The Morning Report - 4/26/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning kids. Start of a new week and evidently last night, to paraphrase Bro-Fo Omar/Nur/Burqawitz/Ikeeelyou, some people in Hollywood did something. There's precious little difference between the toxic cancer emerging out of that accursed town and onto movie and TV screens and what spews out of Maxine Waters' pie hole at any given moment. No doubt much of that town, like much of DC has been provably infiltrated by Communist Chinese influence, but if it's anti-American, anti-white, anti-Judeo-Christian, the so-called "entertainment" industry has been churning it out for decades (people like Elia Kazan and Senator Joe McCarthy called it way back when). Until perhaps the late Clinton years, some nominally pro-American or at the very least politically/culturally neutral things came out of that town but that vanished on or soon after 9/11. Never mind the dozens of anti-war "stealth turds" (in and out of the theater so fast, they didn't have time to stink) that were box office poison, or multi-million-dollar advance books that were loss-leaders (or political payoffs), or ratings crashes on the network news programs, or the vanishing readership of newspapers. All of them double-, triple-, and quadrupled-down on the agitprop intended to make you doubt your beliefs and to give the appearance that the Leftist worldview was in the majority and ascendant here in the nation formerly known as the United States of America.

If that really were the case, then the Left would not be importing millions upon millions of illiterate foreign peasants to boost the Democrat voter rolls - that is when they're not rigging elections to get the "right outcome" - or using the cover of a viral pandemic to strangle small business and "the middle class" in order to turn them into a permanent underclass dependent upon government and institute a command and control economy, or foment racial and ethnic strife to keep down close to two-thirds of the population who are not on board with "fundamental transformation." That's not just white people but anyone, regardless of race or socio-economic status who sees through all of this.

Most crucially, if America bad/Marxist-Leninism good, then the school systems wouldn't need to now overtly embrace what amounts to a noxious, racist program of mass indoctrination that demonizes the aforementioned white Judeo-Christian nation as founded. While that has been going on for perhaps the past six decades or more to one extent or another, the elevation of "critical race theory" to the central tenet of national curricula is an absolute catastrophe. Substitute a few phrases and words here and there and perhaps print it in a Fraktur typeface and there is little to distinguish Ibram X. "Crement" Kendi and Adolfs Hitler & Rosenberg. I shit you not, my friends. But I'm digressing. What I'm getting at is that the Left can never win in an honest arena of ideas. Psaki-Psircling back, if this country and society were so horrendous, Saul Alinsky would never have become a thing. The central tenet of Rules for Radicals is lying and deception to gain political advantage. Karl Marx, piss be upon him, invented the notion of "false consciousness" to explain why people who are flourishing in a prosperous, open society only think that they are flourishing and prosperous when in reality they are slaves to the upper class; i.e. "who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"

By the end of 2019, President-in-exile Trump's economic miracle had elevated so many blacks, Latinos and lower income people in general and in so doing absolutely crushed the myth of Democrat-Leftist economic policy that had kept them in misery for decades. His appeal of "what have you got to lose" in voting for him delivered, big time. Minority unemployment was at record lows along with a concomitant record number of same leaving the welfare and food stamp rolls. The laughable clown show that was the Democrat primary season only underscored how totally out of touch that party had become with its base, an underclass of the poor and disenfranchised who in truth were only poor and disenfranchised because of decades of Democrat policy they had been duped into voting for.

Cue the greatest psy-op warfare weapon of all time and then the arrest of George Floyd. And the rest as they say is history. But it's a history that is still being written. In spite of it all, there is a vast SILENCED majority of people who know that what we are living through right now is wrong. And that is why the Enemy is going pedal-to-the-metal to brainwash the next generation of children into hating themselves, their parents and their history while being given absolutely zero instruction in the basic skills that would make them independent, functioning, moral individuals - the exact opposite of what a communist totalitarian state needs to maintain power. But the one thing that the Enemy does not have is time. The very things they are instituting in terms of economic and social policies are going to collapse into a massive Cloward-Piven sinkhole faster than they imagined or planned. And then all bets will be well and truly off.

What emerges after that is anyone's guess.

Go back 54 generations, as I have on the line that leads back to Chlodio, and the number of ancestors that you have who are also 54 generations back is over 18 quadrillion, for a total number of ancestors between then and now that is exactly twice that number minus one.

What Mr. Brainiac failed to comprehend is that, the further back you go, the greater the likelihood that branches will be repeated within the tree. There are not 18 quadrillion unique individuals in every person's family tree. Somebody or another estimated that the most distant relative now living of anyone now living is approximately a 50th cousin, however many times removed.

The basic thought of 80% of Democrats is that the Middle Class is the problem. Dems hate the Middle Class with the intensity of a thousand Suns. The Middle Class on need the Big Govt to build roads, defend borders, and delver the mail. Dems hate roads, it allows too much freedom; they want trains. The borders must remain open for cheap labor and new voters. The USPS is GSE for union workers and union donations, it has very little to do with actually deliver something. (See Fedex and UPS).

So the 3 things the Middle Class wants and needs are the 3 thing DEMS HATE.

No. This is the humiliation part. A feature of every totalitarian society is humiliation of its subjects. The masks and "social distancing" are tactics of humiliation.

The obsession with these sociopaths to dictate your diet and reduce people to herbivores (e.g. cattle, sheep) or Bill Gates excited about people being forced to eat insects - this is pure, unadulterated evil that is designed to humiliate and insult the Imago Dei.

Critical Race Theory -- You Paid for It, You Got It

I think my biggest eye opener - and probably the cause of most sadness for me as an American - is the realization that, definitely before but visibly after 9/11/2001 - a big chunk of my countrymen have no interest in freedoms or the "live and let live" approach to lives of others that I had always felt was a, if not THE, basic principle of being an American.

I'd always assumed people were like me.

They weren't. They were communists with a plan, and they were advancing it while 60-70% of us assumed they were Americans like the rest of us. They were in places of power, and they were disconnecting the wires from the back end of the voting levers that Americans were pulling.

That's been a heartbreaking realization for me.

This will never apply to the "protected" classes, as anyone calling the police on a black or brown family will generate huge headlines on "the white man's need to police and subjugate minorities." This is really all about the need to subjugate white people on a scale that I previously considered unfathomable.

I worked with an old guy who told about being so poor that his family would shoot and eat any large bird that landed in their yard. Crows, robins, jays, anything.

It's incredible to consider that we had a glimpse at 2016-2020 and what our nation could be again economically, and realizing that we might be on our way to poaching animals for meat in the next 20 years.

101 There's a blacklist (though it should be called - according to Woke Tech - a "deny list" because racism) in Hollywood, sure enough. It isn't an anticommunist list, though. It has two facets. First - though overall of less importance - it's Anti-American or anti-conservative. Second, it's anti-anti-pedophile.

To get work in Hollywood, you need to refuse to acknowledge that they have a serious molestation problem, especially regarding children. To get good, continuous work in Hollywood (a whitelist, if you will), you need to participate. if you want to work at all, you mustn't ever discuss it.

104 I think my biggest eye opener - and probably the cause of most sadness for me as an American - is the realization that, definitely before but visibly after 9/11/2001 - a big chunk of my countrymen have no interest in freedoms or the "live and let live" approach to lives of others that I had always felt was a, if not THE, basic principle of being an American.

I'd always assumed people were like me.

They weren't. They were communists with a plan, and they were advancing it while 60-70% of us assumed they were Americans like the rest of us. They were in places of power, and they were disconnecting the wires from the back end of the voting levers that Americans were pulling.

The irony is that "social issues" are literally "social constructs", and social constructs are seen as artificial and ephemeral in the post-modern worldview. That is, whatever is a social construct can and should be deconstructed (e.g. patriarchy).

If you are seeing the language of creating a war footing, it may be simply because they are trying to create a unified front against an enemy. To those who have a moral/religious worldview, the enemy is very clear who they have targeted for elimination.

I don't think FEMA is building those camps just for detaining illegal aliens.

125 I was thinking very early this morning how easily all of this destruction could've been avoided. Not only long term, but just in the ensuing months following Nov. 3rd. Our destruction (and make no mistake that's exactly what we're living through) could've been avoided. Our freedoms and country could've been saved. All it took was for the right people to do the right thing when they could have. But they didn't. State legislatures didn't. People like Rattsh*tburger in GA didn't. And most crushing of all, the Supreme Court of the United States failed the American people miserably. The saying is very true: All it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing. And here we are. Looking at the end of our country, fully and completely. And it all could have been so different. I'd cry, but I'm just too numb at this point.

I checked out the province's stats site and, yes, indeed, the under-20 stats have now risen from 2 dead over the past two months I've been visiting the government's stats page to 3. Oddly enough, none of the chyrons reporting the girl's death mention the overall death toll.

I know people don't want to see it, but this is where we're headed. There's a lesson to be learned in all of these instances. Some people won't acknowledge it because they don't want to be racist or whatever, but they're still observing and learning the lesson.

Remember in the 80s-90s when this racial bullsh*t had pretty much disappeared except for a few isolated pockets of cargo cultists?

So 400 illegal families per day being moved into the US. Lets says 3.5 people per family so that is 1400 people per day and around 42k per month. At $5k each that is $210,000,000 per month.

Good times. We stayed at one of the resorts attached to Universal, so we could walk or water taxi in every day. The place gave up Express Passes, so we were able to skip most lines for the shorter lines. We spent too much money on food and drink, and I ate far more than I burned off walking.

It's a nice change of pace when we don't have to worry about what to do with the kids on 95% of the rides.

Universal requires it in the park at at CityWalk, the connecting tissue between Universal and Islands of Adventure, so it was just masked up everyone while we were there. When we went elsewhere, like the walk back to the hotel or if we went to an outlet mall, I wore the mask as little as possible. She got irritated with me.

It wasn't fear of the covids, but fear of getting kicked out of places. The only person who said anything to me about it was the older Hispanic woman who was managing the virtual line for the Disney store at the outlet (which we never even got into anyway). I had masked up mall security stare directly at me and just keep on. I wasn't the only one, and Dolley would take hers off from time to time, but it felt nice to feel some kind of return to normalcy.

The 400 illegal alien families a day only represent the number that the Biden administration apprehends coming over the border.

The border cameras in Cochise Co., Arizona, show that only about 10% of the total number of illegal border crossers get apprehended by Border Patrol.

So the actual numbers of illegal aliens who are going to end up living here and sucking up taxpayer-funded services is much, much higher than the 400 families-per-month number.

Also, it has been estimated that illegal aliens who apply for and get "asylum" end up costing U.S. taxpayers around $80,000 in benefits per year. And the Biden mal-administration just increased the number of illegals who can get that status.

251 Unemployment benefits have been extended in numerous states, and the feds have extended the extra $300/week into September. No doubt they will extend it again until at least election day.

There are help wanted signs all over the place, but who's going to take a $12/hr. job when they can make double that on the dole.

275 Good Morning, and thanks for the news J.J.

I got into a slight altercation with a large "woman" at Petco yesterday. I had the nerve to walk in without a mask. I refuse to wear one, which is why I don't get out much. Anyway, she screams at me from across the store asking if I need a mask, I just say no thank you. She then sprints over to me screaming that I need to get out of the store, again I tell her, I'll just be a minute. She was all up in my grill waving a mask in my face and telling me to leave, blocking me at every turn. She had to have been 5'11 and about 250, I'm 5'3 and about 115, so she clearly had the advantage. So I start to record the situation and told her I just need to get a harness and then I would leave, she said that I would not be receiving service and that I needed to leave. I asked her to back off of me because she pretty much body blocking me, and I told her she was acting like a crazy person and the Gestapo. She told me I was rude and disrespectful to the other customers for not wearing a mask and kept screaming at me to leave. I ended up just leaving, but not before I called her a Nazi, she didn't seem to mind.

I don't care if it's their policy, it's wrong and they need to be the ones that are ostracized not us

Posted by: rickb223 at April 26, 2021 08:29 AM (OCTRt)

She was an inch a way from me the whole time, she was careful to not actually touch me, but came as close as you can, she did block me from reaching for a dog harness. It was truly nuts. I told her she could always call the cops, strange she didn't do that.

No more bargains I'll guess.

Posted by: Ziba at April 26, 2021 08:31 AM (S1hrL)

I can't say. Many others have traveled there more recently than I. But traditionally, you are coming up on the high season. That is not a bad thing mind you. This is really the best time to go, much better than at the end of the season, when the Euros have had their fill of tourists.

Yes they do. Not in your home (you can and should throw them out) but they do. Just like you do, if you wish. It's uncivilized and incredibly rude, but you have the right to behave an asshole. And the person on the receiving end has the right to tell the asshole to get fucked, put away his wallet and never patronize the place again.

I don't put up with it. If I get pushback on the mask thing, I decline. If I am ordered to comply, I tell the person his policies are stupid and he should be ashamed of himself. Then I leave and add the place to the list of places to which I will never return. It has happened once in the past two months since I moved. It happened a lot in my old AO.

They have the right to control my behavior on their property. If they wanted to require that I Riverdance whenever in an aisle, they could do so. And I could - and would and do - tell them to fuck off and never do business with them.

335 They have the right to control my behavior on their property. If they wanted to require that I Riverdance whenever in an aisle, they could do so.

Then we'll agree to disagree. You have decided to accept any corporate rule - and that truly is your right. I choose not to - as truly is my right. Then it will become a battle of wills - do they have more will than I do ? I like my chances. Which shouldn't mean anything to you - as my choice has no bearing on your choice. Just as your decision to comply means nothing to me.

It's not corporate rule, it's property rights. It become corporate rule when the companies collude in restraint of trade (which does happen a whole shit ton, especially in big tech), but if there is a population of free agents (that is, a market), then it's just property rights. If they don't have the right to dictate standards of behavior on their property, then neither do I (and vice-versa). If their standards of behavior are unacceptable, I can decline to associate with them - unless they collude with their competitors to remove choice or it isn't by their choice (it is due to a government mandate).

This is why my tolerance for mask requirements plummeted immediately to zero in the absence of a state mandate. At that moment, it becomes a choice and I don't support their choice.
