Yes, this could be Orinoco Outlaw <i>MDXXLXXI</i> but this is a good one: back in 2020 <a href="https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2020/03/orinoco-outlaw_26.html" target="_blank">I mentioned that</a> the US Government posted <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/nicol-s-maduro-moros-and-14-current-and-former-venezuelan-officials-charged-narco-terrorism" target="_blank">a 15 million dollar</a> reward against "<i>Nicolás Maduro Moros and 14 Current and Former Venezuelan Officials Charged with Narco-Terrorism, Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Criminal Charges</i>". <div><br /></div><div>This week - after creeping up slowly to 25 million - <b>it has just been doubled</b> by Marco Rubio the US Secretary of State to a cool <b><span style="color: #38761d;">FIFTY</span></b> million. <i>"The Department of State and the Department of Justice are announcing a reward offer increase of up to $50 million under the Narcotics Rewards Program (NRP) for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro for violating U.S. narcotics laws."</i> </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm a bit late to this excellent news as I was crossing the Atlantic when it was announced but the reasons are plain and simple: <blockquote><span style="font-family: Inconsolata;">"Since 2020, Maduro has strangled democracy and grasped at power in Venezuela.

The best (IMHO, LOL) was from just under 12 years ago, <a href="https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/obamas-offspring-ii.html" target="_blank">Sept 2013</a>. Also, considering the current revelations, we knew immediately in Trump's first term about the Obama '<a href="https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2017/02/obama-obvallate-ofa-operations.html" target="_blank">stay behind army</a>' of activists and agitators in the US governing apparatus. </div><div><br /></div><div>This blogpost is all words of others, the ever excellent Mikki Willis of <a href="https://plandemic.com/" target="_blank">Plandemic</a> fame (<a href="https://mikkiwillis.com/" target="_blank">mikkiwillis.com</a>) and hat-tip to Robert W Malone's Substack: <a href="https://www.malone.news/p/my-tribe-is-small" target="_blank">My Tribe is Small</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is a <a href="https://www.malone.news/i/169389794/during-obamas-presidency" target="_blank">handy list</a> of Obama's "<i>'accomplishments.'

Look at these nefarious, heart-stopping, spine-chilling quotes:</div><div><br />Orbán: "<i>it is the mindset of Western elites that prevents us from even being able to identify the most important challenge we face: the question of demography. Instead of this, politics is preoccupied with how to enforce carbon quotas in the economy and gender quotas in society</i>". <b>Evil personified, clearly! </b></div><div><br /></div><div>Meloni: "<i>For decades, the dominant culture said that having a child was likely to be incompatible with many other choices; that having a child compromised your freedom, your career, your dreams and in some cases even your beauty…</i>". <b>Such depravity is hard to fathom.</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>German AfD party: "<i>The federal government is fighting so-called climate change with billions. Let’s instead fight the demographic catastrophe with investments in children and families.</i>" <b>Oh the horror!</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Farage: "<i>of course we need higher birth rates but we’re not going to get higher birth rates in this country until we can get some sense of optimism</i>". <b>What heinous witchcraft is this?!
</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Another series of quotes they also repeat as if they are a bad thing, such as "<i>by scaring the youth into mental imbalance a part of adolescence and trust in society is destroyed... I feel bad for them, since they are having a part of their lives destroyed</i>" and "<i>We need to take children and the youth's psychological health seriously, and all the fear-mongering they are hearing may put them on benefits while still young</i>". </div><div><br /></div><div>To any sane person both these things are patently true but to the GEJ 'children are framed as vulnerable and in need of protection from an environmentalist elite and biased media that are only pushing one side of the debate'. Well, yes, they are! Have you seen the mental health and suicide stats FFS?
Of course, as you'd expect, they end with the obvious: <blockquote><span style="font-family: Inconsolata;">"These regimes declared themselves as representing the 'youth of the nation'. Benito Mussolini’s government, for example, promised to 'make way for youth', while Adolf Hitler famously declared that 'whoever has the youth has the future".</span></blockquote><p>Amusingly the article's summary could be summarised as 'make way for youth' LOL. The complete irony with which they finish is beyond parody: "<i>Our educational systems must equip the youth with the tools for the sort of critical thinking that today’s polarised politics requires</i>" [facepalm]...</p><p>Why the fuck do you think we're in the mess we're in you dickwads?</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Any comments or questions re articles or images on Owsblog please contact Span Ows direct: spanows@gmail.com</div>Span Owshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10144861546996033462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16962681.post-27675536003339278722024-11-08T19:09:00.002+00:002024-11-08T19:09:41.898+00:00Outright outing of Obama...<hr />...and thanks to mike flynn in the comments <a href="https://unherd.com/2024/11/how-trump-crushed-obamas-legacy/" target="_blank">HERE</a> for the title! <div><br /></div><div><b>How Trump crushed Obama’s legacy</b>, <i>The president-elect rides the cowboy spirit</i> by <a href="https://unherd.com/2024/11/how-trump-crushed-obamas-legacy/" target="_blank">David Samuels</a> writing for <a href="https://unherd.com/" target="_blank">Unherd</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Reminded me to read back <a href="https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2017/02/obama-obvallate-ofa-operations.html" target="_blank">my own attempt</a> from early 2017 about Trump's 2016 administration being plagued by Obama's 'stay behind army', which in turn led me to <a href="https://owsblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/obamas-offspring-ii.html" target="_blank">Obama's offspring II</a>...

Kier Starmer could have made it, he could have built on the [nauseatingly] choreographed 'hit the ground running' start to his PM-ship but he blew it big time; in the most obvious and predicted way (by just about everyone with their 'buzz word bingo card' handy, <a href="https://x.com/span_ows/status/1819004920877457609" target="_blank">I was correct</a> on a couple of the main points). <div><br /></div><div>It is exactly as <a href="https://frankhaviland.substack.com/" target="_blank">Frank Haviland</a> says in his latest article on <a href="https://thenewconservative.co.uk/starmer-picks-a-side/" target="_blank">The New Conservative</a>: <b>Starmer Picks a Side.</b><div><i><br /></i></div><div>
<i>"...Starmer who has painted himself as the leader for our times would surely have brought his finest pallette and brush to the lectern? Certainly, he did. And no doubt for the faithful, his painting by numbers routine did the job."
<i>For those of us on the other side of the political divide however – the tens of millions of small ‘c’ conservative, closed-borders fetishist, ‘far-right’ thugs, with ridiculous aspirations that our daughters might be permitted to live –<b> his performance was even worse than expected.</b></i> </i> [my emphasis]
<blockquote><span style="font-family: Inconsolata;"> "Rather than oratory for the ages, I’d call this dereliction of duty – a textbook display of obfuscation, memorable only for what was not said, rather than that which was. There was no mention of ‘children’, ‘protection’, ‘border security’, ‘failed multiculturalism’ or ‘integration’. The idea that this speech will install calm, reassure the public, or prevent future atrocities is about as close to zero as you can get. This was about Starmer doing what he does best: reassuring those who vote the right way, and blaming the response to crime, rather than the crime itself."</span></blockquote>
And like Frank writes to summarise, many I predicted that 'Labour’s honeymoon would be short-lived' – "<i>it’s now officially over.</i>" Spot on.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Silkie Carlo, Director of <a href="https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/press-releases/big-brother-watch-responds-to-prime-ministers-plan-for-increased-use-of-facial-recognition/" target="_blank">Big Brother Watch</a> said:</div><div><span style="font-family: Inconsolata;"><blockquote>"It’s deeply worrying that the Prime Minister totally failed to address the causes of the violent, racist thuggery we have witnessed in Britain this week, let alone his failure to even address the causes of the heinous knife crime that has cruelly taken so many lives. To promise the country ineffective AI surveillance in these circumstances was frankly tone deaf and will give the public absolutely no confidence that this government has the competence or conviction to get tough on the causes of these crimes and protect the public."</blockquote></span></div>

And 2022 is in fact 11% higher under the new method.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1CduR61iLqtbypfwfghR_z9omvzSQpnEYh5LgHiqdygJvYZTBKbvLgnNJ5KQ7Ptv-CgGKfpCRnoKUBQhpSBgFQsf46oWRFzaaZNlDRE9fz3Fc8yCffxU9MYlm9WcQbb1-nWY5GQSd5cJ0zTO4L8zy0dHhrrTFIBC3Gk8PLqdSazvhpTNhuFb36g/s746/COVID-19%20UK%20vax%20ONS%20recorded%20excess%20deaths%202020-23.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="334" data-original-width="746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1CduR61iLqtbypfwfghR_z9omvzSQpnEYh5LgHiqdygJvYZTBKbvLgnNJ5KQ7Ptv-CgGKfpCRnoKUBQhpSBgFQsf46oWRFzaaZNlDRE9fz3Fc8yCffxU9MYlm9WcQbb1-nWY5GQSd5cJ0zTO4L8zy0dHhrrTFIBC3Gk8PLqdSazvhpTNhuFb36g/s600/COVID-19%20UK%20vax%20ONS%20recorded%20excess%20deaths%202020-23.png" width="600" /></a></div>
If you look at the previous five years to 2020 it is even more interesting: before that the numbers were low-ish and irregular, up and down, but from 2015 (see <span style="color: red;"><b>red box</b></span> in image below) they were consistently much, much higher: <b>115,102</b> over the five years (2015-2019).

After all, now, with this new method we have over half the 2020 excess 'explained away' due to ultra low 2019 excess deaths...why would they want that?
