How Helene Affected The People Of Appalachia

To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president. "Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?" BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have." "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 30, 2024 We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]

373 Workers At Meat Packing Plant Test Positive For COVID-19

News from Missouri.

At least 373 workers at a Missouri pork plant tested positive for coronavirus, CNN reported on Monday.

All 373 positive cases were asymptomatic employees.

I’m beginning to wonder if we don’t have many strains of this virus, with some hot spots like New York having the worst of it.  I’m willing to bet that it’s mutating form (are there some 33 different forms now?) and many different forms are in America today, with some more virulent and some less.

Trudeau Bans Shotguns

Via David Codrea, it isn’t just rifles he’s interested in.  News from the land up North.

A government official speaking on background at a technical briefing for journalists said the number of these now-banned firearms currently in circulation is unknown.

Some of the firearms being prohibited are currently classified as “non-restricted” — mostly firearms like shotguns — meaning licensed owners do not have to register them with the police. (The long-gun registry was abolished by the previous Conservative government.)

There are 105,000 firearms currently classified as “restricted” that will now be classified as “prohibited.”

The government official said that, at the end of the two-year amnesty, gun owners must dispose of the firearm or they may be able apply for the firearm to be “grandfathered.” Details on the grandfather process would be released at a later date, the official said.

As we all know, that’s the purpose of a registry – to know who has them and where to go to pick them up (by them, I mean both the guns and the people).

Y’all folks in Canada are in a bad way, being subjects of the Queen.  The truth is, however, we may not be far behind.

You have two years to make your plans.  Don’t turn in your guns.

Hydroxychloroquine Saves Nursing Home In Texas: All Of The Models By The Professional Medical Community Are Wrong

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 6 months ago

It’s been panned by the bureaucratic medical community, but the data shows that it works.  Now, it has saved a nursing home in Texas (via Gateway Pundit).

Dr. Armstrong and others at the Resort at Texas City Nursing home knew time wasn’t on their side.

“Two of our residents had symptoms and that’s when we tested everybody,” said nursing home Executive Director Jan Piveral.

56 residents and 33 staff members were COVID-19 positive.

“Our Goal was to make sure we could shelter them in place so we don’t spread it to other people,” Armstrong said. “Then also at the same time treat them so they would get better.”

Armstrong says he knew residents who ended up in the hospital had a higher mortality rate.

“Our goal was to keep them here and treat them with the medications we had available,” he said.

When Armstrong began administering Hydroxychloroquine to it was controversial but appeared promising.

“If we didn’t make the decision quickly then we could potentially lose 15 to 20% of the residents which was not an option,” said the Doctor.

Armstrong’s approach was to begin administering Hydroxychloroquine a Zpac and Zinc just as soon as a resident first started showing symptoms.

The patients were being monitored daily.

“We did EKGs on each of these patients to make sure they didn’t have the cardiac side effects that everyone talks about,” Armstrong said. “None of our patients did.”

Armstrong doesn’t call the Hydroxychloroquine a cure and is aware of all the recent reports that say the drug shouldn’t be used to treat COVID-19.

But he points out only one of the nursing homes COVID-19 patients has died.

“Everyone who got on treatment who started on treatment is actually doing really well,” he said.

Heresy!  Sacrilege!  Burn them at the stake!  The high priest of epidemiology, Anthony Fauci, doesn’t like it and wants instead for patients to use Remdesivir.  Because.  Big Pharma.  Money.  Same for Ivermectin, which has been shown to work well.  We can’t have patients using therapeutics that don’t enrich big Pharma.  We must use the entirety of the MSM to pan this advice as anti-science, myths, fairy tales and dangerous.

People must bow to the church of professional medicine.  Professional medicine is the entity giving you all of the ratios today about CV-19 cases and deaths.  The denominator is meaningless.  As I’ve pointed out so many times before, many millions of people have already contracted this disease, built the antibodies for it, shed it, and never even knew they had it.  This prison in Tennessee is just such an example.

The Tennessee Department of Correction confirmed the positive cases on Friday. Out of the 2,450 total tests, more than 1,300 staff and inmates tested positive.

According to the state, analysis of the test results confirmed that 98% of those who tested positive are asymptomatic.

Not just not dead, but asymptomatic.  They didn’t even know they had the disease.  So the denominator is wrong.  But the numerator is wrong too.  As I’ve pointed out, “Presumed Covid-19 Diagnosis” is a thing.  A patient may enter the hospital due to a motorcycle accident with massive internal injuries, and die shortly thereafter.

If he had a fever when he died, he is a “presumed Covid-19 diagnosis” and is reported to have died from CV-19.  This isn’t a joke.  It’s happening, because the FedGov has stipulated massive amounts of money to hospitals based on CV-19 patients in the CARES act.  Administration is pressuring doctors to diagnose CV-19, and those numbers are going into the totals, for diagnosis and deaths.

So the numerator means nothing.  The denominator means nothing.  That means that the ratio means nothing.  They call this science.  I do science every work day of my life, and this isn’t science.  It’s more akin to witchcraft and sorcery.

But what has succeeded is a change to the daily lexicon for Americans.  Now, phrases like “social distancing,” “Go Home … Stay Home,” “We’re all in this together,” “Resilient together,” “Trust the science,” and similar claptrap is not just known but believed by millions of Americans as necessary protocol for life.

They have managed to reduce dependence upon and community with church and family, and increase dependence and community with the state.  That’s not by accident.  The priests now wear gowns, gloves and masks, with their high priest wearing a suit and being duly ordained and recognized by globalist groups like the World Health Organization.

Community, brotherhood, friendship, family, business and love now depend upon Zoom meetings, email, Skype, phone calls, and software written by globalist companies.  GM is producing ventilators which by some 98% kill the patients because they blow up the lungs like a balloon for a disease that isn’t ARDS, and never was.  Social media is quick to delete, erase, ban and otherwise disappear any hint of lack of fealty or infidelity to the powerCongregants are told what constitutes correct worship and what doesn’t as they meet in cars to listen to sermons.

“Science,” which isn’t really science, was a useful tool, a catalyst, and a pretext, for the changes we see in America today.

And just to remind you yet again, all of their models are wrong.  Rate of infection, active cases, number of cases, deaths, effective therapeutics, patient risk assessment, disease description and effective treatment, and effect on the economy of printing some 8 trillion dollars.

All of their models are wrong.  All of them.  None of them are worth the paper they’re written on or band width they suck up.

Science my ass.  I do science.  This isn’t science, and if you believe it is, you’re a sucker.
