A Small Victory

Kaiser Permanente, which currently is my medical provider, has been requiring masks even though the law here no longer requires it.

I stated, the best studies show masks, and then only the N95 ventilator types, not your common cloth or painters masks, are at best 1-2% effective at preventing the spread of covid-19.

I stated the studies show that masks also INCREASE the risks of bacterial infection.

I got a letter today stating that they had considered my arguments and have elected to drop mask requirements except in the cases where local jurisdictions require them by law.

It's a small victory to be sure, but it IS a victory and one I wanted to post to encourage you, to fight for what you know is right and bring an end to this tyranny.

요새 학폭 뉴스가 많이 나오고 있는데 친구랑 얘가하면 이 극단적인 학폭이야기 나왔는데...

가해자 아빠가 검찰 인데 가해자 이렇게도 얘기 했네:

이러한 피해를 진술하는 주변 학생들은 정씨의 언행에 대한 비판도 쏟아냈다. 한 목격자는 "원고가 평상시에 계속 아버지 자랑을 하며 '내 아빠 아는 사람이' 등을 언급하곤 한다"며 "'검사라는 직업은 다 뇌물을 받고 하는 직업이다. 내 아빠는 아는 사람이 많은데, 아는 사람이 많으면 다 좋은 일이 일어난다. 판사랑 친하면 재판에서 무조건 승소한다' 등의 발언을 했다"고 주장했다.

Everyone predicted this - eventually they would be begging the police to come back.

No matter how woke you are, you eventually need safety. Nobody wants to live in chaos.

The major problem for blue cities is that they will never erase the tension that exists between the politicians and the police because the politicians will continue throwing cops under the bus so they do not have to take responsibility for the fact that 'law & order must exist' and their power base actually resenting this fact.

BRICS and the so-called death of the US Dollar IS BULLSHIT, Here is data, and here is why!

The dollar has fallen about 30% against the Brazilian real but only about 1% against the Indian Rupee, has remained essentially steady (within 1% over 25 years) against the Chinese Yuan,and has gained 4% over the Russian Ruble, so the data does not at all support the conjecture of a doomed US dollar. I assume you are some investor asshole trying to pump your gold and silver assets up. The reason it can fall against Brazil is because the Brazilian economy was fuxored and is gradually recovering.

The reason it hasn't fallen or changed significantly with India or China is because we are their largest export market by a factor of about 400% over their next largest trading partner in both cases and it isn't in their financial interest to let it fall.

The reason it's gained against the Ruble is that our economy is larger than Russia's so while both are hurt by this stupid proxy war in the Ukraine, the Russian economy has been hurt ever so slightly more.

So while DemonRat spending has undoubtedly not been a good thing for our economy, there is NO real world evidence that the dollar is in immediate danger of collapse. China and and India are the worlds two largest economies after ours and we are their largest export market for both, consisting approximately of 80% of their exports in both cases, and if they allow the dollar to slip much relative to their own currencies, they lose 80% of their export market, they aren't likely to allow that to happen.

I received an e-mail from Adam Schiff trying to solicit campaign contributions. What is particularly odd about this is that I am in Washington State NOT Californicatia. Is it even legal to solicit campaign contributions from people you do not represent?

At any rate, my response was rather impolite:

Do I feel bad about that level of impoliteness? Well perhaps only to the gay community for associating them with Klaus Schwab though he kind of made the

2. Natural gas is the one energy source they cannot stop the flow of. So they have to ban its use.

3. Natural gas is the one fuel that burns clean enough to refute the green agenda, so they have to ban its use.

4. Natural gas is the one energy source we have in abundant supply, so they have to ban it’s use.

100% pure, unfiltered clownworld:

Chris Hipkins, New Zealand’s newly elected Prime Minister, refused to define the term "woman," arguing that "people define themselves" when pressed by a reporter.

During a press conference Sunday, New Zealand media company The Platform asked Hipkins how he, and the New Zealand government, define what a woman is.

"To be honest, that question has come out of left field for me. The biology, sex, gender," he said before taking a long pause. "People define themselves, people define their own genders."

When asked about the term again, Hipkins diverted the question and said that "people identity for themselves."
...
"I wasn’t expecting that question, so it wasn’t something I pre-formulated an answer on. But in terms of gender identify, people identity for themselves," he said.

Oh, geez, bro didn't know this trick question was coming and was caught with his pants down..!

Can't expect a man to navigate a minefield like defining womanhood..!

FBI Committing Fraud to Prosecute Proud Boys

Absolutely remarkable:

On February 12, 2023, TGP’s Cara Castronuova first reported on the mistress and government plant infiltrated the Proud Boys. And it was the government who AUTHORED and INSERTED the mysterious “1776 Returns” document into the Proud Boys com channel.

The mysterious document was sent unsolicited to Proud Boy Chairman Enrique Tarrio’s Telegram right before January 6th by a “love interest” named Erika Flores.

It has been revealed that Flores reportedly testified to the January 6th Committee that A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL was the author of the entirety of the “1776 Returns” and that this FBI and CIA member or associate asked her to share it with Tarrio!

Tarrio has been charged with Seditious Conspiracy and currently stands trial in D.C. along with four fellow members of the Proud Boys.

According to the Motion by attorney Roger Roots:

“It appears that the government itself is the author of the most incriminating and damning document in this case, which was mysteriously sent at government request to Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio immediately prior to January 6 in order to frame or implicate Tarrio in a government- created scheme to storm buildings around the Capitol. As such, Exhibit 528-1 and the government’s efforts to frame or smear defendants with it, constitutes outrageous government conduct. This is either entrapment or outrageous government conduct, or both. Equally improper, it is a Brady violation because the Department of Justice must surely have known these revelations before putting Special Agent Dubrowski on the stand on February 9 to introduce this evidence.”

You can’t make this stuff up!

There is NO EVIDENCE that Tarrio ever looked at the document. There is NO EVIDENCE that the Proud Boys studied the document.

The FBI is conducting itself in an absolutely fraudulent manner.

Kernel Upgrades Sat April 1st 11PM

Posted on April 1, 2023

Will be attempting an upgrade to kernel 6.1.22 tonight starting at 11pm. Expect to be finished at least with the reboots by 11:30pm and should have all NIS and NFS dependencies restored by midnight if not sooner. Interruptions of individual services should not exceed about ten minutes with the exception of the Yacy search engine, yacy.eskimo.com/, this because Yacy rebuilds it’s database after each reboot and this process takes in excess of half an hour.

This will affect all Eskimo North services including virtual private servers, shell servers, e-mail, web hosting, and our free services including friendica.eskimo.com, hubzilla.eskimo.com, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

The 6.1.22 kernel has some minor fixes relative to the 6.1.20 kernel we are presently running so I do not expect any significant operational changes.

They think this is alarming...

In his new book, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer who is currently serving a prison sentence, portrayed his ex-client as an elitist with little concern for those who support him if they aren’t from “the ruling class.”

According to Cohen’s tell-all book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” as reported by NBC News on Tuesday, Trump held a deep admiration for Russian leader Vladimir Putin during the 2016 presidential race, admiration that was sparked by the now-President’s infatuation with wealth and power.

“Everyone other than the ruling class on earth was like an ant, to his way of thinking, their lives meaningless and always subject to the whims of the true rulers of the world,” Cohen wrote.

“The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swath of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” the former attorney added. “The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”

When TPM asked for a response to Cohen’s comments, White House spokesperson Judd Deere pointed to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s previous remarks deriding the former attorney as a “disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer.”

“He has lost all credibility, and it’s unsurprising to see his latest attempt to profit off of lies,” she said.

But ultimately I don't view him as anything but a tool of my will either. I don't respect his lifestyle. He is sexually debauched and often seems quite obtuse in how rude he can be.

But who else would I vote for?

And why would I think that any of the Democrat candidates are anyway remotely different in their personal lives, if not worse..?

All that matters is that he has the right ideas at this point.

I am not in a position to expect moral perfection from the clowns that rule over us.

We had the strongest economy we've had in my adult life AND we had no wars. That's why I would vote for him. For not caring about the "ants", he did a lot more for us than anyone else in the office. We haven't had a president in our life that wasn't involved in sexual debauchery but at least as far as I know, Trumps debauchery was at least limited to legal adults and the opposite sex, can not say that for Biden, Clinton, or Obama. Maybe Jimmie Carter was devoid of this but he was also largely ineffective as a President although he did give us the Freedom of Information Act.

There's a paradox in any complaint about the cruelty of God...

We çan accept that some amount of people will die suddenly or of disease far before their time... But it becomes impossible for people to accept that those killed by the Hebrews in war were also slated for early deaths even when these were deaths more meaningful than those of us who die young and of cancer... And all these deaths are actually authored by God.

To accept that early death can be a part of divine providence at all is to acknowledge that the deaths of those who opposed the historic Israel... For it is the case that these deaths were far more meaningful than likely most other early deaths in terms of their role in History.

Teddy Roosevelt 'On American Motherhood'

An absolutely fantastic excerpt from a great essay:

There are certain old truths which will be true as long as this world endures, and which no amount of progress can alter. One of these is the truth that the primary duty of the husband is to be the home-maker, the breadwinner for his wife and children, and that the primary duty of the woman is to be the helpmate, the housewife, and mother. The woman should have ample educational advantages; but save in exceptional cases the man must be, and she need not be, and generally ought not to be, trained for a lifelong career as the family breadwinner; and, therefore, after a certain point, the training of the two must normally be different because the duties of the two are normally different. This does not mean inequality of function, but it does mean that normally there must be dissimilarity of function. On the whole, I think the duty of the woman the more important, the more difficult, and the more honorable of the two; on the whole I respect the woman who does her duty even more that I respect the man who does his.

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night. She may have to get up night after night to take care of a sick child, and yet must by day continue to do all her household duties as well; and if the family means are scant she must usually enjoy even her rare holidays taking her whole brood of children with her. The birth pangs make all men the debtors of all women. Above all our sympathy and regard are due to the struggling wives among those whom Abraham Lincoln called the plain people, and whom he so loved and trusted; for the lives of these women are often led on the lonely heights of quiet, self-sacrificing heroism.

Just as the happiest and more honorable and most useful task that can be set any man is to earn enough for the support of his wife and family, for the bringing up and starting in life of his children, so the most important, the most honorable and desirable task which can be set any woman is to be a good and wise mother in a home marked by self-respect and mutual forbearance, by willingness to perform duty, and by refusal to sink into self-indulgence or avoid that which entails effort and self-sacrifice. Of course there are exceptional men and exceptional women who can do and ought to do much more than this, who can lead and ought to lead great careers of outside usefulness in addition to—not as substitutes for—their home work; but I am not speaking of exceptions; I am speaking of the primary duties, I am speaking of the average citizens, the average men and women who make up the nation.

...
Into the woman’s keeping is committed the destiny of the generations to come after us. In bringing up your children you mothers must remember that while it is essential to be loving and tender it is no less essential to be wise and firm. Foolishness and affection must not be treated as interchangeable terms; and besides training your sons and daughters in the softer and milder virtues, you must seek to give them those stern and hardy qualities which in after life they will surely need. Some children will go wrong in spite of the best training; and some will go right even when their surroundings are most unfortunate; nevertheless an immense amount depends upon the family training. If you mothers through weakness bring up your sons to be selfish and to think only of themselves, you will be responsible for much sadness among the women who are to be their wives in the future. If you let your daughters grow up idle, perhaps under the mistaken impression that as you yourselves have had to work hard they shall know only enjoyment, you are preparing them to be useless to others and burdens to themselves. Teach boys and girls alike that they are not to look forward to lives spent in avoiding difficulties, but to lives spent in overcoming difficulties. Teach them that work, for themselves and also for others, is not a curse but a blessing; seek to make them happy, to make them enjoy life, but seek also to make them face life with the steadfast resolution to wrest success from labor and adversity, and to do their whole duty before God and to man. Surely she who can thus train her sons and her daughters is thrice fortunate among women.

...

There are many good people who are denied the supreme blessing of children, and for these we have the respect and sympathy always due to those who, from no fault of their own, are denied any of the other great blessings of life. But the man or woman who deliberately foregoes these blessings, whether from viciousness, coldness, shallow-heartedness, self-indulgence, or mere failure to appreciate aright the difference between the all-important and the unimportant,—why, such a creature merits contempt as hearty as any visited upon the soldier who runs away in battle, or upon the man who refuses to work for the support of those dependent upon him, and who tho able-bodied is yet content to eat in idleness the bread which others provide.

The existence of women of this type forms one of the most unpleasant and unwholesome features of modern life. If any one is so dim of vision as to fail to see what a thoroughly unlovely creature such a woman is I wish they would read Judge Robert Grant’s novel “Unleavened Bread,” ponder seriously the character of Selma, and think of the fate that would surely overcome any nation which developed its average and typical woman along such lines. Unfortunately it would be untrue to say that this type exists only in American novels. That it also exists in American life is made unpleasantly evident by the statistics as to the dwindling families in some localities. It is made evident in equally sinister fashion by the census statistics as to divorce, which are fairly appalling; for easy divorce is now as it ever has been, a bane to any nation, a curse to society, a menace to the home, an incitement to married unhappiness and to immorality, an evil thing for men and a still more hideous evil for women. These unpleasant tendencies in our American life are made evident by articles such as those which I actually read not long ago in a certain paper, where a clergyman was quoted, seemingly with approval, as expressing the general American attitude when he said that the ambition of any save a very rich man should be to rear two children only, so as to give his children an opportunity “to taste a few of the good things of life.”

They certainly do not bring up these ideas in school anymore.

If You Discover Your True Self, Kill Him

Similar to if you meet the Buddha in a dream, you must kill the "true self" - this idea of being able to discover some authentic self through refinement of oneself through culture or embellishment of the self through cultural expression and soul searching is quite demonic.

It exists in service to the ego: I am a special person and when I express myself through art I am self-actualizing; all of my eccentricities and peculiarities are pedals on the rose of my soul...

You are just a person - no better or no worse than any other. The idea that you need to build up your personhood is absurd.

Just wild

Youtube has deleted a popular Hungarian news channel, PS TV, sparking a major backlash in the country, including from the country’s news publishers, which are decrying the extreme censorship.

According to a statement from the Hungarian National Media Association, “It is unacceptable that a platform provider established to broadcast media content should, in breach of its own contractual terms, remove the channel of a media service provider registered in Hungary, operating in full compliance with Hungarian law and publishing content that does not violate Hungarian law, without any explanation. We assure the editorial staff of our support and urge the publisher of Pesti Srácok to use all legal remedies against global censorship and show the world that the activities of platform providers can be tolerated.”

The statement, which was signed by almost the entire Hungarian national press, was published in solidarity with PestiSrácok.hu, which ran the PS TV Youtube channel before its deletion.

PestiSrácok.hu will protest against the media giant’s decision in front of Google’s headquarters in Buda on Friday at 5:00 p.m., and later in court. The move is reminiscent of Bolshevik methods used during the occupation of Hungary. It is truly shocking that Google, the company that runs Youtube, did not even inform the editorial office of the reason for the complete deletion of the very popular public video channel.

We have to oppose these mega corporations and do our part to drive people off of them.

Fed Govt Running Interference for Transterrorism

Tucker is on point:

It seems, for example, like an awful lot of mass shooters have taken prescription psychiatric drugs in the days before they opened fire and killed others. Have you noticed that? Maybe you have noticed that. Good luck saying it in public. You'll be shouted down immediately by someone with an advanced degree.


How dare you criticize Big Pharma? What are you, a conspiracy nut? No, actually, you're not. You're someone who cares about cause and effect. You're a rational person. The only conspiracy here is the one designed to prevent you from figuring out why mass shootings keep happening.

We are, of course, never allowed to even think that in that direction.

Consider the killings that took place on Monday in Nashville. The killer was a 28-year-old female transgenderist who shot her way into a Christian elementary school and murdered three nine-year-olds and three adults. Why did she do that? In a rational country, that is the very first question we would ask. In our country, it's the last question. In fact, often it's never asked at all. On those rare occasions when somebody finally manages to wonder out loud about motive, our leaders immediately start lying, which should tell you a lot. Here's the attorney general of the United States yesterday.

So, here's what we just learned from Merrick Garland. The FBI, the ATF and the Nashville police are all investigating these shootings. Yet more than 24 hours after they took place, none of those professional investigators can even guess as to why the shootings happened. Motive hasn't been identified, Garland told us. Really? You wonder how that could possibly be.

Just before she opened fire, the Nashville shooter wrote these words to her best friend over Instagram: "One day this will make more sense. I've left behind more than enough evidence."

That evidence includes a written manifesto where the killer spells out exactly why she killed children. The FBI, the ATF, the national police, and for that matter, Merrick Garland, all have access to that manifesto. And yet, somehow the attorney general informs us that a motive has not yet been identified.

Well, he's lying. They all are lying. We can't see the manifesto because the transgender lobby, which has far more power than you do, has pressured politicians to keep it hidden, but we can be certain what it says. Monday's victims were murdered because they were Christians. It's that simple.

They're literally running interference for a mass murderer - they are trying to safeguard their biases.

Indian-American Abortion Enthusiast Nabbed by Burrito

Tough luck

On March 1, authorities saw Roychowdhury stop the Toyota in a park-and-ride lot. After stepping out of the car, he threw away a brown bag containing a “partially eaten burrito wrapped in waxed paper.” DNA swabs on the burrito were sent to labs. On March 17, forensic biologists confirmed that the DNA matched that of the male from the Wisconsin Family Action crime scene, authorities said.

DeSantis Operating Like Mob Boss

More luddite posting:

If you’re waiting for a text or email back from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, don’t hold your breath: The governor, at least in his official capacity, doesn’t text or email, according to two people familiar with his operation.

In place of digital communication, DeSantis communicates exclusively with face-to-face meetings or calls. If he wants to schedule such a meeting, he’ll pick up the phone or have his team help organize it. The governor’s office confirmed DeSantis’s aversion to (now) traditional means of communicating, telling Semafor that he prefers in-person conversations because the topics discussed are often nuanced and detailed.

DeSantis’s preferred method for communicating effectively narrows his already tight inner circle and has helped ensure that his administration almost never leaks.

He’s far from the only Florida governor to have tailored their administration’s approach to dealing with its transparency laws. DeSantis’ predecessor, Sen. Rick Scott, implemented a no-texting rule during his time as governor. His chief spokeswoman at the time told The Times/Herald, which had requested a host of text messages from his office in 2016, that they discouraged “the use of text messaging (for) state business by employees because text messages are hard to catalog due to the digital nature of the message.”

Sources tell Semafor the Florida sticks to in-person meetings and phone calls. Florida's unusually strong transparency laws may be a factor.

Honestly, working a second job is a terrific measure for how bad the economy is.

It becomes a little tricky when we are talking about the potential of people just doing things like driving a single Uber Eats order on the way home or some such, which might just be an interesting way to earn your gas money back for the day.

To what extent this is the case, I am unsure.

Forty-four percent of Americans work a second job, a 13 percent increase relative to the Trump administration, a LendingClub report revealed Tuesday.

The recent increase under President Joe Biden is highlighted by a survey from FlexJobs, which found 69 percent of employed professionals either have a side job or want one.

The desire to work longer hours at a second job comes as Biden’s 40-year-high inflation cost American households an extra $5,200 in 2022 or $433 per month on average, according to Bloomberg.


Your actual income basically disappearing by more than a single average paycheck over the course of the year... in just a year of inflation.

Dumbphoning

Call me a Philistine but it is hard to actually imagine myself giving up the ability to play chess on my long commutes.

However, I certainly admire these people.

He hasn’t forsaken the internet entirely however: Briones helps moderate a Reddit forum devoted to so-called dumbphones, which had 17,000 thousand “enthusiasts” as members as of Monday.

“People who want to regain their time and attention, and have a deeper more purposeful life, I think that is who this message is resonating with,” Briones told AFP.

Dumbphones, also referred to as feature phones, are essentially throw-back handsets without big screens and a mountain of apps.

They are reminiscent of the pre-iPhone era when mobile phones allowed users to call another line, an astounding breakthrough made when the first mobile phone call was dialed on April 3, 1973 — 50 years ago.

I can imagine myself only doing something like this if I lived in the US and was driving everywhere, or showing up at that place and being engaged... I Guess I can also imagine doing this if I were to absolutely normalize reading on my commute in the very old fashioned style: with a physical book.


‘Dumbphone’ fans disconnect in face of smartphone dominance

Shunning his smartphone for a “dumb” one changed the way Jose Briones engages with the world — and he likes it that way. The 27-year-old Colorado resident turns to CDs when he wants music, instead of streaming it. When he

Forgiveness + Crime

Most extreme violence originates in mental illness coupled with child abuse. Rarely, it's pure mental illness. Rarest of all, it's a seemingly mentally well person from a decent background who has chosen to be agents of Evil for no discernible reason: this is profoundly disturbing, and so alienating from God that these people are the most pitiable of the bunch... They do deserve punishment, and I am completely confident that it is coming in the next life if not this one, and so I will forgive and pray that there is a single iota of goodness in them that outshines the darkness for their mother's sake...

The way I see it is that...

- People suffer mental breaks and make terrible decisions but this does not need to make me vengeful.
- We alienate mentally unwell people and fail to treat them fairly, so we are part of the problem.

Obviously, the man who cheats on his spouse, like the man who shoots up a school, made those final extreme decisions themselves... But we also do create circumstances that drive people toward their worst case scenarios. I am not suggesting they do not go to jail, so don't get mad when I suggest that you should feel guilty for bullying the mentally unwell or withholding kindness from them. Some of these people are coming completely undone and needed a more robust support network.

Anger is emotional and serves no purpose... And we should not politicize these events... Even when they are explicitly political.

At the heart of extreme violence done by an individual is illness and abuse, sometimes personal evil. None of this is political.

Repressive Tolerance

This excerpt is pretty shocking - from Herbert Marcuse's Wikipedia page:

Many radical scholars and activists were influenced by Marcuse, such as Norman O. Brown,[30] Angela Davis,[31] Charles J. Moore, Abbie Hoffman, Rudi Dutschke, and Robert M. Young (see the List of Scholars and Activists link below). Among those who critiqued him from the left were Marxist-humanist Raya Dunayevskaya, fellow German emigre Paul Mattick, both of whom subjected One-Dimensional Man to a Marxist critique, and Noam Chomsky, who knew and liked Marcuse "but thought very little of his work."[32] Marcuse's 1965 essay "Repressive Tolerance", in which he claimed capitalist democracies can have totalitarian aspects, has been criticized by conservatives.[33][unreliable source?] Marcuse argues that genuine tolerance does not permit support for "repression", since doing so ensures that marginalized voices will remain unheard. He characterizes tolerance of repressive speech as "inauthentic". Instead, he advocates a form of tolerance that is intolerant of repressive (namely right-wing) political movements:

Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left. Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements that promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or that oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc.[34]


German philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist (1898-1979)
