No crime of the Feminized Church is more textbook than accepting the destruction of the innocent so the Church can brag about gluing their lives back together. The Good Samaritan healed the hurting but the Better Samaritan packed heat and planted those robbers!

What Happens When the Church Looks More Like a CVS in Philadelphia?

h ttps://www.christianitytoday.com/better-samaritan/2021/august/what-happens-when-church-looks-more-like-cvs-in-philadelphi.html

By Marlaina Centeno, 26 August 2021

I would guess looting. For my international readers, CVS is just another Walmart.

My hometown of Philadelphia has recently seen a new, inspiring trend in helping people overcome the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic: walk-in mental health counseling services have opened in several CVS MinuteClinics across my beloved city.

“Wait in the car, son. Mommy needs some shampoo, a gallon of milk and two therapies.”

The better way to overcome the social isolation, hopelessness and despair caused by the Communist Red Dawn er, Plandemic, is to STOP COOPERATING WITH IT. Not by placing psychiatrists between the bread isle and the trash bags.

I am deeply encouraged that CVS, in addition to online resources provided by entities across the nation, is taking a step toward providing mental health care in communities where it hasn’t been readily available. This new initiative stands to provide access to diverse communities where this kind of care is desperately needed. While I am excited about this being a valuable clinical tool for helping address the nation’s current mental health crisis, it’s not enough on its own. People need community around them for holistic healing. and that’s where the church can step in.

So, “What Happens When the Church Looks More Like a CVS in Philadelphia?” The correct answer is a suicide watch.

COVID-19 will continue to impact Americans. mental health long after the immediate pandemic is over. We’ve seen the beginnings of physical healing. But the lasting mental and psychological effects become clearer every day. In fact, American Bible Society’s (ABS) newest State of the Bible report found that every root byproduct of Americans. stress. including feelings of restlessness, fear, anger and hopelessness. has increased since this same time last year.

What are you churches doing about that? Poker clubs for shut-ins? Maybe a designated, in-church area where quarantined people can hang out with each other while waiting the ridiculously long two weeks? Free massage parlors? I’m not even joking with that last one. Human touch is important.

Problem: government banned healthy human behavior. Solution: deploying psychologists everywhere with Cop Karens on speed-dial! Because there’s nothing the Matriarchy fears more than angry men acting independently.

But there’s hope. I’ve personally seen people find healing through church communities as they’ve implemented a Bible-based trauma healing ministry. At the heart of this program is a book called Healing the Wounds of Trauma, which encompasses a set of practical lessons that lead people on a journey of healing. The book. which includes 270 Bible references from 217 passages. uses biblical truths that highlight the power of Jesus to heal hurting minds, bodies, and spirits, and provides a strong foundation for restored lives and relationships. More than 1.3 million people around the world have already embarked on a healing journey through this ministry.

If you have any problem in your life, any kind of problem at all, then there’s a Bible Study for that. Which is not at all what was meant by “Sola Scriptura”.

Most importantly, the program’s train-the-trainer model allows lay church leaders and members to quickly learn how to facilitate it, meaning we could see rapid healing in the lives of millions of hurting people around the globe in the next few years. I hope to see this vision of healing realized in Philadelphia, and I pray its reality comes to your city and neighborhood too.

Okay, I do want to be surrounded by lots of Social Justice Warriors skin-suiting as both Christians and mental health experts, but please bring extra rope if you do this. While some of us believe in the Nanny State, others of us believe in lasting solutions.

It.s also important to note that the very definition of “community” has shifted over the past year and half.

It’s now a television show. Change my mind, Zoom.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused each of us to consider new ways to stay connected to one another. This new paradigm has led many of us online in search of the authentic community connection we once had in person. I was one of the biggest skeptics that mental and emotional health care can be effective online.until I saw healing happening online with my own eyes. I co-led ABS.s Trauma Healing Ministry’s first online trauma healing group back in February 2020.

Sure, Barbie. They tapped a skeptic to co-lead their first effort.

Right now, CVS stepping up to offer resources for walk-in patients is a fantastic program. But we still need more. More people need help than there are mental health professionals, and CVS clinics and online resources aren’t substitutes for healing communities.

“We need the Church because Walmart can’t save everybody.”

While our State of the Bible 2021 report shows that every root byproduct of stress has increased during COVID-19, it also shows us that more Americans than ever before are turning to the Bible. The church must use this moment to come alongside people and show them the true healing and hope found within the pages of Scripture.

LIES! God made us human beings! We’re supposed to act like human beings! Handshakes! Hugs! Facial expressions!

The Bible is nothing but a book that contains knowledge. Very important and trustworthy knowledge, yes, but DOING good is what counts. Knowing what’s good is just a prerequisite. The demons of Hell have the Bible memorized yet it doesn’t help them.

The incontinent need wives. The lonely need friends. The dissidents need organization. The robbers need dirt naps. This isn’t hard but waving a textbook is easier than doing a thing.

Since when does the Church rely on government-licensed experts in mental health, anyway? They don’t even believe that women are different from men.

I see a huge potential for the church to implement clinically and biblically informed trauma healing groups to convene small groups of people in safe places where they can help each other heal.

Sometimes I come across a story that Dalrock would have loved. His time came too soon.

Why marriage is still a sexist institution . and what we can do about it

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/why-marriage-still-sexist-institution-100048315.html

By Sara M Moniuszko, USA Today, 24 August 2021

Marriage is dead… and it’s STILL SEXIST!

Though the pandemic cast a shadow over weddings, it shone a light on a major issue with the institution of marriage.

While marriage is a joyous milestone for many, experts say there is no denying the institution has a history of sexism that, in many cases, can still be felt today. That doesn’t mean forward-thinking young people need to shun marriage . though some are doing just that. The experts agree awareness is an important first step toward progress.

Jocelyn Olcott, the director of gender, sexuality and feminist studies at Duke University…

New for Christmas, the Innsmouth Bobblehead!

…says we’ve made strides in recent years, but marriage’s sexist history is still seen in how heterosexual couples divide household labor and child care responsibilities. That became especially evident during the pandemic, when many women abandoned their jobs in order to care for and home-school kids.

Breaking news, COVID lockdowns cause mass unemployment! Women most affected, forced to spend time with her children!

“COVID really was like a blacklight on how precarious that progress was because as soon as the crisis hit, that maldistribution reasserted itself,” Olcott says.

Dalrock could have had so much fun with that.

Marriage before the 1970s was “legally structured as a sexist institution,” says Juliet A. Williams, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles’ Department of Gender Studies. Upon marriage in the 19th century, Williams explains, a woman and all of her property become the property of her husband, including her body, as evidenced by the fact that marital rape was not recognized in many places.

Still Isn’t. As for her pic, just look up Phoebe “Fleabag” Waller-Bridge, the feminist who finally took out James Bond.

The eye bleach BURNS! My eyes!

In some cases, women were required to take their husband’s last name unless their husband gave them permission not to, and banks would require the permission of husbands for wives to set up accounts.

She can’t handle the truth!

These days, there is “no legal difference between being a husband and a wife,” Williams says, but sexism still creeps through. This is the case with financial stability, she says.

“It remains the case that married women are financially, on average, better off than unmarried women,” Williams says.

We “live in a society where women are still incentivized to tie their fortunes to men, as opposed to being independent from them,” Williams adds, and “that really is the essence of sexism. Even though we think of marriage as an individual choice rooted in romance. The reality, at least at the level of structural incentives, has to be accounted for.”

Wives looting their husbands is SEXIST?! Never-married wine aunts deserve their share of hubby’s money, too!

Marya T. Mtshali, a lecturer in women’s studies, gender and sexuality at Harvard University and a research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School…

A diversity hire who puts superglue in her hair.

…agrees that there are “a number of ways” in which sexism is present in the institution of marriage today for heterosexual couples, including the “assumption and societal pressure that women and any subsequent children have the surname of the husband.”

This is observably not true. First we had hyphenated Americans, now we have hyphenated families.

Williams says the recent and fundamental changes in marriage laws are thanks in part to the activism of feminists and members of the LGBTQ community. And while it’s important to appreciate the progress, there’s still more to be done.

“We shouldn’t mistake equality within a problematic institution with actual equality,” she says.

Fried fricking ice.

While it’s been “difficult to shake” the “deeply sexist history” of marriage in our society, Olcott says that doesn’t mean the answer has to be to never marry, though some may choose to go that route.

“I think it’s interesting how many younger people are just opting out of marriage and don’t see it as relevant to their happiness,” she notes.

Instead, Williams suggests there are changes that need to be made on both a societal and individual level.

“The goal is more thoughtfulness around the consequences of giving weddings and marriage a pass as we try to untangle all the knots that continue to constrain women and men in their full flourishing and that maintain the overall inequality of women compared to men,” she says.

Williams recognizes that it’s difficult to push back against division of labor in the household, but says it can be helpful to start by recognizing how much stigma there is against women who don’t love taking care of the kids, for example.

Which just happens to be stigma against her, specifically. But why is she upset about being shamed for rejecting family life? All Williams needs to do is list what she accomplished instead of landing a husband.

Oh.

“We don’t want to deny that there’s agency at play in people’s replicating traditional division of labor in the household, but I also think we want to be honest that our desires are conditioned by the incredibly fierce judgment and condemnation that even in 2021 bears down on anybody who’s in any way gender non-conforming,” she says.

Ah, the true debate take shape. On one side are the Bridezillas who loot their husbands. On the other side are the militant feminists who never married and resent missing out on the attention and wealth transfers!

Meanwhile, a department head at a nationally famous university bitches about how oppressed she is.

Olcott says that in a household setting, keeping track of chores is a way to work toward equality.

People can also disrupt traditions rooted in sexism during marriage-related events, from the expectation that the man will be the one to propose, to asking a woman’s father for her hand in marriage.

Olcott notes people have turned away from traditional wedding vows that included the language of “obeying” your spouse by writing their own vows.

Others are opting to skip white dresses, which Williams says historically were meant to symbolize virginity.

While we men approve this statement, the underlying motive is complaining that Bridezilla gets to wear a white dress and the Harvard feminist doesn’t.

However, Mtshali believes “gender equality within marriage cannot be achieved without other institutions in our society changing as well.”

This includes the workplace, she says, with needed progress that includes eliminating the wage gap, increasing the minimum wage and guaranteeing paid parental leave.

Mtshali’s proposed replacements for marriage are money, money and money. Go away, husbands everywhere, but leave your lifeblood on the altar!

On an individual level, Indiana University sociology professor Jessica Calarco says we can also ask men to “step up more.” But she feels we need either “a massive cultural shift” or “big changes in policy” to help propel change forward.

“As a society, we can put greater pressure on men to do more, but I think as long as those structures are in place, it’s going to be hard for men to make decisions that aren’t in their own financial interests,” she says.

How original. “We made marriage all about us! We made marriage toxic to men! Now men don’t want to marry anymore and it’s SEXIST! I… want… my… WEDDINGS!!!”

It’s an epic showdown between feral wives and feral wine aunts! They agree that men must pay for everything… but should men be forced to go through a wedding, or should the concept be scrapped forever?

A few days ago, I made a wild-ass, fairy-tale guess about USA’s “failure” in Afghanistan actually being one domestic Deep State faction pushing a competing Deep State faction out of business. At the time, it was a guess because I only had cynicism and Cui Bono. But now… I gots da headlines. Hat tip to Peter Grant for several of these links.

Planes, guns, night-vision goggles: The Taliban’s new U.S.-made war chest

h ttps://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/planes-guns-night-vision-goggles-talibans-new-us-made-war-chest-2021-08-19/

WASHINGTON, Aug 19 (Reuters) – About a month ago, Afghanistan’s ministry of defense posted on social media photographs of seven brand new helicopters arriving in Kabul delivered by the United States.

“They’ll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward,” U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters a few days later at the Pentagon.

That didn’t age well.

In a matter of weeks, however, the Taliban had seized most of the country, as well as any weapons and equipment left behind by fleeing Afghan forces. Video showed the advancing insurgents inspecting long lines of vehicles and opening crates of new firearms, communications gear and even military drones.

“Everything that hasn’t been destroyed is the Taliban’s now,” one U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

Current and former U.S. officials say there is concern those weapons could be used to kill civilians, be seized by other militant groups such as Islamic State to attack U.S.-interests in the region, or even potentially be handed over to adversaries including China and Russia.

A very credible threat. It’s time for some decisive Pentagon action!

President Joe Biden’s administration is so concerned about the weapons that it is considering a number of options to pursue.

Bomb it. We know where it is and it’s our stuff anyway. A couple drone strikes and some artillery practice and call it a day. I’m angry it got left behind but shit happens when shitheads run the shitshow.

The officials said launching airstrikes against the larger equipment, such as helicopters, has not been ruled out, but there is concern that would antagonize the Taliban at a time the United States’ main goal is evacuating people.

FUCK YOU, TEAM BIDEN!

It looks like weakness. It sounds like weakness. But it’s actually Brutus vaxxing Caesar. jab jab jab

U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate

h ttps://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/26/us-officials-provided-taliban-with-names-of-americans-afghan-allies-to-evacuate-506957

By Lara Seligman, Alexander Ward and Andrew Desiderio, 26 August 2021

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.

Nice partnership. But, uh, don’t we have troops sitting inside that very airport for that kind of job?

The list issue came up during a classified briefing on Capitol Hill this week, which turned contentious after top Biden administration officials defended their close coordination with the Taliban. Biden officials contended that it was the best way to keep Americans and Afghans safe and prevent a shooting war between Taliban fighters and the thousands of U.S. troops stationed at the airport.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want a shooting war between American soldiers and the hostile army murdering Americans. Not if we were secretly allies.

After the fall of Kabul, in the earliest days of the evacuation, the joint U.S. military and diplomatic coordination team at the airport provided the Taliban with a list of people the U.S. aimed to evacuate. Those names included Afghans who served alongside the U.S. during the 20-year war and sought special immigrant visas to America. U.S. citizens, dual nationals and lawful permanent residents were also listed.

This isn’t even the first time they’re giving actionable intel to the Taliban so it’s not a political derp. Team Biden is feeding intelligence to the Taliban in order to utterly ruin the operation of a different faction of the US gov’t. The one that’s been running not-Taliban-gistan for two decades, presumably.

Kabul: US Government is Stopping Civilian Op Dunkirk Attempts

h ttps://michaelyon.locals.com/post/982365/kabul-us-government-is-stopping-civilian-op-dunkirk-attempts

By Michael Yon, 22 August 2021

The failing United States military and civilian government are not letting us land to rescue Americans. Many groups have aircraft waiting to fly. Serious people with serious means.

We can get people out but the United States government is so draconian that we are being held back NOT by the Taliban, but by the US Government who created the problem.

The US government has lost legitimacy. It’s getting in the way.

United States will be busy now arming Taliban with money, credibility, and at this moment is facilitating Taliban control.

Civilian-run evacuation efforts? In a FUBAR crisis under martial law on the planet’s backside? Uh-huh, sure. Let’s nail down this “Dunkirk” operation.

‘Digital Dunkirk’ needs more time to help get Americans and Afghan allies out

h ttps://news.yahoo.com/digital-dunkirk-needs-more-time-110000495.html

By Jerry Dunleavy, 26 August 2021

The Digital Dunkirk volunteer effort to get stranded American citizens and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan needs more time, as the collaborative effort by military veterans and others faces challenges posed by government bureaucracy, a Taliban takeover, and a Biden administration deadline.

The mammoth effort includes hundreds of military veterans working with the Pentagon, the State Department, and other officials in Washington, D.C., and Kabul. A host of military contractors, retired spies, Pentagon veterans, international aid workers, journalists, activists, and others have also joined in the disparate efforts.

Yeah, that a Deep State faction. The CIA community, for want of a better term.

Alex Plitsas, a U.S. Army veteran of the Iraq War who worked as a defense civilian intelligence officer in Afghanistan, told the Washington Examiner: .Digital Dunkirk is one of several groups that have popped up since Kabul fell. It is a confederation of former national security professionals from the Department of Defense, Department of State, and intelligence community.“

That’s a straight-up confession that this is factional infighting! We even get a name!

h ttps://patch.com/connecticut/fairfield/fairfield-veteran-helping-americans-escape-afghanistan

FAIRFIELD, CT . A Fairfield resident and U.S. Army veteran has joined “digital Dunkirk,” an independent effort by national security experts to help American citizens and allies escape Afghanistan after it was recently taken by the Taliban, according to the Hartford Courant.

Alex Plitsas served in Iraq and Afghanistan [about 9 years ago] and is currently the chair of the Fairfield Republican Town Committee. He is working with fellow veterans to use their military knowledge and experience . as well as social media . to aid Americans, some of whom were stranded after traveling to Afghanistan to visit family, the Courant reported.

“Americans”. Yeah, sure. Were there mujahidin on the Mayflower?

“They say when you get out of the military or the intelligence community that you never really get out,” Plitsas said Thursday on Twitter. “I never understood what that meant until this week. That network is still able to move heaven and earth when needed. I’m thankful beyond words.”

There was a time I would’ve seen a hero here. Now I see a swamp creature caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The more I learn about those “Americans left behind”, the more I want them to stay there.

h ttps://foreignpolicy.com/2021/08/20/afghanistan-taliban-takeover-digital-dunkirk-evacuate-afghan-allies/

For Mike Jason, it began as an effort to help a senior officer in the Afghan army flee the Taliban.

A retired U.S. Army colonel, Jason had attended the Institute for Higher Defense Studies in Rome with the Afghan officer years ago. This week, when the Taliban completed a dramatic takeover of the country, he received word that the officer had gone into hiding.

Jason quickly activated his network of former army pals over email and social media to make sure the officer would be allowed to get through the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul.

How could he possibly make contact with a foreign military officer he met years ago, briefly in neutral territory, after the guy went dark in a hostile country undergoing a purge following the collapse of his military chain of command? Why would he even care to? Unless he was still in contact with that officer and doing “stuff” in Afghanistan even in so-called retirement.

Since then, he and hundreds of other U.S. veterans, including West Point graduates, have been mobilizing on behalf of vulnerable Afghans in a kind of “digital Dunkirk,. as some are calling it, after the World War II effort by private vessels to evacuate British and other Allied forces from the embattled French port.

The network has quickly grown to include others who worked with Afghans over the years and now find themselves agonizing over the risk of retribution posed to their friends and former colleagues across Afghanistan.

.It spans everything from former policymakers to NGO workers to academics to personnel on the ground at HKIA,. said Nick Calbos, a West Point graduate who served in Afghanistan in 2012 and 2013. A network of West Point graduates has set up a website called Allied Airlift 21 with step-by-step guidance for Afghans looking to get out.

Eight years after he last saw them? Or did he remain in communication with them?

.We just built this network to figure out who’s going to get my buddy through the gate [at the Kabul airport],. Jason told Foreign Policy. “And we just realized, there are a ton of other people doing it too..

That’s an interesting statement, that the Dunkirkers are trying to get their buddies though the gate into the airport. It strongly implies that they have in-service allies already downrange. Is Biden partnering with the Taliban for outside security because he cannot trust the military inside?

Specifically, the West Pointers inside?

Team Biden intentionally armed the Taliban, after the fact if not before, then put them in charge of airport security with lists of who to watch for so his domestic rivals can’t reach their allies on the inside. It’s not incompetence, it’s actually being rather well executed. Which means Biden’s just the fall guy… but we knew that already.

We are not participants in our government. They don’t even notice us except as livestock to be controlled and consumed… too preoccupied with their reindeer games of power, vying for the Throne of Satan.

Zman has been writing about the possibility of having stable ethnostates via Christianity. Excerpt:

h ttps://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=24835

“This has always been the failing of the Right. They have always assumed that once they proved their case, the other side would have no choice but to throw down their weapons and embrace them as brothers. This is not reality. Unless one can connect biological reality with morality, they exist in two separate domains. The race realists have yet to attempt this connection. This should be where the militant Christians step into the breech, but people like Jones make that difficult. …It would be interesting to see someone approach this topic from traditional Christian ethics.”

Challenge accepted. This is an easy and natural connection for Christianity because we believe humans are a created species… created not just for God’s amusement, but to mature us into direct participation with God. We start at the beginning.

Genesis 1:27

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

You may have heard a lot from the Churchians about “being made in God’s image”. I recommend discarding it for today. Whatever baby-talk they fed you, it probably does not include the fact that human sexuality is to demonstrate our relationship to God.

Right away, we have made a profound moral statement. Our governments teach that you can have any gender, any sexual attraction, any permutation of human gonads EXCEPT MAN AND WIFE. Anybody should be able to recognize that what we’re being taught about our own sexuality is not what our sexuality is or should be. Our birth rates are cratering as a direct result of believing that humanity is not sexually dimorphic.

We now have the most basic form of biological reality-based morality (hereinafter biomorality): the dick goes in the chick. That should not be a profound statement upon the human condition yet it undeniably is. Sexual perversion has increased in pace with our society’s collapse and history confirms the correlation.

The next step in biomorality is, of course, marriage. The institution of marriage is not arbitrary or standalone. It’s a direct analogy. Christianity teaches that husband is to wife as God is to humanity.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church.for we are members of his body. .For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery.but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Like sexual dimorphism, this too should be very simple. Women being less capable and independent than men, need a man to get them through life… especially once she gets busy with kids.

Meanwhile, the husband’s job is to overlook his wife’s shortcomings, teach her what she can’t figure out for herself and provide for her.

This is the same situation as between humanity and God.

God wants our company. He wants to spend time with us and do stuff with us. Big problem, however: we are not equals. Not peers. There can be only one Almighty. We have the soul of God but not the strength of God just as woman has the shape of man but not his intelligence, muscle, wisdom, courage, inventiveness or… you get the idea.

Fortunately, both women and humans are incredibly desirable to the other side. No usefulness required.

By practicing marriage as demanded by our biology, we learn to become participants with the divine.

So then, why is the concept of marriage so completely desecrated, undermined and straight-out banned?

Original Sin. Genesis 3:1-7

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, .Did God really say, .You must not eat from any tree in the garden [of Eden]’?.

The woman said to the serpent, .We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, .You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die…

.You will not certainly die,. the serpent said to the woman. .For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil..

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Eve/humanity envied God His male privilege and disobeyed. Adam, the first simp, was standing right there… refused to tell her No then knowingly followed her into evil so he wouldn’t lose her.

Her envy and his abdication. Feminism. This is also part of our natural, biological impulses. It can be a nervous thing for a woman to depend on somebody she doesn’t control for her survival, especially if she resents how much better he is at everything. That is an instinct than God does not tolerate–humanity resenting Him and searching for alternative spirituality–and men must not tolerate. You don’t let the lesser rule over the greater or allow the envious to handle your possessions. No matter that strong impulse to make Momma happy.

Marriage fell apart because humanity divorced God. Not by replacing Him with other gods… not at first… but by empowering wives to rule over her husbands and trade him in if, in her limited capacity, she judged him unworthy.

In violation of our biology.

Of course, that created the need for a replacement deity/husband/wallet. Cue the welfare state, boldly stepping in to be the no-questions-asked paycheck that her hubby refused to be. And the government administering that welfare state is a strong-horse replacement for ol’ Bucky Beta!

I just created a biomorality argument that state-sponsored welfare is evil. You can skip every reference to God and reach the same conclusion that Scripture does. There are similar arguments to be made about all kinds of family-life issues from child-rearing (kids, obey your parents; parents, don’t push them too hard) to euthanasia (don’t kill the helpless just because they’re inconvenient).

That’s great, but Zman was also interested in biomorality as a building block for politics, not just family structure. First off, there’s a reason I began where I did. Once we accept that our biology demands we behave in some ways but not others, we gain a foundation for government–a reason why people should be forced against their will to do this but not that.

Second, we have targets for that government to face off against: the queers, the abortionists, the oathbreakers, the thieves and rebels. (Not meaning violence, understand. If one government is not substantially different from another then do you really have a choice? Vive la difference.) This can be the big-tent unifier that a lot of dissidents are searching for. IIRC, the early Romans were patriarchal but (of course) not Christian, and they were able to build an empire on the strength of biomorality.

Third, we men are in a spiritually awkward position. Nobody can be God’s equal but we are equals to each other… better/worse at specific tasks, but essentially peers.

Ephesians 5:21

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Philemon 8-14

…Although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul.an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.that I appeal to you for my son [and your runaway slave] Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

I am sending him.who is my very heart.back to you. I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.

This was more or less the American experiment, freedom of association for men on equal legal/spiritual standing. Obviously, not all men or races are equal in ability or temperament, hence allowing men to group and sort out their issues as best they can… remembering their spiritual reality as wives/servants of God.

What are the race-realist implications of this? Most people do best while living among people who look and act like them. If ethnostates help then go for it. If outright xenophobia helps then go for it. But never treat outsiders as less than human.

I am sorry that Christianity does not give a more strongly worded guidance. The reason we can have so many nations in the first place is that wiggle room is granted to men in order to experiment and build. God is the Creator and He wants the men to practice at being creators in turn. Giving us a magic formula would ensure that only one kind of nation would exist… and when God did exactly that and called it Israel, results were not promising.

But this is more than enough for current politics. The biomorality of male peerage is diametrically opposed to the massive consolidations of wealth and power that we see happening. “You will own nothing and be happy” but how can you create without tools? WHY would you create without ownership? Just as God owns the reality He created, a man should own what he builds.

(That’s not Marxism. Marx taught, so far as I can grok his rantings, that while the proletariat owns what he makes it’s the helpful Socialist bureaucrat who gets to redistribute it. He gave ordinary men the ‘means of production’ just so he knew who to rob, much as an expansionist empire might declare all members of a rival nation to be its brand-new citizens. Don’t be a traitor in the coming war of annexation!)

But that gets into the spiritual morality established by our biology rather than direct biological reasoning. Although I could point out that our opposable thumbs and weak bodies make us natural tool users, thus man is meant to be a creator.

So, this is the biomorality of Christ. The nuclear family as decreed by Him and the flesh He gave us, followed by working with whatever other men we get along with to build and maintain a civilization. If the former be inviolate than the latter will not go far wrong. To secure these ends, governments are established among men.

Romans 13:1-7

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

One final point. While it’s clear what behaviors are best for our reproductive biology, it is equally clear that humanity frequently, obscenely and violently rejects those best behaviors. We must be taught how to be human! If you cannot believe in a God who doesn’t show himself then please, at least acknowledge that humanity exists in a state of rebellion against its own best, biological interests.

The magic of our Earthly bodies is that in learning how to be human, we learn how to be gods. That is how Zman might adopt Christianity as an official religion with which to stabilize the West’s demographic implosion.

Just don’t try to conquer by that sign.

Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games
We got everything you want, honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey, we got your disease

Torrance police find more than 300 recall ballots in suspect’s car, along with gun, drugs

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/torrance-police-more-300-recall-005415905.html

By Gregory Yee, 23 August 2021

Officers responding to a call Aug. 16 about a man who was passed out in a vehicle found more than 300 ballots for the upcoming gubernatorial recall election, a loaded gun, drugs and other illicit materials, Torrance police said Monday.

The devil has two problems: him being on the wrong side of history, and his minions being on the wrong side of the bell curve.

Officers were called about 10:45 p.m. to a 7-Eleven parking lot at 3735 Emerald St. for a report of a man passed out in a vehicle, said Sgt. Mark Ponegalek, a spokesman for the Torrance Police Department.

When officers searched the vehicle, they found a 9-millimeter handgun and stolen mail, including more than 300 ballots, Ponegalek said. In addition, the man had methamphetamine, Xanax pills, a scale, multiple California driver’s licenses and credit cards in other people’s names, police said.

Torrance police are working with other law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Postal Service and the Public Integrity Division of the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, to determine how the man got the ballots and what he planned to do with them, Ponegalek said.

I’m sure he planned to burn them for warmth, which is why he didn’t steal any other mail.

Come on now! He planned to sell them to Democrat “community organizers” for drug money. Do you really think a lowlife meth head is also a news junkie? Meanwhile, how do I know it’s the Dems who are buying? Because the Cali Reps looked at all the Republican candidates on the ballot… and refused to support any of them because they all were MAGA. The Republican Party leadership believes that if they don’t lose then the terrorists will win. They also can’t be seen stuffing votes for Dems without giving the show away so they’ve simply quit the field.

Police are working with officials to ensure that all voters affected by the thefts get new ballots, he said. Ballots are mailed with unique barcodes assigned to each voter.

Why barcodes? They used to be numbers, just as easily scanned, that a voter could copy and maintain his own record of.

Oh.

The suspect, whose name wasn’t released, was arrested on suspicion of “numerous weapons, narcotics and forgery charges,” police said.

But not vote fraud?

The incident isn’t tied to additional ballot thefts, police said.

There is one reason for hope in our current situation. Thus far, the Woke have dealt either with loyal opposition or people whose paychecks they control, which has given them the appearance of invulnerability. Not without reason. However, those easy victories are over. Much like the Taliban testing that newfangled Afghan Army, our Elites now begin to reach the diehards who not only have no interest in their agenda, we’ve been told to our faces that we’re marked for death… and we diehards are prepared to be reasonable about that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger loses corporate sponsor of bodybuilding event for ‘dangerous, anti-American’ comment

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-loses-corporate-sponsor-165254358.html

By Melissa Roberto, 20 August 2021

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rant about the importance of wearing face masks has landed him in hot water.

Fox News can confirm the former governor of California has lost a sponsor for his annual bodybuilding event known as the Arnold Classic due to controversial comments he made last week. The former governor of California riled up citizens when he called mask-averse Americans “schmucks” and said, “screw your freedom,” to those seeking to terminate COVID-19 mandates.

In a statement to Fox News on Friday, REDCON1, a sports nutrition brand, confirmed they’ve pulled out from Schwarzenegger’s event as well as any others he’s involved in.

*tune of Jingle Bells*

Cancel their culture,
run it over with a bus,
O what fun it is to play
the games the Woke taught us!

“To be clear we did not pull out of the event because of a mask issue. We understand the importance of public safety as well as the responsibilities all event organizers. These are unprecedented times and we’re aligned with public safety for all. We elected to discontinue support due to Arnold’s comment, .Screw Your Freedoms,.” a spokesperson for the company said.

Whatever. It ain’t the words that matter anymore, it’s the action. PIMP SLAP!

“With the global influence Arnold personally possesses we find that ideology dangerous and anti-American,” the company continued.

“REDCON1 is a patriotic pro-freedom brand rooted in the uncompromising unapologetic belief that you, as an American, are entitled to your freedoms and opinion and should not be insulted or persecuted for having a varying view. We support everyone’s individual freedoms,” the statement concludes.

REDCON1 founder Aaron Singerman also voiced his opposition to Schwarzenegger’s comments on his personal Instagram…

…writing, “For the last 15 years I’ve been attending the Arnold Classic, and for at least a decade I’ve been a sponsor of the contest. I’ve loved Arnold as long as I remember, and credit him for my initial interest in bodybuilding and fitness. I’ve looked at him as a role model.

“A guy who had nothing and no advantages, who never made an excuse, and created tremendous success. He became an icon based on his work ethic, his charisma, and his grit. It’s with a heavy heart and some genuine sadness, that REDCON1 has decided to discontinue any and all support for the Arnold Classic and the other Arnold related events around the world,” Singerman’s post continues.

“We’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars being a top sponsor of the event, and this year the exclusive sponsor of the webcast, but we can’t in good Conscience continue to support & be involved with someone who has such diametrically opposed beliefs.”

I’ve heard that exact speech from all kinds of SJWs sick with the vapors that “their hero” turned out to be MAGA or something. In this case, however, it’s true that Singerman was a longtime supporter of Ahnold.

In a controversial interview, Schwarzenegger had a message for those arguing that “freedom” is more important than wearing masks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“No, screw your freedom, because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities. We cannot just say, .I have the right to do X, Y and Z.. When you infect other people, that is when it gets serious,” he added, publicly admonishing those who aren’t subscribing to the practice of masking up and getting the shot.”

The actor’s daughter Katherine, 31, took to her own social media account to support her father’s message.

Later, in an op-ed for The Atlantic, Schwarzenegger addressed some of the criticism he received over the comments, writing, “I.ll admit, calling people schmucks and saying “Screw your freedom” was a little much,” though he still stood by the statement.

Days later, Schwarzenegger was spotted in public without a mask as he walked outside and puffed on a cigar.

We could let that pass… it would be the nice thing to do… but Governator, your freedom required you to smoke that cigar by shoving it up yo’ ass so your face can stay diapered forever. Arnold killed my Grandma!

I perused REDCON1’s website to see if there’s anything I might like… I used to buy shirts or whatever at pretty much every venue I go to, just to support small business… and I found this wonderful T-shirt that now has a brand new meaning. $24.99.

The shock and awe over USA’s failure in the Graveyard of Empires puzzles me. After all, it doesn’t have that nickname for nothing. Every military guy I talked to, for twenty years, knew that USA’s Forever War there was bullshit. So then, why all the heartburn and politicians swooning over the Second Fall of Saigon?

I got no evidence for the story I’m about to tell. No articles. It is a brain fart born of Cui Bono, “all politics is local” and the on-target insight of Mogadishu Matt.

https://freemattpodcast.wordpress.com/2021/08/19/afghanistanarchy-why-they-failed/

Everyone is sunny side up when watching a division in boot camp march or do drills, but when they are thrown into actual conflict, it is a different story. The ANA always had either a NATO/ISAF adviser around the corner or a convenient airstrike when things got hairy. (Or even embedded with US military led operations). The sunk cost/time element skewed our ability to be honest..after 20 years, I figured you could handle it…

It was also noted that even when the ISAF/NATO forces were around, people wouldn’t show up for musters or movements. Many would disappear after a short period, just to re-appear when they needed money. The appeal of the jobs program was more appealing than fighting for the community, or any sense of .patriotism./esprit de corps.

I observe that, outside of people who were employed by the government/money, no one really cared enough to do anything.

Well, that IS the kind of army that one would expect an international banking cartel to create.

Diehard Islamists in the front, NATO pulling out behind and they’d been promised this wouldn’t happen… flop.

But that doesn’t explain the system shock to the ‘Murican Empire. Here’s a wild sea tale:

When the MIC/CIA realized that Trump was serious about ending the Forever Wars, they put in place a contingency plan. Pull all the uniformed troops out of Afghanistan but install more contractors and off-the-books assets to continue the money laundering and opium harvesting from inside the Afghan Army. The plan was far enough along that even after Trump left, the MIC didn’t object to proceeding. Fewer international observers that way, y’know?

Just to mock the American people, they planned the handoff for the 9/11 anniversary.

But then China partnered with the Taliban to strike just as the handoff was beginning to happen… between the black-baggers arriving and their taking delivery on the Afghan Army. Now, those unofficial assets are trapped and being hunted down.

The reason the US government is destabilizing over this is because the CIA just lost its meal ticket. Its men, money and secrets are now being collected by helpful Chicomm advisors. If this is not immediately corrected then the intelligence community will be ruined and vulnerable.

The intel community screams at Biden to send the troops back in but the Bidenreich is owned by China. Thus, Biden disappears with all the statesmanship and panache of a pervert caught in the ladies’ room. By the time China turns their Resident’s teleprompter back on, the CIA will be crippled.

I haven’t paid much attention to all the “I laughed at STUPID-19 but now I’m dying and my last words are to beg the government to forcibly vaxx everybody and their dog before it’s too late” stories. They’re fake because 1. my people never spend their last moments being hypocrites and 2. the stories never mention the cures. Seriously, I can just about paralyze a Baby Boomer’s lungs with this exchange:

Me: “I’m never getting vaxxed.”

Them: “What if you get sick?”

Me: “I’ll use the cure. There are several.”

Them: *stare in horrified disbelief then swoon into a faceplant*

Me: “That looked like a cytokine storm. Would you like some horse paste?”

Okay, okay, he didn’t pass out but neither could he acknowledge that there was anything to do about Coof other than Pfizer/Moderna. God, I hate Covidians. Demons crawl up their noses and take a shit in their brains, and suddenly, they feel smart.

Point being, the Covidians are incapable of admitting the existence of cures for fear of destroying their own Narrative. Not even in a “didn’t work” context because the vaxxes aren’t working, either. It’s why they’re still wearing face diapers and hiding under the bed.

But this story caught my eye… because it gloated just a wee bit too much…

The Pope’s No. 1 American Nemesis.a COVID Skeptic.Is Now Fighting for His Life

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/pope-no-1-american-nemesis-160100549.html

By Barbie Latza Nadeau, 16 August 2021

Huh, Barbie has a last name. I bet it ain’t Ken’s.

ROME.American Cardinal Raymond Burke, who staunch conservatives in the Catholic Church view as something of an anti-Pope Francis, is fighting for his life on a ventilator in a Wisconsin hospital after contracting what he often referred to as the “Wuhan Virus.” The prelate was on a vacation from Rome, where he lives.

One, ventilators are typically an unnecessary death sentence. Two, where’s the ivermectin? A high-ranking Cardinal doesn’t have a doc who knows not to step in Cuomo’s derp?

The 73-year-old cardinal has shown himself to be a COVID-19 denier, publicly scoffing at Italy’s strict lockdown measures during the height of the pandemic and was even seen strolling around Rome mask-free even when face coverings were mandated outside. He was the subject of a brief Italian news report that showcased Americans defying Italy’s anti-COVID measures, telling the newspaper that closing Catholic churches and social outdistancing was .un-Godly..

Better yet, a high-ranking Cardinal who openly rejected the vaxx didn’t insist on trying the curatives?

Burke has been one of Pope Francis. harshest critics, teaming up with Stever Bannon and conservative Italian politician Matteo Salvini to condemn Francis on issues such as immigration and homosexuality. He was also tapped to be the spiritual director of a failed venture by Bannon to develop an alt-right academy in an ancient monastery in the foothills of Rome, which has been curtailed by the Italian government.

h ttps://www.lifesitenews.com/news/italys-senate-overwhelmingly-approves-early-covid-treatment-options/

April 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) . The Italian Senate has voted almost unanimously in favor of early outpatient treatment therapies for COVID, accepting a motion introduced by Senator Massimiliano Romeo, a member of Matteo Salvini’s Lega.

Even though the motion will need to go through further parliamentary process, the decision is a breakthrough. Without defining actual protocols and medicines, the Senate put the subject squarely on the table and answers will need to be given.

Dr. Andrea Stramezzi, a prominent Italian doctor, told Xavier Azalbert of the only consistently anti-sanitary dictatorship national daily in France, FranceSoir: .The issue is to treat COVID, not to wait (until) it’s already reached a situation of cytokine storms where you cannot save the patient without hospitals, without ICU. So we are very, very happy..

It’s pathetic if that qualifies as a breakthrough: politicians ordering doctors to stop playing politics.

The objective is to define a protocol for early treatment and roll it out to all medical centers and doctors in Italy, Dr. Stramezzi confirmed. He noted that in Italy, as in France, the same “virus stars. . virologists using the same approach . appear every evening on television to say that “only the vaccination campaign” will make it possible to move out of the pandemic, “and they also say: .We don’t have any treatment…

.That is not true,. Stramezzi insisted. He suggested that either these media doctors have connections with “Big Pharma” or they don’t know what COVID actually is, because they don’t see outpatients at the beginning of the infection but only in-patients who are already experiencing a cytokine storm and not breathing anymore. .So they haven’t understood, in my opinion, how to treat COVID,. he said.

So, Burke’s ally tried to force the health Nazis to do an honest job… are they doing one for him right now?

End segue

Pope Benedict XVI, himself a conservative, tapped Burke to be a cardinal in 2010, but Francis almost immediately demoted him from his high-ranking Vatican position as head of the justice department in 2014. He has since rallied conservatives to question the legitimacy of Francis. papacy through the publication of dubia, or doubts, about what the pope has preached.

Burke sounds like a top-level Good Guy who is saying the things that need to be said about Pope Pachemama. And then he gets sick with Coof and the hospital staff jams a breathing tube into him, the most discredited treatment known for Coof and not at all what Salvini’s government was trying to correct four months ago?

This could be an assassination in progress.

Burke also famously refused to grant Holy Communion to former Secretary of State John Kerry over his stance on abortion rights and actively campaigned against the election of Catholic Joe Biden, warning voters that he is “not a Catholic in good standing.” In a statement on his website ahead of the 2020 election, Burke wrote that voters should stick with Donald Trump because .a Catholic may not support abortion in any shape or form because it is one of the most grievous sins against human life and intrinsically evil, and therefore to in any way support the act is a mortal sin..

Yeah, there are means, motive and opportunity for an assassination. Or at least, medical malpractice.

The American prelate had recently scoffed at continuing COVID-19 precautions and scorned vaccine mandates in both the U.S. and Europe. It is not known if he was vaccinated before contracting the virus, which would have helped him comply with Italy’s increasingly harsh regulations that require vaccination proof to anyone who wants to dine in a restaurant or go to a movie. Pope Francis has also required Vatican employees to be inoculated and called getting the vaccine an “ethical obligation..

The vaxx doesn’t prevent you from getting Covid. It prevents the government from starving you to death. Trust the Science!

Burke.s press team tweeted last Wednesday that the cardinal had been admitted to a hospital after several conservative Catholic websites started prayer circles for him. “Cardinal Burke has been admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 and is being assisted by a ventilator,. according the tweet. .Doctors are encouraged by his progress. H.E. faithfully prayed the Rosary for those suffering from the virus. On this Vigil of the Assumption, let us now pray the Rosary for him..

Neither the Vatican or Burke’s assistant returned requests for comment for this report.

So again, what about the cure? Any treatment besides a last-stop ventilator?

*checks*

Nothing has been made public except two tweets from Burke requesting prayer. That and HCQ does a body good. He is being treated in a Wisconsin hospital rather than a Vatican facility. That argues against my suspicion.

I pray Burke makes a full recovery. Not only because he’s one of the few respectable leaders of the Catholic Church left, but so all the Covidian abortionists cheering his suffering will be put to righteous shame.

If God should choose otherwise then so be it. Burke was going to die someday, anyway, just like everybody else, and I note he risked his health on international travel to his diocese instead of “social-distancing” like a coward at Vatican City. He would not have been a man of God had he not put his work ahead of his safety.

My early life’s context was much different from today’s. Example, religion was not that big of a deal in the 80s and 90s. Believe or not, go to church or not, it was simply one of many unforced choices that people made.

The horrible reality of Current Year makes a twisted kind of sense. Now that the Church has completed the Great Commission and end-of-lifed, the logical next step is the Great Divide between believers and Marxists. The latter, in between their ranting threats against us and their cheap-ass bribes (“give us control of your body and you’ll be entered into a raffle for a toaster!”), sometimes have an introspective moment about what makes Us so dramatically different from Them.

Let’s listen in.

Op-Ed: Why vaccination hesitancy runs deep among the religious . and what we can do to reach them

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/op-ed-why-vaccination-hesitancy-100501505.html

By J.M. Opal, An American-Born History Teacher in Canada. 11 August 2021

.Don’t come knocking on my door with your Fauci ouchi!. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) yelled at last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference. .You leave us the hell alone!. Boebert has described her election to Congress as .a sign and a wonder, just like God promised..

We open with a Rorschach test. The Christian sees a professional liar mugging for the camera. The atheist sees an Establishment Conservative ‘influencer’ recruiting support from ‘faith communities’. Truth means nothing to the atheist and popularity means nothing to the Christian, thus we often talk past each other.

She.s a moderate in some circles. One Florida pastor hears parishioners call the vaccination the “sign of the beast,. a biblical reference to the apocalypse. A Tennessee pastor who threatens to expel anyone who wears a mask to his church also discourages people from getting the vaccination, which he falsely claims contains aborted fetal tissue.

No wonder that white evangelicals are among the least vaccinated Americans.

Say what? Two no-name pastors and a B-list politician hate the jab, and “it’s no wonder”? It’s like Chuckles is playing a video game in which zapping the Borg Queen will force all the drones to fall in line. I wonder if, when he asks us why we don’t submit, when he hears us give the same reasons as Pastor Greg Locke (the abovementioned-but-not-named Tennessee Man Of God), if he thinks we’re giving the same reason because we’re obeying him.

As I said above, atheists don’t do truth so the idea that we believe what we say doesn’t occur to him. What DOES occur to him is that Pastor Locke must have a secret fan base in the millions because he and we agree. Never mind that Christians don’t do popularity… he does, so he calls it like he sees it.

Similarly, he doesn’t realize how much he discredited himself with that little lie of “it’s not made of aborted baby”.

And no wonder that many in the vaccinated majority, increasingly angry with their unprotected fellow citizens, conclude that anti-vaccination evangelicals are just tools in the right-wing war on common sense and basic decency.

QED. The rabbits see us giving the same reasons as a guy with the title “leader” and conclude that we’re a competing rabbit warren.

Yet the roots of vaccination hesitancy are much older and more interesting than that. Indeed, American skepticism of expert knowledge reaches back nearly three centuries, to a rebellion against religious authority.

Wouldn’t that be five hundred years ago? Martin Luther, hello?

That you did, mi’Lord. Credit where it’s due!

During the first century of English settlement in North America, most colonists listened to college-educated pastors. Whether Congregationalist in Massachusetts or Anglican in Virginia, those pastors based their authority on their knowledge of Latin and Greek as well as of theology. Many dabbled in medicine. They were the experts.

Wow, it’s like nothing ever changes.

But in the mid-1730s, charismatic preachers without college degrees suddenly drew huge crowds with harrowing tales of a furious God and wayward flocks. Embracing these revivals, the Rev. Jonathan Edwards of Massachusetts delivered one of the most famous sermons in American history, .Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.. (The title pretty much sums it up.)

The revivalists also denounced educated ministers as “unconverted” impostors whose book learning led people away from real piety. One likened the regular clergy’s sermons to “rat poison.” Distressed by such attacks, Edwards pulled back from the fires he had stoked, calling for “humility and modesty” in the face of conflicting views.

Seriously, it’s like nothing ever changes. So, Mister Historian, why is our refusal to trust college experts dabbling in medicine any kind of surprise to you, if this is what we’ve been doing for 300 years… by your own admission? Why have you not simply given up yet?

But the wounds of this religious revolution never healed. Unlike in crowded European countries, where congregants had to coexist, Americans kept spreading apart, moving west after 1800 and forming new churches that reproduced rather than resolved the bitter divisions that had begun back East.

As moderate Protestants began to stress the human capacity for progress with or without God’s help, wave after wave of revivals cast fresh doubt on anyone who claimed expert knowledge without divine inspiration.

Atheist: “You’re a bad Christian because you rely too much on Christ.”

Me: “Since when does an enemy of God get to judge God’s servant?”

New forms of fundamentalism emerged in the 1920s in response to Darwinian science and again in the 1970s in reaction to the women’s liberation and civil rights movements.

Both doctrines… God being the Creator of Life and women being created to serve men… predate written history, to say nothing of the last 300 years.

There I go again, confronting lies like a Christian. Our purpose here is to get inside Professor Opal’s brain bucket and he thinks in terms of popularity, not truth. American churches kept the old, traditional ideas popular… ideas threating to Opal… thus, he hates those pastors who reject the lies, thinking that converting or exterminating them is the key to ending all holdouts.

It feels strange to be thinking in terms of leadership. I have not known a trustworthy leader since childhood. Modern “leaders” wouldn’t want me even if I offered to follow because I ask questions and insist on being paid for my work.

In fact, this “influencer” concept of leadership doesn’t pass the smell test. Leadership is way more than dictating what other people believe. I didn’t even hear that term until just a couple years ago, when the New World Order ascended.

While many Americans and Europeans drifted away from religion, except as a guide to moral conduct or a source of community, religious conservatives sustained the belief in God as an imminent presence in daily life . a power vastly superior to any kind of research or learning.

Here, Opal is correct. The ultimate reason why we refuse the jab is because we remain loyal to the Creator… not because He’s useful or even because we understand His ways, but simply because we belong to Him.

As Boebert says, .The wisdom of the world is foolishness in God’s sight..

That was badly phrased.

Segue: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who [m]are perishing, but to us who [n]are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,

.I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside..

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for [p]signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

End segue

Professor Opal rejects God by the strength of… popularity. He has a planet-sized rabbit warren to hide in and clever arguments going back centuries to when Aristotle first gave up on reasoning with his kind. What does it matter if you can be proven wrong, when everybody wants you to be right?

And on that note, his doxology:

Some faith communities have embraced vaccinations and other medical breakthroughs, citing God’s benevolence and the golden rule. Yet modern evangelicals often see God as more stern than kind, encouraging a sense of epic conflict between the pious and the profane. And over the past few decades, evangelicals. deep-seated distrust of society’s experts has merged with the increasingly nihilistic themes of the far right, creating a toxic disdain for science in general and public health in particular.

Projection much?

Which brings us back to our troubled present. COVID-19 surges again due to vaccination hesitancy and growing hostility to basic safety precautions, while the experts . and the Americans who listen to them . throw up their hands. How can understanding the long history of anti-expertise help us overcome this deadly impasse?

To start, those of us who are vaccinated must accept that the non-vaccinated aren’t just political pawns for the Lauren Boeberts and Tucker Carlsons of the world. Rather, they are bearers of a long and complicated history, one that has often enlivened American culture.

After all, the mid-18th century revivals that tore apart so many communities also helped prepare the colonists to defy the Church of England, and thus the British Empire during the American Revolution. The revivalism of the 19th century often inspired anti-slavery activism.

In non-pandemic times, a healthy skepticism of expertise has made the U.S. a nation of free-thinkers and rule-breakers.

In Totalist theology, that is called a thought-ending cliche: “that was then and this is now”.

On that note, public health officials should more directly address faith communities, making clear that each church has a right to worship God according to its traditions and to question science when people’s lives are not in immediate danger.

Unable to resort to arguments of truth and understanding, and having just convinced himself of the futility of tricking Protestants into blindly trusting Latin-speaking worldly authorities, Opal advocates informing us that our inalienable right to believe in fairy tales ends wherever the government says it ends.

Awesome sauce. We’ve already won. The Enemy has no argument left with which to justify their evil except “there is no God”. We would have been happy to let you believe that for a long, full life, Mister Opal, but you were not willing.

By taking that vital step across the great cultural divide, the experts can more effectively dispel the wild conspiracy theories swirling around the vaccines. They might even make the case that getting vaccinated is the moral choice, the kind, caring and Christian thing to do.

Many won’t listen. But some will, and fewer people will die.

In the end, we can all learn something from the Rev. Edwards, who had the wisdom to step back from his deepest longings for spiritual revival and speak instead to the simpler, humbler virtues of coming together in dark times.

The guy who wrote “Sinners In the Hands Of An Angry God?” Did Opal ever even read it?

h ttps://www.blueletterbible.org/comm/edwards_jonathan/sermons/sinners.cfm

Natural men’s prudence and care to preserve their own lives, or the care of others to preserve them, do not secure them a moment. To this, divine providence and universal experience do also bear testimony. There is this clear evidence that men’s own wisdom is no security to them from death; that if it were otherwise we should see some difference between the wise and politic men of the world, and others, with regard to their liableness to early and unexpected death: but how is it in fact? .How dieth the wise man? even as the fool..

Stick that in your vaccination record.

As if being gaslighted over birdemic pecks and bizarre accusations of racism were not enough, now the Narrative is telling us how much better life is now that we don’t exercise.

By AP, 9 August 2021

Literally speaking, no. Arcades and rental stores went the way of tech-obsolescence whereas gyms went the way of bureaucratic dictates. Nobody wanted to use the latter; nobody is allowed to use the former.

Going to the gym was always part of Kari Hamra’s routine until last year’s government-ordered shutdowns forced her to replace the workouts with daily rides on her Peloton stationary bike.

That.s when she discovered something surprising . she did not miss the gym. At least not the driving back and forth, filling water bottles, changing clothes and most of all, taking time away from her husband and two boys.

The gaslighting begins. Life is so much better when you don’t go out of your way to exercise! Who needs healthy living when you have Doctor Fauci’s Miracle Cures?

Now that her gym in Springfield, Missouri, is open again, she’s slowly returning. But finding a more convenient exercise schedule at home and seeing a surge of COVID-19 cases in her hometown this summer have her questioning how much she needs the gym. She figures that if there never had been a coronavirus outbreak “I would still be a gym rat.”

And that would be a bad thing..?

The pandemic has reshaped how Americans exercise and upended the fitness industry, accelerating the growth of a new era of high-tech home workout equipment and virtual classes.

Thousands of small fitness centers and studios that were forced to close a year ago now are gone for good. Others are struggling to stay afloat and have redesigned their spaces, turned toward more personal workouts and added online training.

The question is can the they survive the onslaught from the apps and pricey bikes and treadmills or will they go the way of arcades, video rental shops and bookstores.

The question is, will they care enough for their own survival to disobey the State? The market is still there but the market doesn’t want to fast-walk on a treadmill in a plexiglass cage with every air hole stuffed with sweat-absorbing cotton.

News flash, gyms and other small businesses, the government wants your shop closed forever. They’re being smart about it, too. Instead of a one-and-done ban, they’re first bleeding off all your financial strength with false hope. Defy or die, that’s your choice.

Interactive fitness equipment maker Peloton is betting the workout-from-home trend is here to stay.

We won’t be discussing weights, classes, sports or other, actual gym functions today. We will only be discussing stationary bicycles and how it’s perfectly fine, and even cheaper in the long run, to ‘exercise’ in a spare room of your four-bedroom, no-children, remote-work home that has a giant television screen on every wall so you can chat with your friends while burning off the 80 calories from that last that-wasn’t-sugar-y cupcake you just ate. Just like in Fahrenheit 451.

But the men? Like Rodents Of Unusual Size, I don’t think they exist.

Demand surged so much during the pandemic that some Peloton customers had to wait months for their bikes. While the company said the backlog has waned, it reported that sales have continued to soar, up 141% in the first three months of this year.

Company founder and CEO John Foley thinks it’s inevitable that technology-driven home fitness will become dominant much like how streaming services have changed movie watching, calling the idea of going to a gym “a broken model of yesteryear.”

I miss my squat rack and bench press. Got no room in my apartment for that and can’t afford it, either. Everybody was happier when I paid $30/month for access to a power rack, the handball court and pool privileges.

Its next steps include bringing more of its equipment into gyms at hotels, apartment complexes, and college campuses and launching new workouts through its app. Late last year, it acquired Precor, a company with manufacturing and product development sites in the U.S.

“Fitness is one of the few remaining categories that is going to be massively disrupted by a digital experience,” Foley told The Associated Press.

That’s because YOU CANNOT DO FITNESS VIA INTERNET. And it’s hard to do fitness in isolation. Half of the reason for taking a health class is simply so the trainer forces you to do it. The other half is healthy socialization. Looking at YOU, all the girls who signed up for kickboxing class then giggled to each other while I pounded out my sweat on a heavy bag! Thanks for keeping my fees low!

During the early months of the pandemic, most small and independent gyms and studios turned to Zoom and other video platforms for yoga and Pilates classes and training sessions because it was the only way they could connect with their members.

“Now there’s an expectation for it,” said Michael Stack, CEO of Applied Fitness Solutions, which has three fitness centers in southeast Michigan.

No, there’s a NEW NORMAL for it. A very artificial New Normal created by sociopaths, child molesters and banksters who want to imprison us all in our homes, indefinitely, and control us via smartphone apps.

Not all gym operators are convinced virtual training will play a significant role in what they offer.

“We don’t have the budget to do it at the same price and the same quality,” said Jeff Sanders, CEO of Apex Athletic Health Club in Penfield, New York. “Digital is great, but we’ve seen surveys that show people want to stay active, but miss the interaction and being around others.”

His company is planning to open a third, smaller location near Orlando, Florida, that offers a more intimate experience. Those type of boutique studios could be the wave of the future, he said.

Florida is doing awesome because they had the innovative idea of allowing residents to live normal lives.

The pandemic has changed how the fitness industry evaluates itself and right now “everyone.s making decisions just to survive,” Sanders said.

Roughly 9,000 health clubs . 22% of the total nationwide . have closed since the beginning of the virus outbreak and 1.5 million workers lost their jobs, according to the International Health Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

The industry group is lobbying Congress to approve a $30 billion relief fund for the fitness industry because many clubs are struggling to recover from months of lost revenue and membership declines and still owe back rent.

Not only is such welfare immoral, it’s also useless. If the problem is you don’t have income then a one-time cash infusion won’t help.

While more closings are likely this year and could number in the thousands without government help, the emergence of the workout-from-home trend won’t spell doom for the fitness centers, said Helen Durkin, the association’s executive vice president of public policy.

Plenty of exercise fanatics, she said, will still do both . 40% of Peloton users have gym memberships, according to the company.

There’s no doubt digital fitness is here to stay, said Michelle Segar, director of the University of Michigan’s Sport, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center.

“People are integrating their lives with technology. This is where society is, and it’s just going to get more integrated,” she said.

The biggest positives with the virtual training sessions are that they offer more flexibility when it comes to staying with workout routines and can draw more people into fitness, including those who can’t follow a rigid schedule.

“That.s why people don’t stick with it,” she said.

Those are negatives, not positives. Look, I’m a realist. I know why Catholicism is more popular than Protestantism. Most people crave order and routine but at the same time, most need that order imposed upon them from outside. Thus, follow-the-ritual Catholicism is more popular than own-your-faith Protestantism. Similarly, most peoples’ fitness programs do best when the Temple Of Iron is part of their daily routine. A lack of structure is a hardship, not a “convenience”.

Banning people from developing an exercise routine and forcing them to become *more* dependent upon social media is how one destroys their health. People do not naturally behave this way. I would probably be fat and lazy by now, myself, except that my back hurts when I don’t do regular weights.

Pain is an excellent motivator and, I fear, the only thing that will convince Joe Normal to finally push back.

Cindy Cicchinelli, who’s become a dedicated Peloton user after going to her gym in Pittsburgh for years, said the convenience is what has sold her.

“I can roll out of bed and not worry about running to the gym,” she said. “And I don’t have to add an extra half-hour for my commute.”

Funny how life is most convenient when Big Tech can most monitor it.

Fitness industry leaders say research has shown that health clubs pose no more risk of spreading the virus than other public spaces. But San Francisco gym owner Dave Karraker thinks it will be a long time before many people are comfortable going into a big, tightly packed fitness center.

Highlighted the problem for you. Karraker needs to just quit already. SF was pushing injections before Fauci made it cool… banning police from arresting junkies for shooting up in the city parks then running needle-exchange programs pour encourager les autres.

“They are going to be thinking about ventilation and air purifiers and how long ago was this equipment sanitized,” he said.

I admit it! Gyms spread disease! If I wasn’t careful about hand-washing and touching my face then I would get gym crud. Guess how I handled it?

1. Quit exercising and stayed home.

2. Held a press conference to demand more government control of society.

3. Covered my face and didn’t talk to anybody.

4. Took responsibility for my own health and solved the problem with basic hygiene.

He reconfigured MX3 Fitness’s two small studios and created personal workout spaces. It has become so popular he’s looking for a third location.

He.s not surprised that people are coming back even though safety remains a concern.

“They don’t want to live this solitary existence anymore,” he said. “There’s all kinds of motivations. Let’s face facts, gyms are great ways to meet new people, especially if you’re single.”

They WERE great ways to meet new booty calls, I mean, people. Gym bunnies were the only time I saw any woman between ages 18-30 but I could never simp enough to attract one. Too much resentment at them squatting 50lbs in the power rack just to make their butt bulge just right, for hours on end.

Those were the good old days before the government decided we’d be healthier if we didn’t exercise and didn’t have friends.

What I thought was a simple effort to polish the failed turd of Buckley Conservatism morphed into one of the most vile futures yet proposed for the Deep State Global Empire, Inc.

Arthur Herman: How to think like a Viking in the age of COVID

Failure only made the Vikings stronger and wiser

Pretty sure that was “sadder and wiser”. Once again, we couldn’t even get to the article before the facepalms began.

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/opinion/think-like-viking-age-covid-arthur-herman

By Arthur Herman, 4 August 2021

Who dis? Some pink-bottomed poli sci drone being given a tryout for controlled-opposition “influencer” of the 21st Century? *checks* Senior fellow at the Hudson Institute…. He’s a Jesuit-aligned, established academic.

The COVID pandemic has been the great tragedy of our time, not just for America but for the world. In America’s case, however, the pandemic’s wake has exposed a landscape overflowing with other toxins, from mindless lockdowns and defunding the police to Antifa, critical race theory, social media censorship, Big Lies, and fake news.

Americans are ready to hit the reset button. But how?

The Plandemic is not a tragedy, the tyranny of our rulers is not an environmental problem and I’ve never heard of lynching bioterrorists being called a reset button. I don’t believe he is speaking to Joe Normie.

We find ourselves in a chaotic and uncertain world from our city streets and schools to the Delta variant. The old rules no longer apply — the new rules have yet to be written. We navigate these dangerous and volatile seas at our own risk.

This is a Cuckservative speaking to his fellow Cucks about their existential threat: the ‘Murican Empire is failing!

It.s time to think like Vikings. Those formidable sea warriors from Scandinavia learned how to not only survive but thrive in the chaos of postmodern er, Dark Age Europe. They offer us some powerful lessons on how to navigate our post-COVID rapids, and how to renew the American experiment in a fast-moving high-tech age.

1. Learn to see chaos and disruption as opportunity. While Europe was dissolving into chaos after the death of the emperor Charlemagne in 814, the Vikings sought out their enemies. weaknesses and exploited them to the full.

Take a number and get in line, Herman. As in the days of Charlemagne, pirates, thieves and grifters are everywhere in modern life! I really don’t think there’s any room left for you at that table.

Their seaborne approach to warfare was entirely non-linear and seemingly random. This allowed them to take advantage of uncertainty in order to strike where they were least expected, with the force necessary to decide the issue.

In other words, the Vikings. shock and awe tactics relied on the volatility of the Dark Age ecosystem to generate opportunities: first to raid and plunder, eventually to trade and exchange goods with their former enemies.

Behold Magic Dirt! They set foot in the British Isles to loot the place and just like Jewish banksters, quickly become model citizens on their new land!

The relentless rollout of new technologies from AI and machine learning to quantum and nanotechnology, for example, offers myriad opportunities for today’s Viking-minded American entrepreneurs: but only if we give up thinking that stability is safety, or that uncertainty will be the exception not the rule.

All Progress Is Good Progress! You didn’t really want that quietly prosperous land of traditions and families! Embrace the New Normal of robbing the innocent in the dead of night!

2. Stop worrying about past mistakes and errors. It didn’t matter how many battles the Vikings lost, what mattered was winning the final one. Failure only made them stronger and wiser.

You can see how I first thought this was an effort to whitewash Buckley Conservatism.

The Norse sagas are filled with characters who make bad choices such as choosing the wrong spouse…

I was unable to verify if Herman is divorced.

…or antagonizing the wrong king or fighting on the losing side…Human beings are made to fail, and to learn from their mistakes. The secret is keeping the mistakes small and reversible; then opportunities to renew our fortunes present themselves as the tempting booty for the future.

“Present themselves as the tempting booty for the future”? Conservatism’s century-long unbroken losing streak was a disturbingly appropriate context for that sentiment.

3. Keep it small and agile: be “the tip of the spear.”

The disturbingly homoerotic images of conquest continue.

Probably no military in history had a shorter logistical chain; a longship with 20 or 40 warriors on board was all it took for a Danish or Norwegian or Swedish chieftain to “go Viking.”

That was piracy, not military.

The first significant Viking raid on the English coast at Portland in 783 consisted of only three ships. But because the Norsemen were non-linear in their planning and operations; and because they were free to appear suddenly wherever they pleased and where their opponents never imagined they could strike (like deep upriver from the sea) until it was too late; the Vikings were able to turn their relatively small numbers into a powerful advantage.

Sure, Goober. All you have to do is find an undefended New World ripe for the picking, and then you’ll be SMART and leave as many allies behind as possible.

Wait a minute, is… is Herman advocating for American foreign policy to LITERALLY practice piracy upon the world? Medical-lockdown everybody then raid the newly-isolated communities? Gather a trusted few of your Deep State cronies and loot some unsuspecting backwater of its last drop of wealth using insider information?

Say it ain’t so.

The same will be true in post-COVID America. We’ve learned “too big to fail” is the formula for catastrophic failure. The key to success is staying lean but scalable, so that a series of agile wins can open new opportunities and horizons.

“Too big to fail” means the ‘Murican Empire. The world has learned to hate us and as they adopted our telecommunications, we Normie Americans began to realize that the reason we couldn’t see that our government is a global rapist is because it kept two sets of books. The Deep State used our tax money to spy upon the world’s secrets, used our military as a private security force for top bidders, financial strip-miners and the all-important petrodollar and then kept all its plunder in offshore banking accounts.

USA never felt like an empire, not on the inside. We were neither its targets nor its beneficiaries. Foreign headlines just kinda happened. Then the Internet gave us unfiltered foreign perspectives and guess what, half the world’s problems… from expansionist China to ISIS to Afghan opium… are the direct, intended results of our own government meddling where it should not have ever been.

Herman wants Con-servatism to shift gears from imperialism to plain old smash & grabs. Like a Viking!

4. Build the team you can rely on and reward them accordingly. Viking raids were “friends and family” affairs, in which the chieftain loaded his long ships with kith and kin whose loyalty was unquestioned while both men and women shared the risks but also shared the plunder (recent DNA evidence shows that Viking women sometimes even led expeditions).

That.s why Vikings were willing to sail to the unknown corners of the earth including America: they were surrounded by people they knew they could count on.

If nobody but your family wants to work with you then maybe that’s because you murder your neighbors. Like a Viking!

Whether it’s founding a business, a restaurant, a church, or an advocacy group fighting CRT…

…or plundering natural resources via bribes to the local warlord, or drone-striking Iran because Israel said frog…

…find your own loyal and trustworthy team, people with whom you.d be ready to row across the Atlantic.and who understand there’s no real success unless everyone shares in the rewards.

So says the pirate code from the Golden Age of Sailing.

5. Leadership belongs to the strong. In the Viking world strong meant those who were proven in battle. Credentials and inherited status counted for little; big promises even less.

Loyalty devolved on those who were able to deliver tangible success whether it was on the battlefield, in trade deals with Greeks or Arabs or Frenchmen, or later replacing the discredited pagan gods of old with the new creed of Christianity.

Herman promises his loyalty to whoever will share their worldly success with him… together with an implicit offer of changing his religion in order to back the strong horse. Ah, loyalty, that greatest of virtues best found in others!

Leadership in our post-COVID world will likewise gravitate to those strong enough to point America in new directions, with proven results. Whether it’s politics or business or renewing our schools and our culture, the Vikings can put us on the right path to making America strong again, and ready for the next great venture into the unknown.

No, this isn’t the latest Blacks Looting Minneapolis rally. It’s a Scrooge in need of karma.

After decades in woods, New Hampshire man forced from cabin

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/us/new-hampshire-man-forced-from-cabin-decades

By AP, 4 August 2021

CANTERBURY, N.H. . For almost three decades, 81-year-old David Lidstone has lived in the woods of New Hampshire along the Merrimack River in a small cabin adorned with solar panels. He has grown his own food, cut his own firewood, and tended to his cat and chickens.

But his off-the-grid existence appears to be at risk.

“River Dave,” as he’s known by boaters and kayakers, is behind bars after being accused of squatting for 27 years on private property in Canterbury.

The woodlot Lidstone calls home is just a few miles away from Interstate 93. But it’s hidden by the trees; it’s on 73 acres that’s been used for timber harvests. The property has been owned by the same family since 1963. There are no plans at this time to develop it.

Definitely a Man Going His Own way, although there’s no indication he ever used the term.

Lidstone has claimed that years ago, the owner gave his word . but nothing in writing . allowing him to live there. But in the eyes of the current owner, he’s a squatter and needs to go.

Either the property has been recently sold or inherited by a relative. Not sure.

Property owner Leonard Giles, 86, of South Burlington, Vermont, didn’t even know Lidstone was there…

An out-of-town owner of a lumber property. The stormclouds build.

…until the town administrator found out in 2015 and told him, expressing concern “with regard to the solid and septic waste disposal and the potential zoning violations created by the structure,” according to Giles. complaint in 2016.

“Hey, did you know there’s a guy keeping to himself on YOUR property? And if you don’t get rid of him, we can sue you for all kinds of bureaucratic violations?” I have trouble believing that he was not disposing of his waste properly… for three decades without anybody noticing.

As the owner of the land seeks to tear down the cabin, Lidstone has been jailed since July 15 on a civil contempt sanction.

And so wealthy Mr. Giles went to town, so to speak, on a nowhere man.

“You came with your guns, you arrested me, brought me in here, you’ve got all my possessions. You keep .em,” he told a judge at a hearing Wednesday. “I.ll sit here with your uniform on until I rot, sir.”

Well said, Nowhere Man. Although in his case, he’s literally got nowhere to go if they burn his home down.

Jodie Gedeon, an avid kayaker who befriended Lidstone about 20 years ago, is working with other supporters to help him, including organizing a petition drive and collecting money to cover property taxes.

“He.s just a really, really, big caring guy, and just chooses to live off the grid,” she said. “It really is about humanity, it really is about compassion, empathy … he’s not hurting anybody.”

Some additional info, Lidstone is an Air Force veteran with no criminal record until he was locked up on the contempt charge. While I love property rights as much as anybody, all indicators are that Lidstone should have been permitted an exception. But them’s not the RULES!

Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Andrew Schulman agreed that Lidstone isn’t hurting anyone, but said the law is clearly on the landowner’s side.

“You’re doing your own thing in the “Live Free or Die” state, so there’s a lot of sympathy to you for that,” he said. “But there’s a lot of weight on the other side of the balance sheet, and not just about what the (landowner) wants to do with the land, but the weight I feel to uphold the judgment of the court and the rule of law.”

I’m undecided how much of this is Giles being petty or uncaring bureaucrats threatpointing a conflict.

“We.ve got to recognize the fact that this was a managed woodlot, with income which is supposed to support my elderly client in his retirement. At some point, how far is he supposed to go in order to turn his woodlot into a habitable lot for somebody else who’s there trespassing?” said attorney Lisa Snow Wade. “He just wants his land back.”

Is this lawyered-up out-of-stater going to miss a meal if Lidstone gets to remain home a last few years? Have a heart, man.

Lidstone, who doesn’t have an attorney, insisted his cabin is a hunting and fishing camp, not a home.

Obviously not true, if he lives there 24-7 with no other established residence or even…

“Why do you need a road to it? Do you think I’m an idiot? You’re going to put a septic tank in for a hunting camp?” he said.

…access to the outside world.

While I don’t know New Hampshire law, he probably had a good case for squatter’s rights. Claiming it’s a camp not a home torpedoed that possibility, however.

He also argued that Giles doesn’t own the property but is being pressured by the town.

Also not true. If Giles didn’t own the property then how would that Vermonter’s name even come up?

“He.s a heck of a nice old man, I’ve talked with him a couple of times. This is not his fault, this is not my fault,” he said. “It.s lying, cheating corrupt judges like you that are stepping on little people like me. But I’m telling you, sir, you step on me, I’m going to bite your ankle.”

Hence the contempt charge. Definitely a Man Going His Own Way. Kudos to Lidstone for being a good sport towards Giles but hold that ‘nice old man’ thought. This goes ugly, fast.

Currently, Lidstone can be released if one of three things happen: he agrees to leave, the cabin is demolished by Giles, or 30 days have passed since he was jailed. Another hearing will be held next week.

Fire burns cabin of New Hampshire man jailed after nearly 3 decades in the woods

Blaze comes amid legal dispute between landowner and longtime squatter

h ttps://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-hampshire-man-forced-from-his-cabin-and-jailed-after-nearly-3-decades-in-the-woods-01628095121

Also 4 August 2021

[His] off-the-grid existence has been challenged in court by a property owner who says he’s been squatting for all those years. And to make Lidstone’s matters worse, his cabin was burned to the ground Wednesday in a blaze that local authorities are investigating.

No need to investigate. Giles arsoned Lidstone’s cabin while he was in jail for the first time in his life, to get rid of him permanently.

You may wonder why I was so bold with that accusation. Simple, Giles didn’t commit a crime. There was a building on his land and he torched it. That’s no crime. When you read about somebody getting arrested for burning their property down, that’s only because they endangered their neighbors or filed for insurance money. You are allowed to destroy what is yours and possession is 90% of the law.

Lidstone could attempt a civil case since he was the one who built the cabin but not when he’s essentially penniless with no record of ownership. Also, if his belongings had already been moved out and town officials were already breathing threats against him for crimes against The System.

If it wasn’t Giles then it WAS crime-arson and somebody will go to jail for a long time. Nobody else stands to benefit that much.

There’s a possibility… since we’re talking about a “nice old man”… that Giles even did it at Lidstone’s request so he could get out of jail before the 30 days were up and, well, move along. Lidstone doesn’t strike me as a quitter but he does have a brother and a couple sons, reportedly of modest means and understandably out of touch with him.

I can’t call Giles a black heart without knowing if Lidstone consented. There’s plenty enough hate to be directed at the petty, nameless bureaucrats who incited this conflict because they couldn’t leave a harmless old man alone.

At least he has family to fall back on. Regardless, it’s the end of an era for a self-made man.

First she wanted equality. Now she wants equity. Because what Bridezilla truly wanted… is the wallet without the hairy wrapper and his expectations for a lifetime together. Mr. Blue Pill, your margin is calling!

My girlfriend has $20 million. I’m worth $1 million. Should she pay for big-ticket items like her engagement ring and our honeymoon?

.While it’s obvious I’m the one with limited means, the norm is for me to pick up the tab on dates and weekend getaways.

By Quentin Fottrell

Some moments in life are pass/fail. This is one of those.

Dear Quentin,

My girlfriend has a net worth of around $20 million and, well, let’s just say I don’t. Luckily for me, she truly loves me, and we hope to get married someday. Although we would have a prenup, she has concerns that I will limit our lifestyle in the future.

No-no-noooo!!! Men still fall for that?! “But she pwommished meeee!”

She makes about $350,000 a year . not including six-figure bonuses. I make $225,000 a year with bonuses and overtime. I have around $1 million in net worth including cash, retirement savings and home equity. Aside from separate mortgages, neither of us have any other real debts.

We both have teenage children. I am still trying to save for my two girls. future college expenses, and her son’s education will be paid by a family trust. Also, her son is accustomed to finer things, while I often buy used stuff for my kids and make them do chores to earn their small allowance.

We are both 50 years old and would like to retire by 60, if possible. Of course, she could easily retire now, but she actually enjoys her work. On the other hand, my job is stressful and exhausting, but I’m able to save about 20% of my gross each year.

Unfortunately, without a willingness to compromise on her part…

We could stop reading here but then we’d miss out on the fun.

…an unexpected windfall for me or some other unexpected change, I’m not sure how to navigate the situation. We are very transparent about our finances and, while it’s obvious I’m the one with limited means, the norm is for me to pick up the tab on dates and weekend getaways.

She wants a fancy wedding, and also thinks I should pay half as a symbol of my love and commitment to her. Between that, an expensive ring and the honeymoon, I will easily deplete my cash reserves if I say yes.

Go for it, dude, because half of those twenty million dollars will be yours in the inevitable divorce. Equality!

Finally, she says that she’s worked hard and saved all of her life and is no longer willing to sacrifice financially. That said, we always end our discussions with a reassuring statement that it’s not a dealbreaker, and that we are both committed to figuring it out.

I.m a bit old-fashioned and love the chivalrous position of picking up the tab, but shouldn’t she just plan to cover the big-ticket items like a plush wedding and honeymoon, extravagant retirement expenses and other posh desires? Or is our relationship just doomed?

The One Million-Dollar Man

The primary Christian answer is that she gives all $20M to her new husband along with the trust funds and all future paychecks, and he does whatever he wants with the money in perpetuity… treating her kindly as the weaker partner in the marriage.

The backup Christian answer is to not get in the way of that imminent train wreck and save yourself. He’s already decided to marry her and wrote for advice in order to have somebody-not-Mommy to blame… the one request he’s willing to honor from that whimpering dissident voice of sanity in the back of his little head.

But which answer will Mr. Fottrell choose? The Equality answer of “she has the money and wants it, so she pays for it” or the Equity answer of “it’s his fault”? (It’s no wonder that the Narrative has fully abandoned ‘equality’.)

Dear One Million,

Agree on a wedding and a honeymoon that you can both afford, and split the costs 50/50. If she would like to upgrade some aspects of the wedding or honeymoon, you can have separate discussions about that. Some of the least memorable weddings I have attended were in five-star hotel ballrooms. Hell is a champagne reception with awkward small talk and stuffy wait staff who smile like they want to be anywhere but there. I have also attended fun, beautiful and memorable weddings that cost just a few thousand dollars that were held in a town hall with long wooden tables, streamers, flowers, and drinks in the backyard with a mobile gin bar.

Excellent choice, Mister Fottrell! The backup Christian answer! There’s no way that Bridezilla would consent to don’t-do-Bridezilla advice so Mr. Fottrell will be officially off the hook when the who-did-this-divorce blame game goes around.

As no doubt you are aware, what we believe to be prerequisites for engagement rings today were spun by the marketing genius of jewelry and diamond companies in the first half of the 20th century. The popularity of diamond engagement rings is traced back to the .A Diamond is Forever. campaign by the DeBeers diamond company, who trademarked the sentiment. It was written by copywriter Frances Gerety in 1947. There are many other precious stones to choose from, including none at all. No marriage should founder on a rock.

EXCELLENT, Mr. Fottrell! “Dude, please wake up… you don’t really need all this expensive shit that she’s demanding… but I can’t say that out loud so here’s a totally unrelated history lesson…”

One word of warning. The bigger the wedding, the shorter the marriage, according to this study released by researchers at the Department of Economics at Emory University in Atlanta. They examined the association between wedding spending and marriage duration using data from a survey of over 3,000 people in the U.S. who got married. Couples who spent $20,000 on their wedding . excluding the cost of the ring . were 46% more likely than average to get divorced; that risk fell to 29% higher than average for those who spend $10,000 to $20,000.

I started this piece expecting to snark at the official answer but must give credit, Fottrell did very well indeed.

These are important conversations to be had now, and it’s a good sign that you are both open to having them.

AND he twisted the knife at the end! Haha!

It’s fascinating to witness the depth of female scorn for male sexual have-nots. Equally fascinating to witness the FBI shamelessly politicize everything it does.

This guy Tres Genco was only recently arrested so normally, I would wait for the rest of the story to come out. Turns out, however, that the mass murder he was about to commit was back in March 2020 so there’s already been time for a picture to emerge!

An Ohio man who is a self-proclaimed “incel” was charged by a grand jury for an alleged plot to conduct a mass shooting on a number of female university students, the Department of Justice announced on Wednesday.

Tres Genco, 21, is charged with one count of attempting to commit a hate crime, which is punishable by up to life in prison because it involved an alleged intent to kill. He is also charged with one count of illegally possessing a machine gun, which is punishable by up to 10 years, the DOJ said in a statement.

A 21yo purchased a machine gun, uploaded his manifesto and criminal confession to social media, prepared to slaughter thousands of women who refused to touch his wee-wee despite never actually meeting him and was caught just in the nick of time by the courageous and vigilant FBI! Yeah, no. This narrative is going to fall apart faster than a knit sweater from the dollar store.

Here’s the DOJ statement.

21 July 2021

A federal grand jury has charged a self-identified “incel” with attempting to conduct a mass shooting of women and with illegally possessing a machine gun.

Tres Genco, 21, of Hillsboro, Ohio, allegedly plotted to commit a hate crime, namely, a plan to shoot students in sororities at a university in Ohio. He was arrested by federal agents today.

Arrested in July 2021… but the grand jury charged him in June 2020.

Grand jury indicts 30

Panel convenes for first time since March 3

h ttps://www.timesgazette.com/news/48856/grand-jury-indicts-30

2 June 2020

A Highland County grand jury assembled for the first time in three months Tuesday, rendering indictments against 30 individuals with over half of the indictments being drug related.

Daniel L. Richards, 45, Leesburg, was indicted on a third-degree felony charge of gross sexual imposition. The indictment alleges that on or about Jan. 1, 2019 and continuing through March 19, 2020 he had sexual contact with an underage child.

Tres P. Genco, 20, Hillsboro, faces a charge of making a terroristic threat between Aug. 1, 2019 and March 25, 2020, and if convicted, would forfeit ownership of a 2009 Audi TT that the indictment alleged was instrumental in the commission of the crime.

I guess that was the local grand jury, not a Federal? But why would it take another year to take this case Federal? And what’s this about his car?

COLUMBUS, Ohio . When Tres Genco’s mother called sheriff’s deputies to her Highland County home last year . she told them her son was out of control.

On March 12, 2020, Highland County sheriff’s deputies responded to a Hillsboro home where Genco’s mother claimed her son had threatened to “take care of her” and heard him cock a gun.

Locked in his room, a sheriff’s report obtained by 10TV News details how deputies convinced Genco to come out of his home unarmed.

Well done, *LOCAL* law enforcement!

Through questioning him and conducting a search warrant, deputies later discovered an AR-15 with a bump-stock in Genco’s black Audi, along with additional items in his home . including firearms, ammo, body armor, and “disturbing writings that appeared to (be) plans Tres had of committing a mass shooting at OSU Medical in Columbus (sic) Ohio on May 23, 2020,. according to a sheriff’s report obtained by 10TV News.

The “machine gun” that you’ll hear about in every mainstream account of Genco… was a rifle with a bump stock.

Ironically, a Federal appeals court in Ohio ruled in March 2021 that Trump’s bump-stock ban is unlawful. This offense occurring a year earlier, however, means Genco can still be charged with “owning a machine gun”.

What local authorities discovered in March 2020 turned into a federal indictment this week – accusing of Tres Genco of plotting to conduct a mass shooting of women on a university campus in Ohio.

If the FBI did anything about Genco prior to last month’s bothering to arrest him, it was grooming him for use as a windup toy:

During his questioning by investigators with the Highland County Sheriff’s Office, Genco was questioned about a trip he took to Greece in August of 2019, his writings on hotel stationery, joining the Army months later and whether “joining the military was needed to carry out the attack on OSU..

According to a summary of the interview with investigators, Tres told deputies he was .F#$^ing stupid for talking. to authorities without a lawyer but claimed that he was not a terrorist and dismissed his writings as done out of “possible boredom or depression..

Greece? I couldn’t find anything more, alas, but this is sounding very much like the FBI trolled the Incel forums looking for a violent loser and upon finding one, began winding him up… until his mother involved local authorities before he could be popped.

End segues

Genco identified as an “incel” or “involuntary celibate.” The incel movement is an online community of predominantly men who harbor anger towards women. Incels seek to commit violence in support of their belief that women unjustly deny them sexual or romantic attention to which they believe they are entitled.

That is not an accurate or honest description of the incel community. The author can believe this if he wants but here, it’s a formal accusation of guilt-by-association.

According to the indictment, Genco maintained profiles on a popular incel website from at least July 2019 through mid-March 2020. Genco was a frequent poster on the site.

The boldfaced cannot be true because four months of that was Army basic training. I don’t think their standards have fallen enough for recruits to have unfiltered Internet access with which to publicly call themselves delusional murderers on FBI-monitored forums.

In one post, Genco allegedly detailed spraying “some foids and couples” with orange juice in a water gun. “Foids” is an incel term short for .femoids,. referring to women. According to the charging document, Genco compared his “extremely empowering action” to similar conduct by known incel, Elliot Rodger. In May 2014, Rodger killed six people and injured 14 others, including shooting individuals outside a University of California, Santa Barbara sorority house. Prior to his mass attack, Rodger shot a group of college students with orange juice from a water gun.

This was my first tip-off to check for false flagging. Nobody believes that Elliot Rodger was the Martin Luther of the Incel movement except the FBI. I maintain my theory, that Rodger was homosexual and did his killings in frustration that his would-be lovers preferred chicks to dicks. That would explain the Narrative’s need to reinvent him as not just an Incel but the King of Incels.

No accounts have yet surfaced of that alleged OJ squirting.

Genco also allegedly wrote a manifesto, stating he would “slaughter” women “out of hatred, jealousy and revenge.. and referring to death as the “great equalizer.” As part of this investigation, law enforcement agents discovered a note of Genco’s that indicated he hoped to “aim big” for a kill count of 3,000 people and intended to attend military training. Searches of Genco’s electronics revealed that the day he wrote his manifesto, he searched online for sororities and a university in Ohio.

It is alleged that in 2019, Genco purchased tactical gloves, a bulletproof vest, a hoodie bearing the word .revenge,. cargo pants, a bowie knife, a skull facemask, two Glock 17 magazines, a 9mm Glock 17 clip and a holster clip concealed carry for a Glock.

None of that is cause for alarm. Um… where’s the Glock? Didn’t he got a Glock at the same time as the rest of that stuff? Or was a ‘friend’ going to give him a special one?

Genco attended Army Basic Training at Ft. Benning, Georgia, from August through December 2019.

Genco publicly announces on social media, in a forum notoriously scrutinized by Feds, that he’s going to murder a bunch of women, then buys Glock stuff and joins the Army to get the sacred, secret ninja knowledge of how to kill people with a machine gun.

One thing I’ve picked up on, watching the lies and liars, is to pay attention to who the lie is being told to. The general public is supposed to hear “he was a sexless Incel loser”. The reason for the military training angle, however, is to convince Federal authorities who aren’t insiders. They have the preconceived notion of “bitter, armed veteran” and Genco having barely graduated from Basic under curious circumstances is enough to confirm that preconception.

The first rule of lying is to tell people what they want to hear.

It should go without saying that basic military training does little to make a man into a proficient killer. Frankly, it would be more plausible in today’s Army if Incels signed up hoping to get a turn with the Mattress Girls. The odds are excellent if you don’t mind being the fifth one in.

In January 2020, Genco allegedly wrote a document entitled “Isolated” that he described as “the writings of the deluded and homicidal.” Genco signed the document, .Your hopeful friend and murderer..

Sounds like the author of that manifesto wanted it to be as incriminating as possible.

The charging document claims Genco conducted surveillance at an Ohio university on Jan. 15, 2020. That same day, he allegedly searched online for topics including “how to plan a shooting crime” and “when does preparing for a crime become attempt?.

Seriously? “Alexa, help me plan a mass murder.” “The FBI suggests you be photographed wandering around the local college campus.”

On March 12, 2020, local police officers responded to Genco’s residence in Highland County. At the residence, in the trunk of Genco’s vehicle, police officers found, among other things, firearm with a bump stock attached, several loaded magazines, body armor and boxes of ammunition. Inside the residence, police officers found a Glock-style 9mm semiautomatic pistol, with no manufacturer’s marks or serial number, hidden in a heating vent in Genco’s bedroom.

I was right, he *did* get a special Glock from a friend! He was about to secretly acquire a ‘ghost gun’ then traceably purchased all the stuff that goes with it… Genco must be dumber than a sack of bricks.

Genco is charged with one count of attempting to commit a hate crime which, because it involved an attempt to kill, is punishable by up to life in prison and one count of illegally possessing a machine gun which is punishable by up to 10 years.

Let’s get into his biographical/social media history.

Who is Tres Genco? Ohio ‘incel’, 21, allegedly wanted to kill over 3,000 women in mass shooting

h ttps://meaww.com/tres-genco-ohio-incel-arrested-university-attack-manifesto

By Srivats Lakshman, 21 July 2021

The same day that the FBI arrested him? That’s too fast to be honest journalism.

The 21-year-old is a resident of Hillsboro, Ohio. Beyond the Department of Justice press release, little is known about Genco. The DoJ says he attended Army Basic Training in Georgia from August to December 2019 but was discharged for entry-level performance and conduct. He does have an Instagram and Twitter account, but they don’t appear to be frequently used. On Instagram for instance, Genco has only a handful of pictures.

Not suspicious at all, that his social media presence amounted to little more than self-incriminations of Federal-level hate crimes.

Can my veteran readers say what “entry-level performance and conduct” means?

Based on his Twitter account bio, Genco studied at Ohio University and appears to have an interest in computer science. His Twitter account is filled with retweets about computers linked to brain functions, a niche area of research recently made popular by Elon Musk’s company Neuralink. We found a Facebook page that belongs to Genco, which says he is originally from Santa Cruz, California. The account states he currently lives in Chillicothe and started studying at Ohio University in February 2021.

STATEMENT REGARDING ARREST OF TRES GENCO

h ttps://www.ohio.edu/news/2021/07/statement-regarding-arrest-tres-genco

As has been widely reported in the media, on July 21, 2021 the FBI arrested an Ohio resident, Tres Genco, on federal charges stemming from an alleged plan to conduct a mass shooting at a university in Ohio. The Ohio University Police Department (OUPD) is also aware of posts on Genco’s social media sites asserting that he is a student at Ohio University; however, Genco is not now, nor ever has been, enrolled at OHIO.

OUPD conferred with the FBI prior to Genco’s arrest and despite his social media posts, there was no indication that Genco planned to target Ohio University.

End segue

The FBI found a note saying Genco hoped to “aim big” for a kill count of 3,000 people, and even referenced the same day as Rodger’s attack. He also wrote a chilling manifesto, claiming he would “slaughter” women “out of hatred, jealousy, and revenge” and referring to death as the “great equalizer.” The same day he wrote the manifesto, he allegedly searched for sororities and a university in Ohio.

A chilling manifesto that nobody is allowed to actually read. I hate that. It’s the legal equivalent of “Of course he’s guilty but you need to take my word for it”. On the occasions when my true-crime interest has gained access to such manifestos and writings, well, they don’t inspire copycats if you take my meaning.

Two chilling manifestos, apparently. This is the best I can do:

h ttps://www.stripes.com/branches/army/2021-07-22/tres-genco-army-recruit-incel-mass-shooting-2224693.html

In August 2019, Genco allegedly drafted a manifesto titled, .A Hideous Symphony a manifesto written by Tres Genco, the socially exiled Incel,” in which he detailed how his plans to join the military would contribute to his violent plans, according to the Justice Department.

.I would hope these words resonate in sweet familiarity to fellow incels, either cognizant of their situation or not,. Genco wrote. .I am already set to go into the U.S. Army. this training will be for the attainment of one reality, the death of what I have been deprived most, but also cherish and fantasize at the opportunity of having but has been neglected of; Women. I will slaughter out of jealousy, hatred, and revenge. I will take away the power of life that they withhold from me, by showing there is more than just happiness and fulfillment, there is all encompassing death, the great equalizer that will bear all of us into its seductively calm velvet of silence and serenity..

Either Genco is lacking in the IQ department or his FBI case officer didn’t bother to make it sound like something a functional person might say.

That same month, Genco began Army Basic Training in Georgia. However, he was discharged from the Army in December 2019 for poor performance and conduct, according to the indictment.

In January 2020, Genco allegedly wrote a another document entitled “Isolated” that he described as “the writings of the deluded and homicidal” and signed it as “Your hopeful friend and murderer,. authorities said.

Delusional people are not usually so careful to self-incriminate.

I can believe that Genco has severe personality defects that make him legitimately interesting to police. I cannot believe that the FBI acted in good faith. Timeline:

August 2019: “I’m a sexless loser and I’m gonna kill people!” written on hotel stationary in Greece.

August-Dec 2019 *military basic training*

January 2020: “I can’t wait to kill people now that the Army said I’m not soldier material! So angry!”

March 2020: Mother calls police on him for acting bizarre. Police talk him down and investigate.

June 2020: Grand jury indictment.

July 2021: FBI sounds the alarm and swoops in to stop the “terrorist”. Mainstream media outlets everywhere begin screaming about the barely averted bloodbath.

Everything about this is false-flag. Multiple manifestos offering lurid excerpts but with the full contents kept secret… bump-stock “machine guns” with a “ghost gun” chaser… a college student that the college never knew about… plotting a mass murder over a year old at the time of his arrest, with confusion about who exactly was targeted… perp is the barest definition of a “bitter veteran” possible… social media was almost nothing but easily accessible threats of violence… it’s like Trey Genco’s story was designed for maximum up-front emotional appeal. Somebody was working an audience.

Which leaves me with my final question: Why now? Why does the FBI want to be in the limelight now? This is always a difficult question because what I think is politically important, is rarely what the fart-sniffing, foreign-agent bureaucrats in Swampland think is important. Budget season is always a good guess… let’s see what Congress is about to vote on…

H.R.4505 – Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022

Introduced 19 July 2021 so the timing is excellent… it addresses funding for the Justice Dept….

Federal Bureau Of Investigation, salaries and expenses

For necessary expenses of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for detection, investigation, and prosecution of crimes against the United States, $10,219,858,000, of which not to exceed $216,900,000 shall remain available until expended: Provided, That $5,000,000 shall be for the Corruption/Civil Rights Section for additional expenses relating to the enforcement of section 210401 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (34 U.S.C. 12601), criminal enforcement under sections 241 and 242 of title 18, United States Code, and administrative enforcement by the Department of Justice, including compliance with consent decrees or judgements entered into under such section 210401: Provided further, That not to exceed $284,000 shall be available for official reception and representation expenses.

I guess five million bucks is a good reason… no, Section 210401 refers to juvenile crime and Genco was 19 when this story started.

State And Local Justice Activities: Office On Violence Against Women: violence against women prevention and prosecution programs

(including transfer of funds)

Hello, darling!

For grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, and other assistance for the prevention and prosecution of violence against women, as authorized by [redacted for brevity], and for related victims services, $753,800,000, to remain available until expended… That of the amount provided.

$5M is good but >$360M is better. An incel plotting hate-motivated violence against a sorority of college women checks a lot of these funding boxes, now doesn’t he?

But I could easily be wrong. In this modern gynocracy, any excuse to hate unattractive men is valuable. And hard to honestly come by.
