A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that a majority of teenagers hospitalized with COVID-19 have one thing in common: severe obesity.

Among a sample of 915 patients aged 12-17 years old from six U.S.hospitals, 61.4% were obese, the CDC found. Sixty and five tenths percent had "severe obesity," defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 40. Having a BMI above 30 qualifies as obese.

In the general population, about 9% of adults have severe obesity, according to the CDC. Sixty percent of teenagers being afflicted with the condition as COVID-19 hospital patients is highly disproportionate.

Comment: The same sick minded "authorities" advising many generations to consume heavy processed food full with sugar and hazardous chemicals, to avoid animal fat and use the toxic vegetable oils, are now doing their best to "save us" from the "deadly" virus.

As a result of their policies, we have a billion people with compromised immune systems, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers.

Can we trust them this time?

Speaking freely: Why I resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

For months now, I've been getting complaints about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where I've worked as a TV and radio producer, and occasional on-air columnist, for much of the past decade.

People want to know why, for example, non-binary Filipinos concerned about a lack of LGBT terms in Tagalog is an editorial priority for the CBC, when local issues of broad concern go unreported. Or why our pop culture radio show's coverage of the Dave Chappelle Netflix special failed to include any of the legions of fans, or comics, that did not find it offensive. Or why, exactly, taxpayers should be funding articles that scold Canadians for using words such as "brainstorm" and "lame."

Everyone asks the same thing: What is going on at the CBC?

Report says Ghislaine Maxwell's husband dumped her for yoga teacher in jailhouse call

Ghislaine Maxwell's husband told her he'd dumped her for a yoga teacher during a "confrontational" phone call while she was in solitary confinement, according to a report.

The Post first revealed last month how Scott Borgerson, 46, had been spotted kissing mom of two Kris McGinn during regular outings near his $3.9 million New England estate — while notably skipping every day of his wife's trial that led to her conviction on sex-trafficking charges last week.

A close friend of Maxwell told the Mail on Sunday that tech entrepreneur Borgerson dumped the notorious madam during a phone call to her in the Metropolitan Detention Center, the Brooklyn lockup where she's being housed under solitary confinement.

"There was a dramatic phone call between them, while she was in jail in solitary confinement. It became confrontational," the source told the UK paper, without giving an exact timeline.

Best of the Web: What is "mass formation psychosis?"

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 21:15 UTC
As of 1:46 p.m. EST on Saturday, a relatively new term of art, "Mass Formation Psychosis," trended in second place on Twitter, a position it continued to hold for more than 90 minutes as of this writing.
twitter trend mass formation psychosis
The phrase came to prominence in some circles in recent months after Belgian psychologist and statistician Dr. Mattias Desmet proffered a theory for what he sees as a global behavioral phenomenon stemming from the coronavirus pandemic declared in March 2020.

In Desmet's words:
Four things need to exist or need to be in place if you want a large scale mass phenomenon to emerge. The first thing is that there needs to be a lot of socially isolated people, people who experience a lack of social bonds. The second one is that there needs to be a lot of people who experience a lack of sense-making in life. And the third and the fourth conditions are that there needs to be a lot of free-floating anxiety and a lot of free-floating psychological discontent. So: meaning, anxiety, and discontent that is not connected to a specific representation. So it needs to be in the mind without the people being able to connect it to something. If you have these four things — lack of social bonds, lack of sense-making, free-floating anxiety, and free-floating psychological discontent — then society is highly at risk for the emergence of mass phenomenon.

Comment: This phenomenon of manipulated social hysteria, has been described previously by Andrew Lobaczewski, in his landmark book, Political Ponerology.See also:

Covid variant with '46 mutations' detected in 12 people in southern France, no evidence it's a variant of concern

Scientists have rung the alarm bells over "the emergence of a new variant" in southern France.

It comes after 12 patients tested positive in the same region, but their tests showed "an atypical combination".

The index case had returned from travelling to Cameroon, suggesting to experts that it may have originated in the African country.


Comment: Why are scientists sounding the alarm? There are no reports of anyone suffering or any signs of danger. If Omicron was even milder than the original flu-like Covid-19, then it's likely this will be just as mild.


Comment: Coronavirus variants are considered to be a cause for concern partly because scientists have been hystericised by the same propaganda campaigns that have induced mass psychosis in the public, and partly because their funding relies on them believing that they are a 'concern': Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: New Year, Same 'New Normal': Mass Formation Psychosis & Crowd Psychology

Criminal suspects released on multiple felony bonds in Texas' most populous county have killed 156 people since 2018, according to victim advocates, who have criticized bail reform efforts that have seen some people charged with violent crimes and released back onto the streets only to violently re-offend.

In Harris County, home to Houston, the largest city in the state, there are 113 defendants charged with capital murder that been granted bond, Rania Mankarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, told Fox News. The group has been tracking statistics in the midst of a change in bond policies.

Specifically, the public safety institution tracks cases for suspects out on multiple felony bonds, including bond forfeiture and bonds for those released on their own personal recognizance (PR). PR bonds don't require cash to get out of jail but include restrictions such as GPS monitoring or drug testing.

SOTT Focus: A Brief Exploration of COVID-Induced Mass Psychosis

Guest post from Nicholas Creed (pseudonym) - a Bangkok-based journalistic infidel impervious to propaganda:

We can draw upon popular culture across film, fiction, and a vast array of dystopian novels to reference, attempt to make sense of, and draw parallels to our current shared plight.

A lesser-known, less readily-acknowledged social affliction at play — which requires a relatively high degree of critical thinking along with a lengthy attention span to truly comprehend — is the concept of a mass delusional psychosis:
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one." — Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.
A psychosis can be defined as a detachment from reality, or the loss of an adaptive relationship to reality. In the place of facts and thoughts based in objective reality in the world, those afflicted by psychosis become overwhelmed by delusions — false beliefs that are believed to be true, in spite of the available evidence presented, even if witnessed first-hand by the eyes and ears of the psychotic.

Germany ironically herds sheep in drive to encourage vaccination

© APSheep and goats stand together in Schneverdingen, Germany, as they form an approximately 100 meters large syringe to promote vaccinations against COVID-19, Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.
Tasty bits of bread did the trick for about 700 sheep and goats to join Germany's drive to encourage more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The animals were arranged on Monday into the shape of a roughly 100-meter (330-foot) syringe in a field at Schneverdingen, south of Hamburg.

Shepherd Wiebke Schmidt-Kochan spent several days practicing with her animals, news agency dpa reported. But she said in the end, it wasn't difficult to work things out — she laid out pieces of bread in the shape of the syringe, which the sheep and goats gobbled up when they were let out into the field.

Organizer Hanspeter Etzold said the action was aimed at people who are still hesitating to get vaccinated.

"Sheep are such likeable animals — maybe they can get the message over better," he said.

One in three Americans say violence against government sometimes justified: poll

Protest that ends with setting fire to ICE building in Portland
One in three Americans said it could sometimes be "justified for citizens to take violent action against the government" in a new poll, up significantly from previous years.

The poll from The Washington Post-University of Maryland published Saturday found that 40 percent of Republicans said violent actions could be justified, compared to 23 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of independents.

Overall, 62 percent of respondents said violence was never justified, and four percent either had no opinion or answered "justified" but "said in a follow-up question that they did not think violence was justified."

Comment: The mass understanding of violence at the Jan. 6th protests is sorely lacking, as usual. Another poll could be conducted to see how many Americans think violence is okay when it is directed at communities and businesses under the guise of protest.
