News In Review.
Mon 01 Nov 2021 05:52:09 PM UTC
I'm reviewing the news from my RSS feeds and I'll just comment on what I'm seeing.
There is a poll which indicates that Biden and his democrat horde, are having a
hard time convincing Americans that the many proposed spending bills are needed.
When has that fact ever stopped democrats and other authoritarian types? They'll
do it anyway. The American people and perhaps, the rest of western civilization are
being governed against their collective wills. The global deep state has formalized
its agenda and whether anyone objects or not is irrelevant. They're going to ram it
through. Especially, now in the USA, where we can all plainly see that our election
mechanism is corrupt and plagued with fraud, the establishment politicians don't really
have to listen to the people at all. So nothing will come of this observation that
in some poll the people object to this runaway spending. The government's attitude is,
fuck you.
Gas prices are at a seven year high. That shouldn't be surprising to anyone. It was
the practice of the Obama/Biden administration to constantly chime, that the days of
cheap and plentiful oil and gas, were done and that Americans could never drill,
drill, drill our way out of it. Their prediction, was that we needed more solar
energy, windmill farms and carbon taxes, from that time onward to infinity.
President Trump proved them to be liars, procrastinators, useless and enemies
of the people. Even at the tail end, of the last democrat administration, the
US was gliding to the path of energy sufficiency. Biden and his party have
indicated that the will of the people, is of no concern to them.
Their job, it seems, is to make our lives filled with unnecessary obstacles.
The vaccine mandate seems to be taking a toll on the airlines, as many employees
are refusing to be bullied into going against their better judgement and
abstaining from being forcefully infused with an experimental treatment that
isn't even necessary at all since the virus is easily recoverable at over a
ninety-eight percent rate. Add in the ability for the human body to adapt and
create antibodies for those exposed and it is obvious to people that something
else must be amiss. Either the politicians are assuring higher profit margins
for their patrons in the big pharmaceutical corporations or there's something
that they're hiding. I suspect that it may be both.
This weekend the left lost their patience with the, "Let's Go Brandon!", chant
there was an alleged claim, article and tweet from a reporter from the Associated
Press, Coleen Long, I think her name, was, claiming that the captain of her
aircraft ended one of his announcements with the phrase. Know the whores and
vipers that populate the media, one must take anything they say or print, with
caution. They have a right to be concerned, because, "Let's go Brandon.", is
grass roots, it's a clean way to say "Fuck Joe Biden.", it mocks Biden and it
also mocks the media revealing to even normies, how they use their lies to
propagandize their audience. For those two people who may not even know what I'm
talking about, "Fuck Joe Biden.", was a chant being heard in sports stadiums
nationwide by the crowds in the stands. Naturally the media ignored it, because
admitting that this was occurring, would destroy their failed narrative of how
legitimate, visionary and perfect the Biden administration is. The current
incarnation occurred at a NASCAR event, where at the end of it, a NBC 'reporter',
interviewing the winner, Brandon Brown, were being overshadowed by the clearly
audible chant, of "Fuck Joe Biden!", This nameless, unknown 'reporter', who
clearly had to be hearing the same thing as everyone else at home, acknowledged
the crowd bellowing as them showing acceptance and celebration with the chanting
of "Let's go Brandon.", which was clearly not what the crowd was saying.
In essence that media whore epitomized what the media in the west, passes of as
the truth. The press and the centralized technology companies, have seen to it
that any dissenting voices or views towards fascism, the growing
authoritarianism, censorship and cancel culture are silenced and erased.
Their strategy is to keep traditional Americans thinking that they're
alone and that their views are outdated and offensive. The fact that so many
people in the US are incorporating, "Let's go Brandon.", in the everyday
vernacular, is proof positive that those who defy the tyranny are legion and
are of one mind.
If indeed it ever was a concern to the average American, and not a nuisance,
the Coronavirus scam has fallen a news item of paramount importance. It seems,
that at the moment. Americans and others who's government representatives saw
fit to close down their economies, are more concerned with the runway costs of
their commodities, goods and services. While such events may seem to the
casual observer, as more proof of democrat left wing ineptitude, to the more
seasoned among us, events such as the ones being discussed, are purposely done
to enrage us, divide us and to separate us from our rights and freedoms. Until
Americans, in particular, start paying more attention to the people that they
employ to represent their interests on the local, state and federal fronts,
these abuses will continue.
On Tuesday November 2, tomorrow, there will be some important elections, locally
and statewide around the nations various municipalities and states. Chief among
them seems to be the Gubernatorial elections in the state of Virginia. While in
a perfect, less corrupt world, the republicans would be poised to win it and
they will. Sadly, the democrat cheating machine will no doubt prevail or indeed,
if it, is indeed allowed to present the republicans as victors, it will merely
be a sacrificial ploy to prove that all talk of corrupt elections were
conspiracy theories of maddening right wing zealots. We shall see.
On a lighter note, Joe Biden, the most legitimate US president in history is
alleged to have shat his pants on his visit to Rome and the Vatican. Even if
it were not so, it is believed because it is so probable. Anyway, we're
having fun with it. The Taliban, one of Biden's rare successes, are lobbying
the UN for funds to preserve and protect it's fragile environment and become
a healthier greener nation. They seem to catch on quickly, don't they? Oh,
and the Biden gang have decided that what the world really need is a
Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem. I'm surprised that the Biden cartel hasn't
started building nuclear energy power plants in the Gaza or West Bank to help
the Palestinians become energy sufficient. Oh, and while the White House and
congressional democrats saw it fit to produce a three trillion dollars pork
spending bill, buy American votes for six-hundred dollars, while most of the
country were unemployed because of their pandemic hoax. They're contemplating
a bill to give each family of illegal alien law breakers four-hundred-fifty,
thousand dollars for their pains. I'm thinking of leaving my papers at home,
sneak into Mexico and see if I can get caught at the border, and receive my
check.
In the United Kingdom, they're actively seeking to criminalize, what they're
referring as trolling, misinformation and what normal people would consider
free speech. There's no hope for those people. One can only pray that the
English find their testicles in a hurry. They're seeking jail time for speech
that is none of their business. This is about controlling the narrative and
the world governments wish to silence any and all dissent. The last time
England tried something so drastic, it cost them a prized colony. Let's hope
history repeats itself, only this time it seems as if the stakes may be quite
higher.
Amazon, Best-Buy and retailers of electronic gadgets, tablets smartphones and
the like are all having various black Friday type sales early. I'll pass, I'll
never buy any device that I cant unlock, modify, or install my choice of
operating system, ever again. Liliputing dot com will have more details for
people interested. I'm happy and excited about the news that the latest Linux
kernel, Linux-5.15 was released yesterday. It's reported to be the LTS kernel
for this year. I'm already hearing good things about Linux-5.16 which is being
merged now that there's a new kernel cycle. I think I'll build it later and
play with it for a while. Although I really don't need a new kernel. The one
I'm running right now 5.10.74-1 is superb. I did have the latest Arch kernel
for the Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB, which was 5.10.74-3-ARCH Linux or something like
it but I didn't secure a copy of it, in the event that the latest new kernel
from upstream would be buggy. I'll have to plan on doing so in the future.
As soon as I installed the 5.10.76-1-raspberrypi4-ARCH funny things started
happening when I would be using the GUI. my screen would flicker come on and
off. I read the logs but they weren't any clues or references about the matter
I decided it was either a problem with xorg-server or the kernel. So I used
that same Manjaro-ARM kernel that's on my other Pi and things went back to
sanity. So I'm waiting until the next kernel update to see if things are
better. It it is I'll download a copy of the kernel save it for a time
like this. However, in the mean time I have numerous copies of the Manjaro-ARM
kernel to fall back on.
Finally, actor Kal Penn comes out as gay. You may remember him from the Harold
& Kumar franchise. I can't believe, that there was actually a time when I
thought those videos were funny. I was probably into alcohol and cannabis at
the time, so I have excuses. I can't say I'm shocked, either. Is there anyone
who isn't gay these days? I lost interest in anything Penn had going on when
I read somewhere that he was a part of the Obama administration. After that
whatever perceived funniness he had, vanished.
