Libraries: "The only way I could make sense of the contradiction was to conclude that the real commitment being demonstrated wasn’t to principle per se, but rather to politics."

It took this author until 2019 to figure this out?

It's a well written piece, but hard to be impressed by someone that dense.

Re: Pre-K "Providing all children with a prekindergarten education is one of the best investments a society can make."

That's pure bullshit. The ONLY reason for Pre-K is to create more union workers who will vote Democrat and to give welfare moms free stuff so they will vote Democrat. Kids this age should be with their mothers and family. And since we know government schools are designed to spread propaganda I would advise parents to home school their children. At least home school the kids you love and want to succeed. If you don't care than send them to pre-K.

#3 OneGuy on 2022-02-08 09:50 (Reply)

Absolutely true.

It was pretty pathetic to read this guy criticize several studies as not being "conclusive" while offering flimsier evidence to support his preference.

Basically, 50 years ago if you took kids out of the worst homes and put them with caring adults, you saw some benefits for that select group.

So the argument becomes take all kids and put them into propaganda factories, insisting you'll see benefits.

That argument is structured so poorly that it is practically self-evident that it is wholly wrong. Fortunately, for the skeptics who want evidence, there are reams of data that demonstrate that taking kids from solid, two-parent homes and putting them in daycare has been incredibly detrimental...to their intellectual abilities and to their emotional stability and maturity.

Even keeping children at home in one-parent domiciles is better than pre-K/daycare, despite the financial challenges.

#3.1 DrTorch (Link) on 2022-02-08 10:16 (Reply)

Of course putting 4 yr olds in an 8-hour work-a-day is bad for them. It's free day care and everyone knows it. Few people will admit it because so many use it. Many mothers instinctively know this, but drop their kids off anyway because it's considered socially normal. It's inherently abnormal.

Reading, writing, and basic math should be pre-requisites for entering school. And school shouldn't start until sometime around 10 years old.

Children should not be raised by strangers.

The Canadian police are seizing food and fuel from the truckers. Is this legal? Can they come into your home and seize your food and fuel if you disagree with the government? This is a dangerous precedent and seems to be a conditioning or training to possibly seize food and fuel from others in the future. This is exactly what the Communist government of Russia did in 1932 to Ukraine which killed 8 million people. Do we want our police just seizing our food and fuel? Should there be a judicial or legislative control over what the police and politicians can do? Is there a law in Canada about having food and fuel that justifies this? Wake up Canada your government has turned communist.

Caveat emptor, but this was posted yesterday

Hello,

My name is Beth Ann Wright, an attorney in the United States.

I have been watching the TruckersForFreedom with interest. This evening I saw a video that purports to be Canadian police officers in Ottawa seizing fuel from truckers posted with a timestamp of 6:35 pm CST by Rebel News (in a message forwarded from Covid Red Pills channel) in the TruckersForFreedom Telegram channel.

These Canadian police officers are committing War Crimes in violation of GENEVA CONVENTION RELATIVE TO THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS IN TIME OF WAR OF AUGUST 12, 1949, ARTICLE 30 -- APPLICATION TO PROTECTING POWERS AND RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS, PARAGRAPH 1. -- RIGHT OF COMMUNICATION, 1. PRINCIPLE, p. 174. See also THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS OF 12 AUGUST 1949 COMMENTARY, Jean S. PICTET, pp. 213-215.

The Truckers and other members of the public are "Protected Persons" under Article 30, and have the "absolute right" to "protest" inter alia and receive "material relief" from "any organization that might assist them." Moreover, the Canadian police force has an affirmative duty such that the "Detaining or Occupying Powers [the Canadian police force] shall facilitate as much as possible visits to protected persons by the representatives of other organizations whose object is to give spiritual aid or material relief to such persons" inter alia. Id.

Therefore, the Canadian police officers are committing War Crimes against Protected Persons under the Geneva Convention 4, Article 30, Paragraph 1, 1. Principle by seizing fuel from Protected Persons. The Canadian police are advised to immediately Cease and Desist such War Crimes. The Protected Persons are advised to remain peaceful; record the names and images of anyone potentially committing War Crimes; and, request assistance from "Protecting Powers," namely, the Global Military Alliance. See id.

Beth Ann Wright, JD, OTR/L

Germany is reporting a 2000% increase in deaths of healthy 18-64 yo people. It also tracks the relationship between their vax and the deaths and it seems to be deaths of recently vaccinated people. This is happening in the U.S. as well but less accurately reported. It appears that this vax is deadly and is killing our citizens. I think as this becomes more and more obvious that there will be a price to pay for those who took away our health choices.

Erasmus (from link): "In an interview with Milena Preradovic, Lausen said he had calculated that based on the accounting data from German hospitals, the jabs have led to an alarming incidence of serious side effects that have required medical intervention."

That's not the same claim as Anon made. It's not "Germany is reporting" and it's not "a 2000% increase in deaths of healthy 18-64 yo people." It's possible Anon simply misstated or misunderstood the claim, which is that there is a purported 21-fold increase in adverse reactions to vaccination.

In your link, the claim is made by a single individual in an interview, not a published scientific analysis. In Germany, there were about 2,000 reported deaths after 120,000,000 vaccination doses (0.0017%), though specific cases may or may not be due to vaccination. This is similar to VAERS reporting in the U.S., which does not establish causation without additional evidence. That's because, in any 30 day period, some people will die regardless of cause, depending largely on age and health.

Are you for forced immunization?

#7.1.1.1.1 B. Hammer on 2022-02-08 11:36 (Reply)

B. Hammer: Are you for forced immunization?

Immunization has long been required for all sorts of activities; to attend public schools, to work in healthcare, to commit to the armed forces. There is nothing new or extraordinary about that, and mandatory vaccination is deeply rooted in the common law. For instance, George Washington required his entire army to be subjected to variolated, a procedure which has a high death rate.

So yes, vaccines mandates can be appropriate, but mandates have to be reasonably tailored to necessity. With George Washington, battle readiness was of paramount importance, so the benefit was worth the risk to individual soldiers.

Near a million Americans have died from COVID, and people have a civic responsibility to take the threat seriously. But civic responsibility is a conservative prescription.

A million Americans have died and had a positive covid test for which the hospital was generously paid to put cause of death as covid.

indyjonesouthere: A million Americans have died and had a positive covid test for which the hospital was generously paid to put cause of death as covid.

The evidence clearly shows that COVID is the cause of nearly a million deaths in the U.S. The evidence includes the findings of doctors, medical examiners, autopsies, studies of death certificates, the crush of patients with respiratory ailments in hospitals, PCR tests, full genome sequencing, reports from mortuaries and funeral homes, and the statistics of excess deaths. This evidence can also be seen in subsets, in states, counties, and cities. This evidence can also be seen in other countries and subsets thereof.

There is no other reasonable alternative explanation.

The PCR test is useless. https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/15/fauci-admits-pcr-test-cannot-detect-infection/
Even the admin state developed test was discontinued at the end of 2021. The test they developed had no covid19 virus as one wasn't available at the time. They used the cold virus and a number of other viruses to do the "test". It was corrupt from the start and no one in the admin state was fired or fined for such corrupted behavior.
With unreliable test you only get unreliable cases and unreliable deaths. But when you provide cash to hospital admin you tend to get the results you want. Just like buying academia AGW results ... cash and carry evidence.

#7.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 indyjonesouthere on 2022-02-08 12:59 (Reply)

indyjonesouthere: The PCR test is useless.

It's not useless. It will find evidence of the virus, which could indicate a live infection or could be residual virus particles from a recent infection. (Virus particles are eliminated within a few weeks after the virus clears.) In addition, full genome sequencing has confirmed the wide applicability of PCR testing. That's not useless.

indyjonesouthere: Even the admin state developed test was discontinued at the end of 2021.

As explained to you several times previously, the old test was discontinued in lieu of a single test for both COVID and influenza.

indyjonesouthere: The test they developed had no covid19 virus as one wasn't available at the time.

They had the genetic sequence, which is all that is required.

Regardless, we pointed to many lines of evidence concerning deaths from COVID. Multiple lines of evidence pointing to the same result lends confidence to the conclusion.

OK, back from a road trip. The PCR test is not a diagnostic tool. Yet it was used for lockdowns and quarantines. It was used to boost "cases", which were not cases. It was used to boost death from covid when it should not have been used for that purpose. The PCR test was a tool used to lie to the public with a straight face. It was a tool used to pay out huge sums of money to hospital administrators ... just like using the Steele dossier, paid for by Clinton and the DNC, to promote more russia,russia,russia. The inventor of the PCR test said not to use it for diagnostics. Your statement of nearly a million people have died of covid can not be proven with the use of the PCR test. It picks up live, dead, or viruses that have the same virus segments of covid. Using this PCR test for any statistics is simply deceiving the reader.

indyjonesouthere: The PCR test is not a diagnostic tool.

The PCR test can accurately determine whether you have COVID or had COVID recently. If someone has a respiratory disease during an outbreak and tests positive for COVID, they almost certainly have COVID, which means it is a valid diagnostic tool.

indyjonesouthere: Yet it was used for lockdowns and quarantines.

A rise in positive tests is followed within a couple of weeks by a rise in hospitalizations and deaths.

The court ruling was preliminary and made its finding based on a number of considerations. In particular, the court said they should have confirmed by diagnosis by other means.

indyjonesouthere: As much as 97% unreliable.

Any diagnostic test can be 100% unreliable. Consider a test which has a very low rate of false positives. Given a prevalence of a disease of 0%, any and all positives will necessarily be false; that is 100% will be false positives. Conversely, if the actual prevalence of the disease is very high, then the false positives will represent only a small percentage of all positives.

DrTorch: Your reasoning by analogy fails. Humans are distinct in their conditions, unlike atoms.

So, per your reckoning, we can never know anything about humans as a group unless we dissect each and every one. Turns out that humans have hearts which pump blood, lungs which breathe air, they have an opening in one end into which they stuff other organisms for nourishment, and an opening in the other end to rid themselves of waste; they evolved from a common ancestor with other mammals; they grow old and they die. Turns out, we can make all sorts of supportable scientific claims about humans.

You show a misunderstanding of science. Science can rarely examine each and every case of any phenomenon, not every star, not every atom, not every supernova, not every volcano on Io. Yet, scientists can reach reasonable and supportable, albeit tentative conclusions. Indeed, that's the very nature of science: the ability to shine a light into the darkness and find some inkling of knowledge even while the vastness of the universe remains shrouded in mystery.

We have provided multiple scientific citations. Your handwaving doesn't constitute evidence one way or the other.

The Smithsonian Magazine published an article claiming that "climate change" is causing an increased rate of heart disease in babies. Obviously this isn't true but it is the coverup for the increased rate of heart disease that we are seeing as a result of the vax. That is the latest disinformation from your government spread by one of their minions.

Proof of this will be when Zach shows that the fact checkers have debunked the claim. Because this must be covered up and that is what Zach is paid to do. Just remember whatever Zach says, the opposite is the real truth.

Interesting about George Washington. He survived with natural immunity, and those soldiers that had natural immunity from the pox, didn’t need variolation. Joining the US military is a choice. You must register for selective service, if male, a unconstitutional law, in my opinion. All the things you list are voluntary activities.

I have no problems with vaccination. Vaccination is good, when appropriate safety protocols are followed. But if a vaccine is shown to cause health issues, even if it is 0.1%, no one has the right to force someone else to play Russian roulette with their life.

Interesting juxtaposition: millions have died from covid, you say. But in another thread you say, “in any 30 day period, some people will die, no matter the cause.”

So what you are saying is that the dead should be counted, when the dead support your cause. But in other cases, the dead are just the dead.

B. Hammer: But if a vaccine is shown to cause health issues, even if it is 0.1%, no one has the right to force someone else to play Russian roulette with their life.

They do if the risk to the population is high enough. To be viable, governments must have increased powers during emergencies, whether war or epidemics or disasters. Again, these sorts of powers are deeply rooted in the common law. That deep rooting allows for a balance to be struck between emergency powers and liberty. The standard is that an act during an emergency must be reasonably tailored to the problem, with the courts striking the balance based on the particulars of the emergency and the long history of compromise that makes up the common and statutory law.

This is the essence of conservatism.

B. Hammer: So what you are saying is that the dead should be counted, when the dead support your cause. But in other cases, the dead are just the dead.

COVID deaths are in excess of what would otherwise be expected. That's a million families that lost a family member and millions that were hospitalized but survived.

Your entire, essence of conservatism, revolves around the unlimited authority of government. During an emergency, of course. And a virus that has a mortality rate approaching 1%, and the most at risk are fairly easy to identify. Why that right there justifies a two year state of emergency. The essence of conservatism. Who knew! All this time I thought that mans rights came from God, not a branch of the government called the Court. That less government is best government. Nope. It all boils down to emergency powers. Thanks for setting me straight.

Quite the contrary. Government is limited by the checks and balances of common and statutory law, and the constitution. The deep roots are the strength of the balance, centuries old, and provides the stability of representative government that protects liberty.

B. Hammer: During an emergency, of course.

Quite the contrary. Emergency powers are limited by the checks and balances of common and statutory law, and the constitution. Government powers are increased during emergencies, but they are not unlimited or without accountability.

That argues the issue of reasonableness, which is the point of this sub-thread. Government emergency powers are contingent.

"During both Delta- and Omicron-predominant periods, receipt of a third vaccine dose was highly effective at preventing COVID-19–associated emergency department and urgent care encounters (94% and 82%, respectively) and preventing COVID-19–associated hospitalizations (94% and 90%, respectively)."

If our government cared about the citizens they would NOT provide a safe place to shoot up! They might use boycotts and economic pressure to force China to stop sending drugs or precursor chemicals to Mexico. They might close the border and search 100% of the vehicles and people who enter our country. They might take more serious action to stop drugs entering our country and being sold on our streets. They might make drug treatment mandatory (instead of masks or vax) for people who do drugs. But they would NOT provide them with a safe place to shoot up.

"a creeping, moldering decay surrounds the galleries."

Not quite on subject but related. I used to live in Dayton Ohio in the 80's. From time to time they would have what used to be called race riots. But mostly and almost always in the daytime it was safe to go into town. If you've ever spent time in the Midwest you have seen the old neighborhoods, beautiful old brick homes and lovely rooflines. Just beautiful homes in quite tree lined areas. But as you would expect these older neighborhoods would fall into decline and the population would change from old people and widows to black families. After awhile you would notice the paint peeling and the gutters falling down, the lawn becoming weeds or bare, the trees abused or dead. Then it would get worse and worse until it was essentially a slum. And THAT was the complaint; that these poor people of color had to live in a slum. But if you had seen the progression you would know that they started in a beautiful neighborhood of beautiful brick homes that would be the envy of any potential home owner. But they didn't care for them or about them. These weren't government housing or rentals these homes were owner occupied but the owners simply didn't care. Today, you could drive through (be careful, daylight only and morning is better since most of the people who live there don't work and sleep until noon) and you could still see the beauty in these old homes even in their disrepair.

Why is that? If you watch the news and follow news on the internet many of the more violent or outrageous crimes that occur anywhere in the U.S. are highlighted. The single reoccurring element in 95% of these crime is the race of the perp. I am not sure the U.S. is going to survive our diversity (which is our stength).

From the video of the leaked plan, the process is straightforward:

Pre-K harm. This is well-known, but not to the New York mag audience, so I am glad to see it. Whenever you look at research coming out of education models understand that They can't do math, barely even arithmetic, even the Ed.D's.. They have not understood that correlation does not equal causation for a hundred years. There are serious journals where literally no one understands this.(See Freddie DeBoer) In Pre-K the bullies prey upon the weak, so it is worse for both of those. For the rest, there might be a minor advantage to early schooling. Might. But dual-income families need their kids cared for, and they prefer something called a "school" to something called "daycare." Are you getting the picture? No government at any level should be giving one dime to encouraging Pre-K.
