VOCABULARY: “Jurymandering” is gerrymandering for jury pools

ROUGHLY QUOTING:

“Jurymandering” is moving the Trump Georgia trial to Federal Court because the State Court trial will draw jurors from a mostly Democratic voter pool where as the Federal Court trial will draw from a larger less Democratic pool.

To Halt Ibis Extinction Austrian Man Shows Birds a New Migration Route With His UltraLight–And it’s Working

By Andy Corbley – Aug 21, 2023

*** begin quote ***

An Austrian ornithologist has pioneered an incredible way of wildlife rehabilitation by fostering chicks of an endangered species before re-instituting their migratory practice by leading them along their natural migration route with an ultralight aircraft.

The method was developed to help reconnect the northern bald ibis, a bird that was extirpated in Europe 400 years ago, with its summer-winter migration pattern from northern Europe to its sunny southern climes.

*** and ***

Fritz came to the rescue again, hand-rearing chicks on ground mice and beef heart 8 times a day, while letting the inquisitive, gregarious chicks investigate his ears and nose for curiosity’s sake.

This was all a part of getting them to the age of flight when he would lead them again in his ultralight aircraft along a 2,500-mile circumnavigation of the Alps to a new wintering site on the sunny Spanish south near Cadiz

A heroic effort.

And just goes to show when one committed “crazy” person can accomplish.

That’s conserving nature for future generations.

ConspiracyTheories: Was the WTC an inside job? Seems possible but maybe plausable

The Demolition of the World Trade Center (The Devil’s Trick)
Guest Post by Mark Gaffney

*** begin quote ***

Way back in 2007, a physics professor at Brigham Young University, Dr Steven E. Jones, turned up critical evidence while investigating samples of World Trade Center (WTC) dust. The samples had been collected immediately after September 11, 2001 from the thick deposit of dust that blanketed the WTC site and much of lower Manhattan. Jones found tiny bits of an exotic incendiary known as thermate that can cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. Thermate burns at ~5,000°F. The main product of the reaction is molten iron.

Thermate differs from its better known cousin thermite in that it contains sulfur which lowers the melting point of iron, speeding up the reaction. The presence of both sulfur and aluminum was diagnostic for thermate. Jones called this “the last nail in the coffin.” (Dr. Steven E. Jones, Revisiting 9/11/2001. Applying the Scientific Method, 2007)

*** end quote ***

In my hierarchy, I’ve always teetered between Level 5. Possible and maybe 4. Plausible.

After reading this about thermate and small nukes, it explains why “the pile” was so “hot” and how the steel structure could have “burned”.

The factoid about thyroid cancers is another pebble on the scale.

I doubt I’ll ever know.  We’re just finding more stuff out about the JFK assignation now that makes a laughing stock out of the “official story”.  Same with the RFK assignation. 

So believe what you want, but I’m begging to suspect that the “lizard people”, our evil overloads, had a hand in this.

Argh!

Whether you love Donald Trump and are daily festooned with MAGA paraphernalia, or despise everything about him, if you reflect on Trump’s trials you may have a real whiskey, tango, foxtrot moment.

The problem isn’t the indictments and whether they are bogus and political or sound and prudent. The lawyers and the courts will duke it out and someday we’ll know, or at least we’ll have the best answer the system can produce. No, the issue is Trump’s bail. 

*** and ***

If Trump were willing (I heard this notion so it’s not original with me), then he should change his mind and tear up the bail agreement. Show up, be arrested, and then be taken to jail. The Secret Service would immediately invoke their federal authority and force the county to empty out the jail to ensure the former President’s safety. Then watch the thousands, then tens of thousands, then more and more come to the jail to protest. Even MSNBC would be forced to cover it. 

Or, more likely, watch the Court and Willis squeak like little mice and say, never mind, Mr. Trump. See you in a few weeks. There would be plenty of embarrassment, but not for Trump.

Example 3: Thousands of patients died at a tiny facility in 2020 (just 69 beds with 68% occupancy)

This is my favorite example. Facility #235601.

In the last 7 months in 2020, this facility had 2,584 total deaths which included 9 deaths from COVID (from 48 cases, a 19% death rate from COVID).

Here’s the impressive thing: the average occupancy throughout the period was just 47 beds and it stayed pretty constant throughout the 32 week period. There are just 69 beds in the entire facility.

In other words, on average, everyone living there died, on average, every 4.2 days and they were immediately able to fill the empty beds every week.

This facility passed all the Medicare QA checks.

Single facilities like this with such large death numbers throws the aggregate data off.

And this was not the only example of a small facility with thousands of deaths in 2020!

LIBERTY: Big Pharma is trying to absolve “the Jab” from all the myocarditis

Truth is out! COVID mRNA technology gene based Vaccination is the Primary Cause of Serious Myocarditis, it is not the virus! The Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is working hard to shift the blame from COVID mRNA vaccines onto COVID/SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Dr. Paul Alexander  — Aug 16, 2023

*** begin quote ***

‘I agree with Joe Rogan who says Alex Jones is the most misunderstood man on earth. I had the pleasure go on his long program on the InfoWars channel early in August, 2023. This program covers in detail: 1) COVID-19 vaccine induced myocarditis—screening detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and management, 2) celebrity vaccine injury syndromes, 3) normalization of cardiac events in healthy young vaccinated people by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, 4) developments in Washington including Senator Rand Paul and his pursuit of Dr. Anthony Fauci for criminal activity during the pandemic response that led to unnecessary hospitalization and death of Americans and people across the globe.

*** and ***

Jones addressed “normalization” of heart attacks and cardiac arrests in children. I made it clear that it was not COVID-19 illness in 2020 that caused the problems we are seeing now with the vaccines.

It is obvious the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is working hard to shift the blame from COVID-19 vaccines onto SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sadly, most people worldwide have had both exposures. Long COVID or post-acute sequelae syndromes are due to the combination of infection and vaccines which both afflict the body with accumulating, damaging Wuhan Spike protein.

*** end quote ***

I’m neither a fan or critic of Alex Jones.  I am a critic of Big Pharma for the mRNA “vaccination” scam and results.  Some of which was due to the stupidity of “We, The Sheeple” which let themselves be scared into taking an untested technology at the urging of politicians and bureaucrats!

The number of deaths and disabilities cause by the Jab is inconceivable and incomprehensible.  Young people are dropping dead is unprecedented numbers and no one is screaming for answers.

It also appears that politicians and bureaucrats have gotten rich off this new technology. (I remember Faucci saying he only got some small royalties; turns out to be millions!)

Alex Jones may get stuff wrong and go off the rails at times, but sometimes he is correct.

When do we get the “truth”?

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men played by Jack Nicholson

We can’t get the truth from the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats.  And the media is just the Gooferment’s press secretary.  So we have to listen to the Conspiracy Theorists for the truth.

Police stage ‘chilling’ raid on Marion County newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones
By: Sherman Smith, Sam Bailey, Rachel Mipro and Tim Carpenter – August 11, 2023 4:15 pm

*** begin quote ***

MARION — In an unprecedented raid Friday, local law enforcement seized computers, cellphones and reporting materials from the Marion County Record office, the newspaper’s reporters, and the publisher’s home.

Eric Meyer, owner and publisher of the newspaper, said police were motivated by a confidential source who leaked sensitive documents to the newspaper, and the message was clear: “Mind your own business or we’re going to step on you.”

The city’s entire five-officer police force and two sheriff’s deputies took “everything we have,” Meyer said, and it wasn’t clear how the newspaper staff would take the weekly publication to press Tuesday night.

The raid followed news stories about a restaurant owner who kicked reporters out of a meeting last week with U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner, and revelations about the restaurant owner’s lack of a driver’s license and conviction for drunken driving.

*** and ***

The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead. Viar didn’t respond to a request to comment for this story or explain why she would authorize a potentially illegal raid.

A federal appeals court ruled in Connecticut’s favor in a dispute over the state’s removal of the religious exemption to its vaccine mandate. Connecticut law mandates vaccinations for “schoolchildren, college and university students, and childcare participants.”

The plaintiffs objected on religious grounds “to us[ing] or benefit[ing] from the use of aborted fetal cells” from stem cell lines used to produce some vaccines.

Addressing the childrearing argument, the appeals court acknowledged parents’ right to “the care, custody, and control of their children” but held the childrearing claim could not exist independent of the First Amendment claim, which the appeals court already rejected.

I find this stunning!

I can’t think of any more basic right then the rights recognized by the First Amendment.

While I disagree with “incorporation” that somehow makes the States subject to the Bill of Rights, if that is the “playing field” we are on, then surly the First Amendment covers the issue.  The plaintiffs are being enslaved right before our eyes by a tyrannical State Gooferment.

Two years after Hurricane Ida, state tells survivors: Move — or pay to rebuild yourself

  • A sudden change in state policy was motivated by safety concerns, officials say

By: Dana DiFilippo – August 9, 2023 6:58 am

*** begin quote ***

State officials told Vaughn and other residents of Ida-ravaged blocks deemed “risk reduction areas” that their only option is to take a state buyout and move. Anyone who wants to elevate their home above flood levels, rebuild, and stay will have to do so on their own dime.

The sudden policy change, which impacts flood-prone areas of this blue-collar Somerset County borough where more than 500 homes sit, infuriated many residents, who have long implored state lawmakers to reduce delays and flaws in storm recovery relief programs.

“We should have the choice of buyout or elevation. We shouldn’t be forced into a buyout that might not even cover your mortgage. Because then what?” Vaughn said. “I’ll owe the bank money, I’m going to lose my house, and my credit is shot because of all this so I’ll have nowhere else to live. It doesn’t make any sense.”

*** end quote ***

This doesn’t sound “fair”.  Like when “flood insurance” only covers “primary residences”!  Surprise, surprise.

A buyout should cover the value of the house before the flood. 

What were the rules in effect when the flood occured?

If the Gooferment wants to play dirty, then “We, The Sheeple” need to “correct” the politicians and bureaucrats.

Seems like hyper inflation in Argentina

Thursday, August 17, 2023

https://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index?more=128087782

*** begin quote ***

On Monday, Argentina’s central bank raised #interestrates to 118% as Argentina 30-year mortgage is now at a record 82.2%. There is a record 350 Argentine Pesos for each US Dollar. All courtesy of Argentina’ version of Bidenomics … top down direction of spending and regulation and an out of control Central Bank. Don’t cry for Argentina. .They voted for endless Peronist polices (Justicialist Party). Say, are Joe and Jill Biden the new Juan and Eva Peron?

I don’t know how you can take on an 80+% mortgage?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Who will save “We, The Sheeple” from unserious politicians and bureaucrats?

First, NY Democrats Came for Pizza Ovens. Now, They’re Coming for Ice Cream Trucks.
Jarrett Stepman / @JarrettStepman / August 09, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

New York City, like many other cities in America, is dealing with several acute challenges. None of them involves ice cream.

The biggest issue is the explosion of crime in the past few years. New York experienced a huge increase in burglaries, assaults, and car thefts to begin the year. Liberal media sources keep trying to downplay the problem, but the fact that crime is elevated—though isn’t quite at all-time highs—is hardly something to celebrate or be proud of.

At risk of being funny, are these fools serious.  Like Congress with the National Debt, these fools are fiddling while Rome burns.

But the voters keep voting for these … … clowns.

Argh!

GUNS: Virginia 6-year-old is a danger to himself and others

Virginia 6-year-old who wounded teacher Abigail Zwerner with gun boasted: ‘I shot that bitch dead’
By Yaron Steinbuch  — August 9, 2023 9:42am Updated

*** begin quote ***

The 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his teacher with his mother’s gun later bragged about it to a school employee – shockingly claiming, “I shot that bitch dead,” according to newly unsealed search warrants.

After the first-grader shot Abigail Zwerner at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News on Jan. 6, reading specialist Amy Kovac held the boy until cops arrived, according to the documents obtained by WTKR.

“I did it … I shot that bitch dead,” the pint-sized pistol packer bragged, the docs show. “I got my mom’s gun last night.”

*** and ***

In a statement to WTKR, the Newport News School District said in response to the search warrant that “unfortunately, FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, prevents schools from releasing information from a student’s education record.

“U.S. Department of Education guidance states ‘schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record,’” the statement says.

“Newport News Public Schools is unable to comment on this matter in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act,” it adds.

*** end quote ***

Sorry but it sounds like the prosecutors are letting this go to easily.

Lot of blame to go around, but let’s focus on how the 6 years old gets a gun into school and learns to talk like that.

And, the school district seems to be hiding behind “privacy” to hide the records.

Argh!

Seems like Gooferment Skrules are as dangerous as prisons!

POLITICAL: Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment

Throw All the Bums Out

By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

The reason is simple: if Marxist globalists get their way, then sovereign U.S. powers will continue to be unlawfully delegated to the U.N., the WHO, and other international monstrosities until some Obama-type tyrant is ruling over us all from Turtle Bay or a stately castle outside Brussels.

*** and ***

Our Union came into existence only because the former colonies were assured that they would maintain their freedom and independence. Had the Articles of Confederation or their successor, the U.S. Constitution, sought to extinguish the individual states’ inherent sovereignties by replacing their discrete political powers with those of a single new nation, then no agreement to form a Union would have ever been reached. The colonies did not fight a war for their independence from an empire only to squander their victory and become part of another empire.

*** and ***

What we need is a movement of people who recognize that nullification is not only possible, but necessary. The problem is that Americans have been forced to choose between two private corporations posing as political parties that do not embrace a duty to protect Americans’ freedom and liberty. That is perhaps the most telling symptom of our current problems. A Union that was formed to protect the people’s inalienable rights and liberties has no political party addressing those foundational concerns on the national stage.  

Perhaps it is time to throw all the bums out, so that we may begin representing ourselves.

*** end quote ***

Let’s start by repealing the Seventeenth Amendment which “defanged” the States from controlling the Federal (Central) Gooferment.

What can be learned from the Battle of the Bulge?

Researchers have used drone-mounted LiDAR – which emits pulses of light to create 3D models and maps – to ‘see through’ the thick forest canopy. 

They found nearly 1,000 features within the landscape, including dugouts, bomb craters and even artillery emplacements where troops positioned their guns.

Wonder if they will find any MIA’s or KIA’s?

HEALTH: Jay Bonnar’s anecdote is statistically impossible

Monday, August 14, 2023

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/jay-bonnars-anecdote-is-statistically?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=548354&post_id=135612926&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Jay Bonnar’s anecdote is statistically impossible if the COVID vaccines are safe

  • Jay lost 15 of his friends who all “died suddenly.” All were vaccinated. Four dropped dead within 24 hours of the shot. 3 of the 4 were ~30 years old, perfectly healthy before their death. Whoa.

Steve Kirsch  — Aug 7, 2023

“High tech sales executive Jay Bonnar, age 57, had 15 of his direct friends (not “friends of friends”) die unexpectedly since the COVID vaccine rolled out. All his friends who died were vaccinated. In his entire life, he’s never had any friends die unexpectedly. Zero. If the vaccines are safe, the chances of this happening are near zero.”

Stop the killing JAB!

IMMEDIATELY!

Begin to hold ALL the politicians and bureaucrats accountable!
