this blog develops the idea that a theory of man in history can be worked out around the theme that man's self expression in culture and society is motivated by the desire to find meaning in man's existence. i proceed by summarizing seminal works that provide insights into the dynamics of this process, with the view that the culmination of this exploration was reached with god's self revelation in jesus. i'll hopefully also explore the developments that followed this event.

What could possibly have happened in about the third week of January? Do you believe in ... coincidences? H/T Zerohedge:
You know what else happened in January that flicked a huge middle finger to the elite? This whole GameStop short squeeze situation. Just learned about it today. This video is a good primer for those not familiar with the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YrnTbzuOWM
Taibbi wrote today about this: "pundits with near-unanimity have decreed, that such activities must be stopped, and irresponsible/antisocial gambling on financial markets must, in the name of all that is *holy*, be confined to credentialed traders."
Only credentialed traders can trade. Only credentialed doctors can understand pandemics. Only credentialed journalists can interpret events. Only credentialed lawyers can understand justice. Only credentialed analysts can understand intelligence. Only credentialed experts can understand diplomacy/government. Only credentialed scientists can understand Anthropogenic Climate Change.

That is because the WHO recommended that the use of the PCR test be discontinued on people with no symptoms of Covid. it was producing high rate of false positive to ratchet up fear.

I used read El Gato Malo on Twitter regularly (@boriquagato) for real Covid information. He is a pharma guy from CA to relo'ed to Puerto Rico where his job is designing tests for new drugs to get FDA approval. He got his account suspended by Twatter a few weeks ago, but not before he hammered away for nearly a year at the insanity of using cT=40 PCR as a diagnostic tool in the absence of clinical symptoms to identify Covid cases. Just ahead of his time, I guess.
There are a LOT of people who think they are cute/smart politically who are going to crap their pants when they see the withering look on God's face as they explain that they destroyed millions of lives to achieve nothing but power for their political party.
Something interesting I saw on telly here in Oz a couple of nights ago regarding the China virus (SkyNews Aust. - Credlin)
USA population: 332,113,877 (~332 million) (Source: Worldometer as of Wednesday, January 27, 2021)
Number of covid cases: 26,166,201 Number of covid deaths: 439,517 (3%) (source: Worldometer January 28, 2021, 04:16 GMT)
India population: 1,387,752,969 (~1.4 billion) (Source: Worldometer as of Wednesday, January 27, 2021)
Number of covid cases: 10,702,031 Number of covid deaths: 153,885 (1%) (source: Worldometer January 28, 2021, 04:16 GMT)
So why does India have less covid cases and deaths?
Simple really, they use Hydroxychloroquine + zinc + antibiotics in their treatment of covid cases. They've also been using it a 'preventative' - costs about AUS$2.60 per person.

He’s a former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Scientist for Allergy & Respiratory. He’s English so you might not get some of the references. SAGE is Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies. For the first several months of the pandemic that group had not one virologist but was stuffed with statistical modellers!
Patrick Byrne's perspective/opinion on what happened with the legal issues after the election. It's his first-hand account of his experience with Sidney and Rudy.
Thanks for this link. It has the ring of truth to it and thus brings clarity to much of this mess.
The comments are interesting, with people wondering about Trump's complicity. IMO, chaos is the simplest answer. Trump thrives in chaos, but it bit him in the @ss on the election.
It probably wouldn't have made any difference- the courts made it clear they were never going to allow any look into the fraud- but the Trump legal team, and I use that in the broadest sense, made a mistake focusing so much attention on things like electronic changing of vote totals- basically all the Dominion stuff. The fraud was in the vast flood of mail in ballots, ballots that were then hoovered up by Democrat operatives and sent back in with forged signatures. The Veritas Project even demonstrated for doubters how this was being done in Minnesota- the Democrats were literally buying the ballots off of people who weren't going to send them back with their own votes. My estimates are that they did at least 150-200K such fraudulent votes in both PA and MI, and up to 100K in WI, AZ, and GA.
To demonstrate the fraud, all that needed to be done was audit the signatures on the envelopes, but this required the Secretaries of State actually doing their jobs, or the courts ordering them to do their jobs. The best way to get this would have been to focus all the legal effort on this one goal, but the Trump team went in multiple different directions.
@Yancey, you may be correct in stating that it wouldn't have made any difference.
But you should actually read the statement at the link. It gives the opposite impression to what you've said.
Byrne quotes Rudy stating fraud is impossible to prove in court, and the play-by-play that he narrates shows that Rudy's strategy reflected that defeatist attitude and was further decimated by his own drunkenness, incompetent inner circle, and the Donald's penchant for chaos.
Even though there appears to have been enough fraud of the type that you mentioned to turn the election, I wonder how you really prosecute it if you can't access the signatures and clearly associate them with specific ballots. You would basically have to identify and prosecute every individual, but with what proof?
The real story lies in Sydney's effort, together with Byrne and Flynn. I wonder if we will ever have access to their full findings..
I've watched a couple interviews of Byrne discussing his election-fraud info. He presents technical info in a very disjointed fashion that is impossible for mere humans to process. No way would Byrne impress Rudy given that Rudy knew he was dealing with a political problem (State Legislatures needed to be given the courage to take control) not a technical one.
And, Trump's failing to get Barr, to keep his vow to bring Fireworks, green-lighted all other Dem/ DS lawbreaking, which would only be discouraged if DOJ decided to push, to get courts to care again about rampant criminality.
Developing information and presenting information are different skills. You can improve your presentation skills, but some people just don't have it in them.
Rudy's job was to assess the quality of information and, if found useful, organize the system to receive, digest, distill and argue that information.
But it appears that Rudy was too substance-impaired, too focused on types of fraud he didn't even believe could be successfully remedied in legal actions, and too disorganized (probably because he didn't believe that he would be successful) to have any hope of success.
Wow....just....wow! I know this question is just a small part of Mr. Byrne's excellent accounting, but I wonder what happened with the 2 people who were walked out of the office because they were actually found to be working against the effort to find the truth. I would like to know who planted them there.
You may be better off, telling them about guys like Atlas, and about how the MSM/ DS cherry-picked its doctors, to push those puking out the DS line, and bury the views of those dissing that line. As I feared it would be, from the start.

DeleteThe problem I see with the public learning and believing that covid was a fraud.... or at least, was used fraudulently...
ReplyDeleteI've tried several times to explain it to people, and they just don't want to believe that doctors and medical professionals lied to them.
The old story is that doctors are supposed to care for people, not lie to them... so it goes counter to their belief system.
It will be a hard wakeup call.
