-Great Cultural Revolution
Obama is Moses
No, he isn’t. According to legend, Moses was a prodigy.
[AmericanThinker] It's true: a picture is worth a thousand words. When I saw the photo of former President Obama, standing, arms folded, at the construction site of his seaside Hawaiian mansion, quite a few words came to my mind.

Sadly, some of them can't be printed here. But I'll share some of the ones that can.

"Narcissist" — Having won the Democrat nomination for President, Barack Obama told his audience and the world, "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." It wasn't enough for the Lightbringer to "fundamentally transform" America — no, Barry was going to save the entire planet!

This luxurious mansion under construction in Hawaii is Obama's third that I'm aware of, and second oceanfront property! There are only possibilities here. Obama either thinks he actually did calm the oceans, or he knew all along that climate change is merely a useful device for controlling the naïve, the neurotic, the weak-minded.

Most homicide victims in many US cities are Black, key data shows
[FoxNews] At least 16 U.S. cities witnessed record-high homicide rates in 2021, while New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, saw notable homicide spikes. Who were the victims in these American cities?

New data provided by Freedom of Information Act requests and analyzed by Fox News shows Black males were overwhelmingly the No. 1 demographic killed in most cities.
Killed by White Supremacists and Killer Cops right? No?
In Chicago, which tallied the most homicides since 1996, 648 of the city’s 797 homicide victims were Black.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 105 of the city’s 133 homicides were Black males. In Columbus, Ohio, 135 of the city’s 204 homicides were of Black males. In Louisville, Kentucky, 133 of the city’s 197 homicide victims were Black males. In St. Paul, Minnesota, 17 of the city’s 38 homicides were of Black males.

In Los Angeles, 397 people were killed in 2021 — the most in a year since 2007. Hispanic males were the top demographic killed in L.A. last year, 183 in total, in a city that has a much larger Hispanic than Black population.

Fox News spoke to Eric Siddall, a prosecutor in Los Angeles DA George Gascón’s office and vice president of the Association for Deputy District Attorneys in Los Angeles. Siddall is a registered Democrat and calls himself a socially "liberal," but he said he blames Gascón’s policies for L.A.’s homicide and crime spike.

"One of the big drivers of crime in Los Angeles are guns and gangs and right now, this district attorney has basically said we cannot prosecute people for gang crimes and is not interested in prosecuting people for gun crimes, and that has really led to this surge in homicides," Siddall said.

He added that similar policies nationwide have affected people of color – primarily Black men.

"Right now, the system, especially certain types of district attorneys, are siding with the criminal over the victim," Siddall said.

Fox News reached out to Gascón’s office for comment about this case but did not hear back. At a news conference touting his accomplishments this past December, Gascón explained his philosophy of prosecuting L.A.’s crime, saying a "punishment-based" approach did not serve L.A. well.

"I have begun to transform the criminal legal system in ways that holds people accountable while serving the residents of Los Angeles County with fairness and humanity," Gascón said.

#5  Who is the #1 killer of Black Males in the Metro Cities?

In the vast majority of Black-America murders they were killed by another Black-America. Whites accounted for something like 6%.

BTW: Some may still remember the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about Black on Black crime? Made years ago ....
Where he was worried the person following him was Black, and relieved when it turned out to be a White person.

#6  Some Added Data To Chew.
Strange but the FBI has not published
its Crime Table 43 since 2019.

This Crime Table shows "Reported Murders"
Note: A number of metros did not fully report their crime data. I'll let you guess which ones failed to fully report their crime data.

But according to the FBI Crime Table 43 2019, there were 7,964 Murders and/or nonnegligent manslaughters reported.

Of that 2019 figure, Black Americans were responsible for 4,078 of them.

Summary:
This means, 14% of the US Population was responsible for 51.20% of all US Murders and/or nonnegligent manslaughters reported.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Keeping the Lights On
First.... Much much more at the article - head there and read it ... just a snip or 2 here.
An official EMP commission tried for several years to spur hardening of key equipment and systems. You can read the last report of the group, decommissioned in 2019, for yourself.

In an interview that year, report author Peter Vincent Pry warned that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and others were interested in the potential for combined cyber, EMP, and direct attacks on the U.S. power grid.

This new warfare uses cyber viruses, hacking, physical attacks, non-nuclear EMP weapons, and a nuclear EMP attack against electric grids and critical infrastructures. It renders modern armies, navies, and air forces obsolete. It paves the way for asymmetric warfare by small nations and terrorists.


How bad would such an attack be? The report estimates that 90 percent of the population would die from starvation, disease, and societal collapse.

Under the Biden Administration, solar power generation is a key priority despite its low generation efficiency and its dependence on rare minerals whose control, in many cases, has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. The administration is eagerly rebuilding long-neglected power production and distribution in Puerto Rico while throttling U.S. oil and gas extraction.

What it is not doing is addressing the vulnerabilities of the mainland American grid or promoting nuclear generation using modern, much safer technologies.

If the grid is taken off line for weeks or months, people will die. Many people.

Hospitals will run out of emergency petrochemical-based backup systems. Food supplies will be interrupted. Sanitation and water supplies will be in danger as well—which will lead rather quickly to major disease spread. The economy will crash in the absence of both electricity and of the communications systems that depend on it.

And if that happens as a result of one or more EMP blasts too high up to melt Los Angeles and Silicon Valley but close enough to destroy the semiconductor chips in crop harvesting equipment, cell phones, and Internet communications, along with all transportation throughout California, the number of dead Americans will be staggering.

Which is why recent evidence that Russia and China are each rapidly maturing advanced hypersonic missile capabilities has badly shaken key Defense Department leaders. While they were busy adjusting troop physical fitness tests for gender equity, our rivals have been focusing their attention on key attack capabilities that have the potential for asymmetric devastation of our country.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
August-September 1918: Intervention, conspiracies, white and red terror
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
By Oleg Airapetov

[REGNUM] On August 1, 1918, V. I. Lenin pointed out that the fate of the revolution was being decided on the Eastern Front, where the successful offensive of the Czechoslovak Corps and the forces of the local counter-revolution continued. It was a correct assessment. At that time, the opponents of Soviet power had already reached the middle Volga region, and there was a danger of creating a united anti-Bolshevik front, relying on the Volga with its rear. The loss of this communication line for a long time could be a blow that the RSFSR could not survive.

Great White North
The Party In Ottawa
4th Generation Warfare in real time
[CaptainsJournal] Little boy “big hair” would have you believe this is just a few malcontents pulling this off. But a few malcontents couldn’t pull of something like this. It’s grass roots, required little planning, and includes virtually all walks of life (except for the police, who will do the bidding of the globalists).

This is called swarm behavior. I hear retired generals, aspiring Lt. Colonels and pretend-scholars discuss swarm behavior all the time. They have no idea what swarm behavior means.

It’s taken from the behavior of things like bees, where subtle signals between insects inform them of circumstances, share intelligence, and illicit innate behaviors as if a symphonic masterpiece was being performed without direction. It could be chemical or pheromone signals to attack or move the hive, it could be a single bee performing a “waggle dance” to tell other bees where food is or where a potential new hive could be, or many other things. Swarm behavior has nothing to do with lots of people or insects crowding around. Generals and Lt. Colonels are mostly idiots, as are most “scholars” of warfare.

In this case, the swarm occurred because signals were seen and heard, people watched, and people responded the way their heart told them to. That tells you something about their heart, what they’ve endured the last couple of years, and just how much they’re willing to tolerate. There is no leader to speak of. This is the workers deciding when they’ve had enough.

Food is everywhere, horns are still honking (in spite of the court order to stop it), and the court order to return fuel to the truckers has added to their stores to extend the stay.

So far, life is good. Big hair is scared. He cannot turn this off. There is no spigot to close or switch to flip. The parliament is scared. The globalists are scared. They’ve lost control. Control is everything to them.

#9  A dispatch from The Freedom Party (this is one of scores of first-person accounts from around the world, gathered by the indispensable German doctor "eugyppius" at his substack:

Containment Collapse - Reader Reports
from CANADA

...Seemingly, entire hotels in Downtown Ottawa were booked out by protestors. I walked the streets of downtown with a group of friends on Friday night. Despite the temperature hovering somewhere around -27℃, the city was one giant block party. Folks were screaming at the top of their lungs for "FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!!" firecrackers and fireworks popped off intermittently, HOONKING was incessant. One woman was running around with her shirt off, wearing body paint that said "My Body, My Choice," while a burly gent wielded dual Canadian flags wearing nothing but his underwear and some steel-toes.

People actually had fun in this country for the first time in two years.

I entered the lobby of the Ottawa Marriott hotel, and the best way I can describe the scene is by likening it to the Taliban takeover of the American embassy in Kabul last year. Gents were guzzling wine straight from the bottle, smokes were lit, and no one was wearing a mask except for the cowed security guard standing by the door, head down, having been defeated earlier that day by the sheer overwhelming numbers.

We moved up the floors, and every suite had a raucous party underway. I got up to the 26th floor and stepped out onto the balcony to see the whole street below packed with crowds of people streaming between the trucks, still honking, echoing up into the sky. Ottawa was occupied.

I managed to retreat to a quiet place on the outskirts of town and lay down to rest. But, the party did not stop. It stretched into the morning of Saturday, halted for an hour or so around 8 AM so people could grab some breakfast, and then revved right back up again. Everyone in the downtown core converged on Parliament like moths to a light. Parliamentary Security put barriers up at every entrance except one, creating a chokepoint everyone had to pass through. However, the numbers proved decisive again, and they soon gave up any attempts at screening the crowd.

Government Corruption
Mass Murder by a Medical System that has Lost Its Direction and Soul
[News With Views] People were dying, [yet] all of my ideas were getting shouted down. My superiors were showing up [to my clinical meetings] and getting me to stand down, because I was entertaining the idea that we should do this, that and the other thing, and they didn’t want anything to be done. —Dr. Pierre Kory

This is a war on cheap repurposed drugs. —Dr. Paul Marik before testifying on NH Bill that would make Ivermectin available OTC in NH.

I never thought I’d see the day where doctors are censored, and patients are kept from care. —Dr. Peter McCullough

An epidemic, either naturally caused or intentionally caused, is the most likely thing to cause...say...10 million excess deaths. —Bill Gates — 2017

Were we lied to about the number of deaths from Covid? Yes! Were the tests run at cycles too high to purposely show false positives? Yes! Could someone pass the virus if asymptomatic? No! Was social distancing valid? No! Were masks beneficial? No! Was the lockdown effective in stopping the viral spread? No!

Have nearly half of small businesses been destroyed? Yes! Has the economy tanked? Yes! Have the big box stores benefitted? Yes!Has domestic abuse risen? Yes! Has drug addiction climbed? Yes! Have suicide rates escalated? Yes! Have mental and physical problems risen? Yes! Have children lost IQ from the masking? Yes! Are children disabled via speech impediments and learning disabilities because of the lockdowns and masking? Yes!

Have the AMA, CDC, FDA, NIH protocols saved patients? Hell no! They have purposely murdered hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, who could have been saved. The dissident doctors, scientists and healthcare workers know there are repurposed drugs (inexpensive and available) that could have saved up to 86% of those who perished. Have those same stakeholders lied about Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin? Yes, even Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine lied.

Have we been sold a lie via fear mongering and media propaganda? Yes! Has the government enacted mandates that are unconstitutional? Yes! Has the Bill of Rights been violated? Yes!

Are the COVID jabs dangerous to your health and wellbeing? Very! Are the actuarial tables showing a rise in deaths of young people who had the jab? Yes! Are our soldiers being disabled by the jab? Yes! Have we been lied to from day one about the creation of this Wuhan virus and who is responsible? Yes!

Was the CIA involved in planning this pandemic? Yes! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, states that there were over 20 "pandemic" simulations beginning in 2000, and Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and the CIA were involved in every one of them. "The CIA wrote the script, high-level CIA officials participated in every one of those pandemic simulations."


Kennedy states, "So they practiced again and again and again: How to use the pandemic as a pretext for imposing totalitarian controls and for obliterating liberal democracy across the planet."

This was all part of a decades-old globalist-devised blueprint for the future.

Emphasis added.

#1  It's surreal. Those of us who used to heap scorn on RFK Jr and anti-vaxxers were wrong. The conspiracy theorists make far more sense than anyone parroting the St Fauci line.

Nearly every one of these surreal, nightmarish claims is true.

These lunatics really did conspire to suppress known, safe, effective treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin that would have saved tens of thousands of lives -- probably over 100,000 lives -- in this country. (Those treatments saved at least many lives in Uttar Pradesh, in India -- but our Pravda-press has suppressed the information.)

These bastards really did inflate the number of actual 'from' as opposed to 'with' deaths -- per their own CDC head Walensky, by a factor of at least 4x.

Fauci and Collins really did try to destroy their scientist peers with scurrilous lies when the latter bravely spoke out against the madness of destroying our children's lives with their cruel and utterly pointless masking and lockdowns. Fauci's littke storm troopers in academe really did lie, smear and slander Drs Bhattacharya and Ioannides when they presented real and solid evidence that the doom-mongering fatality numbers bruited about were wild, insane over-estimates.

These assholes have destroyed the credibility of not just public health authorities everywhere but the bio-medical establishment itself.

They more than anyone are to blame for the crisis of legitimacy that now consumes the advanced democracies.

They did this to us.
Vengeance is ours. We shall repay.

You read a lot about the wonderment over how low the infection rates are in Africa. Well, in Africa they take hydrochloroquinine as a profilactic for malaria and invermectin for parasites

Duh the French the Indians and the Israelis used both to treat the virus with solid results

I still don’t understand why the doctors have abandoned their “do no harm” oaths

Tell me again how many die of gun violence? Don't ever listen to any medico about guns - clean thy own house first.

#6  I didn't read every hcq study but I did read a few dozen (I haven't read any ivermectin).

There were many studies. Millions of $ must have been spent on these.

None of them had a statistically valid control group, even the ones under the control of hospitals and universities.

I still don't understand this. The people funding and designing and doing the studies were smart people, well educated.

1. Who funded those studies? Guessing at least some of the $$$$ came from Big Pharma

2. How much $$$$ does Big Pharma make from HCQ and ivermectin? Guessing it's close to zip

Talk to the governor of Florida.

We had the public schools with masks.
We had the private and religious schools without masks
There was no difference in the rate of infection between them.
That is science.

#11  ^ yup. And:

Israeli vax rate: 62% of total population
Paleost. vax rate: 17% of total population

Israeli COVID death rate: 0.079% of total population
Paleost. COVID death rate: 0.079% of total population

This is science

#12  See: The federalization of healthcare Swillary wanted and Bath House partially delivered Yes, without their gov. controlled healthcare (healthcare $) they could never have pulled off the whole "getting doctors to sell their souls" thing, and the concurrent inflation of "covid" "deaths" equating to more money for said healthcare provider (hospital or medical orginazation). mTheres a certain incentive when your livelihood is threatened by the Feds.

#16  Sock Puppet: In Africa they do take anti-malarials and vermifuges--but not very often. The schedules I've seen for the latter have been of the order of quarterly doses--not nearly often enough to have any anti-covid effect. Those who can afford it can take regular malaria suppressants, but others only take the meds when they get sick.

#17  The majority of people in Africa don't read a daily paper or watch TV news, so they are immune to COVID fear-pr0n for those reasons.

What will the next great $$$$ generating panic for the Liberals?
It seems by now the Left and their Government Control Freaks have figured out they'll either need another C-19 Strain, a new Virus, or a new inventive Global Emergency scenario. Before they can have any hope of implementing the needed laws, regulations, and mandates to support their greater Liberal/Socialist agenda plans.

But be assured, they have learned a lot from their mistakes and missteps with the Climate related issues, holes in the Ozone, faked Polar Bear issues, faked modern-day racism, classroom created Social Issues, funded and staged riots, and their best yet the Covid-19 Panic with constant VAX/booster demands.

So whatever they come up with for the next great panic will have to be even more creative, and better tweaked.

Given this many lessons learned from their long list of staged events, the next one might be the Lefts winner lie.

Any bets on what the next great created global panic will be and where it will originate?

Biden's wide-open 'border' is deliberate - and part of a 'long game' strategy
[FoxNews] President Joe Biden's no-border policy has detonated an explosion of illegal-alien apprehensions and got-aways at the southern "frontier." Millions of Americans consider this one of Biden's biggest failures, surpassed only by his utterly calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan. However, this fiasco is Biden's finest hour.

After 11 months, Biden's "border" remains wide open, if not functionally erased. Illegal aliens cascade across. Between February 1 and December 31, 2021 -- on Biden's watch -- Customs and Border Protection (CPB) apprehended a record 1,956,596 illegals on the southern "frontier" versus 511,192 one year earlier, during President Donald J. Trump’s tenure – up 283 percent.

Biden gives illegals free tickets to ride buses that whisk them deep into the U.S. interior. Illegal aliens in Brownsville, Texas score free cab rides to the airport, whereupon they jet to Atlanta, Houston, and other cities.

Mountain-sized ROCK hidden beneath the coast of southern Japan could be acting as a 'magnet' for megaquakes, study warns
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Seismic researchers detected the first signs of the 'Kumano Pluton' back in 2006

  • Until now, however, it was unclear how big it was or the impact it might be having

  • University of Texas-led experts used a supercomputer to study 20 years of data

  • From this they could create the first full, high-resolution model of the rock

  • They found that the enormous mass is directing tectonic energy to its sides

Kaiju is a Japanese genre of films and television featuring giant monsters. The term kaiju can also refer to the giant monsters themselves, which are usually depicted attacking major cities and battling either the military or other monsters.
