As the blogmaster is typing he is witnessing a scene in the US Capitol akin to what is associated in countries often described as banana republics. It is impossible to find the words to accurately describe events which have caused the ceremonial event of the Electoral College to be suspended as members scatter to preserve life and limb.

‘It gets better and better! Just saw a video where Trump promised to be walking right alongside them to the Capitol!
And then he went back to the White House!’
That’s not fair. His bone spurs began acting up and stopped him from walking.
‘Murdaaaah!’
He is really a coward.

Are you a paranoid schizoid or just a simply plain ole hypocrite of the Pharisee garden variety?
One minute you prophesy that what is going on in America is simply what has been recorded in the OT section of your book of myths while, with the ‘seconds’ hand, you want to control the hourly hand of destiny by supporting the actions of the white supremacists thugs to keep the madman as their president because your white god has put him there to carry out some god -ordained duties.
Since you are now your ‘own’ self-appointed BU soothsayer and the anti-Christ to our own “Piece de Prophet” why can’t you predict which is going to come first between your own death (mortal rupture) and that of the soon coming Rapture?
It is going to be rather interesting in the coming days to hear what both you and the other back-row Johnny Knox are going to say now that your idol has agreed to depart the W H in ‘belated’ peace and not ‘prophesied’ pieces.
@Critical
I am telling you how it works and what I have observed over 45 years in the trade. I have worked as an editor and can count on one hand the number of times I have spoken to an advertiser, or even attended the same social events.
If that is your belief do not let me change your mind. I can remember being at a drinks party with a major fund manager who told me they had just signed a £500000 advertising contract with my publication. I thanked him and moved on.
Think seriously about it. Would any self-respecting journalist be happy with an advertiser or publisher telling them what to write and how to write it?
Newspapers are aimed at certain readers, advertisers target those readers and so advertise with those publications. From what you have said above, you have no idea of how the media work. But, stick to your idea.
By the way, name a single publication that allows advertisers to tell it what to publish (I do not mean Barbadian publications).
Uh-oh! BBC reports that Xi is looking at how he can use what happened yesterday.

The real countdown is the diminishing of his power.
@David January 7, 2021 7:10 AM
Trump always had options but I think his own political advisers were selling him out and giving him bad advise.
From the time that thing with the Texas lawsuit dismissal happened and he was unable to get into any court to present any evidence and subpoenas to examine ballots and machines were blocked, he should have realized his only option was to invoke the national broadcast system and do a national presentation and put all the facts out in the open and let the public decide if he was lying or not but it would have forced the hands of the authorities in the various states to do a proper investigation.
The politicians saw their power and influence waning so they were doing everything to return to the status quo. Everyone complains about how corrupt things are but they are happy to let things continue because they are not affected.
@CA
It doesn’t matter. He had eyes, he could see the results from his actions. He had the opportunity yesterday for example to correctly advise his supporters. He did not have to issue the call to action that provoked them in the first place etc etc etc.
@David January 7, 2021 7:22 AM
A few proverbs and poems to always remember.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Evil triumphs when good men sit idly by and do nothing.
When the freedom of speak and be challenged is curtailed, suppressed and censored, it is the beginning of the end because crime and evil flourishes in the dark away from the light.
You don’t lose your freedom overnight. It is gradually eaten away over time and before you know it, you don’t know remember when things changed.
Cannot disagree with this comment except to say in all things we must be honest and true to self.

The so-called United States of Christianized America is now in no position to advise the so-called communist Chinese (to whom it is fast ceding its ‘empire’ of hegemony) on human rights or lecture them on any ‘feigned morality’ in politics.
@David January 7, 2021 7:39 AM
You are so right.
Yesterday was the last day for him to act, he took a huge risk with the support march trusting everyone to behave well when there is was so much pent up angst at the election process.
Everything from here on in is totally out of Trump’s hands unless he goes and declassifies some sort of seriously incriminating evidence.
It is now up to the legislators when they reconvene to see if they will launch a full investigation but that will come to nought because they will get pressure to squash things and go back to the status quo and try to fix it so they can win power back in the mid terms and maybe impeach Kamala cause I don’t see Biden lasting a year in office.

Media got a bad rep with white folks when they promoted multiculturalism.
Trump was just one of them who wanted to treat 44th PotUS as a non-PotUS and concentrated his policies on undoing the Black+White PotUS’ works.
Blacks have been saying for years since Windrush that press reflected the racist society with a bias against blacks.
You are anti-multiculturalism outspoken with bias and prejudice against other ethnicities, this was possibly why you were promoted by White bosses as you were a Yes man willing to toe their line.
This is just an observation not a provocation for an internet battle.
Chuck D from Public Enemy once said rap music was the Black CNN. Rap music is the art of storytelling used by the African Griot.

Curious about “impeach Kamala cause I don’t see Biden lasting a year in office”

@TheOGazerts
I don’t think Biden’s health is all together there so I see Kamala taking the reins either in secret or by the 25th ammendment if he gets bad enough.
Round 2 will be in two years at the mid term elections where they will make sure all fraud comes to light so they can use that to take the Congress and Senate back.
Once they have those back, they will launch full investigations into the elections and use that as a push to get a republican president elected in the next presidential term.
That is how I see the next 4 years playing out. Republicans know it was stolen but they are willing to look the other way to kill the populist movement and they will use that time to make sure it does not happen the next time.
@Critical Analyzer January 7, 2021 7:44 AM
“First they came for the Jews”
Trump calls neo-Nazis ‘nice people’ and invites notorious anti semites to his side, Robert Jeffress and John Hagee, while he signed an executive order supposedly to fight anti-Semitism. These are right wing crazies who preach that all Jewish people are damned to eternal hell and that Hitler as a “hunter” sent by God to kill Jews.
“Then they came for the Communists”
Trump has based his entire political career on invoking the spectre of communism as a way of attacking any idea which actually helps working class people. as recently as September 23 2020 while at a White House ceremony honoring veterans of failed invasions of Cuba, Trump emphasised that his fight in the upcoming election was a fight against communism in America.
“Then they came for the trade unionists”
The Trump administration has an unbroken 4 year record of attacking trade unions by making it easier for employers to manipulate and change the bargaining unit sought by employees, by implemented provisions in a “representation case procedures rule” that will make union elections take longer and be more likely to involve unnecessary litigation, and by making it more difficult for workers to exercise their right to elect union representation.
So you can clearly see @Critical Analyser, that Martin Niemöller was warning you specifically about the dangers posed by fascists like Donald Trump.

The Republicans have done potentially irreparable harm to its brand because of Trump and his enabelers re Cruz, Hawley et al.
“Everything from here on in is totally out of Trump’s hands unless he goes and declassifies some sort of seriously incriminating evidence.”
E.P. Heidner aka Jeff Prager of an ex-Naval Intelligence Officer who now works for Trump-U with Candace Owens and wrote a thesis hypothesis on 911 called “Murdering Liberty Killing Hope: When Psychopaths Rule The World”. His works seem to be an outside job, (not an whistle blowers inside job), which scoured the net for all information about 911 to make his conclusions.
It was popular with rightwing conspiracy theorists and even anti-war left wingers, but alleged actions of USA’s Secret Government were linked with Israel’s regarding top secret drone development and usage allegedly on 11th September 2001 and in the subsequent wars that followed. Trump is a top notch Conspiracy theorist, but probably cannot declassify any incriminating evidence 19 years after the event to protect National Security bollocks.

“Republicans know it was stolen but they are willing to look the other way…”
+++++++++++++++
The only people who think that the November election was “stolen” are either morons or liars. I know that John and GP are not actually stupid enough to believe the nonsense that they post here on BU, they are simply malicious liars who get a kick out of being evil.
@Critical Analyzer you posted at 7:32 AM that “Trump […] was unable to get into any court to present any evidence…” but you must know that is a lie. It is very common knowledge that Trump was able “get into […] court” many dozens of times and filed over 60 lawsuits to contest the election results and they have all failed, mostly in front of conservative Republican judges right up to the Supreme Court, because the ‘evidence’ Trump has is a sorry and pathetic compilation of lies, fabrications and utter nonsense. Trumps own judges laughed it out of court every single time.
So I cannot bring myself to believe that you are actually stupid enough to believe Trump, so I have no alternative but to conclude that you are as evil as Trump is.
Three of the justices at the SCOTUS were appointed by Trump.

Trump will never concede the election which was so obviously stolen.

Trump never got a day in court to present any of his evidence. All judges found some excuse not to hear the case. Name one case the Trump Lawyers submitted that was heard.
Rightly so, judges were too scared to set any sort of legal precedent by hearing the evidence and judging it on its merits or ordering full investigations take months which they did not have. Even the few subpoenas issued were flaunted and ignored or stalled with delay tactics.
I am not believing one way or the other but everyone having a grievance deserves their day in court to be present their case and be judged.
Due process was denied and that is where the true travesty is and where this world is headed very fast.
Anyone disagrees with your opinion or idea, block them, ridicule them or otherwise prevent them from presenting their argument and information because you don’t want to have to defend your position and have a proper debate of the issues.
“Trump always said he would acknowledge the results of the electoral college” and then he sent his thugs to stop the results from being acknowledged!
You floating pile of stinking shit! You won’t flush at all, at all!
After Laughter (Comes Tears), Where Do We Go From Here, Tearz
John and GP were laughing so much, (how the raggedly lumpenproletariat of the underground (barbados bridgetown chapter) would cry when Trump won a second term as ordained by GOD in verses about KINGS and shit that they must be true,
that they fell off their chairs and wet their pants. But every dog has it’s morning and every puss has it’s evening or so they say.
But at least the Trump haters are magnanimous in victory of good over evil and would never take the piss out of two sad old men who may be older but most certainly are not wiser than the youth of today. Say nay to evil and yay to righteousness is what they say. At least the Trump haters use their own mind and don’t cut and paste crap ideas like they are cleverer.
So….the white trash trashed the place. Looking here at the damage.
True true fact, Trumps said since 27th November he would observe the result of the electoral college.
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/26/politics/trump-leave-office-electoral-college/index.html
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said for the first time Thursday he will leave office if the Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden but made clear he’s not prepared to concede.
“Certainly I will, and you know that,” Trump said when asked by a reporter about leaving the White House if Biden is declared the winner on December 14. “I will and, you know that.”
“It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud,” Trump said without evidence.
“As to whether or not we can get this apparatus moving quickly — because time isn’t on our side, everything else is on our side, facts are on our side, this was a massive fraud.”
The President falsely added that if Biden is declared the winner, the Electoral College, “made a mistake, cause this election was a fraud.” Pressed on his comments, Trump snapped at the reporter. “Don’t talk to me that way. I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way,” he said.
Fraud hangs over Biden’s head.
The count up to the day when it is finally exposed can start.
My happen before 20th January, may not.
But it will happen!!
It is only going to get worser as the swamp will be furiously involved in the coverup.
But because of the scale of the fraud, one Stacey Abrahams can’t eat all the evidence.
It is going to come out!!
You may find Trump ends up with three terms!!
To me the situation is very simple. When Trump won the elections the system was the greatest system ever. He spoke glowingly about the U.S electoral system and said that although he lost the popular vote, that ” we must honour a system on which our democracy was built.”
Now fast forward to 2020 and what do we have? Using the same system trump praised he now lost both the electoral college vote and the popular vote by millions of votes. Suddenly now the system is corrupt!
Also kindly remeber that in the past any losing president had the right to challenge the ” great American system” so why didn’t they? Why did George Bush make the Obama transition so seamless for him? Why did Obama also do the same for Trump? I will tell you why and it’s because both those presidents put country before self. Trump’s egomaniac behaviour just could not accept the fact that he is a LOSER. After all that is the word he throws in the face of many he looks down on, how could he now be one of the few U.S presidents only to be given a single term? How could this happen to The Great Donald Trump?
I have no doubt we will see more unrest right up to and after when Trump leaves the Whitehouse. His followers will show their true colours again for all to see. In the meantime the USA will be the laughing stock for many.

Landmark Publication on Vitamin C for COVID-19
By Dr. Mercola
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
While health authorities and mainstream media have ignored, if not outright opposed, the use of vitamin C and other supplements in the treatment of COVID-19, citing lack of clinical evidence, a landmark review recommends the use of vitamin C as an adjunctive therapy for respiratory infections, sepsis and COVID-19
According to the authors, “Vitamin C’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects make it a potential therapeutic candidate, both for the prevention and amelioration of COVID-19 infection, and as an adjunctive therapy in the critical care of COVID-19”
Oral vitamin C at doses of 2 to 8 grams a day have been shown to reduce the incidence and duration of respiratory infections
Intravenous vitamin C at 6 to 24 grams a day has been shown to reduce mortality, ICU admission rates, hospital stays and time on mechanical ventilation in patients with severe respiratory infections (My emphasis /GM)
An international vitamin C campaign has been launched in response to the landmark review
SNIP
Verkerk notes:14
“Taking vitamin C as a preventative and then, upping your intake if you’re infected, is a no brainer. So is using vitamin C intravenously for those with acute respiratory infections, or sepsis, in critical care.
So much so, that we argue — given the now available evidence — that doctors and other health professionals who avoid recommendations on vitamin C in relation to COVID disease prevention and treatment, should be considered medically negligent … (My Emphasis /GM)
There is ample evidence to show that supplements like zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D can help prevent and treat COVID-19, but we’re prevented from learning about these benefits by the federal government.
Because supplements are not, and can never become, FDA-approved, they cannot claim to have an impact on disease, even when we know they can. This nonsense has to stop.”

You are now living in la la land. Trump officially lost yesterday because he refused to use all the avenues available to him and now has no more options.
Trump fumbled his last and biggest play by going with a rally march when that had no chance of swaying the decision makers.
He had it to win and messed up so now he has to either declassify information and bring down the corrupt individuals with the scandal before they come after him or hold onto the information and use it to protect himself and his family when they come after him after he leaves office.

There were also (for a fact) the early movers and shakers responsible for the establishment and management of the institution called black chattel slavery in Barbadoes.
