Thus Far

Excerpt from a story I am working on: “Red Jewel”

Thus far Red Jewel had held out admirably. Thus far she had not been challenged. Thus far Red Jewel had only had to run before the wind so thus far she had not experienced the stresses and the pounding of a beat, or a close reach. Thus far the weather had been forgiving: a moderate breeze at its worst. Thus far the seas were relatively benign. Thus far her sails were intact, her decks whole, her hull’s integrity was sound. Her only flaw, thus far, was that she had a tired look about her.

Thus far everything was working: engine, electrical, lights, radio, stove, running rigging, the whole suite of things. Nigel was in his element. Navigation was exemplary, as he knew it would be. Jim was gaining confidence by the day or so it seemed. He had mastered the knots, the compass, steering, well, the day to day husbandry of Red Jewel. His navigation skills were improving. He was beginning to feel a forth-righteousness that surprised even him. He was knowledgeable enough and not afraid to debate boat management decisions with Nigel…like the Majuro water question. Nigel’s outbursts toward him, his character and his intellect were less robust than they had been. The same couldn’t be said of Red Jewel and Sid. Nigel was unrelenting in his toxicity toward Red Jewel and her condition. It was a condition that he felt Sid had not addressed adequately and they were at risk. Or perhaps he was angry at his own carelessness in dealing with Sid and his boat. “What had it been called again?” He thought to himself. “Oh yeah, Kurofune: The Black Ship.” In Nigel’s mind it certainly was an appropriate name and the thought of that darkened his soul. It scared him.

Jim was acutely mindful of Nigel’s negative rants toward Red Jewel and he was uncomfortable with them. Acquiring a mariner’s superstition, Jim felt that Nigel’s rants were bad medicine and could only spell danger for them both. After every rant or outburst Jim would attempt to placate Red Jewel in kindness and encouragement with emotional rectitude.

“You’ve had too much sun.” Nigel would chastise Jim on these occasions.

“Perhaps, but I wish you would stop your rants Nigel. There is nothing wrong with Red Jewel. She has performed well enough thus far.”

Nigel looked at Jim, askance; a smirk came across his face

“Hmm, perhaps.”

Yes she had…thus far, but that was about to change.

If con is the opposite of Pro,

Total Control

Totalitarian Who?

He spoke with a senior advisor to one of the provincial parties, who told him that COVID policy is “driven by nothing but opinion polls” related to the popularity of the government.”Policy is being driven by people who are more afraid than they should be,”

But…but…it’s for the common good (Eugenicists, Nazi Germany)
“I find that extremely disheartening… I thought, at least, policies that I don’t agree with, the restrictive policies, were at least driven by something remotely resembling a scientifically informed plan, and [the senior advisor] was irate at what had been happening. Enough to consider resigning.
“how rapidly we have stampeded to imitated totalitarian state in the immediate aftermath of the release of COVID, and particularly “the breakdown of our rights for mobility, for freedom of speech.”
“Canadians that are unvaccinated cannot leave the country… like, What the hell, why is that?” …I got vaccinated, people took me to task [for not being vaccinated,] so I thought ‘alright I’ll get the damn vaccine: Here’s the deal guys, I get the vaccine, you f*cking leave me alone. and did that work? No! So stupid me.” 
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (Goebbels)
“That’s how I feel about it. Like, now I have to get tested for COVID when I come back to Canada, and when I leave Canada. The restrictions to get into Canada are even more stringent than the Americans.”
As of now, there is no way for an unvaccinated Canadian to board a flight to leave Canada, even for the purpose of moving. The government of Canada website states that if you’re unable to provide proof of vaccination or a valid COVID-19 test result, you will not be allowed to travel. If you indicate to your airline or railway that you’re eligible to board, but fail to provide proof, you could also face penalties or fines.
Yah…Vol
Love this. Wish I had thought of this….The Fauci Ouchi.

God only knows. He is in Total control.

For a simpler more spiritual time.

Click then click.

For those of you not sure what this means:

Listen closely to what the crowd is chanting.

Breaking news: Scientists now know the cause of obesity:

“EATING”

COP 26 is a cop-out:

True, true, true.

Rules are for thee and not for me:

Trudough? Mask-less and social distancing with all of his COP 26 buddies.

Over 100 private jets will be on the move, ferrying those special people who know how to save the planet. 50 percent of the troubling emissions from planes are from private jets. President Biden is coming too – flying more tens of thousands of miles in the vast hulk that is Air Force 1, to mumble some more about cutting carbon emissions. Those attending Cop26 from around the world face no vaccine requirements and need no vaccine passports.

Two vast cruise ships are moored on the River Clyde to house thousands of the staff that will run around after the tens of thousands of delegates. Power aboard will be provided by keeping their diesel engines turning, burning uncounted thousands of gallons of dirty old diesel for the duration of their stay.

But it’s not about what they say it’s about.

We the people need constant reminding, apparently, that the world is in a dreadful mess, and that that mess is all our fault. And now we must marvel at those special people, to whom rules do not apply, and who have come to save us from ourselves.

I guess I am a right wind fascist bigot and redneck.

If I do not believe this than a right wing bigot, racist and fascist I am.

Gas in California has now hit $7.49 USD a gallon. That is almost 10 bucks Canadian. And it is going to get a lot worse. Why? Because our leaders want to save the planet from ourselves.

Standby for heavy rolling. We are being duped and deceived.

And more from our COP 26 crowd:

“WAKE UP”

Before it’s too late. Vote these bums out before they destroy our way of life.

BTW, who is running Canada anyway? Dear Leader Trudough took some time off from bar hopping in Scotland and the Netherlands, to explain to his loyal media that his government is in talks with Indians in order to get their permission to raise the flags.  Apparently we need their permission because we committed genocide against children or something.

I guess I am a right wing racist bigot because I cannot identify with those above and I am…heaven forgive me….A MAN…and proud of it.

A Russian group covers Chicago. Wow.

Shyte-Hole

Joke of the weak:

“CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) wants to know why young people aren’t watching their programs”

Cause they suck…maybe…just saying.

Watched a CBC show called “The Coroner.” It was diversity, political correctness and virtue signaling on steroids: The Coroner was a single mom raising a gay son whose boyfriend and love interest was an Asian. Her own boyfriend was suffering from PTSD. She suffered from anxiety / panic attacks. Her boss was a highly qualified doctor but a racist old school “pig” and a Christian to boot. The detective that worked with her was Black; the chief of police was an overweight Black woman in a wheelchair and it was filmed in Toronto – the centre of the known diversity universe.

I could not get through the first episode. It was in your face diversity virtue signaling. Highly obvious crap. Not normal. Our CBC at its best.

Hey?

Dem Rep. DeFazio caught on hot mic swearing amid GOP speech: ‘Fu—– a—–‘

Damn!

 

You know the world is in trouble when out leaders listen to and take the word of a savant as gospel:

Greta Thunberg gets a rockstar reception at COP26: Teenage eco-activist arrives by train in Glasgow and is escorted outside by a police guard – as thousands of eco-activists plan to cause chaos at climate summit.

Can’t wait. Go Greta Go.

 

But, but, I thought guns were illegal in Canada?

University VP has extra security on campus after showing solidarity with Indigenous struggle. “linda manyguns” is the associate vice-president of indigenization and decolonization at the university. She is a Blackfoot woman, born on the Tsuut’ina Nation and registered at Siksika Nation in southern Alberta.

In July, manyguns announced she would be using only lower-case letters for her name, in addition to not using capital letters except to acknowledge the Indigenous struggle for recognition and the faact that she has to turn in her many guns. And she can’t spell.

How do you spell leftist? S…H…I…T…H…O…L…E
