Perceptions gone awry
“I also noted that the painting of DiCaprio outside of his house made him look almost exactly like Jack Nicholson. Most of you probably missed that, but I didn’t since I have written about it previously. There is a theory online that Leo is Jack’s son, though I didn’t come up with it. In that paper I guessed that they were related, but probably not as father/son. However, I read this latest reveal as Tarantino telling me I was wrong. I think he is telling us that Leo is indeed Jack’s son. That’s just my gut reaction, but as you may know my gut has proven to have amazing powers of perception.” (Miles Mathis, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)
I have not seen Once Upon a Time, and am not familiar with the scene he is talking about. I would have left this alone, as I have no personal beef with Miles and like much of his work. However, that last line about “amazing powers of perception” left me with jaw dropped perhaps two inches. It also sent me to my photo files, as Leo DiCaprio is, or was, listed here as a Matt Damon lookalike.
All of this work from the past few years is collected in various files, so I can very quickly run faces side-by-side. It has been a while, but I did some work, and the problem that I encountered was that DiCaprio was not lining up well with Damon or any of the other Damon match-ups. He is, however, in near perfect alignment with Jack Nicholson.
“Paul” McCartney is a pig
I mentioned in a comment in Fauxlex’s post how if this were the 1960s, people might be gathering in the streets in protest. I am not sure I believe that. Even as we do not have “protests” anywhere these days unless organized by professional agitators and staged for news cameras, I don’t know if it was different then. But I could be wrong. It could be that people were less submissive back then.
Coronasunday … a few matters concerning the panic attack
We are off for the day on another senior citizen hiking adventure, so if comments go to moderation I won’t be here to free them. Remember that WordPress as a two-link maximum. Other comments go to moderation for reasons I do not understand. For instance, Jon LeBon, a real person of solid mind and good intentions, is automatically put in moderation whenever he comments here. I asked WP to look into the matter, and they did, and came up empty.
I have asked Fauxlex to keep an eye on the moderation bin, but you never know, he might be busy today too, maybe watching March Madness … oh … wait …
AB has put up a centralized link to give everyone an opportunity to listen and look at various matters of evidence and opinion.
Also, there is this link, from an Alexei Kyrilloff comment that leads to a long document published in November of 2018 from the US Patent Office concerning a matter known as “Coronavirus.” I have not have time to do anything other than skim the comprehensible parts, but will do so tomorrow morning. That still does not guarantee comprehension, but it appears at a glance that Coronavirus was patented for use in treatment of bronchitis and as a tool in making better vaccines. If that is the case, someone just grabbed it off the shelf for an alternative use, a mass panic.

Far from the madding crowd … is not possible
We got back from a ski trip earlier today, Nordic skiing and late in the year. There were very few people at a place that has 180 kilometers of trails. It was quiet and away from the madding crowd.
After return I went to the local supermarket for a few things for breakfast sausage recipe that I make. The parking lot was full. I thought that perhaps the snow we were experiencing was going to be a much bigger storm and that people were stocking up. I looked at the weather forecast … no such thing. Just a light dusting.

There is no Coronavirus …
There is only fear. It is, however, highly contagious.
I am going skiing. I will be sure to wear a face mask. You never know. I could catch it from a wandering moose.
Perhaps it is not evil, just stupid
I was xc skiing today and had time to think and reflect. I think they key here is the conference held in NYC in October … see posts below. Suppose these are real people, and not spooks, but people who believe that we can have a virus pandemic, having studied Michael Crichton (Andromeda Strain) and Stephen King (The Stand). If that is the case, they want to test our preparedness and measure the fallout of such a pandemic. So they decide, with government approvals around the world, to run a drill. News media, as always is compliant.
The face of news
This video came to mind as I saw all the news readers out there pushing the Coronavirus hoax. They are not scholars. They are not “journalists,” if that word has meaning. They are hired because they are good looking and seem trustworthy and can be taught to read a teleprompter. Example follows, well known, but worth another look.
Hobgoblinvirus
“We’ll know our disinformation program complete when everything the American public believes is false.”(William Casey, Director of CIA for eight years under President Reagan)*
The above quote came to mind as I looked about me seeing the stampede that Coronavirus has become. It reminded me of another quote:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” (HL Mencken)
That in mind, the virus should be renamed “hobgoblinvirus.”
I am writing this post to link to AB over at Fakeologist, who has been doing really good work on this hoax. I am not going to reinvent the wheel, just comment briefly on what he has brought us so far.
Alphabetic nonsense
The above photo is the final of a girls’ 55 meter dash at Bloomfield High School in Connecticut. The two people finishing first and second are Terry Miller (second from left) and Andraya Yearwood, far left. They both have (or had) penises. Their bodies are obviously those of male athletes. The three who finished after them on the right are obviously girls. Boys are generally better athletes than girls.
Three youths with vaginas and their families have initiated a lawsuit in federal court to prevent boys who think they are girls from competing in events that should be restricted to girls. Says Yearwood,
“I have known two things for most of my life: I am a girl and I love to run. There is no shortage of discrimination that I face as a young Black woman who is transgender. I have to wake up every day in a world where people who look like me face so many scary and unfair things. I am lucky to live in a state that protects my rights and to have a family that supports me. This is what keeps me going.”
