It's Thursday night again, which means that it's time for another ONT! Oregon Muse I've been an open blogger and now a COB here at AoS HQ for quite a few years now. During that time I've been privileged enough to meet many of my fellow COBs, but Oregon Muse was not on that list. He was the one person associated with this blog that I was most looking forward to meeting, and after his unfortunate passing the other day I will be forever denied that opportunity in this world. His passing leaves a great big hole not just in the blog, but also in my heart. Rest in peace and rise in glory, OM. I'll miss you.A Message From Progressivstan
Laugh Of The Day Reviewing the Internet’s Dumbest Survival Tips You have to see this to believe it. Somehow it's a “survival tip” to make a shelter out of the PVC pipe you're carrying (instead of a, gosh, what do they call those things? Oh, yeah, a “tent” along with the roll of plastic film that you also have. Then you survive by lounging around on rugs and throw pillows inside the geodesic dome you've created, waiting for rescue. Where's the Samovar? Where's the incense burner? Just about the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. The Gentleman From Italy Is Out Of Order! Italian Senate Zoom Hearing Was Bombed With A Porn Scene From Final Fantasy They say that someone hacked into their Zoom meeting, which is certainly possible, I don't know how many Zoom meetings I've had to attend where the password was “password” or some other such nonsense, but it's a lot. Still, I would say it's equally possible that someone who was in the meeting was watching Final Fantasy porn (is that a thing?) while the bureaucrats were droning on and shared their screen by mistake. Going Up Clever elevator. Damn Those Racist *Rolls*....Traffic Cameras Chicago’s “Race-Neutral” Traffic Cameras Ticket Black and Latino Drivers the Most I'll get to the problem in a moment, but first I actually want to give the article some credit. The authors did a through job of investigating the data point that they found: More tickets are sent to neighborhoods that are predominantly Black or Hispanic than White neighborhoods. I'm going to assume this is the case and move on from that assumption. They investigate things like traffic patterns and housing density, and talk about the disproportionate impact traffic fines have on lower income folks. I can believe that, someone once said that if an offense is punished by a fine, then it is in effect only a crime for poorer people, which I buy (fines have little or no impact or deterrence to those who can pay them without missing the money). I think that they have put their finger on some real issues that should be studied. But nowhere in the article do I see any attempt to demonstrate that the fines themselves are racist. It's just taken as a matter of faith that anything that happens to a Black or Hispanic person is a result of racism, without demonstrating that it is racist. Are drivers in those neighborhoods more likely to run traffic lights? The section on how urban blight affects driving patterns is interesting, and does lead to some interesting speculation in that area, but it isn't fully developed. Nowhere did I see any attempt at anything like a per-capita weighing of the data (if a White neighborhood of 100 homes receives 10 tickets, and a Black neighborhood of 1000 homes receives 100 tickets, the rate of ticketing is the same). I don't know if this is the case, but I also don't know if it isn't, and before I'm ready to cry racism I'd need to see a deeper dive into the data, one without an inborn bias towards “racism!”.

Past studies using traffic light data have shown for some time now that black people break traffic laws more often than the general public. Here's a related article from City Journal from way back in 2002 - https://bit.ly/3Ahwdtk
This is a well-known "scientific" fact, and it explains why blacks have more interactions with traffic cops than whites - because they break the law more. It also helps explain why blacks are more likely to have interactions with cops that end poorly - because there are more opportunities for bad things to happen. And why blacks might feel like they're at risk of getting busted for "driving while black." Posted by: 29Victor at January 20, 2022 10:17 PM (BJKQV) 65
Never crossed paths with redc, but nearly so. He informed me about a particular gun store of merit in my AO, he bought some things there, one day he was picking something up I actually had a shootin' match a bit further east and couldn't meet up. I did eventually get to the store, and it was as he said, a quality one.
He and Resident Evil (isn't that how he referred to his better half?) have a heck of a collection of gubs. Hope she has friends/resources to help if she wants to slim it down. Posted by: rhomboid at January 20, 2022 10:17 PM (OTzUX) 66

Thanks WD
1. In the 70s there was a push for "tough love" to counter the lefty compassion BS. 2. I agree/disagree on the fine thing. I come from a generation (I am old beyond my years) where a fine stung even if you could easily afford it without noticing. It was a rebuke, and the size of the fine should be set by societies standard, not the offenders ability to pay. I think that time is long gone though. We no longer value honor as a society. so the fine is just one more transaction. People who accept a fine as just a cost of whatever it is they are doing wrong, well they are uncivilized scum (or the law is an ass, which is usually the case anyway but not always.)

Nice podcast with JJS, CBD, and MisHum.
I kinda want to hear MisHum say "Braaatwurst". In any event, you guys were discussing the post-modern, sexual psychosis in one segment. I'd recommend The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl R. Trueman if you'd like to read a fairly complex sociological autopsy of the psychology behind the deviant sexual revolution. It's a fairly chewy read, but really is a good deep dive into the nexus of where the cultural shift began. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at January 20, 2022 10:29 PM (7F9te) 116

quote from Putin: "The advocates of so-called "social progress" believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones - all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs."

(1/2) One of the more obnoxious minor political people in Portland is a pro-Antifa guy who runs an organization called "No More Freeways" that has successfully stymied efforts to fix a bottleneck on I-5 in central Portland. Long-run, their goal is to shut down I-5 in Portland altogether. After all, I-5 runs through rich neighborhoods, and a parallel freeway a few miles to the east runs through poor neighborhoods, so drivers should obviously take the other freeway.
After all, Global Warming Is The Biggest Challenge Mankind Has Ever Faced, so we need to make everyone live in tiny apartments next to mass transit lines, so we can ban cars. When he's not inflicting millions of dollars in extra costs on society, he's a big soccer fan. But he just wrote a long, whiny letter indicating that the Portland soccer teams (men and women) may not be worthy of his support.

More evidence that the CDC and all the state level equivalents are incompetent or lying. I had been a reading some articles how it was just impossible that Moronic could've just suddenly appeared here in the US, and then basically just took over and drove Delta to extinction is oh, about week or two. Well, sewage monitoring (everybody shits, and you can detect all sorts of shit in shit, including Coof and other diseases, as well as the rates of various drug consumption and all that) reveals that Moronic was circulating in the US in Nov. 2021. Right under the CDC's nose. And the reason was it was so mild. So, well before South Africa, Moronic was everywhere in the US at least.

(2/2) He gave a bunch of reasons for this, but one in particular was "the club that consistently boasts about its sustainability bonafides continues to take a massive corporate sponsorship from 76, an oil company." Global warming and all that.
But he also notes: "I can't even begin to express the extent to which I've routed my life around supporting these teams, traveling thousands of miles (and lord, spending untold thousands of dollars) to sing for the boys in green and the girls in red. New York, Vancouver, Columbus, Atlanta, Washington DC, Minneapolis, Chicago, at least a dozen trips to Seattle" Global warming apparently isn't a problem when you are regularly flying across the country to go to a soccer game.

Just feels like things are so out of control. They wanted to use the 25th amendment to get rid of Trump when he stumbled on a ramp and impeached him 3 times but Biden can't finish a thought and tells Putin it'sokay to invade Ukraine giving a green light to China to invade Taiwan and he's okay to govern the country.

That's because they are the enemy. I know I sound like a broken record in this forum, but the "white church lady crowd" is going to enslave us all if we don't confront them. 45% of the voters voted for Hillary. 45% of the voters voted for President vegetable. This is treason-level behavior. NOBODY should be so stupidly focused on "trans rights" and other such nonsense that they would pull the figurative lever for those two fools. Yet here we are. The time for "reasonable" discourse has long passed. We're at the point where open mockery and spiteful condemnation are the only dialogue we should be involved with.

Was going to say Good Evening but it doesn;t feel that way. Anybody else feel like things are about to reach critical mass?
I did. But I don't. I was about to post a really long story about a church retreat I went to on Sunday and into Monday morning, and how I really didn't want to go. How I thought it would be stupid, and awkward, and how the weather here (snow storm) made it seem like even a worse idea. But I went anyway. And the power went out, and we ate in the dark, and there was no cell reception, and all we had for entertainment was each other and an 80 year old missionary playing a guitar that we all sang hymns too. And I figured something out. We are so busy lamenting losing what we have that we aren't busy enjoying that we have it. Go out and fill your soul with fellowship, adventure and the glory of the world. Cast off the burdens by reveling in the blessings. OM, Tami, redc.....they aren't burdened now. They are with the Almighty, and us, for now, we've got each other and family and friends and the glorious works of God. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at January 20, 2022 10:47 PM (7F9te) 205

I've been meaning to write this for a few days. I do not want DeSantis to run for president. He is in a perfect place to affect real changes. He goes to DC, and it'll be just like Trump, the deep state is out to fuck him from making any real improvements. Much like Youngkin, we would be better served by stronger governors who can tell the feds to EABOD, and make their states sanctuaries for individual freedom. I think this is where we should focus. Force a rerun to federalism, that way it won't matter as much on who occupies the White House. Food for thought.

We were talking that we have seen or heard of about 6-8 people who either dropped dead or were rendered unconscious due to OD. So our deaths are about the same as our "housed" stats.

Federalism's ship has sailed. You get to decide who's in charge of Leviathan. Maybe (if you can get an honest national election), kinda (if any guy you manage to get elected can control the vast, self-interested administrative state), sorta (if the Supreme Court deigns to condone your policy preferences as constitutional). Even where states are in the saddle, their policy is often effectively made by California and/or Texas (e.g. school textbooks).

We live in the most exceptional country on the planet, populated by an extraordinary people governed by the most unique political system in history.
If you look back through our history, you'll find we have met and prevailed over issues every bit as serious as the current mess. We sport an unbroken record of success. This battle is part of our heritage, a continuance of the effort put forth by those who preceded us to ensure the nation survives. We CANNOT let them down.

There's been some pretty entertaining maneuvering on the Texas Abortion Law. While the current SCOTUS isn't as conservative as I'd hoped it might be, they're still doing some good things, and they did one today. It's arcane and procedural, and the kind of inside baseball thing that Justices love to do.
takes a bit of explaining - the complaint against the Texas Law was originally filed (shopped to) an Obama Judge, who ruled against it. Then the 5th Circuit (conservative) overruled his stay, and the Supreme Court declined to overturn - leaving the Texas Law in place. The left wanted it to be returned to the Obama Judge for more consideration, but instead they referred it back to the 5th Circuit, and the 5th Circuit just kicked the case to the conservative Texas Supreme Court. And if the Texas Supreme Court rules that this is all a matter of State Law, the entire Federal case against it will probably be moot. Ie, dead.

Speaking of progressive cities, our little suburb spends about $2 million/year on "alleviating" homelessness. Our expert on the city council just reported we housed about six people last year. We were talking that we have seen or heard of about 6-8 people who either dropped dead or were rendered unconscious due to OD. So our deaths are about the same as our "housed" stats.

Chicago's "Race-Neutral" Traffic Cameras Ticket Black and Latino Drivers the Most
- Are drivers in those neighborhoods more likely to run traffic lights? I haven't driven at night in bad neighborhoods in Chicago since the 1980s, but back then there were certain intersections where it was better to treat a red light as a stop or yield sign than as a stop light. I wonder if this is partially what skews the amount of tickets. Posted by: Chuck C at January 20, 2022 11:55 PM (EughT) 458

"I hereby declare all ONT chatter ESSENTIAL"
but do we have to wear masks? or be jabbed? Back to the ace thing on vaxxed people that have not had covid - are safer than non-vaxxed that have not had covid. ... Maybe and maybe not. Healthy non-vaxxed maybe had exposure to previous variants of covid, (previous to covid 19) and probably had "natural immunity" ... especially those with no comorbidities. Add in the potential longer term problems, and the additive risks of constant booster jabs, and I think there is still the risk that those getting constant jabs have the higher risk, especially considering early effective treatments, and the covid becoming milder over time (but those jabbed constantly still have that risk profile to live with). Oh, and "they" are in control of most stats and constantly lie to us, and the Gates agenda long ago was killing people in Africa and India ...

Trivia question - what is the difference between an acronym and an abbreviation?
Posted by: Doof An abbreviation is anything that makes a word smaller yet still (hopefully) understandable. farmin b hrd is an abbreviation but not an acronym as is can't. Contractions are abbreviations via punctuation. Acronyms are mean to consolidate a phrase (FUBAR) or a girthy part name (SCIMOD) by employing only its first or beginning letters of the words so consolidated, although the first letter of internal syllables may be used (TNT). If an acronym is spelled out letter by letter (IRS or CIA), rather than being pronounced as a whole (SCUBA) it is pedantically correctly called an initialism.

takes a bit of explaining - the complaint against the Texas Law was originally filed (shopped to) an Obama Judge, who ruled against it. Then the 5th Circuit (conservative) overruled his stay, and the Supreme Court declined to overturn - leaving the Texas Law in place. The left wanted it to be returned to the Obama Judge for more consideration, but instead they referred it back to the 5th Circuit, and the 5th Circuit just kicked the case to the conservative Texas Supreme Court.
And if the Texas Supreme Court rules that this is all a matter of State Law, the entire Federal case against it will probably be moot. Ie, dead.

Ron DeSantis Knows the Formula to Defeat Donald Trump
_Rich Lowry, NR Look, fat, I know the formula to defeat Donald Trump. Be Trumpier. When he talks about election integrity, say "Look at the losers who stole the Presidency and what a shitshow they've made of everything." When he talks about firing Fauci, promise a special prosecutor to look into the federal government's jab-only covid policy. When he talks about the federal bureaucracy being against him, fil a campaign ad of helicopters. Lots and lots of helicopters. I suspect that's not what Lowry has in mind. That'll make for a nice bookmark to check in the (currently most likely) event Trump picks DeSantis for VP to short circuit the GOP primary.

The same birthday probability is so counter-intuitive to those not familiar with it, that makes a good betting opportunity. Anytime you're in group with more than 25 people, make a bet that two will have the same birthday. You will win more than 50% of the time, net positive. Increase the number to the 75% level and you'll clean up even more. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 12:13 AM (Mzdiz) 518

If you haven't seen this, the Bad Cat, "El Gato Malo" had a bombshell of a post today about vexxine efficacy. It's all been statistical tricks, "Bayesian data crimes" as he calls it: https://tinyurl.com/2p9cymef Another Substacker caught the govt. of Alberta, Canada, releasing some data they didn't mean to. They quickly pulled it down, but he saved it before they did. It shows the magnitude of the trick effect. It has been known for sometime that is strong immuno-suppressive effect of the vaccines for a couple weeks after a dose. This is makes it more likely you'll catch the Coof during that period. But if you do, they count that as an unvaccinated case. What the Alberta data shows is just how strong this effect is.

"A Biden family. Excuse me while I vomit."
yeah, nephew's wife has four "parents" as she states it ... two were from the university, academics I guess, which means nothing. I had hope as I thought they saw the problems with public school .. and she didn't want her kids to see some cartoons on TV at my house once .. bad influence or something. So how they got back to this "Biden Family" thing is a mystery, except she never left that parental influence I guess. The nephew is a doctor, his dad was a doctor ... I'd hoped he would lead them out of that bad doctrine ... seems to have gone the wrong way. Posted by: illiniwek at January 21, 2022 12:48 AM (Cus5s) 595

Made more progress on the Jeep. New pins and bushings on the driver's door hinges. Door closes nicely now. Took instrument cluster out, cleaned, and checked lamps. All the bulbs are good, but 2 or 3 needed to be reseated in their sockets to make them work. Added ground wires to gauge cluster. Put cluster back in. Gains: dash lamps now all work, and speedometer works, and right-hand signal telltale works. Losses: gas gauge doesn't work, and oil pressure gauge quit working. Tried the self-test routine on cluster, and it didn't do the self-test. Could be bad instrument cluster, or maybe a short in some module on the data bus.

I've been meaning to write this for a few days. I do not want DeSantis to run for president. He is in a perfect place to affect real changes. He goes to DC, and it'll be just like Trump, the deep state is out to fuck him from making any real improvements. Much like Youngkin, we would be better served by stronger governors who can tell the feds to EABOD, and make their states sanctuaries for individual freedom. I think this is where we should focus. Force a rerun to federalism, that way it won't matter as much on who occupies the White House. Food for thought.

Not that last one about the charger/desulfator. I've got battery chargers galore, but nothing fancy. Years ago, I have attempted "manual" desulfation -- it's basically charge the hell of it at elevated voltages -- you're mostly just electrolysizing water at that point, but are breaking down the "softer" hard sulfates. Maintaining electrolyte level and watching temperature not to let it get too hot is critical. All needs to be well ventilated.

One question; where did the people get the tickets? Did they get tickets in/around their neighborhood? Or to and from a work area or shopping area.
Because if the tickets were for in their neighborhood then there might be a case for racism as the cameras perhaps are more numerous in the hood or perhaps cause it's home territory they know more about the traffic and run the lights more often. If it's in some other location that does not have a particular race designation then that would be different. But frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn cause there are folks these days that spend all their time and grant money trying to find these sorts of things and they don't contribute on thing to our society or culture.

It has been known for sometime that is strong immuno-suppressive effect of the vaccines for a couple weeks after a dose. This is makes it more likely you'll catch the Coof during that period. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 12:34 AM If true, that explains why prior animal studies of vaccines for corona type viruses had to be terminated - because of vaccine-associated enhanced disease. A couple week setback for 'humanized' mice is - like the concept of 'dog years' - an exceptionally long, long time for a compromised immune system. This time they skipped the animal studies of the vaccine(s) and went straight to human testing. If they skipped the animal studies because they already knew what the answer would be, and there's some dissenting file or correspondence to be found somewhere, then it's time for Nuremberg 2.0 to hold some people responsible. Back to bed for me. Posted by: Traitor Joe's Military Surplus at January 21, 2022 02:08 AM (dQvv7) 693

My grandmother had an enormous last supper on velvet framed under glass hanging over the dinner table. I grabbed up the virgin mary print under glass framed in cut rose class tiles. That hangs in my bedroom.

Oh, Pharma knows what they are doing. They are very good at gaming the clinical trial process. Very, very good. This is what they do. And all they do: make their products look good in a clinical trial. They have become very clever at rigging these. They don't make mistakes, they make choices as someone put it.

>> So what's the end game?
Good question. They get away with this shit all the time. The result is they're found out (look at the Vioxx and similar debacles), they get sued, maybe fined, etc, etc. But business as usual keeps on. They get a slap on the wrist, and it's just a small cost of doing business. But this thing is so big, that model may not work this time. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 02:22 AM (Mzdiz) 700
Yeah, most people think Vioxx was was a Klingon in some Star Trek movie, but everyone knows, or is going to know, about The Jab when it goes supernova.

Posted by: USNtakim deplorable still. at January 21, 2022 02:27 AM (0OmEj) Dude was trying to get into sweet black money in germ warfare research. He even applied to DOD for a grant for Gain of Function, which leads me to think he already did the same COVID splicing on something nasty as a proof of concept. But even the spooks told him he was crazy and denied any money. This is the guy that funds useless research on torturing dogs for kicks. He hangs out in gay bathhouses during AIDs watching kids spread disease like wildfire without a sound. I know a psychopath when I see one. Posted by: Oldcat at January 21, 2022 02:33 AM (EJbIh) 705

That's good question. It's basically the mad scientist effect. You have group of experts in something well beyond the general public. They get insulated and isolated from normal thinking, working in their own bubbles. And since the subject is so arcane and obtuse to the larger public, they are pretty much left to police themselves. And they run amok. Hey, let's see if we make a monkey grow balls on its chin! Yeah, that would be cool! Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 02:35 AM (Mzdiz) 706

And its not just Pharma. Govts, healthcare, and media are all complicit in this. If Pharma goes down, they go down. They all have the incentive to deny, deny, deny. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 02:37 AM (Mzdiz) 711
This "isolated group" effect is an aspect of human nature. We all need to some social contact with "normies" to remain mentally calibrated so to speak. Get isolated too long, and the individual tends to go off the rails. This experiment has been run many times. Imagine you isolate yourself, all alone in your house. No human contact. You still watch TV, get on the internet etc. But no actual human contact. After a while, you stop caring about your physical appearance. Why worry? Nobody is going to see you. Then you even stop taking showers. You get used to your own smell. Why bother. After a couple months of that, say someone comes to visit you. They run away screaming because you look like an escapee from the insane asylum. You have no idea what's wrong.

When isolated that like, your mental state will eventually run as amok as your physical appearance. You'll slowly get to doing weird things. They won't seem weird to you. When you're in regular contact with the herd, any little weird behavior and irrational thinking gets corrected before it even gets started. But without that feedback, it does indeed get way out of hand. And that's exactly the same thing that happens with these isolated groups of experts, left to police themselves. They get to doing insane shit. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at January 21, 2022 02:48 AM (Mzdiz) 716
646 Hs? I couldn't wait to leave. Hated it with my whole soul. Didn't fit in any one group. Have not looked back. Don't have any contact with anybody from then. Strangely i live just blocks from the school. I can hear band practice from my front yard. My wife graduated from the same school three years after i did. She has no interest in anyone from then either. We did not meet in school. Twas 7 years later we never had any friends in common then. Although she knew of all three of my brothers.so i would not be at the cool kids table or even out back smoking.
Posted by: USNtakim deplorable still. at January 21, 2022 01:26 AM (0OmEj) Same, except oddly enough I still am friends with some fellow social outcasts from that time. Everyone else? Nah. Never been to a "class reunion" and never will because, well, I wasn't a part of the "class" to begin with. So why go back? Posted by: Snake Spirit at January 21, 2022 02:50 AM (CdZ4i) 717
This is why these isolated groups of experts needs outside control. You need normal people to come in and review what they're doing, to sign off on it. They resent the hell out of it, of course. But it's critically important they not police and control themselves. It's these "normies" brought in who are the ones who say, "Are you crazy!" when they propose Gain of Function on deadly viruses, or growing balls on monkey chins.

38 degrees, and pissin' rain outside. Glad I got indoors at least, before the rain.
Doesn't sound like a miserable chill, but unless you've felt the misery of a maritime, coastal chill, you'll surely underestimate the power of it's effect.
