The Collapsing American Military

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Dan Goure and David T. Pyne have raised valid questions about how well the US would fare in a military conflict with Russia and China. Not well they conclude. See:

https://nationalinterest.org/feature/counter-russia-and-china-make-‘spheres-influence’-great-again-194982

Possibly the articles by Dan Goure and David T. Pyne are sincere concerns of military analysts worried about Washinton’s unrealistic hubris. Also possibly Goure and Pyne are consultants to defense firms and are lobbying for an even larger military budget. Nevertheless, both are correct that Washington is no match for Russia and China and is spread too thin in its ambitions to be a match for anyone. Nevertheless, the real military problem for the US is completely different from what they think.

COVID Vaccine Mandates Are Killing Aviation, Healthcare, Other Critical Services. Is It Intentional?

Via Children’s Health Defense

Is the sabotage of air travel, high-quality healthcare, first-responder capability and other core services an intentional step designed to further weaken Americans’ resilience and expand authoritarian controls?

The widespread hemorrhaging of experienced public- and private-sector employees — a “man-made disaster of historic proportions,” according to former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul — is hollowing out some of the most important public-facing professions in the country.

Although many factors are at play, COVID vaccine mandates are a significant contributor, with employers refusing to honor the option to refuse Emergency Use Authorization COVID vaccines that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supposedly guaranteed.

The result has been the threatened or actual mass firing and resignation of thousands of unvaccinated workers in critical sectors like healthcare, policing, firefighting, education and aviation, with skilled and experienced workers prepared to “leave if that’s what it comes to” rather than take the risky shots.

Randy Moss, Who Once Kicked A White Kid In The Head And Attacked His Baby Momma, Is Crying Over Old Emails

Via Blue State Conservative

If Jon Gruden could do it all over again, he might wish to deride Randy Moss as being another clueless p**** as well.

Now, I grew up watching Randy Moss catch footballs for a dominant Vikings offensive juggernaut, and as a younger person I didn’t really pay attention to the details. I only cared about catches, yardage, and touchdowns. I appreciate the innocence of youth, but if I could I would still go back in time and tell a younger me to not idolize selfish, arrogant, and dangerous athletes. Why do we worship these people as demigods when their only purpose is to play a game? They also care not a whit about us.

Retirement Security Month Missing Its Most Important Ingredient

Via Birch Gold

The Year Ahead: U.S. Faces Uncertain Economic Future

When you think about the idea of a secure retirement, one key ingredient would be security. If that’s missing, all you’re left with is a retirement full of anxiety.

And it doesn’t matter which politicians take office, both sides of the aisle often meddle with Social Security and other retirement safety nets, but neither seem to produce tangible results that actually make retirement more secure. (At least, not very often).

THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Loma Prieta earthquake strikes near San Francisco – 1989

Via History.com

An earthquake hits the San Francisco Bay Area on October 17, 1989, killing 67 people and causing more than $5 billion in damages. Though this was one of the most powerful and destructive earthquakes ever to hit a populated area of the United States, the death toll could have been much worse.

Do You Hear the People Sing, Singing the Song of Angry Men?

Via Gen Z Conservative

I was, as the Covid lockdowns, tyrannies, and indignities progressed with nary a peep from the once proudly free populaces of the great states of the West, growing despondent.

How could free men, men whose cultural traditions are grounded in revolution, independence, and individualism, go along with such horrendous tyrannies without raising their voices, much less leveling a musket at the Redcoats? Did they not care that an authoritarian regime is treading on them?

But, now it’s over. Now the revolt against the Covid tyrants has finally begun.

Here’s Why the New War on Meat Consumption Could Lead to Food Shortages…

Food Shortages

“Coercion is no longer taboo.”

Has there ever been a time in history where those who have been coercing have been on the right side of history?

“The Ministries of Finance and Agriculture have advanced plans to buy out hundreds of farmers and, if necessary, expropriate them, in order to quickly reduce nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands. This Is apparent from documents that have been viewed by NRC. The cost of this operation could amount to 17 billion euros. The plans point to a rigorously different approach, in which coercion is no longer taboo.”

I’d actually be shocked if we don’t magically experience an “outbreak of mad cow disease” or some such thing after which we’ll find men with stern faces and women with deep scowls telling us how dangerous the consumption of meat is — because — well, the disease, of course.

Backed-Up Cargo Ships Positioned To Spell Out ‘Let’s Go Brandon’

PACIFIC OCEAN—With a tremendous backlog at Long Beach and dozens of cargo ships helplessly stranded in the ocean waiting to be unloaded, the bored crews have arranged their ships to form the words of the patriotic cheer taking the world by storm: “Let’s Go Brandon.”

What $5 (or More) Gas Will Mean

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Have you given any thought to what it will mean to you when gas costs $5 per gallon – which is likely, given how much gas costs already?

The average cost of gas is already over $3.20 per gallon, a halting increase of $1.20 per gallon over the course of less than 10 months. Try to imagine what it will cost ten months from now.

It may cost more than you can imagine. More than you can afford.

After September’s Dismal BLS Report, Looking Ahead

Guest Post by Joe Guzzardi

For the second consecutive month, Wall Street analysts and media business forecasters badly missed the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s job creation total. Dow Jones projected 500,000 new jobs for September, a greater than 300,000 misfire after the true BLS number came in at 194,000. Television commentators were aghast at their second straight BLS whiff. August’s expected jobs creation total was predicted to be 720,000, which turned out to be a more inaccurate forecast than September’s when the so-called experts were off the mark by 485,000 jobs. In August, the economy created a mere 235,000 jobs.

Harvard Research Confirms What We’ve Been Saying for Months

There is not evidentiary correlation between cases and vaccination rates

I have no idea how this paper made it past the censors but there it is! This was published a month ago but didn’t receive much fanfare and now we know why—it confirms what we’ve been saying for months now: the vaccines have not stopped and likely will not stop the pandemic.

Back in July we tweeted that the CDC data mapping vax rates to COVID-19 case rates shows ZERO impact of the former on the latter:
