The Southern Baptists denomination’s leadership has tricked the organization into manufacturing the evidence that will be used to accuse it.

DOJ investigating clergy sex abuse, Southern Baptists say

By AP, 13 August 2022

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention said Friday that several of the denomination’s major entities are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in the wake of its multiple problems related to clergy sex abuse.

The SBC’s Executive Committee has received a subpoena, but no individuals have been subpoenaed at this point, according to the committee’s lawyers.

“This is an ongoing investigation and we are not commenting on our discussions with DOJ,” they said.

The statement from SBC leaders – including Executive Committee members, seminary presidents and heads of mission organizations – gave few details about the investigation, but indicated it dealt with widespread sexual abuse problems that have rocked the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S.

They aren’t talking about the details even though the subpoena was issued around Friday. I’d say that the organization’s members have both a right and need to know what the FBI is demanding from the organization.

“Individually and collectively each SBC entity is resolved to fully and completely cooperate with the investigation,” the statement said. “While we continue to grieve and lament past mistakes related to sexual abuse, current leaders across the SBC have demonstrated a firm conviction to address those issues of the past and are implementing measures to ensure they are never repeated in the future.”

Having read the report, I suspect the boldfaced there is the motive.

There was no immediate comment from the Justice Department about the investigation.

Earlier this year, an SBC sex abuse task force released a blistering 288-page report from outside consultant, Guidepost Solutions. The firm’s seven-month independent investigation found disturbing details about how denominational leaders mishandled sex abuse claims and mistreated victims.

The report focused specifically on how the SBC’s Executive Committee responded to abuse cases, revealing that it had secretly maintained a list of clergy and other church workers accused of abuse. The committee later apologized and released the list, which had hundreds of accused workers on it.

I’ve blogged on that Guidepost report before. Here’s the TL;DR on that report: SBC national leadership did nothing about reports of sexual misconduct over several decades because they had no authority by which to investigate. Every time, they referred the matter to local church & law enforcement authorities. They did maintain a file on such accusations–that’s what bureaucracies do, is maintain records–but the implication, that they were the head of a highly organized rape-and-molestation ring infesting Christianity that has a history of protecting criminals, is pure fabrication.

Member churches are autonomous and the national rules as written, didn’t mention anything about potential criminal conduct as a requirement for a church to remain in good standing.

The report is 100% a hatchet job.

A Guidepost spokesperson declined to comment on news of the DOJ probe.

One should note that Guidepost Solutions is a Leftist organization, not Christian. Now that the SBC leadership paid the SJWs to find the servants of Christ lacking, the SJWs are calling in the artillery using their misleading “findings”.

Details will presumably follow… but this tactic resembles the Steele Dossier and possibly the Mar-A-Lago raid as well. One entity manufactures incriminating evidence and provides it to a supposedly independent co-conspirator in order to legitimize hostile action. Everything inside the State, nothing outside the State and nothing against the State. Something like that, eh Mussolini?

If a Christian invoked the FBI then he should be disfellowed for violating Scripture about involving secular authorities to judge believers regarding our practice of Christianity. But my hot-take guess is that a Guidepost employee did it after the SBC refused to enact their toxic ‘recommendations’. Would that be considered ‘proof’ that the SBC ‘protects sex offenders’?

Uh-oh! Failures of government can no longer be handled by pretending it never happened!

Reports of armed intruder prompt lockdown at El Mirage school; suspect arrested

h ttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/thompson-ranch-elementary-school-in-el-mirage-on-lockdown-after-reported-armed-intruder

By Staff, 12 August 2022

EL MIRAGE, Ariz. – All students are safe after an El Mirage elementary school went on lockdown for reports of an armed man on campus.

Staff members at Thompson Ranch Elementary School had called police at around 10:30 a.m. Friday morning. The school went into lockdown for several hours as police tried to find the reported gunman, but no one was found.

“Today we received a call of a man with a gun at the school,” El Mirage PD said in a statement. “PD responded and never found the person or could confirm a subject with a gun.”

Police later said in a news conference that the suspect fled the scene and is described as a Black or Hispanic man with a tattoo on his forehead. He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and black shorts. The suspect, according to a statement released by officials with Dysart Unified School District, has been arrested.

His identity being withheld suggests he’s <18yo. Yellow & black clothing suggests gang colors, although I can’t confirm.

A “suspicious package” was also located, and children in the area were evacuated. No details were released about the contents of the package.

Probably drugs. This has every indicator of a drug deal gone wrong. Yoofs wearing gang colors, suspicious packages, no witnesses except an unfortunately nearby high-security facility in which somebody looked out a window and hit the panic alarm.

Children were later brought to their parents, and police said that there is no active threat.

No active threat to the kids, at least. Parents were not so lucky:

According to police, three parents were arrested for allegedly trying to force their way onto school campus during the lockdown.

Investigators said parents were not allowed on campus during the lockdown, and as a result of a physical confrontation to parents, police used a stun device on a man and a woman. One of the three arrested could face felony charges because he had a gun on him as he was trying to get on campus to get his child.

SkyFOX captured video of a person being carted out of campus on a stretcher. Police said he was one of the people who had been shot with the stun gun.

Wherever would parents have gotten the idea to charge through a heavily armed police cordon into an active-shooter situation in order to keep their kid safe? Uvalde, of course. I understand why cop culture is insular–factors from crazy work hours to most interactions with the general public naturally being hostile–but if society has reached the point at which parents are willing to charge tactical police into live-fire situations, then it’s obvious that closing ranks and doubling down on controlling the situation is not going to reduce the tension.

This is obviously a trust issue… and it’s been a long time coming. The Leftists have been allowed to turn our schools into Marxist horror factories, and the police do nothing until the kids lash out… like they never did before the Leftists came along.

Which is it? Are police the avenging angels of society or the paid thugs of GAE? Only police can answer that question and they can’t have it both ways anymore. 

In the short term, closure on Uvalde would restore some trust. People need to see the perps punished, which would begin with the POS officer-in-charge… “I forgot muh radio”… and end with tracing the Deep State actors to a showdown. People obviously are not going to forget Uvalde if the authorities just pretend it didn’t happen.

There’s a lot of that these days. Catastrophic government heavyhandedness and incompetence, then in the aftermath, they try to just memory-hole it. Hello, Covid-19 medical tyranny! “Take the vaxx, you misinformed dissident. You’re killing Grandma if you don’t take the vaxx. You’ll lose your job if you don’t take the vaxx. We’ll put you on a list and toss you in a quarantine camp and ban you from travel and… and… we now advise that the vaxx is optional. Hey, did you hear about Johnny Depp’s huge lawsuit?”

Screw. You. Authorities.

I cannot un-see. I cannot let it go. Justice demands closure, not omerta.

It seems that some parents in El Mirage, Arizona agree with me.

In the long-term, police need to decide where their loyalties lie. The State has openly chosen to be the enemy of the people. Police were able to serve the State while being trusted by the people thanks to short American attention spans, but that’s not happening any longer. The damage the State is doing to us is more than we are able to forget.

Being the rare kind of crazy that I am, I decided to spend Saturday reading the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, better described as the Climate Change Agenda 2030 Wish List of 2022. I hit an interesting snag: while the conservative world is abuzz about the new 87,000 armed IRS agents authorized by the Act…

…They aren’t in the Act. I may have misread it… it’s 725 pages with no index or table of contents, and the changes it makes are typically typographical alterations to other texts of other bills as amended into the United States Code, which intentionally makes them nearly impossible to comprehend. But after several scans and keyword searches, I didn’t find it. This excerpt is more typical:

h ttps://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22122279-inflation-reduction-act-of-2022

Starting Page 33

For necessary expenses of the Internal Revenue Service to support taxpayer services and enforcement programs, including rent payments; facilities services; printing; postage; physical security; headquarters and other IRS-wide administration activities; research and statistics of income; telecommunications; information technology development, enhancement, operations, maintenance, and security; the hire of passenger motor vehicles; the operations of the Internal Revenue Service Oversight Board; and other services as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109, at such rates as may be determined by the Commissioner, $25,326,400,000, to remain available until September 30, 8 2031

5 U.S.C. 3109 is the temporary hiring of experts and consultants. They do talk about operations and site security but that doesn’t sound like the banksters getting a private army.

What’s up? I finally sourced the number to an IRS modernization proposal:

THE AMERICAN FAMILIES PLAN TAX COMPLIANCE AGENDA

h ttps://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/The-American-Families-Plan-Tax-Compliance-Agenda.pdf

May 2021

I can’t even do a screen cap, it’s such a wall of badly formatted numbers, but look on Page 16 and know that “FTE” means “full-time employees”. The hiring is spread over 10 years and not specific to tax enforcement.

So, the 87,000 armed IRS goons is a false threat. The scare goes back to a tweet by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Seems that nobody checked him. Granted, these bills are written specifically to not be readable, assuming they’re even finished at the moment of passage, but whose fault is that? Looking at YOU, high-ranking careerist Republicans!

In fact, I’ll go one step better and explain why you shouldn’t be worried at all about IRS modernization: incompetence and plutocracy.

Democrats’ $80 billion wager: A bigger IRS will be a better IRS

h ttps://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/08/06/inflation-reduction-act-irs/

By Jacob Bogage, 6 August 2022

The bill, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, would put $80 billion toward beefing up the IRS, in line with liberals’ long-term goals to strengthen tax collection and enforcement on corporations and high-income earners, while relieving low-income taxpayers of cumbersome and frightening audits. Some of the additional revenue would go to pay for the largest-ever U.S. investment in clean energy technology.

The idea is that the government could bring in more money by examining corporate and high-income returns than it does by pursuing lower- or middle-income taxpayers who make mistakes on their returns or underpay their taxes by small amounts. The IRS in recent years has grown more dependent on those types of audits because they are relatively inexpensive: They’re automated, and they preserve the agency’s limited personnel resources. But they also mostly fall on taxpayers who can’t afford to fight back by spending hours on the phone with the tax agency or hiring lawyers.

…More than 4 in 10 of its [2021] audits targeted recipients of the earned income tax credit, one of the country’s main anti-poverty measures.

Oh no no no, they didn’t do that because it was inexpensive. The auditors chose the simplest audits… a one-line tax credit…because they’re incompetent, lazy and chosen for di-worsity. Should they audit Bezos’ lucrative yet well-defended empire? Or, audit ten EITC tax credits then go back to your soap operas on Hulu? “I did ten audits today, boss!”

On top of that, once the plutocrats got established, they weren’t interested in a strong IRS that was capable of causing them trouble:

Lookit that, a Federal government that didn’t like its own taxmen for an entire decade. Who would ever have thought to see it?

Of course, now that there’s no green left in the pig trough, boosting tax revenue has become an urgent problem. But I read the Inflation Act. They’re planning to go after cryptocurrencies… rather bad timing on that, the numbers from Coinbase don’t suggest a lot of capital gains for this year… and automate tax reporting so that audits no longer get triggered by basic math mistakes.

Yours or theirs.

Speaking at a news conference Wednesday, Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), the head of the Senate Republican Conference, said the proposed spending would “put the IRS on steroids” and in total amounted to about “a million per IRS agent.”

“You don’t need that many IRS agents to go after a few people they say are very, very rich,” Barrasso said, adding that it would hit “families, farmers and the small businesses of Americans, that’s who’s going to bear the burden of this legislation.”

But experts say that’s a condition brought about largely by GOP policies, which drove the IRS into more audits of poorer taxpayers by depriving the agency of the resources it would have taken to go after wealthier targets who shelter potentially much higher sums.

Wealthier targets such as Nancy Pelosi’s stock-trading husband. You see the IRS’ problem.

It’s a condition brought about by a refusal to match what the Bushes and Bidens are willing to pay for top-shelf tax talent. IRS doesn’t need 87,000 new employees being paid by the GS scale. It needs 1,000 new employees each being paid >$1M to go after the crime families. Employees exempt from all forms of D.I.E. harassment and supervision by politically-appointed department heads.

Which will happen the week after Christ inaugurates His Millennial Kingdom, or when pigs fly, depending on your religious beliefs.

In conclusion, nothing has changed in Tax World. IRS will continue to squeeze blood from turnips because the plutocrats who wrote the laws to ensure they never pay their fair share, will have no idea why their puppet regime is bankrupt.

A long one from the heart today.

I walked into my local city’s Planning Commission the other day. Routine, job-related paperwork but I hadn’t been there since the Plandemic began. Not only were they still practicing the Face Diaper… there were multiple, large mandate signs in emergency orange on every wall. Of course, I was unmasked and ready with a couple choice comments, but the clerk didn’t say anything. He didn’t come out from behind a six-foot, wall-to-wall plexiglass barricade, either. People stared at me as I walked past. Every one masked up.

Those warning signs weren’t for me, you see. Those warning signs were to terrorize the employees into continued Narrative obedience, much like a motivational poster. The proof of it was that the signs mandated masks even and specifically for the vaxxed and boosted. Covidism has gone well beyond farce. “The vaxx will keep you safe, but only if you keep getting vaxxed, and still not then, so you need to mask up and barricade and social distance.”

They actually believe that. Still.

They must surely have noticed me standing there, visibly disobedient yet somehow not dead. Not to mention all the other unvaxxed not yet dead they see outside. Not to mention the tacit admissions that the vaxx was a failure as a preventative measure. But they obey anyway.

One could argue that they’re just obeying a meaningless order in return for continued employment. It wouldn’t be true here. Warning signs everywhere, barricades that interfere with daily work, no end in sight, justified by increasingly silly promises of safety and good health? What’s happening here is a pinch of incense to Caesar, not “I pay you wear bag over ugly face”.

“I don’t believe the Lie. I just obey it” is a bad idea. That’s another feedback loop that even we Christians practice. If you believe this but behave that, cognitive dissonance happens. You’ll end up believing & behaving the same way, and if you are never allowed to quit the behavior then it’ll be your beliefs that change.

That’s one reason why Christ ordered us to behave despite our status of being forgiven. Beliefs and behaviors are ultimately inseparable. One leads to the other.

I have some more examples to give. The Mar-A-Lago raid on Trump is making the rounds. Others have discussed the political implications but I’ll discuss the motive: why they did such a discrediting, preposterous and high-profile deed?

It’s a purity spiral.

Totalism demands polarization. Us vs Them. It contains several feedback loops to reinforce it, mainly peer pressure (also the abovementioned behavior modification). This results in purity spirals in which the people compete against each other to be the best embodiment of the Narrative. The opinion of outsiders is not a factor; they compete and measure themselves only against their peers.

Orange Man polarization happened in 2016. Clinton good, Trump bad. Are YOU a good person? Prove it. Prove your devotion to the Cause. Then the purity spiral lit up and proceeded from “Trump’s a buffoon” to “Trump’s a Russian agent” to today’s J6 Commission “Trump is an insurrectionist against Democracy and America and a mortal threat to everything we ever held dear. Once we break his followers, the world will see the righteousness of our victimhood!”

Why did the FBI commit such an ill-advised strongman tactic? Because they aren’t on the J6 Commission. They’re getting one-upped! Sidelined! Outed as NOT true believers in Orange Man Bad! They weren’t thinking about due process or long-term consequences. They were thinking about keeping up with the Joneses. Or the Cohens. Jesuits. Whichever.

What’s the next step, now that they didn’t find anything? Twofold: the nonparticipants will blame the participants for making Trump look innocent while the participants double down and/or manufacture evidence. Because the one thing none of them can do, is admit Trump was just proven innocent.

Finding headlines to confirm was easy:

CNN panel panics that FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago will help Trump in 2024 election: ‘A very good day for Donald Trump’

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/cnn-panel-mar-a-lago-raid-benefit-trump

Former federal attorney suggests Trump is guilty because he invoked 5th Amendment rights. The backlash is bipartisan.

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/daniel-goldman-trump-fifth-amendment

The latter is so ridiculous that Blaze even found a NYC prosecutor denouncing him. The former is upset that Trump might gain political benefit from the raid, not that the raid might have been unlawful or a bad precedent.

The raid also serves to polarize the MAGA side of Clinton vs Trump. But there’s no Totalism happening there. Remember when Trump was booed by his own supporters for continuing to push the vaxx? That kind of open dissent indicates the LACK of a purity spiral.

Let’s proceed to a foreign example of Totalist behavior.

Ukraine war: Estonia and Finland seek end to Russian tourist visas for Europe

h ttps://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-war-estonia-and-finland-seek-end-to-russian-tourist-visas-for-europe/a-62758209

By Richard Connor, 9 August 2022

Estonia and Finland’s leaders are calling on fellow European countries to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian citizens, saying they should not be allowed to take vacations in Europe as Moscow pursues its war in Ukraine.

The European Union is set to explore the subject of issuing visas to Russians at an informal meeting of interior ministers later this month.

The call from Estonia and Finland came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also aired a proposal against visas for Russians in an interview with The Washington Post. The plea was echoed by Latvia, which has already decided to stop issuing the visas.

Getting a little big for your britches there, Baltic speedbumps. You fast-track your applications to NATO, grasping at the chance to be WW3’s first casualty, then you complain that Russian tourists are bringing you money, then you make demands of the European Union to follow suit.

What did the Estonian and Finnish leaders say?

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on Tuesday tweeted that other European nations should “Stop issuing visas to Russians. Visiting Europe is a privilege, not a human right.” Kallas said it was “time to end tourism from Russia now.”

Kallas also said the issuing of visas to Russians by other members of the Schengen area placed a burden on countries that share borders with Russia.

“More tourists” is a… burden?

Visitors to the Schengen area can move freely within its 26 countries — 22 EU nations plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Another 19 countries outside the area also accept foreigners traveling with a Schengen visa.

Finnish broadcaster YLE reported last week that Russian companies had started to offer bus and car trips from St. Petersburg to the airports of Helsinki and Lappeenranta in Finland.

Those airports have direct connections to several destinations in Europe, with Russia’s second-largest city only about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from the Finnish capital.

Translation, Russian tourists are working around those no-fly restrictions by using ground and sea transportation. That should be a tourism windfall for countries neighboring Russia. Especially in the wake of the Plandemic, those transportation revenues should be welcome. They will certainly be missed when Barbie Kallas gets her no-more-Russian-wealth desire.

Speaking to the same broadcaster on Monday, Kallas’ Finnish counterpart Sanna Marin said she wanted action to stop tourist visas for Russians.

“It is not right that while Russia is waging an aggressive, brutal war of aggression in Europe, Russians can live a normal life, travel in Europe, be tourists,” the prime minister said.

That’s… disturbing. “Russian civilians should not be allowed to live a normal life because Putin is fighting a war somewhere else.” She didn’t make a complaint of espionage, sabotage or even criminal conduct. She just looked at kids on vacation and saw Putler. Textbook polarization/purity spiral. She’s trying to hate Russia more than any of her peers.

That demand for EU to cooperate? That’s the peer enforcement mechanism of purity spiral. The normal reaction should be “screw your demands, we need the money”. But doing so will out that government leader as a dissident amongst the cool kids while Kallas & Marin can brag that they hate Putin enough to harm their own countries.

You might wonder about a PM openly plotting the betrayal of her people & country for a mere one-upping of a Twitter rival. This is a consequence of Totalist “milieu control” aka “hive”. Isolating people in an artificial environment in which the Narrative Is All, makes this sort of cognitive disconnect possible. Also, social media.

Take PM Marin, for example. Per her wikipedia page, Mommy divorced Daddy then married a lesbian. She had no political connections yet went straight from school into politics, made MP at age 30 & PM at age 34. That’s perfect milieu control… she never knew life in which sexual perversion was bad, or in which men were heads of household… or even State… or how the Dirt People live.

How did Finland’s Sanna Marin become the world’s youngest prime minister?

Her ascent – and that of her young, female-dominated cabinet – is a victory for youth and vigour

h ttps://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/how-did-finland-s-sanna-marin-become-the-world-s-youngest-prime-minister-1.4113352

14 December 2019

Marin’s appointment and the fact that her government is made up of 12 women, some younger than herself and among them four party leaders, and seven men attracted attention from around the world, but it came as no shock to the Finns.

Oh, wow. Ohhh. This is gonna be uglier than a Gretchen Whitmer birthday favor.

The Social Democrat may be young, but she is no political ingenue; she cut her political teeth as chair of the Tampere city council, and YouTube clips of her steering sometimes heated council meetings played a large part in her rise to national prominence.

“You can tell she’s tough because she put her council meetings on youTube.” So we could watch some Nordic bewbs bounce when she’s angry, one would suppose, but alas.

Marin is something of a poster child for the egalitarian Nordic model of social democracy. Raised by her mother and her female partner, she comes from what she calls a “rainbow family” and moved around a lot as a child.

Bad sign. Bad sign. Bad sign.

She joined the youth wing of the Social Democratic party and stood for election in Tampere in 2008, but failed to get elected. Undeterred, she stood again in 2012 and was successful, rising to chair of the city council a year later at the age of 28. Despite her humble beginnings and relative lack of experience, she has now reached the pinnacle of Finnish politics.

And it happened as naturally as a Taco Bell burrito. Nobody lacking family connections is head of a major city after ONE YEAR IN POLITICS. Tampere is the second largest Finnish city by area and third most populous. Not a backwater.

“This is the biggest political event in Finland in many years,” says Maria Bäck, lecturer in political science at the University of Helsinki.

More women. The last thing that country should do…. or as it seems, WILL do… is volunteer for a land war in Asia.

“I’m not that surprised that she has become prime minister – it’s probably down to this Nordic model of equality…

It’s equity now. Now that her Cabinet is 60% female.

“…both economically and socially, and It is a little bit special now. Apart from the prime minister being a young woman, we have several other young women at the top of politics.

Part of the political instability in Finland can be put down to the arrival on the scene of the right-wing populist and Eurosceptic Finns Party as a force in the last decade, an event that has put the cat among the political pigeons both in government and opposition parties.

The more traditional parties like the Social Democrats, the Centre and the Agrarian Party are essentially conflict-averse, and for years have put their differences aside to form coalitions for the common good. The Finns Party seemingly have no time for such niceties.

“All of the traditional parties have lost support, some more, some less, to the Finns Party and they are struggling to win back their voters,” says Jenni Karimäki, a colleague of Maria Bäck in the political science department at the University of Helsinki. “This presents an ideological challenge – is it possible to co-operate with the Finns Party in the future?”

Thankfully no, the Finnish nationalists have no intention of reaching across the aisle:

Recent opinion polls show that the Finns Party are now the most popular in the country.

With the Finns Party continuing to ignore the previous tradition of consensus politics, the challenge for Marin and her cabinet is to return to the stable politics… that has characterised previous Finnish governments.

She’s not returning to stable politics. She’s trying to kill her country because she wants the Cool Crowd to accept her.

How do you even reach somebody like that? Who’s never lived a normal life?

End Segue1. Now for Kallas.

Segue2

Wikipedia again:

Born in Tallinn on 18 June 1977, Kaja Kallas is the daughter of Siim Kallas, who was the 14th prime minister of Estonia and later a European Commissioner.

That better explains her relatively fast-paced career as an EU fascist and Estonian PM. But not as fast as Marin.

Someday I’m going to do a post on generational Totalism. It’s a terrible fate. Ask Hunter Biden.

During the Soviet deportations from Estonia, her mother Kristi, six months old at the time, was deported to Siberia with her mother and grandmother in a cattle car and lived there until she was ten years old.

Seems barely relevant. No doubt lots of Estonians have dim attitudes concerning Russia. Fine, but why refuse tourist money? Why refuse to even be on speaking terms with a neighbor?

Kallas graduated from the University of Tartu in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in law… earning an EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration) in economics in 2010.

Education finished in 2010 at age 33. 2014-2018 she was a member of the European Parliament working on the Great Reset aka Digital Single Market. She quit to become the first female leader of the Estonian Reform Party then became PM in early 2021. Straight shot to the top.

She was a vice-chair of the Delegation to the EU–Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee as well as a member of the Delegation to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly and Delegation for relations with the United States.

Cabal confirmed.

In January 2022 Kallas committed Estonia to donating howitzers to Ukraine to assist in its defense against a possible Russian invasion, pending German approval as the howitzers were originally purchased from Germany. When Germany delayed in giving an answer, Estonia sent American-made Javelin anti-tank missiles instead in the first weeks of February 2022.

Cabal ABSOLUTELY confirmed. She was the GAE cutout for pre-arming Ukraine against Russia.

Gotta protect those totally legit bioweapon labs that nobody knows about. If a few Estonian cities get destroyed as a consequence, well, Estonia’s continued existence is not the responsibility of the Estonian Prime Minister now is it?

Her responsibility is shaming EU leaders into punishing Russian tourists for being happy.

End Segue2 & back to the original article.

In comments on Tuesday, Ukraine’s Zelenskyy said it was important to close borders for Russian travelers to the West. Zelenskyy said such restrictions should apply to all Russians, even those who had left the country and oppose the war.

In Zelensky’s case, this demand for extermination is not Totalism. His people have been murdering innocents since Christ, the Ukrainians since Holodomor and nursing a grudge against Moscow for a long time. He even stands to profit enormously from the death of all Russia.

But the leaders of tiny nations, unnecessarily risking their peoples’ survival in order to match Zelensky’s ‘devotion to the cause’? Totalism is what makes that kind of stupid happen. Questions of gain/loss and keeping the electricity on take a back seat to being king of the hill.

That hill is, very intentionally, the only reality and people they know. Literally so, for Marin. Which is why they can cheerfully betray millions of innocent… numbers on a spreadsheet. Most of whom deserve that fate, anyway, because they’re opposed to Progress.

Russians should “live in their own world until they change their philosophy,” he said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he hoped that “common sense” would eventually prevail in countries calling for Russians to be barred from traveling to the EU.

Watching the GAE death cult struggle to provoke its own destruction on a global scale is a morbidly fascinating experience. Speak of the GAE devil,

Biden signs ratification documents approving NATO membership for Finland and Sweden

h ttps://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/09/biden-to-ratify-finland-and-swedens-nato-membership-bids.html

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed ratification documents Tuesday bringing Finland and Sweden one step closer to joining the NATO alliance.

″[Russian President Vladimir] Putin thought he could break us apart,” Biden said from the East Room of the White House. “Our alliance is closer than ever, it is more united than ever, and after Finland and Sweden join we will be stronger than ever.”

Last week, the Senate voted 95 to 1 to ratify the entrance of Finland and Sweden into the world’s most powerful military alliance.

What a coincidence this happened on the same day as “we call for banishing all Russians everywhere into the outer dark of Russia!”. Was denouncing every Russian man, woman and child for the crime of living a normal life the price of letting Estonia & Finland die first for the GAE?

Purity would demand no less.

When I walked the halls of the Planning Commission, I as a person felt exactly what Russia feels as a nation. I just want to continue my life. I don’t hate anybody. We can do business. Normalize relations after a bad time. But everybody backs away from me because I don’t love the devil’s lies. They hate me, my family, my existence, and most of all, my walking around where they can see me, because my presence alone proves the lie to everything they want to believe about me. They don’t even know my name; they just see me living a normal life. And they shun me for it.

Totalism.

Is the term “Schlong Covid” safe for work? Tucker Carlson used it publicly so I think it is, and we’re referring to a virus not a schlong, but it’s all so confusing anymore. I expect “woman” to become NSFW any day, and this post won’t convince you otherwise.

Sooo, how well are our power-tripping fascist bureaucrats in lab coats applying the hard-won lessons of Fauci’s Pet Project Released On Schedule?

First, the obvious: there was no “Fifteen Days To Flatten the Curve” for Pride Month. Schlong Covid is the kind of disease for which that would actually work, as in, thwarting the people about to intentionally spread the disease from doing so. Didn’t happen. Wasn’t even suggested by anybody.

Next, and I was waiting for THIS headline to pop…

As the city now has nearly 450 confirmed monkeypox cases, we learn that the SFDPH is only contact tracing for a fraction of those cases, with one department email saying “Don’t want to say too much, or beg more questions.”

Prepare to be quoted… forever.

When San Francisco Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency over monkeypox in the city two weeks ago, it seemed like a real all-hands-on-deck move to throw every resource possible at the problem. But now, with infections still on the rise and currently standing at 444 confirmed cases in the city (as of Thursday’s numbers), we learn the response may not be as thorough as we’d thought. A disconcerting report today from the Bay Area News Group reveals internal SF Department of Public Health emails showing the city is doing only a very small amount of contact tracing among those who’ve tested positive, instead basically leaving it up to those people to contact anyone they may have infected.

The report is behind a paywall, hence my using this secondary article.

Per the News Group, the DPH consciously decided to forego most contact tracing “about a month ago,” which would be a couple weeks before Breed’s state of emergency declaration.

Contact tracing was never about health… and there’s the smoking gun.

The health department is doing some contact tracing, but only for a few certain, specific demographics. And while they were originally doing contact tracing for every case, they’ve pulled back on that effort significantly, with the rationale that people just aren’t disclosing the names of all of their partners anyway.

In any functional government, “we can’t do it” would be grounds for firing everybody and disbanding the bureau.

“This made it difficult to contact trace all known cases,” one DPH email said. “We are currently doing case investigations and contact tracing for youth under 18 years of age; any person who could become pregnant, and people who are pregnant, among others.”

I’m surprised they’re doing even that much. Any <18s with Schlong Covid were raped by homosexuals, at least statutorily, and everybody can get pregnant now. Or, nobody can get pregnant thanks to Fauci’s Fertility Vaccine. Like I said, it’s all so confusing.

(That criteria does not include LGTBQIA+ men and the Latinx populations, who are currently experiencing the highest numbers of cases.)

And on that final note of equity…

California’s monkeypox response so far has been ineffective. Let’s apply lessons from COVID

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/californias-monkeypox-response-far-ineffective-165903476.html

By Conrado Bárzaga for the Desert Sun, 2 August 2022

Monkeypox is not a pandemic. Yet.

That didn’t age…

The World Health Organization declared on July 23 that this monkeypox outbreak is a “public health emergency of international concern,” and California Gov. Gavin Newsom also declared a state emergency on Monday.

…well. “It’s not a pandemic. Relax. It’s only a local, state and Federal public health emergency of international concern. Which is totally different from a pandemic. Remember to wear your face masks!”

We hope these declarations will be a wake-up call for everyone. We hope the wake-up call is heard in the Coachella Valley and in the California Department of Public Health, as well in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Coachella Valley, home to the Coachella Superspreader Event, oops, Music Festival back in April. I wonder where the contact tracing might have lead to?

California is approaching the monkeypox outbreak with ineffective, lukewarm, and misguided measures.

There are important lessons we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics that are important to apply, now and in the future:

1. 1. equity matters;
   2. no one is safe when someone is not safe; and
   3. stigmatizing diseases or communities results in the politicization of public health.

Well, dayumn. Were THOSE the lessons we learned from Covid?

1. identity politics uber alles;
2. none are safe until all are safe;
3. Sodomy is a perfectly healthy activity that just happens to make up over 99.8% of Schlong Covid victims.

If 99.8% of poxed people were devout Christians, how quickly do you think the Regime would put us against the wall? That was a trick question. Our clergy would lock the doors against their own congregations before the Regime got the chance, because that’s what they did last time.

Hi, I’m a devout Christian who doesn’t go to church anymore. Ask me why.

Equity in healthcare means providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.

Does that mean we lock down the entire planet whenever a community or region gets sick, or take no containment actions even against specific people known to be intentionally spreading it? Because they’ve now done it both ways in the last two years.

It’s all so confusing. Not.

…No one is safe when someone is not safe. Men who have sex with men do not live in isolation in a fantasy gayland. They are our brothers, children, fathers, cousins, uncles, nephews, coworkers, friends, and neighbors. It is almost certain that without proper protection, which existing vaccines can provide, members of this group will not be the only community members affected. Other populations that today have lower risks also will be vulnerable: seniors, women, and children. Viruses do not discriminate. Also, although sexual contact is one way it spreads, Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease.

We ALREADY have the data that disproves all of that paragraph completely. Monkeypox spread is overwhelming Sodomites who know they’re infected, continuing to engage in rampant promiscuity. Two months is way more than enough time for it to spread in a gym or hotel somewhere in the world.

And no, no Sodomite is friend or family to me. I do not associate with the willfully self-destructive and they do not associate with Christ. Their problems are not ours.

They are not like us.

My final point is that public health is a science. It is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. It is based on the study of diseases, risks, and behaviors related to a given population.

My next-to-final point is that San Fransicko just put the lie to that, too. If science says Gay then science doesn’t get to be done anymore.

The one lesson learned from all the pseudo-medical anarcho-tyranny is this: there are many people in positions of authority, who want this world to burn.

The infamous Pelosi Trip To Taiwan gave me a bad feeling. One the one hand, China interpreted the visit as nearly a declaration of war, but they didn’t state how the visit of a single not-diplomat could be so important. Pelosi is not State Department. Or statesman of ANY kind. The bitch has only two gears, insider trading and drunken rages, neither of which makes her attractive for high-stakes diplomacy.

Well, she wasn’t drunk. (Unlike her husband, who just pleaded not guilty to DUI and “something else in his system”.)

And on the other hand, Potato Joe Biden did not not refuse to prohibit the opposite action of denying her trip. That’s what gave me a bad feeling: neither side of this incident talked straight.

h ttps://www.foxnews.com/opinion/blame-bidens-waffling-pelosi-taiwan-trip-international-incident

Every year, members of Congress travel to Taiwan to meet with Taiwanese officials, educate themselves on this key national security issue, and strengthen diplomatic bi-lateral relations between our two countries.

Umm. Careful there, Senator.

In 2016, I [Senator Tom Cotton] personally visited Taiwan with Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain…

Burn in Hell, Songbird.

…and a large Congressional delegation. Our visit occurred without a major incident, even though I was travelling with one of the highest-ranking members of Congress and a former nominee for president.

Similarly, President Trump dispatched cabinet and sub-cabinet level officials to Taiwan. Contrary to claims made by Biden administration flacks, the United States does send senior officials to Taiwan—and does so often.

Whatever one thinks of Nancy Pelosi, she is entitled to travel to Taiwan.

I accept that she lawfully went there as a private citizen. That being said, when you reach a certain level of “I am a career agent and representative of the United States government” the State Department gets a veto on your international itinerary… in order to prevent EXACTLY this kind of incident.

What did the State Department have to say about her trip?

When asked in July about the Speaker’s planned trip, Biden responded, “the military thinks it’s not a good idea right now. But I don’t know what the status of it is.“

This was an unbelievably stupid and reckless thing to say. In two sentences the president admitted to internal divisions within the U.S. government, a reticence within the military, and personal ambivalence, if not ignorance. Making matter worse, the president has made no effort to correct his obvious error.

Not a Bidengaffe, then. This was not a topic that the Executive Branch could leave at ‘senior moment’ so its refusal to be comprehensible must have been intentional. As was the comment about military approval in place of State Dept. approval. That was a calculated threat that China matched by making their complaints via military channels.

If it was indeed just an innocent trip, then Pelosi proceeding with it when it obviously upset China is, at bare minimum, a demonstration of total incompetence at government service. You don’t take the vacation when a reasonable consequence could be freakin’ World War 3.

So… what’s this REALLY about?

Pelosis sold $5M in Nvidia stock ahead of vote on chipmaker subsidies

h ttps://nypost.com/2022/07/27/pelosis-sold-5m-in-nvidia-stock-ahead-of-chipmaker-subsidy-vote/

As a Capitol Hill vote looms this week on a controversial, $52 billion subsidy to chipmakers, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband quietly offloaded a chunk of shares in semiconductor giant Nvidia, according to public filings.

Paul Pelosi sold the $5 million trove of shares Tuesday at a loss of more than $300,000. It’s unclear whether the couple sold their entire stake or just a portion of it. They could still own as much as $6.5 million in Nvidia, according to congresstrading.com.

Meanwhile, the Pelosis still hold a stake in semiconductor company Micron worth as much as $500,000, filings show.

The Nvidia selloff is a dramatic reversal for the Pelosis. Paul began snapping up semiconductor stocks in June 2021 — the same month the first draft of the bill was introduced. He bought between $2.75 million and $11.5 million over the past year and has been actively trading these shares the entire time the bill has wended its way through Congress.

Just last month as the bill moved towards a vote, now slated for Thursday in the House, Pelosi bought between $1 million and $5 million more in Nvidia shares.

Textbook insider trading but like I said, it’s legal for Congress. But here’s the catch, Taiwan’s TSMC is the foundry that makes the physical chips for NVIDIA. And most other semiconductor “manufacturers”. Those tech stocks are worthless if TSMC goes down. As would happen if US-PRC goes hot.

But they would go up if TSMC escaped to USA, leaving China without any advanced chipmaking.

Under the STOCK Act, which was passed in 2012 and is the only legislation that reins in lawmakers’ trades, most members of Congress are still free to make trades that could conflict with their legislative duties — as long as they disclose the information within 45 days.

You read that right. Insider trading is a crime except for Congress, who gave themselves a legal exemption. Which explains:

1. why politicians spend millions of dollars to secure a job that barely pays D.C. rent,
2. why same politicians love to be the whores of literally Satanist banksters openly conspiring to exterminate most of humanity,
3. there are hedge funds whose gimmick is mirroring the investments of Congressmen,
4. why normal Americans think politicians are lying treacherous thieves, and
5. why I’m willing to talk about the Speaker of the House doing financial frauds. They aren’t crimes… until she loses reelection.

There are three bills that you need to know about, the CHIPS For America Act of 2021, the United States Innovation and Competition Act (USICA) of 2021 and the CHIPS And Science Act of 2022.

The first created the legal framework for development of a self-contained, public-private microchip foundry in the United States, from college training to new Cabinet officials. However, it did not contain any actual funding. By now, of course, whenever you hear about a public-private organization which is overseen by a single unelected bureaucrat, you should be thinking Deep State.

USA does need microchip foundries; it’s insane that the world has become this dependent upon Taiwan; but the foundry that will be created by CHIPS will be paid for with taxpayer money but operated for private profit.

The USICA allocated $50.2 billion funding.

CHIPS 2022 allocated an additional $52.7 billion, with the additional stipulation that nobody receiving the funds can expand their business with China, Russia or other country on the GAE naughty list. It was signed into law less than a week before Pelosi’s Taiwan trip, when she met with TSMC leaders.

US to Stop TSMC, Intel From Adding Advanced Chip Fabs in China

h ttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-stop-tsmc-intel-adding-005620200.html

By Debby Wu, Daniel Flatley and Jenny Leonard, 1 August 2022

(Bloomberg) — As the US Congress passed an historic $52 billion federal program to boost domestic chipmaking capabilities, it included one significant caveat: Companies that receive the funding have to promise not to increase their production of advanced chips in China.

It’s a condition that will certainly add to escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing. The curbs will hit companies like Intel Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., leading chipmakers that have tried to build their businesses in China. TSMC won’t be able to substantially upgrade or expand its existing facilities, effectively losing some growth opportunities in the world’s biggest semiconductor market.

Specifically, the Chips and Science Act bars companies that get federal funding from materially expanding production of chips more advanced than 28-nanometers in China — or a country of concern like Russia — for 10 years.

A large chunk of the federal grant is expected to go to Intel, TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co., all of which are now building new chip fabrication facilities worth tens of billions in the US.

GAE is doing the carrot & stick on TSMC. This is frustrating because we don’t need TSMC. The only reason USA is not already the equal of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is the massive offshoring of our capability by the Bolsheviks and other sympathizers over the last century. We could easily make up lost ground, if only we weren’t being poisoned by our rulers.

Worse, forcing this decision is bringing our countries even closer to war. I just saw the headline that PRC is breaking off diplomatic contact with GAE.

But that STILL doesn’t explain why Pelosi went to Taiwan. She’s not going to hide a thumb drive of trade secrets in her hip flask or smuggle out some high-value targets while an enraged China has her under a microscope. And we surely have secure communications.

My theory: Pelosi DID go to Taiwan as a representative… of the DEEP STATE. The transnational globalists. Forget reunification, TSMC is now in the precarious position of being forced to do exclusive business with either China or GAE. Neither option appeals to them.

It’s a perfect time to offer them a THIRD solution.

That’s why she traveled to Taiwan instead of using secure channels… channels operated by the intel community. Can you imagine NSA having a recording of Pelosi discussing financial fraud against Uncle Sam with a foreign power? The blackmail potential alone would be tremendous, never mind power plays by rivals. Or that the fraud would be legal because she’s Congress.

That’s why SCROTUS Joe’s Deep State handlers refused to prohibit the trip, because she was working for them. They didn’t authorize the trip either, in order to send a message to TSMC. Pelosi did the visit being protected by USA despite not being a servant of USA… exactly the deal she intended to offer, money from USA in return for joining the New World Order conspiracy that wants both USA and China ruined.

Which is also why they sent a Congressman: only they have immunity to charges of financial fraud.

That’s also why China was pissed… they know much about the secret powers that run D.C., being one of the largest such powers themselves. How much of Pelosi’s loyalties they know is anybody’s guess, but they obviously don’t own her even though they’ve surely made an offer. Watching her make the trip immediately after CHIPS 2022 passed, but not as a sanctioned Fedgov representative, was strong evidence that another faction was making its move on TSMC.

That’s also why China never voiced their true objections about her trip. They can’t afford to draw attention to those secret owners of Congressmen, now can they? Not China, of all nations.

AND that explains China’s response (other than saber-rattling) of blocking sand shipments to Taiwan. It’s an immediate blow to the semiconductor industry that also has the plausible excuse of being directed at the construction industry. They don’t want this to be TOO obviously about control of TSMC. At the same time, the faster TSMC chooses, the more likely they choose the status quo of continued business with China.

The Deep State plan is to offer TSMC a seat in their inner circle, help them relocate with up to $100 billion of chump change and presto, their new Microchip-Industrial Complex… the critical piece to their Great Reset’s Internet of Things.

I don’t have any direct evidence of my theory. Pelosi’s ultimate loyalties are unclear to me as well, so I’m merely fitting the known facts. What I am sure of, is that per those three bills I mentioned, American semiconductor-manufacturing capability in the future will be controlled by an organization funded by, yet hostile to, the formal government of the US.

And Pelosi owns stock in them.

The latest stink from the FBI is going around naming Heritage America as the real terrorists. I’m not covering that here but this is parallel; a “professor of education” describing what’s even more dangerous to schoolchildren than mass shooter events.

SCHOOL CLOSURES!

5 of the biggest threats today’s K-12 students and educators face don’t involve guns

h ttps://theconversation.com/5-of-the-biggest-threats-todays-k-12-students-and-educators-face-dont-involve-guns-182648

By Elizabeth Zumpe, Visiting Assistant Professor in Educational Leadership, UMass Lowell, 2 August 2022

Disclosure statement: Elizabeth Zumpe’s research has received funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

The warning is appreciated.

While many American students and their parents worry that the next mass shooting could happen at their school, schools are also facing a number of other threats that do not involve guns. Many of these threats are related to the mental health of educators and students.

From 2018 to 2021, both before and during the pandemic, I spent time studying a public middle school in the San Francisco Bay Area that serves a high-poverty community of color. The research involved spending more than 100 hours of observing classes and teacher and staff meetings.

It took two weeks for her to figure out what’s wrong with modern education? She could have just asked… but that way lies heartfelt honesty.

It also involved a series of interviews with 10 teachers and the principal.

Ten rounds of interviews, nine daily shots of gin, eight media pressers, seven mockers mocking, six angry parents, five riots, four Fauci boosters, three layers of face diaper, two bouts of Covid, one blind eye to race realism and zero concern for children.

Here are five of the biggest threats that I identified through my observations.

Not counting the globalist foundation that’s funding her.

1. Trauma among students

2. Worse well-being for teachers and students

3. Staff shortages and turnover

4. Threat of closure

5. Threats from the community

1. Trauma among students

Students often spoke and wrote about traumatic experiences. This included losing parents to murder, imprisonment or deportation.

One of those is not like the others.

Racial minority and low-income students tend to experience significantly more trauma than white students and students from higher-income families.

And government, specifically including Zumpe, does everything possible to continue that trend. WE KNOW FOR A COLD, HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT how to raise kids so they don’t end up hopeless jailbait:

Fatherhood. Father as head of household. And chastity for little Snowflake.

Accept no substitute.

Society has the answers. We know what works. Hell, we were THERE at ‘it works’ in living memory. What changed? First the sexual liberation of women, then society killed off fathers in the frivorce courts, then there just happened to be an explosion in lawless, antisocial EVIL everywhere.

The COVID-19 pandemic created more trauma…

And that was the schools’ doing. Zumpe should be advocating the shutdown of public education, instead she went on an equity rant and demanded that schools monitor children constantly for mental illness.

The Hegelian dialetic is tedious wickedness. It’s everywhere! It never made sense to me until I understood it as “creating problems in order to force the sheep into the preferred solution.” Then lots of stuff made sense.

This obsession with the mental health of children? It started when it wasn’t a problem, then kids were “socially engineered” by their “mental health care providers” until they needed extensive therapy to not go on killing sprees. Inciting fear of poor mental health was how they justified hiring the first wave of quacks… and once they did their jobs, that fear proved justified!

The obsession with “Keeping the World Safe For Dumbocracy?” That path to  safety is kicking the Russian bear in the nuts until it launches nukes, because then the people will demand the extermination of all GAE’s enemies. And lo, the world will become safe for them.

The obsession with food scarcity? As if the poor of USA are too thin! That originally came out of nowhere for me, but it made sense once I realized they really do intend to replace beef with maggot. The only way that’ll happen is… a scarcity of food. So they incite the fear, then use the fear to make the object of the fear happen and we’ll be so fortunate that Killy Gates just happened to finish building BugCo Burgers one month before the famine started.

Anyway, one variation on the Hegelian is using the academic system to plant favorable articles for upcoming agenda items. Zumpe was paid to write this so that when schools complain they’re being forced to close, they can point to this “research” as proof that schools keep kids safe(r).

Foundations and governments love to fund their own research to support their own, pre-existing agenda. It’s called Science, you hateful denier!

Me being scientific, I might revisit this post for similar reasons.

2. Worse well-being for teachers and students

Staff in the school I studied described their middle schoolers as increasingly “shut down,” “fragile,” “beaten down” and “hopeless” with every passing year.

“When will a knight in shining armor take me away from all this?”

“Hello, I’m…”

“Rapist white cis-male privileged TRUMP SUPPORTER!!! <taser taser> Oh, woe is me!”

Since the onset of the pandemic, lower overall well-being of students and teachers has become a nationwide concern. In the 2020-2021 school year, 80% of teachers nationwide reported feelings of burnout. In the 2021-2022 school year, nearly half of students across the U.S. in grades 9 through 12 reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Across the nation, district leaders in the 2021-2022 school year reported a general decline in mental health and well-being of all students and educators as their most pressing concern.

Taking that at face value, we should logically do LESS of what we’ve been doing lately. LESS lockdown-plandemic-mental health maintenance. LESS management by experts.

LESS racial equity.

LESS Lgbtxyzetc.

MORE fatherhood.

MORE fresh oxygen and visible faces.

But no, the priority is forcing boys and girls to become literally sexless androgynes… without them slitting either their wrists, or the staff who did that to them.

These people are in FULL rebellion against God. They are determined to rewire humanity so we’re no longer “male and female”.

3. Staff shortages and turnover

Like other schools around the nation, the school I studied was persistently short of teachers because of staff who quit due to stress or who were fired for unprofessional behavior. It was often difficult to find qualified teachers to fill open positions.

During the pandemic, one-quarter of teachers reported that they were likely to leave the profession. In early 2022, the share of teachers who reported being “very satisfied” with their jobs dropped to an all-time low at 12%.

Quit already. Do it. I dare you. You’ll even like it. Welfare checks would be cheaper than a school district. But no, wymyn would rather be miserable and overpaid than happy in a husband’s home.

4. Threat of closure

Do you think students are scared that 12-month summer vacations might happen? Me neither.

At the school I studied, the principal described extensive time and effort that she and others spent to encourage students to enroll there. “It is disheartening,” the principal said, that sometimes parents chose other schools due to a negative reputation that became associated with a school serving the area’s poorest Black and Latino communities.

5. Threats from the community

There are also violent threats at schools unrelated to mass shootings. During my study, teachers and principals reported distressing incidents of threats from members of the community, including verbal threats from parents and neighbors and an incident of the principal being held at knifepoint.

Simple question, Mizz Stumped: are you there to serve the people or not?

Not.

And the proof of it, is they treat you like this.

In how many different languages and gestures must you be told, YOU ARE NOT WANTED before you listen and leave their kids alone?

From March 2020 to June 2021, one-third of teachers reported at least one incident of verbal or threatening violence from students, and over 40% of school administrators have reported verbal or threatening violence from parents.

Reports of violent conflicts over masking at school board meetings, parents ripping masks off teachers’ faces and physical fights between parents and teachers have emerged alongside reports of intensified hostility from resurgent culture wars, including death threats against school board members and their families.

Normal people who threaten violence, usually do so because they have no other recourse. You administrators force school attendance, force activist curriculum, force unprecedented ‘medical’ not-laws, openly defy parents’ wishes and publicly experiment on children… sexual experimentation, specifically… and you’re shocked that parents are becoming violent? You think they don’t have good reason to be violent after what you’ve done to their kids?

K-12 educators and students are facing many simultaneous threats in addition to school shootings. This raises important questions about whether schools have the resources and support they need to ensure that students and educators can thrive.

“School shootings are a problem, yes, but if trends continue then my funding won’t be renewed!”

Which is it? Are the teachers & staff miserable to do they want to keep it going?

It was a difficult thesis for Zumpe: claiming that kids are better off in school where they’re most likely end up soulless, gender-confused killers without mentioning her real motivation of ensuring enough administrative sinecures remain for her to enjoy a career handjobbing the devil. News flash: it ain’t gonna happen.

The crazy train has no brakes, but that won’t stop the wheels from coming off.

 

The rideshare scooter craze is a scam, but not against consumers. It’s a  scam against globalist investors. Despite the impossibility of its concept working, they’re so invested in the concept of people renting mobility that they can’t help themselves throwing bad money after good, wondering what the magic marketing bullet will turn out to be.

Why do I say impossible? Because their business model competes against WALKING. In urban environments, the only conceivable context for short-range electric vehicles, speed is capped at 10-15 miles per hour if traffic doesn’t make it moot. Which means the typical rider is either using the scooter for 30 minutes or more at a time, in which case it’d be more economical for him to own his own ride, or walking would be just as fast.

(In practice, median ride time is typically around 18min per a Louisville, KY study.)

And no, the typically low-grade scooters we’re talking about here aren’t going to carry either cargo or a fat ass. Let alone up a hill.

I fisk an analysis and then proceed to Usain’s by-way-of-example.

Electric Scooters: The Unit Economics May Spell Trouble

h ttps://ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/electric-scooters/

February 19, 2019

ARK’s research suggests that dockless electric scooter companies are not profitable today, primarily because of short-term growing pains that should ameliorate over time.

Charging $1 to unlock scooters and then $0.15 per minute to ride, companies like Bird are generating a healthy $2.43 in revenue per mile, but their costs are roughly $2.55 per mile, well above the $0.53 that we believe will be possible as they scale, as shown below. Lower costs, in turn, could translate either into lower prices for the rider or better margins for the electric scooter companies, perhaps both, sustaining growth and the business model.

Will electric scooter companies actually cut costs while venture capitalists and companies like Uber are subsidizing public joyrides? They will have many ways to contain unit costs, among them: the cost of the scooter hardware, the cost of charging/relocating them, maintenance costs, and credit card fees, as well as higher utilization rates and longer lifespans. The survivors and ultimate winners will cut these costs aggressively, as shown below.

The Information reports that Bird pays roughly $550 per scooter, a surprisingly high price given its scale. Amazon sells the same scooter, sans Bird’s branding and hardware, for $500 to the average Joe. ARK anticipates that over time electric scooter companies will be able to source or manufacture their own scooters for $250, saving $0.34 per mile, as shown above.

Clue One that it’s a scam: no economy of scale. When bulk purchases cost more than retail, that’s evidence of embezzlement.

Not that unit costs are trending downward. Artificially inflated demand for lithium batteries guarantees that, among other issues.

Charging/relocation costs offer even more potential for cost savings. Thanks to the small size of its battery and low electricity prices, the cost to charge a scooter is well below $0.10. Consequently, the “charging” fee effectively is a “relocation” fee, which should drop precipitously once the scooter companies stop their land grabs, consolidate, and scale. Uber drivers looking for a fare, for example, could supplement their income with relocation fees, saving scooter companies up to $1.03 per mile, as shown above.

Unlikely, since most Uber drivers don’t drive trucks.

Segue

Make Money Charging Spin Scooters

h ttps://gigworker.com/spin-scooters/

Spin doesn’t typically allow normal users to earn by charging. Instead, they hire hourly employees in a city to go out, collect scooters, and charge them overnight. In the morning, you’ll take them back out and drop them off around the city. Spin offers its employees reimbursements for mileage, electricity, and cell phone usage.

The pay is hourly, and they cap the amount of shifts you can work in a week, as well as the length of shift.

Because they don’t want you to ever count as a full-timer. Or pay overtime. California legislating against the gig economy was a good idea, the worker exploitation is severe, but of course they used it as an opportunity to coerce union membership and Obamacare signups instead. Worker exploitation continues, but now for government benefit.

Requirements include having a clean driving record and the ability to drive a larger vehicle like a truck, SUV, or van that can carry at least 20 scooters safely.

(You can use your own car if you have that type of vehicle, but for the right candidate, they can also supply a vehicle.)

You also need to be able to lift 40 pounds, and you should have the ability in your home or garage to charge at least 40 scooters every night.

The fire marshal might want a word about using household-scale electrical systems for commercial-scale applications.

They also like tech-savvy people who will know how to use the GPS locator on the app to find scooters every night.

Sound like something you could get into?

Well, no. Driving around town using GPS to locate and retrieve discarded scooters in my personal truck capable of hauling dozens of scooters, to my home for charging dozens of scooters, then re-distributing them before dawn for the morning commute… why not run my own scooter company? Especially if I can undercut the competition by paying retail prices for equipment.

Also, this is Clue Two for a scam. The guys running the show, they outsource everything and don’t lift a finger. They have time only for the financials. Legit companies, the boss/owner knows the work even if he’s no longer in field ops… and the payroll guy works for him, not the other way around.

End segue

Moreover, as scooters move from consumer to commercial quality, maintenance costs should decline, saving roughly $0.19 per mile, while payment aggregation and batching should lower transaction fees for another $0.22 per mile in savings, as shown above.

Increases in quality reducing costs? When your business model is leaving equipment lying around unattended, increases in quality increase the odds of the equipment being stolen or scrapped. The needle being threaded here is enough performance to be valuable, but not enough performance to be illegal, while being cheap enough to either discourage theft or absorb losses.

Longer lifespans and higher utilization round out the sources, with utilization perhaps throwing entrepreneurial expectations for a loop. While headlines feature scooters dumped into lakes or strewn on sidewalks, the cost savings associated with extending the life of a scooter from the current four months to a year yields only $0.24 per mile in savings.

The Louisville study I read claimed one month median, with <5% of scooters remaining functional beyond 60 days. Come on, you’re leaving electrical equipment in the rain and dirt… and those are inflatable tires. Inner city has lots of puncture opportunities.

As for utilization, scooters average roughly five rides per day today which, in theory, could increase substantially, impacting the unit economics favorably. Scooter companies are flooding cities with scooters, perhaps with the assumption that their ubiquity will increase utilization.

Clue Three: the need to manufacture demand.

Citi Bike data, however, does not support that assumption. As scooters invade more public spaces, pedestrians, retail store owners, and others are pushing them out of the way, if not dumping them.

Clue Four: Tragedy of the Commons. When your business model is exploiting public resources.

Although our research suggests that its unit economics could improve markedly, scooter sharing could flail until the excesses in the market dissipate. Perhaps flooding the streets with scooters is a good short-term strategy to increase revenues and attract funding, but it is a poor strategy for the longer term.

And on that note, our feature presentation.

Bolt Mobility has vanished, leaving e-bikes, unanswered calls behind in several US cities

Bolt Mobility, the Miami-based micromobility startup co-founded by Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, appears to have vanished without a trace from several of its U.S. markets.

Also co-founded by Ignacio Tzoumas.

Tzoumas is Chief Executive Officer for Bolt Mobility Corp., Chief Financial Officer of Fortelus Capital Management LLP, Chief Financial Officer of DPCM Capital, Inc., Chief Financial Officer at Pishevar Family Office LLC and Vice President-Finance for Stara Space.”

Ignacio Tzoumas previously occupied the position of Founding Partner-Quantitative Trading Group at Triton Global Sources, Inc.

A Wall Street wunderkind and the world’s fastest runner teamed up over a shared interest in microtransportation? Or did Ignacio run a scam and rent Usain’s name for the marketing copy?

End segue

In some cases, the departure has been abrupt, leaving cities with abandoned equipment, unanswered calls and emails, and lots of questions.

Clue Five, albeit too late: the sudden flight beyond extradition.

Bolt has stopped operating in at least eight U.S. cities, including Portland, Oregon, Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski in Vermont, Richmond, California and Richmond, Virginia, and St. Augustine, Florida according to city officials. Some city representatives also said they were unable to reach anyone at Bolt, including its CEO Ignacio Tzoumas.

It’s just a vacation. The Maldives are very nice this time of year.

TechCrunch has made multiple attempts to reach Bolt and those who have backed the company. Emails to Bolt’s communications department, several employees and investors went unanswered. Even the customer service line doesn’t appear to be staffed.

Bolt halted its service in Portland on July 1. Because of the company’s failure to provide the city with updated insurance and pay some outstanding fees, Portland subsequently suspended Bolt’s permit to operate there, according to a city spokesperson.

Bolt Mobility (not to be confused with the European transportation super app also named Bolt) was on what appeared to be a growth streak about 18 months ago. The company acquired in January 2021 the assets of Last Mile Holdings, which owned micromobility companies Gotcha and OjO Electric. The purchaser opened up 48 new markets to Bolt Mobility, most of which were smaller cities such as Raleigh, North Carolina, St. Augustine, Florida and Mobile, Alabama.

After purchasing Last Mile’s assets, Bolt agreed to continue as the bike-share vendor in Chittenden County, Vermont, including cities Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski.

That license was even renewed in 2022, said Bryan Davis, senior transportation planner of the county.

A typical story going back to the 1980s. Bankster gulls some investors, makes some quick acquisitions to give the illusion of a successful business, then bails with a golden parachute.

“We learned a couple of weeks ago (from them) that Bolt is ceasing operations,” Davis told TechCrunch via email, noting that Bolt ceased operations July 1, but actually informed the county a week later. “They’ve vanished, leaving equipment behind and emails and calls unanswered. We’re unable to reach anyone, but it seems they’ve closed shop in other markets as well.”

This is going to be a big-time scam, one that will likely end the cooperation of local governments with rideshare scootering. Over fifty governments are being left with nonfunctional scooters in various states of disrepair.

Sandy Thibault, executive director of Chittenden Area Transportation Management Association, told the Burlington Free Press that Bolt communicated that employees were being let go and the company’s board of directors was discussing next steps.

You know it’s the 21st century when the boss you’ve never met, at the company without a physical existence, “fires” you simply by going silent.

And honestly, you knew it would happen that way. When management treats you like a nameless fungible commodity… when the least important people are managing ALL day-to-day operations… yeeeah.

A spokesperson at Burlington relayed similar information.

“All of our contacts at Bolt, including their CEO, have gone radio silent and have not replied to our emails,” Robert Goulding, public information manager at Burlington’s Department of Public Works, told TechCrunch.

Davis went on to say that about 100 bikes have been left on the ground completely inoperable and with dead batteries. Chittenden County has given Bolt a time frame in which to claim or remove the company’s vehicles, otherwise the county will take ownership of them.

It’ll be an abatement nightmare. Disposal of large lithium batteries isn’t trivial.

But I have no sympathy for these governments. They saw tax and license revenue so turned a blind eye to everything from toxic littering to unsafe loads on the power grid.

“Can we dump our short-lived products on your city’s streets, walk away and cash the checks until the investor funds dry up?”

“…What’s my cut?”

Bolt also appears to have stopped operating in Richmond, California, according to Richmond Mayor Tom Butt’s e-forum.

“Unfortunately, Bolt apparently went out of business without prior notification or removal of their capital equipment from city property,” wrote Butt. “They recently missed the city’s monthly meeting check-in and have been unresponsive to all their clients throughout all their markets.”

The other reason to “co-found” your scam company with a celebrity, is because everybody will think about Usain but not Ignacio.

Butt went on to say that the city is coming up with a plan to remove all the abandoned equipment — about 250 e-bikes that were available at hub locations like BART stations and the ferry terminal — and asked people to refrain from vandalizing the bikes until the city could come up with a solution.

Service has also ended in Richmond, Virginia. The city confirmed that Bolt Mobility’s permit with the City of Richmond ends today, August 1, 2022.

…TechCrunch has reached out to several other cities in which Bolt operates and has not been able to confirm that the company has stopped operating entirely. A spokesperson from St. Augustine originally told TechCrunch Bolt’s bike share was running as usual there, but after looking into the matter further, has since confirmed the service is suspended.

Bolt’s social media has also been rather inactive in recent weeks. The company hasn’t posted on Instagram since June 11 or on Twitter since June 2.

It just keeps going. The article ends with the killshot:

Bolt has publicly raised $40.2 million, an amount that doesn’t include an undisclosed investment from India’s Ram Charan Company in May. Investors there could not be reached for comment.

I also have no sympathy for foreign investors meddling in markets that mean nothing to them but a return on investment. They say you can’t con an honest man… lookit all those conned people who trusted a bankster.

And they’ll keep trusting banksters because it’s probably not even their money. Socialized risk, privatized profit. Nobody loses except the little people who don’t even have names. They just run the company. Nothing important.

The only question is Usain Bolt. We can only guess at this point, how much of the creditor bag he’ll be left holding.

The White Replacement continues… not only our bodies, but our sciences. And not coincidentally, Christ Jesus Our Savior.

A new law is putting astronomy back in the hands of Native Hawaiians

h ttps://www.popsci.com/science/hawaii-policy-transfers-astronomy-control/

By Tatyana Woodall, 27 July 2022

Earlier this month, Hawaiian Governor David Ige signed legislation that transfers control of Mauna Kea—one of two large mountains that dominate the Hawaiian landscape and where some of the world’s most powerful observatories call home—away from the University of Hawai’i and back to Native Hawaiians.

Remember, ye new owners of this valuable property, ten percent to the Big Guy.

The new law declares astronomy as a state policy of Hawaii, which means that in addition to the scientific knowledge it brings, the state sees the field as an important contributor to jobs and the economy.

So then, how many natives does it take to change a light bulb? Or rotate a telescope? We got budgets to write.

It also establishes the Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, an 11-member voting group that will now have majority authority over how the land is managed. According to the bill, the group’s responsibilities will also include building a new framework for the development of astronomy research on the islands, limiting commercial use and activities on Mauna Kea’s land, and requiring the “timely decommissioning” of certain telescopes.

It would be faster to just confiscate the land on behalf of the ungrateful squatters who will probably sell the equipment for scrap then whore themselves to globalists looking for new real estate “investments”.

The governor is expected to select members of the new authority soon: The deadline for the public to submit their names into the application pool for a seat is July 28, but the law includes that the group must include one member who is a “lineal descendant” of a practitioner of Native Hawaiian traditions associated with the mountain, and another who is currently a recognized practitioner of those Native Hawaiian traditional practices. That stipulation is especially important as it’s the first time community experts and practitioners will be able to make those kinds of decisions for their community.

While the University of Hawai’i has until 2028 to officially hand off its management duties to the group, locals like native activist Noe Noe Wong-Wilson are optimistic about the change. She and others note that it feels like policy makers are finally listening to Native Hawaiians’ voices regarding the stewardship and care of their own community.

Translation, No-Wilson-No is first in line for a sinecure even fatter than her. She already helped write the law:

“This is the first time with the new authority that cultural practitioners and community members will actually have seats in the governing organization,” says Wong-Wilson, who is the executive director of the Lālākea Foundation, a nonprofit Native Hawaiian cultural organization. Wong-Wilson, who is a member of the working group that helped develop the bill proposal, says that the choice to bring in people and ideas from all over the community is what helped make the new law a reality.

And does “traditional cultural practitioner” mean what I think it means?

Sacred chants recited by elders, like Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner Noe Noe Wong-Wilson, reflect indigenous beliefs and worldviews that go back a millennium.

Yes, it does! The government just favored an establishment of religion. Separation of church and state, hello?

Bueller?

“In our culture, the elements have names and we consider them gods and goddesses, like the rain, wind and snow,” she told ABC affiliate KITV-4’s Lei U’i Kaholokula in the “Soul of the Nation” special “Together As One.”

“Maunakea is one of our most precious and special places, and it cannot be duplicated,” she explained.

Over the past several decades, Maunakea, a dormant volcano on the Island of Hawai’i, has been at the center of a simmering battle between Native Hawaiian activists like Wong-Wilson, who want the mountain protected for spiritual, cultural and ecological reasons, and research universities who see it as a scientifically optimal place to build world-class telescopes.

She’s a witch. You can keep your culture but it’s sad to still be worshiping a lie. The best compliment I ever heard directed at Christianity by an atheist, was a complaint about how completely we erased many of the pagan religions.

When groundbreaking began in 2014 for a fourteenth telescope, known as the Thirty Meter Telescope, Native demonstrators blocked the roads in a series of protests that happened intermittently for five years. During an explosive and emotional protest in 2019, Wong-Wilson was one of 38 native elders who were arrested.

A witch AND criminal! Just a misdemeanor, 30 days/$1k fine, but she refused a plea bargain. If only Christians would uphold the True God as defiantly as Nope-Nope insists upon howling at the moon. We Californians know all about these “indigenous natives protecting their ancestral culture”. Take one guess, just one, what happened the week after Sacramento legalized Indian gambling.

While the controversy over Maunakea represents a textbook case of an indigenous community resisting development on sacred land, it has evolved over the past year into a story about the importance of open communication and inclusion.

End segue

She adds that the law’s mutual stewardship model takes into account all human activities on the mountain, and is designed to help “protect Mauna Kea for future generations,” as Native Hawaiians believe the mountain is a sacred place—a part of their spirituality as well as their culture. But years of mismanagement has created a mistrust in the state’s stakeholders, which included the University and Hawaiian government officials, and deepened a rift between Indigenous culture and western science.

That’s not just a rift. That’s opposing religions. Christianity is getting thrown out the window in order to accommodate known-false religions of Earth worship. Known to be false thanks to… uh-oh… those telescopes her “working group” is soon to be in charge of.

Mauna Kea has been a hot spot for astronomical research since the first large telescopes broke ground on the summit in the early 1970s. The height of the mountain, the torrid atmosphere, and the natural lack of light pollution make the dormant volcano an exquisite location for observing the sky. But Native Hawaiians say that placing too many facilities on the land, including large observatories, draws in activity that puts an immense strain on the environment and its fragile ecosystem. “In Hawaii, there’s always tension about tourism, and overuse of some of our environmentally sensitive spaces for recreational use,” Wong-Wilson says.

Telescopes don’t like to be around crowded, lighted areas and they certainly aren’t used recreationally. This strikes me as a false concern.

In the current land use agreements made by the University, all of the mountain’s telescopes are committed to cease operations and come down by 2033. The TMT could still continue construction until then, but as of now, the new bill includes a moratorium on any new leases or lease extensions. It’s unclear whether that could stymie the TMT’s future science goals

Denial is ugly.

or if the new authority will choose to issue new leases, but Robert Kirshner, executive director for the TMT International Observatory (TIO), says the team behind the observatory supports the new bill.

That is surprising. Continuing construction on something expensive and doomed to confiscation by an activist druid, is an obvious waste of money.

Kirshner is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which is listed with the WEF. Gordon is the coiner of Moore’s Law, for you techie readers.

“TIO welcomes this community-based stewardship model for Maunakea’s management,” wrote Kirshner in an email to Popular Science. “We value the respect, responsibility, caring, and inclusivity that this act is intended to foster.” He added that the observatory will work with the new authority to support astronomy and education programs that are in harmony with the culture and environment on the mountain.

Ohhh, right. Original sin. If Mommy Witch wants to worship Ra and Luna, then the men in lab coats will rename the Sun and Moon. Whatever the “goddesses” demand!

Original sin, and WEF paymasters.
