THIS & THAT XXIV

                     It is now possible to piss some people off by referring to “Chinese New Year” as “Lunar New Year,” and vice versa.

          Be careful.  If you are insufficiently woke, just keep your mouth shut.

           I don’t think “latinx” is ever going to catch on, do you?

          There’s a name for this kind of word.  It’s an exonym, meaning a name for a race or an ethnic group that does not come from the people themselves.  And since it does not come from the people themselves, there’s always the possibility that the people it refers to won’t like it.

          That is not always true, of course.  We call people from Germany “Germans.”  It’s an exonym because Germans call themselves Deutsche, but the term “German” has no pejorative subtext.  However, Germans are also called krauts, heinies, and huns.  These are all exonyms, and they are insulting.

          “Eskimo” is an exonym that was never complimentary (it comes from Algonquian languages, and it means “eaters of raw meat”), but nobody was much offended by it until recent decades when group identity became so politicized.  Now it is considered a racist term.

          That seems to be the direction latinx (pron. “la-tin-x”), is going.  The purpose of it appears to be to eliminate the gendered terms “latino” and “latina,” since in the woke universe, sex and gender are just social constructs with no immutable meaning.  Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be how most latinos feel about the matter.  Spanish is, after all, a gendered language.  There are male nouns and female nouns, and that is characteristic of romance languages.  Imposing the woke ideology of non-gendered language on Spanish speakers is not only an affront to their culture and traditions, it will be much more difficult than it would be for English speakers.

          Trump had some classified documents at his compound at Mar-a-Lago, Biden had some in his Corvette and in a closet at the U of Penn, Sandy Berger (remember him?) had some stuffed in his pants.  And don’t forget Hillary.

          What’s the problem here?

          Nobody knows how many classified documents there are, but one estimate is that there are 50 million new documents classified every year.  Maybe the problem is that the people who deal with classified documents, and are responsible for classifying new ones, don’t take the process seriously.  How could they?  The bureaucrats who mostly deal with these things know that 1) there is no cost or downside to having documents classified, 2) it makes people look important if they work with classified documents or cause them to be classified in the first place, and 3) having documents stamped Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret (the three “classifications”), is a good way to prevent them from embarrassing you later on.  In addition, the people in charge of the process know full well there is no justification for classifying the vast majority of documents.

          There’s an easy way to fix this.

          First, each agency that classifies documents must review the documents it has classified, and de-classify 99% of them.  Give them a year to do this and if they fail to do so, they lose the power to classify any further documents until the culling has been completed.

          Following the completion of this Phase One, mandatory criminal penalties will kick in for mishandling of classified documents.  The person responsible for allowing a classified document to wind up in a place where it shouldn’t be goes to a federal prison for six months (minimum).  This will solve the other problem---nobody takes them seriously because nobody ever has to pay a price for breaking the rules.  Sandy Berger never went to jail, and the feds had to fish some embarrassing Clinton-era papers out of his boxers.  Even Hillary paid no price, and her use of an insecure homemade email server to house classified documents almost certainly led to security breaches and the deaths of Americans.

“It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled."                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ---Mark Twain

          As one of those who resisted the COVID madness from the beginning, I grow increasingly optimistic that we are approaching a tipping point on the dangers of the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna.  Stories that were uniformly suppressed by governments, the press, NGOs, academia, social media, medical organizations, pharmaceutical companies, health insurers, and financial institutions are now seeping into the public consciousness on the internet and even in media outlets that spent the last three years reporting ONLY the accepted narrative.

          The stories bobbing to the surface come from everywhere.

          The COVID experience in India constitutes an accidental study in the effects of mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna), versus the Viral Vector products (like Johnson & Johnson) or the Protein Subunit types (like Novavax).

          India is a heavily vaccinated place, but unlike Europe and the U.S., none of the shots were mRNA shots.  India health minister Mansukh Mandaviya was the person responsible for negotiating with Pfizer and Moderna over the use of their products in India, and he reported the negotiations fell through because the companies demanded legal immunity for any injuries resulting from their vaccines.  While the U.S. and many other countries routinely grant this immunity to vaccine-makers, India never has, and Mandaviya refused to in this case.

          The significance of this arises from the near-absence of vaccine deaths in India.  These tend to be difficult to count anywhere, largely because in Europe and the US, the authorities have not wanted to count them, so the enormous numbers of vaccine-related deaths have been suppressed.  That does not mean the numbers cannot be teased out of the data, however.  In the United States (from the CDC’s VAERS database, for example), it appears the vaccines have killed about 350,000 people.  In the EU, there is a vaguely-similar website called EudraVigilance, run by the European Medicines Agency, with comparable numbers of reported vaccine deaths.

          India tracked vaccine injuries too, and their best data indicates there were about 1000 vaccine deaths among 100,000,000+ people vaccinated, or about one out of every 100,000.  Another measure published by the Indian government at the end of 2021 was vaccine injuries (“adverse events”).  Official counts of vaccine injuries were 0.2% of shots in the US, 0.7% in the UK, and 0.006 in India.

          India’s experience is powerful evidence that the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are the villains in the COVID vaccine death-toll.

          Another chink in the COVID-orthodoxy armor comes from the FOIA lawsuit filed by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency against the FDA in September, 2021 over the FDA’s refusal to release documents submitted in support of vaccine authorizations.  Involved were 300,000+ documents, which Pfizer offered to release at a rate of 500 per month, stretching the process out to somewhere north of 2080.

          U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman (N.D. Texas), ruled against the FDA in January 2022, and all responsive documents have now been released.

          But what do you do with 300,000+ documents?  You need somebody to read them and analyze them and put the pieces together.  The on-line sites Daily Clout and The War Room took on that challenge and attracted 3500 volunteers, including medical professionals and lawyers, to the task.

          The result is “Pfizer Documents Analysis Reports,” an eBook featuring 50 essays on different aspects of Pfizer’s deception.  Pfizer knew (and suppressed), the dangers of its mRNA vaccine, and thus, there could be no informed consent among the hundreds of millions who took the shot and suffered the damage.  The collusion of the CDC, the FDA, and the media in the lies is also apparent from the Reports.

          At this point we have all heard of the heart injuries the vaccine has done to young men.  There has been less publicity, however, about the effect on young women in their reproductive years.  The results of vaxxing pregnant women were frightening.  Of the pregnant women in the Pfizer trial who took the shot, 270 reported injuries.  Of those 270, Pfizer followed only 32 of them, and of those, 28 lost their babies.  There is also ample evidence of vaccine-related changes to women’s menstrual cycles, though the seriousness of these alterations is not yet clear.

          Elsewhere, mandates are being quietly dropped (even in California!), and legislation is being introduced to ban mRNA vaccines.  Here and there, a few public health officials (minor ones), have publically apologized for pushing the COVID security state protocols upon us in spite of the absence of evidence supporting them.

          It all adds up, I hope.  Of course I would like to see Fauci and Klaus Schwab and Cuomo and Newsom and Bill Gates, and all the other architects of this attempted fascist takeover, in prison for their crimes against humanity.  But in this world where people are never held responsible for their crimes but only for the crimes of their ancestors, we cannot expect these monsters to pay any sort of price.  I would like to see them shamed from public life, however, and never again have the opportunity to pursue their totalitarian dreams at our expense.  I would like to see the three years from 2020 to 2022 viewed for what they were---a dystopian nightmare and fraud that killed millions and should never be repeated.
