Actual Conspiracy

Government Thugs, Grifters & Cons, Politics

I’m not by nature a conspiracy theorist, until there’s proof — usually after the fact — that there really was a conspiracy.  Then I go, “I thought there was something going on.”  But I keep shtum as a matter of policy, because guys who find links between JFK’s assassination and Aristotle Onassis’s manipulation of the emerald trade in China (I swear, I once read such a piece SOTI)… well, really.

So last week the Brits discovered beyond all doubt that two actual spies were working for the Chicom government, and arrested them.  Then, mysteriously, “pressure was brought to bear” and all charges were dropped.

So read here about the Circle of 48, which explains the dismissal of the charges.  (Spoiler alert:  it happened because prosecution “would have angered the Chinese government”.)

And think about whether such a group exists here in the U.S.  It’s not so much a dotted line as it is a neon arrow.  We saw evidence of it before with the fake “Russian dossier” and the people within government who prepared it, used fake information to make it legal, leaked it to the press and tried to stymie a completely valid election.  And I’ll bet there are more being cooked up, as we speak.  You may suggest your own suspects as the dramatis personae  (people like that slimy little Brit Jonathan Powell, only with American accents).

Feel free to point out where I’m wrong.

When Facts Meet Dogma

Eco-Crap, Grifters & Cons, Watermelons

…it’s no competition at all.  Bernie Sanders must have been insane (I know, I know) to agree to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

“You gotta deal with this climate change issue,” Sanders insisted. “It ain’t a hoax.” He trotted out the standard leftist claim that the last decade was “the warmest on record” and promised that a green energy overhaul would magically create “millions of good-paying jobs.”
But Rogan didn’t let Bernie get away with that kind of simplistic narrative. Instead, he calmly pointed out that Earth’s climate is far more complex and historically volatile than Sanders wants to admit. “The Earth’s temperature has never been static,” Rogan said. “It’s always been up and down. There’s been ice ages and heat waves.”
Referencing a recent Washington Post piece, Rogan brought up the inconvenient truth that global temperatures, when viewed over a longer timeline, appear to be in a cooling phase, something that completely undermines the urgency of the left’s climate panic. “Look at the far end of that graph,” Rogan said, quoting the Post’s data. “You see, we’re in a cooling period.”
Sanders tried to pivot, admitting that he hadn’t read the article, but Rogan began to point out how climate change is a huge grift. “There’s a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue,” he said. “And there’s a lot of control.”

It’s the “control” part that gets me,  Telling me that after some date or other I’ll have to drive an electric car, or if I don’t, I’ll be restricted to x number of miles before my car gets shut down remotely;  that I’ll have to put up with regular brownouts / blackouts because electricity generation must be either wind- or solar-generated;  having to become a vegetarian because cattle-emissions damage the atmosphere…

The list goes on and on, and all that changes is that more and more means of control are introduced into our daily lives.

The hell with all of them, and the hell with Bernie Sanders who, despite being a self-confessed Marxist has somehow [eyeroll]  managed to become a multimillionaire property owner since be was elected to the Senate.

Failed Shakedown

Good Stuff, Grifters & Cons

Oh, this is going to make all the Usual Suspects unhappy:

…as well they should, considering that Great Britain was foremost among Western European nations in banning slavery.  (They weren’t the first, but from memory, most of the earlier banners weren’t actively involved in the slave trade anyway, so they hardly count.)

Anyway, all sane people know that this whole “reparations” boondoggle is just a shakedown, playing on misplaced feelings of guilt for something perpetrated by Whitey’s ancestors.

Fuck ’em.

As the man said, “When are Blacks going to pay royalties on all the benefits bestowed in them by Western civilization?”
