'd tell me I was crazy for wanting to stay in an
"authoritarian nation", and ask wasn't I afraid? They didn't understand why I didn't want to
come back home. I haven't visited America in ages. I can no longer relate to America's
Afro-centric, virus-mania culture. Turning on American MSM shows is like watching the news from
Mars.
Would I leave the life I've created for myself to go back to the place I grew up and help
save the people there if I thought there was enough of them willing to fight? Maybe, if I could
do it without jeopardizing my family here. A part of me would like to.
But the sad reality is, the people in the United States do not want to be saved .
They're comfortable . Half the people I talk to back there brag to me about the vaccine
they got. I just talked to one who boasted how it "wasn't available to the masses yet" and she
had to trick her way into getting an mRNA shot. 130 million doses have been administered in the
US already, to a nation of 330 million. That doesn't seem like something "unavailable to the
masses."
So, do I want to go back to the US, to stand there screaming at people on the street like
some homeless bum as they line up to get their COVID shots, as armies of them march with
#BlackLiveMatters signs, surrounded by police protection, as the idiots on the left scream
about Russia and the idiots on the right scream about China, while nobody talks about the #1
foreign influencer of American public policy by far, because to mention its name is to have
one's life destroyed? I have better things to do with the precious few years I get on this
Earth.
When enough of the people wake up, when they are ready to be led, I may yet answer the call
to leadership when that call seriously goes out, 15 or 20 or 25 years from now. But at the
present moment, the American people are still so far from wanting anything other than football,
fast food, and racial equality that it really is not a place I have any interest in being, nor
one I have anything much to offer.

One of the reasons the new feudalism has such a bright future is that the serfs are
allowed to feast like kings and queens on rich animal-based, fiberless and highly processed
foods 21 times (or more) a week -- and they have the gout, heart disease, strokes,
diabetes, cancers and medical bills to prove it. Once you're woke you'll understand the
sexism of thinking obesity and sickness shouldn't be accepted. But exercise, weight loss
programs and public education (a la smoking cessation) aren't nearly as profitable as
injecting Bill Gates's poison into 7 billion customers and tracking and controlling human

FOX on the U.S. meeting w/China in Alaska re-visited the consensus from all of the
dimwitted hosts is that it was a dark day for the U.S. because ...
1. China insulted us because Biden is weak.
2. China insulted us because the Democrats have torn down our country for 4yrs
3. China insulted us because the Democrats helped BLM burn down our country
4. China insulted us because the Democrats emboldened them ! ! !
There is actually a much, much, more straightforward explanation that never occurs to
these dimbulbs, China insulted us because we insulted them for 10 minutes. We
accused them of aggression, genocide, crushing democracy and being evildoers. Only a Neocon
slaps someone in the face and expects them to smile back at you.
Biden does seem to be keeping one promise he made from the campaign, namely that "nothing
will fundamentally change", he is basically continuing all of Trump's terrible foreign
policies (Iran, China, Russia, Syria & Venezuela). In many ways he's being even more
hawkish, issuing clownish threats to both Russia and China and even to the steadfast US
vassal Germany over Nord Stream 2. One has to ask the question, just how much of Trumps
foreign policy was his own. Afghanistan and Suria I think yes; Israel and Saudi Arabia maybe;
China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Germany; I think the interagency consensus (aka the "Deep
State") is setting those policies and will push it into overdrive under the Biden/Harris
Regime.
With Respect to Biden, I saw that Max Keiser is already comparing Joe Biden to Borris
Yeltsin as a President who presided over the near breakup of the State and the rise of a

recently installed "president" who can't make it up a flight of stairs or give a press

History of American presidency had worse falls as we are reminded by New
York Post .
"President Biden's wince-inducing series of stumbles while boarding Air Force One on
Friday calls to mind Gerald Ford's 1975 fall on the same stairs -- a minor tumble that
forever tarred him as a clumsy oaf.
Chevy Chase pilloried Ford in a series of ruthless and hilarious "Saturday Night Live"
skits -- even though the object of his ridicule was just 62 years old, and an ex-University
of Michigan football star who avidly skied and golfed."
It was the very athletic ability of Gerald Ford that magnified his fall, all the way down.
When Biden started cautiously and kept his hand on the rail at all times, Ford climbed "with
a spring in his step", but, alas, he missed one step.
I'm slightly curious: if the USA insists that there is a "rules-based international order"
then - by definition - there must exist a rule-book i.e. a compendium of those rules.
That is axiomatic, because how else would anyone know if they are a rule-breaker, or when
they are in compliance with the rules.
Otherwise this isn't a "rules-based" system at all, it is merely a world based upon US
dictates.
Has any reptile of the press ever asked a State Department flunky for a copy of "the
rules"?
Wouldn't it be nice if the CPC starts backing the CPUSA with the kinds of resources that
the US backs their regime change operations through NED and USAID? That would be a game
changer.
I suspect Blinken/Sullivan/Biden need to show that they are "tough" to the Chinese in
public because otherwise, they will be roasted by the 78 millions Trump supporters for being
"weak" to China compared with Trump. Behind the close door, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi
characterized the talks to be NOT "very tense." I believe Biden actually is quite keen to get
some "achievements" from the Chinese side, probably not realistically in this meeting, but
hopefully in the near future.
Ha, but the weather is cold, the hotel is shoddy, and the Chinese delegate had to have
instant noodle for lunch - that sounds like a very low budget "Hongmen Banquet" by the
Americans. Maybe they are still waiting for their 1.9 trillion stimulus check?
Is not that what we see now was always the true cost of "electing" (via cheating) the
greatest crook of them all plus a dementia sufferer? Both POTUS and the vice are completely
useless but highly manipulable. This why they were pushed forward and why the presidency was
delivered into their lap. But the main problem with manipulable is the inconsistency of the
manipulation usually due to the disagreement amongst the manipulators due to their differing
interests. Simply, the model of a dummy in the spotlight and the multiple string pullers in
the shadow is not a stable model. It is a model on the opposite extreme of the good
leadership, which is stable as long as the leader lasts (cough, cough ... Putin).
Regarding all the doomsayers on US who Martyanov joined lately and unoriginally (concept
sold long ago and much better by another Russian - Dimitry Orlov), they are not completely
wrong but wrongish. Whenever I read of some crap in the US, I think - was this the way it was
in the Chinese Empire, the seemingly endless corruption, depravity and complete and constant
lying? But look at China now. If US does not manage to destroy the World during its decline,
it will come back better and stronger. But one or two generations will suffer and many
contemporaries will run away, as they are running away from the cities right now. As things
get even worse they will start running away from the country en masse.
The problem with coronavirus vaccine is similar to the problem with flu vaccine: the virus
mutates and it is unclear how effective the vaccination will be against the next dominant
strain.
Did you know that "49 percent of GOP men say they won't get vaccinated"? It's true.
According to a recent article in The Hill:
"Nearly half of U.S. men who identify as Republicans said they have no plans to get the
coronavirus vaccine, according to a new PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll released Thursday.
The study, which surveyed 1,227 U.S. adults from March 3 to March 8, found that approximately
30 percent of Americans overall said they do not plan on getting vaccinated.
The poll found a higher amount of opposition among Republicans, with 41 percent saying
they would not get one of the three federally approved coronavirus vaccines and 49 percent of
Republican men saying the same. Fifty percent of GOP men said they would get the vaccine or
had already got it. One percent was unsure.
I believe that people who refuse to take the vaccine will be ridiculed, humiliated,
scapegoated, deprived and isolated. Judging from the COVID 19 situation we are already living
in fascist society where people are treated as the state property.
Once you you look at the vaccination statistics, it is clear that the psychopaths are
winning. There is no escape from them. Sooner or later they will come for people like me. I
am trying to prepare myself for a painful and slow death from starvation/disease/maltreatment
in a detention/concentration/reeducation camp.
My hat is off to Mr. Whitney for an excellent article. And thank God for a real human
being and American patriot as Gov. Kristi Noem. I thought there was no such thing in
politics. This woman should be our president not the fake and false "woman of color" standing
in the wings salivating. The media can't tell if she's African or from India. Does it matter
that she was the least favored candidate in the primaries? Not to to demoncrats. All they do
is pander to color and gender confusion. This should be an insult to any real person of color
like me and it most definitely is. When are people going to realize that they are being
exploited and manipulated? We are all citizens and those sincerely aspiring to be citizens.
Not pawns in a politica chess game that no one wins but the politicians...
Apparently Chuck Todd is a
climatologist and virologist . He doesn't ASK Fauci if climate change will cause more
pandemics - or how even soon that might happen - he simply states as fact that
it will happen. For his part, Fauci largely avoids the issue, responding as generically as
possible. LOL!
In this indirect way, Americans have now been put on notice: expect more pandemics and
continuing restrictions in the not-too-distant future.
Who says our media aren't informative?!?!/sarc
Expert Chuck Todd fails to note that the world was long overdue a pandemic. Chuckie also
fails to note that highly-paid health authorities - that planned for years for the next
pandemic - failed miserably in protecting us. What health authority questioned Trump's early
lies that SARS-COV-2 was no worse than the flu?
Of course Biden is senile, but from the speech it is clear that his clique is also far from
being the sharpest knifes in the drawer.
The problem with coronavirus vaccine is similar to the problem with flu vaccine: the virus
mutates and it is unclear how effective the vaccination will be against the next dominant
strain.
Also it is unclear whether for people, say, over 70 the danger of vaccine outweighs the
danger of the virus (especially if they live alone with no children in the household -- children
usually bring new infection into the family). Half of Covid-19 deaths are over age 80 (median age
of victims is 82). If you are over age 80 and live in a big city or in a family with children ,
you have elevated, probably a 1 in 6 chance of dying from Covid-19
And again big difference is whether you live in the large city like NYC or somewhere in the
suburbs, say 70 miles from the nearest large city. People in the city are in much higher danger
to get the infection.
"Trust the government", says Biden, and yet, in survey after survey, we see that trust in
government is lower now than any time in our 245-year history. And, for good reason: the public
health officials, the media, and their Democrat allies in the statehouses have consistently and
deliberately misled the public on nearly every aspect of the pandemic...
Take a look:
"When I came into office you may recall I set a goal that many of you said was kind of way
over the top. I said I intended to get 100 million shots in people's arms in my first 100
days in office . Tonight, I can say we're not only going to meet that goal, we're going
to beat that goal. Because we're actually on track to reach this goal of 100 million shots in
arms on my 60th day in office. No other country in the world has done this, none. And I want
to talk about the next steps we're thinking about.
"Tonight, I'm announcing that I will direct all states, tribes, and territories to make
all adults, people 18 and over, eligible to be vaccinated no later than May 1. Let me say
that again. All adult Americans will be eligible to get a vaccine no later than May 1. That's
much earlier than expected.
"And let me be clear. That doesn't mean everyone's going to have that shot immediately,
but it means you'll be able to get in line beginning May 1. Every adult will be eligible to
get their shot. And to do this, we're going to go from a million shots a day that I
promised in December before I was sworn in, to maintaining, beating our current pace of 2
million shots a day, outpacing the rest of the world "
What does that mean?
It means the virus is on its last legs . It means there is enough immunity in the
community that the rate of infection is falling like a stone . Viruses don't suddenly
decide to pack their bags and leave town. No. They run out of susceptible hosts to infect. And
the reason they run out of susceptible hosts to infect, is because more people have already had
the infection and either survived or died. Either way, the pool of susceptible hosts has shrunk
dramatically. This is a long way of saying that ' At present, there is no reason to get
vaccinated.' There is no reason to inject an experimental and potentially-lethal substance
into your bloodstream to counter an infection that is nearly kaput. Capisce?
Biden knows this, his speech writers know this, and the deep-pocket oligarchs who shoehorned
his sorry a** into the White House by dumping truckloads of mail-in ballots at voting stations
around the country in the wee-hours of the morning; they know it, too.
...
Of course, he knows it. He knows the whole thing is a fraud, but that won't stop him from
doing what he's been doing for the last 50 years; carrying water for corporate honchos and
billionaire busybodies who see vaccination as an essential steppingstone to their glorious new
order. Biden is merely the face-man for this sinister project; a pallid, inconsequential
cog that helps to move the machinery of tyranny forward. That's Biden in a nutshell. Here's
more from the speech:
"I need you, the American people. I need you. I need every American to do their part. I
need you to get vaccinated when it's your turn and when you can find an opportunity.
And to help your family, your friends, your neighbors get vaccinated as well. Because
here's the point.
"If we do all this, if we do our part, if we do this together, by July the 4, there's a
good chance you, your families and friends, will be able to get together in your backyard or
in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day."
Get it? In other words, either you get vaccinated or no 4th of July for you!
... Do these people have any idea how despicable they are? The government's job is to
provide accurate, well-researched, empirical information on matters of public interest, like
vaccines. The government has no right to employ private contractors to persuade,
indoctrinate or brainwash the American people in order to promote the cynical and
self-serving agenda of power-mad elites and money-grubbing corporations. That is a massive
"overreach".
Last spring, the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to admit patients who
had recently been treated for Covid-19.
This led to a spike in Covid deaths inside nursing homes, which are filled with elderly
people in the highest risk category for serious Covid-19 cases.
When the State Health Department issued a report on the nursing home deaths, one of Cuomo's
aides rewrote it to remove the total count of 9,250 deaths related to the policy.
The reasoning was that the death count outpaced New Jersey's -- with the second highest
nursing home death rate in the county -- by almost 3,000.
The aide who rewrote the report with the intention to mislead the public worked as a
Professor of Government Ethics at NYU's law school, before joining the Cuomo administration in
"ethics and law enforcement matters."
"The aide who rewrote the report with the intention to mislead the public worked as a
Professor of Government Ethics at NYU's law school, before joining the Cuomo administration
in "ethics and law enforcement matters."
I worked in medical ethics for a decade, so I'm not surprised. Especially since he did
that work at a LAW SCHOOL . If we didn't already know it, the focus at law schools is on
teaching students that it is their professional duty to argue for any point of view they are
paid for. And it is the professional task of "ethics experts" to make the argument that the
course of action preferred by their bosses or their institutions is the most "ethical" among
alternatives. Never mind that it's generally the most profitable as well. Pointing out the
actual moral destitution of the chosen acts is NOT conducive to a long career. Trust me on
that one.
The short-cut through the verbiage is generally, if someone refers to "morality", they're
actually talking about what's Right or Wrong. When they mention "ethics", however, they're
discussing what you can get away with.

Disposable people are indispensable. Who else would fight the wars? Who would preach? Who
would short derivatives? Who would go to court and argue both sides? Who would legislate? Who
would sell red hots at the old ball game?
For too long disposable people have been misrepresented as destitute, homeless, unemployed,
or at best precariously employed. True, the destitute, the homeless, the unemployed and the
precarious are indeed treated as disposable but most disposable people pursue respectable
professions, wear fashionable clothes, reside in nice houses, and keep up with the Jones.
Disposable people are defined by what they do not produce. They do not grow food. They do
not build shelters. They do not make clothes. They also do not make the tractors used to grow
food, the tools to build shelters or the equipment to make clothes.
Although disposable people do not produce necessities what they do is not unnecessary. It is
simply that the services they provide are not spontaneously demanded as soon as one acquires a
bit of additional income. One is unlikely, however, to engage the services or purchase the
goods produced by disposable people unless one is in possession of disposable income.
Disposable income is the basis of disposable people. Conversely, disposable people are the
foundation of disposable income.
I was joking about Biden being reanimated, but judging from campaign videos etc. he has
troubles with longer answers to questions, looses track and temper and prattles, and he react
badly to some trigger words. That said, like Trump, he cannot be an attentive boss, so
whoever made that leak, clearance from the top was not necessary...

"
Huawei's Harmony OS Extends to All Devices in 2021 in Bid for Tech Self-Sufficiency Amid US
Trade War."
This is interesting. Tech commentators have pointed out, correctly but without too much
insight, that Huawei will have a hard time selling phones with Harmony outside of China because
Trump cut the company off from using the Android operating system's app store. Google." Huawei
is now preloading Harmony on all of its product, making it independent of Google.
Now we have.
Huawei May Allow Chinese Smartphone Firms to Use Harmony OS to Counter Trump Trade
Bans,
This means that all of China's phone companies are independent of Android, at least in
China, as, if threatened by the US, they just switch to Harmony. It also means that China,
should it choose, could ban Android in Chinas as Trump banned Huawei in the US, and perhaps ban
iOS also, thus losing the entire Chinese market for Google and Apple. Forcing a large,
resourceful country to build competing products might charitably be called preternaturally
stupid.
Which brings us to the new Cold War, which is exactly what Trump II is engaged in. The
Beltway China hawks want to cripple China's tech industry by denying it advanced semiconductor
technology, chiefly from America's vassal states of Holland, Taiwan, and South Korea. Will this
work? I dunno. But there is a clear pattern in China's response. A sort of techy example, that
sensible readers can skip.
There is a company in Wuhan,
YMTC, Yangtze Memory Technology Company, that has developed an advanced 192-layer
dual-wafer NAND ("flash") chip using Chinese technology. Flash memory is used in huge
quantities in everything from smartphones to French fries (well, maybe not French fries.) There
is some doubt as to whether the company will be able to produce in volume, but it is building a
second fab line, so it must think it can.
If it does, American companies, notably Micron, will lose the (very large) Chinese market
for flash. Then the Chinese, nothing if not commercial, will probably flood the world market
with discount flash.
This tech-wide lunge for self-sufficiency, if Washington does not succeed in crushing it,
will close the Chinese market progressively for American firms. Well, who needs 1.4 billion
customers? The China hawks may be poking the wrong bear.
The most important thing Fred wrote in an overall great piece:
Education. China finds its brightest students with a grueling entrance exam. America
dumbs down elite high schools because they don't have enough unqualified minorities.
Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia has already been enstupidated, and the NYC
schools are on the block. The purpose of schools is to admit students who can't do the
work.
Huawei's AppGallery has attracted over 530 million active monthly users, and 384 billion
installs in 2020–an 83% increase YoY. There are 2.3 million registered developers
working on mobile applications for AppGallery, up 77% over 2019.
Tibet, yes, that Tibet, has broader, faster 5G coverage than the San Francisco
Bay Area.
Sure. Biden has been in office 5 weeks, and that's why China is ahead of us on all of
these technologies. Maybe Marjorie Green can get us all caught up.
Congratulation to the Chinese for the economic advances of recent decades. Not all their
advances are brilliant.
Take Maglev trains. That is an extraordinary expensive technology for moving a few score
people per car. Trains make sense for moving heavy loads long distances. Loads of coal,
petroleum, cattle, lumber and manufactured goods are natural cargoes. It is a waste of
resources to move human passengers in the massive trains. To engineer trains to travel at
300 or 500 mph is a fool's errand. Might as well attach lasers to ox carts. Trains are 19th
century technology and still useful for limited purposes. If you want to ship people at
hundreds of mph use aircraft. The only profitable passenger trains were a few of the
trolleys early in the 20th century.
Fusion reactors: it is said to be the next big thing. Funny, it has had that status
since the 1950s. I hope some practical application is developed by someone.
Hydrogen fuel: it is a wonderful clean burning fuel. Minor problem: where does the
hydrogen come from? Answer: natural gas is the cheapest source but why not save a lot of
expenses and just burn natural gas? Methane fuel cells are possible although perhaps not
practical. There is a endless supply in water but the separation by electrolysis requires
more energy input than the energy yielded when hydrogen is burned.
Solar panels: a great source of electricity when reliable electric power isn't desired.
If Chinese rely on solar for 32% of their electricity they will face an imminent energy
crisis. A coal burning plant has to be running hot 24 hours per day in case there are
clouds. And there is no solar at night.
The clever Chinese do a lot of the dumb things Americans do. They imitate stupid things
as well as practical technologies. I do not doubt the Chinese will make unique

All the democrats have to do is inact standard mail in voting as a federal law. They will
never have to worry about losing another election. Who is going to stop them? It has done
wonders for California. They have it down to an art form. Every state will have a Diane
Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi. Mindless ramblings about the glories of democracy. Fairness and
equality for all types! But especially powerful politicians smart enough to marry
investment bankers.
Just as a pointless aside, I dragged out my old DVD of a mid-1980s British comedy called
"Whoops Apocalypse", about the events leading up to nuclear Armageddon. Hilarious, despite
the grim plot.
The US President is a man way out of his depth (obviously Ronald Raygun), while the
British PM is clinically insane.
So far, so normal...
But it was the depiction of the Soviet leadership that is most striking: apparatchiks so
interchangeable that when the Soviet Premier has a heart attack while meeting the US
Ambassador they simply drag the body out and wheel in a replacement as if it were the most
natural thing in the world.
But look at the world now: the recent Presidential election was between two men of
pensionable age, with the "winner" showing definite the signs of dementia. While over in the
Kremlin there is a man who - whatever faults he may have - is definitely not an apparatchik
and certainly is not sclerotic.
Difficult to come by, but if you ever get the chance then do yourself a favor and watch

Biden front of camera (and barely managing that) with Chief of Staff Klain running the
show.
Reminds me of Obama front of camera (managing that extremely well) with Rahm Emmanuel
running the show, ensuring the interests of those who put Obama where he was.
Rahm left the position after two years to run for Mayor of Chicago, following Richard M
Daley, who's brother, William, took over the role of White House Chief of Staff (after Rouse
was interim for several months), also to ensure the interests of those who put Obama where he
was.
Why do people lose sight of Obama's political origins?
"This will likely cost them their House majority in 2022"
So what? Yes every congresscritter greatly cares about his own seat, but for the Dem
Party it only leads to embarrassment. "It was politically unfeasible", "Those evil
Repubs made us do it"--that's when Dems are in their element; Obama also ditched the
overall majorities he rode in on as soon as he could. The Dems need to look relevant, and to
have a little something to block Republican plans they don't care for, and all is good. And
'24... who knows; one way or another, Biden just beat Trump; why could't he, or his stuffed
corpse, do it again?
Anyway, the real arbiters here are the donors. And they like their pendulum swings, lest
their puppets get too uppity, and because one-party rule would be too ... overt. This is what
gloomy Repubs fail to understand these days.
"Neither the European U.S. allies, nor the Asian ones, have any interest in following the
U.S. into a confrontation with China."

their servility. Fundamentally, this is who they are.
This post is an excellent diagnosis of the Anglo-American malady.
Quoting PlutoniumKun: "So in the UK they have a government run by a buffoon surrounded by
lightweights, that has made an appalling mess of Covid, screwed up Brexit, has destroyed the
UK's standing internationally, and has driven the country into an unnecessary steep
recession. But is still incredibly popular."
In the U S of A, the Monoparty, Aqua Wing plus Mauve Wing, have driven the country into
declining life expectancy, a constant petty low-level civil war, greater and greater income /
wealth inequality, and visible decline–streets falling in, broken sidewalks, tatty post
offices no longer maintained, and so on.
Yet there is no indication that the Monoparty can be broken up. Meanwhile, minimum wage is
maintained at an obscene level, the government quibbles over unemployment benefits (let alone
the manipulated unemployment rate), and the stimulus is a guaranteed shambles. Large numbers
of Americans have a sense that the whole shebang is "rigged," yet being American, they want
to fall into racial panic rather than breaking down the system of oppression.
And Joe Manchin, oh-so-conveniently, is president of this mess.
It doesn't take much to understand that the Iranian government has some eighty years of
reasons for not wanting to deal with the U.S. government. Justifiable reasons. Yet the U.S.
is still deluded enough to think that it is the center of Empire. Talk about
lightweights–the U.S. foreign policy establishment and the "intelligence communit" have
produced one disaster after another, with impunity.
As a resident of Joe Manchin's country, it is pleasing to see that the discussion of the
idiocy of what is happening politically in the US and that the discussion of MMT are finally
being presented in a rational way.
The opening of this entire blog hit it on the head – money is not an issue for a
sovereign monetary country. The EU could adopt the MMT point-of -view, whereas the individal
countries making up the EU cannot. There is only one party in the US, the party of those who
have enough money to buy the politicians.
With the above admitted, NC can now retire; there is nothing more to discuss except how do
we get rid of these problems with the governments in power?
...Hillary failed. She was organised by self confident, privileged, idiotic fools,

The likelihood of the entire Clinton home server contents being in the possession of more
than two contending nations is quite high IMO. Add the Debbie Wasseman Shultz hacking debacle
and you get a 'trust and confidence' deficit. Trump had none of that baggage.
Better for the oligarchs to go with the guy who confessed to grabbing women by the short

Biden is the most fitting US President in modern history. He is a fantastic representation
of the political system that has metastasized around the institutions of government. He's
almost redundant, that's not intended as an insult.
An empty husk has its political uses and as simple continuation device for the forever
war's he should do fine.
It looks almost certain that it's a question of when not if the cognitive wheels will
grind to a halt. Despite his grim determination to remember his lines you're left wondering
if the effort is even worth it. If the systems barely functioning meat suit simply drooled
over the lecturn at his next engagement what would be the substantive difference for the US,
it's people and policies.
Trump was nothing more than entertaining distraction but cucked almost every decision he
had to make and was dealt with easily by the systemic, vested interests groups mitigating the
slightest correction, the smallest bit of change. Biden is a real life deepfake, an illusion,
just like the bona fides of the American political system claiming to represent the
people.
The vested interests will continue to gorge themselves on wealth and power while Biden
gazes vaccously into the nearest camera.
How many repeat performances with known end would be required and how many acts to conceal

Speaker Pelosi eagerly
cancelled voting Thursday because of the bogus threat. This freed up Representative Al
Green, a Democrat from the Houston area, to undertake a stunt of surpassing stupidity that was
taken with deadpan seriousness by much of the media. The DC insider publication,
The Hill , bought into the stunt:
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas)
is sending a message to QAnon and right-wing extremist threats by sitting on the Capitol
steps on Thursday, the date authorities warned militia groups were potentially planning
another breach of the building.
"I want to make a statement to let people know, those who would threaten those of us who
cherish this freedom that we have here that we refuse to allow those threats to negate our
freedom," he told The Hill.
Green himself touted his bravery:
... The only problem is that Rep. Green was sitting behind a large protective cordon,
including National Guard troops and fencing, facing no danger, even if the phony insurrection
reports had been true.

CLAIM: The White House cut President Joe Biden's feed at a virtual event with top House
Democrats because they did not have confidence in him answering questions.
AP'S ASSESSMENT: False. Biden did take questions after his introductory remarks at the
House Democratic Caucus Virtual Issues Conference on Wednesday but the event was closed to
the press after the initial comments, so the video feed was cut.
THE FACTS: Posts online are suggesting that the video proves that the White House is
limiting the president's talking time.
"'Man Has No Idea What He's Doing': Biden Says He's 'Happy to Take Question' But WH Cuts
Feed."
"' I'd be happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do , Nance,' Biden
said. ' Whatever you want me to do .'" [My Emphasis]
I've refrained from calling Biden a walking corpse or otherwise making fun of his dementia
because I cared for my mom during her losing battle with Alzheimer's, and it's extremely
tragic and not at all funny. But given this evidence and the fact that his minders cut him
off, it ought to be very clear that Biden is in no way in control of his administration or
even of himself. So, there's absolutely no way that he ordered the missile strike on the
Iraqi troops, or is making any other policy decisions. The voting public can rightfully say
it was defrauded.

The veteran value investor John Rogers predicted the US is headed for a repeat of the
"roaring twenties" a century ago that will finally encourage investors to dump tech stocks in
favour of companies more sensitive to the economy. The founder of Ariel Investments told the
Financial Times in an interview that value investing "dinosaurs" like him stood to win as
higher economic growth and rising interest rates took the air out of some of the hottest stocks
of recent years. The US central bank is "overly optimistic that they can keep inflation under
control", he said, and higher bond market interest rates would reduce the value of future
earnings for highly popular growth stocks such as tech companies and for the kinds of
speculative companies coming to market in initial public offerings or via deals with Spacs.
Call it payback for the December restaurant shutdowns.
It took a few minutes after the BLS reported the impressive February jobs report, which
showed a whopping 379K total jobs added in February (and 465K private payrolls, or more than
double the 195K expected), for traders to read between the lines and realize that there was
much less than meets the eye in the latest jobs report.
To wit: of the 379K jobs, a whopping 355K, or 93%, were in leisure and hospitality, and
within this category the one and only sector that truly boomed the most under the Obama admin
was on top: employees food service and drinking places, i.e. waiter and bartenders, accounted
for a massive 286K jobs, or 75% of the total job gains in February. Call it payback for the
December collapse in restaurant workers when nearly 400K jobs were lost amid the latest round
of restaurant shutdowns.
Honest Joe is old, weak, frail, incompetent, corrupt, traitorous to his own people, and
some say maybe even a little bit sexually perverted.
You meant to say Donald Trump. Maybe Biden isn't much better, but it can't be good for the
US when the same description is perfectly valid for both rivals for power.
At 78, after a prolonged illness and without recovering consciousness, Joe Biden succumbed
to the Presidency. The last hopes of the last QAnon believers vanished like smoke in the night,
with Biden assuming the mighty US throne. This is truly a dark day for America and for the
world, as the US example will be followed by many. It is also a farewell to the real world we
were brought up in. The new world is virtual, like most of the inauguration. It is virtual and
dark, ruled by digital companies fronted by old and tired politicians.
The creepy voice of Biden, the voice of a dirty old man offering sweets to a nine-year-old,
delivered some platitudes.
... ... ...
The Biden regime is just a front for the power of Big Data, of the five giants that removed
Trump and installed Biden in the White House. We shall see soon whether the power-thirsty
politicians will be satisfied with fronting for real power...
Whenever Trump complained that it is open to fraud, Bezos' Washington Post screeched,
'President Trump has peddled false claims or imaginary threats about voting by mail'. Three
days after Trump's removal, Amazon (owned by the very same Bezos) rejected mail-in voting for its
unionising employees as the mail-in vote is notoriously unreliable. "We believe that the best
approach to a valid, fair and successful election is one that is conducted manually, in-person,
making it easy to verify",
said Amazon. The mail-in vote for the Presidency was a must because of the pandemic, but
there is no outbreak when Amazon employees try to join a trade union.
Likewise, the looting of BLM was 'largely peaceful', but selfie snapping in the Capitol was
a work of 'internal terrorists'. The victors are so dishonest, that I feel pity for Trump
– and for all of us.
Freezing Texas should commission a monument: Greta Thunberg and Bill Gates save the Texans
from global warming by turning them into icicles. So much for global warming, the reddest
herring ever caught in the Gulf of Mexico!
Even the direction of the climate drift is not certain. The Warmers (like Greta) say our
planet is warming up because of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by mankind. Many experts say the
planet is actually enters the new Ice Age due to diminished solar activity ( here ),
connecting it to Maunder Minimum or Gleissberg Minimum.
In Israel, a popular
expert Chaim Noll says the real problem is desertification, while CO2 is good for plants
and prevents semi-arid areas turning into desert. Still others say the changes are perfectly
normal; we have been through such changes before.
LINK BOOKMARK We really do
not know for sure what's going on and whether we can or should do anything about it. And now,
at the time of the great freeze, Bill Gates has temerity to publish his Warmer's Manifesto,
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Bill Gates.
The book was heavily promoted, and got fawning reviews, though it is as silly as any of
these books. Gates wants us to stop travelling (unless you can afford a private jet, of
the kind Gates has invested in), stop
eating meat (worms should be good enough for the hoi polloi, or synthetic meat produced by
the same Gates, for cows fart, and farting is warming the planet). Knowing his and his ilk's
ability to mobilise the media, I wouldn't be amazed if he succeeds in convincing the West. And
any disaster in meat-producing Texas would be grist to Gates' mill.
Besides being silly, this guy knows too much! In 2015, Gates gave a "prescient warning about
the threat of a pandemic", says a
reviewer . To what extent was it "prescient" if in the same 2015, Gates patented a coronavirus quite similar to
the one that attacked mankind in 2020? Perhaps he is prescient "for the same reason that
arsonists have the earliest knowledge of future fires", as Ron
Unz remarked .
Bill Gates never went to college, so I doubt he knows the carbon cycle. He thinks he can
talk nonsense because he is rich, and the nonsense will then make sense.
There is no global warming, but global cooling, as there was snow even in Israel:
"... Congress needs to establish an investigative body like the 9/11 Commission to determine Trump's ties to Putin so we can repair the damage to our national security and prevent a puppet from occupying the presidency ever again. ..."

The Texans have got the real New Green Deal, very expensive and uncertain. The deal is
"Freeze and pay through your nose!" The green alternative pure cheap and plentiful energy is

What eludes me about Russian cyber actors is their utter stupidity and their utter genius.
We are told that the Solar Winds attack was an absolutely super duper act of pure hacking
genius. But on the other hand Russian hackers cannot hide a twitter bot's point of origin.
According to The Intercept, Mueller was able to indict Russian hackers because one of them
forgot to sign into their VPN account. Go figure.
I suspect that any tweet which "takes the Kremlin line" is assumed to be tied to Russians
regardless of its point of origin. Otherwise, Twitter would have to have the resources of the
CIA to identify a multitude of cyber actors to back track them.
The interesting aspect of the Twitter ban on Trump is that it tends to reinforce the
theory that POTUS is just a Token Figurehead with Zero Power. It was an extraordinarily
myopic act for The Swamp to approve.
Narrative control has always been part of the grift. But one can always cultivate a
critical mind, read widely, understand history and try to think carefully about how ideology
works. I'm a fan of Zizek's film 'Pervert's Guide to Ideology' because it points out that
'propaganda' is never disseminated from a central point by diabolical puppet-masters.
Ideology is dispersed and decentralised, and radiates from all points. It is embodied, and in
a way this makes it even more sinister, because it cannot be countered by rationality and
argument. But we can try to understand it in its complexity, and there are plenty of
excellent thinkers who have done so to fall back on: Marx, Nietzsche, Althusser, Foucault,
Baudrillard, Zizek, not to mention all of the Frankfurt School and their successors.
But it also is astonishingly naive to expect narrative to align with a truth imagined to
lie outside narrative. Truth is an effect of narrative combined with authority. The early
Greeks grasped this in their genealogy of the Muse: she is the daughter of Zeus (sovereign
power) and Mnemosyne (memory). We just happen to live in a world where all narrative forms
are indeterminate: nothing is true, everything could be true... This is an effect of
narrative form not an intrinsic problem of content.
I am reminded of a quote from the always essential guide to bureaucracy:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
"But the plans were on display "
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well, the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet
stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard."
His Lights Stayed on During Texas' Storm. Now He Owes $16,752.

There are wise people in Texas and not so wise. A not so wise person uses electric heating
and lighting during an ice storm, and his local utility frantically bids for available power
(I guess it is done by a computer program). Win! As a reward, for an hour both home and
office is warm and lit for an hour, using few kilowatts that cost 1000 each. Later the
country plunges in darkness, like the neighboring country that lost the bidding and thus was
cold and dark for an extra hour.
A wise person shuts everything and flies to Cancun. Plenty of warmth and light down there,
and much much cheaper! But as I was commenting before, the public frowns upon clever
politicians -- Senator Cruz in in a bit of hot water. To recover, he will need to blab for at
least a year and hide his intelligence completely.
When deregulated electricity came to my municipality it was in guise of green renewable
energy. The local Greens put two years of heavy work into that referendum. Anyone with common
sense or a particle of skepticism knew that in this case green was a stalking horse for
deregulation. Deregulation would not have passed muster here. But the Greens got it through.
They are majority Ph.D. So they have no common sense at all.
Day after referendum the sales force descended. Within a week the Greens no longer
existed. If you slammed door in salesman's face they called you on the phone. For five years
I got at least two phone calls a day and at times it was hourly.
Twice I was slammed. Slammed means suddenly you have a new electric provider. A bill
arrives in the mail from someone you have never heard of and it is hard to know if it is even
real, but it probably is. To get unslammed the remedy is infinite phone calls and hours on
hold day after day. Or you can hire an attorney. Or you can make a trip and appear in person
at your congressman's service office. I would rather never be within a kilometer of the slime
that represents me in Congress but there are times you have to compromise your
principles.
Have to mention that any and all who failed to display sufficient enthusiasm for green
renewable energy were dragged through the mud. We were called reactionaries, dinosaurs,
Libertarians, Republicans. It goes without saying we were baby killers. This was heated and
public and impossible to evade.
The tendency of liberalism to deny the consequences of society stems from its myth of the
'individual'. Liberalism imagines a world of rational subjects each making decisions in a
sovereign way (Thatcher's 'there is no such thing as society'). This allows capitalism to
erect a moral framework that represents the consequences of an economy as the consequences of
personal decisions. In this way, success (wealth) is 'reward' and failure (poverty) is
punishment. It's what Max Weber called 'secular Protestantism'. The working classes
participate in this evaluative ideology (Gramsci); it is the source of their self-loathing
and the reason they always vote against their own best interests. They all believe their lack
of means is a consequence of their lack of intelligence, work ethic, failure of
entrepreneurial spirit, etc etc. Here is Marx's own critique of the way liberalism washes its
hands of the effects of capitalism:
"The... theory... which is also expressed as a law of nature, that population grows faster
than the means of subsistence, is the more welcome to the bourgeois as it silences his
conscience, makes hard-heartedness into a moral duty and the consequences of society into
the consequences of nature, and finally gives him the opportunity to watch the destruction
of the proletariat by starvation as calmly as any other natural event without bestirring
himself, and, on the other hand, to regard the misery of the proletariat as its own fault
and to punish it. To be sure, the proletarian can restrain his natural instinct by reason,
and so, by moral supervision, halt the law of nature in its injurious course of
development." - Karl Marx, Wages, December 1847
While it may be superficially true that our poor Texan could have cunningly evaded copping
the wholesale price the fact remains that he is -- as all Texans are -- a victim of a system
structurally designed to extract exorbitant rents from his need for power. A socialist system
would not see him as a battery hen to be skimmed or as an atomized individual who should
'sink or swim' (in the words of that local mayor) but would seek to prevent power, food,
water, air, housing, education, health, etc etc from being hijacked and sequestered by vested
interests accessible only by outrageous fees. Socialism would outlaw rent-seeking, which is
the theft of meaningful life by carpetbaggers and their corrupt partners in government.
Creepy almost Dead President Biden commemorates the 500K+ Dead Covid People [who probably

Painful indeed! I can see why the Mockingbird mass media is trying to steer people to
read the speech rather than watch it. I suppose they are proud of the script but
underwhelmed by the delivery. They don't want to waste a whole week's worth of work by the
speechwriting committee simply because the undead talking head didn't get enough amphetamines
to appear life-like.

I think you are probably correct there. I looked around for other videos of that speech
with better audio/volume quality for listening on smartphones, w/o success...the Controllers
must be jiggling the crappy sound on purpose so that the fewest people will actually listen
all the way through to what the [almost] Dead President is muttering.
I think you are right about being pumped up with stimulants or something too.
Biden's eyes used to be blue-green, but nowadays they are always so dilated when he's in
public, that they look black/dark brown. He[his Caregivers] hide them behind sunglasses when
he/They can during sunny days and outside appearances.
Paco, was your series you first mentioned an adaptation of the novel I am reading? I was
puzzled by your mention that 'Bulgakov was a physician' -- the author of 'The Master and
Margarita was not, so not to confuse James any further than I have - and James, just to
clarify, the quotation I gave is not from the novel. Here's a bit, and I'll include
psychohistorian in this conversation as well:
"But here is a question that is troubling me: if there is no God, then, one may ask,who
governs human life and, in general, the whole order of things on earth?"
"Man governs it himself," Homeless angrily hastened to reply to this admittedly
none-too-clear question.
"Pardon me," the stranger responded gently, "but in order to govern, one needs, after
all, to have a precise plan for a certain, at least somewhat decent, length of time. Allow
me to ask you, then, how can man govern, if he is not only deprived of the opportunity of
making a plan for at least some ridiculously short period--well, say, a thousand years, but
cannot even vouch for his own tomorrow?
And in fact," and here the stranger turned to Berlioz, "imagine that you, for instance,
start governing, giving orders to others and yourself, generally, so to speak, acquire a
taste for it, and suddenly you get ... hem ... hem ... lung cancer ..." - here the
foreigner smiled sweetly, as if the though of lung cancer gave him pleasure - "yes, cancer"
- narrowing his eyes like a cat, he repeated the sonorous word - "and all your governing is
over!..."

@Ron
Unz t of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times as proof of anything is a sign of
Baby Boomer Dementia Syndrome (BBDS).
@Ron Unz: Do you still subscribe to these newspapers and read them in their paper form? If
so, then likely you are a BBDS victim as well. One of its symptoms is wasting hours every
morning and evening reading unadulterated CIA propaganda and thinking that you have read "the

"news".
Or the pandemic guru (a female one) who declared that, after a sufficiently widespread

Trump has been the exposer-in-chief. He exposed the filth behind the curtain:
Russiagate, Covid, the stolen election. Maybe that's all he could do this time around.
And for this I shall be forever grateful. While I didn't get my 2,000 miles of wall, I DID
get something from Trump, me and 100 million more American-Americans like me: irrefutable
proof that mainstream media and the Swamp hate my guts. This is his legacy that shall last a
very long time, indeed.
Really, why would anyone be surprised that a candidate who did nothing to win the
Presidency should similarly do nothing once elected?

All caused by global warming? I think not. Climatologists not paid by central governments
(who are using global warming as a cry for changing our way of life) say we are entering an
extended period of solar minimum. Maybe for the next 30 years. A major solar minimum last
occurred in the 1600's (the Maunder Minimum) that lasted from 1645 to 1715. During that
period, rivers and harbors froze over, crops failed and people died of starvation and
exposure. Something to look forward to!
This paragraph alone is worth the price of admission:
Well, the incident on January 6th wasn't exactly a replay of the storming of the
Bastille, but as it is all we have it will have to make do. Were those folks wandering
around inside the Capitol Building tourists who had gotten separated from their tour guide
or were they confused citizens from the Dakotas who had a couple of stamps remaining on
their hunting licenses allowing them to bag a Democrat or two? They would have been better
advised to set up a couple of feeder bait sites under the Rotunda loaded with Benjamins and
the Congress-critters would have arrived in droves. And that guy who stole Nancy Pelosi's
podium only had to announce that he was holding a Black Lives Matter meeting and good old
Nancy would have arrived tout suite on her knees with an African kente cloth stole
draped around her neck.
A sad, funny, and true observation by Phil Giraldi:
"They would have been better advised to set up a couple of feeder bait sites under the
Rotunda loaded with Benjamins and the Congress-critters would have arrived in droves."

You guys keep reducing it down to democrats versus republicans. Both parties are in bed

voters which may be disenchanted with contemporary American politicians. He brings the

totally controlled by the fascist DNC. There is no point in hunkering down and waiting for
the next election, with every passing day the new regime is entrenching itself, purging

"EVERY media outlet that pushed this INSANE election fraud conspiracy for clicks should be
taken off the air. They've incited a Civil War," Chariton tweeted on January 6, the date of the

However, after YouTube pulled video from his own channel featuring footage of the January 6
riot for violating the platform's policies against "spam and deceptive practices," the Chariton
reversed his position.

Chariton noted that with the precedent having been set for blanket censorship, progressive
content was also now being unfairly targeted, while pointing out that big left-wing networks
with friendly YouTube ties like the Young Turks were not calling it out.
In a subsequent interview, the journalist noted that the purge of right-wing content was
merely an excuse for YouTube to "get rid of" all content that questioned the consensus on
subjects such as healthcare or U.S. foreign policy.

"Alexandria Ocasio Smollett" and "AOC Lied" trended on Twitter amidst backlash over
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tale of her experiences during the
Capitol Riot.
The New York Democrat has repeatedly said she feared for her life, describing how she hid
in her office bathroom after hearing loud banging and shouting on Jan. 6 before a Capitol
Police officer burst into her office.
Critics pointed out that her office is not in the United States Capitol building, which
rioters stormed that day, but in the Cannon office building down the street.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being compared to the actor who staged an attack on himself,
after her account of fearing for her life during the January 6 riot was fact-checked, exposing
that she wasn't in the Capitol building.
The hashtags #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett, along with #AOCLied, trended on Wednesday, following
a fact-check of AOC's (D-New York) Instagram livestream two days prior by OAN journalist Jack
Posobiec. During her emotional one-and-a-half-hour-long talk, Ocasio-Cortez admitted that she
was not in the Capitol building during the riot to begin with, but continued to claim that she
experienced a life-threatening situation.
When Ocasio-Cortez denounced it as a "manipulative take on the right," Posobiec
posted a map, with arrows pointing to the Capitol as well as two other office buildings across
the road. One of them is where AOC's own office is located, and where she claimed she
"thought I was going to die" during the January 6 events. Another is where she ended up
sheltering inside the office of Rep. Katie Porter (D-California) after leaving her office on
the instructions of the Capitol Police.
... ... ...
Whatever the truth about AOC's alleged sexual assault and near-death experience at the
Capitol, some critics of the progressive social media star noted that she had successfully
diverted attention from problems with the government and the small investor rebellion against
hedge funds.
ALBANY, NY -- In response to criticism over his handling of the pandemic, New York governor
Andrew Cuomo reportedly unveiled a plan Monday to reduce the spread of Covid-19 at nursing
homes by throwing all residents out onto the street. "The elderly are one of the groups most
vulnerable to Covid, and we will dramatically reduce nursing home deaths by closing all of
these facilities immediately and evicting all the residents," said Cuomo, who defended himself
against accusations that he had mishandled the spread of coronavirus within adult care
facilities by claiming that it never would have happened if they had closed all facilities
before the pandemic even started.

Jan 28 PERMANENT SECURITY FENCING
coming to US Capitol. New statement from acting US Capitol Police chief: "Vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure
must be made to include permanent fencing"
On the bright side, perhaps the fencing could keep the Congress critters in ?
Statement of Acting Chief Pittman Regarding U.S. Capitol Complex Physical Security
"In the days following January 6, 2021, with the assistance of our Federal and local law enforcement partners, and our Congressional
stakeholders, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) has hardened the physical security across the Capitol Complex in order to
further protect the Congress.
"Upon becoming the Acting Chief on January 8, 2021, I immediately directed my staff to conduct a physical security assessment
of the entire Capitol Complex. This assessment is in addition to the USCP's Inspector General's review of the events of January
6, 2021, and the third-party review of the Complex's physical infrastructure, processes, and command and control being conducted
at the behest of Speaker Pelosi by retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore.
"I welcome each of these reviews, and I am ensuring that the Department will provide all of the information that is necessary
to facilitate these studies. In the end, we all have the same goal - to prevent what occurred on January 6 from ever happening
again.
"As I noted earlier this week, even before September 11, 2001, security experts argued that more needed to be done to protect
the U.S. Capitol. In fact, a 2006 security assessment specifically recommended the installation of a permanent perimeter fence
around the Capitol.
"In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be
made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol.
"I look forward to working with Congress on identifying the security improvements necessary to ensure the safety and security
of the Congress and the U.S. Capitol." ###
That fence could post a danger to members of congress and their staff as much as protection. suppose there was a massive explosion
in the capitol and they had to run away, not just out of the building, but away. The fence could serve as a trap.
It would be worse if by then that metal fence has been electrified because of demands of legislators for their "security".
Think of one very, very long bug zapper.
"Biden administration eyes Rahm Emanuel for ambassadorship" [
NBC ]. "President Joe Biden is considering former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for a
high-profile ambassadorship, potentially to China, three people with knowledge of the
discussions said." Rahm Emmanuel, China hand.
More: "Becoming the U.S. ambassador to Japan is another option that Biden administration
officials have discussed with Emanuel, one of the people with knowledge of the discussions
said."
Unpresident Biden is America's Brezhnev -- his health and stamina failing, he is merely an
old Establishment tool who has been resurrected in an attempt to prop up an order that everyone
knows is on its last legs. A telling video from the inauguration shows Biden passing a
contingent of Marines on guard duty, who any sitting president is supposed to salute, being the
Commander-in-Chief. Biden just shambles past them without a gesture, oddly mumbling "salute the
Marines" under his facemask. The quite plausible theory that has been making the rounds is that
Biden was being instructed on what to say and do through an earpiece, and that he mistakenly
repeated an instruction to salute the Marines rather than actually doing it.
A shocking example was provided Wednesday when Douglass Mackey of Delray Beach, Fla., was
arrested for creating memes that allegedly misled voters in 2016 to think they could vote by
texting instead of by actually going to the polls.
This is the equivalent of arresting Sacha
Baron Cohen for exposing the gullibility of the rich and famous.
The FBI offered no evidence
that Mackey actually convinced anyone not to vote, but even if it did, so what? Would you
rather live in a country where the FBI is hunting down pranksters -- four years after the
supposed transgression -- or a country where voters are expected to be able to recognize a joke
when they see one?
Just
like many Trump supporters, US liberal intellectuals exist in a fantasy world in which a
leading purveyor of "international terrorism" – the US government – is perceived as
a fundamentally benign force, Noam Chomsky told RT.
"Just as you can't get the Republican mobs to admit that the election was lost, you can't
get liberal American intellectuals to recognize that the United States is a leading terrorist
state," Chomsky told RT's Chris Hedges.
The facts are that for almost the entirety of its history as a sovereign state, the US has
waged a war of aggression against somebody, Chomsky said. The so-called 'War on Terror', which
Ronald Reagan made the focus of his foreign policy, was Washington dealing with "resistance
to US terrorism in Central America and also in South Africa."
"... For a long time, I thought that record numbers of Black and Hispanic voters supporting Trump in 2020 meant that Trump was not racist, but I now realize that these poor folks just suffered from "multiracial whiteness". ..."
"...

"... Social Media should do its civic duty and extend its censorship of "dangerous thoughts" to citizens and political officials outside of the USA in order to protect the world from itself. ..."
"... all I can say is "thank god" Joe Biden has found himself in the position of leader of the free world at this historic moment of change. ..."
"... Joe Biden is a man who understands what liberal values and the "rules-based order" are really about. ..."
"... He was wise enough to get onto the unipolar bandwagon before it was popular by drafting the 1994 surveillance bill that John Ashcroft later used verbatim for the Patriot Act after 9/11 ..."
"... He was smart enough to know that Wall Street couldn't lead America into the 21 st century as long as Glass-Steagall was in place and voted for its repeal in 1999. ..."
"... He also gave the Credit Card companies the political support they needed to stop citizens from abusing their generosity which went a long way to help Americans build character and take responsibility for their short sighted consumer decisions. ..."
"... Unlike those cultish Trumping fascists, Biden was courageous enough to proclaim even before the horrible insurrectionary riots of January 6 th , that a new Patriot Act/Domestic Terror Bill would be needed to purge the republic of dangerous terrorism and the insidious thought crimes which spread doubt in honest elections, and distrust in the benevolent political structures leading the western world. ..."
"... Sure, some people think that the 46 deaths and 32 riots caused by Antifa and BLM over the past six months might qualify as domestic terrorism, but that's only because they are infected with racist wrong think and don't realize that these groups were just fighting against fascism and racism. ..."
As many people are aware, CNN recently aired a wonderful interview by former Moonie-turned-cult-deprogrammer Steve Hassan giving
advice to Americans wishing to deprogram their MAGA-hat wearing loved ones, now that the age of Trump is coming to an end.
I was fortunate enough to have read Hassan's book and had the loving scrub-brush of truth wash my brain of all of its formerly
pro-Trump sympathies and can honestly say that I am most certainly better off for having left those old delusions in the past.
For one thing, I used to enjoy my right to free speech but thanks to the terrible events of January 6, 2021 that left 3 people
dead, horned Q supporters doing photo ops for media
, pro-Trump rioters let into
the capitol building by guards , and busloads of conspicuous
violent figures whom some say were "provocateurs" (whatever that means), I have come to realize that I was all wrong. Free speech
is actually very dangerous. Words we took for granted like "patriot", "nationalism", or "vote fraud" are actually very racist and
using them is a sure fire sign that you might be a domestic terrorist. At any rate, using them should at least be enough to get someone
banned from social media and put under surveillance.
For a long time, I thought that record numbers of Black and Hispanic voters supporting Trump in 2020 meant that Trump was
not racist, but I now realize that these poor folks just suffered
from "multiracial whiteness".
I thought that
questioning voting machines that had been caught red handed manipulating elections across the world was patriotic and that somehow
some conglomeration of Big Tech, the media, intelligence agencies and a thing called "deep state" were colluding to create a color
revolution in the USA but I now realize that I was actually supporting conspiracy theories and thus violence and thus domestic terrorism.
I was so far gone that my pre-deprogrammed self was actually persuaded in the crazy idea that depopulation agendas hid behind
the cover of a "Great Reset agenda", concocted by a shadowy elite of sociopathic oligarchs. I have now learned that this was either
a silly conspiracy theory, the result of my own delusions or if it was true, then I can at least say with certainty that it is all
for my own good.
The truth that I have now come to discover, is that free speech has just gone too far. This practice has reached its limits, and
Twitter's legal executive
Vijaya Gadde is absolutely
right . Social Media should do its civic duty and extend its censorship of "dangerous thoughts" to citizens and political
officials outside of the USA in order to protect the world from itself. If other world leaders are worried about this new truth,
then they should seriously do some soul searching and learn to think differently.
The old me is long gone, and now all I can say is "thank god" Joe Biden has found himself in the position of leader of the
free world at this historic moment of change.
For awhile it was looking like Donald Trump would actually stop
forever wars, and untie the U.S. military's
involvement from the CIA . That white supremacist actually came precariously close to destroying the foundations of globalization
that many enlightened billionaires had put decades of energy into organizing -- first destroying Obama's Transpacific Partnership,
then the Paris Climate Accords and THEN he had the nerve to scrap NAFTA itself by giving nation states a say in economic affairs!
He even committed the sin of criticizing NATO itself -- the very foundation of western collective security from the obvious threats
of Russia and China!
He called for insane things like "bringing back manufacturing to the USA", "restoring protectionism", and "making space exploration
and arctic development a priority for the nation" and everyone knows that this is all so 1963.
But now the "disturbance" is over, and the age of Biden has arrived!
Joe Biden is a man who understands what liberal values and the "rules-based order" are really about.
He was wise enough to get onto the unipolar bandwagon before it was popular by
drafting the 1994 surveillance
bill that John Ashcroft later used verbatim for the Patriot Act after 9/11.
He was smart enough to know that Wall Street couldn't lead America into the 21 st century as long as Glass-Steagall
was in place and voted for its
repeal in 1999.
He was one of the
loudest supporters of NAFTA which helped reduce carbon emissions drastically by exporting dirty industrial jobs oversees where
they should be.
He also gave the Credit Card companies
the political support they needed to stop citizens from abusing their generosity which went a long way to help Americans build
character and take responsibility for their short sighted consumer decisions.
After 9/11, Biden also brilliantly supported the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq (who may not have had anything to do
with 9/11 but at least showed the terrorists who's boss).
Unlike those cultish Trumping fascists,
Biden was courageous enough to proclaim even before the horrible insurrectionary riots of January 6 th , that a new
Patriot Act/Domestic Terror Bill would be needed to purge the republic of dangerous terrorism and the insidious thought crimes which
spread doubt in honest elections, and distrust in the benevolent political structures leading the western world. Thinking people
know, that thought does sometimes cause action and if we want to truly remedy wrong actions like the riots of January 6 th
, or dangerous COVID-denialism, then we should most certainly take the battle to the realm of the mind.
The brilliant Steve Hassan even recognized this reality in his CNN interview when he said that "the bottom line is all of America
needs deprogramming because we've all been negatively influenced by Donald Trump."
Sure, some people think that the 46 deaths and 32 riots caused by Antifa and BLM over the past six months might qualify as
domestic terrorism, but that's only because they are infected with racist wrong think and don't realize that these groups were just
fighting against fascism and racism.
Certainly, the first 100 days after Biden's inauguration will be inspired.
Already, Biden has made commitments to sign the USA back onto the legally binding Paris Climate Accords to help us win the war
against climate, and has shown the good sense to reverse Trump's disastrous decision to break the anti-China TPP in 2016. Biden always
said he would renegotiate the TPP
in order "to
hold China accountable", and everyone knows Trump's selfish decision only helped China by freeing up its neighbors to work together
on the BRI. If only Trump hadn't killed TPP, then the 14 nation strong
Regional Cooperation Economic Partnership
which China just finalized would never have happened.
Most importantly, our benevolent overlords who meet at Davos every year are happy once more and have even kicked off Biden's inauguration
with a special celebration entitled "the Davos Agenda" running from January 25-29.
According to the WEF , this event
will "mark the launch of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset Initiative and begin the preparation of the Special Annual Meeting
in the spring. Each day will focus on one of the five domains of the Great Reset Initiative."
The USA's new Special Envoy on Climate, John Kerry, captured the excitement of this wonderful moment perfectly
when
he said : "The notion of a reset is more important than ever before we're at the dawn of an extremely exciting time." According
to the
Great Reset architects, this is definitely the right idea. WEF President Klaus Schwab has taught us that the "age of owning things"
is so passe , and we know that this obsolete relic of capitalism isn't compatible in our new age of global peace and brotherhood.
Ownership of "things" just makes us selfish and forget about the real purpose of life.. which is really about sacrifice. Establishing
new supranational organizations to manage the levers of consumption and production according to evidence-based standards and scientific
realities of carrying capacity is the only remedy to the evils of populism and being ignorant to this reality doesn't lessen the
fact that boards of experts who are smarter than you say that it is so.
According to the WEF's Great Reset website global CO2 output collapsed by over 7% during the 12 months of global COVID-19 shutdowns
which means the COVID-19 is more of a blessing than many dim witted selfish nationalists who like owning things realize.
So what if the world population will contract under the shutdown of the world economy under COVID lockdowns? And so what if we
lose our capacity to support industrial civilization through the imposition of global green energy grid?
Didn't the late
great Maurice
Strong (who was WEF Executive Director and father of the Great Reset), ask the question in 1991:
"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of
the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact
on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is 'no'. The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in
order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
So get ready for an exciting time in history, and hopefully China finally learns that the new world order is Unipolar – with a
big green hug for all well behaved leaders who get rid of such silly ideas as "nationalism", "industrial progress" or "ending poverty
through development" which dangerous concepts like the Belt and Road Initiative threaten to unleash. Most importantly, China has
to really deprogram itself from her belief that Russia is a worthwhile partner in the 21 st century. Xi made a good decision
to attend this month's Great Reset conference and both he and Modi would do well to abandon dirty fossil fuels, their support of
nuclear energy development or space mining in order to adapt their realities to the computer models which have been telling us how
to hitch our destinies to a world of entropy and diminishing returns.

Back in 2016, the American people, sick to the gills of global capitalism and its
increasingly oppressive woke ideology, elected an unauthorized, narcissistic ass-clown to
the highest office in the land.
Well, if the American people had really been sick of global capitalism they would have
voted for Sanders. He may not be perfect, but he made a lot more sense as an anti-capitalist
candidate than Trump. Trump has done nothing to curb global capitalism during his
administration. Being narcissistic and clownish is probably of minor importance and beside
the point, and bringing it up seems more like obfuscation. Trump was the status quo every bit
as much as Hillary. He was demonized for one simple reason: there are two parties in America.
And Trump didn't make it especially hard for them.
Well, if the American people had really been sick of global capitalism they would have
voted for Sanders. He may not be perfect, but he made a lot more sense as an
anti-capitalist candidate than Trump.
Ah, thanks, I needed a good laugh today. Let's see, Sanders's net worth is how
much again? And, let's see, after The Machine denied him the Dem nomination in both 2016 and
2020, it took him how long to endorse and sign on and generally drop trou, bend over,
and grab his aged ankles?
Yep, there's a real anticapitalist revolutionary firebrand, all right.
I agree with Bras Cubas that if the American people were really sick of global capitalism
they would have voted for Sanders. The fact is, they did, and the methods of fraud developed
to deprive Sanders of his victory were a sort of rehearsal of the methods used to sideline
Trump. There was quite a bit of fraud in 2016; ballot harvesting, and the manipulation of
postal votes, etc. but Trump unexpectedly did too well for it to work. They also did not have
the virus as an excuse to go full monty on the fraud.
I agree with Reactionary Utopian's view of Sanders, who revealed himself to be a
grovelling lackey of the establishment with the way he campaigned for the harpy, signed on to
the absurd anti-Russian propaganda initiative, and showed that he was only controlled
opposition. The fact is, the propaganda combined with the fraud, perfected as a result of the
medico-fascism discussed by Hopkins enabled the steal. The usage of the provocation discussed
in the main article completed the consolidation of what is a new model of a fascist regime.
This followed Goebbels' playbook usage of the Reichstag fire provocation as the Nazi regime
was consolidating power.
Kudos again to Hopkins on this article and all of the preceding ones. As an additional
fact, we should discuss the mask deal. It is the first time in history that any regime of any
description has actually restricted the right to breathe, which at the end of the day is
limiting the right to live. The present regime for that reason seems even more odious than
the Nazi regime in that aspect.
P.S. Bernie was a rabid socialist(communist), and many in America wanted no part of
that.
Sanders is neither socialist nor communist. He's a con man. The overwhelming majority of
dumbed down America thinks socialism is communism, and actually think that finance capitalism
is friendly to them.
There's to plenty righteous to be said about empire and all of that, but I want to write
something about how Black people have since our founding been considered the internal enemy,
so what it means to have a Black person as Secretary of Defense.
Surprise! Mail-in ballots raise the risk of fraud - according to Amazon.
In a Thursday filing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Seattle-based

Gorbatsjov tried to reform the USSR but it ended in failure and the drunken Yeltsin
crashed the remains. His only success was to name Putin as his successor.
Trump tried to reform the USA but it ended in failure, election coup and the demented and
hyper-corrupt Biden as his successor.
It remains to be seen if the outcome of Biden's rule
will be better or worse than Yeltsin's, but my money is on Yeltsin the way things are
looking.
Hillary:" I would love to see his phone records to see if he was talking to Putin the day
the insurgents invaded our Capitol"
That has to be the most idiotic thing Hillary Clinton has ever said, and she has said a
great many idiotic things.
First, does she not know that the NSA and CIA and FBI would immediately be on to any such
communication?
Is she really that naïve? No, of course not, she is simply a grotesque liar.
Second, I have studied and written about Putin fairly extensively. He is a calm, pragmatic, and highly intelligent man, one with Russia's best interests
always at heart.
The last thing he would want to see is instability in the United States with all the
immense dangers that would represent.
It is precisely American politicians like Hillary who are a threat to global stability
I've copied this comment from the site below – though it was a good one ..
" Joe Biden: a virtual candidate elected in a virtual election, sworn-in via a virtual
inauguration to preside over a virtual presidency. Virtually no one has physically attended
any public event with him in attendance since 2019. See also 'Wizard of Oz ."
Look how perfectly applicable is the phase "The complaint wants the Ethics Committee to investigate whether Cruz and Hawley failed to

The complaint wants the Ethics Committee to investigate whether Cruz and Hawley failed to
"[p]ut loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above loyalty to persons, party,
or Government department," or if they engaged in "improper conduct reflecting on the Senate"
linked to the January 6 Capitol 'riot.'
The Democratic senators also outlined several questions they believed should be probed as
part of an Ethics Committee investigation including if they were in touch with coordinators
for the rally , if they encouraged any "insurrectionist" acts or if they "engaged in criminal
conduct, or unethical or improper behavior."
"While it was within Senators' rights to object to the electors, the conduct of Senators
Cruz and Hawley, and potentially others, went beyond that," they wrote in the letter to
Ethics Committee leadership.
Cruz and Hawley, two potential 2024 presidential contenders, have denounced the mob that
breached the Capitol but they've also stood by their decisions to object to the Electoral
College results from Arizona and Pennsylvania, respectively. -
The Hill
During the counting of electoral votes, Cruz objected to Arizona's results, while Hawley
objected to Pennsylvania's results following the Capitol attack, when a group of Trump
supporters and at least one prominent member of BLM breached the Capitol building and occupied
it for a brief period of time before leaving on their own.
The Democratic Senators are also asking the Ethics Committee to "offer recommendations for
strong disciplinary action, including up to expulsion or censure, if warranted by the facts
uncovered."

William Gruff just ended a comment on the Weekly Open thread with words that accurately
describe one on the symptoms of dystopia that Americans are afflicted with
"Just look around at all of the mouth-breathing chin-maskers in America to see how much
Americans have pitched in to defeat the Fort Detrick Flu."

So, welcome to 2021! If last week was any indication, it is going to be quite an exciting year. It is going to be the year in
which GloboCap reminds everyone who is actually in charge and restores "normality" throughout the world.
or at least attempts to restore "normality," or the "New Normality," or the "Great Normal Reset," or "The New Normal War on Domestic
Terror" or whatever they eventually decide to call it.
In any event, whatever they call it, GloboCap is done playing grab-ass. They have had it with all this "populism" malarkey that
has been going on for the last four years.
Yes, that's right, the party is over, you Russian-backed white supremacist terrorists! You Trump-loving, anti-mask grandmother
killers! You anti-vax, election-fraud-conspiracy theorists! You deviants who refuse to follow orders, wear your damn masks, vote
for who they tell you, and believe whatever completely nonsensical official propaganda they pour into your heads!
Oh, yes, you really did it this time! You stormed the goddamned US Capitol. You and your racist, Russia-backed army of
bison-hat wearing half-naked actors have meddled with the primal forces of GloboCap, and now, by God, you will atone!
No, do not try to minimize your crimes. You entered a building without permission! The building where America simulates democracy!
You walked around in there waving silly flags! You went into the Chamber, into people's offices! One of you actually
put his filthy populist feet up on Pelosi's desk ON HER DESK! This aggression will not stand!
OK, before I go any further with this essay, I need to explain to my regular readers (in case it wasn't already clear) that I've
decided to forswear every word I've ever written, and all my principles, and my common sense, and join the remainder of my old leftist
and liberal friends in the orgy of online hate and outrage they are currently mindlessly indulging in.
I'm already in enough trouble as it is for not playing ball with their "
apocalyptic plague ," and whatever else I
am, I am certainly no martyr, and I have a career in the arts to consider, so I have decided to listen to my inner coward and join
the goose-stepping global-capitalist mob, which is why this column sounds slightly out of character.
See, back in the old days, before my conversion, I would have made fun of my liberal friends for calling this "storming" of the
Capitol a "coup," or an "insurrection," and for demanding that the protesters be prosecuted as "domestic terrorists."
I probably would have scolded them a bit for taking to the Internet and spewing their hatred at
the unarmed woman
shot dead by the police like a pack of soulless, totalitarian jackals.
I might have even made a reference to that infamous scene in Schindler's List where the crowd of "normal" German citizens
all laugh and jeer as the Jews are marched away to the ghetto by the Nazi goons.
But, now that I have seen the light, I see how bad and wrong that would have been. Clearly, trespassing in the US Capitol is a
crime that should be punishable by death. And comparing contemporary American liberals to the "good Germans" during the Nazi era
is so outrageous that well, it should probably be censored.
In fact (and I hope my liberal friends are still reading this), the police should have shot the entire lot of them! All these
Russian-backed Nazi insurrectionists should have been gunned down right there on the spot, preferably by muscle-bound corporate mercenaries
and CIA snipers in Black Hawk helicopters with big Facebook and Twitter logos on them!
Actually, anyone who trespassed in the Capitol Building (which is like a cathedral), or just came to the protest wearing a MAGA
hat, should be hunted down by federal authorities, charged as a "domestic white-supremacist terrorist," frog-marched out onto Black
Lives Matter Plaza, and shot, in the face, live, on TV, so that everyone can watch and howl at their screens like the
Two Minutes
Hate in 1984 . That would teach these "insurrectionists" a lesson!
Or they could shoot them in one of those corporate-branded stadiums! We could make it a weekly televised event. It's not like
there is any shortage of Trump-supporting "domestic terrorists." They could use a different stadium every week, deck the place out
with big "New Normal" banners, play music, make speeches, the whole nine yards. Everyone would have to wear masks, of course, and
strictly adhere to social distancing. Folks could bring the kids, make a day of it.
How am I doing so far, leftist and liberal friends? No? Not fanatical and hateful enough?
OK, so what is it going to take to convince you that I have changed my tune, got my mind right, and am totally on board with the
New Normal totalitarianism? Trump? Sure, I can do Trump. I hate him! He's Hitler! He's Russian Hitler! He's Russian White Supremacist
Hitler!
Yes, I know I've spent the last four years pointing out that he isn't actually Hitler, or a Russian agent, and that he's really
just the same ridiculous, narcissistic ass clown that he has always been, but I was wrong. He's definitely Hitler, and a Russian
agent! He is certainly not just a pathetic old huckster without a single powerful ally in Washington who could not stage an actual
coup if Putin nuked every blue state on the map.
No, I soil myself in fear before his awesome power. Never mind that he's just been banned by
Facebook ,
Twitter , and
numerous other corporate platforms , and made a fool of by the corporate media, the international political establishment, the
Intelligence agencies, and the rest of GloboCap since the day he took the oath of office.
Forget the fact that, although he holds the nuclear launch codes in his tiny little hands and is Commander in Chief of the US
military, the most he could do to challenge his removal was file a buttload of hopeless lawsuits and sit around in the Oval Office
eating cheeseburgers and tweeting into the night.
No, none of that means a thing, not when he still has the power to "embolden" a few dozen pissed-off Americans to storm (
or calmly walk ) into the Capitol and
take selfies sitting in the Vice President's Chair!
Look, the point is, I hate him. And I hate his supporters. I hate everyone who doesn't hate him and his supporters. I hate everyone
who won't wear a mask. I hate the Republicans. I hate the Russians. I hate everyone who won't get the vaccine. My God do I hate them!
I am so full of hatred and mindless rage that it is making me crazy. I am so consumed with self-righteous hatred, propaganda, and
manufactured hysteria that, if Rachel Maddow, or Chris Hayes, or whoever, told me that it was time to round them all up, these "domestic
terrorists," these "insurrectionists," these "conspiracy theorists," these "anti-mask extremists" (and anyone else who won't obey
us), and put them on trains and send them to camps, I'd probably be OK with that.
How am I doing, liberals? Am I back in the club? Because, I get it. I swear! I'm cured! Praise God! I'm ready to pitch in and
do my part. I believe in GloboCap's final victory! I'm willing to work, if our leaders order me, ten, twelve, or fourteen hours a
day, and give all I have for GloboCap victory! I am ready for total ideological war an ideological war more total and radical than
anything I can even imagine!
Sure, our imaginary enemies are formidable (and this war will probably last forever or at least until the end of global capitalism),
but, in the words of one our greatest liberal heroes, George W. Bush, "bring it on!"

Better to be a conspiracy theorist than a bootlicking fantasist who thinks a bunch of
eugenicist billionaire parasites are just 'incompetently' trying to save pensioners from a media-inflated flu, but 'mistakenly' imprisoning & fleecing the population in the
process.
We warned these people relentlessly that the despotic 'public health' policies they
demanded from the regime would immiserate millions more workers, they laughed and mocked us,
now they cry crocodile tears at the obvious consequences which they enabled.
While it's true that #1984 can't be used as a hashtag, this has nothing to do with
censorship, politics, Trump, or the Capitol riot. Twitter does not let users create hashtags
solely from numbers. You can't make a hashtag for #1234, #2021, or any other string of numbers.
But humorists and neoliberal MSM are elible to exaggerate things ;-)
Rabid fighter for gender nutral terms, the Speaker of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi, is
eighty years old. It's time to think about something eternal. And what could be more eternal
than the great and mighty English language. Known for its vast vocabulary. Which the Democratic
congressional caucus decided to slightly reduce by voting on Monday for new rules for official
record-keeping.
Instead of the words "he" or "she", it is now recommended to use the gender-neutral terms.
Instead of "father", "mother", "son", "daughter", "brother", "sister", "uncle", "aunt" --
generalized "parent" or " child". And instead of "brother" and "sister", it is better to use
the word "sibling". And so on.
Which means Joseph Biden got very unlucky. Because every one of the forty-five presidents
before him was called " Mr. President." And "mister" is no longer allowed. Because this word
has a clear gender connotation.
And there's nothing he can do about it: the law is the law.
For ten years, humanity has been preparing to meet the coronavirus pandemic prepared, if not
from a medical point of view, then at least from the technological point of view. And maybe
with the medical one, too -- after all, we do not encounter the achievements of genetic
modeling in everyday life as often as with the achievements of digital technologies. But the
minimum time frame for the development of a coronavirus vaccine seems to tell us that in this
area, too, the past ten years have not been lost for all of us.
And here we are faced with a dialectical contradiction. On the one hand, technology has
enabled us to withstand the pandemic and adapt to to working from home for those who can allow
it. On the other hand, if it were not for technology, there would be no pandemic.
It would be
no air travel, no places of the big congestion of people, without a developed industry of
tourism and travelling. And-who knows-maybe the virus itself would not exist without
technology. Although here I am entering on a slippery slope of unsubstantiated assumptions.
It is difficult to agree that the "values" spoken of by Pompeo equate with the Washington Post report on January 14
that the National Mall in Washington will have to be closed on the day of Mr Biden's inauguration as 46 th President
of his nation.
"The extraordinary closure is the latest in a series of security measures to harden the city against
the type of violence that rocked the Capitol on January 6. Local and federal officials had already established a downtown security
zone and called up more than 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the presidential swearing in on January 20. The move is significant
because the Mall has been the traditional site where much of the general public has gathered to view the inauguration at the Capitol
in person."
It would not be surprising if a similar paragraph had appeared in the media concerning such cities as Baghdad, Tripoli or Kabul,
which have suffered grievously from U.S. attacks, simply because these places are unstable to the point of collapse.
But for this sort of military action to be necessary in the national capital of "the greatest country on earth" is a sad
indication of the depth to which Trump has taken America.
... within just 72 hours of this ban madness starting, Russian Social Media/Messenger
Platform "Telegram"
gained 25 million new users . This is unlikely to be a fluke or coincidence. Furthermore,
this new member surge brings the total user base to healthy 500 million.
This means that the majority of Telegram's audience are now not
connected to Russia in any way. The platform has reached the critical mass needed to become a
mainstay of daily life across the globe.
... During the Cold War, thanks to the dismal state of Soviet media, the youth of the USSR
was listening to Radio Freedom and doing anything that it could to jump into the Western media
sphere of influence.
It was simply the better alternative that gave them breathing room to
think about life without a framed Lenin picture in the background
The stuff about the NY consulate really sets me off, Sputnik said the phones are down for
two days running and internet intermittent.
It's hard to guess at the reason for any of it since it could be almost anything (and
pretty much entirely stupid no matter what) but what's much more noticeable is the apparent
lack of interest in truly clarifying what the hell the point is/was supposed to be (instead
of bs) from anyone inside anywhere in the US government structures, or intelligence services,
or armed forces.
Dystopian and dysfunctional become synonyms at some point.
Other than that I'm only waiting to see if anything within the Pentagon will get a move on
to clear up all the mess (rather than "worrying" about National Guards who will do whatever
they're told). If anything happens I expect it to be clean and orderly and then after the
fact maybe the NG troops will be told something or the other a little before everyone else,
and that's about it. They don't have any need to know about anything in advance or as it
happens.
That's just me, at least a little bit more realistic in my "if-so" than the FBI and Pelosi
gang? :)
Below is a list of which House Republicans voted to impeach Trump on Wednesday.
Rep. John Katko
(N.Y.) : "To allow the President of the United States to incite this attack without
consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy. For that reason, I cannot
sit by without taking action. I will vote to impeach this President."
Rep. Liz
Cheney (Wyo.) : " There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United
States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the
President. "
Rep. Adam
Kinzinger (Ill.) : "There is no doubt in my mind that the President of the United
States broke his oath of office and incited this insurrection I will vote in favor of
impeachment."
Rep. Fred Upton
(Mich.) : "Enough is enough. The Congress must hold President Trump to account and send
a clear message that our country cannot and will not tolerate any effort by any President
to impede the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next. Thus, I will vote
to impeach."
Rep. Dan Newhouse
(Wash.) : "A vote against this impeachment is a vote to validate the unacceptable
violence we witnessed in our nation's capital. ... I will vote yes on the articles of
impeachment."
Rep.
Peter Meijer (Mich.) : "With the facts at hand, I believe the article of impeachment to
be accurate. The President betrayed his oath of office by seeking to undermine our
constitutional process, and he bears responsibility for inciting the violent acts of
insurrection last week."
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez
(Ohio) : "When I consider the full scope of events leading up to January 6th including
the President's lack of response as the United States Capitol was under attack, I am
compelled to support impeachment."
Rep. Tom Rice (S.C.) : "I
have backed this President through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and
voted for him twice. But, this utter failure is inexcusable."
Rep. David Valadao
(Calif.) : "Based on the facts before me, I have to go with my gut and vote my
conscience. I voted to impeach President Trump. His inciting rhetoric was un-American,
abhorrent, and absolutely an impeachable offense. It's time to put country over
politics."
There is a better chance of Joe Biden remembering his own name tomorrow than the Blue Team
admitting that the impeachment was bogus, no matter how strong the evidence.
In the reality the USA is not falling apart. It is neoliberalism that is falling apart and
this is just how common people feel during the collapse of neliberalism.
"79% of Americans think the US is falling apart" those not accounted for are possibly
homeless or illiterate and don't have the opportunity of putting their view forward.

The US regimes past and present have worn out their bag of tricks. A magician is a con-man.
And the only way they can entertain and spellbind the crowd with their routines is if
everyone just ignores the sleight of hand. But people are starting to call the US out for the
tricks it is pulling, and that's where the magician's career ends.

America as a whole is now reaping the fruits of its decades of exceptionalism complex.
Through its propaganda machine, Americans as individuals and collectively as a society, have
been brainwashed into believing that laws, rules and basic human decency do not apply to
themselves. These are only sweetened poisons for them to shove down the throats of other
lesser countries, especially those in Africa, Latin America, Middle East and Asia ((bluntly
put, non-white countries)) when it suited America's global resource thievery and daylight
wealth grabbing. Habitualized into bullying every other countries with no resistance,
Americans are now showing their ugly faces on each other. The same exceptionalism delusion
"the laws apply to you, not me'' is driving every American (except the colored Americans
probably) to blame all the ills of the country on everyone else except himself. Nancy Pelosi
advocated total lock-down but treated herself to a total grooming in a hair saloon is just
one example. For the sins it has committed over the decades, I guess the time is right for
USA to have a dose of its own medicine. Except in this case, America never thought it
necessary to develop an antidote.
Cancel culture is
now rampant in the entertainment industry, which wants to edit Trump from Hollywood history.
Stalin would be proud, but this kind of thinking is dangerous and could have devastating
consequences for the US.
If you blinked, you'd have missed it – a brief cameo appearance by Donald Trump
speaking to child actor Macaulay Culkin in the 1992 film ' Home Alone 2: Lost in
New York' .
The now notorious scene takes place inside the iconic Plaza Hotel where Trump tells Culkin,
playing the role of Kevin McCallister in the popular Christmas film, " down the hall and to
the left ." Not exactly R-rated material. Fast forward to these touchy times and Culkin
says he is " sold " on the idea of having Trump digitally replaced from the John Hughes
film.
So it's not enough to vote out Donald Trump after four tumultuous years in the White House;
it's not enough to impeach him, twice; it's not enough to remove him from every major social
media platform, effectively alienating him from his 75 million supporters. Now the insatiable
woke wolves must work retroactively to delete from the public mind any positive associations it
may still have with the real estate magnate turned American president.
But this little harangue is not really about Donald Trump, nor is it about Hollywood, where
the annual Academy Award ceremonies have become blood-curdling 1984-style Trump hate-fests.
Even less is this about Macaulay Culkin, who, like many other famous child actors, has
struggled throughout adulthood to prove he's just as lovable as his former pintsize self.
Instead, this is about the dangers of forgetting history and being " condemned to repeat
it. "
Whether Hollywood has forgotten or not, there have been other attempts throughout history to
erase the historical record. One famous case involved that of Nikolay Yezhov, the head of the
feared NKVD under Joseph Stalin, who presided over trials and executions (1936-1938) during the
Great Purge, a rather joyless period when hundreds of thousands perished without a trace.
So now that BLM and ANTIFA have been implicated with the events of Jan 6th in DC, can we
just say it was a mostly peaceful protest and everyone can go on to the next manufactured
crisis?
"... They all laughed and Schummer said " What qualifications do you have to join us" the old man said. " I am old, sick and suffer from dementia" ..."
An old man went to Congress and ask to see Pelosi, Schummer and Biden, at first they refused
but he insisted and they felt sorry for him and took him in. Pelosi ask him "Why did you come
to Washington". He said " I want to join you in Congress".
They all laughed and Schummer said "
What qualifications do you have to join us" the old man said. " I am old, sick and suffer from
dementia"
In their efforts to expunge the Trump movement from memory let alone existence, these
neo-Stalinists are hellbent on nullifying constitutionally guaranteed rights – freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to bear arms are under assault.
In place of the Bill of Rights, they would impose a Bill of Don'ts:
Don't say what we don't want to hear.
Don't gather where we don't allow, especially if you are a 'deplorable'.
Don't bother petitioning for grievances, because we don't care. Don't own weapons and don't
defend yourself when you or your property are attacked, even as the police are defunded.
Don't tell us about your right to privacy because our right to surveil you supersedes
it.
Don't tell us you have the right to confront the witnesses aligned against you, or see the
evidence alleged against you, or to present evidence and witnesses in your own defense. That's
your white privilege speaking, and we will not tolerate hate speech.
Don't expect us to be bound by due process or the rule of law. Feelings and desired outcomes
trump facts and rules, both of which are tools of oppression, relics of the fascist
patriarchy.
Don't object, or we will cancel you entirely from these Disunited States of Woketopia.
And first and foremost, don't dare have the temerity to question election results that have
handed us uncontested power.
Only authoritarians sanction this state of affairs. The harm they will do, as they neglect
and inflict further pain on the Republic, will be immeasurable. The nation is failing, not
merely because it is divided, but because a contingent has rejected its foundational
principles. That contingent is now in control.
Those are not students. Those are young neoliberals ;-) Or may be intensive studies exhausted them so that they are reaching a point of mental
stupification.
I feel like I'm in the book "The Giver" and I'm just now seeing how brain washed we all are. We're spoon fed shit by pretty
people on tv and are expected to accept it as the only truth we'll ever need.
Pelosi is an epitome of America - exceptionalism, incompetence, vindictiveness and total lack
of self awareness. It's like looking at yourself in the mirror and hating what you see.
Cop shoots lady in the back. Lady who is no threat to him at all. She is entering a small
hallway where there are three or more cops with rifles. The situation is completely under
control and a lady gets shot in the back.
And still no one is nervous, no one takes cover. They all just stand there. Cop who flouts
all rules has just discharged his firearm for no good reason ...
Posted by: oldhippie | Jan 15 2021 11:42 utc | 94
On the basis of other video of police shootings, fatal and found blameless by prosecutors
and/or grand juries, the cop action was more justified than most. For example, it is more
typical that the deceased citizen is shot in the back while trying to escape, frontally in
the chest while immobilized etc. The lady was advancing at the cop, momentarily with her
behind first, and looked quite a bit more fit. She was squeezing through a window in a door
panel that was cleared from glass mostly by others. Perhaps she took the initiative being
slimmer then the majority of the crowd -- the crowd and the cops "looked like America", i.e.
mostly chubby. Yea, that meant that most of them would not repeat what she was doing.
What I am trying to say is that the shooting was FULLY within de-facto norms in U.S.A.
Cops have an absolute right to be panicking beyond reason in a wide variety of situation, and
I never read about cops being instructed to shoot first at body parts that do not cause death
and to stop shooting once the target cannot move. For example, the target tries to open the
door of his own dwelling while keeping in the other hand a dangerously looking sandwich. I
bet he was shot in the back, but we are not suppose to second guess split second decisions
motivated by the defense of lives of common people.
"Shame, shame on the ten Republicans who joined with Speaker Pelosi & the House
Democrats in impeaching President Trump yesterday," Graham tweeted on Thursday.
"After all that he has done for our country, you would turn your back & betray him so
quickly? What was done yesterday only further divides our nation."
In a separate Facebook post, Graham, a longtime influential supporter of the president,
further elaborated on his disappointment.
House Democrats impeached him because they "hate him and want to do as much damage as
they can," he wrote. "And these ten, from [Trump's] own party, joined in the feeding
frenzy. It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that [Democratic House]
Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi promised for this betrayal."
The Putsch Govt and Tech & Media Oligarchs are "Riding the Tiger"
The reason I'm laughing, is because Joe and the deep state are exposing themselves for
who they are, a bunch of corrupt government officials who don't have the support of the
citizens.
Joe is going to have a really hard time unless they institutionalize the election
fraud and continue it, which is my biggest fear because it means we've become a corrupt
banana republic, and poverty will quickly ensue.
Big government brings poverty to the
public (and riches to the deep state) while freedom (i.e., small government that just
protects our freedoms, rather than socialism that promises to provide for us but instead
brings government forcing us to work) brings prosperity to the people.
JOKES. Just heard this one: I can make anti-Putin jokes on Russian social media. So, what, I
can make anti-Putin jokes on Western social media. (A re-tread of a Soviet-era joke). Or this:
Due to travel restrictions abroad, Americans have done a coup at home.
A major scandal is unfolding in the US naval community. It turned out that a whole class
of ships, on which America had pinned great hopes a couple of decades ago, turned out to be
utterly incapable of combat. What exactly are the problems with these ships? Why did they
only show up now? What does the massive corruption in the United States have to do with what
is happening?
Political events in the United States have overshadowed everything that happens in this
country. Including one event related to the Navy, which would indeed have exploded.
We are talking about a whole type of warships, both already delivered to the US Navy, and
those still under construction – the so-called Littoral combat ship (LCS) of the
Freedom type. And it's not that they're useless. And not at the prohibitive cost. And not
even that the gearboxes of the ship's main power plant (GEM) do not withstand the maximum
stroke, and with the speed of 47 knots, which was the ridge of this project, he will never be
able to walk – they also resigned themselves to this.
But at the end of 2020, it turned out that they generally cannot move faster than a dry
cargo ship for more or less a long time. That is, it is not just scrapping metal; it is also
almost stationary scrap metal.
I'm not sure about that. Seems to me you can always count on them to overplay their hand.
They lack the true artist's sense of when to quit, and they don't trust anyone to draw their
own conclusions. So you get these apocalyptic remarks about 'assaulting the very temple of
Democracy!' or similar nonsense, when everyone can see it was a bunch of hooligans acting out
in a demonstration that got too rowdy.
The smart thing would be to just let it slide - ignore him, treat him as something humorous
and irrelevant - and just move on. Treat it like 'this was unpleasant, but we've got more
important things to worry about'. In other words, defuse things. The one thing Trump has
always tried to be is the center of attention - so the best way of punishing him is to
relegate him to obscurity.
It is especially stupid to let the impeachment trial continue past the inauguration - it will
compete for attention with Biden's legislative agenda and you can count on Trump to drag it
out as long as possible. It is also open to challenge on constitutional grounds.
Thanks to the following website I am reminded of something I hardly remember today. Back on
November 7, 1983 the Senate was BOMBED !!!!
"[M19 member Susan] Rosenberg, sentenced to 58 years on explosives charges, was pardoned
by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office. [M19 member] Judith Clark, convicted of
murder in the Brinks case, had her sentence commuted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo "
"Susan Rosenberg [long after Bill Clinton pardoned her] has served as vice chair of the
board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and
fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement ."
"... "There is an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop in being bought and paid for by Chinese communist energy companies," she continued ..."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Newsmax TV: Filing to Impeach Joe Biden
"I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our
leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing
to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign
governments, Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies."
"We don't need a man serving in the presidency of the United States who is guilty of
committing the crime of abuse of power and is under investigation with Hunter Biden's laptop,
his very own son."
"There is an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop in being bought and paid for
by Chinese communist energy companies," she continued
"Many of us are altering our routines, working to get body armor, which is a reimbursable
purchase that we can make," Meijer told MSNBC in a Thursday interview.

How does that work after Trump has already resigned? This is just childish idiocy, in fact
much worse. Does this mean that Biden/Harris have no other policies than being anti Trump? So
now they want to make him a martyr? This looks like it is going to blow up in their faces,
figuratively or literally.
Trump's 2nd impeachment: what it reminds me of is the impeachment of Andrew Johnson during
reconstruction, a lot of historical resonance there, the bitterness, the desire to undo as
much as possible, and I'd say that this now is in some sense unfinished business from back
then.
"...Fellow-Satanists, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen! The year 2020 has been a
banner year for our society and for His Satanic Majesty! [Applause]
Our major success of 2020, of course, was in locking down half the planet by hyping a
not-too-dangerous respiratory virus that's mostly dangerous for the old and the sick with the
help of Satanic Minion Tedros Adhanom Boutros-Boutros-Boutros Ghebreyesus at our affiliate
World Health Organization. This has allowed us to proactively set in motion a controlled
demolition of the global economy. It stands to greatly enrich our members, whereas the
inevitable spontaneous collapse would have wiped us out. [Enthusiastic applause, shouts of
"Bravo!"]
Still, we must not grow complacent; the virus ploy will stop working for us at some point.
We do not want to find ourselves in the situation of a Boutros-Boutros-Boutros who cried wolf
one time too many! The hype is wearing off already. The use of the term "lockdown" was
unfortunate; after all, it is US prison slang for locking inmates in their cells. Plus those
damnable Russians seem to have developed their Sputnik-V, a vaccine that actually works. Now
everybody seems to want it instead of our preferred toxic, fertility-destroying potions.
Still, it brought tears of joy to many a Satanist's face watching millions of people wear
face masks and stand 1,5 meters apart just as shown in Stanley Kubrik's excellent film "Eyes
Wide Shut" starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. [Confused looks; some stifled guffaws, a
smattering of applause]..." http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2020/12/world-satanic-society-2020-year-end.html#more
Across the nation, Americans are peacefully protesting to demand an end to the pattern of
racial injustice and police brutality that has killed so many innocent Americans, as we saw
most recently in the murder of George Floyd.
It is alarming that here in our nation's capital, the thousands who have turned out
peacefully have been confronted with the deployment of various security officers from
multiple jurisdictions, including unidentified federal law enforcement personnel.
We have seen soldiers on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. We have witnessed Bureau of
Prisons officers in Lafayette Square. We have seen National Park Service officers hassling
peaceful protestors. Several states have deployed members of their National Guard to D.C.
This is in addition to the FBI and other security forces operating in our nation's
capital.
We are concerned about the increased militarization and lack of clarity that may increase
chaos. I am writing to request a full list of the agencies involved and clarifications of the
roles and responsibilities of the troops and federal law enforcement resources operating in
the city. Congress and the American people need to know who is in charge, what is the chain
of command, what is the mission, and by what authority is the National Guard from other
states operating in the capital.
To make matters worse, some officers have refused to provide identification and have been
deployed without identifying insignias, badges and name plates. The practice of officers
operating with full anonymity undermines accountability, ignites government distrust and
suspicion, and is counter to the principle of procedural justice and legitimacy during this
precarious moment in our nation's history.
The Department of Justice itself in the past has stated that allowing officers to work
anonymously creates "mistrust and undermines accountability" and "conveys a message to
community members that, through anonymity, officers may seek to act with impunity." In recent
days, many former high-level DOJ officials have echoed these concerns and warned that
allowing federal law enforcement officers to operate without identification can fatally
weaken oversight efforts and fails to send the message that abuse will not be tolerated.
As peaceful people all over the country turn out to honor the memory of George Floyd and
protest for change, we must ensure that their safety and their constitutional rights are
being respected.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI
Speaker of the House

that took control over parts of cities, caused over $1bn in damage, and cost the lives of

@obwandiyag tol false
flag). This will be a Soviet-style gerontocracy with senile figureheads pretending to be in
power (think Biden vs Chernenko here). Looking at the old, Obama-era, names which are
circulated now for future Cabinet positions, we can bet on two things: the new rulers will be
as evil as they will be grossly incompetent, mostly due to their crass lack of education
(even Nuland and Psaki are back, it appears!). The Biden admin will be similar to the rule of
Kerensky in "democratic" Russia: chaos, violence, lots and lots of speeches and total social
and economic chaos. The next crucial, and even frightening, question now is: what will
replace this US version of a Kerensky regime?
The best we can hope for from President Biden's administration, is possibly a UBI of
$1,200/month granted to the legacy white populace. That guaranteed income would allow those
racists a modest diet, heat in the winter, some gasoline to drive their vehicles and some
basic medical care.
Joseph Biden has been in public service now for nearly 60 years. He's seen the
inequalities, the systemic racism throughout his career. The nation is fortunate that he's
still alive and possesses the energy and conviction to finally change things.
He's a wonderful man, with a gigantic heart and the will to put this country right. Also,
his spouse, Dr. Jill Biden, along with their son, Hunter (an heroic figure himself) will
guide the nation forward.

also shows how anti-white some white people can be and why they want so much immigration we

Voice of America CEO Accused Of Fraud, Misuse Of Office All In One Week
Fresh crises and fresh challenges confront the Trump-appointed CEO of the parent of Voice
of America, even with less than two weeks left of the Trump presidency.
To start, the Attorney General of the District of Columbia this week accused U.S. Agency
for Global Media CEO Michael Pack of illegally funneling more than $4 million to his private
documentary company through a not-for-profit that he also controls.
"The city of Detroit gave 95 per cent of its vote to Biden/Kamala, a number that Mr Kim
Jong-un would view with slight envy, while Mr Lukashenko would murmur, "How can it be done?"
It is highly likely this mind-boggling result was achieved in the following way.
Detroit Dems outsourced ballot harvesting to local drug lords, offering them as a prize
– recreational marijuana business licenses. These licences are the best thing since a
licence to print money. Having such licenses is like having your own ATM. Here you can read
about their profitability and the lengths criminals will go to obtain them. Detroit Dems had
changed local laws allowing the sale of marijuana in their fine city (it was forbidden until
November 2020). They changed local laws prescribing the issuing of marijuana licences to drug
dealers with previous convictions for drug dealing.
They let drug lords out of jail. They changed local laws to allow ballot harvesting; that
is, collecting postal votes and assisting with the filling in of ballots.
After that, the drug dealers went around collecting postal ballots and filling them in
immediately, if they were conscientious, or just filling them in at their leisure, if feeling
lazy. They had a judge at their disposal, Cynthia Stephens, who single-handedly changed
Michigan election laws, and then rejected Trump's claims of fraud."
"Biden: "No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting
yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that
stormed the Capitol. We all know that's true, and it is unacceptable. Totally unacceptable.""

It's like they are adjusting the narrative to the stupidity of the masses – they see
that most people just accept it anyway, so why bother even doing it properly when you can

protesters who breached the US Capitol on Wednesday. Rather than being forced to resign, he
said the two senators should be voted out of office when they come up for re-election.
Cruz and Hawley led opposition to certifying results of the November 3 presidential election
– at least not before an investigation – citing allegations that Biden won based on
hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes in Georgia and other swing states. "If he's the
only one saying it, that's one thing," Biden said of Trump. "But the acolytes that
follow him, like Cruz and others, they are as responsible as he is."
Biden's comments were not unlike the Nazi-invoking rhetoric that was used against Trump and
his supporters for the past four years. And the comments came one day after he leaned on
another anti-Trump theme, racism,
suggesting police failed to protect the Capitol because they responded more leniently to
Wednesday's rioters than if the protest had been a Black Lives Matter event.
"By using the 'terrorist' moniker Biden, and the media, are taking this thing into the
wrong direction. It creates more extremism and will likely have bloody consequences."

the election was fraudulent and it is good, the other believes that the election was
fraudulent and it is bad.

Zuckerberg and mass media can silence any comment including Trumps or those that come from

before it gains traction. (Zuckie rules, he must do as he wasn't elected, probably got

Read Trump's earlier stuff from Reuters
"
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The chaos in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday unfolded after President
Donald Trump spent weeks whipping up his supporters with false allegations of fraud in the
Nov. 3 election, culminating in a call to march to the building that represents U.S.
democracy.
The real question is was the election stolen? On balance, I would guess that
it was and that is why the courts all refused to examine the evidence, instead of allowing
the evidence to be presented and refuted. Trumps case was never answered only trashed
and ridiculed.

I also find it incredibly disingenuous that protestors/"rioters" made it into the Capitol
building despite sturdy doors, and the police couldn't stave it off.
just another addition to the "both sides are assholes" exhibit: the first comment on the
NPR tweet about the unarmed woman killed by a cop is "coups have consequences".
even putting aside the whole (valid) "if it was a black woman killed by a cop" argument,
i've loved seeing the past 4 years of so called "liberals" slowly losing their mask of
humanity. they complain about the MAGA types as if they're the barbarians at the gate but
they're ALL americans and therefore have violence and hatred of the "other" baked in from
birth.
also, if that shitbag thinks this was a "coup" then they're even less informed than their
idiotic comment would suggest.
Very well said. It's amazing how much you can tell about the agenda of the deep state just
by careful reading and noticing the words chosen--especially when you keep seeing the same
words repeated incessantly.
And incidentally, at first I was a bit curious about all this over-the-top sudden calls to
impeach Trump and that sort of nonsense...I was thinking it was just a matter of continued
venting of hatred at him for his "gift" of exposing the hypocrisy and duplicity of the deep
state, and the US in general. But it just occurred to me that no, it's because it has dawned
on them that a Trump drummed out of office by a clearly fraudulent election (i.e.,
righteously indignant) could be quite a rallying point for the disenfranchised regular
citizens of the US. So, they're hoping to spend these last two weeks doing everything they
can to tarnish his reputation and try to destroy his ability to rally the troops, so to
speak. I don't think it will work, but then again who knows to what depths they will sink to
permanently sink Trump. Expect a lot more craziness these last two weeks.
By allowing the protesters into the Capital Building, the chance to challenge the certification of the various states' electors
was lost. This was Trump's and his supporters' last chance. They have been played like a piano. Quite brilliant, in its way. Game over.
There was a curious
lack of resistance from the relevant authority. While Trump proved to be an incompetent and a coward, this looks like another Pelosi
dirty trick similar to Ukrainegate ? Russiagate and Ukrainegate taught him nothing.
That the incoming president declares a number of activist from the opposing party to be 'terrorists' demonstrates how unqualified
he is for that job.
Is this a terrorist? These were not terrorists but tourists who came from all over the states to Washington for fun and to register
their disagreement with the 'elites'.
Those rabbles were in no way terrorists. They were not even a mob. Most of them were out-of-town rednecks who felt that they had
been wronged. They wanted to express that. They were surprised when they found how easy it was to enter the Capitol and they apparently
took more time to take pictures than to rearrange the furniture.
[L]et's be clear about what did not take place at the Capitol Building last night. This was not a fascist coup, as so many shrill,
supposedly liberal commentators are claiming. Their flagrant use of the word 'fascist' to describe every political movement they
disapprove of is an insult to reason and history. This wasn't a coup full stop. The National Guard suppressed the morons, the
barricades were put back up, and even their hero Donald Trump told them to go home. A coup is a conscious effort to illegally
seize power from the government. These people couldn't even believe they made it into the Capitol Building. They were like children
finding a candy store unguarded.
A children's game. Indeed.
Yet Biden and others are furious about the stunt because it lifted the veil off their vaunted U.S. 'democracy' and its empty rituals:
Nicholas J. Fuentes @NickJFuentes - 21:01

The US Capitol is hardly a "sacred temple of democracy," it's the sleaziest brothel in the world, totally bought and controlled
by powerful interest groups and foreign governments. Who are they kidding?
Congressional processes are dirty fights about the distribution of the loot. There is nothing sacred about it. Just consider the
massive
bribes that were taken during the Georgia Senate races. Those hundreds of millions of 'donations' will have to be paid back in
kind.
The threat inflation, the wild claims about a fascist coup, are transparent efforts by the cosseted political and cultural elites
to endow their project with moral importance; to give their restoration of managerial, technocratic power after the four-year
populist experiment – which is fundamentally the project that Biden and his influential supporters are currently engaged in –
the gloss of historical urgency. It is mission creation.
Worse, this narrative-building will allow the elites to circumscribe even more forms of political thought and speech than they
already desire to do , on the basis that the latent fascism among the American rabble is likely to be stirred up by inflammatory
ideas and commentary. Indeed, we've already been given a chilling glimpse of this post-incursion clampdown on 'violent' speech
in Twitter's extraordinary decision to ban, outright, three of Trump's tweets last night and to lock him out of his account for
12 hours.
It strikes me that this unilateral use of corporate power by Silicon Valley to prevent the democratically elected president
of the United States from engaging with millions of his voters and supporters, to physically forbid him from partaking in online
discussion, is a grave assault on democracy, too. More grave, I would say, than the immoral and anti-democratic incursion of the
Capitol Building. Already, right away, we are seeing that the threat-inflating response to last night's events will likely have
longer-lasting negative consequences for open debate and democratic norms than the thing itself.
Biden is famous for mixing his words up. He meant to say that the protesters were "domestic tourists" . I'm sure he meant
to thank them for doing their part to revitalize America's service economy.
I mean, how many times do they have to say things like "totally unproven" and
"unsubstantiated" in every sentence before people start to think that they're being treated
like idiots?
Peaceful protesters only want democracy, freedom, and the realization of their civil rights.
The totalitarian American machine suppresses them, one citizen was even shot in the chest.
Monstrous barbarism and encroachment on the rights of people to peacefully protest! So awful.
It is the duty of the free world to support civic activists and sternly condemn the American
oppression machine of freedom!
I think it would be nice for the Russian Foreign Ministry to make a corresponding
statement. It would be very appropriate to troll the "western partners" well. The most
splendid trolling would be to try to call an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council
because of the events in the United States and discuss the oppression of peaceful protesters
and the repression of the American totalitarian power machine.
A resolution is also absolutely necessary urging the American authorities to immediately
end the harassment of peaceful protesters and to release the detainees. Of course, sanctions
are also needed in connection with the oppression of civil liberties by the American
authorities.
Well, the boomerang returned to those who threw it. That's wonderful.

And this brings us to the final traditional part of the year-end report: the forecast.
According to our Satanist friends at Deagel.com (lovely understated Satanic logo, by the
way, kudos to the designers!) by 2025 the United States will lose 70% of its population,
92% of its real GDP and its economy will be slightly smaller than that of Mexico.
Meanwhile, China will remain the world's largest economy, growing slightly, while Russia
and India will skyrocket to rank second and third. The world rankings will look quite
different. Germany will find itself somewhere between Chile and South Africa. Switzerland
and the United Kingdom (should this silly anachronism still exist) will rank somewhere
between Slovakia and Greece. The Swedes will be poorer than the Romanians... and so on. The
world is changing before our eyes and nothing will ever be the same.
They aren't that organized in the US to set up a revolution. We lack a US embassy.

IMO that's an ugly and likely criminal demand. But then, Trump has a coat of arms, with the
motto "Numquam concedere" (Never concede). Obviously.
Mr. Raffensperger said that the votes, as counted, liked by Trump or not, are correct and
have been counted three times already. Well, living in alternate reality, Trump doesn't
care.
Given Trump's personal of style, he's in for being insulted as a swamp RINO, disloyal to
Trump personally and ... (if he was a woman) also ugly, facelift wreck, fat and stupid. Also,
Trump is likely to support any competitor to him, as long as he, she or it has one head and can
breathe.
Good luck for him. He'll need it since as a result of such enthusiastic trumperey
Raffensperger now needs body guards, police protection and had a number of death threats. Some
nut encouraged by stuff like that may just kill him.
As for Assange, those who would like vengeance on him can live easy with that since the UK

After pushing phony stories of 'Russian interference' and working for an agency that
interferes in elections, ex-CIA agent now Congressman Will Hurd thinks the GOP should accept
Joe Biden's win, or risk helping the US' "enemies."
A dozen Republican Senators are getting set to object to the Electoral
College's certification of Joe Biden's win in November, unless an "emergency 10-day
audit" is held in a number of key swing states won by Biden. The move is also backed by a
number of Republican representatives in the House.
However, there's a rival faction of Republicans who want to put allegations of Democrat
fraud behind them and go back to business as usual under a Biden administration. Outgoing Texas
Rep. Will Hurd is one of them, and he made a novel argument against questioning the election on
Saturday.
"When I was undercover at the CIA, I saw firsthand how our enemies steal elections and
try to interfere in ours," he tweeted. "Elected officials continuing to sow doubt
amongst the public for petty political gain is playing into our enemies' hands."
As for who these "enemies" are, Hurd was presumably referring to the reliable old
specter of "the Russians." Throughout Trump's four years in office, Hurd has repeatedly
claimed that Moscow meddled in the 2016 election, despite there literally being zero proof for
these claims.
" This is honestly one of the most hilarious mega-viral tweets I've ever seen on
Twitter," journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted. In a follow-up tweet, Greenwald joked that
Hurd "must have been in a different part of the CIA" than former Director James Woolsey, who
told Fox News' Laura Ingraham in 2018 that his agency had meddled in European elections during
the Cold War "in order to avoid the Communists taking over," and continues to dabble in
election meddling, but "only for a very good cause.
Hurd was mocked on all sides. First for condemning election interference from an agency
famed for
interfering in elections
... ... ...
And then for bragging about his undercover status...
The neoliberal "identify wedge" that gone way too far ;-) That might be a gift to Republicans
for Georgia runoffs.
In any case this is looks like an important stage in the development of Neoliberal Newspeak.
I guess Huxley got one prediction right in Brave New World, that "father" and "mother" would be
treated as offensive words.
...Terms to be struck from clause 8(c)(3) of
rule XXIII , the House's Code of Official Conduct, as outlined in the proposed rules (
pdf
), include "father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew,
niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother,
stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, [and] granddaughter."
Such terms would be replaced with "parent, child, sibling, parent's sibling, first cousin,
sibling's child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild,
stepsibling, half-sibling, [and] grandchild."
According to the proposed rules, "seamen" would be replaced with "seafarers," and "Chairman"
would be replaced with "Chair" in Rule X of the House.
... ... ...
The rules package will be introduced and voted on once the new Congress
convenes.

"... The psychological effects of loneliness are a health risk comparable with risk obesity or smoking. Anxiety and depression have spiked since lockdown orders went into effect. ..."
The paper of record in 2020 shifted dramatically to the most illiberal stance possible on
the virus, pushing for full lockdowns, and ignoring or burying any information that might
contradict the case for this unprecedented experiment in social and economic control. This
article highlights the exceptions.
...
Even within the blatant and aggressive pro-lockdown bias, and consistent with the way the
New York Times does its work, the paper has not been entirely barren of truth about Covid and
lockdowns. Below I list five times that the news section of the paper, however inadvertently
and however buried deep within the paper, actually told the truth.
I'm still stunned that the paper did a study that confirmed what people have suspected,
namely that a high cycle threshold used on PCR testing was creating the appearance of a
pandemic that might have long receded. The testing mania was generating wild illusions of
millions of "asymptomatic" carriers and spreaders. How severe was the problem? Read this and
weep:
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in
Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried
barely any virus, a review by The Times found.
On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a
database maintained by The Times . If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New
York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to
isolate and submit to contact tracing.
The implications of this revelation are incredible. A major reason for the ongoing lockdowns
are due to the pouring in of positive case numbers from massive testing. If 90% of these
positive tests are false, we have a major problem. The whole basis of the panic disappears. All
credit to the Times for running the article but why no follow up and why no change in its
editorial stance?
Gone missing this year in public commentary has been much at all about naturally acquired
immunities from the virus, even though the immune system deserves credit for why human kind has
lasted this long even in the presence of pathogens. That the Times ran this piece was another
exception in otherwise exceptionally bad coverage. It said in part:
Scientists who have been monitoring immune responses to the virus are now starting to see
encouraging signs of strong, lasting immunity, even in people who developed only mild
symptoms of Covid-19, a flurry of new studies suggests. Disease-fighting antibodies, as well
as immune cells called B cells and T cells that are capable of recognizing the virus, appear
to persist months after infections have resolved -- an encouraging echo of the body's
enduring response to other viruses .
Researchers
have yet to
find unambiguous evidence that coronavirus reinfections are occurring, especially within
the few months that the virus has been rippling through the human population. The prospect of
immune memory "helps to explain that," Dr. Pepper said.
Data from monkeys suggests that even low levels of antibodies can prevent serious illness
from the virus, if not a re-infection. Even if circulating antibody levels are undetectable,
the body retains the memory of the pathogen. If it crosses paths with the virus again,
balloon-like cells that live in the bone marrow can mass-produce antibodies within hours.
It's still a shock that so many schools closed their doors this year, partly from disease
panic but also from compliance with orders from public health officials. Nothing like this has
happened, and the kids have been brutalized as a result, not to mention the families who found
themselves unable to cope at home. For millions of students, a whole year of schooling is gone.
And they have been taught to treat their fellow human beings as nothing more than disease
vectors. So it was amazing to read this story in the Times :
So far, schools do not seem to be stoking community transmission of the coronavirus,
according to data emerging from random testing in the United States and Britain. Elementary
schools especially seem to seed remarkably few infections.
Byline Karen Yourish, K.K. Rebecca Lai, Danielle Ivory and Mitch Smith
Another strangely missing part of mainstream coverage has been honesty about the risk
gradient in the population. It is admitted even by the World Health Organization that the case
fatality rate for Covid-19 from people under the age of 70 is 0.05%. The serious danger is for
people with low life expectancy and broken immune systems. Knowing that, as we have since
February, we should have expected the need for special protection for nursing homes. It was
incredibly obvious. Instead of doing that, some governors shoved Covid patients into nursing
homes. Astonishing. In any case, the above article (and
this one
too) was one of the few times this year that the Times actually spelled out the many thousands
times risk to the aged and sick as versus the young and healthy.
Notable Opinion
columns
The op-ed page of the paper mirrored the news coverage, with only a handful of exceptions.
Those are noted below.
I am deeply concerned that the social, economic and public health consequences of this
near total meltdown of normal life -- schools and businesses closed, gatherings banned --
will be long lasting and calamitous, possibly graver than the direct toll of the virus
itself. The stock market will bounce back in time, but many businesses never will. The
unemployment, impoverishment and despair likely to result will be public health scourges of
the first order.
Worse, I fear our efforts will do little to contain the virus, because we have a
resource-constrained, fragmented, perennially underfunded public health system. Distributing
such limited resources so widely, so shallowly and so haphazardly is a formula for failure.
How certain are you of the best ways to protect your most vulnerable loved ones? How readily
can you get tested?
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is unwittingly conducting what amounts to the
largest immunological experiment in history on our own children. We have been keeping
children inside, relentlessly sanitizing their living spaces and their hands and largely
isolating them. In doing so, we have prevented large numbers of them from becoming infected
or transmitting the virus. But in the course of social distancing to mitigate the spread, we
may also be unintentionally inhibiting the proper development of children's immune
systems.
Our mental health suffers, too. The psychological effects of loneliness are a health risk
comparable with risk obesity or smoking. Anxiety and depression have spiked since lockdown
orders went into effect. The weeks immediately following them saw nearly an 18 percent jump
in overdose deaths and, as of last month, more than 40 states had reported increases. One in
four young adults age 18 to 25 reported seriously considering suicide within the 30-day
window of a recent study. Experts fear that suicides may increase; for young Americans, these
concerns are even more acute. Calls to domestic violence hotlines have soared. America's
elderly are dying from the isolation that was meant to keep them safe.
Inevitable decline of the United States hastened by corrupt politicians, greedy CEOs,
dishonest MSM and the well-funded Marxists who have infected every aspect of USA, from local
mayors to the Supreme Court.
"There are times that I wonder if today's Democrats see George Orwell's 1984 not as a
warning but a model of good government."
In celebration of a 2020 that desperately needs to come to an end, here is a list of the
Top 10 Worst Mayors in the nation. These mayors most definitely use Orwell's 1984 as their
policies and procedures manual, if not their Bible.
It comes as no surprise that all 10 of the mayors on the list are Democrat (something
about that political party), and that five of the 10 are mayors of West Coast cities
(something about the Pacific Ocean).
Several of the mayors have overseen a mass exodus of people from their cities, and even
their state in a 10-month period. But most of all, every one of these mayors stand out as
abject failures of governance, with constituents that literally despise them.
Without further adieu, here is the Top 10 Worst Mayor's list for 2020:
10. Michael
Hancock (Denver)
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock could have stayed under the radar and never made it to the
Top 10 on this list. But thanks to his Holiday Hypocrisy, he landed firmly in the final
spot.
"According to the news report, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock was spotted leaving the
state to go spend Thanksgiving with his daughter in Mississippi. The Mayor's office said
that the Mayor had canceled his big holiday dinner this year, but "traveled alone" (aside
from the whole public transportation and flying from a crowded airport thing).
"His flight allegedly also took off 30 minutes after he posted this little gem to his
Twitter account:"
Local investigative reporter Nicole Vap dropped the hammer, exposing Mayor Hancock's
hypocrisy of not only telling others to stay at home, but hopping a flight from Colorado to
Mississippi without so much as an eyelash blink.
Hancock was "deeply regretful" about his decision, saying he led with his heart and not
his head.
When do they ever lead, let alone actually use their head to do so? Asking for a
friend.
9. Sam Liccardo (San Jose)
Our first Coastie Mayor enters the fray. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, like Hancock of
Denver, probably could have avoided this list too; but, when you dictate to people that they
are required to follow certain behavior, you better make sure you're dictating to
yourself.
Liccardo decided the City of San Jose needed to be scolded and reminded
Another plug for local journalism, as I
reported :
"San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo (Democrat-Duh), ignored his own protocols <clutch the
pearls!> and had
Thanksgiving with family members outside of his own household.
" 'The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has learned Liccardo celebrated with his elderly
parents at their Saratoga home with an unknown number of other guests. While the mayor's
staff did confirm the dinner took place, they have not disclosed how many other people
attended, how many different households were present, and whether any of those in
attendance wore masks while not eating.' "
So much for Liccardo avoiding the big gatherings and keeping people safe. The San Jose
Mayor assumed because he wasn't Governor Gavin Newsom, that no one would be watching. Dude,
we're all stuck at home -- you know we're watching.
Seeing those geriatric demonrats on their knees with their kente cloths, paying homage to
a dead drug addict was one of the more hysterical moments of 2020.

They do it because it works. Democrats love the theater. They don't mind being lied to if
it benefits them. Many of them actually believe it's not theater and that their political
heroes are being authentic and sincere....with crocodile tears, feigned outrage and other
drama techniques. I would have to give Adam Schiff an Oscar, but Chuck Schumer definitely
gets second place.
I've been on vacation in Mexico for the past two weeks. But that isn't the reason content
from me has been scarcer than normal. Yes, vacations are supposed to be for recharging and
taking a break from your routine.
But as I sat down to write this morning the overwhelming sense of futility washed over me .
And nothing saps your will to work more than reading through the headlines and noting the
complete lack of conscience on display by the media, our political leadership or frankly anyone
with half a brain.
We live in a world today where the legislature of one of the most important states in the
Union, Pennsylvania, released a report where more than 200,000 votes were counted than were
actually cast. And no one in our media seems to think this is news.
Worse, most people in America can't even be bothered to care about such things. And if you
were to confront them with the evidence there must be some good reason why that 'just can't be
true.'
The FBI, which couldn't find any issues with Hunter Biden's laptop for months nor ever do
anything substantial with Anthony Weiner's laptop in FOUR YEARS somehow solved the case of the
Nashville bomber in less than 48 hours conclusively.
And that conclusion was the same as every other major terrorist event in this country's
recent history - a lone crackpot blew himself up to make a half-formed political statement. At
least this time they had the good sense to vaguely tie the patsy to the political left versus
turn him into a mouth-breathing MAGAtard with a Q-complex.
And somehow no one seems to care. Nor does anyone care about the lack of conclusion about
the shooting in Las Vegas a few years back.
Notice the trend? Major stories that are supposed to matter are dropped the moment they get
anything close to uncomfortable for those in power who are chosen to remain in power.
... ... ...
If we've reached this level of whitewashing of the news and the truth to this point, I'm
having to wonder why it is North Korea is so hated? I'm at a loss to come up with anything more
accurate than competitive envy at fiction writing.
Hundreds of millions of people's lives are being actively destroyed by overzealous governors
and heads of state issuing draconian lockdown orders over a virus with multiple vaccines that
are less effective than our own immune systems. A compromised WHO and CDC issue conflicting
recommendations weekly and Dr. Mengele Fauci openly admits to lying to us.
They all do this without any sense of shame, shedding crocodile tears so unconvincing they
could be runner-ups at a Miss America pageant. But we're supposed to think we're saved because
Congress decided to give us a $600 advance to pay our 2020 income taxes with?
The same operation has been done with COVID-19, any and all data associated with it, the
death statistics, the miraculous immunity to influenza Americans now seem to have, etc.
And if we are going to just sit back, mask up, accept the $600, put our heads down and
"believe all talking heads" then what's the point in pointing out the hypocrisy of it all?
The new Super-COVID is here and it's time to believe it all again.
Isn't that the real lesson of 2020? Don't fight the crazy just cling to the delusion that a
mask isn't a muzzle, guns can't protect you and we still live in a society with something
approximating rules.
Isn't that what all of this irreality is for, to desensitize us to their outrageousness? To
normalize their grotesquerie? I mean, really, does anyone honestly believe any single word that
comes out of Nancy Pelosi's mouth?
I didn't think they made masks big enough to contain the Pinocchio nose she has to have at
this point. Maybe she's had to have so much plastic surgery to contain it that it collapsed
like Michael Jackson's and it's actually now just negative space.

It's VERY easy to do, but for some odd reason, "they" don't? Why would that be??
"Eighteen percent of the survey's respondents named Trump as their most admired man,
compared to 15 percent who named Obama and 6 percent who named President-elect Joe Biden . Three percent named
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci , while 2 percent chose Pope Francis .
Biden gets only 6% - what on earth were Gallup doing wrong? This looks like a tremendous
sales opportunity for Dominion voting systems, I'm sure their special vote adjudication
process can fix the problem.
I look forward to seeing Trump's figure next year and BHO's for that matter. Let's see
what the next few days bring.
Before 2020, the world was a bleak dystopia overrun by Nazis. It never ceased to amaze me
how many Nazis I would encounter on a daily basis once I had decided that everyone but me was a
Nazi.
This was the year that intersectional identity politics went mainstream, and there is no
going back. The gender-neutral genie is out of the bottle, and xe is fabulous.
There were uprisings against systemic injustice, statues of straight white males were torn
down, and Ben and Jerry's reminded their customers how racist they all were in order to
encourage them to buy more of their New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream.
This was all made possible because Covid-19 refused to spread during our mass protests ,
which just goes to show that even pathogens have gone woke.
The world finally accepted that there are more than 400 genders , and that all of these have
been persecuted throughout history. Even the ones we invented last week.
Intersectional feminism triumphed over transphobia. All of a sudden, major companies were
using phrases such as "menstruators", "vulva owners" and "people with a cervix". All of which
is far more respectful to women: or, as I like to call them, bipedal gestation units.
We are now living in a post-BLM world, where Critical Race Theory has been received as the
hallowed truth that shall guide us towards salvation. At last, we are amplifying voices of
colour that have been historically marginalised. (Except for the ones who don't agree with
defunding the police or dismantling capitalism, who are just white-adjacent scumbags that are
best ignored.)
Best of all, Joe Biden triumphed over that malevolent incubus Donald Trump. Already Biden
has discovered a vaccine for Covid-19, which explains why he spent most of his election
campaign in a basement.
As we move into 2021, Biden's brave message resounds throughout our new woke empire. It is
time for healing. It is time for hope. Above all, it is time for unity.
So let's make a list of everyone who voted the wrong way and deal with them as soon as
possible.
Just a reminder that Joe, the candidate with the most votes in the history of the USA, had
52k views on all of his live streams COMBINED yesterday when he "won." United Spot has more
than double that in Subs.
