Have a Friend with TDS? Send Them HERE to Make it WORSE

Matt Taibbi has done the world a favor.

He has, in one place, put all of the Corporate Media  / Cathedral's Russia!! hoax material.  It is the Rosetta Stone of all the Russia nonsense spewed by the Cabal from when Trump became a serious candidate, to the very end this past January.

The TDS out there is so bad that Joe Scarborough, on a show no one watches, just called out the reporters who told the truth about the Russia hoaxery.  Taibbi issued an open challenge:

Key quote:

"If you’d rather not have me on, I’m sure someone on the more critical side would be happy to walk you through exactly how far short of “right, more often than not” your network has been in the last five years or so. Most of the major outlets were terrible on this story, but MSNBC’s particular brand of suckage was visible from space during the key years of Russiagate. Which I’m happy to lay out for you. Come on — no matter how it turns out, it’ll be great TV!"

We all see people online, particularly on social media, who have TDS.  They're easy to spot.  Even with: the border "challenge"; people in pods (not cages) at 800%+ capacity, gas prices sky high, Middle Eastern war back on the menu, financial crises, Ford plant to Mexico, Keystone pipeline farce, delayed stimmies, and a host of other clown moves, the TDS crowd is still out there with "hey it's not so bad, at least there aren't mean tweets!"

The Russia hoax list linked above is great fodder to link, or copy and paste and use with the people who seem to be relieved that things are 'now OK'.  Remember, it won't change their mind.  Anyone with that bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome  is beyond help (TDS 19?).  

I used to do this kind of thing when I was on TWTR and FB.  At first I tried to speak respectfully and try to get people to think for themselves.  Then I tried to have healthy discussions and debates.  Then I realized that I was having no effect.  Then I did it just to sharpen my rhetorical claws on people's proverbial faces.  Then I got kicked off of TWTR.  Then I deleted both of my FB accounts.

If you have the energy to jump into the mud pile and swing haymakers - the Taibbi list is for YOU.  Good luck out there.

Scott Atlas Takes the High Road

My issue of Imprimis just came in the mail.

Scott Atlas talks about the direction of the country if it continues with the type of behavior he had to deal with during his time in the Trump administration.  All signs point downward.

He begins with this:

"The COVID pandemic has been a tragedy, no doubt. But it has exposed profound issues in America that threaten the principles of freedom and order that we Americans often take for granted.

First, I have been shocked at the unprecedented exertion of power by the government since last March—issuing unilateral decrees, ordering the closure of businesses, churches, and schools, restricting personal movement, mandating behavior, and suspending indefinitely basic freedoms. Second, I was and remain stunned—almost frightened—at the acquiescence of the American people to such destructive, arbitrary, and wholly unscientific rules, restrictions, and mandates.

The pandemic also brought to the forefront things we have known existed and have tolerated for years: media bias, the decline of academic freedom on campuses, the heavy hand of Big Tech, and—now more obviously than ever—the politicization of science. Ultimately, the freedom of Americans to seek and state what they believe to be the truth is at risk."

I agree.  I was stunned, and still am, at the malleability of the American mind.  The Media Industrial Complex can say whatever it wants, and people will comply.  It's quite incredible.  

You can read what Atlas says here.  Or you can continue below.  But after going through the whole thing, I thought about the multiple people I saw today, alone, in their cars, wearing a mask.  I also recalled a guy at work, intensely religious, wearing two masks.  And I work in a school. After reading this you'll see how ridiculous both of those things are.

Here is the rest of the article:

Let me say at the outset that I, like all of us, acknowledge that the consequences of the COVID pandemic and its management have been enormous. Over 500,000 American deaths have been attributed to the virus; more will follow. Even after almost a year, the pandemic still paralyzes our country. And despite all efforts, there has been an undeniable failure to stop cases from escalating and to prevent hospitalizations and deaths.

But there is also an unacknowledged reality: almost every state and major city in the U.S., with a handful of exceptions, have implemented severe restrictions for many months, including closures of businesses and in-person schools, mobility restrictions and curfews, quarantines, limits on group gatherings, and mask mandates dating back to at least last summer. And despite any myths to the contrary, social mobility tracking of Americans and data from Gallup, YouGov, the COVID-19 Consortium, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have all shown significant reductions of movement as well as a consistently high percentage of mask-wearing since the late summer, similar to the extent seen in Western Europe and approaching the extent seen in Asia.

With what results?

All legitimate policy scholars today should be reexamining the policies that have severely harmed America’s children and families, while failing to save the elderly. Numerous studies, including one from Stanford University’s infectious disease scientists and epidemiologists Benavid, Oh, Bhattacharya, and Ioannides have shown that the mitigating impact of the extraordinary measures used in almost every state was small at best—and usually harmful. President Biden himself openly admitted the lack of efficacy of these measures in his January 22 speech to the nation: “There is nothing we can do,” he said, “to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”

Bizarrely, though, many want to blame those who opposed lockdowns and mandates for the failure of the very lockdowns and mandates that were widely implemented.

Besides their limited value in containing the virus, lockdown policies have been extraordinarily harmful. The harms to children of suspending in-person schooling are dramatic, including poor learning, school dropouts, social isolation, and suicidal ideation, most of which are far worse for lower income groups. A recent study confirms that up to 78 percent of cancers were never detected due to missed screening over a three-month period. If one extrapolates to the entire country, 750,000 to over a million new cancer cases over a nine-month period will have gone undetected. That health disaster adds to missed critical surgeries, delayed presentations of pediatric illnesses, heart attack and stroke patients too afraid to go to the hospital, and others—all well documented.

Beyond hospital care, the CDC reported four-fold increases in depression, three-fold increases in anxiety symptoms, and a doubling of suicidal ideation, particularly among young adults after the first few months of lockdowns, echoing American Medical Association reports of drug overdoses and suicides. Domestic and child abuse have been skyrocketing due to the isolation and loss of jobs. Given that many schools have been closed, hundreds of thousands of abuse cases have gone unreported, since schools are commonly where abuse is noticed. Finally, the unemployment shock from lockdowns, according to a recent National Bureau of Economic Research study, will generate a three percent increase in the mortality rate and a 0.5 percent drop in life expectancy over the next 15 years, disproportionately affecting African-Americans and women. That translates into what the study refers to as a “staggering” 890,000 additional U.S. deaths.

We know we have not yet seen the full extent of the damage from the lockdowns, because the effects will continue to be felt for decades. Perhaps that is why lockdowns were not recommended in previous pandemic response analyses, even for diseases with far higher death rates.

To determine the best path forward, shouldn’t policymakers objectively consider the impact both of the virus and of anti-virus policies to date? This points to the importance of health policy, my own particular field, which requires a broader scope than that of epidemiologists and basic scientists. In the case of COVID, it requires taking into account the fact that lockdowns and other significant restrictions on individuals have been extraordinarily harmful—even deadly—especially for the working class and the poor.

***

Optimistically, we should be seeing the light at the end of the long tunnel with the rollout of vaccines, now being administered at a rate of one million to 1.5 million per day. On the other hand, using logic that would appeal to Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter, in many states the vaccines were initially administered more frequently to healthier and younger people than to those at greatest risk from the virus. The argument was made that children should be among the first to be vaccinated, although children are at extremely low risk from the virus and are proven not to be significant spreaders to adults. Likewise, we heard the Kafka-esque idea promoted that teachers must be vaccinated before teaching in person, when schools are one of the lowest risk environments and the vast majority of teachers are not high risk.

Worse, we hear so-called experts on TV warning that social distancing, masks, and other restrictions will still be necessary after people are vaccinated! All indications are that those in power have no intention of allowing Americans to live normally—which for Americans means to live freely—again.

And sadly, just as in Galileo’s time, the root of our problem lies in “the experts” and vested academic interests. At many universities—which are supposed to be America’s centers for critical thinking—those with views contrary to those of “the experts” currently in power find themselves intimidated. Many have become afraid to speak up.

But the suppression of academic freedom is not the extent of the problem on America’s campuses.

To take Stanford, where I work, as an example, some professors have resorted to toxic smears in opinion pieces and organized rebukes aimed at those of us who criticized the failed health policies of the past year and who dared to serve our country under a president they despised—the latter apparently being the ultimate transgression.

Defamatory attacks with malicious intent based on straw-man arguments and out-of-context distortions are not acceptable in American society, let alone in our universities. There has been an attempt to intimidate and discredit me using falsifications and misrepresentations. This violates Stanford’s Code of Conduct, damages the Stanford name, and abuses the trust that parents and society place in educators.

It is understandable that most Stanford professors are not experts in the field of health policy and are ignorant of the data about the COVID pandemic. But that does not excuse the fact that some called recommendations that I made “falsehoods and misrepresentations of science.” That was a lie, and no matter how often lies are repeated by politically-driven accusers, and regardless of how often those lies are echoed in biased media, lies will never be true.

We all must pray to God that the infamous claim attributed to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels—“A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth”—never becomes operative in the United States of America.

All of the policies I recommended to President Trump were designed to reduce both the spread of the virus to the most vulnerable and the economic, health, and social harms of anti-COVID policies for those impacted the most—small businesses, the working class, and the poor. I was one of the first to push for increasing protections for those most at risk, particularly the elderly. At the same time, almost a year ago, I recognized that we must also consider the enormous harms to physical and mental health, as well as the deaths attributable to the draconian policies implemented to contain the infection. That is the goal of public health policy—to minimize all harms, not simply to stop a virus at all costs.

The claim in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) opinion piece by three Stanford professors that “nearly all public health experts were concerned that [Scott Atlas’s] recommendations could lead to tens of thousands (or more) of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. alone” is patently false and absurd on its face. As pointed out by Dr. Joel Zinberg in National Review, the Great Barrington Declaration—a proposal co-authored by medical scientists and epidemiologists from Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford—“is closer to the one condemned in the JAMA article than anything Atlas said.” Yet the Great Barrington Declaration has already been signed by over 50,000 medical and public health practitioners.

When critics display such ignorance about the scope of views held by experts, it exposes their bias and disqualifies their authority on these issues. Indeed, it is almost beyond parody that these same critics wrote that “professionalism demands honesty about what [experts] know and do not know.”

I have explained the fact that younger people have little risk from this infection, and I have explained the biological fact of herd immunity—just like Harvard epidemiologist Katherine Yih did. That is very different from proposing that people be deliberately exposed and infected—which I have never suggested, although I have been accused of doing so.

I have also been accused of “argu[ing] that many public health orders aimed at increasing social distancing could be forgone without ill effects.” To the contrary, I have repeatedly called for mitigation measures, including extra sanitization, social distancing, masks, group limits, testing, and other increased protections to limit the spread and damage from the coronavirus. I explicitly called for augmenting protection of those at risk—in dozens of on-the-record presentations, interviews, and written pieces.

My accusers have ignored my explicit, emphatic public denials about supporting the spread of the infection unchecked to achieve herd immunity—denials quoted widely in the media. Perhaps this is because my views are not the real object of their criticism. Perhaps it is because their true motive is to “cancel” anyone who accepted the call to serve America in the Trump administration.

For many months, I have been vilified after calling for opening in-person schools—in line with Harvard Professors Martin Kulldorf and Katherine Yih and Stanford Professor Jay Bhattacharya—but my policy recommendation has been corroborated repeatedly by the literature. The compelling case to open schools is now admitted even in publications like The Atlantic, which has noted: “Research from around the world has, since the beginning of the pandemic, indicated that people under 18, and especially younger kids, are less susceptible to infection, less likely to experience severe symptoms, and far less likely to be hospitalized or die.” The subhead of the article was even clearer: “We’ve known for months that young children are less susceptible to serious infection and less likely to transmit the coronavirus.”

When the JAMA accusers wrote that I “disputed the need for masks,” they misrepresented my words. My advice on mask usage has been consistent: “Wear a mask when you cannot socially distance.” At the time, this matched the published recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). This past December, the WHO modified its recommendation: “In areas where the virus is circulating, masks should be worn when you’re in crowded settings, where you can’t be at least one meter [roughly three feet] from others, and in rooms with poor or unknown ventilation”—in other words, not at all times by everyone. This also matches the recommendation of the National Institutes of Health document Prevention and Prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: “When consistent distancing is not possible, face coverings may further reduce the spread of infectious droplets from individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection to others.”

Regarding universal masks, 38 states have implemented mask mandates, most of them since at least the summer, with almost all the rest having mandates in their major cities. Widespread, general population mask usage has shown little empirical utility in terms of preventing cases, even though citing or describing evidence against their utility has been censored. Denmark also performed a randomized controlled study that showed that widespread mask usage had only minimal impact.

This is the reality: those who insist that universal mask usage has absolutely proven effective at controlling the spread of the COVID virus and is universally recommended according to “the science” are deliberately ignoring the evidence to the contrary. It is they who are propagating false and misleading information.

Those who say it is unethical, even dangerous, to question broad population mask mandates must also explain why many top infectious disease scientists and public health organizations question the efficacy of general population masking. Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, for instance, wrote that “despite two decades of pandemic preparedness, there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks.” Oxford epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta says there is no need for masks unless one is elderly or high risk. Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya has said that “mask mandates are not supported by the scientific data. . . . There is no scientific evidence that mask mandates work to slow the spread of the disease.”

Throughout this pandemic, the WHO’s “Advice on the use of masks in the context of COVID-19” has included the following statement: “At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.” The CDC, in a review of influenza pandemics in May 2020, “did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility.” And until the WHO removed it on October 21, 2020—soon after Twitter censored a tweet of mine highlighting the quote—the WHO had published the fact that “the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider.”

My advice on masks all along has been based on scientific data and matched the advice of many of the top scientists and public health organizations throughout the world.

***

At this point, one could make a reasonable case that those who continue to push societal restrictions without acknowledging their failures and the serious harms they caused are themselves putting forth dangerous misinformation. Despite that, I will not call for their official rebuke or punishment. I will not try to cancel them. I will not try to extinguish their opinions. And I will not lie to distort their words and defame them. To do so would repeat the shameful stifling of discourse that is critical to educating the public and arriving at the scientific truths we desperately need.

If this shameful behavior continues, university mottos like Harvard’s “Truth,” Stanford’s “The Winds of Freedom Blow,” and Yale’s “Light and Truth” will need major revision.

Big Tech has piled on with its own heavy hand to help eliminate discussion of conflicting evidence. Without permitting open debate and admission of errors, we might never be able to respond effectively to any future crisis. Indeed, open debate should be more than permitted—it should be encouraged.

As a health policy scholar for over 15 years and as a professor at elite universities for 30 years, I am shocked and dismayed that so many faculty members at these universities are now dangerously intolerant of opinions contrary to their favored narrative. Some even go further, distorting and misrepresenting words to delegitimize and even punish those of us willing to serve the country in the administration of a president they loathe. It is their own behavior, to quote the Stanford professors who have attacked me, that “violates the core values of [Stanford] faculty and the expectations under the Stanford Code of Conduct, which states that we all ‘are responsible for sustaining the high ethical standards of this institution.’” In addition to violating standards of ethical behavior among colleagues, this behavior falls short of simple human decency.

If academic leaders fail to renounce such unethical conduct, increasing numbers of academics will be unwilling to serve their country in contentious times. As educators, as parents, as fellow citizens, that would be the worst possible legacy to leave to our children.

I also fear that the idea of science as a search for truth—a search utilizing the empirical scientific method—has been seriously damaged. Even the world’s leading scientific journals—The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, and Nature—have been contaminated by politics. What is more concerning, many in the public and in the scientific community have become fatigued by the arguments—and fatigue will allow fallacy to triumph over truth.

With social media acting as the arbiter of allowable discussion, and with continued censorship and cancellation of those with views challenging the “accepted narrative,” the United States is on the verge of losing its cherished freedoms. It is not at all clear whether our democratic republic will survive—but it is clear it will not survive unless more people begin to step up in defense of freedom of thought and speech.

The SPARK that Lights the Fire

One of the best military historians alive, William Lind, sees what's happening.  As an older guy with a wealth of historical knowledge, and no fealty whatsoever to the woke / progressive / liberal / Democrat beast, he writes in a refreshingly direct way. If you want unchained, politically incorrect analysis, you can find it here.

Lind cuts down to the bone in a few places.  I think he's right.

Here's the first hit:

"Great historic currents are often set in motion by small events. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand did not cause World War I–the cause was enmity between Austria and Russia that went back to the Crimean War, coupled with military plans that put a premium on mobilizing faster than your opponent–but provided the spark in the powder magazine."

Then he goes a little bit further:

"Such a spark is in the offing. Bowing to the demands of cultural Marxism and its “woke” fanatics, the Biden Administration is moving to re-name all military bases whose present names are those of Confederate generals. This is part of the Left’s hate campaign against the South, its history, and its culture, and more broadly its demand that whites continually abase themselves before blacks (not including the blacks who fought for the Confederacy, a non-trivial number)."

I told you so.  That's about as far away from mainstream or corporate academia opinion as you can get.  As a matter of fact, Lind writes the opposite of what we're told in the Main.  It's one of the patterns you have to recognize.  Usually the opposite of what the Cathedral is saying is what's actually true.  Following that pattern has worked for me.  Whoever is being 'oppressed' at the time, you can be sure that that Narrative is, at minimum, wrong, if not the opposite of what is going on in the real world.

You've seen how the 'asians are oppressed' Narrative was created out of whole cloth in the past month.  It literally came out of nowhere.  There's no evidence to support it.  There is no wave of any kind.  I've always wondered who at the top thinks up the next Narrative.  We know why they do it.  They just need more distractions and oppression narratives for the Herd, especially as the Stupid 19 story loses strength.  Social media is now filled with the Stop Asian Hate fodder for the farm animals.

Lastly, Lind explains his reasoning:

"But fighting men tend to have strong identification with things like regiments, service branches, and the historic names of their bases. The units based at places such as Ft. Bragg, Ft. Hood, and Ft. Benning identify with those names. In many cases, other family members often serve at those same bases for generations (as always, the Army’s most important recruiting ground is the rural South). All over the country retired fighting men share strong identification with the current base names. I do not find it difficult to imagine that when the new, politically correct base names are announced, the troops on those bases mutiny. If they do, they are likely to get strong support from veterans and from the communities that surround the bases.

What does the Washington Establishment do then? If it sends other military units against those resisting, they are likely to refuse the orders. So will the National Guard. So will the police. What now, Madam Under-secretary?

I'm not sure Lind is right about that last part.  We just watched police and military do exactly as they were told when it came to enforcing anti-constitutional CV19 lockdown demands.  Hey, they're just doing their jobs right?  They've got a pension to protect, right?  He naively expects the military or the cops to disobey, in the name of 'freedom'.  Some will, but those numbers will be small.

Where he's right is the idea that an economic collapse is practically guaranteed to create a spark.  As the dollar loses value, it's possible that we will see the National Divorce proceed with increased speed. He ends with the economic point, and on that he's correct.  The only question is when.

What will your situation be like when the music stops?

Angelo Codevilla writes about the same topic, from a different angle, here.  Both of these articles were at Vox's site, to which I owe a great deal.

Texas MASK Update - Fauci Juice WORKS

Stupid 19 is the gift that keeps on giving.  Witness:

You like how I caught the surprised guy meme gif in mid shock.  I have to love myself for that.  My blog post game is tight rn.

The funny part of this is how people simply can't get past themselves.  Many of the replies are talking about the efficacy of vaccines.  It's like a religion now, on everyone's side.  There is no escape.

They say this despite the fact that even if you get the Fauci Juice you are told you STILL have to social distance and wear a mask.  If that's the case, then how can anyone explain the fact that 'cases' have gone down ... after dropping the mask mandate?  This absurd country we're in is devolving into some kind of hybrid Religulous  / Idiocracy hybrid.

Why did I put 'cases' in quotes?  Because this is the counting methodology in the 'modern' West:

And based on this, they are moving quickly to limit your travel, limit your movement, limit your fun, and basically control every aspect of your life.  

Now I see how all the insanely violent things in the past happened.  The Powers That Be simply make everyone afraid, based on things real or imagined, and the Herd will comply and do anything for group acceptance and  / or safety.

It really seems to be that simple.

** I owe much of the rhetoric and nomenclature here to the Hoteps.  They've been on fire lately and deserve a listen / watch.**

They Are Working Overtime to Control YOU

Glenn Greenwald wrote a short article on how Congress is working overtime to get Big Tech to censor more of American's online travels.  GG's take on Jack Dorsey was quite interesting.  The paragraph on Zuckerberg alone made my yearly subscription worth the price:

The comment section on GG's articles is pretty good.  25% of them are Normies, wailing about "but don't they understand that the 1st Amendment says....?!?!"  These people haven't figured out that it's simply about control.  The globalist progressive Woke Hive Mind demands subservience, nothing else.  The constitution is a dead letter to them, unless it's convenient.

I posted this comment - a good one I think:

"Escaping the Cult of Free is part of the solution. Protonmail, Gab, Locals, BitChute, Substack, and other platforms are where people are heading. Big Tech got everyone in the pen because it was free. They've convinced you that you must use their platforms, and built up the most powerful flywheel in the human mind: HABIT. I remember when it was odd that companies were pushing their FB pages in your face. FB was a boring site where no one went. 

Then 'suddenly' every major corp had a FB page. Even more interesting when you consider that ZBerg is obviously easy to control, and the Winklevoss twins are not. Even MORE interesting when you look at the gov't agency early funding of the site.

Youtube used to be a free place. Not anymore. It's time to move. These power hungry disgusting busybodies have no idea what the life of a regular person is like. These pols don't like it that someone might hear something that undermines their precious authority. This is a collectivist mindset and it's been around forever. They hate individuals who can think for themselves.

The people at Urbit have the right idea. Soon it won't be only the uber tech savvy people there, it will be many more.

The breakup and decentralization has slowly begun. Soon it will be the country itself. I think it will be a bumpy ride, but it's both good and inevitable."

That's how I see things going forward.  Why would I want to live under any of these control freaks who have no respect for the Western past?  Not only that, why would I want to live with people who think like this:

Here's the money quote.  I know people like this, as I'm in NYC and the 'people' are, as the Perfume Nationalist calls them: shitlibs:

"When I asked a True Believer about all this last week – a man whose scriptures are the New York Times, the New York Review of Books and the New Yorker magazine – my friend told me I should stop watching Fox News.

After I pressed him gently on Russiagate, he told me that Trump had indeed colluded with Putin but that Mueller pulled his punches because he’s a Republican."

How any right minded person expects anything else other than some form of national divorce; I don't know.  Imagine talking to the person above, knowing that not only does that person live near you, but votes.  

No thank you.

How to Avoid Biting on the Corporate Media FAKE

The view that I, and others, were talking about months ago has reached the mainstream.  This was in my work email inbox yesterday from one of our vendor partners.  They are a huge player in the high school to college acceptance pipeline:

This was a heretical view as recently as 3 or 4 months ago.  If you brought it up, you got the usual COVID!! screeching and hand wringing.  On social media you got the standard "well don't you know COVID is a thing" trope that the Woke Prog bots have been spoon fed to mindlessly repeat.  The Great Barrington Declaration wrote elegantly that not only were school age children not at risk, but that the ripple effects of lockdowns on young people would be disastrous.  Open the schools and let young people live their lives they said.

Despite the Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford pedigree of the GBD authors, they were crucified by the Ticket Takers in the Corporate Press and the Woke imbeciles on Social Media.

One thing I stress to HS students is that it's important for your personal health to recognize these patterns. Remember way back in the Before Times, in June 2020, when HUGE gatherings were fine?  I do:

Here's how you know the COVID hysteria in the Corporate Press and the Public Health Industrial Complex is wholly fraudulent.  Here's a list, from memory, of horrible events that were maligned and crucified in the Press as either terrible things by terrible people and / or a 'superpreader' event:

• Super bowl celebration in FL.
• Tom Brady wasn't wearing a mask.
• DJT rally on Jan. 6.
• Sweden's COVID policy.
• Anti Lockdown protest in MI.
• Spring Break fun in Miami Beach.
• Every pro Trump Rally.
• IA loosening gathering limits in Feb 2021.
• Every common sense CV19 policy by Republican governor DeSantis in FL.

That's a list of things just off the top of my head.

But you see the rally above was not only acceptable, it was lauded.  It was celebrated.  Not once in the linked article is it mentioned that a gathering that large is a COVID risk.  The mostly masked crowd was given a pass.  You see the same hypocritical nonsense with the USA / Mexico border farce. Are the people flowing into the United States required to get their temperature taken?  Do they have to write down their names and addresses for 'contact tracing'?  Are they limited to 50% capacity?  All of these things are required for me to eat at the Dominican restaurant down the street from where I live.  Why aren't the same regs instituted down there?  I am a Bad Person for asking these questions.  So are you.  

The point isn't the CV19 hypocrisy.  That's easy to spot, and there are plenty of people who do it better than I do.  Also the hypocrisy is built in.  It's always part of the script.  Its job is to foster anger and despair.  The message that I share with young people is that the people who rule us have no interest in your wellbeing.  One of their goals, among many, is power over large swaths of people.  That's it.  

So when you see an email message like the one I got yesterday, you have to shake your head.  It signals the end of the Old Narrative, and now we can wait for the new one.  Now that even more damage has been done to the Black neighborhood and other areas left behind, and billions of dollars and capital have flowed upward to the Top, it's time for whatever the new harmful Narrative to emerge.

I wonder what it will be?

The Worst Ruling Class EVER - Explained on Video

In this last round of free money from the sky (stimulus checks), around 1 million dead people got a check.

Dead people.

So not only has the federal government replaced God as the giver of all things good to the people, it also has the incompetence (or maybe beneficence?), to provide money to dead people.

Rand Paul explains in this video that there are elected officials at the federal level who don't want that kind of behavior to stop.  They want to keep the checks to the dead flowing.  They rationalize it the same way they always defend the indefensible.  

From stimmies to dead people, the clownish Fauci, and the destruction of the city formerly known as Washington DC, Paul explains how venal, absurd, stupid, incompetent and ridiculous our ruling class is.  I often talk about how we have the worst ruling class in the history of the human race, and this video cemented it for me.

Will the National Divorce be in 2030, 2033, or 2040?  I really think it's a matter of when, not if.  These people Rand Paul talks about rule over YOU.  Anyone thinking that FedGov is doing anything even remotely resembling what you learned in 6th grade Civics class is delusional.

The whole thing is a Woke, disastrous mess.  Our rulers are idiotic, and you owe them nothing.
