The audio in question was obviously cut for an attack on Gibson, but it’s still (mostly) accurate. The response from Howie is very telling though, especially the “why does he even care?” remark, as well as labeling the interviewer “the top jew”. And then, just as a time capsule to show the visceral jewish hatred for Mel Gibson’s film ‘The Passion’.

By Alison Weir
The US Senate and House have voted legislation to upgrade a position that the State Department had deemed was unnecessary. Once the legislation is signed into law (as is expected), the position will be elevated to ambassadorial rank.
The position, “Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating anti-Semitism,” directs a State Department office that was established by Congress in 2004 over the objections of State Department officials who said it was not needed. According to the State Department, the new office would be a “bureaucratic nuisance” that would actually hinder the Department’s ongoing work.
Much of the alleged “anti-Semitism” that the anti-Semitism envoy monitors is, in reality, actions supporting Palestinian human rights. Rather than use the normal, dictionary definition of anti-Semitism, the office employs an aberrant version based on a formulation originally devised by an Israeli official. Under this newly created definition, protests against Israel’s human rights violations and apartheid-like system are often labeled “anti-Semitic.” Many people around the world object to this new definition and how it is being used.
Upgrade will provide increased funding & clout
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reports: “A broad array of Jewish groups backed the measure. With the status of ambassador, the envoy will have easier access to the secretary of state, increased funding and the office’s recommendations are likelier to be seen overseas as having the backing of the administration of the day.”
All past and present antisemitism envoys have been strong Israel partisans, several connected to Israel lobby organizations. Hannah Rosenthal officially adopted the new, Israel-centric definition and began using it to train American diplomats.
Hannah Rosenthal, May 2017
The current envoy, Elan Carr, is a former member of AIPAC’s National Council and spent a year in Israel. His mother is an Israeli citizen, which suggests that he may have dual citizenship. Carr has been attending international conferences working to promote the Israel-centric definition around the world, most recently in Muslim countries.
A number of Jewish groups oppose Zionism both in the US and around the world – for example Canada, France, Britain, and South Africa, to name a few.)
Carr has claimed that zionism, a political ideology, is a “central tenet” of Judaism, and calls Jewish Americans and others who disagree with this claim “anti-Semitic.” Similarly, he terms the international BDS movement, which “upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity,” anti-Semitic.
While the office is only mandated to monitor events internationally, Carr has also used his office to work domestically.
Carr is reportedly producing a report that will label Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Oxfam “anti-Semitic.”

renegadetribune--2020-12-23--The Myth of Osiris

The Myth of Osiris

By Sir James George Frazer From The Golden Bough [ 1922 ] IN ANCIENT EGYPT the god whose death and resurrection were annually celebrated with alternate sorrow and joy was Osiris , the most popular of all Egyptian deities ; and there are good grounds for classing him in one of his aspects with Adonis and Attis as a personification of the great yearly vicissitudes of nature , especially of the corn .
But the immense vogue which he enjoyed for many ages induced his devoted worshippers to heap upon him the attributes and powers of many other gods ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to strip him , so to say , of his borrowed plumes and to restore them to their proper owners .
The story of Osiris is told in a connected form only by Plutarch , whose narrative has been confirmed and to some extent amplified in modern times by the evidence of the monuments .
Osiris was the offspring of an intrigue between the earth-god Seb ( Keb or Geb , as the name is sometimes transliterated ) and the sky-goddess Nut .
The Greeks identified his parents with their own deities Cronus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perceived that his wife Nut had been unfaithful to him , he declared with a curse that she should be delivered of the child in no month and no year .
But the goddess had another lover , the god Thoth or Hermes , as the Greeks called him , and he playing at draughts with the moon won from her a seventy-second part of every day , and having compounded five whole days out of these parts he added them to the Egyptian year of three hundred and sixty days .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supplementary days which the Egyptians annually inserted at the end of every year in order to establish a harmony between lunar and solar time .
On these five days , regarded as outside the year of twelve months , the curse of the sun-god did not rest , and accordingly Osiris was born on the first of them .
At his nativity a voice rang out proclaiming that the Lord of All had come into the world .
Some say that a certain Pamyles heard a voice from the temple at Thebes bidding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great king , the beneficent Osiris , was born .
But Osiris was not the only child of his mother .
On the second of the supplementary days she gave birth to the elder Horus , on the third to the god Set , whom the Greeks called Typhon , on the fourth to the goddess Isis , and on the fifth to the goddess Nephthys .
Afterwards Set married his sister Nephthys , and Osiris married his sister Isis .
Reigning as a king on earth , Osiris reclaimed the Egyptians from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taught them to worship the gods .
Before his time the Egyptians had been cannibals .
But Isis , the sister and wife of Osiris , discovered wheat and barley growing wild , and Osiris introduced the cultivation of these grains amongst his people , who forthwith abandoned cannibalism and took kindly to a corn diet .
Moreover , Osiris is said to have been the first to gather fruit from trees , to train the vine to poles , and to tread the grapes .
Eager to communicate these beneficent discoveries to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government of Egypt to his wife Isis , and travelled over the world , diffusing the blessings of civilisation and agriculture wherever he went .
In countries where a harsh climate or niggardly soil forbade the cultivation of the vine , he taught the inhabitants to console themselves for the want of wine by brewing beer from barley .
Loaded with the wealth that had been showered upon him by grateful nations , he returned to Egypt , and on account of the benefits he had conferred on mankind he was unanimously hailed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his brother Set ( whom the Greeks called Typhon ) with seventy-two others plotted against him .
Having taken the measure of his good brother ’ s body by stealth , the bad brother Typhon fashioned and highly decorated a coffer of the same size , and once when they were all drinking and making merry he brought in the coffer and jestingly promised to give it to the one whom it should fit exactly .
Well , they all tried one after the other , but it fitted none of them .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and lay down .
On that the conspirators ran and slammed the lid down on him , nailed it fast , soldered it with molten lead , and flung the coffer into the Nile .
This happened on the seventeenth day of the month Athyr , when the sun is in the sign of the Scorpion , and in the eight-and-twentieth year of the reign or the life of Osiris .
When Isis heard of it she sheared off a lock of her hair , put on a mourning attire , and wandered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body .
By the advice of the god of wisdom she took refuge in the papyrus swamps of the Delta .
Seven scorpions accompanied her in her flight .
One evening when she was weary she came to the house of a woman , who , alarmed at the sight of the scorpions , shut the door in her face .
Then one of the scorpions crept under the door and stung the child of the woman that he died .
But when Isis heard the mother ’ s lamentation , her heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hands on the child and uttered her powerful spells ; so the poison was driven out of the child and he lived .
Afterwards Isis herself gave birth to a son in the swamps .
She had conceived him while she fluttered in the form of a hawk over the corpse of her dead husband .
The infant was the younger Horus , who in his youth bore the name of Harpocrates , that is , the child Horus .
Him Buto , the goddess of the north , hid from the wrath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she could not guard him from all mishap ; for one day when Isis came to her little son ’ s hiding-place she found him stretched lifeless and rigid on the ground : a scorpion had stung him .
Then Isis prayed to the sun-god Ra for help .
The god hearkened to her and staid his bark in the sky , and sent down Thoth to teach her the spell by which she might restore her son to life .
She uttered the words of power , and straightway the poison flowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passed into him , and he lived .
Then Thoth ascended up into the sky and took his place once more in the bark of the sun , and the bright pomp passed onward jubilant .
Meantime the coffer containing the body of Osiris had floated down the river and away out to sea , till at last it drifted ashore at Byblus , on the coast of Syria .
Here a fine erica-tree shot up suddenly and enclosed the chest in its trunk .
The king of the country , admiring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cut down and made into a pillar of his house ; but he did not know that the coffer with the dead Osiris was in it .
Word of this came to Isis and she journeyed to Byblus , and sat down by the well , in humble guise , her face wet with tears .
To none would she speak till the king ’ s handmaidens came , and them she greeted kindly , and braided their hair , and breathed on them from her own divine body a wondrous perfume .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of her handmaidens ’ hair and smelt the sweet smell that emanated from them , she sent for the stranger woman and took her into her house and made her the nurse of her child .
But Isis gave the babe her finger instead of her breast to suck , and at night she began to burn all that was mortal of him away , while she herself in the likeness of a swallow fluttered round the pillar that contained her dead brother , twittering mournfully .
But the queen spied what she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw her child in flames , and thereby she hindered him from becoming immortal .
Then the goddess revealed herself and begged for the pillar of the roof , and they gave it her , and she cut the coffer out of it , and fell upon it and embraced it and lamented so loud that the younger of the king ’ s children died of fright on the spot .
But the trunk of the tree she wrapped in fine linen , and poured ointment on it , and gave it to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wood stands in a temple of Isis and is worshipped by the people of Byblus to this day .
And Isis put the coffer in a boat and took the eldest of the king ’ s children with her and sailed away .
As soon as they were alone , she opened the chest , and laying her face on the face of her brother she kissed him and wept .
But the child came behind her softly and saw what she was about , and she turned and looked at him in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bear her look and died ; but some say that it was not so , but that he fell into the sea and was drowned .
It is he whom the Egyptians sing of at their banquets under the name of Maneros .
But Isis put the coffer by and went to see her son Horus at the city of Buto , and Typhon found the coffer as he was hunting a boar one night by the light of a full moon .
And he knew the body , and rent it into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But Isis sailed up and down the marshes in a shallop made of papyrus , looking for the pieces ; and that is why when people sail in shallops made of papyrus , the crocodiles do not hurt them , for they fear or respect the goddess .
And that is the reason , too , why there are many graves of Osiris in Egypt , for she buried each limb as she found it .
But others will have it that she buried an image of him in every city , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order that Osiris might be worshipped in many places , and that if Typhon searched for the real grave he might not be able to find it .
However , the genital member of Osiris had been eaten by the fishes , so Isis made an image of it instead , and the image is used by the Egyptians at their festivals to this day .
“ Isis , ” writes the historian Diodorus Siculus , “ recovered all the parts of the body except the genitals ; and because she wished that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unknown and honoured by all who dwell in the land of Egypt , she resorted to the following device .
She moulded human images out of wax and spices , corresponding to the stature of Osiris , round each one of the parts of his body .
Then she called in the priests according to their families and took an oath of them all that they would reveal to no man the trust she was about to repose in them .
So to each of them privately she said that to them alone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and reminding them of the benefits they had received she exhorted them to bury the body in their own land and to honour Osiris as a god .
She also besought them to dedicate one of the animals of their country , whichever they chose , and to honour it in life as they had formerly honoured Osiris , and when it died to grant it obsequies like his .
And because she would encourage the priests in their own interest to bestow the aforesaid honours , she gave them a third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by them in the service and worship of the gods .
Accordingly it is said that the priests , mindful of the benefits of Osiris , desirous of gratifying the queen , and moved by the prospect of gain , carried out all the injunctions of Isis .
Wherefore to this day each of the priests imagines that Osiris is buried in his country , and they honour the beasts that were consecrated in the beginning , and when the animals die the priests renew at their burial the mourning for Osiris .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ called Apis and the other Mnevis , were dedicated to Osiris , and it was ordained that they should be worshipped as gods in common by all the Egyptians , since these animals above all others had helped the discoverers of corn in sowing the seed and procuring the universal benefits of agriculture.
” Such is the myth or legend of Osiris , as told by Greek writers and eked out by more or less fragmentary notices or allusions in native Egyptian literature .
A long inscription in the temple at Denderah has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s graves , and other texts mention the parts of his body which were treasured as holy relics in each of the sanctuaries .
Thus his heart was at Athribis , his backbone at Busiris , his neck at Letopolis , and his head at Memphis .
As often happens in such cases , some of his divine limbs were miraculously multiplied .
His head , for example , was at Abydos as well as at Memphis , and his legs , which were remarkably numerous , would have sufficed for several ordinary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Osiris was nothing to St. Denys , of whom no less than seven heads , all equally genuine , are extant .
According to native Egyptian accounts , which supplement that of Plutarch , when Isis had found the corpse of her husband Osiris , she and her sister Nephthys sat down beside it and uttered a lament which in after ages became the type of all Egyptian lamentations for the dead .
“ Come to thy house , ” they wailed .
“ Come to thy house .
O god On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who hast no foes .
O fair youth , come to thy house , that thou mayest see me .
I am thy sister , whom thou lovest ; thou shalt not part from me .
O fair boy , come to thy house… .
I see thee not , yet doth my heart yearn after thee and mine eyes desire thee .
Come to her who loves thee , who loves thee , Unnefer , thou blessed one !
Come to thy sister , come to thy wife , to thy wife @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Come to thy housewife .
I am thy sister by the same mother , thou shalt not be far from me .
Gods and men have turned their faces towards thee and weep for thee together… .
I call after thee and weep , so that my cry is heard to heaven , but thou hearest not my voice ; yet am I thy sister , whom thou didst love on earth ; thou didst love none but me , my brother !
my brother !
” This lament for the fair youth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the laments for Adonis .
The title of Unnefer or “ the Good Being ” bestowed on him marks the beneficence which tradition universally ascribed to Osiris ; it was at once his commonest title and one of his names as king .
The lamentations of the two sad sisters were not in vain .
In pity for her sorrow the sun-god Ra sent down from heaven the jackal-headed god Anubis , who , with the aid of Isis and Nephthys , of Thoth and Horus , pieced together the broken body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in linen bandages , and observed all the other rites which the Egyptians were wont to perform over the bodies of the departed .

By Sir James George Frazer
From The Golden Bough [1922]
IN ANCIENT EGYPT the god whose death and resurrection were annually celebrated with alternate sorrow and joy was Osiris, the most popular of all Egyptian deities; and there are good grounds for classing him in one of his aspects with Adonis and Attis as a personification of the great yearly vicissitudes of nature, especially of the corn. But the immense vogue which he enjoyed for many ages induced his devoted worshippers to heap upon him the attributes and powers of many other gods; so that it is not always easy to strip him, so to say, of his borrowed plumes and to restore them to their proper owners.
The story of Osiris is told in a connected form only by Plutarch, whose narrative has been confirmed and to some extent amplified in modern times by the evidence of the monuments.
Osiris was the offspring of an intrigue between the earth-god Seb (Keb or Geb, as the name is sometimes transliterated) and the sky-goddess Nut. The Greeks identified his parents with their own deities Cronus and Rhea. When the sun-god Ra perceived that his wife Nut had been unfaithful to him, he declared with a curse that she should be delivered of the child in no month and no year. But the goddess had another lover, the god Thoth or Hermes, as the Greeks called him, and he playing at draughts with the moon won from her a seventy-second part of every day, and having compounded five whole days out of these parts he added them to the Egyptian year of three hundred and sixty days. This was the mythical origin of the five supplementary days which the Egyptians annually inserted at the end of every year in order to establish a harmony between lunar and solar time. On these five days, regarded as outside the year of twelve months, the curse of the sun-god did not rest, and accordingly Osiris was born on the first of them. At his nativity a voice rang out proclaiming that the Lord of All had come into the world. Some say that a certain Pamyles heard a voice from the temple at Thebes bidding him announce with a shout that a great king, the beneficent Osiris, was born. But Osiris was not the only child of his mother. On the second of the supplementary days she gave birth to the elder Horus, on the third to the god Set, whom the Greeks called Typhon, on the fourth to the goddess Isis, and on the fifth to the goddess Nephthys. Afterwards Set married his sister Nephthys, and Osiris married his sister Isis.
Reigning as a king on earth, Osiris reclaimed the Egyptians from savagery, gave them laws, and taught them to worship the gods. Before his time the Egyptians had been cannibals. But Isis, the sister and wife of Osiris, discovered wheat and barley growing wild, and Osiris introduced the cultivation of these grains amongst his people, who forthwith abandoned cannibalism and took kindly to a corn diet. Moreover, Osiris is said to have been the first to gather fruit from trees, to train the vine to poles, and to tread the grapes. Eager to communicate these beneficent discoveries to all mankind, he committed the whole government of Egypt to his wife Isis, and travelled over the world, diffusing the blessings of civilisation and agriculture wherever he went. In countries where a harsh climate or niggardly soil forbade the cultivation of the vine, he taught the inhabitants to console themselves for the want of wine by brewing beer from barley. Loaded with the wealth that had been showered upon him by grateful nations, he returned to Egypt, and on account of the benefits he had conferred on mankind he was unanimously hailed and worshipped as a deity. But his brother Set (whom the Greeks called Typhon) with seventy-two others plotted against him. Having taken the measure of his good brother’s body by stealth, the bad brother Typhon fashioned and highly decorated a coffer of the same size, and once when they were all drinking and making merry he brought in the coffer and jestingly promised to give it to the one whom it should fit exactly. Well, they all tried one after the other, but it fitted none of them. Last of all Osiris stepped into it and lay down. On that the conspirators ran and slammed the lid down on him, nailed it fast, soldered it with molten lead, and flung the coffer into the Nile. This happened on the seventeenth day of the month Athyr, when the sun is in the sign of the Scorpion, and in the eight-and-twentieth year of the reign or the life of Osiris. When Isis heard of it she sheared off a lock of her hair, put on a mourning attire, and wandered disconsolately up and down, seeking the body.
By the advice of the god of wisdom she took refuge in the papyrus swamps of the Delta. Seven scorpions accompanied her in her flight. One evening when she was weary she came to the house of a woman, who, alarmed at the sight of the scorpions, shut the door in her face. Then one of the scorpions crept under the door and stung the child of the woman that he died. But when Isis heard the mother’s lamentation, her heart was touched, and she laid her hands on the child and uttered her powerful spells; so the poison was driven out of the child and he lived. Afterwards Isis herself gave birth to a son in the swamps. She had conceived him while she fluttered in the form of a hawk over the corpse of her dead husband. The infant was the younger Horus, who in his youth bore the name of Harpocrates, that is, the child Horus. Him Buto, the goddess of the north, hid from the wrath of his wicked uncle Set. Yet she could not guard him from all mishap; for one day when Isis came to her little son’s hiding-place she found him stretched lifeless and rigid on the ground: a scorpion had stung him. Then Isis prayed to the sun-god Ra for help. The god hearkened to her and staid his bark in the sky, and sent down Thoth to teach her the spell by which she might restore her son to life. She uttered the words of power, and straightway the poison flowed from the body of Horus, air passed into him, and he lived. Then Thoth ascended up into the sky and took his place once more in the bark of the sun, and the bright pomp passed onward jubilant.
Meantime the coffer containing the body of Osiris had floated down the river and away out to sea, till at last it drifted ashore at Byblus, on the coast of Syria. Here a fine erica-tree shot up suddenly and enclosed the chest in its trunk. The king of the country, admiring the growth of the tree, had it cut down and made into a pillar of his house; but he did not know that the coffer with the dead Osiris was in it. Word of this came to Isis and she journeyed to Byblus, and sat down by the well, in humble guise, her face wet with tears. To none would she speak till the king’s handmaidens came, and them she greeted kindly, and braided their hair, and breathed on them from her own divine body a wondrous perfume. But when the queen beheld the braids of her handmaidens’ hair and smelt the sweet smell that emanated from them, she sent for the stranger woman and took her into her house and made her the nurse of her child. But Isis gave the babe her finger instead of her breast to suck, and at night she began to burn all that was mortal of him away, while she herself in the likeness of a swallow fluttered round the pillar that contained her dead brother, twittering mournfully. But the queen spied what she was doing and shrieked out when she saw her child in flames, and thereby she hindered him from becoming immortal. Then the goddess revealed herself and begged for the pillar of the roof, and they gave it her, and she cut the coffer out of it, and fell upon it and embraced it and lamented so loud that the younger of the king’s children died of fright on the spot. But the trunk of the tree she wrapped in fine linen, and poured ointment on it, and gave it to the king and queen, and the wood stands in a temple of Isis and is worshipped by the people of Byblus to this day. And Isis put the coffer in a boat and took the eldest of the king’s children with her and sailed away. As soon as they were alone, she opened the chest, and laying her face on the face of her brother she kissed him and wept. But the child came behind her softly and saw what she was about, and she turned and looked at him in anger, and the child could not bear her look and died; but some say that it was not so, but that he fell into the sea and was drowned. It is he whom the Egyptians sing of at their banquets under the name of Maneros.
But Isis put the coffer by and went to see her son Horus at the city of Buto, and Typhon found the coffer as he was hunting a boar one night by the light of a full moon. And he knew the body, and rent it into fourteen pieces, and scattered them abroad. But Isis sailed up and down the marshes in a shallop made of papyrus, looking for the pieces; and that is why when people sail in shallops made of papyrus, the crocodiles do not hurt them, for they fear or respect the goddess. And that is the reason, too, why there are many graves of Osiris in Egypt, for she buried each limb as she found it. But others will have it that she buried an image of him in every city, pretending it was his body, in order that Osiris might be worshipped in many places, and that if Typhon searched for the real grave he might not be able to find it. However, the genital member of Osiris had been eaten by the fishes, so Isis made an image of it instead, and the image is used by the Egyptians at their festivals to this day. “Isis,” writes the historian Diodorus Siculus, “recovered all the parts of the body except the genitals; and because she wished that her husband’s grave should be unknown and honoured by all who dwell in the land of Egypt, she resorted to the following device. She moulded human images out of wax and spices, corresponding to the stature of Osiris, round each one of the parts of his body. Then she called in the priests according to their families and took an oath of them all that they would reveal to no man the trust she was about to repose in them. So to each of them privately she said that to them alone she entrusted the burial of the body, and reminding them of the benefits they had received she exhorted them to bury the body in their own land and to honour Osiris as a god. She also besought them to dedicate one of the animals of their country, whichever they chose, and to honour it in life as they had formerly honoured Osiris, and when it died to grant it obsequies like his. And because she would encourage the priests in their own interest to bestow the aforesaid honours, she gave them a third part of the land to be used by them in the service and worship of the gods. Accordingly it is said that the priests, mindful of the benefits of Osiris, desirous of gratifying the queen, and moved by the prospect of gain, carried out all the injunctions of Isis. Wherefore to this day each of the priests imagines that Osiris is buried in his country, and they honour the beasts that were consecrated in the beginning, and when the animals die the priests renew at their burial the mourning for Osiris. But the sacred bulls, the one called Apis and the other Mnevis, were dedicated to Osiris, and it was ordained that they should be worshipped as gods in common by all the Egyptians, since these animals above all others had helped the discoverers of corn in sowing the seed and procuring the universal benefits of agriculture.”
Such is the myth or legend of Osiris, as told by Greek writers and eked out by more or less fragmentary notices or allusions in native Egyptian literature. A long inscription in the temple at Denderah has preserved a list of the god’s graves, and other texts mention the parts of his body which were treasured as holy relics in each of the sanctuaries. Thus his heart was at Athribis, his backbone at Busiris, his neck at Letopolis, and his head at Memphis. As often happens in such cases, some of his divine limbs were miraculously multiplied. His head, for example, was at Abydos as well as at Memphis, and his legs, which were remarkably numerous, would have sufficed for several ordinary mortals. In this respect, however, Osiris was nothing to St. Denys, of whom no less than seven heads, all equally genuine, are extant.
According to native Egyptian accounts, which supplement that of Plutarch, when Isis had found the corpse of her husband Osiris, she and her sister Nephthys sat down beside it and uttered a lament which in after ages became the type of all Egyptian lamentations for the dead. “Come to thy house,” they wailed. “Come to thy house. O god On! come to thy house, thou who hast no foes. O fair youth, come to thy house, that thou mayest see me. I am thy sister, whom thou lovest; thou shalt not part from me. O fair boy, come to thy house… . I see thee not, yet doth my heart yearn after thee and mine eyes desire thee. Come to her who loves thee, who loves thee, Unnefer, thou blessed one! Come to thy sister, come to thy wife, to thy wife, thou whose heart stands still. Come to thy housewife. I am thy sister by the same mother, thou shalt not be far from me. Gods and men have turned their faces towards thee and weep for thee together… . I call after thee and weep, so that my cry is heard to heaven, but thou hearest not my voice; yet am I thy sister, whom thou didst love on earth; thou didst love none but me, my brother! my brother!” This lament for the fair youth cut off in his prime reminds us of the laments for Adonis. The title of Unnefer or “the Good Being” bestowed on him marks the beneficence which tradition universally ascribed to Osiris; it was at once his commonest title and one of his names as king.
The lamentations of the two sad sisters were not in vain. In pity for her sorrow the sun-god Ra sent down from heaven the jackal-headed god Anubis, who, with the aid of Isis and Nephthys, of Thoth and Horus, pieced together the broken body of the murdered god, swathed it in linen bandages, and observed all the other rites which the Egyptians were wont to perform over the bodies of the departed. Then Isis fanned the cold clay with her wings: Osiris revived, and thenceforth reigned as king over the dead in the other world. There he bore the titles of Lord of the Underworld, Lord of Eternity, Ruler of the Dead. There, too, in the great Hall of the Two Truths, assisted by forty-two assessors, one from each of the principal districts of Egypt, he presided as judge at the trial of the souls of the departed, who made their solemn confession before him, and, their heart having been weighed in the balance of justice, received the reward of virtue in a life eternal or the appropriate punishment of their sins.
In the resurrection of Osiris the Egyptians saw the pledge of a life everlasting for themselves beyond the grave. They believed that every man would live eternally in the other world if only his surviving friends did for his body what the gods had done for the body of Osiris. Hence the ceremonies observed by the Egyptians over the human dead were an exact copy of those which Anubis, Horus, and the rest had performed over the dead god. “At every burial there was enacted a representation of the divine mystery which had been performed of old over Osiris, when his son, his sisters, his friends were gathered round his mangled remains and succeeded by their spells and manipulations in converting his broken body into the first mummy, which they afterwards reanimated and furnished with the means of entering on a new individual life beyond the grave. The mummy of the deceased was Osiris; the professional female mourners were his two sisters Isis and Nephthys; Anubis, Horus, all the gods of the Osirian legend gathered about the corpse.” In this way every dead Egyptian was identified with Osiris and bore his name. From the Middle Kingdom onwards it was the regular practice to address the deceased as “Osiris So-and-So,” as if he were the god himself, and to add the standing epithet “true of speech,” because true speech was characteristic of Osiris. The thousands of inscribed and pictured tombs that have been opened in the valley of the Nile prove that the mystery of the resurrection was performed for the benefit of every dead Egyptian; as Osiris died and rose again from the dead, so all men hoped to arise like him from death to life eternal.
Thus according to what seems to have been the general native tradition Osiris was a good and beloved king of Egypt, who suffered a violent death but rose from the dead and was henceforth worshipped as a deity. In harmony with this tradition he was regularly represented by sculptors and painters in human and regal form as a dead king, swathed in the wrappings of a mummy, but wearing on his head a kingly crown and grasping in one of his hands, which were left free from the bandages, a kingly sceptre. Two cities above all others were associated with his myth or memory. One of them was Busiris in Lower Egypt, which claimed to possess his backbone; the other was Abydos in Upper Egypt, which gloried in the possession of his head. Encircled by the nimbus of the dead yet living god, Abydos, originally an obscure place, became from the end of the Old Kingdom the holiest spot in Egypt; his tomb there would seem to have been to the Egyptians what the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem is to Christians. It was the wish of every pious man that his dead body should rest in hallowed earth near the grave of the glorified Osiris. Few indeed were rich enough to enjoy this inestimable privilege; for, apart from the cost of a tomb in the sacred city, the mere transport of mummies from great distances was both difficult and expensive. Yet so eager were many to absorb in death the blessed influence which radiated from the holy sepulchre that they caused their surviving friends to convey their mortal remains to Abydos, there to tarry for a short time, and then to be brought back by river and interred in the tombs which had been made ready for them in their native land. Others had cenotaphs built or memorial tablets erected for themselves near the tomb of their dead and risen Lord, that they might share with him the bliss of a joyful resurrection.

renegadetribune--2020-12-24--If the COVID Vaccine Injures You, You Can’t Sue Anyone—Probably Not Even the Gov’t

As TFTP reported this week , in a historical move , marking the fastest ever approved vaccine in history , it took the US government less time to approve a COVID-19 vaccine than it did for them to approve $ 600 checks for starving Americans .
Naturally , this has fueled public mistrust as by the very definition of “ long-term ” studies , absolutely no long-term studies were conducted in regard to the vaccine .
Adding to this mistrust is the fact that if you are harmed by the COVID-19 vaccine , Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to blame in a U.S. court of law .
Thanks to government “ magic ” you will be out of luck if the COVID-19 vaccine injures you .
In 2007 , the US taxpayers were told that they were responsible for the negligent actions of several large banking institutions .
They were told that in order to prevent “ complete and utter chaos ” from a banking collapse they must give the banking cartels hundreds of billions of dollars to “ bail them out.
” Despite an overwhelming majority of the public opposing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bipartisan support in a matter of hours .
The public was furious after being told that they are being personally held liable for the irresponsible acts of megabanks — and there was nothing that they could do about it .
As so-called conservatives blast the welfare system for the negative incentives created by these programs , they remain conveniently silent when it ’ s huge and corrupt corporations on the receiving end of that welfare .
From banking to farming to health care — megacorporations suckle from the teat of government at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facilitate all of it .
The problem with government subsidies for irresponsible acts by businesses is that it encourages careless behavior .
One particular corporate welfare program has cost the U.S. taxpayers over four billion since its inception in 1988 .
Knowing the undesirable effects of such “ safety nets ” provided through extortion of the populace to large corporations , one should avoid such scenarios .
This is especially true in relation to the medical industry .
Imagine , if you will , the disturbing scenario that would be possible if doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The very threat of litigation for one ’ s negligence creates the incentive to act responsibly .
However , a certain sect of the medical industry gets a pass — just like the banking cartels are deemed “ too big to fail ” so are the vaccine manufacturers .
In 1988 , largely due to vaccine makers lobbying the government to alleviate their liability , The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program ( NVICP ) was established .
After an uptick in lawsuits in the late 80 ’ s , the vaccine manufacturers essentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop making vaccines unless the government took on responsibility for vaccine injury lawsuits — and NVICP did just that .
You can actually prove that you or your child were harmed from a vaccine yet the vaccine maker is completely shielded from liability .
Even if you are awarded monetary compensation through the NVICP , the taxpayers are put on the line , not the vaccine makers .
This removal of liability has created the incentive to turn out new vaccines with very little testing , as the companies don ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people , which in turn has shaped the situation that we find ourselves in today .
In the last 2 decades , we ’ ve witnessed a near 300 % increase in the number of CDC recommended vaccines .
Now , we have companies like Pfizer turning out a vaccine that was developed and approved in only eight months and they had absolutely zero incentive to devote resources to the in depth study of its safety .
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System ( VAERS ) receives around 30,000 reports annually , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , associated with disability , hospitalization , life-threatening illness or death ) according to the CDC VAERS Master Search Tool .
Since its first year in action , NVICP has paid out $ 4,132,942,676.47 with and additional $ 230,556,766.53 going to attorney ’ s fees , according to the latest report by the Health Resources and Service Administration .
The last six years alone are responsible for 30 percent of all payouts , indicating a sharp increase in the amount of petitioner ’ s awards .
Since 1988 , over 22,685 petitions have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 32 year time period , 19,403 petitions have been adjudicated , with 7,705 of those determined to be compensable , while 11,698 were dismissed .
Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $ 4.4 billion , according to HRSA .
While vaccine injuries are particularly rare , the fact remains that they happen .
Also , according to the CDC ’ s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ( ACIP ) , the number of adverse reactions is underreported .
Nevertheless , those injured by a vaccine could at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the taxpayers .
But all that has changed in 2020 with the advent of the COVID-19 vaccine .
If you are injured by it , you don ’ t get to use the NVICP because no COVID-19 vaccine is on their list of “ covered vaccines.
” Instead as CNBC reports , in February , Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act ( PREP ) .
The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unless there ’ s “ willful misconduct ” by the company .
The protection lasts until 2024 .
That means that for the next four years , these companies “ can not be sued for money damages in court ” over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against Covid .
“ When the government said , ‘ We want you to develop this four or five times faster than you normally do , ’ most likely the manufacturers said to the government , ‘ We want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us from multimillion-dollar lawsuits , ’ ” said Rogge Dunn , a Dallas labor and employment attorney .
And that ’ s exactly what the government did .
So , in instances of harm from the COVID-19 vaccine , no one is held liable because it ’ s the FDA who approved the vaccine and you can ’ t sue them .
“ You can ’ t sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug , ” said Dorit Reiss , a professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its sovereign immunity.
” There are limited exceptions , but Dunn said he doesn ’ t think they provide a viable legal path to hold the federal government responsible for a Covid vaccine injury .
Those limited exceptions are for people who experience extreme adverse reactions .
Within the PREP Act , government established the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program ( CICP ) , which provides benefits to eligible individuals who suffer serious injury from the uncovered vaccines .
However , the coverages are weak .
If you are injured so badly from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave your home , the maximum amount of money you will get it $ 50,000 per year as long as you are injured .
Even if you literally drop dead after getting the shot , the program ’ s death payout is capped at $ 370,376 .
“ This government compensation program is very hard to use , ” said Reiss .
“ The bar for compensation is very high.
” Indeed , it is extremely high .
Of the 499 claims filed , the CICP has compensated only 29 claims , totaling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overt problem with the way this is unfolding is that removing anyone or any company ’ s liability for their negligence has significant impacts on the way they will make decisions .
Just like taxpayers are held responsible for police misconduct and nothing changes , when vaccine makers pass the buck to the taxpayer — again , nothing changes .
In fact , we are already seeing adverse reactions , despite not having widespread vaccine measures in place .
According to the CDC , as of Dec. 18 , 3,150 people reported what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” after getting vaccinated .
If a corporation does not have to assess the risks associated with negligence , then that corporation will be incentivized to ultimately foster carelessness — this cause and effect of negative incentive is basic economics .
The only way a Pfizer or Moderna can be held liable is if willful misconduct can be shown to have caused injury , meaning vaccine makers have to actually be caught knowingly causing harm .
If we look at the economic properties at work with such a program , what this does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine for safety , because if they are aware of problems before the vaccine is launched , then they could potentially be held liable for knowingly causing harm .
Now , we find ourselves in a situation in which many within the government want to force Americans to take the shot to receive a vaccine that has not undergone long term testing , with absolutely no recourse if that vaccine hurts or kills you .
This is 2020 in the land of the free .

They were told that in order to prevent “complete and utter chaos” from a banking collapse they must give the banking cartels hundreds of billions of dollars to “bail them out.” Despite an overwhelming majority of the public opposing this action, it was passed with bipartisan support in a matter of hours.
The public was furious after being told that they are being personally held liable for the irresponsible acts of megabanks — and there was nothing that they could do about it.
As so-called conservatives blast the welfare system for the negative incentives created by these programs, they remain conveniently silent when it’s huge and corrupt corporations on the receiving end of that welfare. From banking to farming to health care — megacorporations suckle from the teat of government at the taxpayers expense and the politicians in D.C. facilitate all of it.
The problem with government subsidies for irresponsible acts by businesses is that it encourages careless behavior. One particular corporate welfare program has cost the U.S. taxpayers over four billion since its inception in 1988.
Knowing the undesirable effects of such “safety nets” provided through extortion of the populace to large corporations, one should avoid such scenarios. This is especially true in relation to the medical industry. Imagine, if you will, the disturbing scenario that would be possible if doctors were not held responsible for malpractice. The very threat of litigation for one’s negligence creates the incentive to act responsibly.
However, a certain sect of the medical industry gets a pass — just like the banking cartels are deemed “too big to fail” so are the vaccine manufacturers. In 1988, largely due to vaccine makers lobbying the government to alleviate their liability, The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was established.
After an uptick in lawsuits in the late 80’s, the vaccine manufacturers essentially held the government hostage and threatened to stop making vaccines unless the government took on responsibility for vaccine injury lawsuits — and NVICP did just that.
You can actually prove that you or your child were harmed from a vaccine yet the vaccine maker is completely shielded from liability. Even if you are awarded monetary compensation through the NVICP, the taxpayers are put on the line, not the vaccine makers. This removal of liability has created the incentive to turn out new vaccines with very little testing, as the companies don’t have to worry about financial hardships for injuring people, which in turn has shaped the situation that we find ourselves in today. In the last 2 decades, we’ve witnessed a near 300% increase in the number of CDC recommended vaccines.
Now, we have companies like Pfizer turning out a vaccine that was developed and approved in only eight months and they had absolutely zero incentive to devote resources to the in depth study of its safety.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) receives around 30,000 reports annually, with 13% classified as serious (e.g., associated with disability, hospitalization, life-threatening illness or death) according to the CDC VAERS Master Search Tool.
Since its first year in action, NVICP has paid out $4,132,942,676.47 with and additional $230,556,766.53 going to attorney’s fees, according to the latest report by the Health Resources and Service Administration. The last six years alone are responsible for 30 percent of all payouts, indicating a sharp increase in the amount of petitioner’s awards.
Since 1988, over 22,685 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 32 year time period, 19,403 petitions have been adjudicated, with 7,705 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,698 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.4 billion, according to HRSA.
While vaccine injuries are particularly rare, the fact remains that they happen. Also, according to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the number of adverse reactions is underreported.
“VAERS data are limited by underreporting and unknown sensitivity of the reporting system, making it difficult to compare adverse event rates following vaccination reported to VAERS with those from complications following natural disease.”
Nevertheless, those injured by a vaccine could at least seek some compensation, albeit from the taxpayers. But all that has changed in 2020 with the advent of the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are injured by it, you don’t get to use the NVICP because no COVID-19 vaccine is on their list of “covered vaccines.”
Instead as CNBC reports, in February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP). The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines and treatments, unless there’s “willful misconduct” by the company. The protection lasts until 2024.
That means that for the next four years, these companies “cannot be sued for money damages in court” over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against Covid.
“When the government said, ‘We want you to develop this four or five times faster than you normally do,’ most likely the manufacturers said to the government, ‘We want you, the government, to protect us from multimillion-dollar lawsuits,’” said Rogge Dunn, a Dallas labor and employment attorney.
And that’s exactly what the government did. So, in instances of harm from the COVID-19 vaccine, no one is held liable because it’s the FDA who approved the vaccine and you can’t sue them.
“You can’t sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug,” said Dorit Reiss, a professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law. “That’s part of its sovereign immunity.”
There are limited exceptions, but Dunn said he doesn’t think they provide a viable legal path to hold the federal government responsible for a Covid vaccine injury.
Those limited exceptions are for people who experience extreme adverse reactions.
Within the PREP Act, government established the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), which provides benefits to eligible individuals who suffer serious injury from the uncovered vaccines. However, the coverages are weak. If you are injured so badly from the vaccine that you can’t even leave your home, the maximum amount of money you will get it $50,000 per year as long as you are injured.
Even if you literally drop dead after getting the shot, the program’s death payout is capped at $370,376.
“This government compensation program is very hard to use,” said Reiss. “The bar for compensation is very high.”
Indeed, it is extremely high. Of the 499 claims filed, the CICP has compensated only 29 claims, totaling more than $6 million.
The overt problem with the way this is unfolding is that removing anyone or any company’s liability for their negligence has significant impacts on the way they will make decisions. Just like taxpayers are held responsible for police misconduct and nothing changes, when vaccine makers pass the buck to the taxpayer — again, nothing changes.
In fact, we are already seeing adverse reactions, despite not having widespread vaccine measures in place.
According to the CDC, as of Dec. 18, 3,150 people reported what the CDC terms “Health Impact Events” after getting vaccinated.
The definition of a Health Impact Event is: “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.”
If a corporation does not have to assess the risks associated with negligence, then that corporation will be incentivized to ultimately foster carelessness — this cause and effect of negative incentive is basic economics.
The only way a Pfizer or Moderna can be held liable is if willful misconduct can be shown to have caused injury, meaning vaccine makers have to actually be caught knowingly causing harm.
If we look at the economic properties at work with such a program, what this does is provides negative incentive to test a vaccine for safety, because if they are aware of problems before the vaccine is launched, then they could potentially be held liable for knowingly causing harm.
Now, we find ourselves in a situation in which many within the government want to force Americans to take the shot to receive a vaccine that has not undergone long term testing, with absolutely no recourse if that vaccine hurts or kills you. This is 2020 in the land of the free.

From Festivals of Western Europe [1958]
The period between Luciadagen and Julafton is devoted largely to baking Christmas cakes, cookies, and breads and making the unique decorations which beautify every Swedish home at the holiday season. There are, for example, intricate paper cut-outs to put on the walls; festoons, stars, wooden toys, and straw animals–the Julbockar, or Yule goats, and the Julgrisar, or Yule pigs–to hang on the Christmas tree. The straw animals, which are found throughout Sweden, are intimately related to ancient Norse mythology; for the modern figures originated in legends of the sacred animals of the gods–the goat of Thor, the thunder god, and the pig of Frey, god of the sun.
Before Christmas Eve, all the presents are wrapped and seated with red sealing wax. Each offering is accompanied by an appropriate jingle which generally tells something about the article or its use. These verses are read aloud when the gifts are distributed, adding much merriment to the occasion.
A few days before Christmas the men of the family go to the woods with a sledge on which to bring back a fine straight hemlock or spruce tree and branches of juniper and pine. Soon the house assumes a festive air. The tree, set up behind closed doors, is decorated with homemade candles, with shining red apples, nuts, gingerbread figures, the straw goats and pigs and all the other delightful trifles various members of the family have made. The national flag often holds place of honor on top of the tree, while smaller flags decorate the branches.
On Christmas Eve the family gathers at six o’clock around the kitchen stove for the time-honored ceremonial of Dopp i grytan, or “Dipping in the Kettle.” The room is festive with paper garlands and candles in three branched candlesticks. The freshly-scrubbed pine floor is strewn either with straw–in memory of the manger birth–or with fragrant juniper twigs. On the stove there is a big kettle of appetizing broth containing sausages, ham, pork, and other hearty meats.
Each person, including members of the family, guests, and household servants, sticks a slice of vortbrod, that is wort bread, on a fork, dips it into the pot and eats it with a slice of pork or a bit of sausage. Traditionally this bread is eaten “for luck” before the Christmas feast begins.
Then toasts are drunk–sometimes in glogg, the concoction of wine, rum and spices, which is lighted and poured over lumps of sugar, sometimes in another type of beverage. After laughter and jests and the exchange of wishes for a God Jul, the company sits down in the dining room to the meal which begins with an elaborate array of smorgasbord, or appetizers, followed by lutfisk, served with boiled potatoes or with green peas and drawn butter. The preparation of this delicacy, which requires fully three weeks of soaking, cleaning, and scrubbing, is the most important item on the holiday menu. Lingon berries stewed in sugar, the Christmas ham, roast goose with prune stuffing and all kinds of preserves are among the many rich foods that may be served on this occasion.
Dessert consists of risgrynsgrot, or the rich rice pudding which also is eaten on New Year’s Day. The grot is cooked with milk and sugar and is decorated on top with intricate designs in cinnamon. Inside a single almond is hidden. Whoever gets the almond will be first to wed during the coming year. According to custom each guest should make an original jingle before taking his portion of grot.
At last the long feast ends. The moment comes when doors are thrown open and the tree is revealed in all its glory. The father of the family sits beside the twinkling branches and reads the story of the Manger Birth. Then follow old carols in which everyone joins.
Suddenly there is a knock at the door. The children jump up excitedly to admit Jultomten, the Swedish Santa Claus, who arrives by sleigh, drawn not by reindeer but by Julbockar, the goats of the ancient thunder god. Jultomten (usually impersonated by an uncle, brother or other male member of the family) wears a long white beard, red tunic and trousers and carries over his shoulder a sack bulging with sweets and presents for “good” boys and girls.
Originally Jultomten, the little white-bearded, red-capped gnome who is so old nobody remembers when he first appeared, belonged to rural Sweden; but of late years he has found his way to the cities where he now seems equally at home. Traditionally Jultomten was guardian of the farm, where he dwelt in the hayloft and kept a sharp eye to all that went on. If cows were to give milk, horses to foal and crops to prosper, Jultomten had to be treated with respect–especially at Christmas time, when he always received a big bowl of risgrynsgrot as his holiday treat.
After the gifts Jultomten brings have been distributed and enjoyed, the Christmas Eve ceremonies end with the gay dance song about the tree:
Now ’tis Yuletide again, and Yuletide will last, methinks,
‘Till Easter; no, this cannot be, as ‘twixt the two comes Lent!

renegadetribune--2020-12-24--Congress Crams Language to Criminalize Sharing Memes in 5,500 Page “COVID Relief” Bill

( CD ) Lawmakers in Congress are under fire from digital rights campaigners for embedding three controversial changes to online copyright and trademark laws into the must-pass $ 2.3 trillion legislative package—which includes a $ 1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill and a $ 900 billion Covid-19 relief bill—that could receive floor votes in the House and Senate as early as Monday evening .
The punitive provisions crammed into the enormous bill ( pdf ) , warned Evan Greer of the digital rights group Fight for the Future , “ threaten ordinary Internet users with up to $ 30,000 in fines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downloading an image and re-uploading it… [ or ] sharing memes.
” While the citizenry had almost no time to process the actual contents of the 5,593 page legislative text , Greer said Monday afternoon that the CASE Act , Felony Streaming Act , and Trademark Modernization Act “ are in fact included in the must-pass omnibus spending bill.
” As Mike Masnick explained in a piece at TechDirt on Monday : The CASE Act will supercharge copyright trolling exactly at a time when we need to fix the law to have less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( which was only just revealed last week with no debate or discussion ) includes provisions that are so confusing and vague no one is sure if it makes sites like Twitch into felons .
“ The fact that these are getting added to the must-pass government funding bill is just bad government , ” Masnick added .
“ And congressional leadership should hear about this.
” According to Fight for the Future , “ More than 20,000 people had called on House and Senate leadership to remove these dangerous and unnecessary provisions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congress chose to include them anyway .
“ This is atrocious , ” Greer said in her statement .
“ We ’ re facing a massive eviction crisis and millions are unemployed due to the pandemic , but congressional leaders could only muster $ 600 stimulus checks for Covid relief.
” And yet , lawmakers “ managed to cram in handouts for content companies like Disney ?
” Greer continued .
“ The CASE Act is a terribly written law that will threaten ordinary Internet users with huge fines for everyday online activity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ included these provisions in a must-pass spending bill.
” Explaining why the inclusion of these provisions is dangerous , Masnick said “ there ’ s a reason [ why ] copyright is generally controversial.
” Even “ small changes ” threaten a “ massive impact on… the public ’ s ability to express themselves , ” he wrote .
The CASE Act would create a quasi-judicial tribunal of “ Copyright Claims Officers ” who would work to resolve infringement claims .
As outlined in the bill , copyright holders could be awarded up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creative work being shared online .
Proponents of the CASE Act , like the Copyright Alliance , argue that the bill would make it easier for independent artists to bring about copyright claims without having to endure the lengthy and expensive federal courts process .
Still , critics of the bill , like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Fight for the Future , argue that the CASE Act could fine ordinary internet users for engaging in everyday online behavior like sharing memes .
Greer echoed Masnick , saying that “ we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to copyright law have profound implications for online freedom of expression and human rights.
” “ Frivolous copyright takedowns are already a huge problem for the next generation of artists and creators , streamers , gamers , and activists , ” Greer noted , advocating instead for what she called “ a fair system that protects human rights and ensures artists are fairly compensated.
” Considering how artists and musicians “ are suffering immensely during the pandemic , ” Greer added , “ Congress should be working quickly to provide immediate relief , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ budget bills to appease special interests.
” The way Congress jammed through these changes “ is a total and complete travesty , ” said Masnick .
“ People should be mad about this and should hold the congressional leadership of both parties responsible.

Calling on “House and Senate leadership to remove the copyright provisions from the continuing resolution and move them through regular order so we can have transparent and open debate about the right balance,” Greer said that “these types of decisions should never be made in closed-door negotiations between politicians and industry or rushed through as part of some must-pass spending package.”
