Illinois Tightens Privacy Measures. . . a Little

Specifically,

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.)

*smh*

It’s Really Just a Slothful Willful Ignorance

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.”

Scaremongering is Affected by ALL Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind Organs

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.

Remember. . .

Paranoia is a point of view. YOU are paranoid, as far as the folks who are out to get you are concerned. *heh*

Condition yellow. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

January 20, 2021: A Day That Will Live in Infamy

Recessional

~ Rudyard Kipling, 1897 (though could as easily be 2021 and re: The Fall of the Republic as concerning Britain at the end of the 19th Century)

God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word—
Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord!

Be of Good Cheer

Take heart! Rome wasn’t destroyed in a day.

Always Look on the Bright Side

You know, there is an up side to the stolen election. Finally, no one who has more brains than a kumquat and better morals than a rabid mink can deny that the Dhimmicraps are utterly and completely morally bankrupt. No one (and I do mean no one) who is even remotely honest and ethical can from this point forward ever support another Dhimmicrap. Nope. Not one. Period. Anyone who does classes themselves as completely and totally without any decency whatsoever. Period.

Harsh? Not my fault.

Mischief Managed?

Well, not quite. More “wood chucking.” Sorta-kinda-almost “good enough” fitness watch buzzed me to say I had been at my optimal heart rate for 20 minutes. *meh* What does it know? Five minutes later, *bzzz* “Relax.” Yeh, says you. A few minutes later: dizzy. OK, OK, I give in.

At least it was nice weather for it. High 40s, still ice on the wood, etc. Maybe this afternoon will be time for more “wood chucking.”

Why I Am Grateful That I Do Not Have Any “Constitutional Rights”

(A different kind of Thanksgiving post)

“Constitutional rights” implies that rights emanate from the government. They do not. No form of government anywhere, at any time, can or could grant rights. We have natural, inherent rights that the Constitution supposedly obligates the federal government to protect. As the seminal document of our country explicitly and correctly states,

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. . . ” Government’s only legitimate excuse for existence is to protect those rights. When it does not, it delegitimizes itself.

I believe this is an important distinction, one that should never be compromised or blurred in any way. So-called “rights” granted by a government are nothing but licenses and can be revoked. As Jefferson further said of but one inherent right, so all:

“The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time. The hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them.”

The “hand of force” is ONLY ever legitimately deployed in defense of inherent rights, never in attacking them, for attacking inherent rights = attacking the very lives of those to whom they belong. BTW, this is key in understanding the libertarian–lowercase “l”–non-aggression principle: initiating violence against another is wrong. Responding with violence to someone (or some organization) that is violating one’s rights or the rights of another is not wrong; it is just.

So, given the tendency of governments everywhere toward anarcho-tyrrany, or just outright tyranny, I am grateful that it is God and not governments Who grants us our rights.
