The Morning Report - 2/17/22

[I]f I were president-elect of the country, it's the last thing I would say. Even if I believed it, I doubt that I would put it this way. But I don't believe this anyway. Our darkest days are ahead of us? What a bleak way of looking at things. …We Americans have adapted to our problems. …Our freedom has allowed our adaptability. If disaster is coming our way, we don't just sit there and endure it. We come up with ways to avoid it, to beat it back, to overcome it, but we don't just sit there and accept it. And, as such, we don't just resign ourselves to the fact that they're living in the darkest days because we, at least to this point, still have the greatest degree of freedom of any people on earth. Now, it's under assault and under attack and we all know this. But I don't believe our darkest days are ahead of us. I never have. People have been asking, "You've always told us you'd tell us when it's time to panic. Is it time?" It's never time to panic, folks. It's never, ever gonna be time to give up on our country. It will never be time to give up on the United States. It will never be time to give up on yourself. Trust me."
There's been an ocean of ink and pixels spilled on the subject of leadership. While Rush lamented what he perceived to be [his] failure, nothing could have been further from the truth. He (and Donald Trump) effectively awakened millions of people to the rot, corruption and danger that for so long we were unaware of or, worse, refused to see. No one person, not even Rush Limbaugh can fight this fight alone, though that in no way takes away from his achievements which I believe in the fullness of time will be a key to changing the course of history for the better.
Rush Limbaugh was the voice of freedom, the voice of America. I don't know where I would be today without him and for sure I don't know where I'll be tomorrow without him either.

Good morning, kids. Thursday and one year ago today the golden EIB microphone was silenced forever. I have to wonder that knowing his demise was imminent and having a front row seat as we all did to the coup de grace of the republic with the stolen 2020 election and the aftermath, did Rush Limbaugh, of blessed memory, really still believe it wasn't time to panic? Or was he merely trying to buck us up? I don't believe he was a bullshit artist. If he were, he'd never would have built and maintained an audience of tens of millions of people, and growing larger every year, for a third of a century.

We'll never really know, but that said, I think he knew what was just over the horizon and he did sound the closest thing to an alarm bell the very day this "two weeks to flatten the curve" lie was announced. Considering everything we've been through in just over a year, had Rush Limbaugh lived you can bet everything being hurled at Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan would have been aimed at him. And when the FCC, the DoJ the J-6 Kangaroo Kommittee and the IRS put him in their crosshairs for "Mis- Dis- or Mal-information" (Jen Piss-Hockey's new moniker: Miss Dismal), you have to wonder what his first words might've been as the Pretenders' "My City Was Gone" faded out.

All things considered, I'll channel Maha-Rushie by saying maybe it's not time to panic, but maybe it's time to prepare.

Canada's Justice Minister, David Lametti, has told Trump supporters who donated to the "Freedom Convoy" to "be worried" about having their bank accounts frozen. . .
. . . "Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, they oughta be worried," responded Lametti.
Lametti also said that truckers could lose their trucking license if they participated in the protests or if their company permitted them to participate in the protest.
The justice minister's declaration comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau evoked emergency powers to quell the protests that have crippled the country in recent weeks in defiance of the government's vaccine mandates. Among the many measures that Trudeau's government would be taking, the prime minister's administration said that people who participate or donate to the protest could have their bank accounts frozen.
"This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades," Trudeau's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a press conference on Monday. "We are today serving notice if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades your corporate accounts will be frozen."

The cancerous anal wart that spouted that warning was none other than Canadian Reichsminister of Justice David Lametti. At least when Yasser Arafat addressed the UN in 1974, he had enough horse sense to carry an olive branch along with the .44 Webley. But this bald-headed, baldfaced thug did something far more stupid than merely issue a threat. By invoking the name of Donald Trump, I think he just tipped his mitt that Justin Castreau-cescu is colluding with Joey Softserve down here in the lower 48. And it's also a not so subtle warning that the next group of people to be targeted as "fomenting insurrection and funding terrorism" both here and abroad are the American people.

These mask mandates and vaccine mandates and all the garbage we have had to endure with them is bad enough. And yet most people still hunker down and try to go about their daily lives as best as they can because, unlike the professional leftist agitators who are trust-fund denizens of momma and poppa's basement, responsible American-Americans have better and more important things to do like earn a living and raise families.

Now, if a government is going to throw down a gauntlet by freezing bank accounts, seizing assets, throwing people in jail on trumped up charges (hint-hint) while ditching habeas corpus, and on and on, you are now throwing napalm on glowing embers. As Bob Dylan once intoned, "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose." Whatever my innermost thoughts on what I think these tyrants who have all but destroyed our nation, society and future should suffer, the last thing I want to see is violence. But look at what has been unleashed on us on all fronts. Even with that, all we want to do is to be left alone. Yet, the Democrat Progressive Globalist Left - the tyrants - continue to beat on us until our morale improves. We will be made to care!

When criminals are let loose to terrorize the citizenry, when political assassination or attempted assassination is excused away by the propagandists in a way that blames rape victims for dressing too provocatively, and now when the guaranteed right to protest and even petition our elected officials for redress is viewed as insurrection and terrorism, that's bad enough.

Now, we have a government in Canada and one down here a red pubic hair's breadth away from preemptively criminalizing free speech by freezing our assets, and we have got ourselves a situation. Time to panic? No. Time to prepare? You bet your ass.

++++
Perhaps colluding. Perhaps just following orders. This "emergency powers" gambit is wildly unpopular in Canada, is very likely illegal and may well result in Trudeau losing the Prime Ministership (Ministry?) when the emergency powers expire soon and must be renewed by Parliament - and Trudeau invoked it shortly after Biden told him, publicly, to "use his federal powers." There's collusion at least but it might be even worse.

We're about to find out how deep the rot is in Canada, and how suicidal the government is. A few days from now, Parliament will stop Trudeau and cancel his emergency declaration. Or they'll affirm it. Or they'll cancel it and Trudeau will keep at it anyway and force a vote of confidence. It's all up in the air. Interesting times.

Freezing bank accounts, seizing assets, subjecting dissidents to low-grade terror through press harassment and public doxxing, sabotaging heavy farm and construction equipment and then gloating about it - the list goes on. These are the actions of a police state at the inflection point. Canada has maybe two more weeks to pull back from the brink or the government will either fail or fully entrench and this becomes the new normal. The government failing is the far better outcome, though that is not as good as, say, the Parliament kicking out Trudeau and calling new elections.

The truckers forced an inflection. It is good that they did. Canadians likely need to follow it up with a general strike and do it now if they're to cause enough pain and panic to get this shit wound down quickly.

The Regulatory Branch and his own party fought against Trump each and every day. I think the reason why no one can identify who is really acting as POTUS is because each department is its own satrap, guided by a common anti-American ideology.

Now as far as who has power over the multi trillion dollar international slush fund - yes, having the Executive branch's lever of power is beneficial, yet remember even with trillions of dollars sloshing around up for grabs, Trump couldn't even get funding for a border wall. Maybe if he constructed it out of crack pipes.

Now that the banks and the government have declared war on the citizens (subjects, in Canada's case), anyone with a modicum of intelligence is going to want to have cash on hand, preferably a lot of it (enough to carry the household for a couple of months). There is probably a bank run going on. Whether the IT system outages being reported are an enemy action (foreign, probably, though possibly domestic dissidents), load-related or deliberate take-downs from the inside to prevent transfers is anyone's guess.

It would not surprise me if there's a bank run right now. I'd be pulling money out like it was going out of style, both in cash for the immediate term and to other banks - small local outfits or foreign - electronically. Anyone with more than a few grand in the bank is probably feeling nervous, and rightly so.

As to be expected, there appears to be a run on Canadian banks. Well, maybe not a full blown run, but enough people are withdrawing cash from ATMs that it is stressing the system.

Not to mention the two real, gigantic, existential problems we face in agriculture and industry, both of which are related to the supply chain: fertilizer and semiconductors. There's not enough of either. The production systems for those are broken, as is distribution.

This is going to be really bad, especially the fertilizers. There's nothing to be done now for the spring planting season. Agricultural production around the world, including here, will fall this year. This is a serious problem for everyone because America is the world's bread basket. We will survive it because we're rich and can outbid just about everyone and we produce a lot more food than we need and export a lot of it, but it is going to be hugely expensive for us and possibly famine-inducing in poorer areas. This is going to be a very bad year for food costs in the rich countries and food availability in the poor ones.

The grid is in a death spiral. Really all you can do is move to an RTO that depends less on "renewables" and still has many traditional thermals with time on their licenses.

They are all going to crash at some point - even without the introduction of BEV vehicles. I was looking at ERCOT's expansion of thermal generation and it was all in the upgrading of existing turbines. No new plants on the design board.

You can't have millions of people flooding into an RTO demanding dispatchable energy and then providing them with unicorn farts.

85 We will survive it because we're rich and can outbid just about everyone and we produce a lot more food than we need and export a lot of it, but it is going to be hugely expensive for us and possibly famine-inducing in poorer areas.

Except China and her billionaire co-conspirators have purchased huge amounts of American food production and expect to see those container ships full of food for their own people - and China has far more real tradables than the former United States.

Furthermore, not all crops are created equal. Corn that is raised for ethanol production is not the sweet corn you want on the table. Corn crops are also highly destructive to the soil and aquifers and require lots of inputs to keep the soil from becoming baren. So farmers are switching to soy - except the JIT market for seeds wasn't anticipating a massive shift, so there is a bidding war on that scarce resource.

What is happening is demonic because of the comprehensive damage it is doing.

The very fact multiple shots are needed because there is no long term "protection" should be enough for anyone anywhere in positions of power to pull back on this insanity. Yet they don't and it ratchets up daily. It's extremely creepy and highly suspect why they're pushing this so wildly, so much so that it defies explanation.

4. me me me me me me me

5. I just paid for a flight the end of March. If they drop the masks, I will not fly.
The flight is paid for but my life is worth more than the cost of the ticket.
6. Not backed up by science? Since when? Its a science fact that the virus is airborne for a time.
It's also a science fact that airplanes are a small enclosed space. It is also a science fact that having a group of people in small confined area increases the chance of a virus being passed on to someone else. It is another science fact that a mask can help reduce the chance becoming infected with the virus. So what can we conclude with all these science facts? Maybe that Paxton and Van Duyn are fucking morons?

All of this could be true. Smaller amounts (less than $7.5k or $5k) shouldn't be restricted, but apparently those smaller amounts are being delayed, too. That usually means there's a cash crunch for physical money. I encountered this in about 2013 in this country, when I closed my account a big bank to move to a credit union. I pulled out my balance, which was something like $3.5k. They had to give it to me in 50s, 20s and 10s because they were out of money.

If this is widespread, it's a problem. If it's a few urban branches, less so.

Even in the 30s there wasn't a famine. It was lean as hell and extremely expensive and production fell dramatically, but there wasn't a famine. Pulling off a famine in this country is extremely difficult, but with this much government (ours and foreign) involvement and this much economic disruption, anything is possible. I doubt it gets that far here because we can outbid others, but it may well result in famine elsewhere and I think that's a lot more likely.

That is always the fruit of totalitarianism - mass death, impoverishment and misery. ALWAYS.

Why are they permanently destroying the energy sector? Why are they deliberately starving out the global population? Why are they destroying cultures so that there is no community or sense of purpose? Why have they devastated the medical industry?

149 The letter reveals that an NIH advisor was "forced by NIH to shred notes and other documents pertaining to the WIV grants as early as 2014." An email from an individual, whose name has been redacted, to a committee staff member on November 5th, 2021 revealed the following:
"I signed a confidentiality agreement in which I agreed not to discuss any grant with anyone except with other members of the study section, and -- once the meeting was over -- that I would destroy any notes that I had taken during the meeting (we did this by tossing them in shred box in the meeting room))."

152 Even in the 30s there wasn't a famine. It was lean as hell and extremely expensive and production fell dramatically, but there wasn't a famine. Pulling off a famine in this country is extremely difficult, but with this much government (ours and foreign) involvement and this much economic disruption, anything is possible. I doubt it gets that far here because we can outbid others, but it may well result in famine elsewhere and I think that's a lot more likely.

(Putin will be more than glad to help that move, in whatever way he can; the extra money flows straight into his pockets) As oil heads to $200, costs to farm increase exponentially, and farm production will fall even more.

See the latest Berenson post on his Substack. Scotland has now stopped publishing their vaccine data. It was showing negative efficacy getting worse and worse with each week.

So, they're just going to stop publishing the data. They claim it's because the vaccines are working so well, there is no need for any further data. It's just the opposite, in fact.

Scotland and the UK in general were one of the better sources. Expect other countries to follow.

Brandt Legg's Justar Journal series explores how this might come about. In the background of the story, the world went through a pandemic in the early part of the 21st century. Is was much, much worse than COVID, but the effects were pretty similar. Significant global reduction of the population through government-managed actions ("two weeks!") that resulted in a "stable" world population around 3 billion people. No more are allowed. It's a very prophetic look at where we are today (it was written a few years ago). Oh, and ancient secret societies and conspiracies are also involved.

At the time they said 50% of the population had gotten the shot, which is about 2.5M people.

This is what the MIT data science department called for last year. The armchair statisticians, data scientists and data visualizers were making hay with public health data and showing a lot of very uncomfortable realities about the efficacy (non-efficacy) of the public health response. The visualizations were good, the analysis was solid, the statistical work was of high quality. MIT had no complaint about the quality of the work. They had a complaint about the wrongthink motivations and conclusions.

Their recommendation was to become more opaque with the data and to withhold data from the public and provide only analysis from the public health authorities to prevent the competent normals from challenging the narrative.

As to who's the most dangerous; here I had always figured that Soros and the other Tech Billionaires were behind the GeorgeFloyd/BLM movement, and of course they did bankroll it; but with the knowledge of Mark Elias' involvement, we now know it was yet another Clinton Dirty Trick campaign.

We note how the left always accuses others of what it is actually doing; now it is clear that the Clinton Machine ran a 4 year long insurrection from inside the Government, relying on their control of media. The only saving grace is that now the dog has caught the car, and they can't handle it all.

Re acoustic devices against protestors. See Jessica Rose's latest SUbstack post here:

https://tinyurl.com/yy9aj3nk

Besides the acoustic weapons, they are likely using "ADS", Active Denial Systems, which are short wavelength microwave "pain inducing" devices against the protestors. Note the photo the person with burned lips.

ADS uses 95 GHz directed microwave beams. This short wavelength doesn't penetrate the skin very deeply, and induces rapid heating in a thin outer layer of skin.

Again, Australia is actively deploying this against their own citizens.

Under the You Will Own Nothing And Be Happy system, without the accumulation of stuff, people aren't willing to do risks and will only perform to whatever level is required to earn their daily food pellet.

Why go through tortuous training and long hours to achieve when there is no upside? Why take risks? If you have no chance at benefitting from a product, why invent it?

This can only result in black markets and a society completely consumed with corruption and predatory acts to accumulate stuff from outside traditional means.

No it won't. I mean, it would probably cost at least that to do what you're describing, but what you're describing won't happen. Most gas stations won't be replaced, they'll just fade out as the government makes petroleum-powered cars and trucks illegal. There will be many fewer electric charging stations than there were gas stations. They also won't need so many, since far fewer people will have one. Add in some internal passporting and remote shutdowns to enforce "energy availability" and other such policies, and the need for charging stations is rather dramatically smaller than the need for gas stations.

251 I think Munger is right that the currency is going to zero in the next 100 years only because it has too. Only hard assets will retain value (asset prices will go up as the value of the dollar falls). I think the same is true for financial assets (stocks, bonds) but will be more volatile due to interest rates (or other investment competitors). Oddly, we get to string this out because the world still thinks the dollar is the place to be. The dollar is not worth the paper it's printed on but it's still belter than all the other currencies.
Weimar inflation was deliberate because Germany rejected its externally imposed obligation to pay war debts. Our debts are voluntary, so the process will be slower...until it's not.

NY Gov. Hochul is still fighting this, but the reality is that there hasn't been a NY Harbor for a long time. There are Port Newark, Port Elizabeth and Bayonne, all in NJ, and maybe a few cruise ships that still dock in Manhattan.

Without the Waterfront Commission NY would only lose some patronage positions. It's rather silly to claim that the NJ State Police aren't capable of keeping the mob out of our NJ ports. Especially since the Port Authority of NY&NJ Police are the primary on-the-ground force at the ports. NY would still have a say in the operation of the ports.

I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. This is the exact same problem that we have with wind farms. There is plenty of filthy government lucre to put up a windmill, but very little to help maintain it. When a windmill encounters a problem (broken blade, bearing failure, etc.), the default response is just to lock the axle to keep it from trying to turn and thus avoid the risk of a breakup. That windmill stops turning forever, and its generation leaves the grid. The really big outfits will cannibalize periodically to bring some of them back online, but maintaining a windmill is expensive and there's little subsidy for it. So just lock it down and let it rot.

He's frightened of me because of the daily oral medicine I administer, I guess.

But I can't find any information on how they intend to support the customer other than "send them an email." Lots of money from the government to create and develop products, but no real thought into long-term sustainability and maintenance. Idiots.

1. A new technology will come along that makes current battery technology obsolete. This has always happened in the past, so it will definitely happen this time, too. They just need to push and let the industrialists and engineers figure it out in time.
2. There's no way to make it work and so people just won't drive anymore and people will grumble about that but there will be no real consequences.

281 I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. This is the exact same problem that we have with wind farms. There is plenty of filthy government lucre to put up a windmill, but very little to help maintain it. When a windmill encounters a problem (broken blade, bearing failure, etc.), the default response is just to lock the axle to keep it from trying to turn and thus avoid the risk of a breakup. That windmill stops turning forever, and its generation leaves the grid. The really big outfits will cannibalize periodically to bring some of them back online, but maintaining a windmill is expensive and there's little subsidy for it. So just lock it down and let it rot.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at February 17, 2022 09:03 AM

I drove through that huge windmill farm in southern IL some years back and one in four windmills were not turning. Not sure if it was permanent or just a temporary thing but it was the same ratio when I drove back through there a couple of days later.

288 The Canadian trucker strike and a very visible source of resistance but it's not like nothing is happening here. It's just happening in a different forum. The public schools.

The left has decided to throw their weight behind their pals in the teacher's unions and the radicals who are trying to indoctrinate kids in CRT, tranny crap and the evils of America and parents, thanks largely to the lockdowns, have finally started waking up and pushing back. Getting rid of 3 school board members in San Francisco of a ll place in a landslide vote shows how widespread this effort is and that the war can be won.

I would argue this has always been the most important battlefield. We have allowed public schools to become indoctrination centers of the left for decades and shouldn't be surprised that younger generations are so open to all this idiocy. Taking back the schools is an imperative if we are going to keep this country.

But to allow even a theoretically "neutral" application of "hate speech" would suppress and ultimately destroy the ability of a free, independent people to exercise their God-given intellect, wit, curiosity and energy to argue, debate, question, hypothesize and sometimes to heap well deserved ridicule and "hatred" on individuals and groups.

It's a lot of environmental factors - the CO2 is one, but even then, your "dirtiness" to the environment depends if you actually drive enough to overcome the original very dirty battery devlopment, if you live in a grid that doesn't actually just use the same "dirty" fuels for the electric grid that would be used for gas, if your battery does not need replacing, if you normally drive a crappy gas guzzler vs a non gas guzzler, etc...

And then you get into the lower life span of the cars, making the trash and resource use up higher in electrical...and the need to now pave over land and build acres of "charging lots" b/c these happen much slower than gas fill ups. And people in townhomes, apartments, and massive community living don't have outdoor electrical outlets.

Texas figured out in about 1990 that they could take one car off the road (out of 1000 to 2000) and replace it with a new vehicle and stop about 90% of polution.

EPA denied that plan and wanted every vehicle in the 5 most populated counties tested.

So we built about 100 of these testing centers.

On they day they open, no one went. On the next day, no one went. They closed and the state had to pay back the people that built them.

The thing that really counts, in my opinion, is all-in, whole-life energy transaction. Pollution is something to be minimized, but the cornerstone of your policy needs to be efficiency over the lifecycle. Cars require enormous amounts of energy to manufacture. The ore has to be mined and the oil pumped, it all has to be transported, refined, transported again, manufactured as inputs, transported again, next manufacturing stages, more transport, final assembly, more transport, etc. - and only *then* can you even start burning fuel to drive it.

The longer you keep a car on the road, the greener it gets and the lower total energy input per mile driven. Any used car is greener than any new car. My 17 year-old V8 luxury car with 150,000 miles on it is greener than a new Corolla and greener still than a new Prius and far greener than a new Tesla. Yeah, its fuel economy is lower and its pollution is higher, but I still get to amortize that input energy over each mile and reduce the average.

We tried to use various methods of hiding oral medications and supplements in their food -- but had to monitor it and if they didn't eat or finish eating, would have to do it more forcefully with eye-droppers or by hand.

In addition to that, my poor wife had to give our two elderly sibling cats suffering from CKD subcutaneous saline fluids -- and the cats got to anticipate the times and her movements, causing them to hide. She'd have to forcibly hold each down between her legs (so they couldn't bolt and have the needle come out or cause a small wound and bleeding) while slowly petting and talking softly to them.

It was so traumatizing for her that she said if we ever get future cats, she'd rather euthanize them before it gets to that stage (I disagree, but then I wasn't the one primarily caring for them owing to work). The old quality of life vs. quantity of life debate ...

Toronto Dominion, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, and ScotiaBank all went offline at about 3 PM eastern yesterday (Feb 16) and started coming back around 6 PM.

Some people definitely demanded most if not all of their money out of their accounts, though banks here can delay you for 7 days if that's a large sum. With the Emergency Act in force, who knows how long that could be?

It remains to be seen if this develops into a full blown run on the banks or not.

I was a supporter of it. But after seeing what the state legislatures did in the wake of November 2020 by not refusing to certify the Biden electors, Article V is a complete non-starter.

Hell, America as we knew it is gone goodbye. We are being now openly lorded over by a fascistic oligarchy of government and corporations. Elections, SCOTUS et al are merely a rapidly decomposing skin suit of an illusion of normalcy.

390 Back in the 80's there was a movement to have a Constitutional Convention.
After examining the possible outcomes, it was determined that there were a handful of possible problems.

shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof

The biggest was "by conventions in three fourths". This COULD mean that the delegations to the convention could ratify changes without the legislatures, making for a possible runaway convention.

391 The left can't "rig" a constitutional convention when it is called through specific legislation that specifies the scope of the convention.

If you believe in the Bible, darker days are indeed ahead, with an eventual victory of good over evil. But no doubt: the days will get much, much darker.

And the 2nd Amendment says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", but the infringements get worse and worse. So some people, Stalin's "treaties are like pie crust; they're made to be broken" statement is their guiding principle.
