A Belated Admission

Politico finally admits, reluctantly, that the Hunter Biden emails are real:

Ben Schreckinger’s “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power,” out today, finds evidence that some of the purported HUNTER BIDEN laptop material is genuine, including two emails at the center of last October’s controversy.

A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden’s emails confirmed he did receive a 2015 email from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet Joe Biden. The same goes for a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives includes the line, “10 held by H for the big guy?” (This person recalled seeing both emails, but was not in a position to compare the leaked emails word-for-word to the originals.)

MORE: Emails released by a Swedish government agency also match emails in the leaked cache, and two people who corresponded with Hunter Biden confirmed emails from the cache were genuine.

While the leak contains genuine files, it remains possible that fake material has been slipped in.

That is, of course, possible. And yet there is absolutely no evidence or substantive suggestion that any of the material is actually fake.

They’re Not on Our Side

Anon explains that cuckservatives, the Republican Party, and Conservative Inc. are actively hostile to America and the Right:

Did you ever notice how it’s always us leading the fight and it’s always the vast majority of elected and appointed Republicans in the rearguard, robbing the baggage train, or in full retreat? But whenever we are about to score a victory against the Regime, they charge over us and stand athwart our crumpled bodies, shouting “STOP! PUT THAT SPEAR DOWN! THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE!”

Well, when they say, “That is not who we are,” they are telling the truth – defeating the left isn’t who they are. When it comes to Republicans and us, there is no “we” because they aren’t on our side.

The Republican party’s mission is to maximally restrain us and let the left beat and stab us until we agree not to vote for Trump again.

They are a group not of bandits, but confidence artists and conmen. They don’t do direct violence, they trick other people into doing it for them. As long as we keep them in power, sitting pretty with pensions, health care, and insider trading opportunities – and $5 million a year job with Wall Street or a defense contractor afterwards – they’ll do the bare minimum to keep the Democrats from destroying our lives with insane policies. Not enough that we can ever escape needing the Republican party, though – can’t have the milk cows escaping the pasture! – but just enough that we can create more value for them to harvest

The Democrats want to torture the milk cow to death because “they identify as milk cows and we are othering them and denying them their lived experiences” – really they just want to rape it, eat it’s children, and sell the milk cow to China, where it’s teats will be sliced off and a spigot installed in it’s gall bladder.

The Republicans understand that they must keep the milk cow thinking that they love it, so instead of beating it themselves they let the Democrats beat it. They just want to maximize milk and calf production, eat like kings, and then send ole Betsy to the glue factory once she’s no longer good for anything else.

We are the milk cow.

I particularly appreciate his perspective on the demonic aspect of corporations. Think about that specific term a little, and how corporations are created before you dismiss the concept out of hand.

Who Wants to be the President

Karl Denninger explains to the Republican governors how the first one to adopt an comprehensive Ivermectin + Zinc + Vitamin C protocol and conclusively defeat the coronavirus, the vaccines, and the lockdowns can also defeat Donald Trump for the 2024 Presidential nomination.

For anyone suspected you dispense to them five doses of Ivermectin to be taken every day if they are obese or otherwise morbid, and every second day if not along with one dose per every two days for everyone in the household, calibrated by their weight. Everyone in the household also gets ten days of a 1,000mg Vitamin C tablet and ten days of 30mg of Zinc, both dietary supplements. The exception is anyone on a blood thinner; you simply ask and, if they are, they don’t get the drug (but do get the supplements.)

The State buys the drug in bulk, from India if you have to (fly a charter over there to pick it up; **** the Feds) and dispenses it.

Why?

Read the linked article. This is is not just about treatment; it is also about cutting off forward transmission of the virus. It will not work every time but it doesn’t have to work every time — just often enough to suppress Rt below 1.0 and the virus dies out.

The risk of someone having a serious adverse event from this is 1 in 600,000. If Florida has ten percent of their population that gets infected (or suspected to be) or is in a household with someone who is over the next three months (improbably high, but let’s go with it) that would be a cost of about $5 million. For Alabama it would cost about a million. That’s it.

Who’s got the stones to do this?

Whoever does it first and collapses their Covid-19 case, hospitalization and death rate is President in 2024.

It’s not even remotely difficult and massively less expensive than even a single week of lockdown. So why isn’t every single Republican governor implementing this plan? After all, it’s been around since December 2020.

Remember When You Thought He Was A Good Guy?

The fact is, George W. Bush has always been considerably more evil, and more awful, then the Democrats ever said he was. That was why I labelled him “George Delano Bush” and refused to endorse, support, or vote for him in both 2000 and 2004. It’s only becoming obvious to everyone now.

Former President George W. Bush has used his speech on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to call out “violent extremists at home.” While visiting Shanksville, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Bush, who was president at the time of the deadly terrorist attacks, compared the foreign terrorists behind 9/11 to the supposed domestic extremists in the US today.

“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come, not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within,” the former president said.

The Republican admitted there is “little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,” but claimed they are “children of the same foul spirit” and seemed to reference the January 6 Capitol rioters when he said one “cultural overlap” is an interest to “defile national symbols.”

Remember, they always invert. This is a globalist child of Babel attacking men who are defending their nations.

Creepy Joe’s Covid Plan

President Biden is implementing a six-pronged, comprehensive national strategy that employs the same science-based approach that was used to successfully combat previous variants of COVID-19 earlier this year. This plan will ensure that we are using every available tool to combat COVID-19 and save even more lives in the months ahead, while also keeping schools open and safe, and protecting our economy from lockdowns and damage.

  • Requiring All Employers with 100+ Employees to Ensure their Workers are Vaccinated or Tested Weekly
  • Requiring Vaccinations for all Federal Workers and for Millions of Contractors that Do Business with the Federal Government
  • Requiring COVID-⁠19 Vaccinations for Over 17 Million Health Care Workers at Medicare and Medicaid Participating Hospitals and Other Health Care Settings
  • Calling on Large Entertainment Venues to Require Proof of Vaccination or Testing for Entry
  • Requiring Employers to Provide Paid Time Off to Get Vaccinated
  • Providing Easy Access to Booster Shots for All Eligible Americans
  • Ensuring Americans Know Where to Get a Booster
  • Requiring Staff in Head Start Programs, Department of Defense Schools, and Bureau of Indian Education-Operated Schools to be Vaccinated
  • Calling on All States to Adopt Vaccine Requirements for All School Employees
  • Providing Additional Funding to School Districts for Safe School Reopening, Including Backfilling Salaries and Other Funding Withheld by States for Implementing COVID Safety Measures
  • Using the Department of Education’s Full Legal Authority to Protect Students’ Access to In-Person Instruction
  • Getting Students and School Staff Tested Regularly
  • Providing Every Resource to the FDA to Support Timely Review of Vaccines for Individuals Under the Age of 12
  • Mobilizing Industry to Expand Easy-to-Use Testing Production
  • Making At-Home Tests More Affordable
  • Sending Free Rapid, At-Home Tests to Food Banks and Community Health Centers
  • Expanding Free, Pharmacy Testing
  • Continuing to Require Masking for Interstate Travel and Double Fines
  • Continue to Require Masking on Federal Property
  • Increasing Support for COVID-Burdened Hospitals
  • Getting Life-Saving Monoclonal Antibody Treatment to Those Who Need It
  • Expanding the Pool of Health Care Professionals Providing Treatment by Deploying Federal Monoclonal Antibody Strike Teams

Aside from the support for monoclonal antibody treatment, there’s literally nothing good one can say about this plan. I’m just surprised that they didn’t go right for the flight bans, but then, they are probably under the mistaken illusion that those who are still unvaccinated won’t even hesitate to quit their jobs rather than submit to the death jabs.

Vaxxing All Feds

Anti-President Biden dictates the vaccination of all federal employees and all employees of federal contractors:

President Joe Biden on Thursday will impose more stringent vaccine rules on federal workers, and take steps to encourage private businesses to do the same, during a major speech meant to lay out a new approach to combating the coronavirus.

Among the steps that the President will take is signing an executive order requiring all federal workers to be vaccinated, with no option of being regularly tested to opt out of the requirement, according to a source familiar with the plans.

The President will also sign an executive order directing that same standard be extended to employees of contractors who do business with the federal government. The Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service and National Institute of Health will also complete their previously announced vaccination requirements, which the White House estimates covers 2.5 million people.

That is a significant move beyond the one Biden announced earlier this summer that required federal workers be vaccinated but allowed for those who opted out to be subject to stringent mitigation measures. The White House has said the federal government should act as a model for other businesses in their own vaccine mandates, and has praised large companies that require employees to be vaccinated.

And he will address the confusion over booster shots, though will not make any new announcements on when additional doses will be authorized for Americans.

Suddenly the NIGHTMARE KITTY SCENARIO doesn’t look so awful. At least we’d be rid of the entire federal government. I’ll update this post once the actual announcement is made.

UPDATE: CNN’s description appears to be more than a bit of an exaggeration. The Department of Defense guidance letter that went out this morning allows for both exemptions and testing in lieu of “full-vaccination”, which is defined as two shots, no booster. As always, never trust the media’s version of events.

Fake Votes, Fake President

As I have stated on many occasions over the last 11 months, Creepy Joe Biden is not, and has never been, the President of the United States. No matter how many times the media proclaims him to have been elected President, that is no more meaningful or real than if they declared him to be a duck or a Klingon.

He simply isn’t. And the forthcoming audits of the 2020 election will prove this beyond any shadow of a reasonable doubt.

The Mark of the Australian Beast

Australia returns to its penal colony roots:

The Australian state of Victoria will “lock out” unvaccinated people from participating in the economy, Premier Dan Andrews has announced. Victoria is currently under draconian lockdown restrictions, with residents of Melbourne – who make up the vast majority of the state’s population – living under a 9pm to 5am curfew, forbidden from leaving their homes except to work, buy groceries, or get a Covid-19 vaccination. When the lockdown is lifted, Premier Dan Andrews said on Sunday, future restrictions will apply only to those who are unvaccinated.

“There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews stated. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”

So much for the once-vaunted courage of the ANZACs. What a lot of feeble sheep they are turning out to be! Historically they went to war for considerably less egregious violations of the rights of foreigners. Then again, on the plus side, this is sound encouragement for sane Australians to leave before China takes over the continent.

Confucius Condemns Neoliberalism

A philosophical experts on Aquinas considers the applicability of The Analects to today’s catastrophically atomized society.

What is essential to a well-functioning society? In a famous passage from The Great Learning traditionally attributed to Confucius (551-479 B.C.), the philosopher says:

The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the kingdom, first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order well their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.

Things being investigated, knowledge became complete. Their knowledge being complete, their thoughts were sincere. Their thoughts being sincere, their hearts were then rectified. Their hearts being rectified, their persons were cultivated. Their persons being cultivated, their families were regulated. Their families being regulated, their states were rightly governed. Their states being rightly governed, the whole kingdom was made tranquil and happy.

From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides. It cannot be, when the root is neglected, that what should spring from it will be well ordered.

These words from the great man of the East would be warmly endorsed in the West by ancient thinkers like Plato and Aristotle and medieval thinkers like Thomas Aquinas. But they run counter to the modern West’s liberalism, including the libertarian brand of liberalism that too often passes for “conservatism.” The liberal attitude is that the moral character of individuals does not matter for social order so long as the right rules and institutions are in place. Part of Confucius’s point, and that of any conservatism worthy of the name, is that rules and institutions are ineffectual without individuals willing to subordinate their desires to them. And individuals who do not seek the good (so as to “rectify their hearts”) and the true (thus pursuing the “investigation of things”) can neither curb bad desires nor cultivate good ones. The brute force of legal coercion cannot substitute for this missing moral fiber. As we read in chapter 2 of The Analects:

The Master said: “Lead them by political maneuvers, restrain them with punishments: the people will become cunning and shameless. Lead them by virtue, restrain them with ritual: they will develop a sense of shame and a sense of participation.”

And again:

Someone said to Confucius: “Master, why don’t you join the government?” The Master said: “In the Documents it is said: ‘Only cultivate filial piety and be kind to your brothers, and you will be contributing to the body politic.’ This is also a form of political action; one need not necessarily join the government.”

And in chapter 12:

The Master said: “I could adjudicate lawsuits as well as anyone. But I would prefer to make lawsuits unnecessary.”

In such passages, Confucius reminds us that the personal is the political, not in the totalitarian sense that absorbs the personal up into the political and tries to mold attitudes and actions via state coercion, but on the contrary in the humane sense that devolves the political down to the personal level, in the recognition that social order depends more fundamentally on prevailing morals and mores than on legislation.

Wisdom comes in many forms. And it is remarkable how often wisdom from wildly disparate sources ultimately direct us toward the same conclusion.

It Ain’t Creepy Joe

Donald J. Trump observes that Fake President Biden is not in charge:

Trump: “He’s (Biden) not running government anyway. They have a cabal that runs government. A group of people.”

Maria: “Who’s running it, Mr. President? Who do you think is in charge?”

Trump: “I don’t want to say right now.”

Whoever it is, we’ll find out sooner or later. As I’ve frequently noted, the only thing we can be absolutely certain isn’t the case is whatever the media declares is the Official Story.

But it’s already apparent to everyone that Creepy Joe can barely walk or talk, so it’s obvious that he’s not running anything.
