Note: After writing this, I have to buy dog food (to keep animals out of the garden) and sunflower seeds, this means dragging one of my Land Cruisers out and loading up the dogs.
Otherwise, I am “bikes only.” Rode up to Pentwater two days ago in the cold. Getting old for riding in cold weather with a t-shirt and sandals. I never learn.
Before reading this, take this advice, and I hope you were “there” already:
Stay off the internet. No politics. Drop anyone around you that remotely mentions Trump or watches Fox News. The joy of Biden is that you don’t notice him. YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO.
It’s all fake anyway. Read on:
Deaths are finally starting to go down but we are still spending billions, taxpayer cash, running up health care costs and still trashing our economy over the un-vaccinated.
The solution?
Issuing vaccine passports would be like Bush/Trump and gang did with surveillance and persecution through DHS, crooked cops and Barr’s DOJ against millions of Americans…if you didn’t know.
First of all, you get COVID, you pay cash for care, as COVID 10 in 99.997% of cases, is now an “elected disease.” We are sick of paying bills for COVID folks.
COVID already laid bare the fact that we just don’t do health care anyway. It has always been a scam. Turn on a TV, endless doctor’s shows, all about heart and liver transplants, kidney transplants given out in days. I ride past (motorcycle) the same home, two years now, a sign on the lawn for their CHILD waiting for a kidney.
This year I lost one child needing a transplant which could only be made available by the Cleveland Clinic if I could donate cash, $500k wasn’t enough. One thing to note, doctor’s from South Asia flock to the US, many are among the best in the world but others only treat the very rich or shake down patients for big payoffs.
Many of the big clinics in the US are endlessly corrupt.
Beyond that. OK, you’ve got me started. The only way to get a pain prescription is to go to a “pain clinic,” which often sell prescriptions to addicts, more South Asia doctors of course.
People in real pain are told to take aspirin and ibuprofen because the DEA has their doctors terrorized for even writing useless Vicodin scripts…a very poor pain killer. Then, of course, the aspirin and ibuprofen destroy organs, kidney failure…etc…and a transplant or dialysis is needed. Transplants go to Saudi princes, hedge fund managers or children of criminal elites only.
Even then, one friend, married to the daughter of a Saudi prince, took his wife to the Cleveland Clinic for cancer treatment. Millions were spent and, when reviewed, the treatment wasn’t equal to what the French, British or Canadian’s give for free.
This was before COVID.
I look at my own medical care, a mix of a couple of outstanding people who work like dogs and make good money, skills and dedication. Then I look at others, greedy, lazy, judgmental and of grossly inferior capability.
In almost every turn, PA’s and Nurse Practitioners are more competent and thorough than crazy/lazy doctors.
And what did we do with these nurses? One daughter spent the last year plus in a COVID ICU. She and those she works with went through ten Vietnams.
Other things we note…that many medical facilities in the US, is it most…give lower quality care to minorities, much lower. It wasn’t talked about until COVID and nobody writes about it.
Many “foreign” doctors and nurses come from cultures that are purely racist.
And then, now we know, up to 40% of Americans are not just whatever “racist” is….and racism is a natural human trait…(if I have to explain I will)…but dangerously so, racist, stupid, too stupid to live.
Without harping on the election and Trumpsters, the biggest problem that people I meet are tired of talking about, how utterly clueless, grossly immoral and inhuman so many Americans are.
Beyond this, the disappointment I have with the military and intelligence community. While in West Michigan, and this is a very military oriented area with lots of vets, I run into real combat vets, even surviving Vietnam vets. Combat vets are a very different group than “military retirees” whose military service was invariably in the rear with the gear. Same with intel people. Operational work was done, even years ago, by “contractors” or NOC folks, not career REMF types.
I have never met anyone with TV/film type operational experience at XXX get togethers…and they are all the time.
Over the past few decades, the most dangerous things I have been through have been food poisoning at 4 star hotels and endless checkpoints with armed locals. I do, from time to time, get to slap around French (not really “French”) pickpockets or scare pushy idiots in supermarkets.
Real combat folks never stay in the military. I don’t think the military wants them with rare exceptions. By combat, I mean watch the film “Gettysburg.” I have a couple of instances of that kind of combat…and it is terror not fun. Even the Vietnam vets are all gone and 99% of them that stayed in the military spent their time in Vietnam many miles from any enemy living in total comfort and reasonable safety. That is the real number.
Then, as years went on, these cowards and assholes strutted around with their fake medals lording over congress and the unwashed…and fake press.
This is why they embraced pedo-Trump. Do remember, this is the military that went full pedo…or was exposed as “full pedo” in 82 with Presidio and the Church of Set. When commanders weren’t screwing the wives of their underlings, they were screwing their kids, then in 3 dozen bases we knew about.
Similarly, the service academies have, for not decades but for much longer, been cult hangouts for Freemasons, satanists and freaks.
Ah, but you know better? How? You saw it on TV or read it on the internet? What do you know? Chances are you know nothing and everything you believe is something fed to you as a fictional narrative, no matter what fake faction you think you belong to.
VT exists to fix that and, over the years, we have admitted to ourselves that not one in a hundred has the mental capacity to deal with reality.
As I get older, a disease in itself, I increasingly deal with my own leftover beliefs and misconceptions, a great embarrassment.
The joy is finding people who live their lives and ignored it all, the really smart ones.
But we don’t hear from them, they aren’t on the internet, they don’t have twitter or facebook accounts.
They exist.
I often wish I had been one of them. And so it goes…

“This year I lost one child needing a transplant which could only be made available by the Cleveland Clinic if I could donate cash, $500k wasn’t enough. ” – GD
This is why I do not sign organ donor cards. No one actually contributes enough to added value to earn (in a moral sense of earn) enough money to have millions of dollars of liquid assets.
“because the DEA has their doctors terrorized for even writing useless Vicodin scripts” – GD
Back in the 1990s the campus clinic would give out a week’s supply of codeine cough syrup to people with a bad cold because it is an excellent cough suppressant – now we have to suffer exhaustion from sleepless nights of coughing since a few privileged ar$ehole junkies got corrupt doctors to write prescriptions to feed their narcotics abuse habits.
“Otherwise, I am ‘bikes only.’” – GD
How does that work? While I have ridden 700+ miles days in below freezing temperatures (wrapped in Cordura covered heated gear – I know from past experience I would get hypothermia and/or frostbite if I tried that in a t-shirt and sandals), I find even my sub 500-pound BMW to really sketchy in snow and impossible on ice.
As for COVID-19 vaccine, weird how it went from being unavailable to a huge surplus so quickly (I finally moved through the queue to get jab #1 a couple of weeks ago).
Hopefully we wont have a problem with prions or else it will be a f’ing zombie apocalypse in eighteen months.
life next to the 911 hijackers, chemical assaults day and night to take away the land trust, beasts from birth to? once the bamboozle starts, it never ends, covid? yeah it theirs’ they created it as a cover operation was always about quantity over quality , sea snakes-world of the strangulated
The USA is not a democracy. I characterize it as a Slobocracy.
At Physical Therapy for my hips I got into a discussion of the 9/11 event with the new therapist.
I had the revelation that there are just two schools regarding that operation; Bernays or Newtons.
With these new hips I’m going to put my 83 XV1200 YAMAHA back on the road. Its therapeutic to experience Newton on a motorized pair of gyroscopes.
Remember we are all Sisyphus. You gotta keep on pushing, but find a way to like it. Albert Camus
Well Mr. Duff,
The best advice about the internet? Shut it off or watch Netflix.
However, big pharma killed my older brother with a vaccine. fact. He was the middle child as I am the youngest and the most coddled by my mother. The oldest? About your age Gordon but is a Draft dodging Trumpian. LOL
I was given a “jab” in grade school and collapsed with a major seizure right after said jab and got mocked by my classmates for keeling over and foaming at the mouth.
Those seizures were passed down to my kids as no one on my side of the family should get any vaccine.
My Green Beret nephew took the covid jab but he is already retarded. What else can I say?
My take on the “jab”? Its a basic intelligence test. Simple.
Mr Duff, the best thing ever for pain is DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). Full stop. Arthritis too. Gone! Comes from processing wood pulp into paper. For sale on Amazon or vets that deal with high end race horses. Most pro sports teams have it on hand. It is amazing. First hand experience.
Racism is not a natural trait. Little kids are not born racist. It is a teaching. Devil philosophy. It is a temptation especially for narcissists who think they’re special.
No , Duff , we are not all gone .
Damn, my rant had to be cut short. You cheat.
Good rant Gordon. You made some great points. The medical industry is crap. I’ve found the private sector can’t be trusted either. I just don’t get sick.
I tend to agree with you about people being oblivious to what is going on all around them and the responsibility they should be taking for the reality they have helped to create. I’ve found that if you say the words “morals, values, ethics, honor” they tend to get nervous as if you have brought up some taboo subject. The workaround for me is I just limit my conversations and always make it pleasant, entertaining, and of some substance. And smile. (plant the seed, water when needed, nurture when it sprouts)
You use the term “reality” a number of times. I chuckled at the thought of how your reality has TWO Land Rovers. Oh crap, now I’m laughing out loud. I walk.
Well, that’s the reality I created for myself. I’m pretty comfortable with that reality and the knowledge that I can change it at will. Now of course I know it’s not with a snap of my fingers but I am also fully aware of the effect I have on not just MY reality but the far-reaching effect on the whole. This is how we begin to change the paradigm. But don’t take my word for it. I’m just probably in your opinion one of the 99.99% that would finish last in a game of find your foot.
Like with potato chips, when I buy one of something, i buy more…Land Cruisers…not Land Rovers although I am looking for a Defender
“I often wish I had been one of them. And so it goes”
Everyone has regrets; EVERYONE
Even those we may think, “got it right.”
We all play the hand we’re dealt.
And EVERY one’s hand is unique.
Gordon, it’s not too late to ignore it all. That fun crotch rocket is the best antidepressant money can buy and personally…the TV set exited my place decades ago. A CSM (ret.) left one in my garage in 2012 after his (ex) wife smashed his Harley to pieces with a sludge hammer (and he stayed at my place…she shot him in the interim). His TV is still unplugged and in the garage. Those dogs of yours are really superior company.
Looking for an H2 with cases and a full supercharger, not the 200hp model. It is better to flash the 1400cc up to 135 torque than to supercharge the 1000….and carry the extra 150 pounds
You can keep the race replica sport bikes – unless you have the right connections to make moving violations go away, even a clunker like my Bonneville is more fun to ride.
“Gettysburg” was certainly a realistic depiction of combat in the pre-machine gun era. “The thing that bothered me the most was there were too many overweight Confederate soldiers in it,” said Gary Gallagher, chairman of Penn State University’s history department. “By 1863, they were a pretty lean bunch. They didn’t consume that many calories.” You’ve alluded to that being the case with GIs in Vietnam as well.
Yes, those pampered princes of the Pentagon are mostly “cowards and assholes strutting around with their fake medals and lording over Congress.” But, don’t forget the Dominionist Generals who’ve been scheming for decades to stage a coup and turn the USA into some kind of pseudo-Christian theocracy. Mike Flynn is just the most obvious example of these nutters. They’re the most dangerous threat to democracy the USA and they’re not going away anytime soon.
