Another bureaucratic action is being taken by the Biden administration. This time, the EPA submitted a proposed rule for public comments that would ban most refrigerants by January 1, 2025. Industry experts weighed in against the rule, or at least pointed out that it wasn’t feasible on the timeline. As usual, the government ignored the comments and is passing it any way.
The replacement refrigerants are all toxic and flammable, with equipment needing to be redesigned and technicians needing to be trained to handle them safely. This cant be done in only 18 months. The EPA doesn’t care.
This regime is deliberately destroying the US. They’ve told you that’s the goal, why do so few people believe it?
The legislature of the state of Tennessee is now powerless. Earlier, three of its members decided that they did not want to address the issues that the remainder of the body wanted to deliberate on that day. They led protesters into the chamber, and using bullhorns, they wrested control of the days agenda from the other 96 members of the legislative body, refusing to yield the floor. When the 99 members of that body overwhelmingly voted to censure the three by expelling two of them, those who were removed and their followers screamed about democracy.
Those people had their way, with the city of Nashville unanimously voting to send one of the expelled members right back. He reentered the legislature, even more disruptive and defiant than before. In his return speech, he DARED the members of the legislature to try and stop him, and effectively declared that the members of the Tennessee legislature are now his bitches. (I would post a video of that speech, but I can’t stand the way that he talks for long enough to do so. The way that he is imitating Martin Luther King, Jr. by drawing out some of the words is annoying and makes me want to throw my laptop.)
The entire legislature now looks like an impotent group of horse’s asses. They turned him into a martyr, and are now running scared at the accusations of racism.
This entire series of events guarantees that the legislature WILL discuss whatever he wants them to discuss, when he wants to discuss it. If they do not, he will again disrupt the meeting with a bullhorn, and there isn’t a thing that anyone can do about it. Gun control? Trans rights? Reparations? All of it is on the table, should Justin Jones decide that it will be so.
Now one would think that turnabout is fair play. The Republicans can attempt to do the same, grabbing a bullhorn and hijacking the legislature when they can’t get their way, but if there is anything that we have learned from the reactions to 2020’s BLM riots and J6, it is this: there are two sets of rules in this country. The Republicans simply don’t have the balls to realize that they are being played. They still believe that there are rules, and principles, and have a concept of shame and a sense of fair play.
Those things are all luxuries that we can no longer afford. The war has been joined, and until Republicans realize that this is a winner take all bare knuckled brawl in a back alley and not a boxing match following Marquis de Queensbury rules of decorum, they will continue to bend over and be the left’s bitches. Once this system is seen to work in Tennessee, other states will fall in similar fashion.
The Biden administration is about to release a regulation that would outlaw non-electric cars by 2032.
I’m not sure our electric grid or automobile manufacturers can meet that deadline.
A recent survey found that 63% of men aged 18-29 are remaining single. There is much hand wringing and guessing as to why that is. I can tell you. The number of single young men is nearly twice that of single young women, indicating a large breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual lives of American men.
The article I linked to is trying to place this at the feet of men, claiming that men have an unrealistic view of women and of relationships because men have objectified women. Bullshit. It’s women doing the objectifying. Why else are so many women making money on Only Fans?
Aesop responds to my post on the destruction of the rule of law, and it brought to mind some interesting thoughts on the law, or more accurately the reasons why faith in the law is deliberately being undermined.
The law, and by extension law enforcement, exists to ensure that people get a fair trial and a punishment that is proportionate to the crime. In order for the law to work, the people that the law is supposed to represent have to believe that the law is fair and just.
Once law fails in that responsibility, or in the absence of law, the people will take the law into their own hands. What we have here is an entire segment of the population (blacks) who believe that the law is unfair and doesn’t protect them. Right or wrong, perception is reality. So they are taking the law into their own hands.
Once that becomes widespread, the targets of their version of justice can either capitulate or push back. In either case, the widespread disillusionment with the law is exactly what those who would bring down the nation want. As I have been pointing out for three years now, the left is following the CIA insurgency manual almost to the letter. What we are seeing here is the result of Fifth Generation Warfare.
The final stage of the overthrow of a government is easy to see in retrospect, but difficult to see while it is happening. Scholars have identified signals of this crisis state to include a decisive loss of legitimacy by the government, financial collapse, breakdown in authority, strong symbolic actions, and perception of dual sovereignty or provisional authority, among others. It begins modestly- assassinations, disappearances, unexplained deaths that aren’t fully investigated, and seemingly random attacks.
The goal of the insurgency is twofold: to convince the citizens that the government is powerless or unwilling to protect them, and that the insurgents ARE and WILL protect them. They need to create a failure of basic government services, like the rule of law. When enough people become restless and convinced that the rule of law has failed, that critical mass of people will look for a savior. That is when those who would overthrow the government step forward and offer to do what the people think that the government cannot.
This story has played out again and again. It isn’t my idea. Every single bit of this plan is right out of the CIA insurgency manual. You can find a PDF copy of it on the “training manuals” page, linked right at the top of this blog. Heck, the CIA weren’t the first to use it. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” which in itself followed Lenin’s “Stages of a Revolution,” which was also a modification of Mao’s own theories on Communist revolutions. Hitler did it, too, although the Germans and their “Beer Hall Putsches” turned it into a national sport before Hitler was even a Corporal.
As I pointed out this morning, things are gonna suck. All we can do is ride it out. Just try to live long enough to read about it in a history book.
It’s becoming more and more obvious that the system of government that we have is failing. The way things are just can’t continue, and anything that can’t continue, won’t. Things are going to get bad. I know there are some who think that things are horrible already.
You haven’t seen anything, yet.
There haven’t been purges. The secret police haven’t yet begun to round people up in the middle of the night. There are no death squads.
We may wind up in a civil war. We may even wind up in a Communist Dictatorship with Biden as the nominal head of the party. Know that there is nothing that you can do about it. What is gonna happen is what will happen. The people reading this blog just aren’t in position or power to prevent it.
What you are in control of is how prepared you are to deal with it, and how you deal with it. There are going to be real tests of your resolve, your character, your will to survive. Now is the time to finish preparing. Now is the time to figure out who you can trust, and who you need to keep at arms’ length.
Just know that you are not alone. There are millions of people who feel the same as you do, even when you feel like all is lost. They will try to convince you otherwise. Organize locally. Make friends. Keep your eyes open, and learn. Take notes. Know your neighbors. Not just your allies, but learn who will be an informer, who will be an enemy, and who is just an NPC. Hide your preps.
How long do we have? We don’t know. It may be a year, it may be ten. One thing is for sure, when it does all go south, it will seem to have done so with blinding speed. Be ready.
Two days ago, I was worried that Biden was nationalizing the banks. Nope. The reality is even worse. The Biden administration is only ensuring that depositors who support the Democrats are being bailed out. The rest of America can just fuck right off, as far as this administration is concerned. Janet Yellen announced that the Treasury will NOT be bailing out large depositors in any banks that collapse in the future. This is causing a MASSIVE run on small and mid sized banks as depositors rush to get their money out and into larger banks like Chase, BoA, and Wells Fargo, while simultaneously causing stock holders in the banking industry to sell their holdings like they are worthless, which they soon will be. What you are seeing is the early stages of the destruction of the US banking sector.
What makes this even scarier is when you ask yourself why they are doing this? It’s almost like it is deliberate, and it’s also as if the Democrats aren’t worried about consequences. The last time the Democrats acted so unconcerned, they stole the 2020 election.
Even scarier is that it’s happening everywhere, not just the USA.
With the news that law students and faculty at Stanford Law School shouted down a visiting appeals court justice, preventing him from delivering the speech that he had been asked to give at the school, we see that even prestigious law schools don’t want to hear from anyone from the other side of the political aisle.
Couple that with faculty and students being attacked by a virtual lynch mob of other students because of their political beliefs, I just can’t see any other possible result on the horizon than the outbreak of outright hostilities.
The ever increasing animosity and violence has been ramping up for years. Reminiscent of the period before the Civil War when fistfights erupted on the floor of Congress. Outside of Congress, people would attack and beat their Representatives in the street.
Even Politico sees the parallels between now and the 1850’s. The difference here is that Politico is blaming the right for the violence, and using the attack on Paul Pelosi as evidence. Of course, we know that the Pelosi attack was his gay lover attacking Pelosi. Even if you DON’T believe the gay lover story, there is no evidence that the attack had anything to do with politics.
Even in the days before the American Revolution, there was violence. Keep in mind that in those days, those who lived in North America were all of the same country. That didn’t stop British soldiers from raping and killing local women. Colonists would tar and feather tax collectors before burning down the tax collector’s house.
Wars between citizens of a same country are especially bitter because of the similarities between combatants. Like a couple that has been married for too long, each party knows how to hurt the other, and they do.
In the current day conflict, we are seeing an extension of the conflict of the Civil War: does one side in a political debate have the power to force the other side to do their bidding? The Civil War was one of country farmers in the south versus the industrial city dwellers of the north. The south didn’t have the industrial base to win the war. In today’s case, it will be the country and suburban counties versus the heavily populated cities. Will the cities have the industrial base to win?
Who knows, but the last Civil War was the bloodiest we have ever had. The next one will be even worse.
