I quote from an article in RT https://www.rt.com/news/557989-trump-killed-2024-chances/
In his opening statement last week, Democrat committee chairman Bennie Thompson alleged that Trump was “at the centre of a sprawling, multi-step conspiracy aimed at overturning the 2020 presidential election.”
The evidence provided at the public hearings has already gone a long way to confirming the truth of that extraordinary charge – and much more testimony damning of Trump is expected when the hearings resume in mid-July.
Now I ask myself why RT is pushing out propaganda that purports to take the J6 commitee seriously? Why is Russia supporting the group that is operating Biden? If Russia wants a rational end to the Ukraine conflict, why would they support Biden? The group that is trying to destroy Europe and will create even more instability on Russia’s western border. Why would I believe that Russia and that group are not working together?

I *LOATHE* elective abortion, but the idea that I could become pregnant and lose bodily autonomy is both horrifying and unethical.
Women don’t just “become pregnant and lose bodily autonomy”, ridiculous. The woman makes a decision to try to become pregnant – or to risk getting pregnant – and in doing so she takes on a responsibility. She is the most involved at the start of the process, so it appears as if she is losing her autonomy, but the man’s turn will come in time. You are advocating for the woman to then be able to abandon that responsibility.
The comparison with mandated vaccination is cheap, this is not the same thing at all and I am sure you know it: mandated rape is the equivalent of mandated jabs. An equivalent would be for women to demand to be able to be unjabbed.
Should the woman, having taken on such a significant responsibility, be permitted to discard that commitment? I am against that option personally for the reason that to be a responsible adult you need to live up to your commitments and not use obscuration of known reality as an excuse for being irresponsible. The known reality is that conception is when the process begins. As Dr D stated, this does not guarantee success, but it is definitely the point in time when all the needed components come together, after which only nourishment and environment are needed to enable the embryo grow into a fetus.
The other side of the coin is whether society has a right to expect a woman to live up to her commitments? Is that taking too much freedom from the woman?
My biggest angst with the abortion debate is the stream of excuses used to justify killing the embryo and allowing the woman to cop out. People are mostly hugely disappointing and can be very nasty, as we have seen in the Covid anti-vax open hostility. To expect a woman to be an angel is unreasonable, but to pretend that this is not killing another human or maybe the human does not yet have a soul is self delusion.

How can it really be that the politicians in the Netherlands can survey the current world situation and decide that the most important thing to do right now is hamstring their own food producers? Can it really be explained by incompetence?
The recent decisions of politicians – Covid onwards – reveals to me that the corner of society that is home to politicians sees corruption as the norm: the social pressure is corruption. That part of society expects a politician to obey their financial owners and discard any thoughts of voters, country etc. Even at election time the campaigns are for the party, thereby obscuring the behaviour of the individual politicians who sold their electorate down the river. This is now extreme, you can see very little hesitancy within the political classes when they decide to screw their voters, no shame, it is what their peers expect.
“..it is NATO that is a “systemic challenge to world peace and stability” and its “hands are stained with the blood of the world’s people.”
China is just as bad, the difference is that they killed millions of their own and continue to terrorise their people. The Escobar delusion that China is this wonderful Nirvana needs to be tempered with a bit of reality. The reality is that the people of China still see escape from China as the biggest benefit they can give to their families: the one thing that unites almost all Chinese is that their life’s mission is to escape. The Shanghai lockdowns just add more fuel to that Chinese instinct. The Chinese know that their entire family wealth can be taken away from them by the government, they have seen this happen to others and live in fear of the same happening to them. You wonder why they don’t rebel, the reason is that they know their families will then starve and they will be on the streets. The Chinese are still escaping to Canada, UK, USA in arge numbers, despite all the crazy death throws of the western world.
Jonathan Freedland. Long time since I have seen that name. He does not believe in democracy, does not believe that people should be told the truth in order to make up their own minds, in his own language he is a “white supremecist” that believes in authoritarianism with the respectful vaneer of democracy. His entire belief system is based on lying to people because he and his owners know best. No wonder he is championing Biden, we all know Biden is not running the show, so that meets his authoritarian nirvana.

There is a logical fallacy to comparing a developing fetus or embryo to an established human life, already existent and engaged in family and community, which needs 6 months of intensive care.
The reductio-ad-absurdum in laid out in this song: “Every Sperm is Sacred” from “The Meaning of Life”.
The neurological development of a 12 week human fetus is similar to that of a tadpole, but not self-sufficient like a tadpole.
Your use of “Every Sperm is Sacred” is a cheap shot as this song was aimed at Catholicism: read the lyrics and you will see that the primary target is the “sin” of masturbation. Including this reference is a meaningless diversion indicating a lack of real logical argument.
The human embryo is by definition of the human species and is part of nature’s process of creating new members of the human population. Lots of materials come together in this process and you could argue that all the food ever eaten by the parents of the embryo are sacred components, but natural menstuation indicates that some waste will be involved in the reproductive process when an embryo is not created or not viable.
The human species needs the woman to reproduce and to nurture the child into adulthood. The man is there to provide while this process is underway. Nature provides us with all the tools needed to do this, including the traditional traits such as sexual pleasure, maternal instinct, hormones, male protectiveness, male single mindedness etc.
The woman makes the decision to create the embryo. Conception is the start of the reproduction process even though, as mentioned above, it is obviously using materials created prior to conception. The woman decides, in all but a tiny number of cases (such as rape, a seperate issue), to start the process of creating a human being. This is her choice to undertake the process of creating a child.
The privilege of being a mother comes with the tools required to be a mother, and killing your unborn will not come naturally to the maternal instinct. The question is whether she should be allowed to kill the embryo/fetus simply because she has changed her mind about having a baby or never wanted one in the first place but took the risk of getting pregnant.
If the embryo/fetus is not granted any rights then the government has no business getting involved in this process. If the embryo/fetus does have rights then the government should protect this new member of society. The neurological development argument is irrelevant because we are protecting the potential in the same way as we do for babies that have been born, have no life experience and cannot survive without assistance, regardless of whether they are premature.
Protecting a baby but not protecting an embryo means you deprive the embryo/fetus of rights and empower the mother to kill the embryo. Nature says that conception is the time when the embryo is created. Many humans find that point in time to be inconvenient, so they argue that nature is wrong and that humans should postpone granting rights to the embryo, the aim being to provide a window during which the mother can kill the embryo.
Will society allow women to be irresponsible and to abuse their privilege of motherhood? The woman wants the sex part of the process but not the responsibility part of the process. How are we to look at this as a society? Personally I go with nature as there is no valid argument against nature.

RIM: “did anyone watch the video of the two guys building a home?”
Thanks for that post. With the benefit of hindsight and someone more informed, it is obvious that scoundrels would be doing this, I am now wiser to the videos on youtube and appreciate it.
NATO, Russia and China are working together. Here are some more reasons why I believe this:
- NATO advisors were warning of a Ukraine war many years before the 2014 coup: this was leaking the plan
- NATO gave Russia plenty of time to establish alternatives to western finance and manufacturing
- NATO could have absorbed Russia into NATO when the USSR fell apart, but they obviously had other plans for Russia as the fake enemy
- NATO has not launched a military offensive against Russia, it is instead feeding weapons to Russia so that all the European NATO countries end up defenseless
- NATO oligarchs are heavily invested in China which, with Russia, is winning this war and the primary beneficiary
- Biden is obviously just the front man for a more powerful entity. He was succeptible to corruption even before he was vice president and I am sure the threat of his son suffering a fatal accident is enough to make him toe the line
- China has a reputation for quietly taking over power using corruption, the USA being ripe for such an assault, although it may not be China alone pulling the strings
- China was definitely involved in Covid, the initial videos of people falling down in the streets etc
- China is using Covid to either wrest even more power away from their people or to disrupt the western supply lines
- Who benefits? China and Russia are definitely benefiting. The west appears to be willingly forfeiting its power but we know that is more than very unlikely that the owners will be forfeiting their power, so the probability is that that power is retained and will show up again somewhere else and we will discover that the owners have changed team
NATO, Russia and China are working together. Here are some more reasons why I believe this:
- Australia is crippling its own energy sector while shipping carbon to China. Obviously their concern for the environment is somewhat limited as sanctions is the perfect reason to stop this.
- Australia is shipping uranium to China while China supports Russia, Australia supports NATO and Australia closes its own nuclear plants
- USA is not even punishing China with the Trump tariffs, let alone anything serious
- USA is not even considering returning manufacturing to the USA, so what is the plan?
- Biden is happy to buy oil from Saudi (dependancy) but not happy for the USA to drill for its own oil (independence)
- USA is still arming Saudi in Yemen yet Saudi is on the Russia team
- USA is freezing the use of its own carbon resources but is this genuine concern about carbon (I do not believe that the owners believe this climate nonsense) or are they using it to wrest control from the people or are they retain resources for use at a later date?
NATO, Russia and China are working together. Here are just a few of the reasons why I believe this:
- Erdogan agreed to Finland and Sweden joining NATO, something he would probably only do if told to by Putin.
- NATO is disarming by slowly feeding weapons into Ukraine warehouses, slowly enough for none of them to reach the front and in large enough quantities for them to easily be destroyed by Russia
- China has not even suffered increased tariffs for their support of Russia
- Australia is still shipping gas and uranium ore to China despite their breach of NATO sanctions and despite the Australian “green” policy that is closing its own uranium and gas power plants
- The Ukraine military is mostly the Ukraine Nazis and they have been inadequately trained to face up against Russia. They had 8 years to do proper training – easy – yet failed, then a smaller Russian force was able to wipe them out and nobody really cared because they are Nazi scum, people Russia does not mind killing (remember WW2) and NATO does not mind killing (remember WW2)
- NATO is pussyfooting around, letting the politicians run their war rather than the army. Each delivery of weapons is a political move, not a military move
Acting on a proposal of the European Commission, the European Parliament, as expected, voted yesterday to renew the EU Digital Covid Certificate for another year. The vote was 453 for, 119 against and 19 abstentions.
The EU still refuses to care about the well-known fact that the vaccine does nothing positive to stop the spread of Covid, and therefore is a useless tool for keeping infectious people out of certain areas where they could infect others. It also continues to refuse to care that it is supposed to be kind of democratic – yes, I know that bit has smelled funny for a long time. All we see in this decision is that fear is driving them toward authoritarianism: they are afraid and they think this is going to help them, maybe it will.
I am interested to see which, if any, EU country drops the EU first. Will Germany allow its industrial base to die because the EU commanded sanctions? Will millions of newly unemployed Germans stand up for themselves or will they cower at home confident that their government is doing what’s best for Germany? Given that the politicians are corrupt cowards they will do whatever is least scary for them: which is more scary, crossing the USA, crossing the EU, dumping on their own people? I suspect the EU will be the first to lose, but we shall see. Popcorn at the ready.

Where’s is the left’s consistency on bodily autonomy when it comes to abortion vs “vaccine” mandates?
Where is the right’s consistency on bodily autonomy when it comes to abortion vs “vaccine” mandates?The right’s position is that you cannot kill humans, that includes any human in a woman’s womb, and assault includes injecting a fellow human against their will, including inject a woman with your penis in which case it is specialist assault called rape.
The left’s position is that you cannot kill humans, that excludes any human in a woman’s womb, and assault does not include injecting a fellow human against their will, although this does not include injecting a woman with your penis in which case it is specialist assault called rape.
Which is more consistent? The correct answer is that the left are batshit crazy, what they call consistency has so many exception clauses that only the young have the memory space to record such nonsense.
Karl toots his own horn.
Karl never toots his own horn, he has one of those road train air horns that can be heard for miles around and he only toots silence in between his blasts. He is interesting because of his contradictions: he spews a ceaseless diatribe containing many inaccuracies, he is a coward in that he is intolerant of challengers, he is a classic generalisation of an overconfident cocky parochial American, of the older school variety that had their hearts in the right place but were hated by the Brits. Well worth reading.
A Lemming Leading The Lemmings: The Terminal Collapse Of The Anti-war Left (Cook)
Fascinating how Cook rightly dumps on the rather (maybe disingenuously) thick Zizek for being a sucker for believing the Russia-bad hysteria. Fascinating because within Cook’s article he reveals his own religious fervour for the climate change power grab. It is so interesting to watch how ideology determines which propaganda fairytales these alternative “thinkers” adopt depending on their original principles. Zizek obviously is very confused over Ukraine. Cook is obviously very confused over climate change. My suspicion is that Cook prays at the altar of climate change because he sees it as vindication of his other belief that capitalism will destroy the world. Zizek and Cook are as bad as each other, but both are entertaining writers, never has “Log in your own eye” been more apt.

Remember this day, Friday, 24 June 2022, another day for the Infamy Files if anyone recalls the disaster that began on that day giving birth to Infamy.
The sad thing about this comment is the lack of recognition that congress should pass this as law: permit or ban abortion at the federal level. Democrat/GOP majorities have long existed in the past, but the leeches are more concerned with pumping money into Ukraine than with fixing the world for their voters. Blaming SCOTUS as amoral/immoral etc is simply pathetic, the only reason SCOTUS is put in the cross hairs is because congress will not write the law that would force the hand of SCOTUS. SCOTUS did its job, if you don’t like it then get the change you want written into law.

One thing that puzzles me, and is certainly debatable, is the slow progress that Russia is making despite their local advantages.

Dr Faletic, who earned his PhD in hypersonic technology from the ANU and now runs an international research consulting firm based in Canberra, says his faith in the scientific and medical community has been badly shaken by his experience.
That ends the mystery as to why the west is so far behind Russia in said technology. Was his PhD a participation PhD?

Since I see in action movies that all women are both supermodel physicists and can beat up any man with a finger, I’m sure this will go great.
Yesterday I was watching an episode of some mundane BBC mini-series – so mundane that I cannot remember the title – when exactly this happened, some 5 foot female beat up these two 6’6″ bouncers. It was only after this fantasy scene that I realised that my mind was doing something very strange: instead of remembering the characters in the story by their names, I was remembering them by their skin colour.
If you have ever watched a BBC program, you will find that every scene (unless it is the idiot bad guys who are always white) the cast has one of each hue of blackness. I caught myself thinking of the daughters of the mid-black heroine as the darker daughter and the lighter daughter. I continued watching and realised I also did not know the names of any of the characters in the office scenes: there was the the dark black guy, the light black guy, the light black woman etc.
My mind was inherently colourist, finding the colour easier to remember than the face or name. My mind found it easier to recognise them by colour than by name. Maybe I am just some honky racist, maybe I see the world as a colour swatch or maybe I am just one of the bad guys.

It isn’t helpful because when we use such stereotypes to dismiss large chunks of humanity we are no different from what we hate – we begin to “other,” to see in terms of “us vs. them,” etc. We can fall into the trap a counter mass formation.
American politics is almost unique in its divide and conquer strategy. Emotional issues such as abortion, gun rights etc are used by political parties to form identities for themselves, identities that people then use to associate with the party. These issues then enable the party members to completely ignore their voters on all non-identity issues, somethings the RINOs are even named for, but they still keep on getting elected because they are members of the same identiy group as their voters.
Keeping the abortion and guns issues at the forefront is essential when it comes to election time, these issues can sway voters even if the person they are electing was caught taking millions in bribes or was cheating on his parner. America is very strange this way, but the two party system is designed and funded for this identiy politics.
Of course, one downside for the average American is that they spend too much time worrying about these emotional yet basically minor issues while the politicians get away with murder on bigger issues. One such is the Democrat hatred of guns yet they are shipping said guns all over the world and left a ton of them in Afghanistan, but their domestic audience only identify with gun control, they don’t care about war.

“my overarching theory about what is happening with the Western elite is that the systems that civilizations run on now are extremely complex. You have too much compartmentalization without any effective grand strategists. Without a clear view of all of the compartments, if any compartment fails to accurately assess the situation, or fails to deliver the results it promised, the entire thing fails. What’s more, the compartments have their own internal drives, which can conflict with each other.”
Another theory, which I subscribe to, is that the decline of the people in government is no different to the decline of the people in the mass population, the sheep. We do not have leaders any more which is how WEF has installed WEF whores in all the governments in the west. Do WEF really believe that those people can lead or do they believe those people will obey instructions? It is a hierarchy of sheep and the sheep at the top are as useless as the sheep on that Reddit thread that Dr D posted yesterday (https://old.reddit.com/r/AskOldPeople/comments/v0xbah/what_do_you_think_of_the_united_nations_report/).
Talking of that reddit thread – which provided me with so much entertainment and an unusual feeling of superiority, similar to that felt when listening to kids talk about getting drunk – the most enjoyable section was this:
Consider Dr. Fauci, who is a real scientist who respects the scientific method. Dr. Fauci was able to explain a complex scientific concept (pandemic) using ordinary words regular people could understand, and he was unbiased, meaning he changed his recommendations as new information became available. We don’t have a Dr. Fauci of climate science. We have struggling academics fighting for name recognition by out-competing each other on doomsday rhetoric. It’s not the same thing at all.
Oh dear I said as I looked at the hole in the engine block where the piston had escaped. Repairable? I don’t think so: maybe Pfizer will terminate these people.

The backlash to the gender confusion and attacks on “heteronormative” will be epic and drive the culture back into a male chauvinism and a disgust of non-hetero expression again.
As has been the way at the fall of every empire. The “tolerance” of depravity has been a symptom of the death of civilizations from Greece to USA. The rapid swing to intolerance is needed to correct the sinking ship: the focus will return to what is needed to build a successful society. First. you need successful families as the foundation, so the focus on families will be forced by forcing people back into their gender roles. This is nature and I welcome the return to basics, not some mythical idealist “better” that they keep whining on about.
I also hope that the prevalance of city living is destroyed to make way for a preference for village living where everybody gets to benefit from the so-far-illusionary benefits of automation that reduce our working week. I fear that the money changers will not welcome that improvement to society and the inherent empowering of people through community.
Turn off the wifi and GSM data on your phone, then take the battery out of the phone. After a minute, insert the battery into the phone. If the phone clock is correct then taking out the battery makes no difference as you have a backup battery on your motherboard which may be used to record your location, even if not transmit it. If you have to enter the time then you are probably safe in that your phone is too cheap to even keep the time. If you can’t take out the battery then you are constantly being monitored.
If you really want to disable your phone, get a pinephone from Pine64. The pinephone is a development phone and is not really even in beta, so it is pretty basic, it uses linux and you will find that lots of it does not work properly, but it is more private although like all network attached devices, you can always be watched at some level. Whenever you send or receive data, they will know which IP addresses you communicate with, in what order, at what times of day, the network locations involved etc. You cannot prevent this level of monitoring of your messages or your location if you use terrestial wifi or GSM. The pinephone uses dip swicthes to disconnect the cameras, bluetooth/wifi, microphone and other things, but you probably cannot disconnect the aerial so rogue software could still ping local towers which is all they need to identify you, with or without a SIM card. The only thing you might be able to confirm is whether the aerial can be powered up without the battery installed. You would have to look at the circuit diagrams.

Canadian health officials will hold conferences with WHO to review Pfizer vaccine side effects and ADE.
Interpretation: WHO will tell us what lies to tell to the people so that the global lies are coordinated lies, as we would not want to look stupid or corrupt or malicious.
Canadians are obviously not clever enough to work out what is going on so they are going to ask Bill Gates and Pfizer at the WHO global infection controllers, the people who’s job it is to release diseases and failed remedies. Canadians will then believe what they are told by these people, despite the gross conflicts of interest and the fact that the people controlling WHO are also controlling most of their politicians: obviously, because as soon as something unexpected happens, do they rely on the scientific knowledge in their country or do they scurry off to ask the boss at WHO.

To not even bother to look, but instead simply TRUSTING the mechanically generated answer and accepting it without question . . . is just beyond beyond. If someone simply accepts proposed crazy-wrong solutions without first imposing their own, real, consciously AWARE value judgment to them, then there will be hell to pay. As in, literally, Hell, to pay.
The tell for AI is that, as a form of multi-variate statistical analysis, it can only at best provide a “correct” answer for scenarios that it has encountered during training. Should a scenario arise in production that has not been seen before, the response of the system is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, many of the technologies that boast AI are actually just using traditional algorithms, many of which are now possible due to the ever increasing power of processors. I know of a company that boasts AI in one of its products, but actually that was done for marketing and investment reasons, there is no AI involved and I am sure they are not the only ones: at one time, putting AI in a company name would guarantee investment.
Humans have real intelligence and deal with unique situations on a regular basis. AI has a very long way to go before it can compete, always trust your gut feel, it is mostly correct.
Scientists such as Jones welcome the new legislation that could pave the way for a host of technologically enhanced products from vitamin D-enriched tomatoes to anti-carcinogenic wheat.
The key word is “could” because mRNA – yet more genetic magic – probably “could” be used in a vaccine against Covid, the only reason it wasn’t is because the scientists “have a little bit of knowledge”, enough to do a lot of damage but not enough to produce a product that is better than the old technology that had been proven to work.
Either they don’t know what they are doing or the Covid vaccines were a deliberate assault on the population. Take your pick.
I have no confidence that geneticists at the seed companies know what they are doing. In fact I am less confident, mainly because they are less regulated, not that regulation stops anybody from hurting the population these days.
I know what they will be doing, it will be the old trial and error system: change a gene then see what difference it makes, change another and do the same, ad infinitum until they decide that they are using too much budget testing and instead release some useless seed with a ton of marketing to recoup some of the cash spent on their efforts. They do it this way because they have no idea of how the genetic system really works …. a little knowledge is a dangerous things, but who cares when there is money to be made though the heavily enforced IP regulations.
We have forgotten how to be grateful for coming into this world at all, leaving us unworthy of being here.
My father always taught me that the best things in life are free: he was, of course, referring to nature, its amazing gifts and the amazing wonders that we still do not understand.
Nature took a big hit before the time I was born, the world having been converted mostly into farmland, but with some original spaces still preserved to enable us to see how nature would be if we didn’t have to grow food. At that time we were encouraged to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors.
We must preserve those areas as one day people will again realise that the internet is not the be all and end all of life, there are more interesting and enjoyable – though less safe – things in the world and your life is better spent enjoying those things than working for the next iphone.
Discovering that will take time. The Chinese like to go on western-style holidays – it is the high class thing to do – where they like to do the activities that westerners would do on holiday, but it is in name only. For example, they will go snorkeling on their holiday, but because they cannot swim, they will wear a life jacket and be in waist deep water looking at sand. They can say they did it, even though they have no idea what real snorkeling over a reef is like, and probably didn’t even see a fish. At least they are trying, but it would be more encouraging if China insisted that all children be taught to swim and spend some time every week exercising in the great outdoors.

A thought went through my head this morning: When will the people of Zimbabwe, who use the US dollar as currency, get that sense of deja vu about the USD currency and then move on to the next currency? What will that replacement currency be?
Your argument demonstrates the main issue: pro-choice women think it is all about them and that they should be able to change their minds regarding their child, especially in the case where they had a few too many drinks the night before and did not behave as an adult … or any other excuse that they feel excuses them of the responsibility of their earlier decision.
Others feel that the person inside the woman should be defended as any other human, that it is not all about the indecisive woman. After all, this is obviously not a next-day decision as the morning after pill is very effective, so this is a missed period / pregnancy test decision.
Of course, this just enforces the widely held opinion that women should not be “put in charge” of anything that requires strong single minded leadership, not because of a lack of intelligence but because of emotional influences over their single mindedness. Alternatively, they were too lazy to do something about it the morning after?
There is the old golden excuse that some women never consider what “might happen” before they have unprotected sex, but I just do not buy that: they make an informed decision which they later regret. It is all about them, fuck the small human they decided to create, that will now be dumped in the trash. Sure, it is a difficult decision for a minority, but certainly not for all when you see the numbers: it is a very popular option.

So the fat lady hasn’t sung and Ritter is no longer a Z-tard.
Only the weak see updates to one’s opinion as weakness. The strong understand that as times change then a review of the facts is required, they have the balls to then update their opinion. Do you think that the military leaders are not changing their minds daily as the situation evolves?
I am always wary of individuals – especially ex military intelligence people – who become esteemed sources of information or opinion for the alternative media. The intelligence industry is surely clever enough to plant people in alternative media, establish their reputation as a reliable source then use them to guide the conversation at critical times during the campaign: the US and UK intelligence agencies will have done this so many times.
For me, any change of opinion regarding the tide of victory will require at least one victory declaration from NATO. Azovstal does not count as a NATO victory, despite being PRed that way, but I am sure we will hear when NATO has a victory and then we can start assessing whether NATO is “winning”, whatever that means. In the end Russia can crush Europe just by turning off the gas: Russia is not in trouble if they are not even using their big sticks.

I often wonder what it takes for a person to question the official narratives spewed daily by our masters.
It is not just questioning, I know two intelligent engineers who have questioned the vaccines, but they still go out and get jabbed, despite knowing that they do not work. These people do not need to get jabbed for any particular reason, such as a job etc, but they still do it. Maybe it is spousal pressure, but something overrides their logical thinking and they do it. My suspicion is that they have very strong emotional components to their decision making, maybe they feel strong empathy for the group or the system. Strangely, when I ask them why they got vaxxed, they do not really have an answer, they are not able to clearly state why.
Of course, there are the others who I consider retards, these are the people who go out and get vaxxed first day, then text everybody about how they got the jab, feeling that they are the cool kids. These are mostly intelligent people too but I put it down to insecurity and dependence on the system. They love the system, they want to do what they can for the system, they will not consider a bad word said against the system.
In all cases, these people remind me of the safety instructions on an aeroplane: put your oxygen mask on first before you help anybody else to put on their mask. For a minority of us this is natural and does not need saying, but for the majority they would naturally put on little Jimmy’s mask first and only then look after themselves. The vaxxed are these people, they do not make decisions logically, they are driven by emotion first and logic second. They are ripe for being manipulated.

As for the comments, man, I have seen more sense in the chimpanzee cage than at ZH. Their only credit is that they are anti-establishment, but it is all fake.

China is only locking down exporting port cities.
China is not locking down the pearl river delta or Hong Kong, so there must be something specific to Shanghai and Beijing as the other huge ports are working.
I suspect that part of the reason may be that the business sector – Zemin’s power base – is seen as pro-western, so by locking down the business sector any collaboration between the west and their business interests in Shanghai, is weakened. This could easily be justified on a national security basis which is likely to be the CCP internal justification for such extended lockdowns, Xi being the inheritor of the security service and military power bases.
On January 18, 2022, with no public awareness, officials from the Biden Administration sent the World Health Organization these extensive amendments to strengthen WHO’s ability to unilaterally intervene into the affairs of nations merely suspected of having a “health emergency” of possible concern to other nations.
Now we know why Gates is funding WHO, another reason Biden-the-most-corrupt was installed as president and why a crook from Ethiopia-the-most-corrupt was promoted to lead WHO. What a great scam: remove sovereignty from countries one small bit at a time until Davos rules the world.
We will know a lot more about the Davos plan if both China and Russia also decide to sign up to the Gates-WHO global take over. All the sovereignty-traitors will have to reveal themselves. We already know a lot of them: Trudeau, Ardern, Morrisson, Macron, Marin, Andersson, Scholz etc.
We already know that Gates is an enemy of humanity and the USA – look how many people he has injured with vaccines yet he still walks free – but now he is vying fot the humanity-enemy-number-one spot and will no-doubt continue to walk free.
