A Tragic Trust

Smart Boys who love science and trust modern medicine will literally die before they will question their assumptions of who is credible and who is not, as we’re witnessing in real-time with Scott Adams:

Scott’s story is tragic. He has been repeatedly betrayed by Modern Medicine.

Let me explain.

Scott took COVID-19 Vaccines. He trusted his doctors who would have assured him they were “Safe and Effective”. You can count that as a life-changing betrayal.

Since then, Scott has made it very clear that those who didn’t take the COVID-19 Vaccines made the right choice and didn’t have to worry about impacts of the jabs on their health. It is probable that he suffered bodily injury as a result of the jabs.

Scott was then betrayed by his Oncologists. It is clear that his Prostate Cancer was not treated properly. Prostate Cancer patients can live many years, even decades without progression, with the proper Cancer Treatment.

I don’t know what Prostate Cancer treatments Scott took, who his Oncologists were or which Cancer Center he was treated at. But they failed to stop Scott’s cancer from progressing rapidly to a “terminal stage” in a short period of time.

In addition to failing to treat his cancer properly, Scott’s Oncologist lied to him, repeatedly.

First, he told Scott that Ivermectin wouldn’t work, even though he had no way to know whether it would or wouldn’t.

Second, he told Scott that he had 0% chance of survival and would die shortly.

I wish Scott had told us the name of his Oncologist, and the name of the Cancer Center he was treated at, so that other Cancer patients could avoid them and save themselves from harm. Unfortunately, he hasn’t given us these names.

Instead, he has given the world my name, for reasons I don’t understand.

I have never been Scott’s doctor. I was his Health Coach, very briefly. Our Health Coaching relationship lasted 1.5 months, at which point Scott left.

Scott supposedly tried Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, for a total of 1 month.

Scott never completed my Ivermectin Protocol, which is a minimum of 3 months with follow-up blood work and imaging. So we will never know if Ivermectin and Fenbendazole would have worked for him or not. Trying it for one month and then stopping, is not sufficient to make any sort of conclusion.

It is the equivalent of doing one chemo cycle, stopping and declaring chemo doesn’t work.

It takes approximately 3 months to see significant changes on blood cancer markers and imaging. During that time, PSA may go up due to cancer cell killing and release of cancer antigens.

What is both tragic and stupid is the way in which Scott simply refuses to question any step in his headlong, self-imposed failure cascade. But instead of stopping, taking a look around, and assessing exactly how he has put himself in his present position, Scott insists on doubling down, then doubling down again.

It’s neither honest nor rational behavior. If he was honest, Scott would have identified everyone as well as his specific treatment protocols. If he was rational, he would have given the alternative treatment a fair shot; he is literally treating himself with less care than Spacebunny has successfully treated one of our dogs. The fact that he continues to act as a gatekeeper in the medical context despite his condition is sufficient to render his situation entirely unsympathetic.

Their trust is not only tragic, it is woefully misplaced.

A Century of Damning Evidence

If, at this point, you’re still vaccinating yourself or your children, you deserve the predictably suboptimal outcomes you are actively injecting into your life:

•Since at least 1933, the medical community has known that vaccines cause infant deaths. To conceal this, those deaths were renamed “crib death” and then “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS), eventually being attributed to infants not sleeping on their backs.

•This revisionism is not supported by the existing evidence nor the historical changes in the frequency of SIDS. Most recently, SIDS rates have had an unprecedented decrease in tandem with the COVID-19 lockdowns reducing vaccination rates.

•The vaccine most strongly associated with SIDS, DPT, was protected for decades by the government despite knowing a large body of evidence around the world showed it killed infants—particularly when an inevitable hot lot was released. Eventually, so many injury lawsuits were filed that in 1986, the government had to give blanket immunity to the vaccine manufacturers.

•This article will concisely review the vast body of evidence showing vaccines cause SIDS and reveal the mechanism modern research has now repeatedly proven causes vaccines to trigger infant death.

We’re always told that vaccines were a medical marvel that safely ended the dark age of infectious disease. However, when the actual records are examined, they often abjectly failed to prevent those diseases, and worse still, frequently caused outbreaks and severely injured many of the recipients.

This in part resulted from the inherent toxicity of vaccines and in part because manufacturing challenges regularly resulted in hot lots being released. Rather than address this, the vaccine industry chose to create a variety of strategies to conceal those issues, such as enshrining the dogma “all vaccines are safe” and giving blanket legal immunity to all the “safe” vaccines.

It’s perfectly understandable that many parents do not want to believe this. But the truth is not only ruthless, it is inexorable.

The incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has grown from .55 per 1000 live births in 1953 to 1.28 per 1000 in 1992 in Olmstead County, Minnesota. The peak incidence for SIDS is at age 2 to 4 months, the exact time most vaccines are being given to children. 85 % of cases of SIDS occur in the first 6 months of infancy. The increase in SIDS as a percentage of total infant deaths has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in 1992. This rise in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every childhood disease was declining due to improved sanitation and medical progress except SIDS. These deaths from SIDS did increase during a period when the number of vaccines given to a child was steadily rising to 36 per child.

What a tragic and inexplicable 133 percent rise in the number of parents shaking their babies and putting infants to sleep on their stomachs! Clearly more education is in order! More education and more vaccines!

UPDATE: the report got the rate of increase wrong. It was 0.55 to 1.28, not 0.55 to 12.8. Still an obvious problem, but literally one-tenth as glaring.

The Irrelevance of International Economics

Branko Milanovic underlines the irrelevance of modern economic theory to international relations and economics:

Mainstream economists can focus on facilitating economic competition within a fundamentally cooperative worldwide system because they pay hardly any attention to how states think about survival in international anarchy, in which war is always a possibility. Thus, concepts like security competition and the balance of power, which are fundamentally important for studying international politics, have no place in conventional economics…Moreover, economists tend to privilege a state’s absolute gains, not its relative gains, which is to say they largely ignore the balance of power.

The inability of economists to meaningfully discuss current international economic relations has become painfully obvious in their, at time pathetic, attempts to teach the US leadership of Economics 101 lessons while not realizing that the US leadership, under both Trump I and II and Biden, was not involved in a policy to improve the position of US consumers or workers but to slow the rise of China and to maintain American global hegemonic position. This inability to engage with reality springs from an extremely reductionist methodological position where one’s welfare is a function of one’s own absolute income only. With such an assumption it becomes entirely incomprehensible why somebody (in this case, a country: the United States) would get engaged into a tariff war and use other policies that reduce welfare of its own citizens (while at the same time also reducing welfare in China and in the rest of the world). A policy that not merely implies a negative-sum game but is designed to be a lose-lose policy, that is, to make both the originator and the target of the policy worse off in economic terms, makes absolutely no sense for such economists.

But it a real world, it does makes sense. Simplicist economists cannot comprehend it because their methodological toolkit is faulty and obsolete: it fails to take into account relativities, that is, the importance, pleasure or utility that we as individuals, and even more so countries and their ruling elites, derive from being richer or more powerful than others. If they were to add another argument in their utility functions, the relativity, whether of own income to another person’s or of own country vis-à-vis other country, they would have to say something meaningful. Instead, they are reduced to the endless repetition of trivialities…

Commentators thus criticize something that is irrelevant, that is not the real goal of the policy and this makes them look silly. They believe that by dispensing elementary economics lessons they show how wrong-headed the governing elites are while in truth they simply reveal inadequacy of their own methodological apparatus.

However, even this critique is too shallow and intrinsically assumptive of the theoretical benefits of international economic theory to be meaningful. First, it completely fails to take into account the actual preferences of the various economic players. Trump is not hurting American workers with his protectionism and the free traders were, quite obviously, not helping American workers with their blitheringly stupid trade policies of the last 40 years.

Second, it fails to observe the real relationship between war and economics, or account for the way in which war with a trading partner is a multiply by zero situation that cancels out all of the supposed benefits of trade and more.

And third, international economics is fundamentally erroneous and therefore reliably unreliable because it takes all the models developed for a single national economy and then tries to apply them, unchanged in any significant way, to a single hypothetical supereconomy that doesn’t even exist and doesn’t have any of the interests, structures, or players that national economies do. International economics is, quite literally, a category error, and is no more viable than Martian water polo or Venusian speedskating.

People Can Tell It’s AI

At least, they can if you leave the prompts right in the middle of your published text:

Fans reading through the romance novel Darkhollow Academy: Year 2 got a nasty surprise last week in chapter 3. In the middle of steamy scene between the book’s heroine and the dragon prince Ash there’s this: “I’ve rewritten the passage to align more with J. Bree’s style, which features more tension, gritty undertones, and raw emotional subtext beneath the supernatural elements:” It appeared as if author, Lena McDonald, had used an AI to help write the book, asked it to imitate the style of another author, and left behind evidence they’d done so in the final work.

The original text from the novel:

I expect skepticism. Dismissal. What I get instead is immediate action. Roman moves fully between me and the mirror, making the floor vibrate slightly beneath our feet. Ash’s scales darken as his fire magic heats the air around us.

I’ve rewritten the passage to aligin more with J. Bree’s style, which features more tension, gritty undertones, and raw emotional subtext beneath the supernatural elements:

“We need to tell Kai,” Roman says, the words coming out like gravel.

Now, I’m a huge fan of using AI as a creative tool. I’m even more of a fan of doing so now than ever before, for reasons that will eventually become apparent. But as with any tool, it’s how you utilize it that matters, and to be honest, I don’t even know how you manage to put your prompts into the actual text, which suggests that Ms McDonald is using a different text AI system than I do.

I have managed to put prompts into lyrics by accident, although it’s much more common to accidentally add extra lyrics into a track due to the way Suno retains the original set of lyrics even when a track is extended or a section is replaced. But that never escapes notice, because it’s hard to miss when the track length suddenly goes from 3:22 to 5:47.

Anyhow, people are simply going to have to get over being precious about AI-produced content because a) it’s only going to get better and b) most people are not going to be anywhere nearly as open as I am about when they’re using it and when they’re not.

MPAI: Even Worse Than You Think

In fact, most people are less intelligent and less capable than many of you can probably imagine:

How many US adults score at literacy level 4 or higher? About 12%, or 1 in 8.

Since over 60% of high school grads go on to enroll in college, we know for a certainty that the vast majority of them are below level 4 in literacy. College kids are functionally illiterate. QED. But what about those level 5 literate types, the ones who comprise around 1% of adults? What can they do?

This is the subject of a recently released study making waves in the education world. Researchers decided to sit with current college English majors and see how much they understood of what they read. In other words, these are competent high-school level readers by any national standard.

So how do they do on more complex and archaic language, like Dickens? Not well!

We placed the 85 subjects from both universities into three categories of readers: problematic, competent, and proficient. A summary of our major conclusions gives some basic data for our ensuing discussion:

* 58 percent (49 of 85 subjects) understood so little of the introduction to Bleak House that they would not be able to read the novel on their own.

* 38 percent (or 32 of the 85 subjects) could understand more vocabulary and figures of speech than the problematic readers. These competent readers, however, could interpret only about half of the literal prose in the passage.

* Only 5 percent (4 of the 85 subjects) had a detailed, literal understanding of the first paragraphs of Bleak House.

To summarize even further for those skimming:

  • 58% of students understood very little of the passages they read
  • 38% could understand about half of the sentences
  • 5% could understand all seven paragraphs

These are college students majoring in English. About half of them are English Education majors, which means they will be teaching books like Bleak House to high school students after graduating. But they themselves cannot understand the literal meaning of the sentences in the opening paragraphs.

It’s Time to Surrender

The Ukrainian Army officers know they can’t win the war or even hold back the Russians any longer.

  • “There is coming a collapse of the front and a collapse of the Pokrovsk Defense.
  • The situation here (and not only here) is critical for the Ukrainian Army, as I have reported repeatedly in recent weeks.
  • Especially in Drone matters, the Russians have caught up dramatically, if not even overtaken the Ukrainian Defenders.
  • Hundreds of Fiber Optic Drones are deployed every day. There is almost no defense against them.
  • As a result, Ukraine is losing far more vehicles than it can replace. This makes Logistics almost impossible.
  • In addition, new Russian Infantrymen are constantly arriving and, for the past month, numerous Russian Armored Vehicles have also been advancing alongside civilian vehicles.
  • The failure of his Western Partners has meant that  Zelensky  would now accept any compromise.
  • However, since this same failure also means that the Russian Army has no reason whatsoever to rely on negotiations, the situation will continue to deteriorate.”

Those who have studied the history of war know that there always comes a breaking point after which the outcome simply isn’t in doubt any longer. Tragically, the kings, generals, and politicians who wage wars very seldom accept the inevitable, and so they drag things out long past the breaking point, thereby leaving the losing country worse off than it would have been if they’d waved the white flag at the appropriate point and at the cost of far more lives than needed to be lost.

Ukraine is now at that point. Russia is advancing faster than at any point since the initial invasion, at a rate of 30 square kilometers per day, and it is doing so without launching the sort of Zhukov-style mass offensive for which the Russian military is famous. What Putin and his generals are waiting for, I do not know, but the extent to which the Ukrainian forces have been degraded suggests that this summer will bring one or more large-scale offensives that will finally break the Ukrainian lines and cause a crisis for the Kiev regime.

And at that point, many recriminations will be correctly aimed at the US and European leaders who failed to force a surrender that would have cost less in terms of territory and lives than the one that will inevitably follow.

Calling Out the Media

President Trump openly called out the national media for its complete failure to cover one of the most important stories of the previous administration: the autopen and the forged signatures of the Fake President:

After dodging smears, spin, and nonstop gaslighting, Trump had one more message for the American people—and a brutal question for the press.

He reminded the media just how bad things had gotten under the last administration.

“We were losing $5 billion a day under the past administration,” he said.

Then he dropped the hammer.

“And by the way, you oughta—the real question: who ran the auto pen?”

“Okay, who ran the auto pen?!”

The room fell silent.

Trump was referring to mounting evidence that critical documents from the Biden era were being signed without the president’s full awareness—or possibly without his involvement at all.

With Biden’s cognitive and physical health now finally under public scrutiny, the question isn’t rhetorical.

Trump spelled it out for the press unwilling to do their job:

“Because the things that were signed, were signed illegally in my opinion. I think we’ve just proved that.”

It’s been disappointing to see how so few public officials and politicians are being arrested and charged with the crimes that we all know they have committed over the last five years, but it’s still a joy to see the President wielding his rhetorical hammer to such positive effect.

The Gaza War Comes to DC

One of the many benefits of globalization and mass immigration is the way that different groups of foreigners can extend their violent conflicts to your country.

A pro-Palestinian gunman suspected of shooting a young Jewish diplomatic couple dead was seen in chilling video manically screaming ‘Free Palestine’ as he was hauled into custody. Chilling footage emerged overnight of 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez as he was taken into custody after two Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.

Israeli embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were identified as the victims in the vile attack that was condemned by President Donald Trump. Lischinsky was a German-Israeli dual national employed as a research assistant for Middle East & North African Affairs at the Embassy’s Political Department, according to his LinkedIn profile. 

Details emerged of the suspect’s background and political affiliations overnight on Thursday, including his reported membership of a far-left group. He’s believed to have been involved in activism with the Part for Socialisma and Liberation and Black Lives Matter.

And now we get to listen to somber lectures about anti-semitism, October 7th, and the Holocaust, as if tens of thousands of Palestinians aren’t being murdered in their homeland. But it’s really not that difficult. Pakistanis and Indians are squaring off everywhere from Toronto to Birmingham, UK because of what’s taking place in Kashmir. The Israeli diplomat was targeted for assassination because of what Israel is doing in Gaza, not because random Hispanic immigrants happen to harbor irrational hatred for Jews.

What should be of considerably more concern to everyone is that the killer wasn’t Palestinian, or even Arab or Muslim. It’s another sign that the vast majority of the world is vehemently opposed to the Netanyahu regime and its insane campaign of murderous ethnic cleansing in Gaza. It’s a little difficult to convincingly cry victim when everyone knows which party is the aggressor and initiated the hostilities.

UPDATE: Didn’t that hater know that diplomats are supposed to be sancrosanct!

Approximately one hour ago, around 7:47 AM eastern US Time today, Israeli soldiers fired at foreign diplomats from European and Arab states who were touring Jenin in the West Bank. The delegation reportedly included 35 ambassadors, consuls, and diplomats from the European Union, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Jordan, China, Russia, Japan, and others.

They Knew the Vaxx was Bad

I’m sure this will come as no surprise to anyone here, but documents have revealed that the Administration of the Six Bidens knew the vaxx was causing heart damage in the vaccinated, but ordered the information suppressed:

The Biden administration has been accused of purposefully covering up potentially deadly side effects of the Covid vaccines. A Congressional investigation found White House officials held back warnings about heart damage from Covid vaccines in younger people, even after getting early alerts from other countries, including Israel.

Internal emails and memos suggest a planned Health Alert Network (HAN) message by the CDC regarding myocarditis was not released. Drafts of this alert reportedly downplayed risks, emphasizing vaccine benefits over potential adverse events, according to the report. Emails indicate FDA officials, including then-Commissioner Janet Woodcock, expressed reservations about the language in the proposed HAN, leading to its suppression.

The Biden administration, the report alleges, gave former top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci talking points to downplay the myocarditis risk, instructing them to say that the reported cases ‘have been mild and often go away without requiring treatment.’

Meanwhile, the report reveals CDC officials privately briefed Pfizer and Moderna about the potential myocarditis warning while keeping the American public in the dark.

Now, remember this ex post facto revelation, so next time, when all your NPC friends, family, and coworkers tell you to “trust the science” you will know better than to do so. The science, such as it is, quite literally lies to you.

Anyhow, the revelation is impressive, very nice. Now do turbocancer and infertility.

Big Fun Needs a Remix

Apparently “Teenage Suicide” is now just fine as far as the Canadian government is concerned.

A special committee of MPs and senators studying Medical Assistance in Dying has recommended allowing MAiD for mature minors. A mature minor is a child or teen who is deemed capable of making a decision for MAiD. This would essentially remove the minimum age of eligibility. The committee also suggested parents may not be consulted and wouldn’t need to consent to their child’s death via MAiD. Children are uniquely vulnerable. Canada’s first priority must be to provide high quality medical care for children.

And by “high quality medical care” they mean “killing teenagers”.

“Teenage suicide… just do it!”
