Inflation is even affecting will, it's not longer free.

Europe is showing some videos of people getting sick of the protestors who block traffic, and just throwing them off the road.  They should probably add more violence but otherwise it's fine.

In the clips I've seen, it's strange how the protestors don't even move.  They're completely convinced that no car will run into them but completely useless for anything else.  These are young, presumably healthy people, they're not hurt by being dropped a couple feet to the ground, yet they just lie there where they landed.  Not even sitting, much less standing, much less trying to go after the guy who throws them away.

The only thing I can think if is that they're just so shocked about not getting everything they want - especially given that what they want is to interrupt other people's lives - that they're stunned into immovability.  How can anyone get to a point where any pretense of competence is gone in times of stress and you're just a human vegetable?

□ [“Britain’s Top Virus Adviser:  Country Facing 'Prolonged Period' of Deaths Not Due to Covid, But Because of Lockdowns"]

Yes, we know.  When you lock people up, they can't have access to medical care.  That's why leftists all across the world want to have government-controlled healthcare, remember?  They've said we need to be more like Britain for this very reason.

But notice this gives them an excuse to ignore the vaccine they forced on everyone.  Can't say it was the vaccine that killed you if we forbid all medical care for you in the first place.

They got to go a few months without being forced to put cloth on their faces but that's over now.  They were all vaccinated but that doesn't mean anything compared to the cloth.

I do give the military a lot of leeway.  They're government property so there aren't many options.  I was given a ton of shots during my ten years and if I was still there, I'd have been fully-vaccinated without hesitation.  The vaccine itself is a problem but for most people, getting it probably wouldn't be a big deal.  Not saying it's a good thing but like it or not, most soldiers get used to it.

But this...  This is humiliation just for the sake of humiliation.  Who do they think is going to put up with this?  The strongest military in history is already having serious problems getting enlistment and re-ups, this will drive them away in larger numbers and much more quickly.  Not to mention all the medical damage our rulers have caused.

Well, the enormous disaster I've been hoping for won't be coming soon, near as I can tell anyway.  Democrats side with the business owners, not the workers or unions.  Government imposes its will and everyone just has to suffer.  They will force people to work against their will.  It's possible many workers will quit as soon as they get their back-pay but who knows?

No idea what's going to happen now, other than that things will get worse and misery will grow.  That's how our masters want it and they set the rules.

□ [“Has Ukraine's Army Been Reduced By Almost 50%?"]

Haven't been hearing much about the Russia/Ukraine thing for a while.  I still see reports that Ukraine is always winning, Russia is totally defeated just like always, but those seem few and far-between these days.  Granted I don't pay much attention to whatever news there is, but several months ago, you couldn't avoid hearing about it, but now...?

We're still nearing winter and although Ukraine probably goes through it too, Russia's experience of wars during winter is much... bigger.  Their rulers have always had to keep track of what's going on in Siberia and their military has had to train for that.  So we can assume that Ukraine's cross-the-board victories will continue just as they have been.

Did they ever get any air-power back or are the skies still completely in Russia's control as they've been all this time?  That one still gets me, how the hell can you believe the media reports on Ukraine whipping Russia off the face of the earth without an airforce?  And if they have one, where is it?

Also worth noting that, not that we'd hear about this if it happens, but Russia doesn't seem to be getting supplies and equipment from China, Iran, North Korea or its other allies the way Ukraine is being funded by NATO, an organization it's never even bothered to join.  Now that seems quite strange.  If the situation was so bad for Russia, wouldn't they be getting help from their allies?  If nothing else, hasn't Russia long-since run out of ammo, food, fuel for its tanks, etc. like we've been told all this time?

Or are they waiting for the real war to start before they get involved?
