The Federal Trade Commission has opened a Federal investigation into why McDonald’s ice cream machines are broken so often. It’s nice to know that the US doesn’t have any other pressing issues.

COVID
Here it comes
I posted the story about how the left thinks that kids can and should be vaccinated over their parents objections, and here comes Pfizer, saying that their vaccine will be approved for children by the end of the year.

Amazon takeover
Amazon provides web servers for 40 percent of all online content. Companies like the BBC, Fox, Netflix, Capitol One, Coca Cola, and Twitter all use Amazon for their web servers. This is important because Amazon announced last week that it has created a team that will begin looking at content that it hosts to determine if that content is “a threat.” Threats will include what Amazon refers to as “extremist groups” who post “dangerous content” including misinformation, inciting violence, or extremism. In other words, double ungood think. Once these groups are identified, they will be eliminated from the server.
This places Amazon in the unique position of being in control of the Internet. Anyone want to take bets on whether or not things like Donald Trump, opposition to the jab, or the Second Amendment foundation will be permitted?
Smaller blogs like mine just don’t have the traffic to justify the expense of a dedicated server. I have a solution. I have set up a virtual server that is outside of the USA, beyond Amazon’s control, and will not respond to cancel culture arm twisting. The expense is a bit high for a small blog, but my aim is to make it more affordable by splitting the cost.
Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. The cost for the server is $25 a month. You can even choose to pay it through my Patreon. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put “won’t be silenced” in the subject line.
The Collapse
Trust the science
Science is now attempting to normalize homosexuality by claiming that it is an inherited trait.
The Collapse
Combat continues
The ongoing battles continue in the Interstate 5 corridor from the Canadian border south to Eugene, Oregon.
- Sept 4: One man was shot as the Proud Boys and Antifa were engaged in a skirmish
- August 23: A gun battle between a man and Antifa took place in broad daylight. Antifa members hid the shooters and policed their brass.
For that reason, the entire I-5 corridor is still considered an area of active, low intensity combat. I would also point out that the violence that we saw is still taking place in many areas, it’s just that the press is no longer covering it.
Anti American left
Your kids are property of the State
The left believes that your children belong to the state. Parents, according to them, are not permitted to decide what is best for their children. This quote from the article sums it up:
When it comes to society’s interest in protecting children, the legal precedent is unambiguous: The rights of their parents come second.
With this in mind, how long will it be before the state decides what job they will perform, whether or not your child will receive a sex change operation, and whether or not they even get to live with you?
Doctors who want to sit there and tell parents that they know best need to remember thalidomide, or the fact that a study by Johns Hopkins University estimates that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, killing more than 250,000 people a year.
They want to vaccinate and mask your children over your objections. They cite the health of your children, even though only 470 US children have died of COVID in the past 20 months, according to the CDC’s own data. In fact, fewer children died last year than in previous years.
This isn’t unusual. Approximately 188 children a year die from the flu.
None of that matters to the state. If you are reading this blog and don’t yet understand that the left considers us all to be the property of the state, I don’t know that you ever will get it.
All I know is that THIS video from Gunfreezone boils my blood. This is what the left wants for your children. This is my red line in the sand. I will kill to defend my children and my grandchildren.

But it’s their culture
Young Afghan girls have been forced into marriages in order to escape Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover. Intake staff at Fort McCoy reported multiple cases where young girls were presented as ‘married’ to much older Afghan men, as well as polygamous families. Afghan girls at a transit site in Abu Dhabi have alleged they have been raped by older men they were forced to marry in order to escape Afghanistan.
The Collapse
History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes
How much of this sounds familiar to you?
Benito Mussolini coined his system of government the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento on Mar. 23, 1919, in Milan, Italy. Mussolini thought that democracy was a failed system. He thought that liberty of expression and liberty of parties was a sham, and that fascism would organize people under state power. This, in his mind, would make people more free because there would be no classes, no decisions to be made. Everything would be decided for you by the state. Mussolini wrote:
The Fascist conception of life accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with the State. . . . Fascism reasserts the rights of the state. If classical liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government. The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity.
Benito Mussolini
Violence was seen as beneficial to society and a necessary function of government. The main way the fascists got to power was by killing off and intimidating what was the largest and most popular party, the Socialist Party. Squadrists, terrorists who would descend upon towns in trucks, uniformed in black shirts, had knives and they killed thousands of people from 1919 to 1922. The violence escalated to the point that the people began clamoring for someone to end the violence. Mussolini led a protest march to Rome, where they planned to demand an end to the violence. and demand an end to the Prime Minister’s term. On October 28, 1922 Mussolini was named Prime Minister in his place.
At first, Mussolini’s rule looked great. The budget was balanced, competitive elections were held, freedom of the press was still present, and trade unions were still permitted to strike. Then 1925 came. The largest businesses supported the new plan. Select individuals, those who had garnered Mussolini’s favor, supported the new economy.
The economy became centrally planned with heavy state subsidies, and high tariffs prevented foreign competition. Cronyism was rampant, large deficits as far as the eye could see were caused by profligate government spending. Bank and industry bailouts were widespread, the bureaucracy grew ever larger, mostly supporting massive social welfare programs, crushing national debt, inflation, and a highly regulated, multiclass, integrated national economic structure. In short, the government decided the winners and losers.
Benito Mussolini identified his economic policies with “state administered capitalism,” the exact phrase that Vladimir Lenin used to describe his “New Economic Policies.” Mussolini’s fascism combined market-based mechanisms and socialism, similar to China’s “market driven socialism.” In fact, Mussolini often said that he was a follower of Keynesian economics.
Reading all of the above, which of America’s political belief systems do you think sounds more like fascism?
