The Easy Way or the Hard Way

China makes it clear that the reunification of Taiwan with the mainland is going to happen, one way or the other, and there is nothing the US can do to prevent it:

Recently, US senior officials have repeatedly shown their tough yet empty attitude on the situation in the Taiwan Straits. On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also accused China of attempting to “reshape not only its own territory but also the global system to its benefit.” Again, Blinken threatened that “if Beijing were to decide to try to change the status quo unilaterally by force, it would be a very serious mistake.”

Sullivan blustered to ensure that China’s reunification by force “never happens,” which is particularly alarming. This is the biggest boast made by a senior US official so far. Almost no one would believe Sullivan’s impromptu to a reporter would become a manifesto of US policy. This is because the US simply cannot build a deterrent to prevent the Chinese mainland from carrying out reunification by force when necessary. No one would believe the US has the true will to defend Taiwan at all costs, which goes against China’s military growth and its resolution in reunification.

So far, the official attitude of Washington is to encourage the Taiwan authority to build up self-defense capabilities. The US mainly provides military support to Taiwan by selling weapons. Those weapons are generally destined to be destroyed by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) as soon as the reunification by force takes place. It is credible that the PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan’s rescue. Such credibility is increasingly overwhelming the deterrence that US troops may have.

Indeed, the US does have a way of ensuring that reunification by force “never happens.” That is to blow the ambitions of the Taiwan authority to promote the “Taiwan independence,” to force them to return to the 1992 Consensus and meet half way with the Chinese mainland on the path of peaceful reunification and to accept the principle of “one country, two systems.” If Washington supports the Taiwan authority’s path of seeking secession and encourages the Taiwan authority to rely on it, then reunification by force will definitely happen. The more the US and the island of Taiwan collude, the sooner reunification by force will come.

All of this nonsensical blustering by the increasingly fangless US political leadership is making me wonder what it is they are trying to conceal and what it is that they are actually trying to prevent, because we know they can’t stop China from taking Taiwan and they can’t stop Russia from taking Ukraine. The only thing that is preventing the regional powers from taking successful military action is a) China would prefer a peaceful reunification process ala Hong Kong, and b) Russia wants nothing to do with being responsible for Ukraine and its inhabitants.

It shouldn’t escape your attention that while the Fake Biden Fake Administration is actively threatening a) China, b) Russia, c) Iran, and d) India, all four of those countries are calmly refusing to respond in kind. This makes me suspect that some sort of serious unrestricted – by which I mean economic – global assault is being prepared by the New and Improved Whole-Process Democracies, and the USA is desperately casting about for a way to shut it down before it starts with the military superiority it no longer possesses.

Don’t Trust Doctors

Seriously. They’re the auto mechanics of the human body. They tend to possess a highly-specific knowledge base which includes literally nothing about science, politics, economics, statistics, or logic. Yes, you can trust them to identify a problematic mole, tell you to lose weight, patch up the damage, and cut out things that shouldn’t be there, but that doesn’t mean they know anything at all about epidemiology, adverse vaccine effects, or the financialization of science.

1,000 Videos on UATV

Congratulations to the Big Bear, whose Owen’s Livestreams channel on UATV has just hit 1,000 videos. That’s 80 days, 17 hours, and 31 seconds of video content from his livestreams alone, and that doesn’t count the 457 other videos that are featured on one of his other three channels.

This is remarkable, if you consider that Unauthorized launched with Owen’s first livestream back in March 2019. But if the progress has been a little winding and uneven at times, it has also been relentless, and 2022 is going to see new creators, new features, and a massive quantity of new content.

Nuke Netflix, Ditch Disney, cut the CNN cable, and support UATV instead. You’ll be glad you did, because this is merely the beginning of a very long march that is going to take us to a lot of places you’ll want to go. And if you’re already a UATV subscriber, don’t forget to make the transition to the new payment system, which is necessary for participation in the coming UATV chats as well as for supporting multiple creators and giving gift subscriptions.

They told us to build our own platforms. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. Because we neither need nor want to be a part of their world.

Parties for Me, Not for Thee

The Conservative Party elite knew the whole coronavirus thing is total BS all along, as they repeatedly threw large parties in the Prime Minister’s residence at the very same time that family Christmas gatherings were banned in the United Kingdom.

Were there SIX parties in Downing Street and Whitehall? Claims of a festive quiz, Friday wine sessions and a bash to celebrate Dominic Cummings’ exit put even more pressure on under-fire Boris Johnson

As many as 40 people attended the ‘unofficial’ Christmas bash with some wearing festive jumpers, it is claimed. Sources said most of those present were civil servants drawn from the press office and events teams, but special advisers – the PM’s political appointees – were also invited. According to one of those asked to go, staff were told to bring in Secret Santa presents.

As the night went on, officials from other parts of the building came down to join. But the Prime Minister’s press secretary yesterday insisted Mr Johnson was not one of them.

‘He was working all evening,’ she told reporters.

The event took place two days after London was placed into what was the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions at the time, meaning people were not allowed to mix indoors with anyone outside their household or support bubble.

At that time, the Government website stated: ‘Although there are exemptions for work purposes, you must not have a work Christmas lunch or party, where that is a primarily social activity and is not otherwise permitted by the rules in your tier.’

Since news of the gathering broke last week, Mr Johnson and his ministers had steadfastly insisted that no party had taken place and no rules had been broken. But by yesterday the denials had become impossible to reconcile with the mounting evidence, after footage emerged of Allegra Stratton joking about what had happened.

This is why you should never, ever, believe ONE SINGLE THING that the government tells you. The official story is always the one and only thing that you can be certain is not true. These charlatans were the same people who spent literally months going on camera, gravely issuing pronouncements about how a moderately contagious flu virus was the modern equivalent of the Black Plague, shutting down the economy and interfering with the entire country’s personal lives, then behind the scenes were living it up in the knowledge that there was never anything to worry about.

Those in power are literally laughing at us all for being stupid enough to follow the rules they don’t actually think are necessary.

Dan Wootton, The Daily Mail

The whole “pandemic” is a fraud. It’s a one giant play that was designed to frighten everyone and convince them to submit to an endless series of injections. And the behavior of the people who knew it from the start proves that beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt.

How To Build a Town

This is something that one suspects will be of increasing interest to more and more people in the coming days.

To create a human scaled town we first establish what is a good size, and this is simply one third of a square kilometer, or 82 acres, or 0.13 square miles. 80 acres was the upper limit for a good family farm in medieval England, and it is still the size at which the most flexible and efficient farms run, both modern and more old fashioned Amish family farms. It allows a town where no point can’t be reached on foot in 15 minutes, and it allows comfortable living for a population of 3000, which was considered the ideal size in medieval Europe: the upper limit of efficiency and comfort, productivity and harmony: more and you get crowded, less and you risk being without some important trades and activities. Even though the premise talks about a town of 600, we plan three centuries ahead for a maximum population of ca. 3000.

A good town (the urban) is clearly defined and set apart from the countryside (the rural). The suburban has no place here. Hence the town needs to be as clearly marked out and defined as the individual family lots will be: to here, but no further. For this purpose we will mark out land to be used as a wall, raised embankment, hedge, fence, moat, canal, etc. Some sort of edge which is not routinely nor distractedly crossed.

As for shape, I recommend a somewhat irregularly oval shape, near round in one extreme, or rice grain shaped in the other extreme, for the simple reason that the best towns and cities seems to be oval to some degree5. As far as possible the existing topography should be kept or even enhanced. Perfectly flat land is only popular with boring developers. So: no bulldozing allowed. Existing trees should be left and existing paths should be left in place (even when slightly inconvenient). New paths and streets should follow the contours of the land. Anything historic (an old campsite, an ancient grave or remains of an old farmstead) should be kept and protected and venerated. History is in short supply in new developments, and interesting stories can be woven around something as mundane as an abandoned old cart or well.

Might need to expand that Beartaria project, gang.

The Mark of the Midwit

Show me the library and I will show you the calibre of the man. The scanty selection of books from the library of the man below indicates a genuine mediocrity, albeit one with pretensions of grandeur and aspirations toward a higher class. It was not at all a surprise to see this and learn that it was a picture of Jeffrey Epstein’s house. But in fairness, many of the books look as if they may have been at least partially read.

The Push for Forced Vaccinations

The informative thing here isn’t that the British public is massively against forced vaccinations, although that’s certainly useful to know. What’s more significant about this is the way that the British media pulled the poll from its primary morning TV show as soon as it saw how vehemently the public opinion is against the thought balloon that was clearly being floated. And note the implicit assumption that there can ever be an appropriate time “to make vaccines mandatory”.

Remember, the vaccines don’t actually have anything to do with Covid, so the harmless nature of Omicron is irrelevant as far as the media is concerned. The media is pushing vaccines at the behest of its owners because vaccines are a primary weapon in the depopulationist arsenal.

It’s not an accident or a coincidence that children’s deaths are up 62 percent in the UK in the aftermath of the vaccine rollout for them there.

Following the government’s vaccine rollout, the UK’s Office of National Statistics shows that the number of deaths between week 38 and week 41 of 2021 among children aged 10-14 were 62% higher than the five-year average for the number of deaths in this age group during the same period. Furthermore, the increase in deaths began when children started receiving the experimental “vaccine.”

This indicates that the push for forced vaccinations is coming worldwide, even though there is absolutely no reasonable justification for them. It is imperative for antivaxxers to start pressing their representatives to pass laws, even constitutional amendments, specifically outlawing all forced vaccinations with absolutely no exceptions under any circumstances, including national emergencies.

VEI Confirmed in Israel

Karl Denninger runs the numbers and reaches a firm conclusion about the statistical results. Keep in mind that this does not take any adverse effects into account, it’s merely about the relationship between the vaccines and Covid itself:

If you were infected and recovered your risk of a severe outcome, if you got infected, was 0.18% under 39, 1.1% if 40-59 and 7.8% if you were over 60. This doesn’t sound very good for the old people, does it?

Ah, but if you were vaccinated and boosted (best case, right?) what were the odds if you got infected?

0.1% if under 39 (too few events for good statistical power; there was only one), 0.6% if 40-59 (looks pretty good) but 6.2% if over 60. In other words even if boosted the infection rate that went sour on you if you’re old means the jabs are basically worthless compared against prior infection.

And if just vaccinated but not boosted? Comparatively you’re ****ed, right? Or are you?

Uh, for 16-39 your risk there was 0.05% (!!!), for 40-59 it was 0.6% (!!) and for 60+ it was 8.1%.

In other words among infections that matter being boosted had negative or no efficiency when it comes to severe outcomes for everyone under 60!

What if you got jabbed after being infected? This is data I’ve been looking for, and while the data points are thin and thus I’m not happy with the lack of statistical power, well, read it for yourself. Under 40 the risk of severe reinfection was 0.2%, from 40-59 it was 2.4% and for 60+ it was a stunning 10%.

IN OTHER WORDS BEING JABBED AFTER RECOVERING INCREASES YOUR RISK OF A SEVERE OUTCOME.

For the other way around, where you got jabbed and then got infected, there were too few events except in one cohort, 60+, to draw good conclusions as there were lots of zeros — but small infection counts. However, the news there isn’t good either in that in the 60+ cohort the severe risk if you got infected was 12.5% (!!!)

Ok, ok you say, but being vaccinated drops the infection risk. Indeed. But it drops it less, except in the 0-2 months since jabbed, than being recovered does. Indeed the loss of immunity from vaccination is nearly linear while for those infected the loss appears to taper significantly after the first six months and residual protection may be of very long duration or even permanent.

Indeed, someone who has been infected (but not jabbed) has a lower person-day risk of reinfection by more than half at one year post-event than someone who has been vaccinated has at four to six months.

The bad news does not end here. While being jabbed after recovery is claimed to produce “superior” results (“hybrid immunity”) the data says that’s flat-out bull****. At 4-6 and 6-8 months the error bands for vaccination after recovery and pure recovery without it cross; there is no statistical evidence that being jabbed after recovery helps and evidence it HARMS BY AS MUCH AS A DOUBLE in terms of the risk of severe outcome.

The other way around is even worse; the evidence is that if you get infected after being jabbed you do not get the same protection as natural infection in that your immunity wanes faster; at 6-8 months you have a LOWER risk of infection if you were not vaccinated before the infection as opposed to being vaccinated and then infected.

In other words this data provides direct evidence of VEI.

It’s official. A study with a sample size much larger than any of the pre-approval studies has clearly demonstrated that the Covid vaccines are officially worse than useless. True, it’s not a proper double-blind study, but then, neither were the pre-approval studies that were tainted by the vaccination of the control group.
