Overwork. According to the WHO, overwork kills more than 745,000 people a year.

Capacity limits in restaurants ended in Florida around November. Are any restaurants in the free state of Florida still limiting capacity because of the “pandemic”? Just one that I know of: Miller’s Ale House, which has many locations around Florida and some locations in other states. First I thought it was just the location near me. Then I experienced the same thing at another location: 8 empty tables visible, but a 15 minute wait. When I inquired about this, I was told that there were no servers available. Then I was told the same thing the next time I tried to give this business my money. When I went to another location and experienced the exact same thing and inquired further I was told by a manager that capacity was being limited because of Covid. Needless to say, I again went somewhere else. Not even my local ultra-CDC loving McDonalds limits its capacity any more. Hey restaurants: Most of your customers want all the Covid nonsense to end, including the masks you force your wait staff to wear.

Savor this report of a trip to South Dakota for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in which nary a mask appears and COVIDCon is the year’s biggest joke! Added bonus: 700,000 attendees have the usual suspects’ pants in a wad over their “superspreader” event!

Thanks to Michael for sending the first link and Bill Martin for the second. 

The legends and mythology that originated in the American West have captured the imagination of generations. Some of those stories have actual historical figures as their inspiration. The History Guy remembers Bass Reeves, John Reynolds Hughes, and more forgotten history of the Wild West. It is history that deserves to be remembered. And be sure to watch below the two pilot TV episodes of The Lone Ranger with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

In 1914, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia proclaimed the country dry, in a move reflective of a new era of warfare. Despite the hopes of tsarist Russia, prohibition there ended even worse than it did in the United States. This historical information is absolutely fascinating, a significant factor I had never considered. Deserves much more research and analysis.

“Forget COVID Testing,” says a blogger in a post that Bill Martin sent. “I want mandated IQ testing for our ‘experts.’” When they fail, can we quarantine ’em?

And Dave from Canada forwarded an article headlined, “Authorities warn of venomous snake loose in North Texas town.” Dave wonders whether “Fowchee’s” paying a visit.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.  During the Reagan administration the late William Niskanen, who was on the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, caused a giant sh*t storm in D.C. when he testified at a congressional hearing that, in his opinion, most of what the federal government spent money on was unconstitutional.  The Left went nuts, outraged that Niskanen ignored how they had spent the previous half century sabotaging all constitutional limits on federal powers by de facto “amending” the constitution through case law.  As Judge Napolitano wrote in The Constitution in Exile, not a single federal law was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court from 1936 to 1995.

This was Alexander Hamilton’s constitution, such as it is.  After the Constitution was ratified Hamilton condemned it as “a frail and worthless fabric” because it did not essentially establish a roadmap for the constitutional rubber stamping of unlimited federal power.  He smeared Jefferson and his theory of strict construction of the Constitution as “symptoms of a pygmy mind.”   He spent the rest of his life constructing that roadmap of constitutional subersion with elaborate and dishonest theories about “implied powers” hidden in the constitution, the lie that the states that delegated powers to the central government to act as their agent were not sovereign, the lie that the interstate commerce clause of the constitution provides the authority for unlimited government regulation of all commerce, and more.

The next several generations of Hamiltonian statists used this lawyerly subterfuge in the courts and in politics to create the massively-corrupt welfare/warfare state that we taxpayers all slave under, confiscating one-third to one-half of all income and regulating, regimenting, and controlling almost all other areas of economic life and beyond, making America more than half socialist.

Such Hamiltonian bloat is never enough for totalitarians, of course, because there are still pockets of freedom hanging by a thread as the vestiges of constitutional liberty.  We are still armed and platforms such as LewRockwell.com have not yet been censored, for example.  The position of today’s Left is that all such freedoms must be destroyed.  They no longer play the game of citing perverted constitutional case law.  They condemn the constitution as a whole as a racist document written by racist slave owners and they intend to fully ignore it.  They are in control of all of the weaponry of the federal government, and they will use it if we stand in their way on the road to totalitarianism, the constitution be damned.

Senile Joe made this perfectly clear two days ago when he publicly stated that yes, the Supreme Court has recently ruled that the bureaucrats at the CDC have no legal authority to mandate the outlawing of the eviction of renters for not paying rent.  It is illegal and unconstitutional, he said, but “we” are “going to do it anyway and see what happens.”

The Hamiltonian constitution has been thrown under the bus and in its place are the policies and practices of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and all other totalitarian communist idols of today’s American Left.  The only question is how long the senile, demented, perpetually-confused and tongue-tied puppet who illegitimately occupies the White House will be the official spokesman for the new totalitarian communist regime in Washington.

CDC’s Rochelle Walensky is peddling misinformation based on skewed data, but don’t expect America’s media or social media to object.

Who would be surprised?

Would a white rose be enough to persuade you to take the jab?

Wondering how folks who are less supine than Americans are taking to The Jab?

Ahem. They’re not.

Folks worldwide are rebelling against it with verve and esprit. For example,

Two vaccination centres have been ransacked in France, as people protested against the introduction of tougher coronavirus rules.

One site in south-east France was vandalised and flooded using fire hoses …, authorities said.

A day later, another clinic in the south-west was partially destroyed by an arson attack, local media reported.

And Poland, where only half the serfs have volunteered for the New World Order’s shots,

…said it was stepping up security at vaccination points following two arson incidents overnight in a single town and an attempt by anti-vaccine activists to break into another.

Meanwhile, Pakistanis

hold polio vaccine workers with distrust after the CIA carried out fake vaccination drive to nab Al Qaeda terrorist Osama Bin Laden who was hiding in Pakistan’s Abbottabad.

In two separate attacks on polio vaccination teams in Pakistan, a police officer escorting one of the teams was killed while another officer escorting another team was injured. As per reports, on Monday, a gunman shot dead a police officer who was assigned to protect the polio vaccination team. The incident took place in Kolachi area of Dera Ismail Khan district.

Thanks to Steve, who alerted me to these encouraging developments. And if they don’t hearten you, perhaps a stirring anthem will. Ms. Anonymous sent 

a new music video by Five Times August, whose YouTube page says the music is created by singer/songwriter/guitarist Bradley James Skistimas of Dallas. He has dedicated the song to “All Those Fighting for Truth & Freedom.” It uses footage from the many large protests around the world over the past year. The shots feature some of the slogans that protesters have marched with, such as “Freedom Over Fear,” “No Medical Apartheid,” “No More Censorship,” “No Vaccine Passports” [and] “The Mask Is Stupid.”

I’m not much for modern noise, but even I was blinking back tears when this paean concluded!

Here’s some clear-eyed medical information on vaccines; thanks to Monnie for sending this my way.

However, we need to shift the discussion from whether The Jab helps or hurts to whether the government should meddle in medicine. Ask your friends where their governor went to med school—and if they respond that he’s merely repeating advice from “Public Health,” ask why such a department even exists. Haven’t they heard of Josef Mengele?

When did Americans decide that incompetent bureaucrats and politicians should stand between them and their doctors? You can also request that believers in “Public Health” show you the Constitutional language authorizing such a travesty.

Then you can go on to argue against all political interference in medicine, from the VA to Obummercare!

Weary serfs around the world sigh for release from their masks. Those of us in the trenches urge them to toss that infernal uniform and join us in fighting the totalitarians. But until such time as we defeat the rulers of this present darkness, their victims must free themselves. Alas, far too few of them ever realize that they not only can but should. Simply ditch the diaper and declare, “I will not be ruled!”

Meanwhile, the War’s dangers increase as the enemy adds shots to those compulsory uniforms. Herewith, reports from the Patriots struggling against this evil.

Vinnie Terranova in California laments that

There are people out here who still cover their faces in spite of not having to. But I’m hearing they plan to resume masking in the next couple of weeks. You know. New and more deadly strains…..of mind control.

Not only do uniforms separate the Masked from the Free, but so does knowledge of this fact.

TimmyTaes summarized the propaganda–sorry, news broadcast in his corner of that same state one evening a week or two ago: (more…)

Netflix’s $50 million man wants you to pay for his new presidential library bigger than Saddam’s palace.

Well not yet, Ted. Nb: some delusional but typically conservative history.

Obviously, and of course big and powerful interests will be fine. Unfortunately the rest of the interview is a very mixed bag at best.

Hackers have attacked and shut down the IT systems of the company that manages COVID-19 vaccination appointments for the Lazio region surrounding Rome, the regional government said on Sunday.

As Steve, who forwarded this scintillating story, said, “We need a lot more of this type of activity.”

At the Wisconsin State Fair. Endanger your health and take a risky shot that is not a vaccine just to get a cream puff? No doubt many will do it.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, says “he regrets signing a ban on mask mandates in schools as he asks the state legislature to reverse the decision.”

Please read this heroic authoritative statement of resistance from Senator Rand Paul.  James Otis, John Adams, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson would be very proud of their forthright libertarian progeny. We can be sure that a former congressman from Lake Jackson, Texas is,

Today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report on Dark Clouds: Biden Pushes China-Style ‘Social Credit’ System, was one of the most enlightening and frightening of Dr. Paul’s and Daniel McAdams’ programs. It forcefully addresses what I believe to be one of central issues of our time, something I have been warning against for several years.

On January 6 at the Nation’s Capitol we saw a dramatic escalation of the Strategy of Tension to further divide and polarize America. It will promptly provide the pretext for increased draconian police state terror and invasive surveillance against our citizens. Again, as I have been again and again warning for a long time, what we have been seeing played out on the streets of America, particularly in large Blue State metropolitan areas and dense urban cities is classic planned chaos and the “Strategy of Tension.”

Unable to dislodge Donald Trump by the Russiagate hoax or the malicious soft coup impeachment process, his sworn enemies, using COVID-19 as their pretext, have turned to the destruction of the economy by repressive lockdowns, creating mass unemployment and annihilation of small businesses, thus fracturing civil society. Elite elements within the Democrats, Big Tech, the deep state, and their complacent, compliant regime media pawns, turned to an age-old psy/war strategy wielded as an ax against President Trump, insidiously using the weaponized corpse of the slain George Floyd as the initial rationale for these riots and insurrections. You can be sure they will now utilize the slain military veteran Ashli Babbit as their new prop. The result would be implementation of Continuity of Government protocols and, in the name of “police reform,” the nationalization/federalization of all state and local police law enforcement. We have already seen the tyrannical national expansion of the Capitol police under the control of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The willfully ignorant nihilistic mobs and savage looters are simply acting as pawns, the unwitting tools of the deep state “strategy of tension” 2021 in creating the pretext for the elite’s technocratic New World Order of digital, Social Credit Scoring economy and centralized political total control in a totalitarian corporatist entity, with all pervasive mass surveillance by facial recognition databases and coercive regimentation. These actions are running parallel with the transition to a cashless society with all financial transactions via a credit/debit card or “electronic purse” monitored through biometric identification using such technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning.

Historically there has been a symbiotic correlation relationship between agent provocateur groups, infiltration by police informers, and the counter-terrorism forces of the deep state. The repressive security state has molded and used such witting (or unwitting) terrorist pawns or drones in covert activities to create a “strategy of tension” to instill fear and consolidate repressive power and control which would enhance strident calls for more intense police repression and clandestine surveillance of its subject general population, particularly Trump supporters who will now be classified and targeted as seditious insurgents and domestic terrorists. With countless decades of real-world experience and clinical research, masters of psychological warfare and mind control, expert manipulators and programmers have worked to perfect this strategy.

The above documentaries are an excellent historical retrospective on the topic, particularly as the US moves closer to the imposition of martial law and nationalization of police, toward implementation of further draconian deep state counter-intelligence psywar and surveillance operations under the usurper Biden regime.

Actually the deep roots of these neo-fascist seditious policies go back even further, as do their explicit key linkages to American military and counter-intelligence entities, which may in fact have played a crucial role in the November 22, 1963 coup d’état and brutal murder of President John F. Kennedy. Both the European personnel and their American counterparts actively discussed the implementation of domestic coup strategies in their respective countries. These were the Europeans directly responsible for later implementation of the Strategy of Tension violence/terror campaign of bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, and horrific murders of innocent civilians throughout that continent.

Please check out pages 138 to 152, “Del Valle, Giannettini, and the Strategy of Tension,” in Peter Dale Scott’s seminal book on the JFK assassination, Dallas ’63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House. 

In his distinctive military uniform, Charles de Gaulle towered above the other heads of state attending the November 25, 1963 funeral of the murdered president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The 6’ 5” French leader, himself the subject of numerous assassination and coup attempts, later told key aides who he believed was responsible for the death of JFK. It was the American deep state.

Charles de Gaulle’s information minister Alain Peyrefitte, wrote a 2002 book which was never translated into English entitled C’etait de Gaulle (About de Gaulle). In it the French president, just home from JFK’s funeral, confides to Peyrefitte that he knew that the CIA was behind the assassination.

What happened to Kennedy is what nearly happened to me. His story is the same as mine. . . The security forces were in cahoots with the extremists. . . But you’ll see. All of them together will observe the law of silence. They will close ranks. They’ll do everything to stifle any scandal. They will throw Noah’s cloak over these shameful deeds. In order not to lose face in front of the whole world. In order to not risk unleashing riots in the United States. In order to preserve the union and to avoid a new civil war. In order to not ask themselves questions. They don’t want to know. They don’t want to find out. They won’t allow themselves to find out.

In his powerful and definitive biography, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of the American Secret Government, David Talbot details this searing assertion. See this three part summary of this statement: here, here, and here.

To many French citizens, Charles de Gaulle, was the greatest embodiment of France since Napoleon. Upon his November 9, 1970 death President Georges Pompidou simply said: “Le général de Gaulle est mort; la France est veuve.” (“General de Gaulle is dead. France is a widow.”)

So many of LRC’s readers have flooded my in-box with the news of liberty’s stunning triumph in Alberta, Canada, that I presume everyone’s heard about it. But in case you haven’t, Patrick King, “a proud father of 2, Freedom Fighter and Patriot … took on the powerful government in Alberta” regarding COVIDCon “and WON!”

How did he pull off this miracle? He

represented himself in court after being fined $1200 dollars for protesting against the Covid-Hoax …

He issued a subpoena to the Provincial Health Minister for proof that the so-called Covid-19 Virus exists, and they were forced to admit that they had no evidence whatsoever. The virus has never been isolated, and thus the government had no legal grounds to impose any of the punishing restrictions they have inflicted on society.

Voila! Complete and well-deserved victory!

…the Province has since rescinded all Covid-Restrictions and now officially treats Covid-19 as nothing more than a mild flu! 

We can duplicate his strategy! And remember, not only is there no virus, there is no test that measures cases, either.

I’m sorry I can’t join Liberty Counsel’s Walkout next Wednesday, but as I’m self-employed, my boss isn’t requiring a Jab. Nonetheless, Roger Mitchell has a solution for folks in my situation: a “Declaration of Freedom” that we can sign and send to “political officials, health boards, school boards, and any other entities or persons who have influence” over COVIDCon’s lunacy. This “Declaration” “tell[s] them in no uncertain terms where you stand[:]

• No More Lockdowns!  
• No More Mask Mandates!   
• No Mandatory Covid “Vaccines”! 
• No “Vaccine” Passports
• No More Lies! No More Lies!! No More Lies!!!”

Download and print the pdf here. 

The folks at Liberty Counsel are calling for a “walkout” next Wednesday to protest this dreadful abuse:

Spread the word. Organize WalkOutWednesday in your area on August 11 at noon in your time zone. Employers, businesses, schools, medical facilities, or public places trying to force COVID shots on employees, students, or patrons must hear from you. Walk out at noon on August 11 and gather outside to peacefully protest these mandates.

. . . and literally sing about it for all the world to hear, calling the author of the song a “great socialist” and a “radical” communist.  Just like themselves.

I know, I know, you’re probably saying: “No kidding.  Tell me something I don’t know.”  But no, I mean he was literally a bastard, as a new book by historian Howard Ray White proves well enough to convince Clyde Wilson.  That’s one more thing Lincoln has in common with Alexander Hamilton.

Is there anything Americans have been taught in the government schools about their “Father Abraham” that is not a lie?
