79% Of Democrats Support Employers Forcing Workers To Get Covid-19 Jabs (RT)

A new poll shows that Democrats and Republicans are just about as divided on an employee’s right to choose whether to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as they are on a woman’s right to choose whether to abort her unborn child. Nearly 80% of Democrats agreed that employers should be able to force their workers to get Covid-19 shots, according to a CBS News-YouGov poll released on Sunday. In contrast, only 39% of Republicans approved of giving businesses such authority over their employees’ medical choices. The overall response was 56-44 in favor of forced jabs. Supporters of the two major parties are more split on vaccine choice than on Covid-19 inoculation in general. While 95% of Democrats have already been vaccinated or are at least considering it, 71% of Republicans are on board or thinking about taking the jab, the poll showed.

That result suggests some improvement in vaccine acceptance in the past two months. A Monmouth University poll released in mid-April indicated that 43% of Republicans don’t intend to get vaccinated against the virus. In the CBS News-YouGov survey, 29% of Republicans said they had ruled out the shots. Overall, only 18% of respondents said they won’t get vaccinated, while 71% said they had either already gotten a jab or planned to do so. The other 11% were undecided. The issue of employer-mandated vaccination is heating up, as a Texas judge on Saturday issued the nation’s first federal court ruling on whether workers can be ordered to receive Covid-19 shots.

“Pretty” safe? Is that a slip of the tongue, or is it a warning?

‘Pretty Safe’ Jab Will Protect Kids From Variant (ST)

A scientist advising the government has declared that there is now a “very strong argument” to vaccinate children against the coronavirus as infections rise and evidence emerges that vaccination is “pretty safe”. Professor Peter Openshaw, vice-chairman of Nervtag, a committee that looks out for emerging respiratory threats, said there were indications that the Indian variant was more transmissible among children than the original Wuhan strain. Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It strengthens the argument for extending vaccination to children. I’ve been sitting on the fence on this one, but on balance I’m coming to the view that there’s a very strong argument we should go there.


“Evidence has come out about the safety and efficacy of generating an antibody response in children. It looks like it is pretty safe and there are no adverse signals.” Coronavirus testing in secondary schools has collapsed in recent weeks, according to NHS Test and Trace. Nearly two thirds of secondary school pupils failed to take a test in the week before half-term. Data from Public Health England shows 282 Covid-19 outbreaks in schools in the past four weeks, compared with 88 in the previous four weeks.

“In reviewing the medical literature and news reports, and in talking to pediatricians across the country, I am not aware of a single healthy child in the U.S. who has died of COVID-19 to date..”

CDC Claims Covid-19 Kills ‘Healthy Young Children’ (JTN)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now claims that “healthy young children” can die from COVID-19. Marty Makary wants to see the evidence. “In reviewing the medical literature and news reports, and in talking to pediatricians across the country, I am not aware of a single healthy child in the U.S. who has died of COVID-19 to date,” the Johns Hopkins University professor of medicine and public health said Thursday. Archived versions of the CDC’s web page comparing COVID-19 and seasonal influenza show that it revised the “differences” in the section “People at High-Risk for Severe Illness” sometime between May 31 and June 8.

“The risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19,” the earlier version says. “However, infants and children with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for both flu and COVID-19.” The new version flips the emphasis as well as adding a new claim. “Overall, COVID-19 seems to cause more serious illnesses in some people,” it begins. “For young children, especially children younger than 5 years old, the risk of serious complications is higher for flu compared with COVID-19. However, serious COVID-19 illness resulting in hospitalization and death can occur even in healthy young children.”

Makary’s article in MedPage Today, a clinical news publisher where he serves as editor in chief, pushes back on calls to vaccinate kids ages 0 to 12 without comorbidities. He also recommends parents avoid vaccinating children who have recovered from COVID-19 infections, continuing his argument that natural immunity is just as good if not better than vaccine immunity. “The case to vaccinate kids is there, but it’s not compelling right now,” Makary wrote. He’s part of a movement of doctors at medical institutions around the world calling for far more cost-benefit analysis of COVID-19 vaccines for low-risk populations such as children.

“..the spike protein is deadly even absent the virus. ..”

The Killer in the Bloodstream: the “Spike Protein” (Whitney)

The Spike Protein is a “uniquely dangerous” transmembrane fusion protein that is an integral part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. “The S protein plays a crucial role in penetrating host cells and initiating infection.” It also damages the cells in the lining of the blood vessel walls which leads to blood clots, bleeding, massive inflammation and death. To say that the spike protein is merely “dangerous”, is a vast understatement. It is a potentially-lethal pathogen that has already killed tens of thousands of people. So, why did the vaccine manufacturers settle on the spike protein as an antigen that would induce an immune response in the body? That’s the million-dollar question, after all, for all practical purposes, the spike protein is a poison. We know that now due to research that was conducted at the Salk Institute. Here’s a summary of what they found:

“Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease…. SARS-CoV-2 virus damages and attacks the vascular system (aka–The circulatory system) on a cellular level… scientists studying other coronaviruses have long suspected that the spike protein contributed to damaging vascular endothelial cells, but this is the first time the process has been documented…. … the spike protein alone was enough to cause disease. Tissue samples showed inflammation in endothelial cells lining the pulmonary artery walls. The team then replicated this process in the lab, exposing healthy endothelial cells (which line arteries) to the spike protein. They showed that the spike protein damaged the cells by binding ACE2…“If you remove the replicating capabilities of the virus, it still has a major damaging effect on the vascular cells, simply by virtue of its ability to bind to this ACE2 receptor, the S protein receptor, now famous thanks to COVID.”

Remember how everyone laughed at Trump when he said injecting household bleach would cure Covid? How is this any different? It’s not different, and whatever modest protection the vaccines provide as far as immunity, it pales in comparison to the risks they pose to personal health and survival. And did you notice what the author said about stripping-out the virus and leaving the spike protein alone?’ He said “it still has a major damaging effect” implying ‘blood clots, bleeding and severe inflammation.’ In other words, the spike protein is deadly even absent the virus. Here’s how Dr. Byram Bridle (who is a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario) summed it up:

“We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now… We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew the spike protein itself was a toxin and was a pathogenic protein. So, by vaccinating people we are inadvertently inoculating them with a toxin.” Think about that for a minute. This is a very big deal, in fact, this is the critical piece of the puzzle that has been missing for the last 15 months. Just as the respiratory virus concealed the real killing-agent in Covid, (the spike protein) so too, the relentless hype surrounding mass-vaccination has concealed the glaring problem with the vaccines themselves, which is, they generate a substance that is “capable of causing disease.”

UK Lockdown End To Be Delayed (Pol.eu)

The U.K.’s final lifting of lockdown restrictions on June 21 is expected to be pushed back by Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a press conference on Monday evening, a government official confirmed to London Playbook. Multiple outlets report that Johnson, alongside cabinet members Rishi Sunak, Michael Gove and Matt Hancock have signed off on a month-long delay, after scientific advisers urged the prime minister to allow enough time for more people to get fully vaccinated. On Friday, The Sun reported that July 19 would be proposed as the new “Freedom Day” of lockdown end, with a review of numbers on July 5 that could see some or all restrictions lifted early.

“The prime minister sees this as the final stretch and wants people to be patient. We are nearly there, it’s one last haul,” a government source told The Times. The rules currently in place that will be kept include the wearing of face masks and limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings. The reopening of nightclubs is also set to be delayed. On the other hand, according to the Financial Times, some allowances may be made for weddings, allowing for larger gatherings as is the case for funerals. Health minister Edward Argar told Sky News on Monday that weddings and those who plan to wed “will be very much in [Johnson’s] mind at the moment.”

Despite reports that Sunak is not planning to extend the furlough scheme to support businesses, Argar said Johnson is “very mindful of the need for businesses and others to get what they need if they continue to be locked down.” On Sunday, 7,490 new COVID cases were reported in the U.K., a considerable increase from 5,341 a week before, on June 6.

“If our very effective vaccines cannot deliver us freedom from restrictions, then nothing ever will.”

MP Warns Brits ‘Have To Learn To Live With Covid’ For ‘Rest Of Time’ (RT)

Covid Recovery Group chairman and MP Mark Harper opposes delays in the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, arguing Brits will “have to learn to live with” the virus now that the vulnerable are jabbed, or suffer constant lockdown. Harper took to Twitter after an article on Sunday in the Telegraph citing an unnamed minister claimed the planned lockdown-easing date of June 21 could be delayed until as late as next spring due to the government’s concern about the spread of Covid-19 variants. The Forest of Dean MP warned in response that it “would be devastating for business confidence, people’s livelihoods and wellbeing” if the reopening were delayed, and would send “a clear message to employers and workers that, when Covid cases increase this (and every) autumn and winter, they cannot rely on Govt to keep our society open.”


“Now that the most vulnerable have been protected with their vaccine doses, we have to learn to live with this virus, rather than endure seasonal on-off lockdowns and restrictions,” Harper argued, noting that Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance has warned that coronavirus mutations “will appear for the rest of time.” Harper also pointed out that the most vulnerable people in the UK – who account for 99% of Covid-19 deaths and 80% of hospitalisations – will all have been offered two vaccine jabs by June 21, making it safer than ever to reopen. “We have to learn to live with it,” concluded Harper. “If our very effective vaccines cannot deliver us freedom from restrictions, then nothing ever will.”

“Many of these patients don’t really believe mental illness will explain their symptoms. They want something tangible, something external like the virus.”

Why Is Britain Now The Capital Of Long Covid? (T.)

In April, the NHS chief executive Sir Simon Stevens promised to have 83 long Covid clinics open by the end of the month. The Office for National Statistics has estimated that more than 1 million people in Britain have suffered from long Covid. Danny Altmann, a professor of immunology at Imperial College, London, has predicted that long Covid could represent a long-term burden on the NHS comparable to arthritis, which costs the service an estimated £10 billion a year, some 8 per cent of the health budget. Altmann estimates that as many as 20 per cent of Covid sufferers could have longer symptoms; many of them will be younger patients who didn’t initially face severe illness.

It seems Britain is the long Covid capital of the world. This became immediately apparent to me upon moving back here from the US last month. American media has led much of the discussion on long Covid, but fear of the syndrome hasn’t penetrated public sentiment the way it has in Britain, where many young people are terrified of getting the virus not because they fear it will kill them, but because of the potentially debilitating after-effects. The question is why? Is there more long Covid here? And if so, for what reason? Are we simply doing a better job of diagnosing and discussing it, much as we lead the world in using genomic sequencing to find new Covid variants? Or might there be other cultural and societal factors underpinning our pervasive long Covid issue?

The answer could well be some combination of the above. The difficulty in researching long Covid is that every expert that you ask gives you a slightly different answer as to what the illness is and what causes it. “The simple answer is I don’t know [what causes this] and nor does anybody else,” says Dr Paul Harrison, head of Oxford University’s Translational Neurobiology Group. “We have to start with ‘nobody knows’ and keep that uncertainty — and therefore open-mindedness — at the forefront of our approach.” [..] “It’s psychosomatic,” says Jeremy Devine, a resident psychiatrist at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. In March, he wrote a controversial column for The Wall Street Journal, arguing that long Covid was being incorrectly used as a catch-all for a whole host of ailments and issues, many of them psychological. There was a fierce backlash, with several UK-based patient groups writing furious letters to his supervisors.

“People do not like psychological explanations for physical symptoms,” he says. “They want something that’s perceived as real. Many of these patients don’t really believe mental illness will explain their symptoms. They want something tangible, something external like the virus.”

Wisconsin Top Court: Health Agency Lacks Power To Close Schools Over Covid (JTN)

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled against the city of Madison’s public health agency in a dispute over the power to close schools during the pandemic. A top city health official decried Friday’s decision, saying it would put children at risk. “The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that local health officers cannot close schools within their jurisdictions. We are extremely disappointed in the court’s decision, which has much further reaching implications than just this current pandemic,” health director Janel Heinrich said.. “This decision hinders the ability of local health officers in Wisconsin to prevent and contain public health threats for decades to come.”


The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty brought the case. WILL argued that Public Health Madison & Dane County overstepped its bounds by unilaterally ordering all schools, public and private, to close. WILL also argued the order infringed on parents’ rights to decide about their children’s education. Justice Rebecca Bradley wrote the majority opinion, saying Heinrich’s office had relied on an over-generalized reading of state law. “The power to take measures ‘reasonable and necessary’ cannot be reasonably read as an open-ended grant of authority,” Bradley wrote. “If Heinrich’s argument were correct, then the general provision would essentially afford local health officers any powers necessary to limit the spread of communicable diseases. This cannot be. What is reasonable and necessary cannot be reasonably read to encompass anything and everything.”

Too Fat To Fly: FAA Updates Guidelines As American Obesity Crisis Grows (Fed.)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is demanding U.S. airlines submit plans with updated weight averages they will use for passengers and baggage moving forward by Saturday. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Airlines officials say the weight estimates used for passengers and baggage are going up between 5 percent and 10 percent.” “That will affect some flights, possibly requiring that more passengers get bumped or more baggage left behind,” the Journal reported. The new guidelines, and likely travel disruptions to come with them, are yet another symptom of American weight gain with no signs of abatement.

While the novel coronavirus — a virus exacerbated by excessive weight where 78 percent of those hospitalized with infection were overweight or obese — should have served as a wake-up call to the decades-long obesity crisis, Americans instead packed on the pounds with apparently little concern. According to a global Ipsos poll in January, two in five Americans reported gaining weight throughout the lockdowns still in place at the time. Those surveyed said they put on an average of more than 14 pounds, putting the U.S. seventh out of 30 countries in terms of pandemic weight gain. Most Americans appeared relatively unbothered by the weight. Less than half said they believed there was a link between obesity and complications from COVID-19 which data determined early on was a major risk contributor.

“Since the pandemic began,” Science Magazine reported in September, “dozens of studies have reported that many of the sickest COVID-19 patients have been people with obesity.” Overweight patients in one study published in August cited by the flagship journal were 113 percent more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to patients of an otherwise healthy weight. Obese patients were found 74 percent more likely to end up in intensive care units (ICU) and 48 percent more likely to die. Pre-pandemic, more than 70 percent of adults 20 years old and older were already overweight with 42 percent categorically “obese” according to the CDC.

Biden Calls For Access To Wuhan Labs (RT)

US President Joe Biden revealed on Sunday that he and other leaders in the G7 spoke about gaining access to the laboratories in Wuhan, China to determine whether Covid-19 was the result of a Chinese experiment gone wrong. During a press conference at the G7 conference in Cornwall, England on Sunday, Biden called on China to start acting “more responsibly in terms of international norms on human rights and transparency.” The president then revealed that one of the concerns he and other leaders at G7 had raised was that “we haven’t had access to the laboratories to determine whether or not” Covid-19 was the result of bats in Chinese marketplaces “interfacing with animals and the environment,” or “an experiment gone awry in a laboratory.”


“I have not reached a conclusion because our intelligence community is not certain yet,” Biden said, adding, however, that it was “important to know the answer” so the international community could predict and prevent another pandemic from happening in the future. “The world has to have access,” he argued, concluding that he and other leaders were trying to figure out a way to gain transparency. Former president Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that Covid-19 came from a Wuhan laboratory, and told podcast host Dan Bongino last month that he had “very, very little doubt” the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In a statement on Thursday, he demanded that China pay $10 trillion in “reparations” to the world for “what they allowed to happen.”

Biden-Putin: What’s On The Table (ZH)

There is a lot of optimism and big press regarding the upcoming meeting between Biden and Putin. This will be the first meeting of the two since Biden took that seat behind the lovely desk in the Oval Office. There are many issues on the table for discussion and there is tension and excitement in the political press in both the West and especially in Russia. There is a growing belief that this could be a turning point or at least provide some small nudging of relations in a positive direction. This wishful thinking, although pleasant from a moral standpoint, does not reflect the realities of the current divide between the United States and Russia. This meeting simply cannot provide some sort of new start for relations between the countries and will probably look like a head-nodding and pretending-to-listen fest the likes of which we have never seen before.

Hours worth of hot air will be blown to throw words onto deaf ears with some background posturing to boot. One reason for the Russians to be suspicious of any offers from Washington is simply recent precedent. Over ten years ago when Obama was still full of Hope and Change his feisty new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a great big smile presented Foreign Minister Lavrov the infamous Russian Reset Button. The red button had the word “overload” accidentally written on it in place of “reset”. This mistake due to a fake desire to make it seem like Washington cared enough to learn one word of Russian was very telling as during the brief era of the Russian Reset, America’s Soft Power machine was working day and night to organize the Maidan in Kiev.

From a Western perspective this revolution was another piece of evidence that the people of Eastern Europe want nothing to do with naughty Moscow, but from a Russian perspective the Maidan was the beginning of an endless waking nightmare. This all led to the genocidal war in the Donbass breaking out, the return of Neo-Nazism to Europe, and the now official systemic racism that Russian speakers have to endure in the “Zimbabwe of Europe”. After an experience like that, can one really expect any sort of optimism from the Russian side because Biden sort of stepped back a bit on the whole Nord-Stream 2 thing?

“But Musk walks on water, and he can assert anything, no problem.”

“Tesla Only Sold ~10%” Of Its Bitcoin Holdings: Musk Speaks, Bitcoin Moves (WS)

Why can’t this dude just shut up? That’s what people, including the SEC, want to know. But look, he just can’t. Apparently, no one can take his Twitter account away from Elon Musk, and Tesla isn’t putting it under adult supervision, as the SEC has suggested. So he was at it again today, responding to accusations by Magda Wierzycka, CEO of South African tech and financial services firm Sygnia, that he’d pumped up the price of Bitcoin by tweeting all manner of things, and then “sold a big part of his exposure at the peak.” So yes. Musk acknowledged in his tweet today that Tesla had in fact dumped part of its holdings of Bitcoin, but he argued that it wasn’t a big part, that it had “only sold ~10%” of its Bitcoin holdings.

And he came up with a rationalization why Tesla had dumped 10% of its Bitcoin holdings: “to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.” That was a joke apparently. Over the past two months, the price of Bitcoin plunged from about $64,800 to around $33,000 at the low and now hovers at $39,000, after the current Musk-induced spike, with the plunge leaving a big-fat question market over his assertion that Bitcoin could be “liquidated easily without moving market.” But Musk walks on water, and he can assert anything, no problem. The second part of Musk’s tweet contained an effort to pump up the price of BTC by walking back his assertion in May that Tesla would no longer allow customers to pay for vehicles with Bitcoin because of the carbon footprint of Bitcoin mining, which was another one of his Bitcoin 180s.

At the time, that statement had whacked the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin mining is of course the fiat-currency equivalent of “money printing.” But money printing has a tiny carbon footprint, because it needs just enough electricity to move credits by computer and the internet. You don’t need huge arrays of special mining rigs with special power supply and cooling equipment to print money. So today he tried to walk back his carbon-foot print concern, by tweeting: “When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions.”

    One question that is foremost in my mind right now is: do those who are taking Da Covid narrative (and the “vaccine”, of course)
    at face value really believe it? That is just so hard for me to accept when there’s so much solid, readily available evidence to the contrary, and it’s existed since the very beginning of the “pandemic”. To be clear, I see it as a real but *grossly overstated* issue; did fiffteen months ago.

    Maybe they’re just hoping to be on the Side That’s Winning.. not going for that tech/app/”vaccine” dystopia myself; not under any circumstances.

    Phoenix Vote Audit:

    It appears that several hundred thousand ballots are missing. It appears Phoenix election officials stuffed blank ballots into the boxes of ballots mounted on pallets, so it would appear that no ballots were missing.

    It also appears that the Phoenix election officials have been pulling every trick in the book to discredit the Arizona State Senate’s vote auditing process, especially in regards to chain of custody of the ballots. Their first attemp was to force the auditing to take place at a public area to create more opportunities to claim gaps in the chain of ballot custody.

    So far 10 states have sent delegates to visit the Phoenix vote auditing process.

    So, I would say some smoke has finally been spotted!

    The uniparty has to be gearing up for a major media campaign to discredit the Phoenix vote audit! So popcorn is in order to enjoy the theatre’s fireworks!

    To answer your question consider this:

    I have a degree in Pharmacology, have been studying research papers and watching interviews and lectures on Covid continually since day 1. Literally 1000’s of hours consumed doing this. Rarely consume MSM news. I recognised the PCR casedemic/scamdemic/scariant narrative from day 1 and ecided to buy IVM/HCQ/Azith/Doxy/Budesonide/Fluvoxamine in relatively large amounts well over six months ago.
    I will go down fighting to avoid the vax and defend my wife and son from it.

    My brother has a degree AND a PhD in Physiology (even did his post doc at Yale). He only watches/listens to the BBC and reads the Guardian. He’s vaxxed, as is his wife and their 22 year old daughter. They are eagerly awaiting their booster jab later this year. He believes the entire narrative. All. Of. It.

    He thinks the jabs are safe and effective and that I’m a conspiracy nut and that I’ve “been had”.

    After a few heated exchanges following me sending him some info re. dangers of the spike protein, relative/absolute risk, early treatments etc. etc. it became evident that no amount of info was going to convince him otherwise

    Once you’ve been jabbed you have to convince yourself that you’ve made the right choice.
    The alternative, and the reality, is simply too awful to contemplate.
    It’s really that simple.

    PFIZER VP: “THE THING TO BE TERRIFIED OF IS YOUR GOVERNMENT”

    Former Pfizer VP and Virologist, Dr. Michael Yeadon, is one of the most credentialed medical professionals speaking out about the dangers of the #Covid19 vaccines, yet it has fallen on deaf ears. With great honor, The HighWire gives Dr. Yeadon the floor to break down his “list of lies” that keeps him up at night, when it comes to lockdowns, masks, PCR testing, natural immunity, and why he thinks our health leaders have abandoned science and reason.

    Mr. House: I hear you loud and clear.

    Germ said: “Once you’ve been jabbed you have to convince yourself that you’ve made the right choice.
    The alternative, and the reality, is simply too awful to contemplate. It’s really that simple.”

    This comports with my experience. I said something at NC several years ago about “the narrowing walls of the cattle-chute”.
    Most, it seems, do not want to know.

    Mr House: “This is total bullshit, and these symptoms will continue to change over time.” That’s so old school. These days symptoms are not needed. All of us make people sick even when we DON’T have symptoms. What’s this “symptoms continue to change” nonsense that you are criticizing? /s

    Germ: “Once you’ve been jabbed you have to convince yourself that you’ve made the right choice. The alternative, and the reality, is simply too awful to contemplate.” Agreed. I can’t imagine how that feels.

    Bill7: “I said something at NC several years ago about “the narrowing walls of the cattle-chute.” And you weren’t banned? Were you forced to grovel?

    Absolute: the NYT Newsletter would be humorous if it weren’t for the fact people are falling for it lock, stock and barrel.

    May the gods help us. Maybe that’s something to consider … going back to the native roots (what’s the PC term now … Indigenous?) Maybe the indigenous people got more than one thing over on us. Just sayin’

    First the latter; then when the proprietors got their Covid-lobotomies around 3/2020, the former (by presenting inconvenient facts).
    Most everything there involving Da Covid is question-begging and other deceits, other than a very few commenters I try to follow.
    In my ever-so-humble opinion, of course.

    Yougov CBS Poll:

    Question 6 is frightening, but about what I expected seeing their behavior over the past five years. What I thought was more interesting were Questions 3 & 4. While I didn’t see what the asterick described, notice Biden voters, Democrats, Minorities, 65+, and 4 year degree holders were either not sampled, refused to answer the questions, or their data was simply discarded.

    My guess is the answers just wouldn’t fit the narrative, so they were tossed.

    Since I have been reporting on the Phoenix vote audit, I would also like to point out that the US government/uniparty are gearing up for when the American public starts to realize the true extent of the 2020 election fraud.

    We all remember the National Guard barricading Capital Hill and then staying. As far as I know they are still there guarding the illegitimate government. Obviously someone in the present government felt they needed this extra protection. Secure, they were not.

    Some time ago I posted how the US military is purging patriotic officers and soldiers from their ranks. The most notable was the space force commander. Obama earlier purged all the higher level generals such that we saw repeated ages where the US generals deliberately and repeatedly disobeyed direct orders from President Trunp with total impunity. So it is now the same for the US government, as it was for the French socialist after WWI, ideology is more important than competence. Clearly the US government is not worried about Russia or China. It is the American people they are worried about!

    Another item to bring up is the US government’s recent change in the War on Terror. It is now clearly directed internally at American patriots. Particularly white Americans. To be white is now to be the new evil.

    Last but not least, most probably missed the AG’s announcement that he is doubling the staffing of the civil rights division in the DofJ. This is in preparation to discredit and shutdown any state vote audits. The media have already received their marching orders to isolate, ridicule, and marginalize anyone opposing the current US government. We are already seeing this happening now.

    We know what happened to France in 1940. Hitler crushed France in just 3 days.

    Just as the French army wasn’t there when French citizens needed them, the US army will not be there for American citizens, either.

    ctbarnum: in all my decades of being a taxpayer, registered voter, jury duty participant, etc., I’ve been polled exactly ONCE on anything, and it was in the fall leading up to the 2016 election – which presidential candidate would I cast a vote for? A [cell] phone conversation went basically like this (shortened a bit to avoid boring everyone):

    Pollster: are you planning to vote

    Me: yes

    Pollster: are you voting for Turmp or Clinton?

    Me: I’m not voting for Trump or Clinton

    Pollster: so you’re Undecided

    Me: No, I’m not undecided. There are other candidates running. I’m voting for a different candidate

    Pollster: So you’re Undecided

    Me: No, that’s not correct. (getting frustrated at this point). What about the other candidates? I’m voting for a different candidate, not Trump or Clinton. Why can’t I select a different candidate?

    Pollster: I’ll mark you as undecided. Hangs up.

    Take that as personal experience of polling, if you will. I was shocked (call me stupidly naive) prior to this incident. Polls are useless. We need to quit paying attention.

    Regarding polling, I agree w/ you: its purpose is- has been for a long time- to drive public opinion, not to take its pulse.

    One question that is foremost in my mind right now is: do those who are taking Da Covid narrative (and the “vaccine”, of course) at face value really believe it? That is just so hard for me to accept when there’s so much solid, readily available evidence to the contrary, and it’s existed since the very beginning of the “pandemic”.

    I often remind myself how out-of-touch I was for most of my life, and how difficult a process it was to tear down the old worldview and then rebuild it on a firmer foundation. Also, it’s healthier if this process occurs piecemeal, rather than all-at-once, unless one enjoys a good psychosis.

    So, to answer your question, I think they “really believe it”, especially if the status quo has been kind to them, i.e. degrees, success, wealth have been forthcoming. The ego needs an anchor and abhors chaos and insecurity. The response one most often encounters when trying to teach someone a new idea that is contrary to their worldview is instantaneous resistance with emotionality… like a braying donkey. This is experienced as a frontal attack and is rarely effective. Most often, one must be kicked down the rabbit hole via a crisis; one in which it’s clear that the old way of looking at things has failed.

    For example, your teenage son dies 2 days after getting vaccinated with a “safe and effective” vaccine. Or the cops smash down your door in the wee hours, shoot your dog, and drag you off for a brutal interrogation, only to find out later they were on the wrong street.

    I’ve never received a call from a pollster in my entire life, but over the last six years of study I have had a good bit of experience in research, statistical analysis, surveys, and methodology. What I found was that sometimes it can be difficult to discern what portion of the data needs to be cleaned up or thrown out (such as when a participant gets halfway through the survey and decides to stop or walks away when exposed to the independent variable), but often it’s better to just adjust n and measure reliability showing the standard error (or margin of error).

    What I see more of from all types of research and polling nowadays is outright manipulation of the data to “show” what you want others to think. It’s a huge factor in the replication crisis across science and polling. So, unless something tells me the evidence is really strong (such as high statistical power), I tend to take it with a grain of salt. And that’s my big problem with the vaccines, so much data has been manipulated the findings have become useless and can’t be trusted.

    hi ctbarnum, good to see you back on here: I’ve been getting paid a lot of money to write grants for almost 30 years. I know how to manipulate statistics inside and out to make the case for whichever client is paying me. Don’t trust any statistics or polls you hear. 😉

    This rings so true. I was lucky to meet a thinking friend about a dozen years older when I was in my late teens, in the late 70s.
    So many things he said seemed like nonsense at first.. it took a while- quite a while- then I noticed that his claims were a better fit with reality than my earlier ideas.. rip, Miguel. Life is seldom kind to those who do their own thinking.

    Thanks again for your comment, MQ.

    Bill7: to be honest? I didn’t notice NC link origination prior to my exit. I used to skim headlines and when one interested me, I clicked it. There would be a few I would click, read, then head to the comments because those were interesting. Then in 2017 Charlottesville happened and the “bars” on conversation at NC slammed shut. Craazyman tried to point out that a lone psycho doesn’t drive the conversation for the people who believe their statues/history are worth fighting for. He got banned. I left post haste. Hats off you’ve stayed.

    Upstate,

    Hopefully I can find work in my area of expertise (though it’s looking more doubtful all the time), but I’ve had multiple people suggest that I teach on the university level, which is a problem with so many universities requiring vaccination. And there is more discrimination based upon age.

    I actually had that discussion with my family about that as COVID studies came out (I try to keep my skills up by doing the statistical calculations by hand at time, i.e, chi square test and finding the effect size via Cramer’s V for example). I told them that in university you can be tempted by the attention to fudge things so you get more attention (I stopped trying to get more data for one project on the notion that my study didn’t actually show much and finding new participants became increasingly difficult.), but in the real world whatever the money wants you to present you present or no money. Thus, always question the stats.

    Thanks for the compliment and advice. Long time lurker because Raul often has the best information and the comments align with what is happening.

    A lot of really good posters got banned at NC post Trump and the comments were weaker for it (Yves really went full hysterical when questioned). Now it’s just unreadable with the COVID mania.
