Bret Weinstein interviews two researchers on a topic that is thankfully starting to gain some traction: vitamin D.

At the 1 1/2 hour mark, the discussion shifts to the less well-known but critical topic of animal reservoirs. They identify a key problem with the mass vaccination program which could explain, in part, why it is driving itself to failure.

“As soon as you discover that a virus has an animal reservoir, you know that it will never be extinct. Smallpox has no animal reservoir; that is why we could drive it to be extinct.”

In the business world, anyone with this track record for prediction would be out on their ear. But in Sovietized medicine, the powers that be overlook these failures as though selective memory was the fast track to promotion.

the revisionist history around vaccines is getting pretty extreme. let’s be VERY clear:

  • yes, they were promised to stop spread, contagion, and provide herd immunity.
  • yes, those promises were made by the same “experts” currently claiming “vaccines were never supposed to stop spread, just reduce severity.”
  • yes, they were so committed to this that they literally changed the definition of “herd immunity” to EXCLUDE natural immunity.

To be fair though, the message is also being embraced by a population that finds sleepwalking disturbingly comforting.

I am literally gobsmacked by the lack of memory and discernment.

This level of credulity leaves me wondering how the entire country has not already lost its savings in some internet scam.

Evening Standard- ‘Bad weed trip’ killer cleared of murder after admitting manslaughter

Jake Notman inflicted more than 30 stab wounds on 25-year-old university student Lauren Bloomer after eating a cannabis brownie at their home in Bingley Avenue, Tamworth Staffordshire in the early hours of Friday November 20 last year.

The 27-year-old car factory worker denied murdering Miss Bloomer, claiming he did not form the necessary intent due to his mental state.

One aspect of the pandemic that typically gets little notice is the psychological side. In this one hour interview, Amy Peikoff speaks with Matthias Desmet, clinical psychologist at the University of Ghent, regarding the psychological impact of the pandemic measures.

In a nutshell, Desmet’s thesis is that the measures are creating a dangerous “social bond” in which frustration is focused on the dehumanization of the unvaccinated and anyone who questions the scope and effectiveness of said measures. We are now experiencing a phenomenon that he terms “mass formation” in which a kind of “mental intoxication” takes hold. Critical thinking is discouraged and replaced by unquestioning obedience and the adoption of transparently absurd rituals. If not stopped, he fears that this psychological conditioning will open the door to a totalitarian society.

When it comes to seafood, nearly half of what you think you’re buying at the grocery store or ordering from a menu is falling short of its promises, according to a new DNA testing study by Oceana Canada. The ocean conservation group tested seafood samples from restaurants and grocery stores in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and found that 46 per cent were mislabelled.

One of the reasons why the public outcry over the pandemic restrictions has been so muted is that the full costs of the lockdowns are often obscured by government edicts that prevent markets from making those costs known. This weekend, one of those edicts finally expired.

As many as 1.95 million households across America owed a collective $15 billion in back rent when a nationwide eviction moratorium expired this weekend, according to Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia estimates.

That number will reach 2 million by December, according to the report released Friday. In Pennsylvania, about 60,000 renter households will owe $412 million come August.

1971 Leader Post: “Chiefs Request (Marieval) School Be Kept”

Little Known Facts There Goes The Narrative We Are All Treaty People 114 Comments

By Ruth Shaw, Staff Reporter

YORKTON (Staff) – A resolution asking that the Marieval Residental School be kept open as long as the Indian people want it, was passed by the chiefs and counsellors of eight Indian bands at a regional meeting held Thursday.

The meeting was held in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, with Joe Whitehawk of Yorkton, district
supervisor, as chairman.

Various spokesmen said the pupils are generally children from broken homes, orphans or are from inadequate homes. There is a great need for the school and the need is increasing, rather than diminishing. Many of the children have no other place to stay, as many have only grandparents, who through lack of space, health or age are unable to look after them.

The alternative is foster homes, which will cost just as much money. Children in the residential school get a measure of correction, discipline and religious training and this should be taken into consideration, when plans are under study for the phasing out of the school, the spokesman said.

While residential schools are not the best, they meet the most needs of the children. Children in foster homes are deprived of correction, discipline and religious training. The older members were disciplined and given religious training and “we must get back to these old traditions,” the spokesman said. The spokesman, who is a community development officer, said the Marievale Residential School must be expanded one step further and a junior high school established.

Another spokesman said the Indian people passed a resolution asking that the school remain open and it should not be up to the department to say whether the school should be closed.

Another said that if the request is made it should remain open and “the people should not be bribed to close the place.”

Chief Antoine Cote of the Cote reserve said the people on his reserve are not satisfied with the integration of Indian students at Kamsack.

“They claim there is no discrimination, but there is and we realize there is. One of the reasons of phasing out the student residential schools is so our children can be sent to so called integrated schools,” he said.

If Not For Fake Hate There’d Be No Hate At All

Little Known Facts Media Terrorism 9 Comments

On the fifth anniversary of the PULSE nightclub massacre in Orlando, numerous senators, politicians and activist groups commemorated that tragic event by propagating an absolute falsehood: namely, that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was motivated by anti-LGBT animus. The evidence is definitive and conclusive that this is false — Mateen, like so many others who committed similar acts of violence, was motivated by rage over President Obama’s bombing campaigns in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and chose PULSE at random without even knowing it was a gay club — yet this media-consecrated lie continues to fester.

Weinstein and Heying go over a series of arguments and rhetorical traps that we’ve seen play out numerous times over the years. This is how the mind viruses get past peoples defense mechanisms, infect them, and the then spread to other people.

It’s long, but its a must listen if you want to understand what we’re up against. There’s a number of tricks involved that all work together. Trojan horses, buzz saws, anamorphic arguments and more.

There’s timestamps all over the youtube video with specific examples so you can pick and choose if you like but really you need to hear the whole thing.

Audio only version here. 

Weinstein’s analogy with anamorphic art makes sense but I think a better one is forced perspective. 

 

Lomborg vs Climate Cult

Climate Cult Little Known Facts There Goes The Narrative 18 Comments

From The Australian

I have personally been on the receiving end of this climate alarmism enforcement for years. Last week, I was scheduled to give a public lecture at Duke University in the US when a group of climate-politicised professors – some who write for the UN Climate Panel – publicly asked Duke to cancel my appearance.

The political forces looking to spend the climate trillions and the academia segment supplying the fear want to scrub the climate debate of anything but the scariest scenarios. They want an unwavering allegiance to vigorous spending on climate policy, no matter its effectiveness.

They insist on treating this issue as a moral binary choice instead of a realistic balancing of costs and effectiveness which would allow for our many other challenges to be heard as well.

Certainly, the professors at Duke didn’t want anyone to hear dissenting facts.

Read the rest.

Here it is on Fox hopefully not paywalled.

Here’s the lecture they wanted canceled.

I’m sure its nothing

Guess who’s the least prepared for a jump in interest rates.

Canadians Spend 65% More Income Servicing Debt Than Americans, Highest In G7

Canada’s household debt service ratio (DSR) is manageable, but far from normal. An addiction to cheap credit and expensive housing  has led to an epic borrowing spree. Households in the country now devote more of their income to paying off debt than any other country in the G7. Not by a little either — over 50% higher than any of its advanced economy peers.

I wonder where we might have gotten this idea from.  (scroll down to “not inklessPW”)

Debt Defaults: coming to a city near you

It's Probably Nothing Little Known Facts 20 Comments

Remember when the central banks were tapering their asset purchases in the belief that the economy was strong enough that interest rates could “normalize”? There’s a reason why this narrative has disappeared down the memory hole. It’s not just because of Covid.

As Economist Daniel Lacalle points out in this article,  economies that are addicted to rising debt eventually find themselves unable to tolerate what historically seem like tiny increases in the rate of interest.

“What happens when the central bank makes the highest-quality and lowest-risk asset extremely expensive? That savers take more and more risk for lower yields in other assets and that the perception of risk is clouded, driving investors to take too much risk in equities and bonds because the central bank is manipulating the most important risk signal: rates.”

“A mild increase of US 10-year bond yields to 2%, a more than logical move considering inflation expectations and the recovery of the economy, may cause a financial crisis not because of this modest rise, but because of the massive level of risk built in the economy from the prior artificial depression of those yields.”

I have to disagree with Lacalle on one point: I think the economy will be hit by a wave of debt default long before we see rapidly accelerating prices for consumer goods. The main concern of many folks will not be the price of a steak, but their ability to make the next mortgage payment on a million dollar home.
