@mtaibbi the ICA is the key. Focus on Carter Page FISA has been Look Squirrel distraction. Steele info did not meet IC quality standards but included anyway because Obama (orally) said to include "everything", which McCabe used as authorization/instruction to include Steele fabrications
@mtaibbi 2/ many questions about ICA remain unanswered and even unasked. There does not appear to be any purpose for including Steele "information" other than to leak it. (as I recall) Strzok/Page speculated in early Jan on leaks from senior WH.
@mtaibbi 3/ was there any purpose in such a rushed ICA other than to boobytrap and undermine the incoming administration? Everyone involved is smart and cunning, so each step undoubtedly has a color of right, but net result of ICA was to commence resistance against Trump.
@mtaibbi 4/ in that respect, the insurrection beginning with ICA of Jan 6, 2017 was far more sinister than anything that happened on Jan 6, 2021.

@ReginaMourad @BarryMeier @HansMahncke @MonsieursGhost Meier talked to me. He discusses our Twitter work in a section of his book, but manages to get almost every nuance wrong. He's a good journalist but misunderstood our perspective almost totally.
@ReginaMourad @BarryMeier @HansMahncke @MonsieursGhost my initial reaction to @BarryMeier was over-focused on frustration with some unfairness to our twitter corner. To be balanced, I should also have pointed out that his critique of Steele et al (and I intend to read book) appears to be very severe in MSM terms.
@ReginaMourad @BarryMeier @HansMahncke @MonsieursGhost 2/ Meier pointed out that Steele's supposed role in Litvinenko affair had much inflated (just as his role in FIFA was.) The Litvinenko affair was a long-standing interest of his. Image

as Mark Twain and Satchell Paige said, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.“ Following what we were told was "the science" on droplets was a bad mistake. Precautions for droplets didn't work against aerosols.
here is fascinating story of how one scientist disentangled the role of aerosols in spread of COVID.
wired.com/story/the-teen…
there's an important moral to the distinction between aerosols and droplets in how to effectively forestall spread. Spending money on improved ventilation systems in a Hong Kong university as opposed to spending same amount of money on mass testing.

three weeks ago, when Ontario Science Table was in full volume doomcasting stratospheric exponential COVID, I surmised that a Gompertz top was forming and that there were grounds for optimism, becoming increasingly optimistic as doomsters became gloomier
my surmise that mid-April was Gompertz top seems to have been prescient. Ontario cases are now less than 50% of top of Gompertz curve, declining rapidly against all expectations of Ontario Science Table. Hospitalizations following with lag.
3/ in mid-Apr, Ontario govt @fordnation mostly resisted demands of public sector privileged academics for more draconian lockdowns and/or additional burdens on the local businesses upon whom entire economic burden of lockdown has been imposed, though they

imagine a citizenry which places a "high premium on data analysis and empiricism". Or which believes that "science is a process, and not an institution". Or which expects data used by policy-makers to be analysable.

Such citizens have long been hated by climate "community",
2/ the appropriate response of institutions should be to make the data available, improve their analytic and statistical skills, acknowledge errors graciously.

More or less the opposite strategy to the climate "community".
3/ we've also learned over past few years that institutions expect citizens to set aside their expectations of a "high premium on data analysis and empiricism" when it comes to diktats ("assessments") by intelligence community.

@TuckerCarlson had segment on JiaQi Bao's proposal that Hunter Biden appropriate the cash in Hudson West III after its parent company CEFC became insolvent, but closed by saying that they didnt know the outcome. Outcome was known before election.
2/ a Nov 3 article in American Conservative theamericanconservative.com/articles/exclu… pointed out that all the money in Hudson West III was embezzled by Hunter and Uncle Jim.
3/ the article even drew attention to JiaQi Bao's proposal to Hunter to appropriate the money (thp unfortunately her name and colorful association with Hunter wasn't discussd.)

on Apr 16, as Science Table proclaimed doom, Ontario govt adopted annoying but irrelevant outdoor rules. To universal condemnation by Ontario media and COVID establishment for being inadequate and irrelevant. @fordnanation was right not to over-react to SciTable doomcasting.
2/ as on previous occasions, Ontario Science Table's projection was wildly wrong. In only 2 weeks, actuals are at 50% of levels predicted under the draconian measures not adopted and 25% of predictions under "weak" (not exactly) measures that @fordnation continued.
3/ although cases are a fraction of Science Table predictions, hospitalizations and ICU remain high (in Ontario terms). While SciTable like to point to some prior forecasts of high ICU levels, such forecasts were tied to forecasts with MUCH higher case numbers than experienced
