Jupiter’s Magnetosphere and the Great Red Spot
Written by Robert A. Beatty BE (Minerals) FAusIMM
Herein is a discussion report from Robert Beatty proposing the broad internal details for the planet Jupiter, as might currently exist. [1]
1) INTRODUCTION This study developed following a comment discussion attached to PSI paper “Black Hole Radiation: New paper for Open Review”.[2] The discussion revolved around the possibility that Jupiter has a rocky surface.
The rocky surface proposition agrees with my published book, Planets Satellites and Landforms, which includes the generic equatorial section of a protoplanet formation,
Figure 1, showing how a protoplanet might start forming, immediately after its satellites have launched from the planet surface.[3]
It was agreed to investigate the situation further which has resulted in this composition.
2) BACKGROUND:
Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system and as such, continues to radiate significant primordial heat evident in the famous red spot, or eye as shown in this Hubble Image, Figure 2. The planet is described as a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, but may have a rocky core.[4]
The Great Red Spot rotates at a different pace to the magnetic field recorded at Jupiter, and it is generally concluded the GRS is the result of a persistent storm cloud and not directly associated with surface activity on the planet.
3) PLANET JUPITER FACTS.
Several empirical facts are known about Jupiter as shown at the NASA site.[5] These are included in Table 1, together with other quantities estimated to produce the known planet mass of 1.90E+27 kg.
The volume estimates are used to construct a vertical wire frame section of planet Jupiter as shown in Figure 3.
Jupiter appears to have a solid core surrounded by a spherical shaped mobile Magnetic Chamber. Here magma circulates rapidly in the chamber with a rotation period of 9.9 hours, and powers the magnetosphere which surrounds Jupiter.
Another spheroid shaped Magma Chamber exists outside the Magnetic Chamber. Magma circulating in this chamber moves more slowly, with the Chamber rotation period of 144 hours.
Magma moves past the outer surface of the Magnetic Chamber, towards the base of the Heat Exit Chimney. Here the magma cools, with the heat convecting up to the surface and terminating at the GWS.
The magma returns from the base of the Chimney, within the Magma Chamber towards the Proto Continent location. Lighter components from the magma deposit at the edge of the Proto Continent. The incoming magma squeezes the deposit together from all sides, forming a compact floating Proto Continent. The Proto Continent has a high central core, and deep roots penetrating into the Magma Chamber.
4) JUPITER UPPER LAYERS.
Beyond the Proto Continent, two realms of liquid hydrogen and helium exists with the inner region having an average density of 672 kg/m3 and the upper layers averaging 192 kg/m3.
The visible clouds on Jupiter are a mix of dust coming from lower levels. A density of 192 is estimated for the highest and least dense layer, but which includes a high entrained dust portion. The dust material has been swept off the surface of the Proto Continent surface. Numerous Jovian satellites, currently assessed at 79 moons, continuously stir up the atmosphere causing dense dust clouds to form. The most prominent are the four Galilean satellites shown in Figure 4,[6] are expected to be the most influential in impacting upper Jovian atmospheric condition.
The GRS appears in the Upper Atmosphere layers above the Heat Exit Chimney, and rotates in synchronisation with the Spheroid Magma Chamber, rotating at 144 hours per cycle, or 6 Earth days.
GRS changed in size since first observed in the 1800s:[7]
The Great Red Spot is large enough to accommodate Earth within its boundaries. Mathematical models suggest that the storm is stable and may be a permanent feature of the planet. However, it has significantly decreased in size since its discovery. Initial observations in the late 1800s showed it to be approximately 41,000 km (25,500 mi) across. By the time of the Voyager flybys in 1979, the storm had a length of 23,300 km (14,500 mi) and a width of approximately 13,000 km (8,000 mi). Hubble observations in 1995 showed it had decreased in size again to 20,950 km (13,020 mi), and observations in 2009 showed the size to be 17,910 km (11,130 mi). As of 2015, the storm was measured at approximately 16,500 by 10,940 km (10,250 by 6,800 mi), and is decreasing in length by about 930 km (580 mi) per year.
As the heat expires from Jupiter, the Heat Exit Chimney is expected to reduce in size and have a more erratic location. This could include a number of pipe branches forming in the upper chimney which appear on the surface as multiple eye spots.

principiascientificinternational--2020-08-27--The NIH COVID Scandal: Time to Investigate Dr Fauci’s Boss!

Here is a crucial new question in need of an answer : Why was the British Templeton Prize of $ 1.3 million awarded to Dr. Fauci ’ s Boss on May 20 , 2020 ?
This exposé from stateofthenation.co about the National Institutes of Health needs to be disseminated far and wide and as quickly as possible .
It concerns a complex psychological operation being conducted by none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci ’ s boss—NIH Director Francis Collins ( see photo above ) .
The Christian churches throughout the USA must become aware of this ongoing COVID-19 psyop stealthily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before it ’ s too late .
NIH Director Francis Collins , M.D.
, PhD is also the founder of The BioLogos Foundation , a Christian advocacy group that is pushing vaccines , mandatory masks , social distancing all the time , and business closures via 2700+ Evangelical leaders nationwide .
This most recent piece of SOTN investigative journalism is a work-in-progress as our researchers are presently tied up with more pressing projects related to OPERATION COVID-19 .
• Dr. Francis Collins , Director of the National Institutes of Health quite suspiciously received @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.3 million on May 20 , 2020 .
• Since that day , Dr. Collins , who “ was appointed the 16th Director of the National Institutes of Health by President Barack Obama ” , has significantly intensified his highly deceptive COVID-19 outreach via The BioLogos Foundation which he founded in 2007 .
• That highly dubious BioLogos missionary work focuses on debunking all the many COVID-19 conspiracy realities that have gone viral on the Internet , especially on social media .
Collins ’ initiative specifically targets Christian communities across America and particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth-seeking and averse to toxic vaccinations .
• The primary mission of both Dr. Collins and his minions at BioLogos appears to be selling the coming COVID-19 vaccine as a safe medical preventative measure .
Their various media presentations also vigorously promote mask wearing , social distancing all the times and mom-and-pop business shut-downs .
The key organizational co-conspirators of this psyop are the NIH , NIAID , CDC , The BioLogos Foundation and the Templeton Prize .
Of course , the key Covid plotters are Francis Collins , Tony Fauci , Bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Tedros Adhanom and many other Deep State plants who have profoundly betrayed the American people .
As always , the source of this convoluted criminal conspiracy can be traced back to the British Crown and the Financial District in the City of London .
What follows is a screenshot from Francis Collins ’ Wikipedia page .
That Obama appointed an NIH Director who was well-known for his “ outspoken Christian faith ” is a HUGE red flag .
The Obama administration was notorious for being the most godless in U.S. history .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama ’ s top tier appointments were either famous atheists , marxists , communists or outright cynical about any type of religion .
Why , pray tell , did Obama appoint Dr. Collins as Director of the National Institute of Health ?
Was OPERATION COVID-19 that well planned back in 2009 ?
It certainly was !
In light of the utterly lawless and consistently corrupt Obama administration .
which manifested from day one of BHO ’ s first term , it ’ s now clear that every single major appointment was cynically made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That a staunch Christian medical doctor was installed into the extremely powerful and sensitive NIH directorship , then , speaks volumes about the intent to use Collins as a shepherd to corral the awakening Christian flock into the pen of vaccine compliance .
This covert mission appears to be the primary reason that Collins set up BioLogos in 2007 .
He needed a high and ‘ trusted ’ platform to reach out to the Christian faithful across the USA .
And so he has , especially during these days of the Plandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the primary goals of the 2020 Plandemic was to establish a mandatory vaccination program nationwide , it was imperative that Christian America was sufficiently mind controlled — prior to this engineered pandemic — to willingly receive the future COVID-19 vaccine .
In this way , vaccine mandates can be more easily rolled out each and every year as other fake pandemics are manufactured and threats issued by the likes of the NIAID , CDC , WHO , Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , etc .
Then there is the quite salient matter regarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collins received right in the middle of the unparalleled COVID-19 lockdown in May .
Obviously , anything awarded by the British financial community ALWAYS has strings attached .
And , a close look all the previous winners only confirms that fact of life .
See : https : //www.templetonprize.org/templeton-prize-winners-2/ British vaccine manufacturers and patent holders already have their fingerprints all over OPERATION COVID-19 , so it should come as no surprise that they would attempt to control the NIH from the top down and bottom up .
For example , the British-Swedish vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the COVID-19 vaccine developmental process since the beginning of the Plandemic .
Why is the U.S. avidly promoting British vaccine manufacturer AstraZeneca for COVID-19 ?
Is this really why Collins was given the curiously timed 1,300,000 million dollar Templeton Prize—to make sure the coronavirus psyop stampedes every American into accepting a Covid vaccine ?
Obviously , there is a major back story here that will emerge sooner than later given that upwards of 7.8 billion people are now watching THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC .
The Executive Summary presented above will be completed shortly ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this urgent “ CHRISTIAN ALERT ” we have posted the following articles that will permit any armchair investigator to piece together the entire criminal conspiratorial plot .
• Here ’ s Dr. Fauci ’ s Evangelical boss at NIH using his BioLogos video platform to unsuccessfully debunk the numerous Covid conspiracy truths ( Video ) • Why was this special COVID-19 discussion with the NIH Director aired the day after he won the $ 1.3 MIL Templeton Prize ?
• Look at how BioLogos , founded by NIH Director is Francis Collins , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conspiracy truth !
• Look at the NWO globalists who have judged and presented the Templeton Prize .
• Does the Templeton Prize about “ Celebrating Scientific & Spiritual Curiosity ” or Implementing the New World Order globalist agenda ?
• It ’ s about time to take a closer look at Fauci ’ s boss at NIH , yes ?
!
• How convenient that the bankster-funded Templeton Prize ( via the Templeton Growth Fund ) honors the current NIH Director with the 2020 award of 1.1 million British pounds !
• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the $ 1.3 million Templeton Prize on May 20 , 2020 ?
• Talk about the churches doing the work of the devil !
• Why are 2,700 high-profile LAODICEAN EVANGELICALS fervently advocating the COVID-19 vaccine ?
• WOW !
2700 Evangelical Leaders Sell the “ Mark of the Beast ” to Their Congregations In the meantime , remember that Dr. Collins is Dr. Fauci ’ s boss at the NIH .
Hence , there can be no doubt that these two career criminals are thicker than thieves .
After all , vaccinating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a trillion dollar enterprise in view of the annual vaccine that they falsely state will be necessary .

As always, the source of this convoluted criminal conspiracy can be traced back to the British Crown and the Financial District in the City of London.
An Obama appointee
What follows is a screenshot from Francis Collins’ Wikipedia page.
That Obama appointed an NIH Director who was well-known for his “outspoken Christian faith” is a HUGE red flag.
The Obama administration was notorious for being the most godless in U.S. history. In point of fact, most of Obama’s top tier appointments were either famous atheists, marxists, communists or outright cynical about any type of religion.
Why, pray tell, did Obama appoint Dr. Collins as Director of the National Institute of Health?
Was OPERATION COVID-19 that well planned back in 2009?
It certainly was!
In light of the utterly lawless and consistently corrupt Obama administration. which manifested from day one of BHO’s first term, it’s now clear that every single major appointment was cynically made to advance the agenda of Cultural Marxism.
That a staunch Christian medical doctor was installed into the extremely powerful and sensitive NIH directorship, then, speaks volumes about the intent to use Collins as a shepherd to corral the awakening Christian flock into the pen of vaccine compliance.
This covert mission appears to be the primary reason that Collins set up BioLogos in 2007. He needed a high and ‘trusted’ platform to reach out to the Christian faithful across the USA. And so he has, especially during these days of the Plandemic.
KEY POINT: Because one of the primary goals of the 2020 Plandemic was to establish a mandatory vaccination program nationwide, it was imperative that Christian America was sufficiently mind controlled — prior to this engineered pandemic — to willingly receive the future COVID-19 vaccine. In this way, vaccine mandates can be more easily rolled out each and every year as other fake pandemics are manufactured and threats issued by the likes of the NIAID, CDC, WHO, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, etc.
Templeton Prize
Then there is the quite salient matter regarding the $1.3 million Templeton Prize that Collins received right in the middle of the unparalleled COVID-19 lockdown in May.
Obviously, anything awarded by the British financial community ALWAYS has strings attached. And, a close look all the previous winners only confirms that fact of life. See: https://www.templetonprize.org/templeton-prize-winners-2/
British vaccine manufacturers and patent holders already have their fingerprints all over OPERATION COVID-19, so it should come as no surprise that they would attempt to control the NIH from the top down and bottom up.
For example, the British-Swedish vaccine maker AstraZeneca has been on top of the COVID-19 vaccine developmental process since the beginning of the Plandemic.
AstraZeneca PLC is a British Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company with its global headquarters in Cambridge, England.[3] Its R&D is concentrated in Cambridge, England, Mölndal in Sweden and North America (Maryland and Toronto).[4]
Is this really why Collins was given the curiously timed 1,300,000 million dollar Templeton Prize—to make sure the coronavirus psyop stampedes every American into accepting a Covid vaccine?
Obviously, there is a major back story here that will emerge sooner than later given that upwards of 7.8 billion people are now watching THE GREAT SCAMDEMIC.
The Executive Summary presented above will be completed shortly; however, in the interest of releasing this urgent “CHRISTIAN ALERT” we have posted the following articles that will permit any armchair investigator to piece together the entire criminal conspiratorial plot.
To be continued —
In the meantime, remember that Dr. Collins is Dr. Fauci’s boss at the NIH. Hence, there can be no doubt that these two career criminals are thicker than thieves. After all, vaccinating the global population may prove to be a trillion dollar enterprise in view of the annual vaccine that they falsely state will be necessary.

principiascientificinternational--2020-08-27--How Gin & Tonic may save the world from COVID 19

How Gin & Tonic may save the world from COVID 19 There is a lot of negativity around the discussion about Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin .
As a result , people are saying they wouldn ’ t take this particular drug until there are ‘ official ’ studies completed .
These could take years .
Note that there have been a number of press articles and ‘ studies ’ recently circulated that suggest Hydroxychloroquine is both deadly and does not work .
Yet it is still safe to use for Lupus , Malaria and Rheumatoid Arthritis !
Please do your research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
More and more doctors worldwide have been successfully treating patients with this drug ( as they did with previous coronavirus outbreaks ) .
However , hydroxychloroquine is the safer version of chloroquine , a synthetic version of quinine , the active ingredient in tonic water .
See : blogs.sciencemag.org Tonic Water was invented to make it easier to take quinine to protect as a prophylactic against malaria .
Its common use dates back to the 1800 ’ s .
It was first commercially produced in 1858 .
Yes , that bitter tasting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world to the point of being a legend !
The British , ( being what we are ! )
decided it needed a bit of a kick to wash it down .
And thus was born the infamous Gin and Tonic .
Douglas Noel Adams ( DNA ) , The Restaurant at the End of the Universe We might have discovered just how much importance to attach to these prophetic words written in jest .
The history of tonic water and quinine is easy to find .
It has been around almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commercial versions of tonic water contain very little quinine .
Quinine is toxic if improperly taken , ( as are many drugs ) .
Do not try and self-medicate without the advice of your doctor .
So , for Hydroxychloroquine we are now talking about an ‘ off label ’ use of a medication that has been safely used on millions , if not billions , of people since the 1800 ’ s ( or earlier in various forms ) .
You know how many other medications are commonly used ‘ off label @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the label ?
Almost all of them !
If you went to Africa ( back when travel was allowed ) , your doctor probably gave you this drug to protect you from malaria .
People take this without a thought for weeks or more .
Lupus patients take this as a matter of course , without a thought , for years .
Those with rheumatoid arthritis also take this medication with great success .
Note that long term use has some side effects .
These drugs should never be taken without the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you were given Hydroxychloroquine for COVID 19 for around 6 days , it would most likely be life saving .
It has in almost all of the thousands of people tested in small trials throughout the world .
It was used to treat Avian Flu ( 1997 ) , SARS ( 2003 ) , MERS ( 2015 ) and many other diseases that cause a cytokine storm ( such as lupus ) for decades .
So , why is it now so bad and risky ?
Some , patients will sadly still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this medication or indeed any other treatment .
Those sad cases are a tiny proportion of those treated .
However , every reported case I have researched , the underlying complications and/or delayed treatment has been found to be the primary factor though .
This is all anecdotal evidence until you take the dozens of studies and add them together .
As such , we already have had large scale randomized testing of this drug , provided under doctors supervision , in combination with Azithromycin .
So , right now these are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 19 complications .
• Taking an expensive and risky experimental drug on trial for Ebola ( Remdesivir ) .
• Taking an ‘ off label ’ medication that has already successfully treated thousands .
Some results are being reported for Remdesivir ( a minimal 4 % benefit in mortality reduction in current trials ) and plasma transfusion , but neither of those have gone through rigorous double-blind studies in the treatment of COVID 19 either .
So , why are these treatments acceptable and Hydroxychloroquine is not ?
The CDC is not expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mid 2021 .
Would you really wait for double-blind studies to come back if your very life depended on it ?
A vaccine , the only other long term option presented , could be 12 to 18 months away ( if at all** ) .
Also , we have a vaccine for H1N1 ( also known as Spanish Flu , Swine Flu and since 2009 , seasonal flu ) .
H1N1 still kills tens of thousands or more every year .
So , even with a vaccine , a treatment is also required @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need hospitalization and end up on a ventilator , COVID 19 has proven fatal , if not treated early and appropriately , in almost every case .
There are two primary causes of death being reported in relation to COVID 19 .
The cytokine storm ( similar to an autoimmune reaction such as in Lupus ) and pneumonia .
So , ask yourself , why Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromycin ( a common antibiotic used for chest infections ) works ?
Associated with the cytokine storm , a significant factor in this co-morbidities for COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has long been known to be directly related to cytokine storm deaths in influenza and other coronavirus infections [ Link ] .
This is also the primary final stage for COVID 19 patients who are not treated early enough .
This may explain why Hydroxychloroquine is so effective in early treatment of COVID 19 .
Not only is it an autoimmune drug ( for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis ) that suppresses a cytokine storm , it also helps lower blood sugar levels .
[ Link ] [ Link ] Can you really afford @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wouldn ’ t .
I haven ’ t had a drink in almost four decades .
But bottoms up !
Pour me a G & T ( derivative ) !

• None How the humble Gin & Tonic may save the world from COVID 19 .

There is a lot of negativity around the discussion about Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin. As a result, people are saying they wouldn’t take this particular drug until there are ‘official’ studies completed. These could take years.
Note that there have been a number of press articles and ‘studies’ recently circulated that suggest Hydroxychloroquine is both deadly and does not work.
Yet it is still safe to use for Lupus, Malaria and Rheumatoid Arthritis! Please do your research, these are false and dangerous narratives. More and more doctors worldwide have been successfully treating patients with this drug (as they did with previous coronavirus outbreaks).
However, hydroxychloroquine is the safer version of chloroquine, a synthetic version of quinine, the active ingredient in tonic water. See: blogs.sciencemag.org
Tonic Water?
Tonic Water was invented to make it easier to take quinine to protect as a prophylactic against malaria. Its common use dates back to the 1800’s. It was first commercially produced in 1858.
Yes, that bitter tasting fizzy drink which became a staple around the world to the point of being a legend! The British, (being what we are!) decided it needed a bit of a kick to wash it down. And thus was born the infamous Gin and Tonic.
“It is a curious fact, and one to which no-one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonyx, or gee-N’N-T’N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand variations on this phonetic theme.
The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian ‘chinanto/mnigs’ which is ordinary water served just above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan ‘tzjin-anthony-ks’ which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the only one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that their names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds.”
Douglas Noel Adams (DNA), The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
We might have discovered just how much importance to attach to these prophetic words written in jest.
The history of tonic water and quinine is easy to find. It has been around almost forever. Please note that the current commercial versions of tonic water contain very little quinine. Quinine is toxic if improperly taken, (as are many drugs). Do not try and self-medicate without the advice of your doctor.
So, for Hydroxychloroquine we are now talking about an ‘off label’ use of a medication that has been safely used on millions, if not billions, of people since the 1800’s (or earlier in various forms). You know how many other medications are commonly used ‘off label’ i.e. not for the use on the label? Almost all of them!
If you went to Africa (back when travel was allowed), your doctor probably gave you this drug to protect you from malaria. People take this without a thought for weeks or more. Lupus patients take this as a matter of course, without a thought, for years. Those with rheumatoid arthritis also take this medication with great success. Note that long term use has some side effects. These drugs should never be taken without the advice and/or supervision of a doctor.
If you were given Hydroxychloroquine for COVID 19 for around 6 days, it would most likely be life saving. It has in almost all of the thousands of people tested in small trials throughout the world. It was used to treat Avian Flu (1997), SARS (2003), MERS (2015) and many other diseases that cause a cytokine storm (such as lupus) for decades. So, why is it now so bad and risky?
Some, patients will sadly still die after contracting COVID 19 despite taking this medication or indeed any other treatment. Those sad cases are a tiny proportion of those treated. However, every reported case I have researched, the underlying complications and/or delayed treatment has been found to be the primary factor though. This is all anecdotal evidence until you take the dozens of studies and add them together. As such, we already have had large scale randomized testing of this drug, provided under doctors supervision, in combination with Azithromycin.
So, right now these are the few choices for patients dying with COVID 19 complications.
Dying on a ventilator. [Link] & [Link (check links in article)]
Taking an expensive and risky experimental drug on trial for Ebola (Remdesivir).
Having a risky blood (plasma) transfusion from a previously infected patient.
Taking an ‘off label’ medication that has already successfully treated thousands.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/therapeutic-options.html
Some results are being reported for Remdesivir (a minimal 4% benefit in mortality reduction in current trials) and plasma transfusion, but neither of those have gone through rigorous double-blind studies in the treatment of COVID 19 either. So, why are these treatments acceptable and Hydroxychloroquine is not?
The CDC is not expected to publish results of Hydroxychloroquine trials before mid 2021. Would you really wait for double-blind studies to come back if your very life depended on it?
A vaccine, the only other long term option presented, could be 12 to 18 months away (if at all**). Also, we have a vaccine for H1N1 (also known as Spanish Flu, Swine Flu and since 2009, seasonal flu). H1N1 still kills tens of thousands or more every year. So, even with a vaccine, a treatment is also required to save lives.
For those who need hospitalization and end up on a ventilator, COVID 19 has proven fatal, if not treated early and appropriately, in almost every case.
There are two primary causes of death being reported in relation to COVID 19. The cytokine storm (similar to an autoimmune reaction such as in Lupus) and pneumonia. So, ask yourself, why Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromycin (a common antibiotic used for chest infections) works?
Associated with the cytokine storm, a significant factor in this co-morbidities for COVID 19 is high blood sugar. This has long been known to be directly related to cytokine storm deaths in influenza and other coronavirus infections [Link]. This is also the primary final stage for COVID 19 patients who are not treated early enough.
This may explain why Hydroxychloroquine is so effective in early treatment of COVID 19. Not only is it an autoimmune drug (for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis) that suppresses a cytokine storm, it also helps lower blood sugar levels. [Link] [Link]
Can you really afford to wait? I couldn’t and wouldn’t. I haven’t had a drink in almost four decades. But bottoms up! Pour me a G & T (derivative)!

What Is Gilead’s Role In The War On Hydroxychloroquine?
Written by Antonio Chaves
Is Gilead, the maker of Remdesivir, waging war on HCQ (hydroxychloroquine)? Attacks on the drug have been continuous ever since Dr. Didier Raoult used this quinine derivative to save the lives of COVID-19 patients last March.
The first attempt to discredit HCQ was a hastily compiled Veterans Administration hospital system study last April. Notably, one of the study’s authors had in the past received numerous grants from Gilead, with one grant in 2018 totaling nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
After deep flaws in the VA study were exposed, Surgisphere came to the rescue in May with a “15,000 patient” megastudy allegedly compiled from hospitals all over the world.
This strategy succeeded: Following its publication in the Lancet and the NEJM, all outpatient use of HCQ was severely restricted in the U.S., Australia, and most of Europe.
When the Surgisphere scam was exposed, both articles were quietly retracted and the editor-in-chief of the Lancet tried to wash his hands of this embarrassing incident by denouncing Surgisphere’s “monumental fraud.”
However only a few days earlier, Lancet editors played a major role in persuading WHO to suspend all trials for HCQ. Who put them up to it?
The study’s main author, Mandeep Mehra, also apologized for his reliance on a third party for the data. He may not have known the data was fabricated, but the hospital he directed was conducting two trials for Remdesivir. Was he under pressure from his sponsors?
These are the stakes :
A five-day treatment with Remdesivir costs around $3,000.
A five-day supply of generic HCQ costs around $10.
Drug companies have every right to recoup their cost of research and development, but lobbying to suppress access to a lifesaving treatment that is both cheaper and more effective is a crime against humanity.
Progressives mistakenly believe that socialized medicine protects patients from the abuses of big pharma, but the first nation to severely restrict access to HCQ was France.
This policy compelled Dr. Raoult to testify against Gilead’s disproportionate leverage over the medical community during a meeting of the French National Assembly last June.
Notably in the U.S., a third of the FDA’s budget comes from pharmaceutical user fees, and according to the NIH’s website, eight out of 55 members of the panel responsible for COVID-19 treatment guidelines are currently affiliated with Gilead. These government ties to Gilead more than triple when you include panel members with past associations.
Paradoxically, most opposition to HCQ in the U.S. comes from the left, but conservatives who know the ways of crony capitalism regard this as par for the course. After all, big pharma has given more to Democrats ever since the passage of Obamacare and up to now, Gilead employees donated three times more to the Biden campaign.
Sooner or later there will be a reckoning for everyone who colluded in this disinformation campaign. If you are among the policymakers or physicians participating in this charade, you may want to dissociate yourself while you can credibly plead ignorance for tens of thousands of preventable deaths.

Shutdowns Spur Mental Health Crisis in US , Experts Say A basket of worries—spurred by anxieties related to job security , financial instability , grief from death , or loneliness—are plaguing an increasing number of Americans living amid the COVID-19 pandemic and its shutdown measures .
Among 5,412 Americans surveyed at the end of June , 41 percent reported at least one adverse mental or behavioral health condition , according to an Aug. 14 Morbidity and Mortality report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) .
The number is higher among younger adults between the ages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent of respondents reporting experiencing at least one condition .
Dr. Carla Marie Manly , a clinical psychologist who specializes in stress and anxiety , has noticed “ a huge surge in depression , suicidality , and anxiety during the pandemic , ” she told The Epoch Times .
Manly has participated in a number of programs to help those affected , including virtual group sessions , free mental health videos , and individual therapy work .
Just over 10 percent of adults reported seriously considering suicide in the previous 30 days before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twice the number reported in 2018 .
The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 stands at 176,223 , according to Aug. 24 data from the CDC , and at least 5.68 million cases .
A growing number of tragedies , coupled with the uncertainty of the CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ) virus , is spurring a similar mindset to a restless period that occurred after 9/11 , according to Carole Lieberman , a doctor , psychiatrist , and author .
She also warned about the negative effects of a fearmongering media .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , lonely deaths that patients with COVID-19 suffer because they ’ re in quarantine , ” Lieberman told The Epoch Times .
“ Forced isolation through stay-at-home mandates can cause many physical and psychological problems including anxiety , depression , and suicide.
” Lockdown restrictions and the pandemic itself are taking a severe mental toll on many , something that needs to be addressed and prepared for , mental health experts say .
It should “ absolutely ” be treated as a national health crisis , according to Nicole Avena , assistant professor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medicine in New York City and a visiting professor of health psychology at Princeton University .
While some are handling the pressures well and making the best of the time to be with their families , many have turned to unhealthy coping methods such as alcohol or overeating , she said .
Other factors , such as children not being able to attend school , could also be affecting well-being .
“ People are worried about a possible second wave of the virus , but I can guarantee we will have a second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is already unfolding with increased suicides , drug overdoses , and alcohol use , ” Avena said .
According to the CDC report , more than 13 percent said they had begun or increased the use of substances to cope with stress related to COVID-19 .
Substance use was defined as the use of alcohol , legal or illegal drugs , or prescription drugs taken in a way not recommended by a person ’ s doctor .
“ I think we need to be a little more realistic about the situation that has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impacting mental health , ” Avena said .
“ Mental health is often an invisible condition , and we are treating it like it doesn ’ t exist amid this pandemic—and that isn ’ t right.

Shutdowns Spur Mental Health Crisis in US, Experts Say
Written by Bowen Xiao
A basket of worries—spurred by anxieties related to job security, financial instability, grief from death, or loneliness—are plaguing an increasing number of Americans living amid the COVID-19 pandemic and its shutdown measures.
Among 5,412 Americans surveyed at the end of June, 41 percent reported at least one adverse mental or behavioral health condition, according to an Aug. 14 Morbidity and Mortality report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The number is higher among younger adults between the ages of 18 and 24, with 75 percent of respondents reporting experiencing at least one condition.
Dr. Carla Marie Manly, a clinical psychologist who specializes in stress and anxiety, has noticed “a huge surge in depression, suicidality, and anxiety during the pandemic,” she told The Epoch Times. Manly has participated in a number of programs to help those affected, including virtual group sessions, free mental health videos, and individual therapy work.
Just over 10 percent of adults reported seriously considering suicide in the previous 30 days before June, the CDC said, approximately twice the number reported in 2018.
The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 stands at 176,223, according to Aug. 24 data from the CDC, and at least 5.68 million cases.
A growing number of tragedies, coupled with the uncertainty of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, is spurring a similar mindset to a restless period that occurred after 9/11, according to Carole Lieberman, a doctor, psychiatrist, and author.
She also warned about the negative effects of a fearmongering media.
“We’ve heard about the horrible, lonely deaths that patients with COVID-19 suffer because they’re in quarantine,” Lieberman told The Epoch Times. “Forced isolation through stay-at-home mandates can cause many physical and psychological problems including anxiety, depression, and suicide.”
Lockdown restrictions and the pandemic itself are taking a severe mental toll on many, something that needs to be addressed and prepared for, mental health experts say.
It should “absolutely” be treated as a national health crisis, according to Nicole Avena, assistant professor of neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and a visiting professor of health psychology at Princeton University.
While some are handling the pressures well and making the best of the time to be with their families, many have turned to unhealthy coping methods such as alcohol or overeating, she said. Other factors, such as children not being able to attend school, could also be affecting well-being.
“People are worried about a possible second wave of the virus, but I can guarantee we will have a second wave of mental health crisis, which is already unfolding with increased suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol use,” Avena said.
According to the CDC report, more than 13 percent said they had begun or increased the use of substances to cope with stress related to COVID-19. Substance use was defined as the use of alcohol, legal or illegal drugs, or prescription drugs taken in a way not recommended by a person’s doctor.
“I think we need to be a little more realistic about the situation that has unfolded in terms of how it is impacting mental health,” Avena said. “Mental health is often an invisible condition, and we are treating it like it doesn’t exist amid this pandemic—and that isn’t right.”
Living Together
One couple based in Los Angeles said their lives were turned upside down due to the pandemic and almost tore their relationship apart.
Their families live on either side of the country. With no one else for company except each other, they began “driving each other insane” and “things started falling apart,” Mikayla Wilkens told The Epoch Times. Pre-pandemic, the pair often traveled for modeling work.
“In June, we were engaged and on the verge of splitting completely,” she said. “The pandemic took a toll on both of us.”
With no set schedule, and stuck in the house, Wilkens’s mental health declined to the point where she checked into a 45-day treatment program in mid-June, giving her and her husband some needed time apart. Her husband also started therapy.
After receiving help, they bounced back stronger than ever, Wilkens said.
After the programs, they were able “to teach each other new things and help one another through our bad days,” she said. They made their relationship more of a priority as well.
“We run numerous businesses together, and I personally am a workaholic. … So every day, we put our phones away at a certain time and spend quality time together cooking, playing a game, going out in nature around our house, reading books together, et cetera,” Wilkens said.
“This has completely transformed our relationship.”
Handling a Crisis
While there has been a rise in demand in recent years for different behavioral services, in part due to greater awareness surrounding the importance of mental health, the pandemic has highlighted the need to make mental health a national priority, experts said.
“We work with 2-1-1 hotlines across the country and they have told us that the pandemic has doubled or even tripled the number of mental health support requests they are fielding,” Ted Quinn, CEO and founder of Activate Care, told The Epoch Times.
“This is now an epidemic within a pandemic,” he added.
An accredited online pharmacy, meanwhile, has seen a rise in people ordering sleep prescriptions, a bump that is most likely due “to an increase in cases of pandemic-induced insomnia,” Jessica Nouhavandi, lead pharmacist, co-founder, and co-CEO of Honeybee Health, told The Epoch Times.
“It is our understanding that sleep medications and sleep problems are closely linked to mental health.”
New York-based psychiatrist Dr. Zlatin Ivanov has witnessed firsthand a recent spike in clients suffering from anxiety, noting that “cases of depression went through the roof.”
Ivanov says many are struggling from missing out on their daily routines and other small pleasures. While medical professionals agree that social distancing is crucial for mitigating the spread of COVID-19, “the psychiatrists are well aware of the psychological impact this will have on a person’s life,” he told The Epoch Times.
A person is considered to be experiencing a mental health issue when they struggle with day-to-day life, according to Ivanov. People often come to him because they don’t feel like themselves, get angry easily, lack energy, feel restless, can’t sleep, or experience panic attacks out of the blue.
Treatments are always defined by the personality, background, and personal circumstances of each person, he added.
For couples facing problems brought on or worsened by the pandemic, Wilkens said they should try to remember they aren’t alone in experiencing difficulties and should set aside time to reconnect with each other.
Wilkens said that people shouldn’t stay silent about their struggles and should reach out for professional help if needed. Everyone also needs healthy ways of releasing negative emotions, such as meditation or yoga.
“Emotions are not facts, and they do not last forever,” she said. “I think, overall, this pandemic saved our relationship, and we are more happy together than ever before.”

Climate Change Isn’t Worsening Natural Disasters
Written by H Sterling Burnett
Another day, another search of Google for articles on “Climate Change.” It’s just more media misleading bait-and-switch claims that climate change is causing more severe, more frequent natural disasters.
This time the offender is CNET which published a story, “Deadlier fires, hurricanes, floods: Climate change could make natural disasters even worse,” which opens making a series of claims that are, at worst, patently false or, at best, misleading.
“First, the facts: Natural disasters are — statistically speaking — getting both worse and more frequent,” states the first paragraph of the CNET story, continuing, “Wildfire season is longer and more destructive than at any time in recorded history. In the US, flood zones encompass more homes than ever before. And hurricanes are striking with more destructive power than in years past. That much is indisputable.”
In truth, every statement made in that paragraph is disputable, with two the claims being flat out wrong, and one, true but misleading.
The Wildfire season is neither longer nor more destructive than at any time in recorded history, indeed, the number and severity of wildfires have declined sharply over the past century-and-a-half even as the earth has modestly warmed.
As reported in Climate at a Glance: Wildfires, records from the U.S. National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) wildfires have declined in number and severity in recent decades.
The NIFC tracks data on U.S. wildfires back as far as 1926, and it shows the number of acres burned is far less now than it was throughout the early 20th century.
As the Figure below shows, current acres burned run about 1/4th to 1/5th of the record values which occurred in the 1930s.
Globally, the data on wildfires is just as clear. On page 67 of Bjorn Lomborg’s book False Alarm he points to research demonstrating:
“There is plenty of evidence for a reduction in the level of devastation caused by fire, with satellites showing a 25 percent reduction globally in burned area just over the past 18 years … In total, the global amount of area burned as declined by more than 540,000 square miles, from 1.9 million square miles in the early part of the last century to 1.4 million square miles today.”
It is true that even as the amount of acreage burned in wildfires has fallen the economic costs of wildfires has increased, but that is due to ever greater numbers of people moving into, and communities expanding into, areas historically prone to wildfires, and erecting ever more expensive homes, commercial developments, and related infrastructure there.
Climate change is not responsible for rising wildfire costs, but urban development in formerly rural, wildfire-prone areas is.
Concerning Hurricanes, the data is equally clear and unalarming: Hurricanes are neither increasing in number or severity.
Indeed, the actual data show the number of hurricanes and the number of major hurricanes (Class Three and above) has both declined over the past 30 years.
Globally, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) observes globally there is, “only low confidence for the attribution of any detectable changes in tropical cyclone activity to anthropogenic influences.”
And, as Climate at a Glance: Hurricanes details, in the United States hurricane impacts are at an all-time low.
“The United States recently went more than a decade (2005 through 2017) without a major hurricane measuring Category 3 or higher, which is the longest such period in recorded history. The United States also recently experienced the fewest number of hurricane strikes in any eight-year period (2009 through 2017) in recorded history,” notes meteorologist Anthony Watts citing data from the National Hurricane Center.
Those are the facts about wildfires and hurricanes that are indisputable.
Anyone who reads beyond the opening paragraph in the CNET article will find that even the author acknowledges the increase in damage from flood events is difficult to attribute to climate change.
Indeed, as Climate at a Glance: Floods points out the IPCC can find no evidence climate change has written it has “low confidence” in any climate change impact regarding the frequency or severity of floods, essentially conceding climate change is as likely to be making floods less frequent and less severe as making them worse.
However, as CNET’s article notes, more people have been moving into flood plains, which means when flood strike more people, homes, business, and infrastructure are affected.
The latter point is true of rising damages and costs from wildfires and hurricanes.
As more and more people move to, and communities and cities expand into, areas that are historically disaster-prone, building ever more expensive homes, retail developments, and infrastructure, when natural disasters strike, due to what Lomborg calls the “expanding bullseye effect, naturally more people and structures are putting themselves in harm’s way.
Thus the higher costs are is not due to climate change but simply because more, more valuable, assets are at risk from demographic shifts in where people live and the lifestyles they pursue.
Contrary to the narrative spun out by CNET, however, these costs aren’t due, “simply more people than ever before that need housing,” but rather because of where they choose to build that housing and live.
There are millions of acres far from coasts (hurricanes), rivers (floods), and forests (wildfires), lands not prone to relatively regular incidences of natural disasters, where people could build housing.
Indeed, real estate markets show, on the whole, this land is much cheaper to purchase and build upon. People choose to build in disaster zones, they aren’t forced to do so by the need for housing.
Separating truth from fiction about the supposed influence of climate change on the incidence and severity of natural disasters is easy if one looks; if one relies on readily available data rather than assertions from alarmist climate lobbyists, like the Natural Resources Defense Council, as CNET does, one might even stumble upon the truth.
