The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 9/8/21

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and the observation that the more the unmitigated lies put out by the junta in DC and its propagandists of virtually everything we are dealing with are exposed and dismantled, the more the junta and its propagandists do everything they can to strangle dissent. As this vicious cycle will no doubt continue, history has shown over and over again that at some point the word "strangle" will transform from the figurative to the literal.

First, we have the catastrophe of Afghanistan in which Joe Bovine-spongiform-encephalopathy insists that the complete clusterfuck bug-out was a success and that every American who wanted to get out got out. Except for the hundreds that he claims didn't want to get out or deny even being in country. In order to ensure that that fantasy becomes reality, the State Department is actually preventing their departure.

According to Fox News, the State Department is withholding the necessary approval that will allow privately chartered flights from Afghanistan to land in third countries. The administration is saying that it's too dangerous to let these planes land at Defense Department airbases:

The State Department refused to grant official approval for private evacuation flights from Afghanistan to land in third countries, even though the department conceded that official authorization would likely be needed for planes to land in those nations, an email reviewed by Fox News shows.
Furthermore, the State Department explicitly stated that charter flights, even those containing American citizens, would not be allowed to land at Defense Department (DOD) airbases. U.S. officials have pointed to possible security threats from landing charter planes at military bases, saying that they lack the resources on the ground to fully verify flight manifests.
The Biden [junta's] delaying of private evacuation efforts has been a widespread source of frustration, infuriating rescue organizers and even a prominent Democratic senator.
That sounds very noble, doesn't it? The State Department is making sure that Americans, at home and abroad (except for those abroad in Afghanistan) are safe.
This newfound nobility is a stark contrast to the way in which the Biden [junta], whether in the White House, the State Department, or the Pentagon, managed the evacuation before it the military took its last boots off the ground in Afghanistan. Although the administration claims that only 100 or so Americans remain in Afghanistan, Rep. Darrell Issa believes that the real number is closer to 500-1000 Americans whom the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan.
I would posit that even more remain behind because, before the pullout, Biden himself admitted that there were 10,000 to 15,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan. In the end, those planes leaving Afghanistan before the U.S. pulled out carried only 6,000 Americans. I'm not good at math, but that tells me that 4,000 to 9,000 were left behind. . .
. . . So, that means that fewer than 15,000 people who were American citizens or Afghan allies got on those flights. Except the Biden administration has boasted that it got 116,000 people out during those last frenzied days. So, where were the remaining 100,000? We have no idea. About 500 are known terrorists but how many are "unknown" terrorists? Again, we have no idea. It didn't matter. The Biden [junta] willingly took in over 100,000 people from a country in which 99% of the people support sharia law. . .
. . . Once again, one is left wondering whether it's possible for the Biden [junta] to be so stupid, incompetent, and cruel by accident, or if there is a method to its madness.

As this is unfolding, he and Veep Throat Harris will be heading to California to campaign for Gavin Newsom, which is odd since the polling indicates he'll handily beat the recall effort. And then on Thursday, Biden is set to derogate the American people in a televised address dealing with the Chinese Lung Aids pandemic that he insisted he would end shortly after the magic show installed him last January 20th. Hold that thought for a moment.

I have the impression that not only does Biden, or more accurately those who are feeding him ice cream and his teleprompter bullshit, even care about a potential mass hostage crisis. I think the Biden Junta is actively rooting for or even encouraging the Taliban to get rid of the problem for them: I mean, execute perhaps hundreds of American citizens just for Biden's own political expediency.

Yeah, I went there. Biden is a sociopath; the dementia merely amplifies it. What's worse, he is surrounded by people who are equally ruthless in their lust for power, be it ideologically driven or greed or some combination of both. That they view an unknown number of their own citizens as expendable, and merely the means to their own evil ends has horrifying implications in the near and long term for us and whatever the hell is left of the free world.

Psaki-psircling back to the Chinese Lung Rot, we learned yesterday that the lifetime technocratic vole whose actions exacerbated the AIDS crisis, Anthony Fauci collaborated even more than we had imagined with the Chi-Coms in engineering Frankenstein viruses, the mildest of which they accidentally, or accidentally on purpose, unleashed on the world perhaps as far back as the summer of 2019.

But the reaction from the junta and their propaganda arm is to cover up, obfuscate or attack anyone who dares speak of it.

This morning, The Intercept published an article showing grant documents that experts say demonstrate that Dr. Anthony Fauci's agency knowingly funded gain-of-function research in China. The funds allowed researchers to conduct studies during the Obama administration's ban on that type of research. Some are saying this research may well have been the origin of [Chinese] COVID-19. Our sister site RedState first reported on this in May.
Fauci has appeared before Congress several times and emphatically denied his agency funded this type of research -- even in the face of a 2015 study that referred to the work as gain-of-function research. You would think he might be huddled up with communications experts and members of the Biden administration to decide how to resign quietly. That way, Fauci could avoid an inspector general's investigation and more appearances before Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Instead, Fauci appeared on CNN. Far from asking any hard-hitting questions about the report, host Jim Sciutto never discussed the shocking revelations about the research grants, nor did he ask Fauci how the news squared with his repeated congressional testimony.
Instead, Sciutto asked Fauci to evaluate Florida Governor Ron Desantis's response to [Chinese] COVID-19 and pontificate about college football games. The interview kicked off with Fauci expressing his concern over children too young to be vaccinated returning to school without masks. Children who are too young to be vaccinated rarely become seriously ill from [Chinese] COVID-19 -- even the American Academy of Pediatrics has admitted that the Delta variant is not more dangerous to children than previous ones, posing almost no risk to healthy children. . .
. . . As the interview continued, pictures of college football fans at outdoor stadiums flashed on the screen. Most fans were maskless. Fauci and Sciutto expressed their concern for the fans. Fauci said that if people continue to behave like this, America may remain in outbreak mode. These two can't see how wringing their hands about vaccinated people returning to normal life decreases confidence in the vaccines they want you to take. Here's a dirty little secret: There will be outbreaks of [Chinese] COVID-19 for the rest of our lives. According to The Intercept report, it is quite possible that we have Dr. Anthony Fauci to thank for that. And CNN did not ask him a single question about it.

The propagandists are engaging in a full court press to demonize ivermectin, regeneron and other therapeutics while downplaying the efficacy or dangers of these vaccines by labeling it all "conspiracy theories" and "anti-science." And the heat is on now to force everyone to get the shot or face de facto internal exile as a political prisoner. Of all places, look at what's happening in Australia.

This government - this ILLEGITIMATE government - has all but consigned hundreds of Americans to death in Afghanistan to establish and maintain a laughable facade of competence and patriotism. Several governors have already murdered thousands of elderly nursing home patients by forcing the infected to lodge in their facilities. They've stolen elections, wiped out our economy, stolen our freedoms, crippled our defenses and brainwashed our children, among other depredations. There is nothing they will not do. They have no moral compass or red line they will not cross because they believe they have a moral imperative to maintain power at all costs.

20 People usually have some understandable angle for what they want. Cui bono in Afghanistan? China, I guess. But the hostage situation seems gratuitous. Who wins if the Taliban ask for ransom and don't get it, or even if they do? The worst of all of this is it only makes sense if the junta really hates America. Are they so delusional that they think paradise is available in China?

This was my question. I could see how State could possibly prevent repatriation (or make it a lengthy, expensive and difficult process) but not dictate terms to third parties. My thought was that they have taken what appears to be a rubber-stamp formality done as a courtesy but with little or no legal meaning, and then weaponized it.

Like everything else done by every agency is now a weapon.

They are expendable. Everyone is expendable. What this expense is buying is a lack of being shown up by somebody else. I suspect that's it, and this is being done for "optics" and pride.

I am sure some people in the Biden Maladministration remember the headlines in Texas after Ross Perot sent his mercenaries to Iran, triggered a prison riot and mass escape, got TI's employees and contractors, convoyed to the border, traded the vehicles for passage, and then snuck out in order to get his men home. Headlines like "PEROT 2, AYATOLLAH 0" were a humiliation for Jimmy Carter. Joe Biden will suffer no such humiliations.

How can I tell if I have the Delta variant? Do labs report that to the state?
1) That information may not be readily available.
2) The viral tests that are used to determine if a person has COVID-19 are not designed to tell you what variant is causing the infection.
3)Detecting the Delta variant, or other variants, requires a special type of testing called genomic sequencing. 4) Due to the volume of COVID-19 cases, sequencing is not performed on all viral samples.
4)However, because the Delta variant now accounts for the majority of COVID-19 cases in the United States, there is a strong likelihood that a positive test result indicates infection with the Delta variant.
5) THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT

That only has to do with items of social construction. You have to feed into, validate, support and promote their pathologies (homosexuality, racism, gender confusion, sexual deviance, etc.) or you're a monster. You have to treat them as *they* wish, making yourself subservient to them.

In matters that are not socially constructed, though, this doesn't apply. The pandemic isn't a social construct like other stuff such as sex and gender, you see. No such "platinum rule" is required or even desirable in that case. You have to be compelled to do the right thing.

Compulsion is the theme, as always. You will be compelled to mouth the words and support the deviant. You will be compelled to get the shots. You will be slave.

==================

They are sending Biden there to help boost Biden's numbers not to help Newsome. Newsome has the election cheat in the bag... so when joe campaigns for Newsome and Newsome wins it will make Joe look like he was the reason... and the MSM will crow loud and long about it too.

Some surely have bought into it. Many have not, and are still wearing their masks. My parent's neighbor, for example, is in this camp. She will now sometimes walk next door to visit my mom, but wears her mask. Absurd.

Most, I suspect, didn't really buy into it. They just use it for what it is: an excuse to stop. Social pressure and state/corporate officiousness are very real. Honesty is very real, too. Most people probably won't just violate the mandate. They will get the shot and then stop, whether the shot works or not. Many of them probably don't much care one way or another - they just wanted a way to stop without lying.

95 2) The viral tests that are used to determine if a person has COVID-19 are not designed to tell you what variant is causing the infection.
3)Detecting the Delta variant, or other variants, requires a special type of testing called genomic sequencing.
4) Due to the volume of COVID-19 cases, sequencing is not performed on all viral samples.
5)However, because the Delta variant now accounts for the majority of COVID-19 cases in the United States, there is a strong likelihood that a positive test result indicates infection with the Delta variant.

Wow.

Everybody requires, or at least encourages, masking because of "the science" but mostly because it requires no effort by them. In my area, only Costco still has a person sanitizing shopping carts and that it spotty. This despite the fact that doing so would be more efficacious than masks. But it wouldn't be a strain on people's psyche.

Well, it can. Assuming periodic statistically-sound test sequencing to form a baseline, you can determine whether "delta" dominates in a given area. You don't need to sequence every test sample to build an adequate data set for extrapolation. If you find that "delta" is present in 75% of a statistically-valid sample, it is a safe assumption - though not a guarantee - that most positive COVID tests are due to "delta."

This of course presuppose that the testing itself is good, that the statistical methods are good, that the genome sequencing is good, that the error rate is small, etc. We know at least one of these is not true (test efficacy - we know there is conflation with influenza and a high false-positive rate).

Right. It is their duty to take, and your duty to provide.

Wanna get real on "cultural appropriation?" Okay. I do, too. Industrial production methods and the technology that makes it possible - interchangeable parts, automation, assembly lines, energy production, etc. - largely source from three countries: the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. Places like France and Canada get "strong second-tier contributor" status. What do these all have in common? They're all Western European or descendants from the same.

In the name of ending cultural appropriation, I call on all Asian, South American, African and Eastern European countries to shutter their factories, end their industrial development, and revert to their native early-industrial, pre-industrial or pre-agricultural states. It's only fair. Industrial culture is ours. We conceived it. We invented it. We developed it. Those other people having factories is the greatest extant example of cultural appropriation.

Actually, that IS how it works. It's called sampling and testing; every QC department does it for the widgits they make. No one does 100% testing, except maybe a motherboard producer or the like. You take random samples, maybe 2% or 4% of the day's production, and test for defects.

Or in this case, sequence for the delta variant. You can predict with high confidence if your sample pool is large and your randomization is actually random.

Not one person alive can escape those thoughts to some degree. I truly believe they are your individual life's lessons, and with G*d's help, you find the meaning behind them.

I suspect you underestimate yourself. I have always considered myself to be a forgettable person...I rather work at it, actually.

When I was young, I moved around a lot. As luck would have it, I started college in the same town I started elementary school. One day, as a freshman, I was at work and this attractive young woman walked up and asked if I was (uses my name). I said, yes, and she said that she remembered me from the 2nd grade. It's been mumble-mumble years since then but that stuck with me.

I don't even particularly like it, but it has always irked me that it got stolen because it's hard to find and has been the one CD I was unable to replace after being robbed. An alert I had set popped and I picked it up.

It is an obscure little electro-pop outfit who's following - such as it is - is largely young (now middle-aged), female and European. The seller is a older male Boomer retired in Arizona. That's the most surprising source I can think of. It takes all kinds, I guess.

249 New Study Shows Breakthrough Infection Risk Not All It's Cracked Up to Be

1 in 10,000 chance of "breakthrough" infection is 0.01%. So a 99.99% chance of no infection.

Which is the same chance of survival of COVID-19 for the vast majority of the world's population.

COVID-19 overall survival rate is 99.74%. This has been known since summer 2020.

253 I keep seeing the word "sociopath" used and then the description of the behavior given is that of a "psychopath", a much more dangerous and deranged type of behavior.

We aren't dealing with sociopaths, but rather psychopaths, i.e., people who do not recognize the humanity or even the reality of other human beings and are ruthlessly interested only in their own diabolical needs.

Another term for folks like Biden, et al. is: "Diabolical Narcissists". People who revel in openly harming innocent people, knowing that they are too powerful or protected to be called to account for their evil actions.

Psychopaths are similar to DNs and communists in that there is only one guaranteed way of dealing with them . . .

262 Happy Birthday Hadrian!

At 64, I share plenty of your feelings. I didn't live up to my expectations for myself on many levels.

Anyway, over the course of the plandemic, I was contacted by several people I had not heard from since my undergrad days, and a few from high school. Most of these relationships were due to time and place and nothing really in common, and none of us gave the others a ton of support and reasons to look back fondly, but that was ok. We had many long phone chats, continue to email and text, and reminisced like crazy.

I think there's something like "reconciling the beginnings of your life and career with their conclusion" going on. It's a normal thing.

I was surprised in every case by the contacts. One of the people actually called to essentially apologize for something that happened in 1976.

We've all had a lot of time to remember and regret.

Guess how many yearly influenza cases occur on average the last 10 years in USA. 29.6 million

Guess how many hospitalizations. 442,000

This Plandemic has been created by counting all the influenza cases, hospitalizations and deaths as "COVID-19".

Sounds like you're feeling depressed. I don't know if that's because you feel down because of the day, or surrounding world situations, or whether you are affected by clinical depression, or all of those.. As this guy says in an article about Christians and depression (because he has been affected by both anxiety and depression) our feelings are our feelings; It doesn't mean they're accurate. I don't think there are many people who haven't felt like they could have accomplished more-well, maybe Jeff Bezos doesn't feel that way but he's an extremely wealthy a@@. I would encourage you to think about the things you have accomplished and that there are people in your life who love you and are grateful for your presence in their life;

337 John Hayward (Doc0) Thread:

If you're applauding someone losing their job because they privately expressed a political idea you disagree with, you are either implicitly conceding that YOU could be punished the same way by those who disagree with you... or you are a totalitarian and flirting with fascism. [ ... ]

You can't convince totalitarians to back down because THEY might one day be punished for expressing their views. They don't think they'll ever lose the power they wield. THEIR morality is sacred and could never be suppressed. They don't think oppression is objectively wrong.

If you think that last sentence is harsh, just chat with anyone who thinks it's great that dissenters from their political orthodoxy are getting fired, demonetized, or deplatformed. It's not hard to get them to agree that dissenters are dangerous or evil and deserve oppression.

So if you want to fight back, if you want to preserve your rights to speak and organize as dissenters, you need to develop your own totalitarian muscle. You need to organize and demonstrate that you will aggressively retaliate if your views are oppressed. Aspire to detente.

This is especially the case when the leadership of the dissenting party makes it clear they will not use government power to shield dissidents against unfair treatment and private sector reprisals, because it violates their principles. They won't play the game, so YOU have to.

Dissidents must develop the same muscle. Make politically activist corporations afraid of you. Make it clear you will retaliate if they oppress you. Make it unthinkable that you should be silenced for exercising your Constitutional rights to speak and organize.

Totalitarianism masquerades as order, but in truth it's ultimately barbaric: there are no principles, no inalienable rights, no logic: only exercises of power and fear, where aggression is rewarded. Play offense or lose slowly. That's the definition of cancel culture.

362 On February 4, 2021, Merck, which is readying release of its new COVID-19 treatment drug, molnupiravir, issued a press release about that new drug's competition, ivermectin Merck itself had developed ivermectin, now off-patent, for human use, securing FDA approval in 1987, and distributed most of its 3.7 billion doses safely used worldwide since. It was thus curious that Merck's press release about use of ivermectin for COVID expressed "a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies."

It appears that Merck is trying to sabotage off-patent ivermectin so it can promote on-patent molnupiravir

There seems to be accumulating evidence that what Regeneron is making is a decent drug. But I don't see how it'll get much traction if they charge $2,000 a dose for it, which they say they're going to. Pfizer is cheap and works fine.
