The DarkHorse Podcast has been hit with a strike by @YouTube. It prevents us from livestreaming in the usual spot, Sat. at 12:30pm Pacific. They'll be surprised to discover that their censoring us has activated an army. We won't be intimidated or deterred. #FollowTheSilence
Steps you can take:
+ Subscribe to our channel youtube.com/BretWeinsteinD…
+ Follow @HeatherEHeying and me
+ Keep an eye out for announcements throughout the the day
+Retweet the anti-censorship hashtag #FollowTheSilence ('Silence' not 'science')
+ Spread the word!
One more thing: note the failure of the hashtag to autocomplete or trend. @Twitter appears to regulate this, making our point about censorship. Perhaps well deserved embarrassment will cause them to relent.
Hey folks, weird news. Despite clear blue skies and no wind, our power has gone out. We will therefore NOT be doing a DarkHorse livestream at 12:30pm Pacific. If power is back by 2pm, as predicted, we will revive the plan early this afternoon. Stay tuned…
Incredible. An economist delights in mocking the possibility that a cheap and all but harmless drug is responsible for *spectacular* reductions in Covid-deaths everywhere it has been tried. Why? Because other measures were also applied.
If there was no *other* evidence the drug worked, you would indeed have to wonder if it was a real contributor to the effect. But, in this case, there is LOTS of other evidence that the drug works, and a clear mechanism of action.
And there is LOTS of evidence that the other measures are inadequate on their own.
Consider this: lock-downs without this drug are likely to have multiple effects, some negative, decreasing spread BETWEEN homes and increasing it WITHIN--unless you add the drug as prophylaxis.
Events since Nicholas Wade's lab-leak article look different to people who were tracking the story over 2020. Everything "new" is actually not new. What changed is that the official narrative has been forced into acknowledgement.
This paragraph is from @SharriMarkson's report, in March, in The Australian. Why does the @WSJ story read like a scoop? Why was it treated as one? Why was Nicholas Wade's article treated as if it cracked the case?
The race is on to immunize the corrupt people and institutions that got the COVID's origin question upside down. @davidfrum pins the fault squarely on Trump who (violating the rules by being closer to right) forced the inherently good/correct people to double down on being wrong.
The most maddening thing about attempts to fictionalize the history is the way they assert: those investigating and publicizing the lab leak hypothesis were all Trump supporters pushing a wild eyed version of the "theory" until Nicholas Wade opened our eyes to the sober version
There's a hint of what likely happened in this. The establishment and their sources ignored the discussion (because they had higher priorities than their official titles imply) until Wade, Baltimore and Baric forced them awake. What occurred as they slept is taken as immaterial.
A *stunning* development. The letter says COVID-19 could have leaked from a lab. To some of us that possibility has been obvious for well more than a year. What is significant about this is the masthead (Science) and author list, which includes Ralph Baric science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
There are two labs at the forefront of the study/enhancement of bat-born coronaviruses. @Baric_Lab at UNC, and the Shi Zhengli lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Here Baric (along with other luminaries) calls for a proper investigation of the lab-leak hypothesis.
For one of two leading experts on these viruses and their manipulation to say the lab-leak hypothesis warrants investigation means it has been a plausible hypothesis all along. We must now wonder about every authority who swore otherwise, and every journalist who bought it.
So disturbing. @jim_rutt is a patriot, student of history and a complexity scholar--former Santa Fe Institute Chairman, organized Game~B to re-imagine governance and save the west from collapse, hosts the non-ideological 'Jim Rutt Show'. (Jim also coined the term "snail mail"!)
He has now been booted from Facebook--without explanation, being told there is no possibility of being reinstated. That is exactly what happened to me, and similar to what happened to @jgreenhall (Game~B founder, now like me restored to FB with unofficial, nonsense explanation).
Apparently Jim's elimination from Facebook came at the same time the two other admins of the Game~B Facebook group were thrown off.
The President encouraged supporters while maintaining formal deniability. Congress has the right and power to prevent him from seeking the office again. It should. Then President Pence should issue the pardons necessary to prevent political witch-hunting.
The nation is more important than any person. Our focus on Trump is unnatural—we have been drawn into his self-obsession, and if the Senate does not act, the next four years will become a cataclysmic battle between his tormentors and his disciples. The republic can’t afford it.
This is neither a ‘pro’ nor ‘anti’ Trump proposal. This is a non-partisan proposal to get our democratic republic out of a tailspin. Pardons would have historic precedent in the response to Shays’ rebellion. Alexander Hamilton describes the reasoning for it in Federalist #74.
