How The Corruption Works

 This clip from the Darkhorse crew is a great explainer on why academia is/has fallen and how further institutions will fall until or unless there is a great deal of pushback. That pushback, as far as I'm concerned, should be a mass removal of those persons, removal of the "grievance studies" masquerading as actual academics (ie: African history classes that can be properly taught without the grievance sub [or super] text)

Feminism's Fallout Continues Apace

 I remember back in the day when I was sympathetic to feminism. I would dare say that I may have been considered a feminist male.

Yeah, yeah yeah...

That all came to a halt when I started having disagreements with [certain] women about certain positions that they held.  I was told that because I was a man I couldn't speak upon certain subjects.

What?

Yes, no matter how smart I was. No matter what facts I brought to the table, the simple fact that I had a penis (remember this was pre WW Tranny) anything I had to say was null and void.

Well, I was certainly not amenable to THAT position. That situation also made me realize how much of a hypocrite I was for telling non-blacks the same thing: You're not black therefore what you say is of no value.

Thankfully I no longer hold either position. Either you make a sound argument with supporting evidence or you do not. I don't care who you are or what your position may be. If you're correct, you're correct. But back to the feminists. I foresaw that their rigidity and devotion to oppression olympics would be their own undoing. Ultimately they would bring great harm to women while having so called "good intentions". See once they played the "you can't speak unless you are this..." and "this [act] is inherently oppressive", the death spiral is unavoidable. Here's the latest example:


 "On Friday, the video game company Limited Run Games fired their community manager, a woman named Kara Lynn, after a far-left trans activist using the name Purple Tinker demanded the company either fire Lynn because she followed conservative users on Twitter such as Ian Miles Cheong and Libs of Tik Tok, or lose their support. "
I'm not clear as to who this "support" is supposed to be, but I doubt the tranny in question is a paying customer.

That's an aside though. A man in a dress got an actual woman fired because HE didn't like Her follow list.

Welcome to the "you have no rights that a tranny must respect" world. You paved the way for it.

""The community manager for @LimitedRunGames, @/KaraLynne0326, is a transphobe who follows a veritable who's who of right-wing transphobic creeps.Unless and until she is fired from the company permanently, I am not giving them another single dime. (CW: Transphobia)," Purple Tinker tweeted at the company on January 6 at 9:06 am.

At 5:40 pm the same day, on their Twitter account, Limited Run Games announced that Lynn had been fired and wrote "LRG respects all personal opinions, however we remain committed to supporting an inclusive culture. Upon investigating a situation, an employee was terminated. Our goal as a company is to continue to foster a positive and safe environment for everyone.""

 This company fired the employee in less than 24 hours of this posting. Think about that. They fired this person for reasons that had nothing to do with their job performance. There wasn't even the hint of treating a customer disrespectfully. This random man in a dress just "atted" a company and that company just did their bidding.

Now THAT's POWER.

Say can a random white person get a black person fired within 24 hours by sending a tweet to their employer ? 

Asking for the local white supremacist.

Oh and apparently the tranny in question is an advocate for statutory rape:

wrote user Sophia Narwitz, who added screen grabs of Purple Tinker advocating for sex between adults and minors.

That's what this game company wants as customers.

Strange times.

Hard to be sympathetic though. The warning signs were there for anyone paying attention. Shoulda spoke up when those feminists were going off the rails.

The Political Officers

 In the move The Hunt for Red October, captain Ramius has a conversation with and then kills the political officer. The purpose of this political officer was to make sure that no one on ship has "bad thoughts" or acts in a manner not acceptable by the Russian state.  Such officers were discussed in the great book The Gulag Archipelago.  A hall mark of these communist regimes are officers of the state who enforce political correctness among the people. Don't want any reactionaries out there. In America such a thing was the subject of ridicule as free people under this thing called "democracy" don't do such things.

Really?

Do you all remember when that  Charlie Hebdo massacre? Remember how it was all "Je Suis Charlie  Hebdo"?

Remember Salmon Rushdie and his Satanic Verses? Oh how he got supported for being "so brave."

Ya'll remember the art exhibit in Brooklyn NY which featured among other things, a crucifix in a jar of urine? I do. I went and saw for myself. A lot of people were upset about that, yet the entire concept of freedom of expression won out.

"Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor at Hamline University, said she knew many Muslims have deeply held religious beliefs that prohibit depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. So last semester for a global art history class, she took many precautions before showing a 14th-century painting of Islam’s founder."

The prohibition against showing Mohammed only applies to Muslims. Period. When a Muslim tries to impose his strictures on you when you are not in a Muslim country is to tell them to flip off. 

"In the syllabus, she warned that images of holy figures, including the Prophet Muhammad and the Buddha, would be shown in the course. She asked students to contact her with any concerns, and she said no one did."

Personally, I think she went above and beyond.

In class, she prepped students, telling them that in a few minutes, the painting would be displayed, in case anyone wanted to leave.

Again, above and beyond. Secondly, the 'about to be offended" students had the opportunity to leave. They did not. You should know what that means.

"After Dr. López Prater showed the image, a senior in the class complained to the administration. Other Muslim students, not in the course, supported the student, saying the class was an attack on their religion. They demanded that officials take action."

So after being told it would happen, told it was OK to vacate the premises, they waited to be offended and then got their gang together.

This is not about an image.

Hamline’s president, Fayneese S. Miller, co-signed an email that said respect for the Muslim students “should have superseded academic freedom.”

Say what?

"“To look upon an image of the Prophet Muhammad, for many Muslims, is against their faith,” Dr. Miller’s statement said, adding, “It was important that our Muslim students, as well as all other students, feel safe, supported and respected both in and out of our classrooms.”"

This is that DEI talk. "sage supported and respected".Those students were in no danger. No person has an obligation to support any and everything some other person does or says, nor do all religious feelings (which this wasn't really about) have to be respected.

"“As a Muslim and a Black person, I don’t feel like I belong, and I don’t think I’ll ever belong in a community where they don’t value me as a member, and they don’t show the same respect that I show them.”"

The above quite is from a Sudanese student. My first response to her is that I KNOW the shit you left behind to come to the US, I can nearlhy guarantee that she is receiving more welcome at that school than at home (where being in the wrong area while being the wrong ethnic group could be a death sentence.)

Secondly she has NOT shown respect to the community she NOW finds herself in. If she understood that she wouldn't be speaking that nonsense. What she does know is that the magic words "Black" and "Muslim" create instant fear among the white woke.


 As Dr. López Prater predicted, Ms. Wedatalla reached out to administrators. Dr. López Prater, with Ms. Baker’s help, wrote an apology, explaining that sometimes “diversity involves bringing contradicting, uncomfortable and coexisting truths into conversation with each other.”

Stop with the apologizing

"Dr. López Prater said she was ready to move on. She had teaching jobs at other schools. But on Nov. 7, David Everett, the vice president for inclusive excellence, sent an email to all university employees, saying that certain actions taken in an online class were “undeniably inconsiderate, disrespectful and Islamophobic.”".
And there we have it folks, the political officer (DEI employee) spoke up to make sure the masses understood the official narrative.

"In interviews, several Islamic art scholars took issue with the idea that Dr. López Prater’s intent was to disrespect the prophet, and said that it was nothing like the cartoons in Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine that had reprinted mocking cartoons of Prophet Muhammad. That led to the deadly 2015 attack at the magazine’s offices, which the scholars also denounced."

I agree that it was not the intent of the instructor to disrespect her students or "The Prophet". Indeed, I would say that as a professional doing her job it should be fireable to do so while teaching. However; I do not draw such a line for the Charlie Hebdo cartoons which I posted here to the blog at the time. Muslim strictures apply to Muslims only. If there are a set of people who want to mock The Prophet, they have a right, in a liberal democracy to do so. I don't have to like it. You cannot make me look at it or make me draw such things, but you cannot stop others from doing so and definitely cannot murder them for it.

The adminstration should have handled the situation this way:

Why didn't you leave when the instructor told you the image was going to be shown?

Well this is how a liberal democracy works: You don't get to impose your restrictions on other people. If you have a problem with this, you are welcome to not return next semester. If you continue to harass the instructor you will be removed from the university without a refund. I guarantee an entire different attitude would emerge. 

Secondly, get these political officers out of these universities.

The Demonization of the Invaccinated

 I ran across this substack and had to share. I'll repeat here that for me March 2020 represented a turning point. It was a point where the things I assumed were shared understandings, and limits' among Americans turned out to be wrong. I was very aware that the left in particular had a thing about free speech. But to see them go to the point where 50% of them were good with imprisoning people for questioning the government and for refusing to participate in experimental medical procedures was a wake up call.

To see elected officials not only do completely unconstitutional things but would go on national TV and say that the things like the founding documents are "above their pay grade" (and therefore not their consideration or restraint) was shocking. Worse though is that citizens subject to these blatant violation of natural rights RE-ELECTED most of these people to second or more terms. And this is the topic here. How people in the so called "democratic" west went nuts because they were made to be afraid. Made to be afraid by "leaders" who, in my estimation, are having their strings pulled by other organizations with ulterior motives that *require* the destruction of nation states.

I present to you

A Look Back at the Demonization of the Unvaccinated

Vaccine Injury?

 Unless you don't follow football and don't follow the news or anything, you know that Damar Hamlin had a heart attack after being tackled (or tackling, I'm not clear on the details).  The Vaccine Guarda(tm) is out in force today to try to dismiss people who are saying that the heart attack was the result of his "vaccination". A few short words on this.

Firstly, as of this writing no one has revealed Hamlin's vaccine status. We can assume he has taken at least one shot given the NFL's mandate (along with other professional leagues),. But assumption is not proof. I'd like to see proof one way or the other.

Secondly, given what is known about the rates of myocarditis in young men from the mRNA products, it is reasonable to ask if Hamlin was "vaccinated". It is NOT reasonable to assume (even if that assumption proves true later). Yes, Athletes have dropped dead in various sports before Covid.  What is different now is that we have a known external agent that is a likely cause. I personally have heard of a number of young(ish) people who have popped up with strokes in the past few weeks. I find that strange. I ask The Question but no one has an answer.

I feel there are a few reasons for this failure to tell. Firstly, if it turns out there is no congenital reason or provable external cause other than "vaccine" then the person who is now "vaccine injured" will likely feel lots of shame. People do their best to avoid shame.

The next issue is that there will be anger. Not only the immediate victim but to all the other people who took the shot whether voluntarily or not. They will now be in fear for their lives, wondering if and when their turn for a "stopped clock" is. This will result in lawsuits. I guarantee you that if players can prove a link to the mRNA products they were "forced" to take, they can afford expensive lawyers and they will class action the F*** out of the NFL. And don't think other major leagues are watching this.

Not like they weren't warned.

Here's another thing: Quiet as it's kept a lot of people have fake "vaccine" cards. I don't know the percentage but a lot of doctors got paid to squirt the shot into the air and mark the card. 

Believe that.

This makes Hamlin's status all the more important. If he isn't "vaxxed" did he get COVID and suffer heart damage? That's also a possibility. Matter of fact since the mRNA products do not keep anyone from getting COVID he could be one of those people who got COVID and heart damage.

But this fake vax card thing is real and who knows how many players are playing under fake cards.  If they admit it, they potentially risk their careers. You best believe there's a whole different take on this subject by those athletes that paid the doctor and those who did not.

I watched the Tour De France over the summer and was glad to see none of the cyclists fall out. At least that I know of. However; there were some high profile cyclists who came up with heart issues prior to the race. I have questions as to the status of those cyclists. Professional cycling puts an extreme amount of stress on the heart, particularly in the end stage (and the mountains).However; that stress is ongoing rather than short sharp efforts like soccer and football. That could be a difference.

In the end though, given the propaganda surrounding COVID and the mRNA products, the public should be informed either way. After all, if we the public were being compelled to show our status to do things like eat in a restaurant, we can be told if a young athletic and presumably healthy young man has a heart attack while playing a contact sport.

Yet Another Vit D Study

How long did The Ghost post on vitamin D during the pandemic? Sample:

https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2020/05/vitamin-d-info.html

https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2020/10/more-info-on-vit-d.html

https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2020/09/vitamin-d-deficiency-raises-covid-19.html

https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2020/11/50-v-2.html

https://garveys-ghost.blogspot.com/2020/12/vitamin-d-deficiency-and-covid-deaths.html

 

That's just 2020.

If you include videos I've done. I've posted on vitamin D for a long while now. YouTube deleted one of them claiming medical misinformation. Now:


And what did they find?

"Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation. Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions with supplementation than White veterans. As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic."

You don't say. It's all of two years late.

Vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with a 33% lower risk of COVID-19 infection ending in mortality within 30 days.

Really?

We found a greater associated reduction in COVID-19 infection rates for Black patients than white supplemented patients relative to controls (Black HR = 0.71, [95% CI 0.65, 0.77]; white HR = 0.82, [95% CI 0.79, 0.86]); see Table 3. The race by treatment interaction was significant (HR = 0.86, [95% CI 0.78, 0.94]).
I see.

So to recap:

Since 2020 I've been writing on the benefits of vit D in general and per COVID in particular. I had videos deleted for "medical misinformation" for discussing that which is above in a "reputable journal."

Say, how many people died due to the suppression of this information?

"When we extrapolate our results for vitamin D3 supplementation to the entire US population in 2020, there would have been approximately 4 million fewer COVID-19 cases and 116,000 deaths avoided. We calculated these values by applying our estimated 20% average reduction in infection and 33% reduction in mortality after infection for vitamin D3 to a total of 19,860,000 cases and 351,999 deaths through 202029. I"

 So had people like myself been listened to we would have had an estimated 4 million less cases and 116k less deaths?  If that's the case, YouTube and other outlets that suppressed information such as that which I provided *in 2020* may, maaaay, have gotten 116k people killed.

"These back-of-the-envelope calculations may be conservative given possible reductions in COVID-19 transmission due to the general population risk reduction from broader supplementation."

That's a conservative estimate.

Now consider that Ivermectin is effective. Consider that Zinx IS effective, consider that getting people into shape (particularly aerobically) is effective. All the advice that could have literally saved at least, by their caluclations hundreds of thousands of lives. 

Hundreds of thousands dead due to collusion between the govt and big tech and  MSM to suppress information. 

I have nothing else to say.

No Liability: Example FDA

Those that follow me know that I have discussed at length the directive by NJ governor Murphy in regards to the vaccine mandate. I pointed out that the language used by the governor was very specific and was a means for him to deflect liability away from him should SHTF. in particular, he made reference to his order being within the bounds of the ADA. He also never stated that the state (or its agencies) could actually grab health records of employees. That would be a HIPPA violation. He also stated that his
"vaccine or test" policy was the "floor" and municipalities could go "above and beyond". And boy did they. Mind you I'm not saying the policy itself was lawful as I believe that per SCOTUS rulings the testing qualifies as medical battery upon those who neither with to be injected with an experimental product NOR wish to be tested for a disease they may or may not have and in the process disclose personal medical information. But that's for another day. Today is an example of how the feds have shielded themselves via language and private (and public) entities will find out that though the "vaccine" makers are not liable and the feds may not be liable, THEY will be.




"“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas."

And you know what? They are absolutely correct. Mind you they made some ridiculous statements but entities were free to put the FDA on ignore. But they did not.

Plaintiffs in the case include Dr. Paul Marik, who began utilizing ivermectin in his COVID-19 treatment protocol in 2020 while he was chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School and director of the intensive care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

After the FDA’s statements, Marik was told to remove the protocol from the school’s servers while Sentara issued a memorandum to hospitals telling them to stop using ivermectin against COVID-19, with a citation to the FDA.[My underline]

Now this  appeal to authority is morally at the root of the problem. A lot of nasty stuff has been done with the "per CDC" and the like. But as I pointed out to many people these were never laws duly passed by any legislature and if you looked at the signage they clearly stated "mandate" or something of the sort which is not "law". When police came to arrest people who weren't wearing masks, etc. they arrested the person for things like "trespassing" and "public disturbance" not some CDC or FDA proclamation. 

So the offending party here is the school. Let the school point at the FDA.

"The government has moved to dismiss the complaint, asserting plaintiffs lack standing because the injuries cannot be traced back to the FDA."

 And I think they are correct. Strictly speaking. Drugs are regularly used for things not approved of by the FDA. These institutions usually don't even bat an eye. But suddenly they wanted to signal compliance and went about firing people who were looking out for their patients.  Let 'em hang. Well, let THEM sue the FDA and perhaps claim that they were mislead.

"Belfer noted that the FDA’s pages say people can use ivermectin if their health care provider prescribes it, argued the statements “did not bind the public or FDA, did not interpret any substantive rules, and did not set agency policy,” and said the FDA’s position could change in the future if new data become available."

Exactly, And we saw this in another case, I believe in England where the NHS said that it was the doctor's decision to not treat with x.  And notice the "if new data become available" part. Again, this is the CYA that all these agencies are going to use as the lawsuits pile up. However; private actors who took it upon themselves to directly harm people via extortion (do this or lose your job) Are going to be left holding the bag.

And we warned them about it.

Adventures in Clown World: Puberty Blockers

 Saw this in the NY Times and could not resist. It shows the depths of the morass the US is now in. I want to remind the reader that not too long ago "Progressives" were against things like FGM and "Conversion therapy". Let us begin:



"Is there a cost?" You'd think such questions would be asked prior to the "pausing". But of course we saw during COVID that such things as extensive research is no longer how "The Science" is done.

"The medical guidance was direct.

Eleven-year-old Emma Basques had identified as a girl since toddlerhood. Now, as she worried about male puberty starting, a Phoenix pediatrician advised: Take a drug to stop it."

In a sane country this would be a clear case of medical malpractice. This 11 year old did not identify as a girl "since toddlerhood". The kid was imitating the adults around him and following that which he found interesting and amusing. It's possible that he was the extremely curious type.  

"At 13, Jacy Chavira felt increasingly uncomfortable with her maturing body and was beginning to believe she was a boy. Use the drug, her endocrinologist in Southern California recommended, and puberty would be suspended."

Rather than deal with the discomfort of the pubescent body, she succumbed to peer pressure and the adults including the criminal endocrinologist (that's what I said), incentivized that nonsense.  You know what? I really hated the spontaneous erections I would get in school. Particularly when they happened while I was in front of class.

"“‘Puberty blockers really help kids like this,’” the child’s mother recalled the therapist saying. “It was presented as a tourniquet that would stop the hemorrhaging.”"

Puberty, a natural process that leads to biological adulthood is not a "hemorrhage".  That there are licensed medical "professionals" with this attitude who are still allowed to practice "medicine" while doctors who correctly warned about these mRNA "vaccines" are harassed and lose their livelihoods tells you all you need to know about this industry.

"During puberty, bone mass typically surges, determining a lifetime of bone health. When adolescents are using blockers, bone density growth flatlines, on average, according to an analysis commissioned by The Times of observational studies examining the effects."

Where the "professionals" just now figure out that puberty involves more than breast formation and the like.

"Many doctors treating trans patients believe they will recover that loss when they go off blockers. But two studies from the analysis that tracked trans patients’ bone strength while using blockers and through the first years of sex hormone treatment found that many do not fully rebound and lag behind their peers."

I will go out on a limb and say that these doctors believed no such thing. They had no clue and saw that they could make a few bucks and gain social credit among their peers for supporting the current thing. A real doctor would have refused to proscribe any of these things without knowing the long term data. 

It has been known that for women who have gone through menopause, that the loss of bone density is a direct result of the loss of estrogen. Strange how these professionals suddenly have no clue about this known phenomenon.

"And the New York adolescent had such a significant loss in bone density after more than two years on blockers that the parents halted use of the drugs.

“We went into this because we wanted to help,” the mother said. “Now I worry that we got into a situation with a very powerful drug and don’t understand what the long-term effects will be.”"

Like typical Americans, these people believe in the "magic pill" solutions to their problems.  Not surprised in the least bit. Of course the "medical professionals" took advantage of these desperate parents (and charged them or their insurance companies a nice mint) and rather than say "No" they apparently condemned this person to a life of weak bones. Oh yeah, no liability either.

"It didn’t take long for Cherise and Arick Basques to realize that their toddler was different. The child rejected pants, toy trucks and sports in favor of dresses, Barbie dolls and ballet. When Ms. Basques ran into a friend at a restaurant in their Phoenix suburb and introduced her then-4-year-old as her son, the child shouted: “No! I’m your daughter!”"

First thing. I don't care what the kid wants to wear in the house. Don't care what doll teddy bear, whatever they want to play with. Heck if they like ballet, don't care. Not poisoning them for it.

Secondly, I will lay the smack of a lifetime on any child of mine who thinks they can yell at me in private or public. But this accommodating rude  behaviour by children is a common theme I see with parents with kids who are "confused". 

"The next year, they allowed the child, then 5, to begin using the name Emma, grow longer hair and take other steps to socially transition. I"

Fuck that entirely. Not in my house.

" In 2019, when Emma turned 11, a physician at a local gender clinic advised starting blockers."

Criminal prosecutions for all involved.

"The first two years were promising, with the patient, by then a teen, taking Prozac in addition to the blockers. But at the start of the third year, a bone scan was alarming. During treatment, the teen’s bone density plummeted — as much as 15 percent in some bones — from average levels to the range of osteoporosis, a condition of weakened bones more common in older adults."

Whoops.

"The doctor recommended starting testosterone, explaining that it would help the teen regain bone strength. But the parents had lost faith in the medical counsel."

That testosterone wasn't gonna free was it?

"But it’s increasingly clear that the drugs are associated with deficits in bone development. During the teen years, bone density typically surges by about 8 to 12 percent a year. The analysis commissioned by The Times examined seven studies from the Netherlands, Canada and England involving about 500 transgender teens from 1998 through 2021. Researchers observed that while on blockers, the teens did not gain any bone density, on average — and lost significant ground compared to their peers, according to the analysis by Farid Foroutan, an expert on health research methods at McMaster University in Canada."

 "Increasingly clear" that what we knew before pushing this on children, is actually happening to the children. 

Oh and whoops.

" In most cases, their bone strength fully recovers after they stop the drugs at about age 11 and resume full puberty, which can last up to five years."

I'm still processing "stop the drugs at about age 11". Just thinking that in the US it is now acceptable to do this to those under age 11 possibly down to 8-9 for those early starters like I was.

"The participants, followed in one study through age 18, and in the other through age 22, saw their bones strengthen, on average, once on hormones. Still, most patients continued to lag behind their peers; trans men neared average levels, but trans women fell far below."

It's almost like there is some kind of biological determinism....

"If any harm resulted from the use of blockers, it likely would not be evident until decades later, with fractures. However, for children who already have weak bones as they start treatment, the dangers could be more immediate. While there is no systematic record-keeping of such cases, some anecdotal evidence is available."

Future civil cases will be lit.

"After more than a year on blockers, a 15-year-old in Texas, who had not had a baseline scan, showed spinal bone density so low that it was below the first percentile for the teen’s age and weight, indicating osteoporosis, according to medical records from earlier this year."

Whoops.

"Last month, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups wrote to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, urging the Justice Department to investigate growing threats of violence against physicians and hospitals that provide transgender medical treatment to adolescents. As more Republicans frame the treatment as child abuse, some doctors have become wary of discussing their work for fear of becoming targets."

 Absolutely is child abuse and they should be afraid. They should have their licenses revoked, prosecuted criminally and bankrupted.

Rights Given To Whom?

Two weeks ago , i believe, Justice Sotomayor was confusing De-jure and De-facto during oral arguments in regards to Affirmative Action. Her colleague had to correct her. Just last week Sotomayor made another mistake that I found far more troubling. Her mistake, I feel, represents the fundamental cancer that is eating away at America and came into full view during the 2020 COVID response. First though we look at the constitution:


The US constitution opens as follows:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Note how it's we the people and not we the government agents. Notice that "we the people" establish, not "we the agents"

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. 
Note the language. "We the people"..."herein grant...". We the people grant the congress certain powers. Congress doesn't grant power to the people.

Then we have the amendments. In particular:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

"Rights... retained by the people". Not granted to the people. Not given to the people. Not bestowed upon the people. RETAINED by the people.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
And because I suppose the founders figured future generations would be hard headed, they said it again with different language.

"Reserved...to the people."

In short. The people created the constitution that created the government. The people granted power to the government and whatever powers were not granted to the government is RETAINED and RESERVED by the people.

Now the reason I went through this is because this fundamental concept in American law should be well known by all SCOTUS judges. Hence this statement by Sotomayor, is in my opinion is grounds for removal.

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor pointed out the repercussions of doing so. “Neither the federal government nor the states can possibly investigate and remedy every violation of these rights that are given to people,”"

'Rights that are given to people"?

No.  rights are not given to people. People may be given privileges but they are not given rights. 

Even if one agrees with the overall case, you have to be extremely wary of language creep. Governments and their agents who believe that your rights are things they granted, will inevitably believe they can revoke said rights at will.  So whenever you hear someone say the constitution gives them the right to speech or whatever, stop them and correct them.

What Black NBA Players Would Do If They Were Really "Woke"

 I hope Kyrie (and Kanye) have invested their pay wisely with longevity in mind so that they do not have to depend upon outside parties in order to live out the rest of their lives. That said, I want to point out what [at least the] black players in the NBA should do if they were really woke and appalled at this clear "do what I say slave" message coming from the NBA and the ADL:

First they would give the NBA 24 hours to rescind the punishment of Kyrie. If they fail to do so the consequences would be as follows:

Second: Quit on the spot. You see how the NBA apparently has these clauses in their contracts which allows them to breech said contract based on whatever behavior they decide is verboten? Do the players have that? Well regardless. All contracts ended as of the 24 hour deadline. Any pay advances that would be covered after that 24 hour period would be returned to the respective teams.

Third: Bring back the Negro League. For basketball.  The Negro League was ended by integration as ball club owners realized they didn't have access to some of the best players as well as revenue from those fans. These players from respective teams would make their own teams (formal or informal) and play each other.

The internet has created the ability to stream games to TVs a-la, Chromecast and Airplay. The New Negro Leagues would stream their games live (and store it on friendly sites like Rumble, BitChute, Gab TV, etc.). These streams would be monetized just like Disney Plus and others.  These players could play in parks for all we care.

These players have millions of fans who would gladly watch them.  No it wouldn't be as glamorous as what they are used to but it's the principle.  The NBA would have an immediate revenue problem and possibly a long term one as new talent may be hard to come by with the competition from a free speech supporting Negro League.

Understand that nothing I'm proposing here is remotely difficult to do. All it takes is the will to do. The technology exists. The players exist and the customers exist. Heck the merchandising potential exists. All right now.

Definition Creep. Another Example

 As we watch Certain People come for Kanye and Kyrie, to the silence of all those wealthy black activists who only recently had their fists in the air talking about "black lives matter" and how much black people are oppressed. Those who got streets painted with Black Lives Matter and had people kneeling in front of them are deadly silent when Certain People come calling and giving orders. As these events happen even people who were not disposed to believing "conspiracy theories" about those Certain People will not and cannot ignore the pattern that is clear as clean water.

In our latest example of the power held by Certain People we also have the phenomenon of definition creep. This time with "terrorism". Up until recently terrorism was something that involved either killing (or trying to kill) people and or the destruction of property for political ends. You then got the definition creep by adding "terroristic threats" in which one speaks of doing such things (whether one intended to carry out said threat or not). The latter used to be protected speech, at least in the US. Now we have "level three terrorist"


So this fellow has been banned from the entire EU block. Why?

"Icke had been set to feature at an event called Together for the Netherlands, but far-left activist groups complained to the government and demanded he be barred from entering the country.

The municipality of Amsterdam also asked the Dutch IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service) “to investigate whether Icke can be refused entry to the country,” an appeal that was apparently successful.

The municipality complained that Icke had made “anti-Semitic statements in the past that are unacceptable and deeply hurtful,” although it didn’t cite any specific examples."

So. Because he allegedly made statements about or in reference to Certain People, and those People were "deeply hurt." this guy is a "terrorist."

If I were a member of this Certain People, I would be very concerned about such actions being taken "on my behalf". The reason is that generally speaking my group is outnumbered everywhere except for Certain People country. Vastly outnumbered. And one day the people whom are being dispossessed "for my wellbeing" may just decide to exact...ummm...retribution on a mass scale and in a manner that the police cannot help.

Not that I'm advocating for such activities. I'm just pointing out that there are historical precedents for such things that could perhaps be learned from.

But back to the point of the post. It is rather interesting to see how the terrorist label has moved from actual criminal and destructive behavior to just another means to smear dissidents.

Amnesty? No. Not One Bit

 The nerve:



Forgive each other?

That statement implies that all parties involved did something wrong. That could not be further from the truth.

"These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know."

 The FUCK we didn't know. YOU didn't know. I knew. I was looked at sideways and accosted by employees at stores I had been a customer of for decades for not wearing a mask because I knew physics. I knew fluid dynamics and that viruses were way smaller than the pores of the masks. I knew that unless properly fitted, even the "good" n95 ones weren't worth a damn. I knew that people constantly touching them was a recipe for disaster.

Know what else I knew? That the constant "sanitizing" would (and still could) lead to super bugs and destruction of the natural bio-fauna that all of us have on our bodies. 

I knew better and I did nothing wrong. I owe not a damn body an apology.

"But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information."

No, By the summer of 2020 I had figured out that this was an illness that got people who had underlying conditions (and had covered it up with various medications). I figured out that if you were healthy, not vit D deficient and took a few supplements, you were unlikely to have much more than a cough and a runny nose. Perhaps a loss of taste and smell when your turn came. I knew that the lockdown was an economic time bomb. As a matter of fact I pointed that out in April. I knew the whole giving people money to stay home was a VERY bad idea. Those chickens have come home to roost and the rooster is making a racket.

There was plenty of information out there for people who were paying attention, didn't rabidly hate Trump and were actually interested in facts and data.

"Obviously some people intended to mislead and made wildly irresponsible claims. Remember when the public-health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach? That was bad. Misinformation was, and remains, a huge problem. But most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society."

The only wildly irresponsible claims made were by Fauci, Birx and just about every liberal talking head. Birx has finally admitted that she knew at the time of release that the mRNA vaccines would not stop transmission and yet this claim, which was the basis for firing people was kept in play until just recently when the evidence could no longer be ignored.  Secondly Trump never told anyone to inject themselves with bleach. He said it would be great if there was a disinfectant for the body. Do you know what chemotherapy is? You know what every medication you take is? A disinfectant you twit.

And the claim about "bringing light into the body"? Yeah, I posted on that and how a company was actually working on using UV radiation therapy INSIDE the body. 

But the partisan murderers, that's what they are, who hated Trump to the nth degree took "disinfectant" to mean "bleach" so that they could get at him

And no, these people were not and are not working for the "good of society". They are killers and totalitarians and I have no love for them. They should be shot or hanged.  Shot AND hanged.

"In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons. In other instances, they had a prescient understanding of the available information."

What is this nonsense? "Right for the wrong reason"? Either you're right or your wrong. Period. Ain't no "reason" about it.

"The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat."

We're not gloating. We are mad as hell and want the vicious people who imposed themselves upon us to be held to personal account.

"But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward."

This wasn't a mistake. These people were and are purposely malicious. As far as I'm concerned they are no better than the thug who pushes a person in front of a moving train: Not worth the dirt under their shoes. The way you prevent this history from repeating is to make examples out of each and every one of them.

Gallows.

Firing squads.

Total bankruptcy. 

The thug who pushes the innocent person in front of the train doesn't get to say "sorry my bad" and get to move on. They get put on trial and put in jail. These criminals in various government agencies and private companies deserve no less.

No Amnesty.

The Unions Revealed

 

Same situation for me with the AFT. Paid in for 23 years and that union sat with the employer and conspired to fuck over members who they didn't agree with rather than represent the workers. Far as I'm concerned the AFT is lower than dirt.

"They Destroyed My Life"
