“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
A Wicker Basket
Comes the time when it’s later
and onto your table the headwaiter
puts the bill, and very soon after
rings out the sound of lively laughter—
Picking up change, hands like a walrus,
and a face like a barndoor’s,
and a head without any apparent size,
nothing but two eyes—
So that’s you, man,
or me. I make it as I can,
I pick up, I go
faster than they know—
Out the door, the street like a night,
any night, and no one in sight,
but then, well, there she is,
old friend Liz—
And she opens the door of her cadillac,
I step in back,
and we’re gone.
She turns me on—
There are very huge stars, man, in the sky,
and from somewhere very far off someone hands me a slice of apple pie,
with a gob of white, white ice cream on top of it,
and I eat it—
Slowly. And while certainly
they are laughing at me, and all around me is racket
of these cats not making it, I make it
in my wicker basket.

Could they do me one favor? Drop the ‘Protester’ bit?
This is not protest, this is outrunning rioting or looting; this is the Visigoths, this is the Vandals (the original ones), the Mongol hordes. This is Mad Max, this is the end of civilization.
I’m guessing that Soros and his friends are bankrolling this in the same way they held the economy’s head under water to get The Lightbringer elected and for the same reason.
But they found out that ‘Lightning Swift’ didn’t know how to restore the economy or fix the damage done. He made it worse in fact.
Now they are trying to push, (or drag, might be drag) another pliant fool across the finish line. And they are opening the box that better men nailed shut generations ago. A whiff of chaos, a slight failure to keep or restore order that’ll do it they think. Just a few bloody dead bodies, killed by Federal troops, that’s what they want. With their lackeys in the media to spin it the right way.
But time it’s not money they’re manipulating it’s flesh and blood. The power of money has limits, flesh and blood does not.
If the barbarians are being let loose, then the time is coming for others to find the strength of their fathers. Time to revert to type. Our fathers type.
EVERYTHING is rigged. Like Tucker said, not only do we dutifully pay every fee, every fine, follow every rule, we’ve also been shut down, left to die, world wide, by the biggest hoax every perpetrated by The Owners. This isn’t too far off topic from the content above, I think it’s all related. Here’s the story that Fauci endorsed hydroxychloriquine to cure coronaviruses 15 years ago. But these days, there’s more money in selling vaccines when you live inside Gates’ pocket. https://tinyurl.com/y9sha5rw
This just in…. the autopsy has taken an unexpected turn. http://voxday.blogspot.com/2020/05/no-evidence-of-strangulation.html
Comment number 4 below the article is prophetic: “You know the plandemic is losing steam when we are back to 24/7 race-war coverage. Welcome back to your regularly scheduled programming.”
I believe the autopsy findings could still support a Manslaughter finding — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggshell_skull . But that typically runs up against the “Qualified Immunity” afforded to cops which normally applies to them acting in accordance with their training in the line of duty, but has been interpreted even more expansively in some cases: https://reason.com/2020/05/29/the-supreme-court-has-a-chance-to-end-qualified-immunity-and-prevent-cases-like-george-floyds/
So given those precedents, Floyd’s case is probably the sort of thing that would get swept under the rug in less rioty times. Certainly it’d be about as forgotten as the Daniel Shaver shooting if Floyd had been white. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver
Summer would be the right time for urban enrichers to go sporty
I’m surprised that it’s waited til 2020 …. wait ! never mind. Election year
Chittum … CW2 … download and digest. Accurate and prophetic.
We won’t have real equality until all races are permitted go on a crime spree and call it a protest.
I have commented to a few that decades ago I did a long stretch in a state pen and was introduced to darkie folks for the first time in my life and what an education I received. Just 2 worth stating here; “you can take the monkey out of the jungle but never will you remove the jungle from the monkey for that’s in their character and heart”. The 2nd is the word “entitlement”. “We rob and murder and rape and pillage for we be owed” is the turn of that phrase. I have had some arguments with such darkies over the years on that very point “and how are you owed for what” I asked? “You be rayyyyycist for denying what I am owed” has been the general response although I do not believe I have a racist bone in my body I love and despise all colors equally. I judge by what’s in-between your ears and how you act and nothing nothing nothing of past few nights surprises me at all. I do feel bad for that black fellow firefighter who’s bar was looted and burned for he should have known to be prepared. Nice 12gg shotgun would have scattered the rioting monkeys REAL fast.
Whatever you do, ” IT’S NOT ENOUGH,”
echoes through the decades.
Tucker Carlson: The Game Is Rigged for the Rioters
============
Well yeah, this has been obvious for the past few years at least.
Try to wrap your head around what Thomas says above.
There will never be peace as long as the gov’t requires different cultures/races to assimilate, there is a rule of nature in force in all of this and it can’t be changed.
If you haven’t lived with them it is probably impossible to fully know how they are.
Just “working” with them, or “associating” with them isn’t sufficient, not by a long shot.
“You are responsible for yourself”.
Last night there were fires, vandalism and looting less than 5 miles from my house. I unlocked the safe, loaded the short barreled 12ga with 00 buck and set it next to the bed.
I am very much a Jacksonian. Leave me alone, I leave you alone. Deal fairly with me, I’ll deal fairly with you. Fuck with me and I’ll kill you.
I am responsible for myself.
At least we now know the lefties are desperate that they are playing all their cards. If they can’t get Trump with the Wuflu, they’ll get him with riots.
“…black people are always the main victims, never Whites”
Well no shit. Normal Americans need to look up the term “cannon fodder,” and recognize that every leftie since Voltaire and Diderot has unblushingly stirred up shit with the exhortation “Let’s you and him fight.” I started detesting what I now realize were lefties in the ’60s when I watched that very thing happen all around me; every single one of them was by my standards a rich kid, and had a safety net the size of Nebraska to catch ’em if they stubbed their toe on the way to sending innocent kids to die on the barricades.
Thomas Moore nails it: if you haven’t lived with black folks during this lifetime, you need to shut the fuck up. You’re not qualified to enter this discussion. I’ve had black roommates, girlfriends, bosses, co-workers and a helluva lot of neighbors in Oakland particularly. Seeing what the self-hating white lefties have taught them to do breaks my heart. I was a poor fatherless white boy trying to make his way with his back and his brains, and there were older black guys who tried to show me how to work and how to act like a man. Their Christianity told ’em to, and told ’em how.
It was a black man who diluted my naivete with the line “There’s black folks and there’s niggers. Don’t mistake the good folks for the trash.”
Leftists are ALWAYS spoiled entitled brats who needed their face slapped at two years old when they started using tantrums to get their way. Some very few of them have since grown up, but it’ll never be enough. I admire and respect you, Gerard, but life will never be long enough for sufficient penance to undo the selfish damage you did in your youth. Sorry, but there it is.
August, 1965. Watts. 34 dead, 1032 injured.
I was working the night shift in Anaheim, building missiles. Lenny shouts across the bay at Ken Boyd, a black gentleman, he shouts “Hey Ken, gonna go up and snag a new TV after work?”. Ken answers “No way man. Them’s West Texas Niggers!”.
“Gerard, but life will never be long enough for sufficient penance to undo the selfish damage you did in your youth. Sorry, but there it is.”
Far as I can tell, Gerard spoke, read, and listened. Where’s the damage?
What is the mathematics of penance, anyway? How many penance points are we given each time we say, “Boy, was I a sucker!”? How many points are needed to clean the slate?
“Okay, 6700 more mea culpas, 4400 Our Father’s, and 789 Hail Mary’s and I’m done.”
Not sure it works that way.
Once, with heart, is all that is needed. More than that is self-indulgence.
“Look how good I am. I’ve been whipping myself for years.”
The national guard hasn’t really gotten unlimbered yet, and we already want the army, too.
What gives me hope is the way Trump has placed his rhetorical boot on the back of Tim Walz’s nuts, and said “hit the gas!”
I thought I had enough ammo on hand for the apocalypse that was to be the Corona Virus. Now we are entering the post apocalypse. I’m re-watching Joker and wondering, was it art previews history? Apparently so.
If you have magazines of more than 10 rounds each, shame on you! (winks)
Lance,
As I made abundantly clear, VdL was among the very few who’ve since grown up, and good for him.
That doesn’t alter the fact that the kids he inspired to die on the barricades are still dead, does it?
If you think anybody believes ““Okay, 6700 more mea culpas, 4400 Our Father’s, and 789 Hail Mary’s and I’m done,” then your understanding of Christianity is that of a 12-year-old.
“That doesn’t alter the fact that the kids he inspired to die on the barricades are still dead, does it?”
Name one.
