Vol.XVII • No.XLIII
Manchester, N.H.
You’d consider this an outright challenge, yes? It’s just begging you to try it. And this may be one of the reasons why TMEW has never entertained the idea of letting me get a motorcycle.
She just looked up at me when I asked, “Will you look at this for a moment”?
She looked at the image. Then she gave me “The Look.”
My attempt at trying to have a “look of innocence” flopped as badly as if I really had tried that moving ramp stunt.

Saturday, Oct 28, is shaping up to be a beautiful Fall day, with great weather, speakers, table vendors, food, free speech (a gun raffle), and conversation. All that’s missing, as they say, is you, and we’ve got some updates we hope will encourage you to join us.
We invited vendors and groups to take tables; we’ve got at least 18 of them. Eighteen tables so far and counting – with products or information for you, including books, handouts, and whatever other goodies they’ve planned to bring along.
We’ve updated the speakers list. Author and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is still our keynote, but we’ve added Michael Rectenwald. He is the author of Springtime for Snowflakes, Google Archipelago, and more – a White Tower Marxist who was canceled for daring to question one facet of the approved orthodoxy. He’s not with them anymore, but we’ve got him.
Get Your Tickets Today
Laurie Ortolano is speaking, fresh from picking up her Loeb School First Amendment Award (on Oct 26), as is the already-announced Hal Shurtleff, the Camp Constitution guru who won a 9-0 free speech case at the US Supreme Court.
Author and speaker Ian Underwood will also take some time at the podium.
Skip and Steve are still speaking if they let us, but we may have to give one scheduled speaker, Dan Richards, a pass. His business, Global Rescue, was already busy with the Ukraine “conflict” but has been working overtime since the Hamas attack on Israel. But we might be able to sneak in a Zoom call or a quick recorded message – we’re waiting for the final word, which may come that morning or during the event.
More…The Gun raffle ticket price is a steal—five dollars for one ticket, three for ten, or ten tickets for 20.00. You have to be there to buy them, and … you must be legally able to pass a background check with the FFL to take possession with the dealer, so if you can’t do that, buy something else or donate the money, please. Otherwise, show up and stock up on tickets!
As noted above, the forecast for Saturday (as of today) is 67 and mostly/Partly sunny. If it stays that way, we’ll leave the firepits behind, but we’ve got ’em if we need ’em.
Event ticket buyers will get admission, access to everything, the opportunity to talk with our speakers, and a handful of food and drink tickets to pick and choose from the menu, which includes desserts.
And I won’t lie. We have yet to nail down a band. We want one, but they either charge too much or are…what’s the word, bad. We’re still planning to have music, but we want that to be live!
We have a comedian, well – he thinks he’s funny. You can decide for yourself. And, of course, the best Master of Ceremonies in the Granite State, Jeff Chidester, who is also a speaker at this event.
And I can bring the cornhole set (it is still in the box), but I’ll break it out if anyone is interested.
So please grab a ticket or two, and come and enjoy the food and the company, chat with friends you bring or meet, and enjoy an afternoon celebrating another great day in New Hampshire and to support of independent media in the Granite State and beyond.
All proceeds pay for event costs or to fund GraniteGrok.com. Everyone else has volunteered their time to help us raise money and awareness.

Boston University Keeps sending me “Bostonia,” which touts itself as being THE Alumni magazine of BU. Forty years later, I still have no idea how they found me up here in NH (never gave them my address); they keep sending me this rag.
I used to read it, but as it drifted Leftward in its positioning and presentation (as opposed to its down-the-middle description of “alumni of note”), I graduated to merely reviewing the Obits – and then, for years, just tossed it away.
They continue to disappoint me, and I’m sure I’ve disappointed them. I’ve never given them a dime over the decades. Glad, too, given that its current “luminaries,” US CongressTwit AOC and Critical Race Theory grifter Professor Ibram X. Kendi, are the face of BU when it comes to Politics. But now this.
The latest issue.
I dryly note that guns don’t divide a country, people do, but that would ruin their Narrative, wouldn’t it?
I didn’t toss it right away, thinking I’d read it a bit later. Months later, I just read it Saturday morning. Much to my unsurprise, the slant and bias of both the writer and who she interviewed was quite present. So I decided to leave some comments. I was respectful but I guess calling AOC a “CongressTwit” and Ibram X Kendi, the BU Professor, who is now under investigation of “missing” millions of dollars given to his “Anti-Racism Center”, a “grifter”. Other than that, and stating that Bostonia had slide Leftward over the years, I was actually very respectful. Truely, I was!
That included the one in which I stated that with the deliberate destruction by the Left of traditional American norms and mores, the problem isn’t with an inanimate object but with the minds, hearts, and souls of those that would have the mindset to make such a horrible decision to follow though with actions that would take peoples’ lives. Until the Left finally recognized that, this is merely ignoring the actual root cause.
And I was duly rewarded before I could save of the page to bring them here , the moderator deleted them. I HATE wasting time and they were pretty good, too (IMHO)! Even my last comment in following up the other deletions, in which I said
“for a politically self-categorized article, it’s clear that my political world isn’t acceptable at BU anymore) got deleted.
So, back to the trash can they go. After all:

The post How the AR-15 Divided a Nation – Seriously? appeared first on Granite Grok.
I think we’ve been clear about this. The immunity protections given to Pfizer by the government were never genuine, and the people handing them out knew that. And that while the Pfeds would cover for their own, the rest were on their own. That day may have arrived.
You can now sue the mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturers for damages and the FDA is required to take the COVID vaccines off the market. Why? Adulteration. The plasmid bioactive contaminant sequences were NOT pointed out to the regulatory authorities. It’s considered adulteration. …
The FDA is now at a crossroads. Either they admit that they knew about the plasma contamination, and failed to disclose that to the public and to the outside committees, or they can claim that they didn’t know about it in which case Pfizer is liable. But we have the Pfizer documents that were given to the FDA so we know what the FDA got. And I seriously doubt there’s any disclosure of SV40 contamination. That means we have an adulterated vaccine and the FDA has to remove it from the market until the adulteration is fixed.
That is Steve Kirsch via Thread reader, and thanks to the small army of “researchers” who sent it to me. And I’m very excited to have hinted at Pfizer’s doom (with a lot of help from the internet) just last week. Two pull quotes from my piece. First,
If you hide details that lead to harm, the political rats will abandon your ship faster than you can say mRNA Vaccines.
That’s the boat Pfizer may soon find itself in, and it should not expect its Pfederal Pfriends to lift a pfinger to help, noting that any who might have probably “retired” and have packed their”stipends” and inducements in their saddle bags as they ride into the sunset. Any still on the payroll (wink-wink) also got what they wanted. A full-scale global tyranny test that a majority of the Western World Pfailed.
And second.
The ‘crats (Demo and Bureau) will feign surprise and outrage if the weight of truth becomes too much for the narrative damn to hold back, they will find the nearest microphone and throw Pfizer under the bus. The Pfeds will lose the Pf and launch investigations while states bring lawsuits to take whatever settlement they can manage as “compensation” for being fooled or in on the scam.
For now, rejoice. Shoddy drug-making and sloppy Quality control (remdesivir with glass particles in it) may have opened the door for a global lawsuit that would end Pfizer, which investors saw coming. There is, of course, at least one fiat. While the government stooges will easily switch sides and take their pound of flesh from either with a wink and a smile, one judge’s ruling is only another ruling away from becoming meaningless.
I don’t think this leaking barrel holds water long-term because of systemic deception.
Tens of thousands of pages of Pfizer and FDA documents are in the public domain. There is clear evidence of misinformation, deception, and fraud. Research continues to pile up, proving the jab was crap, getting it made matters worse, getting more of it worst still. And people were wising up to that.
The FDA and CDC then drove disinformation down into the state and local public health Matrix, and the process was multiplied. They created the tagline that will come to haunt them.
Safe and Effective. It was neither. And they have been avoiding the conversation becasue it makes them look dumber than the people they’ve been ridiculing who told the truth. That means you burn any bridge to save some face. So whichever way the ill wind blows, the Government franchise of the Medical Industrial Complex will cover its bloated ass, and blowing up Pfizer is a small price to pay.
And Pfizer doesn’t have a police force if you take my meaning.
So, once they get the okay, every DA and AG across the fruited plain will want a vulture in line to pick at the carcass. And they’ll pretend that means they were looking out for you all along. And? How about more regulations and more government to regulate the regulators?
You can count on that.
Whatever happens, don’t be distracted by the potential for the largest class action lawsuit in human history, Pfizer’s inability to pay what they should, or any government is your health-freedom friend crap. None of them has your back (we do). And all do it again in a heartbeat.
But you saw through the covid crap the first time, so keep that eyesight sharp and your BS meter ready.
Stay frosty.

The post Breaking: You Can Probably Sue Pfizer Over That Tainted mRNA COVID Vaccine appeared first on Granite Grok.
The government in Canada has both embraced and promoted medically assisted dying. Assisted suicide. It started with the chronically ill, but soon, almost anyone could ask the government to please kill them, even those who thought they wanted to live.
Government-approved euthanasia is not new and does not always begin as a call for compassion, but it always develops mission creep. In our so-called modern age, Nation-states or just states stand teary-eyed, choking on their empathy, begging us to give them the authority to end life. It is a kindness. A gift. To stop their suffering. But much the way a hammer sees every problem as a nail, so do the regulators and legislators who empower your government with this hand of death.
The tale begins with word salads of concern for the dignity of the chronically ill—those few who cannot separate daily living from pain, inevitably leading to the government ending life to escape its failures or to solve problems it created. Hide them, even. Every possible encumbrance upon the state is increasingly solved by “allowing” some class of “burden” to end its life.
The old, the poor, the homeless, the depressed, Veterans with PTS, anyone who is a strain on the socialized health system or the welfare budget, and eventually, inevitably, those who speak out against the government.
Housing crisis – look, something just opened up. Not enough food because you won’t let farmers grow it, or perhaps you think there are too many people on your planet?
Another lockdown will have them lining up for a mental illness date with Dr. Death.

Oh, Steve, that’ll never happen. Except it has or will. Mental health issues are defined by state social workers and therapists, most of whom were trained by partisan Marxist progressives who are all eugenicists and social engineers with the power not just to recommend assisted suicide but to counsel their patients to consider it.
Encouraged by those above their pay grade, they become end-of-life counselors of opportunity. I know you think you want to live, but this is what’s best.
And if you think that sort of handling is crazy talk, NH banned its therapists from counseling the gender confused toward their birth sex, even if that’s what the patient wants. It would be a crime.
States like Oregon have made assisted suicide (MAiD) available to everyone. Hawaii has shortened the waiting period to a few days (you would wait three times as long to get a handgun). Beginning in the Spring of 2024, drug addicts in Canada will have their own box car to carry them to the Medically assisted dying camps. And why not? Keeping the drugs out is expensive. Policing them once we’ve let them in is expensive. Recovery programs that may not work are expensive. If there’s a risk of a drug overdose anyway, and they don’t recall like people anyway, let the state overdose you in peace. Many problems solved.
Slippery Slope.
Dr David Martell, physician lead for Addictions Medicine at Nova Scotia Health, who is presenting the framework at the conference, told VICE News: ‘I don’t think it’s fair, and the government doesn’t think it’s fair, to exclude people from eligibility because their medical disorder or their suffering is related to a mental illness.
‘As a subset of that, it’s not fair to exclude people from eligibility purely because their mental disorder might either partly or in full be a substance use disorder. It has to do with treating people equally.’
It has to do with killing anyone you can convince needs to die. Anyone?
Not that long ago, after Trump was elected in 2016, the soothsayers in the Donkey Party saw signs in the bilgewater wells of their ruined cities. Biblical plagues (minus the Bible), from economic crises to famine to nuclear war. They were, of course, projecting. Back in power, Democrat fears become real for their political opponents, complete with collateral damage Nancy Pelosi promised, always with the specter of a mental illness diagnosis lurking in the wings.
They always said you had to be crazy to support that guy or that thing or to think that way. COVID etched that perception in granite. They will do whatever they can get away with and a few things they likely can’t if it secures their political power.
As a reminder.
A government that thinks there are too many of us, that we are some sort of burden, and encourages medically assisted suicide will always make its citizens suicidal and then pretend it is a kindness to kill them.
That is not speculation or conspiracy theory; it is a fact. Over the past several years, nation-states have gone to great lengths to ensure mental health distress, chronic drug abuse, and illness. At the same time, the more progressive players have either instituted medically assisted suicide or made it easier for you to “qualify.”
Depending on how far gone, the State will declare its political opponents (agitators who brought them to power and agitators who oppose their power) mentally unfit, make them disappear in jails or in mental institutions where they will either kill themselves (suicide), or ask to die (assisted suicide).
Who among us refuses to believe that a government that would lock up and isolate its citizens as political prisoners without due process rights might also brainwash them into accepting medically assisted dying, were it an option? How about in a society where the same government punishes opposing political speech?
Assisted suicide supporters mean well, but in the end, just like welfare, it will cause more harm to good people than do good to people in need.
Freedom is messy, life is a bitch, and personal responsibility is demanding, but governments are evil. And we’ve allowed ours off their leash too long to trust them with this.
Even in New Hampshire.
