NPC Grand Palace shoe shining parlor, Washington DC 1921 • Vitamin D New Hope In The War On Corona (DM) • Doctors Can Still Prescribe HCQ to Pa
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle June 18 2020]We’re well and truly stuck; everyday, a broken record…
Same old thing…same old thing…same old thing…same old thing……………..Jerry Nadler and his ilk, or even the “promising” rising stars like AOC, Warren, Tulsi, are the reason why I don’t listen to any politician at all. One has to have serious brain impairment or zero cognitive abilities to swallow their stupid sxxt. The perks and dough that come with the position are a powerful incentive to keep making sxxt up. I understand that. I once flew in a Gulfstream V, while enjoying such orgasmic experience I thought “this type of luxury is what makes telepreachers and politicians sell their soul to the devil”. And they don’t want to end up either like Paul Wellstone & family, James Traficant, Louis T. McFadden or Cinthya Mc Kinney and Ron Paul just to name a few.
What I should have mentioned here, but didn’t think of because of the timing, is Google demonetizing ZeroHedge. I find that ridiculous because my relationship with Tyler has been very good through the years even if we don’t always share all of our opinions, and Tyler is not some extreme fool, ZeroHedge simply has its own opinion, and that’s something we should all celebrate, even if those opinions are not our own.
This also makes me think once again about how used I’ve become to Google stealth-demonitizing the Automatic Earth over the past years. They couldn’t do that with ZH because of its size, but with TAE they can.
It hurts Tyler because they got all these people they have on the payroll, it hurts TAE because AdSense was always so important to revenues, the same as with so many small sites.
I love being independent of anything and anyone, it’s a prerequisite to what I do, and then it turns out that I am still dependent on that one party that should be neutral: Google. Revenue is down 90% or so from its peaks, and that makes no sense no matter what numbers you look at.
I am actively looking for an ad service that could replace Google, but since they have a near monopoly, that is not easy. Suggestions welcome, but don’t waste my time. I know what goes on.
No, VA, these are exciting times!
I guess I fail to see that…
Exciting times for whom?
In a rigged game it’s difficult to get too optimistic…No, VA, these are exciting times!
I guess I fail to see that…
Exciting times for whom?For me! I am back in Athens!
Don’t you get all grumpy on me now.
Tyler is one real person? I thought “he” was plural.
One person’s excitement is another person’s anxiety.
On cspan right now: “National Guard and Operation Warp Speed Confirmations”. Hunh?
Warp Speed is the vaccine/treatment program. I really don’t want to listen to the hearing, but confirmations of who for what? What’s the national guard have to do with it? I don’t like this at all.Vitamin D levels turn out to be clinically significant. That’s why everyone had to stay indoors. No mention of sunscreen as a cause for low D levels. I’m surprised rickets hasn’t returned.
Gen. Gustave Perna (Warp Speed COO nominee) saying he’ll make sure operations move quickly.
NO NO NO NO! No military!I’m so happy you finally made it to Greece, RIM. May the gods smile on you and leave you be so you and your group may flourish.
Glad you had a trip that will give you a personal insight into the future of leisure travel.
Were you the only one having a “vacation trip?”
Are seniors travelling? (You can spot them by the color of their hair)

Look on the bright side – look at the trends.“Close to 45 million people in the European Union are under some form of jobless subsidy.
Despite massive temporary jobless schemes, unemployment is soaring.”
——
US weekly jobless claims hit 1.5 million, bringing the 13-week total to 46 million
——-“development of herd immunity is taking much longer than expected. “
Wait, its going to improve. So far nobody gets the virus more than once or die more than once.

• Dr. Fauci, Health Officials Flag Coronavirus Risk Of Trump’s Tulsa Rally (CNBC)
Old people, obese people, are being recomended not to attend (Trump is old and obese)In case anyone gets optimistic, I remind us that the Jeffrey Epstein remains buried. It was made official today:
As for the military and Op Warp Speed: when you occupy your own streets to enforce compliant use of medicine that doesn’t work, your government is about done. My fear is that the military will be humbled by popular resistance, and then we’ll really get to work burning the place down.
THE ‘PANDEMIC’ IS AS BAD AS A COUNTRY WANTS IT TO BE!
As you say, the vitamin D effect is old news. I had expected it to be more widely reported at the time, especially as Asians and blacks were disproportionately affected by C-19 and it could be the reason. I would expect people in care homes don’t get much sunshine either.
Although it is only correlation it fits in with our understanding of the importance of vitamin D in fighting infection. It is a cheap supplement – you can probably get a months supply for a dollar so better to take it.
It seems that HCQ+zinc is close to being 100% effective IF given as soon as the symptoms become serious. Of course this is from doctors actually trying to save the lives of their patients, not anti-Trumpers or those with links to the pharmaceutical industry.
The most impressive story is Spain, which used to be the worst country in Europe for C-19. I read a couple of articles saying Spain was using HCQ widely so started checking their stats, then about three weeks ago the number of daily deaths plummeted to single figures, and they have reported that there have been NO DEATHS REPORTED IN THE PAST TEN DAYS!
It seems that there is little interest from the media or other countries in what Spain has been doing which implies they WANT to have a continuing horror story. The possible reasons are disturbing, such as COMPULSORY extreme tracking or COMPULSORY vaccination [and micro-chipping?].
Nobody want to know the truth.

Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk,The full round was entertaining: A foreign political actor used an NBC reporter to CREATE a story — instead of reporting one — by asking/demanding Google ban NBC’s financial news competition. Google joyfully complied. So foreign agents prompt an end of freedom of speech and plausible election-rigging in service of a monopoly destroying competition.
…Snap goes the trap. So Google will ban not the sites, but the COMMENTS section, that is, the public itself. But ZH comments are notoriously rude and saucy. Don’t matter: the same rude bois go to NBC, HuffPo, all over to say the same rude things…but compliant, election-rigging sites are not banned, although the anti-war left is. Don’t see why it should matter. As we see with Flynn, DACA, other court/SC rulings, they just say “We don’t like it so we made up a rule the legislators didn’t say.” “The Law is in my mouth.” You know, like ACA, aka Schrodinger’s Tax. “’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.” Newsflash: We’re not the master; we’re the slaves. Might makes right. Power is the master, by any means necessary.
Whether you like the recent ruling, the SC is at it again with conflating sex and gender, one of which is social. And in NY for example, “gender” is literally ANY THING you wish it to be. So if your gender involves being naked and robbing people, or dressing up like a yellow cat and crawling on all fours on your salesman rounds, that’s legally protected. You’d think that’s crazy, but it took about a week for people to say they were “women” and enter sports and visit little girls’ bathrooms too. Even I thought trouble from that take time and be real but minor. Nope. Noticeable and instant. Women’s protections trampled and made unsafe. That’s why words have meanings. But if you can’t change the law, change the meaning of the words in the law instead. Reality is whatever I say it is.
Keeping up with Chaz, or in this case “Chop” (“What did they do during the French Revolution??? Chop!” – Actual quote from CHAZ meeting.)
Chaz has moved seamlessly from colonization, violence, police brutality, suppression of due process, religion, and human rights, into race-slavery: “A post that appeared on the subreddit for the Seattle ‘CHAZ’ autonomous zone that has been taken over by left-wing extremists suggests rounding up all the white people and organizing them into forced work brigades.”
That’s right: depending solely on your pigmentation, you are now officially captured and enslaved, though not transported…yet. But like I said, these guys just love slavery. Don’t know why. Love Apple, love Nike, love Amazon, love Weinstein, major fund raiser, love Epstein major political power-player for decades and his buddy’s clothes in Victoria’s Secret, love human trafficking across the border, and the poor maligned coyotes who do the trafficking before INS stops to give 13-year-olds their pregnancy tests. Love slavery in forcing smart, highly-trained doctors to give them care for free, love slavery when they print money and get free Cheetos on the couch provided by others who work. Love, love, love. They are the party of love-bricks and love-arson, the party that re-established open-air slave markets, and now the proud party of race slavery here at home.
But thankfully the statues of abolitionists have been removed by the roving safety council in black masks and carrying bats, and so long as we love being beaten in the streets we are indeed safe…from being beaten some more. What a crazy day.
““I can help keep a lookout for them, how do they look like?” asks one CHAZ occupier. “What are the signs to identify them? I would think going up to ask them is dangerous.”
“Anyone that is white,” says a respondent.”
Stunning and brave. Tolerance and diversity in action.
Meanwhile, back in the real world: “Harvard Professor: “Defunding The Police Is Not A Solution And Could Cost Thousands Of Black Lives”
Hope they didn’t spend a lot of money on that study. The Black community, along with minorities, whites, and a majority of all Americans agree. Except for these tiny fringe lunatics – fronted by rich, white progressives, but backed by most major establishment media and corporations – everyone wants police with reform. So they are therefore measurably AGAINST what the black and minority communities want. …And told Black people to shut up about it at the Chaz. They didn’t notice. Irony is dead, because it requires rules, thoughts, and words to have meanings.
While this is going on, open riots shoulder to shoulder, liquor stores are essential, Church is cancelled permanently, and they’re attacking Jews at funerals, welding their gardens shut.Wish I were making it up.
So…does the side attacking Jews, supporting open, active anti-Semites like Farrakhan, Ilhan Omar, and the Women’s March people, does trampling the black community and doing the opposite of what they say, to say nothing of destroying the jobs and livelihoods of 200M working people and burning their much-needed mostly inner-city businesses say, “Are we the baddies here” yet? Nope. Not on your life. That would require self-reflection of ego, which cannot be restrained by mere #Logic and #Physics. That would require submission to #Logos, which is the very rebellion they stand for.
As you like it. As you wish. However, know that in #Reality, cause and effect are not actually suspended and rules and consequences do still exist.
Well, at least Paw Patrol and Fawlty Towers have been banned. Hattie McDaniel and Candice Owens have been silenced. Books are burned, Jews are driven out of public spaces. The world is safe for tolerance and diversity again.

Give it a few minutes. He hang glides with the bird. Way cool.
Thank god our culture is collapsing. Otherwise, we’d eventually have national parks with with theme music piped in everywhere.
How Michael Jackson’s star ever came to eclipse that of this brillieant genius explains in part why we’re so screwed now.
Here’s something that is not the same old same old: Gene Drive Files. It’s a website that covers the following. [I still haven’t got links down.]
“Gene drives are a gene-editing application that allows genetic engineers to drive a single artificial trait through an entire population by ensuring that all of an organism’s offspring carry that trait. For example, recent experiments are fitting mice with ‘daughterless’ gene drives that will cascade through mouse populations so that only male pups are born, ensuring that the population becomes extinct after a few generations.”What fun! We’re gonna chop out links in the Great Chain of Being!
[I got this from over at Rappoport today.]Notice that Ilargi spoke of “Tyler”, then “they”, and has in the somewhat distant past speculated about “the Tyler Durdens”.

Martin Gugino, the 75 year old man, protesting in Buffalo week before last, who was shoved in the chest by riot police, took steps back and fell (off camera) DID have a basilar skull fracture from that fall. I was dubious, since the steps back, as he lowered himself, looked fairly controlled. A statement Tuesday by his lawyer makes it clear that he did have a skull fracture and cannot walk properly as a result. This confirms my initial impression when apparent blood came from his right ear. I had reconsidered that impression, looking at how he lay still and calm, with smartphone in hand, and considering how mild the fall looked. Others had also questioned whether this was a real injury. It was. This has been brought up by a couple of correspondents, and may have been an unvoiced concern to others.
I do not want to be a partisan. I want to find out the truth, and share useful information, so that we can cooperatively rebuild our human economy, in a way that respects our place in nature. I think we can be good stewards of life on Earth.
In a recent statement to CNN, Gugino’s attorney Kelly Zarcone revealed that Gugino suffered a skull fracture due to the unnecessary violence of the police officers that day, and Gugino is currently unable to walk. According to Zarcone, Gugino remains in rehabilitation.
“I am not at liberty to elaborate at this time other than to confirm that his skull was fractured,” Zarcone said. “While he is not able to walk yet, we were able to have a short conversation before he became too tired. He is appreciative of all of the concern about him but he is still focused on the issues rather than himself.”Buffalo protester Martin Gugino diagnosed with fractured skull
Ranking of places to catch coronavirus by likelihood puts bars and big indoor concerts first, followed by sports stadiums, gyms, amusement parks, churches and buffets.
It’s reducing tiers of risk from there.
Libraries/museums, grocery stores, hotels and golf courses are just above self-serve gas stations.

For the Immunologically inclined, here is a good summary of immune system responses and stages of response to coronavirus. The innate immune response is the first line of defense, and may stop the virus in the nose for many people, sometimes without even developing an antibody response. If the virus gets into the system, like lungs or gut, then the adaptive immune response has to protect the body, mounting an antibody response in time. There is a lot of complex activity by the white blood cells, too. Sometimes it can’t find the elusive virus, and other times, it may go too far, attack too widely, and cause death by “cytokine storm”.

He is not fit for office
Right.
Its a good thing that there are people behind the curtain.
Its even better that its not me. ( They would be having a funeral for me rather than follow my orders.)
Democrates will be on their knees for the next week with their ear buds tuned to the latest news.
Hillary will be making special prayers requests.If prayers and wishes were granted then we would no longer need them.
Defund the police
Where will municipality find the money that they need?
1. Grants from higher level of governments
2. Raise taxes
3. Cut costs of operation
ie .Lower the # of employed people, Change functions, reduce functions, upload responsibilities to other agencies,
keep police for homicide,
Use lower paid people for speed traps, parking fees, social, mental intervention, drug education, riot, demonstration, ambulance service, merge services, etc.Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I could be worst.
“The cost of late unemployment benefits will not just damage the labor force and recovery – but has already resulted in thousands of people swarming a government building in at least one state – pleading for help as the economic depression crushes their household finances. “
Exciting times for whom?
For me! I am back in Athens!
Don’t you get all grumpy on me now.
Ah, well of course I can understand that. I’d be excited to be in Greece too.
But, Thailand still does it for me. 😉
@75, I reserve the right to a little grumpyness sometimes… 😉Ilargi,
“Greatest commercial I’ve ever seen” is a category akin to “best crewcut ever”.
That being said, that may have been the most painfully frank commercial I have ever seen.
Robert Lee is a straight up dude.
Here, in the same spirit, but with a whole lot more flair and some fancier pictures, is Southern Culture On The Skids, with “My House Has Wheels”. Great band; great song.
John Day:
Your house on wheels reminded me of a fellow I worked with in Gallup, New Mexico!
Being in contraction he, like so many, lived in a mobile home, in a trailer park.
One day as usual he left at 5 AM for work in his pick up truck. He put in the standard 12 hour work day. He then went home.
When he arrived home, about 7 PM, his wife, house, and car were gone!
For good measure she also cleaned out his bank account! She left no forwarding address!
About 6 months later he located her in Arizona!
A large percentage of people out west, live in mobile homes. Homes with wheels! The American dream!
