HAPPY NEW YEAR! And I believe it really will be considering what we’ve ALL GONE THROUGH in 2021. Seems long overdue to reintroduce Washington DC to BASIC COMMON SENSE. Democrats are bailing from positions because they can read the writing on the wall (or someone explained recent events to them).
The 2022 Mid terms will likely be a slaughter house for the Demo Rats unless they can revive their dead voter base again, and illegal voters, non existent voters, foreign voters,…..the ballot tabulating tricks used by their high tech agents of fraud. ALL TRAITORS TO OUR COUNTRY AND SYSTEM OF JUSTICE. On and on it goes with such UNETHICAL and IMMORAL INDIVIDUALS in charge of OUR GOVERNMENT. They enter government like the rest of us yet leave as millionaires which is not reconciled with their pay scale received. Humm, from where could such unexplained fortunes in undocumented cash and property possibly originate? Gosh….for what possible purpose? Who might possibly want to bestow great wealth on American Politicians already compensated for their service to the public? Why would these politicians be provided FURTHER PAYMENT when the American Public has already clearly voiced their extreme opposition and disapproval with the outrageously idiotic activities of this administration and its handlers?
Surely I am not the only one to recognize the hypocrisy of this DEMO RAT run organization (all about the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and DIGNITY OF EVERY CITIZEN) when they actively participate in such cruel exploitation of a well known American elder. Democrats have quite a lengthy history cheating at elections but even when they win (by unethically/illegally stealing an election) they still lose miserably when it comes to effectively running and protecting the country and her citizens – who are now themselves exposed to a much greater physical and economic threat than before this “LET’S GO BRANDON” farce of a legitimate government administration took over.
Seriously, consider the massive failures that have already happened in only one year! MONUMENTAL FAILURES (Hey,m since they removed the traditional statutes we’ll have plenty of room for “LET’S GO BRANDON” markers all over the country! Yup, MEGA HISTORIC! LET’S GO BRANDON sure will have a special place in American History along with all the BIG NAMES who have supported such lunacy. Poor ‘ol Joe is an obvious victim of severe elder abuse AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT RESCUING HIM – not even his wife Dr. Jill. (What a loving family, huh?)
Those perpetuating this crime AGAINST OUR USA (the entire world actually when considering the ramifications of having such an incompetent figurehead in the oval office rubber stamping anything that falls on his food tray) – despite the fact that they personally could care less about the health of an individual they are using to obtain goals, should never-the-less ultimately be held accountable when the dust finally settles from this UNORTHODOX LEFTIST ATTACK ON AMERICA AND HER CITIZENS. Certainly creative.
The exploitation of a doddering, feeble dementia compromised greedy old man for political leverage to push the Leftist agenda for America is reprehensible, but evil is as evil does.
Can you hear the screaming passengers on the deck of this modern day sinking Titanic yet?
My best to you and yours and wishing you all a happy New Year, because it sure is going to be an interesting one!
Later, Lew
My best to you and yours, Lew
HEY MOM ….. LOOK! No cursing or swear words this time!
Schools Intentionally Dumbing Down Children for Control as Education Becomes Politicized: Alex Newman | Crossroads (The Epoch Times) Critical Race Theory
By Ella Kietlinska and Joshua Philipp December 29, 2021 Updated: December 29, 2021 biggersmallerPrint
Critical race theory together with gender ideology and the manmade global warming hypothesis that’s now being taught to young children, all have the goal of dismantling the United States as a free society, said Alex Newman, investigative journalist and Epoch Times contributor.
There is a global effort coming from the United Nations and from China to build a single world system, where individual liberty will be abolished, Newman told EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program.
This new system is described as a multipolar world order as opposed to the current unipolar world order where the United States is the undisputed sole superpower and the hegemonic force in world affairs today, Newman explained. To achieve this goal the United States must be undermined not just economically, but also intellectually and militarily.
“[This will] allow other nations to be built up, other governments, especially the Communist Chinese government, to grow in prestige and influence in economic prowess for the purpose of really drastically reshaping the world order into this, what they call the multipolar order, where Russia and China and the so-called BRICS [five countries] like Brazil and India will be kind of on an equal standing with the United States.”
“But America, at least the ideas and the essence of what America is, has stood as an obstacle to that agenda. So if you want to make this agenda possible, … you’re going to have to undermine the principles that the United States was founded on.”
According to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “8 predictions for the world in 2030,” which are summarized in a video posted on Twitter, the United States will no longer be the leading superpower, but the world will be dominated by a handful of countries.
Promotion of CRT in US
The Chinese regime is promoting critical race theory through its state-run media, right here in the United States—raising big questions about why this is happening.

Promotion of critical race theory in America is just a continuation of the Marxist tactic that divides society up into opposing camps to create a conflict between them, Newman said, “and then use that conflict—that typically Marxists will instigate—as a vehicle to bring about a revolution; to bring about the discontent that will finally result in the overthrow of the old system.”
“When Mao took over China, … [he] divided people up into the red classes and the black classes. The black classes, of course, were the evil classes: the business owners, the Christians, the counter-revolutionaries, the landowners, etc. Whereas the red classes, those were the oppressed; the victims—and they were the workers, the landless peasants, and so on.”
The same tactic, dividing America up into oppressor and oppressed, is used to instigate revolution in the country, Newman explained, but “to try to tell an American worker that he’s oppressed is less compelling.”
It is simply not plausible to tell an American worker who makes $60,000 a year, gets three weeks paid vacation, has a 2,500 square foot air-conditioned home, two nice cars, and four color TVs, that they’re being oppressed by their employer, Newman continued.
Therefore, race was exploited to divide America and conquer the society, Newman said.
America is almost unique in the world; it is not really like a lot of other nations that have the same ethnicity, the same history, the same background,” Newman noted.
“America was different. America was founded on ideas: the idea that God created everyone equally, the idea that God gave everyone rights, the idea that government exists for the purpose of protecting these rights. That is the foundational principle that America was founded on.”
Liberty and the fruit that came from that such as the incredible prosperity, the innovation, the living standards, or even the equality, the safety, and the reduction in human misery were unprecedented in human history, Newman said.
“So to overthrow that old order, you need some kind of very powerful, very seductive mechanism.”
Now children in school are taught: “If your ancestors came from Europe, you’re automatically part of the oppressor class. If your ancestors came from, say, Africa, you’re automatically part of the oppressed class,” he continued.
Newman pointed out that not only race is used to divide American society but also gender. Those who are heterosexual or identify with their birth gender are also considered oppressors.
He believes that “the only way [such tactics are] possible is to have an uneducated population. A well-educated people never would have fallen for these tricks.”
Remaking Education

Traditionally throughout Western history, training the mind to be able to think, understand things, and acquire additional knowledge was at the core of education, Newman said.
Education used to focus on understanding and gaining a better knowledge of God, and the nature of good and evil, the purpose in life, he explained. Institutions such as Harvard University, Princeton, and Yale were founded as Christian institutions.
The departure from traditional education started more than a century ago and was led by John Dewey, who was also a professor at Columbia University and is called the father of American progressive education.
According to Dewey, who was influenced by Darwin’s theory of evolution, children should be weaned from the traditional tutelage of parents, religion, and culture, and given free rein to adapt to their environments. Dewey was a pragmatist and moral relativist. He believed that there was no unchanging morality and that people were free to act and behave as they saw fit.
In 1929, the rector of the Second State University of Moscow, Albert P. Pinkevich—as quoted by Robin S. Eubanks—wrote favorably of Dewey, saying that his ideas were very close to those of “Marx and the Russian Communists.” Biographer Alan Ryan, also quoted by Eubanks, wrote that Dewey “supplied the intellectual weapons for a decently social democratic, non-totalitarian Marxism.”
Newman noted that Dewey advocated in his writings for a system that in reality would dumb down the population but Dewey didn’t say it explicitly.
According to Newman, Dewey asserted that there is no need to teach kids how to read, write, and do the math. Instead, Dewey recommended that what kids “really need is to be properly socialized. They need to be just totally immersed in this collectivism, so that they will understand that they need to work for the good of the whole—the good of the collective—as opposed to their own individual benefit or the benefit of their family.”
Newman cited Adam Smith, a Scottish economist and philosopher, to argue that in “a free market system based on private property, the individual’s own pursuit of his rational self-interest ends up benefiting society more than if he was actually going out and consciously trying to observe and benefit society.”
He provided an example of a baker who makes cheaper, better tasting bread than his competitors in order to make money thus benefitting his community.
As an example of Dewey’s approach, Newman cited the state of Oregon where testing for proficiency requirements to graduate from high school have been discontinued. So a student who is unable to read, write, or do any math can get a high school diploma.
Newman pointed to National Assessment of Educational Progress data, which shows that less than 1/3 of public school students are proficient in reading, writing, arithmetic, or any other core subject.
Mark Bauerlein, a professor at Emory University, wrote in his book that on the history exam of the 2001 National Assessment of Educational Progress, 57 percent of students scored “below basic” and only 1 percent achieved an “advanced” score.
John Taylor Gatto, a senior teacher and educational researcher in New York City, said in his book, “Pick up a fifth-grade math or rhetoric textbook from 1850 and you’ll see that the texts were pitched then on what would today be considered college level.”
Thomas Sowell, an American scholar and a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University observed: “It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools.”
Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, a former senior policy adviser to the U.S. Department of Education, wrote in 1999: “The reason Americans do not understand this war is because it has been fought in secret — in the schools of our nation, targeting our children who are captive in classrooms. The wagers of the war are using very sophisticated and effective tools.”
Instead of learning basic skills, children are taught in schools critical race theory. Children in kindergarten are taught that they may have been born in the wrong body and they can take pills or undergo a surgical procedure to reflect their true selves, Newman said.
They are also being taught a distorted version of American history and world history, he continued.
“They don’t teach the children almost anything about the history of communism, the history of socialism, the history of collectivism, because if the children understood what has happened where these ideas have been implemented, they would recoil in horror when they saw them being implemented here.”
Considering the unprecedented scale of attacks on parents trying to be involved in the public school system, Newman advises concerned parents to remove their children from the public school despite the hardship and sacrifices that such a move may imply.
“I tell parents at this point: if you love your children, if you want them to be successful, well adjusted, sensible, well educated, clear thinking individual’s, your only option is to remove them from the public school system. … You will not be able to get your children a decent education at a public school anymore,” Newman concluded.

By Enrico Trigoso December 28, 2021 Updated: December 28, 2021
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is breaking its own rule that states pilots should not fly after having taken medications that have been approved for less than a year, according to a group of attorneys, doctors, and other experts; including a pilot who says his career ended due to adverse reactions from a vaccine.
Airlines, which are government contractors, are affected by President Joe Biden’s order from September that states all employees of those companies have to be vaccinated against the CCP virus.
The group of attorneys and doctors wrote a letter directed at the FAA, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice, as well as several airlines, demanding that they medically flag all vaccinated pilots and have them re-examined for blood clotting problems as well as their cardiac health.
“The Federal Aviation Agency is charged with ensuring the safety of the flying public. Instead, as we speak the FAA, as well as the commercial airline companies, are acting in contravention of their own federal aviation regulations and associated guidance which tells medical examiners to NOT issue medical certifications to pilots using non-FDA approved products,” human rights attorney and primary author of the letter, Leigh Dundas, told The Epoch Times via email.
“The title of the section I’m talking about literally says ‘Do Not Issue—Do Not Fly’ and then instructs medical examiners to ‘not issue’ medical certifications to pilots using products that the FDA ‘approved less than 12 months ago.’ … The pilots are flying with products which are not even recently approved—in violation of the above wording—they are flying with injections in their bodies which were NEVER approved by the FDA at all (as no COVID vaccine which is commercially available in the U.S. has received FDA approval),” Dundas said.
Amid widespread confusion about the availability of the FDA-approved Pfizer vaccine, The Epoch Times did an investigation in October and discovered that the approved Comirnaty version of the vaccine was still not commercially available in the United States. Pfizer says it’s the same vaccine that originally received emergency use authorization.
Another one of the signers is Cody Flint, whose career as a pilot ended after voluntarily taking the jab and experiencing adverse effects. He is a father of two with no underlying conditions.
The 34-year-old agricultural pilot doesn’t remember how he landed after nearly blacking out in mid-flight.
He was flying his aircraft when tunnel vision started to kick in and a headache he had developed after getting the jab worsened.
About two hours after having taken off, he decided to pull up the plane to go back and felt an “extreme burst of pressure” in his ears, then immediately “nearly blacked out, [and felt] dizzy, disoriented, nauseous, and [was] shaking uncontrollably,” Flint told The Epoch Times.
As a commercial pilot, Flint was concerned when he first saw FAA’s 48-hour no-fly rule after a COVID-19 vaccination.
The FAA has stated that pilots and air traffic controllers may receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with appropriate precautions.
“I find it hard to comprehend how the FAA justified moving the goalposts of safety from one full year of post-marketing safety review to only two days. The dangers associated with a pilot experiencing a severe adverse reaction from an mRNA-type Covid vaccine while at the controls of an airplane can be horrifying and deadly to say the least.
“As a pilot that experienced a tragic and career-ending adverse reaction to the Pfizer COVID vaccine while actively flying an airplane, I feel I can honestly and creditably speak out about the dangers associated with pilots returning to flight duties too early following COVID mRNA type vaccination,” he added.

Another signer, Dr. Pete Constantine Chambers, D.O. has been practicing medicine for 25 years, 16 of which he served as a Flight Surgeon attached to Special Operations.
“Unfortunately, several of my soldiers have experienced hospitalizations for serious diagnoses to include brain hemorrhages, myocarditis, anaphylaxis, pulmonary emboli, and vertigo. These were all post-vaccination. Army Regulations state we should be tracking these cases post-immunization. Other concerns stem from the recent rash of suicides amongst soldiers serving on the mission. The added deployment stressors placed upon the young heroes paired with the unknowns of experimental medications concerns me,” Chambers told The Epoch Times.
He made clear that his opinions are personal and don’t reflect those of the State Military Department, the Medical Command, or the Department of Defense.
Chambers believes he might get criticized for speaking out, but just as he is “perfectly willing, to lay down my life for fellow soldiers,” also, he is “perfectly willing to risk professional scrutiny to protect my soldiers with the same zeal and love for their very existence.
“I had warned the medical command and leaders to pay strict attention to these stressors as I was conducting an initial study early in the deployment. My study was cut short when I was ordered to focus only on convincing soldiers to take the vaccine and not to administer informed consents,” Chambers added.
“I also believe as a provider in the first stanza of the Hippocratic Oath; ‘First of all, do no harm.’”
Aerospace Occupational Medicine Specialist LTC Colonel Theresa Long, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Ryan Cole, and Mary Holland from Children’s Health Defense also signed the letter.

Upon The Epoch Times’ request for comment to the FAA about the potential violation of the 12-month regulation, the agency referred to an FAQ page on its website.
“The Federal Air Surgeon determined that FAA medical certificate holders may not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required flightcrew member, for 48 hours after each dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. The Federal Air Surgeon made this determination after evaluation of available medical information about these COVID-19 vaccines and potential side effects. As a result of this determination and consistent with 14 CFR § 61.53(a), each person subject to part 67 who receives the vaccine must wait 48 hours after each dose before acting as pilot in command or as a required flightcrew member,” it states.
The Epoch Times reached out to the U.S. Army and Pfizer for comment.
Perhaps its just me but with all the negative information finally making its way out of the government condoned cloud of censorship ….. (regarding how legal citizens have been betrayed for years by politically corrupted individuals operating within government positions, departments, agencies, bureaus, districts, etc. who utilize the power and authority of those government entities to wrongfully dismiss, silence, victimize etc all who voice opposition to the radical left agenda for America) …… even small DIY (Do It Yourself) accomplishments can help take the sting out of an administration gone mad – even if only momentarily distracting from the evil currently misdirecting and consuming OUR COUNTRY and HER CITIZENS. Yup, I do indeed pay attention to what is happening under this CROOKED ADMINISTRATION, compliments of a STOLEN ELECTION, but it can get really depressing and frustrating…..thus the old expression: IGNORANCE IS BLISS. Who worries when they don’t even know what there is to worry about?
[Psst… if you are not watching OAN you’re not getting the full story. And if you watch CNN and the like you’re only getting the radical left disinformation, but enough about that depressing stuff – this post is about a carburetor project and although certainly not “bliss”, digging into that carburetor problem was not only educational and wonderfully distracting – but hopefully rewarding as well if I can get that ATV running again.]
MIKUNI E961 CARBURETOR PROJECT
Unfortunately I failed to get a good photo of the original jet in its recessed carburetor tube housing but can assure you the soft brass screw head was “booger’d up” (slang term for “damaged beyond use”) pretty bad with no recognizable slot for THE CORRECT SIZED flat blade screwdriver. [Oh yeah, a carburetor “jet” is most often just a small threaded brass component with a specific sized hole that permits either fuel or air to enter the carburetor for mixing and eventual combustion in the engine. Just a tiny speck of material that gets into the carburetor can clog a jet making the engine run in an undesirable way if it runs at all. The reason inline fuel filters are so important. The yellow object at “5 o’clock” in the below photo is the fuel filter.]
BELOW: There she is (carburetor) – center of image with the ATV seat removed and looking down.
When I received the ATV it hadn’t been run for a year or so and everything in the carburetor was varnished and clogged due to fuel remaining in the system for so long. (Fuel had apparently leaked and/or eventually evaporated away.) I recall cleaning the carburetor and preparing to replace the jets but after cleaning them up realized they appeared to be OK – that is all but the pilot jet which had a damaged brass head making removal at the time likely impossible without some risky work I had never performed.
Since the primary objective at the time was to just get the engine running again, I decided to leave that one jet alone for the time being and focus on other necessities in getting the engine started with ultimate success.
FAST FORWARD YEARS LATER…..the carburetor was beginning to act up a bit on the last high desert adventure but I was able to keep it working satisfactorily but when I returned home to Don Pedro and started hauling broken tree branches from a recent storm, well, on the first trip the vehicle made it downhill but could not make it back up. Ultimately I could not even start the engine. (Strange….. could that month at a 3,800′ higher elevation have affected the problem somehow? Why did it work until getting back to the home elevation to protest and quit? Perhaps the elevation difference really doesn’t matter at all, and was just a coincidence?) Whatever! Engine wouldn’t start and everything pointed to the carburetor.
“No problem (My aging senior brain offered in optimistic response) just clean the carburetor and replace anything that appears broken or too worn.”
TEMP FIX OUTLASTED MEMORY OF THE EVENT
Funny how those “temporary fixes” often become permanent until the “temporary'” aspect fails long after the memory of its “temporary installation”. [Actually performed another “temporary fix” last night with some J-B Weld on a pinhole in the carb float bowl. Saw a small spot of rust from both inside and outside the bowl in the same location during cleaning and suspected a micro hole due to stains on the surrounding metal. My first thought was J-B WELD and after some research on this particular application decided on this fix verses drilling it out and tapping with a small screw. So I aggressively cleaned the rust out then applied a dab of J-B Weld on the outside – this time also including some notes and photos of the “temp fix”. Who knows what I remember when this “temp fix” fails or if I’ll still be operating myself? Leave the information for the next owner! lol]
BELOW: YET ANOTHER TEMP FIX! I didn’t want to place any epoxy inside the bowl so put a good dab of J-B Weld on the cleaned outside area. The hole underneath this “glob” was less than the diameter of a fine pencil lead – truly a “pin point hole”.
TAKE OUT THE JETS FOR CLEANING
Naturally once the carb was opened up that old “put off until tomorrow project” reared its ugly “JET HEAD”. There was no slot for a screw driver! Just a mangled brass head. Wasn’t until I found the box with old and new ATV parts and some notes that I recalled the Pilot Jet problem when the machine and I first met. Found a brand new pilot jet in the box also so the only problem was – how to get the old one out? I knew the basics regarding broken screw heads – drilling them out and using a reverse extractor, but that was in relation to regular sized construction screws – considerably larger than these small brass (soft metal) fuel/air metering jets. I was apprehensive as to whether I could successfully perform such work – because if I failed the carb would be nothing more than an interesting paper weight or source for cannibalized parts after buying a new one which is VERY EXPENSIVE. (If the drill bit cut through the side of the jet it would damage the carburetor threads and if drilled through the bottom would damage the seat – either way a messed up and lost carburetor.)
BELOW: December 27th 2021 Successfully drilled out broken PILOT JET with reverse drill bit! (Extractor could not get a good bite for removal) No! That’s not blood on the drill bit only red magic marker to assist in NOT RUINING THE CARB by drilling too deep! lol
BELOW: FINALLY! The extracted damaged jet compared with a new one.
OH, THE LIME? That was for the celebration of the personal accomplishment in removing my first stuck carb jet! Yes, as a matter of fact, I do believe I have injured my shoulder with all the excessive self actuated “pats on the back”! lol
BELOW: New Pilot Jet installed (Large brass Jet is the Main (needle) and next to it on right is the Pilot Jet – recessed in the round carb housing tube. The far right recessed silver screw (outside carb when float bowl is reinstalled over the the Main and Pilot Jet) is the pilot air jet or idle jet adjustment screw.
I proceeded deeper into the carburetor this time (since the first extremely cautious cleaning) and discovered an “O ring” on the the float needle assembly seat had apparently dissolved through the years which is the apparent reason I had to shut off fuel from the tank for prolonged periods of non use to prevent flooding the float bowl and having fuel possibly enter the crankcase – VERY BAD! The assembly was also missing a hidden fuel screen that is often overlooked during cleaning. (Thank Heavens for these DIY videos on YouTube – but like everything else – research is everything. Learn as much as you possibly can and then choose an approach that makes the most sense.)
Now I wait for some other crucial parts to continue the journey on reviving the ATV. Even if the entire project fails for one reason or another (and I have to purchase a new carb) I am still quite pleased with overcoming my fear and tackling the broken jet problem.
BONUS! What is especially exciting about this recent project (and new knowledge accumulated – or in the alternative relearning stuff long forgotten) is that a choke problem I have had for years (with an otherwise well functioning engine) is very common … The choke had to be engaged for proper idling AFTER ENGINE START UP – whereas it (the choke) is traditionally only operated to furnish extra fuel during a cold start). I knew something was wrong but it always started and ran well so I dismissed the issue as something to deal with later. Well, now is later.
TO THE INTERNET ROBIN!……. ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, other internal combustion vehicles…. there were many articles and videos on
“Why must my choke be on full for the engine to run properly?”
Anyone care to take a wild guess what the answer is to this common carburetor problem?
(music and ticking clock background…..)
YES! A CLOGGED PILOT JET IN THE CARBURETOR!
TOSS THAT VIEWER A MANGLED MEMENTO PILOT JET ! lol
(Ah oh…. Just remembered…. I have a generator doing the same thing with it’s choke! Maybe just a good cleaning will work on that one?)

Due to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) breach, some may think that the Chinese Communist Party is simply collecting intelligence on those Americans associated with the U.S. government. They are, and far more than that.
This can include web searching history, online purchases in totality, complete medical records, all texts, and all other evidence of our being. One component that begins to go beyond the digital are DNA structures of our physical body. How do they get that? Perhaps through unlawfully accessing our medical records, perhaps through our voluntary biological samples given in the innocent pursuit of our family lineage. Dark and disturbing intentions are in play.
Unconstrained by Legal Guardrails
You may say, “So what? Big Deal? Amazon and Google do this already.” Perhaps they do, but what Chinese intelligence is doing for all Americans and for the Chinese and non-Chinese population in the world is establishing a decisive digital dominance to map every single personae, including our DNA. This is done on a scale far beyond what Facebook and others in Big Tech aspire to. There are privacy and civil liberty, legal guardrails in the United States and Europe that constrain even the most adventurist of Mark Zuckerberg’s dreams.
This lack of legal bumper cushions for the CCP, combined with a lack of social mores, feelings, and faith-based values is what sets China apart from even the darkest of Big Tech’s goals and dreams. Although American social media (and the U.S. Intelligence Community) may have set the original framework and tenets of Big Data and Big Data analytics, the Chinese state apparatus has codified, on an exponential scale, how to use the establishment of a digital personae to control and condition behavior of the individual through simple rewards and penalties.
The public manifestation is the blooming, social credit system instituted by the CCP in China. Most human personalities will conform after a few penalties or rewards in such an environment. It’s our innate human nature, but also a slippery slope to more vicious totalitarianism.
A Chinese Digital Silk Road
The key enabler of this digital twin strategy are the vanguards of Chinese Communist Party intentions, their own social media firms such as TikTok, and other companies including DJI (the dominant drone manufacturer), and Huawei.
With the Chinese law and operating strategy, all Chinese Companies are de facto, majority owned by the state and required to always do the bidding of the state. These companies are modeled on the front companies that the United States Intelligence Community established and used sparingly since the 1950s, but in the Chinese resurrection, at a far grander scale, and all Chinese Companies are part of this ploy. It is a legal requirement of their existence.
It is odd, interesting, and amusing that the same CCP system that encouraged the birthing and expansion of these companies is now also showing concern with their growth and influence and their leaders such as Jack Ma. The Trump administration aggressively asserted trade control measures toward many Chinese Companies and so has the Biden administration with its most recent application of the obscure, but very powerful tool of the Entities list.
I have conducted a dialogue with Costco’s front office on the ill-advised corporate decision to carry DJI drones. They have often been open, transparent, and expressed concern, but at the same time have still carried DJI products, but this season have also carried a non-DJI product—a possible expression of a transition of product types on the shelves and a hat-tip of Costco liability concerns over DJI.
But if one looks very closely, the origin of the new, “non-DJI” drone is still Shenzhen, the same city where the dominant drone maker of DJI has its large and unique headquarters building. What do drones have to do with feeding our digital personae?
The DJI drones are now flying endpoints on a worldwide network and share hundreds of live or post-flight data elements with servers in China. We are allowing flying, cyber vacuum cleaners that have the data collection capabilities of modern digital flight recorders on commercial airliners, but these also collect video, audio, signals intelligence, and other sensoring capabilities that are breathtaking.
If you still say, “ho hum, big deal” with this situation, I frankly don’t know what to say. Allowing a foreign power to fly in our airspace with flying intelligence collection vacuum cleaners to map our total environment is a very bad idea. Would China allow us to do this in their airspace? I may be stepping out on a ledge on this one, but the CCP would be unlikely to reciprocate.
To What End?
All this may be true, but again, so what? I had one very senior Intelligence Official recently tell me that the Chinese state behavior makes it easier for the Five Eyes Community to steal back all this information after they collect it. This is one way of looking at the situation and a possible strategy, but not one I’d place money on.
With the fusion of DNA information, could (or has) China been tailoring follow on releases of viruses to target non-Han personalities? As a career planner and strategist, this posit is well within the boundaries of the realistic and possible. In the end, nothing good comes out of a ruthless, totalitarian state, bent on world domination and the elimination of the United States as the world leader establishing digital (and biological) twins of our bodies. Nothing.

By Steven Kovac December 19, 2021 Updated: December 20, 2021 biggersmallerPrint
How many dead people should remain on Michigan voter rolls? The answer may be determined by a federal judge.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) on Nov. 3 sued Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, for allegedly failing to remove from the state’s voter rolls the names of 26,000 registered voters who have either died or moved away.
According to PILF President J. Christian Adams, the failure to remove the names “creates an opportunity for fraud.”
The lawsuit also alleges that 334 people registered to vote after they died, with 15 of those registrations occurring in 2020.
Benson’s office told The Epoch Times that it doesn’t comment on pending litigation. However, Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for Benson, told Fox News: “Michigan maintains its voter registration list in accordance with all state and federal laws.
“As we’ve seen throughout the past year, meritless lawsuits serve as press releases for those seeking to further election misinformation and undermine American democracy.”
The office of the Michigan Attorney General filed a response to PILF’s complaint and a motion to dismiss the case on Dec. 13. In the reply, Benson denies any failures to perform list maintenance activities required by federal law.
Her lawyers point out that the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) requires only that a state conduct a general program and make a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official voter registration list by notice of death, change of residence, or the voter’s request.
“The NVRA does not require a state to enact an exhaustive program to remove every voter who becomes ineligible,” Benson’s counsel wrote.
The complaint alleges that “when more than 25,000 deceased registrants are identified on the qualified voter list and not removed for an extended period of years, the list maintenance program is not only unreasonable, it is failing.”
“The NVRA does not simply require a percentage or portion of dead registrants to be removed, it requires a program that actually detects dead registrants and removes them.”
Among other requests, PILF is asking the court to require Benson to remove the names of deceased voters from the rolls and to order her to allow inspection of records pertaining to the implementation of programs and activities used in cleaning up the voter list.
Adams said the numbers speak for themselves and is confident the suit will survive the motion to dismiss.
Well, shall we try again? Tweaked the material a bit (in hopes it will pass the censors) but it’s difficult to convey the same feeling and expression when forced to use alternative words due to the sensitivity of other viewers, but I understand. Again, it is YouTube equipment and those who utilize it must conform to what the YouTube “community” determines to be appropriate and acceptable.
Those who have visited lakedonpedro.org through the years know very well I do not “two way communicate” (emails, chats, telephone, etc.) with viewers. Tried it in the beginning but it interrupted what I was trying to accomplish. The problem was primarily due to the “haters” who constantly attempted to destroy that which they did not understand or agree. You know, that’s probably the the biggest difference between the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” which has been made crystal clear with the outrageous corruption of our elections. A real nightmare yeah?
All the talk about democracy, freedom, justice, rule of law, etc. are just words without meaning when our Nation’s legitimate voting voice has been silenced as effectively as one of Fauci’s COVID-19 tortured laboratory Beagles! (Disgusting images)
Democrats talk and talk about how they work for the rights of “the people” yet when “the people” honestly don’t support the Democrat agenda (which is now quite clearly unAmerican) in favor of something else more conducive to their concept of a FREE AMERICA (for which their family members, friends and/or other citizens have paid the ultimate price or suffered injury), well, it’s open season for total corruption and betrayal! These leftist-Demo Rats/Rhinos, socialists, communists, anarchists, whatever…..etc…. actively and effectively suppress and prevent “the people” from choosing the learders and direction of their own……f rigg’n country!
CENSORING OF WORDS BECAUSEYOUTUBE UTILIZED TO CONVEY MESSAGE ON lakedonpedro.org
I do not “two way communicate” on YouTube either. A few times viewers were somehow able to get a message through (fortunately all positive) and I freaked out. How did this happen when closed to comments? Seriously, I don’t understand most of this technology stuff but realize there are exceptions to (and ways around) every rule. (I’m attempting one right now with “F cking”)
When uploading to YouTube I usually check the box indicating “not for kids” even if no “foul/vulgar” language has been used for effect because my website is intended for adult viewing and I would prefer children not be exposed to something their parents/guardians would likely object. (I would too actually)
None of my material “made for kids” Website geared for adults But that doesn’t mean kids are excluded Should depend on the final result
I’ll bet money, marbles or chalk, most “kids” are far more familiar with such language than many adults believe. (I was shocked at some of the language overheard at a stoplight near an elementary school once when students were headed off campus walking and chatting. Such words coming out of such cute innocent looking little faces?)
Anyway, due to how I configured the objectionable words in this particular video, the YouTube check snagged the image as a thumbnail that I could not remove and was flagged thus not permitting the video to play on my website and requiring a check entry log on into YouTube for viewing. (sorry) I guess that’s the part that bothered me so much last night (lack of sleep didn’t help matters), but then I realized, how would YouTube know where that “objectionable video” via a YouTube link would be played and for what sort of audience? (I can hear the parents/guardians now……”That trash was on a YouTube video my children were watching! YouTube should not sponsor such filth for children to see!”)
Funny, I’ve been really trying to reduce expenses yet last night I was researching home website servers like I really need another expensive and difficult project right now! lol (Especially when tech challenged!) Sure sounded like it would be cool though. Maybe someday.
Again, I don’t use YouTube to “socialize with others” or argue back and forth, but rather as a convenient method to store huge audio/video files that my current configuration can’t handle. I present my “LAME material” as a “take it or leave it” proposition on my site. Don’t like my perspective? No problem, don’t view or listen. True, I miss out on meeting a lot of “good people” by using this DIM LAME echo chamber concept (Do It Myself Lew’s Almost Music Expression) “one way street” approach, but I also avoid the haters and as the 2020 election has revealed – they’re everywhere doing their evil little deeds. Life is too short to waste on such activity.
“F – ing” doesn’t rhyme with luck “Screwing” not what I chose Words convey specific meaning Based on what people know
How did the word “discrimination” Become immoral and wrong? Take a deep breath and let me explain In another little LAME song
The preceding word is the qualifier In determining what discrimination means We all discriminate every day “Can you see the forest through the trees?”
What food to eat, words to speak Whether to feed a park duck Or how to publicly express a view? Assuming we even …….
a) “give a coitus” (error signal) b) “give a screwing” (error signal) c) “give a frack” (error signal) d) “give a care” (error signal) e) “give a fuck” (ta da!—)
28 days camping without television and all the distressing news regarding DEMO-RAT/RHINO BETRAYAL of America AND ALL HER LEGAL CITIZENS! Absolutely wonderful. Sure a few times I wondered what the latest appointed “commander and thief” gaff was or what Anti-American foolish legislation was being pushed in the House of Reprehensibles, but absent a broiling orange-red-yellow-brown and grey mushroom cloud over the Nevada desert…….didn’t really give a rat’s ass for what those traitors are doing. I already know their general game plan……destroy America by whatever means available. When you really stop and think about what is happening to OUR COUNTRY and who are the “movers and shakers” who have pushed this ANTI-FREEDOM MOVEMENT, the most dangerous criminals in this country hold public office and were not actually elected by legal voters. Rather like a long running “quiet war” yeah? My best to you and yours, Lew
Apparently because of using the word “FUCK” and “FUCKING” in this LAME PROJECT, YOUTUBE (in order to prevent a child from seeing or hearing such language) forces everyone else to “sign in” to view the material. OK. It’s their platform. Guess I’ll have to purchase my own home server (so Youtube is not involved) if I want to express myself in adult language on my own website with audio/video. After all, someone must protect the children if parents and legal guardians are incapable of the task – despite the fact our entire country has been hijacked and is needlessly suffering because of that fucking demented crooked politician appointed as president. This is insane but at least the little ones are safe from bad words. This may be my last project utilizing youtube, whether I use foul language or not.
Did you see that report on OANN? Tossing those poor dogs around like they were sacks of garbage while torturing them in the name of science. Reprehensible conduct but what do we hear from all the animal rights activists sworn to the DEMO RAT PARTY? Crickets. FUCKING CRICKETS! Absolutely disgusting but par for Demo RATS! VOTE THEM ALL OUT TO SAVE YOUR COUNTRY! (And the lovable Beagle – used for this routine COVID-19 experimentation because they are easier to handle when tortured.)
