In Part 1 of this article I pointed out how we have allowed ourselves to be cowed by authoritarian “experts” who have proven to be nothing but incompetent and wrong every step of the way, while the financiers have used the crisis once again to pillage the citizens as they did in 2008/2009.
The absurdity of shutting down this country based on academic death models that make economist and climatologist models look highly accurate in comparison, can be seen in the ludicrousness of the following chart. And realize we did this on purpose because of a virus that will kill .018% of the U.S. population. And most of those deaths will occur in several highly dense urban enclaves, with the rest of the country barely affected.
By shutting down the country the government has crushed virtually every business in the country and putting tens of millions out of work, with resulting crash in tax revenues at the Federal, State and Local level. At the same time, Trump and everyone in Congress have become Bernie Sanders socialists, except most of it is corporate socialism. The deficit was already on track to top $1.2 trillion, but with the $2.2 trillion stimulus package, and more to come, the deficit this year and next will approach $3 trillion.
“It has been more profitable for us to bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one. Those who have followed the assertive idiot rather than the introspective wise person have passed us some of their genes. This is apparent from a social pathology: psychopaths rally followers.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
We have allowed ourselves to be led by assertive idiots and permitted psychopaths to dominate the highest levels of government and finance. These are truly evil men with evil intentions. Power, greed and control are what drive these people. During normal times, governors of states are practically figureheads, as all they do is pass more laws and increase your taxes. It’s when we face a man made crisis like we are experiencing today, the true authoritarian nature of these petty tyrants rears its ugly head.
The reprehensible tyrannical mandates and orders being made by mostly Democrat governors across the country is a disgusting display of fascism. Their mandates violate the Constitution, but are being enforced by their police state thug instruments of force. The police will do the bidding of those who pay them, with total disregard for the Constitution or your rights. Freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and 2nd Amendment rights are being shut-down.
Pastors are being thrown in jail for daring to hold religious services. Governors are threatening religious leaders on the holiest week of the year. Police are citing or arresting citizens for swimming in the ocean, jogging on beaches, playing wiffle ball in a park with their child, daring to get on a bus without a mask, and taking unauthorized drives. Drones are being used by government tools to intimidate and threaten citizens daring to venture out of their homes.
Karens all over the country are reporting their neighbors to the police for exercising in their yards. Google and the other corporate phone companies are doing their Big Brother best to surveille and report the whereabouts of their paying customers to the government. The only difference between our addiction to technology and slavery is that slaves know they are not free. Fauci thinks it would be a good idea that we have papers indicating whether we are immune to the Chinese virus. Gates wants the country shutdown for months, until he can create a vaccine to force upon the entire world. They want to control and monitor our every movement, because they know what’s best for us. Now move along to your assigned pod.
The time is approaching when we will need to separate the wheat from the chaff. This ongoing test of character will reveal the true nature of our political, financial, corporate, religious, and neighborhood leaders. You will be able to determine what type of person they are by whether they are willing to violate moral and ethical codes to achieve their objectives. It is times like these where your true nature is revealed.
So far, virtually every national leader, and most certainly Powell, Mnuchin and Congressional leaders, have failed this test miserably. They have confirmed we are run by one party, beholden to corporate and banking interests, and perfectly willing to destroy the livelihoods of the 99.9% to keep the 0.1% enriched and empowered. The ruling class has violated every moral and ethical code known to man, and will continue to do so until they are stopped through violent means. The chaff will need to burn.
Nothing captures the true nature of our society today better than this screen shot from CNBC. Relentless stock promoter Jim Cramer is celebrating the best week in the stock market since 1938, because the Federal Reserve provided trillions of free money to Wall Street banks, so they could artificially pump stock prices, even though GDP in the 2nd quarter will plunge by 30%, corporate profits will crash, unemployment will soar to 20%, and deficits will skyrocket towards $3 trillion.
This is the disconnect between our financialized economic system, where Wall Street banks will also take advantage of plunging oil prices to syphon up the assets of bankrupt fracking companies for pennies, while 17 million Americans don’t know how they are going to pay the mortgage, rent, utilities, property taxes or food bill next week. Welcome to our dystopian nightmare, brought to you by the corporate globalist fascist party of America.
The actions taken in the last month by your government and the unelected privately owned Federal Reserve have absolutely benefited mega-corporations, Too Big to Trust Wall Street banks, billionaire hedge fund managers, and Deep State authoritarians, while throwing bread crumbs laced with cyanide to small business owners, the working class, and senior citizens. You can be sure Jamie Dimon is still playing tennis while cooped up in his $20 million Park Avenue penthouse. As Leonard Cohen sorrowfully sang: Everybody knows the ship is leaking. Everybody knows the captain lied. The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. That’s how it goes.
Everyone has seen the stories about the majority of American households unable to handle an unforeseen $500 expense. How about both parents losing their jobs because Jamie and his fellow Wall Street shysters needed a manufactured crisis as cover for their criminality. I can picture the .1%ers channeling their best Mr. Potter and calling these people lazy discontented rabble who should have saved for a rainy day, when in reality these globalists shipped their jobs to China and convinced them to load up on debt to keep up with the Joneses.
You have to break a few million eggs to make a $6 trillion bailout omelet for the ruling class. Let them eat food bank scraps after waiting three hours in a modern-day soup line. At least gas is only $2.00 a gallon, which is very concerning to president Trump. Don’t you know poor Exxon Mobil is really struggling to make ends meet at that price?
I, along with many other like minded people in this country, have been stoically living our lives, prudently managing our affairs, working and saving, not being lured into the rigged markets, preparing for the challenges we saw ahead, and viewing everything spewed by politicians or media talking heads as nothing but hot air and propaganda.
I’ve hated the road this country has been on for the last twenty years, but with the actions taken by the Fed and government in the last few weeks, they have pressed down hard on the accelerator as if they want to take the country over the cliff and into the abyss below. What is the end game to these machinations and schemes? Do they have some master plan for a global world order, or are they just arrogant psychopaths flailing about trying to retain their wealth, status and power? Whatever the purpose, it is not going to end well.
I’ve been able to live my life without much interference from the surveillance state until now. When the State purposely destroys the economy, endangering my ability to earn a living, imprisons me in my home with threat of sanctions if I don’t obey, uses technology to monitor my movements, and then throws a couple grand of my own tax money back at me as compensation to shut up and submit to their shitting on my Constitutional rights, I’ve got a problem.
I’m not willing to sacrifice my liberty and freedoms for the safety and security of a corporate fascist oligarchy disguised as a government of the people, by the people and for the people. This farce has gone on for far too long. Once we acquiesce and surrender our liberty, it can never be recovered.
There are millions of well-armed angry Americans trapped in their homes right now. The powers that be have been able to maintain the status quo by providing plentiful manufactured toxic bread products and technological circuses for masses, keeping them sedated with anti-depressants and a myriad of mindless distractions. But, taking away their livelihoods, endangering their ability to put food on the table, requiring papers to travel on the roads, and mandating quarantines and curfews at the point of a gun, are a bridge too far.
Even docile sheep will start to bite if they are starving and cornered. I know many of us feel like we are tilting at windmills, but I believe the evil men who are dictating our fates and imprisoning us in their financialized world of fraud are weaker and more desperate than they appear. At a point in the near future a few heroes will summon the fortitude to push back and ignite the patriotic spirit that founded this country – liberty or death.
“Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
With all of the incompetence and recklessness of the immense corrupt bureaucracy, ruining our lives, on full display, just as we saw in 2008/2009, what a perfect way to keep movements like the Tea Party and OWS from launching protests across the country – ban all mass gatherings “for our safety”. We know it is really about their safety. It’s almost too seamless.
Imprison people in their own homes, send them a few bucks, and force them to increase their credit card balance from $11,000 to $20,000 at 20% interest, while criminal Wall Street banks get free money from the Fed and greedy mega-corporations get bailed out en masse. The expected reaction from the prisoners is the normal wailing and gnashing of teeth about the injustice of it all, more people going Galt and retreating into their enclaves. Localism is a good thing, but there are authoritarian busybodies and control freaks in every neighborhood, so it is not the answer.
Nassim Taleb is a crotchety son of a bitch who enjoys taking down intellectual yet idiot (IYI) purveyors of bullshit and propaganda. He’s not a nice guy. Nice guys will not fare well during the coming trials and tribulations. His quote below struck a chord with me on multiple levels. Russian Roulette is a perfect analogy for everything happening in the world today. Our political and financial titans have been playing Russian Roulette with reality for decades. When you keep pulling the trigger with no negative consequences, you acquire a numbing sense of security.
Why plan properly for a potential pandemic when we haven’t had a really bad one for over a century? Why worry about debt accumulation when our glorious central bank geniuses can elevate the stock market to new highs by creating more debt and politicians can honor all their empty promises to voters by running multi-trillion-dollar deficits to infinity? Reality is vicious in the end. Our celebrated heroes of finance are going to realize too late; their seemingly low risk games will end with brain matter splattered on the wall. The question is whose brain matter.
“Reality is far more vicious than Russian roulette. First, it delivers the fatal bullet rather infrequently, like a revolver that would have hundreds, even thousands of chambers instead of six. After a few dozen tries, one forgets about the existence of a bullet, under a numbing false sense of security. Second, unlike a well-defined precise game like Russian roulette, where the risks are visible to anyone capable of multiplying and dividing by six, one does not observe the barrel of reality. One is capable of unwittingly playing Russian roulette – and calling it by some alternative “low risk” game.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
The Russian Roulette analogy triggered another memory from my youth – one of the most iconic scenes in movie history from the Deer Hunter. Walken and De Niro are prisoners in a Vietcong prison camp where the sadistic soldiers force the American prisoners to play Russian Roulette for money. De Niro decides he’d rather die a man than cower under the thumb of his keepers. Knowing the risk is extreme, he demands they put three bullets in the gun, taking a chance he and Walken can pull the trigger with an empty chamber. They show the kind of guts and courage which once permeated this country. After their gamble pays off, De Niro turns the gun on his captors and blows them away in a hail of bullets. Walken can’t stop bashing in the skull of one of the dead sadists.
As the evil sadists running this virtual prison camp inflict more pain and torture upon the American people, reaping all the benefits and heaping all the anguish on our shoulders, some will summon their inner De Niro and Walken, and fight back. How many remains a question. Forcing men to grovel and beg will create a blowback they don’t anticipate. The masses have obeyed and allowed themselves to be led by the ruling class establishment for decades, so those in control have grown supremely confident there is not a bullet in the chamber this time. They run this prison camp and we will do what they say and keep playing their game. Until we don’t.
Those who would give up essential Liberty,
to purchase a little temporary Safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

As I said before, damn hard to get protests going when it is a crime to leave home.
Very stirring words, Jim.
Llpoh
Good job you left before it became a crime, hey?
It is allowed to go anywhere in NYC. If u shop better wear a mask,just not to frighten other sheeple.Better drive your own car.But lots of people lost their service jobs.Illigals,probably,will start robbing soon .RE may go down 30-40% within a year.
Nowhere in the article does the author advocate for impotent protests. He thoroughly and descriptively writes about the ongoing, unchecked, flagrant criminality of the ruling elite and their D.C. Uniparty, especially of the past twenty years, and the deserved slaughter required of those turds and mutts.
DMV – are you an imbecile? Sure looks likely. Did Admin anywhere advocate for violence? To do that is most unwise, especially in an open forum. And I am not about to do that. However, last I looked, protest is still perfectly legal. And a few million folks protesting, perhaps carrying arms in jurisdictions where that is still legal, might make a significant impression.
If you want to advocate for violence on an open forum, be my guest. You might well find you get a visit by the police, as happened to one of our posters for doing something far more benign.
All DMV has to do is use the Schumer defense. I don’t think the “outrage” of Schumer threatening physical harm to two Supreme Court justices on the steps of the SCOTUS building even lasted 24 hours.
As soon as DMV joins the Senate or the House, he can make threats without any consequences. As a common poster on the internet, he is open to interrogation and body cavity searches.
“The ruling class has violated every moral and ethical code known to man, and will continue to do so until they are stopped through violent means. The chaff will need to burn.”
Question mark – that is not advocating, just stating an opinion. You folks really have trouble reading for comprehension.
“The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken.”
Advocation, opinion or something else ?
And you really have trouble resisting the urge to be a pedant. It’s apparent that Jim shrouded his advocacy in nuance, and for reasons also apparent. Why belabor the issue for the purpose of expanding upon what’s trivial and will surly remain as such when contributing little more than your own unsubstantiated and unasked for opinion? Condescend much?

Little Timmy – I have known Jim a very long time. Longer than anyone else currently posting at the moment I believe. He says what he means. If he was calling for an uprising, he would say so clearly, and he would be leading from the front. Unlike so many others around here, you included by the look of it. Right now he is predicting events. You are being a numbskull. If and when your opinion is needed, I will beat it out of you.
What have you ever done for this site? Nothing is the answer to that question. So mind your manners and be a bit respectful lest you get your ass handed to you.
LL – It is very nice to see you (not surprised btw) take the time to stand tall for Jim.
Bravo
You might want to ask your doc (or Mom) to cut back on the soy.
Of course, when the riots do start, they will immediately impose martial law. Can’t riot when you can’t go outside.
Impose martial law. How does martial law differ from house arrest of 3 billion people?
I don’t think organizing matters. The subconsciouses of the masses matter. A Rosa Parks moment is not planned, it is unleashed. There is no need to be a part of it unless you are seeking food or water. I would not piss on most Americans if they were burning just fine. Our saving grace could be Black America. They are more likely to fight, as always.
Way forward:
Use the so far dormant power of a state, which their resources in a legal issue will be necessary.
The Constitution requires states to tender gold or silver coin in payment of debts. The US mints those coins, but then US charges a capital gains tax on those coins. Obviously, such a tax means those coins will never circulate as money.
A state brings a claim in proper venue advantageous to it based on the holding from McCullough v. Maryland, where the court held that the power to tax is the power to destroy such that a state couldn’t lay a tax on US bank notes.
The same applies here. Get rid of the capital gains tax on monetary coins, and let the market decide the price and whether they circulate.
What did people think was going to happen when an entity that was designed to be limited and had to tax for revenue morphed into a self-funding entity?
What worries me is how will Americans react to the coming FedCoin? I’m sure it will be readily accepted by the masses because they will be incentivised with the lure of $1000 to open their digital wallet account. Will there be enough intelligent souls to say no?
This is the rubicon of tyranny that must be challenged. Once implemented we will forever be sheep.
Uhhh, Steve, keyboard posturing aside…we’re already sheep.
There’s no way out of a debt-money monetary system. Few understand the damage done to society when debt becomes the instrument of wealth. Simply put, truth is replaced with lies, honor is replaced with deceit. competence is replaced with incompetence… trust evaporates…everything is replaced with galloping entropy. It all falls apart.
Evolution is a slow, mostly painful path we tread. It has never been a forward march only, it’s always two steps forward, one step back. Some future generation will break the chains… but for us, we’re riding the tiger of debt and the ONLY way forward is more debt.
Exactly.
The fiat theater will collapse. I wish I knew when.
Only after it brings dystopian harm And consequences to the masses will they realize how stupid they were for abandoning paper much less gold backed currency.
Patrick Henry had all of the political and intellectual wherewithal to have been a signer of the constitution. He chose not to because he saw that it would fail. Through the ages, his words now frame the final test for humanity.
Patrick Henry wept.
Does anyone have a book recommendation on Patrick Henry?

“The police will do the bidding of those who pay them, with total disregard for the Constitution or your rights.”
The beast system could not exist without uniformed flying monkeys enforcing it’s evil.
I unfortunately live in Michigan.
A once great state now run entirely by democrats, slowly turning into a third world shithole populated by a majority of soon to be government dependant sheep.
Our governor is on Bidens list of possible VP’s, that is if by some cosmic joke he is elected, she is doing all she can to not only take away our right to make a living, but doing all she can demoralizing people as well to get the recognition she so badly craves from other dems and media.
Are they pushing us to civil disobedience???
Even the most dutiful democrat can not explain why she has, by executive order; made painting your house illegal, closed down yard waste dumps so you can’t dispose of yard waste, made purchasing flowers to plant in your yard illegal, made using gas motors on all boats illegal, but sailboats without a gas motor are legal, made worshiping in a church parking lot while you remain in your car illegal, closed down all National Parks and State Parks until June 25th, established a phone line to call on your neighbors, closed down parking lots along the Great Lakes, established a $1,000 fine if you are in your vehicle and stopped not going to the store, the hospital or to care for a loved one, established a $1,000 fine if you are caught not adhering to the magical six foot social distance law.
I’m a painting contractor, I have two men willing to work so I’ve been helping paint the new hospital in town. Last week we worked in the Covid departments in both major hospitals in town. I can tell you the doctor I talked to is completely mystified at the government rules. It was astounding talking with him, fucking astounding.
I’m convinced there is a virus out there, I’m also convinced it is not the killer the media and government is telling us it is.
Unfortunately at 61 I’m in the CDC denoted “DEATH AGE” so my kids will not come around me except for my son.
I was very sick at the end of February and based on the description of symptoms the doctor I talked to said it sure sounds like I had what is going on now, so I’m probably immune thanks to natural antibodies. But they don’t care.
I’m sick at the new social acceptance of HouseParty and Zoom to have Easter gatherings, birthday parties or just a way to “connect” with friends and family. What The Fucking Hell! How fast this country turned into obedient little drones concerns me more far more than this virus.
All that being said this government and cdc reaction is fucking bullshit, will destroy small business, jobs and the economy for years to come, for absolutely nothing.
I also know that the same democrats and the cdc will take full credit for saving us all…..and the sheep will bleat their never ending praise.
We are so FUBAR. And if Bill Gates gets his way, I’m going Galt and off grid the best I can.
A fucking men….
If democrats regain washington tryanny will spread throughout our country which makes revolution a certainty.
Damn you’re cucking retarded.
The deficit just doubled, payroll cut by 20 million, the bailout is for transformative Democrat programs. It’s all good if Trump can joke about signing an expenditure in the trillions, with a ‘T’. Boy, I sure hope the Democrats are kept from their worst another four glorious years of martial law with relatively few cavity searches and beatings. Think of how much better trained the population will be in four more years.
Card802: I too live in the communist state of michigan. You have described this once great power house to a tee. If you are thinking of going Galt you had better start prepping now. I have a strong feeling that this asshat governor is going to try and nail out feet & hands to the cross .
Another voice from Michigan. This used to be the Great Lake State. Now, there is not a whole lot great about it. I have a friend that I connect with on Facebook, from time to time. He seems to be planning on a protest on the capitol steps, armed, telling the state leadership that we want our rights back. I can’t go along with that. It is one thing to fight back against tyranny. It is another to give them your name and face before you start the fight.
I am fairly certain that the time for fighting will come. But let them push us to it, not the other way around. One way, we are criminals, the other way, we are patriots.
If you have to ask for something, it isn’t a right, it’s a privilege.
But good counsel all the same.
And I thought California was bad with our Dems and Governor! Prepare as best you can people. We are in for a rough ride.
It could kill you.
“Are they pushing us to civil disobedience???”
You’ve already lost, you cucking slave.
Civil disobedience, Jesus Tap-dancing Christ!
And again DMV shows his ass.
If you have something to say, or a comment, then make it.
Calling me a cucking slave, twice now…… some will say by resulting to name calling you’ve already lost the argument.
But you never get to that point of a discussion or even an argument, you just make an insult.
I am glad you took some time away from your gay porn sites while hiding from your wife in the basement whacking that little pecker you no doubt have with one hand while with the other trying to big a big man behind your cum coated keyboard.
Now finish jacking off, your wife is calling you to clean up cat piss, and tonight when she asks you to give her eight inches and make it hurt?
You’ll have to fuck her twice and punch her in the nose.
Give it to her once and tell her he’s had better.
DMV you are on your way to be the fastest person admin boots….congrats you dimwit.
Amen

A Classic TBP rant!! Well done.
“What The Fucking Hell! How fast this country turned into obedient little drones concerns me more far more than this virus.”
Card,
I agree. I was appalled when I went to Home Depot the other day, people standing obediently in line like cattle to enter the the store with a maximum of 123 people inside at one time. Cows without cow bells, since no one would dare to stray from the herd.
Based on the apparent mass stupidity and hubris of Our Betters, I think it will emerge that somewhere and somehow some very big and very indebted Fat Cat ran into a problem of having no funds in his accounts, which led the other Fat Cats who in turn owe money not getting paid. In other words, we’ve had an economic collapse and they’re trying to hide it from us. if that’s the case, the collapse will only deepen and God knows what shenanigans They’ll come up with next. I fear we’re living in very dark times and eventually all it will take to ignite the powder magazine will be some stupid cop doing something very stupid and well televised against a largely innocent citizen.
You may be right about some Fat Cats. Knave Dave on the great recession blog claims that the Fed has just bailed out some US banks. The lack a transparency from the Fed just keeps it hidden. I don’t doubt that, and here we are saving some “Too Big to Fail” banks again. It’s Deja-Vu all over again.
Tony:Deja vu times a hundred. The Federal Reserve is now the largest Bank on the planet, capable of creating money out of thin air and destroying economies with the push of a key on a printer.
“The Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does by a huge margin. The Fed is the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world, and if the American people truly understood how it really works, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately.”
“Under the federal reserve act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figured, a mathematical equation.”
“From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.”
“History has recorded nothing so dramatic in design, nor so skillfully manipulated, as this attempt to create the National Reserve Association, or the Federal Reserve.”
“This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President (Woodrow Wilson) signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized….the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill.”
― Charles A. Lindbergh Sr
https://www.inspiringquotes.us/author/3867-charles-lindbergh/about-federal-reserve
They have no choice but to enable Fedcoin digital currency. They already use it For banks iNterday trading etc.
Now can you imagine the length of time it would take to print up $2.3 trillion dollars. Seriously. The cost, time, shipping etc. There is no way. They have lost control of this debt thing and knew it back in 2008 but have covered it up since. People have no idea we are in a greater depression yet….
I fear we may well be at what may be described as a 1991 Soviet Union Extinction Event.
Who down voted the Lindberg quote and 25 facts about the FED? Geez?!?
Start by rejecting (by word and deed) all ‘top news blogs’ that haven’t recognized this is a fake pandemic. The stats have NEVER shown this to be worse than the usual flu and there’s a lot of info out there. Are they still talking about testing?
If they don’t see this they are either stupid, blind or have ulterior motives. I know this will leave you with hardly anything to read, but if they can’t see this why trust them?
This is all that matters as the rest follows from it. Fake Pandemic.
So very much agree…but, all around me ( in my town) the sheep go baaaaa.
I’ve been mulling over the entire shut-down, what purpose does it serve above and beyond disease control and also examining the players in this entire debacle. Who benefits? Who makes money and whose ox gets gored. The primary players are all globalists who push for a New World Order.This is the final game plan, the globalist game plan and we are watching it play out in real time.
Massive ineptitude, greed, stupidity and cupidity have controlled and ruled the day. Democrats use this as an opportunity to push their Marxist agendas while Republicans bend over for their oligarch controllers and the little people are crushed in the middle. All of the actors involved are puppets whose strings are being pulled by the usual suspects while the dumbed down masses are forced at gunpoint to huddle in their homes while their entire economic support system is being bulldozed and buried, right before their eyes.
These levers of control are being used to destroy the country, soften up the populace and instigate more tyrannical police state powers. Control freak politicians are using this to solidify their power base and push their political agendas. This is a deliberate man made depression, created under the guise of disease abatement, complete with deliberate destruction of supply chains, suppliers, producers and society at large. It follows the same pattern, script and course that was used by the bankers, politicians and oligarchs to create the Great Depression of the thirties. It also parallels Stalin’s plan for the Holodomor and Lenin’s guidelines for fomenting revolution.
The parallels between what is happening now with the shut downs, the printing of TRILLIONS of fiat dollars and economic destruction and what happened as a precursor for the Great Depression are uncanny.
Researching further on the role of the Federal Reserve and international bankers in the destruction of the economy and country during the Great Depression I came across this gem of an article. It reveals how the Great Depression was deliberately created by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, how they profited, how the media was used to push the propaganda and how that destruction was used “as the excuse for socialist-fascist controls at home and a World Superstate internationally.” See any parallels with our present reality?
“Having built the Federal Reserve as a tool to consolidate and control wealth, the international bankers were now ready to make a major killing,” stated Allen. “Between 1923 and 1929,” he described, “the Federal Reserve expanded (inflated) the money supply by sixty-two percent. Much of this new money was used to bid the stock market up to dizzying heights. At the same time that enormous amounts of credit money were being made available,” continued Allen, “the mass media began to ballyhoo tales of instant riches to be made in the stock market. According to Ferdinand Lundberg: ‘For profits to be made on these funds the public had to be induced to speculate, and it was so induced by misleading newspaper accounts, many of them bought and paid for by the brokers that operated the pools.’”
Perloff concurred, writing, “The Federal Reserve prompted the speculation by expanding the money supply a whopping sixty-two percent between 1923 and 1929. When the central bank became law in 1913, Congressman Charles Lindbergh had warned: ‘From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.’ Like two con men working a mark, the Fed made credit easy while Establishment newspapers hyped what riches could be made in the stock market.” “Curtis Dall,” he continued, “himself a syndicate manager for Lehman Brothers was on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on the day of the Crash.” Perloff quotes Dall as declaring, “Actually, it was the calculated ‘shearing’ of the public by the World-Money powers triggered by the planned sudden shortage of call money in the New York money market.”
The “shearing,” wrote Allen, caused a “despair [which] produced a willingness to accept a major expansion of government controls over the economy. … In 1929, America was a long way from total government.” He advised, “The next depression will be used as the excuse for complete socialist-fascist controls at home and the creation of a World Superstate internationally.”
Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking Committee, declared of the Depression, “It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence.” He warned, “The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all.” The Great Depression is another example of the Problem-Reaction-Solution formula.
“Plummeting stock prices ruined small investors, but not the top “insiders” on Wall Street,” wrote Perloff. “Paul Warburg had issued a tip in March of 1929 that the crash was coming. Before it did, John D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Joseph P. Kennedy, and other money barons got out of the market. … Early withdrawal from the market not only preserved the fortunes of these men,” said Perloff, “it also enabled them to return later and buy up whole companies for a song.”.
Interesting that days before the present massive shut down, many CEO’s of large corporations resigned and liquidated their assets. How could they have known to do so? Who or what tipped them off? http://transmissionsmedia.com/the-great-depression-was-deliberately-created-by-the-federal-reserve/
Yep,
There was way to much shit going on in the system just before this hit to truly call it off to coincidence.
This whole entire bullshit scenario was planned long ago. Odd how ol’ Botox Pelosi just ‘happened’ to have an almost 2k tome aka: Relief package at the ready two days into the shitstorm, isn’t it?
Mygirl – girl, you’ve nailed it quite accurately. And, not maybe either! You can share my foxhole anytime … and, I don’t just let anyone in that I don’t trust.
Thank you IPNW, I’ve been watching this shits show build for years now, even before 2007.
The virus is a perfect cover, sadly too many people think that because it’s used as cover and a catalyst to start the economic collapse that it isn’t real. It’s real and deadly and I catch lots of flack because I argue that point.
What is truly insidious from the globalist stand point is how those who benefit are so bereft of any form of human decency that they not only use the virus as cover, they also profit from the deaths it causes. The media is in lockstep, first they deny the danger for weeks, ditto the politicians, masks are a waste, etc. and then, when the manifestations of the disease are felt, it becomes massive, over-the-top hysteria, 24/7 Wag the Dog propaganda.
Not knowing the facts and truth of a matter and being fed lies from all sides is extremely frustrating and disorienting. It is so very tiresome to be treated as a pawn and tool and more than disheartening to realize that we are being destroyed for money and power….again.
Dont worry says Q. We will all be fine because he has been promising us four years the deep state is gonna get crushed. In 2039 surely he will be saying the same shit….Q is nothing more than disinformation for manchurian candidate trump
We didn’t care when Big Mike got shot for not getting off the road. We certainly didn’t care when the cops choked Eric Garner. We might not care when they start patrolling the streets in Humvees making sure everybody is indoors while they flatten the crash to make sure the hospitals are not flooded with rich victims.
They are debuting movies on the telescreen. We can shop online, visit loved ones with facetime, skype, zoom. There is just no reason to be outside, none at all. House niggers belong in the house. This ain’t Ferguson.
Lets get this party started!
Promises to be, The Greatest Show on Earth!
Saturday, I was outside with a group of men when the police car came by, he waved and smiled. I don’t know if it was because he understands we were not doing any harm or that we know him and his family.
So much sickness and death with hospital workers becoming overwhelmed and sick. How can they continue in face of such adversity.
When a disaster turns into a farce

Hospitals are empty here in Dayton, Oh and many nurses have been laid off.
Fantastic rant. One nit though – our so-called leaders aren’t fascists. The fascists were a natural immune response to their nations being overtaken by communists. They believed in property rights and individual contributions and rewards, but your actions as an individual had to be consistent with the well-being of the community. The vast majority of Germans enjoyed significant improvements in quality of life and adored their nation and its leaders. The last concern of our leaders is the well being of the nation at large. I believe it would be more correct to correlate our current leaders to the Bolsheviks, who brutally specialized in the expense and suffering of the many for the benefit of the select few.
These words are always very difficult because of decades of misuse, etc. We’re being given the system that China has, whatever word(s) one chooses to call it.
Yeah, you will be tied to your phone and the state in all matters.
Phones can be wrapped in aluminum foil……
>>>We’re being given the system that China has, whatever word(s) one chooses to call it.
Fascism has become something of a junk word for “political system I don’t like”, but as far as I can tell, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is effectively Fascism.
Accurate, but omission of the role of corporations is glaring. As the Bolshies left no doubt about corporate status and often populated entire upper management with party hacks. Fascist tend to a more hands off even power sharing relationship with corporations.
To highlight now, I would say there is not a corporate entity in China that could threaten the CCP. Zero. And the opposite here in the west, our system is 100% captured by corporate interest of every flavor and combination.
Can it be you were able to look at some of the comments, prior to completing part 2? I ask because many posters think that there is more fear than outrage to actually rise up.
Your second article addresses this fact of the penned up gun owners finally making their stand; unfortunately it will be too late. Without coordination or possibly lack of communications, the release will be bloody, but of no consequence, as each home will expend their lead and in the end, TPTB will roll on.

Weird.
What’s weird?
I never see the word E.N.V.Y. used when talking about the people who are destroying the world.
Out here in the country we really don’t give a hoot about our Progressive Governor. I go about my business not giving a flying fuck about the corona -nonsense. Like so many here I have prepared for this shit. I rarely venture into their urban liberal enclaves. Now I do not at all. So my message to them is.”Fuck you Fucking Fucks”
Until they come looking for you or you run out of something you need to survive… Chip
>Fauci thinks it would be a good idea that we have papers indicating whether we are immune to the Chinese virus
The only reason for tagging someone as immune is:
This engineered virus is not going away, it will keep re-appearing, even after your are infected, and it will continue to spread.
it is a massive cull of the heard, people will no longer live to be 70 or 80, and only the immune will be allowed to work in “the new economy” (which is to service the rich)
When did age stop being The contributing factor to death?
When did age stop being The contributing factor to death?
Car wrecks? Plane crashes? Homicide? Work place accidents? Drowning? Electrocution? Venomous snake bites? Shark attacks? Lightening strikes? War?
If you didn’t notice I capitalized “The” for a reason
Might have been better to bolden it instead..
And the reason I asked the question is because on Thursday yet another death from COVID was registered in Nova Scotia. Making it two so far! The news was delivered once again, during the daily COVID update, with pomp and circumstance by The Premier. And while the first decedent was only in her mid Seventies and latest one was twenty some years older.. yep folks shocking news, a woman in her Mid nineties was sent on her way to the Pearly Gates..
Her commencement then started much moar finger wagging about #stayingtheblazeshome and yet not one fucken reporter had to ballz to stand up and ask the obvious question, at least to me..
Why is this news?
Someone even wrote a song..
And the kicker
All of this will be dutifully reported in red column by Chris Martenson when he does one of his hyperbolic fucken updates…
Canadian rock is to rock as Canadian bacon is to bacon. The Peqqers probably put pineapple on their pizza.
I resemble that remark.
Québecois(e) love Hawaiian pizza and a Canadian bacon pizza is a world standard of fabulous.
Just had a Covid DEATH UPDATE on the local radio. Grim news, she says, all 50 states are reporting at least one Covid DEATH!
Sheesh, how are people falling for this propaganda? I guess there aren’t any deaths from anything else anymore.
Calm down, MC. One death per state does not a pandemic make.
If the end of our freedoms only saves one life…
A wonder wondering aloud….
Will there be more deaths of suicide by people, business owners, divorcees that was caused by the covid than actual virus deaths? Will suicides increase by 4%?
According to the movie
The Big Short
This website is amazing! No bullshit ads, free movies!
https://fsharetv.co/movie/the-big-short-episode-1-tt1596363
Me doubts it will last but while its around it will be my go to place to find movies too dangerous for Netflix.
Anyways on to my answer.. in the movie one of the characters quotes this statistic….
For every 1% increase in unemployment rate there is a consequent rise of 40,000 souls lost from death by all causes..
There is likely some truth buried in it.. stats always have some in my experience..
Here in Antigonish a fellow booked it two Thursdays ago by parking his truck on side of the road and walking in front of a passing transport truck. From what I have been told this fellow was a subscriber to conspiracies, whatever that entails, and probably thought that this world had just entered the end of days.. I can only imagine the scene that truck driver is replaying in his head today..
Could it be true.. I tend to think so…
Of course that suicide will not make it in the metrics that Chris Martenson is compiling in his videos. But it should!
I gotta hand it to the apparatchiks working for the Deep State. They have managed to pull off the most masterful bait and switch of all time. And if few lost souls walk in front of a passing truck along the way so that their controllers can continue to holiday in the Hamptons then that folks, at least in their eyes, is but a small price to pay…
I read that the hospitals are getting $13,000 from Medicare for covid treatments and $35,000 when the patient is put on a ventilator; I can’t verify it yet though.
Tony, I believe you are correct re the $35gs. This disparity does create something that is not very nice and which we all hope is not happening. Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing, spent a good bit of the Civil War trying to prevent doctors from amputating wounded soldiers’ limbs because the docs were paid more for amputations. With respect to ventilators, I also have read that about 80 percent of the people put on them do not survive. Earlier treatments seems to be getting good results.
I am just so tired of the brutal politics around this, and I am even more tired of that egomaniac Fauci and his Big Nurse pal. Their ‘models’ have been wrong and wrong and wrong again. Why do we trust them at all? I just want this to end before events really spin out of control. It that happens, how do we find our way back? Just wondering.
It has been years since old age was listed as the cause of death. It is either heart failure, kidney failure, cancer, infection, etc. Here in the US, the hospital will be paid a premium by medicare if the patient dies of beer flu, so viola, beer flu becomes the cause of death de jur.
“Nice guys will not fare well during the coming trials and tribulations. “
Years ago there was a divorcee with two young children living across the street. She had trouble making ends meet. Also she drove a POS car that was constantly is some state of disrepair.
I told my brother (the used car salesman) of her situation. His response was, “s
So what do you want me to do about it.” My response was maybe for him to sell her a nice car at cost, no profit. He countered, “Why would I want to do that?” I said, because he was a “Nice Guy.”
His response has stuck with me for 40+ years. “Let me tell you about ‘nice guys’. Nice guys always finish last, “DEAD LAST.”
Is that a cause or a symptom or neither of where America be at now?
Honest and fair and loyal will do well. Nice has little to do with it.
Not so much as a comma’s worth of empty verbiage. Just how I like it but too many scathing critiques to comment on all of them.
There are some energetic younger people organizing a resistance worth getting behind at
The Conscious Resistance Network at http://www.theconsciousresistance.com with links to others that might be worth supporting. Whatever it is we are doing is not working and exploding into leaderless rage as a result of being repeatedly humiliated won’t produce much.
We need to fight back smarter, not harder.
In 6 or 8 months the present system will morph from Oligarchy to Feudalism with some Commie trappings and all the misery that comes with it. They will deputize an army of angry childless Bulldykes and ManPussies to attack anything resembling Traditional or conservative human beings.
Build your Faith and get a plan.
Two words Flash- Sniper fire. Bulldykes and Manpussies run real fast when they hear report coming from unknown source. Can you handle that?
Be invisible, be serious……..be all that you can be in the shadows Flash. Mercs won’t run, that is who we need to worry about.
I agree serfdom is on the horizon and massive death for India, China and parts of SA. What is the plan Flash? I lean toward retribution with economic backlash where the sheep target a mega corp that is still operating and starve it out by stopping all sales/revenues. After one corp goes down, go after the next, rinse and repeat. Word of mouth is the only way to go.
Flash? Fuk U BLeater boy.
You know damn well they will have Mercs and Jackboots behind them. Try those cheap shots with your pussy boyfriends.
Sorry Flea, that was a serious response with serious question. Can you snipe the bottom feeders, can you be invisible? What is the plan Flea? Again, serious question.
Flea- it stormed like a mofo all night with loud thunder, I have had little sleep. You know I’m off my game if I called you Flash.
BL
I never know if you and EC are sniping or being serious.
The plan is that we have to resist or fight smarter like the kids in the link I provided. http://www.theconsciousresistance.com You know as well as I do we aren’t fighting just humans, I only wish they were humans.
Develope a local underground combined with electronic wizzbang kids who are naturals at all things digital. Together with Saboteurs and a loose knit regional plan things can happen. There will be snitches aplenty but that’s also true of their side. It’s part of the cost of business. If you keep the cells small they are hard to infiltrate but they must be following a general plan to set up some kind of ruling body. The days of the freelance Libertarian are over if they ever had a day. Alone we die. Read Selcos blog about what happened to loners. It’s a nice but futile fantasy. Gifted snipers are just another part of the same effort. Mindlessly sniping someone or things is counter productive. Remember that with a nationwide control of food and ammo the Federalies and local goon squads food and ammo need to be repossessed. Consider them as being to wasteful to be trusted with such valuable commodities.
The problem at present is no honest simple plan to govern that doesn’t alienate people of like mind or allow the enemy to co-opt it. A reasonable temporary system might be going back to what worked for the original 13. That is not my Forte so I’m willing to defer to wiser souls. They are going to use total war tactics leaving nothing out. They don’t care how many die, expect it and find a way. Kidnapping is a time tested delay tactic. We aren’t supposed to win the big war against The Beast, That’s Gods deal. We can win against local and regional goon squads and Zombies. We can at least die on our feet.
I always warned against premature revolt after the lessons learned from my involvement with the early 2A and militia movements. We didn’t know the full extent of the evil in this country and people still thought for the most part that liberals were just misinformed. Now they have Outed themselves and no one can say they are misinformed. They are evil period, all of them. I’ll leave you with this.
THE AMERICAN RIGHT WILL BE CRUSHED IN A CIVIL WAR UNLESS IT ORGANIZES NOW. http://www.russiainsider.com/en/politics/american-right-will-be-crushed-civil-war-unless-it-organizes-now/ri28185
“You know as well as I do we aren’t fighting just humans, I only wish they were humans.”
Not enough Christians understand this. They don’t even believe there is a Luciferian system behind all of this chaos. When they finally realize what is going on it will be too late. The Priests and Pastors will Romans 13 them right into the boxcars or even worse, the ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVE solution.
Mary…
It appears they already have, or maybe they have been
ENRAPTURED OVER THE RAPTURE.
If God be for us, who can be against us?
The other people, with their other God characters.
Any organised resistance will be, more than highly likely, bought down by internal Judases more so than undercover infiltrators. OWS was neutered too quickly to be an undercover operative.
Judas was not the first or last Judas. They are part of the overhead cost.
Judas is always part of the karmic landscape, you can’t be running around scared of either your shadow or his.
Thanks for the links Flea.
The kids seem to be worth paying attention, and offering aid to
Splurge
They have a plan so they at least have something they can modify as they go. Just waiting for the next shoe to drop is not a plan.
Great article, Jim. Linked today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
What to say, and how to say it…
Watershed-moment articles, Jim.
I hesitated to post this for a bit, but fuck it, what the hell.
OK, rant on…
Part 1 had such a drivel- and bullshit-filled comment thread, that it was nearly impossible to find the nuggets worth reading in it. I pushed through and found a few, but damn. Shades of ZH. The quality level of some of the more recent commenters has dropped like a rock.
I understand, and can relate to, the concepts of so many here, but does anyone really think that chasing the chimera of constitutionally founded systems will have any possible positive outcome? I think we’re a long ways past that. Otherwise we wouldn’t be where we are at, would we? Any effectual remedy would only more quickly kill an already terminal patient.
Does anyone truly believe that ‘the masses’ will rise up and confront all the military(local, state, Fed) with armed resistance? With all the ‘eyewash’ and hardware at their disposal? You’re seeing a whole different reality than I’ve seen/lived for 6 decades. By the time the vast majority pull their heads out of their collective asses and look around, with shit-tainted vision and the smell of all the bullshit they’ve been fed their whole lives still wafting up into their nostrils, they’ll be in no position to do anything except accede or die. There will be no ground-swell support of guerrilla movements, or rebellion/revolution movements. Wide-spread desperation mob uprisings and chaos, most likely, but bang! bang! you’re dead, will stop that soon enough. Then off to the FEMA food troughs with you, survivors. For a huge majority, the belly screams louder than the more abstract desire for freedom.
For all you so-called atheists – why do you care? I know a few straight-out no-bullshit atheists, and they’re nothing like you clowns. My own dad is about as atheist as they come. He could give one tenth of a rat’s ass if anybody does or does not pray, worship, go to church, etc. He has zero interest in even discussing anything about that. Completely irrelevant to him, and not worth wasting one thought about or one breath to speak about it. The whole world could hold a Christian prayerfest, or do the Islamic Ashura, or sacrifice to Moloch, or sing arias to Woden, or boil huge vats of pasta to The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster and he would just ignore it. Prayer in school? He could give a shit. Pagan rituals? He could give a shit. Prancing around in a horned goat’s costume? Don’t fuck with my cattle or I’ll shoot you. Give us a break, assholes. Take a lesson from him and practice what you preach. Debate and humorous back-and-forth is one thing, but this constant smarmy ridicule and taking every opportunity to showcase your ‘superior intellect’ defines you as intolerant fuckwads. Just like the ‘libbies’ you so love to hate. I gotta ask; why is it only the professing Christian believers that are the target of your scorn? None of you spiritual naysayers rag on RiNS, for example, for his beliefs. (No offense meant, Rob) Why is that? Hear what I’m sayin’?
The movements of human history are never completely linear, there’s always up-and-down, back-and-forth going on – cycles or eddies and back-currents, rapids and smooth waters. But the over-all trend, the course of the river in its entirety, is what must be charted or observed from a higher elevation, if you actually are interested in it’s true path. And we’re over the daddy of all waterfalls. There is no way we’re going back upstream. Prove me wrong with empirical evidence, not ‘feeeelings’ bullshit.
You all can spout all you want about how you’re going to do this, or going to do that but you’re going to do jack-shit. Those like HSF or Mark (wherever you/they are in the world) are about the only ones with any chance for a little more time, and even we ( I put myself in a similar circumstance) cannot completely stay immune from what’s coming. Only keep it at bay for a little longer. History, people, history – it’s really clear about where we are and where we’re about to go, in concept if not level of intensity. And the inter-twined global reality is at a level unprecedented in all of history. As is technology and the willingness to use it to subjugate just as many as ‘they’ can. You can’t run and you can’t hide, not forever. TPTB have learned their lessons well, from past PTW. (PowersThatWere)
No one knows how this is going to shake out, at least to the details. All guesses. There’s always something nobody saw coming, from a direction no one suspected. Me, I’m not about to go join any armed resistance, except maybe locally to keep our area as safe as possible, if I even have that opportunity. But then, I’m in a different situation than most. I have a red-line and if someone crosses it I will most likely die, because I will react strongly. Once again, that scenario is only one of many possibilities. Maybe I’ll take a few with me, maybe not. Those who would come for me could just call in an AH-1, or send an armored Bradley, or snipe me from a mile away. Hell, they could have a market list of who to take out that day. Doesn’t matter, I should’ve been dead many times over, all ready. It’s a personal choice of how to respond, not some ephemeral vision of ‘holding out until it gets better’. There’s a phenomenon with wild horses – you have to be very cautious in how you handle them, because often they will try to escape the corral so strenuously that they will continue to charge the barrier until they get over it, or break their necks and die. I choose that level of resistance to harsh and brutal overlords. For me it’s personal, and I could give a fuck about going out with anyone by my side.
Doom and Gloom? You’re damn right, if this material plane is all you have. This world-system is coming to a close, and I refuse to ignore what is so evident after 40+ years of study and consideration, across practically all disciplines. If you can’t face it, then go bleat in the pen until you’re herded into the railcar, or until you’re broken and you obey the rein. Or until, with eyes staring wide open in shock, you can no longer ignore your personal fate.
If you don’t have God, fine – you’ll die without Him. If you do have God, fine – you’ll die with Him. NOBODY gets out of here alive (Except those Raptured, whenever. Once again, believe or don’t, not my business. It’s yours. So spare me your incessant bullshit. You’re certainly not going to change my mind about if or when, so why waste the effort?)
How you live or die is your choice, not mine. But for crying out loud, at least face whatever comes with your eyes open and not cowering in the dust waiting for the proverbial bullet to the back of your head. Your steel will be tested in these days/years ahead, so don’t be surprised when it falls on you.
Rant off.
When it comes to religion you should be moar like yer Daddy and stop being so sensitive!
🙂
TS- Nice rant, what does it mean? What should we do?
BL – Thanks.
Just an observation from my POV, and pushback against a few morons. Take it for whatever it’s worth to you.
What should we do?
That’s something you need to figure out for yourself. That’s why more info and POVs are better than less, we can sift through them and make more-informed decisions that are personally relevant to each one of us.
TS-The military would be an interesting organization if the brass came out everyday and said, “Men, in this war we want you to figure it out for yourself”. That’s no way to run a railroad TS. Or a resistance.
I’m looking for answers, something concrete.
BL – If you’re looking for help in a resistance, you weren’t paying attention to my rant.
BL
I left you a plan after your last reply. We’re good, flash set me back a bit.
Look to yourself for the answers. Do you have a red line? What could happen that would be something that you could not live with? Know this, there is NOTHING that any of us are going to do individually or collectively to “return to normal”. That time has passed IMO… Chip
TS
I appreciate your frustration but not everyone can be saved. The Titanic has hit The Iceberg. For now at least, it’s better to be in the liferaft than getting sheet music for the band.
RiNS –
I think you misjudge the source of frustration, though I can understand why it would seem that way. The frustration is a vestige of seeing how obdurately blindly ignorant people can be, and venting a bit. A holdover from when I thought this world had a chance (long years ago). And, the illicit pleasure of pushing back when morons (they don’t deserve moran) flap their gums. 🙂
I don’t expect to save anyone, only in some small way help whomever is interested in ending well in a bad situation. Stiff upper lip, and all that.
My point was to describe that I believe it’s all coming down to a single personal choice, and any communal efforts are temporary at best. That’s what I was writing about – my own personal choice and generally why I have made it. Each one of us has to make that for themselves.
We have an incredibly strong survival instinct, and of course we would all scramble for whatever haven seems available, but of what permanent use is there for a liferaft if, as the ship is going down, the eye of the hurricane has just passed us by? A simplistic graphic and only my opinion, regardless of how accurate I believe it is.
I know you see it differently, but I have an eternal hope, which is why I can pull back and generally observe without getting too drawn in. Gives a clarity that those to whom this world is everything tend to not have. Too vested in a desired outcome. And I have to constantly self-check myself for that very temptation.
I do appreciate your attitude about that sort of thing. Usually. 😉
We are not that far apart…
Heroes are overrated
Having found only
Faint Rumours of Glory
In a system rotted
to the core.
Of course, religions don’t have to be just old-timey fables. The Green New Deal is a religion. The whole AI/Singularity movement is a religion. They promise renewed life and prosperity out of thin air against all the laws of biology, physics, and chemistry. People apparently need to believe in the super-natural. The natural is just not good enough. It’s beneath them, somehow.
I think it’s fascinating that the majority of people prefer to believe in untruths.
Hey TS,
Thank you for that heartfelt, erudite, and very thought-provoking comment on Jim’s scathing and timely call-to-action; as it were.
It’s something I think about every day as well.
Many people don’t realize how the Bible offers many historical patterns from which to consider contemporary responses. In March of 2018, I considered some of these in an article entitled:
“Destiny Looms: Choose Your Way or it Drags You”
I guess you could say it was my heartfelt response at the time. Whether or not there are any real answers therein remains in the eye of the beholder but, perhaps, the considerations themselves have merit regardless of any one individual’s belief system.
From the conclusion of that article:
And here we are… once again, on the historical verge.
Good luck and if we don’t meet in the middle, maybe I’ll see ya on the other side
Unc. –
Exactly. This ain’t 1776. I’ve said that many times over the last several years.
I certainly expect us to meet on the eternal shore. Maybe we can go glory-surfing.
Unfortunately, I have close friends that are very bright, patriotic but do nothingers. They will never fight, voice an opinion too strong, in short they are cowards. They will whine and bitch in the future how their kids got screwed or even literally taped but they are to much of a coward to put it all on the line. One has to wonder how many alive today are descendants from cowards for all the brave were busy dying……one has to wonder what it would absolutely take to make a coward become brave? In what time line, problem, situation would they become brave, if at all?
John.
Good soil breeds poor soldiers.
what if fighting is a declaration of war on god’s judgment on america for being a homo heathen republic founded by freemasons
What’s happened is that TPTB have put a bullet in the back of the head of “the economy”. Most liberals and normies have been trained to think of “the economy” as fat cats, which is only partially correct. They argue about “saving lives” versus “saving the economy”, not understanding that “the economy” is us, and every business is “essential” to the person running it.
Sadly, the country is like one of those meth-head home invaders: fatally shot but hasn’t realized it yet.
I don’t want to cast aspersions on the more self-reliant folk here, like HSF. I aspired to that, and find myself currently stranded by the edicts against construction. I thought his admission that he couldn’t keep his normal pig herd without relying on restaurant waste was interesting; I don’t know anyone doing pastured pigs who doesn’t rely on external inputs. I don’t know of any homesteaders with zero mod-cons who are feeding themselves. Permaculture was a pipe dream I bought into for a short while. You’re right that HSF will have bought himself a little time, but none of us reading and writing here will come through a collapse of Industrial Civilization, I don’t think.
I’ve known for a long time that material wealth could not keep increasing, especially on a per-capita basis. I’ve known for a long time that money was broken, since a future poorer than the present does not support interest-based debt money.
As an atheist, I only push back when the threads fill up with unhelpful mumbo-jumbo. I guess why I “care” is that the same people who seem to be quick to detect bullshit when it’s on offer from government will eat bullshit up with a spoon when offered by pastors.
My eyes are wide open. Have been for a while. I’m not afraid of death, and I don’t *need* to persist thereafter. I find preoccupations with an afterlife (while common) rather unseemly. Way more pixels are wasted here with bible verses than any atheist comments. Way more pro-religion upvotes… so why the rant, if you don’t care? (Clearly, you care.)
I like your “Top O’ the World, Ma!!” feistyness, though!
We’re still feeding pigs we’ve just reduced the swineherd. To make up for what we lost we’ve already planted enough extra pumpkins, rutabagas, etc to make up for the difference.
But that wasn’t the point you were making.
Yes, everything in the modern world is part of a complex interlocking scheme of interdependency and layered systems and this epoch is akin to a civilizational pocket watch falling onto the pavement and breaking into a hundred pieces. The pieces are all there, but it’s never going to be a pocket watch again.
Here’s the thing, when you say things like “none of us will come through a collapse of industrial civilization” that’s hyperbole. Plenty of people will come through, some just fine others not so much and yes a lot of people are going to suffer and die, many times more than from this strain of the flu and across the board in terms of age and health, not just the elderly and the obese.
Doing something- like what we’re doing- is better than doing nothing, or pretending things are going to go back to the way they were because they aren’t. At least we’re flexible, and we’re looking to ourselves not government or some job working for some corporation and living this anti-human existence they conned everyone into living for the past 50 years. People are going to learn pretty damn quick that what you can count on is you and the people in your immediate circle.
I know this all seems frightening because it came about suddenly, but it didn’t really, did it? We’ve all been talking about it here for at least the last ten years. This is part of that T4T cycle that humanity goes through and there’s no getting around it or talking our way out of it. It’s time to decide if you even want to make it through to the other side or if you want to try out a way of life that’s coming whether you want it or not.
HSF, when I said “us”, I meant us here connected on the InterTubes. It might be hyperbolic; maybe not. It’s an opinion. “At least x.. at least y…” My comment wasn’t intended to put you on the defensive. I agree wholeheartedly with what you are doing. I didn’t say that isn’t a good way to spend your time.
While I am not exactly frightened by the prospects I’ve been contemplating for a while, I am surprised by this sudden co-ordinated “flip the table over” game move. I figured on a weakening, a crumbling.. not an outright assassination of BAU.
Here’s why I am not optimistic: I’ve been watching the whole peak-oil thing for a while. Steve Ludlum and Gail Tverberg have explained why oil prices are being driven by demand (we’ve seen this in spades these past weeks) rather than supply. Oil prices too low for producers puts them out of business. Expensive oil will stay in the ground, never to see the light of day.
TPTB are pretty much aware of this, which is why they are all “mandating” the electric-car nonsense. Anywhoo, after this, that, and the other thing, you’ve got to imagine a world with zero fossil-fuels anymore. Maybe if you lived near an old coal mine, you might recuperate something, but basically figure no FF. That means not only no diesel-fuel- or gas-powered vehicles, but ultimately no ‘lectricity. Fine, you say.. maybe you’ll get by without a tractor, without electric fencing, without a gas stove, an electric chicken brooder, grain from the feed store… As the canning jars break one-by-one, and the metal lids corrode, you’ll just dehydrate things…
And then the 400+ nuclear power plants melt down.
That’s kind of a deal breaker for me. I don’t get to “decide” about it.
And did I see this coming? Of course. That the nukes would all go blooey at some point was baked into the nuclear-project cake: just as predictable as the trajectory of a bullet out of a gun.
There’s a reason Steve Wozniak and a bunch of those types bugged out to NZ: no nukes there, and very few in the southern hemisphere from which to receive fallout.
By “expensive oil”, I meant oil that’s too expensive for producers to extract.
That’s why we see Trump trying to drive prices up, although it seems paradoxical. I think there could be a good chance of the oil co.s getting nationalized (not that everything hasn’t been effectively nationalized via the Fed.. but in a more outright fashion).
All beasts, they hunger, and eat, and die,
and so do we, and the world ‘s a sty.
So hush, fellow swine, why nuzzle and cry?
Swinehood hath no remedy. –Sidney Lanier
@CB
…and yeah I saw through the “I don’t care” too!
We all care here or we wouldn’t be here!
That was a most excellent retort Chubby! I do though think that you are being a tad pessimistic in saying that none are going to make it thru this and to the other side. A quick glance in the history books will show that some always do.. It might be true that the Barbarians are in Rome. However, its still in doubt if the Estates and Monasteries will be burnt to the ground.. me being a half glass full guy these days, I’m trying to remain optimistic. It is a near certainty that there will be a shitstorm. And yet some will still find a way..
Farmers like Scrabble will probably make it. That though will hinge on the ifs and buts of their debts in the current interlocking scheme crossing the Rubicon intact. Further to that it will also depend on the protection of Odoacer on the other side. The juggle has many moving parts!
I agree with you with the difficulty of living off the avails of a small farm but it can be done…. The problem is that a different lifestyle and mindset is required. One that’s hardly taught by anyone..
Most everyone has been schooled to watch The Waltons instead of being one..
Problem is, that even for John Boy, when shit gets real the song is being sung..
Good post, TS. As always you cut to the chase and put it all out there. I, too was distracted by all the side discussions on Part 1. I usually enjoy the comments as much as the essay.
“Hell, they could have a market list of who to take out that day.” There is no doubt, in my mind, they have compiled lists of those they fear the most and will send in a team of mercs to take them out before the shitstorm actually begins. I figure we each have a dossier with a score and it is being tracked by some AI computer. Who knows, you may be a second level target, but because you live near a primary target, they take you out, just to save a second trip to the neighborhood.
I choose to live my life and go about my business, but always try to be aware of my surroundings and what is going on in the area.
TS, damn straight. Our hearts are in the same place. I sent your comment to my wife who’s out of town attending to her sick mother. Told her that your rant was me for better or for worse. The test is coming for us all. Best of luck… Chip
Great minds think alike.
Or is that ‘fools seldom differ’. 🙂
I enjoy your writing.
I keep hearing about “digital stamping” “digital currency” “digital immune certificates” etc
My rifle isn’t digital. Neither are the cartridges. Make of that what you will.

I find a bit of cold comfort in the fact that non of that shit works without a functioning electrical grid.
CB, I tried to comment much earlier but my phone is not allowing comments for some reason and I can’t be on my computer all the time.
I was going to mention how old and decrepit our grid is, too.
I was interested in your fight to finish your barn. What would happen if you just kept building it? If you are out in the country, how would they know? Sorry, I forgot what the problem was that is holding up construction.
We got an informal ok to keep building, but the builder is stuck in NY, across the state line. He has the giant doors in his shop. He’d rather keep working on the house frame there and wait out the virus. Without the doors, there’s not much point in our cobbling something together that’d need to get re-done later. I’m resigned atm. Thanks for thinking of me and checking in, though.
Grandson is stuck in Buffalo with his dad but home is KS. He wants to come back. Not sure when that will happen since things are so complicated in more ways than one.
Thanks for the update on your barn.
As long as there is food to be bought, sportsball, movies and TeeVee provided as entertainments; lots of great time wasters on the Internet , and don’t forget prodigious amounts of free porn, nothing’s going to happen. Add “free” money and the Lumpen are content* with enforced leisure irrespective of how the entire society is being flushed down the toilet.
On the other hand, Jamie Dimon and his Evil Fucker controllers laugh and sneer at the predicament. He summons his limo; heads to Teterboro or where ever he keeps his corporate, tax write-off personal jet parked. Says he’s going to Washington, D.C. but instead the pilot air-files a new flight plan and changes course en-route to Georgetown, Cayman Islands for a meeting of other investment bankers, their principals and friends. Champagne, surf and turf and plenty of nubiles for dessert on the menu…..Life IS still very, very good.
This shit doesn’t end until someone stands up and says “NO MORE!”

2 Corinthians 6:1-10 KJB… “We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.”
I will send these articles to those I know in the hope they read them. A few certainly will. Thank you sir admin.
On point. A good summary of what’s happening.
I will say, though, that it’s unlikely the horde will rebel at all. As long as Joe gets his six pack and sportsball, he’ll slave away all week for a pittance with a fucking smile on his face.
This gaming thrust upon middle America has been ramping up for 40 years . Very few working Americans have not been severely impacted from the deliberate damage to the nations economic well being for the benefit of such a small minority .
The extreme wealthy and politically connected individuals and of course those employed within the system have hardly noticed a ripple of inconvenience while the former tax base that supported government employees was crushed , dismantled and replaced with a flood of cheap consumer products and debt ! Teachers , Police and a majority of those in government employ still consume still retire with life left to live while others are bankrupted to support and told they should have saved and invested better ! As we the great unwashed are witnessing and being told this our expenses increased as our income and buying power decreased . Somehow we are to accept the narrative that it’s our fault as we continue now to work till we drop to support a class of our neighbors who kick back with a 20 to 30 year underfunded retirement and are forced by law to make up the shortage . This is done regardless of the continuous loss of financial ground to us at the point of a gun held by a government employee who benefits by our demise !
This will not end well !
There’s universal support for the lock-down among the well-off and retired in my town, and the managerial class who are still getting paid to work-from-home and possibly prefer it. I’m a class traitor who makes them feel uncomfortable when I ask if they have thought about all the ruined businesses and ruined lives. The once-working stiffs don’t seem to know what to make of it. They don’t seem angry yet.. more like their dog just died.
Everyone keeps doing the same thing and they keep losing.
The dimwits on here downvote the lawful solutions presented that they have never even tried.
What does this say about the crowd here?
Not much, we are doomed.
From Fierce Creatures –
Kevin Kline – It’s brilliant. It’s never been done before!
Jamie Lee Curtis – Try to work out why.
The dimwits on here downvote the lawful solutions presented that they have never even tried.
Says more about you and your level of perception than it does them. If the foundation is rotten, and verifiably so, of what use is a nice new paint job?
So, against all the available evidence, is everything hunky-dory in your world-view? You a lawyer? Maybe you’re a painter. Or is that too obscure and abstract for you?
What does this say about the crowd here?
It says that the crowd here mirrors society at large. There are the dull witted down voters who reflexively down vote those whom they harbor a grudge against, they are the facebook, social media types who never got beyond middle school, both mentally and emotionally. They cannot think for themselves, slavishly follow trends and mass media scripts read by cult like celebrity personalities.
Then there are those who have woken but are new to the game, they want to know what to do, how to proceed and who to listen to or follow. They mean well and are paying attention.
Then there are the old farts who have been there, done that and have the tshirts and scars to prove it.
Then there are those who truly are in the know, they aren’t showy or pushy, they toss out these little gems and those who are perceptive will catch them.
Girl, quit being so sensitive to downvotes. It comes with the territory. Get over it already because they never go away. It bothered me at first, now I don’t give a rats turd about it.
Girl, quit being so sensitive to downvotes.
Hey, I think I managed to describe the mentality of most down voters and daresay I was pretty accurate and I enjoyed doing so. In reality I think of them as a shark must think of remora fish, a small insignificant organism that hangs around hoping to grasp small morsels of flesh, largely ignored by the shark. I saw a video of a shark with remora and was suprised at how small they were. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. BTW:do we know where MG is? I miss her.
I was wondering where she’s been, too. Sometimes she ducks out for a while then pops back in.
Sometimes I throw in some downvotes just because I’m contrary and a bit ornery.
I can’t be on my computer all day and my phone isn’t allowing some of my comments to post. Not sure what is going on there. Just one more weird thing, I guess.
What difference does it make Mygirl? We will all be dead of the virus in a year,
Damn son, your optimism is over the top and yes, I know you were being sarcastic.
Then there are those that downvote just to grab the popcorn and await your reaction….
Yep. In the infinite wisdom of great americans when faced with absolute despotism-

To Administrator –
Undoubtedly the best article and analysis I’ve read to date anywhere on the web. And, yes, I too remember the movie, The Deer Hunter and the scene with Di Niro and Walken and the Russian roulette which culminated in a glorious hail of gunfire killing all their captors and the final break for freedom.
As you stated, there are millions of well-armed American citizens trapped/imprisoned in their homes right now.
It’s only a short matter of time when the Deer Hunter scene is played out once again … only this time it will be for real.
WE TRAVELED AROUND THE USA,handingout DVD’S and copies of what the Government was doing,RIGHT OUT OF THEIR OWN RECORDS,we were laughed at spit on and called UNAMERICAN,they threw beer cans at us,(not always emply ones)AND we did that,for fifteen years,we went door to door in towns all over america and the worse resistance we got was AMERICAS HERO’S, THE POLICE GANGS attacking us for what we were doing,OVER A MILLION AND A HAFT FLYERS,hundreds of thousands of DVDS,we paid for everything,IT WAS ALL FREE,all we asked was to make copies and give them out to everyone,NOW ITS ALL COMING TO PASS,their goingto KILL all you cowards and you dammed well deserve it,THEY SOLD YOUR COUNTRY TO CHINA,and all the people for Slaves,THATS YOUR FUTURE,and your kids don’t know it yet,YOU SOLD them and the government sold you,AMERICANS ARE NOTHING BUT YELLOW LOSERS,and ALL of you will die in a slave labor camp,GOOD RIDDENCE,we know your to cowardly to fight these criminals….THE REALLY good news is NONE OF YOU WILL GET INTO HEAVEN ,GOD HATES COWARDS….
Hard to believe people didn’t take to your message.
HSF –
I know, huh. They must hate God, that’s the answer.
Yeah, if ever there was a message to inspire and uplift, this would be it….not.
HSF – to hell with you! You made me spit coffee down my shirt I was laughing so hard. One of the funniest lines I have read in ages.
You still got it!
Behind the snark, what is your substance? Truth is a contest for popularity with subhumans? Truth is bias for reality. Truth discriminates. Truth >> stupid people of any number this late in the decline. The time to bet on popularity among the stupid has come and gone. I found Arizona’s comment refreshing. Time to let the chaff die under its own weight, praise Jesus.
Westboro Baptist Church reads TBP?
TC –
That is exactly what I was thinking.
OMG, that was a good one, TC
Hmmm, Arizona you must not be American and have a deep resume of effecting change…..
What is natural manure? The blood of patriots and tyrants. You know who the patriots were during the American Revolution? You such a good patriot. Tom Brady loves you.
My specialty is public policy/evaluation/statistics. To oversimplify matters the virus is a health care & public policy issue. As Jim’s article proves, the public policy side has been completely botched. I’ve said almost from the beginning we need the denominator; we need to know the proportion of the population exposed & infected. This would be unbelievably simple to determine: select random samples of the population and test them for the virus. 1000 people would do. Do this weekly. Each study would cost in the low hundreds of thousands–I know because this is precisely the sort of work I made my living at. If we find out a great percentage of the population has already been exposed; no use shutting everything down because it’s too late. Given a reliable estimate of the denominator, we’ll be able to calculate the real death rate. If it’s 0.1% or 0.2%, which many experts are guessing, no use shutting everything down. If on the other hand, Covid-19 is much more deadly or if the exposure rate has thus far been low, maybe some policy decisions made are justifiable (e.g, no large-scale gatherings). The point is, we don’t know, and it would be a trivial matter to determine. Why the hell hasn’t this been done? Because the virus is perfect cover for the crash that had to happen? Because it’s easy to pull off the biggest robbery in history when people are cowering in their homes?
We know all we need to know. This year flu, pneumonia, etc. deaths are up over last year. However, they are lower than the 2017-2019 season. That year, we didn’t do any of this panic mongering, didn’t stomp on civil liberties, and didn’t shut down the economy. This year the Governor of Maryland declared a statewide emergency on March 5 claiming the state was facing a health crisis unlike anything seen before – when there were 2 death. It was an obvious lie. He, and his fellow travelers in on the tyranny train need to be held to account.

Dan – we need to know what Bob P has said, and I have said. This virus is still an unknown quantity. At the moment we do not know the infection or mortality rates and will not know that until random sampling is done.
Yes, there are lies galore. But facts and data are still important.
One bit of data, one fact, is abundantly clear. That we don’t know the infection or mortality rates. That the virus is still an unknown quantity.
What conclusions can be drawn from that fact alone?
The fact of sovereignty is more important than the fact of one specific cold pathology that in no way can change the power structure. You presume luxuries we don’t have by a long shot. The time for problem analysis has been over for a decade. That is my point. That is @Arizona’s point. Do try and catch up to reality.
Because it’s easy to pull off the biggest robbery in history when people are cowering in their homes?
BINGO!
Not to ruin your high, high MyG but BINGO!…..we all figured that out some time ago.
We did? Well damn. That was a downer, thanks.
Spot on Bob. As per Sun Tuz know not your enemy and you’ll get pummeled.
Not so fast. If their agenda is depopulation then a couple of strains get released that hits some highly populated areas using that data as “justification” for lockdown which was waaay too easy. The areas like most of the USA realize it’s not so bad and Trump declares victory over the big bad virus in the greatest economy evah. Then a couple more strains get released (more deadly than the last) when John Q is thoroughly convinced Corona was a nothingburger or the other camp thinks they were saved from certain death. Remember ((they)) play the long game. Open it back up, yes, even though the damage is already done and when the next strains hit then we must realize that we cannot and will not save everyone from themselves. Get sick, stay home and recover or die. Unfortunately, that’s not how modern society rolls these days… not like the past when people actually weighed the risks for themselves and suffered the consequences of their decisions or survived.
The government does not want us to weigh the risks and make our own decisions. Don’t you read the articles by Eric Peters? “It’s for our own SAAAAAAFETY”. The nanny state does what a nanny state does.
It won’t be too long before it starts lighting up – we must ensure we go after those who created the chaos and rid ourselves of every last one of them that did not support the constitutions of their state nor of the united states. we must seek out and destroy every last anti-nation, anti-US person by review of their voting record and their talking points. We must remove those in government who have committed treason against the people of our nation. When we light it up, we must not stop until we clean out every state of all their anti-US, anti-American officials, leaders, and influencers. Any media owned by any anti-American must be permanently shut down. There is a lot of clean up to be done, but since they lit it up on us, we’re gonna light it up on them.
OK, enough frivolities. Time to go cowboy. I’ll be by tonight to see what spears of illumination streak across this ethersphere.
Two+ years ago Tim Xrugger and me tried to drum up input for what to to about our situation and what to replace it with if we succeeded. We got Diddly Squat beyond some hoots and howls about “Careful” you’ll get the site booted off the net.
So, here we are two years later confined to our homes cowering like pussies discussing symptoms like a virus just like two years ago. Above at 1:38 BL asked me what the plan was.
I offered one with links to kids who are doing things and a link describing why we should so that readers could flesh it out and debate something besides vote our way out of the mess or just revolt and take what comes in it’s wake.
1.5 hours later not a single reply other than an anonypussy telling me it won’t work because of snitches.
You don’t have to like my plan but nobody is offering anything besides more whining and sniveling or debating which government flunky is more or less honest.
I can only offer this, securing land is paramount, the foundation of freedom and liberty. If you do not have this, you are dependent, i.e. not free. This has been foundational truth for all of America, for all time.
Clarity on this will be achieved either way, shortly. The Good. Many still understand this across vast swaths of the United States. The Bad. Record numbers of Americans have no idea what I am talking about. The Ugly. Most of theses never will.
Otto.
They intend to use herbicides on any resisters just like we did in Nam. Unless there is a means of preventing it nobody will be allowed to grow outside the system. They could care less about killing or starving people. If we haven’t learned that yet we really are doomed. There will be no cameras or CNN or Fox to deter them from committing atrocities galore. For them that is a blood sacrifice to the Hybrids.
Land is indeed necessary; but, can you keep it? You are still dependent on a system of laws, and titles, and taxes that IS the system. Ownership = control: Control = ownership. In society governments and laws remove the necessity of maintaining and personally enforcing control physically 24/7. When the governments and laws turn against you and become the threat you must defend your control against, you’ve got a problem bigger than merely legally “securing” land.
No, you never have a bigger problem than securing land. Were you inferring that I was unaware of the difficulties you listed?
Did I make it sound easy?
Good luck with yours.
“you never have a bigger problem than securing land”
You are correct. I said “legally” securing land because, yes, I wrongly thought that you weren’t taking the mentioned difficulties into account.
Sorry, I didn’t mean insult by it. It’s just that I’ve been thinking a lot lately about those difficulties — never thought I’d have to until recently.
My bad.
100. I win.
This one?
Pre-congrats on your pre-ring grab.

Congrats on your ring grab.
It seems the the lucky happenstance of 100 years of government public schools to dumb down citizens and 100 years of corrupt central banking with fractional reserves almost seem to fit together as pieces of a humungous jigsaw puzzle. John Dewey’s functional psychology, emphasis on democracy and humanism have devolved in these 100 years into “If it feels good, do it”. Now the sheeple have been living lives of depravity and an understanding of spiritual life is now being withheld from them based on their rejection of Christ’s sacrifice. There will probably be no uprising of the sheeple to reinvent freedom and liberty because they are pretty much content, unable to understand that they have been enslaved. Expect to see the disappearance of a considerable number of liberty lovers soon and then the moderating influence of the Holy Spirit will be totally removed from society and then real chaos will begin. Anti-Christ is already here, the False Prophet is already here, the one world religion is already here. Study the Gospels and get ready to exist without the Mark of the Beast.
Study Romans. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are Old Testament books. The law is still in effect and a new testament cannot be in effect till after the death of the testator. The Hebrew epistles are New Testament books. Paul’s 13 epistles are “no testament” or “grace” books and Romans, as the first, builds the foundation of Christian character.
Admin is, of course, spot on. It is hard to believe that anybody is still debating what is coming down the pike. Yes, we are entering a full-blown police state to be followed by civil disobidience and then civil war or insurgency. It is as obvious as the nose on your face. Clever of them to use this corona virus farce to try to save themselves, though. It will take several month for the blacks and white underclass to lose their fear and then the shit will truly hit the fan. They will be crushed underfoot but their lashing out will prepare the ground for the real war. The reaction by the powers that be (and the loss of jobs, income, status and security) will radicalize the former middle class. It is hardly a revelation to explain that the runined middle class is by far the most dangerous enemy of a corrupt established order. Poor people are generally not too bright, have various social pathologies, and can’t figure things out or plan ahead. They also have a disordered moral sense. Needless to say, these things combine to make them poor. The middle class, however, has brains, the ability to plan, residual means even after financial disaster, education, training, a relatively strong moral sense, and are outraged when, having followed the rules, they are dispossessed. What is most dangerous for our rotten oligarchs, however, is that the middle class understands them, has contempt for them, and knows that they are the enemy. The average middle class person is just as smart and talented as any billionaire. The difference is that their moral code has kept them from playing the games that make you rich. When this class loses all it has, then the game is over for the swine at the top.

I’m going to make this a post. You said in a few paragraphs what takes me 4,000 words.
Black people are already starting to get pissed off because more fat blacks are dying than any other race, although I think I heard it was hitting Hispanics just as hard. I can’t check it because I can’t get a new tab to pop up. I think my internet is getting ready to go down.
Mary, is it wrong to not give a shit? Blacks had their chance to make better choices.
Asians, blacks and Hispanics seem to be hardest hit. Knowing the satanic overlords, it’s by design.
Asians in China, BL, but not here for some reason. Must have been a different strain, huh?
Excellent summation from the Southern gentleman.
‘and are outraged when, having followed the rules, they are dispossessed.’
You can fucking say that again. But first kill all the Karens.
There are no rules when an inflection occurs…
Spot on SS… Chip
“the game is over for the swine at the top”
From your lips to God’s ears… 😉
“The middle class, however, has ..”
The what? Is that an Old English term, or Middle English? Sorry, I’m not an historian.
As far as I recall from history class, the “Middle Class” describes what used to be a significant segment of society that all owned televisions and believed what came out of them, and later, when they were dumb enough, they had to be given mobile telephones to make up for what they had lost — these were called “smart phones” and were meant to replace functioning brains — and they all had Facebook and Twitter accounts, but almost all still thought what they were told to think by the media on their telescreens.
Sheep do not revolt.
“If you all come out now, a bunch of you are going to get sick. If you hold off until May 1, even more of you are going to get sick, and we’ll be in the worst economic depression the world has ever known due to a complete lack of engaging in economy.
If you all hide until September, you’re still going to get sick, and at the worst time of year for it–October-December, just like the flu and other colds. More people will die on top of everyone who’s starving to death because we will have literally no economy left. (And I realize idiots don’t believe this is true, even though in just two weeks we’ve gone from 3% unemployment to 10%. It’ll be 20% by next week, and likely hit 40% by the end of April, if we don’t stop the stupidity right now.)” – Michael Z. Williamson

All the blue haired antifa will soon be schooled in how to protest and be bewildered by just who they almost picked a fight with.

“You work for us”
Amazing how people occasionally remember how it’s supposed to work, and continue fooling themselves into believing that that’s how it actually does work.
You have not BOTHERED to HANG the 535 Congogressmen + 1 Nerogro for high, higher, highest TREASON. Now they fit to see you LOCKED at home for not enfarcing the law.
Get it?
Blather – we have been waiting for you to start the hanging. Why have you not done something?
Llpoh.
He conveniently forgot his rope. He named himself truthfully.
Flea –
Yep, Blathering Bullshit.
Convenient typo?
The law, generally, is already “enfarced”.
0.018% MR? Off by two orders of magnitude and change, I think. We’ll see, I guess.
Anyway, paper on chloroquine vs SARS, in vitro.

It’s from 2005.
The FDA and CDC exist to make money for the pharmaceutical corporations. Hard to do with an out of patent medication, which costs maybe $20 to $30, or less, for the entire course of treatment.
Drs Birx and Fauci are not going to like this……
and Bill Gates wants to get it permanently removed.
Thought it interesting that this was “withdrawn”:

The only study I could find assessing accuracy of Covid Tests. The takeaway was a large number of false negatives, but, more importantly more than 80% FALSE POSITIVES.
Now, amazingly, it’s gone. What other studies assessing the accuracy of Covid Testing are out there?
SUPERB work Sir, as usual!!
Here is a Formal letter to Trump from Armstrong, which I have sent and distributed to other blog sites to get more distribution. The INSANITY of the lock down is properly compared to killing a good viable body to avoid the loss of a few frost bite fingers and toes.
Armstrong, who spent 11 years in the slammer for fraud, and who claims his computer is never wrong, as it is a clone of himself? Too funny.
I went to the Orlando WEC conference Armstrong put on in October 2019. He predicted a market top for late January 2020, and recommended to got to all cash by The end of Jan 2020. His computer predicted a Massive unemployment spike of 30% starting late March going into May 2020. He even said he questioned the unemployment spike, as he could not see what would cause such a drastic, rapid rise in unemployment, as it took 2 years for unemployment to get to 30% during the “Great Depression”. He also said whenever he doubts the predictions produced, that he is the one that is also wrong. He predicted a dead cat bounce starting in April, and then new lows by late May. I have it all on Vimeo recording supplied to attendees.
He also has his lawsuit going to the supreme court so ya whatever.
Long time – so, he writes a letter to the Supreme Court, and you claim he has a lawsuit in front of them? Are you a complete imbecile?
They are never going to hear that shit. Never.
This guy is a convicted fraudster, and all he does is try to self-promote so gullible folks give him money. He claims to have use of a supercomputer. Check out the facts on that and see what you come up with. He has made all sorts of predictions, mostly not so good.
“The chaff will need to burn.”
Six words so true.
Ben Franklin quoting Hamilton;
“Any individual or entity that will give up their liberty (freedom) for security deserves neither and will lose both.”
An Obama administrator said;
“We’re not going to take their freedom away, we’re going to watch them give it away.”
World Bank administrator;
“If you can’t see it and you can’t feel it,……. then it’s not yours.”
Me;
Why the face mask when you can’t quarantine a fart?
What next, pampers worn outside of your clothing as proof of protection?
And the streets remain empty.
Ben Franklin quoting Alexander Levine. Fixed it for ya.
