DISCOURAGING: Crime is going up; the stats are being manipulated

Thursday, September 12, 2024

ABC’s David Muir Lied About Crime Falling Under Biden-Harris
John R. Lott, Jr.  | Sep 11, 2024

*** begin quote ***

DAVID MUIR: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country, …” 

In fact, Trump was correct about the increase in crime under Biden. While violent crime fell by 17 percent under Trump, Biden has seen it rise by 43 percent.

Muir doesn’t understand what the FBI is measuring. The FBI counts the number of crimes reported to police. Trump was right that less than half of police departments are now giving that data to the FBI, but, more importantly, Trump was discussing what was happening to total crime, not just the number of crimes reported to police.

There are two measures of crime: One, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), counts the number of crimes reported to police yearly.

The other, the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey, asks about 240,000 people each year whether they have been victims of crime, in an attempt to measure both reported and unreported crimes.

We know that crime victims report only about 40 percent of violent crimes and 30 percent of property crimes to police.

*** end quote ***

Like the Covid “vaccine” injury stats, the Gooferment has put their collective “thumb” on the scale.  

Sigh!

Like economic data on inflation, they redefine the yardstick.

Argh!

All to make themselves look good.

Makes you not want to believe anything that they say.

Why report “unemployment nubers”?  Just report Social Security Tax Receipts.  Because they want to fudge the numbers.

Argh!

We know they don’t enforce the “felon in possession of a firearm”!  Why not?

DISCOURAGING: … … no prison for NJ parents

Baby girl dead with skull fractures but no prison for NJ parents
Rick Rickman
Published: August 12, 2024

  • 🔴 Parents get pre-trial intervention program agreement
  • 🔴 Baby girl dies from skull fractures and brain bleed
  • 🔴 Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** begin quote ***

A former police officer and teacher charged in the death of their infant daughter have reached an agreement with Mercer County prosecutors that avoids any time in prison.

*** and ***

Prosecutors said that Daniel Bannister, a police officer in Ewing at the time, hurt his daughter. Catherine Bannister was accused of knowing about the abuse, covering it up, and not getting her daughter help until it was too late.

Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** end quote ***

I hope someone explains WHY the text messages were suppressed.  Seems like very relevant information.  

If there is not a great explanation, then the deal should be revoked and the Judge “retired”.

Argh!  Very sad.  How little human life is regarded in our society.

DISCOURAGING: Recently John Oliver overstated how little “migrant crime” there is

2 men charged in horrific rape, murder of 12-year old Houston girl are illegal immigrants
By Sharyl Attkisson | July 24, 2024

*** begin quote ***

A horrific rape and strangulation death of a child is being linked to two illegal immigrants from Venezuela.

*** end quote ***

I think John Oliver recently overstated how little “migrant crime” there is. Maybe, just maybe, the R’s are hyping it too much.

I’m not a fan of either the D’s or the R’s.

But I do think “crime” is a much bigger problem overall and “migrant crime” is a component of it. Native USA-ers at WalMart, shoplifting, and flash mobs are another significant component of the perception.

Until the police and “justice bureaucrats” get tough and back to work, it’ll continue to be a problem. Some more traffic tickets would be helpful too. Argh!

In the mean time, cracking down on illegal immigration is a prudent strategy to “migrant crime”.  You can’t be unconcerned at the military age Chinese and Middle Eastern men in the crowds at the border.

And, we really can’t have “open borders” when we have a “welfare state”.   Never mind that we can’t afford the “warfare state” either!

Don’t get me started on the corrupt state or the MIC (Military Industrial Congressional) complex.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: America’s Societal Collapse Accelerates

Authorities Are Literally Losing Control Of The Streets As America’s Societal Collapse Accelerates
by Tyler Durden
Tuesday, Jul 09, 2024 – 01:25 PM
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

*** begin quote ***

In a civilized society, authorities are able to maintain at least a basic level of law and order in the streets most of the time. Unfortunately, at this point it is up for debate whether the United States is still a “civilized society” or not. The chaos in our streets never seems to end, and those that are in charge of running things don’t seem to be able to regain control. The theft, violence and mayhem that we are witnessing in our major cities is being fueled by the worst homelessness crisis in our entire history, the worst drug crisis in our entire history, and the worst migration crisis in our entire history. If authorities cannot control our streets now, what is going to happen once our societal collapse reaches a much more advanced stage?

*** end quote ***

Over and over, the same story.  Laws not enforced.  Criminals not sentenced for violent crimes.  “Juveniles” not prosecuted as adults.  Bad behavior is tolerated or ignored.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: Isn’t POTS a side effect of the Covid jab?

POTS — formally known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome — is when your heart rate increases quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

It’s a chronic disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system and blood circulation and could lead to tremors, nausea, and fainting.

Isn’t that a side effect of the Covid jab?

DISCOURAGING: Christianity died by its own flaw

Friday, June 28, 2024

https://www.amren.com/videos/2024/06/the-future-of-christianity/

Posted on June 21, 2024
The Future of Christianity
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, June 21, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Will it help save white people?

Christianity is dying in the West. The religion that, for centuries, defined Europeans is increasingly becoming a Third-World religion. What does this mean for white people?

This is the article got me wondering: “Hundreds of Scottish churches up for sale as UK turns away from Christianity.”

*** end quote ***

It was killed by its own hand — pedophilia priests.  And the Secular Progressive Gooferment used that to force “christianity” to accept all sorts of perversion.  People didn’t leave the Church; the “Church” left the people.  When the Church failed to fight Gooferment Skrules, it basically gave up the future.  Instead of insisting that Gooferment had no role in “education” uncovering the real reason for its interest  — Gooferment jobs and get the venue to dumb down the future citizens pushing the propaganda that the Gooferment is the “solution” to every problem.  Instead of fighting for religious freedom, the Churches all knuckled under probably blackmailed by the pedophilia charge.

Interesting that we still don’t have Epstein’s Client List that could subject the Gooferment to its own criminal behavior!

DISCOURAGING: Here’s a movie that personifies what going on in Gaza

Friday, June 21, 2024

I thought you might be interested in this page from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07R9PKW3X/ref=atv_dp_share_r_em_9ec564baef3f4

Warsaw 44

The true story of a group of scouts called Szare Szeregi during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw. The liberation of one of its members through maverick military action in broad daylight known as ”Action at the Arsenal,” was the single biggest feat undertaken by a youth resistance organization in all of occupied Europe during WWII. Polish language with English subtitles.

IMDb 6.6 2 h 7 min 2014

# – # – # – # – # 

As movies go, it’s good.  Other than an unbelievable ending, it was good enough to viscerally demonstrate what happens when war is made on civilian populations.  The children suffer the worst.  It’s tragic. And, that’s why it is a “war crime”.

Fast forward 80 years, just like D-Day, and we can see what the people in Gaza are enduring.  It’s unforgivable.  And I hope all the politicians and bureaucrats, who caused it or failed to stop it, burn in a special ring of Hell for their part.

DISCOURAGING: Isn’t killing animals the first step in the psychopath serial killers development?

Friday, June 14, 2024

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13508165/Teenagers-Cat-Murder-Gun-Shooting-Oregon-Video.html

Appalling moment pack of warped teenagers shoot family’s friendly pet cat dead – then pull out their phones to film kitty writhe in agony as she died
By Mitchell Goodbar For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:27 EDT, 8 June 2024 | Updated: 02:08 EDT, 8 June 2024 

*** begin quote ***

In the video, five teenage boys surround the cat, named Vortex, who appears to be lounging on the corner of the street.

After a few moments, one of the sick boys pulls out a long-barreled gun and aims it at Vortex, who was cherished for her sweet and friendly personality. 

Then the teenager fired his gun and struck the cat. 

*** and ***

The Salem Police Department recently charged two 17-year-old teens in connection with the cat’s slaying.

Both of the boys were charged with first-degree aggravated animal abuse. One of them was additionally charged with evidence tampering. 

But the investigation remains ongoing. The teenager who shot the cat has not been identified, and the weapon he used has not been recovered.

*** end quote ***

Isn’t killing pets a sign of a future serial killer psychopath?

Sorry, but these are not “teenagers” any more.  They should be charged as adults.

But since this is Oregon, I expect a slap on the wrist and sent home to plan their next “adventure” like a school shooting.

Where are we going as nation to produce monsters like these?

Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic ‘shantytown’ that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city’s slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues.  

Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a video on May 31 of massive temporary houses built along service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland. 

The footage showed trash strewn around scores of houses that were built of wood, tarp and other discarded materials.

DISCOURAGING: Addicted to Sports Gambling? Does NOT sound like a good trend

Saturday, May 11, 2024

Bad Bets

*** begin quote ***

Our Entire Society Is Becoming Addicted to Sports Gambling

Athletes are being caught in scandals, yes, but the bigger scandal is that the ease and prevalence of betting is driving a huge rise in addiction—and neither the leagues nor our politicians care.

*** and ***

Whenever I watch professional sports on TV, I’m always dumbfounded when I see online gambling sites as sponsors of the NFL, NBA, and MLB. If I remember my sports history correctly, we used to keep a significant distance between sports leagues and gambling to avoid scandals like the 1919 “Black Sox.” In this article, Alex Shephard argues that a partnership between professional sports and gambling has given rise to an even bigger scandal than thrown games: a huge rise in gambling addiction, particularly among young men. We’re already seeing an increase in bankruptcy and relationship problems due to online gambling. I suspect we’ll be reading more about the problems of online sports betting in the coming years. 

*** end quote ***

I too see all the ads and know that someone is paying for the advertisements.  And they are not cheap.  And not run by someone with innocent motivations.

That’s all you need to know to see where this is going!

DISCOURAGING: ‘Conspiracy Theories’ are not longer imaginary rantings of loonies, but warning signs of a downward trajectory

Tuesday, April 30, 2024

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/04/conspiracy_theories_aren_t_theoretical_anymore.html

‘Conspiracy Theories’ Aren’t Theoretical Anymore
By John Green

*** begin quote ***

The national mood in the mid-twentieth century was very different from now.

  •     The United States was respected around the world — even if not necessarily liked.
  •     Technology was advancing faster than at any time in human history.
  •     Our cities were mostly orderly, safe, and clean.
  •     We believed there were few hardships which couldn’t be overcome with hard work. Opportunities seemed endless, as was our optimism.
  •     We were completely naïve about the danger posed by our own government.

Not everything was sunny. We had problems that needed attention. That is the nature of human existence after all. But when Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” we just thought he was promoting self-reliance and highlighting government inefficiency. As I said, we were naïve.

*** and ***

As we watch all this unfold, we know that vast government criminal conspiracies are no longer theoretical. There is nothing demented or delusional about believing our government would willingly facilitate the murder a political threat. The actions of the DoJ in conjunction with the legislation proposed by the Democrats makes that perfectly clear.

The plot to place Donald Trump at the tender mercies of a prison’s “genpop” is not the only evidence of government criminal conspiracy.

*** and ***

Things have changed a lot since the mid-20th century. The children of the 21st century have a completely different worldview.

  •     The United States is a corrupt and impotent international laughingstock.
  •     We’ve become technically stunted. Replacing the Francis Scott Key bridge is expected to take three times longer than building the Golden Gate bridge almost a century ago.
  •     Our cities are becoming unlivable post-apocalyptic hellscapes.
  •     “Living the American dream” is no longer a middle-class expectation.
  •     We know that fear of our own government is a prudent mindset.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn’t sound so crazy now that the conspiracies are no longer theoretical.

John Green is a retired engineer and political refugee from Minnesota, now residing in Idaho. He spent his career designing complex defense systems, developing high performance organizations, and doing corporate strategic planning. He is a staff writer for the American Free News Network and can be reached at greenjeg@gmail.com.

*** end quote ***

And lest we forget that JFK was killed by the Deep State to prevent him from ending the Vietnam War and sending LBJ to prison.

Can the USA ever return to its former greatness?

Not very likely,  Argh!

DISCOURAGING: “Havisham future” is predicted for Western Civilization?

Sunday, April 21, 2024

https://sonar21.com/miss-havisham-and-the-west-by-helmholtz-smith/

MISS HAVISHAM AND THE WEST
11 April 2024 by HELMHOLTZ SMITH 

*** begin quote ***

Miss Havisham is a character in Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations. A wealthy woman, she was jilted and swindled on her wedding day. From that day on she has allowed nothing to change. The wedding feast sits there, liquids evaporated, silverware corroded, cakes and food rotted; overrun with vermin and spider webs. She wears still her wedding dress, filthy and torn. The Day preserved, decayed and monstrous. Time and events move on around her but her past is her present and her pitiless future.

Will this be the West in fifty years? Surrounded by decay and filth but still clinging its past? Shouting about its ever-so-valuable values, ranting on about the Rules-Based International Order, boasting it’s the best at this and the most at that, issuing judgments on the bad behavior of the others, sanctioning non-believers, bathed in its media feedback loop. Still the highest GDP in USD! (Now Big Mac Cricketburgers are $1000 a pop, there are lots of dollars in every pocket!)

But nobody in the rest of the world cares. They’ve moved on. No tourist visits the moldering house and its unhinged inhabitants. They prefer cruising the high speed railroad from Cape Town to Beijing with a side trip to Baikal. Who wants to be robbed in the shoot-up galleries of Amsterdam, the tent cities of New York, the machete gangs of London? If it’s Tuesday and riots, it must be Paris. Young Harvard graduates pass out in their slums and dream of becoming a toilet cleaner in Omsk Airport – full benefits, you know. Plus dental. And you can afford a small apartment on your pay.

*** end quote ***

A pretty bleak prediction.  Given the national debt and unfunded liabilities, it seems we have no place else to go but down.

“Airstream travel trailers are not designed to carry passengers while in motion,” the company said in a statement. 

*** end quote ***

Having had two trailers and Minnie Winnie, the trailer dealers drummed into us that no one should be in the trailer when it was being towed.  One dealer had pictures of accidents to drive the point home.  Even in the Minnie Winnie, the dealer emphasized seat belts when driving.  So this accident was predictable and avoidable.

*** begin quote ***

This is a game-changer.

For the first time in 75 years, Mattel is making a major change to the iconic board game Scrabble.

The new launch is a double-sided version of the famous board game — one side with the original game for those who want to stick to the long-time traditional version, and one side with a “less competitive” version to appeal to Gen Z gamers.

The flip side of the classic game, called Scrabble Together, will include helper cards, use a simpler scoring system, be quicker to play and allow people to play in teams.

DISCOURAGING: People seem to be giving up to easily

‘I’m 28. And I’m Scheduled to Die in May.’

  • Some right-to-die activists want everyone to have access to euthanasia—even young people with mental illness. Are they also making suicide contagious?

By Rupa Subramanya
April 1, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Zoraya ter Beek, 28, expects to be euthanized in early May. 

Her plan, she said, is to be cremated.

“I did not want to burden my partner with having to keep the grave tidy,” ter Beek texted me. “We have not picked an urn yet, but that will be my new house!” 

She added an urn emoji after “house!”

Ter Beek, who lives in a little Dutch town near the German border, once had ambitions to become a psychiatrist, but she was never able to muster the will to finish school or start a career. She said she was hobbled by her depression and autism and borderline personality disorder. Now she was tired of living—despite, she said, being in love with her boyfriend, a 40-year-old IT programmer, and living in a nice house with their two cats. 

She recalled her psychiatrist telling her that they had tried everything, that “there’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better.” 

At that point, she said, she decided to die. “I was always very clear that if it doesn’t get better, I can’t do this anymore.”

*** end quote ***

I haver always thought that one of the rules in the “Game of Life” was that “You can’t leave early.”

As I have gotten older, maybe I’m wrong but how we treat and are treated should really value our humanity.

I’d sure like this person to find health and happiness.  I’m not sure that suicide is the best or only course.

Sigh!

Incumbent politicians enjoy record reelection in an aging Congress

AND OPINES on

*** begin quote ***

In America, incumbents get reelected north of 90 percent. Did you know in the House of Representatives, the reelection of incumbents has never dipped below 85 percent? So you only have 15 percent of being voted out in the next election. Who doesn’t like those odds? This is why nothing changes. We get the same people in office year after year because they know how to play the game and grease the right palms, all thanks to the fiat money printer.

If you want to see all the BS the federal government spends on their deprecating fiat dollar, check out the Citizens Against Government Waste website. This will give you a good idea of the crap that is being funded in your name.

So, knowing this, do you think they will willingly give up all this power, prestige, and influence? I don’t think so.

DISCOURAGING: Are the detahs due to the Covis-19 “vaccine” being misrepresented?

Sunday, March 10, 2024

A Case Study in Covid-19 Vaccine Related Death Certificate Fraud

  • This is how fake science works. The answer you do not like must bring unassailable proof. The answer you prefer does not have to provide any evidence whatsoever, and is true until proven otherwise

Ethical Skeptic 
Feb 26, 2024

*** begin quote ***

When the death certificate arrived this week from the state, as crafted by the hospice palliative care physician (who had never even seen her – remember, these people determine the greatest preponderance of ’cause of death’ calls), the Immediate and Underlying (and a fortiori Multiple) Cause of Death only had one ICD code listed: “Alzheimer’s Disease”. The malady was not even titled correctly: G30 (Alzheimer disease). Apparently, for a cancer diagnosis one must bring definitive proof, but for an ad hoc explanation one does not need proof at all, nay even a hint. You just merely fabricate the answer your state medical board enforces.

*** end quote ***

Now I realize that this is “anecdotal evidence” and that one User’s story is not dispositive, it certainly seems to corroborate the currently going round Conspiracy Theory that the Covid-19 Vaccine is setting off “turbo cancers” (i.e., quickly occurring or reoccurring cancers that kill faster than one would expect).

Is there a deliberate undercount of the situation?  

I have no idea but it seems plausible given the politics and money involved.

Shocking Finding: Life Expectancy Continues to Plummet
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  •     Provisional estimates and finalized reports reveal a significant decline in American life expectancy with young adults bearing the brunt of excess deaths
  •     The gender life expectancy gap in the U.S. has reached its widest point since 1996, primarily driven by COVID-19 and the opioid crisis, highlighting systemic issues in health care and societal structures
  •     Contrary to historical trends, the burden of death now falls disproportionately on young and working-aged Americans, prompting concerns about the underlying causes and the absence of a public health response
  •     Amidst censorship and controversy, there’s a growing call for a thorough investigation into pandemic management, including lockdowns, treatment protocols and vaccine deployment, to understand the root causes of excess deaths
  •     The need for a new approach to global health is underscored by the current crisis, with emphasis on addressing health disparities and reconnecting with consciousness, as advocated in my forthcoming book, “The Power of Choice”

As it turns out, one of the biggest news stories of 2023 never made the headlines, which is understandable considering its implications. The world is now grappling with the aftermath of a global crisis that, thanks to the sophisticated and meticulously engineered brainwashing strategies deployed by government and mass media, are unbeknownst to the masses.

I wonder if the Life Insurance Industry has noticed and adjusted their tables?

DISCOURAGING: Will SCOTUS reign in “Javert” Jack Smith

Jack Smith Will Annoy the Supreme Court
By Sean Ross Callaghan 

*** begin quote ***

A unanimous Supreme Court should restore the federal courts’ reputation by denouncing “Javert” Jack Smith and his jurisprudence of jihad and announcing that it will take all due time to consider presidential immunity from criminal prosecution and to craft an opinion to stand the test of time, the timing of the election be damned.

*** end quote ***

One can only hope that SCOTUS or some other fair-minded judge puts a HARD STOP to this “law fare”!

DISCOURAGING: Gooferment Skrules are a national disgrace

School Where Just 4% of Students Are Proficient in Math and 12% in English Spent $250K on ‘Woke Kindergarten’ Program

Alice Wright, Daily Mail, February 4, 2024

*** begin quote ***

A Bay Area Elementary School has spent $250,000 on a ‘Woke Kindergarten’ program only to see its student’s literacy and numeracy rates plunge.

The ‘Woke Kindergarten’ program states its mission as an ‘abolitionist early learning ecosystem’ that trains teachers to uproot white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression which are barriers to learning.

After spending the federal money on the program Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward saw numeracy among its 474 students fall to a new low of just 4 percent and literacy just 12 percent.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment Skrules are to produce cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.

DISCOURAGING: Ex-Rabbi buys Pornub and is proud of it

Sunday, February 11, 2024

Ex-Rabbi Co-founder of a private equity firm explains why he acquired Pornhub
By M Dowling – December 29, 2023

*** begin quote ***

So, it’s for money, the tools, and mainstreaming porn? Didn’t Sodom and Gomorrah happen because this stuff went mainstream?

Correction: Mr. Friedman is only a partial owner. The headline was changed to clarify. Also, he rejected the teachings as a rabbi.

*** end quote ***

I’m sure his parents are very proud of him.  Special “ring of hell” should be reserved for him.

Makes me sad to see such “news”.
