Why I’m Suing YouTube and Google
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
*** begin quote ***
The WaPo article coinciding with YouTube’s action is also a blatant illustration of how government, social media platforms and media collude and coordinate attacks to censor people and organizations with whom they do not agree, or who pose a threat to their propaganda narrative.

Ageless and scandal-proof: Chinese tech groups bank on virtual influencers

Ageless and scandal-proof: Chinese tech groups bank on virtual influencers (3 minute read)
Virtual celebrities are becoming more attractive to companies in China as the Chinese government cracks down on human celebrities deemed to be politically outspoken or morally questionable. China’s virtual idol industry is predicted to increase to 48 billion RMB by 2025. Companies like Tencent and ByteDance have spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing digital influencers. While virtual celebrities are more controllable, they aren’t completely immune to scandal and they are currently earning far less than what human influencers used to earn.

Five ideas that will reshape Capitalism’s next century
October 11, 2022 | 5:38 pm
*** begin quote ***
THE GREAT KNOWLEDGE-WORKER CULL
First, they came for the agricultural workers. Then they came for the industrial workers. Now they are coming for the knowledge workers
THE RISE OF THE TRILLION-DOLLAR TRUST FUND BABY
In the next decade or so we will see the birth of a new kind of baby: trillion-dollar trust fund babies who are destined to inherit fortunes that are bigger than the GDPs of small countries or the stock-market valuations of large companies.
THE NEXT FRONTIER OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: GENETICS
The West has understandably remained nervous about exploiting the potential of genetic science since the horrors of the Holocaust. That is likely to change in the coming decades — indeed genetic science may be for the next 40 years what computer science was for the past 40 years.
THE NEW ROAD TO SERFDOM
The great clarion call of market societies is freedom: freedom to exchange the fruits of our labor in the marketplace for goods and freedom to express our views in the marketplace of ideas. Yet there is a growing risk that we are losing our freedoms not only to a new generation of intellectual censors but to watchers who monitor our every move.
*** end quote ***
I couldn’t find the fifth idea.
But the first one is stunning.
If I was a “knowledge worker”, then I’d be very concerened.

COVID jabs: Pharma whistleblowers reveal catastrophic safety failures
Exclusive: Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D., looks at claim ‘the FDA knew of the death risks’

*** begin quote ***
Since its inception in 1934, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has had regulatory power to oversee drug and medical products manufacturing processes and quality control to protect the public from unsafe products. Recent research revelations from career pharma insider whistleblowers Alexandra Latypova and Hedley Rees, however, provide chilling information on catastrophic safety and manufacturing oversight failures for the still-experimental COVID-19 injections that are linked to the skyrocketing deaths and complications around the world. Dr. Michael Yeadon, former Pfizer chief scientist worldwide for Respiratory Pharmacology, has reported that Pfizer documents showed the FDA knew of the death risks. Making the…
*** and ***
Your shot may contain virtually no active ingredient – perhaps helping to explain apparent lack of efficacy. Or it may contain a massive overdose – perhaps explaining the high frequency of “sudden death syndrome.” You have no way to know which you get when you take “the jab” or get a “booster.”
*** end quote ***
This sounds like the CDC and the FDA needs to be shut down.
At the very least the top echelons need to be fired; possibly prosecuted for murder, depending on the facts that come out.
Sigh!
I didn’t classify this blog post as GOVERNACIDE because I can say for certain that people died because of this but it certainly seems an obvious possibility.

Joe Biden’s Energy Crisis
By Rupert Darwall
October 03, 2022
*** begin quote ***
The West is experiencing its third energy crisis.
*** and ***
This time is different. The third energy crisis was not sparked by Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies or by Iranian ayatollahs. It was self-inflicted, a foreseeable outcome of policy choices made by the West: Germany’s disastrous Energiewende that empowered Vladimir Putin to launch an energy war against Europe; Britain’s self-regarding and self-destructive policy of “powering past coal” and its decision to ban fracking; and, as Joseph Toomey shows in his powerful essay, President Biden’s war on the American oil and gas industry.
*** end quote ***
The USA went from a net exporter to a net importer all to be “green”. Like “climate change” is a real thing! And, if it was, that it’s not driven by China and India.
We have not built a gasoline refinery in the USA since the 70’s (or so I’m told).
This “electric car” stupidity is just beyond comprehension.
Hopefully the voters can start taking back control.
31T$ of debt should be a huge wake up call.

Agree. But “hated” is imho to strong a word; “not admired” would be my word. I “admire” true sportsmanship.

Moment the people fight back: Mobile phone theft suspect is stopped in his tracks by HUGE rugby tackle from passer-by before middle-aged woman steps in to apply chokehold to stop him getting away
By Jonathan Rose For Mailonline
Published: 10:01 EDT, 1 October 2022 | Updated: 11:44 EDT, 1 October 2022
*** begin quote ***
Several witnesses can be heard saying ‘call the police’, while one states: ‘Rob people and that’s what happens.’
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Police were called to St Thomas Street, SE1 on 29 September at 15.17hrs to reports of a robbery.
‘It was reported that a woman had her phone stolen by a male who was then detained by members of the public.
‘When officers arrived a short time later, the male and members of the public had left the scene. The phone had been recovered and was back in the woman’s possession.
‘There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue.’
*** end quote ***
I found this interesting in that the public took care of the problem before the police responded.
Hopefully the thief got a few bruises to remind him of the error of his ways. Glad that none of the “first responders” apparently weren’t injured.
“When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”
What happens when the thief is willing to use deadly force to steal, rape, or kill?
“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown
I trust honest citizens to be responsible. And, they can be held accountable.

The SEC’s Reckless Crusade To Crush The Cryptocurrency Market
by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Sep 28, 2022 – 08:20 PM
Authored by Gerard Scimeca via RealClearMarkets.com
*** begin quote ***
The outcome of the SEC case against Ripple is critical in not just establishing a fair and just baseline for the protection of crypto investors, but as a test case in setting boundaries to stop overreach by federal agencies seeking to advance their power at the expense of efficiency. Crypto is popular and growing precisely because of its efficiency, flexibility, and vast utility in financial markets, benefits that can easily be quashed through intrusive and heavy-handed regulation. The ultimate arbiter of these issues is Congress, who must act, and soon, to help establish a clear framework to regulate crypto, and to limit the SEC’s power to occupy spaces where it simply does not belong.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but all the Gooferment ever does is impede progress.
Is an “unregulated” market “dangerous”?
No, let the buyer beware and let the “invisible hand” of the free market quickly and efficiently discipline bad actors.
No bureaucrats required.

What is the purpose of murmuration?
Grouping together offers safety in numbers – predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands. They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas.
“When the early light catches thousands of wings simultaneously, combined with the haunting rustle of countless wingbeats, it is pretty close to avian witchcraft.”

What Happens When a Fact-Checker Doesn’t Get the Facts Right?
By Chandler Lasch
September 28, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Abrams’ claim that a heartbeat detected at six weeks of pregnancy is nonexistent and “a manufactured sound” is false, as is Kessler’s claim that ultrasound detects electrical activity, not the motion of a heart. For two years, Abrams has urged Americans to “follow the science,” while Kessler has insisted that at his newspaper, “we deal in facts.” Both are laudable goals – and equally applicable to the speaker, as well as their audiences.
*** end quote ***
One would think that the Washington Post would fire any “Fact-Checker” that (a) gets it so wrong; and (b) inserts their own “facts” into the mix.
Argh!

The Federal Reserve and Debt
Michael Hudson • September 17, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Well, the question is, why do people go into debt? And there are two kinds of credit. And this goes all the way back to the church theologians in the 14th century. Ancient societies didn’t have any different word for interest and usury. All that was developed to overcome the church’s banning of interest for a 1,000 years, certainly among the clergy. And then the European takeoff began. And after the Crusades it was obvious that some kind of credit was necessary to finance foreign trade. And some people benefited from credit, so the church said, all right, if you’re making a loan, the debtor gains from it, then it’s interest, then its mutual gain. And usury is when the borrower doesn’t really receive a gain but has to pay the interest out of income that they earned elsewhere.
*** end quote ***
Interesting distinction?
So what is our current scenario?
Taxes are theft. And, they are usury to the extent we don’t benefit from them.

*** begin quote ***
This is how their modern counterparts can say, in all seriousness, that they’re “saving democracy” even when they’re sabotaging officials who won democratic elections. In case it sounds like they’re contradicting themselves, they’re really not. They are democracy. They and their colleagues and cronies and so-called experts are democracy, and the stupid rubes who won’t just bend the knee to them and do as they say are the enemies of democracy.
Have a future in mind that doesn’t involve crippling energy prices, eating bugs, having your kids brainwashed, and watching central banks siphon away your wealth? Why, you may be a danger to “democracy,” citizen.
As Sam Francis wrote back in 2004, “What they mean by ‘democracy’ is nothing more than the system of dominance that came to prevail in the United States and the Western world in the last half of the last century. That system has nothing to do with elections, opposition parties, civil and political rights, or ‘liberty,’ nor does it have anything to do with political theory, ancient or modern. ‘Democracy,’ as the neocons and the President and most others who are enthusiastic about it use the word, means the centralized leviathan state under the firm and unqualified control of the managerial bureaucracy and those political forces able to influence it.”
*** end quote ***
Certainly not the old definition of “democracy” which was basically mob rule.
Argh!

All It Takes Is One Hero
By J.B. Shurk
*** begin quote ***
No matter how dark things get, all it takes is one hero to push back. Heroes, after all, are not remembered for following the crowd; they emerge because they run in the opposite direction, often into known danger, and spur others to stop, turn around, and act. It is always the lone voice that inspires a people to rise against the injustices of any age. It is the stubborn persistence of the few who marshal real change. It is the resolute among us who peer at the raging inferno without fear. It is the wise who remember that every waterfall begins with just one drop of rain. It is the hopeful who can look around at today’s chaos and see clearly the opportunity for great change.
*** end quote ***
Who will it be?
Where are our Patrick Henry’s, Nathan Hales’, or John Paul Jones?
Joe Rogan? Dave Smith? Michael Malice?
We certainly need one.

How a 100-year-old miscalculation drained the Colorado River
An epic drought in the West is drying up the river. But that’s only part of the story.
By Benji Jones@BenjiSJones Sep 23, 2022, 8:00am EDT
*** begin quote ***
In the early 20th century, the US Geological Survey sent out this guy named Eugene Clyde LaRue to try and measure the Colorado River. LaRue started to see that, beyond the time horizon that we’d been measuring the river so far [a couple of recent decades], there were some really big droughts. He concluded in a 1916 report that the river is subject to big droughts on timescales of 10-to-20 to 50-to-100 years. It doesn’t just stay wet.
The negotiators of the Colorado River Compact — the foundational document for figuring out how to divide up the river and decide who gets what — needed this information. They needed science. But they came together to figure this out without LaRue. They sidelined him. They ignored his science that said there’s been big droughts.
Instead, the negotiators looked at a much more recent period [of time] that had been extraordinarily and unusually wet. They said the river’s got plenty of water to build all these farms and to build all these cities. They just ignored the science because it was inconvenient.

“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.” — Milton Friedman
In this case, the Gooferment was put in charge of water, and now there’s a shortage.
Totally predictable.
At the very least, if water had a price which kept rising as Lake Meade went down, the “free market” would have disciplined all the Users.
Instead “we” now have a major investment in Las Vegas for example, that is in a dessert.
Argh!
