Ruminations – 11aug20 (updated 13aug20)

George Rebane

Countering imported BLM demonstrators.  Given that BLM has shown its true colors as a political ‘black lives don’t matter’ movement created to transform the country into a socialist state, and demonstrating their violent methods in other towns and cities, I suppose it’s not surprising that people in Nevada County are turning out to defend home and hearth from imported 'protesters', no matter how many like-minded local leftists join them.

‘Mayhem Continues, Protest Narrative Crumbles’  The lamestream media has done it damnest to foist the Big Lie that the country’s riots, burnings, shootings, lootings, … are just “peaceful protests” of people seeking “social justice” in the wake of George Floyd’s death.  None of them admit to the existential evidence generated nightly across the land, and none of them admit to the greater political purpose of a socialist revolution to which the various factions of rioters readily admit and publish.  And this selective blindness is dutifully aped by our local leftwing loonies as demonstrated in these pages and elsewhere.  (more here)

‘Fighting Back Against the Woke Corporation’  The country’s mega-corporatists are doing their best to sell rope to our socialist cum communist revolutionaries in Congress and the streets.  Today their size is such that “Corporate power can enforce cultural conformity—through marketing, through lobbying, through firing.”  Is this not the perfect time for some unwoke, say retailer like Walmart, to make the big move against the market dominance of Amazon?  Just advertise that you are not woke and that you are a capitalist corporation which makes its profits by putting the interests of its customers (not the list of “stakeholders”) first.  For millions of us it will then quickly become the go-to place for online shopping as it builds up its SKU inventory. (more here)

[Update]  The NC BOS defeated the most recent version of the draconian covid ‘urgency ordinance’ at the end of a very lengthy meeting late this afternoon.  The best the proponents could do was to reduce – yes, reduce – the fines for violating the mask, gathering, and dining-in provisions to $500, $2,500, and $5,000 for the first three offenses.  The heroes of the session were Supervisors Ed Scofield and Susan Hoek with their no votes.  If covid ever becomes an ‘urgent matter’ in Nevada County, the BOS can always revisit such an ordinance.  In the interval, let’s respect the common sense of our residents who are well aware of the pandemic’s dangers.

[12aug20 update]  'Black' is a categorical political identity.  Kamala is advertised by the lamestream as being ‘black’.  Her ancestry is way more complex than that, and returns us to the question of how much Negroid blood qualifies one as black or African-American. (more here) In legal terms she’s classified as black if that’s how she wants it.  But what fraction of Negroid ancestry should our society demand before accepting such a politically beneficial de juris racial classification?  (more here) We answered that question for Elizabeth Warren’s Indian ancestry.  Today the answer is ‘whatever works’.

AP News suckers our local Union again.  AP (All Propaganda) is an unabashedly leftwing fake news outfit that still manages to bamboozle the news editors of most of the country’s newspapers.  The latest piece – ‘Virus surge make the United States weak link in global economic recovery’ - that appears in the 12aug20 Union is utter editorial bullshit passed off as news copy.  At best it should appear on the newspapers’ op-ed pages.  But the fact that it passes off as news goes a long way to explain why today’s Americans have such a low opinion of journalists and journalism.  Did any of them ever take a critical thinking course in journalism school?  (The article on Union’s page A6 could not be found on the AP site, nor on the Union’s website.  It looks like a piece of fluff propaganda passed down to small town newspapers that need to fill some real estate in their print editions, and are not that alert or savvy about what qualifies as real news.  You can read it if you look in the print edition on their website – try here.)

[13aug20 update]  President Trump is finally putting some balance into his C19 ‘science team’ with the invitation to a couple of physician scientists who are part of the cohort of thousands of such professionals that has a markedly different take on what our proper response policies should be for this highly politicized pandemic.  Perhaps there now will be some meaningful backroom discussions between Fauci et al and the newcomers.  (more here and here.  H/T to reader.)

At least Joe can read and I'll bet you he can pronounce Yosemite.

.......and the thing. He has hairy legs.....or so we’ve been told. Likes to sniff young girls. Likes to swim naked when female Secret Service agents are protecting him. Has been in the pocket of the banking and credit card industries for thirty years. Showed poor foreign policy judgment in his bungling, boastful dealings with Kiev
(Bloomberg). ...... “perfected the art of taking big contributions, then representing his corporate donors at the cost of middle- and working-class Americans. Converting campaign contributions into legislative favors and policy positions isn’t being “moderate”. It is the kind of transactional politics Americans have come to loathe” (Jacobin).

And apparently has “problems” with the truth, something that is a real dealbreaker with you Punch (https://calcoastnews.com/2020/05/joe-bidens-problem-with-the-truth/).

This is fun Punch....you should type in Joe Biden ethical lapses and make a day of it! 😀

Anyway.....I think we will all understand when you don’t vote for him.

Roflmao. Now Nevada City is going to have an emergency meeting to address this crisis. Beam me up Scottie. The agrieved widows want to be heard and they have gathered up on the line of contempt and are outraged this could happen here. c They need to discuss how they feel! We need to talk about it in a safe place.

I dunno. If the BLM folks did not have a permit, they should have peacefully stayed on the sidewalks, as many passerbys did. Those with the permit own to street.

Those protestors still mostly look like the same kids from Sunshine Schoolhouse that their mothers where dragged along with or Mom dragged her daughter along to the parade. Anyway, Mom had to drive. Some of them could use a little more meat on their bones. Never bring young children to a protest march...never. What dumb shits.

Of course, both men that ICE picked up had warrants for violent crimes. Doesn't matter. The mayor and DA are 4-square for the illegal alien Latinx (where in the heck did that 'x' come from anyway? a dislike for gender word endings? good luck with speaking Spanish) community and all-in for their hatred towards Federal law enforcement.

Remember back in the good old days when the argument was that states weren't involved in immigration matters (see: Arizona, State of)?

Truth is, in addition to everything else, AntifaBLM are open-borders radicals. Heck, I remember that even our Matron of Newscrafters was for enforcing immigration law.

The 2nd 'here' references an article from RED STATE, which further references an NEJM article, dated March 26, 2020, N Engl J Med 2020; 382:1268-1269, DOI: 10.1056/NEJMe2002387. Authors: Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., (both from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) and Robert R. Redfield, M.D. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta)

This NEJM article clearly states that "the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)." And the article was printed 3/26/20. Just around the time that plans for shutdown were being made.

Why hasn't this article been discussed before? It's not like this was a hidden article. Gee, I bet NEJM is read by at least 10 physicians every month. The article puts the lie to just about anything that Fauci is extolling.

More bad news for the TDS set -

The orders have the greatest support among Hispanic Americans, fifty-nine percent of whom approve of the orders. Fifty-seven percent of white Americans approve. Forty-five percent of black Americans approve.

Men are more likely to approve of the orders, with 26 percent strongly approving and 34 percent somewhat approving. Twenty-five percent women strongly approve and 25 percent somewhat approve.
Wealthier Americans are less likely to approve of the orders. Only 50 percent of Americans earning $100,000 or more approve, perhaps a reflection of the fact that the payroll tax cut does not apply to Americans earning more than $104,000 and wealthier Americans are less likely to have lost their jobs. Fifty-eight percent of Americans earning under $50,000 approve and 62 percent of Americans earning more than $50,000 and less than $100,000 approve.

2 HOURS AGO
The U.S. government has for the first time seized vessels allegedly loaded with Iranian fuel in violation of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing U.S. officials.

U.S. prosecutors filed a lawsuit last month to seize the gasoline aboard four tankers that Iran is trying to ship to Venezuela, the latest attempt by the Trump administration to increase economic pressure on the two U.S. foes.

The lawsuit aimed to stop the flow of revenues from oil sales to Iran, which Washington has sanctioned over its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and influence across the Middle East. Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

The four vessels, called Luna, Pandi, Bering and Bella, were seized on the high seas in recent days and are now en route to Houston, the WSJ said, citing the officials, adding that senior administration officials are expected to meet the tankers at an event scheduled to mark the docking.

Let the games begin! Sorry Emery,, your new love Kamala Harris
ain't eligible for VP.
"The fact that Senator Kamala Harris has just been named the vice presidential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has some questioning her eligibility for the position. The 12th Amendment provides that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.” And Article II of the Constitution specifies that “[n]o person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President.” Her father was (and is) a Jamaican national, her mother was from India, and neither was a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time of Harris’ birth in 1964. That, according to these commentators, makes her not a “natural born citizen”—and therefore ineligible for the office of the president and, hence, ineligible for the office of the vice president."

Team 0 is acting like the mullah enablers they always were. Didnt 0 get a peace prize for nothing??-

Ben Rhodes, a former deputy national security adviser to President Barack Obama, received a wave of criticism on Thursday after he attempted to downplay a peace accord between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The agreement makes the UAE the third Arab country, after Egypt and Jordan, to have full diplomatic ties with Israel.

Many Twitter users suggested Rhodes was bitter about the Trump administration achieving even a partial Middle East peace agreement, something which eluded the Obama administration

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted that the "Obama crew is unhappy that this deal (1) is good for Israel, (2) doesn’t give $$ to Iran, and (3) doesn’t undermine America."

I know these demonstrators that I talked to, they are friends of mine and they are credible. there is absolutely no evidence that there were car loads of imported protestors.

James Howard Kunstler speaks...

"There’s nobody else, really, no credible dark horse, the party might turn to in its hour of self-induced existential terror. It will be a monumentally drawn-out hour if they go ahead with this Biden / Harris ticket. It’s hard to imagine old Joe out on the hustings, humiliating himself every time he ventures a few utterances before a sparse assembly of socially-distanced party ringers and foot-soldiers, not to mention the gruesome spectacle of debates with the Golden Golem of Greatness."

https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/chaos-theory/

and... "Meanwhile, the Dems will have to get their Antifa warriors to stand down after Labor Day. Anymore riots and looting will surely be blamed on them — especially now that the Black Lives Matter org has declared that looting officially amounts to reparations for slavery and its associated indignities."

It's a good question for Paul. Are his people planning on turning off AntifaBLM as the election approaches? It might not be a bad strategy.

I did think that this was a pretty good take on the matter that most everyone can agree with. (warning: talking head alert).

"Innovations in energy are at the cusp, if looking outside the window of today. The fossil fuel era that seems like forever will be a finger snap looking back.

Climate change exists now, and humans have just about everything to do with it, just as we’ve remade the entire ecosystem of the globe in almost any way we can conceive. We’re rather obviously in a race between solving this and oblivion as a species, Mother Earth shaking us off like a bad cold."

A true believer running the local newspaper... a little ice age would be very convenient right about now but such things take time.

[scenes]

""Innovations in energy are at the cusp,"

I wonder what that would be? All I ever see are small marginal improvements in batteries and solar panel pricing, no doubt mostly driven by economy of scale rather than design breakthrough. That, and a push to make power distribution more clever, which has the nasty side effect of running the grid closer to the edge all the time. Battery improvements aren't a trivial thing, but don't produce power. Natural gas usage continues to increase every year.

In any case, it'll be up to the Chinese. They drive practically all the new increase in electrical usage.

[Gregory]

Unfortunately, rather than a speedup of the solar grand minimum we're facing, there will be a scorcher of a heat wave from right about now until next Friday. I expect The Union to run a few stories of the "a preview of the future is upon us" genre.

[George Rebane]

PaulE re NC demonstrations - From the multiple videos it is clear that there were about 50 BLM demonstrators and 11-15 counter-demonstrators. One van full of imported organizers were all that was needed to pull off what we saw, and that didn't require any parking lot full of obviously out-of-town vehicles. No 'investigation', save your denials, has looked into this. The obvious question is still 'why did only some demonstrators wear backpacks, and why would a local resident who's just going to walk down Broad St strap on a back pack? I'm sure that you can come up with an answer, but how plausible would it be?

Arrest made after Protest Investigation in Nevada City
by Nevada City Police Department August 14, 2020

August 14, 2020 – Throughout the week, investigators from the Nevada City Police Department have been working in partnership with investigators from the Grass Valley Police Department, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney’s Office. Many victims and witnesses have come forward as well as multiple video clips taken from community member’s cell phones.

In compiling all of the statements and evidence and working with our allied agencies, we have identified several suspects and have put together some strong prosecutable cases.

We can’t thank the community members enough for coming forward and assisting us with both your accounts of the incident as well as video footage.

The actions demonstrated by the counter-protesters cannot and will not be tolerated in any of our local communities. There is no place for the hatred and violence which occurred in our town last Sunday, and we as a community need to stick together and flush it out.

At 3:05 PM today, members of the Nevada City Police Department along with members of the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department, the District Attorney’s Office and the Grass Valley Police Department, located one of the primary aggressors of the incident on Buckeye Road. He was arrested and is currently being booked into the Wayne Brown Correctional Facility. The suspect arrested was identified as James Steven Smith of Nevada County.

The investigation as of today is still active and ongoing. Additional charges and prosecution of suspects involved is still imminent.

Thank you to all of our allied agencies and your assistance. I am grateful we live in a community where we have such a great working relationship.

"Arrest made after Protest Investigation in Nevada City"

It's an interesting problem. Somebody could stand to jot down what the rules of engagement actually are. Perhaps the country attorney could outline exactly what measures a person can take to protect themselves, others, or property.

After watching a few hundred hours of 'peaceful' protesting (and the other kind), it's obviously put together to elicit a response. If there's no burning or looting or general iconoclasm, you are treated to a bunch of folks waving around cameras filming other folks screaming FUCKYOUNAZIFUCKYOUNAZI (or the like) right in the face of a cop or the occasional counter-protestor.

The point, of course, is to catch the occasional angered swing at the yeller and then call the cops (ironically). Any strikes from Team Blue consist of a disguised person darting out of the crowd and then back in.

Glass breaking and general mayhem are merely another mechanism to catch that elusive camera shot of the evil policeman trying to do his thing, albeit imperfectly.

Obviously the Left is going to own the street until either a) they get bored and go home or b)things get friskier. Sadly, I'm afraid that the only long term effect of all of this is going to be the radicalization of the Right and a general decrease in trust levels (already diminished by The Plague). Probably not the intended result. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime you find you get what you need.

When I was on the county's Large Scale Emergency Response committee, we worked on the definition of what constitutes a large scale emergency, in other words how can someone tell that we are in a LSE. The most robust definition we could come up with was that if you call 911 and no one answers, then it's a large scale emergency.

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead has evaporated in the past two months, a new poll from CNN shows.

Biden leads President Donald Trump by just four points nationally — 50 percent to 46 percent — and by even less across 15 battleground states that will determine who wins the electoral college. In those 15 states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin — the new CNN poll has Biden leading by just one percent, with Biden at 49 and Trump at 48.

Ooops he did it again -

“I quit, I became a public defender. And I used to have to interview my clients down by the train station… and 40 years later to the month, January of 2018, I found myself in a circumstance where, I mean 2012, I find myself standing in the same spot I was standing 40 years earlier,” Biden. said. “And I was waiting for a black man, Tom ,to come and pick me up from Philadelphia. A guy named Barack Obama. On 17th January, to take me to Washington, a trip I’ve made a thousand of times commuting every day, to be sworn in as president and vice president.”

Biden wasn’t inaugurated in 2018 nor in 2012, with the two ceremonies actually taking place in 2009 and 2013.
