Maggie's FarmWe 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. |

The reparations are the tip of the iceberg. At this point the entire Democrat party is a crime family and they are looting the Americans wealth. Part of that effort involves importing millions of replacement voters and workers. All of these newly imported replacement voters will need welfare and free stuff at your expense. The L.A. DA Gascon has declared that no prosecutions will happen for illegals who commit crimes that could result in their deportation. Citizens however will continue to suffer without any relief. To make sure that the Democrats can continue the looting and grifting elections will never again be fair and honest. Enjoy what you hjave allowed to happen.

Remember Pearl Harbor today, honor the WW II veterans who fought and died for our freedom. I was born in 1943 and most of my uncles fought in WW II, my father was too old and had three kids but he did work in the Navy Yard during the war. It was a common discussion at home and get to gathers that our country screwed up prior to Dec 7, 1941 in a way that allowed and even encouraged Japan to attack. Our military was at a low ebb, underfunded, under supported. Our leaders were distracted and out of touch with what was going on in the world. In fact it was a common belief back then that Roosevelt knew of the attack ahead of time and allowed it so that he could use the attack to enter WW II.
Now compare that with our current situation; our military is decimated and morale is low, all by intent. Our administration is incompetent and asleep at the wheel. The world is on fire everywhere and our focus is on "Getting Trump". We are in deep shit folks. We are being invaded, being replaced, being set up for failure. re Streetlights in a bunch of major cities are turning purple. Is it just a fluke?
Some of the street lights along I-80 in Lincoln, Nebraska are purple. I wondered WTF was going on. I can only describe the light as similar to a black light. Illumination of the highway is minimal and some may argue that they are better off without them. They need to be junked out ASAP and the old lights should be reinstalled. They are a hazard and a step back in safety. OTOH, I guess less safe streets are a small price to pay for saving the planet. re New York Democrats Push for Reparations
If California and New York want reparations, I would predict they are coming sooner or later. Just like gay marriage or the $15 minimum wage, they will eventually impose their will on the rest of us. I hope i am wrong. Climate Lockdown Begins in UK
QUOTE: On Nov. 29 Oxfordshire County Council Cabinet voted in favour of traffic filters, which are strict rules on how often motorists can drive and where they can go in the town centre. The administration says this is to “achieve a sustainable transport system” by stopping most motorists from driving through Oxford’s centre, which divides the city into six “15-minute” neighbourhoods. . . . The 15 Minute City is a UN and WEF plan, because they care about you want you to drive less. https://moonbattery.com/climate-lockdown-begins-in-uk/ If you watch boxing sometimes a match ends suddenly with a knockout. But other times there is a punch or series of punches thrown that seems to take all the fight out of a boxer and dooms the fight for him. The fight may even go the full 12 rounds but those punches early in the match effectively ended the fight. Typically after the fight all of this is obvious and it is also clear that the boxer that was hit lost all awareness of what is going on. That is what happened to the U.S. probably in 2008. Obama wasn't fairly elected and once elected he put into motion the undoing of our constitutional republic. Trump was a temporary and unexpected speed bump but the Dems quickly upped the ante and perfected election fraud so that would never happen again. What we are witnessing now is a wrap up of the end of America. The one-two punch we got when Obama first stole his way into office and then appointed anti-American forces to critical positions in government was as bad as a knockout. We aren't going to recover. America as you knew it no longer exists but you are still in a fog from those punches and don't realize it yet.
I like to hike and have done so for years in National Parks and other sites for decades. When I hike I carry water so I can stay hydrated. I also carry a water filter in case I need more water for some reason. To make ground water safe is no simple thing but thanks to high tech water filters today are cheap and effective. My water filter of choice will filter out anything larger than 0,1 micron. And even at that highly effective filter rate it doesn't filter out all or most viruses. Fortunately virus is not typically a problem in wilderness surface water.
But for the filter to work it must assure that 100% of the water passes through the filter. No leakage or spillage allowed. Every drop must pass through the filter. Seems obvious, right? Now compare that with a mask. When you exhale with a mask on 90% or more of your breath bypasses the mask and goes out the side. The small amount that actually passes through the mask isn't "filtered" because the pore size of the mask is huge compared to the size of the virus and bacteria. The mask is 100% useless. If my water filter worked as effectively as the face mask does I would be dead somewhere on a trail in Yellowstone. The scientists know this and are lying to you. Climate Change Professionals Now Provide Goals and Individual Allowances for Transportation, Food, and Clothing
QUOTE: For many years the carbon allowances for individuals were esoteric goals as presented by those who assemble at various global COP meetings, Davos and the World Economic Forum. However, with rapid advances in the energy control process, a result of the pandemic and Build Back Better exit, the control officers are now quantifying the specifics for the individual citizen. The "ambitious target" for the year 2030 is for ZERO meat and dairy consumption, THREE new clothing items per YEAR, ZERO private vehicles, and you will be allowed one flight of 1500 kilometers every three years. Obviously they aren't going to achieve those goals by 2030, but it clearly illustrates what our ruling masters hope to impose on us. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/12/05/no-joke-climate-change-professionals-now-provide-goals-and-individual-allowances-for-transportation-food-and-clothing/ It's all there. Government funded narratives that are delivered by government funded prostitutes and enforced by government funded brownshirts. Has it ever been any different in history?

Thanks for the tip on the purple lights.
A small local town that is expanding rapidly has several plus and it looks like part of the Christmas decorations. The local park and many homes in the egalitarian people's subdivision sectors have the holiday lights up. When a good snow comes they will look even better and may help with vision. |
