    This, I feel, applies to covid arguments: ever notice how people tend to want* you to be more like them when you point out what you perceive as flaws in their logic or that of their behavior (little difference between the two online, but it’s there)?
    *judging by their remarks

    It’s interesting. The current kerfluffling tempest in a teapot regarding ‘right and proper’ TAE mores functionally echoes the same basic dynamics by which covid enthusiats (my new term for mainstreamers) attempt to refute, shame, or even coerce coviphobics like us into Just Going Along — with the jab, with this or that unsubstantiated mandate*.

    *for example, what is on topic, what is proper free speech and what isn’t proper free speech, and other oxymoronical non sequiturs which mostly translate into ‘you kids get offa my lawn!’ or ‘whay can’t you be more like us?’

    Reading this has just improved your rhetorical hygiene, discursive rigor, ability to integrate discrete data sets without resorting to hobgooblin certitudes, and generally cleaning out the air filter of the mind. Happy to do it:)

    Why yes, I resemble that remark:

    Airhead

    P.S. This is what you get from google when you google ‘airhead’ images — link not shared cuz it’s too huge, I’m sure, for WP’s run-down difference engines. But try it, under images. YOu’ll probably agree with me that what you see is at least… discouraging.

    fwiw, I’ve had this Geert Van Den Bossche covid paper on my FB page since early yesterday morning PST time and no censors have knocked on my door yet.

    But hardly anyone reads my FB posts, I’m sure, so the ‘bots have probably flagged my account for closer observation.

    (Someone expressed concern that Bossche was a “mole”. It’s an excellent suspicion, but I think Bossche is genuine. His work is too precise, imo, for the mainstream minions we’ve seen touting the official narrative.)

    Same guy:

    Sunday Morning
    Down the road someone is practicing scales,
    The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
    Man’s heart expands to tinker with his car
    For this is Sunday morning, Fate’s great bazaar;
    Regard these means as ends, concentrate on this Now,
    And you may grow to music or drive beyond Hindhead anyhow,
    Take corners on two wheels until you go so fast
    That you can clutch a fringe or two of the windy past,
    That you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time
    A small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme.
    But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Open its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.

    Received this in my email today:

    Dear Valued Patient,

    I wanted to reach out to those of our patients who have not yet been vaccinated against Covid. Our doctors include Democrats, Republicans and Independents, but we are united in urging you to get vaccinated. I would like to outline some of the reasons for our opinion.

    First, Covid cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans before the miracle of rapid development of a vaccine slowed the death toll from the thousands each day. Now the rise of the more infectious Delta variant of Covid is reversing this progress

    Second, the vaccine is clearly protective. 97-99% of Americans now being hospitalized and dying of Covid are unvaccinated

    Third, the vaccine has been given to over 350 million people with remarkably few serious side effects. Few other medicines have been given to so many people with so few major side effects. The idea of waiting to see what happens to other people may have had validity in January, but it doesn’t any more given how many people have been treated.

    Fourth, people in other countries are dying in large numbers because they don’t have enough vaccine. Only in the United States are such large numbers of people refusing this protection.

    Please get one of the vaccines against Covid to protect yourself before you get sick

    If you don’t want to get it for yourself, get it to protect friends and family members from catching the virus from you.

    If you don’t want to get it for friends and family members, please get it to protect those vulnerable people, from immunocompromised cancer patients to young children, for whom vaccine is either not approved or where it is less protective.

    If you don’t want to get it for others in your community, please get it as an act of patriotism to help our country recover. There are few things anyone can do in July 2021 to help America more than helping stop the spread of this deadly disease. As President Kennedy famously said,” Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

    Our doctors and nurses would be happy to talk further to address your concerns and answer your questions about Covid vaccination. Please remember that the vaccine is free and available both at Fanno Creek Clinic and many other locations

    Wishing everyone health and happiness,

    Gregg Coodley M.D.

    Medical Director, Fanno Creek Clinic

    ^&*

    My reply:

    Such recommendations lower the medical credibility of Fanno Creek Med Clinic. Everything about the “vaccines” used by Euromerican medicine is disastrous, beginning with the bogus definition and the grounds for Emergency Use Authorization (the false claim that there are not other, cheaper, safer, more effective and more reliable therapies out there).

    And since when did viruses vote?

    Be annoyed with me now. Remember my words a year from now and feel awkward looking in your mirror.

    ciao,

    Robin Morrison

    @ John Day

    Robin is my functional name. (I recall some folks here mistook me for a woman because of that.)

    Establishing terms: the word ‘friend’ to me is a term of love albeit platonic, agape, whatever. Robin-bosco-madamski offers this gauge of explanation: to like is to approve, to love is to accept. (There is a butt-load of unacceptance around here, beginning with difficulty accepting personal truth despite a willingness to face unpleasant political facts.) So, if by ‘friend’ you mean ‘like’, then we have competing cliques, affiliation networks, centered around mutual approval of some of us according to mutually approved beliefs. One is either in or out, or staying out of it altogether, or straddling the fence.

    There are many people here whom I dislike and dislike me. Popularity ratings, more or less, based on individual likes/dislikes, even loves/hates. Either way, this stuff doesn’t amount to much.

    There is no one here that I hate. There are a few here that I actively love, yourself being one of them. There are others that I ‘passively’ love, which is to say that I don’t hate them despite them being very unlikable to me. I try, with much pathetic failure, to love everyone who posts here. But I pay little attention to my like or dislike of whomever, because those checques typically evaporate before they can be cashed. Passing mood swings based on ego-driven, mostly fear-based, impressions.

    Those are the terms by which I say that, imo, we are hardly all friends here any more than we were hardly all friends with our fellow classmates in grammar/high school and beyond.

    In the end, “we” here are just so many pieces of text.

    btw, why do I love you? Because I see you project yourself positively into others every day. You make yourself available. Where your tires meet the tarmac, you earnestly engage with best wishes aforethought, and how can I not love that?

    @ madamski
    I thought you were a woman. I love your mind anyway. You remind me a little of my godmother. Interesting. Such is the virtual world

    What a lovely thing to say. While I am very much a man and then some per conventional Euromerican modes and mores, I much prefer the company of woman to men, have never related to classic/standard Euromerican male culture, and tell people that I am a ‘girly-man’: I am much more interested and find greater value in those things socially deemed ‘woman stuff’.

    But I wear my wife’s nightgowns around the house cuz they’re so comfy. If only I was gay, I would make the best friend a girl ever had.

    &*(

    @Boscohorowitz-RobinMorrison-Madamski:
    So what’s the relationship with Dr.D?

    I know maybe as much about Dr. D as you do and probably less: you’ve hung around TAE longer than me.

    “I think we’re all friends here, and you were pulling it off just fine until you started smoking so much pot.”

    We’re not all friends here per my perspective. That’s a lovely sentiment but I don’t see much truth in it. There are a few people here who’ve done for me one of the main things a good positive friend is for: touched me cognitively in ways that left me feeling enriched. You’re one of them.

    I stopped maintaining the disguise within a month, and from there let the smell of an Englishman fe-fi-fo gradually forth. I only used the madamski disguise because I’d rubbed Raul’s nose in his disrespect of identity, comparing me and another TAE member to 15-yr old girls and then ignoring requests for clarification: the 15-yr old remark had come across as an insult but I hadn’t wanted to assume, hence my question. 3 times. Each time asked by itself, clarion posting, one per day. The other TAE member Raul compared to a 15-yr old girl, who still participates and is a brand name TAE poster, also asked for clarification. We both got *crickets*. Raul didn’t feel it was worth answering, so I deduced from this that fidelity between online identity and real identity wasn’t worth bothering with here.

    I felt like hanging around TAE some more so I tried the alias thing. It was fun enough but I much prefer being just me.

    What’s in that new shit you scored?
    Is it A-D-U-L-T-E-R-A-T-E-D ?

    Yes, but D-I-S-C-R-E-T-E-l-Y.;)

    Got a sock-mask? I still have mine on my dresser.

    I foresee opportunities to make/sell high-quality sock masks when the REAL sickness gets going and people take this shit seriously on their own, sans TV sock puppets like “Dr.” Fauci.

    I feel that I’ve gotten what benefit there is to be had from participating in TAE discourse, and what little benefit I might have to offer has been given, so I’ll mostly lurk these days.

    Btw, as many here already know, believe, or suspect, madamski is a former TAE poster known at that time on TAE as boscohorowitz and in real life as Robin Morrison who can be found on Facebook under his original birthname, Robert West, a 65-year old hetero male who has been known by civilization as Robin Morrison since being adopted at age 7 and is fully in touch with his feminine side but finds that when he dons the gay attire of women’s clothes he just feels like a man in a dress. A little breezier, perhaps, but no less masculine, whatever that means.

    If anyone has a problem with this deception, let me know, and I will explain my reasons for doing so, which are not entirely frivolous. I have very much enjoyed being madamski, have learned much from donning her imaginary perspective, and rather wish I was her; but she is a character from a novel I’m working on, and works better as a creature of dreams than a person in flesh.

    However, all the stories attributed to her are true. Just change her gender polarity and you have verbatim.

    If we can refrain from monolithic explanations wherein, for example, the sun has gone crazy and is melting car bumpers, we meet find more nuanced, less heliocentric explanation for wild UV events:

    Glare from energy-efficient windows can melt siding, vehicles

    “Posted May 5, 2014 5:30 p.m. EDT
    Updated May 6, 2014 1:20 p.m. EDT
    APEX, N.C. — Energy-efficient windows make up more than 90 percent of all new window installations in the U.S., according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders. But they can become problematic for homeowners when sunlight bounces off the windows and is so intense that it can melt siding on houses and parts of vehicles.
    Weeks after moving into a new home in Apex in December, Michelle Curtis noticed that plastic parts of her SUV had bubbled and melted.
    “It was pretty unbelievable,” she said. “It’s like, could this really be happening? Could the reflection of the sun on a window of a house do this kind of damage to a vehicle?”
    Experts say it is possible. The windows, which use low-emissivity glass, can act like a magnifying glass and reflect the sun’s rays. Clear glass reflects about 10 percent of sunlight’s energy, but low-e windows, which have a green tint, reflect 30 to 50 percent, according to NAHB.
    ”

    If sunlight were frying insects, evolved over many aeons everything from cold fog to raw insolation, life in general would be dropping like flies. There are many things involved in the ruination of the current biospheric configuration, most of them with us as the causative center, alas.

    We can always blame the sun, though. Makes a nifty basis for sacrificing live infants. And yes, I know the sun has been doing funny things: the sun’s a funny thing: a steady-state thermonuclear explosion around 5-6(?) billion years old.

    “Generally with vaccines problems turn up soon after vaccination, not years later.”

    Are you able to tell us how this vaccine is similar to previous vaccines? If not, then how does “generally” apply? Fwiw, my understanding is that the ADE Bossche spoke of is a thing that takes 18-24 months in the case I saw cited.

    And now, a potoo birds speaks:Song of the Potoo

    “A little over 8 years ago I had a NDE with a soul shaking white light experience that changed me forever (at least during my human conversance) ~ In a microsecond I realized that I was part of the Infinite light, that I was directly connected to Everything, that I (along with ALL my siblings in the Universe) are unconditionally loved, never judged & that the Infinite was far, FAR beyond our limited human-based cognizance. And that if I asked for the Power to clear my emotions/thoughts I could touch the face of God, in the Now, for a few fleeting moments at a time.
    Most importantly, my EGO was not part that NDE, nor would it do anything but distract from the Infinite ~ I have to surrender my EGO Self & embrace my inner spirit NOW connection ~ The darkness has no -0- power over the Light. It’s like a dark room, once you hit the light switch the darkness is gone.
    “When I was 6-7 I came upon two older boys that had captured a lizard in a lot next to my family’s apartment in Costa Mesa on a brilliant summer day. They turned to me in a maniacal glee & said “Watch this! We’re gonna blow the head of this lizard with a firecracker“…
    I was horrified before, during, after, compelling the li’ terrorists to accuse me of cowardice for trying to stop them & becoming disturbed by their murderous fun. My step-father told me they were just boys being boys, but I knew even then that was psychopath behavior. Such is the cruel, selfish dark child EGO if left to fester unimpeded.
    “That which is born from flesh is flesh, and that which is born from The Spirit is spirit.
    Although scripture is FAR from a compendious source on the Loving, Healing, Creative Power of the Universe, the teachings of Masters who walked in the Light should be taught, revered & followed for those that seek Peace that passes all understanding… But alas, we live in a time where the child EGO reigns, addicted to approval, always lusting for the next dealer du jour to appease the dark mind.
    “The Infinite judges no one; To do so would be an illogical incongruity just based on the Infinite availability of Truth, Love & Peace to all, regardless of any & all transgression.
    “It is only the human mind (EGO) that judges & lacks forgiveness…
    “Ego-maniacal thinking is the result of a desperate child EGO that refuses to surrender & everything is “about FUN”

    I enjoyed this very much. I hate to say it, but it was even fun. 😉 I would say something like namaste’ but have too often heard that used a passive-aggressive sanctimonious insult, so I’ll just quote Louis:

    Dubaian drone rain brought discussion of global climate wobbliness. If we can agree that the weather is seriously wonked, for whatever reason (“…that’s no moon… turn this ship around…”), that’s good. Because that is solid data we can run through computer models (have been for decades) and see what to anticipate: pretty much what’s happening.

    Having established that, it would be nice if we did something about it other than stick pins in Gore voodoo dolls while pointing out again and again that alt/renewables are, like every other business in town, a scam. Obviously nothing will be done with carbon credits except run distraction scams, which is par. Meanwhile we have things to prepare for. Call me unimaginative, but somehow I think that drone-storm flooding is not one of them. Funny how we can deny out of hand the very idea that global climate disruption might be anthropogenic but we can envision vast Ming of Mongo drone storms raining colossal cloudbursts for days on end.

    The Artifical Reign of the Rain Drones

    No biggie. Just this weird bias/contradiction I often encounter regarding Man vs Nature explanations of What the Fuck is Wrong?. Like: HAARP is real but anthropogenic climate change isn’t? That is one major contradiction in conceptual terms.

    Where to? That level of control also implies a matching level of internet censorship if TPTB like. I don’t think that a single source is the answer. We’re already sectioned off into echo chambers. Most people watching Jimmy Dore don’t watch MNSBC et vice versa.

    fwiw, I think that we’re the media buzz generator. People who are skeptical speaking to other people, especially those who aren’t skeptical. Gotta start somewhere. But we’re conditioned to start at the top. Everything is trickle-down these days.

    As for critics, well, boo to you too:

    I say: aim for the stars: you might shoot a paparazzi. 😉

    Paranoia reflects itself in the object of its fear. Hence, we will turn from trusting our government maybe a little more than not, at least about core issues, to trusting them even less than not at all. We’ll project, for example, enormous overlord superpowers onto our leaders and super-wealthy as if they were Genghis Khan (who obviously did have the equivalent of political superpowers). For one example.

    But that’s just a matter of flavor and degree. Virtually all of us do this to some level and in some direction(s). I, for example, am always thinking google has become even dumber than it has already devolved until I remember that my mind can forget or mix a name in a heartbeat if I’m distracted while thinking en write, so the reason I keep getting Diana Ross when I want Dinah Shore is cuz I keep typing Dinah Ross. (Ah, the misty wonders of cannabis.)

    It’s built into the dynamic of the Shrinking Trust Horizon, yes? So as we become more suspicious, the PTPTB become even less credible THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE. They could stop Donald Trump from shooting someone in the street (to get re-elected, of course) and not get credit for it, not be believed, or if believed be suspected of staging it for political benefit.

    Which puts them at huge disadvantage. About the time they really need to be believed, about the time the crisis is so genuine and dire they are for once not calling false-flag wolf, we won’t believe them if they said one and one equals two.

    Question for me is: has their AI gotten to the place where it lets them watch that credibility gap closure and time their moves adroitly, tells them when to run from behind the curtain and down the secret tunnel if they have one and it’s still secret (minions leak, everyone leaks, and the entire ruling cabal is at the age where it needs Depends)? When to slip out through the crack where the camera lens filter flips from the crediverse to the incrediverse? Not sure what that would actually look like but it seems highly nodal, to say the least.

    “No harm no foul. (GIFs on the other hand, please, stop. MySpace anyone?)”

    I see the point. Gifs are intrusive media, when posted to play, although the same is true of mere static images. I would willingly submit to a ‘link to images only’ policy, because some things, once seen, can’t be un-. A de facto caveat emptor. They don’t bother me, but I’m not everybody. (I think? 😉 )

    “I get why Taibbi needs to charge for his journalism, certainly worth being paid for. But linking to partial articles is a little frustrating.”

    OK, but one CAN pay to read if one so chooses. Orlov’s stuff, for example, is paywall and usually worth paying for if one is sufficiently intrigued.

    “And we were worried how the media would survive without Trump….Right from TDS to CDS!”

    Well said. I hadn’t thought of it in those terms although it’s obvious.

    “Oh well. We probably need more government, more helping, and more UBI.”

    It’s funny. From a utopian perspective, which is what secular humanism is about and what we would all prefer except a few rotten grapes, UBI made perfect sense in the Modern Era circa 1890-1950. Not saying that it would work: these are human beings we’re talking about. But it made sense. We’d realized we could create gargantuan surplus with science, wide open spaces stolen from aborigines, and fossil fuels. Technically, that would’ve been a good time that UBI could’ve been applied without necessarily being massively destructive but merely painfully instructive.

    It would’ve at least emphasized the concept of COMMONwealth rather than kings rule/all else drool.

    Indeed.

    One thing I adore about Dr. D is his way with extreme metaphors. Cat fight on a hot tin roof! So I go to the Kunstler piece and find this:

    “I used to enjoy Ian, but as things have trended and like most on the “left”, they just prove that they want to tell people how to live their lives more and more each day that passes.”

    Chevy/Ford? It wasn’t that long ago, if two decades aren’t long ago, that it was mostly the “right” telling us what to do, like invade a zillion ME nations to bring democracy and free falafels to all while deftly removing imaginary WMDs from Drs. Evil & Hide.

    Why do I address this? Because it’s divisive. Especially from a guy who wants to form a People’s Party. I think the readership of TAE already have a working understanding of what the two alleged sides of Das Duopoly claim to be about vs what they are generally really about.

    It’s like choosing between shades of dog shit and then pointing out how much you dislike one more than the other. Bias confirmation alert: I eagerly await to see the logical contradictions you employ in response, while considering that the first clause of this sentence will imo likely incline you to clam up, while also considering how the second clause will imo likely incline you to speak up.

    Thesis, antithesis,… oh, what-ev-ah.

    Tried to make it one big omnibus post but the ‘boys couldn’t handle it. So, in chunks:

    “someone” said: On another note: from yesterdays debt rattle by Ilargi;
    No-one’s getting booted or blocked. While quite a few perhaps could blab a bit less.
    The response was predictable; passive aggresive, blah, blah, blah…
    Unfortunate given our host offers uncensored commenting for all posters…Unfortunate given our host offers uncensored commenting for all posters…
    A few, abuse that privilage with the majority of comments on any given post; discouraging many of us from saying anything further…

    ‘I think you break the wrong rules’, says someone whom madamski perceives as a reactionary, sometimes passive-aggressive, unpedantic bourgeoisie sanctimonious person.

    I think you obey the wrong rules, says the self-defined autonomous person known online as madamski.

    No one is discouraging you from speaking your mind, V. Arnold; you are discouraging yourself and then blaming it on others who do not feel your discouragement. I’ve heard that one of conservatism’s bedrock principles is the concept of taking responsibility for one’s own actions. Daddy, the bad womanz talks a lot and it discouwages me!

    This is Ilargi’s home, so-to-speak, and not respecting that is abuse; pure and simple…

    This is indeed Raul’s home, and it is up to HIM to define what is and isn’t abuse. Vague snarky remarks, by you, or for that matter, by Raul, are hardly that definition. To think that one’s personal definition is Raul’s, or universally correct, is merely one’s opinion, and opinions overlap heavily with delusion, btw.

    “Given most of us are adults (?) I don’t think discretion is a step too far…”

    Define what is and isn’t respectful of Ilargi’s domain, get Raul’s confirmation, and I’ll take you seriously as something more than an old fool like me hollering at kids to get offa my lawn. Is using some profanity too much? Is honestly expressing the contempt one feels for others who express their contempt of others too much too handle? Did Raul knight you to define and protect Raul’s home?

    “…adults(?)” followed by the evasive snark of “Stay classy, y’all” (with, among other non sequiturs, and it’s implication that the classiness of the one speaking is a priori established), is not what I consider ‘classy’.

    Fwiw, this notion that “staying classy” essentially overlaps with “be nice” is childish bullshit, social development retarded at the kindergarten level. We’re grownups. We hit when hit back – or should, imo. It’s kind of our job, part of that thing called taking responsibility for oneself, part of that weird thing called ‘survival’. We deserve the shit we put up with. We didn’t ask for it, but if we tolerate it, we’ve deserved it for ourselves.

    “Be Nice” is Big Brother’s favorite mantra. The current liberal nightmare uses it as a Founding Principle, typically applied VERY passive-aggressively.
    Middle English: from Old French deservir, from Latin deservire ‘serve well or zealously’.

    a trillion to five billionaires

    Used to be you had to melt the coints and mix them with cheaper metal, or print a forest’s worth of paper money, to ruin your own fortunes. Nowadays they just push a few computer buttons and voila! their fortunes become worthless.

    Now, I’m sure we’ll all sit still and be nice when they try a reset. Oh, a reset must happen, but it will be an all-engulfing crash, a holocaust conflagration, and these goons will find themselves feeling a lot like Hitler in his final days.

    Megalomania is a form of mental illness, not a leadership skill.

    More American voters want the 2020 BLM riots investigated than Democrat probe of Capitol ‘insurrection’ – poll

    The tide appars to be turning. But it will prove to be the withdrawal before the tsunami, I think.

    911 was an inside job, right? SO, methinks, is the controlled demolition of Biden by hios handlers:

    CNN: Fact check: Biden makes false claims about Covid-19, auto prices and other subjects at CNN town hall

    There’s also an element of damage control in this, but damage control while achieving complete destruction is the essence of controlled demolition, right?
