Journal Article Calling out Covid Vaccines

 An article was recently published in "The Journal of Insulin Resistance" which calls out the covid vaccines as more harmful than helpful: (link)

Results: In the non-elderly population the “number needed to treat” to prevent a single death runs into the thousands. Re-analysis of randomised controlled trials using the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology suggests a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccines than being hospitalised from COVID-19. Pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety. Mirroring a potential signal from the Pfizer Phase 3 trial, a significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021, with similar data emerging from Israel in the 16–39-year-old age group.

Conclusion: It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally. A pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for COVID-19 is long overdue.

The author of the paper originally promoted the covid vaccine, but his father died after taking it, so I guess then he thought he should be skeptical of the claims of pharmaceutical companies.

The US Just Waged War on Germany and the EU

 The USA blew up the nordstream pipeline, ostensibly to "punish" Russia, but it's an act of war on Europe too. Will the Europeans just take it up the ass and pay protection money to the DC mafia? How corrupt is the "leadership" of Europe? If the US government is willing to completely fuck over Europe and wreck its economy what are they willing to do to Americans?

Few People Want the New "Booster"

 Only a small fraction of people have taken the latest booster shots. It took more than two years for the general public to come to their senses. Only a small handful of people are still hysterical freaks about it.

Every Government is Trash

Supposedly Russia is calling up men for their war effort in Ukraine. That conflict doesn't make a lot of sense. Russia has not acted like a country trying to win a war. Why would they call up many more men if they haven't even tried to win?

Why do Europeans Care About Israel?

When I was about 12 years old, I went to a Catholic church event with one of my middle school friends at the time who was catholic. I don't remember much about the event except for a movie we watched about Moses and ancient "Israel". It struck me as odd, even back then, that anybody in that room should care about Jews in the desert.

Why did the Bible become the book of European people? The story doesn't make any sense at all.

The catholic church went around Europe with the medieval kings and force converted people to their brand of religion. The church was a jewish institution. Christianity was a jewish religion. It's very weird that the Kings of europe decided to force feed that to their people.

There's two plausible explanations for it, as far as I can see. One is that Jewish Christianity was useful for the kings and the church was sort of like the MSM of its day. The other is the aristocratic families of 500s Europe were Jews.

Who can really say for sure?

Europeans have been getting brainwashed by jews for centuries. Jews have been too, of course. The modern day european jews have as little to do with Israel as any random european or american person.

It's pretty fucking weird.

The Credit Curse

A few years ago my wife and I watched the old TV show Little House on the Prairie. It was entertaining, but mostly interesting as a time capsule nostalgia trip. The TV shows back in the 70s and 80s often didn't do a great job of translating a story to the visual live action format. Anyway, I remembered a scene from that show recently: Pa Engels often works at the local saw mill. He works when they have to cut boards. He doesn't work there when there's nothing to do.

That's completely different that today's work world. People go to work when there's nothing to do. Sometimes there are off-project chores that are actually valuable, but it's also common that employees end up burning time on make-work activity. This happens because people are more often than not paid from credit. A company averages out all its cash flows via financial activity.

I think this particular aspect of economic life is the result of much frustration and annoyance. It's why people hate work and terms like "wagie" are used. Everyone knows the whole thing is nonsense and bullshit and the system is pretty arbitrary.

The "no credit" world existed in the US, especially prior to the era of the railroads. In the neighborhood where I live, new settlers built a flour mill sometime after 1812--maybe 1815?--and the whole project was "financed" through barter. People worked on the mill based on a promise of future flour or services. That sort of small deal making was eventually replaced with "finance", money and credit. Banks became universal intermediaries.

That also allows the governments to tax transactions, wages, etc... Now there's a big, bloated system to "facilitate" trade. People traded the high friction person to person interaction of 1815 with a giant parasitic system that robs them every single day.

You Must Believe!

Many of the people who support green energy, EVs, or other such causes are essentially cult members. They think their belief is significant, and of course they think critique of their idols is bad and will "halt progress". That is, they think a critic of EVs somehow prevents the batteries from improving. This is the same mental model many people had for covid vaccines. If you believe the vaccine will cure all. If you don't people will still get sick from covid.

The only thing that will influence the efficacy of EVs is battery technology. If the batteries get significantly better and some other engineering problems are solved, EVs will outcompete ICE cars. If the batteries improve, solar energy will outcompete every other form of power generation. 

Right now, they suck. They're right on the boundary of usable, but are still unproven and pretty janky. The EVs are mainly for early adopter, hobbyist minded people. They are usable, but only for a narrow range of cases. Solar is really similar. It's feasible. It works, but it's pretty expensive. Most people don't want to dick around with their car, or their electric service all the time, or at all, the same way they don't want to mess around with their stove or fridge multiple times a day. Most people don't want a potential fire hazard in their house.

The club of fanboys and believers is much larger than the people who actually spend the $100,000 on a car, or tens of thousands on solar power. Some of them believe the outcome of the quest for better batteries will be influenced by their belief. It won't.

Folk Beliefs

 When I was in High School, I learned the story of the Melonheads. A melonhead is a monster that started off as a human child that has a giant swollen head, probably from medical experiments. They are violent and eat human flesh.

It's a story that kids learn around the time they start driving, because parents learned it around the time they started driving. The kid gets their license, hears about the Melonheads then goes and drives to the melonhead road (Wisner Road in Kirtland, Ohio). The area in Kirtland is actually really nice. It's in the winding, steep valley of the Chagrin River. It's a great place to ride a bike.

The Melonheads legend is probably based on a medical condition: hydrocephalus, which enlarges the head and causes pain and brain damage. It's possible there was an unfortunate kid with the condition on Wisner Road, or it's possible the entire story is fabricated from a general understanding of hydrocephalus and set there because it's an interesting neighborhood that can seem spooky in the right conditions. The story also involves a mad scientist who possibly created the children through experiments.

The story is really similar to puppy pregnancy (Rabies legend in India), and also the Vampire legend (based on a condition called porphyria).

The organic folk beliefs and legends are interesting because they often contain factual information. That is, they're factual information in coded form. Like in the Vampire story, vampires hate garlic, which is a weird detail that never made sense to me; people with porphyria can't eat garlic because it has a high quantity of sulfur which causes a painful reaction.

Folk beliefs are often ridiculed because they are childish and simple and exaggerated. People who are sophisticated imagine they have a more complete or nuanced story. The "enlightened" person often thinks their duty is to present their sophisticated nuanced story to the unwashed masses. For example, the modern leftist thinks the masses don't understand trans people and they must be educated. Corporations spend millions of dollars a year on that project for some strange reason.

The folk understanding of trans people is really similar to the melonhead story. It's displayed in old movies and TV shows. We're watching the series Miami Vice (1984) lately. It shows trannies as demented psychos. Silence of the Lambs and the movie Psycho did too. The folk understanding includes some nugget of truth: "avoid people with severe mental problems even if it's not their fault". From the perspective of the average person, involvement with someone who is suffering severe psychological trauma is probably not worth it.

Same Formula Again and Again

It's pretty common for ideology to pose as science. Many people have pointed out that science has turned into a sort of religion; I think it's more like a cult.

The story of David Reimer is tragic and strange. He was injured as a baby by a doctor attempting to circumcise him. Then another doctor John Money convinced his parents to subject the child to a sex change operation, take hormones, and get "therapy" with him. The therapy involved abusing the boy and his twin brother in bizarre ways. David Reimer eventually blew his head off after a lifetime of problems. His twin brother died of an overdose. It's a story that sounds like urban legend, or the plot of a horror movie. In spite of that, the "doctor" received several awards over his life and was celebrated.

The story is actually quite similar in some ways to the huge push for green energy and EVs. There's an idea: maybe battery powered vehicles are better. It seems plausible. For some reason, some tiny group of people decide everyone needs to go all-in on it, even though the vehicles are not even close to a 1:1 replacement. The batteries might not improve much, and if they don't solar and EVs are kind of crap. In spite of that everyone thinks they're "the future".

That story is similar to the covid vaccine story. There's huge insistence that the vaccines worked, but anybody can see they didn't.

In each of these stories "science" = magic. Failure to believe means the magic science won't work, not because it's flawed, but because it's a spell that requires belief.

Trans Ideology is Bullshit Pushed By Psychopaths

Holy shit. I never heard about this story.

David Reimer was injured by a botched surgical procedure on his penis as a baby. He had a twin brother who wasn't injured. His aggrieved parents took the injured boy to psychologist John Money who recommended the boy should undergo a sex change operation and take hormones.

The psychologist performed bizarre "experiments" on the boys, even forcing them to engage in sexual "play". The dude was just a criminal, psychopath. He claimed the "experiment" was a success. It's the basis for the belief in gender fluidity and other current day insanity.

David Reimer eventually blew his head off with a shotgun and his brother died of a drug overdose.

Every poor bastard that gets suckered into cutting their junk off and getting frankensteined into a plastic surgery imitation female or male pays tens of thousands or more for the surgery, plus thousands more for hormones over the rest of their miserable life. Hopefully some of them will avoid the suicide option in the future and obliterate those who scammed them.

Ideology World

What's the real distinction between "left" and "right"?

To me, it's obvious that the leftists of today are a version of Puritans of prior centuries. A leftist brain of today would easily hold Puritanical beliefs back in colonial New England if it had been programmed with those beliefs since birth. That brain today just holds a random mishmash of ideas about gender and pronouns and other things now.

For the puritan, or the leftist, ideology is everything and the real world is nothing. In fact, nature is a threat and it needs to be purified and ordered. For the contemporary lefty that means gender is arbitrary and can be assigned through frankenstein surgery and hormone shots. For the Puritan, it meant almost the opposite thing, any manifestation of nature that didn't square with the Bible and its proclamations needed to be purged. However, the mechanism involved in both cases is the same.

The current day leftist has a specific type of brain. It's very symbol oriented and therefor urban centered. The natural world has to be reformatted to match the inner stick-figure representation of reality. The noise and ambiguity of the natural world is frightening to the lefty. There's a never ending project to go out and name, and label and understand alien things and re-interpret them for the lefty. Media channels like NPR or PBS are constantly producing content along those lines: taming aspects of the natural world or alien cultures and feeding a curated version of it to their leftist audience.

I've thought for years that the political leadership of these people were scammers. I think in general, they're not. People like Klaus Schwab drink their own Koolaid. Jim Jones offed himself in Jonestown. That guy who was leader of "Heaven's Gate" poisoned himself with his crew.

Ultimately, Puritanical society just couldn't keep up with life.

The current day versions of the Puritans, like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab want to use technology to completely control nature and people, but nature will just flow around them too.

Parasites with Plans

I realized something was wrong with the US federal government back in early 2000s, when the Iraq war started. It was abundantly clear that the Iraq government had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, and the Colin Powell and other members of the Bush administration were lying to provoke the war. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I knew it was off. In fact, it led to total disaster for Iraq and for the people of the USA. The war cost trillions. The money was basically set on fire, or put into the pockets of corrupt government officials and cronies.

I was glad to see the neocons finally go when Obama was elected, but his administration sucked too, plus they continued most of the plans of the Bush administration, so it was at best no change, and really worse overall. The Biden administration is a continuation of the Obama administration; the war in Ukraine is a result of their plans in 2014.

The EU economy is being purposely destroyed by the "democrats" of Europe. The democrats of the USA are the same people--globalists, whatever you want to call those people.

They really suck. Their plans are stupid sci-fi schemes and they're based on sci-fi.

The western world might be destroyed by a bunch of "plans" and schemes. There seem to be zero pragmatic people in governments, especially in "leftist" governments.

"Biden" plans to jam up the US energy market

The Biden administration is planning to jam up the US energy markets using executive orders and agencies like the EPA. None of that is constitutional, so they'll probably lose. The democrats are just the "Europe" party. They want the US to be Europe.

I am curious how many people will still want to be Europe-like if the EU economy implodes due to energy problems. People in England are supposedly paying $20 for a pint of beer because of utility costs now.

The Financial System Doesn't Control Everything

The EU is about to demonstrate that the financial system doesn't control everything.

The EU is going to throw a bunch of funny money at papering over its energy problems. It's not clear what subsidies are going to accomplish. Industry that can't compete because of high energy prices won't be more competitive because a printing press creates a bunch of euros.

Google: Now a Useless Search Engine

 There are currently protests across Europe over energy prices.

If you search on google, you will barely see a headline.

If you search bing, you'll see plenty of results.

Google is a trash company.

Check it for yourself: "czechoslovakia energy price protest"

EU Countries Going Bust

 The EU is going to bail out energy companies to subsidize rate payers. That won't solve the underlying issue--lack of energy. It will hide the problem for another few days or weeks, maybe, but the game is basically over there. If you're a gambling man, look into ETFs that short the Euro.

People in europe thought they were free and prosperous, but the prosperity is an illusion that's apparently ending now. It's scary times ahead.

A similar thing is happening in slo-mo in the US in places like California. The electric grid isn't maintained, and insufficient capacity has been added over the years to power homes. Really companies couldn't raise rates, plus they had to pretend to be "profitable" to keep "investors" happy so they could pay dividends.

Our whole system is a giant scam and it's crumbling right now.

First Glimpse of the Electronic Gulag Future

In Colorado, some people were unable to turn on their A/C because they installed a "smart thermostat": (link)

For the time ever, Xcel Energy locked the smart thermostats of thousands of Colorado customers on Tuesday because of what it called an energy emergency.

Xcel started a program six years ago, called the AC Rewards program, in which customers get rebates in exchange for allowing Xcel to adjust their thermostat on the hottest summer days to ease strain on the electrical grid. Participating customers need to sign up for the program, and about 22,200 have done that in Colorado.

Corporations love the idea of turning everything into a service with terms and conditions that serve their management the most.

Imagine being stuck with some shitty utility company that just shifted all its profits to managers and shareholders and did no improvements or maintenance. They shift the burden of their garbage service onto the customers, but still charge them full rate. That's the future. Garbage corporations, onerous dumb contractual relationships with them, and all sorts of electronic garbage controlling people. Fuck that.

Sue Corporations that Forced Vaxxes; Sue Facebook, Google, Twitter

The federal government tried to circumvent the constitution via collusion with corporations over the past few years. The Biden administration pressured Facebook and other tech companies to censor speech. The feds colluded with them to violate people's first amendment rights. Those companies should be sued and they probably will be and they will lose too. Hopefully Facebook will go bankrupt as a result.

The Biden administration also used corporations to sell pharmaceuticals for their buddies via employer mandates for vaccines. That's another case of the government trying to dodge the constitution. Hopefully employers who pushed the mandates will be liable for damages for people who experienced vaccine injuries.

Governments and Solar Power

 If batteries were really cheap and reliable, solar would be the primary source of energy throughout the world. It would practically be free. In the USA, a person might spend $20-30k for their lifetime supply of all types of energy. Essentially everyone would be energy self-sufficient. That's a huge change.

What would the government do?

Of course they'd tax and heavily regulate it and lie about it.

Look what they've done with alcohol, tobacco, or various drugs. Those things are essentially "free", but they're heavily taxed and regulated to favor certain producers.

The government is generally incompetent and super corrupt through and through, but people think it's "essential". Hopefully humanity can find a better path forward soon.
