Blessed are the Prophylactic Givers for They Shall Inherit the Earth by Freddie Attenborough A still from the film  Songbird , a dystopian satire set in the Covid future “What did you do during the Great Reset, Grandad?” she squealed excitedly, the words tripping off her tongue in fluent Mandarin. In the centre of the cage stood an ornate, candle-lit altar. Its upper panels had been cut in triptych form and each panel bore a letter from the old western alphabet: N, H and S. Behind it hung a gilded reredos depicting a coronavirus, its central protein spike outstretched, imparting the spark of life to the reclining Sage, whose fingers could be seen reaching out, but never quite touching, the spike. Running in European style, from left-to-right across the bottom of the image, was a slightly amended excerpt from the Sage’s translation of the New PCR-Testament. Embossed in a plain, puritanical font it read: “The Lord Coronavirus, He who delivered us from The Temptations, creating the Sa...

  WHO (finally) admits PCR tests create false positives Warnings concerning high CT value of tests are months too late…so why are they appearing now? The potential explanation is shockingly cynical. The World Health Organization released a guidance memo on December 14th,  warning that high cycle thresholds on PCR tests will result in false positives . While this information is accurate, it has also been available for months, so we must ask: why are they reporting it now? Is it to make it appear the vaccine works? The “gold standard” Sars-Cov-2 tests are based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR works by taking nucleotides – tiny fragments of DNA or RNA – and replicating them until they become something large enough to identify. The replication is done in cycles, with each cycle doubling the amount of genetic material. The number of cycles it takes to produce something identifiable is known as the “cycle threshold” or “CT value”. The higher the CT value, the less likely you...

The stupid!  It hurts! This Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words  The New York Times' Hiroko Masuike  captured customers at The Smith restaurant in Manhattan Wednesday evening, bundled up in winter jackets, underneath  propane heaters  on a sidewalk patio, while the  first major winter storm  of the season blanketed the city nearly one foot of snow.  Thanks to Andrew Cuomo's decision to once again  shut down indoor dining  in New York on Monday, these patrons had to eat outside in the middle of a freakin' snowstorm.  As the wind blew, the propane heaters appeared worthless as a few of the patrons were sipping on soup and have likely downed a liquor shot or two to stay warm.  Source: NYT  Perhaps the patrons on Wednesday night were devoted customers supporting their local restaurants, rain or shine, considering a record number of eateries across the country  can't pay December rent .  As we've mentioned before, ...

If the following actually happens, it will probably result in a collective amnesia so severe that it won't be remembered by the survivors. Is it really possible that, short of a global thermonuclear war between great geopolitical powers, technocracy could murder ten times more people in say ten to twenty years than capitalism killed in sixty years? Between 1915 C.E. and 1975 C.E., there was a major flu pandemic which killed approximately fifty million people named "the Spanish flu". There were also two world wars which killed approximately one hundred million persons. Then there were the post World War II deaths/murders caused by the Americans securing their hegemony. For simplicity sake, let's blame all of these deaths on the dominant political-economic system of the time, namely what we call "capitalism".  For those readers who actually like capitalism, but who hate its (so-called) antitheses -- namely socialism, communism, Maoism, Stalinism, Marxist-Lenin...

  Instagram is Using False “Fact-Checking” to Protect Joe Biden’s Crime Record From Criticisms The Facebook-owned platform’s denunciation of a well-established view of Biden shows the dangers of internet censorship and the fraudulent use of “fact-checking.” Glenn Greenwald 2 hr ago 167 89 Presidential candidates former vice president Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) during the Democratic presidential debate at Tyler Perry Studios on Wednesday, November 20, 2019, in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Toni L. Sandys/The Washington Post via Getty Images) A long-standing and vehement criticism  of Joe Biden is that legislation he championed as a Senator in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly his crime bill of 1994, contributed to the mass incarceration of Americans generally and African-Americans specifically. Among the many on the left and libertarian right who have voiced this criticism ( along with President Trump ) is then-Senator Kamala Harris,...
