"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
Chicken or egg? Do all “Vlads” think alike or did Vladimir Mordor learn this one from Vladimir Poutine? Or did they both just attend the same “Bloodthirsty Tyrant” conference?
N.B. Ukrainian “Vlads” apparently think differently. But then, they are “Volods,” so there’s that.
Dhimmi: person living in a region overrun by Muslim conquest who pays “protection money” to the Islamic extortion racket in order to maintain a mere semblance of natural rights regularly abrogated by tyrannical Muslim rule.
Taxpayer: a person living in a region overrun by statist anarcho-tyrannists who pays “protection money” to a “gummint” extortion racket in order to maintain a mere semblance of natural rights regularly abrogated by statist anarcho-tyrannists.
Saw this analogy elsewhere: Broccoli (Trump) or dog crap (CwaZy (pervy, racist) UnKa JoE, ZOMBIE POOPY-PANTS President in Name Only). Dhimmicraps prefer eating dog crap. Chow down, Dhimmicraps. You have a full plate of it, now.
“Shortly after the police mounted the charge and trampled the crowd, the Ottawa Police claimed via Twitter someone threw a bicycle at one of the horses. Video of the incident shows it wasn’t a bicycle, and it was not thrown, it was the mobility walker of the deceased victim as she was trampled by the horses.”
Do not EVER visit Ottawa, folks, at least not until the entire police department is scrubbed from top to bottom, and the city’s government razed to the ground and rebuilt from scratch. Sure, there MAY be A decent cop left in the OPD, but if so, he’s not all THAT decent, because he’s still a part of the OPD. I do not care what excuses they come up with (“No one was seriously hurt” meaning “Not one of US!” and “That mobility walker was a bicycle, and that disabled old lady threw it at a cop.”), the entire force should be disbanded and replaced with decent human beings.
How dumb do people have to be to call SpyWear™ “Smart Clothes”? Sure, it doesn’t HAVE to be that way, but unless folks make sure their data is kept locally, more than just air-gapped from the web, their private info. . . isn’t. I do use a fitness tracking device that coordinates with an old phone that is disconnected from _any_ network (including my local network). I can evaluate the data collected, so I get the benefits w/o “sharing” my data.
BTW, yeh, all the apps I have on that old phone do gripe at me, wanting network access, when they fail to phone home. I just smile and enjoy those gripes. (And yeh, I don’t just rely on disconnecting it from my network. I have it blocked at my router. 🙂 )

Illinois Passes Bill to Prohibit Warrantless Data Collection from Household Electronic Devices
Headed to the governor’s desk.
While it’s good they addressed this, folks who use these massive security breach devices (Alexa, Ring, Echo, and other IoT devices) are already being spied on by others who are just as nefarious as government agencies. Perhaps not as powerful as government agencies, but just as interested in jamming folks up in their own ways. (“Oh, but you use FarceBook.” Yeh, but when I do, FarceBook thinks I am hundreds of miles or more away from my location, among [many] other obfuscation measures.)

Confusion about personal pronouns has abounded among the lazy and willfully ignorant (the most pernicious form of stupidity) for much longer than the current “gender fluidity” stupidity. A typical construction for someone stuck at a VERY low English fluency (let alone literacy) level, and yet I see it time and again in books, passed over by illiterate proofreaders and editors goes something like this: “We have done something bigger than you and I.” Really? Take the magic “and” as well as the other person out: “We have done something bigger than I” just looks and sounds stupid doesn’t it? It doesn’t get any less stupid looking and sounding by adding a magic “and.” Nope, “We have done something bigger than you and ME.”
Yeh, Epoch Times attempts to position itself as a reliable, truthful reporting organ, but when it comes to the Wuhan Flu. it’s as much (or in some cases worse) an example of irresponsible scaremongering as any other Hivemind organ. Sample headline/”report”:
At Least 9,245 Americans Tested Positive for COVID-19 After Vaccination; 132 Dead
First off, since over 202 million doses of the vaccines* have been administered, and at least 100 million folks in the US have been fully vaccinated*, fewer than 10,000 cases among the “vaccinated” is far, far FEWER than the predicted (by experimental data) openly-stated stats for cases among vaccinated* folks. In fact, the best case predicted scenario would see 5% of the vaccinated* contract the disease, and rounding up the 9,245 reported cases to 10,000 would yield a percentage of 0.01%. Scary *yawn* And the number of reported deaths among such cases? 0.000132%. *BIG YAWN* Sure, those are deaths of real human beings, but the numbers are SERIOUSLY UNscary.
And who among those who have not been living under a rock (or have been drinking the Hivemind Koolaid) believes the numbers anyway?
“The numbers are an undercount because the CDC’s surveillance system is passive and relies on voluntary reporting from state health departments.”
*throws the bullshit flag* If the numbers are to be believed, a nation with 4.3% of the world population has suffered more than 20% of the world’s total COvid-19 deaths, and THAT, my friends, makes the numbers–all of them reporting on Covid-19, not merely questionable, but ludicrously so. The odds are very good that the numbers of cases of Covid-19 among those vaccinated* represent as huge an OVERCOUNT as the massively ludicrous overcount of Covid-19 deaths in the US. In fact, the overcount of US Covid-19 deaths approaches the level of monstrous fraud, unless numbers mean absolutely nothing.
*BTW, according to all the various legal and clinical definitions of “vaccine” only the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) offering is an actual vaccine. The other two with EUAs in the US are actually therapies, but since government and Hivemind propagandists rely on citizen illiteracy and stupidity, Merriam Webster has changed its definition of “vaccine” along with all the other words it’s changed meanings on to suit the Hivemind.
Paranoia is a point of view. YOU are paranoid, as far as the folks who are out to get you are concerned. *heh*

Yep, the White House website is missing The 1776 Report (NOTE: pdf file), as of this morning.
The Dhimmicraps do NOT want folks to be historically literate. (Real literacy is a threat to all statists, anyway, but historical literacy is especially threatening.)
