Domestic Violence Survivors Speak Out Against Gun Control
By Tom Knighton | 8:29 AM on December 19, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Shirley Watral, the state director of the Florida Women For Gun Rights Organization, is a domestic violence survivor and professional firearms instructor. In the hearing, she shared how her views on gun ownership changed after how the man she was in love with kidnapped her and tortured her for 15 hours (via Judiciary.House.gov):

    Attempts I made to escape were met with beatings. I was no match for his size and strength. I was forced to stay seated or kneeling on the floor of the master bedroom. As the hours went by, I found no way out. I thought my salvation came when he brought out a gun and set it on the bed. Hours prior to this, no one heard my screams or came to my rescue. I saw the gun as my way to freedom. I could either use it to defend myself or get a shot off that the neighbors would hear.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, I know Christmas Eve is supposed to be about the Prince of Peace’s birthday.

But, to the victims of Domestic Violence, it often brings out the worst.

Christmas, New Years, ad Superbowl Sunday are supposedly the worst for it.  

I only know that when there’s a lot of drinking that’s when the family ugliness comes out.

HEALTH: Is the risk of “died suddenly” the price for trusting COVID-19 “vaccines”?

Pro-Vaccine Journalist Who Called for Punishment For Refusing Jab Dies Suddenly
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Dec 16, 2023 – 06:30 PM
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

*** begin quote ***

A Canadian journalist who took strong positions in support of COVID-19 vaccines—including calling for vaccine passports and terminating police officers who refused the jab—has died suddenly.

*** end quote ***

Deep into the Big Pharma US Treasury raid, we learned that the word “vaccine” was redefined to include a bio-engineered weapons program.

Everyone, who disagreed, was labeled as “anti-vax”.  Despite that no one was refusing to take the polio (real) “vaccine”.  Nor were children not being given some of the OLD Traditional shots like DPT and measles.  And old {synonym for multiple instances of  flatulence} like me were taking Pneumonia and Shingle vaxes.  

No, the resistance was to these newfangled RNA “jabs” that were suspect.

Some of the suspicions were that politicians and bureaucrats, celebrities, and Big Executives were getting the distilled water or not getting jabbed at all.

(Remember Joe Biden’s shot on TV that was incorrectly administered?)

Don’t believe everything you hear and some of what you see.

ECONOMICS: Are EVs the modern day Edsel?

Thursday, December 21, 2023

https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2023/12/17/one-third-as-far/

One Third as Far
By Eric – December 17, 2023

*** begin quote ***

But the answer – after much study – probably has to do with people not wanting to buy used devices that don’t go very far and take very long to get going again. Particularly because the batteries that power these devices are used. And used batteries hold less charge – on their way to holding none. Rendering the device incapable of going at all. And the cost of replacing that battery with a new one to power the inert device is not “rather competitive.”

Scientific Americans says “The impact of the used EV market can’t be understated.” And that’s certainly true – as used and unwanted and so unsellable battery powered devices with wilting batteries accumulate and languish on used car lots all around the country – alongside the brand-new EVs that are accumulating and languishing on dealership lots all around the country.

Scientific American says nothing about the potential “impact” of this on the car industry. Or on the economy – that is to say, on all the people whose livelihoods depend in one way or another on the manufacture and sale of cars – after the car industry collapses as a result of being pushed, Soviet-style, to build as many battery-powered devices as can be shipped (but not sold) as the factories can churn out.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t make “economic” sense.  These “cars” are an ecological disaster when they are made, when they are used, and finally when they are junked.  I watch them on the road and they are “virtue signals” until they have to be plugged in.  Every once in a while, I see one with a dent and wonder when is it going to ignite.

Argh!

Turbulence Solutions to make ‘whole aviation industry turbulence-free’

  • Austrian startup Turbulence Solutions aims to eradicate turbulence for everything from light aircraft and air taxis to the largest commercial airliners.

Chris Young
Published: Dec 09, 2023 10:49 AM EST

With this in mind, the Turbulence Cancelling system could result in “up to 10 percent of fuel savings,” Galffy continued. If applied across the aviation industry, this could also lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

If I was Big AirTravel, then I’d be REAL interested in the money savings.  Passenger comfort isn’t the bottom line.

GOVERNACIDE: Elite Exemptions? “Let them eat cake” time around the world!

Tuesday, December 19, 2023

https://palexander.substack.com/p/breaking-in-new-zealand-foia-request?omnisendContactID=6488e46a9fc37a00185e5da1&utm_campaign=campaign%3A+PAUL+A+12%2F8+%28657095ae6269d76de086f868%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=omnisend

BREAKING in New Zealand, FOIA request showed that 11,000 politicians and elites got COVID vaccine exemptions, did not take it; how? they knew it was NOT needed & was harmful, BUT they forced you under threat of law and arrest to take it and now you and many are vaccine injured! so how do we investigate, put into legal tribunals and take their money and imprison and HANG them if shown guilty? HANG!
Dr. Paul Alexander
Dec 5, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Elite Exemptions: Power Over the People!  

In the current trend of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the 1% is exempt. They are exempt from their own rules and marketing ploys. The continued facade of doing good for All, with policies, programs, and new ideations on society, only truly benefits the elite groups. Policies and programs that wind up hurting – us and helping – them. 

These kind of operations are a complete FARCE and Americans pay in every way!

New FOIA requests from New Zealand are showing the writing on the wall: The COVID-19 vaccination program exempted thousands of government officials and elites from taking them. In America, the FDA wants 55 years to process one of these requests. Please tell me WHY? In America and across the globe, they have taken life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness away from everyday citizens. They took licenses away from stellar physicians, closed small businesses, instigated riots and division, jailed people for not wearing masks and mercilessly allowed people to die. They enabled strong-armed fear tactics that promoted submission while they smiled in our faces, all the while knowing exactly what they were doing. NOT for the greater good. 

They should not be trusted.

The sheer evilness of these antics are clear as day; say and do anything to generate profit even if it completely destroys others. The unwitting and innocent lined up with absolute trust in these officials. Many corrupt spokespersons for the corrupt media. Always, always follow the money. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion aren’t part of this plan from the elitist caste system. They are of their own kind, using their homogenous class to keep us riddled with illness, fear, doubt, subservience and obedience. 

Don’t eat from their hands.

Continue to move forth in your sovereignty and empower yourself with supplies, medications, protection, and the truth.

*** end quote ***

What a coincidence?  

Sorry but there have been rumors that in the USA politicians like Old Befuddled Joe got saline injections purporting to be covid jabs.  Of course, all these reports were dismissed as “Conspiracy Theories”.  Now we have evidence that at least in New Zealand, the “elite” were exempt.  Fair to ask: who, why, and how?

Why don’t we have an equivalent disclosure in the USA?

Personally, I wouldn’t trust anyone shilling for big Pharma.  That especially include politicians, bureaucrats, and “celebrities”.  How much was Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s now popular beau, paid and what was he given in the advertised shot?  “Travis Kelce does vaccine ad, tells public they can get COVID, flu vaccines at same time“

Inquiring minds would like to know!

Getting help where it’s needed

In an emergency, being able to tell 911 call handlers precisely where to send help is vital – but this can be difficult when you’re out in rural areas or in an unfamiliar part of the city. A what3words address helps you to communicate any exact location easily and efficiently, no matter where you are. This means emergency responders will know exactly where to go, accurate to a 10ft square. Watch as the City of Austin Police Department put it to the test with Inside Edition.

Emergency service departments across Texas and the wider US are using what3words to find people faster and improve response times. You can read the full list of services using it and some of the incredible stories that have involved what3words.

Liberal San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston blames capitalism for city’s sprawling homeless problem and says it’s ‘counterproductive’ to arrest people openly doing illegal drugs in public

  •     Supervisor Dean Preston has blamed capitalism for the city’s homeless problem
  •     He said he doesn’t believe arresting those that do drugs in public is productive
  •     Preston is the supervisor for the Tenderloin District where a majority of the homeless and drug-ridden population reside 

By Emma Richter For Dailymail.Com
Published: 02:11 EST, 12 December 2023 | Updated: 03:21 EST, 12 December 2023

*** begin quote ***

A liberal San Francisco supervisor has blamed capitalism for the city’s sprawling homeless issue and said that it’s ‘counterproductive’ to arrest people openly doing drugs in public. 

Dean Preston, the Supervisor representing District 5, has also been very open about his support for the ‘defund the police’ movement. 

‘I think we have a very, very bloated police budget. All kinds of waste in the police department. I mean, I could cut a hundred million dollars out of the police department,’ he said in a recent clip shared online from the UnHerd documentary.

*** end quote ***

What we have in California is some type of socialism or fascism; certainly NOT capitalism.

 — Inigo Montoya from the 1987 romantic comedy film The Princess Bride.

Drug prohibition is certainly not “capitalism”.  

And, “defunding the police” means let criminals run wild robbing, killing, and terrorizing “We, The Sheeple”.

Think back to the Wild West, as long as you didn’t hurt someone, you were free to pursue your destiny.  But, “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

“The question isn’t who is going to let me: it’s who is going to stop me.” — Ayn Rand

The political class are the “parasite class of humans” (i.e., Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats, “scientist with agendas”, “celebrities”, the corporate press, Big Pharma, Big Tech).  All belong on the scrap bin of humanity

INSPIRATIONAL: Amazing but arduous cure for sickle cell disease

Saturday, December 16, 2023

FROM 1440 NEWS

*** begin quote ***

Sickle Cell Gene Therapy

The US Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a pair of gene therapy treatments for sickle cell disease, a group of inherited red blood cell disorders caused by mutations in a gene that produces an oxygen-carrying protein known as hemoglobin. One of the treatments, called Casgevy, is based on breakthrough CRISPR technology—a Nobel Prize-winning gene-editing tool (see 101, w/video)—and is the first approved gene-editing therapy in the US.

Codeveloped by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, Casgevy involves harvesting cells from a patient’s bone marrow, editing the cells in a lab using CRISPR technology, and inserting the modified cells back into the patient’s body. Read one man’s account of being among the first people to experience the CRISPR-based treatment here.

The second treatment, developed by Bluebird Bio and called Lyfgenia, uses a harmless virus to introduce a gene into a patient’s body to help produce a hemoglobin substitute. Both Casgevy and Lyfgenia have been approved for people 12 years and older. 

Sickle cell disease (see overview) affects more than 100,000 Americans per year and 20 million people worldwide. 

*** end quote ***

https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/04/1084209/vertex-exacel-approval-gene-editing-sickle-cell-disease-patient/

OPINION
I received the new gene-editing drug for sickle cell disease. It changed my life.

  • As a patient enrolled in a clinical trial for Vertex’s new exa-cel treatment, I was among the first to experience CRISPR’s transformative effects.

By     Jimi Olaghere
December 4, 2023

*** begin quote ***

The options for treating sickle cell disease are very limited. Denying access to such a powerful and transformative treatment based on someone’s ability to pay, or where they happen to live, strikes me as unethical. I believe patients and health-care providers everywhere deserve to know that the treatment will be available to those who need it.

*** end quote ***

Truly it was an arduous journey.

And, while it may be hard to understand, breakthroughs are expensive.  But as soon as they are made, the inventors and others work on making it available cheaply and easily.  Indoor plumbing, electric light, and automobiles quickly became available to the masses thanks to the “invisible hand” of the marketplace and the incentives af making a profit.

It would be better IMHO for him to focus on the Gooferment and its incestuous relationship with Big Pharma as the barrier to quicker progress.

NEWJERSEY: Because drug prohhibition wroks so well … …

New Jersey Senate panel approves penalties for underage drinkers

By: Nikita Biryukov – December 8, 2023 7:05 am

*** begin quote ***

A Senate panel approved a bill Thursday that would create new penalties for underage alcohol possession over the complaints of advocates who said the shift would send more young people into the criminal justice system.

The bill, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 9-2 vote, would subject individuals under the age of 21 found to possess alcohol to a $50 fine and a complaint summons, the equivalent of a disorderly persons offense.

Legislators who supported the bill said the change is needed to address parties in Jersey Shore towns that local officials have decried as chaotic and disruptive, and to provide some measure of enforcement for underage users who flout drinking laws.

*** end quote ***

Has anyone noticed how the drug laws are obeyed?  Remember Prohibition?  Wonder why the pot laws were changed?

Argh!

  •     Baseball fans were irate at the structure and that it was allowed to happen 

*** end quote ***

The Dodgers must have channeled their inner Bill Belichick.  This will get everyone’s shorts in a knot.  Especially the politicians and bureaucrats in the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah.  That’s a lot of money they can’t steal.  And it’s a big risk to take on the financial stability of the Dodgers and the future value of the USD.  Wonder what kind of Futures Contract he’s buying to protect it.

While I understand the motivations behind “stretching the rules”, it’s NOT without some significant risks IMHO.

It violates my favorite heuristic (rule of thumb; “common sense”; pov) that one should always “take the money and run”.  

It’s not beyond the imagination to conceive of the politicians and bureaucrats of the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah creating a special income tax rule for “deferred compensation”.  Watch for it!

AND, inflation AKA dollar depreciation is for SURE to erode that deferred wealth.

Hochul sets Feb. 13 House special election to replace NY’s George Santos
By Social Links for Vaughn Golden and Carl Campanile
Published Dec. 5, 2023, 6:14 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by expelled former Rep. George Santos will take place on Feb. 13, 2024, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday.

Hochul set the date for the vote in New York’s Third Congressional District one day after calling her former challenger, ex-Rep. Tom Suozzi, to the governor’s mansion in Albany to bend the knee following his ill-fated primary bid last year.

“We had a good meeting and cleared the air, and I appreciate her making the time,” Suozzi said. “At a time of strong political division, I offered to be another moderate voice as the Governor works to solve problems and make progress.”

Suozzi repped the Queens and Nassau County district for six years before leaving to run against Hochul in the gubernatorial race, opening the way for Santos to upset Democrat Robert Zimmerman as part of a midterm red wave in the Empire State.

 LA homeowner fatally shoots suspect during attempted burglary as horrified child, grandma watch
By Social Links for Isabel Keane
Published Dec. 4, 2023, 8:33 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A Los Angeles homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar over the weekend after a group of men wearing dark hoodies and masks broke into his home — where a child and grandmother were left rattled by the brazen attempted burglary.

Police responded to the Granada Hills home around 5 a.m. Saturday morning after receiving radio calls of shots fired inside the residence.

The homeowner told police he was inside his home when three or four unknown men wearing “dark clothing, hoodies and masks” broke in, the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on X.

“A suspect pointed a weapon at the victim and while the suspects were inside the residence, the victim produced a firearm and a shooting occurred,” the department wrote.

The homeowner, who was photographed outside the residence seemingly in handcuffs, was taken to the Devonshire Community Police Station to be interviewed, though they were later released.

GOVERNACIDE: Analyziz of a school shooting and no one cares

American Thinker
Shouldn’t Have Happened: The Oxford High Shooting
By Rebecca Behrends
Dec 2, 2023 at 01:00

  • There were so many red flags, warnings, gaps, and deficiencies that school boards and parents need to come to terms with.

*** begin quote ***

Meanwhile, the boy’s backpack was brought to the office. None of the school officials asked for consent to search his backpack. Later, the shooter testified to a defense psychologist that he was relieved for the first time in his life when he was in the counselor’s office because he just knew that sheriffs would burst into the office and arrest him. After all they had witnessed, he felt there would be no way that they wouldn’t search his backpack.

Well, they didn’t search his backpack. Had they done so, they would have found a gun and bullets. This was the weapon the shooter used later in the day to kill four students and injure five other students and a teacher.

The school counselor and the dean of students never asked the parents if their son had access to a firearm. It was concluded that it would be okay to send the boy back to his classroom, as it would be a “controlled, supervised” setting, and “we know that students are happier when they’re with their peers.” Four individuals had knowledge of threatening behavior of the shooter, but this info was not shared through their computerized database. Had the principal been notified, he would have had the authority to trigger a Threat Assessment and a Suicide Assessment Intervention. The shooter’s social media posts would have been checked, which would have revealed that he did have access to a firearm.

DISCOURAGING: A “demographic transformation” is occuring in the USA too thanks to Democrats welcoming illegal immigration

Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, December 1, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Polls show that most Irish are opposed to the demographic transformation, but this is utterly unrepresented in government. What kind of government muzzles its people, ignores their policy preferences, and replaces them? An illegitimate government of occupation. Getting rid of it was the purpose of the Irish struggle for independence. Will the Irish have to do it all over again?

*** end quote ***

Let’s not forget that Obama resettled Muslims into Michigan and the Mid-West.  Now the D”s are losing those State because of their support for Israel.  Their hubris is now paying them back.

Crime and drugs are pouring over the southern border.  And, to a lesser extent the northern one too.

Sounds like we are losing the nation over this “transformation”.

Arizona Election Lies Exposed Frank Speech Email The tide is shifting. This week we heard blockbuster oral arguments before the New Hampshire Supreme Court from Patriot Daniel Richard. Richard uncovered the dirty secrets behind Dominion Voting Systems and AccuVote tabulating systems being run by LHS Associates. In fact the election machines are so bad that even the president of LHS Associates admitted the AccuVote operating system is still running on Windows XP–a system not supported in decades! And the media continues to tell me that election machines cannot be hacked???!!! Windows XP, seriously? This case may end up BLOWING UP…

The Globe-Trotting Scholar Who Unlocked the Secrets of the Aztecs

  • Anthropologist Zelia Nuttall transformed the way we think of ancient Mesoamerica
  • An illustration of the Aztec calendar stone surrounds a young portrait of anthropologist Zelia Nuttall. “Mrs. Nuttall’s investigations of the Mexican calendar appear to furnish for the first time a satisfactory key,” wrote one leading scholar.

On a bright day early in 1885, Zelia Nuttall was strolling around the ancient ruins of Teotihuacán, the enormous ceremonial site north of Mexico City. Not yet 30, Zelia had a deep interest in the history of Mexico, and now, with her marriage in ruins and her future uncertain, she was on a trip with her mother, Magdalena; her brother George; and her 3-year-old daughter, Nadine, to distract her from her worries.

The site, which covered eight square miles, had once been home to the predecessors of the Aztecs. It included about 2,000 dwellings along with temples, plazas and pyramids where they charted the stars and made offerings to the sun and moon. As Zelia admired the impressive buildings, some shrouded in dirt and vegetation, she reached down and collected a few pieces of pottery from the dusty soil. They were plentiful and easy to find with a few brushes of her hand.

Amazing what this woman was able to accomplish.

I was most impressed by her language abilities.

And, I wonder what else we have lost or overlooked.

DISCOURAGING: Is it an “intelligence failure” if the top brass doesn’t listen?

Politics and Arrogance — Understanding Israel’s October 7 Intelligence Failure
27 November 2023 by Larry Johnson

*** begin quote ***

I think this rings true. It is the worst of “intelligence failures” because the analysts accurately and correctly reported the warning signs and their analysis was ignored. The reaction of the “high-ranking intelligence official” who dismissed the reports and analysis as an “imaginary scenario” is not out of character for Senior Israeli intelligence personnel. Arrogance and hubris is their M. O.

*** end quote ***

Like the USA had with 9/11 when pilot trainees who were not interested in take offs and landings?  Or “intelligence failures”, not to secure out legal visas?  Nevermind that the Southern Border is open for all manner of criminals and potential terrorists to invade.

Argh!

Shocking moment woman is robbed by rifle-wielding gang on busy Chicago street – before suspects stick up three other people and cops REFUSED to follow them

  •     A group of suspects robbed four people at gunpoint during a Chicago spree

This is the shocking moment a pedestrian was robbed at a Chicago intersection by a rifle-wielding gang.

The incident took place on September 23, but surveillance video of the scene was just revealed on Wednesday after the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communication refused to release it.

As the woman made her way across the six-way intersection at 4.45am, a silver sedan pulled up as one suspect pointed the gun at her and the others shook her down.

Remember “gun control” in Blue run cities?

If the woman was allowed to carry, then maybe there would be a lot less crime.

Argh!

ConspiracyTheories: skepticism… about certain government claims and conduct

In Praise of Conspiracy Theorists

Brian Maher –November 22, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Due to professional obligations we take aboard an overplus of daily “information.”

Some of it — perhaps more than some of it — sorts into the “conspiratorial” category.

For example: the theory that space lasers set Maui on fire.

For example: the theory that the Rothschilds ordered Kennedy shot dead.

For example: the theory that the Twin Towers were knocked down not by shanghaied airplanes but by pre-planted explosives.

Examples multiply and multiply.

Some have even accused this very publication — if you can believe it — of merchanting conspiracy theories.

These accusations have their origins in the pandemic.

We had expressed… skepticism… about certain government claims and conduct.

These concerned lockdowns, vaccines and the near-absolute suppression of unofficial information.

Thus the “conspiracy theorist” label came issuing.

Were we mistaken? Were we merely shouting wolf?

Or have subsequent discoveries validated our doubting Thomas skepticisms?

We leave that decision to you… our reader.

Seems like the bottom line.

GUNS: Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries

Israel and Gun Control
By Jessica Geraghty

*** begin quote ***

Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries typically known to be anti-gun, including Australia and England, says Stern.He believes that recent media narratives paint an all-too-forgiving picture of the willingness of Israeli leaders to arm and protect their citizens.

Jessica Geraghty is an established freelance writer and blogger who has over 15 years of experience writing for businesses, political candidates and news publications. Most recently, topics she has written about include human resources, informed consent, the Second Amendment and real estate.

So, all the pictures of gun toting Israeli’s is “bull <synonym for excrement>”!

No wonder the October 7th attack by Hamas was so successful. The people were like lambs to be slaughtered.

It’s a well known meme about Germans were disarmed and then you got the Holocaust.  A lesson that has been repeated several times in history. 

So when do “We, The Sheeple” wake up?
