And the insane beat goes on…

‘Right’ is ‘Wrong’, ‘Wrong’ is ‘Right’. ‘Wrongthink’ is punishable, ‘Rightthink’ is rewarded.

I swear it’s Owellian!

Governor “Gruesome” Newsom kept his job this week. Not that there was much doubt he would. In a state as loaded with Democrats as California it’s surprising that there was even a recall election at all.

The State Democrats though, have responded to this existential “Threat” to their power by taking steps to limit the possibility of recall elections in the future. In my cynical brain, that means that the law will probably read something like; “No recall election shall be permitted against an elected official of the Democratic Party. However any elected Republican Official may be recalled at any time. The recall process shall only require 1/4 of the California Legislature’s approval, no mass election shall be necessary.”

Their justification will be something along the lines of being fiscally responsible; “By doing away with the mass public election cycle the state will be able to save millions of tax payers dollars.”

General Mark Milley Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pretty much committed treason in the last days of Former President Trumps administration. This one is head snapping for someone like myself.

Milley claims that he was concerned about Trump launching nuclear weapons against the Chinese. I ask, in what universe is that even a concern? It’s not like the President of the United States can just arbitrarily decide to launch nukes. The only scenario I know of where The President can initiate a launch on his own authority, is If missile are already flying toward the US.

Otherwise, Congress has the authority. If there is not a state of war between the US and another country nukes are not an option. The President can scream and yell all he or she wants, but the launch isn’t supposed to happen. Congress wouldn’t agree, and the Military would in theory be well within their rights to refuse to carry out such an illegal order.

What Milley did, was well beyond refusing an illegal order. No such order had been given. Milley went behind not only the sitting President’s back. Apparently he also acted without the Secretary of Defense’s knowledge. Here we have a General contacting a foreign, technically ‘hostile’ government while at the same time attempting to route any and all orders and communications through his office alone.

That folks is not only treasonous, it’s the stuff of a banana republic coup d’état. That’s how you end up with military dictators for life. How many times have we seen something like this play out in other countries over the past 60 years?

You can bet your ass if Milley had done the same thing at the end of say, Joe Biden’s administration. Congress would be screaming for his head on a pike. Let’s face it, Joe Biden in his current state is far more likely to issue such an illegal order.

Can you say Afghanistan???

Unsurprisingly, Nancy Pelosi is in the shadows. The Pentagon has confirmed that she and Milley were colluding prior to Milley contacting his counterpart in the Chinese Government.

Of greater concern to me, is that none of the officers under General Milley stood up refusing to accept or execute what was very probably an illegal order from General Milley. They had that option. They too swore an oath to protect and defend The Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

The fact that none of the other Admirals and Generals in that room with Milley had the balls to level charges of sedition and treason is flat out terrifying. In elder times, Milley would have been clapped in irons and brought before a military tribunal within days.

The terrifying part for me is their lack of action, or concern, suggests that they can be bought. I’m sure that intelligence officers in every hostile nation are right now trying to figure out how to buy a senior member of the Joint Chiefs.

I look at it this way. They didn’t say anything because either they were worried about their careers, pensions and retirement, or they are amenable to the overthrow of the United States.

Either way, it’s like the old joke about the guy propositioning a woman in a bar.

Guy: “Would you sleep with me for a $100?”
Woman: “Absolutely not!”
Guy: “Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?”
Woman: “Maybe, do you have a million dollars? I don’t want you to think I’m a whore.”
Guy: “We’ve already established you’re a whore, now we’re just haggling over price.”

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that there have been huge offers of cash extended from foreign governments, to various upper level staff in The Pentagon.

Milley’s continued presence in his position besmirches the honor of our military, and demonstrates that we are weak in that, we aren’t even up to the task of enforcing our own laws.

Milley shouldn’t resign. Milley should be arrested, and brought before a Military Tribunal, then tried under the UCMJ. I think the penalty for treason is still death. If he’s found guilty, so be it.

(Just a reminder, I’m not now and haven’t been in the military. Therefore, I might be a little unclear on the details of how this works. Military folks reading this, please correct me via comments.)

Speaking of the 25th amendment…

There are still people banging on about Donald Trump. Saying that he should have been removed from office via the 25th amendment.

Really? You’re still harping on that? Newsflash… Donald Trump isn’t The President anymore!

In the immortal words of Hillary Rodham Clinton, “What does it matter at this point anyway?”

You folks out there still bitching about the 25th, might want to shut up. The 25th amendment applies equally to any sitting President. Just sayin…

In closing here is something that I was personally gratified to see.

The Riverside County Sheriff is refusing to implement the vaccine mandate.

The Sheriff cites The Constitution and his oath of office in his decision. I swear I’d like to shake this man’s hand and buy him a beer.

Thank God there are still some men in this country who have a set of balls.

So that’s the highlights of the news. Well, not all the highlights, these are the things that caught most of my attention this week.

I’m still waiting to see how badly insulted the Australians are by Biden forgetting who he was talking to during the announcement of AUKUS defense pact.

Biden called the Australian Prime Minister, “That fella down under…”

Not an auspicious beginning to a new defense pact.

Is The President out of his damn mind?

I was stunned this morning when I heard about President Biden’s vaccination mandate speech.

US President Joe Biden delivers remarks on plans to stop the spread of the Delta variant and boost Covid-19 vaccinations at the State Dinning Room of the White House, in Washington, DC on September 9, 2021. (Photo by Brendan Smialowski / AFP) (Photo by BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images)

How does this build unity?

There are a lot of reasons to get the vaccination, there are a lot of reasons not to. It is, and should be a personal choice.

Keeping your job should not factor into it. Submitting weekly to someone jabbing something up your nose isn’t going to make anybody pleasant to deal with.

Where the hell was OSHA when hepatitis was all the rage in the 90’s. Why did I have to cough up the money out of pocket to get the hepatitis vaccine to protect myself from outbreak after outbreak in various workplaces?

The President said that employers should provide paid time off for their employees to go get the vaccine. But notably he said nothing about employers paying for the employee to have a swab shoved up their nose once a week.

In my particular case that process will no doubt cause massive nose bleeds due to sinus problems. I’m not talking a little spotting, I’m talking gushing like you’ve got a broken nose or are going to bleed out.

Problems by the way that my former employer couldn’t seem to be able to schedule a day or two of my earned vacation time to allow me to address.

It’s telling that I worked for them for 3 years and when they laid me off the HR person commented, looking at my final paycheck, that I hadn’t used any vacation time. Just sayin… There are a lot of very petty managers in some “Low Skill” jobs who can’t be bothered to approve scheduled time off for an employee 6 months in advance, but they have no trouble scheduling their own vacations throughout the year. Again, Just sayin…

To hear a sitting President of the United States of America say, “This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Is a completely WTF moment.

“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Yeah, Biden said that too. WHAT? If they’re vaccinated why do they need protection? Isn’t that what the vaccination is supposed to do?

“If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my powers as president to get them out of the way,” Biden said that too.

What the hell does that mean? Does he think he’s going to somehow annex troublesome states into some mega state that is directly under Federal control in Washington? Will he violate The Posse Comitatus Act by deploying the US Military in this “Mega State” to enforce his will?

This is the kind of thing that brought about the civil war.

80 million people (by Joes count) just unlocked their gun safes.

In the coming weeks, he is going to wonder why the FBI is doing 100% more background checks than they already are. Ammunition manufacturers are on the one hand saying, “Well shit, we’ll never keep up now.” and on the other hand they’re thinking that the shareholders are going to be very pleased with the end of year results.

I’ve never been so angry at a President in my life. (I watched Nixon leave office like a criminal, I lived through the Carter years, and the Clinton scandal!)

On balance, additional articles are being published that say this mandate will probably not be on the books until sometime next year (if at all).

Perhaps by that time we’ll all have figured out that Joe was just posturing. Maybe if we’re lucky he’ll be retired or impeached and we’ll just be dealing with Kamala’s incompetence.

This is not my country anymore.

The President is essentially saying that we should no longer have the right to decide what goes into our body and still be allowed to have a job. How long then sir until mandatory DNA testing of fetuses in the womb to determine if they are worthy to be born? Will we then, force women to have abortions? Will we begin selective breeding programs with our population? There was a little man once in Germany who thought that was a good idea.

If We The People, are reduced to the status of “Property of the State” why shouldn’t our government begin a breeding program? If we exist only to serve, then we needn’t have free will or creativity. The government could do quite well with a population that was physically strong, disposable, prolific, minimally educated, and which took commands without question.

The dystopian nightmare I describe above is obviously hyperbole. I use it to illustrate how different the America of today, appears from the America I was raised to believe in, for people like myself.

Honestly, there are times when I’d swear I’m living in a science fiction novel. 

What happened to following the science?

I do not discount the seriousness of COVID, I do question the efficacy of the vaccines. That is my right. COVID in a healthy population is 99.8% survivable. The CDC’s own data bear that out. 

The numbers presented yesterday by Jen Psaki, 140,000 new cases and 1000 deaths per day, using simple math, the result is a death rate of 0.00714286. That number is statistically zero. Anybody should be able to do that math. 

That being said, the death rate is probably even lower, because not all of the 140,000 detected cases are likely to result in anything more than a slight cough or fever.  The end result of which will be broad ranging immunity to COVID.

In 2019 the United States averaged 8,159 deaths per day. Not to minimize the loss to family members of those people, but death is a natural event. Yet we have the White House Press Secretary touting 1000 deaths per day as some kind of national emergency. Where is the science there? Where is the logic?

When the creator of mRNA techniques says that his work in the field was not useful for vaccines due to the possibility of mRNA giving rise to variants and should therefore not be used to create vaccines, is he not the authority on the subject?

If we’re supposed to “Follow the science” I ask the simple question, how is The President’s proposed mandate following any science?

I am not chattel.

I am not a slave.

I am a free person, whose rights are protected under The Bill of Rights and The Constitution of the United States of America. The government works for the people, not the other way around.

It’s well past time to metaphorically grab the government by its collar and say BAD GOVERNMENT! BAD! Then Rub their nose in the pile of shit on the living room floor. To remind them who’s the boss.

I’d say We The People start that process with an impeachment right now.

The CDC and Dr Fauci are just casting the bones at this point.

Yep, I’m conflating both of them to nothing more than witchdoctors and quack snake oil salesmen of old.

Masking, Social Distance, for God’s sake get the Vaccine! Oh, ummm. Okay everyone stay masked up.

300 years of scientific progress in medicine and this is the best they can come up with?

Don’t mention the battle over the last decade between the medical establishment and anti-vaxxers. This should give the anti-vaxx crowd years of ammunition.

The current CDC guidance is, in many people’s minds, admitting that vaccines don’t work. That would be funny, if it wasn’t so sad.

It’s also not going to minimize the vaccine hesitancy either, I mean what’s the point? COVID still gonna get ya, vaccinated or not.

The Medical establishment and “Science” are going to have to come up with a lot of cures and very successful treatments over the next few decades to earn any of their credibility back. Immortality might be a good start.

BTW, Those cures had better not come with 10K price tags either. A lot of people on various sites are commenting that they’ve lost all faith in the CDC, the government, their Doctors, and most especially Fauci.

I personally loath Fauci. So take what I say next with a grain of salt, or a salt lick if needed.

Fauci hasn’t changed his spots for 40 years. In the early days of AIDS he stood in the way of experimental and alternative treatments. He was banging the same drum about clinical trials and trusting the science and how more research was needed.

Just as he has recently about Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and any treatments that other reputable studies outside the US have shown to be effective for the treatment of COVID-19, Ya know, the Wuhan disease… The China Virus…

As today, there were lots of reputable studies being done outside the US that showed promise in minimizing the effects of AIDS. Fauci would hear none of it. As a result, thousands died, horribly and oftentimes alone.

Sound familiar???

What is new in Fauci’s nasty bag of tricks is an experimental vaccine with emergency FDA authorization.

This time around Fauci was ready to cash in on the profits from his holdings in pharmaceutical companies. With AIDS he had to wait a while before approved treatments were developed where he could cash in.

It doesn’t matter to him how many people die as long as he gets his cut. Getting his cut means new drugs, that are patentable.

Old drugs that can be manufactured inexpensively and easily where the patents ran out, are of no interest to Saint Fauci of the mask, even if they’re effective.

Now we have the revelation that Fauci’s organization may have indirectly been funding “Gain of function” research in China. Unsurprisingly at a Wuhan lab which does a lot of research with bats, and by a strange coincidence is where the China Virus COVID-19 first appeared.

If you recall, Fauci said that COVID-19 originated in wet markets where people came into contact with the progenitor virus that became COVID-19. The media was lit up with reports of the virus having suddenly jumped from bat to human. Yet, no trace of that COVID-19 virus evolutionary path has been detected in the caves were the bats live, the wet market, or anywhere else.

Way back in the early days of the AIDS crisis there were reports that HIV had originated from SIV (Simian immunodeficiency virus). At the time there were wild rumors of people having sex with monkeys and that provided the pathway for SIV to mutate into HIV. More realistic reports suggested that the SIV-HIV mutation had been facilitated due to people eating infected monkeys.

Sound familiar?

It occurs to me that, people in both China & Africa have been eating bats and monkeys as part of their cultural delicacies for thousands of years, isn’t it odd that after thousands of years, within a span of 40 years TWO viral strains would suddenly make the jump to humans?

Back in the AIDS days, there were also rather persistent rumors that AIDS had been created in labs by scientists in the Jungles of Africa. These rumors often came from tribal peoples indigenous to the area and were largely discounted because they were “tribal people” it was assumed they didn’t know what they were looking at regarding modern scientific research. The tribal people insisted that they saw hundreds of burned monkey bodies in pits near the labs.

These accounts were universally ignored as pure fantasies of a frightened ignorant group of people.

Maybe they weren’t frightened or ignorant. Maybe they reported exactly what they saw, and they reported it because they perceived it as a terrible waste of meat. To a hunter society, burning hundreds of “meals” would have been offensive enough that they’d have spoken about it.

The slaughter of the buffalo for their skins was unpardonably wasteful to the Native American tribes who were dependent on the buffalo for sustenance. The slaughter proved to the Tribes of North America that the white people were completely insane.

I find myself asking, if there were labs, what were they doing? What were they researching? Why were they there? Were these actually hospitals or clinics that the tribal folks misidentified? Or were they really research labs engaging in bad juju as the tribal folks claimed?

Today, something like 46% of Simians in Africa, have Simian immunodeficiency virus. I wasn’t able to determine if that is a constant percentage, meaning that it has always been that way, or if this is a new phenomena.

If it has always been that way, then you’d expect for the jump to humans to have occurred a long time ago, not “yesterday” in terms of human existence.

Is Fauci’s proximity to both occurrences coincidental? Does he just have bad luck like Hillary Clinton, with friends, associates, enemies, or employees, committing suicide?

Where was Fauci in the SARS epidemic? That too originated in Asia, might that have been a misfire?

Is Anthony Fauci the American version of Josef Mengele? This time though the monster has the whole world to experiment on?

Is there any correlation to AIDS and COVID-19 impact on rather specific populations? AIDS decimated the gay community in some cities. COVID-19 has, disproportionately affected Black, Brown, Yellow, and aged communities. That is what has been reported by various news outlets.

If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d be asking: Might this be by design? Kill off the old. (because they remember inconvenient truths.) Kill off or weaken the “undesirables” because of some grand eugenic design. Then your so called “Master Race”, or “Elite Overlords”, can implement whatever draconian idea of paradise might be. The Third Reich would be proud if they’d come up with a similar plan and the technology to implement it.

Just a further observation. The 1925 Geneva Protocol and its subsequent additions and ratifications prohibit the use of Chemical or Biological weapons.

This isn’t just altruism. It’s pragmatic. The release of Chemical weapons often affects both sides of a conflict. A change in the wind could see your own troops choking from mustard gas you fired at the enemy.

Biological weapons are worse because biology has a nasty habit of continuing to reproduce. The wind simply blowing after a biological weapon is released, could end all wars everywhere on the planet permanently.

It is for these reasons that wise politicians and thinkers have agreed not to use weapons like this.

If COVID-19 is a violation of these wise agreements. Then the perpetrators (creators) must be hunted down, and brought to justice in an international court of law.

Anthony Fauci may find himself in court at The Hague instead of arguing semantics in front of Congress.

That would be a good day, especially if he was brought to justice for all crimes he’s committed throughout the years.

Rest Easy my friends named on the quilt… Your day of justice may finally be at hand.
