It’s coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It’s coming from the feel
That this ain’t exactly real
Or it’s real, but it ain’t exactly there
From the war against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the USA . . . . . .@mpsk
Yes, we do need the young folks and we have the truth on our side. That rapper that upstateNYer linked to is the way to draw them in. No time to waste. Let’s take the truths we learn here and discuss them with any young people we come into contact with. It is a badge of honor to be a dissident. What would Julian Assange do?
Long, wonderful essay from Edward Curtin. Keeps things in perspective.
Thanks for posting that Off Guardian article. I have printed it and will put in my back window tomorrow,
His image is agony personified. A truly courageous man of honor. We must never forget Julian Assange.
That photo of Assange is grotesque. I can[t even imagine what karma would consist of for those who have perpetrated this hideous torture on another human being. Sadly, they are the same sadistic m,,f….s who are perpetrating the pandemic/vaccine hoax.
@rdk
I concur with your recommendation. I have my latest cannatonic grow in the basement. Been using it for 3-4 yrs now.

@ Mr House
I read that Yves Smith essay earlier today and thought, “House is right. IM Doc is making an impact at NC”.
I hesitate in just lifting an entire comment from another website, but the first hand observations of IM Doc posted at NC yesterday should be required reading.

August 8, 2021 at 8:33 am
This week has been a bit busy – so I have just put the whole week into one big comment.We continue to have quite a bit of infection in the community. In my own practice, I am usually seeing 5-15 cases a day of COVID. The majority of these cases are vaccinated breakthroughs. There have been 2 whole days this week where the entire day were all vaccinated breakthroughs. Please note – this is the outpatient side. Despite Dr. Walensky’s reassurance to Americans that these are very rare, this has not been my experience at all. These breakthroughs continue to happen in clusters. While the unvaccinated positives tend to be more isolated and far less likely to spread and sicken contacts. The clusters are almost always vaccinated as well. I have no explanation for this. It is my feeling the virus is trying to tell us something. This seems to be consistent with constant news reports of cluster events among the vaccinated all over the country.
The unvaccinated positives are likely underrepresented in my office sample. They are likely younger. They are likely to have no insurance or high copays so very hesitant to get tested. They are likely to get fired if they miss a day of work so they just do not want to know if they are positive. Furthermore, it seems that every effort has been made to make it very difficult for anyone to get tested. Why bother?
As far as the hospital – it remains about 50/50 vaccinated/unvaccinated. The percentage of vaccinated patients seems to be slowly creeping up daily. I am hearing from my friends all over the country that the same is true. You no longer hear about 1% vaccinated anymore in the hospital. A slow but surely increasing prevalence of the vaccinated in the hospitals. The vaccinated inpatients tend to be older and vaccinated at the beginning in DEC or JAN. The unvaccinated are younger – usually 40-60 – almost always with obesity or diabetes. Unlike the last wave, the majority of these patients are in and out in a day or two. I am not saying there are not sick people – there are. Just not nearly as many as before. This too is confirmed by my friends. The critically ill are few but are almost entirely made up of the unvaccinated. We have had but 2 vaccinated in the ICU this whole time. The stories you are hearing of crashed hospitals in the big cities are happening because large numbers of non-critical patients are being admitted and discharged – with continued large numbers coming into the ER. The other factor is staffing. Nurses have become depressed and are leaving in droves. And the ancillary staff in many places has been decimated by employees leaving because of the vaccine mandates. There is more at work than patient numbers by the panic porn that is all over the MSM.
The vaccines are clearly not working as promised. Large numbers of vaccinated patients are getting sick. I remember when I did the guest post back in December about the Pfizer trials. I was and am gravely concerned about the medical establishment in the guise of the Editors of NEJM referring to these miraculous vaccines, perfect in every way, as a “triumph”. There are lots of things in medicine the past decades that are indeed miracles. But calling something a “triumph” before a shot was in the first arm betrayed to me a certain level of hubris – and I knew in my heart at that very moment that Nemesis, Hubris’s best friend, would soon be making a visit.
We should all remember where the word TRIUMPH actually comes from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whbI55Q1KB0
One of my very elderly classics professors in college had worked as an adviser to Hollywood during the “Sword and Sandals” extravaganza of the 1950s. In his opinion, that clip was from the film that got the whole concept of triumph closest to reality. Quo Vadis. The Roman General is on his chariot going through the streets of Rome, past the Vestal Virgins. The throngs are going ape. But there is something there in Rome that we are sorely missing today – a slave on the chariot holding the Crown of Gold over his head. And please note what the slave is whispering in his ear the whole time. In Latin the words were Memento Homo! Memento Mori!. In English that means – REMEMBER THOU ART BUT A MAN! – REMEMBER THAT THOU ART MORTAL! – Unlike the medical triumph of these perfect vaccines, the Roman triumph was done for things that were very well deserved. And with all the Hubris going around, do we ever need that slave in the chariot today……..
As our Ancient Greek forebears taught us, when Hubris is let loose in the world, the Gods would have but one remedy to clean up all the delusions and insanity, and that would be to let loose Nemesis.
And I am beginning to see a lot of Nemesis coming right down from the sky. These vaccinated patients that are sick are not very happy at all. Many of them are profoundly angry. The lies and misrepresentations are very soon going to start catching up with our leaders. And what I never dreamed would happen has begun to happen this week – close to half of my positive COVID patients – in an unsolicited manner are demanding to be placed on alternative therapy such as ivermectin. In a very angry manner.
I have no problem using this drug. I used it quite a bit in the first big crash in the fall and winter and started using it again about 6 weeks ago. Using the scientific method as I was so carefully trained to do decades ago, and with the limited tools I have, I have been able to make some observations.
Once a patient, vaccinated or not, becomes positive for COVID in my practice, my nurses or myself call them once in the AM and once in the PM. There is a form we fill out on each of these calls to describe their clinical condition with parameters – fever, congestion, shortness of breath, coughing, pulse ox, etc. When the patients have cleared every single one, we quit calling them. We usually have between 15-20 active cases this past few weeks daily. A pattern became very obvious very quickly in this process – and I have distilled it with 2 raw numbers. The Ivermectin patients are cleared of symptoms (N of 44) in average of 2.4 days. The Non-Ivermectin patients (N of 19) are cleared of symptoms after 5.7 days. Furthermore, on day 5 of the illness, we always have the patients go and get tested again. The Ivermectin patients have literally a 100% negative rate by Day 5. The non-Ivermectin patients have a 58% clearance rate by Day 5.
I want to make one thing very clear. This is the scientific method. These numbers are consistent with the overall signal that all kinds of studies are showing with this drug. However, I am just one clinician in one office. Nothing dispositive can be said or done with these numbers.
However, it is an indication of yet another complete fail on the part of our medical leaders. These signals have now been out there for about a year. It is at this point, a national embarrassment that nothing has been done to fully evaluate this drug. I will say again, our leaders are not practicing medicine, they are practicing business.
I have a moral obligation to my patients. I must always do what is in their best interest. Our MSM is screaming the panic porn daily about hospitals and critically ill. On the ground, I am seeing already an alarming incidence of post-COVID symptoms (mainly now brain fog, depression, suicidal thinking, and severe headaches) in many of these patients WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED and then were infected.
Dr. Fauci & Dr. Walensky and Pfizer/Moderna – your vaccines have FAILED these patients. They still got sick. In numbers that are alarmingly high compared to what was promised. Post-COVID syndrome is a real thing – as real as it gets – and again your vaccines have failed. You would tell us to do NOTHING. Your whole plan is seemingly VACCINE VACCINE VACCINE. Well, they failed. Is it not my obligation to do everything possible to spare these patients POST COVID syndrome? With a drug with decades of safety behind it? With all the signal behind how well it works? Confirmed by my own eyes in my own practice?
Patients and the general public are profoundly angry and are beginning to lose all faith in our medical establishment. I see it every day. Nemesis is indeed upon us. If the Biden Administration does not quickly act to chart another course, I guarantee you, Nemesis will soon be unleashed upon them. It is going to be Reagan/Mondale 1984 landslide all over again.
rosco,
I can see sitting around and getting wasted with you, laughing our asses off. But not here. Capito?
You are a mighty voice. A reasoned voice. And a stern voice.
I really appreciate your views. Thank you.
Actually cosco, I was responding to Bill7. But I’m glad I’m gaining some traction with you. Study on but please, spare us the detailed analyses.
I am an animal lover, in particular dogs and elephants are my favorites. This article doesn’t surprise me, but it sure does piss me off. A LOT!
Fauci-Led Agency Funded Abusive Animal Experiments Promising To Kill Dozens Of Beagles
cosco sure does post a lot
You’re just noticing now? I’m hoping he goes into his self described fiction writing “trance” real soon. I didn’t call him a cafone for nothing.
Well, that was quick.
FDA Reportedly Hopes To Fully Approve Pfizer’s Covid Vaccine By Labor Day
Does anyone have a subscription or available “free reads” for Bloomberg? Today’s editorial might be worth reading:
The FDA Needs to Clear the Air on Vaccine Approval
Hmmmm, this is interesting:
Fourth Capitol Police Officer Dies By Suicide After Jan. 6 Riot
Those last few links you posted bosco are really worthy of significant thought. It truly does appear apocalyptic just around the corner.
Current headline at Bloomberg:
‘Very Real Fourth Wave’ Presses FDA to Fully Approve Covid Shots
Time to fish or cut bait is nigh.
@bosco
I like what you wrote but I think Engagement Strategy and Building the Argument should be lumped together into some superseding tactic. Averaging those numbers gives a 3.75 rating and thus a total of 9.25 out of a possible 20. Do you still want more of it?
@democritus and deflationista
I’ll be honest, I tried watching that video but felt it’s not worth investing 2 hours of my time. I haven’t been pursuaded by Bret Weinstein nor do I know anyone who has been. Insofar as listening to “real science”, I had to first look up Yuri Deigin, the star of that video. This is his self description on linkedin:
Preventing death is my life’s mission. Any death, be it from COVID, cancer or aging. ➕New hobby as of 2020: SARS2 origins.
Woohoo Boy, bullshit meter went off the scale and broke when I saw that. But you want to question the authenticity of the FLCCC?
As you know from reading this site we have several “Doctors” commenting regularly here but one, in particular, is a clinical doctor with hands-on experience treating patients with CV.

Well over a year ago
he was urging strengthening of your immune system and early use of Ivermectin in combination with other drugs/supplements. He was sharing his data and observations with other clinicians and gained valuable insights which were shared here. I don’t know how many people even knew of Bret Weinstein at that time. I know I didn’t. But as the months rolled by and the covid neurosis was ratcheting up, we found out a lot more about Ivermectin, zinc and a whole host of other treatments and supplements that were being used elsewhere. All the studies being done were coming to the same conclusions. Most, if not all, of those studies were brushed off by the bureaucrats in charge of policy or they were flat out censored from being talked about on social media and the msm. It’s been vaccines all the way down and vaccines ONLY. And they are not really vaccines in the first place. They are the whimsical hobbies of the hubristic class and technocrats, AT BEST.
I appreciate those that took the time to give me feedback. All good points and well taken. Thank you.
I should add that having a modicum of decorum is necessary in polite society. That goes for blogs as well.
It’s the weekend so let’s have some honest fun.
How many readers read all of THE cafone’s incessant postings and how many don’t get past the first sentence?
How many people would like THE cafone to find another way of handling his ADHD outside of the TAE environment?
I’m being serious! HIjacking a website and incessantly badgering, correcting and being assinine in general, is an insult to the website owner. Perhaps Ilargi will never censor or expel commenters but we the commenters have to decide what is “over the line” or ‘beyond the norm” iand encourage or discourage accordingly.
Is Bosco THE cafone really that colorful and insightful that giving him a pass on hijacking this site is permissible? In fact, I think that Bosco THE cafone is pushing a resolution to the question.
When I first labeled Bosco?madamski/whatever nom de plume as a true “cafone”, I meant it in the basic context of the Italian slang meaning. If you can imagine BEING Italian, then you would call him as a Gah Vooone! The meaning would intensify with the inflection in your voice.
So, madamski/Bosco/Robin tries to neutralize the connotation by adopting the new moniker “madamski cafone”. Am I the only one seeing through this ruse? Bosco/kmadamski/whatever is truly A CAFONE with all the ridicule the epithet so richly implies.
Or should I just resign myself to not reading comments entirely? Not a life changing decision for me either way.
Just wondering.
Thanks for the explanation. I was going to comment on the “racist” nature of the product but those darned kids beat me to it. If you go to Italy, you might want to use cheech instead.
I’m wondering how you came by that name? It is a slang term in Italian (derived from ciuccio) and does not have a flattering meaning.
It’s a personal journey, an inside job, but it’s easier if you have a mentor & a community of kindred spirits along The Way…
And therein lies the rub. I imagine Jim Jones said something like this. Also, David Koresh, L. Ron Hubbard and a whole bunch of other charlatans. At the end of the day, you can only trust yourself. Personally I like Carlos Castaneda’s approach. l
I wrote that it would not scale up to a global population, not the current global population. I know a few people in the north country of NYS that went permaculture in the mid 70s and I admired them but it just wasn’t for me. I also lived on a farm for a while back in the day and I know how peaceful and satisfying that kind of life can be. But let’s get real, how many of these permaculture settlements exist today and how many more could be accommodated? And how many people have the wherewithal to get into it? Anyway, this old guy is not fearful of whatever is to come.
