The Morning Report - 1/4/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and while I'm sick to freaking death of talking about the Chinese COVID (fortified with Fauci!) there are a couple of good essays that you should look, one Above the Fold and the others at the end of the Chinese COVID section. Now, on to the main event which is the massive, sustained crime wave sweeping America's blue shit hole cities, both as an end in itself vis a vis righting the wrongs of an allegedly unfair white supremacist criminal justice system and as a means to accelerate societal upheaval resulting in the imposition of draconian measures to restore order and safety. Yes, I did say we weren't going to cover the Chinese COVID today.

During the orgy of anarchy following the death of George Floyd, cops were shot and assaulted. In many cities, their vehicles and station houses were firebombed. Monuments to America's great men were defaced and defiled. The push to defund police gained significant support. All the while, the elite remained either silent or provided aid and comfort to the BLM movement and the streets were filled with guilt-ridden whites offering obeisance for their many sins.
The American elite spent 2020 yammering about a racial reckoning while sacralizing the violence of Black Lives Matter in the name of "diversity," "inclusion," and "equity." Perhaps this assuaged the guilt of self-hating whites, but it did not improve the lives of blacks. According to the Washington Post, police killed 14 unarmed black men in 2020. Heather Mac Donald writes that in 2021, four unarmed blacks were killed by officers, while 26 officers were killed by black suspects.
Meanwhile, there were more than 600 riots in 220 American cities between May and September, 2020. How many thousands of blacks were killed in 2020 as a result of the national freakout over race and the violence it spawned? The American elite fomented a revolution for the purpose of unseating a president they perceived as a threat -- real or imagined. The violence they spawned continues to spiral out of control. One hopes that they won't avoid the Reign of Terror they have unleashed on the rest of America.

The author nails what the 2020 mayhem in the wake of the demise of George Floyd was all about, but the "national freakout over race" didn't suddenly happen that summer. The roots of this garbage go way way back. I lived through the insanity of the 1960s as well as the flare ups of Crown Heights and then Rodney King. The racism and bigotry that marginalized blacks and minorities for sure was a real thing and it was instigated, promoted and even made into law by Democrats (see: Plessy v. Ferguson). In the wake of World War 2, the civil rights movement and the natural evolution of social progress was gradually moving black Americans into the mainstream, socially, culturally and economically. The combination of Democrats losing their biggest constituency plus the degeneration of our culture at the start of the 60s led that political party to "put y'all back in chains." Black "culture" as well as the usual suspects in academia fomented and inculcated the message that a) blacks could never be equal or get ahead and b) those who wanted to become like Clarence Thomas or Ben Carson were savaged as inauthentic, sell-outs and Uncle Toms.

Legitimate accusations over the years of racism and intimidation by cops in black neighborhoods cannot and should not be dismissed. But the crime statistics over the past 6 decades showing exactly who is killing whom puts paid the myth of a racist, white supremacist society with a criminal justice system rigged to keep black people down. Then again, maybe it is rigged - by Democrats to further foment the myth of racism to keep blacks on the Democrat plantation, but I digress.

Considering the attitude of police vis a vis lockdown enforcement as well as the well documented, infamous corruption in places like New York, New Orleans and elsewhere - and to Psaki Psircle back to January 6, the cold blooded murder of Ashli Babbit and Roseanne Boyland by the DCPD - I have learned to no longer reflexively regard every cop I see as Officer Joe Bolton. The problem is that for every David Dorn out there, there is at least one Michael Byrd, if not more. All of these issues, while crucial and worthy of their own posts, get into the weeds of the broader point; the decriminalization of crime as an intentional means of societal dissolution. All of these cities are run and have been run by Democrats, in some cases for generations. That includes Democrat DAs and police commissioners and chiefs hired by same. And as Democrats have gone from merely liberal to bust-out Marxist, many of those DAs have been bought and paid for by everyone's favorite Hungarian-born Nazi collaborator.

In November 2017, journalist Matthew Vadum reported that Soros had been busy pushing to elect extremist district attorneys (DAs) across the country in order to weaken law enforcement and protect lawless sanctuary cities. Specifically, Soros was pouring money into local elections nationwide because he supported local efforts to: resist the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); empty prisons; coddle the prisoners who remained; scale back drug prosecutions; lower bail requirements; and eliminate alleged racial disparities in sentencing, among other things. Soros's aim was to get people who shared his worldview into public office at every level, including that of local district attorneys.
According to a Daily Signal analysis, in the 2016 election cycle Soros spent almost $11 million on 12 DA races. Democrat candidates backed by Soros ended up winning in 10 of those dozen contests. One of the 10 victors was a woman named Kim Ogg. Soros associates developed her television ads, and with $878,000 from Soros's custom-made PAC, Ogg defeated the incumbent GOP office-holder, Devon Anderson, in the general election. Ogg's approach to law-enforcement was made plain in a late 2016 Daily Signal article that stated: "On Jan. 1, Ogg will begin to try fulfilling the vision she ran on, promising a 'significant culture change' defined by taking a more lenient approach to marijuana possession cases, focusing tax dollars on punishing violent criminals, and making it easier for defendants to get out of jail on bond in a county where 70 percent of inmates cannot afford to free themselves before trial."
The following year, 2017, Soros's backing helped elect radical leftist Lawrence (Larry) Krasner, a Democrat, as Philadelphia DA. Before winning the general election, Krasner beat seven other candidates in the primary. According to the Washington Free Beacon: "Krasner, who has represented Occupy Philadelphia and Black Lives Matter, and has sued the police department more than 75 times, had a major fundraising advantage that was provided almost exclusively by Soros." On the campaign trail, Krasner promised never to seek the death penalty in any criminal case and to keep Philadelphia a lawless sanctuary city. A segment of his platform titled "Resist the Trump Administration" spelled out his plan to "protect immigrants," "reject the drug war," and "stand up to police misconduct." "As District Attorney, he will work to maintain Philadelphia as a 'sanctuary city' and protect the Fourth Amendment rights of all residents, cooperating with federal authorities only to the degree required by law," said his campaign website. "Because legal proceedings can affect the status of immigrants and therefore relations between communities and law enforcement, Larry will take those effects into account when making prosecutorial decisions and setting prosecutorial policy. He will oppose renewal of ICE's access to the PARS database, a city police database used by ICE to identify 'deportable' immigrants."
In April 2017, Soros gave $1.45 million to the Philadelphia Justice and Public Safety PAC, which was created to support Krasner and listed its address as the Democrat law firm Perkins Coie in the nation's capital. Soros threw another $214,000 the super PAC's way in May, bringing his pro-Krasner donations to $1.7 million, "an unusual[ly] high [amount] for the average district attorney race." It was also the first time a PAC had ever backed a candidate for Philly DA. . .
The Soros modus operandi is the same in almost every locality, reported the Beacon: "The financier will establish political action committees, pour money into local races, then turn around and shut them down once the election is over."

That was excerpted from the invaluable Discover The Networks. I highly recommend you bookmark and refer to it because it is a veritable who's who of our enemies. The entire rap sheet for this fiend encompasses almost a small book. That said, George Soros alone is not responsible for this happening. He's a big player for sure, but he's not alone and that too is for another time. As I alluded to at the beginning, this is not just about righting a perceived wrong; this is about societal dissolution and the wresting of absolute power once and for all. If Chinese COVID is a sucker punch, then this is a hob-nailed Hugo Boss jackboot to the head and groin. All of this said, it is a miracle that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted. Even so, I draw your attention to Michelle Malkin's piece about one Steve Baca who is fighting for his life for daring to rescue someone from being stomped to death by an Antifa thug. Rittenhouse, Baca and other decent Americans who have the gall to defend themselves from these political terrorists are to be wiped out. You talk about an unjust criminal justice system. Look at these cases and the scores of folks still rotting away in the Garland Archipelago.

It should also be noted that as evil as Soros and his ilk are, they could not have gotten where they are were it not for the fact that at least 3 generations (and counting) of American and western youth have been brainwashed into thinking just like him regarding their heritage, nation, culture and society. Mission number one has got to be to get your kids away from the schools and the social(ist) media. Maybe that's the silver lining of the lockdowns.

11 Marxists in this country have been using police brutality against blacks as their rallying cry since the Springfield riots of 1908. It was this event that spurred the forming of the NAACP who immediately after formation decided the root of all evil was white cops... despite the fact that white cops protected the two accused black men (separate cases) from the mob so that they could get them to trial. IIRC, one was convicted of his crime and the other was acquitted.

It isn't really a revelation, it just gives most people a term to use to describe what they are seeing.

Sometimes identifying something means "Aha! Now that I know what it is, I know how to cure it." Other times its just labeling the anomaly.

Mass psychosis was used to describe the rise of the state in WW2 Germany. What was the cure? IIRC, bombs and tanks. I'm not sure there is an easy out of our current plight. Labeling it does give us a term to discuss it with friends and neighbors, though.

26 >> It isn't really a revelation, it just gives most people a term to use to describe what they are seeing.

Mass formation psychosis is a term used by Mattais Desmet to describe this. Malone is just using his term. Look up Desmet, he describes this well.

That goes along with the work of others, such as Joost Merloo, who coined the term "menticide". Merloo's work was looking at how the hell did the German population of the '30s go "barking mad" to use Malone's description.

When you become familiar with their work, you see that's exactly what's going on here with the Covid madness. The script is being followed to a 'T'.

You've got to appreciate that this mass psychosis is real, clinical psychosis, not just a figurative, metaphorical usage. From Merloo, you get a rough 30-40-30 split. 30% become Koolaid drinkers, 40% are the "go along to get along", and the other 30% will resist.

The first 30%, the true believers, are indeed clinically psychotic. Delusional. They are not going to listen to reason. They can't. They are bat-shit crazy.

Is there any research into these fake "boosters" at all? There's no way the whole mRNA material from the first shots simply goes away from your body, and the more people jab themselves with these things, the more likely the mRNA is going to congregate in body parts where it's not welcome (think heart attacks and the like).

If I'm not totally mistaken, the active ingredient of the thing (mRNA + whatever carrier proteins it may be bound to) does get metabolized fairly quickly. It's the tailored spike proteins that your mitochondria create in the process at the instruction of the foreign mRNA that hang around longer, causing the negative effects.

"Zero COVID" is an insanely stupid policy position. Just like highway departments with "zero traffic deaths this year" goals are unachievable, so is "Zero COVID." Anyone taking an all-or-nothing policy position is either insane or stupid or sinister (or the power of and is involved). If anyone's trying to sell you zero or 100, run away. Fast.

Talk about missing the point. Yes, TikTok (and other social media) is distracting and giant time vacuum. Yes, TikTok is foreign but not all social media is. Facebook and Twitter might be "American" companies, but they do the same thing from the productivity drain and distraction standpoints.

TikTok is not special in this regard. Where it is special is its specific targeting of youth and its moral cesspool functions. TikTok is corrosive and the networks seem to be particularly targeted at young women and girls. That OnlyFans pipeline needs to be filled somehow.

Looking at social media generally - and things like TikTok and Snapchat specifically - and coming to the conclusion of "this is too distracting for young people" strikes me as obliviousness.

This was more or less my take on it. Not for traffic as much as everything (I did little driving in Boston). In New York, people are gruff because they're in a hurry. The rudeness is incidental, not essential.

I once needed help in both cities to find a subway station. Asking a guy on the street in NY for directions, I got them. Quickly, with no effort at politeness or confirmation that I understood. Just barked instructions and a hand wave in the right direction. In Boston, though, no fewer than three people stopped what they were doing, looked me right in the eye, and told me to go fuck myself.

And stupid people are blaming Youngkin, who isn't in charge til Jan 15 - double sigh...

I doubt that. As we know from the documentary "Iron Sky," the Germans built a moon base back in the War in the 40s and have sometimes returned to Earth to keep tabs on stuff as it develops down here. If any of them have come and returned in the past two years, they probably have the 'Rona.

Funny how people can have such different experiences in cities. I was in Boston in June of 2013 for the Stanley Cup Final Game 6 (CHI-BOS). I noticed the bad traffic, but didn't think much of it, since I was used to that stuff from growing up in Chicago and living in Detroit area for most of my adult life. And my brother and I had good experiences with people in Boston in our day+ we spent there.

My brother brought with him a replica Stanley Cup, but was told he could not bring it into the arena. They suggested asking a local bar near the arena if they would hold it for him until after the game. He did and they did. After the game, when we went to the bar to pick it up, I got to talking with some guys outside the bar about the game and they were all cordial and friendly (and drunk).

Can you imagine the public reaction if it was true? That Betty White survived 99 years, but was killed only weeks before her 100th birthday by a "COVID vaccine booster"?

I read that she had basically not left her home during the Plandemic. So when I read the "died within 3 days of booster" thing, I thought it could be true, because I would imagine they wanted to "protect" her during her birthday celebration. Considering Betty White seems to be univerally loved across all demographics and political sides, would be interesting to see the public reaction if it turned out true that the "booster" led to her death.

Is there any sort of documentation that may be available to the life insurance adjuster as to a person's Vaxx status?

Without it, there is going to be a huge reliance on statisticians to tease out these details - and that can be easily hidden and obfuscated to frustrate the actuaries.

An unknown silver lining regarding the unconstitutional Vaxx Passport is that there is a record of those who have been vaxecuted, and the dates and lot number of the poisonings.

After 10 days from when? Because I have read that people are not considered "vaccinated" until 14 days after the shot/booster. So if that 10 days starts after the shot, that means that from day 11 to day 13, any death would be an "unvaxxinated COVID death" and day 14 forward is a "vaxxinated COVID death".

I would argue that the only difference between the two is at least during Hitler's time, his actions were considered evil by the majority of the Western world.

198 while it's PROBABLY true that she didn't get the booster, regarding ANY death that follows a potential recent vaxx, i'm under the assumption they're lying about the shot not happening. they have most certainly proven they lie about the obvious things that WOULDN'T get them in trouble, so it's simple to believe they lie about something like this...
______________

I have no idea when/if she got vaccines or boosters, but from what I've read, it appears that the people close to her knew that she was dying. She didn't just suddenly keel over and drop dead.

According to one article, Betty's assistant had texted Betty's friend Carol Burnett that Betty had said "Allen" (presumably referring to her dead husband Allen Ludden) just before she died. So it appears that there were people around the bed, watching as she died. I don't know who was there besides the assistant. I assume family members were called when the people in the house realized that death was imminent, because that's usually what happens.

Watched Purdue men's basketball game last night. Looked like 90% of people at Mackey Arena were masked up. A good look at how the Plandemic madness has not ended is watching pro and college sports, especially indoor sports. I thought Indiana was a red state and would not have stupid policies still in place. But maybe this is a case of colleges and universities enacting their own policies.

Sure enough: Headed to Mackey? Officials remind you to please wear your mask

https://bit.ly/3ESFrgq

"To help protect yourself and the chance to enjoy an exciting basketball season, Purdue Athletics encourages all eligible recipients to receive a vaccination and the subsequent booster.

"We will continue to monitor the environment and are prepared to make appropriate adjustments as necessary. In the meantime, please be reminded that the Protect Purdue pledge requires facial coverings in all indoor Purdue facilities, including Mackey Arena, and that if you are not feeling well or have any symptoms, you should stay home."

214 Wasn't there a life insurance CEO who commented on the fact that death rates have jumped by 40% within the range of age of the working class in the past year?

He added that a three sigma increase in a one in 200 year event would bump the number of deaths by 10%.
Posted by: Reuben Hick at January 04, 2022 08:31 AM (+LCoQ)

While a 40% increase is pretty large, the 3-sigma/1 in 200 years thing is probably just because of bad modeling. The Spanish flu was around 100 years ago. In general, models(probability distributions derived from recent history used to predict the likelihood of events) tend to underestimate "tail risk". A comparison to the historical record would be more informative.

==========

Probably going to be easily replaced by another Democrat. Safe retirements don't mean a whole lot. They may not like the idea of at least two years in the minority, but that doesn't have a whole lot to do with their own situation on the gravy train.

It's retirements of representatives facing tough re-elections that mean something.

Nah.

Yep, Michigan Dept of HHS has been putting out radio commercials warning about the flu and the importance of getting a flu shot for weeks.

This, after 2 years of "there's no more flu! COVID killed it! That's the reason why we went from tens of millions of influenza cases per year to near zero during the Plandemic the last 2 years!"

Yeah. Whatever. Now that omicron is mild and basically a common cold, they have to come up with something else to keep the scam Plandemic going. They're never going to let this end. Viruses and diseases are always circulating the world. Which allows them to use each of them to continue the Plandemic. We never freaked out about viruses -- to the extent of the policies enacted for the Plandemic -- prior to March 2020.

All of these treatments probably helped but the cold hard truth is that the two factors that actually matter are 1) age and 2) obesity.

Developed nations are older and heavier, for the most part. Japan and some other Asian countries are the exception.

lots of factors involved but obesity is a big fat one.

The big thing about the Republican retirements in 2018 was the timing and the districts. They were mostly late and in districts where Democrats had a shot.

We're seeing some of the safe district retirements so far in 2022 (there was one central Florida Democrat who will most likely get replaced by a Republican), but it's still early. Republicans are pretty much guaranteed the House by the end of the year, it's really only a question of how much, and that has everything to do with the very narrow House majority.

The interesting thing about this Plandemic is, if COVID was engineered and deliberately released to kill off a certain % of the population, it is killing off exactly the people that are most problematic for governments: the old and immunocompromised. In other words, the people who put the most stress on the "healthcare" industry and cost governments the most money for "healthcare".

But the strange part is the next step... "vaccines". Sure, it makes sense, because it's a massive money maker. And it ushers in The Great Reset with "vaccine passports". But the "vaccines" also weaken people's immune systems, even the healthy. On one hand, this is beneficial to make money, because now millions upon millions otherwise healthy people will now be getting sick and need to buy drugs for that. On the other hand, this ends up a stress on the "healthcare" system too, I think.

Not just conflating COVID and flu, but the PCR tests also could come up with false positives depending on how the test was conducted. I don't understand the science completely, but from what I think I understand, there is a way to cycle (?) the test to where pretty much every time you cycle it that way, it will come up positive result for something. So in addition to positive results for influenza and calling that "COVID+", there have likely been millions upon millions of false positive results, because of how the test was performed.

All done on purpose, in my opinion, to push the Plandemic and WEF goals.

Essentially, the PCR process is an amplification process. You tag what you're interested in and then amplify some number of cycles to look for a match. The more you amplify, the more you degrade (more noise, less signal) and the more likely something will match, though with lower reliability. You can get any outcome you want with enough cycles.

The cycle count problems are a whole different story and problem. Even if the cycle counts were never too high (they were) and even if PCR is useful for testing in the wild outside of a laboratory (it may not be), the conflation problem is catastrophic.

Yeah, it's a good analogy. The problem with any amplification system is over driving it. You've likely experienced this in your car. Turn on the radio to a marginal station and you'll hear it but with a lot of noise. So you turn up the volume to hear it better, but you can't - the noise just gets worse and it's even harder to hear.

When you amplify, you make noise worse. Good amplifiers mitigate that to a large degree, but it's always there. PCR has essentially the same problem, though for wildly different reasons. The more times you turn the crank, the more noise you get. After a certain number of cycles, the signal:noise ratio falls apart and you get a noisy, low-quality result with little clarity.

Yes, I have read about that. Also have read that the reason they're pushing for FDA approval for "vaccines" for children is because if vaccines are approved for children, then the drug companies' liability risk is eliminated, even for adults. So they're going to end up killing children with "vaccines" solely to remove their liablity for killing adults.

Seems like he should have and this is just one thing that has troubled me.

388 Sheesh, more CNN pedophilia stories. You have to wonder why Discovery Channel has any interest in buying CNN.

They're not buying CNN specifically, they're taking Time Warner off of AT&T's hands, which CNN is part of.

Which, of course, means they are buying CNN (as I said). In buying a portfolio of assets, as they are doing, Discovery could easily exclude CNN, and let ATT sell it separately or close it down. They chose not to do so, thinking they could turn it around. Maybe they can, but the pedo stories are going to follow the asset.

So very sorry, I lost a cousin of that age and it was devastating for her mother. Keep her close.

394 "Here's a decent rule of thumb: the machine that needs raging against is the one that rages back when you try to break it. The truth is that challenging the gender binary will earn you glamor and plaudits, whereas questioning 'anti-racist' diversity oaths or deadnaming Larry Wachowski will earn you public shaming and threats of unemployment."

Nice.

I checked the dates years ago and Marx cribbed it from Freud. Changed it just a little but it was Freud's work.

396 372 Nancy Pelosi schedules Prayer Vigil at Capitol to mark Jan 6 Anniversary.

I'm reminded of the Revolutionary French 'Festival of the Supreme Being'...

397 Hell, Van Jones was on CNN on election night in 2016 where he screamed about race and racism at the election of Trump being a "whitelash" against the first black president. These people have but one tune, and they play it enthusiastically.

In a way, he was right. Some people - not enough, and not just whites - were put off by the arrant racism of the Obama DOJ.

398 Deep South here, the crime wave is out here in the sticks too, but out here it's meth and fentanyl, White, homeless addicts who roam the county roads at night collecting plain old rocks they think are arrowheads and large boulders they think are made of gold. Stealing what they can steal.
They steal bicycles and New years eve one showed up in my back yard with a gun riding a new girls mountain bike, towing a bicycle trailer and inside was a 100 lb boulder he thought had gold in it. The Sheriff is so undermanned he has two deputies who are on patrol to cover the entire county.
He asked, "Do you own a gun?" I said "Yes." he said "you have the right to defend yourself if you think you are in danger."

399 "372.Nancy Pelosi schedules Prayer Vigil at Capitol to mark Jan 6 Anniversary."

What, is she going to sacrifice infants to Moloch right out in public? That's likely to excite comment even in D.C.
