The COVID Lie, Climate Change, Understanding Marx and Lenin

“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

Good morning from the top of the world; I’m trying a new mountain blend coffee from New Mexico; it’s rather tasty.  My wife is slumbering; my dog is outside; the coffee maker is bubbling.  I’m the most blessed man you will encounter today.

Ok, here we go, from the news desk, “Biden predicts business will be in a bind for some time due to labor shortage.”   Yeah, Joe, when you pay people to stay home, it’s hard for businesses to pay them to get off their asses and do something in exchange for money.

“Delta variant threatens to upend U.S. economic recovery.”  Um, no, this is not true, the cases are going wild, but we are looking at 300 deaths a day; it seems if you get vaccinated, you can get COVID, but your symptoms will be mild. So do we care if someone gets the flu?  We do not, but when someone dies from the flu, that’s newsworthy.

The evolution of the COVID story is fascinating; use the crisis as long as you can.  I feel sorry for people who watch the mainstream news and get fed the lies and mistruths; alternative news offerings show the actual data, facts and portray a far different reality than the fear-based news porn you get from traditional media outlets.

I remember during Russia Gate a few folks sharing Rachal Maddow’s spin on the breaking news.  It turns out she’s not even news; she’s a liar, most of us knew that, but there were people that fell for her daily stream of bullshit. So turn off the television and turn on youtube; unbiased reporting of the facts exists; if you need help finding it, let me know.

Climate change, that’s the next big fear tool.  CNN is on record as saying when the pandemic wanes; this is their next big play.  I listen to NPR, not that I trust this organization, they lie more than most, but I like to hear how they spin things.  They had on Dr. Faccui yesterday, and he’s recommending everyone start masking up, we need to shut the economy back down, etc.  I’ve said it before; I’ll repeat it, Faccui is an asshole.

But climate change is the next thing they will use to scare the living shit out of people who don’t take the time to learn the facts.  Is climate change real? I think so, but if you want to destroy our economy while China and India continue their mass pollution programs, we have to compete on a global level.  Sorry, Alexandra, windmills will not save us from carbon emissions.

Some ask, are you angry, are you mad, and I’m not either.  I’m a happy, joyful person watching the manipulation of facts and wonders who is buying these stories of the click bate bullshit peddlers.  The ratings of most of these outlets are in the trash; CNN has just awoken and launched a streaming platform; I predict a massive failure, their lies are not going to play well with the informed internet generation.

I need to run; I have a meeting in 19 minutes, a review, and then head down the hill; we have a new opportunity with a business in Arvada.  I’ll do a little research on their firm looking for OSHA and DOT violations, a good start for a risk management discussion.

Please use your mind and don’t believe everything you hear.  The massive spending proposed by the government will lead to increased inflation, and it will hurt the people.  Allow the economy to recover naturally and stop paying people to stay home.  I’m going on record that the next 18 months will be a shit show propagated by bad policy and bad decisions. So join me in grabbing some Billy Beer and laughing as socialism and communism get put on full display and rational fiscal policy returns like a bullet.
