THE WEEK IN PICTURES: EPICYCLE EDITION

This was from a couple weeks back, but still full of fun.
I admit that I got carried away in this illustrated edition — 69 pictures! — but between climate change cultism and general Leftism, I couldn’t resist.

But I repeat myself, for about the fourth time in as many years. This is for all of those — black, white, and other — who think white “supremacy” is a thing.
“Black people—not just those who are American—view white people in the same manner that anti-theists view God.”
Anti-theists are different from atheists. Even though anti-theists deny God’s existence with their mouths and keyboards, they believe in Him…and they hate Him.”
“Many black people have a similar view of white people: they view all of you as their hated masters — yes, still, in [2019] — but their masters, nonetheless. Moreover, as our masters, it is your duty to feed, clothe, and house us; and to give us anything else we ask of you.”
“As history shows, before the Civil Rights Era, most black Americans were Republicans; now, because of well-crafted strategy implemented by LBJ, et al., most are Democrats.”
“That strategy is based on the real slavery mindset: that whoever provides the most things — whoever is the most generous patron to black people — is a friend to black people.”
“LBJ knew this; therefore, he strove to transform his party’s image into that of the good and generous patron.”
“[Definition of] Patron: 5 : a master in ancient times who freed his slave but retained some rights over him.”
“Even though the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 respectively disallowed patronage and de jure serfdom, the mindset remains embedded in the progeny of the former slaves/serfs.”
“Thus, since the CRA, most black Americans have given their allegiance to the Democrat Party and, because of the mindset, they have certain expectations of white Americans — those expected of a patron.”
“From that notion comes this one: many black liberals believe that black conservatives give their allegiance to the Republican Party for the exact same reason, and that they are, therefore, sell-outs.”
“Note that, to black liberals, even politics always involves some imagined sale of black persons.”
“They are unable to view white persons outside of the master/patron/domination paradigm and cannot envision any relationship between black persons and white persons outside of that perspective.”
“Somebody has to be on top. And, in light of our past and our indoctrinated and unacknowledged feelings of inferiority, most black liberals believe it will be you, my white friends.”
“Most black conservatives have freed themselves from this mindset, but, like all long-term indoctrination, it remains insidious.”
“Therefore, I conclude this: until the majority of black people get white people out of their heads and begin view you as EQUALS, the shouts of racism will continue, as will the shout-down of the truly emancipated.”
“Freedom begins inside.”

There was a time I would’ve written a little program to fetch these kinds of links and format them for publication every day. Alas, my technical skills are still good but the tech I use is tinkertoy not diesel engine as I’d need. THEREFORE, today’s links are suggestions and you should visit these sites regularly for yourself.

“What they’re doing is wrong and possibly illegal,” Trump told Fox News host Tucker Carlson about tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter during an interview.
“There are a lot of people that want us to take action against Facebook, against Twitter, and frankly against Amazon, a lot of people want us to take action,” he added.…

…Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.
None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.…

…The basic idea of the cellphone was introduced to the public in 1945 – not in Popular Mechanics or Science, but in the down-home Saturday Evening Post. Millions of citizens would soon be using “handie-talkies,” declared J.K. Jett, the head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Licenses would have to be issued, but that process “won’t be difficult.” The revolutionary technology, Jett promised in the story, would be formulated within months.
But permission to deploy it would not. The government would not allocate spectrum to realize the engineers’ vision of “cellular radio” until 1982, and licenses authorizing the service would not be fully distributed for another seven years. That’s one heck of a bureaucratic delay.…

Scientists Develop A Strain Of Genetically Modified Rice That Neutralizes HIV
GMO rice has already been developed to tackle malnutrition and climate change. Now scientists from the US, UK, and Spain have developed a new strain to manage HIV symptoms in countries where traditional medicines can be hard to access.

September 11th.
We got lucky. Even if the hijackers were not stopped by those security people or the police in their traffic stops, as known wolves.
The towers held together long enough to get most out. A tribute to sound design, solid Union workmanship, and heroes leading people out of the buildings.
If the attack was later in the morning, the towers hit lower, and the towers fell quickly, that is 70,000 dead. A nuke hit level of dead.
Plus the Pentagon had one wall (of 5) just upgraded in strength. The wall the jet hit. Could have been a lot worse there.
And finally, the brave passengers and crew of Flight 93 fought back, and stopped 25% of the attack, when the Air Force was not effective in stopping any of it.
That day is vivid in my memory. I will never forget.
Milady and I had gone to town late in the morning, turned on the news, and heard, “The World Trade Centers are gone.” I didn’t yet know how, but I knew who, damn them.
Came back to the ranch and told the kids the news, as much as we had at that point. I told them, this is your Pearl Harbor.
Sort-of.
They utterly destroyed the Axis in only four years.
