Vincent van Gogh Lane near Arles 1888 • The Trial of Winnie the Pooh (Jim Kunstler) • 88% Of COVID Deaths Are In Countries With Over Half Of Pe
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 6 2021]• The Trial of Winnie the Pooh (Jim Kunstler)
That Kunstler piece is just…just…just…just incrediblely excellent…
I never in my life read such an excellent piece of literature…aimed at todays world…
Kunstler rules…
Thanks Ilargi…Arles is no doubt a strip mall now. Google Earth it.
“Prof Andrew Hayward, a member of the UK government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), has said society will have to live with a degree of mortality that will be “substantial”, but added that we will “get back to normal”
And where has he been since I said this in January 2020? Why is every uneducated troll living under a bridge like me smarter than every expert who ever lived? Because normal people can see and interact with a thing we call “reality”, not just their own minds. As the Buddhists would say, Moha, “delusion”. The more mind you have, the more delusion. When you work at the car shop and ride 4 wheelers, it’s all contact, all real world, less delusion. Back to when FDR decided we all get rich and end hunger by plowing under crops. And any 2-plow pair of jackasses were smarter than that and refused to plow them under. That was his “Brain Trust”. Haaaavard. And those guys were certified geniuses compared to the mouth-breathing inbred morons deciding things now.
Anyway, so I’m glad a Professor and Scientist can finally see what any moron, every curry-shop dishwasher in Blackpool figured out a year ago. And screamed about. And were arrested for. Better late than never.
“we have a vaccine that definitely has no side effects..”
RussiaRussiaRussia. We’ll kill half a million people before we allow Russia to sell their vaccine.
“trial published on Thursday in the journal JAMA.”
Am I impressed when The Lancet published and entirely, totally false, totally exposed debunked research almost a year ago? Nope. They’re “Experts”, no matter who they kill, how many millions, personal family members, we keep going back. 10,000 mass murderers are not discredited, much less arrested. Having printed Vioxx and the Statin hoax, JAMA is no different.
“vaccine passport system that would allow the return to pre-Covid-19 activities,”
“Professor,” proving my point. As others here have said, if A) the virus is everywhere, B) with variants, C) with vaccines for everyone who needs one D) that work, then OBVIOUSLY there is NO POSSIBLE need for said passport. EVERYONE is already safe, with or without “papers please.” A PhD cannot figure this out. 1 + 1 + 1 equals? “I obey any authority. Submit or die.” Sorry, Doc, that is not a number, it’s a non sequitur. Same Professors that hyperventilate to approve 90% bills that have nothing to do with Covid or economy, but are bribes and political payoffs.
“these Democrats … have wimped out”
As Jimmy Dore says every day. It’s a scam, they are screwing you with intentional betrayal, failure, and double-cross, which is what they need co-WWE-wrestlers in there to create the theatre like McConnell. But as I wrote in “Political Ironies” this betrayal, reversal, this LIE, is 100% of the time. Apparently if you want something, vote the guy who says the opposite.
“The Myths Of Green Energy (CHS)”
As Kunstler says, they’re going to go medieval. If we weren’t lying with every breath about what that was like, we wouldn’t mind so much and enjoy a break from the mindless coke-fueled hysteria we live now where people on private jets poison every brook and pave everything. Instead, they believe if you go backward, you take all. If you light a candlestick, you must own a slave. If you hire people in manufacturing, you must light the Cuyahoga river on fire. If you ride a horse, you will get the Black Plague. If you cruise in a 1954 Lincoln, you are required to install separate water fountains. I kid you not this is the VERY FIRST thing out of people’s mouths when you want to de-energize the Religion of Progress. Like other religions, apparently they are very, very mentally ill, because otherwise, how are these things even related?
“Inaction is simply not an option..”
Nice quote, but inaction is not only an option, it’s an inevitability. This is government we’re talking about. Inaction is their default setting 99% of days. Besides, Joe needs those kids since he’s re-authorized human trafficking. So…they are complaining they haven’t released kids in 72 hours.
To WHERE????????????????
I wouldn’t hold runaways for truancy, then release them into South Bronx or worse, San Frio St, San Antonio. So you have 3 choices: 1) hold them together in concentration camps. 2) hold them separately in cages 3) Have no border and let everyone go. Or 4, what conservatives say, have a border, a wall if necessary, and re-deport them to stop the incentive and the people flow, cut off human trafficking, and stop 100 people with medieval diseases or even Covid from being released into the population throughout Texas. Nah. Importing medieval diseases and encouraging profits from human trafficking is pure love. Stopping it would be mean.
Anyway, so you have to release the kids, but have no adults whatsoever, and don’t know if those adults are at all related, but less not child-pimps and traffickers? Explain to me how this works.
“Legislature Strips Cuomo of Emergency Powers (ZH)”
All GOP claimed to be gone, in disarray, but it’s easier than ever to remove Poster child DNC Presidential candidates for mass-murder, or far worse, inappropriate comments? I know they eat their own, but really. No idea where this pressure is coming from, and that is really strange. I assume it’s from some impossibly wide coalition like NY Business association, i.e. everyone. You know, plus his old enemies and new power-maniacs making a play.
“US, Allies Drop 46 Bombs Per Day for 20 Years (MPN)”
As Russell Brand says, apparently this is non-denominational, both parties overwhelmingly approve. The people vote it out each time, which is why they get more.
And the “rocket attack” now from Iraq, next article. Three whole rockets? Why haven’t we re-invaded? Clearly, this violence cannot stand, as the Dude said.
“Neoclassical Economics III: A Machine to Destroy the World (RWER)”
The people show over and over again they don’t want this. They are not the yeast, the germs in the petri dish. So who is? Who passes the laws, prints the money, defends the economics, harvests the earth? Ravi Balasubramanian? Won Lee? Joe the Plumber? Or non-doctor Gates and non-doctor Jill?
“The Catholic church promotes UBI.”Which only proves the claim we have an anti-pope. A) Catholics CREATE value, through work, as Adam did from his brow and Paul did from his tentmaking. B) Catholics duty to CHARITY is VOLUNTARY, their Christian impulse, and are abdicating their duty, their expression, their religion, in favor of outsourcing it to raw violence, i.e. the power of the state. Then they can keep all those gold statues and un-taxed palaces and stop having to smell poor people stinking it up. It’s wrong and anti-dogma from every angle. Many say this, e.g. in Obamacare, forcing death, outlawing Catholic Hospitals, and are shouted down as unthinking bigots, because no one will “ask them” for a “statement” and “listen.” It’s just too hard. How can I hate them like I already decided to if they have a human point of view? Better to “Other” them so my ego stays unchecked.
From Docktor’s point of view: Great! You know where the money is going to. Now where is it coming FROM? Who controls it? It comes FROM hard work, that is the only place things come from. It’s being controlled by a Club of Insiders and apparatchiks, those are the only controllers. And you ain’t in the Club. Therefore you’re being beaten with it. Duuuuuuuh. Don’t vote your own hard work away. Haven’t you noticed who the people are you’re handing it to?
“You’ll own nothing”… because WE will own EVERYTHING. And if you cross us, we own your food and medicine, your house, your wife, your children, because we believe in power and prisons, not the ridiculous “rights of man.” “Neo,” meaning new. “Feudal” meaning F’d.
The Dr. Seuss book is too simple. They wouldn’t get it. The political irony I guess is that someone can write a joke that direct, pointed, and obvious, and it still won’t sink through.
• Ivermectin Does Not Alleviate Mild Covid-19 Symptoms – Study (NYT)
Details of that study show that the ivermectin wasn’t taken by the patients until almost a week after the onset of symptoms. (The time from symptom onset to randomization was 4-6 days, median 5 days, plus perhaps another day before the ivermectin was dispensed.) Is this early enough to test the study’s hypothesis that “ivermectin would accelerate recovery in patients with COVID-19 when administered during the first days of infection.”
The JAMA article has this published response with some excellent questions from Eric Osgood, MD:
1. “Having received ivermectin within the previous 5 days,” was an exclusion criterion. The drug is used prophylactically monthly or every 2 weeks. Do we know if participants used it during a window outside the 5 days but recently enough where residual levels could have effects? If it does have benefit, couldn’t this explain why deterioration was so much rarer than anticipated based on the literature?
2. What measures were taken to ensure the placebo arm did not receive active drug prior to 9/29/20? Shouldn’t all placebo subjects have had serum ivermectin levels drawn?
3. Is “total symptom resolution” a validated metric?
4. Why do authors propose initial clinical deterioration rate of 18% was not even close to being met, and only 3.5% in the placebo arm worsened by 2 points? Could an explanation be what I proposed in question 1? With a placebo arm doing this well, would a statistically significant benefit of experimental arm even be mathematically possible?
5. Bioavailability of ivermectin is much greater if taken with a lipid-rich meal. Why were participants instructed to take it on an empty stomach?
6. Why was there no virological assessment?
“…. we are going to have to live with a degree of mortality that will be substantial … it will get less over time as more people get vaccinated and as more people get immune,….”

Purging Inconvenient Facts in Coverage of Biden’s ‘First’ Air Attacks
GREGORY SHUPAKTo praise Biden’s killings, corporate media pretended the US was fighting back against a bully. Max Boot of the Washington Post (2/26/21),
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/02/26/biden-iran-saudi-arabia-syria/
Opinion: Biden actually has a strategy for the Middle East, not just a Twitter account
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least 17 pro-Iran fighters had been killed.http://www.arabnews.com/node/1816066/middle-east
US bombs facilities in Syria used by Iran-backed militia; monitor counts 17 killedSOHR says all casualties were fighters of the Popular Mobilization Forces
The strikes were in retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier this month, says US defense department
WASHINGTON/BEIRUT: The United States launched airstrikes in Syria on Thursday, targeting facilities near the Iraqi border used by Iranian-backed militia groups.US defense officials announced the strikes without providing details and with no mention of casualties, saying only that they were retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier this month that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a US service member and other coalition troops.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said Friday that at least 17 pro-Iran fighters were killed in the US strikes in Syria at the Iraq border overnight.
“The strikes destroyed three lorries carrying munitions… There were many casualties. Preliminary indications are that at least 17 fighters were killed, all members of Popular Mobilization Forces,” the director of the SOHR, Rami Abdul Rahman, told AFP, referencing the powerful coalition of pro-Iran Iraqi paramilitaries.
The airstrike was the first military action undertaken by the Biden administration, which in its first weeks has emphasized its intent to put more focus on the challenges posed by China, even as Mideast threats persist.
Biden’s decision to attack in Syria did not appear to signal an intention to widen US military involvement in the region but rather to demonstrate a will to defend US troops in Iraq.
“I’m confident in the target that we went after, we know what we hit,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters flying with him from California to Washington.
Speaking shortly after the airstrikes, he added, “We’re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militants that conducted the strikes,” referring to a Feb. 15 rocket attack in northern Iraq that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a US service member and other coalition personnel.
Austin said he recommended the action to Biden.
“We said a number of times that we will respond on our timeline,” Austin said. “We wanted to be sure of the connectivity and we wanted to be sure that we had the right targets.”
Earlier, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the US action was a “proportionate military response” taken together with diplomatic measures, including consultation with coalition partners.
“The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel,” Kirby said. “At the same time, we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to deescalate the overall situation in eastern Syria and Iraq.”
Kirby said the US airstrikes “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian- backed militant groups,” including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid Al-Shuhada. The US has blamed Kataib Hezbollah for numerous attacks targeting US personnel and interests in Iraq in the past.Further details were not immediately available.
Mary Ellen O’Connell, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, criticized the US attack as a violation of international law.
“The United Nations Charter makes absolutely clear that the use of military force on the territory of a foreign sovereign state is lawful only in response to an armed attack on the defending state for which the target state is responsible,” she said. “None of those elements is met in the Syria strike.”
Summary of Ivermectin trials:
https://c19ivermectin.com/That link from island raider (above) has a good critique of the ivermectin study published by the JAMA (March 4).
Early treatment study, López-Medina et al., JAMA
Effect of Ivermectin on Time to Resolution of Symptoms Among Adults With Mild COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical TrialRCT low risk patients, 200 ivermectin and 198 control, showing lower mortality, lower disease progression, lower treatment escalation, and faster resolution of symptoms with treatment, without reaching statistical significance.
With the low risk patient population, there is little room for improvement with an effective treatment… Less than 3% of all patients ever deteriorated.
The primary outcome was changed mid-trial, it was originally clinical deterioration, which is more meaningful, and shows greater benefit. The new outcome of resolution of symptoms includes “not hospitalized and no limitation of activities” as a negative outcome and is not very meaningful in terms of assessing how much treatment reduces serious outcomes. Using this measure could completely invalidate results – for example a treatment that eliminates all COVID-19 symptoms but has a temporary minor adverse event could be seen as worse.
Authors state that “preliminary reports of other randomized trials of ivermectin as treatment for COVID-19 with positive results have not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals”, however there was actually 8 peer-reviewed RCTs with positive effects published prior to this paper (and 19 total peer-reviewed studies with positive effects).
Authors advised taking ivermectin on an empty stomach, reducing lung tissue concentration by ~2.5x.
76 patients were excluded due to control patients receiving ivermectin. However, there was a similar percentage of adverse events like diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain in both treatment and control groups. These are potential non-serious side effects of treatment and suggest that it is possible that many more control patients received some kind of treatment.
The study protocol specifically allows “the use of other treatments outside of clinical trials”. The paper provides no information on what other treatments were used, but other treatments were commonly used at the time, for example [2]. Additionally, the control group did about 5x better than anticipated for deterioration, also suggesting that the control patients used some kind of treatment. Patients which enroll in such a study may be more likely to learn about and use other treatments, especially since they do not know if they are receiving the study medication.
Most data was collected via surveys, without physical examination.
Grants and/or personal fees, including in some cases during the conduct of the study, were provided by Sanofi Pasteur, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, Merck, and Gilead.
87% medication adherence.
Listening to a new word cloud: “People Velocity”. Now that’s related to monetary velocity, which as we’ve noticed allows you to print $1T/mo for a couple years and not spark hyperinflation…and therefore the end of the juicy, juicy power structure.
“People Velocity” was used in relation to Covid, where the economy stall has monetary effects, which is what Powell is complaining about right now: any release will cause “transient” inflation. “Transient?”, really? Ohhhhhhhhh, maybe really. Why are they heck for leather to get an irrational, unscientific, unnecessary vaccine passport? And who are these “Technocrats” anyway?
“Guardian Promotes “Global Lockdown” Every Two Years To Combat Climate Change”
Yup. So…new plan. Keep printing money and handing to my friends. But NOW, if it starts inflation with the masses, we have a disease, an ecology…whatever, I could really care less what it is, that’s what I pay Facebook and Madison Avenue for… then we LOCK DOWN, stop “People Velocity” and thereby stop “Monetary Velocity”. Inflation. Or inflation that imperils my private jet to St. James. That’s why it has to go on forever.
Technocrats said they would do this in 1930 in their magazine. The million-man subscription that like Eugenics, was all the rage with Universities, CEOs, you know: the smart set. However, the Soviet experiment set up proved they could NOT match production to consumption with central planning. And both killed 300M people AND collapsed in ignominy. Naturally the last part is the only bad part. Embarrassment.
But now they have computers!!! And THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT. Our alien ant farm techno-Utopia will work at last. We have exact accounting of production, of shipping, and demand, via Amazon, or purchases, of banking, of electricity use, a tricky one, and a currency that makes it all possible, one that YOU CAN’T SAVE. All money, digital, now goes to zero every payday, every two weeks. It’s called “inflation.” So also no naughty revolutions, you won’t have the stuff, ha ha. Not a day’s food, not a minute’s power. Perfect harmony: supply, demand matched minute by minute. Man finally put in bounds. Ecological paradise.
So here’s the thing: Lockdowns are “People Velocity.” Too much velocity, screwing up Utopia, we call a lockdown on it, on you, on money, on humanity. Any time we want.
If the Powers That Be try what Dr. D describes above, it will only take one decent case of the internet catching the flu for them to lose all of their power and most of their wealth. This is not looming Orwellian sociocultural colossi, this is collapse. Storm troopers will be lucky to keep their stomping boots from people ki8lling them for decent footwear.
I think the main reason Cuomo is on the hot seat right now, is because the Obama democrats want to eliminate any potential future challengers. Cuomo has been banging women forever so why all of a sudden does it suddenly matter now? Newsom might be another democrat they target next. It will be interesting to watch and see if this happens.
I have visited the town of White River, Ontario, on the north shores of Lake Superior, where the real Winnie-the-Poo black bear came from. The orphan bear cub was adopted by a Canadian soldier shipping out to England during WW1. The bear became the soldier’s mascot and when later shipped to France, the bear had to be left behind finding a new home in the London zoo. Too bad the real Winnie-the-Poo bear couldn’t come back and “cancel” the woke crowd!
So 5,700 children with no parents, crossed the order in January. At $60,000 per child, US taxpayers will be forking out $342 million for the next year to put them into church orphanages until they are 18. I told you children are big business! After spending less than $7,000 per child, churches will have $53,000 to share with congress!
I love how the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church have suddenly found a phrase written centuries ago that supports communism! Yup, first we divide everything in the world up equally! Second we then discover there is now nothing more to divide equally going forward, because the people who produced the previous stuff decide to stop working! This religious experiment was tried the first year the Pilgrims arrived in America! Remember how their communist experiment turned out? I think most of them died of starvation because most of the Pilgrims decided it was too much hard work to grow food and so left it to others to do the work! In the second year, they let people keep what they produced! Then nobody starved and we got Thankgiving!
