Jeff, If you don't mind, I am reposting this comment again directly to you:

𝐅𝐘𝐈: The COVIDsteria Substack was just subjected to 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 "𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡" (𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤/𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐭𝐜. & with no explanation from Substack) involving a 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤-𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐧, 11-to-23 hour invisibility for our comments on other Substacks, etc. all 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 (e.g. discrepancies in the #s on comment ticker count counters on posts from other Substackers revealed our comments were invisible but being counted at times) in a post pinned to the top of our Substack (continuously updated) that also noted similar problems other Substacks have faced:

On Thursday, the "technical glitch" abruptly ended (again, with no explanation from Substack) with all of our presumably blocked email posts being sent out at once by Substack to subscribers with our comments on other Substacks once again becoming visible immediately. However, we did lose about 30+ subscribers with the emails going out to a nice round # (exactly 3,000 - yes, we are a small Substack with a loudmouth!).

hmmmm....

A couple of weeks ago I stopped receiving emailed updates from Ngo Comment, and thought it might only be because Andy was busy working on a story and hadn't posted.

Yesterday a notice appeared in my mailbox and it soon became clear there'd been much activity on the site, but I'd simply received no notifications.

That site isn't covid-focused, but investigates and publishes news about hot-button topics such as antifa terrorist activities and the associated presence and possible connection of violence committed by the trans community.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll start paying closer attention, because, as the covid coup so bitterly taught us, what they'll do to one they'll do to us all if given the chance.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

Ok, I looked at Ngo Connect. Every post does not allow non-paying subscribers to comment & the chat is only for paying subscribers. I get he probably attracts alot of spam/threats etc 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐩, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡? It may just be happening to non-paying subscribers... He may also have the messaging function and alert levels set to a high level to prevent all the spam and threatening messages he no doubt gets, along with legit messages, from reaching him...

Yea, you can't rely on email - especially if using Gmail etc. Leave a page open on a browser screen on your phone or computer or just remember to go to it every so often... Ngo is particularly hated since he's a gay Asian but doesn't have correct beliefs.

Kathy's avatar

I was unsubscribed to Coffee & Covid without my doing. When the emails didn’t show up in my inbox, my first thought was “ Oh no, I hope Jeff is all right.” When I looked into it, I was shocked to find that I had been unsubscribed.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

I lost about 30+ subscribers when released as exactly 3,000 emails went out for each post that had been blocked and I was left with 3,000 subscribers (I started with ZERO and NO mailing list)... Overall subscriber totals have been drifting slightly downward for awhile (despite notifications of new subscribers) - I attributed to my stance on Israel (not popular with boomers) & the overall subscription fatigue/overload that everyone faces... Also, Substack may automatically unsubscribe you if you are not clicking on the emails (I think some mailing list programs purge inactive emails or where emails are not being read) e.g. I often read stuff on web browsers where I am not logged in...

Truth Seeker's avatar

It is no secret that Substack is 100% AI run.

It is thusly doomed. Let the games continue.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

It might have been an auto generated ban for me if multiple accounts reported my Substack and then I had to use the AI chatbot to complain (documented in my post) and get a human to manually review / unblock... Unless something else is going on... I don't think Substack can afford the # of staff that Fedbook has and pre-Elon Twitter had to monitor everyone...

Truth Seeker's avatar

I strongly suspect there is no human interface whatsoever.

The AI autobills renewals, does not send statement.

Great format, terrible biz model.

Franklin O'Kanu's avatar

I’ve been experiencing something similar - but I attributed it to finances, etc, but I’m hearing a lot about Substack censoring for conservative, truth pages.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

The economy is bad so it's natural for that to impact paid subscriptions + there is subscription fatigue along with the general ensh*tification of Substack as noted by others all over the spectrum. 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐁𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒 𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐎𝐔𝐓!

Yep, I can see why people block you.

We totally lost our compass; we are insane and in total moral confusion.

“The Covid years, are the most abysmal, catastrophic event, for anyone who survived it in hystory.

To ignore this, is criminal and an invitation to repeat THE CRIMES, in the future.

We must focus ONLY on COVID !!!!!.At least in this splendid post…

1.Professor RANCOURT unmasked the lies and revealed the truth. THIS IS THE REAL AND ONLY TRUTH OF WHAT COVID WAS:

Professor Dr D. Rancourt’, very early study, proved the lack of existence of PANDEMIC and SARS-CoV-2 “VIRUS”, using a “razor sharp” EXCESS ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY data:

June 2, 2020-“All-cause mortality during COVID-19-No plague and a likely signature of MASS HOMOCIDE BY GOVERNMENT RESPONSE” (denisrancourt.ca)

The most comprehensive studies are these:

“Spatiotemporal variation of excess all-cause mortality in the world (125 countries) during the COVID period 2020-2023 regarding socio-economic factors and public-health and medical interventions”- D.G. Rancourt, J Hickey, C. Linard (correlation-canada.org)

“Constraints from geo-temporal evolution of all-cause mortality on the hypothesis of disease spread during COVID”. - J. Hickey, D.G. Rancourt, C. Linard (correlation-canada.org).”

2. We have 4 days of Allison inquiry in Canada in Sept 2026!!! Prof Rancourt made a crystal-clear presentation at Allison inquiry.

And NOBODY, NOBODY, SPEAKS ABOUT THIS.

Jane Tracy's avatar

I listened to Professor Rancourt yesterday on The Highwire. It was very good and enlightening.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

Possible explanations:

1) Some don't like what he was writing recently...

2) Summer is over BUT views etc should be going up as the weather cools & more people are inside & start paying attention to the Midterms + school is underway...

3) Emails and alerts aren't getting through

4) They are running an algorithm on targeted accounts to slowly reduce likes, reach, subscribers, etc. I thought Fedbook, pre-Elon Twitter was doing stuff like this but as I noted in my post, Dave Collum has said that his follower count on Twitter hasn't budged despite being on Tucker, doing podcasts all over YT every week + Megyn Kelly etc following him & getting alerts to new followers.... As someone told me the other day:

"They are going to keep shadow-banning and demonetizing you until it becomes obviously worthless to be on the platform which is what happened with X, Fedbook, etc. OR they will just kick you off... Don't build your house on rented land!"

Kathryn Dewalt's avatar

YES! I wondered what was the explanation for the lower numbers. It didn't make sense since Jeff has been on a roll posting "good stuff" happening. I've noticed rather BIZARRE posting of antisemitic stuff (some of it inciting... or calling for... violence via hate mongering)

But nothing I've reported has been removed, at least as far as I can tell, because no response is sent.

Citizen Satirist (CS)'s avatar

My anti-Zionist meme tuff and stance against this was probably got me into trouble... 𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐈 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒: Once you get above a certain subscriber level or reach, your Substack will start to:

1) Attract weird comments from odd accounts (some are real, not fake antisemites or racists etc) - like they are trying to probe, direct, steer or insight you or readers (some then disappear only for new ones to appear). Always assumed these accounts to be trolls or people directly/indirectly working for the Feds via their cutouts who are trying to stir the pot or insight stuff and should just be ignored...

2) I also have an "AIPAC minder" who posts extremely long prewritten pro-Zionist comments on any meme post that contains any meme that's remotely anti-Z or Anti-Israel BUT strangely usually ignores my dedicated Friday war meme/update posts...

𝐎𝐇 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟐 𝐏𝐑𝐎-𝐔𝐊𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐍 & 𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐘 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒? They would never comment on my Substack's anti-Ukraine war meme posts. Probably had strict orders to target certain accounts above a certain traffic or subscriber level... Horsey was definitely not American by his English writing (might have been Ukrainian). Benjamin may not have always been the same operator but was definingly American. Also, they may get paid bonuses based on likes/conversions to their side etc saw an article once written by someone who had worked in a similar troll operation who wrote that...

I personally unsubscribed from two of your newsletters for this exact reason. Just FYI. I enjoyed your stuff for years but truly can not tolerate the shrill anti-zionist bs nor do I particularly wish to partake of material that "punches right" too often. I agree we need to "police our own" if you will but really it was too much. I already have a lot of newsletters and not so much time to consume stuff that just doesn't interest me or irritates me too regularly. It's too black pill. Put the black pill down ffs. Not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy, and not everyone wants to consume it constantly.

Some mailing list programs will take the liberty to purge "inactive" emails or emails where stuff is not being opened BUT should be sending a notification first. I often look at stuff on web browsers where I am not logged in on and don't click on the emails... However: I sometimes watch the China Show on YouTube. Pretty much every episode they are asking their viewers in the chat if YouTube sent them an alert prior to the start of the live show and often or not some say they did not get one. This could be b/c the tech at the back end of YT etc is just not that robust OR b/c the China Show criticizes China (its the American & South African who used to ride around China on their motorcycles videoing and just talking about China on another YT channel) & Google of course is in bed with China...

Kind of odd....I've been a subscriber for years but mostly never got emails about new posts, so I have just routinely gone to C&C on my computer (where I mostly stayed signed in automatically). But recently, maybe over the last couple of weeks. suddenly I'm getting email notifications. Go figure!

I look askance on claims she's sleeping in her car. The bar is more spacious - sleeping area, clothing storage- and temperature-controlled.

This claim may be because it's illegal to sleep in a place of business that serves food, as this dyke dyve apparently does, and the last thing she needs is a downtick from the Health Dept.

That whole story actually mimics every argument I’ve ever had with a lefty or a black piller.

This story just highlights the frustration and insanity we are facing everywhere today.

Reminds me of a turn of the phrase

“…….everyone lived as he thought it was right in his own eyes" from Judges 21:25 “reflects the anarchy and moral confusion prevalent in Israel during the time of the judges. Without a king, the people acted according to their own judgment, leading to a lack of order and discipline. This ultimately resulted in sinful behavior and the downfall of the people, as they did not follow God's guidance. The verse serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of personal judgment without divine authority.”

RunningLogic's avatar

At the same time, I would like to end the scourge of people in the right lane (the SLOW lane!) coming up behind me and tailgating to push me to go faster when they could easily pass instead *eye roll* This happens regularly and really ticks me off. Hello, I am here in the proper lane going the speed limit, if YOU want to go faster, then get your lazy butt into the other lane and pass me already! Eventually they do give up after realizing their tailgating isn't pressuring me to go faster, and then they speed off into the other lane, clearly annoyed that they have to make the effort.

And for the record I am also completely sympathetic to the complaints about people driving the speed limit or below who hang out in the left or even middle lanes, it annoys me too, which is why I stay to the right when I am going at a slower speed than other people are!

Juju's avatar

That block was hilarious. Too many blushes and groans out of me 🤣

But last night was also the FIRST time he ever had a block where I wholeheartedly disagreed with ALL of them. It was about furries flying our airlines. They all could care less and tried to ride the “what you enjoy doing in your personal time is your business so long as you get me to where I’m going on time” and “I don’t care if your making feline noises the entire flight so long as you can land that plane!”

Ohhh so inclusive! So tolerant!

So missing the point!!!

If someone is that mentally unstable, then I don’t want to gamble on them controlling a tube of metal holding hundreds of humans tens of thousands of feet in the air. It’s all about mental stability to me.

I’m not ok with that story or how they minimized, no ignored, the actual concerns surrounding it.

CStone's avatar

Juju, I agree.

They are actually a danger to themselves and everyone else.

They have been given over to a reprobate mind and they do whatever they WANT to do ALL the time.

If they do not GET to do what as they please, they are capable if taking down an entire plane load of souls.

Juju's avatar

Well it’s also more than just landing the plane. The entire flight staff is full of these characters. How you interact with passengers, their children, their differences of opinion, etc matters. If you’re already twisting reality for yourself and your groupies, there’s good reason to believe you would greatly distort reality and appropriateness in other important situations. We saw how that nonsense impacted our military. Don’t tell me it doesn’t impact the “friendly skies.”

RunningLogic's avatar

Totally agree with you on this issue.

kittynana's avatar

@Juju- those Furries don't want to die, either. I'm sure they're good to go.

That lesbian bar story reminds me of the leftists in Kurt Schlichter’s People’s Republic fiction series. It’s basically a fictional depiction of what would have happened if Hillary won in 2016, and the US divorces itself and separates into red America and blue Peoples Republic. In the blue, they have all these chaotic and confusing grievance labels and everything fails…. Very entertaining read!

Fortunately that 26 year old lesbian is young and can learn from her foolish mistake of starting a business that could never survive.

Biden had a mission to destroy America:

-He ran up $35 trillion in national debt.

-Subsidized enemies like Iran and China.

-Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood.

-Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent killer and rapist. So they can depopulate even more ?

-Our soldiers had to run in women's high heels.... and forced military

used non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation.

- Used the justice system to indict, bankrupt, convict, jail and eliminate political opponents.

- Sabotage our young and brightest. Turn world-class universities into indoctrination centers.

....

I only disagree with one thing you said “Biden had a mission “ I don’t think Biden even knew what was going on most of the time. Someone or some group had a mission and Biden was their puppet .

Despite being in constant legal crap for the last 6 years. Let's put it on obama, Biden's family needs to go to jail just for elder abuse, if no other reason (and there is a list).

The same playbook was done with covid originally. When the virus was first out there and Trump was warning it seemed to be originating in China, Pelosi was dancing with the Chinese-Americans? living in San Fran. The same in NYC with Cuomo, but as soon as Trump declared a National Emergency, the lockdowns erupted.

We also see the same plays in place with data centers. The Michigan SOS who is running for governor is denouncing data centers, even though her husband was connected with getting one built on prime farm land, despite the area’s high objections. It was also just released she has received campaign contributions from two big data center groups. If she wins, data centers will flood this state, along with more solar. It’s the same playbook all the time.

Bard Joseph's avatar

Neo cons came from the so called Conservatives to identify a new enemy, the Communists like William F Buckley, who was CIA.. Paging Bishop Fulton J Sheen. Those pagan Commies.

daverkb's avatar

It was all one big bucket of slime in the 20th century. And labels can be confusing because labels must be considered from the viewpoint of the various points of ideological posture, and not from any one particular pat label of coloration which may be rattling around in one's head. And so, yes ... I can see how the NeoCons from their position would see themselves as conservative, conserving ... and not as a force for chaos. And so, in an odd way, I can see how the NeoCon/Neo-Conservative labeling makes sense, at least in some circles.

Take William F. Buckley. He was sold as the arch conservative. But look at the man and one sees that Buckley never conserved anything whatsoever over the course of his entire life. In fact, Buckley's career was one slippage after another from views that he had previously held, and one long slide down the slippery slope leading directly to the snake pit. 

So what was Buckley? Communist? Fascist? For that matter, who or what was Franklin Roosevelt?  Or Stalin? Or Adolf? And for sure the 20th century was largely a Brown shirt Red shirt affair. But it may be said with certitude that all of the above had one thing in common, and that is an adherence to Marxism ... and of one admixture, one complexion or another. And what they all were not is Christian. 

J. Gresham Machen was an American Presbyterian New Testament scholar and educator in the early 20th century. Perhaps his best known work is Christianity and Liberalism which was written in 1923, which is fairly early in the century. He had much to say about the inerrancy and creedlessness of Christianity in his time as juxtaposed against the rise of Liberalism. Looking backwards in time, one is able to detect more fully what was going on during this era in time. Christianity in America was failing and embracing non-Christian elements, becoming 'progressive' while Liberalism was 'progressively' rising in embrace of the Marxist passion. That is, Onward Christian Soldiers was over time transitioning to Onward Globalist Soldiers in what was to be one of the bloodiest centuries in recorded history.  I would add in the interest of truncation, that in looking backwards, the 20th century was the first Marxist century and that the 21st is merely a continuation. 

This is a bit of a condensation, and I don't mean it to be taken as a rigid construction, but more of a seeding of thought.

Read the book Judas Goats.

daverkb's avatar

I've read some 27 pages so far.

Some of my friends, all deceased by now, knew some of the people mentioned in the first pages of the book. I'd get reports. Based on that plus what I learned from Virginia's General Assembly, a lot of these people don't know too much. I mean REALLY SURPRISINGLY not too much.

I once told a committee Chairman that the bill under consideration, was not a Virginia sovereignty bill as advertised intended to give Virginia authority over all Virginia water stream (springs, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, etc., but was a federal/state law harmonization bill. I was shocked when the chairman looked around the room for someone, and spotted a lobbyist, and then asked, "Is he right". The guy thought for a few seconds and said, "Yes." I have a lot of instances of that. From the outside looking in, one would think that a delegate or senator would know something about what they are charged to deal with. But they don't. Instead, they cover the spectrum from knowing to not knowing. My impression was the most elected official don't know what they are doing. (Based on just being an ordinary guy, I had to wonder. If I could figure these thing out, why couldn't the elected officials, at least some of them.)

Judas Goat is a very valid idea. So far, I appear more selective, more measured in how I apply the term. But then again, there is the rest of the book.

Politico Phil's avatar

And then there is Zionism which seems to have arisen to give 'conservative' Christians, who have been disaffected by liberalism, a cause celebre to justify foreign wars, an extension of the neoconservative ideology.

I think they are that delusionally suspicious of anyone amongst them becoming MAGA aligned, so much so that the slightest perceived inch moved in that direction brings hellfire down upon them. They are the true fascists of our time. Total allegiance, no defectors. So when anyone says or does something sane (not even close to aligning with alternative thinking) they get accused of being a betrayer. They live, breathe, eat, and sleep their hate 24/7 and that’s the only glasses they see things through. There is no room for reasonableness in their world. It’s total alignment in every blink of your eye or you get canceled. How exhausting.

When it’s done to promote lies? It never makes sense.

I don’t think it’s about ideological purity spirals, it looks to me like a group of gullible narcissists getting psychologically tortured by a group of sociopaths. The guy pretending to be a lesbian just enjoys making the bar owner miserable and his identity protects him so they can’t fight back or just disengage. So he verbally abuses her until she cries then abuses her some more because she cries and no one in the whole group, not even the psychologist, realises what’s actually going on because they are all in denial that they invited a lot of snakes into their garden.

It still concerns me that conservative Republicans are finding ways to split the party and keep fellow conservatives out of the voting booth by nitpicking issues. Okay, so something isn’t going your way, or moving fast enough, or not meeting your expectations. Fine. But planting your flag on a hill that sends voters to SDA is destructive. Sort out your disappointments AFTER the midterms. Y’all just don’t seem to realize that this is not about you getting your trophy. It is about giving Trump the next few years to solidify his plan to save America. Resist attempts to try to hurt him by removing MAGA from power.

Richard Klamm's avatar

Historically the Republican Party does not march in lockstep with each other (certainly not like Democrats). The nitpicking is in my opinion to be expected. I don’t agree with it but it doesn’t surprise me. But if this is what keeps folks from voting then they weren’t going to vote anyway.

The counter is to go back a few weeks print out Jeff’s list of Trump accomplishments, and remind the Republican critics that none of positive results would have even been on the Harris radar much less attempted. As the saying goes it takes a lot of time, space and planning to reverse a cruise ship’s direction.

I will continue to point out to the nitpickers where we are as a country today compared to where we were in January 25. And then I will use spend my time reminding independent thinkers of the positive results and let the nitpickers noise be just that small insignificant noise.

“Florida is home to a unique form of wildlife called “snowbirds,” which are retired folks who live here only half the year, arriving in flocks to plague our highways and parking lots. Many of them request mail-in ballots from their northern abodes and also vote here in Florida. This double voting is not new. It is not obscure. It has just been unpunished.”

I lived in Florida for 25 years. I lost count of how many times I heard snowbirds from NY brag about voting in both states, and always democrat!

Genocide is becoming a "popular" topic: "...Milei went further and characterized the resulting avoidable deaths as “genocide.”

...........................................................................................................

Milei Takes on “Arrogant Parasites” at United Nations

Argentina’s Javier Milei walked into the United Nations and told the bureaucrats sitting before him exactly what he thought of them. He said the organization had become “useless” and existed to support what he called a caste of “fatally arrogant parasites” masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats. Whether one agrees with Milei’s rhetoric or not, this was not the normal diplomatic garbage where politicians congratulate one another, read speeches written by committees, and then fly home while accomplishing absolutely nothing. He attacked the fundamental question nobody inside these institutions ever wants to discuss: who gave unelected international bureaucracies the authority to dictate how people should live?

Milei went directly after the COVID lockdowns, and this is where his speech will certainly infuriate the establishment. He accused organizations operating under the UN system of placing themselves above scientific evidence and national sovereignty while promoting forced lockdowns around the world. His description was brutal: “a global experiment in social control disguised as science.” He pointed to the destruction of employment, children’s education, access to medical care, and the ability of families even to say goodbye to dying relatives. Milei went further and characterized the resulting avoidable deaths as “genocide.”

The lockdown era demonstrated just how quickly governments will surrender individual liberty when bureaucrats declare an emergency....

This is the part Milei understands because Argentina knows better than almost any nation what happens when government believes there is no limit to its authority over the economy. Bureaucrats always insist that this time is different. They never surrender authority voluntarily when the emergency ends because bureaucracy behaves exactly like every other organism where the first objective becomes its own survival...

Milei walked into the United Nations and said out loud what plenty have wanted to say directly to its face. He did not bow or pretend that another room full of bureaucrats somehow possesses the wisdom to manage eight billion human beings. He called them “fatally arrogant parasites” and accused the institution of becoming absolutely useless. Stop trying to regulate how people work, travel, produce energy, use technology, run their businesses, and live their lives from glass castles where nobody ever seems personally accountable when the grand experiment fails. COVID demonstrated how quickly emergency powers can swallow individual liberty, and Milei’s warning is that the same mentality is now migrating into climate policy, economic regulation, migration, and artificial intelligence.

Whatever one thinks of his language or politics, there was something unmistakably different about watching a head of state stand inside the institution itself and tell its leadership that the world does not belong to them. Nations are not laboratory experiments, citizens are not livestock to be managed, and freedom does not exist at the pleasure of some international bureaucracy. Milei did not go there asking these institutions to control the world a little more efficiently. He went there telling them to get their hands off it.

Did you see what the Israeli UN rep did to the Iranian? After the violent riots in January, facilitated by the US handing out 6,000 Starlink receivers to the paid rioters, the Israeli rep, covered by the "news" cameras, tried to give a Starlink receiver to the Iranian rep.

Incredibly rude. Did they really think that would go over well?

https://x.com/WARRENTSHOW/status/2103355801045995538

Mrs. RW

Inisfad's avatar

They weren’t ‘paid rioters’. They were Iranian citizens who had their internet turned off by the government, so that had no way of communicating with the outside world, or vice versa. Actually Elon Musk did the same thing with Ukraine, allowing Starlink access. In any event, watch what is happening in Iran now….the citizens have begun to rise up in the southeast of Iran. They consider the IRGC as occupiers, even if that is not understood in the West.

Richard Whitney's avatar

Except the Ukraine Starlink part. That is true, and it is unconscionable.

Mrs. RW

Inisfad's avatar

I suppose the difference is giving Starlink to a criminal enterprise such as Ukraine, who was in the process of attempting to annihilate Russian ethics, vs giving Starlink to the Iranian civilians, so that they were not deaf to the global communication around them. Whether you accept my assertion that the protestors were not paid (and considering upwards of 70,000 or more of them were killed during the uprising) is somewhat immaterial.

Richard Whitney's avatar

I don't accept your number. I don't accept your assertion that they were peaceful protesters.

I understand that the Starlink receivers were given to the riot leaders so that the US could issue instructions and orders.

I understand that when Iran blocked the Starlink, the riots stopped.

Wow. I am really interested as to where you get your information on Iran. I have to assume that you’ve never watched Tousi TV, nor actually ever spoke to an Iranian civilian, either before the uprising in January, or after. The idea that you don’t view a radical Islamic fundamentalist regime that murders their own civilians (even women who do not wear their burkas correctly) as horrific oppressors, is somewhat amazing.

Maybe try locating and reading or listening to some of the Iranian diaspora. It might be compelling.

You know that I reject your assertions as untrue.

In any case, handing a Starlink to the Iranian diplomat was a massive slap in the face, don't you agree?

Excuse me, there is no ballot box. Sorry, my bad, you're cleared to continue focusing all your time and energy on your anti-Zionist views and the "slap in the face" that poor Iranian UN rep received! Your heart is so BIG, how does it even fit in your chest?!?

Richard Whitney's avatar

You are quite misinformed. Iranians have the internet and they vote for their legislators and the president.

Speaking of big hearts for the wrong people, I see that your heart bleeds for the Muslim terrorists in China, the Uyghurs.

I don't like Muslim terrorists, but the Uyghurs are not oppressed by China, even after they killed hundreds of Chinese in terrorist attacks.

They were given training, like the people on this blog always call for, in trade work, and jobs so that they would quit blowing up innocent people. The only people screaming about their "oppression" are US propagandists and the people who fall for it. Actual Muslims (not Wahhabists) checked it out and say it is a lie.

Delegations from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the World Muslim Communities Council visited Xinjiang, China, and subsequently endorsed Beijing's narrative, rejecting allegations of genocide

But your overlords always try to get your heart bleeding for Muslim terrorists, from the Afghan muhajadeen in the 80s, to the KLA Bosnian terrorists in the 90s, to the al Qaeda terrorists in Syria, and the Benghazi terrorists in Libya, who we were told we had to save from Ghaddafi, so the US/NATO destroyed Libya.

No. It is disgusting to see my rulers using Muslim terrorists as an excuse to attack and destroy countries.

I hadn't heard that, but I'm not surprised.

Id like to see a vaccine injury study on the Mrna vaccines that are given to our pets. After loosing 2 young German shepherds only a few months after their shots it seems that should be something to look at also.

mRNA is based on a failed canine/porcine "flu" vaxx. That didn't stop them from continuing to inject pigs since 2012.

Vet shots are euthanasia shots. Get yourself an ol' fashion country vet.

So sorry about your 2 pets. My latest rescue will never get another shot! I titer test now and even tho it may say a low and needs boosters, he is still immune. People need to do their research. Just like the explosive osteosacoma in dogs. Rabies vaccines used to be given behind the neck but that switched to the thighs. Hmmm....so many dogs having amputation because of the cancers. Makes me see red!!

I have no sympathy for any of the owners of the bar in western MA. They are part of the mentally deranged, delusional group they run with. However I give them kudos 👏 for all the laughs I still enjoy reading this story. Whew! My stomach hurts from laughing so much. 😅🤣😂 I do think it should be mandatory, that all who are part of that group of loons, they wear N-95 masks 24/7. It let's the rest of us know to avoid them as they are loons and I can't imagine this is an attractive group. So keep the masks on. Please. 🤣😅😂 Pop some popcorn 🍿

It really was a made for SNL skit, wasn’t it? Stretching the lunacy as far as they could for the script only none of them knew that it was comedy script-worthy. 🤣🤣

Definitely this could be turned into a comedic screenplay.

Jeff channeled to us a stage setting scripted by the story:

"...The article left readers with a haunting image: a 26-year-old who gave up her truck, her credit score, and two co-founders (one lost to the siren song of clown school) to run a free-Narcan lesbian bar, dancing solo in a respirator while the movement she built it for denounces her on Instagram..."

From a recent Dr. Tenpenny substack. This will make you want to vomit.

German zoophiles have taken to the streets in protest against laws that forbid sex with animals. According to the protesters, German citizens should have the right to engage in sexual relationships with animals, including pet dogs. Called Zoophiles, these perverted humans – both men and women - believe it’s acceptable to be sexually intimate with an animal, and they want the LGBTQ+ rainbow movement to add a Z to its name.

Please Lord Jesus, come!

Exactly Patti. No words. So our pets become sex toys. Vile.

They should add the Z. The more extreme they become, the faster they will burn out.

Lori's avatar

But in the meantime, animals are very injured and suffer. Until you see bleeding and/or prolapsed rectums in dogs with rectal tears inches long through their flesh and the pain they are in, the burn out faster is already too long for them to wait.

There is a vet in Miami jailed right now for 21 years bc he performed bestiality on clients dogs and filmed it, posted on bestiality websites and possessed child porn. He should be put to death. There is no place in the world where someone like that should breath. His name is Prentiss Madden. You can find the articles online. He is a subhuman POS that needs to die.

I can't even! Clearly, our society is but one step from judgement. We really need to bring back the death penalty for many many crimes with judgement swiftly carried out. No death row, just execution. But I know it's not going to happen. A Reckoning is coming however.

Lori's avatar

Agree with you 2000% Phil. These are the reasons that God flooded the earth and only saved Noah, his family and the animals. History repeating itself. I can't imagine how sad and disgusted God is over what He sees.

Politico Phil's avatar

Well, I know Christ now rules from His throne at the right hand of the Father and I know Psalm 2 and what that means. Judgement draws nigh.

I don't see a problem with that as long as it's gay sex only

Lori's avatar

As opposed to what other degenerate sex?

I could barely breathe the few times I was forced to wear one of those N-95 masks. I can't imagine why anyone would wear one voluntarily.
