The undergraduates I met tonight were clear sighted and brilliant and astonishingly well read. There’s so much on their shoulders. Here was my message to them. a.image2.image-link.image2-681-648 { display: inline; padding-bottom: 105%; padding-bottom: min(105%, 680.4px); width: 100%; height: 0; } a.image2.image-link.image2-681-648 img { max-width: 648px; max-height: 680.4px; } The question I get most...

The Indian Bar Association (IBA) sued WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan on May 25, accusing her in a 71-point brief of causing the deaths of Indian citizens by misleading them about Ivermectin. Point 56 states, “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.”If a trial in India finds WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan guilty then the WHO...

In a recent episode of her podcast, Iona Italia expressed frustration about bad arguments against freedom of speech that she’s had to combat over and over again. I am therefore submitting something that is less of an article and more of a listicle: responses to some of the most common arguments against freedom of speech, and, where possible, suggestions for additional reading.Assertion: Free speech was created under the false notion that words and violence are distinct, but we now know that certain speech is more akin to violence.Answer: Speech equals violence isn’t a new idea. It’s a very old—and very...

The speech I think Trump could have given, 2 days after the election. On election night, the vote counting was stopped in several battleground states, the poll watchers were sent home, and then was secretly resumed to replace tens of thousands of valid ballots with fraudulent ballots for Joe Biden. Hundreds of low-paid workers were brought in in the middle of the night to perform the tasks required for this fraud. I am speaking now to those people who were hired to perform these illegal actions, and offering them a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come clean and redeem their honor. For...

Many people have been claiming that the Capitol 'riot' was the DNC's version of the Reichstag fire. I fear that it was only a trial run. If there is anything the last four years have shown us, is that the leftists really want to punish all Trump supporters in every way possible. They want to strip away our rights to free speech. They want to take our jobs away. They want to take our children away. They want to put us in camps. They want to destroy us completely. I am worried that there will be a false-flag assassination of...

Now that the EC has voted, what happens if Biden or both Biden and Harris die before Pence meets with Congress to count the votes? Wouldn't the all the votes for Biden be invalid, and the election would go to the House of Rep., and the candidates limited to the top 3 voted candidates from the general election? Am I wrong about this?

I've been thinking about the repair of the laptop, and some of the details didn't seem to make that much sense. Then a couple of discrete facts fell into place, and I came up with a theory. The facts were: 1 - The repair guy could not ID Hunter as the guy who brought the laptop in. 2 - The laptop was water damaged. So here is my theory. One or more of Hunter's partners-in-crime saw Hunter watching some of his illegal videos on the laptop, and suggested that the laptop contained too much incriminating crap on it and considering...

Anybody read the classic 2008 John Ringo novel "The Last Centurion" ? With the exception of predicting a first-term President Hillary, it seems to be quite interesting in how close he came in the events of the 2019-2020 timeframe. Chinese superflu spreads in a global pandemic? Yup. Sunspot minumum causes global climate shift (cooler)? Yup. Parts of cities in the USA declaring themselves as 'autonomous zones' ? You betcha! He thought it would be in Detroit instead of Seattle, but other than that, he was very accurate. Here's a little quote: Somehow Kuwazi Jones, aka half a dozen names ending...

I believe the evidence suggests that COVID-19 was a very early stage in the development of a chilling new bioweapon known as a targeted pathogen. The concept is to genetically modify a highly-contagious virus so that it is largely asymptomatic for 99.999% of the population, but is highly lethal to individuals that match the specifically encoded genetic target map. As long as you are able to obtain a genetic sample of your target, you can launch an attack against him by releasing a tiny sample of the virus into an urban population anywhere in the world, and within a few...

On July 13, 2003 the television show "The Dead Zone" season 2 episode 14, "Plague" aired. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0556179/ In that episode a Chinese stewardess smuggling drugs brings over a viral pneumonia caused by a Cantonese AB6 retro virus starting a epidemic in America which starts killing thousands like it did in China. Johnny Smith, using his ability to see glimpses of the future from things he touches, infects himself with the virus to find out how it is eventually cured. He sees the doctors talking at his own autopsy: Man: Look at how it spread through all the major organs. Not...

Princeton, New York - May 2016 I interviewed theoretical physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson (1923), as part of the documentary "The Uncertainty Has Settled". Below a selection of the almost 3 hours conversation I had with Freeman Dyson.   - Obviously we are living in an era where we are pushing major changes in terms of fighting global warming and reducing carbon dioxide. Are we saving the world or missing the point? I would say missing the point. I mean, roughly speaking there are two totally different things going on in the natural world. It’s the carbon dioxide in the climate that everybody talks about and there...

US Ebola Death: Antivirals Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/08/2014 - 13:19 The first U.S. Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, has died despite being administered the experimental nucleoside-type antiviral pro-drug Brincidofovir.  How is this possible?  Well , the first problem is that Duncan was not treated until it was far too late for antiviral therapy to work.  Let's take this opportunity to look at some nucleoside antivirals, incuding the drug that was administered to Mr. Duncan in Dallas, TX (Brincidofovir).The first thing to know is remember Brincidofovir and Cidofovir were developed to work against dsDNA Viruses, though Ebola is a...

The County has quietly settled a wrongful death suit stemming from one of Kern's most controversial officer-involved shootings. Los Angeles Attorney Gerson Horn said the county will pay $1.8 million to the family of David "Deacon" Turner, the former professional football player shot to death by sheriff's deputies in July 2011. ... In March, there was a hung jury in the wrongful death civil lawsuit.

How the Rats Stole the Election and how to fix it. The clues: Looking at the results from the election, it seems very suspicious that there was so little Republican turnout, even though anecdotal evidence shows that both enthusiasm and turnout was much higher this time. The Theory: I believe that the democrats managed to electronically drop a percentage (maybe 20%) of the votes in the republican majority precincts of the swing states. In order not to be too obvious, they dropped democrat votes as well as republican votes. This enabled them to get those absurd D+8 and D+13 numbers...

October 2012 Message from DanWhy I Voted For Barack Obama in 2008:Dear Readers, Friends, and other Visitors:Yes, this is that most dreaded of things this time in an election year – yet another political comment. We’re all tired of them – especially when they come from some actor or “celebrity” or otherwise totally uninformed and irrelevant person. I don’t even rise to the level of “minor celebrity” – outside of my moderate band of readers I’m unknown – and I have no pretense to relevance this election year. The only thing that might entitle me to a political opinion...

Everybody here, myself included, is desperate that Romney not be the Republican candidate for president. I suggest that the most cost-effective way of accomplishing that would be to bring Natural Born Citizen ballot eligibility suits against him in a few states, and try to get a few rulings in our favor before the RNC convention. I have read that there is no evidence that Romney's father was naturalized before Romney's birth. If he is found to be ineligible anywhere before the convention, his delegates won't matter. Worst case there would be a brokered convention. Why isn't anyone trying this? Lack...

Just a few blocks away from the Capitol building is an unassuming, dingy flophouse – once owned by one William Peterson – which is directly across the street from Ford’s Theater, and it was to this tiny aprtment that President Lincoln was carried on that awful night back in 1865. I had read about this small, shabby little place for decades, and seen many deathbed illustrations of the place, but nothing can prepare you for how small, how appallingly, claustrophobically tiny, and dingy and cheap this little room actually is. There on this very spot, the sixteenth president underwent what a...

CARGO CULT SCIENCE by Richard Feynman Adapted from the Caltech commencement address given in 1974. During the Middle Ages there were all kinds of crazy ideas, such as that a piece of rhinoceros horn would increase potency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas--which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it. This method became organized, of course, into science. And it developed very well, so that we are now in the scientific age. It is such a scientific age, in fact that we have difficulty in understanding how...

... Under US regulations, a citizen who fails to report by the end of September 2009 any account worth more than $10,000 held in a non-US bank, a savings program or a fund, will be liable for a fine of $10,000 for each offence, even without criminal intent. ...

My brother and I have been having an argument. Between the time that the McCain lost the election, and the day that Zero was sworn in, I have been very angry with Bush for betraying his stated principles in the War on Terror by ignoring Iran. I assert that simply by giving the proper order, Bush could have terminated the ruling mullahocracy and set Iran's nuke program back at least eight years in a high-intensity aerial campaign lasting about two weeks. The only explanation I can come up with for his failure to act is moral cowardice. My brother, on...
