    Just when we think the narrative is crumbling, the noose gets tighter.

    “Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere,” the editorial board writes.”

    And barbaric is now the new “civilized.” Felationista is checking the want ads for the Nat Guard, I’m sure.

    If the idea is being floated in the media, you know it’s being considered and will later be pushed as “needed”. The left “moral” majority looking more and more everyday like the murderous minority.

    They call you Nazis, but I call you my base. -Joe Biden

    From the link above:

    “President Biden’s strongest supporters are most likely to endorse the harshest punishments against those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine. Among voters who have a Very Favorable impression of Biden, 51% are in favor of government putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities,” and 54% favor imposing fines or prison sentences on vaccine critics. By contrast, among voters who have a Very Unfavorable view of Biden, 95% are against “designated facilities” for the unvaccinated and 93% are against criminal punishment for vaccine critics.”

    “Pretty bummed at the FASCIST country and world I inhabit today.”

    But wait, there’s more!!!

    “– Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine. However, 55% of Democratic voters would support such a proposal, compared to just 19% of Republicans and 25% of unaffiliated voters.

    Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a proposal is opposed by 61% of all likely voters, including 79% of Republicans and 71% of unaffiliated voters.

    Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. Only 27% of all voters – including just 14% of Republicans and 18% of unaffiliated voters – favor criminal punishment of vaccine critics.

    Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a policy would be opposed by a strong majority (71%) of all voters, with 78% of Republicans and 64% of unaffiliated voters saying they would Strongly Oppose putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities.”

    – While about two-thirds (66%) of likely voters would be against governments using digital devices to track unvaccinated people to ensure that they are quarantined or socially distancing from others, 47% of Democrats favor a government tracking program for those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.

    How far are Democrats willing to go in punishing the unvaccinated? Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s much more than twice the level of support in the rest of the electorate – seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters – for such a policy.”

    The DO AS YOU’RE TOLD, OR ELSE set.

    Had to pitch off a distant family member last night over the COVID religion. To be fair, he’s not one of the smarter ones in our bunch. However, I have to wonder about some other members who have fully bought in. A thought experiment took care of one of their harsh views, but have been getting shunned more lately.

    I could pick this crap apart all day. How did they measure “cognitive function”? Per other “evidence”.

    “Verbal declarative memory was assessed using both immediate word recall and delayed word recall tasks.”

    Knowing full well that level of recall declines as one gets older. No true general mental ability tests were conducted.

    “For semantic verbal fluency, respondents named as many animals as they could in one minute; the final score was based on the number of unique correct responses.”

    Again, processing speed declines with age.

    Also, this bit:

    ” That we were able to replicate known predictors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy – being female (Detoc et al., 2020, Freeman et al., 2020, Wang et al., 2020), younger (Detoc et al., 2020, Freeman et al., 2020), non-white ethnicity,(Freeman et al., 2020, Robertson et al., 2021, Williams et al., 2021), and having a lower prevalence of physical morbidity(Ruiz and Bell, 2021) – gives us some confidence in our novel results for cognitive function.”

    So wait? They’re all democrats?

    Correlational results are moderate values.

    The data isn’t strong, so have to sound authoritative to fool the masses.

    Crkey. Checked out the study. Partial eta squared values show a VERY SMALL EFFECT (values from ,01 to .06 indicate small effect and .06 to .14 denotes a medium effect). .

    Plus this little gambit:

    “Given the geographical proximity and socio-economic similarity of the populations studied, it is not possible to generalize findings to other populations..”

    @Doc-Robinson

    Notice all Cohen’s d values show small effects. Talk about much ado about nothing.

    Also, previous research showed people who scored high on agreeableness and high on conscientiousness were most likely to turn the voltage all the way up on “learners” in the Milgram experiment.

    But I agree, the Federal Contractor mandate likely won’t be upheld either on the basis of the OSHA decision.

    To be fair, the decision only upholds the stay for OSHA, constitutionality won’t be decided until later this year. Hopefully the appointed lawyers will argue it better next time. They only needed two premises.

    1) Experimental “vaccine” 2) Doesn’t reduce transmission

    OSHA mandates blocked by SCOTUS 6-3, HHS mandate okayed 5-4.

    Biden tells businesses to do it anyway when SCOTUS and the Senate has said NO.. Can you say constitutional crisis and impeachable offense?

    “Permitting OSHA to regulate the hazards of daily life – simply because most Americans have jobs and face those same risks while on the clock – would significantly expand OSHA’s regulatory authority without clear congressional authorization.”

    “Now both are equal. Both have acquired immunity.”

    If they don’t get the next vax/booster. If so, then it’s gone gone gone.

    I know the new term is mass formation psychosis, but have to say I did like the video Germ posted pertaining to Milgram. The hard part for most is getting those who need to escape the narrative to employ the three solutions presented. One: Turn away from the authority, i.e., turn off the TV. That seems to be the toughest one because while I’ve been successful at getting them to turn off TV news, they still seek other propaganda media outlets. The smart phone being the most powerful hypnotic. Two: The unvaccinated and vaccinated talking face to face and exchanging information. Somewhat, but fear is still a problem and texting serves as the defacto form of communication for too many. Three: Invoke a higher power. Easy to do with those who follow a deity, not so easy to do for those who don’t.

    Bringing up the raw data and explaining what it means? Forget it.

    Anecdotally, four people I know are have known have come down with COVID in the past week. 50/50 vaxxed to not vaxxed. About like a bad cold in all. None of the vaxxed have shaken the narrative, both non-vaxxed have dug in saying they still won’t get the shot due to risk. Small sample size, and I’ll probably know more as this winter goes along, but I don’t see the vaxxed changing anytime soon no matter how much bullshit the authorities spew. Sadly.I think it will take many getting direct harm from the vaccine to turn the tide. The narrative managers might be seeing this in the data and panicking, hence, the backtracking and treating it as new information through statistical skullduggery.

    The camel always gets poked eventually. Dr. D brought up John Titor in regard to the 2020 election (he/she presidency), but my mind returned to another quote from that 2000s site.

    Who can you trust the least? Those who have the most to lose if the world changes. We’re seeing that now. So we have the PMC false prophets.

    Btw, hard of hearing also from Meniere’s Disease as a child. Never learned to lip read of sign, but used the reading ability acquired before it began going down precipitously to guess what word would fit in a sentence if I missed a word or two. I’d say it worked about 75% of the time. I do realize others were not so lucky, and actually learned something new just in case complete deafness is in my future. I thank Raul for posting it.

    Apologies if Tessa has been posted already, but I thought it prudent, as it fits with just about everything that has happened and will happen in the near future.

    “They are lying

    It’s obscene.

    We are asked to live in a reality that’s completely manufactured—and to act like slaves and snitches.

    Nonsense reigns.

    Scientific standards have been banished, and honest doctors, censored.

    Signal jamming is so heavy that it works like magic, and a lot of people have succumbed because they don’t yet know that believing liars can potentially harm them more than having to live with an uncomfortable truth.

    Wherever I look, from horizon to horizon, I see lies. “

    “”Wow, I had no idea it was this bad. They’re all complete idiots,” said local HVAC repairman Joe Bob Smith who was standing outside the Supreme Court. “How could that many people in a high position of authority be that uninformed and dumb? It boggles the mind.”

    “I hope he can hold out, but it’s not looking good,” said Smith. “I mean, how did any of these judges pass middle school? Do they spend every waking hour watching CNN? Do they need to see a doctor? I just don’t understand.

    Smith was interrupted as a short yellow bus arrived to take Justice Sotomayor home.”
