What a year! Previously, when I’ve had the time, I’ve gone through and looked up the most popular or most prominent posts for each of the twelve months of the waning year. No time for that now. (I do think that my favorite would have to do with THE SUBSTITUTE and the turn towards fictional literature). However, you can make your own calls, here. You can simply start pressing the “older posts” or “previous posts” buttons and take a gander through hundreds of submissions. Alternatively, you can look through the index, sidebar left, and select the months for inspection.

Thank you all for the views and (very few) comments. Here’s to a great 2020! See you then. -P

Taxes…

Wherein Perrin PROPOSES a Tax

I know. I was shocked too. But, it’s a new year (happy 1998!) and we must all change with the times. Everyone can agree that if America needs something, then it’s a privatized college football league. If there’s anything else, then it’s another tax. All the cool politi-critters are a squeaking away about it – like fat stupid rats locked in the cheese factory. If the peeps could be roused from the sofas and the Netflix-Sackler Family comas, then they’d be on-board too. And, this is not an idea that I come to lightly. Careful study of the articles even here at TPC gives credence to the popularity of the phenomenon.

MB lamented both the death and the fiscal failings of The Textile Man: “There’s so many folks out there that bust ass every October & December to make those property tax payments & here he was just not paying them.” Our esteemed editor, just last week, pondered why the home county folks “don’t pay their damned property taxes…” Seriously, you scofflaw slackers! If you don’t turn over your money (and, is it really ever “yours”?), then how can the good Sheriff continue to pay Commy Traig or whomever hundreds of thousands of dollars per year!? Any and all local political corruption depends on your financing. Do your damned jobs!

Da hit the national tax scene hard, heavy, and nobly with his Letter to the 2020 Democratic Nominee: “we still need a wealth tax for the good of us all.” Here, here! You darn tootin’ we do!

I have not spoken with Bess, Kayla, Fred, the Sheriff, or the Sharif about this, but I know for certain they are all in agreement.

Da was right – we need a wealth tax. It’s time for the truly wealthy to pay their fair share. And, truly, who’s wealthier than … The Federal Reserve? Back in October, I replied, in agreement, to Mr. Millsaps heartfelt thoughts as follows: “How about a 100% tax on all Federal Reserve assets, real, fake, and potential? I’ve got an idea…” Well, I do. Here it is…

The 9/11 Narrative Explained

If you’re not familiar with Paul Craig Roberts (PCR), then read this.

In 2014 Progressive Press published a book by a French author, Laurent Guyenot, titled JFK-9/11: 50 Years of Deep State. The book contains much interesting reporting that shows that the official explanations we are given about even major events, such as the assassination of a President and 9/11, are transparently false. Yet, these transparently false explanations are hard to challenge despite all available evidence being against the explanations.

Reviewing such a book is a challenge that I avoided by securing permission to reprint two chapters from the book. One chapter, “Ghost planes,” deals with the mystery of the four allegedly hijacked airliners. No trace of the one that allegedly hit the Pentagon has ever been found, and the many videos of the event remain under lock and key. No trace of the one that allegedly crashed in Pennsylvania has ever been found. Neither has any trace of the two that allegedly hit the two World Trade Center towers ever been found, although an unburnt passpost was allegedly found in the ruins of two massive buildings.

Readers might remember that I raised the question why we did not hear demands for explanations from the families of the victims of the four destroyed airliners like we did from the families whose relatives were in the twin towers. Guyenot reports that of the alleged casualties of AA77 “only five of these have relatives who received the 9-11 Compensation Fund offered by the State. . . . no family of the victims of Flight UA93 requested compensation.”

How can this be?

Read the proffered chapters and see if “false flag” doesn’t jump to mind in answer. We’ve been played.

Local Iraqis show their full appreciation for the nearly 30-year assault on and occupation of their nation by the very, very good, decent, and exceptional US Empire.

Donald Trump vows to hold Iran ‘fully responsible’ for attack on US embassy in Baghdad: Under-siege American soldiers wound 20 of pro-Tehran mob that stormed complex in retaliation for US airstrikes on Hezbollah

  • American soldiers inside the embassy have fired tear gas, stun grenades and warning shots at hundreds of fighters who broke down the compound gate and set fires within the complex on Tuesday
  • The ambassador was on leave at the time of the attack and embassy staff had already been evacuated before the US Marine guard became besieged at the compound

Iraq. Iran. I-sore. It’s working. Vote harder!

Except worse. Charles Hugh Smith makes the connections relevant to toxic socials.

What are the full costs of the current addiction to social media? These costs are even more difficult to measure than the consequences of widespread addiction to nicotine, but they exist regardless of our unwillingness or inability to measure the costs.
Consider the devastating consequences of social media on teen suicides. Here is one such story: Tragedy.
Then there’s all the lost productivity as social media addicts check their phones 150+ times a day, interrupting not just work or school but intimacy, up to and including sex.
The psychological attraction of smoking is the core of tobacco marketing, of course; no tobacco company sells cigarettes on the benefits of nicotine addiction. The pitch is that smoking cigarettes is glamorous and attractive because it’s “adult” and forbidden.
Anything that has the double allure of the forbidden and the glamorous is extremely compelling to social animals such as humans, who seek to “stand out” via glamour and risk-taking to heighten our social status, which plays such a life-changing role in the selection of mates and our position in the pecking-order hierarchy.
Social media shares certain aspects of these dynamics. While it’s not exactly glamorous, social media enables otherwise average individuals the golden opportunity to “stand out” and raise their social status by attracting more “likes” and positive feedback than other consumers of social media.

 

Thus, no social buttons here anymore. You’re welcome.

Closing the Comments

A few changes are in effect for 2020 (the remained of 2019 too).

First and most prominently, I have closed the comments for all new posts. I think I have sealed off older entries also. The post(s) of the current day still display “leave a comment;” however, ALL go to moderation without automatically appearing in sequence. Why? Well, anymore there aren’t that many comments in the first place. But you simply would not believe the garbage that the filters catch – spam, attacks, and walls of idiotic text. I’m done with that. I do apologize to the very few long-time readers who still leave thoughtful comments. Most of you know how to get ahold of me if there’s something that has to be added via a quoted update. And, should I find one of your comments before it flys off to the land of moderation, I’ll happily let it through. The “like” feature remains.

Second, I have removed all links to various (anti) social media. I have no interest in entertaining or confusing the 95 IQ denizens of Farcebook or Twitland. I almost left the WP “press” button and considered adding “print” or “email,” but, why? This is a ban on direct links; if it’s pressing, then you can always cut and paste a link address to the social or other function of your choice. As noted, the “like” feature is still here along with the “reblog” button. No apologies.

Third, the policy going forward is that this blog does not accept guest submissions. Nor will I answer inquiries regarding the same. The exception to this new rule would only apply to people whom I know and/or trust. Ironically, almost all of them have their own platforms. If you have a genuine interest in spreading some idea to the www, then please visit WP, Blogger, Wix, or some other development program and start your own forum. The rest of you, phish somewhere else.

As always, I reserve the right to make (or threaten to make) other changes. The foregoing is made in response to continuous activities here, noted and otherwise. And, there is a new direction on the internet of which I am becoming extremely dubious. I was not kidding, a while back, about the manual typewriter and electricity.

It’s going to be an exciting year. Please stay tuned and thank you for your support.

Over the weekend, I started making some changes to the Youtube channel. Now, here, it’s just one intro link, sidebar left. I don’t really use it anymore, the subscriber base has dissipated, and, honestly, I’m just not a video person (hence, this site, the columns, and the books). In the channel’s infancy, I called it The Perrin Lovett Show. Later, it morphed into a Freedom Prepper outlet. Today, it largely sits idle. So, I removed about 90% of the videos – the Prepper News Weekly episodes, other FP matters, and a few related to TPC – are unlisted (still accessible from the various base links elsewhere); the majority of the rest are still there, just private now (for now).

About a dozen of the most popular videos and those related to my books remain. I also stopped the comments, such as there were. And, I simplified my own YT account considerably. Call it winter cleaning. In not unrelated news, I have a housekeeping post coming later today about the blog.

Cheers. P

They’re Worried About Freedom, Now?

The useless UN aims to further its irrelevance in 2020.

The United Nations on Friday approved a Russian-led bid that aims to create a new convention on cybercrime, alarming rights groups and Western powers that fear a bid to restrict online freedom.

The General Assembly approved the resolution sponsored by Russia and backed by China, which would set up a committee of international experts in 2020.

The panel will work to set up “a comprehensive international convention on countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes,” the resolution said.

The United States, European powers and rights groups fear that the language is code for legitimizing crackdowns on expression, with numerous countries defining criticism of the government as “criminal.”

Say what now? I’ve watched these past few years as all those wonderful western governments and rights groups did nothing as people slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders were deplatformed right and right (never left). And, the European powers have laws criminalizing criticism of a government, if not their own; the US is working on that as well, the 1A be dead parchment. So, what is all the fuss suddenly about? Must be those dastardly Russians. If not for the UN support, I possibly could get behind this. As is, I just don’t care. I’m starting to see the internet, maybe even electricity even, as a mistake. Running from one Br’er Rabbit villain to another certainly is.

Government School = Offering Children up to Moloch

Literally.

Over the past hundred years or so, a rabid cabal of feminists, queers, open and covert Satanists, and other degenerates have utterly destroyed education in the remains of America. One critical part of their program was to censor and remove any trace of Christianity. In God’s place, they erected idols to every evil imaginable. That wall of separation only stands between the people and the true Lord, not between them and third-rate agents of the devil.

A school in Steamboat Springs is under scrutiny after a parent reported an assignment in which students were required to recite sexually explicit and/or distasteful poetry that includes worship of the pagan deity Moloch as well as conveying the topic of “sexting” in society – which was assigned to eleventh grade students without parental consent.
Brett Cason, the father of 16-year-old Steamboat Springs High School student Skylar, reported the content his daughter was being taught in her “Music Literature” class to the school’s administration after being exasperated upon discovering the assignment for himself, according to Fox News.

The teacher himself, Ryan Ayala, formally apologized to the offended parents for composing his lesson plan around Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl,” acknowledging the fact that it was the “most offensive” coursework covered in his class – where students were instructed to “fill in blanks” of censored poems, including phrases such as “f***ed in the a**” and “c**t” as well as other lewd language.

…

“We do believe that what occurred this fall was simply an oversight as a result of not understanding the policy,” Meeks wrote. “We regret if members of our community were offended.”

The policy? Don’t be so obvious as to get caught. Not that any of the simpleton parents really care, even if a few were gifted with that greatest of Amerikan virtues, being “offended.” Notice, in the story, the constant hand-wringing over the sexting and the #MeToo? That’s bad enough, even as the kids live it every single day. But the real crime that none seemed that concerned with is the passive acceptance of the Canaanite fire god who eats children – in a school dedicated to banning religion.

And, what will the good people do about all of this? Why the same thing they always do about everything – nothing.

Someone wrote a book full of (fictional) incidents like this.
