In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

who SHOULD BE using force?
the people.
Thats because they CHEATED to get in office.
Sundance has been posting on the police. Here’s my experience
Growing up in the inner city I learned some things about the police. The police are not there to help or protect you. Their job is to protect the social elite from you in every way conceivable.
If you are poor to lower middle class, you learn early not to call the cops if you are a victim. They will be so pissed at having to come deal with you that they will arrest you or someone in your home on any pretext, and may try to provoke a response so they can beat the *** out of you to teach you better for the future.
As I slowly climbed the social ladder, I found that straight up middle class can hope for distinterested neutrality. They don’t have active animosity, they will take your information and information on the crime, then move on. There will be no investigation or resolution. But you won’t get arrested. Probably.
High middle class will begin to see some half hearted action. There is after all a chance that you know some of the social elite.
Social elite will see every deference made. In this class you will be protected in every way, even from the disagreeable proximity of the unwashed, even in public places
If you are not of the social elite, to the degree that you are safe in public, it is in places the elite may possibly find themselves.
Probably only 10% of cops are true sociopaths. The rest are just cynical people trying to make it to retirement and pension. The few that might truly care either leave or become cynical within a few years. They will keep their heads down and do what they are told to make it to said pension. Do not expect them to stand up for you or your rights regardless of the situation. If you are a friend or relative, it will be a different story if you are a victim, but not if you are in any way inconveniencing an elite.
I find this true in every town of every size.
Wow, eye opening.
“Eye opening????” Troll.
I’ve been here for several years, maybe better reply would have been I’ve never seen it put that way.
Brant, thank you for the suggestion. Point taken. TRoll was not directed to you but to Dodgson.
Here was my point: There was so much wrong with his thesis in general. The only thing “eye opening” thing in his account was that one person (he) has had that kind of experience with law enforcement. But to make broad generalizations about all economic groups and how all Law enforcement officers deal with each of those communities, not to mention claiming to have an understanding of the motivations of Law Enforcement. (Pensions, “protecting the “elite…”)
It does not stand up to basic critical analysis.
Law Enforcement are part of the Silver class of Plato’s Republic. They are the 5% of the population to protect the 1% Gold class. No middle class and the rest of the population are in the Bronze class.
Charles, I have seen very similar things during my life. I think you are spot on. As my sons were growing up, I would always caution them to fly under the radar because we didn’t need a cop showing up at our door. Once I got my suv vandalized because of my Trump sticker. The cop suggested that I did it for insurance money. They are NOT your friend.
Have an uncle who’s a LEO, advised me awhile back; “never affix any bumper stickers of any kind to your vehicle”
Good advice from a decent one.
Dabi-who? Troll.
George, Troll.
Are you drinking? In the last two pages you have accused regular commenters on being trolls, over and over. Why are you doing this?
Sigh….that’s what “moderation” is for.
Sigh…. “Am I drinking????”
You taught your sons to “fly under the radar?” Not sure I know what that means…
How about teaching your sons not to break the law? Don’t speed, if you are pulled over, cooperate with LEO.
A pull-over is not a debate.
So, cops are corrupt, uncaring, your enemy….interesting take and so in line with “DEFUND!”
This is so true.
While I could still pull it off, I had long hair and a certain image. I got pulled over for ‘driving while looking rock and roll’ a good number of times. No laws bent or broken, no tickets issued…..just harassment.
Later, as a middle aged, educated professional raising a family, I reported some bad nastiness in our neighborhood I was rather pointedly ignored.
Now I have some money and live in an affluent zip code. When I recently became the victim of a smallish theft, the police went into high gear to find the perps. They issued multiple subpoenas…and are still working the case several months later. I really do appreciate it, but the progression is pretty blatant.
I’m still the same law abiding conservative that I was in my long haired rocker days.
CarpeTrachea: Gotta watch out for you subversive, long-haired hippie types. Especially the ones with nice portfolios. 🙂
yeah the OP is spot on, and very similar to my experience growing up. I was a punk kid, for sure, and did not help matters. But even as a supposedly “privileged” white male i got the business from cops CONSTANTLY as a lower class, and it subsided quickly as i moved through the socio-economic ladder
I remember being thrown to the concrete in a chokehold… for jay-walking.
Then as a middle class guy, we had an attempted break in and the cops took a solid 20 minutes to show up, and their ONLY concern was that I put my firearm away before they got there. Once they showed up, it was 30 seconds of questions and they drove off in the opposite direction as what I told them we saw the perp go.
They are not there for us. and as governments accelerate their abdication of basic responsibilities, the vigilantism and lawlessness is going to increase rapidly.
You know, it’s pretty sad that not only is that your experience, but you think that is police all over.
While I have met a few bad apples, there for the power trip or whatever, most of the ones I have known are not remotely like you describe. I’ve lived in rural, small, and medium towns all over the south and a couple in the southwest.
I have no idea where you live, but where I am, like minded officers, military, and ex-military are strategizing with civilians and making plans for when it gets stupid.
I get that you hate the cops you have known, but at least where I am from, it’s not like that. And I doubt it’s like that in the vast majority of small towns. In small towns, you know everyone, and can walk into the sheriff’s or chief’s office and talk to him one-on-one about a bad officer and get them the h*ll out.
Oh, and for the record, the police aren’t there to “protect the upper middle class and the rich”.
They are the physical reminder of the law/order contract that we as a society agreed to. Once they are gone (and I have little doubt they will be because crooks want the gone and di*kheads who have had bad experiences paint them all with the same brush) then it’s open season. The cops are actually there to keep the criminal element from being “street justiced” by your normal, everyday, rum of the mill folks who just want to be left the h*ll alone.
I will humbly disagree with 111%.
While I will not paint any group with a broad brush I am very much in agreement with Mr Dodgson.
Having grown up in the inner city lower class, through my progression to upper middle class and partway down again, his representation is quite accurate.
In my experience I would say 1 to 5% of all police officers I have encountered were God-fearing men and women who believed in the possible salvation of those they encountered. I have family members who were victims of violence who were subsequently carted off to jail for no reason other than there was no one else to detain. In the 3 or 4 instances I refer to here, none were ever arraigned, warned, or issued a citation for their supposed indiscretion.
In my own personal experience, I have been detained simply because in the words of the officer involved “ I did not look like I belonged there”.
Suffice it to say, while I believe in law and order, I have no expectation that any Leo will have my best interests in mind. Not until they show me otherwise.
As a former Marine, I am ready and willing to defend my family, property, and neighbors against any enemy, foreign or domestic.
Feel free to disagree. I have no idea how many officers you have encountered, where, under what circumstances, or anything else. I get the impression that you are talking large city. Large cities suck for both sides. On average, in large cities, there are at best 43 officers per 10,000 people. Do that math.
As you are a former Marine, then you understand being outmanned and expected to perform your duties not matter what. Now, compare the training you got, to what the average officer gets before being thrown on the street.
As a grown person, you should never expect ANYONE to have your best interests in mind, except yourself. I mean, hello, in what world does any stranger care more about you than you care about yourself?
If you notice III, the post says inner city.
.
Over time, I have lived in both large cities and small towns.
.
Your characterization of small town local law enforcement is very similar to mine.
.
If you live in one of the top 15 large population centers, you find things are bit different.
Sure, which is why I keep saying “small town America”, and particularly the south. Maybe there is something up north, out west, or on the coast that makes folks stupid, including the cops.
Read some of the posts directly below this, III% and report back to us.
Oh I have. I get there are bad cops. I also know without a doubt, that the majority are actually decent. At least in the small and medium towns in the south. Maybe there is something in the north/west/coast that makes them stupid, along with the rest of the population, dunno, don’t care.
I stand by what I said. Where I am, the majority are good. Eventually there won’t be any local enforcement because crooks and d*ckheads will see to it. There will be a “federal” solution. It will go just like anything else the federal government does.
The same crooks and d*chheads that were insturmental in getting the local law enforcement “removed”, will then be all “shocked pikachu” when things get worse.
Me? I think I am gonna find a spot for some hogs, cause dam*ed if I wanna dig holes for the ones I end up having to shoot. I figure a couple of nice big males could do the trick, and it’s not like I’ll ever eat them anyway. They would be there for breeding.
Wow! I agree with you III%. These other comments do not even consider cops (who make little) having to contend with domestic violence, dead motorcycle riders, the horrors of preventable traffic deaths as they are cut out of cars, fire deaths, senseless dead kids from shootings, shop lifters, bank robberies, drownings, and on and on.
Everyday if is a new hate here. Teachers to doctors to now cops. This use to be a last refuge but now just everyday hate fest.
The hate the cop movement on here is beginning to get really, really interesting. The broad paint brushes that are normally avoided here are coming out more and more. It’s quite…….intriguing.
I’m not sure if it’s a case of so much pent up frustration from the last two years, new accounts seeded to promote ideas/ideologies, or just folks who really don’t understand what they are inviting, but it gets fascinating at times.
There is no “everyday hate fest” here. People are reacting to what they have seen especially the last few years. Many posters here saw the Trump rallies. They saw their follow citizens get beaten up and harassed and the police did nothing. The police did not “just do their jobs”.
In 2020 Americans watched their cities burn, businesses looted and burned, civilians murdered by mobs, police officers killed. They have watched while the tyrants tell them this is just a “summer of love” and “peaceful protests”. While all that was happening they watched while law enforcement “stood down” and did nothing. At the same time they watched as an innocent young man almost lost his life because he dared to defend himself. They watched while mothers and fathers, and even children get handcuffed for daring to leave their homes. They watched children being made to sit outside in the cold. They watched while a father got arrested because he dared to complain that his daughter was raped. They watched while their friends and loved ones died/were murdered because medical “professionals” sided with the tyrants and refused proper medical attention.
I daresay many of the people posting here are law abiding, hard working American citizens. They are speaking from pain and disappointment. They have had some very ugly truths rammed in their faces. And now because they say they have lost respect for the very people who are harassing and arresting them claiming to be “just doing their jobs” these people are now haters?
Yes, all these professions serve a purpose in an ordered society. Our society has been up ended and the practitioners in these professions have chosen sides. They have become torturers and bullies. They have chosen tyranny over freedom. The have chosen to beat and arrest elderly citizens because the tyrants say do it. Do not blame the victims. See the abusers for who they are. No. That is not hate. That is where the tyrants have brought our society.
Further, Americans watched as their churches were closed while liquor stores and abortion clinics were deemed “essential”. The one place most people go for solace and refuge in times of crisis, be it natural or man made, were closed and pastors – yes, pastors, the one group the tyrants used to fear, were arrested and church doors barred.
What self respecting police officer, knowing full well the horrific details of being a cop, would participate in the arrest of a Minister of the gospel? All the while standing by wile pantifa and blm throw feces at them?
Well said CCV. A lot of truth there.
LKaineLA
This isn’t the same page that it used to be pre migration to this new page.
Grandma is gone, her prayer although continued by Stillwater is absent and rats have invaded the ship
I don’t back the blue until they back us PUBLICLY! SPEAK UP. LET US and tyrants know where you stand.
The “good ones” have disappointed me more so than the bad ones.
If you are good, stand up, speak up and draw a line publicly. And if there are so many good guys, as in the majority that would be easy to do. Imagine 90% good cops speaking up against covid tyranny.
If the good ones really are the majority they have nothing to fear, they can’t fire them all. Act.
Those truckers are risking everything. Brave!
Good cops sitting there and watching your fellow cops act like Hitler’s brown shirts and staying silent is…. being complicit. So, not good at all. I’m not impressed.
I once walked out of a cushy Union job over much less than what we are seeing with cops arresting innocent people. Much much less. The Union attitude was just too thuggish for my taste. The incident was an isolated incident that involved one person. My frustration was the way the Union rep for that specific small group dealt with the situation.
I was told to shut up and let go or… “the last person who turned against another Union member had their car vandalized and their personal info leaked online”
At that moment I realized I didn’t want to be part of that. I did speak up, but nothing happened to the person who was abusing clients. I left the company, and I had no respect for the good ones who stayed silent. The good ones advised me to comply with the Union and move on. Those were the “good ones”.
They sided with me privately but stay silent publicly when it mattered. Everyone knew about it but no one wanted to speak up.
Cowards!
Cops being good privately but staying silent publicly while watching other cops enforcing Tyranny are not good cops. If they won’t speak up when they watch cops arresting innocent mothers with their children, elderly innocent man, when will they speak up?
I don’t see PDs around giving press conference about the abuse of power we are seeing.
Very very few. More like one.
I remember seeing one Sheriff. One saying they will not enforce mask mandates. That’s not the majority.
Without cops to enforce, there’s no tyranny. PERIOD.
How will any mayor do anything if cops refuse to get involved with covid restriction issues?
Sorry mayor, we are busy fighting real crimes. We are not going to enforce mask mandates or any covid relates issues.
A cursory duck search would show you a crap ton of police chiefs and sheriffs who did just that.
You ain’t gonna see it on the mainstream.
I completely agree. That has not been my experience at all and I am black. Yes, there are bad cops – even more so now as most have chosen to side with the tyrants.
While I do not blame all police officers I no longer trust them, or doctors, or hospitals or judges, or teachers, or… They have all proven that they will lie and deceive for the tyrants and they care not for the consequences of their actions
They have all proven to be human…flawed, some more so than others.
I totally agree with making them show their merit and mettle. That should always be true regardless. Just because someone was able to go to medical school, or law school, or whatever, does not make them a good or trustworthy person.
It’s a good point to include doctors, hospitals, judges and teachers. I’d add school boards and community organizations and all unions.
We all laughed that Obama’s experience was community organization, but community organization is what got us to where we are today. The left organized the like-minded, weak willed and wanna-bees into every position of influence in our society. Once they reach critical mass, they are in control of who gets hired, fired and promoted. They help the judges get elected. I suspect the law and medical schools pick and promote the lefties.
The media isn’t full of leftist hacks because they are the only ones going into the profession. It is because they are the ones who get hired and promoted. Others, with different ideals are run out or marginalized.
Unions, trust me.
THE problem.
You’ve come closest to the big point, i.e., those positions of authority (doctors, teachers, policemen etc) are being utilized to act as proxies for the tyrants, their subterfuges, or their anti-constitutional totalitarian impositions on free people.
Hence, it is not that certain professions or occupations are inherently bad or evil, rather, as always, it’s the act itself that is bad or evil.
Leftists have tried to shift this responsibility away from people’s bad acts (for very self-serving reasons!) to place it on such idiotic notions as one’s race, one’s culture, or, sadly, as is now occurring here on this thread, one’s profession.
This rather simplistic thinking is part and parcel of leftist ideology and the quest to outlaw “unacceptable ideas” (per Trudeau’s recent comment), or one’s personal preferences as a free-thinking individual, extending up to and including one’s likes or dislikes in nearly every corner of one’s life such that all autonomy disappears.
In other words, guilt comes not from discrete acts, but rather from some external association. It is, of course, twisted, puerile, self-serving, and ultimately the essence of a sick society.
Surprising that this lesson hasn’t yet been learned!
It is learned through hardship, then lost as the hardship fades, and good times are prevalent.
It’s our time to go through the hard times, and relearn the hard lessons.
This is such a useful and productive discussion!
The fundamental transformation includes cancel culture. They make an example of a few to scare everyone else into submission.
What we see with good people afraid to speak up is the result of that.
No one wants to be thrown to the mob.
Truckers could care less about it, they are risking everything. Many are away from their families and not making any money, in the cold relying on strangers to feed them. They are standing up for freedom for all of us. Those are the good guys.
Cops? Taking away their food and fuel they use to stay warm.
The good cops? Silent and many obeying tyrannical orders to keep their jobs.
Sorry treepers, but that doesn’t impress me one bit.
I know you were replying to Charles, but I’ll just toss this in the blender:
The neighborhood weirdness I referred to in my last post got so bad that I feared for our safety, sold our home at a loss, and moved about 20 miles further from my job. Right before I made that call, I did exactly what you suggested. I marched righteously into the police chief’s office and had that one-on-one meeting. I didn’t even get platitudes and bland assurances. I got “that’s just how it is, now please leave.”
Okay, and what size place is this? Where was this? I don’t pretend there isn’t corruption and malfeasance in places all over the country. H*ll right now, not far from me, there is a town getting ready to elect a new mayor because the last one got arrested for a domestic while on the campaign trail for a higher office.
Growing up in my home town, it was well known that the mayor’s son was a drug dealer, and he would get tipped off before “raids”. It’s not still like that, because the people changed it.
The point is, there are roughly 3-4 million cops, in a nation of 330 million. There are bad ones, most are good ones. They are insignificant in the grand scheme. If they all banded together, there still aren’t enough of them to do a lot comparatively speaking.
That said, I certainly want the decent ones working with me if the time comes. They have training and knowledge that civilians just don’t have. Same for any and all decent ex and current military. Never know when someone who knows how to drive a tank will come in handy.
Northwest suburb of Chicago, about 35,000 population, subdivision of good quality starter homes. I’m not trying to tar all police with the same brush, but what happened….happened.
I still remember vividly that when all our stuff was already in moving boxes, a teen girl we’d never met knocked on our door and asked for a ride home because she was terrified to cross the public park across from our house.
The Cook County/Chicago fiasco? Seriously? I’m not even FROM Illinois and I know that place is more f*cked up than not and has been for YEARS. Cops and politicians on the take. Yeah, there isn’t going to be any decent cops there. They’ll never stay if the even make it on the force.
As sad as that is for you, I’m telling you, that’s not the way it is in small town America. Are there SOME small towns with despots, yeah sure, but mostly not. Mostly the folks who are policing, also live in the area, go to the Friday night football games, their kids play baseball, basketball, football and soccer with everyone else’s kids. A crap ton of them go to church on Sunday with some of the ones they arrested Friday night.
It’s nice you for that you live in Mayberry USA. I have a friend that is a Chicago police officer. I do not make the mistake of thinking that has any bearing on his police actions. The best advice you will ever get is “never talk to the police”.
Gee you’ll have to point me to the prequel of the show that showed where the people, tired of the sheriff before Andy not doing his job, got together and cleared out all the council people, and mayor, who kept reappointing the guy, so they could get a guy like Andy in there. I guess I must have missed that one?
Seriously. My town had plenty of issues. The people got tired of it and fixed it.
The greater Chicago area is a very big place. I understand your response, but the problems in the described community were not a product of the Chicago way….which I’m also very familiar with.
Frankly, the problem was that the local cops wanted to be an average suburban police force. When real problems took root in part of the community, they chose “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” and keep handing out speeding tickets…..and to hell with the affected residents.
It wasn’t until years later and targeted gerrymanders that we saw the writing on the wall for the rest of the suburbs. We got out about a year ago, and we’re indescribably happy to live in the South.
Oh, I beg to differ. The ‘burbs often end up getting the “rejects”, who police just they way they were taught.
I’m glad you got out. Hopefully you are in a small town. Yeah, it gets boring, but, it’s easier to know your neighbors and know who you can rely on.
Most aren’t good. Good people don’t support the abuse of citizens including children. Just following orders is not a legitimate argument for enforcing mask or vaxx mandates or allowing antifa to burn buildings down, etc.
Do a cursory duck search. Even in the big, bad, blue states, there’s a crap ton of cops not doing that.
Lived in the same neighborhood as several cops, 2 County sheriffs and 1 homicide detective. Add to the mix doctors and nurses. All in their 1st lower middle class houses, married with young children.
Backyard barbecues and a few drinks and a few stories would flow.
What these men and women had to endure, see and save, from an evil drugged up culture left them and the rest of us hearing the stories, with a chilling numbness..
How human beings could inflict such pain and torture on the innocents. Cops, nurses and doctors are faced with the results almost every shift.
After a few years they become hardened to everything, but then another crime happens ,worse than the last.
We also had nurses and psychologists in this neighborhood. They too live in an almost ptsd cloud.
Can you imagine going into a war zone to work everyday?
Their mind never shuts down, and they are always on alert. Hard to relax during off hours. Hard to pack those cases away in your mind.
That was 40 years ago.
They didn’t have targets painted on their backs, had the support of the lower middle class neighborhoods they lived in and the mayor, etc; supported them.
And yes, they condemned the bad cops. So before you attempt to paint all cops with a spray painter, maybe try a 1″ brush.
Nice to sit on the sidelines and complain about cops.
Stop being a critic and become a player.
I place the blame on the education system and media for the past 50 years. I gave up teaching 2 years before I even finished paying off my student loans. I refused to teach my subject, (music) and run my classroom the way a bunch of Board members, ( who couldn’t identify Beethoven from Bach), insisted I do.
I went into management and electronics.
Cops, teachers, nurses, doctors have had the same progressive education that we are now finally trying to save today’s children from. How some escaped the indoctrination is a wonder. Great parenting I guess.
I just know, the professionals in my neighborhood were devoted to the people they saved and treated everyday.
And, I respect and pray for all of those who have chosen a selfless, sometimes thankless profession. These professionals in my neighborhood did not service the “affluent” neighborhoods…their precincts and hospitals were on the “South side of town”. And two were County sheriffs.
Sometimes, respect begets respect. There are still a lot of good ones out there trying their darndest to change the putrid system. It sure isn’t easy.
It’s going to be a fight like we can’t imagine. There are those that don’t understand yet, that this is also a spiritual fight, along with the cultural.
Cops, nurses, paramedics, and ER docs still share a weird affinity. They see the absolute worse of things. Could you imagine going from a little 8 year old run down on her bicycle because of an idiot tear ass*ng through a neighborhood, then NOT losing your sh*t on the next idiot you catch doing 20+ mph over in the neighborhood? Or the next drunk driver that ends up in your ER after you just stitched up a 2 year old from a t-bone with a drunk in the other car?
Sharing this rather long substack article by Charles Eisenstein which reminded me of a Bible phrase that has been a true guidepost through a lot of things in my life ‘harden not your hearts as in the provocation” and find this article has some very pertinent points to remember as we all work to figure out our way through this tangled mess of world-wide totalitarianism vs individual rights –
that if we can work to not become hardened into one side or the other of things we might just be an instrument of peace and resolution.
I have had good experiences with law enforcement and very disappointing, surprising ones, as well, doesn’t make me hate law enforcement at all, but the lessons remind me to be very careful about what one says to law enforcement, simply because law enforcement are the frontline to how this is going to go – we either remind them they are us or they get lost in the red-tape dictates promising safe haven of bureaucracy. We have a chance to be leaders in how this resolves.
https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/a-temple-of-this-earth
this sounds exactly the same to me as when Hannity says that 99% of the FBI are good people.
IMO its not about good or bad per se – but the structure that enables it. this former republic has spent decades pawning off all the hard stuff to government, and this is the consequence. I’ve no doubt that not all of them are sociopathic and out looking for evil to get into. But human nature is surprisingly simple to predict, especially in a group setting. Things are justified very quickly and easily.
you get more of what you reward.
I imagine the rate of police that are there for the power trip or other bad reasons is higher than 1%. Most of those are going to be young kids, or bullies, that either grow up, or get weeded out quickly. Will they go on to a larger department just looking for warm bodies? Yeah, maybe.
Then you must live in one of those places that reward the crap behavior. I can’t compare where I am with say, L.A. or N.Y. I live in small town America. One of the places that bluntly, we wouldn’t much notice if the police stopped policing, because we’d just handle it and make sure the bodies were never found.
Maybe defunding the police may not be terrible after all.
And you’ll be one of the first ones all “shocked pikachu face” when they do it, and the shite REALLY hits the fan.
All who wish to defund the police should look to NYC, Chicago, San Fran and LA
Oh, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. Small town America will be okay through it, but big and medium cities are going to go through a purge like you’ve never imagined. These people don’t have a clue what they are asking for, or what the ramifications are going to be.
What, are you nuts?!
You don’t need police when you can just put a hippy on your speed dial.
I have a brother that was a cop in East Los Angles. When he was fresh out of the academy they sent him to work in the county jail for a few years before he was allowed to work on the streets. This is where he learned to be an azzhole and to see everyone through the worst lens. This indoctrination became well ingrained into him and he became a different man.
Studies show that brain scans between convicts, and new jailers are vastly different.
After just two months, the brains scans are nearly identical.
Two months.
Curious, got a link for that study?
Have we just gone onto looney land? Who are these people? Looks like a massive Troll attack to me. How to respond? Ignore or engage?
Make up your own mind. Rix Six and zephyrbreeze have been here for years, though, so I’d not go ballistic on “OMG! TROLL! ROLLCON! INVADER!”
🤣
I know zephyr, Rix Six?
I’ve been here for almost 10 years and the first I ever saw “Leenie61” was only months ago? You might be a former lurker or just here on days when I am out of town working and can’t get an internet signal.
“Rix Six” has been here a long time … who can forget that fishy looking creature that’s their icon!
And this result is because they were always the “same” to begin with!
I attended a class at Florida International University where the instructor was a Police Recruiter/Interviewer. He told us that the police tests are DESIGNED to find the “Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD)” (AKA Sociopath) personality and THAT is who they HIRE for the Police Department.
He explained the reasoning was that only those who have APD can deal effectively with the criminals (sociopaths) they must deal with for their job!
Talk about eye opening!!!
You should probably go get a copy of a police test and see what a load of crap that is.
I defended the Florida SOCE (State Officer Certification Examination) for years. It is a load of crap. Sorry.
One of the most recognized and accepted test right now is out of a firm based in Chicago. You should see it. You could be in 6th grade and pass this thing. Maybe even 4th.
Correction officers are exposed to the worst of the worse every day, it takes a toll on one’s faith in humanity.
We all have a case of that don’t we? Humanity taking a toll on ones faith. 🤷♀️
You should really work a few months at a county detention center.
Yeah, Feral! 🤣
At your average county jail, pretty much anywhere in this country, there is going to be people inside the walls for everything from unpaid tickets/fines to multiple murder and awaiting trial, and everything you can think of in between.
If you worked in the LA County Jail you’d have changed to. It’s a cesspool with Black and Hispanic gangs!
There have been studies showing that cops most identify with criminals and don’t identify with law-abiding citizens.
This sounds like a lot of fact free biased opinion to me. Confirmed by the last sentence.
Yup
Nonsense! Pure crap and not true at all. Most of the police come from the lower middle class themselves and live in the same neighborhoods. As time went on we all advanced to the middle class including the police. They are us!
Yup
I’ve always said; under no circumstances do you ever invite the “government” into your home. To me that includes the police. The only time we ever did was after a break in while we were on vacation and that was for the police report for insurance. Luckily we found our items in pawn shops.
“Police: the department of government concerned primarily with maintenance of public order, safety, and health and enforcement of laws and possessing executive, judicial, and legislative powers”.
“Sheriff: the law-enforcement officer of a county or other civil subdivision of a state.
(formerly) an important civil officer in an English shire”.
The bottom line “Police” work for the swamp rats as enforcers of their illegal edicts, especially in the large blue hives (cities). I’ve known many cops and for the most good guys taking care of their families. However when you get to the Chief of Police most are statist.
The Sheriff has to stand for election and is much more responsive to what is good for their communities.
I do NOT hate police. They are necessary. I simply don’t trust them.
I am now in the 90%+ percentile in income. I have always been respectful and deferential to police. Their attitude towards me and mine has been dramatically different as my address has changed.
To those who can walk into the police chief and complain, I have lived in small towns as well. I guarantee the people living in that crappy trailer park on the outskirts of town do not get the same response when they ask to see the chief.
Then they have a crap town, crap chief, crap mayor, and crap city council. I have seen exactly that. Your rundown trailer park renters, talking to the chief, filing and complaint, and it being seen to.
NAILED IT. Plus all their behavior got exponentially worse because “covid”.
In my lily white, NY suburban community, it is not uncommon to be threatened with arrest for not wearing a face diaper in certain locations including school district buildings.
At the last school board meeting there were 2 armed deputies at the door who demanded that we put on a muzzle mask before we could enter the room.
There were no exceptions, no exemptions. They didn’t care that what they were doing was illegal. Either put on the mask or you will get arrested if you try to go in without one.
Anyone who thinks the Demo-Commies are going to give up this much power is crazy.
Can confirm, but speaking from the other side. Having moved back to my hometown, my treatment from LEOs still rides on my now-gone family’s good name and social status, while it is so very plain how the other side is treated, if one listens and pays attention.
One would be shocked how our local judge – with whom we grew up and was in Dad’s Sunday School class – treated L’il Bro in court. How I wish it had not been so.
Due to financial necessity, my family lived in low-income (ghetto) housing when I was a teen. My mother tried to get the management company, and then the police, to enforce the laws.
The police assisted the management company in dragging us through the dirt and through court and WE ended up homeless and losing everything.
I had a thumb drive in my hand with evidence of a physical assault on my mother. The police took it from me under threat of arrest.
I learned as a kid not to ever trust the cops…
Wow, you need to get out more. (Or maybe move.)
Troll give-away: “I find this true in every town of every size.”
You’ve lived “in every town of every size.” ?
..And you’ve been in every economic demographic and can speak from experience as to those differences?
…and 42 people up-voted this?
TROLL!!!!!!!
Break time Leenie. When you notice that your future comments are no longer posting right away, remember this comment. You’re now regretfully being “moderated”.
Sorry, ad rem. May I respectfully ask why all of my posts are now being moderated?
I post comments about posts that don’t make sense to me. I ask the people who post to elaborate or site their sources. Relaying anecdotal stories can be powerful…but most people in the treehouse , while sympathetic to those personal testimonies, do not base they’re opinions on anecdotal stories.
I’m flying off my branch for a while.
All the best, Leenie
Because you keep attacking people…calling them “trolls”. Most of these people have been here before, and they don’t deserve to be labeled simply for stating an opinion.
I’ve read all the responses and this thread has probably run its course.
Just wanted to say that CountryClub above referred to the real issue: lack of accountability.
When we talk about the teachers, who’s fired if Johnny still can’t read?
Judges? Sovereign immunity anyone? Does she pay a price when she helps a criminal illegal alien down the back stairs and he goes back out and kills again?
I think what we know now is that all positions should have accountability. The 17th Amendment meant we no longer can get rid of a lying treasonous traitorous corrupt Senator – but that’s not the way our Founding Fathers designed it.
All the way back to the Old Testament we’re told that men’s hearts incline toward evil. Every effort to compile more power centrally – and use it – affirms the truth of this statement.
Even those who claim they want to defund the police don’t want to defund them for themselves:
https://nypost.com/2020/11/11/portland-politician-pushing-to-defund-police-called-911-over-lyft-ride/
I grew up in a small city with at the time a very low crime rate.
Your experience is similar to mine.
What you could expect from the police very much depended on who you were, not what you were doing.
It was well known at that time, that the ones who got in trouble in high school were likely to become police.
It may have changed somewhat, with the college requirement for police. I don’t know.
In my experience opinions like this come from the mouths of criminals whose disdain for the Police is directly proportional to how many times their nefarious plans have been thwarted.
Get some help
Just like members of Congress were exempt from obamacare! Same could be said of masking! The elites don’t wear masks but rail against the proletariats to wear them! Hypocrisy is the universal trade of politicians and the wealthy!
Heard this was fake twatt… but who knows.
Probably fake… can’t even spell correctly
Says it all. Never trust a cop.
🤣
Affirmative Action at work and exactly why it doesn’t work!
Marxist SA has a similar Marxist law called BEE. Black Economic Empowerment. Where the unqualified get jobs to destroy infrastructure. SA has rolling blackouts now. Many of the rail lines no longer work because they steal the rail lines and steal the copper from the electrical lines
Went from a first world to a third world in a very short time, soon to be fourth world. Many Democrat/marxist run into the ground cities look similar.
And non-police officers don’t have the same “basic rights as Canadians” police officers do? That’s infuriating!!!!! 😡
Senate Republicans rips RNC for Jan. 6 censure for Cheney, Kinzinger

Lindsey Graham – South Carolina
Mitt Romney – Utah
Rick Scott – Florida
CANCEL their JOBS
🤣. Really great idea!!!!!
Clueless idiots. They don’t want the majority…….if we get it for them.
Not clueless. They are RINO’s. I’m surprised Portman from Ohio isn’t on the list.
I ask you….are there any surprises on that list?
there are a few additional surprises NOT on that list. but they were probably at a cocktail party when the poll was taken.
Reading these names disgusts me. I think about all the talk about the red wave. What good is a red wave when you have these motherf’ers in charge?
If a red wave replaces 51% of the elected Republicans, those RINOs won’t be the ones in charge. Underscores the importance of getting good MAGA people to primary them.
its not. but i can think of a different red wave that might help.
Scott got this from me just now:
I am writing to briefly express my outrage that you would disagree with the RNC’s decision to censure the two Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) who are sitting on Nancy Pelosi’s political theater witch hunt J6 Committee, which, as you know, is not even a properly constituted committee per House rule. Cheney and Kinzinger are masquerading as Republicans while they stab the Republican base in the back. They are supporting the Speaker’s drive to destroy all opposition to the Democrat overlord organization, the WEF’s, Great Reset where the 1% (that’s you) will own everything and the rest of us plebs will “own nothing and be happy” per Herr Schwab, the WEF mastermind. Yes, we all know about Klaus Schwab and his WEF and how he has trained “young leadership” in many countries, including France, the UK, and Canada, to drive the sovereign nations to bankruptcy and their people into chipped, tracked, and traced consumer/cattle to be exploited for maximum profits and to be controlled by a global China-style “social credit score.”
Because you have ridden to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger’s rescue, it makes you part and parcel with the Globalist plot against which everyday Americans demonstrated on J6 and against which everyday Canadians are demonstrating as I write. The J6 freedom fighters are POLITICAL PRISONERS no less than Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, or any Soviet-era dissident. They dared speak truth to power. It is a black stain on the honor of this nation that it holds people with whom the government does not agree incommunicado in filthy prisons as it tortures them for over a year without charges simply to break them and to force them to parrot statist lies for freedom. We now have an American Lubyanka on the Potomac. Who would ever have thought.
Your time would be better spent on opposing Biden’s destructive Globalist policies which are ripping this country apart. In your famous words from your first term as Florida’s Governor: “Get back to work!” Only this time, get back to work for We the PEOPLE.
nice one. i was cringing for the expected YEAH BUT around j6 but you did not apologize for it at all.
Its time we stop being embarrassed of it and promise far more, larger, and angrier.
Our government is the enemy.
Never forget this people. Next round to primary them. They have enrich an damage this country for so long.

It’s like a veritable tsunami of heavy handed enforcement. lol
They beclown themselves with every next move.
Wonk wonk wonk, and honk honk honk…
If the trucks don’t move
everything stops
do you think summonses and arrests were not anticipated?
Maybe, just maybe, Canada will save the world in our generation, thanks to the Freedom Truckers…
I wonder what would happen if they called for a 60 -90 day nationwide strike?
And if so, What % of the 250,000 Canadian truckers would honor this if called?
i truly believe that one well-recognized leader could do so in a heartbeat.
Imagine Trump having the cajones to do so in the former republic of the USA
Wouldn’t be the furst time truck drivers saved the world.
Big Trouble in Little Canada.
“All I want is my truck back!” 🙂
What the powers that be in Canada seem to not understand that the Truckers finally came to engage in a protest because they were desperate. It’s a matter of life and death for them . There is no fall back position. The powers that be are so used to merely hinting their displeasure and being obeyed that they are at a loss when confronting this mind set. Their vanguard, the police, are there for their pensions. The Truckers are there for their lives.
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”.
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. . . .
Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone”, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy . . . . but it will fall upon deaf ears.”

This threat assessment is all about Domestic Terrorism of people that are sowing discontent, misinformation, and misleading narratives regarding government institutions. This is the single most shocking thing I’ve ever seen in regards to an authoritarian state and we’re not going to stand for it.

And, here is the DHS bulletin Bannon is talking about…
Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland
https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-february-07-2022
We are all terrorist s now?
I hope I have been a terrorist since I voted for Trump the first time right?
The traitor/felon Hillary let the cat out of the bag so to speak when she called Heritage Americans “deplorables” and the rural areas where you know those deplorables grow the food and produce the products people use “Flyover” country. I am so happy to be a resident of Flyover country and a deplorable. Proud Deplorable and proud Heritage American. My family shed much blood,sweat, and tears serving this country.
I will do as much as I can to preserve our country. ABOO!
(The cry of ‘Aboo’ (variously rendered as abú, abo, uboo, ubu, etc) is the most common exclamation found among the Irish clans. It derives from the old Irish buaidh, meaning ‘victory’, and its use can still be found in the modern Gaelic valediction beir bua, meaning ‘grab victory’).
Bàs no Beatha! “Death or Life!”
Just wondering…do terrorists pay taxes?
Likely only if you are not on the list of oppressed groups according to current critical theory.
Oh, they want everyone to pay their taxes, even looters.
Usually they get free weapons, training by the CIA. In many cases Saudi Arabia pays their wages
Keep an eye on this event and linkage to the threat issued by Trudeau, last night, vs Donors to the Freedom Convoy.
Be assured, the Canadian Government has filed via every related agreement to the US Government for support.
My growing concern is that the US Government now feels the examples they are trying to set via the 1/6 House Commission and Imprisonment of 1/6 Protestors is not having the desired effect.
If you are a donor to the Freedom Convoys, stay alert.
Absolutely. I discussed this with my family last night. Prove wrongdoing. They confiscated fuel and food from people in sub-zero weather. What HUMANITARIAN would not donate? Period. End of.
I want to stand out, maybe I should donate multiple times to get their attention.
I refuse to be part of the world they have planned for us. I will not comply much less be neutral. I want to be on the enemies list asap.
To be honest, they read our posts here and know who we are. We are already on the enemies list. Might as well embrace it.
It appears that believing in the Constitution now makes one a domestic “terrorist”! Who knew? Meanwhile the illegal aliens walking into the country by the millions aren’t a foreign threat? Up is down, down it up, good is evil, evil is good is the current state of play in this country! God help us! Hosanna! – posted by a domestic terrorist!
Must be too late for me then.
Not only do I believe in the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence, I also believed in the enlistment Oath I swore years ago within the sight of God to uphold and defend the same and that had no expiration date.
Thank you for your service! I never had to take that oath you took but as a young boy I did pledge allegiance to the flag and to the Republic every morning at school growing up! That pledge has always stuck with me and will never expire!
Nor mine.
I never surrendered my saber. Didn’t turn it into no ploughshare, neither.

FDA Duplicity on Covid-19 Vaccines
“Perhaps the most important long-term fallout of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic has been the exposure of the venality and politicization within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as other federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Nothing personifies this corruption more than the FDA’s absurdly close ties to the pharmaceutical companies. Thus, their refusal to recognize proven inexpensive therapeutics and their unorthodox approach in licensing certain Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 — vaccines that are not offered for sale in the United States.
What was the FDA’s and the pharmaceutical companies’ endgame in this process?”
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/02/fda_duplicity_on_covid19_vaccines.html
I had read that article earlier.
It is well worth the time to read it in my opinion.
1) File Lawsuits
2) Use Discovery
3) Gain Communications
4) Simultaneously – use Malone’s 17,000 honest doctors & scientists to answer question what if anything are the spike proteins doing in the body?
5) Then Expose All Findings to the World

In the 1960’s there was a “Soft war” against White republican businesses & neighborhoods in some cities to destroy them and turn them minority-majority and Democrat.

Former Clinton Aide Pleads Guilty to Taking Classified Docs (from the National Archives)
“Sandy Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in federal court. Berger, who served as President Clinton’s national security adviser, is acknowledging that it wasn’t an honest mistake and that he intentionally took and destroyed copies of classified documents from the National Archives (search) and cut them up with scissors.”
https://www.foxnews.com/story/former-clinton-aide-pleads-guilty-to-taking-classified-docs
What was Sandy Berger stealing from the public record? The treasonous criminal Clinton Administration’s colloboration with Usama Bin-Laden & his muslim terrorist network in Bosnia & Kosovo? Or was it their vast & long list of Treasons & high crimes & misdemeanors in regards to stealing and sending China nuclear/military/manufacturing technologies?
Geee … and Hillary was caught with printed classified FBI files in her baggage when the Clintons were exiting the White House and the Bush II people complained of missing hard drives from GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS, when they were moving into the White House … cue an entire herd of curious cats.
There is so much OLD news of missing archival materials from the Clinton era that entire dedicated department of DoJ would be needed to address it… on top of Travelgate, Hillary’s miracle cattle deal, Hillary’s files from her attempt to lead installation of Universal healthcare….
If this isn’t a reason for execution, what is?
Agreed friend but it should include most of the Criminal Clinton Administration & CCP allied Democrat Campaign Finance Committees. Newt Gingrich/Bob Dole/Trent Lott & Co let the Democrats skate away from the largest treason in US history which besides the illegal money transfers from China to the Democrats & tech transfers which jeopardized our national security and destroyed our economic prosperity also included theft of the primaries and elections in 96. Loads of that Chinese cash was used to purchase media against Buchanan/Perot/ Dole
spreading conspiracy theories online.
The wokeratti failed at branding Joe Rogan with the “dis-information” label. That lie was not having any effect. So they go back to the tried and true kill shot the “n” word. The left has no respect for nor do they care about black people. Black people are tools for their demonic agenda. They want to destroy western civilization because they are abject failures. They contribute NOTHING to society. So they must destroy it.
They believe black people are stupid so whenever they need to enact their agenda they rile up black people about “racism” and its off to the races. Now granted they do have a lot of blacks who fall for the nonsense but way too many blacks are no longer fooled by the faux outrage of the left. Case in point, I just saw a Jessie Watters man on the street about masks and mandates. The one person who was right and on point and who saw the nonsense for what it is was… the black guy…
The Biggest MAGA guy at my workplace, who is also my friend, is a Black man who understands the communist/globalists/elites are using Black people. We trade Info every day and he gives me perspectives on things from the Black community side. If you watch “Trump Card” (free on Roku) D’Souza interviews black people who realize that PDJT actually delivered on his promises to the Black community where the Democrats only mouth platitudes but never do anything. Part of that because the Democrat/marxist/globalists run on a racial hate agitation platform and if they ever solved those problems, they will lose their platform.
So thus the Democrat never solve anything, just loot, sell us out, and stir hatred & division.
In my opinion, it’s the Black Guys in America who are the most awake to the foolishness. God bless them.
I am still amazed at the usage of the word “Black” to describe Africans? The Left, who is over the top in nit picking the tiniest little nuanced word meaning, is just happy as can be with using “Black” and “White” to describe Caucasians and Africans.
Why? Because nothing can be more opposite than “Black and White”. The Left WANTS division. Why aren’t we using “Yellow”, despite it’s past history of being used this way, to describe Asians? “Redskins” is racist, but even that was tolerated until only weeks ago.
But “Whites” and “Blacks” is still favored by the elite Left. Go figure?

Horowitz: The country the COVID cultists don’t want to discuss
It’s the dirty “I” word that shall not be named. And by that, I don’t mean ivermectin, but Israel.
During the lockdowns, the COVID cultists ignored the existence of Sweden as the ultimate control group on the greatest experiment on human civilization of all time. Now they don’t want to acknowledge the existence of Israel as the ultimate study group on the greatest experiment on the human body of all time.
Last September, Philip Dormitzer, the chief scientific officer at Pfizer, described Israel as “a sort of laboratory” to “see the effect” of his company’s vaccines. This was because, as he put it, Israel “immunized a very high proportion of the population very early — so it’s been a way that we can almost look ahead: What we see happening in Israel happens again in the US a couple months later.”

“It would seem that Canada is – along with Australia, Italy, Austria and France – one of the nations most infiltrated by the globalists.

Abbott in trouble. Abbott is a proven RINO. His actions defines him. His words are betrayed by them. West may be a RINO. All RINOs lie so you never can tell.
When dealing with RINOs, you do the opposite of the old saying. Better the devil you don’t know over the one you do. Unless of course there is a proven conservative available. All proven RINOs deserve no support. No matter what.
If you really are serious about “purging them”, the general election may be the only way to do that given the corrupt, rigged GOP primary system.
https://iotwreport.com/texas-runoff-likely-as-col-allen-west-soars-past-incumbent-greg-abbott/
New polling data from Paradigm Partners LLC shows support for Lt. Col. Allen West trending upwards of 40%.
Abbott polled at 73% last summer prior to West’s entry to the race, but dropped to 34.18% in the latest poll. In order to avoid a run-off election against West, Abbott needs to get 51% of the Republican vote. If current polling data holds up, a runoff is all but guaranteed. The likely run-off election will take place on May 24.
Doubtful…so support for Allen West “trending upwards of 40%”…does this mean that his low polling has increased 40% or he is at 40%?
I’ll take the former.
The ‘upwards of’ means slightly more than 40%.
West is a grifter. He was my Congressional Rep here in Palm Beach County and then mysteriously disappeared then popped up in Texas!
The texas scorecard has done a good job of interviewing the candidates and keeping me in the loop of what is going on around me.

I’ve seen claims that West’s candidacy forced Abbott more to the right.
Since most of what Abbott did about Biden’s border disaster, COVID, calling several special legislative sessions to deal with that (and other issues), and piloting an anti-abortion law into being, all happened before West became a candidate. I’m not at all buying that argument.
Abbot used to be a Texas Supreme Court Justice, and, was Texas Attorney General. That makes him important in the Texas GOP. You can count that as RINO or valuable Texas government experience, depending on how you score his actions.
Given Abbott’s efforts against Biden’s traitorous COVID and border actions, and noting that state governors lack unlimited powers, Abbott deserves credit for doing much more than almost all of the other 34 (or so) Republican governors.
West had one term as a Florida US Congressman (2010-2012). The Texas Republican Party (which seems infested with RINOish apparatchiks) brought him in to be the Texas Republican Party Chair. He has little experience of Texas or Texas Government. He has to depend on Texas Establishment Republicans to win.
Abbott now has enough personal clout in Texas to not depend on RINO support, especially when they are trying to dump him for West.
That said, I’d be happy to vote for West against Senator John Cornyn, or, US Congressman McCaul, a true RINO. But, not for Governor against Abbott.
In early 2020, Fauci, Birx, Redfield, Collins and Pence, leaders of the White House Virus Task Force required the president and the country to adopt a needless and, eventually, disastrous strategy called “Flatten the Curve.”
That’s the conclusion of a Johns Hopkins study completed a few weeks ago. That study examined the relationship between 2020 covid deaths and the effects of the nationwide restrictions imposed by the 2020 policy called “Flatten the Curve.”
The study found that:
1) the restrictions imposed in 2020 to “Flatten the Curve” did not effect covid deaths, and , therefore, were not required.
2) the restrictions imposed in 2020 to “Flatten the Curve” needlessly ruined the US economy and ruined lives.
From the study:
“While this.. [study] …concludes that [the restrictions imposed to”Flatten the Curve”]… to have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, … policies to…[ “Flatten the Curve”]… are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
The word “lockdown” used in the study carries an identical meaning as the term “Flatten the Curve.”
https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf
To clear up any misunderstanding about what specific restrictions within the policy to “Flatten the Curve” the study identified to be both unnecessary and, ultimately, catastrophic to life in the US, they include:
wearing masks
social distancing
closing schools, businesses,churches
shelter in place
lock-downs of cities, states or areas
and, in general any attempt to alter citizen behavior.
Secondly, there is an innaccurate public view that the end game behind “Flattening the Curve” was to manage hospital patient load. That, like so many things the Virus Task Force said, is not the case.
The end game of the policy to “Flatten the Curve” was to reduce covid deaths. Reducing hospital patient load was, simply, an intermediate step thought to be necessary to achieve the ultimate goal, to lower covid deaths.
Thirdly, it’s helpful to keep in mind that in the year in which “Flattening the Curve” was imposed , 2020, there was no vaccine to treat what was believed to be a deadly new or “novel” virus. Under this kind of “novel” threat, the conventional wisdom among virologists dictated that, to prevent deaths, it is necessary to employ what virologists call “Non Pharmaceutical Interventions” or NPIs. NPI is virology speak which encompasses the list of restrictions mentioned above, wearing masks, social distancing , closing schools, etc.
I mention all this to stress how essential, indeed, critical, the word “novel” becomes when it is associated to a virus. A “novel” virus” in Fauci’s world means a pandemic is forthcoming. IOW, if the word “novel” is not attached to a virus, then that viurus cannot cause a pandemic.
For those of you who have listened to DR. David Martin, you will recall he makes the point repeatedly that virus patents from years ago prove that SARSCOV2 is not a “novel” virus. And he’s right.
Well, if SARSCOV2 is not a “novell” virus and virologists claim that only a “novel” virus can cause a pandemic, then are we today, in fact, in a pandemic? And, if the answer is no, then why did the Virus Task Force initiate the policy to”Flatten the Curve” for pandemic which does not exist?

Imagine if a Republican president left 9000k Americans behind.
She may be something of a nut, but this woman sincerely cared about the work she was doing with the UN. It’s too bad the UN is corrupt and incompetent.

I keep worrying about what is going on with the plans – with the help of the PRC – to build a tunnel for a quick commute from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland –
(Tallinn is only about 250 miles away from Saint Petersburg – it was called Leningrad when Putin was born there in 1952)
Peter Vesterbecka has been promoting this tunnel –
(his company created an app, Angry Birds – a leaky app, from which the NSA scooped up lots of data from the users who jumped into it)
as the Nord Stream is possibly a renewed topic of discussion . . . does anyone know how that tunnel will work out if it is in the path of the Nord Stream?
Remembering the famous statement – promise – assurance – “we will not seek hegemony” –
that meant, as I understand it, “don’t worry, we won’t try to gain control over our neighbors, we won’t be a bully”
but just look at what they are doing in the South China Sea –
they freak out if anyone raises any issues about that – and their attempts to claim the Spratly, Paracel and other islands – and their creation of artificial islands –
meanwhile, they are expanding their “neighborhood” through the “Belt and Road Initiative” with projects such as this Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel, which is way out of their neck of the woods.
They are perpetually retaliating in any way possible if any nation recognizes Taiwan
They are way up north of Canada, exploring the Arctic routes . . .
They went over to the Galapagos Islands and raided the waters there for fish, just marched in there with their fishing vessels on a rampage of a sovereign nation’s resources.
Going back to the “Finest” (Finland-Estonia) Bay Area being touted by Peter Vesterbecka – so I have been wondering for some months now how Putin is going to deal with Xi, making incursions into his neighborhood – and purportedly they are becoming palsy-walsy –
I do believe that Xi has been following the Hitler Playbook –
and so are leaders of nations that are compromised in some way, by the PRC, just as Hitler had Quisling of Norway?
When will the world wake up and smell the coffee?
Why does Trudeau act like he is more frightened of something else rather than his failure in the stewardship of Canada, the freedom of Canadian citizens and their well-being? The nation’s resources and sovereignty – why on earth would he invite the PLA to conduct military exercises on Canadian soil?
Was that in preparation for the Ladakh operation in the Galwan Valley when India managed to repel PLA troops from their border?
Back to Putin and Xi – I think Putin is a savvy student of history and won’t let Xi do to Russia what Hitler did when he went back on an agreement with Stalin. I pray so!
Note: If you care to look at Peter Vesterbecka’s Tweets, you will note he also touts the “New World Order”.
FJB has neatly maneuvered Putin into Xi’s pocket.
Sounds like Estonia killed it.

FTA: “Aab said he would put his support behind another tunnel project backed by both the Estonian and Finnish public authorities. He said: “Creating a cross-border connection is only possible through a joint project between the two countries and the common will of both countries.”
The Estonian government first expressed doubts about Vesterbacka’s plan last August, when Taavi Aas, the economics minister, said in an interview: “We need a clear understanding of where the money is coming from and in what amount. Where are the guarantees that it will be completed? The developer hasn’t been able to say how it estimated the volume of people that will be traveling.”
Oh, that’s an easy one.

As much as the end of restrctions in many countries is to be celebrated, let’s not be fooled by any of it.
The failure of the Covid measures was part of the plan. The WHO is using it to push member states to sign a new agreement for global pandemic preparedness which will basically hand over the power to the WHO in any medical and climate emergency.
The new treaty which expands the 2005 treaty, if adopted by member states means that the WHO’s constitution (as per Article 9) will take precedence over each country’s constitution during natural disasters or pandemics. In other words, the WHO will be dictating not just recommending.
This is just another step towards their One World Government aka New World Order.
Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger, who has worked for the WHO for 20 years, warns that every country should send a public letter of protest to the WHO, saying it is unacceptable that the signature of the Minister of Health in any country, should decide the fate of millions of people without a referendum.
Dr. Stuckelberger shared the information that so far only the Russians have sent such a letter of objection.
If you are a member of the Assembly or know of anyone who is a member please prompt them to send such letter on behalf of we the people.

Well since both of those statements are absolutely true, they are criminalizing wrongthink, i.e., anything that contradicts the narrative of the all powerful State.
LOL. Well, it won’t be the first time that a totalitarian dictatorship jailed those who were brave enough to shout the truth.
40% of the people wouldn’t see a problem……that’s the problem.
Psychological warfare against children. And the masks will cause health problems later on
the problem is those nasty kids need thicker muzzles. they’re breathing germs all over their dear leaders.
Hey Governor where’s your mask? You’re in New York read the room!
That does not look like the gov of N.Y.
There’s a Dean Koonz novel where the hero saves children who have been kidnapped for ritual Satanic sacrifice by powerful people, including politicians. Each participant gets to slaughter one child.
This picture looks eerily like something taken the day before, with the sacrifices at the front.
Liberal MP Joël Lightbound calls for COVID mandates to be reexamined (archive.is)
what does calling them after the fact do?
Lets them know you are paying attention. I would request a meeting with the representative and a discussion on their justification for the vote. Also I would suggest you pay close attention to their machinations and continue to communicate clearly, courtesy and with well though out questions.

When the left starts lifting mask mandates right before the midterms, YOU KNOW IT WAS ALL BULLSHITO!!!
Someone should tell this guy that GOFUNDME will probably seize his money because he is border patrol…..
Interesting observation of the effects of “defund the police”.
Low trust communities now see no justice unless they do it themselves. Vendettas are the only way to exact punishment. There is also less fear of consequence. If criminals can get away with murder, then anyone can.
https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2022/02/a-failed-city-and-its-failed-residents.html
… packing culture and a drive to retaliate, rather than turn to law enforcement, has driven homicides in the nation’s capital. Those elements have become more prevalent since trust in law enforcement deteriorated after the defund the police movement took hold following George Floyd’s killing.
“One of the hardest things to deal with in the streets is when somebody kill anybody you love, McMichael, 52, told Fox News. “At that point right there … the gun is in your hand.”
vigilantism is inevitable in a nation that has abdicated its most basic responsibility to its own citizenry.
Hanbun: I read the quoted Fox News info in the linked article. I don’t agree with how the “packing culture and a drive to retaliate” are being portrayed as a response to poor law enforcement. The inner city people who are “packing” are the same people who always “packed” and the same ones who commit most of the crimes in which a handgun is involved.
Thugs with guns. Same as always.
I hope this copies and pastes. Epic mocking of soy boy Turdeau.
Trudeau Orders All Geese Rounded Up And Shot For Honking In Solidarity With Truckers | The Babylon Bee
One question: how did the left capture “the moral high ground”?
We went from a country where duty, law & order, and ideas embedded in our constitution (love of country, freedom of speech, right to bare arms, right to worship) were universally agreed upon by a strong majority.
Now most of what we took for granted is either mocked or declared to be evil by a loud minority (but growing) which are led by big tech, the media and the left.
What flipping happened?
we stood by believing everything would be fine if we were just left alone.
and we keep consenting to be governed.
