Brilliant. I hope other states follow #Florida now. #Fauci‘s fraud is collapsing rapidly now. Get your fire 🔥 suits on folks, the public backlash on #COVID faux crisis will be harsh… https://t.co/mwgqGyOxKD — Patrick Henningsen (@21WIRE) September 1, 2020
Gov. DeSantis has been advocating for a “full spectrum” approach in dealing with the crisis while being hit hard by critics for appearing to side with Trump too much.
Atlas supported Gov. DeSantis’ comments on lockdowns throughout the presser, emphasizing the importance of continuing to protect those with the highest risk. He has previously called for ending lockdowns and has also stated that waiting for a vaccine before ‘opening’ up more sectors of society is not necessary.
Several data points were shared on the negative impact lockdowns have had on the general population, as well as the lower risk posed to students heading back to school:
In the month of June, of people age 18-24, 25% had reported serious thoughts of suicide;
At one point during the crisis, two-thirds of scheduled cancer screenings were not completed;
Younger people, especially those attending primary, secondary school or college, statistically have a much lower risk of developing symptoms and becoming infected with COVID-19.
“The point of all these things are to save lives. Not document asymptomatic people who are low risk,” Atlas said.
It should be noted that, according to his resume, Atlas has connections to the pharmaceutical industry, having served in the past on several advisory boards, including for Bristol Myers Squibb and Sanofi.
Sanofi is actively developing a vaccine and has received federal grant funding under the banner of the Trump administration’s “Operation Warp Speed” project.

21stcenturywire--2020-09-06--Prof Michael Levitt: ‘The COVID Panic Will Shorten Lives’

Professor Michael Levitt , Nobel Prize winner and Professor of Structural Biology at Stanford , was one of our early interviews during the lockdown era .
Partly due to that interview , which has been watched over 750,000 times on YouTube , he became a leading dissenting scientist , arguing that the trends of Covid-19 were revealed in the numbers , and that they were much less scary than most people thought .
At the end of July , he made a prediction that Covid-19 would be “ done ” by August 25th .
It and was shared across Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come in to our new studio once the date had elapsed , to see how his prediction fared .
On his prediction “ The prediction has fared less well than I hoped…There are 55,000 deaths in the USA every week approximately and right now it ’ s about 5,000 over that .
So I think the details of that prediction have fared less well than I hope but it served as a milestone and what we mean by ‘ over ’ .
It highlighted the importance of looking at excess deaths , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prediction .
My mistake was that I should have done a range instead of a number.
” On his earlier Israel prediction [ case study ] “ The problem was that I should have said excess deaths .
There was a time when Israel had no deaths and the number of cases were about 150 , but I was certainly wrong about that… When i researched it , I found a really big surprise : when you compare 2020 to 2019 , there are actually a few hundred fewer excess deaths in 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have said excess deaths weren ’ t 10 but minus 100 !
If you did the exact same comparison not to 2019 but to 2018 or 2017 , you find that there was quite significant excess deaths in Israel by about 1000 in the rough period of coronavirus .
If you try to track it against the deaths , it doesn ’ t track — it ’ s a much broader peak .
Perhaps something else happened then ” On testing “ At some point we are going to get tired of testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of money , which could much better go to helping people who have lost their jobs and homeless people .
It ’ s great for the pharmaceutical companies selling test kits but it ’ s not do anything good.
” On why flu is more scary than Covid “ Flu is much more devious than coronavirus…Flus can not be easily tamed .
They ’ re much too mutatable — coronaviruses by their nature are staid and have a relatively large genome , which is three times larger than the flu .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s genome is seven little pieces so it can swap pieces with other flus .
It causes massive excess deaths year after year .
I don ’ t think coronavirus where will be a winter wave of any substance .
On returning to normality “ Lack of normality is a terrible risk .
We ’ ve torn the fabric of society and I would not be surprised if the risk of tearing society apart constitutes a 10 times higher excess death risk .
People die from poverty , desperation and alcoholism .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consumption over the past month and we could easily see excess deaths .
A strong smoker loses 10 years of life , which is 120 times higher risk .
An alcoholic might lose four to five years of life from this compared to coronavirus.
” On lockdown “ It was probably wrong of me to say that lockdown was a mistake .
If people have done it , they should be told that it was probably a good idea when they did it , but it ’ s no longer necessary and there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of .
The damage caused by lockdown is something we will suffer but there ’ s no point in dwelling on it .
Going forward we need to basically do whatever we can to get back to normal like schools starting or museums opening .
“ Panic shortens your life ” Back in March my main aim was to stop the panic .
Panic is dangerous and it shortens your life probably more than by a month so we need to think about that .
What ’ s important is the values of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier blog post : what can we do to stop this voluntary suicide of western civilisation .
This is the choice that ’ s facing us : with ZeroCovid , you can pretty much guarantee that the demise of western civilisation will be greatly accelerated .

“The prediction has fared less well than I hoped…There are 55,000 deaths in the USA every week approximately and right now it’s about 5,000 over that. So I think the details of that prediction have fared less well than I hope but it served as a milestone and what we mean by ‘over’. It highlighted the importance of looking at excess deaths, when it’s over and the prediction. My mistake was that I should have done a range instead of a number.”
On his earlier Israel prediction [case study]
“The problem was that I should have said excess deaths. There was a time when Israel had no deaths and the number of cases were about 150, but I was certainly wrong about that… When i researched it, I found a really big surprise: when you compare 2020 to 2019, there are actually a few hundred fewer excess deaths in 2020 compared to 2019, so I should have said excess deaths weren’t 10 but minus 100! If you did the exact same comparison not to 2019 but to 2018 or 2017, you find that there was quite significant excess deaths in Israel by about 1000 in the rough period of coronavirus. If you try to track it against the deaths, it doesn’t track — it’s a much broader peak. Perhaps something else happened then”
On testing
“At some point we are going to get tired of testing. It’s a huge waste of money, which could much better go to helping people who have lost their jobs and homeless people. It’s great for the pharmaceutical companies selling test kits but it’s not done anything good.”
On why flu is more scary than Covid
“Flu is much more devious than coronavirus… Flus cannot be easily tamed. They’re much too mutatable — coronaviruses by their nature are staid and have a relatively large genome, which is three times larger than the flu. It’s a single piece whereas flu’s genome is seven little pieces so it can swap pieces with other flus. It causes massive excess deaths year after year. I don’t think coronavirus will be a winter wave of any substance.
On returning to normality
“Lack of normality is a terrible risk. We’ve torn the fabric of society and I would not be surprised if the risk of tearing society apart constitutes a 10 times higher excess death risk. People die from poverty, desperation and alcoholism. If we look at the statistics on alcohol consumption over the past month and we could easily see excess deaths. A strong smoker loses 10 years of life, which is 120 times higher risk. An alcoholic might lose four to five years of life from this compared to coronavirus.”
On lockdown
“It was probably wrong of me to say that lockdown was a mistake. If people have done it, they should be told that it was probably a good idea when they did it, but it’s no longer necessary and there’s nothing left to be frightened of. The damage caused by lockdown is something we will suffer but there’s no point in dwelling on it. Going forward we need to basically do whatever we can to get back to normal like schools starting or museums opening.
“Panic shortens your life”
Back in March my main aim was to stop the panic. Panic is dangerous and it shortens your life – probably more than by a month, so we need to think about that. What’s important is the values of our society. I asked in an earlier blog post: what can we do to stop this voluntary suicide of western civilisation. This is the choice that’s facing us: with ‘ZeroCovid,’ you can pretty much guarantee that the demise of western civilisation will be greatly accelerated.

BBC reports…
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has said it is “common sense to move in the direction of digital IDs” as part of efforts to fight coronavirus.
Mr Blair said there should be a record kept by the government of those vaccinated against the virus.
The government recently set out plans to change laws to enable the use of digital identity across the UK.
As prime minister, Mr Blair launched a compulsory ID card scheme, but it was scrapped by the coalition government.
Speaking to the BBC’s Newscast podcast, he said that once a coronavirus vaccine is in use “you’re going to want a record of the fact you’ve been vaccinated”.
“You’ll want a record kept by the government of who’s been vaccinated – this will be essential, again, to restoring confidence,” he added.
The former PM argued that improvements in technology meant privacy issues “can be dealt with”.
“You don’t need a large amount of information,” he said adding: “People give a lot more information to their supermarkets than they do to the government.”
Responding to Mr Blair’s comments, Silkie Carlo, Director of Big Brother Watch – a civil liberties campaign group – said: “The idea of digital ID and vaccination checks could easily lead to a health apartheid that few would expect of a democratic country.
“Digital IDs would lead to sensitive records spanning medical, work, travel, and biometric data about each and every one of us being held at the fingertips of authorities and state bureaucrats.
“This dangerous plan would normalise identity checks, increase state control over law abiding citizens and create a honey pot for cybercriminals.”
Mr Blair’s comments come after the government announced plans to update existing laws on identity checking to allow digital identity “to be used as widely as possible”.
It is does not propose resurrecting the ID card scheme, but is “exploring how secure checks could be made against government data,” according to the government announcement.
Digital Infrastructure Minister Matt Warman said: “Digital technology is helping us through the pandemic and continues to improve the way we live, work and access vital services.
“We want to make it easier for people to prove their identity securely online so transactions can become even quicker – it has the potential to add billions to our economy.”
Mr Blair was a keen advocate of ID cards for all UK citizens, as a way of combating terrorism after 9/11, but it was later billed as an “entitlement card” to combat benefit fraud and illegal workers…

21stcenturywire--2020-09-06--Craig Murray: ‘Novichok, Navalny, Nordstream, Nonsense’

Once Navalny was in Berlin it was only a matter of time before it was declared that he was poisoned with Novichok .
The Russophobes are delighted .
This of course eliminates all vestiges of doubt about what happened to the Skripals , and proves that Russia must be isolated and sanctioned to death and we must spend untold billions on weapons and security services .
We must also increase domestic surveillance , crack down on dissenting online opinion .
It also proves that Donald Trump is a Russian puppet and Brexit is a Russian plot .
I am going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am a Russian troll by asking the question Cui Bono ?
, brilliantly identified by the Integrity Initiative ’ s Ben Nimmo as a sure sign of Russian influence .
I should state that I have no difficulty at all with the notion that a powerful oligarch or an organ of the Russian state may have tried to assassinate Navalny .
He is a minor irritant , rather more famous here than in Russia , but not being a major threat does not protect you against political assassination in Russia .
What I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that if Putin , or other very powerful Russian actors , wanted Navalny dead , and had attacked him while he was in Siberia , he would not be alive in Germany today .
If Putin wanted him dead , he would be dead .
Let us first take the weapon of attack .
One thing we know about a “ Novichok ” for sure is that it appears not to be very good at assassination .
Poor Dawn Sturgess is the only person ever to have allegedly died from “ Novichok ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Novichok ” did not kill the Skripals , the actual target .
If Putin wanted Navalny dead , he would try something that works .
Like a bullet to the head , or an actually deadly poison .
“ Novichok ” is not a specific chemical .
It is a class of chemical weapon designed to be improvised in the field from common domestic or industrial precursors .
It makes some sense to use on foreign soil as you are not carrying around the actual nerve agent , and may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But it makes no sense at all in your own country , where the FSB or GRU can swan around with any deadly weapon they wish , to be making homemade nerve agents in the sink .
Why would you do that ?
Further we are expected to believe that , the Russian state having poisoned Navalny , the Russian state then allowed the airplane he was traveling in , on a domestic flight , to divert to another airport , and make an emergency landing , so he could be rushed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had poisoned Navalny at the airport before takeoff as alleged , why would they not insist the plane stick to its original flight plan and let him die on the plane ?
They would have foreseen what would happen to the plane he was on .
Next , we are supposed to believe that the Russian state , having poisoned Navalny , was not able to contrive his death in the intensive care unit of a Russian state hospital .
We are supposed to believe that the evil Russian state was able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors telling the truth about his poisoning , but the evil Russian state lacked the power to switch off the ventilator for a few minutes or slip something into his drip .
In a Russian state hospital .
Next we are supposed to believe that Putin , having poisoned Navalny with novichok , allowed him to be flown to Germany to be saved , making it certain the novichok would be discovered .
And that Putin did this because he was worried Merkel was angry , not realising she might be still more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him with novichok There are a whole stream of utterly unbelievable points there , every single one of which you have to believe to go along with the western narrative .
Personally I do not buy a single one of them , but then I am a notorious Russophile traitor .
The United States is very keen indeed to stop Germany completing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline , which will supply Russian gas to Germany on a massive scale , sufficient for about 40 % of its electricity generation .
Personally I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on both environmental and strategic grounds .
I would much rather Germany put its formidable industrial might into renewables and self-sufficiency .
But my reasons are very different from those of the USA , which is concerned about the market for liquefied gas to Europe for US produces and for the Gulf allies of the US .
Key decisions on the completion of Nord Stream 2 are now in train in Germany .

Next, we are supposed to believe that the Russian state, having poisoned Navalny, was not able to contrive his death in the intensive care unit of a Russian state hospital.

It would be the ultimate cosmic irony and yet, it’s a moral story which has been told many times and in many different ways throughout human history: will the pinnacle of humanity’s innovation eventually render humans redundant?
“Success in creating effective A.I.,” said the late Stephen Hawking, “could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization. Or the worst. We just don’t know.” Are we creating the instruments of our own destruction or exciting tools for our future survival? Once we teach a machine to learn on its own—as the programmers behind AlphaGo have done, to wondrous results—where do we draw moral and computational lines? In this program, leading specialists in A.I., neuroscience, and philosophy tackle the very questions that may define the future of humanity.
Host Tim Urban speaks with panelists Yann LeCun, Susan Schneider, Max Tegmark, and Peter Ulric Tse. Watch:

21stcenturywire--2020-09-08--The Stalinist Show Trial of Julian Assange Begins

When I first met Julian Assange more than ten years ago , I asked him why he had started WikiLeaks .
He replied : “ Transparency and accountability are moral issues that must be the essence of public life and journalism.
” I had never heard a publisher or an editor invoke morality in this way .
Assange believes that journalists are the agents of people , not power : that we , the people , have a right to know about the darkest secrets of those who claim to act in our name .
If the powerful lie to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know .
If they say one thing in private and the opposite in public , we have the right to know .
If they conspire against us , as Bush and Blair did over Iraq , then pretend to be democrats , we have the right to know .
It is this morality of purpose that so threatens the collusion of powers that want to plunge much of the world into war and wants to bury Julian alive in Trumps fascist America .
In 2008 , a top secret US State Department report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would combat this new moral threat .
A secretly-directed personal smear campaign against Julian Assange would lead to “ exposure [ and ] criminal prosecution ” .
The aim was to silence and criminalise WikiLeaks and its founder .
Page after page revealed a coming war on a single human being and on the very principle of freedom of speech and freedom of thought , and democracy .
The imperial shock troops would be those who called themselves journalists : the big hitters of the so-called mainstream , especially the “ liberals ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dissent .
And that is what happened .
I have been a reporter for more than 50 years and I have never known a smear campaign like it : the fabricated character assassination of a man who refused to join the club : who believed journalism was a service to the public , never to those above .
Assange shamed his persecutors .
He produced scoop after scoop .
He exposed the fraudulence of wars promoted by the media and the homicidal nature of America ’ s wars , the corruption of dictators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forced us in the West to look in the mirror .
He exposed the official truth-tellers in the media as collaborators : those I would call Vichy journalists .
None of these imposters believed Assange when he warned that his life was in danger : that the “ sex scandal ” in Sweden was a set up and an American hellhole was the ultimate destination .
And he was right , and repeatedly right .
The extradition hearing in London this week is the final act of an Anglo-American campaign to bury Julian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is due revenge .
The American indictment is clearly rigged , a demonstrable sham .
So far , the hearings have been reminiscent of their Stalinist equivalents during the Cold War .
Today , the land that gave us Magna Carta , Great Britain , is distinguished by the abandonment of its own sovereignty in allowing a malign foreign power to manipulate justice and by the vicious psychological torture of Julian – a form of torture , as Nils Melzer , the UN expert has pointed out , that was refined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effective in breaking its victims .
Every time I have visited Assange in Belmarsh prison , I have seen the effects of this torture .
When I last saw him , he had lost more than 10 kilos in weight ; his arms had no muscle .
Incredibly , his wicked sense of humour was intact .
As for Assange ’ s homeland , Australia has displayed only a cringeing cowardice as its government has secretly conspired against its own citizen who ought to be celebrated as a national hero .
Not for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Australian prime minister his “ deputy sheriff ” .
It is said that whatever happens to Julian Assange in the next three weeks will diminish if not destroy freedom of the press in the West .
But which press ?
The Guardian ?
The BBC , The New York Times , the Jeff Bezos Washington Post ?
No , the journalists in these organisations can breathe freely .
The Judases on the Guardian who flirted with Julian , exploited his landmark work , made their pile then betrayed him , have nothing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are needed .
Freedom of the press now rests with the honourable few : the exceptions , the dissidents on the internet who belong to no club , who are neither rich nor laden with Pulitzers , but produce fine , disobedient , moral journalism – those like Julian Assange .
Meanwhile , it is our responsibility to stand by a true journalist whose sheer courage ought to be inspiration to all of us who still believe that freedom is possible .
I salute him .

If the powerful lie to us, we have the right to know. If they say one thing in private and the opposite in public, we have the right to know. If they conspire against us, as Bush and Blair did over Iraq, then pretend to be democrats, we have the right to know.
It is this morality of purpose that so threatens the collusion of powers that want to plunge much of the world into war and wants to bury Julian alive in Trumps fascist America.
In 2008, a top secret US State Department report described in detail how the United States would combat this new moral threat. A secretly-directed personal smear campaign against Julian Assange would lead to “exposure [and] criminal prosecution”.
The aim was to silence and criminalise WikiLeaks and its founder. Page after page revealed a coming war on a single human being and on the very principle of freedom of speech and freedom of thought, and democracy.
The imperial shock troops would be those who called themselves journalists: the big hitters of the so-called mainstream, especially the “liberals” who mark and patrol the perimeters of dissent.
And that is what happened. I have been a reporter for more than 50 years and I have never known a smear campaign like it: the fabricated character assassination of a man who refused to join the club: who believed journalism was a service to the public, never to those above.
Assange shamed his persecutors. He produced scoop after scoop. He exposed the fraudulence of wars promoted by the media and the homicidal nature of America’s wars, the corruption of dictators, the evils of Guantanamo.
He forced us in the West to look in the mirror. He exposed the official truth-tellers in the media as collaborators: those I would call Vichy journalists. None of these imposters believed Assange when he warned that his life was in danger: that the “sex scandal” in Sweden was a set up and an American hellhole was the ultimate destination. And he was right, and repeatedly right.
The extradition hearing in London this week is the final act of an Anglo-American campaign to bury Julian Assange. It is not due process. It is due revenge. The American indictment is clearly rigged, a demonstrable sham. So far, the hearings have been reminiscent of their Stalinist equivalents during the Cold War.
Today, the land that gave us Magna Carta, Great Britain, is distinguished by the abandonment of its own sovereignty in allowing a malign foreign power to manipulate justice and by the vicious psychological torture of Julian – a form of torture, as Nils Melzer, the UN expert has pointed out, that was refined by the Nazis because it was most effective in breaking its victims.
Every time I have visited Assange in Belmarsh prison, I have seen the effects of this torture. When I last saw him, he had lost more than 10 kilos in weight; his arms had no muscle. Incredibly, his wicked sense of humour was intact.
As for Assange’s homeland, Australia has displayed only a cringeing cowardice as its government has secretly conspired against its own citizen who ought to be celebrated as a national hero. Not for nothing did George W. Bush anoint the Australian prime minister his “deputy sheriff”.
It is said that whatever happens to Julian Assange in the next three weeks will diminish if not destroy freedom of the press in the West. But which press? The Guardian? The BBC, The New York Times, the Jeff Bezos Washington Post?
No, the journalists in these organisations can breathe freely. The Judases on the Guardian who flirted with Julian, exploited his landmark work, made their pile then betrayed him, have nothing to fear. They are safe because they are needed.
Freedom of the press now rests with the honourable few: the exceptions, the dissidents on the internet who belong to no club, who are neither rich nor laden with Pulitzers, but produce fine, disobedient, moral journalism – those like Julian Assange.
Meanwhile, it is our responsibility to stand by a true journalist whose sheer courage ought to be inspiration to all of us who still believe that freedom is possible. I salute him.

US Cyber Command has just finished moving into its new headquarters at Fort Gordon, and already the general in charge is talking about the intention of the forces to go into offensive operations, carrying out cyberattacks.
What the Cyber Command has been doing exactly isn’t clear, but officials had presented it as an almost exclusively defensive campaign. A shift to attacks probably means that defensive operations will be less covered going forward.
The headquarters is set up to give them better information understanding on the process. Apparently that has convinced Gen. Fogarty that it will create the opportunity to find places to attack, and they don’t intend to miss that chance.
Offensive cyber attacks on the Internet are potentially problematic, as this isn’t an environment that separates civilian and military targets well. Cyber attacks involving malware also risk spillover effects on other systems, as with Stuxnet, which hit systems across the world, including American industrial computers.

Just as the the virus is disappearing, the UK government is taking the fascist plunge – imposing even more strict draconian measures that when the lockdown began back at April. Government are invoking the bizarre “Rule of 6” which says that more than six people cannot meet anywhere for fear of harsh fines, as well as harassment from newly deputised “COVID Marshalls” meant to enforce the government’s ever confusing and nonsensical social distancing laws. Also, Julian Assange’s extradition hearing continues in London, but has been suddenly stopped – due to a COVID scare in the courts. All this and much more.

From the filmmakers: “Are we facing a golden digital age, or will robots soon run the world? We need to establish ethical standards in dealing with artificial intelligence – and to answer the question: What still makes us as human beings unique? Mankind is still decades away from self-learning machines that are as intelligent as humans. Already today, chatbots, robots, digital assistants and other artificially intelligent entities exist that can emulate certain human abilities. Scientists and AI experts agree that we are in a race against time: we need to establish ethical guidelines before technology catches up with us. While AI Professor Jürgen Schmidhuber predicts artificial intelligence will be able to control robotic factories in space, the Swedish-American physicist Max Tegmark warns against a totalitarian AI surveillance state, and the philosopher Thomas Metzinger predicts a deadly AI arms race.” This film also reveals how a fundamentalist atheist worldview is being injected into the A.I. world.
