Did Roe Just Get Effectively Overturned? – LewRockwell
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
American Thinker

September 3, 2021

*** begin quote ***

A few months ago, Governor Greg Abbott signed the “heartbeat law,” and everyone on the left was screaming about going to the courts to fight for “reproductive rights.” Frankly, I thought we’d be in the courts by now rather than watching the new law go into effect.

So what happened? Well, the law was written in such a way that it makes it difficult to challenge in the courts.

*** end quote ***

What should be a very private decision between a woman and her support “staff” is suddenly the Federal Gooferment’s business.

We should have a national debate on when does life begin and when do human rights inure to a person.

There’s a school of thought that says “rights” begins when you can assert them. Another say when you can fight for them. Others say at conception, when a human becomes viable outside the womb, or at birth.

I’m a fat old white guy injineer; not a doctor or an ethicist.  And I’ve never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.  But I’ll go out on a limb and say, in the absence of some consensus otherwise, the Gooferment, at all levels, should focus on more pressing problems.  The debt, the deficit, and such come to mind!

NEWJERSEY: Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee sets new diktats for the cable company monoloplies!

FED UP WITH YOUR CABLE COMPANY? NJ DRAFTS NEW RULES TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Dino Flammia — Published: September 1, 2021

*** begin quote ***

Cable companies in New Jersey may soon be forced to provide you with better customer service.

But it’s possible you’d end up paying for the improved communication.

The state agency that oversees utilities is in the process of adopting new rules related to the way cable companies handle incoming phone calls from users and provide the work needed in order to resolve customers’ problems.

“All I want is for people to get what they pay for,” Joseph Fiordaliso, president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, told New Jersey 101.5. “Right now, the general customer service experience, in our estimation, is not acceptable.”

A 46-page proposal, dotted with proposed changes aimed at improving the customer experience, was unveiled and approved by the BPU at a meeting in August. A virtual public hearing concerning the proposal is scheduled for Nov. 2 at 10 a.m., and comments may be submitted to the agency through Dec. 2.

*** end quote ***

How about just deregulate the entire industry and let the marketplace discipline “poor service”?

Instead the State creates “monopolies”!

Argh! 

Yeah, but then we wouldn’t need “regulators”, politicians, and bureaucrats.  And no campaign contributions from Cable Companies either!

The State is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. So let’s take away their power!

POLITICAL: Why not follow thru with DJT45’s deal?

SECURITY NEWS
Fact-Checking 9 Major Biden Claims About Retreat From Afghanistan
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / August 31, 2021

*** begin quote ***

1. Trump ‘Made a Deal’ With Taliban

Biden repeatedly said that he was bound by the February 2020 agreement between the Trump administration and the Taliban that the U.S. would exit Afghanistan. Many Republicans are among those who criticized the Trump deal with the Taliban. 

Biden said again Tuesday that when he came into office, the Taliban was in the strongest position it had been in since 2001 because of a deal with the Trump administration specifying that the U.S. would pull out by May 1. 

“The previous administration’s agreement said that if we stuck to the May 1 deadline that we had signed on to leave by, the Taliban wouldn’t attack any American forces, but if we stay, all bets were off,” Biden said during his national address from the State Dining Room of the White House, adding:

So, we were left with a simple decision, either follow through the commitment made by the last administration and leave Afghanistan or say we weren’t leaving and commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. That was the choice, the real choice.
During his brief press conference last Thursday after the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, Biden, responding to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, said he bears responsibility. 

But he also blamed his predecessor, Donald Trump. 

“You know as well as I do that the former president made a deal with the Taliban that he would get all of the American forces out of Afghanistan by May 1,” Biden said. “In return … he was given a commitment that the Taliban would continue to attack others, but would not attack any American forces. Remember that?”

How is August 31 May 1st?

Who decided to give up the airbase and release all those bad guys?

LIBERTARIAN: No one should be forced to take the jab!

Data Reveal the Truth About COVID Countermeasures
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola August 08, 2021

*** begin quote ***

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Data from Israel, where the vast majority of the population has been injected with the Pfizer mRNA concoction, show those “vaccinated” against COVID-19 and unvaccinated have the same infection rate, regardless of age. Empirical data from other countries also reveal the injections have no effect on transmission
  • Ivor Cummins suspects the obsession with COVID-19 injections has to do with profiteering and with justifying vaccine passports. The enormous emphasis on getting nearly everyone the COVID injection may also be related to elimination of the control group, which will effectively hide the real damage the injection is doing
  • Moderna and Pfizer have eliminated the original control groups by giving controls the real injection. This was done even though the trials are officially ongoing for another two years. So, there are no official control groups against which to assess the effectiveness and safety of these injections
  • Side effects of the COVID shots are vastly under-reported, so it’s very difficult to get a grasp on the real-world magnitude of the risks. According to a CDC whistleblower, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) under-reports deaths by a factor of five or more
  • In sworn testimony, the whistleblower claims 45,000 Americans had died within three days of their COVID shots as of July 9, 2021. The numbers get even higher when looking at deaths occurring within a week or two of the injections

*** end quote ***

Any wonder why the politicians and bureaucrats are pushing the vax?

AND, no “official control group”?

Next come the vax passports and “where are your papers?!!”.

GOVERNACIDE: Why then were the bombs dropped?

Thursday, August 12, 2021

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/08/john-v-denson/the-hiroshima-myth-3/

The Hiroshima Myth
By John V. Denson of Mises.org

*** begin quote ***

The stark fact is that the Japanese leaders, both military and civilian, including the emperor, were willing to surrender in May of 1945 if the emperor could remain in place and not be subjected to a war crimes trial after the war. This fact became known to President Truman as early as May of 1945. The Japanese monarchy was one of the oldest in all of history, dating back to 660 BC. The Japanese religion added the belief that all the emperors were the direct descendants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. The reigning Emperor Hirohito was the 124th in the direct line of descent. After the bombs were dropped on August 6 and 9 of 1945, and their surrender soon thereafter, the Japanese were allowed to keep their emperor on the throne and he was not subjected to any war crimes trial. The emperor, Hirohito, came on the throne in 1926 and continued in his position until his death in 1989. Since President Truman, in effect, accepted the conditional surrender offered by the Japanese as early as May of 1945, the question is posed, “Why then were the bombs dropped?”

*** end quote ***

To the USA’s everlasting shame.

DJ posts stealth pics of Obama’s ‘epic’ birthday party — before being forced to delete them
By Jesse O’Neill
August 8, 2021 | 3:44am | Updated

*** begin quote ***

A performer at former President Barack Obama’s birthday party managed to take stealth pictures of the opulent Martha’s Vineyard event and share them with Instagram followers.

Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman discreetly snapped pics of the event’s high-end food, drink and swag offerings and talked to their followers as the party unfolded, according to screenshots of the posts, which were later deleted under the event’s photography ban.

*** end quote ***

I guess because it was too big for the current rules, maskless, and non-vegan.

Guess the hypocritical socialist elite can’t have the bourgeoisie and the peasants see the opulence of today’s Marie Antoinettes!

Argh!

POLITICAL: Hmmm, where will the Pepuls Republik of Ill-and-annoy get 92% of it’s power?

Through incompetence and corruption, Illinois may lose two nuke reactors and their power grid
JAZZ SHAW Aug 07, 2021 4:01 PM ET

*** begin quote ***

Meanwhile, without a way to keep the nuclear power plants afloat, the Illinois power grid is teetering on the edge of disaster. They’ve known this problem was coming for a long time. Back in May the Chicago Sun-Times (never a hotbed of conservative opinions) published an editorial warning them that they needed to get off the stick and get this bill passed. This isn’t a problem that’s going to solve itself and it won’t just go away. What will go away is the state’s ability to supply electricity. And then you’re going to see the torches and pitchforks come out in a serious fashion.

*** end quote ***

You have to admire “political leadership”.  See a problem; kick the can down the road.

All for “climate change” virtue signaling.  

Even if, big <synonym for the act of procreation> -ing IF, you buy into “climate change” (which was “global warming” until it wasn’t warming and before that “global cooling” until it wasn’t cooling any more), until China and India change their ways and embrace poverty, nothing will change.

In the meantime, “We, The Sheeple” in the Pepuls Republik of Ill-and-annoy are going to get an fun carnival ride.

And, don’t dare blew it on Free Market Capitalism.

I wonder how a black market aka a free market in energy will evolve?

GOLDBUG: What if all the gold in Fort Know has long since left the country

Monday, August 9, 2021

The Extinction Of Gold Derivatives
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, AUG 07, 2021 – 07:00 AM
Authored by Alasdair Macleod via GoldMoney.com,

*** begin quote ***

The escape route of digital currencies probably explains why reducing the role of commercial banks in financial markets by curtailing their derivative activities is not raising serious concerns at the central bank level, let alone over the likely impact on the gold price. We can only conclude that at the highest levels of government the authorities are no longer concerned that a rising gold price is a challenge to fiat currencies and can be simply dismissed — in which case they will have underestimated the likely consequences of reversing a fifty-year tide of gold suppression.

*** end quote ***

All fiat currencies fail; it’s just a question of when.

In the pre-Fed pre-FDR days, one could save gold and silver coins as a “store of value”.  Since then “everyone” believes in the good old U$D.

I don’t.  

Catholic high school, taught by grizzly vets of WWII and Korea turned into religious, we learned Roman history.  Often struggling over the Latin. “nequam” stuck in my mind about the amount of silver in the Roman denarii.  

On a visit to the Smithsonian, I saw a display of the French franc of Louis I to Louis XVII which went from a hockey puck of gold to a paper thin shirt button.

At least in those cases, you could see the only shrink.  Now the FRB “greenbacks” look the same but their value has shrunk to next to nothing.

I don’t know when this very ugly chicken will come home to roost, but it will come.

Anyone not saving some silver and gold coins will have a rude awakening.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

“Fauci’s disastrous track record of misinformation, laid bare throughout his many rounds with Rand Paul, shows why the government has no business trying to be a monolithic source and arbiter of truth.” ~ Hannah Cox, Foundation for Economic Education
