The Post-Partisan Emporium

The Infodemic and the Rise of a Modern Inquisition Elisabeth Taylor The global pandemic of 2020-21 has given the public an unprecedented glimpse of the impressive machinery that forms the global health establishment. Some level of sensible co-operation between organisations working for the benefit of public health—including UN affiliates, NGOs, Big Pharma, academic research and publishing, national bureaucracies, Big Tech and Big Media, philanthropic organisations and think-tanks—has never been a secret. But the pandemic response has revealed a previously unsuspected level of orchestration that allows these entities to move in concert, even to the point that they appear to be reading from the same prepared script. It is something of a rude shock to find, as we now do, that a supra-national apparatus has been created and that this apparatus appears to be directing national governments, rather than the other way around. Recently, the global health establishment has shifted its focus from...

The Earlier Lab Leak Hypothesis The Chloroquine Wars Part LXXXI Mathew Crawford " A blind investigation is the buffer of a bad democracy ." -Mantaranjot Mangat The "plandemic" conspiracy theorists point to  Event 201  often. Of course, the players taking part in the event are controversial on many fronts. But doubters and "fact checkers" tell us (over and over) that an event that took place on October 18, 2019 could not have been a preparation for the pandemic because there was no knowledge of the virus. Any sense of propaganda  flooding the zone  must be coincidental paranoia. I've scratched my head over this for a while. Perhaps SARS-CoV-2 has been with us for longer than we knew? There are theories, and there is data... Ethical Skeptic ☀ @EthicalSkeptic Obsv1: Covid took 20 months to run its course in the US. We could not stop it. Obsv2: Only took '6 weeks' in China - and Covid was done. Inference 1 - We are inferior humans Inference 2 - ...

We've Lost Our Ever-Lovin' Minds Kids and Masks: Best of. Justin Hart It’s a catch phrase I’ve been using for a while. I have a lot of faith in humanity and I believe deep down that there are some great connections we can make across these deep divisions. I want to believe we share a “loving mind” at heart but it’s getting harder and harder to hold onto that notion. Let’s revisit some of the “best of” the mind-losing moments of the pandemic: Kids and Masks I suppose it’s the entrepreneurial spirit of America that makes products like these. It’s dystopian at its core but at least we can see their faces! Justin Hart @justin_hart Here it is. The hellscape of hellspaces exemplifying our insanity. We've lost our ever-lovin minds.

American Treatment Kit Movement Begins in Hawaii? The Chloroquine Wars Part LXXIX Mathew Crawford "Ua Kuluma Ke Kanaka I Ke Aloha. It is natural for people to behave in a loving way." -Hawaiian proverb Sunday afternoon I got a call from Honolulu Fire Department Captain Ka’imi Pelekai. He shared with me that the firefighters are fighting vaccine mandates with a lawsuit (Pfizer has been added to the suit over  the use of fetal cells in vaccine testing ). Such mandates for an experimental program strike me as disturbingly dangerous and immoral---particularly given the lack of long term safety data or time for fertility studies. But the veteran firefighter also had something extremely positive to share with me---one of the best things I've heard about during the entirety of 2021. In order to keep hospitalizations and mortality down, the firefighters have banded together and established a nonprofit ( freecovidhelp.org ) organization that designed and intends to deliver their o...
