“Unrestricted Bioweapon”: Chinese Whistleblower Releases Second Paper Alleging “Large-Scale, Organized Scientific Fraud”

Li-Meng Yan , A Chinese virologist ( MD , PhD ) who worked in a WHO reference lab and fled her position at the University of Hong Kong , has published a second co-authored report , alleging that SARS-CoV-2 , the virus which causes COVID-19 , was not only created in a Wuhan lab , it ’ s an “ unrestricted bioweapon ” which was intentionally released .
“ We used biological evidence and in-depth analyses to show that SARS-CoV-2 must be a laboratory product , which was created by using a template virus ( ZC45/ZXC21 ) owned by military @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) government , ” reads the paper .
SARS-CoV2 is a product of laboratory modification , which can be created in approximately six months using a template virus owned by a laboratory of the People ’ s Liberation Army ( PLA ) .
The fact that data fabrications were used to cover up the true origin of SARS-CoV 2 further implicates that the laboratory modification here is beyond simple gain-of-function research .
The scale and the coordinated nature of this scientific fraud signifies the degree of corruption in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health .
As a result of such corruption , damages have been made both tot he reputation of the scientific community and to the well-being of the global community .
The report also claims that the RaTG13 virus which Wuhan “ Batwoman ” Dr. Zhengli Shi and colleagues say they obtained in bat feces in 2013 ( and which is 96 % identical to SARS-CoV-2 ) , is fraudulent and also man made .
The report goes on to say that the RaTG13 genome could easily be fabricated , and that “ an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case is equivalent to the existence of an assembled viral genomic sequence and its associated sequencing reads , is not a definitive proof that this viral genome is correct or real , ” and that the process for sequencing DNA itself “ leaves room for potential fraud.
” If one intends to fabricate an RNA viral genome on GenBank , he or she could do so by following these steps : create its genomic sequence on a computer , have segments of the genome synthesized based on the sequence , amplify each DNA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PCR products ( may also be mixed with genetic material derived from the alleged host of the virus to mimic an authentic sequencing sample ) for sequencing.The resulted raw sequencing reads would be used , together with the created genomic sequence , for establishing an entry on GenBank .
Once accomplished , this entry would be accepted as the evidence for the natural existence of the corresponding virus .
Clearly , a viral genomic sequence and its GenBank entry can be fabricated if well-planned .
RaTG13 has ‘ multiple abnormal features , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starters , it ’ s claimed that it was a fecal sample – yet just 1.7 % of the raw sequencing reads are bacterial , when fecal swab samples are typically 70-90 % bacterial .
Second , the genomic sequence for RaTG13 contains segments of non-bat origin , including fox , flying fox , squirrels and other animals .
What ’ s more , China destroyed all evidence of RaTG13 .
“ No independent verification of the RaTG13 sequence seems possible because , according to Dr. Zhengli Shi , the raw sample has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever isolated or recovered .
Notably , this information was known to a core circle of virologists early on and apparently accepted by them.
” Meanwhile , another coronavirus which shares a ‘ 100 % nucleotide sequence identity with RaTG13 ’ – RaBtCoV/4991 – on a ‘ short , 440-bp RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene segment.
’ RaBtCoV/4991 was allegedly discovered by Shi and colleagues in 2012 and published in 2016 , and colleagues have been asking if it ’ s the same virus as RaTG13 .
First , it makes no sense that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wouldn ’ t have conducted whole genome sequencing of RaBtCoV/4991 before 2020 , as it was suspected in the deaths of miners who suffered from severe pneumonia after clearing out bat droppings in a Chinese mineshaft .
“ Clearly , the perceivable motivation of the Shi group to study this RaBtCoV/4991 virus and the fact that no genome sequencing of it was done for a period of seven years ( 2013-2020 ) are hard to reconcile and explain.
” Meanwhile , genomic sequencing of RaTG13 was conducted in 2018 .
Second , why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 when it ’ s got a Spike protein that can bind with human ACE2 receptors ?
Third , there has been no follow-up work on RaTG13 by Shi ’ s group .
Yan ’ s group closely examined the sequences of specific spike proteins for relevant viruses – specifically comparing mutations , and found that the spike genes of SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 do not contain evidence of natural evolution when compared to other coronaviruses which naturally evolved .
It is highly likely that the sequence of the RaTG13 genome was fabricated by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an overall 96.2 % sequence identity .
During this process , much editing must have been done for the RBM region of the S1/spike because the encoded RBM determines the interaction with ACE2 and therefore would be heavily scrutinized by others .
The paper concludes : All fabricated coronaviruses share a 100 % amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with ZC45 and ZXC21 .
Evidence herein clearly indicates that the novel coronaviruses recently published by the CCP-controlled laboratories are all fraudulent and do not exist in nature .
One final proof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of these viruses share a 100 % amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21 , which , as revealed in our earlier report1 , should be the template/backbone used for the creation of SARS-CoV-2 .
Despite its conserved function in the viral replication cycle , the E protein is tolerant and permissive of amino acid mutations .
It is therefore impossible for the amino acid sequence of the E protein to remain unchanged when the virus has allegedly crossed species barrier multiple times ( between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pangolins , and from pangolins to humans ) .
The 100 % identity observed here , therefore , further proves that the sequences of these recently published novel coronaviruses have been fabricated .
Yan notes that while it ’ s not easy for the public to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon due to its relatively low lethality , it indeed meets the criteria of a bioweapon .
In 2005 , Dr. Yang specified the criteria for a pathogen to qualify as a bioweapon : • It is significantly virulent and can cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highly contagious and transmits easily , often through respiratory routes in the form of aerosols .
The most dangerous scenario would be that it allows human-to-human transmission .
• It is relatively resistant to environmental changes , can sustain transportation , and is capable of supporting targeted release .
All of the above have been met bySARS-CoV-2 : it has taken hundreds of thousands lives , led to numerous hospitalizations , and left many with sequela and various complications ; it spreads easily by contact , droplets , and aerosols via respiratory routes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to human , the latter of which was initially covered up by the CCP government and the WHO and was first revealed by Dr. Li-Meng Yan on January 19th , 2020 on Lude Press ; it is temperature-insensitive ( unlike seasonal flu ) and remains viable for a long period of time on many surfaces and at 4°C ( e.g .
the ice/water mixture ) .
What ’ s more , COVID-19 spreads asymptomatically , which “ renders the control of SARS-CoV-2 extremely challenging.
” “ In addition , the transmissibility , morbidity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in panic in the global community , disruption of social orders , and decimation of the world ’ s economy .
The range and destructive power of SARS-CoV-2 are both unprecedented.
” “ Clearly , SARS-CoV-2 not only meets but also surpasses the standards of a traditional bioweapon .
Therefore , it should be defined as an Unrestricted Bioweapon .
”

Li-Meng Yan, A Chinese virologist (MD, PhD) who worked in a WHO reference lab and fled her position at the University of Hong Kong, has published a second co-authored report, alleging that SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, was not only created in a Wuhan lab, it’s an “unrestricted bioweapon” which was intentionally released.
“We used biological evidence and in-depth analyses to show that SARS-CoV-2 must be a laboratory product, which was created by using a template virus (ZC45/ZXC21) owned by military research laboratories under the control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government,” reads the paper.
SARS-CoV2 is a product of laboratory modification, which can be created in approximately six months using a template virus owned by a laboratory of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The fact that data fabrications were used to cover up the true origin of SARS-CoV 2 further implicates that the laboratory modification here is beyond simple gain-of-function research. The scale and the coordinated nature of this scientific fraud signifies the degree of corruption in the fields of academic research and public health. As a result of such corruption, damages have been made both tot he reputation of the scientific community and to the well-being of the global community.
The report also claims that the RaTG13 virus which Wuhan “Batwoman” Dr. Zhengli Shi and colleagues say they obtained in bat feces in 2013 (and which is 96% identical to SARS-CoV-2), is fraudulent and also man made.
Since its publication, the RaTG13 virus has served as the founding evidence for the theory that SARS-CoV-2 must have a natural origin. However, no live virus or an intact genome of RaTG13 have ever been isolated or recovered. Therefore, the only proof for the “existence” of RaTG13 in nature is its genomic sequence published on GenBank.
The report goes on to say that the RaTG13 genome could easily be fabricated, and that “an entry on GenBank, which in this case is equivalent to the existence of an assembled viral genomic sequence and its associated sequencing reads, is not a definitive proof that this viral genome is correct or real,” and that the process for sequencing DNA itself “leaves room for potential fraud.”
If one intends to fabricate an RNA viral genome on GenBank, he or she could do so by following these steps: create its genomic sequence on a computer, have segments of the genome synthesized based on the sequence, amplify each DNA segment through PCR, and then send the PCR products (may also be mixed with genetic material derived from the alleged host of the virus to mimic an authentic sequencing sample) for sequencing.The resulted raw sequencing reads would be used, together with the created genomic sequence, for establishing an entry on GenBank. Once accomplished, this entry would be accepted as the evidence for the natural existence of the corresponding virus. Clearly, a viral genomic sequence and its GenBank entry can be fabricated if well-planned.
RaTG13 has ‘multiple abnormal features,’ according to the report. For starters, it’s claimed that it was a fecal sample – yet just 1.7% of the raw sequencing reads are bacterial, when fecal swab samples are typically 70-90% bacterial. Second, the genomic sequence for RaTG13 contains segments of non-bat origin, including fox, flying fox, squirrels and other animals.
What’s more, China destroyed all evidence of RaTG13. “No independent verification of the RaTG13 sequence seems possible because, according to Dr. Zhengli Shi,the raw sample has been exhausted and no live virus was ever isolated or recovered. Notably, this information was known to a core circle of virologists early on and apparently accepted by them.”
Meanwhile, another coronavirus which shares a ‘100% nucleotide sequence identity with RaTG13’ – RaBtCoV/4991 – on a ‘short, 440-bp RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene segment.’
RaBtCoV/4991 was allegedly discovered by Shi and colleagues in 2012 and published in 2016, and colleagues have been asking if it’s the same virus as RaTG13.
Given the 100% identity on this short gene segment between RaBtCoV/4991 and RaTG13,the field has demanded clarification of whether or not these two names refer to the same virus. However,Dr. Shi did not respond to the requestor address this question for months. The answer finally came from Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance and long-term collaborator of Shi, who claimed that RaBtCoV/4991 was RaTG1327.
Three suspicious facts
First, it makes no sense that ‘Batwoman’ Shi and her team wouldn’t have conducted whole genome sequencing of RaBtCoV/4991 before 2020, as it was suspected in the deaths of miners who suffered from severe pneumonia after clearing out bat droppings in a Chinese mineshaft.
Given the Shi group’s consistent interests in studying SARS-like bat coronaviruses and the fact that RaBtCoV/4991 is a SARS-like coronavirus with a possible connection to the deaths of the miners, it is highly unlikely that the Shi group would be content with sequencing only a 440-bp segment of RdRpand not pursue the sequencing of the receptor-binding motif (RBM)-encoding region of the spike gene. In fact, sequencing of the spike gene is routinely attempted by the Shi group once the presence of a SARS-like bat coronavirus is confirmed by the sequencing of the 440-bp RdRpsegment25,32, although the success of such efforts is often hindered by the poor quality of the sample.
“Clearly, the perceivable motivation of the Shi group to study this RaBtCoV/4991 virus and the fact that no genome sequencing of it was done for a period of seven years (2013-2020) are hard to reconcile and explain.”
Meanwhile, genomic sequencing of RaTG13 was conducted in 2018.
Second, why did Shi delay publication on RaTG13 until 2020 when it’s got a Spike protein that can bind with human ACE2 receptors?
…if the genomic sequence of RaTG13 had been available since 2018, it is unlikely that this virus, which has a possible connection to miners’ deaths in 2012 and has an alarming SARS-like RBM, would be shelfed for two years without publication. Consistent with this analysis, a recent study indeed proved that the RBD of RaTG13(produced via gene synthesis based on its published sequence) was capable of binding hACE2
Third, there has been no follow-up work on RaTG13 by Shi’s group.
Upon obtaining the genomic sequence of a SARS-like bat coronavirus, the Shi group routinely investigate whether or not the virus is capable of infecting human cells. This pattern of research activities has been shown repeatedly. However, such a pattern is not seen here despite that RaTG13 has an interesting RBM and is allegedly the closest match evolutionarily to SARS-CoV-2
Direct genetic evidence proving RaTG13 is fraudulent
Yan’s group closely examined the sequences of specific spike proteins for relevant viruses – specifically comparing mutations, and found that the spike genes of SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 do not contain evidence of natural evolution when compared to other coronaviruses which naturally evolved.
A logical interpretation of this observation is that SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 could not relate to each other through natural evolution and at least one must be artificial.If one is a product of natural evolution, then the other one must be not. It is also possible that neither of them exists naturally. If RaTG13 is a real virus that truly exists in nature, then SARS-CoV-2 must be artificial.
More:
It is highly likely that the sequence of the RaTG13 genome was fabricated by lightly modifying the SARS-CoV-2 sequence to achieve an overall 96.2% sequence identity. During this process, much editing must have been done for the RBM region of the S1/spike because the encoded RBM determines the interaction with ACE2 and therefore would be heavily scrutinized by others.
The paper concludes: All fabricated coronaviruses share a 100% amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with ZC45 and ZXC21.
Evidence herein clearly indicates that the novel coronaviruses recently published by the CCP-controlled laboratories are all fraudulent and do not exist in nature. One final proof of this conclusion is the fact that all of these viruses share a 100% amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21, which, as revealed in our earlier report1, should be the template/backbone used for the creation of SARS-CoV-2. Despite its conserved function in the viral replication cycle, the E protein is tolerant and permissive of amino acid mutations. It is therefore impossible for the amino acid sequence of the E protein to remain unchanged when the virus has allegedly crossed species barrier multiple times (between different bat species, from bats to pangolins, and from pangolins to humans). The 100% identity observed here, therefore, further proves that the sequences of these recently published novel coronaviruses have been fabricated .
Unrestricted bioweapon ?
Yan notes that while it’s not easy for the public to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon due to its relatively low lethality, it indeed meets the criteria of a bioweapon.
In 2005, Dr. Yang specified the criteria for a pathogen to qualify as a bioweapon: It is significantly virulent and can cause large scale casualty. It is highly contagious and transmits easily, often through respiratory routes in the form of aerosols. The most dangerous scenario would be that it allows human-to-human transmission. It is relatively resistant to environmental changes, can sustain transportation, and is capable of supporting targeted release. All of the above have been met bySARS-CoV-2: it has taken hundreds of thousands lives, led to numerous hospitalizations, and left many with sequela and various complications; it spreads easily by contact, droplets, and aerosols via respiratory routes and is capable of transmitting from human to human, the latter of which was initially covered up by the CCP government and the WHO and was first revealed by Dr. Li-Meng Yan on January 19th, 2020 on Lude Press; it is temperature-insensitive (unlike seasonal flu) and remains viable for a long period of time on many surfaces and at 4°C (e.g. the ice/water mixture).
What’s more, COVID-19 spreads asymptomatically, which “renders the control of SARS-CoV-2 extremely challenging.”
“In addition, the transmissibility, morbidity, and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 also resulted in panic in the global community, disruption of social orders, and decimation of the world’s economy. The range and destructive power of SARS-CoV-2 are both unprecedented.”
“Clearly,SARS-CoV-2 not only meets but also surpasses the standards of a traditional bioweapon. Therefore, it should be defined as an Unrestricted Bioweapon.”

wearechange--2020-10-09--Poll Which Correctly Called 2016 Election Sees Another “Shocking” Outcome in November

With the help of Paul Hoffmeister , chief economist at Camelot Portfolios With Election Day less than a month away , we look at which party will likely control the White House , Senate and House in 2020… and what to watch for on Election Night .
Currently , the major polls give former Vice President Biden more than a 9-point lead nationally against President Trump – according to RealClearPolitics National Average .
And the Predictit markets imply a 67 % probability of Biden winning on November 3rd .
Additionally , those markets suggest that Democrats will win both the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 88 % probabilities , respectively ) .
Quite simply , it appears that a Blue Wave is fast approaching , something which the market has not only priced in , but has successfully digested as a favorable narrative for risk assets .
It would be easy to simply close the books and call the November contest over .
But , of course , the major polls were all wrong in 2016 ; notably about the presidential race .
In the following Election Review from Camelot Portfolios , we look at what some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are seeing today .
“ Shocking ” , their polling suggests that President Trump will be re-elected , either narrowly or by a large margin .
Therefore , as Camelot notes , “ capital allocators today can not easily assume next month ’ s results.
” It ’ s very possible that Trump will win Florida , North Carolina and Arizona .
If so , a win in Pennsylvania or Michigan will likely put him over the top in the electoral college .
And speaking of “ shocking ” , Camelot notes that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are concerned , it also appears that Republicans will keep control of the Senate , especially if Trump has a strong night .
On the other hand , the House is highly likely to remain in Democratic control .
First , a few quick notes , on what happened over the past four years , and a look at the “ Market Narrative ” of Trump ’ s presidency prior to Covid-19 : • In 2017 , the S & P 500 rallied in a relatively consistent fashion ; due primarily , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ major deregulation and tax cuts .
• Contrary to warnings that a Trump presidency would lead to a market crash , most notably by Paul Krugman , the S & P has returned 57.7 % since President Trump ’ s election in 2016 ( November 7 , 2016 through October 6 , 2020 ) – not including dividends .
Fast forward to today , when according to online betting site PredictIt.org , the probability of Democrats winning White House 63 % , win Senate 66 % , win House 88 % ( here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the contracts are relatively illiquid , is there one or more major players who have “ cornered ” the PredictIt market and are swaying public opinion with relatively low sums of cash ) .
Next , we look at the Electoral College Map after the 2016 election : • In 2016 , Secretary of State Clinton received 65,853514 votes , or 48.2 % of the popular vote .
Donald Trump received 62,984,828 votes , or 46.1 % .
( source : Federal Election Commission ) • In terms of the electoral college @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with 306 votes versus 232 for Clinton .
( source : Business Insider ) • Trump won the key swing states in the Rust Belt : PA , OH , MI and WI .
• And , Trump won the key swing states of FL , NC and AZ .
This outcome was not predicted by virtually any pollster in 2016 , when most of the major polls were wrong , but not all : Among these major polls , Clinton led Trump by 3.2 % during the week prior to Election Day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and attempted to adjust for ‘ shy voters ’ .
Trafalgar Group was named best polling firm of 2016 presidential race .
It was one of few pollsters to predict Trump would win PA and MI ( sources : Trafalgar Group and RealClearPolitics ) and also Trump ’ s victory .
This is what Politico wrote in its post-election mea culpa about the Trafalgar Group : The signs of a polling disaster were all there , but almost no one besides Donald Trump was paying attention .
There were surveys showing Trump winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news outlets , dismissed as partisan polls conducted using automated phone technology that eschews calling cell-phone users .
the state polling this year was sparse , especially in the closing days .
Of the 11 states POLITICO identified as Electoral College battlegrounds earlier this year , four of them didn ’ t see a nonpartisan , public , live-interview poll for the final week of the campaign : Colorado , Nevada , Ohio and Wisconsin .
Taken together , it was a recipe for an epic polling failure .
Few , it seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trafalgar Group – a Georgia-based consulting firm that , on its website , celebrates the time RealClearPolitics picked up one of its Florida primary polls – showing Trump ahead .
The group ’ s Pennsylvania poll was the only one of dozens since late July to show the GOP nominee in the lead there – but it was also the only poll conducted into this past weekend , as voters made their final choices .
The Trafalgar Group was somewhat prolific on Monday , the day before the election , releasing surveys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ points ) , Michigan ( Trump ahead by 2 points ) and Georgia ( Trump ahead by 7 points ) .
At a time when the polling industry was crushed by its collectively incompetence , the praise for Trafalgar continued : The secret to Trafalgar ’ s success is that it best adjusted its polling to include ‘ shy Trump voters ’ and the votes missed in other polls .
Democracy Institute also correctly predicted Trump ’ s victory in 2016 , as well as Brexit .
Which brings us to today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely firewall states for Trump and Biden : Which brings us to the punchline , and what Trafalgar sees as the outcome on Nov 3 .
In a nutshell , based on Trafalgar swing state polls , Trumps wins with 275 electoral votes : What about the the “ winner ” in the 2016 polling fiasco , the Democracy Institute , and its Latest Poll for September : • Only asks likely voters , and asks about so-called ‘ shy votes ’ .
• Trump ’ s swing state leads would give him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• 77 % of Trump voters would not admit to friends and family .
• Amy Coney Barrett nomination has little impact on approximately 8 in 10 voters .
• Law and order is top issue ( 32 % ) .

• Voters trust Trump more on economy than Biden : 60 % to 40 % , respectively But wait , there ’ s more shocks , because according to Camelot , Republicans are also likely to retain their control of the Senate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 47 Democrats and Independents .
• 23 seats are held by Republicans ; 12 held by Democrats .
• Republicans at disadvantage ; need to protect more seats .

• Assuming Trump polling in these four states will determine the Senate race : Republicans likely to pick up AL , Democrats likely to pick up CO and Maine – for net gain of one seat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trafalgar polling shows Republican in Michigan ( John James ) with slight lead ; and Democrat in North Carolina with slight lead .
• Likely November : Republicans keep Senate control with 52 seats .
Finally , in what may be the worst possible news for markets which are now convinced a blue sweep is inevitable , Camelot says that Democrats will continue their dominance in the House , where they have a clear advantage : • 2016 : RealClearPolitics Average had Democrats +0.6 near Election Day - > Final was Republicans +1.1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maintained majority 241-194 • 2018 : RealClearPolitics Average had Democrats +7.3 near Election Day - > Final was Democrats +8.4 - > Democrats gained 41 seats ; retook majority 235-199 • 2020 : RealClearPolitics Average has Democrats +6.0 during the last week .

With the help of Paul Hoffmeister, chief economist at Camelot Portfolios
With Election Day less than a month away, we look at which party will likely control the White House, Senate and House in 2020… and what to watch for on Election Night.
Currently, the major polls give former Vice President Biden more than a 9-point lead nationally against President Trump – according to RealClearPolitics National Average.
And the Predictit markets imply a 67% probability of Biden winning on November 3rd. Additionally, those markets suggest that Democrats will win both the Senate and House (66% and 88% probabilities, respectively). Quite simply, it appears that a Blue Wave is fast approaching, something which the market has not only priced in, but has successfully digested as a favorable narrative for risk assets.
It would be easy to simply close the books and call the November contest over. But, of course, the major polls were all wrong in 2016; notably about the presidential race.
In the following Election Review from Camelot Portfolios, we look at what some of the polling firms that called 2016 correctly are seeing today. “Shocking”, their polling suggests that President Trump will be re-elected, either narrowly or by a large margin. Therefore, as Camelot notes, “capital allocators today cannot easily assume next month’s results.”
It’s very possible that Trump will win Florida, North Carolina and Arizona. If so, a win in Pennsylvania or Michigan will likely put him over the top in the electoral college. And speaking of “shocking”, Camelot notes that as far as the Senate and House are concerned, it also appears that Republicans will keep control of the Senate, especially if Trump has a strong night. On the other hand, the House is highly likely to remain in Democratic control.
First, a few quick notes, on what happened over the past four years, and a look at the “Market Narrative” of Trump’s presidency prior to Covid-19:
In 2017, the S&P 500 rallied in a relatively consistent fashion; due primarily, in our view, to the tailwinds of major deregulation and tax cuts.
Contrary to warnings that a Trump presidency would lead to a market crash, most notably by Paul Krugman, the S&P has returned 57.7% since President Trump’s election in 2016 (November 7, 2016 through October 6, 2020) – not including dividends.
Fast forward to today, when according to online betting site PredictIt.org, the probability of Democrats winning White House 63%, win Senate 66%, win House 88% (here, a question should be asked: since the contracts are relatively illiquid, is there one or more major players who have “cornered” the PredictIt market and are swaying public opinion with relatively low sums of cash).
Next, we look at the Electoral College Map after the 2016 election:
In 2016, Secretary of State Clinton received 65,853514 votes, or 48.2% of the popular vote. Donald Trump received 62,984,828 votes, or 46.1%. (source: Federal Election Commission)
In terms of the electoral college, however, Trump handily beat Clinton with 306 votes versus 232 for Clinton. (source: Business Insider)
Trump won the key swing states in the Rust Belt: PA, OH, MI and WI.
And, Trump won the key swing states of FL, NC and AZ.
This outcome was not predicted by virtually any pollster in 2016, when most of the major polls were wrong, but not all:
Among these major polls, Clinton led Trump by 3.2% during the week prior to Election Day. More accurate pollsters incorporated likely voters and attempted to adjust for ‘shy voters’.
Trafalgar Group was named best polling firm of 2016 presidential race. It was one of few pollsters to predict Trump would win PA and MI (sources: Trafalgar Group and RealClearPolitics) and also Trump’s victory. This is what Politico wrote in its post-election mea culpa about the Trafalgar Group:
The signs of a polling disaster were all there, but almost no one besides Donald Trump was paying attention. There were surveys showing Trump winning, but they were ignored by most news outlets, dismissed as partisan polls conducted using automated phone technology that eschews calling cell-phone users. the state polling this year was sparse, especially in the closing days. Of the 11 states POLITICO identified as Electoral College battlegrounds earlier this year, four of them didn’t see a nonpartisan, public, live-interview poll for the final week of the campaign: Colorado, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin. Taken together, it was a recipe for an epic polling failure. * * * Few, it seems, paid attention to the surveys from the Trafalgar Group – a Georgia-based consulting firm that, on its website, celebrates the time RealClearPolitics picked up one of its Florida primary polls – showing Trump ahead.

The Trafalgar Group was somewhat prolific on Monday, the day before the election, releasing surveys in Florida (Trump ahead by 4 points), Michigan (Trump ahead by 2 points) and Georgia (Trump ahead by 7 points).
At a time when the polling industry was crushed by its collectively incompetence, the praise for Trafalgar continued:
For those of you who forgot how successful @trafalgar_group was in 2018. We thought today would be a good day to remind you of what top polling critic @JesseBWatters said about us. Jesse sees right through the agenda driven media poll machine propaganda and gets to truth. https://t.co/6dZihbrFdC — Robert C. Cahaly (@RobertCahaly) September 17, 2020
The secret to Trafalgar’s success is that it best adjusted its polling to include ‘shy Trump voters’ and the votes missed in other polls. Democracy Institute also correctly predicted Trump’s victory in 2016, as well as Brexit.
Which brings us to today, and what Camelot Portfolios sees as the likely firewall states for Trump and Biden:
Which brings us to the punchline, and what Trafalgar sees as the outcome on Nov 3. In a nutshell, based on Trafalgar swing state polls, Trumps wins with 275 electoral votes:
What about the the “winner” in the 2016 polling fiasco, the Democracy Institute, and its Latest Poll for September:
Only asks likely voters, and asks about so-called ‘shy votes’.
Trump leads Biden 46%-45%, nationally.
Trump leads in swing states (FL, IA, MI, MN, PA, WI) 47% to 43%.
Trump’s swing state leads would give him 320 electoral votes, and Biden 218.
77% of Trump voters would not admit to friends and family.
Amy Coney Barrett nomination has little impact on approximately 8 in 10 voters.
Law and order is top issue (32%). Economy is second (30%).
Voters trust Trump more on economy than Biden: 60% to 40%, respectively
But wait, there’s more shocks, because according to Camelot, Republicans are also likely to retain their control of the Senate.
Current Senate makeup is 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats and Independents.
35 Senate seats up for grabs.
23 seats are held by Republicans; 12 held by Democrats.
Republicans at disadvantage; need to protect more seats.
Most vulnerable incumbents are in: Alabama (Jones-D), Colorado (Gardner-R), Maine (Collins-R), Michigan (Peters-D).
Assuming Trump polling in these four states will determine the Senate race: Republicans likely to pick up AL, Democrats likely to pick up CO and Maine – for net gain of one seat in Senate.
Outlier Scenarios: Trafalgar polling shows Republican in Michigan (John James) with slight lead; and Democrat in North Carolina with slight lead.
Likely November: Republicans keep Senate control with 52 seats.
Finally, in what may be the worst possible news for markets which are now convinced a blue sweep is inevitable, Camelot says that Democrats will continue their dominance in the House, where they have a clear advantage:
2016: RealClearPolitics Average had Democrats +0.6 near Election Day -> Final was Republicans +1.1 -> GOP lost 6 seats; maintained majority 241-194
2018: RealClearPolitics Average had Democrats +7.3 near Election Day -> Final was Democrats +8.4 -> Democrats gained 41 seats; retook majority 235-199
2020: RealClearPolitics Average has Democrats +6.0 during the last week.

A federal appeals court has reinstated a fraud conviction of Hunter Biden ’ s longtime business partner , Devon Archer , reversing a decision by an Obama-appointed judge ( and wife of Mueller special counsel lawyer ) to vacate Archer ’ s conviction and grant him a new trial .
Archer and several of his business partners were indicted on March 26 , 2018 in a $ 60 million bond scheme which defrauded Native Americans .

wearechange--2020-10-12--WHO Official Calls on World Leaders to Stop “Using Lockdowns as Primary Control Method”

In a stunning rebuke of the “ science ” and the “ doctors ” and leftist politicians and career bureaucrats in the US and across much of The West , the World Health Organization ’ s special envoy on COVID-19 has urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) virus , commonly known as the novel coronavirus .
“ We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus , ” David Nabarro told The Spectator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize , regroup , rebalance your resources , protect your health workers who are exhausted , but by and large , we ’ d rather not do it.
” [ ZH : How long before this video is removed by Twitter ? ]
Nabarro pointed to the collateral damage that lockdowns are having worldwide , especially among poorer populations .
“ Just look at what ’ s happened to the tourism industry , for example in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because people aren ’ t taking their holidays .
Look what ’ s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world because their markets have got dented .
Look what ’ s happening to poverty levels .
It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year .
Seems that we may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition because children are not getting meals at school and their parents , in poor families , are not able to afford it , ” Nabarro said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ global catastrophe actually , ” he added .
“ And so we really do appeal to all world leaders : Stop using lockdown as your primary control method , develop better systems for doing it , work together and learn from each other , but remember – lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle , and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.
” A number of medical or public health scientists and medical practitioners have signed the Great Barrington Declaration , which states that “ current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ short and long-term public health.
” The signatories include : “ Dr .
Martin Kulldorff , professor of medicine at Harvard University and a biostatistician , and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations , Dr. Sunetra Gupta , professor at Oxford University , an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology , vaccine development , and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases , and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya , professor at Stanford University Medical School , a physician , epidemiologist , health economist , and public health policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ populations.
” With few exceptions , world leaders followed in the footsteps of the Chinese communist regime when responding to the outbreak of the virus , imposing unprecedented lockdowns .
Sweden , which did not impose a lockdown , did not experience an adverse outcome compared to some locales and nations that did .
In the United States , President Donald Trump delegated the decisions on lockdown measures to the governors of individual states , but has pushed for the economy to be reopened , and lockdowns lifted .
As William Anderson recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to understand that the political classes and their media have a vested interest in the lockdown status quo , and that includes regular provision of what only can be called disinformation .
The mainstream media this past summer dutifully reported a highly questionable ( I use that term charitably ) report that the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota led to more than a quarter million covid infections and more than $ 12 billion of medical costs .
It should have been obvious on its face that the report was deeply flawed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the covid-is-killing-us narrative , journalists took this too-good-to-be-true story and ran with it .
As for politicians , the covid crisis has been a godsend for those governmental executives and bureaucrats who see constitutional restrictions that limit their authority as mere obstacles to be easily swept away .
Governors such as Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan , Andrew Cuomo of New York , Gavin Newsom of California , and Tom Wolfe of Pennsylvania have received adoring coverage in the media for seizing and employing dictatorial powers , Whitmer even unilaterally deciding that the sale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Cuomo ’ s decision to force the housing of covid-19 patients in nursing homes led to the deaths of thousands of people , yet his national media coverage is uniformly positive .
Contrast the affirmative news coverage of Cuomo with the barrage of media attacks on Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota .
Noem has emphasized personal responsibility and did not attempt mass closures of schools and businesses in the state , and the mainstream media erupted with fury .
That South Dakota has come through this pandemic relatively well does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only acceptable action ( to mainstream and elite journalists ) in response to covid is for governors to single-handedly seize power and lock down their citizens .
Keep in mind that the real losses that Americans suffered because of the heavy-handed governmental response to the covid outbreak are permanent .
As Robert Higgs so eloquently pointed out in Crisis and Leviathan , governments often create crises or , at the very least , they manipulate events such as natural disasters and use them as opportunities to expand governmental powers .
Even after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their newly self-granted powers—and most people raise little or no concern even when government has curtailed more of their freedoms .
Presumably , this means Joe Biden will now be pushing for lockdowns to be lifted across all blue states ?
… because he is “ listening to the scientists ” ?
We wonder how long it will be before WHO also urges the end of mask-wearing ?
In the end , as Anderson concluded , the only way that the political classes can “ make us safe ” is for us to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safe , or as relatively safe as possible .
When a virus is afoot—as is the case most of the time—we do what we can to avoid it and do what we can to treat it .
In other words , we appeal to real medical science , not what the political and media classes have cooked up for us .

In a stunning rebuke of the “science” and the “doctors” and leftist politicians and career bureaucrats in the US and across much of The West, the World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19 has urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” David Nabarro told The Spectator in an interview aired on Oct. 8. “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”
[ZH: How long before this video is removed by Twitter?]
Nabarro pointed to the collateral damage that lockdowns are having worldwide, especially among poorer populations.
“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry, for example in the Caribbean or in the Pacific, because people aren’t taking their holidays. Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world because their markets have got dented. Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. Seems that we may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition because children are not getting meals at school and their parents, in poor families, are not able to afford it,” Nabarro said. “This is a terrible, ghastly global catastrophe actually,” he added. “And so we really do appeal to all world leaders: Stop using lockdown as your primary control method, develop better systems for doing it, work together and learn from each other, but remember – lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.”

Nabarro isn’t the only scientist opposing lockdowns.
A number of medical or public health scientists and medical practitioners have signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which states that “current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health.”
The signatories include: “Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University and a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations, Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.”
“The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk,” the declaration states.
With few exceptions, world leaders followed in the footsteps of the Chinese communist regime when responding to the outbreak of the virus, imposing unprecedented lockdowns. Sweden, which did not impose a lockdown, did not experience an adverse outcome compared to some locales and nations that did.
In the United States, President Donald Trump delegated the decisions on lockdown measures to the governors of individual states, but has pushed for the economy to be reopened, and lockdowns lifted.
As William Anderson recently wrote for The Mises Institute, lockdowns only serve the progressive political class…
We have to understand that the political classes and their media have a vested interest in the lockdown status quo, and that includes regular provision of what only can be called disinformation. The mainstream media this past summer dutifully reported a highly questionable (I use that term charitably) report that the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota led to more than a quarter million covid infections and more than $12 billion of medical costs. It should have been obvious on its face that the report was deeply flawed, yet in their desire to fuel the covid-is-killing-us narrative, journalists took this too-good-to-be-true story and ran with it. As for politicians, the covid crisis has been a godsend for those governmental executives and bureaucrats who see constitutional restrictions that limit their authority as mere obstacles to be easily swept away. Governors such as Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Andrew Cuomo of New York, Gavin Newsom of California, and Tom Wolfe of Pennsylvania have received adoring coverage in the media for seizing and employing dictatorial powers, Whitmer even unilaterally deciding that the sale of garden seeds in stores was illegal. Cuomo’s decision to force the housing of covid-19 patients in nursing homes led to the deaths of thousands of people, yet his national media coverage is uniformly positive. Contrast the affirmative news coverage of Cuomo with the barrage of media attacks on Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota. Noem has emphasized personal responsibility and did not attempt mass closures of schools and businesses in the state, and the mainstream media erupted with fury. That South Dakota has come through this pandemic relatively well does not matter with the media, as the only acceptable action (to mainstream and elite journalists) in response to covid is for governors to single-handedly seize power and lock down their citizens. Keep in mind that the real losses that Americans suffered because of the heavy-handed governmental response to the covid outbreak are permanent. As Robert Higgs so eloquently pointed out in Crisis and Leviathan, governments often create crises or, at the very least, they manipulate events such as natural disasters and use them as opportunities to expand governmental powers. Even after the crises end, governments keep some of their newly self-granted powers—and most people raise little or no concern even when government has curtailed more of their freedoms.
Presumably, this means Joe Biden will now be pushing for lockdowns to be lifted across all blue states?… because he is “listening to the scientists”?
“I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientists.” Joe Biden tells @DavidMuir in an exclusive interview that as president, he would shut the country down to stop the spread of COVID-19 if the move was recommended by scientists. https://t.co/2A9r07d7EC pic.twitter.com/Ib99cshlSI — ABC News (@ABC) August 21, 2020
We wonder how long it will be before WHO also urges the end of mask-wearing?
In the end, as Anderson concluded, the only way that the political classes can “make us safe” is for us to do what is necessary to make ourselves safe, or as relatively safe as possible. When a virus is afoot—as is the case most of the time—we do what we can to avoid it and do what we can to treat it. In other words, we appeal to real medical science, not what the political and media classes have cooked up for us.

wearechange--2020-10-13--Billionaire Leon Black Gave Jeffrey Epstein $50 Million… Why?

Billionaire Leon Black gave his longtime pal Jeffrey Epstein $ 50 million dollars after the deceased financier got out of prison for pedophilia .
The transfer of funds was made in at least two payments , one of which Deutsche Bank flagged as unusual , according to the New York Times , citing ‘ two people familiar with the matter.
’ Epstein served as a director on the Leon Black Family Foundation for over a decade , and also accepted a $ 10 million donation for his Gratitude America foundation from Black ’ s “ BV70 LLC ” charity .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Epstein millions of dollars annually for his work , ” said Black in a Monday letter responding to the Times report .
“ It also is worth noting that all of Mr Epstein ’ s advice was vetted by leading auditors , law firms and other professional advisors ” Black added – noting that he had ‘ once ’ picnicked on Epstein ’ s private island with his family , and that he visited the dead pedophile ‘ from time to time ’ at his Manhattan townhouse .
Black ’ s spokeswoman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ fee dispute ” in 2018 , and that Black “ deeply regrets having any involvement with him.
” “ There has never been an allegation by anyone , including The New York Times , that Mr Black engaged in any wrongdoing or inappropriate conduct , ” she added .
In August , US Virgin Islands attorney general Denise N. George notified a local court that she would issue civil subpoenas to Black , founder of Apollo Global Management , as well as several entities he ’ s tied to .
The subpoenas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including those for Black Family Partners and Elysium Management – which oversee some of Black ’ s $ 9 billion fortune .
Black and his entities paid millions in fees to Epstein ’ s “ Southern Trust Company , ” which he established in the Virgin Islands in 2013 , according to the Times .
Other subpoenas will go to Apollo as well as entities that help manage Black ’ s extensive art collection , according to an August report in the Times .
It is unclear whether those subpoenas have been issued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investors , Black claimed to have had a “ limited relationship ” with Epstein ( who managed his family ’ s foundation ) , and was “ completely unaware ” of conduct claimed in new allegations against the pedophile .
$ 50 million seems like a lot for someone he had a “ limited relationship ” with , while it remains unclear exactly what services Epstein performed for such a princely sum .
The question everyone wants – or needs – answered , is just why did one of Wall Street ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biggest financial brains in the world 24/7 , pay an outsider for financial advice .
We hope , but doubt , that Black will answer this question outside of a court of law .

wearechange--2020-10-12--After WHO Flip Flop, Former FDA Chief Says No Reason for Another Round of Lockdowns in US

Dr. Scott Gottlieb appeared on CNBC ’ s “ Squawk Box ” Monday morning , as he often does , to comment on the coronavirus-related news of the day .
And with many still trying to parse the meaning of this weekend ’ s latest WHO reversal in its guidance – though , to be sure , Dr. Gottlieb insisted it wasn ’ t a “ flip flop ” – the former FDA head , who led Trump ’ s campaign against teen vaping , claimed that lockdowns were never well-suited to combating the virus .
“ We were in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May because we didn ’ t know where the virus was spreading…we ended up implementing a stay at home order nationally when in fact we could have titrated our mitigation much more effectively but we needed to know where the virus was and was not spreading , ” Dr. Gottlieb said .
“ Now we do have the diagnostics deployed and I believe we ’ ll be able to fine tune our response as this epidemic starts to affect other regions of the country.
” “ Other regions aren ’ t similarly affected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like tracking and tracing , could still work.
” Looking ahead , Dr. Gottlieb said there ’ s little reason for lockdowns to be employed in the US , or anywhere in the developing world .
“ I think the idea that we ’ re going to do national stay at home orders – or even broad stay at home orders in select cities – it ’ s just not going to happen , the popular will isn ’ t there for it , the political leadership on a bipartisan basis aren ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who are saying no more lockdowns here in the United States I think it ’ s sort of a straw man argument because it ’ s just not going to happen.
” When historians look back on 2020 , the critical failure is that “ we were so blind to the spread back in April and May , ” Dr. Gottlieb said .
But at this point , testing is widely available across the US .
So why are hundreds of thousands of businesses and schools still closed ?
And why are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Great Barrington declaration ?
Furthermore , maybe Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden needs to have a little chat with Dr. Gottlieb .
Moving on , Dr. Gottlieb was then asked to comment on the second-most-pressing COVID-19-related issue of the day : Is President Trump contagious ?

“We were in a difficult position back in April and May because we didn’t know where the virus was spreading…we ended up implementing a stay at home order nationally when in fact we could have titrated our mitigation much more effectively but we needed to know where the virus was and was not spreading,” Dr. Gottlieb said. “Now we do have the diagnostics deployed and I believe we’ll be able to fine tune our response as this epidemic starts to affect other regions of the country.” “Other regions aren’t similarly affected and targeted interventions, or case-based interventions like tracking and tracing, could still work.”
Looking ahead, Dr. Gottlieb said there’s little reason for lockdowns to be employed in the US, or anywhere in the developing world.
“I think the idea that we’re going to do national stay at home orders – or even broad stay at home orders in select cities – it’s just not going to happen, the popular will isn’t there for it, the political leadership on a bipartisan basis aren’t going to support it.

wearechange--2020-10-13--Facebook Bans Ads Questioning Safety of COVID-19 Vaccines

Mark Zuckerberg has clearly had enough of being hauled in front of Congress and hectored by a gang of senior citizens and listening to the head of the ACLU slam his company as a vessel for violent hate speech .
Because over the past few months , Facebook has done a complete 180 on its position about speech , particularly sensitive political speech .
Zuckerberg has apparently been shaken from his non-interventionist approach by announcing that FB wouldn ’ t accept new political ads during the last week of the campaign , and just yesterday announcing that Facebook would crack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The company has also launched salvos against QAnon and election-related misinformation , while taking an aggressive approach toward political advertising , and political content in general .
And as global authorities struggle to convince the public that an eventual COVID-19 vaccine will be safe to take despite the expedited approval process , Facebook has decided to give them a hand by banning all content encouraging users to refuse to take a vaccine .
It laid out the new global policy in a blog post published Tuesday .
Facebook will draw the line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandatory vaccination , ” which the company said was a legitimate political position ( not an argument made in “ bad faith ” that some on the left insist ) , to post as normal .
They cited an example of a state lawmaker from Virginia who posted “ STOP FORCED CORONAVIRUS VACCINATIONS.
” While the above ad will be allowed under the new rules , ads that explicitly discourage people from taking vaccines by portraying the vaccines as ineffective or unsafe will be banned .
“ If an ad that advocates for/against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine , it will be rejected , ” a spokesperson wrote CNBC .
“ That includes portraying vaccines as useless , ineffective , unsafe or unhealthy , describing the diseases vaccines are created for as harmless , or the ingredients in vaccines as harmful or deadly.
” Facebook also plans to push directions for all people about how and where to get the flu vaccine .
The timing is no coincidence .
In a recent research note , analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote that trust in the vaccine could be a serious barrier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that the biggest challenge to ultimately lowering the disease burden and virus circulation to very low levels will be convincing the broad population to take the vaccine .
Our base case assumes such broad uptake but this will likely require a safe and very effective vaccine , trust in the approval and rollout process , no out-of -pocket costs , and effective public and community campaigns.
” And news about JNJ ’ s latest halt has certainly not been encouraging , especially since the public still hasn ’ t been informed about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AstraZeneca-Oxford trials in the US .
As we have noted , Facebook ’ s decision comes as Bill Gates questions the legitimacy of Trump ’ s FDA , and Kamala Harris tells the American people that she “ wouldn ’ t take ” a Trump-approved vaccine .

Engineer Creates Fully Functional ‘Star Wars’ Lightsaber That Cuts Through Steel and is Likely Very Deadly

An engineer and YouTuber based in Canada has created a fully functional—and likely very deadly—lightsaber , turning the concept introduced over four decades ago by the first Star Wars film into a reality .

The video , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viral and racked up over 12 million views .
The replica lightsaber relies on a portable backpack connected to a hilt designed to appear similar to those in the films .
The hilt pumps out a constant stream of propane gas which , when mixed with oxygen , creates a beam-like blast of plasma flame that looks similar to the light from the sabers and burns at over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit – meaning that it can make short work of thick pieces of metal and can even slice through steel .

An engineer and YouTuber based in Canada has created a fully functional—and likely very deadly—lightsaber, turning the concept introduced over four decades ago by the first Star Wars film into a reality.
While numerous Star Wars fanatics have tried their hand at creating an actual working version of the Jedi weapon, these “weapons” have largely been combinations of non-retractable metal tubing and light, or glorified versions of the retractable plastic toy lightsabers.
However, for James Hobson—known to his YouTube fans as “The Hacksmith”—such prop-like devices ignore the essential nature of the lightsaber as a fixed-length laser that both glows and can melt through metal.
And because Hobson understands the basic principles of laser engineering, he was able to create his own version of the glowing blade wielded by the Jedi and described in the 1977 film as “An elegant weapon—for a more civilizd age.”
In a new video for Hacksmith Industries’ “Make It Real” series, Hobson demonstrates how he managed to transform a concept previously depicted through Hollywood special effects and CGI into a working device.
The video, which dropped on Thursday, has since gone viral and racked up over 12 million views.
The replica lightsaber relies on a portable backpack connected to a hilt designed to appear similar to those in the films.
The hilt pumps out a constant stream of propane gas which, when mixed with oxygen, creates a beam-like blast of plasma flame that looks similar to the light from the sabers and burns at over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit – meaning that it can make short work of thick pieces of metal and can even slice through steel.
Hobson also showed how a range of different salts can be placed into the plasma stream to alter the color of the beam. For example, boric acid can make the beam green, while sodium chloride (table salt) can turn it yellow. Calcium chloride will produce an amber color, while strontium chloride will turn the beam red.
“Even with all of our new equipment and capabilities, we’re still bound by the laws of thermodynamics,” the Hacksmith explains in the video.
“Well, theories say that plasma is best held in a beam by a magnetic field, which, scientifically, checks out,” he continues. “The issue is producing a strong enough electromagnetic field to contain a blade, well the lightsaber would have to be quite literally built inside a box coated in electromagnets, which turns it into a kind of useless science project.”
The outcome of Hobson’s project is a retractable lightsaber replica that glows “so bright … this actually hurts to look at,” Hobson said.
If you can’t resist owning the epic armament of Jedi knights and Sith lords who engaged in bitter struggles “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” the price tag also matches its intense heat: The laminar nozzle alone cost about $4,000.
“What we’ve made so far are some of the closest representations of lightsabers using real life technologies,” Hobson said.
