There’s this meme going around (dozens actually) about cats and the Haitians who love to eat them.
They’re all quite hilarious if you ask me.
In my humble opinion (this one to the left), in particular is the best. Why? It’s funny but even more, it encapsulates what is wrong with our nation at present.
And what is that, you might ask? Because it makes plain for all to see that there is a huge disconnect between the Rulers and the Ruled. (We would be in the latter category.)
You see, the “debate” we saw last Tuesday was more like an ambush. It was three against one. Two “journalists” (David Muir and Linsey Davis) who “moderated” the debate joined the Democrat nominee and ran interference for her.
Actually, they did more than that. They actively lied for her. I won’t go into every little detail. Instead, I’ll concentrate on just one. Trump made an assertion that Haitians were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. Muir assured us that this was baseless.
Only it wasn’t.
The Golden Don knew what he was talking about. He also knows this: that the Establishment is completely clueless but the people know what they’re about. To borrow from Solzhenitsyn, we know not to live by lies.
And so, we fight on.

“The philosophical roots of euthanasia can be found among the Greeks and Romans”

‘ Jonathon Van Maren speaks with Dr. Richard Weikart about his new book ‘Unnatural Death: Medicine’s Descent From Healing to Killing,’ which details the history of philosophies that led to the acceptance of euthanasia in the West.
(LifeSiteNews) — On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon speaks with historian and professor Dr. Richard Weikart about his new book Unnatural Death: Medicine’s Descent From Healing to Killing, which details the history of philosophies that led to the acceptance of euthanasia in the modern Western world.
Jonathon asked Weikart why the book traces the history of euthanasia all the way back to Greco-Roman times, when most people only began in Nazi Germany, and how we can trace that thread to the present day. Weikart noted that there was no assisted suicide during this period, but prominent philosophers of the age debated the morality of suicide.
“[S]ome approved of suicide, like the Stoics, for example, the Stoic philosophers, which was very popular among the Romans especially, they thought that suicide was a noble thing if it was done [when] you’re suffering,” the historian said. “There were others, like Aristotle, who took a dimmer view of suicide, although some of these philosophers still did think that there were some pauses, perhaps when it may be moral, but for the most part they thought it was immoral. Some, like Socrates and others, again, they made some exceptions for it.”
Weikart also underscored that infanticide was a common practice in the Greco-Roman world, especially for babies who had disabilities. “They did what they called ‘exposing’ the child, which meant that they put it out in the fields or hillside where it would die of dehydration or be consumed by some wild animal. And so I start there because that seems to be the first place where [there are] really serious philosophical debates going on that would have ramifications for subsequent history.”
The professor then explained that in the fourth century, once Christianity became the dominant intellectual driving force in Europe, previous ideas of suicide were overturned.
“In fact, it was enshrined in law that suicide was illegal to such an extent that they actually punished people. Now, how can you punish someone who commits suicide? Well, they actually would punish the heirs, very often, by stripping them of property,” Weikart explained. “And so, if you committed suicide, you knew that your heirs would be punished for you having committed suicide. Also, your body would be dishonored very often too, you wouldn’t be given an honorable burial.”
The historian noted that infanticide and abortion were also banned during this period, and Christian philosophy would continue to predominate until the Enlightenment period.
Jonathon later noted the cognitive shift on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide during the Enlightenment and Renaissance period, highlighting what George Grant wrote on the subject in his book Third Time Around: The History of the Pro-Life Movement from the First Century to the Present.
“[H]e really gets into the extent to which infanticide and exposure and abortion really came back during the Renaissance because people were going back to these pagan times. And it wasn’t just about recovering the art and the philosophy and the literature, but it was also about returning to a pre-Christian worldview with regards to infanticide and euthanasia,” the host said, before asking Weikart how he would characterize this cognitive shift.

Weikart agreed with Grant’s assessment, emphasizing that this shift wasn’t overt right away, with no one writing in favor of euthanasia or suicide. Still, some books were written that portrayed these acts positively. He explained that it wasn’t until the 18th century that philosophers started to write favorably of suicide, with the well-known British philosopher David Hume writing the essay “On Suicide.”
“[H]e argued in that essay ‘On Suicide,’ not only that suicide was perfectly morally legitimate, but he said that the value of a human being is no greater than the value of an oyster, that’s actually the animal he compares us to there,” he said. “That we’re no more valuable than oysters, and because of that, then killing a human being is not all that big [of] a deal, really.” ‘
VJM says
Where, at least for the average leftist, ‘progress’ is about perfectly eradicating all suffering and inconvenience, abortion and euthanasia fit like a glove.
And where, for the average leftist dictator, ‘progress’ is about de-humanising humanity as much as possible, abortion and euthanasia fit just as well.
See the symmetry between total comfort and hatred for humanity in a world that’s fallen and where being human means at least some suffering.
If only the average leftist could see that being overly frightened of suffering made them a pussy, they’d turn away from that way of life and try and do more.
And if only the leftist dictator could see that hating humans made them an a-hole, then perhaps some progress could finally be made there, too

Another conspiracy *theory* turns out to be conspiracy *fact*:
“Toxic Exposures: FDA Approves Vaccine for Mpox — Warns It May
Cause Death in Vaccinated and People They Come in Contact With”
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-acam2000-mpox-vaccine-warning-death-unvaccinated/
‘ ACAM2000, a vaccine approved last month by the FDA for mpox, comes with a list of “serious complications,” including myocarditis, death and fetal death. The FDA’s medication guide also warns that people who receive the vaccine may spread it to unvaccinated people, who also risk developing vaccine side effects, including death.
by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.
September 17, 2024 • Updated September 18, 2024
A vaccine approved in August by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people deemed to be at “high risk” for mpox infection may cause more harm than good, according to the FDA’s own medication guide for the product.
ACAM2000 — made by Emergent BioSolutions, a company specializing in vaccines for biochemical warfare threats such as anthrax and smallpox — was approved for smallpox in 2007.
However, on Aug. 29, the FDA issued an expanded supplement approval for ACAM2000’s use against mpox.
Since then, social media users have been posting clips of the FDA’s ACAM2000 medication guide, which warns the vaccine may cause “serious complications” in both the vaccinated person and those with whom they come into close contact up to 6 weeks after getting the shot.
Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D. — senior research scientist at Children’s Health Defense — told The Defender that the FDA’s approval of the shot is a “public hazard, not the practice of public health.”
“You can call ACAM2000 a ‘vaccine,’ but its impact on the United States will be as a ‘disease,’” Jablonowski said.
He added:
“For instance, the drug’s package insert reveals (see Table 3) that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found roughly 520 per million ACAM2000 recipients contracted myocarditis or pericarditis.
“That is about 1 in 2,000. But elsewhere in the package insert, the FDA acknowledges that — based on additional studies — the risk is actually 5.7 per 1,000 vaccinations.
“That’s about 1 in every 175 people. If the 262 million adults in the U.S. received this vaccine, an estimated 1,493,000 would contract the serious adverse reaction of myopericarditis.”
Myopericarditis is an umbrella term for myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, and pericarditis, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart.
Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist and biological warfare expert, told The Defender that the CDC also acknowledged this same figure — myopericarditis in 5.7 per 1,000 primary ACAM2000 vaccinations — during a June 23, 2022, meeting.
“It’s a huge number,” Nass said. “The fact that the FDA and CDC are acknowledging it means no one should get the vaccine.”
She explained:
“Myopericarditis is a life-threatening condition. It lowers your life expectancy.
“Most people are never going to be exposed to mpox or smallpox. Vaccines are typically given to healthy people who are never even going to be exposed, therefore the risk posed by the vaccine needs to be low.
“That’s why vaccine safety is critical — even more than drugs, because drugs are given to people who are already sick.
“This risk — 1 in 175 — is higher than all other licensed vaccines for which the CDC acknowledges side effects. This is the worst.”
ACAM2000 can also cause fetal death when taken during pregnancy, the package insert states.
Additionally, the shot contains a “live vaccinia virus” that can be spread to — and possibly cause the death of — people who have close contact with the vaccinated person up to 6 weeks following vaccination, according to the medication guide.
The guide — which the FDA requires to be given to patients before they get the ACAM2000 vaccine — says, “ACAM2000 can cause serious complications in vaccinated individuals and in their close contacts to whom the vaccine virus has spread.”
Jablonowski said, “The spread of vaccinia virus is an infliction and an assault, as an unsuspecting person cannot possibly consent.”
“For good reasons you would not consent to this vaccine,” Jablonowski said, “even if you believed your benefits outweigh your risks, as you become a potential vector of a disease that is damaging to the heart and fatal to both fetus and infant.”
Risk of serious complications and death in vaccinated and those exposed to vaccinated individual
ACAM2000 is a single-dose vaccine administered using a bifurcated needle that’s been dipped into the vaccine solution, according to an Emergent BioSolutions press release.
In its Aug. 30 press release, the FDA stressed that “every person” who receives ACAM2000 is “required” to be given the drug’s FDA-approved medication guide.
“A Medication Guide is necessary,” the FDA said, “for safe and effective use of the vaccine because it could help prevent serious adverse events and inform the vaccine recipient of serious risks relative to benefit that could affect their decisions to be vaccinated.”
The guide lists serious possible complications, including: myocarditis, inflammation of the brain or spinal cord, serious skin infections, spreading the vaccine virus through the blood to other parts of the body and fetal death if taken during pregnancy.
According to the guide, “The risks for serious vaccine side effects are greater for people who:
• have heart problems or a history of heart problems
• are taking steroid eye drops or ointment
• have a weakened immune system
• have skin problems such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, burns, impetigo, contact dermatitis, chickenpox, shingles, psoriasis, or uncontrolled acne
• are less than 1 year old
• are pregnant or become pregnant within 6 weeks after vaccination.”
ACAM2000’s package insert warns of a longer list of possible serious complications, including:
“Myocarditis and/or pericarditis, encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, encephalopathy, progressive vaccinia (vaccinia necrosum), generalized vaccinia, severe vaccinial skin infections, erythema multiforme major (including Stevens-Johnson syndrome), eczema vaccinatum, accidental eye infection (ocular vaccinia) which can cause ocular complications including keratitis and corneal scarring that may lead to blindness, and fetal death in pregnant women.”
The insert also goes into more detail about the risk of death:
“Historically, death following vaccination with live vaccinia virus is a rare event; approximately 1 death per million primary vaccinations and 1 death per 4 million revaccinations have occurred after vaccination with live vaccinia virus.
“Death is most often the result of sudden cardiac death, post-vaccinial encephalitis, progressive vaccinia, or eczema vaccinatum.
“Death has also been reported in unvaccinated contacts accidentally infected by individuals who have been vaccinated.” … ‘

Here’s the thing. Let’s pretend for two seconds that Trump was wrong/being hyperbolic. The fact is he was drawing attention to a very real problem in a small Ohio town that was, in fact, caused by the present administration, and then being ignored by them. Real persons, on the ground, are suffering from this reckless influx of Haitians, and Trump was a major figure, with a national platform, bringing attention to it. I thought those with platforms supposedly had some moral responsibility to use it to help the downtrodden. Anyway, the point is, the left tried to divert attention away from their mistakes by making the focus whether or not they were, in fact, eating people’s pets. This is the same mentality that has people concentrating on whether there were one or two angels at the tomb instead of the fact that Christ rose from the dead. Glad to see we have our priorities straight.
Hilber Nelson says
The Haitian invasion of Springfield, Ohio is the brainchild of Secretary of State Director Antony Blinken, is then signed off by Biden, and is paid for by you and me. And, from what I’m reading, is happening coast to coast.
If you are at all worried whether your town is in danger of invasion, research to see if ICE has a center nearby. If so, scout for activity, like the arrival of busloads of migrants. Take pictures, send them to your sheriff, state attorney general, local media, church members, social media, city council, state and local legislators. Expect flack. Take extra security measures to protect yourself and your family… and cats!
This invasion should not be a shock since our government was caught “losing” 325,000 kids smuggled across the border. They are disappearing into fake foster homes, fake sponsors, have been rescued from sex traffickers, hospitality businesses, etc. Translation: our government is running (along with cartels) the largest human trafficking operation, ever. These kids are modern slaves by the Democrat Party’s own hand. Not a peep of concern has been raised from border czar Harris, or Homeland Security Mayorkus. No surprise there.
Is it any coincidence that Americans are aborting their kids that contribute to our below replacement population level while our government is importing undocumented minor and adult Democrats? I say it’s no coincidence, but is the plan for one party rule.

Gail Sheppard says
We all know the origin of the families that control the MSM who are firmly on the side of the West and NATO. Since we (meaning us, digital warriors) came on the scene, their popularity has dwindled significantly. I’m wondering: Would the MSM start aggressively taking out Trump with their own resources. Could they be behind this shooting? – Interested what you all think about that. Does this sound crazy? Could the NYT, et al., be behind this?

Do the drugs companies create the maladies
for which they sell the ‘cures’?
In many cases, yes.
But would the MSM create the news
which they relate to their consumers?
I doubt it. Enough happens already
that there is no need to make news.
However, is it possible that a reporter,
discovering some event in the making,
might let it happen to milk the effect?
Human nature being what it is, perhaps…
For a serious depiction of such a scenario,
complete with gullible public lapping it all up,

I’m going to say “no”. As to why they’re not going to raise one finger is the same reason that the National Assoc of Women (NOW) was deadly silent when it came to women’s rights being actually violate by trannies invading women’s locker rooms or beating up actual women in women’s sports.
I’m just too cynical at this point: the ultimate purpose of grievance groups (like the ACLU, ADL, NOW, etc) was to weaken the fabric of society, not to actually champion their stated causes.
