Omicron Moron Virus

Omicron Moronic Virus is here 

to scare YOU!

WE MUST BE MORONS . Now  they already said omicron is an anagram of moronic... Delta is now being replaced with ox-moronic ,  so the usual bullshit .We have to live our daily lives in a Panic situation. Now with  (1)>>Omicron variant the news media is in a new frenzy spewing propaganda . I wonder how many people world wide dropped whatever else they were doing and just focusing on this variant now. Fauci gave an early morning interview the day after thanksgiving and looked knackered. As fall dips into winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the coronavirus has served up the holiday gift that no one, absolutely no one, asked for: a new variant of concern, dubbed Omicron by the World Health Organization on Friday. Omicron, also known as B.1.1.529, was first detected in  (1.2)>>Botswana and South Africa earlier this month, and very little is known about it so far.  (2)>>But the variant is moving fast. I keep hearing this with no evidence. That it actually exists , we should think that its the SAME COVID

Boris Johnson has announced
measures designed
to contain the spread of the new Omicron coronavirus
variant, as the UK’s chief medical officer warned there
 was a reasonable chance of “vaccine escape”.

VIRUS , but yea they need to SCARE the public to get another BOOSTER .This idea that "the evol media is spreading lies and hysteria" is just as stupid as the pro-vaxxers. I've seen maybe ONE such instance based on mainstream media. This knee-jerk reaction to blame "the media" for everything is stupid.  (3)>>The entire EU and the US and UK and Israel and other countries are reacting very strongly to this and it's not because they are morons "freaking out" over something they read on some random site online for gods sake. They have their own health ministries and scientists they have consulting them. Yes, the scientists who confuse the public . (3.1)>>I WONDER IF OMICRON LEAKED FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN LAB? If they are this afraid of this shit, it's probably at the very least something to be concerned about, especially given their populations are not exactly thrilled to hear about any new restrictions. Just the opposite and they are the voters.This is the first time I can say that the media has been absolutely unhelpful. Doctors on Youtube are souting about the number of mutations and I honestly wonder how much this is about public health or riding an algorithm.

I mean could you imagine the reporting

"Nu variant"

"New variant?"

"No, NU variant"

"Yes, new variant."

"No, there's a U."

"Say what?"

Why does Delta, the largest variant, not simply eat the other variants?Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps. They have covid vaccines clearly didn't work and they'll need to continue to make brand new vaccines 2-3 times a year in some super safe BOOSTER effort to save lives while singlehandedly ignoring the things that cause the larger percentage of deaths in this country. Just a guess though.But scientists have barely begun to examine Omicron's threat: Fewer than 100 of the variant's genome sequences have been reported globally, compared with Delta's more than 2.8 million sequences.Huh. I thought of Omicron Ceti III, where Khan was put after taking over the Enterprise.

The Vaccine will not protect you !

Just recently Omicron scare prompted the UK prime minister into action . His TV briefing was shown on American new media outlets like CNN . It was sorta baffling, now now  UK prime minister said: “Our scientists are learning more hour by hour, and it does appear that Omicron spreads very rapidly, and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated ". Johnson told reporters he was “confident” that this Christmas “will be considerably better than last Christmas”. Looking at the UK , its likely that America will follow with more CDC restrictive regulations as more "details" about this new virus emerges .  NOW One minute our government will be telling everyone to return to the office and the next minute we are facing restrictions. Talk about mixed messages.........lol 😖Lockdowns don't stop transmission they just delay it as at some point those on lockdown will have to go out again. They also have enormous economic and social costs. Any lockdown with 70% double-vaccinated is more harmful than beneficial. The announced measures offer little to contain the virus. I also don't believe this variant is so concerning as feared. In a few words, based on the current information there is no basis on evidence to change the way we live and adopt restrictions.But narcissistic politicians with dictatorship instincts, will be wolfing back the Champagne Cognac (as Nazis did in Vichy France), at the ease which fearful propaganda controls their subjects.  When there are large unknowns Omicron Moron Virus , it makes it difficult to know what the end-game is. MORE BOOSTER SHOTS !!!Both unknowns with regards to the epidemiological properties of the virus (as it is without mutations) and unknowns with regards to treatments. Also, when you come up with goals (ie: 70% vaccination) and then the virus changes before you meet those goals (ie: Delta has insane transmissibility through Media FEAR MONGERING ) and then  you learn about vaccine waning, 3 shots are NO GOOD ! the original goal no longer is sufficient and people get mad about "goal post moving" when the goal changes to 85% with 3 shots instead of 70% with 2 more boosters in YOUR ARM .

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Omicron variant. That’s because the new variant — named omicron and labeled a “variant of concern” by the World Health Organization on Friday because of its high level of mutations — has been spreading for only a couple of weeks. It was first reported in southern Africa, where it showed signs of rapid transmission. This is one of the many reasons why alarm bells have been rung. In South Africa – once again in the crosshairs after its experience with the beta variant – cases have surged throughout November, with the majority of these infections reported in Gauteng province.   (1.2)>>Botswana and South Africa . Poor South Africa ... the only country on the entire continent able to do genome-sequencing at scale and public spirited enough to share the results (compare e.g. China). Their reward? To have their economy repeatedly trashed. What is the upside for them of spending all the money and doing all the work, and being transparent about what they find? None that I can see. It is doubly dumb since there is no evidence that border closures actually stop the spread of viruses or "new variants". They just change the trajectory by a small number of days/weeks. Decision-makers in the UK/elsewhere should hang their heads in shame.  (2)>>But the variant is moving fast. What a charade. They told us to vaccinate to revert to normal. Now they say vaccines not too efficient.. new variants every 2 weeks... Just a load of half truths, state sponsored hysteria, u turns and down right lies.  Researchers in South Africa are racing to track the concerning rise of a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The variant harbours a large number of the mutations found in other variants, including Delta, and it seems to be spreading quickly across South Africa. Taking a dig at China's handling of the deadly coronavirus, the United States praised South Africa for quickly identifying the new Covid strain and sharing this information with the world so that the required precautions could be taken.  (3)>>The entire EU and the US and UK and Israel .Israel’s coronavirus cabinet has authorised a series of measures including banning entry by foreigners, red-listing travel to 50 African countries, and making quarantine mandatory for all Israelis arriving from abroad. The entry ban is expected to come into effect at midnight local time (10pm GMT) on Sunday. Denmark became the latest European country to confirm cases of new COVID-19 variant Omicron on Sunday.Danish health authorities said they had registered two cases in travellers from South Africa It comes after the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, the UK and Belgium also announced that they had detected cases of the new coronavirus strain.Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said a "race against time" was underway to tackle the Omicron variant.(3.1)>>I WONDER IF OMICRON LEAKED FROM A SOUTH AFRICAN LAB?  Am for lab gain of function on the Delta Variant  theory . The Omicron variant of the virus has more than 30 mutations in its spike protein, which could make it more contagious, could cause more severe infection in patients, and could be resistant to vaccines. It’s a lot of news to process, and it comes without a lot of baseline knowledge about the virus itself.None of this has been determined yet, however.  MAYBE this NEW STRAIN IS A HOAX ! Who was MF that "created" this new strain virus ? Come ON people this "mutation" can't be of natural origin , how explain how it just jump into a new strain ? So they are telling us this : " The variant harbours a spike mutation that allows it to be detected by genotyping tests that deliver results much more rapidly than genome sequencing does" It's revealing.. Now all the nations are freaking out ."We should think about the Delta variant as the 2020 version of Covid-19 on steroids," Andy Slavitt, a former senior adviser to President Joe Biden's Covid Response Team, told CNN last week. What’s known so far absolutely warrants attention—not panic. Viruses mutate; they always do. Not all variants of concern turn out to be, well, all that concerning; many end up being mere blips in the pandemic timeline.  It's just the MORON VIRUS!

American Lawlessness .

A wave of smash and grab crimes hit Blue States
and California as well.

 Now we have another menace to American society , Between the riots last year , the burning . Smash and Grab crimes have made it on the nation wide news networks lately . What they MSM news don't tell with particular to California is , as as reported by the  (1)>>Hoover Institution : " Because state law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won’t bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go" So how the HELL did this law get signed ? Well let's look at Proposition Proposition 47 was passed in California in 2014 and reclassified felony theft offenses as misdemeanors. While some state sources "claim" that shoplifting and petty theft to go unprosecuted. Now what made it complicated is when State Gov. Newsom last year started furloughing prisoners aka non violent offenders , setting them free because of Covid . Now California is seeing  (2)>>CRIME WAVES like the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE These brazen acts of petty theft and shoplifting are a dangerous and all-too-common consequence of  (3)>>Proposition 47, a referendum passed five years ago that critics say effectively gives shoplifters and addicts the green light to commit crimes as long as the merchandise they steal or the drugs they take are less than $950 in value.However, police agencies in California will have to contend with local prosecutors, who decide whether to charge an offender with a misdemeanor or felony, if at all. Progressive district attorneys such as those in San Francisco and Los Angeles have pledged to avoid stiff penalties, sentencing enhancements and incarceration for certain crimes. A free and open society is predicated on people not acting like douchebags. While it sucks that these thefts are happening, the real harm they cause is the resulting crackdowns on all our civic and private-space liberties. Accordingly, of all people, liberals should be the most pissed off about this shit. BUT right the Liberal mindset can't tell right from wrong as of now.  (4)>>California Gov. Newsom said organized retail theft is more than just simple, low-level shoplifting and that the California Highway Patrol has not seen a lack of support from liberal prosecutors.“I'm not willing to throw up my hands and suggest that somehow we're going to see a huge impediment to our collective effort to address these organized efforts,” the governor said.

Crime after Crime : Defund the Police .

The effort to  (5)>>blame Democrats for crime may offer a preview of Republicans' strategy for upcoming elections: a new twist on an old "law and order" argument from the party's past, hearkening back to President Richard Nixon. On social media and in political speeches, some Republicans and pro-police groups say last year's calls to slash spending on law enforcement have led to a dramatic rise in killings in cities overseen by Democrats. (6)>>Oakland California is becoming the Chicago Illinois of the west with an equal amount of gun violence and killing sprees .Violent crime is on the rise in urban areas across the country.Many small cities that typically have relatively few murders are seeing significant increases over last year. Killings in Albuquerque, N.M., Austin, Texas, and Pittsburgh, for example, have about doubled so far in 2021, while Portland, Ore., has had five times as many murders compared to last year, according to data compiled by Jeff Asher, a crime data analyst and co-founder of AH Datalytics.Most cities in the United States, including each of those named above, have a Democratic mayor. After protests last year over police violence against Black Americans — notably the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis — (7)>>there has been a push from the left to "defund" police departments. Big blue states aren’t only fiscal train wrecks but often lead the country in faddish thinking about crime and safety. Levels of vagrancy in progressive redoubts like New York City and San Francisco have reached levels that are too high to ignore. In Frisco, which is run by liberals who like to lecture the country about the treatment of low-income minorities, the homeless population numbers 18,000, more than a third of whom are black.The idea that crime is ultimately the fault of law enforcement (and not criminals) may be head-scratching to most people, but it’s become an article of faith among liberals who believe that fewer cops and prosecutions are the key to safer communities.

Lawless California .

The bigger issue though was there is a certain $ threshold for offenders such that the offense is a  (8)>>misdemeanor rather than a felony as laid out by prop 47. This had to do with overcrowding I believe in the prisons and they theorized the state would save a bunch of money on prisons. So if you shoplift, grand theft, forge a check, fraud, etc. under $950 this is now a misdemeanor rather than a felony so those committing these crimes would not get you sent to prison. The big issue is, now people who are committing these crimes (i.e. breaking a window of a car and stealing under $950) are not being prosecuted and just being let out onto the streets to commit more crimes. It also reduces the incentive to arrest these people now since they will likely just be let out. Essentially due to not seeing California's growth (which naturally will increase crime) and not building up our prison system, the state now has to let criminals go out on to the street in order to save space for the worse criminals... and are marketing it as saving money on people who "shouldn't" be there aka the people stealing your iPhone which isn't above the $950 threshold.So because of prop 47 there isn't as much police/supervisors can do other than arrest thugs, get them on record, and then let them go. Or it would drastically reduce the amount of time these criminals will spend in jail.  (9)>>The Louis Vuitton snatch-grab happened simultaneously in Chicago, so clearly there must be some kind of organized network. I just googled to see if I could find out more about it, and oddly I found this site that appears to be selling Louis Vuitton bags at a significant discount: knpqtotes. com . If this is related at all to the topic at hand, how come I can find this stuff and legal and governing authorities can't?

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Hoover Institution .California’s Proposition 47 raises interesting questions in terms of how much certain crimes will cost law-abiding citizens, vs. how much those crimes financially burden our prison system. If approved by voters, some crimes that were once considered felonies will then be reduced to misdemeanors.Those who oppose Prop 47 tend to align with law enforcement groups. The opposition includes the California Police Chiefs Association, the state District Attorneys Association, and the California Correctional Supervisors Association. Add the California Chamber of Commerce; the state Republican Party; Senator Dianne Feinstein and media groups like the Sacramento, Fresno and Modesto Bees to those that do not endorse this proposal. See From The Hoover Institution article https://www.hoover.org/research/why-shoplifting-now-de-facto-legal-californiafbclid=IwAR3KKJ_XOVHBhf5wlNqyQY4PAVGSWh-0cOY2ujXR7QJPZJ0zUf0ii39lPiA   (2)>>CRIME WAVES like the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE . The viral video was quasi-farcical: A thief in a San Francisco Walgreens  a thug balanced on his bike as he skimmed it down the aisles, filling his black garbage bag with merchandise, looking like a larcenous Santa Claus as he then coasted past the store’s guard out into the California sunshine.But there was nothing funny about the social crisis on display. The scene captured in that video puts paid to the lie that “progressive” policies that excuse crime and weaken law enforcement are about a deep and fundamental respect for people. But, with so many Californians leaving their messed-up state, they inevitably bringing their messed-up attitudes with them, like wanting to ban guns for personal protection. Note to Californians fleeing that state: leaving your America-h a t i n g, pro-criminal politics in Cali, or just stay there.Want the blue states to come back? Want law and order? Vote the Democrats out of office. Sad to say, the people in these states who can't or won't move to red states are too stupid to think otherwise. Just look at Philadelphia, whose Democrat primary was won by a DA who opposes law and order. Ridiculous. Ditto for NY and CA.(3)>>Proposition 47. Some misdemeanors can result in jail time (I think up to 12 months) which depends on the severity. The penalties are way less intense than what comes with a felony i.e. stronger probation, restitution for victim, longer jail times.From what the police chief told me, and I'm no law expert at all, is a lot of these cases of theft/etc under 950 and protected by prop 47 from becoming felonies was resulting in the offender being let go back onto the streets with no jail time from the court systems.I'm sure there is something for habitual defenders or habitual misdemeanor offenders that eventually leads to jail time, but I think it would be jail time according to the misdemeanor limits so 1 year. You wouldn't be punished by felony rules. So a multiple DUI w/out injury (a misdemeanor crime) person can be sent to jail up to a year.(4)>>California Gov. Newsom said . And when asked about the spate of group-attack robberies seen in Union Square, Walnut Creek, Hayward and elsewhere over the weekend, as KPIX reports, Newsom said, "We want real accountability. We want people prosecuted and we want people to feel safe this holiday season." He and Brown before him and their party were behind the Prop 47 , 3 strikes law repeal and many others soft on crime laws and policies that all contributed to the lawlessness we have all over the state now!Newsom saying mayors should be tough on crime is like the NRA chief saying people should lay surrender their weapons. But you have to love Newsom. And the DA with finally not supporting crime for once. Repeal the foolish $950 misdemeanor law. Police, prosecutors, and judges need to stop coddling criminals. May need to recall some stupid judges.(5)>>blame Democrats for crime .The left blames Covid-19, but the trend predates the pandemic. Violent crime, which more or less had been steadily declining since the early 1990s, began reversing course in 2015, not 2020. “Violent crime and homicide rates rose in the U.S. in 2016 for the second consecutive year, driven in part by a spike in murders in large cities,” the Journal reported in 2017, citing FBI data.Apparently Democrats are a bigger problem than the criminals who are a bigger problem than the police. Then there's the woke DOJ and the woke FBI and woke Federal Bureaucracies of any stripe.For some unknown reason, the Left seems to identify more with the criminals than law abiding citizens. They continually favor the criminal element, making excuses for their behavior.They refuse to prosecute the criminals and when the police respond to a violent situation they seemed shocked that it results in further violence. Other than the continued destruction of our societal norms, I cannot possibly imagine why seems like a good idea to the Left. The possible explanation is this strategy further panders to the criminal and low socio-economic minorities in order to garner more votes. Since our politicians are too busy creating safety nets for criminals, good citizens need to learn to be street smart and prepared to take care of themselves.  (6)>>Oakland California is becoming the Chicago Illinois of the west with an equal amount of gun violence and killing sprees . AS EXAMPLES most Democrat Controlled states and cities with the strongest gun laws have the worst gun violence .And all those gun control measures that just got passed won't do a dime on this statistic if poverty, inequality, drug and gang violence are present in Oakland. Seriously. I'm all for gun control that has a rational approach to mitigating gun violence in statistically significant way. However, since both sides of the issue act like emotional children, you get gun control laws that have more to do with extremely rare, black swan mass shootings that do next to nothing to actually reduce gun violence. Things like restrictions on removable mags, mage size, AR15 accessories, etc may feel good but have no effect at all on 99% of gun deaths.Then you get 99% of gun owners that are law abiding feeling that any gun control is more about controlling them than reducing crime so they just resort to equally childish whining about misinterpretations of the second amendment and tree of liberty shit. We need grownups in this country.Oakland will never get anywhere without working on its poverty conditions. There’s so much work to be done in Oakland on all fronts. You can lock up criminals all you want but poverty conditions will just produce more. the rise in violence and shootings is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed, but it bears repeating that this rise is coming up from a long downward trend and historical lows of violence. We know what works, the pandemic and it's effects have thrown a wrench in that so we need to adapt to the new world we're living in, but we do have a framework for what works.On the scale of decades crime is way down but there is a recent uptick. It's a serious problem that needs attention but it hasn't completely undone the decades of improvement. (7)>>there has been a push from the left to "defund" police departments. Democrats acknowledged could be laid at the feet of the "defund the police" movement that some within the party embraced last summer. This "defunding"  of the now police has jeopardized law enforcement to take action on fighting crime .Even as Trump and Republicans were working to make "defund the police" a national issue (Joe Biden had made clear he did not favor defunding), the Minnesota politicians who were at the forefront of the "defund" movement were beginning to back off in the face of rising crime in the city. I mean, can we just say that maybe the police have a legitimate purpose in society, but we shouldn’t rely on them for mental health care and substance abuse? They’re not the answer for every problem in society, but I think they’re absolutely necessary. The problem is that we underfund vital services and have a tiny social safety net, and we rely on the police to make it all ok. Which is unfair to everyone involved.(8)>>misdemeanor rather than a felony as laid out by prop 47. These changes, a marked departure from California’s harsh Three Strikes sentencing era, were motivated by the goal of “ensur[ing] that prison spending is focused on violent and serious offenses”—a proposition that would save taxpayer funds by reining in a sprawling state prison system populated by low-risk inmates and refocus those resources towards evidence based rehabilitative programs aimed at reducing recidivism. Possession of methamphetamine .Possession of controlled substance.Possession of concentrated cannabis.  .Petty theft of property worth less than $950 .Grand theft of property worth less than $950 .Shoplifting of property worth less than $950 Forging or writing a bad check worth less than $950. Receipt of stolen property under $950. Under the new law, people currently charged with these crimes will only face misdemeanor charges and penalties. All future charges for these crimes will be misdemeanors. I can't understand why people in California voted yes for "thefts"law , but prop 47 was sneaky,  if you look close , it was attached on decriminalizing cannabis possession rather than allowing for changing definition of what constitutes a serious crime of grand theft to having a half ounce of cannabis .(9)>>The Louis Vuitton snatch-grab happened simultaneously in Chicago.  There could be some connection to organized crime that sized the opportunity because of the Democrat lefts weak defund police policy  nation wide . Crime is hitting blue states more than red states . NOW that’s about $600 worth of raw materials total that they stole. the value placed on these useless luxury items doesn’t exist and is manipulated by the designer cabal thru marketing and illusion of exclusivity. Those are the dumbest criminals in the world. Risking prison for what? You can buy counterfeit LV at any flea market and no one can tell the difference. What are they going to do with those real ones? No one’s going to believe they’re real. Smash and grabs are criminal fencing operations, in other words these are crime rings. They sell the goods to people even higher up on the chain usually the stuff is then sold internationally. These youths are no different than a dealer on the corner. These are the ones you see but there are people higher up on the chain running the operations. Looting during a protest is usually a heat of the moment thing. Most people involved are unlikely to repeat their actions while smash and grabbers are. In fact, another suburb also had a smash and grab similar to this, they might even be the same people. I don’t know about other areas of the country but smash and grabs have been in the news in Chicago since about 2015. At first people thought they were some type of flash mob but they’re actually crime rings.

Go Steve BANNON GO!

Steve Bannon will challenge his
subpoena , its really about 
free speech .

“It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen. It’s going to be extraordinarily different, and all I can say is strap in. You have made this happen and tomorrow it's game day. All Hell is going to break loose tomorrow."

— Steve Bannon, January 5

Bannon . We all know that Steve Bannon has been charged with contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the legislative committee investigating the (1)>>Jan. 6 Capitol siege. So, Bannon's case has been assigned to the same judge presiding over the (2)>>Dominion suit against Rudy. These judge ships are so vitally important. The final vote was 229 to 202, with just 9 Republicans joining with nearly every Democrat in favor of the resolution to recommend the Justice Department for prosecution. See the full roll call here. Remember that at election time.  (2.1)>>The now regarding the so called "insurrection" may not have been Bannon's direct fault . While Bannon is part of the populist movement , the events of Jan 6th are ambiguous at least . The 2020 election is pure funny stuff , there was manipulation of the votes , with all evidence , many votes were not counted on election day . We still had absentee ballots being counted past December .  Also let’s realize that the ONLY election results they contest are the ones involving Trump. Shouldn’t they also cry fraud about the votes that got them elected or re-elected? If it was so ‘rigged’ why didn’t those doing the rigging change any other results? So many questions here . I believe that there was a conspiracy to prevent Trump from winning a second term .   Steve Bannon opposed the election results pretty much like I too disputed them . In spite I did predicted that Joe Biden would win , but all that was because there was so much at stake to end Trump's political career . From the start Trump was treated like a illegitimate president who was called a Putin puppet . We had four years of Russia-gate . You have to think if the same people behind Russia-gate could have sabotaged the election inn favor for Biden?   So there could have been nefarious elements in the election process that could have been disputed . Well of course it’s all political! If they can prosecute people like Brannon, then surely the little people will be too afraid to talk. If they prosecute O’Keefe then that might shut up and shut down small conservative media outlets! Steve Bannon and O'keefe are champions of First Amendment freedoms. Unlike their careless MSM counterparts they cherish TRUTH TELLING, to the consternation of every lying hard LEFT ,If they can't take them out legally they will try to do it illegally this is the US AG;s assignment. Apparently at this point they still do not own all of the court system. That is one of the few saving graces, (3)>>Bannon was branded a instigator by the witch hunt committee queen Nancy Pelosi, because he was a loud voice protesting the election  . Bannon refused to cooperate with the House panel investigating the storming of the Capitol, arguing he was covered under an assertion of executive privilege by Trump.But legal experts said that claim lacked merit because Bannon is a private citizen who had not worked inside the White House for years — and because the current president, Joe Biden, had waived privilege on several matters before the House committee.  (4)>>So there is a lot more going on here . It's more about silencing Bannon . Who currently has his own public platform called The War Room . Bannon did not enter a plea and is due back in court o for the next phase of what could be the first high-level trial in connection with January’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.Combative outside court, he said he was “going on the offense” against the attorney general, the speaker of the House and President Biden. He declared, “This is going to be a misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.”As for Bannon’s threats to rain hell down on his enemies, his lawyers seemed to take a somewhat different posture. They’ve not only waived the right to a speedy trial; they’d like to drag this out forever, or at least until 2023.

 

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Jan. 6 Capitol siege. For me the Capital riots were fueled by the so call "racial justice " unrest following the George Floyd killing . Last year the nation exploded in violence , riots , and looting . Honestly looking at the " insurrection" from a Independent eye the storming of the Capital Hill was long in coming , we have American people who are just fed up with their government . It's not just the far right , the far left following the Floyd incident crashed the economy nation wide forcing people to take to the streets setting major cities on fire  masked as "justice for Floyd" but in reality the Covid lock downs put people on the edge of their sanity . (2)>>Dominion suit against Rudy. As pillow magnate-cum-election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell finds once-supportive media no longer interested in his views after a wave of defamation lawsuits, one outlet remains ready and willing to regularly broadcast his lies: Steve Bannon’s “War Room” show, which Lindell also happens to underwrite. “Dominion was part of it,” Lindell claimed on the program, without evidence, accusing the voting machine manufacturer of working with China to rig the November election against former President Donald Trump. “If you work for Dominion and you were part of this crime against humanity, turn yourself in. Save yourself some jail time.”  Dominion Voting Systems alleges in the lawsuits that Powell, Giuliani and Lindell waged a campaign of lies against it, spreading verifiably false claims that Dominion shifted millions of votes from Donald Trump and rigged the election in favor of President Joe Biden. Dominion says that through TV appearances, podcasts, tweets and speeches, the defendants contributed to a “viral disinformation campaign,” causing the company to suffer billions of dollars in damages. (2.1)>>The now regarding the so called "insurrection" may not have been Bannon's direct fault . It about free speech , what he said on Jan 5th , just one day before the attack, Bannon told listeners of his podcast that “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” according to CNN; in December, according to reporting by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their recent book Peril, Bannon told Trump, “We are going to kill it in the crib. Kill the Biden presidency in the crib.” We know that Capital riot was instigated by someone else , we have seen the mob gathered , crashing through Capital Hill was not led by Bannon , what Bannon said is taken out of context completely . (3)>> Bannon was branded a instigator by the witch hunt committee queen Nancy Pelosi. "As Nancy Pelosi is trying to put citizens in jail, namely Steve Bannon because he's not cooperating with her investigation, she is withholding key information about January 6th," Judicial Watch President @TomFitton. Watch more here: https://youtu.be/Kg0kz_hCtEE  . Seventy-six percent of Republicans believe Bannon’s prosecution is politically motivated, while 35 percent of Democrats believe the same. Regarding O’Keefe, 67 percent believe his prosecution is politically motivated, and 38 percent of Democrats believe that. Well of course it’s all political! If they can prosecute people like Brannon, then surely the little people will be too afraid to talk. If they prosecute O’Keefe then that might shut up and shut down small conservative media outlets!(4)>>So there is a lot more going on here . Bannon’s indictment also signals the seriousness with which the January 6 committee is handling its investigation — and for good reason.Among other issues, the committee is potentially facing a time crunch: With the 2022 midterms coming up quickly and Republicans in prime position to win back control of the House, the committee could have only so much time to conduct its investigation before it’s in danger of being shuttered by a Republican House majority.That means Trump’s stonewalling tactics could be all the more potent, if they succeed, and it raises the stakes of the committee’s work.

The Sleepy Joe Economy .

1. The Sleepy Joe Economy .

The BIGGEST BLAME for High Prices in  (1)>>the "sleepy" economy is the government . We heading for (2)>>another recession on the horizon. This country is headed into political upheaval not seen before by anybody alive.  We really are reliving the 1970's aren't we? Runaway inflation, shitty and weak foreign policy, surging gas prices....if only the music was as good.With Thanksgiving looming, a relatively easy comparison is made in the price of a turkey dinner with all the trimmings compared to the same feast in 2020.This was thought to be the general state of the world economy through the 1950’s and 1960’s. By the mid-1970’s, however, it was evident something was wrong. “Runaway inflation” was generating a vicious spiral of increasing prices. More government will not fix this but instead make it worse. Bug or feature? Production was falling behind demands, unemployment was growing and prices kept rising.  (2)>>The American Jobs Plan, his proposed economic recovery act, would seek to employ Americans building green infrastructure to fight climate change. “There is simply no reason why the blades for wind turbines can’t be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing,” Biden said.  (2.1)>>A wide range of economists agree with the president — but only in part. They generally accept his argument that in the long run, the bill and his infrastructure plan could make businesses and their workers more productive, which would help to ease inflation as more goods and services are produced across the economy.But many researchers, including a forecasting firm that Mr. Biden often cites to support the economic benefits of his proposals, say the bill is structured in a way that could add to inflation next year, before prices have had time to cool off.In recent months a new complication has been added to the maze of problems bogging down the economy​—record-high interest rates, especially in the U.S. As if by a rock thrown into a pond, the ripples have spread into the economy of all Western industrialized nations.In the U.S. high interest rates tighten the money supply by discouraging would-be borrowers from putting into circulation more inflated money. But high interest rates also restrain the flow of money into business investments, badly needed to get the stagnant economy moving.Consumer prices soared in October 2021 and are now up 6.2% from a year earlier – higher than most economists’ estimates and the fastest increase in more than three decades. At this point, that may be no surprise to most Americans, who are seeing higher prices while shopping for shoes and steaks, dining at restaurants and pumping fuel in their cars.Americans have noticed increasing prices everywhere from (3)>>the gas pump to grocery store aisles. Inflation has hit a 30-year high.The most pessimistic respondents were older people and lower-income Americans for whom the rising costs of basic necessities is especially harmful.   These are worrisome trends that echo other recent sentiment surveys. They are especially shocking when you consider that the stock market, normally a yardstick of the country’s mood, keeps hitting all-time highs; also, jobs are plentiful.  No one wants to work , this is why Joe's economy is SLEEPY . 

2. Biden's Poll Numbers .

Here it is .  (4)>>Joe Biden's poll numbers are tanking along with Kamala Harris.  Biden's approval ratings have been essentially flat the last two weeks and have not risen since the Afghanistan pullout. I would broadly agree with you that Presidents shouldn't care too much about polls but I think in saying that if the winds are not blowing in Biden's favor no one necessarily feels pressured to get on board with his signature policies he's going going to have problems with 2022 .Democratic media outlets, neutral media outlets and republican media outlets are all doing the same damn thing. BEATING the absolute shit out of everything and anything we're trying to get done. It's insane that we would beat down our own people to the point of inaction and then demand action. Yes. I fully and completely blame all media norms for creating this hailstorm of stupidity. Take your media pick and I can get 3 negative articles from democratic media outlets. Doesn't matter. Afghanistan! Foreign relations! Haiti! Debt ceiling! Infrastructure! COVID! EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. Democrats are tearing themselves apart.They need to stop and stop now, before it's way to late.

3. The Tanking Economy .

Right it's no certain that our nation's economy is in a free fall.Although the creation of 943,000 new jobs in July is undoubtedly good news, the Biden administration deserves very little credit for these gains. And even more importantly,  (5)>>when put into proper context, the recent jobs figures are, at best, a huge disappointment.  We know that The US federal government would have run out of money on October 18, a development financial analysts had warn that it would wipe out millions of jobs, crash the stock market and devastate American economic growth. So far the pass of the infrastructure bill is a band aide patch .America will go bankrupt. It's a case of when not if. There are no measures they seem willing to take to reduce debt and/or increase income to service it, and the longer this situation continues the worse it will get and the greater the impossibility it will be ever be addressed. The Americans have not identified the cause for their continuing deficit (or ignoring it) for the last 10 years and the symptoms are starting to manifest itself. It is convenient to use the blame game (China's fault) to placate the ordinary Americans. Yes, they have succeeded with partisan support and delayed the adverse outcome by makeshift policy of raising the debt ceiling and printing more money. If unchecked, the US$ value would be on par with toilet paper. Producing countries would be indirectly exploited by the US using their worthless money to buy the good and services. (6)>>Hence, the move to drop US$ as the universal currency will not be based on geopolitical reasons but a recognition by other nations that they are being exploited. The world will return to the barter system and the medium used to exchange goods will not be the American $ but a currency agreed among traders.

4. US Sanctions on AMERICAN CITIZENS !. ( Sleepy economy ) 

While we Americans always hear about economic sanctions against Russia , China and Iran . The sleepy economy now has hit every American hard like a karma bitch fiasco . This recession that is now emerging during the [ Plan] Pandemic cycle seems to me that they resemble economic  sanctions that our country has imposed on others .  (7)>>YES, KARMA is a bitch .But to anyone paying attention to U.S. foreign policy for the past decade, it has become obvious that the United States relies on one tool above all: economic sanctions. Now what comes around goes around. Blame the two party system here, BUT BLAME the party of the economic blues : The Democrats. NOW THAT Middle America is dying. 10k farms a year go bankrupt and there's little manufacturing compared to the past.. The US has turned away from a manufacturing society to a service society. You become less independent every year. China owns your largest meat processing plant. The real economy could continue to deteriorate for quite some time, but my hope is that this doesn't continue to fuel the market speculation that is rampant as the only way we can fight a weakening economy is 'asset purchases' from the Federal Reserve. Looking very far into the future, I wonder what tools we're going to be left with to fight inevitable recessions decades down the road. We're always so focused on fighting the economic crisis at hand that we shift the bill into the future. This is evident by the decreasing trend in interest rates and increasing desperation in Federal Reserve tactics.The elephant in the room is our political system. Certainly we are headed into disaster.

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(1)>>the "sleepy" economy is the government . Spiking inflation — underscored by two government reports this week showing the biggest price surges in decades — presents a powerful threat to the economy as it struggles to shake off the pandemic. After the government reported inflation soared at an annual rate of 6.2% last month – well above expectations and more than triple the Federal Reserve Board's preferred target of 2% – Biden was forced to pivot and tout the benefits of the infrastructure plan in battling inflation.But that did not prevent politicians on both sides of the aisle from jumping on the inflation bandwagon, suggesting that Biden's economic policies are actually doing more harm than good. I don’t think anyone is claiming the economy won’t recover. The reps are saying his policy is slowing that down.(1.1)>>another recession . The Recession of 2021 -2024 was Covid driven . The US government was not able to handle 3 , 4th waves of the virus . Even though 90% of the population was vaccinated with three boosters .Biden is facing growing disillusionment among Americans that he can fix the problems brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, even as the virus shows itself to be remarkably resilient nearly two years after it first surfaced in Wuhan, China. Now we "know" that the Covid data is flawed , many "cases" were misdiagnosed . This was adding to the crazy flips within the CDC. But the economy was slow in recovery until inflation was flat around 2025 . After the great Market panic of 2023 . New research suggests the U.S. economy is already in recession. David Blanchflower (Dartmouth College) has been predicting recessions since 2007. In 2007, as a member of the Bank of England, Blanchflower implored policy makers to pay attention to what households and business say about the economy to predict downturns before they happen. A new White House fact sheet warned that the failure to come to an agreement could send ripples through U.S. financial markets and halt billions of dollars in aid for disaster relief efforts, infrastructure and education funding, not to mention the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.   (2)>>The American Jobs Plan, his proposed economic recovery act. That could really be said about any infrastructure plan. The government doesn't actually do most of the construction and they don't even do all of the civil engineering in most cases. The road building industry is rife with collusion and price fixing and there is very little the government can do because everything is bid out. We have to take into account that the current jobs numbers is far worse than we are told .Speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden zeroed in on the data point showing that the unemployment rate fell below 5 percent for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, characterizing it as a sign of “significant improvement” in the time since he took office. He said that, on average, the U.S. economy has added 600,000 jobs on a monthly basis under his watch.The unemployment rate increased from March 2021 to April 2021. That's the first time that's happened since the pandemic began.With millions of jobs unfilled we don't need NEW jobs created, we just need the lazy to start working again.(2.1)>>A wide range of economists agree with the president — but only in part. It's always important to remember that the Fed's (Yellen's the ex-Fed Chair) most used tool is incentivization through psychology.Credible threats, employment forecasting, etc. are all used to influence the market so that they don't actually have to act.I'm sure Yellen and the Fed are all aware of the reality of the economy, but they're trying to sell us a false reality to discourage a drop in economic activity due to perceived/expected future hardship.It's similar to an executive downplaying a company's financial struggles to avoid a mass wave of resignations. They feel they need to lie in order to keep the ship afloat, but we all see past it.Lying and manipulating the public in order to achieve political goals seem to be the hallmarks of this administration.(3)>>the gas pump to grocery store aisles. The price of oil has gone up significantly over the past six months, after crashing last year due to the huge drop in demand because of the pandemic. With the pandemic finally beginning to subside in the US, lots of people are looking to make up for the summer vacations they missed last year. And the most basic rule of economics is that when demand outpaces supply, prices go up. Unlike most members of OPEC, the powerful cartel that has direct influence over oil production, "we don't have a national oil company with spare capacity to bring to market. So whereas, say, the king of Saudi Arabia can just decide to pump more or less oil, the president doesn't have that option.He can, of course, ask the members of OPEC to bring more oil to market — and the Biden administration has done that. The answer was no he don't . I guess it's part of the green agenda to force people out of their gas powered cars .  NOW California gas prices hit an average price of $4.676 , setting the highest recorded average price for regular gasoline, according to AAA. America’s largest state by population has the highest gas prices in the country. The national average dropped slightly to $3.413 Sunday. California inflation is also higher than any state in America . Grocery stores are now stacking hidden charges , while goods are not being restocked on purpose . It's AS if the federal government is punishing it's citizens .  (4)>>Joe Biden's poll numbers are tanking along with Kamala Harris. Except independents. You know, those who are not political junkies like most who comment here. But people who look around and see how Biden handled Afghanistan, the southern border, inflation, shortages of everything, etc.They look at that and decide they want something and somebody else. 500 K was expected because there are still a LOT of people out of work (lazy...) after COVID and the expectation was that they would get jobs after losing their free Federal $$$. Companies are desparate to get workers but people are still sitting back and playing games all day.BTW, over 700K have died due to COVID on Biden's watch. He's closing in on Trump's 400K and should get there before years end.Suffolk University released a poll that found a startlingly low approval rating for Vice President Kamala Harris: 28 percent. That’s lower even than Vice President Dick Cheney, who was previously known as the least popular vice president in modern American history.Harris has been the subject of repeated controversy in 2021, with many disparaging leaks from inside the Biden administration painting a less-than-flattering picture of the vice president.(5)>>when put into proper context, the recent jobs figures are, at best, a huge disappointment. The Job report was not good . There are still millions out of work . The jobs available now are hourly wage jobs . Not Salary . The "businesses cant find workers" problem is homemade by the businesses. It's not the virus , but the LOCK DOWNS caused massive layoffs last year .  Of course no one wants to spend 10 hours a day in your kitchen making food for 6 bucks an hour. Pay livable wages and people will want to work.Also, yanking half a million or so people out of our population with coronavirus last year because businesses were too greedy to close or give their workers proper protection couldn't have helped anything. Biden laid blame for the sluggish growth of U.S. jobs on the “impact of the Delta variant” of the coronavirus. But he also claimed that his American Rescue Plan and vaccination strategy have helped buoy the economy even as the Delta variant has spurred a resurgence in the Covid-19 pandemic.Many economists expected nearly 1 million jobs to be added to the economy. but the total was just 266,000, a significant slowdown in growth.(6)>>Hence, the move to drop US$ as the universal currency will not be based on geopolitical reasons but a recognition by other nations that they are being exploited. The share of US dollar reserves held by central banks fell to 59 percent—its lowest level in 25 years—during the fourth quarter of 2020, according to the IMF’s Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER) survey. Some analysts say this partly reflects the declining role of the US dollar in the global economy, in the face of competition from other currencies used by central banks for international transactions. If the shifts in central bank reserves are large enough, they can affect currency and bond markets.United States' reliance on economic sanctions to coerce other countries is gradually losing its effectiveness and slowly degrading one of Washington's most influential tools in international affairs, the power of the U.S. dollar. The greenback stands in a class of its own as the most popular and robust currency across the international banking system, out sizing its next largest competitor, the euro, a by a factor of nearly three to one.Already having conducted more than $5 billion in e-renminbi transactions, China has opened its digital currency up to foreigners. Next year, when Beijing hosts the Winter Olympic Games, authorities are expecting to let the world test drive its technological achievement.The U.S., by contrast, is having trouble even concluding its multi-year exploration into the possibility of an e-dollar. In fact, an upcoming Federal Reserve paper on a potential U.S. digital currency won’t take a position on whether the central bank of the United States will, or even should, create one.Looking at the economy from a wider scope and realizing that the US and global economy are in the midst of a massive bubble imploding, there's a strong possibility that this will point to further weakness in economic data points as we move along.  (7)>>YES, KARMA is a bitch . It appears that US sanctions have reversed and now are doing more harm to Americans than any other country under US sanctions .According to the president’s Export Council, the United States has imposed more than 40 trade sanctions against about three‐​dozen countries since 1993.The council estimates that those sanctions have cost American exporters $15 billion to $19 billion in lost annual sales overseas and caused long‐​term damage to U.S. companies–lost market share and reputations abroad as unreliable suppliers.Trade sanctions seldom work because of the competitive global marketplace and the nature of regimes most likely to arouse America’s ire. Although the United States is by far the world’s largest economy, its global economic leverage is limited. The United States accounts for only 13 percent of the world’s merchandise exports and 16 percent of its imports. If Washington seeks to punish another country by unilaterally withholding exports, such as farm products, computers, or oil‐​drilling services, other global suppliers stand ready to fill the gap. Right now we have a supply chain problem here in the US as what you would expect in another country facing US sanctions on their economy . For , what is going on right now its too much of a coincidence ?
