This would not work for a smarter sex, if that smarter sex would just ignore its little head.

New NASA radiation standards for astronauts seen as leveling field for women

By Anil OzaJun, 29 June 2021

A blue-ribbon panel has endorsed NASA.s plans to revise its standard for exposing astronauts to radiation in a way that would allow women to spend more time in space.

“If it’s not safe for women to be astronauts then we need to redefine ‘safety’.” Thus disproving any correlation between education and wisdom.

A report by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released on 24 June encourages NASA to proceed with its plans to adopt a new standard that limits all astronauts to 600 millisieverts of radiation over their career. The current limit is the amount of radiation that correlates with a 3% increase in the risk of dying from a cancer caused by radiation exposure.a standard that favored men and older astronauts whose cancer risk from radiation was lower. The proposed standard would limit all astronauts to the allowable dosage for a 35-year-old woman.

Segue

h ttps://www.technologyreview.com/2021/06/30/1027445/nasa-space-radiation-astronaut-missions-women/

This means that at the low end [of the 3% standard], a 30-year-old woman could be exposed to no more than 180 mSv throughout her career; at the upper limit, a 60-year-old man could endure up to 700 mSv before being grounded.

End segue

The future of female empowerment never glowed so brightly. Not dying of radiation sickness is male privilege!

The changes are in line with current data and puts women on an equal footing, says Hedvig Hricak, [age 75,] a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and chair of the committee that wrote the report. .There’s no evidence for significant gender difference in the radiation exposure, and associated risk of cancer,. she says.

Her pic is textbook Karen. Her lies are textbook feminist.

The new standard comes as NASA gears up for renewed exploration of the Moon and, eventually, a mission to Mars. The change should remove gender from the list of factors used to decide who gets chosen for those missions, says Paul Locke, an environmental health expert at Johns Hopkins University who was not on the committee. .Women will not be penalized because they are, under the old model, at higher risk,. he says.

They had to go outside NASA to find an expert who sees no problem with confining men and women in zero privacy for months on end on a dangerous trip lasting longer than nine months. I’m not even talking pregnancy, I’m talking about men going for a walk without a space suit just to end the nagging.

Francis Cucinotta, a biophysicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, doesn’t agree with the report’s backing of a single dosage level. Instead, the former chief scientist for NASA.s radiation program thinks equity should come in the form of equal risk rather than equal dosages of radiation.

.[It] sounds like they’re just going to ignore the science and try to make it comfortable for everybody,. Cucinotta says, arguing that age, sex, and race affect an individual’s risk of developing cancer and should be factors when determining the amount of time astronauts can spend in space. .When they’re selected to be astronauts, there’s a lot of things where it’s not equal.it.s based on performance capability. But they’re not applying that model here..

Cucinotta would stick with the 3% increase in the risk of dying of cancer. For a Mars mission, which is expected to expose astronauts to 1000 millisieverts, he proposes raising that maximum risk to 5% after conducting research on countermeasures and weighing genetic markers that lower an astronaut’s risk of developing cancer.

He’s both correct and smart enough to frame his objection in terms of equity rather than “this is stupid”-style mansplaining. *sigh* Like me.

Although a mission to Mars is not planned for another decade, NASA also wants to improve how it tells astronauts about the risks. In particular, the agency proposed using a stoplight, color-coded system.using green for those at lowest risk, yellow for those with higher risk, and red for those that would exceed the lifetime radiation limit. Any astronaut on a mission expected to exceed the proposed limit would be asked to sign a waiver.

Is radiation exposure not already covered under the “let’s strap you to a pile of explosives built by the lowest bidder, light that candle and see what happens” waiver?

Ann Bostrom, a risk communication expert at the University of Washington, Seattle, who served on the committee, worries such a system may not be able to convey such complex information. .Sometimes if it’s too simplistic, it causes people to overlook nuances that they would otherwise see,. Bostrom says. .So [NASA] really needs to test this..

That makes two women who served on the committee to redefine safety so that women could pretend to be men. I want a group photo. *checks* Heavily paywalled, but this link to the first chapter…

8 of 16 are female AFAIK. None of them are employed by NASA but Georgetown and Harvard are represented. Here’s the Georgetown chick, Alejandra Hurtado De Mendoza:

Before & after what, I’m not sure. Left pic is Linkedin, right pic is researchgate. Maybe there’s two different AHdeMs? I’ve started to get paranoid about using Linkedin.

Cucinotta and others worry astronauts don’t have the perspective to make an informed decision to accept the likely health risks of their next mission. But Scott Kelly, [a former astronaut that spent nearly an entire year in space,] who was exposed to 240 millisieverts of radiation during his 20-year career.which translates to a 1.4% increase in his risk of developing cancer.pushes back.

.There are so many factors in whether you get a fatal disease,. he says. .You’re accepting a lot of other risks by flying in space, and this one is not the biggest..

This is not about risk. This is about female empowerment. This is girls wanting to play with the boys and the boys lying to her about the consequences in order to appease her… exactly Original Sin. But not to worry! Experts are developing a brave new form of birth control to help women handle the additional risk that doesn’t exist!

…Which will protect womens’ reproductive organs from both hard radiation and accidental groping from lonely men not allowed to use porn. News flash, tits: if you’re going to Mars then your reproductive organs are no longer needed. Indeed, the last thing you want is to have a baby upon reaching orbit. It’s about a nine-month trip, yes?

That’s the Astrorad radiation shield, if you’re interested. Not the military preggo-simulation aid for men. Remember, as quoted above by the chairwoman, .There’s no evidence for significant gender difference in the radiation exposure, and associated risk of cancer,” But the space community developed the Boobie Rad Shield anyway because reasons.

I close with an article from the Atlantic on Scott Kelly. Turns out, he has a twin brother astronaut and was intentionally kept in space to study the consequences of long-term weightlessness. Which involved genetic changes that no amount of lead shielding can prevent:

What a Year in Space Did to Scott Kelly

h ttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/04/what-happens-human-body-space/586966/

By Marina Koren, 11 April 2019

In the debate over whether human beings should set off to other worlds beyond Earth, one of the most compelling cons is this: Our bodies don’t like it.

Few people know this better than Scott Kelly, the NASA astronaut who spent nearly a year on the International Space Station from 2015 to 2016. Like other astronauts, Kelly served as a test subject in the study of space travel’s effects on the human body. Unlike other astronauts, Kelly has an identical twin, Mark, an astronaut himself. This gave researchers an uncommon opportunity to monitor the two brothers as they lived in two very different environments.one on Earth and the other 250 miles above it.

According to their results, published Thursday in Science, Scott experienced a number of changes that Mark did not. Most of those changes went away after Scott returned to Earth. The long stint in space, the researchers say, produced some unexpected changes.but did not lead to any clinically significant health differences. …

Some of the most intriguing changes occurred at the chromosomal level, in the protective bits at the ends of chromosomes that make sure they replicate properly when cells divide. These caps, known as telomeres, are known to shorten as a result of stress. Researchers expected to see this change in Scott. Instead, the astronaut’s telomeres lengthened. .You might at first think, Oh, this is great. He’s going to live longer,. Susan Bailey, the Colorado State University professor who led the telomere research, once told me. “But the opposite side of that coin is always that it also increases cancer risk, because one of the very first things cancers do is turn telomerase on to maintain telomere length so they can essentially be immortal..

Most of the telomeres bounced back after Scott returned to Earth, but he now has more short telomeres than he did before his mission. In general, this puts someone at greater risk for quicker aging, Bailey said.

Researchers found some surprises in Scott’s gene expression. On Earth, changes in gene behavior occur in response to shifts in routine activities, such as sleep and diet, and Mark’s gene expression changed as well. But the changes to Scott’s gene expression were distinct, and scientists were stunned at the number of changes they recorded, especially in mitochondrial genes, which help the body produce energy, and in genes related to the immune system. More than 90 percent of these genes returned to normal when Scott came back. (This doesn’t mean, researchers are careful to note, that the rest are somehow .mutated,. as some news reports erroneously suggested last year.)

Researchers also detected changes in the mechanism that cells use to control gene expression, but they were too tiny to matter by the time Scott came back.

.We don’t know yet if these changes are good or bad,. explains Christopher Mason, a geneticist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York who led this part of the research. .This could just be how the body responds. But the genes are perturbed, so we want to see why and track them to see for how long..

We don’t know what space will do to our bodies long-term, but we do know that the presence of a goddess, I mean, commissar, that is to say, feminist is absolutely essential for any new accomplishments in SPHESSS!!!

I get annoyed at people who claim that China is a success story that should be emulated. This attitude is particularly noticeable among the alt-right, who are prone to praising China for pushing ethnic nationalism. The same nation that forced the One Child Policy on its own people? Those ethnic nationalists?

Turns out, China is not so different that MGTOW isn’t happening there, too. They call it “lying down”.

Some Chinese shun grueling careers for ‘low-desire life’

h ttps://news.yahoo.com/chinese-shun-grueling-careers-low-023041128.html

By Joe McDonald and Fu Ting, 3 July 2021

BEIJING (AP) . Fed up with work stress, Guo Jianlong quit a newspaper job in Beijing and moved to China’s mountain southwest to “lie flat..

Guo joined a small but visible handful of Chinese urban professionals who are rattling the ruling Communist Party by rejecting grueling careers for a .low-desire life.” That is clashing with the party’s message of success and consumerism as its celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding.

CCP: “The toil of the peasants has made us strong! Yay us!”

Guo: “Life isn’t fun anymore. I’m going to enjoy life while I’m still young enough to enjoy it.”

CCP: “Get back on our plantation, you selfish prick!”

Beware the society in which being selfish is a privilege.

Guo, 44, became a freelance writer in Dali, a town in Yunnan province known for its traditional architecture and picturesque scenery. He married a woman he met there.

.Work was OK, but I didn’t like it much,. Guo said. .What is wrong with doing your own thing, not just looking at the money?.

That’s a profound insight that should not be profound. The New World Order is attempting to create Homo Economicus, a breed of humans that measures everything… even happiness… in terms of money. I suspect homo economicus is a consequence of hypergamy, of always looking to trade up, always scrounging for that +1 regardless of whether what you have is good enough.

It is an attitude that, like women, cannot be happy with what it has. Not even if it be a mansion.

.Lying flat. is a “resistance movement” to a “cycle of horror” from high-pressure Chinese schools to jobs with seemingly endless work hours, novelist Liao Zenghu wrote in Caixin, the country’s most prominent business magazine.

.In today’s society, our every move is monitored and every action criticized,. Liao wrote. .Is there any more rebellious act than to simply “lie flat?’.

This happens every single time that tyranny does. The Elites confiscate all the rewards of hard work then wonder why men aren’t motivated anymore. The Elites attempt to reverse that trend by lying to the men of vague future rewards then wonder why the men start lying back at them.

Beware the society in which lying is a privilege.

It isn’t clear how many people have gone so far as to quit their jobs or move out of major cities. Judging by packed rush hour subways in Beijing and Shanghai, most young Chinese slog away at the best jobs they can get.

Still, the ruling party is trying to discourage the trend. Beijing needs skilled professionals to develop technology and other industries. China’s population is getting older and the pool of working-age people has shrunk by about 5% from its 2011 peak.

What do the men need? Does China care about them? *crickets*

.Struggle itself is a kind of happiness,. the newspaper Southern Daily, published by the party, said in a commentary. “Choosing to “lie flat” in the face of pressure is not only unjust but also shameful..

The trend echoes similar ones in Japan [GQ: the herbivores] and other countries where young people have embraced anti-materialist lifestyles in response to bleak job prospects and bruising competition for shrinking economic rewards.

For all the bad consequences of telecommunications, the devil’s behavior has rarely been so… visible. He steals, kills, destroys, then rages at his victims no longer building and breeding.

Simultaneously, the devil has never been so trusted and loved. It is very frustrating for us Christians.

Official data show China’s economic output per person doubled over the past decade, but many complain the gains went mostly to a handful of tycoons and state-owned companies. Professionals say their incomes are failing to keep up with soaring housing, child care and other costs.

Sounds familiar.

In a sign of the issue’s political sensitivity, four professors who were quoted by the Chinese press talking about “lying flat” declined to discuss it with a foreign reporter.

Another possible sign of official displeasure: T-shirts, mobile phone cases and other “Lie Flat.-themed products are disappearing from online sales platforms.

So very familiar.

Urban employees complain that work hours have swelled to .9 9 6,. or 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

.We generally believe slavery has died away. In fact, it has only adapted to the new economic era,. a woman who writes under the name Xia Bingbao, or Summer Hailstones, said on the Douban social media service.

SO VERY, VERY FAMILIAR!!!

Some elite graduates in their 20s who should have the best job prospects say they are worn out from the “exam hell” of high school and university. They see no point in making more sacrifices.

.Chasing fame and fortune does not attract me. I am so tired,. said Zhai Xiangyu, a 25-year-old graduate student.

I’m tired, too. I can never afford a home or family of my own, not that I’d ever want to wife up a Commiefornia girl. All the savings I’ve built up will soon be stolen away by inflation, identity theft or God knows what. There’s no winning move. Why try? Serious question. When the thieves and locusts are smashing in your windows to rob you at noon, why?

Is it so terrible a fate to enjoy what you can, while you can, before the unavoidable consequences hit?

Some professionals are cutting short their careers, which removes their experience from the job pool.

Xu Zhunjiong, a human resources manager in Shanghai, said she is quitting at 45, a decade before the legal minimum retirement age for women, to move with her Croatian-born husband to his homeland.

.I want to retire early. I don’t want to fight any more,. Xu said. .I.m going to other places..

That sounds like a woman going MGTOW but really, she’s just monkey branching from a demanding husband to a more charitable one. Must be nice to have options like that.

Thousands vented frustration online after the Communist Party’s announcement in May that official birth limits would be eased to allow all couples to have three children instead of two. The party has enforced birth restrictions since 1980 to restrain population growth but worries China, with economic output per person still below the global average, needs more young workers.

China’s going to win the future because they’re pro-Han ethnic! Belt and Road and Will to Power! Yet they’re still killing their own future, just not as swiftly as before.

Minutes after the announcement, websites were flooded with complaints that the move did nothing to help parents cope with child care costs, long work hours, cramped housing, job discrimination against mothers and a need to look after elderly parents.

Read: not enough feminism. That’s probably why CCP is still killing their own kids: to free up the women to wage-slave for them.

Xia writes that she moved to a valley in Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai, for a .low-desire life. after working in Hong Kong. She said despite a high-status job as an English-language reporter, her rent devoured 60% of her income and she had no money at the end of each month.

She rejects the argument that young people who “lie flat” are giving up economic success when that’s already is out of reach for many in an economy with a growing gulf between a wealthy elite and the majority.

.When resources are focused more and more on the few people at the head and their relatives, the workforce is cheap and replaceable,. she wrote on Douban. .Is it sensible to entrust your destiny to small handouts from others?.

A woman can “lie flat” without taking an economic hit because she can always get married and make her finances her husband’s problem. For men, that’s rarely the case and we really do need to give up economic… and marital… success.

Guo impressed me that he could go MGTOW and still get married.

Guo, the writer in Dali, said he puts in more hours as a freelancer than he did at a newspaper.

Oh. That doesn’t quite sound like MGTOW.

But he is happier, and life is more comfortable: He and his wife eat breakfast on their breezy sixth-floor apartment balcony with a view of trees.

.As long as I can keep writing, I’m very satisfied,. Guo said. .I don’t feel stifled..

Regardless, I’m happy for him. All men should be so lucky.

A handful who can afford it withdraw from work almost entirely.

A 27-year-old architect in Beijing said she started saving as a teenager to achieve financial freedom.

.From last September, when I saw all my savings had reached 2 million (yuan) ($300,000), I lay down,. said the woman, who would give only the name Nana, in an interview over her social media account.

Nana said she turned down a job that paid 20,000 yuan ($3,000) per month due to the long hours and what she saw as limited opportunities for creativity.

.I want to be free from inflexible rules,. said Nana. .I want to travel and make myself happy..

Uh-oh. We know how HER story will end: with cats and Nigerian princes!

I don’t really mind that the Navy decided to cancel railgun development but their given reason is disturbing.

Navy ditches futuristic railgun, eyes hypersonic missiles instead

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/us/navy-ditches-futuristic-railgun-eyes-hypersonic-missiles

By AP, 1 July 2021

The Navy spent more than a decade developing the electromagnetic railgun and once considered putting them on the stealthy new Zumwalt-class destroyers built at Maine’s Bath Iron Works.

But the Defense Department is turning its attention to hypersonic missiles to keep up with China and Russia, and the Navy cut funding for railgun research from its latest budget proposal.

“The railgun is, for the moment, dead,” said Matthew Caris, a defense analyst at Avascent Group, a consulting firm.

The removal of funding suggests the Navy saw both challenges in implementing the technology as well as shortcomings in the projectiles’ range compared to hypersonic missiles, he said.

The Navy’s decision to pause research at year’s end frees up resources for hypersonic missiles, directed-energy systems like lasers and electronic warfare systems, said Lt. Courtney Callaghan, a Navy spokesperson.

Those two programs are not equivalent.

Railguns are ballistic and require a nearby physical presence. Missiles are guided and potentially unlimited range. Different roles, different intended operating environments, etc.

[Railgun] technology was close to making the leap from science fiction to reality in the 21st century with the testing of prototypes.

Which suggests that the railgun program was doomed. Cancel the project at the moment that working prototypes are demanded? What a coincidence.

I think we Americans (in a world in which we’d want a militarily strong USG) should bring back the battleship. It would be a more cost-effective solution than missile frigates for lower-intensity Naval conflict and offshore support. Railguns make sense for that because they don’t need gunpowder stores and the Navy nuclear program was great until we handed it off to Latrina.

For war against a peer/rival, our submarine fleet is already a proven solution.

Certainly, we need something to replace the aircraft carrier with, something that we could (politically speaking) afford to lose. Too Big To Fail is a concept for Wall Street thieves, not military deployments.

But there were a number of problems, including the range of about 110 miles in testing. A Navy vessel could not employ the gun without putting itself within range of a barrage of enemy missiles.

110 Miles is awesome for a ship-mounted gun, especially if accurate. Our previous record was, what, 35 miles?

This speaks to the insecurity and megalomania of our leaders. They don’t want accountability. They don’t want risk. They crave deniability, omnipotence and not needing help from potential dissidents. Pushing a button to launch a cruise missile in the dead of night against any spot on the planet? Textbook Deep State. Parking a ship offshore where it can be photographed unloading on them goat farmers? Absolutely unacceptable.

Now then, what’s this about keeping up with China and Russia?

They’re developing hypersonic missiles to kill our carriers with. Cruise missile salvos are too expensive for sustained conflict but ideal for one-shot surprise attacks against an enemy with Too Big To Fail mentality. USA doesn’t need that kind of missile. We already have (ahem) aircraft carriers for long-range projection of force. If we’re going to keep up with the Jonses then hypersonic missile defense would be sensible.

We already know that our imposter-leaders are not aware of the outside world. They literally fenced off reality as soon as they stole the election and since then, have been living entirely within the theaters of their solipsist, scheming minds… people so insecure, egotistical and guilty-conscienced that they want to hide behind face masks forever.

So, naturally, when the Military-Industrial Complex decided they needed more funding for their Forever Wars, they spooked D.C. into thinking that we needed to keep up with Russian-Chinese military tech. Never mind that their naval tech is specifically and obviously intended to Pearl-Harbor our trademark carrier groups. If we don’t have carrier killers of our own then the Russians will win!

And in the process, they got permission to cover up their inability to produce results for a half-billion-dollar investment. Not that the railgun program is a total writeoff:

This is a picture of Superman: the Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain, a roller coaster park in Los Angeles. It’s a Navy railgun, an attempt to build a replacement for the steam catapult that our carriers use to launch aircraft. The Navy couldn’t get it to work so in a rare moment of creative salvage, they sold the plans to the roller coaster industry.

Six Flags built it then brought in NASA and other eggheads to solve the magnet-synchronization issues. They succeeded. Our F-14s are still launched with steam but for an unreasonable entry fee, you can be electromagnetically launched into a full 8 seconds of weightlessness!

Information gleaned during testing will be retained in the event the Office of Naval Research wants to pick up where it left off in the future, she said.

Bon voyage, paper trail!

It’s getting hard to find good headlines. Coof, recounts and Miami condos are all anybody wants to talk about. But here’s a previously unseen episode of Australian Twilight Zone!

Australia Talks finds six out of 10 regional families can’t easily access child care

h ttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-12/regional-child-care-shortage-australia-talks-survey/100195218

By April McLennan,  11 June 2021

Mother-of-three Alanna Wardle has found living in regional Australia with young children can be isolating. She believes it is vital for parents to have the option to return to work for social and emotional, as well as financial benefits.

But Ms Wardle said that opportunity was taken away from many parents in the South Australian town of Crystal Brook when it lost its only childcare centre about five years ago.

Crystal Brook has a population of about 1,500 and almost 400 hundred families, but no child care.

Ms Wardle said she had heard of parents to driving up to 120 kilometres a day for care.

“I’ve got my youngest daughter on the waitlist for three different childcare centres, and I haven’t been able to get her in, I’ve been on the waitlist for over six months now,” Ms Wardle said.

“We’ve got all the main services here in Crystal Brook . being the hospital, our medical centre, supermarket, school and retirement village . but unfortunately we just don’t have any child care available out here.”

That’s outrageous! They have no church! Ah, that’s right… “no child care”.

The Australia Talks National Survey 2021 found 57 per cent of people living in rural areas said they had some sort of difficulty finding good quality childcare, compared to 41 per cent of those in inner-metro areas.

With those ratios, why is this even a news story?

Because Skankie isn’t haaaapy.

Ms Wardle said it was impacting on the local economy.

“If we want to attract young families and those skilled employees, then we really need to be able to provide that childcare service for them in our town.“

The aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic saw some city dwellers flee to regional Australia, including to towns like Crystal Brook.

If you want to attract young families and skilled employees, then why do you want to offer child care which only appeals to single mothers and bitter corporate Amazons?

But with local residents struggling to access and afford child care, new parents settling in country towns are already at a disadvantage.

You poor urbanites gotta go back, then. Have you considered raising your own kids? Like your own crops? Like the dirt people (now your neighbors) do? Doing without luxury services is generally the point of moving out to where there aren’t any luxury services.

The United Workers Union’s early education director, Helen Gibbons, is concerned about early education in remote areas.

“Rural and regional communities need early education, they’re an essential part of the community in the same way that schools are,” Ms Gibbons said.

“It’s really important to those areas, the economy and to families that they continue to exist and that they’re healthy and well-staffed with people who are qualified and experienced in their roles.”

Yes, it’s important to the economy that women work… because being happy at home is not taxable income.

Tamara Garrett has an early start at her family day care, opening the doors about 5:30am to cater for shift workers in the Queensland mining town of Mount Isa.

You’ve come a long way DOWN, baby!

What is wrong with you women?! You get life on easy mode! But you don’t even want it! You keep wanting to be judged on merit then you wonder where that glass ceiling came from.

“You could make more money working in the mines than what you could in child care.”

I say again: What. Is. Wrong. With. You. Women?

Single mother Hannah McPhee has experienced the struggle first hand.

Oh, right. Single motherhood is what’s wrong with you. Does the poor little fish want a bicycle yet?

She is raising three children in regional Tasmania, and has to stay home to look after them.

Ms McPhee said if she paid for child care, she would be unable to put food on the table to feed her family.

“[I would be] looking at about $80 for one day for one child, it’s not cheap at all,” she said.

“I don’t really have any other support with family and friends, so if they can’t look after my children while I go do things, day care is the only option I’ve got, which I can’t even afford to do that.”

We don’t need childcare. We need FATHERS!

Heads up, this one is darkly humorous and black-pilled. But there’s nowhere else to talk about such things.

I’ve been trying to enjoy this summer. It may be the last one that somewhat resembles Ye Olde Americae. Between one thing and another, I have impressive stockpiles of everything from food to hard hats. I am incredibly ready for a crisis of almost any kind.

I’m not going to survive.

The turning point was when California “relaxed” its lockdown on June 15. There were two parts to it. One was Newsom declaring himself the Dictator of California by refusing to ever relinquish his emergency authority to micromanage the lives of every single inhabitant of his state in perpetuity. Nobody cared. This is in line with a total and inexplicable refusal from all established authorities to ever say No. They’ll maybe complain, drag their feet or resign, but they never refuse the New World Order.

The other is the June 15 declaration that all un-vaxxed are second class citizens. Again, zero institutional defiance. Businesses don’t just put notices in their windows, they put up billboards customized with their logos. Maybe they don’t believe the rules that they themselves post. It doesn’t matter what they believe so long as they are willing to obey. I have to believe they really mean it. I’ve met enough to be certain that many of my neighbors sincerely believe that I am a walking plague upon mankind just because the government said so. They whimper in terror as I tell them… slowly and deliberately…

…that I feel perfectly fine.

I’ve amused myself by mocking their “mask up if you’re an un-baptised Juden” rules. Oh yes, I’m a lawbreaker now. My first crime was Christ and the second was being born a white man who belonged in this country. That makes me outlaw, not criminal; I never chose to cross the line; the Deep State merely drew a new line and declared me on the wrong side, because this country they stole is my birthright inheritance.

I’m going to be rational about that. Mine is a simple philosophy: Non Serviam Tyrannis.

Be that as it may, the Normies love tyranny, especially their being on the pointy receiving end of it. Even the fire department noticed I hadn’t taken the now-statewide mandatory sexual harassment training–they actually checked–and have now dispensed with my services as an emergency volunteer. That’s right: in Commiefornia, you aren’t allowed to extract injured people from burning houses until you’ve been taught to hate your twig & berries, because priorities, man. Nobody has a problem with this, not even the people who needed my help badly enough to offer free training in the first place.

Although, I was not the only recipient on those e-mail notifications. Hmm.

I always said that atheism was the worship of government as God, but I never thought it would be so, so TOTAL. Part of me is impressed. Devoted as I am to Christ, I am not so devoted as to literally forget what Christ said yesterday in order to believe whatever Christ says today.

That’s why I follow Christ, of course. He is correct. He’s the embodiment of truth and like me, the rightful inheritor of a stolen world that hated Him first and us next. Now I find myself surrounded by worshipers of the false god Atheism, sometimes called Evo, and they have a fanatical devotion to not noticing they’re being lied to constantly. They might actually see not noticing the lies as a test of loyalty. When I point out the lies, they lie to me in hopes that I’ll get back on the plantation of not noticing the lies. Are they trying to help me with my unfortunate lack of devotion?

I take stock of my situation, realize that I’m surrounded by depraved banksters programming Godless zombies with psychic malware and, well, they don’t sell anything in the military surplus store for this. Camping gear and firepower will have to do.

I need to leave. There’s nowhere to go. My out-of-state allies would help me but are facing similar hardships.

Conclusion? There is no solution. I can stock up enough to manage a transitionary period, after which I will be a criminal outcast or a concentration camp inmate. There is simply no substitute for people helping out. God grant me either allies to stand against the tide or a swift exit from the frustrating futility, because there’s no material safety to be had. As it should be, our hope is in Christ alone.

But it’s a nice summer. Gettin’ stuff done. Busy at work. Being happy like they don’t want… the greatest revenge!

Not bad for his first art display. Most novice painters need at least a month before they become multimillionaire household names.

President Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued son Hunter Biden is reportedly now engaged as a .full-time artist. and is working with Soho art dealer Georges Berg?s to hold an exhibition in New York in the coming months, with prices for Hunter’s artwork ranging from $75,000 to $500,000, according to Artnet.

Amid years of scandal, the 51-year-old Hunter Biden is apparently now “laying low” in his Los Angeles home while working on his artwork. Berg?s, his dealer, plans to host a “private viewing for Biden in Los Angeles this fall, followed by an exhibition in New York.. Berg?s told Artnet that prices for Hunter’s work will “range from $75,000 for works on paper to $500,000 for large-scale paintings..

.I don’t paint from emotion or feeling, which I think are both very ephemeral,. Biden said of his work. .For me, painting is much more about kind of trying to bring forth what is, I think, the universal truth..

This universal truth?

Actually, that was painted by Andy Warhol if the caption is to be believed.

According to the New York Post, Berg?s has some ties to China. The art dealer reportedly “regularly features works by Chinese artists and told a Chinese network that he was keen to open other art galleries in Beijing and Shanghai in 2015..

Berg?s has lavished praise on China’s role in the art world. In 2014, Berg?s told the Chinese state-owned media outlet China Daily, .The questions that I always had was how’s China changing the world in terms of art and culture..

Ohhh, THAT universal truth: that China is the last totalitarian Communist state of significance on the planet.

.The thing that really fascinates me is the connection between the macro and the micro, and how these patterns repeat themselves over and over,. he added, explaining that art is .not a tool that I use to be able to, in any way, cope.. Rather, Biden said it “comes from a much deeper place..

Let me get my miner’s hat. I’m expecting fractals! Biden’s painting are mostly untitled so I’ll help him out.

Whoa, who’s the chick?

Hunter Biden’s connections to the New York art scene reportedly go through lingerie entrepreneur Zoe Kestan, otherwise known as @weed_slut_420 on Instagram.

Those of you who guessed that the name of Hunter’s muse was Weed_Slut_420 may take your victory lap now.

For a period in 2018, Biden could be seen stopping by art openings and parties on the Lower East Side, and attended a runway show for the hip downtown fashion brand Lou Dallas. Sources said that many of his art-world connections came through his relationship with Zoe Kestan, the lingerie entrepreneur who is better known by her Instagram handle @weed_slut_420. In addition to modeling her wares on her account, where she has nearly 75,000 followers, Kestan is also an artist whose Polaroid snapshots have appeared in group shows with Bernadette Van-Huy, Danny McDonald, and Sam Pulitzer. She has also appeared on the controversial podcast Red Scare…

A dirtbag left media outlet… that’s what Wikipedia said. Serious!

There’s also some concrete leftover evidence of Hunter’s brief wade into the water of downtown art studios and gallery openings. Sources say that, being circulated around the downtown gallery hub of Dimes Square like samizdat, are images of oil paintings of Hunter Biden.that is, images of paintings of all of Biden with nothing left to the imagination.made by another local artist who has asked dealers to not reveal her identity. We.ve yet to get a hold of the depictions of Hunter in the buff or a lead on that painter’s identity, but rest assured: we will keep you posted.

Oh noes! The IRS just persecuted an activist Republican organization masquerading as a Christian empowerment organization!

IRS rejects Christian nonprofit’s tax-exempt request because ‘Bible teachings are typically affiliated with the Republican Party’

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/irs-denies-tax-exempt-status-to-christian-nonprofit

By Phil Shiver, 21 June 2021

The Internal Revenue Service last month denied a Christian nonprofit organization tax-exempt status by arguing its mission of educating and empowering Christians to engage in America’s civic process necessarily benefits the Republican Party.

The IRS is more right than it realizes because it specified “you benefit the Republican Party”. Had this benefitted the Democrat Party, all would have been well.

In a May rejection letter sent to Christians Engaged, the IRS wrote that the group is disqualified from the status because the “Bible’s teachings are typically affiliated with the Republican Party and candidates.”

Directly implying that Democrats are Godless. It’s true! but it’s also more than the IRS meant to say.

“Specifically, you educate Christians on what the Bible says in areas where they can be instrumental including the areas of sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, biblical justice, freedom of speech, defense, and borders and immigration, U.S. and Israel relations,” IRS exempt organizations director Stephen Martin wrote in the letter. “The Bible teachings are typically affiliated with the Republican Party and candidates. This disqualifies you from exemption under IRC Section 501(c)(3).”

Christians Engaged says on its website that it “exists to awaken, motivate, educate, and empower ordinary believers in Jesus Christ to: pray for our nation and elected officials regularly, vote in every election to impact our culture, [and] engage our hearts in some form of political education or activism for the furtherance of our nation.”

Christians Engaged says on its website that it “exists to awaken, motivate, educate, and empower ordinary believers in Jesus Christ to: pray for our nation and elected officials regularly, vote in every election to impact our culture, [and] engage our hearts in some form of political education or activism for the furtherance of our nation.”

Most of CE’s board members are sitting or former state representatives so yes, the IRS made the correct call that they’re just Republicucks pretending Hay-Soos for the bennies. So sorry, ye Nu-males, but false church organizations using God as a partisan election ploy is only for Democrats! The president… you can’t make this up…

How did a soccer mom end up with a ghetto name?

In response to the decision, the group’s legal counsel, First Liberty Institute, filed an appeal last week.

In a press release about the appeal, Counsel Lea Patterson said the claims “that Biblical values are exclusively Republican … might be news to President Biden, who is often described as basing his political ideology on his religious beliefs.”

The IRS should not be worried that an organization espouses Christian beliefs when it gives its own headship to a woman. It should be worried about the blatant favoritism it shows Democrat not-Christians over Republican not-Christians. Fortunately for the tax man, Patterson pointed out that hypocrisy in a completely self-defeating way but imputing Christianity to “I’m butthurt about no Communion just because I murder babies” Biden.

The IRS is right, Patterson. The Bible DOES have a political agenda and it is a conservative, not-Socialist agenda. Not to say a Republican agenda, however. If the GOP were God’s defenders then Satan would already be ruling from Heaven.

The group was formed in July 2019 as a Texas nonprofit organization and describes itself on its website as educational, Christian, and nonpartisan.

According to the press release, Christians Engaged president Bunni Pounds lamented, “We just want to encourage more people to vote and participate in the political process. How can anyone be against that?”

By having 13 of your 21 board members being current or former political activists, Bunni.

.The Streets Were My Father. film aims to bring wholeness to people struggling with fatherlessness

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/news/the-streets-were-my-father-film-brings-hope-to-the-fatherless.html

By Jeannie Ortega Law, 17 June 2021

“I miss my father!”

“Here, have some wholeness!”

Lee Habeeb…

Huh, I’ve always spelled it Habib. Unfortunate name, that.

…the executive producer of “The Streets Were My Father: A Story of Hopelessness and Redemption,. wants people who grew up without a father in their life to know that there is hope this Father’s Day, and that hope is in God.

That’s patronizing and tone-deaf. Hope for what, a father figure? From the modern church?!

.The Streets Were My Father. journeys through the real-life testimonies of three inner-city Chicago men who detail their lives that began with fatherlessness and led to gangs, then prison. But their stories didn’t end there, because ultimately, they met God.

The documentary, which will be released on Sunday, is described as “an important and inspirational film for anyone who has a father [in their lives]. Or anyone who doesn’t. And for anyone who believes in the power of God to transform lives..

And your cat. And your neighbor who spies for China. And the Blacktivist who giggles every time she sees you on a tall ladder.

Habeeb told The Christian Post that he wants everyone to know that “there is hope for those trapped in the cycle of fatherlessness..

The CEO and host of “Our American Stories” said the film is “important for Christians” to share with “men and women without fathers..

Thereby continuing the weary Churchian tradition of piecing together all the broken lives created by modern society… with not a single thought to preventing those lives from being broken in the first place.

The testimonies of Carlos Colon, Louis Dooley and Leslie Williams showcased in the movie are an example of how, despite not having the best earthly fathers, which left them to be raised by the streets, redemption is still possible.

“The Christian Church might have accidentally given you the idea, over the centuries, that you need to be raised by a father in order to join our faith-based service organization. Not so! All victims are welcome!”

Most often, the reason that Daddy isn’t “the best earthly father” is that Mommy can’t possibly be wrong about ALL those accusations. Listen and believe! MeToo!

Each man’s encounter with prison ministry programs helped set them on the road to transformation that led to forgiveness, mercy and love. Each of their salvations in Christ ultimately broke the cycle of fatherlessness in their families.

.God’s example of fatherly love is like no other,. Habeeb assured.

Pretty sure that Habeeb means motherly love relabeled as fatherly love because Scripture, for some obsolete reason probably related to a bad translation somewhere, uses the word “father” to describe God.

Over 2.3 million people are serving time in federal and state prisons or county jails, according to statistics released in the film. Most of those prisoners are fatherless or have strained relationships with their dads. The National Center for Fathering reports that a staggering .43% of all U.S. children live without their father, 85% of youths in prison come from fatherless homes,. and .90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes..

Can you see the problem here?

It’s not incarceration rates.

It’s not child homelessness.

It’s NO FATHER.

Why is there no father?

Divorce. VAWA. Female empowerment. And as boldfaced above, a society-wide disrespect for fathers. If you’re going to make a movie to celebrate Father’s Day… and the only father figures who are even named in your documentary are child-abandoning drug dealers… then you’re either a deceiver or are completely, laughably incompetent,

Full disclosure, I haven’t seen the movie. God gave standing orders that I’m not to pollute my mind with modern culture, yet I cannot be ignorant either because most people think that something can’t be true unless it’s As Seen On TV. I don’t know how to reach people without using pop culture references.

Thankfully, my childhood in the Eighties is still directly relevant thanks to the Devil Mouse’s obsession with reboots.

The following is an edited transcript of The Christian Post’s interview with Habeeb, who shared in detail how his film, .The Streets Were My Father,. shows the power of Christ to change hearts and souls.

CP: What would you like people to take away from “The Streets Were My Father.?

Habeeb: The main takeaway is this: There is hope for those men trapped in the cycle of fatherlessness, gangs, violent crime and prison . and that is God. God changed the lives of all three men featured in our documentary, and in profound and beautiful ways.

Unacceptable. Of course people CAN function without fathers. The Church’s first emphasis should be that people won’t have to. The very worst way to celebrate Father’s Day is highlighting examples of PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T NEED THEIR FATHER AFTER ALL.

I’m happy that they pulled their lives together. Less happy that society, including “Christians”, put them on that path to hardship in the first place.

CP: The film shows how the lack of having good paternal figures negatively impacts children. For those who need encouragement to be better earthly fathers, what advice would you give?

Habeeb: There is hope. The lives of these three men are proof positive that anyone can break the cycle of fatherlessness with God’s help. Indeed, it was the driving motivation of one of the characters in the movie, Carlos Colon. He didn’t have a father, and he learned that his father didn’t have a father. Carlos wanted desperately to break that cycle with his own son, and he succeeded.

Thus far, anyway. The schools and divorce lawyers are impatiently standing by.

Only a church could use Father’s Day to question whether fathers are good enough to not screw up their kids.

CP: As seen in the film, someone’s view of their earthly father can significantly impact their view of the Heavenly Father. How can someone look past the natural to embrace God the Father?

Habeeb: That is what each of these men grappled with, especially Louis. He didn’t want to call anyone “father,” not even God at first. He was so angry about the loss of his own father to gang violence; angry at his father, and angry at God too. But God kept showing up in some pretty wild ways while Louis was in prison, especially his first few days. Once Louis understood the nature of God’s love, things changed for him.

Was the nature of God’s love courage, discipline and self-control? Or was it permissiveness and second chances?

CP: Why is God the best example of a father?

Habeeb: God is patient and gentle and waits for his children. He also gives His children free will and wants His children to choose Him. There is not a coercive element to God, and force is not a part of God’s love. In these ways, and so many others, God’s example of fatherly love is like no other.

“Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.” Deuteronomy 8:5

“Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.” Job 5:17

“Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?” Psalm 94:10

“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.” Proverbs 13:24

“…Have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, .My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son..

“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined.and everyone undergoes discipline.then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!” Hebrews 12:5-7

How about some respect for fathers, Habeeb?

CP: What inspired you to tell the faith aspect of each of these men’s stories?

Habeeb: These stories simply couldn’t be told without the faith dimension. Indeed, their conversion was a fundamental part of the plot, and their faith became a fundamental part of their identity. Indeed, each of these guys became a truly new person in Christ, and right before our eyes.

CP: What can a faith-based audience do to help people prone to look to the streets to be their father?

They can start by following Christ instead of whatever U.N.-approved NGO is on offer. They can shred this reporter a new one for mumbling the most intentionally Godless phrase of Current Year. Or if they really want to get crazy, they can start punishing the women who rebel against their husbands. No, she does NOT have a good reason.

Habeeb: Go to local churches and ask a simple question: “How can I help?” We do mission work all over the world, we Christians. And it is a good and beautiful thing. But we also do it in our towns and in nearby neighborhoods and cities. You can also ask the folks who coach and teach in town or the local school principals. They know which young men and women need help, need a mentor or a father figure. Many are hungry for adult guidance and discipleship and don’t even know it. But it starts by asking around and then doing a simple invitation.

Alternatively, you can go to churches and ask a simple question: “How can I get my wife to respect my authority?” A hundred pastors will leap at the chance to emotionally cuckold you in your own marriage. But don’t worry, after you go to jail the church will use random volunteers to teach your kids that they don’t need Dad when they have Hay-Soos.

CP: Is there something else you would like to add?

Habeeb: This is an important film for Christians to give to men and women without fathers. It will give them hope.

Hope for what? Fathers are not replaceable. Foster fathers just aren’t the same thing. Even God is no replacement for a father you can see and touch and be disciplined by when you’re young instead of when you make parole. Childhood happens only once. But yes, maybe we can ‘break the cycle of fatherlessness’ so that incarceration rates go down. The government would like that.

It is also a remarkable film to give to non-believers because the testimonies of these three men are so powerful. So authentic. And so mesmerizing.

Unbelievers are mesmerized by the powerful hypocrisy of Church leaders and teachings. Maybe we won’t have to wait for future generations to bring us those incredulous looks of disbelief.

The only difference between the average Churchian and the average militant atheist is whether they refer to D.C. as ‘Jesus’.

It is also an important film for families to see that have a good father. Sometimes kids don’t appreciate what they have, and often in life, we only learn about the value of things in their absence.

This is true but this is not why Habeeb made this movie. He made this to show that life without fathers is doable, in order to celebrate Father’s Day.

You can just as easily watch reruns of COPS to appreciate your having had a father.

This film will create a real-life empathy for those kids without a father. It will also develop a real appreciation for all of us who had good and present fathers. Not perfect fathers. They don’t exist. But good and present and purposeful fathers. It is a real privilege to have a great dad. And being a great dad is a real privilege too.

Oh my Dog, Habeeb. “Remember as we go into Father’s Day weekend, there is no such thing as a perfect father!”

You fathers are Men Of God. Every one of you is His avatar upon the Earth. Every day you wake up to a fresh horror of a minefield of threats, bills and Habeebs, and every day you keep it together. God only knows how you do it, most of you make it look so easy that your kids don’t even notice the effort, but you keep rucking up and scoring wins until the devil had to corrupt the ENTIRE PLANET just to have a chance at you. The future of humanity is in your hands and they are strong, capable, GOOD hands.

We do not worship God because He carries the biggest stick. We worship God because of who He is: the True and Living GOD! The one and only! Likewise, you fathers are worthy BECAUSE you are fathers. Not because you’ve been found “good enough” by the “appropriate authorities”… that’s what Satan did in Eden, usurping righteous authority by questioning it, and it’s why using Father’s Day to honor the children left behind by drug-dealing vibrant thugbaits is in treacherously bad taste.

Thank you, fathers!

Now grab a beer and take the weekend off!

Although they haven’t quit their day jobs… yet.

Portland’s police riot squad resigns after officer indicted over alleged assault on photographer

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-police-riot-team-resigns-officer-indicted-assault

By Danielle Wallace, 18 June 2021

[On August 18, 2020], according to the police union, about 200 demonstrators . many equipped with tactical helmets, faces covered, and armed with a variety of weapons . descended on the Multnomah Building in southeast Portland. Multiple dumpsters were set on fire, buildings were defaced, and windows were broken. A riot soon was declared at the planned event after someone from the crowd launched a Molotov cocktail into the building, setting it ablaze.

“After nearly 75 consecutive nights of violence, destruction, and mayhem, a small group of RRT (Rapid Response Team) officers . including Officer Budworth . were again tasked with dealing with the riot,” the Portland Police Association said. “Per PPB Command Staff orders, RRT officers cleared the rioters from the area to allow the Fire Bureau to extinguish the blaze. But the rioters were not satisfied.”…

“RRT officers, including Officer Budworth, used their Police Bureau-issued batons to try and stop the crowd’s criminal activity,” the union’s description of events continued. “Per his training and in response to the active aggression of a rioter interfering with a lawful arrest, Officer Budworth used baton pushes to move a rioter, now known to be Teri Jacobs, out of the area.”

Masculine cop vs strung-out ginger: not even the bans on tear gas and live ammo could even this matchup. Note that Teri suffered no (additional) brain damage from hir’s grape being beaten with a stick.

The grand jury must have liked redheads. Good thing because as of now, it’s the redhead journalists who will be protecting them from the next riot. Save us, trannies! We believe in you!

All 50 of the Portland Police Bureau’s highly trained rapid response unit officers resigned this week after the recent indictment of Officer Corey Budworth for [one count of fourth-degree assault].

Police had that qualified-immunity thingy specifically so they cannot be singled out like this. While that’s always a discussion we can have, what’s happening here is that the city government said they had the cops’ back then reneged after the fact.

I am honestly surprised that cops haven’t started giving such weaselly politicians ‘home inspections’ from Portland to Baltimore. It would do a lot for their public image if they were seen going after the actual bad guys.

The police bureau referred Fox News to a statement from Chief Chuck Lovell in response to the officer’s indictment.

“Law enforcement is held to a higher standard and must constantly strive to live up to that standard. PPB has processes of accountability in place that take time to complete,” Lovell said in a statement released Tuesday. “As Chief, I have a role to play in the Police Bureau’s internal process associated with this case and therefore, I cannot provide additional details.”

That’s called “throwing your men under a bus”, Chief. Just because you ain’t swinging a stick from that fancy desk, don’t mean you ain’t doing violence against your city, and don’t act like you’re ignorant of a situation that’s already made headlines against your department. Next time, try something like this:

“Dumbitch journalist decided to join the rioters and got smacked for it. I have no problem with this outcome. Leave my man alone!”

Quitting the riot squad is a good act of self-defense, maybe solidarity, but it’s the ordinary citizens of Portland that are going to suffer. The District Attorney and his bodyguards will be safe regardless:

The Portland Police Association accused Multnomah District Attorney Mike Schmidt of ignoring the reality of the violent nature of the crowd and Jacob’s criminal activity. The union stressed that Budworth did exactly as he was trained, arguing that the Portland Police Bureau’s own experts reviewed his actions and found them “reasonable, permissible, and in accordance with his training.”

What does it take, officers? How long will you let traitors such as Schmidt operate with impunity? From wikipedia: “Schmidt gained notoriety shortly after taking office for refusing to prosecute people who were arrested participating in the George Floyd protests unless there is “deliberate property damage, theft, or threat of force.” This meant dropping the majority of cases; by August 11, the office prosecuted 47 felonies out of 550 referred protest cases.”

I must endure anarcho-tyranny because all the men with guns and sticks whose job is to protect me, tolerate anarcho-tyranny… even against themselves. One would expect riot cops to have a bit more fight in them.

Also from wikipedia: “A police officer told Schmidt in a meeting that “I don’t trust anything you do or say because you’re antifa.””

The boot fits and words didn’t work. That means it’s time to… give up and go home, if you’re a badge.

The city of Portland agreed to pay Jacobs $50,000 in a civil settlement related to the incident. She was reportedly wearing press credentials at the time.

A sentence that one should never hear from his high school biology teacher: “That wasn’t beef I just fed you.”

Want to eat a cicada? These N.J. high school students are going to do just that.

h ttps://www.nj.com/mercer/2021/05/want-to-eat-a-cicada-the-nj-high-school-students-are-going-to-do-just-that.html

By Brianna Kudisch, 18 May 2021

The Brood X cicadas have slowly started to emerge in Princeton, but copperhead snakes aren’t the only predators looking forward to eating them for a quick bite.

A group of students at Princeton High School are also eagerly awaiting the swarms for a protein-packed meal, as members of the school’s insect eating club.

.I think that cicadas are a great example of one way we can use insects all around us as ways to build support for new proteins and new food sources,. said Matthew Livingston, a junior who is a member of the club.

What’s wrong with the old sources? They’re affordable, healthy, traditional and don’t trigger one’s disgust reflex… oh.

Organized in 2020, the insect eating club technically has 50 members, although only four to five active members usually attend the weekly meetings. Club members host tasting events, as well as insect-raising projects.

All of the virtue-signaling with none of the calories!

Students are currently raising crickets and mealworms, and might start raising silkworms and tomato hornworms for research purposes, said Mark Eastburn, a biology teacher at the high school and mentor of the club.

No, not “research purposes”. Eastburn want to get kids accustomed to eating cockroach larvae (aka mealworms) because he intends to deprive them of beef and chicken when they grow up. It’s best if the kiddies get used to a starvation diet early on. Ditto hormone blockers?

They are also planning a large outdoor food waste remediation project with black soldier flies over the summer.

Because clouds of flies don’t know how to consume garbage without a credentialed government advisor.

Livingston said the group intends to organize a “cicada hunting event” either May 29 or 30 for the tasting event, since that’s when the big wave of insects in their full forms is expected.

After catching the insects in a local park, members will freeze them for freshness and safety precautions, since freezing them kills off some bacteria, he said.

Freezing will not kill off any pesticides. I also note the usage of “some” bacteria.

In early June, Livingston said he.ll teach members how to cook the insects via Zoom. They will meet at his house in mid-June for the tasting event and to see “which recipes are the most favorable..

Most club members haven’t tried cicadas before, Livingston said. But they have sampled other insects, like crickets or mealworms. .We’ve also eaten them whole, raw, and intact, roasted. he said, or in “powder form, in a cookie or brownie..

Eastburn, who recently ate a cicada, compared its flavor to a bean. He said he’s looking forward to tasting the insects with Old Bay seasoning, since they’re .closely related to crustaceans..

That from a biology teacher?

Mulin Huan, a junior and club member, said he’s heard stories of his mother catching cicadas for consumption in China with her brothers and friends. They mixed cornstarch with water to create a “sticky pasta,. that they attached to a bamboo stick and a tree to catch the insects.

Once they caught the cicadas, his mother and her friends pulled their wings off, boiled them to remove any potential parasites, and stir fried them in oil with different flavors, including soy sauce, ginger, and salt and pepper.

That should have been a clue. China’s history is proof that strong, centralized government results in starvation diets for proletariats. Oh look, America now has a strong and centralized government that predicts we’ll have to eat maggots to survive… just as soon as their Brave New Agenda For Inevitable Progress Benefitting the Human Condition gets fully implemented.

Livingston said he’s also seen the insects consumed as “candy cicadas,. with a hard sugar coating added on their exterior. But he’s largely interested in the cicadas as an alternative protein since they produce less greenhouse gases and are already raised by nature.

.They’re basically a free food source,. he said.

QED.

VILLANOVA, Pa. . Do you remember Green Fruit Loop? She is the green anole, a lizard native to the Southeastern U.S., that Villanova Master’s student and elementary school teacher Mark Eastburn .17 MS helped rescue from an organic salad container shipped from Florida to Princeton, N.J., where he teaches. The story made national news last winter when Eastburn made a home for the lizard in his classroom. We are happy to report that while their journeys have not been easy, Eastburn and Green Fruit Loop are both thriving!

Okay. Fun story… because he didn’t eat it.

Q: When that story first broke, you had some great quotes about our revulsion to certain creatures being learned, and that finding a lizard in your salad greens means that the leaves must be healthy and high quality.quite the opposite of what most of us would think. How can we start refocusing our lens to see things from a science perspective, or a more natural perspective? Or, how do we stop kids from losing that perspective?

The perspective that poop is exciting? We’ve all been there at age two. Perhaps revulsion can be a sign of maturity?

A: I think that it is essential to model the right practices and behaviors when children are young, which is why I enjoy being an elementary school science teacher. My youngest students are in prekindergarten, and they practically fall over each other for a chance to hold Rosie, my pet tarantula. If I show them a snake, they are fascinated, not frightened, and yet it is an endless struggle to encourage adults to refrain from passing along their own aversions to spiders and snakes to students.

Um, no, not so much. Snakes aren’t revolting. Granted that not everybody appreciates a pet that will hug you, then swallow you whole, but that’s not the same. People do have an instinctive revulsion to arachnids and that is generally a good thing. Example, it was the only way that we could settle Australia.

I believe that my mission as a science teacher is to reconnect students to nature, since younger generations often do not have the same opportunities that I had to experience the outdoors. At the same time, I feel compelled to incorporate new technologies into my instruction, and not lose sight of skills that will be necessary for future careers, so I’ve always sought ways to integrate natural sciences with technology. To this end, I have been trying to build “nature spaces” at the schools in my district, where students can interact with native species like insects, isopods, frogs, salamanders and turtles, while at the same time using digital tools for observation, data collection, and simulation of relationships within ecosystems. Many recent studies have shown the positive effects of spending time in natural settings, and I really believe that this is necessary to our mental health.

He’s right as far as this interview goes, but he fails as a teacher when he imparts that idea that ALL nature is good nature. My work and hobbies both take me out into pristine nature and let me tell you, one bout of poison oak blisters on your face and your love for Nature will forevermore be ‘nuanced’.

Despite my best efforts, I got fleas this past workweek. Just sayin’, I got reasons for my particularly strong disgust reflex. It keeps me healthy, it keeps me safe, it naturally keeps my brain free of amoebas!

Ooh, Eastburn is not just a kids’ teacher. He’s a kids’ author!

h ttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28695328-earning-my-spots

Sam and his family are the only werehyenas in their town…

Wait, what?

I am perfectly comfortable with anthropomorphism, as anybody who has seen my foxy avatar would know. As a gamer, I have pretended to be werewolves and even wererats. I would even do the cosplay thing, if I was any good at costumes and there was any game convention worth attending. Reading the Chronicles of Narnia, I could never understand why C.S. Lewis believed that ending up as a fire-breathing dragon could be a bad fate.

But seriously, man. Were-HYENAS?

The subconscious reason that one chooses that specific animal to represent you, is because it’s known for traits that you value. I chose a smirking fox and lo, my blog proves me a cunning and elusive wordsmith. Not a coincidence. People who regard themselves as assertive & standoffish choose predators like wolves, and so on.

A hyena is a scavenger with an infamously bad sense of humor.

On the one hand, you could argue that Eastburn chose werehyenas for his book, not his avatar. True. On the other hand, I could… continue the synopsis:

Sam and his family are the only werehyenas in their town, and they do their best to keep up their cover in front of the humans while the other more aggressive shifters mock the werehyena family for being weak and passive. But Sam sees no other life for himself, as he believes what he is told: he is inferior to the other shifters.

One night, a pack of shifters raids Sam’s house and takes his family, leaving him all alone. With the help of some new friends, Sam sets off on a journey from Vermont to South America to rescue his family. Along the way, he meets various shifters who aid him on his quest. He even meets a tribe of werehyenas in Louisiana who teach him how powerful his kind actually is and how far his ancestry goes back. From them, Sam learns he has a great destiny to fulfill.

That is a textbook Secret King fantasy. A protagonist who was always taught he was inferior to everybody else, and kept encountering good reasons to believe it, suddenly discovers that he’s secretly the center of the universe.

If it weren’t for the part about being taught inferiority then I could believe this was a standard bildungsroman; Luke Skywalker rising from dirt farmer to hero of the Rebellion. But Luke never chafed at being different and inferior, and when he discovered his Force ability, premature reliance on it got him maimed at Bespin.

As Sam draws closer to finding his family, he begins to understand how different the world of shifters is that exists outside of his small hometown. Shifters are tired of humans destroying their homes, and they want not only revenge but also to force humans into submission. It becomes clear that Sam is the only one who can stop a war that’s on the brink of erupting.

Fans of the Spirit Animals and Warriors series will enjoy accompanying Sam on his quest as he discovers not only that his destiny and inner strength are greater than he thought, but also that being a werehyena is not as laughable as he assumed.

A secret king fantasy with an environmentalist theme? Written by a biology teacher who encourages kids to start eating insects for nutrition before his religion forces them to?

Naturally, the health department weighed in. But not on Eastburn, not the way it should have and not even forrr the chillldren!

Cicada tacos crushed by health department . for now

h ttps://www.loudountimes.com/entertainment/cicada-tacos-crushed-by-health-department-for-now/article_1f0c8e54-bfc7-11eb-b5ea-17ef74466cb4.html

By Karen Graham, 28 May 2021

As millions of cicadas emerged in Loudoun County last week, Chef Tobias Padovano at Cocina on Market in Leesburg began foraging for the insects and serving them in tacos.

However, one customer who ordered and ate the cicada tacos complained to the Loudoun County Health Department, which then told the restaurant to stop serving them.

I want to call him a whistleblower but he was dumb enough to eat cicada tacos in the first place, so maybe a chunk-blower?

Victor Avitto, an environmental health supervisor with the Loudoun County Health Department, told the Times-Mirror that the cicadas need to be sourced from an approved food source, and only then it will be fine to serve them.

“They need to be sourced from a farm that is inspected and certified,” he said.

That ruling… is… fifty shades of WRONG. Does the health department even have rules for certifying “food-grade bugs”?

Padovano says he has found an organic farm in West Virginia where he can source the cicadas, and is hoping the health department will approve it by Saturday so the tacos can go back on the menu.

“We are waiting for authorization,” he said.

Sounds like they do. Make that 51 shades of wrong.

You haven’t made it as a journalist until you’ve developed a private network of informants. I’m pleased to announce that I still haven’t sunk that low! These top-secret corporate documents were passed along to me purely for the lulz.

Hmm, I should use a pseudonym for this Too Big To Fail defense contracting telecom company…. what would be a good one?

We have a winner! It’s got electrolytes!

I present first the USA-national guidelines, followed by a special guideline addressing the people who live where SJWs fear to tread.

Brawndo Vaccine Q&A
US Specific Guidance
Updated Regularly

Welcome/Bienvenido/Bonjour valued employee of Economic District 5! We are happy to provide you with corporate guidance on government health guidances because of all the many, many things we demand of you, making responsible and informed life decisions for your own selfish benefit is never going to be one of them.

Your guidance today is presented in the form of a catechism. We’re trying out the Catholic model of cradle-to-grave loyalty to the Powers That Be, meaning us. And we wouldn’t say no to some graven images of CFO Wanda.

General Vaccine Access/Distribution
1) Q: What is Brawndo doing to monitor vaccine availability, access, and distribution?
A: Brawndo relies on a tiered system for responding to and assessing the pandemic landscape and the needs of our company community:
. The Brawndo Pandemic Committee is responsible for monitoring overall developments with vaccines (including access, distribution, feasibility, etc.) while assisting executive leadership to interpret relevant considerations for our company.

I gotta get me a job doing nothing… I mean, monitoring overall developments.

To make those assessments, the committee relies on its diverse group of experts ranging from operational, executive, and safety leaders to a public health toxicologist who works in Brawndo’s environmental services practice.

All the immunologists were booked to CNN and Telemundo.

The organizational guidance provided by the Pandemic Committee is scientific in nature and based on peer-reviewed research from leading medical authorities and the latest intelligence from local, state, national, and global health organizations.

For Regional Operations
. Silver Crisis Team: Employees will follow the guidance put in place by their Silver Teams – comprised of local leadership including their regional leader (RL), HR, and Risk Management teams.

“In the absence of Scientific Trustworthy Executives, all crisis command decisions will be made by Ditsy in HR and our insurance representative. Because we love you, headcount!”

2) Q: Will Brawndo provide paid time or any incentives for employees to receive a vaccine?

A: Brawndo will not compensate employees to get vaccines [except where required by law].

But we will add new hires to our new corporate office of compliance with the new government office of health mandates. To support this increase in dead weight, the departments of production and quality assurance will no longer be permitted bathroom breaks.

3) Q: What are Brawndo’s office and worksite policies for fully vaccinated, and for unvaccinated employees?

A: Brawndo guidance on COVID-19 protocols for fully vaccinated and unvaccinated employees is consistent with the CDC guidelines and is likely to evolve alongside federal guidance.

“We don’t know what to do! We’re scared to make decisions! We’re just the C-Suite of a heavily leveraged Fortune 500 company! Save us, golden parachute!”

State or local laws or governmental orders may modify these protocols and must be followed.

They’re just a mouthpiece for the government… unless, spoiler alert, the local government chooses freedom.

The FDA has created a graphic for overall understanding of the potential living/lifestyle changes for vaccinated members of communities. That resource is available here:

4) Q: How do I know if I am considered fully vaccinated? If I have one dose, or a two-dose vaccine, am I exempt from masking/distancing?

A: Individuals are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 two (2) weeks after they have received the second dose in a two-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two (2) weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson/Janssen). Unvaccinated refers to individuals of all ages, including children, that have not completed a vaccination series or received a single-dose vaccine.

Seriously, that’s not a real Q&A. That’s a catechism.

Information on the CDC.s guidance for fully vaccinated employees can be found here:

5) Q: Can I still mask/distance even if I am fully vaccinated to protect others who may not be vaccinated?

This piece of catechism comes up so often, I wonder if it’s actually true. Maybe I’m going maskless at the grocery because I was fully vaccinated for measles at age two while everybody still wearing face diapers actually did get the Pfishy jab but are too broken and insecure to take advantage of offered freedom.

A: Regardless of your status . you are well within your right to protect yourself or exercise flexibility with respect to working in the office, or on a worksite. If you are fully vaccinated and wish to wear your mask, you will be supported in that decision. If employees do not feel comfortable being in the office when masks are not mandated for fully vaccinated employees, we encourage them to speak to their supervisors to address concerns.

“You got jabbed because we promised you could live a normal life afterwards. And you can! until we find a stooge to complain that you’re living a normal life.”

6) Q: If Brawndo is not going to mandate vaccines, how do I know if it is safe to be around any of my coworkers when I return to work or a jobsite? Will there be a process to identify unvaccinated individuals?
A: Brawndo encourages all eligible employees to get vaccinated as soon as possible…

Why? Serious question. The vaxx is admitted to not be a vaccine. You still can transmit disease… still get sick… and I’ll be honest, I was taking the piss with that “we love you, headcount” comment.

From the corporate perspective, the vaxx can cause side effects but otherwise has no effect on attendance and job performance. If anything, you should want your employees to NOT gamble their health on something with no proven ability to help more than a placebo.

…However, we recognize that some employees may not be able to get vaccinated or will chose not to. Brawndo will not identify vaccinated or unvaccinated employees.

The boldfaced is the only time that Brawndo’s leadership admits that there’s a reason people might not already have gotten the jab other than the wait is too long.

Many of Brawndo’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols will remain in place for the protection of employees.

Is that because you didn’t think about cleanliness prior to the Plandemic or because… God help us… interrupting the additional janitorial funding would cost more than it would save?

7) Q: If I cannot get vaccinated (or have to wait to receive the vaccination) will my employment status be
impacted?
A: No . employment status will not be impacted unless a vaccination is required by local authorities to perform job duties, in which case Silver Teams will provide guidance based on the circumstances of the individual.

No means yes!

7a) Q: If I refuse to get vaccinated because I religiously object to being injected with aborted baby tissue, will you respect my beliefs?

A: No – We’re now as Catholic as the pope so you should trust us to handle all your faith-based needs.

8) Q: Will Brawndo ask for proof of vaccination for office, site workers, or contractors? If so, where will that information be tracked? Who will have access to it?
A: Brawndo will not ask employees for proof of vaccination unless it is required to comply with state or local laws, or is required by clients for a legitimate business purpose.

There it is again. The idea that a powerful company like Brawndo can’t override a local government’s decrees. Hold that thought.

9) Q: Can Brawndo ask if an employee is fully vaccinated?
A: Vaccination status is a private matter, and all employees reserve the right not to disclose their vaccination status, even in casual conversation. However, Brawndo can ask an employee if they have been fully vaccinated if there is a legitimate business purpose (typically beyond Brawndo’s control) and if permitted by local laws.

“No, we can’t ask unless we can, and we won’t be liable either way. We’re helpless, baby… it’s just us against a cruel world. We gotta do what we gotta do to survive, which is why I pimp your bloodwork to Google Analytics. And why you better be okay with that.”

10) Q: What if a client or worksite requires Brawndo to provide proof of vaccination?
A: If a client requires proof of vaccination before Brawndo employees or contractors are allowed access to worksites, Silver Teams will evaluate each situation and specific requirements as they arise. It is common for Brawndo to comply with various site and client specific requests (e.g., preaccess drug testing).

So much for “we’ll tell those busybody bloodsuckers that our employees do not, never have and never will be superspreaders of a lethal disease, thanks for asking, signed a corporate management team that acknowledges the humanity of its employees.” Instead, it’s “we have precedent in the form of drug testing.” Itself a dehumanizing mandate.

You see the pattern here. Brawnco is perfectly okay with coercing vaccine apartheid upon its bipedal assets but it doesn’t want the responsibility of doing so. And well it shouldn’t.

11) Q: Will Brawndo limit access to work and project sites to only those staff who have been fully vaccinated?

Any answer except a hard ‘no’ is a ‘yes’.

A: Typically, we will not restrict access based on vaccination status, but in certain circumstances (typically beyond Brawndo’s control), Brawndo may limit access to work or project sites to fully vaccinated employees only.

That phrase again.

Sigh. The writing is on the wall. As soon as somebody else agrees to take responsibility, Brawndo will go hard vaxx apartheid.

It is NEVER beyond Brawndo’s control, to deny a customer’s request for vaxx-only workers. Smart companies will lose a client before they lose a good worker. The latter are hard to find and usually worth more than you pay them.

12) Q: Will I be permitted to travel for work if I do not get the vaccine?
A: Work travel will follow local health authority guidance and airline restrictions. If proof of vaccination is required, employees who are not fully vaccinated may be impacted.

As I said, this is a catechism. Here’s the stock question, here’s the correct answer. This is not interesting reading for a Q&A.

13) Q: What if I am subject to quarantine due to travel restrictions or being identified as a close contact of a COVID-19 positive case and I am fully vaccinated? Am I exempt from those quarantine requirements and travel restrictions?

A: If the local health authority mandates quarantine or isolation (i.e., due to travel, or contact with a COVID-19 positive case) employees will be subject to those rules… Brawndo will not provide exceptions that conflict with local government or health authority regulation.

Had this been a real question and not “What if I must obey the State? Then you must obey the State”, it would be a very valid question whether Brawndo intends to pay the costs of quarantine for the unvaxxed. Because you don’t reach Fortune 500 status by tolerating unauthorized expenditures incurred by your work units caring about themselves.

14) Q: If vaccination is required for work . and there is a charge to receive one . will I be reimbursed for
that cost?
A: Most jurisdictions are providing vaccination without costs, but if that is not the case and a vaccine is specifically required for work purposes then please contact your regional Silver Team (led by your regional leader) who will evaluate each situation and specific requirements as they arise. It is important to check with your local health authority on vaccine access.

Yo, Craven Executive Officer, the cost of a quaccine is not just the dosage… it’s also the side effects. Maybe he thinks complications from unethical medical experiments is society’s fault, like crime.

15) Q: There are several vaccines available. What is the difference between the options?

“Because I really have been living in an underground bunker with no Internet for the last two years. Thanks for paying my salary regardless.”

Such is the current standoff regarding Vaccine Apartheid. Our public Fascists in government want it. Our private Fascists in business want it. But neither wants to be the first to tell those bitter loser Southerners clinging to their God and their Guns, that they are sub-human dissidents who need to not exist in polite society anymore.

And no wonder, because SOMEBODY FROM THE SOUTH PUT A GUN TO SCIENTIFIC EXECUTIVE’S BRAIN BUCKET AND DEMANDED ANSWERS!

US South Re-Entry & Vaccine Guidance Update Update Post-Meatspace Discussion Edition

Dated very recently.

Uh-oh! Cathechism class let out, then the Protest-ants of Texas and Florida heated up the REAL phone lines!

This is a [summary of responses to the indigenous wildlife of the Southern United States and is not authoritative anywhere else. Those Damn Confederates! Won’t take a hint even after you tear down their statues and ban their flag.]

Q: Is a positive antibody test the same as a vaccine with respect to our approach?

A: Based on current CDC guidance, no. If someone has had the virus and shows antibodied, they would still be considered unvaccinated until they have had the vaccine.

There it is, black and white. The vaxx is not about health. It’s not about avoiding COVID. It’s everything about tearing American society apart into winners and losers, with an invisible hand playing one side off the other until the last healthy, white and/or Christian man is dead.

I’m surprised they were this honest. Hence my conspiracy theory about projectile weapons and brain buckets. Damn Confederates be like that, all straight talking and straight shooting both.

Q: Can mask use requirement for unvaccinated staff be dropped based on local guidance?

A: No. For unvaccinated staff entering an office, social distancing, or masking when distancing cannot be attained, is required.

Remember that held thought, that Brawndo has no choice but to heed local government guidance? Turns out, they meant only FASCIST government guidance! They are perfectly willing and entrenched to defy local government should it disagree with that unwritten mandate that cows crave.

Let me also quote from way above:

“Brawndo will not identify vaccinated or unvaccinated employees.”

Which is it? Will the unvaxxed not be identified, or will they be forced to mask up in the far corner EVEN WHEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROHIBITS MASK MANDATES. Because that’s why the South is an issue re vaxx apartheid: states from Texas to Florida are not even trying to offer Brawndo the liability protection they crave before proceeding with their “yellow stars for dissidents” initiative.

Q: Will Brawndo ask for proof of vaccination status?

A: Unless client-requested…

Methinks that the greatest appeal of Fascism, at least the American iteration of it, is the absolution of responsibility. The buck doesn’t stop with anybody. All it takes to “force” Brawndo to demand vaxx status on pain of termination is one single person from either the UN/WHO, CDC, NIH, Federal government, State government, local government, today’s especially picky client or the neighbor next door, to demand it. But they won’t do it themselves, oh no, they respect your privacy. Until the first butthurt homo shows up.

This has been a pattern for a couple decades at least. We’ve all seen examples in the news in which companies surrender unconditionally to a couple feminists with hurt feelings at the expense of millions of paying customers. It is puzzling. I am not sure how that even works, how appeasing one loudmouthed freak is better than continued existence. Original Sin writ large, perhaps?

And how does that manage to be a guided process? It really is like watching a school of fish pivot with the briefest of hidden cues.

I have a theory, that this is the religion of mediocrity… what the likes of Jordan Peterson preach, and why their teachings are so popular. You’re just smart enough to function but so severely insecure that you got no ability to resist peer pressure at all. You function in your cubicle, you keep your room clean and take your pills and pet the neighbor’s cat, but the gentlest sneer from a Chosen One will shift your direction as effortlessly as if you had no past, no future and no will of your own. You lied to yourself until the truth means nothing.

For the QED to that, these next two Q&As must be read together for full effect:

Q: Concern over stigmatizing based on vaccine status.

A: It is important to our culture that this doesn’t occur. Vaccination and mask-wearing are a personal choice and will be respected accordingly.

Q: Can unvaccinated staff eat in break rooms if socially distanced?

A: No. Unvaccinated staff can use the breakroom to access refrigerator, microwave, etc. But to sit and eat inside of the breakroom [with the Beautiful People], vaccination is required.

Truth means nothing to these people. Outside of the southern US, Brawndo smiles and shrugs and “but the government says we have to. But it’s a client request. We have no choice.” But in the Bible ‘we don’t do that mandate shit yet feel fine’ Belt, Brawndo is “you are a second-class citizen no matter what the government says. No matter what the client says. You are not of the Beautiful People. We can’t duck this issue anymore so back of the bus, you dissidents.”

Read these next two together, also.

Q: Will staff need to wear something i.e. a badge to indicate vaxx status?

A: No.

Q: Is vaccination status considered during office layout?

A: No. It is assumed that the unvaccinated will distance/mask per guidelines.

“We don’t require you to wear a mask unless you want to talk to a Beautiful Person. Which you’d only do in the first place because your job requires it.”

Q: Avenues for staff to communicate that they are experiencing discrimination due to vaccine status?

Ooh, a money shot!

A: Brawndo is committed to creating and maintaining a working environment free from harassment or discrimination…

These corp-rats have souls but it’s hard to regard them as human. When their PC catechism gives them the correct answer, they repeat it mindlessly. When asked to make a decision, they pass the buck. And when they find themselves in a Heritage American environment with nowhere to hide, the mask slips and they reveal themselves as Children Of the Lie.

They may be in positions of power but they don’t act like men of power. They act like Sorcerer’s Apprentices who have rebelled against their master, seized control of forces they don’t understand and lash out with no purpose except to prove themselves powerful.

You must refuse the vaxx! Even if you believe the vaxx is not harmful, this is your chance to make a difference! The reason the Elites are still being wishy-washy like this is because they don’t yet have enough Vaxxed to risk the imposition of Apartheid. They have (somewhat arbitrarily) put this figure at 70%. If they reach that goal then they will kick the rest of us out of own own society and preferably into “isolation camps”.

If they don’t then the current situation will endure: the situation of neither private nor public Fascism being willing to risk a pull on the trigger of declaring dissidents to be…. less than human.

I’m bored. Let’s get inked!

The pandemic tattoo craze is here

h ttps://www.vox.com/the-goods/22524779/post-pandemic-tattoos-busy

By Terry Nguyen, 11 June 2021

Tiffany Garcia has tattooed thousands of people over her two-decade career, but she remains intrigued by the first-timers. Since the spring, more clients without any history of tattoos have arrived at Garcia’s studio in Torrance, California.

It isn’t just young people. Some are middle-aged or divorced, or recently lost someone dear to them. .It felt like people were trying to find themselves or fulfill a purpose with tattoos,. Garcia told me. .I’ve had clients say they never thought to get one in their life..

Across the country, tattoo artists like Garcia say they are witnessing a boom in bookings, catalyzed by stretches of business inactivity during the pandemic. People have spent the past year declaring their desire to get inked, whether to memorialize the unprecedented circumstances they’ve lived through or to embrace a new vehicle for self-expression after months of social inhibition. The changes in workplace culture toward remote employment are also a boon: Fewer workers will have to contend with the corporate stigma against visible body art.

It is curious that first-timers of middle age are getting tattoos. The thought of getting one has crossed my own mind and I am not that kind of guy. I do not like it when alien thoughts invade my brain; it is a good time to stop and introspect. I’ve no moral objection to tattoos, understand; I simply don’t think that letting strangers inject me with foreign chemicals bearing permanent consequences is a good idea. Same reason that I will not get vaxxed.

Hmm. That actually answers my question, why tattooing is becoming a major thing. Government is pushing people to let strangers inject them with foreign chemicals bearing permanent consequences. Crossing that line a second time is much easier than the first time, and there’s a shortage of ways to express oneself thanks to face diapering.

The Plandemic has violated pretty much every social norm that was in place two years ago while taboo-ing existing social norms such as handshakes and playing with friends. One would expect to see consequences of that.

Garcia.s shop, which has six working tattooists (including her), is booked through July and into August. But the studio’s packed schedule doesn’t mean the artists and the shop are financially in the clear. .We are still digging our way out of the pandemic,. Garcia said. .A lot of artists are self-employed, independent contractors, or booth renters, and they couldn’t qualify for unemployment. I had an artist who lived upstairs from the shop lose his apartment, and I am paying back my debts..

Normies still cannot connect the dots between “government banned all businesses then only gave help to the ones they approved of” and “because they hate me and want me gone”.

Many shop owners and artists had to take on loans to hang onto their businesses. Rent was still due, after all, even as Garcia’s business remained closed from March through October 2020. Her studio didn’t qualify for PPP aid; she said she applied many times as an independent contractor and uploaded the required documentation. .Every time I got an email requesting W-2 forms and another tax document that I don’t have, as I’m not an employer with employees,. Garcia said. .No matter how much I called or emailed, I never got answers and eventually received an email stating that my application has been canceled..

Garcia eventually secured an SBA loan that has to be paid back with interest (a PPP loan is potentially forgivable, while the SBA loan Garcia received isn’t). The enthusiasm from clients has been helpful, though, and with each passing day, Garcia’s anxiety about her debt eases.

Neither can they connect the dots between “I need a government loan” and “because the government won’t let me earn a living”.

Tattoo studios in California have been under intermittent lockdown since March, with a few weeks of activity during summer 2020 before another period of monthslong closures. In August, barbershops, nail salons, and beauty parlors were given the green light to open, but tattoo parlors were left out, despite the state previously categorizing them all as “personal care services..

.What people might not realize is, as tattoo artists, we have to study topics like bloodborne pathogens,. Garcia said. .We learn how to avoid cross-contamination, and we learn about airborne and vector-borne diseases. We’ve always had face masks on hand even before the pandemic, since we work so closely with clients. We’ve been prepared for this..

Neither can they connects the dots between “we know that CDC guidelines don’t work”, “the CDC keeps doubling down on what doesn’t work” and “which means we’re being lied to”.

I’d get angry but it wouldn’t do any good. People can’t recognize lies and can’t care when they’re forced to acknowledge the lies. Increasingly, I wonder if that really is “cannot” rather than “will not”. At least these shop owners are taking the consequences of their own blindness in their own shorts.

In May, [Morgan Dodd, a 26-year-old talent manager in New York City] odd spontaneously decided to get a tattoo of the character No Face from the movie Spirited Away at her first rooftop party of 2021…. .Tattoos are a way for me to decorate my body and reconnect with myself during this time,. Dodd said. .For me, it’s mostly about the story and the moment of when I got the tattoo and where I was at in my life..

Hmm, New York City. America’s largest and most expensive insane asylum. Always worth a check!

New Yorkers flock to tattoo parlors, tanning salons amid Phase 3 reopening

h ttps://nypost.com/2020/07/06/customers-flood-nyc-tattoo-parlors-after-phase-3-reopening

By Steven Vago, Jason Beeferman, Doug Cortese and Kevin Sheehan, 6 Jul 2020.

It took four journalists to write this? The field research must have been catered. Article’s a year old, though.

Tat.s wild!

Business was booming at city tattoo and piercing parlors from Park Slope to the Lower East Side on Monday, the first day of the Big Apple’s Phase 3 of reopening.

.It.s insane,.. said Matthew Mayfield, a 32-year-old piercer at The End is Near in Brooklyn.

Yes. NYC is insane. As this dude found out since this article was written.

.We are completely booked for today and tomorrow. . Saturday and Sunday are completely booked. Friday, there are two spots left. It went in seconds,. he said of the open schedule.

Since customers must wear masks, they’re getting piercings elsewhere, Mayfield said.

Because we can’t use faces to express ourselves anymore.

Am I the only guy who understands the importance of people having faces visible to each other? It’s only how God wired us to emote, which alone is sufficient motivation for the wicked to do what they’ve done. But… can nobody else feel the effects of not seeing a human face for upwards of two years now? I get agitated… sort of an uncanny valley effect.

.Almost all of them are getting ear piercings. There’s an eyebrow piercing. We have a few nipple piercings later,. said the Park Slope worker.

Jared Hunter, a 40-year-old ink artist at Williamsburg Tattoo, said he has been working on coronavirus-themed artwork to offer customers.

One drawing, which Hunter calls an .old-school, pin-up-style COVID girl,.. features a sexy woman . in a face mask.

That’s like cropping the heads off porn models, so the viewer can more easily see them as meat sacks. Although to be fair, a lot of those porn models have faces that would kill a mood, if you know what I mean.

The design shows “the face of America now,.. the Brooklyn artist said.

Michelle Sirgoo, 43, manager at First Class Tattoo on the Lower East Side in Manhattan, added, .We’ve had a few requests for Statue of Liberty tattoos with face masks.

I can’t say they’re wrong.

.It.s something for people that want to live the nostalgia of this time,.. [Mayfield] said. .Sh-t man, we’re halfway through this f.king year like this..

Oh, he had no idea….

Kayla Pasko, a 27-year-old writer for VegOut Magazine, was at NYC Tan on Staten Island for some quarantine relief.

.Normally, I tan at the gym, but it’s closed, so I decided to check this out,. Pasko said of the salon. .I did the stand-up booth, and yeah! I got good color!

That’s just wrong, Barbie.

.I.m just trying to get back to a sense of normalcy,.. she said. .Outdoor dining, now tanning, just testing the waters, getting out! I’m sick of being home…

Another tanning customer, Jennifer Massa, 41, said, .I’ve been going to the beach, but I wanted to give them the business. I know they’re struggling, and they are such good people there.

.Plus, I needed to even out and tan my back a little.

Good to hear. I was about to connect the dots between “government allowed tanning booths to open” and “but not the beaches”.

People are getting coronavirus tattoos . with some saying they think they.ll protect them from Covid-19

h ttps://metro.co.uk/2020/08/07/people-are-getting-coronavirus-tattoos-saying-think-protect-covid-19-13099492/

By Jessica Lindsay, 7 August 2020

Somehow, that headline made me think about mass migration.

For some people, the best way to remember something so momentous is to tattoo it into their bodies.

The trend of coronavirus tattoos is well underway, with drawings including the virus itself or pin-up girls in masks. But some have come to the belief that these tattoos will actually protect them from Covid-19.

Andres Vega, a tattoo artist from Spain, has been inking designs on clients for 21 years. Recently he’s received several requests from doctors and nurses coming into his tattoo shop asking for Covid-19 tattoos to commemorate the struggles they faced in their profession as care workers during the pandemic.

Don’t go there.

I SAID, don’t go there!

Apparently for some people, the most traumatic part of the Plandemic lockdowns was not the Chinaballs.

For one client of Matthew Vazquez, 22, Hawthorne, California, it meant more than just a memory. He inked a green microscopic virus tattoo on his customer, who believed having that tattoo would protect her from the virus. He said: .The person that wanted the tattoo was very confident.

.She said if she were to get the Covid tattoo on herself she.d be protected indefinitely. She wanted to get to look back at it as a reminder that she lived through the pandemic.

.I thought it was a great idea and kind of a cool way to look at it! Like, maybe try to look at the brighter side of things sometimes..

A reminder that we lived through the pandemic? Worth a try. *GQ gets inked*

Several people I’ve talked to online are facing ostracism or layoffs in retaliation for refusing the vaxx. A few governments, including California in a few days, will be implementing two-tier systems of rights and privileges to coerce voluntary compliance.

You read that right. “Coerce voluntary compliance” and I mean exactly that. Just as capital-E Evil is compelled to tell you what they’re doing, albeit in a way that makes you laugh it off, they are also compelled to make you hurt yourself rather than take direct action.

Fortunately, thus far in USA the Normies seem reluctant to persecute and report dissidents. Pakistanis are not so lucky… OR ARE THEY?

Pakistan: Punjab govt to block SIM cards of those reluctant to get vaccinated against Coronavirus

h ttps://www.opindia.com/2021/06/pakistan-punjab-block-sim-cards-not-vaccinated-against-coronavirus/

By Staff, 11 June 2021

On Thursday (June 10), the provincial government of Punjab in Pakistan announced that it would block the SIM cards of those individuals reluctant to get vaccinated against the Wuhan Coronavirus. It was decided during a high-level meeting of civil and military leaders, with Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid as the Head.

The decision was confirmed by the Specialised Healthcare Department (Punjab) spokesman Syed Hammad Raza. He informed, .Final decision has been taken to block the mobile SIM cards of people not getting vaccinated.” The measure comes following criticism of the “dead slow” pace of vaccination in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Until June 1, the government had vaccinated only 4.2 million people (6.3%) out of the total target of 67 million.

Those AMATEUR bureaucrats! Smartphones are a tyrant’s wet dream of tracking & tracing the population. This sort of pressure tactic works when you have only a few dissidents. When 94% of the people are dissident, however… well, who are those 6% going to talk to? They’re not exactly a unified subculture, for example all being graduates of Harvard.

If you turn off everybody’s phone then nobody will have a phone, and they will all hate you, and you won’t be able to monitor who is talking to whom as they prepare to overthrow you.

And then, the young women won’t be able to whore for attention and freelance porn money, and will be forced to care about the nice young man next door.

Reportedly, vaccinated individuals will be allowed to go to malls, restaurants, and cinema halls.

Similarly, reducing malls and restaurants to 6% of their potential customer base is not going to pressure people to get vaxxed. It will pressure business owners to murder you before they lose their livelihoods. This being the Mideast and not Panda-merica.

At the same time, individuals with terminal illnesses will be vaccinated on priority.

/facepalm. “Hail, Vaxxer! We who are about to die, salute you! Thank you for not wasting this miracle cure on people who are expected to be alive next week!” Which is this, a virtue signal or a morbidity cover-up? I would not take an untested vaccine either, if it was preferentially being given to people who would be dead before results could be reliably known.

Besides, walk-in-vaccination centres and mobile vaccination camps will be set up outside major shrines in the Punjab province. Businesses will be allowed to fully open in districts where over 20% population has been vaccinated.

“Get vaxxed or this third party guy that you don’t care about gets it! And you can just forget about calling your mother-in-law!”

“It’s easy! It’s convenient! It’s the gulag if you didn’t!”

Earlier on June 9, the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) announced that all public and private sector employees need to be vaccinated mandatorily. At the same time, all government employees need to be fully vaccinated by the end of the month. The Sindh government had also warned to stop the salaries of government employees who refuse to get vaccinated. Pakistan hopes to vaccinate 70 million (7 crores) people by the end of December 2021.

If this sounds like things are happening rather suddenly in Paki health circles…

On June 1, Pakistan launched a Chinese Covid-19 vaccine- “PakVac” developed with Chinese help. The Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr Faisal Sultan announced that the mass production of the vaccine will begin soon. Thanking China, Sultan said, “China was already a friend and came forward when coronavirus hit Pakistan.” He also lauded the National Institute of Health (NIH) for its pathbreaking development.

…it’s possible that ((generous people)) want to get paid and are nervous about low initial sales. And for once, I don’t mean JooZ.

Always stand your ground when you know you’re innocent. Never apologize, not even for hurting feelings. Even if things don’t go your way, you’ll still be vastly better off.

Jury imposes $500K verdict on pastor accused of rape after he refused to apologize to victim

h ttps://www.christianpost.com/news/jury-imposes-500k-verdict-on-pastor-accused-of-rape.html

By Leonardo Blair, 10 June 2021

Pastor Lewis Clemons of Kingdom Awareness Ministries International in Columbus, Georgia, could have settled a civil case against him for zero dollars if he agreed to acknowledge and record a public apology for allegedly sexually abusing and raping his former congregant, Lequita Jackson. He refused and went to trial.

Smart man. I know he’s innocent of rape because this was a civil trial, not a criminal trial… a civil trial whose purpose was to manufacture evidence for that criminal trial as well as an endless stream of future MeToo accusations.

Can you imagine if Clemons had taken that ticket and made a public admission of being a high-status rapist? He would have been accused by a legion of new feminists, some of whom probably wouldn’t even be about to prove they’d ever met the guy. And they probably wouldn’t have to. Paying half a million to avoid that is a bargain.

On Wednesday, a jury in the Superior Court of Muscogee County ruled in favor of [Lequita] Jackson and imposed a $500,000 verdict against him.

Yes, this is As Seen On Wakanda TV. I don’t doubt that Pastor Clemons got frisky with a girl when he shouldn’t have. I do doubt that it was anything not-consensual.

In 2017, Jackson and another of Clemons. former congregants, Lakisha Smith, accused the pastor in a civil lawsuit of using his position as a spiritual leader to sexually abuse them.

“He was a child molester,” said Jackson at the time, alleging that Clemons began abusing her at 15. “He was a sexual predator who needed to be stopped. I just kind of accepted it at that age,” she said.

Don’t stick your dick in Lakisha. In Stupid, I mean.

Now 33, Jackson, who is married with two children of her own, said she was so traumatized by her experience, it took her five years before she was able to open up to her husband about what she endured.

In a letter to Clemons, Jackson’s lawyers said:

” … To seriously discuss settling this case, you would have to be willing to make a video statement that: 1. acknowledged all of your sexual misconduct .; and 2. genuinely apologized for that sexual misconduct; and 3. acknowledged that you have seriously harmed many, many women who trusted you as their spiritual leader.

Talk about dodging a bullet! Dayumn, this girl wanted to franchise her gimmiedat lawsuit against Clemons.

.Ms. Jackson would then watch the video. She would then decide, in her sole discretion, whether the video sufficiently met the requirements above. She would have sole control over the distribution of the video. She would be authorized to share the video publicly and with anyone that she chose..

There IS a sexual predator in this story. It ain’t Clemons.

.Lequita Jackson is a wonderful client and it was an honor to provide her with her day in court,. Jackson’s attorney, Jeb Butler of Butler Law Firm, said in a statement to The Christian Post on Thursday. .Lewis Clemons is a liar and a fraud, and I hope neither my client nor I have to see him again for as long as he lives..

He’s upset that the scam didn’t take off.

Fellow attorney Morgan Lyndall praised Jackson for her strength in standing up to Clemons and noted that she hopes “the verdict sent a message that sexual assault and rape are never OK..

And of course, all sex is rape.

A woman was accidentally sent $1.2M and chose to keep it instead of returning. A situational ethics problem, presented by somebody too educated to understand the concept.

What are the ethics of giving back money that doesn’t belong to you?

h ttps://theconversation.com/what-are-the-ethics-of-giving-back-money-that-doesnt-belong-to-you-159497

By Kate Padgett Walsh, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Iowa State University2 June 2021

Oh boy, a philosophy major with an ethics question. Will this one have answers to offer, or will she take the Hedge Fund Manager’s shilling?

In Monopoly, a player who draws the card that says .BANK ERROR IN YOUR FAVOR. COLLECT $200. gets to keep the money.

But what happens when such a mistake occurs in real life?

Kelyn Spadoni, a 911 dispatcher, recently received quite a bit more than the US$80 she was expecting when financial brokerage firm Charles Schwab mistakenly transferred more than $1.2 million to her account, apparently because of a software glitch. When she discovered the extra money, she promptly transferred those funds to her other accounts and bought a new car and house, among other purchases.

Another Wakandan fell into the usual pattern of fools and their money.

One could ask whether it was unethical for her to keep the money instead of trying to return it. As a scholar who studies the ethics of debt and finance, I believe the answer is more complex than a simple “yes” or “no.”

No. The Schwab ‘terms of service’ say you have to give back any accidental overpayments. This must happen frequently for them. I had to find an Aussie news outlet to discover that detail… American media outlets, liberal and conservative both, are Converged to the point of copypasta.

PhD scholar 0, Internet nobody 1.

Consider another example: Suppose you found a wallet full of cash lying on the ground. Usually, the right thing to do would be to contact the wallet’s owner and return it, money included.

Usually, you don’t find abandoned wallets full of cash. Serious question: under what circumstances does that happen?

I know exactly one time that it happened in real life, to a friend-of-a-friend who found a cash-stuffed wallet in the middle of the street one day. I’m talking a $5k-stuffed wallet, no ID. She dutifully called the police.

“This is on which street? *keyboard noises* Were there gunshots in your area last night?”

“Yes.”

“That’s drug money you got there, honey. The deal went south. You can turn it in and we’ll keep it, but we won’t be giving it back to Tyrone if you know what I mean.”

“I’ll keep it, then.”

“Thought you might. Congratulations, honey. *click*”

Yeah, so, wallets of cash don’t just lie around. If Charles Schwab is losing a million bucks at a time due to ‘banking errors’, enough that they had to reword their contracts, then I smell something shady. I’ll have more at the end but first, let’s let Philosophy Professor Barbie hit rock bottom. Remember for the following, that she doesn’t know that Spadoni had an explicit contractual obligation to return the cash.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle helped to explain why people normally have a moral obligation to return the belongings of others. Being truthful and treating others fairly are key virtues in life, he argued. A good person acts with integrity and a sense of justice rather than being deceitful and greedy.

Only ‘normally’?

Spadoni not only spent much of the money she mistakenly received, but she refused to respond when Charles Schwab contacted her. For a whole month she ignored calls, emails and text messages the company sent her. She has since been arrested on charges of fraud and theft, apparently for trying to keep what did not not belong to her.

…Prima facie moral obligations depend on particular details of situations. Imagine, for instance, seeing a billionaire drop $10 on the ground. It would still be commendable to return that money, but the moral obligation to do so is weaker than in other cases.

It didn’t take long for Mizz Philosophy to settle for being a normally good person.

Similarly, it is notable that in Spadoni’s case, she received money because of an error by a large financial institution. Moral obligations to individuals do not always translate to the institutional level, especially when an institution itself does not treat people with integrity and fairness.

The Christian says “we must be honest”. The credentialed ethics professor says “we normally should try to be honest unless the situation is special.” (For the slow class, that means “don’t be honest”.)

Prima facie moral obligations can also be outweighed by other obligations. Imagine, for instance, that the person who found the wallet of cash needed money to provide housing or medical care for their children. Alternatively, imagine that the owner of the wallet was a notorious criminal who would use the returned cash to hurt others.

That’s just being female. Care-based morality!

These scenarios identify additional prima facie moral obligations to care for people in need and prevent harm to others. Doing what is right in real life requires weighing all of the relevant moral considerations.

Care. Based. Morality. Walsh might have a PhD in philosophy but her understanding of social ethics has not progressed beyond “babies”.

This is important because, while Spadoni’s case may appear unique, it is actually commonplace to receive money that belongs to others. Credit cards, mortgages, student loans and payday loans, for example, are all forms of credit in which the borrower temporarily receives money that is not their own.

The moral considerations people face when trying to pay back debts mirror the questions about what to do with money that is found or received in error.

No. When the financial elites make loans that they expect the borrower will never be able to repay, there’s an entirely different level of morality at work: usury.

Spadoni was not loaned that money. I strongly suspect that if she accidentally gave Schwab too much money, that Chucky would have had zero obligation to return it.

In an economy saturated with debt, with more than half of adults living from paycheck to paycheck, people can end up being forced to choose between making debt payments and getting medical care or paying for rent.

A small number of them can get relief by filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy protections are meant to help those whose debts interfere with access to important goods and services like food, housing, education and medical care. The idea is that debts shouldn’t take away people’s ability to provide for themselves and their family.

However, a 2005 law made it more difficult and costly to file for bankruptcy, especially for those who are already behind on bills. Many of the people who would benefit from declaring bankruptcy are unable to do so because they cannot afford the legal fees.

Yes, our banks are enslaving us using debt.

Wells Fargo, for instance, was fined $3 billion in 2018 for fraudulently signing people up for credit accounts with fees. And payday lenders operate by targeting people who are already struggling to make ends meet and signing them up for loans they may not be able to repay on time. When borrowers miss a payment, they experience ballooning interest rates and fees, miring them further in debt.

These examples indicate just some of the ways in which the obligation to return money to others really is a prima facie obligation and thus ultimately subject to limits in the real world.

Translation, Spadoni needed the money (quite possible) and Charles Schwab is an evil bankster group preying upon the weak & gullible (see below: Spadoni), therefore she gets to keep the money. Sisterhood uber alles.

You probably want to hear more about Spadoni.

I bet the parish cops just loved this dispatcher’s helpful and charming attitude.

h ttps://fortune.com/2021/04/14/schwab-erroneously-1-2-million-customers-account-thingst-really-crazy/

It.s not quite the nearly $1 billion blunder that Citigroup Inc. made last summer, but Charles Schwab Corp. said it accidentally sent more than $1 million to the Fidelity Brokerage Services account of a woman in Louisiana.

Schwab blamed an “issue created by a software enhancement” for erroneously transferring $1.2 million in February to the Fidelity account of Kelyn Spadoni, rather than the $82.56 she had requested, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in New Orleans last month. When the company realized the mistake and attempted to take the money back, it was gone and Spadoni wasn’t answering her phone, the bank said.

After a month of failed attempts to recover the cash, Schwab filed a criminal complaint on April 6, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Captain Jason Rivarde said. Spadoni, 33, was arrested the next day in Harvey, Louisiana, on charges of bank fraud, theft and illegal transmission of monetary funds, he said. She.d transferred about $350,000 into another account and used it to buy a 2021 Hyundai Genesis sport-utility vehicle and a home, Rivarde said.

.The vast majority of the missing money has been recovered at this point by the seizure of the vehicle and the reversal of the house sale,. Rivarde said.

Spadoni was fired from her job as a 911 dispatcher in the parish, Rivarde said. She was released April 8 on a bail bond, court records show.

I would not call it morally wrong for her to keep the accidentally-given money in violation of a one-sided contract. However, if you play the fat cats’ game of “rules for thee but not for me” then don’t live where they can reach you. Spadoni should have gone back to Africa. *GQ ducks*

It’s odd that I reached the same conclusion as Ms. Walsh. In my case, I simply don’t regard that contract clause as being valid. “If we make a mistake in your benefit then you have to repay it”? Not unless that comes with “we promise to never ‘update’ this contract after you’ve agreed to it and certify that if our employees get caught doing anything shady, we must reimburse you on penalty of our entire boardroom going to prison on fraud charges”.

No more one-way streets. No more too-big-to-fail. No more adhesion contracts written by the bureaucrat for the benefit of the powerful.

Schwab.s mistake is among the technical blunders — such as misplaced decimal points and “fat finger” errors — that financial firms dread. But it’s a trifle compared to the goof by Citigroup last summer. The bank meant to make an interest payment to Revlon Inc. lenders and instead wired them the principal, too, totaling $900 million. A judge later ruled many of the lenders could keep the money, though that decision is on appeal.

That makes sense because Citigroup accidentally repaid the loan. Which begs the questions of why they took out a loan they didn’t need and then insisted, with the force of the State, to be allowed to stay in debt.

But Citigroup’s misadventure pales in comparison the error made in 2018 by Deutsche Bank AG, which inadvertently transferred 28 billion euros ($33.4 billion) to one of its outside accounts.

On the one hand, mistakes happen. On the other hand, banksters fling so much money around, often between secret or encrypted accounts, that there was insufficient oversight on a $33b transfer. There’s got to be skullduggery going on. In fact, we know there’s skullduggery just from their one-two punches of “easy credit, hard bankruptcy”.

I’ve have a lot of thoughts bouncing around in my head lately. Rather than go dark and ponder on things for a week, bear with me as I analyze a problem coming to a neighborhood near you!

The Superrich Bought Up This Idaho Town and Regular Folks Now May Have to Live in Tents

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/superrich-bought-idaho-town-regular-085413034.html

By Kate Briquelet, 8 June 2021

Affordable housing in Ketchum.the Idaho resort community adjacent to billionaire and celebrity playground Sun Valley.has been a problem for decades.

For my international readers, Sun Valley is the Idaho version of Pebble Beach in California or the Hamptons in Florida. It’s a residential area where land values have passed infinity, to the point where only the most wealthy can afford to buy housing there… and even they rarely live there themselves because there are few services. Either they bring a platoon of cooks, gardeners and other servants with them or they only visit for a few weeks of the year.

Often enough, the owners never visit at all, using the land’s sky-high value as a sort of bank. It’s a shame when you think about it. The best homes that a prosperous nation can offer are rarely enjoyed as homes.

You won’t find a burger joint or Walmart in between megamillion-dollar mansions. Modern transportation being efficient, such enclaves are now frequently supported by neighboring communities. With predictable consequences:

But the situation is becoming so dire in the wake of COVID-19 that city officials are considering an unusual range of quick fixes.including building tent cities and RV parks for the common folk in the ultra-rich mountain town, where the average median home listing price is hovering above $900,000.

Residents and housing activists say their friends and neighbors, some whose families have lived in Ketchum for generations, are being priced out as landlords sell buildings to well-heeled buyers and out-of-town investors. The problem is exacerbated, they say, by property owners renting homes for a bigger profit on sites like Airbnb to short-term remote employees escaping Silicon Valley and big cities.

No, STUPID-19 is not a game-changing black swan. At best, it hurried the process along. Neither are city officials considering unusual fixes. Slavery and dispossession are exactly what results when the wealthy take over a neighborhood. Yes, I meant SLAVERY because tent cities are not acceptable for the Idaho winter. Dump Greta Thunberg’s bony ass in the Sawtooths for a January, watch if she still says propane is a bad idea.

The wealthy want expensive land and cheap labor.

The middle class wants expensive labor and cheap land.

City officials want to provide cheap housing so that cheap labor can afford it? Sellouts!

.There’s a joke going around: you either have three houses in Ketchum or three jobs,. said Kris Gilarowski, a hospitality worker and father of two who recently launched a Facebook group titled Occupy Ketchum Town Square to address the housing crisis.

Socialist agitation is not a solution.

And those losing homes and apartments aren’t just service industry workers, but teachers, nurses, and other professionals who are fast becoming the hidden homeless in the picturesque city of roughly 2,800 people.

There lies the tragedy of unchecked centralization of wealth. Everybody gets sorted into the “have” and “have not” piles. The correct solution?

NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO LIVE THERE UNLESS THEY WORK THERE.

It’s that simple. Big money comes along and offers you $1,000,000 for your $200,000 house? You tell him no and sell to a young family instead. A Gay Area renter offers you $3k for a $750/month rental? Tell him where to shove it, like his boyfriend does.

The solution is that simple but if you don’t worship God then you probably worship money. Why wouldn’t you?

As local TV station KTVB reported, some temporary housing solutions weighed by city officials include .a plan to allow Ketchum’s nurses, teachers, and service workers to sleep in tents in the city park as rent and housing costs continue to soar out of their grasp..

Thus demonstrating where the city officials’ loyalty lies. Not with their people.

The discussions come at a time when one developer is seeking approval for an affordable housing complex downtown called Bluebird Village but facing backlash from residents who claim the building will be an eyesore and absorb valuable parking spaces.

Had they mentioned “rent control” or “Section 8” then I would also have objected. ‘Affordable housing’ now means different things in different contexts.

They also follow another developer’s $9 million sale of an affordable apartment building called KETCH, leaving residents unable to pay new rates imposed by the new landlord. (At a recent city council meeting, one KETCH resident said the new owner increased rents by 50 to 60 percent. .He wants me to be paying $1,700 for 425 square feet. It’s insane, it shouldn’t have happened,. the woman said.)

It’s nationalism writ small. When your neighbors do not care about your well-being, they follow the yellow brick road, so to speak. This is a class migration rather than an ethnic migration but similar rules apply.

.One of the biggest oppositions to Bluebird and any affordable housing, really, was aesthetics,. Reid Stillman, a mayoral candidate who works in advertising and is scrambling to find rental housing himself, told The Daily Beast. .That is so embarrassing when we’re dealing with human lives..

.We have this older generation worried about the look and color of the brick of the building,. Stillman added. .What they don’t understand is these are the people that serve them food, sell them clothes, bag their groceries. and you’re not allowing them to have affordable places to live because you’re worried about the color of brick in town..

Ah, Baby Boomers. They aren’t the sum total of all evil, just the ones for which evil worked best. The first generation of Marxists does very well because the first parasites get to feed on a healthy host. Successive generations of parasites suffer diminishing returns, which is the pattern producing Antifa and BLM. It’s hard to eat your society’s seed corn when it’s already gone.

You see similar behaviors in atheists. The first generation to reject God still had a moral upbringing so few of them go full necro-nihilist. A couple “winner takes all, survival of the fittest” generations later, however, and 1Gen wonders why the kids fantasize about slitting throats. “Don’t they know that such behavior is wrong?”

Meanwhile, Gilarowski said he’s heard from long-term residents who received notices of rent hikes anywhere from $600 to $1,500.and one well-paid hospital worker lived in his car for three weeks because he couldn’t find a place to live.

*singing* Welcome to the Hotel California….

It’s not our people you should fear. It’s our money. You can keep Californians away just by imposing a “work here to live here” requirement. No Federally-defined form of discrimination needed.

Gilarowski shared another horror story at a special city council meeting last month to address the crisis: A couple was living in a tent in Sawtooth National Forest for 94 days through January before they found affordable housing.

Seriously, tent cities in the Sawtooth Mountains winter is a bad idea.

.I do support the city of Ketchum opening up some public spaces, so people could temporarily park an RV, pitch a tent, because then we can’t hide from these people,. Gilarowski said at the meeting. .These are the people that work at your school. These are the people that work at your local business. These are the people that serve you. I know some of you put up your $8 million houses . but you don’t have compassion for working class people. You say you’re for community housing but “not this project, not that project…

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Gilarowski alluded to the wealth infused in Ketchum and neighboring Sun Valley, including Allen & Co..s annual media conference, sometimes referred to as a “summer camp for billionaires..…

.There’s so much wealth here and it’s kind of embarrassing to hear that people, families, decide to live for 94 days in a national forest, hidden,. Gilarowski said.

The wealthy didn’t get wealthy by treating you proles as equals and paying you triple wages. On the rare occasion it happens, such as Henry Ford thinking that his workers should be able to afford the automobiles they build, the wealthy guy becomes a hero… but there’s no profit in that, now is there?

Ketchum Mayor Neil Bradshaw raised a variety of possible solutions to the housing crisis at the council meeting: using city funds to rent hotel rooms this summer and encouraging local residents to rent out spare rooms. He also floated using public lands, including parks or parking lots, for temporary tent sites or RV parking.

Bradshaw said Ketchum’s Rotary Park could house a number of tents, has public restrooms and was across from a YMCA, which has showers. .It would require a certain level of qualification to stay there, so the people would have to show they are working for a local business and contributing to our economy in a certain way. It wouldn’t just be for roadtrippers passing through Ketchum,. Bradshaw told the crowd.

Per http://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2020-03-23/ketchum-mayor-on-covid-19-isolation-order-the-streets-are-deathly-quiet , Bradshaw considers himself a “man of the world”, has lived in London and San Francisco, and last year cooperated with a total isolation order upon his community… confining people in the small town to their homes instead of just closing to outsiders, then bragging about how kind they were being to each other.

But Stillman blamed Bradshaw and city officials for not acting sooner and called the tent city for nurses and teachers .a joke..

Not a funny joke, either. I say again:

.We have homeless people,. Stillman countered at the meeting. .They may not be on the street and you may not see them, which is good for you and good for business. But they’re living on couches, they’re in our friends. houses, they’re in tents up north, they’re camping down south, they’re doing anything they can to get to work here in town.

.We’re not just talking waitresses and waiters,. Stillman added. .We’re talking nurses, and medical supply people, teachers. My best friend works at Montessori school.he.s a teacher, he has nowhere to live..

Stillman said his own landlord sold his apartment building and he must be out by September. .I make good money and I still can’t find a place,. Stillman said. .So it’s not just affecting one income level . To live in a tent in Rotary Park is a joke especially for people who need WiFi, have to work and have to make a living. That’s a joke..

.Not only am I going to be homeless with a good job Sept. 1, but my friends who are in the service industry who don’t make a lot of money, they can’t pay $2,900 a month for a two bedroom in Ketchum. This isn’t San Francisco, Neil,. Stillman fumed.

Merely San Jose… sorry, that wasn’t funny either.

In an interview on Monday, Stillman told us Ketchum suffers from a disconnect among the city’s classes, a situation that stymies action on workforce housing. He said there’s everyday permanent residents who have three to four jobs just to live in the city, second-homers who travel in for vacations, and extremely wealthy people who own a house in Ketchum which they visit only a week or so out of the year.

.Not everyone has a seat at the table,. Stillman said. .I feel our current leader caters to a certain population and there’s not an open line of communication with longterm residents..

It sucks when your own people sell you out, whether locally, nationally or ethnically. That’s exactly what I’m dealing with in my headspace these days.

Bradshaw told The Daily Beast that the tent housing was only one idea suggested during a community workshop and bristled at The Daily Beast, and local media, playing up the specter of tent cities. He said Ketchum city planners are also looking into whether elderly homeowners could rent out rooms in their homes in exchange for tenants helping with yard work or other chores…

What a tone-deaf piece of shit he is. “If you can’t afford $3k per month in rent then maybe you can do some chores in return for a Baby Boomer letting you use their spare bedroom.”

… and into altering city code to allow RVs on private property or using federal funds for rental assistance.

Somebody thought being mayor would be a free ride with no hard decisions.

The city’s hands are tied, Bradshaw said, because its taxing authority is limited.other hotspots for the uber-rich like Aspen, Colorado, for example, enjoy a real-estate transfer tax that Idaho lacks.and it’s unable to limit Airbnb, VRBO and other short-term rentals because of a 2017 state law.

.We have a very wealthy population and most of them are very supportive of affordable housing although, you know, always wanting something else that’s maybe not quite in their backyard,. Bradshaw said.

That’s. The. Problem. And it’s why a man needs the moral strength to say No to easy money.

In recent months, a retired doctor named Gary Hoffman parked a trailer throughout Ketchum and covered it with a massive sign that declared, .What The One Percenters Ignore: Affordable housing has always been the lifeblood of a vibrant community. A town dies when its most productive people cannot afford to live in it.” Hoffman’s banner also demanded in all caps: .Worker housing now!.

The 79-year-old physician owns a pair of mobile home parks just outside Ketchum and a rental cabin on a 28-acre ranch about 24 miles south of the city.

After the tenant of the cabin announced she was moving out, Hoffman placed a rental ad in the local newspaper, for $650 a month, and received 85 phone calls in 48 hours. .It went to the second person who called. So I had 83 more calls to field,. he said.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! He could have charged triple that but instead, did a good deed. He’s not going broke. His world isn’t ending because he didn’t negotiate the best possible deal.

How did America become so mercenary?

The doc saw it as an opportunity to galvanize more residents into fighting for affordable housing. .Everybody I talked to after that, I said, .What the hell are you doing to get things changed around here? What are you doing besides bemoaning the fact that we don’t have housing? Are you going to meetings? Are you writing letters to the editor, are you protesting, are you picketing, are you going down to Boise and haranguing the legislators who said Airbnbs and VRBOs are wonderful in resort communities?..

On Monday, Hoffman was busy doing his own roofing repairs at the mobile home park since he couldn’t find construction workers who were immediately available. .There’s a lot of construction already, everybody who’s got a contracting construction company is working to the max,. Hoffman said.

The mobile home parks are some of the area’s only workforce housing, where tenants pay an average of $550 a month. Many of Hoffman’s tenants work in construction, landscaping or basic clerical work, speak Spanish as a first language, and “do the work nobody else wants to do,. he said.

Aww, he was that close to having my respect. He’s still doing a good deed, though, what with not being greedy.

.People look at the parks I have and they say, .My God, you could double your rents.” People are working, they live there,. Hoffman told us. .Why would I do that if I don’t need the money? And I don’t, so there you go..
