Kunstler: Fury, Rising

Public Policy

If anything, political pressures may prevent the White House from going far enough, Binghamton University political science professor Olga Shvetsova argued.

In order to halt the virus, she said vaccines must not only be mandated but that fully vaccinated people need to be tested regularly to stop the emergence of new variants.

“We cannot allow people to be sick but not too sick,” Shvetsova said. “That’s what created delta, and that’s what created omicron. It’s not only about preventing people from being terribly sick. It’s about preventing them from being sick in invisible ways.”

— As reported in the Washington Examiner


Of course, Ms. Shvetsova is not a medical doctor, and it’s reasonable to doubt that politics represents any kind of science at all, but just a pretense of it in order to affect some academic respectability. Which prompts one to wonder: what shreds of respectability remain in the universities run by Jacobin maniacs? (Answer: almost none, and zero cred, too, lately, and note that having surrendered entirely to this kind of intellectual racketeering, higher ed is just another major institution whirling around the drain.)

There’s a lot to marvel at, though, in the manifold insanity of Ms. Shvetsova’s quoted views, starting with her overall totalitarian gusto. No ambiguity there about the need for coercion, for pushing people around, with no reference to legal niceties. (Note, political science is a field apart from the study of law, which doesn’t pretend to be science.) The bit I love most is: “It’s about preventing [citizens] from being sick in invisible ways.” Huh…? You know what else is invisible? Your thoughts. You could be harboring hostile thoughts about the folks who seek to push you around, which could lead to the accusation that you are an enemy of the state!

Prof. Shvetsova was not the only one out of her lane in the Covid thunderdome this week. Wall Street shill Jim Cramer took a few minutes off of pimping stocks on his CNBC-TV show to declare that the US army should be used to force vaccinations on the vax-resistant. “Acting President” Anthony Fauci and his political advisor, “Joe Biden,” used the hatching of Omicron to beseech the multiply-vaxxed to booster-up — overlooking the perhaps embarrassing reality that the mRNA vaccines do nothing to stop the spread of Covid, though they do have quite a downside in relative harm from adverse reactions.

For instance, a new study and warning from the American Heart Association concluded that mRNA vaccines dramatically increase risk of developing heart disease between 11 and 25 percent. Twitter slapped an “unsafe” warning on anyone attempting to transmit this news on its sacred app. Unsafe to whom, or what?  Why, to the sacred narrative, of course, which is that the USA must be kept in a never-ending paranoid uproar over Covid — certainly until at least past the 2022 elections, in order to maintain all the emergency mail-in ballot provisions that enable voting fraud.

Meanwhile, the emerging reality of Omicron is that it has a much lower transmission coefficient than its predecessor, the Delta variant, and produces only mild symptoms of illness. Someone should tell Acting President Fauci that Halloween is over and he can stop trying to scare everybody. Anyway, two federal judges rendered decisions striking down Acting President Fauci’s vaccine mandates. The second ruling, penned by U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty of Louisiana’s Western District, featured a particularly lusty and detailed diagnosis of the mandate’s constitutional impropriety, and extended the injunction against vax mandates to all fifty states.

This leaves the USA in a distinctly exceptional position among the other nations within the loose confederation of Western Civ. Thanks to manifestations of sanity on the federal bench, the vax mandates appear DOA here now, while Austria and Germany have rushed into full-blown psychotic fugues over Omicron, announcing harsh punishments for their unvaxxed and, coincidentally, wrecking another Christmas season among people whose Teutonic devotion to the ancient pagan solstice rites runs hot and deep. There is obvious awareness among German vax protesters, as seen on their T-shirts and placards, that 2021 is looking like a nauseating rerun of 1933. Is it not amazing that the German politicians don’t see that in their diktats?

The Covid psychosis is just a reassignment of the Trump derangement, which was provoked by the generalized anxiety about collapsing industrial societies. The reasons for the collapse are not hard to grok: a declining resource base, especially affordable, economically plausible oil, a financial system purposefully detached from on-the-ground material reality, and sets of grossly foolish over-investments in complexity in the techno-narcissistic effort to work-around all that.

The epic Trump and Covid hysterias (with a side-dish of climate neurosis) managed to distract the masses from those essential economic quandaries. But now the breakdown in all the channels of production, trade, and money is roaring in our faces, and just at Christmas time, too, when the sore-beset people seek just a few weeks’ respite from their travail and despair. Don’t be surprised by their rising fury over this in the days ahead.

    We are being warred on by traitors. Biden & Co. is slaughtering Americans by the thousands with ChiCom fentanyl imported through the southern border and elsewhere.  Klaus Schwab (Weltwirtschaftsform, AKA “the Davos elites”) and accomplice Georg Sörös, along with the massively corrupt FBI, CIA and “Justice” Department are fomenting looting and rioting by Ebonics jabberwockies, Antifa maniacs and other criminals.  The Democrat Party propaganda organ, the mainstream media (MSM), is covering up the devastation while the megalomaniac academics plus teachers’ unions are justifying it.

    The sadistic ghouls running the Democrat regime controlling the levers of federal power are perverting and undermining everything that used to be considered American civilization.  As part of their war strategy they are debasing the currency as they raise the national debt over $29 trillion.  Never mind their seeking to provide illegal aliens with voting rights to install more crime bosses in urban and state regimes so they can impoverish and kill yet more Whites.

    For a century and a half the U.S. has sought to destroy White civilization — first with a Civil War costing 800,000 White lives, then with two world wars against Europe.  The aim has been to bring biological evolution to a screeching halt, then reverse it and return homo sapiens to his proto-chimpanzee origins.  The nihilists in charge of this war are fired by a quasi-religious zealotry in their blind rage to destroy the progress of 4.5 billion years of planetary evolution.

    And the masses willingly vote them the power to do so.

    Biden has removed anti-EU steel tariffs imposed by Trump, but left those for the UK in place.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ23wDxy31k

    There is speculation that Biden does this to warn the UK not to go too far regarding the Northern Ireland Protocol.

    Listened to this video this morning, a speech by the Brit Douglas Murray before US neocon club The National Review:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CR4f559SWk

    “Douglas Murray: Reflections on the Revolution in America”

    You can’t get them more British than Murray. He represents the “conservative position”, a useless position in 2021 and beyond, as there is absolute nothing worth to preserve about the West (apart from the DNA of its white inhabitants, to be armed with a new value system, Nietzsches “Umwertung aller Werte”).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Murray_(author)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvaluation_of_values

    Murray is a lukewarm Brexiteer:

    Murray supported the ‘Leave’ side in the UK’s 2016 EU referendum, citing concerns with the Eurozone, immigration and the prospect of ever-closer union. In a 2016 article for The Spectator, Murray asserted “I am not the world’s most ardent Brexiteer. I voted to leave because I could see what the EU now wanted to become, and whether or not that direction was right for the rest of the continent, it was not right for the UK.” In the wake of the Brexit vote, Murray expressed concern that the result “has just not been accepted by an elite” and said that the result “should be celebrated by anybody who actually believes in democracy”

    Typical ideologue position, where in reality, race/DNA are FAR more important and civilization-defining than democracy, that is a nice-to-have at best. Even a constitution is more important than that 4-yearly ritual procession to the voting boot, that votes into office some configuration of the deep state. After the elections, democracy is forgotten and daily politics rule. It is difficult to see how in 2021 it can be done any other way. Democracy is not entirely meaningless, but assuming that you can import millions of Africans and still keep your “democracy” and hence your civilization unaltered, is ludicrous.

    Nevertheless, the video is interesting, not because of the content of the Great Message, Murray has to present (there isn’t any), but because of the symptoms of his inner state, Murray emanates.

    Murray has trouble to hide his panic.

    He is to be commended for openly saying to his US audience that they are well en route to destroy their own civilization.

    Douze points!

    He refers to:
    – wokeness
    – critical race theory
    – the abolishment of US history
    – the statue dumping

    But then he slows down and preaches the typical conservative talking points that the US population needs to find common ground, that society should be color-blind, that race needs to be talked down, that the Founding Fathers had their good aspects as well, you can’t define white civilization entirely by slavery. Yes, BLM has a point, it is just that they are exaggerating.

    Now for some real talking point, Murray shies away from (although he inserts the word “revolution” i the title of his speech): the US is inevitably marching towards a racial Bolshevik revolution à la Petersburg-1917 of its own and the more conservatives like Murray conjure to moderate, the more the neo-Bolsheviks feel emboldened to carry on with their anti-white revolution. Nothing is going to stop them, short of armed resistance. But Murray and his fellow conservatives are not interested in war. Unfortunately, war is interested in them.

    Murray is the pure embodiment of Brexit. He feels far more at home in the US, than say in France or Germany. He again sings the typical Anglo praise of WW2 as “the Good War” (instead of what it really was: the war to establish the US empire). But he is too smart to hide his inner disquiet. He doesn’t believe his own shit.

    Hippos in Antwerp Zoo tested positively on Corona:

    “Twee nijlpaarden uit dierentuin Antwerpen besmet met corona”

    Will the entire animal kingdom get the virus?

    Did some research this morning on correlation between national BMI and Covid death rate per million (ordered after BMI):

    Land BMI death/million

    Vietnam 21.6 263
    Cambodia 21.9 174
    India 21.9 337
    Japan 22.6 145
    Nigeria 23.4 14
    Singapore 23.7 136
    Pakistan 23.8 127
    China 23.9 3
    South-Korea 23.9 74
    France 25.3 1782
    Netherlands 25.4 1166
    Sweden 25.8 1493
    Brazil 25.9 2875
    Italy 26.0 2221
    Norway 26.0 199
    Iran 26.2 1529
    Germany 26.3 1227
    Russia 26.5 1874
    Spain 26.7 1885
    Australia 27.2 79
    Canada 27.2 783
    South-Africa 27.3 1498
    UK 27.3 2138
    Argentina 27.7 2557
    Mexico 28.1 2263
    USA 28.5 2366

    There are some outliers: China, Australia (both Draconian), Norway, but the trend is obvious: the fatter a country, the worse the pandemic. Asian countries with near-optimal BMI suffer far less than fatties in western “developed” countries (read: overdeveloped).

    This should suffice to declare war on obesity, just like we successfully declared war on smoking. Your BMI-index should become an explicit part in the calculation of tax-rates, health-insurance, airfare ticket, etc.

    “America Is Becoming A Lawless Society“

    https://www.unz.com/jderbyshire/america-is-becoming-a-lawless-society/

    You’ve seen the video clips and read the news stories. Gangs of looters spent the Thanksgiving weekend looting retail stores in our cities: Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Home Depot, Best Buy, Apple, pharmacies, jewelry stores, … Not all of these were big chain stores. Some, especially the jewelry stores, were single-outlet family enterprises. This gives a whole new meaning to the term “Black Friday.”

    “The Battle Lines Grow Clearer“

    https://www.unz.com/jderbyshire/america-is-becoming-a-lawless-society/

    Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here today because our country is dying. It’s hard to say exactly when it fell sick. Was it in the 1960s? Maybe the 1860s? Was it infected from the start?… So, what should America mean to us? It gives me no pleasure to say this, but the Potomac Regime, as Greg Hood calls it, has become the greatest enemy of white people anywhere in the world. The first Taylor came to North America in 1635. We fought in every war, voted in every election. This land is stuffed with our bones, drenched in our blood. But the regime doesn’t speak for me. It doesn’t speak for any of us…. And so, our job, ladies and gentlemen, is to open the eyes of our brothers and sisters. This multiracial experiment has failed. We separate or face oblivion. Or worse. As Bishop Talbert Swan, graduate of Harvard Divinity School, tells his congregation of thousands, “Black people deserve reparations. White people deserve repercussions.” This is really a declaration of war. We don’t want war. But we cannot come to terms with these people. We must go our own way.

    That is just what we continental Europeans want to hear, namely that America is over and that white Americans want a country of their own, just like Palestinians, Kurds, Uighur, Croats, Serbs, Sudeten-Germans, Scots, Irish, the list goes on.

    This is the golden opportunity for us to finally get rid of our tormenter, the evil Ptomac regime.

    I suspect Kunstler has been reading Tverberg. The global decline in fossil fuel is due essentially to the fact that we have already extracted all of the easily extractable oil.  The low traditional prices are no longer enough to keep the fuel companies in business, because modern extraction has become increasingly costly.  Other issues similarly contribute to the problem of inadequate resources to sustain the planetary population.  The future promised by the Biden-&-Fauci song-and-dance show does not look good, especially as promoted by Klaus Schwab (World Economic Forum) and Big Pharma with its COVID-hyping.  Read Gail Tverberg here.

    Meanwhile, Biden and NATO refuse to guarantee Putin that Ukraine will not become a NATO member. Why should they? After they toppled a democratically elected government and installed a kike as the new president, the road is cleared to absorb Ukraine and put missiles o the border with Russia.

    War is coming closer. One thing is certain: war will start on several fronts at the same time: Ukraine, Gulf, Taiwan.

    If war breaks out, Europe will be cut off from fuel and the economy will come to a shrieking halt.

    In a series of different experiments, Canadian researchers found that merely thinking about fast food can prime people to feel hurried. In another experiment, people who subconsciously viewed fast food logos and then read certain passages rushed through them more quickly than people who weren’t exposed to the logos. “The way people eat has far-reaching—and often unconscious—influences on behavior and choices unrelated to eating,” the study authors noted. This is what fast food does to your immune system.”
