ISO New England keeps saying they think the grid will be stable this winter, but they are lying. What the hell else would they say but we don’t have the energy infrastructure or the energy, and it’s a failure they’ve known about for a while—one which is almost entirely the fault of the political Left.

We’ve been on this story for years, but it’s been getting a lot of play on national sites because it’s a huge frikkin’ problem no one wants to take seriously.

 

• New England’s Power Crisis Set To Return, Regulator Warns
• Extreme Cold May Trigger Power Blackouts Across New England

The region faces a power crisis every winter because its power grid relies on NatGas and lacks pipeline infrastructure for domestic flows. Over the years, NatGas pipeline infrastructure has been delayed, blocked, or abandoned, which means the region’s power-grid operators have to compete in international markets for supplies.

One major problem is that power producers have limited NatGas storage facilities and lack pipeline capacity reserved mainly by utilities serving homes and businesses. Power producers procure a portion of supplies with fixed-price agreements and mostly rely on spot markets.

“Anybody who is depending on the spot market for their natural-gas supply is probably going to have a pretty significant sticker shock,” said Tanya Bodell, a partner at consulting firm StoneTurn who advises energy companies in New England.

That’s where we are.

Europe is screaming for Natural Gas, prices are skyrocketing, and our only backup is tankers from around the world and paying a huge price for that if we can get it.

Why?

The region’s power mix changes have left it increasingly reliant on international NatGas spot markets. State governors have asked US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to waive the Jones Act and allow foreign-owned tankers to ship LNG from the US Gulf region.

All of this has led to New England residents facing some of the highest electricity bills in years. Heating season is already underway.

Our so-called “leaders” wasted time, money, and energy on going green when they should have directed it at bringing in reliable electricity and domestic natural gas. Instead, we got protests from (primarily) the Left and almost no pushback from the right. The result is a confluence of problems that, given the global energy situation, will be bad come January when it gets cold and strains our fragile grid.

Idiots. By which, I mean Democrats; don’t vote for them and vote them out of office. That means our most vulnerable voters to whom the Left so often appeals. You’ve been beaten down with inflation, high food prices, unaffordable gas, and electric rates, and now this. Democrats are leaving you out in the cold. Perhaps you should return the favor (politically).

My other working title was “It just never stops, does it?  The Government continued imposition of a secular humanist religion on our young’uns”.

From that Font of School District Woke Virtue Signaling (that would be the Hanover School District SAU70) comes this via their school newsletter.  Once again, we see Government School Educators willingly bend (if not entirely break) the strict definition of the word “inclusive” to really mean “only those things that fit our secular humanistic ideology you peons call Woke”. Actually, it’s the old Political Correctness on meth driving a Tesla in Ludicrous mode on the sidewalks of a crowded street- and it is quite happy to run we Normal people in trying to beat their belief system into us (yeah, that First Amendment crap is just no longer worthwhile for us).

And here’s the person who delightfully gave us more grist in determining that all of our beloved traditions and holidays must be swept away in their crazed movement to “decolonize” the rest of us: Lauren Amrhein the Principal of the Bernice Ray School (elementary). Here’s the snippet of her Newsletter that someone got real angry about that proves what I’ve just written and sent to me – that “inclusive” really means “we’re going to take things away from your children that you approve of celebrating – because we don’t“.

 

Sidenote: *I* do get the chance to watch The Grandson participate in the annual Halloween Costume Parade that our elementary school has hosted for decades.  The teachers dress up, generally with an overall theme, and all the kids are happy and having a good time showing off in their costumes.

Which leads to another thought – and this District shows that Wokeness is nothing more than a dressed up Buzzkill. In this case, for kids.  Gee, thanks, Principal Amrhein, you became this for Halloween:

(that’s a Halloween version of The Grinch That Stole Christmas, if you couldn’t tell)

OK, enough of that, Skip – get to the point(s):

Halloween Guidance for 2022

During COVID, we moved away from school wide Halloween celebrations, parades, and gatherings. The original decision was made due to health concerns during the pandemic, but we used this time to further reflect on the motivation and objective of celebrating Halloween as a whole school.

Last year we examined Halloween through an equity lens. We decided to begin to move away from costume parties, electing to promote a spirit day over a Halloween costume day. While some students wore costumes for part of the day, others wore certain colors or even participated in a pajama day. We also reduced the overall time consuming nature of Halloween parties in the school and classroom, opting for low key social time and smaller engaging activities.

Low key most likely suppressed any gaiety (can I even use that word without offending yet another Identity Group on the Democrat Political Totem Pole? You know, someone will get offended when they don’t know its real definition – like niggardly that serves only as a word for faux outrage now (but means “Like a niggard; sordidly parsimonious or sparing; close-fisted; stingy: as, a niggardly person.”). Oh, is “totem” still available to a white senior citizen anymore to speak? Or is that “cultural appropriation?  How 1984ish…

This year we are fully pivoting away from the celebration of Halloween. Rather than centering a celebration on Halloween, classrooms have been encouraged to think about celebrating learning, community, and the time of the year. What we promote at Ray should be inclusive and consider all students and staff.

Inclusive – I guess seeing all students and staff in costumes with smiles and gales of laughter is no longer inclusive – but I do wonder WHO gets excluded?  Those that like our history, norms, and customs as they are?  Why does the esteemed Principal wish to oppress people like us (the Woke NEVER think that there are two sides of their Woke marginalization efforts).

• We need to think of our celebrations through the lens of equity.
• We aim to create positive social interactions and prioritize inclusion.
• We need to consider possible inequities that we are creating based on students’ social, environmental, and economic situations.
• We must think about culturally responsive education and ensure that we are not marginalizing or excluding groups of our students.

That’s the SECOND time she’s used that, “equity lens” idea.  Note, however, she doesn’t define it. She just ASSUMES that all people reading this know what it means already?  Isn’t that, itself, rather exclusive?  All that word salad that basically, in the end, means nothing at all.

Now, I make it clear that I’m just a simple guy but would SOMEONE PLEASE translate that for me? I thought kids rollicking in costumes was, by definition, “positive interactions” and included everyone?  What POSSIBLE inequities does such a special day create?  Did she ever think about the inequities SHE is creating by NOT have such?

Sorry, Principal, but now you are quashing a culturally responsible event and you ARE excluding a large group of students that DO celebrate Halloween. DISCRIMINATION!

And what about those that reject her worldview?  Oh, worldview?  Aren’t there lawsuits that prevent “worldview discrimination” when pushed by agents of the Government?

This is certainly a departure from past practice but one that considers all students. This is not to say that celebrations and fun are a thing of the past, but rather that we continue to think about the objective and thoughtful purpose of the celebrations. A perfect example of this is our recent Dot Day that celebrated an important inspiring message, a connection to learning and community, and was accessible and purposeful for all students and staff.

“but one that considers all students”,  Sure  And we see, in this newsletter, the continued replacement of Normal customs and events with new Woke ones – “Dot Day”?  Just move current traditions into the mists of time and LOOK!  A replacement that focuses on something else more inline with the new secular humanist – the celebration of Self. Or, rather Selfishness. And I’ll be happy to ‘mansplain it (a wee jab at PCism there) to her.

For those that celebrate Halloween, we hope you have a wonderful, safe time during celebrations in the community outside the school. Thank you for your understanding and support of all of our Ray School students and families. May we continue to find joy and reasons to celebrate in ways that support all while we learn and grow together.

Deconstructing society. Telling little kids that they can’t enjoy themselves.  I loved that “reduced the overall time consuming nature” bit – I’m betting they didn’t save even a second over their “opting for low key social time and smaller engaging activities“.  And what were they engaging in – that we may never know but I’m betting that dress-up and candy and “BOO!” had nothing to do with it. Perhaps a somber soliloquies on respecting the dark spirits, ghosts, and goblins and how Halloween oppresses them as a marginalized community?

It never stops, these Evangelists for Self. As Nitzkahon has said, they are not educators, they are missionaries and they don’t care what YOU are teaching them for a moral foundation. As that long dead German said:

We don’t care about you. We have your children.

And these Public School educators may not think about it that way because they are incapable of empathy from even trying to see from another viewpoint.

Equity.  The tool that these Self-Righteous, Ego-driven Jr. High Hall monitor snobs use for the “marginalization” of we that don’t believe; you’re using equity as a hammer with which to bash everything else. As many of commented upon in the blogosphere, they have become the New Puritans with a strict fundamentalist (yes, a religious term, that) dogma about Right and Wrong, they’re own set of Sacred Texts/Scriptures and dogmas that must be always followed to reach Heaven/Nirvana/Valhalla – oh, oopies!  They don’t believe in a Life Hereafter, so they just make your life suck and then you die.

Here it is in one fell swoop instead of my fisking mode:

The post Halloween in Schools Through an “Equity Lens”? What Does That Even Mean???? appeared first on Granite Grok.

The Economy should be the number 1 issue in the Midterm Elections in 21 days. There is no energy crisis in the White House as the President continues to gaslight the American people.

The polls show that this approach works for 21% of Americans who believe we have a strong economy. These people are as out of touch with reality as the President and every one of his feckless surrogates. I use the term feckless a lot to describe this Administration because I vow not to use profanity in my posts. These people are idiots. There is no other explanation. They occupy their positions because of diversity and not competence.

Everyone with a wallet or purse knows we are already in a recession. We don’t need two-quarters of negative growth. We do not need to see how negatively impacted our 401k’s are. We do not need to know the total on the gas pump or the receipt at the grocery store. We just need to look in our wallets or purse where we used to have some cash the day before payday. That surplus is long gone; hopefully, that is a word we can use for Democrat incumbents…Gone.

How appropriate that we have a President sucking on an ice cream cone in Portland, Oregon, as he is telling us how strong our economy is. With milk and eggs over $5, no money is left to take the family to King Cone! If he were right, maybe we could all afford a waffle cone. The President’s team took to the Talk Shows on Sunday and did their best to feed the minds of the 21%. These people do not have free-thinking minds. They operate strictly on what they are told. They are not capable of formulating their own opinion. That would take far too much effort.

These people tried in vain to make the Administration’s case. They have nothing substantive, but that does not stop them from trying. The most inept of the bunch is Mayor Pete. He is marched out every time a talking head is needed. If anyone tries to confront his line of thinking, they will be shrugged off as anti-gay, and nobody will care about the content.

The economy is in shambles. The Administration continues to blame Trump for giving them a weak economy and saying that the rest of the world is far worse off than America. Neither is accurate, and the facts prove that. We are in a recession. Not one of Putin’s doing or because of the war in Ukraine. It is wholly on the shoulders of Joe Biden and his horrendous economic policies.

The economy is in such rough shape that no Democrat candidate will run on its merit. That is why the airwaves are full of Abortion ads or Reproductive Rights, as the Left calls abortion. Abortion and personal attack ads are what the Left is running on, which is why the momentum has swung to the right, and the Dems are in trouble. The Left is not motivated to turn out for midterm elections. In three weeks, the Democrats may be lucky to get anyone but the 21% to vote and 21% will not get it done.

A few years back, supervillain Bill Gates proposed a solution to the made-up problem of global warming. What if we block the sun? You spray tiny sun-reflecting particles into the atmosphere. What could go wrong? How about the Biden Administration funding the research?

Related: NASA says the Solar Minimum is Here. Climate Cult Says Meh, No Big Deal (But It Probably Is)

 

The research plan will assess climate interventions, including spraying aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space, and should include goals for research, what’s necessary to analyze the atmosphere, and what impact these kinds of climate interventions may have on Earth, according to the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy. Congress directed the research plan be produced in its spending plan for 2022, which President Joe Biden signed in March.

 

It sounds like another laundromat converting your hard-earned and increasingly worthless dollars into pay and benefits for political “friends and family.”

Is this research happening in Ukraine, by any chance? I’m asking for a friend.

And if you do this, could you at least devise a clever name? How about the Ministry of Shade? As in throwing it at the planet, people you’ve labeled climate “deniers,” whoever.

And please tell me you’re doing the work in some secret underground lair like the one I attributed to Gates when he backed the idea.

 

Where technicians and guards wearing matching uniforms (with different colored stripes) hurry along roughly hewn tunnels to do his bidding.

Chrome and glass, women in ecru mini dresses with matching boots. It’s not as nice as Jeff Bezos,’ but it will do.

 

Seriously.

 

Harvard professor David Keith, who first worked on the topic in 1989, said it’s being taken much more seriously now. He points to formal statements of support for researching sunlight reflection from the Environmental Defense Fund, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the creation of a new group he advises called the Climate Overshoot Commission, an international group of scientists and lawmakers that’s evaluating climate interventions in preparation for a world that warms beyond what the Paris Climate Accord recommended.

To be clear, nobody is saying sunlight-reflection modification is the solution to climate change. Reducing emissions remains the priority.

 

In other words, even if spraying dangerous toxins into an atmosphere we clearly don’t understand worked (at the beginning of a decade’s long-estimated-grand solar minimum), you’ll still need to give up the comforts of western civilization.

Natch!

We’ll all benefit from a colder planet with fewer fossil fuels. If that’s inconvenient to lesser mortals, so be it. And that fits their agenda, but I doubt Biden’s 5-year plan (yes, it is a self-admitted 5-year plan) will do more than turn tax dollars into campaign donations.

The only climate they are the least bit interested in changing is the one where you might vote them out of office.

“Knowingly infect.” You’ve said a mouthful, DoJ!

The post First in the Nation? Open House in Concord Tonight re: Vax appeared first on Granite Grok.

The big news in bad news today comes from everywhere but originates at Boston University. Some doctors at BU, with nothing better to do, engineered a COVID variant with an 80% kill rate in mice. As soon as the animal rights folks get done being pissed about the dead mice, they’ll probably cheer!

Related: Depopulation Progs Aren’t Transing Your Kids Out Of Empathy

The Left and its many axe-grinders are high on depopulation, which is – as far as I can tell – the only reason to take a few buckets of money and spend it on re-engineering an engineered flu virus that would succeed where the original failed. BU claims their strain would wipe out 80% of the lab rats.

If you’d like a headline on that bit of “progress,” here are a few that found their way to my inbox yesterday.

 

• Why are mad scientists creating an Omicron variant with 80% mortality?
• Boston University Doctors Create New COVID Variant that Has 80% Kill Rate — Funded by Dr. Fauci and NIH.
• Experts slam Boston lab where scientists have created a new deadly Covid strain with an 80% kill rate.

 

Why?

Well, there’s a midterm election in a few weeks that the Left would like the mad scientists to stop. That aside, why would someone do something like this? Read the abstract from the research.

 

We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant. The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor-binding motif (RBM), yet unlike naturally occurring Omicron, efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells. In K18-hACE2 mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%. This indicates that while the vaccine escape of Omicron is defined by mutations in S, major determinants of viral pathogenicity reside outside of S.

 

They appear to think the plan was to determine why Omicron was so easily spread, especially among the vaccinated.

Maybe it would have been a better idea to research how the vaccine made people more susceptible to infection, transmission, hospitalization, and death. That might make sense. But no, you create a version of COVID19 (Is this COVID22?) that is more dangerous to everyone (if dying mice are any indication).

In the name of public health, yes? Just like the previous version.

And not for nothing but if it leaks like the “wet-market bat virus” in Wuhan, do you care how many people of color or Democrats it kills you, gay-hating, racist bigot?

And while we’re on the topic of narratives (not my best segue).

Is this a good time to clear up something else that is still muddying the waters? Conservative pundits must stop saying that the original boring old lab-engineered COVID (and its offspring) killed millions.

Not to pick on Jeff Kuehner, but he must have said it a half dozen times during my short commute to work today, and it’s not just him.

Stop. Doing. That.

COVID did not kill millions. The public health industrial complex/political response killed millions.

If the bulk of the population had amped up their vitamin D intake and had access to abundant and affordable Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, millions of lives would have been saved, not just from COVID.

Hospital treatment protocol killed many. The COVID vaccines killed many. Substance abuse and suicide related to COVID policy killed many.

The vaccine is killing many due to side effects, and its recipients are more susceptible to COVID than the unvaccinated. And maybe that’s the problem BU set out to solve.

You know, kill them all and let God sort them out. Of course, they probably don’t believe in God, so there’s that.

 

[Update]: BU now says it didn’t create a killer strain of COVID.

The research, which recently took place at a level 3 biosecurity lab at BU, was probing why the new omicron ba.1 variant was better at evading immunity to previous versions of the virus, specifically the strain that first appeared in Washington state in early 2020.

BU researchers created a chimeric virus by combining an omicron spike protein — the piece of the virus that binds to human cells — with the 2020 form of the virus.

So you created a virus, “We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate…” and that virus “inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%.”

You took Omicron, which causes little to no disease, and combined it with the original version of COIVD, killing 8 out of 10 mice. And that’s not creating some sort of awful killer variant of COVID?

Were you looking for a way to kill mice? No. You were trying to understand why Omicron is so contagious. So, you took a contagious strain Mice resisted and mated it with one that makes them very sick and boom. Nothing to see here.

Okay, sure. Let’s run with that. But saying it was approved by Boston Public Health and NIAID only makes matters worse.

 

 

The post On Weaponizing COVID at Boston University and a Narrative That Needs to be Kneecapped [Updated] appeared first on Granite Grok.

The FBI, CIA, the Justice Department, the House, Senate, and the Executive Branch are all guilty. With nearly every branch dirty somehow, who do we have to clean up this mess?

This collective mess is not only embarrassing, but it is also dangerous, as our National Security has been damaged, and we have a compromised President. As each day goes by and the plot thickens, we wonder how deeply the cancer has gone. Our government is broken. It has been dysfunctional, but corruption is a different problem.

The Left spent the last seven years working endlessly to destroy Donald Trump. They started their assault during the 2016 campaign, continued throughout his Presidency, and are working now to ensure he does not play a role in the 2024 Election. Many investigative journalists showed proof of tainted cases against Trump, but the government and media looked away. Now the three-year-old Durham is starting to come up with the same facts these reporters had, and the CIA, FBI, and Justice Department are all looking as guilty as the Clintons are on their good days. Fabricated evidence, pay-offs to known liars, buried evidence, and whistleblowers coming forward indicate our Intelligence departments need to be dismantled and buried or rebuilt. The Mueller investigation is entwined in this sordid situation.

We have a Democrat Senator being driven by a Chinese Spy and a member of the House sleeping with one, and neither has been held accountable for any security breach that may have occurred. Neither was even removed from sensitive committees. Nothing to see here. Move along.

And then, we have the Biden Crime Family. For over a decade, Joe Biden, his brother, Jim, and Joe’s son Hunter have been shaking down foreign governments, officials, and companies for millions. Starting when Joe was Vice President, Hunter has been the point man for the cartel, getting paid for shadow jobs and taking money in exchange for access to his father, the VP and now President. Under investigation for months, we have laptops, emails, pictures, witnesses, and bank info showing how dirty Hunter and his family are, but, like Capone, the government may be satisfied charging the President’s son with tax violations and call it a day.

Not so fast there, my friend. The people and the Right are not ready to shut the door on the mess. That is why the election in a few short weeks is so important. While the Left is obsessed with January 6 and burying Trump, should the Right take the House, expect to see a lot of Hunter Biden in various House committee sessions. At least in these videos, he will be dressed, not smoking some drugs, and not be surrounded by naked women. He may get undressed by angry Republican Reps who want answers.

This story cannot be kept quiet any longer. It will be ugly as the layers are peeled off the onion, but the depth of this corruption has to be uncovered. The damage must be evaluated, and a plan formulated to correct the problems. Hopefully, these are not the circumstances that believers of the Constitution feared. Our forefathers feared we would not be able to keep this Republic intact. Are we at the point where it has been destroyed from within?

If you were wondering how much your health is worth, ask the folks going to Disney World in Tokyo, Japan. The theme park is offering vaccinated guests discounts if they provide proof they’ve been Jabbed.

 

“…a new “discount” has been issued that is only available to “fully-vaccinated” Guests (both domestic and international) in order to boost of vaccinations in the Land of the Rising Sun. Called the “Event Wakuwari Discount” program, a special 20% discount will be available on 1-day ticked.

Vaccinated Guests can save 20% on one-day Passports valid from October 13, 2022, to January 31

 

That’s the story, as I find it, and the source link used by GP makes the same claims. You get a 20% discount if you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine and can prove it, but I have questions.

If you read the story, it also says this.

Vaccinated Guests with disabilities and one accompanying person can purchase one-day Passports at the following rate:

Adult: 5,200 yen / 5,440 yen / 5,680 yen / 5,920 yen
Junior: 4,240 yen / 4,480 yen / 4,720 yen / 4,960 yen
Child: 3,040 yen / 3,200 yen / 3,360 yen / 3,520 yen

In order to access the special discount, Guests must provide the following:

Vaccination record (3rd vaccination completed)
PCR test negative certificate (using samples collected within 3 days before admission)
Antigen quantitative test negative certificate (collected within 3 days before admission) using the specimen)
Antigen qualitative test negative certificate (using a specimen collected within 1 day before admission)

The last three qualifications detect, if poorly in many cases, the presence of the actual virus (or so they claim), not if you’ve been vaccinated. So, how can anyone claim the discounts are restricted to the vaccinated when it appears as if they are (in fact) available to anyone who can prove they have been jabbed or passed a COVID test?

The entire idea is absurd on its face and in-depth.

It appears (and maybe I’m wrong) that the goal is to ensure the park is as COVID-free as possible. But if you’ve passed the lousy test, you may or may not have COVID. If you’ve been jabbed, you should have to take the test (but don’t) because you are more likely than the unvaccinated to have COVID.

Tokyo Disney, in other words, is not the happiest or most vaccinated place on earth. It is the stupidest place on earth.

The “will you accept the results of the election” question is a rigged question. It is a rigged question because ONLY one Party cheats … the Democrat Party.

 

It essentially asks Republican candidates to agree to waive any criticism or even question about election improprieties before these improprieties become known. In other words, the question is designed to force Republicans to agree that it is okay for Democrats to cheat.

The correct answer is that the candidate will not be silent if we see the same types of improprieties that we saw in 2020, giving specific examples. For example,

“If there is pervasive censorship of a critical issue, such as we saw in the 2020 election when Big Tech and the media all censored the Hunter Biden laptop, I will certainly speak out about that.”

The “will you accept the results of the election” question is coming. GOP candidates need to respond without projecting weakness or defensiveness.

The post How GOP Candidates Should Respond When Adam Sexton Asks The “Will You Accept The Result Of The Election” Question appeared first on Granite Grok.

Inflation and crime are up at breathtaking levels. Our status on the world stage is deteriorating, as is the morale of our nation. The vast majority of Americans believe we’re on the wrong track.

With the next election fast approaching, Democrat lawmakers want us to believe they had nothing to do with any of that. Those in tight races are desperately trying to distance themselves from a president whose policies have been abysmal failures.

Upon taking office, Joe Biden used Executive Orders to immediately begin dismantling the immigration policies that were keeping our southern border secure. The impact was profound and immediate. Hordes of foreign citizens began streaming across our border. By some estimates, Biden’s open border has so far given us five million new illegal migrants.

While Republicans were howling about Biden’s dereliction of duty, Democrat lawmakers stood mute.

Almost immediately, Biden began decimating our oil and gas industries. Gasoline prices began to spike, and inflation, which had been dormant for so many years, reared its ugly head. America, formerly energy independent, quickly became dependent on foreign adversaries for its energy needs.

Democrat lawmakers offered no objections.

Then, when Joe Biden needed Congress to pass his reckless and inflationary spending bills, Democrats were all in. The trillions of dollars, frivolously spent, often on green projects drove up inflation to near record highs.

And the historic and alarming increase in violent crime across the country can only be attributed to two things – an atmosphere of disdain for police, nurtured by Biden and Democrats, and the soft-on crime policies of liberal prosecutors.

During the 2020 rioting by BLM and Antifa, Democrats quickly labeled America’s police officers as racist. Biden was part of that. In a CBS interview, he also branded our law enforcement officers as systemically racist. Soon after came the calls to defund the police and a crop of liberal prosecutors, who seem to care more about criminals than their victims. All that was followed by a dramatic increase in violent crimes.

Now, with elections looming, Democrat politicians have become sensitive to public discontent, and are desperately trying to distance themselves from Biden and his failures.

This past year, Senator Maggie Hassan, of New Hampshire, began posing as a champion for border security. She even went so far as to visit the southern border a few months ago. Voters saw through the sham.

Now she’s campaigning as an independent thinker, the most bi-partisan senator in Congress. It was a title bestowed on her by the Lugar Center in 2021. But like so many things in politics, there’s more to it than meets the eye. It’s really just about bi-partisan sponsorship of new bills, and has nothing to do with independence from the party.

In fact, Maggie Hassan voted with Biden’s agenda 96 percent of the time.

Then, during a recent debate, Senator Mark Kelly created the illusion that he stood firmly against the president’s open border policy. He said: “When the president decided he was going to do something dumb on this and change the rules that would create a bigger crisis, I told him he was wrong.”

In fact, he did send a letter to Biden about the border. It was cosigned by Senator Kyrsten Sinema. But there were no demands to close the border. They only expressed “concern” about Biden’s plan to lift Title 42 provisions of the Public Health Service Act. That would have exponentially increased an already overwhelming border crisis.

They asked the president to “continue providing additional border management and security resources to Arizona so that our border communities do not have to bear any unnecessary burdens from Title 42 changes.” It was simply a suggestion that Biden be prepared for the massive increase in illegal immigration resulting from the planned changes.

Senator Kelly can split hairs all he wants on this issue, but the inescapable fact is that he supported Biden 94 percent of the time.

Then there’s Representative Tim Ryan, who’s now campaigning for a seat in the Senate. Ryan assures us that he “has worked to secure funding to make sure law enforcement agencies are adequately staffed, and invest in technology and resources to secure our border as effectively as possible to better keep out terrorists and criminals and prevent the spread of fentanyl and other deadly drugs.”

But he doesn’t mention the fact that he voted against appropriations for a wall on our southern border. And he doesn’t say that he supported sanctuary cities.

Nor does he mention that he voted with Biden 100 percent of the time.

Other Democrats in tenuous positions are also trying to appear moderate, but can’t erase their records. Catherine Cortez Masto voted with Biden 93 percent, and Raphael Warnock supported him 96 percent of the time.

We are where we are today because congressional Democrats have inexorably linked themselves to a president who is often confused, clearly taken in by radical environmentalists, and likely compromised by foreign adversaries. Those Democrats chose allegiance to the party over allegiance to the Constitution.

Voters, too, are strongly motivated by party loyalty. It’s one reason these races are so close. But if they can put conscience and reason before politics, we’ll see a new Congress in January. We’ll be able to correct our course and begin the long process of restoring America’s prosperity, security, and respect, both here and abroad.

Grokster Mike traveled up to Laconia and I joined him at Bernini’s (1135 Union Ave) for a campaign rally by the Don Bolduc for US Senate campaign.  Accompanying him was former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who just left the Democrat Party.  During the rally, this Lt. Colonel endorse The General whole heartedly as a man of integrity who should retired Maggie “The Red” Hassan.  That video I have not yet processed.

However, as Mike had run into the Gabbard staff earlier in the day, and had interviewed her a few years ago, her staff reached out (via the Bolduc campaign) to see if we’ be interested in a quick interview afterwards (their next stop was in Conway so it would be a quick interview). We agreed no more than 5 minutes so it was actually longer than many of our “Micro-Interviews” of the past.

We found her gracious and well spoken. While we may not see eye-to-eye on a lot of her stances, the ones she mentioned we nodded our heads on – important issues.  And yes, she was an “interesting person” to talk with even if only for 5 minutes.  I’m betting she’ll be returning soon as she figures out what that “orbit” will be.

I don’t enjoy writing this, but it has to be done. Fitness author and bodybuilder Doug Brignole made news when he admitted he’d been vaxxed. But he didn’t just announce it. He framed the mRNA Jab debate around his very survival. “If I die, you were right. …If I don’t die, you were wrong.”

Doug passed away at 63 (62?) from an apparent heart attack, and he has left this behind for us to consider.

 

Doug Brignole was a popular competitive bodybuilder, fitness expert, author, and public speaker. During his 40-year career, he won several bodybuilding titles, including the 1982 AAU Mr. America (medium tall division) and the 1986 AAU Mr. Universe (light heavyweight division). His 1986 win was his second statement victory following the Mr. America show four years earlier.

 

He was healthy and fit, and someone convinced him to get the COVID-19 vaccine, maybe because of his age. After getting Jabbed, he took to social media to clear the air, so to speak, about the vaccine.

 

 

 

Seventeen months after his Jab, he’s gone, and there’s no way to know if he was one of the unlucky ones with spike proteins lingering in his otherwise healthy body, looking for ways to undo the man.

The data continues to pile up about reactions, side effects, blood, and the time frame for every issue. We now know it doesn’t prevent infection or transmission, so that data alone would be all you need, but Dough was an early adopter of the experimental pharmaceutical.

And who knows, Doug may have been someone who, despite a healthy, active lifestyle, was predisposed to collecting plaque in his arteries as I was.

Maybe he had warning signals and ignored them (many men do).

Or, the mRNA got him the way it keeps getting other healthy folks. It finally found his heart, went to work, and boom!

All-cause mortality IS setting records, as is the number of otherwise healthy people post-COVID vaccine with cardiac conditions. Not that any of that matters.

Doug appears to have invested in himself and others in the pursuit of healthy living or inspiring it, but he’ll likley be remembered for his now-infamous social media share.

 

I have enough confidence in the vaccine, based on my research, to get it done. Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test.  If I die, you were right. If I don’t die and have no ill effects, you were wrong and should admit it (at least to yourselves). Better yet, you should admit you were misled and tell the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fearmongers.

 

So, who mislead you, Doug? What research convinced you to get “The Jab” in April of 2021 when we knew almost nothing because it was all hidden from the public?

There wasn’t much to know, but we were told. Safe and Effective. Get it, or we’ll make your life hell. Not much else.

Whatever convinced him, if he did not write that down or tell someone else, we’ll never know because that knowledge passed with Doug Brignole. A vaccine advocate who didn’t get to admit he was probably misled or to tell the world who misled him so other people could benefit by avoiding their fearmongering.

Now Come the Plaintiff, Daniel Richard, in the above-numbered and entitled action, pursuant to a Bonafide emergency, and moves the Court for this Motion for an Expedited hearing to Determine the Safety, Efficacy and Constitutionality of New Hampshire Voting Machines.

The Plaintiff believes this motion to be imperative, pursuant to the absence of critical testimony that was earlier challenged by the Defendants under NH Rules Civ. P. 27 (Expert Witness), where such testimony is not limited to the Expert report, and was intended to expand the court’s understanding toward the safety-hazards associated with the voting equipment in question, and for the Plaintiff to protect himself and in-turn fellow voters of New Hampshire from physical hazards, emotional stress, and from a constitutional tort, before the November 8, 2022 State voting date. It is for the following reasons the Plaintiff believes an amicable solution can be achieved without “any” hardship to the Defendants, while simultaneously providing a safe and accurate New Hampshire election for the Plaintiff and the people at large.

We want to thank Dan Richard for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

The Plaintiff has also not had the opportunity to provide adequate evidence and testimony in his argument regarding the constitutionality of the voting equipment in question, where testimony regarding documents from the New Hampshire State Archives can support the Plaintiff’s contention, that the current statutory laws in place are unconstitutional.

The Defendants are now attempting to circumvent the Plaintiff’s ability to provide an adequate “cause of action” and appropriate “standing” in his complaint.

In support of the Plaintiff’s Motion; the reasons herein provided by the Plaintiff are not novel in nature, and have been addressed in the State of New Hampshire and other jurisdictions.

First, on October 7, 2022 of this month, the Delaware Supreme Court and its Order in the case of Albence v. Higgin, et al. file number 342, 2022, count V of the Albence case duplicates item 1 of the Plaintiff’s complaint.1

(1 In the case of Albence v Higgins, supra, the Court considered on an expedited basis the parties’ brief, the record of appeal, and the argument of counsel.)

Secondly, the Boston regional office of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, “OSHA” is currently reviewing the issue of appropriate Safety Certification requirements for New Hampshire election workers, as a result of communications between the Plaintiff’s Public Safety Expert, (See attached email communication). These communications are predicated upon the Defendant’s third-party distributor and maintenance contractor, LHS Associates, LLC, apparently hired by the Defendants as the only company to maintain the Safety and efficacy of the New Hampshire tabulating voting equipment.

Accordingly, with the question of public safety outstanding, the Plaintiff believes it imperative to have the State’s expert witness—the State Fire Marshall2, along with the Plaintiff’s safety expert, both to attest to the recommendations for the current outstanding questions regarding safety of the Dominion Diebolt tabulating equipment.

(2 The New Hampshire State Safety Code requires the “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) as the final authority for safety in the State. The AHJ in New Hampshire is the State’s Fire Marshall)

Third, See attached copy of the certified archive copy of the 1941 Constitutional Convention amending Part I, art. 11. And the Certified Archived Copy of the Revised Laws of 1942 written pursuant to the amendment of Part I, art. 11.

Memorandum of Law

1. In light of the numerous Federal and U.S. Supreme court decisions regarding the 2020 elections, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvarthe, 493 F. Supp. 3d 331, (2021); 1. DCCC v. Ziriax, 487 F. Supp. 3d 1207, (2020); Democratic Nat’l Comm. v. Bostelmann, 488 F. Supp. 3d 776, (2020), and more cases, the federal courts have made it clear that elections are state-specific and driven by state constitutions and state statutes.

2. For the physical safety of the Plaintiff, the non-safety-tested tabulating voting equipment should and must not be used, and in accordance with the New Hampshire Bill of Rights and Constitution, regardless of the use or non-use of the said voting equipment, the Plaintiff’s vote must be hand-counted, and this hand-counting must include all voters under the equal protection clause of the New Hampshire Bill of Rights and Constitution.

3. The Plaintiff here claims; as in the Delaware Supreme court decision of Anthony J. Albence v. Michael Higgin, et al, docket no. 342, 2022, 3 New Hampshire statute Chapter 669—Town Elections §§ 669:1 — 669:75), contains the following:

a. The Vote-by-Mail Statute RSA Chapter 657, impermissibly expands the categories of absentee voters identified in Part I, art 11 as written as it violates the State’s Bill of Rights and Constitution.

b. The Same-Day Registration Statute also conflicts with the provisions of Part I, art. 11 of the State’s Bill of Rights and Constitution.

c. Additionally, the reason the above-named tabulating equipment does not have a current OSHA safety-rating, is because the voting equipment in question were tampered-with in order to modify their originally intended use. This tampering is a violation of New Hampshire law 659:42. (Tampering With Electronic Ballot Counting Devices), and currently violate the Plaintiff’s due-process rights under Article 15 of the New Hampshire Bill of Rights and Constitution, and a violation of federal
regulatory law under OSHA.

(3 Delaware Court ORDER, October 7, 2022.)

4. In the instant case, for the purpose of injunction relief, the Plaintiff has clearly established an actual, concrete, particularized, and imminent threat of physical harm as well as harm from a constitutional tort, to establish standing. See Memphis A. Philip Randolph Inst. v. Hargett, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit | Oct 15, 2020 | 978 F.3d 378. Compare the federal court’s stance regarding mail-in absentee ballot fraud, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvar, United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania | Oct 10, 2020 | 493 F. Supp. 3d 331, where the State’s constitution was not invoked.

5. In the case here before this court, judicial intervention is necessary because, as in the Delaware case, supra, statutory deadlines for mail-in registration applies opposite to State’s Bill of Rights, and absentee voting under RSA Chapter 657 ‘as written’ must be deemed unconstitutional in New Hampshire. Compare Democratic Nat’l Comm. v. Bostelmann, United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin | Sep 21, 2020 | 488 F. Supp. 3d 776.

6. Preliminary injunction was granted in part because limited relief from statutory deadlines for mail-in registration and absentee voting under Wis. Stat. §§ 6.86, 6.87, 6.88 was necessary to avoid an untenable impingement on Wisconsin citizens’ right to vote, including those voters relying on the state’s absentee ballot process.

7. The Plaintiff cited in his complaint and in oral arguments that the Amendments of Part First the Bill of Rights article 11, for absentee voting in the 1942 were evidence of his claims, (see Count V), see attached certified archive copies of the Constitutional Convention resulting in the amendment of Part I, art. 11 detailing the 2 constitutional exemptions for absentee voting, and the statutes written pursuant thereof.

8. Count V claims that statutes in RSA Chapter 657 expands the exceptions by which absentee voting (mail in voting) may be claimed or exercised, in direct violation of the current constitutional requirements defined by Part I, art. 11, without the consent of the voters required by Part I, art, 1. And the procedural due process required to amend or alter the constitution as required by Part II, art. 100.

9. The Plaintiff motions the court for expedited hearing of expert testimony, and eye witness accounts of poll workers tuning off voting machines, after witnessing them short circuit and malfunction, when paper ballots get wet on rainy days or exposed to hand sanitizer after use of hand sanitizer used at polling places.

10. As the Plaintiff stated in his oral arguments at the first hearing, The state is to blame for the timing of this direct challenge of said statutes which alter and infringe upon the Bill of Rights, without the consent of the voters as detailed in Count II. IV. V. The Plaintiff has exhausted all available means of redress since May 20th of 2019 before the legislature which has jurisdiction to repeal laws under Part First, article 29, but unfortunately the legislature has refused to hear the Remonstrances of the Plaintiff, which is why this complaint is now before this Honorable Court.

11. The Plaintiff notices the Court to take Judicial Notice of the statement made by the Defendants in their Motion to Dismiss, item number fourteen.

12. The Plaintiff submits the following evidence, so that your honor may the judge weather the Defendants statements submitted to this Court in this matter were disingenuous or negligent.

13. Defendants have stated the following in their motion to dismiss, Item # 14 “There is not, nor has there ever been, a constitutional right to have one’s vote hand counted in New Hampshire. Outside of statutorily described circumstances such as recounts, there is no constitutional provision, statute, or jurisprudence that would support such a right.” Defendants Motion to Dismiss Item #14.

14. The Attorney General Office and the Attorneys representing the state and Town of Auburn, have sworn an oath, and they have accepted an emolument, therefore they have a fiduciary duty as trustees of the public trust, to uphold and support the Constitution of New Hampshire and the Constitution of the United States, and the laws written pursuant thereof.

15. The Defendants state there is no law, no constitutional provision, statute, or jurisprudence that would support such a right. Such a statement by the Defendants is not true.

Opinion of the Justices, 53 N.H. 640 (1873) May 28, 1873 · New Hampshire Supreme Court 53 N.H. 640, last cited by the N.H. Supreme Court in 1974. The following sections of chapter 30 of the General Statutes relate to the “Election of Representatives in Congress:”

“Section 4. The meetings in the several towns in each district shall be warned and governed, and the returns of votes for representatives shall be made out, signed, certified, sealed, directed, transmitted, receipted for, examined, and counted, at the same time and in the same manner as provided for the returns of votes for senators.”

“Section 5. Upon such examination and count, the person having the largest number of votes returned in any district shall be declared *642duly elected, and tlie governor shall forthwith transmit to the person so elected a certificate of such election under the seal of the state, signed by himself, and countersigned by the secretary.”

Article 32 of Part II of the Constitution, provides that town-meetings for the choice of senators shall be governed by a moderator, who shall, in the presence of the selectmen, in open meeting, receive the votes, and shall, in the presence of the selectmen and town-clerk in said meetings, sort and count the votes, and make a public declaration thereof, with the name of every person voted for, and the numb’er of votes for each person, and the town-clerk shall make a fair record of the same, at large, in the town-book, and shall make out a fair attested copy thereof, to be sent to the secretary of state.

Chapter 28, “Section 15. The moderator shall, in the meeting, in presence of the selectmen and town-clerk, sort and count the votes, and make a public declaration of the whole number of tickets given in, with the name of every person voted for, and the number of votes for each person, and the town-clerk shall make a fair record thereof at large in the books of the town.”

Chapter 29, “Section 2. The town-clerk shall make out a fair and exact copy of the record of all votes given in at any such meeting, for governor, for councilor, and for senator, upon distinct and separate pieces of paper; shall certify upon each copy that the same is a true copy of said record, and shall seal said copies separately, and direct and forward the same to the secretary of state, with a superscription upon each expressing the purport thereof, on or before the first day of April next ensuing.”

In any case to which these constitutional provisions are applicable, they are the controlling and the supreme law of the state, and, by the statute first cited, they are made applicable to representatives in congress. The constitution and these statutes are too explicit to leave any doubt in our minds of the general duty of the moderator to count the votes, and make a public declaration of the result of his count, or of tlio general duty of the town-clerk to make a record of the moderator’s declaration of that result. The only construction we are-able to give to the words “a fair record of the same” in the constitution, and “a fair record thereof” in the statutes, is, that they mean a record of the “public declaration.” The clerk is not an appellate tribunal to overrule the moderator, or to correct an error in the moderator’s count and declaration, or to make a record, of the votes, in accordance with a count made by himself, or in accordance with any other evidence than the moderator’s count and declaration. The clerk is responsible, not for the accuracy of the moderator’s count or declaration, but for his own accuracy in making a correct record of that count and declaration, and in making a correct copy of the record to be sent to the *643 secretary of state. The moderator’s declaration is to be public, in open town-meeting, in presence of the selectmen, town-clerk, and all others who may take an interest in the election, and be able and willing to detect and expose any error, and obtain a correction of it immediately, when it can be most easily corrected. And ‘the framers of the constitution and of the statutes referred to evidently relied to a considerable extent upon the publicity of the declaration as a means of obtaining a correct count and a correct record, and did not rely upon the clerk as a tribunal for the silent correction of errors, not publicly corrected by the moderator himself in open town-meeting.

16. The Plaintiff cited in his complaint and in oral arguments that the Amendments of Part First the Bill of Rights article 11, for absentee voting in the 1942 were evidence of his claims, see attached certified archive copies of the amendments and the statutes written pursuant thereof. The following statutes requires that the moderator shall count the ballots. And just like they did in 1784, and then 89 years later in 1873, and then 69 years later in 1942, the ballots were examined and counted by hand as voting machines don’t exist during this period in history, this is a historical fact. Prior to the introduction of electronic voting tabulating devices, ballots were examined (sorted) and counted by humans who have hands, but more importantly is the ability to examine ballots and the signatures, in order to verify the legitimacy of the ballot, which a machine cannot do.

17. Revised laws of N.H. 1942, pg. 148, 79. Counting ballots:

Immediately after the polls are closed the ballots shall be examined and the votes for the several candidates and on any questions submitted shall be counted by the moderator, in the presence of the town clerk, the selectmen and the other election officers herein provided. The counting shall be public but within the quad-rail, and shall not be adjourned nor postponed until it shall have been completed, and the whole number of ballots cast for each person and on each question submitted to the voters shall have been announced…

18. With the addition of absentee voting, we see the statutory application that the examination of mail in ballots must be done by hand as a voting machine cannot examine the ballots and the signatures of the mail in votes, therefore they must sorted and counted by the moderator by hand, as this is the usage and custom of the law until the introduction of machine counting of ballots.

19. The Plaintiff moves the Court to take judicial notice that the Town of Auburn failed to provide a hand count box which Atty. Michael Tierney told the court would be made available at the Town of Auburn, which it did not. The Plaintiff protested and refused to deposit his vote in the machine, until election officials went and retrieved a box, putting into doubt the secrecy of the Plaintiffs right to a secret ballot. Such actions are also a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and federal voting law Title 52 U.S. Code § 10101 Voting rights (2) (A), all voters must be treated the same.

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully motions this Court for an expedited hearing, due to the urgency of resolving the Safety and Constitutional issues before the election on November 8th, 2022, as stated in this motion.

I, Daniel Richard, swear under pains and penalties that foregoing is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.

The post Motion for Expedited Hearing to Determine the Safety, Efficacy, and Constitutionality of NH Voting Equipment, and Voting Statutes appeared first on Granite Grok.

It seems we are in for some big changes. Some say there will be real physical changes made to the human being by design — our DNA will be maliciously fiddled with. I am not able to foresee what may happen in that regard. I’m here to address the way basic forces of biology are acting upon us.

I have always been interested in morality and law on the one hand, and exploitation and war on the other. My Ph.D. dissertation, “The Moral Relationship of States” [‘states’ as in nation-states], followed the sociobiology of Richard Alexander in his book “The Biology of Moral Systems” (1987). He believed that Homo sapiens has moral restraints on individual selfishness, thanks to war. Yes, war.

Alexander says: Tribe A fights with Tribe B for resources, and if Tribe B possesses great skills for the cooperation of the team and obedience to the leader, it will prevail. Those adaptive traits will result in reproductive success for the B’ers — meaning more B’s will get born. As for the A people, their chaotic selfishness may cause them to have no future. The genes of B have come down to us — we are all B’s. The A populations fizzled out.

I published my thesis in 1990 as “Morality among Nations,” proclaiming that there is no such thing as “loving the whole human race” and therefore, we shouldn’t look forward to an emergence of “international law.” Law is something a group conjures up to keep in-group relations under control. If there is any “moral principle” as to how to treat outside groups, it is “Decimate them” (unless you need them as neighbors or trading partners). Or as the Bible says, “Smite them.”

Our Civilization Became Unfit for the Environment

Mammals have to spend their day seeking water, food, warmth, and security (and possibly “a mating experience”). Humans, being mammals, do this, whether they live in a primitive society or a high-tech society. It is biologically required; there is no way around it.

You say that you don’t spend your day seeking water and food? OK, the water comes to you from the town’s main supply to your taps, and the food is already on a shelf for you in the shop without your having planted it, harvested it, or hunted it.

The warmth could come by a gas pipeline or from the electricity grid. The security against local attackers comes to you by, say, religious rules and if necessary, by police. Security against a competing population comes to you by your society’s army, or by concession if the other group is stronger. As Thucydides said “The strong exact what they can and the weak grant what they must.”

But things are not going well. I will speak of the country where I live, the United States. Five problems jump out:

1. The high standard of living has become everyone’s expectation, but the economic basis of it is collapsing (possibly by design) and the financial system is thought to be a chimera, so there is personal insecurity, with many likely consequences that are yet to manifest themselves.
2. This high standard of living is a burden on the physical plant. We have harmed the environment by such means as pesticides, fracking, overfishing, GMO foods, pollution of the air and rivers, and by depleting the aquifers. Did we think we could do this indefinitely? (Please read EO Wilson’s “Half Earth.”)
3. In-group morality has changed. It is a premise of sociobiology that persons are willing to follow rules when they perceive their neighbors doing so. But there are free riders who don’t obey. (They jump the turnstile, so to speak.) If a certain percentage are free riders, or are even just rumored to be free riders, we, too, stop paying the fare, as we don’t want to be “chumps.”
4. There is another issue regarding in-group morality. Many players, including members of the professions, are no longer impressed by the morality that they dutifully followed a few decades ago. I have written a lot about this, usually framing the problem as the protection of criminals at the top, such as by the DoJ. When we see the most famous people getting away with murder, we don’t necessarily imitate them (we don’t jump the murder turnstile), but we stop adhering to the noble ethics of yore.
5. A separate matter is that many once-moral people have had their brains tampered with, such that they think of the immoral things they are doing as right and just. What an achievement on the part of the jubjub birds who invented the technique for this!

I see all five problems as making a social collapse quite probable in the near future.

The Enemy Is (Mostly) Us

I suppose all of those five problems could have come about with no foreign influence. I became American at birth in 1947 (baby boomer time) and saw all that was happening as being the private affair of my nation. The thing about our food and electricity being delivered to our door was considered very positive. (Heck, I don’t want to be a drawer of water and a hewer of wood — just watching the log-chopping contest at the state fair makes me exhausted.)

The stuff about overfishing and pollution was understood by my generation to be naughty, perhaps after Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962. (The spring season would be silent because no birdsong, because of a major destruction of Earth’s ecology by the use of DDT.)

But we thought some activists would take care of it, maybe with a lawsuit or two, and maybe the big fishing companies would become conservation minded. As for the change in morality, as seen in the downgrading of character-building, it seemed to follow from the trend of the Sixties wherein we learned to scoff at authority. I found the Sixties atmosphere very liberating.

Perhaps it was when conspiracy theory started to get popular, after 9-11, that we got wind of an unfriendly force within the American government. This was frightening. Remember: security is one of our mammalian needs. A lot of people can’t handle the idea of bad government leaders and so they deny the problem.

I will now mention the hunt for the enemy, but please note that while there is apparently an enemy causing numbers 4 and 5 above, our civilization may well collapse from numbers 1 to 3.

Searching for an External Enemy

Who would want to make mincemeat of America? History tells us that when two nations compete, they would each be happy to make mincemeat of the other. Although I indicated above that it’s competition for resources that makes a tribe’s meanness rise to great heights, it can sometimes be a competition for glory.

Or it could be in response to an insult. By the way, although I lived outside the US for half my life and am aware of our lousy reputation, few Americans know of it. They think we are admired. No joke. Remember when President Bush 43 said “They hate us for our freedoms”? He was believed. Never mind that we decimated the Iraqi city of Fallujah for no reason. That wouldn’t have made the natives angry, would it?

Still, it’s worth trying to identify the outside enemy. Many people name Israel. Anton Chaitkin, in his 1990 book “Treason in America,” names Switzerland. I generally name the Brits. At least they got down to stating their plans for world takeover. Fancy wanting the sun to never set on your empire! The group that met at Oxford in 1890, led by Lord Milner, with shades of Cecil Rhodes’ will, was called the Roundtable.

The Roundtable created the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the RIIA, which met at Chatham House, London. In 1921 those guys created the US’s Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR. And that Council has undermined our republic like mad. Many presidents, vice-presidents, and Cabinet members have been CFR members. Look especially at the Secretaries of State and of Defense; it’s disgusting. Traitors in plain sight.

Globalism

Their treason consists in their willingness to undermine America’s national sovereignty, which would inevitably throw the US Constitution in the dumpster. By 1990, President Bush 41, addressing a joint session of Congress, felt bold enough to announce a New World Order.

How could an American president say such a thing? We aren’t in charge of the world, are we? Um, is the world in charge of us? Pardon me for reading the UN Charter of 1945 to say that there are separate independent nations. (There were 56 nation-states at the time that charter was signed, and over 190 now.)

It has to be admitted though, that ol’ man Rockefeller, a super-globalist, donated the land for the building of the UN headquarters in New York. And soon, into the UN mix, came the Bretton Woods invention of the World Bank (to help currency stability, you know) and the International Monetary Fund, the IMF (to assist poor nations, you know.)

The brains behind that financial takeover of the world must be given credit. I call it sensational. A total wow, without a shot being fired. Millions of people killed by starvation, maybe, but not a shot fired. Ingenious, ingenious.

I should mention that in 1919, at the Treaty of Versailles, the Powers That Be sat at a table and carved up parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, gerrymandering territory as they pleased. And in 1975, in Peru, their Lima Declaration carved up the world economy, according to a private scheme. They had the unmitigated cheek to determine which commodities would be produced where and sold where.

Recall that one of Dr Richard Day’s 1969 announcements (from his Rockefeller base) was that Detroit — Motown — would start making slightly faulty automobiles so that Americans would get disgusted and start importing Japanese cars. I remember when these “compact cars” were a novelty and won people over. “As planned!” Little did we consumers know.

What Will Happen Biologically?

Please note that I’m pretty sure the aforementioned claims are accurate. But now, in the rest of this article, I’ll be speaking of the future, so I can only make guesses. I ain’t got no crystal ball. And I ain’t got no mimeographed copy of Rockefeller’s, wishes, as Dr Day did. Let me use my education in sociobiology as a way of theorizing what could happen.

At the moment, there are more than 8 billion humans on this planet. They are all mammals with the above-listed needs such as food and water. There is no way all of them can enjoy the high lifestyle of Americans.

Neither can Americans! An internal enemy is destroying our access to food even as we speak. Publicly controlled mains water and the electricity grid are perfectly vulnerable to a shut-off. And if the bridge to Crimea can be blown up, so can the Brooklyn Bridge.

Water reservoirs could be poisoned with ease. I may begin to wish I were a drawer of water and a hewer of wood! As for security, look at the bizarre plan of the Democrat Party to defund the police. Or look at the headlines in the Daily News for the latest weird violence. “Woman cuts grandson’s foot off,” or whatever.

The United States cannot survive as a civilized place. The party’s over. As I said, the professions — including academics and clergy — no longer act as though Conscience comes first. I think they are mind-controlled. Or maybe all people have a capacity for what Orwell described as self-hypnosis. It makes doublethink a breeze.

Major Demographic Influences

The big change that has happened in our species involves three demographic factors:

1. Nations (“tribes”) became so large that it was possible for wrongdoers to hide from punishment, and the tenor of morality couldn’t be kept up, because you need to be able to know your community and keep an eye out for breaches. We’re all atomized now.
2. It became possible for a “globalist” band of leaders, to exist outside the moral agreements of any society. Thus, they could be much more ruthless than you or I. And for a century or so, while acting behind the scenes, they placed their servants in office via bribes or intimidation. So, instead of having a national leader who will pull us together, we have one whose task is to pull us apart. How’s that for amazing?
3. In any case the stress on the environment of 8 billion people is too great. I think there is a genocide going on. But maybe it’s what ecologists call “a population crash.” This sometimes happens to bird populations. They overbreed, use up the entire available supply of resources, and then fall flat. All starve.

For all of these disasters to happen, no genetic change in the human species would be needed. Yet on top of all such goings on, a few members of the jubjub set are intent on turning the human species into something other than the one we know and love. Noah Harari, from Klaus Schwab’s WEF — World Economic Forum — is gung-ho for this to happen, and boasts about it on YouTube.

If you want to reject WEF’s plans, or want to correct some of the other problems listed here, go ahead and try. The world is waiting for your intelligence, your moral sensibility, and most of all, your enlightened self-interest. I believe you will also need anger, aggressiveness, and the lack of moral restraint that we possess genetically for the attacking of enemies.

That’s how God made it. Thank you, God.

The post A Sociobiological Peek at Our Situation appeared first on Granite Grok.

Biden says the most lethal threat to America is “white supremacy”.  Wouldn’t repeated, deliberately harming, or allowing others to harm minorities expose white supremacists?

Democrat politicians are anti-police, including “Defunding”, actions allowed murders to skyrocket last year; approximately 8900 blacks were killed by other blacks.  On average, in 2000-2016, “white supremacists” killed 3 blacks annually.  The ADL says white supremacists committed 13 murders, for any extremist reason, last year; most murders committed by extremists were other gang members or crime victims.

In 2020 Democrat Mayors allowed rioters to devastate minority neighborhoods, killing dozens, injuring thousands, and destroying hundreds of minority-owned businesses providing needed services to minorities.

Democrat-caused inflation hurts everyone, especially poor people.

Democrat politicians harm poorer minorities by depriving them of good schools and the policing needed for safe neighborhoods.  Democrat sanctuary for illegal aliens reduces minority citizens’ access to decent-paying jobs, housing, and healthcare.

Democrat hero Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to help Jews trying to escape the Holocaust.  The New York Times suppressed news of the Holocaust.  Democrat President Wilson re-segregated the civil service.  Democrat hero Margaret Sanger created Planned Parenthood to exterminate blacks.

Biden and others lie about Trump’s statements condemning all violence in Charlottesville, whether by neo-Nazis, white nationalists, or the leftists involved in the mostly white-on-white fights.    Trump elaborates in a press conference scheduled to discuss infrastructure.  Trump never called violent people “fine people”; claims to the contrary are lies.

Democrat politicians cause far more death and harm to all minorities, and whites, than people labeled white supremacists.  Democrats scream “white supremacy” to divert attention from the suffering that Democrats themselves cause in their pursuit of their power, wealth, and ideology.

To start healing from the Democrat caused suffering, vote straight Republican.

They’re flying so thick and fast it is amazing.  And take heart – there will be a Meme Overflow and I will back-edit to include the link.  And potentially there will be a Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow.  Last Friday’s offering here.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III) can often be hidden inside humor.  Stand by for Thought Splinters IV… going to try and push this through to DONE this week.  And I’ve started a couple of actual essays that should get up soonish.  Waiting, also, for Tommy Robinson’s Urban Scoop to edit and post my third piece on Civilizational Collapse and Biology (Part 1, Part 2).

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

The best destroyer is a man with a slave psyche, a slave in his spirit. It absolutely does not matter what status a slave has in society – the point is what is inside him. The origin of the cult of slavery and violence, excessive ego and pleasure, was precisely the ancient slave-owning societies. Today, we are only a modern modernization of such a society.

The history of the Ancient World can be briefly described in this way: in order to enrich and enslave neighboring peoples, rulers with a slave psyche control slaves.

It is in such a society that slaves of any status and rank are eager for power, for power is the only value that a slave perceives and realizes in spirit. Why? It’s simple: power and money are one and the same – this is all that a slave – a destroyer – lives for. Such a person does not need spiritual values, and for the sake of achieving money and power, a slave in spirit, regardless of his status (president, deputy, citizen), is capable of committing the lowest deed, any evil.

Are we any different from the society of the Ancient World?

Even an uninitiated person understands that the war to exterminate all living things and to turn a flourishing country into a desert is nothing more than a service to the statist Chaos.

It’s official. The 2022 hurricane prediction season is a bust. With only a few weeks left in October (November hurricanes are rare), there is nothing to see here. And I mean nothing.

Related: “The Warmer Air-Warmer Oceans-More/Severe Hurricane Myth Continues to Have a Rough Season”

As of this morning, nothing is coming. Nothing is getting ready. Nothing.

 

 

No storms, depressions, or disturbances, Oh, My!

But that’s not the news.

 

May 24, 2022: NOAA predicts above-normal 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season – “Ongoing La Niña, above-average Atlantic temperatures set the stage for busy season ahead.”

 

After July passed with no named storms and nearly nothing to speak of for activity, NOAA doubled down.

 

Aug 4: NOAA still expects above-normal Atlantic hurricane season – “Atmospheric and oceanic conditions still favor an above-normal 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, according to NOAA’s annual mid-season update issued today by the Climate Prediction Center.”

 

The media was, of course, happy to repeat this because it’s NOAA, right? Sure, they tamper with historical data and aid and abet the CLimate CUlt’s Marxist agenda, but their mission is to … do something or something. Even FOX News carried some water, though not with the sort of enthusiasm as other so-called media watchdogs.

 

Aug 14: Hurricane season 2022 running behind schedule: “Here are the important benchmarks to watch for – The accumulated cyclone energy produced by tropical systems so far in 2022 is 80% below an average year.”

 

Typically, El Niño seasons produce limited tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin, but the world is currently experiencing a La Niña.

Usually, during a La Niña, upper-level winds tend to be more relaxed, and water temperatures are warmer in the basin.

For the most part, La Niña has held up to its norms – water temperatures are warmer than average and large sections of the Gulf, Caribbean and Atlantic are free from hostile shear.

“Typically” took the season off, and everyone is baffled by it, but what does that mean?

After a half-century of satellite data and several decades into the computer age, the earth’s climate is still too complex for experts to understand. Getting it right increasingly looks more like luck than skill. And while we’ll take luck because it can save lives, we should not base political policy that expends trillions of dollars on a partisan agenda (Climate Change) based on the whimsy of shamans and medicine men who, despite all the advances, are still guessing and getting it wrong.

After reading how ignorant the Democrats are of the abortion laws in New Hampshire in State Representative Len Turcotte’s OP-ED, I feel compelled to respond to the Democrat commercials on TV and smear campaigns conducted through the mail targeting Don Bolduc, Karoline Leavitt, and NH State Rep. Melissa Blasek.

We want to thank Russ Payne for this Op-Ed Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

They claim anybody who believes in the “Right To Life” is an “extremist.” Is it possible that all Democrats are so ignorant about who the real extremists are?

Just as the Marxist principle of Reversal has been utilized throughout their history to confuse and keep the masses ignorant of truth, Democrats implement the same strategy:” always accuse your adversary that they are evil and that all that you do is righteous.”

Even though God’s Holy Word tells us that “Righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach to any people,” the Democrats have successfully convinced their members that they are the ones who should determine what righteousness is. Their strategy to rewrite history has been successful for generations in school. Teaching American history without God is bearing fruit.

Let’s just look at the birthing document of our nation.

The Declaration of Independence says that “We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights which are: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Take note, the God-given first right that they desired to secure is “life.” Unfortunately, this truth doesn’t help the gross profit of Planned Parenthood. Think about it: this perversion of reality that an ingenious marketing program has created rides a road to profit on ignorance of the truth. Democrats have for many decades been manipulated to hate big business, always representing the working man. Yesterday, you were told these profitable enterprises were evil.

But today, the enterprise that profits from the death of the unborn to sell body parts is not evil. This word-smithing skillfully manipulates minds and uses people. Good folks who vote Democrat need to take this thought into mind as they vote: when will word-smithing be turned on them? Today it is law to kill the unborn in NH up to 24 weeks. Will tomorrow bring euthanasia for you?

Pastor Martin Niemoller’s powerful historical verdict should be a lesson to the wise:

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Democrats, beware! The beast you helped create might turn on you!

Priests had nothing on public school teachers regarding pedophilia and child sex crimes, but Priests don’t have union connections to state and federal government so guess what? You hear about one and rarely the other. If it were a priest or a Republican, I like to say (just look at Jeffrey Epstein), but the truth is a different story.

Related: Because Someone Asked For It – Public School Sex Abuse For The Record

Pedophiles go where the kids are, and the kids are in public schools. The Democrats insist. And that’s where a lot of child sex assault happens. It’s so bad they have institutionalized it (grooming), defending it as if it were a right more potent than that of parents to know or stop it.

And the educators keep sexually abusing the kids.

 

Nearly 270 public educators were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. in the first nine months of this year, ranging from grooming to raping underage students.

An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital found that from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, at least 269 educators were arrested, which works out to roughly one arrest a day.

The 269 educators included four principals, two assistant principals, 226 teachers, 20 teacher’s aides and 17 substitute teachers.

 

Those are the ones with arrests. And while not all of those will result in convictions, innumerable school cases are missed or yet to find daylight.

 

“[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?” she said. “The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.” (emphasis added)

 

We know from experience that schools, administrators, teachers, and even students are dissuaded from reporting abuse.

Hiding systemic child sex abuse behind rainbow-tinted glasses was genius. Sinister and despicable, but genius. Pedophiles, with the support of the Democrat party and the union machinery, can get off on talking to little kids, to your kids, about sex or sexuality regardless of age.

It’s disgusting.

“Progressivism reconstructed American liberalism by dismantling the free market of classical liberalism and erecting in its place the welfare state of modern liberalism. The new liberalism discarded economic liberties as archaic impediments to necessary improvements to society’s health, welfare, and morals. . .”

(e.g., The “Collective” over the Individual – Individual Liberty being the entity on which this country was founded (see Declaration of Independence) ).

But the original progressives’ illiberal turn did not stop at property and contract rights. They assaulted political and civil liberties, too, trampling on individual rights to person, to free movement, to free expression, to to marriage and to reproduction. The progressives denied millions these basic freedoms, on grounds that their inferiority threatened America’s economic and hereditary security. They were wrong on both counts. That did not stop them, nor has it stopped those who, unaware of the history, repeat the same false claims today.”
