Until it directly impacts them, nothing is a problem. No-one they know has gotten really sick, so the media is exaggerating. It still gets cold in the winter, so global warming isn't real.

Or if it affects them they still rationalize it away. My Q stepmom had an ex die of covid over the summer. She insisted it was a faked diagnosis because Covid doesn't take a healthy 65 year old to the ICU on a ventilator and kill them in just 8 days.

They claim that everyone with covid as the listed cause of death actually died of something else and the cause of death is faked for political reasons.

Now you might ask: If the total death count hasn’t changed, why are there overflow ICU tents and bodies piling up outside of morgues? That one’s easy: Every medical professional and journalist is in on the con.

There is no amount of evidence you can present to them that will convince them. American Conservativism is a cult.

There are freepers in those threads saying "I got it and still have symptoms months later". Trump and a bunch of sycophants within his inner circle got it. There are people in hospitals dying with it believing that it is fake.

Those of them that do admit it's real will dive in to conspiracy theories that it is bioengineered by China and on and on down the conspiracy rabbit hole because Occam's Razor isn't a concept they want to grasp. And even if it was engineered it doesn't loving matter because it would still be a tangible thing they should be taking measures against to avoid getting it!

What's wrong with them is that they are unwilling to admit that they, and by extension Trump, are wrong. It's incredibly petty, frustrating, and destructive. And not just to them but others as well! Look at the Republicans refusing to wear masks during the insurrection: now Democrats that were masked up are getting COVID. They're waging biological warfare against their enemies with their stupidity and they don't loving care. They'll just make up whatever they need to which will absolve them of responsibility and keep on loving up things for everyone else. Once employers start putting their foots down on vaccines they're going to lose their poo poo even more.

Total deaths in the USA in 2018 was about 2.8 million. The #1 Cause of Death was heart disease. It killed 655,000. Cancer was #2 at 599,000. Covid is creeping up in 400,000 right now, it could very well break that number before the 1 year anniversary of the first US case on the 20th and will absolutely break that number before the 1 year anniversary of the declaration of the public health crisis on the 31st.

If we reach that number this ONE DISEASE added an entire extra 1/7th to our annual death count. ONE DISEASE. How many different conditions fall under "heart disease?" How many different cancers got combined to add up to that number? COVID IS THE DEADLIEST DISEASE AMERICA HAS SEEN IN A CENTURY AND SOMEHOW THIS DOESN'T COMPUTE FOR THEM. HOW?!

His organizing days go back at least to Obama’s 2014 war on cops. Not sure if it was the same protest as the one he was known to organize, but he was also at a Utah protest where leftists mobbed a vehicle that happened by and shot the driver, then tried to do the same to another. At least one of those arrested had links to his group on her social media page.

A freeper bitching about getting banned on twitter.

ðŸÂ¿(My first post.)

Clear evidence: the raid was premeditated wth malice of forethought— genuine sedition with intent (as always) to frame President Trump.

Removal of communications— intention either to aid in murder, kidnapping, or even torture.

Insiders and DC police complicit.

Pelosi refused safeguards. And I recall a report that McConnell did too.

All part of the same war. The Russian Collusion hoax and the Steal are both acts of war just as this is.

***

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Tail_Whipper on Gab as well as @Tail_Whipper in Twitter. I have some good research in both places.

Wanted to be Tail_Whipper here but accidentally capitalized my email address.
Twitmo is fun though... a nickname for Twitter Jail. So I lucked out.

For the second time Twitter suspended my account. And both times they made fools of themselves.

Current Stint in Twitmo

Geraldo made a complete rear end of himself today. He tweeted regret that so few Republicans impeached Trump.

I shot video feeds to him showing REAL sedition by Maxine Waters, AOC, Obama, and Pelosi herself. I reminded him about the storming of the Whitehouse not ling ago and how they reacted.


The hypocracy is ludicrous.

Then a thought came to me and a buddy at the same time— why was Geraldo pivoting so sharply? And we both openly wondered about something. Here is Twitter’s response:

***

Violating our rules against hateful conduct.
You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.

2:36 PM - 13 Jan 2021

***

Here is the funny part:

Did I harass his sexuality? Or does Twitter think that Geraldo is mentally disabled? Do they assume that he is a pedophile? Does Twitter have inside knowledge of him being a male prostitute?

Otherwise I violated no rule listed.

I think he is a political whore like most in media.

And I get a horny dog vibe off of the guy, especially when he begged Madonna for sex on live TV (decades ago).

But apparently a Twitmo moderator has inside knowledge about him that would stun Geraldo’s fans.

Yeah human brains are really bad at reasoning about probabilities, risks, percentages, etc.

If any of those "heh 99.5% survival rate" guys walked into a huge night club and saw a dead body on the floor and a dozen more people being wheeled out on stretchers to go to the ER, and the bartender said "yeah we got some tainted liquor but the death rate is less than 1%, want a drink?" they'd turn and run.

But because the virus is invisible and everything feels normal even while it's spreading in there crowd around you, and the consequences don't show up until days later and are mostly hidden behind hospital and morgue walls unless it happens to someone you know personally, people are happy to take irrational risks much higher than risks they're normally comfortable with.

The most suspicious aspect of this whole things is how few police and security people were on site. Veteran DC visitors have commented that the security presence seemed below levels even for an ordinary, non-demonstration day.

Even though Trump rallies are typically peaceful (unless disrupted by hecklers), the fact of such a large crowd protesting an allegedly stolen election might presumably be in an angry mood, and would be likely to attract counter-protesters, raising the possibility of skirmishes.

And if it's also true that the FBI had advance warning of troublemakers showing up, the miniscule security presence is extraordinarily suspicious. You don't have to be a conspiracy-minded person to ask why this happened, and to wonder if forces within government were hoping for trouble, maybe even contributing to it in some manner, in order to discredit Trump and his movement.

The obvious intent, as I had no doubt about from the start, was for these communist-revolutionary scum to mix in with the crowd and instigate the violence and destruction that took place. That is what these communist scum do, same with the "social justice" protests.

They have developed such unrealistic expectations of America and their fellow Americans that they deserve nothing but to have the lessons they so desperately need to learn be placed as obstacles to their intended path. They have shown the world what they’re made of and it’s not in any way the “right stuff” for the future of America and the world.

Not a Minecraft player, but speaking from experience otherwise, making traditional art is expensive, and often requires space that just isn't available, especially sculpture, unless it's just a random pencil and cheap sketchbook from Walmart. Digital art is often more expensive than any of that too, with it more or less requiring some form of drawing tablet, and the programs to create it in.

tl;dr Minecraft is cheap. And, also, art in Minecraft doesn't necessarily translate to other kinds of art either; knowing how to paint like Bob Ross doesn't mean you can go chisel marble.

From American Thinker Apologizes for False Stories about Dominion Voting Machines posted by freeper Kevin C

Not only did they publish a full retraction, they have actually disabled comments on their articles site-wide.

American "Thinker" posted:

American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on https://www.americanthinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.

These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims.

It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

Freep is not taking this very well.

They go straight to Italygate right away.

That’s a hilarious statement. If they were showing the statement being read in the video, you could see the captive blinking their eyelids in Morse code style to say, “we’re just saying this BS to stay in business.” No one here believes the people we read and post articles from did any lying.

Removing comments, groveling to their Democrat masters. Why didn’t they just shutdown? Would have saved their integrity. Anything on this site is now suspect in my opinion.

I fully expect them to soon post stories about how wonderful Democrats are and why we should all atone for our sins and blindness. I am removing them from my sites for editorials list.

I said from the start that the whole "machines/computers switching votes" was a farce. I'm sure that was the single biggest reason why the Trump team dropped Sidney Powell like a hot potato.

Anyone who has looked at this whole election charade with an ounce of common sense would have seen that these particular charges were phony, and had no basis in fact. It was obvious to me that the nitwits peddling this nonsense didn't have a clue how ballots were cast and counted in 95% or more of the U.S.

The Dominion machines worked fine. That was part of the plan. They didn't need to rig any machines because this was all just a ballot-stuffing exercise and they just needed the machines to count the ballots (including hundreds of thousands of potentially fraudulent ones) correctly.

"Release the Kraken?" LOL. Release the crack in my @ss, more likely.

even thought there is plausible evidence that Dominion Systems were compromised and need to be fully investigated.

I really don't think there is. At this point, if there is proof of widespread election fraud, it needs to be released to the public, in its entirety. Everything I've read and have hinged hope on has been fake news. You don't fold like a cheap suit when the truth is on your side and you can prove it. Apparently, they can't.

Colonel Phil Waldron testified multiple times in front of different state legislators that Dominion Voting machines were fraudulent. He also said the data packets on election night went overseas, and they tracked and had those packets.

This 2001 freeper also goes against the narrative.

To: Kevin C

American Thinker caved because they had absolutely no actual proof that the Dominion machines did not work as advertised. Many lies were told about their accuracy and reliability. President Trump, the GOP, and many conservatives should be ashamed of making claims that had no basis in reality.

Dominion has billions backing them, the entire democrat party to punish anyone who questions them, and the entire tech industry at their command. Submit or be destroyed.
Though reading the statement it seems over the top in a tongue and cheek way.

But now that the con has been legitimized the democrats will mandate Dominion machines nation wide. Welcome to one party rule. Tyranny is just getting started.

One of THE TESTS OF TRUTH is

Agreement With Experience

The Democrats are telling us that 80,000,000 American citizens voted for Biden/Harris.

Harris had a rally in Las Vegas where nobody, NOBODY showed up.

Nobody at a rally at a Democrat stronghold, but 80,000,000 voted for them?

Yeah.

Sure.

American Thinker has discredited itself several times over in recent months that had nothing to do with voting machines or the election. They had an article claiming that mRNA “genetically modifies” you (it does not and cannot), even after Trump had himself personally acknowledged his COVID diagnosis, went to the hospital, and confirmed his symptoms, they published an article claiming “all signs point to false positive” and Trump was having no symptoms or issues. That publication is ridiculous.

It’s pretty sad that these Trump associated lawyers have sucked so many people into this crap. There will be people on this discussion board believing these machines were a big problem for years all because of their false claims. These lawyers should all be ashamed of themselves. I hope they get disbarred.

Yet another 1998 freeper

To: Kevin C

The bottom line is this: if AT had real proof to back up their stories they would have presented it. Dominion obviously is not afraid of discovery and AT knew that they couldn't deliver or they wouldn't have backed down. IF they had proof, there would have been no shortage of conservative lawyers who would have defended AT.

All I hear are theories and allegations but so far nothing in the way of proof has been presented anywhere to any court to substantiate these charges. It appears that Giuliani, Wood and Powell have been misleading us and more tragically have mislead the President. When push came to shove, they put up nothing but a goose egg when it counted (in court)

It sucks to be lied to by people who were previously considered trustworthy. It's not our fault and I will never take all 3 seriously again. It's almost as if they have undone the good they accomplished prior to this For the record, I was with them them until Thanksgiving weekend when it became obvious they had nothing.

So I've been intentionally quoting posts that call out the bullshit and noting their reg dates. Just to be clear tho, not all these oldschool freepers are backing off from the insanity. Here's a 1998.

Just like the so called “insurrection” on capital that congress knew about at least the day before and started even before TRUMP had finished his address to his followers over a mile away - this site too has been infiltrated with the enemy...not a new tactic but it has been expanded to attempt to cause division, diversion and perhaps to be the beginning of the end of this sites purpose and presents on the web...but I can and sense the changes in the conversations and various continuing...unfailing, unrelenting, unraveling negative posts to no end! Disagreement is good for discussion but for a common and eventual purpose in the end...hopefully. JMHO

Hey, if it doesn’t COMPLETELY conform to our already existing opinions and views, it’s “FAKE NEWS”. Get with the Program. All we need around here is youtube videos and articles that tell us what we already believe: the election was stolen, the voting machines were hacked, almost no one voted for Biden, any information contrary to that and we MUST, to be patriotic Americans, attack and denigrate the source! If the President tells us 2+2 = 5 then get with it or you want us to be a Chinese Client state with open borders as socialistic taxes!

Stop with the hyperbole. It makes you look like a liar. Your dismissive screed of 'penalty of perjury' shows you to be someone inclined to cheat. I suspect most Freepers are more honest than you.

quote:

Delta Force had to go and fight the CIA in Frankfurt to retrieve information from servers.
Those are not the facts presented, but like any good propaganda, it has a germ of truth. It was a detachment from the US Army Europe. They lost 5 military and one CIA operative (transferred from Middle East). Military press noted the helicopter that went down with 5 military shortly after, no survivors. And it was CIA contractors defending the server in Frankfurt.

And when you finally address evidence, your fixation on Q is something YOU introduce. This is followed by 'It could be ...', 'Or it could have ..', '... a drunken stupor', 'Or it could have come ...' 'Or it could have come ...' and 'you don’t know ...' suppositions meant solely to waste the readers' time.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, there were 3 known foreign server farms involved, Spain, where the votes arrived from the US; Frankfurt, a CIA server where the votes were added and flipped; and Italy, another CIA server where foreign players got to flip votes. What has not been publicly evidenced is internet packets with votes that can be traced destination to destination. It would require a tedious proof by server logs and 'vote' images that most of us don't have the patience to sit thru.

So now, perhaps you can confirm that 3 AccessDB (MicroSoft) datasets are used to record the votes during the election in Dominion Voting system. Why aren't you demanding to see those three files; current actual vote, current modified vote, and projected margins to be met by the voting algorithms(?) I haven't seen them, but a judge saw it as a CSV file and denied admittance as evidence because it might be propriety software ...).

What the hell is the origin of this Frankfurt server thing? I keep seeing it mentioned, but I have no idea where it's coming from. Was there some incident thats being spun into a firefight between Patriotic Our Troops Special Forces vs. The CIA Deep State, or has it been made up of whole cloth by some Q-cultist/grifter/madman?

I saw the anti vaxxer thread posted on the last page. Out of curiosity how pervasive is the anti vaxx poo poo on Freep? It would be hilarious if that's what puts the nail in Freep's coffin.

Also if JimRob finally croaked would his family try to weekend at bernie's his account to keep people from leaving or would they try to use it to get a big payday? Is there the possibility of a fight among his family for possession of the site?

It was made up out of whole cloth on social media, then picked up by prominent idiots like Louie Gohmert.

Anti-vax is a significant minority among Freepers. I'd guess that probably 20% are solidly anti-vax with up to 40-50% who are only against the COVID vaccine. Even before Covid you'd occasionally see antivaxx threads show up but they rarely got a ton of comments.
