Modus Operandi of Oppressing the “Savages”: The Kenyan British Colonial Experience

This is an interesting modern document deconstructing why the rich white people still own all the valuable land in the supposedly independent Kenya of today and it also gives some insight into the MOD for racism in the US which was very much influenced by British colonialism around the world.

Basically, its a way of paying off the in group with the rights of the out group and making sure they stay poor for generations.

Rats in a Cage?

Chris looks at the state of our society as an experiment on rats. I found it insightful.

29 minutes

We are all rats in a cage who are being shocked. A very well-studied form of psychological warfare is being waged against us, and it's designed to encourage us to overlook where the shocks are originating and fight amongst each other.

Open Threat

Why is nobody talking about the upcoming war?

If you continue to avoid that subject, I quit.

Oh, that's why:
Pentagon orders departure of U.S. troops in Ukraine as Russia crisis escalates

I guess that means no war, right?

Please educate me uneducated reader. Waiting for lookour's Weekly Watch to understand what is going on.

Good night. Stay sheltered, fed and warm, all

The Dose - 2-12-2022

TheDose.jpg

Fast 5 months since the first diary of The Dose was published by JtC. The request was made to the weekly Open Threaders to post one for COVID discussions in addition to our regular regular diary.

For the most part I had been able to ignore the COVID issues, others covered the subject adequately. My personal plan was developed in April 2020 with the intent to follow for about 2 years then reevaluate based on contemporary pandemic info. Per info supplied by C99 participants added povoiodine gargle and nasal spray after being in high risk locations and have built a robust portable air filter system to move into a building or room when visitors can not stay outside. The N95 mask used on town trips since February 2020 has been reclassified by the CDC as a respirator. Fits the current theme masks do not provide adequate protection, so why bother.
