Good morning, Commander. I'm having some problems with Substack. I attempted to sign up for an annual subscription to SCREAMING INTO THE VOID. This was not accepted. Next I attempted to sign up for a monthly subscription. Initially, I thought this had worked, but I still get the "Continue your support" message in the upper right-hand corner, here. And the credit card shows that no transaction was made.

I'll keep trying.

As a member of the feline community, the reason any cat's ability to be a tyrant is limited is because cats, as a rule, don't cooperate.

The tyrant's tyranny extends no farther than his own reach.

Has anyone here read "Quixotte" (sp?) by Salman Rushdie?

Fantastic post. It really is this simple. Calling legislators, writing angry letters, and going to protests has done nothing and will continue to do nothing. We have to hit them where it really hurts. If we stop giving these psychopaths our time, money, and attention, they will wither away.

I see from that video that lots of places still uses lead plumbing. Or, as I never tire of pointing out: the closing of mental hospitals correlates directly with the rise of all this madness that's swept the west for over 40 years.

All the mad people in that clip are doing the same thing you wrote about, too: projecting power. And why are they effective at doing that? Because they are mad, and in madness lies the strength of redifining reality so that you are always in control, always right and always win.

Which is what makes treating such madness so difficult: it feels good to the mad one.

And yet, these madwomen and madmen are supposedly equal in rights and dignity?

I went to a job interview a few days ago. I got there a few minutes early and she was already out the door before I entered. We shook hands, introduced, and she asked if I wanted to see the workplace. She then says, "Are you vaccinated?". I have rarely been asked this and never so urgently. "No," I say, a bit worried about what will happen...She whips out a mask and says, "You wont mind wearing this? ". I back away just saying, "This won't work out, believe me" and she is staring at me not comprehending that I didn't react as expected.

But here in WA, I still see people, mostly ill paid service workers still being required to mask for their betters. I love a convo overheard in a local gas/deli chain store-these were unmasked, but they mask a lot in the other store, i think management encourages it. They were talking about sick days and one said, "I don't get it, but those guys wear masks all the time and they're always out with covid"..

In many cases, imo, it doesn't even take a large crowd. 10-15 non-cooperators can work wonders!

Robert Reich has Election Denying post, Aug 10, and some fanatical liberals. Read commies, although they might not identify as such.

At 1100 pm Central, 54 min, I'm posting this onto Rob's post unless SIM Comm asks me not to.

Enjoy. I have quite a few interactions on his posts recently. Better to fight, truth... Than kumbaya bullshit

Excellent Crazy vimeo, SC! I started putting together notes for a Mask Psychosis episode. That's well done!

I'm reading David Graeber's The Dawn of Everything about anarchy in anthropology. It turns out that when there were kings who exercised a lot of arbitrary power, people just steered clear of them and did what they wanted. Because there wasn't an administration to enforce things, their power was only in their immediate vicinity. People played along or got lost, which was pretty easy. So your point is reinforced by millennia of history.

Didn't make it past the 2:48 mark of the dumbocraps complaining. It seemed like the full 10 minutes, or longer.

But, but, if I don't do what I'm told I might get a dirty look. 😉. Talked to one of our deputies the other day and they told me about a preacher who asked when he could reopen his church in 2020. The deputy's answer? "In 1776!" Proof again at how important it is to support *local* "officials" that we can personally hold to account. These types of leaders in our community make it much easier to keep thumbing our noses at the tyrants. I don't plan on complying any time soon. Or ever.
