The Purpose of Government
[A] wise and frugal government ... shall restrain men from
injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good
government…The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on
certain occasions….†--Thomas Jefferson

Epstein's World
John P Poynter
The reach of Jeffrey Epstein's operation could be 'earth-shattering' -- 17 Aug 2022 --
There's still lots of information about this matter available to the police, the FBI, etc. Why is no one following up? Why has this whole situation sunken out of site of everyone? Why is it being covered up? Most importantly, what political figures are involved?
Tim responds:
I speculate with absolutely no evidence that perhaps the raid on Trump's home was an effort to find evidence Trump may have been holding related to Epstein. I wonder if Trump didn't have a hole card with that and perhaps that is why the FBI took the huge risk of breaking all precedent and physically raiding the President's home? It could be Trump was holding something he could use, and they were terrified of what he might have.

Bad Drug Deal
Steven Schueler
Tim adds:
And the drug companies may lower prices for medicare but raise them on everybody else. That's what you do when you are forced into a bad deal.
New tax on pharmaceutical drugs from the 'inflation reduction act', really the slush fund and IRS bloating act:
Prescription drug pricing negotiation noncompliance excise tax
The bill seeks to achieve its goal of lowering prescription drug costs
for Medicare patients by imposing a nondeductible excise tax on
manufacturers, producers, or importers that fail to enter into
negotiated drug pricing agreements. The tax would apply to each sale
made during specified "noncompliance periods.â€
Observation: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) expect that no pharmaceutical company would fail to negotiate. As a result, no direct revenue gain is estimated to be raised from this excise tax provision. Each pharmaceutical company likely will assess strategic options for their portfolios and pipelines, which may lead to identifying anticipated and potentially unintended effects of the law, including:
Pharma adjusting
strategic and operational levers to create value and sharpen focus on
cost management, such as delivering ROI from automation and digital
innovations, applying accelerated drug development lessons from
COVID-19 to post-pandemic business, and implementing other approaches
to reduce cycle times and decrease costs;
Higher launch prices,
with companies expecting drugs to be negotiated for discounts after
nine (small molecule) or 13 (biologics) years post launch;
Limited patent settlements that technically allow limited generic/
Re-evaluation of discounts provided in the commercial market;
Re-evaluation of value provided through copay and patient assistance programs;
Removal of product(s) from the US market; and
Longer term, re-focusing drug development on assets less likely to be a
top Medicare drug and/or exploring lifecycle options to shift sales to
newer products.

Propaganda

Here is an Orwellian article written in 2015 about the nature of propaganda. It sounds frighteningly familiar these days.

White People Banned from Common Areas in UC Berkeley Dorms
Selwyn Duke

If white parents refused to send their kids to Berserkely, this would change fast. The problem is that there are too many liberal whites who are tolerant of, or even support, policies such as this.

Reverse Jim Crow!
This is just punishing people for the mistakes of their ancestors. It's monstrous.
It's also horribly illegal.
Martin Luther King is rolling over in his grave. So much for the dream of a colorblind society.

Climate and the Huns
Richard Cronin
To all those horse-lovers out there.
The Huns were forced out of their native lands east of the Caspian Sea due to a mega-drought, caused by powerful and sustained La Niña conditions.
"The first and worst megadrought took place around 360 AD, followed by a second decline starting in the 430s, reaching its driest period around 480.†Of course, with such powerful La Niña conditions, the Huns excelled with such dry hard ground, astride their small, nimble ponies.
https://www.medievalists.net/2014/02/did-a-megadrought-force-the-huns-to-invade-europe/
As the years passed, powerful El Niño conditions re-asserted and drenching rains flooded Europe. The small, nimble ponies of the Huns were mired in the mud. The Huns were forced to abandon them.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulrodgers/2016/05/28/why-the-mongol-horde-retreated-from-europe/?sh=205f15ec38e4
The greatest Thoroughbred racers of the 20th Century were powerful "mudders†such as ‘Man ‘O War’ and ‘Citation’. They plowed their way thru the mud.
And so it was when the El Niño returned. The heavily-armored European knights rode astride their massive Purcherons, the best "mudder†as you could wish. Swinging their maces, the knights rode down upon the scattered Huns. The infantry, drawn from the farm boys of Europe, knew their terrain and the passable footpaths. They pursued with blood in their eyes. The slaughter was awful.
And so empires dissolve — due to the press upon the Earth of gravitational forces from planetary rotation, Solar tidal pumping, precession of the equinoxes, obliquity, orbital eccentricity, and planetary alignments.
The ancients knew of the movements of celestial bodies and so they had an inkling of how the heavens decided man’s fate.

Visit to the Ozark Hilton
Timothy Birdnow
I have been quite bad about going to the Ozark Hilton, that dazzling jewel in the hills, the best shack the garbage could provide. I hadn't been going because I haven't really wanted to be so far away from home with an aged father and a sick wife, and it's tough on me physically as well. In the last year Ive only been there about three or four times - and that's inadequate for a place like that, which requires a good deal of attaention. You don't build a cabin in the deep woods out of mismatched debris and expect it to hold up without maintenance.
So Friday I decided to go. It was nice weather - warm but not too hot - and I hit the road fairly early for me (by 10 a.m.; I usually get a late start, primarily because I wait until I have evacuated my bowels lest I am forced to go on the road or worse, on my cinder block "privvy" with the green flies biting my posterioir.)
Usually I have several stops but this time all I needed was ice and a stop at the hardware store. I wanted to get some plastic roofing panels to cover my porch, lest it rot away. All I neeeded was the panels; I could have them up in probably under an hour, probably under half an hour.
So I stopped at Lowes on the way. But Lowes had the entire aisle I needed to be down closed and the guy said "come back in half an hour." I told him "or never" and left. I had to trek through this enormous store, sucking for air from my heart conditioon, only to be told to come back later!
So I left and stopped at a Home Depot further down the road. I got my roofing, no problem, and headed on down the road.
The drive was fine; I was listening to the radio and had the windows down, enjoying the road. A little too much traffic but it was one lovely day! I didn't even have to stop at for my usual outhouse visitat the state park! Things were definitely going my way!
Still, it's a long drive. 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic and how much I have to stop.
I turned off of Highway 67 onto 34 and found that the road was STILL closed in spots. I had to wait at the 34/St. Francis river bridge, where they have said bridge down to one lane. Then in Piedmont the whole highway was closed and I had to detour around via the Cloearwater Lake road. I really don't understand why they start projects at the same time and then don't finish them. MODOT should do things one at a time and finish what they start.
At any rate the detour means fewer people on the highway once you get past the turn back onto iti, something I found pleasing. Most people stayed on the detour all the way to the end.
So I made my turn oonto the "road" which is now overgronw where it meets the highway and hardly visible, especially to me as my eyesight isn't what it used to be. But I found it and squeezed my truck between the tightly spaced trees to drive down the hill to my famous luxury resort.
All was as I had left it, a good thing. I had feared the front door would be open, because I had to rehang it last time and it wasn't fitting quite right. But it was still shut. Good; if that door were open it would be an invitation for every critter on God's Green Earth to either nest there or at least forage for food. I've had some amazing damage done by varmints - some small varmints. Had a rat with blue eyes living in there. Blue eyes! I kid you not! Cute as a bunny and amazingly beautiful face for a rat, but he was a destructive little love child, knocking over my oil lamps and everything else and tearing up my blankets and pillows and whatnot. I felt terrible when I put poison out for him, but what are you going to do? I'm live and let live provided everyone is reasonably respectful to each other. He was disrespecting me and the house.
Plus rats can carry diseases, something that didn't exactly thrill me.
At any rate I was quickly unloaded (boy, it's so much easier since I finally cut through that fallen tree blocking the road and can park at the door!) and began working on the roof. Well, not exactly working; I just got the panels out and laid them on the ground in preparations.
Something smacked me in the back of the head. I didn't know what it was, but thought it likely a June Bug type insect. When it did it a second time I realized I was in trouble and began trying to get the heck out of there, but it was too late. This was no June Bug, but a wasp sentry. BAM! It flew around and stung me right in the forehead. It may sound strange but I was grateful it didn't get my eyes. A was sting in the eye would probably mean blindness, if only temporary (and there is every reason to think it would not be) and I would be in deep doo-doo. How do you drive three hours with such an injury?
I high-tailed it out of there and wound up sitting in a plastic chair in my "yard" by my truck.
The wasp didn't like that but I was outside of his security perimeter. I saw him buzzing about angrily, taking flight if I looked like I was coming back that way. Unfortunately he was between me and the cabin door, and while you can walk around it's a perilous trip with supplies as there are invisible holes in the ground that can lay you out if you step in them (they are covered with fallen leaves.) I made one trip by that route to the cabin, just enough to get some stuff there. I tried sitting on the porch but something smacked me in the chest, no doubt another friendly warning from my pal. I decided discretion is the better part of valor and went back to my seat out in the yard.
I HATE not being the top of the food chain, especially to some damnable stinging insect!
So nothing was done. My roofing material is sitting in a wood pile, waiting for me to put it up some day. That day may not come for a while; at this time of year wasps and bees and other such critters get quite aggressive. I've been stung down there before in August. They don't like me hanging about at that time.
So the trip was a bust in terms of what I had intended to accomploish.
But it wasn't the end of the world. I sat out in the yard until it started getting late and my friends stopped buzzing around. I then hustled my remaining gear up to the cabin without incident. Spent the evening sitting on the porch, enjoying the nice evening.
It was a nice evening too.
I had trouble with my kerosene lanterns. Two new ones I had just bought wouldn't work; the little wheel that moves the wick broke and just spun, not raising or lowering the wick. One of them I had already lit and was trying to turn down; it flamed and soon was spouting fire. I managed to get it out but had to set it aside. The other new one wouldn't hold the wick either. Cheap Chinese junk! But it's all I can find at Walmart when I look for them. I am going to have to order a good lantern or two from Amazon, I guess.
My armadillo friend made an appearance as usual. Only one this time - again. I fear the worst for his or her mate. And, as armadillos are scarce in those parts, I fear the poor critter will have alonely life now that bachelorhood has been forced on the ugly little thing.
Now this armadillo lives under the cabin, something giving me a bit of pause as I just learned they can carry leprosy. I don't care to have body parts falling off of me, even if popping out a glass eye might make an interesting parlor trick. I like my eyes to remain working and in my skull. Ditto the rest of me.
But I don't come in actual contact with the critter. He's just a house guest, using a space I do not use.
So the night fell and it was black, black, black. I guess it became overcast, but you culdn't see anything beyond the limits of my lanterns. And even inside it wasn't that bright as I was only using about five lights (I use 8 to 10 when I can.) It became a little chilly and so I went inside to eat my supper - a deli sandwhich from the local Schnucks grocery store in St. Louis. I used to cook down there but it was a pain and I stopped one winter (who wants to be out in the cold barbequing on a weber grill?) Now I eat almost exclusively some sort of sandwhich. I sometimes stop at the local Subway in Piedmont on the way and buy one.
I hadn't gotten very much sleep the night before and despite my best intentions fell asleep watching the movie Gravity on DVD. I don't know what I will do when they phase out DVD players. I have a battery operated one that I can plug into a 12 volt battery, so run it all night. Since I can't see well enough to read anymore it's the main source of entertainment once the sun goes down.
Unfortunately as I was leaving the bag the player was in ripped and it fell to the ground. I have to hope it didn't break.
No sign of wasps the next moring, and I did my morning busiess quickly on my cinder block toilet then loaded up. I had a hard time getting the truck turned around; some days are like that. Some days it seems the forest is closing in and you have very little room. Others it seems like you are in a parking lot and it's the easiest thing in the world. But this time it was tight, and I had to turn around repeatedly to eventually get facing the right direction.
I bumbed a couple of trees too. I am determined to tear that once beautiful pickup to shreds!
At any rate, I was soon off and all went smoothly. Didn't even have to stop at the T.K. Birednow Memorial Outhouse on the way home! All was right with the world!
Not sure when next I'll visit. I want to wait until the wasps stop raising Cain. But that might be October, and that will be too late for useful work down there. I really need that roof on the porch, or the porch will rot away.
Thus concludes another exciting adventure in the wilds of southern Missouri. Hope everyone enjoyed the tale, even though not a lot happened this trip.

It is fair to ask just what Hunter Biden offered a de facto Chinese government entity that would justify paying him nearly $5 million. For those who say it was his keen expertise and insight, keep in mind, this was at the peak of his addictions and debts.

It is fair to ask just what Hunter Biden offered a de facto Chinese government entity that would justify paying him nearly $5 million. For those who say it was his keen expertise and insight, keep in mind, this was at the peak of his addictions and debts.

Doubling Down
Timothy Birdnow
Given we now know the vaccine doesn't prevent the spread of Covid, nor does it keep the vaccinated from getting sick and it only lasts three months, and it is implicated in multiple deaths and illnesses, why does the WHO put that at the top fo the list? For that matter, we now know the social distancing and masking didn't work yet here we are being told to do exactly what failed during the pandemic. Now why do you suppose that is?
I guess the Chinese want to keep this going in the West.
World Health Organization (WHO)
We’re still living with COVID-19, even if cases seem low. Help less people get sick by taking six simple steps:
1ï¸âƒ£ Get vaccinated
2ï¸âƒ£ Keep a safe distance
3ï¸âƒ£ Wear a mask
4ï¸âƒ£ Cover sneezes/coughs
5ï¸âƒ£ Open windows
6ï¸âƒ£ Clean your hands
Your health is precious.

Dark Times
Maurizio Morabito
BIDEN: "This administration began amid a dark time in America.â€
He's right, it was pretty dark in the basement he spent the whole campaign in!!
Tim adds:
You might say the dark times are mushrooming in Biden's basement.

The Day After Atlas Shrugged
Bob Clasen
What happens next after Atlas Shrugs? The Billionaire capitalists pledge to return, after the lights go out in New York. But will this be a return to "democracy†with all its failings, or a new world order run by the Titans of Galt’s Gulch?
Tim adds:
Plato said Oligarchy is the last stage before true democracy, which almost immediately devolves into chaos and a dictator. So Atlas Shrugs and we have a democracy. What is coming? Better practice your goosestepping.

Lack of Hurricanes "Ominous" to MSM
Roy W. Spencer
Many hurricanes so far this season (if they had occurred) would be "ominous". But guess what no hurricanes so far is? "Ominous". WaPo creates climate anxiety out of nothing.

Republicans Censure Maricopa Co. Election Supervisor
Timothy Birdnow
Republicans in Maricopa County, AZ. are calling for the ouster of the Republicans County Election Supervisor for denying there was fraud in the 2020 election.
Intellectual Conservative has the story:
Republicans in Maricopa County, AZ. are calling for the ouster of the Republicans County Election Supervisor for denying there was fraud in the 2020 election.
Intellectual Conservative has the story:
The censure of Gates began, "Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates has
made and continues to make disparaging public comments about Republican
Arizona Representatives and Republican candidates during interviews,
all while seeming to support Democrat candidates running against them.â€
The LD-3 GOP first cited a statement Gates made after the primary election on August 2, in which every Trump-endorsed candidate in the state won their races. "The election last night was a catastrophe for the Arizona Republican Party,†he said, "and, I would argue, our democracy.â€
Next, the LD-3 GOP cited remarks Gates made during an interview on August 5. "I fear that if we continue to nominate people who deny the truth, then what may have to happen is that we lose elections,†he said. "I think the only way back is by humiliation at the ballot box, and the problem is the Democrats aren’t strong enough to do that. They’re still arguing that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, even though we’ve had numerous audits in Maricopa County, other independent examinations to show that that’s simply not the case. These folks continue to push this story and that is corrosive to our democracy. There’s no basis for it. And what it is doing is sowing doubt in our democracy. When we’re talking about the past and basically dredging up conspiracy theories, then we’re doing a disservice to the voters.â€

Vax Causes Miscarriages
Timothy Birdnow
Naomi Wolf is a detestable person, but even she has to admit there is blood on the hands of the technocrats who wished the Covid vaccine on us.
Nearly half of pregnant women who received it miscarried!
From the Florida Standard:
Naomi Wolf is a detestable person, but even she has to admit there is blood on the hands of the technocrats who wished the Covid vaccine on us.
Nearly half of pregnant women who received it miscarried!
From the Florida Standard:
As first reported by American Greatness, research released by feminist activist and author Dr. Naomi Wolf through her website The Daily Clout indicates that 44 percent of pregnant women in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trial lost their babies.
Wolf, who runs a crowd-sourced analysis project of 300,000 pages of Pfizer documents ordered released in a January ruling by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas, appeared on Steve Bannon’s show "War Room†on Tuesday.
"Women will understand how tragic this is. Pfizer took those deaths of babies, those spontaneous abortions and miscarriages, and recategorized them as ‘recovered result adverse effects.’
In other words, if you lost your baby, it was categorized by Pfizer as a resolved adverse event, like a headache that got better,†Wolf told Bannon in an emotional interview.]From the Florida Sentinel:

What Did Trump Have?
Timothy Birdnow
I have been wondering if Donald Trump didn't have some records that he was keeping as a life insurance policy. I wonder if he didn't hold a trump card (pun intended) to use if they really went after him.
Maybe some documents showing who was involved with Jeffrey Epstein? Or some other dirty. Washington is so corrupt that if one man held documentation on the corruption he could potentially trigger a political armageddon.
Bill Clinton defeated his impeachers by keeping just such a list. George Stephanopoulis said Clinton would unleash "sexual armageddon" if pushed too far, and he had over 900 raw FBI files to back him up. Strangely, the Senate Republicans were terrified of impeachment. They set the rules in such a way as to make the impeachment a farce. They refused to interview Betty Curry, for example, who undoubtedly knew everything that was happening. They refused to call corroborating witnesses to Clinton's screwing around (there were multiiple interns who had been treated in the same way as Monica Lewinsky but were less receptive. Granted, one was shot while sitting in a Starbucks by a "stray bullet".)
Then Majority Leader Trent Lott was visibly sweating through the entire proceeding, and looked relieved when the not guilty vote came in.
I believe they were being blackmailed by the Clinton Crime Family Inc.
I wonder if Trump didn't take an insurance policy out when he left office.
That would explain the raid, which was a precipitous decision and unprecedented. They may have known what he had and were desperate to get it from him.
That would also explain why they have yet to actually charge Trump with any major crime. They must first get any potential weapons from his possession.
They know they can convict Trump in a D.C. court for just about anything, but they have been slow to charge him (and thus prevent him from running.) I think this theory explains why.
Trump may be a braying jackass but he's no fool. I doubt he was keeping this evidence in his sock drawer.
And as he still appears quite confident I suspect the raid failed to find what he was holding.
It may be he was holding nothing and the raid found nothing as a result. It may be that Trump had some records he accidentally took with him. But I think this story is a long way from over.
IF Trump holds such documents I hope he releases them to multiople sources and triggers doomsday in D.C. It's past time we blew the lid off that slimy outhouse and saw the gangsters who now run the U.S. government get their just deserts.
