The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

In the spirit of Henry Livingston’s famous poem, this evening we learn how to smoke a pipe and something about sculpting one’s side belly (after all you eat this Christmas season).

Your tips of the past day are much appreciated!

    1. I think ade is all but confirmed at this point. Just two more weeks and it’ll be clear. Actually the doubling every 2-3 days might make it sooner.

    2. https://www.healthing.ca/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus/vaccine-for-coronavirus/breakthrough-infection-could-mean-end-game-for-covid/

      Study finds the double-vaxxed who are later infected are better protected against Delta variant

      Researchers say the antibodies following infection were 1,000 per cent more effective at neutralizing the Delta variant than those produced two weeks after a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

      Funny enough, they didn’t say if they tested unvaccinated people to see if their antibodies had the same high-level of effectiveness but managed to conclude that “The key is to get vaccinated”.

      2. The immune system is more complex than just the antibodies.

        WHERE are the antibodies (blood or mucous)?

        WHAT TYPE of antibodies?

        What about the stored antibodies in memory cells that cannot be measured without a challenge?

        What about killer T cells?

        If you.understnaf the above, you will understand why protection against infection wanes with vaccines, but protection against severe disease does not

        1. Allan, I’m quite certain that everyone on this site .understnafs everything above perfectly.

          1. Didn’t Greta say something about all that .understnafing that’s been going on?

      3. Noticed that the first time around,the other troll,or other face of same troll,posted that as “proof” of vaccines effectiveness.
        Science is hard I guess.
        Must be rightwing violence and terrorism to actually consider the whole picture and Wacist ,cause maths is hard..You have to admire the willfull blindness.
        Unvaxxed must be unpersons so cannot be used in “proper sciencism”

  2. How about another movie? This time, it’s Vigilante Force, starring Kris Kristofferson, Jan-Michael Vincent, Bernadette Peters, and Victoria Principal:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfq0EgCwKQI

    Unfortunately, it’s not all that good, but there are some interesting aspects to it if you’re a movie buff or fan of old TV shows.

    It’s produced by Gene Corman (yup–Roger’s brother). Among the cast are some Corman movie alumni, including Dick Miller (see if you can spot him!).

    Vincent’s role was typical of the independent tough guys he often played in films during the 1970s, such as The Mechanic, White Line Fever, and Damnation Alley. He would star in the TV series Airwolf a few years later.

    The movie was released at key time in the careers of some of the cast members. Ms. Principal would, of course, be in the cast of Dallas, as, apparently, would Andrew Stevens. David Doyle would soon be in the role of Bosley in the series Charlie’s Angels. Also, watch for Loni Anderson before she was in WKRP in Cincinnati, although she’s on screen for a few seconds.

    1. Anti lockdown is now associated with antivaxx which basically means being a racist sexist bigot homophobic knuckle dragger neanderthal. Just wait until it’s clear the vaxx is useless. I took it so sucks for me. I’m just hoping omicron is mild and being vaxxed doesn’t make it too much worse.

    2. Robert, have I mentioned that Canadians aren’t very smart? If they were we would not be up to our eyes in this whu who flu shit. Doing what has been done for two years now and they still can’t catch on. Shooting experimental drugs into their bodies and they still don’t get it. We are being played for the fools we are.

    3. The propaganda has successfully made fear a virtue. The white suburban Karens pushing the schreck uber alles narrative haven’t been meaningfully inconvenienced so far. And never, ever underestimate the extent to which a woman will self-flagellate if it means elevated status in the herd.

      Maybe – maybe – once their babies start dropping dead from blood clots and myocarditis they’ll have second thoughts. But then Munchausens By Proxy pretty much only exists in women, so I’m not even betting on that. Letting them vote was a mistake.

    3. Yes, I really like Revolver and I was blown away when I first heard that song.

      Still love it, but realistically expected Yesterday, or Let it Be to be their #1

  6. “NOTICE OF LIABILITY”
    https://www.howestreet.com/2021/12/action4canada-notices-of-liability-saving-lives-saving-jobs-tanya-gaw/
    Our politicians, ‘medical experts’ and mainstream media are pulling a fast one and can be taken to court!
    Criminal charges can be made against any business following our governments mandate.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LISTENING!
    It definitely will give you hope on what is currently happening is a criminal offense.

    1. Funny thing about Antarctica, there’s always a calamity on the horizon.
      Ten years ago it was the Ross ice shelf.
      The solution for this is of course, more money for research.
      It always is.

      1. “Ten years ago it was the Ross ice shelf.”

        Do they have a name for such an unusual occurrence? I suggest ice berg.

    2. Good I hope it collapses tomorrow Would wipe out a lot of liberal and Democrats on the East coast

  8. Climate emergencies and funding legal battles in Quebec come first.
    Calgary Flames owners pull plug on arena deal
    “Millions in additional costs identified by the city for infrastructure and climate change mitigation make up one of those issues, Flames ownership said, with CSEC being asked to cover $10 million.”
    Mayor Gondek says “I am as disappointed as all of you that this is the way things are ending.”

  9. His [Fauci] Allergy to Placebo Testing 

    From: The Real Anthony Fauci,
    Robert F. Kennedy,

    Most medicinal products cannot get licensed without first undergoing randomized placebo-controlled trials that compare health outcomes—including all-cause mortalities—in medicated versus unmedicated cohorts. Tellingly, in March 2017, I met with Dr. Fauci, Francis Collins, and a White House referee (and separately with Peter Marks from CBER at FDA) to complain that HHS was, by then, mandating 69 doses of sixteen vaccines for America’s children, none of which had ever been tested for safety against placebos prior to licensing. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins denied that this was true and insisted that those vaccines were safety tested. They were unable, however, after several weeks, to provide us a citation for a single clinical trial using an inert placebo against a vaccine. In October 2017, Del Bigtree and Aaron Siri— who both attended these meetings—joined me in suing HHS under the Freedom of Information Act to produce the long-promised safety studies. Ten months after the meeting with Fauci and Collins, on the courthouse steps, HHS admitted that we were, in fact, correct: none of the mandated childhood vaccines had been tested for safety in pre-licensing inert placebo tests.

      1. It’s a passgae from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book:

        The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democacy and Public Health

        I bought it for my kindle < $3.
        Best book I’ve read in many MANY years. I’m 75% into the book.
        That’s a copy/paste of a passage. No link possible.
        Thousands of 5-Star ratings at Amazon.

        1. I also got it on Kindle and am plugging away. It is damning of Fauci and the government health agencies. Something everyone should read. I think Canada’s health agencies should get similar scrutiny since they seem to operate in lockstep.

      3. Bannon interviewed Bobby Kennedy on Saturday.
        Here’s the link.
        https://warroom.org/2021/12/18/episode-1496-fauci-on-trial/
        Kennedy details the plandemic scenarios that have been ongoing since 1999. The first simulation was Anthrax. A few months later there’s an Anthrax attack. Iraq is blamed and America goes to war.
        ‘Why is the CIA involved to the tune of 1.6 Billion annually in vaccine research? This is all administered through Anthony Fauci.
        Because of these new funds to distribute Fauci got a raise of 64% ”
        “Why vaccine research? The CIA is only interested in toppling democratically elected governments.”

  10. And then you have this, the actual news video that will never see the Canadian tv.
    Note the massive, very massive demonstration against the totalitarian dictatorships justified by the politicians on the pretext of the Wuhan flu.
    The thing about marking each person maybe questionable, though.

    https://www.thecrowhouse.com/intrabody.html

    Maybe that was the aim of the Chinese communists all along.

  11. If a Canadian leader wanted to usher in a “Great Reset” wouldn’t the best time to do would it be in the middle of winter?

    Consider the convergence of a food shortage, an energy shortage and a return to stronger measures against COVID. Would this be the perfect trifecta of circumstances for an unscrupulous government to seize total control of the nation?

    If Enbridge Line 5 were shut down*:
    Refineries served by Enbridge in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec would receive approximately 45% less crude from Enbridge than their current demand. The region (Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec) would see a 14.7-million-US-gallons-a-day supply shortage of gas, diesel and jet fuel (about 45% of current supply).

    2. People get hungry and cold and their kids start to suffer, then violence will be unavoidable. The whu who flu crap will be shoved up the arse of anyone who says lockdowns continue.

  14. “We never claimed the jabs would stop Covid infections.” Bullshit.

    Memory Hole: virtually every major health official in the United States has claimed that COVID shots stop the virus

    https://dossier.substack.com/p/memory-hole-virtually-every-major

    “While they now claim otherwise, every single major government health official and pharmaceutical executive has claimed that COVID shots stop the virus. Let’s take a look at what the top government health officials have said on the record about these shots over the past year.”

  15. People who drive electric cars should pay more taxes than people who drive gasoline cars.

    I just read that electric cars are on average 20 % heavier, in fact so much heavier that they require special tires…which means they inflict more damage to the pavement, which will require more repairs or more frequent replacement of the asphalt.

    Truckers pay more taxes because their heavy loads cause damage…so it would be only fair to charge electric car owners more taxes.

  16. Archbishop Viganò’s startling warning to the American people

    https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/12/archbishop_viganos_startling_warning_to_the_american_people.html

    Dear American brothers and sisters! Dear Patriots! this is a crucial moment for the future of the United States of America and of the whole of humanity. But the pandemic emergency, the farce of global warming and the green economy, and the economic crisis deliberately induced by the Great Reset with the complicity of the deep state, are all only the consequence of a much more serious problem, and it is essential to understand it in depth if we want to defeat it. This problem is essentially moral…

    Bold mine and, agreed.

    1. Archbishop Viganò’s letter should have been read at all Masses this past weekend instead of the traditional Christmas Pastoral Letters from diocesan bishops. Actually, it should be read in ALL churches. In my community, some Protestant churches are still gathering for on-line worship only. I know of one that requires “vaccination” in order to enter or else you can worship from the parking lot. It’s madness!

    1. Oooops! Wrong city, but, I’m sure the same sort of people live in Calgary. They certainly do in Edmonton. How else would you explain the election of Mayor Army Jeep?

    1. The craziest excerpt from the actual report:
      ” In individuals aged greater than 30, the rate of a positive COVID-19 test is higher in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated.”

  22. Good and hard.
    Europe’s power crisis keeps getting better and better (Bloomberg story dated Dec. 22nd):

    “European power climbed to a fresh record as France faces a winter crunch, spurring the region’s top aluminum smelter to curb output.

    Electricity for delivery next year surged as much as 6.4 per cent to an all-time high in Germany, Europe’s biggest power market. France, which usually exports power, will need to suck up supplies from neighboring countries to keep the lights on as severe nuclear outages curb generation in the coldest months of the year.”

    https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/europes-power-crunch-shuts-down-factories-as-prices-hit-record

      1. Germany is screwed if the French don’t have enough oversupply from their nuclear plants to keep the sauerkraut cool, and the citizens warm.

    1. I don’t think they can keep this song and dance going forever, people are losing interest. Typically, as viruses mutate, they are more contagious, but less virulent. We have that with Omicron. It should not be a major concern. Going forward we should not see dangerous new variants.

      1. Less dangerous, more threatening. None of the government overreach is based on scientific reality; its all a result of totalitarian ambitions. That said, we should start a pool on when the next “existential threat” variant will be announced.
