    Every now and then, The Atlantic manages to come up with a take that doesn’t completely suck. As we see in today’s selection, those instances are becoming increasingly rare.

    That Zakharova speech was a ball-tearer. Incredible and if she has writers they know they nailed it. Whoa. Micro, Macro, political, personal, strategic, anecdotal. Man they got leverage from history.

    I just went through the comment section for the Atlantic article. 108 comments, 107 anti-vax! The pro-vaxxed aren’t even bothering to argue.

    May I suggest that the mainstream media continuing to project that the majority supports the official narratives is nothing more than projection. Support may be in collapse.

    We’ve just had a national vaccination campaign that has exceeded almost all previous efforts in a dramatic fashion,” says Noel Brewer, a psychologist at the University of North Carolina who has been studying decision making about vaccines for more than 20 years, “and people are talking about vaccination as if there’s something fundamentally wrong.”

    And who has been paying this moron for the past 20 years? Bill Gates? Fauci? The Atlantic – yes, I know it is marxist crap – needs to do better than say that its emotions are hurt so we are bad people. Maybe they could do some journalism? You know, find out what really happened, why people are now anti vax, you know, something useful rather than keep on complaining that their feelings are hurt. Fuck your feelings. My aunt has suffered multiple mini-strokes over the past two months and you tell me that you know what you are talking about when you have investigated nothing?

    Exceeded all previous campaigns by killing more people and saving fewer. Even your financer, Billy Boy, has stated that the vaccine “has issues”. The Atlantic is like The Guardian: the fanatic liars have become fanatic killers.

    What happened to FTX? All disappear, all good now?

    Trying to get up to speed on weather balloons. How normal, where, what size, what laws. It seems a bit scattershot at this time, but perhaps balloons over China would NOT be considered or destroyed. Something bugging me is why in this age of satellites would you need anything else? Also, you can just get a plane ticket and drive around America, no one’s stopping you, why do you need a balloon? But that would require knowing so much more about surveillance and spywork. Or relative payload, EMPs, and who’s been hinting to whom.

    Still, the BBee article: “Biden will Shoot Down Balloon as Soon as It’s Done Spying” comes to mind.

    Article on J6, https://amgreatness.com/2023/02/03/theater-of-the-absurd-in-j6-courtrooms/

    Nevermind about the author’s position on this, consider this part: Man serves 80 months for being near pepper spray. Another probably the same for putting his feet on Pelosi’s desk and so on. So here we have non-stop, career-wide, bribery, corruption, perhaps ascending to treason, monthly, in the paper, 20 years running. We have the common “proofs”, Biden, Pelosi, etc never held a job and are now hundred-millionaires matching perfectly their access to power. New corruptions, as their orders to the FBI, their orders to allow, encourage and likely provoke J6 appear weekly. Yet a man who selfied a stunt with a podium, harmless in every sense of the word, gets life in prison (at his age) in the same office as the most corrupt people in America, who walk free and indeed are further empowered. Not even to protect them, as there was nothing to protect, no harm or danger occurred, but merely to associate with them, to dare to be more than distant peasants, to enter their invitation-only restaurants and clubs.

    Juxtaposition. Killing 100M Americans? Get paid an extra $1M for private security. Be in the crowd, but having done nothing, ever? No record, no trespass, no misdemeanor acts at all? 12 months prison, after already having trial delayed 2 years in order to pull election tampering political stunt, as D.C. protects itself from us. It’s so common perhaps it can’t psychologically connect anymore. All men are not created equal. Some animals are more equal than others.

    A shark can swim faster than me, but I can run faster than a shark.
    So in a triathlon, it would all come down to who is the better cyclist.”

    “By promising a EU prospect in violation of its own standard requirements for EU candidates”

    This is a great point. Ukraine is too poor, does not have economic requirements. At war, which is forbidden. And does not have stable borders. Ironically it could if it abandoned Crimea and now the Donbas and signed. But why bother as EU doesn’t care.

    So anyway, WHY add Ukraine at all again? What new actions does this provide for everyone? Because Kiev is the Capitol and will transfer it from Brussels?

    The other irony is that none of the other EU nations meet the requirements either and never have. Don’t we remember Sachs v Italy and Greece where they fabricated every line of the two nations’ budgets to make it look kinda-sorta plausible? How about UK where they arrest journalists and publishers who are covering their well-known international war crimes in their openly illegal war of aggression? Ring a bell?

    Scholz “dismissed “abstruse historical comparisons.”

    It doesn’t matter what YOU think. You’re not important here. What matters is what THEY think. If I take out a vial reading “Danger! Arsenic, Deadly Poison Do Not Consume Under any Circumstances!!!” and put it in my wife’s tea in front of her, it doesn’t matter if it’s ACTUALLY vanilla syrup. What matters is what she THINKS, not me.

    (Boy was that a rough weekend. Some people just can’t take a joke…)

    “Scholz said there was a “consensus” that these weapons will only be used on “Ukrainian territory,”

    Remember when they said that we would only give money? (after giving a few billion, 10 years, and training an entire army of 200,000 Nazis) Then only Humanitarian aid? Then only “Defensive” aid. Then only trucks, gas, air cover, advisory support, and full satellite and all-points intel? Then only give an entire low-orbit satellite system for free? Then only blowing up the pipeline? Then only blowing up the flagship? Then only attacking Russia’s nuclear bases with long-range missiles? Boy those were the days. I guess When Ukraine is going to win out to Vladivostok, 300 miles inland on those nuclear bases really is Ukrainian territory already. Well, they are on “The American Plan”: they looked at us funny, so we had to invade. 1M child deaths was worth it.

    “Scholz said there was a “consensus” that these weapons will only be used on “Ukrainian territory,”

    Or vice-versa. IT’S A MERGER. I don’t know how so many people can remain so hard-headed about it. I guess they want to see their own nation as “wouldn’t do such a thing” are victims to the bad Americans. So why not a bad rogue element? No nation is helping their own people, therefore they must by definition be anti-public rogue elements. So simple.

    Who was the “CIA” in his example? In 1948 they just absorbed the whole Nazi cadre in Paper Clip. Again, they did a Merger, or in this case, as reverse merger. What did you think would happen if you get your direction from such people?

    Scholtz must keep his options open. … Germany must be prepared for a political accommodation with Russia.”

    I don’t see how that can happen at this point. I don’t care what industry Germany has. Russia will not and can not help it. Even taking cars from Germany means you are beholden to a German repair parts supply, and are better off with Russian cars, Chinese, anybody. You cannot accept sales from Germany on anything, for any reason. For that reason, it is pointless to sell Germany any thing for any reason.

    This may not have been true last year, but their continued actions make it clear now.

    ““Russia’s isolation will wreck its status, experts say” – Business Insider.
    ““War against Ukraine has left Russia isolated” –NPR

    It’s impossible to be discredited. Being totally wrong every time is no reason we shouldn’t listen to them and do it!

    How did we get here? What did I say, “The whole POINT of POWER is so you don’t have to take the consequences of your actions”? I don’t know how that trickles down to NPR and us in the street, but it’s my only hypothesis. WE never take the consequences of OUR actions, so we never fear them or even keep track of them in others.

    Experts: Always Wrong, Never in Doubt. Newspapers: It was Printed, Therefore It’s a Lie. I would like this to be an exaggeration again someday.

    ““..The vast majority of the planet wants liberation from the U.S./Western warmongering system that underpins capitalist exploitation that only enriches a global elite..”

    And that ‘Planet’ includes almost everyone in America. So if we don’t want it ourselves, who’s giving the orders? Not Ol’ Joe.

    “EU Sanctions Blocked Nord Stream Repairs – Company (RT) “

    They’re so shocked and appalled at Russia’s attack on their own pipeline that they won’t let them repair it and turn it on. Or was it Space Aliens who did it, because seems no one knows.
    Aliens
    That’s an embarrassment as the Discovery Channel guy is way more credible.

    ““Despite the push for censorship by some politicians and pundits, most Americans still want free-speech protections. It is in our DNA.”

    Yes but they got the other part backwards: THEY don’t give us free speech OR protect it. WE do. We do that by not shutting up and refusing to obey, which generally, we have. The government is US. They are useless chair-polishers who commit crimes on the clock all day.

    Same system: how do we win then? By exposing them and telling the truth, getting it generally consensus accepted, which is going pretty well. Again, Government are irrelevant, corrupt, self-serving, people-attacking boobs. You can’t get anything from them, so probably should shut them off, remove their power back to us. “WE” are not more moral than “ourselves.” If we the People can’t be trusted with power, certainly the government can’t.

    “At least 13 billion COVID shots have been administered—more injections, by a sweeping margin, than there are human beings on the Earth.”

    Yeah, about that: Liberals are bad at math. REALLY bad. Saw the same thing “400M shots in America”. Sir? There are only 300M people in America, we know something near 30% didn’t take one. Many for being too young, the rest by choice. If 400M doses were given, there would be no “Vaccine Deniers” and therefore you won. By 33%!!! Did 400M doses leave the lab and we paid for them? No doubt; it’s always a day for corporate welfare, the merger of corporation and state called “Fascism”. But betting 60% of the adults got one, and 2, 3, and 4 drop to zero on a fast curve.

    So 13B doses for 8B people? When zero got to Africa, elsewhere? Which was its own scandal? I bet they are not recording Russia’s and China’s different-sourced shots. We know none of the migrants at the Mexican border got any. So that means everybody remaining got 6 while we know for a fact half the U.S. didn’t get one?

    I’m not being accurate here, this is ballpark math. Like, did our dinner bill come to $50 dollars, or to $50,000 dollars? Liberals can’t do math even to this level and that is AMAZING. Point it out and they get salty and defensive. “Defend the Narcissists!” should be their battle cry. Now I’m going to have my kids charge these gun turrets over here.

    Americans are obsessing over vaccines; and that fixation has produced its own, pathological anxiety.”

    American media: “We make s—t up!” They LOVE these words. If you prefer corn flakes, YOU ARE OBSESSED!!! Do you worry about what’s in them sometimes? As proven by how you immediately forget and take no action? YOU HAVE PATHOLOGICAL ANXIETY and need to be institutionalized and drugged, voting rights taken away. Not kidding. American Bulls—t. They don’t care if it’s TRUE. They don’t even care if it’s POSSIBLE. We just say s—t, could care less if it’s true. I made it up! Out of my head! Right now.

    …Logic of a 2 year old.

    She’d meet with parents—mostly from low-income Latino families—to discuss the standard vaccination schedule”

    Why did she add this? Because as race is the most important feature of all humans, the only means by which we interact with them, we must track and badge them by race? Not just poking on that. Note, the child vax schedule used to be like 3 or 4 when we were kids, so as parents we think nothing of it. The childhood vax schedule now can be as high as SEVENTY. Eighty-six now as they recommend yearly flu + 4 covid. Let’s see: if I took one every other MONTH, I’d be a teenager before I was done. One a year and I’d be DEAD before they were done.

    Now vaccines MIGHT be safe, sure. But if I take one every month, my risk has risen near 100-fold hasn’t it? YOU created this problem, not us. YOU are the ones being illogical, irrational, and anti-medicine, not us.

    “In Ohio, kids are getting measles .” Yes, vaccinated kids, like those at Harvard. “In New York, polio is back .” Yes, got it from the vaccine. Or the link they gave, which was ONE case. One.

    “in the midst of a pandemic, the mortal risk is even greater.” Yes, the risk was 0.03%. 99.96% chance to be fine. MUCH greater than…well sharknadoes, I guess?

    ““from all of the vaccine misinformation that was circling during the pandemic.” You mean like the CDC who said they were safe, effective, and stopped the spread? Which Ms. Birx said she knew was a complete lie?

    “Americans with false beliefs about vaccines are falling sick and dying stubborn and alone .” False beliefs like “You won’t get Covid” and “it stops the spread”? And alone? Wtf? And not dying nearly as fast as the vaccinated have.

    “No crunching of the numbers can excuse the spread of vaccine misinformation, or suggest that those who peddle it are anything but a hateful scourge on individuals and a threat to public health.”

    Yes, the CDC, WHO, Dr. Birx etc were totally wrong, admitted liars, and certainly and provably are a hateful scourge and a threat, thanks for pointing it out again.

    Insert:[ Read: How many Republicans died because the GOP turned against vaccines?”

    Um, it was their Republican President who was FOR the vaccines and still is? The GOP is officially pro-vaccine? Older people – the GOP – were vaccinated at a far HIGHER rate, while young people and minorities – the DNC – refused? How can you hate facts so much?

    “perhaps it makes more sense to err on the side of freaking out.” Yes, good sense always = freaking out. If we just did Math for Liberals, this is “Logic for Liberals”. Sense and reason always = and are replaced by, panic, fear, obsession, accusation, and emotion. Wtf?

    “Larson said, every effort should be taken to build confidence, no matter what.” And “The ends justify the means.” That’s morality! We start from the conclusion, and work back to the evidence. Well, at least he openly admits it. “A) I am not a Scientist. B)I also have no morality whatsoever! In fact, I’d kill you for a nickel and sleep like a baby! I already have!

    A commenter adds: “It would take 253 factories making the covid shot 24 hours a day non stop, a full year to produce just under 8 billion doses of the shot. Now add on top of the first shot and additional shot plus a first booster. If I remember correctly they are currently on booster 2. Most factories didn’t start full production of the shots until mid to late 2021. They don’t have 253 factories producing the shots. Let that math sink in.”

    Ran Prieur, after how we can’t have “AI” if we don’t know what “I”, “Intelligence” is: “Could [dolphins] develop human-level abilities to live mentally in elaborate worlds of abstraction and imagination? Probably, but they have no reason to, because it’s so much fun being a dolphin.

    I think what makes humans special is creating our own environment. And this goes hand in hand with our isolation, our separateness from the rest of the living universe. Why did our ancestors do cave paintings? Because they were big-brained animals stuck in a cave all winter, and they got bored looking at a blank wall. And since then, the better we get at creating our own environments, the more time we spend in them, the more separate we get, and the more reason we have to be even more inventive.”

    When we talk about finding “intelligent” life on other planets, this is what we mean: another creature that has explored separateness and self-created environments in the same way that we have. If we weren’t looking for something so specific, we would be trying harder to talk to large-brained animals on our own planet.

    That is, just as it’s 1,000x easier to colonize Antarctica or the Ocean than Mars, but we ignore them, we have 1,000 forms of “Intelligent” life right here, most of which can communicate with us, but “we” ignore them. That is to say, some people do, but I don’t, so who cares what they do? “Other people” are stupid more or less all the time. YOU do. Who cares what THEY do. YOU do the “right thing”. If enough of us do the “Right thing” we will have a “right culture.” Like the Buddhist 8 fold path.

    Humans are building creatures. Like ants. It’s not that unusual. This is our way, and we have a right to it. The problem is when smart people get lost in a delusion of separation and begin to aggrandize themselves, thinking we are NOT animals, and NOT Nature when we clearly are because what else would we be? I was born an animal of an animal. I was raised here under the sky and weather eating other plants and animals. I cannot NOT be an animal, but at the very least I can not delude myself about it. Because I am also a spirit of an animal at a much more fundamental level.

    Kaiser Permanente is both an insurance company and a healthcare provider company. It negotiates with employers once a year to set its health insurance rates. I wonder if Kaiser started getting worried at the amount of excess illness it was seeing. Once people are too sick to work, they lose their health insurance. But what if they are somewhat sick, but keep working? What if their chronic, mystery illnesses consume a larger amount of medical care than Kaiser bargained for? Kaiser might be willing to do a little truth-telling as it tries to calculate who is going to pay for this unexpected hit, which presumably did not stop in 2021 but continues apace.

    However, some governments appear to maintain excellent data tracking “the kill”. Here is an example sent to me by a colleague form Australia, of an online database with beautiful graphing tools (this is for New South Wales). NSW includes Sydney, it’s population is ~8 million (of Australia’s total of about 25M) and was founded by the British as a penal colony. Perhaps that last factoid is why they are so unabashedly clear in reporting the results of their mass injury/murder campaign? Or maybe they simply have good database skills available.

    Thank you to Alex Berenson for calling attention to this preprint, which is rather devastating regarding covid vaccine efficacy. This paper has several strengths: 1) it is large – 50,000 people; 2) reputable organization with no apparent bias; 3) clear and simple methodology. Finally, its results demonstrate a “dose-response” relationship.

    The problem is that this relationship is exactly the opposite of what it should be:

    2) @jb-hb: thanks for the exposition on Derrick Jensenism. I really did read all of everybody’s comments from the past couple of days yesterday, having gotten a setback when our electricity went out from all of the ice on trees and lines in Austin. We are in Yoakum since Friday afternoon, where rural electric is more-reliable than urban electric, same as it was for that Big Freeze 2 years ago.

    3) False Consciousness: Consciousness is not a word or a concept. Our true and not-true ideas of everything are all jumbled up together, which is difficult. We are fed societal-control-narratives, which are meant to work instead of reality. That system of societal control-narratives “working” is pretty dysfunctional, so people have to look for something, like TRUTH, as a desperate backup plan. Even a few workable facts would suffice some days. “Truth” is a pretty high bar. Searching for Truth takes a lot of time and effort, but, when systems break down, those who have rigorously sought the truth as a long-term habit are better prepared to deal with the Reality of a broken life-support system.

    Abstract
    The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic. This study evaluated the potential efficacy of Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgY) as a neutralizing agent against the SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti-spike-S1 IgYs on the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the binding of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2. Our results show that the anti-Spike-S1 IgYs showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants, and even SARS-CoV in vitro. It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.

    Territory of Ukraine 1991
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine
    With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine became an independent state, formalised with a referendum in December 1991. On 21 January 1990, over 300,000 Ukrainians[46] organized a human chain for Ukrainian independence between Kyiv and Lviv. Ukraine officially declared itself an independent country on 24 August 1991, when the communist Supreme Soviet (parliament) of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of USSR and only the laws of the Ukrainian SSR, de facto declaring Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. On 1 December, voters approved a referendum formalizing independence from the Soviet Union. Over 90% of Ukrainian citizens voted for independence, with majorities in every region, including 56% in Crimea. The Soviet Union formally ceased to exist on 26 December, when the presidents of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia (the founding members of the USSR) met in Białowieża Forest to formally dissolve the Union in accordance with the Soviet Constitution. With this, Ukraine’s independence was formalized de jure and recognized by the international community.

    Also on 1 December 1991, Ukrainian voters in their first presidential election elected Leonid Kravchuk.[47]

    Post# 128272 it would appear on further digging the eggs in question came from vaxxed chickens.

    Abstract
    Aims: COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a public health crisis worldwide. In this study, we aimed at demonstrating the neutralizing potential of the IgY produced after immunizing chicken with a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 subunit.

    Methods and results: E. coli BL21 carrying plasmid pET28a-S1 was induced with IPTG for the expression of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein. The recombinant His-tagged S1 was purified and verified by SDS-PAGE, Western blot and biolayer interferometry (BLI) assay. Then S1 protein emulsified with Freund’s adjuvant was used to immunize layer chickens. Specific IgY against S1 (S1-IgY) produced from egg yolks of these chickens exhibited a high titer (1:25,600) and a strong binding affinity to S1 (KD = 318 nmol L-1 ). The neutralizing ability of S1-IgY was quantified by a SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus-based neutralization assay with an IC50 value of 0.99 mg ml-1 . In addition, S1-IgY exhibited a strong ability in blocking the binding of SARS-CoV-2 S1 to hACE2, and it could partially compete with hACE2 for the binding sites on S1 by BLI assays.

    Conclusions: We demonstrated here that after immunization of chickens with our recombinant S1 protein, IgY neutralizing antibodies were generated against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 subunit; therefore, showing the potential use of IgY to block the entry of this virus.

    Significance and impact of the study: IgY targeting S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 could be a promising candidate for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment of COVID-19. Administration of IgY-based oral preparation, oral or nasal spray may have profound implications for blocking SARS-CoV-2.

    If I was a big hospital network that sets prices for treatments, and was also an insurance company that decided what price it will pay to the hospital and what premiums to charge my insurance customers for that protection, then I think I could make a whole lot of money for awhile.

    The same trick that I just quipped to @Red can be applied in many other industries. Defense, for example. I start the wars that require expensive armies and weapons to be purchased from me at an enormous profit, AND I set the tax rates extracted from the “protected” citizens to pay for all those armies/weapons. Wham, bam, thankyou ma’am.

    Want some other examples where the same, identifiable, individual people & gangs control BOTH of the two moving parts in such a money machine?

    Here’s a short list : every major institutionalized endeavor on the planet from soup to nuts. Food, energy, health, security, education, Communications, etc, etc. ad infinitum.

    No great stretch of the imagination is required to see that this exactly what happened to almost the whole planet. When a single power controls the production of a necessity, the price of the necessity, as well as control the identity of who will receive the item and who will pay it . . . . then the game is over.

    It was not until that nearly hegemonic Cabal tried to consolidate it’s power into ONE central hub that there was any meaningful push-back anywhere. Lucky for us that the push-back was enough to beat back the attempt THIS time.

    How many of us as kids playing Monopoly realized at the time that the game could be so deadly.

    That balloon story was just too weird, right?

    That’s what I think, too.

    Too weird. From startling start to anticlimactic brushing into the memory hole. TOO weird.

    No matter how you parse the possibilities the story comes up BULLSHIT every time. Even the “a distraction too boring to bother with” angle doesn’t wash as things now stand.

    Somethin’s up, boys and girls. (pun unintentional. Don’t know how I missed it)

    Red posted (prev thread):

    In his book Crowds and Power, written in 1960, Nobel laureate Elias Canetti argues that fear leads people to devolve into pack behavior. Fear of the virus did just that, leading people to set aside their basic humanity and common sense.

    Remember the mother who put her 13-year-old son in the trunk of her car? The boy had tested positive for the virus and she was taking him for additional testing. To protect herself from exposure, she had him lie in the trunk while she drove him to the testing site. (…) ..

    Red then goes on to mention M. Desmet and ‘mass formation’ (a trad. term in psychiatry) and links to a piece by the Brownstone Institute, where one can read:

    In essence, Desmet was saying: “This virus is a nasty piece of work and the world has gone mad”

    Debt Rattle February 4 2023

    Red’s post was v. interesting to me because I have been thinking about similar, some thoughts.

    Cannetti deserves reading +++, he describes different types of ‘crowd’ and ‘propagation of ideas’ / ‘facts’ (my words.)

    One important function of ‘crowd’ action is to preserve and defend crowd members, it is not just crazy hysteria, see for ex. actions in an earthquake, an avalanche (sudden events, but humans as social-pack acting animals is inherent, the aim is to save as many as poss, with minimal sacrifice..) More could be said about crowds, or ‘other’ cohesive groups of humans.

    The behavior of individuals in a top-down repressive authorit. scheme varies *extremely* as we all know.

    With Covid, I have seen, a Resto owner refusing to close and welcoming COV-pos ppl, ppl without a ‘pass’, etc. By contrast, a shop refusing entry to those who had no pass, were not wearing a mask, did not ostensibly disinfect hands and genuflect to the owner..

    In WW2, some ppl sheltered Jews in their cellar, and others denounced Jews to the Nazis. (Netherlands, France… )

    Desmet and the like never question, analyze, where the fear came from in the first place, heh.

    Yesterday, 2 examples of systems that are stumbling:

    (1) I was working on my business’s taxes. The software says that I need to print, sign, and import a document. It gives NO instructions on how to do this. Years ago, software instructions were in an included help file. There was a cumbersome index and rudimentary search function — but, typically, all capabilities of the software were in there. Today there is no built-in help file, only a link to a website. The website has neither a search box nor an index — all it has are a list of about 10 FAQs and a button at the bottom to “load more.” So…I am expected to continually “load more” and hope my question is “frequent” enough? No chat support; no email support. So I call. The phone is answered by an AI. The AI understands when I speak numbers, but struggles to capture numbers when entered in the handset. I ask for “software support.” The AI starts trying to find my account, asking for my phone number. I have a rudimentary account with this company only — from registering the software purchase. When the AI starts asking for my birthdate and last 4 digits of my SSN, I know that it has misunderstood my request, because I have never given the company this information. I hung up and tried again, but the AI sends me to the same place. Eventually, I am brought to a real person, who insists on obtaining the same personal information to “pull up my account.” I balked, “I need support for software,” I explained. But the “real person” insists on behaving just like an AI, so I fork over the data. The “real person” finally wakes up from her employer-mandated AI trance when she realizes that an account in her department doesn’t exist with the data I provided. Suddenly, she really *hears* me when I explain that I want support for business software, and points out to me that I’ve been routed to the wrong department. (No, really!?) She then routed my call to the correct department. A genial man answered that call and was rapidly able to direct me to the correct area of the program to upload the document. I can’t help but wonder….would it not have been more convenient to have just included a comprehensive help file? Or at least have a knowledge base online that was searchable?

    (2) I received a card from the AZ Secretary of State that it is time to renew my business’s trade name, which expires in about 2 months. (The card is still labeled for SOS Katie Hobbs.). I proceeded to the correct website — it has been possible to do this online for several years now. The website has messages to please excuse them as they transition to the new SOS. There is a new procedure. An account with the new “eAZ” is required. I began the process of creating an account, discovering that I must fork over my AZ drivers license number, last 4 of SSN, verify my email address with a texted code, and verify my phone number via text or robocall. (I was surprised that they weren’t insisting that I upload a photo of my DL….). I think about my retired-age friends, and how they would struggle mightily to complete these tasks, and think about the message on the main AZSOS site that states that no filings on paper are accepted, and in-person services are only available for Apostilles. (That was a new word for me – I had to look it up.). I arrived in the account. There are six buttons of possible activities. One is labeled for “registering new trade names only.” There is nothing for renewal. I can’t look up my current trade name, claiming it, and renewing it. I accessed chat (not that I expected a live response on a Saturday) and plugged in “renew trade name.” I can tell from the response of the chatbot that it has absolutely no programming with the word “renew” — it was at a complete loss. I noticed that the account has a “message center” and I clicked the link. The message center has an empty inbox only — with no way to *send* a message. There was no point in calling in on a Saturday. I made my way back to the main AZSOS page, found a contact form, and filled it out. So, let’s get this straight: my trade name expires in 60 days, the ONLY way to renew it is online, and the online account has no means of accomplishing this task. I guess the state no longer cares whether or not I dot my i’s and cross my t’s in this manner? My business’s financial institution won’t check to see whether or not the trade name is active with the state, but an expired trade name would prevent me from opening an account with a new financial institution. It used to be that new systems were tested out before they were foisted on the public…I suppose that has become so passe’.

    DBS at 128278: What you are describing here is called “Control Fraud Racketeering.” It is the universal fundamental governance-strategy and tactic od the corporatized neo-fascist neo-feudal rule of the Owners and their minions. I describe CFR and its context at length here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1eteywgj1qicym/CFR%2C%20CSE%2C%20%26%20PC.docx?dl=0
    And many others have recognized and explored this recognized pattern online. Look it up, folks; you too will recognize it.
    And here is an exploration of one application, in the Cannabis “scene” in California:

    U2 versus the totalitarian, fascist, police state. Nice. But the totalitarian, fascist, police state won, of course.

    It’s nice to know that the days of the totalitarian fascist police state are numbered, thanks to Putin and friends.

    The death throes of the totalitarian, fascist police state(s) are going to be horrific, and millions of innocent people are going to suffer even more than they already have, of course.

    There is a kind of sick inevitability about it all: US of A, established via violence gets terminated via violence.

    How many people has the totalitarian, fascist police state of the US of A poisoned, impoverished and murdered so far? 500 million? 1,000 million? 1.500 million? 5 billion? We’ll never know.

    Let’s not blame Airstrip Two entirely though, since it was taught how to steal, poison, murder, impoverish and destroy by Airstrip One. And Airstrip One is right in there on the Eastern Front, poking at The Bear with everything it has, which isn’t much these days.

    Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

    An American friend told me how, in the 1960s, the thugs hired by the fascists to eliminate dissent corralled protesters by parking buses around them, they sealed the exits, and then went in with the batons, smashing into spines and skull with gay abandon. Actually killing people with guns out in the open got a bad name after university students were murdered by state thugs ‘in the name of protecting ‘freedom and democracy’. A bit like blowing up hundreds of a Vietnamese villages to ‘save the inhabitants;.

    The Scorpion had her gang of thugs attack peaceful protesters when turning fire hoses on them failed to discourage them, after they had occupied the grounds of the scorpion nest in Wellington.

    The Crazy Chipmunk ‘Chippy’, Chris Hopkins, obviously has not had the years of training in sociopathy that The Scorpion had before being installed as Big Brother’s murderous, deceitful, WEF saboteur, and is attempting to play the ‘nice lad makes good’ card for the moment. Chippy is obviously just a short-term fill-in, a bit like the ‘Cheese Lady’ of Downing Street. Just has to carry the can for LINO until the next WEF saboteur can be installed.

    With The Scorpion off the scene, things might be a little calmer this Waitangi Day, Waitangi being a celebration of the defeat of the indigenous people of Aotearoa by The Empire of Lies and a fake celebration of their culture, being a national holiday, because The Empire of Lies Airstrip Five sector is so ‘kind’ to its debt-slaves and wage-slaves.

    I’m sure it will only take a little more murder and impoverishment of the Proles by Big Brother to trigger a revolution, and then Big Brother will have the perfect pretext for incarcerating people and murdering them by the thousand.

    Well at least you didn’t kill your Grandma…

    How many Grandparents were taken out by the Bio created Viral weapon? How many by the “Vax” ?
    How many by ventilators and incubation homes?

    Brave Brave Sir-Miss Robin has offered to take care of all the Vax injured children, orphaned by their dead vax injured parents who forced their children to get vaxd. Oh how Virtue signalling of the Vax apologist. Brave Brave Miss Robin…

    I have multiple Vax injured friends, and I’m slowly hearing about friends who died from the vax cancer implosion. Watching another round of Vaxd getting Cvd for their 3rd or 4th time…. Guess who’s working for them while they are sick? Pure blood me…

    The vax cult pushers get exactly what they deserve. Fuck around and find out. It’s one thing to make your own personal health decisions, another to force inject those who choose their own path for health, vitality and natural immunity.

    The sheep cult need to be bitch slapped back to reality… if their own deaths is what it takes then so be it. You can’t un-inject your ignorant choices- f’n deal with it. Obey this vax cult scum.

    Do no harm

    My body my choice

    Informed consent

    The right to decline medical treatment

    I watched the Virtue signalling Vax Sheep wave their papers high in the air…. “sorry you can’t enter, you’re not fully Vaxd” Jokes on you tyrannical fuckers.

    Dr D said

    Man serves 80 months for being near pepper spray. Another probably the same for putting his feet on Pelosi’s desk and so on. So here we have non-stop, career-wide, bribery, corruption, perhaps ascending to treason, monthly, in the paper, 20 years running.

    What is disturbing here is that the criminals are now applying their standards to people who are not involved in their business. The actions they take are very common, in fact a little lightweight. In China, when Xi first came to power, he had allot of his political enemies executed, the excuse being that they were corrupt. Of course, the billionaire Xi is not corrupt, he earned his money by slaving away in factories every day \s. That this dog eat dog attitude is being applied to ordinary citizens is very disturbing but again reveals just how corrupt the US system has become, it is now worse than China.

    Alexander Carpenter. Thank you for sharing your detailed paper about Control Fraud Racketeering (CFR). I find your research and conclusions compelling, and will study much and pass along to educated and open-minded friends.

    I agree with your anti-CFR “California Cannabis Manifesto: Do It Right This Time.” I wish there were more sanity in the U.S. about this extremely useful natural herb, which should be very cheap and easily available to adults. Cheers!

    If you wish to share any more of your writings, I would appreciate reading what you have to say. Cheers!
