IPHONE: Mike Lindell is an object lesson in backup and recovery
Thursday, September 15, 2022“I Got Bad News For You”: Mike Lindell Speaks Out After FBI Seizes Phone
by Tyler Durden — Thursday, Sep 15, 2022 – 11:20 AM
Authored by Eva Fu via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
*** begin quote ***
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was picking up food at a fast food chain drive-through when three cars driven by federal agents blocked him.
*** and ***
“Well, I got bad news for you: we are going to take your cell phone,” Lindell remembered the agents saying.
“No you are not, I’d rather be arrested, you are not going to get my phone,” he replied. Since he doesn’t have a computer, he said his phone was an essential device that he leans on to run his five businesses.
“They want people to be scared to talk to Mike Lindell,” Lindell, who relented and handed over his phone after consulting his lawyer, told The Epoch Times on Wednesday.
“You might get your phone taken at a drive-thru restaurant, you might get your door bashed in by the FBI,” he said, noting the string of FBI subpoenas for allies of former President Donald Trump reported in recent weeks.
While Lindell initially thought the FBI was interested in him as part of the House probe into the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, the agents told him they had two separate cases in which he is named.
*** and ***
The FBI turned down Lindell’s request to back up his phone. “That was something that really upset me,” he said, adding that his last phone backup was from a couple of weeks earlier.
But the recent FBI actions, he said, won’t dissuade him from his advocacy efforts.
“The government weaponized the FBI, trying to scare me, trying to scare other people, but it didn’t change a thing,” he said. “This is Gestapo in Nazi Germany. This is what we’re up against.”
“It didn’t rattle me,” he added. “I’m not going to unsee what I’ve seen.”
Regarding his phone, Lindell is confident that the FBI will realize “there’s nothing in here.”
“I do all things by calls, I rarely text, and I never email,” he said. “So whatever they’re looking for, they’re going to be on a wild goose chase.”
Lindell’s lawyer is working to get his client’s phone back, and meanwhile, Lindell says he has already moved on.
*** end quote ***
“his last phone backup was from a couple of weeks earlier.”
Maybe I should apply for a job as his IT guru. If that phone is his “lifeline”, then he should have a hot back up.
Didn’t say if it was an iPhone. If it was he could have a hot backup to iCloud.
I don’t do anything important and I have a backup phone and a backup computer.
Remember “2 is 1; 1 is none! redundant capability; not redundant gear!”
There’s no excuse for only one back up that weeks old.
Argh!

VOCABULARY: ‘Little League’ homer

Yankees hold off Red Sox thanks to overturned call, ‘Little League’ homer
By Dan Martin September 14, 2022 10:49pm Updated
*** begin quote ***
The second baseman’s resurgence continued with his RBI single in the fifth inning that turned into a Keystone Kops home run thanks to some inept defense by the Red Sox, who made three errors on the night that led to four unearned runs.
In the fifth, Torres singled to right to drive in Aaron Hicks and then catcher Connor Wong took Verdugo’s throw from right and in an attempt to get Torres who had wandered too far around first, threw the ball back into right field.
It allowed Judge to score easily and a hustling Torres circled the bases and slid home safely.
*** end quote ***
Interesting new “word” — Little League Homer — to describe something that is often seen in Little League games where they throw the ball around allowing runners to advance.

TINFOILHAT: Covid Vaccines Cover-up? (Governmental / Commercial Conspiracy Theory)
Thursday, September 15, 2022Covid Vaccines Cover-up
By Chuck Baldwin
September 9, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Proof That Serious Safety Problems Existed With The Covid Vaccines And Were Deliberately Covered Up
Steve Kirsch has an explosive investigative report: [N.B. Link below]
Israel didn’t start to gather safety data until a year into the vaccine program. They gathered 6 months worth of data and found that the vaccines weren’t safe so they lied to the world about it.
This is the most important article on my Substack (which has over 700 articles). This one article has enough information regarding both harms and corruption that it should bring down the house of cards if there is just one honest person in a position of authority in the world.
We now have proof of:
1. Serious side-effects of unknown duration, perhaps irreparable
2. Causality: these were not just “coincidences”
3. Government corruption to hide these harms
4. Correlation between vaccine doses and deaths from multiple independent studies on multiple independent datasets
5. No interest in seeing the expert report or the video from any mainstream news media, any member of the mainstream medical community, any lawmaker, any public health official anywhere in the world
The precautionary principle of medicine now demands an immediate halt to the COVID vaccination program.
The key facts in a nutshell:
1. The Israeli health authority knew the vaccines were harming people: the side effects of the vaccine are neither mild nor short term. In fact, in 65% of the neurological cases that mentioned duration, the symptoms are all on-going.
2. They also established causality: the side effects were caused by the vaccine. This is something no one else had been able to establish before.
3. They don’t know how serious the harm is because they only looked at the data for the top five categories. Cardiovascular was #6. So they have only looked at a fraction of the data.
4. The researchers do not know the prevalence of these serious side effects because they were just provided with the numerator, not the denominator (similar to VAERS).
5. The Israeli authorities deliberately covered up the safety issues and hid it from the world, issuing a false report essentially saying “there is nothing new to see here folks, move along.”
6. The only good news in all of this is that Israel protected Palestinians from getting this very unsafe vaccine. That was very humane of the Israelis.
7. The Israeli people aren’t stupid. They have figured out the vaccines are “unsafe and ineffective” (my new tagline for the vaccines… what do you think? catchy isn’t it?) and are no longer complying with government directives to be vaccinated. Just 2.4% of the Israeli population is “in compliance” as of Sept 2, 2022:
Did you know that according to an analysis of data from the MoH, the COVID vaccine kills 40 times more old people than it saves?
Dr. Herve Seligmann works at the Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. He is of Israeli-Luxembourg nationality.
Using Israel MoH data, Haim Yative and Dr. Seligmann, Israeli researchers, found that the COVID-19 vaccine killed 40 times (40x) the amount of elderly people than the disease would have and 260 times more younger people than would have died from the virus in a 3 week period shortly after the shots.
This is a blockbuster exposé. If there was ANY honesty and integrity among America’s federal government and the national news media, this report would be the most prominent news story nationwide and a cessation of the Covid vaccines distribution would be issued immediately.
The fact that almost everyone in the U.S. government, national news media and medical industry is totally ignoring and continuing to cover up the truth about the dangers of the Covid vaccines shows just how deep the corruption runs in our country.
What many of us have been saying for over two years is now categorically proven correct: Covid vaccinations are kill shots; and they have been from day number one.
You need to read Kirsch’s report in its entirety and spread it as far and wide as you can.
*** end quote ***
OK! Here we have an assertion of a massive International cover up. It’s a Governmental / Commercial Conspiracy Theory. And I’d assign it a “3. More likely than not” veracity level.
That means to me that the alternative media is calling the Gooferment, Big Pharma, and Corporate Media criminal liars.
What will happen next is unclear to me. But it is obvious that people are noticing.

RANT: Is the USA in moral decay and decline?

Is Vladimir Putin A Christian?
By Chuck Baldwin
*** begin quote ***
Russia’s leader has been demonized more than any national leader since Adolf Hitler. Does he deserve it? Is he the monster the mainstream media paints him to be, or is he actually a devout Christian man trying to save his country from a corrupt, decadent West?
From Russian-Faith.com
Putin continuously makes it clear that he envisions Russia as a Christian country.
In 2014, Putin called for the restoration of Kremlin’s historic Chudov (“of the Miracle”) and Voznesensky (Ascension) monasteries both of which were destroyed by the Bolsheviks. He also wants another church destroyed by the Bolsheviks in the Kremlin to be rebuilt.
The Kremlin is both the political and historic center not just of Moscow but of Russia. By calling for the restoration of these Christian buildings Putin repudiated the Soviet legacy with its atheist ideology and its record of anti-Christianity and reaffirms Orthodoxy as the heart of Russian culture.
A key element of Putin’s worldview is not just his commitment to the Russian Orthodox Church as an institution, but also his admiration for three 19th and 20th century Russian Christian philosophers—Nikolai Berdyaev, Vladimir Solovyov and Ivan Ilyin, all of whom he often quotes in his speeches. Russia’s regional governors were even instructed to read the works of these philosophers during their 2014 winter holidays.
Studying the causes of Russia’s 20th century tragedy, Ilyin wrote:
“The Russian revolution is a reflection of the religious crisis we are living through now, an attempt to establish an anti-Christian public and state system thought up by Friedrich Nietzsche and economically and politically realized by Karl Marx. This anti-Christian virus was exported to Russia from the West…..
Losing our bond with God and the Christian tradition, mankind has become morally blind and gripped by materialism, irrationalism and nihilism.”
In Ilyin’s view, the way to overcome this global moral crisis is for people to return to “eternal moral values”, which he defined as “faith, love, freedom, conscience, family, motherland and nation” but above all “faith and love”.
“To make Russia great again the Russian people should believe in God. This faith will strengthen their minds and willpower. It will make them strong enough to overcome themselves.”
It’s difficult to really know the truth about Putin. I must confess that the more I hear the man speak, the more impressed I am with him. And, no, I haven’t forgotten that words are often cheap.
What I do know is the man who is now identified as America’s president is one of the most corrupt, duplicitous, tyrannical and evil world leaders to ever draw a breath. With a totally warped, wicked, warmongering idiot sitting in the Oval Office, it gives Americans very little room to criticize anyone else’s leader.
*** end quote ***
An interesting perspective. Perhaps there is a real element of truth in this! That the USA is descending into moral decay just like the Roman Empire and Russia is returning to the path up and out of the moral decay of Communism.
Certainly worth considering when you see the Hollywood, the East and West coast elite, and politicians & bureaucrats, how they live and the morals they espouse.
Sigh! Sadly.
Let’s proceed to set our own house in order.

VOCABULARY: “Fact checker” — a hyperpartisan fanatic
Tuesday, September 13, 2022https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/checkers?e=39307912ab
The “fact checker” scam
Tom Woods
*** begin quote ***
One of the most laughable developments of recent years has been the rise of the “fact-checker.”
The fact-checker, in the fantasy version, is a nonpartisan, dispassionate expert who wants to prevent people from being misled.
In the planet-Earth version, the fact checker is a hyperpartisan fanatic who wants to prevent people from entertaining thoughts at odds with the narrative the regime is trying to present.
*** end quote ***
And usually paid for by the folks that profit from the regime’s narrative.

INSPIRATIONAL: Is a fetus a ‘person’? — Yes!
Monday, September 12, 2022Is a fetus a ‘person’? A fringe idea could be the next post-Roe v. Wade chapter | Editorial
Opinion by the Miami Herald Editorial Board, Miami Herald – Yesterday 11:56 AM
*** begin quote ***
A pregnant woman walks into an emergency room experiencing a miscarriage, or she gives birth to a stillborn. Someone becomes suspicious and notifies police. They want to know: Is the woman at fault? Everything she’s done during her pregnancy comes under scrutiny. Did she take any drugs or medication? Did she research abortions on the internet?
A “pro-life” prosecutor decides to make her a pariah. She might face criminal charges, child endangerment or, worst-case scenario, manslaughter or murder if prosecutors believe she intended to end her pregnancy.
This is a dystopian scenario — what could happen if anti-abortion zealots take their positions to an extreme. And it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Abortion-rights groups fear the next frontier in the fight to take away reproductive rights is to grant fetuses “personhood” status. Anti-abortion groups such as Americans United for Life are pushing for a federal executive order that would recognize “preborn persons as constitutional ‘persons’ ” entitled to equal protection under the U.S. Constitution. Florida’s U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio recently introduced the ‘‘Unborn Child Support Act,” which would grant child-support payments to women “at any stage of development” of a pregnancy. The legislation appears to be a way to make fetal personhood more palatable to Americans.
*** end quote ***
The Bible goes even further to explain that the unborn life is valuable because he or she has been uniquely created by God. Paul declares, “He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else” (Acts 17:25).
There is evidence of the “remarkable “flash” at the moment of fertilization”.
However, from a scientific standpoint, at the moment of fertilization of the egg by the sperm, a completely new organism is present. The organism is not a part of the mother’s body although he or she is located within the mother’s body. Half of the time, the organism is a boy. The genetic complement of the new human being is unique and different from that of the mother.
The argument that this unique human being present in the mother’s womb from the moment of fertilization is a part of the mother’s body until sometime later in gestation is, from a scientific viewpoint, bizarre. What this argument would imply is that human beings reproduce by a process of budding, which is a process by which a new individual organism forms from a part of the mother’s body. This is the means of reproduction of some species of worms but it is most certainly not a means of reproduction by human beings.
So, then the question becomes when does a human being deserve the rights that we believe every human being has?
It really doesn’t matter what milestone that society designates. The only one that is “logical” is conception, imho.

Sad but Not Surprising: Professors, Politicians and The New York Times Speak Ill of the Queen and Her Legacy
Rebecca Downs
Posted: Sep 09, 2022 10:15 AM
*** begin quote ***
Editor’s note: This article includes tweets containing vulgar language.
Even before Queen Elizabeth II was officially confirmed dead, her haters were dancing on her grave. We’re not just talking random Twitter users, but a verified professor, Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon, as our friends at Twitchy highlighted throughout Thursday. While many current and former world leaders, including from the United States, have sent their condolences, those Australian politician Mehreen Faruqi’s rang hollow, as she brought up colonization in a tweet, and then restricted replies.
Condolences to those who knew the Queen.
I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples.
We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.
— Mehreen Faruqi (@MehreenFaruqi) September 9, 2022
*** end quote ***
Now I’m no fan of the British “royalty” or their system of Gooferment, but we here in the USA have our own problems.
Whatever you can say about the Brits, they are polite. And, in polite company, one never speaks ill of the dead.
Sounds like Professor Faruqi is getting her 15 minutes of fame at the Queen’s expense.
Where has the Professor been hiding these comments before the Queen’s death?
And why restrict replies?
Time for everyone to turn away from “hate speech” and face our problems. No one is perfect, but as “leaders” go, she was a pretty classy lady.
