Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

"Chicago Mother Loses Custody of Her Daughter—For Insisting That Her Daughter Is A Girl" It makes me sick what today's society has done to our children and families. The so called medical specialists and physiologists are more messed up than their clients. Custody battles can be brutal and I have known men that were accused of sexually abusing their children so the mother could gain complete custody. The children suffer so much.

Social scientists, particularly psychotherapists are the new shamen, high priests of a demonic irrational cult adding gasoline to the blazing inferno the left is igniting in America.

"[H]igh priests of a demonic irrational cult adding gasoline to the blazing inferno the left is igniting in America."

Then they're bound to fail.

Look how much gasoline costs these days.

That whole thing sounds like a divorce gone wrong and a meddling psychotherapist new wife that found a way to cut the ex-wife completely out by exploiting the daughter's natural teenaged antipathy to Mom (which is common in teenage girls for a while). Heartbreak all around and not just for the girl and her mother.

Trudeau is fully on-board with the WEF's "Make Them Eat Bugs" agenda.

Ireland is climbing on the famine bandwagon as well.

Which country will be next?

It's global warming hysteria that is behind Trudeau's banning of fertilizers.

The same happened in Sri LAnka, and people are starving now.

The Global Elites really don’t mind if a lot of us are dead.

I agree with you, B. Hammer, and yet it still boggles my feeble mind that ostensibly freely and fairly elected government officials would make a conscious effort to create a food shortage.

I am still dumbstruck by the implementation of the scheme. I see it and can hardly believe it.
#4.1.1 feeblemind on 2022-07-27 11:16 (Reply)
It is clear that Covid didn't kill as many as was planned. So now we go to forced famine. The reckoning with this nonsense is going to be ugly.

We are living in a giant pinball game and if you back up and observe you can see all the flippers operated by the ruling elite.

They bounce you off the AGW flipper onto the Covid flipper and next the Russia, Russia, Russia flipper. Then we race through the Ukraine flipper and back through the Russia, Russia, Russia flipper because that one is also the starvation flipper in Ukraine. After a few dozen iterations they hope we just give up and disappear down the hole.

Embrace resilience and just say NO. Those that are not resilient will likely fall but the rest of us will hang the bastards.

The really anger-inducing idiocy of Justine's move is that Canada is one country the least likely to be too severely impacted by the current and upcoming fertilizer shortages. Canada doesn't have the same sourcing and supply chain issues for the ingredients that EVERY OTHER COUNTRY has, except for maybe China and possibly Russia.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Justine has to make sure that we're all screwed in North America.

If the Canadian farmers try the same protest that the Dutch Farmers are doing, Justine will just do the same thing he did to the truckers' protest.

His party barely won in the last election, but he takes it as some sort of mandate to do his left wing bull***t. (The Conservative party for more votes, but lame**s's part win more seats.)

I guess his philosophy is "Why should the Sri Lankans be the only ones who starve?"

Where does one even begin commenting on the Harris video? I can’t even wrap my mind around this. What a complete waste of time. Is this all they know? Civilization is on hold while we all figure out what our pronouns are, what color our clothes and hair are. These things can change daily and our first priority must be to tell everyone about them. I can’t see this woke business, advancing civilization one bit.

The only comment I have on the Vice-President is stop worrying about silly pronouns and someone's feelings and start acting like a Vice-President. This country is being run by a group of toddlers.

Reading through the comments above, I conclude that Progressive liberal ideology in its current form is a Death Cult.

Latest iteration: 'We must end our reliance on food'

No, Science Isn’t a “Social Construct”
When dealing with the Woke—one assumption (among many) that is an almost sure bet to make about their claims is that some trick of language is being played. What’s needed to expose the vacuity of the Woke position, then, is not necessarily the ability to bring facts to bear on the matter or even to argue better than they can (as they’ll deconstruct your position and leave you looking foolish to anyone slightly sympathetic to their cause). The best thing to do is expose the trick.”

All too true. This is what I do to zachriel. I exposed her tricks re: Russiagate, Global Warming, COVID/Vaccine, etc. It's why she doesn't respond to me anymore, she knows she's a fool and exposed as one.

It's not too hard once you know to look for it.

Agreed. That article by the way comes from a very interesting website, well worth exploring. The mental picture of any of Biden's freak-show appointees debating someone of Dr. Lindsay's intellectual firepower is amusing to contemplate, but we're not likely to see such a spectacle any time soon. The baloney, as Buckley said, avoids the grinder.
