The Obama Conspiracy

Parts of the MSM , at long last , are finally picking up on the deals done by Hunter Biden when his with respect sleazy father was Vice-President .
There is however a bigger conspiracy involving the Democratic nominee – Barack Hussein Obama , President when Joe Biden was Vice-President , wasn ’ t entitled to hold the office and Joe must have known it .
How could he be that close to ‘ von ’ Obama for that long and not know ?
This isn ’ t an ‘ October Surprise ’ .
I ’ ve known that Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what is now Kenya for over 20 years , learning it first from old Africa hands .
‘ Von ’ Obama ’ s father ran guns for the Mau Mau terrorist organisation , which had some odd ideas , no offense intended , about the benefits of British rule in Kenya , wanting to replace it with German rule .
So far as I can tell Mr O was born on April 8th ( reversing the date order of his official birthday ) 1960 .
Since Mombasa was then part of the Coastal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His Highness the Sultan of Zanzibar and a British Protected Person at birth .
On the creation of the Republic of Kenya in December 1963 , when the Protectorate was merged with Kenya Colony , Mr O became a Kenyan Citizen .
Interestingly he also became a British Subject , as in strict constitutional law all citizens of Commonwealth countries are subjects of Her Majesty , even if they are not usually referred to as such .
( Since that wonderful actor Sidney Poitier KBE is a dual American/Bahamian national he also remains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one – unless there is some specific Bahamian objection I see no reason at all why he should not be referred to as ‘ Sir Sidney ’ . )
Mr O thus became the first British Subject to become an American President , George Washington arguably having thrown his British Subject status over by waging war on that nice man King George III , who by the way was no more a tyrant than Woodrow Wilson .
All this is set out in my book Spyhunter .
The MSM have never seriously engaged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been born as claimed in Honololu on August 4th 1961 .
Those arguments are actually quite powerful , hence the resort to hysterical ‘ birther ’ abuse .
First and foremost the DNA test carried out , on my advice , by the CIA ruled out the relationship between Mr O and his claimed maternal grandmother , Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham .
She was an interesting person in her own right , being the subject of a sealed FBI file dating from 1944 in connection with sabotage of the B-29 line at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Since there is no reason to doubt that Madelyn Dunham was Ann Dunham ’ s mother the DNA test effectively ruled out Mr O ’ s claim to have been born , like Bruce Springsteen , in the USA .
Since Barack Obama Senior ’ s ‘ marriage ’ to Ann Dunham was bigamous ( he was already married to Kezia Obama ) , Ann Dunham was too young in 1961 to have transmitted US nationality in any event , that is to say even on the Democratic Party ’ s own version @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US Citizen .
American citizenship is more than an advantage for a candidate for the office of President – it ’ s a requirement .
There are other reasons for rejecting Mr O ’ s claims to have been born in one of two claimed hospitals in Honolulu in 1961 .
For one thing Ann Dunham wasn ’ t pregnant in or about July 1961 .
I ’ ve heard of miracle babies , but as I have observed before a four week gestation period is a bit short , even for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with that one , and they ’ re still hanging on to the photographs .
( Hint – where would 18 year old students go on a hot summer ’ s day in Hawaii in 1961 ? )
The two purported birth certificates posted by the Obama White House are not only forgeries , they ’ re not even good forgeries .
If Mr O had genuinely been born in one of the two hospitals in Honolulu he has at various times claimed to have been born in , why would he need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forgeries ?
Why not go to the Hawaiian Government , who are quite nice people , and ask for a certified copy ?
And why would anyone need to murder an Hawaiian official querying the short-form certificate in an air-crash ?
For that matter why would the Obama Administration need to get involved in the reckless prosecution of me in 2014 and take the risk of forcing the FBI in 2015 to abandon their investigation of untrue prosecution claims about my relationship with them ?
That was obstruction of justice and risked embroiling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a scandal – they couldn ’ t have known in 2015 that it would be too hot a topic for the MSM to touch .
The Honolulu birth claim is not backed up medical records from either of the alleged hospitals , nor the alleged attending physician , Dr David Sinclair , nor have the original Hawaiian registers been released .
Mr O ’ s Indonesian records have also not been released .
Interestingly there are no known photographs showing Mr O in the US prior to the age of about two .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was taken to the States until about 1962 , when he was aged about two .
The MSM have never explained how Mr O , as a US Citizen , was eligible for a Fulbright Scholarship at Occidental College , nor on what passport he traveled to Pakistan on at a time when US passports were not valid for travel to that country .
Clearly it wasn ’ t a US passport , indeed it was probably an Indonesian passport giving his correct date and place of birth .
The claim that Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is in fact hopeless .
It is unsupported by reliable , verified documentation and has been backed up by two very obvious forgeries .
How could Joe Biden , as Vice-President , not have known about this ?
Indeed why didn ’ t he support efforts to have Mr O removed from office , which would have made him President ?
Put another way , what does Mr O have on him ?
The various payoffs now being alleged by the media should be seen in that context .

After a bust-up with the Administration the CIA arranged a link to one of their unofficial websites – I ’ m told it had eight million hits in three days !
The Pentagon also made good use of their copy of the DNA report , courtesy of the DIA , although there was a slight snag when a traitor named Edward Snowden used his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moscow .
Boomps-a-daisy , as we say in the trade !
The MSM have been infantilized to such a degree by the DVD ’ s Propaganda Section that I wouldn ’ t be in the least bit surprised to learn that journalists have taken to sleeping in Bunny Rabbit onesies .
Didn ’ t they smell a rat when the White House finally confirmed that the infamous 2011 Situation Room photo was staged ?
Thankfully someone else , quite independently of me , has told the truth .
I ’ m referring of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has reported that bin Laden , known affectionately in the UK as ‘ binliner ’ , was not taken out in 2011 .
Indeed not .
As I explain in Spyhunter the other Mr O was taken out by his own side , the DVD , in Waziristan in 2009 , pursuant to a deal cut by the late George Bush Senior , aka ‘ 41 ’ , a very senior DVD officer , who never quite forgave the Allies for their victory in World War II .
This followed a long-running intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which I was involved , indeed I shopped his first safe house in Pakistan to those nice people the NSA .
When my late friend Brian English had lunch with bin Laden in early 2005 the infamous terrorist had shaved off his beard and was wearing a business suit – he liked his comforts .
( So do I , but I don ’ t dash about mountainsides dressed like a terrorist ! )
The CIA were still running around Tora Bora chasing shadows .
Brian of course knew Osama from his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occupation .
The NSA seemed to be pretty chuffed with the information .
( The conversation went something along the lines of , “ hey are you guys still looking for Osama ?
Are you kidding ?
I never kid the National Security Agency ” . )
I hold no brief for Q and we haven ’ t been in contact , as far as I know .
However he/they clearly has high-level access .
The latest intel dump , very sensibly supported by President Trump , may yet affect the US election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he ’ s going to win by a landslide , but I still predict that he ’ s going to win and win big .
TIPWNOI ( ‘ That Idiot Pelosi Woman , No Offense Intended ’ ) would scarcely be in such a panic if Democrat internal polling was predicting a win for Sleepy Joe .
Whilst polling organisations lack the competence , objectivity and integrity to be able to accurately predict election results where a conservative candidate is standing , they can predict trends .
The polls in the battleground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in reality probably means that the President is increasing his lead .
The Democrats ’ unwillingness to rule out packing the Supreme Court with liberal justices is undoubtedly costing them votes .
Voters do not like politicians messing with the courts , not least when they ’ re swamp creatures , no offense intended , like Biden and TIPWNOI .
I am not overlooking the creditable performance of the polls in New Zealand .
Newshub-Reid Research , in the last published poll before election day , picked up the collapse in the National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t really have a conservative party .
No offense to the promising Judith Collins intended , but New Zealand doesn ’ t have a dynamic conservative leader like President Trump .
( Judith only became leader in July and had little chance to build a following before the election . )
New Zealand First , led by Winston Peters , became an irrelevance when it backed Labour .
Why vote NZF when you can have a genuine socialist ?
Not that Jacinda Ardern is particularly left-wing – she ’ s more of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Tony Blair , albeit nicer .
As predicted on these pages the Anglo-European trade talks have finally collapsed .
We should never have embarked upon them in the first place –the EU doesn ’ t believe in free trade and was only ever interested in punishing us for leaving .
They are not our friends , any more than our community partners Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were in the 1930s .
( Brian English met both by the way . )
This is good news for Britain ’ s manufacturing industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will now be protected from predatory European imports by a tariff wall .
Given Germany ’ s use of sabotage and strikes to undermine our car industry their manufacturers can hardly be heard to complain .
They ’ ve had it their own way for far too long .
All we need to do now is to stop banging on about global warming , scrap silly subsidies for electric cars , bring back low-lead fuel and raise the fuel duty on diesel to encourage a switch to petrol .
European carmakers will continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policies .
Freed of control from Brussels we can adopt sane , rational policies .
There ’ s no law against rational government !
Stupid government is the practice , but it ’ s not a constitutional requirement .
I applaud the Royal Pardon for the eponymous Steve Gallant , the convicted murderer who helped save lives in the terrorist attack on London Bridge last November .
His sentence is being reduced by 10 months and rightly so .
Steven Gallant once took a human life wrongly .
He has shown genuine remorse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his life to save others .
He deserves his pardon .
It ’ s not a complete pardon , of course , only time off sentence .
( Hopefully I ’ ll be next ! )
Incidentally when I intervened in HMP Wandsworth to cut down my South Korean cellmate , who was trying to hang himself , nobody even thanked me , officially at any rate .
( He was a Catholic and the Catholic chaplaincy said some kind words . )
Human life is not that valued by the Civil Service @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunity to save a life , take it – you ’ ll feel good about yourself afterwards .
That ’ s not the reason for doing it , of course , but you ’ ll still feel good !
It ’ s one reason I got through prison relatively unscathed .
If you save a life in prison word gets around .
Slightly to my surprise I got a call from Teheran on Friday morning asking if I could go live on Press TV at 11 am !
A row had blown up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regularise criminal conduct by covert human intelligence sources .

VT: In early 2014, a team from Adamas, headed by Gordon Duff, was sent to Nairobi to aid in security efforts after a terror attack in September 2013. During meetings with the Minister of Interior, Gordon Duff asked about Obama being born there and how one team member, a former FBI agent (senior official), was a ‘birther.’
When the laughing stopped this was the reply: ‘The whole thing is a scam.’

Armenian-Azeri war update: 10-19-20

The Case for Affirming the Independence of the Armenian Republic In recent years , many territories ’ declarations of independence have been justifiably affirmed through international agreements .
The Republic of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabagh ’ s declaration of independence from Azerbaijan three decades ago is as legitimate as any of those .
Artsakh is the republic ’ s ancient Armenian name .
Artsakh and Christian Armenia have been under attack by Azerbaijan , Turkey , jihadist terrorists , and ISIS since September 27 .
Turkey is using its army , American-built F-16 jets , drones , and other weapons against Armenians .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israel , including illegal cluster bombs being targeted against civilians .
Israel is currently resupplying Azerbaijan .
Artsakh , like Armenia , is thousands of years old .
In contrast , no country named Azerbaijan existed before 1918 .
It was cobbled together out of a diverse population of what were called Muslims or Tartars , as well as Armenians , Persians , Russians , and others .
No such identity as ‘ Azeri ’ had ever existed .
We ’ ll show that Artsakh justifiably and legitimately voted for self-determination as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but brutish overlord .
Turkey and Azerbaijan speak Turkic dialects .
Therefore , Soviet dictator Josef Stalin fantasized ( incorrectly , as it turned out ) that Mustafa Kemal ( Ataturk ) and his incipient Turkish Republic could be lured into the USSR ’ s web .
So in the early 1920s , Stalin transferred Artsakh — then 96 % Armenian — and the Armenian territory of Nakhichevan to Azerbaijan .
Stalin ’ s blunder is the root cause of the present impasse over Artsakh .
Shortly before the transfer , Azerbaijan massacred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , and elsewhere .
These crimes were part of the Armenian Genocide that Turkey was already committing from 1915 on .
Stalin also transferred Armenian land to Azerbaijan such that Artsakh became geographically cut off from Armenia .
Many majority Armenian areas were also excluded from Artsakh .
The latter became a nominally “ autonomous ” region within Soviet Azerbaijan but , in reality , under the latter ’ s heavy jackboot .
Artsakh voted for self-determination in accordance with Soviet law in 1988 and international law in 1991 .
Self-determination and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law .
In response , Azerbaijan massacred Armenians in its own cities of Baku , Kirovabad/Ganja , and Sumgait .
A war ensued which the outnumbered and outgunned Armenians won in 1994 .
Artsakh ’ s long nightmare through seven decades of Azerbaijani rule was due not to Communism but rather to raw Azeri ethno-racial fanaticism .
Under Azeri rule , Artsakh ’ s Armenians dropped from 95 % to 76 % of the population — the product of deportations , exile , murder , theft , oppression , and Azerbaijan ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority .
The KGB ’ s Heydar Aliyev — father of current Azeri dictator Ilham Aliyev — admitted to exiling Artsakh ’ s Armenians and bringing in Azeris .
Reported Russia ’ s REGNUM news agency : “ I tried to increase the number of Azeris and to reduce the number of Armenians.
” Armenian historical figures ’ titles were crudely Islamized to “ Pasha ” or “ Bey.
” Fifth century Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi became Muhammed al-Khojayi .
References to Armenian history in textbooks were excised .
Even the written word @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The material was sent to Azerbaijan .
Many schools , orphanages , and libraries were shuttered .
Food processing factories were closed and the equipment transferred to Azerbaijan .
Hundreds of thousands of tons of meat , dairy products , and wool were sent to Azerbaijan instead of being provided to local Armenians .
Armenian leaders who protested were often imprisoned or sent to Siberia on orders from Baku .
Farms and cattle were confiscated .
Armenians were frequently banished .
Their apartments were given to Azeri immigrants .
Museums were looted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proved Artsakh to be ancient Armenian land .
Murderous Azeri gangs were protected by Baku .
Inscriptions in the Armenian alphabet on ancient monuments were depicted as Azeri .
Armenian cemeteries were destroyed .
Complaints by Armenians to Baku went unanswered .
Petitions by Armenians were sent to Soviet Premiers Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev in 1965 and 1977 , to no avail .
Fast forward to the late 1980s and early 1990s as Artsakh broke Baku ’ s chokehold and voted for self-determination .
Azerbaijan ’ s response was , as noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Artsakh .
But Armenians defended their honor and native land and were victorious .
During the war , Azerbaijan deployed thousands of foreign jihadis and terrorists such as Afghan Mujahedin , Chechen militants , and Turkey ’ s Grey Wolves fascists to fight Armenians .
Azerbaijan and Turkey are doing exactly the same thing these past weeks .
These things tell us everything we need to know about Azerbaijan ’ s and Turkey ’ s malign political culture and intentions .
Azerbaijan is now executing captured Armenian POWs and filming it .
Azerbaijan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are reformist democracies .
The current U.S. State Department report on Azerbaijan lists these problems and more : “ unlawful or arbitrary killing ; torture ; arbitrary detention ; life-threatening prison conditions ; political prisoners ; heavy restrictions on free expression , the press , and the internet , including violence against journalists ; interference with the rights of peaceful assembly ; severe restrictions on political participation ; systemic government corruption ; police detention and torture of lesbian , gay , and bisexual individuals.
” The official U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tolerating severe violations of religious freedom.
” Europe ’ s Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project ( OCCRP ) gave its first “ Organized Crime and Corruption Person of the Year ” award to President Aliyev .
At a NATO English language course in Hungary in 2004 , Azeri Lieutenant Ramil Safarov axed Armenian Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan to death .
Safarov was convicted and imprisoned .
But later , Hungary illegally transferred him to Azerbaijan , where was greeted as a national hero , awarded a medal , promoted , and given an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Would you ever submit to even nominal Azeri rule ?
Of course not .
Had Artsakh ’ s Armenians not voted and fought for self-determination , they would eventually have suffered the same fate as Nakhichevan ’ s Armenians : By 1989 , Azerbaijan had forced every Armenian to leave .
Using pickaxes and dump trucks , Azeri soldiers even obliterated a 9th Century Armenian Christian cemetery in Nakhichevan along with thousands of intricately carved headstones .
View the live video on Youtube ’ s “ New Tears of the Araxes.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Stalin must be corrected .
As Azerbaijan , Turkey , and jihadist terrorists continue their attempts to depopulate and occupy Artsakh , international recognition of the latter would help immeasurably .
The French parliament is now discussing doing so .
Artsakh deserves to be formally recognized right now as the independent and democratic republic it is .
Artsakh awaits the awakening of the world ’ s conscience before it ’ s too late .

We’ll show that Artsakh justifiably and legitimately voted for self-determination as it separated from Azerbaijan, its previous temporary but brutish overlord.
The Stalinist Giveaway
Turkey and Azerbaijan speak Turkic dialects. Therefore, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin fantasized (incorrectly, as it turned out) that Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and his incipient Turkish Republic could be lured into the USSR’s web.
So in the early 1920s, Stalin transferred Artsakh — then 96% Armenian — and the Armenian territory of Nakhichevan to Azerbaijan. Stalin’s blunder is the root cause of the present impasse over Artsakh.
Shortly before the transfer, Azerbaijan massacred Armenians in Artsakh, Baku (Azerbaijan), and elsewhere. These crimes were part of the Armenian Genocide that Turkey was already committing from 1915 on.
Stalin also transferred Armenian land to Azerbaijan such that Artsakh became geographically cut off from Armenia. Many majority Armenian areas were also excluded from Artsakh. The latter became a nominally “autonomous” region within Soviet Azerbaijan but, in reality, under the latter’s heavy jackboot.
Artsakh voted for self-determination in accordance with Soviet law in 1988 and international law in 1991. Self-determination and territorial integrity have equal standing under international law. In response, Azerbaijan massacred Armenians in its own cities of Baku, Kirovabad/Ganja, and Sumgait. A war ensued which the outnumbered and outgunned Armenians won in 1994.
Artsakh’s long nightmare through seven decades of Azerbaijani rule was due not to Communism but rather to raw Azeri ethno-racial fanaticism.
Artsakh’s Long Nightmare
Under Azeri rule, Artsakh’s Armenians dropped from 95% to 76% of the population — the product of deportations, exile, murder, theft, oppression, and Azerbaijan’s calculatingly importing Azeris to replace the Armenian majority.
The KGB’s Heydar Aliyev — father of current Azeri dictator Ilham Aliyev — admitted to exiling Artsakh’s Armenians and bringing in Azeris. Reported Russia’s REGNUM news agency: “I tried to increase the number of Azeris and to reduce the number of Armenians.”
Armenian historical figures’ titles were crudely Islamized to “Pasha” or “Bey.” Fifth-century Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi became Muhammed al-Khojayi.
References to Armenian history in textbooks were excised. Even the written word Artsakh was banned. Baku stole from Armenian schools. The material was sent to Azerbaijan. Many schools, orphanages, and libraries were shuttered.
Food processing factories were closed and the equipment transferred to Azerbaijan. Hundreds of thousands of tons of meat, dairy products, and wool were sent to Azerbaijan instead of being provided to local Armenians.
Armenian leaders who protested were often imprisoned or sent to Siberia on orders from Baku. Farms and cattle were confiscated. Armenians were frequently banished. Their apartments were given to Azeri immigrants.
Museums were looted of precious artifacts, particularly those that proved Artsakh to be ancient Armenian land. Murderous Azeri gangs were protected by Baku.
Inscriptions in the Armenian alphabet on ancient monuments were depicted as Azeri. Armenian cemeteries were destroyed. Complaints by Armenians to Baku went unanswered.
Petitions by Armenians were sent to Soviet Premiers Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev in 1965 and 1977, to no avail. Fast forward to the late 1980s and early 1990s as Artsakh broke Baku’s chokehold and voted for self-determination.
Massacres, Jihadis, and More
Azerbaijan’s response was, as noted above, massacres. Azerbaijan then invaded Artsakh. But Armenians defended their honor and native land and were victorious.
During the war, Azerbaijan deployed thousands of foreign jihadis and terrorists such as Afghan Mujahedin, Chechen militants, and Turkey’s Grey Wolves fascists to fight Armenians. Azerbaijan and Turkey are doing exactly the same thing these past weeks.
These things tell us everything we need to know about Azerbaijan’s and Turkey’s malign political culture and intentions.
Azerbaijan is now executing captured Armenian POWs and filming them. Azerbaijan is a dictatorship. Artsakh and Armenia are reformist democracies.
The current U.S. State Department report on Azerbaijan lists these problems and more: “unlawful or arbitrary killing; torture; arbitrary detention; life-threatening prison conditions; political prisoners; heavy restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including violence against journalists; interference with the rights of peaceful assembly; severe restrictions on political participation; systemic government corruption; police detention and torture of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals.”
The official U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom cites Azerbaijan for “engaging in or tolerating severe violations of religious freedom.”
Europe’s Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) gave its first “Organized Crime and Corruption Person of the Year” award to President Aliyev.
At a NATO English language course in Hungary in 2004, Azeri Lieutenant Ramil Safarov axed Armenian Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan to death. Safarov was convicted and imprisoned. But later, Hungary illegally transferred him to Azerbaijan, where was greeted as a national hero, awarded a medal, promoted, and given an apartment.
Imagine you lived in Artsakh. Would you ever submit to even nominal Azeri rule? Of course not.
Had Artsakh’s Armenians not voted and fought for self-determination, they would eventually have suffered the same fate as Nakhichevan’s Armenians: By 1989, Azerbaijan had forced every Armenian to leave.
Using pickaxes and dump trucks, Azeri soldiers even obliterated a 9th Century Armenian Christian cemetery in Nakhichevan along with thousands of intricately carved headstones. View the live video on Youtube’s “New Tears of the Araxes.”
International Recognition
The unjust decision and grave error made by Stalin must be corrected.
As Azerbaijan, Turkey, and jihadist terrorists continue their attempts to depopulate and occupy Artsakh, international recognition of the latter would help immeasurably. The French parliament is now discussing doing so.
Artsakh deserves to be formally recognized right now as the independent and democratic republic it is. Artsakh awaits the awakening of the world’s conscience before it’s too late.


veteranstoday--2020-10-19--NYT: What Fans of ‘Herd Immunity’ Won’t Tell You

No matter their politics , people nearly always listen to those who say what they want to hear .
Hence , it is no surprise that the White House and several governors are now paying close attention to the “ Great Barrington Declaration , ” a proposal written by a group of well-credentialed scientists who want to shift Covid-19 policy toward achieving herd immunity — the point at which enough people have become immune to the virus that its spread becomes unlikely .
They would do this by allowing “ those who are at minimal risk of death to live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say , will allow people “ to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection , while better protecting those who are at highest risk .
We call this Focused Protection.
” These academics are clearly a distinct minority .
Most of their public health colleagues have condemned their proposal as unworkable and unethical — even as amounting to “ mass murder , ” as William Haseltine , a former Harvard Medical School professor who now heads a global health foundation , put it to CNN last week .
But who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do have a point .
Restrictions designed to limit deaths cause real harm , including , but by no means limited to , stress on the economy , increases in domestic violence and drug abuse , declines in tests that screen for cancer and on and on .
