That worked, let’s try again. This is my essay from johndayblog without the link

Texas Governor, Greg Abbot has rescinded the Texas mask mandate for public places like grocery stores, leaving it up to business owners to decide whether to request customers to wear masks or not. This is a complex political decision, and it is something of a gamble.
Some business owners want to be off the hook for not requiring masks, like bars and strip clubs. Other businesses, in anti-mask territory, feel that they are being put on the firing line between customers who don’t want masks, and vulnerable employees, as well as vulnerable customers. The grocery store chain HEB is the largest employer in Texas, and has shown real appreciation of it’s workers and the risks, morbidity and mortality they faced by serving the public every day.
Austin was masking well before the mandate. Austin has been ahead of the precautions curve for a year, since South By Southwest music festival cancellation was announced just about a year ago. That was SERIOUS. When school was cancelled the day before spring break was to begin, the traffic reduced to a small percentage of its usual crush, having already halved before that (in the estimation of a daily bike commuter).
Rural Yoakum seems to have largely quit masking in stores in the last 6 weeks, including employees. HEB employees mask, though.
If you look at the graphs in the link below, you will see that Texas has had a first wave of viral infections and deaths in spring and early summer, with a lull in the fall (as vitamin-D levels rose while the virus spread in summer and stabilized in September, before falling in October). The big surge came with Halloween, as there were so many parties, then Thanksgiving, as families joined together for food, drink and fellowship, then Christmas and New Year festivities. All of this human social engagement was somewhat muted, but it was present, and more for some people and towns than others.
“Herd Immunity” is a condition when there are few enough members of a group that are susceptible to a contagious pathogen, that the pathogen has a hard time finding a new host to infect before being eradicated by its host, or killing its host. There are some members of any herd who are just not very susceptible to any contagious virus, and that percentage is hard to determine prospectively. Most defense against coronavirus infection happens in the nose and throat area, as a general defense, not requiring specific antibodies. That is what children do so well. That is why most people do not get very sick with the current novel coronavirus, because they stop it before it does it’s special thing of attacking the blood vessel linings. Most people with mild coronavirus infection in the nose and throat area do not get a test at all. The current best estimate is that the actual number of infections is running about 6 times the number of reported “confirmed cases”, which means positive tests.
Somewhere between 50 to 60% of Americans have had COVID, mostly mild, and mostly over the fall and winter holidays, so immunity has not likely faded away. Coronavirus specific-immunity mostly fades between 6 and 12 months from infection, unless stimulated again by a little re-exposure. Some people get re-exposed to cornaviruses fairly frequently. As a doctor, treating a general medical population, I get exposed to this and that regularly. Jenny, my wife, who is a Birthday Girl today, is a school librarian. She sees every kid in the school and gives and receives and helps them pick books off the shelves.
Jenny and I MIGHT be in the group that is not very likely to get sick with a coronavirus, whether we catch a little in our noses or not. We don’t really know. We take vitamin-D and a little zinc, as we have for years.
Vaccinations in Texas are up to about 6.8% ofTexans fully vaccinated, and many of them have had the virus already, so they are getting an immunity boost. Vaccine immunity is not as broad as natural immunity, especially since these current vaccines just target a few protein sequences on the viral spike protein, not every little part of the virus, as natural immunity does. There is some argument about how good the vaccine protection is against the South African variant, which has a lot of difference in it’s mutated spike protein. They are clearly less effective against it. How that will play out for cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the broad world is uncertain, so there is argument.
Spring Break is the week after next in Texas, and the mask mandate has been lifted. Young adult Texans and high school students and families are likely to vacation and congregate a lot, though not at South By Southwest. There was a surge in cases among Texas college students last year, and they were much disparaged for acting like young animals again, as they do every spring break. They spread COVID. In the fall at UT, Austin there was a lot of rapid testing for COVID at ground level, including football games, which required a negative test for students wanting a ticket. There was something like a 9% background positivity rate on those tests, on people with little to no symptoms. That meant that the virus was spreading quickly through the university population. We can presume that it pervaded that population pretty well over fall and winter.
So Governor Abbott has more specific information about testing in special populations, like college students and school kids, than the rest of us do. He is under a variety of political pressures to move and stand still, and I’m sure he is tired of it. Texas just got whacked with the deep freeze ice week around Valentine’s Day, and the biggest electric utility in Texas has filed for bankruptcy. There will be more.
This guy, who I have never particularly liked, but who is not stupid, really craves some kind of decisive victory, which will allow him to move the Texas economy forward, which is what his job and popularity depend upon.
My guess is that Governor Greg Abbot is making the sprint to the finish, desiring to declare “herd immunity” or to declare that it is emerging as such, almost all the way there. A lot of people are afraid that we are going to get another spike of morbidity and mortality, like we did in December and January, but I really think that wood is mostly burned, already.
Will there be some spike in cases from spring break, or will cases continue to decline on the same trajectory?
A small spike in positive tests in a population of young people, without a subsequent rise in hospitalizations and deaths would lead to a declaration of victory by the Governor of Texas. “Texas is Open For Business” would be declared.
That would be a big advantage for the Texas economy, and it needs it, as the economic damage from the big freeze is still being assessed. Texas needs a big infrastructure rebuild over this decade, and it needs an economy to do that.

Still not going…

All marketing oversells benefits and undersells risks. Vaccine makers really, really want to give the impression that their vaccines have led to herd immunity, as it rapidly emerges anyway. Take 5000 units per day of vitamin-D to support your immune system, with or without vaccine!

I posted a second time this morning, except that It didn’t go through.
Let’s see how this goes.

[John Day]

The WHO paper that analyzes HCQ trials and aggregates them to give a meta analysis gets to choose which ones it analyzes before starting.
It ignores 6 studies that show clear benefit, and picks heavily from this “bad list” of flawed studies:

Problematic RCTs of hydroxychloroquine vs. COVID-19

BINGO!
The desired result!
HCQ-Bad!

[John Day]

There is the change in PCR threshold, but labs, big labs in the US won’t say what threshold they are using. The WHO recommendation, long overdue, coincided with the rise of rapid testing, which does not tend to over diagnose “cases”. We finally had it in use in December and it is what we are now able to rely upon. We have real time feedback on our clinical impressions, and that is the case throughout Austin, and I presume, many other cities and towns.
We have really, truly been seeing a fall in people sick with COVID since late January in Austin, and specifically in our clinic. The ice-week cut testing down to something like 20% in Texas, and the percent positive rate rose a little, since sick people, sick enough to go to a hospital, still got tested, if they got there.
It’s really down and sputtering, though, this viral-pandemic. This is the “herd immunity” effect, I believe. People spread it from Halloween through new Year, starting from the comfort of peak vitamin-D levels shortly before that, the freedoms of summer. This is our species pattern.
It made the “second wave”. There is talk of “third wave” and a coming “fourth wave”, but everybody has an angle they need to push. Yes, the South African strain is different enough that vaccines don’t worke so well, and even prior COVID is less protective, but the herd effect, which is mainly from people having antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not having spike-protein antibodies from a vaccine, mitigates spread and mitigates severity.
Do take 5000 units per day of vitamin-D, double that fo a couple of months, if you are just starting. 25-50 mg once per day of oral zinc is a good addition to that, and 250 mg per day of quercetin, if they sell it where you live.
Off to work, now. Lots of making up that lost week, during which I did not get caught up on anything.

[John Day]

Oops, make that “introduce corruption-skim”.

[John Day]

@Phoenixvoice: I hear you, everything from “not all regulations are created equal” onward. Glass Steagall was created to limit financial manipulations by powerful financiers, which robbed everybody else. Many regulations currently make it too expensive to be in a field (like medicine) unless you can afford massive bureaucratic and computer system overhead, which is fabulously expensive, cumbersome, slow, but pays high fees for licensing (for every single person who uses it). This was mandated by law. It’s a huge boondoggle. Administrative overhead in medicine is at least 10 times what it should be and 20 times what it was in 1985. Charles Hugh Smith has done some good graphics on that.
Cuomo: Power corrupts. Those who seek it are untrustworthy with it.
Sorry about how you got dragged through the courts and misused.

I have been trying to catch up at the clinic this past week, and the next 2 weeks will be more of that.
I am getting things planted in all 3 vegetable gardens, too.
Much less bandwidth for internet communications. Work and sleep.
Not meaning to whine. Jenny and I are doing fine, but all of the patients and projects need a lot of attention and work. Being a school librarian and helpful with everything that everybody needs, and dictated to by everybody everywhere, and trying to do everything for all of the kids with crashing zoom is not satisfying. Coworkers, kids and parents mostly really appreciate Jenny, but the depersonalization, complexity and failing (expensive) technology makes her work just a constant stream of frustrations, crashes and wasted days. (She sneaks in some weekends to shelve books, because there is no time during the week, any more.)

I really agree with those who see our economic life support system failing from layers of complexity that degrade performance, extract value, introduce corruption-skin, and anti-corruption compliance waste, and are paid for largely by a financial and military system extracting value from “client states”.
Not only will this “not end well”. It’s already really sick and dehumanizing at all of the levels of real production of value and service.

Therefore, we’re doing our side projects as much as we can. I’ve got no better plans than that.

I drove over to the clinic this morning to spend a few hours cleaning up the death that winter left, but it’s not all dead. Some beets and rutabagas look like they will grow more leaves, and the Daikon raddshes are doing pretty well. The collard greens lived and the mustard greens are poised to make acomeback. I planted peppers and tomatoes. Multi-colored bush beans are planted, but not yet coming up. I’m pretty hopeful that the mandarin orange trees will live, but all of their leaves are sure dead. The pach trees have not yet bloomed.
Just finished brunch and the weather radar says I probably won’t get too wet on the bike, so I’m going for it,… back to work, but without the dirt.
We are herd animals, but some of us think for ourselves. That’s mostly awkward, but once in a while it might be really useful. Doctors included.

https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/02/great-resetters.html

John Ward looks at the “Great Resetters”: Precisely what defines a Resetter?
​ ​Starting from a database of 37 million companies (he likes a challenge) Glattfelder used multivariate criteria to boiled off the number to just 1,318 (1) had ties to two or more other companies (2) had an average connection to 20 and (3) collectively owned huge chunks, through shares, the majority of the world’s large blue chip firms – accounting for 60 per cent of global business income.
​ ​The more one boils, the smaller the numbers get…with a top ten controlling four-fifths of everything everywhere. They are:
1. Barclays plc 2. Capital Group Companies Inc. 3. FMR Corporation 4. AXA 5. State Street Corporation 6. JPMorgan Chase & Co. 7. Legal & General Group plc 8. Vanguard Group Inc. 9. UBS AG 10. Merrill Lynch & Co Inc.
​ ​Also present in the top 25 are Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Goldman Sachs.
Yup, they’re all engaged in bancassurance, and they’re mainly Anglo-American. There are no big manufacturing, energy or pharmafia corporations in the Top 49. There is just one distributor in the shape of Wal-Mart at N° 15.
T​ ​his is the key insight I offer on this data today: if you want to know what marks out a Great Resetter from the rest, it’s this: they don’t make anything – they simply move stuff around – but they do control the ownership of everything.
​ ​This makes them incredibly vulnerable to a global va​l​uation crash….but the only people truly able to engineer a ‘Reset’.
That’s what I call money, means and motive. But would they ever try such a dastardly thing?
EXPLOSIVE: STRING-PULLERS AUDITED

Critics Must Be Silenced for Billionaires to Keep Profiting From Pandemic​, Robert F Kennedy Jr.​
​ ​On Feb. 15, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post published a Feb. 11 Associated Press article applauding the censorship of those who criticize the government’s pandemic response policies.
​ ​The lockdown has netted Bezos $70 billion since its start. If you are Bezos, a permanent lockdown is a goldmine.
​ ​Bill Gates, meanwhile, has made $20 billion from the lockdown he previously war-gamed and then cheer-led. His strategy has included emasculating the independent media — the most likely sources of the sort of vigorous journalism that might otherwise scrutinize his self interest in the polices he helped successfully engineer for the rest of us.
​ ​Gates used millions in grants to transform the once proudly unbridled The Guardian into his personal newsletter. With $250 million, he purchased immunity from criticism by news operations like the BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde and the Center for Investigative Reporting…
​ ​The mainstream network news shows, including CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox have put COVID Terror, Vaccines Salvation and the obligatory shaming of dissidents on a 24-hour loop with each segment (and I use this term in every sense of the word) with pharmaceutical advertisements.
​ ​These outlets have turned their weekly talk shows into fawning hagiographies for Gates’ regular satellite tours in which credulous, obsequious Sunday morning talk show hosts lob softball medical questions to a billionaire with no public health training.
​ ​Nobody ever asks Gates or his mini-me, Tony Fauci, why they chose to spend tens of billions in taxpayer dollars on speculative vaccines and zero dollars investigating the many off-the-shelf, off-patent medications that have demonstrated extraordinary success in the hands of private doctors — medications that might have ended the pandemic a year ago.
​ ​The media, which has enabled this global hostage crisis, is arguably the most consequential criminal enterprise in human history. As Rahm Emmanuel observed, “never let a good crisis go to waste.”
​ ​Gates and Fauci have demonstrated that by controlling the media, billionaires and their government cronies can prolong a crisis forever and accumulate unprecedented wealth and power over humanity.

Critics Must Be Silenced for Billionaires to Keep Profiting From Pandemic

Tom sends this historical parallel about the threat to Roman oligarchs by a populist Tribune, Tiberius Gracchus (RIP).
​ ​Tiberius Gracchus was a Roman politician and official in the Second Century BC. Gracchus was a member of the populares, a faction that sided with the plebian – the common people – against the conservative aristocratic patricians who had traditionally held power in Rome. At the time of Gracchus the small independent farmers of the Roman Republic were increasingly feeling economic pressure from the concentration of public lands into giant estates held by aristocrats. Rome, a nation whose strength had also been built on a class of free, independent men was now increasingly owned and controlled by a strata of oligarchs.
Tiberius Gracchus proposed reforms to break up the giant estates and redistribute the land to average Romans. He was vehemently opposed to the aristocrats and made no secret of his intention to destroy their power. He was aggressive. He was loud. He threatened the entire power structure of those who believed the Republic belonged to them.

@Dr.D: Digging trenches is a lot of work. Planting seedlings farther and farther north is successive generations takes a lot of time, something like 4 months per mile, judging from the distances they used for each jum and an estimate of 8 years for a seed to grow to where it could bear fruit. You may note what sort of an economy invested in all of those years and all of those trenches for such modest production of lemons. I like the training of the trees close to the ground, though. That’s possibly worthwhile, “Espalier” growing is what the French call it. You can train a tree close to a south facing brick wall, too.

Warm Well Wishers,

Jenny and I are fine. I guess the news cycle ended Thursday, because Texas warmed up Friday, and we hit the road to Yoakum that afternoon when the roads were safe from being driven on for several hours. Our duplex in Austin did not have water when we left, or when we returned after a big Saturday workday in Yoakum, but we took showers in Yoakum. That modest town was almost unscathed, though it had not gotten the initial ice storm 2/10 – 2/11/21. One outside pipe burst, but was heard to burst Friday by the electrical work crew. That was quickly dealt with, capped off by the plumber they called, who had done a lot of work on the house last year.

Our sons Steve and Jim came down from Dallas and Ft. Worth late Friday night, and we did a lot of tree work and cleaning up of the grounds..
Jim cut down lots of big limbs and we dut them up into firewood and brush piles laid out neatly by the street.

The avocado trees were hit really hard. I’ve never had somebody tell me their avocado tree survived 8 degrees F. We unwrapped the plastic tents we had created around them and put that neatly away in the shop.
We will see over the next month if any of them shows signs of life sprouting out from below.

The Mexican avocado seedlings I have been growing for a little over a year got covered in ice by the initial ice storm, and stayed in it for a few days, but

we put them in the garage before the temperatures dropped down below the mid 20s, and they are doing pretty well. 6 to 8 of them are looking like we could just put them in the ground, though I did just pot them up into big pots a few weeks ago. I have ordered at least one replacement avocado tree, and will likely order another variety, and get as many other replacement varieties as I can from Texas growers.
The roster might shift a bit. We’ll see over the next month or so.

The Texas power grid was seconds to minutes from collapse, which is estimated would have taken at least 8 days to bring back online. That sure would have been worse. A very few professionals had to act quickly and decisively. They did. They will never be thanked, I suspect.

Clarity came to Texans last week. It was clear that things were much worse with power, water and gas infrastructure than people realized, and everybody was affected. It all needs major fixing which will take a long time and be expensive. It may be politically unifying, for awhile…
​ ​Hardship like what Texas is going through right now can bring clarity. And in the teeth of this winter storm, the entire energy industry, with its high-powered lobbyists and its billions in taxpayer subsidies, is beginning to look like every other elite institution in America: a corrupt and parasitic enterprise whose failures come at the expense of ordinary Americans—in this case, people who are now trying to stay alive in their own homes.

Wes and Zerosum: Thanks for wood-stove comments and experience.
@Madamski: Lots of good output again, Girl (“Girl-illa”? Samsomnette”?)
Some philosophers would opine that Hope was the last and worst demon to fly from Pandora’s box, inducing the suffering to stay and keep suffering all of the other curses.
That’s not Buddhist or Hindu, though. It’s hard to be sure about stuff until you have tested it in your own life. I suspect you have done so. The stoics did not advocate hope, nor did they advocate useless suffering, but they were more inclined to keep an even keel, without a lot of expectations, and deal with things as they came along, the best they could. That is more Buddhist and Taoist and stuff.
“Collapse now and avoid the rush” is a catchy line, which I like for that.
The main thing is to anticipate the coming wave and get your board positioned and start to paddle in the right direction to slide into it, instead of getting wiped-out. Yeah?
@ezlxa1949 :This many days without rising above freezing , almost 7, but it got to 33F yesterday afternoon, is one record. Some have said this would be worse than 1966, but it involved sequential layers of ice and snow, beginning with a heavy ice coat on trees and power lines 8.5 days ago, which brought a lot of both down, and never melted, just got piled onto. The severity of the cold was also unprecedented. Maybe some of the numbers had been seen before on that day, but not the sequence, nor the persistence, which really did freeze pipes because it was so long, relentless and severe. Unprecedented in records, all in all.

@WES: oil you can’t get is effectively no oil, as you point out. Cheap and portable energy is required to run and support the complex economy that can get that Venezuelan and Canadian tar out of the ground and minimal EROI.
After that economy is gone you need what Jed Clampett found when “he was shootin’ at some food”. That’s all been found. Who gets to use it for what when the big economy falls-and-can’t-get-up?
@V.Arnold: I like the heating solutions in Thailand, but I caught malaria, trekking near the Burmese border, not terribly far from you. I had medicine and took it, and carried my pack again the next day, trudged.. It’s a long term consideration in a world where technology may or may not be sustained.
Most of us are old enough that it is an intellectual or spiritual consideration, though I think we all want to die on our own terms.
I can’t figure out what terms I’m demanding yet…

If you supplement regularly, you already have a good blood level of fully active vitamin-D, calcifediol, by the time you inadvertently snort some coronavirus. We know that this lowers your risk of becoming actively infected, and we see that it also improves your course of infection, if you do.

[John Day]

First Vitamin-D:
The “health nerd” picks faults and rattles them off without context, to sound knowledgeable and trustworthy, but he is actually misleading, which he reveals early on with his ose of adjectives and comparison. He gets paid for what he writes, not for a real-world career.
The Spanish study used calcifediol and did randomly assign people to whatever ward had openings. Treating with calcifediol by ward was practical. Not everybody who gets into a hospital in a rush gets every lab done at admission, but people were not excluded for lack of a baseline vitamin-D level.
that’s life.
The big thing about calcifediol, which he does not explain, is that it is immediately bioavailable, while vitamn-D2 and D3 need to be activated in the liver, which takes something like a week.
Calcifediol is appropriate for hospital studies, because this “active” vitamin-D intervention gets to work right away There is nothing in the Spanish study which would unfairly bias it in any way, nor discredit it’s conclusions. It’s a good, prospective, equitably assigned (“random” as possible) medical study.
I don’t have the Brazilian study in front of me, and I can’t recall what vitamin-D it used, but I do recall that the average baseline vitamin-D level was something in the mid 20s, “low”, but not “deficient” in the parlance of many doctors. The Brazilian study failing to find a significant difference, with subjects who were not very low in vitamin-D to begin with, does not refute the results of a large, well performed study, which did show a big benefit.
Smoke screen. Blow job. Throwing sand in one’s eyes.
Not addressed, but previously addressed in Indonesia last spring is the high correlation between severity of vitamin-D deficiency and severity of COVID outcomes in morbidity and mortality.
Few hospitalized patients had normal vitamin-D levels in that large observational cohort.
(Not addressed is the ancient and venerable “vitamin D hypothesis”, that viral illness spreads seasonally as vitamin-D levels fall, because the immune system does not function properly with low vitamin-D levels. “We” used to make our own vitamin-D, before we got a mutation that prevented it. We were ok, due to environmental conditions, eating other animals who did, and plenty sunshine on bare skin. Part of the hypothesis is that humans LOST pigment when migrating to Germany and Russia, because it enhanced survival to get every bit of vitamin-D possible.)

@Michael Reid: Thanks for the additional Kitchen Queen research/advice. Wood stoves in Texas were usually an outdoor kitchen thing, due to excess heat.

Opening The CIAs Can of Worms, Edward Curtain Thanks Wiggs [attacks and deplatforming on RFK Jr, self-limiting journalistic dissenters]
​T​he CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,” wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book, The CIA As Organized Crime.​..We have long been subjected to this “information warfare,” whose purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American people and pacify them into victims of their own complicity, just as it was practiced long ago by the CIA in Vietnam and by The New York Times, CBS, etc. on the American people then and over the years as the American warfare state waged endless wars, coups, false flag operations, and assassinations at home and abroad.
​ ​Another way of putting this is to say for all practical purposes when it comes to matters that bear on important foreign and domestic matters, the CIA and the corporate mainstream media cannot be distinguished.
​ ​For those who read and study history, it has long been known that the CIA has placed their operatives throughout every agency of the U.S. government, as explained by Fletcher Prouty in The Secret Team; that CIA officers Cord Myer and Frank Wisner operated secret programs to get some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom among intellectuals, journalists, and writers to be their voices for unfreedom and censorship, as explained by Frances Stonor Saunders in The Cultural Cold War and Joel Whitney in Finks, among others; that Cord Myer was especially focused on and successful in “courting the Compatible Left” since right wingers were already in the Agency’s pocket.

​After being deplatformed on Instagram, and libeled by the New York Time:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman of Children’s Health Defense, said:
“Every statement I put on Instagram was sourced from a government database, from peer-reviewed publications and from carefully confirmed news stories. None of my posts were false. Facebook, the pharmaceutical industry and its captive regulators use the term ‘vaccine misinformation’ as a euphemism for any factual assertion that departs from official pronouncements about vaccine health and safety, whether true or not. This kind of censorship is counterproductive if our objective is a safe and effective vaccine supply.

​ ​Conspiracies for good and for evil do exist now, as they have from time immemorial, Matthew Ehret writes. The only question is which intention do you want to devote your life towards?
​ ​If you are starting to feel like forces controlling the governments of the west are out to get you, then it is likely that you are either a paranoid nut job, or a stubborn realist.
​ ​Either way, it means that you have some major problems on your hands.​..
Nancy Pelosi’s official biographer Molly Ball, recently penned a scandalous Time Magazine article entitled
‘The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Elections’ which admitted to this conspiracy saying:
​ ​“Even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream- a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” (Lest you think that this was a subversion of democracy, Ball informs us that “they were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”)
​ ​Another conclusion you might come to is that many of the political figures whom you believed were serving those who elected them into office, actually serve the interests of a clique of technocrats and billionaires lusting over the deconstruction of western civilization under something called “a Great Reset”.

America’s future is in the hands of woefully inept cretins at a time when creativity and innovation are needed more than ever
​ ​The US’ future looks grim indeed in the face of a ‘Great Reset’ proposed by the same powers that steered it into a deadly economic quagmire. Why are Americans allowing those who broke their world the privilege of ‘fixing’ it?
​ ​Americans with more power and connections than sense have rushed forward over the last year, attempting to seize the right to ‘fix’ a society broken by shockingly stupid responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Entire generations are being rendered suicidally depressed, unemployable, hopelessly alienated, and worse, while the likelihood that the current generation of children will mature into functional adults is rapidly shrinking. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for such a heterogenous population, and this moment calls for an unprecedented degree of creativity and imagination if we are to survive as a society.

​ The Tokyo government hopes to support the trials using some beds at metropolitan and public hospitals. Ivermectin will be given to patients with mild symptoms, comparing their response with those receiving a placebo…
​ ​Japan has a large and thriving pharmaceutical industry as well as a respected medical research capability. In fact, Ivermectin was developed in Japan by Kitasato University professor emeritus Satoshi Omura, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his feat.

​Brad and Jeremy bith sent versions of this molecular biology analysis of plausible effects of the COVID-19 spike protein, and also the m-RNA based “vaccines” designed to stimulate immune response against the virus. Spike protein​ segments are the critical factor. They seem to be able to cause abnormal folding of intracellular proteins into “prion” configurations. “Prions”, abnormally folded proteins, are what cause “Mad Cow Disease” and the Jacob-Kreuzfeld human equivalent. These configurations cause other pieces of the same protein to also fold abnormally, and this shows up as protein clogs , “amyloid plaques” building up, and making nerve cells and regions of the nervous system malfunction and gradually worsen, as in Alzheimers.
I am not endorsing this hypothesis, but merely considering it, keeping it in mind.
The initial binding could be between spike proteins on the surface of the cell transfected by the vaccine and ACE2 on the surface of an adjacent cell. The resulting complex may become internalized. Alternatively, the interaction could initially take place in the cytoplasm of a cell that makes ACE2 and has been transfected with the vaccine RNA coding for the spike protein. The interaction is quite concerning given the belief that the virus causing COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, is a bioweapon [10,11] and it is possible that the viral spike protein may have been designed to cause prion disease​…
​ ​Finally, others working in the field have published additional support that COVID-19 vaccines could potentially induce prion disease. Authors [18] found prion related sequences in the COVID-19 spike protein which were not found in related coronaviruses. Others [19] have reported a case of prion disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, initially occurring in a man with COVID-19.

So, Governor Abbott, it’s solar, wind, natural gas and nuclear to blame, brother.
Also Winter.
Hydroelectric is hangin’ in there, though.

[John Day]

Texas’ only nuclear power plant, STNP, is not powering 2 million homes today, because Winter. It was never winterized, because that doesn’t happen very often on the Gulf Coast, so it’s not worth it. Dick Cheney’s company made this power plant. It was supposed to be 3 reactors, but 2 silos had such bad voids in the concrete that they had to give up on them.

Wood stoves, cont. from last night:

@Michael Reid: That Kitchen Queen is a LOT of cook stove, more than we will be able to properly use in central Texas, though it looks like a fine product.
@V.Arnold: They say the old USA Ashley’s had some problems and the new ones are made in China, like most or all of what US Stove Company sells.
@Dr.D: Jotul prices are not listed, so I assume they are high.
In this process I did discover that Home Depot carries wood stoves(Inc. Ashley).
I like Home Depot’s return policy pretty well, and shipping is free to store..

[John Day]

@Ezlxa1949 : no need to steralize, just dilute and spray.

@Chett: Thanks for the heat pump specifics. I have been investigating wood stoves (Tractor Supply Co.) and they are all made in China, with something like 1:3 having significant breakage and malfunction problems, due to n quality control. Reading all of the reviews on the highest sellers tells what breaks and how frequent that is. It looks like most defects become apparent pretty soon, but you may discover cracks in the metal 2-3 years after purchase. It looks like the expensive ones are as bad as the lower priced ones, by that crude methodology.
We have a Pioneer heat pump new in boxes, which I was going to put in the workshop, but it’s ok without anything, now that it is well insulated and with good vent windows.
We intend to build a smaller secondary house, mainly kitchen and open area, with a bathroom/utility room and a screened porch, about 800 square feet. The heat pump and wood stove are getting figured into it, along with a vented natural gas wall heater. I like ’em.
@My Parents Said Know: There are 3 lineages of avocado: Mexican (soft skins, produce annually, most cold tolerant), East Indian (Florida/Cuba/etc not cold tolerant at all, but more tolerant of brackish water on roots and BIG, produce every other year, watery), Guatemalan (Pebbly skin, smallish, a little cold tolerant, good oil content, produce every other year, ship well due to hard skin).
Hass is a guatemalan/Mexican cross from a tree discovered in about 1938, and propogated through grafting. Fruit cn hang on THAT tree for 3-4 months before being picked, and are very slow to ripen when picked, so very easy to synchronize to distant markets. That’s why Hass rules, not because it is especially good. Every avocado I ate in HAwaii, off any tree, was better, but I don’t live in Hawaii, now.

Ilargi said: “That’s awfully simplified. Wind is 20% of Texas power, and not even the biggest failure. All power plants must be properly winterized, and in Texas virtually non are, because one in a decade+ event. It’s not just the moving parts, it’s also water supply. There are ways to protect wind turbines from ice and snow, but for the same reasons those were not applied either.”

Our water is out now, a city problem, not our pipes. I did feel like Mish was turning the knife in the wound more than was seemly, but he made a good point about hidden costs of wind and solar power in a mass installation, as Texas has. Texas did have a similar, but more regional problem in 2011, and mandated weatherizing of power plants, which is “still ongoing” = not-done-yet.
Texas politicians are throwing poison-dart accusations right and left, but it’s no protection, I think Everybody knows nobody was prepared for this, and we all have to make some real changes and spend some real money to be more able to support the grid when disasters happen, which they will.
Natural gas plants are the way to do this, since they fire up quickly and can come online and go offline quickly. There is natural gas for them and water, and some have been recently decommissioned, but can be upgraded and refurbished. Gas lines and water pumps and pipes were problematic. That can be remediated. It’s standard technology. Texas needs to get together on this. 100 ft long turbine blades and rotor hubs are on the road every time we drive to Yoakum, new ones, going north to the flatlands.
I’m not saying they are bad, but I sure wish there was a use for them, and Teslas, after 12 years or so. They are going to build a Tesla plant on our route between Austin and Yoakum, too.
I hope at least one of our engineer sons can get a job there, maybe both. They live up in car-pileup-land, Dallas-Ft-Worth.
What happened on that icy pileup was that it happened just past the crest of a ridge, so it was invisible to traffic going 75 mph, approaching it, until they cleared the ridge and slammed into it on the slick surface. Cars were stacked 3 high in that pileup. I’ve not seen pictures like that before.

[John Day]

I agree with Madamski, This spray is a nasal rinse, like a neti-pot. It physically rinses out viral particles before they attach to your nasal mucosa and get swallowed like little Trojans. Use a neti pot every 5 minutes at work and you, too will be fine. Hmmmm… How does this work if you just rinse your nose 3 times a day?

I wrote and compiled this last evening when the electricity came back on after a day off.
Internet is spotty today. https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/02/texas-freezing-blackout.html

Sharing Space Blankets,

​ Texas is cold, colder than anything on record, overall, for this time of year, and snowed-in, which never happens for more than a day here in central Texas. This combination, and the long duration, 6 days already, and counting, make this event an order of magnitude or more beyond the parameters that engineers considered when designing safety measures. Something similar, but milder and more localized happened in the Dallas, Fort Worth area during super bowl 2011, I hear, but I don’t recall it. I didn’t live there.
The cost to keep a temperature differential from inside to outside matters in several ways. Texas houses and businesses often pump something like 35 degrees, between 105 outside and 70 inside during the summer, with AC units, which are heat pumps. Heat pumps are pretty efficient. They might use 1 unit of electricity to pump 9 equal energy nits of heat outside. Gas burning furnaces and stoves are pretty good. Stoes don’t waste any heat. They are unvented heaters. CO2 does build up with lots of burning over a long time. Lots of use lived with unvented heaters for many years in the old days. Gas furnaces won’t work when the electricity is out. Stoves will. You may need a match.
Electric heating is different. It does not pump 9 units of heat for every equal unit of electricity.
Resistive electric heaters make 1 unit of heat for 1 unit of electricity. Resistive electric heaters take 9 times as much electricity to cover that 35 degree differential, and a lot of us are trying to get 65 degrees inside with 15 degrees outside this week.
A lot of people need 12 times as much electricity as during summer peak load.
About 40% of Texas households are currently without electricity. We just had about 20 hours without electricity, after 8 hours without last Thursday evening and night. We are fortunate to have a gas stove, and an older one with a gas pilot light, so we used it and blanketed up overnight, and sweatered up in the daytime.
We have been able to cook. We have nice fresh produce we harvested ahead of the deadly cold.
We gave some away, too. Not the spinach. Jenny cooked lovely Saag paneer 2 days ago, and I made spinach omelets with mushroom and cheese sauce today. Still tasting it…
I carried in frozen rainwater buckets to put in the refrigerator and freezer, which became “the icebox”, which was fun to say.
I put them back outside a while ago when the power came on. They are “recharging”.
​ Without internet, I read most of Charles Hugh Smith’s latest book, print version, by a window, A Hacker’s Teleology: Sharing the Wealth of Our Shrinking Planet. I have other books I still need to read…
There is a lot of blame being cast in Texas, for political purposes, but the fact is that nobody would have budgeted for something this extreme. Now they will need to.
Many natural gas wellheads are frozen and some of the pipelines are not working right in the extreme cold. Remaining natural gas power plants are burning all the gas they can get, and competing with residential users for it.
A lot of natural gas plants have been shut down in recent years, but they are the only kind of power plant that can ramp up fast to meet changes in electrical generation requirements. Some plants will need to be renovated and brought back online.
It will cost more most days, but it will provide resilience for times of severe need. Texas has the gas…
There is no wind or solar electric power currently online, due to ice storms last week and no thaw since then.
We got down to 8 degrees F, with a wind, yesterday morning, and 6 F this mo​rning. I’ve never experienced it getting below 16, and that was the winter of 1983-1984, when every palm tree in Houston died.
All of our “cold tolerant” Mexican avocado seedlings, now over a year old, are in the garage in their pots. The coating of ice from Thursday has melted. We put them in there before the temperature dropped below the mid 20s. That’s too cold.
No point killing them all. I just want to see which ones do better.
We’re not sure at all if any of the 15 Mexican avocado trees in Yoakum will live, though we cut up a roll of white plastic to wrap them with in sub freezing wind Saturday (Thanks Jenny!). We have been making deer-deterrence cages of chicken wire for a month, so that helps hold the wraps, but makes them harder to do and to tie. Jenny and I drove back to Austin after that chore, and harvesting the vegetables.
The “ghost trees” are pictured below.
We hope some live, but people are proud of the few that lived through 1983-1984, very proud.

I’m actually very hopeful for Texas, because this is a big adversity, unanticipated and overwhelming for all Texans, a shared hardship. Political unity of purpose is exceedingly rare these days, and organizations are locked into status-quo procedures and protocols. That’s terrible, and only serves a few insulated power elites.
This event provides a platform for practical initiatives to be taken by (politicians in) the State of Texas, in the interests of all Texans.
Washington can only get in the way of Texas reinforcing it’s power grid backup-capacity for severe events.
Run with that Ball, Texas!

Mike Shedlock is politically incorrect, but factual here. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, and still abundant. Combustion = Real Economy.

@My Parents said Know: Thanks, Bro. We’re ok, but we’ve had a lot of time without electricity. We have some now. We are fortunate to have a gas stove, which makes heat when there is no electricity. Many of us lived with unvented gas heaters for many years, and are not properly fearful of them. People with gas furnaces and no blower are as bad off as people with electric heaters. Only electric resistance heating, horribly wasteful, works in weather this cold. This is way colder than I’ve ever had in Texas, colder than January 1983, for instance. That killed every palm tree in Houston.
More in the morning, if we have power.
If any of the avocado trees live, it will be from some kind of super power, not the sheets of plastic we tied around them in the sub freezing wind Saturday.

RFK Jr for President, someday, and Tulsi Gabbard for Secretary of War, or VP, someday…
Thanks for all the kind and thoughtful comments yesterday, friends and fellow-travelers.
We’ll all be deplatformed and e-shunned soon, I suppose, but it looks like the overlords are having to ram too much compliance and police state down our throats too soon, maybe too late.
It can’t “work”, whatever maintenance of their own power and order they might hopefully envision.
It CAN be horrific, which it is our job to mitigate, since it affects us.
@V.Arnold. Good comment about 9/11 yesterday. Eisenhower saw things well underway, already, and the machine killed JFK, RFK and MLK, but it’s the same machine, and has to kill most of the people in the world this time, as I understand the analysis.

https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/02/enemy-of-life.html
Thank you all for the positive response to Treat Your Own COVID, and for sharing it around to friends and colleagues.
I have had somewhat less time to blog recently, due to having a lot of gardening and “prepping” work to do and arrange, at gardens in Austin and at the homestead in Yoakum.
This has been a big 2 years of work on the homestead project, now in its third winter, which has been mild and somewhat dry until now, so I got a lot of work done while the sun shined.
Now the “big chill” is here for a week. We are expected to have cold into the low teens in Austin and mid teens in Yoakum next Monday.
That will be a severe test to all of the Mexican avocado trees. Some varieties probably won’t survive.
Occasional big things happen in life, completely changing plans and forcing revisions to work already done.
We will bring the Mexican avocado seedlings in from the patio in Austin for the hard freeze..

One big, yet basic lesson we have been learning in Yoakum is that it is really hard to get things done, to get basic work done, in a rural setting, when you are not from there. We have engaged as many “bad” contractors (thieves) as good ones at this point.
It seems like local law enforcement doesn’t actually investigate things under $3000, involving contractors.
I did not know that before. They likely did.
Sometimes it’s a mixed bag, a guy who wants to be good, but has drug and alcohol problems.
Contractors seem to have meth and alcohol problems, for some reason.

Since fall of 2018 it seems like the economy and people everywhere have gotten shakier and less certain.
If one is getting a homestead in a rural area now, it’s good to get one that really does not need any work done, that you can tell. It’s good to get the names of contractors who already did work on it in recent years. We just don’t know what the progression of economic, financial and societal dysfunctions will be this year, next year, or the years ahead. I expect the current arrangements to keep degrading until they are just not the arrangements anymore. I can’t be more specific. History keeps rhyming on this.
The Great Depression and WW-2, the USSR break-up, and Chinese Cultural Revolution are all recent examples of this kind of degrading of an economic order until something new can be formed by the participants. That’s us. Start working or keep working. That’s all I can see.

RFK, Jr. Interviews Vandana Shiva: The Gates Empire ‘Will Own Everything’​ , Thanks Bill​ , transcript, too​…
​ This is my meditation for today. This is life wisdom.
“New Feudalism” is the aggressor. It will own all life. Life will die without chemical inputs. We are made weak, sick and dependent.
Vaccines-only for COVID, ignoring ivermectin and vitamin-D benefits, are the Gates/WHO gameplan to own our living bodies…
In an interview with CHD Chairman RFK, Jr., Vandana Shiva warns listeners that if we don’t fight back against Gates and his empire,
“They will own everything. You will own nothing … no commons, no public good, no shared values.”
​ ​Vandana Shiva discusses how Bill Gates, along with Big Ag, Big Chemical, Big Food, Big Tech and Big Pharma are destroying Earth’s ecosystem and with it, our health.
​ ​Shiva, who has a Ph.D. in quantum physics, is founder of Navdanya International, an organization dedicated to protecting seed and food sovereignty, and small farmers around the world.
​ ​Bobby, I wasn’t a leader. I was a student, and I was volunteering, and the leaders were the women and they were my professors. I always say, I went to University of Western Ontario for my Ph.D. to figure out quantum theory better, but I went to the Chipko University to figure out biodiversity. And Bobby, just the other day, the mafia has taken hold of David Attenborough to launch portfolio management on biodiversity, like portfolios on land ownership, as if value to biodiversity was not recognized by the Chipko women. I think that is the clash we are living through. The billionaires wanting to turn everything into their portfolio, and the ordinary people saying, “No, we want to protect our land.” Our farmers have been protesting now for six months for the land. That’s what they’re saying.​..​
​”We are fighting for the soul and soil of India.”​

RFK, Jr. Interviews Vandana Shiva: The Gates Empire ‘Will Own Everything’

​ ​A​ ​now-deleted fact sheet published by the U.S. State Department on January 15, 2021, claimed that for over a year, “the Chinese Communist ​ ​Party (CCP) has systematically prevented a transparent and thorough investigation of the COVID-19 pandemic’s origin.” The official release of that fact sheet focuses on the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV); a controversial research lab in the Hubei province of China which has been the target of well-earned suspicions over its work on bat-borne zoonotic diseases like SARS-CoV-2, better known as the COVID-19 coronavirus.
​ ​Missing from the State Department’s missive is the intimate bond that this particular laboratory has to American scientific institutions and to a tight-knit group of individuals with direct links to the U.S. intelligence apparatus and the biodefense establishment. National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci’s funding of gain-of-function (GoF) research in 2014 at the Chinese lab is just one example. The highly polarizing GoF studies, which entail turbo-charging a pathogen’s virulence through the “generation of viruses with properties that do not exist in nature” present considerable biosafety hazards, which led the Obama administration to issue a federal moratorium on GoF research. The study Fauci funded at the WIV in 2014 was done so in contravention to the moratorium then in effect.
​ ​Deeper and more disturbing ties to outfits like USAID-funded Ecohealth Alliance have been covered by independent journalists like Same Husseini and others, revealing the WIV’s close relationship to people like David R. Franz – former commander of Fort Detrick, the pre-eminent biowarfare and biodefense facility in the U.S. and the source of the anthrax spores used in the infamous 2001 anthrax attacks. In July 2020, this author carried out an investigation into the nexus between the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), USAID and zoonotic disease research in Asia.

The Disarticulation of Pandemic War Propaganda

​Gail Tverberg, Our Finite World, Where Energy Modeling Goes Wrong
Summary: The economy is approaching near-term collapse, not peak oil. The result is quite different.
​ ​The modeling that comes closest to being correct is that which underlies the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others. This modeling was based on physical quantities of resources, with no financial system whatsoever. The base model, shown here, indicates that limits would be reached a few years later than we actually seem to be reaching them. The dotted black line in Figure 1 indicates where I saw the world economy to be in January 2019, based on the limits we already seemed to be reaching at that time.​
(I think that line is ​drawn ​at 2010, myself.)

@Dr.D: Where does that involuntary population control by elites lead?
I think it is what they do when we start to outgrow our resources.
I think it is the use they provide to the gene pool.
I think we can be much better stewards than that. We know how.
How do we get there from here?
It’s a though problem that requires action, but you just have to keep working it until you start to make progress.
We’re working on it.

@Absolute Galore, from yesterday: Vitamin-D deficiency makes the immune system malfunction.
Enough vitamin-D helps the immune system be intelligent and discerning.
Thinking “too much” and “too little” is barking up the wrong tree.
An intelligent immune system is very likely to stop coronaviruses in the nose and throat area.
An angry, overwhelmed and desperate immune system busts loose with cytokine storm, which is too-much-too-late.

I remain highly suspicious that Hank Aaron died of immune thrombocytopenia causing “a massive stroke”, which would have been the smoking gun, if it was a bleed, not ischemia (dry),
Clammed-up. No information will be allowed out.
“Natural Causes” , is all we will get.
If it was a dry/ischemic stroke, they would have said so.
It would have excluded his death as a side effect.
