Conservatism is about Control

CONSERVATISM CAN GO TO HELL

CONTROL your sex and love life.

CONTROL your ability to plan your family.

CONTROL and cut your Social Security benefits.

CONTROL access to safety net — pee in cup first.

CONTROL your religion — Christian rule over all.

CONTROL the news media — spread fear and hate.

CONTROL elections — block the poor from voting.

Conservatives OPPOSE our freedoms!
Republicans don’t want to just suppress our votes; they want to ensure they win no matter what! The voters be dammed!

The G O fucking P
Will not accept their comeupance from a ballot box
Only a jail cell
They must be rounded up before their trigger finger gets more than itchy
Garland, Biden take note!
Democrats Do it now
SUBPOENA him and move forward with CRIMINAL CONTEMPT.
Pass voting rights legislation.
Ban the Filabuster!

House Republican Jim Jordan suggests in letter he won’t cooperate with Jan. 6 committee, calling the investigation “far outside the bounds of any legitimate inquiry” — an arguments courts have rejected.
When these people say ‘the won’t cooperate’ with a Congressional investigation, they are really saying that they don’t accept or believe in the rule of law when it applies to them, nor in the legitimacy of our elected representation, that makes up our constitutional democracy.

Trump Would Reportedly Dial Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs Into Oval Office Staff Meetings

The ‘empty store shelves’ photos being posted by right wing influencers everywhere are a propagandist’s dream. Impossible to verify date or location, easily manipulated and doctored, impossible to disprove, depicting a global problem as a domestic failing.

Manchin is not a Democrat he is a Koch Puppet.
The great Jim Clyburn on Manchin’s insistence that a voting rights bill be bipartisan.“I am a Black person, descended of people who were given the vote by the 15th Amendment. The 15th amendment was not a bipartisan vote, it was a single party vote that gave us the right to vote.”

14th Ammendment A group of North Carolina voters have filed a lawsuit seeking to disqualify Madison Cawthorn from the 2022 ballot under the 14th Amendment, arguing that he supported an “insurrection or rebellion” by allegedly facilitating the attack on the Capitol.

Someone’s Dad . . .
So the voters can’t be trusted,
the poll workers can’t be trusted,
the voting machines can’t be trusted,
the media can’t be trusted,
Bill Barr can’t be trusted,
the guy who was in charge of election security can’t be trusted,
the lower courts can’t be trusted,
the appellate courts can’t be trusted,
and the Supreme Court can’t be trusted.
But Donald Trump can be trusted.
Roll that around in your head for about 3 minutes and realize how incredibly mind-bogglingly stupid that sounds.

ADL Slams Indiana State Senator: ‘There’s Nothing Neutral About Nazism’
The right-wing lawmaker told a history teacher that he must remain impartial when talking about Nazism to his students.
Sen. Scott Baldwin told history teacher Matt Bockenfeld that he doesn’t discredit Marxism, Nazism, fascism or “any of those isms out there.” Baldwin revealed his views about Nazism during a hearing on Indiana Senate Bill 167, which aims to quash any attempt to teach critical race theory.

“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear” – Trump, Feb., 2020

Anti-vax leader tells his followers that drinking their own pee will cure COVID-19: “The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy”

Ron DeSantis allowed a stockpile of more than 1 million COVID tests to expire and tried to cover it up. Why isn’t the media talking about this more?

Look, let me be frank. My initial covid infection did not require hospitalisation. Ergo it was “mild”. However, I have never recovered. 2 years later & I am nowhere near who I once was. My body & brain have sustained long term damage.
THAT is what Living With Covid looks like.

Dr Karen Schafheutle @KSchafheutle Jan 9
A gentle reminder that nobody was insane enough to suggest we should “learn to live with” smallpox, polio, measles or HIV.
We *live* with them because we found ways to control/manage/eradicate them safely.

Martin Graf @MG44Graf
I am pleading with anyone who will listen. I’m begging you, as a nurse, from the bottom of my heart please get vaccinated. Today. I’m so tired.And we’re running out of resources and people. Please help us. It’s been 2 years

Listen to Oakland students: “We must go back to distance learning until the cases go down again. In order to ensure a safe learning environment, we demand you give us KN95/N95 masks and weekly PCR testing. If these demands are not met we will be striking by not attending school.”

SEC Chair Gary Gensler is asked about the ConstitutionDAO and asked to explain why Ethereum isn’t a security yet Ripple is under investigation by the SEC.

THE METAVERSE

THE METAVERSE idea has developed since Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash” put the idea into broad circulation, and especially where it may be heading. There are all kinds of issues our societies will have to deal with as this develops: legal, technical, economic, and more.
For early context, don’t forget Vernor Vinge’s “True Names“, which pre-dates “Snow Crash” by over a decade (1979/80 vs 1992).

THE FED MEDIA BLACKOUT

The FED printed $7,000,000,000,000 in 2021 Exploding head
That’s 222K per second. Imagine a printer that prints over two thousand $100 bill per second

WALL STREET ON PARADE

WHY THE MEDIA BLACKOUT – COPY AND PAST THIS TO EVERYONE

Taxpayers Are on the Hook for 98 Percent of the Fed’s $6.98 Trillion Balance Sheet
If there has been any positive outcome from the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been that the American people are beginning to take a cold, hard look at how the U.S. economy has been engineered as a vast wealth transfer system for the one percent.
We have peeled back the dark curtain further today on how the Federal Reserve has been structured as an unlimited money spigot to enrich that one percent as it privatizes profits for the criminally-inclined Wall Street titans and socializes the losses to the law-abiding 99 percent of hardworking Americans.

These Are the Banks that Own the New York Fed and Its Money Button
The New York Fed has now pumped out upwards of $3 trillion in a period of 63 days to unnamed trading houses on Wall Street to ease a liquidity crisis that has yet to be credibly explained. In addition, it has launched a new asset purchase program, buying up $60 billion each month in U.S. Treasury bills. Based on the continuing escalation of its plans, it appears to be testing the limits of what the public will tolerate. We thought it was time to answer the question: who exactly owns the New York Fed and its magical money spigot that can pump trillions of dollars into Wall Street at the press of a button
