I agree that this article is from the point of view of "Big Brother is watching." In defense of ET, I find them willing to publish a wide range of points of view, so not full-on pandering to an agenda like American and most UK and Canadian media.

They know that bribing illegals with the goodies will improve the chances of their crooked representatives being elected in spite of the majority knowing better. Ask any naturalized citizen what they think of illegals and you will find them not too happy with illegals.

I guess you are a fan of Alexis de Toqueville, who accurately predicted the failure of our Constitutional Republic, because eventually the dumber half of the IQ curve tries to vote themselves all of the goodies, and the power-hungry progressives are only too happy to oblige, not a bit concerned that the gravy train must end soon as the means of production eventually disappears, as it has in every socialist nation in history, because the power hungry always end up in power, and end up with the vacation homes or dachas, no matter what system. Those of who understand the unique value in the original Constitution, watch in horror as we are ignored, our Constitution is shredded, and the greatest nation on Earth is reduced to a banana republic.

TimTuolomne replies on Jun 13, 2020:

@ramzpaul, The Constitution was designed to operate in triumverate to oppose those is power, thereby preventing controlling interests to prevail - the only governance in history to make the character of the personalities in office somewhat irrelevant. Totalitarianism in socialism, fascism, Communism, and Monarchy - among others, depend on a benign human personality to provide justice. Anyone with any intelligence knows that we are all corruptible eventually, so the best system is a Constitutional Republic. But that does not prevent corruption from prevailing. As you point out, if the people are lawless, so will be politicians, and the Constitution will be worthless. This is a condition foreseen by our forefathers, who noted that a public ignorant of the Constitution will eventually fail its defense.

Moving away from that frequency is a very good idea, and that is what the designers of 5G have done, as well as verifying the theory with some very well done studies. Either none of the conspiracy theorists have noticed those technical facts, or they are intentionally ignoring or hiding them from you.

They founded the KKK, which is the secret militant intimidation division of the Democrat party. Almost all KKK members were and are Democrats. They hide behind hoods. So calling themselves "liberal" is simply another deception. Deception is second nature to the Democrat leadership. So when it became unpopular for Democrats to be known as KKK, they attempted to claim it is a Republican institution. The dumber half of the IQ curve in the US will believe anything.

@wutthafuk. Think about it. The Democrats are comprised of two groups: The gullible utopian base, who is the dumber half of the IQ curve, or so emotionally undeveloped that their intelligence is unavailable to them. They are desperate for someone to tell them what to think. The Democrat leadership is a wholly different group of voracious power mad people, who are glad to pander to the base, in every way necessary, including intimidation, deceptiveness, fraud, and blaming their opposition of everything they themselves do. The Democrat leadership reasons that no matter which system they are in, they will rise to the top of the power heap. (And if voters don't hold them accountable, they will!) Their utopian base wants socialism, which the Constitution prevents, so the Democrat leadership does what? That's right, they try to destroy the Constitution to make their base happy. And if you check you'll find hundreds of decisions, regulations, laws and ordinances proposed and voted into law by Democrats since 1942 - some of them illegally, so that we are now functionally ruled by a massive Federal bureaucracy, and no longer protected from the government by our own Constitution. They have no problem destroying the only system in history that could actually protect your rights from the government, because they know they'll be at the top of a socialist government.

Unfortunately, "flattening the curve" means extending your exposure time. I have written to my reps and the President about how flattening the curve is increasing the risk to those with pre-existing conditions because the virus is not allowed to pass as would the flu, in a few months. Now it will be months longer. There could not be a better demonstration that no matter how well meaning are our leaders, they are not up to the task of making medical decisions on our behalf, and should have left it to medical professionals on the ground (not WHO or CDC, which are political organizations.)

And how did they fare WRT the WuFlu?

TimTuolomne replies on May 31, 2020:

Geneticists who have analyzed the gene sequence of SARS COV2, which causes COVID-19, are confident of three facts: 1.There are no markers which are unavoidable when genes are spliced (engineered). 2. The forensic path clearly shows a very old gene sequence consistent with a path through bats found in China, but no where near Wuhan. 3. A much more recent forensic path in the gene sequence of the virus shows that it went through the pangolin before jumping to humans. http://virological.org/t/the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2/398 The R-nought value of SARS COV2 is 5.7 in 2.5 days, which tells us that the entire globe was exposed to the virus long before the West was even aware of its existence in China.* And that means social distancing and masks were an attempt to prevent exposure that had already happened. https://www.healthline.com/health/r-nought-reproduction-number Furthermore, 99% of those the virus kills are smokers and people of any age with serious pre-existing conditions. Its possible that the remaining 1% also have pre-existing conditions that are undiagnosed. This is why populations with high concentrations of smokers and illnesses, like Italy, have higher mortality rates than countries like Sweden. The numbers are still consistent partly because of the unusually long latency of SARS COV2. And partly because other things are still getting them. See "Multiple Conditions Increase Risk." https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/covid-19-coronavirus-infographic-datapack/ So with a case base that could be 2000 times greater than reported right now, that makes the virus 2000 times less dangerous - far less than the common flu. SARS-COV2 is less dangerous to healthy people than driving. Not a very effective biological weapon. Doctors think no disease should be acceptable. And as medical doctors, they may be ignorant of the consequences of political decisions. Does COVID-19 kill people? Yes. The same people who doctors like Dr Fauci should expect to be taken out by the flu and pneumonia, etc, because of other infirmities, every year. 2,046,549 people died in the US last year of all causes except suicide. Around 110,000 are now listed here as dying of COVID-19 in the US, almost all of whom could have been listed as dying of their pre-existing conditions. Are the Chinese making the most of all of this? Of course they are. They are pretty good at strategic planning, but it doesn't mean they orchestrated this, sorry. Creating a vaccine will be futile if it mutates, and this source asserts it has already happened. Do we want to destroy our nation waiting to find a vaccine that is effective? https://www.theblaze.com/news/scientists-say-theyve-identified-mutated-covid-19-strain-and-issue-a-dire-warning-about-new-contagion So ...

TimTuolomne replies on May 31, 2020:

@TyKC, No I am not saying that. Human nature is to mercilessly destroy the rights of others. Those willing to condemn others demonstrate that perfectly, and verbal condemnation is the foundation of violence. That's why humans need institutions: to protect ourselves from each other. Any institution that protects us from each other must to some degree set restrictions, limiting our freedom. Socialist, fascist and monarchy tend to be the most tyrannical. Constitutional Republicanism in its original form was the least restrictive of freedom in human history, because it relies of a triumvirate of branches which balance human fallibility, prevent impetuous and opportunistic governance, and prevents any single interest from gaining a foothold. But any system that limits human freedom - even for our own protection, is still administered by humans, and can't be perfect. And there are human forces in our system in the US who have been systematically pulling the legs out from under the Constitution since 1942, and that has driven us squarely into more tyrannical socialism, as humans will do. (Can you guess which party is doing that?) So expecting safety among humans without governance, or perfect freedom with governance is pure fantasy.

Intelligence is unavailable to those who are in fear. And fear can exist in otherwise intelligent and functional people when trauma has preceded their maturity, and firmly cast their belief systems in such a way as to harness whatever intelligence they may have into service of that belief. For those on the neurotic side, counseling can often bring them around to a less fearful life. For Axis II types, they are perfectly happy as they are in their little belief kingdoms, and seldom benefit from counseling. I do my best to stay distant from them.

TimTuolomne replies on May 30, 2020:

Although I have done some reading of the philosophies founding other religions, I won't claim expertise in any. However I am convinced that the Holy Bible calls for faithful Christians to unconditionally accept other's free will to choose or not to choose Christianity and love them as they love themselves regardless - just as God loves us in spite of our flaws. That is actually the "Great Commission" of the New Testament - our current call to Christians, and clearly says it is the greatest of all the commandments. Romans 5:10. "For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" I apologize for Christians who are not familiar with this central part of Christianity. I was one of them for many years, until the gently loving correction of more well grounded Christians led me to study Scripture a bit more intentionally. And I encourage you to research each religion thoroughly enough to be certain in your mind and heart of exactly what they are - not what people say they are. I have experienced that almost no one knows what they are, except those who have studied the subject carefully, such as theologians. And they are a treasure trove of knowledge. I have learned to my satisfaction that there is a fundamental difference between human beliefs and the reality of God. The reality of God does not care who wrote each philosophy, such as Islam or Buddhism - each written by one man. Those might as well be editorials written by any "journalist" today about how to live one's life. But they are more about human cultural beliefs, and have little to do with who God is. The Holy Bible was written by dozens of witnesses to the life, death and resurrection of Christ. So it is a history, written by those almost all tortured to admit they made it up, and none ever did, under the pain of death. There is no equivalent - nothing even close, in any other religious philosophy. And just as I may have done more harm than good in the name of Christianity when I knew much less about it, true Christian faith can never be destructive. "Religions" are human institutions, no different than exclusive clubs or corporations. They may or may not be about a relationship with God.

TimTuolomne replies on May 25, 2020:

@Header, Gates was worth 63 billion before any trace of philanthropy - well beyond any question of security or comfort, hundreds of times more. Genuine philanthropists always give, whether or not they command a lot of wealth. A man who is destitute and gives $1 is far more generous than a billionaire who gives a million. And the Gates foundation was clearly founded for the advantages it provided in appearances as he developed his agenda requiring the approval of the Left, which he was completely opposed to as a young pushy entrepreneur in the days when he stole the program he re-named "Windows" from Steve Jobs. And his family's association with Planned Parenthood, eugenicist Margaret Sanger's brainchild, that served as the inspiration to Hitler's biological experiments with mostly Jewish prisoners, should inform everyone about his control issues that go far beyond the Constitution - including his association with Jeffrey Epstein's eugenic's institution. Also, developed countries are now experiencing negative population growth, and soon scientists may have a more pressing issue about how to prevent population declines that will inevitably cause massive economic decline. Gates ignorance of this seems to indicate that his wealth and power far exceed his understanding of science. If he actually believes that a vaccination is warranted against a virus that is deadly only to those who would die in any given year of the flu or pneumonia anyway, he is even more dumb than I suspect. If he does understand this, he is even more dangerous than I suspect.

This is why alot of people don't trust the CDC.

TimTuolomne replies on May 25, 2020:

@73jazzbass. I'm not sure I can persuade you of what I believe is true, but I'll try. First, don't assume that the number of reported deaths is of any value. In any other year, almost all of them would have been recorded as heart disease, tuberculosis, diabetes, cancer....as well as the flu. Notice how few flu deaths are reported this year. For political or whatever other reasons, almost every death from any cause is being recorded as COVID-19. Secondly, if you understand that an Ro of 5.7 in 2.5 days means that the entire World was exposed to SARS-CoV2, which causes COVID-19, before New Years Day 2020, except highly isolated enclaves, like islands with no flights. And except for Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, almost no other countries started responding to the undefined threat until around the 1st of February. So that means the base is probably more like the population of the World. Most researchers are beginning to suspect this when they now say they think the base might be 80 times the reported cases. I believe it is far higher than they report, but are unwilling in this political climate to admit. Thirdly, the data clearly shows that unless you are a smoker or have some serious pre-existing condition, you have less than an 1% chance of the virus killing you. So a very small number of deaths actually attributable to the virus - especially in healthy people, and a very large number of asymptomatic cases. What numbers would you use?

@iThink, good point. It could be Islam. The stated purpose of Islam is to displace or kill all non-Muslims. And it is possible that the media is again attempting to hide the possibility that Islam is a direct threat to Western Constitutional Republicanism. I believe it would be a good thing to deport every single Muslim who is not willing to publicly denounce Sharia Law, and still to deport any at the first sign that they are practicing Taqiyya. Satan is Allah, the Principality of the Air, and Mohammed was his disciple. Islam is the word for "submit." The "religion of peace" teaches its followers to lie and murder, making peace a lie, only justified when no Christian is left. Only then will those followers of Islam realize their fate to never again see the face of God. We will see them finally in despair unknown on Earth and mourn for them.

@purdyday, Yes. Smith-Mundt Act in 2012 was an extension of a law passed in 1948, ostensibly to battle with Communist propaganda throughout the World, and was barely appropriate in that era for a Constitutional Republic - justifying violating our principles because they did not exist in the World outside the US. The revision in 2012 increased the power of the government to disseminate that information WITHIN the US. That should have been seen as a direct threat from the government against Americans of our freedom of information, but by then the socialist Deep State was well-entrenched in Congress and the majority of judges, so it could happen, against the wishes of Americans.

The Left would have done it any day, except for the Constitution and Conservatives preventing them. As soon as an "emergency" gives the excuse to ignore the Constitution, and Conservatives agree, they just do what they always felt was right.

@avan16. True it is not yet communism, because government does not yet own the means of production. But your statement is conveniently silent about the number of communists now in the government there. I find that dishonest.

They are just plain fucking deluded.

I always think i would love to ask one of these mindless drones, do they say what they say cuz they are told & paid too? or are they actually as brainwashed and so deeply programmed that they actually belive in the agendas and twisted propaganda they push?

TimTuolomne replies on May 20, 2020:

I've attempted to reason with hundreds of them, and every one of them believes that I am delusional and/or evil because I fail to see the value in their utopian vision. I am not delusional as a matter of professional opinion (not mine) and I do believe utopian "vision" fails to reflect a basic awareness of history, or is delusion which assumes that it can be different this time.

@Pand0ro Definition of socialism: The state controls industry and commerce. Definition of Constitutionalism: The state only protects citizens rights from the government, and regulates interstate commerce. Definition of communism: The state owns industry and commerce. From these definitions it should be obvious that the US and China are roughly equivalent semi-socialist countries which have economies that are supported by limited capitalistic freedom. The lockdown under threat of force in the US proves it. Some Scandinavian countries are doing relatively well, but many economists argue that has little to do with their respective systems, which are very much like the Great Britain, and not very much different than ours, now that Obamacare (unconstitutional) is the law of our land.

@RoscoNovaro, with all due respect Rosco, no, all frequencies do not affect biological entities. Just asserting it is so doesn't make it true. If you've worked with microwaves and other energy transmission mechanisms, as have I and measured them, and know the experimentation, your statement that "it's held up with facts and data" in not a fact. Don't let the Left manipulate you like that.

No, I am not the person in the middle. In 1957, 116,000 people died of the flu. Crickets. Today 92,000 probably would have died from the flu, but this year we are calling it COVID-19. How many flu deaths this year? Right. None. Am I taking COVID-19 seriously? Yeah, just like I took the flu...

TimTuolomne replies on May 19, 2020:

@2peros. I sympathize, as my Dad is 92, and I am staying away from him for now, but this is no different than it has been forever. Convalescent homes have far different health standards for that very reason. However reason has nothing to do with turning the whole World into a convalescent home, when the data clearly shows that 99% of those the virus kills are those with serious pre-existing conditions, and I submit that the remaining 1% are those merely with undiagnosed pre-existing conditions. See "Multiple Conditions Increases Risk" https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/covid-19-coronavirus-infographic-datapack/ There is no good reason for us to be social distancing or using masks. While it seemed like a good idea at first because we were unsure what we were dealing with, now it is clearly being continued by the Left purely as an excuse for greater government control and to discredit their opposition: the President and Republicans.

TimTuolomne replies on May 18, 2020:

@Pedro-M-Lopes. The answer is almost entirely about the media. In a study referenced by the interview below with Victor Davis Hansen, 93% of the media were found to be biased politically. https://youtu.be/UgQcmFyAKjk?list=PLKDm1nJ92oev6PIXA1hDzX5go8UWDt_Op That was taken by the media as a green light to abandon any pretense of balance. But the consequence was that most outlets went out of business or were bought by leftists because they were so untrusted by the public. Leftist groups poured money into them but many still found that the red ink was becoming difficult to fund, and pressure mounted to find sensational stories. When Taiwan announced the virus in December, the media found its sensational story and poured their hearts and souls into it as if their livelihood depended on it, because it did. The second shoe to drop will be when the data becomes known about the virus in detail, and the media credibility drops even more. Expect the media to anticipate this and attempt to prevent the true data from surfacing. Here is some information about terrible death rates in the past, in which the media did not react the same way: https://www.statista.com/statistics/860406/number-of-fatalities-due-to-flu-pandemics-united-states/

@Pedro-M-Lopes. Our "plague" is similar, except that when you realize that 80,000 people died in the US in 2018 from the flu, the media didn't say anything, and we didn't shut anything down, you understand that this is pretty much all fear and no plague compared to Nasrudin's plague.

I have been kicked off of Facebook for publishing stuff like this, because their "Fact checkers" claim my post is wrong. I have checked, and their Fact Checkers are not accurate. To post this, you'll have to select the text on my post by holding down the clicker as you sweep from bottom to top. It should turn blue. Then hold down the Ctrl button and press C. That should copy the article. Then go to Facebook, click where you want to paste it. Then hold down Ctrl and press V. That should paste it there. I don't think they will allow it very long.

That is why you have to be critical of everything... and every one here agrees until you start talking about religion and suddenly everyone becomes stupid.

TimTuolomne replies on May 16, 2020:

Those who fail to use their intellect, and instead defer to the natural judgmental nature of humans, are demeaning themselves, and justify their critical nature as if it is intelligence. It is not. In addition, the Left has discovered that encouraging everyone to act without restraint of those lower impulses, tends to assist them in tearing down society, giving them the excuse they need to be the remaining salvation. Those not smart enough to see through that will imitate what is now called "woke" behavior, and unwittingly assist in the destruction of civil society.

TimTuolomne replies on May 16, 2020:

@tracycoyle. Scripture commands to render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. People intend to be good, or don't intend to be good. Government is people. I have trusted sources, which I am confident reflect the truth. Once someone lies to me, I tend to avoid them, and that includes most of the media, and almost all of the Democrat leadership. But unlike the media, I don't assert lightly that someone has lied. I know it for certain. In addition, the Bible calls for justice, and in Christ we have freedom, according to Scripture. This is not unlike the Constitution, which protects our individual freedom FROM the government. The Republican platform is to protect the Constitution, and many Republicans actually do that in their actions. They do what they promise. The Democrat platform promises all things to all people, so it is almost by definition a lie. In addition, Democrats founded the KKK, a truly evil organization, and to this day it is populated almost exclusively by Democrats. When they finally realized that founding the KKK was a liability in the 60s, Democrats also tried to spin it that it was a Republican organization. Another lie. Many things Democrat leadership actually does, including blaming Republicans for much of what they do, are not in their platform. And judging by group is not only against God, it is against our Constitution. Frankly I not imagine the amount of self-deception required for any individual to accept the lack of principles the Democrat leadership offer. Liberalism is a term appropriated by Democrats as part of their intention to deceive. Classic liberalism comes from "liberate," to set free. Democrats actions prove they are about bigger government and socialism, both are at the expense of individual freedom. So the term "Democrat" is also a deception. I call those who choose to call themselves Democrats: Leftists, or socialists, not liberals.
