Side

Number Six: [referring to the chess game] Why do you use people?

Man With Stick: Some psychiatrists say it satisfies the desire for power. The only opportunity one gets here.

Number Six: That depends what side you're on.

Man With Stick: I'm on my side.

Number Six: Aren't we all?

Man With Stick: You must be new here. In time, most of us join the enemy... against ourselves.

Jobs

"The big fight is coming up--Ali and Frazier. I call him Muhammad Ali 'cause that's what he wants. Oh, yeah, he's a big dude and he hits hard, you know, I'll call him what he wants. But it's good that he's being allowed to work again, as you know he couldn't work for three years. Of course, he had a strange job, beating people up. But that was his right, he could have that job. The government wanted him to change jobs. The government wanted him to kill people. He thought it over and he said: 'No, that's where I draw the line. Uh, I'll beat 'em up, but I don't wanna kill 'em.' And the government told him: 'Well, if you won't kill 'em, we won't let ya beat 'em up!'"

Ed Sullivan Show, 1971

Crazy Conspiracy Theories

 

Keep Your Eye On The Coke Fiend

The 1970s TV show "Baretta" had a good and simple piece of advice: "Keep your eye on the sparrow".

It's disappointing how many so-called analysts are going bananas (a/k/a ape s***) over the Hunter Biden C-Movie. The Biden Crime family is nothing more than a conduit for the far higher-ups to achieve their goals. Skulls and bones to dot the “I”s and cross the "T"s.

Think of some petty criminal in your community being offered enormous wealth and vices to follow orders. There's no genius behind the Bidens. They're just bit players placed into a carefully-aimed spotlight to keep us distracted.

However you wish to define "the sparrow", it sure isn't Joseph, ”Doctor” Jill, or Hunter.

Sweet

“So, like I said, these are a bunch of really sweet guys, but you wouldn't want to share a Galaxy with them, not if they're just gonna keep at it, not if they're not gonna learn to relax a little. I mean it's just gonna be continual nervous time, isn't it, right? Pow, pow, pow, when are they next coming at us? Peaceful coexistence is just right out, right? Get me some water somebody, thank you."

He sat back and sipped reflectively.

"OK," he said, "hear me, hear me. It's, like, these guys, you know, are entitled to their own view of the Universe. And according to their view, which the Universe forced on them, right, they did right. Sounds crazy, but I think you'll agree. They believe in ..."

He consulted a piece of paper which he found in the back pocket of his Judicial jeans.

They believe in `peace, justice, morality, culture, sport, family life, and the obliteration of all other life forms'.”

Happened

"It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it--not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone. But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it."

Deaden

"The goal of many educators, albeit unconfessed, is to condition our young, who are perfectly alive with perfect feelings, to become separated from their feelings, to repress them, to deaden them. The scheme of too many parents and too many teachers is to teach these perfect little living creatures the attitudes of the dead and to instill in them the virtue of death, which is, of course, to be perfectly still, as if in the graveyard, perfectly silent, as if in the tomb, for the dead exhibit the most exemplary behavior. The dead never speak up or cause trouble. I say too many teachers and too many parents love the dead more than the living. But death comes soon enough. Death ought not be imposed upon our young before their time."

Performance Betting

I'd like to thank the pawn that brought the coke
That made the press giddy and high...

Who put the coke
In the pedophile White House...

__________________

Isn't betting on who will be deemed owner of the White House cocaine like betting on the outcome of an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond"? At least in Professional Wrestling, some of it is improvised. Hunter and the White House coke, all scripted. To what end can be discussed/debated (planted, distraction, cover story to take FJB off the stage and install the next actor, etc.). But we know from history that the Secret Service does what they're told. Just ask Jack Kennedy.
__________________________________

SportsBetting.ag released odds showing the president’s son leading the list at +170, meaning that a $100 bet would net you $170 if Hunter Biden is found to be the owner of the cocaine found last weekend in the West Wing by the Secret Service.

Next on the betting line at +800 was NFL tight end Travis Kelce, who visited the White House last month with the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs, followed by “One of the Jonas Brothers” at +1000. The singing Jonas trio visited the White House in December 2021.

Facebook Religious Standards

This seems an appropriate topic to cover on a Sunday.

Those whose minds were imprisoned by the government reeducation camps, a/k/a “Schools”, may not understand or appreciate the principles that the United States Of America was founded upon.

One of those was Freedom Of Religion. Basically, the freedom to believe any damn fool thing one wants, as long as it doesn't result in physical harm to others.

As for “mental harm”, that is a very slippery slope. It was popular in some circles in the 1970s to kidnap people. Then, one set of programming or brainwashing would be replaced with another. As if some people have a monopoly on, and ability to divine, absolute truth.

Snowflakes were never intended to be insulated from life. Indeed, they are just as free to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster as they are in anything else that doesn't actually harm others.

Many of those leaving Europe for America did so because they didn't want the jackboot of a State Religion upon their throats. They had formed their own beliefs, and didn't need their thinking dictated by Kings, Popes, Mark Zuckerberg, or anyone else.

It is no great revelation to point out that there have been long-term and gradual efforts to turn the US into a nation of mental mush. To divide, weaken, conquer, and liquidate.

Today's case in point: One of many efforts by Facebook to establish an Official Religion. Here the pretext is, “Facebook Community Standards”, which are like the exchange between Humpty Dumpty and Alice:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less.''

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

''The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

--"Alice In Wonderland", by Lewis Carroll

]W]hen a Christian posts that, “Jesus died so you could live” – which would be one of the religion’s core beliefs – the person behind the post may yet end up accused of “hate speech” over on Facebook.

[Snip]

The post was deleted altogether after an “appeal.”

“Your appeal was reviewed,” claimed Facebook, adding, “We are unable to show content that goes against our community standards on hate speech.”
