Hard to summarize the week in doom. There is no consistency or coherence to anything. We have experts and the media telling us to go out and protest and not worry about COVID, while telling us that Trump is going to hold rallies during which a second wave will strike us all dead. Many on the right are surrendering to the fear once more, even as deaths drop, drop, drop.
The Mayor of Seattle and Governor of Washington called Trump’s bluff about ending the insurrection, which everybody on the left is pretending isn’t happening. The pols obviously believe they’ll be rewarded when Trump is disposed.
The terrorists have occupied many residences, which must be thoroughly ransacked by now. Crimes for which they will be rewarded, because they assist the progs dismantle society. I wonder how many lie murdered in the zone? We’ll likely never learn, as the first Item proves.
Funny how the politicians in charge believe they have everything under control. The left never, ever learns the lesson that revolutions always eat their own first. They can’t learn it because it violates one of their sacred tenets, which is the perfectibility of man. This time will be different.
Speaking of the insurrection, help me solve this debate I’m having with the BB.
I say that the CHAZites will soon turn to cannibalism. She insists no, they’re vegans. But I maintain that under the rules one vegan can certainly eat another. It’s all vegan.
The BB came back with a zinger I hadn’t anticipated. The DNA of the vegans, given their strict plant-based diet, is probably by this time patented by Monsanto. Thus Monsanto could sue the cannibalis to pay license fees.
What do you say?

Winner, Most Brazen Media Lie Thursday
If you've been getting your news from right-wing media, you probably think armed militant Antifa activists have seized a section of Seattle.
But the mayor's office tells me, "City officials have not interacted with 'armed antifa militants' at this site."https://t.co/ctZiwNNCx6

Usually they wait until after the event to start gaslighting. Now a good segment of the nation will believe nothing is going on in Seattle.
Facts and reason are long past being useful. Here’s a guy confronting BLMers with black crime stats. It didn’t go well.

In Minneapolis, Somali-Americans Find Unwelcome Echoes of Strife at Home
Thousands left political chaos, violence and danger in Somalia. Now, many are surprised and alarmed at the dangers and distress they’re seeing in their new home.
Somali refugees like Mr. Yusuf, facing war and conflict at home, have been emigrating to the United States in large numbers since the 1990s and the country is home to about 7 percent of the Somali diaspora. Minnesota is home to more than 57,000 Somalis, the largest concentration in the country.
Somalia collapsed into anarchy after the military regime led by Mohammed Siad Barre was overturned in 1991. Rival warlords vying for power threw the country into a civil war, and a centralized, unified government struggled to form, even with external aid.
The magic dirt didn’t work. The Somalians are behaving like Somalians.
The first major company to announce they are leaving Minneapolis will be branded “racist”, and its CEO will be made to publicly wash the feet of some black people.

Frustration and Fury as Rand Paul Holds Up Anti-Lynching Bill in Senate
It passed the House this year by a vote of 410 to 4, and has the backing of 99 senators, who have urged support for belated federal recognition of a crime that once terrorized black Americans…
Mr. Paul argued that the lynching bill was sloppily written and could lead to yet another injustice — excessive sentencing for minor infractions — unless it was revised.
“This bill would cheapen the meaning of lynching by defining it so broadly as to include a minor bruise or abrasion,” he said. “Our national history of racial terrorism demands more seriousness of us than that.”
In the old days, lynching was classified as murder, which in areas outside mostly peaceful George Floyd protests was illegal. An anti-murder bill is therefore superfluous.
It’s clear this bill would evolve to make illegal any action interpreted by non-whites as “hurtful.” God bless Paul for staying strong.

Horror as child abuse dungeon where ‘unimaginable’ acts filmed found in Germany
Police have arrested 11 people after uncovering a child abuse ring in Germany.
Investigators found footage of two boys, aged 10 and five, being ‘brutally’ raped by four men during a search of a summer house in Munster, Germany.
It is believed the children were drugged before being abused for hours…
The main suspect, a 27-year-old IT technician, has been remanded in custody along with six others, including his 45-year-old mother who reportedly owned the summer house…
At least three children, aged five, 10 and 12, were allegedly abused between November 2018 and May 2019…
The IT technician allegedly spoke to paedophiles on the ‘dark web’, offering the youngsters to them for abuse.
I do not understand these Pride month celebrations at all. Speaking of Pride…

‘Necrophilia is harmless’: Australian Greens candidate called for sex with corpses to be legalised (asterisks original)
In the article, which was written for a student newspaper in 2013, Raue wrote: “If a person gives permission for their corpse to be used for sex, and the family has no issue with it, then what’s the harm? F*** it.”
In the piece, he said necrophilia was one of the “most taboo sexualities in almost every society”, believing it should be legalised.
Regular readers will recall we predicted this, and predicted it often. It’s just another “orientation” in which to take Pride.

Not only is this sinister, as some have been saying, but it’s idiotic. If you got tested yesterday and you’re clear, and even if the test is perfect, you can get the damned bug TODAY.
You have to be tested continuously to “prove” disease status! Morons and liars are in charge of us.

Beshear says state will put resources into making sure all black residents have health insurance
“We are gonna begin an effort to cover 100 percent of our individuals in our black and African-American communities,” the governor said. “We’re gonna be putting dollars behind it.”
Beshear said his goal is for every black Kentuckian to get “signed up for some form of coverage.”
This is an example of the “systemic racism” we hear so much about. Whites won’t get the gibs, but blacks will.

The Malibu Police Department reportedly has an increased police presence outside Klein’s home after multiple threats, which were made after a student, Emilia Martinez, posted an email exchange online…
The students wrote that, in light of recent ‘traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter’.
Klein refused to cancel final exams, even quoting secular saint Martin Luther King, and told students, in effect, to stick to what they had promised to do. So he was fired—and then the death threats started. College is dead.

“Many on the right are surrendering to the fear once more” The right is as stupid and idiotic as the left. There is no adult in the room and we’re toast.
“Hi, we are still closed, but I was up there the other night with my family right before the shooting and it was very peaceful.” Commenting on CHAZ from Twitter If you can read this and not believe it’s over, there is no hope for you any more than there is for this country. You’ll make a great little subject under the Marxist, violent regime. For as long as you last.
As for cannibalism and Monsanto, someone’s been smoking too much weed. It’s organic weed, of course.
Forget black crime states. Confront BLM with a large gun, a taser and 50 of your closest friends with similar instruments of explanation. THIS they will understand.
Same thing happened in Sweden. It became the same hell the refugees left. Again, they deserve it. Stupidity costs. I do feel sorry for those who left communist nations and came to America to be grown ups, but so many infantile, violent losers are coming in because that’s WHAT AMERICANS WANT. (Yes, they do. They do nothing to stop it and haven’t since Reagan. That lasted about a week…..)
The lynching bill may actually encourage lynching. I’m willing to have them pass it and see if that happens. All for science, of course.
I don’t call anyone but the police and coroner if my house get broken into. Since the police can’t get here for at least half an hour, the coroner will be necessary.
Of course, the elite have their own POLICE (yes, those are police, not friends with guns that follow them around), so the privileged are actually selfish, horrible people. Black ones, white ones, most elites are horrible people.
Get used to sexual abuse. It’s what the LGBTXXX crowd wanted all along. Rape, torture. That WAS and IS the goal. No rules, just sadism all the time.
College is NOT dead. Stupid rich people will continue sending their kids there, free college will indoctrinate more. The goal of college has changed. Idiots are graduated fully indoctrinated with Marxism and unable to survive without pillows, puppies and crayons. As I often say, remember that when your grandkid goes in for simple surgery and dies because the surgeon felt good about themselves but knew nothing about medicine. It’s what people wanted.

Dear ProfessorBriggs. You say:

Trooping of the colour in the morning, planned riots in the afternoon, according to “intelligence” sources. “It doesn’t pay to make predictions. “

Thanks for the latest update on ‘Madness in America’. We know one thing. It will end badly for all of us—unless something is done. Briggs can comment on the probability of that happening.
The last suggestion was a bit morose, very Sorry.
Just realised Heaven Help Us All song was one from Stevie wonder. So it was familiar.
Then recalled this clip, which is a tonic.
Sing along with Stevie!
Grumps: see if you can keep from smiling.
Warning:
The clip DOES contain some general laughter and strong malarkey.
DO not watch if you’re in a bad mood and want to stay that way for a while or until further notice.

History shows that such rebellions are always crushed. Examples are the Paris Commune of 1871 and again, France in May ’68. De Gaulle even secretly fled to Germany at that time. Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War took a bit longer, but only a couple of months.
Als long as Trump stays in the White House, I would not worry at all. He’s giving them enough rope to hang themselves.
Sander van der Wal: Selective history. I love it. (Sad note: Trump cannot walk on water and wishing and hoping won’t make it so.)
Joy: Is it really possible to be too morose?
Sheri, Yes.
The darker things get, the easier it is to spot the light when it appears.
Reading men who think Trump is a strategic genius is a wonder to behold. In America, we may be reaching that time described by Ron White in his joke about him being on a plane that was losing its engines – Bring it down, I don’t care…
The positive law in America is in direct support of the Four Things crying to Heaven for vengeance and ABS is supposed to get all hopping mad about a threat to the establishment?
Seattle? Bring it down.
New York? Bring it down.
Chicago? Bring it down.
Minneapolis? Bring it down.
Boston ? Bring it down.
Baltimore? Bring it down.
Philadelphia? Bring it down.
Los Angeles? Bring it down.
Let hell rain down upon the population who voted into power these lunatic bastids.
St Augustine : “there is no justice save in that commonwealth whose founder and ruler is Christ” and “kingdoms without justice are but criminal gangs”.
Thus, any country (like our American Empire) that legislates contrary to the commandments of Jesus Christ, King of Heaven and Earth, is aught but a criminal gang.
America, the Evil Empire, is the biggest baddest ass alpha dog gang ever, compared to which the Crips and the Bloods are aught but crippled blood hound puppies.
So what sentient Catholic Traditionalist wants to vote for the Political Crips, the Stupid Party (Republicans) or vote for the Political Bloods, the Evil Party (Democrats) and continue to validate the baddest ass gang ever?
Gangs are violent, lawless, vicious, and always striving to conquer the territory of other gangs.
And Amateur Brain Surgeon is not going to vote for a gang.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Don’t vote in national elections
Reasons to Quit Voting
There are four sins crying to Heaven for vengeance and all four sins are the public policy of this Evil Empire, America, and all four sins are the favored objects of positive law in this Evil Empire, America.
Willful Murder (Abortion, Unjust Wars, Drones, Assassinations)
The Sin of Sodom (So-called Gay marriage, the acceptance of sodomy as permissible and praise worthy)
Oppression of the Poor (Usury, which is state-sponsored theft of labor).
Defrauding Laborers of their Wages (Mass immigration which undermines the wage scale, closing manufacturing in America and relocating it overseas to be done by slaves)
So, go ahead; vote.
Tell your own self you are discharging you civic duty because you are. As a subject of an Evil Empire, it is your duty to vote to legitimise these institutionalised evils which call to Heaven for God to destroy this Evil Empire.
As for ABS, he ain’t voting. He’ll stay home and not participate in these evil elections. He’ll stay home, drink some quality cabernet and listen to Mozart, Vivaldi, and Beethoven

Briggs is promoting this guy, Ami Horowitz, who has joined the multitude who have never taken a statistics course (or must have slept through it) and believes he has discovered something important in a little table of numbers.

Lee Phillips has returned! A day of great rejoicing!
Say, Lee, you wouldn’t have just been in Atlanta with a pack of matches or anything, would you? Or was it Seattle?
Nope. Unlike you, I oppose violence, I do not celebrate it.
Lee, is it true you’ll be using this conversation on your application to CNN?
Vermin Phillips, internet bedbug — fell off the wagon, did you? Sad. Sometimes a bug just can’t help himself. And you had been doing such a good job not yielding to temptation. Back on the wagon now, and begone, bugman.
Seattle. That definitely was Phillips choking the Christian.
Thank you John B,
The first video looks uncannily like England. Recognise that Church but you’re right about the anthem
Xander sang that cake song. With the green icing?
Think it works out well in the end despite the soggy cake
I get the feeling someone did leave a cake out in the rain and complained they’d never have that recipe again…it was probably still edible
Food for thought
ABS: ” . . . men who think Trump is a strategic genius . . .”; I have found it best to tune out the process, how he makes the sausage, and just admire the end product.
The most difficult job I’ve had in my life is raising teenagers, and the most difficult part of raising teenagers? Consequences. It takes a lot of effort to come up with meaningful consequences, good and bad. I was grateful for the trivially easy ones, like removing an angrily-slammed bedroom door for a few days. I was even more grateful when the consequences were built-in to the activity. Natural consequences are a much more powerful teacher than externally imposed consequences.
“Chaz” provides built-in life lessons for many of the involved parties, although public admissions will be rare, but the seeds have been planted. Governors, mayors, police chiefs, protest organizers, and small-business owners in other states are watching Seattle, and will be keen to avoid a local repeat. There even are hints that BLM groups are realizing that Antifa groups are not fellow travelers, and that there is an excellent chance that the recent protests will have zero lasting effect, or even a negative effect, with the unintended consequence of increasing racism among the as yet mostly unacknowledged victims of the violence and their sympathizers.
As for Seattle itself, it’s a dying city, and has been long before “Chaz”.

None of these protests have drastically large numbers. They fill up at most a thoroughfare with 6,000 to 10,000 people in cities where the populations are in the millions. It is a form of gaslighting. They are the only ones showing any force, so companies and the rest bow down to their will. 12 leftists get together and have the guts to tear down a Columbus statue and film it. There is no resistance. People get the sense that this is a full blown revolution because no one has the courage to stand up. Until the right gets as vicious as the left, shows their numbers in the streets, and starts burning and stomping on the rainbow flag this will continue.
This is a hostage situation. The left imposes their ad hoc incoherent demands on society because they have a gun to society’s head. And society does not resist. As long as society does not resist the demands will continue to get more radical and more incoherent for the simple reason that they can make them with no resistance. They can take over city blocks with no resistance. They can riot and loot with no resistance. They can tear down statues with no resistance. They can burn flags with no resistance. It is time to resist.
