The Morning Report - 7/29/21

Good morning, kids. Breaking early this morning is the news of a massive earthquake that struck off the coast of the Alaskan peninsula with a magnitude of 8.2. That is an insanely powerful quake. Considering the '94 Northridge Quake was 6.7, and the San Francisco quake in '89 was 6.9, if the epicenter of this one had been anywhere near a populated area, the destruction would have been catastrophic to say the least. Looks like we dodged a big bullet, but that said, the Pacific plate is in motion.

Now back to our regularly scheduled meshugas, where the action seems to be shifting from "The Crying Shame," aka the January 6th Commission Hearings, Show Trial and Peep Show to the latest edicts from the junta concerning the Chinese Lung AIDS. The CDC - Center for Deranged Communists - has decreed masks for children come the fall when they go back to school, despite the fact that children are the least vulnerable in either contracting or spreading this disease, that wearing a mask to prevent either is as effective as a chain link fence in stopping mosquitos, that prolonged mask use is actually a health hazard and that the study these inept schmucks based this rule on was rejected by a peer review. This meesekeit quack Rochelle Walensky is also pushing children to get vaccinated despite the fact that as stated they are at least risk and that the vaccines are causing serious side effects, up to and including death, with that number in the tens of thousands now.

Now Joey Bivalve, the demented fraud with the crack-addict son is mandating both masks and now vaccines for all government employees. Sooner or later that means all of us inmates in Gulag Ameri-Kolyma:

This is about as close to a nationwide mandate that Biden will go. But the president's announcement will probably open the floodgates for other employers to mandate vaccines as a requirement for employment.
Surprisingly, Biden will not impose the mandate on members of the armed forces, although he certainly has the authority to do so. He will outline how the Department of Defense may seek to approach the issue, a source told CNN. Biden is already casting blame for the pandemic on the unvaccinated. . .
. . . Just where is that skepticism about vaccines coming from? Biden and the Democrats invented vaccine skepticism back when it was cool to be skeptical about any vaccine created under the leadership of Donald Trump. But that record of dubiousness is being cleansed by Democratic allies in the media who are well aware that Biden and the Democrats' previous skepticism about vaccines during the Trump era will come back to haunt them if they take off after vaccine skeptics today.

Matt Taibbi is about as liberal left as you can get, but along with Glenn Greenwald and to a lesser extent Naomi Wolff, he's at least intellectually honest in his reportage, making this trio about the only honest journalists on that side of the divide. And his pulling no punches in casting the blame for this entire fiasco underscores that.

This bipartisan love-in took place a few days after David Frum, famed Bush speechwriter and creator of the "Axis of Evil" slogan, wrote a column in The Atlantic titled "Vaccinated America Has Had Enough." In it, Frum wondered:
"Does Biden's America have a breaking point? Biden's America produces 70 percent of the country's wealth -- and then sees that wealth transferred to support Trump's America. Which is fine; that's what citizens of one nation do for one another . . . [But] the reciprocal part of the bargain is not being upheld . . . Will Blue America ever decide it's had enough of being put medically at risk by people and places whose bills it pays? Check yourself. Have you?"
I'm vaccinated. I think people should be vaccinated. But this latest moral mania -- and make no mistake about it, the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" p.r. campaign is the latest in a ceaseless series of such manias, dating back to late 2016 -- lays bare everything that's abhorrent and nonsensical in modern American politics, beginning with the no-longer-disguised aristocratic mien of the Washington consensus.
If you want to convince people to get a vaccine, pretty much the worst way to go about it is a massive blame campaign, delivered by sneering bluenoses who have a richly deserved credibility problem with large chunks of the population, and now insist they're owed financially besides. . .
. . . The news landscape has become [Thomas] Frank's dreaded "utopia of scolding," with every screen full of finger-wagging Rahms and Brian Stelters telling us how "fed up" they are with others' inadequacy. This approach not only will fail, it already has, over and over.
Now, this new vaccine debate has been amped to 11. The universal consensus of the "Powerhouse Roundtable" types is that it's time to start opening the whoop-ass cans on the vaccine-hesitant, yanking services and civil liberties from those murderous holdouts who are, the president tells us, "killing people."

If you can get past a couple of digs at Trump and some of his perceptions on taxation and economics, he hits a very crucial nail on the head with these self-styled "elitists" who now lord over us, and are getting more and more strident and, heh, reactionary, as everything they touch turns to shit and then cast the blame un the unwashed masses for noticing and objecting. They're not even hiding it anymore. Lanky hunk of toxic piss Bill DeBolshevik, who is finally on his way out of Gracie Mansion, lets the cat out of the bag. When it comes to vaccines "the voluntary phase is over."

There is a reason for all of this. To repeat my assertion, with the nation and all their schemes and plans are either exposed or collapsing in on them, as we all protest our abuse and degradation, the only thing they have going for them is to generate fear and panic as a distraction. I think at this stage, people are fed up with it and they have gone to the well too many times.

They used the fear of the unknown, in this case a disease that was pimped as the Andromeda Strain of Black Deaths - excuse me - Non-White Death - to help them seize power in 2020. Now they are using it to maintain control 18 months later. That's all this is. All over the world, especially in Europe where the American Left has always wanted us to become, people are taking to the streets and raging against the Macrons, Merkels and Johnsons for keeping them chained to a collective radiator.

You want to talk about fear of a pandemic, the junta is scared shitless that we the people of We The People on this side of the pond are going to catch that fever. And the only cure, for them anyway, is control. Total, absolute and unquestioning.

* * * * *

On an unrelated note, I wanted to talk about this multi-trillion dollar infrastructure fiasco that as of late yesterday was moving forward thanks to the usual gang of scum and criminals in the GOP-e, Collins, Portman, Pee-Air Defecto et al, that sold us down the river for more economic collapse, leftist payoffs and liberty-destroying madness. That said, it seems that it's on the rocks, ironically because of both individuals like the Senator from the state of Kinky Boots Krysten Sinema and more significantly the hardcore Maoists like Titty Caca AOC and PayPal Jayapal.

In the old days, the GOP-e would put up a phony resistance and then compromise by giving the Dems 75-90% of what they want and then declare a victory for conservative principles while being bipartisan (vomit!). This time, the Maoists are not accepting even a kabuki/token compromise. Their intransigence in demanding they get 100% of what they want might actually torpedo this disaster. So, rock on "Squad!" Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Malig-Nancy Pelosi is taking a stand against tuition bailouts, meaning going against Biden, Schumer and Warren. Hmmm, I smell Machiavellian doings behind the scenes there.

What a state of affairs.

19 From the "Full Vaccination in Schools" link:

Walensky answered, “I think if we had overwhelming rates of vaccination — mandated vaccination may be one way to get there — and we saw a lot more blue on that map. As you can see on that map, it’s more red and orange than anywhere blue. But if we saw a lot more blue on that map with high vaccination rates, and to be clear, these will go hand in hand. If we have more and more people vaccinated

52 Once again the Dog That Didn't Bark, the Elephant In the Room, the Glaring Omission in all this Covid/vaccine talk is the prior infected.

The notable, peer-reviewed studies show at least comparable immunity from natural infection vs vaccine. So not only do the actually vaccinated have nothing to worry about (if the vaccine actually works) however exposed, but the prior infected/unvaccinated are no more likely to "expose" anyone to the Vid than the vaccinated.

Yet nothing. Silence. Crickets on an enormous distinction from the GOP. Of course, to make that distinction blows the whole game of what constitutes "herd immunity" so as to end all this Covidmania once and for all. Pro tip: we're already there.

71 Wanna know the reason - the real, root cause reason - for so-called "vaccine hesitancy?" There are a lot of proximal causes discussed from the reasonable (efficacy, side effects, unknown long-term consequences, etc.) to the more far-fetched (magnetism, nanobots, etc.), but there is but one common distal cause: trust.

Vaccine hesitancy results from the reservoir of distrust that the institutions across the world have been filling for decades. If someone you trust offers you a drink, you'll drink it. If someone untrusted - or worse, distrusted - offers you a drink, you're going to decline. Whatever reasons or rationalizations - good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable, rational or irrational - will flow from that root position.

The institutions - all of them - have only themselves to blame.

"However, they also showed that the vaccine altered the production of inflammatory cytokines by innate immune cells following stimulation with both specific (SARS-CoV-2) and non-specific (viral, fungal and bacterial) stimuli. Following vaccination, innate immune cells had a reduced response to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), TLR7 and TLR8 – all ligands that play an important role in the immune response to viral infection. Neta and colleagues also found that cytokine responses to fungi were increased following vaccination."

"We still need to know: do we have political prisoners here in
America, or not? And we can't get an answer," said Rep. Louie Gohmert
(R-TX). "People, whether they've done right or wrong, they deserve to be
treated properly."

Gohmert was joined by Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Matt Gaetz (FL), Bob
Good (VA), Paul Gosar (AZ), andMarjorie Taylor Greene (GA) for the
press conference in front of the Justice Department.

97 >>"I sincerely hope Team U.S.A. turns its performance around. Even more, I hope the country they represent can find its lost patriotism."

I dunno, maybe it's good that the people who said they hate the anthem and might perform some sort of protest from the podium are not making to the winner's podium. . .?

They want America to be humbled and humiliated -- only fair it happens to them personally as representatives of America at an international event. Even better when beaten by some country's team that wasn't even on the radar as a contender (looking at you, USA men's basketball team).

Sowell has never wandered from the conservatism I grew up with, he still writes and he ain't talking about preserving the status quo or western civilization as it is now. The conservatism I know and grew up with has always wanted to get back to and promote American exceptionalism and individualism.

So the executive branch is obstructing the legitimate activities and oversight functions of the legislative? Color me shocked.

Hey, Congress, you made this bed. We all have to lie in it, but *you* made it. Did you really think that a century's worth of enabling acts, continuous and increasing funding, consistent capitulation and a continuous abdication of power to the Executive would have no consequences? Did you think your behavior, going back for generations, wouldn't change the rules? Did you think you'd continue being the big dog when you outsourced virtually all of your functions - from lawmaking to funding - to other organizations?

It had to, following 1991 or possibly 1971. The entire Postwar order was designed for the US and the USSR to offset each other, with American wealth and productivity offsetting superior Soviet manpower and territory. The underpinning of this entire structure was the Bretton Woods system and, well, the Soviet Union. Maintaining that system depended on American responsibility.

We behaved irresponsibly, almost immediately. Bretton Woods failed in 1971 because we spent too much, but we found a way to get through that. We couldn't continue behaving responsibly once the Soviet threat was gone - and the Postwar order can't survive without it.

I strongly suspect that we are living through "the end of the world as we know it." That doesn't mean that cities fall and nations vanish and a billion people die (it could mean that, but I kinda doubt it), but it does mean that everything is different and none of the old rules apply.

226 The Scottish data says that 1300 people were killed by the jab (excess deaths after they were vaccinated specifically compared to the last 10 years). That is with half the Scottish population getting the jab.
Comparatively about 6K (they claim 10K) have died from Wu Flu.

So the jab is *somewhat* safer then getting COVID. BUT two points to consider.
1) Covid is mostly over, so jabbing NOW makes no sense.
2) The Jabs kill the young and healthy, COVID kills the old and sick. A rational actor would ONLY recommend the jabs for older, sicker people and would ban them for say anyone under 35.

There used to be two charities I supported. Now there is one, because I haven't found a replacement for the second since I've moved.

The first is the Salvation Army. They still do good work and don't suck down most of the money on administration. The second is a local "meals on wheels" organization. I need to find the right one in my area, because I think helping feed and provide company for elderly and/or crippled shut-ins is a good deed.

241 As soon as China shipped Wu Flu abroad, intentionally, it was never going away.

You can't vaccinate a flu like illness away - as evidence - well we've never vaccinated a flu like illness away. Consider how the flu vaccine works. And the flu vaccine is about 100 years old and known quantity. So the fact it only give you a marginal defense for a year or so is fine.
Taking experimental untested jabs that similarly only offer a moderate level of protection is insanity.

One of the first true conspiracy theories I saw was that the vaccine was an attempt to "georgia guidestone" people, that is do what Gates was always pining for - massive population reduction. To do it, you have to get everyone to take a vaccine that actually acts like a dog whistle for further variants.

249 Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has exploited a legal loophole to fundraise millions of dollars for her reelection campaign, according to GOP strategists.

Because state Republicans have pushed for a recall election to oust Whitmer, the Democratic governor has been able to take advantage of an exception that allows governors facing potential recall attempts to circumvent the individual donor spending limit.

Normally, individuals are only allowed to donate $7,150 each, but a 1984 state ruling says fundraising for recall elections can be treated differently.

As a result, Whitmer's reelection campaign hauled in $8.6 million fundraising haul from Jan. 1 to July 20, which is the most any gubernatorial candidate in the state has raised during an off-year.

you and your personal situation then take it. Conversely, if you've

This is why I criticize their constant Prevent Defense. It creates an inertia that is difficult to shift out of. It's why teams that have played Meh for 3 Quarters don't rally in the 4th. They can't find the gear.

We're going to make mistakes, but all our mistakes seem to err on the side of caution and passivity. I would like to see *some* of our mistakes to be aggressive ones.

305 How exactly would they enforce a national vaccine mandate?

Implement electronic vaccine passports: https://id2020.org/

Then, force you to provide that for every transaction throughout your daily life - at work, at the store, at school, etc.

It also provides them an easily queried db of people who are/are not faxed to target the unvaxxed for contact/visits, contract tracing, etc.

So, in essence, they really do want bloodshed? Because I believe they will get it if they do this.

See, that's the beauty of the Digital ID that ties yout state/federal ID (DL and passport info) to your medical records, your financial accounts (bank, CC, etc.), your other government services (taxes, fishing/gun/whatever licenses)etc.), as well as all of your social media and online accounts -- it is a single point through which they can track and control you.

If you don't think that will happen, just look at PayPal partnering with the ADL -- they have said they will withhold payment abilities to [whatever term they're using for 'deplorables' these days].

Anglo Prots fleeing the English Protestant Church (insofar as that was the case, many were no doubt economic migrants). In the 1600s-1800s that had long ceased to do anything with the Catholic Church. Protestants sects often weren't on the best terms with one another and given the English activities in Ireland, the brutality involved can be well understood.

375 If the vaccine doesn't give you immunity or foster herd immune it because of "BREAKTHROUGH" infections, how does forcing everyone to get it solve the pandemic?

It doesn't. It removes another line of resistance. People are being conditioned to accept whatever the nobles tell them.

Yes, there were factions of Prots. That still didn't change the fact that the politically incorrect part of the Protestant Reformation not taught in public schools was the fact that Prots fled Europe to escape the Catholic Church. Hell, Anglicans made a large percentage if not the majority in some States of those coming over.
Prosperity was not about money back then. Down here there is still resentment towards outsiders being allowed in because of money and it's accelerated Post WWII.
There is also resentment towards the Elders (Boomers) absolutely failing at mentorship of younger generations and upholding and conserving traditions because they sold out to money and social status of New Money outsiders.

As this discussion demonstrates, secession is inevitable and always has been since the early to mid 1800s. The Financial and mega Capital Class of the NE want to project, change, and own America. This is why I and others have a large disconnect with "conservatism" being pumped out from the NE and DC onto the rest of the country.

"Not A Fed" is attached to those who phrase their posts in such a way to encourage people to give up OPSEC.

I don't think so.

(Well, as long as I've known him he's always been a man to speak his mind) We bring him to church every Sunday lately and he is glad to be back in the community. It's hard for him to get adjusted to a Senior Care Center but he's teaching a Bible study over there so that may be a good thing-except they argue with him.

This claim doesn't make any sense. Who are these Protestants? What's their supposed nationality? England wasn't under the Catholic Church and they're pretty much the only place to see any significant population of religious minorities fleeing to the New World.

Anglicans were the ones persecuting those other prots in England. Anglicans aren't Catholic fyi, though their theology has varied wildly over time as it changed with the monarchy.

Spain has an entire black legend written about them and somehow this doesn't make it in?

"Catholic Charities" generally speaking have been around for a very long time. IIRC some manifestation of religious organizations was responsible for the "Vietnamese Boat People" back in the 70's, are active in Africa, assisted with the importation of Latino's from various South and Central American countries for decades and now continues. However they don't seem to be interested with Europeans fleeing war torn areas.

The 13 colonies were closer to distinct countries with unique identities than anything else. At the founding the US could hardly be called a 'nation', and the concept of nationalism was still in its infancy. 50% English divided into historically hostile protestant sects hardly qualifies as unity.

469 "what are we doing here?"

I think everyone is coping as we adjust to the new normal. And in group so the political isolation doesn't feel so lonely.
Questions like yours may make people uncomfortable (a few have already snarked back at you for being a "fed" haha) but I think that's just a defensive reaction to being reminded that we are currently (hopefully temporarily) impotent. It's easy to spot because the reaction is always out of proportion.

And to be fair, there's not much that can be done here. People are waiting for leadership, for guidance, for 2022 to see what pans out. And there is no point in discussing real solutions because that will quickly go off the rails and could risk this site getting shut down. And then everyone will have to deal with all this alone. Which would suck even more.

So I'm think sitting back, soaking up info, and enjoying the show is what's on the menu here. And laugh while we still can haha.

I had only two points I was making.

There was not some major protestant exodus fleeing Catholics. Countries mostly broke pretty cleanly along religious lines, England has brutal persecutions because they flip to different theologies so many times.

In response to the later comments about the make-up of the founding US, the 13 colonies were founded by different groups, ethnic and religious for their own purposes. In effect they viewed themselves as independent states. The reason our Constitution prohibits a State Church is to avoid the situation in England where the government was constantly trying to create a uniform religion.

A nationalistic notion of America for the Anglo-prots didn't really exist as nationalism hasn't come to exist yet. And moreover the prots did not have a single group identity, they didn't view each other as on the same team necessarily. The Constitution was all about balancing the interests of these different groups.

North Germany wasn't under the sway of the Catholic Church. England had long since broken with Rome. They can't be fleeing Catholic persecution because there are not Catholic governments there to persecute them. The reformation roughly broke Germany into South Germany and North Germany, US largely got North German populations.

I'd say the country was founded by Christians but not yet a nation at the time. Obviously there was little expectation for it become non-Christian.
