Pelosi district gets $2.1M to remove wood-fired devices as Congress offers tax credits for wood heat

  • Emissions reduction program spends taxpayer dollars to replace wood-burning stoves, fireplaces with electric heat pumps in district represented by House Speaker, who shepherded through Congress relief package that incentivizes wood heat.

*** begin quote ***

“It’s duplication nation,” said Adam Andrzejewski, CEO & Founder of the public spending watchdog group, OpenTheBooks.com. “Thoughtful and careful legislating is a thing of past. Simultaneously giving tax credits to install wood-burning devices and grants to replace them (to save the environment) is a great example of congressional insanity.

*** end quote ***

Here’s yet another example of incentivizing to install and at the same time to replace.

And the insanity continues.

What if “we” did neither and gave the money back to the taxpayers?

How many more programs like this are there?

Argh!

HEALTH: Reopening Texas ‘100 Percent’ Had “No Impact”

Saturday, May 29, 2021

A New Study Confirms That Reopening Texas ‘100 Percent’ Had No Discernible Impact on COVID-19 Cases or Deaths
Reason (analysis) 

“Anthony Fauci, Biden’s top COVID-19 adviser, said lifting mask mandates ‘is really quite risky,’ because ‘when you pull back on measures of public health, invariably you’ve seen a surge’ in cases and deaths. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said she had a ‘recurring feeling’ of ‘impending doom,’ warning that premature relaxation of ‘public health prevention strategies’ could lead to a ‘fourth surge.’ More than two months later, the public health disaster predicted by Abbott’s critics has not materialized.”

# – # – # – # – #

“Well, I’m not a <insert profession that requires a lot of study>, I have never played one on TV, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but here are some simple thoughts.” (My standard disclaimer!)

But putting on my “infectious disease” costume, white coat and all, and I think it is factual to say that we don’t know squat about the WuFlu.

And certainly should be taking “medical advice” from new readers, celebrities, Gooferment bureaucrats, or politicians.

Safest is to decide for yourself, with input from YOUR doctor, what risks you want to take.

I have; I urge you to do likewise.

Someone hit my Apple Card for 150 $ in music so I had to change its number.

No one has access to my phone. And I mean no one!

LIBERTY: Half of academic publishing is controlled by only five publishers?!?

Activists Mobilize to Fight Censorship and Save Open Science

Major publishers want to censor research-sharing resource Sci-Hub from the internet, but archivists are quickly responding to make that impossible. 

More than half of academic publishing is controlled by only five publishers. This position is built on the premise that users should pay for access to scientific research, to compensate publishers for their investment in editing, curating, and publishing it. In reality, research is typically submitted and evaluated by scholars without compensation from the publisher. What this model is actually doing is profiting off of a restriction on article access using burdensome paywalls. One project in particular, Sci-Hub, has threatened to break down this barrier by sharing articles without restriction. As a result, publishers are going to every corner of the map to destroy the project and wipe it from the internet. Continuing the long tradition of internet hacktivism, however, redditors are mobilizing to create an uncensorable back-up of Sci-Hub.

*** and ***

For example, there are federal bills like the Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), or state bills such as California’s A.B. 2192, which can require government-funded research to be made freely available. The principle behind these bills is simple: if the public-funded the research, the public shouldn’t have to pay again to access it.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like EFF has heard the “kittens” all in a row.

I’m going to make “my” politicians “aware” and get them to make the same rule as FAST and CA, if the taxpayers paid for it, then it should be OPEN!!!

HEALTH: Scientists predict the maximum human lifespan

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9617293/Scientists-predict-maximum-human-lifespan-suggest-150-oldest-age-reach.html

Scientists predict the maximum human lifespan – and suggest 150 is the oldest age we’ll EVER reach

  • Researchers used extensive medical and fitness data from UK and US volunteers
  • This included blood test results, daily steps taken and information on their DNA
  • This was fed into an artificial intelligence system to calculate maximum lifespan 
  • The authors found that resilience and biological age play key roles in lifespan
  • Finding that the maximum a human can live naturally is from 120 to 150 years

TINFOILHAT: Are the WuFlu “vaccines” time bombs?

Covid Vaccines May Bring Avalanche of Neurological Disease

How Can You Protect Yourself From the Vaccine or Exposure to Those That Were Vaccinated?

Indeed, that is the question of the day. We talked about shedding from the vaccine. Obviously, the vaccine does not classically shed virus particles but it can easily cause people to shed spike proteins, and it is these spike proteins that may cause just as much damage as the virus.

While Seneff’s paper didn’t delve deeply into solutions, it provides a major clue, which is that your body has the capacity to address many of these problems through a process called autophagy. This is the process of removal of damaged proteins in your body.

One effective strategy that will upregulate autophagy is periodic fasting or time-restricted eating. Most people eat more than 12 hours a day. Gradually lowering that to a six- to eight-hour window will radically improve your metabolic flexibility and decrease insulin resistance.

Another beneficial practice is sauna therapy, which upregulates heat shock proteins. I have discussed this extensively in previous articles. Heat shock proteins work by refolding proteins that are misfolded. They also tag damaged proteins and target them for removal.

Another vital strategy is to eliminate all processed vegetable oils (seed oils), which means eliminating virtually all processed foods as they are loaded with them. Seed oils will radically impair mitochondrial energy production, increase oxidative stress and damage your immune system.

Seed oils also are likely to contain glyphosate, as it is heavily used on the crops that produce them. Obviously, it is important to avoid glyphosate contamination in all your food, which you can minimize by buying only certified organic foods.

Finally, you want to optimize your innate immune system and one of the best ways to do that is to get enough sun exposure, wearing in your bathing suit, to have your vitamin level reach 60 to 80 ng/ml (100 to 150 nmol/l).

I don’t understand it all but I understand enough of it to believe that we are messing around in God’s territory,

Hopefully “we” have not created our own “extinction event”.
