Laurits Andersen Ring At Breakfast 1898 • Study Finds 98 “Long-Term” COVID-19 Symptoms Including Baldness (ZH) • Yates Throws “Rogue” Comey Und
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 6 2020]Forgive me for regurgitating the patently obvious, but I think Biden’s lead over Trump may be shrinking because he is coming across like the first major-party “figurehead candidate” in US history. He’s probably never going to debate Trump (the former veep would probably have to be pumped up with way too many chemical stimulants for such debates for that to be a good idea), and he’s not even going to attend the convention events in Milwaukee in person (though one could argue about how much that matters, as so much of the Democratic Convention this year will be virtual/ online). You really have to wonder how much confidence such a candidate can possibly inspire in the voters. Though we can be sure the DNC does no such wondering!
…and yet another year, Hiroshima anniversary gets no mention in the comments…
Sad doesn’t even begin to describe the travesty……….TikTok : A template?
This seems to be an ideal solution for the EU’s problems with Facebook!
Facebook’s collection of user data and passing it on to a foreign government has caused concerns.
Forcing Facebook to sell its’ European operations would solve this.
There may be other suitable candidates.
Good article on Zerohedge describing the horrors of Hiroshima and the sociopathic nuclear experiments that have been conducted.
REMEMBERING
Who is counting how much money the politicians are spending in all kinds of advertising for elections?
Who cares?
Who is paying attention?
Nobody is sitting on the fence.
Advertising does not change the mind of those that don’t have enough to eat.In the USA, this year. Its not even worth the effort to mail in your vote.
The ventriloquists have presented two choice
Choosing a figurehead who is
1. a baabbllling, mentally challenged, stuttering, senior
2. or a lying, forgetful, distracted, senior golfer.Remember, if you can, what’s important, ….
choosing a leak proof brand of adult diapers
and
a caregiver that doesn’t dribble spittle and who wear a face maskLIVE AND DON’T BE AFRAID OF DYING YOU WON’T REMEMBER THE TRIP
LIVE AND DON’T BE AFRAID OF DYING YOU WON’T REMEMBER THE TRIP
…but, but, I’m counting on being there; and remembering that final trip…
😉That is one pretty painting!
CSPAN has had the Unspeakables on all morning. I like to think we don’t much mention it in the US because of the shame of being the only nation to have used them in war. (And we are the “good guys”…)
Someone mentioned long ago (internet time) that it doesn’t matter if we had/have a nuclear war because 8 nations have already detonated over two thousand of these monstrosities in “tests” – many on their own soil. The Hawaiian one- Starfish Prime- was supposedly meant to disrupt the Van Allen radiation belt[s?]. (This is another icon of hubris, no?)
So we have all been exposed to radiation thanks to the idea that if we don’t do it, someone else will.
Homo sapiens? or Homo Hubris?
Where is Nemesis when you need her?That is one pretty painting!
Isn’t it though…
Where is Nemesis when you need her?
Waiting for humans to get a grip; and take responsibility for their actions…
She may then act…“”If we’d lost the war, we’d all have been tried as war criminals,” General LeMay remarked, according to Robert McNamara, who brought maximum efficiency to B-29 bombing during the war and maximum death and destruction to Vietnam as secretary of defense during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
He added: “What makes it immoral if you lose but not immoral if you win?”

2750 tons of ammonium nitrate, equal to about 440 tons of TNT, exploded in a warehouse in Beiruit, Lebanon, after being stored there about 7 years, since being unloaded from a leaky, leased ship, abandoned by it’s Russian lease-holder in 2011, when the unpaid crew mutinied and the ship was impounded as unsafe. Some crew members were stranded on the ship for 3 more years. The port authority requested the government to move the unsafe material somewhere else, anywhere 6 times.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/huge-crater-revealed-satellite-image-close-ups-beirut-blast-epicenterMy thoughts about this are that the government of Lebanon has long been overdue for a restructuring, and it’s not really my thoughts, but the world consensus, and Lebanese accepted fact.
The government structure was devised under the Ottoman Empire to have certain important posts split up between appointees of 3 major religions. This divided the people, and kept the Ottomans holding the decision-process, but the Ottomans have been gone 100 years, and nothing can get done effectively in Lebanon.
The current government has put all (surviving) Port Authority officials under house arrest, which briefly casts them under suspicion, but it is clear that they requested 6 times that the cargo be moved anywhere else, because it was dangerous. The government must quickly turn over all authority to some new, emergency government, with a strong central executive. From what I have read, this is possible, and the process is underway, and broadly supported..
The devil is always in the details, but people will only get more bloodthirsty for revenge as the situation sits unmanaged.
The obvious-to-me deal that must be made is to promise China a commanding cut of the action of the Port of Beiruit in return for rebuilding it. Lebanese workers must be employed as a large percent of the workforce now and in perpetuity. China gets a prize Mediteranean port out of the disappointment of being run out of Haifa by Mike Pompeo during his spring visit.
Lebanese banking is bankrupt, but this deal needs to be done as a partnership, with China getting 51% interest, or something. No $US need to be used. Win-Win for China and Lebanon.
I don’t even think Israel and the US will try to prevent such a deal. (The US can plan to sabotage China later, after it pays for all the work.)On Imperial public-private-partnerships:
A recent off-hand remark by one of America’s oligarchs points toward a new methodology for undermining what is left of international law and order. Speaking in earnest or in jest, nobody really knows, but smart money would certainly bet on the former, when admonished that the Bolivian coup that toppled President Evo Morales last year “wasn’t in the best interests of the Bolivian people,” Elon Musk, the Tesla electric car magnate, brazenly tweeted: “We will coup whoever we want. Deal with it!”Current (PCR) tests for active infection with SARS-CoV-2 are highly sensitive—but most are given to suspected COVID-19 patients long after the infected person has stopped transmitting the virus to others. That means the results are virtually useless for public-health efforts to contain the raging pandemic…
Furthermore, such tests detect tiny fragments of viral RNA even after the patient has recovered. Mina says that means “the vast majority of PCR positive tests we currently collect in this country are actually finding people long after they have ceased to be infectious.” In that sense, a positive result can be misleading, because the results can’t be relied on to guide the epidemiological efforts of public-health officials, which are focused on preventing transmission and controlling outbreaks: “The astounding realization is that all we’re doing with all of this testing is clogging up the testing infrastructure,” with results arriving a week or more after tests are administered, “and essentially finding people for whom we can’t even act because they are done transmitting.” In fact the testing backlog is so dire, and so “absolutely horrendously useless as a system for public-health surveillance,”…
What the country needs instead are rapid tests, widely deployed, so that infectious individuals can be readily self-identified and isolated, breaking the chain of transmission.
To do that, Mina says, everyone must be tested, every couple of days, with $1, paper-based, at-home tests that are as easy to distribute and use as a pregnancy test: wake up in the morning, add saliva or nasal mucous to a tube of chemicals, wait 15 minutes, then dip a paper strip in the tube, and read the results.
https://harvardmagazine.com/2020/08/covid-19-test-for-public-healthBashing effective hydroxychloroquine/zinc early outpatient treatment, fear and denial are still what the American media and CDC are pushing, so people die in hospitals alone.
Fauci seemed to be unaware that there actually was a national pandemic plan for respiratory viruses.
Following a careful regimen developed by doctors in France, some knowledgeable practicing U.S. physicians began prescribing hydroxychloroquine to patients still in the early phase of COVID infection. Its effects seemed dramatic. Patients still became sick, but for the most part they avoided hospitalization. In contrast — and in error — the NIH-funded studies somehow became focused on giving hydroxychloroquine to late-presenting hospitalized patients. This was in spite of the fact that unlike the drug’s early use in ambulatory patients, there was no real data to support the drug’s use in more severe hospitalized patients.
By April, it was clear that roughly seven days from the time of the first onset of symptoms, a COVID-19 infection could sometimes progress into a more radical late phase of severe disease with inflammation of the blood vessels in the body and immune system over-reactions. Many patients developed blood clots in their lungs and needed mechanical ventilation. Some needed kidney dialysis. In light of this pathological carnage, no antiviral drug could be expected to show much of an effect during this severe second stage of COVID.

Mechanisms of action would be complementary)
This trial found the treatments to be similarly well tolerated and similarly beneficial. Ivermectin had not statistically different lead.
https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-38896/v180 mg of Pepcid/famotidine, every 8 hours, for about 10 days, was a helpful treatment for COVID-19 in this case series. (Good luck finding any. Pharmacies are telling me to prescribe something else, because they don’t have any for standing refills.)

All of the medicines that work against novel-coronavirus are working in different ways than how they are used for other disease processes. Look in after 6:35 as Dr Seheult lectures and explains.

Corporations and governments are censoring dissent. We’re approaching a level of manufactured mass hysteria and herd mentality that not even Goebbels could have imagined.”

So whats the deal with finance anymore? Should we all expect interest rates to remain at zero for the rest of our lives, like i have since 2008?
Raul have you ever read anything by FOFOA?
With regards to hydroxychloroquine/zinc:
The only thing i can think of on why TPTB are so hostile to it, it would end their party early if it ended up being effective with COVID-19.
The longer this goes on the more it feels like a color revolution. Rest of the world hates trump as much as the left in america. Yo rest of the world, it us americas intelligence agencies. We know you hate trump as much as we do and you don’t want another 4 years of him. We’ve got this plan to totally tank the economy, not to mention its kinda on the ropes anyways. Can we count on you guys to go along? We’ll make sure you get boatloads of money. If this is true, then it destroys my idea that Trump is just a stooge.

Trump slaps tariffs on Canadian raw aluminum, says Canada was ‘taking advantage’
The Canadian Press August 6, 2020On July 8, Trudeau said he does not understand why Trump would even be considering restoring the tariffs. He said the U.S. doesn’t make enough aluminum to meet its own need, both economies were struggling under the weight of the pandemic, and tariffs would simply raise prices for U.S. manufacturers.
The Aluminium Association of Canada said raw exports fell 16 per cent in June, and 30 per cent in July.Keep the aluminum home. Let the USA import from China.
BIDEN
There was an amusing piece on a BBC ‘QI’I program about what is the minimum stimulus needed for a male turkey to attempt sex. It turns out to be a dead male turkey head mounted on a stick!
For the DNC Biden is the equivalent – the minimum stimulus for someone to vote Democrat!
Because of the villification of Trump supporters many will not admit to it, but WILL vote for Trump, so he can expect a larger support than shown in polls.
Given that millions may be made homeless I wonder how easy it will be for these people to vote. I am assuming they will be mainly Democrats.
The DNC represents the left wing in America [although not ‘left’ in the real world]. It is interesting that candidates who are true left are winning elections against traditional DNS incumbents [AOC, etc.]
Given the ‘force’ feeding of wealth into the ever open maws of the 0.1% it is no surprise that ordinary people are supporting Socialism. What other choice do they have!
The future of the US looks bleak, especially if Trump wins. Antifa may support ‘anarchy’ but in the real world anarchy comes down to who has the most guns! Imagine ‘The Purge’ happening day after day, especially with no police to stop it!
