Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

You have to be careful of the stories you tell yourself. SPLC? There's a group that really loved that little frisson of terror when thinking about white supremacists, and the SPLC was 'protecting' them. Gotta donate to save the country from Nazis!
CAGW? Again - a story that was terrifying and pushed by people who made really good money off it. No price was too much to keep the icecaps from melting, polar bears from dying, and NYC and coastal Florida from being underwater. How about Covid? How has the story on THAT changed over the last 5 years or so? So here we are. Finding the SPLC was actually paying the KKK. Al Gore declaring that global COOLING is a coming problem. The vaccines... well. I wonder how long it'll be before the vaccines are pulled from the market as being unnecessary? Reality always wins over the stories. It takes a while - but it wins. Remember - reality is the final arbiter.
Just because you tell yourself (story) doesn't mean (story) is real, or as you think it may be. The VDG link is wrong, same as the Ace link earlier.
WRT Greek (Syrian, Turk) whiteness: Alito has clearly thought about this a little and crafted a good response. I wonder what Algore will advise us to do to ameliorate the coming Global Cooling. I’m sure it will have something to do with government reducing our freedoms?
I always wondered why covid caused such a panic when the mortality rate was so low. You were more likely to be killed driving to the doctor's office for the vaccine. See this.
https://swprs.org/why-covid-19-is-a-strange-pandemic/ This part of the after the fact white washing. The white washing estimate is that there were only 20 million covid deaths but the investigators believe that the true number of deaths from covid are four times that or 80 million deaths. The statisticians can claim that is close to normal mortality but it is still 80 million people who would not have died except for Covid. But why the panic, you say?
Because Covid was man made. It was designed and intended to kill millions worldwide. It was released intentionally and our own government was complicit. It was a trail run for that day when they had an even more dangerous disease to release. Let that sink in... Then, maybe, you might understand. re most of the democrat linked stories above.
Someone had a great line about the criminal organization masquerading as a political party the other day. Matt Walsh perhaps? I don't have a link, but it went something like this: The foundation for the entire Democrat part is fraud. Illegal immigration, illegal congressional districts, illegal campaign contributions and money laundering, illegal lawfare, illegal federal funding, and illegal censorship. @oneguy
' The statisticians can claim that is close to normal mortality" You mean it's not? I've seen three different calculations of the covid mortality rate, and they all look about the same. When I had covid, it was practically asymptomatic. I didn't even notice but my daughter did and asked me if I was OK. Covid mostly kills the elderly. It's not a big killer like the Spanish flu of 1918 that would kill whole families, children, parents and grandparents. The cemetery's had to put on a second shift of gravediggers to bury all the dead. It is in addition to normal mortality.
Something can be statistically correct while simultaneously in real terms factually incorrect. I could say that the American deaths in Vietnam were close to normal reality and it would be true and offensive at the same time. Why? Because without the Vietnam war everyone of those 57,000 men would have lived. Ironically if they had all lived the statement "American deaths were close to normal reality" would still be true and still be a meaningless statistic. After Germany's Holocaust Jewish deaths were close to normal reality! After Ukraine's Holodomor Ukrainian deaths were close to normal reality! After Iran recently killed 40,000 young Iranians for peacefully demonstrating against their government Iranian deaths were close to normal reality! From 1492 until 1900 the number of American of European origin deaths from disease were greater than the number of American indigent deaths and, you guessed it, both numbers were close to normal reality! I could go on and on. But in all of these examples real people died from a specific cause and for some statistician to couch it as no big deal is offensive and intentionally misleading. Ask yourself why it was necessary to "prove" that the 20,000,000 unnecessary deaths were "close to normal"? What were they trying to hide or normalize? It's obviously a coverup so what are they covering up??? |
