“It’s my pot pie!” – South Park
After you’ve killed the last vampire, I guess it’s you’ve got the final Count down.
- Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
- People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology. Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
As tempted as I am to move the clock because of the party-line impeachment inquiry vote, I’m going to hold at Stage 7 this month. A more formal set of structure needs to be in place to get to Stage 8.
The French Civil War lasted a very long time. Those guys just couldn’t win.
In this issue: Front Matter – Violence and Censorship Update – Civil War II Goes Mainstream –– Updated Civil War II Index – Starvation (via Yer Ol’ Woodpile Report) – Links
Welcome to Issue Six of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War II, on the first Monday of every month. Issue One is here (LINK), Issue Two is here (LINK), Issue Three is here (LINK), Issue Four is here (LINK) and Issue Five is here (LINK).
Violence and Censorship Update
Just once I’d like to come back and report that things were looking good for censorship, that, hey, life is getting better. October 2019 was not that month. In October, Twitter® made the announcement that they were not going to accept advertisements from political candidates anymore. That’s good. Last election I voted based on yard signs. I think I voted for my realtor.
That sounds fairly even-handed. But Twitter© engages in soft censorship as well, limited the reach of many tweets, most of them on the Right. If asked, I’m sure the Twitter© would indicate, innocently, that “it was the algorithm” that was responsible.
That’s a pretty little lie fancy way of saying, “we don’t like your speech so we’re going to tune the computers to allow less of it.”
Also deleted this month was Red Ice, a 330,000 subscriber channel on YouTube®. Since that was a main source of income (via sales) it hits the creators economically. Paypal® banned “street artist” Sabo. They’re hanging on to his money for six months They paid him after the bad publicity (LINK). In the article, they have a link to a poster he was selling on (Regr)Etsy™? Funny, not available on (Regr)Etsy© anymore. It’s almost like he’s . . . censored.
Do not, for an instant, think that payment sites, video sites, and social media sites are anything but Leftist sites. If you are on the Right, they want you to be silent. If you won’t shut up, what condition do you think they want you in?
I love this video – it shows the real way that censorship works – when the ideas are censored, your mind replaces the censored material with something that was likely more exciting than the original material. Censorship will backfire. I too, love to BLEEP all day.
Civil War II Goes Mainstream
I heard once upon a time that couples who don’t divorce, don’t talk about divorce. It’s as if the idea of the divorce wasn’t even allowed to enter the room. The logic, I suppose, is that once you talk about divorce, it becomes one step closer to being real. In that way, a divorce in New Mexico, a tornado in Oklahoma, and a civil war in the United States all have something in common – someone is losing a trailer home.
On more than one occasion this month Drudge® (yes, I know) has featured stories on the United States being near the outbreak of a Civil War. Most of the articles really didn’t read the study; in it, it asked, on a scale of 1=peace and 10=war, where are we in the United States. This is exactly the scale I developed in Issue One of the Weather Report. I have us pegged at a 7. So does the average respondent in the linked (LINK) survey. I don’t know any social science jokes – I took chemistry instead. And my chemistry jokes never got a reaction.
So, yeah. 7 out of 10 on the Civil War scale. It’s not just you. It’s not just me. This poll shows that everyone feels we’re headed this way, and most people feel we’re about the same distance from crossing into chaos. I hope it’s not chaotic like the Mexican Civil War where they ended up fighting Juan-on-Juan.
This month we are one year out from the 2020 presidential election. I think if the Democrats had any confidence in one of their candidates beating Trump, there would be no official impeachment inquiry in the House – this is an emergency effort. If you go back and read my previous posts, I was pretty skeptical that we’d see impeachment proceedings in 2019/2020. But here we are, so take all of my predictions with a grain of salt. There are several outcomes we can review at this point:
Senate Clears Trump, Trump Wins: Probably the most likely scenario as of this writing, and also the most amusing.
Outcome: I can foresee that one way where we tiptoe through this crisis without collapse is that Trump wins and somehow avoids the twin specters of public Balkanization (Left and Right) and economic downfall. More likely? Four more years of divided government, where Trump is thwarted at every turn by activist judges that hate (certain) laws being enforced with increasing deficit spending. Expect increasing street violence. Regardless: Trump will be the Last President (Trump: The Last President?).
Senate Clears Trump, Trump Loses: The second most likely scenario, although in this case I simply cannot see a Democratic candidate that won’t whither under the Twitter®fied gaze of Trump. However, Silicon Valley® is doing everything it can to pull all of the oxygen it can away from Trump – it has deleted account after account of followers on the Right for comments that followers on the Left routinely get away with.
Outcome: This emboldens the Left. They think they have already won. I would anticipate an attempt to immediately erase everything Trump did, up to and including stacking the Supreme Court. Attempting to push too far, too fast tips the economy. Things get spicy, quickly.
Elizabeth Warren would lose the election to a drawer full of socks. I think she can taste defeat.
Senate Convicts Trump, Democrat Win in 2020: The third most likely scenario. Which democrat? Elizabeth Warren? Creepy Joe?
Outcome: This also emboldens the Left, perhaps even more than Trump being acquitted. In this they would have their dream of the last three years come true. The Democratic party is already split, between the Legacy Left (think Biden, Pelosi) and the True Left (think AOC and the Teen Girl Squad). This puts the True Left into control. The True Left likes what’s going on in Venezuela and Cuba. Gotta break a few eggs to get to the Worker’s Paradise, right comrade?
Senate Convicts Trump, Republican Win in 2020: The least likely scenario of the four, and also the weirdest of the four.
Outcome: The Republicans would be in disarray after a conviction. In fact, I think in more ways than one, Trump has ripped apart the Republican party from within and exposed people like Mittens Romney as the “me too, but let’s wait a year” wing of the Democratic party. I’d be surprised if Mittens isn’t writing articles titled, “The Conservative Case for Redistribution of the Means of Production to the Proletariat,” and, “Transgender Surgery for Minors – A True Conservative Value.” The Left would be even more outraged that yet another election was stolen, and would push back even harder.
Are there other scenarios? Sure – we are in a time where people think we’re 70% of the way to Civil War. That could lead to things normally reserved for Third World countries where the President-for-life wears a fancy uniform with lots of medals. Coups. Military juntas. Trump calling out tanks in the streets. A ninth season of Game of Thrones.
Updated Civil War II Index
I’ve been teasing graphs for two months – here they are, with full bikini treatment.
Violence:
Up is bad. Violence is up overall during the year. I would have expected that it would have peaked in the summer, but, no. It’s staying high. I expect real riots in June and July of 2020. Potentially there will be riots at both national conventions – the Republicans in North Carolina, the Democrats in Wisconsin. I expect that the Republican National Convention in 2028 will be held in a Ramada Inn® in northwestern Montana. The Democrats? Probably a reinforced bunker in an undisclosed location.
Political Instability:
Up is bad. Surprisingly, down a little from September, but still quite high. Actual action on impeachment will increase this, especially if resolve fails in the Senate.
Economic:
Down is bad. Weird things are going on in the economy. Interest rates in many countries are negative(!), yet mortgage rates went up last month. High interest rates in mortgages will lead to housing price declines. And the last time that happened . . . .
Illegal Aliens:
Down is good, since (in theory) ICE is catching fewer aliens because there are fewer people trying to get in. Trebuchets would get that number to zero in an afternoon.
Starvation (via Yer Ol’ Woodpile Report)
“As in all war, food would be weaponized in a Civil War II. We don’t have to go back to antiquity for examples, more recent events provide a long list . . . .”
Remus talks about this in issue 600 (LINK) and issue 601 (LINK) of Yer Ol’ Woodpile Report. These would be good to read and share with friends.
History and cold calculation suggest food would be a weapon in a Civil War II, one of many, but of prime importance long term. Civil wars have long gestations, go kinetic suddenly and get complicated in a hurry. We have no firm knowledge what would set it off, who would be actively involved or how it would end. But the outlines are repeated well enough to guide our preparations.
The ruling class already treats middle America as this century’s Untermensch. Nothing is off the table in a civil war. Seizing the nation’s food would be an obvious move. Expect them to deploy troops to secure big ag and the necessary transportation facilities, destroy anyone who got in their way and terrorize potential troublemakers. But there’s a limit to even the deep state’s resources. Prudent survivalists in the far hills wouldn’t warrant their attention, they’d be more likely to trade shots with desperados than find themselves in a firefight with regular forces.
Food is the indispensable survival prep. At minimum this means a secure long-term stash of high calorie food sufficient to outlast the initial violence and privation without relying on resupply. Call it a year, maybe two.
The United States is one of the most spoiled blessed countries on Earth. Calories here are cheap and abundant, and very few people in the United States have ever felt real hunger at all. Starvation is such a non-problem that there is no statistics for people in the United States who have died of starvation. The biggest complaints is that people live in “food deserts” where the only things they can get are processed foods, which make them fat. More like “food desserts” than food deserts.
Are there hungry people in the United States? Certainly. Are there many starving people? Certainly not. Obesity in children is a far bigger problem. Oops. Was that insensitive? Larger problem?
Beefcake!
Hunger is a potent weapon. Food is, by any historical calculation, amazingly cheap now. Stocking up 3,000 calories per day for a person for a year could be done for $500 – if you really like rice. Flour is cheaper – $250 or so. For a year. It’s not a lot of variety, but it’s way better than starving. Here’s a great website that breaks down food on the basis of how many calories you can buy for a dollar (LINK). How much would you like to have if the trucks stopped coming to the local store?
Check out The Bison Prepper (LINK) for ideas on frugal prepping when dollars matter. Time might be short.

The future should be interesting. Somewhat normal people dealing with idiots and freaks is what I see. If Democrats won the next election, how many people would say screw it to listening to anything they say or want to do. The actions of the last Election and not accepting the election results will have bad ramifications that will continue into the future. I don’t see any articles about the damage being done by this.
Be wary of babyshit.
Especially in 2020.
“Epstein didn’t kill himself” is the new thing huh?
Typical Commie brain drain.
“Epstein didn’t kill himself” This is a mindfuck incomplete sentence that mal-informs the reader by conveying one narrow statement while spewing ambiguity and needlessly inviting questions.
By contrast, “Epstein didn’t kill himself, who did?” and “Epstein didn’t kill himself, he’s still alive.” are both *incorruptible* and complete.
Shutting you trap is also incorruptible, but lousy Communists like to open their traps even more than free thinkers.
“Blank killed Epstein” would be the shortest and most concise of all. No “outs” there. Reactionary communists like to have an out.
If any supposedly important statement is less descriptive or complete than it demonstrably could be, that’s a potential red flag.
Epstein didn’t kill himself (mindfuck inconclusive gobbledygook)
Epstein didn’t kill (even less concise)
Epstein didn’t (even less concise)
Epstein (the only word you cannot erase in this exercise)
Nobody erased Epstein.
I’ve got better things to do than shovel Communist shit into the dustbin bin of history, so I’m off to go help shovel someone elses shit.
NO MORE DOOM PORN!
The CIA killed Epstein.
Michael Mann killed Zack Lowman

I just killed a bottle of wine.
Did you hear they found one of these near Epstein’s head?
Maggie..
You get funnier by the day. That’s good stuff. If only they would arrest him on suspicion and keep him for awhile.
Babyshit? Don’t you see what’s happening right before your eyes?
Normal people are being forced to confront a truth they can’t let themselves see. I think it’s fucking hilarious this Conspiracy Fact is forcing its way into the main stream. I think the method of its spread is fascinating. This is the opposite of the decades of leftist subversion we have endured and it’s working. You should be watching the meme wars as they occur and enjoying the wrenching, disjointed chaos they cause the left. Campaigns, like It’s OK To Be White, are hilarious because they create a damned-if-you-do/damned-if-you-don’t choice for libtards, forcing them to choose between two unpalatable choices: tacit admission of the truth it IS OK to be white, or proving they’re anti-white racists. The more of these meme campaigns we see, the more the public is forced to face truths they’ve ignored. Today at work, everyone I talked to was aware of the Epstein meme. My boss is a nice guy, but about as mainstream as it gets. He knew about it and had seen the dog handler video on Fox, too. The memes are working when even he has seen them. The 4channers are doing God’s work; leave em’ alone.
gilberts,
Good post…you are right!
I take selected memes, and posts, and even individual comments from TBP, and forward them to family and friends to wake some of them up!
I have been doing that a long time, but TBP provides more collected cutting edge TRUTH, WARNINGS, and WITTY BITE then anywhere else.
I know the material is having an impact because more than a few have asked me to put their friends on my Bcc list.
Something else now that this goddamn glue is gone. You can huff it off your pecker, you idiots. Like butane.
There’s a chance Pope Benedict is the power behind Nutteryahoo and Epstein/Mossad. A real chance. Melania is Catholic and Trump loves (((them))).
Prove me wrong!
Yet another reason for a civil war. And why you should never give up your guns under threat of death.

Think about that.
Let’s have a Civil War of critical thinking and bright ideas.
The Commutards probably would not even show up.
We have the bright ideas but are censored.
After the brutal asswhipping the GOP took in Kentucky and Virginia last night, do people still think Trump wins in a landslide? Trump has to overcome rampant voter fraud, fatal demographics, oh, and the fact that he’s shown himself to be nothing more than a puppet for Israel with little to no efficacy on the domestic platform he ran on in 2016 (whether intentional or not.) At this point, I’m skeptical he can even win.
Hasn’t Virginia become overrun with gov workers ? As for Kentucky, GOP won everything else, teachers were/are still pissed at the incumbent gov, hence the outcome, still, close enough for a recount last I heard
https://elect.ky.gov/results/2010-2019/Pages/2019-Primary-and-General-Election-Results.aspx
I’m not sure that Republicans took an ass-whipping. They may have, maybe not. The Virginia State legislative districts were re-drawn by a judge to make them more favorable to Dems. Maybe that was justified, maybe not. Picking up a few seats (they only needed one to gain the majority) is less statistically important to Trump’s re-election than what the party split of the total statewide vote was. I don’t have time to research that. I’m sure an enterprising reporter could accomplish that in 1/2 hour (or 6-7 hours for a woman). Of course, that means no one will do it. Do I have to do everything around here?
Republicans swept all offices in KY except the governorship- which Bevin lost because he took on teachers’ pensions. Teachers in some states have over-generous pensions. Kentucky’s not one of them. Bevin picked a stupid fight.
The fact that the Republican only barely won the Mississippi governor’s race should worry republicans, even though the winner is apparently a boring dolt of a party hack.
“The Virginia State legislative districts were re-drawn by a judge to make them more favorable to Dems. Maybe that was justified, maybe not.”
This is a power the judiciary doesn’t have. Regime Cleavage in action.
The Washington Post is reporting that Republicans won the popular vote in Virginia despite losing the State House majority after the legislative map was redrawn by the courts.
Voting and elections don’t matter.
It’s all theater-not just bits and pieces.
Trump is just a teleprompter reader for the Jewish Lobby and the Brits… for now.
Like how John peppers his writing with wit and dry humor.
Links are good. They offer pathways from the main road, where wonderful inspirational options and further learning & resources can be discovered and used to great effect.
The platform was represented well in the feedback / suggested detours & alternate paths.
Mark had a double mention, so I’d pay attention to what direction he’s pointing in, for interested minds.
Know-it-alls need not obey, especially those of the Yeah, but… variety.
Flies for every ointment, they love to drop. Ditto, the deuces into punchbowl’s. Harumph!
Cheers.
His chemical jokes didn’t get a reaction.
I see what he did there.
Well, the commenters above this one pretty much sum up the current state of affairs….a total spammer on an internet business, a link lobber (VH) with zero ability to offer solutions or any insight. A government shill or an escapee from a Miles Mathis summer camp (Popgun) and a semi-sentient comment from Yasure….well at least we got one out of four…..
Based on the election results from last night…the conflict is baked in the cake at this point. Matt Bevin lost narrowly in KY….mostly because he tried to do the “right” thing and cut KY Medicaid and other benefits while pushing a pro-life agenda. It doesn’t play in the cities of Lexington and Louisville. The Dem is a legacy of a two-term governor….and not bad as a politician, better than Chelsea and worse than Mittens…and the fucking Libertarians are proud of splitting the vote and ensuring a Dem victory…..Yep, that is America 2020. A Dem aristocracy, feckless controlled opposition with Ideological purity and anybody trying to do the right things loses because the population wants their Free Shit!
I really don’t think it matters what happens with Trump, the impeachment, 2020 election or even the economy……the only impact will a marginal hastening or slowing of the inevitable, there is no getting out of the great “reset”….and not to be overly negative but I doubt the freedom lovers/limited government types win at least initially….so gird your loins for a shitfest.
As things are stacking up at the present time, it appears that Martel’s Hammer has hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. With the average I.Q. of the people inhabiting our country in free fall, it’s highly doubtful that anything positive will be wrought from letting these morons cast ballots for more of our hard earned FRNs.
It’s a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. Under the original Constitution voting was limited to White male landowners for what should be painfully obvious by now reasons. We’ve surrendered our once great Republic to those who have been historically proven to be nation destroyers, without firing a shot.
The Brits are circling at low altitude.
I can smell the stench but they are actually signaling surrender.
Maybe America is the finest nation ever conceived, even with it’s transient issues, bar none.
Communist doublespeak and written gobbledygook is hard to miss if you know what to look for.
Exhibit A
The predictability of the comments is increasing, isn’t it? No one really needs to read comments anymore, just look at who’s commenting and the content is assured. Little one trick ponies. I’m getting that boring, I include myself in the predictable. The same topic(s) are presented over and over, and the responses are the same. I’ve reached a burnout point, the election is a year away and for most of this year it feels like the election year has already happened. Tiresome and pointless.
The Trump bashers in my family are convinced things will be much better with a democrat in office, most idiotic comment was how great things were under Obama. Said family member hopes to get some moola from an inheritance while ignoring how the dems want to do away with allowing inheritances to go untaxed up to a certain sum or confiscated. ONce his ox is gored, wonder how pro-dem he’ll be?
If voters are going to give the freebie party the majority votes ( fraudulently or otherwise) then Venezula is the logical outcome. Some Muslim Somali female in Maine made it to the city council, mostly because all the Africans who were imported into the area voted for her. People will vote for their special interests and Detroit will be the future.
The female who flipped Trump off as his motorcade went by is now a county supervisor, she was fired for her actions and said:”“I couldn’t sit at home anymore and bite my nails and watch Rachel and Anderson,” she said in an interview on Wednesday, referring to the cable news hosts Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and Anderson Cooper of CNN.” This female is soaked in the BS, she actually believes the tripe coming from Cable. She is not alone, she is legion.
You can’t fix stupid, I don’t even bother anymore. I’m at a point where I’m ready to drop off the map, go grey and focus on getting ready for spicey times. I shall keep up with news but only for information.
I cannot stop that which is coming. I had hoped for some positive signs and energy, was endeavoring to maintain a positive attitude, upbeat and etc. but I do think, upon reflection, that my time is best spent preparing and, like I said, keeping a low profile.

Mygirl,
Yea, sometimes I start to post something, and then I realize I have already said that at least twice…on different threads.
But this is still one of the best places to pick up perspectives, wit, bite, insights, vids, smart ass verbal darts (both incoming and outgoing), well presented conversations and debates, an occasional joust/shitfest…and of course there is always FRIDAY FAIL with a couple of vodka tonics!
Another angle for me is the many minds and kindred spirits that I find that I agree with (and learn from).
There is no doubt that the majority of the country is going to hell in a hand basket (literately) and I’m glad to find so many here that refuse to not only not get in the basket…but are prepared to shoot the basket holder!
I’m with you on the prepping, one day it will pay huge dividends.
Keep the faith…cuz like Greg Hunter says at the end of his Friday News vid, “Fear Not, God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ are firmly in Control”.
Mark,
You said what I was about to. And even on this, I repeat myself; I am far more about the personal interactions and conversations than I am about what has been so evident for so many years. Analyzing symptoms, is how I describe it. Of course, sometimes its like leaning on the bed of a pickup and yakkin’ about the weather; generally its not the topic so much as the relating.
And never forget the Holy Spirit is right with ’em.
Why, I do think I’ll throw my hat in this here ring. It’s why I’ve lurked for a decade and started to open up – despite my generally quiet demeanor. I have met more genuine people on the TBP website than I have in real life in that same amount of time.
I look up to Mark and Flea in certain ways and Llpoh and EC in others. And then I like to learn over the entirety of so many good posts.
AoC
mygirl…
I have come to like and dislike you with the rest of the TBP family here. We all kind of grow on each other, like mold or mildew maybe.
So, I hope you find a way to keep on doing whatever it is you are supposed to be doing as we trundle our way toward the morrow.
Personally, after the HR nonsense? I went down a rabbit hole when I took off to look for America here in the heartland cemeteries. I found out there are a lot of veterans of many kinds of wars. I met a woman veteran gang-raped by her peers and coworkers and I met a woman raped (as a young girl) by a man who used some sort of date rape drug and let others watch. I also met a man accused of rape when they were just both drunk and it ruined his career and enhanced hers.
I don’t mean to sound morbid, but all those bulldyke women claiming they are going to do the world ordering so much better than the men need to remember that only women bleed and the strength and endurance of the soldier wins in the end.
And, when they win? They kill the weaker men and rape the women. Pretty much ALL the women. It’s kind of creepy reading some of the books about wars outside our peripheral vision. There are some cultural traits anthropologists should not have recorded, in my opinion.
But, as far as the country’s demise or revise?
Day 17 of 54. St. Jude. Desperate Causes.
MG, that phrase triggered a memory of an obscure tune in my jukebox by Vincent.
He’s originally from my area, but hangs out in warmer climates these days.
He’s prolly still getting royalty checks for Schools Out, and Eighteen, besides others.
Anyway,
Edit / Add:
Believe it’s a tune to draw attention to POS men who think domestic violence is machisimo, and ought be accepted as just one of those things that will continue to happen.
It shouldn’t.
That song started up in my head, too and I couldn’t remember the artist. Thanks.
Anybody notice that the comment system doesn’t work with adblockers turned on?
uMatrix doesn’t seem to affect it.
But uBlock Origin is now breaking comments.
Might be an issue with this:
https://www.theburningplatform.com/wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/assets/third-party/wpdcookiejs/customcookie.js?ver=5.3.2
Yep. This is the issue.
I’m replying to this comment with uBlock origin running. That’s not the issue.
Once I added an exception which allowed that js file, everything works the way it used to [I wasn’t just guessing].
We may use different filter lists. I’m presuming one of the privacy lists included wpdcookiejs in some manner on its block list, in a recent update.
[update]
Just went and looked – the Easy Privacy list added /wpdcookiejs/* to its filter list.
Very odd. I have the Easy Privacy list turned on in my uBlock origin settings, I have not added any exceptions and I’m not having any problems commenting. uBlock is currently blocking 48 things on this page.
I also use Brave (where I have the shields up) and EFF Privacy badger which is blocking 21 things on this page right now.
So whatever the issue is, I don’t think it’s a simple thing and it doesn’t seem to be affecting different people in a predictable way.
I use Brave on my Samsung s10e, which is blocking 50 things on this page, and I can’t reply to comments (the “reply” button only turns blue) or comment at all (there is no “post comment” button).
I had to go to my laptop to use Firefox to comment, which makes me sad.
I’ve reported this to the developers of the commenting plugin we are using. In the mean time if you can figure out how to make your blocker not block stuff that is hosted at www. theburningplatform. com, commenting should work and all the ads should still be be blocked because the ads are not hosted here.
People whose eyes work well enough to browse websites on their phone make me sad.
I’ll say it again.
Thanks for what you do round here.
Same here,
Been going on ever since LLPOHs thread, 2nd day of it being posted.
Also have a Samsung and using brave
It wasn’t working again today.
I had to add another exception. Again for wpdcookiejs. Now it works.
Version number of the script changed. I’ll need to look onto how the filter rules can use wildcards, I guess.
This
appears to work. Replaces static version number with wildcard character: *
If anyone is having this issue, and wants to try it, you can paste this into the ‘My filters’ pane of the uBlock dashboard, then click on the ‘apply changes’ button. Reload TBP and see if it works for you. If not, go back and delete the filter and click on ‘apply changes’ again.
Sorry, I updated to the latest version of the plugin this morning which will have changed that version string.
Probably the most reliable thing to do is to whitelist anything that comes from
www.theburningplatform.com. None of the ads or other junk that you’d want to filter out of the page are actually coming from the TBP server.The ad company gave me new code which they thought would solve the problem.
I don’t think this actually has anything to do with the new ad company. I think it was just a coincidence that you added that around the same time as this piece of code that is part of our commenting plugin got put onto a blacklist that drives a lot of ad blockers.
As TMWNN said, it’s not an issue the creator of the file can fix. The file has been blacklisted on one of the privacy filter lists for uBlock Origin.
Don’t know how familiar you are with this stuff, but the adblockers, among other things, run pattern matching analysis of the pages you visit – and those filter lists contain the patterns which are searched for (the things to block).
In this instance, the pattern is /wpdcookiejs/* – and anything served from a directory containing that pattern is blocked (like the customcookie.js file we’re having issues with).
The filter I posted (a few comments up, the one with the wildcard character in place of the script version number) allows this js file to work (at least for the moment).
If anyone isn’t having this issue, you are likely either not using uBlock Origin, or not using the Easy Privacy block list, or your version of that list hasn’t been updated yet to the most current version of the block list (something to look forward to, for some people, I guess).
Just installed an update for the commenting extension that is supposed to have a fix.
Yep, it happened to me with BRAVE. But I can comment with ads on another browser.
Monticello Report 5Nov19: Rural Jefferson county GOP sponsored a meeting about the Connector Hwy (the NYC Developers plan for a new superhighway from Georgia to Tampa) and new Gulf Power East-West transmission line through Tallahassee & Monticello. Nobody from either project showed up (typical), a GOP lawyer/politician explained why the projects were needed and unstoppable (typical) and the people were not supposed to speak per se but only submit questions on cards. The crowd became angry and the controllers lost big time. People are tired of the arrogant PTB screwing over US.
I think this applies because to this topic because it’s an example of the NYT trying to stir up more racial unrest without any of the facts of the matter. I followed this even though I live in the country because this is a historic boulevard and the first one in KC, a city who made it a habit to create lovely boulevards. Outside involvement like Freedom Inc started the whole thing suggesting Kansas City didn’t have any streets named after MLK as if he doesn’t have a zillion others all over the country, plus there is a park and a school there with that name. The city didn’t follow it’s own procedure to change the street name and the residents (mostly black) who started the recall were all pissed. Here is a link to the history for anyone interested.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paseo_(Kansas_City,_Missouri)
Here is how the NYT (even made the Japan Times) slanted it.
“Kansas City voters have overwhelmingly approved removing the name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from a city boulevard in favor of the street’s original name, The Paseo.
Unofficial results show the vote to remove King’s name received nearly 70% of the Tuesday’s vote, with just over 30% voting to retain King’s name.”
What?
They are going to start removing landmarks that got mis-named after Psyops?
This could be a signal.
They need to get their asses to Boston where every hoax and drunk politico gets a street or a square or a public toilet named after them.
Since the British are surrendering and really like it here in New England and the colonies, they prefer the original names.
No stupid Handmaid’s Tale or Steven King Iron Dome crap needed!
That Count video was great. It reminded me of a scene from “Once a Deadpool” , the PG-13 version of the Deadpool 2 movie.
Deadpool is reading to Fred Savage a la “The Princess Bride” …..Priceless!!

“And my chemistry jokes never got a reaction.”
Chemistry jokes are better served in test tubes heated on Bunsen burners, stirred periodically by moles.
Excellent piece of work, John. I’m just partially through and am glad I heard the rain.
If you eat a clock, you CAN’T go back for seconds. Truth.
Interesting. I have always said that in the event of large scale violence breaking out, the patriot forces should immediately cut off food, fuel. electricity, air and ground transport, and water to major urban areas. Once people got organized this would be far easier than it sounds. Places like New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles would be issued ultimatums: Turn over persons on lists to be provided to them – instantly – or suffer the consequences. Once the leftist and Deep State ringleaders are well in hand, all of the assets of all Democrat Party activists and so-called “Progressive” activists would be seized and none would be allowed to leave the country until they can be sorted out and “processed. As for the useless mouths in the urban areas, they would be put on food rations. Illegal aliens would be given 30 days to clear out. Then we start rebuilding the country.
One Second After. It will be ugly.
