The Morning Report — 10/20/22

Good morning kids. This morning's report is sure to set your Godwin's Law-o-meter pinging off the charts. Hell, it sure did mine and I'm the one that's composing it. But it is what it is and I have to call it like I see it and let you all decide. Stacy Abrams, known around here as "Tank" and whose physiognomy describes the anti-golden age Lauren Hutton, had a "solution" of the "final" variety to the problem of Democrat economic policy wiping out everyone's bank account: murder your unborn child and save! I guess it is a case of supply and demand. Fewer kids means less demand for diapers. Or baby formula, which thanks to the ideologically driven incompetence and ineptitude more than aborted fetuses, is still in dangerously low supply.

But her pronouncement is so incredibly tone-deaf that it goes beyond true-believer status to quite literally evil:

Let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas. It’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women this is not a reductive issue. You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.
Abrams, who is facing Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in a contentious gubernatorial rematch, then provided a nonspecific list of follow-up answers to the current high cost of living, which nearly 70 percent of respondents in a recent Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll said was an “extremely important” or “very important” consideration for how they would vote. . .
. . . The Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life organization that has endorsed Walker, paraphrased that “Abrams blames children” for rising costs of everyday goods. . .
. . . [Sen Rick Scott]: .@staceyabrams’ comments are simply outrageous and barbaric.
The solution to the Democrats’ inflation crisis is to abort more babies?
Absolutely disgusting.

Well, like I said, it is a solution, and one that is final. The real solution, of course, is to completely undo the 60-year sexual revolution and eradicate feminism which destroyed the family and morality. And it's not a coincidence that those two things are prime targets of socialism insofar as eradicating them is a "great leap forward" so to speak in the obtaining of absolute power. But I digress. Abrams is merely playing to her donor base, which is primarily located on the west coast and northeast corridor, not in Georgia.

While I was going to build today's column around this, and it is an issue of vital importance, in another part of the Schwarzwald, the nostalgia train keeps on rolling. Once again, it's made up of cattle cars.

An award-winning ABC News investigative reporter who was working on a book about [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan has not been seen in months after his apartment was raided by the FBI reportedly in connection with having classified material on his computer.
Rolling Stone broke the story about 52-year-old James Gordon Meek, an Emmy-winning journalist, on Tuesday. Meek was also former senior counterterrorism adviser and investigator for the House Homeland Security Committee.The FBI conducted a pre-dawn raid on his upscale apartment in Arlington, Virginia, back in April and he has not been seen since.
The publication claims that sources familiar with matter said that he was the target of a federal investigation and that the FBI allegedly found classified information on his laptop during the raid.
None of Meek’s neighbors have seen him since the raid, the report said. “He fell off the face of the Earth,” one neighbor said, noting that they’ve asked around, “but no one knew the answer. . .”
. . . Lt. Col. Scott Mann, who was co-authoring the book, said that he got a call from Meeks earlier this year indicating that something was going on.
“He contacted me in the spring, and was really distraught, and told me that he had some serious personal issues going on and that he needed to withdraw from the project,” Mann said. “As a guy who’s a combat veteran who has seen that kind of strain — I don’t know what it was — I honored it. And he went on his way, and I continued on the project.”
The report suggested that based on new Justice Department policy outlined by Attorney General Merrick Garland, in order to seize materials from a journalist, authorities would have to believe that the reporter was working for a hostile foreign power or terrorist organization or involved in situations like kidnappings or crimes against children.

Maybe it's just me but this Merrick Garland chap is coming across more and more as rather a dislikable fellow, nein?

It's bad enough when the FBI/DOJ at the behest of the Deep State sabotage an election (Miranda Devine's waiting for an apology is risible unless she's being sarcastic) then stage a Reichstag Fire (Godwin, drink!) phony "insurrection" to entrap innocent law-abiding protesters and hold them as political prisoners to preserve the illusion that 2020 was legitimate and anyone who says otherwise is on the verge of being labeled "a clear and present danger" to America.

We've now already seen that reliably leftist organizations like the National Association of School Boards colluded with the White House to have uppity parents identified by the DOJ as potential terrorists for objecting at school board meetings to the mental and physical abuse of their children and demanding change. We know that corrupt organizations like the ACLU and SPLC gin up phony stats (as if they had to) that perpetuate the myth of a vast white supremacist organization — comprised solely of millions of conservative and Republican voters — set to overthrow the government, which in turn the DOJ uses as a casus belli and political cover to oppress dissent.

So now, an investigative reporter who dares write a book that is critical if not an actual exposé of the Biden junta's disastrous Afghanistan bug-out debacle "vanished off the face of the earth" months ago, without a trace. Can you say "nacht und nebel?"

Mind you, this wasn't even someone like James O'Keefe, Lara Logan, Sheryl Atkisson or James Rosen (recall the latter two were under surveillance during the original Obama reign of error, now in its third term). Meek was working for ABC and, despite being a hideous rag, his disappearance was reported via Rolling Stone a 100% reliable leftist house organ.

If I were a betting man, I'd say if this story gains traction, Meek will be found dead, buck naked (except for a MAGA hat) in a seedy French hotel, surrounded by two dead catamites along with a suitcase full of documents linking him either to the Mossad or the Saudi intelligence services. The photos will resemble that of the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago raid. The cherry on top will be abject criminal scumbags like Peter Strzok spouting the party line that Meek was trafficking in phony disinformation. A "dossier" if you will.

Considering he has the mental capacity of a sea slug with Down's Syndrome, to ask "What did Biden know and when did he know it?" only gets the answer 2+2 = 10% for the Big Guy, circa 1985. That said, the entire business in Ukraine vis a vis our rush to go to war with Russia is to cover his and his family's corrupt dealings with perhaps one of the most corrupt governments on the planet. As Dave in FL and CBD postulated on our last podcast, the tens of billions of dollars in advanced US military equipment abandoned when we split in the dead of night is not so much a gift to the dark age Islamos controlling the Afghan but a way to pass said equipment and their secrets to the Red Chinese. And that might very well have been the nub of Mr. Meek's book. If it wasn't then his findings would certainly make it easy to connect those dots. But I digress.

3AM raids, kangaroo courts to prosecute/persecute political enemies and exonerate actual political friends (as well as real criminals via the Soros DA boogaloo), censorship, election-rigging and phony power-grabs to engineer same, and now the grabbing of enemies in the middle of the night and "disappearing" them under the pretext of "national security."

If this does not scare the ever-loving living shit out of you, you're one of them.

41 Let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas. It’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women this is not a reductive issue. You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.
++++
It's having a stake in one's own life and future. Children raise the stakes dramatically, but they do not create the stakes in the first place. This is incredibly sinister - not to mention tone-deaf - at just about every possible level. It simultaneously says "if you're single or childless, privation does not matter" and "if you have children, you're doomed to privation and worry."

On the one hand, you're nothing at all - just an automaton with no care or worry for your own lot or your future. But the only way to change that - to become a fully-fledged person with awareness of his own situation and the future - is to plunge yourself into privation without benefit by having children.

It's the grotesque thing I have seen in a long time.

47 It's worth noting that it's white people, and white women specifically, who are being told by Democrats that black families are genetically incapable of having, raising, and paying for their children, and that those children should be murdered in the womb so as to not be a burden to the black mothers and society in general.

It's been long understood that there are not fixed standards in this regard and there's wiggle room. Young, attractive people get more effort than old, ugly people when it comes to saving them. Does donor status affect this, too? I don't know. But the concept is fraught with peril and without trust, the notion of being an organ donor becomes a lot less palatable. In order to sign that card, you *must* trust the doctors aren't going to alter the amount of effort they put into you - and, of course, that they won't kill you to get your organs.

105 After their victory in Dobbs this June, pro-life organizations have been caught off guard by many Republicans’ opposition to legislating against abortion at the national level.

They failed to understand that "many Republicans" do not object to abortion, even abortion up to birth. They merely make mouth noises to pacify the rubes.

Together with 15 other members of @ScientistRebel1 I have occupied the Porsche pavillion at @Autostadt, 9 of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike until our demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met ...
... @VW told us that they supported our right to protest, but they refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating. ...
... We can't order our food, we must use the one provided by Wolkswagen. Lights off. Random unannounced checks by security guards with bright torches ...

Methinks they're missing the point. Suffer for your cause, commies.

110 > Hungry For Organs, Transplant Surgeons Exploit Different ‘Standards’ For Determining Death

I am reminded of Larry Niven's future history where the demand for organs became so high that they started using condemned criminals as organ donors (as we see in China today... Larry probably isn't happy that his predictions came true). Eventually it got to the point where littering and jaywalking became capital offense.

Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.

Your counsels will reform all by the light and grace that God will give you. Second, O Florence, you will have innumerable riches, and God will multiply all things for you. Third, you will spread your empire, and thus you will have power temporal and spiritual"

If he had stuck to preaching about vices instead of setting himself up as prophet of Florence's future glories, things would have gone better for him. No wonder people expected him to perform a miracle as proof.

It is in some ways reminiscent of the Franciscans who claimed the absolute poverty of the Christ and the apostles. Much commendable in zeal, but the idea of having everything owned by the Pope (which the Pope rejected) was insane and unworkable. Elements of utopianism at play.

As has been noted, there are roughly 280 million ICE vehicles in the US, the average EV battery pack takes around 5500 individual LiON cells to make, replacing even 10 pct of ICE vehicles on the road will require 100s of billions of batteries. To fully replace ICE vehicles will take trillions of batteries.

It's a marxist fantasy that EVs will replace ICE vehicles but this is the road these maniacs have us on.

It means many states will automatically require it as their state laws require that anything passed by the CDC become mandatory. They know this and don't care. Any parent putting their child in public school will now be forced to give them the shot, or they will need to go to a private school or leave for another state. It's an outrage they continue to force the vaccine on people who don't need it.

"Hidalgo, a progressive political newcomer, won office in 2018, at just 27. The Stanford grad, with no political and limited professional experience, credited her win to the progressive advocacy groups Run for Something and The Arena. She was a longshot candidate by any standard, challenging popular Republican incumbent Ed Emmett. The race was expected to be an easy win for Emmett, but with Texas’s provision for straight-ticket voting and robust support in major urban "counties for then-Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, Hidalgo was swept into office. (Another factor in the incumbent’s loss was nearly 25,000 people voting for the Libertarian candidate.)"

194 180 The CDC is playing word games. They are saying it is "recommended". But they know full well that most state laws mandate whatever they recommend.

They are going to pass it anyway. This won't end well. Many of those states are not blue. But even in the blue states mandatory vaccines have been a big issue. People want to choose what medicine their children get, not the CDC or the state.

well in PA parents will freak out. it may affect the election because we all know if Shapiro is Governor he will FOR SURE add it - yearly! - to the kids' schedule.

it's a game changer for a LOT of parents here. there are a lot of kids who had reactions at some point in this initial series and parents are over it in a big way.

Down-sizing was unthinkable so they latched onto the war on terrorism and got even huger budgets.

As % of gdp military spending has been on a long decline since the end of WW2. In absolute terms, not to mention relative terms, our forces are much smaller. Which isn't abnormal since we're not in a serious war, but actual mass mobilization and corresponding expenditures would be inconceivably large to most people today.

220 This is from the top article at DM.
It appears that all hell has broken loose but that Truss has not resigned.

"Ms Truss may soon be the shortest serving Prime Minister in history with some of her MPs calling on her to go this morning 'in order to stop the shambles'. Her power began to slip away when Suella Braverman quit at 5pm last night, apparently after a 90-minute screaming match that was apparently heard reverberating through the office door and into No 10.

And around two hours later it all kicked off in the Commons. Labour MP Chris Bryant said that some Conservatives were 'physically manhandled into another lobby and being bullied' ..."

This is why vote integrity needs to be taken seriously and implemented and enforced vigorously.

No court will ever force counted votes to be uncounted or set aside.

We say this play out in the 2020 Presidential election and the PA GOP should have been more on the ball.

I noted weeks ago that the PA SOS monkeyed with their ballot request/voter registration forms and combined them on his own authority and in contravention of statute, the PA GOP has not said word one about that or brought it to court.

Desperate is right. Obstruction is a Process Crime, one that the Feds make up when they complain you didn't help them to convict yourself enough.

And notice the tell in their own statement - they say enough evidence to INDICT, not enough to CONVICT. A Fed Prosecutor can indict you just because he thought you looked at him funny.

280 Hungry For Organs, Transplant Surgeons Exploit Different ‘Standards’ For Determining Death

******

This Normothermic Regional Circulation technique is a perfect example of the technology outpacing the morality.

ECMO at it's most ethical is a bridge to something else. The end result could be 1) recovery of damaged cardiac function, 2) replacement of the damaged heart (transplant) or 3) death (as determined by brain death criteria.

ECMO can allow potential recovery for up to a matter of 3-4 weeks. It is labor intensive and not cheap.

Allowing the ECMO circuit to supply transplantable organs with blood flow while depriving the brain of flow is an immoral misuse of a demonstrably useful technology.

302 Today's Meditation
“Whoever confesses his sins … is already working with God. God indicts your sins; if you also indict them, you are joined with God. Man and sinner are, so to speak, two realities: when you hear ‘man’ – this is what God has made; when you hear ‘sinner’ – this is what man himself has made. Destroy what you have made, so that God may save what he has made … When you begin to abhor what you have made, it is then that your good works are beginning, since you are accusing yourself of your evil works. The beginning of good works is the confession of evil works. You do the truth and come to the light.”

400 The 'homeless' streaming over the border have allowed the Feds to create many more programs of relief into which bureaucracies tap into for their own benefit. For example, the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund for Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) with grants to be administered prior to September 30, 2023. The grants are to be used to support 'McKinney-Vento' students.
Just a few of the many programs available: WIC is also available without regard to immigration status. HUD-funded programs that provide up to 2 years emergency shelter & transitional housing are available to all immigrants as long as those programs do not consider in-come in determining eligibility. And the definition of 'family' has changed in that # of people able to live in a 'one-family' residence appears to now be unlimited. And, of course, there's CHIP for children's healthcare.

Our homeless actually do have a point.

416 Thinking of the DC courts reminds of of southern courts during the Jim Crow Era; back then, a black man couldn't get a fair trial, although the courts and judges said they could. And if a white man did something to a black man, he was nary in danger of being held accountable for it.
Today, we see that in DC, the same thing applies, but it's about political affiliation; a Trump-supporter can't get a fair trial, but a Hillary Clinton or Deep State acolyte can't be convicted.

They were paid by the KGB; the NKV is no longer interested in paying them.

True. And yet the gravamen of my discourse is that an employee of the state run propaganda complex has been disappeared at a time he had been writing a book critical of the state's Afghanistan debacle.

429 I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the
head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy that I found this in my search for something relating to this.
