"The insurrectionist next door: A new source of suburban unease" by Maura Judkis The Washington Post, January 16, 2021
They live on Arlington Road.
The radicalization of Trump supporters from all walks of life became jarringly apparent this month when a phalanx of lawyers, nurses, police officers, real estate agents and stay-at-home parents found common cause - terrorizing lawmakers for not overturning the results of a presidential election - with conspiracy mongers and violent white supremacists. Amid the throngs were a university professor, a hairdresser, a school therapist, a CEO, a piano teacher, an Olympic gold-medalist swimmer and a state representative from West Virginia. A Frisco, Texas, woman, Jenna Ryan, flew to the rally from Texas on a private plane, and posted a video from the riot where she hawked her professional services.
Y'all should know she is a realtor, as people move to Texas in droves, and the ex-representative was accused of harassing women at an abortion clinic before he stormed the Capitol.
Back in the quiet, well-to-do neighborhoods of America, the constitution of the mob raised unnerving questions. Do I know any of these people, and is anyone I know capable of this? The last time the U.S. Capitol was sacked, in 1812, the perpetrators were British soldiers. This time, it might have been the guy a few houses down who always keeps his lawn immaculately mowed, or the woman across the street - the one who was always getting in trouble with the homeowner's association, or maybe the man down the block, with whom they'd always politely change the subject whenever politics came up. The insurrectionist next door.
They might have been people like Michael Ganz, whose neighbor in the Indiana Dunes, Ind., area described him as a well-known contractor and restaurant owner.
"He seemed a little bit more like one of those wealthy guys who likes the low taxes and dismantling regulations, rather than an ideological Trumper," says his neighbor, Kathryn. Like some others The Post interviewed for this story, she asked to be identified by her first name only. She had heard from another neighbor that Ganz was posting photos on social media from the Capitol steps, and then saw that he had done an interview with the Chicago Tribune about his participation in the riot, falsely blaming the riot on "antifa," a loosely defined group of militant left-wing activists.
"I saw no violence, nothing destroyed, no fights," said Ganz, who claimed he did not enter the Capitol building, in an interview with Tribune columnist Jerry Davich. "This handful of antifa (probably staged by very powerful people), to make Trump supporters look bad, were handled quickly."
Kathryn was appalled, so she reported Ganz to the FBI.
As the Wa$hington Compo$t applauds.
They have gone full totalitarian communist, and are the epitome of evil in our day.
"I felt like I was participating in a necessary movement to start to make things right again in this country," she says of her decision to turn in her neighbor. "It felt sort of like a patriotic kind of obligation."
A recent release from the Department of Justice said that the FBI "has opened approximately 200 subject case files and received about 140,000 digital media tips from the public. Notably, many of the tips are coming from friends, co-workers and other acquaintances of those allegedly involved in the attack."
Other acquaintances?
Like, people who don't like you?
That became a problem in Afghanistan and Iraq, you know.
A Chicagoan named Alex made the same calculation when she saw one of her neighbors posting Snapchat footage from the riot. In the video, she observed her neighbor "very close to the Capitol" and shouting through a megaphone: "He was instigating violence, saying 'We should destroy this stuff and steal all of this.' " Another friend had taken screenshots of the video, which Alex included when she filled out the FBI's online form to report him. She says she has not heard back from the Bureau, and the neighbor's name has not appeared on any lists of those who have been arrested.
Must be an agent provocateur then.
Alex and her neighbor used to be friends two years ago, she says, but she started keeping her distance after he had behaved rudely toward her. Now, she says she plans to ignore him completely if she sees him on the street.
"It's kind of scary that I was so close to what we call now a domestic terrorist," says Alex. "I never thought that ever in my life I would live next to somebody that has malicious intentions against our country."
They spread CV, too, so INTO THE CAMP THEY GO!
Never coming back out, either. Family will be told died of CV and there will be nothing they can do about it, in fact, better say good to the state official when he tells you -- if it's not delivered via e-mail first.
Think I'm nuts?
All I'm saying is take the pre$$ at face value and what they are saying.
The problem with the insurrectionist next door, says Laura, a resident of Siloam Springs, Ark., is that they think their intentions are good. Laura and her neighbor, who attended Trump’s pre-riot rally in Washington, “are both Christians, or claim to be, which is really confusing,” she says. “He really believes that this is God’s plan for America.”
They will need to be disabused of that notion, unlike tyrannical Democrats who are veering towards outright Communism and complete totalitarianism.
Her neighbor had described the D.C. pilgrimage in religious terms, she says: He went to pray for Trump to somehow be made the winner of the election. Then Laura saw he'd posted on Facebook that he had made it to the back steps of the Capitol and shared a photo of the rubber bullets he'd picked up there as a souvenir. This, to Laura, was proof that "he was somewhere he was not supposed to be," so she, too, reported her neighbor to the feds.
"I didn't enjoy it, but it was the right thing to do," she says. "I'm White, I have a lot of privilege. I don't have to be afraid, but that's not true for everybody."
You won't be having that privilege much longer.
She says she is praying for him.
Better pray for yourself instead.
Other people didn't see their neighbors at the Capitol on Jan. 6, but fear they could turn up there on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day.
In some neighborhoods, the presence of an insurrectionist next door is a matter of nervous speculation. Jake, who lives in Boston, was appalled when a neighbor put a QAnon sign on her fence a few months ago. (QAnon is a sprawling conspiracy theory that includes many unhinged beliefs, chief among them that various Democrats and other Trump opponents are part of a satanic cabal of child sex-traffickers.) Jake thought his neighbor might be crazy, but in the interest of keeping the peace he maintained a friendly relationship with her.
I no longer have questions about Q. It put out real stuff, but it has all the hallmarks of a cla$$-controlled psyop and has kept the truth and liberty people deceived and passive the last four years, softening them up for this very moment where they are now demonized as domestic terrorists. This as their alleged champion Trump abandons them to the Communist Democrat mob.
That's not "conspiracy," either. I'm taking the Globe at face value. It's their words, not mine.
"Our dogs know one another. We wave and say 'Hi,' " he says.
Watching videos of last week's violent siege, he noticed a rioter wearing a T-shirt with the same QAnon logo that was on his neighbor's fence.
What was once an unsettling but ultimately funny quirk about a crazy neighbor now seems like part of something larger and more sinister. "It's a little more disturbing now," Jake says. "You see the online violent rhetoric of the true believers turn into actual violence against a republic. You know, you don't know what somebody is capable of."
That is where the print copy left it!
The web version kept knocking:
A woman from Coos County, Ore., who asked The Post to withhold her entire name because she lives in a small town and fears for her safety, has a neighbor whose political posture was never funny to her. He has said racist things about Muslims, she says, and taunted her for being a Democrat. When he put up a Trump-Pence sign during the election, he pointed it not at the street but directly at her house. She responded by blocking his sign with one of her own, advertising the candidacy of a local Democrat. Their proxy fight continued, eventually leading to a shouting match.
Look who is doing the taunting now, huh?
The day after the Capitol riot, she heard gunfire coming from her neighbor's yard. She says she peeked through a gap in the fence and saw that her neighbor and a friend had erected a target range. Her thoughts turned to news reports about armed demonstrations that Trump supporters planned to hold at all 50 state capitals.
"I thought, 'Oh, my God,' " the woman says. Could that be what her neighbor was practicing for? "My stomach started turning," she says. "My hands were shaking."
Was she even safe in her home? What about her cats, who sometimes roamed into his yard?
She's planning to keep tabs through the window in the days leading up to inauguration. She's going to watch and see if his car is gone for a few days. She's going to watch to see if his face turns up on the news.....
Yes, watch your neighbor like a good East German, according to the Wa$hington Compo$t.
That is how you will survive in Biden's AmeriKa -- if you survive the purge.
Who knows?
Your neighbor could be the man arrested in Washington with a gun and ‘unauthorized’ inauguration credential, according to authorities and the New York Times. Those who stormed the Capitol could live anywhere from Alaska to Maine.
The Globe says forget forgiveness, police departments must take a hard line on insurrectionist and white supremacist cops and by failing to root out officers who espouse hateful views, municipalities have given a green light to extremism (the BLM/Antifa sacking of cities over Floyd was used to sow the ground for this very action) as I weeping for my country because Trump and other authorities largely did nothing as the Republic was destroyed and consigned to the dustbin of history despite the far-right talk parroting a coming civil war and the restoration of the Republic.
{@@##$$%%^^&&}
Now juxtapose what is above with the Globe's ostensible page A1, above-the-fold, lead and feature:
"Biden’s challenge: Preaching unity at the scene of Trump’s insurrection" by Liz Goodwin Globe Staff, January 16, 2021
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden, who ran on a message of unity and healing, will be sworn in as the country’s 46th president on Wednesday at the literal scene of a crime.
They will have that after the purge.
One hand on the Bible, the other in the air, Biden will stand in front of the US Capitol just two weeks after angry supporters of President Trump, including white supremacists, breached and then ransacked the building, leading to five deaths. The tanks, razor-wire-covered fences, and thousands of National Guard troops surrounding the stage will only further emphasize the precariousness of the peaceful transfer of power this year in a dystopian scene that clashes loudly with the inauguration’s official theme: “America United.”
It’s a theme that also clashes with the mood of many Democrats after watching Trump, aided by many members of his party, attempt to steal an election and disenfranchise millions of voters.
That's upside down, and once again the pre$$ is projecting the very behavior which the Democrats are guilty; however, it will soon be sedition to say so or even hint at it.
“Why do we think we can have unity and no justice?” asked LaTosha Brown, cofounder of the Black Voters Matter grass-roots organization that helped mobilize Black voters in Georgia and other swing states. “What’s very frustrating to me is usually ‘unity’ is reduced to meaning white comfort.”
Gotta make the crackers uncomfortable, got it.
The turn-in headline says "Biden's challenge: forming a more perfect union."
F**king cryptic, isn't it?
At a time when the political system has been rocked to its core, it’s fitting, in a sense, that Biden’s unwavering message of uniting, returning to “normalcy,” and righting the ship of US democracy will take center stage this coming week. The outbreak of political violence underscores Biden’s campaign message that Trump, in encouraging extremism and racism, is a danger to the country, but this moment also presents a formidable challenge to Biden’s hopeful vision of a post-Trump America, a place where Republicans would experience an “epiphany” about bipartisanship and join with magnanimous Democrats in a narrowly divided Congress to prove his mantra that “there’s nothing we can’t do if we do it together.”
Before the 6th, the pre$$ was saying the system had held despite the political effect of Trump, and how odd that it is totalitarian Democrats who benefited most from the "siege of the Capitol" blah, blah, blah.
Democratic lawmakers, many of whom feared for their lives as the mob overran the Capitol, are arguing that justice must come before healing. The House impeached Trump for the second time on Wednesday, and a Senate trial to convict him could begin shortly after Biden is sworn in.
They mean VENGEANCE!
If Trump is convicted, senators could move to bar him from holding future office or take a separate vote to strip him from receiving post-presidential perks. There’s also a movement to expel any lawmakers who were found to have encouraged the riot.
“We need accountability in order to achieve unity,” said Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts. “We can’t turn a blind eye.”
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
The thirst for justice mirrors the attitude of voters overall. A slim majority of voters in a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll said they believe Trump should be barred from holding future office; while nearly 90 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said the same. A similar share of Democrats believe Trump should be charged with a crime for inciting the attack.
Biden has named those who attacked the Capitol “thugs” and called for their prosecution, as well as for a thorough investigation into the events of Jan. 6, but he’s stayed far away from the question of consequences for Trump himself, or for Republican lawmakers.
He was not only silent this summer as Democrat mobs sacked cities, he encouraged it.
The double standard hypocrisies are so brazen they defy description at this point.
“I’m not going to tell the Justice Department who they should prosecute and who they should not,” Biden told reporters on Jan. 8. He also said he didn’t believe Senators Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley should be expelled from the Senate for pumping up the false claims of fraud and leading the congressional movement to contest the election results.
Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, declined to say if Trump should be barred from holding office again in an interview with The Washington Post on Friday.
“The president is going to be on trial before the Senate — that’s going to be their business to sort out,” Klain said. “Our focus is on trying to get things done for the country.”
I no longer give a f**k about Trump. He's now a distraction.
The reticence reflects both Biden’s reluctance to give a partisan sheen to any future consequences for the raid, as well as his desire to quickly move on from the Trump years when he takes office. Biden and his team have emphasized that they don’t want a Senate trial to overshadow his agenda, which is topped by battling the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. He introduced a $1.9 trillion relief package last week and outlined his vaccine distribution plan.
Markey said he believes the trial can be brief so that senators can also focus on approving Biden’s legislative priorities and nominations.
“We don’t need a long-winded investigation or multiple-weeks-long trial to determine that Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” he said, pointing out that he and other lawmakers are eyewitnesses to the crime.
OMFG!!!!!!
Yeah, you only need that if it is Mueller at the helm, and who cares about the discovery of evidence or a defense, 'eh, Ed?
What an ABSOLUTE F**KING $CUMBAG!
Even before Trump’s supporters sacked the Capitol, Biden’s promise to unite the country and work with Republicans seemed like a daunting undertaking, and garnered plenty of skepticism from progressive Democrats who believed he was naïve about the GOP’s intent to obstruct him. Since then, a global pandemic, economic woes, and Trump and many Republicans lying to their base about the election being “stolen” from them has created more division and anger than ever.
No, the ma$$ media did that and they fan the flames every day.
A majority of House Republicans still voted to toss out millions of legally cast votes in the hours after the mob attack, displaying a harrowing problem for Biden and the country: a party that continues to embrace an anti-democratic lie that delegitimizes his administration; meanwhile, many congressional Democrats are furious at their GOP colleagues for stoking the lies, their anger intensified by a recent COVID-19 outbreak they trace to sharing a hiding space during the insurrection with some Republicans who refused to wear masks.
“There will be no reset button. No return to normal,” Representative Ayanna Pressley of Boston tweeted on Thursday, in what appears to be a veiled warning to Biden not to embrace a nostalgic message that ignores the systemic injustices plaguing the nation. “The status quo was unjust in the first place.”
There you go, straight from the communi$t queenmaker in Bo$ton.
Biden’s team knows that not everyone is buying into the inauguration’s unity message.
“This whole ‘America United’ theme ... I know there are folks who are skeptical of that theme,” Maju Varghese, executive director of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said at a Georgetown Institute of Politics event on Thursday. “I don’t blame them,” but Varghese added that coming together is the only way for the country to function. “I don’t know another way,” he said.
Neither do I.
Being a peaceful people by nature, they have exceeded patience all this time.
Some would call that inaction.
Biden himself referenced the skepticism in a speech on Friday about his vaccine plan.
“Unity is not some pie-in-the-sky dream,” he said. “It is a practical step to getting things done.”
Oh, man, that is so cryptic.
You WILL GET UNITY if you ELIMINATE ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE YOU!
Gee, he even looks like Biden!
While the contents of Biden’s inaugural address are a closely guarded secret, Varghese said he would expect Biden to channel hope and optimism in his remarks, as well as being blunt about the challenges the country faces.
One Biden ally said the president-elect realizes that unity is impossible without Americans operating from the same set of facts, but that, too, seems optimistic given how many rioters parroted the dark and fantastical claims of the “Q” conspiracy theory, which the FBI has labeled a terrorist threat.
Meaning you either accept the Party line as the evil corruption of $tinking elites is buried forever along with your physical body in a mass CV grave, which will then be memorialized as a shrine to the false flag narrative of history, or you're gone.
“I think Joe Biden understands that we have to be united in truth,” said Representative Stephen Lynch of South Boston. “We can’t proceed in a way that is united and strong if we’re chasing a fiction, if we’re entertaining some alternative reality.”
What we are being asked to accept IS an alternative reality.
And what is truth anyway?
Chuck Hagel, the former GOP senator from Nebraska who served as defense secretary in the Obama administration, said he believes Biden may, counter-intuitively, actually be helped by the violent events of January.
For those who remember, Hagel came in for huge criticism from the Israeli Lobby during confirmation because he was a member of the Saudi-funded Atlantic Council.
Many Americans, including Republicans, were repulsed by what they saw, and even Senator Mitch McConnell, who will be the GOP minority leader in the Senate, has broken with Trump over the attack, leaving open the possibility of convicting Trump in an impeachment trial. That bodes well for the possibility of Republicans helping Biden pass pieces of his agenda in the future, Hagel said.
“In a way, President-elect Biden is going to have some wind at his back,” said Hagel. “With all the problems he’s got to deal with — COVID, the economy, and a divided country ― I think most people in this country are sick and tired of what they’ve seen in our country over the past few years.”
It's more than the last few years, Chuck. Try decades.
Reaching across the aisle and unifying is a message Biden has been preaching for decades. “He’s lived that,” Hagel said. “That’s who he is.”
Here is how he will get that "unity":
"Unity without justice is dangerous, historians say. Just look at the Civil War" by Dasia Moore Globe Staff, January 16, 2021
Joe Biden begins his presidency on Wednesday in a nation scarred by far-right violence and steeped in disunion.
Historians say one lesson to learn from the aftermath of that war is not to rush toward a false sense of unity, but to first take unflinching action against harmful ideologies and the people who spread them, to secure liberty for all rather than trade it away.
So undocumented illegals get amnesty, but you don't even if you had nothing to do with the false flag psyop tarring Trump and anyone who dissents from Democrat rule.
These people should never have been allowed to gain power as the Globe's hateful and vengeful propaganda will show.
“Healing and unity came without justice [after the Civil War]. That’s what’s at stake here,” said David Blight, a historian of that era and a professor at Yale University. “There needs to be institutional confrontation,” but as congressional Democrats seek to hold President Trump accountable for inciting a deadly mob and Americans outraged by the violent attack call for swift action against insurrectionists, Republican officials, even those who echoed Trump’s false and destructive claims, have largely called for forgiveness, unity, and healing.
Those calls have been dismissed by Democrats and the pre$$ as disingenuous.
Such steps toward reconciliation can occur only once Americans agree on the harm that was done and wrongdoers are held accountable, experts said. Anything less would amount to papering over divisions, leaving victimized communities unprotected and democratic institutions in peril.
Even on the personal level, forgiveness is a two-way street, explained philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, a professor at New York University.
“Forgiveness … is usually the right response to an apology and acknowledgment by someone that they’ve done wrong,” Appiah said. “The first step is, is there to be an agreement between you that a wrong has occurred?”
Yeah, stealing an election isn't harmful or all the Democrat corruption and stench all these years, none of that was wrong.
They want you to be like an AA member and bow down to the higher authority.
As things currently stand, Appiah said, Americans agree on very little.
Some on the right insist that the Capitol attack is no different from the largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, a comparison that ignores insurrectionists’ documented goal of disrupting a democratic process and the intentional chaos and violence they stoked. The myth that animated the mob — that the presidency was stolen — continues to find support in Congress, with 147 Republicans voting to dismiss 2020 election results just hours after the attack.
When Democrats questioned the election of Bish in 2000 and 2004 and Trump in 2016, that was okay, and the BLM burnings -- no fires at the Capitol -- were "largely peaceful."
These f**king bastards are the most disingenuous and belong on a garrote.
A belief in “conversation across differences” grounds much of Appiah’s scholarly work, he said, “but conversation is an activity that takes place between consenting adults. If the other people don’t want to talk, or are just bent on destroying you or destroying what you take to be the shared basis of coexistence, there’s not much you can do except defend yourself.”
I know the feeling very well right now because it's the conduct Democrats are guilty of in fact.
The consequences of forcing unity under such circumstances fall disproportionately on marginalized communities, said Martha Minow, an expert on political and legal forgiveness who is a professor at Harvard Law School. For those most threatened by violent ideologies, forgiveness without accountability is “a perpetuation of the original wrong,” Minow said.
“There is, sadly, lots of experience in this country [and] elsewhere that groups that have been disadvantaged structurally [and] historically are often expected to be forgiving,” she said. “Certainly that’s true for African Americans and women.”
Stop it with the endless victimhood.
Ultimately, entire societies pay the price for allowing harm to go unaddressed and unaccounted for, Minow said, as those who wish to sow further division can easily exploit neglected wounds and injustice perpetuated.
“If you haven’t had some serious efforts at accountability … there are ongoing rifts always available to be manipulated and stoked, and we have examples of that all over the world,” she said, citing multiple countries where unaddressed grievances served as tinder for war and genocide.
Thanks for the warning, and we are here because the war criminals Clinton, Bush, Obama,and Biden, haven't been held accountable for their crimes, as well as the entire ruling cla$$ of this country.
We also have an example much closer to home, Minow said, in the aftermath of the Civil War.
When the country emerged from war, a political and moral battle over white racial primacy ensued, said Blight, who wrote “Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory.”
The central question facing the country in that period resonates in this moment, he said: “Can you have cultural healing — meaningful healing — without justice being done on some level, to some degree, for those most harmed by the history that led to this event?”
The revisionist historian tells a total lie there because the ONLY MOTIVATION was to REUNITE the UNION!
That was what was behind Lincoln's malice towards none policy. Southern state legislatures that passed bills renouncing the Confederacy and adopting emancipation measures were granted amnesty.
For a time, during the period known as Reconstruction, historians said, the federal government responded to that question by legislating and protecting newly emancipated people’s rights. The country’s first Civil Rights Act barring race-based discrimination was passed in 1870 and granted Black men the right to vote. In a short period, Black Americans were elected to state and national legislatures and built thriving institutions and economies, but the white South wanted “reconciliation” in the form of absolution for their rebellion and a return to power over the region and its Black inhabitants, historians say.
Once again, history is distorted. The South was not in any position to demand anything after having lost the war. Losers are never in the position of demanding anything.
Ultimately, the nation conceded, said Henry Louis Gates Jr., a leading scholar of US history and race and a Harvard University professor.
Federal oversight of the former Confederacy faded away. Rebel generals were granted amnesty. Plantation land was returned to enslavers. Civil rights legislation was struck down or ignored, not to be revived until the 1960s. Sharecropping and vagrancy laws worked in tandem to effectively reinstitute the cruelties and privation of slavery. Black Americans’ political and financial gains were all but wiped out by legal discrimination and unrestrained racist violence.
What Gates and the Globe scrub away there is the election of 1876 and the removal of Union troops occupying the South (something they called federal oversight, in accordance with the slide into communism).
The reason the Globe scrubs the election is because it parallels our times and makes Democrats look bad. If I remember may history correctly, and I do, the Republican candidate won election and the electoral college until Republican votes were removed from Southern totals, thus depriving the Republican candidate of victory. The affair was sent to Congress, which then set up a bipartisan committee to investigate.
A deal was soon hatched whereby the Democrats -- the party of racism and slavery, folks -- would withdraw their complaints and allow the ascension of a Republican to the presidency in exchange for the removal of Union troops from the South, thus setting the stage for Jim Crow.
North and South were unified, but under the banner of white supremacy, Gates said.
“It was a bogus form of reconciliation. It was a bogus form of reunion, because it was at [Black] people’s expense,” he said. “The North forgave the South ... at the expense of the belief that Black people and white people are fundamentally the same and equal as American citizens.”
Well, they were released from slavery and declared free.
Why is he pooh-poohing that?
That trade-off between justice and unity for some Americans at the expense of others allowed racial grievance and white supremacy to persist, historians said.
Several pointed to the enduring power today of Confederate symbolism, distilled in photos of a rioter who marched the Confederate battle flag through the Capitol. The man was photographed walking past portraits of John C. Calhoun, a fierce proponent of slavery who helped lay the groundwork for secession, and Charles Sumner, an abolitionist, whose likenesses hang almost side by side in the nation’s most hallowed halls.
“The issues central to Reconstruction have never been resolved in this country,” Gates said. Citizenship and voting rights, the meaning of democracy, economic exploitation — “These issues continue to roil our society and politics today, making an understanding of Reconstruction even more vital,” he said.
If they were, he would be out of a job!
The legacy of Civil War-era reconciliation also lives on in contemporary calls for unity, experts said.
Time and time again since the Civil War, the United States has chosen to “let bygones be bygones,” said historian Carol Anderson, a professor at Emory University. “When we don’t hold folks accountable for the violence that they do to American democracy, we end up with insurrectionists storming into our national Legislature,” she said.
But not for lying us into mass-murdering wars.
True unity is possible, experts said, but only through fulfilling what could be called the abandoned aims of Reconstruction: accountability and a radical restructuring of unequal systems.
Like what the World Economic Forum's GREAT RE$ET calls for!
Experts offered a range of first steps: consequences for those who incited and participated in the Capitol riot; frank messaging from political leaders who can persuasively dismiss conspiracies and bring Americans to a shared, honest understanding of reality; investment in public education and economic supports that could help siphon away backing from white supremacist movements.
Also known as Republicans now, and reality will be what the pre$$ says it is despite your lying eyes!
In many ways, the actions the country must consider in this moment echo the demands that civil rights activists have made for generations, including the call for equal justice in law enforcement, said Tomiko Brown-Nagin, dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
“Civil rights organizations and policy experts have offered numerous other proposals pertaining to education, climate change, health care, voting, and employment. All are especially worthy of consideration during this volatile historical moment,” she said.
Look at them throw everything but the kitchen sink into it!
Taking the long and difficult road to unity is ultimately what Americans owe one another, said Appiah of New York University.
“One of the things we owe our fellow citizens is to treat them seriously. Treating people seriously means both trying to understand them and holding them responsible if they’ve done something wrong,” he said. “It’s not easy to see how to get out of this, but I don’t think ... that freedom without repentance is a good idea.”
Yup, you BETTER REPENT, sinner!

"Capitol attack could fuel extremist recruitment for years, experts warn" by Neil MacFarquhar, Jack Healy, Mike Baker and Serge F. Kovaleski New York Times, January 16, 2021
Overthrowing the government. Igniting a second Civil War. Banishing racial minorities, immigrants and Jews. Or simply sowing chaos in the streets.
The ragged camps of far-right groups and white nationalists emboldened under President Trump have long nursed an overlapping list of hatreds and goals, but now they have been galvanized by the outgoing president’s false claims that the election was stolen from him — and by the violent attack on the nation’s Capitol that hundreds of them led in his name.
Please do not fall for the establishment’s tall tales because there was no violent assault on the Capitol and there is abundant evidence of electoral fraud.
“The politicians who have lied, betrayed and sold out the American people for decades were forced to cower in fear and scatter like rats,” one group, known for pushing the worst anti-Semitic tropes, commented on Twitter the day after the attack.
That clues you in as to his is ultimately behind all this.
The Capitol riots served as a propaganda coup for the far-right, and those who track hate groups say the attack is likely to join an extremist lexicon with Waco, Ruby Ridge and the Bundy occupation of an Oregon wildlife preserve in fueling recruitment and violence for years to come.
It is the EXACT OPPOSITE!
It is the DEMOCRATS and E$TABLI$HMENT that have benefited from the stunt, for all the evidence of electoral fraud was never seen!
The "far right" is being demonized!
Even as dozens of rioters have been arrested, chat rooms and messaging apps where the far-right congregates are filled with celebrations and plans. An ideological jumble of hate groups and far-right agitators — the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, the Boogaloo movement and neo-Nazis among them — are now discussing how to expand their rosters and whether to take to the streets again this weekend and next week to oppose the inauguration of Joe Biden.
Was that before or after Google, Amazon, and Apple shut them all down?
Btw, they are NOT going to be taking the streets so anything that happens will be false flag events.
Some, enraged by their failure to overturn the presidential election, have posted manuals on waging guerrilla warfare and building explosive devices.
Antifa did that and is blowing up train tracks, but no big deal.
Law enforcement officials have responded by beefing up security at airports and creating a militarized “green zone” in downtown Washington. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued an urgent warning that attackers could target federal buildings and public officials in the coming days, and at least 10 states have activated National Guard troops in their capital cities. Some states have canceled legislative activities next week because of the possibility of violence.
That is a good movie, and the kind of thing that coup-plotters do.
Purging extremist groups from mainstream social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter may have succeeded in disrupting their organizing, experts say, but such efforts have pushed them into tougher-to-track forms of communication including encrypted apps that will make it harder to trace extremist activities.
That's why they need the technocratic totalitarianism via vaccine.
“Destroying the platforms could lead to more violence,” said Mike Morris, the Colorado-based founder of Three Percent United Patriots, one of dozens of so-called “patriot” paramilitary groups. Morris said he does not support violence but warned that other groups might find more freedom to plot on encrypted platforms. Morris said his group lost its Facebook account this summer and was recently kicked off MeWe, one of several smaller platforms that have drawn denizens of the far-right.
There is freedom left after all, huh?
Yeah, freedom for the government to create more false flags.
Since last week, dozens of new channels on secure-messaging apps have popped up devoted to QAnon, the far-right conspiracy theory that says Trump is fighting a cabal of Satanists and pedophiles. Many militias have found thousands of new followers in darker corners of the internet, such as one Telegram channel run by the Proud Boys, a violent far-right group, which more than doubled its followers, to more than 34,000 from 16,000.
The cabal is real; Trump's alleged fight against it was more akin to this.
“People saw what we can do. They know what’s up. They want in,” boasted one message on a Proud Boys Telegram channel earlier this week.
Hate groups have been a staple of American life no matter who is in the White House. They have had natural foes when Democrats have held the presidency. Under Trump, they have had an ally.
Goaded by Trump’s calls to “liberate” Democratic-run states locked down by the coronavirus pandemic, far-right groups and rifle-toting extremists forged common cause with some mainstream Republicans upset with government limits on business and public life.
Being anti-tyrannical lockdown will now be consider terrorist.
It all culminated at the “Stop the Steal” rally at the nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6.
Lindsay Schubiner, a program director at the Western States Center focused on countering white nationalism, said it has been frightening to watch the rise of far-right groups in recent years who pose dangers to people of color and LGBTQ communities. Without a major disruption, she expects the extremist groups to remain a risk to public safety and to the nation’s democracy for years to come.
“This isn’t something that can be put back in the bottle — at least not quickly or easily,” Schubiner said.
I not only get sick of the endless commingling of buzzwords, but Trump won historic levels of minority voters.
As for putting things back in the bottle, the web version let it all out:
The president echoed their demonization of immigrants and fears of gun seizures and pushed white grievance into the American mainstream.
Far-right groups were buoyed after Trump spoke of “very fine people on both sides” of the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a white supremacist fatally ran over a peaceful counterprotester with his car. They saw a signal of support when Trump, during a presidential debate, told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”
Again and again last year, they seized on openings created by the pandemic and civil unrest.
Paramilitary groups echoing Trump’s calls for “law and order” showed up armed and outfitted in tactical gear at Black Lives Matter rallies in places like Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis. Right-wing protesters fought in the streets of Portland, Oregon, with left-wing activists. When a 17-year-old was charged with fatally shooting two people at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, armed groups and some conservatives rallied to his side.
In Michigan, armed gunmen stormed the statehouse in Lansing, and prosecutors charged 14 men, including some tied to an armed group called Wolverine Watchmen, with plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in response to lockdown measures she imposed.
That was the result of a couple of FBI instigators, and what a great racket they have going.
You create and set up the very "enemy" you are confronting.
That used to be called entrapment, back when America was free.
As thousands of Trump supporters marched up the Mall, among them were adherents of white supremacist groups, insignia-wearing militia members and far-right Proud Boys.
“Luck may be needed in the Second Civil War,” Larry Rendell Brock Jr., a Texas man charged in connection with the attack, wrote on Facebook in the days before the events in Washington, according to federal prosecutors. Brock had aspired to take hostages, prosecutors said, and tagged the post with the names of two anti-government groups.
At least two prominent activists involved in the 2017 Charlottesville rally were also at the Capitol riots, according to Amy Spitalnick, executive director of Integrity First for America, a nonprofit group underwriting a lawsuit over the violence in Charlottesville.
One of them was Nicholas Fuentes, 22, a far-right agitator whose online diatribes in support of white nationalism and attacks against Jews and LGBT people have attracted a significant following among college students. His followers, waving flags bearing the logo of his America First organization, were seen storming the Capitol. Fuentes, in a video, praised the assault for being more brazen than any Black Lives Matter or anti-fascist protest, though he appears to have stayed outside.
“We forced a joint session of Congress and the vice president to evacuate because Trump supporters were banging down and then successfully burst through the doors,” he exclaimed.
They weren't Trump supporters for he was still speaking down the street.
The attack on the Capitol was likely to become “a significant driver of violence for a diverse set of domestic violent extremists,” an array of government agencies said in a joint intelligence bulletin issued Jan. 13. The storming of the building, several analysts said, could fuel a dangerous pushback against the incoming Biden administration and its agenda on gun control, racial justice, public lands and other issues by extremists who are not afraid to use violence to get their way, but the backlash to the Capitol riot could also diminish them.
Oh, look, a government intelligence report.
Must all be true then!
If such actions would diminish the far-right terrorists, then how would it benefit them and WHO WOULD BENEFIT, 'eh?
After Charlottesville, alt-right leaders fractured amid a torrent of condemnation, infighting and legal action. Two dozen white nationalist leaders and groups are being sued for their role in that rally. No longer in the limelight, Richard Spencer, one of its lead organizers, said he has been crippled by legal fees, has lost social media megaphones and now feels betrayed by his former allies within the alt-right movement.
Spencer is a Jewish agitator!
The immediate aftermath of the Capitol attack has led to arguing among extremists over whether to hold another round of violent rallies or lie low and wait out the arrests, investigations and throngs of police and National Guard troops dispatched to protect statehouses and the Capitol before the inauguration.
Those calling for violence are false friend plants!
Just after the November election, a website called the Tree of Liberty suggested that armed adherents of the Boogaloo movement, an extremist ideology that seeks to overthrow the U.S. government, would carry out an “armed takeover” of Washington and march on all 50 state capitals as a way to voice political grievances and to commemorate a massive armed rally in Richmond, Virginia, a year earlier, but given the security threats, officials in Richmond have closed the area around the Capitol and boarded up the building itself. The Virginia Civil Defense League, which organized last year’s demonstration, has said it would go ahead Monday with a caravan through the streets of Richmond in support of gun rights. The Tree of Liberty website has since been taken down.
The QAnon believers who thronged to the Capitol in Washington have been forced to adjust on the fly after the riot failed and Trump acquiesced to a transition of power. Some are holding out hope for a miracle that will keep Trump in office. Others talk of how Trump was just the start of the plan and now a new phase is beginning. Some far-right groups say they are hoping to capitalize on Republican fears of Democratic control in Washington.
Too late after Q led you astray.
“There’s been quite an influx of people who weren’t really active who are getting more active,” said Casey Robertson, founder of a paramilitary group in Utah, United Citizens Alarm, whose armed members have shadowed Black Lives Matter rallies. “That’s been good. It’s a worrying time.”
Ammon Bundy, who once led an armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge and has sought to build a network of thousands of anti-government allies, said he did not participate in the mob attack at the Capitol and was not aware of what had taken place in Washington until he returned from a trip to the mountains.
In the past year, Bundy has focused much of his efforts opposing government restrictions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, but after getting arrested twice inside the Idaho Capitol over the summer, he said he has grown to believe that the country’s political venues are not a productive place to influence government.
Bundy claims to have nearly 50,000 members organized into local chapters. That may well be hype, but Bundy’s effort to battle the government has helped him build a following in the West.
Time to move to Oregon.
Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, who was arrested in Washington several days before the Capitol attack on charges of carrying illegal ammunition clips and burning a Black Lives Matter banner, now calls the attack on the Capitol a mistake, but he said the far-right movement galvanized by Trump would outlast his presidency.
“I feel like the movement has surpassed the person,” Tarrio said. “He has created this movement that I don’t think anybody can stop. They can try to silence. They can try to de-platform. It’s just going to make it louder.”
Oh, he will be silenced all right.
They are no longer the party of Reagan.

Creepy Uncle Joe isn't going to take long to turn into Stalin:
"Biden seeks quick start with executive actions and aggressive legislation" by Michael D. Shear and Peter Baker New York Times, January 16, 2021
They published this at 3:33 p.m.?
WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden, inheriting a collection of crises unlike any in generations, plans to open his administration with dozens of executive directives on top of expansive legislative proposals in a 10-day blitz meant to signal a turning point for a nation reeling from disease, economic turmoil, racial strife and now the aftermath of the assault on the Capitol.
Biden’s team has developed a raft of decrees that he can issue on his own authority after the inauguration on Wednesday to begin reversing some of President Trump’s most hotly disputed policies. Advisers hope the flurry of action, without waiting for Congress, will establish a sense of momentum for the new president even as the Senate puts his predecessor on trial.
On his first day in office alone, Biden intends a flurry of executive orders that will be partly substantive and partly symbolic. They include rescinding the travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries, rejoining the Paris climate change accord, extending pandemic-related limits on evictions and student loan payments, issuing a mask mandate for federal property and interstate travel and ordering agencies to figure out how to reunite children separated from families after crossing the border, according to a memo circulated on Saturday by Ron Klain, his incoming White House chief of staff, and obtained by The New York Times.
That means the Biden dictatorship gave them the memo.
The blueprint of executive action comes after Biden announced that he will push Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion package of economic stimulus and pandemic relief, signaling a willingness to be aggressive on policy issues and confronting Republicans from the start to take their lead from him.
He also plans to send sweeping immigration legislation on his first day in office providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million people in the country illegally. Along with his promise to vaccinate 100 million Americans for the coronavirus in his first 100 days, it is an expansive set of priorities for a new president that could be a defining test of his deal-making abilities and command of the federal government.
Oh, Biden is a deal-maker now as he offers the illegals amnesty, and we are told the American people voted for this slop!
For Biden, an energetic debut could be critical to moving the country beyond the endless dramas surrounding Trump. In the 75 days since his election, Biden has provided hints of what kind of president he hopes to be — focused on the big issues, resistant to the louder voices in his own party and uninterested in engaging in the Twitter-driven, minute-by-minute political combat that characterized the last four years and helped lead to the deadly mob assault on the Capitol, but in a city that has become an armed camp since the Jan. 6 attack, with inaugural festivities curtailed because of both the coronavirus and the threat of domestic terrorism, Biden cannot count on much of a honeymoon.
Watch the media forget Trump as soon as he is gone now that he has been used up, and the demented Biden will appear energetic, huh?
While privately many Republicans will be relieved at his ascension after the combustible Trump, the troubles awaiting Biden are so daunting that even a veteran of a half-century in politics may struggle to get a grip on the ship of state, and even if the partisan enmities of the Trump era ebb somewhat, there remain deep ideological divisions on the substance of Biden’s policies — on taxation, government spending, immigration, health care and other issues — that will challenge much of his agenda on Capitol Hill.
“You have a public health crisis, an economic challenge of huge proportions, racial, ethnic strife and political polarization on steroids,” said Rahm Emanuel, the former Chicago mayor who served as a top adviser to Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. “These challenges require big, broad strokes. The challenge is whether there’s a partner on the other side to deal with them.”
Oh, look, they talked to the Mossad mole who said never let a crisis go to waste!
Biden’s transition has been unlike that of any other new president, and so will the early days of his administration. The usual spirit of change and optimism that surrounds a newly elected president has been overshadowed by a defeated president who has refused to concede either the election or the spotlight.
The pre$$ is keeping him in the spotlight so you won't see the totalitarian unity Biden is bringing.
Biden spent much of this interregnum trying not to be distracted as he assembled a Cabinet and White House staff of government veterans that look remarkably like the Obama administration that left office four years ago. He put together a team with expansive diversity in race and gender, but without many of the party’s more outspoken progressive figures, to the disappointment of the left.
We all knew it was him and the Clintons pulling the strings of the shadow government.
“He’s obviously prioritized competence and longevity of experience in a lot of his appointments,” said Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., a national co-chairman of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ primary campaign, but he said Biden’s team had reached out to progressives like him. “I do hope we’ll continue to see progressives who tend to be younger and newer to the party fill a lot of the undersecretary and assistant secretary positions even if they’re not at the very top,” Khanna said.
The commissars, as it were.
At the very top will be one of the most familiar figures in modern American politics but one who has appeared to evolve in recent weeks. After a lifetime in Washington, the restless, gabby man of consuming ambition who always had something to say and something to prove seems to have given way to a more self-assured 78-year-old who finally achieved his life’s dream.
Congress has been largely gridlocked for years, and even with Democrats controlling both the House and the Senate, Biden faces an uphill climb after this initial burst of executive actions. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, a former Senate Democratic leader who worked with Biden for years, said the incoming president had an acute sense of the challenges he faced and the trade-offs required.
As leader, Daschle recalled that when things went wrong for him and he would complain, Biden would joke, “I hope that’s worth the car,” referring to the chauffeured ride provided the Senate leader. Now, Daschle said as Biden prepares to move into the Executive Mansion, “I’m almost inclined to say, well, whatever he’s facing now, I hope that’s worth the house.”
I'm sure it is, and the web version kept writing them:
Biden did not feel the need to chase the cameras over the past 10 weeks — indeed, his staff has gone out of its way to protect him from unscripted exposure for fear of any stumbles, a goal that will be harder once in office.
Don't worry, the pre$$ will protect him. They have this far, and if they don't that tells you something as well.
“He is much calmer,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C. and a close ally. “The anxiety of running and the pressure of a campaign, all that’s behind him now. Even after the campaign was over, the election was over, all the foolishness coming from the Trump camp, you don’t know how all this stuff is going to play out. You may know how it’s going to end, but you’re anxious about how it plays out. So all that’s behind him now.”
It's the dementia.
Throughout his career, Biden has been a divining rod for the middle of his party, more moderate in the 1990s when that was in vogue and more liberal during the Obama era when the center of gravity shifted. He is driven less by ideology than by the mechanics of how to put together a bill that will satisfy various power centers. A “fingertip politician,” as he likes to put it, Biden is described by aides and friends as more intuitive about other politicians and their needs than was Obama, but less of a novel thinker.
Wall Street and favored intere$ts will be happy!
While he is famous for foot-in-mouth gaffes, he can be slow to make decisions, with one meeting rolling into the next as he seeks out more opinions. Each morning, he receives a fat briefing book with dozens of tabs in a black binder and reads through it, but he prefers to interact with others. During the transition, he has conducted many of his briefings using Zoom at his desk in the library of his home in Wilmington, Delaware, or at the Queen, the nearby theater where a large screen has been set up.
It's going to be a Max Headroom presidency!
He relishes freewheeling discussion, interrupting aides and chiding them for what he deems overly academic or elitist language. “Pick up your phone, call your mother, read her what you just told me,” he likes to say, according to aides. “If she understands, we can keep talking.” Aides made a point of editing out all abbreviations other than U.N. and NATO.
Yeah, it's Everyman Joe!
As one former aide put it, Biden was the guy in college who was always leading study groups in the dorm, using notecards with his friends, constantly interacting, while Obama was the monastic, scholarly student with oil lamps sitting in a room alone poring through books.
Like Obama — and notably unlike Trump — Biden watches little television news other than perhaps catching “Morning Joe” on MSNBC while on the treadmill or the Sunday talk shows. Aides recall few times he came to them with something he picked up from television.
This is sickening "journali$m."
Biden will be the first true creature of Capitol Hill to occupy the White House since President Gerald Ford in the 1970s. More than recent predecessors, he understands how other politicians think and what drives them, but his confidence that he can make deals with Republicans is born of an era when bipartisan cooperation was valued rather than scorned and he may find that today’s Washington has become so tribal that the old ways no longer apply.
And we know which "tribe" controls both parties!
“Joe Biden is somebody who understands how politicians work and how important political sensitivities are on each side, which is drastically different than President Obama,” said former Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, who as the House Republican leader negotiated with Biden and came to like him. “I would think there may be a time when Washington could get something done,” said Cantor, who lost a Republican primary in 2014 in part because he was seen as too willing to work with Biden. “At this point, I don’t know, the extreme elements on both sides are so strong right now, it’s going to be difficult.”
Biden’s determination to ask Congress for a broad overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws underscores the difficulties. In his proposed legislation, which he plans to unveil on Wednesday, he will call for a path to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented immigrants already living in the United States, including those with temporary status and the so-called Dreamers, who have lived in the country since they were young children.
The bill will include increased foreign aid to ravaged Central American economies, provide safe opportunities for immigration for those fleeing violence, and increase prosecutions of those trafficking drugs and human smugglers, but unlike previous presidents, Biden will not try to win support from Republicans by acknowledging the need for extensive new investments in border security in exchange for his proposals, according to a person familiar with the legislation. That could make his plan far harder to pass in Congress, where Democrats will control both houses, but by a slim margin.
All of which explains why Biden and his team have resolved to use executive power as much as possible at the onset of the administration even as he tests the waters of a new Congress. In his memo to Biden’s senior staff on Saturday, Klain underscored the urgency of the overlapping crises and the need for the new president to act quickly to “reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration.”
While other presidents issued executive actions right after taking office, Biden plans to enact a dozen on Inauguration Day alone, including the travel ban reversal, the mask mandate and the return to the Paris accord. As with many of Trump’s own executive actions, some of them may sound more meaningful than they really are. By imposing a mask mandate on interstate planes, trains and buses, for instance, Biden is essentially codifying existing practice while encouraging rather than trying to require broader use of masks.
On the other side, Biden risks being criticized for doing what Democrats accused Trump of doing in terms of abusing the power of his office through an expansive interpretation of his executive power. Sensitive to that argument, Klain argued in his memo that Biden will remain within the bounds of law. “While the policy objectives in these executive actions are bold, I want to be clear: The legal theory behind them is well-founded and represents a restoration of an appropriate, constitutional role for the president,” Klain wrote to his staff.
Communist Democrat double standards and hypocrisy don't affect them because their $hit don't stink.
On Biden’s second day in office, he will sign executive actions related to the coronavirus pandemic aimed at helping schools and businesses to reopen safely, expand testing, protect workers and clarify public health standards.
On his third day, he will direct his Cabinet agencies to “take immediate action to deliver economic relief to working families,” Klain wrote in the memo.
The subsequent seven days will include more executive actions and directives to his Cabinet to expand “Buy America” provisions, “support communities of color and other underserved communities,” address climate change and start an effort to reunite families separated at the border.
Almost as if he is GOD creating the WORLD, huh?
Klain did not provide details about the executive actions, leaving unclear whether they will be merely statements of intent, like many of Trump’s executive actions, and he conceded that much of the agenda developed by Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would require action by Congress.
They won't be able to keep up with the workload, especially with a trail in the Senate.
{@@##$$%%^^&&}
He will also be curing CV-19 in his first 100 days:
"If you’ve been closely following the state’s COVID-19 data reports, you might now be feeling a twinge of long-overdue optimism. New infections, deaths, and hospitalizations all seem to have leveled off or even started to dip in recent days. Could the pandemic have peaked? Is there light on the horizon? Three prominent experts had a consistent reply to those questions: Not so fast. The crystal ball remains cloudy. Unpredictable variables will determine the future path of the pandemic, especially how rapidly a new and more infectious coronavirus variant spreads in the state, whether the pace of vaccinations quickens, and if a public weary of restrictions is willing to stick with disease-prevention measures, and with the new variant likely already present in state, “there is every reason to believe it is going to cause a huge spike in cases.”
I'm told the countervailing force is the vaccine, and I'm feeling sick from reading the Globe's $elf-$erving lies and distortions.
How odd that Democrat calls for reopen are being paired with good news regarding CV-19 as Biden prepares to assume office.
Flipping below the fold finds:
Hope you enjoyed your last Christmas in the bat cave:
"Although Thailand was the first country outside of China to confirm a case of COVID-19 — in a Chinese tourist visiting in early January — the nation had appeared since May to have all but strangled local transmission. Thais have been generally vigilant about wearing face masks, and the country’s borders were ordered closed to prevent the virus from arriving from abroad, but in recent weeks, the coronavirus has begun spreading across the country after first being identified in migrant communities working along the porous border with Myanmar. Thailand went from no cases of local transmission in months to reporting hundreds of cases a day in late December and January. Xenophobia has spiked, along with chiroptophobia, the fear of bats....."
They are ugly looking creatures, and “there’s no COVID there.”
They are lamenting the stigma label as the coronavirus strain spreads around the world, according to the Wa$hington Compo$t, and they never isolated first one so it's looking more and more like the world fell for season cold and flu all dressed up in CV-19 clothing.
I literally need to drive away from this as fast as I can:
"How to (literally) drive the coronavirus away" by Emily Anthes New York Times, January 16, 2021
The results jibe with public health guidelines that recommend opening windows to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus in enclosed spaces. “It’s essentially bringing the outdoors inside, and we know that the risk outdoors is very low,” said Joseph Allen, a ventilation expert at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. In an op-ed last year, he highlighted the danger that cars could pose for coronavirus transmission, and the potential benefits of opening the windows. “When you have that much turnover of air, the residence time, or how much time the aerosols stay inside the cabin, is very short,” Allen said.
They simply want to see HOW STUPID they can make you be, citizen.
They want you to DRIVE AROUND in the DEAD of WINTER with the CAR WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN, and when you catch cold they will call it COVID!
So what's next, a butt plug because farts spread CV (means masks don't work then)?
Because it is not always practical to have all the windows wide open, especially in the depths of winter, Mathai and his colleagues also modeled several other options. They found that while the most intuitive-seeming solution — having the driver and the passenger each roll down their own windows — was better than keeping all the windows closed, an even better strategy was to open the windows that are opposite each occupant. That configuration allows fresh air to flow in through the back left window and out through the front right window and helps create a barrier between the driver and the passenger.
Basing it all on MODELS!
“It’s like an air curtain,” Mathai said. “It flushes out all the air that’s released by the passenger, and it also creates a strong wind region in between the driver and the passenger.”
Something needs to be flushed, all right, and that is where the print copy ran out of gas.
Richard Corsi, an air quality expert at Portland State University, praised the new study. “It’s pretty sophisticated, what they did,” he said, although he cautioned that changing the number of passengers in the car or the driving speed could affect the results.
Corsi, a co-author of the op-ed with Allen last year, has since developed his own model of the inhalation of coronavirus aerosols in various situations. His results, which have not yet been published, suggest that a 20-minute car ride with someone who is emitting infectious coronavirus particles can be much riskier than sharing a classroom or a restaurant with that person for more than an hour.
It's enough to send you into orbit, isn't it?
“The focus has been on superspreader events” because they involve a lot of people, he said, “but I think what sometimes people miss is that superspreader events are started by somebody who’s infected who comes to that event, and we don’t speak often enough about where that person got infected.”
Not BLM/Antifa riots, though.
In a follow-up study, which has not yet been published, Mathai found that opening the windows halfway seemed to provide about the same benefit as opening them fully, while cracking them just one-quarter of the way open was less effective.
Mathai said that the general findings would most likely hold for many four-door, five-seat cars, not just the Prius. “For minivans and pickups, I would still say that opening all windows or opening at least two windows can be beneficial,” he said. “Beyond that, I would be extrapolating too much.”
Ride-sharing companies should be encouraging this research, Mathai said. He sent a copy of his study to Uber and Lyft, he said, but has not received a response.....
The Globe driving me away fast, folks!
