They're ALL Free - (and Health Insurance is about to skin you ALIVE FINANCIALLY!- CL)!

 Gee, who'd have figured?

This analysis of preliminary rate filings submitted by 105 ACA Marketplace insurers in 19 states and DC finds that ACA Marketplace insurers are requesting a median premium increase of 15% for 2026, which would represent the largest hike in premiums since 2018, the last time policy uncertainty contributed to sharp premium growth.

Note that the expiration of the "enhanced" premium tax credits mean that for many people their premiums would not just double, they might rise by a factor of TEN or more, especially older people not yet eligible for Medicare.

This is the very nature of forcing someone else to pay your bill: The entire system delivering whatever it is becomes convinced (and will lobby) for it being "essential" and you will also get drunk on it, as I've pointed out with my beer and single-malt example.

Yes, I'm one of the people who will face either (1) shutting down all economic activity so as to remain within the limit for the credit, (2) paying a ridiculous amount of money for something that is both very unlikely to be of any value at all and of limited value if a disaster happens or (3) running naked.

You could decide, since 20% of the population is in this sector (health care generally) that you will shun them in all respects, including their children, spouses and everyone else in their family line such that they are forced to live as hermits if they keep scamming as they have for the last three decades -- but you won't, just as you haven't.  I've pointed out that this is an entirely-legal means of putting a stop to this **** -- Eliquis for $7,000 a year when its $700 in Germany and $60 for 100 pills in India -- neither of which is sold at a loss.

But since you refused to do that because "oh that's my son / daughter / wife / husband / kid / bestie / whatever" and so now here you are about to get financially raped up the ass.

AGAIN......

.....Oh, and one final point -- Chief on Friday said "we need an organization for this to work."  No we don't.  Not only don't we need one if one shows up it will be used to screw you further because as soon as it shows viability it will be co-opted exactly as was the Tea Party.  Remember that I was involved at its initiation in NW Florida and watched it get coopted within months; by the time the first year had rolled past it was all "Guns, Gays and God" and not a single word about what the acronym actually meant: TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.

The leadership will either be bought off or blackmailed (what do you think Epstein was really about?) thus neutered and you will have wasted your time again, never mind waiting for that which will not come after you expend your time, funds or both.

That's why you have to start with you, personally, even if it comes with cost -- and it will -- (e.g. your so-called "friends" who you call that but have been raping you up the ass financially for a decade or more), and tell every person when you do stick up the middle finger or say "Check please!" in the bar or restaurant when one of those dickheads appears in the same place every single time and are challenged on it why you're doing it -- and that you're not going to stop until they stop, with finality, financially raping you.

Shunning people to the point they cannot set foot in a public place without facing either a middle finger or you vacating the premises and denying any merchant who happens to be caught in the middle your funds is legal, there's not a damned thing anyone can do to force you to stop and just as cowardice is contagious so is courage.

I've been doing this now for over a decade.  "Check please!" is not hard.  Nor is getting up out up out of the pew and moving to the other side of the church -- or walking out the door.  Nor is giving the middle finger to politicians, employees of these firms and their families.  Nor is refusing to in any way consider them anything at all other than to be avoided in all respects as social pariahs.  The Amish have done it forever and yes, one person will not change the world -- but one can lead to two, two to four and so on which can and will change the world.

IF it starts with you.

Right now, and today.

Because if you don't then either you or they will play the "they're all free" card as that's all that will remain available.

How The Phrase 'All Men' Has Been Misused To Promote False Universalism In The Bible - Christians for Truth

Full text: https://christiansfortruth.com/how-the-phrase-all-men-has-been-misused-to-promote-false-universalism-in-the-bible/ 


Conclusion

There are other examples in the New Testament — not to mention the many examples in the Old Testament — showing that “all” or “all men” does not literally mean everyone. This shows the erroneous results from a literal and universal interpretation.

The Demise of Western Law Dates from the Nuremberg Trials

 ....Until I read some years ago David Irving’s book, Nuremberg, I was a great admirer of Robert Jackson.  I still am for his previous positions, but he blew it at Nuremberg.

World War II was a disaster for many reasons still unrecognized. The victims were not only the millions of lives, the destruction of economies, the loss of European countries’ national confidence and sovereignty, but also truth and justice as values that must be defended.  

At Nuremberg the British, Americans, and Soviets, who had committed worst war crimes than the Germans, sat, immune from accountability, in judgment. “The winners write the histories” and hold he trials.

As David Irving documents in his histories, Churchill’s War and Hitler’s War, Hitler regarded the bombing of civilian cities as a war crime. When Churchill kept secret from his cabinet Hitler’s generous offer of peace, which included Germany’s promise to use its military power in defense of the British Empire, which Hitler regarded as essential to the continuation of vastly outnumbered white ethnicities, Churchill kept the document secret from the British Parliament and ordered the British air force  to commence bombing civilian German residential neighborhoods. 

Churchill ordered that the air force focus on workers’ housing, because it was closer together and the fires would spread quicker.  He ordered that first the British bombers use incendiary  bombs, then when the fire trucks showed up to again hit with high explosives.  He ordered that the British air force add poison gas to the bombs.  At this point, the Air Force high command, already concerned about war crimes, flatly refused......

.....You can find the documentation in Irvings’ World War II histories and in John Wear’s books reproduced on my web sites.  Ron Unz of the Unz Review has also written extensively about the true story of World War II, one most people have never heard.

As far as I can tell, there are only three historians of World War II who are not court historians regurgitating the official war propaganda.  One is A.P.J. Taylor, who saw the hypocrisy of the court historians, but did not have the documentary resources that David Irving spent 50 years hunting down and forcing out of official files, hunting down and reading diaries and interviewing survivors.  John Wear is the third.

If you want to know the truth about World War II, you can only find it in these few writers, especially David Irvings’ Churchill’s War and Hitler’s War.  On orders from Israel, these books, that once sold in the millions of copies, have been burnt by the threatened and intimidated publisher, and copies are hard to find.

My generation and those following were taught that Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower were moral crusaders who fought against the evil demon Hitler.  Once you read Irving’s histories of World War II–histories based entirely on the OFFICIAL DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE, NOT IRVING’S OPINION–you will wonder who the true evil demons were.  John Wear’s account of Eisenhower’s treatment of German prisoners of war shows the hate-driven barbarity with which German POWs were treated.  No honor of the rules of war here.......

.....Irving’s book is, of course, politically incorrect. However, he lists in the introduction the voluminous files on which the book is based: Robert Jackson’s official papers and Oral History, Francis Biddle’s private papers and diaries, Col. Andrus’ papers, Adm. Raeder’s prison diary, Rudolf Hess’ prison diary, interrogations of the prisoners, interviews with defense counsel, prosecutors, interrogators, and letters from the prisoners to their wives. All of this and more Irving has made available on microfilms for researchers. He compared magnetic tape copies of the original wire-recordings of the trial with the mimeographed and published transcripts to insure that spoken and published words were the same.

What Irving does in his book is to report the story that the documents tell. This story differs from the patriotic propaganda written by court historians with which we are all imbued. The question arises: Is Irving pro-truth or pro-Nazi. The National Socialist government of Germany is the most demonized government in history. Any lessening of the demonization is unacceptable, so Irving is vulnerable to demonization by those determined to protect their cherished beliefs.

Zionists have branded Irving a “holocaust denier,” and he was convicted of something like that by an Austrian court and spent 14 months in prison before the conviction was thrown out by a higher court.

In Nuremberg, Irving removes various propaganda legends from the holocaust story and reports authoritative findings that many of the concentration camp deaths were from typhus and starvation, especially in the final days of the war when food and medicine were disappearing from Germany, but nowhere in the book does he deny, indeed he reports, that vast numbers of Jews perished. As I understand the term, a simple truthful modification of some element of the official holocaust story is sufficient to brand a person a holocaust denier.

My interest in the book is Robert Jackson. He had a noble cause—to outlaw war—but in pursuit of this purpose he established precedents for American prosecutors to make law a weapon in their pursuit of their noble causes just as it was used against Nazis—organized crime convictions, child abuse convictions, drug convictions, terror convictions. Jackson’s pursuit of Nazis at Nuremberg undermined the strictures he put on US attorneys such that today Americans have no more protection of law than the defendants had at Nuremberg.

Life in the Real World - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 Here are my three points about life in the real world for young women:

  • From the time you turn 15, you have ten years to lock down the best man you can possibly attract. Your options will continue to get worse every year after 25.

  • Every man with whom you are involved in any romantic way prior to marriage will detract from your perceived value to varying degrees. The amount it detracts varies based on a) his quality and b) your behavior.

  • Men don’t think like you do so don’t project your own thoughts and feelings onto them. They don't care at all about education or career credentials. And their attraction to you is not increased by knowing that other men are too.

Those are the rules of reality. Play accordingly.

It only seems fair to offer three points to young men as well.....

We Need To Get Women Out Of Men’s Spaces (And the fact that we even need to explain this tells us where we are! - CL)

 Policing is a man’s profession. So is soldiering, and commercial fishing, and underwater welding, and so on. That’s not to say women shouldn’t be able to serve in clerical roles in a police force or in the military, but they have no business leading police departments or being deployed into combat areas.....

This is, or should be, a commonplace observation. But ever since the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the rise of feminism, we’re all supposed to pretend that women can do any job that men can do. What nonsense.

Full text:
https://thefederalist.com/2025/07/31/we-need-to-get-women-out-of-mens-spaces/ 

....There should be zero female police chiefs in this country, just as there should be zero female generals in the U.S. military and zero female fire chiefs. The recent Los Angeles fires, and the abject failure of the lesbian-led L.A. Fire Department, were a case study in the left’s rejection of reality for woke ideology. If you can’t carry an adult man out of a burning building, you have no business being a firefighter, let alone running a major fire department.

Put simply, these are jobs for men — not just because men are better at them and more inclined to pursue them as careers, but because the purpose of those jobs is to protect and defend, which are tasks proper to men, not women.

And here we get to the heart of the problem, which is that having female police officers at all, let alone police chiefs, is an affront to reality. The only reason we do it is because feminist ideology has infected public life in this country. Fixing this problem will mean rejecting the sexual revolution wholesale and returning to the undeniable and very simple reality that some jobs are for men and some are for women because men and women are different.

Good Works and Salvation (part one) - by bionic mosquito

 The Christian life is not merely an intellectual life.

And then, this warning:

Matthew 7: 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Which would then exclude those who do not do the will of the Father.

Conclusion

OK, one quote for now, taken from Liberati:

Augustine: “Good works do not precede them that are to be justified, but follow them that are justified.”

We cannot do good works before justification. The will of the Father is that we do good works. If good works do not follow justification, then it seems one is not justified.

In the second part of this examination, I will offer a look at several quotes taken from the essay by Liberati.

Bearing The Sword: Romans 13 & Resistance to Tyranny (Part II)

In the first part of this series we dissected the increasingly popular but errant misreading of Romans 13 and its complementary passage, 1st Peter 2 — a misreading which has served as a theological bulwark for cowards and collaborators alike. We have demonstrated, line by line, that the Apostles do not advocate for unconditional subservience to the civil authorities. Rather, they outline the moral terms under which civil authority is to be obeyed. In this concluding essay, we will trace this understanding through redemptive history and the testimony of the Church, showing that godly resistance to tyranny is not only permitted — it is often required.

There are few passages in Scripture more damning of this insidious form of political idolatry than Psalm 94 (emphasis mine):

20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

— Psalm 94:20-21 KJV

As the rest of the Psalm elucidates for us, verse twenty is a rhetorical question in which the answer is an emphatic NO. Indeed, it is a particularly sanctimonious kind of villain that walks into a courtroom with polished shoes and statute in hand, ready to despoil the innocent. What the Psalmist plainly describes here is wickedness not in spite of human laws, but through them. Indeed, wicked rulers have ever sought to codify their evils into the so called law (which, as we have discussed previously, is truly no law at all.)

Now a comprehensive theology of government — its purpose, scope, and proper function — is a vast and worthy endeavor. It lies, in some respects, beyond the immediate frame of this essay. Yet we must establish at least one immovable premise upon which all legitimate government rests: that is, that the protection of the innocent is the core and non-negotiable duty of the magistrate. Strip that away, and its legitimacy crumbles.

Hedonism's Hell - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 https://sigmagame.substack.com/p/hedonisms-hell?publication_id=2265630&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=y7h5a&utm_medium=email 


The sexual imbalance of society, where the Alphas get as many women as the bottom 50 percent of the entire male population, comes at a severe price to men and women alike. And this imbalance also harms society as a whole, and significantly reduces its chances of maintaining itself, let alone thriving, as the collapse of marriage and fertility rates have conclusively demonstrated.

One of the great successes of medieval Christendom was the imposition of Christian monogamy, thereby ensuring access to wives and children for most of the Deltas. This was the basis of the highly productive middle classes that elevated the standard of living for everyone. And while the Alphas did not abide strictly to the rules, their ability to run rampant throughout the female population was heavily restricted by the societal norms limiting the freedom of young women to easily accommodate them.

There are two solutions. One is to try to convince Alphas not to behave in the manner that Alphas have always behaved. This is not going to work, especially because the costs to them are virtually nonexistent while the benefits are immediate and material. Even the use of law and force is not an option, because Alphas are not easily restrained by their social inferiors, at least not in an open and direct manner.

The other is to return to traditional restrictions on the ability of young women to engage in their favorite pastime of Alpha-chasing. This is the only solution that has any realistic chance of succeeding, but due to the weakness of low-status men and their allergy to female accountability, it is going to have to be driven by a combination of far-sighted Alphas and older, wiser women who are capable of resisting their natural inclination toward solipsistic projection.

The woman’s essay demonstrates that she understands the price she has paid for her feministic behavioral freedom, but does not extend to the full rejection of feminism and equality that is necessary.

Which is why I am dubious about there being any likelihood of a significant societal transformation of the observed sexual imbalance and its dyscivic consequences without some combination of collapse and/or conquest.

Used for Nothing: The True Legacy of Feminism

 https://thefeministturnedhousewife.substack.com/p/used-for-nothing-the-true-legacy 


There is a cost to sexual “freedom.” And it is almost always paid by the woman.

I don’t want another girl to pay that price. I don’t want her to mistake attraction for love, attention for affection, sex for worth. I don’t want her to believe that giving her body is how she earns commitment. Because it’s not. Commitment should come first. That is the ancient pattern. That is the protective order that has always existed. Because women are the ones who get pregnant. Women are the ones whose hearts are most deeply tied to intimacy. Women are the ones who were meant to be pursued, honored, cherished.

What we’ve created instead is a world where girls sleep with men they barely know. A world where validation comes from likes and OnlyFans tips and half-dressed photos. A world where sexuality is loud, constant, and empty. And we’re all just here pretending it’s fine.

But it’s not fine. It’s not working. And I think deep down, every woman knows that.

And I will keep saying it, for every girl who has ever cried herself to sleep not knowing why. For every woman who gave away something precious because no one told her it was precious. For every soul that aches without understanding the root of the wound.

This isn’t freedom, this isn’t peace, this isn’t what you are worth.

It’s famine.

And it’s time we told the truth.

Europe's Coming Lost Decades - Vox Popoli

IT SEEMS THAT HORSE DEWORMER DRUG IS MORE LIKE A MIRACLE DRUG – The Burning Platform

Ivermectin’s Effects On Neurological Disease:

1. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: A 2023 study published in Inflammation demonstrated that ivermectin mitigates neuroinflammatory damage in encephalomyelitis. Ivermectin reduced inflammatory cytokines.
2. Stabilizes Neurotransmission: A 2019 study in PLOS Pathogens found that ivermectin restores balance in synaptic neuro pathways.
3. Cholinergic Transmission: A 2024 study published in Cell & Bioscience reported that ivermectin increased activity of striatal cholinergic interneurons, enhancing dopamine release via nicotinic receptor modulation.

Conclusion:
Ivermectin is emerging as more than an antiparasitic agent. Its anti-inflammatory, synaptic & cholinergic effects are beneficial in neurodegenerative disorders like Dementia, Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s.

Dosages suggested by Dr William Makis:

Parkinson’s: Patients on high-dose ivermectin (60-72mg) saw dramatic improvements in movement & symptoms.
– Multiple cases of symptom reversal—where tremors, stiffness & rigidity significantly improved.

Alzheimer’s: Patients on low-dose ivermectin (12-24 mg for 4-5 days) brought back memories, recognition & cognitive function in patients.

Why Isn’t This Everywhere?
– A preclinical Alzheimer’s study proving ivermectin’s healing ability was SCRUBBED from Google.
– Big Pharma doesn’t profit from a safe, cheap, Nobel Prize-winning drug that reverses neurodegeneration.

This isn’t theoretical—it’s happening NOW in real patients. Decades of suffering could be reversed by a few pills.

If you have a loved one with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s—TRY IT. The results could be LIFE-CHANGING.

Survey Finds 70% Of Jews Base Their Jewish Identity On Belief In The Fictional Holocaust - Christians for Truth

 (Tabletmag.com) An article entitled “American Jews Must Stop Obsessing Over the Holocaust” appeared in the Jewish publication — Tablet Magazine — which raised red flags for a rabbi because it revealed that 73% of Jews in America based their entire Jewish identity on their belief in the “Holocaust”.

We have edited the original essay here for brevity — as it is very repetitious — but the thesis is simple — that assimilated Jews in America rely too heavily on the “Holocaust” as the basis of their Jewish Identity — and that they need something more substantial to maintain a legitimate identity, which ideally would be a return to the “covenantal” relationship with their “god”

Judaism is not the faith of the ancient Hebrews — rather it arose after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ sometime around 200 AD — and was based entirely in reaction to — and the rejection of Jesus Christ and Christianity — which is evident in the anti-Christ nature of their “holy” book, the Babylonian Talmud.

Not surprisingly, “rejection of Jesus Christ” was not one of the options given to Jews in the 2013 Pew Research Poll “A Portrait of Jewish Americans” on which Neusner’s comments were based — for if it had been included, we would have seen the true nature of Jewish identity — and what truly motivates them:

“The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged.”

–Al Goldstein, jewish pornographer and publisher of Screw magazine

Aside from that glaring omission, the most obvious problem for Jews who base their jewish identity on the “Holocaust” is that it is a myth — it never happened — and even many Jews have gone public and admitted that it is a fraud. See:

Why Are So Many Jews Denying the Holocaust?
