SOTT Focus: Do Covid-19 Statistics Represent 'Excess Deaths' or State-sponsored 'Homicide'?

Throughout the course of the COVID Operation, we have seen that COVID "attribution" data has been unreliable and manipulated. World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) changed Cause of Death guidelines. Financial incentives are part of the manipulated equation, unvalidated tests are used, "presumptive COVID "cases" count as "COVID cases", distinctions between death WITH COVID-19 and deaths BY/FROM COVID-19 are not being made. Importantly, comorbidities such as age, cardiovascular health etc. are largely negated as the spotlight burns on COVID-19. All of these biases corrupt the data.

Rigorous epidemiological studies, on the other hand, rely exclusively on "All Cause" mortality data. (1) Using "All Cause" data, Dr. Denis Rancourt demonstrates in "All-cause mortality during COVID-19: No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response" that "the total number of winter-burden all-cause 'excess' deaths for the season ending in 2020 (area above the summer baseline) is not statistically larger than for past years, and it remains to be seen how low the summer 2020 trough will be."

Comment: Professor Rancourt makes a compelling case, and the news backs him up.

As Cream of Wheat mascot follows Aunt Jemima & Uncle Ben out the door, who really benefits from this purge?

© Reuters / Brendan McDermid; B&G Foods; Reuters / Brendan McDermidB&G Foods is the latest company to scrub a mascot deemed an offensive racial caricature, following a spate of similar moves by other corporations.
B&G Foods has retired the black 'chef' mascot who once graced its Cream of Wheat packaging, the latest character to get the chop as corporations realize they can score easy social-justice points by axing images of nonwhite people.

Announcing the packaging change in the kind of self-flagellating press release that has become familiar in recent weeks, B&G stated they were "initiating an immediate review of the Cream of Wheat brand packaging" because of "concerns regarding the Chef image." The brand promised to "proactively take steps to ensure that we and our brands do not inadvertently contribute to systemic racism" and reminded consumers that they "unequivocally stand against prejudice and injustice of any kind."

Cream of Wheat fans might wonder how the anonymous smiling chef perpetuates systemic racism, but they know better than to voice their doubts out loud. No one - from large corporations to the people who buy their products - wants to be seen as racially insensitive, and the range of behaviors that fall under that heading appears to be expanding rapidly.

There are plenty of good arguments for scrapping these brand icons. Aunt Jemima, of pancake syrup fame, was named after a minstrel song, and the character herself based on the offensive "mammy" racial stereotype; the original model for the character was born a slave in the South. Over the last 70 years, Quaker gradually lightened Jemima's skin and made her thinner, finally ditching her "mammy" bandana entirely for the most recent 1989 reinvention. In short, she's been "problematic" since day one, even before you get to the ingredients in the products marketed under her name (spoiler alert: Aunt Jemima syrup contains no actual maple syrup, but it does have a lot of high fructose corn syrup).

Masterson, known for his roles in "That '70s Show" and "The Ranch," has been charged with raping three women, Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials announced Wednesday. The incidents occurred between 2001 and 2003, officials allege. Masterson's attorney Tom Mesereau said his client “is innocent, we’re confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify.”
"That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was charged with the rapes of three women in the early 2000s, Los Angeles prosecutors said Wednesday, the culmination of a three-year investigation that resulted in a rare arrest of a famous Hollywood figure in the #MeToo era.

The three counts of rape by force or fear against Masterson were filed Tuesday, and an arrest warrant isssued. Masterson, 44, was arrested late Wednesday morning, jail records showed. He was released a few hours later after posting bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 18.

Masterson's attorney Tom Mesereau said his client is innocent, and "we're confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify."

Nine people were wounded by gunfire across Minneapolis Tuesday, including a two-hour span that saw eight shot, adding to a recent rash of violence since last month's unrest over the police killing of George Floyd.

Police Department statistics show that a record 149 people have been shot since the start of the year — nearly half were shot within the past three weeks.

The most recent violence started shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday, when patrol officers responded to calls of gunfire in the 2900 block of Columbus Avenue, only to learn that a male victim had been dropped off at an area hospital.

A preliminary investigation showed that the shooting was preceded by an argument between a group of people, according to police, who offered few other details.

Best of the Web: Street battles rage between rival foreign Muslim militias in French city of Dijon

Comment: There has been almost no media coverage about this incident in France...

The French city of Dijon was rocked by chaotic scenes reminiscent of a war zone as rival gangs clashed following an assault on a Chechen teen - but was it more a "battle of territories" in a drugs war than simple score-settling?

For several nights, the rule of law seemed suspended in parts of the historic French tourist town, as Chechen and Maghreb gangs openly brandished weapons and took over city streets, prompting surreal scenes and leaving residents in fear of venturing outside their homes.

Footage posted to Twitter showed a car speeding through a group of Chechens and flipping over, like a scene from a video game. The situation finally calmed on Monday, after the government deployed militarized police units to quell the unrest. Dijon Mayor François Rebsamen accused the Chechen community of attempting to "enforce its own right and law of retaliation."

On social media, some offered the knee-jerk explanation that the violence gripping the French city was simply the inevitable result of immigration - and, indeed, the non-integration of Muslim immigrants in France has led to plenty of cultural clashes. Yet, the reality of how Dijon became the center of all-out gangland warfare is more complicated.



Comment: Pretty much. And govts, irrespective of their intentions, are helping that scenario to happen.

Shooting charge dropped against suspected New Mexico shooter

© Fight For Our Lives/Social Media via REUTERSAttendees help a man who was shot and wounded during clashes between protesters trying to pull down a statue of Juan de Onate and armed members of civilian militia group New Mexico Civil Guard in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S. June 15, 2020, in this still image obtained from a social media video.
A New Mexico prosecutor on Wednesday dropped a shooting charge against an Albuquerque man suspected of shooting a protester and called for further investigations after allegations the protester was armed at the time he was shot.

Torrez dropped an initial aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge against Steven Baca, 31, after images emerged online showing protester Scott Williams, 39, holding what was rumored to be a knife before he was allegedly shot by Baca. Torrez said he expected Baca to claim self defense in the case.

"There have been rumors on social media about what transpired in the final seconds before this and we are actively looking into those and whether or not this was justified," Torrez told an online press briefing. "The reason he is not facing that charge right now is because this investigation is not complete."

Comment: Judging from the video circulating online (now difficult to find), Baca was pretty clearly trying to flee the scene and was being ganged up on when he fired the shots. And at one point, he was pretty clearly hit with a skateboard. It would be difficult to argue he was the attacker at that point, regardless of what he did beforehand.

Best of the Web: Priest defrocked by Russian Orthodox Church for refusal to cease ministering his flock during lockdown seizes convent at site of massacre of Romanovs

sergius romanov priest covid-19 russia
Father Romanov
Everyone is dealing with Corona-madness in their own way. In Russia, one priest has decided to take a serious stand over it. How serious this stand becomes remains to be seen, but it could yet provoke a 'schism' within the Orthodox Church - symbolically, if not literally.

Here's Russia Today's somewhat tepid report about the stand-off:
A Russian priest who believes Covid-19 is an invention by evil forces hellbent on "chipping the population" has apparently used Cossack fighters to seal off a women's convent after church authorities prohibited him from preaching.

According to local media sources, Shiigumen Sergius ousted the abbess of the convent, Varvara, along with several nuns, and took control of the building after his ban. Prior to the takeover, he was an informal leader of the community but was subservient to the regional diocese.

Since the incident, the cleric has not allowed local religious leaders to visit, and journalists from the area have claimed that the site is being guarded by Cossacks loyal to Sergius.
That claim is denied by the priest/'protestors'.

It's also interesting that RT opted to call him by his old name, whereas his new name is legally Romanov. Their report continues:
Sergius was forbidden from conducting religious duties at Ekaterinburg's Central Urals Monastery after criticizing the reaction of Russian authorities and Patriarch Kirill to the Covid-19 "pseudo-pandemic." Due to the precarious epidemiological situation, churches in Russia have been ordered to close for the safety of parishioners.

Sergius claimed on many occasions that the pandemic was an excuse to microchip the public, and complained that the closure of churches during the crisis was done under pressure from "the atheistic authorities."
'Chipping the population' was not the primary motive for declaring the pandemic, but the priest is essentially correct in that it in no way justified the lockdowns and mass suffering they caused. The media, as usual, caricatures the dissenting view in a manipulative effort to malign it in readers' eyes.

D&D Orcs get woke proofreading: Censors standing on George Floyd's death are after a fantasy game

How many of those who support censorship in the name of Black Lives Matter have even played Dungeons & Dragons? Why are companies like D&D creator Wizards of the Coast caving in to the hurt feelings of the woke?

Some people like to say we're living in a "Clown World" where not much really makes sense. Given the current political climate and the effect it's having on the arts, I'm starting to agree. The recently renewed push to declare certain fantasy tropes like Orcs or Drow to be racist and offensive, is a case in point. The incessant drone, that we can't have certain ideas or words in the arts "in the year 2020," is often parodied as "in the current year," given that tv host John Oliver seems to state this every year as if it's going to matter.

Wizards of the Coast, the creators of D&D, has now stated that they are going to bring in "sensitivity readers" to check their work to see if it's offensive. So let's get this straight: A company is going to bring in the constantly offended to check and see if its own work is offensive? What could go wrong?

For the end product, it's like hiring Jack Kevorkian to monitor a loved-one in a coma, or like hiring Josef Mengele as your surgeon. It's likely going to end with someone or something dead, in this case your entire role-playing game franchise, or at least the last vestiges of fun it used to bring.

Best of the Web: Facebook using 'fact-checkers' to censor dissent (based on accurate information) on Covid19

speech censors
Facebook has flagged our article "It's all bullshit": 3 links sinking the Covid narrative" as 'false information', based on nothing but a single 'fact check' website, which does not even claim the information is 'false', but merely quibbles over terminologies to justify claiming the information is 'misleading.'

This is what you see today if you try to access that article on Facebook:

facebook censor
And if you click on the 'see why' button you get taken here, to the website of Health Feedback, an "independent fact-checker".

Of course, they're not independent - they're actually funded by Facebook. They are also funded by the "Credibility Coalition", an NGO focused on "common standards for information credibility".
