Miles and Miles of Editorial Oversight: The Good Kings by Kara Cooney (Published by National Geographic)

This one is a doozy

The blurb about the books starts to give us a hint about the mind of the author”

In a new era when democracies around the world are threatened or crumbling, best-selling author Kara Cooney turns to five ancient Egyptian pharaohs–Khufu, Senwosret III, Akenhaten, Ramses II, and Taharqa–to understand why many so often give up power to the few, and what it can mean for our future.

So, this is not just about Ancient Egypt but modern politics and then, maybe how White Supremacism is like the cruel pharaohs of ancient times?

How can you even write it down in the first place? The videos and photos of the Rittenhouse shooting were out a couple of days after the event in August of 2020. The book’s date of publication is November 2021, so the only reason Ms. Cooney “made” the mistake was because she heard a narrative, took it as the Word from the Heavens and rather than double check, she just went with it and put it in her book.

But wait, there is more and this one is another historical boondoggle:

Again, was this ignorance or political narrative? I do not mind a teacher writing a book with political themes, but a bit of truth must remain in it to be taken seriously. But in the era of TikTok and immediate gratification via smartphone, an old line from another book rings true:

“Who controls the past controls the future
1984 -George Orwell

And sure as hell it is not our side writing the history books, or even tweets. They know their lies will be taken as Gospel and spread through the nation.

Use the state DOJ to go after the children of your political enemy while letting you totally guilty buddy off the hook.

Banana Republic…

Explain this to me about January 6th

Exclusive: Secret Commandos with Shoot-to-Kill Authority Were at the Capitol

Sunday, January 3, the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams met in Quantico, Virginia, to go over potential threats, contingencies, and plans for the upcoming Joint Session of Congress. The meeting, and the subsequent deployment of these shadowy commandos on January 6, has never before been revealed.

Jeffrey A. Rosen, the acting Attorney General on January 6, made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department and so-called “national” forces. There was no formal request from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Secret Service, or the Metropolitan Police Department—in fact, no external request from any agency. The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special operations forces lurking behind the scenes.

The contingency units meeting on January 3 included the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, the FBI’s national “Render Safe” team, an FBI SWAT team from the Baltimore Field Office, Special Response Teams from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group.

All of these assets were “pre-deployed” and ready to go over the weekend of January 2-3, staging out of the FBI Academy complex in Quantico, 30 miles south of the Capitol building.

On the morning of January 6, most of these forces staged closer to downtown Washington, particularly after intelligence was received indicating a possible threat to FBI headquarters building or the FBI’s Washington Field Office.  

FBI tactical teams arrived on Capitol Hill early in the day to assist in the collection of evidence at sites—including the Republican and Democratic party national headquarters—where explosive devices were found. FBI SWAT teams and snipers were deployed to secure nearby congressional office buildings. Other FBI agents provided selective security around the U.S. Capitol and protection to congressional members and staff.

The presence of these extraordinary forces under the control of the Attorney General—and mostly operating under contingency plans that Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police were not privy to—added an additional layer of highly armed responders.

Let me get this straight:

The AG filled the basement of the Capitol with heavily armed and trained DOJ trigger pullers ready to lay waste to everyone who broke into the Capitol, but didn’t feel the need to use them.

But…

The protesters who broke into the Capitol were violent and deadly insurrectionists who almost destroyed our democracy in an attempted coup?

If the protesters really were that much of a threat wouldn’t the DOJ trigger pullers gone upstairs and pulled some triggers?

It’s almost Ike J6 was no threat at all but the Democrats and media need to maintain the narrative that it was 9/11 Pearl Harbor Reichstag Fire for political purposes.

 

Always be prepared everywhere

In case you missed it, some 50 miles of I-95 in Virginia was/is shut down due to snow.  People have been stuck in their cars since yesterday.

It’s winter out there.

Do you have blankets or a sleeping bag in your car?

Maybe a couple of chemical warmers so you don’t have to run your car for hours?

A shovel to dig yourself out of snow?

A flashlight (or several)?

Or are you commuting to work not realizing that your normal drive might take nearly a day because of weather and shitty government disaster response?

You may have your bug-out bag at home, you may have pockets full of EDC, but are you prepared if your car is stuck?

Keep that in mind.

 

We are getting lapped by El Salvador

This is how their government is fighting COVID deaths:

This is what we should have done 18 months ago when it became clear that COVID was really only harmful to people under 70 who had severe preexisting conditions and/or obese.

But Big Pharma doesn’t own gyms and gyms don’t own politicians, so our gyms were closed, fast food was deemed “essential,” and we were told to stay home, watch Netflix, wear sweat pants on Zoom meetings, and take a shot (and another, and a booster) to fight COVID.

El Salvador has demonstrated that despite being the home to one of the world’s most deadly and profitable narcotics gangs, it’s less corrupted by drug money than the United States has been by Pfizer, J&J, and Moderna.

Does it come with Fa**ot-Card or Pole-Smoker Express?

And it seems it is not some sad homophobic joke.

Maricon is the ultimate homophobic insult against a Gay of the male persuasion. Somebody must have grabbed a bunch of unsuspecting White Liberals and sold them in the concept of Maricon being just another word in Spanish for Gay and the push the Maricoin crypto-currency angle which everybody is trying to do now.

I can tell you right now that this crypto will not go far into the Latino markets, even among the Hispanic Gay community. I can foresee somebody in Little Havana asking if he can pay with Maricoin and then waking up in Jackson Memorial’s ICU.
