Spooky Science Sunday
Leave Marie Antoinette alone!
Lock. Her. Up!
And Throw Away The Key
Do we still sentence people to hard labor? We should. Making spoiled bottle-blond pukes like this do farm labor from dawn-to-dark daily for their own subsistence would be a start. No work, no food. And don't let her have any hair coloring while she's locked up.Ryan J. Reilly / HuffPost:
Jan. 6 ‘Influencer’ Who Said She's ‘Definitely Not Going To Jail’ Should Go To Jail, Feds Say — Jenna Ryan, a Trump-loving real estate broker, called Jan. 6 “one of the best days of my life” and bragged that she wouldn't go to jail because she's white.

Lying Liars & The Lies They Tell
Blow me, Bill Maher. And fuck you, Fox News.
Cut out their lying tongues & break their lying typing fingers.
I mean, Bill fucking Maher wears a useless fucking rag* around his useless fucking pencil-neck because of imagined horseshit concerning "respect" for his viewers ("You're in their living room, Bill.") when he's on telebision. Why is sporting a "diaper" over his ugly mouth & nose for an actual protective purpose such a big deal? It's as if he's both a cretin & mentally ill. Or just a fucking asshole.
*Be funny to have a little neck-tie party for ol' Bill, wouldn't it? Strangle his lying two-faced ass w/ that phony tie.

Today's Fakest News: ISIS To Attack Temples Of Commodity Fetishism
Don't Believe the Hype
Anyone find it interesting that this alleged threat is revealed the wknd. before the Virginia election? (Or that the "threat" is against malls rather than churches/synagogues? Someone, ISIS, or whoever in national security made it up, knows where America's heart really is.)If there actually is an attack on the malls I guarantee you it will be a false flag operation, probably perpetrated by the same police dep'ts./National Security Nazis that spread these rumours to the sucker-ass chumps of WTOP & CBS News. Fuck the plice & the media. And burn the malls. Shop locally at locally businesses.

Unsure why the day of the wk. makes any actual difference to unemployed (& unemployable, ha ha ha) me. Hell, wknds. as the squares know them haven't meant beans to me since I was reduced to retail wage-slavery a quarter-century ago, in the previous millennium.
And now I'm reduced to doing crap like this for nothing. W/ two still to go. Maybe I'm expressing solidarity w/ any wage-slaves left out there. Take a page from the Bouffant book; tell your bosses to fuck right off & die & then get a county croaker to declare you a total fucking loon. (It's right there in the DSM.) You'll be on the free money gravy train before you know it.

Just Another "Antifa" False Flag Crisis Actor, Or Something ...
Violent convicted felon thugs like this MAGA maggot live among you:
This seditious s.o.b. is an obvious danger to society. Lock him up & throw away the key.A 50-year-old felon facing charges of attacking two people at a “Stop the Steal” rally and counterprotest outside Santa Ana College last year is now charged with participating in attempts to breach the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to court records obtained Wednesday.Kim Michael Sorgente was named in a complaint Oct. 21 in federal court in Washington, D.C., charging him with civil disorder and being in a restricted building or grounds. The federal investigation began March 15, just two days before he was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon related to the Dec. 6 protest at 17th and Bristol streets in Santa Ana, according to court records.
Sorgente is charged with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon in the Santa Ana protest case. He is accused of attacking two people with a megaphone, according to the criminal complaint.
[...]
Sorgente was convicted of carjacking May 7, 1996, in San Bernardino County Superior Court, according to court records.
[...]
Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley released a statement Wednesday saying Sorgente is an “active anti-mask and anti-vaccine movement organizer in Orange County.”
Foley said he is a “dangerous individual,” who protested outside of her house when she was Costa Mesa mayor.
“He again joined others to protest at my home earlier this year and verbally harassed my family, interrupted my remarks at an event in Huntington Beach to remember the victims of the 9/11 tragedy, which required a police escort to my vehicle to safely leave the event, and most recently attempted to disrupt an event related to the oil spill” that was held in Laguna Beach, Foley said.

Funny, we hear the rapist community has been backing you for at least 30 yrs.“Liberty University’s new president, Jerry Prevo, told a top university official this year that he wanted the large Christian school to become a more effective political player with the goal of helping to influence elections,” Politico reports.“The comments by Prevo, a Liberty trustee who took over as president following the resignation last year of Jerry Falwell Jr., raise new questions about the blurred line between education and politics at the university, which as a 501(c)(3) charity is not supposed to participate directly in political campaigns.”
Said Prevo: “I have a 50c3 church. For 30 years, I’ve known how to handle that and not get into trouble. The homosexual community has tried to take me down for at least 30 years, and they have not been successful because I know how to work the 50c3.”

Real World Horror For Hallowe'en
Witches Sabbath of intellectual scum to convene on Hallowe'en:
Why "western" democracies? Perhaps western ones are special simply because they're, you know, "western", which, I must suspect, means "whiteEuropean" to Ellwanger. Not unlike current white Xian paradise Hungary.
Today, the conservative intellectuals who first came together in defense of Trumpism and under the banner of National Conservatism are preparing the ideological terrain for a post-liberal America. Not to take them seriously betrays a historical naïveté and a fetishization of the intellect—as if intelligence has never walked alongside moral and political horror—as well as a dreadful overconfidence in the immediate appeal of the liberal democratic worldview.
Whoa there, cowpoke. Who exactly is threatening "to destroy the traditions and conceptual foundations of western democracies"? Sissy liberals? Or the kind of shitheel who wants "western democracy" to mean oligarchy, rule by the elites, a limited franchise & so on? These vast intellects are living in Bizarro World, & the AT&T/Warner Bros./DC Comics industrial complex should evict them directly to lunatic asylums.Laura Field / New Republic:
Pro-Trump Professors Are Plotting an Authoritarian Comeback — On Halloween, the second National Conservatism conference, or NatCon II, will kick off in Orlando, Florida. It is hard to know quite what to make of the lineup for the three-day fest, which boasts a few household names …Brad Reed / Raw Story: These far-right intellectuals saw Trump's presidency as a ‘trial balloon’ — and have much worse things plannedAdam Ellwanger / The American Mind: Preparing the Way Ahead — In the summer of 2019, just a few months before the onset of the pandemic, a few dozen right-leaning intellectuals met in Washington, D.C. They came together because they shared a feeling that America was at a dangerous impasse—one in which liberal ideology, approaching its sociocultural endgame, threatened to destroy the traditions and conceptual foundations of western democracies. This conference, dubbed “National Conservatism,” made news across the world. Organized by the Edmund Burke Foundation, the conference is now viewed by some as the beginning of the intellectual effort to galvanize a new coalition of political tribes that might be equipped to resist the looming threats to western life—both at home and abroad.

Can't Get A Job, Can't Get A Job
It is the firm editorial position of this web-log that all bosses should have their lying tongues cut from their lying mouths. Let's see the useless pricks give orders w/o tongues.
- Businesses across the US say they are struggling to find employees, especially for hourly work.
- Joey Holz decided to test their claims, submitting two applications a day in September.
- Holz got one interview, and his summary of the experiment went viral on multiple platforms.
Joey Holz recalled first hearing complaints about a labor shortage last year when he called to donate convalescent plasma at a clinic near Fort Myers, Florida."The guy went on this rant about how he can't find help and he can't keep anybody in his medical facility because they all quit over the stimulus checks," Holz told Insider. "And I'm like, 'Your medical professionals quit over $1,200 checks? That's weird.'"
[...]
Holz isn't alone. Others have also spoken out about their troubles finding work, despite the seemingly tight labor market.
In a Facebook post on September 29, which went viral on Twitter and Reddit as well, Holz said, "58 applications says y'all aren't desperate for workers, you just miss your slaves."

How Many Strangers Did Typhoid Prager Murder W/ His Hugging?
Hey Carlos Garcia, turn green & die, O.K.?Justin Rohrlich / The Daily Beast:
Dennis Prager Announces He Has COVID After Hugging ‘Thousands’ to Get It — The right-wing personality offered dangerous advice to his audience about achieving natural immunity, which can kill a person in the process. — Right-wing personality and talk radio host Dennis Prager, who once “proved” COVID was nothing to worry about by describing his habit of eating with dirty utensils in restaurants, has now contracted COVID.But, this wasn’t a bad thing, Prager insisted. In fact, getting sick with the virus was his plan all along, he announced Monday during his show, which streams daily on YouTube.“It is infinitely preferable to have natural immunity than vaccine immunity and that is what I have hoped for the entire time,” Prager told listeners from his home, where he is quarantining. “Hence... I have engaged with strangers, constantly hugging them, taking photos with them knowing that I was making myself very susceptible to getting COVID… [It is] what I wanted, in the hope I would achieve natural immunity and be taken care of by therapeutics. That is exactly what has happened.”

Spotted while checking this out:
Key word? DOZENS. Dozens & dozens. In a county estimated to have 9,969,510 humanoids. Dozens, do you hear me? DOZENS!!Dozens of parents, teachers and some children took part in a series of protests outside various Southland school campuses as part of a statewide “sit-out” or “walk-out” effort to denounce a mandate requiring all K-12 students in California to be vaccinated against COVID-19.Outside Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, protesters marched along the sidewalk outside the school, carrying signs reading “My Body, My Choice,” “Our kids are not lab rats” and “Stop the mandate LAUSD.” A young student held a sign saying “Don’t kick me out of my school.”
Stop Pretending!!
Shut your whining mouths about losing your alleged democracy & your anti-democratic Constitution. No nation w/ a Senate, a filibuster & an Electoral College has any claim to being a democracy, or even a democratic republic, yet none of you idiots noticed until about a yr. ago? Anyone w/ even a vague comprehension of what words mean knew this long ago, & the election of 2000 should have made it frighteningly clear to anyone whose head wasn't permanently lodged in their ass. Which, of course, lets most of the planet out.
Few gave a shit then, & for all the yakking no one's doing a damn thing now. Lying hypocrites & chicken-shit assholes, every one. Except those who are so bestially stupid & ignorant they can't handle enough information to be hypocrites.
Indeed, is there another nation on the face of this planet that has an Electoral College or a filibuster? What is this bullshit? Stop it, you fucking cretins!!!

How The Automobile, Fossil Fuel & Prohibition Fueled Fascism
More on why everything sucks.
Read it all, then go out & at least let the air out of someone's tires. Y'know, today's plasticmobiles burn pretty easily too. Hints.Traffic stops are by far the most common reason that police officers initiate contact with members of the public; they account for 84 percent of encounters, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. In fact, before cars, ordinary citizens rarely came in contact with law enforcement. As we rebuilt cities around the automobile, historians contend, drivers came to expect to be policed. And communities of color have paid the highest price.[...]
... a new threat was emerging on American streets. America’s first drivers––overwhelmingly well-to-do white men––were wreaking havoc, refusing to slow down for horses or pedestrians. Ordinary citizens were endangering one another’s lives, and police time was more and more pulled to the roadside.
“Cars profoundly altered the relationship between citizens and the police,” the legal historian Sarah Seo wrote in her 2019 book, Policing the Open Road. “Because so many people drove, a vast and mostly ‘law-abiding’ population suddenly became subject to policing.”
City governments, once reluctant to invest in law enforcement, changed course as cars were widely adopted in the 1910s. Suddenly, Vollmer’s dream of an entirely “motor-mounted” force no longer felt far-fetched. In 1925, traffic violations entered the criminal code. Fines and citations soon buttressed department budgets––funding more police on the ground, with more guns, and more cars to police other cars.
In 1925’s Carroll v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that the police could search automobiles—unlike homes and offices––without a warrant. This Prohibition-era “vehicle exception,” passed to counter an uptick in alcohol smuggling, gouged a hole in citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights. Suddenly, law enforcement had unprecedented entry into our private lives––all an officer needed was a missing license plate or a broken taillight.
Thus was born the pretextual stop.

Darby Was Right!
Even the cretin being refuted admits it's all bullshit: "... because they need 'a concrete framework for their self-identity and sense of security as human beings.' This, he says, is the social power of religion: 'It’s above all a focus of identity.'" At least get your "identities" from something vaguely real, you brain-dead robot cretin sheep.There is no God. An individual who believes in a God that actively intervenes in earthly events, keeps an eye on him personally, and listens and responds to his prayers is mistaken. He doesn’t understand basic facts about the world and the provenance of the phone from which he sends text messages, the car that he drives, the antibiotic that cures his bronchitis and the electricity that brightens his home.Belief in such a God is such an ignorant mistake that there’s something mentally disturbed about it. There’s no dispute at all over whether such a God who created the universe exists. There’s no need to assume his existence in order to explain the world, and there’s no objective evidence of his existence.
Such a God can, of course, exist within a personal and subjective mystical experience, but you can’t establish a religion based on personal and subjective experiences. In a religion, the existence of God is objective.
Shlomo Avineri argues that “secular intellectuals” who think that “anyone who believes in God and religion is stupid and benighted” commit the sin of arrogance. They do not. Under liberal and enlightened moral standards regarding human rights, orthodox religion is indeed benighted. And anyone who insists on believing in the existence of a God contrary to heaps of evidence that debunks this is indeed behaving stupidly.
Since when is adhering to a proved truth arrogance? Avineri’s statement is fashionable kowtowing to the wave that’s making the country more religious. It’s not arrogance to say that someone who believes that two plus two equals five is stupid.
How can one accuse of arrogance those who fight against the metaphysical foolishness of religion and the moral injustice it entails? It’s the religious who lord it over the atheists and claim exclusive ownership of spirituality, values and belief.
Avineri holds that God and his ordinances aren’t the main thing in religion. Rather, he says, “many of those who cling to religion (in Israel and elsewhere) do this not because they are certain about the correctness of the theological and metaphysical arguments concerning divinity,” but rather because they need “a concrete framework for their self-identity and sense of security as human beings.” This, he says, is the social power of religion: “It’s above all a focus of identity.”
This position is of course the ultimate in arrogance. He prefers not to relate seriously to beliefs and opinions to which many people who cling to religion will swear, or to take seriously the unconscious needs they don’t know they have and which he decries. He describes these people as weak; people devoid of confidence.
No doubt there are sociological reasons for religion. Secularism also has sociological reasons, of course. The exchange of opinions in Haaretz has sociological reasons. Avineri has published an article in Haaretz in part because the publication provides him a framework for his self-identity and because for him Haaretz is a focus of identity.
But this doesn’t mean that it’s right to identify with his social or psychological motives. We still have to confront his arguments on their merits; it would be arrogant to dismiss them contemptuously as stemming from his psychosocial needs.
We also have to confront orthodox religion with conviction and determination, without the political correctness that emerges from Avineri’s approach. Why should anyone fake hypocritical tolerance and empathy toward a religion that in its essence is against tolerance? We have to speak the truth and stop trying to curry favor. There is no God and belief in him is stupidity.
