    The NFL is starting up a Nationwide CPR program, you know because of sudden cardiac arrests but it’s never because of the vaccines.
    It’s just that more and more people are dropping like flies and they want to help.

    So much for the UkoNazis vowing to not give up Bakhmut. Now that the Russians have taken the railway station and are about to cross the rail line, there are not many places left for the UkoNazis to hide.

    Progress is slow because there are anti-personnel mines and boobytraps everywhere which need to be deactivated, to minimise casualties.

    With regard to some of the other stuff going on, especially the theatrical performances relating to Trump, it’s a pity those who comment do not know the difference between fascism and communism.

    Airstrip Five enters the fake Easter festivities a few hours before most countries. What was once a period for quiet contemplation has been morphed by the managers of the corporation into yet another opportunity for ostentatious consumption and the purchasing of goods and services that no one actually needs using fake money that derives its notional value from a general confidence in fake money which is completely unjustified.

    I’d better be careful what I say, now that the ‘hate speech’ witch is slated to be setting up camp less than an hour’s drive from here.

    Actually everyone I associate with hates the bitch, and this morning I witnessed a friend rip the front page off a ‘newspaper’ and screw it up because there was a photo of The Scorpion on the front page. If the thing left the North Island because it is so despised there but thought it would be welcome in the South Island it had better think again because it is even more despised around here than up there. And is even more demented than we thought.

    Okay, so it had a nervous breakdown in January and had to quit before having to face Waitangi. Are we supposed to feel sorry for it when it has caused such enormous damage during its reign of terror?

    The Chipmunk Schoolboy thing that currently pretends to be leader clearly isn’t up to the job and may well crack soon. It got flummoxed when asked to define what a woman is. But now it has a collapsing economy to explain away. Pretty hard when all credibility is gone and it has no answers.

    Soon comes the winter of our discontent.

    I guess the MSM will soon delete the blue-and-yellow icons that have been plastered over everything for the past year. Yet another epic fail.

    NPR = State Media“. Well, that’s THEIR advertising. Yet NPR says it isn’t, they get only 2% of their budget from government. Okay then: you’re “Billionaire NGO Media”. They are the direct voice of billionaires and corporations, as is their funding. …You know, that explains a lot!

    And when Billionaires speak, what social and political form do they universally promote? Funny it seems to be one about how the rest of us shouldn’t have property. “You’ll rent everything (from us) and be happy.”

    “You can only describe this as a fascist prosecution. Any politically inspired prosecution of the opposition that has no real basis, is a hallmark of a fascist state.’”

    And therefore move your money. It’s not about winning or losing: it’s where you place the blame. The system has to go down; who gets the blame? President Hoover? Or the European Banks?

    “Zelensky is visiting Poland to prepare a “diplomatic coalition” for eventual peace talks with Russia..”

    Or attempting to bring in Poland and kill more Slavs. I’m sure both are happening – which is more likely?

    “The retired general believes that “neither side has an advantage” on the battlefield and that there is “no chance of a military end to [the conflict].”

    That’s a strange statement, perhaps missed in translation. So the war can never end? They will be perfectly equal for decades? With Russia having half a million men not even applied yet? No general can ever say this, so why did he?

    ““..The results of sociological surveys also show that the people of Ukraine do not want peace but victory..”

    It’s the “One True Scotsman” fallacy (lie): If they want peace they are not real Ukrainians! We ran the poll inside the 10 government offices in Kiev and they said no!

    “NATO is an entity of American imperialism, which should have disappeared when the Cold War ended in the early 1990s.”

    ““Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

    The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” — Eisenhower, “Chance for Peace”

    But he was a Republican, therefore a war monger/White Supremacists and we don’t listen to him. Funny — sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders.

    So how many trillions lost while Americans have no food or water? While the number of tent cities puts Hoover to shame?
    A: Who cares? I got mine. The more people die, the more there is for me!!

    Ike also said this: “THE PROSPECT of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present — and is gravely to be regarded.
    YET, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”
    –Because he who pays for the research buys the results.

    Here’s some others: “If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.”

    “Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.”

    “A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” -Ike

    “Macron said, adding that should China send any arms to Russia, it “would be complicit in a breach of international law.”

    Says a nation that bombed Libya, stole their gold, and opened the first 21st century slave market. From the first nation in Africa, far more prosperous on the stats than France and the United States, to bottom half in Africa.

    “France Braces For Further Protests on Thursday (RT)

    He tells China what to do because his country is so well run at home there’s just nothing left to do there. Like America!

    “NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg has urged China to halt its “growing alignment” with Russia,”

    You must be kidding. NATO declares the absolute right to decide who talks to whom? GFY. Now I feel like we HAVE to attack just to teach you a lesson.

    ““If the New York bench retains any integrity, this case will be thrown out as legally improper..”

    It was amazing that even the reporters were like: “What’s the crime? It’s not listed in the indictment.” and “The crime of falsifying records is based on there being a crime of fraud etc that profits by it. What is that crime?” Crickets. And that WAS odd, because he didn’t have a BAD answer, he literally had no answer at all, like it never occurred to him. 2 years and no one asked a question yet? These guys are group-think like a block of rocks. WAY beyond hive-mind. Into like Loki’s mind control, slack-jawed minion zombies.

    “Trump Case Shows Divide Among US Elites, Political Crisis Near – Expert (TASS)

    Since nobody ever cares what we think or do, all wars are “Bankers” wars. That is, wars of the elite between themselves. We have the Nationalists and the Internationalists. The weirdo religious cult vs the rest of us.

    “the average duration of these financial crises is about twenty months.” I don’t trust Rickards much, but this quote is important. Also pointing out that all risk is currency risk on the US$ — as it should be.

    “What’s going on is a crisis caused by a shortage of Treasury bill collateral”

    Think about this for a second. We’re printing $4T a year? And that’s NOT ENOUGH collateral??? See why we had to be in the war? Be in a pandemic? He’s not wrong but what is the architecture of the system if that can be true? That’s the other reason Ukr must be won: it’s the only collateral large enough to “borrow against” and hide behind.

    Does Powell REALLY not understand this? I doubt it. Rickards: if the system locks up, what good will your gold do you? There is no debt-credit-promises to move trucks of food and parts around.

    “Three GOP Reps. Introduce Gold Standard Bill To Stabilize Dollar’s Value

    Why now? For about 30 years there was only one, token Ron Paul.

    Article:
    “Calls for urgent climate action based on the language of “edging towards ‘tipping points” have been made over many years. Atmospheric scientists and former IPCC members Richard McNider and John Christy note that climate modeling forecasts have “always overstated the degree to which the Earth is warming compared with what we see in the real climate.” A few examples:
    1. In 1982, UNEP Executive Director Mostafa Tolba warned of an irreversible environmental catastrophe by 2000 without immediate urgent action.
    2. In 2004, a Pentagon report warned that by 2020, major European cities would be submerged by rising seas, Britain would be facing a Siberian climate and the world would be caught up in mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting.
    3. In 2007, IPCC chair Rajendra Pachauri declared: “If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late.”
    4. Most hilariously, in Montana the Glacier National Park installed “Goodbye to the glaciers” plaques, warning: “Computer models indicate the glaciers will all be gone by the year 2020.” Come 2020, all 29 glaciers were still there but the signs were gone, taken down by embarrassed park authorities.

    Beware Catastrophizing Climate Models and Activists

    Article also points out that Climate, Pandemic, (and CRT) all share the same elements. It’s Marxist theory (or neoMarx, for some) ported over to something else. Doesn’t matter what the problem is: the solution is Socialism! (And mass murder).

    If you talked to someone and no matter what the question was, the answer was “Spiders”, you’d think he was mentally ill and not believe his opinions. “Where should we eat?” “Spiders”. “How’s the wife?” “Spiders.” AGW is the same.

    “Third, the rapidly consolidating Censorship Industrial Complex “ Centralization.
    Fourth, an important explanation for the spread of Covid and climate catastrophism is the promotion of fear and panic
    A fifth common theme is the appeal to scientific authority.
    A sixth shared element is the enormous expansion of powers for the nanny state that bosses citizens and businesses because governments know best and can pick winners and losers.

    #6 six is key: anyone recognize what economic and social system this is?
    Seventh, the moral framing has also been used to discount massive economic self-harm.
    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
    Eighth, government policies in both agendas have served to greatly widen economic inequalities
    Important one as the USSR had some disparities in social equity as great as any feudal system.
    The final common element is the subordination of state-based decision-making to international technocrats.
    Minor difference. This is International Socialism (the usual type) and not National Socialism (the fascist type). But essentially the same system: anti life.

    “”Hyper-Emergency” Over As California Readies For ‘Big Melt’ After Record Snowpack

    Don’t worry, although they had to give up on 1,000-year drought in CA this week, they still crow about how one square mile in Death Valley is in drought. And, following #4 never to give up, we still have massive region-wide droughts in the Midwest. Panic! …At the same time they are complaining about region-wide FLOODS in the Midwest. Pick one. JHC.

    Watch 125,000 years of human migration in 1 minute.”

    Hilarious. They don’t know literally a thing about this. WHY is it Africa? Well because glaciation ground all the archaeological evidence down to the bedrock further north. The rest is under the seas. Therefore, it started in the place where the evidence wasn’t washed out with a firehose. This is worse than looking for your car keys under the streetlight because they should know better. It’s like a murder where blood was everywhere, all over the neighborhood, but you assume it happened in the laundromat because that’s the only place he didn’t clean up.

    To put it nicely but in a way your mind will just pass over and ignore: Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence. Is there any fallacy (lie) that we DON’T prefer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

    I would take the #Opposite: 4/5ths of the planet or more COULD have had evidence of early humans, but we know for a fact all that evidence of it would have been destroyed. Wouldn’t it make more sense to premise that evidence SHOULD be there and therefore be extremely skeptical of the places we DO find a little evidence? A: Not if you’re a Scientist. Then you’re a certified idiot.

    In a nutshell (and only oversimplified to an insignificant degree) the way to escape the tyranny of the US Dollar and bring the diabolically corrupt Western Empire crashing back down to where it belongs (an unmarked and unlamented grave) is both simple and imminently doable. Use dollars (in whatever format you happen to have them) to buy durable tangible goods and/or “sound money” alternative currencies which the Western Empire can’t get its hooks into. Steer totally clear of Jewish surnames and you’ll be fairly safe (albeit at the price of minor injustice to some innocent Jewish people of good will. You can make it up to that tiny minority later as circumstances and justice requires.)

    I’m so sick of hearing Sheeple say, “Ukraine can’t be Naziland because they have a Jewish Leader.”

    OK, so how about this headline:

    “Jewish leader of Ukraine persecutes Eastern Orthodox Christians”

    Jewish President of Ukraine seizing Orthodox churches all over Ukraine, priests are being expelled and face the threat of a physical and moral crackdown Metropolitan Pavel, a senior bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, arrest was a prime example of religious persecution by the Jewish President. The leading bishop is being held under house arrest “in electronic shackles, by the orders of Zelinsky, a Jew

    So how’s that for accuracy?

    It is helpful not to conflate socialism and fascism (which is one of the faces of totalitarianism.). The two start from very different places. Socialism starts from the rosy idea of “From each according to ability; To each according to need.” (Which is attributed to Karl Marx, but has Biblical roots.). Fascism, on the other hand, was rooted in hard-edged, nationalist ideology — the nation’s “might” is “right,” and all must subject their will to the well-being of the nation.
    (https://theconversation.com/from-each-according-to-ability-to-each-according-to-need-tracing-the-biblical-roots-of-socialisms-enduring-slogan-138365)

    (Capitalism also integrates an optimistic idea at its core: Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” that guides self-interest into the betterment of all. Granted, this is a little more practical than socialism’s founding motto, but then, Adam Smith was describing something that already had nascent existence, while Karl Marx and his contemporaries were describing an idea.)

    Hannah Arendt, like many of the European intellectuals of her time, leaned towards socialism generally. When she analyzed totalitarianism (specifically German Nazism and USSR’s Communism) she found no parallels between those totalitarian regimes and socialism generally. (Of course, it could be argued that Democratic Socialism had barely begun to be practiced by governments of Europe when she was writing.)

    It is very difficult to implement a large system based upon “From each according to ability; To each according to need.” There are always free-riders. Some free-riders are criminals, and/or have “cluster B” personality tendencies. Others, (like my son with a load of psychiatric diagnoses,) aren’t fully aware that their way of existence is taking more than it gives, or that this is a concept that needs to be understood. (He is 16; I continue to work with him on this…he is gradually coming around, and beginning to voluntarily assume more responsibilities.)

    I think that those tending towards socialism need to realize that no matter how well-intentioned their efforts are, that humanity is more varied than their programs may ever encompass — and that is okay. We have to let individuals choose their outcomes, and as long as those outcomes are not infringing on others’, it is best to let them be.

    And to those who have a more harsh outlook on life and society — “it’s a dog-eat-dog world,” and “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” — whether or not you have boots or straps — they need to understand that, just as is described in writings of ancient times (the Bible, history,) there needs to be simple means for humans to subsist. In Ancient Israel there was Jubilee and field corners and edges were left for gleaners. In medieval Europe, the forest was replete with resources that could sustain life.

    A few days ago spouse and I were driving on the freeway, a course that at times passes through the fringes of Phoenix, where there was undeveloped, desert landscape for a few acres on each side. Here and there I spied tents. How interesting, I thought. A few are choosing to locate themselves out here, a little less than a mile’s walk from the freeway on/off ramp, more than a mile from stores, far enough out that few will bother them or their stuff. An interesting choice. They are subsisting, on their own terms. There must be a way for such subsistence to exist. Do we want humans to have more than subsistence? Certainly! But humans must have that choice — there must be an option to reject society and subsist.

    When the West attacked the rouble, Russia responded by demanding payment for its crude oil in roubles and by putting in place a procedure whereby buyers could readily obtain roubles in exchange for their currencies. In short order, the rouble not only recovered but increased in value beyond its standing when the attack took place. In comments under Andrew Gorybko’s posts on this website, I attempted to describe an international trading system for commodities that would bring the success achieved by Russia to the benefit of all the underdeveloped nations of the world who supply commodities to the rich. The system rests on the foundation of a currencies and commodities exchange market where commodities are priced in gold and paid for in the currencies of the producer nations. The system would create a demand for the currencies of underdeveloped nations; a demand that is sorely lacking today and is a major factor in their underdevelopment. It could eventually be applied more broadly to totally eliminate the use of an international reserve currency that unfairly favours the issuer of the reserve currency above all other nations.

    The US is presently in process of losing its position as issuer of the reserve currency. The new issuer must have vast economic capacity and the military power to enforce its demands. China has the economic capacity but it is relying on Russia to provide the military might. If the Sino-Russian Detente proceeds along its present course, China will soon replace the US as world hegemon and the world will have lost an exceptional opportunity to put in place an international trading system consistent with a multipolar world order.

    Russia, as the pre-eminent supplier of resources to the world has the most to gain by having a fair system for international trade in commodities. It is the natural ally of the underdeveloped resource rich nations. If Russia could gain the full support of those nations in its efforts to break free from US hegemony, then Russia could reduce its reliance on China and fully support Sergey Glasyev in his on-going efforts to implement a fair system for international trade.

    There is a large community of individuals sincerely pushing the concept of a multipolar world order. They must be made aware that such order can only occur with appropriate reform of the international reserve currency system. This website with the assistance of Andrew could play a role in broadening understanding of the issues involved thereby helping to achieve a more just world order.

    Thanks!

    Stating the obvious might get you admonished, excluded or targeted for sanctions here and everywhere.
    Maybe you too, like me, were mistaken about The Ukraine and its people’s religious affiliations.
    Could The Ukrainian Catholics be oppressing the Orthodox church?
    Is Zelensky Catholic, Orthodox or some other ((religion))?
    Come on, this distinction is important if the goal is to take over a country whose population worships predominantly, 80 to 85%, in the Orthodox church…by annihilating that country’s population of young men, again predominantly ages 18 to 36 and 8 out of 10 Orthodox.

    Now that the Zelensky regime openly and covertly oppresses people of a particular faith by arresting Orthodox clergy, one cannot now take the position that religion is not a pertinent issue in this war/conflict.

    “You can only describe this as a fascist prosecution.”

    Everyone should have to read The Gulag Archipelago in its entirety in school. If they DID, they’d know all about all the many trials in the USSR. Trials in which the judge and other officials were ridiculous, incompetent, and stupid, trials in which the accused was brave, brilliant, and forthright.

    The defendants often wiped the floor with the prosecutor. …only to have all the media outlets slander them, then be found guilty and sent to a concentration camp anyway.

    That was early on – 20’s and 30’s – later, sending people to concentration camps was essentially administrative – or if a trial would be seen as beneficial to the authorities, it would be FAR better controlled – orchestrated – than those early ones.

    Any hint of patriotism, nationalism etc has been getting screeches of “fascism” from what we currently call the Left. Because mainline Internationalist Communists/Socialists hate Nationalist Socialists as much as Catholics hated Orthodox in the Middle Ages or Protestant in the Renaissance. Hated them way more than the muslims they were fighting in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Spain, Italy, France, The Mediterranean, and the Holy Lands.

    You never hate outsider-enemies as much as you hate your internal apostates.

    A certain toothbrush faced fellow in central europe in the 20th century gave them such bad apostasy-PTSD, they flip out at the slightest hint of nationalism anywhere. Or it’s just antithetical to Internationalism, so you may as well hit it asap with the biggest hammer you’ve got I suppose.

    I suppose “Fascism” keeps getting used in these complaints against injustice for two reasons

    1. – Throwing it back in their faces? Hey you leftist fucks, you’re being fascist. (Isn’t the total lack of self-consciousness, or shame interesting? What, you’re NEVER aghast no matter how many Fascist things you do?)

    2. – We – well, “we” may not be Communist. Or at least we avoid saying it. We – “we” – go way WAY out of our way to avoid SAYING it. But we sure are against anyone who is against Communism. Probably just a coincidence. Very consistent, very repetitious Cosmic Coincidence. Start complaining about Marxism or NeoMarxism or whatever and they will respond by calling you McCarthyist or fascist or something.

    wtf do I care if the ideological descendents of Marx are of the nationalist or internationalist branches? (Hitler, by the way, was a communist before he turned nationalist socialist) Both killed millions of non combatant civilians in self-defeating ways. Why should anyone be surprised that two branches of the same ideology do the same awful things with the same lack of concern?

    Bad advertising – hey, we’re going to do ridiculously bad things that are bad for you and anyone you’ve ever known or might ever know so stick with our program?

    The 15 Minute Cities thing, which is just the Soviet Micro Districts. (cosmic coincidence, I google it and get a whole bunch of search results with blog posts extolling this failed concept of a failed regime of a failed ideology – they’re great, nothing bad to say about em)

    Hey Masters Of The Universe. Instead of blocking off access for deliveries, travel, and emergency services, try just ONCE in your life to do something competently. Spend some of your gagillions of dollars on creating a neighborhood somewhere, anywhere on earth where people are MORE HAPPY with not having to drive around everywhere.

    Make it work somewhere, anywhere and people will copy it without you having to spend money or impose anything at all! The monkeys near Bikini Atoll started washing their fruit because they saw it working for other monkeys, not because the WEF Took Everything Away From Them or indoctrinated them in right-think to Do Better. If you do what WORKS, then you don’t HAVE to do ANY of the other things.

    Proponents of AI boast that the cool thing about it is, if an AI learns something somewhere, then all AI’s everywhere learn it too. Woooooooow. Oh Em Gee. Idiots, you already HAVE AI. Human civilization does EXACTLY that. If you taught your one AI robot to punch itself in the face and then had it teach all the other AIs that, you’d be stupid, right? Well then?

    I think that RFK Jr.’s decision to run for President is sheer genius. Of course I don’t have a super computer or Google level insights into the psychology of current voter demographics BUT consider what his presence and outspoken criticism will do to the Democrat talking points in the primaries. It’s even conceivable that he could pull in enough Bernie Bros, Just Walk Away-ers , Tulsi lovers and other and semi-sane Dems to win the nomination since they already know that the Biden regime means to destroy America.

    If Kennedy won the nomination it buys the Country some survival time regardless of how the ensuing Presidential election turned out.

    Kennedy knows that he is sacrificing his life because the Cabal will not let him run for the Presidency under any circumstances, yet his assassination would cause the same end-effect as his victory, so they lose either way. A true and knowing martyr. Maybe a true Saint. “Greater love hath no man. . . .”

    16-Year-Old Jonathan Zhao Facing Life and Death

    “Jonathan suffered from severe bodily infections coincidentally after being administered the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot in January 2022. His health deteriorated rapidly thereafter, and he was finally hospitalized at Stanford Children’s Hospital in November 2022 and diagnosed with Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus (CAEBV).”

    Leftist, Commie, Republican, Liberal, Fascist, Anti-Fascist, Democrat, Woke, Far Right, Capitalist, Sheeple, MAGA, Jew, Racist, Supremacist, White, Black, Trans, straight, Expert, Discredited, (etc. ad confoundium) are all labels. The ONLY time that a label is the thing is when you say that a label is a label (and even then it is borderline sketchy). In all other cases a label is not the thing.

    Sometimes labels are necessary for brevity’s sake, but more often they are lazy, misleading, or just plain lies. If you have to use a label then it is highly advisable to define it fairly well in as close to the same paragraph or breath as possible.

    Fucking with labels is poisonous to all concerned. Beware!

    To wish for the death of your enemy is suicide, because the only aspect of your enemy that’s fully ALIVE is virtually (and maybe literally) identical to you. The only thing any of us should want to kill is the lies, and killing liars does not kill lies.

    That was early on – 20’s and 30’s – later, sending people to concentration camps was essentially administrative

    “Later”, oddly, lasted until March of 1953, more or less, while the system continued into late 80’s.
    Post revolutionary “clean-up” in 20’s, with momentous zeal, was similar to post French revolution and often associated with personal vendetta that was resolved under the cover of a new “law” put in place. Nothing new under the sun.
    Carnage in 30’s was under the conductor stick of Stalin, also well documented way how to get rid of potential rivals throughout the history. Power for a psychopath is no guess game.
    You love to live in the past, like in that movie “Midnight in Paris”.

    Ah the joy!

    I’d like to know, too!

    If you’ve been to Pensacola and observed the U.S. Navy’s coddling of those preening pansies, self-entitled Arabian ‘aviation officer candidates’ from Saudi land then y’all never fully understood how deep the mindset penetrates.

    ….because I LIKE you don’t understand why LIKE Iraq, Syria, Libya the Saudis and particularly Prince MBS don’t have the Noriega/Gaddafi/Saddam Treatment coming his/their way.
    Surely, the U.S. military and its fat-challenged leader Msrk Milley believe they can take out the Saudis, repatriate, er ah, I meant steal the oil fst more quickly than the aforementioned. How quickly does one think those NAS Pensacola trained Arabian pilots will go tits up at the first sign of danger?

    Here’s the rub. As you noted, someone must be greenlighting MBS’s openly defiance of Biden and America. That Someone also allowed “gundecking” of Saudi pilot training at NAS Pensacola because not even China or Russia are going to raise a hand in defense of Saudi Arabia should the U.S. decide to “pave it low”.

    When asked why he declined training for flying single seated fighter aircraft the Saudi pilot replied, “If I am alone in the cockpit then who’s going to mix the daiquiris ?”

    Today the EPA released some soil testing data for a city park in East Palestine, Ohio.

    The “Screening Level” for Total Dioxin-Furan is said here to be 0.0000048 mg/kg, which translates to 4.8 Parts Per Trillion.

    The “Screening Level” here is said to be the “Intermediate Residential Regional Screening Level”. I didn’t find an EPA document which specifies this 4.8 PPT screening level for total dioxin-furans, but some of the soil test samples at the park were curiously coming in at 4.5 PPT, 4.6 PPT, and 4.7 PPT.

    I don’t have the experience to analyze the data..

    Hannah Arendt, like many of the European intellectuals of her time, leaned towards socialism generally. When she analyzed totalitarianism (specifically German Nazism and USSR’s Communism) she found no parallels between those totalitarian regimes and socialism generally.

    *sigh*

    Jb-hb — I suppose that you also side with the French nobles and leaders of the military who brutally suppressed the fledgling Paris Commune? The common folk were experimenting with “socialism,” after all. And, who knows, if it had been allowed to flourish, perhaps they’d have ended up with another Robespierre and after that a Napoleon bent in conquest?. We’ll never know.

    The struggle is between tyranny and freedom.

    “Socialism” has been turned into a “bad word” used to label “bad things” because the elites don’t want us to get near ANYTHING that could upset their power over us. The Paris Commune was an interesting experiment in democracy and self-government. But it was in peril of survival from both within and (especially) without from the get go. The roots of socialism are the stories of oppressed people yearning for freedom. And in the 20th century those yearnings were turned time and time again into totalitarian tyranny. And here, in the USA, in the 21st century we are getting our own taste of tyranny, technocratic style, rooted in problems that have ever been with us, that we were struggling with a hundred years ago.

    kultsommer, what point are you making though? I respect you and appreciate you, but would you like to spell out a bit more clearly what you mean so I don’t run in the wrong direction with it?

    20’s injustice was just exuberant revolutionary zeal and 30’s was because of Stalin? Like hey, boys will be boys? Er, no but then the Gulag system DID continue into the late 80’s. Communists were okay-ish for 3 years out of 70?

    I apologize if I’m taking incorrect meaning from you, but

    You love to live in the past, like in that movie “Midnight in Paris”.

    Really?

    I’m watching current-year Marxism working diligently to fuck up absolutely every facet of Western Civ in realtime and I’m living in the past? 150 million dead in the 20th century but they want to “try it properly” this time. It brings to mind Monty Python’s Holy Grail where the guy says “Let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who”

    Like, every “new” concept from defunding the police (used, for instance, when Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia were annexed by the USSR) to 15 minute cities (Soviet MicroDistricts) TODAY…. like somehow their need to “try it properly” again makes ME someone who is living in the past? (is it just that I need to get with the New Thinking? How backwards am I, like in how many old ways? FOUR maybe?)

    What happened at places like Evergreen College in the 2000’s got rolled out for Corporate America in the 20-teens and of course 2020 was the national or perhaps Western World roll-out. And you can draw a very, very obvious line through Marxist academia, frankfurt school, all the way back to Marx and Engels. It’s not even that hard.

    The only interesting question is whether it is the actual ideology of the people at the top of the heap or if they see it as just another poison, like the injection that does not vaccinate.

    Covid death vaxx will be given to vulnerable BABIES for first time!

    How is this anything other than genocide in plain sight!?

    This callous decision is despite the fact that since these death jabs were rolled out there has been an unprecedented rise in deaths of professional athletes who are the fittest and healthiest people on the planet, yet it is somehow suitable for the youngest and most vulnerable!?

    Covid – never was a serious threat to babies and the latest Covid variant is as mild as a common cold. Even more ridiculous is the fact that the experimental mRNA jab wasn’t even created for the current mild covid variant!

    There is absolutely zero medium and long term safety data.

    Of course when these babies inevitably get adverse reactions, serious injuries and deaths they will just claim that it is ‘because they are vulnerable’!

    Covid jabs will be given to vulnerable BABIES for first time: Health chiefs recommend two Pfizer doses for 60,000 at-risk infants aged between 6 months and 4 years old
