The Morning Report - 8/26/21

Good morning, kids. Thursday and I'm thinking of a refrain from the halcyon days of Barack Hussein Obama ("mmm, mmm, MMM!!!!") which I will update so as not to have to write the accursed name of the GOP-e stooge candidates that pretended to oppose him;

"They said if we vote for Trump, we'd have a fascist dictatorship. And they were right!"

Dear Lord, as depressed and angry as I was from 2009 through 2016, what with Democrat-induced economic collapse, horrendous racial divisions, bureaucratic and media suppression of non-Leftists, disastrous foreign policy and an ever-expanding federal leviathan, compared to what is going on right here and now, they seem like a walk in the park. Whichever person or persons is running this country, and I believe that Barack Obama for sure is among them, what started out as revenge on President-in-Exile Trump and everyone who voted for him has now turned into a full-on final assault on the very foundations of our society.

Let me rephrase that slightly to give it more accuracy. It is not that they seek revenge on us for voting for Donald Trump; they seek revenge on us for rejecting them. Even that presupposes that they even deign to recognize that we should have the option to reject them in the first place. It is revenge for throwing a monkey wrench into a machine that for over a century has been ever so slowly, yet finely, grinding us into dust. And as everything they touch collapses in on us, it only makes their lust for power and control that much more rabid.

Call this suicide by Democrat. We have suicide bombers in the White House. We have suicide bombers in our governor's mansions. Worst of all, we have suicide bombers directing the U.S. economy. This is the Titanic. This is the Hindenburg. We are headed for disaster.
New York City now demands vaccine passports to go into any restaurant, bar, nightclub, gym -- even retail store. Los Angeles followed suit. So did San Francisco and New Orleans. How many more will follow? Las Vegas, my home, the entertainment capital of the world, isn't far behind. You now need proof of vaccination to enter concerts, conventions, even Allegiant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. Will restaurants, gyms and retail stores be far behind?
This is madness. This is economic suicide. Either Democrats are ignorant morons, or this is the final Democrat plan to destroy capitalism by putting every business owner out of business. After all, this is what socialists, Marxists, communists and globalist America-haters have been waiting their whole lives for.
Let me explain what's about to happen. About 50% of America hasn't taken the vaccine. That's no coincidence. Somewhere between 40% and 50% of America is never taking the vaccine. No matter what you say or do, the answer is still NO. We will not comply. . .
. . . So, think about what this all means. If government is dumb enough to demand vaccine passports, that means 40% to 50% of us won't eat at restaurants, or go to bars and nightclubs, or concerts, or conventions, or sports events. We won't buy anything at your retail stores anymore. Which means everyone is out of business. No business in America can take a 20% loss of sales, let alone 30%, or 40%, or 50%. They're all out of business. Which means tens of millions of Americans will lose their jobs. Total economic collapse will soon follow. . .
. . . This isn't just about conservatives. Many doctors and nurses I know want nothing to do with the jab. Large portions of black and Latino citizens don't want the jab either. Lots of people don't want that jab. And if you demand vaccine passports to get into any business, you've just lost all that revenue. Good luck. Few businesses in America will survive. Mass economic devastation is coming. The Great Depression of all depressions could be coming. Could anarchy and civil war be far behind?

If the absolute disaster that is Afghanistan is a body blow insofar as the 75 years of the Pax Americana and what it has/had meant to our security and world security, the unprecedented power and control that truly sick people in positions of power only got a taste of with the lockdowns will be the coup de grace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is it right here, people.

On January 20th of this year, as the last few hours of one of the greatest presidencies in American history, and perhaps the last (legitimate) presidency in American history, ticked away, I wrote:

In a few short hours, we are going to enter a phase of our lives where we will be confronted with situations, perhaps even of life and death, that are going to challenge us in ways that until recently seemed unimaginable. Not just physically and emotionally but in ways that will force us to confront who we are and what we believe as rational, decent, G-d fearing human beings. If anyone thinks this is hyperbole, you have not been paying attention to what has been happening all around us for the past four years and longer.

Well, here we are. We are now being forced to be vaccinated or else be excluded from going to restaurants or other venues. Already there is talk of denying medical care to the unvaccinated. How long before they deny Social Security payments, or banks are ordered (or worse suggest to the junta!) to freeze your assets, or like in China you are welded into your homes, that is if your homes are not confiscated and you are sent off to Molokai? We talked about Australia yesterday where service dogs were slaughtered so as to prevent people from traveling to pick them up. Worse, four sick infants died because traveling, even to hospitals to save their lives, was prohibited. That is insanity. And yet it's the same mindset that Angel of Death Cuomo had when he unleashed a biological weapon on the elderly akin to medieval armies flinging plague-ridden corpses over besieged city walls, or when Wretched Whitmer decided to arbitrarily ban the selling of seeds and gardening implements at big box stores just because she could.

Whatever one thinks about these vaccines is irrelevant. Even if every man, woman and child got the jab, do you really think that we would get our liberty back? It is axiomatic that once anyone has a taste of absolute power the last thing they want is to willingly surrender it. Two weeks to flatten the curve. Pfft. Two centuries to flatten us thinner than Rachel Corrie. This is the hill that we're going to die on, folks. You are going to have to be Claudette Colvin or Clarence Henderson. We hang together or we hang separately.

And on a not unrelated note to the grim prospects we face over here, we Psaki-psircle back to Afghanistan:

"I enjoy being in America. It's fun, you know? Because you had, you have so many things we never had in Russia. Like warning shots." - Ukrainian comedian Yakov Smirnoff on The Johnny Carson Show, 1988.
Comedy is easy. Risking your life over it is hard. If there is anything murderous psychotic fascists will not brook, above all else, it is being ridiculed. No sense of humor whatsoever.
Historical precedents abound. In 1940, Adolf Hitler sentenced Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges to death in absentia for The Great Dictator and You Nazty Spy, respectively. All four comedians exhibited extraordinary courage in spurning Hitler's lethal decree by continuing to make fun of him in film and public appearances for the duration of the war unto Hitler's demise.
It is unlikely that Russian authorities ever shot Soviet-era comedian Yakov Smirnoff, though I have no doubt the Soviet government was more than happy to hand him a visa to get him out of the country. Afghani comedian Zahar Mohammed, aka Khasha Zwan, who became nationally famous for ridiculing the Taliban in hilarious fashion, was not so lucky. Khasha received no warning shots when he was dragged from his home by Taliban psychos in Kandahar in late July. He was later found murdered, shot to death, and his throat slit. . .
. . .The most jarring part of that scene for me, as I am sure it was for millions of others who saw the film, was seeing Benigni's Guido joking and shticking with his executioner all the way to his death. Just like Khasha Zwan. The big difference is of course that Roberto Benigni is still breathing, as Life is Beautiful was just a movie. The Afghan version starring Khasha Zwan was all too sickeningly real. Of all the far too numerous and gruesome horrors emerging from Afghanistan since the Biden [junta] handed the country over to the Taliban on a silver platter, this one hit me the hardest of all.
Perhaps it's because I dedicated twelve years of my life to writing comedy screenplays. Or maybe it just offends every sensibility I have seeing a comedian brutally slaughtered for the capital crime of making jokes.
It also makes me wonder just how many so-called brave comedians like Steven Colbert and Kathy Griffin et al really are. If President Trump really had been the psychotic fascist murderer they accused him of being during his presidency and federal Nazi jackboots were dragging them off to their deaths, do you think they'd still be making Trump jokes the whole way? Or would they be wetting their panties and begging for mercy?
It's a rhetorical question. We all know the answer. . .
. . . Khasha was very well-liked throughout the country, and revenge killings may happen. I see two big dangers for Afghans if they do. Like the Nazis before them, I have no doubt that Taliban foot soldiers will round up and slaughter innocent civilians in far greater numbers as reprisals for the killings of their own.
Second, what chance of resistance do the Afghan people have now that Joe Biden has left the Taliban as a better-equipped militarily than 166 other nations on earth? It should be noted and documented for all time that the Taliban are not the only ones responsible for Khasha Zwan's brutal murder.
And to think the Taliban bloodletting is only beginning. It also does not escape me that the first news I received of this insane murder was on Twitter. What will it take for Jack Dorsey to de-platform these maniacs? Do they need to hanging a flag from their headquarters saying "TRUMP WON"?

The implications and parallels to what is happening here and now are obvious. At least they should be.

16 Peasants, local cadres, and party officials, wittingly, participated in a blatant lie that starved between 36 million and 45 million civilians to death within a few years.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded here and there, now and then are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people.

Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as bad luck.

31 Let me rephrase that slightly to give it more accuracy. It is not that they seek revenge on us for voting for Donald Trump; they seek revenge on us for rejecting them.
++++
To a point. That is a motivation, but I don't know that it is *the* motivation. It ties in to the bold bit at the beginning: They said if we vote for Trump, we'd have a fascist dictatorship. And they were right!
It did turn out that way, but it would have turned out that way regardless without maybe five or six Donald Trumps in a row, each more effective than the last. We have been on this road for a long time now and we would get to where are - and where we're going - with or without Trump. He may have ironically acted as an accelerator, but he is not he cause.

They are more vindictive now, when they used to be merely acquisitive. They do want to punish us for our temerity. This was also always going to happen. Even without a figure like Trump to use as a rallying cry, totalitarian dictators and their men always punish and deprive the peasants. It's what they do. It's who they are.

Well, there's a reason we have not had a vaccine for various respiratory viruses, they mutate and modulate very quickly as they circulate through populations, which is why COVID has essentially been eradicated by the Human Immune System, which is most definately not a conspiracy theory.

Where are those people today in all of this?

If Republicans believe they can simply sit and watch the enemy destroy us, with no plans to take back the ground THEY have ceded, they may want to find another vocation. Because we won't settle for hearing, platitudes or "visits to the border". We want action and they better start telling us what their plan is.

Exclusive: Samples From Early Wuhan COVID Patients Had Genetically Modified Henipah, One of Two Types of Viruses Sent From Canadian Lab

Samples from early Wuhan COVID-19 patients show the presence of genetically modified Henipah virus, an American scientist has found.
Henipah was one of the two types of viruses sent to China by Chinese-born scientists from a Canadian laboratory at the centre of a controversy over the firing of the scientists and collaboration with Chinese military researchers. It is not clear whether the virus found in the Chinese samples is related to the virus samples sent by the Canadian lab, which were shipped in late March 2019.
The samples from the patients, who reportedly were found to have an "unidentified pneumonia disease" in December 2019, were uploaded to the genetic sequence database, GenBank, on the website of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH).
...
"We found genetic manipulation of the Nipah virus, which is more lethal than Ebola." Nipah is a type of Henipah virus.

Issa was an early version of Treytor Gowdy, minus the goofy hair and HeeHaw accent, who used to tell Chris Wallace that his toothless committee had Gaylord and his wingman "right where they wanted them" as Wallace had this weird "yay ratings" smile. Total fraud. Those students are toast.

92 COVID was a convenient excuse to force the left's agenda on us. Under the guise of "health" it's being used for all sorts of social change. If they had tried to used "climate change" as the rationale for all this many more would have flipped the middle finger.

If COVID was manufactured to be the catalyst, as many believe, I think in the long run it's still going to fail. Neither this nor "climate change" is a believable risk to civilization. Not that it can't still torch much of the world, but it's being hyped to 11.

This wildly misconstrues the reality. That was not a systemic failure and targeting-by-policy. That was a single bad actor in a branch office, far away from the central control mechanisms. We dealt with that problem. There was no - and is no - systemic issue within the IRS. There never has been and thanks to their rigorous process controls and accountability, there never will be. This has always been a trumped-up lie, which was demonstrated and proven when I was obliged to go defend myself against it to the United States Congress.

Learn your history and quit spreading lies. Neither I nor my organization behaved in a corrupt manner, and the specific bad actors were punished. This issue is closed.

I am, however, extremely angry about two things that were left behind, which can be used indefinitely by the enemy. Drones and night-vision goggles. We used to 'own the night', which was our biggest advantage over these groups. We couldn't even spare a container to throw all of that stuff into and load onto a cargo transport to get out of there. You don't need any sophisticated maintenance on a set of goggles; just some batteries.

124 The U.S. Military is Losing Support, Losing Wars and Failing in its Most Basic Mission
________

One of several I've read that remind me of one thing. It's not just fighting they are ignoring. For the Navy, there is, even in the most peaceful times, another, inexorable enemy they always have to fight. (One of the best naval novels, albeit Brit, is The Cruel Sea.) You don't even need naval experience to see this; anyone who "messes about in boats" knows it. (To cite an even greater novel.)

In fact, it's not uncommon in naval history to see criticism of those who overemphasized seamanship training over fighting, and seakeeping over combat strength in design. But now that question seems irrelevant. They can't even do that, their first job.

Posted by: Eeyore at August 26, 2021 07:29 AM (7X3UV)

125 What people don't understand is the way we left Afghanistan will haunt us for years to come. It is now a place where global jihadists will flock to, in order to train and launch attacks. It will be a nexus of all the threats we've sent the last 20 years trying to eliminate. In terms of weaponry, keep in mind the Taliban has been fighting us using weapons largely developed in the 1940's- AK's, PK, DShK, some type 56's. etc. They will keep whatever small arms and artillery they've captured running for awhile- and use them against us.

This all could have been avoided if we kept Bagram- which was the original plan.

We didn't have a US military death over there for well over a year, and Afghanistan was relatively peaceful in the weeks before we actually got out of there.

American Maoism
_________

That was good. Mao creeps me out the most, of all the monsters. At least Hitler and Stalin liked SOME of the cultures they ruled, e.g., opera and ballet. Mao wanted to eradicate China itself.

But there's another thing involved. Maoism was, by any strong sense of Marxism, a heresy. I don't doubt that Lenin would have had him shot. But the commies do seem to be able to band together against the rest of us. Sort of like a certain Middle Eastern religion, which, left to itself, is in internal warfare, until they join in jihad.

Please...do not be so hasty... it was NOT a school field trip. Read what I wrote. They were traveling with their parents to visit family in AF and I agree the timing was poor, but the fall of Kabul occurred virtually overnight.

Saw interview with French-AF doctor who was there and got out. Within hours of the arrival of Taliban people began to flee Kabul. Many left the city to the outskirts to seek shelter. From that point on it was all downhill as we have seen. The panic was instantaneous.

Both things can be true. Clearly not every Afghan is useless at fighting - as Trump said, that's all they do. I am sure that many if not most of the recruits in the ANA are useless, and their way of fighting is not ours. But at the same time, it is their country, their families, and they are not all big fans of the Taliban.

Posted by: Guy Smiley at August 26, 2021 08:21 AM (Bmy3R)

305 What they're not telling you - the antibodies show evidence of recent infection (or vaccination). After some months, the antibodies go bye-bye.

But having been exposed and acquired a virus like Covid, the body has long term conferred immunity, in the form of T cells. This lasts for decades, but an antibody test isn't going to show that. The test for antibodies costs around $150 is my understanding.

They expunged any mention of natural immunity early on in this debacle on the official websites, and ex post facto edited them in fact.

Why?

318 A possible way some of the Americans Joe leaves behind can get a bit of temporary safety is to ask for temporary asylum at embassies and consulates of neural countries. (Switzerland, Sweden, maybe Morocco).

First they have to get to one of those neutral outposts. (Likely all are in Kabul.) Then the neutrals have to admit them and grant temporary asylum.

Joe can try to cut another deal with the Taliban for the first step. ISIS and Al-Qaeda will be on the lookout, though. I don't know the diplomatic rules for the second part.

I can't think of another option to be "safe" and have the possibility of Biden eventually negotiating your "safe" passage out of A-stan.

Some NGO announces plans to plant 10 million mostly imaginary trees and you donate some money, mostly used to pay staff salaries.

Or you are the late billionaire T Boone Pickens who built windmills for the certificates, or you are a living multi-billionaire like Musk who makes more money selling certificates rather than selling cars. Or you are like Google and Facebook and are heavily invested in subsidy farming businesses built completely to serve the certificate dealing community. Or you are Al Gore and get vig on each certificate transaction.

It is 100% about raising the cost of goods and billionaires skimming off the increase in the name of Green.
