Bureaucrats bloviating with all their media might does not a seafaring wind make. You can’t make a boat sail by mounting a giant fan on your deck and aiming it at the sails. The official colvid narrative has already been mortally wounded and is now spasming on deck like a hooked shark. It still hasd a nasty bite but it ain’t going anywhere but gone.
The WSJ endorsed Ivermectin. Game over. Just residual slosh left. THe conservative backlash all this has created is just now visible on the sea horizon, a tsunami on the way.
Soon, the water will recede and the experts will call it over: Covid Cured, more or less.
And then, the tide will come back in, if people like Van Den Bossche are right, and if the genetic manufacture of protein spikes among the vaccinated proves as toxic as evidence strongly suggests.
Things should get really interesting about then, I’m thinking.
“I confess the original quote from Bokonon is still not working for my brain…”
Pedants with college degrees. Doctors dispensing bad/wrong/deceitful information because their fellow experts told them what to believe, and how could the average ignorant unwashed American possibly be smarter/know more than a college-degreed pedant?
That is the attitude I see the Bokon quote describing.
absolute galore
I’m pretty sure those darned kids refers to the medical bureaucrats chastized by the Missouri Republican consultant. 🙂
those darned kids made me look up bokonon. In the Seventh Book of Bokonon, we read:
“The Seventh Book: Bokonon’s Republic
[ “…a whole book about Utopias”. [ 126 ] ]“The hand that stocks the drug stores rules the world.
“Let us start our Republic with a chain of drug stores, a chain of grocery stores, a chain of gas chambers, and a national game. After that we can write our Constitution.”
“If true, it would be game changing (a first?!). A virus that becomes more transmissible and more lethal at the same time. For now, don’t buy it.”
This looks like what Van Den Bossche describes as a likely outcome of das jab: variants both more infectious and virulent.

And since we spend so much time dancing, in effect, around the idol of Ba’al, if mostly in a trance of wretched fixated fear (hardly unjustified), let’s get some music to jig it with:
DAN DEL SANTO
If Austin music ever boasted a real outlaw in its ranks, it was Dan Del Santo. His music was always one step ahead of the pack, and he died a federal fugitive living outside the law. Del Santo was a purveyor of country and bluegrass when he moved to Austin from his native New York in 1974. He quickly formed the Professors of Pleasure and began his evolution from country and bluegrass into jazz and blues and outward. In 1979 he appeared on Austin City Limits, but his interests were taking a 180-degree turn. Inspired by Caribbean and reggae music and the upsurge in African bands beginning to tour the States, Del Santo’s music took on a pan-American sound bolstered by African, Cuban, and reggae rhythms. He ruled the airwaves of KUT with his World Beat show, originating the term and acting as its major proponent. The phrase “world beat” was quickly picked up and brought Del Santo a measure of fame, but life as a musician made it difficult to support a family of three kids, and Del Santo supplemented his income selling marijuana. His well-publicized bust in 1992 saw the end of his musical career in the States when he fled the country rather than be railroaded by the justice system. Ultimately settling in Oaxaca, Mexico, Dan Del Santo picked up his guitar and started performing under the name the Blues Demon with his band Perros del Sol. He died in Oaxaca in 2001, a free man and folk hero but far from home and family. — Margaret Moser“MadamC- DUH. Aren’t we all from the past?”
I’ve always wanted to go into a bank or doctor’s office and gravelky tell them with amazing detail that I am from the future, really, I know it sounds crazy, but that’s time travel. But the partner in crime that would’ve p[rovided the backup necessary to keep me from going to the psych ward if maybe a bit of prison, died of AIDS before I could convince him to do it.
I mean, all he would’ve had to do was vouch for my sanbity. Is that so much?;)
Between covid, locusts, smoke,a flaming farce of a government, now with Joe Biden, the man with the combover mind grinning like a Lizard Person just dying to rip off that meatskin and get slithery with it… I think maybe we should reconsider Argentina. If it worked for the S.S. it could work for us:
Another example of the “ducal signet” syndrome, this time to appease/maintain credibility with covid skeptics/realists:

fwiw, here is a background story on Dr Robert Malone. WHile written by his wife, it provides ample details to be vetted: it sticks its neck out, has skin in the game. I’ll guess it’s mostly honest and reliably accurate:
Yes, Malonew Invented mRna Vaccine Tech

“And how does a unique Mormon upbringing differ from the standard Mormon upbringing?”
Chicago’s first North Side Ward, Logan Square, was my church from infancy to getting out of it at age 16. LOvely old building with serious stained glass windows and pigeons on the air balcony at the back of the peanut gallery, uh, mezzanine? (upstairs seating).
In the 60s, leaving at 16 in ’74.
A 1/3 of the congregation was college students doing Big Degrees: medical/law/engineering. Young dudes back from their mission, early-to-late 20s. Reading sci-fi. In a Democratic town where I saw first hand much of that civil rights stuff.
Compared to what I’ve since learned about the lockdown mindset of what some of us call ‘Utah Mormons’, with their straight-ticket GOP and closet fundie freak issues, and this general… boringness that passeth all understanding…. I was raised in a wild religious hippy commune. 😉
Assymetric versus asymetric means asinine asymetric warfare, which we can turn into, if we choose, assymimetric warfare aka assymimes at play.
Of course, asymetric war is nothing new. Just means someone invented a new weapon that is nodally transformative. The iron stirrup in 7th/8th century which allowed mounted armored knights. Everything about Genghis Khan’s Golden Horde including their superficial appearance of being just another army way too heavy on arrows but durn good with horses. Gunpowder. Gatling gun. Tanks. Nuclear weapons. ICBMs. Satellites. Global comm networks. Global air travel. Global finance. (not necessarily in that order)
If it yields power, it will be weaponized: we’re only human.
So, ultimately, asymetrical warfare is a fancy term for West Point smarty-pants to make their papers sound important. Not that they don’t understand the significance. A week or three after 911, Ira Glass of NPR’s This American Life did a segment on military brass watching the telly in a bar when The Towers did their mythologically resonant Star Wars collapse.
“Well, there goes America,” they said, in so many words, and used this term new to me, asymetrical warfare.
The current situation vis a vis asymetrical? It’s so uniformly asymetrical that it’s symetrical: everything is falling to pieces, with everyone bitching at everyone about every little thing, that the disintegration is eerily smooth and uniform (something William Gibson did get right, even as he endorsed the gradualist ‘vote the lesser evil’ nonsense that is the core driver of this smooth, yet all the more deadlier for it, disintegration.
I hope no one thinks I’m proselytising when I say the following. Hell, I rarely step into a church. But here goes: REAL asymetrical warfare is when Jesus and the Mystery Angelaliens return, trailing clo9uds of glory and all that divinely macho shit.
I was looking for an obscure cartoon about Reagan’s first Secretary of the Interior, James Watts, who famously thrashed anti-pollution/environmental protection regulations with the justification that “Jesus is Coming Soon” so use it up now while we can. In the cartoon, he holds that message in a sign. He is followed by popular wildlife: a deer, a bear, a squirrel, etc. holding signs saying things like ‘And he’s looking for you’, ‘cuz he’s pissed’, and ‘you in a heap o trubble, boy’..
No luck, but this popped up and seemed perfectly neo-Hollywood per our times:
Me, I got no horse in that race. I wanna Redeemer, and I dig clouds of trailing glory, but it’s none of my business whom such a deity might want to hammer.
“Vengeance is mine,” saith the Lord or Someone Who sounds just like Hir.
Meanwhile, back at the Christ residence, Little Jesus, Jr. is fucking with shit hE’s not supposed to:

Dr. D’s consideration of clairvoyance as a driver competes with Perfectly Laid Overlord plans. But not in a zero-sum way. Plenty room for both. In fact, no reason why Bill Gates can’t experience prophetic dreams that he grossly misinterprets because… have you SEEN a picture of him? He’s a chess club nerd. They tend to stop developing at age 11 with a perpetual 14-year old hardon. Not much blood gets to that brain outside its obsessive channels hogging all ther juice.
That boy just ain’t right.
My knowledge of the 4 Horsemen is ancient, going back to a unique kind of Mormon upbringing, and all the popular literature written about End Times, etc., especially sci-fi. That’s what I get for trusting my memory.

“This would be why Greenspan went nuts stopping Y2K, which otherwise didn’t seem that bad,”
It was bad. We fixed it. How? Out-sourced data programmers.
Why? Business owners not wanting to lose their shirts, including the likes of the Fed.
Mr. Greenspan said:
“I’m one of the culprits who created this problem. I used to write those programs back in the 1960s and 1970s, and was proud of the fact that I was able to squeeze a few elements of space out of my program by not having to put a 19 before the year. Back then, it was very important. We used to spend a lot of time running through various mathematical exercises before we started to write our programs so that they could be very clearly delimited with respect to space and the use of capacity. It never entered our minds that those programs would have lasted for more than a few years. As a consequence, they are very poorly documented. If I were to go back and look at some of the programs I wrote 30 years ago, I would have one terribly difficult time working my way through step-by-step.”
—Alan Greenspan, 1998[19]While I am all for the time-traveler being real, I’ll note that there are older traditions of explanation:
Factoid Hexadecimal code
“Computers “think” in Binary code, or Base Two. But that is very hard for humans to read, so computer programmers have a special code they use when talking to computers; it’s called Hexadecimal Code. It’s easier to read than Binary code, but a whole lot harder to read than English! As computers get more sophisticated, we programmers use hexadecimal less and less, but we still use it sometimes. For instance, I wanted to color this page dark purple, I wouldn’t tell the computer to paint it “dark purple”, I would tell the computer to paint it “#440044″, and the computer understood exactly what I meant (see the link about colors at the bottom of this page for more information about encoding colors).”
Close enough to 666 for many eople back then to think Y2K, along with bar-code scanning, was the Number of the Beast. That mytho-magical thinking still makes sense to me now. PLausible plot device, let’s say.
I see no reason to disclude Mr. Time-Traveler from such outlines, but for me personally he doesn’t cut it as a lead actor. More like a quirky but catalytic figure played by an equally quirky charatcer actor like Crispin Glover.
I think that clairvoyance is both real and common but typically lost in the noise of modern hyper-stimulated/hypnotized mental reality.
“Hmmm, now what could this “Jackpot” be? I’ll just have to think long and hard on that one, I will!”
Gibson is adamant that there is in his fiction, nor will be in reality, One BIg Thing to end it all. Just a gradually expanding clusterfuck. As we see happening daily since way back to the age of the Pharaohs, but let’s stick to1900. You can see a dramatic uptick in destructive insanity hand-in-hand with scientific progress (or so it’s called).
Regarding China using bioweapons to reduce USA population so it can invade: plasuible.
Same guy who cites Gibson wrote:
“Scenario 2: Tin Foil Hats
This scenario is one where we posit (merely as a thought experiment) that the conspiracy theories around Coronavirus could be true. These range from it being a weaponized virus that either escaped, or was unleashed, to the assertion that the entire Coronavirus hysteria is a hoax, perpetrated by Global Elites (probably the Lizard People) in order to take down the economy and institute worldwide martial law. In this scenario we might be in the early innings of World War Three, only the war isn’t being fought with bombs and bullets, it’s being fought with biological agents and weaponized financial derivatives.”I suspect he feels he should use dismissive terms like ‘tin foil hat’ and ‘lizard people’ to remain credible to much of his paying audience.
THis is a headline from a Feb 202 article:
“China and Russia adopt ‘one team’ mindset on COVID vaccines vs US
Neighbors deepen cooperation as Washington vows to ‘distrust but verify'”I see this supporting the idea of China invading via bioweapon genocide. It suggests two allies working together to make sure they don’t fuck up the vaccines they need to be safe from said bioweapon.
Me, I think we have obvious economic warfare by the Rus/China/Iran axis of itself, first of all, then secondly, an accidental release of something that could or could not be a biowepaon, finished or incomplete, and China/Rus working closely, once the cat got out of the bag, and Putin made that call to Xi, saying, “Talk, motherfucker. We’re allies not friends. What the fuck have you done now?”
Both nations are using REAL vaccines and taking this very seriously. Meanwhile, Euromerica and satellites are destroying themselves not via biowepaon but by classic very-late-stage empire collapse, the age marked by a success of leaders that make you asks, Is heshe that evil or that stupid? (beginning with Reagan, I feel), with Poppy and Clenis leaning the question toward Evil, Dubya setting the bar toward Stupid, Obama leaning it back toward Evil, Trump trashing the entire scale, lord love him, and Biden unable to remember the question in the first place.
If the USA population shrinks small enough, yeah, we’d be easy to own. We might beg to be occupied.
But even without an internal covid populaton decimation, China will be in no position to invade for awhile. It would have to majorloy retool its factories for making quality not shyte, and reset its currency to where ti could play the “guns AND butter” ploy long enough to properly occupy North America.
Putin wouldn’t sign on for it because he has a proper fair psychopathic sense of justice: he knows that karma is real, and more than taking care of your own is begging for trouble.
So, I say: plausible but not likely.
P.S. Last I knew, Gibson was hiding behind TDS like most famous rich people. Brilliant writer, brilliant thinker, total renegade. But you gotta love this quote: “If someone claiming to be from the future had shown me Boris Johnson I’d have told him to fuck off.”
By now, I suspect Gibson’s realized we’re not living under a conservative fascism a la Trump but, rather, a superficially, nominally liberal fascism under which lies something richer and stranger, with a Jack-in-the-Box sock puppet the so-called lesser evil making it increasingly hard not to wish you at least had a wildman like Donald fucking things up than a bought’n’sold Depends spokesperson fucking things down, down, down…
Re: Taibbi’s recent article and what Raul/Dr. D said about it:
“Although Gibson doesn’t exactly strike me as a MAGA guy in real life, it is interesting to note that in the story, the “real” Earth timeline is one in which it’s implied that Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election (neither “Clinton” or “Trump” are mentioned by name anywhere in the book). However, it’s also the timeline in which a global thermonuclear war erupted around the Syrian conflict.”
That is from this guy, who writes for a presumably highly intelligent crowd.

Anecdotal observation regarding censorship and such:
started using duckduckgo as my search engine. Had stuck with google this far to remain in the belly of the beast and see what’s happening.
The dumbing-down factor has become close to MSNBC level. Same question with duck provided what I used to experience from google. JUst an fyi ground-level grass-root observation.
Let me say one of those things I do that make many people want to kick me in the teeth: by the time opposition to a problem becomes ubiquitous and virtually the only problem deemed worth opposing, one is in a crusade, the battle has already been tipped whichever way it’s going to go, and one’s actions per that crusade are now at best a waste of time.
We’ve not only become an echo chamber, we’ve become so filled with a single topic that you can’t even hear the echoes for the din.
I’ll ask a question based on the metaphor of Xtian End Times prophecy: now that we’ve covered Plague, which of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse do we next expect to arrive in a black swan* paradigm-shattering way?
*apparently, they’re breedingRegarding China buying USA farmland: aw hell, it’s only money. Time comes (sooner than not, methinks), we’ll have both their money and the land it bought, which is not something you can profitably or even affordably load into shipping containers for overseas shipping.
In the short run, it’s probably a powerful financial/economic leveraging tool by China, but that’s nothing new. We’ve been selling ourselves to China for half a century. But soil, farmland… you have to invade and occupy a place to own its farmland. Financial markers will move about in the economic arm-wrestle between China/USA, but whatever “ownership” China has of USA topsoil will be fleeting.

““Where do the children play” ”
A family from the Russian sphere lives in our complex. Theirs are the only sane children in the complex. Physically fit,k nimble, bright, curious, engaging. Whereas all the other kids are weak, overweight, and… just messed up, period.
Little 10-year old girl was picking blueberiies atop a 6′ high concrete retaining wall. Nimbly stepping over wicked thorny blackberry stalks, carring a teal-bowl to hold the berries.
Agile, like a cat. Her mother knew she was up there. Trusted her daughter to be careful.
They shared some berries with us at the pool.
No place for the kids to play any more except at school or the loucky ones who live in houses in real neighborhoods, and those are also more ruined than not, houses expanded/remodeled to eat up half of the yard.
@ Veracious:
I’ve never known Raul to censor. I once thought something like that had happened, early in my posting days here. I asked Raul. It was just the wonky internet we have these days.
I can see your post with the Fauci “medicine show” image, fwiw.
Well, this is mildly refreshing:

The semiotics on this one are off the chart excellent in my eye. It’s the suggestion of pirate patch that puts an already very effective piece of political sarcasm on the top tier of mesmerism by meme. The CIA is SO jealous… except that it probably funded the initial graphix. Keep ’em arguing over who’s the cooler king.
But there’s a subtle undertone of Dr. Evil that I can’t psychologically fit into the rest of the meme-scheme.
Oh… doh. Of course. It’s to keep scaring the Dem side. Wouldn’t want them to be too genuinely contrite. They might take responsibility for their cornpone ass.
Last I knew, we still discussed energy around here. Reviewing recent Nord Stream 2 rapprochements between Germany and Russia, it occurs to me that Russia sells fossil fuel products not just for the money revenue this creates, but also to keep other from invading them for their oil.
Not that Russia is currently at such risk, but the dynamic I mentioned is fundamental realpolitik: first, you have to have something worth taking, then you have to guard against it being taken.
A gonzo but perhaps realpolitikally accurate notion: when Russia feels sufficiently invulnerable, it will do what China did a millennium ago: shut itself off from the world, deeming contact with outsiders pointless and degrading.
Maybe I need to check the grounding on my tinfoil hat. ; )

“If TPTB were successful they wouldn’t mess with the system; If it weren’t broke they wouldn’t be trying to fix it”
There. I need never discuss this with TAEans again. I need only paste the above brilliant axiomatic semantic equation.
I’ll add a third flavor, though. It’s popular: TPTB are demonic or merely sadistic entities bent on making life Hell. The Devil does it to us/makes us do it concept. Extraterrestrial meddlers may apply for honorary recognition.
Me, I say all of the above.
