When they blame climate change on YOU – remember, 47% of globe was shut down during 2020 Covid – represented mostly by the ‘capitalist West’ – ironically at that very same time, the Earth underwent its largest CO2 PPM increase in 45 years…

We cut global liquid fuel consumption by a whopping 16% – AND (drum roll)…

CO2 PPM went up by a 45-year record amount during this exact same time – jumping right where it does every year, like clockwork.

Reality was mocking our global-socialist masters.

It is never really about 'science'.

Do we need a new theory of evolution?

A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream evolutionary theory needs an urgent overhaul. Their opponents have dismissed them as misguided careerists – and the conflict may determine the future of biology

Strange as it sounds, scientists still do not know the answers to some of the most basic questions about how life on Earth evolved. Take eyes, for instance. Where do they come from, exactly? The usual explanation of how we got these stupendously complex organs rests upon the theory of natural selection.

You may recall the gist from school biology lessons. If a creature with poor eyesight happens to produce offspring with slightly better eyesight, thanks to random mutations, then that tiny bit more vision gives them more chance of survival. The longer they survive, the more chance they have to reproduce and pass on the genes that equipped them with slightly better eyesight. Some of their offspring might, in turn, have better eyesight than their parents, making it likelier that they, too, will reproduce. And so on. Generation by generation, over unfathomably long periods of time, tiny advantages add up. Eventually, after a few hundred million years, you have creatures who can see as well as humans, or cats, or owls.

Humanity must learn to think in terms of complex systems, not ‘define problem, calculate answer’ zombies any longer

I highly recommend his linked essay: The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril). The many problems in government reasoning during covid—including gross overemphasis on computer models—should be enough for discerning minds to see that much of the “reasoning” supporting climate change policy is every bit as bad.

“The Russians have placed the Ukrainian military in an unsolvable tactical dilemma that they’re not likely to resolve any time soon. The effectiveness of this is manifest. Ukrainian casualties are heavier than ever and the Russians aren’t under time pressure to finish”

Time to talk about tactics, and specifically about how the Russians have adapted theirs to present the Ukrainian military with an unsolvable tactical dilemma rather than any kind of a fair fight.

This is what smart militaries do.

Massed force only goes so far in war. Used ineptly the only thing it produces is a lot of casualties.

Competent commanders refine their tactics to ensure victory. Ideally you want to present the enemy with not just a solvable problem but an unsolvable dilemma.

The immuno-epidemiological consequences of the mass vaccination experiment – summary – Geert Vanden Bossche

For the past two weeks I have been working on a document summarizing my conclusions on the immuno-epidemiological consequences of the mass vaccination experiment.

The result of this is even more frightening than I had predicted. I’ve, therefore, appended a summary of my manuscript by way of ‘tsunami warning’.  

In a nutshell, here is what I am 100% certain of:

The current SC-2 pandemic is still expanding as it is a pandemic of ‘more infectious’ variants and is thus enhancing the susceptibility of vaccinees to infection (infection-enhancing antibodies) while diminishing the susceptibility of the unvaccinated (infection-mediated training of innate cell-mediated immunity).

In the pre-Omicron era, we saw more infectious variants becoming dominant; however, thanks to the neutralizing antibodies, vaccinees were still protected against disease. However, with the advent of Omicron and its growing resistance to neutralizing antibodies, vaccinees became more susceptible to infection; what we are now seeing is more virulent variants becoming dominant  (Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5[1]). however, thanks to the virulence-neutralizing antibodies (which are the same as those enhancing infection at the upper respiratory tract!), vaccinees were still protected against severe disease (e.g., in case of BA.1 and BA.2). I’ve no doubt, however, that with the growing resistance of BA.4 and BA.5 to the virulence-neutralizing Abs, vaccinees will now rapidly become more susceptible to virulence.  

…When the ratio of the vaccinated to unvaccinated people in the age group 10-60 years old, who are hospitalized because of Covid-19, starts to rapidly increase, we will know that the super C-19 pandemic has begun. That’s the most sensitive criterion!

On the Lancet paper: “Those people can also model that it would have snowed in Amazonas”

1/ Here is my review of the @ojwatson92 @azraghani Lancet GIGO paper which has nothing to do with science.

Forecast what did not happen. With models that failed to predict anything.

Those people can also model, that it would have snowed in Amazonas.

2/ The easier explanation is: The VE have little to do with reality. Also the post cohort matched data is still confounded. We can see a proof on this confounding in the Dutch mortality all cause data: The magic effects on all causes of deaths? Magic? No, but confounding.

A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics

Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.

“This is completely new and very much simpler than anything that has been done before,” said Andrew Hodges, a mathematical physicist at Oxford University who has been following the work.

The revelation that particle interactions, the most basic events in nature, may be consequences of geometry significantly advances a decades-long effort to reformulate quantum field theory, the body of laws describing elementary particles and their interactions. Interactions that were previously calculated with mathematical formulas thousands of terms long can now be described by computing the volume of the corresponding jewel-like “amplituhedron,” which yields an equivalent one-term expression.

“The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling,” said Jacob Bourjaily, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University and one of the researchers who developed the new idea. “You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.”
