An inconvenient COVID Truth

Media vulture



Saturday, May 16, 2020

It's Saturday. it rained last night after our first really seriously hot day of the season.  We've been taking walks in order to deal with the insanity of this lockdown.  But outside is as crazy as the inside is, people have come to really believe the end of the world is here.
This may be the biggest con game ever devised.
Even the so-called conservative Fox News has been running story trying to explain the difference between covid-19 and the common flu, giving us charts and graphs and other things to highlight how much worse this pandemic is from the other pandemics that we've had even though in some cases the total deaths are the same and in some cases the total deaths less in this.
 It is like comparing apples and oranges as they say and twisting the hell out of the orange to get the most juice.
Almost all of the pandemic deaths are in New York and New Jersey and those other areas of the country where Chinese immigrants returned from China after Chinese New Years earlier this year.
This Is an Inconvenient Truth for Democrats who are still trying to shape this thing into some sort of racist rant by the president when he calls in a China flu.
The governor of New York calls it a European flu which he should be ashamed since he's a descendant of Italian immigrants.
Italy got hit hard this year just like it did in 1970 partly because of the huge Chinese worker population it has dealing with its garment industry there.
But what it's called matters less than what it is, and the fact is it is a flu despite what these so-called experts try to Spin us with.
Defining it as something else allows Democratic Governors and this out-of-control media to justify the horrendous violations of civil liberties and the destruction of the US economy ahead of the November election.
 We have been primed for this however it delivered series of previous events that has led up to this Final Chapter.
 We've been trained to look to the sky for fear of the depleted ozone layer and to seas for the rising level of water that never seems to actually arrive.
There seems to be a strong correlation between this pandemic and the man-made climate movement -- another brilliant scam for redistributing wealth.  Thus, we have the house Speaker appointing Greta one of the most unqualified people to the House committee on the pandemic well leaving off seriously qualified people who happen to be Republicans.
This not only suggest that the pandemic is going to be another money grab the way man-made climate change was but also another kind of impeachment hearing to somehow blame the whole thing on the president.
 We have science reporters scrambling out of the National mattress like bed bugs printing stories ahead of time so that they will be Chief Witnesses in what will likely be the third or fourth impeachment.
 Meanwhile while we walk down the street and see people living in Terror, some with full body armor, some with gloves in which their hands are sweating from the heat some with masks pulled so tight they can barely breathe.
They are living in Terror of catching something that will not likely kill them in fact will likely kill them less than previous flus even though so-called experts keep trying to tell us how much more contagious it is.
And the government continuing to test everybody they can, not just be to generate more terror which they have already fully Embraced but to collect more so they can collect more in federal money when the government starts handing out the checks.
This pandemic is about money and a grab for power not health.
 But because people believe what they see and then accept media for shaping it so that it seems like the rest of the world is as bad as the place where we are, they believe and they're terrified.
You have to wonder what the numbers would really look like had the governors of these states try to protect the most vulnerable instead of locking down the whole population.
How many more of our grandparents and parents would still be alive if the governors hadn't sent them to death camplike nursing homes.
What would the numbers look like in other pandemics if the government had done the same kind of test for positive as they're doing for this since no one ever tested previous pandemics no one will ever know whether this is actually worse or not.
Some people have to believe leaders who are selling this who need to keep us afraid who appear to want to seize power and money, while people walk around us like zombies waiting for the Apocalypse.

If the NY Times says it, it must be true




Thursday, May 14, 2020

New York Times science reporter went off the rails this week. He tried to blame Donald Trump for Coronavirus during a TV interview, forcing Force the New York Times Two recant his statement saying they were his private views.
But in fact his reporting has always had a tinge to it, following the Democratic party line that many of us have been hearing for months.
The way to tell a great lie is to sprinkle it with truth, small items you can point to and say: “See I was right.”
His rant had just enough of the small nuggets to make it seem legitimate when it was not.
What he said reflected what Democrats have been saying all along that Trump had been warned by China as early as January 1st and had done nothing until declaring a state of emergency on March 9th.
This is the typical Democratic Distortion of fact which is why this science reporter’s stories going back now seems so suspicious.
He ignores the fact that the Chinese covered up a lot of what was going on until January and whether or not there were private conversations warning him the official statements coming out of China said differently.
Many of us knew even in January that Chinese New Year was spreading the virus worldwide because Chinese tend to go home for the years and then come back.
This is why San Francisco, New York, Washington State and Italy were hit harder than most other places. And it why so many people are disputing the governor of New York when he calls it a European virus since the virus hit hardest in Italy which has a huge Asian immigrant population supporting  garment industry there.
The other thing this wonderful New York Times science reporter ignored was the fact that Trump attempted to hold these trips from Asia to United States and that he was blocked by Democrats.
 Pelosi even encouraged people to visit Chinatown saying there was nothing to worry about while at the same time her colleagues including another senator from California we're secretly selling off their stocks because they perceived a crash due to the pandemic.
Trump apparently was forced into declaring a state of emergency when other options failed because he did not want the economy to crash while Democrats did.
Trump relied on questionable advice from the director of the CDC which became clear overtime was inconsistent and often wrong and its projections.
The New York Times Reporter rant came at a very suspicious time when people were starting to question the validity of the pandemic and its predictions  and the rant seemed to be a desperate attempt to protect the slanted stories the reporter had been writing all along.
Of course, the usual Believers in the pandemic and Democratic supporters are praising him as an expert who is covered and pandemics in the past.
And that is exactly the problem.
No reporter -- even a specialized one is an expert. We rely on sources and the longer we report on a particular subject the more we narrow these sources down to those who we have faith in, people we believe who know what they're talking about and we go back to them again and again and again for information.  So essentially these experts are the ones who shape the story and create the myth we come to believe.
Even when a reporter is unbiased -- which is rare--  we get slanted stories.  This is part of the problem with man-made climate change reporting in which reporters simply take the word of experts they have relied on over the years and never bother seeking out alternative facts that may be just as legitimate.
This has never been more true than with covid-19.
Part of the problem in this part of the country is that we're at the Epicenter of the disaster and so when we see her large body count we tend to believe the kind of crap this reporter was selling.
People believe what they see for themselves didn't have to rely on media to save what's going on elsewhere.
This unfortunately puts reporters in a unique position of playing God because people have faith in them and will be loyal to them and follow their lead even when it is a Pied Piper lead to some place a particular political group wants them to go to.
Media creates a stage and puts the actors on it, create situations that emphasize the kind of story they want people to believe. We shows video clips and photographs as examples of what we are to believe is happening in the wide world such as all the coffins in Italy or the Chinese government spraying down the street with sanitizer even when this does not reflect the wider reality. Because people see it on TV the internet, they tend to believe it reflects the whole picture.
Media becomes most people's eyes and ears on the world and if presented through a skewed lens people tend to believe lies.
 And since so many people believe this science reporter as an authentic unbiased source, they follow his lead even when it appears that it is supporting a particular political agenda.
 Specialized reporters like this are dangerous for a number of reasons and the longer they specialize in a particular kind of reporting the more dangerous they are.
People tend to see them as all-knowing when they are really just parrot repeating what they are told by particular scientist they have sought out.  Whether reporter is unbiased in most cases his sources are biased and the story becomes slanted.  Still more dangerous is the fact that reporters tend to believe in these scientists and ignore other information that might challenge what they say.
Many times, it is because the sources are official or prominent -- reporters love to get people with a lot of credentials to back their claims even when as time as shown this is a lot of bullshit.
Even when science reporters have secret reservations -- as this one did not -- they dare not challenge the expertise they use in their stories because they will need these same experts for future stories.
The longer a reporter works a specific beat the more likely his stories are going to be shaped by questionable characters who we cannot really check as authentic  and certainly can't get from this reporter both sides of complex issues only spin and manipulation.
Since local government is pumping up the number of dead and we get almost daily reports of friends and neighbors dying we assume that this translates to a national phenomenon when it doesn't.
Local and National media rely on this hysteria to support questionable stories and to support questionable facts.
 This is not to say that there isn't enough blame to go around Trump relied on the wrong people and perhaps put the wrong people in place not anticipating that this could happen  after all there have been pandemics that it killed tens of thousands of people every year for all of my life sometimes as many as a hundred thousand.
But in the past, nobody hijacked the pandemic for political purposes in an election year.
 Now as people start to question the facts that have been presented this New York Times Reporter apparently got desperate and tried to spin it without the usual staging and all he comes off is a petty liar.

“Trust me I know what’s good for you.”





Tuesday, May 12, 2020

In my town, we call our mayor “uncle” because his approach to politics is that of a well-meaning relative who wants to look after us.
We are not private citizens in this little family affair but children and he needs to make sure are safe.
So, in this regard we have a new kind of Big Brother, a benevolent big brother who does not thrive on turning up hate the way the 1984 version did but inspires us to love.
The problem is that the new Big Brother is just as dangerous as the old big brother and maybe worse.
We are lured into giving up our rights in the belief that if we do so we will be safe.
We accept any intrusion as good intrusion because it is for our own good.
We are lulled to sleep like little children who do not know any better and must have a parent who tells us bedtime stories  and protect us from the monsters that are under the bed or in the closet such as covid-19.
This new version of Big Brother which now seems to exist in almost every town and state house always knows more about what's good for us then we do, and so imposes on us an ideology that keep us needy.
This is a model after Obama's course who seemed so benevolent and kind on the surface, but underneath was as ruthless as any old school politician and maybe more so.
This is more of a Soviet-like dictator that the Nazi kind, the iron fist inside the velvet glove.
Obama once attacked a woman vice presidential candidate calling her lipstick on a pig. This was not only misogynic, but it was more a reflection of who he was rather than his target.
This is almost true of all of our new leadership that has become the new Obamas in miniature or the new kind of Big Brother hiding behind the curtain of kindness well they manipulate the mechanisms of power.
They of course treat us like children because that's how they want us to be, blindly following them the way children did the Pied Piper, doing what we are told, selling this ideology that we can save the planet from some unbearable catastrophe.
In some cases, we ride scooters and bicycles just like the Tiny Tots did in the 1950s or to bring cloth bags to save sea turtles and thus lower the carbon footprint.
Currently we are told we can save the world by sitting in a jail of our own homes and obeying whatever dictates big brother gives us.
We are Big Brother's children blindly obedient to rules that in the past has only led to human misery and outrageous violations of civil liberties and perhaps even worse.
We are like the bodies in The Matrix hooked into a machine powering up some unimaginable horror while we are deluded into thinking we are living Our Lives free.
The problem is: this big brother needs to keep creating pandemics so that you continue to need him.
And like all good Big Brothers what we're likely to hear is: “Trust me, I know what is best for you.”

New Jersey Love it or leave it.






May 10, 2020

 Murphy has reinvented that old slogan that Democrats used to hate to hear from Republicans.
 Only he substituted New Jersey for America when someone criticized him for his mishandling of the pandemic.
 It is very difficult to tell who the worst Governors are in the United States these days but the one defining factor is that they're all Democrats.
But since we live in New Jersey where Murphy is celebrating the 77% approval rating our choices are very simple: shut up and do what we're told or move out.
Murphy of course is just stupid enough not to have noticed people have been fleeing the state for more than a generation, partly because of policies like his that made it unaffordable I live here.
Senior citizens in the past only had to worry about starving to death under a fixed income but under Murphy we soon learned that it is even more deadly to have stayed in any of the nursing home he sent sick people to live in.
As in 1930 Europe people who remained behind soon learn the error of their ways.  At some point once you get stuck here you get to die here too, and you don't have the option of moving to another state.
Those who what are polled by Rutgers-Eagleton obviously didn’t reach anybody in a nursing home, or at least, did not get to them while they were still alive – talking instead to those hiding under the beds and least at-risk of dying. Had these poll takers talked to people at most risk, Murphy might have seen much poorer numbers.
Rutgers-Eagleton has a poor reputation, often employing broke political science students who either have no interest in getting the facts right or have a built-in bias they learned in the classroom.
These students call hundreds maybe thousands of households and will gather the opinion of anyone who they can manipulate into talking into them. Most people hang up on them or tell them to fuck off – giving you a good idea of the actual sampling these polls represent.
Only those already very motivated want to be bothered during dinner or are so scared to death by media body counts their opinion is often skewed by a desperate confidence Government doesn’t deserve.
People hear reports of their grandmothers and grandfathers dying and presume they are going to be next and so if they don't have confidence in Murphy then they are hopeless suicides.
Murphy’s mishandling of the pandemic may indeed drive more people out of the state than his abortion of a millionaire’s tax because so many people have been so damaged by the psychology of fear they will be afraid to live any city where they believe the virus might once again strike.
It is not clear how people can have confidence in a governor who in a panic destroyed their businesses and took away their jobs and helped turning nursing homes into graveyards he should have otherwise tried to protect.
But people should not be surprised since Murphy follows in the footsteps of other Wall Street executives who managed to totally screw up the state economy.
Murphy will soon get his wish and see a max exodus from New Jersey to states like Texas and Florida, following their jobs in the 21st Century version of a trail of tears.
The government’s overreaction to the pandemic has taught people to be strangely self-reliant even as they wallowed in terror of catching the bug. They learned they no longer need to live in the same cities where their jobs reside and can work remotely. They won’t have to pay for parking, tolls to go on highways or bridges, or pay exorbitant ticket prices for trains Murphy can’t get to run on time – or in some cases – at all.
The smarter people already can foresee the train wreck of Murphy’s economy.
Highways had not been producing tolls for revenue. Atlantic City casinos – which fund schools and programs for seniors – have been closed. Stores and services that might have generated sales tax have been forced closed at gun point, leaving the state only one solid source from which to raise revenue: a massive increase in income tax, and not just from millionaires.
Unemployment roles already bloated by bad government decisions will get worse at schools, local government and state government start laying people off to cut costs. Services that were piss poor before will become non-existent.
This is Murphy’s last legacy. I wonder how Murphy's poll numbers will seem then as people flee the state to get away from him and his money-grubbing machine.
Yeah New Jersey love it or leave it!

Do you know what a fascist is?




May 9, 2020

The most terrifying thing about Governor Murphy's statement yesterday what's the fact that he does not recognize when he is being a fascist.
In the good old days, fascist recognized when they were being fascist and bragged about it.
But this is the problem: we have a group of people who are out of control who are ruling Our Lives who are not only incompetent at being fascist
They don't even know they are being that.
Murphy appears to be just reading from the Democratic Think Tank script following line-by-line what every other good Democrat is saying and is being told to say.
This may be the reason why he won't comment on Joe Biden sexual allegations.
 Someone in some think tank somewhere has told all the Democrats Nationwide to keep their traps shut.
In the good old days when we had Obama who at least looked and sounded like a leader. Of course, that was because he was all image and no substance. Or perhaps the substance was made of a lot nastier and despicable than what he showed on top. He hid his fascism behind a wall and operated strictly through his secret police.
Most of the leaders we have now act out the part of being tough and decisive, but they really are acting like fascist mistaken abusive power for leadership.
Real leaders don't follow scripts written for them by a bunch of party hacks.
Perhaps deep down they really believe they are not fascists and like the old German of the good old days are simply following orders.
It's scary to think that this kind of ignorance was behind the move to send so many senior citizens to their deaths when forcing sick people into nursing homes.
 How New Jersey got those people to those places it's still a mystery since we don't have cattle cars this far east.
Of course, the label fascist fits in other ways to just ask people who actually went through the Holocaust and remember being lockdown in ghettos.
We seem to fit the fascist model that most Holocaust experts acknowledged as the pattern.
First, you strip people of their civil rights.
Secondly, you isolate them.
Then, thirdly you kill them.
 Fascist may indeed be the wrong term for the group of leaders we have inherited.  Perhaps they are indeed well-meaning puppets operating on some string some Puppet Master is pulling.
But until we can come up with a more contemporary term that fits these abuses of power fascism is going to have to serve us.
And hopefully when Murphy wakes up some morning and looks in the mirror, he recognizes that fact.
But puppets rarely recognize that they are puppets and keep on doing party bidding until some higher power and more aggressive action is taken to wake them up.
It took World War II to unseat the worst fascist of our lifetime which is why we still celebrate the victory in Europe.
The fascism that overwhelmed America in the 1950s and 60s took action in the street and that may come when Americans and citizens of this state wake up and realize just how they have been abused and for some petty Democratic plot to regain power.
Unfortunately, real people died real deaths in this, and real people lost their civil rights and then until our real leadership realizes they have been acting like tyrants we may find ourselves always at odds.
Perhaps rather than calling Murphy a tyrant or even fascist, let's just rename Murphy Pinocchio and watch his nose grow.

Putting lipstick on Obama





Friday, May 8, 2020

Democrats and other forces for Injustice had a bad day yesterday.
While this will hardly stop the Stampede that has been going on towards trying to destroy or derail the Trump train, it's certainly shed a lot of light on the kind of BS that has been spread and tore open the fabric behind the scenes of some activities of the Democratic machine.
Out in Texas the Supreme Court there decided that throwing a hairdresser in jail for opening her business under a lockdown was too much her release.
This is the beginning of restraint being put on Governors who have become obsessed with their own power.  A similar action was taken in the Midwest where some governor with some common sense decided maybe throwing people in jail for petty offenses was a little over-reach.
 You can't be throwing relatively innocent Knuckleheads in jail for the fear that they might spread coronavirus while letting hardened criminals out of jail because your fears that they might catch Coronavirus.
This double standard and twisted logic are a plague on the Democratic Party and made extremely obvious by the sexual allegations against Joe Biden.
In this power struggle the Democrats appear to be savaging their own candidate in order to replace him after he successfully did their bidding in getting rid of Sanders.
Now the Democrats are poised to select a candidate without bothering to obtain a popular vote
Exit stage left Biden enter stage right Hillary Clinton?
More locally was the unanimous ruling by the US Supreme Court vacating the conditions of the two people in Bridgegate.
This is a stunning local example of power politics in which the bridge in the closing of its Lanes became a tool for desperate Democrats to unseat an unpopular governor.
But considering what has transpired since, closing a few lanes on a bridge or a few state parks over the Fourth of July pales in comparison to Democratic governors bringing down the national economy, closing all the parks and making prisoners in their homes of the entire population.
Bridgegate is kind of model in miniature of what Democratic strategy has been undertaken to try to unseat President Trump.
And despite the partisan howl we are getting from the most ridiculous Democrats in Congress the biggest blow to them came when it became clear that the FBI allegedly under orders from former President Obama deliberately targeted Trump and his aides. The vacating of charges against Michael Flynn opened up the Pandora box showing at Obama appointed hitmen in the Justice Department who deliberately try to get Flynn to lie to them so that they could charge him and embarrass president Trump and feed the always biased mainstream media to whom these pathetic dirty cops leaked the misinformation.
 Despite Democratic protest otherwise, this showed just how the Democrats have been operating behind the scenes in particular former President Obama who had a love affair with Intel and who was perfectly willing to use the justice department to Target his political enemies.
Obama played the role America's father, a benevolent soul who painted himself as the someone who ached to help everybody, eloquent to a fault but behind the scenes he was a ruthless bastard.
Talk about lipstick on a pig.

Getting fooled again and again and again




Thursday, May 7, 2020

 There is an old sitcom gag that asks: “what do you feed a fly?”  The answer of course is: “if you pull off its wings you can feed it anything you want.”
This is sort of how I feel about the current poll numbers and local politicians.
 If you scare the hell out of people and convince them that if they step out there with their doors without a mask, they're going to die then you can get them to do anything even love you.
This is particularly true if you pump up the perceived threat by constant testing and distorting the number of deaths by paying doctors more to list the deaths as if from COVID-19 – not to mention that more than half the deaths are in nursing homes which government not only abandoned, but actually sent sick people to live in (while letting people out of jail to avoid having people get sick.) In New York, the governor actually refused to send medical safety equipment to nursing homes only to later find bodies piling up inside.)
Americans seem to have watched too many episodes of The Matrix or worse Lord of the Rings so that our lives now have turned into one big science fiction movie.
For me however it seems to have become a mixture of two books Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.
Radical movements of course which I seem to be part of these days have always been a super minority when they start because like a dinosaur public opinion takes a lot of convincing.   You have to keep beating on the tail for the message to eventually reach that Walnut that Society calls its brain and you have to be very wary that you don't get swatted by the tail that you are beating on.
Fear that terror is much more of an incentive than intelligence is.  And so, you will have most people doing exactly what they're told putting on the appropriate masks, hiding in their basements as if they are digging new bomb shelters for an attack that will never come.
This is a pandemic of the old while young cower in dread.
Of course it's easier just to comply to not think about it and to let these people with high poll numbers get away with murder never once blaming them forth the body count that they have caused in various nursing homes by abandoning the people there.
 These poll numbers do not reflect the future and the misery that this leadership has caused destroying people's lives and livelihoods causing beatings in the home and misery when they can no longer find work or have watch their businesses go up in smoke.
We have been sold this bill of goods that somehow by complying with these regulations we have flattened the curb when all we have done is given more power to people who are insatiably hungry for power.
These leaders had pulled our wings off and are feeding of bullshit and we celebrate them has heroes because we are the dinosaur and no matter how much someone beats on our tail the message never reaches our puny little brains.
At least not until it's too late and then whatever civil liberties we thought we had we no longer have.
Someday maybe if we have new leadership that is wise enough to look into how mishandled this pandemic was maybe we'll get the truth, but I doubt it.
The public dinosaur will just stumble onto some new disaster that will allow some new group of charlatans to manipulate us, this massive dinosaur tail swatting way dissenters and the Knuckleheads who are raising alarm.
You can't argue with brain dead people were convinced that the people who are manipulating them are actually saving their lives.
These people are going to live in denial because they won't want to be assumed that they were so stupid that they believed anything they got sold.
This is the reason why revolutions don't work in America because people can be fooled again and again and again.
