RANT: No fraud here?

*** begin quote ***

Approximately 3,000 mail-in ballots counted in the Nov. 3 election were supposedly cast by UCSB students residing in a voting precinct that, along with other dorm buildings, includes the Francisco Torres/Santa Catalina Residence Hall at 6850 El Colegio Road in Goleta.

Problem: Due to COVID-19, the Torres Building, which normally accommodates 1,300 students, was empty and locked down through most of 2020, as were all other UCSB dorms.

This means no students/voters were residing inside the Torres Building (nor any of the other dorms) during the election season.

INSPIRATIONAL: Listening to a John Denver album … and feeling OLD!

Sunday, June 6, 2021

Wonder if PTSD can be triggered by music?

“I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have her. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?” Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) in “Cast Away” (2000)

VETERANS: DNF D-Day

Sunday, June 6, 2021

https://www.dday.org/the-memorial/

Bedford boys

*** begin quote ***

Bedford, Virginia… Like eleven other Virginia communities, Bedford provided a company of soldiers (Company A) to the 29th Infantry Division when the National Guard’s 116th Infantry Regiment was activated on 3 February 1941. Some thirty Bedford soldiers were still in that company on D-Day; several more from Bedford were in other D-Day companies, including one who, two years earlier, had been reassigned from the 116th Infantry to the First Infantry Division. Thus he had already landed in both Northern Africa and Sicily before coming ashore on D-Day at Omaha Beach with the Big Red One. Company A of the 116th Infantry assaulted Omaha Beach as part of the First Division’s Task Force O.

By day’s end, nineteen of the company’s Bedford soldiers were dead. Two more Bedford soldiers died later in the Normandy campaign, as did yet another two assigned to other 116th Infantry companies. Bedford’s population in 1944 was about 3,200. Proportionally this community suffered the nation’s severest D-Day losses. Recognizing Bedford as emblematic of all communities, large and small, whose citizen-soldiers served on D-Day, Congress warranted the establishment of the National D-Day Memorial here.

*** end quote ***

Having met some D-Day vets I’d say the common factor was their humility.

Not sure that I’d have had the stones to do what they did,

And, I hope such courage will never be required again.

RANT: All involved and complicit need to be called to account

Saturday, June 5, 2021

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-lab-leak-theory-inside-the-fight-to-uncover-covid-19s-origins

*** begin quote ***

• The Lab-Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19’s Origins Throughout 2020, the notion that the novel coronavirus leaked from a lab was off-limits. Those who dared to push for transparency say toxic politics and hidden agendas kept us in the dark. (Vanity Fair)

*** end quote ***

Special place in Hell for all the “co-conspiritors”!

This should be treated like a genocide.  It could have been an extinction event.  And, needs to be prevented in the future.

Congress should use “marque and reprisal” on all involved!

A great summary of the battle of Midway.

It’s hard to imagine the courage it took to go up facing certain death in obsolete hardware to take a swing and hope for a “lucky strike”.

The American experiment was save here by a bunch of tough men.

Where will they come from when need again?

Why there should not be any welfare or “unemployment insurance” from the Gooferment.

As ususal, the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

VOCABULARY: Dismisinfoganda

Wednesday, June 2, 2021

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/dismisinfoganda

“Dismisinfoganda”
BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2021 – 01:40 PM

*** begin quote ***

Misinformation, i.e., wrong claims innocently made

disinformation, i.e., wrong claims willfully made

*** and ***

dismisinfoganda is the politicized spreading or squelching of claims without, or counter to, adequate empirical evidence. 

*** and ***

Therein lies the true cost of runaway dismisinfoganda. Many Americans once believed government officials unless/until they had good reason to doubt them but increasingly they disbelieve officials unless/until they have reason to believe them. Maybe that is a good thing as it will eventually induce Americans to ask why they continue to pay the salaries of people they cannot implicitly trust to do their respective jobs. 

*** end quote ***

Remember EPA Christie Whitman: “Ground Zero Air Is Safe”?

NOTHING any politician and | or bureaucrat says can be taken for fact at face value.  Ditto for “news media” or “celebrities”!

Argh!

HEALTH: Are COVID Vaccines a Good Bet? (NO!)

Are COVID Vaccines a Good Bet?, by L. Reichard White
Special to L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

*** begin quote ***

Everything’s a gamble, even crossing the street. That’s clearly the case with the COVID-19 vaccines, bum-rushed into production in less than one-sixth the normal time.

*** and ***

Given the facts, should these experimental vaccines be bums-rushed off the market?

Make up your own mind.

TINFOILHAT: Life Insurance and Covid-19; no added financial risk?

Life Insurance and Covid-19; Something Doesn’t Make Sense
The Ron Paul Institute or Peace and Prosperity ^ | may 26, 2021 | jeff harris
Posted on 5/28/2021, 3:10:21 PM by E. Pluribus Unum

*** begin quote ***

You would think that during the worst Pandemic since the 1918 Spanish Flu life insurance companies would be hedging their bets to avoid major losses from Covid-19. I haven’t written a life policy for several years so I was wondering what was going on? I called one of the brokers I deal with that interacts with hundreds of big life insurers to get an inside look into how the Covid crisis has changed their business.

Imagine my surprise when she said it was pretty much business as usual! Last year when the hysteria was just getting ramped up she did say the companies temporarily tightened up underwriting and reduced the amount of coverage they would offer. But as time went by and the hard data came rolling in those same companies went back to business as usual.

I asked her specifically if life insurers wanted a Covid test as part of the underwriting process and she said none that she was aware of. Hmm, that’s pretty interesting isn’t it? The most lethal pandemic in decades descends on the globe with deadly mutations taking millions of innocent lives and the life insurance companies couldn’t care less.

I also asked if the cost per thousand of coverage had increased due to Covid and again she said no. Rates were pretty much the same as they were before the Covid Pandemic ravaged the earth. Life Insurance companies are very risk adverse. They don’t like losing money to unnecessary claims. The fact they’re treating Covid as a nonevent should be an indicator that something is very wrong with the whole narrative.

*** end quote ***

Is this like Sherlock Holmes’ the dog that didn’t bark?

I can’t imagine that the Life Insurance Industry would fail to adjust for this risk.  If it was a risk at all?

Something is rotten in Denmark.
