I feel disgustingly cheerful today.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very bright sunny day here in the gulag.\u00a0 Because of the bitter cold, the furnace is roaring away on fuel oil and the forced hot water is merrily exchanging heat with the air in my living room here at the Compound.\u00a0 Camera Girl has sallied forth in Old Car to Wally World to bring me flesh, and bring me wine, and bring me pine logs hither, sort of.\u00a0 Old dog and not so old dog are lazing near the radiators and I have just finished listening to the ZMan\u2019s Friday Power Hour, his weekly podcast, and despite the predictions of crime waves and government malfeasance it was surprisingly upbeat, I thought.<\/p>\n
And I find myself almost ebullient.\u00a0 In the last four days I think four of my posts were linked over at Whatfinger and several thousand extra pageviews were registered and new subscribers joined and new voices appeared in the comments and an interesting opportunity for the site has appeared that may bring still more traffic here.\u00a0 So, a big shout out to Sergeant Pat and the other guys over at Whatfinger.<\/p>\n
But in addition, recent events have led me to believe that the result of the fraudulent election will spark changes in this country that are all for the good.\u00a0 The spell is broken.\u00a0 Everyone is paying attention to the man behind the curtain.\u00a0 And he is definitely not the great and powerful anything.\u00a0 He\u2019s just a cheap grifter with a very powerful organization pulling the strings.\u00a0 The problem for him is that, us being able to see the strings takes away a good deal of the effectiveness of his grift.\u00a0 If the suckers figure out that the three-card monte game is really there as a distraction to help the pickpockets in the crowd then it becomes a lot harder to pick pockets.\u00a0 If the Eloi figure out that the Morlocks are cannibals then they\u2019ll stop walking into the frying pan and that will make it a lot harder on the poor Morlocks trying to make an honest living eating Eloi.<\/p>\n
And the other part of this whole thing is that I actually feel happier not having to make believe I\u2019m in any way associated with people who either believe or publicly pretend to believe that Dementia Joe is their leader.\u00a0 I want to be in a separate grouping from them.\u00a0 I\u2019m ecstatic if they shun me.\u00a0 I look forward to having different social media platforms, payment processors, crowdfunding sites, even retailers and banks.\u00a0 All those things will be immeasurably better if leftists shun them completely.\u00a0 We should make a point of emblazoning on everything we own some triggering slogan that will send the SJW\u2019s into paroxysms of rage and assure that they will never patronize that site.\u00a0 If I thought it would do any good, I\u2019d emblazon the header of my site with \u201cAll Lives Matter!!!!<\/strong>\u201d or something equally scandalous.<\/p>\n Of course, an enormous amount of work is ahead of us to build these new platforms and the Left will do everything they can to torture and attack us every step of the way.\u00a0 But we are still infinitely better off now that the lights are on and we can see the threats.\u00a0 Blundering around in the dark is not only dangerous but it\u2019s also demoralizing.\u00a0 An unseen danger is much more frightening and confusing.\u00a0 For tens of millions of people, the knowledge of who is and isn\u2019t your friend will make avoiding harm a lot easier.\u00a0 Thinking that Mitch McConnell and John Roberts will ride to our rescue is now obvious lunacy.\u00a0 It\u2019s Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown for the millionth time.\u00a0 It\u2019s done for all but the terminally stupid.<\/p>\n We are at last moving on from the grifters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I feel disgustingly cheerful today.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very bright sunny day here in the gulag.\u00a0 Because of the bitter cold, the furnace is roaring away<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,818],"tags":[799,2842,580],"class_list":["post-13233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-ocf","tag-build-your-own-platforms","tag-free-america","tag-ocf-update"],"yoast_head":"\n
