The Dems fuck the 'democracy' moniker in the ass fairly routinely.

It is part ritual humiliation of the populace (we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic) mocking the people's ignorance of government, and a Satanic inversion euphemism for their heedless, corrupt, centralized, absolute power.

The UK Daily Mail ran a pair of pandemic articles this month, dripping with combined irony. The Mail ran the first one on December 7th under the headline, “Alarming reason strokes are rocketing in men under 40.” I’ll give you one guess who they blamed.

You probably guessed it; it was an easy one. They blamed us. Junk food. Heavy boozing. Stressful modern living, with all our jetsetting and materialism. Stupid people. The doctors keep telling you how to live healthy but you just won’t listen. ...

Apparently, nowadays in 2024, the very same alcohol recipes also cause strokes and always have. You’re just remembering it wrong.

All those anti-drinking campaigns, and they somehow forgot to mention stroke risk until now.

It doesn’t have to be vaccines. I could maybe see energy drinks. But junk food? Beer? That, my friends, is just expert “woo-woo” hand waving, designed to shift blame to the victim and to generic products lacking strong political lobbies. The article was salted with internal contradictions, too, almost intentionally. “Alcohol consumption in younger age groups,” the Mail sheepishly explained, “is, on average, falling.”

Gaslit Nation

From drones to terrorists, authorities are having a laugh at the public's expense

If you’re in the growing population of Americans that is tired of being fed streams of sensational and inexplicable news stories, while authorities that appear to delight in public confusion sit back with buttoned lips, yesterday might have been the last straw. We are officially Gaslit Nation...

If you’re keeping score: a Special Forces “supersoldier” rumored to be able to blow up a suspension bridge with a match and bubblegum detonates the world’s most amateur car bomb in Las Vegas, leaving behind a manifesto alleging knowledge of both civilian massacres in Afghanistan and a coverup of Chinese “gravitistic propulsion” drones buzzing New Jersey. For good measure, the manifesto adds he’s carrying a “massive VBIED,” i.e. a vehicular bomb. The FBI, which opened its presser confirming different Livelsberger manfestos (more below), only later, and offhandedly, says it has “strong evidence” the more cinematic Ryan/Shoemate letter was also written by their subject. ...

To preserve mental health, I try to ignore all news after work hours, silencing notifications and enforcing a strict sports-only Internet rule after dusk. But no one can ignore weird blinking aircraft zooming over your state, especially if they scare your kids. So, we have an unignorable news phenomenon expanding in a conspicuous vacuum of official explanation, into which we’ve now injected this Livelsberger story.

While I do believe in DOD civilian massacres, I don’t believe in “gravitistic propulsion,” nor do I believe there’s a Men in Black-style squad out chasing and perhaps assassinating rogue Green Berets. I refuse absolutely to bite on that part of the story. But there’s no longer any way to ignore the proposition that the government is playing mind games with the public when it comes to the release of information. ...

The canny reader will also notice the twin sets of Livelsberger manifestoes seem perfectly tailored for left and right audiences, with the Shawn Ryan deep state action-flick jetting across conservative media, and the PTSD-stricken toxic-masculinity bomber tale getting full play in papers like the Times and Washington Post. There is very little coverage crossover. ...

Agencies like the FBI and the CIA have been effective in the Trump era in deflecting criticism by pumping cosmpolitan audiences full of conspiratorial bosh about things like Russian collusion. They’ve struggled with the Trump audience for obvious reasons, but I’m beginning to wonder if someone hasn’t realized one can paralyze skeptical audiences with ostentatious displays of incompetent or contradictory behavior. Last week’s string of bizarre official statements were like a container ship of conspiratorial catnip, which will leave millions asking questions like, “What do they know?” or “Why are they letting reporters into crime scenes?” or “Are we really supposed to believe they just found those notes?” perhaps instead of being angry about other issues or abuses. ...

I get that the president is a corpse, but can’t someone be found to give an old-fashioned Oval Office speech? Why leave us to chew over so much crazy?

DISTRACTION

The goal is distraction from, say, the worst crimes against humanity ever: Fauci's creation of the virus in Wuhan with taxpayer money and the subsequent mandates to inject toxic mRNA slime, killing millions.
