Mandatory Unemployment vs Personal Responsibility During COVID Scamdemic

Welcome to the new normal. Welcome to the new America. It’s not what our Founders intended. Not even close.

The liberal establishment must be so proud.

We now have a country in which honest, hard working American’s are no longer allowed to work.  Some cut hair, some are carpenters, some own gyms.  They’ve been shut down because of a version of the flu.

Yes, it can be a nasty influenza, especially if one is obese, out of shape, has a poor diet, has a compromised immune system, or is elderly. But those are the types of conditions that often lend themselves to mortality usually during a bad strain of the flu.

What ever happened to personal responsibility? If I trust my barber or hair stylist and the barber or hair stylist trusts me, why can’t I get a hair cut? If I want to gut the bathroom and build a new one, why can’t I make that decision for myself?  How about the gym (my wife and I have owned several)? Why can’t gym owners and their patrons decide what they want to do?

And now, proving how upside down all of this is, we have idiocy ensuing in San Francisco after the city decided to give alcohol, marijuana, and methadone to homeless addicts in hotels during the coronavirus pandemic.

San Francisco’s department of public health confirmed the report on Twitter this week.

“These harm reduction based practices, which are not unique to San Francisco, and are not paid for with taxpayer money, help guests successfully complete isolation and quarantine and have significant individual and public health benefits in the COVID-19 pandemic.”

It’s the coronavirus this time, but what will the next step in this government domination exercise look like?

China’s COVID Cover Up and Propaganda War

When the news of a coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China first appeared in Western media outlets in January, China’s state-run news operation went into full propaganda mode, striking a phony tone of reassurance and transparency to the West with hashtags like #wuhancoronavirus and #wuhanpneumonia.

Then in February, the Chinese made a big shift away from that tone.

According to a new report by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, there were two distinct shifts. The first ignored details of the disease’s spread and origins in favor of social media posts that praised the response of the communist government and President Xi Jinping. Then, later in February, stories and posts began aggressively accusing the West of racism and xenophobia, and even doubted the origins of the virus.

The shift in message can be seen via Tweets, provided by Recorded Future. The first is from early January and the second from Feb. 29.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both tweets are from a communist China propaganda account called, Global Times.  It has 1.7 million followers. According to Recorded Future, Global Times and other such China-controlled propaganda outfits have posted tens of thousands of coronavirus-related items on services Twitter and Instagram.

Recorded Future’s story aligns with a similar report published by news site Pro Publica. It describes a massive Twitter disinformation operation run by the Chinese government.

As for the earlier Chinese media messages describing the coronavirus spread in Wuhan, Recorded Future said “censors and propagandists had not yet communicated coordinated guidelines for foreign messaging by state-run media.”

Many of the Chinese propaganda outlets continue to publish on Twitter, despite putting forth false information. A Twitter spokesperson told Fortune that they are aware of such accounts and, in some cases, are taking action against them (amazing these bastards at Twitter have shadow-banned a small time guy like me for the past decade, and yet they allow this dangerous commie propaganda continue, all in the name of free speech*).

“Using technology and human review in concert, we proactively monitor Twitter to identify attempts at platform manipulation and mitigate them,” said a Twitter spokesperson. “If we identify further information campaigns on our service that we can reliably attribute to state-backed activity either domestic or foreign-led, we will disclose them.”

All of this comes as the Chinese Communist Party attempts to portray its handling of the Wuhan situation as a marvelous success, and a wonderful model for the world to follow. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports shared photos of thousands of funeral urns in Wuhan, suggesting the death toll is much higher than the official 2,535 number the government has put forth.  Also, the International Business Times  reported a soaring number of phone cancellations (in the millions) as evidence that the death toll in China owing to the coronavirus has been understated.

Thanks for reading and God Bless you all.  Please don’t forget to pray for the millions of Christians under horrid persecution in China.

*By the way, because of my being shadow-banned I now only use Twitter to share encouraging Bible verses with my very modest number of followers (a number which hasn’t changed much since I began using the platform in 2009, despite the fact that I hosted an enormously popular San Francisco radio show and filled-in nationally for Michael Savage).

Mike Bloomberg – proof that “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

Mike Bloomberg has more baggage than United Airlines.  And I mean the type of baggage one might purchase from a street vendor working an alley in Bangladesh during your first trip to South Asia–it looks good until it’s used for the first time and then you discover it’s made of the cheapest material and assembled to hold up perfectly until tossed into cargo hold of the first plane.  After that, the zippers burst and before you know it all your dirty laundry, personal sundries and cheap chachkies have been spilled across the the luggage carrousel upon arrival at your destination.

Given that one of the lines used by the left to take a swipe at Trump is that “He’s a billionaire who bought the presidency,” isn’t it amazing that the left is giving Bloomberg a free pass for his unprecedented use of personal money to fund his campaign?

And then there are the numerous statements Bloomberg has already tried to distance himself from, many racist and sexist.  Oh, and let’s not forget the stop-and-frisk policies he enforced as Mayor of NYC. The left loathes those, but in Mike’s case it’s all forgiven and water under the bridge.

The left hates Trump so much they just want a winner, no matter how rich, insincere, and stinky.

Now here’s a doozy that has been forgotten. In an effort to appease the left, Bloomberg has always talked about global warming as if he were the greenest of them all.  However, back in 2012 he was caught on camera hooking up a portable air-conditioning unit to his huge mayoral Chevy Suburban in an effort to keep it cool while he was away from the vehicle while on official business.

New York City has some of the strictest idling laws in the United States.  Cars using AC are only able to remain stationary with their engines running for three minutes. After that you can get nailed with a hefty ticket.  Bloomberg’s workaround was caught on camera by a few tabloids, but the establishment media wouldn’t print the story. Besides the manpower required to rig up the air-conditioner, one has to understand that such a unit draws extensive energy from the grid.

Interestingly, a week before he was busted for the portable AC,  Bloomberg visited the Bronx Works Senior Centre.  Temperatures had been a muggy 90-plus for days and the Mayor called on all New Yorker’s to turn off,  “all non-essential appliances.” Bloomberg explained, “It only takes a couple of minutes to cool off a room.”

All of this proves an adage first coined by George Orwell, “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

 

 

Hidden Headlines Podcast #50: Shadow-Banned: How Facebook and Twitter Limit Free Speech

One of the many ways to pacify social media users deemed problematic by platforms like Facebook and Twitter is to employ a tool called a “shadow ban.” The term originates from a time where internet communities primarily existed in individual, isolated web forums.  Rather than outright ban a user, a forum moderator would “shadow ban” them.  Those banned would never know it.  They could read the posts of others, and even create their own posts as usual.  However, nobody else in their community could see their posts, or even know that they tried to say something.

This garbage is going on today, primarily aimed at conservatives on major outlets like Facebook and Twitter.  This practice is dangerously un-American.  Yet tragically, an entire generation has been raised to believe such banning is appropriate.

Indeed, as I illustrate in this podcast, I have been a target. In fact, I’m so sick of these leftist corporate policies that I recent posted my last Tweets.

This is another podcast loaded with FACTS.

Another Crock of a Carbon Dioxide Report

As I discussed in my Hidden Headlines Podcast two weeks ago (for a solid half-hour!), carbon dioxide (CO2) is NOT a pollutant.  It is a necessary (and variable) component of the earth’s atmosphere.  But, proving that the establishment media has no problem bastardizing the truth by leaving out facts that would otherwise ruin their agenda,  here’s another story that’s getting a lot of attention (from Axios) that is chock full of lies:

The monthly peak amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere in 2019 jumped by a near-record amount to reach 414.8 parts per million (ppm) in May, which is the highest level in human history and likely the highest level in the past 3 million years.

Why it matters: Carbon dioxide is the most important long-lived greenhouse gas, with a single molecule lasting in the air for hundreds to around 1,000 years. The continued buildup of carbon dioxide due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels for energy, is driving global temperatures up and instigating harmful impacts worldwide.

The fact that carbon dioxide levels increased by a near-record amount of 3.5 ppm in just one year illustrates that we’re headed in the opposite direction from what climate scientists have shown is needed to avoid the worst consequences of global warming.

While I’ve written two books that totally debunk the phony carbon-dioxide-is-killing-us scaremongering, let me briefly unpack the whoppers stated above:

-Even though the level of CO2 is now at 414.18 parts per million, it remains at a mere .039 percent of all atmospheric gases.  Translated, that’s 39-thousandths of a percent.  Also, according to the Department of Energy, the amount of CO2 produced by human activities accounts for a bit over 3 percent of all the CO2 in the atmosphere.  While in theory it would appear that an increase in CO2 would also increase global atmospheric temperature, there is no solid correlation of that occurring throughout the history of the planet. Indeed, even the slight increase of CO2 in recent decades (about 35 percent since 1850) is well within historical measurements.  In the Eocene period (50 million years ago) CO2 was likely six times higher than today. In the Cretaceous (90 million years) it was seven times higher.  In the Carboniferous (350 million years)  it is thought to have been twelve times higher that today.         

-CO2 is NOT a leading indicator of a warming atmosphere, but rather a lagging indicator.  In other words, throughout history when average  temperatures on earth have increased, levels of CO2 have followed.  Likewise, when the global temperatures have decreased, CO2 has soon thereafter done the same.  Also, it has been much hotter in the past (including the hottest decade in modern record, the 1930s).  It should also be noted that ALL plants benefit from an increase in CO2.

-While a molecule of CO2 does move through the atmosphere at a relatively slow place, it is part of a never ending cycle, exactly similar to the water cycle–it just takes longer. All bodies of water (71 percent of the earth’s surface) contain cast stores of CO2.  The dissolved CO2 in the water is used to form the exoskeletons of shellfish, coral, and limestone. On the earth’s surface the CO2 is found in peat bogs, coal seams, natural gas, petroleum reserves, newly fallen leaves, felled trees, and animal and human corpses.

These climate lies from the left are purposeful!

Allow me to conclude with a telling statement from one of the men who inspired me to write my books:

People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be.
