This Is How the Progressives Will Write the History of Covid

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

How many people today are aware that America’s past experiments in Prohibition, ethnic discrimination, and eugenics were all once fervent policies of progressivism? And in many ways it already seems to have begun: only days after a Johns Hopkins University study found that lockdowns caused far more harm than good, the Biden administration claimed it has “not been pro-lockdown; that has not been his agenda—most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous President.”

Robert Zumwalt

It seems obvious that wherever vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and lockdowns have been imposed in response to covid-19, progressive political and media elites have been the driving forces behind them. This is clear to those of us alive today, but it is worth considering whether future history books will attempt to erase progressives’ culpability for the disasters their covid policies have caused. The argument that follows is speculative, but bad ideologies should be held to the fires of their own making, and it seems to be in the nature of progressivism to attempt to escape the historical reckoning it is due.

Not long ago, it seemed more likely that the progressive elites would eventually just declare covid-19 to be over and herald themselves as humanity’s saviors. But as the pandemic has worn on, the cracks in the covid disinformation regime have widened for all to see. The failures and destructiveness of their policies are now beyond deniability to reasonable people, and so long as it is well known that progressivism was the driving force behind those policies, this episode will tarnish its reputation and its core dogma that technocratic social planners holding “correct” moral beliefs will save mankind from itself.

Therefore, it now seems likely the progressive elites who engineered and proselytized these disastrous public health policies will begin to distance themselves from those actions and eventually attempt to paint a new history absolving their ideology from today’s failures. Philosophy professor Alex Rosenberg argues in How History Gets Things Wrong that narrative histories almost always get the “why” of history wrong because the narratives we spin about history, especially popular histories, are usually motivated by our own moral causes. If true, perhaps even the “what” of history can be distorted for the same reasons.

As Murray Rothbard demonstrated in The Progressive Era, American progressivism was born of just this type of motivated moral cause:

White House Incompetents Plotting Russia War!

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

Surely at 3AM Zelensky is visited by the ghosts of Gaddafi, Saddam, Noriega, and endless former US clients who “went rogue” and found themselves on the wrong end of US “democracy promotion.” The price of crossing your US overlords is anal rape and death.

Dear Friends:

The Biden Administration geniuses who botched the US departure from Afghanistan, who assured us there was no way the Taliban would take over, and that no American would be left behind, are the very same people assuring us that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is “imminent.” Then it’s not. Now it is again! As soon as Tuesday!

It’s clear that we are not dealing with competent people. No wonder Biden’s approval ratings are at historic lows – below 40 percent! Ironically – and dangerously – that gives a great deal of leverage to the incompetent Obama-holdover hawks like Blinken, Nuland, and Sullivan, who are no doubt whispering in the president’s ear what wonders a delightful little war might bring.

According to some reports, the White House has shared “secret” intelligence with previously hesitant allies, and today Japan, Netherlands, and South Korea have joined the US in frantically demanding their citizens leave Ukraine immediately because, as Biden himself said – along with his incompetent National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan –  the invasion is imminent (again) and, “things could go crazy quickly.”

The leaking of “secret intelligence” is the best way to get the lapdog mainstream media to stand up and beg for more. It is also reminiscent of all the bogus “intelligence” that lied us into the catastrophic Iraq war, where we flushed trillions down the toilet in the pursuit of killing a million innocent people. All lies. God have mercy.

It was only a week or so ago that the State Department spokesman was ruthlessly hammered by AP’s Matt Lee over the fact-free claims that Putin was about to make a film faking a Ukrainian attack on Donbas to justify Russia’s own invasion of Ukraine. Lee did what journalists used to do: he asked for proof. The State Department flack – surprise surprise a former CIA officer – found himself pumping mud under what should have been normal scrutiny from the so-called fourth estate.

Here’s how it’s going down, folks, if it does go down. And I mentioned this in an interview tonight:

The US has turned its propaganda amplifiers up to 11 hyping the threat that Russia would somehow want to take Kiev in the next day or two. It has been able to establish this panic with the assistance of the Pravda-esque US mainstream media

Next step – already happening – is that the US is pulling its OSCE monitors from Donbas in eastern Ukraine due to the MSM/Biden hyped “imminent” threat. US allies may well follow and pull their OSCE monitors from Donbas, leaving no one to actually tell us who started shelling first.

How convenient.

And this while the OSCE monitors in Donbass have recorded a 400% increase in Kiev shelling the area today over the previous seven day average. Goaded by sugar daddy US, an otherwise seemingly-reluctant Zelensky – a comedian who fell into the role of Ukraine president – is the wild card.

There is no doubt that US pressure is on him like a pack of Texas fire ants. He has been desperately walking back unhinged (and objectively false) US assertions over the past several weeks that a Russian invasion was just a day away, but how long can he continue to poke his benefactor in the eye before he recalls what happens to former US allies?

Surely at 3AM Zelensky is visited by the ghosts of Gaddafi, Saddam, Noriega, and endless former US clients who “went rogue” and found themselves on the wrong end of US “democracy promotion.” The price of crossing your US overlords is anal rape and death.

As RPI Academic Advisor John Laughland famously wrote in 2005, “it is better to be an enemy of the Americans than their friend. If you are their enemy, they might try to buy you; but if you are their friend they will definitely sell you.”

Take note, Zelensky!

I’ve been writing for the better part of two decades on the corruption of the OSCE and its infiltration by western intelligence services. So while they are not for the most part reliable in the first place, the removal of all monitors under the false assertion that an invasion is imminent will remove any honest monitor who might lurk.

With no one from “the West” to monitor who fires first, all those wonderful weapons of war provided to Ukraine by the US and UK can be unleashed against the citizens of eastern Ukraine and no one will be there (except those unreliable Russians and their allies) to report that the attack came from Kiev rather than from Moscow.

This is how World War III starts. It’s all laid out before us. An incompetent yet hubristic Biden Administration believes that it can bring Ukraine into NATO and then use Article 5 to regain Crimea from Russia.

It’s like totally insane former US Ambassador Michael McFaul is recalled into a senior policymaking position after three years of sniffing glue!

Dear friends: This is no longer DC think tank speculation. Russia has a legitimate reason to oppose NATO on its doorstep. And that is not an endorsement of the concept of “regions of influence,” which is dumb. It is simply the Russians understanding that the next regime change will be theirs. There is nothing in such a stupid policy for the rest of us Americans. Who cares who runs Russia? Who cares who runs Ukraine?

Here is the forbidden but true conclusion: it is not “pro-Russia” but in fact pro-America to oppose nuclear war over insignificant Ukraine. Let Europe deal with its own border problems and how about we deal with our own as well?

BTW: how do you like that 1970s-era stagflation? Pre-order your bell-bottoms and disco records! It’s coming. We used to rule the world
Sincerely yours,

Moving On

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

What will snap this half of the country out of their frightened narcissistic, anti-human, state worship? Perhaps it will be actually stepping into the abyss with a World War III, prosecuted by a barely sentient Joe Biden and a fiscally and morally bankrupt United States.

By Karen Kwiatkowski

I recently received an email from Move-on, a leader in Progressive Democratic advocacy.  They are very concerned about book banning (specifically Maus).  I can’t say it better than they do:

Across the country, book bans have risen dramatically over the past year, led by far-right politicians intent on stopping kids from learning about race, sexual orientation, gender identity, different cultures, or even just an unbiased history of our country.

It is a blatant, despicable attack on our freedoms and an attempt to control the minds of our kids.

We cannot, and will not, let it happen.

Notwithstanding the point here, the very best way to get a kid to read something is to tell them they mustn’t. I mean there are only dozens of websites where you can read this particular graphic novel right now, among a thousand more.

Move-on’s mail listing includes nearly half the country, and it’s the half that enthusiastically endorses the silencing, masking and strait-jacketing of the non-compliant “other.”  They comprise today’s cancel culture, yesterday’s witch hunts, and McCarthyism before McCarthy was vindicated. When they perceive the other half of the country canceling, or even just questioning, something they like, it gets self-righteous, indignant, angry, and ugly real quick.

No doubt, most of this is Democratic fundraising theater.  Still, many of us wonder about what goes on inside the heads of modern leftists.  This short tutorial may help:

Government, if you own it, is good.  Hence Joe Biden is good.  Kamala Harris is good.  The DOJ and FBI and DoD and CDC and FDA, and the Department of Education are all very good.  They were not good in 2019 and 2020, but they are now.

If government is good and the source of good, all must obey, honor and respect it. “Let’s Go Brandon” is code for thinking disrespectful thoughts about the President, therefore it must be eliminated from the cultural language, and those using it and thinking it must be vilified and condemned.

If government is good (and it is when we own it), it does not lie, cheat or steal.

If government does not lie, the CDC at any given moment is telling its best truth to the American people. Those who question the CDC and FDA “truth” and do not follow its “rules of the day” are disobedient.

If government does not cheat, suggesting that government-managed elections have been stolen are lies, not to be tolerated, and insurrectionary.

If government does not steal, suggestions that the vast federal and state administration is not giving us our moneys’ worth in terms of legislation, services, education or justice is disrespectful, disloyal, and ungrateful.

The Move-on message went on to say, “Make no mistake: These are attempts by Republicans to wage a white supremacist culture war and march our country closer toward authoritarianism.

Authoritarianism, rule by a central authority, necessitates threats and punishment to gain compliance, both generally and specifically.  It does not coexist with a decentralized, self-governing, organic authority, of people living their lives as they decide. Some people believe a just and stable balance between the two may be achieved, but the authoritarians know better, and in this they are correct.

Now, Move-on is “opposed” to “authoritarianism.”  The message concludes with this uplifting statement, “As we have done in the past, our grassroots, people-powered movement will fight back, and together we will succeed.”

To understand this conundrum of confusion and hypocrisy, we don’t really have to examine Marx. The animating philosophy for what is dividing the United States is less about marxism and more about narcissism.

There is also a real tension between love of statism, and love for individuals and the natural world.

Dishonesty is a Bad Business Plan

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

“Perhaps for the ruling class the only thing that would be more terrifying than seeing children go to school without masks is the idea of losing elections.” — Grace Curley, The Spectator

James Howard Kunstler

The whopping untruths launched onto the people of Western Civ by their governments reformatted the brains of millions so badly that they shuffled obediently into a mass formation and ran over a buffalo jump. What a stampede it has been!

But suddenly, the remaining buffaloes are balking at the cliff’s edge, seeing the bodies pile up below. Some of the bulls have even turned the other way and started charging back across the darkling prairie at the creatures driving the herd with their klaxons of deceit. All authority, from Vienna to Vancouver, stands revealed as psychopathic — it apparently seeks to kill and injure as many as possible. Talk about the needle and the damage done! Why else persist with vaccines that don’t work and which provoke the most lethal disease mechanisms as side-effects?

The most mysterious element of the story, of course, is what motivated the various actors in this accursed melodrama. You could start by asking Dr. Anthony Fauci why he suggested this week the need for yet another round of the same mRNA booster shots that already proved completely ineffective against the omicron generation of Coronavirus. People are dropping dead from the boosters. Each successive shot sends a fresh cargo of toxic artificial spike proteins into the bloodstream, which remain at work for more than a year, insidiously gumming up the capillaries of vital organs and throwing toggle switches in the coded proteins of immune systems that turn off the body’s natural defenses against a panoply of diseases, including cancers. The life insurance companies are starting to notice and squawk about the astounding rise in all-causes mortality. Nobody else in the loop dares to speak up, most conspicuously the doctors, except a brave few… McCullough, Malone, Kory, Bhattacharya, Kheriaty, Cole, Risch, Marik, Urso….

Dr. Fauci, of course, has an entire career of public health malpractice to cover up. In his quest for medical immortality, he bungled the institutional response to the AIDS epidemic, introducing toxic drug protocols still inexplicably in use today — namely, AZT, which got FDA approval despite its botched 1986 Phase II trials. Next, Dr. Fauci attempted a miracle cure for the terrifying Ebola virus: remdesivir. More botched trials. Anyway, the drug didn’t work against Ebola. But he hauled it out again for his crowning creation, Covid-19, and got the NIH to anoint remdesivir as the standard-of-care for hospital in-patients — at the same time that he got the bureaucracy to ban and demonize effective early treatment protocols, including ivermectin and HCQ — while pushing his next-gen miracle cure, the mRNA vaccines, which also flunked their rushed and inept trials.

Remdesivir provokes renal failure in five days, leading to fluid build-up in the lungs, and the doctors were unable to discern the deadly side-effects from the supposed symptoms of Covid-19 itself. What’s more, the public health authorities gave a $17,000 bonus to hospitals for each course of remdesivir given, and additional cash for reporting deaths as Covid-related. Quite a racket. The net result is hundreds of thousands of deaths from mass medical malpractice, and ultimately the ruin of the entire racketeering-based US medical system.

Henceforth, doctors will have to battle strenuously against being regarded as dangerous quacks, while the entire scaffold of conglomerate hospitals and group practices founders and falls. You have no idea what a shitstorm of lawsuits is barreling toward the medical establishment when the fog of propaganda finally lifts and the public can see what has been perpetrated against it. Criminal indictments against Dr. Fauci and some of his colleagues should follow in a sane world, and there’s a chance that the world is beginning to swerve back a little closer to sanity — where a respect for truth and the rule-of-law can re-energize the collective public conscience.

The Democratic Party rode this public health fiasco into power in the USA and has abused its prerogatives exorbitantly in its quest for power without purpose… other than for more power to push people around. The Democratic Party used Covid to enable the ballot fraud that drove its nemesis, Mr. Trump, from office — and dearly wanted the same excuse to use it again this year. For weeks now, the party has been dithering between a quadrupling down of its insane Covid mandates and the fretful recognition that too much news of its Covid crimes and turpitudes has gotten out.

Tens of millions heard the three-hour Joe Rogan interviews with Doctors McCullough and Malone, in which they laid out the shocking facts about the rise of medical tyranny, the propaganda campaign supporting it out of the old news media networks, and the obscene machinations of a rogue pharmaceutical industry drunk on profits. Those two long and thoughtful conversations with McCullough and Malone have shifted the public’s perception of what has gone on, and their participation with other doctors in Senator Ron Johnson’s recent hearings, have thrown the Party of Covid and Chaos completely off-balance.

The uprising of Canadian truckers inspires a general resistance to being pushed around by over-reaching elected officials and their bureaucratic subalterns, and the truckers’ example is being followed all over Western Civ. Wait until the American truckers get in the act, representing a vast class of citizens who have taken a beating for more than two years and, increasingly, have nothing left to lose.

Following the lame, coordinated campaign to discredit Joe Rogan, the Democrats and their accomplices in the news media went into a desperate pivot this week, attempting brazenly to pretend that they can walk away from what amounts to their abetting of mass murder. The midterm elections loom darkly. Not only can they be kicked out of legislative power, but there’s an excellent chance that their hapless, grifter president, “Joe Biden,” can be impeached and convicted by a new Congress for bribery and treason, and the vice-president along with him for high crimes, leading to the installing of a new speaker of the house (not a Democrat) as president. Between the congressional investigations that would follow, and the appointment of a new attorney general, the prosecutions can commence and the country can begin the rehabilitation of its conscience.

Election Year Science In Amnesia Nation

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

Following the politicians following the science following the polls.

Now that the science has suddenly changed for an election year, my dear nephew will finally get that one liberty back from the dictator governor where he lives, but not until March 31st because any sooner would make too much sense.

Good Citizen
“Karma before gravity?”


Amnesia Nation
They want us to quickly forget their transgressions and tyrannies. They want to us to forget the past two years ever happened. You can see the slithering and maneuvering everywhere, except in the offices of Fidel Castro Jr. up north intent on tripling down his race to the political graveyard on behalf of his private eucalyptus whisker of the Genevois bath houses for bond villains. As for the rest of them, they’ve received their memos and simultaneously converged the functionaries into their expertly rehearsed and choreographed gaslight formations. Their talking points are well synched as they slither on the cable shows with mumblings of tremendous wonderful news about how the science has suddenly and magically changed in your favor Good Citizens. As predicted, right on schedule and they want you to thank them for it. Like armed robbers who pilfer your home, tie up your kids, execute grandma with “medicine” and return two years later with all your things, they want you to be grateful for returning what was never theirs to take.

The magic of election year science. Presto! Your liberties will soon be yours again. Your child will stop being abused. Not yet, but soon. The science says we must let the child abuse continue a little longer in blue states. Something stinks so nauseatingly with rot, and it’s not just the rigor mortis in vaccident morgues near the soccer stadiums.

They think they rule a nation of amnesiacs. They think they can turn the giant listing plandemic freighter around on land, with its fractured hull and simply push out back to the calm seas for a relaxing voyage believing that you will forget it was they who got drunk with power in the pilot house and steered us intentionally into those rocks, spilling liberties and lives across the shoreline to save the planet while laughing with glee and patting themselves on the back for following “the science”. They think you’ll forget the war they’ve declared on your mind and soul. They want you to believe it’s over and they want you to thank them for it! To quote the great First Blood monologue, in regards to defunct liberal democracies of the west declaring war on their own people, what I’ve called our Silent War: “Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don’t turn it off! This wasn’t my war, you asked me I didn’t ask you! I did what I had to do to win but somebody wouldn’t let us win!”

For years the American people have suffered great indignities of insufferable sociopaths addicted to money and power. The Great American Hospicide and intentional killing of 670,000 lives that could have been saved with early treatment and toxic injection rejection is the greatest evil pushed on humankind since the advent of the food pyramid which has probably killed tens of millions more. This was all possible because obedient believers kneeled before their god the state, which determines how and when the science changes. This never requires research or evidence, or what we might have once believed to be actual science. The convenience of state sponsored science in a corporatocracy is that it can change at the drop of a poll, with a sudden misdirection of the gusts of public sentiment, a slow and tedious thing public sentiment. It took a natural vaccine like omicron to eventually blow the slow pokes toward questioning their pseudo realities.

While many will never even begin that process, omicron stopped sending people to the hospital, and so they could no longer be intentionally killed in sufficient numbers with remdesivir and ventilators. The absence of death is the absence of pretending there’s a mortal threat to justify the continuation of great indignities and state sponsored psychological terror. In an Election year this becomes a liability.

Though management is still relying on the vaccines to fill those death figure gaps, hence the endless demands to get boosted with Lord Fauci calling for a fourth booster. Fourth! For the sniffles and headache variant because Lord Fauci knows some people forgot there was once something called the common cold and their neurosis and amnesia is a great soft point for exploitation. He is always happy to aim those mRNA cannons at whatever targets will have them in their bloodstream. Future victims of coincidences and snow shoveling accidents.

In the UK in December they enacted a national drive as if they were living through the blitz all over again or the Dunkirk flotilla and it required a national collective effort to wait in line and be told if one had the sniffles. “Dearest guv, can you please tell me if I have the sniffles?” The solution to harmful sniffles? The denizens were told to get boosted with a toxic injection made for a variant long since departed. And here we are just 45 days later and some sneaky private PM wine parties during past lockdowns have forced the political winds of change to change the science. Not the intentional killing of Brits through pharmacological democide or segregation with medical apartheid, but wine parties. Threaten a politician’s job and voila, the science magically changes overnight! Klaus is going to have a word with Boris at the Genevois bath houses for not keeping up with Fidel Jr.

Watch “Inflation Is Roaring! Biden, Congress & The Fed Don’t Know What To Do!” on YouTube

Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2022

Inflation is caused by the Fed counterfeiting dollars. No counterfeiter, No inflation. This “system” is unconstitutional and a recipe for severe economic disaster. Money must be sound and counterfeiting must never be legal for anyone. The sooner we adopt sound money, the better. To continue to delay is to continue to recklessly play with fire.
