My intuition tells me it is time for me to focus on calming myself, on managing fear, on finishing a long process of dealing with fear.

The broad facts are in the public domain.  The Left has taken off its mask, and we can see the fangs in the street.  If you can’t see it now, you won’t see it ever.  No words I can say at this point will make much difference, if indeed they ever did.

But I remember the 2012 election.  I felt strongly Mitt Romney would win.  Then some awful dark mist floated in from the ocean–it took the visible form of a hurricane, but it was much worse than that–and Obama won, despite being horribly unpopular.  Looking back at the things James O’Keefe uncovered, fraud has to be considered as one of the key elements.

My point though is that the most important fight is spiritual.  That is where the true struggle is.

As long as people are living in fear–and everyone across the spectrum is feeling exaggerated fear now–then the math works most for those who live in and deal in fear.

It doesn’t matter that some of this fear is rational, and most of it is not.  Trump is not a horrible person.  He’s a genuinely decent person, and we are lucky to have him.  But that is not what people are being told to see, and far too few people are realizing that what they are being told to see is not what is actually THERE to see.

Hordes of people were tricked into the delusion almost instantaneously that the simple, obvious solution to police violence is no police.  That this is horrifically stupid doesn’t matter.  That this will hurt persons of color the MOST and the fastest doesn’t matter.  Nothing matters any more for many but the Narrative, and the Narrative is whatever emotionally unhinged people with clinical Personality Disorders tell them it is, and it varies day by day.  The goal is daily fear and daily anger.  The Narrative is whatever, in their judgement, will push in those directions, and away from careful, moderate, thoughtful consideration of real problems.  No thinking allowed.  No problem solving allowed.  No perduring principle based behavior allowed.

In the face of such madness, my best recourse, I feel, is to cultivate my own sanity.  I’m not immune to any of this.  I am angry and afraid, but for reasons I quite obviously can and do articulate at length regularly, here and elsewhere.

I need to go into the dark, where the demons live, and confront them there, harry them there, make their efforts difficult there.

That is my intention.  I may not post for a while.  I am going to try not to, although I am a profoundly compulsive person, which is to say I am often bounced around by emotions I have not yet figured out how to regulate.

But those who can see, see.  Those who cannot, will not.  A better argument for those without ears is an exercise in futility.

Trump understands what needs to be done: a good campaign, the prevention of cheating to the extent possible, and at some point mass arrests.  The lunatics have names.  They have addresses.  And they don’t want to be in jail, so the whole network, if ever attacked HONESTLY, will unravel quickly.

And as with Khrushchev, the sins of those who came before can be publicly aired, and their defenders publicly chastised.  If we are to survive as a civilized nation with a functioning and trustworthy government and system of laws, this MUST happen.

I went back to this table again: https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku

93% of the deaths were of people over 55
97% over 45
99% over 35

And 160 people under 25 died, they say from COVID.

During the period where 107,000 or so people died from COVID, 1.2 million Americans died of all causes, or a bit more than 10x that number.

The mortality rate is still a closely guarded government secret–I’m half kidding, but only half–but according to the guy at Stanford who called this thing, in my view, more or less right from the very beginning, and who is certainly qualified to comment, the true death rate among those infected is “between 0.02%-0.4%, far lower than the 1%-and-way-up numbers that were once bandied about – and much closer to the 0.1% death rate of the flu.”

So .4 is on the high side.  So if you are a 30 year old person in reasonably good health, and someone injects you with COVID-19, your risk of dying is .4 on the high side, multiplied by your demographic share of those deaths, which is 1%, multiplied by .66 because about a third of people have natural immunity for some reason.  Actually, I can’t find that study at the moment, so let’s stick with the original math: .004 (four people in a thousand) multiplied by .01 (one person in a hundred).  I can do that in my head.  .00004.  4 people in a hundred thousand.  If that is right by other math is wrong.

But this math is if you are already infected.  Most people walking just about every street on the planet are not infected.  So your chance of being EXPOSED to the disease in the first place is quite small.  And then there is the chance that you will actually GET it.

Something around one in a million to one in ten million seems to be in the neighborhood.  The risk is so close to zero, and so much lower than risks we all take for granted every day–the risks of obesity for example and driving–that it should not be a factor for anyone under 55 at all.

I am reminded again of the Bush 1% doctrine, which was supposedly based on a quote from Dick Cheney: If there’s a 1% chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al-Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response. It’s not about our analysis … It’s about our response.

Or to quote Ronin, when there’s any doubt, there is no doubt.

This is the level of panic and supposed care going on.  But what is missing in all this is the mass famines looming on the horizon from the disruptions in the food chain, mass drug overdoses and suicides and mental illnesses, disease fatalities that would not have been fatal if we hadn’t paralyzed our healthcare system for no reason, the excess mortality from increases in unemployment, Etc.

The whole thing is a cluster fuck.  If I might retool an old metaphor, it is literally like investing all your time fixing a window while your building is on fire.  Saving 1 life and losing 5 because of how you saved the one life is stupid.  And it’s not even clear that one life was saved.

If we had done nothing more than ask everyone older than 55 to wear masks, and to shop at designated times at their local stores, and for people in poor health to do their best to stay home and not socialize, far fewer people would have died.  Cuomo and others in effect murdered tens of thousands of people with stupid policy. 

Measurably: https://twitter.com/MdKnightBabe/status/1275537902009675776

The video of George Floyd being murdered would have been immediately pulled from the internet, and everyone who saw it arrested and never seen again.  The government would have made a statement indicating that the People’s Revolution continued and that even though counter-revolutionary elements were trying to sabotage them that the representatives of the people were performing heroically in protecting the working people and middle classes.

Same with Breonna Taylor, whose death was a necessary outcome of the struggle against Fascists and counter-revolutionaries.

All deaths, by State sponsored and controlled police, would be deemed vitally and regrettably necessary, and all conflicting footage and people made to disappear.

Put another way, any honest person who genuinely wanted to improve the world would not last a New York minute in an authentic Communist regime.  They would disappear without a trace, and lies would be told about them in their absence.

I don’t understand why academics, who could and should study what is now open history, well attested by thousands if not tens of thousands of people, continue to fail to draw obvious and inescapable conclusions.  For my own part, it is hard not to believe they WANT bloodshed, death, pain, and an irrational and omnipotent State.

I have, of course, argued this often.  At some point, the switch flips, and they root for the bad.

One very plausible, and perhaps even attractive explanation for why Trump is not engaging in mass arrests of Antifa is that they are helping him in many ways.  The people they are hurting, by and large, live in solidly, ridiculously, reflexively Blue States. If he comes busting in there with Federal agents, the Governors and Mayors who have been failing their citizens, who are betraying the trust given them, can blame Trump, and refocus all the bad on him, which the mass of their citizenry are only too happy to allow them to do.  None of them want to face the lunacy and destructiveness of their own.

So allowing the shit show to continue can only help Trump, and stopping it forcefully is, on balance, likely to hurt him politically.  Conservatives, of course, see how wrong and awful all this is, but the Left does not.  And if he can’t continue peeling moderates away from the hard core nutjobs, then he is not making progress in the cultural war of ideas.

It is sometimes said of Trump that he plays “3D chess”, by which is meant chess with added complications, making him some sort of complicated genius.  I think there is genius in him, but it is instinctual.  If he were the former kind of genius, it would show in his speech, and it doesn’t.  He struggles to get out, often, what seem to be clear sentiments and clear images in his head.

Rather, what he has across his lifetime had is a sense of where things are going, what the Big Picture will look like at some point in the future, and he intuitively finds ways of getting in tune with and benefiting from and often influencing for the better existing underlying but subtle patterns.

When one looks at a chess board, nothing ever changes, unless someone moves a piece.  You can replay to the last detail games that were played 100 years ago.

But in the real world, the “pieces” move themselves.  The whole thing is in constant flux and agitation.  Moves are made for you, and moves are made for your opponent.

Quite often, in such a situation, the best “move” is doing nothing, and waiting for your opponent to paint themselves into a corner, as the Left seems to be doing.  They could checkmate themselves without him lifting a finger.  As I believe it says in the Art of War “when your enemy is making mistakes, never interfere.”

This would be chess with a time component, a dynamic, mutable component.  This, I think he plays really, really well.  He’s not so much thinking 5 moves ahead as SEEING five moves ahead.  It’s an important difference.  His intellect is about what it appears to be.  But his intuition is vastly, vastly better than that of most people, and when tied to his confidence and pugnacity, the package presented is just what we need.  I wish he had Churchill’s eloquence, but I will settle for his willingness to fight, and for his instincts and vision.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-racial-jungle-quote/

“Unless we do something about this [busing], my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”


Ponder in this regard, too, that Biden was politically active in 1977.  That was 43 years ago.  Carter was in office.

Many conservatives must feel much like the British did in 1940, after the spectacular and rapid collapse of Western Europe in the face of Nazi onslaught.  Eventual Nazi victory must have seemed inevitable, and continued resistance futile.

If you watch the excellent movie “The Darkest Hour”, Churchill himself came close to reaching the same conclusion.  But he didn’t.  And history is infinitely better for it.

We are waging a culture war.  What is daunting is the sheer volume of imbecility, ignorance, hatred, violence, and thirst for social and perhaps eventually physical blood.  Most of us are afraid to speak our minds.  Most of us KNOW that we are articulating the winning arguments, and that the little demons opposing us are hurting the very people they claim to be helping, and that every “advance” they make dims all the human spirits they touch just a little bit more.

And in this culture war, what should be our policy?

You ask, What is our policy? I will say; ‘It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.’ You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory-victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.

How does one wage culture war by sea, land and air?  This is a logistical question, is it not, and logistics the proper domain and concern of professional generals?

I think step one is we need to establish as a strategic goal the reestablishment of sanity in our public domain.  This goal is actually logistical, since it is a necessary rallying point for all our thought and effort.  I have seen many commentaries on why and how our educated elites have gone mad, but never, that I can think of, the goal set forth clearly that our end aim is the restoration of a genuinely liberal and informed temperament in our public domain.

We have set as our goal losing more slowly.  That is not an acceptable goal.  The goal should be full victory.

And full victory looks like the disappearance of lunatic Communist propaganda, and the reinstatement of reason and fact as primary tools of public discourse.

Full victory looks like intelligent policy that, among other things, FINALLY works to enable the black community to rise above its recent past.

What are our tools?  The most obvious one is speech: clear, well reasoned speech.  That is what I try to provide here.

Our opponents–the opponents of reason, rationality, effectiveness and genuine decency–have of course taken control of most mass media.  Their lies echo and multiply everywhere, in precisely the form in which they were crafted, across the world the moment they release them, where they are then amplified by reliable ideological parrots.

This is a powerful weapon.  Here is Jonathan Swift:

Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…

We need to understand that our opponents are skilled at what they do.  Mass deception is their specialty, and they spend much time and effort getting better at it.  This truth, itself, is vital.  It is vital to grasp that their lying is conscious, considered, and intended as a weapon of influence.  Self evidently, their propaganda targets do not grasp this.  In this interaction, obviously, there are the liars and those who believe the lies.  One factor which helps them is ginning up large quantities of induced emotion.  This is the point of Agitation Propaganda.

One tool it seems to me could be used to greater effect is arresting people for Sedition.  We have the right to free speech in this country, but not the right to call for violence, and specifically not the right to call for the violent overthrow of the government.  People who do this should be arrested and put in prison for amounts of time suitable to changing their minds.  Perhaps they should be made to read and pass tests on a variety of books written from a sane historical and economic perspective, which would be quite different from the forced labor and recitation of meaningless slogans of Communist psychological torture camps.  Perhaps they should be made to meditate, to calm their agitated minds.  Unquestionably they should be offered mental health resources like Neurofeedback, and Audio-Visual Entrainment, and Cranial-electrical Stimulation.  I would generalize this, actually, to all prisoners for all crimes.

And this is an obvious point, but we need more moral courage.  More people need to speak their minds, and be protected by their leaders when they do so.  Presidents of companies and universities need to stop being such fucking cowards.

Courage is really the simultaneous presence of fear and the overcoming of fear.  The opposite is simply asking what fear wants to buy another hour, and giving in to it without hesitation.

I continue to believe that a Manhattan Project of sorts should be convened on the topic of the after-life, and our native interconnections on a spiritual level.  I think the root atheism, and to be sure in many cases root demonic energies of the Left will wilt in the face of SCIENTIFIC evidence both that we survive death, and that evil has terrible consequences for its practitioners.

Many of the elites pushing global government led terror on us seem to undergo two Black Communions.  First they drink from the cup of Communism, and then they drink from the cup of the openly Demonic.  I may lose some there, but that is my honest opinion.  I myself have been attacked by demons many times.

At some point, Trump needs mass arrests, of all the people trying to undermine and destroy this country and breaking the law in so doing.  It may need to wait until after the election, but it needs to happen.

And there needs to be  mass disclosure of all the rottenness and evil that has been going on.  It needs to be so large, so well documented, and so obvious that people cannot ignore it, and ordinary people regain the upper hand in shaming those who doubt it. Right now, lies have advanced to where they can shame ordinary people of good will and common sense.

Joe Biden is a senile, imbecilic, pedophilic, racist rapist.  He is also a number of years older than the oldest President we have ever elected.  If you might permit me to state the obvious, he is a terrible, terrible candidate.

Donald Trump will only lose, in my view–particularly once the full cost of these shut downs starts to trickle into public awareness–by cheating.

He tweeted the other day that he thinks other nations–China being the obvious candidate–plan to help Democrats cheat by forging mail-in ballots.  I don’t even care if this is true or not.  It is OBVIOUS beyond any doubt they plan to use forged or stolen ballots to cheat.

I think he would be within his rights to issue a National Security Finding, or Executive Order, mandating either that mail-in ballots not be used, or that they be confined to those who used on in the last national Presidential election.  2018 pretty obviously had a lot of shady shit happen, where four major elections were decided at the last moment by bags of ballots somebody conveniently “found” after the other candidate had taken the lead.

This alone would be devastating to Democrats.  I think as well that if he can invoke the potential interference of other foreign powers, then he may be able to issue an Executive Order mandating Voter ID, to prevent foreign agents from influencing our election.  After all, the Democrats, on forged evidence, spent three years tormenting Trump over similar claims.  They can’t now claim they don’t care about foreign agents influencing or swaying our election.  Well, they can–many Americans really are that stupid–but it is a battle Trump can fight and in enough cases win, that it would be worth fighting.

But more than anything I will say grasp and value and even cling to the truth as you see it.  Grasp and hold your  own individual perspective.  Allow yourself to ask if what someone is saying makes sense to you, and if not, what the actual truth may be.  Allow yourself to see that most of our national media has been taken over by people who mean America no good, who do not love this country, who do not care about you, and who plan to destroy the legal protections afforded all of us by the Constitution at their earliest opportunity.

This does not mean there is no media out there telling the truth.  And the core, obvious truth you need to always remember is that Trump stands in the way of powerful, entrenched elites who want to submerge the entire planet into a technocratic tyranny, where your every last move is known, evaluated, judged, and when unacceptable, punished.  They want the opposite of your happiness and well being.  They want you unhappy and fearful, and they want this for a very long time.

Our modern Blitz is the news.  Every day more attacks on everything good come.  Every day our nerves seem to frazzle a bit more.  And the preparatory work of separating us emotionally and socially contributes to this Blitz.  We lack the consolation the Brits had of one anothers company.  If you are reading this, you still have the internet.  There are still those of us out there who refuse to accept the notion that these evil lunatics are destined to rule the world.

Keep the faith, as well as you can.  Tell the truth, whenever and wherever you can.  Wear a mask if you have absolutely no choice, but don’t forget that in nearly all contexts it is worthless, and the national intent that of breaking us down as faceless herd animals still further.

Britain cannot have been a happy place, anticipating a land invasion by one of the most powerful militaries every created any day, and being bombed nearly nightly.  It is easy to give in to despair.

But don’t.  Keep your chin up, figuratively and literally, and keep the faith.  It may all turn out well even now.

I feel this most recent Blitz fading in power.  They cannot  keep the press going indefinitely without push back.  And even Californians might be wondering why they felt the need to topple Cervantes and Francis Scott Key.

There is hope, whether you can see or feel it through this manufactured mist of fear or not.

Ask yourself: if the media is not applauding this, whose side are they on?

Is there anyone out there still capable of thought who has not figured this out?

That little bug in my brain that compels me to be consistent and competent is telling me to admit that masks may also make sense in buses, subways, airplanes, and other crowded places.

However, what needs to be factored into all this is that COVID-19 represents almost no danger whatever for anyone under 55, and that part of living in a free society is determining the level of risk you are willing to accept.

I personally think that people who feel safer wearing masks should certainly do so, but that the rest of us should be allowed to take our chances.

We KNOW what the “typical” person looks like who will die from this. They are suffering from multiple chronic illnesses, and their “insides” are already compromised in many ways.

And as I think about it, we ALSO need to factor into the death rates all the people in effect murdered by putting them on ventilators.

Remember ventilators?  They were the reason for “flatten the curve”, and “flatten the curve” was the reason our governments told us we no longer had freedom of work and freedom of movement three months ago.

“Flatten the curve” was a period of roughly two weeks of staying home which was going to allow the hospitals to ramp up for a flood of cases, and was designed to prevent them from being overwhelmed, and to get a sufficient supply of ventilators and PPE.

The flood never came, causing a massive financial hardship to most hospitals, who cancelled everything else (which was tragic for many, and likely caused and will continue to cause a lot of deaths and misery.  I personally know someone who really, really needs a hip replacement surgery to continue working, but who can’t get it because of the fucking policies in place even now), and the ventilators turned out to weapons of mass unnecessary death.

If you are not mad yet, why the fuck are you reading this blog?  It’s not written for fucking idiots.

As I previously guesstimated, about 93% of COVID deaths are in the 55 and up population.  As I also pointed out, based on Navy and cruise ships from a number of nations, it appears that about a third of the population–at least the military age, which is to say under 55–seems to have a natural immunity for some reason.

The overall death rate from COVID appears to be about .4% among all infected.

This means that for an average person under the age of 55, their chance of dying from an exposure to COVID is, ON THE HIGH SIDE, .07x.66x.004

7% of the deaths are under the age of 55, hence the .07.  1 would be 100%

.66 seems to be the percentage of the population which CAN get it.  Again, 1 would be 100%

And .004 of course seems to be the overall death rate, but if 1 is 100%, then .4, as in a bit less than one half of one percent, is I believe .004.

Math is not my particular thing, but I was competent at the basics at one time, and believe my numbers hold.

Multiplying this out, I get .0000085.  If I round it up to .000009, then that works out to–I am going to work this out typing.   If 1 equals 100%, then .1 equals 10%, .01 1%, .001 one in a thousand, .001 ten thousand, .0001 100,000, .00001 1 million, and .000001 10 million.  A 9 in ten million risk.  Rounded up, let’s just call it an even one in a million.

For comparison, in the most dangerous State for driving, Montana, your risk annually of dying in a car accident on an annual basis is 1 in 4,433.  The safest “State” is Washington D.C. (where public transit is common), where the risk is 1 in 32,333.

Thus driving in the safest “State” in the country is very roughly 100 (32,333 times ten is 320,333, and times 100 3.2 million) times more dangerous than COVID-19, for anyone under 55.

And I say on the high side, because being EXPOSED does not mean getting infected.  These would be the risks of dying if someone under 55 were INJECTED with it.  1 in 3 would still not get sick, and only 7%  of .4% would die.

Finally, if you are HEALTHY the risk also goes down.  All the young people I’ve seen reports on who have died of COVID-19 had risk factors like obesity, diabetes and the like.  If you exercise, get plenty of sun, take Vitamin D and C supplements and have a healthy weight and blood profile, you could likely reduce this number by another factor of 10.

So this disease represents virtually ZERO risk to anyone under 55.  There exists no valid reason not to open things up 100% to all such people.

And all those young people need to really, really start asking what the fuck just happened, and for some inexplicable reason continues to happen.
