Henri Matisse Le Bonheur de Vivre 1906 • Russian Data Reveals Diabetics Ten Times More Likely To Catch COVID19 (RT) • Kremlin Says US Elections
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 24 2020]To ‘Save’ People From COVID, Puerto Rico Shuts Down 911 Call-Centers”
Helping!! Statistics don’t lie: all deaths are Covid deaths. There are no heart attacks, influenza, even accidents, poison and suicides! So why have 911?
“The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed Wednesday that young adults aged 25-44 years saw the largest increase in “excess” deaths from previous years, a stunning 26.5% jump. …100,947 excess deaths…“
With a 99.997% survival, this is definitively not Covid. Roughly speaking, it is murder. Man 1 perhaps. But since Fauci feels NY was the best state of all – the state of ~6,000 nursing home murders, clearly this is a GOOD thing.
“Critics roundly mocked President Donald Trump early in the pandemic for warning about excess deaths of despair under lockdown. Public health experts and others are now increasingly calling for an end to heavy-handed measures, citing a growing body of evidence that such policies are having drastic negative impacts on Americans’ physical and mental health.” http://www.scoopyweb.com/2020/10/new-cdc-numbers-show-lockdowns-deadly.html
Huh. A thing so obvious, even idiots on the internet can predict it in the first 60 seconds. But so common sense international doctors and mathematicians cannot.
If even Cheeto can see this, just imagine how dumb Fauci, Birx, and Taleb must be. Or us if we continue to support it.
For fun, from that link: “LA Times Reports COVID-19 ‘Outbreak’ At John MacArthur’s Church. City: 3 Confirmed Cases”
THREE whole cases? Spike!!! With a 99.97% recovery rate? Shut it down!!! Mask between bites! Oh wait, this is in a state where we ALREADY mask between bites, it didn’t do a thing, and Newsom says he is coming to your house on Thanksgiving and arresting you if a) you don’t mask with your own family or b) squeal on your family and report them to the secret-police-who-enforce-nonlaws using no due process.
America! Land of the Free, home of the brave. Truly a shining example to all nations about how to end all human rights and reverse the Enlightenment. Gotta cure death before we reinstate human rights and die process. Might be a while.
“nobody lost their health insurance plans when Obamacare was fully implemented,”
Helping!!! We had health care that needed mild adjustment in 1990, the year the government started getting involved and “helping” healthcare, at the direct behest of health insurance lobbyists. Guess what happened next, I’m so surprised. Anyway, THEY didn’t cancel your insurance – Perish the thought! – no, they just raised your premium to $2,300. A MONTH. Not my fault you’re not in government and get 100% insulated from our own laws with the special carve-out for the insiders. Don’t be a peasant next time. Guess you should have been born a Lord.
“This is also why they complain in advance about Trump not doing a peaceful transition.”
It is pretty hard to take. But that’s narcissistic sociopaths for you, and why they should be in mental institutions. Anything for themselves, anything for power, but the usual M.O. is that they’re victims of baseless attacks that just happen to be the exact same thing they were doing. Why not? Works every time. People love lies and liars more than life itself. The truth isn’t as pretty and requires some thinking.
Anyway, here we are, 4 years later, with the side that never accepted the election results Obama said in January ‘17 were 100% legitimate still not ceding power. But that’s been true for all GOP Presidents but two. That’s how you know it’s the OTHER side that will obviously do what we’re doing and have done 20x in a row.
But on the real side: nobody converts, nobody changes their mind.
“10% of users produced 92% of all tweets”
NY Twitterati echo-chamber I said not to do. But they are in it, selling mainstream candidates and elections to an electorate of 6%, and wonder why they lose. Fine by me though I tell you not to.
As far-left Twitterati Bill Maher says,
“Elizabeth Warren has not come out in favor of imprisoned serial killers voting but she does want taxpayers to cover their sex-change operations in prison. Which brings up the question, if you tried, could you come up with a policy with more third-rail buzzwords in it? Let’s see — taxpayer-funded sex-change for prisoners. Nope, I don’t think you could. And again, where are the votes in this? You know how many transgender there are in federal prison in America? 473. And they can’t vote. So we’re taking this position because it makes a great campaign slogan? Commit a crime, get a free dick. Commit a crime and your new vagina is free!”
…Aaaaaaaand they did it anyway, but twice as hard.
BF Skinner thought rigging people to be idiots and controlling media would allow the Technocrats complete control over the public cattle for their own ends (like getting their daughters on private planes). Turns out, they made themselves idiots and baffled themselves right out of recognizing reality. Hilarious! Perfect example of evil defeating itself while incidentally murdering all of us in the meantime.
“If Trump Wins, My Profession Is Done: Pollster (RT)”
Never fear: in a society without shame, it’s impossible to be discredited. Even if you kill 100k kids with an unscientific lockdown and 60K grandpas by poisoning them in wheelchairs. No. Clearly we reserve the highest medical praise for that, and the Agency that lauds it retains full credibility. Experts! You know.
“AOC is a name given to me by community & the people. Y’all can call me AOC.”
Offended by everything. Check. Has different logic and rules for friends and enemies? Check. Everything is somebody else’s fault? Check. Impoverishes own people by stopping business and is a hypocrite when their own policies drive her mother to a low-tax Republican state? Check.
Not done yet! Got a lot more helping to do! Some small businesses still haven’t folded. A few life-savings haven’t been transferred to Bezos. New York’s violent crime has only quadrupled in 60 months. We’re nowhere NEAR the disasters TRUE Socialism can bring.
“We have a mask mandate now. And a curfew.”
Since masks work like magic, what’s the curfew for? To keep the Gilet Jeunes from talking?
And you know they’ve been writing white papers about this for decades. You only need read them. Orwell and Skinner if you like novel form. Collins if you like movies. We’re going to kill your kids in a lottery of pure violence. And you’re going to love it, support it, and watch it on TV.

red dot? surplus?If governments were sincere about pubic health, then they be mandating things like:
8 hours of sleep per night
30-60 min of fresh/outdoor exercise daily
healthy food rich in zinc, vitamin D, etc (and supplements if necessary)
no overtimeThe mask mandates are nothing but political theater that emboldens tyrannical, anti-human behavior.
Someone recently pointed out: “but masks are the best weapon that we have against the virus”. No, a healthy immune system is the best weapon against corona virus and all other manner of diseases. A healthy immune system is the reason that 99% of corona virus cases are mild and probably why many people don’t become infected at all even if exposed to the virus.
On a different note, I’ve been wondering why the outbreak has been surging in some places recently and then saw these maps posted at Americas Frontline Doctors that purport to show the availability of Hydroxychlorouine around the world:
Crazy that authorities are actively undermining the ability of medical doctors to treat patients.This is fascinating! I can change the format to written out, and it still gets stopped, so it isn’t that a poem format is verboten.
I was listening to W. Webb yesterday and she points out that real problem is the crackdown that’s coming. Operation warp speed marches in with the military mystery no-liability vaccines, and the “vaccines” will themselves track and trace us…at least Trump says it won’t be mandatory. But why believe anything anymore?
Poking through the melting seven inches of snow we had Tuesday are more Biden signs than Trump signs. I don’t like Trump. but I despise Biden. Choices, choices…NOT.
I’m listening to Jorgensen as I type. A few years back (so long ago!!) I would not have thought I would be considering the libertarian candidate, but write-ins have to file ahead of time in my state to be counted. Sorry Dr. D.I can change the format to written out, and it still gets stopped, so it isn’t that a poem format is verboten.
The problem is on your side. Try converting whatever it is, to plain text.
Stop making sense already! Would yah! Hahaha!
I’m not blaming you, Ilargi! I haven’t ever seen this before where a string of words simply won’t post. (except, of course, for a written-out url). And what’s weird is that I can post all this other stuff.
I just tried again- and no luck. This is just plain strange. It was plain text, nothing fancy.
It posted over at offg.I had an entire string of comments deleted by wolf at wolf street. A few years from now when everything is more clear…. or not, all the part time nazis and censorship people will claim they never censored anyone!
While surveys and polls have their uses, I try not to form my entire perspective around them, because their is large disparity in individuals and granular situations. And, surveys are never fully impartial, always influenced by the survey writers and interpreters.
Case in point: government responses to Covid-19 are causing widespread mental suffering.
First off, the *cause* of mental suffering is not so clear cut. For myself, government restrictions (like mask wearing) didn’t bother me at all. The general angst about getting and catching an unknown virus bothered me. Being in public with others not wearing masks, or having them not worn properly bothered me. The fact that when my mother, then my partner and then myself got Covid that I couldn’t find a doctor willing to prescribe HCQ (even tho it is legal in my state) bothered me. (We eventually found a willing doctor.) I miss church and its choir practice…but the decision to do no in-person activities for my church was decided by the church’s elected board, minister, and staff, and was not dictated by government.
Second, while there have been detrimental effects from the Pandemic, not all effects have been detrimental. A survey can be written in such a way to deliberately capture certain effects and to ignore others. For me, ever since the pandemic started I have gotten 7 to 9 hours of sleep nearly every night — simply because there are fewer expectations that I go places, and because I no longer need to ferry 3 kids to and from 3 different schools half of every week. My life is calmer. Transitioning some work to Zoom means that after an initial drop in income, my current income is right on track with what it was pre-pandemic. A friend who lives in a retirement community has been very bothered by that community’s response, has failed to get management to see his perspective…but rather than stew in it, he and his wife are simply moving out and are excited for the move
Yes, there are negative effects of the pandemic. And positive ones. But life is not static, never has been. What is more important to consider is resilience and whether or not individuals have access to the tools that help them to have resilience.
I just tried again- and no luck. This is just plain strange. It was plain text, nothing fancy.

I’m sorry about the “someone somewhere”. I am now writing from the bottom of a hole I dug for myself. No one is deleting or censoring me- there’s something about the poem that simply isn’t posting here.
If it had an url in it, I’d understand. ;}
It’s not that great a poem, either- just a note on my feeling very uncomfortable about being a “useless eater” (ie, old, like Henry).More on topics- why are reports telling us to ease lockdowns, etc, and just the opposite is happening? Why are they still talking vaccines when there are therapies? Is it starting to look to anyone else that the “conspiracies” about WEF agendas are true? That there is a real, viable plan to reset to technofeudalism?
How are we going to fight this when everyone is afraid of getting sick? Did anyone ever say to their CO “Sorry, sir, I’m feeling a bit under the weather. You can all go to battle without me.”“The obvious double-standard guarantees that the tech platforms will henceforth be viewed by a huge portion of the population as political censors instead of standards enforcers, and moreover that mainstream press pronouncements about such controversies will be deemed automatically untrustworthy by that same population.”
(Highlights added)The above quote is the summary statement in Matt Taibbi’s recent article: Facebook and Twitter’s Intervention Highlights Dangerous New Double Standard.
Readers of Taibbi, author of the 2017 bestseller: Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus, will notice that the statement is thoroughly devoid of his typical biting and incisive wit. In fact, the whole article, in my opinion, is toned down, so as not to unsettle the bulk of his Trump-hating readers. This tells me that Taibbi, seasoned political journalist that he is, smells a sea change coming and is cautiously writing about it; which he must if he cares to avoid the fate of his sniveling colleagues and retain any future credibility as a journalist.
“More on topics- why are reports telling us to ease lockdowns, etc, and just the opposite is happening? Why are they still talking vaccines when there are therapies?

Honestly because its an election year, and because the last four years we’ve been told that anyone who helped elect trump is a racist, stupid throwback, and most of the people who are losing their business and aren’t working from home are probably trump supporters, this is punishment. Lockdown is punishment until you make the right choice and trump is no longer president. If this is true, then i guess trump really isn’t the establishment. If HCQ does work and helps people if administered early, then the only reason to deny it is to drag this out at least until the election is over. Too much is murky, we’ve been fed sooo much disinformation that nobody except those in power have any idea whats going on. I do believe the Clinton/Bush/CIA faction are globalists, perhaps trump is a nationalist or represents that faction, and if he does get another four years with nothing to lose maybe we will get lots of dark details from the past 20+ years of the cabal that has been running the country. Who knows, but what it does show is how much we’ve been told is not the truth and how we are fed BS all the time and told its the truth.
Also if i wanted to destroy any remaining threads of trust that people had with their fellow man, i couldn’t think of a better way to do it then how we’ve handled this. Also institutions, if i wanted to create something new (because the people in power were the people in power under the last institutions) i’d do everything i could to discredit those institutions (but promise the people running them that they’ll be in charge of the new institutions), sow fear and mistrust amongst the people and then tell each “side” its the othersides fault. This year is like an episode of black mirror.
According to Michael Lewis, the Trump transition team barely existed and had no strategy.
“The Fifth Risk is a 2018 non-fiction book by Michael Lewis that examines the transition and political appointments of the Donald Trump presidency, especially with respect to three government agencies: the Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Commerce”. Wikipedia
We still suffer from that ignorance. Rural/small Towns/Cities/MSAs, have relatively small tax bases, few opportunities for economies of scale. They do a lot with a little. They also need their State and Federal governments more than the large MDAs. Redistricting on population basis for both State houses and Congressional Representatives every decade has shifted representation to the endlessly needy, inefficient suburbs that get more and more of the pie. At the Federal level, the Senate does provide some representation of the land separate from population which only takes from the land. The Republicans disabuse the religious who live on the edge of exploitation, assuring them that if they don’t get what they need in this life it will surely come in the next. The media wise will never understand this.

For the life of me I don’t know what to do!‘Bonfire of the Humanity’, by Russell Bangs:
“..As always the most vulnerable elements – our inner feelings, our self-respect and self-confidence, our personal relationships, our ability to form such relationships in the first place, our attempts to rebuild human community amid such a hostile sociopathic commodified habitat – are the most vulnerable to this totalitarian violence. The primary goal always is to eradicate everything that makes us human in the first place. This was always the goal of tyrants throughout history, the goal of modern totalitarian tyrannies, and most virulent of all it is the primary goal of the globalist technocratic elites in launching their terror-lockdown assault which uses covid as a pretext. The mass death cult which has arisen to exult in this global bonfire of humanity, these masses so spiritually and intellectually exhausted they repose such fundamentalist faith in such dominionist presumption and flee to what they hope will be a new age of darkness where they never again have to lay eyes upon one another or upon themselves..”
and: “..The “pandemic”, such as it ever was, has been over since late spring. That’s why the cultists have to resort to semantic distortions and misdirection – shrieking about alleged new “cases” where they mean non-symptomatic infections, detected by what’s universally known to be an unreliable test, and which numbers, to the extent they’re accurate, reflect the inexorable progress of herd immunity, while they fraudulently imply significant numbers of people are dying when in reality this is not happening anywhere nor will it ever happen – and outright lies, while regressing to the most infantile flat-earthism in denial of the success of Sweden and others who did not join the terror stampede and in parroting over and over, “I believe because it’s absurd…I believe because it’s absurd…”..”
Those running this pandemic-show are killing off humanity (lockdowns, antisocial distancing, job loss, solidarity destroyed) and what it means to be human. The contradictory directives are just part of the show..

Speaking to your ‘Bonfire of the Humanity’ muse:
Samantha Hill on Hannah Arendt:
“Totalitarianism uses isolation to deprive people of human companionship, making action in the world impossible, while destroying the space of solitude. The iron-band of totalitarianism, as Arendt calls it, destroys man’s ability to move, to act, and to think, while turning each individual in his lonely isolation against all others, and himself. The world becomes a wilderness, where neither experience nor thinking are possible.
Totalitarian movements use ideology to isolate individuals. Isolate means ‘to cause a person to be or remain alone or apart from others’. Arendt spends the first part of ‘Ideology and Terror’ breaking down the ‘recipes of ideologies’ into their basic ingredients to show how this is done:
ideologies are divorced from the world of lived experience, and foreclose the possibility of new experience;
ideologies are concerned with controlling and predicting the tide of history;
ideologies do not explain what is, they explain what becomes;
ideologies rely on logical procedures in thinking that are divorced from reality;
ideological thinking insists upon a ‘truer reality’, that is concealed behind the world of perceptible things.The way we think about the world affects the relationships we have with others and ourselves. By injecting a secret meaning into every event and experience, ideological movements are forced to change reality in accordance with their claims once they come to power. And this means that one can no longer trust the reality of one’s own lived experiences in the world. Instead, one is taught to distrust oneself and others, and to always rely upon the ideology of the movement, which must be right.
But in order to make individuals susceptible to ideology, you must first ruin their relationship to themselves and others by making them skeptical and cynical, so that they can no longer rely upon their own judgment:
“Just as terror, even in its pre-total, merely tyrannical form ruins all relationships between men, so the self-compulsion of ideological thinking ruins all relationship with reality. The preparation has succeeded when people have lost contact with their fellow men as well as the reality around them; for together with these contacts, men lose the capacity of both experience and thought. The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (ie, the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (ie, the standards of thought) no longer exist…..”

And just to add; my personal cup is half full….not empty. There are many and myriad people I know and have encountered through out my 70 years and even in the last 8 months who can think for themselves and are out there risking it and actually EXPERIENCING the world. I am hopefull.
“An especially telling moment occurred on October 13th. According to the Times, two senior White House officials cited, in a background conversation with reporters, the Great Barrington Declaration—a document that argues for the pursuit of herd immunity through widespread infection instead of a vaccine.”
“Throughout the pandemic, Trump and his team have often denied that they are pursuing herd immunity as a strategy. And yet their words and actions have belied their disavowal. “Once you get to a certain number—we use the word ‘herd’—once you get to a certain number, it’s going to go away,” the President told Fox News, in August. ”

The two headed snake metaphor was ok. This ‘screen’ one too. No need to go all metaphysical and quantum universe on us. Newtonian physics works ok at my interface. At my interface life ain’t no *screen*. This? AE? Mental masturbation, circle jerk in the cloud(Raul used it first!). Fun, but too much of anything will make you crazy as my mom told me many years ago.
Sorry buddy, I think Hannah Arendt just threw her hands up and turned over in her grave
The following article is very well written and hits on many of the points that I have been making and proposes an explanation for what is going on but be warned it is very unsettling.
The following article is very well written and hits on many of the points that I have been making and proposes an explanation for what is going on but be warned it is very unsettling.
It is an interesting read, as it gives an overview not often seen/written about.
I found it not to be unsettling because there is nothing really new; its power lies in putting it all together under one roof, so-to-speak.
Fear is the real boogy man; the main power weilded by those in power…
I have a saying: Fear is a thief, don’t let it steal from you.
Thanks for that article…..The West has one system. It is to make a profit. Government, Society, and the Law have all been dismantled to maximize the organization’s sole goal; making more money. Donald Trump is still an oligarch even though he is his family’s Third-generation Money Loser. Joe Biden is a First-generation Professional Politician who is way too old to be running for election once again. Hunter is his 50-year-old crack head offspring who’s not Beau.
The coronavirus pandemic could have been controlled in the West with a functional public health system. But neither candidate has any intention of spending any money on people’s health. That would cut into the 20% that health care brings to the Plutocrats and their Overseers’ wealth extraction schemes. The virus has killed 230,068 Americans to date. Twice the casualties of all the US wars since WWII. Death for profit with not one victory in 75 years.
Everybody knows what they did not know when C19 started.
(Wash hands, distancing and masks.)
There is no logical reason or excuses for C19 to, once again, hear reports of C19 running wild in the care home around the world.Why Biden won’t get elected: his daughter, Ashley, says she took “not appropriate showers” with him as a child. There goes the women vote. Many red flags, just ask Tara Reade.
EXCLUSIVE SOURCE: Biden Daughter’s Diary Details ‘Not Appropriate’ Showers With Joe As Child
Why Biden won’t get elected: his daughter, Ashley, says she took “not appropriate showers” with him as a child. There goes the women vote. Many red flags, just ask Tara Reade.
Okay, very titilating, but is it true?
@V. Arnold
@ John DayYes we are all a collection of our experiences and how we connect to nature is probably the truest truth that is real.
There is so much shit going on in our abstract lives, the connections to nature that we are not aware of and our world view that formed in our youth and has been modified by reality is not always consistent.
I have challenged everything in my life growing up and it is no different today. I thank you both for your causing me to think deeper and providing further sources of exploration.
@V. Arnold, regarding this article,
Your comment that it was not so unsettling to you is perhaps because you have recognized with your life experience that this is the way life has been proceeding but the reason I felt the article was so unsettling is because it destroyed my worldview.
The reason I say this is because I grew up in a very pristine environment where I can drink the water out of any brook or river not in town. Then I moved to Toronto for my post-secondary education where I saw the Don and Humber rivers running with a green water that if I had tried to drink I probably would have died. Lesson 1. What was this world with green river water that is probably unsafe to drink? It was my first clue that giant cities are not good for life. So as I proceeded with my education and eventually got my engineering degree and eventually spent some time in Hong Kong and China and I see in China a man on a bicycle with a steel king sized mattress positioned on his head as he transported it which I suspect was to another factory to be finished. In China there was an old woman with a baby smacking my arm and asking for money. What is wrong with this place I thought. So sheltered from life was I that I could not understand how this situation was even possible. Having grown up in Canada, I could not understand why the government was not feeding you, ensuring you are healthy and providing you with a place to live. That was my world.
So when I reflect on Capitalism, I have discovered that my idea is similar to that of FDR.
Hyperinflation, Fascism and War: How the New World Order May Be Defeated Once More
When I think of the USA as a country, I feel that they are very cruel to their poor and everyone else in the world who are poor. I have consumed the mainstream media and I mistakenly thought that the USA was a force for good in the world. No longer. I feel shame that I contributed to the AAAV, M1A1, and Bradley fighting vehicle.
What to do? Live in nature, work my ass off and try to survive for as long as I can as long as it is pleasant.
@ John Day
Regarding fungi, I understand that they provide a beautiful solution to the decomposition of organic matter but as a person who is trying to survive, I would encourage anyone else to forget about paints and stains and simply apply bleach once or twice a year. Your wooden structures would last much longer.The concept reminds me of The Game of Thrones and the spore drive on Star Trek but life is a serious mystery. And yes I am certain there are many things that we have not figured out and the more I reflect there is a requirement for an unknown force to shepherd our souls.
@ Bill7
I totally agree with you. The majority of the population has been captured and are ready for slaughter.
@ Geppetto,
Ok. I will tell you from experience if this is not yours, people get along very well if they have the same income and societies work much better if rich fucks are taxed down to level of their workers so the wealth is spreads round.Trickle down is bullshit.Kill the the billionaires and millionaires. That’s the way forward.
