Who should I meet the other day in the pesticides department of my neighborhood hardware store but my old pal Artie Schopenhauer.
“How ya dune, Artie?” I said to him.
“Could be better, Allie,” he said, adding that he couldn’t find what he was looking for.
“And what might that be?” I asked him, knowing that Artie had a longstanding habit of shopping in supermarkets and riding public transit vehicles.
“I’m looking for the giant economy-sized aerosol cans of Noise Neutralizer and Feminist Repellant, guaranteed to repel Feminoids, Noiseniks, airheads, gigglers, and other pests,” Artie said. “See those gaps on the shelves? That means they’re all sold out. I hope they get a new shipment in soon. I couldn’t survive more than a few days without them. They are two of the few remaining threads by which my existence hangs in the balance.”
“I take it that the Noiseniks and Feminist Harpies have been annoying you lately?” I said to him.
“Annoying me!?!!! Ha, ha, ha. That’s a good one! Foolish American men swallowing the poison called Feminism have given me many good laughs. You and I cannot alter that suicidal trend. But in the practical realm of daily life, we can try to repel the Feminoid beasts and neutralize the horrid noises they emit.
“I can remember a time—you may not believe this—when a body could shop for groceries without being assaulted every three minutes by recordings of Feminoid voices exuding LOVE AND COMPASSION and reciting Mommyisms like “WEAR YOUR MASK” and “KEEP YOUR DISTANCE” and “THANK YOU FOR LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.” (more…)
FROM Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville:
I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. I am trying myself to choose an expression which will accurately convey the whole of the idea I have formed of it, but in vain; the old words “despotism” and “tyranny” are inappropriate: the thing itself is new; and since I cannot name it, I must attempt to define it.
I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world. The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is as a stranger to the fate of all the rest—his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind; as for the rest of his fellow-citizens, he is close to them, but he sees them not—he touches them, but he feels them not; he exists but in himself and for himself alone; and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.

A BRITISH father of six children responds to a police officer who arrives at his house to enforce lockdown regulations. This is awesome! A must-watch.

Wallet? Check. Water? Check. COVID-19 test?
The pre-concert checklist for music fans is about to get more complicated, as Ticketmaster is planning to check the coronavirus vaccination status of concert-goers prior to shows once a treatment is approved, Billboard reported Wednesday. [Source] (more…)
THE mainstream news never mentions when reporting on daily Covid cases that many or most of the reported “cases” have no symptoms and that the test is extremely unreliable.
“[T]he vast majority of ‘cases’ reported are not actually ‘cases’.
“Classically speaking, a ‘case’ of a disease is someone who displays symptoms. There is a huge difference between being infected, and being a ‘case’. That’s why infection fatality rate (IFR) and case fatality rate (CFR) are two different numbers.
“However for COVID19 they have abandoned this distinction, referring to every single positive test as a ‘case’, despite the fact the vast majority never exhibit any symptoms.” (Source)
See this post from August. This is a scam of monumental proportions.
LANCE Johnson at Natural News writes that the Army General in charge of Operation Warp Speed has admitted that the vaccines were stockpiled before the FDA ever approved them. The corona vaccine program was obviously in the works for a long time:
The largest looting operation of the year had to be the federal government’s $20+ billion “Operation Warp Speed” vaccination program, a taxpayer-funded gambit that promised a safe and effective covid-19 vaccine before the 2020 election. Because the emergency vaccine program did not seek consent from American taxpayers, the final distribution plan will similarly coerce compliance and ignore any vestige of individual rights that the American people are still clinging onto.

WINTER WATCH predicted in October of last year the election fraud of 2020: Research at Argonne National Laboratories revealed that a single individual with physical access to a voting machine, can install inexpensive, readily-available electronic components to manipulate its functions. Winter Watch predicts the 2020 presidential election will make the 2000 chads debacle look like a piker — and it will be deliberately and malevolently arranged that way. It is likely to be manufactured to be close. The perfect storm. Election technology will be full-court third world. More information on election technology is in its repost linked above.
"WE USED to think that liberals wanted to liberate the people from government constraints, a fundamental hands-off approach. American liberals long since forgot this insight: it's no longer about leaving people alone, it's about correcting their thought crimes before they manifest themselves in the world. Still, the liberals of today pay lip service to this notion before they pivot 180 degrees—and start listing activities that it is now the government’s business to decide: what you wear in public; where you go; what you think; what you trade, with whom, and where; ensuring that you don't unknowingly spread germs around. "The pandemic brought out the worst in people and revealed clearly what was always simmering under the surface: an innate desire to dominate others. To put them in their place, to shove nonsensical ideas down their throats, to dress them up in paltry gear, to ridicule and attack those who deviate from the One True Government Faith. The pandemic showed who truly supported and respected the values that others may hold—and who would rather give in to the temptation of power, who would override the faulty actions among our inferior plebs." -- Joakim Book, "Lockdowners and the Desire to Dominate"
FOR those of us who believe face masks are harmful -- physically, mentally, socially and spiritually -- the Biden "victory" is potentially good news. The face mask has now become a political symbol like never before. Joe and Kamala love it. Their faces were rarely seen on the campaign trail. They probably even wear masks to bed. And they have threatened to mandate masks nationally. Why do people wear face masks? They wear them because they want to; it's as simple as that. They wear them because they believe they are medically justified; they are sincerely concerned about harming or offending others; they trust government health officials; they feel pressured to wear one or maybe they would like to signal their virtue. In other words, people wear masks because they want to wear them. I am not critical of individuals for simply doing this. I am not attacking individuals who want to wear a mask. I am critical of the government and businesses for pretending they can force everyone to wear a mask and for punishing those who do not wish to wear them. The government has nothing beyond threats to make millions of people don a medical device. The Covid regime is based on bluff. The government is not going to put people in jail by the tens of thousands over the issue. Only the most blatant distortion of the Constitution could uphold a mask mandate in court when there…
TERESA Stanfill Benns has written a piece about the presidential election at her website Betrayed Catholics. She draws on her experience as a newspaper reporter in Colorado during a disputed election. "The county I covered was a longtime Democrat stronghold. Republicans and Independents were not held in high esteem. It was a good ole boy and girl pat-my-back-and-I’ll-pat-yours arrangement that had worked well for quite some time, and the powers that be saw no need to change course. It was that way then and it is that way now, both in that county and in many places nationally. Democrats also controlled the irregular elections held in a small town in that same county. I cannot change the facts or deny what I saw with my own eyes. Not that Republicans are guiltless, as the election article link above explains. But for this time and this election, fueled by a hatred deliberately exacerbated by the media and Democrat politicians, they had both the opportunity and the motive to flip this election." Benns suggests a new election in contested states with paper ballots supervised by the National Guard. She makes interesting connections between presidential vote fraud and the subversion of the Catholic Church through a false papal election in 1958.

I read some of your recent points on voting and am wondering if you are familiar with Catholic theology on the matter.
It was recently laid out here and here.
I am not interested in debating this as Catholic teaching on the matter is clear and it is that to which we ought to submit, without question. I am simply passing this along out in the event you were unaware. (more…)
