Week 41 2024 Excess Mortality Ranking

1. Kidney related = 35.0%
2. Cerebrovascular = 24.9%
3. Other resp = 22.2%
4. Lower resp = 12.8%
5. Heart related = 10.2%
6. Other ICD = 9.8%
7. Cancer = 7.8%

Notice that the Pull-Forward Effect in 'Heart related' is beginning to dissipate (~1% to 10% in a year), before diabetes and Alzheimer's. This means the aggregate excess death figures are going to rise over the next year.

Here is Chart 10 - Excess Sudden Cardiac Death

Here is Chart 11 - Excess Cancer Mortality in 0-54 year olds.

Voters, watch for this trick:

I just voted. New election, new trick. As usual, over the past 30 years, my name was not found, again, in the voter registration.

This year, they jumbled up my last, middle, and first names so that my name could not be searched.

But the poll worker searched for my first and middle names as my 'last name' (had seen this before) and found my jumbled up voter registration.

This, of course, was not accidental. The Party is corrupt.

This has been a chronic problem for my voting registration, such that I could never vote quickly during lunch because my record would not show up.

In the military and on overseas business, I never had my absentee ballot count, because 'signature mismatch'.

I just went into the voter registration system and tried to correct my name - the system said that my "identification did not match," and would not allow me to correct my own information.

I suppose that the good news is, they had to use new tricks this year for a reason.

Given a reasonable quotient of corruption, along with natural systems/records failure rates - in a precinct which uses a sophisticated voting and registration system, their votes will count 0.94 - 0.97 of a full vote as compared to a no-ID precinct.

AI will serve to remove the power of those who use subject matter trivia, club pro forma, and sequestration of resource material as a means of gatekeeping—their facade of 'expertise.'

This threatens academics in particular, who thrive on such pretense. This is the source of their indignation.

foxnews.com/us/massachuset…

Provided we do not make AI the new authority, this means that novel thinking, a skill in deductive reasoning, and an ability to prosecute a critical path of probative questions

...will finally be valued over mere appeal to authority/trivia.

Covid killed the Club Expert.

Remember that intelligence is not 'applied knowledge,' but rather a disruptive derivative of novel information.

Intelligence is the ability to contend: "I dissent, and here is what has been missing from the Narrative."

Anything short of this in terms of AI is simply a calculator, warmed over.

This is a reflexive limit to AI.

Person I know saw red aurora in South Georgia.

While these are related to my proposed ECDO Theory - perhaps a more salient framing is offered by Ben Davidson @SunWeatherMan - who explains the impetus behind these, as well as the potential cause behind my proposed ECDO itself.

The green (lower energy) banding is 557.7 nm excited oxygen emitting photons to return back to its base state.

The red (higher energy and altitude) banding is 630 nm excited oxygen emitting photons to return back to its base state.

Nitrogen does this as well (blue and purple), just we do not see it as easily.

However, we may have been warned by the ancients as to what extreme changes in the aurora may portend. The only consistent message we receive unfortunately, is that we are not allowed access to this knowledge.

We are too educated to actually know things.

Here is the summary and linking article to the three primary ECDO hypotheses.

Intendit (Intent is/does)

We have long held that the standard code features a degenerative symmetry. However, once we discover that what we have misinterpreted as degeneracy is actually a highly sophisticated symmetry, elegantly aligned with amino acid nucleon count—merely part of an advanced and concatenated symmetry that existed prior to evolution itself—the playing field changes monumentally and irrevocably. This is no longer an accident.

ChatGPT-4o almost gets it right, but it is close enough in plain English summary. This is below the Bridgman Point, but it gets most of the principle across:

"For a long time, scientists believed that the genetic code had a certain "degenerative symmetry," meaning that different DNA sequences (codons) could result in the same amino acid by what seemed like a random, redundant process. However, new findings suggest that this isn't just random or redundant at all. Instead, there's a highly sophisticated and precise pattern where the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in amino acids is perfectly aligned with the structure of the genetic code. This intricate pattern seems so advanced that it suggests a level of design that existed before the process of evolution even began. This discovery challenges the idea that this pattern could have happened by accident, fundamentally changing how we understand the origins of life.

This pattern is not just a coincidence; it's a deliberate and complex symmetry that was likely built into life from the very start."

Neither theist nor nihilist atheist will be happy with this observation however. As they are both wrong.

Take note, this code is not about evolution, as it instead concerns abiogenesis. Nor did it occur inside any domain of evolution. This is the standard code, a prerequisite upon which our DNA is based. So it could not have evolved, as there was no such thing as 'evolution' when it was formed.

However, the creator of this standard code was subject to the laws of the universe, just as are we. A very lesser god, as it were - using the tools of chemistry and distributed ledger warfare to conquer the cosmos.

It is amazing how many legal professionals lack critical language and deductive skills - and completely missed the precedent set by this case. This was not a case-specific ruling.

Justice Alito concurs in his dissent:

“What the officials did in this case was more subtle than [ham-handed censorship] ...Officials who read today’s decision ...will get the message. If a coercive campaign is carried out with enough sophistication, it may get by. That is not a message this court should send.”

And the "enough sophistication" bar is very very low in this instance. As we had three parties with clear sets of communication to intend harm to specific parties. Avoiding this litmus is achievable by even the most obtuse of Party Member in the future.

And here is the kicker:

If this case is re-filed so that a clear chain of standing (not simply 'standing' alone) is established, that IS case specific. A victory for the Plaintiffs in Murthy v. Missouri no longer serves to dispel the precedent the Court set here.

Even lawyers involved in the case itself did not comprehend the ethical question being answered here.

We are in trouble.

What the unskilled case presentation has done, is akin to 'overselling' in marketing parlance - by having your first product hyped too much and too far ahead of its skis, thereafter under-delivering, a company creates negative goodwill inside their brand.

This is why we have FaceBook and not MySpace.

The second mouse to the trap gets the cheese. But if the first mouse held the locus of human rights, and self-immolates, we have f---ked up for everyone involved.

This is why a strategy is essential in a critical path of prosecution. Not simply a bundle of correct legal principles.
