Lordy, it's quite a list an' the terse "hahahas" 'bout sum up the gamut of their emotions (from A to B Dorothy Parker style!)... Indeedy, they'ze laffin' all the way ta the bank... 'er to their bunkers (underground natch) cuz soonz gonna be time fer them rats ta scurry outta sight 'fore nukes / color-revolutions / dirty bombs an' oh yup, an alien invasions (projected in 3d5g holographic wunder upon our pre-treated sky-screen) fer our shock an' awe. No free popcorn... They'll watch us an have a good chuckle via their pre-vert peepholes...lookin' down on us...'er up mebbe if they'ze already underground. Yer list make me think of this old ditty...oh yup, it's all funny now...

Thanks Daisy. Been a bit out of touch of late, have to catch up on my fellow Substackers, I admit. “be-diapered blob've goose flesh that calls himself "President," PERFECT! :) Thanks for the Laughing Policeman! No doubt this is the age of the laughing “philanthropath.” Cheers, J

to 'them', still to this day, the only thing out of whack is 'us' with heads full of one crazy conspiracy theory after another...even if the 'theory' is proven to be Factual a few weeks or months later;

oh how i'd love to be living in blissful ignorance....even if it meant i could no longer afford to keep food for my children or a roof over their heads; "at least i told that lunatic ex-friend of mine where to go when he was trying to tell me this was going to happen";

"we still have the car to sleep in as long as the loan payments don't go up any further"; "come on kids, let's go down to the pedo haven at Salvo's and see what's for dinner tonight";

"look at all those people living in tents by the beach"..."don't they have cars to go to"?????.

John, this was EPIC!!!!

It is unfortunate that it is all true...or about to come true.

God help us.

I'm gonna print this out for posterity.

Thank you Duchess. It’s a bit of an arduous read, but I chose to capture the basic bones of it. I deliberately left out all the persecution we experienced, as I felt it detracted from the overall humour of the situation.

Once again, John has pithily summed up so much of what I've been feeling regarding the insanity of the last few years and the useful idiots who continue to facilitate it. This needs to be read and shared far and wide! People need to wake the hell up.

I was actually just listening to Quinn's Ideas (great writer/youtuber type) discuss "The Three Body Problem" sci-fi book series. Apparently, the story prominently features the idea of a "Mental Seal," a procedure that allows the wielder to instill in the mind of the patient a nigh-undeniable certainty concerning a designated idea. The unshakeable conviction that many hold concerning several clearly illogical, untrue, and deleterious ideas ("Jabs are safe and effective," "Men can become women"...) is so extraordinary that I've begun to seriously consider if something that like that isn't at play.

yup mee too (an' not Metoo "TM") -- SO much good stuff ta read so little time (cornball aside, the silver linin' is so many folks like us, arrivin' on this thin ice sans skates but speakin' our minds while tryin' ta avid frostbite an' bringin' our outsider / inside-out expurt-tease from left field makin' fer tonnes of interestin' readin, all takin' up time albeit worthily!) But yup, that's an' ol' chestnut (Music Hall style) that has that manic edge jovially captured--exactly like our philantropaths laffin' all the way ta the charnel house ta do their "head counts" -- I'm a fan of all them old "cwazy" songs of which there's quite the treasure trove 'fore the "music excecs" got involved ;-)
