    Back in the 1970s I was at my company’s Norwegian distributor in Oslo

    The distributor guy I was with had his office phone solidly bolted to the wall. I asked him why his phone was attached to the wall while everybody else’s phone was on their desk.

    He replied because he got so frustrated with Norway’s government’s poorly run phone company. He would go into a viking rage and throw his phone against the wall, smashing it to pieces!

    I said yes but you can still throw the hand receiver part of the phone! Yes, he replied but it didn’t cost nearly as much to replace as the whole phone did!

    And this chap could charm the underwear off any women he met!

    I see that in Australia’s Northern territories the army are hauling away to internment camps anybody who tests positive for covid.

    Logical conclusion: Nobody will volunteer to get tested! Brilliant!

    Yes, the people running the Biden puppet show would very much like Russia to invade the Ukraine to divert the American people’s attention away from their current deliberate efforts to destabilize the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if the puppet master is willing to pay Russia to invade! Putin won’t bite.

    Putin will not invade the Ukraine simply because he does not want to add an economic basket case as a mill around Russia’s neck. He also doesn’t need more land because he has more than he can deal with as it is. Just like Canada.

    He is quite happy to let the US bleed to death supporting the Ukraine government.

    The picture of your house extension’s footings reminds me of when I was a teenager helping my Dad set up cement blocks to serve as the footings to the family cottage in 1970. We could use standard 2′ x 2′ cement patio pads with cement cinder blocks because the ground is pure sand which does not heave when the ground freezes during the winter, thus avoiding what you had to do.

    All my Father had in the way of tools to work0 with was a simple 2 foot wooden level, a long tape measure, and a ball of string, to set up the cottage’s footings. He got all of the footings perfectly level except for one which was 1/2″ low, which require a 1/2″ piece of plywood shim. Of course he was an engineer!

    Just for fun I did a climate comparison between Toronto and Milwaukee. In most things both are very similar but Milwaukee is about 2 plus degrees warmer and gets more rain and snow than Toronto.

    Toronto was often used by the natives to wait winter out as both north and south of Toronto get considerably more snow, so it was easier for them to get around.

    Interesting your connection to the state of New Mexico.

    Back in the late 1970s, I worked a couple of winters in New Mexico on the Navajo reservation while living in Gallup. New Mexico is of course the land of enchantment! However the state is solidly Democrat so there is a rather strong possibility they followed the CDC’s directive on classifying who is vaxxed and who isn’t vaxxed. This would skew the data Doc Robinson had to work with. I suspect it is still the vaxxed who are in the hospitals, just like everywhere else. I don’t think the vaccine and covid care what your politics are.

    I think it is pretty fair to say Google censors every search enquiry you submit about anything.

    I was recently searching for some thin clear UV plastic sheeting for a little temporary winter solarium I might build in my backyard, using leftover stuff I have lying around to keep the cost low.

    I literally spent hours trying to find something that will do the job. Goggle deliberately tries to steer you towards their best interests. One often has to change the description of what you are searching for to evade or circumvent Google efforts. Very frustrating!

    The one thing the vaccinated want most is the reassuring illusion provided by big government that they can go about their lives with little risk. By getting vaccinated they have invested in this false illusion and will agree to any measures that promote their illusions. They are willing to trade their freedom for the false sense of security provided by big government.

    It will take years to pick their false illusion of security.

    Regarding Vittoria. Since so much of the media news is fake, I wonder from whom did the no vaxxers learn? The media saying she wasn’t vaccinated could also be fake news too. Guess we will never know because an autopy will likely never be done or permitted.

    How is your winter supply of firewood coming?

    We pretty much used up our cord of wood by the time we abandoned the cottage on November 11th.

    I would guess you need at least 2 cords of wood per month times 7 months. Maybe more if it is all softwood.

    I have been looking up tapping of maple trees as a pleasant diversion from winter. I have one sugar maple in the back yard I am planning on tapping late winter.

    Sadly these days, “Sudden Death” is now the leading cause of death in the vaccinated young.

    Of course there is no link between “Sudden Death” and the vaccines.

    “Sudden Death” is strictly a fake media creation to divert your attention from reality.

    Enjoy your diversion.

    TAE Summary:

    Whenever I see such behavior, I know corruption is involved. It is in someone’s best financial interest to continue such destructive behavior. Likely your CEO does own the company so couldn’t care less if the company goes under as long as he profits handsomely.

    We see this behavior in action between the politicians and Pfizer. Pfizer is obviously kicking back large sums to the politicians. This vaccine behavior only exists in rich countries.

    Notice how we don’t see this behavior in countries too poor to enrich their politicians this way. An example is the poorest state in India verses the richest state in India.

    Germ:

    One of the four major flu viruses, Yamagata, has not been detected since April 2020, anywhere in the world. It is thought that covid-19 may have killed it. If the Yamagata virus has gone extinct, that may be part of the reason the flu seemed to have disappear in the winter of 2020/2021.

    I think we at the TAE are more aware of what to look for regarding long term health issues stemming from the vaccine.

    We have noticed the sudden increase in public “Sudden Death” announcements.

    We have noticed the not so rare cases of physically fit young athletes having heart attacks.

    People who previously beat cancer suddenly battling cancer again. An example is BC ‘s priemer.

    Unfortunately we know what is coming. We also know the powers-to-be will go to great lengths to defeat any and all vaccine “cause and effect” associations.

    Absolute Galore:

    I have been mulling over your question about your ex-wife wanting to vaccinate you son as soon as he turns 12.

    Boco brings up the good point that you are highly unlikely to convince your ex to not vaccinate through any use of logic or facts.

    I think somebody else brought up the issue of who gets stuck with the life long costs should anything go wrong. Obviously the drug companies and the government plan to stiff the parents!

    I think it might be here where you can exercise some leverage. If facts and logic fail, then try expressing concern for how you and your ex would deal with the costs, if God forbid, something were to go wrong and your son is injured or/and disabled for life. It is here that Dr. John Day’s suggestion of referring to that disabled girl in a wheelchair whom both Pfizer and the US gov have both said it is the parent’s problem. This then sets the stage for the need for long term disability insurance coverage.

    You could then say (knowing at this point that you can not stop your wife) OK, so before she gets your son vaccinated, both of you, or just her, need to investigate getting the necessary long term disability insurance first.

    I do not know what US long term disability insurance costs, and whether they exclude the vaccine (I suspect they do exclude it), and whether if they do, whether you can afford it.

    The whole point of this exercise is to try and avoid an ideological battle, which you will lose, and shift it to a more practical non-emotional issue. Of course she can quickly brush you off by saying no. You should be prepared for the fact that 100% she will likely do just that.

    Here is where the suggestion by a TAE member of asking her for a signed legal disclaimer, that she will take on all the future financial risks, should anything go wrong, kicks in.

    It is here where your ex may hesitate or pause. She is probably expecting that you will share in all the future costs of raising your son, even those where she makes the final (and possibly stupid) decisions.

    I would get your lawyer to prepare such a disclaimer so you have it ready just in case it goes that fa

    One thing I have learned in life, is in such critical situations, you need to 100% check your emotions and stay absolutely totally calm and rational throughout your discussions with your ex even if she gets emotional. If she does get emotional, realize it is a proven technique to draw you into also getting emotional also. Once there, she will surely beat you with experience. If you stay totally calm and rational throughout, you stand a much better chance of obtaining a better outcome for your son. Maybe not winning but not necessarily losing either.

    Good Luck Absolute Galore!

    P.S. Thanks to all those on TAE who earlier provided suggestions of what to do. All I have tried too do is string the suggestions together into some type of plan. The credits are all yours.

    This weird little known fact, from the Future Crunch, written by two Australians, might help explain the “apparent” disappearance of the flu during the winter of 2020/2021.

    One of the four major flu viruses, the Yamagata flu, has not been detected anywhere in the world, since April 2020. It is thought covid-19 may have killed it off. So has the Yamagata flu virus gone extinct?

    I said the French would look down on her rather unfavorably for doing this! I said it was probably OK to put chilled butter on a croissant, as I have done so while in Europe.

    This morning I looked out a window from my cave in Toronto to see that Old Man Winter has finally arrived! Yes, a fresh blanket of snow covers everything, hiding all the fallen leaves of fall. Summer is now but a distanced faded memory. Now there is only hopes of a new spring to get me through another long cold Canadian winter.

    Yes fall was kind to us this year. That is the only reason I was able to stay at the island cottage until November 11th. For many falls, mid-October is the limit for staying at the cottage.

    It seems despite COP efforts in Scotland that their global warming efforts have failed again forcing me to abandon my island cottage and head back home for the winter to big bad Toronto. I am sad that I have to leave the much simpler life, close to nature, for the lonely, cave like, life in the big city.

    Since Canada is such a cold place it would be nice if the global warming crowd could figure out a way to win. Sadly they keep letting me down every fall as Old Man Winter keeps returning as the hours of sunlight decline.

    I have named my new electric chainsaw “Greta” in honor of a certain “useful idiot” as Lenin would say. She is quite good at cutting renewable energy sources. She is however too small to cut down any of the big red oak trees, not that I have any intentions to ever do so.

    I did learn how to estimate the ages of red oak trees. We have about four big red oak trees. You measure the circumference of the tree 4-1/2 feet above ground dividing by pie (3.14) to get the diameter. Then you multiply the diameter by red oak tree factor 3.5 to get the estimated age. I measured three of the big red oaks, coming up with 143, 133, & 128 years old. These ages make sense as these trees were the likely few survivors of a big fire that occurred about 1900 on my end of the island. All the other trees are much younger, like 50 years or older, reflecting the 54 years that I have been on the island.
