Are Democrats the problem?

“Moreover, despite the socially progressive and egalitarian outlook traditionally associated with liberalism, the most liberal Democrats actually expressed the greatest dehumanization of Republicans. This suggests that political ideology can at times be as much an expression of social identity as a reflection of deliberative policy considerations, and demonstrates the need to develop more constructive outlets for social identity maintenance.”

Another “white supremicist” insurrectionist

Sullivan repeatedly exhorted rioters to enter the building and overwhelm police, and seemed to convince Capitol Police officers to walk away from the glass door entry to the House Speaker’s Lobby, his video shows. Moments later, with Sullivan screaming warnings about a gun, rioter Ashli Babbitt is shot and killed on the video by a Capitol Police officer.

Chinese Virus unusual sequence in a specific location

 THE BEGINNING – Unknown Virus

 

April 2012 six workers in Mojiang mine fell ill from a mystery illness while removing bat feces. Three of the six subsequently died.

 

From first becoming too sick to work in the mine, patient 2 survived 57 days until he died. Patient 3 survived 120 days after stopping work. Patient 4 survived 117 days and then was discharged as cured. Each had been exposed in the mine for 14 days prior to the onset of severe symptoms and they were treated for infections with symptoms (on admission) of:  a) dry cough, b) sputum, c) high fevers, especially shortly before death, 

d) difficulty breathing, and e) myalgia (sore limbs). Four had low blood oxygen diagnosed as ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and immune damage considered indicative of viral infection. Tendency for thrombosis was noted in patients 2 and 4.  Symptom severity and mortality were age-related (though from a sample of 6 this must be considered anecdotal). Potential common and rare causes of their symptoms were tested for and eliminated. Treatment included ventilation (patients 2-4), steroids (all patients), antivirals (all except patient 5), and blood thinners (patients 2 and 4).   

Remote meetings were held with Zhong Nanshan at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong. Zhong is the Chinese hero of the SARS epidemic, a virologist, and arguably the most famous scientist in China. Samples from the miners were later sent to the Wuhan Lab and to Zhong Nanshan. The source of infection was concluded to be  a horseshoe bat with unknown coronavirus, not SARS virus. Samples were taken from patients for “scientific research” and blood samples (at least) were sent to the Wuhan Lab testing positive for serum IgM suggesting the existence of virus infection.  June 27th, 2012, the doctors performed an unexplained thymectomy on patient 4. The thymus is an immune organ that can potentially be removed without greatly harming the patient and it could have contained large quantities of virus. 

Science magazine wrote up part of the incident in 2014 as A New Killer Virus in China?

 

MIDDLE – Virus named BtCoV/4991 (and covertly renamed RaTG13)

Virol Sin. 2016 Feb; 31(1): 31–40.Coexistence of multiple coronaviruses in several bat colonies in an abandoned mineshaft

BtCoV/4991, a partial sequence of coronavirus and RaTG13, a full sequence of a coronavirus, are from the same bat fecal sample from Mojiang mine in 2013.

 

Wuahn lab has great interest in SARS-like bat coronaviruses, searched the Mojiang mine for bat viruses on four separate occasions between August 2012 and July 2013, even though the mine is a 1,000 Km from Wuhan, collecting trips began while some of the miners were still hospitalized.

 

Partial sequence by Wuhan lab first described in 2016, BtCoV/4991 was a 370 nucleotide virus fragment collected from the Mojiang mine in 2013 by the Wuhan Lab.

 

In 2017 and 2018 Wuhan lab working with BtCoV/4991 with full sequencing.   Full sequence has one segment 100% identical to BtCoV/4991

 

In February 2020, Wuhan Lab published full sequence of BtCoV/1991 but gave it a new name, RaTG13, without mentioning BtCov/1991 when they had cited BtCoV/4991 twice in earlier publications and once in a genome sequence database .  Further there was no mention of miners or deaths RaTG13 

 

END – SARS Cov2 Pandemics hits the world
 

RaTG13 coronavirus is the closest corona virus to SARS Cov2.

MEANING  - Coronavirus RaTG13 (aka BtCoV/1991) was the likely virus that infected 9 minors from Mojjian mine in 2012. RaTG13 likely mutated or was modified into the more infectious and dangerous SARS Cov2 under selective pressure within an human/laboratory environment  over prolonged period of time/study. Wuhan Lab had SARS Cov2 in various samples, including thymus, taken from Miners in 2012. Given Wuhan Lab’s extensive work with corona viruses it is likely that SARS Cov2 was accidentally released from the Wuhan Lab. 

On Sept. 12, 2019, coro­n­avirus bat se­quences were deleted from the in­sti­tute’s data­base. Why? It changed the se­cu­rity pro­to­cols for the lab. Why? It put out re­quests for more than $600 mil­lion for a new ven­ti­la­tion sys­tem. What prompted this new need?

The story of SARS-Cov-2 started long be­fore Jan­uary 2020. We be­lieve the virus was most likely un­con­tained in a lab­o­ra­tory where it was be­ing worked on, and that it es­caped un­in­ten­tion­ally. A Har­vard study of satel­lite im­ages re­vealed a shut­down of traf­fic around the Wuhan lab in the late sum­mer and early fall of 2019. Weeks later, in late Sep­tember, the hos­pi­tal park­ing lots were fill­ing up.

Unusual Sequence in Precise Location 

Sars Cov 2 has a very unusual sequence,  ccgccg, in a very precise location that results in a spike protein with extraordinary affinity/activity (furin cleavage site) with the human ACE2 receptor, making it extraordinarily contagious and infectious. 

Since 1992 there have been at least 11 separate experiments adding a special sequence to the same location. The end result has always been supercharged viruses.

And, in the entire class of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, the CGG-CGG combination has never been found naturally. 

Although the double CGG is suppressed naturally, the opposite is true in laboratory work. The insertion sequence of choice is the double CGG. That’s because it is readily available and convenient, and scientists have a great deal of experience inserting it.

Covid Update 20210601

 Thankfully it seems we have almost reached the point where excess deaths caused by Covid have gotten so low that they are not measurable.  Pace of vaccination continue the decline that started about the time there was a pause due to the concern about clots. The US and essentially all states have gotten to very low levels thanks to the vaccine. Compared with the major EU countries and the EU average, the US was about average.  Missouri was the poorest performing state but it was primarily NY, NJ, MA and RI that brought the US average up.

Thomas Sowell

 Thomas Sowell.  A black, born in the south, suffering discrimination, orphaned, moving to Harlem to be raised by great Aunt, starting as a  Marxist, liberal, leftest, explaining how he ever became a free market conservative. Facts! 

Sowell thought the key to black achievement was not special treatment or government intervention, but access to rigorous and high-quality education and a careful fostering of the values of hard work and individualism. In fact, lowering standards to help blacks is not only discriminatory but detrimental to black achievement

Water is Racist

The real Big Lie, and there are two

 The real Big Lie, and there are two. 

The Big Lie is not that Trump continually claims the election was stolen. It wasn’t. 

The Big Lie is that Trump’s claims are a significant threat to Democracy. It wasn’t.   Over 70 million people voted for Trump. Tens of thousands of supporters went to Washington to support him on January 6. Thousands march to the capital. Hundreds broke into the capital. Tens had evil intent. This was wrong. It is condemned by all.   It wasn’t a significant threat to our Democracy. It wasn’t an armed insurrection.  The protesters did not kill anybody.

The other Big Lie is the Democrats’ continued propagation of a false narrative that systemic racism is the cause of all the disparities with blacks. This is a lie. It is tearing our country apart. And it is hurting blacks. It led to thousands of riots, billions of damage, and hundreds of deaths with the violence over the summer at BLM protests.

Biden will help restaurant owners (unless they’re a white male)

To be eligible, the business must be “at least 51 percent owned by one or more individuals who are women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged and if the management and daily business operations of the applicant are controlled by one or more women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individual.”

The Biden administration is defining businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged” individuals as those who are:

• Part of an “economically disadvantaged Indian tribe”
• “Subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias”
• Black American
• Hispanic American
• Native American, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian
• Asian Pacific American
• Subcontinent Asian American

This is what is wrong with America.

This is what is wrong with America.

A significant percentage are either uninformed of the facts and history and are essentially brainwashed by false narratives fed to them by MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc.  OR intellectually dishonest and/or suffering severe Trump derangement syndrome (TDS.)  

Following is a Facebook comment I recently received from a long-time, though rarely seen or communicated with family friend.

“Scooter, what the f is wrong with your thinking , u r nothing but a TRUMP CULT. Get your head out of your ass!!! So sick & tired of all your bullshit u post [Facebook] Grow up!! & Go ahead & block me like u do when no one agrees with u , I don't give a shit...”

I understand that some of my opinions have opposing opinions that may be reasonable.  But I know that anyone who is well informed and intellectually honest would have a hard time forming a cogent argument supported by facts and logic to claim that my opinions are completely unreasonable.

I know I am careful to research the actual data, read the Constitution, read biographies and non-fiction history and the work of respected intellectuals from both sides before I form my opinions.  

What is really sad is the long term effect Trump has on those suffering from TDS. The fact that I supported some of his key policies, have shared the facts of the important contribution his administration had on the rapid development of the Covid vaccine and felt that he was treated unfairly by much of the media makes those suffering from TDS claim I am in his cult.  Given I have publicly shared my thoughts that Trump is intellectually lazy, insecure, lacks gravitas and is not well spoken and that I actively supported other Republican candidates and that I have no desire for Trump to return, the conclusion that I am in the Trump cult is just support for my claim that there are many uninformed of the facts and history or intellectually dishonest and/or suffering from TDS.

My view DC statehood

The Constitution allowed for up to a 10 mi.² area of land to be allotted to the federal government that purposely would not be a state because they knew how a state that held the government would be corrupted and have too much power. Maryland gave the land to the federal government for most of what is now DC. If the federal government no longer needs or wants that land for the federal government, they should give it back to Maryland. 

To create a tiny state just to get the Democrats to more senators and one more representative is stupid.

It will start a race. When Republicans control everything they can split Texas up into100 states.

Same reason they should not pack the court. It’ll just politicize the court ruining this country.  When Republicans get control they’ll just add six more judges. So on and so forth until we just have a very large Supreme Court that’s nothing but political

White privilege? This has become absurd.

Tariq Nasheed, a black, self-proclaimed race baiter, bullies and harasses a white handicapped desk clerk – not a peep form Democrats.

A white officer, responding to a frantic panicked 911 emergency about people being attacked with a knife, immediately comes upon a brawl where, within a few seconds, a women knocks down one woman and then the woman immediately attacks another woman and draws her arm back to stab the woman with a knife.  Even though there were only seconds, the officer repeatedly commands the attacker to stop before having to shoot her.  Democrats attack the police.

Democrats continue to spread the false narrative that there is systemic racism in policing. In late 2020, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released a report that found no statistically significant difference by race between criminal activity and arrest—in other words, you get arrested in America if you are reported to have committed a crime, no matter your race. Multiple studies, from Harvard’s Roland Fryer to Professor Peter Moskos of John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York, show that police officers are less likely to kill black Americans than white Americans in similar circumstances.

Biden’s and the Democrats recent Covid relief bill provides money to poor black farmers, excluding poor white farmers.

All things being equal, a black has an advantage over a white (and Asian) in being admitted to college and getting a corporate job.

Tessa Majors, a white college freshman at Bernard in New York City is attacked and stabbed to death by 3 black 13 and 14 year olds because they wanted her phone.   The executive board of the Women of Color Pre-Law Society pens an op-ed with a small portion expressing sympathy for Tessa Majors and the dominant portion expressing concern over the investigation and legal process with apprehending and prosecuting the suspects and institutional oppression, gentrification and poverty involved.  Not one concern expressed of the culture that results in the youngest of teens stabbing for an iPhone.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Black Life’s Matter claim the following traits are examples racism: capitalism, punctuality, English grammar, urgency, respect authority, accountability, self-reliance, objectivity, hard work, rational thought, nuclear family,  grading math, and many more.  Biden and the Democrats are embracing CRT.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) - Heritage and Pete Bowen

DEFINITION

Critical race theory is an academic discipline that holds that the United States is a nation founded on white supremacy and oppression, and that these forces are still at the root of our society. Critical race theorists believe that American institutions, such as the Constitution and legal system, preach freedom and equality, but are mere “camouflages” for naked racial domination. They believe that racism is a constant, universal condition: it simply becomes more subtle, sophisticated, and insidious over the course of history. In simple terms, critical race theory reformulates the old Marxist dichotomy of oppressor and oppressed, replacing the class categories of bourgeoisie and proletariat with the identity categories of White and Black. But the basic conclusion is the same: in order to liberate man, society must be fundamentally transformed through moral, economic, and political revolution.

Pete Bowen 

CRT is one of many theories—including Critical Legal Theory, Intersectionality, de-constructionism, Gender Theory, etc.—that have their roots deep in postmodern thinking that started in the mid 1900’s. Postmodern thinking has become increasingly dominant in academia—especially the humanities.

At its core, postmodern thinking says that there are no facts, no objective truth, and no objective morality. It explicitly rejects logic, and the idea that there is meaning or purpose in life. Everything is subjective, a matter of perspective, opinion. In this postmodern approach, it is not a fact that anorexia is unhealthy. It is a matter of opinion.

The postmodern rejection of facts means that saying, “Dishonesty, violence, and rape are wrong” is not a statement of fact, but simply a feeling, opinion, perspective. If there is no objective truth, morality, or justice, then the only thing that matters is Power. That’s why postmodern philosophies see everything in terms of perspectives and power.

All of the things that you were taught are facts—like it’s a fact that honesty is right and dishonesty is wrong—are nothing more than social constructs that the powerful programmed into you through the schools, media, culture, churches, etc. The whole point of the postmodern theories like CRT is to de-construct the constructs you’ve been programmed with to understand how others use their power over you. When everything is about perspective and power, words like racism develop opposite meanings.

Dr. Martin Luther King taught that it is a fact that racism is wrong because it is the unjust treatment of people of other races or ethnicities. Racism is about how you think about and treat people. Postmodern professors teach racism in terms of power. If you have power, then you are racist. If you don’t have power, you can’t be racist. In postmodern thinking, if you have privilege (power) because of your skin color, then your skin color makes you racist, no matter how you think about or treat people.

Older generations define racism based on the teachings of Dr. King. Younger generations are being taught the opposite, postmodern understanding: you are racist because of your skin color. In CRT, believing in Dr. King’s teachings is an indication that you are racist.

Many of us have been taught that rather than fight, we should have respectful, rational-logical discussions with others to come to the truth and act on that truth. Because postmodern thinking rejects logic and truth, rational discussion is absurd. Instead, postmodern thinkers concocted the idea of narrative, a series of statements (not facts) arranged to emotionally manipulate you to submit to them.

Postmodern narrative is a way to exercise power over you through story. They can say whatever they want. They can make the narrative appear to be a logical discussion if that helps them manipulate you. They are free to change the narrative however they want—even to a contradictory story—if it controls you and gets them power. If you argue that they are lying, you miss the point. There is no truth, so there are no lies.

You probably believe that it’s a fact that lying and racism are wrong. They’ll use that against you. By calling you a liar or racist, they can use the emotional weight you give those terms to manipulate you. There is nothing wrong with gaslighting or exploiting you. It’s just another exercise of power.

Postmodern thinking appears to be tolerant because it says you can think and do whatever you want. In practice, postmodern leaders only tolerate what they want. When there is a disagreement with you, they will use power to force you to submit. There is nothing objectively wrong with forcing or even killing you, because again, there are no moral facts, just power.

Finally, by its very nature, postmodern thinking destroys relationships, families, and communities. When everything is a matter of personal perspective, when words mean whatever someone wants them to mean, the common concepts that bind us together like humanity, truth, justice, and morality—break down. As those common concepts fall apart, community becomes impossible.

By their nature, CRT and postmodern thinking cannot defend the powerless, bring justice or give dignity. They use those words knowing that it gives them emotional power over you. In a postmodern world, power always ruthlessly fights its way to the top. Power despises and crushes the less powerful. Justice is when you have power over others. Injustice is when others have power over you.

If you introduce CRT and postmodern thinking to your organization, you will destroy the shared concepts, relationships and trust that are fundamental to your organization’s success. It will inevitably destroy you and your organization. When words mean whatever someone wants them to mean, it is impossible for your organization to have shared core values.

Critical Race Theory and postmodern thinkers will try to bully you into thinking that they have the only possible solution to issues, but that is false.

Only love, community and shared humanity can bring justice, dignity and truth. That’s the opposite of postmodern thinking. Those are fundamental features of a Wisdom Paradigm understanding of life taught and lived by people like Dr. Martin Luther King.

Where’s the Outrage?

Where’s the outrage? 

Where’s BLM?

Where’s Labron?

Another week and more lives lost. Another week with children not in school.  Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists, it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force is bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.) 

Evidently teachers unions care more about politics than students

 

Conclusion

Our findings that school closures are uncorrelated with the actual incidence of the virus, but are rather strongly associated with unionization, implies that the decision to close schools has been a political—not scientific—decision.
