…And half the country has reason to believe this is NOT the worst candidate.
Speaking of Magritte: “This is not a mask”

Terrible speaker as always, my take was “stand by”, because after 4 years of taking punches, the President’s circle was about to counterattack for a change. …Thus no need for the street people to get involved, possibly ever. This is also what the prospective Q says, who is almost certainly the Trump military intel propaganda wing. To waylay exactly these people and keep them stupid so they don’t start a civil war that could be forestalled. Next thing that happens after said quote? Hunter laptop. Discrediting Wray. Demanding special counsel. Attacking Dorsey, etc, with good cause to cancel or re-write Sec230. So, was my interpretation correct, or Escobar’s? We can’t fully tell but mine is definitely gathering some legs. Because “Orange Man Bad” all things that are said, however vague, must be interpreted in the most violent, inhuman, and conspiratorial way. Saying a guy who escalated violence, removed treaties, armed enemies, cut off pipelines, attacked allies, and continued sanctions is a “Putin puppet”, and has been since 1987, WHEN THERE WAS A SOVIET UNION, well, that’s just common sense. We always attack ourselves, you see, and aid our enemies. Tricky tricky.
Will there be violence? Sure. But right now the Right is just sitting by patiently taking it. When they don’t, their own side censures them immediately, like the tire-rub in Texas when Chee-tos surrounded Biden’s bus and escorted them out of the state. No you can’t do that. We expect charges. And charges against such events are constantly placed and enforced when they happen. When it’s NOT “my side right or wrong,” but “a nation of laws, not men” – is that the good side or the bad side?
January Fauci: Aha! See how Trump flip-flops? He’s a bad orange man. Why doesn’t he follow the doctors and the science? Ah, we’ve got facts for all. We print all the facts, and all the opposites, and you can a la carte pick and choose. That’s journalism! That’s what happens when you’re #AntiLogos, and do not believe there even IS an objective truth to find. But what’s YOUR truth, little Ashley? What’s YOUR lived experience? That 2+2=5? Welcome to Fauci’s world.
“Study: 20% Of Grocery Store Workers Had COVID19, Most Asymptomatic (CNN)”
Everybody’s going to get it, everybody’s had it. Hospitalizations suggest herd immunity since July. But we’ve got some folks to kill and we’re in a hurry. Can’t stop now.
“We see why government scientists want a five-week lockdown: they’re up to their eyes in grim Covid predictions.”
…Aaaaaaaand shows nobody learns nothin’. They’re incapable of learning. NewsFact: we’re 25 MILLION SHORT of your LAST terrible, totally wrong prediction. And your last terrible, totally false advice: 15 days. And that was only 6 months ago. What did I say yesterday? IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY LEVEL OF WRONG OR CORRUPTION TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES. Because WE won’t stop obeying and discredit, de-fund, dismiss, and indict some folks. Why won’t you start not believing known criminals? Couldn’t be worse than what do now.
“This is Spain’s third extension to the state of emergency during the pandemic and will be in force until May 9..”
It will be in force a LEAST until the EU currency reset, and probably forever if history of governments is any guide. How long was Franco in? 50 years? So it will be in place until YOU stop cowering and stop it.
“Europe Increasingly Toughens COVID19 Restrictions Amid Fierce Protests (RT)”
What a coincidence: whenever they have dissidents and protests, suddenly they need to “lock down”? Do tell. I’m sure the “science” from the exact same governments and institutions is totally honest.
In honor of the explosion of tested cases in Europe:
“PCR Tests are Scientifically Meaningless”
“How declaring virus pandemics based on PCR tests can end in disaster was described by Gina Kolata in her 2007 New York Times article Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/health/22whoop.html
“Jessica C. Watson from Bristol University confirms this. In her paper “Interpreting a COVID-19 test result”, published recently in The British Medical Journal, she writes that there is a “lack of such a clear-cut ‘gold-standard’ for COVID-19 testing.”
But instead of classifying the tests as unsuitable for SARS-CoV-2 detection and COVID-19 diagnosis, or instead of pointing out that only a virus, proven through isolation and purification, can be a solid gold standard, Watson claims in all seriousness that, “pragmatically” COVID-19 diagnosis itself, remarkably including PCR testing itself, “may be the best available ‘gold standard’.” But this is not scientifically sound.
Apart from the fact that it is downright absurd to take the PCR test itself as part of the gold standard to evaluate the PCR test, there are no distinctive specific symptoms for COVID-19…”
Sounds like a tautology.
Leading to:“it is hardly surprising that there are several papers illustrating irrational test results.
For example, already in February the health authority in China’s Guangdong province reported that people have fully recovered from illness blamed on COVID-19, started to test “negative,” and then tested “positive” again.”“tests were carried out almost daily on 18 patients and the majority went from “positive” to “negative” back to “positive” at least once, and up to five times in one patient.”
the Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory sent a letter to the WHO’s coronavirus response team and to Anthony S. Fauci on March 22, 2020, saying that:
It has been widely reported in the social media that the RT-qPCR [Reverse Transcriptase quantitative PCR] test kits used to detect SARSCoV-2 RNA in human specimens are generating many false positive results and are not sensitive enough to detect some real positive cases.”
In other words, even if we theoretically assume that these PCR tests can really detect a viral infection, the tests would be practically worthless, and would only cause an unfounded scare among the “positive” people tested.Are they aware? Probably:
“Remarkably, in the instruction manuals of PCR tests we can also read that they are not intended as a diagnostic test, as for instance in those by Altona Diagnostics and Creative Diagnostics[5].
To quote another one, in the product announcement of the LightMix Modular Assays produced by TIB Molbiol — which were developed using the Corman et al. protocol — and distributed by Roche we can read:
These assays are not intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of coronavirus infection”
And:
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.”“Furthermore, the “Drosten PCR test” uses the unspecific E-gene assay as preliminary assay, while the Institut Pasteur uses the same assay as confirmatory assay.
According to Corman et al., the E-gene assay is likely to detect all Asian viruses, while the other assays in both tests are supposed to be more specific for sequences labelled “SARS-CoV-2”.
Besides the questionable purpose of having either a preliminary or a confirmatory test that is likely to detect all Asian viruses, at the beginning of April the WHO changed the algorithm, recommending that from then on a test can be regarded as “positive” even if just the E-gene assay (which is likely to detect all Asian viruses!) gives a “positive” result.This means that a confirmed unspecific test result is officially sold as specific.
That change of algorithm increased the “case” numbers. Tests using the E-gene assay are produced for example by Roche, TIB Molbiol and R-Biopharm. “
“Another essential problem is that many PCR tests have a “cycle quantification” (Cq) value of over 35, and some, including the “Drosten PCR test”, even have a Cq of 45.
“…If the Cq value gets too high, it becomes difficult to distinguish real signal from background,”
The Cq value specifies how many cycles of DNA replication are required to detect a real signal from biological samples….The inventor himself, Kary Mullis, agreed, when he stated:If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR.”
So the test does nothing except produce the false positives the UK Pharma Doctor already reported last month, AND you can either give more tests (for more profit) or tune the test higher to get positives any time, any place, and people you need a lockdown for? I’m sure that’s all just one big honest mistake, and the 40 different ways test-doctors admitted in the article they didn’t do any real science, they have no procedures or internal controls, nobody is objecting and challenging them, I’m sure that’s all just an accident and nobody in the Whooooooooooole scientific and medical community ever noticed this before. Just this one reporter, just now, first time.
They are corrupt.
They are not Science.
They are not Doctors.
They are committing open malpractice worldwide, killing 20,000 nursing home patients on-camera, then getting accolades from Science at the WHO and CDC.
Goldfish. Squirrel. What was I saying? January Fauci forgot what July Fauci was saying about #Logos, that is, objective reality.
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities”
Stop studying their abuse of you, killing everyone, ending human rights, and open your mouth, tell the truth, and object.
November 1, 2020 at 1:12 pm #65059sumac.carolParticipantDoes anyone want to wade in on the deaths per capita chart from yesterday, the one showing that Sweden had about double the death rate of the EU until August, at which time the EU went into an exponential rise, exceeding even the US, while now Sweden’s rate is about one fifth that of the US and EU? Sweden is also a northern country, not benefiting from vitamin D provided by sun exposure, yet somehow by the end of October their rate is very low. Numbers like these beg for explanation, especially since the policy response was so different in Sweden. Here’s a theory, based on the analysis made by my health guru Jon Barron at the outset of the pandemic: if people restrict exposure to pathogens, their immune systems will become weaker, like a muscle that has not been exercised. This is the downside of lockdowns. I understand that Swedes voluntarily reduced some activities, but the stark differences in the data between the EU and Sweden seem to suggest that the unique policy response (much less restrictive lockdown) played a role.
November 1, 2020 at 1:30 pm #65060sumac.carolParticipantDr. D that info on testing is astounding. The testing testing testing strategy looks like it goes out the window – essentially it appears that we have no valid tests for covid. Therefore, we are navigating this disease based on garbage data. This of course will impact validity of covid death counts (which also felt on tests). My comment above on covid rates comparison between Sweden, the EU and the US kind of goes out the window too – who knows what those numbers mean?
In my neck of the woods you could get whiplash following the instructions to the public on testing. Initially, the public was told to go get tested, and we were admonished for not being tested. Next we learned that there was a backlog in the processing of tens of thousands of tests, resulting in some tests being sent to California to be analyzed. I have been deemed an essential visitor to my mother who lives in a retirement home and I am not high enough on the priority list to get tested at this point, because testing capacity is so limited. I used to feel guilty about not being tested. Not anymore.November 1, 2020 at 1:50 pm #65061zerosumParticipantthe perfect target for blackmailing operations.

Great find. Testing the testing!!!!
Now, can we find the truth.
The only data that appears to make sense, to me, ….. are seniors + care workers + flue shots + deathNovember 1, 2020 at 1:53 pm #65062Raúl Ilargi MeijerKeymaster..it appears that we have no valid tests for covid..
I think we do, but PCR is not it. There are easily 5 different types of rapid tests out there that I’ve read about -saliva, nose swaps etc.-, but the medical community insists they must first test the tests, and then that they -doctors, nurses- do the testing. Which will make delays a feature, not a flaw. While everyone could just test themselves, every day, every week, whatever,
PCR is flawed because it is too sensitive for this kind of situation, which leads to too many false positives. And we”re talking, off the top of my head, 93% vs 87% accuracy. That’s what’s holding all this up. All these people saying: but 93 is much better than 87, without looking at any other factors, like price, ease of use etc. Blind. Qui bono?
November 1, 2020 at 2:05 pm #65063zerosumParticipantGone are the days when Americans could easily understand the virus by tracking rising case numbers back to discrete sources — the crowded factory, the troubled nursing home, the rowdy bar. Now, there are so many cases, in so many places, that many people are coming to a frightening conclusion: They have no idea where the virus is spreading.
November 1, 2020 at 2:48 pm #65064genericParticipantIndividuals like Hunter Biden, with high placed relatives or friends, are often referred to a “princelings.” (Peter Schweitzer, “Secret Empires”) Corporations, countries, or wealthy persons may give these princelings money as a means of influencing those high placed friends. This is legal.
What is illegal is for those prominent individuals, like Joe Biden, to be influenced by the money to provide US government favors to the payer. That sounds simple enough, but it turns out to be very difficult to prove such influence, and the burden of proof must clear a very high bar.
An objective voter might very reasonably guess that Joe Biden has been aiding Hunter to sell influence in a way that is illegal. Proof of that has been very hard to obtain. The Republican Senate has been looking at this for a while without finding proof of illegal activity:
Perhaps new evidence will eventually provide that proof. What we are waiting for is a document signed by Joe saying that for X dollars, he will provide, quid pro quo, some valuable US government service. Even that may not be enough to pass muster in the courts. Selling access or influence is a big part of what goes on in Washington.
The Kushner Companies are equivalent to another princeling. If Qatar wants to loan the Kushner companies $1 billion as a way of influencing Donald Trump, that is legal so long as Trump is not influenced to give something to Qatar. An objective voter might reasonably guess that Trump has been manipulating US foreign policy to encourage Qatar to provide that loan to the Kushner Companies. That is difficult to prove.
Donald Trump, Jr is another princeling. If he is managing the Trump organization without direction from Donald Sr, then he can receive all kinds of payments (emoluments?) from companies or countries without running afoul of the law. An objective voter might reasonably guess that Donald Sr is both directing the organization and being influenced by the sources of revenue coming into the companies. Proving that is another matter.
Zephyr Teachout, in her book “Corruption in America,” discusses how bribery has been a continuing stumbling block since the earliest days of nation. Bribery is now institutionalized. Bribes, once laundered through K Street, are legal. In fact, much of the corruption in Washington, if not most, is entirely legal.
Trump seems to have set a record in expanding “the swamp” by appointing industry lobbyists, corporate executives, Wall Street operators, and rich friends to important government positions. I consider that massively corrupt. But Trump, as president, is allowed to appoint anyone the Senate doesn’t block.
Biden is proud of changes he brought to the bankruptcy law that now allows credit card companies to engage in predatory lending to people with low credit scores, and which turns many of those people into debt slaves. I consider that to be seriously corrupt and an injury to the nation. But this was legally passed into law by the Congress.
Sarah Chayes, in her book “On Corruption in America and What Is at Stake,” starts out with a story of a Virginia Governor convicted of receiving bribes from a businessman to use state agencies for the benefit of the businessman. This case went to the US Supreme Court which unanimously overturned the conviction in McDonnell vs United States. The US Supreme Court has rendered itself nearly blind to the corruption of elected officials. Chief Justice John Roberts prefers to avoid the word “corrupt” and uses the word “distasteful” instead. The Supreme Court believes that elected officials must be given the widest possible latitude in providing constituent services and negotiating with businesses and nations.
Some experts claim that the only way one of these politicians can now be convicted of corruption is if they are very very incompetent at corruption. If you remember the Abscam investigation, that may be the only way to get at the corruption in Washington, but Congress told the FBI not to ever do that again. I would find it humorous if Joe Biden, after decades of practicing corruption according to the rules, were to not know how to do it properly enough to avoid illegality.
I’m not a lawyer or an expert in these matters. But Glenn Greenwald is a lawyer and has years of experience as a journalist. He should be able to clearly lay out the law as well as how Joe Biden has violated the law and the expected consequences so that the rest of us can understand. Instead, he wrote a lazy article filled with the same innuendos we have already seen, and then he asks Biden to respond.
As I recall, Lyndon Johnson once told his campaign manager that he wanted to spread a story that his opponent has sex with sheep. His campaign manager said that he doubted the story was true. Johnson replied, “Aw hell, I know that. I just want him to deny it.”
That’s the level to which Greenwald has sunk. If Joe Biden has committed illegal and prosecutable acts, the evidence is out there. It’s Greenwald’s job to go find the evidence and deliver it. Other big news organizations have looked for it and so far have come up empty. That’s why they say that there is no story there. Joe Biden responds to inquiries by saying, “Buzz off,” which is what he should say in polite company. The problem with celebrity journalists like Greenwald is that they so often learn to love their celebrity so much that they lose the capacity for introspection.
If Trump is reelected, a big part of his ability to play catch-up will likely be due to his claim that Joe Biden is the head of a crime family. This has to be taken seriously because Trump, as a sitting president, has access to information from the Secret Service, State Department, CIA, Justice Department, FBI, and other federal agencies while the Congress and the people are in the dark. The crime family statement could be interpreted as an official judgment of the US Government. Trump would have an obligation to the nation to convict and imprison Joe Biden for his illegal acts as the head of a crime family. If Trump were unable to get Biden hauled off to prison, Trump would be sitting in the Oval Office as a result of electoral fraud.

I interpret what you said as,
“Rule of law should not be bent or fashioned to allow the elites to be able to getting off “scott free” “November 1, 2020 at 3:53 pm #65066Maxwell QuestParticipantNovember 1, 2020 at 4:41 pm #65067anticlimacticParticipantWill Lockdowns cause a Systemic Banking Failure?
It looks like next week most of Western Europe will be under lockdowns. It almost seems coordinated!
Although these lockdowns are treated as if they have no consequences there is some potentially drastic fallout. One recent article suggested the strong possibility of a systemic banking failure for Europe, and possibly beyond. As businesses go broke non-performing loans accumulate and they may reach a tipping point and banks begin to fail, causing others to fail in a chain reaction.
Some years ago it was established that any money you put in a bank becomes the property of the bank, and will be used to pay off any debts if the bank fails.
Also, because derivatives involve collateral they are regarded as senior debt. Debts related to derivatives have to be paid before the customers. The last estimate I have seen is that there is 1.5 quadrillion dollars worth of derivatives, many times the annual global GDP!
Another area of concern is re-hypothecation related to mortgages. If you have, say, a mortgage at 4.5% the lender may wrap up many mortgages and borrow the money say at 3.5%. your house will be used as collateral. This second company may also group even more mortgages and borrow the money at a lower rate, a and so on. You can end up with a daisy chain. The question is if the primary lender goes bust who owns the houses?

November 1, 2020 at 8:05 pm #65070thomasjkenneyParticipant@anticlimactic re: mortgage bundling
This was found to be illegal, as it breaks the chain of custody on the mortgage. This allows the debtor to challenge the validity of the contract. If your mortgage was thusly bundled, and you now find yourself staring into the ‘foreclosure barrel’ you might do well to squat and challenge.
November 1, 2020 at 9:15 pm #65071thomasjkenneyParticipantOh, that Tessa just cracked my egg! Got some ruminating to do.
As a hint of what was stirred…
Galactic Center – Gregory Benford. Biological life in the cosmos usually ends itself by inventing AI and machines that rebel, exterminate.
There’s a lot to this, and it’s closely tied to the digital currency ‘event horizon’ problem. To seriously do bitcoin right, you need ever more processing power for each transaction. After a (short) while, there’s not enough energy on the planet to get rich anymore. In space, near a star, you have unlimited solar power. Put the bitcoin farms in space! Combine this greed with a pathological need to kill more efficiently, and you get violations of Asmiov’s 3 Laws (!!!), and we’re off to the races.
Now, for the cyborg angle, The Eyes Of Heisenberg – Frank Herbert. OptiMen run the show, peasants die en masse at a whim, cyborgs battle them from the shadows. Are we at that juncture where the ‘transhumanists’ are trying to break away? Should we let them? Are we already in an existential struggle with eachother?
Now, before I go off to ride my bike and digest some stuff, here’s Kurt Vonnegut Jr on The Future of The United States. I have not watched this one yet myself, but I’ve seen several of his other interviews, and read a fair number of his books.
This whole schmeer is beginning to feel bigger than WWII.
Oh, that Tessa!!!! (stomps away muttering to self)
November 1, 2020 at 9:31 pm #65072Doc RobinsonParticipantDr. D: “This is also what the prospective Q says, who is almost certainly the Trump military intel propaganda wing.”
The latest Honest Government Ad is about Q, and how QAnon is a PsyOp.
“What’s that? When do we take down the Deep State? Oh, honey, the guy who exposed the real Deep State is being tortured by it right now. And where are you? Oh, that’s right. Q told you to trust the plan.”

November 1, 2020 at 10:24 pm #65073Dr. DParticipantI believe there are good tests, and some countries are using them. That leads the question: THEIR doctors are competent at distinguishing a good, actionable test vs a false, late one, but we are not. This is one of the big differences in nations I think, along with HCQ, size, and cooperation of the public gestalt.
But like all experts, they know this but won’t say anything to rock the boat. That is: intellectuals are self-serving cowards. They mostly leave it to the Americans to shout and then take it in the teeth. Probably our Irish heritage. It leaves the same questions of against WHAT do you calibrate the test against, but I think we — as in “any idiot” — can see the stats pouring off THIS test is essentially random bulls–t expressed randomly across the prairie.
There is a virus but you won’t identify and fix it this way, and I believe they know it. Because if a dummy outsider like me can know it without even calling German pharma on the phone, then doctors and researchers know it. And therefore should have their licenses pulled, because their failure-to-act is allowing both halves of this nonsense to continue. But they think they’re special and won’t get the boot when Stalin takes over, but Kodratieff and Solzhenitsyn say they’re wrong.
My take is that Kushner is the payoff for Addelson and the lobby. Since it is 100% pro-Israel, all side like it more than life and will do anything at all against T except mention it. T has other problems right now and needs at least one major power bloc off his back. I think he’s doing what you do to all unassailable powers: feed them rope to hang themselves, but that time, and the time of double-crossing them is not yet. So if we get some peace deals out of it for a while I understand the trade. Kusher is an idiot son, and so he lets him go over there and be scooped up and led around like a toddler and kept out of trouble, since being the children of Orange Hitler of course they are super-kabbalah-Jewish, and give Jared the mushroom treatment as to the real Trump play. I don’t like it but you’re not allowed to criticize God’s chosen people, even when they sink your ships and fit you into wars for 50 years while selling your tech to NoKo and Pakistan. To report facts and dislike bribery, corruption, and illegal murder from a outside-funded double-crossing apartheid state is racist, and their directed personal violence makes BLM look like creampuffs.
I was being more generous in characterizing Q, as they have been constantly pushing the envelope of truth forward. Epstein, Hunter, others. As well as attempting to indicate the public how the are approaching the corruption problem without blowing their plans. But you can’t trust someone with an agenda who’s been leading you down the garden path for 3 years. Stand and deliver.
