It pretty much means that no more whistleblowers will come forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess the phrase now is \u201cSee Something, Say NOTHING!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the corruption will be allowed to grow and will do so without opposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawyers who are in many cases useless, will now be even MORE useless because they\u2019ll be afraid of the government using RICO statues and insurrection charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going backwards. With just a few more iterations of corrupt law fare. We won\u2019t have a presidential election. We\u2019ll have WarLords being \u201cElected\u201d via a Thunderdome process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That would be interesting\u2026 No debates, just a fight to the death to determine who leads. Go ahead, laugh.  It sounds outlandish, but lately the most outlandish theories often turn out to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember when Ivermectin was a dangerous Horse Dewormer? (<em>That assertion was an outright LIE!<\/em>) Well guess what? Ivermectin is back in the WHO list of wonder medications for humans, and there\u2019s also a recent peer reviewed study that says flat out Ivermectin is also an effective treatment for COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As recently as 1 year ago saying something like the paragraph above would be shouted down as a <strong>DANGEROUS<\/strong> CONSPIRACY THEORY. I\u2019d have been banned from Twitter &amp; Facebook. I\u2019d have been canceled and written off as a lunatic nut job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well bucko what are you going to say now? Still going to cancel me? Do you still feel the need to silence the freaking truth? A truth I might add that a <strong><em>very few<\/em><\/strong> courageous Doctors fought to bring to the public\u2019s attention during the pandemic. A truth that in some cases cost them their careers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where is the outrage about that? When will we see conspirators in THIS LIE, appearing for booking at jails?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and you jackasses in Sacramento\u2026 I haven\u2019t forgotten that you were trying to pass laws that would strip a Doctor of their license to practice medicine if they had the temerity to speak out against the politically controlled narrative. You know, if they spoke about real science instead of manufactured bullshit designed to make a few people extremely rich, while terrorizing the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors, don\u2019t think I\u2019m defending you in general. I have a bone to pick with a bunch of doctors at a particular hospital. But those bastards and their incompetence are protected by law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s another one of those situations where Right and The Law do not, and never will intersect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll never trust a doctor again. I\u2019m even of half  a mind to never let someone put me under a general anesthetic again. I want to be able to check the surgeons work. Just a reminder, if a doctor can not explain their diagnosis, and proposed course of treatment, in plain simple English, <strong>find another doctor<\/strong>! Because the SOB you\u2019re dealing with, <strong>buries<\/strong> his mistakes, probably often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m jumping around because the circus going on Georgia is part of the same bullshit. It\u2019s the same show trial as the Jan 6th committee, the same as the impeachments, the same as Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop is Russian disinformation, the COVID vaccination will prevent you from getting COVID\u2026 Oh wait, the COVID vaccination will make COVID less severe, Oh wait\u2026 It\u2019s the same circus that had President Biden threatening the American people with \u201cget a vaccination <strong>OR ELSE<\/strong>! \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had enough of this endless stream of runny bullshit.  I know that I\u2019m not alone in having reached my maximum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much as I hate to think of voting anymore in California. I\u2019m so angry and disgusted I\u2019d vote for  a clone of Hitler at this point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing about all this bread and circus shit is that I am personally embarrassed for my country. This is humiliating on the world stage and all these shitty politicians have no shame whatsoever. They should! I\u2019d be all for bringing back Stocks in the public square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately I don\u2019t think there\u2019s enough rotten fruits and vegetables to pelt our feckless politicians, and lifelong bureaucrats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m tired of TV and Movies with few exceptions. I think I\u2019ll get back into video gaming. At least the puzzles and stories are entertaining and mentally stimulating. Maybe I\u2019ll pick up a PS5 bundle I saw at Costco. It\u2019s pricy but all the game consoles are pricy. I think the Costco bundle includes some additional and useful items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How weird is that? I\u2019m in my 60s and I\u2019ve been reading a lot more, trying to avoid the news, not too interested in TV or current movies.  Hulu is useful for me to sample movies and TV, I usually don\u2019t make it though more than 15 mins of anything new. Here I am, contemplating a new game console. My Xbox 360 is pretty tired and the games I\u2019ve enjoyed most on Xbox are from independent studios who also produce their games for PlayStation. The only Xbox game I\u2019ll miss is Halo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an advantage in the PlayStation. It\u2019s Apple TV streaming capable, has a BluRay drive and therefore could serve as an \u201cAll In one\u201d solution if I end up in an apartment for a while. I\u2019ll have to do something interesting for a sound system. But that\u2019s a bridge I\u2019ll burn when I get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m still batting the issue around. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a stupid mess!
