Pearl Harbor, December 7.

National Day: Day of Remembrance.

Time and Date: December 7 - Pearl Harbor.

On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the American Army and Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The attack came as a surprise to the American Army and Navy and lead to great losses of life and equipment. More than 2000 American citizens were killed and more than 1000 were injured. The Americans also lost a large proportion of their battle ships and nearly 200 aircraft that were stationed in the Pacific region.

Mercury News (via Archive): Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — just three survivors of the USS Arizona remain.

The three remaining USS Arizona survivors are Don Stratton, Lou Conter and Ken Potts.

Don Stratton was 19 at the time of the attack.

Lou Conter was 20 during the attack.

Ken Potts was 20 during the surprise attack.

Reader's Digest: A Powerful Firsthand Account of What Really Happened at Pearl Harbor.

It has been said that when an old person dies, it is like a library burning down. For the past 75 years, I have tried to share what I remember of World War II, but a day will come when I can no longer speak. Then what will become of everything I experienced on December 7, 1941? That’s why I wrote this account.

Someone bet against the Israeli stock market in the days before Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.

CBS News: Someone bet against the Israeli stock market in the days before Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.

A study by researchers from Columbia University and NYU called "Trading on Terror?" suggests that a trader may have been aware of the coming attack, bet against the Israeli economy and walked away with a profit by short selling on the U.S. and Israeli stock exchanges.
[.]
[...] the Israel Exchange-Traded Fund [...] on any given day has around 2,000 shares shorted. According to the researchers, on Oct. 2, that number shot up to over 227,000 shares.
[.]
According to Columbia Law School Professor Joshua Mitts, one of the authors of the study, "that's extremely unusual." It was also profitable[.]
[.]
All of this led them to their conclusion that the trades were not a coincidence, but a tactic by someone who knew the attack was coming.

"We think it's virtually impossible this happened by chance," Mitts told CBS News.

Man shoots {woman} performing oral sex.

KSTP: Man charged for murder in Minneapolis’ Phillips West neighborhood.

Court documents note the victim, 38-year-old Savannah Ryan Williams, was obviously dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office had identified Williams, a transgender woman, by her birthname of Miguel Reed Stillday.
[.]
25-year-old Damarean Kaylon Bible, is now charged with second-degree murder for Williams’ death.

A criminal complaint notes that Bible called his parents from jail and said he’d “just murdered someone” and while he was sorry, he “had to do it.”

Police later found a 9 mm handgun and a rifle in his apartment, as well as the clothing he was seen wearing on surveillance videos at the time of the murder, the complaint states.

While Bible initially claimed he wasn’t involved, he later admitted that he shot Williams, according to court documents. He went on to explain that he walked past Williams, who was in a bus shelter, and Williams asked if he was interested in sex. They walked to the courtyard and, once finished, Bible said Williams was making him feel suspicious and that’s when shot her.

"One of Those Days" by Ozzy Osbourne, from 2022's Patient Number 9.

Notable R&R names appearing on this album include Iommi, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Mike McCready, Taylor Hawkins, Duff McKagan.

No, the song isn't about rejecting faith in Jesus, it's just the opposite:

[Osbourne's] honest humanity comes through in "One Of Those Days" as he sings about the struggle to hold onto his faith in Jesus in the midst of a world in flames.
[.]
Osbourne made clear that "One Of Those Days" is not an anti-Christian song. Really, it's lyrics are obviously pro-Christian in the sense that for one's faith to be tested, there had to be faith there to begin with. It likely wouldn't have been an issue at all if it weren't for Osbourne's past reputation.

And your machiavellian schemes
I know they say that you are very vain
And short and fat and pushy but at least you're not insane

You're so chubby and so neat
With your funny clothes and your squishy nose

You're like a German parakeet
All right so people say that you don't care
But you've got nicer legs than Hitler
And bigger tits than Cher

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the LORD is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.

Student Loan Deadbeats, pay your fucking loans! 

CNBC: Student loan bills resume for 40 million Americans. How it could shake the economy.

Ryan Moran, a nurse in Jacksonville, Florida, hasn’t thought about his federal student loans in years. But this month, he’s scrambling to figure out how to make room in his budget for his $500 monthly bill.

He and his wife, Amelia, plan to dine out less and to skip the football games they love to attend. His grocery bills will also need to shrink.

“And it’s not only consumption that decreases,” said Moran, 26. “Increasing monthly payments means I have to work overtime, taking time away from my family.”
[.]
Meanwhile, many people with student debt plan to cut back their spending on clothing, travel and food.

Oh, so during the past years these people knew this date was coming and instead of preparing for it many were spending on travel, sporting events and dining out. It didn't dawn on them to set X dollars aside per month for this day?

B-B-B-but..."the economy is so bad." I don't know why they think this, Biden tells everyone this is the greatest economy ever.

 "it believes a higher-than-normal 32% of members voted for the Republican candidate." 🤣 32%? Oh no! How dare they! The beatings will continue until morale improves and until the union votes 110% democrat!

Adding to the irony is that in 2016, the UAW favored Bernie Sanders for president until the DNC pulled the rug out from under him and coronated Cankles. The UAW had no choice, then, in supporting her.

"No Anchovies, Please" from the album Love Stinks, by The J. Geils Band.

Covid variants are evolving unnaturally.

Imagine, one or two years ago the post title would trigger The Blooger Team to email me telling me this naughty content is unscientific conspiracy theory and for the good of the public it has to be spiked.  

Substack: "Unnatural evolution": indisputable evidence for deliberate and systematic creation of circulating covid variants.

On August 5th 2023 a Japanese research team published a pre-print that appears to contain the most important and shocking revelations of the covid era.

Atsuki Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University, wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2 by studying viral sequences found "in the wild" and deposited in public databases.

In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes. The existence of these variants seems to provide definitive proof of large-scale lab creation and release of covid viruses.

Moreover the variants appear to form comprehensive panels of mutations typical of those used in "reverse genetics" experiments to systematically test the properties of different parts of viruses.
[.]
As with all evolution, changes in the spike protein occur through progressive accumulation of mutations. In the case of omicron BA1 there are 37 non-synonymous mutations - that is, points where the sequence of the spike protein produced is different to that of the original Wuhan variant.

Tanaka and Miyazawa wanted to use public databases to trace the evolutionary history of the omicron BA1 spike protein - that is, to answer the question: in what order did these 37 mutations accumulate?
[.]
A surer approach, and the one taken by Tanaka and Miyasawa, is to work backwards instead. That means starting by working out which of the 37 mutations is the last, or most recent.

To do this you need to find a sequence that includes all the mutations except one - and this must be the most recent mutation.

So Tanaka and Miyazawa made a series of 37 database queries using sequences each lacking just one of the omicron BA1 mutations - reasoning that one of them should find a match, indicating the last mutation in the series.

It's interesting to imagine yourself in the position of these researchers, running queries for each of the 37 mutations, perhaps wondering which of them would turn out to be the most recent, and getting the answer.. ..ALL OF THEM.

Well, all but 1 - which makes no material difference.

Their brains must have exploded.
[.]
Conclusion: this changes everything.

If the observations and inferences in this paper are correct - and barring a pure hoax, involving fraudulent depositions to sequence databases, they certainly seem to be - then they provide indisputable evidence that the entire history of SARS-CoV2, at least subsequent to the emergence of the original strain, is artificial.

Someone, somewhere, really is doing all this deliberately.

Where else have you read about this in the degree of detail at the Substack link? Not much coverage. Why not? Shouldn't the public have as much information on this as possible? Who profits from all this?

Create viruses, sell vaccines. What a racket! It'd be nice to know who's doing this.

"She Drives Me Crazy" by FYC, from 1989's The Raw & the Cooked.

Group of bandits break into 13 homes, steal luxury cars in NYC. Equity!

NY Post: Group of bandits break into 13 homes, steal luxury cars in NYC.

A group of bandits broke into more than a dozen homes in ritzy NYC neighborhoods, swiping nearly 10 luxury cars in a cross-borough operation that spanned three months.

The car thieves stole a Porsche, Mercedes, Range Rover and other high-end vehicles from driveways in Queens and Brooklyn from June through August, police said.

They were still on the loose Sunday night.

The gang typically worked in groups of four and three and targeted homes primarily in the affluent neighborhood of Whitestone but also hit houses in Bayside, Jamaica Estates, Holliswood, Manhattan Beach and Bay Ridge.

They would strike in the early morning hours — often when the homeowners were asleep inside.
[.]
They struck again the day after that and swiped a Range Rover SUV and a Porsche from a home near Cambridge Road and Somerset Street — and again a day when they drove away with jewelry, clothes, cash and a Mercedes Benz from a home near Ridge Boulevard and 77th Street in Brooklyn, police said.

In the words of Celine Dion, Let them touch those things for once!

Touch them? Nah. Let them take and keep those things. It's free market equity!

And nothing less than $50's on the TP roll. $1's are insulting.

Tens of thousands of people attending the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert are being told to conserve food, water and fuel as they shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert after a heavy rainstorm pummeled the area, festival organizers said.

Attendees were surrounded by thick, ankle-deep mud and organizers halted vehicles from traveling in or out of the festival after heavy rains started saturating the area Friday evening.

Hannah Burhorn, a first-time attendee at the festival, told CNN in a phone interview Saturday the desert sand has turned into thick clay and puddles and mud are everywhere. People are wrapping trash bags and Ziploc bags around their shoes to avoid getting stuck, while others are walking around barefoot.

ABC News: Entrance to Burning Man in Nevada closed due to flooding. Festivalgoers urged to shelter in place.

The entrance will be closed for the remainder of the event, which began on Aug. 27 and was scheduled to end on Monday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Black Rock Desert where the festival is being held.

More than one-half inch of rain is believed to have fallen on Friday at the festival site, located about 110 miles (177 kilometers) north of Reno, the National Weather Service in Reno said. At least another quarter of an inch of rain is expected Sunday.

Organizers urged festivalgoers to conserve their food, water and fuel.

Officials haven’t yet said when the entrance was expected to be opened again.

Conserve fuel? Aren't these the granola-headed, vegan, no fossil-fuels, solar/wind power, anti-establishment crowd?

Oh, not the Burning Man Festival! How Sad! Let's hope they're not trapped there forever 'n ever!

WTNH (December 2020): Senators Blumenthal, Murphy get first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

His symptoms are mild.

It's time for everyone to test positive for Teh Coof because we're about one year away from an election! Gotta prep the fearp0rn, lockdowns and push for that 7th booster. Or is it booster # 8? # 9? I've lost count.

Social Media Meltdown over KFC ad showing only black people eating chicken without utensils!

VIBE (on Yahoo): Black Twitter Calls Out KFC’s Latest Campaign As “Racially Tone Deaf”.

Black Twitter has deemed Kentucky Fried Chicken’s latest campaign “racially tone deaf.”

On Thursday (Aug. 24), KFC Canada’s Director of Marketing, Azim Akhtar, revealed their ad on X/Twitter. He uploaded three pictures of the new advertisement featuring an all-Black cast of people licking their fingers.

“Sorry Utensils, It’s Finger Lickin’ Good,” Akhtar typed. “Latest campaign, I couldn’t be more proud!!” Black Twitter caught wind of the promotion and labeled the billboards racist. Some people questioned the intention behind casting all-Black actors for the ad, when everyone enjoys fried chicken.

“1. So [white] people don’t lick their fingers? 2. We still not eating this (in this country),” one social media user xweeted. “3. I just know it’s a Black person on the creative team like, ‘I knew this wasn’t a good idea, but they don’t listen to me, so I just clock in…do my work…[and] go home.'”

KFC Canada’s creative director responded to the backlash on Friday (Aug. 25), apologizing for “not being more thoughtful.” “My earlier post didn’t capture the full diversity of our latest campaign, and I personally apologize for not being more thoughtful in my excitement to share the campaign and only sharing certain photos,” he xweeted. “Here is the 60-second spot that is more representative of Canada’s diversity and our creative.”

However, that apology wasn’t enough for some. “You being the Director of Marketing,” another person expressed. “Sharing multiple gigantic billboards with black folks eating fried chicken licking their fingers is simply not it. No matter how diverse you feel this ad is.”

WATTPoulty: Sorry, utensils: KFC Canada’s chicken doesn’t need you.

Set to the instantly recognizable Air Supply’s “All Out of Love,” the campaign showcases people eating some of the brand’s most popular food by hand and issues a heartfelt apology to the abandoned spoons and forks.

“You can’t help but go all in and dig in, no utensils needed, with food so good you can’t help but lick your fingers.”

ERRRMMAAAGAAWWWWD! People in an ad who are black eating chicken without using utensils? When do the International Criminal Court Trials start at The Hague?

One: I don't know what Black Twitter is. I'm guessing Twitter accounts written by black people or people who identify as black. 

Two: You've already lost me as a potential consumer on whatever your message is if you're using Air Supply's "All Out of Love." Were the musical rights to "Seasons In The Sun" unavailable? I never liked "All Out of Love". It's a lame song for cucks or incels. Fucking Air Supply. 🤣 

Here's the LINK, (I'll never run any Air Supply song on this blog) to the "All Out of Love" apology ad, with a vibrant mix and diversity of people eating chiggun but not using utensils. The Horror! The Obscenity of it All.
