Month: June 2021

Woody Allen–who is a talented but awful human being–once quipped that “I’m in very traditional Freudian therapy.  Very traditional.  In fact, my therapist died 6 months before I noticed.”

There is something about telling our stories, even if no one responds.

This blog, as I recall saying in some form or fashion, at some point, is my Freudian therapist.

And I really crave, really need, really have an emotional desire for, intelligent conversation.  Deep conversation.  And I often do have emotionally deep conversations with strangers, drunk in bars.  But never intelligent conversations.  Nobody who would have anything intelligent to say about, say, Albert Camus (I am reading The Plague right now).

My oldest, particularly (although both are avid readers) works hard to read good books, and of course I indulge this.  We were at Barnes and Noble a few years ago, and asked the gal behind the counter where we could find Thoreau.  She said “who?”.  Oi. (in Classics, then).

So this is my intelligent conversation, the one I have with myself.  And I missed it, so here I am again.  I feel better for some reason than I did just a few days ago, though.

I’m going to try and put this blog down for a minute again.  I will never run out of things to say, but I sincerely hope I am able to reach a point where I am without the NEED to say them.

I have ideas.  I always have ideas.  This current crop I am going to test and report on eventually.

The guy on the left, they claim, invented mRNA.

Based on the data, these injections may very possibly be particularly harmful to bone marrow and ovaries.

It is also possible that the mass vaccination campaigns may lead the virus to evolve to a more lethal form.

All of this sort of thing needs to be in the public domain.  Debates need to be happening.  This is obvious.  That fact is incontestable.  In free dialogue, the best ideas tend to win out.  We want the best ideas to win out.  That means we need to use the means of free dialogue.

Nothing is gained by censorship.  No lives are saved.  On the contrary.  Big Tech is murdering people, as surely as if they were putting their guns to people’s heads and pulling the triggers.  They only fail to see this–and some may well see this and simply be making what are for them financial decisions, as for example if China is paying them a billion dollars for every major interview they censor–by lying to themselves, by being small minded idiots.

Any college student who is required to take an experimental vaccine and suffers severe side effects–let us say a scholarship athlete who comes down with an otherwise inexplicable myocarditis–can SUE that university.  If it happens to enough, it becomes a class action lawsuit.  And if that happens enough, entire universities can be bankrupted.  All for bad (use the word non-existent if you prefer) science.

All employers who mandate the experimental vaccines are OSHA responsible for damages related to the injections.  These are WORKPLACE INJURIES, and as such something for which the employer is legally liable.

No doubt the Bidenistas may try and pass legislation preventing all this–in precisely the same way they had ZERO interest in protecting businesses from COVID lawsuits–but I suspect they will not go far.

Why would they?  Joe Biden himself tells us all this is “PERFECTLY SAFE”.

But if students want to bankrupt large colleges, I myself cannot say that I would feel the loss.  Outside of the hard sciences, most of them produce nothing but ignorant and self important idiots anyway.

I went into my local Trader Joe’s today for the first time since roughly last April.  I early on found my mask free zones, and went to those places exclusively.  As you would imagine, Trader Joe’s is the sort of place where even many of the vaccinated people still wear masks.  Such was the efficient use of terror by the propaganda apparatus defecating on the actual science over the past year.

But floating in the air for me, in this return to approximate “normalcy” is the question: what the fuck just happened?

A third of American small businesses went under.

Home prices are through the roof, and the reason seems to be that banks are buying up entire neighborhoods–using Yellen & Co.’s cheap money, and no doubt many billions effectively stolen during the spending binges we called “Stimuluses”.

[I read as much as $400 BILLION–and it may well be higher than this, but that’s the number they are going with–may have been stolen.  By way of comparison, the Gross Domestic Product for Sweden–the sum total of all goods and services which traded hands–was $530 Billion in 2019.]

Ordinary home buyers are being priced out, and here is the thing: Yellen is keeping interest rates low FOR NOW.  Until the buying by the banks is done.  Inflation, remember, is not prices going up.  It is the flood down river from the release of tidal waves of new money after it has been spent by those who got it first.

When price inflation DOES hit, all these houses will increase in price rapidly without gaining in actual value, and the banks will pocket–indeed have already pocketed, in the form of titles to real property–those profits.  Ordinary people will be fucked.

We are told, as of May 2021, that 579,000 people have died “of COVID”, of which, if past statistics hold, 94% had one or more comorbidities.  Here is the thing: 461,000 of those 579,000 are over 65.  They were over the age of retirement in this country, to the extent retirement is still a thing.  That means 80% of the deaths happened in people who most likely DID NOT NEED TO BE WORKING.

And by the way, only about 2,500 people under the age of 30 died from COVID-19.  If the numbers from Israel, as cited by Tucker Carlson in a video that has been removed by YouTube (who are you atrocious, ugly, Nazi insects doing this bullshit?) hold, then, if they are subjected to those injections, as most of the 20 million American college students are most likely going to required to be, then 150,000 American students, mostly male, will come down with myocarditis, which will almost certainly–alone, with no other side effects–kill more than 2,500 of them.  It will certainly hurt their lives in ways that COVID-19 was never going to.  Given that they are much more likely to die of suicide or car accidents, why the hell is this happening?  Why are we INFLICTING this mass casualty event on our young, on our hopes for the future?  On those who should be able to trust the “adults” in the room, but obviously can’t?

Mandating these things is unconscionable, if you look at the SCIENCE.

Further, we have lost more people already to these injections in the past six months–TWICE as many people, if I am recalling the statistic correctly–than we lost in the past five years or so to all other vaccines combined.  And that is reported numbers.  If we can safely assume COVID deaths are high, we can also assume injection related deaths are low, for the same reason, which is the to say that the same people are massaging the numbers, underreporting them, and for all intents and purposes lying about them.  Why?  Cui Bono?  Not us.  Not the American people. Not honest saps so naive they still trust these bastards.  No, they will be fucked with everyone else.  Bill Gates no doubt told his kid or kids to stay close to the ranch, keep their mouths shut, and avoid all needles at all costs.

THESE THINGS ARE STILL EXPERIMENTAL.  As one lawyer pointed out, mandating these experimental injections is a de facto AND DE JURE violation of the Nuremburg Code (I will note that the specific Wikipedia page–which I have linked before, probably here–seems to have disappeared.  You know, like dissenters in Cuba or China.  Or honest medical voices in the complicit media over the last year.

And positive data about HCQ and Ivermectin continues to come out.  They were never dangerous.  They never needed two year double blind studies.  We sure as fuck did not do them on these injections.

Even Vitamin D keeps finding positive data, as does zinc, sometimes even given after the disease has fucked people up, although my position has long been to prevent the Cytokine storms–and for that matter the more serious symptoms of most infectious illnesses–by making sure no one was deficient in the first place.  As I will continue to say, it is obvious that preventing the deficiencies in the whole population would not just have been the OBVIOUS, boss, power move at the outset for COVID-19, but REMAINS a really fucking obvious public health objective even now, since it helps with ALL diseases, possibly even cancer, which some view as in part a symptom of a disordered immune system.

So what the fuck happened?  We knew, or should have known, from the outset that viruses are aerosolized.  That means masks don’t do shit, unless you wear the best ones, wear them perfectly, and replace them continually.  We KNEW this.  Tony Fauci KNEW this.  As I say, I am accusing him of being a sociopathic asshole.  I am not accusing him of good faith stupidity.  If he has been acting in good faith, then deflowering virgins in Black Masses in the Vatican is being a good Catholic.

Where are the guardians?  Why the silence of the good people I know are out there?  Why have my alma maters of Berkeley and the University of Chicago been so fucking silent?  Harvard and Stanford and Oxford have some folks who have done great work, Stanford in particular.  They have 3-4 guys, like Jay Bhattacharya, and John Ionnidis, and a few others whose names I’m not going to look up.  Actually Scott Atlas is connected to them too.  That’s a solid, unshameful showing.  Where the fuck was Cal?  U of C?  What fucking cowards.

After the firing is done and the smoke cleared, sneaking in quietly is not courage.  It is the people like Martin Kulldorff, who got yelled at and threatened by everyone, who deserve the credit.  That’s balls.  That is something to be proud of.  Kudos to all those who did THEIR BASIC FUCKING JOBS IN THE FACE OF UNRELENTING HOSTILITY.

Everyone else, everyone who held on for “verification”, who quietly did some trial they knew was a fucking waste of time, has egg on their faces.  SHAME ON THEM.  That is not how you protect goodness.  That is not how you protect life.

As Orwell pointed out, authoritarian rule depends on lies, and lies depend on a critical mass of people TOO SCARED TO SPEAK TRUTHS THEY KNOW.

Banks are buying up America cheap.  Big Corporations set a forest fire that tore through Main Street and destroyed much of their viable competition.  Austin needs a new slogan: “Keep Austin Corporate”, or perhaps “Keep Austin Amazon and Google”.  That would be more honest.

So, again: what the fuck just happened?  Why should I not be just as mad now as I was a year ago?  The past year has validated everything I wrote then.  I have not had to walk back anything.  There have been no new “scientific” developments, unless we count Anthony Fauci’s emails as an unintentional contribution to the “truth narrative.”

Wake up, America.  Wake up World.  I don’t know if Main Street has a chance, but it damn sure has no chance if imbecilic children get to control the narrative to such an extent most never realize how fucking unnecessary the masks, the lockdowns, the injections, and all of it was, and remains.

And finally, why NOT look at this as an intentional, conscious, act of military aggression by the Chinese nation and military?  It is highly plausible.

I have spoken on my other website (www.goodnessmovement.com) of what I term Henomoralism.  It is a term I invented, possibly using bad Greek.  It stems from Henotheism, which is the worship of one god without denying the existence of others.  I think Max Mueller came up with to describe “the” (it is a complex topic) Hindus.

Henomoralism is prioritizing one virtue over others, without denigrating the value of those virtues.  There is, for example, a time to prioritize compassion over courage.  There is also a time to prioritize courage over compassion.  This is that time.

There is time to prioritize violence–and here I mean emotional violence, in which people who are lying in conferences of various sorts are confronted by truth tellers–over peace; strife over “getting along.

We have to get science back in the scientific world.  We have to get truth back in the journalistic world.  Only the people on those battlefields can do that work.  I can’t.  All I can do is type furiously on my little keypad and wonder if I am wasting my time.

For me, personally, venting emotion is almost always healthy.  And only people who want to read anything I write will be here.  So it is win/win, I suppose.

But those of you in the arena: get to it, goddamn it.  This is Sparta (pick your battle), or Rome (pick your battle, and remember they lost a lot and built their empire on sheer resilience and persistence), or the Alamo, or Camerone.  Battle of the Bulge, or Chosin Reservoir, or Iwo Jima.

Here is a simple truth: nations filled with cowards sooner or later fall to nations which are NOT filled with cowards.  The time to be nice, and to mend fences is over.  We need to push the fucking truth in peoples faces so hard NO ONE can deny it.  That is my personal opinion.

I am listening to Tom Jones on Audible.  I was very pleasantly surprised how FUNNY it is.

When I think of the English I think of tea, a nation of shop keepers, and a nation which engaged in global imperialism with more success than any nation in history.

And I think of wit.  It is their conspicuous grace, in my personal opinion, and I lived there 6 months (3 in Oxford, which is a story I won’t tell; interestingly, since I was there more than three months in the Mad Cow period I am prohibited from donating blood by the Red Cross).

Here is a definition of wit: the dexterous use of words to build space within a confined social prison.  Prison may be too strong, but wit makes the room lighter, larger, and everyone in it more beautiful and charming, simply because you are laughing.

Humor, as I have said before, roughly equals it.  It creates a middle area in which contentious issues–things that make us mad and uncomfortable–can be discussed in new ways.  This is why Cancel Culture, on balance, makes people emotionally imbecilic.  Chronic anger is infantile monosyllabism.  It is a one note tune, devoid of charm, grace, and SPACE.  It is a tight cage.

And I will comment, as I have somewhere before, that LISTENING to, particularly, British fiction is a fundamentally different experience that reading it.  The readers appropriate the accents, and are skilled actors in their own rights, and their performances very much become a part of the overall experience.

I noticed this with Shakespeare a long time ago.  By all means READ him, but listen to him at the same time.  I promise you that you will get more out of it, even if you have to often pause and reread certain passages.  That time is well spent, the effort eminently pleasurable.

This applied, for me, even to listening to the 127 hour Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.  That took me six months.

But don’t just think of “books on tape” as an efficient use of time.  It is worth pouring a glass of wine, lighting a cigar, and listening at home.

Terror does not make you safer.

I have been having some strong experiences lately.  I got here, wanting to make a bunch of posts, then I was hit by an overwhelming fatigue, like all my systems were shutting down.  I took a nap, had a couple cups of coffee and lit a cigar, and I feel better.  But I can’t do those posts today.

I am not on entirely fictitious or unstable ground in feeling that I have some interesting contributions to make.  Everything that has ever needed saying has been said.  Nothing I will or could say is lacking in the human written record.

But truth, and truths, cycle.  They are known, and then forgotten.  And then remembered.  And every recollection, in every time, is unique in its own way.  Perhaps it needs saying in a slightly new way.  It is never a truly new message, but it is new TO US.  And we need our own language to internalize and learn them.  Adding that language is what I try to do.  In my own way, I like to think of myself as a sort of ideational artist.  My goal is to paint pictures with words, but not pictures which consist in perfect renderings of reality.  That is the job of science.  My aim is rendering them subjectively, in offering reality as transmuted within my own consciousness, in the hope that they spark something within the reader.

I feel strong flows within myself often.  My habit of Kum Nye has taught me to allow these flows.  I don’t know where they come from, or where they are going.  And it is hard living in them.  It is light and color and darkness and disease.  Everything.

Most of the time they feel like pressure on me.  They push on me, no doubt because I have not yet learned how to allow them fully, by tempering my fear, and embracing them.

But I am going to say this, today: within them are small sparks that are beautiful.  And it seems obvious to me that my job is to see them, feel them as long as I can, and to slowly fan them into something larger.

That’s all I can say today.  I may do politics later, but nothing more.

Tucker has been doing a lot of great work lately.

Rebellion is an emotionally healthy response to irrational authority, wherever it occurs.  It is healthy for the individual, and at least potentially healthy for the order which, unquestioned, could be sustained in many cases indefinitely.

People who have to learn to say no, No, NO, though, often develop the HABIT of rebellion.

Here is what I will suggest: not infrequently, self defeating behavior amounts to one part of the psyche rebelling against another.  One part–let us call it the Superego, even though I am no Freudian–says “You have to do this because x, y, and z.”  And it makes sense.  The voice is speaking reason.

But with respect to internal emotions, it SOUNDS like the voice of a hated adult voice, and some part of the wounded child rebels by rejecting it, by saying no, by trying to build space in a very foolish way, but only way it knows.

I think this is true, for some people, at some times.
