    If Denninger’s point – In addition eradication was always doomed to fail because it has animal reservoirs, specifically at least cats is true then why the !%&*! are we still in lockdowns in Oz – we are in our 5th in Melbourne and it has just been extended.
    Apparently landscaping (my job) is dangerous so I am out of work now as being outside in the open air is scientifically proven to infect and kill everyone but if you are tiling a bathroom with two others for 8 hours you are safe as houses. As Dr D. says #Science™

    Dr. Scott Gottlieb warned in an interview… “And for most people who get this delta variant, it’s going to be the most serious virus that they get in their lifetime ….”

    Two paragraphs later, “He [Gottlieb] estimated that health officials know about only one out of 10 or 20 cases because some of those infected have mild cases and testing is not widespread.”

    Make up your mind already. It’s either a very serious illness for most people, or it’s so mild only 5%-10% know they have it without testing. How can anyone believe any of this anymore?

    A term I had not heard until today, “the willingly unvaccinated” from this article in the New Yorker:
    Treating the Unvaccinated

    “The most striking feature of this wave is that “they’re all young,” Edwards said. “I can’t remember treating a single older COVID patient in the past couple months. It feels like they either got it, and they’re gone, or they got vaccinated, and they’re safe.””..
    ..”“I try not to feel angry, but it’s hard,” he said. “I try to be fair. I know I’m a well-off white doctor who understands science and medicine. The vaccine came to my place of work and I just rolled up my sleeve. I get that it’s harder for other people. But at this point it’s, like, C’mon, man, this is the most important thing you can do for your health.”

    Kunstler: “Vaccine disinformation is killing people, Mr. “B” warned last week.”

    Indeed it is. Almost 12,000 deaths following vaccination that we know of so far. That “safe and effective vaccine” disinformation needs to be shut down pronto.

    As for the article in The New Yorker linked by AG that emphasizes Utah, CV deaths are not at all up appreciably from June in that state. I’m really starting to think they’re just making this shit up entirely, and of course brainwashed PMC types are falling for it hook, line, and sinker. This is the first time in my adult life that I’m actually very glad that I’m the social hermit that I am.

    Garden view from under pecan tree included.

    Many of us can see that we are being treated to false emergency narratives to make us comply with the established power order, and give up our rights, as established by existing laws. It is hard to see why, to see the real emergency, perhaps the real emergency is being hidden more effectively than the artificial emergencies are being promulgated. Not a bad bet, and we might even be complicit in obscuring the real emergency, ourselves.​
    ​ I propose that the real emergency is that global growth economy has already ended, and those who are aware of that are making feverish preparations for the day that the world realizes it, and the distribution systems based upon growth-economy become perplexed and dysfunctional.
    Expect the mandates of command-economy.​ How will this play out?

    ​That is absolutely not a bug, and look, YOU are the feature! You will be happy to cooperate, we assume…​
    ​ ​An Israeli company’s spyware was used in attempted and successful hacks of 37 smartphones belonging to journalists, government officials and human rights activists around the world, according to an investigation by 17 media organizations, published on July 18th…
    ​ ​The investigation highlights widespread and continuing abuse of NSO’s hacking spyware called ‘Pegasus’ which the company confirms is only intended for use against terrorist groups, drug and human traffickers, and criminals.
    ​ ​Pegasus is a very advanced malware that infects iOS and Android devices to allow operators of the spyware to copy messages, photos, calls and other data, including secretly activate microphones and cameras.
    Based on the investigation, the leak contains a list of 50,000 phone numbers that have been identified as those of people of interest by clients of NSO since 2016.
    T​he list includes many close family members of one country’s ruler, suggesting he might have instructed the country’s intelligence agencies to explore the possibility of tracking and spying on their own relatives.

    ​They will get to 100% Facebook-user-vaccine-acceptance on their own schedule, if you don’t mind…​ (Uh, Joe, what about the vaccine-death pandemic?)
    On Friday, Biden tore into social media platforms such as Facebook, accusing them of “killing people” by not cracking down on non-conventional opinions about vaccination fervently enough.
    “They’re killing people… Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people,” the US president said.
    Dismissing the allegation, Rosen accused Biden of essentially making Facebook a scapegoat for his administration’s failure to reach its self-imposed goal of having 70% Americans vaccinated by July 4.
    “President Biden’s goal was for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated by July 4. Facebook is not the reason this goal was missed,” Rosen said, arguing that figures “tell a very different story to the one promoted by the administration.”

    Since you missed the story about vaccine-deaths, Mr. President, I’ll help out. (Some folks even think this count is a lowball.)

    So…BoJo the Clown not doing too well. Maskless Million Man Mobs keep re-forming in London chanting for his arrest.

    Had a chance to do something. Failed in every way. This is when they recruit and install a fake outsider. Bye-bye BoJo.

    Back home, media failed in every way, but the important part is ratings. Nobody’s watching NBC, CNN, all the institutions that are the sole remaining power of the Derp State 100% owned. Now that’s a problem and for example we here are still referring to these irrelevant boobs that no one watches in or order to respond to them, as if they’re any more relevant than your drunk uncle coming home from rehab. They’re not. They have smaller viewership than any third Jimmy Dore or Diamond and Silk on the internet. (No offense to above). Here’s the point though: like psychos yesterday, they believe THEY give the people their opinions, a reality sadly more true than you’d hope. And if the minions are not obeying ME, they must be obeying THEM, so I need to go get “them”. Okay, fine. Here’s their problem: there is no “THEM”. They know we’re not listening to the media, experts, and derp narrative, but now have no idea who we ARE listening to, what we ARE thinking. Yes, they’re psychotic and respond to a lot of things that aren’t there. But this lack of intel and control is their true nightmare. You can’t respond to what you can’t see. We’re OUT OF CONTROL!!! Dogs and Cats living together!

    What ARE “we” thinking anymore? I ask in earnest. It’s not unified, it’s atomized. So how do you use a single star-destroyer cannon on a mob of Zulu warriors? Their tools are acutely wrong for the job. How are you going to put down a resistance that’s everywhere? Arrest all 200 million citizen skeptics? (Yes, they’re trying that right now with 8 months prison for tresspass).

    As yesterday, that goes with their side too. There are all kinds in “the elite”. I don’t mean to flatten their side as it IS important the various factions: Plantation owners, paid people, go-alongs, true believers, slow-actors, fast-actors, visible, generational, and all that matters. But to me it’s pretty clear that the vax push is along one line as the only explanation. Nothing else makes sense, as Sherlock Holmes says, when you’ve eliminated the possibilities, whatever remains, however strange and unlikely must be true. And yes, disease made up and solution is known dangerous is the only conclusion from the evidence so far. Which means they as individuals are…?

    I remember the beginning here and the violent, out-of-character push, seeming unbacked by any evidence coming in. Made quite a pest of myself because I’m shouting, “There’s something over here! Alarm, this is all wrong!” It was really hard. But at the same time, very easy. That was the evidence. What am I going to do, lie about it to be popular? Why annoy one person at a time when you can offend everyone at once? It’s your job as a human to tell the truth; we can figure out what it means later. Again, glad I did, however failing, as buying in would make reversing that much harder — as our social engineers counted on. Now The Narrative™ makes no sense at all, anywhere, yet people won’t let it go. Have the vaccine? Get Covid anyway, AFTER saying you’ll laugh and not come to the funeral of your unvaxxed friends. Or Vaccines DO work, then it must be the PCR tests don’t work: Okay, great! Let’s admit that it was all fabricated from fake tests and numbers. Vax and Tests work? Then clearly doctors don’t. Medicine has failed as you did everything right and still got it. Masks, all the other stuff proven not to work. …Or it was all a lie, masks, lockdowns, severity, tests, AND vaccines. AND media. AND government. AND your family. AND…

    Instead, presently, the PCR test people are in-fighting with the vaccine people (narrative) who are fighting with the political (Newsome) narrative, and the Trump narrative of every person dying is his fault is the opposite of the Cuomo narrative where every person dying proves his innocence, when according to NY’s numbers, they both DID die a lotta-lotta, and DIDN’T die a lotta-lotta, which would prove Covid isn’t dangerous. Which it is — super dangerous — but no one died, so don’t arrest me.

    So their entire system is dissolving everywhere. …Reminding ours, the peoples’, is too. So what happens when “no one’s in control”? According to them, the criminal weirdos, they run down the street screaming and smashing things like in “The Day Before the Day After Tomorrow”. Riots, attacks in the streets, they light mailboxes on fire. …Yet it never happens. It’s a made-up cartoon. Power goes out to entire Northeast 2003, people walk home on the Brooklyn Bridge and buy ice cream on the way, before it melts. Oh noes! Our riot didn’t go off! Peoplez iz peoplez. Instead: essentially, de-centralization. Power returns FROM the government and corporations, TO the people. You. And you get up and go to work just like now. Which Automatic Earth said all along, but more on the oil/economy point of view. …If this-all IS indeed a response to failing oil/energy, or oil of a certain type.

    Right on Schedule. “Meet the New World Currency, 2018”, symbol gold “Ǿ” But they blew it, protected idiot sons that they are. We ain’t doing the Great Reset. We’re going “Into the Great Wide Open.”

    They blew it? Market AND Treasuries are cracking hard right now.

    Speaking of broken narratives: “Half Million Chinese Sign Letter Demanding WHO Probe US Fort Detrick Lab”

    I’m for it. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. But more like, China, which is really a merger with our (de nom) “Socialist” billionaire Fauccist-merger overlords, helped get this out. Somewhere. Chapel Hill? Once the White Hats realized ChinaCorp did this, what to do? Little late to put it back. Say “Gates and Soros had a love-child with Klaus and Xi”? You sound like a nut (although true) and not helpful/practical. How about taking same/similar thing, drop a whopping big pack of it in downtown Wuhan, 3 meters from the lab, then attack the city with 5G? Then ask for $15 Trillion in ransom/reparations? Now you’re talking. …Okay, now you understand why that would happen, in a fake world, the fake story is better than the real one. But I can only actually want the truth. If anybody else wants it, we’re fine and can get on track. But if they want half-truths like now, maybe it’s better to choose something practical instead, which it seems they have.

    “Hospitalisation Data Not a Reason to Doubt the Vaccine (Moore)”

    “Facts are no reason to doubt” What could you possibly add to a headline like that? Vaccines don’t work? No: Logic and Brains don’t work.

    “You either had Covid now or will get it, like it or not.” –Denninger

    Just what I said in Jan 20, so therefore “Lockdowns don’t work”. They didn’t as any idiot assembling their own data would see. So, SO easy to see, and saving what 200% increase in child suicide? He’s right about the lies though. …Lying there is no surface contamination, no non-symptom transmission.

    “Antibodies from Covid Infection Last at Least Nine Months (F.)”

    Shocked they could even get this crumb to the top, but again: COVID’s closest relative, SARS, has full immunity 10 YEARS later and counting. Why not lead with that? And according to Vax companies, their shot doesn’t last 12 weeks. You need a booster, for 100 shots or twice a year until you die. Q: is that normally what we define as a “vaccine”? Coz it sure seems like not-vaccine in every possible way.

    “Masks Are Just “Comfort Blankets” (SN)” Shots don’t work? Masks don’t work either. As ALL of their data said in ’20, and everyone would get it. You could either kill MORE people for no reason with masks and lockdowns, or just kill the lesser amount. Correct. Lockdowns were more a failure than not bothering at all, and not just for the economy.

    “The Shadow State: Corporations As Surrogates For Government Action (Turley)”

    Not very shadowy. Complete merger. Proud and advertised nightly on TV.

    “and to the farmers, fishers, ranchers, and food workers”

    Only thanks to Rockefeller market-rigging that’s held food prices artificially low for decades preventing all market and social response. Remember Mellencamp sang about this in 1980? Yeah, 40 years of you thieving jokers. That long. Problem with market rigging, like London Gold Pool, or Soviet subsidies, is that one day it vanishes all at once. Then there’s no backup system, and you suddenly need to go 0 to million-mph on day one. Wiemar. Everyone dies in the Crack-up Transition, as Kunstler said, the re-establishment of fair pricing. That’s happening right now as all our systems break. But once you’ve robbed the bank for 40 years, the only solution is to burn it down and hide the crime.

    “Floods Close Rail Lines in Europe for Months or Longer”

    Apparently there is some stress with the Greenies right now. They feel the Green-at-all-costs fundamentalism has led to not dredging German rivers and other measures, leading to Belgium being destroyed downstream. Perhaps someone in Europe can add more.

    “Right now I feel like I almost want to go take a plane to the East Coast and punch somebody at The New Yorker, as much as I know that going around punching people really doesn’t help anything at all.”

    Bipolar logic we humans use: violence is all bad or allgood. We wouldn’t last long without violence. Life is critters slaughtering critters and consuming them. Violence is not “the answer” nor is pacifism. But that’s regarding external matters. Internally, one’s personal emotional ecology may be horribly abused by violence that is both necessary and just. There is no such thing as “peace” in the world, not is “war” something that stops. It just migrates as do times of relative security.

    We’ll remain passive until we can’t stand it, then we’ll become raving lunatic butchers. It’s what we do.

    Putin understands the algebra of violence for keeping war as we know it “over there”. He also understands the wisdom of not exporting violence abroad until absolutely necessary, and then pounding their head on the curb with a baseball bat until the oozing stops.

    Dr. D shares his soul, seems to me. Such action is socially risky. On a good day, you’re a herfo; on a bad day, you’re a louse. The trick is to accept that this is so along with accepting that many people can’t seem to tell the difference and punish you for your best and reward you for your worst.

    To reveal oneself, warts and all, is perhaps the greatest gift, and therefore woefully underappreciated.

    Here we all are, essentially clueless, doing our best or worst, never really knowing why.

    Eh ey, eh ey

    Well it gets you down but, it don’t make it right
    I made it my personal intervention
    What a waste of time, time, time, time, time
    Eh eh eh eh ey, eh eh eh eh ey, eh eh eh eh ey
    I got a feeling I, I can’t get over
    Maybe all we had has always been right
    I think of all the love you gain when you send it over

    @ Raúl Ilargi Meijer
    A great collection of articles demonstrating,
    “A divided America”

    There are lots of different conflicting.
    Definition:
    A conflict is a struggle between people which may be physical, or between conflicting ideas. The word comes from Latin conflingere Conflingere means to come together for a battle. … Conflicts arise because there are needs, values or ideas that are seen to be different, and there is no means to reconcile the dispute.

    Let’s call it what it is .
    “America at war”

    War – organised and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors – is characterised by extreme violence, social disruption, and economic destruction.[1][2]
    War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence or intervention.
    ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_war )

    All “wars” consume more energy than rewards.
