Disturbing: Ivermectin and Hydroxyyouknowwhat had to be "Cancelled" to permit EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) of Vaccines.

This is so deeply disturbing.
Willful suppression of the efficacy of non-vaccine treatments of Covid-19 is at root a money thing.  Policy was in the way of profit.   The expensive vaccines could not be rushed into service if there were officially recognized treatments for SARS-CoV-2.    The policy was kept and the workaround has been to suppress reports of simpler acceptable helps.  The camp followers adopted the war cry about horse paste and quack medicines but the top people started it.

The surprise (to me) story is buried in this report on a German media whistleblower who works in the ARD empire.  "Anyone who .. demands a multidimensional perspective on the pandemic will reap indignation and scorn".

Footnote:  Why are there some studies that devalue those helps?   The therapeutics arrived too late.  The virus gets a beach-head when breathed in,  later invades vascular endothelium in the circulatory system and is generally being overcome by the body's immune defences by the time the damage to your body is done.  Sadly the vaccine spike protein invades the same tissue as the whole virus and the spikes themselves may trigger killer leukocytes to attack the epithelium.  The viral load is on the decline when people are hospitalized.   The helps are useful at the beach-head.

Experimental Gene Therapy May Be Good Or May Be Bad: Covid-19 is in the news but so is ADA-SCID

 I think "Covid-19 vaccine is experimental gene therapy" is a risk factor that needs continued testing and reporting.   Here, however, is a report on one of the first ever gene therapies that ten years later is still saving the lives of some kids.   They were unable to manufacture the adenosine deaminase gene until some healthy copies purified from mice were planted in the kids' own bone marrow.

I don't like "experimental gene therapy" but have an open mind.
What is settled however is this should never ever have been made mandatory for anyone.

"Covid-19 is a blood and blood vessel disease". Read and decide for yourself.

From the Spartacus Letter summary:

"• COVID-19 is a blood and blood vessel disease. SARS-CoV-2 infects the lining of human blood vessels, causing them to leak into the lungs.
• Current treatment protocols (e.g. invasive ventilation) are actively harmful to patients, accelerating oxidative stress and causing severe VILI (ventilator-induced lung injuries). The continued use of ventilators in the absence of any proven medical benefit constitutes mass murder.
• Existing countermeasures are inadequate to slow the spread of what is an aerosolized and potentially wastewater-borne virus and constitute a form of medical theater.

COVID-19 is not a viral pneumonia. It is a viral vascular endotheliitis and attacks the lining of blood vessels, particularly the small pulmonary alveolar capillaries, leading to endothelial cell activation and sloughing, coagulopathy, sepsis, pulmonary edema, and ARDS-like symptoms. This is a disease of the blood and blood vessels. The circulatory system. Any pneumonia that it causes is secondary to that."

Teslaphoresis: Nanotubes self-assemble in an electric field to make threads visible to the naked eye.

 The 3 minute video clip from Rice University is wonderful to behold.   A modified Tesla generator triggers self-assembly of nanotube "powder" right before your eyes, forming threads and wires. This was reported five years ago but it's my news today!

Non-polluting, portable 1 megawatt power source: Nuclear is the anti-fragile winner.

This has been around a long time and foolishly reviled a long time.  The latest startup Radiant, is by former SpaceX engineers.  Microreactors with 1 mw output, zero emissions.   Apparently they have two new patents, one for improved heat extraction from the core and one for improved re-fueling.

"Small Nuclear Power Reactors"  have been around.  (The review is dated 2021) Some are modular, allowing plants to be built Lego-style.  Some are like the Radiant startup.  Small generally means  15 to 300 megawatts.  Radiant is redefining small to mean 1 megawatt.  The bigger "small" ones are the right size to pop into existing de-comissioned coal plant properties.  The illustration was photoshopped on purpose to show what the NuScale Power module would look like in a story carried bythe CBC in Canada.

Have you thought about this lately? 

A container-sized reactor is anti-fragile while delivering reliable power in all weathers.  A network of them won't be wrecked by EMP explosions whether from space or dirty bombs.  There's no smoke.  There's no smell.  No streams are filled with guck.  Birds aren't killed when they fly past.   There are no cross-country powerlines serving these communities and no tanker trucks.     I think it increases freedom and autonomy for those communities.

 

Lockdown consequences: Fear was first. Anger is next

Fear was first.  Anger is next.  The Austrian psychologist is quoted on former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford's blog:

“After fear comes anger and with it the loss of solidarity, integrity and loyalty,” Werksnies said about social developments in connection with the Corona crisis. “Insecurities, aggression and mistrust are quietly and secretly becoming constant companions of our everyday life. Society breaks up into subgroups that fight each other.”

On the website keinstatus.at, she described fundamental developments using fear as a strategy. “The best strategy to make someone docile, obedient, or conformist is simply to scare them. The more fearful a person becomes, the more willing they are to do anything to get rid of the powerful emotion of fear.”

A new viewpoint is refreshing.  This observation even sounds fresh today.

Uncounted Lockdown Costs illustrated with a Pig Joke

What's time to a pig?

An engineer from UofT was holidaying in the Niagara Peninsula. Strolling a country lane, he saw a farmer lifting pigs one by one into the apple tree. The farmer patiently moved a porker from branch to branch and when the creature had its full, got another pig.  After watching a bit, the engineer had to call out: 
“That’s so inefficient. A lot of time will be saved by shaking the apples onto the ground and letting the pigs all eat at the same time.”

The farmer replied
“What’s time to a pig?”

Holding the pig up is like elevating one disease to feast on the resources of government and media attention while leaving the other causes of poverty, ill health, sorrows and death to run around hungry in the orchard of plenty.

We're being lied to almost all the time by almost everyone with credentialed media access. "Fauci" vs Chapelle "The Closer". UPDATES

Like everybody else, Rotten Tomatoes puts its finger on the scale to deceive you and believes it's doing this for your own good.

In an earlier post I noted how the audience dismisses the Fauci documentary as bumpf while the critics crawl all over each other to proclaim their love for the man who has done more to promote fascism and fear than anyone I know alive.      

This evening I watched Dave Chapelle: The Closer on Netflix.   The critics curl their lips because their idols in the LGBT and BLM worlds took offence but the audience loves plain truthful talk even when it's

gross.

Note how for Dave Chapelle, Rotten Tomatoes has suppressed the WHAT TO KNOW that summarizes critics versus audience and has supressed WHERE TO WATCH !!!

UPDATE:  You like a second opinion, right?  So try IMDB.
They faked it, boosting a 2.0 out of 10.0 rating to 5.8.

You are going to be lied to.
The question is what mitigation you can apply.

UPATES:  More fakery.  IMDB insiders up-faked Fauci audience reviews from 1.6 to 5.8. Just a reminder that Rotten Tomatoes turned off the audience rating until it was publicly embarrassed.
 

California made half the trucks that go to LA Port illegal!!!!! Supply chain problems = policy problems. UPDATES

The busted supply chain's poster child is the lineup of unloadable vessels at the port of Los Angeles. Half a million containers stuck in the ocean parking lot.

I've heard half-explanations:  No room to return the empties because full containers plug the docks.  Import demand is up because of Covid's extra government cash and more people with time on their hands.  Round the clock shifts can't be organized.  The 25 mile backlog of unloaded box cars in Chicago is blocking the flow.  

But here's the kicker:
New California emission standards have made it illegal for half the trucks that normally service the port to even enter the state!!!!  These rules kicked in just before Christmas last year.  Only trucks 3 years old or less are currently qualifying.   Loads from the port have to be re-loaded past the state line for the rest of the truck fleet to get to work.   How come we don't hear about it?  It makes the management of the great state of California look like idiots.

What do idiots do to fix the problem.  More of the same shit that created the problem.

UPDATE:  Heading to round-the-clock scheduling doesn't fix the supply chain unless every link between the port and the end user goes to the same schedule.  Otherwise, the undelivered bottleneck just moves east one link.
UPDATE:   Virtuous California legislators are focing truck owner operators to be classified as employees. That triggers costs and restrictions.
Both updates from this story at Red State.   And here: Shutting down the Gig economy shuts out the owner operator independent truck drivers who like it that way.

UPDATES:  $4000 USD is the median course cost to get credentialed as a truck driver in California.

UPDATES: Oct 23:   The Long Beach port had a rule: Containers can only be stacked two high.  For 90 days they are relaxing the rule to allow four high.   The two-high rule was to avoid looking unsighly to the neighbors.

UPDATES:  Nov 2  Here's what a trucker sees.  Things will be getting worse before they get better.

Find out the names of any plant or animal and get free help too. iNaturalist app

I first downloaded the iNaturalist app for help naming plants on Vancouver Island where I had recently moved. My first discovery is that these apps have come an amazing long way with excellent suggestions customized for location.  To my astonishment, a few plants that I wasn't sure of attracted identity help from other botanists who were roving through unresolved i.d.'s.  Then almost by accident I took a photo of a dead bird and found it accurately named too.   Then a caterpillar!   Every living thing can be helpfully i.d.'d or at least guessed.  It's not just plants.

There's a collaboration with the California Academy of Science and National Geographic and that explains the interested volunteers who are checking out the unresolved identities and researching questions of their own. 

It's a research tool, as you can tell by scanning the image attached, but you're welcome to drop in with questions because your photos improve the database.

The website lets you download the app which works on all devices.

Epidemic of the vaccinated: Covid 19 infections for Brits over 30 are mostly vaccinated Brits

 The very latest numbers from Britain.  All age groups above 30 contribute more Covid-19 infections than the unvaccinated do.   This number is softened when you consider that the unvaccinated group is the smaller one.   But I call total bullship on believing Covid-19 vaccines build immunity.   A link to the data.
A link to not building immunity.

China in Canada for good strategic reasons

 Canada gets a mention in French think tank report:

Chinese regime influence operations in Canada are broad and pervasive. ..
Canada is also a target because of “its all-around proximity with its chief rival the United States; its membership in key alliances such as NATO and the Five Eyes; its place in the Arctic; its image as an exemplary liberal democracy, which makes it a symbolic target; and the fact that it’s a middle power, which minimizes potential repercussions,” says the report.

At the link are summaries of interventions and intimidations I've been reading about, but aggregated here.

A bonus for BC readers:

“There are several municipal politicians in British Columbia, and in at least two provinces there are ministers of the Crown who we think are under at least the general influence of a foreign government,” said Fadden.

Polarized America: New extremes in Biden ratings.

At Trump's most reviled, he occasionally broke -20 as the difference between Strong Approvers and Strong Disapprovers.    Rasmussen keeps a running total of this using a 500 person phone survey every night and skipping those who don't feel strongly one way or the other.   Schlichter's vision of an America divided with hazards of actual bloodshed is drawing nigh. 

One App to Rule Them All: Fascism 2.0 not democracy nor a republic is next.

We're awash in data wealth, information about everybody.  It's cheap and ubiquitous.  And it's getting out of control.   When the struggle for the new wealth settles on a pecking order, a governing body of the elect with a stable of well-heeled corporate satellites will deliver some services of modern society better than ever before.  There will be an app for it.

The mighty who have brokered power are faced with disrupted pecking orders and the self-proclaimed elect are clamouring to get their hands on the new wealth too.  This is bigger than the rediscovery and settlement of the Americas.     The clamour includes regulatory bureaucracies, large businesses, political parties, media stars, a myriad of interest groups within and without the governents and chiefly the enterprise we call "Government".    The winner will be the one with the ultimately superior app.   I'm betting on Government 2.0, a refashioned system of governance that exploits Big Data and can shape behaviour (for our own good) and extract money from every living citizen all the time everywhere.

You know what the good news is?  You get a free cell phone tracker.
You know what "free" means?   You're the product.
A social credit score for good behaviour about vaccinations, an acceptable BMI and a record of pro-government postings on Facebook will let you board planes, sleep in hotels, dine in restaurants, avoid having your internet speed throttled, leave your state or even just travel outside your county.    China is pointing the way.

The winner is going to fold the major corporations and media into what we used to call "government".This is called fascism.   Because it is the new fascism, Fascism 2.0 with a modern look, it will prevail for a time.     Maybe for a generation.

That governing body of the elect with a stable of well-heeled corporate satellites will deliver some services of modern society better than ever before.  The elect will include people who have been elected but also the tenured bureaucracies within governments and the credentialed everywhere who regard their milieu's views as truth.  They will  crush some freedoms that are the engine for innovation and hope.

Ladies and gentlement, I give you "One app to rule them all"

Rotten Tomatoes Joins The Other Liars: Fauci

 Mainstream sources of news lie to us universally.   Just as newspapers delete polls when the numbers go against the paper's politics, here's Rotten Tomatoes deleting the audience opinion of the Fauci documentary and leaving in the so-called critics who lavish licks of love on the insider octagenarian.  91%  !!!
