    Steve Schapiro Robert Kennedy US Presidential Campaign 1968   •

    Gee, they played hardball with the Kennedy’s…
    Today is the new version, with gibberish, disguised as content. Softball 2020’s style.

    Today we laud the bright and shinny; burying the substantive…
    That picture sparked many emotions of that time for me; but history has not been kind to the 60’s… and for many good reasons…

    There is still freedom out there; but, you must know what it is you really want…

    Well, now that wearing face-masks is so widely mandated and accepted, unlike during the very uncertain and anxious primary-season of this year, I think it should be okay to show up to City Hall to early vote the way I normally do. And I’m pretty sure the city clerk’s office will have hand-sanitizer ready in abundance for people who are coming in to fill out their ballots for the election.

    NATO

    Back in July US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said [….the role of NATO is to…] “avoid peace in Europe”

    While he meant to say ‘avoid war in Europe’ the idea that NATO’s purpose is to prevent peace in Europe makes much more sense!

    #62446

    At this point NATO’s purpose is to justify the existence of NATO.

    Trump-neutered?: Herd immunity might turn out to result in herd infertility.

    Chinese doctors are recommending fertility tests for young men who have had Covid-19. This makes sense. The testes have large numbers of ACE2 receptors, and the testes are referred to as “immune privileged.” This means that the testes have a reduced immune activity for the purpose of protecting sperm from damage by the immune system. Some specialists have referred to the testes as the ideal virus receptacle. By contrast, the intestines have many more ACE2 receptors, but they have a very strong immune function.

    Scans of asymptomatic or mild Covid-19 patients, after recovery, have shown lung or heart abnormalities. The data so far is insufficient to show the effects on the testes, but the testes could show very serious damage even if the damage to heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys is mild. The original SARS-1 virus was found to damage the testes. A number of viruses, like the mumps and zika viruses, are known to take up residence in the testes and cause atrophy. I’ve already seen one report of shrinkage in the testes caused by Covid-19.

    Symptoms could be a loss of production of testosterone and sperm as well as breast enlargement and erectile dysfunction. Adolescent boys may fail to develop normal male sex characteristics.

    If young men want to go to Covid parties and hang out in loud over-crowded bars, they may later find out they have been Trump-neutered. That could be considered normal Darwinian selection to remove stupidity genes from the gene pool. But the serious consequence is that they are also likely to spread the virus in the general population.

    The female reproductive system has very few ACE2 receptors, and is therefore considered immune to Covid-19. Unfortunately, the virus has several other doors to enter human cells. So it is too early to conclude for certain that the female reproductive system is safe. Even if it were, the virus might compromise the blood flow to the uterus and ovaries.

    We live in a state of serious ignorance about the damage done by the novel Corona virus. Perhaps a couple of decades will be required to understand all the implications of this virus. Many serious viruses, like smallpox, yellow fever, and plague, are known primarily by the case fatality rate. Others, like polio, are known primarily for their disability consequences. We don’t currently know how the novel Corona virus will be seen in the years to come.

    House returns from recess to vote on additional $25 billion for United States Postal Service
    Nicholas Wu
    USA TODAY
    WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives is set to return early from its recess and pass legislation Saturday preventing any further changes at the United States Postal Service and providing $25 billion in funding ahead of an expected surge in mail-in ballots in the November election.

    The Democratic-controlled body will likely pass the legislation, but it faces an uncertain future in the Republican-controlled Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the Louisville Courier-Journal Tuesday he was doubtful a bill only addressing the Postal Service could pass the Senate. The White House said Friday it would veto the bill, calling it an “overreaction to sensationalized media reports.”

    House Republicans leadership said they would tell members to vote against what they called a “conspiracy theory bill.” But some House Republicans support the bill. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., is a cosponsor. And Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., said in a statement Friday he would vote for the bill because “now is not the time to jeopardize USPS operations or delay services.”

    “With universal mail-in voting, the government would mail ballots to everyone, regardless of whether they request them.”

    Good summary by Patel, thanks for posting it. The question that still needs to be answered is who is universal mail-in mail directed to?

    Data is required for any mailing to occur. Will universal mailing include only voter registration data? If so, then it is not truly “universal”. In my mind, universal mailing (as it is being misunderstood) would be like sending 3 ballots to a Resident or a Voter at 123 Main Street, CA, 12345. It is a GENERIC mailer, not directed to a named receiver. In that case, fraud would very likely be an issue – who would support that?

    Note that voter data files are not perfect and that marketplace utilizes many tools to groom data (update, clean, address change). Accurate Voter registration data is a hot commodity!

    Like everything else, the President is unable to discern the difference between a circus (universal mailing to the millions) and a targeted mailer to all on the registered voter roles – which would include BOTH Dems and Repubs. It is far more fun to whip up the uninformed over a charge of fraud before it happens.

    Don’t be ridiculous: nobody knows how to be embarrassed anymore. To be embarrassed there need to be rules, morals, norms. All that is our sworn enemy.

    “The deadly flu of 1918 killed at least 50 million people.”

    War has killed lots of people. You don’t like war do you? In they use cars in war. Cars are war. That is to say, mentioning 1918 is a blinding white-hot non sequitur.

    Okay, math, calc.exe nobody wants: 1.8B people in 1918. That means equivalent, (to nothing, since Covid is nothing like the 1918 flu, not being, you know, actually dangerous) is 222 Million deaths today. That is what St. Fauci, WHO, CNN, everybody said when it started. All life on earth will end. A new black plague has happened, so radical, it will change the economy, life on earth, social structure for 1,000 years. It didn’t. You can’t find it on a chart. The curve is so flat, there are zero deaths in NY. But their over-reacting lockdown sure is trying to kill life on earth: all poor, working, and minority life.

    So what’s 800k vs 222M? 277. 277 times more deadly. What is that? Well, it’s the difference between the top cause of death (cardiovascular) or accidentally wandering into a war and dying. Which we don’t have. And that’s just the difference between a REAL disease, like 1918, and a disease which has the death rate of the common cold among people over 70. The difference between daily life and Covid is 1000x times greater.

    Dr. Birx: November In-Person Voting As Easy As Going To Starbucks (JTN)

    What mask-and-distance studies is she citing? Is she against the June 6 research of the American Association of Physicians? If so, shouldn’t she start suing them?

    do get death threats, and I get text messages that are horrific,”

    So…she’s a person on the internet. Got it.

    You just have to stay true to your own personal values,”

    I wonder what any of those values are. Apparently not sticking to CDC research findings.

    PS, the safest states were apparently the states that ignored everything they said. Coincidence is not causation, however, her friend Mr. Fauci liked the results in NY best: i.e. most deaths on planet earth, 6,000 – 20,000 nursing home patients intentionally dead. Greatest medically applauded mass-murder since ye olde eugenics days. But since we’re super-cool, and those guys were evil, Cuomo-is-from-our-side, those 20,000 people didn’t die. QED.

    AOC nominated Bernie instead for “procedural reasons.” No one can seem to explain to me what the mechanics of this “procedure” is. No one even asks. They all ran away to look at fireworks. But yes, every NeoCon but Bolton endorsed the DNC, and they expect the Radicals and Progressives to be all in, breathless as a bride in anticipation of voting for a guy Kamala says is a racist and rapist. Don’t know what they’re doing, but since they don’t need to WIN the election to be put in office now, it hardly matters. Watch the vote-tangling test runs they did in NJ with 20k votes lost, and you’ll see exactly what’s planned.

    This Year’s DNC Was 2016’s DNC on Steroids (Savage)”

    Ever-smaller bubble, ever-more out of touch. Everyone thought that death-grip on Twitter, banning all comers without the Party UniOpinion would savage the opposition and give them complete, dictatorial control. Instead, turns out they only gaslight themselves into a padded room, babbling like Baghdad Bob. Who knew? I mean, except I guess every TV show and movie villain ever who says, “No! It’s impossible! This can’t be happening! My beautiful plan!” As the thousand things he thought himself too important to bother with all bite his tyranny and arrogance. As Laura Loomer is elected. I find the story boring and 2-dimensional though. Letting everyone talk on media leads to much more interesting heroes as well as villains. As we are humans, we are neither: the dividing line runs through all our hearts.

    Well, if at first you don’t succeed, do it all the same, but harder. The problem with the upcoming Post Office plan – I mean besides that everybody knows and Pelosi told Trump’s military intel planners months ago – is that they’ve alienated so many people by adding Joe, Kamala, and every NeoCon still breathing, that if Trump says there’s a landslide, and he’s arresting them all for resisting the results, the Left will neither know, nor care. They want Joe, Kamala, and Pelosi locked up as much or more than he does.

    “no one knows at this point how far Trump will go.”

    This is interesting, since he seems to be enthusiastically concede that they committed grave felonies or even treason. Yet somehow prosecuting these grave, well-documented threats to the Republic and all democracy is a bad thing. A political thing. Oh heavens, we couldn’t prosecute CRIMES! That might be political! Funny ol’ opinion there. The crossing of opinions reflects how much every thought we have now is built on a raw material of universal lies. It’s not really: it’s very, very simple. You can’t spy on opposition candidates. If you do, and there’s no reason, you fall on your sword and go directly to jail.

    “US extradition case against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is “disturbing” and “has worrying implications for all journalists”

    Well, there aren’t any journalists, so I wouldn’t worry. Just go watch the fireworks and don’t ask questions.

    House returns from recess to vote on additional $25 billion for United States Postal Service”

    Well, that plus the $10M they already had and weren’t using, and you can bet that nothing will happen, the narrative will remain shrill until Feb 1. …When everyone will forget there is a USPS at all. But voting down $25M really? We waste more than that on Ice Cream for the Speaker of the House.

    With universal mail-in voting, the government would mail ballots to everyone, regardless of whether they request them.”

    This is of course silly and ill-advised, as described by a state (OR) that took decades to get it running. So they mail me a ballot, but I’m going in person, so…what? I vote twice? My roommate votes against me when I’m not looking? Thousands of wrong ballots have already arrived most of this year, even before now. Many to wrong states. We have no signature or other checks, and it couldn’t be easier than to lose mail in a district you don’t like, grab mail at a city’s apartment blocks, or tamper easy as a (bucket of water) in the wide-open ballot boxes they just hammered into the lawn at the end of the road. Ain’t nobody watching. If you can steal a 2,000-pound statue, I’m sure you can lose a few ballots in a box that has fewer cameras than Epstein’s cell. Absentee has most of those issues closed. There are few, and you don’t know who they are, so you can’t collect them (although they do tamper with the overseas Army vote, being GOP), it has to be requested, so you CAN’T show up in person, it has only one, certain address, and so on. Even so, it’s certainly to be less reliable than in-person, where parties station their own watchers, as Bernie’s opponents were surprised by in Iowa and had to hot-foot it and do some quick ‘splainin’. Media never reported or followed any of that ‘splainin. Trump used a cat laser and they all forgot.

    And why? The DNC position is that mail-in voting won’t work because of the Post Office. But they demand a vote they argue will never work anyway? Whiskey Tango. National Hero Birx and Patron Saint Fauci say there’s no problem. The DNC isn’t put off a single instant, doesn’t even take a breath. There Is No Alternative to the voting we say won’t work!

    Right. Okay. Whatever. We all know what’s going on. I imagine even the Left knows what’s going on, and the only difference is, they hate you more than the Right, and follow the rules less, with more deadly violence. So think about your plan carefully. We have the Rule of Law not to protect ME, not to protect gun owners, not to protect the strong: we have them to protect criminals FROM me, from good people, from men who, if attacked, will lop your hand off for said shoving, looting, stealing, and finish lunch. The Law they desperately want erased protects THEM, not us. Think carefully.

    When they draw those maps of brains, where is politics? I’m thinking maybe not the brain at all, but somewhere halfway down.
    I went to the farmer’s market this morning and saw two- and three- year olds wearing masks. Masks are bad enough- masks on toddlers is sheer evil. Of course, I also saw a cartoon-themed kiddie mask on the sidewalk- I want to vote for that toddler.

    No. Male fertility was already tanking. Covid (TM) is not the reason. The “novel” (TM) magical coronavirus is the only one left in the diagnosis toolbox, so go ahead and believe it.
    “Data is the new oil”? Your medical data was off-limits, so of course, it’s the data the pharmers want most of all.

    “The celestial object known as 2018VP1 is projected to come close to Earth on November 2, according to the Center for Near Earth Objects Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory….The chance of it hitting us is just 0.41%, data show.” from the un-esteemable CNN.
    At only 6.5 feet across, it still poses a greater danger to most people than Covid.

    While most are busy blaming everything and everybody, for today’s rolling disasters across the planet; Gaia abides in the depths, foreign to the majority, and not unerstood by the rest.
    For the few paying attention and not distracted, there is nothing untoward.
    Nature (Gaia) is simply following the rules; physics’ at work…
    We human’s, with rare exception, justify, rationalise, blame, and deny; and then; refuse to see that which is in front of our face…

    “Universal” mail-in ballots go to registered voters. It is not some random mailing to “Our Neighbor” or “Postal Customer” at 123 Main St, Anywhere, USA.

    Your article about voting by mail comes from The Daily Caller, a right wing website founded by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel. Patel, who wrote this particular article on voting by mail, was a chief policy advisor to Dick fucking Cheney. The Daily Caller denies climate change and publishes articles from white supremacists. They are not rated well on sites that check for accuracy and honesty in reporting.

    The below is another article regarding “universal” vote-by-mail procedures. It is not written by someone affiliated with Fox News or Tucker Carlson or the Libertarian/Teabagger Party, so you probably don’t want to bother reading it.

    I remember when
    stacks of income tax forms were stacked up in the post office for people to gab and fill.
    There were no problems.

    “Absentee ballots, by the way, are fine,” Trump said Thursday. “But the universal mail-ins that are just sent all over the place, where people can grab them and grab stacks of them, and sign them and do whatever you want, that’s the thing we’re against.”

    The President’s quote shows me he has zero understanding. No one is promoting the mailing of ballots to everyone. This is about the mailing of ballots to all REGISTERED VOTERS – Dems and Repubs – without them having to request it. Ballots would be directed to named recipients – there would be no stacks for people to grab.

    Good article teri.

    It clearly explains what I have been saying – the “universal” mailing situation that our President is screaming about is false news. His idea of “universal” mailing is NOT what States are doing – no State would do this! Mailing ballots to ALL registered voters, including to those who have not requested one, is a different strategy.
