If it is so simple to see this as a misstep, and something that will backfire, and something with really bad timing... I get to wondering, why on earth would they risk it? and... The principle (I hate to say it like that) of the deployment of "Useful Idiots" does not depend upon the socio-economic position of the Idiot, only on the intelligence and information hierarchy... i.e. it depends on the manipulated not being as smart as and possessing less information (or simply missing some important information) than the manipulator, and does not know they are being manipulated (or at least does not know in what respect they are being manipulated). With multiple agitators. agents, tipsters etc. persons on the inside and on the outside... a 4D chess-player /kung-fu master (and yes I am mixing metaphors) should be able to execute a feint and lure a premature and misguided attack without an opponent ever knowing it... a fatal mistake of an attack before... BOOM counter attack. What if the MAGA Genius Generals or the Chief himself had people "tip" to the Corrupted on the inside, about some juicy, irresistible things lurking in Mar a Lago... and hinted it as a way to disqualify running for 2024 based on it... and spun a story that painted a path to the promised land of Re-establishing the Deep State in all its former glory or beyond... but was a complete albeit plausible fabrication... what if it were all sparked by an irresistible ruse?

Ye Gods I hope you are right!

Ok so, would a third party formed by these folks be a predator class of both sides party, or a mixed economy centrist "for the people" party? Former Republicans and Democrats form new third U.S. political party WWW.REUTERS.COM Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's...

Yeah… like He Soros Gates and the rest of the predators won’t continue to own multiple luxury cars yachts and jets….

Guess she didn’t know how much Biden loved Cockroaches, (he probably liked to sniff em’…. ) or maybe she did.

I've heard that the mRNA based vaccines are more finicky with regard to taking care of them. I wonder if they can go bad ... Canada has a public health care system and it really is not that great.

This is too localized to be blamed on the Jab generally everywhere... this reads as possibly some local link...

I see a typo... the Sun meant to report that the hospitals "announced" or "proclaimed" or "issued a statement".

Evil can be astoundingly well learned and well bred.

Ah... I see. Each league unto itself. Makes sense.

I still stand by my statement "having an unbalanced advantage in a ill-defined class is cheating, and defining the classes right can thwart that cheating" but I am not using it to excuse all the chemical and physical butchery. You raise a good point. Even the Olympics in the past were careful to ban doping and unnatural augmentation... it's hard for me to come up with a good standard that aims at "natural human" competition, but that I guess is at least a start. I suppose any surgical or chemical procedure which makes a person perform better than they ever could through natural means (good diet, exercise, training, practice... etc), should be banned, but then it gets dicey as we learn more about the body and what we can do to maximize it, and as more advanced technology becomes available... is it clear when means are unnatural? e.g. If a person takes extreme pain killers and muscle building foods to do more reps with higher weights and to build muscle more quickly is that .. unnatural? In F1 they don't just set budget caps, they have rules about what the car can and cannot do... but even that has evolved... Do you have a standard for sports?

There were natural boundaries which created different groupable persons. We were not capable of medically induced chemical or surgical "cross breeding" between the two kinds of bodies. A person's willingness and actual ability to have the characteristics they started out with changed to some other, to any degree and in any capacity means we end up with a chimerical menagerie of mixtures. This will get worse as the secular world embraces a "brave new world" which wholly turns its back on nature in favor of designer humanity. Muscle transplants, sex hormones, growth hormones, bone augmentation through puberty... I mean ultra rich people will be able to spend money for almost any procedure and augmentation modern science can achieve. In any case, with all the interventions, simply classifying based on XY or XX, or even how one grew up or experienced puberty might not be enough for a sporting chance within the group. A boy who was castrated by his parents early in life (before puberty) might actually be good at a sport, appropriate to compete with the girls... and sport might be one of the few things left in life for him, since he wont be able to have kids. In the end having an unbalanced advantage in a ill-defined class is cheating, and defining the classes right can thwart that cheating.

Some principles of a philosophy of sport are probably needed here. Clearly everyone is different based on nature alone... we all start at different places, and competition is fair when the competitors started close enough to each other so that with training and effort, and skill etc. they can be competitive... i.e. its probable for them to win if they have the right virtues and exercise them and go up against someone who has and does not. Classes of sport, and being the best within a class depend on the class providing a likely opportunity for good competition within its ranks. Some sports have addressed this by creating, in addition to sex and age classes, weight classes. It's a very crude categorization/method but it does work to some degree, especially in some combat based sports. Age is is almost a no brainer given the drastic size, strength, and coordination differences as humans develop. There were and are good reasons in the reality of the bodies of men and women to have the sex classifications. Although, the classification of sex, once made sense and worked, it can no longer be used in a twisted and mixed up culture. So the task is to get at what was correct about the classification in the first place. What is it about the nature of the sporting male or female that made the separation proper? I'm not sure if this does it but replacing sex with "density" classes, or "muscle to weight ratios", in addition to height classes might work in some sports. No matter how irrational sports might be to, for example a droid, in the end what's fair in sports depends on a sense of "fair play" and "good sportsmanship". Someone who does not understand those terms or denies their coherency, should probably have nothing whatever to do with sport, or any similar human activity.

Do you think we've all been hoodwinked by China? I mean how many evil geniuses can be hired out of so many billions of people.... they could have a department of evil geniuses. Why is it everyone in the West is pointing at each other on every scale and for every reason, but China's rep almost completely unscathed? Perhaps they have been planning and acting for decades -Make the west dependent on China's manufacturing -Destroy western capability of independence and addict them to artificially low priced goods. -Infiltrate and erode culture -Release bioweapon -Activate propaganda machine, bots, agitation -Support or decry as necessary BLM, LGBTQ, WEF, Politicians, movements... shadow play both and all sides against each other. - Arson during heat waves - Assassinate doctors in Toronto.... to create distrust -Erode, Weaken, Divide and conquer -Spread rumors of chaos and weakness in China...while strengthening itself... -West crumbles... China comes to "rescue"?? Who is the bigger Black Titanic Monster really controlling the strings... Billionaires or the CCP?

I've never bought the idea that generally Dems want to let in people who will vote progressive or socialist, nor that Republicans want to keep progressives (or people of color) out... From a voting perspective, the spigots are controlling a flow IMHO vastly filled with people who reject banana republics, socialism, authoritarianism, and are hoping, just hoping America is (or will be at any rate) different from and freer than the rest of the crumbling west. I mean the risks they take, the distances they travel, giving up everything of their previous life...IMHO Most of those people clamouring to enter believe in equality of opportunity and capitalism and want that opportunity to live free and build a life for themselves. But that flow does, of course, include other kinds of opportunists, those of an unsavory nature, which when the border is unfiltered can slip into the country much easier. So, are they criminal leaders setting up local criminal networks or just dumb petty lone criminals contributing to chaos? Are political agitators slipping through or is any amount of added anarchy and chaos contributing to a state of crisis what we should be paying attention to? Would foreign agitators and agents slipping through? IS that why Republicans are called to action to tighten the borders up? Is that why Dems want looser borders... create crises and chaos,to bring it all crumbling down, to rebuild and reset everything?

Jakub Sawicki Lorne Segall Stephen McKenzie Paul Hannam I'd like to follow up with this as a way to validate the chatter and implications/allegations made by the posters... is it true, and is there any causal link, or is it merely a statistical anomaly?

Do you have links to the story?

You nail it, and it echos something Rand said in a revelatory crescendo of John Galt's speech, the utter soul shaking black revelation which struck me the first time I read it and still does every time I read it again: "They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die" and reminds me much of Rand's discussion of Envy and "hatred of the good for being the good". I'd like to market T-shirts to Leftists with the following on it: "Your integrity is triggering, and deeply offends my sense of hypocrisy."

This guy was demon[it]ized by Google because he uses his extensive expertise and exercises independent thought. (I know the "independent" is redundant but you get my drift) Roy Spencer, PhD WWW.DRROYSPENCER.COM Sorry about the size of the Youtube link preview... I don't know how to make it a reasonable size.

Soon to be leaked: "Official US Department of Environment study shows heat waves cause arson. A related finding that election cycles cause climate change could not be statistically proven."

Just to follow up my earlier queries, the Dutch people did not vote for the decimation of the farming industry, the Canadian people did not vote for political censorship and pseudo-nationalization of all main stream media, and the "We the People" of the US did not vote to cede power to the WHO over individual rights of Americans during pandemics... the former two are happening, although the latter only almost did ... some parts of the U.S. government apparatus were pushing for it. It seems to me that the checks and balances are lacking in the West. Is it because they are so far removed from the people? Do things move much too quickly in the modern world for our systems? Are our systems made for the elites or the people? Should there be more direct oversight of government by the people or more frequent elections etc? but does that leave things open to mob rule? I wonder if Rand and the Founding Fathers were alive today, what kind of Constitution and structures of Government with checks and balances would they come up with, and how would it be better able to protect individual rights in today's world. Somehow, there should be more mechanisms in place to strengthen each individual's relationship with the Constitution.... a more direct sense that one's own freedom depends upon one's own rejection of tyranny? I'm sorry, I HATE living in "interesting times".

I’ll continue to post here, but domestic corruption to my mind is different in kind to Foreign Collusion. One is cheatingly corrupt the other unfaithfully traitorous. 1. Has someone studied the phenomenon of unaccountable bodies or institutions in a monopoly turning corrupt and thereby increasing their own corruption through retirements and resignations? In cases without any accountability (elections or competition) resignations ONLY lead to the existence of a worse body or institution 2. The Thing it seems that multiple nations throughout the world are falling to or have fallen to some tentacle of the Thing, that Foreign Black Mass whose ambition is tyranny and slavery of the entire world… (whose true identity is elusive.. strings pulling strings) we have seen that one of its chief methods is corruption of officials and world leaders to betray their own people for a purported higher purpose… For the US, what are the defences against such a method of attack? The constitution has the Foreign Emoluments clause but is it strong enough? Should a new constitutional congress be called to amend the constitution to directly defend the people against such betrayal by government to that foreign behemoth?

Michael: I’m so glad you are interested. I have to say Sci Fi is usually is blended too much with fantasy or mysticism or a heavy dose of implausibility, but this one is plausible albeit Far future stuff… please give it a chance!! Your head will spin with wonder… and sometimes sheer delight! SL

Heh, for my selfish enjoyment of your enjoyment, please do!
