A friend just sent me this and it so perfectly accords with my feelings, I had to share. I mean, I COULD suffer alone, but why?
Proposed 2021 Calendar-
January– War with Interdimensional aliens
February- Vampires reveal themselves as having been real all the time, and explain that they are in a drawn out battle with the Fey.
March– General Trump leads a contingent of Jager Robots against dopplegangers from another timeline that merges with ours.
April– The great old ones lead a dark army against the aliens. Humans unsure as to why we’re not the priority.
June- The great emperors of China, now arisen in a combined single soul calling itself, roughly, the High Lord, attempt to attack with an army of zombies while nobody is looking.
July- Things get very strange here.
August- Pope Trump, emperor of Saturn, ascends after defeating his predecessor in single combat after the old pope started manifesting horns and wings.
September- Mars explodes. Even given all of the above, nobody is sure why. Saturn is fine though.
October- Completely uneventful, but at this stage that’s almost worse.
November- We wake up and find that it was all a dream. Oh, not the stuff above. All the bits in between and before in which we thought life was not continually batshit.
December– People begin to spontaneously turn into animal-human hybrids and buildings suffer cataclysmic instability as basic structural components turn into cookie dough. The fundamental nature of reality dissolves into a morass of undifferentiated mush like a freshly decanted jell-o bundt on a salamander
Okay. You feel better now, right? Because there’s no way that 2021 can be that crazy. Right? Please, tell me that it can’t.
It wasn’t just losing a commenter and friend (they live close to our former home and used to visit) but for some reason these last two days have been murphy type of days.
Yesterday I had a migraine lasting about 24 hours. And today my remaining computer of 4 I started the year with decided to go paws up. It started having issues two days go, but today it won’t boot for love or money.
Why did I have four computers at the beginning of the year? Mostly because over the years of not being able to afford a better computer, we kept adding cheap laptops to take some of the load. So I had a computer for writing, one for travel, one for publishing, and another one for art (that one was a desk top but almost fifteen years old.)
One by one they rolled over and died early year, until all I had — ALL I HAD — was the travel laptop, which was the youngest of the bunch and had become my social media, blog and evenings computer (because I leave the office and sit in the living room and chat with friends, while we watch something or just hang out.)
We’d talked about getting me a travel one that could handle rudimentary image manipulation (mostly for blog posts) but there was no real urgency. And despite a strange tendency to take a long time starting, it worked fine.
Well…. three days ago it started having issues, and today it just wouldn’t start. We took it apart on the kitchen table to see if it was cat hair. It wasn’t.
So I took the last few hours to rehabilitate and set up the old writing laptop (long story, but it sort of works for just social media, provided I don’t try to also write or heaven forfend anything more exciting than that.)
Maybe there will be enough money for a new travel computer but probably not right away.
Meanwhile, I need to do work I SHOULD have done yesterday, when I couldn’t think through the migraine.
I just had word that Dean Allen, aka Silver Drake died this morning of a stroke. She used to comment here, but more importantly, she was a regular on the old Baen’s bar.
Her husband doesn’t know how to contact any of her old friends, and I’m afraid I don’t either, I’ve been out of the bar so long.
So I ask if any of you know how to that you reach out to them, and more importantly to Michael and give what help you can.
If you ping me privately, I’ll give you his email.
(And yes, I’m going to post. I was in the middle of writing it.)
I woke up with a headache I can barely think past.
In talking to friends, I find this — or other manifestations of extreme stress — are pretty much universal, and I suspect beyond the crazy lockdowns and everything the people at the top are doing to kill our country, our productivity is in the crapper because none of us can think or get things done.
I also know this is shortening my life, since auto-immune is stress activated. But then a lot of illnesses are and there are doctors who will tell you that a few years of stress will cause cancer or worse down the road.
So, that’s where we are, and there isn’t a lot we can do about it. Well, except make life as difficult as possible for those supporting the would be thief in chief — grandpa bad finger, diddles girls and makes them cry, steals countries and makes them die — because they are objectively supporting the power of fascist China (really? communist? well, it’s a distinction without a difference, because they own some companies outright and others they control with the power of an overwhelming and insane government.) and supporting their stooge who wishes to destroy America (and the rest of the world.)
To make this clearer to all of you out there, China as a culture, has never had any issues destroying batch lots of its own people in the service of tyrannical authority. And running in possession (or possessed) by communism, they produced so many bodies during the Cultural revolution that they choked the Yalu river.
If you actually read Chinese history, they are prey to a resetting virus, even dumber than the great reset. Every thousand years or so, they burn all the books, and sometimes the storytellers, and reset history. This has worked so well for them, that until the west gifted them modern technology, despite being one of the oldest civilizations in the word, they were basically living mired somewhere around ancient Babylon level, and repeating ad-nauseum. Even now, most of them ain’t a lot better off.
I’m always puzzled and amazed, when my creative friends get stars in thier eyes about how much they can sell to China. This is based PURELY off numbers, and has zero to do with ability to sell to a people who a) don’t respect copyright. So if your book should be a hit, they’ll steal it b) the majority of the population are illiterate, dirt poor peasants living in conditions that would make our ancestors three hundred years ago BLUSH.
And the idiots who want to put Bad Finger and Commie LaWhorish in charge want to submit us to that corrupt, and frankly more than mildly insane culture.
And the ones who aren’t aware of how bad that culture is, or that this is the ultimate goal of the humanity-hating party, are still idiots who refuse to or are incapable of thinking, because they want more and more centralization of power into the federal government, in a continent-spanning nation.
Let alone the fact I never understood the rationale of why people think that if you can’t trust individuals, you can trust local government, and if you can’t trust local government, you can trust the feds, it is stupid to expect a nation as large and as complex as ours to be run from a central point, and by people who frankly all belong to a class, educated in a handful of schools, most of them in the East (and a few in California) and from an economic strata so far removed from need, want or real work that most of the country is opaque to them.
To put it another way, and something that should be obvious in the wake of the flaming covidiocy, is that people who have no clue where money comes from, and who could stop working tomorrow and still live better than 90% of the world, have no business being able to tell us how we are to earn a living, or in which manner we are to live our daily lives. Because they don’t know. They have no clue. And those of them who know and have a clue, are so distanced from human beings, that they have no clue that it is a bad thing to destroy the economy in this country. According to their redistributionist beliefs, they think it will mean that the wealth gets redistributed to other countries, not that everyone will become poorer and, because we produce most of the food in the world, people will starve to death.
That’s a big issue and again the result of our “government” people coming from a handful oof universities who are in possession (or possessed by) a millenialist cult.
But more important, or at least as important is the fact that our government, with its binding bureaucracy (but really most governments, anywhere) doesn’t know anything about the rest of the country.
You know all those facts and statistics they “collect?” 90% of them are wrong and the rest are misapplied. Anyone who has worked — even peripherally — for government, in those places that collect data know that the ruling deities are “I don’t know” “not my fault” and “Cover your ass.”
This means the data collected is often wrong, the reason for disasters obscured, and fault passed all around.
The way we collect death data is fairly representative of the way we collect EVERYTHING.
So, not only is a centralized government a powerful and insane giant lurching around, but it’s a powerful and insane and BLIND giant lurching around.
People who want more of that have a death wish. And the scary part of it is they won’t even get that. They will get lingering poverty and slavery. And then every thousand years, history will get destroyed so people don’t catch on to the con game. Which is how China has done it.
And here we are, fighting against a process that started before we were born (if you look at it a certain way millennia before we were born) and trying to reverse the power structure so most of it rests on the shoulders of the individuals who will suffer the consequences if they choose wrong.
It’s impossible!
Meh. We’ve done the impossible at least once before, otherwise this country wouldn’t exist. Heck, I, myself, am if not impossible fairly improbable. Think about it. What are the chances of someone born to a non-English speaking family and only learning English in her middle teens ending up writing fiction for a living in English? And what are the chances given when and where I was born, that I would join the people of Liberty?
More importantly, though it might be survivor bias, I can tell you, both in my life and the American revolution where many times that one chance in a million came through.
Impossible only betrays a lack of imagination.
We fight. We fight on. And we fight in every way possible, and in the way most advantageous at that time. Because the alternative is literally unthinkable.
Let’s achieve the impossible, ladies and gentlemen and uncouth sons of b*tches and those who aren’t ladies at all. Let’s fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And for America. Semper America.
The land of the free and the home of the brave will be so. And government that rests on the power of every individual to tell government “none of your beeswax” shall not perish from this world.
Because we say so. And we’re fairly impossible, ourselves.

The Bible tells us mankind originally lived in the Garden of Eden until the Serpent tempted Eve who led Adam astray and they were all cast out to suffer and toil in the dirt. But what if that version wasn’t strictly accurate? What if the true story was distorted through generations of oral history, then edited by dead white men employed by an imperialistic dictator with a history of failed relationships and an unhealthy fear of snakes? Wonder no longer. Herewith, the true story of the Fall of Mankind and the Loss of Eden. Well, sort of.

Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.
So what’s a vignette? You might know them as flash fiction, or even just sketches. We will provide a prompt each Sunday that you can use directly (including it in your work) or just as an inspiration. You, in turn, will write about 50 words (yes, we are going for short shorts! Not even a Drabble 100 words, just half that!). Then post it! For an additional challenge, you can aim to make it exactly 50 words, if you like.
We recommend that if you have an original vignette, you post that as a new reply. If you are commenting on someone’s vignette, then post that as a reply to the vignette. Comments — this is writing practice, so comments should be aimed at helping someone be a better writer, not at crushing them. And since these are likely to be drafts, don’t jump up and down too hard on typos and grammar.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I feel like 2020 has scoured me from the inside out. I swear this year is at least a thousand years as experienced. The person who started this year was tired, a little down. My rights being caught in the maw of a very bad contract and the company not deigning to respond to my requests for reversal were part of it. The rest was the toll of 10+ years of severe illness. You can fix it, and I’d been fixing it for the last three or four, but the scars remain. In my mid to late fifties I’m not as flexible and do not heal as fast. And I was tired.
Which of course is why looking back I smile at the earnest naivete of that summer child. Because since then I’ve seen my country put under house arrest, its citizens stripped of the rights that were the very reason of the founding. I’ve seen dubiously elected governors and mayors clamp down on the citizens who pay taxes, while freeing the criminals and letting the ferals run rampant. I’ve seen the deliberate destruction of the best nation on Earth, mankinds last and best hope.
And our internal traitors, knowing and unknowing (a lot of them are just being mean girls because it’s fun and it’s always worked before. The same with virtue signaling. And many are doing it because they’re afraid) have turned the right into painted devils, while unleashing destruction on us.
None of this is accidental. As an email sent to me this morning put it:
#1 Let’s see. China was losing the economic war with Trump and maybe facing Civil War. The Democrats lost the impeachment Then: In October China bought %75 of the questionable voting machine company. So this was just before the election and after the virus they unleashed on the world and the Antifa/BLM they funded through proxies in the USA. Even the purchase was sort of proxy. They own %75 of a UBS Asian arm that is still based in Switzerland. That’s the “proxy” that bought the voting machine company. The original CEO, a Canadian national fled his US court summons and was last seen, briefly, in Singapore before vanishing. The purchase just appeared in the published SEC filings. It was not available, even to Trump, before the election. Well played war by China. China as the source nation of Sun Tzu obviously follows his thoughts.
And my reaction to that email was “well, obviously, duh.” Let me add that the person who sent me this has reason to know about the CEO, etc.
Looking at it the pattern is masterful, and obvious. And worse for us, it worked.
Even if our courts — snort — and our judges — snort giggle — manage to find a shred of non-corruption, we are what is technically known as “fucked.” Because the media is busily convincing our dunderheads and assholes that Trump is a dictator, who will take power by force, which this win will “sort of kind of” give the appearance of, while in fact their steal is the real grab, combined with destroying our elections forever.
The enemy is within the walls, and worse, it is in a position of command.
So that’s where we are. China works this way, btw. Has throughout history. They work by corrupting and enslaving the “elites” of the countries opposing them, to objectively work for China. If you think Hunter’s laptop is an accident, I have some swamp land in FL I’d like to sell you. If you think that the news didn’t report it simply in kindloving service to the democrat party, you’re still wrong. I bet there’s laptops, tapes, evidence against every and each one of the news station heads, including Fox.
China is good at flowing the honey and then trapping the unwary insect in molasses. And to them this is highly moral, as national and racial supremacy are the highest morality to them.
But it puts us in a pickle, because our mentally deficient would-be elites will destroy us without even realizing they’re doing it, and will do anything to keep the fact they’re massively corrupt and hypocritical hidden.
That’s what they have on all the tech lords, and btw, I suspect it’s why they hate Trump so much. His peccadilloes are banal and almost endearing compared to the raw moral sewage of the Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons, and let’s not even think of what Harris has in her closet, if what’s known is that she climbed up in the world by sucking cock. So he didn’t fall into the trap. Which means the entrapped ones hate him even more.
But even with the BEST intent in the world, and if they weren’t in China’s pay and employ (they are) these people would kill us all, because they have no idea how the western economy works, or how free people work.
I’m not actually making this up, please believe me, I’m as serious as I can be: They will start with an engineered famine, but they have no clue how any of this works, and before they are done, people will die for other reasons and of other things or what makes this country live and thrive. If they get full control, within two years, I suspect more than half of America will be dead. Mind you, they might not manage it. None of their plans work as planned, because they’re not good at people and specifically they’re not food at America. But the unintentional destruction — though in spots — will be at least as bad as the intentional.
So we need to fight back. More specifically, I need to fight back.
Look, guys, I know this makes no sense whatsoever, and is not objectively true, but I’m broken in very specific ways. One of those is that in this type of situation I feel guilty for it having happened at all, like I should have prevented it. And I feel responsible for protecting everyone in its path. Which is …. on its face insane.
I bet a lot of you, by nature or training sheep dogs are feeling the same. We know what we are. We’re not good people. Frankly, we’d rather eat the flock, and be muzzle-deep in blood.
But we or something in us knows better. Something in us chose to harness the predator to defend the flock. It’s our flock. And though the predator still howls for blood, it’s wolf blood.
And we’ve been tearing ourselves apart since the lockdown happened, because we sensed the wolves rounding in that move. We sensed the threat to the flock. But we had no idea how to fix it, how to protect “ours.”
In case some of you aren’t built in this model, (and I imagine there are few of you) what happens feels a lot like going insane. The paranoia and aggression comes out, and if you can’t do anything, you rip yourself to shreds.
Well…. I depress myself to stop me hurting others. I become incredibly non-productive and depressed, and stop sleeping.
But that does nothing.
This is not a sidestep, so bear with me: Like many of you, I heard of the planned trucker strike for this last Monday. When it didn’t happen, I thought it might be one of the many rumors swirling around, the sort of thing we live in right now.
Turns out –got to love you American-born people. You are so ENDEARINGLY naive and fearless — the organizer of the group (The Wheels Stop) started the group …. on Facebook. It exploded to 70k people in a week, and then …. he called the strike off. Now, the article I read about this said he didn’t expect it to grow that much and didn’t want to be in that kind of position of leadership. What I understand (and minimal poking around confirms my suspicions) is that he and his family got threatened into his calling it off.
Which is a pity, because the planned strike emphasized ONE very important thing: anyone who rules this country, rules by consent of the governed. Not just in America, though in America it was codified, but always.
When we think about it, we think in terms of the fourth box. Because we’re Americans, and we have the power.
But the fourth box is not the only box. And if used, it catapults us into a completely different world. More importantly, it’s not up to any of us to start. It will start — or not — at some point, at some flare instance. What I’m afraid of is that those are being “spiked” somehow.
And the sheepdogs are going crazy. The smell the wolf and they can do nothing.
I woke up this morning thinking of Poland. When they’d had enough, the communists were brought down with a general strike.
Um…. Sure. UNTOLD damage and pain. But guys, less than where we’re headed with or without the fourth box.
To work it would need to be like the tea party. I don’t know how to do that. But I know some people reached by this do. They were part of and instrumental in the tea party.
And as horrible as a general strike is, it’s better than slavery to China, or CWII and better than the utter destruction of our republic and its institutions. If done, it should be done for two things “A stop on the infringement on our constitutional liberties, no matter if in the name of a virus. And a new election, free and fair. One day, purple fingers, in person, with ID. AND the ballots counted in front of everyone who desires to attend. By hand. No shenanigans.”
IF it’s done. If any of you know how to even start doing that. Some crucial industries that would turn this bitch around, even without “general” participation are, of course, transportation and food production at all levels. Even 50% stoppage will stop the nonsense (and likely bring the government as is down.) Think about it. Do what you can.
But it’s not in MY purview to do or organize. And it would be better if we have several organizations going at once. Remember our older brothers in Hong Kong. They’ve been fighting China a long time: be like water.
And in that spirit, there’s things you each can do to turn this around. They’re smaller, they take a long time, and each of you will have very little impact. Some of you will recoil from them, because they imply fighting in our own circle, and some of you will scream “we become like them.” No. We do not. This is defensive. Shooting at those who are shooting at you is not “you become like them.” It’s defensive. This is the same. If we don’t do this, they WILL win, because they’re attacking and we’re not defending.
Will it tarnish your soul? Likely. All war does, whether lethal or not. But we didn’t choose this. We’re under attack from an enemy without who has activated an enemy within. And we have to win this. We have to win it for us, for the free men and women in the world. Or we all live under the boot of China, who make Nazi Germany seem cuddly and gentle (Note to the inevitable idiots: and yes, they were pretty horrible monsters.)
So, operation Swamp Fox (a) because an American Hero b) because we’re fighting the swamp).
I’m going to give you the basics. You’re my people. you’ll improvise, innovate and imagine new ways to make things work, ways I never even thought about. So the basic maneuvers (and you’ll need to dislocate your mind a little to do some of them.)
1- Tit for tat Many of you work embedded in the liberal world. You know what these people think of us, and how they behave if they have a chance to get back at us, including a million little acts of sabotage and defiance. Well? Tit for tat. If there’s a way you can make the life of your liberal co-worker a living hell, sabotage their career, make them feel incompetent? Start now. IF you can do it without it coming back on you, do it. And do it as hard and as often as you can. “But they’re a good person” you’ll say. Oh, are they? What would they do to YOU if they knew your politics and had the chance? That’s all we’re asking for. Tit for tat. What this will do: make the organization shakier; make the leftists anywhere come across as putzes (they sabotage, belittle, etc. any out conservative which is how they’ve managed to project that “conservatives are not very smart or creative.” This is JUST pay back.); put them on edge so they make mistakes, and make themselves seem less competent. If we have to do this for four years it’s going to hurt like a mother, but we’ll make sure it hurts them more.
2- Be the Uber Karen What is that I hear? Oh, yes. You see…. Karens don’t follow their own rules very well. Have you considered walking up to the mask police and LOUDLY telling them they’re wearing their mask wrong? Same with ANY liberal you know to be so in public. MAKE them live by their rules. While you’re at it, make them live by ALL their rules. They’re writing a letter? Well, using paper is Chinese appropriation! They’re doing/wearing something sourced to another continent? Come down on them like a ton of bricks on the flimsiest excuse. They drive a car? Oh, dear. What about global warming? They have kids? But the OVERPOPULATION! Chase them around and preach their own gospel at them at the most inconvenient and bizarre times. Publicly. Loudly. What this does: the stupider ones will crack. The brighter ones might end up red pilled.
3- Bangs arm on chest “He’s OUR leader.” Go on and on about the wonderfulness of your local petty tyrant, and how they totally deserve to get the best. And how great was it — tee-he — that the election was rigged, uh? Those votes just pulled from under the table in Atlanta! (Eyes wide with admiration) There’s even video! How great is it that now our great leaders will have power forever? Notice Obama is in charge again? That’s what I mean. Isn’t it wonderful? Look at all the HEALING he managed in his time. Etc. Be as fullsome as you can. What it does: those with a shred of humanity will revolt inside and eventually it will bring them around. This works best if you are under deep cover. Seriously. They won’t know what hit them.
4- Be the ditsy aunt
This also only works if you’re deep under cover, but find all the things they don’t want the rank and file to know, and say them, with the deepest and greatest possible approval. Hunter Biden’s laptop? “Well, of course it’s true, but the media was so right in covering it up. The poor poor boy. Very difficult, all those addictions, and of course Joe took what payments he could from where he could. The poor boy needed help.” “China is so wonderful. They control their population. Oh, sure they have camps, but really, if they need to reduce population, how else to do it?”
5- NOT ONE red cent I confess my dad is responsible for this. When he turned eighty and retired he announced “My life is too short to read communists.” This one is the one that will hurt most of us. We have gotten used to consuming entertainment from the assholes. Because for a while it was all you could get. It’s time to cut back. And I feel like a total hypocrite saying this, because I read from Amazon and sell on Amazon. But I’m not saying to do it in everything, only where you have a choice. If you have a choice of whom to do business with, do it with people you know to be conservatives. Grow our own. The reason we don’t have money on the right is that asymmetrical economic warfare has been waged on our people for decades. It’s time to return fire. If you have a chance, buy from your own, and give breaks to your own. One easy thing you can do, on Amazon even, is read your own, and as much as you can avoid things from China. Starve the beast.
6- Make connections. Find the other conservatives in your circles. Make connections. This might be needed in the future. In fact, it will probably be. I don’t need to explain how or why, right?
7- Make them live up to their claimed ideals. This can be used even if the liberal is your nearest and dearest. You might think it makes no difference but a comment like “How very Hitlerian of you!” when they talk about punishing political opponents or how some people are inherently bad from birth can fester and eventually bring about a crisis of conscience. And hell, it’s worth a try.
Now go and make with it. And spread the idea to anyone you can trust. The effect of one of us doing it is minimal (though often satisfying, particularly tit for tat) but the effect of all of us doing it, much less anyone else, will be noticeable and leave a mark. And maybe weaken their position until those bigger than us take action.
So, make with Operation Swamp Fox. Let’s win our country back.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to publicly tend an apology to every conspiracy theorist ever. They were right. I was wrong. They might not have been specifically right, on what was specifically going on, but they were absolutely right when it comes to “there is stuff going on we don’t even know about, and some of it is bizarrely strange sh*t.”
At this point… Well, at this point if I find out that Heinlein’s puppet masters have landed in 1965 and have been running the show ever since, I won’t even blink. It seems more likely than my idea that the rational daylight world was true.
And then I read articles like this, from people on our side, and I wonder what they’re smoking, and why they think the real purpose is rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. I stopped reading when he mocks the idea of a Venezuelan program causing election shenanigans because “they can’t even keep the lights on.” Dude. The program was made FOR Venezuelans’s would be dictator (and was dictator) before he took the country to the shithole. That’s one. I don’t know where specifically it was made, but probably America. And probably Chinese financed. Second, even in my most innocent days, there is a fact you must understand and digest: The commies can’t govern, but they can and do seize control. They’re masters at disinformation, propaganda and dirty tricks. THAT’s all they have and it’s enough to grip countries for decades. You ignore that at your own VERY GREAT peril. Also as for “mostly legal” kindly suck what I don’t have, and I don’t care if we work for the same outfit. The fraud is mountainous, in your face and dancing naked, and you’re still trying to go “oh, my, sadly mostly legal”. WHEN will you see you’ve been taken? WHEN? I mean, every accountant and mathematician I know is screaming, and that’s without credible witnesses coming forward to talk about more tangible fraud, from ballots absconded with, to ballots made out of clear air, and you’re TRYING as hard as you can to sweep it under the rug and concede? You have a mission: you and the horse you rode in on. Go. Get to it. Because what you’re doing is worse than what the democrats are doing. They’re weasels and traitors, out for their imagined paradise, while you, you mewling worm, are trying to help them while claiming to be against them.
Sorry, but I’m sick and tired of this. A friend in chat yesterday put this better than I can myself, so I’m going to quote him:
Win or lose, honestly, if you buy this I think the Left has taken up ownership of your thoughts. If sooner or later you come around to what they propagandize as long as they push it hard enough, in defiance of the most basic common sense or prior experience, well, the big lie is working. Why should they stop? Why stop until nature itself reveals the lies, in the form of a stolen system that doesn’t work and shouts at its inmates all the time about its glorious progress to try to compensate? I don’t worry that much comparatively about the outcome of the election per se, but I worry a lot about the outcome of the election– and the future of the country– when I see some of the Right’s best and brightest trying to talk themselves into seeing five lights. Broken dignity is preferable to having no dignity to break. And really– I dunno– if time were fungible, if you could go back whenever you wanted, I have to wonder how far you’d have to walk into their madness before a moment comes that you wish you could come back to and do things differently. I’ve got this terrible vision of the Right’s intellectual class on their deathbeds, still busily assuring themselves that, well, after all, the Left COULD have a point that the dictator du jour loves their children better than they do and the sky is a construct of running-dog capitalists.
This ladies and gentlemen, very much this, is what I see in that article. I don’t actually give much of a d*mn about his point on “redistricting” because if they can steal an election this blatantly in front of our very eyes, and have our own side talk itself into accepting the theft? There is nothing we can do in the future. We have allowed ourselves to be controlled completely by possibly the dumbest would be elite to ever arise, and civilization will end inevitably, because they can’t run anything, and our side apparently just wants to believe there are no tricks or skulduggery EVER.
No. Just no. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees, but frankly, I’d rather live on my feet, and I’ll fight for that against all the “reasonable people” who want to concede the fight and lick the foot that kicks them.
To quote Samuel Adams: “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
Fortunately that magnificent bastard that is our president is on our side, and he’s neither giving up nor surrendering.
The president of the United States should be able to say “I have an announcement for the nation” and then give his speech. So why didn’t that happen? Some timeline glitches indicate this was written 2 weeks ago. My guess is they were trying, but the so called news were too busy fawning over Joe and the Ho. Stolen elections? That doesn’t make no never mind. Look, he has dogs.
It’s time to fight back with all we have. First, by disseminating this speech as far and fast as you can. Five million views are rookie numbers. Make with sharing it EVERYWHERE.
And meanwhile, since AG Barr sees no evidence of fraud, I suggest we as Americans, the most helpful people on the planet, send him used lenses, and glasses. (I have a few laying around. But if you don’t, there’s always the very cheap ones from the drugstore.) Let’s help him SEE the fraud. Go. We win when they ask us not to send more glasses. DO IT.
I’ve been depressed — oh, I know, no one noticed, right? Like when I start doing posts about the apocalypse — and worried, and very much out of sorts.
I mean, the problem is essentially this: if they manage to fraud their way in, with the most blatant fraud, not just in the history of America, but possibly in the history of the world, what are we going to do?
Logically, there’s only one thing to do, and that’s move on to the next box, once they took the ballot box out of our reach But when will it happen? Will it happen? Can it happen in a way that the first person isn’t demonized and destroyed by both sides? (Actually I think when the left got scared was when we didn’t turn on and denounce Kyle Rittenshouse.)
And then there’s the consideration that perhaps this is just the masks coming down.
Look, I know you guys think I’m crazy when I say that only 10 to 25% of the democrat votes are REAL votes. But think about it: think about forcing Joe-the-houseplant in, and then giving him one of the least appealing running mates possible. And then running a potemkin campaign mostly from the basement.
Tell me what kind of confidence you need to have in your ability to fraud to do that? Honestly, I think they have college professors, stupid young kids who mostly don’t vote, and other than that that a lot of people virtue signal as lefty, but either aren’t or just don’t vote. Oh, and the press which lends to potemkin edifice an air of plausibility.
So, yeah, that sounds insane, but tell me if it’s not more insane to pull the sh*t they’ve pulled, and constantly run on a platform of “We hate you, vote for us” when they bother to run at all if they DON’T have that kind of fraud machinery.
I’ll be honest, okay, guys? I think industrial fraud has put real voting out of our reach for a long time. I’m not even sure W’s wins were really “genuine” or more the loyal and allowed opposition being allowed to pretend to be in charge, since ultimately, it made no difference. Trump? Utter freak accident, and they weren’t prepared for it. They’d deliberately got us who they thought was the worst possible candidate. …. And people voted for him. Hence their confidence before the election and their utter shock after.
And they went so completely out of their minds and really hate us so much for pulling that one on them, that they’ve been throwing a naked rage-fit for four years, and doing what they can to hurt America and secondarily to drive Orangemanbad off. And 2020 has been like the expression of how much they hate and despise us. Yeah, at the top the lockdowns were driven by Chinese agents (this is not under dispute) but the left loves them, embraces them and keeps resorting to them because it destroys small business owners, families and well…. Americans. The fact that they only do this in places they control tells you they hate EVERYONE in America, and also that the fraud is substantive enough they fear no punishment.
So…. are we going to fight for our liberties? Is the fourth box on the program? I’d like to think so. Not because I’m a fan of war and destruction, but because there are worse things than war, and the destruction of the land of liberty from within is one of those, as is our conversion into a boot to stomp on the face of the world (and if you guys missed the “I want to start three new wars” in Slow Joe’s Acceptance of Theft Speech trust me, it was there. And it’s what he wants. Or what his handlers want. Same dif. None of wars are, of course, against his owners, the Chinese. If anything, Joe will take us to war to support Chinese hegemonic ambitions.)
But the fact remains at the individual level there’s not much we can do. Friends who are perhaps more naive than I (but don’t believe they are) tells me the side that starts the dance takes the blame. I’m not sure that is true anymore. Not after that blatant in-your-face fraud. Not after the covidiocy of 2020. But …. maybe it is?
And if it isn’t, how does one start it? Not a single man defending himself. Not even a series of coordinated attacks, and that might be beyond the reach of the individualists who fail to organize.
This type of conflagration starts …. weirdly, and usually due to the official forces employing bizarre force against citizens. FYI that’s what the left was trying to start with the “protests” this summer, because they have two basic beliefs: one that if there’s an uprising it will be on their side; two that the downtrodden who aren’t voting for them are actually on their side, and just need to have it shown to them how to “rise up” and then will do it. (That was all what Occupy Wall Street was all about. An absolute belief that if they seeded Marxist revolution it would grow.)
Trump didn’t respond as they expected. I mean, they made much of how mean he was to send federal troops to protect federal property, but there wasn’t the kind of general melee where they could shoot a few of their own (preferably a pregnant woman: hello Kent State!) and claim that evil “fascists” had done it, which of course, would spark general revolution. They tried to make do with Kyle Rittenhouse, and scared themselves when the American people applauded the — rather heroic — young man. But it didn’t break their illusions, because those are baked into everything they are and believe. They can’t stop believing the people will rise up for their side. (I wonder if China shares the same delusion. I mean, it’s same basic gospel, right?)
However, by the same token, they’ll probably start the next dance. I don’t think they can help themselves. Do you think they’re going to let us mean people disrupt the frauded ones inauguration by turning it into the biggest Trump rally in history? H*ll no. They’ll call out troops against unarmed citizens. Or they’ll arrest Trump and have him not kill himself in jail. Or– I honestly don’t think they can help themselves.
The people who took the narrative that “revolutionaries topple statues” and went on a random statue toppling spree which included an elk, aren’t precisely rational. They’re in fact maleducated idiots (which doesn’t mean they might not have high IQs) running while in possession of a cargo cult. Which is why so much of what they do has a weird ritualistic non-rational quality, a “we’re cosplaying the revolution” feel, or perhaps a “If we do a/b will happen” even though those two only seem related because of their superficial understanding of history and their distorted beliefs.
Therefore, never fear, they’ll start it at the first sign of mass resistance, refusal to wear the muzzle of shame, or perhaps refusing to stay closed and starve to death in the service of their “climate emergency.”
But until then? If you’re like me, you have a stone in your stomach, and a bolus of undigested rage at the fact they’re trying to tell you to believe them and not your lying eyes. (And even more rage at the idiots on our side who buy it.)
There’s only so long you can stand around, waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting for the rough music to start, waiting….
I called for the toy box before. I.e. go Simon Jester on them. Make fun of them. Protest songs, funny cartoons. Of course I called for disseminating the truth, too.
But I wasn’t FULLY thinking. Today O’Keefe dropped tapes of CNN’s editorial meetings. And that’s devastating for CNN but it’s also HILARIOUS. Because the same people who released unauthorized Melania tapes are now threatening people releasing THEIR unauthorized tapes with the police.
And you know, it hit me that this is the most brittle, incompetent and RIDICULOUS would be elite in the history of the world. Seriously, even the pre-revolution French nobility, with towering hairstyles that included miniature ships were more in touch with reality than these people. The very fact they believe in the Great Reset tells you they don’t know where food (or anything) comes from, don’t get humans and can’t understand unintended consequences.
I mean really, conceive of people like this who think what they’re saying isn’t hilarious:
No, seriously. Rule “by the best” has been such a disaster in the history of mankind, but now he has the solution: he’s going to use KIDS. Bright kids. Indoctrinated in the best bullsh*t.
Seriously, guys, I was …. gifted (mumbles as her IQ is no one’s business) but at sixteen I believed crazy cakes stuff, such as that we could have a better world if we just abolished money. Or… well, actually a lot of the crazy stuff our supposed “elites” believe. Such as that the world has too many people, or that our activities are going to cause us to freeze to death within a year or too. Or bake to death. Whichever.
So, you know– what kind of adult believes it’s a good idea to put these kids in charge?
Look, I DO understand that the left is — quite literally — beyond parody. Our heart bleeds for the heroic folk at The Babylon Bee, bravely staying ahead of current events.
BUT that is also their weak point. They take themselves so extremely seriously. And they live in an echo chamber where everyone tells them how smart and wonderful they are, besides having long since captured the institutions that give the outer wrappings of success and brilliance: awards, medals, etc. (I mean, look, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for existing, but Trump couldn’t win it for bringing peace to the oldest war spot in the world. And that’s supposed to be the big awards.)
So…. make fun of them.
I’ve already seen a fellow survivor of leftist oppressing trying to tell people how to stay quiet, so they’ll survive.
But I made my choice long ago. I’d rather go out on my feet than live on my knees. If they fraud their way in, DO NOT give them one moment’s rest.
Highlight their bizarre stupidity (Biden’s proposed appointments are already good for that!) and their slips, and every one of their illusions. Puncture their self-adulation. Throw rotten fruit. Figuratively. And make sure they’re humorous vegetables.
Look, this reminds me of a Pratchett passage pointing out vampires have come back from the grave and the crypt and the desert, but they’ve never yet come back from the cat. In the same way, these self-important would-be oligarchs can hide (kind of) evidence of their crimes, shrug off insults, and scream back at those who scream at them.
They’re very good at reversing victim and aggressor.
But they can’t take a joke.
So, my friends, while we wait for the rough music to start, on with the motley!
Make jokes about these idiots. Make jokes about the unlikely amount of fraud. Make with the memes comparing Kamala to the Joker (unfavorably. I mean, poor joker.)
Have at it. Do you know why no one has found the remains of Atlantis? They gave the appearance to AG bar to investigate. He says there’s no evidence Atlantis ever sank. As far as he knows, its beaches are only wet, not enough to make a difference.
The best part of this? Whether the rough music starts or not, the left cannot live with mockery. They don’t know what to do about it. They’re the mean bullies, who’ve always been told everyone needs to respect their self-esteem.
And they’re about to find out this isn’t their playground.
Hello again, everyone. This is Amie Gibbons. Urban fantasy and paranormal romance author, cat mom, and most importantly for today’s post, political nut and lawyer!
The lawyer hat is on, so I have to say none of this is actual legal advice and is not to be taken as such. These are the political opinions (and rants because I’m pissed off!) of this humble lawyer today.
These views also most certainly do not reflect the views of my employer and have nothing to do with them. Why? Because (nervous chuckle) they might fire me if they see this and I don’t have my political self as distanced as humanly possible from my job and make it real fuckin’ clear this is me speaking just for myself and not them. Don’t know what my lawyer job is? Good, you can’t report me. Know what it is? Don’t report me, because I like my job, and I’m buying a house and kinda (really) need the income. I’m nowhere near quit the day job money in author earnings, especially not after the shit show of 2020, trust me 😐
Alright, have I sufficiently covered my ass? Probably not, because I live in the world of lawyers; we’ll always find a hole in the CYA armor to take out our pound of meaty ass flesh if we’re really motivated to, but hell, here goes.
We all know there is fuckery afoot with the votes for the Presidential election! Anyone paying attention, even the people who voted for Slow Joe and the Legal Hoe have to know that. A good breakdown of the numbers on the fuckery is in this post by Larry. Larry’s day job was accountant for years before he went full time author, so he knows a numbers orgy when he sees one. I’m going to leave it at that since he summed it up pretty damn well. I’m also going to have to leave my whole rant on the virus stupidity out because this post got way too long. That’ll be a different post, because I want to rant about that bullshit and it paving the way for stealing this election. 😊
(Warning, there will be a lot of cursing in here. I talk like this when I think I’m being funny and lending an emphatic note to certain points. But mostly I’m just fucking pissed off and scared.)
First of all, and I can’t believe I have to say this, but I’m gonna shout real fucking loud for those lurking in the back of this site just to troll us “crazy, rightwing conspiracy theorists.” THE MEDIA DOES NOT CALL THE ELECTION! No, non, nein, nyeht. We are the knights who say nie!
It ain’t on to the next step till the Supreme Court sings. At the end of the day, if after their rulings (which no, I don’t actually think will happen in time to be effective to change anything in this election, but I’m a pessimist) the Electoral College votes are still up in the air (which are based on the votes and laws in that State, which is one reason presidential elections can get so messy), and after that, if no one gets the necessary majority of votes of 270, then it ain’t over till The House sings.
The below is directly taken from The Constitution of these United States of America. (Which still holds up for now, but if Harris gets into office (If you think Biden will be president for over a year before he conveniently dies then, Hahahahaha, you are retarded, my friend) will probably be rewritten with the rest of our history a la 1984. For one, they have to take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, and we all know libtards wipe their asses with that.
Get a copy of the Constitution including all Amendments now before the pigs take over and teach the sheep to say 2 legs baaaaaad. It probably won’t take long for them to get a real good forger. I personally want a big exact replica of the real Constitution framed on the wall of my new house, hopefully they’ll still be selling those when I have money again. Hint hint, what I want for Christmas 😉)
Article II Section 1:
“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
Then add the part as amended by the 12th Amendment:
“The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.”
Then add the part as amended by the 20th Amendment:
“Section 1.
The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.”
“Section 3.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”
That’s the Presidential Election process. Now, what does this mean in English? That’s why I’m here. The lawyer is supposed to translate Legalese into English for people. (Just like reporters who are supposed to gather information and translate it in condensed bites of truth to the masses, but hey, at least now lawyers can legitimately claim that even taken as a whole, we have more integrity than fucking reporters.) I will do my best, it’s been… er, longer than I want to admit to myself, since I took Constitutional Law in law school.
The Electors who do the actual voting on the president are chosen in a manner dictated by that state, and they cast their votes, this year it’s on December 14th. That’s why when you vote, it asks if you’re voting for the Electors for person A or person B, instead of if you’re voting for A or B.
Usually, the one with the majority of votes in a state gets all the state’s Electoral votes. There are some variations technically possible, like if the Electors decide to go rogue and vote for the person besides the one who got the majority of votes. There are laws against this in a lot of states, and off the top of my head, it doesn’t really happen enough to change an election, but it could. That’s why who gets the majority in a state is so important. 270towin has a good page summarizing what happens in case of an Electoral College tie.
We don’t go off of straight vote counts, we have a winner takes all system for each state, except for in Nebraska and Maine, they’re weird, but probably a better representation of what the people want because it slices up the state into Electoral votes based on Congressional districts in that state.
Like if A gets the majority in the state, he gets 2 votes, and then each Congressional district has its own electoral vote and the winner takes all in that one district. That’s how they get split votes for the state. If they did this in say, California, it would water down the blue on the West Coast a lot because the less populated Congressional Districts to the east would mostly be going red, and that would mean blue would get their 2 votes of popular vote and the votes from those big, blue districts, but red would pick up a few more in the other districts. But I digress.
(As an aside, NO, I am not suggesting we get rid of the Electoral College. If we went by straight popular vote across the country, the big city Dems would take our assess down, chop them off, and distribute them to those with less ass, because they would be a socialist system. I’m suggesting we take pages from Nebraska’s and Maine’s books, and start doing state split votes so the big cities don’t rule all presidential elections in states like New York and California.
The whole point of the Electoral College was and still is to keep a chunk of people in one part of the country from passing decrees down upon the rest of us, when we have very different problems, solutions, and beliefs throughout this great land of ours. This is also why States were the building blocks of the country and had a lot more power than they do now, because one size does not fit all in the big and beautiful beast that is America. That’ll have to be a different blog post, this one’s already long.)
Anyway, back to the election process as it is today. People vote, States count votes, if they’re close, they can be recounted because it’s easy to miscount a few thousand votes out of millions, and then they send their Electors to do the actual vote, and it mostly follows what the popular vote for that state reflected.
In this election, Scotus Blog Election Litigation Tracker is a good site for where the cases in different states are in the courts for how things are counted, or to be recounted, because this all is still being fought in the courts. (Thank you, President Trump for still fighting. I don’t care if you don’t like him, ya gotta respect the iron will to keep up this fight in the courts and running down every possible legal lead.) And here’s an up to date article summarizing how the Trump Campaign is still fighting, and one on the lawsuit asserting the Voter System servers were rigged.
For Trump to take the stolen states, he’d have to prove the fraud very quickly in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, then figure out how to show that he would win without those fraudulent votes, if the fraudulent ones could even be counted up because at this point, how would we prove which ones were faked, and do it all by the time the Electors meet to vote, or by Jan 20th. (I think those are the major states with fuckery afoot, but it’s just off the top of my head from all the political crap my brain has been eating the past few weeks.)
Let’s say he does prove enough fraud, or get counts in those states stalled long enough to be able to do so in Court, so that the counts are not in pushing Biden over the 270 Electoral votes (No, I have no clue how any of that would shake out because we are living a historical election right now, and we will be seeing landmark elections cases dictating future elections coming out of this mess) or some Electors go against what their state voted for, which they may do considering the obvious fraud running rampant throughout their states, then it would go to the House. BTW, no matter how this election process goes, it will put 1876’s election to shame by the time the dust settles.
If it goes to the House, then look at the wording of the 12th Amendment, each state gets 1 vote. (Hehehe, those big city populations won’t help you here, Dems. 😊)
We may have another deal being brokered behind the scenes to settle this by January. In 1876, that’s basically what happened. Hayes and Tilden ran against each other, and the electoral votes shook out to 184 for Tilden to 165 for Hayes, with 20 votes from 4 contested states still up in the air. The parties struck a deal to give the 20 disputed votes to Hayes in return for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, thus ending Reconstruction.
If Trump’s campaign can prove enough fraud in our disputed states to keep those electoral votes from being counted outright, then we may have another 1876, where some kind of compromise gets struck to hand the election to one or the other, and no, we the people will not have a say in it, though some kind of compromise would be better for us than the Dems stealing the whole damn enchilada.
At this point, I can not say how any of this will go. There are court cases over state elections’ rules on mail in ballots, on proving fraud in the voting machines, and on how the ballots were counted because there are allegations of red poll watchers being locked out in some states, so that calls a lot of states’ actual votes into question. After that, there’s still the Electoral College, where if enough go rouge, aka “unfaithful,” plus the uncertainty in the states’ counts, might bring us to a toss up election where we really can’t tell who won.
So right now, I honestly can not say what will happen with any of this.
I can say this. If you claim to be pro liberty, pro self-defense, and pro free markets, but you voted for the socialists and are cheering because it looks like their cheating is paying off…
Pass your freedom card forward, put on your pussy hat, and take your public transit, because you can’t afford a car under socialism, to go stand in line for government rations.
Because you are dismissed, comrade.

Again, this is Amie Gibbons, we are fighting the good fight through grassroots efforts, getting involved with national politics, and writing damn good books that speak to the hearts of humans about freedom, liberty, free will, and what authoritarian governments do to all those beautiful things.
The world ends all the time. On the regular. And then a new world begins. Most people don’t notice.
But then there’s moments where what was, all the patterns of life you were used to get burned before your eyes, in real time.
And sometimes you don’t dare talk about it. Other times you talk about it, but no one listens, because the entire thing is so bizarre, you’re a little shell shocked and afraid to make any guesses as to what has shattered your reality so completely. You can’t say anything. You don’t even dare. Because you sound like a lunatic, when in fact, it is the world that’s gone insane. Or at least the people driving the bizarre changes.
On 9/11 I remember sitting in front of the TV, while people talked about how everything had changed and wondering if they were right. I mean, I was hurt, grief stuck, but not really feeling that earth-shattering change that everyone was predicting.
And in fact, except for a long war we weren’t allowed to win, a brief disruption in flight patterns, and the curse of yet another federal bureaucracy and another intrusion on our constitutional rights….. life went on, pretty much the way it had before. Maybe a little crazier.
I’m not discounting, mind, the horror of 9/11. But life, as life, didn’t change, and unless your real-estate was in a certain area of NYC, neither did it.
These last seven months, though, I’ve kept thinking “I wonder if — 9/11 not having worked to destroy us — someone is having another go.”
And I can’t even really guess whom, because I can’t think that China was behind 9/11.
On the other hand, perhaps we owe the Truthers an apology. Only an apology of sorts, though. I mean, beyond the fact that fire does — in fact — melt steel, there are far bigger problems with their theory, including the fact that a conspiracy of that magnitude wouldn’t be silenced, and that frankly, Republicans, even eGOP aren’t very good at conspiracies.
On the other hand, they were absolutely right about the idea that there’s absolutely NOTHING governments won’t do to attain and keep power, as we’ve seen in 2020: from a virus whose lethality and effects are grossly exaggerated to produce panic, to the rigging of elections in such a way that the people have effectively stopped having a say in their governance.
Which brings us to the end of the world. My world at least.
Periodically, for good and sufficient reason, we have to venture to the center of Denver… which now looks like nothing I could have imagined in January 2020.
I have read a lot of books set during or just after World War II in London (mostly mysteries. It just so happened some of the great mystery writers were working there, at that time.) I am familiar with the tone of “Everything changed. It’s a different landscape. If I’d known this was coming, I’d have done– I’d have visited — I’d have enjoyed–“
At some point one of you guys said something about after New Year’s we’ll wake up in January 2020. And I thought “Oh, that would be lovely. I’d at least have two and a half months to say goodbye to all the places we loved, the things we enjoyed doing, the city that — despite it making no sense — I loved as my hometown.”
Because that’s the worst thing, you know? I ‘ve lived in this area for over thirty years. I always intended to go for high tea at the Brown Palace, but we never had time/opportunity/whatever. And now the area isn’t even safe, and, oh, yeah, we’re locked again and can’t possibly do this. And when/if we’re let out of unconstitutional mass-imprisonment the chances of it (or any of our other favorite places) being around are very very low. I mean, the estimates are 75% of restaurants will close. Other places? Who knows?
The zoo, the museums, all send us continuous appeals for money, but seriously? How many people can donate to the facilities they can’t visit? I mean, really, the botanic gardens demand we wear masks — outside. with minimal occupancy. And no, I’m not about to do that. And I don’t think I’m alonne.
And again, all this was commanded in the name of not very much. All over the world. Coordinated. On no scientific evidence whatsoever. (No, there is no scientific evidence of any kind that masks and lockdowns help slow (much less stop) Covid-19 or in fact any other respiratory virus. There is a lot of Chinese flim flam about it, but again — seriously — who believes China, at this point? Take the distancing: six feet here, three feet in Europe. What’s the science in this? Masks? What is meant by masks? Because apparently 17 layer masks do have a barely perceptible effect. But the largely decorative fabric over mouth? yeah, none. If the idea is to stop us from sneezing on each other, perhaps just “Don’t sneeze on other people” which worked for swine flu, as much as anything else.)
Now, if this were a minor thing, if they were requesting we cough into our elbows, or perhaps blasting the airways with hand washing public service announcements, it would be annoying, but forgivable.
Instead, they’re reaching into every one of our lives, and changing the way we live. They’re destroying businesses and restaurants that it took a lifetime to build. They’re destroying education — or at least what passes for it — and ripping apart entire industries. They’re taking us back to a time when flying is something the very rich do.
And all for what? So people don’t catch a disease which has a 98.5% chance of survival? (MUCH higher than that if you only count those younger than 65.) And that from tested cases, which are mostly people who display SOME symptoms.
Yes, I am a terrible person. Indeed. I want grandma to die, indeed. Or not. Because how long do you think that a society that is hard-core destroying its wealth and its ability to feed itself going to be able to keep grandma alive? The third world is already starving, due to our spasm of idiocy. How long till it reaches us? Take a guess. It depends, of course, on whether we allow people to be beyond our reach, electorally.
Speaking of which, we in Colorado have had vote by fraud er…. mail for about a decade. Which means, generally speaking, our governors and mayors can do whatever they please and not fear being run out of power.
What they choose to do is illustrative.
Denver, particularly the very expensive urban areas, is not just being destroyed by the lockdowns — I mean, who is going to spend good money to rent in an area of town known for conventions, when the convention center is now a giant homeless shelter? Which restaurant — should it survive — will choose to stay downtown, when there are feral homeless camping in every sidewalk and parking lot? Which museums will survive, when people get shot on the street in front of them.
It seems like a memory from another life, that as little as a year ago, we ran across downtown Denver at night, to get to our favorite German restaurant (we couldn’t get parking closer.) I now wouldn’t cross those streets in the full light of day.
Think about it. Those areas were expensive real estate. For all I know they still are, but who would want to buy there?
And what kind of government WILLINGLY Detroitizes its city?
Unless of course, they don’t give a damn. And they’re mad at you, the people, because they know that without their extensive fraud apparatus, you’d kick them out in… a Denver minute.
Now contemplate that regime all over our fair land…..
I mean, if I weren’t on this here sinking ship, I’d laugh at the faces in Europe, when they realize that their cheering of American progressives means — largely — that they’ll starve, or get bossed by Russia and China.
But be fair, their surprise will be very brief, since the US has fed most of the world for decades and if we stop doing it, there won’t be much that survives.
And for us, none of this is funny.
A curious observation: in the most affected neighborhoods in Denver, the Biden/Harris signs have multiplied SINCE the election. At least doubled, maybe more. Also BLM signs have appeared everywhere.
They should be honest and put a up a sign saying “eat me last!” It would have the virtue of frankness and help about as much. Perhaps more, since it might make the looters and vandals laugh.
What do you do when the world ends, and what comes after is unimaginably horrible? Other than determine to fight on, no matter how little you can do?
Nothing, I guess. Save mourn for the completely bizarre destruction, the wanton callousness that murdered a world that worked.
And refuse to kneel and beg.
Remember you’re Americans. They can destroy our world, but they can’t make us anything else.
It’s time for massive civil disobedience. It’s time to show them what we think of their illegitimate rule.
Hurt or not, Americans do not kneel. Not while we’re alive.
