The Great Debate That Will Not Happen

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

There’s another expression we’ve all heard: “You can run, but you can’t hide.” Well, in our surreal New-Normal times, apparently the experts and authorities CAN run and they can hide. That’s what they’ve been doing for 40 months and, as far as I can tell, they’re all still in power. So that strategy is working perfectly.

Sharing and Collecting Covid Stories: For Those Who Were Burned  

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We all must have a few stories like mine that motivated our decisions. Some made under extremely coercive circumstances. Others made for the hope of a better future. My husband and I became lockdown refugees, moving to another part of the country where we restarted from zero.

The Game Is Rigged Against Small Business 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Locally, a microbrewery failed; the owners talked to the newspaper about bad timing. A pizza parlor closed. A cafe was closed for two years. A well known, well-respected family physician sent out a letter to his patients that he couldn’t afford the forced COVID accommodations and shut down his practice. A one-of-a-kind multi-million dollar surplus store decided to sell everything and close rather than sell to another generation.

Assange

Julian Assange and the War Against You

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It did not begin three years ago. The groundwork for the censorial technocracy we face today was laid with a series of targeted hits that created enemies of the state. They did great things for the public well-being but were brutally punished for it. To this day, these people languish in an imprisoned state, martyrs for the freedom we once took for granted and the rights we hope to regain.

Why Did the UK Government Waste £4 billion on the Innova Lateral Flow Test?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

These tests were proven to be ‘not fit for purpose’ with the FDA having significant concerns about their performance, which had not been adequately established. In addition, ‘labelling distributed with certain configurations of the test includes performance claims that did not accurately reflect the performance estimates observed during the clinical studies of the tests.’

Wikipedia

Was “Philip Cross” an AI?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Will future campaigns to control Wikipedia narratives rely on this technology? What is the future of a crowd-sourced knowledge base such as Wikipedia that depends on the high cost in human time and social interaction of making an edit to a controversial topic when the ability to automate this makes it close to free?

Those Silly Dads on TV 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Watching this non-stop line of messaging you’d almost believe there are some powerful people out there in media-land who fantasize quite actively about a world without men, or at the very least, a world in which 49 percent of the culture would come to feel tentative and a little stupid about exercising the roles they have played in all healthy societies since the beginning of time.

World Health Organization

An Unofficial Q&A on International Health Regulations

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The WHO has become a tool of those who would manipulate us for greed and self-interest. In previous eras, people have stood against those who sought to exploit and enslave them, reclaimed their rights and saved society for their children. What we are facing is not new; society periodically faces and overcomes such challenges.
