Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report - 12/2/21Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, told Fox News Digital reporters from his jail cell from Waukesha County Jail he feels "dehumanized." "I just feel like I'm being monster -- demonized," Brooks told reporters, according to Fox News. . . . . . [The alleged mass-murdering terrorist's mother, Dawn] Woods said her family have been "torn to pieces" from the rampage that killed 6 and injured more than 62 others, adding that even though Brooks suffered from mental excuses throughout his life, she believes that the massacre was a result of him "not having the help and resources he needed," according to FOX6."Not having the help and resources he needed." Ho. Lee. Fook. For close to 60 years, this nation has spent upwards of $25 trillion dollars - and counting - on what was collectively known as both the Great Society and the War on Poverty. The most massive, all-encompassing welfare state that has ever been conceived and yet this woman comes out with a statement like that? Well, either one of two things can be inferred. She is a shiftless, lazy layabout who was too self-absorbed to even get off her fat ass to actually get her sonny boy the help he needed, or the help and resources she claims he never had were useless. Or, one more; sonny boy himself didn't want to avail himself of any of these things. Meh. As we say around these parts "Embrace the power of 'and'" for all of the above. In point of fact, the welfare state is worse than useless: it's poisonous. Prior to 1965, the black American family was relatively stable and despite Democrat-created and enforced Jim Crow laws (ironically, the ones that Biden's own solicitor general is actually arguing in favor of before the Supreme Court in the Dobbs case) black Americans in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War were moving up the economic ladder and poised to become a bulwark of the American middle class. And since the Democrat Party and the anti-American left rely on the disenfranchised and a vast underclass for their political power, the upward mobility of black America heralded the death knell of the Democrats. What to do? Well, for one thing, you open the borders and import millions of third world peasants, immediately registering them as Democrats (thank you Teddy Kennedy) and you weaponize the legitimate civil rights movement to foment resentment and hatred against the very people who gave it the political muscle in the first place: white conservatives, Judeo-Christians and the Republican party. You also use fake grievance as a means to stigmatize the precepts of self-reliance, personal responsibility and the work ethic as racist and white supremacist, to instill the illusion of helplessness and hopelessness. "Ain't No Makin' It" as the propagandists (who are, like Jay MacLeod, 99 44/100% white and leftist) claim. Psaki-Psircling back to the wages of the welfare state, what used to be known as "relief" in the old days was temporary. The insidiousness of the War on Poverty was that it was, in point of fact, a War FOR Poverty. Within one generation, the government subsidized sloth and bastardy, destroyed the family and the work ethic and substituted Uncle Sugar as the parent. When you destroy the family - specifically removing the father from the scene - you target subsequent generations for termination, specifically young males. No discipline, no one to teach right from wrong, morals, values and ethics. You breed a generation of people hateful and resentful of their situation. And then the hustlers and the vampires like Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Ibram X. Krement, Rustoleum Hannah-Jones and the Democrat Party channel that hatred - at America as founded. Let me be clear. Blacks in this country most certainly have gotten the shit end of the stick for a few hundred years. But so has every other ethnic minority group. And yet what have they and blacks done, at least until 1965 or so? The took their lumps, figurative and many times literal, and worked their asses out from under and got ahead. And it cannot be emphasized and underscored often and loudly enough: Whatever oppression and abuse blacks have suffered in this country was at the hands of and caused by Democrats and Leftists. I'm going off on tangents but there you have it. There is absolutely no excuse for what Darrel Brooks did. But there is an explanation for it. 60 years of brainwashing. We cannot ignore it any longer because we won't be able to ignore it. At seventy years old, Willie Horton is serving multiple lifetime sentences in a Maryland prison. His case was once famous enough that we can be reasonably certain that this recidivist monster will never again be released to commit another crime. The nation is safe from Willie Horton. But the Democratic Party should not be. Thirty-three years ago, this generally unremarkable piece of detritus provided an important lesson to the American electorate. In 1974, Willie Horton and his accomplices robbed a gas station and viciously murdered its 17-year-old attendant. Convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole, he was locked up in Massachusetts for years, presumably ensuring that decent Americans would be safe from him from then on. Unfortunately, despite a sentence that clearly provided no room for misinterpretation, the soft-on-crime Democrat government of Massachusetts, under then-governor Michael Dukakis, invited Horton to participate in an unsupervised weekend furlough program in 1986. Yes, you read that right: a vicious murderer was set free for the weekend, on purpose; he didn't even have to plan a clever escape. As one would expect, Horton failed to return, and he did who knows what for almost a year, until he was finally caught in Maryland, having beaten and knifed an innocent couple, binding the man, raping his fiance, and stealing their car. . . . . . This case, better than any other at the time, clarified for even the most casual observer just how different the two parties' views were -- and remain -- on the critical issue of public safety. Fast-forward to November 21, 2021. In the tranquil suburban community of Waukesha, Wisconsin, a vicious bigot named Darrell Brooks -- free on bail with multiple pending felonies, one being his recent attempt to run over his onetime girlfriend with his SUV -- allegedly drove through a Christmas parade, running down as many innocent people as he could, killing at least five, injuring some sixty more. . . . . . Everything that happened in his adult life (and likely his youth as well) went according to Democrat rules. Released on pitifully low bail again and again, even after bail-jumping... sentenced to time served, which was often no time at all, even for felonies, even for violent assaults...free even after trying to run over his girlfriend...free to record his malevolent, violence-advocating, anti-establishment, anti-white, anti-music versions of "rap" under the name Mathboi Fly. . . . . . Republicans warn against the race-hustling, class division, and generally intolerant rhetoric of BLM, Antifa, and their pop culture mouthpieces; today's Democrats just double down on the venom, calling their foes "satanic," "evil," "oppressive," and much worse on a daily basis. Democrats attack Israel to attack Jews; they imagine something called "white privilege" and demand we apologize for it; they deny our Founding Father's great principles and accomplishments by calling them all slaveholders -- yes, even the ones who founded manumission societies. Truth means nothing to today's left if it stands in the way of their party line. . . . . . Is it any wonder that people like Darrell Brooks continue to push their luck, again and again, ever more violent, ever more destructive, ever more saturated with a level of hatred that could drive them to pick out innocent strangers from a crowd and mercilessly mow them down with a car? . . . . . . If Willie Horton was the poster child of the 1988 election, then Darrell Brooks must be all that and more in 2022 and beyond.The author makes some outstanding points and although he comes close, I think he misses a crucial difference between Willie Horton and Darrell Brooks. Unlike Willie Horton, Darrell Brooks is not merely an ultra-violent criminal and Democrats are not merely pro-crime. Darrell Brooks as loathsome as he is knew full well what he was doing and why he was doing it. While the criminal justice system and its alleged and actual disparities and shortcomings are used as a pretext to foment division, crime itself is now being used by the Democrats as an instrument of political terrorism. There can be no denying that. Look at the mass gangs of looters. Look at what happened across America in the summer of 2020 in the wake of George Floyd's demise. The anti-American left and the Democrat Party itself egged it on and cheered it on in the hopes it would redound on Trump's campaign. And now, with everything the illegitimate junta has done since January 20th crashing and burning around and on top of us, it's yet another distraction, if not an intimidation tactic. It was a miracle in more ways than one that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted, though I doubt the junta will get that message. And going way back up to the top, we come to the "ugly" portion of the program. Demonic diabetic dilettante Sonia Sotomayor spewed out absolute raw sewage yesterday during the opening arguments of the Dobbs case at SCOTUS. Mississippi Attorney General Scott Stewart challenged Roe's standard of viability: that the state does not have an interest in protecting the life of a child until 24 weeks (six months) into pregnancy. Stewart argued that babies' ability to feel pain before viability should play a role in determining whether the state should protect their lives. "I don't see how that really adds anything to the discussion, that a small fringe of doctors believe that pain could be experienced before a cortex is formed," Sotomayor said while interrupting Stewart repeatedly. In response to Stewart's assertion that babies recoil from surgical instruments at as young as 15 weeks, Sotomayor argued that braindead people, who are considered officially dead in most states, can still sometimes respond to stimuli such as being touched on the feet. "I don't think that a response by a fetus necessarily proves there's a sensation of pain or that there's consciousness," she said.The estimable Terry Jeffrey reminds us that: Between 1973 and 2017, according to numbers published this year by the Guttmacher Institute, doctors killed 58,177,540 babies in the United States. The National Right to Life Educational Foundation estimates that from 1973 and 2020, the number is 62,502,904.It should be noted that before Roe blacks were on track to becoming something like 29% of the US population by the year 2000. As it is now, they are at 17% and falling. UPDATE: CBD informs me that blacks are actually at 12% of the population. Someone ought to send an SUV-sized Candygram to Justice Sotomayor - and a giant wake-up call to black folks like Darrell Brooks. Because if black lives really and truly mattered...

Good morning y'all
To clarify, for those who have wondered, the Pfizer-BIONTech booster shot is no different from the first two shots of the primary series. Same preparation, same dose. Just a reminder to the immune system, if you will. Not a different preparation. Pfizer is working on tweaks to the mRNA content of the vaccine that in theory could provide better immune response against emerging variants. Those tweaks, since they would be a different substance, would require separate FDA approval. My guess is that the FDA would give expedited approval under the Comirnaty trade name, with only limited safety trials. According to Pfizer's website they began clinical trials on Beta and Delta variants in August 2021. I am sure Omicron will follow in due course. This will eventually mimic the approval of influenza vaccines, which are formulated each year based on best estimate of the strains that will be prevalent in the upcoming flu season, but do not have to get separate approval.

Yeah, no amount of money, $25 Trillion or otherwise, spent on "poverty" does shit for the mentally ill.
At the same time the money was being spent, the actual mental hospitals where lunatics like this should be were shutdown and the lunatics were all discharged onto the streets. That is the "resources" I think she's referring to. Of course, that assumes that his problem is an ACTUAL mental illness, rather than a condition that was ingrained in him by the school system, and other institutions in the black community, which I think is about 100% more likely. His mother simply mistakes his sane, but evil take on life, taught to him for 2+ decades, for "mental illness" Posted by: deadrody at December 02, 2021 08:02 AM (/jrmI) Posted by: sock_rat_eez (ahosz) at December 02, 2021 08:02 AM (ahosz) 37

Brooks to me sounds like a, in laymen terms, socio or psychopath. They tend to spend their lives in an out of trouble blaming everything except themselves for their trouble. This is an area traditional mental health treatments really struggle. Read the "Mask of Sanity" for a very in-depth look at this. Note this book was from the days when it was easy to get a 30 day psych-hold done on a person, now days 3-days is tough. Basic diagnosis at the time was that a person was a crazy-ass-dipstick but there was no known mental illness to blame it on. If the family had money they cycled in and out of psych hospitals, if not jail.

++++ Yup. It is worst for the black population, but no one is immune to the destruction of the family. The destruction of the family is the most perfidious policy the Left has ever undertaken, and it is universal. In 1965, the black illegitimacy rate was around 25% and this was widely seen - accurately - as an abject disaster. Today, white illegitimacy is higher than that, and black illegitimacy has seen a tripling. The corrosive combination of family law changes, welfare structure and social changes have ruined marriage and the family structure.

It should be noted that before Roe blacks were on track to becoming something like 29% of the US population by the year 2000. As it is now, they are at 17% and falling.
++++ There is a huge variable missing in that, and that is Latino immigration. Speaking of bad law from the middle of the last century, the effects of the immigration act cannot be dismissed as a factor in this. In 2020 the "white, non-Hispanic" population was around 59%, while "black, non-hispanic" was around 12%. Hispanics of all racial groups were around 19%. It gets more interesting when you look at live births. Whites had just around 51% of live births, while blacks had about 14.5% and hispanics around 24%. Abortion didn't help any and certainly hurt black populations when we look at abortion demography, but it alone does not explain the collapse in black population as a relative size in the overall mix. We have replaced the blacks - and a whole lot of whites - with hispanics, and those hispanics have a dramatically higher birth rate than either of the legacy races. Whether that birth rate holds up in the welfare/abortion/divorce complex that has ruined the American family remains to be seen.

The abortion issue is two big questions in one: When does infanticide begin? Who gets to decide?
Because of Roe, the second is now a state rights' issue. Should SCOTUS continue to be the arbiter? Notice the father isn't involved in any of this. Posted by: Ignoramus Yes he is.

Posted by: 7man at December 02, 2021 08:09 AM (qwO6y) ++++ This is common. There is something to it, too. American society has elevated "family dysfunction" as a major - if not the major - social ideal. Family dysfunction is where it's at. We subsidize, optimize and maximize it. Which doesn't make the argument any less bullshit. If you are pissed off about your dysfunctional family, angry, embittered, betrayed, resentful and everything else and want to lash out, run for office and work to reverse abortion rules and every family law change since Reagan first implemented no-fault divorce in California.

Leftist social engineering is brilliant. Breed resentment and destroy any and all social anchors along with the family, then exploit and encourage base hatred to channel resentment and violence away from the engineers and toward random members of irrelevant groups.

"This sort of thing is metastasizing like a cancer underneath the surface around the country," ***** No sh!t. Talking to our daughter yesterday she told us of our grandsons' schools (one middle, one high school) in a small rural Colorado town have groups of aggressive yoots of various sexual and gender identities (trans, gay, etc) who actively bully the straight kids with no fear of consequences. The music teacher hired a couple of years ago as a man is on his way to transitioning to a pretend woman, without consequences. This teacher is the sponsor for an after school LGBT student "club" and is actively recruiting/grooming students, without consequences. Metastatic cancer, indeed.

Posted by: 18-1 at December 02, 2021 08:21 AM (ESjRY) ++++ This was - and is - standard globalist theory and a major support member in the "free trade, even if asymmetrical" regime. I even fell for it. It sounded good on paper. The basic distillation of the theory is "they become rich and liberal before we become poor and oppressed" and that in turn is based on the thesis that rich people make poor slaves and with wealth comes liberalization as a natural consequence. The theory is wrong. Liberal, free societies become wealthy, not the other way around. By the time people really started to realize this, they all shut up about it because there was too much money and power at stake in places like Red China. We built the Chinese economy at the direct expense of the American economy, especially American industry, and we have done nothing but lose. They didn't liberalize much, and we got poor and oppressed. Their theories are wrong. They mistook cause and effect, and then kept doubling down to protect their positions.

What I think is that she's a typical modern person who is wholly incapable of dealing with true rage and anger. It's fairly typical to see a parent see outbursts of raw emotion, and instead of treating the pain as a rich burst of human experience and acknowledging that no one fully knows the answers, the parent ships the child away to "experts," many of whom are hacks who are well-paid to do nothing more than spout the company/government lines.

After his takeover of his father's business, but well before he was a big shot (the major reincorporation of his businesses happened in 1981). What is interesting, though, is that would be the year after - 1973 - that the US government sued Trump over alleged racial discrimination in NYC rents, and the year before that suit settled. The timeline is interesting. Let's assume the allegation is true that Trump was introduced to Epstein and he tried to entice Trump with a teeny-bopper Ghislane but Trump demurred.

Here's a, maybe not so dirty, little secret behind the Left's increasingly frantic attempts to push All Abortion, All The Time: the abortion industry has been on the rocks for years and a LOT of freestanding abortion clinics have closed, not just because of restrictive laws or pushback from pro-lifers, but due to lack of demand.
The number of surgical abortions being performed annually peaked around 1990 or so at 1.3 million; it's now down to, I think, around 600,000 a year (which is still too many). One big reason for this being that women of the Baby Boom generation (the ones who really, ahem, "benefitted" from Roe the most) and much of Gen X are now past childbearing age and there are simply fewer women getting pregnant. Plus the widespread use of ultrasound made it increasingly harder to argue that a fetus was "just a blob of tissue". A lot of what we are seeing IMO is simply an attempt to bail out a failing abortion industry. Posted by: Secret Square at December 02, 2021 08:39 AM (9WuX0) 137

Thanks again to MLII for re-posting this in the Tech thread.
Willowed from ONT: 661 Not such cheery news here, I'm afraid. Last week I began experiencing an excruciating headache. Finally got so bad that I drove myself to the VA ER. the right thing to do, it seems. They immediately ran a CAT scan. Turns out it was a brain bleed, a subdural hematoma.

Posted by: sock_rat_eez (ahosz) at December 02, 2021 08:37 AM (ahosz) ++++ Right. What I find interesting about the timeline is that it was very near the beginning of Trump's rise. He wasn't a big shot yet, but the real potential was there. I would have assumed the entrapment would happen later - early 80s, probably - when he had real wealth and power to bring to the table. If they move that early, then they probably have many thousands of marks, most of whom didn't pan out but who were also cheap gambles - casting a wide net, so to speak. It also adds some interesting subtext to Bill Barr's dad's sci-fi book that essentially laid out the child sex schemes of the ruling class. That book was also way too early for what we're seeing today, which means it was either aspirational (this is what we'll build) or that folks like Epstein are the second (or third or fourth) generation running the playbook. I increasingly think it's the latter. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at December 02, 2021 08:44 AM (DU+/6) 160

Even CNN is doing better than that. Their headline is "Accuser testifies Jeffrey Epstein brought her to meet Donald Trump when she was 14; no wrongdoing alleged" compared to Fox's "Ghislaine Maxwell trial: First accuser says Epstein introduced her to Trump at age 14" I'm guessing that none of us here are still under the illusion that Fox News is somehow "on our side", but this is still further confirmation if anyone needs it.

I'd agree the abortion industry is not what it once was, but I think another reason there's fewer abortions now is the social construct of young people... specifically late teenagers and those in their 20's. If you look at a spread of these.... er, people? you'll note that most of them are not having traditional sex.

I remember there are accusations that Ghislane's dad, who was a spy, was molesting her and she killed him in response later as an adult. Based on the way he died he was almost certainly murdered either by someone close to him or an agency. Still, the pedo angle seems more recent. Based on what we know of past sex scandals in the west it was generally with young, though adult, women. Look at JFK or the Profumo affair. Posted by: 18-1 at December 02, 2021 08:53 AM (ESjRY) 195

Kanter and his family have been risking their lives, literally, for years standing up to Erdogan and condemning his dictatorial abuses.

I do too. He's sees opportunity and gets ahead of it. When the feds decided to cut back on NASA and shooting rockets it didn't mean we didn't need rockets. It meant the government wasn't going to do them directly but the demand greater than ever. We are putting up satellites like chiclets. Same with electric cars and solar energy. There is no bigger market maker than governments and when they put an emphasis on growing a market getting in front of it can be very profitable. He's obviously very smart but knowing where government is making investments or making whole new markets is the real genius. It's not like Musk is designing all the cars and rockets himself.

____________________ It's based on the right to privacy, a right never mentioned in the constitution. And because the right to privacy is not included in the constitution, you have to search diligently among the various emanations from the secret penumbras to find it, and the other implied rights (like abortion) that emanate from it.

I've long though that Epstein was working for British intelligence based on an overview of what the politicians who were his clients were doing in office - Bill Clinton and George Mitchell were slavishly devoted to whatever Britain wanted them to do.
Ghislane's dad is tied to them too, and obviously American intelligence is likely to cover up/work with them on this type of op as well. ---- Ghislane's dad was an Israeli spy and celebrated hero. He stole over 400 million dollars from the Daily Mirror pension fund and was celebrated for that fact by the Israelis.Ehud Barak was a frequent visitor to Epstein's. Epstein and "Maxwell" targeted European and European- American children to rape and torture so I'm not sure why you would think they had any positive relationships with a European governement.I don't know if you are trying to be funny by your astounding obtuseness or you really are this fucking dumb.

Choosing "the best" people presupposes that you can know what the "best" actually is, and that your interpretation is reality. Such notions privilege your individual perception as the source of ultimate value, and as such are effectively embodied acts of colonialism. Objectivity is an impossible notion that is used as a false definition on the subjective interpretations and opinions of the powerful as they oppress, exploit and colonize subordinate populations. "Objectively best" is a fiction, and Musk (or anyone else) is wrong to consider such antiquated and inherently racist concepts as a basis for operation.

Just spitballing here, but having known some people who transitioned from child to adult mental health services, I can kind of see where the Kenosha Killer's mom gets her story: while he was in government schools, the government supported medication and treatment. When he turned 18, Social Security pronouned him "cured".
The periodic mental health evaluations by Social Security are nuts. They look for any excuse to turn schizophrenics, etc. onto the streets as "cured". Once they are adults, they are free agents. Can't force them to take meds, can't force them into treatment unless they are a threat. Though this guy clearly was. Repeatedly. He should have been in jail or in a secure mental facility.
