HEROIC: Marcel Marceau’s greatest performance was to use skills to save Jewish children from the Nazis | Daily Mail Online
Wednesday, July 22, 2020Marcel Marceau personally smuggled at least 70 youngsters out of France and across the Alps to Switzerland, rescuing them from almost certain slaughter in the concentration camps.
*** begin quote ***
Marcel Marceau, left, personally smuggled at least 70 youngsters out of France and across the Alps to Switzerland, rescuing them from almost certain slaughter in the concentration camps. After the war, he rarely discussed his role in the Resistance, top right. Now, 13 years after the actor’s death, the extraordinary untold story of how he used mime to defy Hitler’s stormtroopers has been turned into a Hollywood film, starring Jesse Eisenberg as Marceau, bottom right. He was born in 1923, the son of a kosher butcher from Poland and his Ukrainian wife Anne, who fled West to escape anti-Semitism before World War I and settled in Strasbourg, on the French-German border. In May 1940, as the Germans rushed West to occupy the Netherlands and Belgium in a matter of days, the family fled to Limoges in central France, hoping Hitler’s forces would not reach them. They had just two hours to pack their bags

INTERNET: Cloudflare DNS breaks the internet
Tuesday, July 21, 2020https://deadline.com/2020/07/internet-down-outage-cloudflare-hack-dns-google-1202988757/
“This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network. It was not as a result of an attack,” said Cloudflare DNS on their blog just a few minutes ago after over an hour of interruption earlier Friday. “It appears a router on our global backbone announced bad routes and caused some portions of the network to not be available. We believe we have addressed the root cause and are monitoring systems for stability now.”

HEALTH: Now “we” are beginning to peel back the “onion” of knowledge
Monday, July 20, 2020https://news.yahoo.com/scientists-identify-six-different-types-185531392.html
Scientists identify six different types of coronavirus with increasing severity levels
Henry Bodkin, The Telegraph•July 17, 2020
*** begin quote ***
People most vulnerable to Covid-19 can now be given support and early interventions – AFP
Six distinct types of coronavirus have been identified by scientists in a breakthrough that promises to save lives by flagging the highest-risk patients.
Analysis of thousands of cases by artificial intelligence software has revealed different “clusters” of symptoms and ranked them in order of severity.
Headache and loss of smell are common to all six groupings, but the range of symptoms varies widely after that.
Scientists at King’s College London (KCL) found that patients with the sixth type of Covid-19 are nearly 10 times more likely to end up needing breathing support than patients in the first group.
This is significant because often patients only deteriorate to a critical stage several days after after showing symptoms. The new ranking system should flag up the highest-risk cases and give doctors the opportunity to intervene earlier.
*** end quote ***
Not only that, but maybe “we” can differentiate between “cases” and “deaths” with something a little more granular and a lot less intrusive in daily life.
And, reopen the economy without “face diapering” diktats.
Like all other “one size fits all” diktats by Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats, this one is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
Let’s be safe … intelligently.

GOVERNACIDE: The “death penalty” is power the Gooferment should not be trusted with
Sunday, July 19, 2020White supremacist Daniel Lewis Lee – who murdered family of three – is put to death by lethal injection in first federal execution in 17 years as he screams ‘I didn’t do it’ just hours after Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote
# – # – # – # – #
Once again as pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I don’t see how the Gooferment has the power to kill its citizens and residents.
In the extreme, if someone is too dangerous to contain, then they should be free to wander the wilderness, cut off from society’s benefits.
Else, it’s just like the death camps.

LIBERTY: The Tyranny of the Experts, by Sean Gangol
Saturday, July 18, 2020Yes, I find it downright painful to hear somebody act like he’s an expert, when he hasn’t done the tenth of the research that I have on the subject. That being said I think the notion of letting the experts do all the thinking is downright ludicrous. It is true that Europeans and certain Canadians like to let the so-called experts do all the thinking. I remember this Canadian woman who posted under the name of Socialist Butterfly on the old My Space forum who called me ignorant, when I said that I didn’t agree with the conclusion made by The World Health Organization on which nation had the best healthcare. When I asked why she called me ignorant, she said it was because I ignored a conclusion made by experts. There was also a British soccer player on the forum, who was much more polite than that snooty woman from Canada, but he couldn’t comprehend how I could possibly question the self-proclaimed experts who resided at the WHO either. I would later come to realization that I probably shouldn’t have wasted my time arguing with a fool who called herself Socialist Butterfly. I also realized that I should have asked the nice soccer player from Great Britain how one is to decide who the experts are.

VOCABULARY: A Bartender explains “tolerance”
Friday, July 17, 2020In 1945, a philosopher named Karl Popper introduced a concept that he called the paradox of tolerance. “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance,” he wrote. “If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” In other words, if society is tolerant without any limits, the intolerant people will eventually destroy it. “We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant,” Karl Popper wrote.

Thursday, July 16, 2020“My brother came up with a terrific idea and I am encouraging all to join me in purchasing $10 worth of Goya Foods products and donating them to your local food bank,” self-described “conservatarian” radio host Mike Opelka wrote on Twitter. “Let’s push a BUY-cott, not a boycott.

LIBERTARIAN: AOC and GOYA, by L. Neil Smith
Wednesday, July 15, 2020Attribute to L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise
Judging from my e-mail, and lack of feedback, I believe I’m being “shadow-banned” by the People’s Soviet Facebook. This is what I wrote recently. Judge for yourself.America’s crazy ex-girlfriend, Sandy the Bartender, has called for a boycott of Goya Foods because its CEO says we are “blessed” to have Donald Trump as President.My family eats more Mexican food than any other kind, but I had not heard of this brand before. Now, thanks to AOC’s fascist effort to muzzle those who won’t toe her Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist line, I have asked my lovely and talented wife to start buying Goya.I’m sure that others have had the same impulse, which could lead to a Goya sales boom. Therefore I suggest that Occasional-Cortex be investigated to see if she holds stock in the company which she knew would go up when she launched one of her hysterical collectivist tirades against it.What do you think?

HISTORICAL: How one woman pulled off the first consumer boycott – and helped inspire the British to abolish slavery
Monday, July 13, 2020Consumers boycotts, which put power into the hands of people of even modest income and can lend a sense of “doing something” in the face of injustice, have a mixed track record. There have been some notable successes, such as consumer-led efforts to end apartheid in South Africa. But others, such as boycotts of the National Rifle Association and of Israel, have yielded little.

Might N.J. schools not reopen this fall because of coronavirus? Murphy hints it’s possible. Gov.

Saturday, July 11, 2020How does Big Pharma have so much control over the dissemination of this information or should I say propaganda? Well, the same answer pops up again, money. Big Pharma gave $2 billion dollars during the last election cycle to US politicians.

Montana-based indie developer Samuel Coe has just released Relate, a new iOS/iPadOS app for building stronger relationships. It’s basically tailor-made for people like me who are a little…shall we say, absent-minded when it comes to making and maintaining connections with people.
Essentially, Relate lets you create relationship “profiles” for the people you care about, where you can fill in details about each person (birthdays, etc) and make notes about interactions and important moments you’ve had with them (or would like to have later). You can also set up alerts that remind you to keep in touch, because goodness knows I’m terrible at that. Ask anyone in my family, they’ll tell you.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Count “deaths”; not “cases”
Friday, July 10, 2020The Cases! Oh, my! https://buff.ly/3f6uhbK “Why isn’t the Orange Man being as aggressive in combatting the lies about #WuFlu as he was about the lies regarding his being Putin’s poodle?” Cases can be fudged; deaths can’t be. If the number of deaths is declining, why do we care about “cases”. If we measure by “deaths”, then financial incentives to fudge the numbers (i.e., every thin becomes a “case” no matter how remotely related or not)!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Important Quotes in Virology
Thursday, July 9, 2020Important Quotes from Virology and Vaccinology Experts that Never are Interviewed on the Mainstream Media
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
July 6, 2020
*** begin quote ***
“Safety testing, which typically requires months and years for other medical products, often lasts only a few days with vaccines – not nearly long enough to spot cancers or chronic conditions like autoimmune diseass (e.g. juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis), allergic illnesses (e.g. food allergies, allergic rhinitis, eczema, asthma), or neurological and neurodevelopmental injuries (e.g. ADD, ADHD, narcolepsy, epilepsy, seizure disorders, and autism). Vaccine manufacturer’s vaccine inserts that accompany every vial of mandated vaccines include warnings about these and over 400 other injuries including many serious immune, neurological, and chronic illnesses for which FDA suspects that vaccines may be the cause.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
*** and ***
“Fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. The CDC’s entire vaccination propaganda campaign rests on their claim that side effects from vaccination are exceedingly rare, but according to the blatantly pro-over-vaccination, and Big Pharma-funded CDC, in 2016 alone, VAERS received 59,117 vaccine adverse event reports. Among those reports were 432 vaccine-related deaths, 1,091 permanent vaccine-related disabilities, 4,132 vaccine-related hospitalizations, and 10,274 vaccine-related emergency room visits. What if these numbers actually represent less than 1% of the total as this report asserts? You multiply those numbers by 100.” – William Christenson
*** end quote ***
I’ve ranted about the VAERS and the billions it has paid out before.
I am personally very suspicious. Not an anti-VAX-er, but close.

POLITICAL: Why The Left-Wing Seems Insane (Mostly Because They Are), by L. Neil Smith
Tuesday, July 7, 2020If the human species is to survive the present century, if Western Civilization is to survive, this irrational tendency must be treated as the mental disease it is and wiped out. I am nobody’s Republican, but it is absolutely essential that Republicans retain the Senate and the White House this Fall and take back the House of Representatives. Republicans, for the most part, are cowardly and stupid—the timorous and brain-dead attitude of Sean Hannity and Judge Jeanine Pirro toward private gun ownership and individual self-defense is an extremely sad example—but at least they are not completely insane.

GUNS: THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
Monday, July 6, 2020Having not read The Weapon Shops of Isher in some years and unable to find my old paperback copy I ordered a replacement from Amazon. So there it was, on the first page, in the prologue:
THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
People have understood this for generations, it took a lot of efforts (yes, I put that plural on purpose) by anti-immigrant bigots, people seeking favor with protection racketeers, racists, fascists, and fake liberals to reach the current level of hostility to the right to bear arms our so-called betters keep trying to keep stirred up
Source: Letters to the Editor
# – # – # – # – #
Seems absolutely correct to me!
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Tyler Durden Sat, 07/04/2020 – 17:00

Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, and hide Biden in the basement till Election Day… Joe Biden is tragically suffering a mental eclipse and sliding away at a geometric rate.
Source: The Strategies Of Dementia Politics
*** begin quote ***
The progressive media have put Biden’s blank stares and word searching off limits. We are not supposed to remember that Trump was hounded by progressive M.D.s, to the point that he took — and aced — the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, an examination that no one in his right mind would suggest Biden now take, given that the results would be no surprise.
