MSM still predicting a Covid APOCALYPSE, but their web of lies is collapsing around them

The mainstream media is still trying to drum up fear and hysteria on the basis of cherry-picked statistics. A glance at the figures is enough to prove them liars. Someone should let them know: no one is listening anymore.

The US has recently surpassed 2 million cases, according to official figures, representing almost one-third of the world's coronavirus infections. Much of the reporting on recent statistics features words like 'spikes', 'surges', and 'hot spots', but patterns in the statistics suggest that some areas have dwindling levels of the virus, while it is only now beginning to spread in others.

What can I say? They're lying. There has been a clear and persistent drop in cases ever since the peak towards the end of April, about six weeks ago. This is just another example of MSM outlets publishing half-truths, cherry-picked statistics, and agenda-driven stories in order to push their narrative. Your best bet for getting good information is alternative outlets like this one and various lone voices on Twitter.

We don't need no stinking vaccine for Covid-19

A Glaring Omission

With the 24/7 media circus coverage of Covid-19 I find it particularly interesting that there is an obvious glaring omission of some extremely important facts relative to dealing with a virus, especially one that is allegedly so virulent like this one. Yes, I read all about the critical need to shelter in place, stay inside away from other people, wash your hands constantly, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, wear your face mask and by all means observe social distancing if you MUST venture outside for food!

Then it's repeated ad infinitum that the ONLY hope we have of ever returning to a semblance of normalcy is to have a vaccine to protect us! Then to add some drama to this narrative the media highlights their death-o-meter scoreboard with the implied threat that you'll be next IF you don't obey the rules as dictated by the "experts".

But what is assiduously avoided at all cost is any reference to our most potent defense against any virus; our body's natural immune system. Try as I might I couldn't find anything about this first line of defense on the World Health Organizations (WHO) website or Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website. It's as if it doesn't exist and is completely irrelevant.

Eight big reasons critical race theory is terrible for dealing with racism

As unlikely as it seems, a highly obscure academic theory known as Critical Race Theory has completely mainstreamed in society, and now everyone is discussing it. While Critical Race Theory has the noble goal of pointing out problems that can be hard to see and that maintain or constitute racism, it turns out to be a remarkably bad way of going about this. A little familiarity with the basic principles of Critical Race Theory and how they go wrong can help with this.

Before I begin, I offer my apologies to the reader. Critical Race Theory has been growing for over 40 years, and it has many deep problems. Therefore, this is long, and still it is not nearly complete. Here, I document just eight of the biggest problems with the entire Critical Race Theory approach. Treat them as eight short essays on specific topics in Critical Race Theory and digest them one at a time. I offer them in the hopes of helping people understand it better so they can decide for themselves if Critical Race Theory is the way we should be dealing with race issues and racism in our society, or if we can genuinely do better.

Up to 80% of coronavirus sufferers don't show symptoms, new study suggests

Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed the study's findings at Thursday's Downing Street press briefing

Up to 80 per cent of people who test positive for coronavirus don't show any symptoms, a new study of the pandemic in England suggests.

Research carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) uses swab testing to determine how many people are infected with Covid-19 across the country at any one time.

In the vast majority of cases, those who tested positive had not been displaying any symptoms, Matt Hancock revealed on Thursday.

The Health Secretary told the daily Downing Street press briefing: "Yes, there are some people who don't have symptoms but do have the virus.

"And in fact, in the ONS study we find that around 70-80 per cent of people who test positive don't have symptoms. That is quite a significant finding."

Mr Hancock acknowledged that asymptomatic transmission is "one of the things that makes controlling this disease really hard."

Comment: New studies are showing that at least 60% of people are naturally resistant to SARS-COV2:

The research, conducted by a team of scientists at the University Hospital in Zurich, is titled: "Systemic and mucosal antibody secretion specific to SARS-CoV-2 during mild versus severe COVID-19", and found that Sars-Cov-2-specific antibodies only appear in the most severe cases, or about 1 out of 5.

The authors infer from this that antibodies are inexplicably absent from the majority of mild cases of covid19. But, given the known inaccuracy of the diagnostic tests and the well-documented tendencies to over-diagnose by clinical observation, another potential explanation would appear to be that the absent antibodies were due to the fact the subjects had never actually been infected with SARS-COV-2 in the first place, and their 'mild' cold-like symptoms were due to some other pathogen, like...the common cold.

However, if the authors are indeed correct in their estimation, this might mean SARS-COV-2's infection rate (IFR) would need to be revised downward yet again. If 80% of those infected really do not produce antibodies then there is a live possibility the virus is present in many more people than usually supposed. Which would in turn potentially reduce the IFR, possibly considerably.

[...]

In other words, large numbers of people may be immune or resistant to this virus because they have already been infected by other coronaviruses.

This may not be surprising, given the close relationship between most coronaviruses, but it is a further indicator that this virus, known to be harmless in the vast majority of cases, is neither especially unique nor especially dangerous.

The evidence continues to mount that the original estimates of the danger posed by this virus were massively exaggerated.

FBI spread claim Trump worked with Russia, declassified document shows

A newly declassified document reveals FBI officials circulated sensational claims that President Trump "worked with" Russia in 2016 and that his campaign was offered "financial compensation" to drop US sanctions, but didn't disclose that the claims came from an opposition researcher for the Democrats.

The claims were made by former British spy Christopher Steele and detailed by the FBI in a classified annex to an intelligence community assessment on Russia's role in the 2016 election. CBS News first reported Thursday that the document was partially declassified by intelligence director John Ratcliffe.

Steele was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to find dirt on Trump. He leaned on a network of sources to compile a dossier of allegations including unverified rumors.

An investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller later found no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia including on the distribution of hacked Democratic emails.

Comment: Yet more evidence that the whole "Russiagate" circus was a sham from beginning to end. But don't expect any of what's being revealed to make it through the hystericized numbskulls who continue to bleat "Orange Man Bad!!".

Seattle militants set up new 'autonomous zone' as Portland's attempt is overtaken by 'Warlord'

District Herald
Thu, 11 Jun 2020 00:00 UTC

Militant leftists in Seattle are now attempting to set up their own "autonomous zone," free of police, after the Portland version was overtaken by an armed "warlord" just one day in. One of the leaders of the Portland version has also already been accused of sexual assault and threatened to commit suicide after admitting that they are a "serial abuser."

The Portland militants began setting up their "autonomous zone" late Wednesday evening using barbed wire fences. Apparently, walls and fences are no longer racist.

Comment: Update: June 11, 2020 Portland's police-free 'autonomous zone' fails and is abandoned:

Portland Protest
Police used stun grenades, rubber bullets and other "crowd control munitions" to try and prevent protesters from destroying and repurposing sections of chain-link fence outside the Multnomah County Justice Center. Last week, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking police from using tear gas against protesters.

It was the 14th consecutive night of anti-racism and police brutality protests in Portland in the aftermath of George Floyd's death at the hands of the Minneapolis police department.

Thousands of people thronged the city's parks, bridges and streets with various forms of protest, including a skateboard march.

Since the protests began, Portland has selected a new police chief and Mayor Ted Wheeler has vowed to redirect at least $7 million of police funding to help communities of color.

UPDATE: 11/6/2020 Trump: Democrats' unable to maintain law & order in Seattle:

Seattle has been overrun by "domestic terrorists," US President Donald Trump said, slamming "Radical Left Democrats" after a self-styled anarchist commune was set up around an abandoned police station in the city.

Calling for "LAW & ORDER" in his standard all-caps style on Wednesday night, Trump decried the situation in Seattle following days of heated protests over police brutality, blaming its Democratic leadership for losing control of the city.

Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don't do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

Tucker Carlson: We were all lied to about the Coronavirus pandemic

Tucker Carlson delivered another scathing review of the state of affairs in the United States, with liberal governments actually showing themselves as more and more culpable in the deaths of people precisely because of the coronavirus lockdowns, which were touted as life-saving. His monologue, a ten-minute, absolutely packed commentary, delivered the strongest blow yet to the latest coup attempt in progress. However, he is not saying anything we did not already sense or know. For example:

We sense that this pandemic is far, far less than advertised. While the numbers of cases continue to grow worldwide, the fatality rate is very low, more analogous to a bad flu year but only in some locales. As of June 11th, 2020 the John Hopkins COVID tracking site gives these selected statistics:

The youth of China were the enforcers of Mao's cultural revolution

James David Banker

"Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart," wrote James Baldwin, "for his purity, by definition, is unassailable." This observation has been confirmed many times throughout history. However, China's Cultural Revolution offers perhaps the starkest illustration of just how dangerous the "pure in heart" can be. The ideological justification for the revolution was to purge the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the nation more broadly, of impure elements hidden in its midst: capitalists, counter-revolutionaries, and "representatives of the bourgeoisie." To that end, Mao Zedong activated China's youth — unblemished and uncorrupted in heart and mind — to lead the struggle for purity. Christened the "Red Guards," they were placed at the vanguard of a revolution that was, in truth, a cynical effort by Mao to reassert his waning power in the Party. Nevertheless, it set in motion a self-destructive force of almost unimaginable depravity.

The Cultural Revolution commenced in spirit when Mao published a letter indicting a number of Party leaders on May 16, 1966. But it was a seemingly minor event nine days later that ignited the revolution in effect: a young philosophy professor at Peking University named Nie Yuanzi placed a "big-character poster" (a handwritten propaganda sheet featuring large Chinese characters) on a public bulletin board denouncing the university president and others in the administration as bourgeois revisionists. Mao immediately endorsed her protest, which set off a chain reaction of student revolt that swept through China.

'Community policing' is a trick - new enforcers for the same oppressors, not a dismantling of tyranny

As the massive anti-police-brutality protests sweeping the US are diverted into calls to "defund the police" and to replace them with community-based enforcers, Americans would be wise to keep an eye on "who benefits."

There's no question US police departments have become too militarized, too much like occupying armies, when the cities they patrol truly need engagement and accountability. Police in some areas pose more of a threat to residents than criminals, seizing a bigger chunk of Americans' assets via civil asset forfeiture in 2014 than were stolen by burglars that same year. Certainly outfitting cops with military surplus equipment, sending them to Israel to learn chokeholds like the one that killed George Floyd, and then deploying them in American schools to keep the kids safe is not a workable model.

Most people concerned with the police brutality problem would support demilitarizing the cops, retraining them, even holding them accountable to the many laws already on the books. Derek Chauvin, the officer who killed George Floyd, had already racked up a number of brutality complaints and been involved in several shootings. In a functioning system, he would not have been on the street on Memorial Day.

'People are just f***ing lawless right now' - Chicago's aldermen plead with mayor to protect their communities from bands of armed looters

As unrest swept the city Sunday, aldermen pleaded with Mayor Lori Lightfoot to help them protect their communities from roving bands of criminals clashing with police and looting businesses.

WTTW News obtained a recording of an online conference call held by the mayor's office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city's response to the unrest touched off by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.

While one alderman wept, others grew angry with the mayor, demanding to know what her strategy was to stop the violence that began in earnest late Saturday.

The call provides a snapshot into the city's response as of midday on Sunday to the most widespread and damaging unrest since the uprising after the murder of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the police riots after the Democratic National Convention in 1968.

The recording begins with Ald. Michelle Harris (8th Ward) wondering how she could convince businesses like Walmart and CVS to rebuild on the South Side after the destruction.

"It's like, what are we going to have left in our community?" Harris asks her colleagues before answering herself. "Nothing."

Quote of the Day

State power has its own limits defined by the fact that it is authority that reaches people from outside. State power cannot oversee and dictate the creative states of the soul and mind, the inner states of love, freedom and goodwill. The state cannot demand from its citizens faith, prayer, love, goodness and conviction. It cannot regulate scientific, religious and artistic creation. It should not intervene in moral, family and daily private life, and only when extremely necessary should it impinge on people's economic initiative and creativity.
