Nikki Haley Positioned to Replace Ron DeSantis

The DeSantis campaign is imploding.  The most recent admission from the team managing DeSantis was their shifted goalposts for a second place in Iowa.  Additionally, there is now friction between Ron DeSantis and Jeff Roe (head of Never Back Down PAC), if the inside campaign leakers are to be believed.

There is an element of total understanding to the frustration about the bitter pill DeSantis is being forced to swallow.  I mean, think about it, the management of Ron DeSantis didn’t just posit the 2024 campaign in the last year, this has been a long thought-out strategy going back much further.  In retrospect, the DeSantis ’24 operation tracks to sometime in 2018; at least that’s when DeSantis had to give some formal nod of willingness.

Now, Ron DeSantis has to watch as Nikki Haley is shifted into his lane by the professional apparatus that controls the lane alignments.  Ron can’t win, that is transparently obvious, and he is now being bumped down in priority as the financial control people start to push Nikki Haley.  Seeing this must be driving Ms. Casey bananas.

CNN ran a puff piece on Nikki Haley recently, along with a poll showing that only she could defeat Joe Biden.

Before laughing, it’s wise to remember what CNN represents in the game of political media.  CNN is the official state media of the U.S. State Dept.  Nikki Haley was former UN ambassador and aligns with the worldview of the CNN control room and executive offices.

Haley is an empty vessel.  She has no true positions of her own and uses the headlines and sentiment of the moment to determine her outlooks.  This is why she previously said she would not run against Donald Trump, and said Bubba Wallace was a victim of horrible NASCAR racism.  These might sound disconnected but remember, at the time each statement was made – these were shallow public opinion constructs, not core beliefs.  Nikki Haley has no core values; she is a consultant’s dream candidate who will morph to the positions of the handlers.

The human brain can process images very quickly: MIT reserachers

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) — The human brain is capable of processing images viewed through the eyes for as little as 13 milliseconds, according to research conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology neuroscientists.

That processing speed figure is significantly faster than the 100 milliseconds reported in earlier research, the MIT News Office reported.

The new MIT study appears in the journal Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics. In the research, investigators asked subjects to look for a particular type of image, such as “smiling couple,” as they viewed a series of as many as 12 images, each presented for between 13 and 80 milliseconds

“The fact that you can do that at these high speeds indicates to us that what vision does is find concepts. That’s what the brain is doing all day long — trying to understand what we’re looking at,” Mary Potter, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences and senior author of the study, told MIT News.

Rapid-fire processing of images could serve to help direct the eyes to their next target, Potter said. “The job of the eyes is not only to get the information into the brain, but to allow the brain to think about it rapidly enough to know what you should look at next. So in general, we’re calibrating our eyes so they move around just as often as possible consistent with understanding what we’re seeing,” she said.

FIML works with information rapidly entering the working memory, much of which is visual. Psycholinguistic auditory information can also be received and processed very quickly. Consider tone of voice. FIML helps partners intervene in the processing of immediate interpersonal information in order to understand its deep psychological roots. The FIML technique is fairly easy to do if it is understood that the critical focus is on information that just occurred. ABN

NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman released from prison early to halfway house

NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman has been released early from federal lockup — less than 20 months into her three-and-a-half year sentence for playing a senior role in Keith Raniere’s twisted sex cult.

Salzman, 69 — who in July asked a judge to free her from prison over breast cancer concerns — has been transferred from a Hazelton, West Virginia lockup to a halfway house in Pittsburgh, Pa., according to federal Bureau of Prisons records.

Salzman had asked Brooklyn federal judge Nicholas Garaufis to immediately release her after she claimed she had been waiting 16 1/2 weeks to receive an MRI following a concerning ultrasound from March 23.

But Salzman was eligible for compassionate release on September 7 to either home confinement or a halfway house if she stayed out of trouble under the 2018 First Step Act.

Lithium discovery in US volcano could be biggest deposit ever found

A world-beating deposit of lithium along the Nevada–Oregon border could meet surging demand for this metal, according to a new analysis.

An estimated 20 to 40 million tonnes of lithium metal lie within a volcanic crater formed around 16 million years ago. This is notably larger than the lithium deposits found beneath a Bolivian salt flat, previously considered the largest deposit in the world.

‘If you believe their back-of-the-envelope estimation, this is a very, very significant deposit of lithium,’ says Anouk Borst, a geologist at KU Leuven University and the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. ‘It could change the dynamics of lithium globally, in terms of price, security of supply and geopolitics.’

New in situ analysis reveals that an unusual claystone, composed of the mineral illite, contains 1.3% to 2.4% of lithium in the volcanic crater. This is almost double the lithium present in the main lithium-bearing clay mineral, magnesium smectite, which is more common than illite.

2 years of compiled reddit data on vaccine side effects

It started when I began to notice a growing number of posts like the below on my timeline.

For almost 2 years I have been collecting screenshots from across reddit of vaccine side effects. I kept my focus on individuals under 40, who were previously healthy until about two years ago. I followed more and more relevant subreddits and began to search subreddits for keywords.

I began noticing post vaccination trends like period abnormalities, sudden onset endometriosis, myocarditis, heart palpitations: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eVV5xH2YUdBYBGpk8

I found a treasure trove of data – real stories of post vaccine experiences that were not being reported, or even remotely represented in the news. Reddit’s platform allowed me to find posts, look at users’ post and comment history, and return to their profile a year later to see how their symptoms were faring.

I have gathered over 8,000 screenshots now. 3,840 of those are of posts explicitly describing vaccine adverse reactions. Originally, my plan was to message the rest that alluded to their symptoms being post vax, I messaged 2,133 individuals before my account was banned. 1,707 confirmed that their symptoms began after vaccination.

What Can Megyn Kelly’s Adverse Reaction Teach Us About Vaccine Safety?

Exploring the science of vaccination and autoimmunity

There were three highly unusual characteristics of the COVID vaccines:

•From the start, they were highly controversial and opinions on them largely split along partisan lines.

•Despite the previous, they were eventually mandated upon the entire population.

•The vaccines had an unprecedented degree of toxicity, to the point so many were injured that the majority of the population is worried about their side effects, almost half of vaccinated American adults believe they suffered an adverse reaction, and half of America believes the COVID vaccines are causing a wave of unexpected deaths.

This in turn has understandably shaken the lifelong trust many Americans held in our institutions and also has created a tragic political situation for the vaccine injured. Since the left strongly endorsed the vaccines, admitting you had an adverse reaction is a direct affront to their tribe. As a result, many liberals I’ve talked to have told me they’ve had to stay silent about their injury or risk being excommunicated.

Likewise, in the medical field, because the faith in the vaccines was so powerful, stating you had an injury was viewed as being equivalent to medical malpractice since it might encourage others not to receive the life-saving COVID vaccine. For example, a California doctor who has treated thousands of vaccine injured patients frequently saw local nurses only discover their co-workers had also been injured because they met each other in his waiting room.

The psychological burden vaccine injured people in those industries face is thus hard to put into words—their bodies and lives are falling apart, no one can tell them what to do (or even how to fix it) and if they speak publicly, they risk economically blacklisting themselves. As a result, I know of many VIPs and celebrities who are vaccine injured and are being treated in private but are not going public with it as they are afraid of losing their careers.

You can read this image in many ways. From a philosophical, Buddhist point of view it’s always true. From a 9/11 point of view, it was the opening psyop salvo against the Twin Towers and the mindscape of the world which was deeply underscored by NIST’s fraudulent non-report and non-explanation four years later of why the Towers disintegrated, saying only ‘global collapse ensued‘ with no analysis whatsoever. Professional anti-science did not begin with covid, which is the most recent chapter in the war against the human mind, even more deadly than 9/11. ABN
