    I put up a quick post of the Greenwald Biden story, which I knew would be here, before I bike to work this morning.
    The other big thing is the brave Siberian virologist we read about yesterday.
    Vaccines won’t wor unless you get a new one every 6 months.
    Take vitamin-D.

    Line-out a way to get a rapid test on short notice for loss of smell and raw throat.

    Rapid tests should be available everywhere and for everyone by now, but they’re not. And no suggestion of everyone taking vit. D either. Why listen to the science when the science fails?

    I don’t 100% get the Greenwald story. The Intercept has largely been a shitpile for a long time, other than his contributions. Their handing over Reality Winner files to the NSA should have been enough/too much. And no, that was not his story or his doing. But it feels too much like all the chumps at the Guardian claiming they didn’t write Luke Harding’s lying pieces, so they’re clean. No, you’re not. It’s where you work. Good that Greenwald and Taibbi take a stand, but that doesn’t make it the right stand at the right time and place.

    There is part of me that agrees with USA Today columnist Christian Schneider that it may well be too late to get a handle on the pandemic in the USA. But there is another part of me that also hopes he’s wrong.

    The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.
    Joe Biden’s younger brother, James, has been an integral part of the family political machine from the earliest days when he served as finance chair of Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign, and the two have remained quite close. After Joe joined the US Senate, he would bring his brother James along on congressional delegation trips to places like Ireland, Rome and Africa.
    When Joe became vice president, James was a welcomed guest at the White House, securing invitations to such important functions as a state dinner in 2011 and the visit of Pope Francis in 2015. Sometimes, James’ White House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.
    James Biden remained with Hill International, which accumulated contracts from the federal government for dozens of projects, including projects in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mozambique and elsewhere.

    In James and Hunter’s five-year tenure, Paradigm became associated with a number of alleged and confirmed frauds, including Allen Stanford’s multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, while seeking to draw on their powerful relative’s political allies for financing.

    The pattern of dubious associations and possible conflicts of interest would continue later with Hunter’s foreign dealings, which led him to a lucrative appointment to the board of a Ukrainian oil company and to deals with firms connected to the Chinese state. But it started far earlier.

    “To date, Republicans have turned out 59 percent of their voters in Miami-Dade and Democrats have turned out 53 percent, a 6-point margin. That’s twice the margin Republicans had at this point in 2016..“

    That “6-point margin” is misleading when you consider that the number of Democrats in Miami-Dade is 50% higher than the number of Republicans.

    If you look at the number of votes already cast by Democrats and Republicans in Miami-Dade, the Democrat number is 35% higher than the Republicans.

    Republicans–
    59% of 418,661 voters is 247,010 who already voted.

    Democrats —
    53% of 628,412 voters is 333,058 who already voted.

    A little more attention to the Assange case, from an article published today:

    Peter Oborne, writing last month, issued the call to fellow journalists to take up the case for WikiLeaks. He starts with a scenario: imagine a political dissident held at London’s Belmarsh Prison charged with espionage offences by the People’s Republic of China. The real offence? Exposing atrocities by Chinese troops. “To put it another way, that his real offence was committing the crime of journalism.”

    Add to this the findings of the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture that the dissident in question showed “all the symptoms typical for prolonged exposure to psychological torture”, with Beijing pressuring UK authorities to extradite him to a place he could face 175 years in prison. “The outrage from the British press would be deafening.” Protests and vigils outside Belmarsh would be unhalting; debates would take place on “prime time news programmes, alongside a rush of questions in parliament.”

    Oborne acknowledges the UK-US alliance. But that should not matter one jot “as far as the British media is concerned.”

    “A Long Slog” – NYC Recovery Lags Rest of Country as Downturn Could Last Years”

    So mysterious. Can’t figure it out. With modest cases NYC has still voluntarily – and illegally – shut down all churches, all temples, all businesses, all contact? Now why has that affected their overall economy and sales tax and doubled youth suicide? Maybe we’ll never know.

    “NY COVID-19 Hospitalizations Top 1,000”

    In a state of 20 million? That’s 0.005%. Who are over 80yo. With 94% comorbidities.

    If you’re as bad at math as everyone else, “suicide” is a very, very large number, as is drug abuse, alcohol health problems, and domestic violence. Doubling any of these numbers would swamp fears COVID in an instant. It doesn’t. Because no one knows math. Math is racist. As is all knowledge and hard work. I’m just quoting Robin DiAngelo here.

    In other news, “Chicagoans Categorically Reject Progressive/BLM Demands to Defund The Police”

    Yes that means black and minority people ALSO want police and often MORE of them, not less. Unlike AWFL white liberal reporters from Westchester, graduates of Vanderbilt and Yale, they can do math.

    Speaking of idiot sons of idiot sons who could never accomplish anything if not for corruption and nepotism and would go straight to the bottom in a world of open competition, there once was a man named “Hunter”. If you didn’t already remember a man named “George.” See why they hate capitalism and would do anything to stop it?

    “The Intercept Responds to Greenwald Resignation, Says He’s ‘Throwing Tantrum’”

    That’s the best you have? Wow, snappy. “No we didn’t, you’re a poopy-pants.” Well, I’m convinced!

    …So where is the part about how you openly and intentionally breached contract, twice, and being informed didn’t care but continue with breech of contract in favor of censorship? Any comment? And I agree about letting the Intercept get run over from the get-go. It was a trap. However, if there was any time to play Streisand good and hard, this is it.

    “no one by that name lives in Switzerland,”

    Huh? Is that even possible? Are there only a million ppl there? Also if this was so prominent and (implied) it generated the Post Article, why have I never heard of it? Am I not far enough right? Do I read too little?

    Okay: alternate view: since “Politico” wrote about this years ago, AND supposing it were true, and everybody knew about it. (I mean, didn’t we? Long before 2015 Ukraine? Where did Joe’s 3 mansions and private islands come from?) then these guys only knew what EVERYBODY ALWAYS KNEW: D.C. is totally corrupt. Shocking, I know! but try to adjust.

    “Graham said the only way the email could have been faked is if someone hacked into Google’s servers, found the private key and used it to reverse engineer the email’s DKIM signature.”

    He is mostly right, as I brought up before. That’s why, although it’s totally not true and we know that because we’re not asking or investigating, Joe hasn’t denied it. Why should he? That’s what we pay NBC, CNN, NPR, for. …Well they don’t own papers for the profits, honey, ’cause there ain’t none. They get PAID by what they print and refuse to print.

    “The right says the “deep state” is holding on to a secret vaccine”

    Use a “telephone”: no they don’t: they think it’s only marginally more dangerous than the flu because that’s what the CDC numbers tell us. So the reason it will be over is because the Left won’t need it afterwards. If Trump loses, they WILL do the vaccine, but will also do MORE pandemics, one a year if they can, and kill everyone while the world is under house arrest. Like China. Dissidents just happen to get it and happen to disappear. So it WON’T end. That’s my understanding of what the Right thinks, because I bothered to read them. Apparently only NON reporters have this curiosity anymore. And the Right thinks that THIS one will be over — because CDC numbers say it has been since July — but that the nefarious “They” will release a bunch much worse ones to undermine Trump if he remains. True? Not the point.

    “COVID-19 is a cultural problem, not a governmental one.”

    Also wrong: the “Culture” will not imprison people if they do – or don’t – wear masks or quarantine. We won’t stop you if that’s your choice. Only the GOVERNMENT has this power to make this a PROBLEM: Universal Austerity and Universal Prison House Arrest. On the poor. The rich still do what they want: look at the stars freaking out from quarantine while on a 50-acre palatial estate and 6,000ft house. The GOVERNMENT does it. Only, exclusively and mustly. Making things far worse and cost more is what governments DO. And P.S. that’s Trump’s government, yet they love it. Aside from bombing brown people overseas, it’s the only thing he does right.

    “Well, I guess lockdown is over.” That is where Trump’s mismanagement has cost America.”

    Trump didn’t say this, nor did he do it. It is within the jurisdiction of the governors, who said many things. Trump just didn’t trample his boundaries, That’s so unheard-of to follow the law, they can’t adjust.

    In the early days of the virus, Trump said all the wrong things, telling Americans it was just “one person”

    Which is also totally false, as he did only and everything Fauci of the CDC said, shut down travel months before WHO, overrode Biden, and permitted the governors although he disagreed with them. If it was “one person” why did he shut the borders? So he said the wrong things? He said Fauci’s things, and Fauci has publicly said so.

    Say we were to give Trump some benefit of the doubt”

    You don’t have to, there were every possible combination of responses worldwide. None of them seemed to matter except maybe Japan.

    “a sizable portion of America is carrying on, waiting for a vaccine”

    The Right is not waiting for a vaccine. They refuse it. The Left will ALSO refuse it now, like Anti-Vaxxer Cuomo has said, because it comes from Trump and the FDA. Gates has said he’ll ALSO refuse it, since it won’t work. …You know, the vaccine we don’t have. I mean the OTHER, 2nd vaccine we don’t have, as we don’t have the 1st one either. Yet they know! They’re like the ‘Rona: They know!!!

    But we can’t stop until we have a vaccine we don’t have, that won’t work, and neither side will take. Gotcha.

    Well if you had any doubts reporters talk to no one, read nothing, and do not yet know “Google”, here’s your proof.

    Not sure why they – and all of us – all were galvanized, mobilized, by the Greenwald story. That is odd since there have been many, and we already knew each and every piece of info. Just one of those things, those moments, those turns, like the Pentagon Papers, I guess. We all felt it though.

    “UPS Suddenly Locates “Lost” Biden Evidence”

    Let me get this straight: an insured, registered package went missing but no one knows what signature it disappeared under. And then they found the empty box. Later, only after it became national news, they found the contents some distance from the box. Am I getting this right?

    “[The USSR] was itself one of the prime aggressors of the era.”

    Yes! I can tell that by the way they had no tanks, no jeeps, no planes and no guns. No ammunition, no fortified lines, no factories, no hardening of St. Petersburg, and by how they did not go into Poland, Czechoslovakia, or Germany. I mean, isn’t it obvious? And it’s TOTALLY not the West funding, giving oil, IBM computers, trucks (Ford won a medal) Chamberlain appeasing, all the West standing by until it was far too late because they thought and arranged for Germany to fight RUSSIA, because under MacKinder, for England to survive, Asia must be made to fight Asia. No! That’s totally silly. It’s Russia. Who nearly lost. Because they had no military. THEY started the war.

    Pretty tricky those Russians, starting a war they almost lost that kills 20 million without an Army, just so they could get those Krauts. Who then prospered and became their enemy in the 60s. It’s the “Novachok” plan: attack openly with something that can kill no one.

    “US GDP Booms At 33.1% Rate In Q3 (CNBC)”

    The things people will believe. 1 It’s all a lie and had been since Carter. 2, Trump did nothing, the governors opened up. 3 Trump is the one who “let” it get voluntarily wrecked in the first place.

    “Governments hold power in Britain on the sufferance of the elected chamber”

    They only get what you let them. The Bill of Rights means nothing either without us giving them h—l. We’re no different. The Rights come from God, our Creator, NOT NOT NOT the government. The government is who STOPS all Rights. The Document constrains the GOVERNMENT, who won’t, so we keep our guns handy to scare them straight.

    The police had repeatedly exceeded their powers,” As always.

    “fear was deliberately stoked up by the government”. As always.

    Careful what you wish for. The Sumatran tidal wave in 2004 killed over 170,000 peeps. Considering the precautionary principle perhaps all those blue coastal counties should consider moving to higher ground? Especially since the boundary plate dynamics of say…Cascadia will prob never stop. And that’s just one. Not even a black swan.

    Natality……mortality. Collapse your personal wave function on which ever one suits your fancy, I’ll take the first.
