Viroliegy

Mike Stone runs a website called Viroliegy, and I subscribe to his newsletter. I just added it to the blogroll. I like his work and know that he has a sharp mind, but without tooting my own horn note that everything he has written about in his newsletter has been covered here. I and my commenters and readers are not ahead of him, just with him. For instance, his mother came to the U.S. from abroad, and within three years was dead, according to Stone, killed by doctors. He doesn’t say exactly how she died, but does say that she tested positive for HIV. From his emphasis, it appears that might have been her death sentence – not a virus, but rather, a cure for a supposed virus.

He appears to have believed in the science fraud going on behind AIDS, but came awake at that time. Not woke – awake.

Hush, journalists! Michael Mann is on trial …

Have you ever seen one of these dramatic courtroom presentations where, upon leaving the courthouse, the lawyers and defendants are swarmed by journalists and cameras? I can’t be sure, but I do not think that happens in real life. Journalists are kept not on leashes, but rather choke chains. As Ben Bagdakian (1920-2016) made clear in his book , The Media Monopoly (1983), young journalists are trained to rein in their curiosity, to not get emotionally involved, to get a quote from both sides and move on. TV drama would have them off the leash looking for stories, challenging powerful people, and in general, being a pain in the ass to the comfortable … doing their job. Ain’t so. Ain’t done. I know this from my own life experiences … journalists do not know how to do the one thing that one would think was their calling … to search for truth.

There’s a trial going on now in Washington, DC, and I will bet, dear reader, that you’ve not heard a word about it. It is Michael Mann versus Mark Steyn in a defamation suit brought my Mann twelve years ago, now finally coming to trial. If you wonder how bad our justice system is, twelve years says everything. Steyn has tried to get this case to trial and Mann has delayed every step of the way, as the suit was not brought in search of justice, but rather to silence critics by example. Mann is supported by unseen forces behind this group – [Climate Science Legal Defense Fund].  The group is obviously a front for the wealthy and powerful people who are backing the climate change psyop and Mann (he called them “our closeted friends” in the Climategate emails), so that he has never paid one thin dime for his efforts to silence his critics.

Grizzly Bear Delisting: First as Tragedy, now as farce

Grizzly Bear Delisting:  First as tragedy, now as farce.

By: Steve Kelly, former POM Writer

Human intolerance, malevolence and habitat destruction spanning two centuries has caused the extermination of grizzly bears over 99% of its historical range.

Grizzly bears were finally listed as a threatened species in 1975 under the protection of the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA).

I got nuthin’

Conan O’Brien is a very popular comedian, and a man I regard as seriously and naturally funny. I knew very little about him until a couple of years ago when I tuned into an interview he did with Mel Brooks. I did so for Brooks, not O’Brien, but found Conan to be engaging and funny. He is also known to be nice to his employees and kind to people in general. I have learned since discovering him for myself that he does not speak ill of anyone when on air, and probably not in private either.

O’Brien comes from a family of six, raised in Brookline, MA, a suburb of Boston. He graduated from Harvard and to do so wrote an unreadable historical thesis. While at Harvard, he one day with a friend visited the Harvard Lampoon, and found his home. He became a comedy writer, never imagining that anyone would actually pay him to write like that. After graduating, he wrote for a show called Not Necessarily the News. I remember that show and watched it whenever it was on in my younger years when entertainment was not everywhere around us. Hosted by Rich Hall, it became highly regarded for its “Sniglets, or funny and satirical one-liners. One I remember clearly was labeling the square in the upper right of an envelope that said “Affix stamp here” as the “idiot box”. I have a hunch O’Brien wrote that. His observational humor is timeless. (He avoids topical humor – look elsewhere for Biden/Trump jokes.)

The end of snow predicted in 2000 … and 2014 … and 2024

Have you ever had the experience of having seen something, and then realizing later that you were probably just remembering a dream?

OK, it’s just me. I’m the crazy one, right? 

So anyway, we were in Fort Myers, and I was walking down a concourse in an airport, and there was a stack of USA Today’s, and the headline read “Snow will soon be a thing of the past.”

Dynamic Silence

I have long known this to be the case, in fact, the only reason this and other dissident blogs even exist (including Miles Mathis). From Fakeologist:

This contrasts the usual method of handling legitimate dissidents, by way of “dynamic silence“. Allegedly invented by ADL-B’nai Brith member “rabbi” Abraham Feinberg of the American Jewish Committee in 1947, dynamic silence involves ignoring the dissidents as if they didn’t exist and preventing them from reaching any significant audience exposure, thus, they and their potentially damaging message(s) are contained.

In fact, I read one time that comments could be structured so that only the person writing the comment could see the comment, invisible to everyone else. That’s chilling. I wonder if it is in effect as we speak?

Cure for the common cold-like symptoms

We’ve been traveling and are currently staying in Fort Myers, Florida. Twice is not a trend, probably just coincidence, but last time here a few years ago, I came down with sniffles and sneezes and a hacking cough. That last time it happened, I returned home to Colorado thinking I would have a week to ten days to recover from a cold, which was all I thought of it. I was very surprised to completely recover in one-half day, including the plane trip.

This time I have been trying to come up with alternative explanations. One was sand flies. We were in Grand Turk, and the front of my legs is covered with bites. I don’t spend time on the beach, only pass through it on my way to the water, so I wondered where they got me. Turns out it was the open-air restaurant where we ate… I wore shorts the entire time, and that explains why they only got the front of my legs.

I looked up toxic effects of sand fly bites, and there are really none beyond itching and red pustules. So my Fort Myers effect must be something else.

The other morning as we got in our car, there was a mosquito inside, and we swooped it out.  Then I realized something: We are in lush green area with lots of water around, and there are no bugs!  Our aunt says they spray regularly, and every restaurant, park, beach and business that entertains people outdoors sprays for bugs. Early explorers here must have had to cover up despite the heat to avoid being eaten alive.

Here’s my guess: I am having an allergic reaction to chemicals used to control bugs. Our aunt says our cousin, who comes down often from Connecticut, has the same reaction. Home in Colorado, at 7,800 feet, we have few bugs,  naturally, and no agriculture around us with fertilizers and pesticides and the like. So we live relatively pure lives, and some of us are affected when we travel to places that depend on tourism and so treat pests.

The people who live here have adapted, I would say.

CTII and CISA and censorship

Jeffrey A. Tucker wrote an interesting op-ed in Epoch Times (6-12 Dec 2023): The Censorship Began Earlier and Went Further Than We Thought. He talks about one governmental agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and a private organization, the Cyber Threat Intelligence League (CITL). Working hand in hand, these are the people who harassed and shut everyone down during Covid, including banning people at Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and any other forum that had before seemed to allow free input. The whole thing was in planning stages in 2018 and ready to be released on 3/11/2020.

Tucker writes about it in ‘now it can be told’ fashion. I have the impression that he does not realize 1) that in 2018 it was known in  inner circles that Covid was on the way, and that 2) the censorship here, there and everywhere is nothing new.

Buffalo genocide (or how history rhymes its repetitions)

By: Steve Kelly (former writer for POM)

60 million wild, migratory buffalo once wandered freely across the North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.

Many are unfamiliar with the immense collective violence visited upon wild buffalo under the doctrine of Christian discovery and Manifest Destiny, as first imagined and articulated by Pope Alexander VI in his papal bull (Inter Caetera) of 1493 to the ‘royal’ Christian ruling families of Portugal and Spain.

Bill Maher: Taking a little bit of talent a long, long way

Pete HamNote to readers, 12/16/2023: I am re-posting this piece written in 2020. Ab at Fakeologist ran a video clip that has several prominent people who claim to have taken the vaccination now claiming to have been made ill and regretting it. Bill Maher was one of them. Of course that is a joke, in my view. Prominent insiders do not vax. So what is Maher up to?  Like always, just reading his lines.

I saw the musician named Pete Ham and immediately saw Bill Maher. If you cannot see what I saw, I am now marketing eyewear called Perception Affection, glasses you wear. After a week or so the world clears up for you. You will look at Pete Ham and wonder “how could I not see that! He’s now Bill Maher!” What follows are my 2020 observations, with comments underneath intact.

___________________________

I spent part of this morning reading the Wikipedia page on Bill Maher. To the left is a photo of him in his early twenties. I look back on such hair styles with a sense of “presentism,” that we should not judge past styles, even things like mullets, as uncool. They made sense at the time. But I must say, the look does not become Maher, who seems just a tad dorky.

Where am I going with this, you wonder? The photo above is said to be not one of Bill Maher, but rather a British rock star who faked his death in 1975, Pete Ham. He was a lead singer and “songwriter” for the group Badfinger. But I look at that photo and think “I see you, you son of a bitch, Maher. I see you. You cannot hide from me.
