DEMOCRATS INCITE VIOLENCE TO GET OUT BLACK VOTE BUT GET BLACK EYE

DON LEMON SPILLS BEANS: AS CNN DEMONSTRATES TO VIEWERS HOW NEWS IS EDITED INTO PROPAGANDA

Our US press today —affected as it is by Trump derangement —is as “free “ as that of the former Soviet Union or present-day Communist China.  Apple and Google know what China is like. They  can not write about  certain subjects: like Tiananmen  Square or democracy.  While here  in the USA our formerly free  media can only describe the events in Portland and Kenosha as “demonstrations “ even as violent mobs systematically crash their vehicles into store windows, then run in to loot clothes, jewelry,, furniture and TV sets while others seem  to take pleasure in simply trashing and burning.  Then they assault anyone who would attempt to stop them from their destruction, maiming and killing as they go about their violent way.  But the “free press“ prefer to ignore —these fearful and  troubling events—!  Why?

Early on Democrats encouraged and facilitated these “demonstrations”..convinced that the George Floyd tragedy would play into a winning 2020 election strategy.  Their plan focused heavily on getting out the black vote.  They are fixated on the 2008 election when Obama did it, getting something like 97% of the black vote.   But In 2016 Hillary was a loser—only polling 91% of black votes.  The difference of 6% was key to winning or losing the election—or so the Democrats assumed.  So ginning up the black vote—by encouraging and stirring up blacks to demonstrate was a strategy the Party initiated as it began the campaign for 2020. The obedient left wing media marched in step with the Democrats tailoring their stories to fit the Dems political strategy.

But after letting this destructive genie of violence and chaos out of the bottle—and blatantly encouraging black Congressmen and women and democrats of all stripes to make fiery speeches which were intended to sustain the demonstrations —but instead of a “voting stimulus” these demonstrations almost immediately  morphed into fearful terrorist acts of increasing violence, death and property destruction. .

As in all conflagrations—once started they becomes difficult or impossible to contain.  When these events  took a violent turn  elements of radial elements of the BLM movement and the Antifa terrorist groups infiltrated legitimate protests and began using social media to organize and direct these more violent riots. The Democrats, their financial supporters  and a complicit media preferred to ignore the drastic turn to violence and chaos. Democrat mayors and governors foolishly aided the violence, by instituting no cash bail, and pulled back police presence as well as abolishing use of  standard methods of crowd control. Some cities followed demands of violent thugs and voted to defund police. Their actions only encouraged and facilitated more violence.

The radical fringe elements BLM and Antifa now as leaders of mob participants Introduced ideas on how to avoid arrest, how to play the role of peaceful demonstrator while throwing bricks, gasoline bombs, and using laser lights to blind police officers.  The BLM and Antifa strategy sessions included plans for setting up targets areas for confrontation with police, planting caches of bricks, frozen water bottles and  tools to cut wire fencing and bats to beat foolish store owners who may want to defend their stores and livelihoods.

But there is always political tipping point. When the Democrats pollsters finally realized last night (Augustus 25-26) that the Portland, Chicago, Kenosha, etc etc.  riots were no longer a good way to get out the black vote but instead giving them a black eye and hurting them in the polls they changed the tune they were humming.   Intensifying violence exacerbated the negative effects on voters and as riots became more violent it was  impossible to claim that these black shirted mobs wielding bats and Molotov cocktails and threatening  police with lasers and military style weapons were simply  “peaceful demonstrators”.

DON LEMON LEADS THE WAY!

So it was Tuesday night (8-25-20) that ultra liberal, TV host Don Lemon of CNN (a TV personality with a near fatal case of  Trump derangement syndrome)-spilled the beans on the Dem strategy, when he unequivocally, clearly and concisely stated: -“the Kenosha demonstrations have to end if Biden is going to win”.

After Don Lemon underscored  the negative impact of the “violence is good black vote policy“  on prime time TV—Joe Biden Poked his head out of his cellar bunker chimed in hours later with his first comment to even recognize the existence of the months old rioting in cities. Joe’s response suggests he is alive and able to follow directives —now to change his story—from his left wing handlers   Hi  that his political re-programming into some form of political Manchuria candidate seems to be working fine.   His handlers succeed in getting  him to mouth the new policy message which he is now required to repeat: “No more violence guys”.  His distance programming by radio messages seems to be effective even  at the subterranean depths of his basement bunker.

LEMON INADVERTENTLY REVEALS HOW EASY IT IS TO ALTER A STORY

Lemon’s comment was revealing on another level too: how CNN edits news into propaganda.  The Don Lemon TV broadcast was made in conjunction with a direct feed-chiron (that rolling  banner across the bottom of the screen) coming in directly from riot torn Kenosha, Wisconsin. In big capital letters the rolling banner described the “violent protests in Kenosha”  right  below Lemon’s  image.  But almost as soon as it appeared, the the word “violent” was miraculously erased from the rolling banner leaving only unmodified“protests” .

Someone behind the scenes—the CNN program producers “—aware of CNN and Democrat propaganda protocols, immediately scrubbed out the offending word. So the National TV audience was able to clearly saw how news was “edited” at CNN from simple information from a reporter in the field  to left wing propaganda—right before their eyes!!!

    

Democrats Use Big Lie: “Institutional Racism”

Democrats Use Big Lie, Tool of Authoritarian Regimes: Communits and Facists 

 Xavier  Marquez, a political scientist of New Zealand wrote a great  piece on authoritarian regimes and their use of the “Big Lie” entitled:  “This is why authoritarian leaders use the Big Lie”, Washington Post, January 26, 2017.  (Downloaded 8-22-2020)  

Marquez claims that there are three reasons why “authoritarian leaders” and regimes use lies.  The first is to cement shared values and unity and hold together their sometimes weak political coalition.  The second is for supporting a “strategy value” such as that stated by  Nicollo Machiavelli in his “The Prince” (1513) who wrote that “a prince” was justified in using lies “when necessary” to achieve their political or strategic goals.  And third, lies can cement the “loyalty” of subordinates and embarrass others who do not agree but who are shamed into silent acquiescence. 

One need not delve too deeply in Democrat propaganda of recent months to see how avidly they have taken to the Big Lie—apparently seeing  themselves as political “princes” who have the “right and duty” to lie to the pubic to win they are seeking arrival for office.  The idea of living to the others is a time honored practice—but this is over the top. This s a form of political terrorism.   

The Big Lie the Democrats keep repeating —as if a recording—  ridiculous charge the the USA is guilty of “systemic racism”.  One need not be a “news” junkie  or a college professor of political science like. Marquez to know that racism clearly existed in this nation a hundred years ago, but our laws and nation changed radically in the 1960s.  The Voting Rights  Act , Affirmative Action, Head Start, and numerous other government initiatives all directed at a moving the nation to racial equality altered that history for ever.  

In 2008 the USA elected Barrack Obama to the presidency by an overwhelming margin. He was elected again with both the popular and E C votes in a landslide.  Fifty million white people voted for him.  He remained immensely popular through out his administration and is a popular leader today. Today our nation has black governors, mayors police chiefs, council members , many many Congress men and women,  US Senators, as well as business leaders, professionals, physicians, prominent attorneys, and so on and on. Try to match that record in any other nation inn the world!  The charge is ridiculous.  In fact it is laughable when one sees a black Senator or Congressman or Congresswoman make the charge.  That person could not have reached the pinnacle of his or her career without thousands upon thousand —and in the case of Senators millions of white people  voted for them.  These events do not happen in a nation where “institutional racism exists.  Where is the “institutional racism”. No there is none....the charge is a Big Lie! 

The Big Lie —a propaganda tool of terrorist groups and authoritarian regimes—on both sides of the political spectrum—from fascists  to Communists.  The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for sliming the nation that has given them and their constituents so much—freedom and wealth..

The base motives of the Big Lie as used by candidate Biden and VP hopeful Harris and others is a dangerous propaganda tool.   The DNC has taken up the Big Lie cudgel to unify their fractured  base, to encourage blacks to vote democrat, and to frighten and terrorize the decent white voters —who abhor racism—to support them.  The Big Lie is a tool to advance the strategy of the Democrat party and to cement to loyalty of their underlings and supporters.

The Democrats who use this phrase—institutional racism—must be queried on what do they base such a serious charge?.  They have none.  The Charge is a Big Lie a propaganda and no more.

Colin Powell—2003 Lied to the World— Endorses Joe

Colin Powell—Lied To the World About Iraq WMD—Has No Credibility

The Dems Drag Him Out To Lie Again

Any one wo is old enough to remember the Iraq War will remember it was Colin Powell’s powerful presentation to the UN that gave final impetus for the invasion.  Powell was one of the few members of the George Bush “war monger” cabinet who had any real credibility.  Powell—thought of atthat time—the “reluctance warrior” was coerced by by Bush Cheney to lie to the American people and the world regarding “evidence “ that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

On February 5, 2003 Powell delivered a powerful speech to the UN Security Council in support of the most disastrous war effort in American history.  A war that took the lives of thousands of American troops and hundreds of thousands  of innocent Iraqi citizens.  It cost untold trillions of dollars of US tax dollars, and helped to destabilize the whole Middle East.  Its  aftermaths are with to this day.

But on  that date of infamy, Powell lied to the American people and to the world when he let the Bush Cheney war mongers use his credibility as a “careful, reluctant warrior” to gain the public support for the Iraq invasion Cheney and Bush  wanted so desperately.    Powell knew the “evidence” he presented was fabricated and he was warned several times by his advisors that what he was about to do was present false information.

Powell did not have the courage to stand up to “junior Bush” and Cheney. He lied for them.  In the end his credibility and his reputation was shattered and he departed from the Bush Administration as belittled and reduced man.  Never was he to be taken seriously again.   That is until the era of that other “plague”— the Trump derangement plague—when up is down, black is white and mendicants are truth tellers.

Powell’s lies to invade Iraq cost the USA taxpayer dearly and it weakened and demoralized the American military.  It is laughable that the Democrats chose Powell in an attempt to smear  President Trump.  Have they no knowledge of history?  It was Trump who did NOT support the Iraq invasion and has over his first term consistently attempted to get our troops out of harms way—unlike Powell who did the opposite.

“COLIN POWELL DELIVERED his presentation making the case for war with Iraq at the United Nations 15 years ago, on February 5, 2003.

As much criticism as Powell received for this — he’s called it “painful” and something that will “always be a part of my record” — it hasn’t been close to what’s justified. Powell, who was secretary of state under President George W. Bush, was much more than just horribly mistaken: He fabricated “evidence” and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false.”*

•From The Intercept”.  February 5, 2018

PS.  It was troubling to learn that this critical episode in the life of Colin Powell has been expunged from the Wikipedia biography of Powell. How the media distort and corrupt our history for political purposes is very troubling. 

Fauci Romney and Fallacious Covid Comparisons

And What They Reveal About the Authors

In a “Chron” article (August 15, 2020) “No way to Spin That”....Senator Romney (R U) attacks the Trump administration on the Coronavirs death rate.. channeling Dr. Antony Fauci who made the same statement in an earlier interview elsewhere.
Romney states:
“ Short term, I think it's fair to say we really have not distinguished ourselves in a positive way by how we responded to the crisis when it was upon us," Romney said in a video interview with the Sutherland Institute. "And the proof of the pudding of that is simply that we have 5 percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's deaths due to covid-19.” 

Dr. Anthony Fauci made the same fallacious comparison or false equivalence—such arguments are very common in general parlance and  journalism and in politics. But should not appear in any scientific related discussion. Such comparisons are a form of illogical reasoning,  I wrote a blog concerning this issue (see earlier posts).  Fauci is supposed to be an eminent scientist and should know better,  but Romney is a politician simply  parroting what he thought sounded “scientific”.  But he is not sophisticated enough to know that his statement  is actually meaningless. . 

What’s wrong with the Romney/Fauci comparison? The USA does comprise about 5% of the world population but its is not valid to claim that its covid mortality rate (about 170,000) is validly relatable to the world death toll attributable to this disease  (about 770,000 individuals).  That latter number includes deaths in such diverse populations all over the world infected by the disease at a much later date, are populations so vastly different from the USA culturally, economically, genetically and politically as well as being situated in isolated geographical zones so that a comparison is not valid.  

So can we make a better more reasonable comparison.  Yes. It is possible.  For example both the European Union (about 350 million population) and the USA (about 320 million population) were affected with the Corona virus about the same time. The USA (tragically) has a death toll of about 170,000 related to Covid 19 while the EU has suffered about 200,000 deaths.   Thus the EU is also about 5% of the world population and its death rate is @ 26% of world death rate is comparable to the USA at  25%.  Both entities have similar populations and cultures, are similarly highly advanced, technologically modern, affluent political entities with comparable health care facilities and democratic governments.

Thus the implication by Romney (and Fauci) that the USA and President Trump are somehow remiss or “not distinguished in a positive way” due to the fact that our death rate comprises 25% of world deaths simply does not stand up to scrutiny when we learn that another similar population has the very same or slightly higher death rate.  We are not undistinguished. 

What does this reveal about Romney and Fauci?  

The decision to use a fallacious argument (choosing to compare apples with oranges) rather than the more valid comparison (apples with apples) reveals more about Fauci and Romney than what they actually stated.  The choice of a false argument over a valid one indicates that both these men would rather misconstrue data, misinform and attempt to mislead the reading population the citizenry and voters for venal base personal or political reasons.  Both are attempting to smear the reputation of their own nation and its leadership.  Romney is a politician who has descended to similar positions in the past...revealing a vindictive, vengeful and unpleasant nature. 

 Dr Fauci is another case altogether.

BIDEN BY THE GUY WHO KNOWS HIM BEST— OBAMA

“Never underestimate Biden’s ability to f.....up the works.“. Quote from President Obama. 

Former VP Biden has been underground so long —hiding away in his basement—he has become an enigma.  Somehow he has assumed  his “old uncle Joe” identity, the innocuous, unoffending, fuzzy presence of a man, with little to define him other than that he is NOT Donald Trump.  But the real Biden is it out there if you care to search.

The actual persona is (or was at one time—before President dementia took hold) the sniffy, touchy-feely predator/type “pol “ that maybe you (a young female assistant) should not find yourself alone with —like in a DC pedestrian tunnel.  He is the politician who bragged about taking the train to work with a bagged lunch... portraying  himself as the typical “working man”, but who never worked a day in his life  as he took the tax payer’s dime for 47 years.   He is the corrupt type pol who used  his elected  positions of power to leverage no-show high paying “consulting” positions for his sons and his brother and other family members while he played the “I’m working for the people” role. The only jobs he created were for his sons Hunter and Beau. He is the guy who is on his third attempt at the White House job—being rejected or failed twice before. That must say something about what the voters think of his prospects and abilities.  Biden’s handlers try to present him as a “moderate” but has jumped with both feet on the left-lurching mag-lev train which the socialist Dem Party is driving at high speed into political “never never land”.  These are some critical  aspects of  the real “Uncle Joe“.

But for my money, what really exposes Joe’s real persona is what former President Obama thought of Biden. Whatever one’s perception of President Obama’s polices, few dispute that he was a highly intelligent  man, and a good judge of ability.   Biden and Obama  worked closely together for eight years! You get to know a man’s real asssets and liabilities under those intense, real-life Oval Office conditions. These are the very conditions we as voters will review to formulate our decisions and under which Biden will have to operate if he were elected.  So they are most important

So it is critical to realize  that Obama did NOT consider Biden qualified for the White House.  Biden served only to humanize Obama the cold intellectual who ran the show.  Joe was his bumbling side kick— the second banana.  Obama knows his limitations.    When Obama’s second term  came to an end—it was decision  time—who was  Obama going to support to follow him?  The man he worked with as his closest aid?  NO!   Obama cut Joe off at the knees and supported Hillary Clinton whom he knew was —not “very likable” and corrupt,  but she was smart and capable.   Obama knew that Biden —even as a younger man—could not cut mustard.  He did not support Biden’s candidacy.  

During  the 2020 Democrat primaries it was clear that Biden did not have former President Obama’s support.  The former President  did not lift a finger for him even when he could have at the critical South Carolina primary—he remained  mum.  Biden won SC anyway—but Obama’s decision to withhold support, told volumes about what the man who knew Biden best really thought of him.  Obama’s actions clearly said: “he ain’t up to the job”!

One need not attempt  to delve into the inner workings of Obama’s mind about Joe, for at one point of deep frustration, he actually came out and stated what he thought.  Obama is quoted as remarking to another Democrat operative: “Never underestimate Biden’s ability to f.....up the works.”

We as voters should take very seriously what former President Obama thought of Joe.  He knew him best and he “voted” against him on several occasions.  Who are we to go against Obama’s eight year intimate knowledge of Biden’s weaknesses?

THE PUZZLING KAMALA HARRIS CHOICE

BUT REVEALING CHOICE:
1. Joe is just an empty suit.  He is being controlled by others.
2. Kamala’s only plus for Biden is that she might blunt the devastating  charge that the Dems are weak on law and order—an issue that is paramount in every voter’s mind right now in the face of the frightening violent riots and unrest in Democrat controlled cities.

The Biden campaign has made a choice for VP.  The Biden handlers chose the puzzling Ms Kamala Harris, (is it Kam-ala or Kam-A-la ?).    Kamala was  born in California, the child of immigrants from India and Jamaica, and named after a Hindu goddess.  At the age of. seven she and her family left the USA for Canada ( did they take up citizenship there?). where she was raised in relative  affluence and privilege by university professor parents  ( a cancer researcher  and economist) who sent her to an elite private high school.  Kamala  returned to the USA to enroll in Howard University in DC for her bachelor degree, then went on to Hastings Law in California for her law degree.  There she landed a low paying job as assistant prosecutor for Alameda County.

When a relationship blossomed between young prosecutor  Kamala and politically powerful  (30 years her senior) State Rep Willy Brown she hit pay dirt.  On Rep. Willy Brown’s arm at his many political parties and soirées  she was able to meet and network with the elites of California politics.. To support her financially, in a style that was more appropriate to her aspirations, her powerful man friend Rep Willy Brown appointed her to a no-show California commission for which she had little or no credentials  or preparation.  (This does remind one of Joe Biden’s son Hunter who infamously also profited in this very same way.  So Joe and Kamala do have something in common.) .  The commission. which met once a month for an hour,  paid a salary equivalent to that of a California State Senator.  After several years of high income and affluence she left that Commission.  Brown appointed her to another Commission for which she was even less prepared but which paid considerably more.  More good pay years for no work on tax payers dime.

From this position of financial stability and political connectedness she was able to run for her first elected state position.  Being a woman, and a woman of color and living in California was not a hindrance or a stumbling stumbling block for minorities as some on the left would claim...It is clear Harris made it all work for her personal benefit.

But back to Joe.  Why would Joe choose a Kamala?  I think the choice reveals two things about the Biden campaign.

One. Joe is not making any decisions.  Joe is a fragile old man, an empty suit with a long denied hunger to be President.  He gets his orders from the Dem handlers.  As long as his “handlers” promise him —if elected—that Joe will sit  behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office for a while, he will do anything they say.  A real leader—a Reagan, a Clinton, or a Trump would not want an aggressive, pushy VP upstaging him (or her) as “co-President” which is exactly what Biden’s team  are setting up for.

“Dr” Jill Biden— not affected by dementia like Joe—complained about the Harris choice, rightly so,  but she—like Joe  have no power to make decisions.

Two. The Biden camp chose Harris because they fear the backlash from the lawlessness and riots in Democrat cities.  Think of it!  Kamal brings no real advantages.  She comes from a state the Dems will win easily.  She  is not popular with the left progressive wing.  She is not personable or charming or likable   She lost miserably in the primaries. She is not African American.  That alone would weaken the draw that Biden needs in the black community to win.  And finally, she comes with a long record of positions that do not align with the progressive wing of the party and will encourage defections.

But she has been a “tough on crime” prosecutor.  So her only asset to the Biden Camp is that she can somewhat blunt the thrust of the the Trump campaign that the Democrats are weak on crime, policing, and safety.  (The widely published video report of black rioters marching through the streets of DCs toney Georgetown area in the early hours of the morning Is a most recent example.  The rioters stomped  on BLM lawn sings and blew horns and screamed slogans  to awaken residents so as to register their complaints .  This image went viral and frightened a large segment of the voting community even outside of DC.  What can these residents think?  We are not safe—even in Georgetown, and even with a BLM sign on our lawn.) 

Will the Kamala choice work?  I think not. The Democrats started these riots and nudged them along assuming  that the Black Lives Matter Issue would motivate the black vote and push them across the finish line as winners . But the riots have now become a frightful, repugnant deficit—they can not control.   The violence has registered  in the minds of many independents and democrat-fence sitters (and even the black community).  The Democrats appear to those outside of the DC  bubble. as the party of  chaos.  They are Now identified as the  party that favors defunding a strong police force, the party that encourages violence, a party working against law and order and peaceful streets and cities where citizens can conduct business and live safely.   Who in this nation favors those issues?

The Dems  blew it.  The awful riots will take them down.  Their hope that a Kamala -might make them look more “moderate“ on the law and order issue Is a long shot. .

CHINA IS REAL THREAT: GREED OF USA CEO’S SOURCE

FORGET RUSSIA HOAX-CHINA IS REAL THREAT

According to an  address reported by the UPS (8-7-20). US Attorney General Barr spoke of  our evolving legal and foreign policies regarding China.   Barr stated that American companies should realize how they’ve gotten to be where they are. They are the world’s most advanced and profitable because their development was based on American economic policies which encourage entrepreneurial spirit, because of American military protection of our takers and because ofAmerican affluence and American cultural  principles and constitutional rights.

He could not be more correct. Unfortunately, American companies have little use for history or for historic indebtedness. They deal only in edit and bottom line. Their involvement  in China has cost us dearly in jobs, wealth and in health.  Our policies toward China,a nation which has emerged as one of our most pressing economic and military threats needs drastic reevaluation and have been under President Trump 

But in regard to China the USA created the problem we face.    Other than the development of the gunpowder for use in fire cracker displays in ancient times (and some claim- with little evidence—  the creation  of pasta, the  Chinese have invented nothing. 

Every modern technology China possesses—even their communist Marxist Leninist philosophy  has been co-opted or stolen from the west.  So there’s no “Chinese technology “   China is a construction of the west. It is a monster created by western greed and stupidity.  Everything that they have is or once was ours. 

These acquisitions were acquired either by outright stealing or by  leveraging access to their massive markets (of 1.4 billion consumers)  against the greed of American company owners looking to expand their markets and make a short term “killing”.   

CEOs of elite US companies gladly handed over trade secrets,  proprietary materials and even dismantled whole processing and manufacturing plants and transferred them to China for that access.  In the process these CEOs made themselves rich as Croesus, as they dismantled and destroyed the economies (and communities) over vast swaths of our nation by transferring well paying jobs from the  USA  to China in the most massive transfer of wealth and technology in history.   

Greed in the US business community and indifference and complicity in DC is the source of the problem we face with modern China. Other than the blatant greed of US businesses it was our political leaders of both parties took lobby money from these same companies to support the robbery of the American  nation.  

Joe Biden, President  Obama, the Clintons and others were all in on these hugely profitable “deals making China our “trade partner” and giving them favored status.  As US workers faced unemployment, despair and opioid addiction  these Democrat “traitors to the American worker” made billions and millions lining their own pockets.  as they colluded with China.  To protect their profitable “China connection  scheme” they advanced the fantasy that it was “Russia which was our mortal enemy”.  

To our Democrat leaders in DC China was innocent of evil intent. It was simply a benign competitor.  Remember all of these elite DC folks had economic ties to China —but Russia (no money to be made there!) was the “real” threat to us.  

When in 2015 a GOP candidate came along pointing out the truth of China’s duplicity and the existential danger of the US policy of “Chinafication” they ruthlessly attacked this candidate as a “tool” of Russia and advanced the fabrication (supported  and paid for by the Cintons) that this GOP candidate was under  the control of Mr Putin.  While,  ironically, they were the Chinese culprits controlled by greed and Chineses demands. 

It was the Coronavirus 19 which finally exposed the Chinese communist leadership for what they are.   Mortal enemies attempting to brig down the USA as they strive for economic and military world hegemony. 

When the Covid19 outbreak occurred in Wuhan Province China the Chinese government immediately hid the discovery that the former bat virus had developed the ability to infect humans and then transfer from one human to another. Chinese scientists who attempted to reveal this were arrested and silenced.  At this time the government began secret attempts at corralling up world stocks of n95masks, gowns, ventilators and other equipment they knew would become needed and valuable.  

They immediately tightly closed down infected Wuhan province. No one was allowed in and no one out to other Chinese cities.   No planes left Wuhan for Beijing.  But they did not restrict international flights in and out of Wuhan    On those critical days infected Chinese travelled in the thousands to the USA and Europe!   

The  pandemic deaths the economic impact on he world is incalculable  and right up there with World war.  

Can we ever forget?  

PUTIN’S “SPUTNIK 5“ COVID 19 VACCINE - TWO BILLION DOSES READY!

PUTIN’S “SPUTNIK 5“ COVID 19 VACCINE - TWO BILLION DOSES READY!

From Le figaro.fr. (“Putin claims an effective vaccine in advance of the phase 3 tests” 

Vladimir Putin has claimed (August 10 2020 ) that Russia has successfully developed a vaccine for Coronavirus 19. Putin revealed that his two daughters have been vaccinated and that mass production will begin very soon.  According to Le figaro.fr. Putin  claimed that the vaccine was effective and that it provided “durable” immunity.  The article states  that phase three tests involving thousands of subjects have not ended,  but will commence this coming Wednesday. 

The vaccine has been termed “Sputnik V” in honor of Russia’s  first manned flight into earth orbit. Putin has added that more than a billion doses have been prepared for twenty foreign countries  and that industrial production will commence in September.  Developed by the Ministry of  Defense in cooperation with the  Russian firm “ Binnopharm”, the vaccine is planned to be in wide circulation by January 1, 2021. 

The idea —of an early vaccine—when suggested by President Trump, was widely panned by our politicized  media—but much as President Trump predicted—The Russians proved it is possible.   Perhaps this will stimulate our American counterparts and we will also see wide production here byJanuary 2021! 

BIDEN THUMBS NOSE AT CATHOLIC VOTE

This says it all:   Joe Biden —has gone to his knees for the new left Dems when he abandoned his support for the Hyde Amendment (forcing Catholics and others of faith to go against their conscience when their tax dollars are used to pay for abortions which they oppose). 

Catholics were once a solid voter block  for the Democrats.  But that was in the 1960s   Today’s practicing  Catholics are excluded from the New Left Democrat Party. For good reason. The modern Democrats have moved so far left they have left 40 to 50 million Catholic voters on a dusty roadside-as their shiny NewLeft Dem (with yellow lettering “Black Lives Matter” ) bus roars off down the road into the eastern socialist sunset.

Catholics today face the reality of the Far Left New Dems who have torn up  the Hyde Amendment (terming it quaint and outmoded). While  they avidly support abortion on demand, taking innocent life  in the last trimester of pregnancy, birthing a vital infant only to set the infant aside —to die “comfortably”.

Today’s Catholics find the Dem leadership (Biden, Pelosi, Cuomo. etc etc) all “Catholics” in name only—who seem to have formulated their own “religion” of the left.  These hypocrites  openly cater to  anti religious zealots,  express disdain for conservative sexual values, support rampant promiscuity.   They oppose judgeship candidates who have ties To religious organizations such as the Knights of Columbus, as they  give  open support to violent mobs who deface churches, throw paint on religious statues, burn churches, attack the clergy, and defame the Church.

These “catholics” abandoned the precepts of their faith long ago for political expediency and vote harvesting—a existential necessity in a party which  looks askance at religiosity.of any stripe. But they continue to Claim identity as “Catholic” even as they undermine the values, life-ways and federal laws which protect the adherents of that faith.

When not facing voters at a ballot box these apostates undermine and attack the the very values of the faith they have for all practical purposes they abandoned .  They attack  the Hyde Amendment, ignore  family values of home, hearth, child raising,  religious education,  opposition to rampant promiscuous sexual  behaviors and show disdain for the religious fervor of the the faithful. Treating these faithful as somehow less deserving of political support or as “irredeemables”

A real practicing Catholic has no place in the tiny tent the modern Democrats  have erected around their minority demographic—anti God, anti Bible, pro-abortionists, pro LBGTQ+ community, pro sexual predators, religious iconoclasts , “antifa“ -supporting mobs, and church and priest haters.

Biden —who has dropped to his knees to the powers of the new left —supporting  every far left, anti Catholic  nail and plank in the New Democrat Far left  platform.  Yet when called out on his abandonment of religious principles by the President,  he has squealed like a stuck pig.

Biden has long ago made the hypocrites’ choice of hanging on to “I’m a Catholic” for votes only.  Don’t fall for his hypocrisy .

FAUCI and TRUMP

DrAnthony Fauci agreed with the leading question posed by CNBC interviewer Dr Sanjay Gupta.  Gupta’s query: Isit true that the USA “has the worst Covid 19 outbreak in the world?” Yes, said Fauci, “The numbers don’t lie”.

Of course we all know—Fauci included—that numbers do lie. Manipulating numerical data to make a political point  one way or another is a a lucrative cottage industry in Washington and in politics in general .and Fauci is part of that scene.  Gupta’s question being a prime exmple of that effort.  Fauci who has a long history as a presidential public health advisor going back to President Reagan, has an ego bigger than his physical stature would indicate. Perhaps those two factors are causally related and much of his verbal sparring with the President may be attributed to a bruised ego and a much more progressive political philosophy than that of the President he has promised to advise.

 Fauci who tries to present an aura of infallibility is now famous (or infamous) for a number of errors and misstatements of his own.  Early in the Covid 19 pandemic, Fauci stated that there was no need to wear masks.  His early advice: “no masks needed” was eventually altered to: “masks obligatory”.

In regard to treatment protocols, he has been  adamant in in his opposition to the use of the drug:  hydroxychloroquine.   When anecdotal evidence indicated that this long used (for 40 years) drug —widely and safely used as an immunosuppressant, anti-parasitic, and for lupus and arthritis treatment—showed promise in the early treatment of Covid19 and may have prophylactic effects, he belittled those who suggested its use   Though Fauci had no alternative evidence that “it was of no use’ he insisted that it be banned and circumscribed.   In response to his widely read statements —several poorly devised (and one actual phony study—later withdrawn from publication) attempted to “prove” just that.  But again —he was shown to be wrong —and more recently, new studies (double blind “gold standard”) studies have revealed the efficacy of the drug Especially when used to treat patients early in the infection.

And finally,  the “numbers don’t lie” statement to Sanjay Gupta during the CNBC interview are pure hyperbole—unbecoming and reeking of bias from a supposed scientist.   (Fauci states that the USA with “5% “ (sic) of the population has about 20% of Covid deaths”,using  numbers fraught with uncontrolled variables and unknowns . Total world population (@7.8 billion)includes densely populated nations with very little control in actual mortality data. (China India) as well as vast swaths of areas where people live in near isolation and to which this pandemic has not yet reached.  The comparison Fauci makes is not valid)

It seems that Fauci has a penchant for applying rigor to certain numbers —which he has some preconceived notions about (such as studies on hydroxycholoquine) while for him it’s just fine to use sloppy math, uncontrolled variables and hyperbole when describing something he favors or would like folks to believe.

So it was OK to claim that the raw mortality numbers  comparing the world’s most touristed, most affluent nation’s covid 19 infections were valid to use in comparison to other nations,  though they completely ignore population differences.

A true scientific approach in comparing national responses to the pandemic (fraught as they are with many differences in culture, genetics, obesity rates, comorbidities,  health care, etc.) is to eliminate as many variables as possible in the comparison.  The first would be controlling for population size -thus representing data as numbers per million population.   So viewing countries of vastly different population sizes and trying to claim something about how they are responding to the pandemic is meaningless —unless you are so politicized that you are simply trying to cast the US in a bad light.

Yes the USA does have the highest numbers of covid mortality—but it is a nation of 325 million.  We can not compare the raw data of the USA deaths to that of Andorra -a tiny nation (Pop 80,000) tucked away in isolation in the Pyrenees between Spain and France. In effect that is what Fauci did when he claimed: the “numbers don’t lie”.

On most reasonable characterizations of covid 19 mortality rates the USA is about 8th on the list of most impacted world nations in regard to Covid cases and mortality rates.

Fauci apparently has the habit of viewing  the “glass as half empty” rather than “half full”.  In this crisis we are faced with negativism all around us.  Our leadership should be presenting data in an unbiased format.  In this stage of our tribulations we do not need supposed specialist running around hanging black crepes of mourning like morticians in the nation’s public media.

Unlike Fauci’s ‘‘this is not going away” versus the Presidnt’s view —that “this will pass” (ridiculed by the media) the President is right.  Covid 19 will pass the same way other pandemics did —small pox, measles, polio, and other former diseases.  Real scientists know that these populations all reach  a peak  and then drop off precipitously.  So will Covid 19.   It too will pass on.

USA COVID WORST CASE? NOT USA ! SEE RECENT DATA

The USA has a fraction of the rate of covid 19 infections per million inhabitants and one of the lowest rates of mortality relative to confirmed cases than other similar nations.  

The USA is not the worst case of Covid 19 mismanagement and unpreparedness that the politicized US main stream media would like to portray.  In fact —unbiased data—shows that its response is better than average when compared to similar nations.  The US media outlets are so infected with another pandemic—Trump manic hatred—that they can not even present scientific data in an unbiased manner.  The data below is from Le Monde—the French  daily paper of record.

“Coronavirus: la crise sanitare  aura des effets pendant des “decennies” salon L’OMS”  Le Monde August 1, 2020  Data from AFP

From the LeMonde data we can see that the USA ( 8th down the list) when compared to other highly populated affluent and advanced states is Well down the list—and appears to be dealing with the corona virus pandemic as well as can be expected—and certainly not worse than other similar advanced states. These data are of course fraught with difficulties when attempting a comparison—One must recon with population size, citiizen regimentation or lack of it, level of personal freedom in a nation, genetic homogeneity, cultural practices, existing morbidity factors, rates of obesity and heavy smoking, etc.,etc.,  etc.,  all can have an effect on infection and death rates. 

According  to Le Monde data there  were @700,000 confirmed deaths world wide out of total of  @18 million confirmed cases. Thus the world mortality rate for covid 19 is  @ 4%. If that is accurate then covid is 40 times more deadly than the common flu with a rate of only 0.1%  It’s noteworthy that the USA is slightly below the world average (at @ 3% mortality) and well below the other top ranked sates with regard to this disease, suggesting that our hospital care and medical response is better than average. 

It’s quite apparent to all of us now (See; Washington Post “Mapping World Wide Spread of Corona Virus “ August 1, 2020) that  the Washington Post, the NYT and other similar main stream media outlets are in the business of making the USA look bad—in every way they can—so as to deflate the political future of President Trump in the coming elections.  But it is unconscionable that a newspaper of record such as the Post will go to such lengths in a purely informative piece of journalism —to manipulate nformation which may be critical in the national response to the pandemic.  Such behavior is irresponsible—yellow— journalism .  

But what the actual unbiased data shows —see tabulation above—is that the USA is responding well and responsibly to the threats of the virus.  The actual data gives NO ONE  license to claim that the President or administration has been remiss in its handling of the pandemic. Though some media source go to great lengths even to manipulating pandemic data to make that seem so.  It is the Trump manic derangement syndrome in action.  Sadly in attempting to unseat, delegitimize and politically damage President Trump they hurt us all and embarrass themselves. 

WaPost Scrubs Data on Covid 19 to SmearUSA: Embarrass Themselves

The Washington Post prepared a “summary” of the Coronavirus pandemic data.  “Mapping worldwide spread of the coronavirus.  August 1, 2020. It’s an insult to any intelligent reader.  I recall that Sir Francis Bacon once wrote that “reading maketh a full man, conference maketh  a ready man  and writing maketh an  exact man”  Apparently the writers for the Post have simply not been writing enough to become exact men and women.  

In a review of the covid 19 data they seem to start with an idea of what the results should look like and then proceed to manipulate the information to get to that point.  Sir Francis Bacon would call that circular reasoning. In effect turning logic and science on its head. If you would like to be fooled and mentally manipulated read: Washington Post “Mapping worldwide spread of the coronavirus.  August 1, 2020.  See how they try to compare apples and oranges and give a totally misrepresentative picture of the pandemic.   

Below I report on a similar piece published in  Le Monde the French daily. The French are not so badly infected with Trump manic derangement syndrome.  Furthermore they do not have an election at hand so they are less likely to politicize all manner of reporting —as in the Post case even simple analysis of existing mathematical data. 

The report I recommend appeared in LeMonde (July 31, 2020): “The Current Corona Virus Crisis Will Affect Us for Decades.   According to a graph published and included in  the Le Monde piece concerns the  world covid 19 pandemic.  It reveals that the disease peaked around the beginning of April with about 10,000 deaths reported worldwide and and then slowly declined to about 4000 or 5000 deaths by June.  Subsequently, the world rate  has begun to rise again in a second wave.   At the date of this publication it was almost 6000 deaths worldwide. The last data points have shown a turn downward so it seems as though perhaps the second wave is now declining but slowly. 

The LeMonde editors were apparently aware that you simply can not compare  confirmed cases and death rates in nations around the world attempting to compare nations with hugely different population sizes.  Results from such an exercise are meaningless.  How can one compare the total deaths to covid 19 in Greece (pop 10 million) with the USA (320 million).  The population size variable must be eliminated for a valid comparison.   

Thus logically— like the French— they published a list of the ten front line nations and included  data based  on confirmed cases and deaths —per million population.  The numbers of cases is of course controlled by just how many tests a nation has completed.  However mortality —related to the disease—per million population I can be a better measure  of just how the disease is progressing in each of the nations.  According to a list compiled by the French newspaper the numbers of deaths per million list follows.

But what we know now does not give anyone license to say that the President or administration has been remiss in its handling of the pandemic. Though some go to great lengths even to manipulating pandemic data to make that seem so.  It is the Trump manic derangement syndrome—in attempting to hurt Trump they hurt us all and embarrass themselves.
