A big part of the problem is the delay before autopsy. In larger cities, along with the Fentanyl mortality and gang homicides, it might take months to get a conclusion.

Further muddying the water is that vaxx related mortality might come from a dozen different “proximate causes”. And then it might be an original cause, or lethal aggravation of a pre-existing condition.

I’m not saying the problem is insurmountable, only that it is going to be very difficult to figure it out.

good to know

I wonder if, for vax related blood clots, if they would start a patient off with Lovenox (Enoxaparin sodium), an anticoagulent blood thinner, before putting them on a regimen of Coumadin (Warfarin), a blood thinner.

That is, because the formation of vax blood clots seems to be very unnatural, would these standard treatments work?

Instead he might propose Musk hire a bunch of mercenary wartime photographers to video all sorts of things in Ukraine, with minimal commentary.

Oddly enough, for once the media could be instrumental in changing this, especially “honor killings”. By doing what they do best: dragging people through the mud.

That is, portray the victims as righteous saints, and anyone and everyone involved in their persecution and murder as evil, who brought shame to their family, and should be excluded from their faith and rejected by their peers.

A common trick in “disinformation” is to add an obviously false narrative to a true one, which is then used to throw out both. For example, adding Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster to the subject of UFOs.

In this case, Lunar phase has nothing to do with the argument, so it is the false narrative. Solar activity is the sole driver of climate change outside of things like massive volcanic eruptions, large meteor hits, etc.

Humans produce only a small fraction of the trace gases in our atmosphere. And “trace” means that they are already a fraction. So it is a fraction of a fraction.

Early on, the MMGW proponent assumed that the gigantic systems within the atmosphere were precariously balanced, so that the tiny contribution of man could upset the balance, *from which* the system would spiral out of control.

Proposing about a dozen of these precariously balanced systems, NONE of them proved to be precariously balanced, instead being remarkably stable and self correcting.

Properly speaking, MMGW advocates have the (Biblical) “Nimrod Syndrome”. They think that if they build a tower that reaches unto heaven, they can ascend it and “be like God”, something they truly crave.

But individually or collectively, mankind comes nowhere close to pushing the climate around, no matter how inflated their individual and collective egos.

Articles of this sort often omit whether the student was male or female.

There is a more advanced version of the highly complex study of Artificial Intelligence, called “Artificial Stupidity”.

Only the genius-class researchers deal in AS, which is a study of ‘how intelligence fails.’ Basically, for every single simple, correct answer to a problem, there are a vast number of wrong answers derived from wrong axioms, means and algorithms.

Even in elementary school, some children are equipped to find “wrong” answers that maybe aren’t wrong, just different from the anticipated “right” answers. Exceptions to the rule. Plausible but incorrect to the anticipated answers.

You can imagine how much AS can throw a lug wrench into Artificial Intelligence.

Imagine a 5’8” giant pink prune.

A little background on the Andrew Jackson deportation.

Way back when there was a three way split. The northern tribes and the southern tribes had at some point had a vicious war, so great and murderous that what is now Kentucky, the N-S and E-W crossroads of the eastern US, was declared by them to be a “neutral zone”. No settlements or camping was permitted in the entire state.

The east coast was occupied by the Europeans, and they could make no inroads into either the north or the south. But because the east coast was full, when a large number of new immigrants, Scots Borderers, arrived, they were told to settle in Kentucky, and fortify the place. If they could keep it, it was theirs.

The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a brutal bloodbath to the northern tribes, followed by Pontiac’s Rebellion (1763), decimated or more the northern tribes.

The southern tribes were pretty much still whole, and by the time of Andrew Jackson, he realized that unless he intervened, the pressure of new settlement in the south would result in a bloody or genocidal war.

His alternative was the Trail of Tears. He attached the US Army for the deportation, both to insure the Indians left and to protect them from harassment by settlers. And while they complain bitterly about it, the army sent with them suffered as much from cold, disease and starvation.

But it saved most of their lives and kept their tribal unity and culture intact.

Combined assembly and senate is 120. 10% of 120 is 12.

So they have 12 individuals who are defective units.

Whoop-de-doo.

A railroad strike is when it gets real. The last strike was in 1992, and lasted only two days before congress intervened.

Estimated losses today would be a minimum of $2b/day.

A thick forest with artillery and mortar rounds landing in the treetops, blowing lethal splinters down. And the mountains itself was covered with thin plates of slick oily shale that would not give traction. Daily gains could be measured in inches. Meanwhile, at the top, the Germans were in good reinforced positions.

And, in the midst of it all was the heaviest fog Europe had seen in over a hundred years.

It has been suggested that the planners did not know how to read a topographical map.

I remember in 2009 there was an AI experiment with small evolving robots, in which the robots learned to lie and cheat.

I’ve been to the Hürtgen Forest, and it is still nightmarish from the infantry perspective. The Hürtgen Forest cost the U.S. First Army at least 33,000 killed and wounded, including both combat and non-combat losses, with upper estimates at 55,000; German casualties were 28,000.

The battle was so costly that it has been described as an Allied “defeat of the first magnitude.”

Sadly, I wonder if his tombstone will read:

He died as he lived
As an ‘Associate’

I wouldn’t assume he was homosexual. For all we know, he might identify himself as a “serial-shooter-sexual.”

An important exception. Going back to the time of vehemently anti-business, anti-wealth Andrew Jackson, his philosophy was so extreme that it forced the wealthy and corporate powers to unite as the pro-business Whig party.

But they were not alone in this. Everyone else opposed to AJ joined this new party, the Whigs. And they did well for a while, until the issue of slavery arose.

The rank and file of the Whigs were very opposed to slavery, but the big business leaders of the Whigs just couldn’t bring themselves to oppose it, because “slavery is a business”. So no matter how angry the rank and file became, the party leaders wouldn’t make a stand.

So the rank and file split off and formed the anti-slavery Republicans. While they still had money, the Whig leaders lacked the numbers to be a viable political party, so as such, the Whigs withered.

Yet while they agreed with the Jacksonian Democrats in *some* things, they could not abide them on most things.

(There are some suggestions that the “Pap Finn” character in Mark Twain’s ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ was modeled after a typical Jacksonian Democrat. A hate-filled, abusive drunkard.)

So the former Whigs enlisted in the Republican party as its pro-business wing, and strove to obtain the reigns of power. And they have been at it ever since, often thwarting the Republicans, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

After WWII, they became known as the “country club Republicans”, and today we know them as RINOs. They always put big business interests, especially internationalist big business interests, over national interests.

As such, they remain a “traitor with a knife”, standing behind conservative leaders, always willing to betray them to prevent their victories.

It gets better...

‘Watershed moment’ as cultivated (vat grown) chicken to be sold in the US for the first time

https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/11/17/watershed-moment-as-cultivated-chicken-to-be-sold-in-the-us-for-the-first-time

Dollars to donuts, the USDA will allow it to be sold labeled as “chicken”, with no mention of its Frankensteinian origins.

No problem. Just adulterate it to make it unusable until incineration. Lots of chemicals would suffice. Optimally, it should change its appearance, odor, and taste, making it unpalatable.
