The Morning Report - 9/27/21

maxmiracwhip.jpg

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and I've been thinking about a painting done by World War 2 artist/illustrator Tom Lea. Though best known for his work "The Two Thousand-Yard Stare," it's an equally haunting work he created during the battle for Pelelieu, which coincidentally was in its opening phase 77 years ago, that I think is a metaphor for what we're experiencing. The caption in Life Magazine that accompanied the "The Last Step" read in part:

"Mangled shreds of what was once an arm hung straight down as he bent over in his stumbling, shock-crazy walk. Half his face was bashed pulp. The other half bore a horrifying expression of abject patience. . . His eyes searched for a fight. Then something exploded. He scrambled up from the ground as if embarrassed at falling. He looked at his left arm. Stumbled back to the beach. He never saw a Jap. Never fired a shot."

Look at everything that has figuratively, and in some instances literally, exploded in our faces over these last few years. Stolen elections, states of emergency as pretext to curtail freedoms, open borders, decriminalization of crime, persecution for political views other than leftist by government and non-governmental actors, the dismantling of the pax Americana to pave the way for a Sino/Islamic new dark age and on and on. Yet in the midst of all this, we (the royal "we") seem to be going through the motions of "resisting" and "fighting back." I still get e-mails from the usual panoply of politicians and other groups alarmed and horrified by what the Democrats and Leftists are doing before hitting me up for money.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, it's the same kind of accurate analysis of the situation yet capped off by the infuriating exhortations to "vote even more harderer you guys!" or else how federalism and the Constitution are going to save the day. Yeah, just like they did at the 6 state legislatures and the Supreme Court a year ago and in Congress with Mike Pence last January 6th.

Two hundred and thirty-four years after Ben Franklin issued his warning on the occasion of its beginning, we couldn't keep it.

The Republic is dead. To pretend otherwise after the government usurpations of authority during the [Chinese] COVID "emergency" is delusional and self-destructive. The end was visible shortly after September 11th, 2001, with the panicked passage of an unconstitutional Patriot Act during the erstwhile war on terror, which has since been so terribly lost.

True, much of the public remains unaware."I didn't even know it was sick," they might say, preoccupied as they always are with earning a living and cleaning the gutters. But this is usually the case, until it isn't.

A dark age of technologically enhanced authoritarian rule is descending -- an age that I believe will not soon end. This brief time of passage must be taken as a last opportunity to recover our lost liberty. But what can the minority do? Certainly, any attempt at forcing the issue through violent revolution would only deepen the tragedy and coalesce support of the majority around the status quo. What then, can be done. . . ?

. . . We cannot stand still while other world powers are moving around us, and capitulation means disaster. Such a retreat would only condemn our children, those who survive, to the job we have failed to do. Whether from a virus or a nuclear holocaust, starvation or a bullet to the head, this horror is not inevitable and historically not so very different from the burdens accepted by past generations. . .

. . . As fate would have it, the time for a rediscovery of man and the restatement of a philosophy of free men is now. The oligarchy of the power-hungry, the greedy, and the lazy who control our present government will not agree to go away. And let it be understood: a violent revolution in these times would be deadly for all concerned. It is clear from recent elections that most of the citizenry is unaware of their own peril (never mind the corruption of the election process itself). Until it is obvious to the majority, and an alternative is in the offing, nothing can be done to change the status quo. . .

. . . a virtual "Constitutional Convention" can be called, nonetheless, and a viable alternative can be fashioned. A viable system of term limits would be a good start. Professional politicians are a curse. And an enlargement of Congress to better represent the population would help. A limitation on the bureaucracy would be another boon, with an enforced turnover to the private sector. The cost of "knowing who to call" is simply too great.

The great project of our age, then, is to build upon our ruins before they are lost beneath the sands.

Don't get me wrong. This is a well-written essay that, once again, lays out the situation and then suggests a "virtual 'Constitutional Convention.'" It's all well and good except what if the other side - the one holding all the cards as well as the courts, the military, law enforcement, the bureaucracy and the media - won't let us? What makes the author think that the GOP is going to fall in in lock step to do this in the first place? The title of this essay is The Republic is Dead. Well, if the republic is dead, calling for a Constitutional Convention, virtual or otherwise, is like that marine on Peleliu, heading off to the line while not realizing the gravediggers have already put a dog tag in his teeth and zipped up the body bag.

It's like amputees who swear they can still feel and move their limbs, even when staring straight at the stump. The estimable Roger Kimball has a long and worthwhile essay that cuts much closer to the chase.

Thinking about our situation puts me in mind of Walter Bagehot's cheery but clear-eyed masterpiece Physics and Politics (1872), a copiously annotated edition of which I edited and published some years ago. Bagehot traces the evolution of civilization from its rude and violent beginnings to his age, what he calls "the age of discussion," when making a point typically counted for more in political life than the point of one's sword.

The many centrifugal forces contending in our society today prompts me to reprise some thoughts about Bagehot's recommendations for the preservation and extension of social comity.

By "discussion," it should go without saying, Bagehot did not mean idle chitchat but robust, untrammeled inquiry about what Aristotle called "the good life for man." What sort of regime is most likely to nurture the human attributes we value? How should we lead our lives? Where do our fundamental allegiances lie?

Serious talk -- and serious thought -- about such matters is integral to the metabolism of a free society. It provides the space where choice can blossom. Which is why strategies to quash discussion are inimical to freedom.

Given the astonishing recrudescence of multifarious efforts to disrupt the free flow of discussion -- from the astringencies of political correctness to the minatory dicta of woke ideologues -- it is worth stepping back to ponder the career of this subtle but enlivening pillar of liberty. . .

. . . As we look around at the many assaults on free discussion today, the prospects for the continuation of our regime of liberty seems up for grabs in a more fundamental way than at any time since World War II. It was only a few years ago that the United Nations pondered an international law against blasphemy -- against blasphemy! -- to defend Islam against its detractors. A bit later, representatives of the United States met in London with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to discuss whether speaking about religion can violate international law. Yes, that's right. Around the same time, Egypt convicted eight Americans in absentia for blasphemy; if apprehended, they could face the death penalty. Meanwhile in Afghanistan, the Taliban has just announced that it is reintroducing barbaric punishments like stoning and amputation for offices against the faith.

I think Bagehot was right: free discussion is an integral ingredient, a veritable pillar of liberty. But that freedom is under serious threat today by religious fanatics, overweening government bureaucrats, and a complacent populace. David Hume once observed: "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." It seems to be that we have alarm bells going off all around us. The oddity is that so few people seem to hear them. No wonder secession is once again in the air.

Look at some of the links. Is anything going to come from the John Durham revelations? From what is looking to be a tainted vote audit in Arizona and elsewhere that proves the elections were stolen and now evidently the audits as well? From the revelations that our border is being intentionally erased and millions of poor aliens and violent jihadists are being imported? From the persecution of those who refuse to be vaccinated while our tormenters go about maskless and unvaccinated? Etc. etc. etc.?

With our world ablaze, the pyromaniacs being primarily from the American left who also supplied our enemies with copious amounts of matches and kerosene, people from across all walks of life and backgrounds, some even from the left itself know that what's going on is wrong. Very wrong. It is here where change comes from. From the bottom up. That is how we are going to have to force the issue.

NOTE: The opinions expressed in some links may or may not reflect my own. I include them because of their relevance to the discussion of a particular issue.

Eh, what McConnell is doing right now is a good thing. And reasonably subtle by DC standards.

Of course, that all depends on what the Turtle is aiming for. More dried flies in his Turtle Mix I'd wager.

His big problem is that he sees himself as the "bubble" in the Political Level. He has zero philosophy. He just wants to keep every within the range of "normal" cuz, I assume, that's where all congress critters get maximum goodies. He'll never reform anything, he'll never let the Dims, if he can help it, go too wacko.

But, spend money and skim? Hell's yeah.

Why then did you do the equivalent of telling your staff to take two Tylenol to hide that they have the flu and come to work?

59 A dark age of technologically enhanced authoritarian rule is descending -- an age that I believe will not soon end.
++++
Time will tell on that. The obvious allusion to Churchill notwithstanding (But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.[/]i), there is a problem with indefinite technocratic dark age, and that problem is a combination of complexity and fragility. This system we have built and that they have subverted is massively complicated. There has never been a more complex world in our history. As a result of the complexity - which gives us many benefits and much specialization and efficiency - that system is very fragile.

You can't take a battering ram to such a system and expect it to survive. You cannot start knocking out support pillars and expect the structure to continue to stand. This world is not a fortress, it is a fairy castle made of glass and air and light. This dark technocracy is galloping through the cellars and smashing pillars with wanton abandon.

66 The letter from the State Senate sponsors was terribly written, saying in the very first sentence the vote count was correct. That's the sentence that is getting all the publicity. Only in the following paragraphs do you see the irony of the statement, when they point out how many duplicates and "cured" votes were included in that initial number.

69 Are Hospitals Actually Being Overrun by Chinese COVID-19?

https://bit.ly/3zJI1mu

10. Hospitals were never unusually over-burdened. The main argument used to defend lockdowns is that "flattening the curve" would prevent a rapid influx of cases and protect healthcare systems from collapse. But most healthcare systems were never close to collapse at all.

In March 2020 it was reported that hospitals in Spain and Italy were over-flowing with patients, but this happens every flu season. In 2017 Spanish hospitals were at 200% capacity, and 2015 saw patients sleeping in corridors. A paper JAMA paper from March 2020 found that Italian hospitals "typically run at 85-90% capacity in the winter months".

In the UK, the NHS is regularly stretched to breaking point over the winter.

The American Left has rather a lot to answer for. None of their grand ideas are American. They are mostly French (postmodernism) and German (critical theory). Virtually all of the Franco-German conceits that are wielded by the evil to enslave and destroy this world are themselves derived from German communism and it's great Marxist Dialectic (although the new versions have marked more a philosophical return to classical French dialectic, in that it is again non-material at its root).

Despite that, they found a home here and Americans created what it is happening today. The merger and synthesis of the two happened here. This dreadful new thing happened here. And this country's position of cultural and political dominance allowed it to spread. This country's academics merged the essentials and then used America's gigantic megaphone and wealth to spread it.

Has any other country just up and changed their national anthem after hundreds of years?

I am in agreement that the USA national anthem should not be changed, I am just curious if any other country has done something like this before.

This seems along the same lines of tearing down statues. Conquering people do this in order to deliberately destroy a country's history. Which is how I see the actions of the Left. They have conquered the USA by taking over every single institution in the nation. And now they're working to destroy our history.

And what does it matter? I am not being rude though I am being a bit indifferent. The Republicans can't block this, so why bother trying? It all, as you say, comes down to Sinema and Manchin. They will do what they do. If the right bribes are found, they will vote for it. If the right bribes are not found, they will not. The titular (though not actual or effective) "other side" has no say in the process.

And the outcome of the vote doesn't matter much, either. If they pass it, they accelerate our doom a bit. If they fail to pass it, our doom remains on its current course. This bill represents a battle of inches - or maybe a yard or two - in a war of miles. It can't be stopped by the hypothetical opposition force, so why burn the effort on it beyond holding the line and not supporting it (and that must happen, if the worthless Republicans are to hope to survive)?

And one of their own showed them rather viscerally how stupid their energy policies were. Many years ago - mid aughts, if I remember correctly - some rich German pseudo-noble (they don't have an aristocracy anymore, but he was one of the old-guard rich families) demonstrated it. He built some cheap steel sheds on his huge estate and filled them with solar panels on one primary power feed. On another primary power feed, he ran massive lights to run the PV cells. They were on a timer to turn on during cheaper nightly rates to run the solar panels, which fed back into the grid - and paid the expensive rate no matter what.

His massively inefficient (and deliberately so) system ended up paying him a profit month after month until it was discovered he was using cheap nighttime electricity to run lamps to energize solar cells to feed back in on another line and gain high-priced selling rates. It was probably the best demonstration of stupidty.

There's something interesting in there. It all depends on various requirements being made in a manner that is "satisfactory to the Secretary." Not an objective "these things are true" but rather that the secretary is "satisfied." Talk about a "get out of jail free" card. And one of the things that can be demonstrated to satisfy the secretary is:
has demonstrated a consistent record of earned income in the United States in an occupation described in the guidance of the Department of Homeland Security entitled 'Advisory Memorandum on Ensuring Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers' Ability to Work During the COVID-19 Response'

So if you're an illegal who has been working illegally, you're in if you pay the vig. Nice.

If you need the money, go for it. If you don't, make an assessment and answer the following:
1. Will a market remain for these items?
2. Is high inflation likely to continue?
3. Is the market for these items likely to track, beat or underperform against inflation?

Make your guess for each. If point #1 is answered as "false," then sell. Otherwise, make a judgement call.

Yep, and this has yet to sink in for pretty much 99% of conservatives.

The Left has been on a war footing for decades. Taking over institutions, creating groups, developing an interconnected network, controlling everything.

The Right has been patting itself on the back for creating memes and selling pillows and talking about voting harder and "letting it burn". Meanwhile, people across the country are being forced to either take a "vaccine" or lose their jobs and children across the country are being forced to wear masks 8 hours per day which are useless against viruses, but health risks for bacteria spread and for those with respiratory issues.

I would sell, unless it means a lot to you in some way.

One thing stocks have taught me is that everything of value matures to a point where it most likely either decreases at bit slowly over time or stays essentially flat and slowly increases. The trick it seems is either compounding interest over a long period of time (dollar cost averaging) or selling at the "high point" and putting that money to good use elsewhere that's growing faster.

They control every institution of information dissemination and control the voting process in every key state needed to maintain their power and control. They rigged and stole a Presidential election, going so far as to brazenly stop the voting counts in 5 different states and then add tens of thousands of votes to win those elections. And nothing is going to be done about it.

It depends on two big factors, and those are your local PO and your regional sort facility. Some are really good. Some are bullshit. Where I am now, my local PO is excellent and my regional sort is pretty good, with relatively few misses. Where I was before, both the local PO and regional sort were shite. Prior to that, the local PO was good but it is was same regional sort, so final quality was poor.

If you're in a place with good local service and good regional service, your experience will likely be good unless your parcel has to go through one of the worse national-level sorts. Pittsburgh's is terrible, and stuff always gets delayed there in my experience.

201 struggling with my younger son over taking the vaccine - I don't want him to, he thinks I'm crazy.

too much data showing risk to his particular age group, plus my problems since taking second Moderna dose have eased but not left me - I regret taking it. (he would of course not be taking that one but still)

his school is great - was in person last year and they ended up with I think 20-30 percent of the kids getting COVID (all were fine). so this year they started with about 80 percent vaccinated - plus the COVID recovered! Vaccines for the kids not required. For teachers, required, and we lost some good teachers over it (I was unhappy).

so this year - you'd think we would be safe-safe? no.

many teachers have been out with COVID already!!!! how?!?!? they were all vaccinated! the boys are mostly! plus the immunity from having it! and yet ...

The US Department of Health and Human Services, the Louisiana Department of Health and Walgreens are partnered to provide COVID-19 testing by appointment at select Walgreens locations. These sites more than double the available 7-days-a-week testing locations for people to receive a test. LDH-Walgreens locations offer COVID-19 testing at no cost to the patient, though insurance information may be requested. You will not be billed if your insurance denies coverage.

268 So it looks like where everybody is at right now the requirements are endless lockdowns, dust masks and "booster shots" in perpetuity, destroyed lives, governments letting their freak flag fascism fly, businesses destroyed, vaccine casualties, hundreds of thousands of wrongful deaths, every bit of it due to a largely ChiCom bioweapon released upon the world.

Is China going to even get a strongly worded letter out of this deal, or it just going to be "We shall never speak of this again" on the part of our much vaunted leadership?

270 See, the thing is there is a large segment of society that really doesn't give a shit about what is, or isn't written that should be taken as law or whatever one want's to call it. They have decided that they and they alone will make the decision about what's right and wrong. What can and cannot be done or said. As we've see, that apparently changes from day to day depending who's mouthing off at the time.

___________

The 10th Circuit wrote that in the case where they decided it's totes cool for Colorado to force a woman who designs web sites to design a site for a same-sex wedding, even though same-sex marriage violates her Christian beliefs.

So if we're officially allowed to discriminate against religious beliefs that can damage our society, then obviously it should be constitutionally permissible for us to enact immigration laws that explicitly exclude practitioners of islam from our society. After all, islam has wreaked havoc on our society. It's adherents have caused the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans, and caused tremendous damage to our economy as a result of the attacks of 9/11.

So if the test is going to be that religious beliefs are not entitled to constitutional protection if those beliefs can harm society, then obviously muslims must either leave this country or stop practicing islam here, because those beliefs have already caused enormous damage to our society.

PCR tests which are neither accurate nor reliable and are more than likely to result in false "positive" result. Which then puts people into the "COVID protocol" of quarantine and added to the stats of "COVID cases".

https://bit.ly/3zJI1mu

11. PCR tests were not designed to diagnose illness. The Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test is described in the media as the "gold standard" for Covid diagnosis. But the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the process never intended it to be used as a diagnostic tool, and said so publicly:

PCR is just a process that allows you to make a whole lot of something out of something. It doesn't tell you that you are sick, or that the thing that you ended up with was going to hurt you or anything like that."

12. PCR Tests have a history of being inaccurate and unreliable. The "gold standard" PCR tests for Covid are known to produce a lot of false-positive results, by reacting to DNA material that is not specific to Sars-Cov-2.

To be clear, I used to listen to Levin's podcasts every night. There's still a lot to admire about him, one of which is his generosity in giving away his well researched books to listeners, particularly young ones. And I won't criticize anyone for being later than I was to jump on the Golden Scalpweasel Bandwagon. But in the last four years he had some unexpected chinks in his armor, the worst of which was taking a knee to his Fox overlords and not naming Chris Wallace, for whom he'd previously expressed an oddly misplaced fondness for, as the rat who tilted the scales in the debate hosted by the network.

Maybe his business model required him to do that but I don't have to willingly listen to it. Frankly I'm surprised more don't feel likewise.

After that statement there was no sugar coating his previous actions. Or those of the derp state. After that I don't have the luxury of overlooking people who are wrong here and there. I need reliable sources of information and sentimentality be damned. That's how the November election changed me.

There's a term for forcing someone to work against their will, wish I could remember what it is.

Initially, I'm cheered by this result as it says that business owners can't discriminate against who they serve and I Ithink that we could use it to sue businesses that want to discriminate against the un-vaxxed. However, I feel all it really does is reinforce the idea that government has arbitrary control over businesses. So it will be "do what we say, bake the cake and get the shot, bigot".

350 I'm curious if there is a consensus on what the safest jab is. She is thinking johnson and johnson...

https://bit.ly/3zBStfw

In case it hasn't sunk in, let me reiterate... 3 of the 4 covid vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.

Johnson & Johnson has lost major lawsuits in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019 (For what it's worth, J&J's vaccine also contains tissues from aborted fetal cells, perhaps a topic for another discussion)

Oh, and apparently J&J (whose vaccine is approved for "Emergency Use" in the US) and Astrazenca (whose vaccine is not approved for "Emergency Use" in the US), had a little mix up in their ingredients... in 15 million doses. Oops.

That won't happen. The "public health" exception will be applied, and as we saw in the church cases during the height of covid-mania, the SCOTUS is willing to allow the government to completely eviscerate the First Amendment so long as the government utters the magic words that the restriction is necessary the protect the public health.

354 115 Any "constitutional convention" is a waste of time. Anyone that has the position that additional amendments will compel the gov't to follow the rules when they ignore the rules now is deusional. And the system will never allow term limits to be established, the venal sycophants do not want to lose their advantage.

Posted by: Grog at September 27, 2021 07:22 AM (YFj/0)

I posit, just like with the elections, a Constitutional Convention would end up with an Authoritarian bill of rights for those already in power as they will count the votes in a Stalinesque fashion.

358 Don't need a Constitutional Convention. It is all about the Benjamins, so we to control the budget with sufficient margin to overcome the left/RINOs etc. and restructure government. MAGA should align with the Black Church to shift the electoral balance by shifting funding to address the destruction of the family endemic in the underclass. Vouchers, term limited government employment, trade schools/STEM, etc. are win/win ideas to defund the anti-American left.

359 P.S. Re: voting harderer, I guess it depends on if we have gotten "woke" as Kurt Schlichter puts it, and will elect representatives who will destroy the status quo. My focus on the underclass is because of the positive alignment with America ideals, which has always been the framework for accessing the American Dream.

Had a link last week in which Bannon discussed the way forward, which others have echoed. That is to run for all the local offices you can. School boards, community boards and even as far down as condo board. This is how power ultimately manifests itself.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at September 27, 2021 04:19 PM (s2VJv)

361 Yes, but will preaching to the choir change the electoral balance sufficiently? History does not convince me that there are enough MAGA and Tea Party voters to move beyond alternating electoral victories, a losing proposition with the left able to do more destruction during their ascendance than we can remedy in ours. We need to change the electoral paradigm to win in the long term.

362 This is the kind of spiritual sodomy that conservatives for which are so justly infamous. These people are invaders we have every right to shoot them. We are only whipping them what's the problem? This is in a nutshell why conservatives are worthless as well as stupid. That something so obvious is never put forward as policy shows conservatives are just the progressive's volunteer dick-washers. Keep screaming about China, AOC, and Nazi Israel you conservative retards.
