Where The Lancet Figures It Out

 Almost a year ago I said that the country should re-open completely with the use of what I referred to as The Wuhan Pack.

I operate under the assumption that all 330 million people in America will be infected. 90% of those people are not going to have severe symptoms. That's 297 million we essentially don't have to worry about. Of the 33 million that are expected to have severe cases, we need to have enough of what I'll call The Wuhan Packs to catch them early.

The governments at whatever level should create enough of the 5 day Wuhan Packs (because the treatment is allegedly 5 days of the three medicines) for at least 33 million people. Assuming a once a day dose of each that's 165 million of each treatments. These should be staged at hospitals and pharmacies. If the Abbot quick test machines pan out, they should be distributed to hospitals and pharmacies where people who think they may have the Wuhan virus can get quick tests and immediately get the Wuhan Pack for self treatment. But availability of those machines are not to impact the exit strategy timeline.

This was before Ivermectin. 

I also said the following:

This "lets get it done" strategy gets us to population immunity *assuming* we're not dealing with something like influenza where each year brings a new strain that can knock people down again. But we have a plan on that as well. This is opposed to the moderate probability that returns to normal without a Wuhan Pack strategy will simply lead to another huge wave as the still uninfected and therefore not immune come back into contact with the environment.

Note this was before "variants".  

Remember, at the time of that writing we knew very little relative to now.   Now lets look at The Lancet, a publication that did a hit piece on HCQ.

The collective benefits of herd immunity have become similar to a mantra in mass vaccination strategies, repeated by governments and researchers. However, the prominence of herd immunity being touted as a solution to the pandemic might be about to change with the emergence of immune evasion, a virological game changer that is as important as the arrival of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Dealing with immune evasion will require a re-evaluation of public health strategies, and the creation of a new, evidence-based social contract.

"Evidence Based". Now they are interested in "evidence based"?  

Studies suggest that the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants is correlated with the absence of robust immune protection after first exposure to previous (wild-type) viruses, or even to a vaccine.^1,2 This evolution, associated with the emergence of immune escape mutants, has not only been observed with SARS-CoV-2, but also with other viruses.³

So now you realize that viruses mutate. Imagine that.

"Also, the dynamics of natural or vaccinal collective immunity in the regions where these variants emerged might have placed substantial pressure on the viral ecosystem, facilitating the emergence of a variant with enhanced transmissibility." 

 Translation: The current vaccines may not be effective long term.

"If substantial immune evasion occurs, current vaccines are likely to still offer some benefit to individuals. At the population level, however, they could induce viral selection and escape, making the prospect of achieving herd immunity increasingly remote." 

See previous translation. 

Look. A lot of us said that this may be an issue and we have been (and continue to be) called all kinds of names. 

But keep this thing in mind.

The fervently awaited end of this global health crisis might be continually postponed, as new variants emerge and immune evasion reduces vaccination effectiveness in the short and medium term.

See previous translation.

Hence, it is time to abandon fear-based approaches based on seemingly haphazard stop-start generalised confinement as the main response to the pandemic; approaches which expect citizens to wait patiently until intensive care units are re-enforced, full vaccination is achieved, and herd immunity is reached.

Said this a year ago. 

"To best ensure the success of mass vaccination—whatever its hoped-for impact on transmission—and to slow the emergence of new variants, while avoiding general confinement, governments need to integrate and apply available measures in a way that is much more targeted to different generational groups. Different age groups are not affected similarly by the virus; from March to June, 2020, 96% of additional deaths related to COVID-19 in Europe occurred in patients aged older than 70 years.^{6,  7"}

 They just said that variants make vaccinations less effective but here they're going to show how to make vaccination successful. 

Under this social contract, younger generations could accept the constraint of prevention measures (eg, masks, physical distancing) on the condition that the older and more vulnerable groups adopt not only these measures, but also more specific steps (eg, voluntary self-isolation according to vulnerability criteria) to reduce their risk of infection. 

I will not wear a mask and physical distance. I REALLY won't do it if some shot is coerced upon me. 

Using stop-start general confinement as the main response to the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer feasible. Though attractive to many scientists, and a default measure for political leaders fearing legal liability for slow or indecisive national responses, its use must be revisited, only to be used as a last resort. 

 It wasn't feasible to begin with. 

Now, recall I said to keep in mind the discussion how variants arise. Here's Dr. Wittkowski on variants:

And what we saw was that it backfired in many ways. So one thing that we have seen, and we know since October, when the viruses in Spain and France had been sequenced, we know that because of the lockdowns giving the virus enough time to mutate, we had escape mutations that started the wave in November. So we are currently experiencing the result of the lockdowns. Without lockdowns, we would not have any COVID right now.

I actually heard this before so seeing it again from another expert in the field makes me take notice. What he is saying is that contrary to the logic offered for lockdowns, the lockdowns actually HELPED the virus mutate.

Our immune system develops typically something like five or six different types of antibodies to protect us from mutations that might happen while we are infected to make sure that even if there is a mutation in one of the epitopes, the targets of the antibodies, if there is a mutation, then there should be other antibodies that still are sufficient to prevent the virus from being replicated and from spreading.

However, if you give the long enough and the virus mutates at a rate of one or two mutations a month. So if you give it three months, there’s a good chance that there will be six consecutive mutations, one for each of these antibodies.

And at the end, the human immunity does not capture the virus anymore. And the virus can spread.

We have, even though it’s technically mostly the same virus, but experience as if it were a totally new virus. And this is what we’re seeing right now.

 So those of us who were not hot on vaccines because we realized variants would arise and there could be a situation like Influenza appear to be right. This is why we have been big on therapeutics that are NOT variant specific. We have also been calling for a total re-opening for months. When will the policy makers realize their mistakes in putting their trust in people and organizations with an interest in fear mongering and the censoring of alternate treatments?

Why I Stopped Reflexively Hating On The Rich

 Back in the day in my youth when I was wet behind the ear and loose with the mouth I was in that crowd that thought "the rich" were rich because of "white supremacy" and because they exploited or stole from other people. I'm not now saying that there aren't people who got rich by doing that. I'm not blind. However; as I owned and shuttered businesses and had other experiences and grew my money I realized that a lot of the reason why people get sucked into hating on the rich is that they don't know how the rich often get rich. And I'm not talking lottery. Also a lot of it is pure envy.

A lot of people see someone with a flashy car, and that person driving it may not be "rich" in the least bit, and they only see the car. They don't see all the work that got that person to the place where they could own (if they own) the car. In other words, most people see the result of the work and not the work. Its like people who are fit. People try to downplay my fitness by saying things like "well you were always skinny" as if there aren't a lot of fat people who USED TO BE skinny. 

They don't see the thousands of miles run. The tons of weight pushed and pulled. The food declined. The hours of fasting. They only see the results and then want to hate. Simiarly a lot of rich people are that way now, but started off quite poor. They sacrificed. They worked long hours. They paid their employees, when they got to that point, before THEY could get paid. They provided a service, better than competitors, and reaped the rewards. But a lot of the haters don't want to put in that work. They just want to put their hand out and get something for nothing. 

Below are two videos of the kind of people that are currently vilified for "not paying enough in taxes" when in fact they have contributed more than most of these so-called activists.

Boldly Lying

 I've said many times here that I do not consume mainstream media. This is because I realized that they were propaganda outlets. It amazes me that there are STILL people who tune into "the news' and think they are being informed. Never mind that they TELL you that they are propagandizing you. 

What do I mean they TELL you? Simple. Read the headlines:

"What you need to know about...."

"How to think about..."

"Scientists say..."

"Experts agree..."

"[event] will make you outraged..."

"You should be outraged that...."

And there are more. All of these titles are actually [not so sublminal] means of programming. In NLP they teach that in order to get people to do or think things you want them to, you use directing language. The reason is that the brain has to assume all input is true AND THEN it evaluates the info. The 'did I really see that"? feeling you get *After* observing a thing. So these titles use suggestive language to set you up to agree with whatever they have to say. In fact, since most people will not read the full article (in the case of written media) the article itself IS the programming.

"Controversial cartoon..."

What? Controversial to whom? When? 

But the title doesn't tell you that. The title tells you that the cartoon is "controversial" and your brain accepts it. It's only when you are 'woke", that is you protect your subconscious by actively querying incoming input, that you begin to reflectively ask the right questions. Now I wrote all that because yesterday we saw the last big lie about the election go "boom"

Yeah. Really convenient that the story gets retracted after the desired result. But to me, the breadth of this big lie is the real story:

The most scandalous thing, Adams, argues, is that several different newsrooms “claimed they independently ‘confirmed’ the original ‘scoop’ with anonymous sources of their own.”

NBC News reported it “confirmed The Post’s characterization of the Dec. 23 call through a source familiar with the conversation.”

USA Today claimed a “Georgia official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters confirmed the details of the call.”

ABC News reported: “President Donald Trump phoned a chief investigator in Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office asking the official to ‘find the fraud’ and telling this person they would be a ‘national hero’ for it, an individual familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.”

PBS NewsHour and CNN likewise appeared to claim they independently “confirmed” the story through their own anonymous sources.

How do you confirm something that is not true? Let's be clear here: A Georgia official, assuming that person actually exists, knowingly made false statements in regards to the election to the media for the purposes of "influencing" an election.

And this person hasn't been arrested?

And if this person doesn't exist then each of these outlets outright lied. If that is the case then they should all be sued into bankruptcy by not only the Trump organization but investigated by the DOJ.

Either way what we know is that people at various levels of power are willing to lie to get the results they want. Now consider what's been going on for the past year.

Makes me think of a saying I saw online:

We know they're lying.

They know they're lying.

They know that we know they're lying.

They don't care because there are no consequences.

The State Continues To Show It's Entire Ass

 Saw this on the Dan Bongino show:

Let me be clear: I'm not one of those flag-waving people. I'm particularly indifferent towards the military. I'm real enough to realize you need one but not engrossed to the point that I think they can do no wrong. Where they, as in members, served honorably, I respect that. Generally speaking in a country run by civilians, the military should be seen, infrequently and rarely heard. If I think the constitution is a restraint on government, which I do, then I think the military is and should be particularly restrained. To that end, NOBODY in the military should be directing commentary at civilians exercising their rights. 

Period.

Seen infrequently and heard from when POTUS says so. When the military starts backing particular political views it becomes a danger to the country. I know there are people in DOD who visit this site. You better speak up.

Ghana Making Moves

 So it seems that Ghana has decided that the Swiss should not be synonymous with chocolate while using Ghana's cocoa. Good for them. I look forward to seeing Ashanti Chocolate in my local supermarket.

A Theory Of A Conspiracy

 Have a seat please. Thinking caps on please.  Ready? Good.

Though I wrote about this recently, I'm going to do it again due to something that fell into my lap which I believe to be authentic.  So lets start here:

2013: I post an article about scientists creating a "hybrid flu" that "can go airborne. Hardly anyone has read it. Important parts:

A team of scientists in China has created hybrid viruses by mixing genes from H5N1 and the H1N1 strain behind the 2009 swine flu pandemic, and showed that some of the hybrids can spread through the air between guinea pigs. The results are published in Science1.

Flu hybrids can arise naturally when two viral strains infect the same cell and exchange genes. This process, known as reassortment, produced the strains responsible for at least three past flu pandemics, including the one in 2009.

2013. OK? 2013.

They warned there is a danger that the new viral strains created by mixing bird-flu virus with human influenza could escape from the laboratory to cause a global pandemic killing millions of people....

“They claim they are doing this to help develop vaccines and such like. In fact the real reason is that they are driven by blind ambition with no common sense whatsoever,” Lord May told The Independent.

“The record of containment in labs like this is not reassuring. They are taking it upon themselves to create human-to-human transmission of very dangerous viruses. It’s appallingly irresponsible,” he said.

2013.

What happened in late 2019?

Right then. Now we have to jump ahead into the Wuhan outbreak and the fact that many Asian countries were doing "so well".  Back in July 2020 it was noted that:

Support for the idea that something resembling SARS-CoV-2 might have been circulating in the region before the pandemic began also comes from another intriguing observation: the low incidence of covid-19 in South-East Asia, particularly in Vietnam. John Bell, a professor of medicine at the University of Oxford, says everyone thought there would be a flood of cases in Vietnam because the country is right across the border from China. Yet Vietnam has reported only 300 in a population of 100m, and no deaths. The country did not have a great lockdown either, he adds. Nobody could work out what was going on.

Two points to take from these quotes:

Lab experiments have been going on in China on SARS viruses since at least 2013.  People in Asia may have had 'something resembling SARS-CoV-2" before the pandemic began.

Got that?

Now this:

Note the date: Nov 2019. What have "We" been doing? Sequencing "spike protein genes" and "IDing ones that bind to human cells using recombinant viruses"?

And

"We've now shown that people highly exposed to bats have antibodies to these bat SARSr-CoV's"

The company website with the office in China highlighted (as of 3-15-2021):

Say who's involved with these people?

CDC? NIH? So they were down with experimenting with SARs like viruses that bind to human cells?

OK.

Hmmm...I believe one of these companies stands to profit off of the  IDing spike proteins that bind to human cells.

I see. So:

1) The story in 2013 was true and more importantly, we have a group admitting to working on Coronaviruses, specifically ones that bind to human cells" 

2) Asian countries with high exposure to bat origin SARs like viruses, you know, from eating them, tend to have antibodies (and T-cell responses) to these viruses and therefore are less susceptible to them.

I'm not going to tell you what to think of this. All I know is that the "important people" have conversations that we are not privy to. Sometimes one of the "in" people slip and tell on the group. You have to know when they do it though and that requires a critical eye and ear and not accepting everything you're told.

Experimental Vaccine

 Once again, I'll remind the reader that it usually takes years to make a vaccine. A part of reason for that is due to looking for long term issues. While testing on rats and monkeys and the like can catch a lot of things. Humans being different species may have reactions that are not seen in those animals. Sometimes it takes a long time for these things to show up. Think of cancer. Many cancers take years to actually show up as an issue. So with this in mind  I have cast a critical eye on the rushed Wuhan virus "vaccines". They may be safe in the long run but right now anyone taking them is a guinea pig,

We have already seen people literally drop dead after getting the jab. I don't know the total number but from what I've seen it is dwarfed, mightilly,  by those who have had no adverse reactions. By adverse I mean more than a sore arm. I mean you just took a needle to the arm and had a foreign substance injected into it, you'd expect a sore arm.

The latest thing I'm seeing and has come to the attention of the authorities in various nations are blood clots. At first this sounds strange but it really isn't. But first the news:

The rollout of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine has been “temporarily deferred” in the Republic of Ireland following a recommendation by Irish health officials after reports of blood clotting elsewhere in Europe.

Serious blood clotting has been recorded after inoculations in Norway, where the AstraZeneca vaccine programme has been paused. Denmark and Iceland have also suspended the rollout pending an investigation.

Commenting on the NIAC conclusion, Ireland’s deputy chief medical officer, Dr Ronan Glynn, said: “This recommendation has been made following a report from the Norwegian Medicines Agency of four new reports of serious blood clotting events in adults after vaccination with Covid-19 vaccine AstraZeneca.

 Why blood clots? Well an often overlooked, even by me, thing that Wuhan does is it binds to red blood cells. This binding creates a clump of cells. This is called a clot. While Wuhan does NOT ENTER the RBCs they are happy to attach. This is important because the "vaccine" uses the spike protein to stimulate your immune system to respond. That same spike protein is what binds the RBCs.

Why would you put a protein known to cause blood clotting into people? 

I dunno. I wouldn't.

If you're lucky you are blood type O, Wuhan cannot bind to your red blood cells. But very few people are type O. The next level is that you did get clots but they were so small and broke up  before getting to anything major. if you are VERY unlucky you got a clot and it went to the brain or lung and it's your funeral.

There are other factors that influence these outcomes such as whether you are dehydrated. Having calcification of the arteries like many older people have. Arterial calcification can also be a result of poor diet. 

So to re-iterate; The Ghost is not anti-vaccine. The Ghost is pro:

Safe,
Effective
Properly Tested
One and Done

Vaccine.

If it fails any one of those criteria, The Ghost doesn't want a part of it. YOU may choose otherwise.

Exit Offending Social Media Platforms Or STFU

 I've seen this so many times now that I feel a need to comment. A lot of people are spending their time arguing about how YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc. are censoring their material for various reasons. I''m really tired of seeing it and I'm going to tell you why and why YOU, if you don't like it should stop complaining and make your exit.

Twitter, etc are not the government. The government has legal restrictions on censorship that does not apply to private companies. Yes, I know some judge declared that Trump couldn't block people because he , at the time, was a government agent who had to be accessible by the public.  But the point is that only the government is legally prohibited from censorship. 

And that's a good thing.

Private companies are not under that rule and can censor whatever they like for whatever reason they like or no reason at all.  Well, no, actually the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 prohibits certain reasons if the business is accessible to the public. But for the argument here it may as well be for any reason.

When it comes to social media companies, these companies offer you a free product because YOU are the product. Twitter is not the product. YOUR account and activity on Twitter is the product and it is sold to the people interested in said data. What happens when a product is not "up to snuff"? It is removed and replaced with a "better" product. "Better" being understood as one that sells. If Twitter or whoever feels that YOUR activity is not a saleable product, for whatever reason, it *SHOULD* remove YOU and YOUR ACTIVITY from the site. 

The important thing being that for the vast majority of people the use of social media platforms are a totally voluntary activity. Nobody is forced to use any of them. Hence, if you don't like the experience YOU SHOULD LEAVE.

I left FB in 2012. I have no desire to return.  There are social media platforms I AM on but I do not use them anywhere to the extent that I used Twitter and Facebook. There are two main reasons for this:

1) These sites are absolute time sinks. As you get older, and I'm talking to the young-uns out there, and you have less years ahead of you than you do behind you you realize that every hour you have is really precious. You will "soon" be gone. There are so many things you COULD be doing rather than looking at your screen.

2) These sites are generally bad for your mental health. These sites often cause anxiety issues as people looking for approval from their peers say and do dumb things. Also, you'll notice that people are now practically unable to carry on conversations and other social activities with the people they are with without their phones being involved.  The ability to ignore someone on the phone often means they are unable to maintain a conversation in real life.  Often when I am walking along a street I am the ONLY person without a phone in hand or even looking where I am going.

So understand that you are under no obligation to use any of these social media platforms and that these platforms depend upon your usage in order to sell your usage to advertisers and other interested parties.

This is why you don't catch me spending time complaining about whether or not I am censored. Sometimes people link into my work from social media. Most often they get to this site from a search (no this site is not about ghosts).

Of course, I am not paid for my content. I do not live off the monetization of my content. Those who DO  should be the first people to jump ship and promote alternatives. Clearly, if YouTube, Twitter, etc, want to be dictators, then there is a business opportunity for a website that doesn't do that. If your content is THAT good then your fans will follow and your platform will grow again.  Does that mean you have to abandon YouTube, etc.? Of course not. Make the money you can but look for means to get off the YouTube, Facebook and Twitter titty rather than complain about the sour milk.

I'll say the same thing here as I said about Target years ago. All you people have to do, if your serious is decide for about a week or so to not post any material on one site. Pick one. No traffic. No posts. No nothing. Activity on all other sites go on as usual. This will have the effect of letting the target company know that you [all] are not going to tolerate the behavior. Secondly, it lets the sites you DO continue to use know that they could be next.

Same thing about these airlines. People are "aghast" that these airlines are kicking people off because some baby won't wear a mask, but they are STILL purchasing tickets to fly. Well, all that means is that you are all talk and no action. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up, take your seat and put that mask on.

Seriously, It's tiring to watch this endless complaining about what some private entity you have no requirement to use is acting a fool. Now those banks and payment processors acting a fool? That's an entirely different issue.

Compare And Contrast: Obama, Trump, Biden and Black Unemployment

 Here I was back in  Dec 2016:

"Now what is important to note is the sheer number of black people in the video. Now it is entirely possible that this was staged like many companies do. However; that is Mississippi. Lots of black folks there. All those black folks with higher wages than before thanks to the idea of bringing jobs BACK. Black folks stand to win with less illegal immigration and even legal immigration. Black folks stand to win with an America first ideology that brings back or creates manufacturing jobs that can employ those persons not particularly suited for jobs requiring advanced education.

It will be rather interesting if during the presidency of a Republican (in name only?) black unemployment drops significantly."

 Here I was in Feb 2018:

"In May 2017, the Trump administration sent letters to about 800 employees, saying they weren’t authorized to work in the United States, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show.

Those Hispanic employees didn’t return to work, leaving the bakery desperate to fill their jobs. So the company turned to another placement agency, Metro Staff Inc., and it provided Cloverhill with workers screened through the government’s “E-Verification” program. Most of those new employees are African American."

 

So in about a year of Trump taking office, employment for African-Americans increased. By the time 2020 rolled around African-Americans had the lowest unemployment rate in decades.

Ed French, owner of Elgin-based Metro Staff Inc., says his company became the main provider of workers for the bakery and that about 80 percent of them are black. According to French, workers at the bakery were paid slightly less before his company was hired two and a half years ago — with wages up by about 25 cents an hour, to just above minimum wage.

AND got paid more.

From Politico:

Black unemployment

In West Salem, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, the president claimed the unemployment rate for African Americans had reached the lowest level ever recorded “in a short period of time.”

Under the Trump administration, the Black unemployment rate steadily improved, dropping to 5.4 percent at its bottom in August 2019, compared to 7.5 percent when Trump took office in January 2017. But that achievement is attributable to economic growth that was already revving when Trump took office, economists say.

So to recap so far. When Obama was president these companies were getting away with putting [illegal] aliens ahead of African-Americans. Trump came into office and reversed all that. Now Biden is in office.

Oh whoops.

Conversely, though, the overall Black unemployment rate shot up from 9.2% to 9.9%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

When broken down along gender, the jump was even higher for Black men, whose unemployment rate hit double-digits after going from 9.4% in January to 10.2% in February.

February was a reverse for Black men, whose unemployment rate has been dropping since October when it was at 11.5%. But the opposite was true for Black women, who have seen their unemployment rate continue to rise since December, bringing it to 8.9% in February.

Whoops. 

So black folks LITERALLY voted against a president that delivered economically for them.  Imagine a bank offers you 12% interest on your money( I know..doesn't happen) and you decline and go to the bank that takes $50 out of your account every month. Who is that dumb?

And black folks voted for politicians and parties that literally told them their jobs and businesses were not essential OR these people who shut down much of the economy told your black behind that YOU needed to be out there "in danger" to deliver their food and Amazon shit while they stayed home paid. And ya'll went for it 'cause they left signs in front of their homes saying "Thanks".

Stupid.

The Black unemployment rate rose during President Joe Biden‘s first full month as labor data suggested most of the jobs gains in February went to white workers.
 

Honestly I'm not buying that explanation. It is possible, but I don't think there is a "let's hire a white man to do this work we normally hire black men to do" movement out there, except perhaps amongst the most woke. We've seen before that it is competition with aliens (legal and illegal) that is a large cause of the supression of black employment.

However IF there is such a movement it could be caused by companies not wanting the liability that would come with hiring a so-called 'woke" black employee who could be a walking lawsuit time bomb.

Anyway, sincerely hope the employment situation turns around but I am not optimistic.

Follow The Money Trail

Many times in discussions with various people I am often asked the following question or some variation of it:

Why haven't I heard this on the news?

You see, the vast majority of the public thinks that the major "news" organizations, AKA MSM are there to inform them. Yes, I thought that too but the events in Ferguson ended that for me and accelerated during the Trump era to the point that now if I see any "mainstream" news it is because I'm somewhere where someone has it on. I do not tune in. Why? Because these are not "news" organizations. These are propaganda outlets who have admitted that their job is to tell you "how to think" about events THEY say are important and truth. 

Which brings us to COVID. 

Again.

After the initial "hmmm this could really be bad" reaction that I think was understandable, I noticed that straight out the gate these folks were talking about how the only way out was "vaccines". How do you know this? How can anyone dealing with "science" predict from the jump that the ONLY way out was vaccines? And knowing how long it usually takes to make vaccines, how could you be suggesting that lock downs and mask wearing would continue for years?

Umm. No.

Then they did dumb shit like harassing people outside in the sun when sun exposure, which stimulates Vit D production, which is good for the immune system. Why would "health professionals" tell you to do something that is BAD for your health? 

Oh yeah, remember when they scare mongered you about how being outside running (and biking) was dangerous because you were in the wake of those ahead of you who were "emitters".

Yeah. Note how they dropped that bullshit. I'll tell you why, I think so. When running you are moving a large amount of air in and out of your lungs at high velocity. Nothing is going to be sitting in your lungs for very long. When I read reports of people who became ill, all of them "woke up" sick. When you sleep you breathing is shallow. Hence, anything that enters your lungs has a higher chance of settling in.

Also, when you run/bike you raise your body temperature. That's a fever. Such raised body temps activates the immune system so actually this form of exercise is an immune booster. It's the sitting about that depresses the immune system.

Again, why would "health professionals" advocate things that are unhealthy?

Then they went berserk when Trump mentioned HCQ. 

Again, why would "health professionals" not want to investigate a non-vaccine potential treatment?

Over the summer Ivermectin became known as an extremely effective treatment for COVID. Yet I noticed no references to it in MSM outlets (per YouTube and Google searches). 

Yet the shilled for Remdesiver. Why?

Why ignore HCQ which effective in early stages when taken with Zinc? Why ignore (and now attack) Ivermectin which is effective in ALL stages?

Well follow the money.

One company has quadrupled its profits on the "vaccine" alone.

$9 billion to 30 billion in profits.

And they locked you down and gave you $1400 and you think that's a good deal.

What? you thought these companies were handing out these "vaccines" for free?

So yes, they organized to suppress information that could save your life in order to make way for a "vaccine" that they declared from the jump was the "only way out".

They will kill you for their profits.

And these people are gangster.

You better wake up and see what's going on. Better turn off that CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc. They are not there to inform you.

Endgame: Totalitarianism

I've noted that THE main difference between the United States and other countries is that in the US the government is [supposed to be] subject to the people rather than the people being subjects OF the government. What this means in base terms is that the people have rights, inalienable rights, derived from the fact that they are people (sometimes referred to as God given). Government does not give these rights and thus the government has no authority to take them. Exceptions to this being conviction for crimes defined by the legislature composed of duly elected representatives of the people.

In other forms of government such as monarchies, dictatorships and the like, the government grants rights, actually privileges to the citizenry. Those privileges can be revoked at any time, for any reason or no reason at all and is not subject to review or input from the people.

The citizens of the US used to understand and appreciate this. Now those who do are shrinking in number to the extent that the below exchange is becoming the norm.

CNN provided a platform for NYU medical ‘ethics’ professor Arthur Caplan Sunday, who argued that Americans skeptical of taking the COVID vaccine will soon come around and accept it if their freedoms otherwise remain restricted.

That this came from CNN is not the least bit surprising. 

If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive to actually achieve fuller vaccination,” Caplan told Fareed Zakaria.

This is called blackmail.  It is extortion. Plain and simple. There is nothing "ethical" about it.

Caplan argued that Americans will “gain freedom” if a COVID certification system is enacted.

Caplan continued “Vaccine passports do require access; it’s hard to impose anything unless you are pretty sure that somebody can get a vaccine. So I think it’ll be a little while before we see this, let’s say within the U.S.”

I already discussed the rollout of these vaccination passports in NYC. Sure it was at an inconsequential basketball and hockey game. But those of us who understand how these things work know that it will be expanded short of a revolt by the population.

And note his use of the word "impose".  That tells you everything you need to know about this guy's position on government.

"“But there are going to be communities and areas of the country where it starts to make sense due to high availability of the vaccine to say, ‘you wanna come back to work in person? Gotta show me a vaccine certificate. You wanna go in a bar, a restaurant? Gotta show me a vaccine certificate,’” he added."

You know, early on in the pandemic there were incidents of people getting shot or other kinds of physical violence over mask mandates. You think there won't be one when some fast food joint tries to pull this?

Caplan predicted that “the world won’t wait for vaccine passports” until all countries are ready, and that they will be put into place regardless of whether poorer or less equipped countries can be a part of the system. 

If you think that the delay is about "poor" or "less equipped" countries then I have a few bridges to sell you. The frog is being boiled slowly. You are the frog.  They are just looking at what standards to conform to and how to get it out. China already has it up and running for its social credit system. 

You'll note that Caplan discusses what private businesses will or should do. This is unsurprising because a lot of stuff is being offloaded for businesses. The Govt. [currently] cannot censor but they outsource that to FaceBook, Twitter, etc. When those aren't enough, payment processors and hosting companies step in and provide the financial squeeze. All legal of course. Where companies don't toe the line, the state licensing agencies are activated and the business is threatened with the loss of whatever license they need to operate. 

Already apps are being pushed by Apple to user's phones to download "official quarantine and notification" applications onto your devices. I don't know about Android devices. And you better believe that when you do not give permission or otherwise decline to download or register that they are noting it for future use.

And remember. This is for a disease which:

1) Has a 99+% survival rate with the vast majority of cases being asymptomatic and full recoveries.

2) Mostly affects people with pre-existing conditions, particularly vitamin D deficiency and obesity. The latter influencing the former.

3) That has known therapeutic remedies that negate any need for a "vaccine" of any kind.

This is not about public health. 

Is Cuomo Above The Law?

 Let's ask the question now. Is NYS Governor Cuomo above the law?

Lets be clear. Falsifying documents, depending on the charge is either a misdemeanor or felony in NYS:

S 175.20 Tampering with public records in the second degree.
  A person is guilty of tampering with public records in the second
degree when, knowing that he does not have the authority of anyone
entitled to grant it, he knowingly removes, mutilates, destroys,
conceals, makes a false entry in or falsely alters any record or other
written instrument filed with, deposited in, or otherwise constituting a
record of a public office or public servant.
  Tampering with public records in the second degree
  is a Class A misdemeanor.

S 175.25 Tampering with public records in the first degree.
  A person is guilty of tampering with public records in the first
degree when, knowing that he does not have the authority of anyone
entitled to grant it, and with intent to defraud, he knowingly removes,
mutilates, destroys, conceals, makes a false entry in or falsely alters
any record or other written instrument filed with, deposited in, or
otherwise constituting a record of a public office or public servant.
  Tampering with public records in the first degree is a class D felony.
 

First question here is, Who exactly has "authority" to tamper with public records and why?  Does the NYS Governor have the authority to falsify public documents? If so why?  Let's assume he does NOT have the authority. 

From the NYT:

The number — more than 9,000 by that point in June — was not public, and the governor’s most senior aides wanted to keep it that way. They rewrote the report to take it out, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Knowing that falsifying public documents is a potential felony, did anyone bring this to the attention of Cuomo? Did Cuomo knowingly ask his staff to commit a crime?

was the earliest act yet known in what critics have called a monthslong effort by the governor and his aides to obscure the full scope of nursing home deaths.

Since there were multiple people involved wouldn't that involve RICO statutes?

Mr. Cuomo finally released the complete data, saying he had withheld it out of concern that the Trump administration might pursue a politically motivated inquiry into the state’s handling of the outbreak in nursing homes.

But Mr. Cuomo and his aides actually began concealing the numbers months earlier, as his aides were battling their own top health officials, and well before requests for data arrived from federal authorities, according to documents and interviews with six people with direct knowledge of the discussions, who requested anonymity to describe the closed-door debates.

So the lie, Trump might use this against us, was a lie to cover up the earlier lying.

Again, it sounds like a conspiracy to commit fraud.

Remember that the NYS AG is going after Trump  in part on claims that he inflated the value of his properties when he filed for taxes. That is, he made a false statement on official documents. If Trump can be facing potential prosecution for this, how is Cuomo not being given the same treatment?

Either Cuomo is under the same law as allegedly everybody else is under or NYS has a two tier system of justice [sic].

COVID Passports Come To America

 It was with alarm that I noticed that the state of NY had implemented a COVID passport scheme with nary a peep in opposition. Showing just how far America has gone from its limited government roots.

Want to attend a concert, sports game or another large event in New York state? There’s an app for that.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a pilot program for the Excelsior Pass, developed in partnership with IBM, that will work as a passport for attending events in the Covid-19 era. Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, users can carry their negative coronavirus test results or their vaccine status for entering a venue or business that requires the information, which can be printed out or stored on their smartphone using the encrypted Wallet App.

So America is becoming a country where one needs the approval of the state to " entering a venue or business that requires the information"?

And apparently, a number of NYS residents are OK with this because they can sit in MSG and watch basketball. 

Each pass will will have a secure QR code, which venues will scan using a companion app to confirm someone’s Covid-19 health status. A user’s personal data is kept confidential; the QR code only informs the venue if a pass is valid or invalid.

I don't care that the data is kept so-called "confidential". I object to the entire "passport" bullshit in whole.

“As we begin reopening the valves on different sectors of our economy, we are putting guidelines in place to ensure individuals attending events involving larger gatherings have tested negative for COVID or have been vaccinated to avoid an outbreak of the virus,” Cuomo said Tuesday. “The Excelsior Pass will play a critical role in getting information to venues and sites in a secure and streamlined way, allowing us to fast-track the reopening of these businesses and getting us one step closer to reaching a new normal.” 

Did any of us get to vote on this "new normal"?

"“We applaud Governor Cuomo’s leadership in reopening New York. The Excelsior Pass program, along with his decision to allow venues to begin welcoming fans, will play important roles in helping to get our City back on its feet,” a MSG Entertainment spokesperson said." 

One: Fuck MSG Entertainment.

Two: Entirely unsurprised that businesses are lining up behind this. Recently Dan Bongino discussed how the power in government lies in "getting to yes".  By shutting down businesses or otherwise crippling their ability to operate, the government put itself into the position of dictating the terms of operating a business. These businesses, desperate to get back to "normal" will do anything that the government demands so long as dollar signs are at the end of the tunnel. I'm certain that no one at MSG Entertainment even mumbled about the Civil Liberty implications of such a rule.

I currently live near this state and the only reason I haven't left at this point is due to one very large barrier. The US is fast headed to a situation where there will be "free states" and "slave states" where "slave states" are where the governments are essentially communist states in which the government tells the people what they can and cannot do. I have no desire to live under such governments.

I Thouhgt It Was A Typo

 

 

 

 

 Point what?

 

"BALTIMORE (WBFF) – A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.

Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma this coming June. But after four years of high school, France just learned, her 17-year-old must start over. He’s been moved back to ninth grade.

Point what?

   “Why would he do three more years in school? He didn't fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that's the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn't deserve that.”

 No. I assure you HE failed too.

 His transcripts show he’s passed just three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, placing him in ninth grade. But France says she didn’t know that until February.

In four years you never checked your kids homework? Never asked to see test results? Never?

Really?

You know there was a teacher's Zoom call where they spoke ill about parents....

She has three children and works three jobs. She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted.

Yes. Bad on the school for the social promotion bullshit. Still though. If my child comes home with a paper full of Fs. After he gets his ass beat, I'm talking to someone at the school between jobs, heck, while I'm sitting on the porcelain throne. Who allows their child to move onto another grade when they are bringing home bag full of Fs?

“I'm just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits,” said France.

I'm assuming you are a damn fool.

As we dig deeper into her son’s records, we can see in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days. But in those three years, only one teacher requested a parent conference, which France says never happened. No one from the school told France her son was failing and not going to class.

Soooo exactly what was your kid doing for 272 days that he was supposed to be in school? He's not all that innocent in this whole thing.

“I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity, like if there was an issue with him, not advancing or not progressing, that they should have contacted me first, three years ago,” said France.

Umm....they were open for classes. He had a seat waiting for him. He skipped out. He had an opportunity. He decided it wasn't worth his time. And 3 years ago YOU should have been asking to see homework and test results.

“He's a good kid. He didn't deserve that. Where's the mentors? Where is the help for him? I hate that this is happening to my child,” said an emotional France.

Your "good kid" skipped 272 days of classes 'cause he felt like it. You might want to think about that.

“He feels embarrassed, he feels like a failure,” France said of her son. “I'm like, you can't feel like that. And you have to be strong and you got to keep fighting. Life is about fighting. Things happen, but you got to keep fighting. And he's willing, he's trying, but who would he turn to when the people that's supposed to help him is not? Who do he turn to?”

 No. No. And no. He IS a failure...at this point in time. HE decided to ditch 272 school days. That is HIS fault period. His only fight is with the man in the mirror. And the people supposed to help him out is YOU ma'am. YOU failed to do the basic things such as: Let me see your homework. Let me see your report card. Let me see your [fill in the blank] test.  YOU failed your son miss.

You know, over the weekend I was going to post a video on these Masai children some of whom walk 12+ miles to go to school through the savanna where apparently elephants like to kill humans. To think that these children as relatively deprived as they are take going to school more serious than kids who are essentially living the Kings Life here in the US.  So here it is as a stark contrast to Mr. I Skipped Class For 272 Days.

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Co

 So being the Garveyite that I am, my position is that equality comes when you do what everybody else does (more or less). Not from when you beg for people to like you and whatnot. Garvey asked: "Where are your men of big affairs?"

He answered with the Black Star Line company that wasn't just steamships, which were purchased, but they had other ventures. The bottom line being you cannot be independent and equal until you do for self. Bottom to top. To this end I present Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Co. out of Nigeria:

Now they need to get into manufacturing (and designing) their own engines but I'm not going to knock that right now because what they ARE doing is a step in the right direction. Yes, it is very primitive compare to the Teslas, Fords and Honda factories, but the important part is they are taking the right steps.

I would say that they should look into electric vehicles particularly given the abundant sunshine that Africa gets . Yes there are issues of power generation in Nigeria (and all over) but if minds can get together (rather than go to America and Europe), these problems can be addressed.

Anyway. Good job!

Tomorrow we highlight another company.

Variants You Say?

 If you follow this blog you know I got off the vaccine train a long time ago. Actually, I really wasn't on it. One reason was that I saw it as not much different from influenza in that there would inevitably be mutations. I have had each of the major varieties of flu (A,B and C) and the most troublesome one was not fun but I got through it fine.

So knowing that viruses mutate, I was never keen on flu shots. Instead, I preferred to make changes in public habits (not face touching which is hard to do when you're having a losing session at BlackJack). Making sure I get plenty of vit D in the winter months (I'm good during the summer) and getting plenty of  Zinc. None of this means I won't get the flu again but it reduces the chances and the severity of symptoms when I do get infected. Notice I say "when" not "if".  When dealing with a seasonal respiratory illness, it is often "when" and not "if" you get sick. That's how I came at COVID. I assumed, and still assume, that it's a matter of when not IF I get infected (assuming I haven't already been). This put me at odds with what the so-called 'experts" were saying but the experts soon showed themselves to be motivated by politics and personal philosophies rather than actual science and an eye towards our natural rights. And so we got the policies of "If" rather than "when". And when you operate from "IF" you do whatever you can to make "IF " not happen.  Ye olde hammer and nail situation. 

So the country was locked up and locked down. Face diapers became the norm and people were and are deathly afraid of coming to close to other humans because they might be diseased.

Talk about xenophobia.

We, well, YOU were promised that a vaccine would end it all. Then when these "vaccines" were presented, you were told to still be scared, still don the face diaper and still don't go anywhere. 

Science.

Falsey, I men Fauci lied about masks. Lied about what level of herd immunity was needed and who knows what else and yet still too many of the public believe in that man. Meanwhile, people such as yours truly told you exactly what you could and should be doing to minimize the impact of "when" so you could stop worrying about "if". We discussed the various treatments available, that do not require you waiting until you have lost almost all your aerobic capacity and be hospitalized.  Our solutions, based on science, would be effective regardless of strain (thus far) because it isn't dependent on knowing about a particular strain. Rather our solutions make the host inhospitable to coronaviruses. PERIOD. We were called conspiracy theorists and all manner of things. And yet what we said would happen, happened. And now the strains:

A coronavirus variant that probably emerged in May and surged to become the dominant strain in California not only spreads more readily than its predecessors but also evades antibodies generated by COVID-19 vaccines or prior infection and is associated with severe illness and death, researchers said.

Evades antibodies you say?

Well that would mean that vaccines will be ineffective and therefore are NOT vaccines but are "shots" like the flu shot, where you HOPE it's effective THIS YEAR.

Who could have predicted such a thing?

Oh by the way, hospitalizations and deaths are WAAY down. Way, way down. Might want to mention that.

The U.K. and California variants are each armed with enhanced capabilities, and the likelihood that they could circulate in the same population raises the specter of a return to spiking infections and deaths, Chiu said. It also opens the door to a “nightmare scenario”: That the two viruses will meet in a single person, swap their mutations and create an even more dangerous strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

I see. 

Ivermectin is known to inhibit replication of COVID. Zinc is known to inhibit replication of SARS.  Perhaps giving people theraputics that inhibit replication would be a good idea.

I'm not an expert so don't mind me.

The new evidence that the California variant could make people sicker, and vaccines less effective, should spur more intensive efforts to drive down infections, Chiu said. Those should include both public health measures, such as masking and limits on public activities, and a campaign of rapid vaccinations, he added. 

See what's going on here? These new variants are going to be the reason why your refusal to get a "vaccine" presents a danger to the already vaccinated public. And of course more face diapers and lockdowns.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

They like their power. They will not let this end.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, raised a further concern in an interview with The Times. A survival-of-the-fittest contest between the U.K. and California variants could accelerate the spread of the strain that’s best able to elude the effects of COVID-19 vaccines, he said. The best way to prevent this, he added, is to stop the spread of either variant by getting vaccinated, wearing masks and limiting exposure to others.

 Yes, Dr. Falsy...I mean Fauci again. He's going to use this to get Biden or Harris (depending on what side of dementia Joe is on that day) to push for federal level BS.

Walker, who was not involved in the new analysis, said that while viruses often mutate in ways that make them stronger, such genetic changes often impose a new Achilles’ heel. For instance, a strain that spreads more easily often loses some of its virulence.

Something we also know and knew.  Transmissibility is not the worry unless it comes with a nastier payload. This is why, once again, the "when" not "if" strategy is, IMO, best. The more strains you've been exposed to the better off you are because your body recognizes these strains upon next meet. Particularly if the new strain closely resembles one you've encountered before.

This is also why interventions that do not rely on protection from a specific virus strain is a better idea, IMO. 

That observation is based on the medical charts of 324 patients hospitalized at UCSF, a relatively small sample. Still, the researchers found that the 21% of these patients who contracted B.1.427/B.1.429 were more likely than their counterparts to have been admitted to the ICU, and they were 11 times more likely to die. That finding held up even after researchers adjusted for differences in the patients’ age, gender and ethnicity.

The number of deaths in both groups was very small, however, so this finding will need to be checked against larger data sets as those become available.[my underlines]

This is a scare tactic. 

11x! OMG OMG.  

"The numbers of deaths...was very small, however"

Oh.

"Rather, it might simply be a reflection that its greater transmissibility caused hospitals to become so overwhelmed and healthcare resources to be stretched so thin that more deaths were the result — especially in Southern California."

Like last time? 

Any state that hasn't figured out how to ramp capacity after the events of 2021 is TOTALLY incompetent. 

Anyway. Once again, do you notice that there is no talk of ANYTHING other than "vaccine", "mask" and "limiting public activity"

It's as if they don't want you to know about something.
