The great American journalist H.L. Menken once said, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Yes. All of history will be erased and rewritten.

Erasing history by declaring it useless or worse, is actually a key feature of Marxism.

History is too broad a term for what they want to erase. History is just lies agreed upon. But our local histories and figures, including that of our ancestors, survives regardless of what they do with the books and statues, so long as we don’t lose faith in our own people.

Interesting conundrum:
What term would I need to use, to make it clear I am talking about the real history, not the one written in history books?

That is an interesting one. Because there are plenty of truthful books, they just aren’t the ones that survive into the next empires. There was a book by an explorer in the vein of Lewis and Clark (forget the name) around the same time period. He wrote a beautiful hand penned journal. I asked the museum if there were copies available for purchase (transcribed). No. But there is a book about it with limited print and for $100.

White House Signals New COVID-19 Measures Coming for People Who Are Unvaccinated
BY JACK PHILLIPS September 8, 2021

Ahead of President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday about new COVID-19 measures, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that there may be new measures that will be imposed on unvaccinated people.

“There are six steps the president’s announcing, there will be new components,” Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “Some of that will be related to access to testing, some will be related to mandates, some will be related to how we ensure kids will be protected in schools.”

When asked about how the new steps would impact Americans’ lives, Psaki said that “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”

Psaki provided few details on what mandates could be imposed on unvaccinated Americans. On Tuesday, she told reporters on Air Force One that the federal government lacks the authority to mandate vaccines for everyone.

“There will be new components that sure, will of course impact people across the country, but we’re also all working together to get the virus under control, to return to our normal lives,” Psaki also said, without elaborating, on Wednesday.

Biden, who was scheduled to meet with his COVID-19 advisers on Wednesday, delivered a speech about six months ago saying the United States has “made real progress” against the virus.

Since that date, about 142 million Americans have received COVID-19 vaccines and about 950,000 people are getting vaccinated each day, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Data released daily by the CDC’s COVID-19 tracker suggests that the United States’ new cases and deaths may have hit a plateau or is on the decline. The seven day-average for cases as of Tuesday was 140,000 and deaths were 1,022, respectively, while as of Sept. 1, the seven-day average for cases was 156,000 and deaths were 1,141, respectively.

The president’s speech on Thursday could make reference to a recent announcement from the heads of several federal health agencies that third doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, or booster shots, would be provided around Sept. 20. However, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve the booster doses.

Already, Biden required all federal employees and contractors to get the COVID-19 vaccine or adhere to strict testing and social distancing protocols. He also ordered nursing homes to require their staff to get the vaccine to continue getting Medicare and Medicaid funding.

One of Biden’s top confidants, White House chief of staff Ron Klain, during a CNN interview over the weekend, was reluctant to provide a specific date when the boosters would be made available to the public.

Now is a good time to pick up stainless steel tables, bowls, ice machines and so forth.
I saw a guy here in NC that had a whole mobile poultry processing unit on a trailer. Went around to other people’s farms or just local groups that got together to kill some chickens.

Don’t know how it works but poultry feathers are a high nitrogen, organic fertilizer source.
Good fortune on your business.

Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. The Progressives are using it as a blueprint.

This should be the Coup governments motto. Derived from Outer Limits. ‘There is nothing wrong with your mind. Do not attempt to adjust your perception. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal, we control the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand distractions or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next lifetime we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to pure communism!’

Greenwald is right about that. The CONgress has delegated the majority of its power to the executive branch. That was not legal for them to do. It is a big lie and myth that the Constitution has “separate but co-equal branches”. That is bullshit, because by far the most powerful branch is the legislative (or it is supposed to be). As things are, the Executive branch can’t even realistically be managed by a single President.

Trump’s complete failure of a Presidency led me to try to walk myself through a Presidential work week. It would be amazing if they even have time to be half as informed as your average TBP reader. They don’t have time to do shit except smile for the camera and make some semi-informed decisions delegated to people they will never meet with consequences they will never see.

It is not just the Presidents who have been a bad joke, the office itself is a bad joke.
