1. Poverty: A Fun Lifestyle

PressProgress: More people than ever are increasingly embracing ‘frugal’ nomadic lifestyle, right-wing think tank claims

In other words:
 
As Klaus Schwab hath spoken: "You will own nothing and you will be happy". YouTube

Now the compliant media are helping to make that real. But not everybody's swallowing the pill.

Absolutely Brilliant YouTuber Comment re Schwab's famous statement:

• "It's just a mask." "It's just six feet." "It's just two weeks." "It's just non essential businesses." "It's just non essential workers." "It's just a bar." "It's just a restaurant." "It's just to keep from overwhelming the hospitals." "It's just to make the cases go down." "It's just to flatten the curve." "It's just a few inmates."

2. Re: Last Week's Dog Rant

This is an emailed response to my tirade about dogs last week (2. Dog Tales) -- from a reader who wishes to be "Anon" because: "I don't want dog-do shoved in my letter box."

Fair enough.

"Anon" says:

"Genius Dave Allen !  I'm 110% with you, and him, on dogs. 

"Why would any intelligent person saddle him-/herself with the expense (in time and money) of owning a (by definition) inbred needy quadruped that can only eat and dump?

"What must aliens conclude about humans, as they watch most of us walking around in circles with a dog on a string?! And stooping to collect its droppings?!

"IQ = 1 ÷ (2 x number of dogs owned), where 1 = average IQ of dogless persons

"e.g. a person with 2 dogs has 25% normal IQ.

"Pretty good, eh?"

YYC:
Being a girl, the math is way over my head, but I'm pretty sure it's safe to say: "brilliant Anon!"

3. Good Will to those of Good Will

TheInterim.com: Peace on earth, goodwill to those of goodwill

• This Christmas season, it is instructive to note the divergent translations of a key phrase in the New Testament story of Christmas – often said to express the essence of the real meaning of the season – basically between “peace on Earth, goodwill to those of goodwill” and “peace on Earth, goodwill towards all”. The latter translation, derived from the King James Bible, is actually a mistranslation of a passage which literally reads “peace on Earth to those who are of the tribe of the Lamb.” The form noted in the title (“goodwill to those of goodwill”) is already a less-exclusive version of what is written in ancient Greek, the original language of the New Testament. Nevertheless, the two contrasting versions are a good basis for distinguishing between two quite different moral stances.

z-z-z-z-z-z-z ...

Turns out it's Biblically OK if you don't have "Goodwill towards all". So let the battles rage! It's always the bad guys against the good guys, eh? -- (both sides being both good guys and bad guys, of course).

Good against Evil, eh? Kill or be killed, eh?  Sacrificing for "Peace", eh?

One hour time off allowed to eat a canned Christmas Dinner, eh?

Now, get back to loving Ukraine and hating Russia -- (or loving Russia and hating Ukraine) -- because "peace toward all" is a Biblical mistranslation -- and you'd better believe it, eh?

[The eh's are just so you know I'm Canadian, eh?]

4. From the "Holy Land"

PalChronicle: ‘Jewish Dream’ Turns into Nightmare: ‘Fantasy Israel’ Faces Moment of Truth

• Uri Davis, in his seminal work on Israel, clarified the place of Apartheid within the means used by the settler-colonial movement of Zionism and the state of Israel for implementing the main logic of any settler-colonial project: “The elimination of the native”.

===========================================================================

5. Poll Vaulting

NatNewsWatch: Good riddance: Most Canadians feel 2022 was worse than 2021, poll suggests

• A total of 1,526 Canadians participated in the web survey from Dec. 9 to Dec. 11. It cannot be assigned a margin of error because online polls are not considered truly random samples.

So why bother with them???

Because this is what you're supposed to be worried about now:

• Results show 72 per cent of respondents expressed concern about the war in Ukraine expanding, and 68 per cent felt worried about "catastrophic" weather events due to climate change.

That's not good. Too many people are distracted by distant war and not quite terrified enough about "climate change" -- although psychologists are working on what they like to call "eco-anxiety' -- a real windfall for the shrink business.

Here's what I've got to say about that:

Either you're closing your eyes
To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
By the presence of [weather] in your community.
Ya got trouble, my friend, right here,
I say, trouble right here in [your] City.
Why sure I'm a [recycling] player,
Certainly mighty proud I say
I'm always mighty proud to say it.
I consider that the hours I spend
With a [TV remote] in my hand are golden.
Help you cultivate [non] sense
And a [cluttered] head and a [bleary] eye.

6. He Just Hadda Open His Mouth ...

Trudeau couldn't just say Merry Christmas and take off in royal style without first insulting Canadians' intelligence?

NatNewsWatch:​

• Trudeau asks that as people to prepare to see extended family members who they "haven't seen in so long" to remember "how fortunate we are to live in a country of peace."

This "country of peace" has been sending war support to Ukraine because our Finance Minister has a soft spot for where she owns property. Trudeau is also taking his wife and kids out of Canada for a very expensive holiday because Canada is obviously not a great place in which to celebrate Christmas.

And he has the gall to tell Canadians what they should think and feel this Christmas!!!!

CTVNews:

• The family's flights to and from Costa Rica over the Christmas holiday in 2019 cost the government about $57,000 and thousands more were spent on flight crews' stay in San Jose.

And he didn't even say thanks.
