    So what’s with white Republicans who @ 56% are unsure/will not take the vaccine? Their Golden One put all his chips on the vaccine strategy; he counts this as one of his great successes. Apparently he and Melania were vaccinated privately before leaving the WH? Can someone please explain the disconnect when it comes to his “followers” not following?

    NOTE: I am a white “Democrat” who is not getting vaccinated.

    You gotta LOVE Edward Snowden. He is a hero. A man of integrity – he walks the talk. Smart. Kind Heart. Brave too.

    RE: “I would say this is sort of unusual… we’re all spread all over the world in different rooms, everybody’s locked up… but for me this is how I’ve always lived.”

    Here in rural Northern CA, our lockdown was mild since we are blessed with very few people and miles of trails, mountains, and forests. However, ALL all of my many commitments and soul focused diversions – such as YOGA classes, committee meetings, Board meetings, the Art Center and Gallery (where I work), bars, restaurants – were completely “closed down”. Therefore I found myself FREE. Very FREE. And I have LOVED every moment.

    This is NOT how I have always lived. It has been an opportunity to live like my more introverted friends who throughout, were no longer feeling guilty for not being more engaged. Am admiring Snowden for musing about how everyone is suddenly “living like he’s always lived”. I want him to know that it has had a positive impact on some people. As things ramp back up – as they must, I am so much more thoughtful in my choices, where I focus my energies, and how I do my work. More detachment, less attachment to outcomes. Am certain that staying positive in the PRESENT is the key. BEing PRESENT in the present is a present.

    Data On Long Covid In UK Children Is Cause For Concern, Scientists Say (G.)
    “Recently published data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has caused worry. The data suggest that 13% of under 11s and about 15% of 12- to 16-year-olds reported at least one symptom five weeks after a confirmed Covid-19 infection.”

    A recent letter in the British Medical Journal BMJ gives more context about these “long covid” symptoms, and points out the lack of a “comparator group” in that data. Some of the reported symptoms are in line with, or lower than, the prevalence in the general population.

    The Office for National Statistics (ONS) prevalence of 12.9% (primary school age) and 15% (secondary school age) of long covid are widely quoted. So how much should parents and their children worry, and does this worry warrant vaccination?

    The ONS figures need context. Our understanding is that they represent the proportion of children who—within five weeks of a positive covid-19 test—have one of the following symptoms: fatigue, cough, headache, loss of taste or smell, myalgia, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea, or abdominal pain. For some of these symptoms the ONS reported prevalence is as follows: fatigue 3.5%; cough 4%; headache 5.3%; loss of taste or smell 2%; myalgia 1.7%. These seem in line with or lower than the population prevalence—for example, cough reported in an unselected cohort of 7670 children aged 1-18, or headache and fatigue in children from a representative Finnish cohort. Given current high levels of family and community stress we would expect the prevalence of some of these symptoms to be higher.

    The prevalence estimates being discussed need a comparator group, and to be interpreted with much more caution, especially given the lack of a dedicated case definition for children. Specifically, we need to know how many survey participants (by age) without covid-19 had similar symptoms.

    Here’s a guy kissing his own *ss.

    ““Did You Agree To This? Everybody’s Locked Up” – Edward Snowden (ZH)”

    They will do this ‘til you stop them. And torture your kids. Or better, have you do it in Toronto. “I love you! Now get in this iron box with an iron mask.” “It puts the lotion on it’s hands…” — Mommy Dearest.

    “the better to transfer wealth up the pyramid to those at the top, and in addition gift vast amounts of money to itself and its cronies. Now they are “going for broke” as the debt bubble has become so monstrous that it is running away, so they are creating money at a prodigious rate – which is why the stockmarket keeps going up – in full awareness that before too much longer the whole thing will fly apart as the debt bubble explodes, interest rates will spike uncontrollably, there will be a short-lived rally in the dollar before it reverses and plunges into the abyss, stockmarkets will plunge as credit markets lock up, and the world goes Mad Max – and once this happens it will happen very, very fast. In the meantime, while they create fantastic amounts of money, they are averting the hyperinflation that this would otherwise cause by killing the economy with lockdowns, so that there is no money velocity, and they are therefore able to buy up distressed assets at firesale prices and also colonize the world by pumping trillions of dollars through foreign Central Banks – you won’t hear much about that though. Quite often you see long-winded articles trying to explain why the lockdowns are ineffective, but these innocent (or misguided) writers completely miss the point, which is that the lockdowns are not about containing the virus – you don’t lock up healthy people, you lock up sick people – but have much more nefarious objectives which are, as mentioned above, to kill the economy to slow the velocity of money to zero so that the Central banks can print money at prodigious rates and literally “buy up the world” with the added bonus that they damage people’s health and make them more desperate, so that they are more likely to submit…” Clive Maund

    Look on the bright side though: they did it because they couldn’t get Hillary Clinton’s war!

    “A convenient scapegoat for a complete financial collapse could of course be a massive cyberattack and – just by coincidence you understand – the NWO have been running simulations of massive cyberattacks for some time notably Cyber Polygon 2020, with a big one scheduled for this coming July, which could, like the prophetic Event 201 in NYC in October 2019, presage just such an event, which would further the Great Reset agenda” –Maund

    Event 201? Naw, Cleetus, that Mr. Gates is just super-duper lucky that he did the exact simulation in that exact month. Totally unrelated. And Gates owns farmland. Because he expects supplies to stay strong, prices to go down, and he’s just that kind of nice guy.

    “When you have the bulk of the population believing that their personal comfort, safety and wellbeing is of paramount importance, you have a population of unprincipled spineless cowards. Now, there is an old but true saying that for evil to flourish, all that is necessary is for good people to do nothing. Well, good people (and not so good) have been doing nothing, or not a lot, for a long time now, and while good has been taking its ease, evil, which is tireless and always looking for an opening, has seized power and gained total control” –Maund

    ” Coronavirus Crisis Unlikely To Be Over By The End Of The Year – WHO (G.)”

    Says the people who were wrong about everything so far, and the reporters who reported it wrong each of 365 days. That’s who I listen to! If they had it right, they’re crazy and wrong!

    “WHO Panel: Hydroxychloroquine Should Not Be Used To Prevent COVID-19 (Hill)”

    I rest my case. What Science are they using for this?

    “Data On Long Covid In UK Children Is Cause For Concern, Scientists Say (G.)”

    I rest my case. So far as reported a year later, zero kids had COVID. So who are they referring to?

    “US, EU Set to Impose Sanctions On Russia (NBC)”

    NBC, not being news, doesn’t seem to realize A) it won’t happen, and B) they won’t care. That is, nobody cares about Russian sanctions. They only lose a customer as Moscow buys from China instead. I mean, you thought the U.S., U.K. actually made anything? What would they buy from us? Obesity and pron?

    “Duckworth Calls For Russian Bounties Intelligence To Be Declassified (Hill)”

    I assume Duckworth, being an idiot, doesn’t realize it was all a lie, like everything else released by the Letter agencies over the last 50 years.

    Hey, did you catch BBC and Reuters not only being PAID by British MI6, but actually spend their time BIDDING ON CONTRACTS for them? That is, not Reuters being “salted”, “fooled” by Bellingcat and other totally transparent mouthpieces, hiring known CIA liars like Brennan, no. Reuters reads the BID for open misinformation, influence, and espionage from MI6, then accepts the contract and gets paid as a major source of income. That is, there is no journalism at all. It’s completely espionage and election-tampering. P.S. that’s been true always. They just released 50-year old FOIA records where Reuters did this in the 70’s against the Soviets. They released a press issue “Yes, that was then, it was different times, we don’t do that anymore…” aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the next day Reuters is shown to be still doing it, i.e. constantly lying, being totally anti-truth, every day, more than ever.

    And BBC too. Of course! They’re the ones pulling the RIDICULOUS Syrian gas hoax, the somehow, impossibly-more-ridiculous Skripal hoax, the even more transparent Steele hoax, and every other story they’ve ever printed, like the no-polar-bears and no-snow-in-10-years hoax. Lies lies lies lies. But they are British, after all. Hoax Hoax Hoax Hoax Hoax. Lies and more lies to create yet another war, as every war I can think of came from the British.

    Speaking of:
    Stefan Halper’s Role in Crossfire Hurricane Larger than Previously Known (ET)”

    …As if ANYONE on the whole planet didn’t already know this, and about the British. And then there’s TIME Magazine that SAID, openly, they rigged the election. And using the Steele/Halper/MI6 election-tampering material. I say nuke London so they’ll support democracy and remember not to do that anymore. That’s what they said to Russia, right?

    “Bernie Sanders Vows to Force Vote On $15 Minimum Wage (Hill)”

    Bernie never met a power he wouldn’t roll over for. Sadly. As in: Jimmy Dore ALREADY wanted to force the vote on M4A over Pelosi, and they said “Over our dead bodies”. But they care so much about this. Right.

    It’s still lucky $15 won’t get out since it will spark inflation, destroy the poor and make the rich stock holdings wildly richer (and me), but I wouldn’t call it a GOOD thing. They’ll just destroy the poor slower. You know, like in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore…

    “Odyssey Banned for Violence, Sexism; Is this the End of World Classics? (GR)”

    Yes, AntiFa and the Left are already banning books like a coven of lemon-sucking Church ladies. They Burned books all summer. So tell me a time when the people burning books…and burning ethnic neighborhoods in cities…were the good guys? I’ll wait.

    They say they’re burning black neighborhoods to help black people, but they’re just finishing off Black Business so Feinstein can “Build Back Better.”

    Your war map missed the United States. Gun violence in every DNC gun-banned city, 30,000 deaths from opioids alone overseen by the DEA, AMA, and approved by Congress, 177,000 soldiers and police, 114,000 soldier suicides, 45,000 citizen suicides, 67,000 drug overdoses, 70,000 approved prescription drug deaths, 21,000 infant mortality, worse than Cuba. These are all preventable and re-approved and expanded with each year of my life. …Should I go on?

    Susmarire: Um, because they’re not Trump-bots at all like the media claims and mostly think for themselves? Why on earth WOULD you think they should do what he says? Liberty people are not followers. Of anyone. They’re Independents. That’s both their strength and their weakness. But to me that reads like a non-sequitor. Joe doesn’t want $15 wage, so why don’t 53% of his Democratic base immediately agree with him? See? Of course they don’t. The idea itself is odd.

    Moon of Alabama deleted this comment from a CV19 article he had the other day. I don’t see whats so inflammatory about it considering some of the others he lets thru. Dr. D and i are of the same mind:

    What if you never corrected the problems from the 2008 GFC and you couldn’t admit it? Perhaps after a decade of 0% interest rates, you started to raise them again to build “confidence” in the system. Then in December of 2018 the smallish reductions to your balance sheet and raising rates to the astronomical level of 2.5% blows the system up again. The market crashes and beginning in 2019 you start to lower rates again. But lowering the rates doesn’t help anything because the system is drowning in debt and you can’t liquidate it except for the lowest of classes who you care nothing about, but liquidating it to fix the system would destroy your base of power. Then in the fall of 2019 the REPO market begins to go critical, but!!!!! you can’t start up QE and bailouts again, not in the fall of 2019. What would you blame it on? Orange man bad? Wouldn’t be enough you need something more. So suddenly in the spring of 2020 you get covid and the lord has dropped a reason into your lap to print print print baby! Who would blame you? The pandemic is so bad you just have to print even more money then in all the years since 2008 combined. Power is everything to the people who “rule” the world. Do you think something like this is beyond them?

    That map of armed conflicts was very interesting. How many of us would have correctly identified our southern neighbor Mexico as a country with a major war and 10,000+ deaths in the past year? Not me. I thought that the Chiapas conflict was only simmering these days, so is the author of that map counting the drug war casualties?

    Thank you for posting it here.

    I think you have a valid question, and it is not inflammatory in the slightest. When someone (or a group of someones) can’t stand to even look at the question you are asking, that means they don’t have an answer and you’re making them uncomfortable. Hence our rampant cancel culture.

    So the WHO is openly lying again and nobody seems to notice!
    The WHO said there is no proof that hydroxychlorquine “prevents” you from being infected with covid-19.
    No, hydroxychlorquine is used to safely “treat” you if you get covid-19!
    A big difference if you understand the meaning of words!

    The $15 minimum wage.

    joe told his rich backers nothing will change.

    joe has never supported the $15 minimum wage.
    joe has opened the border to let people flood in to ensure there is plenty of cheap labor available.
    These people compete for low paying jobs against poor Americans keeping wages low.

    AOC and Bernie are playing their assigned theatre roles by providing joe the neccessary cover.
    Clearly they don’t believe in the $15 minimum wage either.

    Just in case you are wondering why so many unaccompanied children are suddenly crossing the border these days now that joe is here, wonder no more!

    It is all about money!

    Trump unsuccessfully tried to shutdown these church businesses but congress wouldn’t let him. Trump certainly reduced the flow of children and therefore the churches’ revenues.

    You see for each child that crosses the border, churches running orphanages receive $60,000 per year, from the US government, to look after the children until they reach 18 years of age. Yes it is a multi hundred million dollar business for these so called churches!

    Studies have shown that these so called churches spend less than $7,000 per child per year. That leaves a lot of money for administration! And annual kick backs to uniparty congress!

    It has been documented that these so called churches pay bounties of up to $15,000 for each child smuggled across the border by the cartels!

    Now you know why the border is wide open these days.

    So the WHO says the endemic isn’t likely to be over by the end of the year.
    Of course not!
    That would reduce the power of the WHO and the money they receive in their Swiss bank accounts!
    This endemic will never be over!

    Trying to remember who it was, here, saying “lockdowns™ work!.. masks work!..”, not so very long ago, while a few erstwhile readers and commenters gently- or otherwise- dissented..

    Yep- those devices and instrumentalities *sure do* work: to destroy mental health; to destroy civil society, proper; to destroy the productive capacity of the Citizenry; but who could have ever known all that ??

    And now: more masks (what today’s mask quotient? 3.84 at 2pm PST, I heard), but that’s subject to [eternal] revision..
    vaccines without end; surveillance without end; an elite-created tech-Hellscape without end-

    Hoping that the ‘Why Lockdowns Work’ piece gets re-posted here, so we can all be the wiser, ten months later- I looked for a link to the original, but (oddly) could not find it.

    I second the question about Mexico being in a major war. I last vacationed there 30 years ago. There was no major war. I’ve been there and seen one. But I did see Huey helicopters parked in an open field used in drug raids. Senator Ted Cruz took an aborted tour of the war zone a couple weeks ago. The Establishment cannot admit that a major war is ongoing within the Americas with Drug Cartels. They finance Wall Street. The USA is a major market. Plus, this is how the connected earn their bribes and bonuses.

    If drums start beating for a war in the Americas, then the Corporate/State Generals will have to start talking about winning “hearts and minds” and “pacification” – not just in Mexico but the Elite will include the seditionists in “El Norte” (the 75 million MAGA voters and roughly 40 million Progressives). There is no way Canada can avoid collateral damage.

    The percent of people refusing to take the vamped up cancer therapy mRNA masquerading as a ‘vaccine’ is a litmus test in itself; for gullibility.

    The Pathocratic Oligarchy just wants to know who will do what.

    They are laughing at the plebs by floating triple masks and anal swabs.

    Pretty soon, you’ll be asked to stand on your head and spit wooden nickels. And 93% of the Democrats will jump at the possibility.
