Truth in an age of deception
Of all the musical instruments I find the human voice to be the most fascinating one.
No other instrument comes even close to the range of expressions that the human voice can produce.
When an artist isn’t just blessed with a great voice but when the artist knows how to use it, then something truly exceptional is created.
Lena Chamamyan, a Syrian-Armenian singer, is such an artist. Enjoy!
Tom approaches the wuhan virus in a very rational way and uses common sense, two qualities that are in short supply these days when it comes to the wuhan virus. He also cites a most welcome “random act of journalism” manifested in an article by the “The Atlantic”.
The only thing missing from the article is a consideration of the potential impact of fraud which could skew the numbers.
An OIG report of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from February 2021 indicates rampant upcoding for the fiscal year 2019.
Upcoding is a type of fraud in the healthcare system which involves the use of a false secondary diagnosis or the fraudulent swapping of main diagnosis and secondary diagnosis.
For a good and simple explanation see https://www.hallrender.com/2021/03/01/hospitals-beware-new-oig-report-suggests-rampant-inpatient-upcoding/It would be extremely naive not to consider the possible impact of upcoding, especially if the diagnosis Covid-19 is a lucrative one.
What is one of the big headaches with the COVID-19 pandemic? Most of the news media is constantly trying to scare us with fear porn. Occasionally, however, we see something increasingly rare, a story in the news media that is actually informative. Here is an excerpt from one such story.
If you want to make sense of the number of COVID hospitalizations at any given time, you need to know how sick each patient actually is. Until now, that’s been almost impossible to suss out. The federal government requires hospitals to report every patient who tests positive for COVID, yet the overall tallies of COVID hospitalizations, made available on various state and federal dashboards and widely reported on by the media…

It feels like we’re living in biblical times. It’s as if a spirit of darkness and oppression has settled over the world. While millions, if not billions, are forced to hide their faces behind veils others are dropping their masks, revealing the darkness in their hearts. Those who reveal the darkness of their hearts are often members of the medical profession, a profession we like to think of as noble and ethical but in truth it is no more noble than your average person. Don’ get me wrong. There are many wonderful doctors and nurses out there but all doctors and nurses are still humans and subject to the same temptations and lusts that we all are.
The medical profession, since antiquity, has adopted an ethical code which was articulated by Hippocrates of Kos, the founder of modern medicine. This ethical code was supposed to keep the less noble aspects of human nature in check. This ethical code is written down in the “Oath of Hippocrates” which doctors in many countries have to swear upon entry into their careers as doctors.
After the monstrous medical atrocities of the 3rd Reich in 1948 the World Medical Association (WMA) adopted the “Geneva Declaration” which was supposed to be a modernized version of the Hippocratic Oath.
This declaration has no more references to gods.
These days members of the medical profession are shamelessly and openly violating both the Hippocratic Oath and the secular, humanistic Geneva Declaration when they declare that they won’t treat unvaccinated people and when Frank Ulrich Montgomery, Chair of the Council of the same WMA that adopted the Geneva Declaration, supports forced vaccination and calls for new rules that would forbid unvaccinated persons to go to places like coffee shops and restaurants and other public places in Germany.
Montgomery, this sick bastard, calls for even more draconian rules than the ones imposed on the French. Under his “2G” rules only the vaccinated and those who had already have covid would be allowed to visit places like restaurants and you wouldn’t be able to go to the restaurants even if you would test negative.
This sick bastard violates the Hippocratic principle “first, do no harm.” and the declaration that his own organisation adopted.
So, when Julie, a fabulous blogger, wrote in one of her posts “we have moved into a post Christian society”, I was thinking that we have become not just a post Christian society. We have become worse. We have become a post pagan and even a post humanistic society.
We have seen in recent years the unmasking of many institutions. The journalists, for example, dropped the mask, the pretence of objectivity, and proudly revealed their blatandly partisan nature.
This spirit that has settled over the world is causing many to reveal their ugly natures and their black hearts. What has been hidden behind the mask is now revealed in the open.
The good thing about all this that we now can see our enemies. They are not hiding anymore.
Whether it’s these medical fascists or those who view mankind as a virus and a cancer on the earth that needs to be eradicated, they are our enemies because they hate humanity.
The 2017 version of the Geneva Declaration:
“AS A MEMBER OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION:
I SOLEMNLY PLEDGE to dedicate my life to the service of humanity;
THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF MY PATIENT will be my first consideration;
I WILL RESPECT the autonomy and dignity of my patient;
I WILL MAINTAIN the utmost respect for human life;
I WILL NOT PERMIT considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient;
I WILL RESPECT the secrets that are confided in me, even after the patient has died;
I WILL PRACTICE my profession with conscience and dignity and in accordance with good medical practice;
I WILL FOSTER the honour and noble traditions of the medical profession;
I WILL GIVE to my teachers, colleagues, and students the respect and gratitude that is their due;
I WILL SHARE my medical knowledge for the benefit of the patient and the advancement of healthcare;
I WILL ATTEND TO my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard;
I WILL NOT USE my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties, even under threat;
I MAKE THESE PROMISES solemnly, freely and upon my honour.”
The Hippocratic Oath:
“I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, likewise Hygeia and Panacea, and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath, to the utmost of my power and judgment.
I will reverence my master who taught me the art. Equally with my parents, will I allow him things necessary for his support, and will consider his sons as brothers.
I will teach them my art without reward or agreement; and I will impart all my acquirement, instructions, and whatever I know, to my master’s children, as to my own; and likewise to all my pupils, who shall bind and tie themselves by a professional oath, but to none else.With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgment and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage. Nor shall any man’s entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so. Moreover, I will give no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child.
Further, I will comport myself and use my knowledge in a godly manner.
I will not cut for the stone, but will commit that affair entirely to the surgeons.
Whatsoever house I may enter, my visit shall be for the convenience and advantage of the patient; and I will willingly refrain from doing any injury or wrong from falsehood, and (in an especial manner) from acts of an amorous nature, whatever may be the rank of those who it may be my duty to cure, whether mistress or servant, bond or free.Whatever, in the course of my practice, I may see or hear (even when not invited), whatever I may happen to obtain knowledge of, if it be not proper to repeat it, I will keep sacred and secret within my own breast.
If I faithfully observe this oath, may I thrive and prosper in my fortune and profession, and live in the estimation of posterity; or on breach thereof, may the reverse be my fate!”
By now there are many peer reviewed studies, showing the efficacy of treatments with ivermectin, hydroxychloraquin and other substances.
There is no solid empirical evidence that lockdowns and masks do more good than harm. Yet, those idiots advocating for such measures completely ignore their very severe negative side effects. They pretend that there are no such side effects or that it’s still worth having those measures imposed on all of us. The few studies that have been done could not show that masks or lockdowns have any substantial, positive effects.
From the beginning it was clear that the “vaccines” could not be the sole solution or even the main part of the solution for the problem.
The “vaccines” would not be effective enough and therefore too many viruses would escape. Vaccinating too many people, let alone all people would put too much pressure on the virus, resulting in escape mutants which would be resistant to the “vaccines”.
For this very reason, to prevent resistant strains of bacteria, you don’t give out antibiotics like lollypops.
From the beginning the virus was overhyped and everything was done to spread fear.
These and many other facts have been known for a long time.
Why, then, does Big Tech suppress every information that could result in ending the pandemic and why does Big Tech promote information that helps prolonging the wuhan virus crisis?
It’s not only ideology or goverment pressure that causes Big Tech to censor everything that challenges the official narrative with regards to the wuhan virus.
Big Tech has a very strong incentive to prolong the wuhan virus crisis.
It’s the money. As you can see in the graphics I have provided (data from https://www.macrotrends.net), since the start of the pandemic Big Tech has been making money like pirates.
While small businesses were nuked and millions lost their jobs Big Tech has made a veritable loot.
The closing of shops on a massive scale resulted in a huge increase in online shopping.
The widespread closing of offices resulted in a huge increase in home office work.
The closing of schools, restaurants, cultural institutions like museums, theaters and concerts as well as severe restrictions of gatherings of people, be it for church services or just for the usual communication between persons resulted in a huge increase in online communication via social media and other online platforms. After all, man is a social animal and can’t live without interpersonal communication.
All this has hugely benefitted Big Tech by enormously increasing demand for hardware, operating systems, all kinds of software, especially software for online conferences like Microsoft Teams, software services and software licenses, cloud and online services, server capacities and the whole cloud infrastracture like Amazon AWS and too many other things to mention.
I don’t know the numbers but you can rest assured that a huge increase in online activity has also resulted in an equally huge increase in advertising revenues for companies like Facebook.
Biden was right when he said about the social media: “They are killing people”.
He was right but not for the reasons he thinks. Through its censorship Big Tech is killing people by needlessly prolonging the pandemic and by keeping people away from effective treatments such as ivermectin which could save the lives of people who really need these treatments.
I wanted to write this post back in July I but didn’t find the time to do it.
The military and political debacle in Afghanistan which was caused by Joe Biden has given new motivation for writing it.
In a lengthy interview Admiral James Stavridis talks a lot about his book “2034: A Novel of the Next World War” which describes a military conflict between the US and China.
In the book China has technologically outstripped the US by 2034 and because of domestic politics and the mishandling of its alliances the US has not a single ally left, which looks like a shot at President Trump. That is understandable because at the time the book was written this was the easy and safe thing to do and I don’t blame the admiral for doing that.
However, I blame Stavridis for failing to acknowledge that the radical change in Biden’s half year in office makes the situation for the US military even worse than described in the book. Critical race theory, transgender soldiers and other woke projects in the military, accelerated destruction of the economy, inflation and policies directly favoring China, the increased deindustrialization of the US and the cutting of defense spending are all weakening the US military and they are changing the balance of power to China’s advantage.
There is one thing I have not seen discussed anywhere. It is the effect of America’s radical shift towards socialism on America’s alliances. Just like the rise of marxism accompanied with increased antisemitism, exemplified by people like Ilhan Omar, have a negative impact on America’s alliance with Israel, I believe, an America dominated by socialist ideas would negatively impact its alliances against China. Just like an America that would see Israel as an imperialistic oppressor would hardly be inclined to support Israel, why would an America that more and more resembles China want to support some militarily weak democracies in the pacific? Why would an America that shares the same ideology with China want to support the democracies in the indopacific region in their effort to thwart Chinese attempts at dominating the region?
If America was ideologically the same as China why would these democracies want to ally themselves with America? They might just as well join China.
Enter the wrecking ball Joe Biden.
If one wanted to severely damage America’s alliances with NATO countries like Britain, Germany and France and make new future alliances much more difficult or impossible to achieve, one could not do a better job than Biden.
Without notifying its NATO allies the US abandoned Bagram airbase thus making it much more difficult to evacuate their militaries and civilians.
As the Biden administration shamelessly abandoned its Afghan allies, who would want to ally themselves with the US?
Never mind that Biden abandoned America’s allies. He has thrown American citizens to the wolves.
Who in his right mind would trust this America?
In the end, Admiral Stavridis may be right that America has not one single ally left but it would be not because of some trumpian figure with isolationist impulses and a crude personality.
It would be because of a mean, cold and morally decrepit sociopath such as Biden.
Even so, the biggest irony would be that by the time America would have no more allies left, it would no longer need any allies against China because it would have become China.
