Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation: Part I

 “There’s something happening here

 

What it is ain’t exactly clear”

 

Join me now, if you have the time, as we take a stroll down memory lane to a time nearly four-and-a-half decades ago – a time when America last had uniformed ground troops fighting a sustained and bloody battle to impose, uhmm, ‘democracy’ on a sovereign nation.

 

It is the first week of August, 1964, and U.S. warships under the command of U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison have allegedly come under attack while patrolling Vietnam’s Tonkin Gulf. This event, subsequently dubbed the ‘Tonkin Gulf Incident,’ will result in the immediate passing by the U.S. Congress of the obviously pre-drafted Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which will, in turn, quickly lead to America’s deep immersion into the bloody Vietnam quagmire. Before it is over, well over fifty thousand American bodies – along with literally millions of Southeast Asian bodies – will litter the battlefields of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Man eaten by bear after meth overdose

A man whose body was discovered partially eaten by a bear in Great Smoky Mountains National Park last year died of a meth overdose before the bear ever got to him, according to an autopsy released on Monday.

The remains of William Lee Hill Jr., 30, of Louisville, Tenn., were discovered in the national park in September when officials encountered a bear feeding on the body in an area off a trail.

Without knowing the exact cause of death, park officials and wildlife professionals decided to euthanize the bear a few days later for “public safety reasons.”

But on Monday, the Knox County Regional Forensic Center revealed Hill died of “accidental methamphetamine intoxication,” WATE reported.

Hill had a history of drug use, and his body was found near syringes and other drug paraphernalia, according to a copy of the report obtained by the Knoxville News Sentinel.

I wonder if the bear got off on the meth?  A man-eating bear on speed.  No, thanks.

A veteran died in police custody. His body was returned to his family with some organs missing

Everett Palmer Jr.

(CNN)Two days before he died, Everett Palmer Jr. called his brother, Dwayne, to tell him he was on his way from Delaware to New York to visit him and their sick mother. But first, he said, he wanted to resolve an outstanding DUI warrant from an incident in 2016 in Pennsylvania to make sure his license was valid for the drive to see his family.

 

The phone call was the last time the family would hear from the 41-year-old US Army veteran and father of two.

 

On April 9, 2018, two days later, the family was told that Palmer had died in police custody at the York County Prison. Fourteen months later, the Palmers say they still don't know what really happened. But they are suspicious because when Palmer's body was returned to them, his throat, heart and brain were missing.

 

"This entire case smacks of a cover-up," civil rights attorney Lee Merritt told CNN by phone.

New York doctors shocked by what they find during surgery on brain tumor

Doctors at Mount Sinai in New York, who cut into a 42-year-old woman’s brain last September to remove a suspected malignant tumor, were reportedly baffled when they found a mass resembling a “quail’s egg."

It turned out to be a baby tapeworm.

“It was very shocking,” one of the surgeons told The Washington Post. “We were scratching our heads, surprised at what it looked like.”

After doctors removed the mass from Rachel Palma's brain they cut it open and placed it under a microscope. They realized it was a tapeworm in the larval stage

Madison police officer who strikes teen in video is put on 'restricted duty'

Footage from a home security camera shows Madison police restraining and punching a 17-year-old boy with mental health problems whom they described as exhibiting "threatening behavior."
FACEBOOK

MADISON — Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said Thursday that the officer seen on video striking a 17-year-old detained in the midst of a mental health crisis will be placed on “restricted duty” and an outside investigation of the incident will be conducted.

Police also released 23 pages of reports on the Monday incident that show the teen was threatening staff at West High School, his foster father, a workman and police and then spit at and struggled with officers for some 20 minutes before they could take him into protective custody — something that reportedly happened only after a sergeant on the scene, Joseph Engler, delivered three blows to the teen’s head.

The teen is under a Chapter 51 mental health commitment, and the foster father and Journey Mental Health Center, which handles Chapter 51 cases in Dane County, had authorized police help in taking him into protective custody, police said.

Famous farm investigated for animal abuse caught on video, Jewel-Osco pulls products

FAIR OAKS, Ind. — Retailers began pulling Fairlife products from their shelves Wednesday as police investigated alleged animal abuse after an animal rights group released graphic video showing workers kicking and throwing young calves at an Indiana dairy farm that's a popular destination for school field trips.

Animal Recovery Mission said that an investigator for the Miami-based animal rights group secretly recorded the disturbing footage last year while working for several months at Fair Oaks Farms, which
Food & Wine magazine has called the "Disneyland of agricultural tourism."

The group said that the footage shows the "daily mistreatment of the resident farm animals" at the farm's dairies about 70 miles south of Chicago.

Our Grandson's Kindergarten Graduation!

Sunday we went up north and on the way we stopped at Horicon Marsh. It was the last day for the auto tour trail because they are repaving it. We did see a lot and another day I will post some pictures.

We spent the night up by Drew's parents because Monday at 6pm was our Grandson's Kindergarten Graduation. We went and had dinner with my son and his family before the graduation and we had a nice time with them. Then at the graduation my older daughter came with her fiance and his twin girls it was so nice to see them while we were up there. The kindergartners sang nine songs and my son was jamming out with them it was funny. The kids did an awesome job singing the songs. Here are some pictures.

YouTube says anti-gay slurs don't break its rules

Journalist Carlos Maza regularly faces abuse online

YouTube is one of many companies that has given its logo a rainbow-themed makeover to show support for LGBT rights - but, underneath the colourful veneer, a row has erupted over how the video-sharing site enforces its own hate-speech policies.

At the centre of the dispute is journalist Carlos Maza, who presents a popular series called Strikethrough for the news site Vox.

He says he has faced persistent abuse from rival video-maker Steven Crowder, who has more than 3.8 million subscribers on YouTube.

Whenever Maza publishes a video for Vox, Crowder will post his own "debunking" video, peppered with insulting language attacking Maza's sexual orientation and ethnicity.

So, last week, Maza posted a video compilation of the abuse.

In the clips, Crowder imitates Maza's accent and calls him, among other things, a "lispy queer", a "gay Vox sprite" and a "gay Mexican".

Maza asked YouTube to step in.

Women's investment club scammed by longtime treasurer

Bruce Vielmetti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 6:36 p.m. CT June 4, 2019 | Updated 7:00 p.m. CT June 4, 2019

 

For about 25 years, several friends from around the North Shore met monthly to discuss the stock market, pick some investments and kick in $50 to their portfolio. They called themselves Women of Wealth, and their numbers grew from five to 12.

Besides the social and education aspect, members hoped by the time they reached 65 or thereabouts their investments would provide a nice supplement to other retirement income.

That time was coming soon, so longtime club treasurer Wendy Yanow went directly to federal prosecutors this year and admitted she'd been stealing her friends' money, not investing it, for years, 

while presenting monthly reports on how the portfolio they thought they owned was doing.

Yanow, 63, of Thiensville, has reached an agreement to plead guilty to wire and mail fraud for the longtime scheme.

According to the plea deal, Yanow will pay about $81,000 in restitution before her sentencing, likely in the fall. Federal prosecutors may argue the restitution should be nearly $375,000 — what the members' money would have been worth now if it had been invested as the group had directed.

 Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz has a reputation for saying what he thinks. 

So when a frequent antagonist brought up some of the Oshkosh Democrat's past controversies and indiscretions on Facebook last month, Hintz didn't hold back. 

"You are a (expletive) loser," Hintz wrote in a May 28 private message to Carver Siewert, a conservative business owner and onetime friend from Oshkosh. Hintz finished by calling Siewert an "(expletive)." 

Siewert responded by dropping his own f-bombs and ordering Hintz to call his cell phone. Siewert wrote that he had already been in touch with an attorney about the incident.

Wisconsin will soon become an island surrounded by legal weed

MADISON - When Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signs into law a bill making way for recreational marijuana use in our neighbor to the south, his signature will put Wisconsin on an island surrounded by legal weed.

Three out of the four states that border Wisconsin — Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota —  have now legalized marijuana use and two of them allow residents to purchase and consume cannabis for any reason. 

While more and more state legislatures are embracing legal marijuana for medical or recreational reasons — 33 in all — Wisconsin isn't likely to anytime soon.

Hello.

The savage president

The God-Emperor is such a ruthless rhetorical savage:

Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the State Banquet staged in honour of Donald Trump, in the wake of alleged comments made about his wife. The Duke of Sussex appeared less than keen to be pictured with the President - who reportedly branded Harry's wife Meghan 'nasty' at the weekend after learning of comments she made about him while she was an actress.
Earlier in the day Harry had chaperoned Mr Trump's daughter, Ivanka, into Buckingham Palace's Picture Gallery for a display of US-themed artefacts.
But the Queen's grandson quickly disappeared into the background and did not follow other members of the Royal Family as they walked round the exhibition with the American leader and his party.

The reason Prince Harry is so furious is that he knows perfectly well what President Trump means when he said that he didn't know Megan Markle "was nasty". He knows the President wasn't referring to any name-calling, but rather, to his wife's former profession that did not involve acting.
You'd think people would have learned to keep their mouths shut about President Trump by now. At least, people with secrets they don't want distributed around the world by the media.

Vocal Foxconn Opponent Accuses Mount Pleasant Fire Chief Of Cyberstalking

 Complaint Sent To Mount Pleasant Police And Fire Commission

A Mount Pleasant resident who has been a vocal opponent of the Foxconn development has filed a complaint against the village’s fire chief alleging ongoing cyberstalking.
Kelly Gallaher is requesting a formal investigation by the Mount Pleasant Police and Fire Commission into a website she said was created in 2017 by the village fire chief, Robert Stedman.
Gallaher is one of the creators of the Facebook page, A Better Mt. Pleasant — which is described as a group "working to bring honest and frank discussions about Mount Pleasant politics, elected officials and current events."
She alleges Stedman created a mock website, "Let’s Make A Better Mt. Pleasant," on May 11, 2017, for the sole purpose to harass her and Village Trustee Gary Feest and former trustees Jon Hansen and Ken Otwaska. The site has 58 comments, which Gallaher said are demeaning and verbally abusive.
"During the eight months the website, 'Let’s Make A Better Mt. Pleasant,' was most active, posts became increasingly obsessive and hostile, especially toward me," Gallaher’s complaint states. "I became frightened the author would eventually come to my house and attempt to harm me or a member of my family."
Gallaher said she was unable to determine the author of the website until a glitch revealed "fchief1951" as the creator. Stedman was born in 1951. He also maintains Yahoo, Flickr and WordPress accounts using "fchief," according to the complaint.
Stedman did not immediately return requests for comment. Mount Pleasant Village Administrator Maureen Murphy said she could not comment on the pending matter.
"By state statute, personnel decisions regarding the fire chief are the exclusive jurisdiction of the Mount Pleasant Police and Fire Commission," Murphy said.
The last post on the website is dated Jan. 31. It's entitled "It’s Called Environmental Control," and makes reference to Gallaher’s Facebook page, A Better Mount Pleasant.

If you don’t like a Movie then don’t go to the Movie!
If you don’t like a song on the Radio then don’t listen to it.
If you don’t like the Liberal Garbage that comes out of the mouths of most Liberal News Media then don’t listen to CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. or read the “Hate Facebook Page Make A Better Mt. Pleasant”
If you don’t like this web site then don’t visit it as no one will know! Then the Board members at all the meetings you attend won’t have to listen to you complain!

Gallaher’s spokeswoman Heather Asiyanbi, said she believes Gallaher was targeted because she wants to hold public officials accountable.
"If they make a decision and it smells bad, or doesn’t smell right, she asks questions," Asiyanbi said. "We have seen time and again leadership in Mount Pleasant, some leaders, not all, don’t like to be questioned."
Gallaher is prepared to take her complaint further than the police and fire commission and has hired an attorney, Asiyanbi said.
"She knows this could be an uphill battle," Asiyanbi said. "She’s hoping the people on the police and fire commission can see there is a problem and at least investigate it. We’re hoping for a punishment that fits the crime, up to and including termination."

The genuine racists

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail."
- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin
"Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage."
- Ben Shapiro
"One Jewish Life Is Worth More Than 10,000 non-Jews."
- Birthright staffer, Haaretz
"A thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew's fingernail."
- Rabbi Dov Lior, Chairman of the Jewish Rabbinical Council
"It is important to make one thing clear – the life of one yeshiva boy is worth more than the lives of 1,000 Arabs."
- Sephardi chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu
"It should be clear to us that there is no room for two peoples in this country." -Yossef Weitz
"The power of the administration to exile anyone is unlimited ... it is not necessary to commit any type of infraction, a decision made in some office is sufficient."
-Dov Joseph, Israeli Minister of Justice
"Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel."
- Rabbi Ovadia Yosef
Keep these quotes in mind when you hear Jews crying about people criticizing and feeling less than enthusiastic about them. And do share with me, if you think you can, any race or religion that is more observably and demonstrably racist than the Jews. And as far as their playing the eternal victim goes, by my count, the Jews are among the six most genocidal nations in human history, with the Mongols leading the list.
These are historical facts. Deny them if you like, but delusion is never a safe refuge from reality for long.
Now, everyone has to live somewhere and the establishment of the state of Israel is also a fact. Which is precisely why I support Israel and the nationalist Israeli parties. I'll consider crying about the Palestinians after all the surviving American Indian tribes get their original lands back from the U.S. government as per the original treaties. The point of quoting these individuals is not to claim that Jews are uniquely bad, only that there is absolutely no basis for pretending, as Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and other deceitful Neo-Palestinians do, that the Jewish people are a uniquely moral people, a uniquely victimized people, or even an example for any other nation on Earth.

Stingl: Woman, 35 and single, puts her finalist sperm donors up for a vote at a party

There are women who quietly and privately seek out a sperm donor in the hope of becoming a mother.

Then there is Lisa Proeber, 35 and single, who threw a bawdy "Sperm Party" on Saturday and invited the people she knows and loves to rank the three donor finalists.

No, these men were not there flexing and schmoozing in person. Just their profiles: Eric, who has dimples and plays drums and studied exercise science in college; Raj, who boasts excellent teeth, has traveled to eight countries and hopes to cure cancer; and Killian, who is 6-foot-5, skilled in math and physical therapy, and striving to live in the moment.

Lisa already made her pick and, in fact, was inseminated by syringe with the chosen sperm on Friday. But she wanted to bring her friends in on the process and guess which guy she selected.

"Because I'm an extroverted extrovert and I'm in sales and I love people and entertaining, I wanted to throw a party to celebrate it and have fun with it and make my community part of the decision," she told me.

She also feels it's important to talk openly about important life crossroads like this. Families come in all shapes, and there's no shame in being a single adult who wants to be a parent, even if it takes a nudge from science.

Mailvox: the tarantula's dilemma

A gamma asks why he should not seek revenge for his unhappiness:

What do you do if you respect conservative views, you like the ideology and the principals they convey, but no matter no hard you try, no matter your character, how much you give you will never be equal simply because you were not born beautiful enough to be considered as worthy. For me I will never have a family, never feel loved. Never get any recognition. I Will always need to work harder than others for less reward. I would say I'm a 6 but have had almost no positive attention from anyone in 10 years while giving my best, working overtime often 10 or more hours per week, trying desperately to connect with people and going out of my way to make them feel welcome and understood but never getting the same in return. There is no happiness in my life, there is no prospect of happiness only an abyss. I'm a gamma born of a narcissistic single mother and a cucked pathetic father, indoctrinated in leftist schools, starved of humanity. Should I follow your doctrine? I know I was lied to. How can I not seek revenge? Why would I not seek revenge?

First, conservatism is not an ideology and it has no principles. So, there is nothing there to respect, it is merely a "sensibility" one may happen to share with others, which is of absolutely no more significance than a shared preference in music or video games. Second, upon whom are you going to seek revenge? Upon those who did this to you or to those who are innocent of everything but being less unlucky than you?
Understand that you were created to be a weapon against those you envy. Why would you ever want to do the will of those who turned you into a tarantula? Why not seek vengeance upon them by rejecting the fate they chose for you and becoming the man you were meant to be?
In the end, your choice will come down to whether you hate the lies or you hate the truth even more.

Everyone to the right of Mao

Embrace your extremists or you will become the extremist:

WHITE NATIONALISTS ON TWITTER

Though these accounts are easily discoverable on Twitter, publishing their names could bring them more attention. For that reason, HuffPost is only publishing their user IDs, not the @ “handles” most commonly associated with Twitter accounts.

Since we began assembling this list last month, four of the 62 accounts have been suspended. Two were not suspended but appear to have self-deleted to evade oversight. We are leaving these accounts on the list because Twitter permitted the suspended users to repeatedly post extremist content before taking action and seemingly took no action against users that deactivated their accounts.

This list is far from comprehensive. We are excluding prominent anonymous white nationalists, who can have thousands of followers and go through dozens of accounts, and propagandists such as Cernovich and Jack Posobiec, who work with white nationalists. Nor are we including Islamophobes like Mekelburg and Pamela Geller, who do not identify as white nationalists but whose views often align with the ideology. The same holds for mainstream Republican pundits such as Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson.

In the photos below, many white nationalists wear “Make America Great Again” caps or express support for Trump. During the 2016 election, white nationalists rallied around Trump en masse, accurately viewing the racist authoritarian as a means to seize a greater share of mainstream political power. Twitter was Trump’s medium of choice. So it was the medium of choice for far-right extremists. While their bigotry and propaganda is now echoed by much of the Republican base, several prominent white nationalists have since rejected Trump. He has done too much neoconservative saber-rattling for their taste or failed to deliver on issues like the border wall. Grotesquely, some now shun him for having too many close connections to Jews. But the damage these extremists ― and Twitter (and Trump) ― have done by spreading a message of hate and radicalization will linger for years.

By the Huffington Post standard, every single Founding Father was a white nationalist and right-wing extremist. Now they're even after hard-core radicals such as Mike Cernovich and Steve Sailer!

Get off Twitter and get off Facebook now. Because the goalposts are going to move until you're a Nazi too.

And isn't it informative that not a single neocon is identified?

FERAL BLACK YOUTH RUN WILD IN BALTIMORE

Guest post via The Red Elephants
Baltimore Police have recently released footage from body cameras and street cams of some of the attacks that occurred in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor on Memorial Day.
In a few of the scenes, officers had to run toward attacks and apprehend those responsible for starting the violence. In others, some teens can be seen running toward the police officers for safety, with one team literally sprinting into the arms of a police officer who then attempt to calm him down.

Another shows a group of black teens beating up a white man until officers pushed them all aside and rescued him. Another shows a black teen standing atop a stoop and kicking an unsuspecting white male in the face as he walked by. The while male kept walking, while the black male seemed to get a congratulatory hand slap from a friend.

Since I do not wish to be a family member anymore - and remember that I was adopted. I wish to state the following - That on May 31, 2019 I went to 6255 Hilltop Drive in Mount Pleasant WI - to ask if my possessions were still in the basement. When I finished the basement in accordance with the owners instructions - the agreement was that material costs would be covered by the owner - while my labor would allow me to store my possessions in a specific designated areas in perpetuity until my death. On my latest visit - May 31, 2019 - the current owner, Barbara Elmer answered my ring of the doorbell and stated to my question, "Are my possessions still in the basement"? "NO!" I then informed her that she is a thief, and left - I am going to place a $30,000 lien on the property owned by the Elmers at 6255 Hilltop Drive as they are in default of our agreement. --------------- Whoever is in possession of my former property is in possession of stolen property. And I witness and testify against you - in this life and others.

Police Identify Virginia Beach Shooter, Victims As Death Toll Climbs To 13

by Tyler Durden

Sat, 06/01/2019 - 11:40

12 SHARES

 

Police in Virginia Beach have delivered a more complete picture of Friday afternoon's tragic shooting at a municipal building that has left 13 people dead, including the shooter, and four people injured, including a police officer who was reportedly saved by his bullet-proof vest.

During a Saturday morning news conference, Va. Beach Police Chief James Cervera identified the gunman as DeWayne Craddock, a civil engineer who was a 15-year employee of the city's public utilities department. Craddock was armed with a .45 caliber handgun, and died after a long gun fight with police. Craddock died after a lengthy shootout with police. The weapon he used had been purchased legally, as Craddock had no criminal record to speak of.
Cervera also refused to speculate about a motive.

DeWayne Craddock
Craddock joined the army national guard after graduating from Denbigh High School in nearby Newport News, Virginia, in 1996. During his time in the national guard, he received basic military training and advanced individual training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
He eventually graduated with a degree in civil engineering from Old Dominion University, and worked a private firm for a few years before joining the town.
City Manager Dave Hansen said he had worked with Craddock for years. Others pointed out that his name frequently appeared on city notices.

"I have worked with most of them for many years," said Dave Hansen, Virginia Beach City Manager. "We want you to know who they were so in the weeks to come you will learn what they meant to all of us, to their friends, to their families, and to their co-workers. They leave a void that we will never be able to fill."

Craddock's neighbors in the modest Va. Beach neighborhood where he had lived for at least 10 years told NBC News that he was quiet, mostly kept to himself, and that he was "jacked" from spending lots of time at the gym.

People who live near Craddock said police swarmed the small neighborhood of modest townhomes in Virginia Beach on Friday where some said he had lived for at least 10 years.
Several neighbors said Craddock was clean cut, a member of the neighborhood association board and spent time lots of time at the gym. But they also said he mostly kept to himself, especially after his wife left him some number of years ago.
Angela Scarborough, who lives in the neighborhood, said "he was very quiet. He would just wave."

At one time, Craddock was married. But his wife apparently left him abruptly a few years back.

She said she knew his wife, but she left some time ago. "She just left," Scarborough said. "Didn't let us know or anything."
"I'm very saddened because this is a great neighborhood," Scarborough said. "It's very sad to know that that's the way he decided to resolve the situation. It's just something I can't believe."
She added: "I would speak to him and he would speak back, but conversation-wise, I never had a conversation with him."

Another neighbor said Craddock appeared to be awake at all hours of the night, occasionally dropping heavy objects and making other noises that sometimes disturbed his neighbors.
Finally, police have released the names of Craddock's victims. 11 were city employees who worked with Craddock. The 12th was a contractor who was in the office applying for a permit. The full list can be found below:

Group Invites White Women To Voluntarily Attend Race Shaming Dinners

A group headed by a former congressional candidate is offering private dinners exclusively to white women, where they are lectured about how racist and supremacist they are, even if they don’t realise it.
The organisation, co-founded by self described ‘racial justice activist’ Saira Rao, has called itself ‘Race To Dinner’, and claims to provide a way for women to alleviate their white guilt.
The group’s website explains that white diners are able to “bear witness” to the pain of “Black and Brown” women, while noting that the event is not actually for them because “you and your dudes wrote the book,” on white supremacy.
The organisation states that “as a white person in America, you are an active participant in upholding white supremacy,” even if you actively denounce racism.
In other words, it’s not OK to be white.
“Black and Brown” people are “on the receiving end of white supremacy” while white women “are on the giving end.” the diatribe continues.
The website is replete with statements about how white women need to be made to feel uncomfortable and how ‘the truth’ must be heard.

As CBD Oils Become More Popular, The FDA Considers Whether To Set New Rules

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a compound that can be extracted from marijuana or from hemp. It doesn't get people high because it doesn't contain THC, the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant.

The Food and Drug Administration is holding its first public hearing on CBD, the cannabis extract that has quickly grown into a billion-dollar industry. Today's hearing will help officials determine how to regulate CBD products.
The compound can be extracted from marijuana or from hemp. It's promoted as a way to ease anxiety and inflammation – and it doesn't get people high because it doesn't contain THC, the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant.
People are using oils with cannabidiol, or CBD, to help with everything from menstrual cramps to insomnia. While the hype around CBD has gotten ahead of the science, there are a growing number of small studies that do point to some health benefits. But the FDA has concerns over how these products are marketed, and is seeking more data about their safety.
"Questions remain regarding the safety considerations raised by the widespread use of these products," FDA officials wrote in a Federal Register notice about today's hearing. "These questions could impact the approaches we consider taking in regulating the development and marketing of products."

The terminal phase

The decline and eventual collapse of the United States is rapidly becoming apparent to more and more observers:

The United States has entered its terminal phase and most of its citizens are as blithely unaware of this reality as they were of the impending dissolution of the Soviet system in the late 1980’s. On the surface each one projects its hegemony and influence far beyond their limitations through a combination of propaganda and threats. Both systems were thoroughly corrupted, perhaps from their inception, but certainly and absolutely as they neared their nadir, yet both systems affected a nonchalance that soon- very soon, every knee would bend before their majesty and morally superior aspirations.
For the USSR it was based upon the trite concept that everyone should share equally of the labors of others when no such possibility ever existed during mankind’s reign over the Earth. In America it was the equally vapid and hollow claim that all men are created equal when no such thing had ever been so at any time, nor could it ever be possible. To base an entire national mythos on pure sophistry is a guarantee of failure and yet their remains an eternal optimism rooted in these fanciful phrases that distorted and diffused before our eyes.
The elites always managed somehow, regardless of the system and its ideals, to rise above equality and find a toehold in a neo-aristocracy, where rather than blood-ties, loyalties were developed in the institutions and secret societies; Ivy League universities, Intelligence agencies, International banking cartels, Media conglomerates and Corporate boardrooms. The differences between the Politburo under Gorbachev and the current Congress are more noticeable in attire and decor rather than in behavior and outcomes.
In America today here is a complete symbiosis between the organs of information- the MSM- and the political parties and their apparatchiks, and it is used solely for the control of the populations and the promotion of The Narrative rather than as a means of explaining the events of the day. Much in the same way that the Soviet Union new organizations Pravda (Truth) and Izvestia (News) were able to control information to such a degree that the people of the USSR joked that “there is no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia”, the current state of media in America is summed up in the equally derogatory slur. “Fake News”.
The populations are keenly aware that they are being misled, but are powerless - in their minds - to do anything about it. The problem of course isn’t that the populations fail to believe the lies, but that the elites of both systems have chosen falsehoods as their basic premise for rule. Any system predicated upon falsehoods cannot survive the exposure of those lies when reality comes knocking.

The cucks and cons are doubling down on their virtue-signaling and attacking the defenders of civilization in the vain hopes that the barbarians they have championed will barbecue them last while in the meantime the very ground beneath their feet is beginning to crumble.
They believed, wrongly, that civilization is an abstraction. They foolishly mistook Thomas Jefferson's meaningless, high-flying political rhetoric for material reality and placed their faith in it. And in their sanctimonious refusal to defend civilization, they are very nearly as much to blame as the progressives who have been actively attempting to tear it down.
Every society comes to an end in time. And that end usually comes as a complete surprise to most of its inhabitants.
UPDATE: Oh sweet overturned statues of Thomas Jefferson...

I’m not a liberal conservative, but if we’re going to prevail it will be with David French and men like him.

Then you're not going to prevail. Period.

10 Times Censorship Went Too Far

Open Blog - Thursday

Have a good one.

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my lovely kumquats!  How are you?  Are you enjoying the spring weather?  Ugh, we get one nice day and then a week of rain or overcast skies.  It's almost June and our temperatures are still in the 40's.  It will be summer before spring arrives.  But, nope, climate change is phony science. The Arctic melts down all the time and we always see this many tornadoes and hurricanes.  Our country is ripped up, top to bottom, every year.  Yeah, that's it.  Such statements are common.  Why don't some people want to admit that we've screwed up the climate?  Are they afraid it's a lefty plot?  Plot to do what?  Make them honest? 

The Journal Times reports that the city of Racine's population is dwindling.  No surprise there.  I'm just shocked that so many people choose to stay.  I'm sure that jobs and families play a part, but for those who are unattached, why don't they take off.  It must be that RUSD education that keeps them here.  No worry about a brain drain: we don't have brains.

Foxcon keeps taking back little bits of its promises each day.  Whatever develops on the site, it's not going to be what was originally announced.  Before Foxcon is through, they'll have us pay them to not manufacture in Mount Pleasant.  What a disaster!  The millions and millions of dollars that Mount Pleasant has borrowed to meet Foxcon's needs may well never be paid back.  Then watch your property taxes jump.

It's funny how the businesses moving into downtown Racine are always broadcast over the area but the businesses that are leaving downtown are rarely mentioned.  So many of these businesses fail that it's impossible to keep count.  People have lost their retirement savings or even their life savings.  Downtown Racine Corp. is always talking about the "positives" of downtown that a prospective tenant might think there is more foot traffic than there actually is.  I keep thinking of the story of Taos Chili that opened up on 6th St. and Wisconsin Ave.  The man had to do so much work to the infrastructure of his business.  Dewey;s down the street was granted exemptions from many of the ordinances that suffocated Taos Chili.  The owner even said he had lost all of his savings.  The business lasted around 6 months.  I guess it's good to have some connections to City Hall.  With the right people on your side, you can get a variance for almost anything. 

Hey, have we come up with any new ideas for Monument Square?  It's such a mess that we have to redo it.  Ha-ha-ha!

Señor Zanza's sister, Señorita Zena, has left.  What a pleasant person.  She can stay with us anytime.  She's more well-mannered than Señor Zanza, and cleaner, too.  Let's hope she doesn't change.

I love you all and thank you for reading my blog today.  We writers need readers and vice versa.  Let's all express our love for each other.

madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com

Have a great week.  Try not to let the weather get you down.  It has to stop raining long enough for us to plant our plants outdoors.  Of course, the first ones have already drowned.  Let's keep the second generation covered and protected.

Righteous in Word and in DEET

From The Shepherd Express:

by Art Kumbalek

May 28, 2019

4:16 p.m.

I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? Hey, how ’bout an update on the Art Kumbalek Spring Fund Drive? Okey-doke, can do.

So, a big thanks to reader J.E. from out of the great state of Maryland (where the Black-eyed Susan remains the state flower, even during these #MeToo times, yikes!) for the buck two-eighty and the medicinal solvent of which I have followed the doctor’s orders—“two ounces over ice repeatedly as needed.” However Dr. J, I still feel like I’m running a couple, three quarts low. Any additional donation in this regard would be greatly appreciated, I kid you not.
And to my dear reader Ingrid/Mae, hope you are well, wherever you be.
Anyways, I got to say, again, that now we’re post-Memorial Day, we got the goddamn summer season smacking us square in the face. All that racket. All that festive ethnic hoopla. And all the knuckleheads complaining about the mosquitos and the goddamn persistent yellow-jacket bee stingers. Seems like I say this every year, and cripes, maybe I do, what the fock. But, onward into charted territory we go.
Listen: Any knobshine bitching on mosquitos is obviously some knobshine who’s spending time outdoors. What the hell’s the matter with you? You want to duck the mosquitos? Park your whining butt indoors just like any right-thinking guy does each and every season of the year. Case closed. You got a problem with outdoor bugs, don’t come crying to me. I told you what to do.
And while we’re on the subject, do we really need the infinitudinal number of focking species of bugs we seem to have on god’s green Earth every time you turn around? For christ sakes, according to my research we got upwards 500 billion types of insect species on and in our world—all created for the purpose of nothing other than to bug the hell out of you and me, or at least give us a good case of the heebie-jeebies, ain’a?
These goddamn insects go parading around all the time so high and mighty, and yet even though they know that one eventual day they will inherit the Earth and be the big cheese-olas ’cause Al Qaeda finally got hold of some kind of big-time nervy biological germ/gas/spray that wipes out everything on two legs, beard or no beard—oops!—these insects are still supremely motivated to bug us all the time because the average sapien Homo gets dealt an average lifespan of 65-70 years if everything breaks right, while the average focking bug gets cut like a day and a focking half. And they are pissed but good about the disparity. Don’t ask me how they know but they do, I kid you not.
Well, fock ’em. If I were in charge of things, I’d make it that only two kinds of bugs were necessary on this planet: Squished, and more squished.
These focking insects and what have you don’t know when they got it good. Jeez louise, if you were a bug criminal and got sentenced to do hard time, what would that come to? About 22 focking hours I figure. And you could get through bug high school in about two and a half hours (still more time than a lot of sapien students put in, granted); so big focking deal.
I wish these bugs could find some time to learn to do something constructive during their puny lifespan period instead of just bug us all the time. But until those bugs get some sense into whatever they got for heads; I say we squash ’em, and squash ’em good.
Yeah yeah, it would be a hoot to come back in a couple, three million years or so when the bugs are the top dogs, ain’a? I wonder if they’ll still be eating each other, or if evolution will have provided them a more reasonable if not relaxed disposition. I’ll bet a buck two-eighty their museums would be mighty interesting. Instead of dinosaurs, they’ll have a life-size Mom, Pop, Buddy, Sis and Grandma, burning the bird on a grill at the backyard picnic. The insects will clatter into the flashy exhibit room and there’ll be these snazzy illusional lighting effects that cram the span of the picnic into about three minutes. Sure, there’ll be sound effects: music from a crappy classic-rock radio station; Grandma wondering where the fock she left her teeth; Pop yelling at Buddy to go get a focking job; and Sis on her phone figuring out what to wear at the funeral after she kills herself ’cause her family sucks.
You bet it’ll be a popular display at the bug museum, but I’m betting the petrified pile of dog shit will always be numero uno with the winged and many-legged crowd, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

Time for Knife Control

The LA Times reports that a knife wielding man attacked a group of schoolchildren, then killed himself. Knife-wielding man attacks schoolgirls in Japan, killing 2 We better enact knife control now before we become another Japan.  People who wish to purchase knives should be subject to a background check.  Also, there should be a "cooling off" period between the purchase of knives and the receiving of them.  Finally, the government should be empowered to seize knives without notice.

Festival Pulls The Plug On Neil Young, He Keeps Playing Anyway

No one can stop Neil Young. 

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was cut off at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival on Saturday night for violating the outdoor event’s 10 p.m. curfew.

But that didn’t stop 73-year-old Young and his accompanying band, Promise of the Real, from finishing their final song, “Rockin’ in the Free World.” 

As video from the event shows, they continued to play through their stage amps ― and the crowd helped make up for the lack of volume by singing along. 

Someone can be seen running out onto the stage around the 7:45-mark in the clip, possibly to warn Young of what was about to happen. About 20 seconds later, the main audio was cut:
