LESSON for January 29, 2021 – “SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!”
From time to time, economic circumstances permitting, Don Jones
ventures forth into the local WalMart or goes online
and orders up a brand new Cabinet in which to store
his stuff when said stuff is not particularly needed. Unless he wants to pay a heavy premium, said
Cabinet (whether manufactured in Sweden or good ol’
North Carolina) will come with a little piece of paper as says: “Some assembly
required.”
This often means a lot of trouble.
(See Attachment Ten)
Sometimes, the cabinetmakers skimp on shelf brackets (twelve for
$2.44 at the W, but they’re metal!) and require Don to employ a complicated
array of screws and bevels and hornigobblets which
often… on the cheaper models… sluice through the pressboard and render a shelf
or sideboard useless (the former can sometimes be gerrymandered into
semi-functionality by resting it upon tall books or boxes or whatever of
approximately equal height at either end of the shelf). It may not look as pretty as the pictures on
the website, but it’ll do the trick if not jiggled too much.
For Americans (particularly of the eternally-frustrated left),
Joe’s jury-rigged cabinet… confirmed and awaiting… is just another cold bucket
of water in the face after the deep statements of Obama, Clinton, Carter and
going back all the way to FDR’s first term.
The ostensible advantage is that no sane American… not even a
Republican… would toss off the lessons of Ossoff and
Warnock and Uncle Joe himself, hoist itself up on its hind legs and vote down
the first African-American DefSec or first female
Treasurer, both eminently qualified, not just Q-bait as some recommended Joe do
by appointing a crimson dragon to one of the lesser posts and allowing the
Guilty Old Party to reject it and, so, save face and enable the “healing”
process to begin.
But no. Republicans (not
unlike the hardcore “wokers”) are not sane. And if not pacified with a patsy to plague
unto death, they’ll just express their ire at Impeach Two and train their fire
on any old Joe-thing… be it the first African-American DefSec
(See Attachment Twelve), a gay transit guy, or the unidentified “progressive
groups” whom the BBC (otherwise noting the potential cabinet diversity… See
Attachment Thirteen) found to be demanding the entire exclusion of the white
race from the cabinet… particularly the un-winkened Anthony Blinken (State) appointed by President Nod or the boll
weevil Tom Vilsack (Agriculture).
It’s all about revenge... “too much and never enough” to
paraphrase Mary Trump. And if
confirmation denial or delay hurts or even… in the case of some of Joe’s health
and security-related appointees… kills Americans, well, they shouldn’t have let
the rigged election proceed in the first place.
As one of “Souljacker’s” nastiest
graphic novels asserts… “Vinjince is Mine, saith Me!”
The problem with revenge is that there are so many competing
interest groups crying out for retribution that, as far as Cabinet positions
go, somebody is going to be disappointed.
And those somebodies will be telling Uncle Joe: “You’re a racist.” (See Attachment Nine) And maybe those on the left might
persuade a Senator or two to join Josh Hawley and Mike Lee and scuttle the nominee…
embarrassing on some positions, lethal on others.
Fortunately for the bluestaters,
unfortunately for the reds, the hyperpartisanship
that the last four years has engendered will linger on, like the odor of a dead
skunk in the crawlspace beneath the baby’s room long after the critter is
detected and removed. So, while a Mitt
or Murkowski or even a TV flopping fish cat toy like Susan Collins might make
an occasional yell of support for a Yellin or an Austin, not even a
conservative Democrat like Joe Manchin (WVa) or Sinema or Tester is likely to give the Party of Trump
succor by voting down one third-tier administrator or another, just dealing out
tit… like their adversaries do… for tat.
And there are a lot of maulings and
clawing goings on among the lower tiers of the Deep State that began in early
November, probably thanks to the perceptions of gridlock at the top. (See Attachment Eleven)
So let’s take a look at the week gone
past with… in a prelude to the week looming forward… select articles from the Articles
of Impeachment (Part Deux) from, of all places, Al Jazeera!

President Joe gives America a cold shower: “Let me
be very clear; things are going to get worse before they get better.” As on: Q-Anon Rep. Greene (R-Ga) filing
articles of impeachment on him the day after he takes office. As on: Florida running out of second shots,
New York running out of vaxxes altogether and new
strains proliferating which, says Dr. Agus, will
make casualties soar. Boris Johnson
says UK variant 30% more deadly, South Africa’s even more lethal. Mitchy says Joe’s first day in office is “a big step in
the wrong direction,” SecPress Psaki replie “we’ll figure out what the sausage looks like when
it comes out of the machine.”
Consequently, Biden sets the Defense Production Act into motion. With
nobody caring about N95 mask supplies, some docs tout double masking and the
CDC says that second doses of a different vax are better than nothing. Angry women
emerge from White House woodwork to accuse E-POTUS Trump of sex crimes, but Repubs still threaten Joe with cabinet votedows if the impeachment proceeds. 7,000 National Guardsmen remain in D.C. –
some are kicked out of the Capitol by bureaucrats and forced to sleep in a
freezing parking garage. Oh yes…
Hank Aaron dies and Tom Brokaw retires. “Resolved,
That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be
exhibited to the United States Senate… |

President Joe’s list of EO’s reaches 30. Repubs say he’s
checking off items on the wish list of the Far Left, but Mitch and Schumer
cut a deal to delay Impeach II to February 8th to get at least
part of his cabinet confirmed. Deputy SecPress Karine Jean-Pierre
states that everyone from Hawley to the Bern supports Stim Three (despite
repeated GOP denials and the Arizona legislature censuring Cindy McCain and
others who unfriended Their President.) Dr. Birx breathes the fresh air of liberty after escaping the
gaggings by Djonald’s
bodyguard of lies, but, after 200 police and Guardsmen get it, those sent
home after their socially undistant nights of
huddling together for warmth are our new Super Spreaders. Cold storage wars break out between state
and local vaccine depots and overwhelmed morticians as Dr. Agus calls the distribution mechanism “a crime”. Broadcaster
Larry King joins Hammerin’ Hank up in the airm somewhere. “The Constitution provides that the House of
Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the
President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment, for, and Conviction
of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Further,
section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits any person who
has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States from
“hold[ing] and office … under the United States.’” |

Failed Presidential candidate and
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Ca), rehabilitated (or maybe not?) as Chair of Impeach
Two, scoffs at “unity” and calls Trump our “Enabler in Chief” as the liberal
New York Times and backstabbing Wall Street Journal both report on Djonald’s scheme to replace acting DOJ cipher Jeffrey
Rosen with acting acting
toady Jeffrey Clarke and overturn the election. Ragin’ Rahm Emanuel finds that old,
vengeful religion – says that wounds in the body politic have to be
“cleansed” (with bleach?) before stitching while more revelations about
E-POTUS rigging plague data spew from the lips of Dr. Birx
while Little Marco (Rubio… remember him?) defends his Big Daddy by warning
Don Jones not to pour more gasoline on a “flaming fire.”
Abidingly skeptical of bleach, docs recommend plague victims gulp Mucinex, Pedialyte
and get plenty of bed rest; Dr. Jah admits the vaxxing
had “a bit of a botched rollout”, dead and dying teachers spark strikes and
calls to revert to online-only schooling and big capacity events (like Miami
Heat b-ball games) are using dogs to sniff out infected ticketholders. “There’s a lot of science behind it,”
advocates advocates. “In his conduct while President of the United States – and
in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of
President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve,
provide, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and in
violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully
executed – Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by
inciting violence against the Government of the United States, in that…” |

It’s
National Bubble Wrap Day. New CDC
Director Walensky promises “transparency” on
vaccine availability while the first case of the Brazilian Variant emerges in
Miami. President Joe extends travel
taboo to Brazil, UK and South Africa… also to Ireland and 26 Eurofection nations while Dr. Fauci
condemns visitors from countries “where the mutant is dominant”. Abroad, Israel also cancels all
international travel, Dutchmen riot against new lockdowns and Mexican
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador gets
it. Ex-President Trump hires unknown lawyers
after Rudy, Dersh and Sekulow
say no-no… Democratic Senate tiejority ousts
Justice Roberts as Presiding Judge on grounds he has no jurisdiction over
former officials. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt)
will be wielding the gavel when proceedings start next week. “…President Trump repeatedly
issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were
the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American
people or certified by State or Federal officials. Shortly before the Joint
Session commenced (on
Jan. 6th), President Trump,
addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. There, he reiterated
false claims that “we won this election, and we won it by a landslide.” He
also willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged – and foreseeably
resulted in – lawless action at the Capitol, such as: ‘if you don’t fight
like hell you’re not going to have a country any more.’” |

No sooner
are all one hundred Senators sworn in to begin Impeach Two trial by going
back to work as Cabinet confirmers or denialists than Presiding Judge Leahy (the
stated cause was “abundance of caution” . The Senators go back to work and confirm
former Fed Reserve Chair Janet Yellin as SecTreas. The count of Republicans partial to
conviction on Impeach Two still stands at five, twelve short,
and 23 of Biden’s now-33 EO’s reverse Trump EO’s. Check that… 38 (including tearing up
contracts for private prisons. Joe’s clearly had his morning joe. He promises two shots for every American
adult by “summer”, and dials up Putin.
They agree on new nuke talks, disagree on Navalny and electoral cyberhacking. New plague threats emerge. Variants may be vax-proof and, if not,
there’s a dire shortage of needles and syringes. Mobilize den junkies! The global death toll climbs over a
million. “Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had
addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint
Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020
Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol,
injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress,
the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other
violent, deadly, destructive and seditious acts.” |

DOJ cuts Capitol invasion suspect count in half, to
400… 135 of whom are being processed for trials. Sen. Leahy released from hospital… false
alarm!... but, with Impeach Two on hold, Senators confirm SecState
Blinken 78-22.
Rep. Taylor-Greene (R-Qa) advocates
executing Pelosi, who calls her The Enemy Within (prompting Rep. Ro Khanna
(D-Calif.) to issue an expulsion resolution for same and for her assertions
that the Las Vegas massacre was a conspiracy by… somebody. Loyal and deserting QA cultists forming
rival support groups (like for drunks and Moonies). FBI arrests bleached blond bomber –
Michigan Governor kidnap plotter rats out his comerades. Ex-HomeSec czar
Chertoff proposes replacing First Amendment with more laws against “hate”
speech that talking heads attribute to “perceived grievances fueled by false narraties”. Rep. Jackie
Speier (D-Ca), a Jonestown survivor, compares Trump to Jim Jones and Charlie
Manson (without even mentioning the “family”). Djonald’s ex-You-Nster Nikki Haley whines: “Give the man (T) a break.” January now
the deadliest plague month – FEMA calls in military to help give out shots
and the media now promising: “Dire Months
Ahead!” Panic hiring of college
kids to plan and enact vaxxing turns tragic. CDC says masks protect schoolkids, but not
teachers. Mardi Gras cancelled and CDC
recommends cancelling all school sports, esp. wrestling. DEA worries that bored, anxious Joneses are
turning to meth and fentanyl, WSJ that they are taking up day trading. But Dr. Jah exults: by summer we’ll have
more vaxxes “than we know what to do with.” “President Trump’s conduct on January 6, 2021, followed
his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the results of
the 2020 Presidential election. Those prior efforts included a phone call on
January 2, 2021, during which President Trump urged the secretary of state of
Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” enough votes
to overturn the Georgia Presidential election results and threatened
Secretary Raffensperger if he failed to do so.” |

But with
vaccine supplies now either gone or locked up in storage for mysterious
and/or nefarious purposes, President Joe predicts 90,000 deaths in February
(CDC slightly more optimistic – only 85,000).
His EOutput up to 40, including Obamacare
strengthening and $15 minwage, gladdening the
Bern. Homeland Security issues Panic Alert…
right-wing extremists are plotting mass massacres over the weekend NOW! and
AGAINST YOU!!! For proof, they trot out an “angry lone
wolf” who raves and rages: “I want to blow up a Democrat building real bad!” (fortunately, no people, and not even waiting for
impeachment of his non-Presidential guru to begin). Less than two weeks ‘til Impeach Two,
moderate Dems and Reps float a deal to censure-only as fleeing Trump officeholders
seek lobbying jobs and backwalking Rep. McCarthy
(R-Ca) walks back his walkback and hastens to
Mar-a-Lago at His Master’s Voice to plot QaRevolution
(and maybe play golf). Two South Carolinians found to have the
South African variant, prompting a travel ban beginning Saturday (hurry up,
all youse Spreaders). Said variant is now raging in 31 countries
– Dr. Fauci worries that it’s vax-resistent, if not vax-proof and more states cut off vax
tourism at the border. U.K. renames their variant CV-117. GMA’s Michael Strahan gets it. “In
all this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United
States and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the
democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and
imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as
President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. “Wherefore, Donald John
Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to
national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in
office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance
and the rule of law. Donald John Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial,
removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of
honor, trust, or profit under the United States.” |

Last week, we noted
that the stock market… which Mister Trump vowed would collapse under President
Joe, “soared to new heights.” This week,
it crashed under a deluge of day trading, hedge antifunding (the antifoos?) short selling shorties
in their mothers’ basements. Goaded into
gambling by social media sites like BBettor (no, that’s
Melania’s) and servers like the formerly alt-right (but now, merely alt-market)
Reddit, hordes of kids and chaos-merchants pumped up the value of downer stocks
like Game Stop and AMC theaters to such extent that the rest of the markets
tumbled, and continued to do so today… losing six hundred points more over
their Thursday close.
A few alarmists,
gold bugs, hedge hogs and such have warned that this could be the impetus for
another 2008-like crash (and wouldn’t Mister Trump, awaiting impeachment and
probably worse down in Florida enjoy that show!) What conspiracy theories about reptilian
aliens and rigged ballots failed to accomplish (because the revolutionaries
forgot to bring that one vital component to any popular coup… guns), a
wasteland of destroyed retirement and savings accounts, fiscally ruined
hospitals, corporations and state and local governments without access to
Chinese or Deutsche Bank loans may just provide enough impetus and warm bodies
(no longer afraid of becoming cold) can accomplish.
Most everybody
agreed that 2020 was America’s worst year since… pick one: 1941, 1918, 1865,
1814 or, for the really nativist few, 1620 or 1492. Now, it seems like 2021 is out to prove most
everybody wrong. Of course, it may just
be waiting out a measure of time while better times are being assembled.

Days upon us: anti-gay church blown up.
Two more Capitol policemen commit suicide in Washington (city);
Washington (state) cops work out frustrations by running over attendees of a
“Street Sideshow” in Tacoma. Denver
teens set fire to Senegalise immigrants. Denver doc dying of cancer guns down some
other doc in Austin because… well… he was afraid of dying alone? |

South L.A. racks up 59 shootings in first two weeks of 2021. California hackers steal 11M from unemployment
assistance funds; fake vax scams spiking due to “snake oil salesmen” and
appointment brokers to the rich, the new “Varsity Sick” parasites. (DJI predicts more Hollywood and Wall
Street bigveins, politicians and vaccine influence
peddlers will soon be identified, tried and marched off to jail to join
Mister Loughlin, see Justice, below).
Federal employees discovered stealing millions in Covid
cash – so far. |

President Joe
joins SecPress Psaki in hiring sign language
interpreter for speeches, then finds her to be a QAnon
subversive. He also signs an EO to end
the military transgender ban. DoD
legalizes earrings and lipstick (presumably for female military, but who
knows?). Blacks and Latinos still get
three times more plague and three times less vaxxes
(lack of cars or public transit cited, but not lack of internet access for
online-only registration). Three black
teens wrongly targeted at California Target store while Target bans coconut
milk imported from countries that exploit monkey labor. Woke fans propose renaming Atlanta Baseball
Team the Hammers (to honor Aaron, not Armie). |

The Don Jones Index for the week
of January 22nd through January 28th, 2021 was DOWN
6.87 points. The Don Jones Index is sponsored by the Coalition
for a New Consensus: retired Congressman and Independent Presidential
candidate Jack “Catfish” Parnell, Chairman; Brian Doohan,
Administrator/Editor. The CNC denies,
emphatically, allegations that the organization, as well as any of its
officers (including former Congressman Parnell,
environmentalist/America-Firster Austin Tillerman and cosmetics CEO Rayna
Finch) and references to Parnell’s works, “Entropy and Renaissance” and “The
Coming Kill-Off” are fictitious or, at best, mere pawns in the web-serial
“Black Helicopters” – and promise swift, effective legal action against
parties promulgating this and/or other such slanders. Comments, complaints, donations (especially SUPERPAC
donations) always welcome at feedme@generisis.com

Note: Cabinet-level officials have positions that are considered
to be of Cabinet level, but which are not heads of the executive departments.
Which exact positions that are considered to be cabinet-level varies with each
president. Biden has announced he will elevate four positions to Cabinet-level,
while removing the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Instead,
