Quiet Monday after a slow Sunday, punctuated by explosions. About tsars, bioweapons and thought crimes.

20220228 latest news

Mayor Klitschko imposed a strong curfew all day yesterday.  Anybody out in the street could be shot as a suspected spy.  We stayed home and did some yardwork in the lovely early spring weather as we listened to rockets hit the more populated areas surrounding our little patch of countryside.  I got the greenhouse and the plot beside it turned over. 

Two books from early 19th century French noblemen  remain amazingly fresh today.  Alexis de Tocqueville wrote "Democracy in America" in the early 1830s.  He anticipated many of the problems of today.  The Marquis de Custine wrote "Letters from Russia" a couple of years later.  My review includes several quotes.  Here is a teaser, discussing the Tsar:

"There is not a single man on earth today who enjoys and exercises such power: not in Turkey, not even in China. Imagine the craft of Western governments, tested in lengthy exercise, put to the service of a society that is still young and savage; the departments of our civil service assisting an Oriental despotism with all the experience of modern times; European discipline supporting Asiatic tyranny; the police dedicated to concealing barbarism in order to perpetuate, instead of eradicating it; disciplined brutality and cruelty, and European military tactics serving to fortify the policies of Oriental courts. Imagine a half-savage people who have been regimented, without being civilized: then you will understand the moral and social state of the Russians. "

I got some rather strong pushback on the suggestion that there might be biological warfare labs here in Ukraine. Whackadoodle is the polite term one of you uses.

A catalog of my thought crimes.  In case you didn't guess

You forgot to mention all the other things you are wrong about.  A race war in the US (for the most part the races get along fine here - they sure do in my life) civil disorder taking over all of the US Cities, a successful uprising in Canada (what uprising? the truckers are cleared from Ottawa and Canada has an 81% vaccination rate, the truckers are coming to DC too, big whoop it’ll be a joke and if they have any brief success their lives and livelihoods will be made miserable by the authorities just like the January 6th insurrectionists lives are being made miserable), the immigrants threat (what threat?) They just want to do the jobs Americans won’t do.  A depopulation conspiracy related to vaccines when there is no rational motive for pharmaceutical companies to kill the customers they make their profits off of.  The unvaccinated are dying from Covid at a rate 20X of the vaccinated (serious adverse reactions to the vaccines exist but they are rare, the vaccines do not cause magnetism,  have graphene particles put in them that respond to 5G and Bill Gates does not want to track me nor does he care where I go, nor does he want to kill me because then I can’t buy his products which he does want me to do).   Guess what? None of it makes sense.  The climate movement won’t die because unfortunately the climate problem is getting worse not better and people can see it with their own eyes that it is human caused.  And now you expect us to believe there are a bunch of Fauci controlled bio weapons labs to that Dr Evil can do whatever nefarious work he intends to do.  Your batting average is pretty low Graham which brings into question your overall credibility.  Most of your readers with half a brain know this.

And, by the way, no way there are biolabs.  The bluechecks say so.  No need even to check it out yourself.  The experts have spoken.  Just ask Dr. Fauci. 

Well, I still have a few readers of my deplorable unacceptable observations.  Meanwhile, please curb your curiosity.  Don't check things out for yourselves.  Don't read my Amazon reviews of books on climate science.  Don't read my reviews about books on human evolution, evolutionary psychology, physical brain differences among human populations, and genomics.  Everything you need to know they taught you in grammar school CRT and 1619.  In sex ed classes they taught you about the banana and the rubber thing and how to choose an appropriate bathroom.  You are set. 

By the way, my profile on Amazon no longer leads to all of my reviews.  Write and I'll send either the links or the reviews themselves.

I don't make stuff up. I don't usually watch Alex Jones, although despite some obvious blunders he is right more than he is wrong. I don't watch Joe Rogan or Fox News. In fact, I don't watch anybody regularly! I read.

With regard to the biolabs, it is generally conceded – though not by everybody – that Covid 19 came out of a laboratory. It is also widely known that Anthony Fauci funded that laboratory. It is equally widely known that Barack Obama tried to end the funding and Fauci found a way around it through Peter Daszak and the Bio Health Alliance.

From that it would not be a stretch to imagine that the United States might have been doing similar things in countries other than China and the United States. There have been persistent claims to that effect. Just within the last short while I have noted them here, here, and here. More will surely show up.

I don't resent being accused of making things up. Dogmatists tend to claim that about anybody they disagree with. All I can say is, they are wrong.  I cite my sources. In this case I mentioned that it was an overheard conversation in London. Please, don't throw it in my face and say that it was "only a bar conversation in London." I know that. But I did indicate that it only corroborated things I had read. Sound stupid if you want and I will be polite with you, but I will still think it's stupid. It does affect whether or not I take you seriously.

Turning back to the point at hand, Putin said that eliminating such laboratories was one of his objectives in going to war. Hosting such laboratories would not be in Zelensky's interest. In my opinion, if they are real, he should get rid of them. If you, dear readers, think that they are not real, please cite some source with more gravitas and less bias than PolitiFact. If you think that they pose no problem if they do exist, cite that source. Otherwise, leave me alone to consider what might be beneficial to the environment in which my children will grow up.

On the other whackadoodle topic, Steve Kirsch has had $1 million on offer to anybody from the government who would meet him in a debate and argue the benefits of the Covid 19 vaccines. Are they effective? Are they safe? He is a very intelligent and accomplished man. Instead of telling me how wrong I am, please take a moment to explain why nobody wants to debate Mr. Kirsch. You might at the same time tell me once again why cancers, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, heart problems and so on have increased so measurably since the vaccinations began. How do we know? The vaccine adverse effects tracking systems in the United States, Great Britain, Europe, Israel, Australia, New Zealand… Please take a moment to explain why the data in these systems, which seems to all point the same direction, is flawed or inconclusive.  In addition, cardiologists, immunologists, neurologists, epidemiologists, pathologists, embalmers and undertakers report similar findings.  Why would they do that, if it is not so?

If you don't have the sources, I will be glad to provide links to a dozen sites providing this data. Enough to keep a blue check busy for weeks. Or you might actually read what they say. That would, of course, be heresy in the church of progressivism.

That's the news from Lake WeBeGone, where the men are strong, the women good-looking, and the children above average.
