Sometimes a squirrel is more than just a squirrel.
Physicists in 1900 basically accepted the Newtonian model of the universe. The only troubling anomaly was that Mercury, as it came into view in its journey around the sun, appeared to be in the “wrong” place. How was this possible?
After much discussion brilliant scientists concluded that it “appeared” to be closer to the sun because the sun’s gravity was bending light rays reflecting off of Mercury on their way to earth. This defied all the “settled science” embraced by classical physicists. It was to them heresy essentially, because by implication it would mean that energy and matter were interchangeable. Indeed a young physicist named Albert Einstein created the most famous equation in history, formulating that exact relationship: e=mc(squared). The longwinded point I’m trying to make is that throughout history the most minor anomalies are often windows into a completely different understanding of the world.
Which brings me to my point.
This event where armed officers took a pet squirrel from an individual in New York opens a Pandora’s box of the horrors of leftist tyranny. The facts of the incident are disturbing enough: an anonymous instigator over 1000 miles away reported a humble man who had rescued a wounded squirrel and made a pet of him for years. The informer’s motives in doing so can only be guessed, but the owner of the pet had made the horrific mistake in today’s America of supporting conservative thought. A cadre of armed officials got a search warrant, rummaged through the man’s property for five hours, illegally questioned his wife about her immigrant status, ultimately seizing the pet and killing it without giving the owner any recourse to save its life.
Now let’s take a look at the universe in which this macabre horrid little leftist “comedy” took place. In a nation overrun by tens of millions of illegal aliens, crushed by rampant crime and gang warfare, enduring a $35 trillion deficit, soul-crushing inflation, a culture of infanticide and child mutilation, sexual dysphoria, and insanity, and waging illegal lawfare against candidates of another party, New York State spent a full day killing a squirrel, that had been a harmless pet cherished by its owner for literally years.
The event in and of itself was just an act of petty cruelty. As a window into a larger universe, however, it is a fissure in the mantle of our world, signaling a cataclysmic eruption that may well end this nation. The tsunami of rage coming from ordinary and loving individuals was quite frankly astonishing.
Has America in the hands of the lunatic left become a powder keg about to explode? Will the power-hungry Democrats and their media minions spew enough hatred that even the most gentile among us will finally say ENOUGH? Does 87,000 newly minted and armed IRS agents offer you comfort or fill you with terror?
Are you sick of this yet?
I was half-aware of this drama, but James Woods highlights it terribly well; and terrible is the adjective to use.
l congratulate Mr Woods’ eloquance and accuracy and timeliness.
they will be talking about Peanut 50 years from now. RIP Mr P ‘Peanut’ Fissure.
I love and admire the giant brain owned and operated by James Woods.
If they’ll do this to a squirrel (and raccoon) … what will they do to you?
The man had a squirrel and a raccoon.
Once upon a time, this would have been viewed as an eccentric curiosity at worst. Conservation officers would have disregarded this as entirely unimportant. Nobody would care if someone had a trash-panda and a tree-rat as pets.
But no, some petty bureaucrat who happens to be the first woman to run the DEC with looks like a Mack Truck gets all pissy about things.
The squirrel in question was the mascot for a wildlife rescue not-for-profit, who made the mistake of moving to New York State. Same with the Raccoon. Supposedly he has paperwork to the effect of these animals would not survive in the wild (or under the care of New York State).
And it seems a Karen from Texas was jealous of P’nut’s success.
Let me suggest … probably unpopularly… that the government eco-police should be out rounding up DANGEROUS animals … namely Pit Bulls and Pit Bull cross breeds … if they want to ACTUALLY protect public safety. Yeah … but a certain demographic (and occupation) are the primary owners and breeders of Pit Bulls … so that will never happen.
They’re much too busy herding illegal aliens bearing tuberculosis across the Southern Border.
She definitely looks like Diesel something or another. Anyways that squirrel was a business asset bringing in cash, as weird as it sounds.
The Democrat establishment in New York is out of control.
I’m waiting for police officers to refuse to even investigate crimes committed by so called persons of color, because it might lead to a confrontation where the police will come under fire from perpetrators who know the police will be charged if they return fire.
That’s already happening. I believe there’s a lot of look the other way going on for many reasons. Can you blame cops for turning into Sgt. Schultz? “I see nussing!”
Peanut was living his best life.. Until the leftists caught wind of his popular you tube channel..
Cant have that..

Everything is illegal.. The process is the punishment and the deep state always wins.. Hail victory :(..
Well that was one of the worst descriptions of the discovery of relativity I’ve ever heard.
Special relativity, which is what e = m c 2 is part of, had nothing to do with the orbit of Mercury. It came out of observations that measurements of the speed of light were the same no matter which direction the earth was moving.
Well, until Einstein did his work, Mercury was a head scratcher for scientists, who could not explain their measurements.
Yeah, but that was general relativity, which came well after e = m c 2 and so on.
Why always Mercury, don’t Venus Mars etc also transit?
Yeah, ’cause that’s entirely the issue here…
Exactly. Nicely stated.
lol. The trying to combine Newtina an Einstein physics??, please let me know when you discover the Grand unification theory.
I have no idea what you are talking about, and I don’t think you do either.
Special relativity is an extension of Newtonian physics, the first step in reconciling Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell’s electromagnetism.
The second step was quantum mechanics, and the combination of quantum mechanics and special relativity is what we have now, called quantum field theory.
General Relativity is about gravity and space-time curvature.
idk, going from Einstein to Peanut is more than a little odd. I think he could have left out the orbital gravity and general relativity part of his argument.
And frankly, while tragic and certainly government overreach, I think the prospect of Trump being imprisoned, or Musk being deported, or the Supreme Court being packed, or future elections being neutered by importing illegals from Central America, all of that is worse than the squirrel.
I wish they’d shut up about the squirrel, because it makes our side look like idiots, when it comes to the big picture.
well scf the squirrel is just what we need to derail all that other stuff. so let’s hear nothing but squirrel talk. better than the meanderings of kamalalala
REMEMBER PEANUT!
“Will the power-hungry Democrats and their media minions spew enough hatred that even the most gentile among us will finally say ENOUGH?”
This has been posted before but it’s always worth another read:

(I think Woods meant to write “gentle” and not “gentile.”)
I wonder how much hay the left will make of that unfortunate typo.
nah, l think he meant genteel.
The original was written by Kipling, “The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon.”
https://www.europeanamericansunited.org/school1/Fiction/kipling/awakened.htm
The left says that we’re fascists who will end democracy.
The right says that squirrels will be killed.
As this inanity goes on, we all know the left wants Trump killed by assassination, or if that does not happen they want him imprisoned, they want all Republicans banished from society, they want all J6 protesters imprisoned, they want the supreme court packed, they want to seize control of the economy, and they want future elections neutered by importing illegals from Guatemala.
C’mon people. Enough about the squirrel. Or the raccoon.
again scf wrongo. oh this is juuuuust getting started.
it is after all, kinda difficult to contain a 30 megaton digital direct hit.
it will play out as it so chooses, the early players dropped the ball and nature is now in control of the situation. nature as includes human nature.
we all need to witness this shakespearean work from 2024.
so until the nxt big social media storm u can ufts
You’re missing the power of symbols. People will respond to Peanut before the things you insist are more important. Of course, they are but, in the meantime, Peanut makes them look like the petty tyrants they are. They must be mocked with memes and harassed with mean tweets.
Yes, very much so. Peanut is a metaphor for the working class. Anyone who missed that is several aces short of a full deck.
What is totally asinine is that you can likely kill squirrels or raccoons freely in New York but you can’t rescue one, although I know nothing of the state. I have a squirrel in my yard who is suggesting to me that he might soon be dead. When they get into buildings they can make a godawful mess.
To paraphrase a line from Star Wars, “These are not the squirrels, we are talking about.”
Such good use of Government resources,just another bureau of Stupid Walks.
Of course this could make attempts at diverting your attention..
Cause “Look Squirrel” will never be seen in the same light again.
The significance of the growing anger,should be obvious,except so many people fail to understand Donald J Trump for President..
Government is waste and destruction.
This is their current “Best Achievement”.
North America is bankrupt.
Too many takers.
The Donald makes Progressives expose their natural insanity.
If my enemies hate “Orange Man”,this is the best reason to vote Trump.
The Uni-Party has beggared the country.
And yet they continue to preach their sanctimonious Rubbish.
The best “F U”.. is Trump for President.
The same evil that wants to rule over us,insists they must murder pet squirrels.
At your expense.
ah Mr Robertson, Mr Woods eloquence has resulted in additional from yourself, tq.
A half-dozen agents of the government, occupied for 6 hours, plus the judge’s time to issue the writ of execution, plus the cost of transportation. What would you guess this cost taxpayers? Now compare that with the cost of one or two 22 long rifle shells.
Depends on what you are shooting with them.
James Woods for president. Sad a blacklisted actor and part time historian makes the most concise comment of where we are. But here we are.
Not exactly on topic, but related… Peanut is discussed here as well… Elon Musk on Joe Rogan.
https://youtu.be/7qZl_5xHoBw?si=4tQytezVv4onYaj8
Go to 1:15:16 to hear a chilling message regarding the election from Musk.
” But here we are.”
Butt scf missed the boat and ain’t with us no more!
The squirrel is symptomatic of the idiocy of the oxymoronic “public health” departments who made everyone’s lives miserable over stupidity that had nothing to do with science during the pandemic. I am still filled with simmering rage over things like my wife driving me to the doctor, helping me get inside and then having to sit six feet away from me after we had to argue that I needed her to stay and not wait out in the car. The guy who threatened to burn down my house to get the unvaxxed out of town acts like it never happened. There has been no acknowledgement, no apology, no chance to express how incredibly angry I still am about all that.
A lot of unresolved anger is being released over the squirrel. I detest squirrels. I am upset over the dead squirrel.
The squirrel is emblematic of the idiocy of society and our culture. Let’s talk about Peanut? Let’s not. I’m as tired of Peanut as I am of Taylor Swift. Tomorrow, Peanut will be yesterday’s news. Thankfully. If only Swift would follow.
This is the nanny / welfare state in Jackboots. This is the color of end state democracies where leviathan has metastasized into all the organs of civil life. The state is everywhere and always the enemy of a free people and the founders knew that their constitutional republic would only survive if the state was constrained by the continuous scrutiny of educated citizens. Anyone who believes that there is one or more justifiable benefit due them from a state beyond national defense and protection from fraud and coercion is not contributing to a real solution.
Speaking of the Leviathan … what in the unHOLY HELL does The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Chemung County Department of Health actually DO? What is their mission statement? Protect us from global warming? Shut your gas meter off if your house is too warm?
“If it saves just one life…” and I laughed and I laughed. Meanwhile we abort more than a half-million a year.
He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
One thing that Department of Environmental Conservation does is form a Special Operations unit. So they can wear black clothes with matching body armour and gas masks and assault rifles. And some armoured personnel carriers.
Do you remember Farley Mowatt’s wonderful book, Owls in the Family? He grew up in a menagerie of Canadian wildlife and learned these animals are far more intelligent and curious than most humans.
You mean Hardly Know It? Owls in the Family was a novel, an entertaining novel, but still a work of fiction.
Liberal Priorities.
Peanut was the worst problem facing the state of New York.

The COVID and squirrel debacles have made a major fact very clear.
Too many people get into politics or work for the government for the wrong reason. These people suck at life and are miserable. Politics and government are not their calling to serve but to rule with iron fists. The more miserable they can make their subjects through bullying the better they think they can feel about themselves. Yet miserable they remain so they double and triple down on their efforts. But as with typical bullies, actual issues that need addressing intimidate them. Thus, bashing thumbtacks with post mauls is all they do.
