Marines Have Now Booted 169 For Vaccine Refusal – All Religious Exemptions Denied
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, DEC 25, 2021 – 09:30 PM
*** begin quote ***
As of end of this week the US Marine Corps has kicked out at least 169 Marines over their refusal to get the coronavirus vaccine by the mandated deadline. This after the past week alone has seen 66 additional Marines discharged on top of the initial service members booted.
Amid the new Omicron fears, of which there may be a mere handful of cases across the US military, the Marine Corps said in a new statement that “The speed with which the disease transmits among individuals has increased risk to our Marines and the Marine Corps’ mission.”

Sorry, BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), ALL the exemptions denied means that there were NO exceptions for religious reasons.
WRONG!

Moderna Began Developing Covid-19 Vaccine Weeks Before First Official Outbreak Recorded

Conservative and political commentator Glenn Beck recently revealed to Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the Covid-19 vaccine was already in development since December 2019, months before the United States felt the full effects of the pandemic and at least two weeks before China confirmed its first official outbreak of coronavirus.Beck drew attention to the fact that gain-of-function research involving bat coronavirus samples began in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China as early as 2015. It is a known fact that these experiments were being partly funded by White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr Anthony Fauci and other organisations…

Germany’s Reaction To The Energy Crisis Could Be Catastrophic
https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/germanys-reaction-energy-crisis-could-be-catastrophic
— via my feedly newsfeed
*** begin quote ***
These rising power prices in Europe are fueling inflation, and Trafigura has warned that Europe could experience rolling blackouts if this winter turns out to be a cold one. Meanwhile, natural gas flows from Russia are a big question mark, with tensions over Nord Stream 2 and Russia’s possible invasion of Ukraine exacerbating Europe’s power situation.
*** end quote ***
The article cites German switch from nuclear and gas to renewable electric with all new construction being required to use electric heat pumps.
Since every bad idea in Europe seems to flow to the USA, it would behoove folks to examine how they are going to stay warm in the coming DECADE. Even in non-SHTF planning, higher “energy” costs may mean that alternatives might be critical — in terms of budget, availability, or outages.
At the very least, some insulation and other energy saving investments might cost less now before “everyone wants them” and give a great ROI.
IMHO

Pointlessness Exalted
*** begin quote ***
Artist Akasegawa Genpei took a strange inspiration from this: He defined a “Thomasson” as “an object, part of a building, that was maintained in good condition, but with no purpose, to the point of becoming a work of art.” For example, in Tokyo he’d noticed a well-maintained stairway with a blank wall at its top, and a ticket window that had been boarded up but whose tray had been assiduously permitted still to function.
Akasegawa’s colleague Chikuma Shobo eventually published a whole taxonomy of Thomassons: useless doorways, useless staircases, useless windows, doors to nowhere, senseless signs. Just like art, these items have no purpose in society, but they’re preserved with care, to the point that they seem to be exhibits in themselves. “However, these objects do not appear to have a creator, making them even more art-like than regular art.”

An interesting concept.

DECEMBER 14, 2021Austrian Catholics Launch Public Rosary in Response to Lockdowns
JENNIFER BRYSON
*** begin quote ***
Amid waves of highly restrictive lockdowns and a proposed universal COVID-19 vaccine mandate to start February 1, tensions in Austria, where I live, are on the rise. But in late November, a new light of hope appeared on the horizon, just in time for Advent. Louis-Pierre Laroche, a wine merchant and father of eleven, issued a call to pray the rosary with others in public, for Austria. Exhausted from the political responses to COVID offering just ever-increasing restrictions, suffering economically, isolated by the lockdowns, frightened and dismayed by the prospect of a universal vaccine mandate, Laroche’s call is resonating with Austrians eager to join in.
Weekly, on Wednesday evenings since the end of November, all over Austria people have started to gather in public to pray the rosary together as part of the Austria Prays initiative. The call is simple while also profound: “Pray for Austria!” every Wednesday night, in public, as a flyer explains, “so that our country, that is currently in one of the most serious crises in its history, will be entrusted to the Mother of God, and to ask for her intercession for all citizens.”
*** end quote ***
MLK, echoing Ghandi, gave us the key to resistance to tyranny. Peace quiet non-cooperation. (Like 4 years old Daniel has taught me, no one can make ANYONE do what they don’t want to do. They can only hurt or kill you. They still won’t do what you want.)
I’d like to see more peaceful resistance to tyranny.

To the contrary, four facts about Social Security should be noted.
There is no contractual right to receive benefits. The Supreme Court ruled on this decades ago.
Benefits are calculated by an arbitrary formula. Congress can change the formula at any time.
The Social Security tax is just a regular federal tax that puts money in the Treasury. Its name means absolutely nothing.
Social Security is just another federal welfare program. In fact, it is an intergenerational, income-transfer, wealth-redistribution welfare program.

On December 21st past the close of business hours, NVIC was notified that PayPal would no longer process donations made by our supporters effective immediately. In essence, PayPal wants to control your choices and tell you which non-profit charities you may and may not support. Pay Pal’s sudden and unexplained action against our donors comes in the middle of our annual end-of-year fund raising campaign.
*** end quote ***
I like PAYPAL BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), I don’t think PAYPAL should not discriminate between charities based on politics or viewpoints.
If this policy is not reversed by 31 JAN 2022, then I will have to close my PAYPAL account.
If they can do it to NVIC, then they can do it to anyone. And, I can no longer patronize them.

Jeremy Beau Sides, 42, who runs the YouTube channel Exploring with Nug, found a black 1988 Pontiac Grand Am during a dive in Sparta on November 30, with human remains inside that are yet to be identified.

Will the developers please consider this when they push products to the marketplace.
I like tech products to have a “supervisory mode” that his all the “dangerous” functions from the old, and young, users.
Just like enterprises do to their employees with varying degrees of success.
Phones, chromebooks, and computers are my current hot buttons, but as more devices like TVs and streaming sticks become “configurable”, they have the same problem with “fat fingers”.

Why Don’t People “Trust The Science?” Because Scientists Are Often Caught Lying
BY TYLER DURDEN

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us
*** begin quote ***
There has been an unfortunate shift in Western educational practices in the past few decades away from what we used to call “critical thinking.” In fact, critical thinking was once a fundamental staple of US colleges and now it seems as though the concept doesn’t exist anymore; at least not in the way it used to. Instead, another brand of learning has arisen which promotes “right thinking”; a form of indoctrination which encourages and rewards a particular response from students that falls in line with ideology and not necessarily in line with reality.
*** and ***
Why don’t people trust the science and scientists anymore?
This is simple: Because many scientists have been caught lying and misrepresenting their data to fit the conclusions they want rather than the facts at hand. Science is often politicized to serve an agenda. This is not conspiracy theory, this is provable fact.
*** end quote ***
“I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notarized.” … attributed to Judge Marilyn Milian, but may have an earlier history.

Larry David rivals only Scrooge in his disdain for Christmas
By Ian Mohr
December 18, 2021 | 9:28am
*** begin quote ***
Among the holiday’s most offensive elements, in his opinion, are — “the loathsome music. The movies with their ridiculous, treacly sentiments. The presents — thinking about them, shopping for them (never without resentment), and the attendant pile of garbage that accumulates from opening them, an environmental disaster simultaneously taking place in living rooms across the country.”
*** end quote ***
Yes, it seems that the alleged reason for the season is completely forgotten by this celebrating it.
I always thought Scrooge got a bum rap from the media. Especially, about the “workhouses”, when he paid his taxes.
There is so much “poverty of spirit” in the land we don’t need to fake it for a “holiday”.
So I, like Larry, just keep my feelings to my self and go on my “merry way”.
Happy Festivus.
And a “Bash Humbug” to you all.
Peace on Earth, good will to …

Evil Is The Root Of All (Fiat) Money

*** begin quote ***
“So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?” -Ayn Rand
Money used to be a stable medium of exchange and a store of value but that was in the days when there were sound monetary principles, mostly backed by gold or silver.
*** and ***
But these are the consequences that history teaches us time and time again. But sadly everyone thinks it is different today.
Since every currency system in history has collapsed, it is quite a certain bet that this one will too.
For the few who have savings, wealth preservation in physical gold and silver is essential as insurance against yet another failed currency and financial system.
And for everybody it is important to remember that the most important things in life are family and friends. Helping others in difficult times is critical.
Remember also that many wonderful things in life are free, conversations, books, music and nature.
*** end quote ***
At this time of peace and joy, let’s prepare for the 7 years of “famine” ahead.
Buy some commodities and stash them away for the future.
Vote with your wallet when you spend “dollars” and vote your politics considering your wallet.

The Supreme Court today gave us a fantastic decision in a case where Gun Owners of America and its foundation (GOF) were involved!
*** begin quote ***
In Caniglia v. Strom, the Supreme Court today struck down an attempt by Rhode Island police to conduct warrantless searches for guns in a home using the so-called “community caretaking function.”
This made-up doctrine, which is a purported exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement, permits police to engage in warrantless searches and seizures when they are carrying out any of their duties other than criminal law enforcement. For example, police may enter homes to help persons in need of emergency assistance, or may search a vehicle to recover the gun of an off-duty officer they had just arrested.
Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), stated:
“The Supreme Court today smacked down the hopes of gun grabbers across the nation. The Michael Bloombergs of the world would have loved to see the Supreme Court grant police the authority to confiscate firearms without a warrant. But the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Fourth Amendment protections in the Bill of Rights protect gun owners from such invasions into their homes.”
According to GOA’s brief, after a husband and wife had an argument, the police entered their home without a warrant to search and seize the husband’s firearms based on the supposed “community caretaking” exception to the Fourth Amendment. The Rhode Island district court and the First Circuit plucked two words from a court-created doctrine in an effort to empower police to grab guns in homes whenever it seems to be a good idea.
Writing for a unanimous Court in a short opinion, Justice Thomas denied the application of the doctrine to justify the search, distinguishing between a rule that applied to an impounded car and “the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.”
Gun Owners of America and its foundation are continually bringing lawsuits across the country to defend firearm rights. GOA is unwavering in its defense of gun rights and remains the only “no compromise” gun lobby.
So GOA wishes to express its thanks to those members who assisted in this case

OPINION EDITORIAL
Hunter Biden never fails to catch a break, from the White House or the elite media
By Post Editorial Board
December 11, 2021 8:29pm
*** begin quote ***
Boy, does Hunter Biden get a ton of breaks. The White House has basically given up on setting any ethical rules for the First Son, while the cultural elite rush to cover for his sleaze.
Last week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to commit to “basic transparency” about Hunter’s divestment from an investment fund owned by a Chinese-state entity during a White House Press Briefing. She also refused to admit his infamous laptop is authentic.
“The president’s son is not an employee of the federal government, so I’d point you to his representatives,” Psaki snarked after being asked about the China connection. She used the same lame excuse back in February: “He’s a private citizen — I would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside on any update.”
And never mind that President Joe Biden pledged last December that no family member would have a conflict of interest in his administration: “My son, my family will not be involved in any business, any enterprise that is in conflict with or appears to be in conflict with where there’s appropriate distance from the presidency and government,” he told CNN.

American Becky Hammon Called ‘Traitor’ for Representing Russia at the Olympics
Posted Jun 15th 2008 9:55AM by Michael David Smith
Filed under: Women’s Sports, USA
*** begin quote ***
Becky Hammon is an American who plays for the WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars. She’s also going to play in the Olympics in Beijing — but not for Team USA.
Instead, Hammon will play for Russia’s Olympic basketball team. Hammon has no Russian ancestry, but she has played professionally in Russia, and she became a Russian citizen to aid her basketball career. In the eyes of the International Olympic Committee, that’s good enough for her to play for Russia.
That doesn’t sit well with some in this country. During a CNN interview, Team USA women’s basketball coach Anne Donovan referred to Hammon as a “traitor.” Similar sentiments were expressed today on ESPN’s Outside the Lines.

It’s not like the Olympics means anything.

In December 1945, General Patton sustained life threatening injuries in a car crash near Mannheim, Germany. He died at the hospital in Heidelberg 12 days later on December 21. General Patton was 60 years-old. General Patton is buried in the American Military Cemetery of Hamm in Luxembourg, alongside the other soldiers of the 3rd Army in accordance with his desire “to be buried with his men”.
Considered one of the most successful Combat Generals in US history, George Patton was the first officer assigned to the Tank Corps in WWI. During WWII, he commanded the US Seventh Army in the Mediterranean Theater and the US Third Army in France and Germany after the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Lest We Forget.

No doubt he was anti-Russian and wanted to continue on from Berlin to Moscow.

Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 26, was driving a semi on April 25, 2019 down Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, when he crashed into two dozen vehicles – including four other semi-trucks stuck in rush-hour traffic. The impact caused a fireball explosion that incinerated cars and trucks and killed four people.

Last time I remember anything this big was when the movie Convoy made a laughing stock of all the police that hassled truckers with lame tickets.

What we saw in Virginia can serve as a road map moving forward. When dealing with an abusive narcissist, the only response is to marginalize him, to not give him an ounce of credibility, and to hold fast to the clarity of one who has seen him for what he is.

Promoting Marksmanship
December 15, 2021 by John Richardson
*** begin quote ***
The 1941 Swedish propaganda poster below is promoting marksmanship. The wording translates as “shooting skills increase the defense force.” Both the civilian and the soldier are firing what appears to be a Model 96 Swedish Mauser.
*** end quote ***
Perhaps one reason for “our” “success” in WW1 and WW2 was the marksmanship of the average civilian.
Today, there would be no such advantage.
Today’s gang bangers are lucky they don’t shoot themselves. Everything they know about guns comes from TV and movies.
One can only hope that “We, The Sheeple” are teaching their children “traditional values”.
“Let us hope our weapons are never needed – but do not forget what the common people of this nation knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny.” – Edward Abbey

Amazon warehouse workers slam phone ban after tornado deaths

December 13, 2021 9:48am
*** begin quote ***
Now, Amazon workers argue that employees need phones to access alerts about tornadoes and other emergencies — and some are threatening to quit if the company goes back to its strict no-phone policy.
“I’m not working without my phone,” one user wrote on a Reddit forum for Amazon workers. “I’m not going to quit, I’m going to either work with my phone or make them fire me for that reason.”
“If people who survived can prove that they got warnings via phone before managers told them to shelter in place, and that their phones saved lives, I’d say that’s a pretty good argument for keeping them,” another said.
“They’ll ban phones again,” a third predicted. “They don’t give a s—t about the workers.”
*** end quote ***
Sorry but this one is an easy one.
Maybe six gazillion dollar lawsuits for wrongful death will help Amazon see the error of their policy.
