wearechange--2020-11-26--Oligarchic Imperialism is the New Dominant World Religion

I was just watching a gaggle of blue-checkmarked narrative managers attack progressive commentators Katie Halper and Briahna Joy Gray on Twitter for platforming antiwar journalist Rania Khalek on the grounds that Khalek is an “ Assadist ” , which is imperialist for “ someone who opposes western imperialism in Syria ” .
At no point do any of these narrative managers bother to address the actual things these women were discussing together or why anything Khalek was saying in their video conference was wrong .
They do not feel the need to do such a thing , because they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which they can pin on one of the speakers and thereby reject one hundred percent of her work and one hundred percent of the people who give her a platform from which to speak .
They feel no need to address the arguments , because they have a label which they all agree means they can completely un-person someone who opposes western regime change agendas in a specific region .
There are many such labels that are used to exclude people from positions of influence and power for simply disagreeing with the official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any way .
“ Assadist ” is one of them ; it allows someone to be completely marginalized from platforms of significant influence without anyone ever needing to admit that they ’ re simply depriving anyone of a platform who criticized the way the US power alliance used proxy armies and propaganda campaigns in a campaign to topple Damascus .
“ Kremlin asset ” is another , as are “ conspiracy theorist ” , “ tankie ” , or “ [ insert imperialism-targeted leader ] apologist ” .
In reality , these labels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
They mean “ Someone who disagrees with the mainstream consensus religion of oligarchic imperialism ” .
In ages past people would be excluded from positions of influence and power if they did not belong to the dominant religion in that place and time .
If you were a Jew living in the Holy Roman Empire , for example , the door would be closed to you from ever holding a position of power or influence over the mainstream population .
In the same exact way , those who do not espouse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and status quo politics are cut off from major positions in politics and media using the modern-day equivalent of the “ heathen ” label .
It ’ s a very old dynamic adapted for a new world .
Oligarchic imperialism is the new dominant world religion .
It is the scripture that everyone reads from .
It is what shapes our culture .
It is what holy wars are fought over and acts of terrorism committed for .
It ’ s what power is built around .
It ’ s what you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s just as fake as any other religion , just as crafted toward the advantage of the powerful as any other religion , and just as dependent upon blind faith in insubstantial narratives as any other religion .
But it lets its adherents feel smug and superior to people who believe in those primitive older religions .
Adherents of the old dominant religion used to read the Bible ; adherents of the new dominant religion read The New York Times .
Adherents of the old dominant religion used to go to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new dominant religion go to Hollywood movies .
Adherents of the old dominant religion fought in the crusades ; adherents of the new dominant religion kill families with drones and Tomahawk missiles overseas .
Adherents of the old dominant religion used to burn heretics at the stake ; adherents of the new dominant religion imprison journalists and deplatform “ Assadists ” , “ Putin apologists ” and “ conspiracy theorists ” so their ideas don ’ t infect the rest of the flock .
These labels exist because if mainstream platforms admitted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disagrees with status quo oligarchic imperialism , they would have to admit that they are not the objective arbiters of absolute reality they portray themselves as being , but are in fact propagandists for a very specific belief system .

In reality, these labels are interchangeable with the word “heretic”. They mean “Someone who disagrees with the mainstream consensus religion of oligarchic imperialism”.

If you were a Jew living in the Holy Roman Empire, for example, the door would be closed to you from ever holding a position of power or influence over the mainstream population. In the same exact way, those who do not espouse the mainstream orthodoxy of continual military expansionism and status quo politics are cut off from major positions in politics and media using the modern-day equivalent of the “heathen” label. It’s a very old dynamic adapted for a new world.

Oligarchic imperialism is the new dominant world religion. It is the scripture that everyone reads from. It is what shapes our culture. It is what holy wars are fought over and acts of terrorism committed for. It’s what power is built around. It’s what you’re branded a heretic for rejecting. It’s just as fake as any other religion, just as crafted toward the advantage of the powerful as any other religion, and just as dependent upon blind faith in insubstantial narratives as any other religion. But it lets its adherents feel smug and superior to people who believe in those primitive older religions.
Adherents of the old dominant religion used to read the Bible; adherents of the new dominant religion read The New York Times. Adherents of the old dominant religion used to go to church on Sunday; adherents of the new dominant religion go to Hollywood movies. Adherents of the old dominant religion fought in the crusades; adherents of the new dominant religion kill families with drones and Tomahawk missiles overseas. Adherents of the old dominant religion used to burn heretics at the stake; adherents of the new dominant religion imprison journalists and deplatform “Assadists”, “Putin apologists” and “conspiracy theorists” so their ideas don’t infect the rest of the flock.
These labels exist because if mainstream platforms admitted that they refuse access to literally anyone who disagrees with status quo oligarchic imperialism, they would have to admit that they are not the objective arbiters of absolute reality they portray themselves as being, but are in fact propagandists for a very specific belief system. That they are not tasked with the responsibility of reporting the news, but with promoting the doctrine of the new dominant world religion. That they aren’t news reporters, but high priests.
Religion isn’t disappearing, it has just changed its form. The world has become too small for widespread belief in omnipotent deities creating the universe in six days and controlling all our affairs, so now people tell new fairy tales about a liberal world order which must be preserved by a beneficent superpower and its allies. In reality it is nothing other than propaganda for a murderous, tyrannical theocratic empire, of just the sort once presided over by Rome.
Western imperialism is worse than every single issue the mass media are screaming in your face about on any given day. It is without exaggeration worse than 100 percent of those issues. If people could really grasp the horrific nature of imperial warmongering, the wars would be forced to end. It is the job of the imperial high priests to prevent this from happening, which is why they use dismissive labels to marginalize anyone who might be inclined to remind you of this.
In a murderous, tyrannical theocratic empire, the only sane position to hold is that of heresy and apostasy. Hopefully one day mankind will open its eyes to reality and require no blind faith in any artificial belief constructs of any kind.

With COVID-19 cases continuing to spike throughout Los Angeles County – forcing bars, restaurants and nightclubs to shut their doors to remain in compliance with state mandates, ‘underground parties with hundreds of people continue to take place every weekend,’ according to FoxLA, which has been conducting an undercover investigation for several months.
As coronavirus case numbers continue to rise and we face tighter restrictions, it’s restaurants that are paying the price. Restaurant owners have expressed fear that the outdoor dining ban, which kicked in Wednesday night, may put them out of business for good. However, evidence shows it’s private parties and large gatherings that are fueling the spread. And so far, nothing has been able to slow it down. On Wednesday night in Beverly Hills, just hours before the outdoor dining ban kicked in for LA County restaurants, SkyFOX was over a large gathering with dozens of people congregated together. The type of gathering health officials haven’t been able to stop. –FoxLA
According to the report, this past weekend alone they witnessed “masses of young people crowded into a house party like sardines drinking, dancing, not practicing social distancing,” with “zero masks and zero concern.”
As L.A. County restaurants are about to unfairly pay the price for a surge in #COVID19 cases in LA, we continue our investigations into the ongoing underground party scene. More massive ragers this past wknd. But the county thinks restaurants are the problem? Story 10pm @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/anR8FwDDxC — Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) November 26, 2020

Responding to the Supreme Court ’ s 5-4 decision to block New York from setting capacity limits at houses of worship during the pandemic , New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo ( D ) has said the ruling was ‘ irrelevant.

“ The Supreme Court made a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Supreme Court than anything else , ” said Cuomo ( via the NY Post ) , while knocking the Supreme Court ’ s ( arguably ) conservative bias given the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett .

During a Thanksgiving Day conference call with reporters, Cuomo said the order was moot because the religious institutions involved in the lawsuit are no longer in designated red and orange zones in Queens and Brooklyn – therefore the restrictions, capping attendance at houses of worship – no longer apply.
“The Supreme Court made a ruling. It’s more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else,” said Cuomo (via the NY Post), while knocking the Supreme Court’s (arguably) conservative bias given the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
“It’s irrelevant of any practical impact because of the zone they were talking about is moot. It expired last week,” he added. “It doesn’t have any practical effect.”
“The lawsuit was about the Brooklyn zone. The Brooklyn zone no longer exists as a red zone. That’s muted. So that restriction is no longer in effect. That situation just doesn’t exist because those restrictions are gone.”

Another WestExec executive, Michèle Flournoy, is a top contender for Secretary of Defense, while former WestExec principal, Avril Haines, is Biden’s pick for director of national intelligence.

A dark COVID winter is descending on the working-poor of America as millions of adults face eviction or foreclosure in the next few months. Bloomberg, citing a survey that was conducted on Nov. 9 by the U.S. Census Bureau, shows 5.8 million adults face eviction or foreclosure come Jan. 1. That accounts for 32.5% of the 17.8 million adults currently behind rent or mortgage payments.
On Monday, we noted that on Dec. 31 many of the key provisions in the CARES Act are set to expire if there is no action from Congress. This could be catastrophic for 12 million America who will lose access to their Emergency unemployment benefits activated in the aftermath of the covid pandemic, which alone could be a drag of up to 1.5% to growth in 1Q, according to a recent Bank of America report.
Additionally, the expiration of eviction moratorium, mortgage forbearance programs, and suspension of student loan payments could compound the working poors’ financial stresses, many of whom, about 21 million of them, are unemployed and receiving benefits from the government.
The survey points out at least half of households in Arkansas, Florida and Nevada are not current on rent and mortgage payments – equating to 750,000 could face an eviction come early 2021.
On a city by city basis, New York City, Houston, and Atlanta had the greatest threat of evictions come early next year.
The most concerning part about the expiration of various CARES programs starting on Jan. 1 is that it removes safety nets for the working poor. A lapse from when expirations hit to Congress and the new Biden administration expected to strike a stimulus deal is expected be short-lived.

A Danish company behind a botched culling of 17 million minks which appeared to ‘ rise from the dead ’ has been identified .

“ When the relevant authorities contacted us , we mobilized a full emergency response within 24 hours , ” according to Senior ISS VP Simon Kaiser .

Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice—with serious indications of Israeli role—shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators Iran calls on int'l community—and especially EU—to end their shameful double standards & condemn this act of state terror. — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) November 27, 2020
According to Iran Front Page News, Fakhrizadeh was killed by shooting, but before the shootout, his car has been stopped with an explosion at Mostafa Khomeini Blvd. Several others are also reportedly killed in the incident, but haven’t been identified yet. Tasnim reported further details as follows:
At 2:30 PM Iran time, a Nissan commercial vehicle exploded near Fahrizadeh’s car. Immediately afterwards the assassins fired at Fahrizadeh & his bodyguard. Fahrizadeh was rushed by helicopter to the hospital where he died of his wounds.
Fakhrizadeh was a brigadier general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and headed Iran’s nuclear weapons project. He was a professor of physics at the Imam Hussein University in Tehran and was former head of Iran’s Physics Research Center.
He was widely considered “father of Iran’s nuclear program” – but which the Islamic Republic has long insisted has remained for peaceful domestic energy purposes.

The nuclear-powered USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its strike group are in transit to the Persian Gulf where it will oversee the Trump-ordered withdrawal of up to 5,000 American troops from the region in the coming weeks and months. It’s part of Trump’s belated efforts to drastically reduce American presence from Iraq and Afghanistan and to bring the troops home.
The carrier group will provide “defensive capabilities” amid the large-scale logistical operation. While it was deployed prior to the dramatic events of the past days which has seen soaring tensions between Iran, Israel and the US over the high profile assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the deployment comes as both Iran and Israel are on ‘high alert’ and a war-footing.
“This action ensures we have sufficient capability available to respond to any threat and to deter any adversary from acting against our troops during the force reduction,” a weekend Pentagon said statement said.
Over the past week the Islamic Republic’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has stepped up its naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz, believed to be a ‘show of strength’ after widespread reports this month that Trump may be mulling preemptive military action against Iran.
Tehran has charged that Israel was behind the Friday assassination of Fakhrizadeh in an effort to draw it into a full-blown war, which would also likely draw in the US.
However, USA Today noted the carrier deployment while coming at a tense time is not responding to any particular threat:
Navy Cmdr. Rebecca Rebarich, a spokeswoman for the 5th Fleet, said there was no specific threat that led the carrier, its dozens of aircraft and the strike group back to the Persian Gulf.

Iran has vowed retaliation, but this is likely to come as either a delayed or very limited response, considering the Iranians are also waiting out the clock on the Trump presidency, preferring to deal with Biden after January 20 instead.

French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed that he’s “very shocked” over what he called the “shameful aggression” of four Paris police officers who beat a black man inside his own business merely for not wearing a mask.
The officers didn’t know they were being filmed, according to French media, and it was uploaded to the internet Thursday, after which Macron summoned his interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, to the Elysée to demand “firm punishment” for those police involved.
The police brutality incident has driven international headlines at the end of this past week following prior months of Black Lives Matter and George Floyd-related protests in the United States.
Here’s now NPR summarized what happened:
Michel Zecler, a 41-year-old music producer, was not wearing a face mask — required under current COVID-19 measures — when police officers saw him walking in Paris last Saturday. As he tried to enter his music studio, the police officers pushed him through the doorway and pummeled him repeatedly with their fists and a billy club. The beating stopped when others in the building came to Zecler’s aid, though police later threw a tear-gas canister through the window to force him to leave his studio and arrested Zecler and others.
“The images we have all seen of the aggression against Michel Zecler are unacceptable, they are shameful for all of us. France should never allow violence or brutality, no matter who it comes from. France should never let hate or racism prosper,” Macron said in a statement posted to Facebook
“Those whose job it is to apply the law should respect the law,” he added.
In a rare move, authorities apprehended the four police officers Friday and held them for questioning. They face charges of “deliberate violence in a group with weapons and of a racist nature.”

CNN has just published the first of what might be a series of reports on a cache of new documents purporting to prove that the information disseminated by Chinese government officials was markedly different from the numbers , assessments and projections being shared with top-level officials .
While that doesn ’ t prove China lied to the public , it ’ s definitely not a good look ( not that any rational person takes China ’ s COVID numbers at face value ) .
Reports dating from early February show that the number of cases reported in the province was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public was being told .
A whistleblower who worked in the Chinese health care system provided 117 pages of internal documents from Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to CNN .
The report analyzes data collected between Oct. 2019 and April 2020 .
For example , on Feb. 10 , Chinese officials reported 2,478 new confirmed cases , making the total worldwide number reach beyond 40,000 .
But in a file labeled “ internal document , please keep confidential , ” the Hubei Provincial CDC recorded 5,918 new cases on that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” 1,772 “ clinically diagnosed cases ” and 1,796 “ suspected cases.
” The documents also “ reveal what appears to be an inflexible health care system constrained by top-down bureaucracy and rigid procedures that were ill-equipped to deal with the emerging crisis , ” according to CNN .
According to data from early March , the average time between symptom onset and confirmed diagnosis was 23.3 days .
Three months later , China ’ s State Council released a White Paper saying the Chinese government had always published information related to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open and transparent fashion.
” The leak comes Monday evening , just hours before clocks pass midnight on Dec. 1 : “ It was clear they did make mistakes – and not just mistakes that happen when you ’ re dealing with a novel virus – also bureaucratic and politically-motivated errors in how they handled it.
” But perhaps the most intriguing finding from the report is the fact that influenza cases mysteriously spiked in Hubei Province right around this time last year .
The outbreak wasn ’ t centered around Wuhan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Yichang and Xianning .
The outbreak wasn ’ t widely reported before now , even though the instance of cases was 20x higher than the prior year , according to the documents .
At the same time that the virus is believed to have first emerged , the documents show another health crisis was unfolding : Hubei was dealing with a significant influenza outbreak .
It caused cases to rise to 20 times the level recorded the previous year , the documents show , placing enormous levels of additional stress on an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influenza “ epidemic , ” as officials noted in the document , was not only present in Wuhan in December , but was greatest in the neighboring cities of Yichang and Xianning .
It remains unclear what impact or connection the influenza spike had on the Covid-19 outbreak .
And while there is no suggestion in the documents the two parallel crises are linked , information regarding the magnitude of Hubei ’ s influenza spike has still yet to be made public .
As an important caveat , we most note : While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mainstream press , outlets like the Epoch Times – which has been widely derided as a purveyor of COVID ‘ conspiracies ’ – reported on a surge in “ COVID-like ” infections happening around the same time months ago .
CNN also noted that the revelations are coming as the US and EU are pushing China to cooperate fully with a WHO investigation , and indeed the agency just announced the other day that it ’ s sending another team comprising scientists of various nationalities on a more detailed fact-finding mission to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic .
Still , we can ’ t help but wonder how a low-level bureaucrat would not only manage to abscond with such a highly classified report , but then manage to leak it to CNN , a news organization staffed primarily by English-speaking reporters ( though to be sure there are undoubtedly Chinese language experts in its employ ) – all without China ’ s all-seeing surveillance state catching wind of what ’ s happening .
The origins of the leak , and the lack of detail devoted to explaining how CNN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s something more at work here .

While that doesn’t prove China lied to the public, it’s definitely not a good look (not that any rational person takes China’s COVID numbers at face value).
Reports dating from early February show that the number of cases reported in the province was at times 3x larger than what the public was being told.
A whistleblower who worked in the Chinese health care system provided 117 pages of internal documents from Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to CNN. The report analyzes data collected between Oct. 2019 and April 2020.

It caused cases to rise to 20 times the level recorded the previous year, the documents show, placing enormous levels of additional stress on an already stretched health care system. The influenza “epidemic,” as officials noted in the document, was not only present in Wuhan in December, but was greatest in the neighboring cities of Yichang and Xianning. It remains unclear what impact or connection the influenza spike had on the Covid-19 outbreak.

Cabinet Office spokesman said late last week : “ As we edge closer to a vaccine we continue to work closely with social media companies and other organizations to anticipate and mitigate any emerging anti-vax narratives and promote authoritative sources of information .
”

No sooner did we just get finishing penning a piece about how the British Army is being used to fight “anti-vaccine” protests and vaccine “disinformation” – including by “work[ing] closely with social media companies” – than Mark Zuckerberg has also thrown his hat into the fray.
The Facebook CEO has said he wants to provide platform users with “authoritative information about Covid-19 vaccines,” according to CNBC. The company has “already reached out to the Biden administration,” Zuckerberg has said. We don’t know about you, but we already feel safer and more informed…
Meanwhile, “authoritative” is a great word choice.
On a livestream with Dr. Anthony Fauci this week, Zuckerberg said: “There’ll be a few important things that we can do together. We’re already planning a push around authoritative information about the vaccines.”
He did not clarify on how he planned on distributing the information, but if it’s anything like how Facebook informed its users on how to vote, it will be a non-stop bludgeoning of banners, alerts and messages that will completely override what little true “user experience” is left on Facebook, between the ads.
Recall, we also wrote hours ago that the British Army’s Information Warfare Unit is being deployed to deal with “anti-vaccine propaganda” heading into the rollout of the vaccine overseas. Some in the country have said they will refuse the vaccine and will do the same for the children. Others have called it a “mass sterilization program”. Other Brits simply “feel the Government is wielding too much power,” the Daily Mail noted.
The U.K. is also launching a probe into “vaccine disinformation”, including an investigation into (of course) Russia.
A U.K. Cabinet Office spokesman said late last week: “As we edge closer to a vaccine we continue to work closely with social media companies and other organizations to anticipate and mitigate any emerging anti-vax narratives and promote authoritative sources of information.”
We’re sure the Biden administration will do the same and anoint Facebook as its official Covid press secretary.

wearechange--2020-12-01--Florida Governor Slams Lockdown-Advocates as “Today’s Flat-Earthers”

Republican Florida Gov .
Ron DeSantis told reporters Monday that public schools will remain open despite the parabolic rise in COVID-19 cases , according to AP News .
DeSantis strongly argued against lockdowns and stated they do not work : “ Closing schools due to coronavirus is probably the biggest public health blunder in modern American history , ” the governor said at a news conference .
“ People who advocate closing schools for virus mitigation are effectively today ’ s flat-earthers.
” DeSantis said the state ’ s public school system would remain open while pointing out countries like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Switzerland all kept children in schools despite the rapid spread of the virus in their respective countries , adding that these European countries kept their schools open without negative consequences .
The governor pointed out the rise in cases in the state , though he said other states have it worse .
“ We ’ ve seen cases increase but look at all the other states that are seeing them increase way , way more , ” DeSantis said .
“ If you look at the per-capita hospitalizations , we are not even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So I think people should put it in perspective.
” His comments come as Dr. Michael Osterholm , who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota , and is the latest “ scientist ” to join Joe Biden “ special coronavirus transition advisory team , ” recently supported a “ nationwide lockdown ” to drive down the number of new cases .
A nationwide lockdown would drive the number of new cases and hospitalizations down to manageable levels while the world awaits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Wednesday .
“ We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages , lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city , state , county governments .
We could do all of that , ” he said .
“ If we did that , then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.
” as De Santis notes more vociferously than most , the real ‘ science ’ – where actual experiments are undergone , results noted , and theses concluded – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as JPMorgan noted in a detailed study , there are no meaningful curve development differences between countries with and without strong curve intervention .
This makes the bank question if existing public health intervention ( i.e.
, lockdown/ stricter social distancing ) should remain in place next year , and leads JPM to conclude that “ public health policy should consider approaches biased towards economic/pubic mental health over the urge to close the curve in 2021.
” To reach its “ startling ” conclusion , JPMorgan compared countries without lockdown , keeping the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Brazil , US , Sweden , Japan , Korea ) to countries with strong curve intervention ( UK , Germany , Italy , France , China , India ) to see any meaningful differential in the curve development .
This outcome suggests that COVID-19 follows a similar diffusion and development process of other infectious diseases with certain life cycles .
Therefore , JPMorgan would argue that public health policy should consider a bit more biased approach on economic/pubic mental health over the aim to close the infection curve in 2021 as lockdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ JPMorgan ’ s conclusion : “ Keeping public activities open and tracing susceptible people leveraging technology looks to have better risk reward to us.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters Monday that public schools will remain open despite the parabolic rise in COVID-19 cases, according to AP News.
DeSantis strongly argued against lockdowns and stated they do not work:
“Closing schools due to coronavirus is probably the biggest public health blunder in modern American history,” the governor said at a news conference. “People who advocate closing schools for virus mitigation are effectively today’s flat-earthers.”
DeSantis said the state’s public school system would remain open while pointing out countries like Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland all kept children in schools despite the rapid spread of the virus in their respective countries, adding that these European countries kept their schools open without negative consequences.
The governor pointed out the rise in cases in the state, though he said other states have it worse.
“We’ve seen cases increase but look at all the other states that are seeing them increase way, way more,” DeSantis said. “If you look at the per-capita hospitalizations, we are not even close to the top of the stuff. So I think people should put it in perspective.”
His comments come as Dr. Michael Osterholm, who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, and is the latest “scientist” to join Joe Biden “special coronavirus transition advisory team,” recently supported a “nationwide lockdown” to drive down the number of new cases.
A nationwide lockdown would drive the number of new cases and hospitalizations down to manageable levels while the world awaits a vaccine, Osterholm told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. “We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” he said. “If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.”
There’s just one thing… as De Santis notes more vociferously than most, the real ‘science’ – where actual experiments are undergone, results noted, and theses concluded – shows that lockdowns do not work…
But as JPMorgan noted in a detailed study, there are no meaningful curve development differences between countries with and without strong curve intervention.
This makes the bank question if existing public health intervention (i.e., lockdown/ stricter social distancing) should remain in place next year, and leads JPM to conclude that “public health policy should consider approaches biased towards economic/pubic mental health over the urge to close the curve in 2021.” To reach its “startling” conclusion, JPMorgan compared countries without lockdown, keeping the economy open under certain levels of social-distancing (Brazil, US, Sweden, Japan, Korea) to countries with strong curve intervention (UK, Germany, Italy, France, China, India) to see any meaningful differential in the curve development. This outcome suggests that COVID-19 follows a similar diffusion and development process of other infectious diseases with certain life cycles. Therefore, JPMorgan would argue that public health policy should consider a bit more biased approach on economic/pubic mental health over the aim to close the infection curve in 2021 as lockdowns could be costly to the economy. JPMorgan’s conclusion: “Keeping public activities open and tracing susceptible people leveraging technology looks to have better risk reward to us.”
To further DeSantis’ point, a recent study in The Lancet found no correlation between the severity of lockdown and the number of covid deaths.
On Sunday, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC’s “This Week” that children should be kept in school and the spread of the virus pandemic among children “is not really very big at all.”
Are opening schools a risk? "I'm glad that Dr. Fauci has made this position very public," @JoeBorelliNYC tells Newsmax TV. "Most have agreed that opening schools is not truly a danger." https://t.co/VlT7z8drtO pic.twitter.com/22XbQ8x00Q — Newsmax (@newsmax) November 30, 2020
There’s enough evidence that supports schools should remain open – though Democrats continue their calls to lock down everything.

wearechange--2020-12-02--Watch Obama Casually Admit His Drone Strikes Killed an “Inordinate Amount” of Innocent Civilians

Barack Obama is on his book tour for A Promised Land now four years after leaving office .
During his latest interview days ago on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert he was asked about his vastly expanded drone strikes ( setting a record far and above that of the prior Bush administration ) as a preferred method of taking out America ’ s ‘ enemies ’ .
But it ’ s very well-documented that drone strikes actually killed just as many or more civilians than terrorists in the process .
The former Democratic president still can ’ t shake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” given he still holds the record for number of ordered kill missions .
Now it appears he ’ s simply embracing the label .
This latest interview may have sealed this legacy – indeed it could be his own Madeleine Albright “ we think the price is worth it ” moment .
In the interview Obama admits that saying “ collateral damage ” is basically the nicer sanitized way of saying “ it killed people who were innocent and not just targets.
” So he basically casually acknowledged on national TV that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And then this incredibly awkward line : As journalist Eoin Higgins noted there was “ Zero pushback from Colbert here as Obama defends his drone war in pretty revolting terms.
” And Glenn Greenwald , who spent years covering Obama ’ s drone killings when he was at The Guardian had this to say… Here ’ s the section his book , where the former president actually attempts to present himself as the well-intentioned ‘ savior ’ of those victims he ordered killed : In places like Yemen and Afghanistan , Pakistan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of young men like those three dead Somalis ( some of them boys , really , since the oldest pirate was believed to be nineteen ) had been warped and stunted by desperation , ignorance , dreams of religious glory , the violence of their surroundings , or the schemes of older men .
I wanted somehow to save them—send them to school , give them a trade , drain them of the hate that had been filling their heads .
And yet the world they were a part of , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me killing them instead .
Further into the interview he said that killing by “ machinery ” was becoming “ too easy.
” He says he had to impose what he called internal controls to remind the military and drone operators “ this is isn ’ t target practice ” .
Meanwhile , NatSec insider architects of Obama ’ s drone policies and secretive ‘ kill list ’ are baaaaaack… In the end Obama ’ s book and interview remarks on drone strikes are full of cringeworthy levels of self-justification and rationalization for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimated to be multiple hundreds .

Barack Obama is on his book tour for A Promised Land now four years after leaving office. During his latest interview days ago on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert he was asked about his vastly expanded drone strikes (setting a record far and above that of the prior Bush administration) as a preferred method of taking out America’s ‘enemies’. But it’s very well-documented that drone strikes actually killed just as many or more civilians than terrorists in the process.
The former Democratic president still can’t shake his legacy as the “drone president” given he still holds the record for number of ordered kill missions. Now it appears he’s simply embracing the label. This latest interview may have sealed this legacy – indeed it could be his own Madeleine Albright “we think the price is worth it” moment.
Obama defends his drone strikes, which killed hundreds of civilians: “The problem with the drone program was not that it caused an inordinate amount of civilian casualties, although even 1 civilian casualty is tragic. But the drones probably had less collateral damage.” pic.twitter.com/6SwXj7b52C — Ibrahim (@Ibrahimpols) December 1, 2020
In the interview Obama admits that saying “collateral damage” is basically the nicer sanitized way of saying “it killed people who were innocent and not just targets.”
So he basically casually acknowledged on national TV that he killed a lot of innocent people. And then this incredibly awkward line:
“The problem with the drone program was not that it caused an inordinate amount of civilian casualties, although even 1 civilian casualty is tragic. But the drones probably had less collateral damage.”
As journalist Eoin Higgins noted there was “Zero pushback from Colbert here as Obama defends his drone war in pretty revolting terms.”
And Glenn Greenwald, who spent years covering Obama’s drone killings when he was at The Guardian had this to say…
2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner explains his preferences for how to kill people, falsely asserts that — after some unspecified number of years of the bombs falling on weddings and schools — that his conscience was activated and he imposed greater controls. https://t.co/DMfxoEPwjG — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 1, 2020
Here’s the section his book, where the former president actually attempts to present himself as the well-intentioned ‘savior’ of those victims he ordered killed:
In places like Yemen and Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the lives of millions of young men like those three dead Somalis (some of them boys, really, since the oldest pirate was believed to be nineteen) had been warped and stunted by desperation, ignorance, dreams of religious glory, the violence of their surroundings, or the schemes of older men. I wanted somehow to save them—send them to school, give them a trade, drain them of the hate that had been filling their heads. And yet the world they were a part of, and the machinery I commanded, more often had me killing them instead.
Further into the interview he said that killing by “machinery” was becoming “too easy.” He says he had to impose what he called internal controls to remind the military and drone operators “this is isn’t target practice”.
Meanwhile, NatSec insider architects of Obama’s drone policies and secretive ‘kill list’ are baaaaaack…
No, I'm being completely genuine. Avril Haines was the architect behind Obama's disastrous drone policy, which killed civilians and then dehumanized them as "collateral damage." https://t.co/AwpkCezu5Y — Ana Kasparian (@AnaKasparian) December 1, 2020
In the end Obama’s book and interview remarks on drone strikes are full of cringeworthy levels of self-justification and rationalization for killing what many human rights studies have estimated to be multiple hundreds.
