A Guy walks Onto a website

And Gets Smacked in the Face with a Pie.
Alternatively titled; You people have a memory that’s shorter than my Dick.
And I’m White Irish.

Are you Sure you want to peek below the fold? After what I’ve Already shown you? All RIGHTY Then!

Coarse thought begets coarse language. And me thoughts be bloody.

First off; Fucking KUDOS for the Spectacular rant UR! Holy Shit was that a Wild ride down the hill! Absolutely one of THE Best I’ve read in quite a while!
Well Done, Sirra! Well Done indeed. Tips hat
No snark, that’s ahead still.

Second; Granma seems like an empathetic adult and my reply to her treated her as such: with respect and forthrightness. Why I’m being castigated by a hall monitor as unfair in said reply has me confused, but that’s a normal state of mind for me so no worries.

Third; I thought personal attacks, ad hominem that they be, were verboten on this site?
Did the hall monitor miss that one?

Fourth; to those that stepped in in my defense during my absence, thank you but no. I wish no cliques to form, lines to be drawn, sides to be taken on this site.
If that occurs we may as well splash orange paint over the fooking joint and have done with. I would cry IRL if that were to happen.

Now to some meat.

Any of you get digitally raped by the neighborhood bully at twelve?
Any of you get forced to give a blowjob to your older brother at about the same age?
Any of you have to pick up blasted body parts from Flutag ‘88 at Ramstein AB?
Any of you lose your first child, let alone your second?

Do I qualify for your Victim Special Olympics yet?

If so, Fuck You.
And Stuff your fucking Medals.

I tell you these things because the Last time I tried to keep it light on the blog an individual dropped a load of stinking personal Shit that somehow I was made to feel responsible for and Others backed them up to the point where I got pm’d.

I’d like to avoid that(it’s inevitable), but people be people, they gonna hold grudges.

Now to the alternate title.

Iraq weapons of mass distraction. Oh! My bad! I meant destruction.
Four YEARS of Russiarussiarussiarussiarussiarussia. . . you get the point.
Twenty years of War Propaganda in this century alone and we’re only twenty years in!
Before that it was communists(Russian And Chinese). Before that it was Vietnam, Korea, the Bomb(hide under your desks so it’s easier to bury you when the world blows up).
And that barely scratches the surface.

So yeah, I have an extremely skeptic view of what I read Anywhere. Including right here in this blog. You want to blame me for for it?
Be my guest.
As to the fbi, the cia, the mic.
Cointelpro, coups to numerous to count and Operation NorthWoods.
Yet people want to Believe in something now that Orange Man Bad be (almost) gone it Appears that they’re willing to believe in Anything(did I mention I’m skeptical).
The NYT article that was referenced in another essay which evinced comments that Then led to This essay was a puff piece, a human Interest story, meant to show the Chaos that doctors all over the world are having to deal with. An in depth, in the trenches view of heroic medical personnel doing their utmost Against All Odds.
Have you asked yourself Why such chaos? Why such insurmountable odds?
Snoopydawg(h/t) hit it out of the park with they’re essay. It’s worth the read, but the gist is no support.
Not from gov’t(Fuck YOU Cuomo!)
Not from business(sell those masks to the ChiComs at a thousand percent markup! Fuck those poverty stricken USians, they ain’t got no dough, let ‘em suck hind teat(correct spelling, for those keeping score at home) on that one!
Not from the people(that’s My fucking toilet paper asshole(oh, the stupid, it burns irony).
I know, I know, but(t) Ugly, I was moooved by the heroisism(spellcheck let it go) on display.
EXACTLY! Display. That’s what that is.
So the slimes(and others) are letting you see for Free. It’s easier to propagandize folks if they don’t have to pay for it And Are Wiiling!
Apparently people are. Willing, that is.

Now, I’m Not an anti-vaxxer.
Yes, Covid is Real and devastating. I’ve lost friends And family members to it and I expect to lose more. Maybe even my own life if this shit keeps up. What to do?
LAUGH MotherFuckers! Or what’s the point?
Prevention as best I can(h/t lo for the nutritional wisdom via diet).
I Do wear a mask inside anyplace but the house.
I Do tell people to Back the FUCK Off of me relentlessly.
I avoid crowds(makes fuckChristmas shopping a nightmare, that).
Oh! The only vaccine I’m willing to bet My life on comes from Cuba, for the obvious reasons.
Most vaccines take an average of ten years to come to market and some people wish to rush and get one after just ten Months? Again, be my guest, have at it, knock yourself out(insert whatever encouragement needed here).
Not me.

If any of you(besides those referenced above) wish to take offense, please, let me assuage your ego and openly admit here and now that, yes, I wrote this JUST for You.
Fucking narcissists.

For any who have made it this far and I Haven’t offended you yet, well,

Fuck You, Too!

That is All.

Edited to correct spelling(h/t otc)

Everyone needs to rant on occasion. There was some talk recently about Jimmy Dore's rants being over the top. I always liked this classic rant...seems appropriate in these times -

So yeah, I have an extremely skeptic view of what I read Anywhere. Including right here in this blog.

After decades of being buried under propaganda from too many sources anyone who isn't skeptic of what they're being told deserves to be mislead. 4 years of pure Grade A Russian propaganda that it seems half of the country believes shows how susceptible people are to it. I question what I read daily. I think I am free and clear of being influenced by it, but of course I am no.

Most vaccines take an average of ten years to come to market and some people wish to rush and get one after just ten Months?

Ditto again. This vaccine has been rushed. But so have other country's vaccines so who knows? I do know that it doesn't take months for one to be thoroughly tested and brought to market. Especially when Trump threatened the FDA director that if he didn't authorize it yesterday he'd be out of a job. Sure. That instills high confidence. There have been no studies for long term effects and it didn't study all groups. Does it protect you from spreading it to others? They don't know. How long does it last? Who knows? Side effects seriousness? Well we have heard stories haven't we?

Clinical trials of Pfizer’s drug, created in partnership with the German company BioNTech, were overwhelmingly positive. The vaccine, which is given in two shots a couple weeks apart, was shown to offer 95% efficacy with side effects including sore arms, fatigue, headaches and fever.

Bottom line I don't trust the government. If they are serious about us getting the vaccine so that we can get a handle on it Cuomo and other guvs wouldn't be telling people that they must return to work. Biggest issue though is that 40 million people being evicted during a pandemic is the opposite of what should be done. And yet there have been 10's of 1,000's of people already being evicted which caused over 100,000 more cases and 11,000 additional deaths. They don't want to get a handle on this. IMHO. They are working for herd immunity and wiping out the lowest class of workers because with automation there are not going to be enough jobs. Not the only reason, but a glaring one. This is why the immunity deal is going to pass. Dems have already agreed to put a hold on any lawsuits for 6 months and will give organizations that get sued money to fight them. Great. Now who is on the side of the workers? Not OSHA who had abdicated its duty to corporations. It is rarely looking into people's concerns about not being protected. Tuff cookies they tell us.

If you trust the government do you trust Bill Gates? I don't. I have read what has happened with his vaccines in 3rd world countries. But what does he have to do with this? BioNTech is a new company 2009 and after it formed Gates bought it out. Yes I know. I read this earlier this week and I am still looking for the link. Will provide it if I do.

Fuck You

Backatcha.

P.s. I don't think Trump was trying a coup. He worked within the law/courts and has accepted their ruling. Maybe Al Gore should have fought as hard and things might have been different. After democrats showed the world that they had no qualms rigging the primaries why would anyone think that our elections are run fairly? For decades we have heard about the problems with the software and yet each election we are hit with more. Plus there's the length parties go to keep people from voting. Gerrymandering/vote ID laws/throwing thousands of the voting rolls that rig the election to the other candidate. It's a farce in my opinion because of that and the fact that elections don't really have change baked in. Look at how far the working class has fallen since Reagan/Clinton's DLC/Obama and the retreads coming back with Biden. "NO ONE WANTS A HANDOUT" - Biden. Welp except for the banks and corporations that only need to ask.

whatever you believe is true, is true for you. Belief is not the same as fact, it is a subconscious subject of choice, of attitude that was formulated in your early years of conditioning.
Many of your beliefs are non-serving. Most are not supporting you in alignment with your vision for your life.
Your beliefs are malleable, changeable according to what is stored in your programming. Clean out your belief systems that no longer serve you. Change your programming, you can change your life.
Rant on - help people make necessary changes and live better!

I can understand from your clarification how you could have found my response to you confusing. In retrospect I wish I had just said that ‘yes mum’ sounded a little patronising to me, and left it at that, or not said anything. I overreacted to my own sometimes over-sensitive experience of 'fairness'. You can now send me out to the hall wearing a dunce cap. Cheers.

During a very stressful time. How we respond to that stress is different for everyone. Some people handle it better than others. Some people don’t. Here’s the good news. We can choose which people we want to spend time with during a very stressful time and which people we don’t. It’s called free will and requires no bile and no raining expletives. Just character and wisdom.

and have never, ever been remotely good at reading things into shit having some sort of double strength literalist gene. So Johnny has addrressed the bombast and terror, or so it would seem, so I'll just say a couple of things. One - vaccines and the NYT non-information soap opera scriot have been mentioned, so here's something else to throw in the pot.

1) Don't know the company or the article, but We've had the vaccine since alomst before the virus, and it's not the Pfizer one, and this may be the new(ish) normal as opposed to the 10 year thing. Some US firm was still futzing around with the Previous Covid (was that SARS?). They were trying to develop a respiratory virus vaccine toolkit, which they had well along working along the lines of the process that is used to develop the "guess at this year's flu strain" flu shots. As soon as they saw the DNA read-out for Covid-19 they cranked out a vaccine for it and began getting their act together for testing, and then ran the safety and efficacy tests simultaneously. It still hasn't hit the market or been approved, but it is out there, and as noted, could be the new norm for a certain class of viruses. Of course, there's no way to really know if any of that is true, so, as always, roll the dice; "hey, bixby, flip a coin, willya"

Annd, thank's to the magic of multitasking, here's the article: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-design....
