Ben Bartee, an independent Bangkok-based American journalist is someone we are following because he is delightfully politically incorrect and anti-woke, and writes well; I think the two qualities are positively correlated. Here he has some insights on the woke question of weight, we are not supposed to say “fat” nowadays, not illegal yet, but politically incorrect. I have some personal observations on this.

I understand; I was a “fatso” in my youth and suffered terribly at school, being poor at sports, and later not even being able to get a dance during school dances (after the first one I did not show up and got detention). Thus, being over-weight all my life, never marrying, and in fact, never having a girlfriend in my life (and I am not gay!), being described by one girl I asked out as a “slob’s slob,” I particular detest the slim and fit vilifying us; it has led to depression and suicide by some of my peer group, and I could have been one.

I have not seen the statistics for Australia, but my guess it will be not as bad as the litigious United States: 32 percent of adult Americans do not trust lawyers, 35 percent do trust lawyers, and 33 percent are undecided/uncertain.

Well, even here it could be worse, as at least a bare majority trust lawyers. But I wonder if this matters? In fact, not trusting lawyers is a good thing for clients since it will keep them alert, sharp and scrutinising, which is needed. Trust can at times be blind and dumb, and people may not get the legal service they deserve as the lawyer may go to sleep on the case, or drag his/her feet. So, I am not concerned about the age-old complaint that lawyers are not to be trusted. What matters, is not breaking the law, and getting the job done.

Once upon a time, after world War II, being a refugee meant being a displaced person who could not reside in their previous country because of a well-founded fear of persecution, or safety. No reference to weather sensitivity there. Now a refugee is just another name for someone coming to the West from the Third World, wanting a better life style. I don’t blame them, I want a better life style too, but where do I go? Surely somewhere with better weather.

This has been written about at the blog, that the US CDC has done a complete 180 degree on its Covid narrative, such as the isolation and distance requirements. This change has been celebrated by many critics, but I think one should be cautious in partying too soon. The CDC, as detailed in another article, is considering a range of new mRNA vaxxes, so what is likely to happen is that Covid issue will be multiplied by other mRNA vaccines. As well, there has been no change in the CDC’s stance on the effectiveness of the Covid vaxxes, or even comments on the revealing nature of the injuries in the initial trials. So, in short, I don’t trust them as far as I could throw them with my bad back!

Brandon Smith has expressed something that I have been thinking about for a long time, AI from a Christian perspective. Computers can become something of an obsession and fetish, as seen by the addictive nature of computer games on young men, disrupting normal mental development. But beyond that, for the first time, there is a possible means of replacing the human being itself. I believe that God would prevent something that radical, but there is another take, drawing from war experience, that human free will is going down this path, and if destruction comes, we brought it on ourselves. Challenges like this had never faced by humans.

There are always plenty of crazies on both sides of the political out house who post death threat style messages, one being made recently against J. K. Rowling, over the Rushdie stabbing. But there is a difference with former CIA & NSA Director Michael Hayden and MSNBC contributor Michael Beschloss both posted tweets on Thursday promoting the execution of Donald Trump. No doubt, this is water-testing to see what response from the Trumpers it could produce. It is crazy since it would require Trump to be convicted of treason to have even a chance. It is possible, but will likely be the straw that breaks the conservative camel’s back, and that takes a lot of straws.

 I found this item, profound. With all the faith technos put in their computer society, there still remains the problem, that the more complex and sophisticated tech gets, the more possibilities for systems failure. Indeed, I was typing this article and suddenly Word crashed, losing even data I had saved. Then after turning the machine off, and on, it worked like a two-bob watch. Speaking of tech on the cheap, how is the guy who hacked Elon Musk’s Starlink with just a $ 25 device? Imagine if he could have afforded a $100 device! Clearly this high-tech society will face a major hacking disaster at some point, done by the nerd version of those who do school shootings. If the internet went down, we all would be in deep trouble today.

Conservatives are at long last calling out the FBI as a rogue organisation, pursuing a Democrat political agenda. This has come to a head with the illegal raid upon the Mar-a-Largo home of former President Donald Trump, but this was only the latest event in a longer chain of mischief. For those needing convincing, the following material gives more details of the dirt that the FBI has been wallowing in, like the proverbial pigs, pun not intended.

17,000 physicians and medical scientists declare that the state of medical emergency must be lifted, scientific integrity restored, and crimes against humanity addressed. Here is their open letter. Things are slowly turning.

Some elites who once did not support the lab leak hypothesis on the origin of Covid now seem to have jumped ship and come over. Others are coming out and arguing for something which was once taboo, as President Donald Trump has proposed it. A recent take on this issue has been given by Neil Harrison and economist Jeffrey Sachs, but they are at pains to say that if SARS-CoV-2 did come from a lab, it was an accident. But, that is the unargued weak point in their paper. Why believe that? It makes more sense, and explains more of China’s covering up operations to see it as a deliberate release. And, if so,  they got away with it.

Our favourite Russian, Igor Chudov, makes the case which has now been made by many Covid critics, including Dr Robert Malone, that the vaccines are now causing reinfections. Rather, there is a weakening of the immune system, and a waning of the vaccine, assuming that it even worked in the first place, so that it is now a pandemic of the vaccinated. That perhaps explains why the US CDC has recently dropped its previous Covid narrative, which it once held with religious fervour.

Mark Steyn gives his view on the decay of American intuitions, prompted by the fall of the rule of law in the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Largo mansion. He notes that this trend has been going on for some time, and was only slightly delayed by the Trump presidency. It is likely to continue now the Democrats have got electoral fraud perfected. It is not clear what the answer is, and it looks like the fall of Rome repeated once more.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – You may know that your society is doomed.” Ayn Rand,  Atlas Shrugged

An investigation has been launched into the NOBIVAC rabies vaccine for animals by Israel’s Minister of Agriculture after an adverse events report was higher than usual, of ten adverse events out of 100,000 vaccinations. No animal deaths occurred, but there was fever and local pain to allergy and shock symptoms. Compared to the human case of the mRNA vaxxes, it seems that the animals are being treated far better than the test subjects of the grand experiment on the human race.

Here is more coverage on the issue examined yesterday, about how many people are actually dying from the Covid vaxxes. There has been observed a massive rise in the excess deaths in most jurisdictions, and this has not been accounted for by any common cause, and has occurred consistent with the Covid vaccine rollout. Correlation in itself does not prove causation, but suggests it, given further investigation. “In every single month since the beginning of 2022, partly vaccinated and double vaccinated 18-39-year-olds have been more likely to die than unvaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds,” reports Exposé News.

“Triple vaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds however have had a mortality rate that has worsened by the month following the mass booster campaign that occurred in the UK in December 2021.”

How did modern medicine get this bad, to be little more than a prescription factory for the profit creation of Big Pharma? Why does the average doctor know, and care so little about holistic health, even things like nutrition and exercise? There is a globalist financial connection, as Dr Mercola has brilliantly documented in a recent blog, and which will apparently be discussed in greater detail in his forthcoming book. Before 1910, medicine had taken a holistic approach, with, given the limits of the time, making a concern with nutrition, herbs and preventative measures. But John D. Rockefeller changed all of that with the commission of the Flexner Report, which ultimately led to the criminalisation of natural therapies, and the shutdown of many medical schools. The rise of the Big Pharma doctor, which we have seen clearly with the Covid plandemic had begun.

The plot is thick. Dr Mercola in a now deleted but tremendous, well-researched post, details the intricate connections between globalist organisations, governments, and Big Tech and Big Pharma. They all connect up in one massive unholy alliance. The attack is now on upon all those opposing them, with the United Nations going to war on conspiracy theorists. For them, world events are “not secretly manipulated behind the scenes by powerful forces with negative intent,” and to prove it, they are attempting to manipulate world events quite openly, and not behind the scenes. Indeed, at present, as detailed by Dr Mercola, there is very much no conspiracy at all, as the forces of darkness are so powerful they need not lurk in the background as they did for centuries. Now it is full speed ahead with their agenda to destroy all tradition, to remake the world and human nature in their image, for transhumanism. It is, as others have said, totally Satanic.

Law Professor Jonathan Turley has given his take on the raid on former President Trump’s mar-a-Largo mansion. If the documents that were requested were declassified, as Trump says that they were, and as presidents have the power to do, prosecution would be difficult, if not impossible. End of story. But as many have argued, this raid was not about enforcing the law, but more like an act of war, which has only just begun.

Nurses, under a clock of anonymity are speaking out about what happened, and still is happening regarding Covid treatment protocols in the hospitals, which have killed patients. “They’re horrific, and they’re all in lockstep,” Staci Kay, a nurse practitioner with the North Carolina Physicians for Freedom who left the hospital system to start her own early treatment private practice, told The Epoch Times. “They will not consider protocols outside of what’s given to them by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the NIH (National Institute of Health). And nobody is asking why.” Worse, the social distancing and isolation requirements have meant that dying patients have not been able to have family with them at heir end, dying alone. It is bitterly cruel, with no accountability. The Covid plandemic has raised vital issues about medical freedom, or rather the lack of it.

US constitution law professor, Alan Dershowitz has commented upon the legalities, or lack of them, of the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Largo mansion. First there was unequal treatment under the law, as Hillary Clinton was not investigated or raided by the FBI. Dershowitz said, “You need equal treatment. Garland talked about even-handed treatment: equity, equality. … Hillary Clinton walks around with a hat now saying, ‘BUT HER EMAILS,’ and that’s a good argument. Why aren’t they treated the same? If I had said that Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted and then said that Donald Trump shouldn’t be, that would be very inconsistent, but I would never make such an argument.” The search thus, was without justification.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/15/218313211/

The FBI and the lamestream media said that everything taken from Trump’s mansion mar-a-Largo, was particularised on the search warrant. But numerous documents that were subject to client-attorney privilege, and Trump’s passports were taken as well. This was all denied, but when it became impossible to keep up the lie, it was admitted that the authorities, so-called, more accuracy called tyrannies, had the passports and would return them. That is just how false news, and a false political-police system works now, based upon lies and deceptions.
