Fausti in the USA, Ferguswrong in the UK and Drosten in Germany. What do they have in common? They have not called any of the infectious disease outbreaks correctly in 2 decades. There have been 5 and they are ALWAYS WRONG and not just a little. They are over an order of magnitude wrong and always on the high side.
Good examples are Ferguswrong saying Sweden would have 90,000 excess deaths and Belarus 70,000 if they didn't lock down. Survey says ... Sweden was 7,000 and Belarus was 2,000 in 2020.
Fauci was right when he first said "Masks aren't that useful". Also he used to say not getting airway infections is achieved my living healthy and stuff. Jimmy Dore had a clip on that somewhat recently. Titled something like "Fauci used to talk like..." and then a name of of our favorite misinformation 12 guys, can't remember exactly.
Somehow, he changed his mind, but since people have a memory of half a days, it went unnoticed by most ^^
Initially, he was simply reporting what scientist have known for years about masks. Then he got the memo about messaging and flipped as it then became about obedience training for totalitarianism.
"All States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society. Since its rule is exploitative and parasitic, the State must purchase the alliance of a group of Court Intellectuals, whose task is to bamboozle the public into accepting and celebrating the rule of its particular State. The Court Intellectuals have their work cut out for them. In exchange for their continuing work of apologetics and bamboozlement, the Court Intellectuals win their place as junior partners in the power, prestige, and loot extracted by the State apparatus from the deluded public. The noble task of Revisionism is to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals, and to present to the public the true history of the motivation, the nature, and the consequences of State activity. By working past the fog of State deception to penetrate to the truth, to the reality behind the false appearances, the Revisionist works to delegitimize, to desanctify, the State in the eyes of the previously deceived public."
I have a very good friend (best man at my first wedding) who is a media relations person for the CDC. Our university won the American football national championship, so we've spoken about football and basketball (our uni sucks and is about to fire our head coach for basketball), but I can't talk to him. He is very Christian and conservative, but I've lost two jobs in this 'pandemic' based on the crap the CDC puts out as "fact". I can't talk to him about anything but the most superficial stuff because I think CDC employees should be flooding the unemployment lines, but why aren't they? Drives me nuts.
I applaud you for not doing to him what the CDC has advocated for doing to you. They have been a source of shaming and ostracizing using lies for two years.
I would have a hard time not taking him out for a cocktail, letting him have it, and not seeing him ever again. You could even blame him for your first marriage.
But I do things like that. I'm very Irish and I, personally, am mad at your "friend".
I am patient. I try to give benefit of the doubt and if it continues, I unload.
I think the useless eaters is what the Eugenists (like Gates) call people who do not make any money but live on what they think is the state but infact is the retirement funds for which these people worked all their lives. Dad came up with that sentence and later on I heard Gates say it too
Not just locked down. They are finally getting their first proper Covid wave. Their zero covid ambitions were, from the standpoint of ordinary people, a complete waste. Perhaps not from the standpoint of YGL though.
But she just announced the relaxing of restrictions (in a few weeks). She says it isn't because of all the protesters camping on her lawn. Now we know why.
There is a woman I know who insists that calling January 6th protestors "political prisoners" is "an insult to actual political prisoners." Her reasoning is that the January 6th protestors "actually committed crimes".
I'll ask her, "Nelson Mandela also actually committed actual crimes. So why didn't he deserve to stay in jail indefinitely?"
She cannot answer and keeps saying - in a different way every time - that the difference is that she agreed with Nelson Mandela's cause but she doesn't agree with the January 6 cause.
She absolutely cannot - she refuses to - admit that the analogies are exactly the same. She doesn't like me pointing out that the real reason is that she's a rich white liberal lady who cannot be seen to be sympathetic with evil Deplorable Trump supporters.
i have been increasingly coming to the conclusion that most of "progressive" ideology is just the manifestation of being unable to rotate shapes in one's head.
Same here. My sis tried an intervention bleating how appalled she was that I was “turning into a trumper or Republican.” I actually don’t belong to either of those toxic tribal cults anymore. Dem or Repug.
Yes but it’s people like your Sister, that have to pigeonhole those of us who are former Democrats, & did not vote for Trump, because we have come to know the Truth and it doesn’t fit into their misguided liberal views. So they can only automatically put us in those two categories of either a Republican or a Trump supporter! (Of which I am neither Dem or Repug). And it shows how narrow (and stupid) they are in their thinking. But they will never see it!
Same here. Used to vote Dem but now see they are just the same as the Reps. In fact I think the party that is not in the government is usually the most believable. But in case of covid only one person is believable and that is sen. Johnson, who called on scientists and vaccine damaged people to testify. Of course totally neglected by the regular press, but I think lots of people saw it, or part of it. Even totally blinded people told me they saw the 12 year old girl. But I still have a 'scientist' former friend, who believes the wet market story. Just saying how blind can you be?
Oh those rich white liberal ladies who live in the rarified world of privilege and $$$. They cannot believe there is a world out there beyond the one on which they Inhabit, that does not subscribe to or even agree with what they believe. Their feeling of intellectual superiority and out right snobbishness is disgusting.
They are the most clueless of them all as well as their husbands or significant others!
I think it's similar to the biblical passage about "how hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God". Rich people have no reason to look at what's going on, or to care even if they notice a problem. Why go looking for solutions to something that don't affect you (yet)?
I wonder what people like this will say to justify their current opinions on "protesting" and "mandatory whatever", when (eventually) these same despicable tactics used on Jan 6 and Canadians are used on them when (eventually) the state implements something they vehemently disagree with? I've been shocked that those supporting such incredible tyranny really think that "it's just for their enemies". If we don't put a stop to all of this there are going to be some rude awakenings down the road. I have always supported *peaceful* protests regardless of whether I agreed with the issue or not.
Only that he was "fighting apartheid" and RACISM IS BAD, MMKAY?
She says that "the peaceful transfer of power is a sacred thing in our democracy" [ie Jan 6] and rioting and trespassing in the name of "overturning the vote" is an egregious violation that deserves worse punishment than "normal trespassing and rioting."
I point out that Mandela was promoting the violent overthrow of the South African government and one could just as easily make the argument that the societal tranquility brought about through apartheid was also a "sacred thing". Her response is not to grasp the analogy, but to literally say, "How can you say that? South Africa was an evil place!"
It does not occur to her that both instances are people being jailed for having the wrong political opinions.
If you bring up the people being let out of jail during the BLM riots she says that what they did was not as bad as interfering with the benevolent US government and if you bring up Mandela his crimes were justified because South Africa was so bad.
She literally will not admit anything that shows any kind of sympathy or agreement with "Trump supporters"... and don't even think about point out the irony of Trump not having any political prisoners of his own despite the belief in how bad he was.
Then there was Obama -- peace prize basically for getting elected -- a chicken shop down South offered a 'free Nobel Prize with every bucket of chicken!'
During his reign, he murdered thousands of innocent women and children all over the MENA. [1]
Along with his pet harpy Hillary, they destroyed the nation of Libya, then the wealthiest in Africa, directly resulting in the resumption of the slave trade. [2]
They created a civil war in Syria that to date has resulted in a breathtaking 13.5 MILLION refugees and displaced persons, more than half the population. It is a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportions. [3]
In a civilized society, this man would be living in a dungeon or swinging at the end of a rope. Instead he is worshiped, cult-like, by a large proportion of the American electorate.
Just an utter disgrace.
"Turns out I'm really good at killing people... Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine".
The vast majority of professors are definitely useless. But let us not project the fault of what is happening on professors and other idiots, such as politicians and government bureaucrats. This prevents us from solving anything.
The people responsible for arresting, killing, and continued killing are the voters who put these people in charge. Unfortunately, I bet that you have at least one "friend" that supports this tyranny. I know I have. I would even guess that some of your relatives also support this massacre. Again, true in my case.
The *voters* are the real enemy. The *voters* are the ones who stole two years of your lives. And they want to steal even more. They declared war on everyone else, really.
Naturally, the only solution is sedition, hopefully without further violence.

I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils, which means that I don't vote.
By voting, one implicitly consents to the outcome, and I won't participate in a political system that elevates vermin such as FDR, LBJ, Nixon, Bush I & II, Clintons, Trump, Biden, etc. to the throne.
I will have to follow your example. Until a decent person is found, how can we trust the criminals that are posed before us as candidates for presidency? We can write someone in but no chance in heaven they will be elected.
At this point, with precious few exceptions, I consider actually wanting to be elected to office disqualifying to hold it.
I have only voted twice in the last two decades: in 2008 for Ron Paul and in 2012 to write him in.
That said, the LP Mises Caucus (https://lpmisescaucus.com/) is on the verge of making the Libertarian Party actually libertarian, and I am seriously reconsidering political involvement.
I have children, and would really, really like to defeat the bastards peacefully.
Tho I do agree with you that "voting for someone to make laws to tell me what I can and can't do" is utterly insane and only serves to make people "feel" like they are doing something "good"... There hasn't been an honest "election" in most places for decades. If not longer. Personally, I don't need a politician to manage my life and stopped voting to be ruled long ago, but for those who feel like they do need a "great leader" that they "choose" the election should be fair and verifiable. It's a simple, yet complicated subject for sure.
I completely agree that voting is absolutely useless. Deciding things "democratically" is useless, even if the votes are counted fairly. The government should only exist to protect individual rights. Nothing else should be left at the mercy of whatever the mob wants as we see right now.
But it is also true that, if you ask people, you will probably find many of these wannabe dictators among your friends. Just ask around who supports what.
My point is that the only real solution is to "divorce" the voters/supporters of these policies. You cannot negotiate with these psychopaths. If we change the politician in charge but these people are still the majority, the new politician will continue with the exact same atrocities. And we vilify the politician again, and they are changed again one day, and the new one democratically steals a few more years of our lives again, ad infinitum.
Sincere question - my kids are approaching end of HS ... what resources, options, ideas, plans do you (or anyone) have in order to guide them into adulthood in order to stand on their own two feet and make their way in the world. I STRONGLY want for my kids to not go to the sheeple populated, ossified indoctrination centers ... I equally as STRONGLY want for them to grow, be educated and have fun, social, "normal" life experiences ... I am struggling with the process (thought and deed) of plotting out possible paths for them to take in the years ahead. Things like UATX have sparked some interest in me but seem years off ... what is out there for those of us looking to venture off the reservation but still function in the foreign world of Normieville !?!?
I guess it depends on what they want to do. I worked a blue collar job that I loved for 30 years. Didn't go to college for it and made an insane amount of money. Unless a person is going to be a Doctor, Lawyer or another specialized field, college isn't really necessary. Just my opinion tho. Some would argue with me for sure. Good luck.
There's a company that fits high school graduates with apprenticeships called Praxis. You can find information about it here: https://discoverpraxis.com/ I learned about it from a podcast by the historian/Libertarian Tom Woods.
Mike Rowe Works Foundation gives scholarships to students to connect them with trades like construction, plumbing, electrician. He's giving out $1 million in scholarships tomorrow. Much of the business of even things like Medical Pathology (a real doctor reading slides, determining cellular pathology, determining a medical diagnosis) will be done by AI, so I wouldn't spend much time pursuing a career in anything that will be replaced by robots in the near future.
The best idea I’ve heard is to take the money you would have spent on college and give it your kids to start a business. They will learn much more and be much farther ahead.
I'm a strong believer in a "gap" year between the end of high school and before going to college. A gap year spent working and finding out what real work entails. Spending 12 straight years in school merging into 4+ more years of college education without a reality break is not necessarily a good thing.
This is very difficult. My son is 12 and I face the same issues. World views tend to be all-encompassing, and in-groups and out-groups have little gray space left for those 'partially in' or 'partially out'. I live in a progressive town in Oregon. I want my son to fit in, but I want him to love freedom and what America stands for. It is difficult to socialize well and still remain clear headed, rational, and of good character. I am considering universities in more Red states...
At one time these tweets would have been okay, because critical thinking was also taught, and this stuff would have been laughed at and gotten more absurd just for fun. Now it seems schools are teaching the antithesis, that is for people to be so fragile they cannot even listen to opposing views.
Could these professors and our schools be responsible for the fact that we have way too many people who look at the world in the lazy-brained binary way-- evil or good; black or white; with no shades of gray. This, along with the desire to be spoon fed info at to who the totally wrong ones are, cannot bode well for us.
I’ve only received ONE of your updates today…and usually you (& others I follow) seem to be more prolific daily posters. Makes me wonder if something’s going on. Anyone else?
Neil Ferguson's a professor, and he's killed millions and counting.
Has he, Fauci or any of these other clowns ever really been right about anything?
We have now reached the stage where whatever meritocracy we once had has been almost completely converted into an idiocracy.
Just another election cycle or two, and we will be here:

Oh yes, I called that out in my chronicle of his flip-flops in my “Dr. Mengelfauci” article (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dr-mengelfauci-pinocchio-puppeteer) last summer.
Initially, he was simply reporting what scientist have known for years about masks. Then he got the memo about messaging and flipped as it then became about obedience training for totalitarianism.

Covid wave or vax injury?
Since the vax doesn't really prevent Covid infection anyway, there is no reason it can't be both.

Unless a person is going to be a Doctor, Lawyer or another specialized field, college isn't really necessary. Just my opinion tho. Some would argue with me for sure. Good luck.
Hillsdale College
There's a company that fits high school graduates with apprenticeships called Praxis. You can find information about it here: https://discoverpraxis.com/ I learned about it from a podcast by the historian/Libertarian Tom Woods.
Mike Rowe Works Foundation gives scholarships to students to connect them with trades like construction, plumbing, electrician. He's giving out $1 million in scholarships tomorrow. Much of the business of even things like Medical Pathology (a real doctor reading slides, determining cellular pathology, determining a medical diagnosis) will be done by AI, so I wouldn't spend much time pursuing a career in anything that will be replaced by robots in the near future.
The best idea I’ve heard is to take the money you would have spent on college and give it your kids to start a business. They will learn much more and be much farther ahead.
Hillsdale College, classic liberal education, focused on the canon of western civilization
I'm a strong believer in a "gap" year between the end of high school and before going to college. A gap year spent working and finding out what real work entails. Spending 12 straight years in school merging into 4+ more years of college education without a reality break is not necessarily a good thing.
Excellent point. I took a year off after high school. It was a good thing.
there are several very good colleges, most of them private.
My daughter did two years at Messiah College in PA. Very good college
Also Grove City. There are a few sources online. The private colleges are not beholden to the US Government.
The ones that aren't, aren't because they don't take government money. Only a few qualify.
Harvard, Stanford, MIT, etc... private, but totally on board with the tyranny.
This is very difficult. My son is 12 and I face the same issues. World views tend to be all-encompassing, and in-groups and out-groups have little gray space left for those 'partially in' or 'partially out'. I live in a progressive town in Oregon. I want my son to fit in, but I want him to love freedom and what America stands for. It is difficult to socialize well and still remain clear headed, rational, and of good character. I am considering universities in more Red states...
At one time these tweets would have been okay, because critical thinking was also taught, and this stuff would have been laughed at and gotten more absurd just for fun. Now it seems schools are teaching the antithesis, that is for people to be so fragile they cannot even listen to opposing views.
Both of them, to jail

Could these professors and our schools be responsible for the fact that we have way too many people who look at the world in the lazy-brained binary way-- evil or good; black or white; with no shades of gray. This, along with the desire to be spoon fed info at to who the totally wrong ones are, cannot bode well for us.
Keep us updated. I will vote for you and them if possible
I’ve only received ONE of your updates today…and usually you (& others I follow) seem to be more prolific daily posters. Makes me wonder if something’s going on. Anyone else?
The old “Whose Madder” game with these scientists. They all win, they’re all monsters.
Scary!
How about professor Ralph baric, what's his body count?
Professor here! (or just instructor, tbh...) I'm pretty sure I never killed anyone but I did have a Chesapeake Bay retriever named George Michael.
Pikers. Woodrow Wilson was the president of Princeton.
