Today we have three Covid related stories that are all interesting for what they say about the public consciousness. Let’s start with the liberal Vox, which is very worried. They want to know: Why are so few people getting the latest Covid-19 vaccine?
The new KnotSeize have proven to be the Ukros and the Zionists....fomented and led by the US/NATOstan countries, esp. the State Dep't. neocons. BRICS+ have now sanctioned IL. Sanctions seem to have ways of backfiring, but still--this is the 85% (Global South) vs. the Global North 15%.
No matter the outcome, the optics for Uncle Schmuel & Co. are dismal.
Interesting editorial by Wall Street Journal. It’s closer to reality.

It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat
Putin has withstood the West’s best efforts to reverse his invasion of Ukraine, and his hold on power is firm. The U.S. and its allies need a new strategy: containment.
1. Erdogen and Assad were in same room due to Gaza. Wow!
2. Iran is continuing daily attacks in Syria, and U.S. has no idea how to respond. Carrier locations reflect a lack of strategy.
3. Oct 6 has moved Israeli Overton window to a permanent military solution is needed on Gaza. And the Palestinians can’t be trusted to negotiate in good faith.
4. ADL is claiming a generation problem in the U.S. for support for Israel, it’s a tick tock issue.
5. Simplicius claims Israel built up support for marginalized groups used by ngo’s, as a way to increase support for Israel. Since Jews are most marginalized due to Holocaust.
But Palestinians are seen as even more marginalized than Israelis / Jews by the Dei industrial complex.
I was reading that this morning. Lotsa insights. Re #5, I would say that the goal was to reduce the social dominance of white Christians in the West because Jews perceive them as anti-semitic. Building up what Steve Sailer calls a "coalition of the fringes"--your "marginalized groups"--is part of that strategy. Problem--it turns out that many of those groups, on a statistical basis, are far more anti-semitic than white Christians--for whatever reasons. So now you're starting to see liberal Jews expressing misgivings about the open borders that are bringing in all sorts of "marginalized" demographics, but who turn out to be statistically more anti-semitic than the average white Christian.
I was just listening to Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the ADL, saying that their polling shows that the divide in support for Israel in America is no longer Left/Right, it's Young/Old. I submit that Right stands in for religious Americans--statistically speaking--and Left for secular. The Right has largely been driven out of the mainstream of the public square, but now it turns out that the Left is trending anti-semitic. But so many of the Zionist bots haven't got the message--they insist on using negative stereotypes targeting traditionally Right groups. I think the disconnect here is that the majority of American Jewish Zionists are, by and large, secular and leftist themselves. They can't wrap their heads around what's happening. A secular left America was supposed to be a pro-Jewish America.
Funny how right wing white Christian Americans are the leading cheerleaders in support of Israel yet they are characterized as antisemitic by the left wing radical secularist American Jewish Zionists. Is it antigentilism, Mark?
Lots of changes are coming, and the longer the Gaza Conflict continues at it's current intensity, the faster they will come.
The big one is the anti Semitic Card losing clout as a way to force political conformance on DEI. The Musk and Media Matters fight is a potential tipping point. My gut feeling is nobody has had the means and will to fight back against these DEI Grifters before Musk. Trump to some degree, but he is still being labeled Hitler.
A lot of what was done in Europe was for short term political gains. Import voters to Vote Left, as the UK did. My guess is same thing is happening in the US. I'm not sure on why Europe is so anti Christian, but they seem to worship their Elites, that thing Christianity is so plebeian. Tom Luongo labels the WEF/Davos types as Commies. Probably something to do with WW1 and WW2, somehow being blamed on Religion, and the Holocaust on Christrian belief that Jews killed Christ. And I am sure during the USSR, lots of destruction of the West ideas / memes was seeded by their Communist secret service., a hidden war, to destroy the strengths of the West.
The U.S. Democratic Party has basically thrown out the Christian Vote, with the exception of Blacks. And done a great job of demonizing Christians as Obama with his comment " Clinging to religion, guns, xenophobia". Whites are a political correct enemy, that just takes the abuse.
And for whatever reason, the Democratic Elites seem to be toying with Satanism and other extreme stuff. Podestra's Brothers Statues / artwork that are, umm, cutting edge, extreme, disgusting. Words fail me. A headless status that is the same pose as Jeffrey Dahmer's victims. Or the Hillary Advisor Marina Abramovic that is now something to Ukraine, that is an admitted Satanist.
The world revolutionary council has multiple projects in the works: 1) another "plandemic" with the WHO/WEF preparing to impose massive worldwide lockdowns and toxic vaccine mandates; 2) continued genocide by Israel in its ongoing project to create "Greater Israel"; 3) WWIII between the US and Russia/China with US/Israeli attacks on Iran as the trigger; 4) sucking all the world's money into the privately-owned central banking system via ever-increasing debt. Be informed and warned. Take precautions. Resist. https://www.claritypress.com/product/our-country-then-and-now/
I would argue that #1 has turned into a major failure and that to attempt to replay it would militate against the other numbered items. For example, the Western militaries have been massively degraded not only by the current war on Russia--which they are losing in a big way--but also by the loss of preparedness caused by the Covid hoax and by DEI.
The latest news that our armed forces are begging the very same warriors they smeared, humiliated and cast out to come back and serve has to be a very ominous sign of trouble. If I was one of those whose life was upended and likely caused great personal loss of financial stability, created despair and bitterness I would not be eager to return knowing it’s only because they need warriors to fight their wars of which I disapprove. As the oppression from cancellation, silencing of dissent and public shaming remains a threat do you think these warriors will fight for a country controlled by people who hate them? I don’t think so.
Isn't that the truth, Ray. That's the sad fact and one of the most admired qualities of many of our great patriotic families, is the generations of service to an ideal and principal of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone however they define it.
Interesting info. on Azerbaijan, I figured it was just financial. I did not see the political side. Supposedly in Obama time as President, Israel was all set to bomb Iran using Azerbaijan and Obama nixed it. The Armenians in that enclave were hung out to dry by the current Davos/ WTO backed Armenian Leadership.
But, in Los Angeles County in nursing homes and rehab places, visitors and staff are required to wear masks. New rule at least in LA County. Not published directly on the website of the LA Health Dept. but it is being enforced. It's elder abuse. And what is worse, is Masks are limited impact. It's a virtue signalling. I think the California Bay Area also put in place masking in some places, but since I don't live there I don't have details.
I kid you not, I saw someone who had to be either faculty or staff at my university walking around outside with a mask and a face shield just last week. I was stunned. The regime really broke people psychologically. And while 99.9% of the rest of us aren’t showing extreme outward signs of the breakage like this person, the mental damage remains widespread and barely hidden.
Well, there is that. But I also had in mind the mental state of many of us who resisted the regime. I mean, there hasn’t been a day that goes by since 2020 when I don’t reflect on how alienated I am from many friends, family, political authorities, my place of employment, doctors, etc. It wasn’t just Covid, of course. Lots of other “hell in a hand basket” crap has gone down.
On the one hand, it’s good that I have been dis-illusioned (in the literal sense). On the other hand, it came with a certain amount of pyscho-social trauma. Never in my life have I been so tempted by despair. In this, I sense I’m not alone.
My feelings are a combination of alienation, pity, disgust, frustration, anger, and disillusionment.
I don’t have feelings of despair.
I’m avoiding approaching some friends and relatives because of my strong opinion on the B.S. My Aunt just got a booster, and I feel so much pity for her. She explained how her arm hurt for a week due to the antibodies working after the latest, sigh. A friend of mine works for a defense contractor and wife is a nurse. His sister’s work at Jpl, they went full vax mandate.
I’m trying to do mindful politics, where I’m observing what’s going on, but not letting it get to me.
I do what I can, while taking care of my family as best I can.
I've been disillusioned, too, and it's been one of the greatest gifts of my life. I listen and observe others and I shake my head at those who believe in untruths, who lash out at those of us who don't cave and believe authority, simply because they are 'authority.'
Yes, the elder seem to be the slowest group to let go of the masks in my region. These aren't necessarily neurotic people, just the most vulnerable to the non-stop fear mongering that came w/C19.
My 82yo aunt is still watching church service online. She had been an active every Sunday attendee since she was my Sunday school teacher back in the early 60s. My one goal w/in the next 6mos is to travel back home to TX & take her to church in person.
I think you should go back and read the articles you missed while on your J Tucker sabbatical. From pretty early on he has called out the BS and has always been skeptical of the vaccines. Certainly he was never for the mandates.
Either you have him confused with someone else, or you are just a troll. The following is a small sample of his writing in autumn of 2021. Even from the titles you can see he opposed the mandates and questioned the need for vaccines, especially vs natural immunity. Of course back then no one knew the real horrors associated with the damnable injections. Even so, Tucker was clearly not the vaccine fanboy you imply him to have been.
“The World Health Organization Oversold the Vaccine and Deprecated Natural Immunity”
A lot of people are beginning to shift their thinking. It is abundantly clear to more and more people think that there is something seriously wrong with our leadership under Western Oligarchs and the politicians they buy to execute their policies.
My recollection of his trajectory is at odds with yours. I remember him being one of the few people calling B.S. on the covid regime from nearly the beginning. Could you post an example?
Yes, we can hope. "Crunch time" is here. Love your work.
The new KnotSeize have proven to be the Ukros and the Zionists....fomented and led by the US/NATOstan countries, esp. the State Dep't. neocons. BRICS+ have now sanctioned IL. Sanctions seem to have ways of backfiring, but still--this is the 85% (Global South) vs. the Global North 15%.

Trust once broken, is hard to repair.
And many families had a history of military service for generations.
Isn't that the truth, Ray. That's the sad fact and one of the most admired qualities of many of our great patriotic families, is the generations of service to an ideal and principal of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone however they define it.
Maybe this the version of post WW11 where massive resettlements took place. A staggering number of Germans were repatriated.
The global hegemony seems to hate multicultural countries, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria and Iran, Sikh separatism. We'll see how Turkey fares.
