Ye ol' Fake News corona numbers, like gov economic statistics. Who's a thunk it?

Seems that a lot of posters here are drinking the MSM kool-aid these days, Gatlin being a prime example.

No anxiety here -

But you definitely attempt to create anxiety for others in your posts.

Consequently, we regrettably find in today’s world that truth is constantly
under heavy attack by your kind for your own nefarious reasons. And we
also find there are too few of us vigilantly courageous justice warriors
with nobly fine personal qualities and high moral principles who will
gallantly fight for the defense of the good against the dastardly wicked
efforts of those who expound your dogma of lies, half-truths and false
narratives in deceptive posts where you promulgate your efforts to direly
bifurcate our great nation.

It is with deep pleasure and it is utmost appropriately suitable that I point out
to you since whatever it is you are searching for is definitely not to be found,
therefore:

There are long-term benefits to taking concrete steps to improve bad situations.

Identify the contours of the problem you are presenting, then create a plan of attack or recommend corrective action.

Don’t just continually jump from posting one fear mongering article to the next.

You need to respond to your avoidance urges by taking action, prioritize personal control and fulfillment over spreading anxiety.

You need to be go easy on your scare mongering tactic. Yes, some days will be worse than others. But ultimately, problem solving must be an inevitable part of our daily lives – No matter how hard you try to “hack” your agenda.

This is why it’s important to be realistic about problems in your life, and cut yourself some slack on the days you feel like engaging in more scare mongering.

We’re living through a global health crisis, after all; times are tough, they’re stressful, and struggling with dark thoughts or overwhelming feelings is to be expected.

At a time like this, you need to be warm and supportive when other people get overwhelmed and see if you can treat yourself the same way.

It’s important to recognize that we need to be ultra-sensitive to others’ anxiety right now. That may be hard for you to do since your social brain appears to be hardwired to pick up on other people’s fear, absorb it as our own and do everything you can to instill that fear in others.

We are all being tested during these times. And we’ll get to the other side of this. Then we should look back and ask how we conducted ourselves – including how we treated and responded to other people. All we can do each day is the best we can do and we can do the best we can each day.

What you need to do is to stop stirring the shit – Capiche …

But you definitely attempt to create anxiety for others in your posts.

Once again, you are incorrect.

I am simply posting facts - the fact that the media is lying to us (no surprise there) and the government is using this manufactured crisis to once again strip liberties from American citizens.

That also is no surprise.

You need to be go easy on your scare mongering tactic.

Tell it the news media.

It’s important to recognize that we need to be ultra-sensitive to others’ anxiety right now.

Oh, I didn't realize that LF was inhabited by cringing little snowflakes.

Posters here are adults, not children.

We are all being tested during these times.

We are being lied to - it's important that folks realize that.

What you need to do is to stop stirring the shit

What you need to do is go hide somewhere safe if you are so fearful.

Gatlin: But you definitely attempt to create anxiety for others in your posts.

Deckard Once again, you are incorrect.

Here is the headline in most recent article you posted:

How Coronavirus Cases in The U.S. Are Going to Explode Out of Nowhere.

Deckard: I am simply posting facts –

The lead sentence in your article:

… an increase solar ultraviolet radiation which results in elevate vitamin D levels in human populations that will abolish coronavirus cases and death.

Can you?

… the fact that the media is lying to us (no surprise there) …

… this manufactured crisis …

Please document for all how this is a “manufactured crisis.”

Can You?

Gatlin: You need to be go easy on your scare mongering tactic.

Deckard: Tell it the news media.

I can tell the news media nothing.

But I respectfully ask why it is that you feel an absolute imperative whereby you must PARROT the scare mongering?

And will you also please tell everyone what the driving impetus, power, or energy behind this for you is?

Deckard: We are being lied to -

You previously accused Fauci of “being all over the media, serving up outright falsehoods to stir up even more panic.”

I Then documented that you were posting only a portion of his statement to spin and falsely support your view– and that made you the proven LIAR.
https://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=61162&Disp=11#C11

I ask you to now show these other lies of which you speak and supply documented proof to show that they are indeed lies – Can you?

Posters here are adults, not children.

I surely hope that you are not including hondope in you gross generalization here – Are you?

What you need to do is go hide somewhere safe if you are so fearful.

I do plan to continue to follow the recommended steps to help prevent the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

What are you doing?

I also indicated quarantines will be counterproductive and force people indoors and further deprive them of life-saving vitamin D.

Well drink some milk, you fuckin' dolt...

Or eat some fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel, tuna or sardines... Or a dose of cod liver oil...

Nobody's gonna suffer vitamin D deficiencey just because they're avoiding coronavirus...

Good God... Over the years I've seen Lew Rockwell spew a lot of irrational stupidity, but this time someone really ought to stick a rag in his mouth..

But I respectfully ask why it is that you feel an absolute imperative whereby you must PARROT the scare mongering.

Gawd, could you be any more dense?

I'm not parroting anything - like I said, the articles I post are critical of the official scare-mongering done by the gooberment and the media.

I do plan to continue to follow the recommended steps to help prevent the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

What are you doing?

Living my life free of fear, unlike so many here who seem to think that this is the end of the world.

I also indicated quarantines will be counterproductive and force people indoors and further deprive them of life-saving vitamin D.

Well drink some milk, you fuckin' dolt...

Let me guess - you're one of the idiots who think that staying cooped up inside is a good idea?

Here is the headline in most recent article you posted:

How Coronavirus Cases in The U.S. Are Going to Explode Out of Nowhere.

Please be so kind as to explain in a manner that everyone can thoroughly understand how your posting the article with this headline can possibly give people the experience of peaceful moments whereby they can enjoy their downtime from the stresses and strains of today’s health situation.

Did you even bother to read past the headline?

Buried in the news report is this language: “numbers in the U.S. are rising sharply partly because testing is being more widespread.”

So indiscriminate news reports will sound alarming because news agencies want to capture readership.  This parade of irresponsible news reports is anticipated to raise levels of anxiety in the American population at large.  The “What do we do now?” panic sets in.

Because there are more cases of coronavirus infection reported with more testing, and because testing produces a high percentage of false positive tests that falsely indicate a person has the disease when they don’t, it will be easy to mislead the public and cause the public to accept draconian community lockdowns.  Just the intentional withholding of toilet paper supplies could provoke civilian unrest and cause the public to clamor for troops in the streets to halt civil unrest.

Read the articles before you post any more of your ignorant comments.

I am so fucking done with you - it's like trying to reason with a 12 year old.

Your problems are over, gov has found the solution.

Gatlin's gonna need some of that government "cheese" once his stock goes down the shitter.

you're one of the idiots who think that staying cooped up inside is a good idea?

You gotta learn to think outside the box, stooge...

You worried about sunlight? Sit next to the goddam window.... With springtime approaching, you can even open the goddam window & let in some fresh air... sure as hell beats recirculating that stuffy shit with the A/C...

Gatlin: But I respectfully ask why it is that you feel an absolute imperative whereby you must PARROT the scare mongering.

Deckard: I'm not parroting anything - like I said, the articles …

So, if it is as you said that “the news media is using scare mongering tactic” – Then you therefore are posting those “scare mongering” articles.

Consequently, how is it that you are “not parroting anything?”

Please explain …

I do plan to continue to follow the recommended steps to help prevent the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

What are you doing?

Living my life free of fear …

Can you be more specific so that those here who wish to use you as a shining example who has logically driven daily life procedures can duplicate your lifestyle under the conditions today.

Did you even bother to read past the headline?

Of course, I did – Did you even bother to read my post to you where I stated:

The lead sentence in your article:

… an increase solar ultraviolet radiation which results in elevate vitamin D levels in human populations that will abolish coronavirus cases and death.

Please furnish your readers here proof of your “simply posting acts” by documenting with scientific proof that ALL coronavirus cases and deaths WILL BE ABOLISHED by the spring equinox.

You never furnished any proof – Will you please do so now?

Or can’t you …

Did you even bother to read past the headline?

Did you even bother to read my response on that?

I’ll answer that – No, you did not.

Buried in the news report is this language: “numbers in the U.S. are rising sharply partly because testing is being more widespread.”

So indiscriminate news reports will sound alarming because news agencies want to capture readership. This parade of irresponsible news reports is anticipated to raise levels of anxiety in the American population at large. The “What do we do now?” panic sets in.

You said the you presented “facts” – There are no “facts” here.

… because testing produces a high percentage of false positive tests that falsely indicate a person has the disease when they don’t …

Coronavirus false test results: With the push to screen come questions of accuracy. Reports of “false negatives” could complicate efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/19/coronavirus-false-test- results-with-the-push-to-screen-come-questions-of-accuracy/

Read the articles before you post …

I am so fucking done with you - it's like trying to reason with a 12 year old.

And now instead of advancing good sound reasoning you inject a ad hominem in view in your absence of any logical argumentation and do so with attack-language unrelated to the truth in this matter.

Your displayed fallacy of relevance where your reject and criticize my view on the basis of a demeaning and inappropriate characterization is one of your traits for escaping to protect yourself from further embarrassment – I recognize that.

Verbally attacking me proves nothing about the truth or falsity of my assertions.

The use your ad hominem signals the point of your capitulation – And I will accept it.

Good Day, to you – Sir …

Just when you thought I had finished with you – Here I am again to respond to one of your comments.

Deckard: Seems that a lot of posters here are drinking the MSM kool-aid these days …

[Missing from this list is the article where you and I had a lengthy exchange].

Man …

You can MLFGA – Just go for it.

Clean up you act …

A pathetic lack of participation

I appreciate Deckard's posts.

If an article is interesting, I can easily search the back story to get a rounded view.

I appreciate Deckard's posts.

If an article is interesting, I can easily search the back story to get a rounded view.

Gatlin has had this obsession with the articles I post going back at least ten years, starting over at the old Liberty Post forum.

He doesn't like any articles that deviate from what he deems to be "acceptable".

If he were the site moderator or owner, you can be sure any such articles that do not support his narrow minded world view would be verboten.

I appreciate Deckard's posts.

This was quite evident to me when I could not help but notice that the lonely single response to his posted COVID-19: Welcome to the New Dark Ages article was you telling him “That reminds me...rent is due in nine days.”

Good informative news articles cross a vast domain that encapsulates various genres with each story having different characteristics in terms of what important information it provides.

In that regard, this article Deckard posted obviously was of great appreciative significance to you – since it reminded you to meet your financial requirement to pay your rent.

Amazing …

Do you often have a problem of remembering to pay your rent?

Just asking …

Edit:

BTW – I too appreciate a number of Deckard’s posted articles even though I must also “search the back story to get a rounded view” as I search for truthful information.

It would be ever so nice if Deckard were to post the “truthful back story” to begin with – instead of the agenda driven ones he posts – to save us time and effort …

Just saying …

Gatlin has had this obsession with the articles …

I know of no one who will not admit that bod cops exist. For studies show that less than one percent of LEOs are bad cops. I also know of no one who does not want bad cops punished. But your barrage of consistently posting your bad cop articles does nothing to punish any of the bad cops – Absolutely nothing. If anything, it only punishes those who come here looking for enlightening news articles to read and comment on. It may even appear to some that your dedicated commitment to posting bad cop stories is your form of seeking absolution – a formal release from some guilt you may have. Who knows …

I don’t want you to stop posting articles. I honestly believe that your posting of articles may be the only thing keeping this forum alive and preventing it from fading into cyber oblivion. And we both would never want that to happen.

However, I must say that based on the evidence showing the limited number of comments you get on your articles – and in the majority of cases there are no comments – I feel that it would be more beneficial to the forum and everyone if instead of posting 4 bad cop articles in one day that you post one bad cop article every fourth day. And devote your time and effort to posting articles of varied interests – which you occasionally do, albeit that you limit most of those to anti-government hits.

You are recognizably the most prolific poster of articles on the forum. That is an asset to this forum in keeping it alive. But – for heaven/s sake, man – use that asset more wisely to make LF a better forum and possibly make yourself a better person by not constantly blowing out your pent-up emotion of hate.

MLFGA – You have the power to do it …

the lonely single response

I realize it's your advanced age catching up with you. You failed to make a correlation between the "Two checks for a thousand dollars or less spread over a couple months will not keep the wolves from the door", and the statistics concerning New York rent obligations coming due in about a week.

Do you often have a problem of remembering to pay your rent?

Me? Pay rent? The only rent I pay is the property tax on a little home in a cow pasture.

However, when NYC and other metro areas implode/explode the government will probably seize my cows and make me pay rent on them. Or perhaps some crooked cops will decide they need to feed their families with my beef.

Either way, the food my cows produce will not be enough to feed you there in the gated community (asylum) where you are currently being housed. You should begin to worry a little when you see your guards (caregivers) running away:-)

I hope it doesn't come to that, Gatlin. Starvation, I mean. The world desperately needs old gaffers like you, full of wit and wisdom.

Most of the articles you posted have no comments – While a small number have only very few.

People often read articles here without making comments, especially when they agree with what is said.

I post the same articles at other sites, getting more responses than here.

Seems to me you are the only one complaining.

Gatlin: Most of the articles you posted have no comments – While a small number have only very few.

Deckard: People often read articles here without making comments, especially when they agree with what is said.

How can you possibly come up with this unbelievable rationale for which there is no logical basis?

Using your thought process, it can just as easily be surmised – based on your scanty evidence – that “people did not make comments, especially because they felt the article was all bullshit and full of lies.

Do you ever have the ability to arrive at a reasonable conclusion – one that is made based on analyzing a variety of data and record sources and then properly using these to come to the most likely scenario based on the evidence provided?

I fear not …

I ask once again that you please be more specific and tell everyone exactly how “living [your] life free pf fear” in any way will “help prevent the spread of the Chinese coronavirus?”

I can't make it any simpler than that for you. Shopping in the wee hours when there are fewer people, which is something I have always done.

Work - home - work, same as I always have.

I refuse to be frightened by the media who are promoting the coronapocalypse bullshit.

One thing that brings a smile to my face is your stock portfolio going in the crapper.

The fact that you disagree with every article I post tells me I'm on the right track by posting them.

This site would be dead if I didn't post articles.

Understand this: You are NOT the arbiter of what gets posted here - you don't own the site, so your whining is pointless.

Seems to me you are the only one complaining.

Furthermore, it may be of value for you to learn that acknowledging feelings is very healthy, it's good for a person physiologically and it's good for a person’s emotional health. The key to complaining that capitalizes on constructive potential is mindfulness – which means acknowledging what you're doing, why, and the effect it's expected to have on others.

The fact that you disagree with every article I post tells me I'm on the right track by posting them.

How frail – So weak …

This site would be dead if I didn't post articles.

Pay attention …

Understand this: You are NOT the arbiter of what gets posted here …

Now, you understand this clearly: I will continue to express my opinions and make suggestions as long as Stone permits me to do so.

- you don't own the site …

… so your whining is pointless.

And from all indications by you – it forever will be that way with you …

I’m no fool and I didn’t just get off of the turnip wagon. As I have stated before, I fully retired to Scottsdale at age 41 and the only thing I have done since then is to continue to work the market.

This is the greatest buying opportunity I have seen in my over 50 years trading stock. But it must be done with caution and dollar cost averaged over a period of time. As the market increases – and it of course will at some time – then accelerate the amount of your dollar cost averaging buy in.

You’re costing m money right now – Gotta go …

One thing that brings a smile to my face is your stock portfolio going in the crapper.

The emotion of pleasure in others' misfortune (Schadenfreude in German) is generally regarded as morally evil. It is often considered to be less acceptable than envy, which is regarded as a deadly sin. It would appear to be morally more perverse to be pleased with another person's misfortune than to be displeased with another person's good fortune. Indeed Arthur Schopenhauer argues that to feel envy is human, but to enjoy other people's misfortune is diabolical. For Schopenhauer, pleasure in others' misfortune is the worst trait in human nature, since it is closely related to cruelty. I believe that once we understand better this emotion, it becomes more natural and acceptable. (See also Portmann, When Bad Things Happen to Other People.)

In describing pleasure in others' misfortune, two features are not disputable: our pleasure and the other's misfortune. These features describe a significant conflict between our positive evaluation of the situation and the negative evaluation of the other person. This conflict indicates the presence of a comparative, and sometimes even a competitive, concern. A major reason for being pleased with the misfortune of another person is that this person's misfortune may somehow benefit us; it may, for example, emphasize our superiority.

It is not sufficient to characterize pleasure in others' misfortune as including our pleasure and the other's misfortune. I would like to suggest three additional typical characteristics: (a) the other person is perceived to deserve the misfortune, (b) the misfortune is relatively minor, and (c) we are passive in generating the other's misfortune.

(a) A central feature of pleasure in others' misfortune is the belief that the other person deserves her misfortune. For example, when stuck in a traffic jam, should a driver pass us on our right by driving on the hard shoulder, our anger will be replaced by pleasure when we see a policeman giving the driver a ticket. The belief that the other person deserves his misfortune expresses our assumption that justice has been done and enables us to be pleased in a situation where we seem required to be sad. Moreover, this belief presents us as moral people who do not want to hurt others. The more deserved the misfortune is, the more justified is the pleasure. Norman Feather shows in a study of people's attitude toward the downfall of those in high positions that the fall was greeted with positive approval when the fall was seen to be deserved, but reactions were negative when the fall was seen to be undeserved.

(b) Another characteristic of pleasure in others' misfortune concerns the minor nature of the misfortune. This characteristic is associated with the comparative concern prevailing in this emotion. Comparison is possible when the two parties are not too far apart when they are considered to belong to the same comparative framework. Accordingly, pleasure in others' misfortune is concerned with small differences. When the misfortune is severe, pleasure in others' misfortune often turns into pity. For example, should our noisy, inconsiderate, and snobbish neighbor find out that his wife is having an affair, we may feel some pleasure; however, if his daughter becomes seriously ill, we are more likely to feel compassion or pity. We can admit that in some circumstances the other's misfortune may be grave, but it is still not significantly graver than that caused by this person to other people—especially ourselves and those related to us. Some may be pleased when a brutal dictator is murdered, as many Romanians were when Ceau_escu was executed, because such a murder seems well-deserved given what Ceau_escu did to his people.

(c) Pleasure in others' misfortune is associated with the passivity of the agent enjoying the situation. Active personal involvement is contrary to the rules of fair competition; it would present us as deliberately harming the other, and hence as not being the real winner in the ongoing competition. It may also be considered an offense; although the other person might deserve misfortune, or even punishment, we lack the authority to impose it. Typically, one of the greater contributions to the pleasure we take in others' misfortune is the feeling that the failure of our competitor is not due to our own wicked behavior. It is as if justice has been done in the spirit of the Talmudic saying: "The tasks of the righteous get done by others." This is a kind of unsolicited gift.

Some people identify pleasure in others' misfortune with sadism, arguing that the difference between them is negligible and pleasure in others' misfortune involves hate and cruelty. It is true that pleasure in others' misfortune often has such a public image, but this merely represents extreme and nontypical cases. The above three characteristics of pleasure in others' misfortune are absent in sadism: The punishment is not deserved, it is not minor, and we actively participate in it. An interesting study on unrequited love indicates that contrary to the stereotype of the rejector as a sadistic heartbreaker, rejectors do not enjoy this experience and experience negative emotions, such as guilt and regret. In their verbal and nonverbal behavior, most rejectors try to minimize the hurt that they cause the other.

There would seem to be little in common between romantic love, which involves a positive attitude toward the beloved, and the negative attitude of pleasure in others' misfortune. However, it can be present when the misfortune is very minor and the partner responds to the misfortune humorously or by teasing—a response that is part of a loving relationship, as are other types of games. It is, however, more common in loving relationships when a third party is involved, or when the romantic relationships failed. Consider the following case described a student: "Last winter, I had a lover, who had this awful girlfriend. Some days after I had an aching throat, I heard them talking on the phone, and she was surprised to discover she did not feel well and that her throat ached. Well, the smile on my face was not easy to conceal." In another case, Inga is joyful over the infidelity of Kate's husband Richard, since Kate used to be her own husband's lover. Kate may suffer a great deal because of Richard's infidelity, and Inga may know it; nevertheless, in enjoying this event, Inga thinks that justice has been done and that Kate's suffering resembles her own, thus putting them on equal footing. In such cases, the other's misfortune may be substantial, but it is not much greater than what used to be, or may still be, our own misfortune. Here punishment also fits, and in no way exceeds, the crime, and we can continue to believe that justice has been done.

Sometimes the profound pain of losing a lover may generate pathological attitude which is even worse than pleasure in others' misfortune. A real example like this is that of a man whose wife had an affair, and as a result, they divorced. The wife married her lover, and shortly afterward, gave birth to a son. A few years later when the child developed cancer, the man expressed pleasure that his ex-wife had been punished. This is a pathological case, since not only is the wife's misfortune far too severe, but the misfortune is shared by an innocent child.

When we consider pleasure in others' misfortune as pertaining to minor misfortunes and involving our belief that justice has been done, and we are not responsible for eliciting the misfortune, then this emotion is not so reprehensible from a moral point of view. The conventional view, which severely condemns pleasure in others' misfortune, stems from considering cruelty and sadism as prototypical cases of this emotion. We have seen that this view is mistaken.

How Coronavirus Cases in The U.S. Are Going to Explode Out of Nowhere

When?

I realize it's your advanced age catching up with you.

There was a time that scientists thought the brain connections would develop at a fast pace in the first few years of life, and continue until you reached your mental peak in your early 20s. It was thought that your cognitive abilities would somehow level off when you reached middle age – and then start to slowly decline. Science has now proven this is definitely not true – for scientists now see the brain is continuously changing and developing across our entire life span.

Your gratuitous comment was uncalled for and definitely lacking any sound reasoning. It was therefore unwarranted and if anything, it was only your poor attempt to try to be sarcastic. “Sarcasm isn't an attitude - It's an art .” It can be developed – work at it …

Gatlin: Do you often have a problem of remembering to pay your rent?

Watchman: Me? Pay rent? The only rent I pay is the property tax on a little home in a cow pasture.

That reminds me...rent is due in nine days.

You're the one who brought my "lonely single response" on another thread all the way over to this thread. And now you wish me to explain my "lonely single response" to that article here on this thread, too.

Dear Gatlin, I'm concerned about your mental state in this time of worldwide pandemic. Dozens of people, mostly old people with bad lungs, are dying at an alarming rate.

And what about your immune system? Haven't you weakened it enough as you fret, and obsess, and stress over articles that Deckard posts here?

I hope and pray it doesn't happen, but if you don't calm yourself, you are going to give yourself that corona virus. And right before you cough up your tattered lungs and expire, in your delirium you will probably be shouting, "Deckard! Deckard!"

Then, of course, your next of kin will want to know why "Deckard" was the last earthly word you spoke. They'll search your computer, find this forum, deduce that your password is GATLINISKING (all in uppercase letters). Then, oh boy, the rest of us here will have the unenviable task of explaining to those loved ones of yours...that which is completely un-explainable.
