I should add this, for honesty's sake: when Sands was going through that for which he is mostly remembered, I had no idea he was a Marxist. I was about 23 at the time and had the media given a fuller report, I cannot say with honest candor that I would have held the same opinion of him. Communists/socialists/leftists/otherformsoftyrannicalvermin were perhaps the major reason for my life being what it had been at the time. They'd murdered much of my family in the ways in which we are most of us well familiar in the days between 1914 and 1946. You might imagine I was no fan of the Soviets, Red Chinese, NAZIs, Democrats, and so forth. I exclude Republicans just to be a dick. Thankyouverymuch. Had I known about his leanings, it may have mitigated my respect for his courage, though I cannot say it is so with certainty. Even in those days I endeavored to give credit where due, even to people I'd have otherwise seen tossed into a woodchipper, and there were several such stellar characters whose acts and/or openly expressed intentions for humanity or some subset thereof, merited such regard. Holding uniformly equitable habits of regard for all is not an easy task. Giving due credit to an enemy can be challenging, particularly if you have not been trained to treat them as honored guests. I am grateful for having been so trained. Being the better man is always the right choice.

I'm not. Perhaps we just parse the words differently. I'm giving credit to a man who lived and died his convictions. Doesn't matter how wrong those convictions may be; that would be an entirely different issue for me. I may curse him for having been a marxist, but I will still respect his actions. It took a pair to do what he did and I must respect that, if I respect nothing else about him. But your point is nonetheless well taken. We see the issue a mite differently, and I emphasize "mite". Communists/socialists murdered more than half my family. I have no love for them whatsoever. Given the power, I would kill them all and face my Maker with a clear conscience.

I have explained that more than once here, but it is very possible you have never seen it. Theye/Themme/Theire: monikers referring to those in real material power in the human world. Some call the "elites", a term that connotes something superior in a positive way, a credit I do not feel Theye are due. And just for completeness sake, I coined these terms long before the weirdos of "gender" perversion decided to make so much fuss and gratuitous, self-serving drama over their so-called pronouns. How so? The Brits have no valid claim on Ireland, the Chinese none on America. I'd call them principled analogs.

That is an error. Give credit where due. If a marxist saved your child's life, would you curse him because he was a marxist? If I hated a man enough to want to kill him, I would still give credit where due. Consider Themme. Theye are pure evil, and yet I have numerous times had to express in this forum my admiration for their skill, patience, and fortitude. That doesn't mean I agree with what they do, but they must be acknowledged for their great cunning and other virtuous qualities, even though they apply them to appalling ends. I'd still wring the life from each of them with my bare hands, if I were able to and h ad no rifle handy. There is virtue in being able and willing to separate qualities and evaluate each according to its merit as such, regardless of what other rot may be in question. Credit where due, the same as with condemnation. Just to be clear, my respect for Sands' actions in his last days does not have to carry over into his other acts. Marxist? Well that's a shame. he's dead, so it is no longer relevant. But his work against the invaders is at least understandable. Would you sit for Chinese invaders here in America? I'd be killing them as I was able and i would have no problem employing guerrilla tactics. One man's traitor is another's freedom fighter. Humans.

I'm not supporting anyone. I am remembering someone with the courage to starve himself to death. I'd do as much even for a filthy Marxist. As for the Brits, they are decidedly not our friends, and here I speak of their "government", and not the people at large. They suckered us into two world wars. That alone should leave any decent man in possession of an IQ regarding the Crown with suspicion and contempt. 0% Irish here. The Brits occupy N. Ireland and should GTFO. That the Irish endeavored to murder as many of them as they could manage, I cannot blame them a whit. The British, along with the Spanish and French are some of the most vile creatures on the planet, politically speaking. That isn't to say anyone is clean of hand. Germans, Hungarians, Italians... You name it: political assholes. An honest man looks at humanity broadly and sees filth, full of violence, ego, morbid greed, and so forth. I just like calling it out. Call it venting or whatever you like, but I will not stand silent in the face of raw evil. I am certainly a gross fool and it may one day get me into real trouble, but I refuse to remain shut. I no longer care shat happens to me. Time is long past for reasonable men to stand tall, rather than cowering in a corner for fear of what might befall them if they speak a blatant truth.

Bump. Because.

We will see soon enough, if even it happens at all. I cannot see the media letting this one slip without a whole shit-ton of jeering fanfare.

I predict that if indeed he is to be arrested on Tuesday, the perpetrators have planned the drama out for maximum effect. He will be cuffed, frog-marched to booking, then to jail, and it will all be done with every tv camera on the planet recording it. My question is, what will his SS detail do? What are they required to do? I cannot imagine they will allow him to be left unprotected in police custody because if those boys are separated from Trump, I'd almost bet money I don't have that he won't survive the event. If Trump's accusations are true and his stated intentions are true, the swamp creatures have an impossibly strong incentive to get him alone so they can administer whatever poison. "We regret to announce that Donald Trump passed away of an apparent heart attack just minutes ago as he was being transported to the Tombs." And so it might go. There would be parades in the streets celebrating with every scumbag leftie bouncing about, half-naked and masturbating wildly for the world to behold. Is there any way he can avoid being taken into custody and separated from his guards? I can only wonder what sorts of exceptions the lefty stooges will make in an effort to get him alone.

They were afraid of catching Clintonitis. Can you blame them?

Fair point about morale, however, I cannot accept yet that this guy is not some sort of psyop plant. That said, your point about things doing the boomerang dance are well taken. Could this actually help in some unintended fashion? With humans one can never be too certain. Nonetheless, we are now being consumed by Themme in open, in your face fashion, unlike in days past when they trod with some considerable care. The level of decay in the average man that this change represents leaves me in grave doubt about the prospects for any real positive change. I maintain in standby mode, watching for some indication that the mean American retains even a shred of self respect. Hell, I'm looking for a shred of basic survival instinct. THus far is appears we are as human lemmings, running headlong toward that precipice to our own destruction with little more impetus behind us than Theire "attaboys". It is wild to watch a species march itself face-first into a concrete wall. I am mentally ready for a fight. I am willing to kill for the sake of everyone's liberties, which I suppose reveals to the world what a chump I am. But I will not lift a finger for people who refuse to help themselves. If truly we are that degraded on the mean, then to hell with it; I then say let us extinguish ourselves, for we merit not another day more. ETA and PS: What we have been seeing for several decades now is pure operant conditioning. The world has become a gigantic Skinner box and we are all subject rats in a huge experiment that at times leaves me suspicious that the conductor thereof are a raft of juvenile lowatts like Beavis and Butthead, going <huh huh>... <huh huh>... as they alter the stimuli and deriving their IQ-free entertainment from watching the subjects jump and change direction. This has got to be the gag reel of all time, and we are all the foobs doing the jumping.

Given the perfectly consistent results of the past 60+ years, I find it something of astonishing to observe that there is so much as a single organically intact human being in America who has yet to dope out the truth there. Prior to LBJ's Great Society (now there's some ironic label-humor for you), black folks were doing pretty good. Families were intact and piecemeal they were making strides away from the dolorous apartheid that was our beloved Jimmy Crow. Since then it has been the downward death spiral into superficiality, weak blown up egos, and race hatred for them, the latter having been nearly extinguished until that cancer called "Obama" got "his people" all worked up with his false claims. What I find amusing, if a bit sad, is that this new and ever so false praise of black people in every media source imaginable, is pumping black people up with all manner of hot air. I've seen, for example, this Wakanda nonsense. Nothing so cruel as telling a homely girl that she is a raving beauty. Back ca. 1990 I wrote a book that I never published. It was a wake up call to black people in that it was a total confabulation about a hidden black society that was outwardly no different from the rest of black African cultures, but was inwardly highly advanced. I admit that part of my motivation had that hint of said cruelty to it, but the greater point of my having written it was to have had it act as the armature of an experiment. I was curious to see whether black people, taken statistically, would pull their heads out of their asses, inspired by my story, and choose to stop playing the victim or the ghetto gangster and make all good for themselves aboard the same boat in which the rest of us find ourselves. It was quite a tale, but in the end I decided against it as my reality-fueled skepticism was stronger than my hope. I was in no mood to have to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life after letting everyone in on the punchline. All this utter nonsense suggesting that the world we know, the technologies and philosophies, were stolen from black Africans, presumably in pander to that very audience, is cruelty of the highest order. I see this going nowhere good, ever.

Are there phone numbers you can dial to speak with a human person?

Such results are the reason even organizations such as mises and RPI lose credibility with me. We live in the age of computers, and this isn't 1950. Many tihngs can be easily automated, such as acknowledgement notes letting a sender of email or some other message type know that they'd received the missive, and can specify whether and how and perhaps even when a response might be forthcoming. So far as I am concerned, there is no valid justification for letting anyone's attempt to make contact seem as if it has dropped into the bit-bucket. It is bad form, very unprofessional, ill-mannered, and leaves you looking like an organization unworthy of one's time and interest. It is, in a word, inexcusable. Boo-hiss.

How could they not be? On Monday I borrow @0% from fed, lend to Harry at 4% with real inflation at 2%. On Tuesday, inflation is 15%, and I'm now getting clobbered at a 13% real loss. Multiply this by millions of loans and my ass no longer belongs to me.

Given the current relevance, I hereby give this one a nudge.

I ask this perhaps stupid question because I don't watch news: is anyone of any impact calling for Fauci's head? So far as I am concerned he should be rendered to Gitmo and tortured wildly until he gives it all up, then forced to testify in trials against those who pull his strings, leading to their convictions and executions, an then himself executed by hanging by hooded men, on Gitmo, his body left to the sharks. My impulse is to bring his entire family to ruin, but I'm working diligently to keep my yap shut on that point since I really don't want to turn into the thing I hate, and I use "hate" advisedly here. Time is here for Amendment XXVIII. ETA: Does it matter whose money paid for the research, other than that we know whose necks to stretch? Fauci was behind it. He cannot deny at this point since the evidence trail is damning.

That may be true, and if so then we have never really been a republic because we have never been sufficiently about Law. Statute <> Law. Tax statutes != Law Drug statutes != Law Vice statutes != Law We are about statutes, the random whim and caprice of a raft of jerkoffs who claim the authority to do nearly anything they want. I see no way in which that qualifies us as an actual republic, but as one in name only.

Short of assaulting me physically, you will not insult me, so think no further on it. The failure was likely mine. And hence my thanks. It was not sarcastically offered. I think we're good here.

Thanks for the response, but you miss my point, which perhaps I did not make clear. I mean normative implication. I know the positive reality. Anyone not having lived their entire life under a rock knows it. But in a better world...

Question: In the face of the video that had been denied as exculpatory evidence now having been made public, what are he implications for those already convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned?

Bull. Shit. Which of those Wikipedia jackasses have gone to the halls of records and looked up the actual data? Not a single one, and I would bet money I don't have that I am 100% correct. I, on the other hand, confirmed this in a single jurisdiction when I was in Virginia years ago. The records clearly showed that the Irish were sold as abject chattel in numbers exceeding that of black Africans. There were indentured servants, but their numbers were minuscule in comparison with the chattel transactions. So you can take that bullshit cite and stick it. Go do some real research and then come back and talk about this, because as of this moment you are speaking out of your wrong sphincter.

I enjoin Zelensky to drop dead. Today. I enjoin Putin to do the same, as well as Biden, whichever scumbag is running the UK shit show, and all other tyrants. Die one. Die all. We don't need you. We don't want you. Kill yourselves and thank whatever kitchen sink it is to which you worship that we don't make your children pay.

Critical mass? Is that a serious question? The history of European despots shows that there is no such notion. The only way to reduce the tyrant is to kill him. Two thousand years of tyrants progressively advancing on the rights of the European people testify to this most forcefully. The only relief they have had came when enough people decided that fighting to the death was better than continuing on as they had been. Sadly, humans never learn the lessons and always return to tyranny on the one hand, and servitude on the other. It is so deeply ingrained in us, we seem unwilling or otherwise unable to break from tradition, regardless of how ghastly it proves, no matter how many millions die in misery, disease, and poverty. ETA: fuck Ukraine. Fuck Russia. Fuck America, the EU, and all other tyrannical states.

Speaking to that mean, the standards are appallingly low. They do this to themselves. They do it because they want what they want so badly, they keep hoping the next empty promise is the one that brings in their ship... except they don't even know what ship it is half the time. The other half, it's the ship that brings everything they think they want without having to lift a finger to have it. Better if whitey brings it, but if their "brothers†" bring it, that's almost even better. †one of the saddest jokes in all human history.

If things come down to this, and they well may, there will be war. As stupid as we have collectively become, when the question becomes existential, I suspect the remnants will take up arms. Of course, what will remain in the aftermath is questionable as to its value. But perhaps we need a good fuck to wake our asses up because nothing else appears to be doing the job. That is the psywar op that has been conducted primarily on the black ones since the 1950s, and to a lesser but still significant degree on the rest of us. I am not at all certain of this. When I was doing my teacher training long years ago at CCNY, I had to take "black studies". The professor was from Kenya, his name Kamuti Kiteme. He's still around and if you look him up it seems he has taken a very sad turn to the left, but in those days he was very real concerning black people in America. He was the first to admit that black people are naturally lazy and very strongly lacking in ambition. He attributed this to the paradise that "was" Africa, where you could not take a step without tripping over food. I was very surprised by this, but that was his assertion. It accords well with what I have seen over a lifetime, as the statistical mean reality.

OOooo RAYcis... The jerks who cry their bitter tears never acknowledge this. Were they to, their entire raft of bullshit would collapse into the vapor that it is. They have nothing else on which to hang their bile and venom. So they just ignore everything that threatens their delicate, but hatred-logged world view.
