Against the Tide

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“These days, when they say something is ‘very unlikely,’ that is wokecabulary for, ‘it’s almost certainly true’.”Jeff Childers (the Coffee with Covid blog)

Fighting fake news in the classroom

So many calamities, quandaries, and mysteries swirl in the zeitgeist these days that life in the USA feels like swimming against a rising tide of poisoned guacamole. Nothing has been able to stop that green spewage from the political Left, especially as it desecrates our very language to turn everything up, down, and everything inside, outside. You end up drowning the consensus about reality under the muck. Now, there are political forces opposing all this deliberate malice and deceit and they will need something like a fire-hose to clean the joint up.

The outstanding feature of this political illness is the utter lack of accountability for gross insults against the public interest — that is, things that really matter. As Congresswoman Ilhan Omar once put it so obliquely, “some people did some things.” Yes, people are at the bottom of all this mischief against the country and none of them have had to answer for any of it yet. Will it matter if they do? It may not correct all the disasters of recent past years, but it may prevent more disasters ahead as the nation struggles with epic changes to the business model for running everything in this land. Some people will have to do a lot of things to straighten out our agenda.

Everyone is aware by now that the new Congress is assembling several committees to attempt just that. One is the panel on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. That’s an excellent name for it because the officials running the engines of state have carried out a war against the people. It is, after all, supposed to be a government of, by, and for the people, not a government against the people. Where to even start?

Former US attorney and chief-of-staff to the SecDef, Kash Patel, had a good idea: start with the latest insult to the country. Haul in the newly-appointed special counsel assigned to the “Joe Biden” purloined document scandal. His name is Robert Hur. He was a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the height of RussiaGate, and liaison to the Robert Mueller operation. Mr. Hur participated in filing falsified warrants based on Steele Dossier nonsense to the FISA court. He should have been accountable for that. He’s not fit to serve as any sort of legal arbiter in a national scandal. He was not appointed to shed any light on the issue, but to bury it under a load of procedural horse-shit, in particular, the dodge that questions about “ongoing investigations” can’t be answered. Let’s disarm that weapon from the get-go. And why not appoint Mr. Patel chief counsel to the Weaponization of Government Committee?

Another person who must answer right away is CDC Director Rochelle Walensky because her agency is still aggressively pushing mRNA shots strongly implicated in causing injury and death among the American people. There are no more obvious weapons against the people than these deadly products retailed by Pfizer and Moderna. The government’s “vaccination” crusade has to stop ASAP. Not one more dose of the stuff should be given to anybody. An audit needs to be run on the CDC’s data base to determine exactly how it was manipulated to hide the facts about “vaccine” injuries and deaths.

The public should also hear why Ms. Walensky’s CDC promoted “incentive payments” to hospitals for each patient who died testing positive for Covid-19 (not necessarily from Covid-19). The payments per patient ranged wildly, state by state from $18,000 (NJ) to $471,000 (WVa). Why was that? The payments amounted to a bonanza for hospital administrators, who were incentivized to let people die on ventilators.

The Weaponization of Government Committee might also subpoena FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf and his two predecessors during the Covid-19 event, Janet Woodcock and Stephen Hahn. The country needs to hear what they knew about the operation that produced the “vaccines” with such astonishing speed — as if these products were somehow in development before Covid-19 even appeared on the scene. They also need to answer about the shenanigans behind the following: the fudged and expedited “vaccine” trials; the demonization and virtual outlawing of existing safe and effective FDA-approved drugs for early treatment, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and other meds; the promotion of toxic remdesivir as a primary therapy for C-19; and the initiation and extension (for three years) of an emergency use authorization that shielded the drug companies from liability while injuries and deaths mounted.

Obviously, there are many other channels of inquiry waiting to be explored in the government’s war against the people, especially the lingering questions about election interference and the official censorship of news. The excellent writer who goes by Sundance at The Last Refuge website made some capital suggestions for going forward with these inquiries: one is to rely primarily on witness testimony rather than on documents that federal officials will surely do everything possible to hide. Don’t turn this into a futile battle over the docs. Let’s just hear what the people-in-charge have to say. Secondly — and this may be hard for many angry, injured people to swallow — immunize witnesses against prosecution, to give them no incentive to hide what they know, what actions they carried out, and who told them to do it. Give them this immunity, Sundance wrote, in the interest of maximum transparency — because punishment of these characters is less important than showing the people of this country how far off the rails we have gone. It may not be optimally satisfying, but it’s an argument worth pondering.

Mark,

I would be more concerned by the ocean dumps filled with millions of barrels of toxic waste, chemical weapons, high explosives etc, dumped liberally off the coast of every continent.
Once a government figures out how to detonate these ticking time bombs and perhaps toxify and poison say, the ‘west coast of north America’ I would say that poses a greater ‘clear and present danger’ than ‘chemtrails’.

There are many maps of ocean dumping areas.
Allegedly, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig was located right within a large ocean dumping area, used for high explosive shells and chemical weapons from the 1910s until such dumping was officially banned in the 70s.
(My guess, is dumping continues to today.)

It may actually be, that the “disaster” of the rig was really caused by incidental detonation of discarded explosives by the Deepwater drilling crew unaware that any such danger existed.

Couldabee.

I don’t think so in this case, they uncorked a potential volcano and they replugged it just in time; but it will probably blow up another day now. But yes they will destroy the oceans someday and probably the land too at the present rate.

Question: What ever happened with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine?
The one that only needed one dose and was the one ( I think) that had actual virus in it, the old fashioned type of vaccine. Never hear anything about it, injuries, symptoms, current availability, it just kind of went away.

Whatever happened to the need for maintaining the Pfizer jab at some ridiculously low temperature? I forget exactly what temp it was supposed to be stored and transported at, something like 70 below zero F. That turned out to be too much of an inconvenience, so they just stopped doing it without saying anything and nobody asked any questions.

Neil Oliver mentioned in a recent YT video too, that Astra Zeneca’s product has disappeared over in GB, with no mention of the Why.
It’s also current, in that he mentions the British MP who compared the jab push and devasting results to the holocaust, which promptly got him ostracized by the left in Parliament, but lauded by the public, and defended by an Israeli Dr. that his comment was not anti semitic, like his enemies have claimed.

“In February 2022, Johnson & Johnson announced it has temporarily suspended production of the vaccine though they also noted that it will likely resume at some point in the future and that it will honor all pre-existing contracts that oblige Janssen to supply its vaccine by using the millions of already existing vaccine doses in its inventory where requested.[43]”

My son is an Army Major Reservist and a Bank Computer Security Officer, a body builder, and a certified Doodoo Bird. He said the Army would kick him out if he would not take the Shot. I wrote him a letter explaining why not to take it and why he should resign rather that take it. One reason is this crime will eventually be exposed and he would be justified just like the Vietnam War Resistors. He doesn’t read well obviously because he took the J&J explaining it had the lowest reported injuries. I looked at the J&J as best I could and it had mRNA so he is a dead man walking. He then had chest pains and had to go to the ER. Now he won’t talk to me. Folks, don’t be a fool like him , watch the Youtube video: “Everything is a rich mans trick”, for God’s sake.

I can barely stand to say this, but we live in such extreme times, and are living right against the razor’s edge, where even us purebloods will be forcibly vaxecuted, via foods stealthily infused with the vax:

This lovely young lady was in training to serve (unwittingly) as a foot soldier to big pHARMa. She was going to help kill herself and others and maim society for mercenary pay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forcibly vaxecution ordered in Germany:

Politicians and legal experts, including the ‘Alternative for Germany’ (AfD) party’s Martin Sich, have decried the court order against the composer as a violation of Germany’s Basic Law.

While a court order had authorized the forcible removal of Zhvanetskaya from her home in Stuttgart on Wednesday in order to institutionalize her “for her own good,” she was reportedly rescued ahead of their visit by “friendly activists.” In a video recorded from her hiding place, the composer told Report24 that “music is my life, and if they take away music from me then they take my life.”

Zhvanetskaya’s lawyer has filed an appeal and on Thursday convinced the District Court of Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt to suspend the compulsory vaccination part of the order until it is resolved. However, he cautioned she could still be institutionalized at any time.

Issued last month, the order authorizes Zhvanetskaya’s guardian and medical support staff to force their way into her home, calling on police if needed, then lock her up in a psychiatric institution until December 2024 at the latest so that she can be administered two shots of the Covid-19 vaccine she has repeatedly insisted she does not want.

The non-consensual treatment is said to be justified by the composer’s alleged mental and physical illnesses, which the order claims include narcissism, egomania, logorrhea, dementia, obesity, heart disease, and an obsession with music. “She is completely caught up in her compositions and so busy with music that it is impossible to have a meaningful conversation with her,” the document states.

For a little peace in any season
I’d give up anything but your love
I don’t want to trade, trying to be happy
That’s only playing anyway
But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder
For every good thing, must you get bad
But I won’t worry, and if I’m living on borrowed time
I’m gonna keep on the way I’m going
Keep on the way I’m going
For every crime, there’s retribution
And every valley has a mountainside
No, I don’t like to trade just to be happy
That kind of deal won’t turn out right
See it is no good to stare inside yourself too long
For every true thing there’s one more lie
But I won’t worry cause if I’m living on borrowed time
I’ll just try to keep on the way I’m going
Keep on the way I’m going
See it is no good to stare inside yourself too long

Twitter is the frigging Wild West right now. Many people are bellyaching about how their psyches are coming unglued from everything happening all at once. There are millions of leftist asswipes over there, but they all speak in exactly the same voice and say exactly the same things, over and over…

…so, even combatting ten or twenty of them simultaneously is no big deal.

One gigantic SHITFEST; all day, every day.

But one thing is absolutely clear:

The insane woke/left assclown worlders have taken their very last piece of free ground. They aren’t being given an inch, in any direction, on any topic. Very refreshing to see.

If these chaotic ass-grabbers want to take anything else from everyone or seize one more inch of real estate…

…first they are going to have to win a war.

One notable attribute that JK sometimes uses within his articles of hopium for accountability is, he finds and names people in the shadows, lesser-knowns who are also complicit in the corruption and mayhem that was sown, and still continues, in some dark corners.
Mentioning Hur, Woodcock, and Hahn with their roles past, present, and future is, diligence in that he shines light upon those who need to be exposed, examined, and judged, as worthy of consideration for past actions, and in Hur’s case, whether he can (not) be trusted as a fair and truthful person to scrutinize the Biden document trail.
On the flip side, Kuntsler gives a nod to Sundance, who, faults aside, is on the same team as those calling out the myriad of travesties being heaped upon the populace.
Just a couple of the reasons I like reading what JK and Sundance have to say.
I’m usually in the same camp, as I suspect many here are, as well.
Admin, of course, is another beacon of light trying to convey that there really should be more outrage expressed, instead of accepting that nothing can, or will be said or done, thereby dashing hope and courting cynicism.

White Rhino. Those are “unicorn” swells that produce “big waves.” Enormous waves.

In 2012 such a swell hit Fiji, while a surfing competition was going on. The competition was not “that” kind of surfing, so those competitors were called in, “that” competition was shut down, & the big wave surfers went out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqtL9WQHuuE

Against the tide.

Against the wind ♪♫♪.

Against the clock.

Against whatever any & all metaphors-analogies-similes.

Just … against.

Percentagewise, how many againSts out there? Four percent, max.

What are those saints *for*? Stopping, or diverting, or otherwise controlling the tides-winds-metaphor-analogy-simile?

Is that what surfers, & especially big wave surfers, do, are about?

Forget about all the ocean waxed poetic/spiritual by the sex wax set. No matter how much that whole felt sense is sensed, that part of the explanation is always more for the windy tidal surrounds that don’t surf (“Charlie don’t surf!”) & will never be *against* anything that goes with the tidal flow.

The saints aint about flow control.

The saints are about the ride.

The speed. The test. The focus. The work. The balance. The gonnnnnnnnnne’tlet. The fun, pleasure, thrill, joy of communing with the oneness’oblige of the one separate & distinct & apart who is riding it … the rest of it.

The saints are about the flow – not the tide.

The way out (of that barrel) is thru.

The guru’d were guru’able first. “Then” the guru showed up. “The” guru was always fait accompli. Or, just as likely, nay, more likely, the series of gurus. Focusing animus on gurus entirely misses the target – same as shooting the messenger does – by trying to hit the pupil in his apple-of-his-eye-pupil.

Center massman, man.

(Like the Jordan Peterson target practice, the other day.)

But … if “leaders” are merely followers nearer the front of the mass (yes, they are), then followers are leaders, too.

Followers are the leading v/indicator of tsunami.

(Soo-ey! Here Piggy-Piggy! Come get yer conch! Pigs with conchs is more equal than conchless pigs is!)

Despite all the shibbolethargy chaff clouds surrounding “free will” where, ultimately & always, does responsibility lie (even when it’s not being lied about)?

How it turns out answers that question, says the tide.

How it turns out has nothing to do with it, knows the againSts.

Hydraulic neath those waves turns in place as it moves in that place.

Back in the days of motocross & muscle cars, speed was essential.

Before that, during that, after that, too: fast hands, light feet.

In fact, pretty obviously, the need for speed preceded the speed.

Speedyvolved.

No, that’s a joke. Speed was dreaming, woke up, & fulfilled the need.

So the motor neurons were being souped up from early on.

So much so that some, maybe most, of the mirror neurons were pressed into speed’s Gonzales/ervice, too. “Hey mirrors, keep an eye on my six.”

So those mirror neurons that normally have your head bobbling in synchronized time with the rest of the room aren’t exerting that autonomic-anomie enemy-mine influence.

And absent that compulsion the normie world of bobbling along looks exactly like the Borg murmuration that it is.

Cubic inches/peed-your-pants/peed.

A Cuborg is what the crusher turns the junker into … then maybe that scrap sails a slow boat to China … paint dries faster than cuborgs move.

(But … what about “slow is fast”? Meaning one. And what about when fast goes slow-motion? Meaning two.)

(And what about “slowly at first & then all at once”? Is “bankruptcy” like “epiphany” then? “How did you go/for broke? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”)

Happy nuclear situations ~ “high trust culture” imprinting ~ don’t account for all the not at all uncommon Fukushima nuclear meltdown situations: Confirmation bias cooks the books with hurraydiation.

Or, at most, the mis/calculus is devil take that hindmost (“it didn’t happen to me & it won’t happen to mine” goes the passing the graveyard whistle-tune), because the cooked-books net is still better under nuclear energy than oh, say, “free” energy (decentralized down to individuals) a la Tesla or whomever (not Muskrat) … even if those are just fairy tales – which they may/may not be (that TPTB would squelch something like that, one way or another, isn’t a fairy tale).

Way out is thru. As usual. Not back. Exit from conch s/hell is at the center, not the periphery … because that’s counterintuitive, & will fool the most.

And that s/hell-boundedness ain’t going nowhere. Motor neuron swappin’ ain’t an option.

That tissue can only wait for the steaming, scooping & drawn butter dunking & drenching.

That is to say nobody near the top. Only an underling or 2 (after 4 years of pre-trial motions) and the underlings will be eventually rewarded by a pardon and then a job somewhere in the revolving door of government & the money interests that bend government to it's will.
