Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Mass Diagnosis
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which a person has certain thoughts repeatedly (called “obsessions”) or feels the need to perform certain routines repeatedly (called “compulsions”) to an extent which generates distress or impairs general functioning.[1][2] The person is unable to control either the thoughts or activities for more than a short period of time.[1] Common compulsions include hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked.[1] These activities occur to such a degree that the person’s daily life is negatively affected,[1] often taking up more than an hour a day.[2] Most adults realize that the behaviors do not make sense.[1] The condition is associated with tics, anxiety disorder, and an increased risk of suicide.[2][3]
The entire population of the World is now heavily involved with a mental illness called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The need to wear masks constantly, indoors, outdoors, going about one’s business, or even in one’s own home is a classic form of this well known mental illness. Excessive hand washing, fear of any close contact with other human beings, are also classic symptoms of OCD.
Treatment involves psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and sometimes antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or clomipramine.[4][5] CBT for OCD involves increasing exposure to what causes the problems while not allowing the repetitive behavior to occur.[4] Contrary to this, metacognitive therapy encourages the ritual behaviors as to alter the relationship to one’s thoughts about them.[8] While clomipramine appears to work as well as SSRIs, it has greater side effects and thus is typically reserved as a second-line treatment.[4] Atypical antipsychotics may be useful when used in addition to an SSRI in treatment-resistant cases but are also associated with an increased risk of side effects.[5][9] Without treatment, the condition often lasts decades.[2]
The relentless unwarranted hysteria over COVID perpetrated by the news media and authoritarian politicians has exacerbated the spread of this very dangerous mental condition. Aside from the many people who have lost their jobs & businesses plus those who will lose them in the near future, the rest of the population will be suffering from this induced mental illness for decades to come. If one were to promote a conspiracy theory about the pandemic it would be that the American Psychiatric Association was behind the whole thing. Guaranteed OCD patients for years to come. What’s not to like about a pandemic.
Knowledge and the Illusion of Knowledge
Although it’s impossible to say for sure, Trofim Lysenko probably killed more human beings than any individual scientist in history. Other dubious scientific achievements have cut thousands upon thousands of lives short: dynamite, poison gas, atomic bombs. But Lysenko, a Soviet biologist, condemned perhaps millions of people to starvation through bogus agricultural research—and did so without hesitation. Only guns and gunpowder, the collective product of many researchers over several centuries, can match such carnage.
…
Lysenko forced farmers to plant seeds very close together since, according to his “law of the life of species”, plants from the same “class” never compete with one another.[14] Lysenko played an active role in the famines that killed millions of Soviet people and his practices prolonged and exacerbated the food shortages.[14] The People’s Republic of China under Mao Tse-Tung adopted his methods starting in 1958, with calamitous results, culminating in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962. At least 30 million died of starvation.[14]
…
On the one hand, this rehabilitation is shocking. Genetics almost certainly won’t be banned in Russia again, and the rehabilitation effort remains a fringe movement overall. But fringe ideas can have dangerous consequences. This one distorts Russian history and glosses over the incredible damage Lysenko did in abusing his power to silence and kill colleagues—to say nothing of all the innocent people who starved because of his doctrines. The fact that even some “qualified scientists” are lionizing Lysenko shows just how pervasive anti-Western sentiment is in some circles: Even science is perverted to promote ideology.
Again and again, we hear the question “Don’t you believe in science?” This is an odd question because pure belief isn’t necessary for science. One must understand the process of confirming empirical results against a hypothesis. If the empirical results (the facts) don’t confirm the hypothesis (the narrative) then there is no science whether you want to claim to believe in science or not. Of course, one believes in Religion because it will by definition go beyond any empirical result. In the 20th century, we have something called ideology. This has the unfortunate quality of looking or sounding like science but it isn’t. One believes in the narrative but not the facts. There is no science in ideology. This can be a very dangerous phenomenon. Lysenko had a powerful understanding of Stalinist Communist Ideology. His theories of crops adapting to the environment were completely false scientifically. Yet, because these theories so pleased the Soviet Idologues he was put in charge of Soviet Agriculture with disastrous results. Not only did it cause huge numbers of deaths in the Soviet Union but his ideological idea was also persuasive in China and caused even more deaths there.
From 1970, the first Earth Day, until about 2003, there were a variety of sophisticated hypotheses about Man-Made Global Warming. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the empirical data available was so weak that it wasn’t possible to confirm or deny these hypotheses. Yet, the ideology of Made-Made Global Warming insisted on belief without any actual scientific confirmation. Massively draconian legislation was drafted and put into effect on these unconfirmed hypotheses. The economy of the United States and the rest of the World was severely restricted by this legislation.
In 2003, after multiple satellites with well-proven look down infrared temperature measuring technology had been in orbit for a few years, accurate measurement of the surface temperature of the earth was finally available. What was announced was that there was a pause in Global Warming. As the models, now long in use, had relied on the surface temperature of the earth in their measure of Global Temperature did not match the hard reliable empirical data now coming from the satellites, these hypotheses would be rejected as scientifically invalid. In short, to the extent we understood the science at the time, Man-Made Global Warming did not exist. Certainly, all of the draconian legislation resulting in the massive restriction of the economy in retrospect looked completely unwarranted.
Of course, as they say, the story wasn’t over. Dealing with an ideology is not like dealing with normal scientific inquiry. The ideologues will cling to their hypothesis, claiming and acting, as if their naked hypothesis, without confirming data, had been science. Now, these idealogues realized that their game was up. The new data threatened the existence of their ideology. So they tried first to undermine the new data. From NOAA, an organization never designed to be collecting such data, new data was referred to as showing that Man-Made Global Warming was still happening. Of course, the scientific community asked to see the actual data set as would be customary. NOAA refused to release the actual data set. A freedom of information lawsuit finally forced them to release the data set. It was soon discovered that as one might have assumed, NOAA had no new data but had repackaged the old data available before the accurate satellite data had become available. With this scheme exposed now the ideologues’ ideology was in real jeopardy. They were forced to try to do real science. First, as would be their right, they constructed new hypotheses that involved the temperature of the deep ocean. However, immediately, they moved to their non-scientific, ideological, interpretation. There was no accurate data on the temperature of the deep ocean to confirm their hypotheses (same old problem). The ideologues went ahead and claimed that Man-Made Global Warming did exist even though, once again, they had not proved this scientifically. If the Biden administration, irrespective of massive proof of massive fraud, is allowed to take office it is likely that this ideological unconfirmed hypothesis will once again be accepted as scientific proof when it is not. Then a new round of unjustified draconian legislative measures will be applied and the world economy will be crushed needlessly.
We have been hearing the term “Excess Deaths” in the media over and over. It sounds simple enough but is it? Look up the CDC definition and it is anything but simple.
Counts of deaths in the most recent weeks were compared with historical trends (from 2013 to present) to determine whether the number of deaths in recent weeks was significantly higher than expected, using Farrington surveillance algorithms (1). The ‘surveillance’ package in R (2) was used to implement the Farrington algorithms, which use overdispersed Poisson generalized linear models with spline terms to model trends in counts, accounting for seasonality. For each jurisdiction, a model is used to generate a set of expected counts, and an upper bound threshold based on a one-sided 95% prediction interval of these expected counts is used to determine whether a significant increase in deaths has occurred. Estimates of excess deaths are provided based on the observed number of deaths relative to two different thresholds. The lower end of the excess death estimate range is generated by comparing the observed counts to the upper bound threshold, and a higher end of the excess death estimate range is generated by comparing the observed count to the average expected number of deaths. Reported counts were weighted to account for potential underreporting in the most recent weeks.
Comparing these two sets of estimates — excess deaths with and without COVID-19 — can provide insight about how many excess deaths are identified as due to COVID-19, and how many excess deaths are due to other causes of death. These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to COVID-19. Additionally, death certificates are often initially submitted without a cause of death, and then updated when cause of death information becomes available. It may be the case that some excess deaths that are not attributed directly to COVID-19 will be updated in coming weeks with cause-of-death information that includes COVID-19. These analyses will be updated periodically, and the numbers presented will change as more data are received.
…
Estimated numbers of deaths due to these other causes of death could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to COVID-19 (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages or overburdened health care systems). Deaths with an underlying cause of death of COVID-19 are not included in these estimates of deaths due to other causes, but deaths where COVID-19 appeared on the death certificate as a multiple cause of death may be included in the cause-specific estimates. For example, in some cases, COVID-19 may have contributed to the death, but the underlying cause of death was another cause, such as terminal cancer. For the majority of deaths where COVID-19 is reported on the death certificate (approximately 95%), COVID-19 is selected as the underlying cause of death.
…
These estimates are based on provisional data, which are incomplete. The weighting method applied may not fully account for reporting lags if there are longer delays at present than in past years. For example, in Pennsylvania, reporting lags are currently much longer than they have been in past years, and death counts for 2020 are therefore underestimated. Conversely, the weighting method may over-adjust for underreporting, given improvements in data timeliness in certain jurisdictions. Unweighted estimates are provided, so that users can see the impact of weighting the provisional counts. However, these unweighted provisional counts are incomplete, and the extent to which they may underestimate the true count of deaths is unknown. Some jurisdictions exhibit recent increases in deaths when using weighted estimates, but not the unweighted.
We have learned from the very first sentence that I have quoted above that excess deaths is an estimate completely dependent on the number of deaths that historically occurred from 2013 to the present. The validity of this depends first on the statistical pure model that is employed. There are three questions. First, does the data actually conform to the model and thus verify the hypothesis? Second, is the model itself a valid model of reality or is there some inherent flaw in its logic? Third, was the data gathered properly and reliably? For this discussion, I am most concerned about the third question but does not imply that the first two can be dismissed. For me, an old instrument salesman, the really glaring problem is in the empirical measurement itself. COVID doesn’t seem to kill anybody all by itself. It kills very elderly people with compromised lungs and multiple comorbidities. Thus, determining the actual cause of death would be a very murky process. Add to this that there is a financial incentive for the hospitals to name the cause of death as COVID one really must look very carefully at the results. There is going to be a reevaluation of all of this at some point and I expect cooler heads may have a very different interpretation. From above:
Additionally, death certificates are often initially submitted without a cause of death, and then updated when cause of death information becomes available. It may be the case that some excess deaths that are not attributed directly to COVID-19 will be updated in coming weeks with cause-of-death information that includes COVID-19. These analyses will be updated periodically, and the numbers presented will change as more data are received.
The CDC comments as if the fact that weeks after a death was recorded as “not attributed directly to COVID” it is then changed to a COVID death, means that COVID is being underreported so keep watching as the numbers go up. This completely fails to accept the possibility that the hospital administrator may have visited the physician and mentioned offhand the amount of money the hospital would receive if the death in question would be attributed to COVID. He then asks the physician to “reconsider” his finding. This would mean that the COVID death numbers we will end up with will be very high, not too low, and will be adjusted down. This also points out just how difficult it is to judge the cause of death because COVID isn’t capable of killing all by itself and will always be part of a team effort with other causes. Again, to me, this suggests a weak virus and not a strong one. By the way, it should only take one visit for the administrator to make it clear that the physician should get with the program and bend his judgment so as to record the death as COVID.
I haven’t got to all of the “fudge factors” that are being baked into these “Excess Death” calculations. We know that such fudged models are prone to confirmation bias. The famous “hockey stick” curve that tried to prove Man-Made Global Warming was a result of multiple fudge factors that were adjusted and even then the data was cherry-picked to produce the hockey stick.
Hysterical headlines that scream about deaths caused by COVID, which can only mean the estimated Excess Deaths, should be classified as some sort of ideological belief system and not science. Even more hysterical headlines about new outbreaks of COVID cases, which mean that many more people have been tested and show anti-bodies, is used to imply that more lockdown is justified. This too is not science but an ideological belief system at work.
We have seen this before. Lysenko is on the loose again. There are two Krakens that have been recently released to harass the American public. First, a massively fraudulent election, and second, a massively overhyped pandemic. Perhaps not so oddly enough, the same people have perpetrated both.

The Right Questions
Why is Hillary Clinton saying, “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstance”? Biden, at the time, was up in most of the polls by 9-15 points. You would think Biden would be declaring victory. How would the presence of normal ordinary Republican poll watchers be intimidating? To whom would that be intimidating?
We have the answer but first a little review of how it used to be. Not that long ago when paper ballots were counted by hand a strange phenomenon would happen on election night. After 11:00 pm in heavily Democrat-controlled precincts, ballot boxes would be “misplaced”. Seems odd as a ballot box is a rather large stationary piece of equipment. How could it be misplaced? This would only happen if the election was close. Next, mysteriously, the ballot boxes were found at about 1:00 am. The ballots were now counted and were 100% voting Democratic. Truly a mystery.
Now we are in a new era. Everything is done by computer. Of course, people still have paper ballots mailed to them. In some states, no one needs to request these as the paper ballots are just mailed out in mass to whatever address & name the board of elections has. Now we have a new strange phenomenon. Virtually all the ballots, regular & mail-in, have been counted early in the evening except for those in heavily Democrat-controlled cities in states with Democrat Governors. In the middle of the night, literally around 4 am, suddenly a huge number of ballots are tabulated all at once from these Democrat-controlled cities. They are 100% voting Democratic. Truly a new information age mystery.
Now back to our original question. Why would Hillary Clinton be so adamant about Joe Biden not conceding when according to the polls it was much more likely that Joe Biden would be declaring victory? I think our answer lies in the new information age mystery. Some of the 4 a.m. vote floods showed a turnout of over 100%. Just an amazing mystery.
I think we are experiencing the same old corruption in brand new internet clothing.
Hard Drives and Hard Luck
Biden Insider Tony Bobulinski Provides Trove of Documents to Senate Investigators
Biden family insider Tony Bobulinski has provided a trove of documents to U.S. Senate investigators from the Senate Homeland Security and Senate Finance Committees, Breitbart News has learned.
Bobulinski, the recipient of one of the emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop, went public on Wednesday night with a statement saying he confirms its authenticity and detailed how former Vice President Joe Biden — the Democrat nominee for president in this year’s election, which is just over 10 days away — was personally involved in many dealings with his son’s business associates.
Documents that Bobulinski provided to Senators have begun appearing in public, and have been obtained by a number of media outlets including Breitbart News.
In them, text messages, emails, and other documents illustrate a larger picture of concern regarding the Biden family’s operating procedures, and deep connections that Joe Biden himself has to all of this.
“Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face,” Biden family associate James Gilliar—the head of J2cR—says in one WhatsApp text message that Bobulinski provided to the Senate committees. “I know u know that but they are paranoid.”
Modern hard drives store as much as one terabyte of information or more. The computer tech guy who was servicing Hunter Biden’s computer was probably using the most popular backup software for personal computers in the world “Acronis.” Acronis is not only extremely reliable and easy to use but every copy comes with an option of doing a sector-by-sector backup. A sector-by-sector backup is slower than the standard backup but has the advantage of literally copying every single byte of information on the hard drive. The standard backup won’t copy things like deleted emails. A sector-by-sector backup will copy even the deleted emails.
Our friend the computer tech guy probably did a sector-by-sector backup of Hunter Biden’s machine not because he was trying to get Biden but because if anything went wrong with his repair effort he wanted to have total protection. Then nobody could claim he was negligent and lost their data.
Not only would it be a nearly impossible job to fake a whole hard drive full of information but now the FBI has confirmed that it is real. Giuliani has a copy and he says it’s real. Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s business partner, says it is real and is now providing all kinds of corroborating evidence himself.
The Bidens are lousy with dirty foreign money. Lots of it from China an obvious strategic enemy of the United States and increasingly an enemy of the Free World. These allegations aren’t from unidentified/unsubstantiated sources like the false accusations of Trump promulgated by Democrats and the media for three years. These allegations are based on the hardest of hard evidence from multiple sources of known identity who are willing to testify.
For Hunter and his Dad, this is going to be hard luck. Yep, hard-drive hard luck.
The Exception to the Rule on Abortion and Jewish Law
One of the great illusions of Western Civilization’s moral bedrock is that Jewish Law is pro-abortion. I have tried to cover this subject before but failed to completely make my case clear. I intend to make it clear that Jewish Law is fundamentally anti-abortion. There are two holdings of Jewish Law that are confusing. I will make the logic of these two holdings clear. Once clear it will be obvious that neither holding questions the fundamental underlying rule, abortion is forbidden by Jewish Law.
The first confusing holding of Jewish Law revolves around the Jewish Priest, the Kohen. If the Kohen comes in contact with a human corpse he becomes tomeh. Tomeh is translated as spiritually impure, but this has nothing to do with physical cleanliness. This is a spiritual impurity that contact with human death imparts upon the Kohen. As a result of becoming tomeh, the Kohen is restricted from performing his duties in the Temple for one week and must go through a spiritual purification regime involving immersion in a mikveh. The mikveh is a religious bath whose construction is codified in Jewish Law.
If we imagine our Kohen as a kind of human litmus paper it is very simple. If the Kohen is in contact with human death he is tomeh. If the Kohen has not come in contact with human death he is tahara, or spiritually pure. The immersion in the mikveh returns him to his original state of Tahara or spiritual purity. Now we are ready to introduce the question of abortion. However, the only thing that the Jewish Law in question is ruling upon is what happens when a Kohen comes in contact with the aborted remains of a pregnancy. The ruling is that if the Kohen comes in contact with the aborted remains of a pregnancy less than 40 days from conception the Kohen is not Tomeh, he is still spiritually pure. If the Kohen comes in contact with the aborted remains of a pregnancy after 40 days from conception the Kohen is Tomeh, spiritually impure and must go through the spiritual purification of the mikveh.
This ruling is extremely confusing until one is made aware of a simple fact. The human eye can see nothing but liquid when it looks at the remains of abortion less than 40 days from conception. Thus there is no proof that conception itself has taken place. Jewish Law’s ruling is not about the humanity of a pregnancy at conception. Rather this ruling is about the fact that at this point the question of whether conception itself has taken place is moot. There is no proof one way or the other. Thus Jewish Law chooses not to assert that a life exists where there is no proof of it. However, by the very same principle, after the 40 days, there is proof that conception had taken place and human life had existed but is now dead. Thus the Kohen is Tameh, spiritually impure by his contact.
If we generalize this principle we would get the same result even today however the period of time would not be 40 days. Let us say for the sake of argument that there is only one reliable pregnancy test and it can give accurate results 10 days after conception. Then if there is no verification of conception for the first ten days and if the women’s pregnancy fails during that time the Kohen wouldn’t be Tomeh. If after the verification of conception, after the 10 days, the Kohen would be Tomeh.
What do we understand from this? First, we must recognize the underlying assumption of this entire religious operation. Jewish Law assumes that human life begins at conception but requires some verification that conception has actually taken place. Once it is verified that conception has taken place the pregnancy must not be interrupted as it is the ending of a proven existing human life.
We are now ready for the second confusing holding of Jewish Law. Between conception and birth, there is a single exception to the rule that the pregnancy can not be interrupted. If the pregnancy would result in the death of the woman, she has the right to end the pregnancy. In this situation, Jewish Law holds that the human life that exists inside the woman is a rodef. Rodef translated means an “attacker”. This new life is considered to be attacking the woman and thus she has the right of self-defense even to the extent of ending the life of her attacker.
What do we understand from this? It is clear that human life begins at conception. It is clear that the only possible justification for ending that human life is self-defense because that is the only justification for one human being to end another human being’s life in the womb or elsewhere. Thus Jewish Law unholds the humanity of the unborn and affords the unborn the same rights as a human being that has been born.
As further proof of these principles, I submit the entire body of Jewish Law called Taharah Mishpachah. This is translated as the Laws of Family Purity. This elaborate set of Laws surrounds the sexual relationship of husband and wife using the women’s ovulatory cycle as the template. Rather than going into detail, of which there would a great deal, it is simple to surmise that such a massively elaborate religious set of laws completely outlining a possible conception seem immensely unlikely if Jewish Law did not consider conception to be of great importance. Mikvehs, part of a women’s required monthly ritual, are constructed according to Jewish Law. Thus they are archeologically recognizable as Mikvehs. Mikvehs have been found in Israel well over 2500 years old. Thus it is safe to assume that the Laws of Family Purity predated the Christian period. Thus for whatever it is worth to Christianity, a Jewish Law doctrine existed long before the existence of Christianity that upheld human life beginning at conception.
I am quite sure that there will still be some Christians that will not feel comfortable with Jewish Law. However, hopefully, they will realize just how much it harmonizes with the Christian point of view. Strangely enough, my presentation above will be objected to by far more Jews than Christians. Many Jews have secularized themselves and have no interest in actual Jewish Law. Many Jews who are familiar with Jewish Law wish to appease the secularists and will find ‘other interpretations’ of the rulings I have discussed. I have thought about this for a long time. I can find no other reasonable interpretation of Jewish Law than what I have presented above. Why should it be so surprising that the Jewish holding is so similar to the Christian holding? For the first few hundred years, the Romans simply considered both Judaism and Christianity slightly different sects of the same religion. The Romans may have been less moral but they certainly weren’t stupid.

Role Reversal
In the western High Noon, the sheriff is the symbol of Justice. He is under attack by those who would overthrow Justice and allow a lawless disregard for humanity to reign. He tries to rally as much community support as he can but in the end, he must face the bad guys all by himself.
Mrs. Barrett will be facing the bad guys Tuesday. We on the right all support her 100%. However, she will face this test alone. She fights for Justice itself for Justice is surely under attack. She fights for all of us and the quality of life we want for ourselves and our children for that quality of life is surely under attack.
We are a society and a culture that has affirmed personal responsibility. This (not diversity) is our great strength. Of course, personal responsibility is no picnic. Mrs. Barrett must face those who would destroy her by any means they can devise. We can only hope that G-d is with her. So Mrs. Barrett is in the role of the sheriff now.

Alternative Voices vs. the COVID Lunatic Brigade
COVID experts: there is another way:
Three eminent epidemiologists met in Massachusetts to plan a better response to the pandemic.
… Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.
Dr. Sunetra Gupta is a professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
Dr. Kulldorff is a Professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and an epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.
Science is not a dogma. So to say you “believe” in science is completely irrational. One understands science, analyzes science, and if one has the talent for it one practices science. These three have the talent and have practiced science professionally at the highest level. They are trying to steer a proper course through this problem that will help the most people and hurt the fewest. The scientific “believers” who know nothing are fools that have locked in and locked down their belief blindly. They will get more people killed and do permanent damage to this society.
It’s not too late to listen to these wise voices and change our course accordingly.

Grammy-Winner Van Morrison Protests Lockdowns with Anthem ‘Born to Be Free’
Sir Van Morrison has accused governments of “taking our freedom” in three new songs released to protest against the global coronavirus lockdown and bookend his campaign for live venues to operate with full audiences.
“The new normal, is not normal,” he sings on one track that attacks the micro-regulatory state, before adding, “We were born to be free.”
I never did find my brown-eyed girl but if it took me an extra 50 years to find out who Van Morrison really was, then maybe there is hope for me to finally find my brown-eyed girl. Anything is possible, with Gd’s help. Perhaps I didn’t know who I really was.

Kenosha Police Arrest Out-of-State Group Preparing for Riots
Kenosha Police arrested a group of nine out-of-state alleged rioters who were reportedly filling up “multiple fuel cans” and driving vehicles containing illegal fireworks, helmets, gas masks, and suspected controlled substances.
According to the Kenosha Police’s media release, officers were tipped off to the presence of three out-of-state vehicles meeting in in a remote lot.
The police tailed the vehicles, and observed occupants filling “multiple fuel cans” at a gas station, after which officers attempted to make contact and investigate.
One of the vehicles, a minivan, attempted to flee, but police successfully stopped the vehicle and forced entry.
It has been obvious all along. These people are bankrolled, organized, bused in, and deployed to riot. For the umpteenth time, they are not protestors! These people are paid anarchists. What is important is who is paying them and what they are paying them for. What we see going on in the streets is just the inevitable results of the plan. Since George Floyd died of a self-administered super-dose of Fentanyl, hundreds of people have died, thousands have been injured, tens of thousands of permanent jobs have been lost, and black neighborhoods will remain devastated for 20 years.
Marxists are just a bunch of cheap thugs spewing an expensive ideology. Evil is just evil and it will go on until it is stopped cold. Time to nail these bastards and end this.
A Question of Motive
From the first report of the George Floyd death, I was bothered by the lack of interest in Officer Chauvin’s possible motive for having his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes. With no such interest expressed, the political polemicists of BLM/Antifa had a field day ascribing it to the endemic racism of America showing itself by the merciless actions of a white cop. We now have a video of the actual arrest and, for me, it reveals a great deal.
First, we notice how strangely agitated Floyd is. He isn’t angry but terrified first of being shot which he repeats over and over again. He doesn’t seem to be actually resisting arrest but so frightened as to not be in control of his own movements. He is big and the cops have trouble moving him into the position that they need him to be. He never acts in an aggressive way to the cops but rather seems to be asking for some kind of help but he doesn’t really make much sense. A woman and a man were in the parked car with him and get out on the passenger side to the sidewalk. One of the cops is questioning the woman about Floyd and she puts her finger to the side of her head and rotates it around, the common sign one makes to imply that someone is crazy. As the cops struggle to move Floyd into their police vehicle, Floyd is just babbling fearfully and probably is exhibiting paranoid behavior (I can’t make such a clinical diagnosis). One of the things he says over and over is, “I had the COVID, I had the COVID.” I already knew this fact from one of the early news stories but it has been rarely mentioned since. Now we can see that he is telling Chauvin and the other police directly that he had been infected with the virus. Floyd continues to be trouble in a sort of passive-aggressive way. He isn’t fighting the police but he isn’t quite cooperating either. They want to get him into an ambulance but the ambulance hasn’t arrived yet. Then Chauvin and another officer quit trying to get him quiet in the back of the police cruiser and take him out and lay him flat on the ground with Chauvin holding Floyd’s head flat to the ground with his knee.
This new evidence suggests to me what I had suspected all along: Chauvin, knowing that he’s not got a dangerous criminal but a mentally ill man, wants to put him in an ambulance where he can be sedated. Chauvin must wait until the ambulance arrives. Knowing that Floyd is infected with COVID, Chauvin is fearful that Floyd, flailing about as he is, might sneeze on him or his other officers and infect them. Floyd’s fear that he can’t breathe is from the beginning because he had “the COVID.” Neither Chauvin nor the other officers are prepared to deal with the COVID threat and aren’t wearing masks. So Chauvin still waiting for the ambulance with Floyd yelling that he can’t breathe while sitting alone inside the police vehicle, let’s Floyd out and holds Floyd’s head flat to the pavement with his knee to stop Floyd from infecting him or the other officers. Floyd has been babbling so irrationally the whole time that Chauvin ignores the last complaints from Floyd. Floyd has a heart attack and dies while Chauvin is still waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
What difference does it make now? The lunatic monsters of BLM/Antifa have used the incident to accuse Western Civilization itself of racism and made that a pretext for destructive anarchy in the streets of numerous cities. We can’t rewind this. The madness happened because enough people in the media and government were willing to buy the total lie of racism. It also happened because enough people in the media and government have been fanning the fear of the COVID. Floyd terrified to the point of a nervous breakdown. Chauvin was frightened into an action that was unnecessarily cautious to protect against the virus and endangered a prisoner that was no threat.
This is a comedy of terrors. It isn’t Floyd or Chauvin who are in the wrong but our whole society that insists on spreading paranoia while it directs people away from a spiritual life that might insulate them a little from the effects of fear. BLM/Antifa are the embodiment of this madness. They are continuing to do harm to this society and everyone in it. We all need to calm the hell down and think clearly before we do any more damage. BLM/Antifa needs to stand down now and stop spreading their madness.

Well, It Wasn’t the 4th of July
In Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, 80 people were shot and 15 died. This past weekend in Chicago, 34 people were shot and 9 died. Well, it wasn’t the 4th of July but that’s still quite a total for the first weekend in August. If anyone actually understands what the English words emanating from their mouth mean when they yell, “Black Lives Matter” they would get very ill at just the thought of these horrific events.
Lori Lightfoot is too smart not to know what this means. She is a tough politician who is defending her left-wing turf but how long can she keep standing. The slaughter on the streets every weekend makes her look like a fool. Her police department is ready to mutiny. Chicago already has the strictest gun laws in the country. These gun laws don’t seem to keep guns out of the hands of the criminals who are committing almost all of these murders.
Something has got to give.

Heather MacDonald Can Now Add to Her Impressive Résumé “Censored on Facebook”
Heather is so good it hurts. She has all of the very top credentials. She always composes a carefully reasoned, well documented, and compelling argument. Not afraid to directly take on the most obnoxious claims of the left, Heather delivers as one of the right’s most intelligent and effective voices.
The video piece that appears at the top of this post was censored on Facebook. Recently, her well-written article at the Wall Street Journal was the target of a woke mob formed by staffers at WSJ itself. This attempt failed thank Gd. The article still stands:
The Myth of Systemic Police Racism
Hold officers accountable who use excessive force. But there’s no evidence of widespread racial bias.George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis has revived the Obama-era narrative that law enforcement is endemically racist. On Friday, Barack Obama tweeted that for millions of black Americans, being treated differently by the criminal justice system on account of race is “tragically, painfully, maddeningly ‘normal.’ ” Mr. Obama called on the police and the public to create a “new normal,” in which bigotry no longer “infects our institutions and our hearts.”
Joe Biden released a video the same day in which he asserted that all..
The left is desperate to silence the best voices from the right. They can’t afford to have their own hysterical narrative punctured by reality. Voices like Heather will do just that. She will puncture their narrative with the very facts that the left ignores.
We must keep fighting. We must find the voices in our ranks that can deliver our message in the most powerful form. A form that can’t be denied by anyone who is still objective. If these voices are being unfairly attacked what chance do the rest of us have.
The Issue Is Not Trump
According to Kevin Williamson, The Issue Is Trump.
What do Republicans want? What do they believe? What do they cherish? They should be careful how they answer.
Personally, I cannot wait for Election Day, if only to find out whether the backers of the Lincoln Project and those who sympathize with them are “irrelevant,” as Trump and his allies like to say, or whether that estimate will change right around the time Fox News calls Pennsylvania.
We live in a culture where just a year or two ago it was fashionable on the left to say that a recession would be worth it if Trump could be defeated. More recently, it is obvious that those possessed by the idea of a necessary lockdown are more than willing to accept a worldwide depression as long as they can go on virtue signaling and screaming at people to wear their mask. Surely, this will bring Trump and the Trumpkins to their knees.
There are three stages that every Marxist takeover goes through. Stage one is the collapse of the economy. To paraphrase Hayek, the free market is the economy and the economy is the free market. Thus when you make the economy illegal (the free market) it collapses and in short order starvation is the result. Of course, people aren’t happy with starvation so they now decide to protest this new Marxist regime. After all the Marxists had been selling protest before they took over. Now the people discover that the Marxists meant that you had the right to protest the capitalists. The new Marxist state is simply right in all things so any protest is sedition. First, starvation, and next absolute tyranny.
However, there is yet something more to come. You see, Marxism doesn’t really believe in the individual, much less individual moral autonomy, much less individual rights. Thus, inevitably, when a “group” rubs the brutal useless Marxist state the wrong way an ultimate solution must be found. Classically, this is phrased “the x group is on the wrong side of history so they must be liquidated.” This sounds so much better than “purifying the race” or “exterminate”. Of course, what goes on by any other name say “ethnic cleansing” is in realty genocide. Genocide is the inevitable end game of Marxism. If you don’t believe in the value of the individual then you don’t believe in the value of a whole bunch of individuals and so it then becomes possible to just murder them. It is good to remember that Stalin embarked on his genocidal policies years before Hitler came to power in Germany. The Germans had to catch up.
I watched in the late ’70s as the Democratic Party, which had been defending the lower-middle-class working person since the Great Depression, simply gave up. They now became the party defending the trivial hallucinations of spoiled left-wing college graduates while completely abandoning the interests of the working class. From that time onward the Democratic Party has pursued policies, economic, social, and international that simply make it “the enemy of the people.” These policies destroy the family unit, most important to the happy life of the average working person. They destroy the long term stability of jobs most important to the economic well being of the average working person. Finally, they undermine the bastion of freedom that allows the blessings of liberty to be enjoyed by the most ordinary person in our society. The Democratic Party is concerned with transgender rights, postnatal abortions, allowing the impoverished from around the world to be illegally imported as slave labor, and, who can forget, destroying the rational basis of Western Civilization because logic is a patriarchal plot.
In such a political environment, for someone to gleefully look forward to Trump being defeated and the above described Democrat Party to obtain complete control of the government requires either incredible willful blindness or the hatred of mankind itself. Kevin Williamson has apparently not learned his lesson from the affair with The Atlantic. They treated him with complete contempt not because he was too Trump-like but because he had expressed a political opinion to the right of Che Guevara.
Recently, the daily abuse of Bari Weiss at the Times became just too much for her so she resigned from the NY Times but not without making it clear what the reasons were. Again, Kevin failed to grasp what she was saying and why. Willful blindness or hatred of mankind, you decide. The big platforms silencing right-wing websites, the democrats intending massive election fraud through mail-in ballots and vote harvesting, all Trump’s fault. Get rid of Trump and Antifa will never burn a police car again. Promise.
The fantasy that being anti-Trump places you in some special moral or intellectual higher category continues. It is, of course, just a more sophisticated version of TDS. At this point, I am afraid that there is nothing else to say. Kevin Williamson is suffering from a severe case of TDS and should seek help immediately. Not only does he hurt himself but those who are being attacked daily by the pack of left-wing hyenas need a champion. Kevin is leaving them to these predators. He is leaving the American public and humanity itself to destroyers. Once in full power, these idiots will bring destruction like Kevin apparently can’t imagine. Full-scale depression likely means that a thermonuclear exchange could take place. In a very short time, death and destruction could happen that could make WWII look like a child’s birthday party.
As Scrooge said to the spirit:
“Good Spirit,” he pursued, as down upon the ground he fell before it: “Your nature intercedes for me, and pities me. Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me by an altered life?”
Perhaps Kevin can awake before it is too late for him. If not the spirit may seal his fate. And ours too.
The Lie of the Macrocosm and The Lie of the Microcosm
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels
The Lie of the Macrocosm > Man-Made Global Warming
The Lie of the Microcosm > Man-Transmitted Global Pandemic
In the late 1970s, the big lie of Man-Made Climate Catastrophe was created. There was no evidence whatsoever that any of these extreme claims were true. Of course, neither was there any hard evidence that these extreme claims were false. During this period the propagandists (see Dr. Goebbels) relentlessly repeated their big lie. It took decades for the hard evidence to come in. Even then repeated disinformation campaigns (see the hockey stick) continued to gaslight the public with this huge lie. This lie caused a disastrous curtailment of American heavy industry, the loss of tens of millions of high paying jobs, and a steady increase in the cost of living for every American.
That was The Lie of the Macrocosm. We have now moved into the era of The Lie of the Microcosm, an inordinate fear of infectious disease. Again it is much the same scenario. We start in the position of a lack of hard knowledge to either confirm or deny the lie, so the propagandists exploit this by repeating the lie relentlessly. As the hard data has come in giving us enough data to realize we have been gaslighted, the disinformation campaign is started to keep people under the controlling fear they first fell victim to. (see the second wave.) The ill-effects of the lie are manifest. A huge unemployment rate and a crippled economy. An attempt to pervert a crucial election. Finally, an attempt to cash in on the panic with false solutions that will make the manipulators rich while everyone else suffers.
Dr. Goebbels is such a good teacher in this. “It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” It is imperative that we fight these lies with the truth. Remember it is the truth that our enemies fear the most. Let’s give them more of the truth than they can stand and show them no mercy.
They aren’t just our enemies, they are the enemies of mankind.

Fauci Lies Again
Anthony Fauci praises New York’s coronavirus response: ‘They did it correctly’
“We’ve got to do the things that are very clear that we need to do to turn this around,” Fauci told PBS NewsHour. “Remember, we can do it. We know that when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We’ve done it. We’ve done it in New York.”
“New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you’re talking about,” added Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — and a member of the White House coronavirus task force.
The population of New York is 19.45 million.
The population of Florida is 21.48 million.
The number of COVID 19 deaths in New York is 32,167.
The number of COVID 19 deaths in Florida is 4,894.
Not only does Florida have a larger population than New York, but it has a much higher percentage of high-risk elderly people. Yet, New York has managed to kill about 7 times the number of people who died in Florida. Fauci’s claim that New York “did it right” is ridiculous. This man needs to be fired not just from Trump’s White House team but from his job at NIH. The NIH long ago had a pristine reputation but in the last decade or two, it has shown itself to be in bed with big pharma. I honestly suspect that Fauci isn’t just gaslighting to defeat Trump in the election but is trying to increase demand for his imaginary vaccine and the profits made thereof. Jonas Salk donated the patent for his polio vaccine. No matter how many people were given the vaccine Salk didn’t make an additional penny. At this time, either Fauci commits to having his big pharma pals do the same or he can rot in hell with all the other rat bastards.
The number of cases is going up because of the massively increased testing of people who are in low-risk groups. They already have had the virus and their immune systems overcame it so they test positive for antibodies. Meanwhile, the death rate hasn’t kept pace with the new case rate. In addition, many people who again have antibodies and thus test positive have died of other causes. These people are being counted as COVID 19 deaths.
There is no second wave. New York screwed up by putting COVID 19 severely ill patients into nursing homes. These are just facts. Fauci should be fired for this nonsense.

One More Time: The Notre Dame Fire
Man in custody after Nantes cathedral fire: French media
A 39-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fire in the 15th-century cathedral in the French city of Nantes that blew out stained glass windows and destroyed the grand organ.
The man, a Rwandan refugee, worked as a volunteer for the cathedral and had been in charge of locking up the building on Friday night, TV channel LCI reported on Sunday, citing a prosecutor.
Now that we realize that it is possible for someone to commit arson on a world-famous cathedral let’s review what happened at Notre Dame.
After closing time (when all of the renovation workers had left) a fire started in what is called the attic at Notre Dame. This is a completely closed off area just under the peak of the roof. As there was no window or opening to the inside of the cathedral the fire grew unnoticed until someone saw the smoke rising from the roof some distance from the cathedral. By that time the fire had grown so large as to be uncontrollable. Arson was immediately dismissed as a possibility and repeatedly it was suggested that a faulty electrical wire was the cause. There was no electricity in the attic whatsoever. It seemed to me at the time, how easy it would be for one of the workmen just before closing time, to have slipped up into the attic, start a fire, and then leave the premises as normal. No one wished to speculate about this possibility or give up claiming that the most likely cause was an electrical fault.
As I saw it, there was a cause for the inability to consider arson. Politically correct wishful thinking didn’t want to risk discovering that the arsonist might be a migrant. I never speculated on who the arsonist might be but was appalled that nobody was interested in whether arson had occurred at all. Once again willful blindness from the left leaves society defenseless against very real dangers.
Even the reporting on this new fire was very strange. Again and again, they repeated that the damage was “not as bad” as with Notre Dame. A five-hundred-year-old organ was completely destroyed and it took 100 firemen hours to defeat the fire. However, don’t be too alarmed because “it wasn’t as bad as Notre Dame.” The sheer lunacy of this attitude should finally be getting through to some of the French. I hope so.
I think it is time to find out who set fire to Notre Dame.

A Word to the Wise for Jews
It is extremely important to know who has your back. Many will claim to have your back until trouble starts and then they are nowhere to be found.
ZOA Sets Up Antisemitism Hotline for New York Times Staffers
ZOA condemns the hostile antisemitic work environment now on full and public display at the NY Times. Bari Weiss’s decision to resign from her position as a writer and editor at the Times highlights the problems of journalists who call out antisemitism on the right and the left, and stand up for Israel.
No journalist should pay a price for expressing these views. In her resignation letter, Weiss revealed that her Times colleagues called her “a Nazi and a racist.” They criticized her for “writing about the Jews again.”
To all journalists: We are with you and we are here to help you. ZOA has a long and proud record of effectively fighting antisemitism and standing up for the rights of Jews and those that support Israel. We do it in the courts, in Congress, in the media, in schools, and on college campuses. Rest assured, ZOA will stand up for you, too.
If you have been bullied, harassed, or even threatened for expressing support for Jews or Israel, please contact us. We will guide you and stand up for your right to express those views – and the public’s right to hear them.
Contact us at (212) 481-1500 or info@zoa.org. Together we will fight this culture of intolerance and hostility and bias and bigotry against Jews and the Jewish State at the NY Times and other media outlets.
In the Jewish world, the traditional anti-Semitism organization to go to has been the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Many Jewish organizations (excepting ZOA) have long been left-leaning and now are straying to the far left. For an organization like ADL to be silent at this point is pathetic. The attack on Synagogues in LA by BLM/Antifa was akin to a pogrom. Violence in Brooklyn against Jews continues as DeBlasio ignores it and attacks his own police force. Tell your Jewish charity rep when he/she contacts you for the donation that you are giving your money to ZOA this year because his/her willfully blind organization did nothing and said nothing while Jews were being attacked. I met Jonathan Greenblatt, the new young hip CEO of ADL, last year. I tried to be positive with him. His speech (mostly generalities) gave me a few openings so I talked to him briefly afterward. I wasted my time. Easy to blow smoke at a show & tell but when the chips are down and you’ve got to defend Jews and it might hurt all your Dem friends politically, you vanish into thin air.
Pathetic.

Can One Young Woman Bring Down the Marxist Mega-Regime?
Yan told Fox News in an exclusive interview that she believes the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus well before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors, renowned as some of the top experts in the field, also ignored research she was doing at the onset of the pandemic that she believes could have saved lives.
Marxist China threatens Hong Kong, this brave young woman, her family, and the health of the whole world. Will this finally break them and reveal the true heart of darkness that has always been at the core of Marxism?
Stay tuned. There is more in store.
John Roberts Brings Back the Back-Alley Abortion
Long long ago before the earth had cooled and the dinosaurs were still roaming, the major reason given why abortion should be made legal was to end “back-alley abortions.” This term meant abortions performed in substandard conditions by medical charlatans. Now, thanks to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, once again women can enjoy having a back-alley abortion.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal wing of the Court Monday in a 5-4 ruling that struck down a Louisiana abortion safety law.
In the majority opinion for June Medical Services v. Russo, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote Louisiana’s law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals to facilitate continuity of care in the event of emergencies has “nothing to do with the State’s asserted interests in promoting women’s health and safety.”
Roberts wrote in his concurrence:
The legal doctrine of stare decisis requires us, absent special circumstances, to treat like cases alike. The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore Louisiana’s law cannot stand under our precedents.
In his dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote regarding the issue of whether abortion providers “[can] be presumed to have third-party standing to challenge health and safety regulations on behalf of their patients”:
Today a majority of the Court perpetuates its ill-founded abortion jurisprudence by enjoining a perfectly legitimate state law and doing so without jurisdiction. As is often the case with legal challenges to abortion regulations, this suit was brought by abortionists and abortion clinics. Their sole claim before this Court is that Louisiana’s law violates the purported substantive due process right of a woman to abort her unborn child. But they concede that this right does not belong to them, and they seek to vindicate no private rights of their own. Under a proper understanding of Article III, these plaintiffs lack standing to invoke our jurisdiction.
Once again conservatives everywhere know that Chief Justice John Roberts is an imbecile.
Justice Roberts and His Cowardly Court
Twice now, Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court astray. In both cases, it was obvious that good legal reasoning and the fundamental principles of the Constitution were being sacked for the sake of political expedience. This is a serious accusation for a man entrusted with the role of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. If we would look to anyone in our government to rise above the politics of the moment it would be the Chief Justice. Unfortunately, in two very critical situations, Justice Roberts succumbed to the intimidation of the mob. This was cowardice.
The Supreme Court’s decision to extend prohibitions against employment discrimination to include sexual orientation and “gender identity” will place religious and traditional organizations at a legal disadvantage when they are inevitably sued by left-wing outfits.
You can not imagine how difficult it was to get an Orthodox synagogue started in a community that had never had one before. It wasn’t the Christian churches that feared competition, they were gracious and encouraging, but it was the Conservative and Reform Jews who didn’t want the Orthodox to have any voice whatsoever. Our persistence and good faith slowly but surely gained everyone’s confidence. We have had marvelous success since then and everyone seems to both love and respect “The Shul.”
The thought that some transgender grifter could now overturn all that hard work and community concern for a hopeless gesture that tries to legitimize a perverse sexual idea that will never be made right with or without the Supreme Court is sickening. Roberts and Gorsuch needed only to read the 1964 Civil Rights Act as textualists to conclude that it was not referring to transgenders at that time. Roberts’s desertion of good conservative principle combined with his ability to drag Gorsuch into this mutiny has left the American religious community dangerously unable to exercise their foundational first amendment protection, the Free Exercise Clause. All of this is because Roberts lacks the courage of his own cause and collapses under pressure from a sick mob.
Of course, this isn’t the first time for Roberts. In 2012, he had an airtight constitutional argument to stop Obamacare in its tracks. Instead of simply going ahead with this and letting the chips fall where they may, he employed midnight last-minute sabotage and flipped the Court with a pathetic decision that was and is the poorest of jurisprudence. He did this to appease Obama’s mob. A more spineless display of judicial cowardice I can’t remember. The result was millions of ordinary people bumped off of their existing healthcare plans and forced to sign up for a plan that cost more with less coverage. Roberts was afraid of the left-wing mob but not afraid of ordinary American citizens and damaging their most basic interests.
Sam Alito, Kavanaugh, and Clarence Thomas stood tall and spoke the words that should have come from Roberts’s mouth.
Alito Warns SCOTUS Decision Is a Threat to Religious Liberty
Briefs filed by a wide range of religious groups—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—express deep concern that the position now adopted by the Court “will trigger open conflict with faith based employment practices of numerous churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious institutions.” They argue that “[r]eligious organizations need employees who actually live the faith,” and that compelling a religious organization to employ individuals whose conduct flouts the tenets of the organization’s faith forces the group to communicate an objectionable message.
This problem is perhaps most acute when it comes to the employment of teachers. A school’s standards for its faculty “communicate a particular way of life to its students,” and a “violation by the faculty of those precepts” may undermine the school’s “moral teaching.” Thus, if a religious school teaches that sex outside marriage and sex reassignment procedures are immoral, the message may be lost if the school employs a teacher who is in a same-sex relationship or has undergone or is undergoing sex reassignment. Yet today’s decision may lead to Title VII claims by such teachers and applicants for employment.
If it were possible to impeach Roberts without actually helping the left I’d be all in. Maybe a social snub would be in order. Something that would make him feel the contempt people have for his desertion of principle. Something that would stick with him for the rest of his days. That would be justice, poetic justice, but justice just the same.
