Defining Terms

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 the Headline and Immediately Thought, “Democrat, right?”

Right.

Parents, 12-year-old say Abby Broyles verbally ‘accosted’ kids at Valentine’s party

And, filed under “In vino veritas,” this lil pull quote:

“According to multiple accounts of the evening, Broyles became intoxicated and spoke derogatorily to some of the girls. She allegedly called one girl an “acne fucker,” which prompted the girl to leave the room in tears. Broyles allegedly called another girl a “Hispanic fucker” and another a “judgy fucker.”

“At one point, Broyles allegedly vomited into a laundry basket and onto one girl’s shoes.”

Yes, Syntax Matters

*sigh* It’s as though some folks have a complete disconnect between their brains and any expression of language. “Every task does not need to be completed” ? “Not every task needs to be completed.” The first is the equivalent of “NO task needs to be completed,” as in none of them, zero, zilch, naught. The second =~= “Only some tasks need to be completed.” People who say/write the first when meaning the second have more than a few screws loose.

“As it was in the beginning/Is to-day official sinning. . . “

I keep running into folks who celebrated those “mostly peaceful” violent 2020 riots who view the “Lego Insurrection” as having been an existential threat to the nation. These are also folks who, for the most part, think there was an election, not a “fraud of monstrous size” (TY, RK), on Nov 3 last year. The graphic here represents a DOWNPLAYING of the BLM riots and still does not express the evil of a Capitol cop murdering an unarmed woman, but it’s a start. And, IMO, not NEARLY enough emphasis is given to the fact that Dhimmicrap politicians, both DC pols and nationwide, generally encouraged and enabled the violent rioters in their destruction of property and lives.

Adds to Your “Privacy Routine”

Nuke Cortana, Alexa, Siri, and any such “digital assistants” within one’s power from orbit. Report robocalls to appropriate authorities and follow up on complaints lodged. Salt the earth from whence they sprang. Lather, rinse, repeat. 😉

Oh, and “if you hear, ‘This call is being recorded for training and quality control,'” but do–eventually–get a live person on the line, tell THEM you are recording the call. . . in case you need to take legal action later. You might be surprised how many terminate the call. That’s fine. If you initiated the call, just call back and escalate your call. Firmly. The Internet is a funny critter. You can too track down and call someone in authority in a company that has irritated you. Do so. Repeatedly, if necessary, until you achieve a resolution you can live with. Make it known that you appreciate good behavior and abhor–and will appropriately “punish”–bad behavior

And, as above, lather, rinse, repeat.

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.

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!

It’s Not Always Enough By Itself, But. . .

Yeh, sometimes it’s enough to put me off a writer: misuse of the reflexive pronoun “myself” when “me” is correct. Some subliterates think it sounds classy or something, I guess, when all it really does is shout, “I don’t know what I’m doing!”

Here: a tip for beginners with English, or those English majors who skipped taking Remedial English, and managed to graduate nearly illiterate.

BTW, the same morons tend to misuse the objective case “I” where a subjective case pronoun is called for. (Yeh, again: they probably think it sounds “classy.” It doesn’t.)

No, It Is Not Correct

I have seen “one of the only” used correctly exactly once. All other uses of it have been nothing other than evidence of stupidity. Yes, stupidity.

only: without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively

Now, admittedly, IF “one of the only” is followed by or includes a qualifier AND eliminates the article “the” (which ALSO signifies singularity, unless a group is clearly designated) bi>like “one of only five,” then the stupid phrase is transmogrified into something that has some sense to it. Apparently, pre-Internet publishers agree with me:

Yeh: the Internet. *sigh* Enstupiating the world by empowering Ortega’s “mass-man.”
