Here we see a giant, majorly gained-in-function covid critter looking to pounce on the dear doctor caught, foolishly, without a safety mask:
I rather like this, and suspect some here might find it useful. Or maybe everyone knows about thios site but me. Let’s cut the red wire and find out:
As for 80s, drummer Stew was in rare form that night:
“nothing valuable could come out of Cuba except cigars.”
Which is SO intensely un-AMerican.
Evidence 1:
Evidence 2:
Evidence 3:
“demonstrate the sensational level of ignorance of Washington’s supposed Russian experts and policy-makers. No wonder they get everything wrong and are always surprised: they are only experts in wrongness.”
We “won” the Cold War by default: Russia destroyed itself for us. Having won it, we proceeded to attempt to destroy via consumption everything in sight.

TPTB have been trtying to crush Russia forever. That having failed, we apparently are trying to encourage them to fail by showing them how easy it is to do, using ourself as example.
As Orlov wisely asks/counsels: What will you do without money/stores?
The Guardian goes in on the deal too:
No anti-anti-vakzers spin, and a healthy head count. The tide be turning out. Soon will be revealed the curiously rich and strange sea creatures that lurk beneath the media waves…
Above is a typo. It’s not a spineless jellyfish; all jellyfish are spineless. It should read ‘spinless jellyfish’. No narrative to hide in.
NYTimes article headline today:
Where a Vast Global Vaccination Program Went Wrong
Just allowing such a headline is a major shift in the wind. Magic thinking notes that the wind shifted this morning and Portland is finally getting its first sniff this year of wildfire haze. I hear there’s something in the air…
“China joe picked “heels up” kamala as vp so no one would even think of replacing him as p!
Remember Bush picked Dan Quayle for same reason!”
I’ll go further and suggest that BOTH were picked, but not by Biden. And not necessarily by some king-maker, but by a party machine so hopelessly gummed up and running out of parts (from China, of course) that Biden was the best they could do. They need a fall guy, and Joe’s dumb enough to be it.
AND!… the Republicans gain the lead, pulling ahead a nose as they round the bend from left to right.
Republican investigation reportedly ‘proves’ COVID leaked from Wuhan lab
Now begins the battle for anti-vakz/oaficial narrative Pioneer Hero Icon among GOP politicos. This should be fun to watch. Someone have an political Viagra they can spare? I’d like to re-experience the thrill of getting my political hopes up:
P.S. AM I the only one who thinks Elvis makes an awe-fully pretty nubile woman?
I almost have to halt mid-fire a nerve impulse to throw ssomething when I read the phrase ‘must-read/see’ anything, but Germ is right. Must read, sez me, choking. It shows how the control of actual language, on which any public narrative ultimately stands however large its spread therefrom via media, is slipping fast out of the authorities’ hands regarding covid and das vakzine.
“as vaccines become more widespread, the transmission advantage gained by a virus that can evade vaccine-acquired immunity will increase.”
Holler wolf! too often and people decide you’re nuts, someone who must think they’re a dog cuz they keep barking.
Does this mean anything?
Obama expecting 700 to attend his 60th birthday party despite COVID
Asking for a spin doctor.
“A “Disneylandish” theme park laid out in a maze-like arrangement of streets, rides and other attractions . . . but in which everything the visitor sees, hears or buys has a 60 % probability of being false, misleading or broken. Charge visitors to the park their entire life earnings to get in , and leave it up to them to find a way out.”
The rides are so short and the lines to get off are so long!
@ upstatenyer
Vomiting is no fun. I ate my share of garbage in my day. I don’t mind bragging that I have a tough stomach. He’s mildly annoying as creeps go. Another delusional narcissist. And that which is negative: disgusting, terrifying, etc., releases so much energy wanting to be resolved NOW! that it tends to paralyze us. Next thing you know we’re clicking petition after petition like we’re actually doing something with it, or taking ourselves so seriously — in the dramatic sense — here at TAE with our fists clenched at The Man… becoming in the process a little too close to this for what’s left of my sense of dignity’s comfort:
“Pull my finger. I dare you.”Noirette aptly detects the charlatan under yuri’s protective lizard skin human suit. 😉 Here is a predeccesor, the one and only Troy Hubertoise:
Living proof that closed head injury is a real thing. Here is some background from his early days:
While Yuri annoys us, we have bias filters set to at least stun regarding youtube guru wannabes. I might score some street Xanax and spend an hour studying his schtick. Charlatans know things.

“I also like the moon cycle reference. (thumbs up, you just can’t see it)”
An example of a fave comm phenom of mine, a form of what the telephony industry once called “glare”.
I didn’t see how ‘waxing’ evoked a lunar cycle image until you pointed it out with an invisible thumbs up. Moebius circuit.
“I also need to redirect my shortcomings on to strangers.”
This dynamic is HUGE, I think. It contains, provides foundation, for the ‘crab bucket syndrome’
Because most of us hardly know ourselves by the time we reach adulthood (now we have to pick a gender too?) it is easy for us to be unaware of how we project our shortcomings onto others. Dumb crude joke alert:
Hi, my name is Dan but friends call me Shorty, or Short for Short. Short Cummings. I work in the porn industry.”
Incidentally, if deflationista is intent on selling pro-covid firewater, we just gave him good feedback on wghat works and what doesn’t. Trouble I think s/he’s running into is that there’s little low-hanging fruit left. The sides have been drawn, and the resistant side is waxing stronger than the submissive side.
But then, isn’t that how you end viral memedemics like the offocial covid narrative: resistance?
“Cafone: Good point, but the two narratives are so nearly identical why bother with which is true? The only difference is intent, which law agrees is extremely hard to prove. ”
My interest is how this affects people not how it can somehow “stop” TPTB from continuing to be TPTB, or at least have the law whack their peepees. TPTB are doing a sufficient job of ending their reign without our/my help, which help has for pert near never done shit to remedy things. Why would I interfere with my enemy when it is destroying itself?
My interest is how this will influence public interaction as supplies grow scarce amid a shrinking trust horizon. I honestly don’t give a flying fuck on a magic carpet whether some of TPTB go to jail or get pole-exed or run away and live quietly in comfort on some little-known island.
I care about what will happen around me and how I can help minimize chaotic destruction and maximize harmonious cooperation. But we’ll put this:
on the wall so we can stick pins in it if you like.
See? I answer your questions. 🙂
My mind begins to wander. Way back yonder I recall.
The day Aunt Osie stood on the porch and said to me, “Be careful of the world and all.”
She knew much more than I thought, but I was young too young to know.
Now I have seen too much too soon and somewhere, and somehow, something’s a-gonna blow.Gabriel your face is red. Be careful you’ll hurt your head. And wind up dead.
Like the world has lost its ears and eyes.
Is it wise to sympathize, when harmony has been kicked in the knee.
And sour notes a-singin’ their sad, sad song.
Gabriel won’t you go on home. Gabriel won’t you go on home.My mind begins to wonder, way out yonder I can see.
A brand new star has now been born to make things warm and bright for you and me.
Hey here, hey there, hey you, I’ve got some proof, it’s really so.
Peace on earth, goodwill to men. And somewhere, somehow, something’s a-gonna blow.Gabriel your face is red. Be careful you’ll hurt your head. And wind up dead.

<end>And all that happy Hollywood hippy horseshit. 🙂
It’s fascinating. Watching this cloud of convergence, theories and narratives mutating as fast as the variants, counter-counter-propaganda campaigns, a populace seemingly dangerously close too collective nervous breakdown after competing collective delusions beat each other senseless, a government both this close to reliable push-button control of its Standard Business Model but also this close to peaking out like Titanic’s last stand.
The most common form of financial reset is war, but since war has become just another corporate product on a diplomatic/provocative espionage assembly line, resets need new methods of occurrence. Since we’re all tapped out on fighting war, are in major retreat, in fact, another common reset trigger, depression, seems likely to be the cause of the inevitable reset.
However, we usually assume that it will be driven by USA domestic policy. I wonder if it won’t be from foreign directives.
Like the antebellum South, USA is a buncha rich assholes living in debt to their satellites even if they’re supposedly mondo-scale billionaires. Consider the old South as USA, and the industrial north as China/Russia. Like someone said months ago here, a global civil war is happening, has been for awhile.
One axis of belief is among anti-vakzers who believe this is:
a) a vast scheme to take complete dominion over humanity and the earth by using totalitarian means to inflict pathogens and poison false cures to decimate the population.
b) those who belive this is a vast global “plumbing failure” with the usual money extraction/power preservation/accrual motives, a case of bureacracy virally replicating its initial set of lousy instructions via the boardrooms and capitols to a colossal scale of corruption, mendacity, submission, nueroses and psychoses, incompetence, and denial of reality.
Inother words, the usual, only on a scale hitherto unimaginable except in near future dystopian sci-fi.
My point is not to argue the two, although have at it if you will. Maybe I like to watch.;) My point is how those two approaches might affect our view on the indisputable mass, frustrated, flustered drive to prove the vakzine is a good not bad idea and/or vakzinate as many more people as it can.
Archie:the ratings were just a passing whim, a way of diffusing the irritation that deflationista inspired.
However, analysis of discursive tactics, including concepts like charisma and persuasion, interest me very much. THe mechanics.
I’ve suspended judgment on the claims/ideas deflationista presented ntil now. When he posted the brief Twiiter video clip, I decided to examine this Yuri guy.
I watched his first sentence and the same crap detector in me that despised Fauci from the first time I saw him speak about covid (never knew he existed before then) kicked in here. His first sentence was such a pointless straw man remark, and his facial registers were so off, those of a deservedly unfamous supporting actor, I felt no interest or need to explore him further.
It reminded me of Iphigenia in Brooklynn which is music so bad that it, to quote George Bernard Shaw, “smells bad to the ear”. Yuri smells so much like fresh dogshit on hot summer afternoon asphalt, I could hear how bad it smells
But I admired his effort, and he used some top-notch sophistry in some parts.
As for deflationista’s performance:
Ratings (1-5 scale):
Entertainment 3.5
Engagement Strategy 4.5 (he hooked us but didn’t land us)
Building of Argument 3 (great opening gambit but fizzling follow-through)
Presentation of Data: 1
Capacity to Convince: 1Total: 13 Good enough for me to want to hear more.
Why should NSA profile algos have all the fun? 😉
I don’t recall any of the doctors I know who prescribe/promote Ivermection citing Weinstein or Heying. Never hoida duh guyz. Rebutting errant propaganda is all fine and good, but that does not itself equate to Ivermectin being ineffective or dangerous.
Dueling narratives. Ah, how TPTB love them. Keep we the people caught up in a ping-pong match.
We must use as much energy/time/concern as possible telling others what view of this or that we believe is right, rather than doing what we think is right, cuz this is a democracy: freedom of speech; everything else is ex-pen-sive.
Meanwhile, I still wonder what “excessive faith” in my natural state of health is. Has a witch cast a spell on me? Was I born under a bad sign? Did a black cat cross my path? Has a virus got its beady little spikes set on me? Should I be watching over my shoulder for a nearly albino Swede wearing a famous Ingmar Bergman flick? Is there something in the air (or do I just smell funny)?
Well, something smells funny.
This is not to say that deflationista, whose style in fact I rather admire, is the source of said smell. Just sayin’ that the nose knows.
“excessive faith in their immune system”
Thanx for pointing that out, tjk. What is “excessive” faith in the ability of one’s body to fight nanoscale pathogens or, for that matter, spirits abroad at night? Do we include placebo factor? Hwow would it sound if it were reversed: a genuine effective vaccine against a genuine nasty virulent virus is withheld from people because they are told by TPTB they should have more faith in their immune system?
One thing I like about logic is it shows how much bullshit we include with most everything we think or utter.
I wonder if I have excessive faith in my ability to sustain an erection or should I be reasonably prudent and start taking Viagra just in case?
Straightwalker:
That’s just a quickly tossed piece of draft, is all.
“1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”
I’m still hovering over the waters. 🙂
“How many of them will you kill to save them from death? Never thought I’d have to write that sentence. Are we the Baddies yet?”
“I think perhaps the biggest problem of all right now is that there is so much invested in official narratives. That is as logical as it is unfortunate. And I get it, all those politicians and experts are slowly and very reluctantly realizing that they bet on the wrong horse, and to turn a ship of state around is much harder than for me to change my life.
The alternative to admitting your failures is a very dark place, so maybe you should make sure you’re ahead of the crowd, ahead of your co-PMs and presidents and “experts”, admit your faults, profoundly apologize, and shift that steering wheel 180º if need be. You don’t want to find yourself in that dark place.”
Nifty description of what I perceive being the maoin driver behind this dangerous covid madness.
““The gods and angels are out there, pushing and pulling. You’re not supposed to see them as it would ruin the show, but you can if you want to. There are Ways backstage if you want to.””
I’d missed this one. Dr. D often delights me with his charmingly vaudevillian constructs.
“the snippet is jewel. Detailed and complex, real in an original and monumental way. Can’t imagine an entire novel (I would be exhausted by the end). ”
Thank you, luv. It has lots of shits’n’giggles to leaven the bread and lighten the load.
“Perhaps more effective as short stories/chapters? With great original art (for each segment) as an accompaniment? The selection offered here is enough to want contemplate as a stand-alone experience – and then translate into real life.”
There may be a way to do it like many of Dickens’ novels, and much 20th century pulp fiction, was published: in installments. Cross that bridge when I get there.
E-Z Rider vs Segway Zombies:
“Two riders were approaching…”
P.S. I notice that the two Masked Marauders are for once not staring at their handroids.
We await with bated breath how TAE Summary conundrumizes deflationista’s remarks. (I just sit back and burble like a peasant watching the priest turn bread and wine into imaginary Jeebus meat. How him do that?)
