Overdose deaths are up and there are reports of it in places like Canada, just no connection by the media or health officials to the lockdowns of course. Nope. Numbers were going down and now have spiked up, to the point I think British Colombia had set a certain month's record by like 1.5 or 2x the number from years prior. But no connection to shutting things down. Nope!
This is the same country where, in February, their top federal health expert said it was okay to give China a huge portion of the nation's PPE supplies (for free) because they were in need. With no expectation of reciprocal return when Canada would be in need which was clear even by then this would be spreading everywhere. Canada then in March bought PPE supplies from China at spiked costs.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
They will 100% say (as I've had this argument with friends) that "well there's so many people not following the orders because of Trump". But most cases are in Dem strongholds and you'd be an absolute idiot to believe those people follow anything Trump says AND the cases in every country went up around the same time as well. So Trump is influencing everyone in Italy too? And Spain? The UK? And Canada?
People are morons.
Same people who think masks are foolproof, yet when I told them both Fauci and the CDC had said before that those masks don't work were just like ".... just wear the mask!"
This isn't new to 2020 at all. Academia has been broken for a long time. James Lindsay (the guy who exposed Grievance studies a few years ago) talked about this with how a university professor did a similar experiment decades ago and it had no impact. No one cared about cleaning up the fraud in academia.
There's also academic journals' reluctance to retract a study that was proven false, so long as they agree with the narrative of the study. There was a study years ago that analyzed 2 key characteristics among left and right leaning people. It was something like narcissism and ego or something (sorry I can't remember the specifics). It got published with a conclusion that right wingers were higher in both qualities (both of which are commonly seen as negative). Another group examined it years later and found the original group stupidly swapped their inputs around. So the real conclusion was the opposite, the left wingers were actually higher in those two traits. The original study, still to this day and having been proven erroneous, has not been retracted.
Also, funnily enough, so much of academia are insane hypocrites. So many complain about capitalism non-stop yet 1 of the biggest costs to a university is their constant payments for online academic journal access.
“At the end of the day, it’s still a deadly virus. And over-exaggeration or not, to a certain degree, is irrelevant,” Dharmasena said.
Ya, but you take different measures based on the lethality of a virus you fucking dunce!!!
We immediately quarantine anyone entering the country with Zika because it has a mortality rate of like 40%! We don't do the same for the common cold.
Of all the people they got to comment on this finding, it was a student of Applied Economics...
Which would mean that the Wuhan flu wouldn't be so easily spread. So, given those 2 practices, and the supposed number of Wu flu cases, then the Wuhan flu is by far the most spreadable disease ever known to man if the current numbers are accurate yet we've managed to stamp down influenza to 0.
The best MSM deboonking so far has been the Georgia video where they said "WELL, ACKSUALLY, No one was forced or even asked to leave. We were just told they were done counting for the night."
Like, ya, no shit... you and the poll watchers were there to observe the counting. If counting stops, then that assumes you'll be leaving. They don't have to kick you out when you were willing to go anyways.
But the same "judges' aren't too afraid to allow this coup to continue.
I mean... ya. That literally takes them no action whatsoever and maintains basic level of security. Hobbes may be the most accurate philosopher on what most humans really want the most. The majority of people will gladly give up rights and justice for security and stability.
"Alright. Next on the docket? Let's do another hearing with Zuckerberg and raise our voices, maybe even point a finger at him. If we're feeling brave maybe we'll throw in a scoff or angry face somewhere! Man, I got re-election in the bag!"
or how they will treat the other cases from other plaintiffs.
It treats a state vs. state matter on elections as not a federal court issue, which is absurd.
To treat Trump as the only affected party of election fraud is another spit in the face of citizens. Or, in the matter of this case, illegal election changes. Just like this brave kid here speaking out about what he saw, it shouldn't matter what political party you belong to when fighting against election fraud.
SCOTUS has now proven twice that they want to avoid doing anything at all costs. The POTUS lawsuit over PA election changes was already avoided by John Roberts. What makes you think he'll care if it's filed again, post election??
IF they even look at this same case but filed by Trump the result will be: "Well you may be right, but the only recourse will be for future elections since your argument, while against state actions, doesn't give us leeway to do anything about people's votes."
edit: Wasn't this the same SCOTUS (barring ACB's replacement of RBG) that ruled that Trump didn't have the right to overturn DACA, simply because they didn't like his position on why he was doing it?? Even though it was fully within his power as POTUS?!?!?! Ya... I really trust this court isn't going to apply the same logic for flipping a fucking election... ya, riiiiiiiight.
You are correct, but Grief is also correct that the decision is stupid.
A dispute between states is absolutely grounds for a federal court. And considering a federal election outcome affects all 50 states, they also have grounds on being affected by this. They're not entirely separated from the dispute.
The court system is so insanely stupid with the standing position for this. Sue early?? "Well, there's no victim yet so too bad." Sue later?? "Well, why didn't you make a fuss before??? While this seems like a potential breach of election security we're not going to reverse an election because of this" Sue as an indirect party? "tHe eLeCtIoN dIsPuTe dIdN't iNvoLvE yOu"... but the outcome does you dimwits! But of course, "yOuRe nOt aN iNjuReD pArTy"
I get why those may exist in other circumstances, but holy shit... not in elections where time is essential. And courts fucking know this, it's why restraining orders can be obtained even if there is yet to be a criminal action and a victim.
You're exactly right. They impeached him over a fucking phone call. And oh look, seems they had reason to look into Hunter. Media coverage of Hunter and the connection to a phony impeachment? NOTHING!
FFS, I had idiot friends tell me Trump was being reckless by going back to the White House while he apparently had the Wuhan flu.... so you wanted him to take up a hospital spot he didn't need to take, instead of being at home??? And these friends aren't even raging leftists, they're just dumb idiots who eat up anything that's fed to them by their list of approved sources.
This is why that judge ruling about Wuhan flu restrictions, from I believe PA, was beautiful. Not only are our rights not just fair weather rights, but just because they've forced "non-essential" stores to close doesn't mean they've at all hindered the demand for those goods. While I can't go to a store dedicated to selling lights, chandeliers, etc. I can still go to Home Depot and shop for the same items there... along with people there for 2x4s, paint, PVC pipes.....
All they've done is just crowd specific locations. And I've only heard 1 health official be asked about this and their response made no fucking sense. "Well, it helps us do contact tracing better if, instead of going to 3 stores to shop, they got all their things at 1"... so potentially better contact tracing is more important than just having people more spaced out and reducing cases like that??? Fucking brilliant!!! -_-
I think you're right on a lot of that. You can repeat a ton of things you hear and ya, you'll get some of it right or pretty close. But does it really matter when you make 10,000 predictions and a few are accurate?
You just need yourself, and some courage to learn things that make you uncomfortable.
And this is why academia is rotten to the core. What's meant to be a protected job to explore any ideas you want has turned to both an industry of idea (and grant) laundering and of course a shut down tool to any ideas that oppose theirs.
But the CCP has 85 million members. That leaves a lot of people in China NOT in the CCP. And there are multiple ethnic groups other than the Han in the area claimed by the People's Republic of China.
1: China is like 95% Han Chinese.
2: While that's the party's membership, plenty of people support them but yet aren't party members.
3: Even the Chinese living in China that are critical of the CCP buy into their propaganda most, if not all the time.
For an informative look at China's behaviors from Westerners who used to live there go check out the YT channels ADVChina and ADV Podcast. It's done by 2 guys who lived in China for 10+ years each. They each have their own YT channels as well but those 2 channels are a good start. They talk quite a lot about China's cultural malaise, the CCP's propaganda, the lies, manipulation, the absolute distrust of all foreigners, and most importantly how the CCP soft powers everything.
The last thing China wants is a war. They don't need one when they control so much within other nations. A mob group doesn't fight a government when they control it or have enough influence to get what they want.
Didn't r/conspiracy get taken over by lefties a couple of years ago??? I could've sworn they had a takeover issue.
