I was listening to the Delingpole Podcast yesterday, his recent interview with Bret Weinstein and his wife, Heather. While understandably not everyone is a fan of the pair, Bret mentioned something that stunned me because I wish I had thought of it. Prior to COVID, no how many facts and statistics and science you threw at some people, usually leftists, their trump card to ignore it was their own "lived experience."

"Lived experience" allowed them to look past data showing America wasn't systematically racist, or that women weren't oppressed. He also pointed out that, today, just as then, you throw facts, statistics, historical comparisons, and "see I told you so" stuff (mycarditis and endless boosters) about the covid shot and it bounces off their armor of cognitive dissonance.

But what's REALLY telling, is that when you use your own, or others, "lived experience" about the covid vax, now the covid cultists are telling us "lived experience" doesn't count for anything. Witness what happened to Eric Clapton, a man who makes a living using his hands...and he almost lost the use of them due to the coof vax. His story is real, undeniable, powerful, and personal. It was also heartbreaking, both in what happened to him but how people denied his "lived experience" as not valid evidence.

Still, I use the fact that I have two close relatives that took the shot and suffered for it. There may be more, but only two are willing to speak about it. One has severe joint pain now, first time in his life, and the other, she has necropathy in her extremities. She's now on SS disability. This is real, "lived experience" that I have shared with others when the subject of the vax comes up.

I saw it somewhere on a .win, and I can't come up with the right search term to find it again.

Thanks in advance!

Some months back, someone asked the board what was the most outlandish theory that they researched, and/or came to believe; answers varied, but included things like simulation theory and multiverse theories such. I enjoyed reading that thread.

I want to ask the reverse. Where you do think that the "official narrative" or "conventional wisdom" is correct?

I'll go first.

1. Jet fuel may burn hot not melt steel beams, but the fires did weaken them enough to lose their structural integrity.

2. Space is not fake and gay.

Oklahoma City worked actually worked as a deterrence for federal overreach. McVeigh is a martyr, not in the religious sense, but the patriotic sense.

TLDR: OK city bombing led the Feds to limit law enforcement excesses, Bush's reforms of the intelligence agencies after 9/11 removed that check, now they are turning War on Terror tactics against enemies of the Biden regime.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday, Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World, about 9/11 conspiracies. He made an orthogonal point when at the very end of the 2nd hour long episode he was discussing the "Bush knew about it and let it happen" theories.

You see, much was made in the aftermath of the OK city attack, and in 9/11 commission report, about the "wall between intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies". Egypt, Israel, and others had informed American intelligence about the hijackers. This wasn't passed on to law enforcement agencies, who had their own limited information about the hijackers. They weren't able to "connect the dots" as the saying went at the time. Lawyers involved also warned against getting the national security intelligence apparatus involved with what was a law enforcement situation. In fact, that's how the Clinton Admin and initially, the Bush admin, handled terrorism, they were all LE investigations which limited their scope. The law to an extent prevented this intel/LE communication. The lawyers were very wary, Jimmy Akin said, of making mistakes like the ones that happened to Randy Weaver and the Branch Davidians ranch (among other situations) by "overzealous law enforcement" all of which lead to the Oklahoma City bombing as a retaliation.

Those of us who were paying attention at the time, may recall, that after the OK city bombing that it was as serious then with the Feds going after the militia movement and 3%ers and such as today with the Feds going after MAGA patriots and 1/6 "insurrectionists". The only difference is the words "white supremacy" thrown into the mix. The Feds were telling cops to pull over cars with NRA stickers as a pretext to search the car, as members were all potential violent extremists. President Clinton attacked Rush Limbaugh and said he provoked the OK city bombing, something he later retracted. "Jack booted Nazi thug" was a common epithet against Feds, who, of course, infiltrated the militia movement then like they did the Civil Rights movement with COINTELPRO and pretty much destroyed the 90/00s incarnation of it the militia movement.

So after 9/11, this "wall of separation" between the intelligence agencies and law enforcement was removed and they jointly went after the terrorists during the "war on terror". The intelligence agencies grew under Obama to be a real "deep state" and by the Biden regime, you see that the same methods of the war on terror, without the deterrence from the OK city bombing, turned against the supposed threat of "white supremacy". Tucker Carlson makes this point, that the "war on terror" is now being directed at American patriots and not jihadists.

TLDR: OK city bombing led the Feds to limit law enforcement excesses, Bush's reforms of the intelligence agencies after 9/11 removed that check, now they are turning War on Terror tactics against enemies of the Biden regime.

So, the GOP won big last night, across the board. Reason? They couldn't stop the count at 3 a.m. and pump in the mail in ballots. Expect similar results in the mid term elections. It's hard to fix 435 House races and 33 Senate races, though they might pick off a couple close races with mail in ballots. That's what gave us Simena in AZ and that stupid Saturday Night Live comedian in MN a few years ago.

This is not to say that election fraud isn't a problem, and this is not to say "vote harder" or whatever straw man you want.

This post is to say, that when Trump wins in 2024 without COVID as cover to pump in the mail in ballots at 3am after kicking out the election observers, then, and only then, will we really be in danger of a 2nd civil war over an election.

Further, if I was Trump, I'd be buying some insurance. I'd be working with rural County Clerks in blue states to do the same thing that the inner city County Clerks do, which is pump in the fake ballots.

"He was fully vaccinated, but was also living with a blood cancer called multiple myeloma, in which the cancer infects the white blood cells. Those of course are critical in fighting infection."

I think the shot done killed him, as we know it destroys immune systems.

I saw this bit on the Ace of Spades blog. It's worth a jaunt there from time to time.

If you're here to say crypto is fake and gay, or a honeypot, please restrict yourself to commenting to the theory at hand. I wouldn't start talking about Moby Dick if the book club was reading Ivanhoe, ya dig?

Background: Crypto is one of the biggest expansion of the money supply in history. It actually rivals the fed making the money printer go brrrr. QE 1-3 totaled about $8 trillion.

Total cryptocurrency market cap - $2.3 trillion in 2021. This is up from about $20 million in 2017. So, crypto is akin at least to QE1. Moreover, it keeps going upward, bubbles none-withstanding.

Thesis: Part of the reason that crypto is being accepted by major financial institutions (debate the honeypot aspect elsewhere, I acknowledge it), and western governments are no longer trying to shut it down, but instead regulate and "tame" it, such that it is on its way to being part of the range of financial options like 401ks and such, is because it allows for the fed to keep inflating the currency, without actually printing more money or doing QE4.

[edit - link to The Conversable Economist article on the state of crypto, which got me thinking on the topic: https://conversableeconomist.wpcomstaging.com/2021/10/04/cryptocurrencies-an-update-and-overview/ ]

The chief problem which arises when we apply our theories to any particular situation in the real world. A theory of essentially complex phenomena must refer to a large number of particular facts; and to derive a prediction from it, or to test it, we have to ascertain all these particular facts. Once we succeeded in this there should be no particular difficulty about deriving testable predictions. But there are way to many unknowable facts, and further the real danger consists in the ascertainment of the particular facts after the events have happened to comport to our theories beforehand.

Example: "OF COURSE Biden's vax mandate was all a ploy, never meant to be implemented."

You don't know that, what you're doing is taking information after events have happened and reinterpreting them to comport to your theories afterwards. You backwash your reasoning to fit current events. This way lies charlatanism and worse. Make your testable theories up PRIOR to events, or, at the very least, stick to analyzing events as they happen or after they have happened to try to ascertain what is the most objective truth.

Ask yourself a question, with generals like Milley and VPs like Pence, how many would have followed his lawful orders? Remember, Trump in his last days also had to fire a general who wanted to stay in Afghanistan. In his last year he also had to fire a Navy Admiral who wanted to go after that Navy Seal (Gallager I belive his name was) that Trump had specifically told him not to prosecute and whom he later pardoned.

The military brass wanted him gone. Like in every coup, both sides calculate who is on their side and who is against him. Trump knew he couldn't pull it off.

Before anyone says I'm some Q supporter or TDW fan club member on hopium, I'm not. And if you're coming here to say Trump was all an elaborate ploy or ruse by the deep state, you're brain dead.

Larry Elder is a pretty sharp guy, one of the top normie conservatives out there, especially for a black guy.

Now, everyone is saying "the fix is in" on CA due to these voter fraud allegations, such as people showing up and finding their ballot was already cast, or that case where the guy with a gun/drugs/300+ mail in ballots in his car was arrested passed out in a convenience store parking lot.

But I could see, Larry Elder, with the backing of Peter Thiel or some such, laying the bribes on thick to fight fire with fire. Then, if he wins, they can say "look, the system isn't rigged, a conservative won CA".

Powerful people are the only ones that hold other powerful people accountable, and sometimes, powerful people are not all on the same team.

So, that said, when's the last time decent humanity, won the day? Brexit? Trump in 2016? The Heller decision in the U.S.? Luke Skywalker on the Mandolorian? They dropped a remake of The Princess Bride? George Zimmerman found not guilty? NFL and NBA and Oscars ratings are in the toilet?

Drop me some white pills folks. I'm glad the audit is going on in AZ, as a start.

To me, that some GOP members benefited from Dominion voting machines is the only rational explanation for why they don't investigate. Granted, there may be a level of denial as well.

That said, we know the the GA governor has, but who else. I saw somewhere good ol turtle Mitch McConnell has (and I like to know more), but there must be more, because no rational person can see what happened to Trump and be complacent about it.
