Please see me testimony. This happened just 2 days ago in Flagstaff,AZ. I was vented as a Covid patient. the day of my car accident. I woke up and removed the vent, argued with staff who said I was vented for covid. As you can see, I am breathing fine as I was before the accident. A miracle woke me up in a sea of sedatives and opiates. https://www.bitchute.com/video/k4UzOvDaJnXr/

Facebook shut down a group early Wednesday that truckers were using to coordinate a convoy from California to Washington, D.C. Convoy to D.C. 2022, which reportedly had over 130,000 members and was being used to plan a protest of vaccine mandates in parts of the United States, was inspired by a protest by Canadian truckers over COVID-19 rules. “I feel like the presence of that amount of people that show they’re unhappy with what’s going on is a good way to get their attention,” Mike Landis, a trucker involved with the convoy, told Fox News. “I feel like this whole...

I work in an engineering department at a tech company in the USA. I've worked on many hiring projects over the years but the latest project is different to the others. In the spreadsheet that lists all the open positions, there's a new column next to open positions with DEI comments. It has a line like this: Senior Software Engineer (must be female) If I follow this spreadsheet and exclude male applicants, then would I break any laws? Or if not laws, then would I violate other regulations or ethical standards in the industry? I ask because my understanding of...

In this episode of “Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Sillier”… “Racist” traffic signals. More precisely, racist traffic cameras. “Guess what’s racist now? Yes, everything is racist, as we know, but specifically what new thing is racist? Traffic cameras.” The Latest in Racism | Power Line https://t.co/Yfzc7LXeWn — abk (@seriouslyabk) January 16, 2022 As reported by super-left ProPublica, a recent study found that traffic cameras in Chicago “disproportionately” ticket Black and Latino drivers. Just one problem. Even worse: “Racist,” or not, not only do Chicago city officials plan to stick with the ticketing system; other cities are likely...

Received a mandatory update (34) alert on my Samsung Galaxy S10e. You can delay the install, but not avoid it. Now all internet access starts from a Google Chrome page. While you can uninstall Google Chrome, you also lose access to Google maps. And those duckduckgo searches you thought were private....uh, no, they are sitting there listed as "recent searches".

If Rogan and GETTR worked out, then Gab would be a viable alternative for those who aren't a fit for GETTR, but now understand there's other platforms beyond Twitter. Rogan's audience on GETTR would be "hey, this alt stuff isn't so bad after all! What else is out there?"

System76 is more than just a cool moniker. To truly learn its significance, we have to look a few hundred years into the past, to the American Revolution. Get in the car, Marty. We’re off to be revolutionaries! Here we are, the year 1776. The American Colonies signed the Declaration of Independence to gain freedom from the British Empire. Okay! Back in the car, Marty. Yes I’m aware we just got here, but now we’re departing… for the early 2000s! Ah yes, the early 2000s, where the disks are scratched and the phones flip in circles. Zoom in on a...

Over the past week, after a blog post I made about how Joe Rogan was disrupting the mainstream media, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by former Fox Houston newswoman Ivory Hecker about what the future of the mainstream media looks like.You may remember Ivory as the woman who was fired after interrupting a live, on-air weather report this past summer to claim that Fox was “muzzling” her, before turning over her evidence to Project Veritas.A follow up interview by Project Veritas revealed that Hecker was reportedly reprimanded by the network for bringing up hydroxychloroquine during an interview and...

Cyber Ninjas, a firm hired by the Arizona state Senate to conduct a review of Maricopa County’s election results, on Thursday announced that it is shutting down after a county government report slammed the firm and a judge ordered it to pay $50,000 a day in fines. Same (sic) Levine, a reporter for The Guardian, first reported the news of Cyber Ninjas closing down on Thursday, tweeting that CEO “Doug Logan and the rest of the employees have been let go and Cyber Ninjas is being shut down.”

I am looking for a new Email service. Currently have a Verizon Email address the service for which was moved by Verizon to AOL/Yahhoo after Verizon bought AOL/Yahoo. The Email accounts originated with Verizon as part of the paid Internet service we have had with them. But before AOL that included tech support for the Email including speaking to a tech support person. Now if you want true tech support you have to upgrade the AOL mail account to a paid subscription account separate from the paid Internet service with Verizon. I use the Thunderbird Email client application, using the...

Elon Musk is a pleasure to listen to for a number of reasons: he's down to earth, witty, often funny, and as the CEO & Chief Engineer of Space/X he can delve into the challenges of rocketing to Mars and make it somewhat understandable and interesting for the layman. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to podcasts, but I listened to the first 45 minutes of this 2.5 hour recording -- it was that interesting. Scan the subjects in the index below, then click to your subject of interest. Here's an excerpt from the podcast where he discusses what he...

The recent Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage is a powerful reminder about the detriments of “smart” technology, which is gone in an instant once the “cloud” goes down. One wonders how many thousands (millions?) of people out there were left without working doorbells, Roomba vacuum cleaners and even refrigerators that normally run on AWS but no longer could during the outage.According to reports, the disruption began at around 10am EST on December 7. It left many packages unable to be delivered, many streaming media services were down, and patrons of Walt Disney Co. theme parks were unable to enter due...

The following text is an expanded version of testimony that the author delivered to a hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Media, and Broadband on December 9, 2021. The meme that algorithmic harm results from greedy CEOs hacking our minds fails to grasp the true nature of the digital crisis roiling America. The main purpose of algorithms, like digital programs and datacenters more broadly, is not to make money or influence thoughts, but to control people—in a direct and alien way hostile to our core beliefs and principles. True, the objection could be raised that algorithms, in a certain...

CVS Health is partnering with Microsoft to develop a “data-driven, personalized, privacy-compliant customer experience,” which sounds a whole lot like Bill Gates getting his grubby, blood-stained hands into patients’ vaccine records. According to reports, Microsoft Azure will help CVS “enhance its omnichannel pharmacy capabilities and deliver customized, omnichannel health recommendations,” which is likely only possible if patients’ medical histories are laid bare for Microsoft, and possibly Gates, to view and analyze. Using advanced machine learning (ML) technology models run on Microsoft’s cloud computing service, CVS will be able to leverage the results to automate more healthcare-related tasks, the company says....
