Now slowly tip up one end of the plank until the moment when the book just starts to slide.

Or, in more evocative terms - as I write I am lying on the couch with the laptop in my lap, in perfect repose. If you started tipping up the couch, at some... more »

“Burn, Baby, Burn! The Thin Veil of Civilization”
*“Burn, Baby, Burn! The Thin Veil of Civilization”* by Addison Wiggin "Not far from our house lies Pimlico race course, site of the Preakness, the middle leg of the Triple Crown each year. Horse racing is big, or at least pretends to be, in Maryland. Pimlico during Preakness is bedlam. Our neighbors rent out their lawns for parking... then spend all the money they make to repair ruts in their lawns, bag beer cans and fast food wrappers and usher drunk millennials off to their next destinations. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but there are pros and cons to living near one of ho... more »

Minneapolice Murder - False Flag Distraction from Covid-19 - Wheels coming off Pandemic Bus?
*Derek Chauvin - False Flag Distraction from* *Covid-19 Wheels coming Off Pandemic Bus?* "Fired Minneapolis police officer charged with 3rd-degree murder in George Floyd's death" Many in the alternative news community are now saying that the *Minneapolice murder*, the cause of the unleashing the now formulaic black/white race riots in USrael, was yet another in the *never-ending series of False Flags*. The clues are absolutely the same as in countless other episodes: The public spectacle/terror, the coinkydynks--the two men--murdered and murderer--knew each other. In fact *they... more »
BAP Calls On United Nations To Address U.S. Human Rights Crisis
The extrajudicial murders of African/Black people, such as Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, by agents of the U.S. government and armed civilians have sparked urban rebellions in cities across the United States. Yet these murders cannot be understood outside of the context of the U.S. state’s ongoing assault on the human rights of African/Black people. U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweet demanding lethal violence—“...when the looting starts, the shooting starts...”—requires the United Nations to intervene. Trump’s threat comes as the U.S. state has tragically failed ... more »
Media Smeared Ahmaud Arbery After His Lynching
While it took two and a half months for the authorities to finally make arrests in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, corporate media were much quicker to follow the time-honored practice of besmirching victims of racist violence (FAIR.org, 3/22/17). First they kill your body. Then they kill your reputation. When white supremacy is the foundation of the US’s media, political, legal and corporate system, victims of racist violence are often killed twice in this way. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation on May 7 arrested former cop Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34,... more »

CDC Admits COVID-19 Antibody Tests Are Wrong
Half The Time & Virus Isn’t That Deadly From ZeroHedge: Excerpts: The mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the CDC has admitted the death rate for COVID-19 is actually lower than the flu. This is happening as the media admits that the antibody tests are wrong 50% of the time! The scamdemic fear-mongering is ongoing and the propaganda is getting worse daily, even as their OWN DATA shows otherwise. Instead of giving the public the facts, the media continues to push for an extended lockdown, freedom trampling regulations, mass surveillance, and our permanent enslavement for their... more »
Agent Provocateur Smashing Windows In Minnesota?
From Ninety Miles from Tyranny: you need to watch the video. I didn’t see that SafeSpace had already created a post on this….

[image: media-completely-misrepresents-trump-tweets-about-minneapolis-rioting] In their flailing efforts to blame President Donald Trump for the actions of a lone police officer in Minneapolis, the mainstream media is once again twisting the president's words to make it appear as if he made a racist statement, when in fact, the opposite is true.
