    bender: “Claims are made and those claims are easily disproven.”

    why do you never state any opinions of your own? the only thing you ever do is (rudely) criticize the ideas of others.

    can you not think of your own ideas? can you not state what you believe?

    c’mon, private, second class, give us something to (not rudely) criticize of your own.

    They opened up the floodgates on Trump election meddling (again) for some reason. He had a coup! You can tell by how he’s still in power! So…CNN, NBC, retards of the world, apparently he did NOT take actions? Or was really, really REALLY bad at taking actions? He was Executive of EVERYTHING. He had the military, FBI DoJ, +25 States at his command. And…so he…Um… Bombshell! Walls are closing in! RussiaRussiaRussia! Trump THOUGHT about calling a people’s coup (but didn’t). THOUGHT about commanding the military (but didn’t). THOUGHT about confiscating the election machines…because 100% of media said Russia was meddling (but didn’t). THOUGHT about telling Pence to stop the elector tally (but didn’t)

    It sounds like Trump, like many butthurt narcissists, entertained a number of ridiculous fantasies that were never going to happen for vindicating his wounded ego. I wish we could get ourselves better leaders than choices such as Trump, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden, but societies do tend to get the leaders they deserve.

    Democracy is the theory that the people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

    “In your efforts to protect your old and failing civilization we are dismantling, we find these means necessary. If people will allow such vaccines to invade their own bodies and their children’s in order to comply and to be the same or “equal” to “everyone” else they most certainly will not object to or oppose their wealth, use of resources and life styles being equalized as well.”
    (from the letter)

    @Phoenixvoice (and DocR)
    Trauma often causes a person to pick up on patterns that others don’t pick up on as readily — such as patterns of abuse — and can cause hypersensitivity to authoritarianism.
    Well said.
    If the shoe fits, I’ll happily wear it. Significant childhood trauma here – tick.
    I suspect the correlation is partly hypersensitivity as above, but also that the upside of experiencing and recovering from childhood trauma is death of the naive belief that mummy and daddy can fix everything which causes “normies” to regress and become passive, expect others to magically fix things.
    From my childhood experience I’ve become a believer in the importance of childhood parental attachment, and I parent my daughter in the attachment model. I perceive a correlation between healthy attachment and a happy, positive kid.
    BUT, as others have observed, the lack of that for me was not an unmitigated tragedy.. the self-reliance and ability to step back and observe, and even to tolerate a degree of social rejection that normies might find intolerable.. in times like now is most definitely an asset.

    Point taken on the actual number of “trucks” being an exaggeration. What IS clearly visible, however, are the thousands of people who took time out of their lives, and braved a Canadian winter (and not just in Ottawa itself but all along the route), to show their support for this movement. Every politico and pollster watching knows that there are hundreds at home cheering for each one that is on the street.

    That is the true meaning of what is going on–the part you cannot readily see in a few photos but that everyone knows exists.

    In its frantic search for a new straw man CNN could save a lot of time effort and money by cutting out the middleman and going straight to the World Economic Forum. I’m sure their little club could provide a graduate more than eager for the job. I hear that Justin Trudeau, for example, is quietly exploring options for a new position.

    ANDERSON COUNTY, SC (WSPA) – Leadership with Anderson County Emergency Medical Services said recently, they have seen a 40 percent increase in the number of 911 calls.

    “We’ve seen an increase not necessarily in COVID type patients, but all kinds of medical and trauma calls,” Kelly said. “The first COVID pandemic we had, the first round, we saw a drastic decrease in 911 calls for literally a couple of months. This time, it’s not the same. We’re absolutely just wide open.”

    Kelly said they’re seeing 39 percent more calls than they did this time last year.

    Unfortunately, you are mistaken again.

    those darned kids is a perfect example of several things I have been ranting about.

    1) Always be contrary. Especially towards perceived “enemies”. Even when you’re wrong.
    2) Rarely be right. But just act like you are.
    3) They don’t know what they don’t know. But they think they know, so they say they do.
    4) When shown their errors in judgement, they will simply just pivot to the next thing to be aggrieved about. Or just call me a robot.

    Seriously, well done.

    Little bitcoin report from San Salvador, El Salvador

    For the vast majority of Salvadorans bitcoin is a synonym of the Chivo wallet app. This app had lots of issues and was revamped and replaced internally around the end of the year. Anyone using the Chivo app with other Chivo users do not in fact interact with the bitcoin ecosystem. While there are issues of identity theft where someone can use some else ID to steal their $30 bonus from the gov, most people that use chivo seem to be OK. On the other hand, anyone that interact with Chivo from the bitcoin network, i.e. non-chivo wallet, will hit a snag at some point. I personally have $400 stuck in chivo but it’s being resolved.

    After the initial rollout which included the $30 bonus to any new user, the novelty has died off and very few ordinary people use it for day to day transactions. I suspect that this is in part due to many issues in chivo before it was replaced by the new system where lightning payments always had issues and many payments got lost. Many businesses stopped accepting bitcoin since they were using chivo POS. Bigger businesses use other payment processors such as IBEX Mercado or OpenNode which always work reliably.

    What’s most interesting is the excitement of most foreigners coming here since these people are knowledgeable either on the financial side of bitcoin, or the technical side, or both. The community is so small still that I, just a simple pleb with citizenship here, get to meet some investors and tech gurus that can direct millions in investments. They all are excited and they all mention that there are lots of people and business getting ready to come here. If that happens look out.

    This place is going to look a lot different in 10 years.

    What you said about your experiences makes sense to me.

    According to that study, a large majority of the people with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) still exhibit “compliance with, trust in and support for COVID-19 control measures” (or at least they said they do).

    For people with 4+ ACEs,
    88% did not have “low trust in NHS COVID-19 information”
    83% did not think they were “unfairly restricted a lot by government”
    86% did not think that “mandatory face coverings should go”
    62% did not “break restrictions at least occasionally”
    81% did not have “vaccine hesitancy”

    Vax mandates leading to nobody delivering the food and now nobody to plant the food. Ouch.

    And all the government has to do is lift the mandates.

    Trudeau Tests Positive For Fascism

    January 31st, 2022 – BabylonBee.com

    Pink Lives Matter!

    https://i.redd.it/m4zae388c0y41.jpg

    OTTAWA—From an undisclosed hiding place outside Canada’s capital city, Prime Minister
    Justin Trudeau confirmed for the world that he has tragically tested positive for fascism.

    “I took the fascism test this morning,” said Trudeau, beginning to sob. “And the test came back positive.

    I understand this may come as devastating news to freedom-loving Canadians, and I am here to assure you that everything will be ok… after I crush you underneath the jackboot of government tyranny until you learn to start obeying me.”

    “Together, we will achieve strength through unity, and unity through faith. In SCIENCE.”

    According to sources, Trudeau will remain in his hiding place under quarantine e scary protesting truckers go away, after which he will emerge to grind his peo o the very dust until they accept his vision for a glorious fascist future for Canada.

    Fortunately, his plans have been delayed as his replacement glue-on vanity eyebrows are still stuck on a delivery truck somewhere, and the fascist dictator refuses to be seen without them.

    Wow!

    What’s the nation’s chief exec suppose to do when faced with the most criminally corrupt national election in the history of U$ Empire Inc., hmmmm? Maybe it wasn’t all about his “wounded ego” & trying to legally protect Us from Them?

    Only a fool couldn’t see that NOV 2020 was clearly a TBTF coup d’etat to rid the #DERP state of the ONLY POTUS in 60 years that didn’t start and/or expand the war apparatus?

    For all of Trump’s warts (some of them unforgivable, like sleeping with BIG pharma’s operation #DERP speed), compared to the mentally deranged WH admins that preceded/followed, he was the most honest & sincere POTUS since JFK…

    I don’t support him for 2024, but his impact was/is undeniably more good than bad, unless that is you’re a neoCON/neoLIB partisan zombie and/or operative.

    Trump indeed was a semi-effective speed bump against the TBTF’s parasitic villainous shsytem, it should be patently obvious to any intellectually honest soul that TPTB were/are scared to death of him, which should dismiss any “butthurt” feelingz endured in face of the fascist totalitarian dystopian future ALL of humanity is enduring/facing…

    Tribal partisan insanity is one of the main reasons I gave up on the We the People, as the (D)+(R) sycophants, toadies, blood lust mercs, quislings & psychopaths CLEARLY are beyond redemption, even on TAE ~ Normalcy has been gutted, there’s no shame & anything goes as a DIRECT result.

    We’re either all Children of the Creative, Loving, Healing Power of the Universe, of we’re not…

    What’s your choice?

    PPC is the only Canadian political party that is against mandates (as far as I know). That being said, they are probably still lying liars who lie like all politicians.

    Libs, PC, NDP, greens, PQ, ALL were pro mandates in the last election.

    So I voted for the PPC on that issue alone.

    I’m not throwing the baby out with the bath water on this, there are bigger fish to fry. When the turd is out there will just be another fecal matter to replace it. PCs are doin a 180 cuz they smell power. Use them to force an election and get a real change cuz the whole thing has been corrupted by the long tentacles of pharma, complete newbies can’t be any worse and might actually be better.

    Btw, the BC CDC stats are def. showin a pandemic of the vaxxed (click on Vax donut charts tab):

    On the Subtlety of Monsters

    Naomi Wolf (former uber Lefty)

    “We have to Talk about Nazism. How Our Times Do Indeed Echo an Earlier Totalitarian Era”

    ” My first post in this three-part series, about how the evil that surrounds us has manifested, was about the elite global technocrat class and their distance from the people whose lives they may crush; I noted too their lack of belief in, or loyalty to, the nation-state. Added to this toxic mix, I argued, is the certainty of this class of people that they know best about your life.

    I made the case in that essay that surrounding us now was a metaphysical, seemingly a Satanic, level of evil.

    I am seeking to explain in this series of essays, how otherwise nice people — and indeed Western people, who grew up with post-Enlightenment norms about human rights and the rule of law — can be doing evil now, with whole hearts.

    I am asking how they can be suppressing the respiration of children intentionally; how they can be consigning friends and colleagues to eat in the street like outcasts, or sending cops to arrest a woman and terrify a nine-year-old child, whose crimes were that they tried to visit the Museum of Natural History in New York without “papers”?
