    Gott’a say when the choice came down between taking a not thoroughly tested vaccine, against the chance of ending up on a morgue slab, I chose the vaccine.
    Later in the epidemic I did get Covid, and yes, I did have a miserable week with the symptoms, but I skipped the morgue, so I reckon that I came out ahead.

    "Not thoroughly tested..." according to whom?
    COVID19 is a SARS variant.
    You remember SARS, right?
    2003... so that's 17-18 years of "untesting."

    How much did you, in your professional opinion, think was necessary?

    • BEGIN STORY: Successful world-wide whistleblower called again to reveal the Truth


      (SEATTLE)–11/11/2024–12:51 PST–(CORRECTED) I’m launching this blog to tell the world the truth about confusing, lightning-speed news related to finance, politics, science and technology-the biggest of current affairs. I will provide editorial analysis and revelations about the world we live in. This is my newest calling; I was called in 2003 to be the founding father (behind the scenes) of the “Black Box Voting” world movement. (1)(2)(3) Indeed, I provided heroine Bev Harris–who gave the voting machine movement legs–with the seminal testing document; she displays this faulty analysis (written by a government-sponsored entity, “Ciber”) in the 2006 Emmy-nominated HBO documentary “Hacking Democracy.” David Dill of Stanford was also instrumental to the voting machine design and testing effort–among his other herculean accomplishments.

      I didn’t tell anyone in 2003 the whole truth–that God told me that America’s voting systems and approval systems were severely broken. I later observed that Bev Harris is a very Godly woman.

      I have had multiple letters published in the New York Times (1999, 2003) and other publications, including The New Scientist. I was a founder of the “pre” and the actual internet, while I was a “whiz” consultant at my university. In addition, a few years ago I had Yahoo search remove dangerous search results.

      Now, years later I am obligated to use the same type of Godly vision I had in 2003 (and with respect to the internet in the 80’s), to explain world events–particularly at the federal level, where the anti-Christ and his minions (Donald Trump and his appointees) will seize control–unless something drastic is done. According to BBC, Trump has 34 felonies, and “A pattern of criminal behaviour,” (4) just like it is outlined in the Bible (“lawless” in common understanding.) Importantly, and this is a sign of Revelations, Trump has definitively wooed the Christian right–he had them literally jumping around (a sign of being taken or possessed.) (5) Others have pointed out Trump wooed Hispanics, despite wanting to dump them over the border; and he wooed the poor despite having inflationary plans. How did this occur?

      It sounds “out there” to blow the whistle on Trump the anti-Christ (I can hardly believe it myself, but it is a divine duty), almost like my claims in 2003 that seemed outlandish; I promise to deliver this news slowly. As far as I know (and God told me this), I am the only one who can claim divine knowledge by finding patterns. Twenty-one years after I blew the whistle on elections, voting machines are up and running–98 percent paper ballots–the proper solution (well, maybe…more on this later.)The country doesn’t have decades to fix the Trump onslaught in DC…and in Hollywood, and especially on the internet–these places are the feeding grounds of the enemy.

      I don’t just think or want or claim Donald Trump to be the anti-Christ, God (through Gabriel) told me so–just like he told me to blow the whistle on electronic voting in 2003. Enough said.

      More soon.

          Young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs. Here’s how and why

          by Matt Brown, Fernanda Figueroa, Hanna Fingerhut, and Linley Sanders

          WASHINGTON (AP) — Brian Leija, a 31-year-old small-business owner from Belton, Texas, was not surprised that a growing number of Latino men of his generation voted for Donald Trump for president this year. Leija had voted for the Republican in 2016 and 2020.

          Leija’s rationale was simple: He said he has benefited from Trump’s economic policies, especially tax cuts.

          “I am a blue-collar worker,” Leija said. “So, tax breaks for small businesses are ideal for what I do.”

          For DaSean Gallishaw, a consultant in Fairfax, Virginia, a vote for Trump was rooted in what he saw as Democrats’ rhetoric not matching their actions. “It’s been a very long time since the Democrats ever really kept their promises to what they’re going to do for the minority communities,” he said.

          Gallishaw, 25, who is Black, also voted for Trump twice before. This year, he said, he thought the former president’s “minority community outreach really showed up.”

          Trump gained a larger share of Black and Latino voters than he did in 2020, when he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, and most notably among men under age 45, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of more than 120,000 voters.

          Even as Democrat Kamala Harris won majorities of Black and Latino voters, it wasn’t enough to give the vice president the White House, because of the gains Trump made.

          Economy and jobs made men under age 45 more open to Trump

          Voters overall cited the economy and jobs as the most important issue the country faced. That was true for Black and Hispanic voters as well.

          About 3 in 10 Black men under age 45 went for Trump, roughly double the share he got in 2020. Young Latinos, particularly young Latino men, also were more open to Trump than in 2020. Roughly half of young Latino men voted for Harris, compared with about 6 in 10 who went for Biden.

          Juan Proaño, CEO of LULAC, the nation’s largest and oldest civil rights organization for Hispanic Americans, said the election results make it clear that Trump’s messaging on the economy resonated with Latinos.

          “I think it’s important to say that Latinos have a significant impact in deciding who the next president was going to be and reelected Donald Trump,” Proaño said. "(Latino) men certainly responded to the populist message of the president and focused primarily on economic issues, inflation, wages and even support of immigration reform.

          The Rev. Derrick Harkins, a minister who has served Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York, has overseen outreach to Black American religious communities for more than a decade. He said that Trump’s hypermasculine appeal worked to win over some younger men of color.

          “I think that Trump with this bogus machismo has been effective amongst the young men, Black, white, Hispanic,” Harkins said. “And I think unfortunately, even if it’s a very small percentage, you know, when you’re talking about an election like we just had it can be very impactful.

          Black and Latino voters’ priorities changed from 2020

          While about 4 in 10 young voters under 45 across racial and ethnic groups identified the economy as the top issue facing the country, older white and Latino voters were likely to also cite immigration, with about one-quarter of each saying that was the top issue.

          A clear majority of young Black voters described the economy as “not so good” or “poor,” compared with about half of older Black voters. Majorities of Latino voters, regardless of age, said the economy is in bad shape.

          That belief made it more difficult for Harris to highlight the actual numbers in the economy, which show that inflation has receded dramatically, unemployment remains low and wages have risen. These voters simply did not feel that progress.

          This is the first time Alexis Uscanga, a 20-year-old college student from Brownville, Texas, voted in a presidential election. The economy and immigration are the issues that drove him to vote for Trump, he said.

          “Everything just got a lot more expensive than it once was for me,” Uscanga said. “Gas, grocery shopping even as a college student, everything has gone up in price and that is a big concern for me and other issues like immigration.”

          Having grown up selling tamales and used cars, and washing cars, Uscanga knows how hard it can be to make a living. When Trump was president, he said, it did not feel that way, he said.

          “Under the Trump presidency more opportunities were abound,” Uscanga said. “I was not very fond of President Trump because of his rhetoric in 2016 but I look aside from that and how we were living in 2018, 2019, I just felt that we lived a good life no matter what the media was saying and that’s why I started supporting him after that.”

          Though the shift of votes to Trump from Black and Latino men was impactful, Trump could not have won without the support of a majority of white voters.

          Men of color are really beginning to emerge as the new swing voters,” said Terrance Woodbury, co-founder of HIT Strategies, a polling and research firm that conducted studies for the Harris campaign.

          “For a long time, we talked about suburban women and soccer moms who can swing the outcome of elections. Now men of color are really beginning to emerge as that, especially younger men of color, who are less ideological, less tied to a single party, and more likely to swing either between parties or in and out of the electorate,” Woodbury said.

          Desire for strong leadership made Trump more appealing

          A majority of voters nationally said Trump was a strong leader; slightly fewer than half said the same about Harris. Among Hispanic voters, even more saw Trump as strong in this election. Roughly 6 in 10 Hispanic men described Trump as a strong leader, compared with 43% who said that in 2020. About half of Hispanic women said Trump was a strong leader, up from 37%.

          Black men and women were about twice as likely as in 2020 to describe Trump as a strong leader.

          David Means, a purchasing manager in Atlanta who is Black, abstained from voting in the election because he did not feel either Harris or Trump was making the right appeals to Black men. But the results of the election did not disappoint him.

          “I’m satisfied with the result. I don’t feel slighted. I wasn’t let down. I wasn’t pulling for Trump or Kamala, but I did not want a woman in that position,” he said. And if it were to be a woman, Means said, “I’d rather have a really strong and smart woman, for example, like Judge Judy.”

            Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump
            President also regrets picking Merrick Garland for attorney general, as he was slow to prosecute Trump for January 6


            by Robert Tait, in Washington DC

            Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.

            The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

            With just more than three weeks of his single-term presidency remaining, Biden’s reported rueful reflections are revealed in a Washington Post profile that contains the clearest signs yet that he thinks he erred in withdrawing his candidacy in July after a woeful debate performance against his rival for the White House, Trump, the previous month.

            The president stepped aside – to be replaced as his party’s nominee by the US vice-president, Kamala Harris – after mounting pressure from fellow Democrats, who cited polling evidence that appeared to show him heading for a near-certain election drubbing from Trump, who was seeking a historic return to the White House as the Republicans’ nominee.

            Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.

            While Biden and his aides have been careful not to blame Harris, they apparently believe the result would have been different if he had stood his ground, according to the Washington Post’s reporting.

            It is a view disputed by many Harris supporters, who blame the president for waiting too long before withdrawing, thus leaving the vice-president with little time to mount an effective campaign.

            They also point out that Biden’s determination to seek a second term violated his 2020 campaign vow to be a “transitional” figure, who would pass the torch after one term after steering the country away from Trump’s presidency.

            “Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation,” Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic senator for Connecticut told the Post.

            “I think his running again broke that concept – the conceptual underpinning of the theory that he would end the Trump appeal, he would defeat Trumpism and enable a new era.”

            The outgoing president’s misgivings over Garland are poignant given that he announced him as his attorney general nominee the day after a Trump-incited mob attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 in an effort that ultimately failed to overturn Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory.

            At the time, Biden said Garland would restore “the honor, the integrity, the independence” of the justice department after years of perceived politicisation under Trump.

            “Your loyalty is not to me. It’s to the law, to the constitution, to the people of this nation,” Biden told Garland at his official unveiling.

            But according to the Post, Biden had to be persuaded by his chief of staff, Ron Klain, to choose Garland – at the time best known as Barack Obama’s failed choice to succeed the conservative justice Antonin Scalia on the US supreme court before his nomination was derailed by a Republican-led Senate.

            Biden’s political allies had pressed the case for Doug Jones, then a Democratic senator for Alabama, arguing that he would be better equipped to navigate Washington’s bitterly partisan atmosphere. Klain, instead, argued that Garland, reputed for fairness, would send a more reassuring message of justice department independence after Trump.

            As events transpired, Biden still faced false accusations by Trump of “weaponising” the department as it pursued criminal investigations over his January 6 role and for hoarding classified White House documents – even while also investigating Hunter Biden and the president himself, the latter for also illegally retaining classified documents.

            Biden now believes he should have chosen someone else, the Post reported, a view consistent with many Democrats, who believe Garland was too slow to investigate and eventually prosecute Trump for January 6 and related activities to reverse his defeat.

            The deliberate pace of the investigation, which eventually resulted in the appointment of a special counsel, Jack Smith, meant Trump was ultimately able to avoid the spectacle of a politically damaging trial before this year’s election.

            Smith last month formally applied for his two criminal cases against Trump to be wound up in view of his election victory, in effect ending them.

            With very little fanfare, Joe Biden will exit the White House

            US President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to leave the White House with really minimal fanfare following a challenging year for the Democrats who lost to US President- elect Donald Trump in the US Presidential Elections 2024, reported The Hill.

            According to The Hill, while Joe Biden has remained engaged in significant foreign diplomacy which include trips abroad and efforts to assist Ukraine and negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza, at the same time, his public visibility has been totally diminished as US President-elect Donald Trump's announcements certainly dominate the current media landscape. In such tough times, Democrats expressed their disappointment with the Presidency of Joe Biden while feeling ready for it to conclude in spite of their reluctance about the return of US President- elect Donald Trump.

            Several critics note that the absence of US President Joe Biden from the public stage actually contrasts pretty sharply with the proactive media presence of US President- elect Donald Trump which includes a pretty recent press conference and several high profile events, asserted The Hill. At the same time, some Democrats though remain pretty unconcerned about the media attention of US President- elect Donald Trump while viewing it as more of a ‘media issue’ than an actual concern.

            However, there is a general sentiment of dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party regarding the leadership of US President Joe Biden and the overall electoral losses.

            As Joe Biden wraps up his presidency, he still continues to work on key foreign policy initiatives while facing internal party frustrations over his decisions which includes a controversial pardon for his son named Hunter Biden.

            How will US President Joe Biden leave White House? — US President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to leave the White House with really minimal fanfare following a challenging year.

At the same time, some Democrats though remain pretty unconcerned about the media attention of US President- elect Donald Trump while viewing it as more of a ‘media issue’ than an actual concern.

                  However, there is a general sentiment of dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party regarding the leadership of US President Joe Biden and the overall electoral losses.

                  As Joe Biden wraps up his presidency, he still continues to work on key foreign policy initiatives while facing internal party frustrations over his decisions which includes a controversial pardon for his son named Hunter Biden.
                  I do feel sad for him in a way. He's definitely a more ethical individual than Trump and I think tried to do his best. But I also think like Trump he suffers from "tell me what I want to hear" from his staff and family who then played into his worst impulses and were not honest with him about his mental faculties.

                  It is quite the roller coaster year for him. I think he became a lame duck publicly at the end of June as soon as he was not in the presidential race. At the time, message board Democrats were talking about him in glowing terms and I think it was Pelosi who lying off her ass said he belonged on Mount Rushmore. Now, message board Democrats consider him a failure and responsible for Trump becoming President again. (I can provide links to both.)

                    If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

                      A peaceful transfer of power? I suspect that may happen peacefully on Inauguration Day, 20 January 2025. But I also won't be surprised if some bad actor(actors) decides(decide) to take actions to disrupt that.

                      As for The Rule of Law? Generally, no. For you and me, yes. The nations laws apply to us. For some others, no.

                      Don Johnny Trump is a convicted felon, and he will be almost totally unpunished for his crimes. Likewise Hunter Biden, also a convicted felon, now pardoned and unpunished. If you did what they did, you would be in prison by now, because the nations laws and justice system and corrections system would all be applied to you, but not them, as they are in a protected class.

                      I expect that will soon get very much worse.

                        • What a glorious cluster fuck. Everyone goes off the rails at the same time...If it wasn't sad it would be funny as hell. Prepare for an absolute logical nightmare at every level. Again, we are leading the game, the US will impose sanctions on our Oil Industry in a few days and you can see how domestic rats are squealing and running in panic. Hostile takeover is most likely but that will have some serious consequences down the line. Events have been placed in turbo nitro gear. Enjoy the ride, its going to be a wild wild one.

                            The usual punishment for Hunter Biden would have been very mild, according to the legal experts.
                            Except, his last name is Biden, and the prosecution was purely political.

                            The role of a pardon is to undo erroneous or excessive punishments.
                            Seems like a good pardon to me.

                            Now, let's see what the Orange Anti-Christ does with his pardoning powers.
