Note: Last night I watched the classic bad film Reefer Madness. The review and commentary is behind he green door.
In ordinary times in ordinary countries, the prospect of a vaccine for even a nuisance ailment like the Chicken Pox would be welcome news. After all, one measure of society is the technology to improve human health. In a technologically advanced society, members not only live longer, the quality of life is better. An extra 20 years as a feeble old man is not exactly a reward for a life well-lived. Therefore, the promise of a Covid-19 vaccine next year should be welcome news.
As with everything else, it seems, the news of a possible vaccine just reveals how deranged and bizarre life has become in the West. The majority of Americans are highly skeptical of the vaccine. If people were honest, you would find large majorities unwilling to take the vaccine at all. Even in the medical professions, where faith in their own skill is beyond reality, close to half distrust the vaccine. It does not help that the rulers feel the need wrap the vaccine question in their racial madness.
That is the first gate in the vaccine story. Since few people have the knowledge or aptitude to assess the risk involved in a medical treatment, it comes down to how much they trust their doctor, the drug companies and the system. If your doctor has always been prudent and reliable, then you trust his judgement. If your doctor has an unpronounceable name and looks a lot like the guy working at the convenience store, you are less likely to trust his judgement.
In the case of the vaccine, there is no reason at all to trust the government. They have simply lied too often about too many aspects of this virus. Compounding it is their communications organs have been staffed by demented sociopaths who lie for the sheer pleasure of it. The only way anyone we could trust the media is if they are the first to be inoculated. Even then, it would probably be a fake vaccine, so we would need some way to ensure they are getting the real jab and not a fake.
This is why the vaccine will be mandatory. Another aspect of liberal democracy is the rulers respond to well-founded distrust of them with coercion. In this case, we will be getting the Orwellian freedom passes. In the U.S. they will have some bland bureaucratic name because our managerial elite is functionally illiterate, but the Brits retain their pithiness, despite it all. As a result, these new internal passports proving you are up to date on your Covid jabs will be used to compel compliance.
What does this mean as a practical matter? What they are plotting is a system where everyone is issued an innocuous looking card with a vaccine stamp and date. When you get your booster shot, you get a new stamp with an expiry date. Oh, you are unaware of the regular booster shots required? You see? This is why this vaccine is a miracle. It will require you to give Big Pharma a check several times a year. Your doctor at Acme Hospital System Inc. will also be getting her beak wet.
If you think you can just blow this off, think again. For starters, there will be a massive public relations campaign to shame skeptics. Old people will be shown lining up for the jab and famous people will demand you get the jab. Soon, private business will demand proof of the jab before they accept you as a customer. Want to fly on a commercial airline or ride public transport? Papers please. Want to attend a public event like a sporting match? Papers please.
What this will become is the terms of service for citizenship. In fact, it will probably be baked into terms of service edicts. If you want to use Netflix you will have to prove you are up to date on your jabs. Of course, Big Tech will be there to make this simpler with tracking software for your now mandatory smart phone. That paper card they will be issuing will be replaced with an app for your phone that will be required if you want to function like what passes as a normal adult.
If this sounds a lot like fascism, you would be right. This idea vexes the anti-Semites and neo-Nazis, because they demand fascism only mean cool uniforms and camps for people they don’t like. In this age, it will mean dreary clothing styles and camps for the people the managerial class does not like. It’s also going to mean the implementation of technology to control every movement of the population. You cannot organize a proper resistance if you cannot organize at all.
One novel aspect of managerial fascism is the promotion of cranks and kooks to discredit legitimate opposition. Over the next six months, the media will promote kooks insisting that the vaccine is a mind control devise or that it alters your DNA in order to make you docile and compliant. These paranoids will be promoted, because most people will dismiss them. This tarnishes all resistance to the new regime. It is a tool of managerial fascism that works every time.
What the Covid-19 panic has revealed, and continues to reveal, is the managerial elite has no respect for things like the rule of law, individual liberty or any of the other foundation items of consensual government. To protect democracy, they will rig the election process. To keep us free they will strip us of our rights. In the name of inclusion and diversity they will exclude anyone who disagrees. What we are seeing is that the real plague on our society is the ruling class.

I don’t know. I am shocked by the number of normies who are super excited about a vaccine. I can’t hear tell you how often I hear can’t wait for the vaccine so we can get back to normal. I don’t know what world these people are living on but they’re my neighbors
Yeah, it’s a goddamn fantasy land out there. It really is, I just want to smack these people about, quite honestly. The weakness and fragility is epic. But the more that the lie is repeated, the more the gullible will fall for it.
It is like dealing with children.
If the people were adults rather than children, they would not be susceptible to such nonsense.
It’s not too wide of the mark to say that “America” is the largest nursery school in history.
Escapism has become the national past time. The same people chanting that we have to vote harder are saying we have to trust harder.
I am having a very hard time trusting even sources that I once considered solid. As a rule of thumb it seems that individual bloggers at least aren’t hampered by editors and other officials getting them to toe the line. Of course they can be de-platformed. Another good rule of thumb is whether the subject is heavily politicized. Sort of why the Wikipedia entry on aero-elasticity is no doubt much more trustworthy than the one on FDR. Peter Hitchens, even though The Mail on Sunday is compromised on many things still seems solid on most topics he is allowed to… Read more »
you piqued my interest, so I checked.
Wikipedia DOES NOT HAVE an article on aero-elasticity.
but there is this…
“The use of carbon-fibre lay-ups, designed to reduce aero-elasticity of wings, has allowed CFRP gliders to be designed to cruise at much higher speeds than those with wings made from fibreglass”.
(aero-elasticity is the fluttering of rigid wings, due to turbulence in the air stream, exacerbated by inadequate structural stiffness).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroelasticity
My spelling mistake. Fill your boots.
it does have an entry, but its all one word, no dash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroelasticity
Damn Hyphens!
Oh, look!
they cover hydro-elastricity also.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelasticity
I’ve been on quite a few boats that vibrate when they get above a certain speed.
Isn’t “Trust Hard” the name of the new Bruce Willis movie?
I think a big part of the escapism is really just “If you I do what you want will you please piss off and leave me alone?”
I mean, they won’t, but that’s what the hope is. Our new global anthem should be _Let’s All Make Believe_ by Oasis
I may end up finding one of those doctors with the unpronounceable name. You know, the kind that would okay 19 year olds medical marijuana cards for glaucoma. You don’t think Dr. Serengapatam won’t be happy to take $50 or your insurance money and then sell his now spare dose to someone else. Like the masks, there are advantages and disadvantages to the new clown world paradigm.
In the same way women used to try to find shady doctors to perform abortions, we’ll recruit shady doctors to fake vaccinations.
Ironically, the problem is it will be arguably more legally dangerous for the shady vaccine doctors.
Fake vax will only work until they roll out some kind of dye that glows under a combination of wavelengths or nanoscale biochips that work like miniature RFID tags.
Same with the cards. Cheesy paper cards are for quick rollout and rapid conditioning of the rubes.
They are feverishly working on adapting chip-based cards and a central database to ensure no one can fake the vax card.
Eventually they will be able to code your vax status into the biochip mentioned above.
will the same process work on E-verify?(cackling–)
Ironic – it will be harder to fake the vax than fake the vote.
I know, that is by design.
These quacks have more to lose than you do and their avarice is legendary. They get paid AND they can sell off your unused dose?
Clown world wants to import these pretend doctors, I’ll use them to pretend to comply.
They’re going to be reimbursed by the dose administered.
Each vial or dose will be barcoded to ensure “product integrity”.
For our safety.
That’s fine. Chuck it in the trash can Dr. Arapaiamanesh and put the number down on my travel doc.
Systems, like anything else built by humans, are easier to circumvent or destroy than they are to build or maintain.
If you find one, lemme know. I fear it will be much more than $50 to escape being branded with The Mark.
A gift and a threat go further than just a gift. So I’ve heard.
Exactly. There’s also an opportunity for the forgers that sell docs to the illegals. Growth industries.
There is no “after covid”.
This is the new normal.
The cards are really on the table when the political elite are officially allowed to gather, party and so forth while the plebes will still be distancing and masking. They will make this law because necessity.
Doctor, what are your current beliefs on the seriousness of covid and the efficacy of masks and lockdowns?
If you were medical dictator, what would you do?
A society of Cyphers. “Just put me back in the matrix…” These are the same people who complain about the wuhan getting politicized as they call for moar coercive gubmint regulations to help rationalize their fear feelz. The growing “great divide” is becoming less metaphor and more of a reality every day. The big jab in the arm for all of us will be in having to come to terms with the facf that people close to us are choosing the gubmint issue “juicy steak” and that in doing so they not only exist in a different reality but that… Read more »
A few hours after an extended family chat on Sunday, this reality landed on me hard. They (elder parents, sibling and their kids) are irretrievable. And worse, they become enemy combatants when things get hard. I’m still wrestling with how that’s going to play out. It’s good we don’t live near each other.
It all comes down to trust. We don’t trust the media or politicians or these so-called experts and they do.
If you trust these people and believe what they say, your neighbor’s attitude makes perfect reasonable sense.
Trust is the covid divide.
After the couplection, how could anybody trust anything issuing from the Power Structure?
It will all work to our advantage the first time—after vaccines become freely available—masks and lockdowns are required for the “season”. At which point the normies (some anyway) will see they’ve been played.
They aren’t excited about the vaccine per se, they’re excited about the return to normalcy. The vaccine has more or less ended the justification for masks and lockdowns.
We’ll see. I think some people will actually want to keep wearing the face diapers to feel “safe”.
No. It will be “I got vaccinated for me. I wear a mask for you.” Meaning – wear your damn mask!
The government relinquishing control, or a program, seems the way of unicorns.
Ill believe the government relinquishing control when I see it, too. That said, my point is strictly that normies want a return to normalcy and the vaccine will likely provide it.
That’s what I’m seeing too. Normies are super excited about there being a vaccine out there. I think it’s important though to not touch the third rail of conspiracy theory stuff – and start talking about things like sterilization. There’s more than adequate and indisputable information out there to inject a high level of distrust into the typical normie head. I usually do something like the following: ” you know …. this vaccine was rushed into production. It usually takes something like ten years to get a new vaccine fully tested and into full human use – this one is… Read more »
Are you kidding? Screw the Normies. Let them go ahead and take the vaccine. The best thing we have going is this thing’s probably a disaster and people are going to start having really severe symptoms and and then something else unpredictable will happen but let them go first. More of them the better. It leaves less vaccine for you and me
Mi General!
No – I’m not kidding. But I totally agree with what you’re saying: the more normies take the vaccine and then end up dead because of it – the better it is for me. But…………. I also think that is a bit of a sensitive line to balance – you need to have a sufficient population of idiots willing to off themselves – as well as a sufficient population of people willing to push back on the whole thing once the die off starts. What I think trolling normies like I’m suggesting is doing – is giving a shove to… Read more »
Calsdad- I am a nurse at a large hospital in the US. Lots and lots of research going on here with regard to COVID, the vaccine, etc. I do not know a single nurse who wants this vaccine right now, if ever. It is critical that we steer clear of conspiracy theories. There is an abundance of reasons for people to refuse this vaccine. When people ask my opinion, I talk about: How hard the scientists have worked to create the vaccine BUT a year ago, few even knew about this virus and it takes YEARS to know how drugs/vaccines… Read more »
In rural Canada, there are alot of pissed off-looking white guys. And they just seem different now… very quiet, determined, and ready (but we don’t know for what). A different attitude than the ignorant sportspuck redneck one that was so common before.
How much resistance will happen? I’d imagine our 3rd world doctors could be easy to bribe. And some churches will try to resist the mandatory vax. Anyways, it seems like Alex Jones and co. (Or maybe the book of Revelation) were right all along.
I notice the same grim determination in areas of the States. Everyone senses a showdown is coming.
It’s like the old Bushido code is new again: we are already dead. What now?
*Buzhedo
I laugh as I write this but it seems given enough time Alex Jones is proven right about most things.
People will get fake vaccination cards so they’re going to do the MARK OF THE BEAST eventually: Revelation 13:16-17 KJV 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The First Lady Of Country Music: Tammy Wynette
Just yesterday our lefty neighbors were complaining/ridiculing that citizens of our deep red state would riot if we were mandated to “lock down”. My husband responded with “but don’t you remember that ‘silence is violence’?”
It won’t happen, of course, but it would be hilarious if Obama, Bush and Clinton did take an actual vaccine on national television and fell to the floor, wreathing in agony before they were taken to a Bethesda care facility for the remainder of their worthless lives. On a more serious note, if the vaccine kills or maims people, expect targeted assassinations to become wildly popular. They probably would be anyhow, but this would increase the appetite for them. Non-astroturfed riots and violence will ensue immediately if this vaccine proves fatal or harmful. Let’s hope the “right” areas of cities… Read more »
I saw that they are already reporting a fair amount of adverse reactions in Great Britain already and they started vaccinations yesterday.
Good Lord. It will end in mass violence if people start to lose their children.
Adverse effects of the vac will be treated like election fraud. The media and the bureaucracy will stamp it out as conspiracy. While pharma has long had immunity from damages, the gubmint will on occasion compensate someone or their family. This practice may have to increase. Whats a few more prints? I can also see how it would dovetail nicely with UBI just as medicaid or SSI “disability” does. What will be a interesting to watch – and perhaps provide an opportunity for our side to stoke division and disruption, is the “intersectionality” of the wuhan pox and poc victim… Read more »
All I can say is thank God this is disproportionally killing men. According to some statistics (yeah, I know) you could almost call this a man’s disease. Nobody really cares. Were it killing even a slightly higher percentage of women than men we would never hear the end of it. There would be endless girl-power, save the girls, strong girl survivor… signs, drives, commercials, billboards, etc. We already get enough Lookee-Me-Me-Me women shit in this society to gag an elephant.
Was it that traitorous twit Piers Morgan who took an actual flu shot live on tv then got sick a few days later? Haha. They’ll never leave something like that to chance again.
I can see personal grocery shoppers as a growth industry (there’s always opportunity in war!) since that activity is one of the true necessities that will probably be targeted as verboten for those not having a “Freedom Card”. Evil bastards.
I had a similar reaction to that announcement, only in my version, the three fall to the floor writhing in agony and then lying still for a couple of beats, then jump up laughing and say “psyche!”
These people are just too serious. We need a president with a sense of humor, now that the tv comedians have lost theirs.
Trump, bitches!
No one believes senior politicos will get this vaccine.
Their staffs/visitors are screened, they don’t go out in public with the great unwashed, and they get top notch medical care at Bethesda with Drs who’s names end in “-stein”.
I’ll believe it when one of them dies from vaccine complications.
How the fudge is it that only Trump’s close allies are getting infected?
Because the actual transmission of a sufficient load of virii to infect someone is hard to do, and it helps if the intended victim is an “at-risk person”.
The September Florida Co-vid deaths (149 for the whole state) had a median age of 83. That is, as many older than that as younger.
A recent N.J. study of two hospitals with high Co-vid death rates showed that of those who died, over 80% had Do Not Resuscitate orders in place. That is, they already knew that they were dying BEFORE they got the Wu-flu.

Heh. Covid again. We had an electrician come in to do our PAT testing, and I was speaking to him about this. He seemed to agree that it was all an overreaction but then fell back on the old crux of ‘well, it _is_ real, I have a friend who knows someone who died of it.’ I countered with the epic suspension of freedoms we use to have (remember when you could get together with all family members at Christmas?)… his response was ‘tell that to someone who can’t breath.’. I would never dream of crushing other peoples freedoms or… Read more »
Them: “Tell that to someone that can’t breath”
Me: “You mean like George Floyd?”
That knocks them off their high horse usually.
Ha. I’d love to have played that card, but I was foolish even broaching the subject to begin with. The work environment may not be too appreciative.
“I can’t breathe”
Anyone want to talk about the anaphylactic reaction some of the vaccine test subjects are having?
Looks like the Epipen sales are going to go through the roof…
Reminds me of the chemistry teacher in NoVA who was recently suspended after asking a question about the element with atomic number of 10, along with the hint: ““George Floyd couldn’t breathe because a police officer put his ____ George’s neck”
Answer: neon
I think you and I know the same electrician. He came onto my property about six months ago to do a job OUTSIDE…and wore a mask. I told him he didn’t have to wear a mask for me and that I preferred he not wear a mask on my property. We’ve known each other for a decade, yet he insisted on wearing it. We parted company on less than good terms and I don’t plan on hiring him again.
what is PAT testing?
At work we have an electro-mechanical model of Pat Buchanan that walks around the office reciting some of Pat’s gems from days gone by. Need to make sure he’s working.
In the UK, PAT testing is ‘Portable Appliance Testing’, got to do it on all the laptops, adapters etc.
Every office,hell, every public space needs a PAT walking around spouting truisms.
Count me in as a vaccine skeptic. Mass governor Charlie Parker err… Baker, in his presser closing the state back down yesterday told a story about two couples who were supposed to be meeting at a restaurant for dinner, but the outdoor seating was full. One couple, Charlie’s pals, made the decision not to go inside, leading to an acrimonious parting. Well, the couple who went inside…wait for it… tested positive for COVID! I don’t know if he opened up for questions, but mine would have been- “Are these people actually sick?” And “could we have the contact info for… Read more »
Charlie Parker aka Too Tall Deval.
Heh. The wife used to work in a fast food joint. She loved it. Hard work but good camaraderie. The thing with the vaccine is: don’t force me. I don’t like being forced to do things for threats that are invisible to me. I’ll take my chances. Problem is, as we all know, when the democracy is voted for and staffed by children we get dragged along in the current. This is why focusing on a simpler, less consumer driven life and adopting the mental mindset of scarcity is so important. It is the first step and can save you… Read more »

I met up with college and old friends over the weekend; both engineers. Both were very excited about a vaccine rolling out. I asked if they found it odd that a vaccine, something that usually takes years to work out all the kinks and make sure side effects aren’t worse than what you’re trying to cure, went from concept to deployed in under a year. Would he sign off on a bridge design that normally would take several years of construction but was built in six months? Would the other trust a database that had been allowed to skip the… Read more »
I am always reminded of the saying (Z will remember by who) that all wars could be avoided with the judicious killing of just 100 people.
The mossy oak militia adds conscripts every day as the unemployment lines grow.
Dont expect any sympathy from the 80 million Trump voters when CNN announces that an armed mob overan the NY Times headquarters, shot it up, burned it, and left no one alive.
Don’t expect sympathy if a 9/11-type event happens, either. Expect a combination of skepticism and glee.
heh. I laughed when some CNN cockroach said something like “Trump’s refusal to concede is going to cause another 9/11!”
NYC had the sympathy of us all on that day. Now, when it happens again, I’m rooting for Mohammed. He is but the lesser of the enemies attacking us. If it weren’t for the globalist vermin in NYC (alas, metastasizing into the rest of the country as the filthy creatures flee their fouled nest) , we wouldn’t have an Islamic problem at all.
It wasn’t Mohammad; to the contrary, it was Moshe.
sure it was. retard.
How are things in Tel Aviv, jewboy Kosher?
Yeah, sympathy is the very last thing I would feel.
Muslims have no hesitancy when it come to this type of thing. The Charlie Hebdo shooting was over some stupid cartoons. As a result, they are pretty much left alone.
That saying comes from this classic:
The Pig Trap

The taxi driver’s passenger, an ‘executive security’ honcho:
“These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”
Excellent link, thanks.
You do not have to pass a law to make something illegal. I am glad that you nicely articulate my views – that the vaccine will be mandatory to do anything. There will be no law (probably), just soft tyranny. For those who are concerned about the technical side of the vaccine, those will never be addressed by media. As you articulate, certainly they will parade kooks to discredit any reasonable objection (in the same way Flat Earthers are used to discredit anyone who believes in elite collusion).

Also, the nanolipids that are used to protect the mRNA as injected are not being studied at all for safety. If I am not mistake, they are trademarked secrets that we cattle are not even allowed to know about. This reminds me of the Roundup issue. It wasn’t so much the glyphosate that was dangerous; it was equally the solvent that allowed the chemical to penetrate the waxy layer around the leaf. But since the solvents were listed as ‘inactive ingrediants’, no study of their safety was ever done, and glyphosate was approved by studying it in isolation, not the… Read more »
Reminds me of 5G. A read a fairly reasoned piece where the author said that it might be possible that 5G radiation is bad for the eyes, basically baking the delicate tissue there since it is not nearly as robust a barrier as skin. I went looking and could find…nothing, no one even bothered to check. I suppose when people start getting eye surgeries 10 years earlier it will be just “one of those things” or they’ll blame it on the hole in the ozone.
If true, China will get there first.
US 5G is a joke. China installing stations at something like 100 or 1000 to one compared to the US.

After “Theranos” anything is possible. (Did anyone go to jail for that particular scam?)
I thought Elizabeth Holmes and her pet wog both did?
The Theranos idea is interesting and I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes reality at some point in the next few decades, but that entire debacle illustrates just how gullible the elites are that run our country/world. There’s surely a lesson for dissidents in there, a blueprint for the Trojan Horse that gets us behind the levers of power.
Anyone who states even factual objections will be labeled a “kook.” It really shouldn’t be a factor in one’s decisions. Increasingly it appears both Beijing and their puppets in D.C. introduced this virus intentionally into the United States. Of course, such speculation is “kooky” until it isn’t, then it becomes “dangerous.” About the latter, they are correct.
Chinese spies are very imbedded in the US system. This cute little honey trap named Christine Fang was sleeping with Eric Swalwell and a bunch of other so-far unnamed elected official including an Ohio mayor. Seems like they just shipped her around the country to compromise weak men.
Remember all those Confucius Institutes?
Sharing Chinese culture and studying for degrees were never the real goals.
The real goals were studying Western society for weak points and relaying any valuable info to the motherland.
How hard could it have been to sink her fangs into a pedoface like Swallow-well?
They don’t need laws.
They can dump the enforcement burden on private businesses and make examples of resisters one-by-one.
Not even enforcement, just free market. The hammer and anvil of public-private joint-venture control over “the market” assures that the prole consumer buys product, buys license to buy different product, or pays tax to defer buying of product until later. Free market has many choices for consumer. “Private” health insurance providers will simply price-in the not-mandatory vaccine. Gubmint subsidizes cost of vax to bake in profit to them and they pass that on to us in the form of “free” covered vax. Gubmint backstops vax badness for both pharma and insurance. Meanwhile if you don’t vax, congratulations your premium is… Read more »
It is funny that the places where I see the most rebellion against masks are places heavy in farmers and ag workers — the livestock auction, the feed store, etc. And it includes a really high percentage of older farmers who are in higher-risk categories.
I suspect there be a fair number of vaccine rebels in that group, too.
I’m noticing the same thing in my area.
If anybody understands pandemics, herd immunity, hygiene, supplements, and vaccination, it’d be cattlemen. Tell ’em about treating the herd for pinkeye.
Yup.
The entire mask and vax hysteria is based on normie ignorance about viral transmission.
Less topical, but also ask the farmers about monoculture. If we’re going to become Kalergi’s mud blob to end racism, that- monoversity- violates Mother Nature’s iron law.
In a monoculture wheat field, one blight, plague, or rust will kill the entire field.
Talk to a Kindergarten teacher when it comes to conjunctivitis.
I’m one of those older farmer types and I can tell you that my cohort doesn’t buy the BS. Probably because we’ve had lifelong harassment from the EPA and other agencies. And the agencies just show up, drive onto your property without permission, investigate whatever and put you through hell with fines. Since the Obama years, the agencies are diversity staffed–full of the clueless, radical and resentful.
We’re getting a similar issue in Australia with African and Middle Eastern health inspectors that will actually make stuff up to justify their positions.
Not far from the mark. Way back when, I worked in a factory on the production line. We were told that OSHA was coming by for inspection. We were cleaning up the various “messes” that would get us crosswise with the Fed’s, when the production manager told me to leave what I was straightening out alone. I later found out that there were several instances of such minor “violations” than were *always* left for OSHA to “find”. This was because OSHA always dug deeper and deeper to find something to cite in any inspection. Give them a few minor violations… Read more »
I like your production manager’s thinking. We can use that sort of thing going forward in Our cause. Hide in plain sight. Bait and switch. Diversion. I’ve been studying up on British deception operations in the world wars as a lark. Such a clever bunch. It’s hard, as a man that tries to be truthful, to think like that. Alas, we may have to become adepts.
When I worked in a butcher shop, the idea was to leave a couple of obvious but meaningless violations in plain sight. The inspector would write them up, call it a day at that point, we would fix them, and everyone went their merry way. They would dig until they found something, so give them something easy and meaningless to find. Not posting all the required health/employment posters was an easy one.
Why does it not surprise me that the government does random things to make food production more difficult.
Random? They came out with an entirely new set of rules, the Food Safety Modernization Act, a few years ago that greatly enhanced their ability to shut down your place of work. They no longer have to find evidence of product adulteration, they merely have to posit that you were producing under conditions that might have led to adulteration, a completely subjective conclusion.
“Since the Obama years, the agencies are diversity staffed–full of the clueless, radical and resentful—mediocrities!”
There, fixed it for you.
Thank you.
At least Toad Tossing is a thing of the past, amirite?
You are not kidding. In my business dealing with the strength that is empowered diversity is a major problem. And it seems, like TV commercials, wall to wall diversity. I shudder to calculate the cost in manpower hours to these low IQ BIPOC, I mean POX.
This is going to be the death knell of the travel and leisure industry. Which is what our rulers probably want.
Exactly. Travel limits are the totalitarian wet dream. We may get a wall at the southern border after all, but it won’t be to keep people out.
Well sure. They’re tired of having all the pretty places filled up with ugly people. Now they won’t have to worry about the hoi polloi messing up their View.
That’s right.
Why should Brad Pitt have to stumble over us plebes in St. Tropez every summer?

That’s ok – let him pay quadruple for his trips.
Wasn’t Harry Reid overheard complaining about having “to smell the tourists” lining up to see the US Capital Building. Years ago I remember reading about the well heeled growing tired of lower class day trippers crowding up Aspen.

Intentional or not, every rule an reg in California has the effect of driving up home prices so they become ever farther out of reach for the dirt people
In Cali it’s blatant class warfare. Home prices go out of sight while middle-class residences are turned into high-density worker ghettoes.
They might outlaw beef but never the concept of the cattle ranch.
They’ll keep the ghettos for their pets but live in sprawling Hearst style estates. We kept thinking the Reconquisda would be driven by hordes of illegal Mexican peasants. Actually, it’ll be the return of the Old Spanish Californios noblemen… they’ll just have yid and Punjabi sounding names this time.
The rulings in California and NY serve one purpose. Drive the existing population into surrounding states so they act like a spreading infection. They are well aware that these people are the same twats that welcomed in all the reality denying BS and will promptly go and vote in the same people that caused them to leave in the first place because feelings. They are nothing but locus of infections in the same way universities are. Cuomo and the others don’t give a shit if the city become a smoking ruin. It will spread the poz plague and that is… Read more »
Right. Its these same vermin that have marred the rural production areas of California with endless wind turbines but squashed the ones proposed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. The culling cannot come soon enough.
I have no idea what you mean. I have, however made sure to get rid of all cullottes from the homestead…
Definitely. The cloud people despise the fact that all of the cool, interesting places on earth are easily accessible to middle class travelers. That’s all going to come to an end. Can everyone here believe that just a year ago we were all significantly freer than we are now, and most of the population is simply going along with it? I knew most people were sheep, but only when it’s in your face every day is one overwhelmed by the realization that our society is built on sand and the high tide is rolling in fast. And why the rush… Read more »

Most people don’t like walking more than a half a mile from their car. Any tourist hotspot has a big clump of people near the cars or bus/train station.Walk for more than 10 minutes and you’re free of the madding crowd.
Damn, no more basic bitches who say “travelling is my personality” on their tinder bios.
In seriousness though – upper middle class shitlibs hit the hardest by retarded measures, as usual. They’re gonna find out real fast that they are NOT part of the elites (I’m sure they’ll rationalize it though).
So long as they have a way to identify with the elite/aggressor—by consuming what they’re told, by relishing tales of hurt done to loser-class Americans—they’ll think they’re in on it.
We’ve seen them celebrate when tech & finance ban normie-cons, when 130 IQ farm boys are quota-ed out of the good schools, etc. They feel themselves doing it.
Dammit! So close- the dream is to make a check, hit the airport in whatever city I’m in, throw a dart at the map, buy a ticket, and just GO.
I was finally this close, dammit dammit dammitall, man!

Brings to mind the grocery store with all the fancy bar code readers etc. You get a Latina girl in there flustered by a flood of multiple items and she can’t keep up and ends up letting things slide through and giving you things without ringing them up.
Good point B125. You say I may see an end to the endless girl-news stories about how “she is traveling in her converted school bus” (or towing her tiny house). “Alone with her dog, a roadtrip discovering herself across this great nation…”
Yeah but that will also do away with the truly uplifting & hysterical ones about how she and her life partner got decapitated because they thought biking through Turkey was a strong play. Cannot stop laughing whenever I hear those.
Somebody hasn’t taken their mandatory virtual vacation to the Maldives. An Amazon Travel Experience Concierge has been dispatched to your location to help facilitate your many happy memories.

It will be like the “housing bubble,” where the same people who allowed/created the problem scoop up properties for pennies on the dollar. Cycle. Rinse. Repeat. Wealth transfer upward accomplished.
Was in Newport, RI with wife. Pointed out mansion row, and that those people snapped up distressed properties galore during “the Great Depression”.
We’re already in the early stages of a covidian dystopian nightmare – people are going bonkers and will gladly clamor for the jab while obediently continuing to wear their face rags. It’ll be solidified pretty much forever if we don’t deviate from this highway to hell. God help us.

The ‘dream’ of 1984 was that the totalitarians had finally found the “secret sauce” to perpetuate their oppressive system indefinitely, which is unrealistic, fortunately. Part of the reason we’re even in this mess is that even an oppressive place like China cannot get their people to stop eating bush-meat or use semi-modern animal husbandry techniques.
“Part of the reason”… The other part is that the Wuflu virus just might have been weaponized with “never happen in nature” aids-like grafts into the virus, which is what some Indian researchers claimed early on, before they were shut down and non-personed. These days, given all the controls over the permitted narrative, I am not ruling it out.
Since Fauci owns 4 patents on the damned virus, and directed the building of and research at the Wuhan lab, “weaponized” is a certainty.
They were eating bats from a cave 900 miles away in winter? Pangolins?

They started eating bats in China cuz Mao starved them.
The Daily Mail had a article a few days ago about how the Pfizer CEO isn’t even sure it prevents transmission of the virus. Yet they are positive about the effectiveness of the vaccine against adverse affects of the virus. I asked my libtard brother how it was possible that a vaccine could have one property without the other- it would make it the first vaccine in human history to prevent death but allow transmission. He had a bizarre theory about it being a mrna vaccine, but I think occum’s razor suggests the opposite. The simplest explanation is it just… Read more »
It is possible to still carry and therefore transmit a virus after being vaccinated for it. For example, the seasonal flu shot is about 40-60% effective. You get the shot, but your immune system does not respond or does not create the memory cells that produce the antigen. The evidence to date says the mRNA vaccine does not last very long. They are talking about people needing booster shots every six months. If the vaccine is not 95% effective, which almost a guarantee, then we will have half the vaccinated not actually immunized and some percentage of the formerly immunized… Read more »
I had Coronavirus back in March/April; I had virtually no symptoms .. I felt like I was coming down with a cold for about six hours one day, then it subsided. My wife had a moderate fever for ten days, stepson had mild/moderate pneumomia on and off for a few months. Neither was hospitalized. Both tested positive via nasal swab (in April). Both had weird sense of taste & smell (still do, nine months later). I’ve had nasal swabs and blood tests since early August (couldn’t get unrelated medical care without being tested), nasal swabs always negative, blood antibody tests… Read more »
I expect that the vaccine will have a higher mortality rate than the virus did.
Yeah they will true-up those corona deaths one way or the other.
The rushed flu vaccine of 1976. Read about it. I would love to see this blow up in their faces with class action lawsuits.
They may indemnify the makers through some Congressional action. Let’s not forget our legislators are whores for the most part.
An ersatz example: you can discharge debt through bankruptcy but you cannot discharge your student loan. Something along those lines.
The Congressional backstopping was in place before vaccine development got underway. RFK’s campaign against forced vaccination has real merit. The very first value-added activity for his bloodline.
This is OT, but it used to be the case that student loans could be discharged in bankruptcy. It was so abused that the law was changed. (Back in the 70s/80s there was a point where the entire Boston City Council were defaulters.)
Yeah, several young recruits in basic training had their lives destroyed by it. Of course their families were screwed over by the pentagram.
They made sure to get exemption from all liability though. They know they won’t be punished for their crimes.
Won’t. Can’t. Big pharma generally immune to lawsuits stemming from vaccines.
Pharma gets the profits when they develop/sell it; taxpayers fund the payouts when they F up. Isn’t it fun to write the laws?
Normal vaccines are covered by Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. (NVICP). Payouts courtesy of the US Taxpayer.
Covid Vaccines covered by similar program: Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) – much the same; taxpayer funded, big pharma immune.
Interesting reading available on US Gov HRSA site.
You see the slip and fall shysters on TV every day. They are licking their chops over this “vaccine.”
A class action lawsuit.
This touching belief in the law, this pure and simple faith in rules.
How sweet.
This will no doubt happen after SCOTUS demands and rules a recount in the swing states.
A case SCOTUS will refuse to hear on procedural grounds, with no dissent, 9-0.
I’ve just realized Law is our Stalin.

I’m certain the side effect will be on fertility. The Gates family passion is population reduction.
We don’t even know what the true mortality rate is – it’s all been corrupted by the fact that hospitals are getting paid to check off Covid-19 on the reason for death.
Even the mainstream news though can’t get around telling some tidbits of truth that should really make you question what is going on. For instance – I have noticed multiple newscasts over the last few weeks where the ” Average age of Covid deaths is 81″ is quickly scrolled by on the lower panel.
You don’t really seem them expounding on that little fact very much though.
And the average lifespan in the US is, what, 77 or 78?
I think it’s something like 78.4 – it is different for men and women. Point is – the AVERAGE age of death – is 81. You can also go look at the population distribution by age – and the numbers are very heavily weighted towards younger people. So …. when you factor that in as well to how that 81 years old average could have been calculated – it shows pretty clearly that there is very little risk amongst the younger age groups. If you also factor in that many of those deaths attributed to Cornholeya virus were likely because… Read more »
I was agreeing with you, BTW.
Yep. And it won’t even be close. Of course, that will be a censored hatefact.
Btw, I knew several people who died;
an elderly mother of an acquaintance.
a 4th-stage bone cancer victim, shunted between hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice.
two bar owners late 60s- early 70s, unknown if they had comorbidities.
neighbor’s brother in California.
Another piece of the puzzle to consider – is that I have seen evaluations done of the overall death rate – and what they found is that the expected overall death rate – has not budged. In other words – there doesn’t appear to be any “extra” deaths out there – because of Cornholeya virus. I should probably save this stuff when I run across it – so I can bolster my points. But honestly trying to keep ahead of all the bullshit just gets tiring at times. I run across the articles – read them to see if I’m… Read more »
Sounds like you read that Johns Hopkins study that was spiked. It made a shambles of the notion that a quarter million “Americans” have died of Kovid.
“mild pneumonia”?!
that’s my description of it..
he was prescribed antibiotics and steroids.
A good friend of mine who was in her 50s and healthy caught the disease in March and was sick for six months. She needed to go to the emergency room several times (although she never had to be hospitalized overnight), and still isn’t back to 100%. This isn’t most people’s experience, but it isn’t that rare either. So the disease deserves respect.
It’s literally the flu. If you have never done anything to take precautions for the common flu but want to mess your panties over covid, you are either a moron, a liar, or you have been duped by moronic liars. I know J. Stewart was a fancypants boy, but at least live up to the bravery of your moniker’s namesake and be a man.
So let’s see, who should I believe here: a good friend I’ve know for decades; or some internet rando who tells me it’s “literally the flu”? Who to believe… 🙂
LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS!!!1!!!
You know, the same ones who compulsively lie to us.
The same “experts” that demand we believe that “men” have menstrual periods.
Well, let’s turn your question around, shall we? An acquaintance of mine committed suicide last July. He closed up all the garage doors, started his car, and asphyxiated himself. Death certificate read: COVID-19. The local jail had close to 100 ‘cases’ over the last 9 months. Why, they did super official, brain swabbing ‘tests’ and everything! They quarantined these cons in their own wing. Not a single one was seriously ill, just the usual cough and sniffles you would expect from head colds and the flu. No high fevers, no shortness of breath, no loss of taste and smell. Not… Read more »
Anybody who is concerned that this disease is not being taken seriously – should squarely point the finger of blame at the authorities and ALL of those people who are trying to ride on the back of this virus – to shove their own agendas down people’s throats. The amount of lying going on is truly spectacular. And I spend much more time on this than most people do – reading articles – trying to figure out what is REALLY going on…. etc. Given the potential massive downside to believing the crap coming out of the elites in charge –… Read more »
We’ve got a fraudulent health crisis, just had a fraudulent election and are plagued by a fraudulent media establishment. We live in a simulacrum, not a society.
I find it very interesting that you say your wife and stepson both had a weird sense of taste & smell . I have a toddler in daycare – and last year I think I came down with pretty every single illness known to man because of that exposure. It’s something the pediatrician warned us about, but it was just sort of brutal being sick all … of …. the …. time. One of the last things I caught was some sort of weird cold or flu around mid-November 2019. The thing was – this was obviously some sort of… Read more »
my wife reports that celery tastes like gasoline; as do most foods with fat in them .. butter, cooking oils, cheese.
And people given Tic Tacs they believe is medicine recover fully.
Subjective claims like the gasoline Celery are not terribly convincing in the midst of this War of the Worlds psychological assault.
For a virus with a 99% survival rate.
This ain’t about a virus.
Dec 2: President-elect Biden “This virus will kill 250,000 by January. Because people won’t listen” (paraphrasing, but very close)
That’s one more than Vietnam’s worth of deaths every week for 4 weeks.
Clearly not happening yet…where are the mass graves? Where are the ecstatic adulations of Biden successfully getting us to “listen” and drop the projected deaths?
Something doesn’t add up here. 250k over and above other total US normal death rates is an 11% spike. It would be totally obvious…everyone who be losing a loved one or family member.
Well once you factor in the delousing camps for the dissidents, they may get 50k dead per week.
Who said it’s “over and above”? It’s a matter of difference of which box gets ticked.
The WHO changed the rules back in March. A death certificate (a document that’s been standardized globally, it seems) has two sections. Section one lists the events and actual cause. If Section 2 of the death certificate includes covid, covid killed them according to the new WHO fatwa.
These instructions on how to fill it out in the UK explain the difference .

Yes. That’s the part about “numbers don’t add up here”.
Total death numbers in the US lag about 2-3 years. We won’t truly know how much the deaths “spiked” until at least 2023. If ever.
Because “people aren’t listening” is the perfect excuse. It’s vague, sanctimonious, and impossible to remedy — gov’s sublime triad. They’ll just keep saying that we’re in trouble because we’re “not listening” to them. First, People are indeed listening, often at the cost of their livelihood; second, are they even listening back?
This mRNA technique is experimental and hasn’t been used on humans before. Virus vaccination is usually an injection with a dead or weakened virus, mRNA “vaccine” is injection with some crap they whipped up in the lab, in this case they did it in a huge hurry – 8 months development and testing rather than the usual 10 years for a much simpler “dead virus ” type of jab. https://www.stopthevaccine.com/pg2.htm – look for the summary at bottom of that page. Vaccines are great, but I don’t want this one till everyone in government has tried it for a couple years… Read more »
Is it permitted transmission that meant we would not have to wear a mask anymore and we wouldn’t have to social distance so they can’t have that happen because then we can organize
According to our betters there are and will never be circumstances where we are not required to wear masks or social distance ever again.
For our safety.
What whitney said. If they’re vaccinated, they should be immune and unafraid, right?
But then, I saw the billboard in Albuquerque- some AWFL saying “I wear the mask to protect my little brother with asthma.”
You just don’t CARE enough, do you?
I mean, sure you can; they’re just going to have an electronic record of everyone that attended and everything that was said….
I think we will be lucky if the vaccine does nothing.
What’s more likely, is that the vaccine causes sterilization, or death, or cancer, or something. Perhaps only for certain races. It would likely build up slowly over time, every “booster shot” builds up to eventual infertility.
Or perhaps a 5G microchip. I would not recommend taking this shot if at all possible.
I wouldn’t put any of it past ’em. The Zman is right and makes a great point about us kooks, but he is also far too trusting.
Actually, if it’s just a totalitarian grift, that’ll be the good news.
That’s my suspicion: BigPharma has this, thus far, unused vaccine tech that they’ve wasted buckets of money researching and they finally have an opportunity to cash in on it. The fact that every authority of any sort is just a sock puppet for them makes it easy to pull off.
I’m sure they try but are too incompetent to pull it off.
Stacy for Covid Czar!
There are all kinds of “conspiracy theories”. TPTB will always promote (secretly) the dopiest, so as to discredit them all. For example, Oliver Stone was conned by Fletcher Prouty into incorporating the silliest JFK theory — Jim Garrison’s “rogue homos from the CIA who all lived on one block in New Orleans” — so as to discredit all the others.
It’s always amusing when self-appointed “gatekeepers” ban “conspiracy theories” so that we don’t seem like nuts; yet a majority of Americans endorse skepticism about JFK and 9/11. Whose optics are they concerned with?
What is a 5G microchip, has nanotechnology gotten so advanced that they need something more that the cell phone leash that “everybody” is already carrying?
Is it a mind control device, sorta useless since most people can’t use theirs anyway, or does it reveal our inner thoughts to our overlords?
I remember the panic over swine flu, if I remember 3 people died of it, and 450 died from the vaccine. I can’t be scared of this bug, but I do acknowledge
The best-case scenario is that it simply doesn’t work. I, for one, don’t understand how the mRNA molecules are supposed to find their way to the ribosomes after entering the cell, or how they resulting spike proteins are then to make their way out of the cell and into the bloodstream. My guess is that the mRNA portion will have the same effect saline solution. The more worrisome aspect will be the “adjuvants” and other nonsense they might be adding to stimulate the immune system.
I saw another article from them showing some 91 year old man that got the first jab. Now he can “hug his grandkids.” I’m sure they’re thrilled. His interview was a high level propaganda piece.
But damn it – that’s my goal. At some point we all need to choose a threshold – a Rubicon – that we’re committed to holding. Another Rubicon (coming shortly) will be the move for gun registration. Don’t register your gun? No problem, you can’t have a driver’s license. It’s coming. For those who aren’t anti-fragile, now might be a good time to work on it.
The purpose of UBI, and it coming, is to make most people fragile.
I think this is more a happy side effect than the intent. The economy is in freefall and Keynesian theory needs money to have velocity. Its basically static now and there are no policies that can be implimented that will work to get growth. Its classic Marxist Late Stage Capitalism which is kind of like a monopoly game where one guy owns almost everything. The economy won’t work. As for paying for UBI, it will have to be money printing as there is no tax scheme that can raise enough and any attempt to get more revenue will result in… Read more »
I would argue that the Draconian implementation of the Covidian Rules should be the Rubicon Event, as you suggest. And that should be the trigger for fighting fire with fire. Wouldn’t it be awful if warehouses caught fire and burned down, or transport trailers disappeared overnight, or manufacturing facilities suffered egregious maintenance failures? Incrementalism can work both ways. Near the end of WWII, nearly all German tanks were breaking down regularly because the slave labor building them did very poor work indeed. A careless smoker can be your best friend in the new war against tyranny.
Agree. What’s the point in wearing a Molon Labe hat or holding 2A rallies if the selfsame constituency wears face diapers and lines up for vaccines? I’d be happy if a lot of our people simply took up civil disobedience … at least that’s a tangible start.
So many accidental and awful things could happen. Nice group of Hero’s On The Front Lines Of Healthcare you got there. It would be ashamed if something happened to them. All of them.
You beat a tyranny with a cellular insurgency. As an example, imagine the lone janitor on night shift who everyone thinks is slightly retarded and totally ignores. He has keys and the whole building to himself, and months to determine where the cameras are and are not. And multiple by tens of thousands all over the country. And we’re not even talking about the maintenance men yet. The jackboots can’t lock up everyone and still run a country.
The name of my new dissident band! Love it.
Ancient wisdom. Maintenance men make the best saboteurs. They get invited in, guards have no idea what these guys are doing, and they can time delay any outcome into months after they have left town. Think outside the box. Sometimes being an innocuous peon is the greatest power of all.
For fellow tabletop players, Bone Gnawer Tribe for the win.
That’s why I will never, ever mention the small shed at the bottom of every cell tower, because it’s the air-conditioning to keep those switching boards cool.
It has to stay about 40 degrees, but nobody needs to know that.
The morphic resonance is getting louder. We see the same image, we think the same thought. We achieve multidimensionality by sharing perspectives. The hive becomes the nation. The future looks like us.
I heard a co-worker yesterday declare that he hopes our employer makes the vaccine mandatory. But then we are in Canada, the country founded by the English who ran from freedom, and the French, so it’s not unexpected. Depressing, but no longer surprising.
I thought I was deeply cynical about the sheople in 2019, but this year has shown you can never be cynical enough about how many people will enthusiastically embrace their own slavery.
“the country founded by the English who ran from freedom, and the French, so it’s not unexpected.”: God love the Boomers.
If the US was the Land of Freeeedom we wouldn’t be in this spot.
Everyone should plan on permeating the airwaves with non-stop fear porn of people getting hurt by the vaccine, no matter how implausible the vaccine actually hurt them. Relentlessly saturate social media, tell all your real-life friends, pepper the conversation in the checkout lines. Make it so rampant it drowns out the deboonkers. Make them forcefully silence people and then treat them like martyrs.
This is not the time for facts and reason, or even about being right. It’s the time for scaring the normies about the vaccine just as much as the media has over covid.
I like to open with, “I wonder what the vaccine really does?” to see if anyone takes the bait.
If not, I’ll toss out sterilization/terminal cancer/genetic wasting disease as prompts.
Cornell U. is exempting “students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC)” from their mandatory vaccine requirement. Pfizer (!) has warned pregnant and breastfeeding women against taking the vaccine. So much for “mandatory.”
One of the advantages of clown-world is the easy ability to circumvent dumb restrictions.
This is what they are going to try to do with guns as well. There will almost certainly not be any kind of attempted national confiscation that would set off a civil war, at least not for another couple of decades. What will happen is that there will be a huge effort to make gun ownership difficult, expensive, and stigmatized, the Tobacco strategy” if you will. Of course, the NRA still exists, and can be counted on to fight this every step of the way – no such organization exists with regard to Covid – yet.
They will just ramp taxes and fees on guns and ammo to the point they are prohibitively expensive.
Examples will be made under the new tax laws, neatly side-stepping the 2A.
All they have to do is make a law that any use of a gun by non Authority is illegal. So you shoot and kill someone in self-defense breaking into your home you still committed murder
I think you are both right. One, make gun insurance a requirement, and make it prohibitively expensive. Two, make it illegal (in practice) to use it. Just see those who tried to defend themselves again Antifa types. I care not what the law says, I care about the Soros funded DA that prosecutes.
Yes, in most places in Red states you are still pretty much OK using a firearm in self-defense, but make sure that you stay out of the blue cities (stay out of those anyway, for oh so many reasons). Look at that poor bastard in Omaha, persecuted unto suicide for shooting a drug addict attacking him. It doesn’t get much redder than Nebraska, but Omaha has lots of blacks, and lots of democrats, so… That’s why the guy who calls himself “Anti-Dem” is right; who your local sheriff and Chief of Police are is a lot more important than who… Read more »
If said intruder is non-White, that’s already the ‘law.’ In the UK people are not allowed to be unkind to the gypsies (the real ones, brown people descended from Indians who are illegal immigrants) that squat in their houses and change the locks. Said gypsies also like killing the ducks, geese, and swans in English parks and cooking them.
Noggers are increasingly doing the same (squatting in houses, changing the locks and getting papers to prove they’re the new legal owners) and the force of the fedgov will soon be behind them because middle-class home ownership be rayciss.
In such a scenario one hopes never happens and note I’m just informing not advocating for, that will stop when people start taking out unlawful authority or if they can’t get to them, their kids , family, friends, favorite eatery anyone near them.
Its a bit Cartel Justice but its highly effective and has happened in so many places as to be almost routine.
I don’t think the NRA can be counted on for that.
As long as they can keep raising money for doing it, sure they will. Look, I have no illusions about the NRA and their motives, but it’s a simple fact that the freedom to own and defend yourself with a gun is one of the very few freedoms that has actually been expanded in the last fifty years, and the NRA has had a lot to do with that, and that in the face of snobby ConInc types looking down their noses at them. If conservatives had had any brains (which they don’t of course) they would have tried to… Read more »
how did all those guns help with the election? prayer in school? abortion? etc etc etc reminds me of the ersatz Holmes Story “The Dog That Will Never Bark”…
The NRA’s job is to promote gun rights, which they have done well, in fact gun ownership is the only area where the “right” won some of the culture war.
So stop punching right and tearing down a successful organization.
I’m not sure if gun people will fight either but the election isn’t resolved nor is any possible backlash to the theft, It might surprise you that a lot of people including right wing gun types care nothing about school prayer or abortion. I’m in that list. Many of us are not much more religious than our Blue counterparts or at most aren’t going to church . Nor do we think that the State needs to promote prayer. Some of us, me included are fine with abortion even if they don’t much like it and while its not polite to… Read more »
They don’t have to do anything but continue with existing strategies. It’s already monumentally expensive to train a good rifleman … a few thousand rounds down range equates to several thousand dollars. If you shop for critical reloading components you’ll find that powder/primer/brass is hard to come by – critically so. I can’t afford to smoke $5 packs of cigarettes, nor can I afford a couple hundred bucks for an afternoon of 5.56 plinking. TPTB minimize possibilities of open conflict if most people have only one or two magazines of ammo for their $2K tacti-cool rifle.
The ammo supply problem is probably the same asshole hoarders that are making TP unavailable around here again. You may want 2k rounds for training but there is only so much material and manufacturing capacity to go around. From what I can tell nearly all the plans are at full capacity and no one has reported suspicious buyers grabbing up the supply. Just new buyers and panic buyers on an stretched supply chain. Ammo is out there even at places like cheaper than dirt, just a bit pricey compared to usual. I doubt this won’t be a rifleman’s war anyway.… Read more »
That paper card they will be issuing will be replaced with an app for your phone that will be required if you want to function like what passes as a normal adult.
This already exists with auto insurance. Allstate gives a discount if you install an app that tracks your location and speed. If you disable it, you get email reminders to turn it back on. The coming government app compliance will be more intrusive than a discount and an email.
Progressive has a GPS-enabled box that gets installed in your car to track your driving habits and get you discounted rates.
Yeah, no.
My rates would go up if I had that installed – AND I’d lose privacy. No thanks!
Problem is—or will be—when the “voluntary” users of such tracking reach a critical point and then such tracking becomes mandatory for the issuance of the policy. Case in point. I don’t use a cell phone. It is cased (Faraday cage) and mostly turned off. I’ll break it out for emergency travel and such, but not for steady use. However, I am now finding any number of software services used, like logging into brokerage accounts, that require two stage authentication. Fine, good idea—however the second stage (after pw) is an authorization code *only* sent through a cell phone text message. The… Read more »
So long as you get a discount nobody cares. True Consoomers are legion now who care nothing about personal privacy whatsoever. Anyone who spends half their life starting into a screen and/or taking pics of themselves cares nothing about having their lives tracked in a Truman Show like fashion. I learned this by observing how many of my own friends, acquaintances, and family have voluntarily installed a ‘Telescreen’ into their home. Echo Dots and Alexa. They all have them and not only that, they paid for the privilege! Amazon assures us that it is only recording when you say ‘Alexa’… Read more »
Heh. Bentham would’ve loved all this!
The other day I went round to tell the Pajeet neighbours to keep the noise down on the TV. Pajeet says he doesn’t have a TV. He then says, ah, it must have been Alexa. Great…
You’re spot on when you point out (alarmingly) just how many of our number, young and old, go all in for full blown consumerism. Consequences be damned.
Every newer car has a black box that spies on you.
This. I never relax in my car anymore. I know it is a monitored and controlled place and I hate it. As soon as this lease is up I’m buying a slightly older used car, without all the electronic spying and control built in.
If one wants a primer on what is to come we have copious amounts of movies and books describing our dystopian future. There are usually a few general themes that run through most of them, none that would surprise anyone here. Even Black Mirror episodes are especially good on this, seeing that the types that hate us and freedom are similar to these monsters.
Entrance sign to all western countries: Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
On the one of the Gili islands off Bali in Indonesia, there are no police.
Seems pretty free to me.
For what it’s worth, I guess I will be a crash test dummy regarding mandatory vaccinations. There is no way in hell I’m going to allow it.
Cant fly? I’m afraid of flying and heights.
No sportsball for me? Watching a bunch of chimps run, jump and throw a ball isn’t my bag.
Cant go to the store?
Thats what family is for.
I’ll let you all know how it works out.
I’m not taking it either
Just bought wife the Bullitt Mustang. That thing flies. That will be my transport
With our newfound obsession with flattening curves and preventing virus spread, why aren’t we shutting down gay pride festivals to prevent HIV spreading?
That’s what a lot of us were asking back in the 80’s. Of course, if Covid were a disease that somehow had a connection to gays,or blacks, or any other “victim” group,we would be told that are chance of dying from it were miniscule, and to quit worrying. This is the tack the Left was taking back in January and February, back when the disease was associated with Asians and Communism, and before they realized the opportunities this :crisis” offered for a power grab.
It’s the same answer as to why the Floyd protest/looting sprees were allowed, but the lady sitting with her family (socially distanced) watching a schoolboy football game was tased and dragged off by a Mall Cop for not wearing a mask.
Even if everything about the vaccine was totally above board and honest,and it totally worked, with no side effects, I still can see no logical reason why anyone under the age of fifty who had no serious illnesses should get it. The fact that it is seemingly going to be mandatory for everyone is highly suspicious, at the very least.
I mean, it is only reasonable that everyone chip in and have 330 million people pay $250 each for the vaccine, than to make Boomers pay $750 each for 110 million shots… The boomers will literally sell their progeny off via accidental infertility to “spread the wealth around” while simultaneously decrying “muh socializms” – just you wait, it’s coming. Not that the boomers here will, mind you, but the group will.
“The Boomers will cry out about socialism while nationalizing your healthcare savings account.”
This whole thing makes me wonder if they are going to start doctoring long existing vaccines to start injecting secret ingredients.
I have never been an anti-vaxxer. I will not take the chink-flu vaccine, now I will have to start distrusting the others as well.
At my age I don’t even buy green bananas. Having said that the Boomers sure have a lot to answer for.
Congratulations! You have won the highly coveted Non-Sequitur of the Year Award! I like blue ants.
If this sounds a lot like fascism, you would be right. This idea vexes the anti-Semites and neo-Nazis, because they demand fascism only mean cool uniforms and camps for people they don’t like.
Yes.
“Wait, you’re telling me I can’t have free speech, property rights and rule of law in the new Reich? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
because they demand fascism only mean cool uniforms
What’s the point, a Hugo Boss comes once in lifetime.
no one is going to better those SS uniforms. HB would not be able to keep them in stock, if they started making them again.
In my observation, the people who know the least about fascism are the people most fond of it.
“Fascism” is notoriously difficult to define.
My best definition is that the government is specifically set up to serve the historic population.
Fascism is not perfect. It suffers from the problem of being subverted, but every government is vulnerable to that, even small government federalism, as the history of the USA demonstrates.
