Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Starry-eyed an’ laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look
Spellbound an’ swallowed ’til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse
An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
Reason will not decide at last; the sword will decide.
The sword: an obsolete instrument of bronze or steel,
formerly used to kill men, but here
In the sense of a symbol. The sword: that is: the storms
and counter-storms of general destruction; killing
of men,
Destruction of all goods and materials; massacre, more or
less intentional, of children and women;
Destruction poured down from wings, the air made accomplice,
the innocent air
Perverted into assassin and poisoner.
The sword: that is: treachery and cowardice, incredible
baseness, incredible courage, loyalties, insanities.
The sword: weeping and despair, mass-enslavement,
mass-torture, frustration of all hopes
That starred man’s forehead. Tyranny for freedom, horror for
happiness, famine for bread, carrion for children.
Reason will not decide at last, the sword will decide.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Starry-eyed an’ laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look
Spellbound an’ swallowed ’til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse
An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

The only time I want to be on my knees is at Latin Mass taking Communion.

Regarding “Nah we were all there” by Solo, From this moment on may the law of karma haunt these evil people.
This video is from October 2019… back when Fauci knew it took a minimum of 10 years to perfect a vaccine. Watch these bastards plotting the overthrow of truth and reason to enslave the world. Only 2 minutes in length. https://www.bitchute.com/video/yMKPPeYHn2id/
It would be a pleasure to feed these monsters to sharks. One bite at a time.
What have you got against sharks? How about crocs?

America’s billionaires have raked in another trillion in profit since the covid apocalypse began. Here’s a list of Bill Gates and all his buddies doing so well for themselves. Small wonder Walmart owners are wallowing in the money pit. https://tinyurl.com/2c3xhsd8
This comment works just as well for the prior post with JP and the New York legislation. I heard the congressman dropped his bill, but that bill is radioactive and it is in the playbook, now.
My wife and I are binge-watching the Herman Wouk TV series’, Winds of War, and War and Remembrance. It slow rolls you through the lead-up to, or the causes of, World War II. Why did the Jews go into the camps in the manner that they did? Why did the German people slide so quickly into the unspeakable evil of Naziism (Japanese and Italian versions included)?
Wouk’s writings put Biden’s quote, “Winter of…death,” into perspective. Wasn’t it just last year that we had the Summer of Love in Seattle? I can’t keep track of these fugtard liberal politicians. Are we facing a Summer of Love, or a Winter of Death? Which is it??
It does not matter whether you’ve got active immunity, are vaxxed or unvaxxed. What matters is that the gubmint gets the say. Here’s a nice little list of priorities for the thinking citizen. Do not take any tests. Do not sign any releases that you don’t read at medical facilities (you give the govt. the right to gather your medical info and then, well, what could happen?). Do not answer questions about your vax status, if you can possibly help it. If you have a vax card, consider the ramifications of using that – it places you in the position of a vassal.
For God’s sake, read your WWII history. I know many here are well read on the topic. Fuck Godwin’s Law. We’re up to it as high as our necks, right now.
I watched both tv series when they first came out. It seems a lifetime ago—because it was a lifetime ago. Besides, I am a Robert Mitchum fan.
I guess Biden’s “Winter of Death” begins in a few days. A couple weeks after its official start—-will there be parades and ceremonies?—I head out on one of my Surly bikes for Texas. So I guess I’ll celebrate the “Winter of Death” somewhere in a tent in the Piney Woods.
No government document will ever see my signature. I refused Medicare ‘B’ for that reason. No doubt sooner rather than later to get medical care under ‘B’ I’ll have to be vaxxed. Not happening. Besides, I got private medical care at half the cost and no government paperwork.
I taught World War II history for 12 years. It is such a huge field, with dozens of books coming out every year. We can learn from Nazi Germany’s Rise and Fall but we cannot copy it. We lurch toward destruction to a different drummer, in our own way.
If you like Mitchum’s “don’t give a fuck” attitude look up Sterling Hayden, the ultimate don’t give a fuck actor. He’s Mitchum without the polish. LOL Said he made pictures to get money to buy sailboats so he could get away from all the assholes of the world.
My favorite Sterling Hayden films: “The Long Goodbye”, “Doctor Stangelove” and “The Godfather”.
I have been free—more or less—from the assholes of the world since my 2019 retirement. But I must say that even long before that I was immune to their whimsies. It drove them nuts when they came to realize that I did not give a shit about them or their views on anything under the sun. Of course I lost a few jobs over my attitude, but so what? Freedom has its costs, and I gladly paid them.
One of my Brazilian girlfriends once told me that “I was the freest man she had ever known.” True then. True now.
Hayden made a film, “Bahama Passage”- the setting is a desolate family-owned island named “Dildo Key”. My distant recollection is everybody in the cast says “dildo” and if they say it once they say it fifty times each.
Never saw the film run save for 3AM on local stations when there were only three networks.
Casey axed: “Why did the German people slide so quickly into the unspeakable evil of Naziism (Japanese and Italian versions included)?”

I used to wonder that, based on the flawed info I received in public school, but then I spoke to german people when I lived there, later, and they said it wasn’t like that. Not at all. So now you can see the american version in real time and get an idea of how it works. Not ALL the people are ever onboard such things. Many see through the charade but are helpless to do anything about it but stay out of the way of the mass insanity. I have no answers, plenty of questions, but they mostly go unanswered. You can’t ask a crazy person why he is crazy for he believes he is not, and he believes you are crazy. So, you either put up with the crazy person, or get away from them, and failing that, kill it secretly and dispose appropriately. 1,2, or 3, soon the sane will have to make a choice.
We’re watching the long range view of american history in the 1978 James Michener mini series, Centennial. Enjoyable to a degree if you don’t quibble about the details. Fer instance, Indians riding horses bareback at full speed while shooting 10lb winchesters with 1 hand and doing so accurately.
Looking back at my own high school education about WWII, the texts always implied, and queerly left unanswered, the question: “Why did “good Germans” support the NAZI programs?”
The fact is, the authors and publishers of the history text books always knew the answer to their question. But, since the American education system is a direct mimic of the Weimar/NAZI’s state school system, and because ours shares the Germans’ same tactics and goals of uniform schooling and social coherence contrived through collective indoctrination, they couldn’t reveal the answer to skeptical American pupils and their parents.
To write down the answer in school texts would have (1) deprived the schools of their cover of deniability as they steamroll parents and the Constitution with state propaganda, (2) served to warn America’s heritage citizenry about our own susceptibility to scientific authoritarianism – currently on display in DC, AND (3) undermined the historic gains of socialist activism as well as its prominent activists in education and government by inviting revisionism of the scripted legacies of Left’s fundamental, American figureheads (ex. FDR’s New Deal programs).
In short, on the biggest question to emanate from American studies of the NAZI’s rise, our class text books lied to us by omission. What else aren’t they telling us?
Imagine the following scenarios in 1933 Germany:
1. 50 percent of the population is armed to the teeth and hates the Nazi regime.
2. 50 percent of the population enjoys chanting at public places, “Fuck Adolf Hitler!”
3. 65 percent of the nation did not support the Nazis in the 1933 elections.
4. 75 percent of German territory is under the control of anti-Nazis.
5. Most of German infrastructure is built and maintained by anti-Nazis.
6. 60 percent of the German population knows that the Nazi regime is trying to poison them.
7. 100 percent of energy production is controlled by anti-Nazis.
None of that could have happened in Nazi Germany, for it had, the regime could not possibly have survived. Yet this is exactly the situation here in the US. No government can survive under such conditions.
Comparisons between Nazi Germany and present-day America are ahistorical, spurious and fanciful. When and if America falls she will do it in her own way.
Mike, we’re not going anywhere, much less away. It is written.

Sigh, I want off this rock.
You’ll get your wish, in due time. Just like everybody else. And I concur.
Has anyone noticed that more and more obituaries are saying that the person died unexpectedly. Maybe O’Biden’s “Winter of Death” refers to the jabs kicking into high gear.
Yes, and all around the world. Athletes dropping dead on the field, babies dying from myocarditis and so many more. It seems the long-desired and long-planned “Great Die Off” conceived by the World Economic Council has begun. The vaxxed and boosted are already regretting their decisions.
We can be assured, however, that any member of the world “ruling class” who promotes “vaccines” and “boosters”, and who makes a huge public ceremony of getting both, are in reality getting nothing of the sort. As usual, he is lying. He intends on surviving whatever Armageddon is coming, and so be able to continue to rule over us—or what remains of us.
The odd thing is that those most inclined to get vaxxed and boosted, are those most inclined to obey the ruling classes. Those who remain unvaxxed and boosted are those who are coming to ferociously hate the ruling elites of the world. After “the Great Die Off” a sliver of elites will remain, and as well hundreds of millions who hate their guts—and many of them are armed to the teeth. Let us call these examples of “the survival of the fittest”.
Fun times ahead.
Whoever wrote the following essay didn’t leave a name. Simply “good citizen” is the only identity. This is a year’s end… possibly world’s end awareness moment to appraise your cognizance of where you stand within the two-year mind fuck so carefully planned. Are you “urban man?” A believer who has cast breathing aside for the “greater good?” Or are you atop the mountain with a 360 degree view and you climbed there alone without anyone’s help? This is one of the best things I’ve read in a while.
