Important new info on Steele influence and disinformation operation. In transition, Steele operation transferred attention from DNC to McCain via Kramer. On Nov 29, Steele sent "intel snippet" to Kramer sowing discord on Sec State appointment. p66
2/ new drop contains multiple versions of FBI tracking matrix of Steele memos as they received them from all angles. Here is most comprehensive (p 50)
3/ p 51 - what are redactions and why? The attachments to Dec 15, 2016 email were NOT included in disclosure. Why. Agent says that he had "not seen the ne[w] [REDACTED]" but Pete [Strzok] had copies. New what?? Why on earth is this noun redacted? Why is subject partly redacted?
4/ p 68. There's a single instance in new drop in which Pientka's name isnt redacted: the suffix emails to Dec 13 email reporting receipt of Simpson's USB via "DOJ colleague". My guess on other suffix emails: three different Pientka emails (SIPR, SCION, and NIPR).

But now we're seeing Biden was elected [laughter], the traditional elite, the political elite, the establishment, they're very close to Wall Strret, so you see that, right?
Trump has been saying that Biden's son has some sort of global foundation. Have you noticed that?
I'm sure that others have noticed this. But it's interesting: on Jun 28, 2016, just as Comey prepares to "exonerate" Hillary, Strzok delivered all emails between Obama and Hillary to Comey - none of which appear to be documented in Clinton email inventory. p109.
2/ another interesting nugget. A Strzok text on Jan 27, 2017 about Flynn interview that AFAIK was NEVER produced to Flynn defense. Note how Strzok uncritically assumes that there was a "Russian offer of help"
3/ Form of Steele's assumption is toxic conflation of garbled Downer rendering of Papadop embellishment, combined with Steele fabrications pandering to FBI demand for collusion pornography - both literally and figuratively.
in Ontario, as in most jurisdictions, we were warned in early April of impending disaster in ICUs. In fact, overall ICU was dropping like a stone even as lurid overcrowding narrative was retailed. Media keeps telling scare stories about crowded ICUs. Released data only to Jun 30
2/ this data was very cordially provided by media contact at Canadian Institute for Health Information, which publishes voluminous information about Canadian health system. cihi.ca Given present policy concerns, I'd like it if they improved timeliness of key stats
3/ rather than hospitals being overwhelmed during intense spring COVID, daily surgeries fell to under 25% of 2019 levels. Burden on health system was not excessive overall demand, but, in case of surgeries, an unprecedented decrease in production. Data to Aug available next week
astounding article by excellent @antonioregalado which narrates how (Democrat) scientists delayed COVID vaccine approval in order to deny Trump election victory. They had no regard for how many lives were lost, people hospitalized or businesses ruined. But "follow the science".
2/ here is grab of tweet by Eric Topol celebrating that they had disrupted emergency authorization of vaccine that would have made it available four weeks ago. Dem scientists thus far have succeeded in at least 45 days of delay.
3/ vertical line shows date at which vaccine approval was on target for, delay of which Topol and Dem scientists celebrated. Since then US cases, hospitalizations and deaths have gone up sharply.
Ontario media is fretting over higher COVID stats. COVID hospitalizations now up to 645, well off the spring peak of over 1000, but we had been under 100 in August. But is this the serious strain on system as we're so often told?
2/ cihi.ca says that it has monthly statistics but they don't appear to be published anywhere. The most recent public data appears to be annual data for fiscal 2018-2019 (ending Mar 31, 2019.) Based on 7.6 MM hospital-days, daily occupancy is ~20,980.
3/ this figure is consistent with govt statement in April 2020 news.ontario.ca/en/release/566… which stated that Ontario had 20,354 acute care beds, planning 4,205 more by Apr 30, 2020 for pandemic, of which 2,811 now equipped with ventilators, up from 1,319 when outbreak started.
we are inundated with statements about COVID deaths, but how often have you seen charts showing COVID deaths in context of all deaths? Not very often, if ever.
I've done one for Ontario (where I live). Population 14.8 MM.
2/ All-causes death rates are ~2100. Total COVID deaths to date ~2500. Here is diagram showing COVID deaths (black) stacked with (estimate of) all other deaths.
3/ in Ontario (as with CDC), all-cause death data is appalling delayed. Thus, reported 2020 all-cause values substantially under-state eventual results. Data is updated monthly (latest Nov 26). Deaths trend up with increasing population; recent "decline" is reporting artifact
