Wrightsville Beach renourishment project uncovers hundreds of thousands of tires in the ocean

Wrightsville Beach, N.C. — The shrinking shoreline at Wrightsville Beach is in desperate need of sand.

“We can’t get our ocean rescue vehicles from point A to point B in some places, because there’s just not enough beach,” Mayor Darryl Mills said.

Rebuilding that usually happens every three years is behind schedule. Officials said they have faced numerous challenges since the beach was last filled with fresh sand in 2018.

Wrightsville Beach has sourced its sand from nearby Masonboro Inlet since the 1960s, but a new interpretation of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA), dictates that no federal dollars can be used to move sand from a CBRA-protected zone (Masonboro Inlet) to a non-CBRA zone (Wrightsville Beach). Wrightsville Beach’s renourishment is 100% federally-funded, according to local records.

*** and ***

The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) said it placed more than 600,000 tires off the North Carolina coast in the 1970s and early 1980s, but said it discontinued the practice in 1983.

“We don’t know the exact number of tires that were deployed back then,” said Patricia Smith, the Communications Director for the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. “Basically, the Division just doesn’t have reliable deployment records from that period.”

The artificial reef closest to the potential sand harvest location for Wrightsville Beach is called the Meares Harris Reef, located about 2.5 miles offshore and spanning 649 acres. That site includes other artificial reefs made of concrete pipes and tugboats that serve as fish habitats, but the aging tires are proving to be problematic.

*** end quote ***

I guess the artificial reef project wasn’t well thought out.  And the Gooferment only has itself to blame.  Of course, the Taxpayers pay for the mistake.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Make poor children pay for their own misery?

Friday, July 29, 2022

California Divide
California counties siphon Social Security benefits from some foster kids
by Jeanne Kuang July 22, 2022

*** begin quote ***

California counties regularly take the Social Security benefits of foster youth who are disabled or whose parents have died. Advocates say it amounts to children paying for their own foster care.

*** and ***

Tanner said Butte County, as her guardian, took her survivor benefits of about $1,200 a month until she graduated high school and was no longer eligible for them. The money likely totaled tens of thousands of dollars over her time in state custody.

*** end quote ***

Ribbing the dead and little defenseless children is what the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats do best.

This is the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah, but I bet it happens everywhere.

Vile thieves.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Protectionism — Gooferment picks winners and losers — guess which group you’re in?

Thursday, July 28, 2022

FROM “Cafe Hayek”: Gary Galles helps us to better understand protectionism. 

https://www.aier.org/article/helping-yall-understand-protectionism/

Helping Y’all Understand Protectionism
Gary M. Galles – July 22, 2022 

*** begin quote ***

Protectionism provides special treatment for political favorites at the expense of others’ rights and well-being. In fact, it harms all American consumers not given special protection, by removing options they chose for themselves (as illustrated by the fact that undoing protectionist policies could lower prices paid by Americans at a time when rapid inflation is supposedly political topic number one), yet it persists.

*** end quote ***

Not only does it harm “others”; it trains “We, The Sheeple” that they can use Gooferment to live off other’s productivity.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Secret Service ignore the records retention requirements; I wonder why?

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

https://www.allsides.com/story/scrutiny-secret-service-builds-over-lost-jan-6-texts?utm_source=AllSides+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=39b675b1fa-Balanced+News+Today&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b086ce741-39b675b1fa-128466237

Scrutiny of Secret Service Builds Over Lost Jan. 6 Texts

The Secret Service is being pressed about missing text messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021. The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general gave the Secret Service a deadline of Tuesday to review the text messages of 24 specific employees for material relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — a request that turned up only one new text conversation. The Secret Service says that the majority of the texts in question were deleted as part of a pre-planned “device-replacement program” at the agency. The deletion reportedly came after the IG had requested electronic communications records…

Convent how the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats don’t have to follow their own laws and regulations. 

Now tell me that their carrier (AT&T, Verizon, somebody) doesn’t have copies of those texts?

I thing their Head IT honcho should be immediately fired.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Biden to allow abortions by executive diktat?

Monday, July 25, 2022

Who Knew That The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Protects A Right To Abortion?
The Biden Administration is about to walk into another eviction moratorium debacle.
Josh Blackman | 7.19.2022 11:15 PM

*** begin quote ***

Politico reports that the Biden Administration has potentially settled on an executive-action response to Dobbs:

White House officials plotting the administration’s post-Roe response are weighing a narrow public health directive aimed at safeguarding nationwide access to abortion pills, three people familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

The Biden team has zeroed in on that authority in recent days. They consider it the most feasible of the White House’s limited options for protecting abortion rights, and have concluded that it could have the most immediate on-the-ground impact while also quelling Democrats’ demands for stronger action. . . .

The proposal would rely on powers under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act reserved for public health emergencies to shield doctors, pharmacies and others from liability for providing abortion pills to people across the country — even those who live in states that have outlawed or severely restricted the procedure. .

*** end quote ***

Seems like this is a transparent attempt to circumvent overturn of Roe by executive diktat.

I would assume that SCOTUS would quickly take cases to set things straight.

And Red-State governors would “nullify” the Federal diktats.

Sigh!

Not like we have an real problems to work on like inflation and the backfiring of Russian sanctions.

Argh!

Secret Service DELETED texts from Jan 5 and Jan 6, Homeland Security’s Inspector General reveals amid its internal probe

  • The DHS watchdog sent a letter to the Homeland Security committees in the House and the Senate on Wednesday
  • ‘Many’ text messages between the US Secret Service were deleted after the watchdog made a request for electronic communications, the letter states
  • The Homeland Security Inspector General requested them as part of his office’s investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol

*** begin quote ***

‘Many’ US Secret Service text messages written between January 5 and January 6 last year have been deleted, the Homeland Security Inspector General said in a stunning letter on Thursday. The messages were allegedly erased after the inspector general’s office asked the law enforcement office for electronic communications as part of its probe into the US Capitol attack. The letter, first obtained by CNN, is addressed to the top members of the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees. It states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told its watchdog the messages were deleted ‘as part of a device-replacement program.’ The inspector general also accuses DHS employees of stonewalling requests for information until they were reviewed by the department’s lawyers. ‘This review led to weeks-long delays in [the inspector general’s office] obtaining records and created confusion over whether all records had been produced,’ the letter states.

Isn’t that convenient?

Who is getting charged or fire over the failure to retain Gooferment records?

I’d fire everyone in charge.

But then that’s how it’s done on Wall Street!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How to resist tyranny? The Paperclip!

Thursday, July 14, 2022

The Paperclip Was Used As a Symbol of Resistance During World War II
September 9, 2013 Emily Upton

*** begin quote ***

  • The Norwegians found other ways to resist the Nazis, too. 12,000 of the teachers who were told to teach Nazism went on strike. 1000 of them were deported and sent to prison camps immediately, but after six months the remaining educators hadn’t relented, and the Nazis gave it up as a lost cause—having teachers out of the classroom was more detrimental to the war effort than having them in classrooms, but not teaching Nazi party ideals.
  • Similarly, the churches that were told to teach “obedience to the leader and the state” found themselves in desperate need of people to lead church services. Every bishop in Norway resigned, along with 90% of the clergy. The humiliated German soldiers were forced to rescind the doctrine—another win for Norway.
  • Meanwhile, the general public of Norway were waging a silent war of their own. In addition to donning paperclips, they made life difficult for the German soldiers in various subtle ways. Many of them refused to speak German, even though it was a widely known language at the time, and would point the soldiers in the wrong direction when telling them how to get from point A to point B. They refused to sit beside German soldiers when they rode on public transportation—an act of defiance that enraged the Germans so much that they made it illegal to stand on the bus if there were seats open.
  • An illegal press was established in order to keep everyone informed after the Nazis attempted to cut Norway off from the BBC. When the German military began to conscript young men into the army, thousands fled to neighbouring Sweden to escape service. The Germans promptly withheld ration cards from those who didn’t sign up—at which point the resistance stole some 150,000 ration cards, and the military was forced to stop their efforts on that front.
  • As for the Norwegian Jews, although 700 were shipped to Auschwitz, the remainder—1000 or more—were smuggled into Sweden by the resistance, which was no small accomplishment.
  • Germany occupied Norway until the end of the war. Around 40,000 Norwegians were imprisoned during the interim, and over 10,000 lost their lives. Another 40,000 or so had escaped to Sweden and slowly began returning home when the Germans began to leave.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Agree — let’s cut off any and all tax dollars from this dumpster fire of a news outlet (i.e., NPR)

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

https://www.facebook.com/phil.magness/posts/pfbid02GgNJtrUQ41cN6jNfcCWvkbD7LnkETsfAyqYWeaKauJ2mpGuN4e6ReuhCZvrYpDAAl

*** begin quote ***

Phil Magness writes sensibly on his Facebook page:

I was never a fan of Abenomics for reasons that are probably not hard to deduce. That said, it’s useful to contrast NPR’s depiction of Shinzo Abe’s legacy in their assassination coverage (“divisive,” “ultranationalist”) with NPR’s generally reverential obituary for Fidel Castro, which buried any hint that he was a mass-murdering Marxist autocrat to the bottom of the article and even cast it as a “debated” part of his legacy.

It’s long past time to cut off any and all tax dollars from this dumpster fire of a news outlet.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Shut down the U.S. Department of Education

We Should Immediately End Nationalized Funding of Student Tuition
By Jerome Corsi

*** begin quote ***

On March 30, 2010, Obama signed the Health Care and Education Act charging the U.S. Department of Education to make 100 percent of all government-funded college loans, effective on July 1 of that year. In 2010, student loan debt totaled $760 billion. In 2022, the total outstanding student loan debt will more than double to a record $1.7 trillion. In 2017, a study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concluded that “more federal aid to students enables colleges to raise tuition more.” Raising U.S. higher education tuition costs to a level middle-class families cannot afford is not a problem as long as the government makes the taxpayer pay the price.

*** end quote ***

It’s Unconstitutional for starters.

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

We once criticized Communist countries for their indoctrination camps; failing to recognize that the Gooferment Skrules here are the same thing.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Does the Gooferment have a duty when they “steal” something?

Saturday, June 25, 2022

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/23/dc-woman-leaves-town-help-mother-returns-home-dest/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

D.C. woman leaves town to help mother, returns home to destroyed Jeep
By Matt Delaney – The Washington Times – Thursday, June 23, 2022

*** begin quote ***

A D.C. resident received an unwelcome surprise when she returned home after spending months away: her Jeep had been destroyed.

Susan Hekhuis left the area at the end of February to take care of her elderly mother, who had broken her leg. But when Ms. Hekhuis sent a friend to check on her Jeep a few weeks ago, that’s when her sorry tale began, Washington NBC TV affiliate WRC-4 reported.

“There I am trying to take care of my mom and do my job and take care of a million other things, and the last thing on my mind was that you towed my car and destroyed it,” she said.

News4 reported that D.C.’s Department of Public Works had towed Ms. Hekhuis’ vehicle from its original spot on Calvert Street NW since it was along the Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon route.

The only problem is that the Jeep was towed to Connecticut Avenue NW, where street parking isn’t allowed during rush hour. The car racked up five tickets in two weeks, causing it to get towed again, this time to DPW’s impound lot in Blue Plains.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like the D.C.’s Department of Public Works owes her a new car and an apology.

When they towed her car, doesn’t that mean they have a duty to protect that asset until it’s returned to its rightful owner.

Sounds like a Fifth Amendment claim.

Argh!

Federal court again rules against Biden on immigration, says can’t release illegals into U.S.

By The Center Square Staff
By Bethany Blankley
Updated: June 12, 2022 – 7:07pm

“The Biden Administration is refusing to take custody of criminal aliens despite federal statutes requiring it to do so. Instead, Defendants have issued and implemented unlawful agency memoranda that allow criminal aliens already convicted of felony offenses to roam free in the United States. Such aliens belong in federal custody, as Congress required,” they maintain.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Lyndon B. Johnson supressed African-American society with Gooferment “help”

Monday, June 20, 2022

https://palexander.substack.com/p/great-society-lyndon-b-johnson-in?s=r

‘GREAT SOCIETY’; Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, this was the greatest devastation, wrong doing on the African-American society, it ‘broke’ them, damaged them; 100 years post slavery 1865 ending…

  • From 1865-1965, 100 years, African-Americans were on their way up and out, doing tremendously well, only 1 in 4 homes was a single parent; then Lyndon’s program ‘helping’, destroyed them

Dr. Paul Alexander
Jun 8

*** begin quote ***

‘Hollowed’ out African-Americans, cavitated the society, and did it under the guise of ‘doing good by you’. It is an incredible situation.

The truth is, African-Americans were outpacing whites even, based on pure hard work, skill, drive, capability, for the 1st 100 years post abolishment of slavery, 1865 to 1965. With nothing other than pure hard work. Love of America, its flag, using its customs and deep faith and love of family as its glue and fuel. The Great Society in 1965 then functioned to degrade everything that held Black America together as a coherent peoples who were ‘making’ it without any government intervention or help. Making it on their own strength.

*** end quote ***

“If the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wanted to sabotage black academic excellence, he could not find a more effective means to do so than the government school system in most cities.” — Walter Williams’s May 6th, 2010

I can testify to the destructiveness of LBJ’s “help”.  We are now witnessing the fourth generation of “welfare farmers”.  I see poor white and black welfare recipients being “held down by the Man”. Argh!

Parochial education is destroyed.  Family values are denigrated.  Churches are a hollow shell of what they once were.

We need to free the children — all the children — from the tyranny of Gooferment Skrules.

Remember the current “education system” was created by the Prussians to create cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite. Ask where the elite send their children to be educated?  With the notable exception on Amy Carter, it ain’t to Gooferment Skrules.

Let’s start SEPARATING the Gooferment from running things.  Starting with schools.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Surveillance Partnerships allows the Gooferment to slip its restraints

Sunday, June 19, 2022

Fusion Centers: A Dangerous Surveillance Partnership
By: jprivate|Published on: Apr 8, 2022|Categories: Surveillance

*** begin quote ***

A damning report on the Maine Information Analysis Center (MIAC) or Fusion Center, reveals just how intertwined corporate and government surveillance of the public has become.

Fusion centers are notoriously secretive about public surveillance and what little we know can be summed up thusly: “official secrecy, moreover, cloaks fusion centers, so what little public information is available on a particular fusion center rarely provides much detail on its unique profile.”

The MIAC Shadow Report reveals how law enforcement goes out of their way to hide who’s actually in charge of public surveillance and is preoccupied with people committing conventional crimes.

The report begins by revealing what many of us already knew or suspected; fusion centers have been and continue to surveil protesters and activists.

“Fusion centers are the nerve system of mass criminalization” the report warns. A major concern of the authors is how fusion centers use private corporations to conduct secret facial recognition and social media surveillance of ‘people of interest’ and warns that self-governing fusion centers are fraught with peril.

Despite there being a statewide ban on using facial recognition to ID innocent people, in Maine, there is evidence MIAC uses data brokers to do an end-run around privacy bans.

Containing Gooferment bureaucrats is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.

This threat to our liberty needs to be addressed but the politicians and bureaucrats like it this way just fine.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Who “owns” property? Us or the Gooferment?

NJ Nursery Closes After 100 Years, Affordable Housing Will Replace It

  • The plant nursery, which has been a staple to this town for over a century, will soon shut down. A big housing project will take its place.

Remy Samuels,
Patch Staff
Posted Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 12:33 pm ET
Williams Nursery is located at 524 Springfield Ave in Westfield.

*** begin quote ***

WESTFIELD, NJ — Now slated to be the location of an affordable housing complex, Williams Nursery in Westfield announced they will soon be closing for good, after serving the community for over a century.

The family-owned plant nursery’s last day will be July 3, according to a lengthy Facebook post, signed by the Williams and Jackson families who own the garden. They wrote that shutting down a business that is 102 years old is “a difficult thing.”

“There have been countless wonderful customers that have passed through our doors,” the owners wrote on Facebook. “We are going to miss sharing the smiles, and chats. We know that some of you used our store as an oasis in a bump in your lives. We are grateful that we got to help smooth the edges of those bumps.”

*** and ***

Brindle said the Williams Nursery has been zoned for affordable housing since the 1990s, and this project will help Westfield meet its state-mandated affordable housing obligations.

Brindle explained that the Williams Nursery cannot be repurposed for another use, even for green space, because any property previously zoned for affordable housing must either:

Maintain its current use; or Be developed into inclusionary multi-family housing once the owner chooses to sell.

Unless buyers pay fair market value and are willing to maintain the property as a nursery, Brindle said the property must be sold and developed for the purpose of affordable housing.

*** end quote ***

Sorry but the Gooferment, of all levels, is out of control. Do this! Don’t do that! IF it’s YOURS, unless we say so.

“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes

What If? Questions a Bipartisan Probe of Jan. 6 Might Have Answered
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / June 09, 2022

*** begin quote ***

A bipartisan investigation of the Capitol riot would dig into the security breakdown and not ignore questions that didn’t conform to a Democrat Party narrative, said Rep. Jim Banks, whose appointment to a select committee was blocked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“If I were ranking member of the committee, we would be asking the tough questions that Pelosi doesn’t want the committee to ask, because she’s responsible but she hasn’t been held accountable for the security failures at the Capitol and [on] Jan. 6,” Banks, R-Ind., told The Daily Signal.

“The more we learn, the more we realize that there were serious security failures at the Capitol, and why doesn’t this committee want to dig into that?” Banks added later. “They don’t want to dig into it because it deviates from their political narrative.”

What could be learned?

  • Who’s Roy Epps (the cheerleader to invade the Capitol)?  Was he an agent provocateur?
  • Who were those that entered (i.e., FBI agents, instigators, contractors?
  • What communications occurred within the Gooferment about the demonstration?
  • Why were the demonstrators waved into the building?
  • What are all the facts surrounding the killing of Ashley Babbit?
  • What was Nancy Pelosi’s role in the whole affair?

When we have an honest and open discussion of what REALLY happened, then it can be on Prime Time TV.  Otherwise it’s just more of the “Bagdad Bob” show!

Federal free lunch program ending for all schools
By Dan Rascon, KSL-TV | Posted – May 28, 2022 at 1:11 p.m.

*** begin quote ***

SALT LAKE CITY — Parents, listen up — no more free breakfasts or lunches for your kids. That’s because the federal government is ending its free breakfast and lunch program it started two years ago during the pandemic.

*** and ***

“It’s been a real blessing. I think during such a difficult time, to be able to provide meals, there’s one less thing to think about,” said Buddy Alger, principal at Heartland Elementary School.

But now, that’s all about to go away. The free breakfast and lunch program will end in just three months when school starts up again in August.

*** end quote ***

Interesting how there are billions for boondoggles but nothing for the USA’s children.

As a gun owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I don’t want Gooferment Skrules but, if they are to be, then let’s accomplish some good with them.  Like feeding children.  Like treating all children as equals.  Like using the stolen funds for at least some good.

  • Uvalde police are allowed to stop any additional 911 records or body cam footage during the school shooting from being released due to a “dead suspect loophole” law, according to a local reporter.

*** begin quote ***

Police may never have to fully account for what went wrong during the Uvalde school massacre, thanks to a quirk in Texas law.

The law, meant to protect people wrongly accused, says police agencies may not release their investigative files unless a person is convicted of a crime.

But when an accused criminal dies before they’re convicted, it enables police to withhold information, an award-winning Texas journalist said.

Dubbed the “dead suspect loophole,” the law has prevented families of those who die in police custody from learning about the circumstances of those deaths, said according to Tony Plohetski, an investigative reporter for the Austin American Statesman newspaper and KVUE.

Argh! 

Can we allow them to hide the evidence?

Personally, I’d fire them all!

Argh!

How do we incentivize better?  Privatize.

Timeline of a massacre: How events unfolded in Uvalde, Texas
11:32am Gunman arrives at the school after shooting his grandmother. She survived and called 911, telling them he had fled.

At the school the gunman encounters a school resource officer.

It’s unclear if he tried to shoot him but the gunman was able to make his way inside and barricades himself into a fourth grade classroom

11:43am: Robb Elementary School posts to Facebook that the campus has gone under lockdown due to gunshots in the area.

Parents rush to the scene

12.17pm: The school posts on Facebook that there is an ‘active shooter’ on campus

1.06pm:The Uvalde Police Department reports the suspect is ‘in police custody’ after police broke into the classroom.

By then, 150 cops had descended onto the scene but it took 90 minutes for them to get to the shooter and stop him

Shocking new video has emerged showing Texas cops restraining parents as they tried to rescue their kids on Tuesday after a gunman unleashed terror inside the elementary school, as questions grow over why it took so long to get to the shooter after the first 911 call.

Salvador Ramos, 18, arrived at the school in Uvalde at 11.30am, crashing his car into a ditch.

A school resource officer was at the scene but he failed to stop him from making his way inside.

Two other cops also rushed to the school at that time – Ramos had just shot his grandmother in the face at their home less than five miles away. She survived and called the police.

When they arrived, Ramos is said to have shot at them then ran into the school, where he barricaded himself in the fourth grade classroom and shot 19 kids and two teachers dead.

It took another 90 minutes from that point for police to declare the shooting over.

*** end quote ***

The “fog of war” seems to have begun to clear.

I’d like to read an “after action report”.  Seriously, “waited to find a key” sounds like “the dog ate my homework”.

I still am waiting to hear if the young criminal was on SSRIs. 

In any event, why was it so easy to get into the school. And, I thought that Texas was one of the States that armed teachers. 

The “school resource officer” was not very helpful.  

As painful as it will be to the parents, I hope someone is seriously looking at the video and taking note what could be dome NOW to prevent the next copy cat.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: DoD “knew” about COVID-19 three months early?

Thursday, May 26, 2022

https://thefreethoughtproject.com/d-o-d-issued-a-contract-for-covid-19-research-in-ukraine-3-months-before-covid-19-officially-existed/

D.O.D Issued a Contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine 3 Months Before COVID-19 Officially Existed
Matt Agorist May 20, 2022

*** begin quote *** 

( THE EXPOSÉ) — The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia-like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease Covid-19.

So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?

The shocking findings, however, do not end there. The contract awarded in November 2019 for ‘COVID-19 Research’ was not only instructed
to take place in Ukraine, it was in fact part of a much larger contract for a ‘Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine’.

Perhaps explaining why Labyrinth Global Health has been collaborating with Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, and Ernest Wolfe’s Metabiota
since its formation in 2017.

*** end quote ***

How is this possible?

This opens up a whole new line Conspiracy Theories.

Like maybe this was a plandemic or a bio-war weapon?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: When do the (Nuremberg) trials begin?

“NIH director confirms agency hid early COVID genes at request of Chinese scientists”; so what else did the NIH hide? We know full well the CDC hides data from the public all the time; INVESTIGATE

  • I agreed with the view in DC among administration, POTUS Trump was going to take CDC and NIH and FDA down to the very studs, he was going to fix it ONCE and for all; firing the corrupted officials

Dr. Paul Alexander

*** begin quote *** 
 
The alphabet health agencies in the US, the CDC, NIH, FDA, NIAID…all all corrupted political entities…they ‘used’ to do the public’s good, today,
they are an arm of the government, and I argue both sides, but they worked as a quartet to undermine Trump and damage him, DAILY…there is no question about that. And the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Bourla of Pfizer, Bancel of Moderna, Fauci of NIAID, and Francis Collins of
NIH…these 4 must be taken into a courtroom and drilled and if we find they did wrong, only if we find they did wrong, we clean them out of
every damn cent, every penny, penniless, walking the streets barefoot and shorts, ONLY, we punish any beast, any beast, who was reckless and
caused deaths in COVID when they knew the right thing and had the right data…

*** end quote ***

It’s clear to me that the “alphabet health agencies” need to be closed down.

All the personnel must be terminated with prejudice from future Gooferment employment.

The ringleaders should be prosecuted.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Let’s install “wrong way” prevention devices on major highways

Saturday, May 14, 2022

https://nypost.com/2022/05/07/north-carolina-trooper-cody-thao-uses-own-car-to-stop-suspected-drunk-driver-joshua-bibey/

North Carolina trooper uses his own car to stop suspected drunk driver
By Lorraine Taylor, Fox News

*** begin quote ***

A North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper is being credited for saving lives by putting his own life on the line to stop a suspected drunk driver from entering an interstate going the wrong way.

North Carolina State Highway Patrol said Trooper Cody Thao used his own patrol car as a barrier to stop the driver who was speeding up an exit ramp the wrong way. The dramatic crash was caught on dashcam video.

Police said Trooper Thao was called in to help with a pursuit in the early morning hours of April 8. Just as the trooper arrived, the pursuit arrived onto the I-40 eastbound ramp to Rock Quarry Road in Wake County. The suspect started driving the wrong way on the ramp.

The video shows Trooper Thao intentionally drive his own car into the path of the suspected drunk driver to stop him from entering the interstate going the wrong way. Amazingly, the trooper was not injured.

“I could not be prouder of Trp. Thao and his quick decision to stop the wrong way driver, his actions most undoubtedly saved lives,” Colonel Freddy L. Johnson, Jr., commander of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, said in a statement. “His willingness to put himself in harm’s way is representative of the lifesaving work our members do each day. Placing others before ourselves is not just a saying amongst the law enforcement profession, it’s a reality of what we do for the betterment of the communities we serve.”

*** end quote ***

This inspires three points:

FIRST, kudos to the trooper who risked his life to save others.  No doubt not doing this pretty much would ensure a potential catastrophic accident.

SECOND, my continued harping on why we down engineer roads to prevent this from happening.  Parking lot owners have devices that will shred tires if you back up over them or exit the wrong way.  Why can’t we deploy these on interstates?

THIRD, DUIs that are not “Micky Mouse” — over a numerical limit at a checkpoint, please — but damage property, hurt some one, or (Heaven Forbid) kill some one need to be SEVERELY punished.  No “first time” discount for that type of DUI,

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Dump the UN and all its corrupt politicians and bureaucrats

Friday, May 13, 2022

https://palexander.substack.com/p/dr-peter-breggin-md-and-ginger-ross?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0MTQyNTAzMCwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTM3NTI0MDcsIl8iOiJxcXFsMiIsImlhdCI6MTY1MTg2MDE3NiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxODYzNzc2LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNTc5MzU2Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.B7kijfZgB7qXav44U6Ja5l_0fte42IqEE7oTlRlvrdQ&s=r

Dr. Peter Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin’s paper: “Biden Handing Over U.S. Sovereignty to WHO”, very potent & showing us what we are up against; TRUMP must evict UN out of New York, get out of WHO

  • Either DeSantis or Trump, the United States must get out of WHO as soon as they can and make law in the congress, and evict UN, a fraud inept corrupted agency out of New York, FIRE WHO

Dr. Paul Alexander

*** begin quote ***
 
Biden et al. are selling us down the river and we have to act at the polls in November and in 2 years. We handle business at the polls and this time we do it properly. Complete.

The time has come to get out of World Health Organization fully and IMO the UN, end funding and stop all payments.

‘The proposed amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR) give unlimited powers to Tedros to declare health
emergencies without the cooperation and against the will of the target nation, essentially overriding its sovereignty.  If the nation does not
cooperate in 48 hours, Tedros is then empowered to contact and unleash all relevant nations and agencies both at the UN and worldwide by
informing them of its finding.  This could lead to shaming and ostracizing the target nation, and subject it to potential political, economic, and financial sanctions from these groups.

The Director General can do this on the basis of mere suspicion of a “potential” public health emergency possibly affecting at least one other country, without consulting with the target nation and even in despite resistance from the nation, and without defining the nature or source of the
problem.’

*** end quote ***

I have thought for a long time that the UN is corrupt and had demonstrable failed at its purpose.  Time for the USA to turn inward to solve our own problems without “entangling alliances” like the Dead Old White Guys wanted.  Be more like Switzerland in mining our own very strict national interests.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Pfizer … who do we jail first?

Sunday, May 8, 2022

https://palexander.substack.com/p/pcr-test-fraud-and-how-pfizer-used?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0MTQyNTAzMCwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTM0NDEyMzUsIl8iOiI3aHB6OCIsImlhdCI6MTY1MTcwMzA2MiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxNzA2NjYyLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNTc5MzU2Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.dJwRUjSy5D00q3FiDwZXCBVEuffm-2aCICdpSk0XfZM&s=r

PCR test fraud & how Pfizer used this sensitive ‘over-cycled’ test with a 97% false-positive rate to defraud the US & the world, to work with FDA
to get EUA based on 8 vaccine and 162 placebo events

  • What evidence does Jaafar and Bullard give us to devastate this PCR fraud these? What did we know yet disregard? What evidence did the CDC and FDA pretend not to exist on PCR false-positives?

Dr. Paul Alexander

*** begin quote ***
 
That Pfizer went to FDA with 170 events in total, 162 placebo control group and 8 in the intervention group, to get a FDA authorized EUA for a
safety untested vaccine for hundreds of millions if not billions globally, that we know today is ineffective and harmful, deadly…who do we jail first? That really is the question…who do we jail first? That they would unblind the studies knowing we would never then be able to get the efficacy/effectiveness and harms data ‘in the future’, at any time as now the placebo got the intervention. These really are academic scientific frauds.

What did Jaafar and Bullard warn us about as to the fraud over-cycled PCR test? Why has Pfizer not explained the specifics on the PCR testing in their trial?

*** end quote ***

Does anyone really think that this fraud will result in ANYONE going to jail?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “SALT” in our wounds

Friday, April 29, 2022

Supreme Court Definitively Ends the SALT Tax Deduction Case

  • The highly dubious lawsuit filed by four blue states against the the law capping federal tax deductions for state and local taxes is now truly dead in the water.

Ilya Somin | 4.18.2022 8:26 PM

*** begin quote ***

As Jonathan Adler points out, today the Supreme Court refused to review a lower-court decision upholding the 2017 tax law’s caps on the federal tax deduction for state and local taxes. The law, enacted by a GOP-controlled Congress, limits this $10,000 for individual taxpayers and married couples filing jointly, and $5000 for married people filing separately.  Jonathan rightly notes that the case never had much merit, which is why it was uniformly rejected by the lower-court judges who considered it (all of them Democratic appointees).

I have followed this case from its inception. The claims the plaintiffs raised about coercion, the Tenth Amendment, and other issues, are important for anyone who follows constitutional federalism issues, and would have set a dangerous new precedent had they succeeded. Here is a list of my posts about it.

*** end quote ***

While I am far from “rich”, having real estate in a “blue state”, I’m impacted by SALT.

i object to the entire concept of the “federal income tax”. The Dead Old White Guys must be rolling over when SCOTUS affirms the income tax and all the host of other confiscatory taxes that the central Gooferment levies on the people.

“We, The Sheeple” are just stupid cowards. The Revolution was fought over the King’s taxes which were a fraction of what we pay today. If the Blue States really had their acts togeter, they’d secede from the Union. If the Red States really had their acts togeter, they’d secede from the Union. There is NO reason to allow Washington to run our lives with one size fits all Gooferment policies.

Time has come for everyone to go their separate ways.

“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes

We should trade for local tyrants, as opposed to Washington DC tyrants, because we MIGHT be able to convince the locals.  If not, it’s not a far drive to bring the torches and pitchforks.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Never trust any national government

Thursday, April 28, 2022

https://survivalblog.com/2022/04/26/preparedness-notes-tuesday-april-26-2022/

*** begin quote ***

On April 26, 1986, one of the world’s worst nuclear accidents occurred at the Chernobyl plant in the Ukrainian portion of the USSR. An explosion and fire in the No. 4 reactor sent radioactivity into the atmosphere; at least 31 Soviets died immediately. JWR’s Comments: I was unfortunately a Chernobyl down-winder. You see, I was TDY with the 2nd M.I. Battalion at Stuttgart Army Airfield that spring, working live Guardrail intel missions. After the Soviet reactor went kablooey, we were all lied to by both the West German government and the U.S. Army. They later revealed that they had downplayed the radiation risk, “to avoid panic.” So, at the time when the winds were unfavorable and I should have been safely tucked in a bunker, I was instead out riding my bicycle in the fallout. (I commuted by bike a couple of miles from a gasthaus in Echterdingen to Stuttgart Army Airfield.) The only fallout warning that they gave us was to avoid fresh dairy products. Lesson learned: Never trust any national government to have your best interest as their priority.

*** end quote ***

I think the track record of Gooferments in general is so poor when you evaluate your best interest as their priority.

Remember: Agent Orange poisoning future generations of veterans?  I know one GI who lost two children to strange diseases with astronomical rarity.  It’s Tuskegee writ large.
