A Farewell To ONT

Howdy! Welcome to the Thursday ONT. Know who get it? The Poles get it.

Drives me nuts that so many people think Fascism and Communism are opposites. They're 98% the same set of beliefs. Historically, they oppose each other because they're both competing for the same followers.

Brazilian Woman Granted Refugee Status in Europe After Facing 25-Year Sentence for ‘Misgendering’ Trans Politician

In a precedent-setting move, a European country has officially granted full refugee protections to a Brazilian women’s rights activist who was facing 25 years in prison in her home country for misgendering a transgender politician. Isabella Cêpa is the first person to be recognized as a victim of state persecution for her outspoken opposition to gender identity ideology.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Cêpa first came under criminal investigation after she made a social media post about Erika Hilton – a male politician who “identifies” as a woman. Hilton was elected to São Paulo’s municipal government in November of 2020, winning his seat by a landslide that gave him the title of the most voted-for ‘woman’ in Brazil.
At the time of his victory, Hilton was celebrated in international media as being a “symbolic triumph” for transgender people. Hilton was amongst the top 10 most-voted for candidates in all of Brazil, and was touted as the “only woman” to make the list. 
It was the widespread announcement of his victory that first put him on Cêpa’s radar.

Surprisingly enough, it's the EU granting asylum. I would have expected it to be one of the Eastern Bloc countries.

Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb

Redeemed Whores, Prideful Virgins, and What To Do with the Doctrine of Expiation

What followed was predictable: a stampede of screeching outrage, not from liberal heretics or blue-haired witches, but from the alt-right young men who usually chant “Christ is King” with us in the trenches. Apparently, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is fine when it saves murderers, warlords, and Confederate war generals, but not when it washes clean the girl with a body count. We can forgive Saul of Tarsus, but not the girl who had a stripper pole in her living room.

What this backlash revealed is that even among those who claim the name of Christ, there is a deadly misunderstanding about the nature of redemption. They love the aesthetics of Christianity (the blood, the cross, the judgment) but they have no patience for the glory of forgiveness. They wield law like a war hammer but have no category for grace. To them, the Gospel is a tool for smashing their enemies, not resurrecting their sisters. That is why I responded the way I did. I said: “This tweet from Protestia brought some H8rs out of the woodwork. But let me be clear: We are going to stand with the Gospel Doctrine of Expiation, and continue to proclaim its supernatural power to redeem sinners.”

There's an interesting theological debate to be had there if anyone wants to have it. I pretty much agree with the author of the linked piece. Sin is sin, be it murder or theft or fornication, and we're all guilty. If the sinner truly repents in Christ, those sins are washed clean and the sinner is born again. If it's good enough for Christ it should be good enough for a prospective partner. Besides, if she really has repented, she'll might make a fine wife, and the wedding night will be one to remember.

mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: The intracellular aggregation of encoded spike monomers and their subunits as a cause of cardiac side effects

I lost the link, but the linked paper was summarized like this at the page I got this from:

New study published in the prestigious Frontiers in Immunology journal reveal that modRNA "covid vaccines" program human cells not to produce a uniform spike protein as intended (as a SARS-CoV-2 antigen) - but rather produce multiple variants of this protein and undesirable products that trigger inflammatory conditions in the body, including heart inflammation.

These spike protein variants and undesirable products aggregate into clumps inside the cell into which the vaccine mRNA has entered (including heart cells), which in the long term cause internal stress, inflammation, and cell damage.

In practice, this inflammation in heart cells can lead - over time- to symptoms such as heart palpitations, weakness, and lethal myocarditis. Depending on the person, these conditions can arise much earlier or much later.

The aggregated spike protein variants and its fragments mostly remain in the cells. This means that the body cannot simply get rid of them.

Unlike a virus, which is completely eliminated by the immune system, the cell itself produces these substances and does so for an extended period. If the affected tissue does not regenerate or is inherently sensitive (like the heart), this can lead to chronic ailments, myocarditis, and over time to life-threatening heart rhythm disorders.

The science is settled?

The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly

Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular. But that’s not the real problem.  The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it? Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration. 

Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant crime has been punished as “racist” and “hate speech” by the Starmer regime. 

Now I don't really think the Brits are going to stand Starmer up against a wall on Christmas...but there's always the Tower of London.

We're From The Government, We're Here To Help

Biden Put This Harmless Mechanic In Prison. Now, Troy Lake Is Asking Trump for Help

Until 2018. One day in October of that year, the Lakes and one of their employees were enjoying a meal at a local Olive Garden when the federal government executed a search warrant on Elite Diesel. They watched via an app on their phones that accessed the shop's cameras.   "It looked like a military operation," Holly told Cowboy State Daily. She said black SUVs were lined up outside, and "agents in tactical gear" raided the place, going through every corner of the building, rifling through their equipment, and reading their personal files.  After what the Lakes call the "raid," nothing happened for several years. The family eventually decided to move back to Wyoming, taking Elite Diesel with them. They even contacted the feds to let them know they were moving and stayed in touch, trying to do everything on the up-and-up.  But today, Troy Lake sits in federal prison in Colorado, where he has spent the last six months. 

Thing is, he did do what he was accused of, but maybe this is a time for the “it's a stupid rule” principle to kick in.

Personal Note

This is the last Thursday ONT I will be writing. I've been doing this for almost ten years, I'm tired boss. Don't worry, I'll still be kicking your weekend off right by meeting your meme needs on the Friday ONT, but starting next week Thursdays will be covered by the eminently capable Doof. It's been a pleasure and an honor to entertain you Morons all these years.

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the Anti-loneliness Club:
