WHILE DOING SOME CLEAN-UP of the incredible tonnage of tax-related flotsam
and jetsam that has washed up on my shores over the years, I came across a
long-forgotten smile-inducing item I had found way back in the early
"aughts" of this new century during what, despite the war of aggression
against Iraq and the USA PATRIOT Act outrage, almost seem like "the good
old days" compared to today's COVID coup and Brandon's Build Back Broken
agenda. The pleasing find is a newsletter from a small outfit doing
business as the United Methodist Federal Credit Union. Here's the masthead:
Nothing exciting in that little segment, of course, or in most of the rest
of the two page newsletter, for that matter. But at the bottom of that
first page we find this little gem:

* Comments In Brief*
*Short takes on selected items lately in the news, such as the admirable
Italian government revision of C19 fatality figures, the silver lining to
Kyle Rittenhouse's terrible ordeal, a solution to the illegal border
crossings in Texas, and more.*
THE ITALIAN INSTITUTE OF HEALTH has revised its official total C19 death
toll from 130,468 to 3,783, finally acknowledging the difference between
the irrelevant cases of death which was from other causes but in which C19
was alleged to be present (or had been purportedly detected sometime within
a few weeks or a month of the death) and those actually brought about by
C19 itself. See the report here
<https://www.globalresearch.ca/italian-institute-health-drastically-reduces-official-covid-death-toll-number/5760891>
.
Were US officials to be similarly honest, the official US death toll would
drop from a frightening, any-port-in-a-storm-panic-inducing 762,929 to a
much more rational-response-conducive 45,776. (See the analyses here
<https://losthorizons.com/N/166.htm#1>, here
<https://losthorizons.com/N/167.htm#1> and here
<https://losthorizons.com/N/168.htm#1>.)
I wonder why US officials are NOT honest about this?

ONE SILVER LINING to the dark cloud of Kyle Rittenhouse's outrageous
ordeal is that after watching the trial, many people should be awakening to
the quantity and quality of deception practiced by the MSM in service to
their agenda. As details emerged during the courtroom proceedings, it
became increasingly clear that not only was everything reported by the MSM
and "official" voices over the last year and more about the events in
Kenosha on August 25, 2020 misrepresented, but the misrepresentation was so
thoroughly contrary to the facts that it had to be deliberate.
In light of that newly-and -vividly-revealed capacity-- even enthusiasm--
for corruption in the media (and amongst Democrats in office), the ability
of many Americans to reflexively buy-in to other narrative threads promoted
by these same mendacious voices has to be shaken. A lot of folks who
previously had been dismissive of, for instance, assertions of impropriety
in last year's election-- based on a refusal to look at evidence thereof,
due to media and official declarations that there was nothing to see-- must
now be open to second thoughts.
Then there's the C19 fairy tale <https://losthorizons.com/THS.htm#17>...
and the "climate emergency" <https://losthorizons.com/N/64.htm#CC>... and
systemic
racism <https://losthorizons.com/N/110.htm#2>... and the Russian threat
<https://losthorizons.com/N/24.htm#4>... and Iranian aggression
<https://losthorizons.com/N/50.htm#CE>... and "modern monetary theory"
<https://www.losthorizons.com/A/GettingItGoodAndHard.htm>... and "income"
meaning "all that comes in" in tax law
<https://losthorizons.com/TheNatureOfTheTax.pdf>... and so on, and so
forth, *ad infinitum, ad nauseum*.

CROCODILES IN THE RIO GRANDE. How about it?
Not namby-pamby alligators or caimans. Crocs.
20 ft. long, 2,000 lb. crocodiles-- the kind that keep alligators as pets.
Don't you think that might help stem the flood of illegals pouring across
what is supposed to be a border? I do.

* The Real Story Of Thanksgiving*
*Do yourself and society a favor-- read this to your kids.*
THANKSGIVING DAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE special days of the year, and not
because of the great food. The real virtues of this unique American
celebration lie in the lessons in humility and maturity offered by its
history.
The virtuous lessons to which I refer are offered only by Thanksgiving's
true history, however. That true history is the exact opposite of the
bogus, "Thank God (sorry... politically incorrect... make that, "Thank
Fortuitous Random Chance") we were saved from starvation by the generosity
of our neighbors-- see how wonderful socialism can be!" nonsense which too
many Americans have been misled into imagining to be the truth.
In fact, the feast we commemorate on the fourth Thursday of November had
nothing whatsoever to do with "generosity". What we actually commemorate on
Thanksgiving is the Plymouth Rock colonists' recognition of the evils of
socialism and the goodness of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" of
profit-motivation unleashed by security in property rights.
It was that 11th-hour epiphany after a disastrous experiment with
communitarian soulfulness that saved the colony from starvation. Thanks be
to God, indeed, for that merciful and timely grant of wisdom.
IN VERY BRIEF SUMMARY, the Plymouth Rock colony began as a commune,
organized under the principle that the proceeds of every individual's
labors would be claimed of right by the community as a whole, and then
redistributed in equal measure to every member. This system lasted for
several years, during which the colony grew ever more hungry and
impoverished.
Unable to keep the fruit of their labors for themselves, and with the
unproductive receiving the same out of the communal resources as those who
worked hard, soon no one worked hard. To do so was a fool's game.
The only competition un-smothered by the communitarian rule was the race
to the bottom in the avoidance of labor. Every year the crops were thinner;
every year the shares distributed to each colonist were more meager.
Finally, in 1623 and on the verge of the colony's failure (that is, the
death of all the colonists), the feel-good socialist lunacy was recognized
as the deadly mental virus that it is. The ruinous pretense that the
community had a rightful claim on the food produced by each member was
abandoned, and the colonist's rights to their own production was secured.
As it was recounted (in third-person format) in 1623 by William Bradford,
Governor of the Colony:

* The First "Climate Change" Diagnosis Is Here. It Will Not Be The Last*
*A doctor in British Columbia has taken an unprecedented step, and
actually diagnosed an elderly patient as “suffering from climate change”.
But why? And what does that mean for the future? *
by Kit Knightly
Doctor Kyle Merritt, an attending physician at an emergency department in
Nelson BC, added “climate change” as a contributing factor to the medical
issues of one of his patients. And, in so doing, has achieved a remarkable
and troubling world first
<https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/canada-climate-change-diagnoses-patient-b1953355.html>
.
The first-ever medical diagnosis of “climate change”.
Dr Merritt said in an interview with Glacier Media:
"If we’re not looking at the underlying cause, and we’re just treating the
symptoms, we’re just gonna keep falling further and further behind,” the
emergency room doctor told Glacier Media. […] It’s me trying to just…
process what I’m seeing.”
The entire situation raises some interesting questions.
*Does it make medical sense?*
Of course it doesn’t.
He diagnosed her as “suffering from climate change”. You can’t do that, it
is insane.
That’s like diagnosing someone who was struck by lightning as “suffering
from the effects of rain” or a person having a heart attack as “suffering
from the effects of Mcdonald’s”.
…actually, it’s worse than that. At least my examples have a distinct
cause-and-effect relationship, and there are no scientific papers
suggesting Mcdonald’s doesn’t actually exist.
The patient in question is over 70, asthmatic, diabetic and suffering from
heart failure. She’s very, very sick…no matter the climate.
Even if Dr Merritt can somehow trace a decline in her health due to the
weather (and there’s no evidence at all that he can), actually diagnosing
it is completely bonkers.
*…so why do it?*

*"I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves...too
wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the
selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of
mock patriotism: 'Our country, right or wrong!' They will not fail to
recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare
of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling
to the watchword of true patriotism: 'Our country--when right to be kept
right; when wrong to be put right.'"*
