Decisions, Decisions…

an admittedly-second rate column…

*I submitted this one to TPC, both to see if they wanted it and if they’re back from the usual vacation. For this audience, the body has been slightly edited.

 

This week, in spite of a myriad of potential topics, I had extreme difficulty coming up with that one, golden subject crying out for attention. Please, if you will, stumble through a shortlist of the candidates with me. Maybe something will jump out at us.

The verdict is in! Twelve craven retards convicted Derek Chauvin of all three counts in his show trial over the narcotics overdose death of the violent felon, druggie, and small-time porn actor Big Floyd. The evidence was incontrovertible that Floyd died of cardio-pulmonary failure caused by extremely poor vascular health and a triple lethal dose of Fentanyl (among several other varieties of dope). But, what does evidence matter in this day and age? Faced with threats of insurrection by Mad Maxine and her legions of Burn, Loot, Murder thugs, and Antifa terrorists, the jury and the system did what everyone suspected they would. We could say that April 20th was the day justice died but that call would be years late. And, really, no one cares.

They’re bragging about it! Yesterday, it was a crazy conspiracy theory. Now, even the fake president boasts to the fake media about fake foreign meddling in the fake 2020 election. According to former Vice President Dusthead, Russia rigged the electoral process resulting in Dusthead’s selection. I know nobody cares, but this point leads me to the next possibility:

War! It’s not clear who, exactly, is calling the shots in DC, but whoever it is, they want a war with Russia really, really, really badly. That’s about how it would or will end too. Whoever it is – and it’s not Dusthead nor Willie B’s call girl – they are not one-note luciferians: they are also bound and determined to lose a war to China, Iran, and maybe some other countries. Big yawn, right?

What’s another one? Realize it or not, we’re already involved in multiple wars. From the outside, several factions, already warring with each other, are fighting over who gets to claim the prize of the gutted shell of Amerika. What a prize?! They have been waging unrestricted warfare against the US for at least a decade, with copious assistance from the inside. On top of that, we are already in the early, cooler stages of a civil war. But, as heavy munitions haven’t destroyed your house yet, you don’t mind, do you? I certainly do not.

The 2020 Census is inbound! No changes whatsoever, eh, Senator Kennedy? This one really isn’t that important as anyone with a triple-digit IQ can already see the shift and terminal decline.

In less than four months, Planned Parenthood has already murdered over 100,000 babies, roughly a third of the total killed this pitiful year. Hey! Better them than you, right, you gutless piece of excrement…

Part of the civil war is the Great Hoax that is now morphing into the greatest war crime ever! “Your” government has kindly admitted that there is not nor was there ever a “Coronavirus pandemic.” It really is nothing more than a rebranded cold, flu, and pneumonia season, and a milder one at that. Why worry about facts, when you have your beloved masks?

Masks are ineffective and dangerous. The literate and curious have been aware of this since around 1920. However, last fall a Hoax-specific study revealed how masks mess with the mind, deprive the brain of oxygen, make you look like a foolish slave, but at least they do nothing to slow down viral transmission! I know, I know, it’s part of your religion. Wear it. Don a Glad bag if you want to.

The fake vaccine is poison. The statistics (I know they’re “racist” like all other math) plainly show that, even before factoring in potential super-charged secondary infections or accelerated cancers, the experimental mRNA technology itself is more deadly to USians than firearms. Dusthead: common sense #PoisonControl? No…

The economy is completely disconnected from reality. Dogecoin was started as a joke. A jocular hoax, based on a meme, aimed at another crypto scam, all built off of a decimated fiat currency … now has a more valuable market capitalization than Ford Motor Company. We’re not in Clownworld. We’re in Clownworld’s version of Clownworld. 

On top of all of that…

*I removed the TPC punchline as it isn’t necessary here. It was a struggle to come up with something. Soon, I feel the need for a little more fiction. Actually, I feel the need for a lot more fiction!

How It Might Happen – the Weekly Column!

And, this week, it’s another short work of fiction based on highly plausible real near-future events. This one runs exclusively or initially here because 1) I assume it’s the TOO Real Story, and 2) I was notified by TPC’s excellent internal staff communication system that the venerable paper is going on a 2-week Sprink Break (woot!) hiatus. Accordingly, my next two weekly columns will be a little “harder” and will run here (possibly elsewhere – developing [slowly] that). Here goes:

 

 How It Might Happen

 

Brynlee pulled her thong up to fully expose the new marijuana leaf tattoo riding high on her plump, white right cheek. She was delighted TikTok was working again (it had been off-and-on for a few days for unknown reasons) though she was moderately distressed the comments feed still wasn’t active. ‘Weah muh boiz? Weah beo-chez? Thot bee hawt!’ she slurred as she began to twerk for the camera. ‘Yaw git high why I shake dis booty, shake dis booty, shake diss booooo-tay!’ 

The noise from the living room really bothered her – almost as much as the loss of instant gratification from her ten-thousand loyal followers. ‘Turn dat sheeit dow!’ she screamed. ‘Dat bee dee nooz?’

Suddenly, Marqueena, the seven-year-old daughter she’d had with Darnell, a man she barely remembered, stormed into the kitchen. Sober eyes would have detected the fear and distress on the cute little face, have ivory, half ebony.

‘Which ship is daddy on?!’ the little girl asked with a shout.

‘Gah! Gurl, waay,’ the attention whore exclaimed as she tapped off her phone. ‘Wuh? Why? He on dat Ray-gan, da airpane sheep.’

With an ear-splitting scream the child crumpled to the floor in a sobbing heap. Between wails, she bleated, ‘Daddy! Daddy!’

Her wasted, worthless mother stepped over her writhing body and ventured to the doorway. From there, she witnessed something on the 80-inch screen that almost drove the booze and drugs from her underpowered mind. She looked just in time to see the third playing of the first hypersonic anti-ship missile as it plowed into the starboard side of CVN-76. Four more bright flashes followed in rapid succession. Within minutes, over one-hundred-thousand tons of steel, billions of dollars, and six-thousand men – Darnell included – sank to the ocean floor.

While little Marqueena rolled and cried, pounding the linoleum with her fists, Brynlee stupidly muttered, ‘Day-um. Muh check…’

The horrific martial scenes on the television were replaced by a stunned Tucker Carlson. With great effort, he spoke again, ‘And, that was Sunday night. Three days ago. They’ve been lying for three days – lying as if nothing was wrong. Well, it is. It’s worse than wrong, it’s unbelievable. It’s terminal.

‘It took Russian and European reporting – that they tried to block! – to break the truth openly. For three days, President Harris, or Pelosi, or whoever the hell is supposed to be running this failed nation has been lying to us. A training exercise? Retaliatory strikes. Mission accomplished? Your sailor will contact you when routine radio silence is lifted! Lies. Lies. Lies!

‘Here’s what we know – now! – that really happened. The Iranians knew the strikes were coming and they were ready. Not a single US cruise missile or bomber got through. Tehran obviously has this Russian S-400 or S-500 system and it obviously works. They also have, according to new reports we’ve been able to verify, advanced ultra-high-velocity sea-skimming missiles. That’s what sunk the Reagan along with three support ships. 

‘Our Navy is so weak, so unprepared that they can’t even recover the very few survivors. The Iranians, to their great credit, have been picking up our wounded, treating them, and offering to return them as soon as possible. They, it seems, have Allah’s grace; we’ve lost it.

‘Within an hour of the Battle of the Arabian Sea, China moved against Taiwan, their first step being to sweep the US Pacific Fleet aside. That’s when we lost the Roosevelt and the Nimitz and other support ships – lost them to more advanced weaponry and better tactics. That’s when we lost most of our island-based assets in the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. China, by the way, is not interested in recovering any of our MIAs. Also, by the way, there is practically nothing we can do about any of this…

‘That’s when … that’s how we lost an estimated thirty-thousand casualties – in one hour. That’s why Vladimir Putin sternly reminded Washington of the new Russian defense alliances with Beijing and Tehran. That’s when the failed, satanic, blood-thirsty fools in the White House started lying. That’s how we know this paper tiger has no teeth. Just maybe, maternity flight suits and transgender sex change operations weren’t the right priority. Well, regardless of how we look at it, America’s imperial age just ended.’

Not Relevant To This Congress

*This is the column of the week! I submitted it to TPC on my usual schedule – however! Unbeknownst to me, old MB had already plotted to run my old 2013 Posse Comitatus piece. That’s not a bad move and I think it fits with the local brinksmanship he’s playing in C-town. (He’s planning something; justice is coming!) So, here’s my extended take on the collapse and ruin of traditional American society, through the scratched, hazy lens of Congressional BS. Enjoy!

 

Not Relevant To This Congress

Identity > culture > politics. That’s the order, regardless of what one wants, wishes, or imagines. And when a people lose their identity, then they soon lose their culture and their politics cease to have meaning. That explains why America is where it is today.

Recently, Joe Biden gave a speech in Texas. While the poor fellow pulled it together, the start was just a little rough. “What am I doing here?” he asked.  Two days later, Donald Trump babbled away at the CPAC failure in Florida. What was he doing there? 

None of that practical political nonsense matters anymore. Aside from noticing that the old left-right tango improved nothing, one could also observe the higher-order chaos as sadly showcased in Washington.

Every session, Congress opens with a prayer. The 117th was no exception. This year’s inaugural offering of worship, given on January 4, 2021, ended as follows: “We ask it in the name of the monotheistic god, Brahma, and ‘god’ known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and awomen.” Thus spake and blasphemed one Emanuel Cleaver, Democratic Representative from Missouri. This is where my mocking use of “Awoman!” comes from. Yet that novel word isn’t the point of contention in the above devotion. It’s Brahma, the Hindu creator god, a pagan god, and therefore, a demon. 

Congress opened its sordid business with an invocation to a demon. Cleaver, a United Methodist minister, should have known better, perhaps recalling something from Exodus about false gods. Then again, he thought that Amen is a gendered term requiring a little political correcting for the times. Brahma must be proud. 

In a way, it’s almost fitting. The USSA is a dead, immoral, wicked, lost empire in the final phases of disintegration. For instance, last week, the same House called into session under the watchful gaze of a demon debated and passed HR 5, the “Equality Act.” This bill, if passed and signed into law, will give special rights to mentally-ill, spiritually-poisoned sodomites, freaks, pedophiles, and – mark my words – eventually cannibals. It will also punish any traditional Americans who still dare to hold to their traditions. Brahma must be beaming with pride.

During the debate, or what passed for one, something telling happened. Watch THIS CSPAN VIDEO at around the 03:02:15 mark. If you’ve ever wondered what a grossly obese, satanic rodent in a suit looks like, then there he is. That’s Jerry Nadler (D-Hell), who responded to reasoned Christian criticism of the Act’s potential effects on girls’ athletics with these venomous words: “[W]what any religious tradition describes as God’s will is not relevant to this congress.” In all fairness to his lowness, the dishonorable rat, he may have said “ascribes to God’s will,” but it was hard to understand him through both of those ridiculous face diapers. His words were muffled but his intentions came through as sharp as daggers. One assumes he was referring to any “god” except Brahma; Cleaver did, in fact, join Nadler in voting to pass the abomination. Say Awoman!

Nadler, may the Lord rebuke him, is correct about the irrelevance of God to the luciferian cabal in DC. However, it would be much for honest to say that Congress is not relevant to God. He hates evil and instructs us to do likewise. He cannot be pleased with the USSA, where 150,000 babies were murdered – by the depraved people, not the depraved government – in the first two months of 2021 alone.

It was not always this way. Even those still deluded by the Enlightenment and Freemasonry can read in the dead Constitution the reference to “Blessings” and the concluding “year of our Lord.” Whose Lord? Not Brahma. Not in 1787. Before that, no one likes to remember, “The United States of America” (RIP) was created by and governed by the better-than-muh-constitution Articles of Confederation. The Articles also made reference to an earlier “year of our Lord.” Again, the Lord was not Brahma. The whole show was kicked off with the Declaration of Independence, which appealed to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s GOD.” Which God? 

The Founders and others of their day left plain evidence, in addition to their legal writings, that America was a Christian nation of English origin, beholden to the one true Christian God. And no other. That was the identity we have lost – European and Christian, Western, civilized, intelligent. The culture followed into the abyss. Naturally, the politics degenerated to the point that talking rats and befuddled morons praise demons and protect deviants under the dead empire’s Capitol Dome. The fate of Sodom and Gomorrah would be better than what our fallen people deserve. 

We were warned repeatedly about what happens to nations that forsake themselves and God’s Order. Locally, we can see it all around us. We get elected officials who cannot perform their duties and make fools of themselves and their constituents. We get malfunctioning street lights, crime, drag queen story hour, and schools where children are neither educated nor safe. Elections, legal recourse, and general bemoaning will not help as, at this point, a demographic line has been crossed. 

What in God’s Great Name did we ever do to deserve this? Bluntly, we turned away from Him and sold our birthright for cheap thrills and trivial conveniences. More practically, we did not have enough children, nor properly raise the few we were gifted. The enemies of Christ were waiting for our mistakes. They have not changed in two-thousand years. They are determined to return to the direct presence of their unholy father and they’d just as soon drag us and our children with them. They cannot be safely tolerated, ignored, or compromised with. God may not be relevant to their foolish politics, but He will not be mocked.

Will The Storm Save The Republic?

Today’s column is somewhat of a follow-up on my last, longer article. I think you will find it extremely inspirational.

That 2020 election was something else, wasn’t it? What a way to end a year of nearly unmitigated disaster. There was a dubious pandemic, likely covering an economic collapse or something much worse. The whole year was a state of emergency exacerbated by civil unrest and general uncertainty. Nerves were frayed enough and then along came the political theater. To top it off, no sooner than the polls closed than the challenges began against the putative winner. Allegations of paper, electronic, systemic, and secret-societal fraud poured forth, all substantiated by what can only be described as hard evidence, proof, in fact.

Yet and still, the corrupt bureaucrats, legislators, judges, media, and others of power and influence refused to hear the evidence. These parties eagerly rubber-stamped the fraud and, going much further, began a pre-planned campaign to spread lies and squelch dissent. The situation looked, for all intents and purposes, final. The deed was done. The nominally-defeated, many of them, began to sulk and mutter about the “next time.” The victors prepared to take power and press forward with a most progressive agenda – a great reset, if you will.

Then, only a few weeks ago, the most miraculous thing happened. The military, long rumored to be positioned against such electoral theft, took bold, decisive action. A period of emergency martial law was imposed. A new, honest election was promised. The incoming, illegitimate head of state was arrested for multiple crimes. Hundreds of corrupt officials were arrested for their roles in the coup. The fake news media was caged. The complicit members of the larger tech platforms were silenced via a nationwide internet blackout.

2020: An Election Like No Other – from TPC

The following is an excerpt from a commissioned article now running at The Piedmont Chronicles.

2020: An Election Like No Other

Back in 1983, Americans were shocked when a cadre of toddlers began making startling allegations of abuse. Beginning in metro Los Angeles, the matter spread as far and wide as Florida and Washington, DC. The extensive criminal case in California stemmed from rumors of ritual exploitation and sodomy occurring in tunnels under a daycare center. The matter gave rise to what was popularly called the “Satanic Panic.” After years of exhaustive investigation, all charges and cases were dropped without any convictions. The children’s tales were written off by experts as overactive imaginations. The concerns of parents and the Christian Right were dismissed, sometimes mockingly, as baseless accusations lacking any evidence and driven by hysteria and conspiracy theory.

Over thirty years after the last hung jury in the Panic cases was dismissed, the United States held another quadrennial presidential election. I was as happy as a clam the other day when old MB asked me to sum up the affair. As you know, this was a plain, uncontested victory followed by the smoothest of transfers of power … Just Kidding! Seriously, you likely have heard much about the matter already; this is the briefest of reviews of some of the more historic events, allegations, and ramifications. A word of warning: herein, I include links to voluminous reading material; however, I’ve tried to make things as simple as possible while also including a little information you may not have read elsewhere.

The election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. When the dust settled, the official popular vote tally was 81,268,924 for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (Biden) and 74,216,154 for Donald Trump and Mike Pence (Trump). In December, Biden tentatively defeated Trump with an Electoral College vote of 306 to 232. Congress jointly assembled to certify the vote on January 6, 2021, and following mildly entertaining antics did so certify Biden’s victory on January 7th. Surrounded by several dozen supporters and tens of thousands of soldiers, Biden was sworn in as the US’s 46th President on January 20, 2021. There were, as it turned out, a few hiccups along the way.

First, concerning the popular vote, to call it a “record turnout” is an understatement. Biden, who had barely campaigned, received the highest number of votes in history. Trump, who had barely campaigned coherently, obliterated Hillary Clinton’s winning popular vote from 2016 and both of Barack Obama’s victories in 2012 and 2008. In fact, Biden aside, Trump received the most popular votes in history – and yet still lost by over 7 million votes to a man who had barely campaigned. A very interesting anomaly. The final arrival of those winning votes was interesting too.

My latest TPC column, more of a white paper, is coming along a little later today. I’ll have that here when it hits. It’s good, though the subject matter to me is a little yesterday; it was a commissioned piece. As luck has it, I have another, follow-up prepared and I’m already moving on to the next subject(s).

While you wait, here’s the PPN for today:

By now, you must know where to find these. However, they do make decent filler while we wait on the written words.

Super Bowl Review – from TPC

Here’s something:

Halfway There, Methinks | From the CFF Sports Desk

Happy new week, fellow Branch COVIDians! If you can kindly refrain from the anal swabs and Aunt Yellen UBI begging for a moment, I have some extremely exciting news of the competitive athletic variety. Hey! You with the premature age spots, lethargy, and uncontrollable twitching! That’s probably acute immune thrombocytopenia, aka Pfizer poisoning. Seek immediate emergency medical help … aw, and he’s dead. Where were we? Oh, right, Tampa!

With the ongoing economic collapse, the simmering civil conflagration, out of control unrestricted warfare on all fronts, the lost art of echoing, and a general reluctance by some to accept the primacy of identity in certain matters, especially those political, it was a hard pick this week – until Sunday night. Super Bowl LV gave us too many records and firsts to ignore. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Front and center, there’s the number seven. Tom Brady has now won SEVEN(!!!) of his ten(!) Super Bowl appearances – records that even the fake news media acknowledge in between bouts of “Kamala-ing” Creepy Joe. Me? My title, above. I think Brady is halfway to his attainable goal of fourteen SB rings. 14.

I’m just wracking my brain now trying to come up with the perfect topic for TPC next week. You’ll know it when you read it! Lately, all this year, the gang (except for Kayla) have fretted over the dreaded menace of … IDENTITY POLITICS!!! As a hated Christian Nationalist, I, of course, happily acknowledge the truth of the identitarian trend. Given all that’s happened in the past year, especially in politics, one would assume that almost everyone would have come around already. One would assume wrong.

It’s: identity > culture > politics. It always has been, but so long as the dominant identity group and its culture controlled politics, few remembered or needed to. That has changed. Here’s the imperative of recognizing reality: In the USSA, politics is dead, as evidenced by the fraud, the coup, the allowing of the same, and the resulting war on Heritage America. Likewise, the dominant culture is dead, long gone, and the remnants are in mortal danger. That leaves ONLY identity to cling to. One will note that the other side(s) have no problem at all with this simple concept. If White Christians want to survive, they had best get on board. Of course, at TPC, I’m generally not allowed to write “White” and “Christians” together. Too many on our side won’t even acknowledge who we are – a terrible problem, but one that perhaps we can fix.

Some can’t, for one reason or another – can’t not won’t, come to grips. I have another idea that almost seems a little mean as to dealing with people like that. They generally fall into four categories, sometimes overlapping: the evil, the retarded, the mentally ill, and the habitually intoxicated. I advise never speaking to evil people outside of telling them to go away as they are literally dangerous to be around. The others are not necessarily bad people, but honestly, there can be no serious intellectual discussion with them. In important matters, be kind, but have as little to do with those others as possible – they waste time at best. No … that does sound mean…

Identity politics it is! If I can do it without being censored. Or unless something else comes up. Again, you’ll know it when you read it.

“The Cascading Ripple” of Weimar Amerika

Over at TPC, MB McCart knocks the $15 minimum wage out of the park:

They have now seen their cost of goods sold increase the aforementioned 67.6%. This retailer has always used a 25% mark-up/gross profit model. What they used to sell for $25to the general public, will now undoubtedly have to go way up.

So, they add their usual 25% mark-up to their new COGS (cost of goods sold). That number in now $41.91.

BUT…Big But…this retailer now has to factor in their own increase of labor costs. They’ve found that they’ll need to tack on an additional 22%.

So now, when it’s all said & done, the retailer will now be selling “The Product” for the new price of:

$51.13 per unit vs. the $25 they used to charge.

So, the minimum wage has increased two-fold & so will the prices.

So…what’s the point?

The two points are these:

1. Corporate America will weather this storm very nicely while a large majority of small, independent businesses won’t (a win for the unholy alliance of Big Biz & Big Gov – and China, et al).

2. A doubling of the money supply will only greatly benefit the bank$ters & Wall Street.

And that’s the fact of the matter, America.

If you’ve already gotten it; or, now you get it. Well Done! Thanks. Now get off your asses & go make a difference!

For those of you who made it to the end of this & are just still stuck in your own general malaise & dissonance ( or can only do what your phone tells you to) — bless your hearts!

We’re all still pulling for you, though…

Read the whole thing, a fantastic and all-too-realistic economic assessment.

Why So Stingy, Joe?

 

Howdy. If you could kindly refrain from insurrectionism for a moment or three, let’s all adjust our permanent face diapers (triple layers, people!), and talk about money. Amen, Awoman, etc.

By the grace of Bramah, and by really working the cemetery and foreign algorithm votes, notorious hippity-hopper, Joey B. worked his way into the White House basement. When not sleeping, creeping, or sniffing, his handlers have him signing executive orders and plotting some sort of great reset. One of his (handlers’) schemes involves raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15.00 per hour. 

Look, our recovery plan also calls for an increase in the minimum wage, at 15 — at least $15.00 an hour.  No one in America should work 40 hours a week making below the poverty line.  Fifteen dollars gets people above the poverty line.  We have so many millions of people working 40 hours a week — working — and some with two jobs, and they’re still below the poverty line.  

So remarked RHEast’s daddy, on January 22, 2021, whilst signing EOs and hyping his (handlers’) American Rescue Plan. Yes, please! Won’t someone rescue the Americans? Maybe they could start by shipping out the Big Guy’s (handlers’) cabinet, the members of which do share a certain monolithic nature, no?

A week later, Obama’s Veep’s (handlers’) Press Secretary, Jen “Deer in the Headlights” Psaki, in response to a fake media question about “Fifteen,” meekly mumbled something about Chairman Sanders, Congress, Parliament moving forward, a path forward, expediting urgency, and certainly feeling something. I, for one, was inspired. Inspired, but underwhelmed. Here’s why:

Between 1960 and 1964, the minimum wage increased from $1 to $1.15. Between those years, the Treasury was doing something funny with the dollar and the federal reserve note (a legitimate President was also assassinated, though I’m sure the events were completely unrelated). Also between 1960 and 1964, the price of an ounce of silver bounced around between $.91 and $1.29. This is a rough example of how the minimum wage was once pegged to the silver dollar. If it were still so connected, then the present minimum wage would be around $28 per hour. Soooo … why so low, Creepy Joe?

…
