For now, the public seems to want nothing more than to breathe a little easier — that is without masks on our faces after a year of Covid-19 paranoia — and attempt to return to something like normal life. It’s like an “all-clear” siren went off the past week and a consensus swept the land that can be summed up as we’re done with that. There were zero cases of Covid-19 in my upstate New York county the past week and now the few people going around still-masked begin to look a little like whack-jobs acting out a stupid morality play.

The official Covid-19 narrative took quite a beating last month, but the bottom line of it all is hardly reassuring. The main theme of the narrative was the insistence by public health authorities at the highest level, staunchly supported by the compliant news media, that the disease did not originate in the Wuhan, China, virology lab. They kept the story going all year. Then, just days ago, the narrative flipped and is suddenly accepted as self-evident: of course, the virus came out of the Wuhan lab! (Jon Stewart shouted this out right in Stephen Colbert’s contorted face on TV.) Dr. Fauci’s email trail says as much, along with videos of his colleague Peter Daszek bragging on it as far back as 2012, with plenty of supporting evidence from various Chinese scientists.

But the flip-flop on Wuhan leaves some extremely uncomfortable questions that the nation is too distracted (or dishonest) to debate in the public forum, the public forum these days being mostly social media: Twitter and Facebook. And it’s not altogether clear whether they will continue to suppress discussion about the origin of the virus, and issues arising out of that — though they risk looking tyrannically obtuse if they keep up the gaslighting. And in these sorry years of anything goes and nothing matters, Zuck and Jack may never have to answer for their craven deeds.

The biggest question that the authorities want to evade is: if the virus did originate from the Wuhan lab, was it released by accident… or on purpose? The “Joe Biden” government is now forced to, at least, pretend that it will investigate. My guess is: they don’t want to know. It would raise enough subsidiary questions to leave a normal person panting with nausea. For instance: was China trying to soften-up the USA by disabling our economy? And soften us up… for what? Some observers who are hardly dumb or crazy think that China wants to reduce the USA to a vassal nation that can only supply China with food, oil, and other resources.

Sound far-fetched? Maybe. After all, we still have that fleet of submarines armed with multiple-warhead nuclear missiles circulating around the oceans as a kind of insurance policy. But Americans have to do something to make a living, and it sure isn’t going to be mass production of consumer goods, like in the old days. Meanwhile, the infrastructure of the service economy got gutted during the lockdowns — millions of businesses bankrupted, restaurants, yoga studios, concert venues, dog groomers, shops of all kinds, you name it — gone, and a lot of the people who took livelihoods from all that are financially ruined for good.

What’s left? Health care and pharma, two odious rackets preying on the psychological weakness of people so beaten down by adversity that they can only console themselves with junk food, liquor, sexual debauchery, and drugs, and then must beg the health care system to fix them — after which it squashes them to death with outlandish charges for services rendered? Or government, another reprehensible racket, seeking desperately now to control its citizens’ every move while everything it does is not only running wildly out of control, but via the most idiotic, suicidal policies — such as throwing the border with Mexico wide open to all comers, while it pays Americans to not work.

The leading government policy just now is to hector, browbeat, and coerce Americans to get vaxed-up with vaccines that appear to be pretty hazardous. The Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines so far (which is not very far) have produced more deaths and adverse events than all the other vaccines for all other diseases developed in the past thirty years, and we have no idea what the long-term effects will be of a spike protein that likes to damage blood vessels, brains, and reproductive organs. That’s another thing the news and social media don’t want the public to inform themselves about, not to mention the scientifically-based opinion that vaccinating a populace in the middle of an epidemic is pretty certain to provoke the evolution of new and more dangerous variants of the disease agent.

For now, all these mighty issues stand aside while Americans enjoy some early summer days of liberation from a long nightmare. Coincidentally, the Democratic Party has just now engineered two separate-but-equal Independence Days for America: Juneteenth, for People of Color, and the familiar old Fourth of July for everybody else. Isn’t that a fine way to reinforce the idea that we are irreconcilably so far apart?

More war-mongering? I see much more blame for the loss of our manufacturing base to the global elites than China. It was the Rockefeller gang along with Brzezinski and Kissenger who paved that road 50 years ago. These are the same monsters who want to implant chips into our children to turn them into contented slaves. Follow Corbett!

JHK didn’t touch on how this looks exactly like a biowarfare attack by the USA. Means, motive, and opportunity with a 2 layer deniability case (1-bats did it, 2-China did it). It seems suspicious that the leadership in Iran was hit with it while it was initially breaking out in China. Both of our main enemies. Convenient.
I suppose we’ll never know, unless someone digs through the ashes and discovers the papers.

It’s as plausible as the calling out the Chinese. Who is killing innocent people around the world? China, hardly.

Amen on that! There’s one thing people need to think about. When we see narratives in the press that ” The fake virus came from China” , all that means is 1) They are lying, as they ALWAYS lie, and 2) The thing started in America. Evidently their virus didn’t work right, but that’s okay, they’re still making a shit load of money off of it.

The entire point of the exercise vis a vis the politicians, the media, the corporations, Big Pharma, the technocrats and the rest of the Globalist cabal is to destroy the United States from within. Globalists need America gone and gone it soon will be. America WAS the only bulwark against global totalitarianism, it used to be where people ran to for freedom from oppression. Now those running here illegally are doing so for all the freebies and handouts, forget the freedom bit because America is now a conquered nation and it’s only a matter of time before the beast succeeds in consuming it completely.

Being able to run around maskless is great, isn’t it? Fact is, there never should have been mask mandates, lockdowns, business shut downs, etc. in the first place. Rejoicing in a lifting of mandated oppression is like being happy that the chocolate rations were reduced rather than removed.

There is no going back, the coup was successful, the propaganda has succeeded and the vast majority of the country loves the boot on their collective faces. Big Nanny won, you will soon own nothing and you will be happy.

America WAS the only bulwark against global totalitarianism, it used to be where people ran to for freedom from oppression.

What is America? (1) North (Central) and South America? The government of the United States of America? The people of the United States of America?

What is freedom? (1) To live according to producer social norms? (2) To live according to consumer social norms?

America IS global terrorism. What global terrorism did we oppose before? Patriarchy? WASP culture and genetics? O it’s so good if its good for you, but the Chick-unzz be commn home, to roost. Sad, when you get your political narrative opinions from Gone Sanity at Crox News.

Psalms 137:7-9:

7 Remember, LORD, what the Edomites [non-Jews] did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

This is a biological world for men who will kill to have their way of life.

There is a social reason why non-white people in America hate white people and culture. It’s your smug narrative based on getting yours without being fearsome, without being dangerous, just smug. Herd animals hate low rank and smell change. They smell your smug pampered whiteness, your privilege without white men to protect it. Blue men are not white men, they are empty puppets who gave their souls to the state apparatus, more than you, and to them will go the spoils before you.

More than your comment, this sermon is educational (let them learn in silence, St. (((Peter)))):

Furthermore, I apologize for increasing the comment traffic with my globally recognized wit and trenchant perspicuity. lol I feed on down votes. I need triple figs! A whore is a whore, O Babylon. And an alien is an alien that simply wants to have what you are trained to vilify.

The power of open conquest, of sovereignty and cultural supremacy. What second-place culture can survive on the face of the earth? The winners will dash indeed. It is a biological world, and women are not men. This word is not said enough: patriarchy. Virile white men not of government who enforced social norms before the po-po took that privilege for pensions, who could escalate to killing and remove pests of producer potential, those men are dead and gone. We are unworthy heirs, and the proof is all around us.

Otherwise, Muhgirl, your comment was a fair summary. Tits or GTFO. lulzlzlulzlzlzlullzzl

Iska, I took your question seriously, but then I realized the dry humor. I’m not sure which way you mean it. I simply hope that there is no prion shedding, and live while I can. One has to think that the elite would be no less exposed, but that does not mean that IYI has limits to environmental meddling.

The normalization of absurdities and perversions across the spectrum continues unabated.
One would think we have all lost our collective minds.
No, we haven’t. It’s those in positions of power that are working a nefarious agenda to destroy the fabric that has held the country together since its inception.
Morality and equality is what made us a great nation. Immorality and equity is attempting to destroy it for power and control over a once relatively free people.
This will end in disaster for the many and power and riches for the few if unchecked.
Make a fearless stand where you see this BS. Call it out no matter how trite it may seem at the time.
It’s a cancerous tumor that we as individuals might not be able to excise but we can kill it cell by cell.
BASTARDS.

And……Juneteenth? What the hell is that even supposed to mean? They want to celebrate their emancipation. So be it for them, but to use the ridiculous name of Juneteenth. It is not even proper English. Just one more slap at Western civilization. Every day this country slips further and further into a banana republic.

50+ years ago when I was in high school, the local blacks celebrated Juneteenth every year. When it fell on Saturday, as it does this year, the celebration (drunkenness) would start Friday afternoon and go well into Sunday morning. Any of the farmers who had a black hired hand knew they would not be worth killin the next day or two.

Just as turkey with stuffing proclaim THanksgiving; ham plus colored eggs mean Easter; hot dogs, hamburgers and BBQ are standard for the Fourth of July; Auntie wants to know what is the official alimentation (and drink) of the new federal Juneteenth holiday?

(A baited question if there ever was one.)

Bonus question: When do the American Indians get a paid day-off named Federal holiday e.g. Sitting Bull’s birthday? Yeah, Auntie thought so.

There is already an official food and drink for black gatherings. BBQ and red drink.

Fried chicken, watermelon and Mad Dog 20-20.

Hispanics will be the next in line for paid holidays to celebrate their “rich heritage and contribution to the American way of life.”

Never forget plenty of purple drank.

Typically, the base has been cough syrup, one that contains both promethazine and codeine…. To create a drinkable mixture, the cough syrup is combined with Sprite, Mountain Dew, or grape-flavored Fanta and is typically served in a foam cup. A hard candy, usually a Jolly Rancher, may be added to give the mixture a sweeter flavor.
