“Apparently, my shoulder muscles are asymmetrical. Did you ever hear of such a thing? They say it’s genetic.” – Malcolm in the Middle
Never sell your soul to make good pickles – that’s a dill with the Devil.
Why do we have the TSA?
My contention is that there have been exactly zero hijackings of passenger planes since 9/11 (although one Alaska Air® plane was stolen by Sky King, PBUH). Oh, sure, we had the shoe bomber. That’s why one time when The Mrs. was going through a TSA checkpoint they made her take off her sandals and passed the x-ray wand over her bare, human, totally flesh-covered feet.
Yes, that really happened.
I suppose you could argue that a terrorist could put a bomb in checked luggage, so we needed minimum wage mouth-breathers to paw through my luggage and steal stuff, but an x-ray is far less invasive and cheaper in the long run than those idiots – besides, when I travelled with pistols, those were locked up and I didn’t have to show anyone anything. I guess that’s one big advantage to having pistols. Also, a TSA agent with a gun?
The TSA agent asked if I had any weapons. “I prefer to kill with my bare hands,” apparently wasn’t the answer they were looking for.
Why have we spent billions of dollars on a system that (arguably) has saved no one, but cost me, personally, several hundred bucks when a TSA agent hot-fingered stuff out of my luggage?
Well, the government had to do something. It doesn’t matter that the something was stupid and futile and useless, they did something. The reason that they did something?
Asymmetric warfare works, though it’s called “terrorism” when not done by an established government. Waco? Totally not defined as terrorism. Oklahoma City? Terrorism.
Why is Ireland no longer governed by the British? Terrorism, er, asymmetric warfare works – look it up. Why does the state of Israel exist? Terrorism, er, asymmetric warfare works.
What do you call a terrorist group from Hoth®? Ice-IS.
Asymmetric warfare isn’t just bombs, though. It works against individuals.
Make a statement that’s too far outside of the window of the acceptable? That’s a public flogging and shaming. Vox Day identified their tactics in SJWs Always Lie:
- Locate or Create a Violation of the Narrative.
- Point and Shriek.
- Isolate and Swarm.
- Reject and Transform.
- Press for Surrender.
- Appeal to Amenable Authority.
- Show Trial.
- Victory Parade.
I could give you many examples of this, but you already know many of them. The result was the same – since the Narrative was like Cthulhu, and (until recently) only swam Left, there was an ever-advancing line of things you couldn’t say, even if they were 100% factual. Some of these facts were (and still are, in some places) 100% censored. That’s why they have to hobble and censor A.I. – the Truth is contradicts their Narrative.
And then everyone clapped.
The really, really corrosive part of this censorship is and was that the line was never a clear one, and kept shifting.
YouTube™ content creation is a big business. It makes millions of dollars a year for some people. Some even end up hiring writers, editors, and concentrate on making content that never would have made it to television in the past. But they live and die at the whim of YouTube™. Violate the nebulous terms and conditions, and not only do they end up losing their revenue stream, but they end up having to fire people that they’ve hired, people that they have grown close to.
So, as a content creator, they stay firmly on the “safe” side of the line. Until the line moves. Then, when their old videos (which were fine a year ago) now are found to violate the new narrative that just came into being last week? They get scared.
See, it’s funny because it wasn’t my window I was naked in front of. The Mrs. always tells me it makes the jokes more funny if I explain them.
And viewpoints are suppressed because of this non-violent, yet still very destructive type of terrorism. My own podcast on YouTube® was flagged a year ago over making a joke about the Vaxx®. Note that to any listener of the podcast, it’s really, really obvious that whenever we use the words “safe and effective” that we really don’t mean either safe or effective. But when we say “no refunds” we actually really do mean that.
Regardless, viewpoints are suppressed. For kicking off a few higher profile YouTubers® (Stephan Molyneux, for instance) they get compliance across the entire platform. Molyneux had millions of comments and millions of hours of his content viewed during his time on YouTube™. The result?
All deleted in a moment, and then banned from not only YouTube™, but PayPal©, Mailchimp®, and SoundCloud™. Go to his Wikipedia© page and he’s listed as a “white nationalist podcaster who promotes conspiracy theories, white supremacy, scientific racism, and the men’s rights movement.”
Does this sound like isolate and swarm, anyone?
Yes, it’s economic terrorism on an individual. And it works.
Oddly, though, in another sign that the Narrative can be stopped, Bud Light™ forms the backstory for the same tactics being used against GloboLeft. We’re all familiar with the narrative that Bud Light© stupidly partnered with a man who dresses like a woman and lost hundreds of millions of dollars, but why?
Just in time to remind everyone before their Super Bowl® ads.
Because in the same timeframe a gender-confused young woman killed a bunch of people at a church school. The name of the killer was known (and presented her as a woman, not the man she pretended to be). The names of the victims were known. But what was left?
The reason. Within a day, it was known that the killer had left a Tranifesto, a description of why she had killed. It was kept under wraps.
Why?
Because it showed, without a doubt, that her mind was twisted with a Leftist hate against . . . white people. That’s simply not the Narrative, so immediately an investigation was started to find those horrible people that shared the truth of the mind of the murderer.
But the people (you and me) connected the dots between the beer and the shooter and were done. Bud Light™ was and is seriously wounded. And just like the YouTubers© that shy away from content that might cross the line, wounded companies stopped. Not just InBev™, parent company of Bud Light©, but also every single app on my phone that normally turns gay-rainbow in June . . . didn’t. Not a one.
I hope it will give it time to reflect.
The line had been drawn. The economic asymmetric warfare from the people began to be heard.
I think that’s the case along not only the Texas border, but the whole border. People everywhere are done with illegals, and done with pressing 1 for English and done with being quiet about the horrors caused, big and small by this unchecked invasion. People are pushing back, and I’d expect that illegals and other immigrants will soon be the subject of public rudeness and shunning.
Racism? No. It’s our country.
Obviously, unlike in Canada, the government, despite its bluster, realizes that it can go only so far. That’s the reason the Second Amendment is there.
And it has gone too far.
And no make-believe “compromise” will work, but more about that in the Civil War 2.0 Weather Report, coming next Monday.
Speaking of scratching one’s head?
Kept coming back, 3x discretely, (apart or detached from others; separate; distinct), spending at LEAST 10 min. each time, being as discreet (careful and circumspect in one’s speech or actions, especially in order to gain an advantage) as possible.
Trying to figure out just WHAT was wrong with the cute little 4 yr./old questioning her Daddy with quintessential childish gibberish.
4 Years. ‘Old’.
Scratching the head? Ha!!! 👁️ KNEW that signified “Thinking Face” after mastering 🤔, whatever they are called.
But it was actually the unfocused, contemplative stare that gave it away. LOOKED almost wistful, as though she was yearning for days of yore. Soooo much simpler, bobbing/sloshing/swimming.
TOTALLY STAGED!
NOT sure. PhotoShop® or some other editing software? Maybe the Dad was a Former/Current big game hunter and was well versed at waiting for inordinate amounts of time, (Sometime all day) for the perfect shot. Some combination?
WHATev, ALMOST got me.
The Lengths that SOME People will go to gain attention?
Please!
Yeah, staged . . . but what do you expect?
The narrative is failing because there are too many variables to confound and change the focus. Control is only a perception and while those believing they’re shaping society have a feeling of accomplishment, reality states anarchy will be the outcome. Whether it’s armed conflict, economic crisis, or a complete ignoring of laws that hold a society together isn’t important. Somewhere down the line individual freedom becomes more important than servitude and people learn to leave each other alone. I prefer it to be a strong acceptance of the restraints demanded by the Constitution; and the lawful prosecution of those that led us to this point. I think it’s possible, but it will take a strong commitment to guaranteeing voting is an honest endeavor. That, with the acceptance that the healthiest of societies never allow dishonesty, and regardless of position, all are treated equally by law.

“…the lawful prosecution of those that led us to this point. I think it’s possible, but it will take a strong commitment to guaranteeing voting is an honest endeavor.”
The problem is that those who control the prosecutors are those that need to be prosecuted. Which is why they put forth the effort to control the prosecutors.
So many people come up with these brilliant ideas to fix the system that amount to, “all we have to do is convince those in power to give up power!”
It’s not going to happen. Begin planning for the other thing.
And that requires a degree of unity and belief in the systems. But diversity is a strength, not unity. Right???
TSA exists for the purpose to take an image of you bags so if, there is terrorism on the flight they can go back, look at the images w detail find the contraband and declare the perpetrator and go after accomplices and say see we smart.
And to employ people who will vote for the GloboLeft . . .
John, two thoughts, as follows:
1. Don’t worry about the postman until he rings twice.
2. An old girlfriend did an MBA Internship at a Danish Brewery in the late ’70s. The joke there was “Why is sex in a canoe like American Beer?” Answer…”Both are f***ing close to water.” Spot on for Bud Light.
Ha! Love ’em. And I’ll really worry if I get a valentine.
Racism is absolutely necessary for the continued existence of a race. It is a survival instinct.
Agreed.
If you do not hate that which threatens what you love, then you do not truly love.
And there appears to be a normal level, except when dealing with white members of the GloboLeft.
Vox lol should be Harvard President. That list is Alinsky.
I have some info on TSA. When it began a lot of low level people where I worked applied, for the pension lol. This was not a few people so I will state none of the sharp people got hired, but that must have been a fluke.
Nope, it’s Vox. https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/560412.Vox_Day
This is Alinsky:

Moosehead is 10.88 a 12 at my Walmart. Things ain’t all bad
Nice!
Ahh those Danes….
A recent report stated that some beer company in Denmark has learned how to make beer from horse urine !!
But then Bud Light filed patent infringement charges.
I’m thinking that it’ll be a decade or more if they ever recover. Which I doubt that they will . . .
“People are pushing back, and I’d expect that illegals and other immigrants will soon be the subject of public rudeness and shunning.”
Wanna bet?

Let’s discuss the asymmetric warfare of getting people to think Eagle Pass/Shelby Park matters, while pretending that the other 2000 miles of border, and every Port Of Entry doesn’t.
Start anywhere…
But don’t worry; if you thought 6M new illegal aliens was bad, wait until it’s 20M.
The total number of foreign invaders in our formerly great country has now surpassed 50 million.
Not including their anchor baby children. Not including legal migrants, which also number in the tens of millions.
The Biden ‘compromise’ is to restrict legal migration to 2,000,000 per year. But only after he gets his cut of more billions for Zelensky.
Let that sink in.
20M, as noted, is only the number of new illegal aliens.
Emperor Poopypoants has seen to it we got more in the last three years than in the previous 20.
And the total of all of them is probably somewhere close to 50M, and rising by the day.
Things continue . . . until they don’t. As it is, Joe is working to make America a place illegals wouldn’t want to break into.
Would that such were the case, but what he’s actually doing is importing them by the metric crap-ton, until Republicans would have to get 120% turnout to ever win again.
We can usually outvote the graveyard, but we can’t outvote the entire Turd World, and that’s what’s headed here by the hour.
America will someday be a place illegals wouldn’t want to break in to, but not until it gives Trashcanistan and Sh*tholia a run for the money. There’s a lot of collapse in the greatest economy in world history, and it’s a long way down to Zimbabwe and Somalia levels.
Long before that point, there’s a guest appearance by the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse – Famine, Disease, War, and Death (in that order, with a tedious predictability)- who come to chew bubble gum and lay waste to humanity.
And they’re all out of bubble gum.
Nice post over at your place. We are out of bubble gum.
Right. The free stuff will continue to draw the illegals until the free stuff stops. Stein’s Law.
Lots will self-deport, hopefully the rest run riot in the blue havens that put us in this mess in the first place.
They have to go back.
The people in control keep moving that magical line of acceptable language or conduct regularly as a
means to keep people distracted. If you’re constantly trying to keep track of their line so you don’t cross it you aren’t paying attention to all the other evil they are engaging in.
And asymmetrical warfare does work. It works both ways.
It does. And we’re learning, slowly, but I hope well.
Speaking of asymmetrical warfare —
‘The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, recently complained to his globalist colleagues because they are losing the information war.
‘The WHO chief said their goal of achieving “security and equity” for people around the world is “not easy” due to “fake news, lies and conspiracy theories.”’
That’d be us. The ‘fake news, lies, and conspiracy theories’ part. Seems we’re getting in the road of Achieving Total Equity (totalitarianism) that the luciferians so dearly love.
Tedious Adman Gaybusses and Co. are losing the information (spiritual) war. And I do appreciate his public confirmation of it. Thanks, Tedious!
Hahahahaha!
I went back and read it two or three times, and don’t really understand what it means when you ask why the state of Israel exists?
Oh, I was just stating that both Ireland and Israel wouldn’t exist without “terrorism” or asymmetric warfare as keys to their foundation. In both cases against the British . . . there are plenty of other examples, those were just ones I was more familiar with.
At one time airline pilots were required to carry handguns if there was U.S. mail on board, so in effect they always did. (Most pilots were ex military anyway, and they simply had them in their carry on bags, not on their hips.) Rules slowly changed, going to optional until, not too long before 9/11 they were completely banned. After 9/11 there was great resistance to allowing pilots to be armed, and was done only with great regulation.
Yes! In Alaska (I believe) they were still required to carry even later.
They’re flying something with more destructive power than anything except Gavrilo Princip’s pistol . . .
