Robert Bigelow is DeSantis’ biggest donor

Now that is a shocking revelation.

The government will soon have the power to shut your car down remotely

Our vehicles are increasingly resembling prisons, total surveillance zones that control and own you, rather than vice versa. Car manufacturers now include technology in their vehicles that allow them to collect data on their drivers, track their movements, and in some cases record audio and video. How did we come to accept this slow descent, to the point that now we are on the verge of giving total power of our ability to independently drive our vehicle to a government agency? Imagine if this power had existed during the COVID era. Anyone flouting pandemic restrictions would find their car bricked and undrive-able, thanks to an unelected fanatic working the bowels of a federal agency.

It should come as no surprise, really. When given a choice, most people will choose an easy and convenient slavery, to the relative uncertainty of freedom. Modern cars almost do the driving for you, and so many will sell a piece of their souls for that convenience. It’s a freedom from thinking that appears so desirable to the modern Neanderthal. The bleeps, bloops, flashing screens, and high-tech light shows that appeal to the ape. The convenience, married to the appearance of wealth, and being on the cutting edge. Of having the latest gadget. Keeping up with the Jones now means plugging oneself into the Matrix the quickest. The machines will never even have to force us, we’re doing it ourselves.

The carbureted big block, a pinnacle of automotive design, cannot be controlled remotely, but is rarely seen or heard these days. These engines can be built and maintained by almost anyone, but who would even take the time anymore? We have no idea what is under our hood, and it leaves room for government to act as the supreme totalitarian gearhead, performing a grotesque transmogrification on what should be a beautiful machine.

We must protect our freedom to drive, just as we must protect cash. The underlying principle is identical.

Education vs. intelligence

Are all of our problems directly related to the fact that the world is being run by high-educated dummies? This seems to be nearing a crisis. Not only is no one listened to who isn’t credentialed, but the very people making life-or-death decisions regarding public policy are extremely stupid.

Mass murderer Audrey Hale’s diary partially released

Hale was the young woman who shot through a glass door of a Nashville Christian school and stalked the halls for young children, killing six before being gunned down by the police. I’m going to begin labeling events likes this ‘possessor killings’, because it is one of many mass murders with too many similarities to other mass murders. I wonder, do the police have access to the handwriting of Hale from ten years ago? How about a comparison?

Who funds the extinctionists?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the “no oil” activists are also attacking priceless pieces of art. Whether subconsciously or not, they attack the foundation of civilization itself. Western culture and industry, our relatively civilized standard of living, everything that distinguishes us from animals, they hate, and so they make war against in a quadrupedal rage. Make no mistake, these nuts would see the human world burn, and us return to the mindless night of prehistory, in the false belief that it will lead us to a new Eden. But there is no Eden to go back to, no utopia. This happens to be probably the most dangerous notion that we as a species have ever harbored, and every attempt to chase the mirage of Eden has resulted in totalitarianism and mass death. But now, powerful people are indulging in this blind belief, and are funding acolytes and radicals to agitate for another vain attempt to strive for an earthly paradise. What we will get is what we’ve always got in the past: absolute power for a few, and Hell on earth for the rest.

The obituary of Michael Granata

Granata died on November 1st, 2021, at the age of 56. He and his family blame the Moderna COVID vaccine for his deteriorating health and, later, death. Here is his obituary in full:

Michael “Mike” Anthony Granata February 21, 1965 – November 1, 2021

 

Michael, a longtime resident of Gilroy, passed away on November 1, 2021.  Never a kinder more gentle man did I know than my husband, Michael.

 

For those who knew Mike, you know that he was a good and honest man.  He was kind, considerate, and always polite.

 

Mike was adamant that people know what happened to him that caused his early and unexpected death.  Message from Mike: “Many nurses and non-nursing staff begged me and my wife to get the truth out to the public about the Covid-19 vaccines because the truth of deaths from the vaccine was being hidden within the medical profession. I promised I would get the message out.  So, here is my message: I was afraid of getting the vaccine for fear that I might die. At the insistence of my doctor, I gave in to pressure to get vaccinated.  On August 17th I received the Moderna vaccine and starting feeling ill three days later. I never recovered but continued to get worse. I developed multisystem inflammation and multisystem failure that medical professionals could not stop. My muscles disappeared as if to disintegrate. I was in ICU for several weeks and stabbed with needles up to 24 times a day for those several weeks, while also receiving 6 or 7 IVs at the same time (continuously). It was constant torture that I cannot describe. I was no longer treated as a human with feelings and a life. I was nothing more than a covid vaccine human guinea pig and the doctors excited to participate in my fascinating progression unto death. If you want to know more, please ask my wife.  I wished I would have never gotten vaccinated. If you are not vaccinated, don’t do it unless you are ready to suffer and die.”

 

Mike did not deserve the pain and suffering he endured.  He was a good man and deserved better.

 

Mike was born in San Jose, California and moved to Gilroy at age one, where he resided for the last 55 years. 

 

Mike attended Las Animas Elementary and Gilroy High schools.  He graduated from both San Jose State University and Santa Clara University earning several scholastic degrees.

 

Mike was an intelligent man but never flaunted it.  Mike chose to clothe himself in humility, kindness and gentleness every day, and preferred to work quietly behind the scenes doing good deeds and expecting nothing in return.

 

Michael was a licensed professional engineer and the owner of Engineering By Design, Design Engineering and Professional Engineering and Design. For the last 10+ years Michael worked in the Marine industry utilizing his IP for design and engineering that is known and used worldwide.

 

Michael could be seen twice daily walking his Golden Retriever around the neighborhood or up at Gavilan College for the last 20+ years in his jeans, t-shirt and hat.

 

Michael was proud to be a gear-head, a true car restoration enthusiast and tinkerer.  

 

Mike loved spending time with his wife, his dog, his cars and playing the drums as he was quite a gifted musician.

 

Michael was preceded in death by his brothers Anthony Edward Granata and Salvatore Anthony Granata.

 

Michael is survived by his wife, Susie Granata of Gilroy, his parents Anthony and Elizabeth Granata of Morgan Hill; his sister Catherine Flowers (John) of Brentwood, CA; Nieces: Heather Trumbull (Christopher), Mindy Peterson (Ryan), Jeannene Brady, and Alyssa Granata, and great nephews and niece: Anthony and Trevor Peterson, and Karlie and Colin Trumbull.
