Adams lost but still hedges as if it had been a bet. People I know who did not accept the vax did not accept it because we researched it. The evidence against it was much stronger than the evidence for it. That alone demanded at least delaying getting the shot. By July of 2021 it was obvious the vaxxes were shit. Our position was never the weakest. With health, always err on the side of caution so at least delaying vaxxing for a few months was the obvious best analytical position. Even as he admits “defeat”, Adams shows he is either unable to think properly or he is so narcissistic he cannot take the full, actual, real loss he incurred. The future is not a roulette wheel we bet on. It was not our “heuristics” that won against your (shitty) “analytics”, it was our analysis which was better than yours. ABN
The documents say Moore and Andersen were members of a private organization seeking to “liberate the medical profession from government and industry conflicts of interest.”
In the allegations, the four destroyed at least $28,000 worth of COVID-19 vaccinations and distributed at least 1,900 doses’ worth of fake completed vaccination record cards. The court documents allege the fake vaccination cards were sold either for direct cash payments of $50 per person per occurrence or required “donations to a specified charitable organization.”
The court documents estimate the fake vaccination cards have a total value of nearly $97,000.
Moore and his co-defendants also allegedly gave children saline shots at the request of their parents so the children would think they were receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
“By allegedly falsifying vaccine cards and administering saline shots to children instead of COVID-19 vaccines, not only did this provider endanger the health and well-being of a vulnerable population, but also undermined public trust and the integrity of federal health care programs,” said Special Agent in Charge with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General Curt L. Muller.
Note that the Special Agent in Charge reportedly accuses them of not only “endangering the health and well-being of a vulnerable population, but also undermining public trust and the integrity of federal health care programs”—programs that have themselves demonstrably failed and deeply undermined public trust. Based on the information I have seen, Moore behaved morally by protecting children from state-sponsored harm. ABN
Dr. Ryan Cole of Idaho has until Jan. 30 to respond to charges from the Washington Medical Commission that he violated standards related to COVID-19 and patient care.
The statement of charges from the Washington Medical Commission says otherwise.
The Washington state medical board’s decision to charge Cole follows a lengthy investigation. It opened the investigation in 2021, in response to multiple complaints about Cole’s conduct in public forums about COVID-19; his disproven and unproven claims about the coronavirus vaccine; and his practice of seeing COVID-19 patients through a website that advertised a willingness to prescribe drugs that do not prevent or treat the disease.
“This has been purely Good Samaritan care for patients desperate for help that was not being offered elsewhere,” he wrote in a letter to the Washington Medical Commission last year. “… I provided free medical care out of a real attempt to help those in need.”
Bourla can and will legitimately claim that he was doing what the US government asked him to do and they knew all of it. Then the US government will legitimately claim it was following US DoD orders. Then the DoD will legitimately claim it’s all secret—national security. These claims are ‘legitimate’ in the sense that US courts will uphold them or refuse to hear cases about them. ABN
Ms Ardern told a press conference that she’d hoped to find the energy and heart during the Christmas break to stay in the job, ‘but I have not been able to do that’.
‘Once I realised that I didn’t, I knew unfortunately there was not much alternative other than to hand over now,’ she said at the Labour Party’s January caucus meeting in Napier on Thursday.
‘I am human. Politicians are human. We give all we can for as long as we can – and then it’s time. And for me, it’s time.’
I read as much as I could of this article. Ardern also said she wants to be remembered ‘as someone who always tried to be kind.’ I wish she had tried to be wise, intelligent, practical and reasonable instead. Anyway, I am glad she is gone and hope her evil twin Trudeau follows her very soon into never appearing in public life again. WEF-leaning neoliberals are the horror of Western civilization and the world. Ardern’s resignation from what I read contained no apology for her dismally failed covid policies. Instead it was entirely self-centered, all about her ‘tank’ being empty and her ‘giving all she could.’ I would respect her if she openly analyzed her covid and other failures and begged her nation and the world to forgive her and meant it. But these types never do that. ABN
I approve in this case. No athlete or anyone should risk health and career for an unethically forced medical treatment. For celebrities and politicians who supported the vaxxes and did this — and I bet there are many — not good. We know at least 200 in Congress used IVM. ABN
We must back people like this and Congressional bodies like the subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. Our enthusiastic support and unity for real efforts to help our nation are all we have left. If there is one thing I have learned from Jews and Chinese it is the importance of unity as a people, conscious unity and conscious support for that which helps your community. That is what we Americans need now. There is no need to add Jewish and Chinese Americans included, but in today’s world maybe there is so consider it added. The newly formed GOP-controlled House is showing real signs of wanting to do something. They need our support and need to hear it and see it. They are only human. Strong support, like courage, spreads and can win the day. It’s all we have left but it is also the strongest power on earth, as two of the world’s oldest societies have well-proved. ABN
The true enemy of a constitutional republic are the Mitch McConnell’s and Nancy Mace’s of the professional political class who build systems to undermine the will of the people under the pretense of representing them. These are the abusers, the professional abusers, the psychologically Machiavellian and inherently evil people within the system of power who operate on false pretense. They are smiley-faced fascists and liars, period.
We have seen delusion in governance and how it is contrived by people. Here is delusion of instinct and how it is contrived by people. This is a big piece of the deep fabric of human reality. What’s different today from ancient Egypt or wherever is many of the perps record themselves for all to see. ABN
I considered it. An easy way to avoid the [let’s call it a TAX to deter the continued throttling of my account].. A fake card would’ve enabled me to avoid the TAX while keeping my job – back to normal right? I could’ve bypassed my cancellation/lightning rod moment, (2/22)
which up until my statement about a previous TAX injury/informed consent – I was just some dude who played drums for that band you liked or hated or had never heard of.
But then I realized I would be asking my kids to lie for me, in fact one of them pointed that out. (3/22)
Because I wasn’t going to lie to them and tell them I got TAXed – which would’ve meant they’d have to lie for me. What an enormous burden to ask them to carry on my behalf so that I could go back to a life that had always left them behind. (4/22)
And then my wife said to me something I’ll never forget: “You’ll be teaching our children that it is ok to deceive for acceptance and that there are opportunities which hold greater value than our integrity and well-being.” Damn. (5/22)
She continued, “if we don’t speak up we will be isolated, silenced. And how will we find our people?” Right, we’d have to smile and pretend we were ok with what was happening. (6/22)
This story is worth looking at. There is a weird morality in these people but very poorly thought through. They are able to see the bad side of capitalism but not the good side and not the bad side of what they are doing. ABN
There are nine justices on the Washington State Supreme Court. Only one is a white man.
There are, in various combinations, seven women, four non-whites, three Jews, two lesbians, a member of an Indian tribe, and a black immigrant from Trinidad. The chief justice is Hispanic.
This riot of diversity is handing down rulings that openly discriminate against white people. Last summer I did a video on its ruling in State v Sum, which explains that certain kinds of evidence can be used against a white criminal but must be thrown out if the criminal is non-white.
Displaying some of the most insufferable logic imaginable, four Republican senators voted against reinstating military members who were discharged for refusal to get vaccinated.
Apparently, according to the logic provided, Congress can select the location for the military to engage, select the weapons they can use, select their commanding officers who will lead their engagement, select the method, manner and purpose of their deployment…. yet, when it comes to requiring vaccinations, Congress must defer to military leadership.
Apparently, the concept of “civilian lead military oversight,” does not apply when it comes to forced COVID-19 vaccination. Sorry, but these Republican senators are intellectually dishonest idiots.
The vaxxes were widely used as a loyalty test to the usurpers who now occupy our government. My sense is Collins is a ‘useful idiot’ to the cabal while Romney is a real player. ABN
For just $5,000, students can buy their way to acing English exams.
Watching through a camera, a proctor monitors a Chinese student taking an English exam. Sitting in a Beijing living room, the student appears to be taking the test seriously. They frown during the listening session, as if trying hard to think about the answer. And for the written portion, their arms move about, with the tapping of a keyboard being heard.
But the student wasn’t typing anything. They weren’t even looking at the screen. Sitting next to the student, just outside of the camera’s field of view, was 34-year-old Tony Wang. As he’d done for dozens of students before, Wang was answering the questions by typing on a wireless keyboard, sometimes while eating barbecued skewers. For the speaking portion, he’d type the answers on an iPad or a smartphone for students to read out. And students who couldn’t speak English at all would silently move their lips while Wang invisibly spoke aloud the answer on their behalf.
[All of the below is Dorsey’s blog on how he thinks Twitter and social media should be operated. I have bolded some sections in addition to the few places he bolded. I completely agree with what Dorsey is saying and hope all readers of ABN and in the world read what he has written. I have taken the liberty of posting his entire blog post here to ensure we have a copy of it. ABN]
There’s a lot of conversation around the #TwitterFiles. Here’s my take, and thoughts on how to fix the issues identified.
I’ll start with the principles I’ve come to believe…based on everything I’ve learned and experienced through my past actions as a Twitter co-founder and lead:
1) Social media must be resilient to corporate and government control. 2) Only the original author may remove content they produce. 3) Moderation is best implemented by algorithmic choice.
The Twitter when I led it and the Twitter of today do not meet any of these principles. This is my fault alone, as I completely gave up pushing for them when an activist entered our stock in 2020. I no longer had hope of achieving any of it as a public company with no defense mechanisms (lack of dual-class shares being a key one). I planned my exit at that moment knowing I was no longer right for the company.
The biggest mistake I made was continuing to invest in building tools for us to manage the public conversation, versus building tools for the people using Twitter to easily manage it for themselves. This burdened the company with too much power, and opened us to significant outside pressure (such as advertising budgets). I generally think companies have become far too powerful, and that became completely clear to me with our suspension of Trump’s account. As I’ve said before, we did the right thing for the public company business at the time, but the wrong thing for the internet and society. Much more about this here:
jack@jackI do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct?12:16 AM – 14 Jan 2021
