I’m currently editing a small, somewhat ridiculous bit of Lovecraftian fiction I slapped together over the last few days that explains the current world situation in terms of the Cthulhu mythos… but in the mean time here’s a video that explains the current world situation in terms of Jurassic Park.
Chants of “Death to America.” On American streets.
“Death to America. Death to America”
Violent rioters chant on the streets of Oakland, CA
These are terrorists who openly admit they want to destroy this country
So why does the corporate media and Democratic Party insist they are peaceful protesters?

And here’s your “maybe reconsider your vote for Biden” video for the day:
“I am not sad that a f*cking fascist died tonight”
Portland Antifa cheer & celebrate the execution of a Trump supporter late last night
This is what pure EVIL looks like

And so it begins:
Bonus round: imagine being the author of THIS TWEET.
EDIT: The original YouTube video was removed by the uploader. Don’t know why. But here’s a news article on the subject:
ORIGINAL POST (based on the now-deleted video):
The city has a law on the books allowing it to bill for police services for private events… which this would seem to have been.
Money quote:
“I was shocked when I read that I had to pay to exercise my first amendment rights.”
Huh.
She also has a *second* amendment right. One wonders if she’d be shocked that the government won’t just *give* her a gun, that she has to pay for bullets and targets and training and range time.
Also: those arrested and convicted of rioting and looting should, as part of their sentences, be fined for the costs of restocking looted stores, rebuilding burned-out buildings. A lifetime bill of a few million dollars might be a bit of a disincentive to being a violent destructive jackass. Similarly, crowd funding efforts to support convicted rioters/looters should be leined-upon.
NEWS UPDATE:
So, now you can monopolize the police at no cost to you.
This is an informative and interesting read… an interview with a left winger who advocates *for* looting, including the looting of small businesses. Including the trashing and destruction of small grocery stores in food deserts. because the author is not only evil, she’s a fricken’ *moron.* She believes that looting is just a fair way to redistribute stuff that those people deserve, and that every time they destroy a business, the business will simply restock for the next time.
And the reason that the world is organized that way, obviously, is for the profit of the people who own the stores and the factories. So you get to the heart of that property relation, and demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
The author has all the very latest, most leftie-approved notions. Looting is ok, because the word “loot” was appropriated by white people from brown people. Looting is ok, because it destroys even the basic *idea* of owning property, because “property” is white supremacy.
Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police. It gets to the very root of the way those three things are interconnected. And also it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be. And I think that’s a part of it that doesn’t really get talked about—that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory.
Cthulhu nods approvingly.
But looters and rioters don’t attack private homes. They don’t attack community centers. In Minneapolis, there was a small independent bookstore that was untouched. All the blocks around it were basically looted or even leveled, burned down. And that store just remained untouched through weeks of rioting.
ᚠᚢᚳk ᚣᚩᚢ ᚪᛋᛋᚻᚩᛚᛖ.
I do wonder about whether a business that gets looted after this can sue *her* for damages. I wonder about suing NPR and her publisher for giving her a platform.
A video worth watching:
The narrative that he’s a murderer sure seems ill-supported by the facts.
Bonus round:
This is the lawyer who sued (so far, successfully) the bejeebers out of a number of media outlets for libel and slander for claiming that Nick Sandmann was a smug racist when he was in fact the victim. And on *that* note…
For example:
A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.
He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.
Fix your damn headlines.

Assuming that the video evidence and testimonies so far given continue to be unrefuted *and* Rittenhouse doesn’t get railroaded… Representative Pressley could wind up paying for Rittenhouse’s *everything* from here on out.
Damn, son… 43?
That role in “Black Panther 2” now seems a little iffy. And I don’t say that sarcastically: Disney *could* if they wanted use a digital Boseman for the role. Because there’s little chance that Black Panther 2 won’t happen; it’s just a question of either recasting the role (which the MCU has done), writing the character out with an off-screen death or some such… or using some form of computer trickery.
More information has come out regarding Kyle Rittenhouse and the people he went up against. The information is interesting… and not exactly shocking. The following Twitter thread is by a journalist at the New York Times who did actual objective journalism (shocking, I know!). When Rittenhouse shot the second and third people, killing one and wounding the other, it was clear he was acting in self defense. But the *first* guy he shot was under unclear circumstances. But investigating the available evidence seem to show that he wasn’t the first shooter. When he was initially chased into the car dealership *someone* *else* started shooting. It appears that that first fatal shot was again in self defense.
In the hours before the shooting incident, @KristanTHarris, @RichieMcGinniss and @ElijahSchaffer all interviewed Rittenhouse, who said he was protecting a local vehicle dealership together with several other armed men. He also offers medical assistance to protesters.

Rittenhouse is around that area in most of the footage we reviewed. About 15 minutes before the first shooting, police drive past Rittenhouse, and thank the group he’s with. “We appreciate you guys, we really do,” they broadcast through the speakers of their armored vehicles.

Rittenhouse eventually leaves the dealership (https://t.co/udrONTtQEY) and is barred by the police from returning, as seen @Ruptly footage, six minutes before the shooting: https://t.co/bxzrk75jk8. pic.twitter.com/AredrTnc9Z

At 23:19, Rittenhouse is seen in this YouTube livestream. He's being chased into a parking lot. While he is being pursued, an unknown gunman fires the first shot into the air. pic.twitter.com/BSD8rd6ARN

The muzzle flash of the first shot by the unknown gunman and the smoke rising from the handgun can be seen in this video capturing the first shooting from a different angle. pic.twitter.com/ddRjsgiMN7

The initial shot and Rittenhouse’s four subsequent discharges of his AR-15-style weapon are followed by three more shots in the parking lot — we don’t know who fired them. Rittenhouse seems to make a phone call and then flees the scene. pic.twitter.com/ddRjsgiMN7

It’s interesting to examine the three people that Rittenhouse shot. Fortunately, Andy Ngo is another journalist who is doing actual journalism:
The 3 shot (2 killed) in #Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot have been identified.
Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was the first one killed. Video allegedly shows him chasing teen shooter & throwing something at him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender for a sex crime involving a minor. pic.twitter.com/up1VgDyrgZ
— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) August 27, 2020
Feel free to wonder if you should feel bad when a minor shoots a convicted pedophile.
The third who was shot (& survived) is Gaige Grosskreutz, 26. He's a member of the People’s Revolution Movement. He was filmed chasing after the teen w/a pistol. He was shot at close-range in the upper arm. He has a criminal record that includes being intoxicated & armed w/a gun. pic.twitter.com/U9Q3R7pcPH

Hardly surprising that these “mostly peaceful protestors” had violent backstories. And for those who question the propriety of a 17-year-old carrying a gun, you have to question whether someone with a criminal record involving a firearm should have been carrying a gun while claiming to be a medic.
Minneapolis is a’lootin’ again. Why? Was there some horrible police-based misdeed? Did they beat the tar out of some random schmoe? Did they shoot a guy? Nope. A guy wanted for murder shot *himself.*
Perhaps it’s time to start suing media outlets who refer to these things as “protests” rather than “riots,” and for claiming they’re about “justice” when clearly it’s “any excuse to loot is good enough.”
This set of models was recently sold on eBay. It depicts a proposed concept for extending the utility of Apollo hardware… in this case, the Command Module and the Ascent Stage of the Lunar Module, by using them in Earth or Lunar orbit in conjunction with a small space laboratory. The Lunar Module would be used as a little space lab of it’s own, with a bolted-on telescope… this idea transformed into the Apollo Telescope Mount on Skylab, which began life as a modified LM. This probably dates from 1965-66. The purpose of the lab was to provide living space for the crew of three, because missions were contemplated lasting several months, providing detailed examination of the Earth or moon. Scientifically useful to be sure, but were the crew packed solely into the CM and LM for that period they’d likely kick the walls out.
