You Can’t Recount Your Way Out of This

Sat, 07 Nov 2020 05:06:59 GMT

Every. Single. Word.

It’s a hot mess inside of a shitstorm

From about 1990 until midterms, 2018, I was a non-voter, even though I generally supported libertarian and conservative ideals and to limited extent, the politics that ensue.

Though a non-believer in literal interpretations of religious faiths, I am nonetheless a champion for the Enlightenment values embodied in Western Civilization. I’m a conservative in this regard. I oppose progressivism, socialism, feminism, racism, genderism, sexism, environmentalism, and all else-isms that corrode the Essential Spirit of America.

Conservatism isn’t perfectionism, but it does place stock in what’s proven to advance the state of humanity, its self-determination, and happiness. It is careful about incorporating new things because they are unproven and often, they come packaged with prima facie destructive elements from the perspective of gains achieved by human civilization and how such gains came about.

Progressivism-socialism is parasitism. It’s everyone trying to live at the expense of everyone else. It’s cannibal pot hysteria.

Make America Great Again is a reasonable creed for conservatives who, not wanting to turn back the time-machine, nonetheless want to preserve and advance those things that made us great from the beginning.

Trump embodies that. I don’t just accept and tolerate him; I enthusiastically, unabashedly adore and endorse him.

Though I’m an American expat in Thailand, I’m a registered Republican in Nevada, my state of birth. I voted absentee in the proper way: by reading the procedures, proving my residency (Nevada DL and in-state address of record), registering, and requesting a ballot…which I received electronically and returned as prescribed (a password-protected PDF). I even got a personal email reply from the Washoe county registrar’s office acknowledging receipt and assuring me it would be processed.

…And yet, there are apparently millions of Biden voters all across the country who live right down the street from the voting precinct, but can’t seem to figure out how to get a proper and valid vote in, on time. And seemingly, all attention is focussed on “counting those votes”…it’s the most important and pressing thing in the universe…

There is little to no clarity on any of this mess, from either side.

Typical republican says “every vote must count,” and it subsumes legitimate, legal votes by those legally qualified, who followed the rules, procedures, deadlines, etc.

Typical democrat says it, and it’s euphemism for any ballot from anywhere, at any time, in duplicate, from the dead, excess, fraudulent…in short, any sort of scrap of paper blowing in the wind with anything resembling what looks to be a “vote” on it.

But here’s the disconnect in all of this. In spite of all of the many “irregularities”—to be the most charitable of my life—the general consensus is to finish the counting (of what, exactly?) and then perform recounts where appropriate.

Recount what, exactly? I’m not going to list all the “irregularities.” Many have done that already, including Anthony Colpo. Trump is Right: The U.S. Election is Being Rigged. For up-to-dates on developments, including inside whistleblowers coming forward, consult Project Veritas.

So, what to recount? There are the in-person votes from early voting and election day. There are mail-in ballots. But, within those, there are the longstanding absentee ballots where a due and legitimate registered voter requests it, gets it, votes it, and it’s returned by election day. But now, there is a new class of mail-in ballot: unsolicited. They’re simply just sent out to all those on the roles, whether still alive, whether at a current address, whether there’s a forwarding address, etc. I’m sure procedures vary state-to-state as to how clean those registration roles are, but even still, it has an element of being a ballot in the wind if, at the very least, it has not been requested and is expected by the voter.

Claims vary, but the number appears to be somewhere between 40 and 80 million of these unsolicited ballots in the wind.

In the last couple of days, the Trump campaign and RNC have draw a valid narrative distinction between legal and illegal ballots. The problem is, unless you have a hard-stop rule, such as a time deadline, how do you know, amongst the ballots in the wind, what’s legitimate and what’s not? See some of the Project Veritas exposé to see what I mean.

Voter fraud has a long history and legacy, but at the urban-city level.

“Vote early and often.”
The cynical phrases “Vote early — and often” and “Vote early — and vote often” are variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson, mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.

But that’s their own shit on their own doorstep; it’s not a federal case. Hell, it’s not even typically county-wide, and certainly not a statewide problem. So let them have at it if that’s the level of “integrity” those inner-city Democrats “aspire” to.

Former Dem Governor Rod Blagojevich says "Is the Pope Catholic?" when asked if the Democrats are stealing votes in Philadelphia. He also says he believes it’s more widespread than just Philly. Sort of interesting given his experience in Democrat corruption.pic.twitter.com/khjr26CjDZ

Recounts are going to get you nowhere.

The mass-mail-out of unsolicited ballots fundamentally introduced garbage into the system; since, simply, you cannot know who filled them in—or filled in a few hundred or thousand—and there wasn’t necessarily anyone expecting the ballot: as a result of requesting it.

You are not going to get a gourmet meal out of that, no matter how many times you recount the garbage.

Once this whole fraud-plan born of CovidCon gets unraveled, if it ever does, who goes to jail, who gets a bullet to the head or a lethal dose in the arm?

Nobody does, and the loser, cucked Republican-establishment blue bloods will be the first to waive hands to stop the needed and required meting out of justice. Many already are. No big thing, right? So, they’ll make inner-city wink-nod “democracy” the same mockery throughout the whole land, content that they still hold their own power, along with their own connections to the connected.

I have no confidence the courts can get to the bottom of this turd and polish it in a timely manner.

There are two non-court paths to what I personally consider to be an essential Trump 2nd term in the office of President of the United States.

The Republicans control the State legislatures of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, at a minimum. The State legislatures can appoint whatever electors they wish. That’s the the Constitutional election of President. A vote by the populace is just a convention that can be revoked at will by any State legislature, even if they have to legislate to do it—it’s perfectly in-line with the U.S. Constitution.
If not resolved by January 20—State legislatures cumulatively don’t deliver 270 electors minimum for any candidate—it goes to the U.S. House of Representatives, which the Democrats hold. But there’s a catch. In this instance, each state only gets 1 single vote. Yes, both California and New York count for 2 votes for President. (is that delicious, or what?)

There’s a silver-lining elegance to number 2, in that 99.99% of the global population is wholly unaware of it, all the while yak-yaking about meh electoral college (which they don’t even barely understand, either).

Cue late night infomercial: “BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!!”

Each state delegation votes en bloc, with each state having a single vote. A candidate is required to receive an absolute majority of state delegation votes (currently 26 votes) in order for that candidate to become the president-elect. The House continues balloting until it elects a president.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_election#Presidential_election

It has only gone that way once, in 1824, nearly 200 years ago, when John Quincy Adams got fewer “popular votes” than did Andrew Jackson, but more importantly, neither could garner enough electoral votes from the State legislatures for a majority. The U.S. House of Representatives elected Adams.

Is it high time to give the United States Population a civics lesson like they’ve never had—and shock the whole world in the process? Of course, with 1-State, 1-vote, Trump wins easily in his sleep.

…We’re still left with an enormous problem. In spite of Trump gaining much ground in terms of support within the “victim” classes of women, blacks, and hispanics, we’re left with a bad taste in our mouths—that so many could bring themselves to support the likes of Biden and Harris, who, to my mind, are the worst set of garbage ever put up for election at any time, anywhere in the history of the human political experimentation with democracy.

Puppets doesn’t even begin to delve into it, but there’s an element to it, since “the problem” with Trump is that he’s nobody’s puppet or fool—to say the least—and this infuriates the puppet masters on not just a U.S. level, but on a global one.

And there’s a deeper problem still. It’s systemic in our very notion of law, order, rules, regulation, and citizenship.

The systemic problem with rules, generally stated, is that honest people of good will follow them. Scoundrels issue forth with impressions and platitudes that they follow them the most, while following them the least.

Rules curtail the best people, while enabling the worst.

Unpact that reality.

…I began with Joe “Demented” Biden. I’ll finish with Joe “Freudian Slip” Biden.

Please Wear Your Mask to Help The Spread of Covid-19

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 11:59:29 GMT

Finally some good news.

Turns out, via CDC, that habitual mask wearers are the ones spreading the virus around the most.

That’s fantastic since the sooner everyone gets it, the sooner everyone can go meh and move on.

So, wear your masks, spread the virus.

Here’s the CDC link:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6936a5.htm?s_cid=mm6936a5_w

Of 153 positive and symptomatic patients (across 11 healthcare facilities), 85% wore masks “always” or “often,” 8% wore them “never” or “rarely,” and 7% wore them “sometimes.”

Wear your masks. Spread Covid-19. Please!

Incidentally, Tucker has latched onto the story. Won’t make any difference. For most people, the mask is not about health—though they all lie and say that it is, as well as protecting others (altruism badge). It’s a badge of compliance, a baseball bat to beat others over the head with, and a virtue-signal.

Basically, like children behave.

Here’s the video.

Thai Life Update: The Beach Condo and a Second Restaurant

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 09:51:30 GMT

I’ve been remiss, time to get back to it.

It wasn’t laziness, just a series of things that consumed my attention and focus. Plus, in some measure I’m just on-hold, waiting to see if the November election results just might constitute a cure or vaccine for the current global stupidity and insanity (the only and real virus in play).

Took the family to the beach for a 4-day holiday. In total, it was 11 of us in two cars, to Jomtien Beach, Pattaya, and back. 500 Km each way.
Made plans and executed to locate with my motorcycle and rent a condo there at Jomtien as a 2nd home—to split my time for work and focus and a place to bring the kids during vacations.
We did a weekend over on Koh Larn, 30 minutes and 30 baht ($1) by ferry.
Got my Thai drivers licenses.
Returned home to the village and started a second restaurant after the first has done so well in its first six weeks.

Let’s do some photos to mostly show and less tell, the story. Each one can be clicked to open a larger, higher-resolution version.

Have You Forgotten? Richard Lothar Nikoley Doesn’t Give An Eff What You "Think”

Since I installed Facebook Purity as a Chrome extension, it shows me everyone who has unfriended me, which numbers in the few dozens recently (only 1,285 to go). Invariably, unless they blocked me too, I go check their profile and yep: Democrat-leftist Moron; always virtue-signalling something—like a child trying to convince adults how great they are by means of putting their mud pies on display.

This is excellent. For, what has been ushered in is now nothing whatsoever short of a civilizational, social, cultural, and political climate that is become irrevocable and irreconcilable. Moreover, it has attained geopolitical proportions. it’s global. It’s two incompatible worlds, at war.

It’s utter, outright, and abject. I regard it appropriately, as such—no head-in-sand, hiding under covers…no mental reservation or purpose of evasion. Head-on.

I am become a staunch political separatist and supremacist. I would have that I never deal with another Democrat on any level, for life. Moreover, I support and applaud all action against them that non-violent supremacy implies while recognizing that peaceful resolution is, at this point, no longer an option—and it is they who have made that abundantly clear. So, bring it on! Overwhelming reciprocity is now key and becoming clearer by the day.

Chiefly, by means of lethal ostracism. Since they are either parasites directly, or, are supported by parasitism in large part, I would see the withdraw of all support by genuine net-value-producers, allowing them to parasitize each other, like a cannibal-pot hysteria.

Starvation to death is the end result. All without ever firing a shot. Simple, complete, total, merciless ostracism: the withdrawal of all values based upon the reality of the supremacy of the honest producer of genuine values for others, society, and the commons of the good. No mercy, no quarter. Absolute.

Nothing short of Human Civilization as Social Animals is at stake.

I Told You So: Stupid Covid People

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 02:01:39 GMT

— 2+2=5 and Dornails Dumb, Including Kurt Harris, NTIR (Never-Trump Image Reader) and Stephan Guyenet, MWBBN (Mask-Wearing Biden Brown-Noser)

Check their Twitter feeds if you don’t believe me. Also: check all of my posts on the Covid scam-fraud—that I saw coming miles away back in February—to verify that I have been essentially RIGHT from day one, far more intuitive and widely integrated than the two of those Dumb Fucks put together—which, incidentally, is the reason they always paid attention to little ole’ me. They know I’ve got something their faux educations never provided them and is unobtainable to their indoctrinated conventional “minds.”

Really quick, because I have to catch a ferry soon over to Koh Larn, from my new vacation condo here in Jomtien-Pattaya. (More on all of that later)

Here’s the study: Dynamic Change of COVID-19 Seroprevalence among Asymptomatic Population in Tokyo during the Second Wave

I’ll just quote from Alex Berenson’s Tweet Thread.

1/ INCREDIBLE STUDY:
615 adults in Tokyo were prospectively recruited to take Sars-Cov-2 antibody tests.
When the study began 6% had antibodies, indicating exposure.
By mid-summer 47% did. Half the population.
Not one person was hospitalized or died…
2/ BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE:
Many IgM antibody tests rapidly reverted to negative after being positive. So point-in-time antibody testing almost certainly UNDERESTIMATES exposure (which may be why it is so hard to get over 20% antibody positives in broad population studies)…
3/ The researchers wrote:
“This suggests that serological testing may significantly underestimate past COVID-19 infections, particularly when applied to an asymptomatic population.”
4/ In other words, if you test broadly and rapidly during an outbreak, you will find that a huge fraction of the population has been exposed/infected and is asymptomatic (we have seen this from PCR testing in settings like aircraft carriers, prisons, etc)…
5/ AND AS THE RESEARCHERS WROTE:
“These findings should also take into context the epidemiological dynamics seen during this COVID-19 wave. Japan took the atypical step of not instituting a mandatory lockdown…”
6/ “During this time, businesses, restaurants, and transportation were kept open, and public life continued relatively unabated. Nevertheless, the second wave peaked and subsided on its own… the possibility of herd immunity should be considered.” [con’t]…
7/ “If this [herd immunity] were true, then the remarkably low mortality related to COVID-19 should also be examined. Much like our cohort which had no reported hospitalizations, clinical severity in Tokyo was low [31 deaths, 14 million people].”
JFC. It was Earth all along.
Seriously, it is impossible to overstate the importance of this paper. It and the 40-cycle testing put all the pieces together.
https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1308802373029179399

That’s about all, folks. And it will change absolutely nothing—any more than sound scientific evidence persuades any young-earth creationist. Covid is, now, for the time being, the newest Unified Global Religion—complete with all essential elements of a secular religion (e.g., communism, socialism…along with its spiritual-religious-like original sin—in this case, that you breathe).

My "Magical” Fat and Weight Loss (with bonus video)

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 03:42:49 GMT

A typical Early Time Restricted Feeding (eTRF) window meal

This is an expanded version of an early-access post on Patreon and SubscribeStar. Now that my recent easy loss is in excess of 10 kilo (22 pounds), I’m going to focus a lot more on this because so many people just really need it. Tomorrow I’ll begin a 20-post series about The Fat Loss Blueprint, in review format. Yes, right up front, this is a program for purchase and it’s not cheap.

Let’s get that out of the way in the first paragraph. It’s also the most in-depth, comprehensive program by leaps and miles I’ve ever come across. First, what are my own practicalities, or, practices?

I’m being asked quite a lot what I’m doing, specifically, and especially in terms of exercise.

The Status

In a nutshell, I’ve meandered between 190 and 200 pounds for years, but more usually, between 195 and 205. That continued once I moved to Thailand. It began to change once I moved within Thailand to a very rural country area of southern Sisaket province not far from Cambodia. I was at 92 kilos, 202.5 pounds. This morning, 3 months later, 84 kilos, 180.5 pounds. 8 kilo, 17.5 pounds lost (now just over 10 since this was written). 8.6% of body mass, lost. Let’s zero-point-zero in.

This is from the fastic.com app which is the best fasting app I’ve tried and the free version is adequate for me. So, from arrival in mid-May at 92 kilo, I naturally shed 5 kilo in the first 2 1/2 months. But, that was high physical activity in terms of overseeing the building of my house (more on that in the video). In the next 3 weeks and change, I’ve shed an additional 3 kilo. That’s an increase in my rate-of-loss of 100% (0.5 kilo per week to 1 kilo per week).

The “magic” is that this doubling came at almost zero cost in terms of pain. In some senses, it’s more enjoyable and easy.

The first week is low because it wasn’t a complete 7 days. From 5 August to now is a full three weeks exactly and far from doing worse and worse, I’m doing more and better. I haven’t missed the 18 hour minimum since 9 August (15.5 hours only), 17 days ago. Most days are 19+ hours. SO, it’s 18:6 minimum, to 19:5, 20:4, or 21:3 at the most. I’m increasingly finding that just eating over 2-3 hours, whatever I want, within reason, keeps the progress easy and fast. At this point, 18-21 fasted hours daily doesn’t even hurt, anymore.

Rarely am I tempted—even when Yui puts an Original Lays chip to my lips, then proceeds to eat it, maximizing crunch sounds.

Here’s The New Thing. Those who’ve been around me since 2008 know that I was an early adopter of fasting, losing the brunt of my initial 60 pounds in about a year through Paleo-ish eating and 30 hour fasts, 2 per week. I tried the 18:6 thing for a while but didn’t like it better than the full-day fasts, probably because the pain was only twice per week.

Now it’s different and as I’ve acclimated, have found something even more powerful. it’s called Early Time Restricted Feeding.

Here’s the study. Not long, not many subjects, but enough to try it for yourself. Shifting the window to earlier has been the magic bullet.

Time-restricted feeding (TRF) is a form of intermittent fasting that involves having a longer daily fasting period. Preliminary studies report that TRF improves cardiometabolic health in rodents and humans. Here, we performed the first study to determine how TRF affects gene expression, circulating hormones, and diurnal patterns in cardiometabolic risk factors in humans. Eleven overweight adults participated in a 4-day randomized crossover study where they ate between 8 am and 2 pm (early TRF (eTRF)) and between 8 am and 8 pm (control schedule). Participants underwent continuous glucose monitoring, and blood was drawn to assess cardiometabolic risk factors, hormones, and gene expression in whole blood cells. Relative to the control schedule, eTRF decreased mean 24-hour glucose levels by 4 ± 1 mg/dl (p = 0.0003) and glycemic excursions by 12 ± 3 mg/dl (p = 0.001). In the morning before breakfast, eTRF increased ketones, cholesterol, and the expression of the stress response and aging gene SIRT1 and the autophagy gene LC3A (all p < 0.04), while in the evening, it tended to increase brain-derived neurotropic factor (BNDF; p = 0.10) and also increased the expression of MTOR (p = 0.007), a major nutrient-sensing protein that regulates cell growth. eTRF also altered the diurnal patterns in cortisol and the expression of several circadian clock genes (p < 0.05). eTRF improves 24-hour glucose levels, alters lipid metabolism and circadian clock gene expression, and may also increase autophagy and have anti-aging effects in humans.

Looks pretty good.

Exercise: resistance bands, standard body weight, and my Big Trick. I got a 40 kilo (88 pound) bag of cement and covered and taped it so it won’t break. I carry it 100 feet or so on one shoulder, shift shoulders and come back. Then, I cradle carry it for a round trip. Like deadlifts, carrying heavy enlists lots of muscles. Fantastic, primal, and actually useful and practical, unlike much in the exercise world where movement is divorced from any practical use.

Here’s the video.

Where Have All The Salty Expats Gone?

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 03:30:00 GMT

It’ll tell you: they are overrun by fat grazing hoards of herds of Karens and Kens.

When I encountered my first expats I didn’t even know the word. That was in 1984, Subic Bay, Philippines. Most of them, retired Navy guys. In Angeles City, you’ll find the retired Air Force. In terms of civilians, mostly Ausies—I guess because it’s relatively close.

But in all cases, I admired these dudes. Same for my first visit to Thailand—Pattaya, 1986. In that case, lots of the expats were current or ex offshore oil-rig workers. In other words, just like with the retired military: men, not cucked beta-boy Kens.

In 2015 I lived for a few months in Zacatitos, Mexico—an off-grid expat community on the tip of Baja. Wow, was I surprised. Where I expected competent, self-sufficient and self-directed people, what I got was 100% Karens dominating the Facebook Group with their constant meaningless, cutesy, non-sequitur, chicken-coup-squawking, and jabbering bullshit. The males? To an organism, beta-cucked Kens, all apologists for cunty girls-weekend bullshit.

Disgusting.

I ended up dubbing the pace The Lost American Suburb of Los Zacatitos.

I’m a member of 2 expat Facebook Groups here in Thailand: CHIANG MAI EXPATS with 19,200 members and PATTAYA EXPATS CLUB, with 15,100. Same Karen-dominated bullshit, with cucked Kens virtue signalling constantly, seeking chick approval like 4 year olds making mud pies.

I come with an example. I’ll withhold the name, as there’s nothing personal. It’s a cucked Ken whose profile reads: “Globalist. Anti-trafficking in persons professional with specialization in East and South Asia.” Also, “Worked at U.S. Department of State” and “Former Regional Director Asia at Global Fund to End Slavery.” So, make no mistake. This guy drips with BESTOWED virtue—because he likely has no virtue to be recognized by average folks. It must be bestowed by the Karens and authorities, for a faux sense of self esteem and personal worth.

Here’s his suck-up, virtue-signalling screed:

EXPAT in Thailand: Thoughts on Contrasting COVID-19 Responses
Today marks the 82nd day since Thailand last say an internally-spread COVID-19 case. The only cases seen now are those among Thais being repatriated from abroad under very controlled conditions – tested immediately upon arrival and regardless of test results placed in a govt quarantine center for at least 14 days.
The Thai economy is taking a huge hit. Tourism is all but dead. Thai Airways hasn’t flown since March and just reported a near $1 billion loss for the first two quarters of the year. Thais are hurting economically but they are united in supporting the tough COVID-19 prevention measures; 95% of Thais surveyed last week supported keeping the country closed to tourism for now.The total number of cases reported so far (and starting in January) is a bit over 3,100 and deaths total 58.
Despite this relatively positive situation (on the health front), everyone is still required to wear masks outside and is checked when entering any commercial or govt facility of any size. Temperature checks are everywhere and after clearing the temperature check, one must sign in at the relevant store/office – either in writing (leaving name and phone number) or using a govt app that has a QR code reader.
My family and I feel very fortunate to be living in Thailand and grateful and humble to be beneficiaries of responsible government and societal responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Everyone adopts the prevention procedures without argument – there are no “scenes” in stores or on airplanes. The risk of public shame keeps everyone in line – no one thinks of their “personal rights”
So, I feel that we are very safe right now. It wasn’t that difficult for the Thai government to get to this point. They followed the WHO guidance, they were proactive and got on top of trends of transmission, they found tests that could be administered on-site with immediate results. They forcibly quarantined people who tested positive (something the US apparently considers crazy) . They employed track-and-tracing of positive test cases. They did not follow the US Govt (CDC)
I’m just so sickened, disturbed and embarrassed that the U.S. is in a predicament normally found among lowest developed nationals with dysfunctional public health systems. And with a complacent, selfish attitude among so many Americans who resist the necessary measures to fight the virus. Some Americans want to have it all . .or at least too much during what is a national crisis. They want their NFL, NBA, Baseball, their open bars, hair salons, open schools, with only a token gesture to COVID-19 precautions. Sorry, but that’s a sure recipe for some much bigger numbers of cases and deaths.
The number of new COVID-19 infections reported now in the US in ONE HOUR is almost as large as the number of COVID-19 infections reported throughout Thailand since January 2020!!!
I hear US journalists appealing to readers/viewers to learn lessons from other countries . . .but it’s not happening. Americans are considered exceptional; it would be beneath them to take advice from another country.
5.5 million cases and over 170,000 deaths as of today. who is taking responsibly for a nation-wide response, including a robust testing strategy that provides results within hours, not weeks????America is pitiful. I am humbly thankful to Thailand, a country and government that take this pandemic seriously.

Oh, my. What a pathetic pussy-wanker suck up. This is what passes for a male expat in an exotic land, now. Facebook, social media in general, and the bussibodyness of western chicks have ruined it for everyone. And my former refined and focussed misanthropy gets increasingly blurry by the day.

Expat existence is best kept and defined as an old boy’s club. Suits me just fine.

That is all.

Covid-19 Told-You-So PSA

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 03:11:42 GMT

One of the very first things that became apparent to me back in early March was that:

Those dying “of” Covid-19 were typically old and frail
Of those, most had comorbidities (other serious medical conditions)

Yet the media, political, and corporate narrative of fear and panic marched on and even intensified as a means of maintaining the lie—now repeated so often and with such assuredness that it’s just taken for granted.

And the entire thing is, and always was, a giant hoax.

Even the CDC seems to have become impatient, most likely because any legitimacy they may have had is rapidly diminishing like a boy who cried wolf.

CDC: JUST 6% OF COVID DEATHS OCCURRED WITHOUT CO-MORBIDITIES

This past week the CDC finally seemed to get fed up with the coronavirus hysteria that has existed in this country since March.
First, the CDC released new guidelines saying there was no need for asymptomatic people to get tested if they were otherwise young and healthy. That’s even if you were exposed to someone who had tested positive for the virus.
Then the CDC put up on their official website the following details for people who have covid symptoms: “If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and want to get tested, call your healthcare provider first. Most people will have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care and may not need to be tested.”
So, yeah, the CDC is telling you to treat covid like any other illness. Stay home if you’re sick, you’ll probably be fine. That’s because for most people covid is a mild illness. If, however, you get sick enough to need treatment, go seek treatment.

Duh!

But this was the final kicker that also went up on the CDC website:
“For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”
This illuminates what I have been saying for a long time, there’s a big difference between dying WITH COVID and dying FROM COVID.
94% of people are dying with covid, per the CDC, not because of it. In fact, not only are people dying with it, they are dying with covid and an average of 2.6 additional conditions or causes of death.
This would mean roughly 10,000 deaths are directly attributable to covid alone.
Because right now if you have terminal lung cancer, kidney and liver failure and covid, you are counted as a covid death.

But listen up. Turn on any TV, it doesn’t matter. Try to find the narrative being changed even one little bit. If you do dfind it, let me know. So far, everything I hear and see is the same old thing, and if it changes at all, it’s to pile more fear and panic upon the already existing contrived fear and panic that has been propped up and promoted by the media, politics (Trump’s White House, too), and the corporate machine.

The real lesson in this is to recognize that freedom, liberty, self-direction, self-determination, and independence are now the mere hollow echos of once-great ideas that built the first nation ever formed by philosophy rather than conquest—and that now, is exposed as the thinnest paper-facade you could not even imagine.

It was all trashed on a global scope within a matter of days.

This can only mean one thing: these ideas were supplanted—as many conservative intellectuals argued—many decades ago and since then, everyone has been engaged in lip-service and make-believe.

That is all. I don’t even have the energy to rant about it. I’m just resigned to my rather misanthropic existence.

Radical Life: The Story From Deep In Rural Thailand

Sat, 29 Aug 2020 02:11:53 GMT

I Built a House in 2 1/2 Months

I’m now officially a permanent resident of Thailand, visa and all

Why? Here’s a recent comment on another post that provides an overview of my thinking. Essentially, one thing led to another.

Hey Bret,
Your last part reminded me of myself. I was all gung ho on this digital nomad thing, travelling the world in perpetuity in a 60L backpack. Well, Covid squashed that, so I end up here in rural Thailand, just finishing up building a house…well, taking it from about 400 sf (2 bedrooms and a bathroom) to about 1,400 sf, 4 BR, 2 bath, sitting room, huge kitchen. For the GF, her mom, 2 daughters 11 and 10; her sis, hubby, and 5 yo boy.
And I’m having the time of my life playing dad / uncle.
See the photo in m reply to Resurgent, above. That’s our bedroom and my workspace.
So this is my backup plan.

The snake is a white-lipped pit viper, photo taken right across the road. The other one was a baby (10″ or so) monocled cobra, right outside the back door from the kitchen.

I haven’t posted on this blog about Thailand life since here only 8 weeks, now 6 1/2 months: MY 8 WEEKS IN THAILAND #2 — THE MORALIZING OUTRAGE, March 15, and a day before my visa expired, just as the Covid scamdemic pandecon was gaining speed. What follows are the main events of a quite remarkable lemons-to-lemonade story, shotgun-bullet style:

Had a flight to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) booked for the next day, March 15; cancelled
Scramble and book a flight to Hanoi instead, as I didn’t want to overstay my Visa; then can’t check-in because my Vietnam visa specifies HCM as point of entry.
Go to Thai immigration next day requesting 90-days because CovidFraud; they laugh at me and give me 7 days, for 1,900 baht ($60).
Rent a car, drive the 5 hours from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai; into Myanmar and back: 1-day “visa run,” as it’s called; 1 hour before I arrive, Myanmar stops 1-day border entry permits, formal visa only.
I jump on my phone, find the Myanmar immigration site, and there’s an expedited e-visa, 24-hour turnaround guaranteed, for $45; Takes 20-min to complete it, visa in email 1h 30m later, print shop, and go (threw both Thai and Burmese border peeps for a loop—that I could circumvent so quickly…they laughed out loud); so Thai visa reset, 30 more days, extendable for another 30 (this circumvention of Myanmar’s intention was shut down the next day).
The next day or so, Thailand starts the serious shutdown bullshit; all bars & restaurants closed except food takeout and it’s depressing, so I book a gitty-up-go flight direct to Koh Samui and snag a room at ARK bar Beach Resort; fabulous place, but also winding down and by the time I left back to Chiang Mai 8 days later, mine was one of two rooms still occupied in the 600-room complex.

Then I rent a nice apartment in Chiang Mai, Swiss-design and modern, about $300 per month; the insanity persists and deepens, like 10pm to 4am curfew, alcohol prohibition everywhere, etc. I kept part of my sanity by maintaining a middle-finger to the Mao Uniform (face mask)—fuck off with that subjugating, humiliating, virtue-signalling bullshit (Video: Covid-19 and Masks: An Awful Rant—removed by YouTube, now on Bitchute); plus, the apartment with excellent fiber internet and my Roku stick helped with sanity maintenance.

I got stuff so I could do cooking catharsis, and did some entertaining as well; the French expat bar-resto 100 feet from my front door helped; brushed up on French by using it every day, a first since departing the country in 1992 where I had lived and worked; alcohol prohibition meant coffee cups (German coffee=beer; French coffee=red wine; Irish coffee=Irish coffee—without coffee or whipped cream).

I bought an amazingly cool retro-style motorbike, early 70s Triumph-soul—but: 1-down, 5-up; 2017 model year, 200cc, 15k KM, $850 cash; GPX Racing — Legend—but mine is way cooler than the new ones.

Yui has a fully automatic Filano by Yamaha. So I ask: “can you drive a clutch & gears?” “RICHARD, I country girl; we drive anything.” And sure enough…

The CovidCrap droned on, making my focussed misanthropy more blurry by the day. See my posts on CovidInsantity, learn how I once again called it right from the outset, against the prevailing Idiocracy. Just scroll down the homepage of the blog, back to the April timeframe.
Finally a glimmer of hope & change: though you still couldn’t fly, take a bus, or a train, there was word that travel between the 70 provinces by car had been greatly loosened.
Digression: I met Warunee (“Yui”) my second day in Thailand and though I quite played the field for an initial couple of months, there was just something about her complete non-lovey-dovey and a-bit-aloof demeanor that kept me coming back for more “abuse;” but really, she was married on her 16th birthday, and had her two daughters—Chili and Wasabi—before she was 18; her ex (whom I’ve met) was 17 years her senior; at her 27, I’m 32 years senior and she would chew up and spit out any male under 40 and giggle about it; It’s all I can do to remain calm, collected, and stoic.

Never show teeth, don’t smile, never fucking tilt your head like a chick

Perhaps this is the best place to insert something about the exclusively male, projecting wankers who try like hell to get a comment through on my Thai-life blog posts—to no avail, as I’m smarter than their bed-wetting asses; none know full-context at all—just that I spent a few months chasing a variety of young Thai chicks initially and have remained relatively quiet for months here on the blog, there being more important things to do. Gaslighting charges of my debauchery varry, from insane to pedophile; the latter is LOL: every young, under-30 Thai chick I’ve been with is a mother; so, it’s these commenters who are wanking off to images and imaginations of children, projecting their own sociopathy.

I simply ask myself why any actual man would spend a second trying to make me somehow feel as miserable, ineffective, impotent, socially poor, and financially poor as it is. Huh? What you have beneath the facade is a wank-sock masturbator with gamer-like fantasies who can’t deal with its own jealous envy…because it’s a poor-ass wanker living in its own self-made lazy-place of squalor.
Back to the prescient: Yui had not seen Chili, Wasabi, her mom, or any family (her house is between the houses of two uncles—a family plot of land her late grandmother bought long ago, now divided up) in three months and I duly noted the anguish in the every-7:00am “GOOD MORNING!!!” video chat between her and daughters; I simply came to gather and make obvious conclusions about her: she’s in complete love with her kids and family; as with everything, I turned out to be right.

Reunited. The house-addition is just about a week in.

I rented a car and hired a professional Thai tour-guide driver for the 1,000 kilometer trip; we were to cross about 11 Thai provincial boundaries and no way was I going to be at the wheel for that in light of CovidHysteria. As it turned out, only 3 border checkpoints were manned and each one waved us through without even stopping.

Western folk tend to have Deer-Crossing signs. So sorry. You have to move to Thailand for Elephant-Crossing signs.

No, I was not culture shocked or otherwise shocked; Yui predicted that I’d hate it but she was wrong (27 years old, I reiterate).

She really had no knowledge that I grew up with much of the same sorts of simple things…the assumption of my ignorance results in a degree of hubris because she and villagers naturally assumed that even though I have lots more money than they, I don’t know shit about the country—the down and dirty rural village country; I dealt with that like any Richard Nikoley would: I laughed at them and demonstrated that I know what I’m talking about, even with their ways, such as construction methods; I built respect but it was hard and I had to shake off lots of derisive stuff that would have caused me to bite heads off, in America.
I only had to bite off her head a couple of times, in front of family and the workers in my pay: assertive, calm, not raised voice: “you do not get to talk to Richard Nikoley like that, ever.”
Later, Yui: “Why you have to show your power;” Me: “because you’ll eat me alive if I don’t.”

It was to be a few weeks trial. Once I had met the kids, ‘maaa’, villagers, the feral dogs, etc., I was hooked and I decided to finish their pathetic house her Brazilian 40-something BF of three years “built.” Yep, not only is she an “old man” aficionado, but she knows farang. She spent 9 months in Brazil over three trips. Hated it, but probably still loves philandering-Daniel, though. There’s even a dog named after him, here.

A text about the dogs, out to my ex-wife, steward of our dogs.

Let me tell you about dogs here. Some are kinda like people’s dogs, but not really. In this part of the village, there are about 6 or so roaming dogs. 2 females: American and Dum (‘dum’ is Thai for black, ’cause she’s a bit black color). The rest are males. No dogs are fixed, no dog has ever seen a vet. No dog has shots, anything.
After I got here, I asked Yui, “does anyone feed the dogs, or just what they can find?” “Just what they can find.” They eat a lot of pork and chicken bones, they scrounge the trash piles. Yet, they all look lean, muscular, in pristine health. I have never seen a dog formally fed. Not once.
Dum is in heat, all swollen. Obvious. The Thais either don’t care or are oblivious. The four males fight many times per day, narrowing it down. Now, only two out of 4 remain in pursuit. “Daniel” got into it big time. This morning, he had a lame back leg. Then, later, blood all over his head from multiple puncture wounds and an ear a bit mangled. He was laying around, lethargic.
I had half an idea to offer to take him to a vet and I’d pay for it. I didn’t, for fear of being laughed at. “What’s a veterinarian?”
Low and behold, an hour larter, he’s skipping around on all four, oblivious, and following Dum everywhere, along with another male. They are relentless.
I doubt a Thai person in any rural area like this has ever spent a single baht on a dog, yet they seem so healthy and natural. Free roaming, but they stick around, I guess because they figure it’s the best deal they can get.
None are the slightest bit aggressive to people, even the young children.
So, conclusion is that i like it better. Dogs as dogs.

I’ll add: there are a few dozen free-roaming annoying-as-fuck chickens here (partly why we built a perimeter wall), even newly hatched chicklets. These starving dogs do not touch them, ever. Shoo, growl, or snap them away, is all. Neither are the chickens afraid of the dogs, though they keep a ‘social distance,’ being every bit as smart as CovidSentinals.

Oh how the ignorant and unwashed live, eh? I’ll tell you another thing: I have never seen a pile of dogshit, ever not in 3 months: No. Where. I got curious enough to ask. “Oh, they go across the street in the forest.” There are no leashes here.

Neither are leashes or helicopters so, for the dozens of village children who are just as free-roaming. In times where there’s no school, they’re off and about with the other village children, doing kid stuff. They amuse themselves with piles of rock and sand, substrates for the concrete the house is made of. Oh, speaking of school.

First day back in school since the CovidParanoia. Fom the left, 11yo Chili, 10yo Wasabi, and 5yo Ninja—all in proper uniform.

And just like that, I love this country if for nothing else, children (and women) are kept in their place, helping to prevent them becoming petulant child assholes with their social games via clothing, devices, status, and all that; teach them at school….which, btw, is a 500-meter walk down the village lane, same place maaa Yui and her sister, Noon (pictured, maaa of Ninja), walked to school.

Dear sweet Wasabi. It costs poor Thai villagers a good portion of a month’s wages to outfit their children with all the required uniforms and yes, the teachers are in uniform as well.

Please do tell me again how the Wage Slaves of the West are so much better off, with most of their children being those they would otherwise want to murder, except for that single fact….

And, you incel MGTOWs, please tell me again what a sucker I am, while you hide behind a facade of faux masculinity where when stripped away, you’re really nothing but a humanoid with male genitals who shirks any vestige of responsibility. A man creates responsibility in such a way that a man cannot escape it…he seals his own fate. Children are the root of that; employees, another. Men do not abandon children or employees once responsibility is taken up. Man up, or “stop the Yak Yak,” as 27yo Yui says.

Beyond the financial support that makes things stable for the kids, it has been my solemn duty to teach them what I know. Preeminent in that is not only English, but proper and well-pronounced English. Generally, you have to catch a child before 7yo to get perfect pronunciation, So, this plays out interestingly.

Initially, I loaded the three usual suspects with Hooked on Phonics. No interest. So, I simply talk my head off with them. I don’t let them go get a translation from Maaa Yui.

“No, we’re going to figure this out.”

11yo Chili pops in, asking, “Richard, I need [something that sounded like “cream”] but she was twisting her hand as though turning a screw. “Let’s figure this out.” So I start quizzing her, she gets flustered, and calls out, “maaa Yui!?” “No, let’s figure this out.” I open a clothing cabinet door, point to a screw, do the same twisting motion. No joy.

But I sense she needs a tool, so I introduce the general concept, an invaluable and essential one. “You need a TOOL!” Then I keep saying tool, tool, tool and I make her pronounce it correctly. “No, not ‘too,’ “TO-WELL; now fast: tewel.” Now that’s established, I point to my tool box and she lights up. I take it down, and she picks the NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS and I make her say it over and over, then go into the sitting room where family is visiting to tell them what she got.

5yo Ninja is quite a different study. He hasn’t spoken but for one single word of English; but magically, he seems to understand everything I say by his actions. I tell Chili and Wasabi that he’s is going to leapfrog them both. Just the other day, everyone is at the afternoon market for food to cook for dinner (how it rolls, here, every day, 365). Only Ninja is here, it’s dusk and he’s out on the patio fiddling with something. I ask, just as I would to any American: “want me to turn on the light?” “YES!” he replies enthusiastically. Within months, he’ll be teaching his older cousins English.

…You’re curious about the house build and what it cost, I can tell. I’ll cover it.

How it turned out. Lower left bath, BR, and BR is what I started with. Not to scale.

I tried like hell to get Yui to go with something different. To the left is my original idea but to the right, I was trying to introduce the concept of Great Room with living and kitchen all in one. No joy. Not even close. Even though I was paying the bill, her way. Her dream. Now, you can be sore about that or, understand something.

Why did I do this? As I’ve told Yui: I didn’t do it so much for you; I did it for your mom and your daughters. It’s for real and it’s permanent. Folks seem to want to warn me: BEWARE THE THAI GIRL, YOU’RE JUST AN ATM.

And I laugh: Oh, you mean they’re honest about it?

I spent about $30,000 in the space of 10 weeks: about 20 of that on materials, 5 on labor, 5 on furnishings and amenities like audio-visual. Yes, I was my own contractor here in rural Thailand where the ubiquitous building skills (principally: masonry, concrete, roofing, and plumbing) fucking wowed me to such an extent my goal is to start a construction company here, because I can manage it, account for costs, and make a profit—impossible where I was born in the euphemistic Land of the Free. I went and bought materials directly and ferried them back or paid for delivery to site. I paid 3-4 highly skilled workers 150 baht per day above village scale of 350 baht ($11). I paid them 500 baht ($16) per day, seven days per week, solid 10 hours or more.

It’s cash daily. No taxes, no paperwork; and no, no facade of public safety with its veiled payoffs we call permits and inspections. Here, if you need to pay off, you do it directly, cash too. No euphemisms. Zero granting me permission to start this on day one and finish in 10 week’s time. But do tell me about your high American wages where you still can’t even keep up, as everything is being priced out of your markets all the time.

But what do I know about any of this, even though I was born in the biggest euphemistic joke in all world history: Land of the Free.

And metaphor is all you have left. And that’s a sad thing.

The build complete, the “house warming party” ensued. They call it something more akin to a blessing ceremony and the lucky number 9 prevails. For example, 9 monks from the local temple, close enough I can hear their morning prayer-chants in the distance from 4am onward, as ubiquitous and sure as your confidence that the sun will rise. I refer to it as a meaningful privilege but that doesn’t capture the feeling and why it motivates me to be up and about by 5am every morning, often earlier.

The day prior to the “party,” I asked Yui, “when does it start?” “They start cooking at 3.” Ha, little did I know. 5am next morning, lights come on, “it’s starting!” She means it’s going to start. Sort of like when my motorcycle arrived at the post office in Khukhan from Chiang Mail, 1,000 km away (yes, you can “mail” a motorcycle in Thailand, costs about $120), she gets a phone call: “motorcycle is coming.” They’re not big on tense.

“But you said 3?”

“Yes, they start cooking at 3,” meaning they started two hours ago, at 3am. Turns out the monks eat at 6:30 and 12:30, then they’re done with caloric intake for the day. Is that why they’re all lean, fit, and long lived?

All that being finished left a hole. Now what? I’ve got an air-conditioned house (4 separate units), smokin’ internet, TVs, Netflix that doesn’t buffer even it’s streaming to 3 TVs at once, free on-air satellite, a nice work space—and to my deep despair, a karaoke machine. Oh, God-Buddha, what mischief have I wrought?

I’d just completed my visa. I decided I need to “work.” You’re generally prohibited from working in Thailand, but there are things you can do, like own a business that employs Thai people, loan money, etc.

I financed all the start-up costs for a small restaurant in Lalom, now owned by Yui’s younger sister Nun (“Noon”).

Nun quit her job working in a cosmetics shop in Surin, her and husband moved here to occupy one of the four bedrooms, and within days of opening, is at a monthly run-rate of 30,000 baht net profit per month (after COGS and overhead). How much in dollars or Euros? Who cares? That’s arbitrary. The average wage for a Thai is 10,000 – 15,000 baht per month, she was making 15, now making double that, in her own business. I did not take equity. It’s a loan (a very high-priced loan).

Now we’re working on a business for Yui, a woman’s fashion shop. Same deal. No equity. A start-up loan (expensive).

The aim here was clear and simple.

Take them from the squalor the Brazilian built to the nicest house in the village, thereby changing mindset from poor to middle-class with head held high. Consequently, you pick up after yourself, dispose of trash off the property, stay on top of laundry, wash the dishes before you have to because there’s no clean ones, and wash surfaces such as to reduce the ubiquity of ants and flying insects.
Start micro businesses so as to become self-sufficient and not dependent on me should something happen or I decide to move on.
Above all, this was never about creating or fostering dependency, or, pay for play. This would all be an embarrassing failure if they cannot be self-sufficient. That is the true, overencompasing value I’m providing. Money is fleeting. The ability to generate it is lasting and permanent. No exceptions.

That is all quickly coming to fruition, along with a gradual ability to operate in the English language, invaluable for the children and their future job or business prospects and opportunities.

As for me.

I have another business in Thailand I’ve invested $5,000 capital in, so far. This is a capital investment, not a loan. Details are private, for the time being but it’s paying off very nicely and I’m looking to greatly expand that investment over time, should its initial success prove consistent.
I’m energetically ramping up my online activities. This blog, producing videos, and building a pledge presence on Patreon, mirrored on SubscribeStar.
I’m producing short videos for both the subscribe site and open-access on the blog almost daily.
I’m up by 5:30am at the latest, every day, 7 times per week. I’m generally working until 8-9pm on projects to be rolled out on the subscribe site and open-access on the blog.
I eat food from 10am until 2pm, then hard stop until the next day. Consequently, I’ve dropped 9 kilo (20 pounds) and counting.
I eliminated alcohol from my life in favor of better things to do. I’ve tried life with alcohol and now, without, for the first time in 40 years. I prefer the later. Incidentally: this was, surprisingly, the easiest thing I did of all all of the foregoing. I guess I’d had enough. 40 years of boozing, and I came out the other end still healthy, still looking younger than my 59 1/2 years.

So, this constitutes The Big Overview. There are a million sub-stories to tell, in-depth, over time, while I make other stories, especially with the kids.

Oh, what a fountain of youth I’ve discovered. No excuses responsibility for children. Highly recommended, especially for an “old man” (as Yui calls me).

I gotta run or, more accurately, walk the kids to the village school—maybe 400-500 meters down the road. Because of the CovidHysteria that infected Thailand, too, they’re doing school on Saturday to catch up. I offer a juxtaposition.

The kids and moms here in Ban Laem Thong for the mother’s day honoring a couple of weeks ago, contrasted with the caged-animal fashions in Bangkok schools

I guess these rural country kids and their mothers just aren’t as informed, smart, and sophisticated as are all the urban-center “Karen” and “Ken” lemmings, regurgitating and mimicking all the narratives, slogans, bromides, and memes in the service of the general media, corporate, and state propaganda machine.

Later, bye, over, and out.

The Children Of The YouTube Delete My Video, Lie About It

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 10:09:55 GMT

— They’re not ideological; It’s about money, power, and control like it always is

A principal aspect of children maturing into adults is the lessons they’re freely allowed to experience that tend to be far different or opposite from what their child-proto-minds sought. This stems from the fact that as soon as they begin to speak in whole thoughts, in sentences, they begin as consummate liars and deceivers. All of them. The skill of human persuasion is a long way off.

A typical example is tattle-taling with feigned hurt, whining, and tears. Because you shower them with love and attention so much, surely any perceived hurt on your part will result in a extra shower of reward for their benefit.

It doesn’t always work out that way—at least it didn’t for those of you old enough to remember the proper response from parents, adults, teachers, and society.

“Where’s the blood?”

“Stop your tattling.”

“Do you want something to cry about?”

Oops!

For some, the lessons are never learned—probably because of awful parents—and they become sociopathic liars; and if skilled enough, they figure out how to integrate those lies into what’s called propaganda.

While this blog has been going since 2003 and has 5,000 posts, I didn’t start putting up the occasional video until 2006, 14 years ago, and have only done so 130 times.

Some creators beat that 14-year record in the first hour of publishing. I published a ranty video yesterday about CovidCon and MaskHysteria. Here’s the offending video, on my new Bitchute channel.

Not two hours after publishing to YouTube, I get an email.

Hi Richard Nikoley,
Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our Community Guidelines. We’ve removed the following content from YouTube:
Video: Covid-19 and Masks: An Awful Rant
We know that this might be disappointing, but it’s important to us that YouTube is a safe place for all. If content breaks our rules, we remove it. If you think we’ve made a mistake, you can appeal and we’ll take another look. Keep reading for more details.
How your content violated the policy
YouTube does not allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19, including on methods to prevent, treat, or diagnose COVID-19 and means of transmission of COVID-19. Learn more here.
How this affects your channel
Because it’s the first time, this is just a warning. If it happens again, your channel will get a strike and you won’t be able to do things like upload, post, or live stream for 1 week.
[and ‘blablabla’ about how I can do better.]

So, this is all a complete lie. There is no “our team,” unless we’re now calling banks of computer servers on racks in isolated, air-conditioned spaces running garbage-in-garbage-out algorithms: “team members.” Accordingly, when they say “we think,” that’s a lie to reinforce the first lie, which purports to give the distinct impression that a team of thoughtful people of good will have deliberated over my little video. That is simply a lie and arguing otherwise is either delusional, or lying in itself as a white knight apologist.

“If content breaks our rules, we remove it.” That’s another lie. You can find all sorts of videos easily that violate their “lofty and virtuous” so-called community guidelines, but it’s from the right group, color, race, weirdo fringe, or political persuasion of people. So thumbs up and high-five.

As of 2019, 30,000 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube per hour. Do the math. I uploaded 22 minutes, and in the next 2 hours, 60,000 hours got uploaded in the time their “team” carefully deliberated my little insignificant, 0.0000061^th slice of that, a slice that will get a few hundred views at best, which is my average. Moreover, not only am I not a big, well-know, famous/infamous, popular channel, I’m not flagged. That is, I have never had a single communication, complaint, or warning from YouTube or a viewer, ever, in 14 years!

But, this is not ideological!

It is leftist, but the left is not ideological—never has been. Conservative (true ones—not Republican Blue Bloods) are very much ideological. They believe in God, country, individual autonomy, children, child rearing, self-sufficiency, self-responsibility, rational civil service (to God, church, country, commons, community, family). Essentially, this is why MAGA so resonates—because it subsumes and tightly integrates all of that, and more.

The term America itself is ideological; it’s spiritual. The left hates this, which is why, in their recent clown-car circus display, euphemistically called a convention, they spent four whole days dissing America with propagandized (integrated) lies, slogans, and bromides.

And it’s a humiliating offense—a display of the worst dregs a corrupt and decaying civil society can produce, strutting around in their Emperor’s New Clothes, claiming virtue with the bestowed status that goes along with it.

This is not ideology. This is money, power, control, and often enough, getting laid; or, if fortune will have it, granting sexual services on the come to exactly the right people in succession.

“YouTube does not allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19, including on methods to prevent, treat, or diagnose COVID-19 and means of transmission of COVID-19.“

With that, in itself, YouTube exposes itself as the most pathetic sort of lackey that could possibly be imagined to exist. YouTube: you are bought, paid for, discounted like a cheap stock, and cashed in.

There is no true reason for you to exist but to be a publisher of approved propaganda, all lurking amongst an endless array of cutesy videos, and behind a facade of caring, virtue, and righteousness.

And it’s all bullshit.

You’re a bunch of cheap liars populated by a cadre of floozies, hussies, Karens, and Kens—all of you pretending to be something you’re not: principled ideologues who care beyond your quarterly earnings report. Nope. When the elite, the big ad-spenders, the DNC, and the political lobbyists call, you take the call. You listen carefully. You’re their lackey.

Then you go to work integrating the lies you need to tell into propaganda that fools both the left and the right, for opposite reasons, keeping them at each other instead of identifying and focussing on the truly guilty, which is you.

So your biggest lie of all is the pretense that you are indeed ideological; that you operate from love of truth, ideas, and solemn principles. Even the ideological conservatives believe this, because they see things in terms of battles: good and evil. Surely, all your dumb sycophants on the left believe this too, sub-lackeys they are, down to their last soy latte, applauding every action to curtail the opposing ideology, which aligns perfectly with your game plan.

Emasculated liars are easy to control for fun and profit. They don’t even feel humiliated, quite to the contrary. They feel virtuous, of high standing and value.

…This morning, I decided to take YouTube up on their offer to allow an appeal and review. I submitted it about 9am, saying that 1) I doubt they have people qualified to judge true, false, or misleading medical information, and 2) I stated nothing contradictory. Everything was factual in terms of numbers and the rest was my opinion concerning policy.

It took 37 minutes for them to gather “The YouTube Team” together, conduct “further review” of 22 minutes of video amongst the 1,116,000 minutes being uploaded concurrently, discuss it, come to a team “determin[ation],” and issue a team judgment via email.

Wow, what efficiency. Or, they lied again.

Why does YouTube lie like that?

OK, here’s the accompanying video where I discuss the foregoing in unscripted, free form with any diversions, asides, and rabbit holes that may have ensued.

Video: Covid-19 Con and Masks — An Awful Rant

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 10:25:42 GMT

I’ve blogged about CovidCon enough. Here’s just some notes to accompany the awful video rant. It’s not for the washed. No fainting couches supplied. Watch and listen at your own risk.

If you like it, great. Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more, from time to time. If you don’t like it, that’s your prerogative, but nothing you could say about that would make me give a shit what you think. You’re likely an OK person, but just as likely, suffer from certain beliefs in particular things that simply aren’t true. So you lie to yourself and spend a great deal of time and energy reinforcing the lies, such they become what’s called “your truth,” so that you can speak Your Truth, and so that everyone can be treated to Your Truth!!!

And, I’d agree with you if you were right.

CovidCon, Plandemic, Covid-1984, take your pick. I call it Impeachment 3.0. Trump will survive this one, too.

There are two principal issues with masks:

Do they work?
It doesn’t fucking matter

It’s just a manifestation of original sin.

Two thoughts I posted on Social Media earlier.

Teaser: Short & Simple: My "Magical” Fat and Weight Loss (with bonus video)

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 13:27:00 GMT

New pledge-post for Patreon and SubscribeStar, with a bonus, 20-minute video covering the idea of Changing Your Environment, a prescient topic in these days of war-zone cities run by miscreants.

American Expat in Thailand 2: Pleasure and Reward

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 06:58:57 GMT

Yea, ridiculous screen shot, but the marginally least bad of three. Jesus, YouTube. “That’s The Best We Can Do, Folks.”

DESCRIPTION

Life should be pleasurable, but is “reward” the right way to think about that?

[Note to Pledge Peeps on Patreon and SubscribeStar: These initial videos are introductory, which is why they’re public-access for now. I’m giving a free trial period. Soon, and without notice, they will be patron early-access, until such uncertain time in the future they become open access on FreeTheAnimal.com.]

American Expat in Thailand: Direction, Action, and Projects

In January, 2020, I sold everything and hopped on a plane for Thailand. Just as I was leaving for another country, Corona caught me, and I end up staying, now a permanent resident.

Now I’m on the prowl, so find out what that’s all about.

I Create Memes That Make Most People Feel Ignorant

Sat, 22 Aug 2020 05:59:47 GMT

I wake up with ideas in my head. I’m usually up between 5-6 a.m. banging on the keyboard in the semi-dark as she still sleeps.

Alcohol abstention is having quite the effect. I’m easily past the point of no return. I’ve tried life with alcohol and without and hand-down prefer the latter. It’s so easy to come up with better things to do, since almost anything is something that’s better to do. Those and many stories…for another time…on Patreon, SubscribeStar, and eventually, open-access here. Below—after my Black and White—I’ll outline a bit of what’s in store on all fronts. Don’t miss that part.

This one, above, was actually from an Ausie expat, in Thailand for the last 30 years

The last four are what I’ve settled on for my “Meming Brand.” It’s Black & White.

I’ll generally put up at east a couple in the morning, Thailand time (early evening east coast and late afternoon west, USA). They are posed identically and simultaneously on

Interestingly, I’m heavily shadow-banned on both Facebook and Twitter. How do I know? Well beyond many telling me they NEVER see my posts unless they specifically go to my post profile, I have only 800 followers on Pinterest, have never engaged there or done anything to promote it, and I have about 120,000 views monthly, dwarfing the others combined.

THE GRAND PLAN

I have three basic gigs on the burner, to be run simultaneously.

A series for Patreon and SubscribeStar about Donald Trump The Cat — The nine lives of a winner and why he’ll win again…or something like that. This will wrap up prior to the election, so my conclusion is tested. Probably 12 posts or so. It will publish here, open access, beginning after the election.
An ongoing series of stories, photo logs, food pics, etc., about life and lessons here in rural Thailand and how life evolved such that I’m here. Right now, I’m drafting a post about a small streetside open-air restaurant I funded in full, an how it’s going. These posts will be on the pledge support sites and will eventually publish here with no advance notice (you’ll never know).
An open-access series here at FTA of 20-25 posts covering Alex Leaf’s Fat Loss Blueprint. It’s high time that I devote some time, once again, to fat loss, health, strength, and longevity now that I’ve gone a good way towards cleaning up my own life through radical changes. All you’ll have to do is sell everything and move half-way across the world. [Just kidding]

OK, that’s about all.

100 years ago, American males got cucked and it has been a disaster ever since. It’s now manifest fully, in abject destruction of global civilization.

The human female is not a builder of civilizations. Women are tamers of men who, in-turn, erect measures of safety and security by means of civilization.

That’s about all—whether you like it, or not.

Teaser: WHERE HAVE ALL THE SALTY EXPATS GONE?

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 01:23:18 GMT

First new post of many to come on my early-and-immediate access subscription services:

You’ll find the substantial background concerning this initiative here: PATREON REBOOT + SUBSCRIBESTAR. Plus, a bit more background here and here.

You’re welcome to wait until it’s published in full, here on Free The Animal, no hard feelings at all; or, you can sign up for immediate access to all content (podcasts, videos, video conferences coming very soon) the second it’s published. No guesswork, because you’ll never know exactly when it will be published here. In general, I will subjectively choose when, with each subscriber immediate-access post, so they will tend to be out of order chronologically, except for series posts.

Nothing will show up here less than 2 weeks from publishing on the subscription sites, or more than 3 months.
