Lost Another to Covid

I got a call late last night. Woke me up. A long-time close friend of mine had just died from Covid. This guy was a great guy. Dedicated family man. Father of three - the youngest being only a year old. He was a very heavy-set guy. 6'4", about 330 or more. He worked in aerospace enginering but had a degree in history. Very interesting conversations over the years with him. For many years we brewed beer together, played a lot of bad golf, and shared many adult beverages. I really loved this guy.

I mention it here because I'm curious if, at this point, anybody else here is fed up with China. Lost my dad. Now my buddy. We got Fauci and the President Beady-Eyed Sock Puppet running cover for them. The cost is un-f*&ing real at this point. I seem to have had a front-row seat to watching the world unvravel the past couple years. I'm gonna keep charging ahead and keep fighting. But, these things don't discourage me...only make me less docile. If we had handled China in an appropriate manner perhaps this wouldn't have been so bad. All the media was saying while Trump was starting to deal with this was "testing, testing, we need more testing". They should have been asking us to crop dust China with bleach. The place, based on what I've seen in my work, is the toilet of humanity. It's time humanity address this issue of every massive pandemic starting there. They don't have p-traps in a lot of their plumbing. They sit in the blood and guts when they slaughter chickens. People spit all over the place. Their public toilets are nightmarish. Hell - the Tianamen Square protestor I worked with at Boeing in 1990 (political asylum grandted by Bush 1) said they were still eating people there back then. Just a total shite-hole. Half a peg above N. Korea. And we cowtow to them. We do this to our own demise, it seems.

    China is evil, and China is stepping out of their hole. There is no doubt. They will take Taiwan within 5 years, if there is a weak administration, FOR SURE. Only idiots think China is misunderstood, and an ok government.

    We should have listened to McArthur at the end of WWII. 80 years later, we are dealing with what he knew we could fix right then. Two more wars after, and then preferred trading partner, we will have more than we can handle in under two decades.

      Just got done reading the Oxford history of the United States covering WWII. It doesn't go into great detail but talks about Chiang Kai-Shek's government during the period and how Roosevelt effectively threw them to the dogs to placate Stalin. The US wanted Russia to declare war with Japan because they thought it was necessary to get Japan to surrender without a total invasion of the Japanese home islands. But it also mentions that the Nationalist government was already waging a civil war against Mao's communists even during the war - as if fighting the Japanese wasn't enough. And when it came time to supporting the Nationalists (with supplies, etc.) vs Russia, Russia won out, further degrading the Nationalist government. Following the Japanese treaty, it was only a matter of time before the Nationalists fell - regardless the fact that Truman was in charge at that point.

      I'd be very careful about lionizing MacArthur, however. He was a WW II-era version of McClellan during the Civil War except that where McClellan was hamstrung because of his tentativeness in war, MacArthur was very much a "damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!" type who's cavalier attitude pressed for premature attacks and wasted lives so he could claim victory. He was very much a political blowhard all for that photo op of him wading up to the beach to his beloved Phillippines.

      That being said, MacArthur and Patton both had it right when they characterized the Russians as just another version of Hitler. Unfortunately, with Churchill getting tossed out in favor of Atlee and Roosevelt's death bringing an unprepared Truman in, there was no one with any intestinal fortitude to check Stalin as he took over Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and the other nations which would eventually be consolidated into the tyranny of the Eastern Bloc or USSR.

        One suggestion. The "Russians" were no more Hitler than Americans are Obama.
        Then it was the evil, power-hungry, murdering leaders in Russia, just as it has been in America for the past 100+ years.

        MacArthur led the attack on the 'Bonus Army' in Washington DC and deserved court martial
        and execution for that act, just as many of the current administration deserve trial and
        execution for treason for their more recent actions.

        DC is beyond salvage. Scuttle it.

          I don't disagree with your uynderlying premise but at that point in time, Stalin WAS Russia. He was a dictator and executed anyone who disagreed with him and anyone he suspected of being disloyal to him. During WW II, it was as simple as sending them to the Eastern Front as fodder for a German bullet. After the war was over he started sending them to the gulags. Stalin's reign of terror extended until his death in 1953. He is credited with slaughtering between 10 million and 20 million of his own people - including millions of Jews.

            Exactly. šŸ‘ The Russian people and the American people have more in common than differences.
            We should be allies, but our 'leaders' need to have us in fear and dependence on them.

        This is exactly what was planned -- have Russia spread Communism throughout Europe. The nations were working together (including FDR and the US) to spread communism. It worked beautifully. That is why we are where we are right now.

    First off , my sincere condolences for your losses. I also lost my mother my sister ( to the Jab) and a sister in law. Four extended family members have tested positive for China flu and they all had the trio Jabs. 2021 was a horrible year in many respects.

    ā€œChina China Chinaā€ I can hear our Ousted ā€˜Color Revolutionedā€™ President say.
    So hated he was , so many mean tweets about China. He should know China is the new America model. Nike does, Apple and Alphabet too. So does LeBrain James. What University or college did he graduate from again?
    Twitter knows more about the PCR testing than the scientist who helped develope it. Remember when twitsville blocked his hateful comments, stating that the test at 40 cycles will detect a wholly mammoth if you search for it and will show way to many false positives. The scientist obviously doesnā€™t ā€œtrust the true scienceā€ (what comes out of Fauciā€™s mouth). Any idiot should know you h@ve to wait till a five year old tells you the tests are bullshit. Oh like the FDA has recently admitted. ( I wonder if my 5 year old granddaughter could direct the FDA or CDC or WHO) She is a lot sharper than the Fauckhead and can manipulate me like no one has before.
    A side note , watch the FF brewing in Ukraine and a similar ā€œScareā€ from NKorea. Of course this will all be orchestrated by the criminals who ran the Color Revolution here. A hemp necktie is in store for many many TRAITORS. Yup, Gitmo wasnā€™t expanded dramatically to be shut down, in fact I hear the expanded court capacity is recently completed. Also the new pier can dock Two aircraft carriers or a couple of famous hospital ships that can easily be converted to prison ships can now fit.

      I agree. I posted elsewhere that the most recent home antigen kit I bought from CVS says "Made in China." Yep, brilliant marketing. I have no use for China. Time to say no.

    You have my condolences. In some ways, what we are living through is a worse hell than an Ayn Rand novel!

      Thank you Jim. And...I can't disagree. My buddy's widow called tonight and we talked for a couple hours. She's a fighter. She's very pro-liberty, pro-gun...has been put on a terror list, etc. She's a strong woman. Being a strong person who loves your kids is enough to be put on a list now. We were talking about how this feels like we're right on the cusp of being loaded on box cars at times. Terrible...

    I am so sorry for your losses, Abaco! Maybe 2022 will be the year we finally get smart and boot the idiots out of power here in the States so adults can make the tough choices.

    I do feel compelled to say that, as much as I am no fan of China, they will do to us what we allow. We have enemies of freedom right here within the United States -- Fauci springs immediately to mind -- who have funneled money and power to the ChiComs at every opportunity. It's the idiots in our own country whose loyalties and ideals are misplaced who do the most damage in my opinion.

    I wish the blame for the ills of our nation fell conveniently within one nation's borders but, in the case of this current nightmare, I blame our own home-grown idiots as well as the countries who mean us harm.

    My family and I have been very lucky and I'm grateful for that. I hope you and your family will come through the rest of this nightmare with no further losses. I always appreciate your posts here.

    Abaco, I am very sorry for your losses.
    Communist China (yes, that's who they dangerous as all hell really are) have poisoned this world in more ways than one.
    Not only did that shithole for a sick, twisted and an enslaving nation (with a traitor named Fauci's help with the Wuhan Lab funding of OUR money) launch a pandemic for a murserous biological attack, they
    have over the years like a creeping cancer corrupted our so-called "capitalist leaders" in big business~~now a military-industrial component of the control freak enslavers known as the Deep State
    The fact that Quid Pro Quo Beijing Joe allows Americans to participate in the Communist Chinese Winter Olympics turns this dino's stomach.
    BTW, during the Seventies the journalism school at Troy State University in Troy, Alabama, taught that you only describe an execution by a rope as a hanging or being hanged. Never use the word, "hung."
    Why am I now thinking of creepy Dr. Fauci? Not to mentions a whole bunch of American traitors who springs to mind.
    Troy no longer has a School of Journalism. That school has changed its name to "Communications." Hmm! Now why am I thinking of CNN?

    My prays, brother. The damage from the bug itself pales to the damage being done to our psyche and our civilization. Even if you don't get sick (I did, severely, I have 4 of the 5 major comorbidities) we are all being negatively affected in ways we may never recover. Our sovereignty, our liberty and freedoms, our Republic, all eroded, all damaged. And I say it was by design. Take note of the people who are getting the sickest and dying, the people the NWO want out of the way, the elderly, the infirm. In my State Massachusetts our governor refused to put the first infected into prepared and available quarantine units, he shipped them directly to the nursing homes where the Flu spread like wildfire. It was Genocide. Same Happened in New York and New Jersey. It was Murder. Let's not kid ourselves here.
    SARS-Cov-2 Is a chimera of three viruses: SARS-HIV-H1N1. Given SARS and HIV are "novel viruses" meaning they never existed before (1980 for HIV, 2003 for SARS) Virus Experts say it would have taken 400 years for the three to have combined naturally, if ever.
    We have a potentially civilization ending problem on our hands with this Gain-of-Function" research going on, not just in China, but all over the world. No less than 500 universities in the USA are being funded to do bits and pieces of this deadly work. But when it all comes together they ship it off to Wuhan to do the most dangerous part of final process. As do most other nation-states.
    Just to give you an idea of the perilous state of our existence. Ebola, Marberg, HIV, SARS, MERS, Lyme are all "novel". The Russians have weaponized an unnamed virus they claim to have a 100% kill rate.
    What we really need to be asking is why in Gods name are we allowing these weapons to be developed in the first place? The 40-year lie Fauci has been pushing: to prepare for a pandemic was dismal failure, if we were to believe him (I don't) He was and is being paid to develop weapons of mass death. Unlike a nuclear bomb, the damage is not limited to some set parameter. Thanks to jet air-travel a deadly pathogen can circle the globe in days.

    I respectfully disagree. I have in laws in China and it is not all what you describe. there is a burgeoning middle class with very modern appliances, autos and all the tech we have. yes, there is still the country with it's share of poverty. Yes, the population is politically brainwashed. But it is a hybrid system. Not purely central control not totally free market. I caution against painting the picture with a single brush stroke or color, it is a bit more complex than that.

    Regarding the c-virus we really should call it the Fauci virus. He transferred the research to Wuhan and gave them our tax dollars to help with gain of function research.

    There is plenty of criminal behavior to go around here, we need to start here first. Let the law suit and indictments begin.

    Unfortunately, most do not die "from" Covid; they die "with" Covid. If they had gotten the correct medical treatment (hydroxy & Ivermectin), they would be fine. They next China Virus is Small pox. Wait for it; coming with the olympics.

    So sorry to hear this, Abaco! You've had a really tough time with Covid. So much more could have been done, and so many lives could have been saved.

    We have know a couple who died form supposed covid19, but were obese and not in good health. What is troublesome, we have known several in their 40s and 50s who died a day or two after the vax, previously healthy, just dropped dead, either of brain or cardio clots. One of our friends lost both of his younger brothers that way. It has all been since Christmas!

    China isnt a "communist" country. Its a dictatorship of power, with its citizens unwilling use their brains to get rid of it.. We should consider it an enemy and try to deprive it of as much power as we can. To do that we must be strong and not waste our country on stupidity like critical race theory and nonsense like that.. Biden and the leftists have made OUR government OUR enemy, and I cant wait until its rendered at least divided enough to at least do nothing.

    You can make book that President Trump would have had a plan to make the Chicoms accountable for the deliberate acts up to, and after the release of the Wuhan virus. He listened to Doc Falsi coverup the role we had in providing info and funding to the lab, and it cost him the presidency.

    Trump warned us about China but we, as a country, wouldn't listen. Instead he, and those who agree with him, we're labeled as racist and hateful people. The democrats and their allies in the got the most pro China democrat elected as President...

    I do not have much hope for the future if the country.

    So sorry to hear. Since this started C, D, Zinc, Quercitin, and thieves oil. Been surrounded lately by covid infected family. Fingers crossed but weā€™re still ok.

      This is pretty much my cocktail. I also consume about three grams of L-argenine each morning. My wife introduced thieves oil to us years ago and it's a key component...as odd as that sounds. It's certified/approved to kill covid on contact as a cleaner in other countries. Go figure... In America we are expected to kneel to the almight God Pharma for everything. It's killing us and destroying a generation of young men.

    I am so sorry to hear about your friend, Abaco. That you lost family and friend to this same recombined pile of virus is horrible. Things just get worse each day everywhere in the world, and for some unfathomable reason the powers that be in this country insist on squandering our hard-earned blood and treasure everywhere except here. I put the losses you have suffered directly on the heads of those in power whose policies are destroying us and those in power who let those policies slide into being. My heart goes out to you, and my hopes that things are going to improve.
