Fortnite/Epic Games versus app store taxes

*** begin quote ***

Epic Games kicked off a brief, enthralling campaign against Apple and Google yesterday. First, it emerged that it had found a way to offer discounted in-app purchases in Fortnite, the lifeblood of the game. All without Apple or Google taking a cut, the lifeblood of those app stores.

*** and ***

Epic filed legal action against both companies. One interesting wrinkle in the lawsuit against Google is a new claim by Epic that accuses Google of crushing Fortnite deals with OnePlus, LG (Android Authority).
Spotify chimed in to support Epic, too (MacRumors).

So, it’s a Battle Royale.

Choosing sides:

We’re well into the era of companies having committed enough fans to entice them to fight against fans of other companies.

*** end quote ***

Hope they “kill” each other for the benefit of lower costs to consumers. Just light an old “free capitalistic marketplace” should operate.

NEWJERSEY: Your License, Or Your Conscience?

Friday, August 14, 2020

Your License, Or Your Conscience? A Tale of the Pandemic
By Walter Olson

*** begin quote ***

The story of one man’s stand on principle and the patients who were saved, from Jewish family weekly Mishpacha via Ira Stoll:

Early on, a talmid called with a complicated question. As an operator of several nursing homes, he was being forced to accept residents who’d tested positive for the virus as they were released from hospitals that no longer wanted them. Despite the clear danger to their current residents and staff, the nursing homes were being given no choice.

Rav Shmuel told him unequivocally that to accept these patients was a form of retzichah, murder, since it put the other residents at serious risk. But then, on a conference call, the governor informed all nursing home operators that failure to accept the patients would mean losing their licenses.

The talmid called Rav Shmuel again. Lose your license, the Rosh Yeshivah ruled, but you can’t put your elderly residents in danger.

The nursing home operator listened to his rebbi.

Weeks later, he stood tall as the only major nursing home operator in the state of New Jersey who didn’t lose a single resident to Covid‐​19.

*** end quote ***

Throughout history, there have been stories of courageous women and men, who have stood up for their conscience and, often, paid a terrible price up to and including their lives.

Here’s a example of one such hero.  

And I don’t use that word as lightly as others in today’s society.

Guess like in the Olympics there are different tiers based on what you risk — your life like in opposing the Nazis, your health in many of the Dead Old White Guys in the American revolution, your freedom, your fortune, or anything like that.  

I include the grocery store clerk who shows up for work and risks his life for a few bucks to survive.

Here’s a man who put his business at risk and stood afoul of a politician!

We’ll have to stand with him when he reprisals come from the tyrant.

HEALTH: More conflicting information

Thursday, August 13, 2020

https://off-guardian.org/2020/07/02/no-one-has-died-from-the-coronavirus-president-of-the-bulgarian-pathology-association/

“No one has died from the coronavirus”Important revelations shared by Dr Stoian Alexov, President of the Bulgarian Pathology Association
Rosemary Frei and Patrick Corbett

*** begin quote ***

Ahigh-profile European pathologist is reporting that he and his colleagues across Europe have not found any evidence of any deaths from the novel coronavirus on that continent.

Dr. Stoian Alexov called the World Health Organization (WHO) a “criminal medical organization” for creating worldwide fear and chaos without providing objectively verifiable proof of a pandemic.

Another stunning revelation from Bulgarian Pathology Association (BPA) president Dr. Alexov is that he believes it’s currently “impossible” to create a vaccine against the virus.

He also revealed that European pathologists haven’t identified any antibodies that are specific for SARS-CoV-2.

These stunning statements raise major questions, including about officials’ and scientists’ claims regarding the many vaccines they’re rushing into clinical trials around the world.

They also raise doubt about the veracity of claims of discovery of anti-novel-coronavirus antibodies (which are beginning to be used to treat patients).

*** end quote ***

Of course, this is a month old.  But it’s the first report to “leak” out.

Clearly, it doesn’t support the narrative from the Big Media Borg, and the “Orange Man Bad” alliance.

Could it be that “We, The Sheeple” will never know the truth?

I expect that the clamor will die down after November 4th if their candidate wins!

NEWJERSEY: So “what officials envision” rules!

By Daniel Nee – August 12, 2020

A proposal to add another bar and restaurant to the Seaside Heights boardwalk at Kearney Avenue has been denied in an 8-0 vote by the planning board, keeping in line with what officials envision as a quieter, more residential north end of the boardwalk.

HISTORY: The Nazi Interrogator Who Killed Them With Kindness

Tuesday, August 11, 2020

But one notable German man, who one prisoner would note could get a confession of infidelity from a nun, employed very different means of interrogation, often with much more success than with the point of a bayonet- killing them with kindness. His name was Hanns Scharff – the kind-hearted Nazi interrogator.

Flashback Friday: Will You Live Longer if You Take Vitamin D Supplements & How Much Should You Take?
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM  July 31st, 2020 

*** begin quote ***

So, what’s a safe dose that will likely get us to the purported optimal level? 1,000 units a day should get most people up to the target 75 nmol/L (which is 30 ng/mL). But by most people, they mean 50%. To get around 85% of the population up to 75 would require 2,000 a day. 2,000 international units a day would shift the curve from here to here. That way, we can take the average person into the desired range without fear of toxicity. You can take too much vitamin D, but you don’t tend to see problems until blood levels get up around 250, which would take consistent daily doses in excess of 10,000.

*** end quote ***

I take 5k per day and my blood level in July was … 63.2!

Why else would Bill Clinton be on Epstein’s flight logs if not to take advantage of and sexually abuse underage girls? The unsealed documents also allege of frequent orgies on Little St. James island involving prominent celebrities and underage girls – and many have long believed since Harvey Weinstein that the entire movie industry is rotten inside and out, manipulating and abusing children for naught other than sheer deviancy and degeneracy.

POLITICAL: Doctors Are Not Always Right – LewRockwell

Saturday, August 8, 2020

Earlier this week, the Big Tech giants removed a viral Breitbart video featuring America’s Frontline Doctors, who promoted HCQ both as a preventive measure and as a cure for Covid-19. According to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube it was spreading “misinformation on Covid.” This was deleted from my Facebook page. How many physicians determined this was misinformation on Covid? People have the right to listen to any qualified opinions from licenced physicians they want.

NEWJERSEY: Gooferment “regulated” industries suck!

Friday, August 7, 2020

Public Information Officer Laura Connolly, New Jersey Office of Emergency Management AGENCY

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) continues to restore service to customers who lost power and has activated our retail water and ice program. For those customers remaining without power for 24 hours or more, JCP&L is offering free water and ice at the following locations beginning 8/5/20 at … …

*** end quote ***

Anyone else see a problem with Gooferment “regulated” industries?

If we have competing power companies, I would imagine that (1) “outages” would be few and far between; and (2) if we were dissatisfied, we could switch.  That’s why McD’s and BK strive for consistency nation-wide.

Here is 08751 we have the worst of all worlds.  The Gooferment’s “electric utility” contracts with JCPL for service. 

During this storm, 22 townships were without power, but we couldn’t complain to JCP&L or the NJ “state Gooferment” BPU.

And, all the people could do was wait for restoration from “someone” “somewhere” “sometime”. Argh!

And “We, The Sheeple” just take it.  (As a G rated blog, I’ll leave it at that!)

HEALTH: Hydroxychloroquine One More Time, by Paul Craig Roberts – The Unz Review

Thursday, August 6, 2020

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is under attack for two reasons. One is that Trump recommended it based on Dr. Zelenko’s successful cures of his patients in New York. Consequently, Democrats and the presstitutes have allied with Big Pharma and demonized HCQ hoping to use the false claim that it causes heart attacks to discredit Trump and reduce his chance of reelection. The other is that Big Pharma and the public health organizations, such as NIH, CDC, and WHO which have revolving door relationships with Big Pharma and share in the revenues, are desperate to block an effective and inexpensive treatment when they can make billions of dollars on a mandated vaccine and an ineffectual treatment known as Remdesivir.

HEALTH: The Crowding Out Strategy to Eating Healthier

Monday, August 3, 2020

The Crowding Out Strategy to Eating Healthier
Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM on July 28th, 2020

*** begin quote ***

In the United States, “if one-half of the U.S. population were to increase fruit and vegetable consumption by one serving each per day, an estimated 20,000 cancer cases might be avoided each year.” That’s 20,000 people who would not have gotten cancer had they been eating their fruits and veggies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends we “fill half [our] plate with colorful fruits and vegetables,” but less than 10 percent of Americans hit the recommended daily target. Given this sorry state of affairs, should we even bother telling people to strive for “5 a day,” or might just saying “get one more serving than you usually do” end up working better? Researchers thought that “the more realistic ‘just 1 more’ goal would be more effective than the very ambitious ‘5 a day’ goal,” but they were wrong.

It seems that changing our diet to avoid cancer is “low hanging fruit”!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “There is no dispute that there are vaccine safety issues”

Sunday, August 2, 2020

 

https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/07/attkissons-full-response-to-washington-post-questions-about-media-matters-blog-against-hydroxychloroquine/

Attkisson’s full response to Washington Post questions about Media Matters’ blog against hydroxychloroquine
DATED: JULY 28, 2020 BY SHARYL ATTKISSON 

*** begin quote ***

Attkisson: Well first, there is no dispute that there are vaccine safety issues; there is an entire court and compensation fund set up that has paid out billions of dollars to vaccine patients/victims… that’s not the dispute. It doesn’t mean all vaccines are dangerous (any more than all medicine is dangerous or safe). I certainly haven’t suggested any such thing. Ever. And I think it’s hard to accurately call me a vaccine skeptic having been fully vaccinated with a fully vaccinated child. And many stories I’ve reported are on the opposite side of a group. Firestone, Ford and NHTSA said the tires were safe. The govt. and many others insisted guns were never walked. That’s how truth is often ultimately revealed or new facts come to light. As they have. What is your professional view of the govt.’s top pro-vaccine expert in court, a world renowned pediatric neurologist, who told DOJ that vaccines can and do cause autism in rare cases, after all? Newsworthy? Especially when he says (in a sworn affidavit) that DOJ misrepresented and covered up his findings? And names names? Whether you believe him or not, it’s hard to argue that’s not noteworthy. I wonder why so few reported that. Why shouldn’t people hear his scientific views along with the other ones so widely pushed on them by so many interests? Also, do you think it’s noteworthy that CDC’s top immunization official acknowledges that certain conditions in children may make them susceptible to autism, and that a that should be investigated? (only the govt won’t fund such studies for some reason). Also CDC’s top immunization official acknowledges that’s apparently what happened (vaccines triggered autism in a child with predisposition) in one landmark court case years ago… that the govt. secretly paid and had sealed so nobody else would know– only it leaked out. Newsworthy? I think so.

*** end quote ***

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

Here’s a demonstration that there is ALWAYS a narrative and “We, The Sheeple” are merely “cattle on the Gooferment farm”!

At some point in time, one must learn to be skeptical of everything we are told. (Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear! — old wives tale advice)

And, I’m not taking any vaccine that the Gooferment “rushes” into production.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Consistent Inaccuracies bu Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats

Saturday, August 1, 2020

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/07/joseph-mercola/consistent-inaccuracies-in-covid-19-testing-and-reporting/

Consistent Inaccuracies in COVID-19 Testing and Reporting

*** begin quote ***

“If they reported 50 positives with 100% positive tests, for example, the number of tests reported to the state is 50. If they did 500 tests to get those 50 positives, 450 tests were not reported to the state and were not added to the total number of tests reported by the state.”

*** and ***

An overall mortality rate of 0.1% is right in line with statistics cited by Stanford University’s disease prevention chairman Dr. John Ioannidis as well, who in a June 27, 2020, interview with Greek Reporter said: (Footnote 34)

“0.05% to 1% is a reasonable range for what the data tell us now for the infection fatality rate, with a median of about 0.25%. For people younger than 45, the infection fatality rate is almost 0%. For 45 to 70, it is probably about 0.05-0.3%.”

*** end quote ***

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

This fiasco has more than enough proof.

GOLD: Will the price of gas reflect the price of gold?

Friday, July 31, 2020

“… … the idea that gold will break above $5,000 per ounce in due time.”
https://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2020/07/gold-price-breaks-above-1900.html

# – # – # – # – #

​This will be a disaster for Joe Sixpack and “We, The Sheeple”.

5k$/oz gold implies 50$​/oz silver and if I go my math correctly 12.50$/gal gasoline.

I don’t think the USA can survive that.

Today the price of gold and silver is artificially suppressed by the Gooferments and the Central Banks of the world.  If, and not so big an “if” imho, the U$D loses its “reserve currency” status and the “petrodollar” monopoly ends,  the USA will be hurting as the “very ugly chickens” come home to roost (i.e., the FED printed trillions come back to the USA).

Smithsonian Institution Explains That ‘Rationality’ & ‘Hard Work’ Are Racist
by Tyler Durden
Tue, 07/21/2020 – 20:25

*** begin quote ***

After an online outcry, the Smithsonian removed the chart on Thursday night — but not with any denunciation of the chart’s content, only the bland understatement that the chart turned out to “not contribute to the productive discussion” they had wished for. Of course, the lack of “productive discussion” shouldn’t have surprised, given the shoddy scholarship it reflected. The original chart contained a single footnote linking to a one-page PDF asserting, sans evidence, that traits such as “hard work,” “self-reliance,” and politeness “are common characteristics of most U.S. White people most of the time.”

*** end quote ***

This is my tax dollars at work even though I would NOT fund it if I had a choice.  Too PC for me.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Remdesivir — a conflict of interest story

36 Steps Medical Authorities Have Taken To Guarantee Maximum Death & Disruption from Coronavirus

*** begin quote ***

Dr. Nass points out that the National Institute of Health’s committee that sets guidelines for coronavirus treatment has 16 members with financial entanglements with Gilead, including two of the three co-chairmen of the committee.  Dr. Nass asks:  “Are you surprised that their guidelines recommend specifically against the use of hydroxychloroquine and in favor of Remdesivir, and that they deem this (Remdesivir) the new ‘standard of care’”?

Now ask yourself, when the entirety of the Western media and the medical establishment purposely cause illness and death so that money can be made, why do you believe what media and authorities tell you about George Floyd’s death and everything else?

On what big issue have we ever been told the truth by media and authorities? USS Liberty?  9/11?  Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction?  Assad’s use of chemical weapons?  Iranian nukes?  Russian bounties to the Taliban to kill US soldiers? Russiagate?  Impeachgate?

Many commentators have been suspicious of the pandemic seeing that it serves control and profit.  Many are convinced that the pandemic was unleashed on the world for power and money.  My own view has been that the dangerous virus probably escaped from a lab and that Big Pharma, Bill Gates, and the police state have been quick to use it for their agendas.

In astonishing footage, the squirrel runs after a child and stands on its hind legs, stretching out its front paws to beg for the bottle.
