So for the average layman, it means that if any service provider texts codes to your phone as a way of security your account, they are at risk of a security breach.
I’ve begin communicating with the providers I use putting them on notice that (1) they are using a insecure technology to secure my account; and (2) when do they plan to switch to a phone based authentication technology or something better.
Now, if they say they use GOOGLE or APPLE authenticator, you can point out that those too are insecure by design. Since a hack of either high profile target, will make you vulnerable.
Using the “home grown” authenticator, (something written by the service provider like IDME), doesn’t have the transparency of the source code to assure security.
Any “home grown” authenticator, Google, orApple authenticators does NOT separate the necessary sufficient controls for good Information Security.
Suggest you tell them support AUTHY or other third party authenticators. This is more secure because the “key” is only held by them and by you locally on your phone.
Or if they really want to protect you, they can give you are hardware token like YUBIKEY or a hardware authenticator like SECURE_ID.

Officer’s Murder In TX Undermines Gun Control Arguments
By Tom Knighton | Oct 13, 2021 2:30 PM ET
*** begin quote ***
In the United States, no firearm is as tightly controlled as machine guns. You have to get permission from law enforcement to buy one, then you pay a special tax, all to get a fully automatic weapon. It’s everything the gun control crowd could want. Especially since people can’t buy anything made after the 1987 machine gun ban, thus making the surviving weapons extremely expensive.
Based on the arguments of anti-Second Amendment types, this should mean no one is ever killed by a machine gun.
And yet, a Houston police officer was killed with one earlier this year, as the officer’s bodycam footage makes clear.
*** and ***
What these people tend to forget is that criminals are ingenious.
More specifically, some criminals are ingenious. They will find all sorts of ways to do illegal things no matter what you throw up to stop them. We now have to sign in order to get certain allergy meds because some used the stuff to make meth, but since the rule went into effect, meth manufacturing has chugged along just fine, simply shifting to a different ingredient.
Guns are no different.

I like to say that USSA (United Socialist States of Amerika) has the finest light infantry in the world. Our drug gangs and others have enough munitions to resist an invasion for decades.
Remember: “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” — apocryphal unsourced quote attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
So to the “crime” problem will NEVER be solved.
Look at NYC with no bail and no insane asylums. How’s that working out for us?
And look at the “lab experiment” in the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah, where the streets are covered in human (synonym for excrement) and drug stores are closing due to shoplifting on steroids.

CNN Takes Another Stab at My Best-Seller
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
October 11, 2021
*** begin quote ***
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- August 4, 2021, CNN aired a hit piece on me based on a fabricated report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which has since been refuted by Facebook
- October 4, 2021, CNN aired a follow-up, urging Amazon to get into the book burning business by banning sale of my best-selling book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal”
- They claim my book is full of “lies,” “misinformation” and “mistruths.” But not a single piece of evidence to back that up is presented
- By and large, the COVID shot is unnecessary for most people, for the simple reason that most people aren’t at risk of dying from COVID-19
- Your risk of dying from COVID-19 is less than 1%, and your absolute risk reduction from the COVID shot is right around 1% (maxing out at 1.3%). This means it is mathematically impossible for COVID “vaccines” to have a favorable impact on public health
*** and ***
Baldwin replied to this short-list with the following mainstream media links, none of which, by the way, has been accused of being superspreaders of mistruths:
- “The trials were designed specifically to succeed. www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/09/23/covid-19-vaccine-protocols-reveal-that-trials-are-designed-to-succeed/?sh=21270ac65247
- Removing the placebo groups from vaccine trials will prevent accurate data from long term studies from being known. www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/02/19/969143015/long-term-studies-of-covid-19-vaccines-hurt-by-placebo-recipients-getting-immuni
- The experiments are continuing through 2027 as the FDA APPROVAL requires Pfizer to submit study results analyzing risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, and risk to long-term infant development in pregnant women. Study results reports will be submitted to the FDA for review on Oct 31, 2025 and May 31, 2027 respectively.
- Nearly 60% of gravely ill patients are fully vaccinated, while stating the Pfizer vaccine is just 39% effective. www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta and www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/delta-variant-pfizer-covid-vaccine-39percent-effective-in-israel-prevents-severe-illness.html.”
*** end quote ***
Once again we see the “politicization” of this scamdemic.
Remember that Covid “vaccines” are NOT “vaccines”, unless the word takes on a new meaning.
That’s the Gooferment’s “process” was short circuited for the benefit of Big Pharma.
“Free” “vaccines” filled the Big Pharma coffers and, of course, it flows down to their political contributions.
Argh!

A filmmaker wants to excavate the site of Lawrence of Arabia’s fatal motorcycle crash in the hope of finding evidence that might prove he was murdered.
The First World War hero was riding his beloved Brough Superior bike near his home in Dorset in 1935 when he is said to have swerved to avoid two schoolboys on their bikes.
Lawrence, whose full name was Thomas Edward Lawrence, was thrown off the machine and died from head injuries six days later.
*** and ***
Mr Griffin believes that the hero of the Arab Revolt in 1917 may have been killed on the orders of the British intelligence community after powerful figures opposed Sir Winton Churchill’s alleged desire to appoint him to head up the domestic intelligence service.
*** end quote ***
Wow, there was a “deep state” in England even at that time. It is well-known that Lawrence was not a “member of the club”.
Wonder if they can find anything of probative value.
Interesting that the accident scene hasn’t been paved over. Very sloppy of the conspirators not to run a super highway over it.
I’d have to label this particular Conspiracy Theory as “possible, but speculative”.

PIERS MORGAN: All hail Emperor Newsom, the woke dictator fiddling with one pointless PC policy at a time while crime-ravaged California burns
By PIERS MORGAN FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 10:32 EDT, 11 October 2021 | UPDATED: 10:44 EDT, 11 October 2021
*** begin quote ***
Empowered by his recent recall election win, Newsom fired off a raft of laws that included making it illegal to use gas-powered ‘off-road engine engines’ including leaf-blowers, lawn mowers and golf carts, ordered schools to teach all students ‘ethnic studies’, and large toy stores to have gender-neutral sections.
The first will cause huge financial pain to millions of Californians, especially to the 50,000 small businesses it directly effects, for minimal benefit to the environment.
The second has sparked fears of critical race theory now becoming a mandated subject in schools, something that many think will increase racial tension and division rather than heal it.
*** end quote ***
Once again, I am forced to agree with Pier Morgan again about Emperor Newsom.
California should be allowed to go its own way and not drag the rest of us along by Pelosi, Boxer, et al.
Much better for all involved.

UN endorses world’s 1st malaria vaccine as ‘historic moment’
By MARIA CHENG yesterday
*** begin quote ***
Malaria Vaccine Endorsed
The World Health Organization announced yesterday it is recommending widespread use of the first proven malaria vaccine for children in sub-Saharan Africa and other at-risk regions. Hailed as a “historic moment,” the vaccine is the first to be developed for any parasitic disease in humans.
The drug does not provide perfect protection; a pilot program involving 800,000 children from Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi since 2019 found it reduced severe cases by 30%. It also requires a four-dose regimen, a challenge in countries with fragile medical infrastructure. A follow-up modified version of the drug, still in clinical trials, has shown efficacy above 75% in the first year after treatment.
Malaria kills more than 400,000 people each year, with more than half being African children under five. The mosquito-borne disease affects about 2,000 people in the US annually, but results in only a handful of deaths in the country. Experts predict the new vaccine could save tens of thousands of lives each year when combined with other interventions.
*** end quote ***
Here’s a “traditional” vaccine.
It’s not perfect. But, the cost of not having it is huge.
Unlike the Covid-19 RNA “vaccine”, it solves REAL problems with REAL percentages.
While it probably won’t be a mandatory profit make for Big Pharma, unlike the Covid-19 jab and rehabs, I see this akin to the polio vaccine where Moms will be running to get it for their children.
Maybe next year, I won’t have to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation and then I can pick another charity hoping they will accomplish their mission. For those who want to donate, the information is below.

Given the catastrophic effect of Alzheimer’s on any individual and the low cost in terms of money and effort to take a supplement, it seems like an easy decision.
“Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin … …” — NIH
It’s one of those things the body can easily discard when you’ve had enough.
Seems like a cheap and easy way to possible avoid a disastrous disease while the experts are figuring out why it works in worms.

People Injured by Covid-19 Jab Share Their Horror Stories

— via my feedly newsfeed
*** begin quote ***
These responses are what you would call a major CLUE. As noted by one commenter, “Doesn’t sound like you’re getting the story you need judging by the vast majority of these comments about vaccine losses and side effects. Since there is such an overwhelming outpouring of vaccine reactions maybe do a story on that? There’s lots of people here to pool from it seems.”
We now also have medical insiders blowing the whistle, confirming COVID jab injuries are incredibly commonplace, and most are never reported. In an upcoming article, I will share businessman Steve Kirsch’s analysis that strongly suggests the reports in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) is underreported by a factor of 41. This means there may actually be more than 200,000 deaths and up to 5 million COVID jab injuries.
*** end quote ***
“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.”
I’m not an “anti-vaxer”, but the Covid jab is not a “vaccine” as we know it. For whatever reason, (i’d guess money), the Gooferment bureaucrats have redefined the word to allow the Covid jab to be considered a “vaccine”.
When I read stories like this that assert the wholesale unreliability of an Covid “stats”. I have no idea what the right stats are, what the right “treatment” is, or who to believe.
Thus, I’ve opted to “wait and see”. Add in some zinc, vitamins c & d, and get good sleep.

New Cato/YouGov Survey on Health Savings Accounts
By Michael F. Cannon
*** begin quote ***
Many call the “tax exclusion” for employer‐paid health insurance premiums a tax “break.” In fact, it denies workers control over an enormous share of their earnings. It coerces workers into letting employers control roughly $1 trillion of their earnings each year as well as their health insurance. Along the way, it leaves workers vulnerable to losing coverage when they change jobs, divorce, or retire.
*** end quote ***
Thanks to the market distortion introduced by FDR’s WW2 wage and price controls, “benefits” for employees were a way that employers could “pay” employees more without running afoul of the “law”.
Back in the Seventies, leave at night in an AT&T datacenter watching accounting programs run, a wise old AT&T Treasury executive opened my eyes to how unfair that “benefits” were to me. I didn’t realize that the “benefits” were more valuable to AT&T than to me. Every benefits “expense” was a tax deduction to AT&T. As well, all those “expenses” were added into the “rate base” used in front of the FCC and various PUCs to justify higher regulated rates. The old exec pointed out that I was “paying” for the benefits in salary reductions. And, the wicked kicker was that if I left my “servitude” I’d lose most and in some cases all of those “benefits”. Argh!
Now decades later, the USA has evolved to realize that while you don’t lose your car insurance if you change jobs, you do lose your “health insurance”. (Don’t make me laugh about COBRA; who can afford those rates?)
OK, so you decide to get your own “health insurance”, and you find that expense is not tax deductible to you as an employee that has “benefits” with your master. I meant employer.
If you have a niche that permits you, then you can become a “corporation” and the premiums for all your employees is deductible. Just don’t have any other “employees” and you have found a loophole. Of course, there are setup and ongoing expense to “being a corporation” but it’s no where near as much as you think.
Bottom line: The tax code needs to change to allow you to deduct your private health care insurance. What’s good for the employer should be good for the worker!

PIERS MORGAN: President Biden’s attempt to criminalize complaining parents is a shameful attempt to silence dissent that’s more worthy of North Korea than the supposed land of the free

Above all, I will defend to the last drop of my blood the right of any parent to want to protect their child.
In the end, isn’t that the overriding job of a parent – to keep their children from harm’s way until they’d old enough to look after themselves?
That doesn’t mean I will always agree with what a parent wants for their child.
In fact, many times I may vehemently disagree.
But I will always support their right to have an opinion on what is best for their child because nobody knows their own child better than a caring parent.
And the First Amendment of the US Constitution permits parents to express those opinions as vigorously as they want.
Yet in a stunning, and very sinister move, President Biden has apparently decided that they don’t.
*** and ***
If parents are no longer allowed a say in how their children are educated, and indeed are to be categorised as domestic terrorists for doing so, then why should they continue paying taxes to pay for that education?
President Biden has declared war on America’s parents and their right to free speech, and it’s a shameful abuse of his power.

BREAKING: AI-powered DoD Data Analysis Program Named “Project Salus” SHATTERS Official Vaccine Narrative, Shows A.D.E. Accelerating in the Fully Vaccinated with Each Passing Week!
by Mike Adams
NaturalNews.com
*** begin quote ***
An AI-powered Dept. of Defense program named “Project Salus,” run in cooperation with the JAIC (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center), has analyzed data on 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or older. Data were aggregated from Humetrix, a real-time data and analytics platform that tracks health care outcomes. Legal analysis from Thomas Renz of Renz-Law.com is included in a breaking video interview, below.
The alarming findings show that the vast majority of covid hospitalizations are occurring among fully-vaccinated individuals and that outcomes among the fully vaccinated are growing worse with each passing week. This appears to fit the pattern of so-called Antibody Dependent Enhancement, where the treatment intervention (mRNA vaccines) is worsening health outcomes and leading to excess hospitalizations and deaths.
These data, presented here, shatter the official Biden / Fauci narrative that falsely claims America is experiencing, “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The data show that the pandemic actually appears to be accelerated by covid-19 vaccines, while unvaccinated individuals are having far better outcomes than the vaccinated.
Furthermore, according to these data (shown below), the single best strategy for avoid post-vaccine infections and hospitalizations is natural immunity derived from a previous covid infection.

Biden’s Vaccination Mandate: Where Are the Regulations?
BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER OCTOBER 6, 2021
*** begin quote ***
Writer Alex Berenson has taken notice of this too and did some quick research. He found a blog that says there is no order, confirming exactly what the congressman told me.
If there is no [private sector] mandate yet, then obviously, none of the companies are under any obligation to enforce it.
OSHA is apparently the federal agency responsible for framing a set of regulations for the mandate, including fines. But federal agencies only construct regulations after a law has been passed or an EO is issued.
If I’m correct, and no EO has been published, we have an odd situation, to say the least.
Governors and lawyers have been threatening to sue, because the EO is unconstitutional and overrides state powers. But if there is no Presidential EO, then all these legal cases would be meaningless, because, again, there is no official mandate.
Is the White House stalling? Do they realize the EO and the mandate will be overturned in court? Are they hoping to achieve corporate compliance without an official mandate?
I’ve queried several lawyers. One suggested that so far, in this situation, the feds are mandating by bluffing.

Tired: Ivermectin. Wired: Pfizermectin.
A good chunk of the hostility I’ve received over writing AxisOfEasy (so much that I’ve decided to hand it off to somebody less polarizing) is driven by the coverage of Ivermectin.
It was curious how a few weeks ago the “horse drug” narrative around Ivermectin was suddenly being amplified by the mainstream outlets, despite the fact that it’s an FDA approved drug that’s been used as an anti-parasitic for decades, and the fact that it was being used in India to combat an explosion of Delta Variant.
Now we learn that Pfizer is in clinical trials with PF-07321332, a developmental drug that acts as a “protease inhibitor” against C*V1D-19 for anybody already infected.
Oddly enough that’s exactly the claim made about Ivermectin, that it is a protease inhibitor. People tracking this are euphemistically calling Pfizer’s crack at this, “Pfizermectin.”
Read: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/pfizer-launches-final-study-covid-drug-thats-suspiciously-similar-ivermectin
One wonders if the MSM and Big Tech will conduct a wide-ranging, coordinated campaign of marginalization against Pfizer should Pfizermectin be approved and be deployed.

Kodiak the Eagle Has Been Captured After Week-Long Adventure in Pittsburgh
Preliminary veterinary tests suggest the bird is healthy and uninjured.

On Sunday, October 3, a National Aviary team spotted Kody at a residence in Pine Township following reports of the bird loitering nearby. Using “professional falconry techniques and equipment,” the team was “able to safely retrieve Kody and bring him back home,” according to a National Aviary tweet. Apparently this entails a large net and running towards the eagle as quickly as possible.

Pretty funny to watch the guy chasing the bird. Good think the bird wasn’t hurt or anyone else.
I’m not so sure if I would want to be that close to one big bird. Especially if it was mad!

Picking up a second language can lead to a salary increase of around 2%. It also opens up a range of new careers and could easily make a difference in a job interview. Apps like Duolingo and Memrise are free, fun, and provide a solid base for picking up an additional language. Admittedly, they can only take you so far. But it is still totally possible to achieve fluency for free if you hop on to something like Reddit’s Language Exchange and find a native speaker to help practice your skills.

When I think of all the time in my life I wasted do Quadrant 4 activities (i.e., not important and not urgent), I have an eternal regret.
If I had learned Chinese or Japanese, then how much easier would it have been to get ANOTHER job on Wall Street?
Don’t waste your time like I did. You only have so much!

“A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.” — Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois (Ret.) and student, p. 26 Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein
This resonated with me. As a VietNam era vet, I realized that only vets should vote. I lost friends in the Republic of, had friends and relatives come back “different”, and even lost my best friend who went underground to avoid the draft.
Only vets should vote, because they UNDERSTAND (I’d use the Heinlein word ‘grok’) what it means to send young women and men in “harm’s way”. When politicians and bureaucrats vote for war, I’d hand them a rifle and say “OK, Pops, you go first!”

Ivermectin, meanwhile, which has virtually no side effects and has been shown to effectively treat COVID-19, is prohibited within the DHHS. When O’Malley asks Gayle Lundberg, a DHHS pharmacist, if ivermectin can be given to a patient if the doctor is willing to prescribe it, Lundberg responds:
“I am stuck. I am told you are absolutely not to use [ivermectin] under any circumstances whatsoever for somebody with COVID, unless you don’t want to have a job. I’m not going to lose my job over this.”
“This is evil at the highest level,” O’Malley says. “You have the FDA, the CDC, that are both supposed to be protecting us, but they are under the government, and everything we’ve done so far is unscientific.”

Sorry but the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
This could have all been over once India demonstrated how a poor country cures the “scamdemic”.
I hope there’s a special place in Hell for these people.

Jim Bovard: He Thought I Was An Undercover Fed
BY TYLER DURDEN

Authored by Jim Bovard via The Libertarian Institute,

From the early 1990s onward, I was exposing FBI crimes, lies, and cover-ups. FBI director Louis Freeh publicly denounced me after I wrote a Wall Street Journal piece on the FBI’s killing of an innocent mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. I continued hammering FBI abuses in the Journal, Playboy, American Spectator, and other publications.
One of the FBI’s biggest blunders occurred when it falsely accused a hapless security guard of masterminding an explosion at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Richard Jewell heroically saved lives by detecting and removing a pipe bomb before it exploded. But the FBI decided that Jewell had actually planted the bomb and leaked that charge to the media, which proceeded to drag Jewell’s life through the dirt for eighty-eight days. The FBI did nothing to curb the media harassment long after it recognized Jewell was innocent. I flogged the FBI’s vilification of Jewell in my 2000 book, Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years.
*** and ***
Eric Rudolph was finally captured in 2003 by a local policeman in a small town about an hour from that hardware store. He pleaded guilty to the Atlanta bombing as well as bombings of abortion clinics and a lesbian nightclub. Shortly after Rudolph was apprehended after more than four years in the mountains, a British newspaper pointed out that the FBI’s failure to catch him illustrated “all the shortcomings of a hi-tech, militarized federal force unable to negotiate such alien, not to say hostile, territory.”
*** and ***
Beyond the nation’s big cities and the coastlines, federal authority hinges largely on the consent of local citizens. Once that consent vanishes, FBI agents are left to sit in their cars eating their lunches all by themselves.
*** end quote ***
Maybe that’s how the Federal Gooferment fails, quiet peaceful non-cooperation?
I’ve been help rain a now four year old boy; he is great example of why you can’t force a human being to do anything they really don’t want to do! You just ignore any demands made upon you and dare the “authority” to use force against you. It works fine. As long as you don’t mind a little pain along the way. Ghandi demonstrated it on a large scale in India.
“Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate.” — movie Gandhi (1983)
So just refuse to cooperate.

Influx of Haitian migrants pushing locals out of housing in Colombia beach town
10/1/2021, 9:42:21 PM · by blueplum · 4 repliesReuters via msn ^ | 01 October 2021 | Henry Esquivel
NECOCLI, Colombia (Reuters) – An influx of thousands of mostly Haitian migrants seeking transport northward toward the United States is pushing locals in the Colombian beach town of Necocli out of housing, residents said, as landlords favor migrants able to pay in dollars. The backlog of migrants waiting in the town for scarce places on boat transport toward the jungles of the Darien Gap in Panama, where smugglers guide groups northward on foot, has swelled to up to 19,000 after the lifting of COVID-19 border closures…. Even commercial properties are being re-purposed….

iFixit Calls the iPhone 13 “a New Low” for Repairability

As Right to Repair legislation garners support from both sides of the political aisle, Apple is doubling down on its anti-consumer practices. A now-complete teardown from iFixit shows that the iPhone 13 reaches “a new low” for repairability, as it’s effectively impossible to repair at home without losing key features like Face ID.

Way to lock in the consumer.
