As expected Dementia Joe is blaming Trump for the disaster in Afghanistan. I’m surprised Blackie isn’t blaming Harper yet. Western countries seem to have leaders that are more interested in protecting their own images, rather than stick up for the values we used to have. Can we ever expect to have great leaders again? The fascist states of Russia and China must laugh at us. Its always someone else’s fault.
Its A Good Thing Dementia Joe Is On Vacation.
Taliban enter Kabul and demand SURRENDER.
As the Taliban advance accelerates, the US is scrambling to evacuate more than 10,000 American citizens from the capital, with officials said to be trying to strike a deal for Taliban fighters not to descend on Kabul until the US can pull everyone out.
However, a senior US official told the New York Times the Taliban have warned the US it must cease airstrikes or else its extremist fighters will move in.
Rule by algorithms
As the number of people getting spanked by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for posting items that liberals don’t like continues to grow, its unlikely that the motivation has to do with striving for commercial success. What successful business plan aims to drive away customers?
In the name of combating hate speech, violence, conspiracy theory, etc., Internet platforms are removing not just advocacy, but knowledge, in a wide-ranging effort that may help the companies create a more frictionless, commercially successful product, but will impede the past from chastening the present. If the aim is preventing the spread of hateful ideas, nothing could be more counter-productive that cleaning away the record of their real-world impact.
Smallpox Vaccine
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Smallpox vaccine is less safe than other vaccines routinely used today. The vaccine is associated with known adverse effects that range from mild to severe. Mild vaccine reactions include formation of satellite lesions, fever, muscle aches, regional lymphadenopathy, fatigue, headache, nausea, rashes, and soreness at the vaccination site
For some reason the history of smallpox vaccines isn’t quite as cut and dry as the memes on FaceBook suggest.
They Thought They Were Free
Excerpt from pages 166-73 of They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45. They interviewed 10 Germans who talked about what it was like during the transition from normal to crazy Nazi nightmare. How it happened and how so many people went along with it.
I could not find this on bitchute, rumble or odysee. And yes there are a lot of ominous parallels to today.

Just Imagine
Take a moment to put yourself into the mind of a North American Leftist. Read this and watch the enclosed video.
Now imagine taking the side of the totalitarian regime oppressing these poor Cubans. For that’s what you MUST DO if you’re not a hypocrite and a member of the modern Left.

Lord Black
I found the first half of this a bit slow but it got much better around the 55 minute mark when Black started talking about tutoring people in prison, his relationship with Margaret Thatcher, Reagan and how the House of Lords in the UK works.

Photographs Of The Holodomor
If the Bolsheviks had got their way, the story of the Holodomor might never have been told.
h/t nold – When Whiting Williams continued to write about the horrors he had witnessed in the Workers Paradise (Soviet Union) he found an American Press unwilling to print his stories.
We are so Blind
If you’re only going to watch or listen to one podcast this year it should be this one.
It’s probably the most powerful life story I’ve ever heard. Yeonmi Park has seen and experienced so much more of the world than most of us can ever imagine. Hers is an emotional and gripping journey that goes far beyond escaping from North Korea.

I’m not ashamed to say the ending brought tears to my eyes.
Lest We Forget
Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden would prefer the events of June 4, 1989 go down the memory hole and forever be forgotten but anyone who admires freedom and encourage will choose to remember this event.
Revenge Of The Nerds
Today in Woke history a look back at a battle in the culture wars a lot of people are completely unaware of, GamerGate
Grab a coffee, it’s a long one.
The dynamic is both obvious and predictable (just like it played out in the New Atheism Movement). Article after article appeared, weaving a bogus narrative of an “overwhelmingly male” gamer identity that felt “threatened” by the inclusion of women into their sphere. Male gamers just didn’t want to change themselves or the gaming-community “status quo,” as though they’re afraid of being decolonized, if you will. Alongside these, others argued in contradictory fashion that most gamers are women anyway.
The gaming and gaming-community “status quo” is the most relevant of their targets, however. Part of this has to do with the way (male) gamers behave with each other and with (or around) female gamers. Another part of it has to do with the content of the games themselves.
Butter made from coal….mmmmm…sounds yummy….
As we stumble through week 78 (or close to it) of the Covid crisis, it’s important to put our current experience in perspective. When you erase price signals from a sector of the economy, dysfunction becomes a feature, not a bug. Central planners will blame everything for their failures with the exception, of course, of central planning.
The video below is from an enterprising former retail sales worker turned citizen historian who goes by the name of TIK (The Imperator Knight) who now makes a living producing Youtube videos on military history and economics. In this video, he analyzes the failures of central planning in Nazi Germany in the coal and railway industry. You can see some important parallels that apply to our response to Covid.
TIK’s videos are extensively researched and informative. His ongoing analysis of the battle of Stalingrad (now up to 23 episodes) is well worth watching.
