Stumbling Toward Reality

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who answers to the title “The Science” in certain circles, said this week that there are going to be two Americas, the vaxed and the unvaxed. Earth to Fr. Fauci: we are already two Americas: the reality-onboard and the reality-optional.

One reality is that vaccines developed at “warp speed” appear to have gnarly side-effects that can outweigh the risk of the disease they’re engineered to protect against. Another reality is that the Delta variant of SARS-Covid-19 is more contagious, but also weaker, less likely to result in hospitalization among the unvaxed. Yet another reality is that the Delta variant also infects the fully-vaccinated. Oh, what to do?

Consider not allowing yourself to be jerked around by US health officials who have trouble keeping their story straight, for instance, Dr. Anthony Fauci (a.k.a. The Science) who, records show, apparently assisted the bio-warfare division of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at the Wuhan lab in the development of a world-beating, gain-of-function bat virus — which, halfway through year-two of its run, seems to be following the usual trajectory of viral epidemics by growing weaker before it disappears altogether. And then we’ll see what happens longer-term among the vaxed, who were subjected to flurries of toxic spike proteins.

It’s the opinion of some — though not myself — that the Covid-19 episode was unleashed upon the world to allow “the elite” to execute a “controlled demolition of the global economy” so as quash climate change (by reducing carbon emissions), and therefore ensure a brighter future for said elite, while cruelly throwing the rest of the world’s population overboard. Oh, I dunno…. Klaus Schwab and his minions of The Great Reset seem more like hapless control freaks than persons actually able to control anything, least of all the whole world. Dr. Fauci’s role looks like a species of generic egomania with a top hat of greed (considering his financial interests in vaccines). The reality is that the global economy, such as it’s a high-tech industrial economy, is shooting its own wad very nicely without a whole lot of assistance from alleged nefarious parties.

Meantime, the Fourth of July is upon us and the nation is not quite half-vaxed-up, and yet we are about to celebrate the meaning of Independence Day, which is freedom from getting jerked around by tyrants. The idea! And so, you see, the USA also seems to be divided between those who take liberty and its associated values to heart, and those who seek to coerce, dominate, censor, cancel, and punish those who show signs of wishing to enjoy liberty in the pursuit of happiness.

Since the mythic figure known as “Trump” appears to represent the group that favors liberty, it has been necessary for the latter group of Woke tyrants to find some way to punish him. And so, after five years of sedulous digging and rooting through every record vaulted in the earth’s mantle, the Manhattan district attorney’s office, conducting an investigation alongside the New York attorney general, has lodged a 15-count indictment against the Trump organization and its CFO, a Mr. Allen Weisselberg, for a conspiracy to commit criminal tax fraud, falsifying business records, and omitting to pay taxes on employees “indirect compensation” (i.e., fringe benefits) amounting to $1.7-million over 15 years.

Cue Dr. Evil… with pinky finger inserted in corner of mouth. One-point-seven million!!! Over 15 years…  equals about $113,000 a year! The New York state tax upon which might be in the neighborhood of $10,000! (That is, on the fringe benefits of company cars, parking spaces, and college tuition for company employees.) Now, there is a powerful case for malfeasance! Do you know what $1.7-million will get you: I’ll tell you: the raised ranch house that my parents bought in the Long Island suburbs for about 20-K in 1954. Just sayin….

Notice that the complaint against the Trump Org was not brought by the state tax authorities. Why not? Perhaps because it is beneath the dignity of even calling it a Mickey Mouse case. Instead, this is the sum total of what Democratic Party Lawfare ferrets could dig up in five years, including two years and $33-million spent by Robert Mueller’s investigators, plus the extra exertions of the DOJ’s Southern District federal attorneys. Well, done, Lawfare warriors! It will be fun to watch the prosecution of this case, if it isn’t peremptorily laughed out court. It was especially rich to see the way The New York Times played the story in Friday’s morning edition — a giant banner headline, taken down, by the way, sometime after 9:00a.m. EDT, but we screen-capped it just prior:

Finally, in this trifecta of clanging unrealities, Democratic Party efforts to promote endless, widespread election fraud were dealt a knockdown blow Thursday in the US Supreme Court’s decision upholding a new Arizona election reform law that prohibits “ballot harvesting” and voting out of one’s own election district. The SCOTUS decision kind of moots the DOJ’s more recent hustle to undermine Georgia’s new election reform law, which includes similar prohibitions against ballot shenanigans. In short, states now can take reasonable steps to ensure fair elections — a hard concept to grasp, I’m sure, but there it is. Now let’s see how many states seek to unravel previous election shenanigans, for instance what went down on November 3 2020. Happy July Fourth everyone. Don’t hurt anyone… or yourselves!

If we are going to acknowledge that there are two Americas (and there has been for quite some time), then let’s make it official and allow there to be TWO Americas. Personally I would rather see the complete dissolution of the federal government so that boot is off EVERYONE’S neck, and allow the 50 supposedly sovereign states to be independent once again (they surely will form loose confederations). Seeing those 50 break apart even more, so those who still care about freedom (yes, even in CA), can live in peace, but 2 nations would be a great start.

That would actually be a really interesting exercise in state’s rights.

The big, dem controlled population centers on either coast might think they could just cut off the mid-west and move on without us.

Except that all of those rail, interstate highways, pipelines etc. pass through deplorable controlled lands.

Imagine the “tolls” that they might have to pay to get the very commodities that make LIFE possible.

You can see the beginnings of state independence with the various states sending police and Nat Guard to Texas to help them on the border.

Every red state should commit 4-5,000 Nat Guard troops to the Texas and Arizona borders with Mexico.

Send them all with a mandate to enforce that state’s laws. On top of the obvious benefits of stemming the ongoing invasion, it would also be a giant ‘fuck you’ to this administration.

Not to mention all of the “federal” land the BLM manages that happens to fall within the borders of states. Like all of it. All of those quite valuable natural resources like coal, timber, gas, minerals, etc.

Bill Gates might be buying up millions of acres of land but, if you have no access to-or control of-it…?

I don’t think Trump was aware he was working with the heir to Dr. Mengele.

The hell he wasn’t . He knew exactly what he was doing. That’s why Trump got the job of keeping the conservatives sitting on their thumbs and turning for 4years. Take the Trump glasses off.

Yep, that’s why the NWO selected Trump to win in 2016. The Right would not have put up with the lockdowns when they started last year if Hillary had been president. But they knew that by January of this year they could put a Democrat in the White House and the Right would still not resist, because by then they had become accustomed to the lockdowns.

A contributor and previously frequent commenter on TBP going by the moniker of Zarathustra, posted the below-linked article here in January of 2018. And, ya gotta hand it to him (or her) – the post referenced Blackrock before it became cool:

Mengele’s death count pales in comparison to the amount of people killed by Fauchi. And Fauchi has miles to go before he sleeps, his Nuremberg Code violating death count by medical experimentation has barely just begun.

And in Britain we also have a dichotomy – north and south, with the poor north being harangued and raped by the rich south, within which lies all the power of government, the Bank of England and the City of London. Nothing changes and nothing is new under the sun.

Welcome to the new normal which is ushered in by the old normal.

It is also happening up here in the Great White North. The provinces west of Ontario want out after being drained of billions of dollars in ‘equalization payments’ to the Eastern mooch provinces who control who gets elected. The result is Trudeau. Nobody in these western provinces voted for him but our population is too small to get representation. The election is over and decided before we even finish voting. WEXIT

Oh dear C.A.L. and I thought that Canada would be a good place of refuge when the Nazi UK Biosecurity state comes to town – guess I shall have to return to South Africa where nothing works and they can’t even run any kind of security state – at least freedom is by default there.

I understand your reticence but don’t believe all you hear, Ivan. Crime is mainly black on black and although some white farmers have been killed, it’s generally rare. Cities are a problem, yes, but Cape Town is fairly safe where I spent 10 happy years.

“Yet another reality is that the Delta variant also infects the fully-vaccinated.”

Well, yesterday on Fux Newz (the faggot, Brett Bair) our Dothead Surgeon General went to great lengths saying the vaxed are virtually totally protected from the Delta variant. So, get your shot ASAP if you’re not vaxed , he said. So, which is it?

In other newz, prisons are now offering extra conjugal visits and/or free cigarettes to entice Da Felons to get the Shit Shot. ‘Free fucks to get fucked’, is the rallying cry.

Trump better take these tax fraud charges seriously.

— At his trial, (((they))) accused Jesus of this —: “this man subverting our nation, forbidding us to pay the tribute tax to Caesar”

— They got to Al Capone, of all things, on tax fraud

—— As well as Leona Helmsley, Pete Rose, Lou Costello, Willie Nelson, Redd Foxx …. it’s a verrrry long list

Bottom Line: When the State accuses you of stealing from them (it’s OK if they steal from you) … you be fucked good and hard.

All theater all the time. Trump is their buddy and comrade in crime. Another distraction to keep the right focusing on what isn’t important as usual. Waited a few months to crawl out of his hole and then the mud throwing and bullshit retoric starts all over again…right on cue. Did you hear what he said about the Jan 6th schmucks?…..he thought they were Democrats and besides they looked like idiots. Yeah, and Trumps the victim…really? Just doing the victim shit out of office the same he did in office.

More than half this crap is beyond the statute of limitations plus the Trump Org claims they paid the taxes on all the benefits! If they want mass, how about the $800 million DeBlasio’s wife was in charge of that went pfffft?
This is akin to holding a national press conference to announce somebody threw a gum wrapper out the car window.

It’ll happen again in three years, and again four years later. Doesn’t matter who it is; most of those lamenting Trump now will be touting the next “lesser of two shitbags” in a couple years, and criticizing you if you don’t go along. It never ceases to amaze me

The Fed’s have made clear they only support blue states, and regard Red states as serfdoms. Won’t be long til Red States follow Ben Franklin’s advice…”not to declare themselves something they are not, but rather to acknowledge a fact which already exists” (independence from a foreign power)
