Consider Casting a Vote for the Counter-Corona Craze Party?

It’s called “Ometz“.

Here is their site.

Needless to say, I take no sides on voting in general or in particular.

Even if you assume they won’t get in and wish to make your voice heard, be aware there is still a certain risk.

As they themselves concede:

Note that even if a certain party does not pass the blocking percentage, the votes it received are not “thrown away” – as it is enough to receive 1% of the votes to win funding for the party’s current activities.

In the last election, this amount was 44,101 votes.

‘Everything in Moderation, INCLUDING Moderation’

William Lloyd Garrison, anti-slavery Abolitionist (Liberator, January 1, 1831):

I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire, to give a moderate alarm: tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — and I will be heard.

‘Tell Me, Where Can I Go?’ Won’t You Please Understand? Go to That Precious Promised Land!

Leo Fuld – Where Can I Go

Lyrics (found here):

[Yiddish…]

Tell me, where can I go?
There’s no place I can see.
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed for me.
To the left, to the right,
It’s the same in every land.
There is nowhere to go
And it’s me who should know,
Won’t you please understand?
Now I know where to go,
Where my folk proudly stand.
Let me go, let me go
To that precious promised land.
No more left, no more right,
Lift your head and see the light.
I am proud, can’t you see,
For at last I am free:
No more wandering for me.

Old Joke on Soviet Censorship, Nationalities UPDATED

As Putin said, woke America is copying the Soviets.

An American [Indian] visiting Soviet Russia [America] needed a tooth pulled, and was shocked to discover the astronomical price.

“Why so expensive for a basic tooth extraction?”

Well, answered the Russian [American] dentist, we have to go through the ear.

“Through the ear?!”

“Exactly. In Soviet Russia [America] these days no one is allowed to ‘open their mouth’, so we are forced to work through the ear…”

(I know. It presumably sounds better in Russian.)
