Pro-Vaccine Big Pharma Execs Invite You to D.C. to “Protest Against Vaccine Mandates” – Did You Forget What Happened on Jan. 6th 2021?
One year ago, on January 6, 2021, then President Donald Trump invited his supporters to join him in Washington D.C. for a "Stop the Steal" rally. They were angry that the election was stolen from Trump. One week before the rally, I published an article just after President Trump had signed into law a $2.3 TRILLION "COVID relief" bill robbing Americans at the expense of Wall Street Billionaires, and I wrote: "If you still think Trump is going to save the Republic and you are planning on heading to Washington D.C. on January 6th to show your support of him, you could very well be pu... read more

Scapegoating the Unvaccinated
Unless they have dispensations for medical reasons, Tony Blair thinks they're idiots. Emmanuel Macron wants to "piss them off" and carry on doing so until the pandemic ends.

At home and overseas, we're seeing hints of a new biopolitical strategy: making the unvaccinated scapegoats for our present difficulties. And from the standpoint of our Tory government, it's the logical culmination of the politics of the pandemic they've peddled for two years. As recently argued, prior... read more

“We Are All Like Elephants”*“We Are All Like Elephants”* by Marc Chernoff "In many ways, our past experiences have conditioned us to believe that we are less capable than we are. All too often we let the rejections of our past dictate every move we make. We literally do not know ourselves to be any better than what some opinionated person or narrow circumstance once told us was true. Of course, an old rejection doesn’t mean we aren’t good enough; it just means some person or circumstance from our past failed to align with what we had to offer at the time. But somehow we don’t see it that way - we hit a menta... read more

"When The Demons Come...""Here is a universal law: that when it comes to negative and positive, you will always thrive more powerfully in the positive if you have first been immersed in, and have heroically overcome, the polar opposite negative of that thing. To abide in the positive existence of something, without having known and overcome it's polar opposite - that is to be only a frame of the real structure. Easily toppled down and taken apart. True power is in the hands of the one who thrives in the positive, after having known and conquered the negative. Because when the demons come along, she will say... read more

Brace Yourselves For a Bracing 2022I know it's early days yet, but my nomination for the most annoying phrase of 2022 is "bracing for." In lieu of paying people to isolate and quarantine during the worst outbreak of Covid-19 yet, our leaders are instructing us to simply brace ourselves for the inevitable. People will simply have to sicken and die if capitalism is to survive. So take one for the team, Proles. Go back to work and school. Take a tip from Joe Biden, who reassured us just the other day that we have every reason to be "optimistic about 2020." After all, if you heard him say that, it means that you survi... read more

"All humans are somewhat nutty because they refuse pigheadedly to accept reality and, therefore, make themselves depressed, anxious, and enraged.*"I think that practically the whole human race is out of its goddamed mind and could use therapy. All of them, not equally so, are crazy. Males and females are biologically prone to think crookedly. They don't get it from their mothers, or [the latest political cause celebre]. They think crookedly because they are easily prone to do so. All humans are somewhat nutty because they refuse pigheadedly to accept reality and, therefore, make themselves depressed, anxious, and enraged.

Did Russia's Kalashnikov Steal a Shotgun Design from an American Video Game?*Peter Suciu* *Kalashnikov Concern, Russia* Kalashnikov reached out to indie game developer Ward B in early 2020. When a new shotgun design was unveiled, it looked familiar to the game developers. No one expects today's video games to be completely realistic – yet many game developers strive to get the smallest details correct, especially when it comes to small arms. This can include using 3D scans of the gun, and firing the weapons to correctly model the action or record the sounds of the firearm. This has certainly been true of military firearms. The AK-47 is quite ubiquitous ... read more
