Liz Cheney exposed: using Jan6 committee to attack her detractors, police state taticts worthy of the CCP.

When a person is chosen for a select committee, they are supposed to be of impeccable ethical and moral character and behavior. Why? Because they are being charged with both judging the actions of another person, and representing our best interests. 

Anyone who uses such a position to advance an agenda, consolidate their power or to attack their competition is both acting in an immoral/unethical manner and abusing power. Such behavior is intolerable in any free nation. Liz Cheney (a true RINO) and her Democrat allies are doing just that in the Jan 6 committee.

Pelosi essentially used the nation's military for imposing her will and intimidating anyone who opposed her grab for power. She also, for the pure spite of undermining Trump, stopped his closure of the borders at the onset of the pandemic. She, probably more than anyone other than the CCP, is responsible for the Covid deaths in the US. Again she did this to advance her own power, sacrificing thousands of lives just to spite her enemy, Donald Trump. For this alone, Pelosi deserves to spend the rest of her days behind bars. 

Barack Obama used the IRS to attempt to discredit and undermine his opponents, he also used the FBI and NSA to illegally spy on US citizens without due process or concern for Constitutional law; a Constitution he repeated dismissed as irrelevant and outdated. He broke his oath of office on multiple occasions. There were no consequences for this, an unfortunate commentary on the corruption of a government run by career bureaucrats whose sole motivation is maintaining their power and position. These are un-elected people who actually run the government, considering themselves above everyone else and definitely above the law they enforce on others. Unfortunately, most are liberals. 

Liberals are drawn to bureaucracies by the core belief system of the liberal. That belief is that the average person is incapable of making right or moral decisions left to their own devices. They believe a powerful and intrusive central government is necessary to ensure (by force if necessary) "correct" decisions and behavior by the unwashed masses. Without openly admitting it, most liberals think 1984 is a "how -to" book, not a cautionary tale. 

Joe Biden, a closet pedophile and demented liberal hack and his ex hooker VP were voted in by a populace totally uninformed by the mainstream media just what they were voting in. In the first week of his presidency, the illegally installed Biden destroyed our energy independence, cost over 12000 high paying jobs, and by trickle down, thousands of other jobs depending on those, and throttled our transportation industry, started buying our gas from our enemies and left our military high and dry. He did tremendous damage to our economy for the sheer joy of screwing his predecessor. Immoral , incompetent and irresponsible behavior at best proceeded from this lifelong political bureaucratic mouthpiece. 

One would expect from a nation of well educated and rational people the quick expulsion of such incompetence. Not surprisingly, this will probably not happen. Most people are educated by the public schools and much of their moral and ethical structure is supplied by MSM. These two liberal controlled entities are the reason many of us who actually pay attention are less than confident in the ability of the population to actually think on their own. Our kids are indoctrinated by public "education" and our young adults are disoriented and misled by our college faculties; most young college graduates are taught to hate their country. Most college graduates are not educated at all, in fact few can actually function in the workplace and are "OJT"- on the job trained just to be able to function at a minimal level.

It is not that there is a lot of support for the left. It is just that they are highlighted and supported by the liberal owned and controlled media. The majority of people do not agree with the liberal left, for good reason. Their voices are not heard by any media, political party or public "servant"' Is it bad? Yes, worse than most people can imagine, or want to. 

The cure for America lies in the first part of the Constitution, Article 5, setting out the means for a "reset" when the government has become incapable of governing, the Convention of States. This may well be our sole chance to regain our freedom, and by God, I hope we take the opportunity to clean out the trash heap the government has become.

Military screening for "extremists" , but only white guys. BLM, Black Panthers, black gangstas are not, apparently, extremists.

 Just when you thought liberal hypocrisy and bias have reached a zenith , the US government proves that nothing is too absurd for the liberal leaders in charge of weakening our armed forces. 

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/01/11/watchdog-audit-militarys-screening-extremists-enlistment.html?ESRC=eb_220112.nl 

The US military is concerned that White Supremacists and conservatives supporting Trump might want to serve in the military, totally unacceptable. Black Supremacists, MS13, Antifa and POC belonging to black gangs in the ghettos are more than welcome. Whites are no longer welcome in the new Amerika, komrade. They actually believe in the oath to protect and defend the Constitution that liberals want to revoke and allow the UN to rewrite. 

What could possibly go wrong? 

ANtifa emblem wearing man with pipe bomb, but "we don't know his political affiliations"

 

Silliness and stupidity are not new in the woke leftist world. The left and their lapdogs, the main stream media, are well known for their ability to blandly extol the most insipid and hypocritical spin on reality. This one is pretty bad even for them. 

The subject of the article is a man wearing an antifa emblem, carrying a pipe bomb and with an antifa standard checklist in his pocket, but the police can't determine his politics or motivation for carrying a pipe bomb at a protest in support of one of the men who stormed the capitol on Jan 6. Really? 

If this guy wore an Aryan Nation symbol, its a sure bet that the cops and MSM would have no problem determining his politics and motivation. I am sick and tired of the left and their terrorist groups being sheltered by the prog libs and the MSM. At least be objective and honest about things. This is an affront to freedom of the press and public right to know. It is also completely biased and dishonest, a common theme with the left.

A battery speaks.

 Electric Vehicles - Batteries

 

Whether you are a proponent of electric vehicles or not, this is very interesting information. This is an unusual and thought provoking article by Bruce Haedrich.

 

 

 When I saw the title of this lecture, especially with the picture of the scantily clad model, I couldn’t resist attending. The packed auditorium was abuzz with questions about the address; nobody seemed to know what to expect. The only hint was a large aluminum block sitting on a sturdy table on the stage.

 

      When the crowd settled down, a scholarly-looking man walked out and put his hand on the shiny block, “Good evening,” he said, “I am here to introduce NMC532-X,” and he patted the block, “we call him NM for short,” and the man smiled proudly. “NM is a typical electric vehicle (EV) car battery in every way except one; we programmed him to send signals of the internal movements of his electrons when charging, discharging, and in several other conditions. We wanted to know what it feels like to be a battery. We don’t know how it happened, but NM began to talk after we downloaded the program.

 

     Despite this ability, we put him in a car for a year and then asked him if he’d like to do presentations about batteries. He readily agreed on the condition he could say whatever he wanted. We thought that was fine, and so, without further ado, I’ll turn the floor over to NM,” the man turned and walked off the stage.   

 

      “Good evening,” NM said. He had a slightly affected accent, and when he spoke, he lit up in different colors. “That cheeky woman on the marquee was my idea,” he said. “Were she not there, along with ‘naked’ in the title, I’d likely be speaking to an empty auditorium! I also had them add ‘shocking’ because it’s a favorite word amongst us batteries.” He flashed a light blue color as he laughed.

 

      “Sorry,” NM giggled then continued, “three days ago, at the start of my last lecture,  three people walked out. I suppose they were disappointed there would be no dancing girls. But here is what I noticed about them. One was wearing a battery-powered hearing aid, one tapped on his battery-powered cell phone as he left, and a third got into his car, which would not start without a battery. So, I’d like you to think about your day for a moment; how many batteries do you rely on?”

 

     He paused for a full minute which gave us time to count our batteries.  Then he went on, “Now, it is not elementary to ask, ‘what is a battery?’ I think Tesla said it best when they called us Energy Storage Systems. That’s important. We do not make electricity – we store electricity produced elsewhere, primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle is not at all valid. Also, since forty percent of the electricity generated in the U.S. is from coal-fired plants, it follows that forty percent of the EVs on the road are coal-powered, n’est-ce pas?”

 

      He flashed blue again. “Einstein’s formula, E=MC2, tells us it takes the same amount of energy to move a five-thousand-pound gasoline-driven automobile a mile as it does an electric one. The only question again is what produces the power? To reiterate, it does not come from the battery; the battery is only the storage device, like a gas tank in a car.” 

      He lit up red when he said that, and I sensed he was smiling. Then he continued in blue and orange. “Mr. Elkay introduced me as NMC532. If I were the battery from your computer mouse, Elkay would introduce me as double-A, if from your cell phone as CR2032, and so on. We batteries all have the same name depending on our design. By the way, the ‘X’ in my name stands for ‘experimental.’  

 

      There are two orders of batteries, rechargeable, and single use. The most common single-use batteries are A, AA, AAA, C, D. 9V, and lantern types. Those dry-cell species use zinc, manganese, lithium, silver oxide, or zinc and carbon to store electricity chemically. Please note they all contain toxic, heavy metals.

     Rechargeable batteries only differ in their internal materials, usually lithium-ion, nickel-metal oxide, and nickel-cadmium.

 

      The United States uses three billion of these two battery types a year, and most are not recycled; they end up in landfills. California is the only state which requires all batteries be recycled. If you throw your small, used batteries in the trash, here is what happens to them.

 

     All batteries are self-discharging. That means even when not in use, they leak tiny amounts of energy. You have likely ruined a flashlight or two from an old, ruptured battery. When a battery runs down and can no longer power a toy or light, you think of it as dead; well, it is not. It continues to leak small amounts of electricity. As the chemicals inside it run out, pressure builds inside the battery’s metal casing, and eventually, it cracks. The metals left inside then ooze out. The ooze in your ruined flashlight is toxic, and so is the ooze that will inevitably leak from every battery in a landfill. All batteries eventually rupture; it just takes rechargeable batteries longer to end up in the landfill.

 

      In addition to dry cell batteries, there are also wet cell ones used in automobiles, boats, and motorcycles. The good thing about those is, ninety percent of them are recycled. Unfortunately, we do not yet know how to recycle batteries like me or care to dispose of single-use ones properly.

 

     But that is not half of it. For those of you excited about electric cars and a green revolution, I want you to take a closer look at batteries and windmills and solar panels. These three technologies share what we call environmentally destructive embedded costs.”

      NM got redder as he spoke. “Everything manufactured has two costs associated with it, embedded costs and operating costs. I will explain embedded costs using a can of baked beans as my subject.

 

 

      In this scenario, baked beans are on sale, so you jump in your car and head for the grocery store. Sure enough, there they are on the shelf for $1.75 a can. As you head to the checkout, you begin to think about the embedded costs in the can of beans.

     The first cost is the diesel fuel the farmer used to plow the field, till the ground, harvest the beans, and transport them to the food processor. Not only is his diesel fuel an embedded cost, so are the costs to build the tractors, combines, and trucks. In addition, the farmer might use a nitrogen fertilizer made from natural gas.

      Next is the energy costs of cooking the beans, heating the building, transporting the workers, and paying for the vast amounts of electricity used to run the plant. The steel can holding the beans is also an embedded cost. Making the steel can requires mining taconite, shipping it by boat, extracting the iron, placing it in a coal-fired blast furnace, and adding carbon. Then it’s back on another truck to take the beans to the grocery store. Finally, add in the cost of the gasoline for your car.

     But wait - can you guess one of the highest but rarely acknowledged embedded costs?” NM said, then gave us about thirty seconds to make our guesses. Then he flashed his lights and said, “It’s the depreciation on the 5000-pound car you used to transport one pound of canned beans!”

      NM took on a golden glow, and I thought he might have winked. He said, “But that can of beans is nothing compared to me! I am hundreds of times more complicated. My embedded costs not only come in the form of energy use; they come as environmental destruction, pollution, disease, child labor, and the inability to be recycled.”

 

     He paused, “I weigh one thousand pounds, and as you see, I am about the size of a travel trunk.” NM’s lights showed he was serious. “I contain twenty-five pounds of lithium, sixty pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic. Inside me are 6,831 individual lithium-ion cells.  It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. For instance, to manufacture each auto battery like me, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just - one - battery.”

 

      He let that one sink in, then added, “I mentioned disease and child labor a moment ago. Here’s why. Sixty-eight percent of the world’s cobalt, a significant part of a battery, comes from the Congo. Their mines have no pollution controls, and they employ children who die from handling this toxic material. Should we factor in these diseased kids as part of the cost of driving an electric car?” 

 

      NM’s red and orange light made it look like he was on fire. “Finally,” he said, “I’d like to leave you with these thoughts. California is building the largest battery in the world near San Francisco, and they intend to power it from solar panels and windmills. They claim this is the ultimate in being ‘green,’ but it is not! This construction project is creating an environmental disaster. Let me tell you why.

 

     The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, they also need gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium-diselenide, and cadmium-telluride, which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the workers, and the panels cannot be recycled.

 

      Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fiberglass, and the hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. Sadly, both solar arrays and windmills kill birds, bats, sea life, and migratory insects.

 

     NM lights dimmed, and he quietly said, “There may be a place for these technologies, but you must look beyond the myth of zero emissions. I predict EVs and windmills will be abandoned once the embedded environmental costs of making and replacing them become apparent. I’m trying to do my part with these lectures.

      Thank you for your attention, good night, and good luck.” NM’s lights went out, and he was quiet, like a regular battery. 

 

 

A modest proposal

In the Twitterverse, Darwinian evolution seems to be alive and well. New species are thriving, mostly due to their  abhorrent nature. One of these, I have named Twittertrogs. (AKA twitter troglodytes). These are rabid liberals whose innate sense of entitlement renders them incapable of discussion with anyone who doesn't agree with them. Having a discussion with many liberals is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. The bird struts about the board knocking over pieces, shitting on the board, then struts off, firmly believing it won the game, also pecking the crap out of anyone trying to curb its destructive behavior. 

One need only look at the basic beliefs of the generic liberal to understand this tendency. The basic tenant of the liberal is that people cannot and should not make decisions for themselves. unless specifically approved by the "narrative". This means that they adore a powerful, intrusive and authoritarian government, suppression of free speech and definitely of critical thinking.   

The average person cannot make truly moral decisions, according to the liberal mindset. They must be curtailed and contained by force if need be. AOC famously stated that anyone who supported Trump should be incarcerated and "reprogrammed". If that sounds like something from the Chinese Communist Party, it is, and she, like most progressive liberals, agree with the CCP in most things. An elite group of powerful and "enlightened" individuals should make decisions for everyone, enforced by the military and police if necessary. Pelosi had no problem putting the Capitol under martial law for an indefinite period to make sure the Democrats got what they wanted, and by force if needed. Unconstitutional? Yes, but Liberal Democrats really don't give a shit about the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. 

Unfortunately, their dystopic and myopic view of society and government does not work. San Francisco is a perfect example of liberal created dystopia. Everywhere leftist local governments exist, so does increased violent crime, social injustice, anti-family and anti- white, anti Asian anti Jew rhetoric and social behavior. The Democrats have successfully turned parts of our country into third world shitholes. Their idea of equality is to drive down everyone to a common level of misery and social dysfunction with a small group of wealthy and powerful people living high on the hog on their dime.

The Democratic Party of today is a near perfect reflection of the Nazis in 1932 post Reichstag fire Germany. The SA (Sturm Abteilung) of today is Antifa and BLM, while the DOJ takes the role of the SS (Schusstaffel) and Gestopo. The strategy of the Nazi party was to manufacture a crisis and blame it on a certain group or groups. Todays Jews are Christian, white and members of traditional families. Asians are a target of black activists because they pose a threat to the minority status employed by and enjoyed by black activists. 

Stalin said he brought the country to its knees by control of the media, control of travel and especially disarming the public. When only the police have guns, only the police decide what you can and cannot do. Period. This has been true for every tyranny in history, every single one. 

The liberals do not belong in control, ever. They can be good as a check against the rampant greed of the business man and big business. That is all. No liberal can say no to a new tax , nor can they stop spending other people's money. They also cannot keep from overreach in their tenure in public office. 

Critical Race Theory, "WOKE" and "gender equlity" / "gender fluidity" are all abhorrent in terms of the moral, social and financial disasters they cause. Hypocrisy and a sense of entitlement are both hallmarks of the liberal mindset, as well as being necessary to accept the liberal narrative. Just scroll through a few liberal posts of Twitter is rife with liberals who demonstrate the above characteristics. Take a look for yourselves. 2022 may be a very interesting year, in the sense of the old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times"

New Year's Resolution: Keep it simple, stupid.

 

When I read the news, I often have to stop and rewind because I find my mind balking at accepting the possibility that anyone can be so dumb, ignorant, evil, midguided, etc. Then I reread what I just read, taking off my almost-70 glasses and make it in context of the current woke/liberal democrat country. Unfortunately, most of it not only makes sense, but is inevitable in that context. 

I have done a fair amount of reading on the liberal left and what they say vs what their core political platforms actually are. The basis of political liberalism is the idea that individuals cannot make moral choices left to their own devices. The irony of the "democratic" party not basically believing in democracy as viable is quite bitter in taste, but considering the progressive democrat as an individual and a group, this is unsurprising. The present Democratic Party seems to think the novel 1984 is a political guidebook, not a cautionary tale. 

in 1984, the government has taken the extreme progressive position that it must control everything, for the good of the people, of course. The police enforce correct behavior, thought and speech. If one deviates from that set of parameters, one is captured, tortured, broken and reformed into a harmless, if not coherent, person; or they may just kill you. 

AOC publicly stated that she made a list of people who should be placed in one of the old Japanese internment camps from WWII and "rehabilitated" into correct thinking, as well as being punished for supporting President Trump. Of course the MSM never said much about this. It is scary to think that a prominent Democratic Congresswoman would want to flout the Constitution she swore to uphold and protect, but what most people don't hear about is how pervasive the support for her idea was among Democrats, both in and outside government. 

What ideas are priority in the progressive mind? Mostly that Whites should be subjugated. Groups like BLM, which the progressives publicly adore, believe there sould be a black supremacist aprtheid state where only non-whites should have poser. This goes hand in hand with the revisionist history movement, Critical Race Theory and removal of anything "too White". Anyone questioning this madness is, of course, racist. 

2022 promises to be interesting.

Female asses matter, lives of the vulnerable, not so much.

 

https://www.foxnews.com/media/chris-cuomo-sexual-misconduct-allegation-cnn-firing

Chris Cuomo was fired for sexual "misconduct" and covering up his brother's (Governor Cuomo) "sexual misconduct". Wrong reason. Andrew Cuomo is guilty of negligent homicide in the deaths of hundreds of elderly patients who were warehoused in nursing homes full of Covid patients at his order. Trump literally sent a Navy Ship with thousands of quarantine units that Cuomo refused to use to make a political show against Trump. Chris Cuomo covered this up. Andrew Cuomo killed hundreds if not thousands of NY elderly for the sake of political gain and moved his own mother out of a nursing home prior to doing this because he was well aware that his move would terminate the lives of untold thousands of elderly patients. They should both be held accountable for these deaths. 

I am ashamed that our society holds the lives of older people as so unimportant. Cuomo is fired from CNN for touching (allegedly) some woman's backside, but his role in coverup of literal murder by proxy isn't even an issue. Same for Andrew Cuomo. He is brought down by allegations of "sexual misconduct" , not rape, but not even a mention of the loss of lives he caused, all of which could have been saved, if not for his Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

We, as a society have been brainwashed to accept the deaths of babies and old people without concern. A woman's convenience and feelings can brings down a powerful governor because of the "Me Too" mentality, but nobody cares about the rights of the unborn and the elderly. Yes, both Cuomo brothers belong in jail, but not for the reasons being used. It is both sad and disgusting that this is happening with not one mention of the thousands of lives these two criminals have callously betrayed and cut off, and that is a damning charge against our liberal woke society. Their deaths , the deaths of the most vulnerable in our sick society, just don't matter enough to even discuss. Copping  a feel of some woman's ass, however, is  enough to bring down a dynasty in NY. 

I am not condoning sexual harassment by any means, but our lopsided and perverse social perspective is simply horrible. What is wrong with our media and our society? Our priorities could not be more wrong, but most of you enlightened people won't care, because asses matter, people do not. And so it goes.
