Our Bizarre Economy

Believe it or not, 27% of all US household income comes from the government:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/27-all-household-income-us-now-comes-government

And I doubt it comes from taxing the other 73%. It's increasingly pulled out of thin air by printing more fiat money.

I just read that Speaker Pelosi somehow thinks it wise to break the House's own rules to give working Americans a $15 per hour minimum wage.

According to this source, 100 million of us are not in the workforce:

https://www.axios.com/labor-force-unemployment-jobs-reports-64ecdc87-0ea3-4cd2-97fb-f3abb48b666a.html

If all those people got full-time $15 per hour jobs, that would amount to over $3 trillion in wages per year. That would certainly give a boost to the economy if it came from private sector employers, but who is going to hire them all? Certainly not small businesses. And the Amazons of the world would rather use robots.

Do the people in DC even know what they're doing? Here are some thoughts from The Burning Platform blog:

Not only is the Great Reset, green new deal, communist doctrine implementation not going to reverse the downward spiral of the American Empire, but the last year of horrific political and financial decisions and imminent execution of the left-wing agenda through their empty senile vessel will accelerate the unavoidable collapse. MMT plus QE to infinity will surely solve all our problems.

The national debt went from $20 trillion when Trump was elected to $28 trillion today, and $30 trillion within the next year. It took 219 years to accumulate the first $10 trillion of debt, 9 years to accumulate the next $10 trillion of debt, and now less than five years to accumulate the next $10 trillion. Meanwhile, GDP has barely grown by 2% per year and household income has been stagnant for decades. Anyone who thinks this is sustainable, economically healthy, or representative of free market capitalism is either delusional or lying to promote their agenda of you owning nothing and being happy about it, while eating bugs and drinking processed piss.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

The American Empire is crumbling under the weight of military overreach; the totalitarian synergy between Big Tech and Big Gov.; destruction of the Constitution by traitorous surveillance state apparatchiks; the burden of unpayable debts; currency debasement; cultural decay; civic degeneration; diversity and deviancy trumping common culture and normality; pervasive corruption at every level of government; globalist agendas; and the failure of myopic leaders to deal with the real problems.

I think we're in big trouble. What do you think?

The Naked Sun

Long ago I read several of Isaac Asimov's books (Foundation trilogy, etc.). For some reason, The Naked Sun is one that sticks with me.

You can find a synopsis here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

We appear to be on a trajectory to becoming the sort of society the book describes:

  • a sparsely populated planet where most work is done by robots
  • elites living on huge estates (e.g., Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg)
  • practicing strict social distancing
  • communicating via technology (e.g., Zoom) instead of face-to-face

I guess what bothers me the most is that wealthy techies now have the means to turn Earth (and perhaps Mars) into such a place and appear to be working toward that goal.

What do you think? Do you really believe they created mRNA vaccines to help keep our planet overpopulated and on the brink of disaster? Or do the vaccines have another purpose?

They may be evil, but they're NOT stupid.

By the way, here is a brilliant essay which compares Trump to the Mule:

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/02/23/was-trump-the-mule/

To me, it's a perfect analogy.

Energy - More Questions Than Answers

Here are two recent energy-related reports which raise some serious questions:

(1) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/noya-labs-turns-cooling-towers-143039898.html

The combustion exhaust stream at power plants is NOT typically routed through the cooling towers. Water from the condensers is. If this scheme combines exhaust gases and reactive chemicals in cooling tower water, it may have a serious impact on the lifetime of condenser tubes and the structure of cooling towers themselves. This may make the installation of such a system in an existing plant impractical or prohibitively expensive.

(2) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scientists-warn-filling-sahara-solar-230000011.html

The proportion of the incident light that is reflected by a planet's surface is called "albedo". Large scale solar projects will reduce Earth's albedo and cause warming of our atmosphere. If this sort of warming equals or exceeds that alleged from the burning of fossil fuels, then what's the point of solar power?

Questions such as these must be asked and answered before we allow Wall Street and the climate change industry to make irreversible changes to our power grid. Unfortunately neither the MSM nor the scientific community at large appear willing to do so.

Greening Helped Freeze Texas

Here is someone who agrees with me that "greening" of the Texas power grid played a major role in the recent mess down south:

https://tomluongo.me/2021/02/25/the-greening-of-the-grid-froze-texas/

I argued as much in a recently rejected letter to the editor of the Austin American-Statesman. I also emphasized the role of Wall Street in the Texas debacle:

Are we really supposed to believe the buyout of TXU by KKR in 2007 and TXU's subsequent bankruptcy did not affect its ability to upgrade and winterize its facilities? Would the 8 planned coal-fired power plants cancelled as part of the KKR deal have prevented the outages?

And while we slavishly follow the demands of the climate change industry, China continues to add coal-fired power plants to their grid:

https://anti-empire.com/china-added-three-times-as-much-coal-in-2020-as-the-rest-of-world-combined/

They're certainly not dummies. So what the hell is wrong with us?

Update - 2/27/2021

Here is further discussion about China's carbon emissions:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-emits-more-carbon-in-2-weeks-than-australia-does-in-one-year-think-tank_3709999.html

We're going to be carbon poor while China will be filthy rich. Does that make sense to you?

Science, Or BS ???

My paternal grandfather had a favorite saying:

"If they told you shit was candy, would you eat it?"

Here is a discussion of shit which has been passing for candy at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/scientists-show-covid-tests-useless-based-flawed-science/5738318

The more one looks into this, the stranger things get. If you don't smell a rat, you must have COVID nose.

UFO Or Drone ???

You've probably seen at least one version of this report:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/american-airlines-not-denying-ufo-spotting-says-talk-to-the-fbi

Although the word "wings" is never mentioned, this sounds more like a drone than an extraterrestrial craft. Perhaps an MQ-9 Reaper.

If it was, who is flying such drones in our skies ... and why? Is this one of the responses to the Jan. 6 "insurrection" or to congressional fantasies about US "extremists"?

They probably always planned to use the full spectrum of "war on terror" tactics and technology on US citizens. The Trump fiasco was just the latest pretext for doing so.

Sociocide By Hollywood ???

Here are some timely observations by Brandon Smith:

What I see in the film industry and in the corporate world in general today is complete and unfettered propaganda. We have moved beyond the phase of subversively hidden manipulations to a new stage in which the propaganda has become blatant and aggressive. Almost every new movie and television series, not to mention most commercials, are rife with leftist distortions. You will be hard pressed to find any content these days that does not push ideas like:

1) Endless feminist platitudes.

2) Mentions of patriarchy and “white privilege”.

3) Ridiculous exaggerations of racism in America (as if nothing has changed since the days of Jim Crow).

4) Oppression of women, rape culture, etc. as if all the tenets of first and second wave feminism have not already been accomplished. Depicting oppression of women where none actually exists.

5) Women consistently portrayed as overtly masculine with traits and abilities that defy their biology.

6) Men consistently portrayed as weak and feminine.

7) Masculinity, strength, competition and merit portrayed as destructive, “toxic” and outdated.

8) Common positive feminine traits (nurturing, child rearing, home making) portrayed as obsolete or oppressive.

9) Forced and unrealistic diversity, which misrepresents the actual statistical racial make-up of the US population and other Western nations.

10) Saturation of gay and Trans representation – A tiny percentage of the population is made to appear as if it is a vast movement that inhabits every person’s daily experience.

11) Older generations cast as confused and ignorant, or removed from film and television completely.

12) Younger people portrayed as wise leaders “cleaning up the messes” of older generations, somehow blessed with extensive knowledge and experience by mere virtue of their youth.

13) History erased and rewritten to reflect modern leftist ideals.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. “Representation” in itself is not a bad thing, but when it becomes a weapon used to twist fundamental truths for political gain, then it is a problem. None of the concepts listed above are an accurate reflection of the Western world or human reality. Instead, they seek to make the outliers into the mainstream, and they seek to take normal human biological and psychological standards and portray them as aberrant and wrong.

It seems to me that what is happening borders on sociocide:

Sociocide is a term first coined in the 1980s by Johan Galtung. Sociocide can be defined as the deliberate destruction of social infrastructure. It is the killing of the social, encompassing the fundamental matters pertaining to society, for example, group solidarity, national, ethnic, and gender identity, the family, and social institutions.

Source - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781405165518.wbeoss326.pub2

So, why is Hollywood doing this to us? Who controls Hollywood, and why would the US government let them do this ... unless the Deep State was behind it?

We may never know the answers to such questions, and even if we did I doubt we could change the course of what is happening.

Are you happy now?

Update - 2/26/2021

Even Mr. Potato Head has succumbed to the pressures of the gender-neutral crowd:

https://summit.news/2021/02/25/mr-potato-head-to-become-gender-neutral-to-allow-kids-to-create-same-sex-families/

Is this what We the People want?

Here is more gender nonsense:

They just won't quit, will they?

Biden Not In Charge ???

According to Senator Lindsey Graham, it looks like President Biden is not actually in charge of the executive branch:

https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/lindseygraham-progressives-senate-moderate/2021/02/24/id/1011428/

Many believe Biden is senile, and it's looking increasingly like they are right. This is not the first time presidential incapacity has been hidden from the public, but it may be the first time in the nuclear era.

Why is Speaker Pelosi trying to wrest the nuclear football from our Commander in Chief? Other Democrats appear to back this move, but isn't she the major force behind it?

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-biden-rescind-sole-nuclear-capabilities

In my view, NO ONE should have nuclear weapons. The fact that we still do ... AND have helped our "friends" get them too ... proves we're not really committed to nuclear disarmament. And the fact that we continue to threaten nuclear armed states proves this is not a "presidential" problem but a complete failure of diplomacy at all levels, from all parties.

I'm FAR more concerned about the crazies Biden is putting into his administration than I ever was about Trump.

SCOTUS Under Attack

The widespread attack against all those who question the results of the 2020 "election" has now spread to the Supreme Court:

https://news.yahoo.com/dissent-justice-thomas-election-case-223407739.html

Justice Thomas is right. SCOTUS did not examine the evidence, did not set out rules before the election, and still refuses to set out any rules for future elections. Like everyone else, they apparently don't have the backbone to stand up to the Biden-Harris-Pelosi gang.

Anyone who criticizes Thomas for his dissent is not a friend of the US Constitution.

And by the way, if Mike Lindell is happy that Dominion has sued him, he's nuts:

https://www.rt.com/usa/516289-mike-lindell-dominion-lawsuit/

He probably thinks the legal system will help prove his claims, but the last few months suggest that no US court is going to do anything which would challenge the election results. Lindell is on a fool's errand.

Who Killed Malcolm X ???

Revelations from a former New York cop suggest the FBI and NYPD were complicit in the assassination of Malcolm X:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/21/ex-new-york-policeman-implicates-nypd-and-fbi-in-malcolm-x-murder

This is quite believable. The FBI and local police forces also were complicit in the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK.

Uncle Sam destroys entire nations. Is it so hard to believe he doesn't kill his own people when they get in his way?

An Impeachment Post-Mortem

From Martin Sieff:

What was the Second Impeachment of Donald Trump? Shakespeare gave us the answer in his Scottish Play more than 400 years ago.

It was a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Who Is Right, Who Is Wrong ???

Here are two contrasting reports about the Texas power shortages:

(1) Green energy has almost nothing to do with the disastrous Texas energy blackouts:

https://www.aol.com/texas-energy-fiasco-highlights-biden-203735015.html

(2) Wind power failed first, natural gas failed last:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cascend-data-shows-wind-power-was-chief-culprit-texas-grid-collapse

Is this just a case of viewing the same facts from two different perspectives?

Note that report (1) presents no data, while report (2) contains data-rich graphs. Which is more believable?

I'll admit I did NOT view all the pages internally linked to report (1), so perhaps I missed something.

And by the way, the following statement is indeed correct, but not in the way you might think:

"Green energy has almost nothing to do with the disastrous Texas energy blackouts."

Green energy may or may not have caused the blackouts, but the blackouts already are being used as a pretext to push the green energy agenda (a.k.a. the Green New Deal). In that regard, the two are directly related.

What do YOU think?

A Dire Warning

I believe the vast majority of medical doctors are conformists. They "practice" medicine in conformance with strict protocols which are harshly enforced. This especially applies to their stance on vaccines, any criticism of which is the third rail of medical ethics.

That's why this video of doctors and others who denounce the mRNA vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic in general is so remarkable. It more or less makes them pariahs in their own profession:

https://brandnewtube.com/watch/doctors-around-the-world-issue-dire-warning-do-not-get-the-covid-vaccine_WT6vJskV1FrtPHO.html

I think they're worth listening to. The video may seem to be repetitious, but so are the pro-pandemic, pro-vaccine mantras to which we're subjected on a continuous basis by Big Pharma shills.

I can't tell you what to do, but from my perspective the linked video ought to be part of what you consider when making your "informed consent" whether or not to take the vaccine.

Triumph Of The Hit Men

A few days ago I submitted a proposed guest op-ed to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper about the unnamed conspirators behind the Texas blackout. They did not publish it:

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2021/02/texas-blackout-real-story.html

This morning I found this essay by Professor James K. Galbraith of UT-Austin which more or less discusses the same topic, although in greater detail:

https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/cold-truth-the-texas-freeze-is-a-catastrophe-of-the-free-market

A major difference between his op-ed and mine is that he also does not name those conspirators - Congress, Wall Street, and the climate change industry. Instead Galbraith blames the whole debacle on "the system", allowing US economic hit men to once again escape any blame for what has happened and will continue to happen as long as their "system" remains in control.

The imminent perils of what their system may now be planning may best be described by this essay which compares our brain-dead president to Boris Yeltsin of Russia:

In Yeltsin’s case, a new class of oligarchs arose during his first term, only to take complete control of the country during his second. They stripped Russia of its natural wealth and prized state assets with his assistance. The middle and lower classes were impoverished as the oligarchy amassed wealth that was unprecedented in Russian history.  Does anyone seriously believe that the Biden regime will do anything at all to rein in Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, or Jack Dorsey?  Of course not, as each of them played key roles in putting Joe Biden into office, just as Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky saved the 1996 Russian Presidential Election for Yeltsin.  They owned him and were greatly rewarded for their service to their President, just as the US oligarchy will be rewarded with protection from anti-trust actions and cheap foreign labor.

Source - https://www.revolver.news/2021/02/biden-is-the-reincarnation-of-russias-goofy-drunk-president-boris-yeltsin/

As the Green New Deal and other "great reset" initiatives do their dirty work on the US economy and social fabric, we must ask who is going to profit from all this upheaval and reinvention. The real triumph of the hit men is their ability to hide namelessly in the shadows while blaming the resulting chaos on forces allegedly beyond their control.

Don't you believe it. People who wield that kind of power do not leave such things to chance. They know what they're doing, they do have a plan, and if We the People don't actually benefit from it that's what they intended all along.

That's what economic hit men do.

A Sad Day For America

Here is a timely observation by Brandon Smith:

The collusion between government, corporations and extremist ideological movements is the classical definition of fascism. And, just as the Third Reich enjoyed immense funding, investment and industrial support from globalists and corporations in the decade leading up to WWII, the political left is enjoying immense support from the global corporate oligarchy today. You cannot be “anti-fascist” while you are colluding with fascists.

So, again, I ask leftists: If you are the rebels, if you are the freedom fighters, then why are all the elites you are supposedly fighting against on your side? Why are evil people your most avid allies?

Source - https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brandon-smith-question-leftists

And here is a very good discussion of what such "evil people" are doing to our nation:

https://wirepoints.org/an-exceptionally-sad-day-for-illinois-wirepoints/

Although the author is talking about Illinois, what he says has national applicability:

  • Trumpers are now blamed for everything;
  • Cultural icons are being torn down everywhere; and
  • Radically divisive critical race theory is becoming the basis for what we now call "education".

You may think all this is a good thing. I call it the end of the age.

The United States as we know it will not survive today's multifaceted cultural/political onslaught. The "evil people" possess almost all of the money, and they certainly hold all the reins of power. We the People no longer have a say in the matter, and unless you are one of the bogus "freedom fighters" mentioned above I'm sure you at least suspect this is a truly sad day for America.

For those who are interested or concerned, here is additional discussion:

https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/an-absurd-look-at-the-marxist-ultra-woke-education-system-in-2021-30855/

And if I may, I'd like to comment on an apparent paradox - the coexistence of fascism and Marxism in the same wave of destruction now sweeping the land.

Something similar happened in 1930s Germany during its descent into the Nazi era. Historically, fascism serves to strengthen capitalism and nationalism, while Marxism strives to tear both down. Now as then, the clash between the two will define our era.

But unlike what happened then, it's possible the two will continue to exist side by side, as long as the "evil people" want them to. We're witnessing the evolution of a two tiered system, in which the top tier (the 0.01%) will continue to thrive in a capitalist system while the bottom tier (the rest of us) will wither in a Marxist nightmare as we fight each other for the few scraps our brutal overlords toss into the dumpsters behind their buildings.

What Will They Monetize Next ???

Prisons are now testing grounds for "social impact bonds". Here is how it works:

Source - https://www.mintpressnews.com/prisons-prime-testing-ground-dehumanizing-hi-tech-advances/275458/

We could do something similar to get the unemployed working again, but since there aren't any jobs that probably would not be successful.

Bogus Story From Texas ???

This story about a cold weather shutdown of Unit 1 at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station appears to be somewhat bogus:

https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/texas-failed-winterize-nuclear-plant-leading-reactor-shut-down

Note that the referenced Event Report states the cause of the feedwater pump loss is "unknown".

In my experience, such pumps are indoors and are NOT handling feedwater at low temperatures. Without additional information, I fail to see how low external temperatures could have caused this problem.

Something is missing from this story, and until it's revealed I consider this report to be a red herring.

PM Of Georgia Shows The Way

According to this report, the PM of Georgia has resigned in opposition to the arrest of a political rival:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-georgia-politics-minister/georgias-prime-minister-resigns-opposition-calls-for-early-elections-idUSKBN2AI0X5?il=0

Q: So, why hasn't Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered to resign over the sham impeachment of President Trump and the continuing persecution of him?

A: Pelosi appears to have no intention of "unifying" the country. Continued unrest, sanctioned by her and her coterie of thugs, will help to crush her perceived enemies and consolidate her power.

I didn't vote for a wave of punishment and repression. Did you?

By the way, President Biden doesn't want to hear what we have to say. Will that help "unify" the country?

The Mostly Peaceful Capitol Protest

Update - 2/25/2021

Here is yet more discussion:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mother-cop-who-died-after-capitol-riot-believes-it-was-stroke-not-trump-supporter-killed

Update - 2/24/2021

Here is additional discussion:

https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/02/23/capitol-riots-were-a-dark-day-for-american-journalism/

Here is a very revealing discussion of the so-called Capitol riot/insurrection which occured on January 6. Glenn Greenwald sticks to the facts in ways the MSM usually doesn't:

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-claims

In addition to the fact such apparently false and exaggerated claims were used in an attempt to convict former President Trump, they also appear to be the pretext for keeping troops in DC for an indefinite period. To paraphrase William Shakespeare, something is rotten in the District of Columbia.

There are at least two other great concerns about this:

(1) These apparently false and exaggerated claims also are being used as the rationale for labeling Trump supporters as extremists or "terrorists"; and

(2) Even worse, similar false and exaggerated claims continue to be used as a pretext for the destruction of entire nations (e.g., Iraq and Libya).

There is something seriously wrong when the leaders of a country resort to lying to their own citizens to solidify their grip on power. Many of us believed it couldn't happen here, but boy were we wrong.

Texas Blackout - The Real Story

The current power shortages and resultant blackout in Texas have caused a flurry of finger-pointing at ERCOT and other scapegoats.

But three parties who may be the real culprits are seldom mentioned:

  • Congress
  • Wall Street
  • the climate change industry

For decades, the US Congress has been promoting and authorizing the deregulation of the electric utility industry. Such deregulation has turned formerly solvent and more or less well managed utility companies into a gaggle of fragmented, under capitalized shadows of their former selves. This has had disastrous consequences, including the current mess in Texas.

One episode of those consequences was the buyout of TXU by private equity firm KKR in 2007. You can read about it here:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-txucorp-takeover-kkr-idUSWNAS203120070226

Not only did that buyout saddle TXU with unsustainable debt (it filed for bankruptcy in 2014), it also led to the cancellation of 8 planned coal fired power plants. It's quite likely those plants, had they been constructed, might have prevented the power outages now being experienced by millions of Texans.

Another episode was the attempted leveraged buyout of electricity distributor Oncor by Elliott Management Corp. in 2017 and its subsequent purchase by Sempra Energy. You can read about those "deals" here:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-oncor-m-a-elliott-idUSKBN19V1JM

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-oncor-m-a-sempra-ener-idUSKCN1B10J2

It's quite likely such high finance shenanigans also left Oncor in a precarious position, and I'd really like to know why Sempra was able to buy it for $9.45 billion when Elliot bid $18.5 billion just a short time before.

And that brings us to what I call "the climate change industry". The 8 cancelled TXU coal fired plants had been opposed by environmental activists, who apparently were quite pleased with the KKR deal. I'm guessing they're still pleased that no one is suggesting they may have played a role in facilitating today's blackout.

But we shouldn't let them off the hook, because they, Wall Street, and Congress plan to enact significant fundamental changes to our power grid in the next couple of decades, as suggested by this report:

Most of the country’s power comes from coal, oil and natural gas - the very fuels driving climate change. The grid of the future will need to be powered primarily by zero-carbon electricity sources, such as solar and wind - and rebuilding the grid from top to bottom, without further disrupting energy supplies, will be a delicate balancing act.

Source - https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2021-02-16/texas-blackouts-california-climate-change

"Delicate balancing act"? In case you haven't been paying attention, Texas wind turbines have been failing in cold weather and solar cells don't work in the dark. When they become the primary electricity sources for the US, you can expect blackouts like what is happening in Texas to become a common occurrence.

The Green New Deal is more likely to destroy the US power grid than it is to save it. If we don't wake up now and stop the Congress-Wall Street-climate change industry triumvirate in its tracks, we'll all live to regret it.

Update - 2/17/2021

Here is a good description of what's been happening on the ground in Texas:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/texas-facing-humanitarian-crisis

Without energy, our entire nation would grind to a halt. Do you really want to trust our energy future to the Biden administration? I certainly don't.

Update - 2/19/2021

I keep reading reports about how Texas failed to winterize/upgrade/update its power-related systems. No doubt this is the case.

But the underlying question of WHY they failed to do these things is not being truthfully answered.

As I point out above, deregulation and the subsequent financial ravaging of the industry left it unable to do such things. They were preoccupied with paying off the debt incurred by the "deals" enabled by Congress and so vigorously pursued by Wall Street.

And at this point, they definitely will not be able to raise the money needed to modernize the grid. That will have to come from the feds, and as Ringo Starr so eloquently observed, "everything government touches turns to crap". Don't expect the climate change industry to change that fact.

Daily Blather - 2/16/2021

Can you believe the gall of these people?

Is Germany Going Nazi Again ???

Here is an interesting report about forced vaccination in Germany. It's a real eye-opener:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/death-master-germany-again/5737331

It's a pretty good bet this violates the Nuremberg Code. You can read about the code here:

https://humansarefree.com/2021/02/mandatory-masks-and-vaccines-break-the-10-points-of-the-nuremburg-code.html

Could this happen here in the US? I would not be surprised. Our technocrats seem to like coercive methods to achieve their goals, and our military appears ready to do whatever they're told.

What Is Extremism ???

I keep seeing this phrase in the MSM:

"Oath Keepers, a far-right extremist group"

As I understand it, the foundational premise of Oath Keepers is to keep this oath which is a constitutional requirement:

Article VI

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ...

So now taking a constitutional oath seriously is "far-right extremism"?

Does that mean Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc. are "far-right extremists", or does it mean their oaths are meaningless?

Another Biden Lie ???

You may think President Biden has cut off US support for the war against Yemen, but his words really haven't made a difference:

Come on, Joe. Wake up and stop the slaughter. I doubt any of your cabinet will do it for you.

Richest Billionaire In Your State

Here's a map showing where US billionaires live:

Do any of these people provide an essential product or service which could NOT be provided by a robust network of small business owners? I doubt it.

The Green Raw Deal

According to this report, the so-called Green New Deal is well underway:

By now, you’ve heard of the Green New Deal, an ambitious agenda to decarbonize the economy. The overall Green New Deal calls for ending the use of oil and natural gas, moving to electric vehicles, solar, wind and geothermal power, imposing carbon taxes to reduce CO2 emissions and providing government subsidies to non-carbon-based energy technologies.

The U.S. would also seek to embed these policies and priorities in new trade treaties and multilateral agreements. President Biden has already begun this process by rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, which actually doesn’t mean much; it’s mostly for show.

The Paris Accord is also a platform for pursuing the Green New Deal.

But it’s difficult to conceive of any other program that would do more harm to the U.S. economy and give more of a boost to the Chinese, Russians and Iranians.

Source - https://dailyreckoning.com/green-new-deal-is-underway/

We're already feeling the effects. The cost of energy is skyrocketing because of the current cold snap:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/power-bills-moon-chaos-shock-electricity-prices-across-us-explode

... and we can expect similar shortages and outages as the Green New Deal replaces carbon-based energy sources with higher priced "green" electricity.

How's the Biden-Harris-Pelosi-Schumer agenda been working for you? I think it sucks.

By the way, wind turbines don't work very well in the cold and ice (and solar cells don't work in the dark):

https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/02/14/historic-winter-storm-freezes-texas-wind-turbines-hampering-electric-generation/4483230001/

And in case you still believe the Green Raw Deal won't be bad for the USA, take a look at this warning from Germany:

Biden's ambitious plan for a "Green Deal" increases the US's dependence on China. The new government has to come up with something if you want to avoid bottlenecks and not go under in the negotiations with Beijing.

Gee, maybe Hunter Biden could be our point man on this.

The Reality Of Measles

Once again, measles appears to have been eradicated in the USA:

Measles outbreaks occur when disease carriers enter from outside the USA. This fact is underreported.

The Wuhan Lab

The WHO apparently has absolved the Wuhan lab from any responsibility for the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps they're right, but what about this circumstantial evidence?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9257413/Secret-bat-cages-Wuhan-lab-researchers-planned-breed-animals-virus-experiments.html

Power and money always seem to win out over truth, and that really sucks.

Morally Responsible ???

Senator Mitch McConnell claims Trump is "practically and morally responsible" for provoking one of the lamest "insurrections" in world history.

Dear Mitch - Please tell me who is morally responsible for these crimes against humanity:

  • firebombing of Dresden
  • atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
  • starving Iraq's children
  • destroying Iraq
  • destroying Libya
  • destroying Syria
  • starving Yemen's children

The US government (all branches) is morally and legally responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern times. So why aren't you and your comrades being held responsible? Maybe this is why:

The United States supported and in many cases engendered every right wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of the Second World War. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador, and, of course, Chile. The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven.

Hundreds of thousands of deaths took place throughout these countries. Did they take place? And are they in all cases attributable to US foreign policy? The answer is yes they did take place and they are attributable to American foreign policy. But you wouldn’t know it.

It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.

I put to you that the United States is without doubt the greatest show on the road. Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be but it is also very clever. As a salesman it is out on its own and its most saleable commodity is self love. It’s a winner. Listen to all American presidents on television say the words, ‘the American people’, as in the sentence, ‘I say to the American people it is time to pray and to defend the rights of the American people and I ask the American people to trust their president in the action he is about to take on behalf of the American people.’

It’s a scintillating stratagem. Language is actually employed to keep thought at bay.

Source - https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2005/pinter/25621-harold-pinter-nobel-lecture-2005/

I urge you to read Pinter's Nobel lecture in full. It isn't often you get to hear the truth about who we are and what our government has been doing.

Almost 55 years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. uttered this warning:

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

We spend even more today on "defense" than we did in his day. And we're no longer approaching spiritual death; we achieved it long ago.

The second impeachment of Donald Trump may appear to be an upwelling of outrage at government misdeeds, but that interpretation would be a mistake. It's merely a papering over of the rot. The swamp has not been drained, and now it probably never will be.

So when you talk about "responsibility", point the finger at yourself. You say this is a "democracy", right? That means we're all responsible. Start acting like it.

Vaccine Efficacy ???

I live in Greene County, Ohio, and I have been watching the local COVID-19 daily statistics for a while.

The case fatality rate had been slowly decreasing for a few months and was a bit less than 1.2 %.

In the past few days, however, it has shot up to 1.5%, an increase of 25%.

And here I though the "vaccine" was supposed to make things better.

Anyone else seen something like this in your locale?

Update - 2/14/2021

And it's still going up. I'll update if and when the case fatality rate finally plateaus.

Greening - Easier Said Than Done

Q: If we permanently "dim the sun", what effect will that have on the generation of energy by solar panels?

A: Who the hell knows? I doubt these clowns know all the possible cumulative effects of their nutty ideas.

Let me reiterate - don't allow these morons to destroy any existing sources of electricity before the replacement facilities are PROVEN to work. This sector of the lunatic fringe has a long history of doing just that, and an equally long history of spending taxpayer money on stuff which doesn't work.

Lots Of Studies

Here is a website showing links to studies concerning the use of Ivermectin to treat COVID-19:

It also has links to similar studies for HCQ, zinc, etc.

A Benefit To Being Palestinian ???

Don't know if this graph is accurate, but consider what it means if it is:


Apparently being walled in helps achieve herd immunity faster than vaccines do.

(h/t Candi Col)

Two Sides To Every Argument

Before we descend into the final nightmare of a unipolar world (i.e., one enforced by cancel culture and one-sided "fact checking"), it's still worthwhile to look at both sides of every argument. Here are two examples:

1. In defense of Donald Trump (horror of horrors !!!):

https://www.globalresearch.ca/defense-donald-trump/5736651

2. The capitol insurrection hoax (no way !!!):

https://www.unz.com/article/capitol-insurrection-hoax-how-our-lying-press-would-have-spun-jan-6-protest-if-trump-were-a-democrat/

By the way, Adolf Hitler was found guilty of treason and thrown in prison following the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. A tad less than 10 years later, he was named chancellor and took over the country.

Are TPTB worried that Trump could stage a similar comeback?

If they are, the best way to prevent it would be to do good things for our country. And "the great reset" isn't one of them.

This Is NOT An Impeachment

Here is a legal definition of "impeach":

The process of charging a public official, such as the U.S. president or a federal judge, with a crime or misconduct, which results in a trial by the senate to determine whether the official should be removed from office.

Source - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/impeach

Does this include removal from future office? Or is "former president" an actual office? If so, is that the justification for this "trial"? I don't think so, but then I'm not a member of SCOTUS (none of whom for some reason are presiding over Trump's second "trial").

Have you read our constitution lately? Take a look and try to find justification for this "trial" if you can:

https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/full-text

The way Trump is being treated looks to me like what a "bill of attainder" does, and that is something the US Constitution forbids. Here is how SCOTUS defined that legal term:

A bill of attainder is 'a legislative act which inflicts punishment without a judicial trial.'

Source - https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/LSB10274.pdf

I would argue this proceeding against Trump is NOT a judicial trial. No justice presides, and according to members of the House and Senate, Trump is not entitled to constitutional protections. Won't this proceeding result in a de facto bill of attainder?

One could argue that Trump is being subjected to the provisions of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

But is he guilty of what that amendment specifies? As far as I can tell, he did not engage in insurrection or rebellion. He did not attempt to "overturn the election" (as is often claimed) or incite anyone else to do so. His claim was that the contested election results of several states had been illegally and/or unconstitutionally achieved and improperly certified. In effect, he was supporting the Constitution of the United States, not engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the same.

But I guess no one is going to believe that now, are they?

Congress is going to do what they're going to do. They know they can get away with just about anything at this point and still have the support of the American people (if you believe what the MSM says).

And since this is not a judicial trial, Trump really cannot appeal. He can try, but what court is going to hear the case?

Hey, I agree that Trump should go. But this is not the way to do it. He's already toast. They should have just let him fade into obscurity. Cancel culture alone would have been sufficient to achieve the desired outcome.

This is persecution. And its end goal appears to be the labelling of all Trump supporters as terrorists, who also can be punished without trial. If that happens, it will be the end of the United States of America.

And ironically, that seems to be exactly what Trump was trying to prevent.

A Contrast

Compare and contrast these two reports:

1. https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-israeli-drug-cured-moderate-to-serious-covid-cases-within-days-hospital/

2. https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/study-finds-forever-chemicals-can-lead-to-severe-covid-19-cases/Z2S24LKBPFEIPEOG67VBYQMEKM/

The first suggests the Israelis are looking for cures, while the second suggests the US is tilting at windmills.

I know for a fact that US universities are ready, willing, and able to conduct studies to determine if existing medications and chemicals can be used to fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus or its effects on the human body. But they appear to be hampered by a lack of funds caused (at least in part) by the Gates Foundation demand that everyone focus on vaccines and vaccine-related schemes.

We are NOT being well served by our medical and scientific communities.

Rivers Of Drivel

Our next Secretary of State said this the other day:

"Whether we like it or not, the world simply does not organize itself."

Source - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/politics/biden-foreign-policy.html

Of course it does, you dumbass.

What you really mean is the world doesn't want to be organized by us. And why would they? Much of what we do is in direct conflict with their best interests. The fact we can bully and bribe them into compliance may hide this fact, but it doesn't make it go away.

The Parallels

Do you see any similarity between these two events and what is happening in the US?

1. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/asia/myanmar-coup-protests-democracy-intl-hnk/index.html

2. https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2021/feb/09/alexei-navalny-how-putin-put-his-biggest-opponent-behind-bars-podcast

I see a direct parallel between the coup in Myanmar and what happened in the 2020 US election.

The fact that alleged US election manipulation has NOT been forensically examined by "the authorities" suggests they don't WANT to know. And these revelations by Time magazine ought to make it clear there WAS a conspiracy to make sure Trump lost:

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/02/05/time-claims-a-secret-cabal-manipulated-the-2020-election-to-stop-trump-and-people-have-questions-n322354

I will agree that people have the right to promote their favorite candidate and thwart the other guy, but when their efforts rely on illegal or unconstitutional means to achieve victory, then I cannot support them. And neither should you.

And it really appears Trump has become the Democrat's version of Navalny, with the sham "impeachment" and ongoing persecution of the former president being their version of Putin's persecution of his detractor.

We're no better than Myanmar or Russia. In fact, if Congress has the authority to "impeach" Trump for an alleged insurrection, then both those countries have a similar right to defend themselves against US meddling in their internal affairs.

An Old Man In A Chair

Here is a discussion of informed consent by Dr. Vernon Coleman:

https://brandnewtube.com/watch/the-evil-deception-giving-the-covid-19-jab-without-informed-consent_Oi53WMcq3RWAfEz.html

We don't stand for a damn thing any more. It's all being torn down in plain sight, with the cackling approval of every major US institution.

Unmasked

I have been reading Andy Ngo's book Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy. I urge you to do the same.

The book documents through eye-witness reporting and extensive documentation what Antifa and BLM have been doing in our cities, activities which apparently are best described as rioting and insurrection.

If what he reports is true, and I see no reason not to believe him, then it's extremely difficult to understand why local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies have refused to take effective action to stop it.

It's also extremely difficult to believe the powers that be (TPTB) aren't intentionally using groups like Antifa and BLM to effect their agenda for the destruction rebuilding of the USA.

Come on, folks. The FBI is aware of what everyone in the US is doing. They have the means and the budget to infiltrate any and all such groups, and it would be extremely naive to believe they haven't done so. Any thinking federal prosecutor could EASILY bring and win a RICO case against these groups, and I think it's very instructive to realize TPTB are never going to pursue such a remedy.

Andy's book also ought to remind you of what Uncle Sam does everywhere else in the world - fund groups which use both peaceful and violent means (whatever it takes) to destabilize governments in the pursuit of US hegemony and corporate profits. The realization this is now happening here, and the extent to which it is being successful, ought to persuade you that if this destabilization continues, then our divided house is going to fall.

Ask yourself why TPTB would permit such a thing, unless it benefits their interests and agenda (e.g., The Great Reset). And don't give me any "social justice" crap, because that has NEVER been their motive anywhere else they have employed such destructive methods.

Here are some related reports for you to consider:

a. TPTB smashed the January 6 "riots" with an iron fist, but apparently now tolerate similar threats from Antifa and BLM. Why the double standard?

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mob-threatens-arson-during-fck-police-march-dc

b. An MSM journo is suggesting we conduct domestic drone strikes against US citizens. Are "white supremacists" really that much of a threat, especially considering how we're still allowing Antifa and BLM to run amok with impunity?

Bankers Rule

You've probably seen this quote which is attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild:

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!"

If you're a true believer, then you should read this essay by Tom Luongo:

https://tomluongo.me/2021/02/05/hail-conquering-central-bankers/

You may have heard the IMF is a supporter of the so-called Green New Deal, but now there is a new global banking consortium called the "Network for Greening the Financial System" which backs it too:

https://www.ngfs.net/en/about-us/membership

Although you may still believe in the quaint notion that federal legislation is drafted by members of Congress and their staffs, openly debated in committee, subject to amendment by your Representative or Senators, and fully read and understood by them before being put to a roll call vote, that's not what happens at all. The bills are written by G-d knows whom, shoved down our collective throats by Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer, and proxy voted by the 535 sock puppets in Congress before anyone knows what's in them. Apparently Congress's level of understanding is usually limited to the talking points handed out to the press corps.

You can bet your ass that bankers are going to have the final say in the thousands of pages of legislation the Biden-Harris-Pelosi-Schumer gang have planned for the next few months, and you better believe it when they tell you you won't lose your job and even if you do it will be easy to just run out and get another one. If you don't agree with them, you're just a conspiracy theorist, an extremist, or worse.

When Money Dies

Update - 2/25/2021

Here is further discussion:

https://gnseconomics.com/2021/02/24/is-hyperinflation-on-the-horizon/

Update - 2/22/2021

Experts are raising the alarm, and I think it's time to take this seriously. Biden is going to spend us into a disaster, and then what will he do?

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/michael-burry-warns-weimar-hyperinflation-coming

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

I have been reading the 1975 book When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson. It describes the hyperinflationary period in central Europe following WWI. It's a shocking tale of misery.

I am struck by the similarities between then and now:

(a) Postwar Germany was saddled with huge reparations obligations by the Treaty of Versailles. Germany's tax base was eroded by industrialists who hid their money overseas, and the German treasury started printing fiat money at breakneck speed to keep the economy afloat. The overall result was hyperinflation which nearly destroyed the country ... and which helped Adolf Hitler come to power.

(b) We in the US face much the same situation. We're saddled with huge debt repayment obligations by the mess Congress has made of our federal budget. Some are clamoring for the imposition of slavery reparations. Our tax base has been eroded by corporations which shipped our industries overseas and which are hiding their huge profits from the US taxman. And the US treasury is printing fiat money at breakneck speed to keep the economy afloat. We haven't seen hyperinflation yet, but can it be that far off?

And in case you hadn't noticed, we're also in the middle of a growing race war in which federal, state, and local police forces appear unwilling or unable to intervene. Is the US version of Adolf Hitler waiting somewhere in the wings for the right moment to make her entrance?

We can quite easily suffer the fate of Germany. All it would take is for someone to strike a match and throw it into the pile of tinder which has been building up for the past several years.

And when our money dies, horrible things will happen.

Triumph Of The US Oligarchs

Here are some timely observations by Angelo Codevilla:

"Either the Constitution matters and must be followed . . . or it is simply a piece of parchment on display at the National Archives." - Texas v. Pennsylvania et al.

Texas v. Pennsylvania et al. did not deny setting rules for the 2020 election contrary to the Constitution. On December 10, 2020, the Supreme Court discounted that. By refusing to interfere as America’s ruling oligarchy serves itself, the court archived what remained of the American republic’s system of equal justice. That much is clear.

In 2021, the laws, customs, and habits of the heart that had defined the American republic since the 18th century are things of the past. Americans’ movements and interactions are under strictures for which no one ever voted. Government disarticulated society by penalizing ordinary social intercourse and precluding the rise of spontaneous opinion therefrom. Together with corporate America, it smothers minds through the mass and social media with relentless, pervasive, identical, and ever-evolving directives. In that way, these oligarchs have proclaimed themselves the arbiters of truth, entitled and obliged to censor whoever disagrees with them as systemically racist, adepts of conspiracy theories.

Source - https://amgreatness.com/2021/01/19/clarity-in-trumps-wake/

In case you had not noticed, US oligarchs have been busy silencing their few remaining critics in the MSM:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fox-news-cancels-lou-dobbs-show-day-after-billion-dollar-smartmatic-lawsuit

And they're also (in effect) starting to censor the US Congress:

https://jonathanturley.org/2021/02/04/youtube-censors-senate-testimony-from-doctor-on-possible-covid-drug/

They'll soon complete their censoring (and censuring) of a former US President:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-impeachment-brief-against-trump-threatens-freedom-of-speech-of-all-americans-dershowitz_3685022.html

And in a short while they're likely to start a wave of persecution of their political enemies (persons formerly known as patriots, but now called terrorists and enemies of the state):

https://summit.news/2021/02/04/cia-counterterror-chief-suggests-gong-to-war-against-domestic-insurgents/

It's somewhat surprising no one has pointed out how this should remind us of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, but then again we've become a nation of cowards who are ruled by bullies. What cowards do best is cower, and what bullies do best is bully.

And not content with merely using the organs of government to destroy rebuild the country in their own image, US oligarchs now want to usurp our former sovereign powers for themselves:

https://apnews.com/article/legislature-legislation-local-governments-nevada-economy-2fa79128a7bf41073c1e9102e8a0e5f0

It's ironic that Vladimir Putin had to warn attendees of a recent WEF conference of the dangers inherent in what Big Tech (the power base of many US oligarchs) is up to. In spite of Putin's sage advice, "our" government appears to have drunk the Kool-Aid and swallowed The Great Reset gibberish hook, line, and sinker.

If you haven't yet figured out where this is headed, I don't think you ever will. You're certainly not going to find the truth in the MSM.

Geez Louise !!!
