9-1-1 Simple to imagine, crazily complex.

 The CRTC reviewed 9-1-1 service in Canada and revealed a complex high value service we scarcely understand.  And we want it to work right every time, right now, no matter what our emergency is.

Some examples from the link:

.Our call goes through a tangle of federal, provincial, municipal and corporate parties and policies and does so differently in different places.  Yet somehow our plea has to be bundled up, identified and responded to locally, accurately and promptly.   Nothing else governmental is this organized and operating in real time.

.9-1-1 manages to work thanks to the best efforts and goodwill of the actors.  To quote then commissioner Timothy Denton, "Today, the 9-1-1 system is working because first responders, PSAPs and telecommunications service providers make it work, not because the technology is flawless or its governance system adequate."

.NG-9-1-1- is "next generation" 9-1-1 and will allow text, information pages and video to be exchanged.

.Reverse 9-1-1 is the ability of your town or province to send emergency alerts in the other direction and this is becoming widespread.   You can't automatically run a branching emergency system in reverse but the bugs are being worked out.

.9-1-1 when it gives accurate longitude and latitude information doesn't give height.  Are you in a parking garage or on the fifth floor of an apartment building?

.The biggest critical shortcoming is accurate location information.  Thanks to VOIP, many calls to 9-1-1 have fuzzy auto-location, sometimes with several blocks radius of uncertainty.  Below is Section 212 reporting on location accuracy testing.  The tiny inner circle is 100m accuracy.  The very pale blue circle is 300m accuracy.  The yellow circle is 1000m accuracy. The dots are the location results, coloured for three different phone services.   (See also sections 214 and 215 showing an example where almost one call in six was only known to the 1000m accuracy standard.)

212. As part of this process, TruePosition submitted a presentation regarding a testing initiative that they undertook in the Canadian marketplace to better understand the quality of information being received by PSAPs with respect to location accuracy in different Canadian cities. Roughly speaking, the methodology involved placing calls to selected PSAPs from outdoor and indoor locations, and using three different mobile providers in each region to validate data. Below is an illustration of the results from placing test calls from an indoor location in Fredericton. The different-coloured dots indicate the different carriers, and the three circles represent a 100-metre, 300-metre and 1,000-metre radius from the actual call location.

The Twitterati promote "Succession" while ten times as many Americans watch number one yet uncelebrated "Yellowstone"

 What's popular?  The Twitterati with their fingers on the scale will tell you what books and shows and politicians are popular and generally will lie liberally for their coccoon favourites.  

The latst example is the show "Yellowstone" only available on the Paramount Channel, a channel you probably haven't heard of.  Fifteen million people have found their way there for entertainment without getting headlines.  Meanwhile, "Succession" is getting headline attention with under two million viewers on its best days.  "Yellowstone" is not just popular, it's the top drama, beat only by sports.  The link goes to a story in the New York Post.

In BC the Face Coverings Order and the Provincial State of Emergency order were both repealed June 30 2021. Ministerial orders M274 and M275. But there's still a mask mandate? See Bonny Henry's version.

You didn't know that, did you? Here are the two signed ministerial orders.  Also attached is the Provincial Health Act regarding what happens after a State of Emergency is ended.  Below that is the latest "mask mandate".   Bonnie Henry serves at Mike Farnsworth's pleasure and signed her own order below in her own name a few days ago, claiming a state of emergency exists.

M275 repeals the Provincial State of Emergency. (Search on line for BC Ministerial Order M073/2021
to read the original one page declaration of Provincial State of Emergency.)

M274 repeals the Face Coverings Ministerial Order No. M012/2021

   

This is the BC Public Health Act and below is the passage about Government responsibilities after ending a state of emergency.  Part 5 covers Emergency Powers and Division 3 of Part 5 covers the responsibilities when an emergency is over.

But we still have a face coverings order. How is that possible?  The above orders are Ministerial Orders, signed by Mike Farnsworth.    Bonnie Henry serves at Farnsworth's pleasure and it is her signature on Provincial Health Order 419, updated October 29th, which has the colour of law nowadays.  Her authority to sign this is supported when there's a Provincial State of Emergency, as I understand it.     But there isn't one.

The Order of The Provincial Health Officer entitled "FACE COVERINGS (COVID-19) - October 29,2021" is published here with lots of detail about who can do what but no links to what "demonstrably justifies"  means for disregarding individual liberties and rights. (She acknowledges charter rights in Bullet Point M).  She also acknowledges that the vaccinated can also be infected with the virus.

UK Remembrance day bombing: Footage shows hero was still in the car!

It's pretty clear only the primer went off.  The heroic David Perry had locked himself into the cab with the bomber.  He opens the door and climbs out four seconds after the explosion in the hospital turnaround.  Unfrickingbelieveable.  Elsewhere I read that he had locked the doors after the passenger switched destinations and was fumbling with a vest which had a visible light.   Destination 1:  Anglican Cathedral where a couple thousand military were assembled for 11:00 a.m. Remembrance ceremonies.   Destination 2, after road closures encountered: Hospital where bomb primer exploded at 10:59 a.m.  November 11th.

The cab enters the frame at 20 seconds, the primer explodes at 25 seconds and David opens the door at 31 seconds.

You became a target when the Internet gave you influence

Empowered or just escaped

The small story is that Internet free stuff like Facebook is free because YOU are the content and your life can be sold. The big story is that when the Internet empowered you to have influence, you destabilized the world's power structures.  Citizens gained sovereign influence and the power brokers lost market share. The fight is underway to buy up that influence and re-apportion it among powerful players.  Deep state players have lately got the upper hand with Covid fear tactics.

Omarosa backfire: Leaked 2018 tape showed Trump was on top of the Hillary Hoax and knew more then than we know today

Omarosa's spiteful shot at Trump in 2018 is worth revisiting.  Not only did Trump know back then that Hillary was behind the Russia Collusion Hoax but he had sources telling him how much was spent to fund the attack.  He had heard it was 5.7 million but recently learned it was closer to 9.0 million.  The dollar amount didn't get much press.  That Omarosa mocked him for believing the truth, that Hillary and her cabal had funded the hoax, that got all the press and took the oxygen out of the room.

h/t Gateway Pundit

Excerpted from the tape dating from 2018:

"Trump: Did you see? Nobody knows who spent it. No, I heard it was nine. I heard it was 5.7 but now they say it was nine. It was spent through a law firm that way they can’t trace it. But they traced it. One thing in this business is they trace it. And, yeah, close to $9 million. I can’t even believe it. The reason a law firm is because this way you don’t have to give any papers. But they found out, it’s definitely illegal and it’s illegal from a campaign standpoint, from a campaign financing standpoint. So the whole Russia thing, I think seems to have turned around. What do you think, Sarah?"

YouTube admits the obvious: It's hiding millions of Biden (and Harris) dislikes.

 This is new news but back in April, eight weeks after Biden's inauguration,  "YouTube Deleted 2.5 Million ‘Dislikes’ From Biden White House Videos, Data Indicates"

Now it's admitted YouTube policy, to protect the president and vice president from ignominy.

Saucy Papageno & Papagena Aria updated and in English too.

My favourite characters from the Magic Flute. For all their ridiculousness, the two Papa's are much more believable than the hoity toity ones with their dark manoeuvers.  Papageno and Papagena probably will vote for Trump in 2024.  Woke people who only listen to correct opinion will be offended.

"We begin by stating the obvious." Read for yourself why the appeals court busted the Biden Administration's OSHA gambit

"We begin by stating the obvious"

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans uses blunt language to kill Biden's misuse of OSHA to force medical policy on US workers.    Here's the complete document.

Quotes start on page 6.

"We begin by stating the obvious. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, which created OSHA, was enacted by Congress to assure Americans “safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.”.... It was not—and likely could not be, under the Commerce Clause and nondelegation doctrine—intended to authorize a workplace safety administration in the deep recesses of the federal bureaucracy to make sweeping pronouncements on matters of public health affecting every member of society in the profoundest of ways.

—it is ... fatally flawed on its own terms...The Mandate’s strained prescriptions combine to make it the rare government pronouncement that is both overinclusive (applying to employers and employees in virtually all industries and workplaces in America, with little attempt to account for the obvious differences between the risks facing, say, a security guard on a lonely night shift, and a meatpacker working shoulder to shoulder in a cramped warehouse) and underinclusive (purporting to save employees with 99 or more coworkers from a “grave danger” in the workplace, while making no attempt to shield employees with 98 or fewer coworkers from the very same threat). The Mandate’s stated impetus—a purported “emergency” that the entire globe has now endured for nearly two years, and which OSHA itself spent nearly two months responding to—is unavailing as well. And its promulgation grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority.

After the President voiced his displeasure with the country’s vaccination rate in September, the Administration pored over the U.S. Code in search of authority, or a “work-around,” for imposing a national vaccine mandate. The vehicle it landed on was an OSHA ETS. The statute empowering OSHA allows OSHA to bypass typical notice-and-comment proceedings for six months by providing “for an emergency temporary standard to take immediate effect upon publication in the Federal Register” if it “determines (A) that employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards, and (B) that such emergency standard is necessary to protect employees from such danger.” ... As the name suggests, emergency temporary standards “are an ‘unusual response’ to ‘exceptional circumstances.’” .... Thus, courts have uniformly observed that OSHA’s authority to establish emergency temporary standards under § 655(c) “is an ‘extraordinary power’ that is to be ‘delicately exercised’ in only certain ‘limited situations.’” .... But the Mandate at issue here is anything but a “delicate exercise” of this “extraordinary power.” .... Quite the opposite, rather than a delicately handled scalpel, the Mandate is a one-sizefits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for differences in workplaces (and workers) that have more than a little bearing on workers’ varying degrees of susceptibility to the supposedly “grave danger” the Mandate purports to address."

Team Obama vs Team Clinton still in play: "Bill Barr was the Bondo application, John Durham is the spray paint".

This is a new angle to me and rings true.  The divisions in the past White House between Team Obama and Team Clinton haven't gone away.  Durham is going after a few players that were close to Team Clinton and remote from Team Obama because the latter team is still in power, stocking Biden's white house.  Comments from Sundance below:

"Bill Barr was the Bondo application, John Durham is the spray paint.

No one from within the Obama loyalist camp will be touched by Durham. However, those who were in the Clinton camp can be targets of Durham depending on how close they are to the proximity of the dividing line between Clinton and Obama. Those who are close to the Obama line are more safe than those who are distant from it. That’s what we are seeing with John Durham.

Team Obama were radical progressives with idealistic objectives to fundamentally change America. Team Clinton were power hungry politicians from a traditional Democrat perspective. The Clintons focused on power for the benefit of their own affluence and gain. In essence, team Obama were true believers (communists). Team Clinton were following their traditional path looking for power and wealth (crony capitalists)."

Covid checklist: Advantage "Unvaxxed"

If you didn't know the answer is "yes" in the Vaxxed column, read some more background.

 

When you were vaccinated, did the nurse aspirate the needle?

This is major.   "Aspirate" means the plunger is pulled back briefly to see if the needle pulls up any blood.  Taiwan aspirates.  The USA and UK do not, and apparently Canada doesn't either.  The needle is supposed to unload into the deltoid muscle and avoid blood vessels.  The serious consequences of Covid-19 appear to be the result of virus spike protein being expressed by cells lining the blood vessels and then being counter attacked as aliens by the body's own defences.  Blood vessels go to the heart, they go to the lung, they go to the brain, you name it.

Illustrating aspiration 
detecting blood

A doctor reviews this.  Clearly risk of adverse consequences is higher if the needle penetrates a blood vessel and promptly distributes the mRNA for spike protein to all organs fed by the blood stream.
