Clown World

[Raskolnikov]

This is an article from 2021 but I feel it earns it's rightful place in clown world from the title alone:

Reparations for slavery could have reduced Covid-19 transmission and deaths in the US, Harvard study says

CNN
—
"Covid-19 is disproportionately sickening and killing Black Americans, the result of centuries of structural racism, a group of Harvard researchers says.

If the US had paid reparations the descendants of Black Americans who were enslaved, though, the risk of severe illness and death from the virus would be far lower, according to a new, peer-reviewed study by the researchers..."

Somewhat more serious than "clown", strictly speaking, but, give us strength

----------

Meet Dr Keith Wolverton, a genial British GP working in urgent care. During a consultation at a walk-in centre in Staffordshire, he asked a Muslim woman to remove her niqab because he had difficulty hearing her explain her young daughter’s symptoms. He cited issues with her English and the need to see her mouth movements for clear communication and proper diagnosis. She initially refused on religious grounds but eventually complied.

After her daughter received treatment and recovered, the thankless woman filed a complained that she felt “victimised and racially discriminated against.”

CONSEQUENCES: A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing found the doctor guilty of misconduct. He was initially suspended for 9 months. In 2026, Dr Wolverton was struck off the medical register (effectively sacked/banned from practising). All because he was concerned about the health of a child.

Clown World hardly seems appropriate for this horriffic act of a father and the terrifying stance that the BBC has taken.



The BBC could have spun this story anyway they wanted, but they decided to depict child exploitation as falling on hard times was the way to go. There is a special place in hell for people who do this and those who attempt to whitewash the crime.

Surgeon struck off for amputating his own legs after buying videos from 'Eunoch Maker'

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hPAF_Ce-rG8

Disgusting individual, Neil Hopper (no pun intended) was a vascular sugeon who got off on amputating limbs, even amputating his own. One has to wonder just how many limbs could have been saved if his depravity had come to light earlier.

In the Metro today :
A surgeon jailed for fraud after feezing his legs so they had to be amputated has been struck off the medical register.

Neil Hopper, 50, was told his actions were "at the extreme high end of the spectrum of seriousnesss" by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service. He was jailed for 32 months and given a 1-year sexual harm prevention order last year after admitting claiming more than £460,000 in insurance payouts and possessing extreme pornography. Hopper is also said to have ecouraged other to remove limbs. The tribunal ruled, "A surgeon receiving sexual gratification from amputation or mutilation pornography is not compatible with how the public should perceive a competent doctor."

Nothing screams TRUE SOCIALIST like:

-A millionaire who owns 3 homes
-Arriving in a huge SUV
-To his private jet
-To fly out and give a paid speech
-On the evils of capitalism and fossil fuels

Am I right?

Germany, once one of the greatest football nations with a history of 4 World Cup wins, fails again at the current World Cup. (for the 3rd time in a row since last winning it in 2014)

Chancellor Merz told the team - also called the "Mannschaft" - that we all here at home are 'proud of you'. No. No one here in Germany is. This guy has no grip on reality. Total fail. This guy is a joke for everyone here. He is even worse than Merkel.

Friedrich Merz brought pure toxic positivity to Germany’s humiliating World Cup exit, tweeting that a depressing penalty collapse "thrilled our country." This corporate gaslighting left fans wondering if he’d accidentally watched a rerun of 2014 instead of the actual trainwreck. When roasted, he demanded blind support for the team—a strategy he clearly copies from his economic policy, where the wheels fall off the wagon and he expects everyone to applaud the team spirit of the crash

This is what happened to very liberal policy maker, California State Senator Scott Wiener, at a recent pride celebration.
Seems lots of these politicians are now in a double bind situation...

That's just your typical political ballyhoo: meet abject failure with a warm smile, a participation trophy, and a hearty slap on the back. It's passive aggressive virtue signalling. It means you don't need a 'strong competitive edge' to succeed [that's just toxic masculinity!], just turning up is enough. BS. In my day it was "Not good enough! Figure out what you did wrong and do better next time."

I can't say it broke my heart that Germany got eliminated 😝 - we only just got past DR Congo, but suffice it to say: we know how you feel. At least you were bloody born when you last won the World Cup!

Some people find out the hard way in Clown World.

Transgender Person Who Fled the United States for the Netherlands Now Complains About Being Harassed by Muslims There

A transgender person who was born a male but now identifies as a woman, fled the United States of America for the Netherlands, apparently believing there would be greater freedom there. This same person was recently interviewed and complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in the Dutch country.

How many times have we seen something like this before?

People on the left who flee the United States of America looking for something better, almost never find what they are seeking. In fact, they usually end up learning a hard lesson about how much better life is in the United States.

John Nolte writes at Breitbart News:

The Dutch town of Ter Apel has a population of just 10,000 and was just sabotaged by its own government.

Over 2,200 asylum seekers were dumped on this town, most of them young, Muslim men. The center used to house asylum seekers tops out at 2,000, so, according to local news reports, “between 40 and 100 asylum seekers have spent their days outside the centre.”

Naturally, this influx of hostile foreigners who are not interested in integrating has deteriorated conditions. Violence has become enough of a problem that the “Red Cross and the Dutch Council for Refugees… have withdrawn their aid workers from the grounds around the Ter Apel asylum reception after rising violence, culminating in two stabbings last week, have left the area too dangerous to continue operating in.”…

“It’s scary. It’s legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so substantially, being here, that I just need to get out,” the dude in a dress said. “The situation I have in the U.S. as a trans person — not good, right? — but here I will be hurt or killed.”

So many people on the American left think they are victims of oppression and don’t seem to have the slightest idea of how good that they have things here.

Even transgender people in the United States can, for the most part, lead positive, happy lives. The only times that American conservatives really push back is when this ideology is being pushed on children. That’s where most people draw the line.

If you’re an American citizen, you won the international lottery. Be thankful.

Speaking of Clown World, really hoping England kicks Argentina's butt today! Rumo(u)rs spinning around it's rigged for Argentina. We're about to find out...

We had them at the hour mark at 1-0, Raskolnikov, but then threw it away, which is the usual story for us. Better team won in the end though (i don't smell a fix), so I won't complain (but I profoundly hope Spain give their smug, spoiled arses a proper thrashing in the final).

It is very good talk in my opinion... Chris Hedges is talking with Ece Temelkuran...
Ece Temelkuran is an award winning Turkish novelist, a political thinker and a public speaker.. whose work has appeared in the Guardian, New York Times, Le Monde ..

England would have deserved to win up to their first goal which I thought was wonderfully played out, btw.
But then it went downhill for them when they tried to build that brick wall and to persevere back there defending their narrow 1-0 lead.
So in the end it was a deserved win for Argentinia who played well (including a brilliant Messi) when they suddenly were lagging behind. It was a 'different' game then for sure.

I feel sorry for England by now. Maybe they would have deserved a title but for now it's already '60 years of hurt'.


Anybody remember the Euro '96 English theme song when it was half of it with that famous line '30 years of hurt'? Always liked the song but Football is just not "coming home" it seems. Not then, not now. Maybe in two years when they have a home advatage at Euro '28?

44 years for me since the failure of Spain '82 (we didn't qualify for '78 - that's another story). Plenty of hurt over those years, quite often from penalty shootout disasters. Glad that wasn't the case this time, don't think I can take another of those. We went out fighting, but we weren't good enough. Actually, I say we weren't fit enough. Those players were exhausted in the final twenty minutes. There was nothing left in the tank. They were punch drunk. Argentina handled the strain and the heat better than we did. If we played that game in England in December with everyone fully fit, I think we win. Football, or any sport, isn't just about ability, it's about conditions, strategy, mentality, and stamina. We failed in one or more of those areas, and so didn't deserve to win.

I doubt it. My default condition these days is expect to fail one way or the other, to shoot ourselves in the foot with the finish line in sight. Same old story. But we're not alone. Ask the Dutch! (or the Belgians).
