  2.  @kaleidoscope8743  "No, Tony. It's NOT the virus your buddies patented back in 2002 (which was illegal, by the way). It's the virus they created by using your bug as the starting point for gain-of-function research you funded." I might have the dates wrong, but the CDC paid a fine for maintaining total secrecy on their development of the 2002 (2003?) strain that they patented. The patent was awarded (It shouldn't've been.), and 3 days later, Big Pharma applied for a patent for the cure. The patent for the virus: April 25th. The patent for the cure: April 28th. I'm not sure about the year, but I remember day and month. It's impossible to develop a new treatment for something nobody knows about in 3 days. So there's your collusion with Big Pharma. The firm that got the patent was almost immediately rolled into Pfizer. The firm that patented the treatment HAD to be in secret communication with the CDC. There's a LOT of shit going on that nobody's talking about. Fauci's so brazen, because he knows he has all the power elites behind him, covering for him. He is to health care what James Comey is to law enforcement or John Brennan is to intel. Our federal government has gone rogue. Agencies do whatever they please and then cover for each other. The Swamp is real.

  5. In fairness, I was predisposed to dislike the smug bastard, from the minute they shut down work "to flatten the curve." I KNEW it was an overreaction, THEN. And nothing I've seen since suggests they're as serious about COVID as they are about the Great Re-set.

  8. If you're pulling the weight of others and nobody's noticing you or promoting you for doing so, then do your damnedest to find a different place to work. A young person like yourself should look for a BUSINESS to run, so all that energy benefits YOU, instead of propping up a bunch of drones. You can get off the ground just by your own efforts. To grow that business, you have to get really good at finding good workers and rewarding them. That's the hardest part for one-man operations: delegating tasks to others. You've gotta find a way to scale what you're doing, unless you're satisfied just being a self-employed tradesman, which is also a pretty good gig, although you should always be on the lookout for a good apprentice or two.

  9. No, Dr. Drew. If they'd been totally up-front, more people would've chosen to not get these hasty jabs. The lengths to which they went to keep us in the dark on everything, from the unknown long-term risks to all the treatments that are available, they would've had more trust, but probably less compliance! They did everything possible to maximize the number of people taking the experimental jab, even when it's becoming more and more obvious to everyone that its value is very slight, and it comes with risks that are right up there with the risk of COVID itself, when you factor in the total absence of information/data on long-term side-effects and the unwonted "rush to Jab!" I see a lot of people taking the "It's just a problem with the marketing" tack, and it's TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS, and yet ANOTHER dishonest attempt to build trust where none is warranted.

  11. Meanwhile, Apple's slaves in China are refusing to work in their sweatshop. Anything Apple virtue-signals for is not virtue. It's a mask. If I'm in Elon's shoes, I couldn't care less about Apple's faux moral outrage. Apple removing Twitter app from their app store is a good reason to never use their apps or app store, ever again. They want to play power games. It will cost them all their power. This is similar to the USA and EU trying to sanction half the planet. The 'other' half of the planet is being forced to build its own financial system, if it wants to stand up to the fascists in the West. The West is wielding SWIFT and the petro-dollar to coerce nations. Those nations are busy creating and expanding BRICS, so they can stand on their own withOUT the petro-dollar (U.S. dollar as world reserve currency). I live in the USA. I'm a citizen. I despise what our leaders are doing at home and abroad.

  14. 9:30 : The 'backlash from the planners (elites)' against the people getting too independent dates back (at least) to Bismarck, although you see its seeds in Machiavelli's "The Prince." In the 19th Century, the ruling class of Junkers in Germany was being pushed aside (ignored) by common people as a result of free markets and the industrial revolution. Bismarck's brilliant idea was to institute socialized medicine, to keep the ruling class 'relevant.' And Germany fell for it. Very small step from there to "planned economy," and government picking winners (big, centralized) and losers (small and de-centralized). Very small step from that to Hitler, who portrayed the geopolitical situation as an existential threat (much as the ruling class in Japan at the time), and therefore it was everyone's "duty" to support the war effort for "the Fatherland." It's a sad, sordid cascade of errors that leads us back to poverty and serfdom. Check out sexy China for more.

  15. American exceptionalism is about our truly exceptional and good traits: a government restrained from meddling at home and abroad. We USE our exceptionalism as an EXCUSE to behave like any OTHER oppressive empire. No more war without a declaration by Congress. If a country wants our support, let them petition for statehood. If the federal government weren't so meddlesome, I think statehood under our constitution would look pretty good, and if we stuck to our constitution, states would have more autonomy to govern their own affairs, with a handful of rules everyone can agree on. Dave needs to re-imagine "American Exceptionalism." Anyway, I think Senator Lee gets it.

  16. It just goes to show how long they've had it their own way and had total domination of the public square, that they could be so blatant and clumsy about it. I think they miscalculated after unqualified success in mobilizing the population in the Iraq War, to where George W. Bush was even temporarily quite popular as Commander-in-Chief, for the simple reason that nobody wanted to cross the president when our boys were in harm's way, overseas. It's what the insiders wanted, so it was what all the establishment media pushed, and it was an unqualified success. Just drum up enough hysteria about Weapons of Mass Destruction, paint Hussein as the Devil incarnate, and then all the rest of the violence, bloodshed and wasted resources were justified. You see it in case after case. War. Character assassination. "Crises" justifying infringements on liberty and confiscations they could never justify under ordinary circumstances. But the people are forming an immunity, thanks to the "fool me once" phenomenon and independent media insisting on putting forward a dissenting point of view. Thank goodness there are people like Robert Barnes around to cry bullshit on this, and have a big enough stick to back it up. Guys like Barnes (and Rubin) are our best hope.

  17. 21:05 Man can lay it down. "They believe you should have 'right thought,' not free thought. They believe you should have the right expression, not free expression. They've combined ... the Inquisitional Catholic Church with ... 1920s Communists."

  18. They'll admit they were wrong, 5 or 10 years from now, and laugh it off, just like George W. Bush laughed off WMDs after killing half a million Iraqis and displacing/beggaring millions more, with many more deaths and much more hardship that will never EVER be fully reported, because none of these people care about the common man, here or abroad.

  21. Back when everybody believed the Earth was the center of the universe, smart people like Bill Maher constructed no end of complicated theories for the observed motions of the stars and planets, because a simple explanation based on their theory didn't exist. Rather than questioning the original assumptions, they just came up with more and more fanciful explanations. This is where Bill Maher is at. He has all these deep-seated beliefs about the proper role and scope of central government that are simply wrong. So when government intervention proves toxic - as it always does, eventually - people like Maher scramble to find explanations that align with their world view, and they just end up giving more power to the same clowns who messed things up to begin with.

  22. If Jimmy Dore applied the same disdain for government intervention, domestically, that he feels for our foreign policy, he'd be a libertarian. He KNOWS they're screwing things up around the world, based on lies and misinformation, but he can't see that the same exact people are screwing things up at home in the same way and for pretty much the same reasons. Jimmy's half-smart. He sees through the military- and media-industrial complexes, but what he doesn't see is the reason things are screwed up is because of too MUCH intervening by the state. He wants MORE intervention. Totally wrong-headed, there. Is there some diverse Space Jesus who knows all, sees all, and will run everything by diktat? No. But when you believe there is (like a religion), you're just setting yourself up for tyranny and social and economic ruin.

  25.  @eriknielsen1849  : I think you overestimate the need for a conspiracy to see things unfold as they have. But I agree that the lack of any accountability, and the continuing obstruction by Deep State actors within Trump's own administration, like Christopher Wray, and others, who CONTINUE to stonewall the release of information. Those guys who stalled and slow-walked everything Trey Gowdy was asking for as chair of intel committee. Those guys all worked for Trump. But I see other theories having just as credible as your "They're ALL in on it!" theory. If you look at the political climate and the absolute control of legacy-media narratives from the Democrat side, PLUS the large fraction of civil service that were actively working to sabotage Trump since before he even took office, maybe there's something ELSE taking place. For one, I do NOT believe for one SECOND that Rachel Maddow, Don Lemonade, or Chris Matthews are secretly in cahoots with Trump. I don't for one second believe that they WANT their narratives falling on deaf ears. No. They're all shocked and really kind of in a state of disbelief that the same forms of propaganda that manufactured the public's consent so successfully, so many times in the past, are not getting traction. I, too, was initially very concerned when I learned that Barr used to work for George Bush, Senior. I still have some reservations. But IF he's on the up-and-up, this is exactly how Barr should be playing it. And before I totally jump into the same ocean of cynical despair in which YOU are wallowing, I'm going to wait and see just how this all plays out. If Trump were truly a neocon, I think things would've played out much differently in Syria, especially Northern Syria, where the Kurds have been trying to carve out an ethnic homeland for decades. John Bolton would still be working for Trump, if that were the case. As for wanting eggheads like Kissinger around, I think this is pretty much Trump's way. He has brought in a diverse set of experiences and beliefs into his cabinet, and the "chaos" reported by WaPo and other legacy snake-in-the-grass media is exactly what I would expect, if he didn't just hire people who just agree with him on everything. Reagan was similar in this regard, allowing his staffers and cabinet to have free-ranging debates amongst themselves, before he made his decisions. If Trump were a neocon, he'd've wrapped himself in the flag and been at war with Iran by 2018. I think that was probably the neocon plan, all along. Iraq, Syria, Libya, then knock off Iran... There've been some bumps along the way. The missile strike after the false-flag chemical attack was not a good look. But as I read between the lines, I found out that the death toll from his missile attack in Syria was virtually nil. They KNEW the attack was coming, they knew WHERE the attack was coming, and people cleared out of the way. Russian shipping cleared the hell out with plenty of time before the attack, which I'm starting to think was mostly show, and maybe even to keep the neocons around him at bay a little while longer. But we'll see. I think we're seeing Trump do as he pretty much always has. I think if he had acted as aggressively as you or I might have wished, in the early going, he would've been savaged in the media, sabotaged by the never-Trumpers lingering in his administration, and removed from office by any means necessary. Instead, he kind of sits on you. He can't track down all the leakers, directly. But he CAN slowly appoint his own people, and ratchet up the pressure on the leakers, who don't know if the new guy is one of their own, or somebody quietly looking over their shoulder on Trump's behalf. Instead of Trump looking over his shoulder out of fear of the never-Trumpers, it's the never-Trumpers who are hearing footsteps. The proof will be in the indictments that Durham brings. Is he working for us, or is he just working for the insiders? As for Trump, himself, he's been saying the same things for DECADES. "We're getting ripped off in our foreign trade. The Chinese are thieves and liars. Uncontrolled immigration is bad and must be stopped. We have too many ridiculous regulations." Very simple ideas that were not and are not mainstream, unless you talk to the average working man in the street, who's sick of being bled dry so that rich, champagne liberals can fly around in their private jets and lecture us about global warming. I actually wish Trump were a bit MORE ideological, but he's basically an FDR Democrat, like Reagan was, although Reagan made more ideological arguments about limited government, in general, and opposing Soviet Russia's "evil empire." I don't think Trump sees things that way. But as a practical man, whatever programs we have in place, he wants them to work and be run more efficiently. Not a philosophical break from big government. More of a "Well, this ain't working" kind of blue-collar appraisal of government.

  27. The people who are asleep aren't watching Dave Rubin or anything outside of legacy media. Beware of being caught in the echo chamber outside the echo chamber. The people in the larger echo chamber aren't getting the word. So you FEEL like people are waking up, but are they really, or are the already-awake people just talking to each other?

  29.  @CaliforniatoWestAfrica  He let all his iconic roles go to his head. Plus he's surrounded by ignorant sycophants who praise his perspicacity. He thinks he's a lot smarter than he is. That's the thing. Explaining to people like that why their thinking is flawed is like explaining to a horse why it can't read. Unfortunately, the world is filled with people like that. Unfortunately, I'm one of them.

  30. I don't think it needs to be a shrink. But yes. If it were legalized, there wouldn't be much or any money in selling it in the street. Legal or illegal, every human needs to take that journey, either staying away or weaning away. It's not something that can be done "for them, for their own good." Drugs are like a virus. Do you become an authoritarian to achieve herd immunity, or do you use more traditional, time-tested means? Think about what alcohol did to Native Americans. Then think farther back to what it did to Europeans for centuries BEFORE that. We kind of adjusted. Some still fell prey to drink, and still do, but most of us don't. We try to restrict minors getting it, with VERY limited success, but the culture just kind of handles it. Treatment's there for anybody who wants it, but we know from history that taking it on directly, through prohibition, just led to machine-gun fire in the streets. So before you get too into the idea of legalization being stupid. Think about what illegalization has brought us. Life isn't perfect. Life is trade-offs.

  31. CRT requires a huge leap of faith, shrouded in peer-reviewed authority from the broken humanities departments in colleges and universities across the country. It's especially bad, because the "research" (which is just opinion) gives the green light to humanities departments to politicize entire colleges and universities. They THINK they're smart and moral, but they're really adopting a non-theistic religion that justifies all their innermost desires to tell everyone around them "You're a sinner and must repent!" Classic Puritanism, and with about as much real justification.

  32. She was representing her largely female, very largely obese union members, who were a major at-risk group, due to multiple obesity-related comorbidities. This wasn't about keeping kids safe. It was about a bunch of fat people scared of catching cooties from their snot-nosed charges. If the unions cared about the kids, they would fight against the unrelenting expansion of the school bureaucracy at the expense of everything else. Sweden didn't mask or close the schools. No one died.

  34.  @eristicfreethinker2098  Hamas was originally sponsored by Israel. The Taliban were originally sponsored by the USA to fight the USSR. There are terror/insurgent groups all over the world who are sponsored by the USA. The USA takes it to a whole new level by subverting national governments to use as our proxies: Ukraine and Israel are just two such. But Iran is the biggest sponsor of terror in the world. Right.

  39.  @thepearl6087  Trump mobilizes the left. And in key moments, he backs down to the neolib-neocon uni-party. Case in point: Missile strikes in Syria in retaliation for chemical attacks everyone is pretty sure were false flag. Assad had decisive tactical and strategic advantage. The only thing that could cost him that would be something stupid, like a chemical attack, when conventional means were already winning it for you. Then all of a sudden, USA is lobbing missiles. That was one of Trump's low points in foreign policy, and it's the one thing he received universal praise for doing. smh

  41. The greatest thing about Trump was what he did NOT do. As a 1970s Democrat, he believes in letting states rum most of their own stuff within their own means and learn from and compete with one another. He could've gone after South Dakota for not mindlessly issuing mandates. I'm sure a Democrat president would've heaped scorn upon and threatened sanctions against South Dakota. That's the thing about America. You can't MAKE America. You can only LET America. Politicians want to make things happen, but their job is to stay out of the way and let people, towns, and states make things happen for themselves, within their own means. That was the unique thing about American history. The people were expanding beyond the means of any central authority on the East coast to control. The MOST the government could do was create a false imprimatur of legality to a culture clash that was happening on the ground, far beyond the state's ability to project enough power to impose order. The Black Hills, part of which lie in South Dakota, were set aside for the Sioux, until illegal prospectors found gold, and then there was just no stopping a huge influx of people to the area. It attracted profiteers, profiteers profited, profiteers bought the government.

  46. Yes, but when the money is all in the one interpretation and censure and disrepute attach to any other, some get the impression that the one-note outcomes are political/ideological. And there is pretty strong evidence of some number-cooking and an abject failure of the climate models to align with the data as we get 5, 10 and 20 years into this foolishness. It's becoming painfully obvious their model is exaggerating the effect of man-made CO2. That doesn't mean we all don't want to live cleaner. It's just that most of us are skeptical that government is competent, not COMPETITIVE, with the ideas the ordinary folks are coming up with, like Mass heater rocket stoves that use 1/10 the wood, with near-zero particulate emissions. The EPA can't approve them, because what comes out the pipe is only warm, by the time you run it through your mass. The people are evolving more rapidly than a government bureaucracy can hope to keep up with. I think we, as people, know that it's better to live cleaner than dirtier, and probably not have too many babies. Let that percolate in society. Middle class want to source their food closer to home. We don't need laws to go local. Just some good advertising from the guy that put up the greenhouses on the North side of the canyon. Yeah, the distribution network is marvelous, but sustainable living is all about import replacement, and that includes things like truck vegetables, and in my case, local grown, grass-fed beef or venison. I can see communities growing in that more sustainable direction, without any prodding. It's something that's high-value that most middle-class are more than happy to pay extra for. Love to see Farmer's markets running year-round, where you the lady who grows the stuff you eat, and you've been out there, and it's totally sustainable, organic goods.

  47. Jobble top: There does seem to be an up-tick in autism, and I've listened to parents of autistic children talk about how the kid freaked or got a high fever and a lot of discomfort when they got vaccinated and went from above-average to barely able to form words, overnight. So just in people-off-the-street, I've naturally stumbled across a couple families with autistic kids who were normal until they got vaccinated, and now require 24-7 supervision. Basically the end of life as their parents once knew it.

  48. Well, except for the fact that the climate models they come up with have overshot reality, every... time. Predicting imminent doom and gloom and then nature disagreeing. I think climate change is largely driven by the sun and freak astronomical events/disasters. A period of andesitic vulcanism (highly explosive acidic rock) and we're back in the dark ages, those of us who are dependent on large acreages of grains. Maybe if it's more of a Hawaii thing, with basaltic (more basic) vulcanism, which is not explosive, so it doesn't throw a bunch of particulates, like a Mt. St. Helens or Krakatoa event. If we had an increase in basaltic eruptions along the spreading centers along the midoceanic ridges, that would inject a LOT of heat into the oceans, and it's something over which we have no control at all. Best to remain quick on your feet. Limited gov't. Citizens who plan.

  49. I think it's pretty self-evident that we could be smarter about living with nature, rather than opposed to nature. But what that means is an open question. When you look at middle-class Westerners, you see a birth rate that's actually curbing population growth, so maybe the answer is a world-wide middle class. And, it turns out, fossil fuels are very much the short path for upward mobility. As for the doom-and-gloomers who suddenly realized that climate changes, I haven't heard a single proposal that is anything but authoritarian.

  50. All atheists, if they're scientists, should be agnostic. Denial of God (of any sort) is as much an act of faith as belief in God. The rational mind can easily poke holes in any religion "made up" by men. That doesn't mean that we're all not nibbling around the edges of something greater, and many of us benefit ourselves and those around us by believing in something bigger, something that wants good things for everybody, with a clear definition (LIFE!) of what "good" means, even though none of us truly understand what that overarching entity or principle is, in its entirety. Maybe atheists are just really arrogant?
