Imagine - They want
you to think that we live amidst ever-increasing scarcity, peak energy,
global warming and a bunch of other fake crises. None of these crises
exist anywhere outside of the human brain that is hallucinating them.

It’s all a crap shoot. One guy on foot who thought he’d go live off the
land in those mountains getting sick of being cold and wet could plant
himself at the treeline 300 metres from my shack and pick me off with a
308 when I stepped out in the morning.

Unnatural enemy -
The government I live under has been my enemy all my active life. When
it has not been engaged in silencing me it has been engaged in robbing
me. So far as I can recall I have never had any contact with it that was
not an outrage on my dignity and an attack on my security.

Shortly after Dykes on Bikes rumble across the starting line of the
Capital Pride parade in Dupont Circle on Saturday, an expected 150,000
spectators should witness something never before seen on an American
city street — a U.S. Armed Forces color guard marching alongside rainbow
flags in a gay pride parade.

Remus says - Pointedly humiliating the armed forces is now a career credit in DC
From the BBC in 1998
- The sun is currently at its most active for 300 years. That, say
scientists in Philadelphia, could be a more significant cause of global
warming than the emissions of greenhouse gases that are most often
blamed. The researchers point out that much of the half-a-degree rise in
global temperature over the last 120 years occurred before 1940 -
earlier than the biggest rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Using ancient
tree rings, they show that 17 out of 19 warm spells in the last 10,000
years coincided with peaks in solar activity.

Remus says -
Climatologists were either wrong in 1998 or wrong now, or wrong both
then and now. Whichever it is, they strongly resemble craven,
bottom-feeding, shape-shifting, alarmist opportunists with an ethics
deficiency approaching unity and a credibility reliant in its entirety
on the memory hole. And "but" nothing, no reasonable self-respecting
person wants to hear any more from them.
DC declares whites are "biographically inelegible" for FAA employment
Thousands of potential FAA
air traffic control trainees, with College Initiative Training degrees
or previous military experience, have been told by the federal agency
they are no longer eligible for job interviews. Instead, the FAA
has decided to accept less qualified applicants, apparently to satisfy
concerns that the agency needs a more diverse workforce, say Ferrugia
and Shelley in this article, FAA changes hiring practices for air traffic controllers ignoring qualified students and vets, at 7 News Denver.
Remus says - They're not "less qualified" applicants, they're unqualified applicants. If there's no point in following the rules, there's no point in having
the rules. Ever-lower performance standards are next. They're always
next. We'll accept incompetent "quota hire" air traffic controllers as
well. Fifty years of Affirmative Action, each outrage more egregious
than the one before. It appears there's no bottom, no limit. Sigh.
Most probably this is beyond orderly retrieval. Perhaps long ago.
There's a catastrophe building, out of sight but we all know it's there.
Every day there are more who would rather mourn it than prevent it.
For those of us who try, every day gives us another reason to just walk
away.
VA hospitals
Former VA surgeon - What is hilarious is, that we all knew, always, and forever, that government-run medical care, as EPITOMIZED by the VA, was the worst in the US. "Never miss a meal for a vet" was the catchphrase. "In the good VA
hospitals, they let you die. In the bad ones, they kill you" was the
constant refrain. All you ignorant idiots out there, who believe that
"government can do it", in medical care are the cause of this. The blood
of the dead is on YOUR hands, for being stupid, lazy, foolish, and not getting RID of these government parasites at every opportunity.

VA nurse

Many union hires are to pad the diversity numbers and a work ethic
is non-existent in 75% of them. Those who were not diversity hires see
the others get away with doing next to nothing and often decide "why
bother?". There are some of us who are grateful to have a good job that
pays a good deal better than the private facilities and do our best, but
we are about 25% of the workforce and we end up doing 75% of the work.
Nurses scarcely want to do the dirty work and those whose job is to
clean the people and the facility often feel that genuine work is for
suckers.

Race and wealth -
Why would race have anything to do with it? Put your mind to what you
want to do and go for that. It’s kind of like religion to me, it’s a
good excuse for not getting there.
