Roundup
Here we go again – too much news to do each bit justice. So some links and short discussions are in order.
(1) Inflation is high, as even CNN seems willing to admit, although it obviously pains them. Inflation is the sort of thing that voters notice, for obvious reasons.
(2) The CEO of Southwest Airlines has now announced that employees who refuse to be vaccinated will not be fired. That’s interesting, and seems to represent a change. He also denies that any flights were canceled because of the vaccine mandate – that is, he says there’s “no evidence” for it, which is not exactly the same thing.
(3) As part of the DOJ war against parents protesting woke education for their children, an altercation and arrest in Loudon Virginia was cited as though some guy just decided to get unruly for no particular reason. Now it’s come out that the guy in Virginia who got arrested at the school board meeting – Scott Smith – was actually enraged because he alleges his ninth-grade daughter had been raped in a school bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt (in other words, a biologically male student claiming to be a girl). See Ace for the details of the story., but the gist of it is that the man was dragged out and arrested, and that the school board covered up and denied evidence that his allegations were true. Loudon parents have demanded the school board chairman resign, as well.
(4) How Mark Zuckerberg influenced the 2020 election.
(5) Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections by Mollie Hemingway came out yesterday. The reviews there are split (predictably) between those on the right who love it, and those on the left who say it’s all lies. There’s also a summary of the book available if you’re pressed for time.
And all of that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The Loudon rundown:

As far as “How Mark Zuckerberg influenced the 2020 elections” goes, that should be fixed to “How Mark Zuckerberg helped steal the 2020 elections”…
Here’s an astonishing and outrageous piece of “Russiagate” reportage from Matt Taibbi—an extraordinary scoop that essentially demolishes the entire Mueller investigation and its odious practitioners in one fell swoop (with Part 2 on the way)…
“Konstantin Kilimnik, Russiagate’s Last Fall Guy, Speaks Out”
https://taibbi.substack.com/p/konstantin-kilimnik-russiagates-last
H/T Powerline blog.
Also of interest is the fact that last week’s black school shooter (Timothy Simpkins of Arlington) was released on bond ($75,000), while Kyle Rittenhouse was released only after his attorneys posted bail of 2 million. The left will claim that Simpkins had been bullied (and thus far his victims are not dead), but the evidence in favor of Rittenhouse’s innocence and of the nefarious character of those whom he clearly shot in self-defense is overwhelming.
The guy in Virginia was not just arrested and dragged out of the school board meeting. He was punched in the mouth by a cop. As far as the video shows he simply pulled free of the first cop who grabbed his arm, then the cops swarmed him and once handcuffed, dragged/forced him out of the building. This shortly after he began to speak, when a leftist female activist called his daughter a liar. When he became enraged, they started to force him out.
The rape was reported to the police, a rape kit revealed she had been in fact raped. The DA released the rapist to house arrest and not long after, he raped another girl at another school. The DA has close relations with the head of the school council. A progressive (Soros?) that ran for election on reducing prosecutions. Then appeared personally before the judge at the guys hearing and sought jail time for the father. Wants to throw the book at him. Corruption all the way down in Loudon County, a ‘progressive’ democrat stronghold.
j e,
More proof that the democrat’s double standards have killed the rule of law.
“…leftist female activist called his daughter a liar…”
What form might payback take for someone of this ilk?

On a more hopeful note William Shatner completed his space flight: “Everybody in the world needs to do this… It was so moving.”

Eva Marie–
I can remember when the future Captain Kirk starred in a 1963 episode of Twilight Zone titled “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.”
Rod Serling’s opening narration: Portrait of a frightened man: Mr. Robert Wilson, thirty-seven, husband, father and salesman on sick leave. Mr. Wilson has just been discharged from a sanitarium where he spent the last six months recovering from a nervous breakdown, the onset of which took place on an evening not dissimilar to this one, on an airliner very much like the one in which Mr. Wilson is about to be flown home—the difference being that, on that evening half a year ago, Mr. Wilson’s flight was terminated by the onslaught of his mental breakdown. Tonight, he’s traveling all the way to his appointed destination, which, contrary to Mr. Wilson’s plan, happens to be in the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone.
Brief excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXHKDb0CNjA&ab_channel=TheTwilightZone
I bet Shatner was less afraid of space flight than many people were of flying after watching that Twilight Zone episode.
I have “Rigged” coming to me on Friday. Mollie Hemingway is a good reporter. The idea that her book is “all lies” strikes me as highly unlikely.
PA+Cat: Thanks for the link. That was an amazing episode. I didn’t realize that was Shatner. What a great career.
With the pan-global response to COVID enriching the wealthy and destroying the middle class as its template, Zerohedge discusses the Next Step (which many suspected)—the endgame to end all endgames: the pan-global Global Warning Scam:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/here-hidden-150-trillion-agenda-behind-crusade-against-climate-change
Key grafs:
‘…We leave the best for last because at the end of the day, this was always about more debt, and more monetization, a process which by now even the shoeshine boy knows makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Only this time the world’s wealthiest plan on robbing what little is left of the middle class under the guise of a noble crusade to defeat global warming… a crusade which will require over $500 billion in annual debt monetization by central banks each and every year, leading to hyperinflation in either risk assets or the broader economy, or both.
‘…So if it sounds like “the crusade against climate change” is one giant con game meant to enrich a handful of kleptocrats here and now, while the nebulous benefits – and the all too certain debt and hyperinflation – of this revolutionary overhaul of the global economy are inherited by future generations, it’s because that’s precisely what it is.’
This explains (once again) why the Democrats had to steal the 2020 election and why they must “win” every future one.
Yes, both Covid and AGW use the same plan:
1) too complicated for anyone but experts to understand
2) super dangerous
3) thus, extreme measures are justified
Gb, see i told you all that this time was different. Back in jan 2021 people were moping around thinking they had lost an election. Lol. Little did they know that elections like that had 30 milli9j fake votes at least. A number i brought up in 2015 here to crickets churping. Nobody had a clue what to do about that number.
Bringing out the sun
As i stated and is a promise of a son of god, the words became truth. They would be exposed. It just takes time becUse work takes time. Something people here need to learn from this satan war
Meanwhile, Trump’s “MAGA” has been intentionally and meticulously transformed to “Biden”‘s “DC” (Destroy the Country).
Which is why a multitude of crises have been carefully planned and are being relentlessly implemented (as well as resolutely defended) by the “Biden” regime, with the following upcoming crisis being, logically, the next to be unleashed, given that winter is just around the corner:
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/tugas-prices-seven-year-high-and-rising-biden-offensive-against-domestic-oil
“Biden”‘s mission: to make the American people kneel in submission while sabotaging the country’s core institutions, perverting its ethos, removing all socio-cultural anchors, discombobulating its population, bankrupting its economy, shattering its unity, demolishing its morale and destroying its hope.
Transformation, Inc.
“Corruption all the way down in Loudon County, a ‘progressive’ democrat stronghold.”
I and god will destroy every bit of this civilization gb. Your elections. Your religions. Your govs. Your leaders.
So long as humanity continues to resist the divine and fights for satan, this will go on and on.
The judgment of soddom is upon you all. Get used to it. Or get rid of these trash. Your choice.
B meislin, ever figure out that q did not kill a b or gin up an insurrection j6? Lol
So easily programmed by fake news.
yammer had Georgia “covered”, or did he say he had Georgia covered up? Hard to remember what he said. Times passes and at this point what difference does he make? 🙂
Qanon led Ashlii Babbitt to her encounter with Lt. Michael L Byrd. You rolled in that Qanon swill, yammy.
“Biden”‘s next target: the Military. (“He” knows “he” must act quickly….)

Barry Meislin,
Payback is a bitch.
PA+Cat,
Shatner also appeared as a lawyer in the Gary Cooper movie about the court martial of the visionary Billy Mitchell, long before he met Spock 😉
BTW, in 1924 Mitchell submitted a 324-page report that predicted future war with Japan, including the attack on Pearl Harbor…
Kate,
Earlier today I watched Mollie Hemingway appear on the Tucker Carlson show. She impressed me as calm, level headed and knowledgeable.
Barry Meislin,
The world’s wealthiest should remember the fate of the French Aristocracy. They would also do well to remember the fate of the wealthy under the Bolsheviks. If those they impoverish don’t get them, the Marxists will.
JimNorCal,
They shall discover that, “that dog… don’t hunt”.
ymarsakar,
Talk is cheap. We’ve yet to see your graveyards.
Don’t I remember you telling us, not to worry that you’ve got this?
On supply chain disruptions and the resulting food and equipment shortages: Biden’s new Transportation Secretary is MIA:
https://cnsnews.com/article/national/susan-jones/southwest-airlines-cancellations-supply-chain-crisis-wheres
“‘The supply chain disruption is a crisis,’ Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted on Monday. ‘This will impact every American, especially those who can least afford it. It’s past time for President Biden and Pete Buttigieg to explain what they’re doing about this.’ In a second tweet, Cotton said: ‘Pete Buttigieg was completely unqualified to serve as Secretary of Transportation. But Biden still picked him. Now, Pete is absent during a transportation crisis that is hurting working-class Americans.'”
Buttigieg and his husband Chasten are too busy showing off their new twins to worry about less well connected Americans. Photo of the baby daddies in a hospital bed at the link:

Regarding neo’s item #1, dealing with USA inflation, this may be of interest to many of us seasoned citizens:
Press Release
Wednesday, October 13, 2021 For Immediate Release
Social Security Announces 5.9 Percent Benefit Increase for 2022
“Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for approximately 70 million Americans will increase 5.9 percent in 2022, the Social Security Administration announced today. The 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits payable to more than 64 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2022. Increased payments to approximately 8 million SSI beneficiaries will begin on December 30, 2021. (Note: some people receive both Social Security and SSI benefits.)”
https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2021/#10-2021-2
[Do note that the “2020 Press Releases” title at the link is a typo (a leftover, I suppose) from the Social Security website. The October 13, 2021 date is correct.]
“We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family.”
Who will presumably never have a female parental role model in their lives.
See, mothers aren’t needed, nor fathers in the opposite case, it’s all about the satisfaction of the adults. Selfishness personified.
MJR,
And, as with most of the Obama years, I expect most of that increase will be redirected to higher Medicare premiums with very little being left in the direct deposit check.
“Shatner was on board with Blue Origin’s VP of mission and flight operations, Audrey Powers, and two paying customers: Glen de Vries, a co-founder of the medical research platform Medidata Solutions, and Chris Boshuizen, a NASA researcher turned tech entrepreneur.
While Shatner was a guest of Bezos, de Vries and Boshuizen reportedly paid $250,000 each.”
Buying a 10-minute flight into space: worth every penny.
PR boost from sending Captain Kirk into space: priceless.
Louden teachers and schoolboard members are also reported to have compiled an enemies list of parents they planned to punish with the cooperation of a larger ‘anti-racist’ parents group in the community – see: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9415407/Cops-investigate-Facebook-group-named-parents-against-critical-race-theory.html .
These sorts of tactics, against concerned parents, actually haven’t been uncommon.
Lots of details at Not the Bee on the Loudoun story, which I hadn’t seen elsewhere.

Such as that this:
Girl Scouts was a lost cause 30 years ago or more.
I wonder if the Smiths voted Democrat?
Hold the presses on that ticker-tape parade for Captain Kirk:

What we’re hearing out of Loudon County is very plausible, but it might be a good idea to wait for more confirmed facts on that one. They will eventually come.
The leftist activist who told the guy at the school board meeting his daughter was lying can be seen in the video of the incident wearing a tee shirt with a rainbow colors heart on it. No doubt a symbol of her ideology.
The activist involved is a member of the “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun” Facebook group (Luke Rosiak calls them “Chardonnay Antifa”) which is compiling information on parents who object to the school’s actions so they can be harassed.
The girl’s father had a rape kit done which proved she was raped so the activist is just lying outright in an attempt to provoke the father and cast shade on the truth.
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/10/11/horror-in-loudoun-county-implicates-local-and-federal-officials-n455371
That Loudon County, VA cases shows how evil and depraved the Libs are. Covering up a rape because it doesn’t comply with their political ideas.
Here in Nebraska, the libs wanted to teach 5th graders about transgenderism. They’ll probably push for open bathrooms at some point.
This will probably get buried but…
The CPI inflation of +5.9% is just the small tip of a coming iceberg.
