Have Fun Making Your Elders Miserable

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, and please remember: today we celebrate genocide, white privilege, colonialism, and the cruel consumption of meat.

This is the day when families all across America will get together to eat canned cranberry sauce and curse at relatives who voted for Donald Trump. It used to be about loving each other and thanking God, but we have evolved.

Today I glanced at the news and saw that leftist media outlets were including helpful edwokational mini-lectures with their Thanksgiving articles and recipes. Nothing makes yams taste better than feeling you are personally responsible for the deaths of countless little brown people.

What is there left that leftism can’t ruin? It even ruins leftism. They take over countries and turn them into elite-ruled concentration camps where everyone is afraid of each other.

I saw so much startling news today, I felt bad for saying there wasn’t much yesterday.

Let’s see. The article about how Thanksgiving is a celebration of hate came first. I also saw that a Catholic university let a campus organization put up a painting of an African Mary cuddling a George Floyd Jesus. That was simultaneously disconcerting and entertaining. I had no idea George Floyd had done so much for humanity.

I saw an article about a school system that insists on putting books that are essentially gay and pedophile porn on its shelves. Did I wake up in a movie? Can this be real? Or was I wrong to think it was possible to educate children without providing them with erotic homosexual fiction?

Another article says the mass killer Darrell Brooks, who murdered 6 people and injured dozens in a few seconds, was granted bail. Bail! A man who calls himself a terrorist, who is unquestionably guilty, and who has tremendous incentive to flee!

He’s already a proven bail-jumper. Hello?

“It’s just like Kyle Rittenhouse.” No, not even close. One of the considerations a judge makes when granting bail is the likelihood of conviction. The evidence in the Rittenhouse case supported acquittal, not conviction, even at the start. Brooks is just plain guilty. Even major leftist news outlets are omitting “alleged” from their stories. This guy is never going to sue anyone for defamation. Not even Gloria Allred would go there.

His bail is set at $5 million, which is actually attainable in the era of crowdfunding. The only question is whether other racists and terrorists will be generous enough to help. Someone had the gall to put up a Gofundme page asking for bail money. Even leftist-controlled Gofundme wasn’t having that.

Another great story: the Levis company, a leftist organization that makes expensive low-quality jeans that fall apart in a hurry, whose management discourages people from washing their smelly worn clothing, has provided facilities to help employees who have been “traumatized” by the Rittenhouse verdict.

They’re afraid their snowflaky minions are so allergic to truth that they require psychological treatment in order to heal scars caused by the acquittal of a man who was always clearly innocent. Imagine what would happen to one of these sissies if something that was actually bad happened to him.

We also have a new strain of covid. Huzzah! Somehow, it has appeared in two places that are very far apart: South Africa and Hong Kong. Scientists are afraid it will spread fast and overcome vaccines. They speculate that it developed in a person with HIV; apparently, such people get chronic covid, and that somehow increases the likelihood of mutation.

Coronavirus and HIV live together in perfect harmony…it’s like the old song. It’s a synergy we did not need.

South Africa is a gay-friendly oasis for coronavirus. “For,” not “from.” South Africa is surrounded by Christian nations where covid is basically gone. Coronavirus is treated badly in places like Zambia and Tanzania, but South Africa gives it a warm refuge.

It would really be something if it turned out sodomy was somehow turning out to make the pandemic worse. Like we needed more evidence that covid is a supernatural plague.

I wouldn’t worry. If it turns out to be true, any scientist who suggests it will be burned at the stake before the information has any impact. I doubt we have to be concerned about troubling stories. We’ll probably go on in blissful ignorance, wondering how such an awful disease happened to our wonderful, innocent race.

These days, all science news has to pass through a filter. Every mainstream disseminator has to ask, “Would Karl Marx kill this story?”

One more story comes to mind, but I read it last night, not today. A gang of black kids on dirt bikes attacked an old man in Boston, ruined his car, and beat him until he had to be hospitalized.

This story was disappointing for several reasons. First, it was probably “revenge” for a just acquittal. Second, it showed that mob crime is gaining traction. Third, it was remarkable in that it covered a long-existing phenomenon the MSM will not discuss.

Black males on illegal dirt bikes have been wreaking havoc in cities for years. You probably didn’t know that, because it’s something Karl Marx wouldn’t want printed.

As readers know, I mentored Travis Quinn, a young black man who was attending the University of Miami. He told me things most white people don’t get to hear. He said Martin Luther King Day was extremely dangerous. People waited for MLK Day to settle grudges and even kill others; they knew law enforcement was always lax on that day. He said his father used to stay home and arm himself on MLK Day. He said gangs of black males on dirt bikes celebrated by zipping around ghetto neighborhoods committing crimes.

This was a black man telling me this. A Kaepernick fan. I didn’t hear it from Dan Bongino or Sean Hannity.

A dirt bike is very empowering for a criminal. Dirt bikes don’t have license plates and they are extremely mobile. A gang of men on dirt bikes can’t be chased or identified. Dirt bikes are also much cheaper than street bikes.

It may be that dirt bike criminals are figuring out they don’t have to confine their activities to ghettos. That will be bad for the rest of us. In a world where dirt bike gangs run around lynching people, citizens will have strong motivation to keep rifles in their cars. A Glock 17 is not adequate when several dozen racist assailants surround you. We may end up with states where keeping an AK or AR on board is a popular and wise option.

We could see a lot more Rittenhouses created, or we could see a tide of dead non-black bodies, or both.

Black neighborhoods typically punish people who inform, and the police have longstanding practices of letting crimes go investigated and unpunished in these places. The authorities have been afraid of being called racist, and they probably thought black crime wasn’t a big deal unless it escaped into majority areas. Journalists suppressed the news about dirt bike gangs. Now we see what happens when we let crime fester.

God bless America. What a country.

I was praying last night, and as usual, I asked God to rapture his people quickly. This planet is outliving its usefulness. I was thinking about sudden freedom from hate, disease, and lack. I was picturing a world free of horrible suffering, which is what we have always had. I had the idea that God would be as relieved as rapturees were. Then it occurred to me that I wasn’t thinking about the tribulation.

When the rapture comes, the world’s problems won’t go away. They’ll get much, much worse. People and animals will suffer a lot more than they do now, and it will go on for years while rapturees are enjoying a party in heaven, secure in the knowledge that they will never have problems again.

I still want the rapture to come soon, but thoughts of the tribulation take some of the shine off of it.

I am still reading 1984, going through a chapter or two per night. Last night, I got a new revelation of the similarity between the outlook of characters in the book and people living in 2021.

The lovers the book is about are named Winston and Julia. They both hate the authoritarian state. They find it ridiculous. They consider its doctrines lies. They are forced to pretend they are rabid supporters of the Party, but inside their own minds, they have created refuges of sanity and rebellion. The Party can’t touch those refuges at first.

Winston and Julia know they will be caught, because the Party catches everyone who disagrees with it. They know they will be arrested, tortured, released, rearrested, forced to make false confessions, and executed. They know there is no possibility a resistance movement will change society and save them.

I realized Rhodah and I are like Winston and Julia. Things are going well for us now, but we live in a deranged world where we can’t have the kind of future we want. The American Dream is no longer possible. We may be able to have kids and live well for a while, but our family’s lives will never be normal, and America will get crazier and crazier, assuring people like us never fit in. Sooner or later, if we remain here long enough, the Thought Police of modern America will breach our refuge and “correct” us.

Perverts, POC racists, statists, and pagans will get more and more powerful, as will foreign enemies. Freedom will disappear even more completely than it already has. The Constitution, if it still exists, will mean nothing. We will be expected to become part of an electronically-curated global hive being; a disgusting, computer-tamed artificial family that shuts God out.

Winston and Julia were waiting for something. They were waiting for the Thought Police to discover them and bring about the inevitable: defeat. Rhodah and I are different. We live in victory, so we are waiting for deliverance. Both couples are subject to alienation, persecution, and rejection, but one is guaranteed an escape followed by glorious eternal life in God’s presence, while the other is guaranteed torture, humiliation, loss of self, death, and erasure from history.

Winston and Julia give me an insight into the grey, mildewed minds of people who don’t know God and fear death. Orwell’s lovers hate their lives, but they have no reason to anticipate anything better. They are cynical and carnal. They think fornication has value because it lets them rebel briefly and forget about the Party. Julia revels in her sluttiness, saying the men she has had may run to three figures. Winston fantasizes about spreading syphilis to the ruling class. That appeals to him as a legacy.

They’re like Satan himself. He knows he will spend eternity in agony, humiliated, surrounded by beings that hate him, so his only pleasure comes from fighting the system. Satan can’t build a future for himself, so he finds pleasure in destroying the futures of others.

Here in the real world, not every godless person hates life. Many get what they want here on Earth, at least for a fleeting moment. But they tend to be cynical and, in the long view, hopeless.

That’s why they love phrases like “bucket list,” “best life,” and “YOLO.”

I feel that God led me to read the book, to show me how different my experience is from that of a person who thinks the supernatural doesn’t exist. The sad thing is that those people are denying the existence of something other people know to be real. Know, not just believe.

People reject sound, credible testimony from reliable individuals because they’re in love with homosexuality, fornication, marijuana, or something else God won’t let them have, or sometimes because they’re angry at God because he let someone die or because bad things have happened to them. The truth is the truth, though. You have to acknowledge it and act on it. Not liking it won’t change it, and if you don’t accept it, there will be terrible consequences.

Rotterdam Police Shoot Protestors

The news is full of unpleasant surprises, and that’s no surprise. Business as usual in 2021.

The Dutch, of all people, had a covid riot, and the police fired actual lead bullets at participants. The “progressive” Dutch! I thought all they did was vote for socialists, frequent prostitutes, and smoke dope. American leftists love the Netherlands. How can leftists go on, now that one of their model countries is shooting protestors with lead bullets?

Wait. I forgot. Leftists are okay with GOVERNMENTS owning guns. But American leftists get upset when our police shoot criminals. By “criminals,” I don’t mean people who go to Kroger without masks or dangerous people who feel entitled to contribute their input on the courses their children are taught. I mean violent criminals like Jacob Blake, an accused rapist who was shot at the home of the woman he was accused of raping, while trying to knife a cop.

Shouldn’t they be upset when the police shoot protestors? I don’t think they are. They’re not flipping out about it on American TV.

It’s confusing. The protestors were mostly white, and they were enemies of the gospel of St. Anthony of Fauci, so they were bad, but aren’t all cops bastards? Isn’t that the scientific consensus?

I still remember when leftists hated the government and loved the USSR, and rightists took the opposing positions. Now leftists call rightists “comrade” and take up for the government all the time, except for the police and the military. Rightists aren’t particularly cozy with Russia, but we now side against the government regularly. But we love the military and the police, who…are part of the government.

Anyway, it’s weird to see the Dutch shooting protestors. Whoops. Rioters.

Covid protests are going on all over the world now, in places where you would never expect it, and if you want to find out about it, you have to mine the web. You have to search. MSM journalists are openly hiding it, if openly hiding is something that can actually be done. They’re muffling news people can easily uncover by going around them, thanks to the Tim Berners-Lee, the man who will be remembered as the destroyer of retail stores and history’s single most effective facilitator of the dissemination of pornography.

It’s remarkable when Fox, the anti-establishment channel, buries important stories about covid protests and riots. It shows how flimsy their anti-establishment facade is. Fox is run by death-fearing Northerners, for all its faux pro-red-state posing. They’ll help Republican presidents and air funny stories about people saying, “Let’s go, Brandon,” but they worship at the altar of St. Anthony. If you work for Fox in New York, you take the shots, or you get tested every single day, or you go work for an AM station in Wyoming.

The protest and riot stories are problematic for the MSM, because they shatter the myth that covid measures are well-tolerated by the public. A lot of people are showing up to protest. It’s not just a few American kooks in red hats.

These stories are important.

Civil liberties are important. Leftists and poorly educated people don’t understand this. It’s a very big deal when you tell a citizen of a republic he can’t go outside except for short periods for certain purposes. It’s incarceration. Courts call it “house arrest.” It’s what the Constitution refers to as deprivation of liberty.

In any free country, you should pay attention to citizens who are upset over being deprived of liberty. Frivolous, illegal, and unwarranted mass infringements can’t be tolerated. They lead to authoritarianism. Mass deprivations have to be examined and reexamined, continually.

Making adults take poorly-tested vaccines is a draconian measure. It’s not the same as requiring kids to take old, crusty shots that have proven safe over multiple decades.

There is now research suggesting the mRNA vaccines may reduce the body’s ability to repair severed DNA strands. We were told this was impossible last year. They said nothing would get inside our cell nuclei as a result of these shots, and now scientists at two universities have found vaccine-created spike proteins exactly where they weren’t supposed to be, inhibiting two proteins that help us fix damaged DNA.

DNA damage causes cancer and horrible hereditary diseases. Do the mRNA shots lead to DNA damage that causes catastrophic disease? We don’t know. Should we keep forcing people to take the shots while we wait for the answer?

Right now, the web is full of smug MSM and government articles saying mRNA vaccines can’t change your DNA, but they don’t have to change your DNA to cause problems, do they? If they prevent the repair of DNA damaged by other means, aren’t they accomplishing the same end? I don’t know, but you have to wonder. It looks like researchers need to look into it.

How would you like to find out you and your year-old child had a hereditary predisposition to cancer, caused by an mRNA vaccine? Events like that could lead to some interesting outcomes. You could take the shots, get covid anyway, find out you have cancer while you’re being treated, and then die from both.

Protestors aren’t whiners making a big deal out of nothing. They have to be heard.

Human beings are stupid for practical purposes, even though we don’t have to be. We are not taught to think critically. We could do better, but we prefer to be lazy and irrational. You would think our leaders would be people who were driven by logic, but they aren’t. They run on emotion and cravings for power and admiration. What do they do when they want us to take vaccine shots? Do they present solid arguments? Do they explain things patiently? For the most part, no. Generally, they rely on peer pressure, and when that fails, they use coercion.

Peer pressure and coercion are manipulation. Manipulation is what people use when they won’t or can’t rely on logic, which is truth. Manipulation is evil. No one seems to be talking about the evil of pro-vaccine manipulation. It’s evil even if the vaccines are wonderful and necessary.

The people who want us to take shots have some facts on their side, but instead of relying on facts to get cooperation, they shame us. They arrest us. They fine us. They gaslight us. They feed us misinformation they haven’t vetted. They gag us, nullifying the First Amendment, even when we tell the truth. It’s not a good system, regardless of the goals.

When I was a kid, kids were taught that peer pressure was evil. It was considered obvious. Peer pressure was the biggest factor in promoting drug use and reckless premarital sex. No cheerleader ever slipped off her prom dress and took on the basketball team because it was part of her long-term plan for success and self-improvement.

People were tired of reading that college kids on LSD had jumped out of windows because they thought they could fly. They were tired of finding out local children had drowned in vomit after using heroin. They were tired of seeing girls turn up pregnant. They were upset because their kids were contracting VD. As a result, schools started telling us peer pressure was bad, and they were right.

Now our government is the kid who wants you to smoke your first joint. “Everybody else is doing it.” “You won’t be cool if you don’t do it.” “You can’t hang out with us if you don’t do it.” “It’s actually good for you.” The government/press/entertainment combine is telling us we are malevolent, untouchable ignoramuses if we don’t shoot up.

Yesterday, I told my wife it was unnatural for a society to know less than it knew in the past. I repeat it today. We used to know things we no longer know, even though we know we knew them. That shouldn’t even be possible, except maybe in a Donald Rumsfeld meme.

I’m extremely glad my wife and I didn’t take the mRNA shots. I’m glad we found out about the new research before accepting mRNA boosters. I hope the adenovirus shots we took don’t produce similar concerns. Some think covid itself damages DNA. I hope that isn’t true, but I can’t do anything about it, so it’s a concern that won’t affect my actions.

I keep trying to figure out whether the shots do any good at all. They still tell us they reduce the risk of death very significantly, but they are also telling us 2021 has already produced more than twice as many deaths as non-vaccinated 2020. One hopes skillful interpretation of the statistics will show that the death toll rise would have been worse without vaccines, but nothing is clear right now.

Is it because 2020’s problems started relatively late in the year? Is it because people who got sick in 2020 died in 2021?

So far, the experts haven’t been able to answer simple questions; they tend to parrot guesses made by other experts, often without characterizing them as guesses. The information they give us is very unreliable, so I hold out little hope that it will firm up in the future.

If it weren’t real life, it would be funny if we got a worldwide cancer epidemic a couple of years from now. It would be like the plot of a Terry Gilliam movie. What will the zealots say if something like that happens?

Coronavirus doesn’t make sense. It refuses to yield to logical analysis because it’s a supernatural punishment. That’s why we have a doubled death rate after vaccination. It’s why our experts keep getting everything wrong. God is humiliating science.

When God sent 10 plagues to humiliate the Egyptians, he didn’t pick the plagues randomly. He chose plagues that disgraced Egypt’s false gods, like an angry mother hanging a bedwetter’s sheets out of a window. He sent darkness to shame the sun god. He turned the water into blood to shame the water god. He killed livestock because the Egyptians worshiped a cow. He exposed the magicians of Egypt, showing they were helpless before his power. It looks like he is now allowing a slippery disease that defies our medical gurus, for the purpose of humiliating their god: science.

Of course, science isn’t really their god. Real scientists are slaves to logic, not fear of death and ideology. Real scientists don’t censor reasonable people for political reasons. Modern scientists worship a warped caricature of real science.

God is showing us how weak we are and how little we know. He’s showing us what happens to his protection when we promote sin and pride and shame the obedient.

Meanwhile, the Zambian program of vaccine avoidance, social proximation, mask mandate defiance, and mass prayer to the God of Christianity, directed by the country’s president, is generating 12 reported cases per day, out of 20 million people, in a country where the delta variant has already come and gone.

Florida, with a similar population, is doing great by American standards, and we have an average of 1437 cases per day, or only 120 times the Zambian rate.

The Bible says that if God’s people will pray AND humble themselves AND turn from their sin, he will heal their land. A preacher I like pointed out that it doesn’t say “everyone.” Just God’s people. But America has had no real national day of prayer, even among Christians, and the very idea that we should humble ourselves and admit we have provoked God is anathema. Saying a thing like that can destroy your career. Correction is hate; don’t forget that.

On a related note, I am reading 1984. I saw the movie the other day. It was not easy to watch. The warnings said there was nudity in it, but I figured a very brief glimpse of John Hurt’s rear end was pretty unlikely to entice me to sin. Much the opposite, in fact. Then I found out there were sex scenes, so I had to do some fast-forwarding, even though the actress was not much to look at.

After I saw the movie, I downloaded a PDF from Google Docs and ordered a paperback so I could say I paid royalties.

I’m amazed at how little I remembered. I’m sure I read it when I was a kid, because everyone did. A lot of it seems new to me. A few decades can really suck things out of your memory. I had forgotten, “2+2=5.”

You can dissect the book and come up with lots of clever commentary, but the two things about it that impressed me the most were the Party’s hatred of truth and reliance on peer pressure.

The book is about a post-nuclear future under an authoritarian government, as everyone knows. The protagonist, Winston (named for Churchill, I would guess) is a member of the nation’s only party.

In 1984, the cancel culture is at its zenith. A person can be guilty of saying the wrong thing, thinking the wrong thing (“thoughtcrime”), and even making the wrong face (“facecrime”). When they catch criminals, they don’t just kill them. They torture them for a long time, then they release them, then they capture them again, then they make them give long “confessions” on TV, and then they execute them.

A person who commits a crime is libeled by the state after he is caught, and once he is gone, all mention of him in print is scrubbed, to the extent that it’s possible. Not only does he no longer exist; he never existed in the past. Such people are called “unpersons.”

It’s a lot like what we do today. If you say the wrong thing, even if you’re right (especially if you’re right), you are likely to have leftists try to fix it so whatever fame you have is rendered unprofitable to you. They try to discredit you retroactively. They try to take away your means of making a living.

Leftists appear to respect the concept of thoughtcrime, because they persecute people for not saying things. My friend Mike has a new granddaughter, and there is some question as to how much he will be allowed to interact with her because he refuses to repost leftist propaganda on his Facebook page, where his friends and business contacts would be disturbed by it. Famous people have been “canceled” because they failed to respond to perceived offenses with sufficient vitriol.

Leftists can’t quite make you an unperson, because it’s not possible to get rid of all past references to you. They would do it if they could.

People in 1984 live in constant terror. They’re not just afraid of the Thought Police. They’re afraid of their neighbors and their children. Anyone can denounce them, for any reason or no reason, starting the process of detention and torture.

It’s a lot like being a Republican on Twitter, while working for an employer that fears leftists.

It’s particularly notable that adults in 1984 fear children. Children are much more strongly indoctrinated than adults, and they are feared because they can report misbehavior. This has actually happened under leftist regimes, and Michelle Obama recruited kids to police adults when her husband was in power.

Leftists have a long history of butting into family relationships and trying to train other people’s children (“it takes a village”). If you can prevent parents from teaching their kids, and you can substitute your own dogma for time-honored wisdom, you can break the chain of tradition and create new generations of household spies and true believers. It may be hard to indoctrinate a middle-aged person who has read a few books, but get them while they’re young, and you have a shot. You can train them to be compliant adults, and you can also use them to terrorize their families, relieving you of the trouble and expense of monitoring them by other means.

Michelle Obama told kids to monitor their elders and correct them when they were perceived to be politically incorrect. No one should have to take correction from a child. It’s perverse. Children are foolish, and our job is to correct them.

When I was a kibbutz volunteer, I slept in a little building across from a dormitory called the Beit Zimmer. The kibbutz was founded by starry-eyed, Stalinist state-worshipers, and they believed kids needed to be raised by the village, not unreliable parents, so they took kids and kept them together in the Beit Zimmer. Eventually, they gave up on it, because the whole idea was unbearable. They got the notion from mainstream leftists. It was nothing new.

Americans are allowed to keep their kids at home, but we have teachers suspending kids for saying, correctly, that there are only two genders. We have kids being suspended for protected political speech. We have kids who are given bad grades for rejecting discredited socialist ideas.

Satan is all about the fatherless. God is our true father, and like a father, he teaches us and helps us not to believe stupid things. God gives us earthly fathers to assist with this. Satan has a long history of coming between children and parents so he can be a fake father and fill their hearts with excrement. This is why Jesus said some Jews who opposed him were sons of hell. They didn’t listen to God, who wanted to be their father. They listened to a supplanter.

Satan undermined Western fathers with toxic feminism. America is largely matriarchal now, and we suffer because of it. Deluded women are the main reason corrosive leftists are elected to powerful offices. It’s not surprising. The first known woman deposed her husband and God and voted for Satan.

Satan is also overempowering children. He wants a state where both women and children have great power over us, because he knows they will rule stupidly and advance his cause. Isaiah pointed out that it was a curse to have men of wisdom removed and to be ruled by women and children.

Orwell’s book was published in 1949, it was read all over the world, and it showed how awful it was for children to dominate adults. It showed how important it was for parents to lead and children to be kept in their place. The world did absolutely nothing to address the problem.

Rewriting history is basically the same thing as undermining fathers. It interferes with inheritance. A society that writes things down provides an inheritance of knowledge for future generations. When you get to erase the truth and write down lies, you take the inheritance away and replace it with poison.

In modern America, leftists work hard to record history incorrectly. For example, right now, they are all over the web and the airwaves, recording false information intended to convince people Kyle Rittenhouse is a criminal, as though it were an obvious and foregone conclusion no reasonable person could question. If it weren’t for people who write down the truth, the leftist lies would become accepted history in the future. Our descendants would be denied their inheritance of truth and fed a plate of arsenic and thorazine.

Leftists have even rewritten the Bible, our most precious written inheritance. They’ve taken out things they don’t like. They’ve even called God “she.” Ian McKellen, a homosexual, claims that when he stays in hotels, he takes Gideon Bibles and rips out the pages criticizing perversion. He thinks it’s cute. He grins when he talks about it.

Those pages are extremely important. They prevent those who take them to heart from indulging in practices God calls “abomination.” Those pages have kept people from being burned in hell.

Since I’ve been reading the book, I’ve learned something very interesting. Orwell was a socialist. I had always thought he hated socialism, because he wrote two books that undermined it. I was wrong. Orwell was deluded. He thought it was possible to have socialism without authoritarianism, even though he wrote Animal Farm.

It shows how a person who doesn’t know God can see part of the picture and still swallow enough poop to do him in.

I guess he was one of the many fools who think the only problem with socialism is that we don’t do it right. Orwell was fatherless, so he had no one to teach him the truth. He didn’t know his father in heaven.

Orwell was guilty of “doublethink,” which was the Party’s word for cognitive dissonance. He believed two contradictory things at once. He was for socialism but against authoritarianism, which is a natural consequence of socialism, as Orwell knew.

It’s sad to see how 1984 resembles modern America. We are becoming afraid of each other. We bend the knee to anyone we think might denounce us.

The social giants now perform the task of 1984’s Ministry of Truth, where texts were destroyed and rewritten. They delete the accounts and postings of people who disseminate important information and reasoned opinion, simply because the new ministries disagree.

Nigeria’s T.B. Joshua had one of the world’s most powerful ministries, and Youtube was packed with his videos. He cast out demons. He healed cripples on camera. He destroyed tumors. He taught people how to know God. Youtube removed all of his helpful, important videos because he cast demons of sexual perversion out of a grown man who asked him for much-needed help. Youtube decided a customary, Bible-sanctioned practice which is an important part of the world’s most popular religion was not fit for public consumption. Youtube also decided the West’s opinions about homosexuality were valid and the beliefs of Africans were not.

By removing Joshua’s channel, Youtube cut people off from part of their divine inheritance. They did Satan’s job. May God destroy their power and abase them for that. I plan to curse Youtube from time to time. I started today.

I don’t expect to learn anything new from the rest of the book. Every lesson it could be expected to teach me has been played out in real life already, starting before I was born.

Unmasking the Truth

Sometimes I feel like I understand the pandemic better than most people, and other times it seems like I have missed the obvious.

Today I saw a report from England which suggests the vaccines have worked. Not “will work.” “Have worked.” What we’re seeing right now may be the best outcome possible until some new medicine comes along. If that’s true, the constant cries for more shots and fewer freedoms may be totally wrong, even according to THE SCIENCE.

A Youtuber from some foreign country or other has a channel called Merogenomics. He says he’s a scientist. For all I know, he could be posting from a trailer in Georgia. He may be a clever Trump-lover who makes up incredibly intricate, convincing data and speaks with a foreign accent in order to fool us. Maybe he spends the rest of his time sending love letters to Honey Boo-Boo.

Hey, it has happened before. Don’t forget FPSRussia.

The point is that I’m not vouching for this guy, but he posted shots of a government report from the UK, and that’s what impressed me.

The report says three things that catch my eye.

First, 98.1% of Britons or whatever they call themselves now have covid antibodies. About 20% have the kind that come from infection. Of course, vaccines provide antibodies, too.

Second, more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people are getting covid, and it’s not because this is inevitable when a huge percentage of the population is vaccinated. The vaccination rate is only around 70%. It appears that the vaccines aren’t doing much to prevent transmission. The Youtube guy says it’s conceivable that they actually make you more likely to get sick. Apparently, this is a known problem with vaccines.

Awesome. Yeah, I remember St. Anthony of Fauci warning me about that, over and over. Not.

Third, if you get the shot(s), you are substantially less likely to die, but not WAY less likely. It looks like you may be up to several times less likely, but that’s about it. That’s the best possible result, in the age groups the vaccine helps most. It’s not 1% versus 99%. They used to tell us it was impossible for a vaccinated person to get really sick or die.

You can probably draw some conclusions from all this.

One conclusion, from Mr. M., is that vaccine apartheid is pointless in high-vax countries covid has already hit hard, because they have reached antibody saturation. Everyone in the UK, apart from a few rare individuals, is about as well off as a vaccinated person when it comes to catching the disease. They can get sick, but they are less likely to die than zero-antibody people.

That conclusion seems a little weak. Apartheid doesn’t make much difference when it comes to transmission rates, but non-vaccinated people are considerably more likely to die if infected, even if they have natural immunity already. I think. Regardless of how it works, death numbers are very low. It sounds like typical vaccine apartheid is nearly useless for the masses, because transmission will still occur all the time, but hard core isolation measures would probably help high-risk people, and reinfected people who only have natural immunity are more likely to die than infected vaccinated people.

We can’t prevent the masses from getting sick, and getting sick is only a problem for certain people in easily identified groups. Seems like we should quit trying to keep the masses become covid-free, because it’s impossible and wouldn’t be very helpful even if it worked, because very few of them will get seriously ill. Like I said in early 2020, it looks like it makes more sense to isolate and work hard to vaccinate only those who are likely to die.

Here’s a conclusion from me: people have been stupid to talk as though the vaccines were going to get rid of the disease. That was never possible with these weak vaccines.

When you listen to politicians, journalists, and 85-IQ celebrities still wearing their disposable rehab bracelets, you hear a lot of strange things about the pandemic.

One is that draconian measures are only needed to “flatten the curve.” We can’t flatten the curve all that much, so people should quit saying that. It has been almost two years, and the evidence is clear. We get quiet periods and then huge peaks and then more quiet periods. We got bigger curves after the shots came out. We will never get a nice, smooth curve until we have real medicines. Can we please change the rhetoric now? Infection numbers in some high-vax countries are higher than ever, so the curve isn’t listening. Either flattening the curve is an unrealistic goal, or we would have had one hell of a curve without the shots.

Another is that the vaccines will turn covid into a relatively uncommon or eradicated illness. Forget that. No real scientist ever thought that would happen. Releasing the Kung Flu into the air was like blowing up a jar of talcum powder in a car with velour seats. You can never get rid of all of it.

The third dumb thing we hear is that we should be alarmed by high infection numbers. It makes it sound like the vaccines aren’t doing any good. What we should look at–I think–are hospitalization and death numbers. These are the only stats the shots had any hope of improving.

If you check these numbers, you will see that the enormous infection rates around the world aren’t always accompanied with skyrocketing hospitalizations and deaths. Not like they were in the past, anyway. Better treatments and the impact of vaccines appear to be reducing serious covid consequences considerably, at least in some countries. Unless the bug becomes more lethal, and barring supernatural intervention, we should expect this trend to continue as medicine catches up with it.

Some countries still have high death rates. Surely that must be due to bad treatment or higher concentrations of fat, sick, and/or old people.

If you’re fat, old, and/or sick, the good news isn’t as applicable to you, but it still matters to everyone else. Even if you die, it’s good that the vast majority of people are going to do well.

My wild guess, based on what I saw, is that we should start thinking of covid as something like athlete’s foot or the common cold. It’s unpleasant, but it’s not a serious threat to the vast majority of us, and it’s never going to go away completely, barring the invention of truly extraordinary new vaccines and treatments.

We should learn to live with it. We WILL learn to live with it, because it appears we have no choice. We should make the decision now instead of closing borders (between countries that are already heavily infected…genius) and, in the case of China, welding people’s front doors shut.

We can’t keep segregating and imprisoning people forever. I guess you could argue that we can do it until the new magical medicines come out. What if that’s 5 years away? Netflix and sweatpants won’t get you through. Deaths and serious consequences are dropping off to levels so low, it’s better to accept them than to continue abusing each other.

Probably. Maybe. The facts keep morphing.

If my understanding of the situation is right, the vaccines have already worked as well as possible. Whoopee. Mission accomplished. But many of us will still get sick. Booo. And some of us will die. Terrible, but unpreventable in free societies.

Perhaps we should declare the vaccines highly successful, after defining the mission correctly. If the mission is to turn a scary disease into a much less scary disease, they have probably done it.

I have never seen anyone define the objective clearly and correctly until today, on Youtube. How can that be? It’s not hard to figure out. Aren’t doctors supposed to be smart? I know politicians are often dumb, and they lie in order to increase their control over us, but they have doctors and pure scientists to tell them what to say, and even with the new efforts to destroy free speech, doctors and scientists can reach the public directly sometimes.

Let’s just admit the objective is to drastically reduce hospitalizations and deaths. If that’s the goal, it looks like we’re there. Let’s release the prisoners while we work on new shots and treatments.

I learned another interesting fact today. The Astrazeneca shots don’t use mRNA. They use viruses, like the Johnson & Johnson shot. I was glad to learn this, because the mRNA shots appear to be putting spike proteins inside people’s cell nuclei, which we were originally told was not possible.

Nobody touches my nuclei. That’s a rule I have.

I picked J&J because I was afraid the mRNA shots would end up messing with my exceptionally great DNA, and it now looks like I, in my ignorance, may have done the right thing. Scientists say the mRNA shots may interfere with DNA repair, and DNA repair prevents mutations, like the ones that cause cancer.

My wife and I had to get shots in order to get together. She got the Astrazeneca shot. We both prayed before getting injected, and neither of us felt that God objected. I thought she was getting mRNA shots, but I trusted her relationship with God, so I didn’t advise her to refuse them. Now I learn she got adenovirus shots, just like me. I’m glad to hear it.

I don’t capitalize the Z in Astrazeneca because I resent hipsters messing with the English language and ruining the rules of capitalization. I write things like Astrazeneca, Youtube, and Ipod. Deal with it, soy people.

Only DeSantis gets a pass. I love that guy.

Did God protect us from the evil DNA-destroying mRNA shots, did he decide to give us special protection regardless of which shots we got, because all the shots are bad, or are all the shots harmless, meaning he didn’t care which ones we got? I do not know. I know I’m not getting an mRNA shot unless an angel shows up with engraved orders delivered on a gold platter.

I have no way of knowing whether the adenovirus shots pose the same risks as the mRNA shots. Doesn’t sound like it, from what I’ve read.

Hope not.

On the whole, I would say vaccine apartheid is not justified in high-vax areas where infection numbers have already been high. Yes, a fair percentage of people will get infected, and some will die, but it appears the casualties will be low. A few deaths here and there, experienced by free adults who knew the risks, don’t justify treating us all like prison inmates.

My state lets people skydive, ride motorcycles without helmets, smoke cigarettes, and use scuba equipment. If we had mountains, it would probably allow the use of wingsuits. Traditionally, Americans have rejected the idea that we should protect everyone from dangerous activities simply because a few will get hurt, even if the public ends up paying the hospital bills.

If Uncle Sam will let me eat at Sonic while smoking unfiltered Pall Malls and drinking straight vodka from a tumbler, he should probably let me assume the very low risk of dying from covid, especially when he has pressured me into buying health insurance.

If this is true, then we should also knock off the mask nonsense. They have never worked well enough to matter, and they are unbelievably unpleasant to wear. If they’re not preventing severe cases in numbers that justify the imposition, then they should be scrapped.

I’m assuming the US has antibody numbers similar to the UK’s, of course. My state’s shot rate is about the same as England’s, so I don’t know why there would be a difference.

Mr. M. says we should have mass antibody screenings. The tests can tell whether your antibodies came from a shot or an infection. I think this is brilliant. Without screenings, how will we know whether we’re getting anywhere or what else we should do?

I am adjusting my thinking. I don’t care about infection numbers now, because infections aren’t going away, and by themselves, they are not a problem. I’ll just look at hospitalization and death numbers. They’re all that matter. To people who aren’t seriously ill, covid is like a cold or nothing. No one gets up and looks at common cold numbers every day. No one cares.

Austria, with a vax rate like Florida’s, is having a covid spike, and they just locked everyone down and issued a 100%-vaccination mandate. Nice. Germany has a similar vax rate and a similar policy. Are these actions justified?

Austria’s latest death number is 55 in one day. Their current hospitalization number is around 1800. Are these emergency numbers? Maybe they are. Austria’s population is 9 million, so it’s not that big, so numbers don’t have to be terribly high to be alarming. Germany, however, has about 8.5 times Austria’s population. The death rate is less than 4 time’s Austria’s, and they don’t appear to be publishing their hospitalization rate. Presumably, it would be in line with the death rate, making Germany’s problem much less severe.

Austria’s figures don’t look good, but if apartheid doesn’t help, as Mr. M. says, is it a good idea?

The kinds of lockdowns humane countries can impose don’t work. Combine that information with the likelihood that nearly all Austrians and Germans have antibodies and some protection, and it seems it may be pointless to keep pushing authoritarian measures. Maybe Austria will continue to have high numbers until covid runs its course again, and the only products of the measures will be to destroy morale and prosperity.

It’s impossible to measure prevented cases.

It’s too bad the African solution hasn’t been tried in advanced nations. As I have written before, it’s a combination of mass prayer, refusal to endorse sexual perversion, lax mask laws, extremely low vaccination rates, and heavy socialization without distancing. It has worked wonders in Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, and other Christian countries where political leaders proclaimed national days of prayer. Covid barely exists in Christian Africa, which rejects America’s bigoted, God-provoking efforts to coerce acceptance of sinful sexual perversion by withholding aid.

Maybe the rainbow flag spreads coronavirus. Maybe that’s the problem. Are the flags made in China? Maybe they soak them in something.

I saw some leftist journalist trying to claim the reason Africa produces low infection numbers is that they don’t do much testing. Unfortunately, Africans themselves have Internet connections and phones, and they can tell you what’s really happening. My wife lives in a large African city, and she says coronavirus is not a factor in everyday life. If THE SCIENCE were right, Africa’s indifference toward covid measures should have resulted in a disastrous plague, but in Christian Africa, very few people are sick with covid.

It’s a shame how leftists make things up without hesitation.

If vaccines, lockdowns, distancing, and great treatment were the answers, Africa’s streets would be full of dead bodies. Instead, they have such low rates, they think of coronavirus as “the white disease.” If Africa had only done no better than the US, it would prove science-worshipers were totally wrong, because noncomplying countries are supposed to do much worse, but Africa has done way, way, WAY better, giving us more proof than anyone could ever want.

Also interesting: when Florida was experiencing a lot of infections and deaths, leftists never mentioned Florida’s old population. The average age here is 42, and we have the nation’s highest percentage of old people. The average age across the US is 38, and many states are a lot lower. The vaccines do not work well on older people, and really old people tend to live close together where they have to breathe the same air. Criminal defendant/former governor Cuomo could tell you how that works out.

Now blue states with no DeSantises are getting hammered, and suddenly, leftojournos have nothing to say about bad governors causing epidemics. What happened? It’s like Iraq. When Bush was in office, we had to put up with a daily counter, listing our military deaths as they occurred. Then Obama was elected, and suddenly, the counting stopped.

Repentance and prayer, on a global level, would get rid of coronavirus, but these things will never happen, because most human beings quietly believe God is like the pope or the queen of England: powerless yet hard to get rid of. Or nonexistent. Rejection of God, not masks and shots, is what will keep covid with us until the end of the tribulation.

Novel Plan to Defeat a Novel Virus

It’s a magnificent day. It’s overcast and cool, and the bugs are not doing well. Perfect day for fixing my pool system’s slow leak, which I resisted so stubbornly, I actually bought an automatic pool-filling device.

My theory is that only one kind of person likes hot, sunny days in Florida: people who never have to work outdoors. Once you’ve spent several hours in the burning sun, swatting mosquitoes that ignore Off, with your clothes so wet with sweat they’re actually less dry than they were when you took them out of the washer, you will appreciate overcast days with low temperatures.

I should be fixing the pool, but here I am, blogging. No surprise there.

This morning, I wondered about something. I wondered about a story that has been ignored by the press. I’m talking about Dennis Prager’s bout of covid.

When Prager caught the disease, leftojournos stampeded to their keyboards to let us know. Old, fat conservative radio hosts have died from covid after making nonconforming remarks about the disease and the world’s response, and here was another one, offering himself up on the altar of dissent. Do I think they hoped he would die? Yes, I do. It’s 2021. We need to be realistic about the thick fog of hatred in which we now live. I’m sure plenty of leftists are sad when anyone dies from coronavirus, but many would be happy to hear that overweight, post-70 Prager had croaked.

I use the word “croaked” because my wife thinks it’s hilarious. They don’t use it in Zambia. American slang sometimes seems very clever to people who haven’t heard it before.

Today I rooted around on the web, and I could not find any news about Prager. Even his own site is nearly useless. You would think his crew would have let people know what was happening, either to boast of his Trump-like triumph or to lament his severe illness or death and defend his decision.

Finally, in a blurb about an October 20 podcast, I saw that Prager had tested negative. That means he was only sick for a few days.

That’s funny. Ordinarily, it would not be funny if a person got mildly ill and recovered quickly, but these are weird times. When a conservative gets covid and gets over it in a hurry, it’s always funny, because you can’t help thinking of all the long faces at Berkeley and in cubicle farms at major news outlets.

Prager’s case was particularly exciting for leftists, because he said he had striven to catch the disease. He claimed natural immunity was better than vaccine immunity. Dubious. He set himself up to become a new left-wing poster boy as soon as he died. Then he ruined everything by bouncing back fast.

The same leftists who thought it was headline news when he got sick completely ignored his recovery. Try and find mention of it on the web.

I like Dennis Prager, and I think he has wonderful intentions. He is generally right. That being said, he is not a genius. He makes mistakes. It was not bright for him to get covid on purpose, and it appears that natural immunity, all by itself, is not as wonderful as he thinks.

Here is how I see it: he wanted to protect himself from covid by developing immunity, so…he got covid. I wouldn’t jump in front of a moving car if I thought it would prevent me from being run over in the future, would you? What if you don’t survive the first time?

The best strategy for preventing yourself from catching covid is to avoid catching covid. At least it seems that way to me.

Prager is not a skinny man, and he is no spring chicken, either. He’s in a high-risk group, at least according to medicine’s admittedly broad, nondiscerning standards. A rational appraisal of his chance of dying would have put him well above 1%. I wouldn’t take ANY elective course of action if it had a 1% or greater chance of causing me to…croak.

Of course, prior to infection, there was no way to know how Prager would fare, because crude statistics applied indiscriminately don’t tell us a lot about individuals.

Modern medicine is remarkable, because a lot of it is based on statistics, as it has to be. The remarkable thing is that doctors, who are scientists of a sort, commit the best-known sin of bad statisticians: they treat correlation as though it were causation.

My 13 readers are smart, so they don’t need me to explain, but I will do it because I feel like it.

An inordinate percentage of people who live in Florida wear white loafers with matching belts fall and break their hips. This is actually true. Conclusion: wearing white belts and shoes makes you more likely to have a hip fracture. This is not true. Most likely.

There is a high correlation between living in Florida, wearing tacky leather goods, and having hip fractures, but moving to Florida and dressing like an extra on The Golden Girls will not increase your chance of breaking your hip, because there is no causal relationship.

Doctors tell us weighing a lot for your height–having a high Body Mass Index or “BMI”–makes you a candidate for early death, simply because there is a correlation among millions of people studied. That’s poor logic. Lean, muscular people who have perfect diets and rigid weight and cardio routines often have higher BMI’s than flabby, sedentary people who eat Pop Tarts twice a day while smoking cigarettes.

Many people with great health have complained about doctors blindly adhering to the BMI myth. It’s bizarre. A doctor looking at an individual should consider things like diet, blood pressure, activity level, body type, tobacco use, and family history, but a lot of them just think about the number.

Doctors tell us the fat, old, and sick are more likely to die from covid. This is true of the group as a whole, but some of these people are naturally immune to it from birth (All or nearly all contagious diseases work that way.), others can only get asymptomatic cases, and still others can only have mild symptoms. Being fat and old (sorry for the blunt language, Mr. Prager) will not necessarily make you highly susceptible to covid problems.

Jeremy Clarkson is definitely fat and old, and in 2020, he said he reckoned he had smoked 375,000 cigarettes. He was afraid of covid. Then he got it, and it was like a mild cold. People in their 90’s have had asymptomatic cases. When doctors say fat, old, and sick people are more likely to die from covid, they’re making a very coarse projection that doesn’t allow for individual variation. Why? Because they have absolutely no solid way to predict that one fat, old, and sick person will die and another one will skate.

Doctors can’t predict whether this or that fat, sick, and/or old individual will have major problems with covid. All they can do is wave at the group and say they should all watch it. They don’t understand the means of causation. Correlation is all they have, so they rely on it because it’s a lot better than nothing. If the vast majority of people with problem covid are fat, old, and/or sick, and that’s all you know, it makes sense to caution all people in these three groups.

Where am I going with this? I’m not sure. I just find it interesting. Doctors don’t know how covid works, so they can’t give individuals solid information about how covid will affect them. I like pointing this out, because the medical/press/government combine seems to want to convince us that THE SCIENCE knows all.

Even though it’s true that doctors are still in the dark, fat, old, and/or sick people should avoid getting covid, because nearly all of the people who are at risk are fat, old, and/or sick. Doctors couldn’t predict how Prager would react, but neither could Prager, and the best information he had suggested he was taking a big chance.

I think he made a very obvious mistake that happened to work out well. He didn’t prove alternative treatments or even conventional treatments were reliable. Maybe the conventional treatment he received helped him, maybe the unconventional treatments he also received worked, or maybe he was never among the people who respond badly to covid. Maybe he was not treated at all. Maybe it was never possible for him to get very sick.

If he were a towering intellect, he would know this. I think he’s just pretty smart.

Wow, I just found a Slate article admitting Prager had recovered. A lonely little voice.

Prager is currently in trouble for saying this:

During the AIDS crisis, can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users, who were the vast majority of the people with AIDS, had they been pariahs the way the non-vaccinated are? But it would have been inconceivable.

Of course, leftists are saying AIDS target-group members WERE treated like pariahs.

So where is the truth? Somewhere in the middle.

I was around when the revolting, behavior-driven venereal disease known as AIDS hit the world. It quickly turned people into tumor-covered, diarrhea- and vomit-spewing, demented living skeletons. I remember how people reacted. I think it’s safe to say most people were skittish about being close to gays. We either didn’t know how hard it was to get AIDS, or we were reluctant to trust the medical establishment, which, to be honest, had been wrong about many, many important things in the past, just as it has been wrong about coronavirus.

People were afraid gays might sneeze near them or somehow get viruses on their hands from bodily fluids and then pass them on to others. It was not a completely unreasonable fear, given how little time science had spent studying the disease.

Another factor: the press dishonestly worked to convince us that AIDS was a preference-blind disease. They tried to make us think we were all in grave danger. Why? So we would support research to make the disease go away. We did support research, so it wasn’t necessary to resort to scare tactics, but journalists used them nonetheless.

Of course, AIDS has never been, and never will be, a heterosexual plague. It’s virtually impossible for a man to get it from a woman. Gay men get it because anuses were not designed for rough thrusting of large objects. Sodomy, an unnatural act, rips anal tissues, allowing AIDS viruses and other pathogens to enter and infect. The vast majority of women who get AIDS get it from closeted homosexual men, drug users, or intravenous drugs. Vaginas are less vulnerable than anuses, but they are still vulnerable. Look it up. Don’t believe me without checking. You’ll see it’s true.

Journalists did their best to make us panic, and a significant number of people succumbed to the propaganda.

There was also a problem with a gay mass murderer who used AIDS as a weapon. His name was David Acer, and he was a dentist. He deliberately infected patients, including a woman named Kimberly Bergalis, who later died. You can say he was never proven to be a serial killer, but that’s what he was. It wasn’t possible for six patients to be infected accidentally through dental treatment. Dental instruments are sterilized or thrown out after every use.

Some think Acer murdered his patients in order to make AIDS look like the heterosexual plague it would never be, in order to stir up concern. This is probably true. Unfortunately, defenders took up for him, and many people believed them. Once you accept the preposterous notion that Acer infected people accidentally, you have to accept another false notion: AIDS is spread easily through casual contact, even in medical facilities with trained staffs and good sterilization protocols. The people who thought they were helping gays by insisting a gay man was not a serial killer were actually contributing to irrational fear and overstigmatization.

To get back to the point, yes, homosexuals were socially ostracized to some degree, but it was never very bad, and the ostracism tapered off with time. And our federal and state governments never said they couldn’t go to restaurants or enter stores. It never tried to fire them from their jobs en masse. They weren’t prevented from publishing books and articles voicing nonconformist views about AIDS. Gays still do that. There is a well-known gay movement that claims AIDS doesn’t really exist; they say it’s really syphilis. No one censors their misinformation.

Gays were prevented from donating blood. Who could say that was unfair? In some areas, 20% of gay men died from AIDS, and early in the epidemic, blood recipients died horrible deaths because of tainted transfusions. The blood-donation ban was not unjust, at least at the start.

It wouldn’t have made much sense to enact government bans to keep gays out of stores and restaurants, because very few people have sex in grocery aisles or on restaurant tables. Prager should acknowledge that. When a person can get a disease from being in the same room with a sick person, it’s hard to fault a government for thinking restrictions are smart, at least until it knows what works and what doesn’t.

Prager’s analogy is not great, and neither are the mindless, victim-mentality rebuttals.

I just don’t think he’s brilliant. He would make better arguments and decisions if he were.

The biggest problem Prager has, though, is that he thinks reason will change America. That’s not true. Too many modern Americans are impervious to reason. Why? Because in order to be able to tell truth from untruth, you have to hear from the Holy Spirit. Generally, modern Americans reject the Holy Spirit, so they can believe anything, no matter how crazy. They can believe men have ovaries, for example.

It’s not enough to believe in God. Most Christians don’t know the Holy Spirit, so they believe stupid things. As what would probably be termed a conservative Jew, Prager is also subject to supernatural deception.

The Bible calls God a rock, and it doesn’t mean a little one you can pick up and throw. God is a vast, immovable rock. He is an anchor that can never be moved. The Holy Spirit connects us to the rock of God’s revelation. Most American Christians think homosexuality and fornication are not sins, even though the Bible clearly states the opposite. Why? No anchor.

In the Bible, sand–tiny rocks–represents the thoughts and ideas of beings that are not connected. When grains of sand are connected, they become rock. They become strong. You can build a house on rock and not worry about it sinking or falling over. When they’re not connected, the wind and rain move them around.

The Bible says people who are not filled with the Holy Spirit have hearts of stone. The hearts of all such people are like a big pile of sand. The Bible says God takes away our hearts of stone and gives us hearts of flesh. It says God we are to write God’s laws on the tablets of our hearts. It says we are letters from Christ, written with the Spirit of Holiness on tablets of human hearts.

If the tablets of your heart are inscribed with God’s laws by the Holy Spirit, you are part of the rock, even though you are physically distant from other believers. God always tells everyone the same things. He gives us the same beliefs, desires, and motivations.

The unconnected, incohesive stone hearts of all the world’s unimproved people are like grains of sand.

People who rely on reason above God are hopeless.

Prager has said this:

My philosophy of life is easily summarized: God wants us to be good. Period. God without goodness is fanaticism, and goodness without God will not long endure. Everything I and PragerU do emanates from belief in the importance of being a good person.

Here’s the problem: Prager, not God, decides what is good. He seems to assume everyone knows what is good. We don’t. Sometimes a slap in the face is a gift, and a soft kiss can be a curse.

A psalm says, “Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a blessing. And let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil which shall not break my head.” It says that if God doesn’t chastise us, we are bastards and not sons.

Sometimes God thought it was good for the Hebrews to kill old people and children. God thought it was good to say sodomy was an abomination and that a person who commits sexual sin sins against his own body. God thought it was good for Paul to refrain from spreading the gospel in Asia, where people desperately needed to hear it.

What seems good to us is not always good. God always knows better.

In many places, God says wicked, cursed people did “what was good in their own eyes.” Not, “They chose to do what they thought was evil.”

People on Earth often fight because of evil motivations they think are good and even holy. Often, people who think they are doing right will get together to kill each other. The Revelation says people who martyr Christians will think they’re pleasing God.

Prager does not hear from the Holy Spirit. If he did, he would be telling other people to get to know him instead of spinning his wheels with useless debates that only serve to make people who disagree with him angry.

My dad hated God and Christianity, and I told him he was wrong for over 30 years. It never did any good, and it didn’t matter that I had evidence which my dad had personally witnessed. One day toward the end of his life, I put a Derek Prince video on and shut my mouth. My dad seemed to fall into a trance. Without warning, he exclaimed, “I’m on the verge!” I thought he meant he was dying. He meant he was willing to give himself to God completely. He said, “I had reservations! They’re gone!”

Decades of arguments and testimony accomplished nothing at all, but when the Holy Spirit showed up and showed my dad the truth, instantly, we were in agreement. My dad received eternal life, and he died in peace.

This is how God wanted us to change the world. He wants us to sow a few seeds, step back, and let the Holy Spirit bring the increase. Debate comes from the enemy.

Jesus said he came to bring division. He didn’t mean division among Christians. He meant division between his children and unbelievers.

Prager’s gospel, like every other ungrounded gospel, is the gospel of Satan. No other way to put it. His intentions are irrelevant. If the Holy Spirit isn’t your guide, Satan is. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Jew, Hindu, Wiccan, atheist, Jehovah’s Witness, or Baptist. There is only one truth, and every other doctrine is sin.

The other day, my wife had a dream in which she was cooking for people. She prepared meat, but it wasn’t good. The problem: no salt.

In the Bible, meat represents the difficult words of God; the things people don’t want to hear and which may be impossible to understand without divine help. Salt is corrosive, with a sharp flavor. It is used to preserve meat, which would otherwise rot.

Jesus called us the salt of the earth. A long time ago, God told me, “We are the salt of the earth, not the sugar.” I saw someone else saw the same thing a while back; God tells all his children the same things. We can’t make all our words sweet. We have to put salt in them. We have to be willing to offend.

The Bible says it’s bad to cause others to offend, but when Jesus said that, he was talking about people who said things that were not true. Jesus offended people right and left. Why do you think he was crucified? Because he was nice?

Time is short. It’s as though we were all on a sinking ship. When a ship goes down, you don’t have time to be polite. You don’t send people engraved invitations to abandon ship and board lifeboats. You say things like, “If your behind isn’t in that lifeboat in 10 seconds, you’re going to die.”

Jesus said that when he returned, he wanted to find people serving meat in his house. He didn’t mean he wanted to see people eating roast beef at church. He meant he wanted to see people teaching others deep truths with plenty of salt. The rest will be left behind.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Joel Osteen is probably the king of the American sugar merchants. I’m not sure he even adds milk. Is he “good” by Prager’s definition? I don’t know, but he’s nice. To everyone except the Holy Spirit, in whose face he slams the door.

I’m glad Prager is okay, and I hope he stops wasting his time.

Vaccine Apartheid Approaches

I get so tired of being right. About bad developments, I mean.

Historically, there has always been a down side to being a prophet, whether real or fictional. Greek fabulists created prophets who were blind, and another punishment was that people didn’t believe them. Real prophets only come from the Jewish God. They suffer with people who don’t believe them, and they are also very unpopular; so much so that human beings do things like putting them in prison, sawing them in half, and crucifying them.

I am not a prophet, but God tells his children a lot of things even if they are not prophets, and, of course, people don’t believe them, and they become unpopular. I have these problems, and I probably shouldn’t be too critical when people don’t believe me, because I, myself, am often surprised when I turn out to be right.

Anyway, it sure looks like we are headed for a future of compulsory periodic coronavirus shots coupled with restrictions that will ultimately result in dissidents being economically and socially ruined. It looks like vaccine passes will get more and more draconian and widespread, and it won’t be a big shock if there is a move to establish a global pass. I’m sure it’s already underway, now that I think about it. It’s too obvious not to have happened.

Googling–Duckduckgoing, actually–I see that people are already discussing a “global” standard for vaccine passes. Right again. It was not a hard guess to make, though. It was about as hard as guessing gas prices would go up after Biden was elected.

St. Anthony of Fauci has announced that we are “overthinking” the booster decision, trying to decide who should get it and who should not. He says…wait for the surprise…we should all get it. The British are already doing third shots. I saw a funny headline the other day. Wish I could remember where I found it. Something about three-shot people turning on two-shot people. That will actually happen, even though the person who wrote it was kidding.

Maybe one really is the loneliest number.

I got my shot, so I used to be fully vaccinated. Now I’m not. Until I get my second shot, I will be no better than Joe Rogan or Alex Jones. A coronavirus untouchable. Again.

I just want to reiterate that I never wear a mask, I never ran out of toilet paper, and whenever I want to, I can walk into my bank armed with a loaded pistol and a sheath knife. God bless rural Florida and Ron DeSantis.

To make things more offensive, I never recycle anything other than big batteries and motor oil, I eat as much beef as humanly possible, and I deliberately bought the world’s most eco-hostile washing machine. It runs on high-sulfur coal.

Not really.

I’m very self-indulgent, so I’ll go ahead and digress. My best friend Mike, the poor soul, “lives” near Boston. Is that living? He’s in New Hampshire. He speaks in tongues and likes guns. He is divorced, and he would like to remarry. There are virtually no sane women anywhere near him, and because he has to drive in and out of Massachusetts a lot, he can’t arm himself except at home. On top of that, he loves Ocala (where I live), he loves barbecue, he loves horses (Ocala’s reason for existing), and he can’t stand the socialist colonial-organism state.

I have been telling him he needs to leave the Northeast. The women alone are sufficient reason. I went to Columbia, and it’s a wonder I didn’t turn gay. The women, or “gals,” as Rush Limbaugh used to say, were horrible. My dad got a look at them, and he referred to them as “the Barnard bush hogs.” He wasn’t a nice Christian like me.

The other day, Mike shocked me by calling and saying he was about ready to pull the trigger. That’s a metaphor, in case any leftists are reading this. He is ready to move down here and put up a house.

This would mean he would have to stay with me for a while, which is not good news for my toilet seats. On or shortly after two of his visits, two different seats mysteriously broke. He claims he’s innocent, but I’m not listening. The fact that one seat was made with carbon steel screws that rusted through doesn’t faze me.

Now I know what kind of jobs lower-tier engineering students get.

I told Rhodah about it, and she practically insisted I invited Mike to stay here. Aren’t wives supposed to hate having their husbands’ friends around? If she is here, she even plans to clean up after him. If she does that, he may never leave.

Toilet seat issues aside, it would be a lot of fun. It would be like the elderly version of Step Brothers.

I saw another article that said scientists now claim that covid vaccines lose their effectiveness in everyone, regardless of age, even after two magical shots. Isn’t that special? If true, it means death-fearing godless people have new ammunition to drive their mandatory-vaccination push. One more stone to throw at people who don’t want to be experimental pincushions. It also provides more motivation for death-fearers to comply with government commands.

Let’s see. Shots that have to be administered several times each year, which you can’t get without government involvement. Vaccine passes without which your abilities to participate in commerce and thrive financially will be taken away. Terrified state-worshiping masses who fear death and don’t believe in heaven. Add it all up, and you get vaccine apartheid and a perfect social storm which will make Christians more hated even than they are today.

We are already seen as superstitious savages whose disproven beliefs are the only things that stand between informed, righteous statists and their long-awaited gay-friendly, zero-covid greentopia. The combine has decided Christianity is wrong; that’s the official position. They don’t tolerate us because they’re open-minded. They have concluded, without evidence, that Jesus does not exist and that we are no better than a cargo cult.

Vaccines are not the mark of the beast, but we may soon see a worldwide move to create a global vaccine pass which is the mark. Christians who are really Christians will not accept it. The Bible says people who take the mark go to hell. Covid and poverty are much better than hell, especially when death is followed by heaven.

The shots are not working. It amazes even me, a right-wing kook, but it’s true. They just do not work. England and Germany are doing a lot worse than they did with no vaccines at all. Amusingly, the Prime Minister of England, Boris Johnson, is blaming the continent, saying that’s where England’s new wave came from. It’s just like syphilis; when it arrived from the Americas, the Italians called it the French Disease, and the French called it the Italian Disease. It was actually the American Disease, just like covid is the Chinese Disease, the Kung Flu, the Hong Kong Fluey, or, perhaps more accurately, the Fauci/Wuhan Lab-Created Disease.

No, Boris. England is a carrier, not a victim. Germany is in big trouble, England is in big trouble, and France, which is between Germany and England, is not nearly as bad. If the continent were England’s problem, England would have been hit after France. The French will probably get sicker, too, and that will be largely because of travel between France and England.

Travelers between England and France are free to do their thing, as long as they present…guess what? Proof of vaccination. Which does not work.

Again, when I say it doesn’t work, I mean it doesn’t work well, not that it doesn’t work at all.

Look, last year, covid had all sorts of time to infect Europeans, and vaccines arrived late in the year, so exposure was pretty bad. Now a big percentage of people are vaccinated, and infection numbers in some large countries are much worse than they were last year. The vaccines don’t work well. It’s not my opinion. It’s a fact.

I wonder why syphilis got its start in South America. Right now, Latin American males are unusually likely to have sex with animals. It’s actually considered normal for young men in some countries. Maybe it has always been that way.

Jeremy Clarkson accidentally filmed a man sodomizing a donkey in South America, and when he asked the locals about it, they grinned and told him it was normal. They said a donkey is a man’s first girlfriend. A Cuban boxer once told me his dad and his dad’s friends raped pigs regularly in Cuba. Some Spanish-speaking nations are known for live acts featuring women and animals. Maybe the practice was handed down from Indians. Who knows what you could catch?

The world is a fascinating place, and I don’t mean that in a good way.

What’s happening is this: people who fear death are running to the government and pushing for coercive laws in a relatively ineffective effort to prevent them from getting a disease that has a low fatality rate except in the fat, the old, and the sick. Christians are not as afraid of death, because we seriously believe we will go to heaven, and we are very afraid of hell, which is where we will go if we take the mark of the beast. Death-fearers see us as a tremendous threat which is likely to kill them young, and that’s wrong. They also see covid as much worse than it is and anti-covid measures as much better than they are.

They’re all going to die. No one lives forever in a flesh body. They just don’t want to think about it right now. They want to make death seem far away, like a star that takes a thousand years to reach in a spaceship. Our refusal to panic, coupled with the small increase in covid that our resistance may produce, is driving them mad with anger.

If you’re 30, you probably have 50 years left. If you’re 60, you probably have 20 years left. You will die, and it’s not that far off. I’m probably as close to death as I am to the age of 30. If you’re 50, think how recent your 10th birthday seems. Your death is probably closer.

It’s going to happen. Science can’t help you. Best to man up and get ready instead of panicking and disgracing yourself.

The other day, I saw a Russell Brand video. I used to think he was an utter idiot and Hollywood conformist who never had an original or intelligent thought. Now the left, his natural allies, have turned on him. They’re calling him a right-wing conspiracy nut.

He has a very popular Youtube and Rumble channel where he goes after government BS. He has little confidence in the vaccines. He put up a video collage of news show snippets, showing how the networks put Pfizer ads up over the talking heads. Pfizer is a gigantic contributor to networks who report on…Pfizer.

It’s kind of funny to watch Brand, because he is constantly expressing shock over the dishonesty in government and journalism. He seems to think he’s exposing something we didn’t know about. The naivete is astonishing. It’s like a stubborn mental illness.

Human beings lie! Governments only care about power! The mainstream media withholds the truth and knowingly publishes falsehoods! When did this start happening? Why was I not informed?!

His followers seem to think he’s a genius. That’s even more amazing than his own innocent conceit.

Didn’t Fox News start broadcasting 26 years ago? Russell Brand is Columbus, and Rupert Murdoch is the Vikings.

I think I’ll go outside and discover Florida.

Unfortunately, Brand is not a Christian, and he’s probably not conservative. He says he’s apolitical, which is facially absurd. He seems to think Democrats and Republicans are about the same, which makes him sound like a libertarian. If he still smokes weed, he probably is a libertarian. They are obsessed with dope. It’s the craziest thing. If dope didn’t exist, they would all be Republicans.

Brand thinks we can all hold hands, sing “Here Comes the Sun,” hold The Man accountable, and produce a society in which all the puppies and kitties sleep safe in the sunshine in a world free of human frailties.

He thinks man can solve our problems.

WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS? Hello?

Brand has great intentions, and he’s funny, but he has zero understanding of human nature. Understanding human nature is one of the main things that makes people conservative. Capitalism harnesses human nature and gets the best possible results. Leftism requires human nature to go away on command. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Now, to make this work, humanity will just have to stop being selfish, as of, ready for it? Now. Glad that’s fixed.”

There was a point to all this rambling, and here it is: Brand is upset because Jeff Bezos and some other billionaires are trying to get rid of death!

What a terrible idea that is.

Brand thinks it’s creepy and that it will lead to a two-class society of oppressed mortals and dominant immortals who are deformed by medical science in order to prevent them from dying.

He’s missing the really big points.

First of all, if people don’t die, where are we supposed to put them? Where are they supposed to get their food? Where will we put their poop? In a world where people don’t die, the population will quickly become so great life on Earth will be even less worth living than it is now.

If we become immortal while we’re still stuck here, the human population will increase, but the available farm land won’t, and the oceans won’t start producing more fish. Sounds like a recipe for Soylent Green.

Second, what are you supposed to do on this disappointing planet for eternity? Think how bored you would get after a couple of hundred years. You would have read every book and seen every movie. You would have gone through your bucket list 15 times. You would generally know what people were going to say or do before it happened. The annoying faults of other human beings would have worn you down to the bone. What good is all that?

Third, do you really want to be Jeff Bezos for eternity? A short, bald, homely guy with a gut? A man who isn’t especially smart or talented? A man whose biggest accomplishment was to luck out with one really good retailing model? If Bezos were truly exceptional, he would have done other things, the way Elon Musk has.

If people live forever, what will happen when couples marry and want to have kids? We’ll have to ban reproduction. Maybe we’ll look to China for advice on forced sterilization and abortion.

Some people will die even if we put an end to aging. They’ll need to be replaced when our numbers get low enough. Who gets to have babies? Who makes the decision? Will we end up with an Earth where every baby looks like a bald Harry Shearer, because everyone was created using Bezos semen? There go professional sports.

Remember the movie scene where Dr. Strangelove brainstormed about preserving humanity by putting government-elite males in mineshafts stock with 10 fertile whores per man? The Bezos project brings it to mind.

It’s amazing how crazy you get when you fear death and believe it’s a bad thing.

I don’t have Bezos’ problem. I look forward to the next stage of life, which is what the afterlife is. I know it’s a release from prison, not obliteration or pain.

When I die, I won’t have to take my reading glasses with me. I will never have to diet or exercise again. I will never have another argument. I will never feel pain or be sick again. I’ll never pay another bill. I’ll never care about what the United States government or other people want to do to me. I’ll know Jesus personally, and he’s like a supernova of love and help. You want to stay on Earth forever? Be my guest. I want to be raptured, the sooner the better.

My understanding is that raptured people return to Earth in the flesh after the tribulation, but even if we’re not in heaven, it will be an Earth free of curses, evil spirits, and hostile non-Christians. Jesus will be here in the flesh, governing the world. Things will go well all the time. Bugs won’t bite, predation won’t exist, and every creature will get along with every other creature. Then, eventually, we will die and become spirits in heaven.

Call me crazy, but it sounds better than being injected with monkey stem cells or whatever, so I can stay here and keep suffering.

During some of our wars, GI’s hoped for wounds that were just bad enough to get them sent home. They were called “million-dollar wounds.” That’s death, the rapture, for you. A ticket home from the war zone. I don’t want to lose that.

I don’t expect life-extension research to go anywhere. THE SCIENCE is very primitive right now, and I believe the rapture is nearly here, so whatever embarrassingly bad work has been done when Jesus comes for us will not have time to improve much.

God’s way is always a lot simpler than Man’s Rube Goldberg, cobbled-together workarounds, and ordinarily, people don’t want to extend bad experiences.

Now that I’ve said my piece, let’s all go back to watching the Rittenhouse case and wondering whether there will be riots or merely a gigantic, brazen miscarriage of justice.

One thing is for sure: if Rittenhouse rioters destroy Kenosha, they will be treated much more kindly than the unarmed goofballs who scared Congress in January.

You Made Them do This

Yesterday, I got smacked in the face with another reminder that civilization is dissolving.

As you may know, shoplifting is, for all practical purposes, legal in San Francisco. You can literally walk into a store, take a garbage bag out of a box on the shelf, fill it with merchandise of your choosing, and stroll past the security guard with your middle finger raised high. And because San Francisco permits public nudity, you can do all this naked. It’s not clear what purpose the guards serve now. Perhaps they’re reverse-greeters. Instead of greeting you when you walk in (which is annoying) they can wish you and your stolen goods a nice day as you leave.

New York is just about as bad. The Wormy Apple has new bail laws which allow most arrested thieves to walk free after booking. No bail required. New York is also choosing not to prosecute lots of cases.

I believe the theory is that because bail laws are harder on minorities and the poor than the rest of us, they’re inherently racist and classist.

It used to be that our legislators understood that not all laws that hit minorities harder were inherently racist. If you pass a city ordinance banning an antisocial act, and it turns out more Polynesians than whites are arrested as a result, because they are more likely to perform the act, it doesn’t necessarily mean the law is racist. It may be a fair, race-neutral law which hits Polynesians harder because they choose to violate it more often. If a particular group decides to break the law more often, it’s their hard luck if they are arrested more often. They deserve it, so it’s good they’re being arrested.

These things are obvious.

The truth, which always offends people, is that blacks and Hispanics commit way, way more crime than everyone else, so it’s good that they have to post bail more often. It would be unfair if they did not, because it would mean other groups were being treated more harshly. The original bail laws were not written with minorities in mind, with racist intent. They were written to protect us from criminals of all varieties. If you choose to be a criminal, you opt into the bail system, so instead of making asinine claims of racism, you should shut your mouth and put up the cash.

In America, over 50% of our homicides are committed by black people, so all laws involving murder hit black people disproportionately. If laws that hit black people disproportionately are racist, then all laws aimed at preventing and punishing murder are racist. We definitely need those laws, so does this mean we want racist laws and a racist system? Uh, no.

As for the poor, I suppose bail should be set so people of means have to pay more. Otherwise, many would turn potential prison terms into painless fines. They would post bail and run off. For all I know, courts already consider the wealth of defendants. I am not a criminal lawyer, and Google searching doesn’t turn up much information on the subject.

There is a limit to what government should do for the poor, though. Trying to make life “fair” to the poor, meaning similar outcomes in every situation, is stupid, futile, and somewhat unfair. The whole point of working to accumulate wealth is to make your life easier. It’s supposed to do that. It’s okay. It’s good. If wealthy people didn’t have better lives, we would all beg or work at McDonald’s, and nothing would ever get done.

To this day, we are surrounded by things Thomas Edison invented, or which followed from his inventions. He worked like a dog. Did he do it for social credit? Did he do it out of patriotism or a desire to bring about justice? Of course not. Edison was a ruthless capitalist, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. He adored money. Rich people do more for the world than poor people, because the world gives them more back.

If you do more for society than another person, it would be unfair for government to step in, take money from people like you, and use it to buy that person things you earned. Of course, this is what our socialist government does all the time. It’s amazing that anyone doesn’t think America is socialist.

Leftists say people who are indigent shouldn’t have to pay anything. That may make sense for people who rack up parking tickets or solicit prostitutes, but thieves need to be confined in order to protect society, so my feeling is that if you’re too poor to pay the bail, you’re too poor to do the crime. If you commit a crime knowing you can’t make bail, your pretrial detention is your own fault.

What about the presumption of innocence? If it was a factor in setting bail, no one would be jailed before trial. You may be presumed innocent for purposes of the trial, but as for arrest, booking, and detention, you’re guilty until proven innocent. If that sounds bad to you, picture Jeffrey Dahmer sitting at home awaiting trial, chewing on a fried human buttock and admiring a jar containing alcohol and your son’s severed genitals.

Nearly all arrestees are guilty, so don’t feel too bad.

Anyway, we need cash bail, pretrial detention, and incarceration to protect the innocent and prevent society from breaking down. But leftists are under supernatural delusion, so they are trying to do away with these things. They are trying to wokify us from the sleep of sanity.

I was talking to my charming bride the other day, and I talked about the new legal shoplifting, and I said the next thing to expect was store closures, followed by complaints that the store owners were racists. You know how it works. If a chain won’t operate in bad neighborhoods, leftist nuts say they’re racist and greedy. Never mind that it’s not possible to turn a profit or break even when thieves run amok in your business.

Oddly, if they DO put stores in minority neighborhoods, it’s gentrification and an attack on minority-owned businesses, so there is no way to win.

Yesterday, my prediction came true. Walgreen’s closed a San Francisco store because looters made it impossible to keep it going, and guess what locals said? They complained that Walgreen’s only cared about money. They said they had relied on the store to feed their families. One person said “reform” was needed, but that a person who needed food to feed her children should do what she had to do, meaning steal.

What was notably absent in the story? Remarks like, “I can’t believe how much people here steal. It’s destroying the neighborhood. We need to shame thieves and march against crime. We need prosecutions and jail time. Men need to stop impregnating multiple unmarried women and leaving them on their own to raise criminals.”

What was missing was accountability, not to mention honesty.

I read it, and I thought, “Go ahead and starve. You did this to yourselves, and you haven’t learned a thing.”

In Joe Biden’s America, a kid who tries to protect businesses from rioters is a dangerous vigilante, actual vigilantes who try to lynch him in the street are martyrs and heroes, and drugstore chains exist to give criminals free beer, junk food, and things they can sell on street corners.

In America, we now have prosecutors who have time and resources to railroad innocent people who kill in clear-cut, classic, well-documented cases of self-defense, but we can’t find anyone to go after imbeciles who go into stores and fill up duffel bags.

I wonder what a typical shoplifter selling Walgreen’s merchandise would do if someone tried to steal it. I assume he would stand by and watch, wishing them godspeed and thanking them for letting him play a part in fighting income inequality. I’m sure he wouldn’t beat him bloody or threaten him with a weapon.

Is it a crime to steal from a thief? I don’t even know. Maybe it’s receipt of stolen goods. If you steal my garbage, it’s not theft, even if it’s in my possession, because it’s not my property. If that’s true, can it be theft if you steal 90 boxes of stolen Depends from a Social Justice Warrior who ripped off a CVS?

My wife Rhodah says shoplifting is not yet legal in poor, backward Zambia. She says that if you shoplift in Zambia, the store owners grab you, call the police, and give you a coat of spray paint to humiliate you. And they don’t get charged with anything.

It’s not the height of due process, but it shows that not every nation is as insane as America’s Blue Belt. Zambia’s approach is much healthier than letting cretins make commerce impossible.

“Walgreen’s fed my family.” What a stupid, despicable, evil thing to say to the management of Walgreen’s. You should say it to the thieves your community shelters and pays. They caused the problem. Walgreen’s did everything right. Let’s be honest. National chains do more than they have to. They open stores in bad neighborhoods, knowing they won’t do well, just to keep SJW’s quiet. Your local Dollar General may really be a charity.

The article made me very sad. I felt like crying. I’m not a weepy person, so I can’t claim I actually cried, but I felt very bad. The apocalypse is really here, and there are millions of Americans who can’t be saved because they are just too trashy and proud.

I saw something else that made me certain the end was upon us. Reddit now has a disgusting new area, and the large corporations Buzzfeed and Yahoo are promoting it. It’s called “byebyejob.”

The idea is that someone gets fired, usually for being unwokenated, and members of the group pounce on him or her, celebrating personal destruction with sick and often obscene comments. Most of the entries are about people who got in trouble for things like not allowing the government or their employers to rape them with needles. “My body, my choice,” is not what it used to be. Of course, this is the Internet, so the comments are vicious, baseless, biased, and ignorant.

They even went after Terry Gilliam, a leftist if there ever was one; a proud draft dodger who makes depressing nihilist movies. He complained about MeToo’s excesses and joked about people being offended when he said he was a “black lesbian in transition.” Now he’s officially unbewokened and banished. His Old Vic production of a Sondheim musical is canceled.

Hateful extremists posting stuff like this are not new, but it’s discouraging to see major Internet players endorsing it. It shows that only one side is allowed to speak now. Words, not guns and bombs, control the world, so when you can’t speak, you are not merely gagged, but chained.

I was thinking about revival yesterday, and I believe I had a revelation. I had decided to quit praying for revival, because I thought America was too far gone, but I wondered if I had made the right decision. Then I thought about it. God poured the Holy Spirit out on America about 120 years ago, and we have seen all sorts of healings, miracles, and prophecy. He has given us every chance. The whole time, people have been praying for revival, but America has turned on God instead.

I realized praying for revival was dumb. Revival doesn’t depend on what God does. It depends on what we do with our free will. How many hundreds of millions of revival prayers has God heard in the last century? There is nothing wrong with the prayers or God. The problem is that we’re asking him to do humanity’s job.

If America were going to have revival, we would have already had it. We don’t want it.

When the Hebrews worshiped the golden calf, and God told Moses he would destroy them and raise a new race up from him, Moses interceded for them. Shouldn’t I be as patient as Moses, especially since I used to be God’s enemy? Is it right for me to jump in the lifeboat and quit pulling others in? Thing is, I have been patient. Nearly all of us have.

Also important: God punished the Hebrews who rebelled. He killed lots of them, and he made the whole group wander in the sand for 40 years until nearly all the older people died. Moses, for all his patience and love, didn’t save them from extreme punishment which lasted decades.

The best thing is to pray for God to conserve the people who are saved and to prevent them from being lost before the rapture. I pray for this, and I ask him to come as soon as possible. This place is absolutely crazy. Americans think men menstruate, women have penises, common sense laws are racist, and the police are more dangerous than the civilians who commit nearly all murders. I’m done praying for America. Done, done, done. Americans have had one break after another, and we haven’t learned a thing. Let America destroy itself. I can’t do anything about it. Better to pray for the family of God.

Bidentube Uses the Ratchet Principle to Guarantee Warm Receptions

“FJB” is really “Let’s go, Brandon,” the networks have muted ballgame crowds to hide anti-Biden chants, and now, officially, nobody dislikes Joe Biden’s videos.

Joe Biden’s White House videos attracted huge dislike/like ratios, so guess what Youtube did? They decided to disable the dislike count for ALL videos. Biden, AKA Mr. Transparency, had already implemented a policy of disabling comments, so now there is no way to do anything but like a Biden video.

Youtube claims it decided to get rid of the dislike count for all videos because they were worried small creators would get their feelings hurt. Hmm. Isn’t this the same company that deletes channels without warning or explanation? Same company that demonetizes videos and cripples conservative creators financially? I believe it is, so I don’t believe the official explanation. To Youtube twerps who make harsh decisions, creator tears are sweeter than Dom Perignon.

They want to protect Biden so badly, they’re willing to mess with the entire system and even give up dislikes on conservative videos in order to hide their bias.

I learned about this when I ran into a video by Mark Dice. He’s a political commentator. I’ll post it here. I don’t recommend watching this sort of channel, but this video is worth making an exception.

You are being put in restraints, one strap at a time. It’s exactly what I’ve been predicting for years. Get used to it. It’s not going away. It will get worse. If you disagree with the left, you will soon lose nearly all ability to express yourself on the Internet.

Remember those old videos of conquered people waving flags, throwing roses, and cheering invading Nazis? That’s us. You can applaud, but you can’t complain.

This stuff is not insignificant. It’s extremely dangerous. The world is controlled by words, not bombs, guns, ships, or planes. No voice, no unity, no power.

Get over the fantasy that your votes, protests, and guns will fix America. Withdraw from the Beast’s rigged game and give yourself to God. He will provide for you and include you in the rapture.

Smart Protestors Will Score Bigly on Blue Friday

In anticipation of a not guilty verdict in the sham trial of railroaded community activist and good Samaritan Kyle Rittenhouse, I thought it would be a good idea to help people prepare for the evening of the announcement.

According to PC Magazine, the Hisense 75U9DG is one of 2021’s top over-75″ TV sets. The review says this:

The 75U9DG uses what the company calls “dual cell” technology, which layers two LCDs on top of each other over an LED array backlight system to control how much light gets out much more precisely than a single LCD and LED array can. The results are impressive, with nearly OLED levels of contrast while offering a peak brightness far higher than an OLED panel can reach and maintaining plenty of detail across the board, with a much lower price than any MicroLED or DVLED TV.

I don’t know what more you could want. This beautiful set sells for around $3000, so if you keep it in the box, you should be able to resell it for about $500, and that should keep you and your crew set for weed for a good part of the holiday, not “Christmas,” because that would be racist, season.

The LG OLED83C1PUA, which has an 83″ screen that will humiliate everyone else in your dorm, halfway house, or Section 8 housing project, boasts OLED technology, plus AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, “making it a terrific high-end option for gamers,” according to PC Magazine’s review. Needless to say, it would be spectacular for all forms of pirated pornography. You can buy it (just kidding) for about $6000, so a quick flip should net you enough hash oil to put you into 2022.

If you’re an early bird, consider the Sony Master Series XR-83A90. This 83″ set has it all. The OLED screen is very bright, and the color range is unparalleled. It has far-field microphones for Google Assistant voice control, so, as a person who hates all forms of honest, Eurocentric, patriarchal work, you will never have to strain your fashionably pliant wrist picking up the remote. It won’t wrestle itself onto the top of your decade-old Kia Soul, however. People who still pay for things will have to shell out $8000 for one of these sets, but if you get to Best Buy before everyone else, it’s yours for the taking.

Smart activists for needed social change will be parked at Best Buy several hours before the verdict is announced. Or, if you’re in enforcement-free zones such as San Francisco and New York, simply go ahead and grab the set of your choice today. Society owes it to you.

You may also want to stock up on tasteful four-figure athletic shoes for the discerning looter, as well as flagship liquor brands you don’t have the palate to appreciate.

We live in a world where perfect storms are weekly fare, and the Rittenhouse trial, Wisconsin’s tribute to Franz Kafka, is an example. It’s bad for a whole bunch of reasons.

1. It has helped convince violent, thieving leftists they will never be punished no matter what they do. Gaige Grosskreutz, the communist whom Rittenhouse crippled with one skillfully delivered shot, committed a whole host of crimes in his attacks on Kyle. He showed up with an illegal pistol, even though he already had one conviction for carrying illegally. He violated curfew. He pursued and attacked an innocent man he knew to be running to the police, drawing and pointing his illegal gun in the process. Instead of arresting him, Deputy DA Angelina Gabriele and her ethics-deprived lackeys have turned him into a local hero. Maybe Kenosha will build a statue of him, to replace a historical villain such as George Washington or the man who invented soap.

2. It has helped convince conservatives their government will use any excuse to put them in prison, even when they are victims, not criminals. This is actually true in many areas. It’s not an exaggeration. The system, including a Republican governor, turned on George Zimmerman, and now it’s doing its best to destroy the life of a kid who volunteers to protect businesses (with encouragement from the police) and clean up other people’s graffiti. When people think the law will not be enforced fairly, it stimulates illegal resistance.

3. It has convinced leftists who don’t understand (or want to understand) the law that it’s okay to pressure judges and jurors to “do the right thing.” This is incredible. How can anyone be that stupid? A man was caught shooting video of the Rittenhouse jurors. How would you like to be on that panel, knowing your name would soon be released to the slobbering rioter pool? How would you like to be on trial and see random morons trying to scare the jurors? Anyone over the age of 5 should be able to understand how dangerous it is to pressure judges and juries. It should be illegal. It is not a reasonable exercise of the right to self expression.

4. An acquittal will almost surely lead to leftist tantrums, causing millions of dollars’ worth of property destruction, the loss of many jobs, many injuries, and at least a handful of deaths. Deputy DA Angelina Gabriele should never have charged an innocent man. Apart from the illegality, the breach of ethics, the cruelty, and the immorality, she set America up for new riots. By setting her seal of approval on the unjust prosecution, she gave people who are not smart the impression that Rittenhouse was unquestionably guilty. A bright lawyer, and by “bright,” I mean unlike Gabriele, would have seen this coming. Geniuses generally don’t become district attorneys, however. District attorneys are generally politicians.

5. The trial will make some Americans afraid to arm or defend themselves, resulting in decreased deterrence and increased crime. So robbery and rape victims, and murder victims and their families, may have Angelina Gabriele and Assistant DA Thomas Binger, who is mishandling the trial, to thank.

You think prosecutors only go forward with strong cases? You think they aren’t corrupt? Go watch what Binger has done. He should have moved for dismissal as soon as he saw the evidence. Instead, because he knows Kyle is innocent and that knowledge has him in fear of losing, he is resorting to tactics such as commenting on Kyle’s choice to remain silent. That’s blatantly unconstitutional.

Quick story: a friend of mine was a prosecutor in Miami. A University of Miami athlete was arrested for delivering a beating to another student. If you know anything about UM’s history of fielding criminals, you will not be shocked. When Notre Dame used to play UM, their fans would show up in “Catholics vs. Convicts” shirts.

College athletes are typically physically gifted to begin with, and they also take performance-enhancing drugs and train under strength and conditioning coaches. It’s amazing how they transform. I knew a UM football player who had a physique like Mike Tyson. He was so strong, he beat up heavyweight contender Shannon Briggs outside a bar. When I saw him a few years later, he looked about as intimidating as Martin Lawrence. Without UM’s help, he did a reverse Hulk metamorphosis. If he ran into Shannon Briggs today, he would be in big trouble.

His girlfriend complained that he was always overheating. He had to have the air conditioning turned down very low in order to sleep at night. Guess what? Steroids make people feel hot and sweat more. I have no doubt that he was juicing, and I’m sure a huge percentage of other college athletes are doing it and getting away with it.

Anyway. getting a beating from a Division I football player in training is a very bad experience. The crime was serious.

My friend told me that Kathy Rundle, the State’s Attorney (same as a DA) had a chat with him, informing him that because the athlete was important to UM, he was going to sit down and make the victim agree to a lesser charge.

True story? I don’t see why not. My friend had no reason to lie to me, and he’s a liberal Jew. It’s not like I heard it from Steve Bannon.

This is how our legal system works. It’s astonishing that justice is ever done. The only way to assure that you don’t get an unfair result from our legal system is to avoid involvement with it.

Kyle should be acquitted, but unfortunately, juries are not very smart, and they are not accountable. A juror can side with a plaintiff because he likes his socks, and he can’t be penalized for it. If the jurors are all leftists (something the prosecutors have tried to assure), and they have no principles, Kyle will be convicted. If some are fair people or biased conservatives, he will walk.

My best guess is that he will walk, because the prosecution did the opposite of its job. It proved him innocent. It hammered the point home, over and over. “This man was defending himself. You will look like idiots if you convict. ” Even a biased jury is likely to have a few jurors who are not willing to do the wrong thing when the truth is sufficiently obvious.

In Wisconsin, a felony jury has to vote unanimously in order to convict. That’s a high bar for Binger to clear. One sane person can keep Kyle free.

This is why people who want to get a jump on Black Friday need to be scouting out the malls right now.

A just verdict of not guilty will send leftists out into the streets with their shopping lists and revenge lists. An unfair conviction will send conservatives…nowhere. They will not riot.

Legal experts are calling for Binger’s disbarment. I don’t know if that’s realistic, but it shows that his misdeeds are egregious enough to drive trained attorneys to put their reputations on the line with their public demands.

Lawyers have to obey rules of ethics, and some of the rules are very harsh. They are not always enforced, however. For example, in Florida, a lawyer who makes a misrepresentation to a tribunal is guilty of a disbarment offense. I had an attorney do this in a lawsuit directed at me, and nothing came of it. Out of all the actors in a typical courtroom, the lawyers are least likely to lie, but it does happen, and if you look at bar disciplinary actions, you won’t see people being disbarred for it. Generally, it’s for stealing or failing to do their jobs.

I don’t know how the Wisconsin bar will feel about a prosecutor commenting on a defendant’s silence in a single case. It doesn’t sound like something they would get excited about, especially if the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which oversees attorney discipline, is tilted leftward. On the one hand, leftists jurists love defendants and look for opportunities to weaken prosecutors, but on the other, they generally hate Kyle.

My wild guess, based on no research: Binger survives.

It’s distressing to see how the world has abandoned the truth and cozied up to lies. Right now, respected journalists, as well as less-respected people such as Illtwitterates, are stating, as fact, that the judge in the Rittenhouse made a racist remark. Anything to discredit his pro-defense rulings and a possible acquittal.

Have you read the remark? Off the coast of California, thanks to Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, and unions, container ships from Asia and other places are stacked up, waiting to be unloaded. Before a lunch break, the judge said, “I hope the Asian food isn’t coming . . . isn’t on one of those boats along Long Beach Harbor.” I am omitting a few words, because he dithered a little.

That’s his big racist remark. In order for it to be racist, it has to be a negative remark about Asians. How are people finding that negativity in the remark? Just like the Supreme Court found the right to murder the unborn in the Constitution. They’re imagining it.

Asians sent us stuff, so they did their jobs. Now it’s stuck in transit because Americans are doing stupid things. The judge didn’t criticize Asians who made or shipped the stuff. He’s not even criticizing the food, which doesn’t exist, because he was making a joke.

The perpetual-offense crowd imagined an insult anyway because the judge has been doing his job. Their fantasy is that a not guilty verdict can be overturned because a judge made a joke that offended them.

That’s not how appeals courts work. It’s impossible, or at least nearly so, to overturn a not guilty verdict regardless of what the judge does. Once a jury has been empaneled, the defendant is in jeopardy. That means he is in danger of being convicted. If he is acquitted after that point, he’s free. He can even go on talk shows telling people he committed the crime. Our Constitution doesn’t permit double jeopardy for the same crime.

The big exception is that you can be charged both federally and on the state level for the same crime. Will Biden’s corrupt DOJ go that far with Rittenhouse? My guess: no. Prosecutors don’t like to lose, and the DOJ’s prosecutors know this case is a loser.

I am not an expert on double jeopardy, so I don’t know if there are any other ways to retry someone who has been acquitted, but if there are, it’s an extremely rare thing.

Basically, you can appeal a conviction for a wide range of reasons, but acquittals are forever.

I wonder how offended they would be if the judge hadn’t chewed Binger out repeatedly. What if he had ruled for him consistently? Asian leftists would probably be posting smiley emojis all over the web.

When I talk to my friend Mike these days, I look for ways to interject, “Because you’re a racist,” into the conversation over and over. Because he’s a racist? No, because his son and daughter-in-law think he’s a racist for refusing to repost BLM insanity on Facebook for them, offending his numerous Facebook friends, actual friends, and business contacts. Mike will say something like, “I can’t believe what Biden said today,” and I’ll reply, “That’s because you’re a racist.”

It’s our way of singing on the way to the gallows. We know the left is insane, unforgiving, and unfair, so we know every person who isn’t on their side about everything is now considered racist, sexist, fattist, transphobic, homophobic, performative, ageist, carnivorous, classist, anti-vaxxist, pro-boomer, and anti-science. It’s our way of reminding each other that the opprobrium of the left is unrelated to guilt or innocence. It is in no way our fault, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Of course the judge is racist. We’re all racist. You’re racist. The prosecutor is racist. The squirrels in my yard are racist. The sky is racist. The only way to not be racist is to be black, and then you can do things like shooting white people on a train, while saying it’s because they’re white, and not be a racist. Colin Ferguson did that. You may think he’s a racist and murderer, but in fact, he is a protestor and social justice warrior. The official leftist position is that no black person can be racist.

Historically, logic has never had a strong foothold on Earth, and whatever purchase it had is gone. About 400 years ago, a bunch of primarily white people (so sorry, forgive me, unpardonable) ushered in what was known as the Age of Enlightenment. Great thinkers were able to promulgate the revolutionary idea that reason was important, and this led to all sorts of advancements in technology and other endeavors. The current millennium is a mirror image: the Age of Unenlightenment. We had reason, we didn’t like it, so we want the Dark Ages back. Enough of the White Age, I guess.

Even “enlightenment” is a racist term. We need endarkenment!

Leftists are excoriating the judge even as they fight for anti-Asian quotas at universities. Good gravy; that cognitive dissonance is something!

The new age of benign stupidity is being ushered in by Kyle Rittenhouse, an alleged white supremacist who only shoots white people. White men, I should say. Women aren’t white, because they’re oppressed. Even when they have penises.

WHERE ARE KURT VONNEGUT AND JOSEPH HELLER WHEN WE NEED THEM?

It appears safe to say that a majority of modern Americans love lies and hate the truth the way vampires hate garlic. When you become impervious to the truth, God gives up on you, and he lets you go to hell. Leftists are worse off than conservatives, but there are a lot of hip, godless conservatives who are also beyond help.

If you’re not gearing up for pre-Black-Friday looting, I suppose you should buy some food, gas, and ammunition and get ready to sit out the storm at home. Next week will probably be a bad time to show up at the grocery not looking wokened.

Listening for the Wrong Trump

This morning I woke up and turned Youtube on to see if there were any new videos from ministries I like. I didn’t see any. What I did see was a video from the 700 club, in which Paula White, the rich money-gospel preacher who got caught vacationing in Rome with Benny Hinn, pimped her new book.

It was disappointing to see the 700 Club associate itself with White, but it’s not the greatest ministry on Earth. You can’t expect too much. They do a lot of good work, but they also slip. The other day they showed Pat Robertson saying the Bible wasn’t perfect.

I started looking through my subscribed channels for updates, and I found myself unsubscribing to one after another. I just found myself doing it. It wasn’t planned. I got rid of a lot of junk. I believe I dumped all my news channels, except for one about natural disasters.

After watching a little bit of the Paula White video, I went around looking at videos of other people who help destroy the church. I left some extremely harsh, honest comments on videos featuring Kat Kerr, Ralph Messer, and Johnny Enlow. I’ve blogged about them before.

Messer is a fake rabbi. He’s also a fake Jew. He’s a gentile who underwent a dubious conversion process and then started promoting himself as a Jew who spoke for Jews and Israel.

A Christian accused him of offering him Hebrew lessons and refusing to provide them. Supposedly, Messer tried to discourage him later, and when Messer was challenged to read the language, he was only able to get through a few words, sounding the letters out like a kindergarten student.

Messer wrapped megachurch preacher Eddie Long in a torah scroll and claimed God had made Long a king. Long allowed a bunch of deluded people to lift him on their shoulders and carry him around. He got criticized so much, he eventually apologized. Then he was accused of multiple homosexual predations, and not long after, he became emaciated and died, causing people to assume he had had AIDS.

Messer also used a torah scroll to wrap White, claiming it gave her God’s protection. It didn’t protect her from having her involvement with Hinn exposed.

Sadly, President Trump let White advise her, along with some other wolves. I have speculated that Trump’s involvement with Satanic preachers helped cost him the election. The money preachers love to say they can make anyone successful, but in reality, the prosperity gospel curses you financially and at work. Looks like it even works on billionaires.

Messer has founded what some call a cult, and he has a Youtube channel where he turns off comments. Like a cockroach, he runs from light. He can’t turn off comments on other channels where he appears, however. It doesn’t look like his ministry is doing well. His videos tend to cluster below two thousand views, and some are in the hundreds.

Kerr is amazing. She’s an elderly woman who has dyed her hair bright pink. She claims she has been to heaven a number of times. She speaks in an ordinary voice until she starts prophesying, and then she bellows in a very imperious way, as though anyone who dares to doubt her is about to get a good smiting.

Didn’t Paul say women should be silent in church? Does a woman who thinks Donald Trump is president know more than Paul did?

She said Trump would win. Then he lost, and she said he would be reinstated. As far as I know, she is still pushing this insanity, and the amazing thing is that people are crawling to Youtube to lick her shoes and tell her how wonderful she is.

Enlow is another failed Trump prophet, and my understanding is that he is still highly critical of people who don’t believe Trump will be reinstated. He says Trump will be back in 2021, which only has two months to run. He pushes the Seven Mountains Mandate, which, unlike the Bible, holds that Christians will take over the world and fix it. Now, not after the tribulation.

It’s a little strange that Enlow pushes a doctrine named for seven mountains, when the Revelation says the Great Whore who will be punished is a city that sits on seven mountains.

To show how crazy Enlow has gone, assuming he’s not just making things up for fun, he has said he saw a vision of Trump on a throne in heaven, with a crown and scepter of gold. I thought Trump was a great president, but I don’t think God made a golden throne in heaven for a casino owner and persistent adulterer.

Enlow has said, “The Lord said, ‘Your nation will be known as before Trump and after Trump, the whole world will be known as before Trump, after Trump.'”

We are definitely A.T. now.

Enlow says God gives us a “Trump test.” It appears to work like this: if you support Trump and believe he won the election, God will bless you above other people, but if you don’t, you will “come under the judgment.”

I’ll provide a quotation.

If you go against God’s person that he’s using, his instrument, even if you think you have 100 percent devotion to God, it’s going to cost you.

More:

This is a line in the sand, this “Trump Test,” it’s been clearer than ever . . . and who’s being advanced and blessed? Ministries that are advancing in blessing and who I see in increased anointing and who are seeing more–they’re seeing more favor, they’re seeing more revelatory–are people who didn’t back off Trump.

Enlow says it’s not enough to devote yourself completely to Christ. He says God also requires you to back Trump.

So, to sum up, Trump sits in heaven with a golden crown and scepter, he won the election, he is going to be reinstated within the next 60 or so days, and if you don’t agree, God is going to punish you.

New Year’s Day is approaching fast, and Biden or Harris will be in the Oval Office. Johnny Enlow’s fans will have no problem with that, because something blinds them to reality.

People like to say that anyone who opposes God’s anointed will suffer, so I make a point of opposing frauds like this openly and repeatedly. God never anointed anyone to lie about presidential elections. Prophecy is God himself, speaking. The Bible says God is not a man, that he should lie.

I believe God blesses me for criticizing people like this. I don’t fear lightning bolts out of the blue because I said Kenneth Copeland or Joyce Meyer were wrong. I believe a person who honors a false prophet gets a false prophet’s reward. In the Bible, people who confronted false prophets pleased God.

How are we supposed to get to know God when we have to fight other purported Christians as well as our flesh, unbelievers, and evil spirits?

Jesus said a house divided against itself would not stand. We always assume he was talking about Satan’s house, and I’m sure he was, but the same thing is happening to the church. Which is also Satan’s house most of the time, now that I think about it. Christians are supposed to be unified by the Holy Spirit, but very few of us listen to him, so most of us are out of order, fighting each other and ourselves for the enemy.

Preachers are the very best soldiers Satan has. No one else comes close. They drive people away from God. They lead them into snares. They make them hate church. They steal their money. They even rape their children, and I don’t just mean Catholics. Protestants do it, too.

Right now, as I sit typing this, many, many preachers in America are teaching people Hinduism and African spirit worship. Yoga and meditation are Hindu practices, and the saints Catholics worship represent the Yoruba spirits that were worshiped in Egypt, Greece, and Rome under different names.

Ya just has to worship the fallen angel. Ya doesn’t have ta call him Ray.

Preachers are telling people Christianity is just a philosophy. They’re saying heaven and hell aren’t real. They’re denying the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. They’re saying God is in favor of sodomy.

They’re encouraging people to celebrate Halloween, which is Satanism’s biggest holiday. Only ignorant or stubborn Christians involve themselves with Halloween. It brings curses on them and their children. Why not celebrate Beltane while you’re at it?

No wonder the age of the church is ending. I don’t think we could have stood much more of it.

It’s amazing how deluded Christians are. The unhinged riot troops and wokiees of the left are clearly insane, but we seem not to notice the craziness in the church and on the right.

My friend Mike met a new lady, and yesterday they met. He sent me a photo. She was wearing a black top with the word “BOO!” on it. That’s going nowhere.

I am finally starting to have what I think is a helpful level of fear of God. I prayed for it for years. I couldn’t generate it on my own. It’s finally here. It helps me stay out of the minefields. At the same time, I find myself disengaging more and more from the world. I was surprised when I found myself dropping Youtube channels, but it felt very good.

I woke up in the middle of the night and started criticizing myself to God. I brought up some of the horrible deeds, words, and thoughts I wish I could cut out of my past with a scalpel. I can be forgiven, but I can never make them not have happened.

I thought about how evil I am and how evil the world is. As I so often do, I asked him to give me and my wife whatever we have to be given, and to remove whatever has to be taken away, in order to clean us up and prepare us for the rapture or death.

People say the world has seemed like it was ending before, and they think I’m wrong when I opine that the tribulation is close, but I can’t swallow what they say. We are in an unsustainable situation. Knowledge is giving us power we will never be able to control. On top of that, the three evil horsemen of Revelation 6 appear to be loose, globally. Has that ever happened before?

We are much more evil than we understand, and so is this world. If a person could see a thousandth of a percent of the horrors that are taking place right this second, he would probably be unable to do anything but lie in the fetal position with his hands over his eyes. We are complacent and numb, so we don’t perceive evil very well.

The surface of this planet isn’t hell, but it is a place of unimaginably great agony, humiliation, malice, and hopelessness. The fact that you’re feeling okay in your warm house right now doesn’t change that.

We are used to being used to evil, so now that human evil has been magnified greatly, we have grown more calluses to keep us from feeling bad about it. Many of us still have our coffee and slippers, we’re not in the hospital or prison, and we’re not broke, so life seems good. Meanwhile, the pillars that hold up the world have been eaten most of the way through.

I keep saying the rapture isn’t just a moment; it’s a process. If you’re still defending yourself and doing as you please, you won’t be ready when the moment comes. The people who are taken will have been preparing. They will already have been raptured away from toxic jobs, infectious people, and corrupting activities. The really blessed ones will have been removed from ungodly areas. God isn’t going to come to a Halloween party and rapture you out of your Slutty Witch costume just because you watch Joel Osteen.

Christianity is like coronavirus. The Middle East had it and recovered. Turkey was a hotspot, and it overcame the infection. Europe had it, spread it, and recovered. America had it for a while, and she is getting over it. Now parts of Africa have it. If the Lord waits, they’ll get over it, too. Jesus has to put in the sickle before everyone gets over it.

You Can’t Buy Charm Like This

My golden touch has worked again. I got myself banned from another gun forum.

My first ban was over at Rimfire Central. They banned me for spamming. Having no product or service to offer anyone, I did not spam, but when I contacted the poobahs to point out the mistake, they didn’t reply. I could have done the customary thing. I could have made up another name and registered from a new email address. I didn’t bother.

My second ban took place at The High Road, where I had the gall to suggest that Massad Ayoob, a gun writer and part-time small-town cop with zero legal education was wrong to run around giving the masses dangerous legal advice. Ayoob tells shooters to talk to the police and try to convince them they’re innocent. Unbelievably stupid suggestion. Infinite wrongness.

On that forum, Ayoob calls himself “Kleanbore,” which is a trademark that was used by Remington on ammunition boxes. There are a lot of ammunition-related words I would have picked before that one, but anyway, that’s his handle. If you want some legal advice that can put you on the end of an executioner’s needle, you can Google his posts.

Ayoob and the forum silverbacks are buds, so even though what I said was correct and had the potential to keep people out of prison, I got the boot. I had failed to kowtow to their pal. Ayoob has continued to post Youtube videos encouraging people to do exactly what law schools and nearly all defense attorneys beg clients NOT to do. I have to wonder if any of his fans have been imprisoned yet.

They won’t go to prison over anything that happened in high-school-sized Grantham, New Hampshire, where Ayoob probably spent his time writing parking tickets or manning a speed trap. No one ever gets shot there.

Now I’ve been booted from another forum for talking down to other members. Perhaps I am guilty.

I was writing about the Alec Baldwin killing, and some person who is not a lawyer was writing very irrational things. He was arguing with me, among others, and I was trying to be gentle. He eventually called other members of the forum, which would presumably include me, bigoted, hateful zealots. He said we posted “bigoted, hateful, zealot opinions” because we said we thought Baldwin was negligent. That’s when I told him his legal opinions were worthless and misguided, which was factually correct, if blunt. I also said I had graduated from law school, cum laude. That may be what got me in trouble.

Gun forums don’t attract a lot of educated people. I don’t know why that is, but if you go to a random gun forum, wade into a discussion, and say you’re a lawyer, you can pretty much count on not having any other lawyers join in. I know of one lawyer at The High Road, but cursory Googling suggests he’s a low-level attorney who handles disputes for insurance companies. I don’t see him getting tapped for the Supreme Court any time soon.

My dad, who was a truly superb lawyer, told me that insurance companies don’t hire the worst, and they don’t hire the best. They spend what they think is enough money to get people who are capable of giving them an acceptable return on investment. They settle a lot, so they don’t seem interested in hiring actual litigators who can win trials.

It may be that I offended people when I pointed out that I was educated. That wasn’t my plan. I was trying to make this guy understand that I was not talking out of my hat when I suggested I knew more than he did or that he was saying silly things.

Most people don’t argue with doctors, and they wouldn’t try to tell an engineer how to design a truss, but everyone feels entitled to offer ridiculous legal opinions. It’s amazing.

If I were going to brag about something, it wouldn’t be graduating cum laude from law school. I think it means you broke a 3.0, in a field that attracts people who can’t make it as pre-meds. Getting a law school B is like getting an A in an undergraduate course, but then getting an A in a typical undergraduate course is nothing to crow about.

As I’ve often said, I’m embarrassed that I had to go to law school, because I did it after failing to get a Ph.D. in physics. I got burned out and had to quit. Then I graduated cum laude instead of magna or summa. Admittedly, I spent very little time working, but still. I did not clothe myself with glory. I did a little bit better than okay in my last-resort career field.

I remember when I found out I got cum laude. I was on the phone with a friend, and he congratulated me. I had no idea what he was talking about.

On the forum, I also aired a general grievance about the unpleasantness of being a lawyer and engaging in discussions with people who are not lawyers. It’s stomach-churning. I probably should have kept that to myself. It may have looked like I was belittling everyone else on the forum.

In my defense, I have to say that if a doctor told me it was frustrating to argue with non-doctors, I would not be offended at all. I would understand. It must send a lot of doctors looking for Maalox. If I said stupid things to him about medical conditions or treatments, and he contradicted me and told me why I was wrong, I would not insult him. I have been in that position. If he said my erroneous medical opinions were worthless and misguided, after I had said something nasty about him for disagreeing with me, no fair person would fault him.

The funny thing is that I got banned right after I quit the forum. As I have said here, I am tired of reading the news because it sucks the joy out of me and makes me mad, and I was also tired of responding to astonishingly wrong opinions about manslaughter. I decided not to go back to the forum. Then I went back.

My grandfather had a Browning Hi-Power pistol. I inherited precisely zero of his many nice guns from his estate, and many were never accounted for. I have my suspicions, but my solution to the problem has been to forgive and go out and buy much better versions of the guns my grandfather had, and to shoot them much better, with much more knowledge, than anyone in the family. When I decided to get a Hi-Power, I learned that FN had stopped making them about half an hour earlier. They were no longer in gun stores, and people were asking way too much for guns they had managed to buy at the last minute.

Five days ago, without my knowledge, Springfield Armory released a new version of the Hi-Power. It’s called the SA-35. It’s far better than the old gun, and the price is great. Because I didn’t learn about it until today, of course, every single SA-35 on planet Earth has been bought, and people are trying to sell this $700 gun on Gunbroker for $1400. I can’t predict the future, but I’ll bet I won’t be able to get one for less than a grand, ever, and since I won’t be gouged, that would mean no SA-35 for me, period.

More or less the same thing happened to me, twice. Maybe next month I’ll find out FN is making Hi-Powers again, two days after gun stores run dry.

I felt an urge to visit the forum to see if anyone had written about the SA-35. That’s when I saw I had been banned.

I think this was the first time I actually felt bad about being banned. I could have been more polite, and I liked some of the members. On the other hand, I felt like God was helping me do what I had already decided to do.

I sent the forum police a note saying there were no hard feelings and that they should keep up the good work, meaning they should continue supporting our Second Amendment rights. I don’t expect a response. People who run forums tend to hide behind their keyboards.

It’s good that I’m no longer going over there to provoke myself, but it’s also good to be isolated from that crowd. There had been a number of posts about going to war with the left, and they didn’t seem to get much in the way of negative feedback. I don’t belong to the militia crowd. I think they’re extremely deluded, and they may boil over and cause a civil war that will fail to liberate the country while wasting a lot of blood.

There were also occasional posts that seemed racist, and they didn’t seem to get much opposition. The other day, a woman shot up her neighborhood driving off two or three black thieves, and one of the forum members who saw the video said something about a thief tripping over his lips. There is no plausible non-racist reason for making a crack like that.

I’m not exposing anyone by mentioning these things, because the contents of the forum are already available to everyone. You don’t have to be a member to read.

Maybe I should have quit the first time I saw an unsavory remark go unchallenged, but in this world, you will often find yourself in a large group of people that contains a few bad apples without being so corrupt you find it necessary to leave. If you maintain a zero-tolerance policy, you may end up more socially isolated than you really ought to be.

I went to church with black racists and anti-Semites, and I didn’t let them get to me. I was patient and gave them slack because I knew the social pressures they faced. I worked for a boss who was prejudiced against everyone, including people like me who were born in Kentucky, but I didn’t quit. I worked in a bar where the employees were unquestionably racists, but I needed the work. When I was in high school, some of my wealthy Jewish friends used the N-word without shame. One of my best Cuban friends in Miami sometimes made racist remarks after a few beers, and I took a long time to withdraw from him. Everyone who lives in Miami knows you can’t socialize with Cubans without hearing things like that sometimes. Life is full of social judgment calls.

The weird thing is that I had just gone back to the forum after seven months away. I had left because some people were annoying and others were saying the types of objectionable things I mention above. I had been back for two weeks when I quit and got ejected simultaneously.

I went back because I wanted advice on a potential gun purchase, and I thought the forum was the best source available without joining another forum and complicating my life. I thought I wouldn’t involve myself beyond hit-and-run posts about firearms. Then I saw posts that interested me, and I fell off the wagon.

I should have stuck to my plan. I should have ducked in and out, getting useful information without letting anything unpleasant stick to me. I may have offended some very nice people. I will never know, because the guy who bans people removed me before I could find anything out.

I think the Internet may be a prediction device. If you read blogs, Internet comments, forums, and so on, you can probably see how Americans will treat each other face to face in a few years, when they get brave enough. I’m not sure. In any case, it’s best to try not to get pulled along with the crowd. Anger and unforgiveness send people to hell, so I keep trying to limit what I expose myself to.

As for the Hi-Power or SA-35, I am not crazy enough about it to pay the cost, and I don’t have any practical use for it. They’re too big to carry, they hold fewer rounds than modern full-size guns, they weigh a lot, their triggers are not great, they have delicate finishes, and to me, the only purpose a Hi-Power serves is fun. If I could get one for anything close to MSRP, I would buy it, but that’s impossible, so I’ll let it go.

Oil Change for Car I Clearly Don’t Need

Is there any reason why we Americans shouldn’t go ahead and glue ourselves to our couches?

My car thinks I need an oil change, so it’s nagging me. I have 10,000-mile oil and a 20,000-mile filter, so I know the car is upset about nothing, but I decided to get oil and a filter today anyway. Did I go to the auto parts store? No.

I looked around the web to find a well-reviewed filter. Then I looked at Youtube reviews to confirm that Wal-Mart oil was just as good as the expensive stuff. Then I went to Wal-Mart’s site to see if they had the oil in stock. Then I went to an auto parts site to look for a filter and see if they could beat Wal-Mart on oil. Then I went back to Wal-Mart’s site, which reminded me I had bought a filter there last time. The same one that had the good reviews.

I put my cheap synthetic oil in my cart with my filter, just to keep track of them so I could do a screenshot before going to Wal-Mart. Then noticed the site was offering free curbside pickup. For a second, I felt ashamed, but I got over it somehow. I decided to check out with curbside pickup.

When I got to the checkout page, it said I was $3.49 below the free shipping threshold.

Free shipping? What would it cost me to drive to Wal-Mart? I thought a minute. About four bucks, during Joe Biden’s pre-tribulation oil panic. If I bought a product in the four-dollar range, it would be mostly free. Sort of.

I needed shampoo. I looked for it. I buy it in big jugs. One just went empty today. Wal-Mart said it cost more than $3.49.

BAM. Shampoo in cart.

Now Wal-Mart is going to bring me my oil, my filters, and the shampoo I expected to have to go get, all at Wal-Mart prices.

Is there some way I can get the UPS guy to bring it in the house and put it in my hand? Maybe he could change my oil. Perhaps he could apply pressure to my diaphragm and breathe for me, too.

It reminds me of the old joke about the neighbor who watched a rich lady move into the house next door. A mover came along, wheeling the lady’s son on a handtruck. The neighbor said, “Poor kid! Can’t he walk?” The lady said, “Yes, but thank God he doesn’t have to!”

I should buy enough oil for 10 more changes. If I don’t, prices will go up and I’ll probably spend the same amount on the next change. Assuming I can afford enough gas to get me through the next change interval.

Fauci Fell, and No One Noticed

I should have switched to the shotgun three years ago. I went out for an hour today and plugged two squirrels. Both kicked a little, but neither one was breathing when I got to it, so it looks like they died quick.

I blasted one, walked around the property, missed a good opportunity at a second, and blasted another. Both of the dead ones were near my house, which is great, because those are the ones that need to be killed. By the time I made my circuit of the property, the first one was gone. Hope it went to a hawk and not a coon, possum, or coyote.

I think from now on I’ll throw the dead ones on the workshop roof. That way, I’ll be sure they go to the birds.

It’s really nice not having to find a squirrel in a reticle or worry about how high he is off the ground. With a shotgun, you can get a shot off in a couple of seconds, and you get way more opportunities. It’s also hard to miss. I nailed one of today’s squirrels from about 30 yards, and I would say the other one might have been 40 yards off. It was so far off, I wasn’t sure it was a squirrel. I figured it was best to shoot it to be on the safe side. Worst-case scenario: I kill a stick.

I looked at the news when I got home. I checked to see if anyone was excited to find out that Fauci lied about gain of function research. It’s a surprisingly low-key story. Even Rand Paul, whom Grouchy Fauci slandered while lying to Congress, was not very vocal about it.

I’m not sure why gain of function research exists. My understanding is that they take nice, harmless viruses that could never bother human beings and “fix” them so they can make us sick. I assume there must be some purpose to it, but it sounds really stupid on the surface, especially after two years of a pandemic.

I wonder if Wikipedia can tell me.

Okay, it says gain of function research CAN be “research which could enable a pandemic-potential pathogen to replicate more quickly or cause more harm in humans or other closely-related mammals.”

You know, science can be amazing, in very bad ways unrelated to science itself. Science can be so obscure or so hard for the public and the government to understand that eggheads can be allowed to make incredibly dangerous decisions without legislators or executives finding out about it. I am guessing, but I’ll bet no one ever went to Donald Trump and said, “We’re making a SARS virus much more dangerous to humans, but we have a good reason, and we’re letting the Chinese handle security, so is that okay?”

We all know military people can’t be trusted with policy. The president can’t say, “Go fight a war the way you think best, and tell us when you’re done.” Wars are fought to achieve objectives that may be thwarted when the military does as it pleases. Similarly, it may be that we need to make certain scientists and engineers get permission from Congress or the White House before doing stupid things. Aren’t we doing that already? Apparently not, since it took two years just to get proof we were doing what Fauci said we were not doing. If there was any kind of transparent mechanism for sanctioning insane research, Trump could have called some underling and gotten the facts in 10 minutes.

The Wikipedia article is short, and it’s Wikipedia, and I am not a virologist, but the sense I get is that super-viruses can be useful in developing vaccines. That sounds great, but how are they helpful if you release them on the entire world, before creating the vaccines, through stupidity?

You take a virus which may or may not be a problem if it gets loose, and just to be safe, so you can make a vaccine, you turn it into a virus which will definitely cause a pandemic, and THEN, before you’re anywhere close to creating a vaccine or treatment, you let some butterfingers drop a vial in the lunchroom. And you put the CCP in charge of letting us know China dropped the ball.

Who made this possible? Somewhere, there are some men and women who signed the papers. Who are they? Why haven’t we dyed them green or something so everyone knows not to hire them again?

Isn’t China our enemy? Did I dream that? Isn’t there a country called Taiwan, which we are sworn to defend, which China is currently threatening to take by force? Didn’t China just launch a shocking hyper-sonic missile that made everyone in the Pentagon and at Raytheon soil their pants? Isn’t it bad form to pay your enemies to learn how to develop weaponizable viruses?

Or is this just me, being a deplorable, ivermectin-buzzed hick who doesn’t understand nuance?

It reminds me of the War Room scene where Dr. Strangelove commented unfavorably on the secret Soviet Doomsday Machine, which was intended to deter nuclear strikes by assuring that if one bomb went off, the planet would be cleared of all life. He said, “Yes, but the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost…if you keep it a secret!” Similarly, the whole point of creating a killer virus to save lives is lost if you put the Chinese in charge of containing it AND reporting any embarrassing accidental exposures.

I don’t know if the Chinese created the virus and let it escape, but it looks more likely every day. I mean, sure, the epidemic could have started right beside the research lab by chance. That could have happened. After centuries of Chinese wet markets with no pandemics, in which people bought and sold exactly the same revolting things they bought and sold in 2019. It’s totally possible.

Fauci is a real peach. If he doesn’t turn out to be the biggest public health villain since Josef Mengele, it will be a great testimony to the power of the lying liberal press. It’s bad enough that he lied, but he lied angrily, as though Rand Paul, who was telling the truth, was accusing him falsely of groping toddlers. Paul stood up for us, against the smug, lying press and against many of his peers. He blew the whistle for us, repeatedly. He didn’t quit when the world tried to slap him down. And Fauci shot the messenger in order to save face. Very CCP of him.

Lying to Congress is a crime, at least under certain circumstances. Is it only true when you’re sworn? I’m not familiar with the law. There must be some reason why Fauci hasn’t been indicted. I guess it would be necessary for Democrats to go along, so never mind.

So what else is he lying about? I guess we’ll never know, because he’s the one we question, and he lies. Isn’t there somebody else over there we could talk to?

The Washington Post says Fauci lied, so there is no point in commenting here, claiming he didn’t. When the Post gives up a leftist the right hates, you know it’s a lost cause.

Now they’re saying the definition of “fully vaccinated” is going to change. That’s fascinating from an apocalyptic perspective. They’re saying you may have to have three or more shots. It’s open-ended.

They told an older generation not to worry about Social Security numbers because they would never be used for anything but delivering government benefits. Remember how that worked out?

Nobody has my Social Security number. Nobody except every university I’ve attended, every bank and securities firm where I’ve had an account, every company that has given me insurance or a quote, every company that provided me with a credit card…I’m pretty sure my cell carrier has it. I should have it tattooed on my forehead.

The vaccines do not work well. I’m not saying they “don’t work.” I’m saying they “don’t work well.” We can no longer deny this. Public health officials are saying they may not be very helpful at all to a big, big percentage of the only large groups of individuals who are generally at risk of real problems. In other words, the only groups that were ever really endangered, as a whole, are the fat, the sick, and the old, and now they’re saying they’re also the only groups for which the vaccines work very poorly.

If you have any brains at all, you can see what that means.

A vaccine that has a 95% no-catch rate (to make up a flattering, unrealistic figure) for people who are extremely unlikely to become seriously ill anyway is not necessarily a good vaccine. The purpose of the vaccines is not to prevent the sniffles. No one cares about that. They were developed to prevent serious illness and death. When they came out, we were told THE SCIENCE had hit a home run. A very small percentage of the vaxxed could get something like a cold, but virtually no one would get very sick or die; that was the official line. Dying would be like winning Powerball. Now they’re saying the shots have a pretty high breakthrough rate AND the people who were already vulnerable have a VERY high breakthrough rate combined with high rates of serious disease and death.

So, if I understand things correctly, the vaccines have done a FAIR job of preventing the sniffles and a POOR job of preventing death and serious disease.

Or maybe they did better at the start, and now the disease is changing and defeating the shots. After all, we did see big drops in the stats after the shots came out. Something had to cause that, and we know it wasn’t masks or social distancing. We have a big collection of old graphs showing spikes coinciding with lockdowns, masks, and distancing.

They tell us different things every week. They’ve been wrong over and over. They don’t know what’s going on. Very often, they actually say so. My uninformed guesses may well be just as good as the best conclusions trained scientists can offer. I could be like the famous chimp who beat professional stock-pickers.

Now the Morlocks have decided I’m eligible for a booster. I was thinking I’d get it, because for all I know, it could be of some help, but now I don’t know. I used to think coronavirus was probably a one-time thing, but now I think I’ve had it twice, and I was vaccinated between episodes. I don’t know that another shot will help, I have every reason to believe future episodes will be mild, I have had dramatic improvements after using ivermectin from Tractor Supply, and I don’t feel good about going in for another round of a bizarre vaccination which has attracted warnings from intelligent, informed medical professionals.

To get back to the apocalypse, the redefinition of “fully vaccinated” opens the door to a future of increasing and unending oppression. As long as they can tell us we have to jump through new hoops to end the crisis, we will have to keep jumping, and they will have the authority to create nastier hoops. We will have to get used to life on the salmon ladder.

The first shot wasn’t the mark of the beast. The first booster isn’t the mark of the beast. Isolated mandates aren’t the mark. It has to be something big and global, and it can’t be temporary. What if the mark is something that shows you’re complying with a long-term program of repeated injections, not to mention fascist masking, isolation, AND censorship laws? Wow. That’s the Antichrist’s dream scenario.

Again, “fascist” is the correct term. It’s a value-neutral term. There are people who are proud of being fascists, and they wear hats and shirts that say “fascist” on them. Forcing people to take shots, making them stay in their houses, and deleting their publicly stated remarks about a disease are fascist measures.

I’ll bet it happens. I’ll bet the virus never cooperates. I’ll bet we get variants that really are more contagious than the flu, instead of much less contagious, like the ones we have now. Maybe we’ll get some variants that threaten healthy people. If that happens, kiss the outdoors goodbye, because Uncle Sam will nail your front door shut.

Maybe variants will get so bad, you’ll stand a substantial chance of dying if you’re not vaccinated regularly. Then you would have to obey the government pretty fastidiously, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the government denied unvaccinated people access to food and goods, claiming they were seditious and toxic and unlikely to live anyway.

Leftists love the word “seditious” now. It’s so strange. Maybe young people don’t know it, but they used to hate that word the way they hated Joe McCarthy. Liberal teachers sneered when they said it. How things change.

We could be looking at year after year of new shots and fascist curtailments of our liberty, with the mark of the beast provided as a reward for obedience. You obey, you eat. Just a guess, but it fits the way the disease and our governments have behaved so far.

I have about a dozen unopened tubes of ivermectin, just sitting around. Maybe I’ll buy a few dozen more. Who knows how many times I’ll get sick? Ivermectin may actually be helpful, and it could gain popularity and become hard to find. It may also be useful if I catch something else, and someone else might need it. Can’t hurt to stock up.

If I get really sick, I’ll try to get monoclonal antibodies. I have been told Biden won’t let anyone who has been hospitalized have them. Not sure what that’s all about. They say that if you get sick, you should absolutely refuse to be hospitalized until you’ve received antibodies. Is it a rumor? Is it true? Hope I don’t have to find out.

Every day the mark of the beast seems closer than I thought it would seem the night before. The world’s insanity isn’t just accelerating; it’s jerking.

Acceleration is a physics term. Jerk is sort of a physics term, but it’s used by engineers, not physicists. I never saw it until after I had become a physicist and then quit.

Acceleration is velocity’s rate of change. If a car is doing 10 mph now and 20 mph in 10 seconds, it’s accelerating at 10 mph per second. Jerk is acceleration’s rate of change. If a car is doing 10 now, 20 in 10 seconds, and 300 in 20 seconds, it’s jerking. I guess. Not sure what the present participle is, in engineering. I’m not an engineer. Anyway, the acceleration isn’t constant. It increases with time. Jerk can be constant. I’m sure it’s not, in my example. I would have to do a calculation to come up with a constant jerk. Wait…no, I wouldn’t. Jerk can increase, and its increase can increase, and so on. I’m digressing. Help me stop.

Think of a magnet, moving toward another magnet. It will accelerate slowly, then faster, and then it will bang into the other magnet so fast you can’t see it happen. That’s jerk. Gravity does the same thing, but we can’t see it because we’re all at the same distance from the center of the earth. Where we are, gravity seems constant. If you were to fly toward a black hole, the change would be obvious. Don’t do that, though.

Anyway, the world’s insanity isn’t just increasing, and the rate of increase isn’t just increasing; the rate of the increase of the increase is increasing. I expect things to be a certain way in a few days, based on the way things have been getting worse over the last month, but they will probably be worse than I expect.

Apocalyptic jerk is why I think the rapture is coming very soon. People will try to predict the end based on a relatively smooth timeline, but things aren’t changing smoothly. It shouldn’t surprise Christians. Jesus said he would come at a time when we thought not.

Wake me Up When They Start Injecting Faces

Today I saw people on Youtube talking about the Satanic nature of the coronavirus vaccines. They are convinced vaccination is the mark of the beast. It’s pretty obviously not. Where does the delusion come from?

The Bible says the beast–the man called the Antichrist–will appear. Then the world gets the mark. You can’t have the mark of the beast with no beast. The Bible says people will receive the mark in their foreheads or right arms. I got vaccinated in my left arm. The shots don’t leave marks, so how can they be marks? Science has no way of telling whether you’ve had the shot, so how can your grocery store or Home Depot tell if you’ve had it when they’re deciding whom to allow to shop? You could display your vaccine card, but it’s not a mark.

People are worried that vaccines somehow let the government track their movements electronically. Oddly, some of them use smartphones to air this concern. If you have a smartphone, Joe Biden already knows where you are. What about the sensors and cameras that line our streets? What about the doorbell and security cameras that are connected to the web? What about the facial recognition software that knows when you go to the mall or a concert?

Wait…are there still concerts?

The vaccinations are not the mark of the beast. Accept it. The present is bad enough without making problems up.

I saw a lady saying she had a dream about people who got the shot. She saw a Spirit-led friend who had gotten it. The friend said she thought God had shown her it was okay. Then she attacked her friend who was dreaming the dream. This dream is supposed to be evidence that the shots are transforming people into enemies of God.

Not every dream is from God. I once dreamed I had a big harem of teenaged girls. God didn’t send that. Sounds more Muslim than Christian.

I think human beings will end up with global passes, and the pass will be the mark. It makes more sense. People are already using vaccination status to prevent others from traveling, buying, and working. If the pandemic gets bad enough, there will suddenly be a “need” for a standardized pass used the world over. For the children, as always. People who push it will wrap themselves in clouds of virtue, and they will shame everyone who disagrees, just as virus fascists do right now.

“Virus fascist” is an accurate term. Fascism is authoritarianism, and regardless of whether draconian measures are right or not, they are authoritarian.

Maybe the aversion to the shots comes from God. The shots aren’t the beast’s marks, but they are being used to train us so we will welcome the mark. Maybe God is using fear of vaccination to prepare people to resist the mark when it comes.

This morning, I was thinking about the causes of the crisis the world is enduring. I found myself trying to list them. Then I scolded myself. When God judges nations, the causes are always the same. Idolatry, sexual perversion, lying, cruelty, and selfishness.

There is very strong evidence that the pandemic’s local severity is tied closely to governmental promotion of sexual perversion. I keep watching Australia and New Zealand, because they seem like test cases. They have moved heaven and earth, imposing unbearable, unsustainable measures to keep covid out. They’re also perversion havens. If things go well in these countries, it will seem to indicate that perversion is not really a big factor in the global crisis.

Today I checked both countries, and numbers are going up. In Australia, the genie really seems to be out of the bottle. The graph looks like the Burj Khalifa. New Zealand also has a very sharp spike, but in absolute terms, it’s tiny. I’m going to keep watching.

The UK, which is arguably the place where effeminacy first went mainstream among influential post-Christian Western men, is doing badly in spite of harsh government responses. They are planning on cracking down again, even after vaccinating a whole bunch of people. Russia is also going back into panic mode.

Why aren’t the vaccines working better? The UK looks like it’s doing worse than it did last year, when it did very badly indeed. The peaks aren’t as high, but they are very high, and they are broad. How can that happen, in a nation which is a leading oppressor and vaccinator? The vaccination rate is 68%. Even if the vaccines aren’t great, shouldn’t they cut the infection numbers by maybe 50%? Where is the decrease? Is the current crisis what covid looks like WITH a big decrease?

Is the delta variant the problem? Last year they told us covid was incredibly contagious, which appears to have been a huge exaggeration, because (if you believe official figures) it spread much more slowly than a typical flu. Maybe things would have been much, much worse had we had the delta variant from the start. I can only guess.

As for official figures, the CDC says the flu hits one billion people in a typical year, and we are told the two-year-old covid pandemic still hasn’t hit 250 million. Believe what you will. Everyone else does.

Over 10% of UK residents have been diagnosed with covid, so the actual figure must be a lot higher, but it’s not slowing down. Shots and recoveries aren’t getting the job done. How can that happen?

From a Biblical perspective, things don’t look good at all. The Bible predicts pestilence before the end, and it says the tribulation will affect the whole world. I didn’t realize until a few days ago that there had only been one other pandemic in history. I mean real pandemics, not typical flu epidemics, the plague, syphilis, the common cold, or AIDS. A real pandemic has to hit every nation, it has to cause big problems, it has to happen within a short time, and it can’t be something you have to work hard to catch.

The Spanish flu and coronavirus are the only real pandemics history has recorded, but only coronavirus is accompanied by other problems predicted in the Revelation.

I still expect things to get worse. Right now, my feeling is that coronavirus will continue to defy vaccines and countermeasures, and that we will see numbers a lot worse than the ones we have seen so far. I think it will never go away until Jesus returns to rule.

My guess, which is just a guess, is that the world will get used to seeing pundits on TV, saying they have no idea why coronavirus keeps beating science.

If this happens, hostility between pro-vaxxers and anti-vaxxers will get worse, contributing to another of the three main plagues of the apocalypse: hatred.

I saw something amazing on Youtube. About a month ago, there was a vaccine-mandate protest in France. People were walking around holding signs and making noise. Suddenly, a large gang of men armed with long poles dashed out into the frame and started beating the protestors. They were not cops. They were not soldiers. Some ordinary French citizens were so afraid of death and so furious at people who didn’t want a shot, they beat them with deadly weapons, knowing they would be filmed.

I can understand governments beating people, because that’s what they do. Secular government is a curse, and it manifests in government brutality. But why would private citizens get so enraged about a vaccination that they would organize, buy big sticks, and try to inflict serious, permanent injuries on strangers who were simply standing around complaining?

You can blind someone with a blow from a stick. You can emasculate and cripple people. You can destroy hearing. You can destroy mental faculties and motor functions. Hitting people with sticks is not a small aggression. It’s not like throwing pies.

It’s remarkable that NBC posted the stick video. Usually, you have to look for a fringe channel to learn about the mandate crisis.

The MSM appears to be working to hide mandate protests. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. Very large crowds have assembled all over the planet, and to watch the news, you would have no idea it was happening. You would think Fox would be breaking the picket line, but it’s not. Fox is headquartered in New York, where people fear death and think Christianity is funny. Fox’s people aren’t conceited liberal elites, but they’re still conceited elites.

It’s as though the godless media elites in New York, Los Angeles, and London had a conference call and decided mandates were too important to cover fairly. I don’t think that happened, but things wouldn’t look any different if it had.

Youtube started pushing a channel on my feed. It was full of protests. A day or two ago, it vanished. I had to search for it. When you search for “coronavirus protest,” Youtube’s search suggests topics it should know you’re not looking for. When it finally delivers, it seems to do so grudgingly, and it provides videos that are weeks or months old, ignoring the protests that are happening right now. Can that possibly be coincidence? It sure looks like some Pokemon-playing millennial who knows better than we do nudged the algorithm.

It’s very unfortunate that the most misguided, arrogant, unempathetic people on earth think they know better than Christians and have power to rule society and control the flow of information.

I am concerned about myself. I don’t think I will ever experience lack again, and I don’t believe I will die from a disease or be murdered in a riot or for my cans of milk and corned beef. I am concerned that I’m not sufficiently sanctified. There are things about myself that I still need to correct, and I have not taken them seriously enough. Time will run out on me if I don’t watch it.

I keep working to stop ridiculing people. I am trying to stamp out what remains of the habit of heartless humor. I’m trying to stop getting angry about things. I have to let go of role models who are either in hell or on the way there. Even men my age have role models, whether they admit it or not.

I believe holding doors open for ungodly influences allows spirits to come in and drive me to sin, and sin can prevent people from being saved or raptured. I don’t want to be here the day after the rapture, waiting for strangers to kill me for my rice and flour, or just for being white or having a nice house.

When your ship gets torpedoed and you’re trying to stay afloat until you’re rescued, you throw the things that make you sink overboard. It’s that simple. When the horn blows, I want out of this place.

This Can’t be Reality

I hate to say I told you so, but…well, actually I enjoy it. I have to work on that. Anyway, guess what’s happening on Facebook?

My friend Mike is a member, and he says Facebook now throttles things he posts and sends messages saying, more or less, that he’s publishing fake news. If he puts up something Facebook doesn’t like, such as a link to a political item, he can see it on his page, but no one who follows him can see it.

Mind you, this is a regular person. He’s not a public figure.

I wonder if his leftist son and daughter-in-law have been reporting him.

He commented on a post about Biden appearing to fall asleep, and Facebook didn’t like what he said, so it sent him a complaint. It turned out he was saying the opposite of what Facebook said he was, but the bot misunderstood, and the bot is judge, jury, and jailer, so its decisions are final.

I’m doing my best to stay out front on the paranoid fringe, but Facebook is always one or two steps ahead of me. They’re even crazier than I claim they are.

I talked to blogger Ed Bonderenka about this tonight, and he says it hasn’t happened to him. My guess is that Mike is getting nailed because he’s popular. He has a ton of fake Facebook friends. Maybe the level of oppression he’s getting is only for people above a certain level of popularity. I’m just guessing.

I feel like I could walk outside and shake hands with Jesus right now. Isn’t he there yet? How long are we going to have to wait? How insane will things get?

I have been slightly ill, but feel better every day. I feel joy inside me, like steam in a locomotive boiler. For the second day in a row, I slung a .22 over my shoulder and walked up and down the property twice. Today it was cool, so it was nicer than yesterday. I wish I could get out and walk to Canada. Better yet, I wish I could sprout wings and fly. I’d do it.

I was so full of joy today, I was walking around the house making loud noises, annoying Marvin. Coronavirus? Shortages? Civil war? I DON’T CARE! I feel great. Please God, let it continue until you extract me from this place. Take me out before trashy, low-IQ leftists who have been in put of charge of the world come to my beautiful farm and tell me they’re taking it and putting me in a government trailer. Don’t let them do me the way they did the Cubans, Russians, Cambodians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and Chinese.

Come get me and THEN let them overrun the place. Give them my money, my tools, all my guns, and my ammunition. Let them wreck it with their dirty, unappreciative, uncomprehending, clumsy looter paws while my wife and I celebrate with you, far away. If they want to use the guns to murder each other, so be it. Just let it happen after we’re gone.

How did we ever get the idea that it was okay for a social media site run by ninnies to censor ANYTHING other than murder threats and pedophilia groups? What right do they have to delete things people say about vaccines and voting machines? It’s not their place. The people who run these companies are nobodies. No one elected them. God didn’t anoint them. They’re a bunch of mush-brained urban kids who hate everything good.

Man, it’s good not to be on Facebook. It will be even better to be off this planet. Lord, just keep me out in the sticks on the sidelines until I get to leave. Don’t let me be here when they show up so I have to bend the knee to a bunch of brainless, sociopathic brats with pink hair and tattoo sleeves.

I find Mike’s sad stories encouraging. If things are really this weird, surely we can’t have long to wait.

I can’t believe how blessed I am. I could be living in San Francisco right now, being ordered around and insulted by every imaginable type of punk and pervert! It would be better to boil in oil. Thank you, God.

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not.

Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

I Volunteer to Bury Tanzania’s Covid Dead in my Side Yard

Today I was talking to Rhodah about covid, and I looked at some nations in Africa. You won’t believe it.

Our hard-left press admits African nations have done somewhat better than other countries, but they are lying by underemphasis. Sub-Saharan Africa, apart from gay-friendly South Africa and two smaller nations, has had protection which is clearly miraculous. It is nothing short of astonishing.

Zambia has Florida’s population, and Zambia has no epidemic now. It never had much of one.

Malawi has about the same population, and they have never averaged more than 1000 cases per day on a 7-day basis. They currently have no epidemic.

Tanzania has THREE TIMES the population of Florida. Total known cases since the pandemic started: 1367. That is not a typo. Their 7-day average topped out at 73. Total known deaths: 50.

The president of Tanzania attracted leftist ridicule by downplaying coronavirus, and he died of old age and heart problems. Leftists claimed he had covid.

Where was he supposed to catch it, in a country where the known sick never amounted to more than one in a million people?

He declared three days of prayer and said it would end coronavirus. Tanzania prayed, and coronavirus ended. Leftist response: ridicule.

Other African nations had official days of prayer. America, not so much.

Zimbabwe has 15 million people and a total of around 4700 dead. There is no more epidemic there.

Botswana has not done well. It has 2.4 million people and a total of about 2400 dead, which is much higher than neighboring countries on a per-100000 basis. Botswana has had legal homosexual marriage since 2019. The right to pretend to change gender is in the constitution.

Mozambique has about 1.5 times the population of Florida, and coronavirus has barely touched it. The epidemic is over, and the maximal 7-day average was under 2,000. Total deaths number under 2,000. Mozambique has decriminalized homosexuality, but it does not recognize homosexual relationships of any kind.

Namibia is in pretty much the same boat as Botswana. Homosexuality is not criminalized there, and homosexual relationships are tolerated even if they are not granted legal recognition.

Angola has done extremely well. It does not recognize same-sex relationships, but it also does not criminalize homosexuality.

Uganda is a haven from covid, and it is very hard on homosexuality. The same goes for Kenya. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been largely spared, and it does not recognize homosexual relationships or provide special protection from discrimination.

Which country has had the worst epidemic? The rich, advanced, masked, locked-down, socially distanced United States, far and away. Which country does more than any other to promote homosexuality internally and abroad, using coercion freely? The United States. We routinely coerce poor countries to go along in order to get needed aid.

Brazil got wiped out by coronavirus, and it is considered a model country by deviant activists. China released coronavirus on the world, but things have gone astoundingly well there. Wisconsin has had 9 times as many cases as China, which has about 250 times Wisconsin’s population. China discourages sexual aberrations. It also persecutes Christians and commits all sorts of atrocities, but somehow, things have gone well in China. Maybe it’s because America is being judged, and China is our biggest enemy.

India is staggering under its coronavirus burden. In 2019, India took steps to give legal recognition to people who think they have changed gender.

Russia has done fairly badly, but much better than the USA. Russia also gives recognition to so-called transgender people. Russia does not recognize same-sex marriage. Russia has a long history of persecuting Jews, and it doesn’t have a great relationship with Israel. Russia forces missionaries to accept state-designed training.

It’s surprising how strong the correlations are. It’s true that some Muslim countries have been hit hard, and they are not known for pro-sexual-confusion laws. On the other hand, they are trying to kill off the Jews, and they imprison, torture, and murder Christians. Also, in some Muslim countries, homosexual relationships, including those involving young children, are unofficially sanctioned.

Does all this mean coronavirus is a reward for legitimizing sexual perversion? I doubt it’s as simple as that. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed largely because of sexual sin, but God also hated their cruelty, dishonesty and selfishness. It looks like perversion may be the major factor in determining how a country fares during the pandemic, but I doubt other sins help.

We should be hearing about the African miracle every single day on the news. Researchers should be swarming Africa, trying to figure out why huge populations were essentially unaffected. The Africans who are enjoying special safety aren’t making much use of masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and vaccines, yet our benighted experts insist–screech–that these discredited measures are our only hope. No. We need whatever Africa has. We need to find out what it is, and we need to apply it here.

Westerners are literally beating each other up, firing each other, fining each other, and ostracizing each other because some people won’t adopt measures that clearly do not work well. Meanwhile, we are ignoring hundreds of millions of people who are doing nearly nothing to stop covid, yet who are safe from infection anyway.

How is that good science?

I’m smiling as I type this. I can’t help it. I feel like I’m watching two groups of toddlers fighting over some nonsensical question. Both groups think they’re right, and both are way off, so they’re not accomplishing anything except alienation and bruises.

“The plague is caused by evil smells.” “No, the Jews are poisoning the wells!” “Evil smells!” “Jews!” “EVIL SMELLS!” “JEWS!” “EVIL SMELLS, YOU MORONS! DON’T YOU BELIEVE THE SCIENCE??”

Colin Powell is dead. He had coronavirus. He was vaccinated. That’s really something. It was only a couple of months ago that doctors in interviews were telling us severe symptoms were impossible for vaccinated people. They were so confident, they were telling us it simply could not happen. I’m sure that if they were pressed, they would have admitted they expected a few incredibly rare exceptions, but they sometimes used words like “impossible” or their equivalents because they believed so strongly in the shots. Doctors don’t like to use absolutes because of lawyers, but they did it.

They’re lying about it now on the web, because people have the temerity to criticize our weak vaccines in the aftermath of the death of one of the left’s patron saints. They’re saying doctors never said the vaccines could be counted on to prevent death, but they did.

Here is this week’s official assessment of the shots’ capabilities, as I have seen it presented by the establishment: the shots work very well to protect people who don’t need them. In other words, they are saying they don’t work on the fat, the sick, and the old, so they don’t help the vast majority of people who actually need special protection. The implication seems to be that they do a great job for the young, the thin, and the healthy, who rarely get very sick with or without shots.

If you’re not in a high-risk group, and you get a shot and don’t get very sick, how do we know the shot did anything? You’re getting what was already the most likely result.

Incidentally, it’s a bit sickening to see how everyone is praising Powell. Leftists used to excoriate him because he delivered the UN “smoking gun” speech that motivated the world to turn against Saddam Hussein. Leftists lied, saying Powell lied, even though he was relaying information that came from George Tenet, a Democrat holdover of questionable competence.

Later in his career, the uninspiring and classless Powell turned on the people who made him a success, stabbing George Bush in the back and abandoning the GOP. He admitted he cast a racist vote for Obama, simply because Obama was black. These moves made the alleged smoking-gun liar a huge hero to leftists, and so he remains. What are a few hundred thousand alleged war crimes among friends?

George Bush, whatever his failings may be, is a Boston Brahmin raised to be an aristocrat, so he has been very gracious about Powell’s death. He’s not complaining about the way Powell betrayed him and climbed up his back. Not everyone is taking the high road, though. Al Jazeera now features remarks from people who are rejoicing over Powell’s exit, calling him a liar who brought war.

Let’s get back to the problems with the vaccines. Now 43% of the new dead in the UK are vaccinated, and that does not include survivors who got very sick. Their numbers have to be much greater. Other countries are surely having similar results. The shots just aren’t that good.

The shot I got is said to be 67% effective. What does that even mean? Journalists are generally unintelligent and poorly educated, so when they write about THE SCIENCE in ways that make no sense, they don’t even realize it.

Maybe it means that if I walk into a typical cloud of viruses, I will be able to resist 67% of the ones I am likely to encounter during that exposure, but the rest will be strains I can’t fight. Maybe it means there is a 1/3 chance I will get sick every time I’m exposed, regardless of the strain. Maybe it means they only expect me to be exposed to one strain at a time, and they think the chance that I will be exposed to one I can’t defeat is 1/3.

I don’t know what it means, and neither do journalists. I know 67% is a sorry figure for a vaccine I’m depending on to prevent death or a bilateral lung transplant. It’s okay to say it’s a sorry figure. It’s important to say it. It’s not blasphemy. The truth is a good thing, except when you tell your wife she looks fat.

Powell had some sort of cancer, and he was being treated. Nonetheless, his doctors say coronavirus complications killed him. Does that mean he had mild symptoms, but he was so weak, they proved fatal? Does it mean he had severe symptoms and the cancer was irrelevant? We don’t know. If you get the sniffles and then die in a train wreck, they say your death was covid-related. It means nearly nothing.

This is a day of conflict for leftists. On the one hand, they really want to say Powell died from coronavirus, because virtually no real celebrities have died, and it’s one of the mysteries of the pandemic. It makes it look like the pandemic is a lie. It has been almost two years, and the biggest dead celebrities we have apart from Powell are Charlie Pride, Roy Horn, and Herman Cain. On the other, they don’t want to say a vaccinated person died, even though it happens every day.

Leftists want to say a major figure died for the same reason they tried to tell us heterosexual men and women who slept with them died from AIDS, which has never been true. It has always been a plague for homosexual men, the women they fool, and a few transfusion recipients and junkies. Leftists needed ordinary people to see AIDS as a threat to them, even though it wasn’t, in order to generate fear and funding. Leftists need the public to see coronavirus as something that kills people they know, so they can persuade people to obey and take the recommended measures.

AIDS is primarily a disease of homosexual men because their actions rip up anuses, and viruses like open wounds. It’s virtually impossible to get it from a woman because vaginas, which were designed for sex, don’t injure penises. On the other hand, penises sometimes injure vaginas, so sick homosexual men can infect women, although it’s less common than anal transmission. You can look that up on medical websites. It didn’t come from QAnon.

It’s weird how coronavirus has spared the famous. It is inexplicable. Many famous people are poor and can’t isolate themselves or get special care, but somehow, celebrities aren’t dying very often. Real celebrities, I mean, not people who starred in one episode of Columbo. Even former child stars who live in transient hotels aren’t dying.

Leftists are conflicted all the time because they dislike the truth. They don’t say, “What’s the truth? Let’s find out and tell it.” They say, “What can we say to make the world hate God and capitalism and love Karl Marx and homosexuality more?” It’s usually easy to determine the truth and pass it on. Deciding which lie you want to tell and predicting all the potential responses you will get from the many divided, combative factions of leftism are way harder.

Back during the smug days, doctors didn’t say, “Death from coronavirus is impossible for vaccinated people unless they’re old or unhealthy.” They left that last part out. Now they’re saying they never said the vaccines would definitely prevent death, yet leftists are all over Twitter reviling people…for saying vaccines won’t definitely prevent death.

In Massachusetts, which should be typical, almost a third of the breakthrough deaths had no underlying conditions. Hmm. Is it okay to say that? Do you feel triggered?

Our laws used to say you could say anything that was true, without putting other people in physical danger, violating a court order, defrauding others, advocating the overthrow of the government, or revealing state secrets, with no fear of punishment. Now our nation is full of true idiots who think triggeration, by itself, is proof a criminal act has transpired.

I got vaccinated. I think there is a very good chance it will keep me from getting very sick. I know there is a somewhat smaller, but still very big, chance it won’t help at all, and that it may not prevent me from getting sick or dying. This is what the truth looks like. If it scares you, it may be because you haven’t seen the truth in a long time. You may no longer be accustomed to it.

Pestilence is caused by sin, not eating bats. The only way to get a pestilence to die prematurely is to pray and repent, openly. I think coronavirus will continue to frustrate modern medicine until God says we’ve had enough. I also think the press and the world’s governments will ignore Africa’s obvious miracle until the end of time.
