• what if biden dies

    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF to All on Mon Nov 20 15:05:13 2023
    So what do you guys think would happen if biden dies before the election?
    do you think kamala would take over? she's not smart enough for the job, but neither was biden. if she was smart she would say no. maybe she would just
    be a younger puppet.

    Next dude in line after her is mike johnson and he's a republican so democrats wouldn't want that.

    I'm going to be so surpised if biden actually survives and then RUNS again.
    I'm thinking biden will tap out at the last minute and they'll have a golden boy run for him. There won't be enough time to get dirt on him. then we'll have a crisis and he will end up looking good for a short time and democrats will vote for him and then cheat again as well.

    So i'm pretty sure one of these 2 things will happen. i know they are pumping biden full of a drug cocktail. i've seen him get the dementia angry spells lately too. dude is saying odd shit every time he talks. he's falling all the time.

    what the hell. get me off this planet.

    I mean... yes - I think she would take over and do a similar job as Biden has... but she would certainly lose ANY re-election.

    To be perfectly honest, I wish we had two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT options than Biden v Trump... I wish Biden would step aside already [freaking 10 months ago!] and push someone very strong. Not the CA gov, not RFK... Obama, Clinton - someone the young ppl and dems can get behind.

    And I wish Amerikkka would see that Trump was a joke the 1st time - and really isn't a great choice now. He's going to come in hot and heavy and give it 111% the entire 4 years - he's going to press things in ways we've never seen and if I were in his position I would too - but it isn't going to be great for America.

    I think we'll see another Biden v Trump, tho - and I think if the dems get voting like they did in the last they have a good shot... and if Amerikkka is pissed enough that we put Trump in again; hold on.

    Actually I was surprised about what a great job he did. He was an outsider and made great improvements. his problem was his mouth. he trolled his way to the white house and he continued to troll. now he's different. he's cooled his jets while destroying his enemies since he lost the election. He literally does not stop. He has been traveling just about every week making sure his enemies do not get re-elected and it's working.

    Trump showed that an outsider can do a much better job than career politicians. He did what obama thought was impossible, more than once.

    Trump knows how to deal with people and he knows how to run the country.
    We had no wars under trump. With everyone else we had wars.

    Furthermore, trump exposed how the media controls us and how pharm companies buy our politicians. he literally called people out about it to their face while standing infront of thousands.

    Dude's a force of nature. He doesn't drink or smoke. he sleeps a few hrs a night and eats junk food all day. Trump terrifies his enemies.
    They can't even shut up about him after he is gone. He's dancing around in their heads to this day.

    Not only that, Trump is the most tech savvy president EVER. Dude had burner phones to get on twitter after they took his phone away. Biden has like 5 people who have been named who post as him on social media. With Trump, that was that motherfucker doing it all.

    I don't even believe obama and his 'I can't live without my blackberry' story.


    Right now polls show that trump has great numbers. Nobody is happy with biden. We really don't have anybody else that are good candidates for the next election.

    I think our entire system needs to be gutted and redone. we need term limits for all positions in the govt. There's a lot of corruption. People that make 125-150k a year are fucking multimillionares.

    I think we should take all the politicians and hang them. They're total garbage.

    first off, lets point out that you are the dumbass who voted for biden.
    and now you're talking about trump tax increases and increasing debt.
    and mishandling covid.

    i am paying less taxes thanks to trump and the govt is taking less of my money each year that is essentially an interest free loan.

    what is the correct way to handle covid? we never dealt with anything like it before. he did what the experts told him to do. that's all he could have done.
    people are fools.

    The only thing we could have done to combat covid is to eliminate travel and let it run its course. nothing we did or could have done would have made any difference.

    futhermore, this 'insurrection' is laughable. it was essentially a guided tour with permission.

    i WISH there was in insurrection. there was not. and trump did not incite anything. we have a right to peaceful protesting.

    They could impeach him 1000 times. they would never have anything that stuck.

    So, why were you an idiot that voted for a racist, senile man who can be bought?

    yeah they called him a racist for suggesting it.

    regardless, covid was here sooner than we thought. I'm pretty sure it was
    here the previous year in oct-nov-dec. My friend got it in december and he was almost fired. We had a guy who died in early december. We're pretty sure he had it.

    usa and the rest of the world did not have an established gameplan for a pandemic despite having the swine flu and bird flu.

    So what Kurt said was basically the usual liberal mindless parroting with no facts. And then he's saying trump gave tax cuts to evil corporations. liberals think all companies are evil. where would we be without places to work?

    everything people did failed too. we all went to home depot and walmart

    if we would have eliminated international travel it would have made a huge difference.

    That being said people were traveling all over to other states and spreading it.

    The woman i live with couldnt stop herself from going to see her family once a week in another state even though everyone thought covid was the plague.

    we basically have no plan in place to stop the spread of a contagious disease. we still do not.

    there were some smart experts who said right away that peopel should all stick at home for 2 weeks and have covid starve out. then spend money on sending people covid tests and do contact tracing. they were canceled.

    First of all, in the global scheme of things, people who BBS from a comfy armchair are The Rich TM because they are already more wealthy than 90% of the world's population.

    I say this because a lot of people who are actually rich elites like to portraythemselves as poor, working class people, then vote against the interests of
    wealthy people and get surprised when it bites them in the ass.

    The only thing I am gonna add is that I have friends who used to own a home andeat three times a day during the Trump administration and no longer do in the
    current one.

    It is not The World going to hell, it is The West. I was scanning the stocks exchanges for new values to put my savings into earlier this week and it turns out lots of companies that are actually good value are getting bought en-masse by non-Western powers. This is a sign that Western powers are not strong anymore... when you are strong you buy other people's firms for cheap and make money from them. When you are weak you sell your companies because you need thecash now. Western exchanges have lots of stocvks that look shinny but when you

    I agree the current situation does not have a single responsible party, but theadministration in power at a given moment in time is responsible for handling
    it and deserves all the blame it gets when they do a lousy job dealing with theaftermaths or defending the set of past policies that tooks us to bad

    The vast majority of people who died "from" COVID actually died "with" COVID, not from it. And usually through hospital mis-treatment and/or poor health to begin with.

    The only way to know that you had "COVID" was to take a test that has an extremely high false positive rate. This was intentional to keep the "case" numbers high and give the Elitists excuses that the sheeple would accept.

    Increase in food prices and a housing crisis is the same in
    many countries despite who the leaders are.

    Maybe. Blame Nixon for dropping the gold standard, I guess.

    that was a odd one. that allowed banks to literally print
    money they do not have.


    once they did that, they took away the power from the people.
    we dont even know whats in fort knox. supposed to be 8k metric tons of gold. it could just be elephant shit in garbage bags for all we know.
    the us dollar is not backed by anything physical. it only means something because we say so.

    in the usa trump wrote a bunch of executive orders. that's how a president gets things done quickly. then when biden took over they gave him a big stack of black envelopes and he undid them all. he didnt even know what he was signing away.

    It is not The World going to hell, it is The West.

    There is some hidden truth in above. but also I'd say the west is transforming itself toward next era, while Chinese influenced Asia + Russia expands to Africa and South America to promote industrialism as a way to achieve prosperity. West doesn't give a fuck about industrialism as it's already industrialized and benefits products of industrialism for more than 100 years and all the goodies basically invented in XIX are not the way to grow anymore in the West.

    I believe West is more transforming than dying, but time will show.

    The only thing we could have done to combat covid is to eliminate travel and let it run its course. nothing we did or could have done would have made any fference.

    Which he suggested, but politicians of a certain party cried foul and would
    not let him.

    yeah they called him a racist for suggesting it.

    Yes, they did. Those same politicians were originally the ones who
    encouraged their constituents to get out and live normally, only to later
    claim that Trump didn't lock down fast enough.

    regardless, covid was here sooner than we thought. I'm pretty sure it was here the previous year in oct-nov-dec. My friend got it in december and he wa
    almost fired. We had a guy who died in early december. We're pretty sure he d it.

    We had some weird something sweep through one section of our office. Most
    of the people who went to the Dr got diagnosed as having "a flu" but we
    later wondered about it also. Luckily I was not in that section. We also
    had a lot of contractors in from another area of the country, and that
    section was the one that was most likely to be in closed door meetings with those contractors. So it could have been COVID or some other something
    that was not "native" in our germ pool.

    They were all pretty sick but none were deathly ill, except our manager.
    She got diagnosed with pnumonia. She was very sick, and also smokes, but
    was also young and pulled through... it just took her a lot longer than the others.

    usa and the rest of the world did not have an established gameplan for a pandem
    c despite having the swine flu and bird flu.

    Honestly, despite previous recent outbreaks of SARS, I believe most of the western world was very over-confident that it "couldn't happen here."

    So what Kurt said was basically the usual liberal mindless parroting with no f
    ts. And then he's saying trump gave tax cuts to evil corporations. liberals ink all companies are evil. where would we be without places to work?

    In some irony, many of the corporations that the liberals I know support
    with their buying power are some of the corporations that, while they may
    treat their employees real nice, are horrible corporate citizens when it
    comes to what they are up to in other, less-developed countries.

    So, in other words, they sound evil to me but being giant tech companies get a lot of profit out of liberal pockets.

    we never dealt with anything like it before.

    That's because 100% of what we were told about COVID was a lie.

    Not 100%. It was very contageous and did kill people, either directly, by worsening an existing condition, or by causing damage that eventually
    killed them.

    Those were all things that were warned about at some point, and early on.

    I say this because a lot of people who are actually rich elites like to portra
    hemselves as poor, working class people, then vote against the interests of wealthy people and get surprised when it bites them in the ass.

    Sort of like the ones that portray themselves as middle class people who
    are "suffering from Trump taxes" but also talk about the second (or more)
    homes that they own solely for recreational purposes.

    If middle class higher taxes put in place before January, 2021, are really affecting the middle class, I must be in a lower class than that. I only
    have one house or, should I say, one mortgage. I am at least able to pay
    that, so I thought I was middle but I must not be since I did not have any additional tax burdens put on me that were put in place before Trump left office.

    That being said people were traveling all over to other states and spreading it.

    Spreading a disease that was so bad that you needed to be tested to see if you >had it. A disease with a 98% recovery rate.

    You had to be tested because it mimicked other illnesses and, if you had a different illness (i.e. flu), they would actually know how to treat it.

    The vast majority of people who died "from" COVID actually died "with" COVID, not from it. And usually through hospital mis-treatment and/or poor health to
    begin with.

    The people I know who died "from" COVID did just that. They were not sick until they caught COVID and died.

    The people I know who died later due to damage done to their lungs from COVID did just that.

    I don't know any of the "with" COVID car crash or shooting victims but,
    yeah, I know they were also out there.

    And don't blame "the vax" because nearly all the ones I know who died from COVID had COVID before the vax was made available. Only one died after.

    The only way to know that you had "COVID" was to take a test that has an extremely high false positive rate. This was intentional to keep the "case" numbers high and give the Elitists excuses that the sheeple would accept.

    That could also be true, but doesn't mean that people didn't die from
    COVID. It only means the Elitists saw an opportunity to exploit.

    are you referring to vulture capitalism? there are other
    strageties to buy-up previous companies, re-branding and make
    the same industry thrive again.


    I am not talking about vulture funds.

    Vulture funds are all about buying firms that are crashed or nearly crashed forpeanuts, then refloat them and usually sell them at a profit.

    The operations I am talking about come from foreigners who buy healthy companies that happen to be a good value for the price.

    Lots of tech, EV and AI related companies have over-heated values. Everybody had the idea you had and bought them en-masse so the current stock price does not represent the current value of the firm. There are firms out there that would not be able to pay the money back to investors in 100 to 200 years from profits. If you buy from one of these what you are doing is praying the firm will be able to multiply their profits (if they have them, which many don't) enough to justify your expense. That, or you pray to find a moron you can sell the stock for higher than you bought it, i. you pray to capitalize on a bubble. --

    I believe West is more transforming than dying, but time will show.

    Once you are at your highest, any road you take will lead you down.

    Western Europe at least has transitioned to become service economies. Nobody wants to dig ore in a mine when you can sell coffee in a pub.

    The issue is if you have a stash of money you use to buy industrialized products and prime matter from elsewhere, and your economy is based on local services, you are screwed, because you will end up running out of money your providers want to accept eventually.

    It doesn't help that a lot of the services we run are artificial or are services created in response to limitations we have created. A lot of accounting offices exist only because it is nigh impossible to navigate ever changing tax regulations.

    I am not optimistic because we have historical precendents of what happens whena culture becomes so rich it can make other cultures work for them in exchange
    of money while the rich culture sits on their lazy asses. It usually ends badly.

    It is interesting how as time goes by, the "start date" for when things went wrong is also brought forward. For example, in Australia, we've had a housing affordability crisis for well over a decade, but quite commonly when people talk about the crisis, they think it started just 6 months to 1 year ago.

    jab" was available than I do of ones that died of "the jab." I only know
    of one that died of "the jab" and they had a pre-existing condition. Their
    Dr. thought getting it was better than not but was wrong.

    They also got the J&J jab which caused so many issues they quit giving it.

    BTW, using your "from/with COVID" logic, they actually died of their
    condition WITH the jab, not FROM the jab (although I disagree with that
    logic).

    That could also be true, but doesn't mean that people didn't die from COVID. It only means the Elitists saw an opportunity to exploit.

    No, sorry, that is not correct. The Elitists may have spouted all sorts of incorrect stuff about it after it got to the US, but it was another SARS outbreak that eclipsed its predecessors. SARS <> Influenza.

    time.

    I did say "many" and not "all." Our issues with increased utility and fuel prices, the latter of which also caused food and other commodities to
    spike, does indeed trace back to the time period I mentioned. The
    Inflation Rate as a whole hit its height after that point.

    OTOH, the affordability of housing may have been going up before then here, too. All I can say there is that it has got worse since early 2021.

    Speaking of bringing dates forward, the early 2000's housing (and economic) crisis in the US actually started at least in the late 1990's. Most bring it forward to paint the political picture they want painted, but a lot of the market instability (and government/business/financial practices that lead to it) started before 2001.

    One of the factors that started it all (just one of many) was the dot com bubble burst. That burst happened in 2000 and caused a crisis in
    California (especially) where people involved had spent money (that didn't exist) on large homes and other big ticket luxary items. Once they started defaulting on their loans and/or losing their non-existent money, it affected the whole country. Investors beyond Silicon Valley lost their money.

    Here, where the cost of living is usually low, the housing prices spiked
    much higher than they were worth in 1998-99 and houses stopped moving. They eventually eased back towards what they were worth during the early 2000s.

    Because several of the companies initially affected by the burst in Spring
    2000 didn't go out of business until 2001 and after, many get confused and think (or purposefully claim) that everything was great until January, 2021. The fact that the collapse was caused by events put into motion during the mid-1990s is lost on them.

    Because the flu <> COVID. The precautions turned out to be good against
    the flu but not so much against COVID. Also, and this is big, the flu is generally seasonal while COVID was not. People who let their guard down
    once the weather got better, who mistakenly thought it was seasonal, got
    sick. That was just about the time when more contagious variants took hold.

    You'd think that by taking these precautions both would have dropped.

    Not when only one of them is seasonal, and when people got lazy when the
    usual flu season was over.

    The fact is that COVID was just the flu and they simply changed their diagnose
    to inflate the COVID case numbers.

    Nope. COVID does cause flu-like symptoms, but so do many other diseases
    that are also not the flu. These include malaria, hep C, lyme disease,
    rabies, polio, dengue, and several bacterial infections. None of these are caused by the influenza virus.

    These died before.

    People die from the flu every year.

    They don't die in the same numbers every year like they were dying of COVID.

    No, sorry, that is not correct. The Elitists may have spouted all
    sorts of incorrect stuff about it after it got to the US, but it was another SARS outbreak that eclipsed its predecessors. SARS <> Influenza.

    SARS was another nothingburger

    While SARS was a nothingburger for most of the world, it was not for the
    areas it affected. Luckily, back then, the US government was able to take measures to limit travel to the affected area, and therefore exposure,
    without near as much resistance as they encountered in 2020. So, here in
    the US the impact was minimal.

    and, yes, it's the flu.

    Nope. Like many other diseases that cause flu-like symptoms, it is not caused by the influenza virus and is not the flu.

    This "COVID didn't exist" theory is even farther off the mark than the "COVID was man-made" mantra, which might actually be true if it came from the lab instead of the wet market.

    Perhaps I should be more clear.

    Yes, COVID does exist. But we're talking about the standard Elitist play:
    1. Take a fact.
    2. Build a false Narrative around it to push your agenda.
    3. When people point out the Narrative is false, point to the fact and call them a "denier".

    Yes, since you've been claiming until this point that it is the flu, being
    more clear is probably a good idea.

    "COVID" is 99% false Narrative. The only part that was true is that there's a
    germ. Everything else about it is false.

    I won't disagree that many built a narrative around it, including crap
    about "we cannot control the spread by restricting travel to the most
    affected area (i.e. China)" despite that being proven effective with the last coronavirus epidemic. That was spun this time to be "racist" because our politicians are even more owned by the CCP than they were 20 years ago.

    The fact that there was a narrative built around it doesn't mean there was
    no pandemic, that people didn't get sick, and that people didn't die from coronavirus.

    If anything, we have a "narrative" of crap that mostly assisted Democrats,
    and an equally false "anti-narrative" that has been embraced by others.

    They tested people with no symptoms but they still had "COVID".

    You can be a carrier/spreader of many diseases and never show symptoms yourself.

    Wow! COVID had a lot of carriers then. That's strange.

    But that also implies that COVID wasn't as "dangerous" as the Narrative said i
    was.

    You can test positive for flu, TB, and many other diseases without having symptoms. With some of them, you may not be able to spread them without symptoms but with others you can.

    They always said it was not as dangerous to people who are perfectly
    healthy. However, they also told us a healthy person who was exposed, but
    did not show any serious symptoms, could spread it. They also said that infected persons who had yet to show serious symptoms, like the high fever, could spread it before developing a fever.

    I am not optimistic because we have historical precendents of what
    happens whena culture becomes so rich it can make other cultures work
    for them in exchange
    of money while the rich culture sits on their lazy asses. It usually ends badly.

    I'd say this has already happened many times, call it slavery, feudalism, whatever.. money, food, shelter.. there were always lords and peasants.. these times are just calling the ladder with different terminology.

    I'd say there is no peak time now. just a milestone. What I find interesting that many people haven't noticed or don't comprehend is that we're now shifting between historic eras. They are usually connected to some major economic crisises and armed conflicts as a natural follow-up that can also change many borders and just like 100 years ago with two World Wars and Great Crash in the 1920s we just experience similar thing, we just don't have another WW yet...

    But that is still not the major era change I think of. Basically end of XX century and the high-tech revolution causes something similar to Industrial revolution from the end of XVIII century.. what then happened in XIX century is called industrialism.. and then what we maybe still like to call a modernism is just very well developed industrialism all of us were still born in.

    In the industrialism who had the machines and factories and was responsible for the production lines was the richest and the most influential.

    Now we live in the informational not industrial revolution and the richest and the most influential are those who possess data and know how to use it.

    And this is just the beginning.. so I don't believe that production of physical items will be the most important thing while the biggest economic value defined by today commercial value is connected services attached to already produced items.. this way production without these services generate no value and that's the dependency link.

    Ai + Robotics, Metaverse... continual redevelopment of communication technologies and interactive media are the tools to control habits.. not a bulb with a switch to have the lights..

    I don't care about the mass production that much if many things massively required yesterday, today can be 3D printed at my local scale and need easily and without all the factory/assembly line defined complexity.

    I believe global knowledge transfer management and local micro production is what may very soon come back as a part of the trend. And again who controls the information flow will redefine financial aristocracy in the XXI century and beyond.

    Nope. The flu is caused by the influenza virus. SARS and COVID are caused by the coronavirus.

    They are the same and have always been.

    Nope. They are not the same, juast as influenza is not the same as the poliovirus or the measles virus.

    SARS-related coronavirus was first identified in 2002 and resulted in
    an epidemic of Severe Accute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) which, ironically, was originally brushed off as "just another influenza outbreak."

    Are these the same "experts" who told us that COVID was a deadly disease?

    Probably a different set. My impression was that the persons brushing it
    off as the flu were just as likely to be family doctors, or persons who had the virus who didn't bother seeing a doctor because "it was only the flu," as
    they were to be "experts."

    Not when only one of them is seasonal, and when people got lazy when
    the usual flu season was over.

    But COVID is seasonal. It only happens on election years.

    It has only happened once so far, and it extended beyond the election year.
    The epidemic caused by its cousin SARS, OTOH, didn't happen during an election year (2002-03).

    Now, if you were to ask if I believe that one side capitalized on it
    happening during an election year by initially blowing it off as nothing
    and then jumping on the other party's president when he made similar
    comments, I would agree.

    Nope. COVID does cause flu-like symptoms, but so do many other
    diseases that are also not the flu.

    1. You have assumed that the information you were given is true. It's not. 2. You have assumed that these "viruses" (none of which have been shown to exist) "cause" the disease.

    No I don't assume that. You can find the information supporting that it is
    a virus, that people died from it, etc., from sources beyond the Democrats
    and the Elite.

    I don't "assume" viruses exist because I have an education.

    Virology has been debunked and we now know that we have been fed a pile of lie
    for a long, long time.

    Since when has virology been debunked? Sources?

    Knowing now that you don't believe in viruses makes the fact that we are

    People die from the flu every year.

    They don't die in the same numbers every year like they were dying of COVID.

    Yes, they do.

    Annually they do not. Only when we are experiencing a flu epidemic or pandemic do they do so.

    The COVID "death" numbers are completely bogus.

    Not completely. Yes, if I die in a car crash, test postive for COVID, and
    get counted in the numbers, that is bogus. I have seen no reliable sources that prove this was nearly as common of an occurance as someone
    becoming very ill with severe respiratory problems, testing postive for
    COVID (as would be expected), and dying.

    Yes, since you've been claiming until this point that it is the flu, being more clear is probably a good idea.

    And all you've been doing it quoting the false Narrative.

    And all you've been doing is quoting the equally false anti-narrative.

    1. There was no pandemic - that was part of the false Narrative.

    Nope. There was one. How it was handled by the WHO was incompetent, and
    how many US (and other) politicians spun it was irresponsible, but that
    doesn't mean it didn't exist.

    2. People got sick, but the question still is "Was is COVID?" Remember that the test used is completely bogus.

    Nope. For some it might have been a question, especially if they decided
    not to seek medical attention, but for others it was not.

    Some of the initial tests, just like the J&J vax, were indeed not so
    accurate. However, autopsy results don't use the same test that live
    people were administering to themselves.

    3. People died from their own heath issues and not because they got a mythological "virus".

    Explain then how persons without any previous respiratory health issues,
    and who didn't even smoke, died from a "mythological virus"?

    And yet very few people get polio now. I am assuming this is just because we've all been lucky and not because they were able to determine it was caused by a virus and were eventually able to successfully treat/prevent it?

    Yes, you do assume that. The "information" out there is from sources that have been proven to be incorrect and pushing an agenda. Now whether that agenda is from the Elitists has not been proven, but it does seem to go along with it.

    Since when has virology been debunked? Sources?

    I suggest starting with "Virus Mania" by Torsten Engelbrecht, et al.

    Knowing now that you don't believe in viruses makes the fact that we
    are still discussing this make more sense.

    You've overly simplified my position.

    Do viruses exist? I don't know. They've never been able to isolate one.
    Do viruses cause disease? Again, I don't know since they've never isolated one and shown that its introduction causes anything.

    I'm not the one who is insisting that the flu and COVID are viruses that cause disease. So it's not on me to prove anything. It's up to you and the "experts" to do that.

    Nope. There was one. How it was handled by the WHO was incompetent,
    and how many US (and other) politicians spun it was irresponsible, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist.

    No there wasn't. It was 100% Narrative to give Elitists an excuse to make the sheeple let them do things they normally wouldn't allow.

    Nope. For some it might have been a question, especially if they
    decided not to seek medical attention, but for others it was not.

    Then explain why it was insisted that they had COVID when
    1. COVID was never isolated (which is required to create an accurate test).
    2. COVID was never shown to be the cause of the disease.

    Some of the initial tests, just like the J&J vax, were indeed not so accurate. However, autopsy results don't use the same test that live people were administering to themselves.

    The creator of the "COVID test" publically stated that the test doesn't work for finding out if you have COVID.

    Explain then how persons without any previous respiratory health
    issues, and who didn't even smoke, died from a "mythological virus"?

    Well, let's see. We'll use my mom as an example. No respiratory health issues. Years of working in a beauty salon with women who smoked and lots of hair spray. Jees, could that be why she has COPD? I wonder.

You will also see that the decrease in polio cases was in no way changed by the introduction of the vax. (I do have to take that back a bit. For a short period, the vax actually increases the polio cases.)

    What is very interesting is the graph of the use of heavy metal pesticides. As they increased in use, polio cases went up. And when they decided to get rid of them, polio cases went down. And today, we don't use them.

    From the article:

    However, the first argument relating to isolation is not true. There are multiple examples of scientists isolating SARS-CoV-2 (here, here, here,

    the complete genome (here, here, here). Pictures of isolated SARS-CoV-2 particles have been released by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy

    Nope. They are not the same, juast as influenza is not the same as the poliovirus or the measles virus.

    And none of them have been
    1. Isolated.
    2. Proven to cause disease.

    For all intents and purposes, they are the same.

    Poliovirus was isolated in 1909. Not only has it been isolated, its genome
    has been sequenced, and its structure has been determined. It has been determined to cause polio.

    Multiple strains of influenza have also been isolated. Influenza mutates,
    and there are multiple strains. Influenza strains have been shown to cause
    the flu in multiple animals, mostly mammals and birds.

    The coronavirus that causes SARS was isolated before 2003. That year, it
    was also shown that monkeys infected with this cornonavirus developed the
    same SARS symptoms as humans, proving that the virus causes SARS.

    The coronavirus that causes COVID has been isolated, sequenced, and its structure identified. Several partial snipits from interviews that have
    been circulated on the internet that claim otherwise have been debunked by multiple sources.

    Yes, you do assume that. The "information" out there is from sources that have
    been proven to be incorrect and pushing an agenda. Now whether that agenda is >from the Elitists has not been proven, but it does seem to go along with it.

    So they've been out to get Trump since 1909 and before? That is when some
    of the earliest "information" in question was determined. That is a long
    time to be pushing an agenda, especially since Trump was yet to be born in 1909.

    What is very interesting is the graph of the use of heavy metal pesticides. As
    they increased in use, polio cases went up. And when they decided to get rid >of them, polio cases went down. And today, we don't use them.

    But yet, people (who have not been immunized for the poliovirus) still get polio, even though "today, we don't use (heavy metal pesticides)." Heavy
    metal pesticide exposure may have caused multiple issues, including ones
    with similar symptoms and outcomes, but they don't cause the poliovirus or polio.

    I'm not the one who is insisting that the flu and COVID are viruses that cause >disease. So it's not on me to prove anything. It's up to you and the >"experts" to do that.

    If we provide you with proof, it will be dismissed as "the narrative" (as it already has been dismissed) even though much of what is known about viruses (excluding specifics about COVID) long proceeds the 2020 election.

    Basically what we have here...

    (1) An Event took place.

    (2) Members of Group A used that Event to their benefit, mixing in some
    false information in the process. Some of that info was "what was known"
    that was later found to be false, and some if it was likely on purpose.

    (3) Members of Group B have decided that since Group A lied/mislead/were
    wrong about some of the information spread about the Event, everything that
    was said by anyone that matches anything that Group A said is also wrong.
    This includes many facts that were known long before the Event.

    (4) These same members of Group B only listen to and believe sources
    (equally faulty) that support their belief that everything said by Group A
    is false, even when it comes to facts that were known long before the Event.

    Saying it is on us to "reprove" things that were long ago proven (i.e. influenca is a virus that causes disease) is like telling us we need to "reprove" that the Earth is round just because some left-wing politician said it was round so others have now decided that, because they said it was round, it must be flat.

    I believe West is more transforming than dying, but time will show.

    Once you are at your highest, any road you take will lead you down.

    Western Europe at least has transitioned to become service economies. Nobody wants to dig ore in a mine when you can sell coffee in a pub.

    The issue is if you have a stash of money you use to buy industrialized products and prime matter from elsewhere, and your economy is based on local services, you are screwed, because you will end up running out of money your providers want to accept eventually.

    It doesn't help that a lot of the services we run are artificial or are services created in response to limitations we have created. A lot of accounting offices exist only because it is nigh impossible to navigate ever changing tax regulations.

    I am not optimistic because we have historical precendents of what happens whena culture becomes so rich it can make other cultures work for them in exchange
    of money while the rich culture sits on their lazy asses. It usually ends badly.

    In Spain for instance there was a big industry of coal, but burning it has no future.
    In the Southern coast everyone and his cat wants a job related to bars/tourism. We'll see how 'well' does that work with the climate change. And no, the North of Spain is not a tourist haven because, well, the Brits and Germans don't want to get
    the literal same climate they got in their countries.

    I wish my country was more like Torres Quevedo/Ramón y Cajal and less than a real-life RPG
    of a Monopoly board where the main industries are Tourism and Construction related.
    Because in a few years, the Mediterranean coast in Spain will have hurricanes similar
    to the Florida ones in the US.

    Wait, what?

    *** Propaganda deleted ***

    If you actually dig into the documentation the virology hoax pretty much along the lines of:
    1. We took someone who showed symptoms and took some of his juice.
    2. We then injected that juice into the blood stream of someone who didn't show symptoms and now he shows symptoms.
    3. Oh, here's a pretty microscopic picture of the first guy's juice with some things in it. We assert (without evidence) that those things are the viruses. So it must have been those that caused the symptoms.
    4. And we have lots of people who we didn't inject the first guy's juice into, but we can see that they they have the things too, but they don't show symptoms. So we are going to call those people "asymptomatic".
    5. And why some people show symptoms, but don't have the first's guy's juice in them, and no microscopic things, is still a mystery. But they have the virus too because they show symptoms.

    We can excuse Louis Pasteur and the people of his day because they simply didn't have the equipment and controls then. But today, we should be able to isolate a virus and demonstrate, with controls, that exposure to it causes the symptoms. The fact is that they've never done that. Ever.

    I just blocked the fool. obviously there was a virus that a sect of the scientific community were playing with in china and it got out. I had covid twice and it's nothing i've ever had in my life. It didn't come close to killing me but I know several people who died of it. In my life I never had so many people I know die of the same illness in such a short timeframe.

    You only need a quarter of a brain to understand that covid does exist, most people have got it and not even known it, it kills some people and does weird things to some people's bodies like nothing else(blood clots and heart issues). It also shed light on the fact that we are not prepared for any type of biological threat, and such a threat spreads quickly.

    Luckily there were strains that were super contagious and less life threatening that basically allowed enough people to get anti-bodies to starve out the bad strains of covid-19. Now there's one that's been around since late summer that leaves some people with chronic bronchitis for a period of time after beating it.

    The weird thing is I've only been sick a handful of the time for decades. I'm 46 and I have not had the flu since I was 18. Now I get everything. I'm sick right now with a cold.

    And, once again, you missed it.

    I am saying we can trust the experts. The problem is that we need to use some critical thinking skills to understand who is or is not an expert. We have too many NPC's walking around with no real education, but with a bogus degree and title.

    An expert is someone who will put his sources and argument out on the table and invite you to examine things and ask questions - that will be answered.

    A so-called "expert" is someone who won't let you see the sources, won't put an argument out there, and will tell you to just trust him because he's an "expert". And how dare you question or disagree with him.

    So it should be pretty easy to determine who is and is not an expert today.

    If he got lots of time from the Propaganda Ministry... er... Mainstream media, then he's not an expert. If he got "fact checked" and blocked on social media, he probably was.

    Obviously you are gullible and bought the propaganda. I have a bridge in New York that I'd like to sell you.

    I had covid twice and it's nothing i've ever had in my life.

    You were told you had COVID and, due to your gullibility, were already primed to be overly sensitive about the symptoms. I suggest you look up the word "hypochondriac".

    It didn't come close to killing me

    Because it was just the common cold or flu.

    but I know several people who died of it.

    You know several people you were told died of it. Without any evidence.

    My offer on the bridge is still available.

    In
    my life I never had so many people I know die of the same illness in
    such a short timeframe.

    Yet many of us never knew anyone who died of COVID, or even with COVID.

    You must hang around with a great deal of unhealthy people.

    You only need a quarter of a brain to understand that covid does exist,

    No one ever claimed it didn't.

    Again, you've fallen for the standard Elitist tactic:
    1. Pick a fact.
    2. Build a false Narrative around it.
    3. When someone says the Narrative is false, point to the fact and claim "denier".

    Facts:
    1. COVID was never isolated.
    2. COVID was never shown to cause infection.
    3. The PCR test that showed that someone had COVID was 100% bogus.

    most people have got it and not even known it,

    So you now admit that it's not a problem.

    it kills some people and

    Hmmm... Just like the seasonal flu. And you can look that data up on the CDC web site. Since you trust the CDC, that shouldn't be a problem.

    does weird things to some people's bodies like nothing else(blood clots and heart issues).

    That's the jab for those people so stupid to get it.

    It also shed light on the fact that we are not
    prepared for any type of biological threat, and such a threat spreads quickly.

    And you are still pushing the false Narrative that only the gov't can protect us against scary things.

    2. Stop heavy drinking.
    3. Eat healty.
    4. Exercise.

    Was I and my family better off from 2016-2020? Are my family better off 2020-Current? I can honestly tell you that from 2016-2020,we were better off than we are now. The groceries that I bought, just checked out the same thing I got from April 2023 a few days
    ago and there was a $20 difference (and i had a $2 coupon).

    Biden voters will never tell you anything good about Biden and will always shift over to Trump.
    Trump voters won't STFU about the good that he did during his term and laugh at Biden's mishaps.

    I see some disparity here. Trump did a lot of good for our country, despite being hounded every day for "Russia".

    Biden can't be bothered to ask questions about his son's indictment, which is probably what Trump should've done was

    My combined utility bill is the one I am feeling the most. I can buy
    cheaper substitutes for most other things, but that is somewhat of a
    monopoly so it is difficult there. It has gone up at least 33%, and that is with me conserving on some things more.

    and I can somewhat control how much I drive (and I don't live in

    the press made a lot of money off trump.then when he was gone there was a huge >oid. for some reason they don't really point out how bad biden is most of the >ime. i wonder if their masters want biden in power. no i dont wonder. >that's what it is.

    Although I don't doubt your conclusion, it could also be that Trump always provided them with some new sound bytes to go on about. Reporting yet
    again that Biden has mumbled, stumbled, or got lost while walking off a
    stage becomes old news after a while. It is more news now when he is completely coherent.

    if someone asks joe biden a question he either walks out or he gets sundown an
    y and says something stupid.

    his pres secretary runs off too.

    IMHO, she is worse than Biden. She holds press conferences where she
    should be answering questions. At least Jenn Psaki tried to answer them,
    even if we maybe didn't like the answer, but this lady closes down pressers
    on a regular basis when she doesn't like the questions asked.

    Multiple sound bites of Biden mumbling and stammering and being incoherent have been in the news. These are a couple of examples:

    Thanks. Nopants sort of proved my point. It has happened so much it is old news now and Nopants had no idea it has happened, and multiple times.

    It might be growing up in New York and drowned in sarcasm for 49 years of my life but I'm fairly certain that he was looking for clips of Biden speaking coherantly .. :) Just my .02 .. peace
