    “Surprise! The FBI Lied About ‘White Supremacist’ Memo Targeting Catholics, New Document Reveals

    The FBI lied and they’re sooper mad about it. That’s why no one was fired.

    Speaking of lies no one’s mad about:
    “Security Video Challenges The Narrative On First Man To Die At Capitol On Jan. 6”

    J6 protester NOT harmed by police. Had a simple heart attack before it all started. Now ya think that’s something people would KNOW and not lie about? But it’s so hard to tell since 1/3 of the protesters and online people are FBI starting trouble to cause a civil war. It leaves the question WHO said it wasn’t a simple heart attack. List their names.

    “Nixon decided not to contest the election, despite clear evidence that it was stolen.”

    1) The election isn’t stolen, stupid, you can get banned for that. 2) The election is also COMPLETELY stolen, by the Russians. Both are true and it gives the population zero problems, zero cognitive dissonance. Even if you point it out.

    That goes also 1) There were fraudulent elections but there aren’t any now (see above for next ID10 loop) 2) There were fraudulent elections in the past, but all our Presidents are legitimate. Not like Harding or Adams should be expunged.

    This also causes no cognative dissonance, which is how you know “We’re all PMCs now.” That is, it’s all a magic, abstract world, where nothing we do matters. Therefore, nothing we think needs to be accurate or function. It’s all just a game, an avatar. The people who die are just avatars too, numbers on the screen.

    “Taxpayers were funding Proterra, America’s biggest electric bus company, and now the money’s missing. The whole thing was a political pump and dump scheme and top Democrats were all involved.”

    Deja vu Batman! This was the same with Musk’s “Solana”, back when he was a Liberal and DNC DemiGod and couldn’t be criticized or touched. Or Obama, or somebody, honestly, without Capitalism and bankruptcy they’re ALL political pump and dump schemes, even Ford and GM. If they weren’t, the government would put them out of business.

    Study this chart closely. Next year this will be AI. 2021 was Legalization stocks.

    “[NATO] he launched an attack on the breakaway region of South Ossetia, hoping to overwhelm the Russian peacekeeping battalion stationed there since the 1990s.”

    “Russia’s long, soft, underbelly” as they’ve written constantly for 100 years. But although they write it near-daily, they’re never involved in any conflicts there. No. That would be cray-cray. We’re lily-white and all innocent-like. Although we say we’re not and give anti-aircraft rockets to terrorists…thus creating Osama Bin Laden. Which we never did, because he’s baddie bad, but we did do, which is goodie-good.

    “• US Told Pakistan To Remove Imran Khan From Power – Intercept (RT)

    Roughly speaking part of MacKinder’s “Long, soft underbelly”

    “How much more proof is required? Asking for a friend.”

    Proof of what? I don’t see anything. — American voter.

    You could up this to $200 Million, $20 Billion, $200 Trillion, that Biden had 100 Sons all named Dave and everyone of them did 1,000 years of crack and banged all 20 million of the world’s underage hookers and it wouldn’t matter. …I mean, obviously. If you thought “Nothing matters and anything goes” was just a hyperbolic slogan by Kunstler. No, it’s a sacred vow, it’s the Meaning of Life. Why? “I Am God”. The ‘secular’ religion of Humanism. The present theocracy of New Age, Progress, transhumanism, and scientific materialism. I am God. Therefore only what I think or want matters.

    I don’t think of Hunter, and I don’t want it to be real. So it isn’t. Because I am God. Thus the whole U.S. electorate minus 20% who claim to be Christians and the 1% who actually are.

    “• Trump: Biden ‘Petrified of China’ Because They Pay Him Millions of Dollars (Sp.)

    As yesterday they PRINT money, money means nothing. So what is “Bribery” in this context? They’re all totally corrupt, why doesn’t Joe go down the hall and have Yellen print him some bonds (Newsflash: they do. $40T is missing). So what’s all this “Bribery” stuff? It’s a SIGNAL. It’s like kissing Don Corleone’s ring. Because money has no meaning, only POWER, and CONTROL. And control for what? Well obviously to make people do what they don’t want to, or they’d do it all naturally without your command.

    Control for what? The Master Plan. Which we all know, “To (re)make the world in our Image” and for what? Well, they’re all violent, religious fanatics establishing a theocratic state. To make the world safe and perfect for Lucifer, our Morning Star. Only if we can drive the people to complete physical and moral exhaustion will they Lo! Suddenly see the light and salvation and worship him, the solution to all their problems.

    In short, they’re insane, but most fanatics are. They pay him millions to demonstrate they’re on board with The Plan. The Plan of subjugating and destroying all (free) life on earth.

    “Search Warrant Was Issued for Donald Trump’s Twitter Account (BBC)

    Trump is so unimportant they’re still looking for the smallest DM to erase him. He’s out of office, doesn’t have any power, right? And all the news – CNN for instance – runs 2 articles a day on Trump for 80 articles and only 7 on Biden. …Because Biden is the President and running things, right? Biden’s the important one we need to elect?

    “Critical Mineral Shortage to Put US Energy Security at Risk (Sp.)

    The “Critical Mineral Shortage” = all electric cars. Which can’t be built. Although we’re going to build 300 million of them. Tomorrow. Because we already outlawed all gas cars. And don’t have a grid to charge them.

    Right! Everything goes and nothing matters. When all this fails from PMC advice, rules, and direction, they’ll be driving a Tesla to Starbucks and checking their compounding 401k. Everyone ELSE will be walking to work like plebes with newspapers in their shoes. Or “not-work” as every job will be lost and every business closed.

    Speaking of, Sales Tax quickest, greatest collapse ever. (lost the chart), along with trucking down 20% overnight, and home sales, instantly frozen after which prices collapse next which select CRE is already +60% down. “The Fed raises until something breaks.” Period. They’re not going to raise, then stop with a Dow 60,000, still all-speculation, no banks failing, right? Does that make sense to anyone?

    “• Shakespeare Banned in US School Districts over ‘Sexual Content’ (RT)

    News here is “Teachers have clearly never read Shakespeare”. Of course that’s not news. Please point to what you think is offensive enough that it would give rise to lawsuits or problems? No, they’re just having a toddler tantrum, like Gay Pride when they said they couldn’t be naked in front of children. Or Gay Storyhour where the real problem and legal issue was bringing 5-year-old to bars and strip clubs? This is what they do every other year if you don’t sign off on extortion of School Budgets. …They close the Parks and the Library until morale improves. Because nothing says “Teachers only care about community education” like closing the library to all the poor kids, right? Wouldn’t want them reading without permission or nothin’ would you?

    “Better known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law,”

    Or lesser known as the DSG law…so…let me get this straight: the law only applies to people up to 1st? 3rd? Grade? And that’s why it’s so hilarious they fight it like Cancer. The earth can burn down, we can start WWIII, but the ONLY issue I care about is We MUST do sex with children in the 3rd Grade. MUST!!!!!!!!!!! If kids in the 3rd Grade don’t sex every day, why life is barely worth living!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway, my point: So their allegation is that Florida sub-3rd Graders all read Shakespeare? Has to be pried out of their soft little baby hands? Uh, yeah. I wish. This is what passes for logic all day around here, in #Idiocracy. Which wasn’t meant to be an Operator’s Manual. This is then reported without irony by people dumber than that.

    “Obama, the “Magic Negro of the billionaire industrial complex.”

    He’s not a Negro. He’s half-white. Or all-White since he was raised exclusively in a White family. …Unless we all believe in the “single drop of black blood” theory, right? Oh, you all DO believe in that? My bad.

    ‘Native American Guardians Association’ Petition to Restore Washington Redskins Name Goes Viral

    They erased all the actual Indians, so now the Liberals with true #Helping are going to erase even the very MEMORY there were ever Indians. Or proud. So no Pontiacs, no Cherokees, no Redskins. Don’t you know remembering the Indians, that they existed and were powerful and important, is racist? The only not-racist thing is to erase them entirely, as if they never were. So once again, Sherman, the KKK, and Liberals all agree.

    But there is so much more work left to do! Now we must, must erase Robbie Robertson. Or at least any ties between him and Mohawk. And what’s the prize Herr Docktor, once we do? Why we’ll say the world was composed of, and created by, only White People, of course! First we erase them, then we make them feel guilt for it. Then Ka-Ching: Step 3: Profit.

    “It’s impossible to parody what is already an absurdist parody.” -OTM

    I guess this is the result of “Everything goes and nothing matters.” It’s therefore the “nothing matters” part. Nihilism, depression, despair. When Power – PMCs – erase all cause and effect and live in a world of perfect madness, this is the result. Nothing matters. Which gives life its very meaning that something matters, that what you do counts.

    But nothing you do counts. Nothing you do matters. If you make or do anything we take it, ‘coz “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.” As long as that’s true, nothing you do matters and life has no meaning.

    Germany Plans $63 Billion In Green Energy Investments For 2024
    The ruling coalition in Germany has decided that nearly all new heating systems should run on 65% renewable energy, with exemptions for homeowners aged over 80 and for households with the lowest incomes.
    Industry associations and the German public disagree with the planned ban.
    A Forsa survey commissioned by RTL and ntv showed in April that 78% of Germans do not approve of the bill, and only 18% think the decision to ban oil and gas heating systems is the right one.

    Go Woke Get Choked

    Forced To Sell Off Beer Brands After Losing $27B In Market Value

    Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB-InBev), the once world-renowned brewing conglomerate, will sell eight of its craft beer brands.

    This decision is a clear indication of a significant downsizing in AB-InBev’s craft beer portfolio, a part that the company had once aggressively pursued.

    The buyer, Tilray Brands, is a Canadian cannabis firm

    Hahahahahaha!

    A cannabis company kicking Anheuser-Busch in the nuts!

    Hahahahahaha!

    It has been making strategic inroads into the craft beer market. The brands that will transition to Tilray’s ownership include Shock Top, Breckenridge Brewery, Blue Point Brewing Company, 10 Barrel Brewing Company, Redhook Brewery, Widmer Brothers Brewing, Square Mile Cider Company, and Hiball Energy.

    “Is it worth the cost already being paid — tens of thousands of dead youngsters and families?” Kennedy wrote on Twitter on August 7. “Billions of American dollars drained from our food banks, our hospitals, our schools and instead detonated in foreign skies to rip young flesh from bone? Higher gas bills, higher grocery prices, higher utility bills, higher housing costs, and too little money in your bank account to pay for them? Tell me, President Biden, how is it worth all this to fight a war that could have ended a month after it began?”

    “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.” As long as that’s true, nothing you do matters and life has no meaning.” Dr. D

    A short and most succint argument against the extended family and human procreation with investment in child nurturing.

    You snipped the quote at just the right part, didn’t you? But here’s the full statement you were quoting

    If you make or do anything we take it, COZ “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.”

    The thing you made (perhaps over years or decades of dedication and labor) FOR your wife, FOR your 7 year old son or daughter for instance, GETS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU

    ergo anyone who objects is against families!

    Ergo, we take everything from you “for” extended family. You don’t hate, aren’t against extended family are you? Then live in zee pods, eat zee bugs, do not object if we want to sterilize your child and end your family line. It’s for family.

    And who will decide for us who does the taking and what gets taken? Away from our families FOR family? You in your higher than ours wisdom?

    Taking a stand for evil. Golf clap.

    Defending What’s Ours https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/defending-whats-ours

    The Great Unravelling: ‘For All That Is Ours, We Must Fight’
    The entire American political set-up – with or without a FARA indictment, and with the 2024 elections looming – is fragile, Alastair Crooke writes.
    ​..For the sake of clarity, what is being expressed here is that this ​[latest Trump] indictment is part and parcel of the ongoing western ‘culture war’ – just as scientists were cancelled, dismissed from their professions and ostracised for expressing a view about mRNA science; just as views on human biology are subject now to official negation; just as ‘misgendering’ has become a potential criminal offence (hate speech), so ideological and institutional capture is being extended to the political sphere.​..
    ..This ​[Biden bribery scandal] might argue for an early exit from Ukraine, or contrarily, the Clinton stratagem in respect to ‘imploding the Lewinski scandal’ – war on Serbia.​
    ​ The reaction against the ​’politics of negation’ (as Chris Rufo terms it in his book, America’s Cultural Revolution) or cancellation in today’s vernacular has come to Europe too. In the UK, the scandal arising from the banking world’s blacklisting of Nigel Farage for his political views (the former leader of a pro-Brexit party), revealed the hitherto unknown fact that more than 1,400 companies are members of a corporate lobby ‘diversity scheme’ – one that insists corporate members stand against “all forms of oppression” and “dismantle racist systems, policies, practices, and ideologies”, and align with the interests of ‘wider society’.
    ​ Farage’s bank was accredited to the scheme, with the bank citing its ‘B Corp’ membership to contend that pro-Brexit Farage did not conform with the bank’s ‘diversity commitment’, or those of ‘wider society’, as cause for closing his account.
    ​ Behind the scenes then, it transpires, there is B Corp pursuing diversity correctness, and Stonewall (the LBGTQ charity) overseeing employment guidelines in the UK. With no bank account (as all other banks conformed to the blacklisting), Farage would have been ‘cancelled’ from society.
    ​ The point that Rufo makes in his book is that a political programme rooted in “negation” can offer no positive programme that won’t swiftly fall victim to its own politics of critique (as the Farage case illustrates). The result, Rufo argues, has not been utopia, but a harvest of “failure, exhaustion, resentment, and despair, and a proliferating class of peevish bureaucrats bickering about symbols and ephemera”.

    Ecuador’s Outspoken Anti-Narco Presidential Candidate Assassinated In Broad Daylight
    ​ “When he stepped outside the door, he was met with gunfire,” a member of Villavicencio’s campaign team said of the candidate. “There was nothing to be done, because they were shots to the head.”
    ​ Villavicencio, a legislator in the National Assembly, has been tireless in speaking out against organized crime, drug trafficking, and government corruption. Among his talking points on the campaign trail has been that Ecuador is a “narco state” being led by the “political mafia”.
    ​ This is why in the aftermath of his killing, it’s being widely blamed on those very criminal elements. He was by far the most vocal candidate against the drug traffickers and corrupt dealings with the state. He was also a former investigative journalist, having years ago exposed government corruption and bribery deals related to the oil industry.
    ​ The suspected gunman died in police custody after being wounded at the scene in a shootout with security personnel. The attack additionally injured nine people and two police officers.

    ​ Gilbert Doctorow on Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s recent speech:
    ​ Very few in the West have questioned the logic of expansion being a plus and only a plus. One such person was Professor Stephen Cohen, when he pointed out nearly twenty years ago that NATO is not a fraternity house. It is supposedly guided by the national security interests of its member states, and admission of the Baltic States was a net negative for the alliance. I have updated that critique with today’s remarks on how Finland’s joining the Alliance is another ‘own goal’’ by the NATO team.
    ​ Now let us proceed with this debunking of U.S. security considerations by taking a look at the often cited author of Washington’s Ukraine strategy as from the administration of Barack Obama to today, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Many promoters of U.S. and allied support for Ukraine in its war effort now cite Brzezinski’s “prescient” remarks in his widely sold and read book of 1997, The Grand Chessboard. This was written at a time when Americans were still looking for a new global strategy given that they had, as they believed, won the Cold War and seemed to lack a replacement national purpose.
    ​ Brzezinski insisted that if Ukraine could be detached from its close industrial and political relationship with Russia, then Russia would cease to be an imperial power and could be re-categorized as just another non-threatening European state.
    ​ We all know today where pursuit of Brzezinski’s road map has brought us. Russia is arguably stronger than ever now that its society has been consolidated behind a patriotic mission, now that its armed forces have mastered the arts of high-tech ground war and its military industry has expanded production multifold. In this context, we may say that Brzezinski’s advice to his compatriots and their leadership was harebrained. For anyone who cares to look into this question further, I urge them to consult my several chapters critiquing Brzezinski’s writings in the ‘90s and early in the new millennium in my collection of essays entitled Great Post-Cold War American Thinkers on International Relations (2010).
    ​ Brzezinski’s efforts to contain Russia went beyond his writings to active participation in plans laid by his former protégé Madeleine Albright, who became Secretary of State, to wage ‘pipeline wars’ against Russia. This was a two-pronged effort: to stymie Russia’s planned gas pipelines to Europe like South Stream and to promote alternative pipelines from Central Asian and Caucasus gas producers which would run outside the borders of the Russian Federation and so would be free of Kremlin interference. The various actors and developments in the multi-year ‘pipeline wars’ are discussed in my 2013 collection Stepping Out of Line.
    ​ The end result of that policy was the imposition of a ban on importation of Russian hydrocarbons into Europe as punishment for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline last year. As we know today this is resulting in the deindustrialization of Germany, Europe’s lead economy and exporter, in high inflation across the Continent and in a widespread decline in European living standards.
    ​ Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for.

    Tom Luongo eventually makes the case that the ECB is losing assets that it can leverage to conjure more euros, as currency-crisis looms.
    Collateral Damage
    ​ As Alex Krainer taught me a few years ago, it’s all about collateral. Europe cut itself off from its energy collateral. It tried through the Iran Nuclear deal to get some collateral by investing in Iran. Who was the first to belly up to the trough in 2016 after the deal was signed? No less than France’s Total, with a $4+ billion deal.
    ​ Trump killed that when he tore up the JCPOA. That Total contract went to China.
    ​ The Syrian invasion was all about bringing in cheap Middle East energy into the EU, bypassing Russia. Russia killed that. Now they’ve outmaneuvered Europe in N. Africa.
    ​ While you see the Biden administration acting quickly to isolate Niger’s coup, mostly through the Davos-controlled State and Treasury departments did we see the Pentagon rush into action?
    ​ Not really. It’s the same kind of mealy-mouthed pablum Zelensky complains about daily. This is another tell.
    ​ Niger may further expose the rift at the top of the US power structure, especially while the walls are closing in on “Joe Biden.” The sheer number of stone walls going up around Capitol Hill to protect Biden and his people tell me there’s a bull market in bricks and mortar somewhere. But as fast as they erect them, their lies are getting exposed and a diffe​rent wall is torn down. So, it’s all a mess right now.
    ​ Leverage is stacking up all over the place and this is now getting very interesting.
    ​ Expect the full court press into US political clown show over the next six to nine months, feeding the ratings game and the global perception of the US descending into anarchy.
    ​ In my mind, S&P and Moody’s will ultimately do what they are told to do. S&P put France on ‘credit watch negative in June, so by September they will have to make a new decision.
    ​ This week, Fitch just gave away who they work for. The S&P 2011 downgrade was a Davos operation in hindsight, to bring on the coordinated CB policy and stay at the zero-bound forever.
    ​ When it failed, flip to CBDCs and expand the colonization strategy.

    Heart-Scarring Observed In Children Months After COVID-19 Vaccination: Study​ [Not “mostly reversible”]
    ​ Researchers followed a group of 40 patients aged 12 to 18 for up to one year after the children were diagnosed with myocarditis, or heart inflammation, following vaccination with one of the messenger RNA shots from Pfizer or Moderna. They performed a series of tests, including echocardiograms.
    ​ Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or cardiac MRIs, was performed on 39 of the 40 patients. Abnormal results came in for 26 of those who were imaged, including 19 who had late gadolinium enhancement, or signs of scarring.
    ​ The patients with abnormal results returned for follow-up cardiac MRIs at least five months after the initial tests and 15, or 58 percent, had residual late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The one patient without an initial scan also had mild late gadolinium enhancement when scanned during a follow-up visit.

    Horowitz: CDC committee shockingly approves yet another RSV shot that had more fatalities in trial group than placebo​
    The RSV vaccine was the original poster child for negative efficacy of failed vaccines in the 1960s. Now officials want to take your newborn and, on top of the existing list of vaccines plunged into his body, administer a brand-new RSV shot that openly has safety concerns. Josef Mengele is smiling in hell.
    ​ What sort of government would rush RSV shots on newborn babies with numerous questions about the clinical trial data, especially after experiencing so much carnage from the rushed COVID shots? A country that values the biomedical security state and pharma grift more than the lives of children.
    ​ State of play with RSV shots
    ​ Despite Fauci himself warning that RSV shots were not ready for prime time, and despite no rationale to rush an RSV shot at pandemic speed, the FDA has already approved three versions. Officials have approved Pfizer’s shot both for seniors and for pregnant women and have approved GSK’s version for seniors.

As for GSK’s senior shot, members of the CDC’s advisory committee raised concerns that it “can overstimulate the immune system, which is why it is only used for the elderly or immunocompromised.” Gee, where have we seen that before?

    Heart-Scarring Observed In Children Months After COVID-19 Vaccination: Study​ [Not “mostly reversible”]
    ​ Researchers followed a group of 40 patients aged 12 to 18 for up to one year after the children were diagnosed with myocarditis, or heart inflammation, following vaccination with one of the messenger RNA shots from Pfizer or Moderna. They performed a series of tests, including echocardiograms.
    ​ Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or cardiac MRIs, was performed on 39 of the 40 patients. Abnormal results came in for 26 of those who were imaged, including 19 who had late gadolinium enhancement, or signs of scarring.
    ​ The patients with abnormal results returned for follow-up cardiac MRIs at least five months after the initial tests and 15, or 58 percent, had residual late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The one patient without an initial scan also had mild late gadolinium enhancement when scanned during a follow-up visit.

    Horowitz: CDC committee shockingly approves yet another RSV shot that had more fatalities in trial group than placebo​
    The RSV vaccine was the original poster child for negative efficacy of failed vaccines in the 1960s. Now officials want to take your newborn and, on top of the existing list of vaccines plunged into his body, administer a brand-new RSV shot that openly has safety concerns. Josef Mengele is smiling in hell.
    ​ What sort of government would rush RSV shots on newborn babies with numerous questions about the clinical trial data, especially after experiencing so much carnage from the rushed COVID shots? A country that values the biomedical security state and pharma grift more than the lives of children.

    “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”

    Jb beats me to it in a slightly different emphasis.

    To me, that seems simple: there are two bodies there: from and to. In his case, Fathers (workers) and families (women and children). But there aren’t. THERE ARE THREE.

    The Third party is WHO is transferring FROM and TO? As soon as you add that third party — the one that Marx has hidden — it all becomes perfectly clear. WHO transfers, or more importantly WHO decides? Marx does. He’s the smart guy. He writes the papers, he’s bourgeois, he’s the apparatchik, HE decides. He is God. He knows better than society, the family, even better than YOU. He knows all: is omniscient and omnipotent. Marx is God.

    Or any and every one of his acolytes who say the same thing: — I — know best. — I — am the smartest person in the room. — I — know better than every. single. person. anywhere in society, ever.

    …That’s why Marx is attractive to the young and very foolish. They haven’t had their teeth knocked out yet.

    Put another way, WHO knows best what MY family needs when I create stuff for them? — I — do. Me. I do that VOLUNTARILY. Charity, love is VOLUNTARY. It’s a VOLUNTARY expression, a voluntary ‘exchange’ if you will, although you get nothing for it. To do anything else is to FORCE love, an internal state. To FORCE charity, an internal state. Does that make it clearly why it doesn’t work?

    And that is best demonstrated in “Hate speech”. That is, we are going to control HATE, an internal emotion, so I feel the right and duty to go INSIDE YOUR MIND, in YOUR SOUL, to ATTACK and remove and adjsut anything — I — feel like. Any TIME I feel like. Because I am God. How much less to merely attack, inject, imprison your body?

    No, sirs. You do NOT control my LOVE. Nor my hate for that matter. You cannot FORCE Love. Love for Big Brother, for you, to fill your narcissistic hollowness. Love comes from God, so maybe seek him out and meet him sometime.

    And not one comment on that amazing 4,500 year old wooden head sculpture…. I can look at that for ages. The eyes, the soft expression, the kindness, this is someone I could meet today, and have a great conversation with. And then you think: that’s quite the cleft there in his forehead. 4,500 years. What was happening then where you live?

    It it a large date palm trunk?

    Imported cedar from Lebanon?

    Habitat destruction was not quite in full swing in 2465-2323 BC

    I’m not concerned with humans effect on climate, I’m concerned with habitat destruction and a complete lack of respect for the natural world and it’s creatures.

    I’d save this monkey family’s habitat

    .

    over this ‘habitat any day of the week

    Complete lack of boundaries and any self control, just whining about how unfair wealth distribution is.

    Cry me a river.

    These people would gladly destroy that monkey family’s habitat without the slightest pang of conscience or guilt for another rice paddy or train station.

    The Chinese, who have about the same population would NEVER tolerate the urban squalor, hoomelessness and public poverty you see everywhere in India.

    Like never.

    So I can see why India and China have ‘issues’.

    The Chinese think Indian social structure is a horrifying chaotic mess and the Indians think the Chinese are Anal Retentive Control Freaks (ARCF), social credit score hell.

    I don’t ever agreement between the two culture, even though both are burning through habitat and resources like a human forest fire.

    Ilargi- I did look at for a long time- and I have looked at him for a long time many times before. It is a remarkable portrait from a time when realistic portraiture was absent. Check out the angle on wiki-p, and his demeanor changes. From bemused and pensive face-on, to a bit apprehensive and wry from the side. Astonishing craftsmanship!

    I rode in to Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead
    I just need someplace where I could lay my head
    I said, “Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a friend+?”
    He just grinned and shook my hand and “yours+” is all he said

    Robbie left the same day as Ol Jerry.
    Garcia and the Dead were clearly a fan of The Band as they covered many of their tunes with both the Dead and Jerry Band.

    + On a few occasions, Jerry changed the lyrics of “The Weight” from ‘bed to friend’ and ‘no to yours’ as noted above.

    The Dead literally keeping the music Alive.

    Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
    My bag is sinkin’ low and I do believe it’s time
    To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one
    Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

    Take a load off Fanny
    Take a load for free
    Take a load off Fanny
    And (and, and) you put the load right on me
    (You put the load right on me)

    Now, I don’t mind chopping wood
    And I don’t care if the money’s no good
    You take what you need
    And you leave the rest
    But they should never
    Have taken the very best

    The Third party is WHO is transferring FROM and TO? As soon as you add that third party — the one that Marx has hidden — it all becomes perfectly clear. WHO transfers, or more importantly WHO decides? Marx does. He’s the smart guy.

    Like Ticketmaster, standing between music fans and musicians. Uh, Ticketmaster, what is it, would you say, that you do for us? “I take your money”

    Hedge fund running servers on a laser link bidding and retracting bids at nanosecond speed to take money from traders and investors. What do you do for us, hedge fund? “I supply liquidity” Ahahaha coughcough whew. No really though, what? “I take your money”

    Marx just thinks no that is wrong, Ticketmaster and skimming hedge fund servers should be HIM and he should be everything. There shouldn’t be stuff out there that isn’t that and isn’t me. And we’ll call that The Extended Family. Not creepy and weird at all.

    “But nothing you do counts. Nothing you do matters. If you make or do anything we take it, ‘coz “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.” As long as that’s true, nothing you do matters and life has no meaning.”

    There ya go Mr. Projection.
    indeed an effort is made to pack innuendo into each short phrase, however your ability to read between the lines is astonishing. D’s reversal of the intent of the From To phrase is cynical even for the Dr. I hope you understand that the capitalist renunciation of the original was because the flow of resources was the antithesis of that used in today’s comment.

    May i offer you a breath mint?

    “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.” is exactly what Dr D said in his post, what you said in your post, and what I said in my post.

    “D’s reversal of the intent”?
    “capitalist renunciation of the original”?

    I haven’t seen anyone reversing from and to. I even ctrlf’ed the entire conversation and no one said it differently.

    Capitalism: individual ownership of the means of production
    Communism/Socialism: State ownership of the means of production

    Everyone, as far as I can see, is talking about “FROM each according to their ability, TO each according to their need.” without renunciation, inversion, or reversal. Someone is going to gather up the resources, the access, whatever, and then distribute it equitably in this scenario.

    If you’d like to define it as something other than its standard understood meaning, the meaning Marx meant, for instance if you want to say:

    “Marx was wrong and totally mistook the meaning of that phrase, what it really means is x”

    that would help as a basis for conversation. We’re discussing the phrase as Marx is understood to have intended it in terms of application and how his followers have repeatedly applied it. How his current followers in academia understand its application. So I guess explain how you see Marx as being wrong in his interpretation of his statement first, then?

    Or if you want to say “Marx was right, but Lenin, Mao, Trosky, and everyone else got it wrong” ok, then state your case.
