Quote:Signym, you have so many excellent ideas, none of which could ever get passed in the Senate so long as there are more than 33 Republican Senators, but collecting taxes could be done without passing any new laws with a few thousand extra auditors at IRS. That budget item for the IRS would also require getting passed by the Senate, because highly skilled auditors have to be well paid or else they will go work for the wealthiest Americans (while the typical IRS drone is poorly paid), but collecting all the taxes would bring in an extra $1 trillion per year from the richest Americans, the top 1%.

Do you think "taxes" will undo all of the distortions of today's economy?
How about ... doing away with finacialism for a start? Getting rid of the stock market, "futures", hedge funds, fractional reserve banking, and all of that bullshit?
Getting rid of rentier capitalism?
And then about anti-monopoly ACTION by the government?
Direct investment by the government in production, not just infrastructure?
WORKPLACE DEMOCRACY?
Yanno, the system is so fundamentally corrupt, just paying obeisance to "taxes" or even killing off a few people isn't going to fix it.

Too many ultra-rich people skip taxes, Treasury official says. Why? Because they can

The Delta variant continues to ravage the unvaccinated and sicken so many, with the country hitting the dark milestone of 40 million Covid cases. And about 1,500 Americans are dying every day -- almost all of them not fully vaccinated.
The people who are refusing the vaccine and refusing to mask up aren't just killing themselves and infecting their neighbors. They're destroying the American economy. The stubborn refusal of so many Americans to get vaccinated and wear masks is likely to continue doing damage in the weeks and months ahead, as kids go back to school, the weather cools and more activities move inside. Cue still more economic devastation.
Let's be clear about who is responsible: the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and their proponents in conservative media and in the Republican Party.

chimeric virus is one which is made by combining bits of one virus with another.
This was explained in great detail by Chris Martenson, who highlighted the insertion very early in the pandemic.

Thanks for joining me in crazytown. Yes, this is exactly what I think happened. In Chapel Hill it was called "gain of function" research. It was suspended in 2013, and then resurrected in 2018, though appears to have gone on in the interval anyway. After 2018 it fled to China, with all associated names being involved.
I live in the real world.

Me too, but you called me crazy for suggesting the theory of the thing you just posted the evidence to because now that theory is fact. That's what it is like
everything is crazy until it's proven

Just to address today's research ...
Research today is NOT mostly done by a person sitting in a patent office thinking about a traveler on a moving train.
It's mostly done (funded) by governments, that fund research groups that are now mostly focused on patents and IP, with BIG BUSINESS circling like vultures hoping to make profits off the meat made by those groups; the other arms of governments fund weapons offense/ defense with secret research that for the most part nobody will know about for at least a decade.
There is basically
1) government-funded research driven by economic warfare
2) government-funded research driven by military warfare.
We're in a global research cold war. Just stopping isn't an option. Our zero-sum infected everyone, everywhere it touched: win or die. And we've gone so far for so long trying to touch everywhere exploitable around the globe. Now all those historic zero-sum losers are in the game to win, or aligning themselves with a side they think will win. That's why zero-sum, once started, is hard to stop. For example, if we stop, we'll be caught by surprise from behind by all those historic zero-sum losers we created. (I give Putin a lot of credit for finding for Russia a way out of the game as much as possible.)
Anyway, it's plain we're - the voters in a 'democracy' - not driving this bus. If we were, different decisions would have been made.
Killing the scientists wouldn't work. Because SOME places would understand that having scientists in the face of those that didn't would make them winners. And they wouldn't kill theirs.

Quote:If American voters were driving this country, or even looking out the window as the scenery goes by, they wouldn't agree to this high a level of defense spending:
Health spending per person in the U.S. was $10,966 in 2019, which was 42% higher than Switzerland, the country with the next highest per capita health spending.
"Countries with the highest military spending worldwide in 2020"

military-spending/
Quote:It is obvious who is driving the country but the U.S. Senate will not be changing drivers for someone less greedy, although the Senate could.
According to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, the outlays for defense will rise from a low of 596 billion U.S. dollars in 2014, to 915 billion U.S. dollars by 2031. Between 2013 and 2022, it is projected that the United States will spend 392 billion U.S. dollars on nuclear weapons

I don't see democrats as being the party of: peace, reduced military spending, and making nice with Russia and China ... or, in terms another issue of raw survival, even mildly cutting back on US CO2 production.

Quote:You don't see? There are two Democratic Senators who should become Republicans because that is the party that best fits their minds: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. As for the other Democratic Senators, their goals are incompatible with the GOP Senators' goals.

So long as the Republicans have 34 or more Senators, they can veto all change with the help of Democrats like Joe Manchin joining them.

Completely, but that's where my angle on pattern of behavior is coming from. If this is a plandemic there will be many more, because it worked.

this story caught my notice because I thought, maybe suspending research over this case, or maybe the French govt looked over and said "oh no you don't" or rather "mais non! zut alors! tu ne le fais pas!"
a vaccine trusting public in such a world is a sitting duck. If someone wanted to annihilate a country, CJD has an average survival time of 8 months and is 100% fatal. With the delayed onset, it would go unnoticed for weeks or months. That's going to be enough time for a weaponized vaccination program to exterminate the populace.
Now, I know, you're thinking like I am, that someone in France will catch this, but, will they? do we trust them to? and then skipping that, what about a country that's looking over at Colombia or Cambodia and saying "hey, nice piece of lang you've got there." Or China looking to acquire another south east asian puppet, or that country looking to stop them.
The best way we can plan for this is be aware of it and then build a biodefense, but also a chaotic society is going to survive this way better than a well ordered one.

Yup. But that's why nothing you're saying about what's happening to you or your friends make sense. There's still a lot of unvaccinated people.
You're not dying dude. You might have Covid, but you're not contracting a zombie virus from people who were vaccinated.
