Ohh, there’s more; lots more to be sure…
I just don’t have a clear path forward…

Hi V.Arnold. I have a couple more Dwarf Namwah bananas planted (last weekend) in Yoakum, along with 2 Dwarf Orinoco (similar cooking banana) an Apple Banana and a Blue Java. They are not dead a week later in what was a black-bean patch after the February deep-freeze, and is now a nascent winter (“Fairy”) squash patch.

“journalists are bound to the government by ideology rather than law.”

As I’ve said, Leftists, how did you get here? The FBI/CIA Congress, police, are your ideology, not the worker, the poor? And they are now definitively the party of the rich, both corporate and private. Go back, go back!

Well at least they are dead last in credibility. However, 20% is much too high.

I wonder how that Cotton thing got started. Nearest I can tell, one of the key factors was NYT can’t tell the difference between News and Editorial Op-Ed anymore. And no surprise when 100% of the articles are opinion/editorial. Still strange it would go the other way, but opinions are violence, I guess, while violence is NOT violence: it’s speech. #OppositeLand

Being totally on the side of the police, AOC defunds the public police in NYC, which doubles crime for the poor. This mildly inconveniences the rich, but NYC rich easily pay for security and they therefore have their “police”, and all the guns, which the poor don’t. …That’s why we invented the police to begin with: for equality under the law, the thing she/they are reversing.

Carrying on with helping only the rich, she then votes for $1.2B for police in the 10 wealthiest zip codes in America: Washington, D.C. So really, she’s violently pro-police, but anti-poor. And this is true not of her as one example, but the party in general. They have the right to self-defense, as they buy $30,000 in armed bodyguards: mayors, social justice actors…but Lou Jackson in Baltimore and Chicago and Trenton has no right to self-defense even in his bed. Literally. In New Jersey, if someone aggresses you, you are required to retreat infinitely. So if you have a murderer, a burglar, or a street riot that burns your home, you must get up out of bed, and leave your T.V., your computer, your work tools to the criminals, and retreat to…where exactly? They just took over your house and possibly burned it. You’re supposed to find safety under the stop sign at the end of the street, 2am, 20f, in the middle of a violent mob?

You haven’t the right to self-defense allowed to a cat or dog. Die, maggot, and we’ll hose up your body on the Miracle Mile, take your stuff to the state and say tsk, tsk. Guess he should have been rich! This is where the party has got to, and it’s incredible to me how long it can go on.

But what can you say of a group that supports China and openly coos over the censorship of North Korea? (Both examples NYT but is extravagantly widespread) Well, like I said, if it’s opposite, their religion does it. If it’s NOT our job, we do it, while if it IS our job, we don’t do it.

Like the Fed. THeir job is stable prices. They don’t do it, they do the opposite. Their added mandate is employment. They have worse employment than all 1,000 years before they were born. Meanwhile, they have NO mandate, are prohibited from, setting public policy for Social Justice, it’s illegal for them to be involved in Global Warming, and they have no basis for either buying, or levitating the stock market, including stock markets and stocks overseas, like Toyota and UBS. So they do all three. Of course! And this causes???

“ US Food Banks Warn Soaring Prices Will Affect Distributions (ZH)”

Powell says inflation is a good thing.

We also hear that it’s “Hyperinflation” and “Transitory Hyperinflation” (BoA). As we’re about to be in it, as we’re in 20% inflation already, use the words correctly or you can’t think straight. Although there is no clear definition, “Hyper” inflation is very high. Certainly well over 50%p.a. and probably in the multi-hundred percents. What they’re talking about is just “inflation.” And while high inflation can go on quite a while — 50% inflation in young, productive Brazil went on many years — “hyper” inflation is indeed transitory. Because it’s the signal that confidence in government has collapsed. And government collapsing only takes a year or two. That was true of high inflation in Brazil as well, it’s a consequence of confidence, but hyperinflation is everyone fleeing government and going “private.” Usually because the government itself has indicated their total absence of the rule of law, and usually rapacious attempt to save their corruption with open theft and widespread confiscation.

Wiemar, the usual example, lost confidence when it seemed Russian-style communists might take over, and then started confiscating everything. They had been printing astoundingly since WWI all along without effect. How did they, and France, restabilize? They created a “backed” currency – although backed by lies – in the RentenMark, that is, a currency backed by real estate, rents. France did the same back by (stolen) lands, mostly Church. …Because any group that does this, that breaks property rights, can’t be trusted with a hatpin, both later fell as usual. But it was CONFIDENCE that stopped it.

But there’s your inflation. So when I say “Is there anything that can discredit them?” that is what will happen if “credit” is lost. But Powell says it’s a GOOD thing when prices rise for the poor, so not to worry! He also says the only BAD inflation is when wages rise, for the poor, even a tiny bit. For 40 years in a row.

“bureaucratic process” to marry…

The State is our God. Why the feck would you ask, consult, care, if the STATE will allow you to marry or not. Just do it. It’s YOUR thing, not theirs. Same thing I said about gay marriage. And? I wouldn’t ask them to shine my shoes because they’d steal them, much less oversee my marriage. “...But there’s inheritance, legal rights you get…” So it’s all about the money? You’re talking marriage, and that’s all you care about? Fine, hire a lawyer and contract them instead of the state, I guarantee it’ll ultimately be cheaper AND better.

If they want to get married, join hands, wrap a ribbon, you’re done. Heck, bring him a corn pudding which is how the natives did it. They won’t even notice. Boom, all set. The State…is there anything that can get people to stop begging murderers and criminals for permission to live and breathe? Stop looking to them. You’re the ones giving them power which is the SAME power that keeps Assange in prison. Get married. They literally can’t stop you. They don’t even have to know and it’s better if they don’t. Later they’ll take 90% of your money in divorce courts, dividing it between the judge and lawyers and go golfing. JHC.

“Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, was recruited by US authorities”

Speaking of. That is, “perjury-for-hire.” Or even blackmail him. Just like all FBI cases. What was it, the year before Trump, the NYT had an article that 90% of all terrorist cases were completely manufactured, with cash, by the FBI, not one of them would have happened? But then, Lo! TDS, Jan 20th, the FBI became lily-white and were best friend and sole source for the NY Times, and remains so to this day. When you’re violently anti-free speech, as they are, it only makes sense your core ally is the FBI, which is against all 10 Bill of Rights plus most of the Federal Register.

I’d be amazed if you could FIND an FBI case that was real, organic, unpaid, unpolitical crime. They certainly were defending Whitey Bulgur for years, keeping him out of prison and killin’ folks. …That was Mueller, wasn’t it? The Boy Scout?

Don’t look to the state. Remove their power by ignoring them and making other plans.

Your blog is fantastic

The state treated that bad man Jesus real nice too. Never look to the state unless you are working an angle and then proceed with caution.

@ absolute: aren’t you somewhere in NYS? I’m in CNY. Initially I would be one of the only (and at times only) person in a store without a mask. But at this point the majority of people are maskless (75% maybe?) and the plexiglass is finally starting to come down!!! (didn’t realize how much I hated that plexiglass until it was taken down).

This war has many names – VARIANT – Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population.

We have another problem …..
Incomes are not keeping up/rising with all the rising costs
Property taxes set to rise
school tax rates 2021 rising

Thanks for reading the blog Upstate NYer and Dimitri.
I hope this is the case, though the GWOT coming to the US, since the seat of empire has to consume itself, now, is bleak.
I don’t expect outside saviors.

“Fortunately there are enough un-vaccinated people that the Marek’s Disease sort of disaster will not happen so long as enough people refuse..” (Denninger)

I had to look up Marek’s Disease since Denninger didn’t provide further information. The related problem with the vaccines for Covid-19 is that they are “leaky.” ”

“It’s important to note childhood vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella and smallpox aren’t leaky”

The deadliest strains of viruses often take care of themselves — they flare up and then die out. This is because they are so good at destroying cells and causing illness that they ultimately kill their host before they have time to spread.

But a chicken virus that represents one of the deadliest germs in history breaks from this conventional wisdom, thanks to an inadvertent effect from a vaccine. Chickens vaccinated against Marek’s disease rarely get sick. But the vaccine does not prevent them from spreading Marek’s to unvaccinated birds…

In fact, rather than stop fowl from spreading the virus, the vaccine allows the disease to spread faster and longer than it normally would, a new study finds. The scientists now believe that this vaccine has helped this chicken virus become uniquely virulent.

The reason this is a problem for Marek’s disease is because the vaccine is “leaky.” A leaky vaccine is one that keeps a microbe from doing serious harm to its host, but doesn’t stop the disease from replicating and spreading to another individual. On the other hand, a “perfect” vaccine is one that sets up lifelong immunity that never wanes and blocks both infection and transmission.

It’s important to note childhood vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella and smallpox aren’t leaky; they are considered “perfect” vaccines. As such, they are in no way in danger of falling prey to this phenomenon.

But the results do raise the questions for some human vaccines that are leaky…

The 1970s introduction of the Marek’s disease immunizations for baby chicks kept the poultry industry from collapse, but people soon learned that vaccinated birds were catching “the bug” without subsequently dying. Then, over the last half century, symptoms for Marek’s worsened. Paralysis was more permanent; brains more quickly turned to mush.

This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous

Via the Fat Emperor, a peer reviewed study in Vaccine journal, with the cost/benefit conclusion of our wonderful vaccines:
“Currently, our estimates show that we have to accept four fatal and serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations in order to save the lives of 2–11 individuals per 100,000 vaccinations, placing risks and benefits on the same order of magnitude.”

I get food from from a food bank once a month…in Arizona.
Fortunately, most of the food received was not purchased by the food bank. Most of the food handed out is “reclaimed food” donated by grocery stores and wholesale or restaurant sources. (The non-reclaimed food is mostly all in the food box. Food box contains non-perishables, for example: spaghetti, tomato sauce, dried fruit, canned fruit, canned vegetables, dry beans, rice, half gallon of fruit juice, canned meat.)
Reclaimed food is wonderful. Sometimes, it is close to the expiration, and must be eaten or preserved immediately. Or given away. Some may already be too far gone for human enjoyment — but not so far gone that a hen doesn’t enjoy it. Often, the food isn’t close to expiration, and I wonder if it is from accidental restaurant over-orders, etc. If food-insecure families are willing to wait a few days for a Thanksgiving feast, stopping by the food bank shortly after Thanksgiving will yield bags of stuffing mix, premade traditional favorites (stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey breast) that just need to be heated, bags of potatoes, bunches of celery, tons of onions, etc.

I don’t know if other states have food bank systems that work this well, “rescuing” food that would otherwise head to a landfill. And I don’t know how much the food that is a part of the federal and other programs that they participate in is funded by government sources, (government funds may be a fixed amount,) and how much rising prices affect them. (I also know that the food bank “meat box” prices for a few pounds of meat can be beat by the price of nearly any grocery store’s current week’s specials in the meat department.) Certainly the food banks would be affected by rising energy prices as they try to keep donated food preserved long enough to get it into people’s hands.

I helped with a musical performance at retirement community yesterday. Had a nice conversation with a friend. I am cautious telling people too much about Covid and vaccination…I have learned so much through TAE that my knowledge can overwhelm short conversations…not to mention the potential for cognitive dissonance in the other conversant. So I just touch on the edges. And told my friend — if you get Covid despite your vaccination, or this happens to those close to you — let me know, I know what can help. Maybe that is all I’ll emphasize in short conversations. I also know of one local doctor willing to prescribe HCQ back in October 2020….

Ironic, all the retirement community folks with their proud vaccination ribbons, with their non-sterilizing, leaky Covid immunity…insisting on masking me, who has sterilizing immunity. I passed a damn PCR test 11 days post symptom onset. I passed Covid onto no one. I was a viral dead end. My immune system rocks! (Of course, my father, in his early seventies, weathered Covid with no symptoms and has shown antibodies to Covid twice now…since he quarantined with my symptomatic mother, he also did not pass Covid on…he must be a rock god.)

@Kimo: That second link to the Cummins paper is internet-MIA now.

@oxy: You have two thoughtful posts today that, I think, are two sides of the same coin. First you contemplate whether TAE is an echo chamber. I’ve been thinking about this lately but wasn’t astute enough to identify the calibrations here as “biologic” and “co-evolved” (well done). I look at TAE like a favorite neighborhood pub where you stop in for a beer with people who are *relatively* like minded. At any given time someone at the pub may veer off in a new direction or toss out a new theory. These events initiate a [fairly] respectful debate, much as they would at your pub. No one is summarily shut down or censored for their viewpoint.

You also posted about how awkward it is to discuss current changes to the way the world works with most people because they aren’t open to even seeing alternatives. You find the need to “read the room” and censor what you are saying “socially disabling” (another excellent descriptor).

This fissure started well in advance of the pandemic. Example: over the past five years, TDS meant you could not have a reasonable conversation about politics with anyone unless they were “on the same team.” I don’t watch news (local or otherwise) and don’t do social media so wasn’t impacted by the TDS hoopla, but several years ago I asked a close friend, when he was complaining about a Trump tweet, just when it was a tweet became headline news? Response: “I don’t know, it just is.” There is absolutely no way to have an open discussion with a mind that is that closed.

TDS has now been replaced by CDS (covid derangement syndrome), which means you literally cannot have a reasonable conversation with anyone about the pandemic unless they are “on the same team”. It does not matter how many facts you offer, nor the credentials of the people who provided those facts.

Bottom line, either avoid the landmine or find a new “real life” local pub to hang out in. 😉

And now for today’s latest news: stay tuned for revisions to the narrative …

Losing The Plot On COVID
By Dan Rabil

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/06/losing_the_plot_on_covid.html

…”In a future sane world, people will view the orchestrated panic of the COVID era with the same bemused condescension we might view the supposed War of the Worlds radio invasion scare of 1938, or the bygone use of leeches for seemingly every ailment…”

War of the Worlds freakout

Spoiler Alert: The Aliens were finally killed by Coronavirus!

hahahahahaha!

@Boris: can’t read the cfchronicle article without a subscription? Not knowing what it says, some points to ponder:

What prompts the “testing” of individuals at this point? Symptoms? Track/trace exposure? Exposure to whom? (Apparently non-vaccinated individuals since “virtually” no vaccinated individual is testing positive for covid.)

CDC changed guidelines for PCR testing in vaccinated to 28 cycles or less. How many cycles are being used in PCR testing for non-vaccinated?

Considering the unreliability of PRC testing at higher than 28 cycles, how is contra costa defining a “case” in non-vaccinated? Test results only? Symptoms?

How many of these “cases” in non-vaccinated individuals resulted in hospitalization or death?

It has gotten so easy to poke holes in health official narratives it’s almost not worth the effort anymore.

@ John Day
I attached the paper to this upload, a helping hand might be needed to expose it to readers.
@Doc Robinson
Thanks for replying to John.

USA Socialism: The debate is over.
I’d like to point out, that the classic debate over what socialism would look like in the USA is over. In the past, for the progressive the answer was Sweden, for the conservatives the answer was communist countries.
Well, Covid-19 response has answered the question.
Consider that Sweden did not choose lock downs, and China did.
Liberal states choose very restrictive lock downs, resembling communist China much more than socialist Sweden. Progressives in favor of lock downs really need to take an inward look, and admit the leaders they choose to follow are in favor controlling the actions of others at the first opportunity. Swedish styled socialism is not the apparent goal. A generation of progressive leaders, and those farther left, need to be flushed from the system.
