Mid-Terms: Time To Change The Message

“The overwhelming number of [COVID-19] deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four co-morbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky

ChinCOVID panic was a really useful tool for terrorizing Americans in 2020, setting the stage for unaccountable mail-in and dropbox balloting (just made for fraud). But now that the BS is becoming clearer to more people, the pseudo-medical tyranny is loosing the shine. Instead of fear, shutdowns, jobs lost, shelves scantily stocked are just pissing everyone off. That’s never a good thing for the party in power come election time.

Its usefulness fading, it’s time for ChinCOVID to go away. Preferably just in time for the Biden puppeteers to declare that he fixed it, as promised in his basement campaign.

So the message now is:

  • Omicron is hardly more than a cold.
  • Deaths are down; see, the pseudo-vaccines worked!
  • It’s now people who are already “unwell” who are dying, not otherwise healthy people.
  • Problem solved!

While the abrupt change in message will continue to piss off many who saw through the crap to begin with, it will work on much of the Dim-ocRats target demographic: stupid urban parasites. And the Dims need them this year.

The 2020 election fraud was so blatant that many states changed laws to prevent the worst of it repeating. And, sadly to say, there are angry people this close to doing something about a repeat personally, aand the hell with the courts.

So The Dims need to recoup voters; they just can’t risk fraud on the 2020 scale again (any time soon, at least).

Of course, Repugnatcans have a messaging problem, too, which has prompted their own changes. Georgia exemplifies it.

Governor Kemp and Secretary of Scum Raffensperger spent the past 17 months saying the elections were just fine, no fraud here, nothing to see, move along now. Oh, Kemp very briefly promised a real forensic audit. But quite coincidentally did an abrupt 180 immediately after the odd crash that killed his daughter’s boyfriend.

But now it’s 2022, and the Reps have a potentially serious voter turn-out problem (foreshadowed by the 2021 Senate run-offs, when many conservative saaw no point in botheri g when Raffensperger enabled more fraud by unlawfully and unconstitutionally opening up voter registration for the run-offs). So the Rep message had to change.

Whoa! We just found evidence of fraud, and we’ll — at least pretend to — carefully investigate now. So vote for us!

Yeah, no. Raffensperger is the one who agreed to unlawfully allow all those unattended dropboxes, and Kemp is the one who let him do it. (And what happened to the unaccounted-for Zuckerbucks? Who got that?)

So read those messages. Between the lines.

Transgenderism As Eugenics?

Let’s see how many outraged loons I can attract today.


Recently, Peter Grant had a couple of posts regarding “transgender” people and medical care. He noted in that first post:

Even worse, he/she/it is openly asking whether a DNA analysis service is willing to falsify its results for the sake of political correctness. Why would anyone in their right minds want falsified results that might lead to inappropriate medical treatment for a serious illness? Some are sex-dependent. You can’t get (or be treated for) prostate cancer if you don’t have a prostate, or cervical cancer if you don’t have a cervix. What happens when a test on someone who not only identifies as female, but presents a genetic report appearing to confirm that it’s female, produces results suggestive of prostate cancer? One has visions of medical technicians’ minds exploding!

This is something that’s been on my mind. Especially since reading another blog post from another person a few years back. I can no longer find that post; it’s possible it was removed due to tranny shitstorms. So I’ll not attribute it and cause problems for the person. Let the fecal hurricane make landfall on me. The gist of the post was…

This person has known many medical professionals. Based on observations and conversations, this person wondered if the “gender reassignment” surgery specialists were practicing something more along the lines of eugenics than medicine. That is, This obviously disturbed person thinks he is a she. This person should not pass on his genes just in case this mental illness has a genetic basis. I’m going to convince him to undergo estrogen treatment and surgery before he can breed.*

Since that person’s post, I’ve noticed an ever-increasing push to start prepubescent kids on puberty blockers and reassignment. It’s almost as if… Make sure they can’t breed. Catch the defectives before puberty even kicks in making it possible for them to breed.

Now combine that sort of thinking with Peter’s observation that incorrect gender-based medical treatment can cause harm or even lead to death. And that the doctors doing that absolutely must know it. Is this a passive aggressive attempt to get the flawed out of the gene pool even more permanently? Do these folks, deliberately giving “trans” the wrong medical care, think that the good they’re doing for society outweighs the harm done to the mentally ill individual?

If so, are they correct? Personally, I’m more inclined to respect individual rights than those of a nebulous “society.” But I also think individuals are responsible for their own choices. On the trannies own heads be it. But I’m interested in other people’s thoughts on this.


* I’m sorta semi-acquainted with a guy who decided to “transition” to female. He started massive doses of estrogen. And was apparently kinda shocked, kinda disappointed to discover that now he longer had any interest in sex with guys, much less women. Seemingly, no therapist advised him of such a possibility at all. Chemical castration. Considering the freaking checklists of potential problems — informed consent documents — the doctors read to me just for hip replacement, it seems “odd” that no one mentioned the possible impact on sex drive to this confused guy.

Joe Buckley

If you’re a science fiction reader, you may know about Joe Buckley. If not, he dies. A lot.

My understanding is that this started with John Ringo, who is known to plug real people into his novels. The version I heard is that one Joe Buckley asked Ringo in a forum (Baen Bar?) to use his name. Ringo accommodated him by introducing and killing the character. (Another version I’ve heard is that said Buckley left a really bad review of one of Ringo’s books, and the author retaliated by killing him off. I think the first version sounds more like Ringo.)

Anyway, other Baen authors picked up on this, and kill Buckley off in their own works. To date, poor Joe has been shot, stabbed, blown up, killed by a werewolf, turned into a zombie werewolf and fed into a giant snowblower, immersed in superheated molten metal and blown into space…

You get the idea. He’s died so many times that Baen actually put out a book about him, The Many Deaths of Joe Buckley. Joe has probably died more times than all the Star Trek red shirts combined.

So the other day, I decided to re-read a novel I hadn’t read in years, Ryk E. Spoor’s Boundary. It’d had been so long, in fact, that I’d forgotten many plot elements. Much of the book was new to me all over. The last time I’d read the book was before I was even aware of the Joe Buckley phenomenon. So when a character named Joe Buckley appeared my immediate thought was, “Darned if recall how Spoor killed him. Let’s keep reading.”

The Conservative Militia Movement Isn’t The Only One With Low Hanging Fruit

Let us count the ways Florida Man effed up.


Alleged Antifa member targeted Florida rally with a bomb; more explosives found at his house
A man in black bloc behaving suspiciously near a right-wing rally outside the Pinellas County Courthouse in Florida on Jan. 6 was apprehended by deputies after he tried fleeing on foot. Garrett James Smith, 22, was arrested and found carrying an active pipe bomb, Antifa propaganda and a written document on what to bring for his direct action. He had recently returned from Portland, Ore.


Lessee…
Black bloc garb works fine to keep from being identified as an individual in a whole mob of Pantifa rioters. Standing alone at a “right-wing rally” in Florida? Wrong camouflage for the surrounding, dude.

Acting suspiciously, then fleeing law enforcement? Pro-tip: If you haven’t actually done anything illegal yet, with no visible unlawful items, don’t give the cops an excuse to search you and find the evidence of unlawful acts.

Since the feds are carefully cultivating the ridiculous notion that Pantifa is a idea, not an organization, don’t bring along proof of your Pantifa affiliation. Seriously, a checklist? You couldn’t remember without written instructions? Maybe that action should have left to someone with a slightly higher IQ.

Painting Pantifa symbols on your incriminating garb is somewhat less than wise. Camouflage, camouflage, camouflage.

And really? You needed to stock more assembled cardboard tube bombs (i.e.- more incriminating evidence)? They’re improvised explosives; one probably should not improvise them until needed. You just added another explosive charge to your collection.

Pinellas County, FLorida is not Potland, Oregon. Expect the authorities to react somewhat differently.

But this is — apparently — a Floridian stupid enough to travel all the way to Oregon for Pantifa games there.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this moron is about to discover the concept of “bail,” in lieu of the usual Portland dismissed charges.

This guy is stupid even by Pantifa standards.

“White men defending their community”? Not so much.

An off-topic comment by The Lab Manager on a completely unrelated post by Peter Grant caught my eye this morning.

In other news, three awesome White men defending their community against a black criminal got life in prison for defending their community and for being White. It’s an anti-White justice system. It is sickening that those on the right are okay with this.

He’s referring to the sentencing of Ahmaud Arbery’s murderers. And he’s full of shit. The folks who think Arbery was caught in the commission of a crime, and that the McMichaels and Bryan were righteous angels, seem to me to fall into one of three — sometimes overlapping — categories.

1. Racists who assume Arbery got what he deserved because he’s Black.

2. Clueless people who haven’t reviewed the evidence, and watched at most a snippet of video, and get their “news” from Category 1 sources.

3. Those who do not understand law.

I won’t deign to guess into which category our pointy-haired manager falls.

This case was local to me, so I paid it close attention. I’ve written a lot about the case; you can read those link for the detailed analysis which I won’t repeat here. I’ll just summarize.

Arbery’s killers broke the living shit out of Georgia’s [then] “citizen’s arrest” law. The law required knowledge of the comission of a specific crime, not mere suspicion.

Arbery’s killers never even invoked citizen’s arrest until after the second crooked prosecutor invented it for them months later. And then changed their stories as to what crime(s) they suspected.

Arbery’s killers attempted to present “evidence” of Arbery’s criminal past, which the judge properly disallowed because at the time of the killing the perps did not know who Arbery was or his alleged past; thus, it had no bearing on their actions that day.

Arbery’s criminal past — again, which the McMichaels and Bryan didn’t know — included a conviction for firearm possession on school property* some years before, and allegations of shoplifting which led to no arrests much less convictions. His history included no burglary claims.

Arbery’s actions — entering a house under construction and leaving — were duplicated many times by White people (recorded on surveillance video), yet the McMichaels and Bryan never pursued and killed the Whites.

The owner of the house under construction is on public record stating that nothing was stolen. By anyone.

Arbery had never even been given a trespass citation, so under Georgia’s trespass law, even entering the construction site was not a crime in itself. By him or the many Whites who did the same thing.

Even the commonly seen claim that Arbery attacked Travis McMichael is disproven by the last moments of the video showing Arbery attempting to evade McMichael and Travis moving to intercept him.

The McMichaels’ and Bryan’s guilt was obvious to anyone who objectively reviewed the evidence: video, police reports, witness statements, court filings, and more. Sentencing, though, is a little trickier. If I’d been doing the sentencing, I’m not sure I’d have gone quite the same way.

These idiots are clearly a danger to the community if left on the loose. Prison time is called for. But life without parole also sentences Georgia taxpayers to paying for these scumbags’ upkeep for the rest of their lives.**

In the case of Travis McMichael, even though he actually pulled the trigger, he’s a young punk. It’s possible he could learn better, and cease to be a community threat.

Greg McMichael not only is old enough to kknow better, but he was former law enforcement*** and damned well should have known better. I just might have sentenced him harder than his trigger-pulling son. His son, after all, could have been following the lead of his father who he expected to be familiar with the law. Maybe.

Bryan… probably got about the right sentence. His actions that days were as culpable as Greg McMichael, but he may not have had the same expected level of knowledge. The potential for parole seems appropriate.

All in all, I’m glad I wasn’t the one who had to decide on the specific sentences.


width=100 align=left>
* Someone even more familiar than I with that school said that unarmed students are probably the exception.

** In the case of McMichael the elder particularly, that may be short. He is a former law enforcement officer, who helped put other criminals behind bars and killed an unarmed Black. He’ll probably have to be kept in a segregated population.

*** “Former law enforcement” is another bucket of worms. McMichael lost his POST certification twice yet continued unlawfully working as law enforcement. When this was revealed, defense attorneys gleefully chortled and rubbed their hands in anticipation of possible conviction reversals in all the cases McMichael had tainted with his unlawful participation. That fallout is still raining down.

FDA CYA?


Court REJECTS FDA Request to Release Vaccine FOIA Documents Over the Next 55 Years – Orders Agency to Turn Over Tens of Thousands of Pfizer Docs Monthly
On Thursday, a Federal Judge “soundly” rejected the FDA’s panicked request for permission to produce hundreds of thousands of documents related to Pfizer and the Covid vaccines at a rate of 500 pages per month after the agency was ordered to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request last month.

The FDA’s unbelievable request would have allowed them to take an unbelievable 55 years to produce all of the documents.


This stonewalling made it clear that one of two things happened.

Either the FDA needed 55 years to completely review the Pfizer emergency authorization (and subsequent approval), raising the question of “How in hell they first reviewed it in a three months and issued an authorization;” or…

They knew from the beginning, pre-authorization, that the pseudo-vax had extremely serious problems, authorized it anyway for whatever — bribe-related; who knows? — reason, and are trying to hide the fact now until the potentially guilty are long gone and beyond punishment.

Consider authorization vs. approval:

Emergency use authorization is only allowed for unapproved experimental preparations/procedures when there is a desperate need for, and there is no approved treatment available. EUA protects the manufacturer from — essentially — any liability because it can only be used voluntarily by someone with informed consent who understands that it is experimental and it’s at their own risk. The Pfizer-BioNTech pseudo-vax is EUA.

Approval comes after the pseudo-vax has supposedly been found to be effective and safe. Approved vaccines still come with hefty liability protections for the manufacturer. But if the manufacturer did something wrong it can still be sued for adverse effects.

When the FDA approved Comirnaty, it did something unprecedented: It approved one version of the pseudo-vax, declared it medically the same as the EUA Pfizer-BioNTech, but continued the EUA even though EUAs are supposed to go away when something gets approved. Have your cake and eat it, too, Pfizer.

Except Pfizer isn’t shipping approved Comirnaty in the US. It’s still shipping the legally different — completely liability protected — EUA version. And neither Pfizer nor the FDA want anyone to see all the data on the pseudo-vaccines for 55 years.

I expect I’d be dead by then. Likely you will, too. Along with the Pfizer and FDA execs.

My guess is that the docs the FDA is fighting to withhold, until no one can be held accountable, will show Pfizer — and FDA — wrongdoing of exactly the sort that would allow lawsuits to proceed under standard vaccine law. The FOIA stall appears to be simple CYA.

And that’s why Pfizer is only shipping the EUA pseudo-vax, and the FDA “inexplicably” allowed it to continue. Under the EUA, Pfizer remains bullet-proof, lawsuit-wise.

I wonder if they think they’re bullet bullet-proof.

A few predictions:

The initial batch of 12,000 pages will be carefully chosen to be innocuous.

The next batches will be as innocuously chosen as the FDA can manage.

As page releases go on, the data will be increasingly less innocuous, but also increasingly redacted.

The most incriminating pages will be last released, and most redacted.

We’re facing years of additional court hearings over the continual redactions.

Pfizer — and FDA — execs might still pass away before full accountability. In court.
