A Florida high-rise that collapsed early Thursday was determined to be unstable a year ago, according to a researcher at Florida International University.
The building, which was constructed in 1981, has been sinking at an alarming rate since the 1990s, according to a study in 2020 by Shimon Wdowinski, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment.
When Wdowinski saw the news that the Champlain Towers South condominium in Surfside collapsed, he instantly remembered it from the study, he said.
“I looked at it this morning and said, ‘Oh my god.’ We did detect that,” he said.
Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say

Karl Denninger: The Jabs Must Be BANNED
… in those under 18 and strongly discouraged in healthy adults under 50.
Those who promoted them in people under the age of 30 in addition must face justice. There was never any science supporting it on a risk:benefit basis.
The CDC documents about 35 total Covid-related deaths in people under the age of 18 years all the way back to March of 2020.

Bad information processing led to bad decisions on covid
My guess is most readers of this site already understand what this article explains in academic detail. At least skim the link to be sure you know what the main points are. ABN
Prior research has identified three main information-processing failures that can distort group decision-making processes and can lead to negative outcomes: (1) failure to search for and share information, (2) failure to elaborate on and analyze information that is not in line with earlier information and (3) failure to revise and update conclusions and policies in the light of new information. To date, it has not yet been explored how errors and biases underlying these information-processing failures impact decision-making processes in times of crisis. In this narrative review, we outline how groupthink, a narrow focus on the problem of containing the virus, and escalation of commitment may pose real risks to decision-making processes in handling the COVID-19 crisis and may result in widespread societal damages.
Optimizing Decision-Making Processes in Times of COVID-19: Using Reflexivity to Counteract Information-Processing Failures
“Mutations show that the virus existed in China in 2018, Wuhan was just the last city to suffer an outbreak in China in 2019, then the rest of the world got slammed.”
This is important evidence that must be considered. It explains why China and surrounding regions had high prior immunity to covid. Click on the image above for a larger version that is easier to read. Click on direct link to go to the original Tweets.
UPDATE: Another interpretation of this data is not so much that Wuhan was the last Chinese city to suffer an outbreak but that Wuhan was the Chinese city chosen to stage a psyop (dead people in the streets, dramatic lockdowns, etc.) that fooled the world and led to dangerous imitations of policies that were not necessary and even counterproductive, thus greatly amplifying the bad effects of covid.

Good, short explanation of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE)
ADE can arise in several different ways but the best-known is dubbed the ‘Trojan Horse Pathway’. This occurs when non-neutralizing antibodies generated by past infection or vaccination fail to shut down the pathogen upon re-exposure.
Instead, they act as a gateway by allowing the virus to gain entry and replicate in cells that are usually off limits (typically immune cells, like macrophages). That, in turn, can lead to wider dissemination of illness, and over-reactive immune responses that cause more severe illness.

Meta-Q vs IQ
We need the term meta-Q which means “general meta cognitive ability,” or the ability to see the meta levels of several arguments at once including nuance and branch arguments.
IQ generally connotes being good at taking a test of reasoning, language, and some sort of abstract thinking.
People with high IQs probably also have high meta-Q. The advantage of adding this term is it distinguishes how arguments are presented and considered, how they are analyzed.
For example, mainstream medicine has usurped the meta-Q of virtually all covid reasoning. Fauci at the top either determined or became the spokesperson for what “the science” of covid is and no other view has been allowed. Literally hundreds of millions of people have been forced to agree with the irrational dictates of an irrationally narrow covid meta-Q. Big Tech aided and abetted this mockery of reason by censoring and deplatforming anyone who brought complexity and nuance into the prison yard.
The covid example is roughly the same with other issues of the day, such as election fraud, the January 6 “insurrection,” Critical Race Theory, equality of outcome, and so on. The country is divided because the meta-Q of public discourse is so low there can be no mixing of ideas, no synthesis, no rapprochement.
Magnates of meta-Q usurpation are most of the famous public “thinkers” in USA: Michael Shermer, Cass Sunstein, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Bill Maher, Fauci, Lakshmi Singh, famous actors, etc. These people are supported by editorials, talking-heads, politicians, terrible academics (most of them), and so on.
In private conversations, discussions always go badly when there are too many voices with low meta-Q training or ability in the room. Arguments become simplified and nuance is rarely acknowledged. Meta-Q is the ability to “see over” a problem, to see beyond the words, to what an argument is, how it was formed, what it will result in, how it moves through time, and what alternatives there are.
I am pretty sure most people could be trained to increase their meta-Q considerably and surely to at least know when it is called for and who is doing it well. ABN
Trump should distance himself from vaccines
Please reconsider your self-portrayal as “Mr. Operation Warp Speed”. By doing away with long-term safety tests for these genetic toxins, the government has horribly endangered the health and welfare of every man, woman, and child in America. Thank you for your service, and thanks for your attention.
Sincerely, Chris Langan
He’s not wrong. President Trump is still the greatest US President since Andrew Jackson, no question, but of all his failures, it’s probably his endorsement and encouragement of the not-vaxx that is going to be the most lasting stain on his record, regardless of what eventually comes out about the current political situation and the election fraud.
A reasonable request
Trump surely had good intentions but was used by the Deep State or whoever. The largest demographic not taking the vax are Trump supporters, none of whom blames him. Trump also bungled badly by trying to get out in front of the pandemic with daily pressers while allowing Fauci and Birx to promote their evil pseudoscience. Instead of trying to lead in that way, Trump should have called in the world’s top experts and with great transparency allowed them to discuss covid in public, openly permitting all viewpoints while also excluding or at least greatly marginalizing anyone with conflicts of interest, such as Fauci. If that had been done, we would have heard from McCullough, Kory, Yeadon, Bhakdi, and many others. Successful therapeutics would have been found and promoted even sooner by practicing clinicians and no EUA would have been granted for dangerous vaccines whose bad effects will be multigenerational. Trump can easily distance himself from his support for vaccines and should start doing so ASAP. ABN
AZ AUDIT UPDATE
“There should be both a strong vax & strong differential dose relationship. But there is none.”
1/4 I developed sensitivity relationship charts between the fall in U071 MCoD Covid Deaths and the admin of Vaccines by each US State from Dec 12 – Jun 5
Here are 2 states (FL & VA) with strong results. A strong differential relationship between vax and reduction in deaths.
2/4 However, there were states which bore a much weaker relationship between the timing of vax administration and the fall in U071 MCoD Covid Deaths.
These two states had already substantially recovered in large number or pct before the impact of the vaccine program.
3/4 So two questions broach. First, how did each state’s strength in sympathy between vax & death-reduction perform differentially by % of each state’s population with 1 or 2 vax doses.
There should be both a strong vax & strong differential dose relationship. But there is none.
4/4 But perhaps the sympathy rating by state bears noise. So the second question was simpler: Did the raw fall in U071 MCoD Covid Deaths bear any vax or dose-count differential relationship by US state?
Again these should both be strong relationships. But there is none.

Attorney General Merrick Garland Pre-Positioning Assets Against Looming Election Audit Results and Voter Data Forensics
The next war will not come from foreign soil, it is about to happen based on a great awakening in the heavily corrupt and manipulated voting system in the United States. The battle is about to happen right here on our soil.
BIG PICTURE – United States Attorney General Merrick Garland is pre-positioning assets from the DOJ and FBI [LINK]. Simultaneous to this, the U.S. military leadership is purging patriots and putting all service members under surveillance [LINK]. These two factual events are directly related.
In the background of these maneuvers Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative; and any truth-tellers are considered subversive and against the interests of the U.S. government. The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative. Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.
Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen.
