Biden pretends to be a president. Bergoglio pretends to be a pope. Milley pretends to be a general. Fauci pretends to be a doctor. The Media pretend to be truthful. Elections pretend to be honest. COVID pretends to be a pandemic. The FBI pretends to be trustworthy. The Constitution pretends to be the law. Congress pretends to represent us.
All “official reality” is what the Hindus call ‘Maya’, a “magic show, an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem.”

When James decided to give school one more go, it was only if there was to be no masking or vaxxing. I told the administration this. One week later, our Grabbernator, Tom Crying Wolf, issued an in school mask mandate, and I immediately withdrew the boy. He’s been home ever since. The school
administrator, eager to make everyone feel uncomfortably welcome, offered a medical exemption for James. So I asked him. “Would you like to go back to school without wearing a mask, knowing ALL your classmates had to?” Just picture that. How well would that go. And they want me to sign a paper, LYING about his medical condition. His medical condition is the human condition: We need to breathe freely. Oxygen, not lung rot.

Making good use of Il Duce’s death photo: perfect.
Like ‘Modern Art’, Modern Dance is…just so weird. Going from George Balanchine to Martha Graham is like going from Heaven to Hell—or maybe just Purgatory.
Went to the site and immediately found this: “Karen Croake Heisler: 67-year-old former Notre Dame professor says “damn the unvaccinated,” dead 12 days after third Pfizer mRNA injection”.
Love her middle name.
I know it is considered bad form to speak ill of the dead, but can we laugh at them?

Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children borrowed that saying from Arnaud Amalric, the leader of the crusade against the Albigensians in southern France in 1209. The Latin original is Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

Gratias tibi, amice latina lectio.
The Albigensians deserved what they got. Damned heretics. I studied the most prominent heresies as part of my research into Catholic theology. The “Albis” were commonly called Cathars. They practiced a form of “Christianity” that would seem very strange today and not at all Christian. Because they were not; they were gnostics.
If I were a Cathar, of course, I would feel the opposite.

Mike, do you know Denis de Rougemont’s Love in the Western World? He wrote the first edition in 1939, revised it in 1956. De Rougemont was a Swiss (d. 1985) who addressed the various totalitarianisms of the 1930s from a Christian perspective (he was a Huguenot). Anyhoo– his book traces the cult of romantic love in the West back to the Tristan myth and the Albigensian heresy. From the Princeton Press’s blurb: “At the heart of [de Rougemont’s] ever-relevant inquiry is the inescapable conflict in the West between marriage and passion — the first associated with social and religious responsibility and the second with anarchic, unappeasable love as celebrated by the troubadours of medieval Provence [the Albigensians–ed.]. These early poets, according to de Rougemont, spoke the words of an Eros-centered theology, and it was through this heresy that a European vocabulary of mysticism flourished and that Western literature took on a new direction.”
Princeton charges $45 for a paperback copy, but I’m sure you can find one for much less at Alibris.
Mike AustinSeptember 30, 2021, 8:30 AM
I had never heard of Denis de Rougemont, but looking around a bit I see that some of what he wrote, especially about “courtly love” and the Troubadours is echoed in two books I had to read in college in Medieval History: “Roman de la Rose” and “The Book of the Courtier”. I still have them somewhere on my bookshelves. They reside among 1000 others, and more are added all the time.
Both of these touch on Romantic Love, passion, and so on. They also point out that a gentleman, a lover or a ‘courtier’ should ideally have a woman to whom he can dedicate his poetry, his service or his fantasies. This predates de Rougemont of course: Ovid had his Galatea; Horace his Pyrrha; Dante his Beatrice; Petrarch his Laura. I’ve had a few myself.
I found fascinating that de Rougemont traced the change in Western Civilization from the ‘hero-fighter’ to the ‘hero-lover’, from Achilles and Patroclus to Tristen and Isolde. I prefer the ‘hero-fighter’ but that’s just me.
Apparently de Rougemont sent a few scholarly heads all a spinning because of his position on sexual love (I should have revised that) in a Christian marriage. I would find Eros to be a necessary part of any marriage, but again—that’s just me.
All this academic talk about love and such is starting to make me remember some of the women in my life. I had better quit now.

Well, I was on the fence about the jab, having been engaged in scholarly research and spirited debate for the past year or so. But, Colbert’s stirring and rousing presentation demonstrated the flaws in my thought processes and has provided the final rational push to convince me to participate. Now, if I could just find my phone to schedule a session with the nurses in the vaccinarium.
In case you can’t get enough of drama queens, here you have the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus performing their new hit, “Vaccinate!” on Harvey Milk Day. (Note that they’re not wearing masks even though the song tells people to do so.)
Whew!
Annie Rose just knocked it out of the park. That post was gold.

Just got this from Medicare.gov:
“Mike, If you previously got 2 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, you can get a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine if you fall into one of these groups:
You’re 65 and older,
You’re 18+ and have certain underlying medical conditions, or
You’re 18+ and work or live in a high-risk setting.
You can get your booster shot at least 6 months after you complete your second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The booster shot can help strengthen and prolong your protection against COVID-19.
I just love that last line. They have my permission to go make love to themselves.
PA CatSeptember 30, 2021, 9:59 AM
Not vaxxed. I work as a freelance academic writer/editor out of my home, so I can’t be fired by a brainwashed employer. And I live alone (except for the cats), so I’m not putting any of the neighborhood Chads and Karens at risk.
I’ve had to research the whole COVID mess for my paid work for the last few weeks, and I’m more than ever convinced that the CDC is full of [expletive deleted]. The infighting between the FDA and the CDC over booster shots in the past two weeks is instructive– when two upper-level FDA people quit (rather than be fired by TPTB), and the CDC overrules the advice given not only by the FDA but by its own Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in order to ram the booster shot “guidance” down the public’s throat, any sensible observer is going to ask what’s really going on.
I suppose y’all know that the ever-blessed Fauci redefined “fully vaccinated” yesterday: “Fauci acknowledged that ‘we did not always know that a third dose would likely be an important part of the proper, complete regimen.’ . . . Fauci also said that the boosters don’t keep people alive, just from experiencing severe symptoms. . . . The scary part about Fauci’s redefining ‘fully vaccinated’ is the implications it has for those impacted by Biden’s vaccine mandate. Will people who’ve had their two doses of Pfizer and Moderna not be considered fully vaccinated and face termination under Biden’s vaccine mandate?”

Tell her to shoot up or stay home
And they just passed some kind of mandate
And her savings are running low

My head knocks against the stars.

My feet are on the hilltops.

My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.

Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.

I have been to hell and back many times.

I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.

I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.

I know the passionate seizure of beauty

And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
 in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Thanks! Now I need to go bleach my eyeballs. Literal dancing queens in liquid lamé syringe miniskirts and platform go-go boots, gyrating to Tequila, as their death needles merrily jiggle and sparkle on their heads. All that was missing were covid beach balls bouncing off the audience. Total perverse propaganda hell reminiscent of the medical dance choreography from All That Jazz where Bob Fosse is dying. The media once again proves that there is no depth they are unwilling to descend to in order to continue their worship of their Dem masters. And where were the slave masks? I thought covid was a serious and deadly disease that was kept at bay by the magic cloth. Evidently it knows not to enter tv studios.
Annie: No eyeball bleach needed here, but it is still odd. And it has dancing COVID balls to boot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IWc6QyNpa4
Apologies to Saint-Saëns.
I still remember Fosse’s words as he was guided through the hospital by his ex-wife and his fiancĂ©: To his ex-wife he says, “I’m sorry what I did to you.” To his fiancĂ© he says, “And I’m sorry what I was about to do to you.”
