“I’m embarrassed I voted for Obama (first term ). Was long past falling for his BS by the second term.”
I am a little emnbarrassed but not much. Obama was smooth. Super-bright and articulate. But I willfully looked away when he cast his Senator vote for warrantless surveillance and gave the telcos a pass.
‘He has to go along to get along’, I told myself. ‘He’ll fix it once he’s in office.’
Ah, magical thinnking. Great stuff but don’t try to fix your car with it.
I feel no need to believe they’re trying to kill me or not. What they do per the normative routines of empire per the past two millennia is lethal enough. We have identified the enemy and it is not them; it is our subservience to them, and there is no safe easy way to undo this that can be bought at Costco and successfully employed after some assembly per instructions in Korean gorilla English.
We can call them icky poopy doodoo cacaheads all day long and just tire our lung alveoli.
I will not deny Trump his desire and ability to be heroic. We all have it. I just note that Trump is incapable of effectively doing anything with it because he is a weathervane driven by the bloviations his ego demands. What Trump knows does not necessarily collate with what Trump says.
There.is.no.Trump.derangement.syndrome.at.TAE. Mister Roboto had some and has repented, publicly and profusely. No one here blames Trump for this stuff. Please: let it go? Like Mister Roboto has?
Trump said much truth about covid. He also said much bullshit. That’s Trump: wouldn’t recognize the truth of it walked up and smacked him in the dicksucker. Information, for Trump, is mostly coded by its effect on his ego. If truth helps his ego, great. If not, bad.
Trump is not the cause of all this but he was and is also in no way even remotely a cure. Just a (for us) convenient obstacle the Deep State had to go around.
“Front man started saying”
Who is front man, Dr. D? (One of those simple questions I prefer people answer or at least tell me to fuck off.)
Trump, imo, kept us out of major confrontation with Russia during a period when our fathead Pentagon was in denial that Russia is now the new “Global Policeman” and we’re just another international perp.
Now they kinda get the concept.
“I still struggle in understanding how so many people really believe what they’re being told, to the point that they want to force vaccinate people and if they don’t hope they die.”
This is an oversimplification but contains what I think is the core answer to your question:
Mom does NOT want to believe that Daddy is screwing her daughters. Or sons. It’s too horrible to believe: Suddenly, she realized the calls were cominbg from INSIDE the house.
^&*
“One of the worst symptoms was in my brain (after my son’s second vaccine). I spent nearly a week unable to sleep more than a couple hours each night. Then I’d wake up with my heart racing and adrenaline pumping. For the rest of night, every single time I closed my eyes I had massive adrenaline rushes and sleep was impossible. I tried everything I had in the house to relax my nerves and nothing worked. I felt like I was going insane and couldn’t figure out why it was happening. Then as suddenly as it started, it disappeared. Thankfully. Because it was absolutely horrible.”
Hmmm… that may be part of the reason why cannabis use has increased so much of late. During the lockdown, when people were all about getting high, it wasn’t neary so much as of late. The ex-Mrs. Sherburn agrees: people are smoking a ton of weed. I’ll ask the local pot store people next time I visit.
^&*“Everything i stated at #80420 also points to Trump not being an agent of change, because if he was he would have been pointing that stuff out as we went along. True believers on the left and true believers on the right, stuck in the middle with you!”
Trump bragged a week or three ago that HE began the vakzine process. Trump was useful as a loose cannon but is as incompetent and morally bsankrupt as they are. His virtue is that he can’t help but reveal himself every other day. Like Dr. D says: narcissists. They have to brag.
“If only we’d fought the Nazis by ignoring them from our couches.”
The world would’ve been better off if we had.
“I don’t think I have ever been as embarrassed by any vote I have ever cast than I have been by my vote for Biden/ Harris. Hence my nickname for them, “Hide/ Embarrass”.”
I voted for what’s-his-face… Kerry in 2004. I share Mister Roboto’s shame.
Ukraine seems determined to start WWIII.
It seems to like starting world wars with odd numbers.
For solar power, I like using it stored in tree wood and plant/animal food. solar powert stored in fossil fuels was exhilirating but the withdrawal jones are wicked.
It’s the little things that hammer economies. Lots and lots and lots of little things:
“It’s funny how it feels as you dismiss Oz to be flushed. I sit comfortably down here in Strahan, working as I please, going to the pub or restaurants freely, travelling around the state without hindrance, talking to whomever I please. In the past month I have been to an AFL footy game, an huge (for Tassie) concert, and still have never, outside of work (grinding, galv welding etc.) had to wear a mask. I listen to (read) you guys so I am not frightened of COVID as others are, and I take the “John Day” precautions, as I understand that it will get here again, but still in some parts of this country our life is really very normal.”
Here we are reminded that the media that lies to us lies to us. Reality on the ground is rarely in fidelity with its media reportage. All too often, we are jumping at shadows.
A friend of mine who is a pastor shared this NT verse with me in reference to the current wokester/vegan fad/fetish:
“1Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” 1 Timothy 4:1-3
Just an interesting correlation. I read the Bible with as many grains of salt as I read anything.
Since V. Arnold is sleeping in, I’ll weigh in on the palmetto painting: it has the exuberant enthusiasm f that early Modern era. Sargent appears to be intoxicated by the concept of sight, color, and shape. It’s less beautiful than it is exhilirating, like children playing.
The Japanese understand consumerism, and Euromerican culture, better than Euromericans:
Beyond baroque, into the rococo twilight where everything is a parody, style with far more gloss than substance. And yet the musicianship/songcraft itself is fine, the humor is perky and cute. No problem with it except that it is strictly allowed to mean anything significant. It’s soma-music from a Brave New World.
“The savvy psychopaths among them are working out proper escape routes, knowing as they do that those routes are hardly guaranteed safe.”
Consider Jeffrey Epstein.
ALthough often energized, you see a narrow range of emotions and a lot of posturing. A good actor, but there’s no comparison tween Bama’s facial emotional registers and Fauci’s. Fauci’s face is an open book if you look past the condescending sneer or vain-glorious gloat, his two main public expressions. Fauci’s emtions are obvious. Obama’s are always more like a picture in a frame.
Happy, sad, sneering, angry, jocular… his face is not relaxed like Obama’s. He’s way too emotiional to be a psychopath.
Aye, but MSM et all do not have the magical power of ensuring people believe contradictory thing after contradictory thing. They cannot convince us the sky is not above our heads or grass iksn’t green. Faauci got this far BECAUSE he’s had MSM, and they’ve blown much of their credibility foisting/protecting him.
He’s served his purpose. He does more damage to TPTB than good now. Fauci is a nothing, a clown who got lucky. Now, someone like Obama… now that man is a player. And, I think, a real genuine very high-functioning psychopath. He has the perfectly rounded, almost childlike features to hide those cold eyes warmed by their brown iris color. He came across as the calm kind voice of reason because he was clam and reasonable and made kindness motions. He probably would have preferred not running a murder empire but that was who hired him, and a psychopath hardly registers the emotions we feel, just sahrugs his shoulders and makes sure the checks cash.
Fauci a train wreck. He might get seriously sick. Maybe with some nasty coronavirus that keeps hoim abed for months. It would make him their perfect scapegoat. Not that they’ll get away even close to scot free, but Fauci will serve like the chairs and tables the pursued throw in front of the pursuers in chase scenes.
They are so fucked. Some of them are too egomaniacal to even realize it although they subliminally must surely feel anxious. Most of them are merely split in two, biopolarly shifting from low panic to high manic confidence. An exhausting roller-coaster ride. That’s how I see them. The savvy psychopaths among them are working out proper escape routes, knowing as they do that those routes are hardly guaranteed safe. But at least they have the advantage of admitting they’re fucked and taking appropriate action.
Most people on the street have the data to admit they’re fucked, too, but a great many of them hide from that reality just like our reptilian holgraphic overlords.
Nobody’s in contro lof the Titanic. There are just people who hold the Big Wheel and make toot-toot noises. The ship won’t even steer and is coming to a dead stall in the water with water lapping the edges.
Oh, I don’t think Fauci’s a psychopath. I agree with (was it Kunstler?) that he’s more a garden-variety egomaniac. He served his masters well and was well-rewarded, probably only half aware of the wrong he does or they do. Too busy preening in the mirror. A high-functioning psychopath would box Fauci into himself with ease. Putin, for example, would have him squirming on the ropes in ten questions.
Oh, I suspoect that Fauci has devolved to the point where he’d knife you if you crossed him, but only in the back. Face to face against someone who made it clear they’re not fucking around, and Fauci would flee, imo.
That we have figureheads as rampantly lame as Fauci, Biden, Kamala, tells you that they are really really desperate.
You can see the fear in Fauci’s eyes. His smirk is… troubled. HIs anger, while surely used to being expressed as narcissistic contempt, is nonetheless not annoyance-pain-based, but rather, fear-based.
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
THen they FIGHT you… and then they lose.Fauci is now openly fighting, desperately, for the paradoxical reason that he’s realized he’s out of ammo.
When a sea captain tells a young lass
He’ll pay her to lie under glass
While he sits up stairs
And she names his wares
Don’t do it, the man’s just an ass*swoon*
Tovarisch TAE Summary:
I like how you have these directable mirrors in your hall thereof that let’s you size up a paradox on the fly and take a snapshot with a quirky caption. It’s a gift so rare and fast as to make me wonder if you’re an AI. 😉 More like a clever rascal with access to a neato AI app. Or maybe you’re a high-functioning genius autist (I say that as a possible compliment, fwiw).
In other words, you, o soul of mystery, are fricking FASCINATING.
You remind me of this song:
“– If you die from the Delta Variant it may be the most serious virus you’ll ever get”
As opposed to that silly Laughing Influenza of 193o
“IOW, maybe the vaccine backfiring will make them finally start using Ivermectin-based therapies. It might be a very slim hope, as oligarchs hate being shown to be all wrong much more than they hate mass death and suffering amongst the serfs, but it’s probably our only hope.”
The serfs will be steadily growing angry. The oligarchs won’t last much longer. Things won’t get much better for us, but the oligarchs will find life… unpleasant and rather… tenuous. And what magical ingredient will the oligarchs respond to? A little thing called direct action. People walking up to city hall and firing into its windows just for the fun of it.
Why you guys place these mutant parasites on a Pedestal of Omnipotence bewilders and saddens me but no longer frightens me. Kinda givern up on fear, I haz. Now is a good time to smile. It always is. Fate will do as it does, and you can too.
WES: I wouldn’t know M2 from an M-1 carbine, but I know that the Titanic’s holds are all so bloated with financial water that the ship can hardly move and its very buoyancy is threatened.
“An old fogey about to be thrown to the wolves, I am not happy that Berlin Bunker parodies are sure to infiltrate the intertubes with the dear leader in a rage when told that Fauci’s vaccines failed. Disinformation is the truth.”
I wish things weren’t failing but I’m always up for one of those Hitler parodies.
WES: at this point, anything almost anyone does in the gubmint or its primary apparati, is like being in Germany in its second half: everybody KNOWS, but not very many will SAY…
Meanwhile, then, like now, the line between reality TV and actual reality went blurry:
I think it’s a predecessor of that fad for large recreations of Jackson’s “THriller” vid.
“So does that mean we won’t all be righteous eco-groovy vegans???”
Not if we can help it. I think that Kuntsler is hardly being sensationalist when he often refers to the protein value of well-fried large insects. A supply-chain collapse means a food-chain collapse in today’s globally commodified ecology. I see us eating low on the food chain for awhile. We’ll be healthier after a brief winnowing.
Maybe then, ET Jeebus will come and save us.
“I agree with this. I think i even stated awhile back that the loss of cheap oil will do more to reinvigorate slavery then any kind of racism. I also think this explains “woke”. They know that “progress” is failing and they have the most to lose. People might actually have to deal with reality then.”
You mean as a distracting focus driven from behind by fear? Not unlike how I perceive the fad for zombies and demonics being respectively about fear of cannibalism or End is Near fear? (End is Near Fear is my next heavy punk metal project.)
“What shall we do in return? Shall we respond with the wry wisdom of an Aristophanes or the dread practicality of a Spartan? Can we succeed if we play nice? Is civilization built by compromise with evil or by striking it down? Do leaders arise from the squalor of submission, accumulating points for victimhood, or by raising their eyes to dignity, honor, integrity and freedom?Let our coin buy more than mere survival, let our currency be defiance and, if necessary, honest vengeance.”
Heh. The author said coin. Heh-heh-heh. On coins, the wry wisdom of Aristophanes and the dread practicality of a Spartan:
“During the Peloponnesian War, the Athena Temple functioned in much the same way as a modern bank to fund the Athenian cause. Although considerable material wealth was kept in the physical temple, it is important to think of it more as an institution that had vast power over Athens’ economy. The Athena Temple’s reserve funds that were used to fund the war effort were drawn from a number of sources, including: tribute from Delian League members due every year in time for the campaigning season, funds still left from the treasury of Delos, the reserve fund held in the physical temple, and private donations of uncoined gold and silver. Thucydides related the details as follows:
‘“Saying that their strength came from the financial income they paid and that, for the most part, success in war was a matter of judgment and abundant revenues. He told them they could take confidence, since six hundred talents in tribute usually came in every year form the allies apart from other revenue, and on the Acropolis, there was still six thousand talents in coined silver remaining at that time . . . And, apart from that, uncoined silver in private and public dedications, and there was all the sacred equipment for processions and contests and booty from the Mede and everything else of that sort, not less than five hundred talents; going further, he added the considerable amount from the other sanctuaries. They would use these and if they were compelled, even the gold plating of the goddess herself; he pointed out that the statue had forty talents’ worth of refined gold, and it was all removable.”’
How Did the Athenians Fund Their Military during the Peloponnesian War?
The problem is ancient, now universal and global: no one can live without money any more except a few Amazon tribes who may soon be eaten by our culture. The love of money is the root of all evil. We cannoy even conceive of life without it. We will soon be forced to.
Big $$, el Mam-mon, is in final climax and about to go sere but with infertile seeds. Money has tried to kill off the planet and our particular species with it, but failed, of course, being primarily ideas and only secondarily things, placing at a disadvantage outside the human noosphere. Reality ignores money.
Slaves and animals and salt will again become our primary currencies.
But we’ll become REAL again, not figments of our inter-mixed imaginations, not holographic projections of what we’ve been conditioned and indoctrinated to be. And what is that, you ask? Unconsciously evil. Flaccid consumers of industrialized death turned into meaningless comforts and diversionary titillations, including cheap moral thrills provided by the Latest Worthy Cause. Anything but individuals or real unto ourselves.
“They outsourced responsibility for their behaviour — principles, decency, even that antiquated word, standards — to a compliance officer sitting in a corner office. Just like corporations, we individuals did the same.”
Yup. That’s us. As we’re taught: DO this, get in trouble. DO that, get a cookie.
And look, they used the World’s Biggest Word:
“To a certain extent, the fervor of the disestablishmentarian faction is traceable to economic and social trends mentioned earlier (the flow of wealth and power to coastal urban centers and the slow demographic shift of the country toward multi-ethnicity”
Written from a very mainstream perspective, which in this case is apt, for it seeks to communicate to a broad range of belief systems that the reason it feels like things are falling apart is that they ARE falling apart:
