Somehow everyone forgets the latter half of Ike's Farewell Speech, part IV
"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. "
Part of the massaging of public opinion is the cultivation by the managerial class of 'artificial negativity', basically astroturf pressure groups that kick up a fuss about non-issues and 'pressure' politicians and administrators to make the changes the managerial class already wanted to implement. Those groups are always generously funded from the public purse, wink wink.
The result of this is that they've blinded themselves to actual signals coming from the populace. It doesn't help that they use censorship to attenuate those signals - so they can't hear the real signal, and hear the false signal (that they generated) instead. Which is how you get a ruling class that loses the plot as completely as ours does, and starts claiming that democracy is undemocratic.
Spot on. Our elites are like brainiac students pulling all-nighters to study and get great grades, but not eating anything except Ding Dongs and Mountain Dew and never getting any physical exercise or sunlight. They look good on paper, but take them outside and they're immediately overmatched by the simplest real-world problems. And when their bodies give them feedback suggesting they are very unhealthy, they just take more Adderall and bury that information. All that matters to them is the virtual world in which they appear to be doing well. But at some point, they will learn their brain needs a healthy body to function well in the real world; so too these virtual elites will find that they are helpless without the regular people, whom they've marginalized and written off, but who actually make everything work.
It really is a great grift, aint it? All you need do is get a few of your people in govt positions where they can hand out jobs and or money. Then it's a self replicating monster where ever greater numbers are steered toward jobs that deepen and widen the grift. All these junk college degrees in CRT etc.. are just badges to let the grifters recognize each other.
The power elites demolished the old traditions that were based on superstition and promised a science-based technocracy, but after their repeated failures to accurately predict much of anything, and after seeing them bungle their way through one crisis after another where they manage only to make cures that are worse than the underlying disease, you can't help but wonder if we can get our old traditions back. At least they worked. The traditionalist leaders of history may have had arguments and worldviews that now seem primitive, but at least they got the job done.
I guess I obliterated my first paragraph (musta been too long), lo siento.
I began my career as a disciplinary prosecutor for the Florida Bar (the accused lawyer(s) didn't have shit to say - it was all on me. The Health Dept hired me as my next employment, and I watched the jets fly into the Twin Towers buildings on TV. The following week, an Anthrax package was mailed to the AMI Bldg in Palm Beach County FL, and that week I became the Bio-T lawyer for the state of Florida. The package had a charm in it - a bracelet, to ensure the opener got a good nose full of Anthrax (a bacterium not a virus). It was my first case. I became the state expert on Quarantine & Isolation law, wrote White Papers, advice pieces, a law review article on it. Still got fired, later, when all the sheep thought we were somehow ‘safe.’ We’re not.
In 2020 I was working in a different state agency law office when the 15 day lockdown began, and was scolded for not wearing a mask in a 7-story building where fewer than 20 employees (mostly mailroom) were working – everyone else was sent home. I began reading extensively, since I had little to do, seemed like the entire country had all gone home. Came across a paper on the WHO African River Blindness Project with ivermectin as the treatment – “The Ivermectin African Enigma,” 22 Oct 2020, Colombia Medica, principal author Guerrero – which concluded that the 1995-2015 APOC program in 19 participating countries compared to 35 non-participating countries had significantly lower COVID infection rates and lower death rates. Hmm.
I flatly rejected the recommendations of the Health Dept, the CDC, the WHO, my own farcical physician, and the entire Democrat lie machine, and I am healthy.
(continuing) I don't believe ANYTHING the government says, other than their threats to do me injury.
I had treated outdoor dogs monthly with ivermectin to kill larval heartworms for years - much safer than the major kills done by veterinarians, and far less expensive. I got intrigued with the ivermectin angle, which I have also used on my horses since its introduction on the market, and ultimately found the FLCCC protocols, which I view as the gift from a beneficent Divinity. I laugh at these jackasses who disparage ivermectin as a horse paste - they're right about the taste but typically stupid in thinking that's what people like me use. We don't. We use liquid 1% injectable ivermectin, but mix it in salty or oily soups to screen the bitter taste. I use it as a preventive, following the protocol used in the hospitals of Uttar Pradesh, which treats the nurses working the COVID floors every two weeks - I've never been to India or to Uttar Pradesh state, but in my imagination it is one of the filthiest places in the world, and there is a measure of real safety in that knowledge. Somehow we will make it past the affliction of this mentally enfeebled, staggering SOB in the White House and his gangster government. I don't know how, but we will. One way or another.
I'm glad you have gotten a good result! The material I use for myself and the dogs is Liquid Injectable 1% Ivermectin (usually generic, as the inventors' patent long ago expired). In fact, the African River Blindness Project was funded by the World Bank, which provided the ivermectin tablets used in the African villages - the microfilaria are spread by the bite of flies that lay their eggs in swiftly flowing water.
I used a canine weight table to calculate my own dosage. IMPO, so long as the government
and the Health Gangsters insist on booster after booster after booster, the virus will continue to mutate. Therefore the virus will be with us for a very long time, and I personally view the prospect of ivermectin paste as something to be avoided, But that's just me. Good luck in the future, you're on the right track. The government is on the wrong track.
There's a lot of people gonna go to Hell over this. These doctors know early treatment saves lives, but they don't do that. They wait until the patient is dying, and Remdesivir does not work effectively then, and they know it. I'm sorry you lost a family member to these callous killers.
"The Left" slithered out of the slime under their collective rocks in 2016 to stridently, relentlessly, loudly proclaim "the end of democracy". They maintained that half of America voting for the "wrong candidate" was proof positive that the end of democracy was nigh.
Then we allowed them to destroy the mechanisms that ensured a meaningful voting process, and replace it with blatantly fraudulent balloting system that ensured the "right" candidate(s) would "win" in 2020.
Then we allowed them to commit possibly the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity. The covid scamdemic will probably go down in history as the single greatest con ever conceived, or executed.
WE have created the insane world we live in. WE allow it to happen. WE have stood aside, or even enabled, these exemplars of ineptitude as they assumed control of of our education, institutions, health care, and government.
There is still hope. The Left will, as always, self destruct. The 50% of the country that voted for sanity will, (I hope), prevail. After all, we are the ones who raise the food, and generate power, and make things, and fix things. But it's going to take a while. And be messy. Very messy. A lot of folks are going to hurt - badly. Like it says at the top of the page, "Tell Me How It Ends"
The Left doesn’t self destruct, saner leftists than Robespierre and Trotsky kill them, but that saved exactly no one ever besides the winner of their internal power struggles.
Or directly that is NO HOPE for the rest of us. None.
Hope for the others is best summed by: “Today half of Spain decides to live- the Right Half.” - Franco.
There’s NO HOPE in waiting for the problem to solve itself, that is the hope of many dead French, the genocide in the Vendee , the dead Ukrainians of the Holodmor, the dead Irish of Gorta Mor, the dead Zeks, the dead Cambodians, we can go on at length.
Passive people won’t make it, and won’t deserve it if they slither through.
I believe their shitshow is falling apart and the only people listening to them are kindred spirits. In the words of King Solomon "If you dig a pit, you will fall in; if you start a stone rolling, it will roll back on you."
Yes, we are! And to your very last sentence, Amen!
How to we get the "I don't want to be bothered/I'm afraid they'll put my name on a list/That's never gonna happen," people to help out? They're the ones I have the most contact with. (I want to shake them!)
It wont happen until people really don't have anything left to lose. There's just too many people still too cozy and employed and fed. That's changing.
In the meantime we should be knitting together perfectly innocuous local groups-- book clubs, bible studies, hobby groups...whatever. The point is to simply connect as many people locally as possible. We absolutely must develop networks of trustworthy, like minded people LOCALLY. When the SHTF those networks will be gold.
I think we just have to start w our neighbors first. If you know anyone who had a Trump sign out in 2020, it's safe to initiate.. something. Anything. A beer club, a book club, a farming club etc.. If you dont have anyone like that in the neighborhood, look to the town, local churches. If you still can't find anyone, give serious consideration to the possibility that you live in the wrong area and need to relocate. We dont need perfect people, just ones who aren't Regime stooges.
Birx didn't always know the vaccines would not work. She's just enough of an egotistical stooge to believe having lied to the public and her boss is better than having been wrong. Her and the rest of the "experts" are so fragile any question becomes an untenable challenge. Knowledge or actually being good at something means nothing to them. They are celebrities and they crave public adoration, it's the only thing that gives meaning to their vacuous lives.
I will be happy to go to the wilderness for the next 10 days and forget we are led by people who are so convinced of their superiority even their repeated failure looks to them like brilliance.
This is the 'OLD IGNORANT FARMER". Chris Bray - you make my mind hurt. I enjoy nearly all of your posts. You seem to have an insight into the 'malworks' of our current situation. Your writing style is direct enough. HOWEVER - I have a WARNING for you along with a CHALLENGE. The warning is. that you must become more than acquainted with a group of 'antivaxxing, redneck scofflaws' for your mental stability. Now the challenge: There are two main streets to the Cov19 situation. You keep following the street that says "Medical folks and Public leaders are doing their best with the Cov19 problem, they just can't seem to understand all of the nuances". It's the other street you keep missing. Take the next 48 hours; eliminate all thoughts that the establishment is trying to cure and help people, and for two days spend your energy trying to find all of the facts, which start as far back as 100 years ago, that prove that this is all a Machiavelian plan to depopulate the earth of the "undesireable types' so that the "truly good folks" can run this planet the way it 'should be run'. They started in Africa with a vaxx for tetanus that had an element added that caused infertility. But the nosey Catholic church and some others stuck their nose in back in the 90's and put a damper on that. So they needed something that everyone would accept, even as deaths started to mount. Eliminate the old and decrepit first, then the folks who are approaching that phase through bad health, bad habits or sickness, then the folks who are silly enough to stand up against the tide, etc.etc. That is an outline of the beginnings of your challenge. Flesh it out as only you can. Then you will have your consoling group of redneck friends to help you through your grief.
I've read in more than one place that the percentage of psychopaths in positions of power is much greater than in the general population, the implication being that they tend to gravitate to those positions, rather than being educated into them. But who knows. Probably some of both.
He who does the stocking and flogging first, loses everything they own or prize including careers and spouses, etc., so yeah...scary. I wish it could happen too.
In other news, I'm 100% certain that I've been spending too much time staring at a computer screen, so I'll be mostly offline today.
Gotta get that wind in your hair and scan the horizon once in a while to get your bearings.

Good analogy!
It really is a great grift, aint it? All you need do is get a few of your people in govt positions where they can hand out jobs and or money. Then it's a self replicating monster where ever greater numbers are steered toward jobs that deepen and widen the grift.

I have the injectable ivermectin for pigs. But use it in our Guinea fowl water.
Is that the kind you’re speaking of?
We used the horse paste. Bitter, but who cares. It worked.

I agree I was hesitant about the paste. But desperate measures were needed.
My bro in law was murdered in hospital w Remdesivir and Ventilators.
There was zero chance of going to the ER.
There's a lot of people gonna go to Hell over this. These doctors know early treatment saves lives, but they don't do that. They wait until the patient is dying, and Remdesivir does not work effectively then, and they know it. I'm sorry you lost a family member to these callous killers.
Thank you. It was 3/2021. Drs absolutely knew by than, if ever they didn’t.
It was murder for money.
Honeybeehealth.com has the human tablets available. Overpriced but pills are nice.
Thank you

Loved you on Tucker Carlson Today and am glad I have found you here too. The stupid bus should be called the "struggle bus"!
I believe their shitshow is falling apart and the only people listening to them are kindred spirits. In the words of King Solomon "If you dig a pit, you will fall in; if you start a stone rolling, it will roll back on you."
It's all performative now, devoid of substance.
100 years ago maybe science could've helped out, but it has since been gamed to the point where it's really hard to know what to trust even there.
We are a Constitutional Republic not A Pyramid Scheme Democracy.
Democracy is a elite politicians ruling over us plebs at the bottom.
The continued mantra of Democracy is nothing more than brainwashing.
We Are A Republic.
But are losing it quickly
Yes, we are! And to your very last sentence, Amen!

I don't disagree, however, how do you find these people? I met one in my town, by chance, I've never seen him again.
I think we just have to start w our neighbors first. If you know anyone who had a Trump sign out in 2020, it's safe to initiate.. something. Anything. A beer club, a book club, a farming club etc..

Losing? Lost. We are now a oligarchic technocracy, or just a olain old Kleptocracy.
I’m holding hope for a rebuild.
I get ya. But it's hard to rebuild until we embrace just how bad things are now.
That is a fact.
Birx didn't always know the vaccines would not work. She's just enough of an egotistical stooge to believe having lied to the public and her boss is better than having been wrong.

Dissolving Illusions; Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk.
Excellent book to get over the hump of the medical psychopaths are innocent of knowing
Its just power
Politics is Power
Mind you, yes its unthinkable to them that they lose power
Democracy exists to serve its betters.
Sparta needed its Helots, Expertopia needs its masses to be condescended to-
Democracy better do what its told, or else.
And mind you;
Politics makes a poor religion
Power a poor god
Government a poor church
But that’s all they know.
It is unconscious.
Birx probably feels no shame.
If she is capable of shame, but the odds against all these people being actual clinical sociopaths are too high. No, this is EDUCATED behavior.
They have done what the system said all their lives and always gotten rewarded, the Hamster wheel mind at work.
(Which points to 19A, btw, ne me frego if people dislike it).
'the odds against all these people being actual clinical sociopaths are too high.'
Not so sure about that.
I’m meaning literally born sociopaths
They were conditioned into this, it’s called Education
Everything about them is fake
Even being sociopaths
I've read in more than one place that the percentage of psychopaths in positions of power is much greater than in the general population, the implication being that they tend to gravitate to those positions, rather than being educated into them. But who knows. Probably some of both.
Let’s shame them in Stocks, w public floggings.
See if we can restore a bit of humiliation in their soulless carcasses
He who does the stocking and flogging first, loses everything they own or prize including careers and spouses, etc., so yeah...scary. I wish it could happen too.
