April 8, 2022 at 10:37 am #105681Veracious PoetParticipantA federal appeals court has upheld President Joe Biden’s requirement that all federal employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.
In a 2-1 ruling Thursday, a panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans reversed a lower court and ordered dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the mandate.

A 9-year-old boy is being denied a life-saving kidney transplant because his father is not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Dane Donaldson was found to be a perfect match for his son Tanner back in early 2018 by the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital before the outbreak of the pandemic.
The family decided to wait a little longer before having Tanner undergo the transplant since transplanted kidneys from a live donor only lasted about 20 years.
Then COVID-19 hit and put a freeze on the procedure.
April 8, 2022 at 10:50 am #105682Dr. DParticipant“Turkey Moves Khashoggi Murder Trial to Saudi Arabia, Effectively Ending It”
We were following this for a while. I’m not a fan, but this was a murder on Saudi sovereign territory, with Saudi citizens. If nations are going to claim jurisdiction over other nations’ embassies, there won’t be any.
Leverage: to behave idiotically. He’s now cashed in the leverage, and for optics “moves” the trial, not canceling it. Or as some say: Dumb and Dumber.
Speaking of bad allies, Greece has pretty firmly sided with arming Ukraine, despite the long friendship of neighbors Greece and Russia. As Germany, WHY do they do this? The West mistreats, extracts, destroy(ed) Greece as subhuman, just as they are the Ukrainian people. Can’t you at least play the powers off each other or something?
Speaking of Greece, Ze just went there with his Nazis and spoke to Greek parliament, with their badges on. Classy. Real power move. So let me get this straight: we’re against far-right Golden Dawn, who are pro-Greece, but FOR the SS-approved Azov Nazis who helped genocide Greeks along with Jews? And we’re doing this right now, today, to piss off Russia, a neighbor who has food? While we in Greece do NOT buy food and medical supplies for the Greek people, but NATO submarines? I’ve got this right?
“For many years Russia tried to ‘plant’ into Greek minds the myth that “Azov” Regiment”
You know, because the Azov regiment exists, the Azov leaders were promoted to national police chief, they have Nazi holidays, salutes, and slogans, and Azov party said they’re running the real country and they’d stuff Ze in a blender if they crossed him. Yeah, sounds like the Russians are crazy.
“this energy was to make a quantum leap with Nord Stream 2.”
Essentially, this was the whole reason for the war. MacKinder again. Who’s killed more people than cancer. Instead, Germany will cease to exist? Is that their plan?
“Sit Back and Watch Europe Commit Suicide (Escobar)”
“willfully collapsing their national economies, allowing the US to scoop everything up.”Yes, aside from selling Germany too little gas to be useful, we’re doing it at 3x prices to be a “friend”. Wall St closed trading on Russia, then buy it all up in the dark backchannels. That is to say, THEY bought the Ruble at the bottom, but made it illegal for ME to buy the Ruble at the bottom. Quick examples of how Escobar is true and Europe will cease to exist, having chosen being an African colony of the ‘States. Sad. I can’t believe I’m looking at it. And also the American people won’t see a dime.
The answer of course, is to kill more Europeans. “Lower final demand.” They would not be demanding goods then, and Russia would not have leverage. It’s perfectly logical. We need the next pandemic to start immediately or at least by the next heating season. No humans = no hyperinflation. Simple.
“farmers in Africa not able to afford fertilizer at all this year, reducing agricultural production by an amount capable of feeding 100 million people.”
Is anyone building a fertilizer plant? Huh, funny. Why not? Because we’re all victims who blame others and would like to die doing that? Or because they like what’s happening? If they don’t like it, why can’t they act on it?
“The more weapons we get & the sooner they arrive in Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved”
Well THAT’S a lie. Like everything Ukraine says. Unless you mean – and I suspect they do – that Russians are not “human”. Or are really, really bad at weapons.
“Russia needs to flush the EU down her “mental toilet” and only deal with sovereign countries”
I could have told them this a long time ago. I’m sure they mostly knew it. They’re just in denial anyone could be so stupid, and really need a two-front economy. …Without a war zone on one side. Oh well.
“just that now he is even MORE Hitler than before) and Russia some kind of broken, poor, and otherwise horrible Mordor.”
It must be worse when you’re Russian saying this. Russia is a dark, small, hard country. To use tactics like this is like picking out South Dakota as Hitler-Mordor and keeping it up for 40 years while everyone just believes it and that it’s not racism and hate, but love and honesty. Really the contrast of reality when you’ve been there and know it is like the contrast of Earth and Mars, yet people eat it up. They love hate more than life itself, clearly.
“the Empire of Hate and Lies has now declared total war on Russia,”
Sadly yes, and that’s why it’s sad the people love and support it so much. Facebook has indeed followed through on approving Russian genocide. Luckily Russia has not declared total war on us although we deserve it. The lights can stay on a little longer.
“Ukraine War Frenzy Proves: It’s Still John McCain’s GOP (Tracey)”
Meh, hard to tell. Looked like the party was 1/3 RINO remaining, but on Russia looks like 2/3 RINO, which is moving backward sharply. However, this is the representatives who universally refuse to do whatever the people ask, although granted they are directly up against both the CIA and MIC if they oppose. I don’t have a good sense on the ground. I think the propaganda is working, however that’s not motivating people to act and get involved, that is, to support the war in more than name.
“US Says China Would Face Sanctions Similar to Russia for Invading Taiwan”
Hahahahahaha! Man, that is so tempting to do it just to watch. “Okay America: No shoes for you! No antibiotics! No cell phones, batteries, or car parts! No WalMart, no Dollar Store. And we’re going to keep these sanctions on our people in Kentucky until China…um…uses all those products themselves, along with the food and cheap oil.” Don’t worry: when the U.S. government is the enemy of normal people in India, China, Russia, South America, and the U.S., no one will seek to remove everyone in D.C. and make trouble or anything. You know: to get livesaving antibiotics America will have cut off.
“State Department Memo in Early 2020 Assessed that Lab leak Was Most Likely Origin of COVID-19”
Everybody knows; why are we still talking about it with no one arrested? You know: illegally funded specifically in defiance of Congress, covering it up, destroying evidence, perjury.
““today all the gold in the world is worth $12 trillion, while global equities are worth $115 trillion. In 1980, the ratio was one-to-one..”
That will happen, but it’s only a 10-bagger. Crypto will be 100x. Sorry, that’s just how it goes this time.
“If bitcoin is going to replace gold, the question is, why is it so undervalued?” –Theil
As if he doesn’t know. Because using the same method they use for gold, they are rigging the exchange markets, because for some unfathomable reason people want to focus on and transmit through exchanges instead of peer-to-peer. If you don’t want P2P, why did you invest in Bitcoin? There’s no helping some people. Throw people a life buoy, they put their martini on it and drown.
Although this price rigging can still be overrun right now, every minute passes they get stronger in it and the people forget. It’s not honest so long as Wall St exchanges are in it. I mean, obviously.
Apologize for Hunter in the Army. I was going to look it up, but then was like “why bother? it’s the catch-all for the service.” No: we are specific because words have meanings and should try to be accurate. Don’t know what to say about your story but why do soldiers ever sign up? You can read bad stories like that, and the miserable treatment of veterans back to Gen. Washington pleading the Continental, but at least to Patton and Eisenhower gassing the wives of the Veterans’ Protest in the 30s. They clean up their act and maybe I can get behind them. Until then, you’ve got a tough sell. Politicians always act this way, maybe that’s the first battle to take up before serving country by signing. Not criticizing, but it’s odd young men into war don’t read more about it in Seneca and Cicero and Clausewitz or something when it’s their love and interest. I was like that too as all young men are, but I did read them.
It certainly been getting a lot worse. And at an increasing pace, as you know.

On Tuesday 23rd of November 2021, Dr Noack released a video blowing the whistle on his findings regarding the COVID-19 vaccines containing graphene (hydr)oxide and describing them as a highly intelligent poison responsible for so many heart attacks and strokes. “The epithelial cells in the lining of blood vessels are extremely smooth for a good reason but becomes rough when cut up like this and things stick to it. If microscopic razor blades are being injected, then it is clear how and why all of these cardiovascular diseases have skyrocketed as of late.”“People are bleeding to death on the inside, especially top athletes who are dropping dead have fast flowing blood. That’s why top athletes with high blood circulation, completely healthy, suddenly drop dead.”
-Dr Noack
Put simply, it cuts the blood vessels and the faster the blood flows, the more damage these experimental vaccines will do.
”April 8, 2022 at 12:38 pm #105685Mister RobotoParticipantApril 8, 2022 at 12:50 pm #105686a kullervoParticipantA simple rule:
– If living alone is hard, people who live together must do what they can to help each other.A rule so simple, so basic, that it has been forgotten.
Of course, this is a rule which can only by applied to small groups: in small groups, the individual is the main component, and the individual can compromise without being annihilated; in large groups (e.g., nations), the main component is the subgroup, and a subgroup cannot compromise without risking annihilation.
Thus, a question arises: how can a large group be kept in a functional status?
– By dramatically curtailing the subgroups number; and/or
– by forcingly diluting the core traits of all subgroups.How to achieve this?
– Organized (state) religion is the least violent way to do it.(Some nations have tried to replace organized religion with organized sports; naturally, it failed: not only organized sports cannot dilute subgroups, but it multiplies them and reinforces their core traits.)
Anyhow, if mankind’s top priority is to overextend human presence on the planet, three requisites are to be met (the first two human dependent, the last human independent):
– Eugenics;
– World population strict control;
– The Eternal’s will.Are you willing to bet against the third?

April 8, 2022 at 2:11 pm #105689anticlimacticParticipantRussia has been an extremely reliable supplier of energy. There were no interruptions throughout the Cold War. The only interruption was gas when the Ukrainians started stealing it.
Even now, despite the freezing of hundreds of billions of Russian financial assets, infinite sanctions, plus supplying weapons to kill Russians, Russia is still prepared to continue energy supplies. However Europe is furious that Russia actually wants payment for it!
Europe is moving towards dependency on the US but it is obvious the US will use this for blackmail whenever it suits them. Europe will be at the mercy of a merciless country.
This is just another step on the self-destruction of Europe.

Which didn’t answer my question at all. So Otis B Driftwood feels he has the right to force everyone else to live by his whims. Which points to you saying no longer the land of the free.

April 8, 2022 at 3:07 pm #105696zerosumParticipantThe transport hub has been key for the evacuation of civilians fleeing fighting in the Donbas region, where Russia has of late concentrated most of its military operations, also as UK military intelligence on Friday said that its observed that Russian forces have now “fully withdrawn” in the north, going back to Belarus and Russian soil.
“Russia hit the railway station in Kramatorsk today,” Ukrainian police said in a statement. “The rocket hit the temporary waiting room, where hundreds of people were waiting for the evacuation train.” Local authorities say they’ve counted about 30 among the dead.
“We emphasize that the Tochka-U tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the Kramatorsk railway station and published by eyewitnesses, are used only by the Ukrainian armed forces.”
So it appears Moscow is alleging another false flag, similar to the recent back-and-forth between Russia and the West surrounding the events at Bucha.April 8, 2022 at 3:17 pm #105697zerosumParticipantAfter 2 years …

MI6 has also made public a ‘new’ policy to adopt racial and gender diversity..:
MI6’s call for increased racial and gender diversity comes at a time when major organisations in both the public and private sectors are putting forth similar initiatives. Global brands like Google, Intel and Microsoft are posting internal diversity numbers and setting aggressive recruitment and internal mobility benchmarks.
Note the new policy is put forward as countering previous class-bound and education-certified (posh Oxbridge, etc.) and ‘elitist’ mind-sets:
Moreover, Younger emphasised the value of intellectual and cultural diversity in approaching the litany of complex challenges the agency faces. “We have suffered from groupthink in the past. We have to get the maximum [number of] differentiated points of view in the room and for people to have the confidence to say what they think. Even if it’s not the popular thing to say, even with people like me.”
https://launchpadrecruits.com/insight-articles/mi6-bolster-internal-diversity
Laughable, has nothing to do with real life, MI6’s mission, and who it might or might not hire.
An attempt to ‘brand oneself’ as joining (or at least accepting for the mo) one mantra of the New World Order, and making moves to bow down to it, why do they need to do that in that specific way?
Part of why orgs. + corps. accept it = not too difficult or costly to do, it means paying a few ppl in subservient roles to manage this or that, they are easily manipulated and have to stay on script (new hires, specific roles, etc.), the ppl behind the scenes pull the strings…

THE CIA’S MOP-UP MAN: L.A. TIMES REPORTER CLEARED STORIES WITH AGENCY BEFORE PUBLICATION
https://theintercept.com/2014/09/04/former-l-times-reporter-cleared-stories-cia-publication/April 8, 2022 at 4:34 pm #105700phoenixvoiceParticipantI enjoyed being a part of my liberal church’s choir for nearly 5 years. I could have myself removed from the choir email list, but there is value in being exposed to alternative viewpoints — even if I believe that those who hold those viewpoints have gone completely mad. (They probably also believe that my viewpoints are indicative of madness — go figure.)
Apparently, my former choir has created a “choir covenant” — here are the details (email from the choir director. Emphasis is mine):
There were 15 singers at choir rehearsal last night, plus me and [pianist]. The conversation about covid was wonderful- personal and respectful and productive. I felt very good about it, and I appreciate all of those who took part. We also did a quick A/B comparison of singing inside masked and outside unmasked. Eventually, we agreed on the following things, all of which apply equally to singers, director, and accompanist:– the choir will rehearse in the sanctuary, masked. During our rehearsal break, if we share food, it’ll be on the patio.
– choir members will stay up to date on covid vaccination and boosters
– if we have symptoms, or if we know that we’ve been recently exposed to someone who was sick, we agree to not come, and to test for covid if possible
– tbd on how much we distance in the choir area itself
– we ask the congregation that the choir be included in the total count of service attendees, if [the congregation] is limiting attendees
– we will let the congregation know publicly about this covenant, both to help them feel safer, and to help them understand why we’re singing and they’re not being invited to singWe were undecided about whether to sing in services in person, or participate in another way (i.e. recording videos of ourselves in rehearsal that could be used in service, or singing in [a neighboring] Room on Sunday mornings on camera and on mic and having that showing on the projector in the sanctuary. Because we were undecided, we agreed to return to this question next week. I will also talk with Rev. Xxxxx about it during this week.
Again, I really appreciate everyone who took part in making this agreement. I’m very happy with it. If you want to be part of the [the congregation] choir but will not be participating because of this agreement, please let me know, so that I can reach out to you when it changes, or when I get the sense that it might be time to revisit it.
To my mind, this congregation has abandoned its seven (eight, now,) liberal principles, and instead has become a Covidian Cult that is obsessed with the safety of the congregants. Its talismans and rituals are not based upon individual experience of the congregants, nor upon empirical evidence, but rather they are faith-based upon the dictates of revered authorities. They wrap their faces in plastic fiber masks, they inject themselves with mRNA Trojan horses, they eat food together outdoors (when it is 90 degrees outside,) they have deep conversations about how socially distanced one must be in the choir seats (nevermind that this compromises the quality of the music that they are purportedly gathering to create,) and know in their heart of hearts that they are “more equal” than the rest of the congregants and therefore are permitted the nirvana of singing together while the rest of the congregation is banned this activity.
groupthink

The act or practice of reasoning or decision-making by a group, especially when characterized by uncritical acceptance or conformity to prevailing points of view.A truly stunning example of groupthink. I will likely ponder this for years.

As to Otis’ response “1 million + people in the US have died from this disease.” Ask for a link to that stat. Even the CDC says people died WITH, not from covid, and that the vast majority of those who died had multiple comobidities.

April 8, 2022 at 5:12 pm #105708upstateNYerParticipant@phoenix: I’m sorry about your church. My spirituality has re-emerged quite a bit over the past two years and I was considering returning to church service after decades. I spent time researching all the congregation options within a half hour or so and discovered that no churches have actually returned to “normal” and are having unmasked, un-socially distanced services. Horribly disappointing – I decided to bag the whole idea. You summed it up perfectly with this “….they are faith-based upon the dictates of revered authorities.”
And in doing so have broken the basic tenet of religious belief: Thou shalt have no other God before me.

This destroys an act of group worship.
To me the singing together, the harmonizing (now chanting) was always the better part of church.
Our Buddhist group, with trepidation, met together last week, about a dozen of us.
It was fine, completely fine. We all fell into our comfortable patterns, and the virtual-participation set-up was well done also. Several of the virtual participants basically said, “oops I forgot” or “wish I had known to be there today”.
It will be the first meeting each month, for now. I am not saying anything to anybody, just as if it all never happened. That’s my teaching, for now.April 8, 2022 at 5:57 pm #105711John DayParticipantJust for funsies: (Is “LePen” French for “Trump”?)

The resulting epidemic would kill millions, and Horizon would distribute a “vaccine” that actually contains a slow-acting version of the virus itself, which would then kill the rest of the world’s population. The “chosen few”, having been provided with the real vaccine, would then be allowed to inherit the emptied world, justifying their genocidal actions as “saving the world” from the destructive nature of humanity. ”

Ebola virus is one of at least 30 known viruses capable of causing viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome.
Primary exposure – This typically involves travel to or work in an Ebola-endemic area.
Secondary exposure – This refers to human-to-human exposure
(eg, medical caregivers, family caregivers, or persons who prepared deceased patients for burial),
primate-to-human exposure (eg, animal care workers who provide care for primates),
or persons who collect or prepare bush meat for human consumption.Physical findings depend on the stage of disease at the time of presentation.
With African-derived Ebolavirus infection, there is an incubation period
(typically 3-8 days in primary cases and slightly longer in secondary cases).Supportive therapy with attention to intravascular volume, electrolytes, nutrition, and comfort care is of benefit to the patient.
Such therapy must be administered with strict attention to barrier isolation;
all body fluids contain infectious virions and should be handled with great care.No specific therapy is available that has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

which also includes Marburg virus.Marburg virus disease was first recognized in 1967
and is characterized by the same symptoms
and transmission routes as Ebola virus disease.April 8, 2022 at 8:20 pm #105719citizenxParticipantLive Free or Die
Perhaps Carlin’s modern version would be- ‘Live Free or the smug, delusional, narcissistic scum who are trying to dehumanize you into slavery must f’n die”
“A US appeals court has reversed a previous ban on the president’s sweeping vaccination requirement for federal workers” Lets Go Brandon and all Liberal scum Democrats supporting this horror. Torture children and the general population that don’t agree with your Tyranny? Well you can just eat shit and die- looking at you Deflatulance slurper.
The Empire of Hate and Lies will be eviscerated in time- Truth, Love, Honesty and Courage will prevail.
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and tastePleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my gameI stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stankI shouted out,
“Who killed the Kennedys?”
When after all
It was you and meJust as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I’m in need of some restraintSo if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste -
