KEEPING YOUR SANITY XXVII
THE FEARPORN QUACK
Quack doctors are a particularly despised species of proto-hominids. The one pictured above made headlines around the world last week claiming people overdosing on a horse medicine were overwhelming hospital emergency rooms in rural Oklahoma.
It turns out that this quack completely invented the story whole cloth, yet it suckered the entire Global Libtard Media. This afternoon’s (9/06) Fox headline: Rachel Maddow, Liberal Media Figures Slammed For 'Taking The Bait' On False Story About Ivermectin Overdoses.
This is beyond weird. This is an unverified story of about horse medicine in small hospitals in rural Oklahoma that goes worldwide. WTH is going on here? It’s the Fascist Covid Cult at work.

The inner town (Itchan Kala) of the ancient Silk Road oasis of Khiva has been unchanged for centuries. Surrounded by 40ft-high snake walls that writhe around the city, its labyrinth of narrow lanes adorned with blue and aquamarine tile mosaics is a living museum for you to explore.
On the Oxus or Amu Darya River in deepest Central Asia, Khiva was ancient when Alexander the Great seized it in 329 BC. It survived the depredations of Arabs in the 7th century, Mongols in the 12th, Tamerlane in the 13th. The Khanate of Khiva continued to flourish on the Silk Road until conquered by the Russians in the 19th. Today in Uzbekistan, it remains as the best-preserved of the ancient oases of the Silk Road, yet unknown to the outside world. We’ll be here once again this coming September.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – THE POTALA
Lhasa, Tibet, 1986. Built in the mid-1600s, the Potala in Lhasa, Tibet was the home of the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Avalokiteśvara, the Buddhist deity of compassion, until the Communist Chinese colonized Tibet in 1959.
The Potala is one of the world’s great architectural wonders, thirteen stories high with molten copper poured into the foundation to stabilize it from earthquakes, 1,000 rooms, 10,000 shrines, 200,000 statues. I’ve been here several times since 1986, and it’s always such a powerful experience. Yet to Tibetans, this is a “dead” building as the Dalai Lama is gone. It is my hope that someday, the Dalai Lama will live here in a Free Tibet once again. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #114 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
SNOW WHITE AND THE VAX MANDATE WITCH
HALF-FULL REPORT 09/03/21
“Burn in Hell Biden.” History will recall his being named that this week. Read why in Tuesday’s (8/31) Daily Mail report – the Gold Star families’ stories will break your heart:
In his psychology practice, Dr. Joel Wade has counseled many couples with troubled marriages. One clear sign, he says, of a marriage beyond repair is a level of contempt that one spouse has for the other which cannot be rectified. This is a presidency beyond repair.
The contempt switch has been flipped on for millions of Americans regarding Xiden’s deadly Afghan debacle, with contempt and disgust for him growing deeper and more widespread from now on.
Once on, it can’t be switched off, because his reaction to it will make it worse. He will continue to react with anger and double-down denial until his feeble brain goes fetal and implodes. It won’t be a pretty sight. The nation will avert its eyes as it braces for President Heels Up.
INDIAN TIBET
There is a part of Tibet the British kept from China and is now a part of India. The region is called Ladakh and this is its capital of Leh. It’s the Upper Indus river valley after it flows out of Chinese Tibet and before it reaches the Line of Control with Pakistan.
Ladakh is geographically and culturally Tibetan, where Tibetan culture still flourishes. Here the great gompas (monasteries) of Thikse and Hemis are active, and where you are welcome in hidden mysterious gompas like Lamayuru over a thousand years old.
There is an ultra-remote part of Ladakh called Zanskar where the Zanskar River flows through the crest of the Himalayas to reach the Upper Indus. Running the Zanskar is one of the world’s greatest whitewater experiences. We’ll see and do all of this next August on our Indian Tibet Expedition.

HOW DID THE PENTAGON BECOME MENTALLY ILL?
The fall of Kabul is not the end, as Joe Biden seems to think, of the Afghanistan nightmare.
It is the beginning of a never-ending bad dream. Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country.
Something is terribly wrong in the ranks of America’s top commanders that reflects something wrong with the country.

Eric Clapton Rails Against Authoritarians Crushing Liberty in Anthem ‘This Has Gotta Stop’
One possible shape of things to come in the evolution of the COVID tyranny plan:
What Can We Learn About COVID Tyranny From Australia And Afghanistan?
How did Afghanistan get to be what it is now? It is all too reminiscent of the US 2020 election:
THE SOULLESS SOCIOPATH IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Our hapless president's speech yesterday (Tuesday 8/31) was not a speech at all. It was a full-blown childish tantrum.
While he was ostensibly celebrating his massive "airlift" of thousands of mostly Afghan refugees, from the beginning, it was clear he is extremely angry. He almost shouted his claim that his catastrophic misadventure in Afghanistan has been a “historical” achievement. This is a huge lie, and everyone knows it, even those trying to spin this debacle as a win.
The man is a pathological liar without heart and soul. As the months of his administration slip by, it becomes clearer and clearer that he is a sociopath.
HEY, BIDEN VOTERS!!
Damn you all. You’re American citizens, with the right to vote in presidential elections. You’re grownups with no excuse.
For four years, we had a president who revived America’s economy (especially for minorities), shored up Americans’ individual liberties, forged several remarkable peace agreements, and greatly strengthened our international position—thus firmly checking the ambitions of our powerful adversaries.
But now, thanks to you -- yes, you Biden voter, look in the mirror! — that’s all thrown in the ashcan. As a result, America has reached perhaps the lowest point in its history, and lower ones will soon be coming.
So my question: are you going to come to your senses or not?
