Non-violent is debatable, but really I do not care. Enough of this stuff being brought in. Dirty little secret is plenty of interests are fine with people in poor areas ODing so their organs can be used. I don't have a problem with it.


I doubt homeless drug addicts are taking the time register as organ donors.

No doubt that those who do have a high incident of comorbidities that make them ineligible as organ donors.

It isn't "homeless drug addicts." It is lower-class working people hooked usually started on painkillers. Places like Johnston, PA. Depressed areas.

Perhaps if their parents, schools and society hadn't FAILED them they'd still be alive today.

What is it about personal freedom that makes it so difficult for so many to succeed in life?

Hell, if I were a high school drop out in coal country or the rust belt without any job skills and without a good-paying job available I'd probably want to "give up" too, say "fuck it" and seek brief happiness via chemical haze.

It is about how it goes in depressed areas. Nobody cares about depressed white areas. The jobs left 50 years or so ago, people are left with little hope. Of course the thing is they are not shooting each other like in the inner cities. These are people who maybe have a job at the C-Store, being one of the better places in town to work. Family and friends keep too many there. I have worked gigs in many, they are sad places.

What I'm reading are a bunch of folks are brainwashed and don't know it:


Usually it seems, the younger a person is, the easier it is to get out of the organized deception.

It's easy to determine which folks absorb the Mockingbird info not knowing it's designed to destroy.



Here's an example:

A young male student with a good future in the palm of his hand.

Up in smoke - Poof!


Now, he has a choice, to look inside or blame the outside.

Since he was obviously brainwashed by the Mockingbird, he's got a steep hill to climb.


Notice how he holds his family jewels after getting off the stage.

The majority of organs for transplant come from trauma cases or brain/head injuries. Very few were from drug overdoses, as they tended to be found dead rather than die in the hospital.

I agree that blowing up these boats presumably carrying drugs NOT in US waters seems like it should not be allowed. I’m not sure what gives us the right to board vessels in international waters. Can Panama board a US based boat in international waters because they believe it is transporting illegal drugs to Panama? In any event, if Trump uses the word ‘emergency’ to describe the need for these attacks, that’s just silly.

I'm not saying "majority" I am going by someone I know was a pilot and flew lots of organs back from ODs. It was a regular thing, lots in upper-Appalachia. I was offered to come see them harvest but as much as I like to see how things work that was above what I want to see.

Trump filed a $15 Billion dollar lawsuit against the New York Times, claiming defamation.

The talking heads agree he has every right to do so.

Oh, really?

What about the old expression "turn about is fair play?"

After his re-election the criminal cases against him seem to have come to a crashing halt: I have to ask in light of the above..."Why?"

If he can sue he can be sued and prosecuted...correct?

What is wrong with this picture, why does the oaf get yet another undeserved bye?

Simple. The cases against him were lawfare, meant to keep him from running. There is no reason left for the lawfare now that he won election.
