The Science Behind Masks - Facts vs Fiction

 

With the advent of the SARS CoV2 virus (Covid-19) there has been a virtual battle going on concerning the effectiveness of wearing surgical masks or cloth face coverings. And it seems that all sides in this issue have dug in, citing conflicting reports. I say "reports" because most of what is being put forth as "the science" simply is not the science at all. Both sides are relying on agenda-driven assumptions, conjecture, and in some instances, outright falsehoods. To muddy the waters even further, every study that has been done over the years, and published in the most venerable medical periodicals have suddenly been erased, and replaced with the opposite narrative. I will get into the reason(s) behind this later in this post. 

Here are several samples of the studies that the medical establishment have relied upon for years - note that these studies were carried out carefully and established as "the science:

                                                                 (click to enlarge)

As you can see, all the tests, data and science points to surgical masks not being effective against a virus. Anything less than a surgical mask is even worse. The primary (but not the only) reason is simple math:

One needs an electron microscope to see a COVID 19 virus particle. Average COVID 19 virus particle size… is 0.125 microns… The hoarded N 95 mask - the best mask available - only filters down to 0.3 microns. So, N95 masks block few, if any, virus particles. This is a simple fact, so you just cannot argue against it. ~Doc Graham, MD

There are other reasons why masks are ineffective, but even more important is that masks can actually spread virus. A mask is really just:

• recirculating your own germs
• lowering your oxygen level 
• certainly negatively impacting your immune system 
• providing a false sense of security so you do not social distance as much
• touching your mask to move it will spread the virus
• the moist environment between face and mask is a breeding ground for other toxins
  
• not wearing it correctly will spread the virus
• reusing a mask - even if laundered - can spread the virus
• taking it off and putting it down can contaminate whatever you placed it on
  

Question: how can breathing in your own germs all the time be ‘safe? If you have the virus, re-breathing it in will make you more ill. And if you do not have the virus, you do not need a mask to keep "other" people safe. In either case, a mask is virtually useless from a medical standpoint.

And then there is this: up to 34 million Americans have some form of chronic respiratory pulmonary condition such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer, to name a few. Even the CDC warns against those people wearing masks, as it can contribute to serious damage to an already compromised system. I know that first-hand: I have COPD and already having trouble getting enough oxygen, and if I wear a mask more than a few minutes I can pass out, resulting in a fall that could be fatal (I am 73). A representative from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Reuters: “The CO2 will slowly build up in the mask over time. However, the level of CO2 likely to build up in the mask is mostly tolerable to people exposed to it. The exception, however, are those with chronic pulmonary issues. Such people are advised to not wear masks."

When Covid-19 first appeared, the medical establishment, from the World Health Organization, to the CDC, to the "experts" like Dr. Anthony Fauci all told us emphatically NOT to wear masks because they do nothing to protect us; that they were only useful in operating rooms. That was (and still is) true. But even in a hospital setting, where the best, fitted N95 masks are used, they still do not fully protect from any virus - that was never the purpose of masks. They are used to protect doctors from other pathogens such as bacteria, and to keep spittle from falling on the patient, and keep blood spatter from getting in the surgeon's mouth and eyes.  All such particles are considerably larger than a virus and will not to get through the mask (N95 means 95% effective against particles .3 microns or larger - a virus is only .125 microns).

Meanwhile, those experts began erasing all the studies cited above, replacing those studies with a completely opposite narrative - one that was not even determined by actual studies, but rather created to further a different agenda, which is described later in this article.

The new narrative coming from the "experts" was a complete reversal of their previous stance. Now they were telling us that masks do work against a virus, and encouraged us to wear them, playing on our "humanity" by claiming, "they are not for protecting you - it's to protect others from you to stop the spread" while also taking advantage of our ignorance. 

Think about that for a moment...if YOUR mask keeps virus from getting out to the other guy, how does your mask NOT keep out his virus coming at you? If your mask does not protect you, then it doesn't protect him from you, either. That is the Big Lie behind the push for masks. So, what does the SCIENCE have to say? At the end of this article you will find a link to many actual medical studies - the science - from around the world that makes it clear that masks do not work, and may even contribute to the spread.

So now it behooves us to try and understand why so many "experts", medical organizations and politicians are intent on forcing mask mandates on the public. And while many people reading this may think it to be a conspiracy theory, it is critical that you understand that while it is a conspiracy, it is anything but theory. The following are facts that you can research independently if you wish. But first a side note: according to actual figures provided by the CDC and elsewhere, up to 70% of "cases" are false positives.  Of all deaths attributed to Covid, only about 6% were actually caused BY the virus - roughly only 20,000 of the reported 330,000. Furthermore, total number of deaths from all causes in 2020 are no different from previous years - there are no "extra" 330,000 deaths:

For centuries there has been a cabal of extremely powerful and wealthy families - some are Royals, most are bankers, and they consider themselves superior to the masses. Envision if you will the feudal system of Merry Olde England, where Lords in their mansions oversaw estates populated by serfs. The serfs were nothing more than chattel - livestock, whose purpose in life was to serve the Masters in the mansion. This is how elites see the separation between themselves and us. I am sure you notice how elites tell us to stop wasting fuel while they jet around the globe, and how they are not obligated to follow the lockdowns or masks they force on us. Surely you have noticed! Rules for thee but not for me.

Get the picture? In days of old, many of the elite were referred to as the Illuminati. In the 20th Century they were involved with the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderburg conference. Today they are called "globalists", with the intent of establishing a New World Order - the "Great Reset" that the United Nations speaks of in their Agenda21, Agenda30 and Vision50 

This is going to sound unbelievable, but you had better believe this...

Make no mistake - their singular agenda is world domination, where they rule, and we serve them as serfs. But it is worse than that - they believe eugenics is a requirement, to rid the Earth of those they deem "unfit", like the elderly and infirm and other undesirables. Such people use up precious resources that are becoming increasingly scarce. Any person unable to produce more than he or she uses will be exterminated. Do not take my word for it - do your research, as others have done. Globalists make no secret of their agenda. For example, Dr. Henry Kissinger stated, "Depopulation should be the highest priority", and John D Rockefeller, a Bilderburg member stated, "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order". And even Bill Gates, our new "vaccine king" stated in a video in 2010, "The world has 6.8 billion people...that's headed up to 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care (infertility drugs in vaccines, like he used in Kenya and India), reproductive health services (abortion), we could lower that by perhaps 10-15%."

So what does that have to do with masks? They understand the truth in the words of Joseph Goebbels - instill enough fear in people and you can get them to do anything. It is really incredibly simple: by creating "the right major crisis" (a pandemic) they scare you into getting you to accept masks, social distancing and lockdowns, which are necessary to weaken our will, our independence. They get us to give up our Constitutional Rights without a shot fired. Those Rights keep them from ushering in their New World Order. And it helps them close churches - religion also gets in their way. Bars and restaurants are closed because that is where people gather and revolutions have been known to start. And by closing the small businesses, the masses are required to buy whatever they need from businesses owned by the elites, like Amazon and WalMart. They are siphoning off all the wealth. Since this pandemic began, the wealthiest people have amassed more wealth than they have in the last decade.

If you think all this sounds far-fetched, read up on those United Nations agendas mentioned earlier. And understand why hydroxychloroquine was banned to fight Covid - if there is a cheap therapeutic, then the tracking vaccines would not be needed nor accepted. And they NEED everyone to get that vaccine. It is the entire reason that contact tracing became a thing (your government has already approved a billion dollars for it), complete with apps on your phone (go ahead - look in your settings). California is already using the app to track people. Imagine trying to fight off the globalists when they can use the tracking in the vaccine to prevent you from entering stores to buy food, prevent you from buying guns or ammo. And those who refuse the vaccine? If the tracing chemical or nanobot is not in your system, the alarm goes off when you try to enter any place of business, much as they do now when you attempt to leave with stolen items.

It does not get any more real than this, folks. And it is already upon us. If the people do not wake up to what is really going on, it will soon be too late to stop it.

First it is masks. Then the vaccine. Then it's all over.

Here are studies from around the world that state masks have no value in protecting people from a virus. There are others...

How To Save Our Republic

                                                             (click to enlarge image)

America is on the brink of self-destruction, as global elites and liberals seek to usher in their New World Order. No, that is not a conspiracy theory - it is fact. If you doubt that, research the United Nations edicts of Agenda 21, Agenda 30 and Vision 50.  This is as real as it gets, folks!

The question: will we allow it to happen, or will we fight back?

Frankly, I see little reason to hope that enough of us will choose to fight. Many are not informed. Many more are either too willing to let others do the work, or they are simply cowards, having consumed way too much soy that is in most foods - even baby formula - today. Soy is estogen, and it makes us weak.

If we are, however, willing to fight for our liberty, our Republic, there are certain things we can do to right this ship. The rest of this post describes what steps we can and must take.

 

First and foremost, we need forensic audits especially in the states that had huge ballot dumps in the wee hours of the morning of November 4th. If even ONE state de-certifies and flips to Trump, that is the key. While a few Electoral College votes will not change the results, what it WILL do is throw the entire election into question. And that, my friend, will make it necessary to audit every state, as the election itself cannot be legally certified until ALL states are certified. If one state de-certifies, NO ONE IS PRESIDENT! So, what then?

Under the Constitution and the law, the military would take the reigns UNTIL such time as the remaining states hold audits. But they need not all flip - if enough states flip to return 38 Electoral College votes to Trump, Trump wins. And because he never conceded, he can retake the office of President once those Electoral Votes are certified by Congress, and he transitions and is re-inuagurated.

That is the most likely chance of putting the rightful person in  the Oval Office. But that is only the beginning. We must then fix what got us here...

STEP #1: First and foremost, together we have enough power to get more true conservatives elected to office - local, state & federal. We can break the back of the establishment, using the power of our numbers, and perhaps our own party, if necessary. A party founded specifically on the Constitution and principles of liberty, that government serves the people, not vice versa. A government whose power is derived from the people, and not used against them. Put up great candidates. Support them. Stump for them. Get out the vote.

 STEP #2:  We need to retake the legacy mainstream media. We do this by buying them up - or breaking them by taking away their advertising revenue. We can support very wealthy conservative billionaires in an effort to buy those outlets or, failing that, set up a corporation and a fund that conservatives can contribute to for that purpose, and choose conservatives to run them. We can even act TOGETHER to boycott ALL the advertisers of the media, reducing their stock price enough so we can buy more stock. We can BREAK them. But the key ingredient is that we work TOGETHER, and with purpose.

We can do the same with "social media". We have the power to strip them of their following to a great extent by forming or using new platforms, as was done with Parler and Rumble. Working TOGETHER conservatives can weaken the hold that the media has on the narrative that the world hears. This is absolutely crucial!

STEP #3: Take over education. Get VERY active in the local school boards. Vet the teachers that are hired. Monitor classes, textbooks, subjects. Make sure the children will be educated without being indoctrinated. Get rid of bad teachers. But that is not enough - those teachers graduate from colleges and universities that are run by liberal professors and staff, and the teachers have likely been compromised. Therefore, we must also take back the institutes of higher learning. We can REFUSE to allow our kids to attend liberal institutions. We can stop giving them our money. We can support institutions that are not liberal. We can encourage "future teachers" - perhaps with a scholarship fund - to attend non-liberal institutions and insist our school boards hire them over others. NOTE: Scholarships are how global elites help to manage a students' education, and get their hooks in them

We can pressure our Congressional leaders to stop subsidizing ANY institute of higher learning, and particularly those whose staff does not consist of as many conservative professors as liberal ones. Hit them not only in the pocketbook, but also politically. There are enough of us (if we work together) to pressure Congress regardless of which party is in control. 

These are the main areas on which we must focus. If we cannot pull together, it's all over. And there is nowhere else we can go...

Securing Our Elections - A Plan

 

 

 Securing elections:

1) Every legal citizen may register FREE at any DMV or other facility set up for that purpose. Upon presenting proof of citizenship & residency, a credit-card style card with a chip would be mailed to them, just as if it were a secure credit card. The cardholder would choose a PIN number, and the card - just like a credit card - would have a CVV number on its reverse.

2) At the polls, individual would insert card in the machine to be read, type in their pin number, then the CVV number. Only then would the machine accept the persons' PAPER ballot to be recorded and saved. The machine will not allow more than one ballot per card per election period

3) Those UNABLE to arrange going to DMV may, with proof of inability to go to DMV may schedule to have an appointed, certified local LEO come to them, check birth cert/naturalization papers & proof of residency & obtain copies, upon which the LEO would apply on their behalf. Card would be mailed to applicant postage paid.

4) Those who were unable to get to the polls in person may request a certified poll watcher or worker from THEIR PARTY to pick up their ballot & their card and cast it for them. Card would be returned to the voter after the election.

NO OTHER TYPE OF BALLOT WOULD BE ACCEPTED!

All machines nationwide would be standardized to accept only ballots of a certain size, weight & watermark. The information and set-up for the ballot can be determined by each state to suit specific needs.

Voting machines must not be capable of being connected to the internet and software source code must be checked by several approved coders and certified as secure and safe

How To Prevent The Next "Crisis"

This article is not going to claim that it is possible to prevent another pandemic. That is not likely possible. But what IS possible is to be prepared in such a way that the next crisis need not be such a devastating problem. And it is so easy to do. And frankly, it's common sense, so our politicians may need a little help from We, the People to show them they way, for as we are now seeing, most of our elected officials are seriously lacking in the critical thinking that is the basis of common sense - or vice versa.

First, critical thinking would lead us to find the most logical root of the issue, and from there would necessitate taking orderly steps toward what you want for an end result. In this case, the root of the problem is simply that our state officials and local medical facilities do not properly prepare for a catastrophe. Hospital administrators are quick to take huge salaries plus nice bonuses instead of having their facilities keep an adequate supply of essential items in the quantity required for a pandemic. State officials, who are politicians and not usually good planners, do not pass legislation requiring that medical facilities properly prepare to treat patients in even the worst of circumstances.

Imagine if every medical facility had had an abundance of N95 masks, nitrile gloves, and ventilators on hand in case of emergency. Where would we be today? I doubt the country would be shut down and the economy crashing around our ears. And I seriously doubt as many lives would have been lost.

Now, this blogger is not the sort to rant about a problem unless he has a possible solution in mind...

As a reader of the Good Book I recall that a Pharoah once had a dream about fat cows and lean cows. When he asked Joseph to interpret the dream, Joe told him it meant there would be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. The Pharoah then decreed that 1/7 of all crops would be stored for the future, for seven years. When the years of famine came, the Pharoah's people had plenty to eat. See where I'm going here?

I suggest, first and foremost, that the citizens of each state contact their legislative body and tell them they need to do something similar to this plan, and do it quickly. Keep on them until they DO it. Because if YOU do not get on them, nothing will change, and the next time something like this happens, it may be you, or your family and friends that will suffer for it. That is the first and most important step - I hope you will all step up to the plate by passing this on to everyone you know, and contacting your leaders - as often as necessary until it ges done.

I realize I may be stretching this a bit, and giving too much credit to our illustrious leaders, but I must assume they are at least as smart as a 4000 year old dead Egyptian.

Step two - create The Plan. One suggestion (and a good one, if I say so myself) is for each state to set up one or more centrally located warehouses and get them stocked to the level required. The state would charge every medical facility in the state a pre-determined percentage of their monthly or quarterly profits and use those funds EXCLUSIVELY to stock those warehouses. The amount charged should be sufficient to be have them fully stocked within 3 years.

After it is fully stocked, medical facilities would obtain their "normal" supplies from the warehouse as needed. What they use would be replaced by their quarterly payments for stocking, thereby keeping a full stockpile at all times. Someone wold be appointed by THE PEOPLE, in a vote, to oversee that the stock remains full. Checks and balances, y'know. It just would not do to allow "rats" to get in and "eat up" those supplies, if you get my drift!

Step three - IMPLEMENT the Plan! One way or another, FORCE your elected officials to do their job, which, to put it bluntly is to provide for the HEALTH AND SAFETY of the citizens of their state.

Well? Do you need an invitation? Pass this on to everyone in your circle, then contact your elected officials and DEMAND they implement a similar plan. It's your state.  And it just might mean the lives of those you love (not to mention yourself).

We now know what is important. This is it!

Shelter In Place - Make It Pay

America is in crisis mode for awhile, due to the corona virus. Most cities, states and even the government is asking people to "shelter in place", or go into lockdown, which is a wise move to help stop the spread of the disease. But with that comes other issues.

Most people have a difficult time coping with "cabin fever" - being shut in for 15 days or more. In today's world, a lot of people simply do not know what to do with themselves, and they begin taking their frustration out on family members. But there is something you can do. You can make this upset in your normal life pay - and pay big!

This is the perfect time to learn something new - something you can master in two weeks or less that can benefit you and profit you in unimaginable ways. Something that is simple, yet satisfying and very profitable. And then, when this is over, you will have the knowledge and tools to enter a new, higher level in your life.

I am talking about a simple, effective home study program to learn how to make money in real estate, without having to put up cash or credit. Simple ways to make a lot of money without risk. Methods anyone can use - 22 of them, to be exact.

Look, let's be blunt - it may take a fair amount of time for many people to get back to normal. A lot of businesses will have gone bankrupt, and those jobs no longer available. Many of you will need a way to make a decent living. And with interest rates at near zero, and having time on your hands, this is the ideal time to learn this craft from someone who has been investing successfully since 1969.

The program I am talking about is "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate". And it does not stop at teaching you the how-to. It comes complete with 24/7 mentoring at no cost. That's right - the mentoring by a professional investor is free and unlimited.

The program also includes specially designed software for both Windows and Mac that easily creates all the agreements for any transaction. The program includes everything you need to achieve success. And the best part - the cost is incredibly low. Unlike programs by "gurus" like Montelongo, or Than Merrill and his Fortunebuilders who charge north of $30,000, "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" has a total one-time cost of $99.95. And yes, that does include the free mentoring.

How can such a program be so inexpensive? Easy - it is offered by a not-for-profit and they have enlisted professional investors to volunteer to mentor their clients on a one-on-one basis.

This is your time. This is your opportunity. You owe it to yourself and your family to at least take a look...

You will not regret it. And if you have other family members or friends who you think could benefit from this, please pass this post on to them.

May you all get through this without harm.

Prepared - Not Scared

The purpose of this post is to provide an idea as to what every adult should do to insure they and their family are prepared to at least a small extent.

During this time of crisis (panic), much of the panic could have been easily avoided had every adult taken the necessary steps to be even a little bit prepared for any emergency. It is an absolute certainty that, eventually, a major emergency will rear its ugly head and cause havoc.

While we cannot avoid a crisis, there is a lot we can do to prevent the crisis from causing havoc and turning into panic. It's called "being prepared". And for the record, a "heads up": the people pushing the New World Order (globalists) have stated publicly that they intend to create massive food, water, fuel (energy) shortages. When they speak, LISTEN, because it means it is already planned (like this "pandemic") and they are ready to roll it out. There WILL be major shortages, and they will likely be long term. You have been warned!

As a Boy Scout, the motto is "Be Prepared". And my dad always taught us it's better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it.

The purpose of this post is to assist people in helping themselves to be prepared, and not be subject to panic and being left out in the cold. And if every adult were to follow even a moderate plan, the entire nation would be in good and capable hands.

Having been a "prepper" since childhood (over 60 years) here are the things I believe every American should always have on hand at all times. Bear in mind, in cases where an item has an expiration date, it goes without saying those things should be rotated, keeping the supply fresh.

Here is where I would begin at a minimal level of preparedness...

FOOD:

• One month supply of "survival" food for every member of the family, such as offered by Wise Foods. If kept cool and dry, it will last up to 25 years. I would use and rotate every 10 years by donating the old to a food pantry and use the tax deduction toward a fresh supply
• One month supply of canned/dry goods for each family member, rotated 
• Freezer with a rotating supply of meat (if not vegan) 
• One month supply of food for any pets

OTHER SUPPLIES:

• One month supply of - yes - toilet paper & paper towels
• 100' coil of paracord, or at least strong rope
• Sharp knife & knife sharpener
•  One rifle or gun per adult and know how to use it safely (You may have to hunt for food - or protect your own)
• MINIMUM 100 rounds of ammo per firearm (I have many arms + 20k rounds)
  
• A few Bic lighters - check them periodically, as they can lose fuel over time
• At least 10 gallons of FRESH gasoline. Must be rotated/replaced at least every 6 months
• 100 gallons distilled or purified water - replace annually
• Stash (at home) at least $500 emergency cash. If you have to use it, you will then understand the importance of replacing it afterward

MEDICAL:

• If you have prescriptions, try to keep a 90 day supply on hand
• Supplements (vitamins etc.) 
• A half dozen bottles of hydrogen peroxide
• Supply of disinfectant wipes
• At least (10) N95 masks for each family member - MUCH cheaper if not already in a crisis
• At least one box of nitrile gloves for each family member
• Well-stocked first-aid kit 

EQUIPMENT:

• If you can afford it, at least a small generator, with enough FRESH fuel to provide for electrical and/or heating needs for 2 weeks
• Keep fuel tanks in vehicles full - refill when guage at the halfway mark

Multiply all of the above by 200 million adults and it will become clear that America will be in great shape, and panic need not even be part of any discussion. More to the point - YOU and your family will have peace of mind!

Why Prepare For Crisis?

[I wrote this blog post in 2011. While dated, it is still so very true, and especially important in this crisis]

When friends  ask me why I go to the length I do to prepare for most emergencies, I tell them the best advice I could give is what my Dad taught me - Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. And the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" is appropriate. I explain it in terms they can understand. For example, I tell them that 40% of all Americans will encounter a personal emergency each year, whether it is a fire, flood, hurricane, personal health issue, car accident or even a hard fall. In fact, this year over a million people are expected to receive foreclosure notices on their homes. These are all "personal" emergencies.

Since it is almost certain that everyone will experience something similar in the next 3 years, everyone should be prepared for such things. Flares, energy food bars, rope or paracord, matches or lighter, space blanket jumper cables, duct tape and first aid kit should always be in your vehicle. And as I taught my daughter when she was 10, NEVER be without a sharp jackknife and a lighter on your person. When she turned 13, I added "Oh, and here's some Mace..."

More important is the fact that many people just do not realize how likely they are to encounter a greater disaster. Here are some thought-provoking statistics:

In 2011 there were 13,315 earthquakes of at least 4.0 magnitude. And a whopping 185 of those were over 6.0.

In 2011 there were 1,817 tornadoes. In fact, on April 27 there were 173 tornadoes on that single day

In 2011, there were 56 volcanic eruptions

The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season produced 20 tropical cyclones, 19 tropical storms, 7 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes

In 2010, fire departments responded to 384,000 home fires in the United States, which claimed the lives of 2,640 people (not including firefighters) and injured another 13,350, not including firefighters

And lest we forget - the Spanish flu of 1917-19 killed as many as 100 MILLION people worldwide

Understanding these stats will go a long way to convincing a person on the need to try and become more prepared for an emergency


Are you ready? When a catastrophe hits, will you be a survivor or a victim? That is a CHOICE you can make, if you plan early.

Climate Change - The Facts vs The Hype

[EDITOR'S NOTE: If you find any value in this article and want to help in the fight to protect the interests of every American, please pass this on to everyone you know, online and off. Thank you.]

In Takoma Park MD city officials are preparing to ban all fossil fuels in the city, which is estimated to cost every resident upwards of $25,000, all in the name of "climate change". And liberal cities and states across the country are all jumping on board the climate change train.

This article has one purpose - to separate the actual fact from the hype. This article is not going to dispute that the Earth's average mean temperature is rising - it may be. But we do dispute that it will have any appreciable effect that will do us more harm than good, and will provide something the climate change cult cannot do - provide absolute proof. But first - just to get some people thinking for themselves - let's ask a few simple yet pertinent questions:

• Why would the biggest proponents of climate change, like Gore, Obama & Kerry all purchase multi-million dollar ocean-front properties if they actually believe their own speeches?
• In 2001 Gore said coastal cities would be underwater in 10 years. That was 20 years ago. Have any coastal cities been swallowed by the ocean?
• In fact, has the high-water mark at your favorite beaches risen? Not at mine.
• Have we experienced more, or worse hurricanes as promised? Nope - fewer. There were far worse hurricanes in the early 1900's
• Have polar bears become extinct? No, they have increased in number.

Everyone should take a few moments to study these two charts (click to enlarge) - the top one is the "proof" being offered by the climate change cult - a mere 180 years of data out of the 4 billion years that Earth has been spinning around the sun. Think about that - they are basing their claims on .000000045 of the life of the planet. Chances are your calculator won't even go that low.

The lower chart was created by actual climatologists who studied Earth's climate going back over 10,000 years, and published by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. It shows that the climate of Earth is normally much higher than now, and Mankind thrived in the warmer periods. So that poses another question - why do those who push climate change conveniently ignore the lower chart?

And here you will find the PALEOMAP chart created by scientists who have studied Earth's climate dating back 4 billion years, based on information gathered from Earth cores and other methods.

MORE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

And here is the most important question of all - why are so many rich, important people and organizations - even the United Nations - pushing a climate change agenda if it is not going to do the damage they have been telling us about? And why have so many so-called scientists all signed onto it? What, exactly, is behind it?

I could say it is simple - just follow the money. Those "scientists" depend on grants for their income - grants from governments, the U.N., rich people with an agenda. And with very few exceptions, almost all the nations in the U.N. want to share America's wealth, and take us down in the process. The U.N. is no friend of the U.S. The geo-political world is one giant game of "King of the Hill", and the United States is King. It is the task of the others to try and take us down. That is how nations survive - or not.

You might note, if you have been paying attention, that the Paris Climate Accord, the United Nations Climate Change Panel and all other international attempts to deal with climate change all have one thing in common - the United States would be required to pay for almost all of it, even though we pollute far less than almost every other nation per capita.

As for Gore, Obama, Kerry et al? They all have their hands in the till. Al Gore claims he is on course to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire” and is estimated to have made over $300 million from climate change activities. It's easy to see why he pushes it!

But even that is not the complete reason behind the climate change push. It gets much more insidious. Getting the population of the world to fear extinction is the surest way to successfully push a globalist, socialist agenda, where the elites would run everything "for our own good" and the masses - you and I - would be little more than peons. We know this because many of them have said as much. In fact, the richest man on Earth, the great puppetmaster  George Soros, is proud to say so, and he funds 123 powerful organizations that are all pushing that agenda - globsalism, socialism and climate change.

No, this is not a "conspiracy theory", as such. It is, in fact, a conspiracy, and not just a theory and you can discover it yourself quite easily. The people behind it are very vocal as to their intent, to those who pay attention to what they are actually saying.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BOON, NOT A THREAT

As seen in the chart, above, Mankind thrived in warm periods and suffered in the cold spells. It also shows that climate is cyclical - it is always in a state of flux. But it also shows that we are currently on the "negative" side - temperatures cooler than what is even baseline normal. The reason: we are just coming out of a minor ice age that began around 1300 and did not "end" until around 1850. And it takes many years to exit an ice age - often hundreds of years. That ice age is called "The Little Ice Age", or LIA for short. You should do some research on it - it is a real eye opener. Understand, however - those who have been drinking the climate change kool-aid will likely ignore it, just as they will ignore the chart, above. But intelligent, free-thinking individuals will begin to see the value in the facts that Al Gore et al have conveniently left out of the discourse, in order to attain great wealth and power for themselves - at our expense.

Note that while they tell us we - you and I -  have to give up every modern convenience to fight climate change, not a single one of them is giving up anything at all - not their jets, not their 20,000 square foot oceanside homes, not their $10,000/month electic bills or their fleet of SUV's. By the way - how much of that $300,000,000 Gore has made from climate change fear-mongering has he used to help solve the "problem" he claims exists? And if he REALLY believes in climate change, and that it will destroy us all, why is he not putting up most of that to save humanity - of which he is included?

Trick question, sure. But it points to the truth.

The Left and Christianity - Was Jesus a "Socialist"?

When I was a child my parents made certain that I not only went to Sunday School every Sunday, but also read and understood the Bible and its teachings. In the same vein they made sure I read and understood the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. And they taught me how the two are connected in principle.

The Framers of the Constitution understood that for this nation to grow and prosper, we needed to be individualists, unfettered by a government that rules over us, instead, having a government that serves us best by not interfering in personal matters - including religion! The only task of government was to provide for our national defense, to protect and preserve our individual rights and freedom.

Christianity says much the same; that it is our personal interaction with others that defines us, and not what government does. The Bible speaks often of how little faith Jesus had in any government. "Pay unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and pay unto God that which is God's". And while many on the left believe that is proof that Jesus wanted the government to take care of the less fortunate, the opposite is true - based on his other teachings, He was saying that yes, we need to follow the laws of Man and pay our taxes, as that is the law, but our responsibilities - the ones God gave each of us to care for one another - is OUR responsibility, not that of government.

Saying government and not the individual should handle our responsibilities to the less fortunate is like paying the government to hug your family for you because you don't want to be bothered or don't have the time. NO! It is for each of us to do, not Government.  Not socialism. Jesus was the opposite of a socialist - He did NOT ask government to do ANYTHING. He asked US, each individual, to do God's work. He did things Himself, and implores us to do the same. It is the task of each individual to take care of one another - we are our "brother's keeper."

The left also claims Jesus was a socialist because he did not believe in capitalism. After all, He overturned the tables of the money-changers, did He not? Yes, He did, but they seem to miss the entire context. He did not overturn the tables out of any disdain for capitalism. The Scriptures clearly state that the money-changers were operating in God's house, and on the Sabbath. THAT was his gripe - not capitalism. And He said as much.

As for capitalism, itself, Jesus very much believed in capitalism, as clearly indicated in his Parable of the Talents, where the servant who did not grow his wealth was punished and the servant who grew his wealth the most was richly rewarded. There are other instances in the Bible where both Jesus and God Himself promotes increasing one's wealth, because if you do not, you would not be in any position to help the less fortunate.

Christianity is quite clear - it asks YOU to care for the less fortunate, not the government. YOU are the one God looks to, not our government. It's a lot like asking someone to say "I love you." If you have to ask for it, it isn't worth anything. If the government has to take from you in order to use it to help others, then YOU have failed in your responsibility to God. You passed your responsibility off to others. Much like sending your kids away to some boarding school, paying strangers to raise your kids, and then trying to take credit for how they turn out (or passing the blame if they turn out badly).

No, Jesus was the furthest thing from a socialist, or even a "social justice" warrior. Whenever you add a qualifier like "social" to a noun like "justice", you change its entire meaning, often to something quite opposite. For example, "social justice" would presume that people "take from the rich and give to the poor". But "justice" is the opposite - justice would dictate that the person who works for, and earns something is entitled to it. And if that individual then chooses to use some of it, out of his good heart, to benefit the less fortunate, then that is justice, and God's will.

SHORT TAKE: It is the individual - you, me and uncle George - who must each and on our own - attempt to earn our path to Heaven. No government can do that for us. Governments do not go to Heaven.

Russia Collusion Part Deux? Really?

Considering what Democrats and other anti-Trump people in the government have put us through in a quest to prove President Donald Trump somehow colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, and despite that their Independent Counsel, Robert Mueller, found no evidence of it even after spending $35 million and over two years looking into it, and despite the Horowitz Report that only found corruption in the upper ranks of our intelligence agencies and not the Trump administration - considering all of that and seven other investigations by House and Senate committees that found nothing - the Democrats, deep state operatives and "mainstream media" are at it again.

The New York Times and Washington Post, both now infamous for their hatred of the President have published stories once again claiming Russia is again trying to meddle in the 2020 election (FACT: they never stopped, and have been meddling for decades) and that they are trying to help Trump get re-elected. And in doing so, they have propelled a false and harmful narrative around the world, thanks to Twitter trolls and others who are always salivating to spread any anti-Trump fake news they can get their hands on. The liberal, Trump-hating Twitter trolls, blinded by their hate are actually HELPING Russia to meddle.

Here is why their entire narrative is insane and doesn't pass the smell test:

Let's begin with common sense. The record shows that President Trump is the first president to arm the Ukraine with military aid designed to help them fight off the Russian invaders. The record also shows that President Trump has levied the toughest sanctions against Russia, and against their interests in Venezuela, Cuba and world-wide. And the records show Trump increased oil and gas exports to Europe to further decimate the Russian economy which is dependent on selling their own fossil fuels to those countries.

Trump is bankrupting Russia. Trump is providing arms to those who fight Russia. So it appears that ordinary common sense would seem to indicate that Russia does not like Trump, and would like to see him replaced by a Democrat (or fellow socialist). After all, for the decades since  Reagan smacked down Russia, administrations have ignored Russia and allowed Russian power to expand. And Trump has stopped that.

Common sense says that Russia would NEVER help President Trump.

Our Deep State Intel agencies say that Russians are actively promoting Trump. Of course they are! And if you were a Russian being screwed by Trump, you would promote him, too. Why? Because common sense would tell you that if the people of America think Russians LOVE Trump, they would turn AGAINST Trump. Our intelligence agencies, however, do not appear to have any common sense, and they fall for that every time, as do the puppets in the media and Democrats in Washington D.C..

If I were Putin, and I wanted to get rid of Trump, I would have my people praising Trump, and putting out ads that favor Trump (making sure those ads can be traced back to Russia, to fool the clowns in American intel).

And the worst part of all - American mainstream media and Democrat politicians are unkowing pawns of Russia, doing exactly what Russia wants them to do - take down Trump, the one man who is bankrupting the communist nation and providing arms against them. And they are too stupid to see it.

If anyone in America is colluding with Russia, it is the mainstream media, the corrupt intel agencies and the Democrat  politicians who all, like lemmings, buy into the false narrative pushed by the very country they think they are fighting. They are not colluding with intent, but out of sheer ignorance and stupidity.

I am not saying the mainstream media, intel agencies or Democrats are anti-American. What I AM saying is that they are stupid, and in ignorance they are inadvertently harming the very country they claim to love.

It is high time that the media, intel agencies and politicians read the book, "Mein Kampf". Written by Adolph Hitler, it will  expose them to how a diabolical mind works, and how such a mind deceives people into working to promote the evil. Or, just read the Bible, where it says that the evil ones are "deceivers". And, if nothing else, Russia and other communist countries are evil. EXPECT them to use deception, or suffer the consequences.

Health Care MAY be A Right, BUT...

In a very contentious election year, it appears that the rights of individuals have taken center stage. In Virginia, it is the right to keep and bear arms that is under fire. And freedom of speech is being contested by many on the left as they seek to get conservative discourse banned from campuses and on the internet.

And now many on the left have decided for themselves that they somehow have a right to health care. Maybe that is so - let's assume for a moment that there is some unspoken right to health care. I will accept that - provided they will accept a truth - that every right comes with responsibilities. If they cannot accept that basic premise, then their argument goes right out the window.

The right to free speech comes with the responsibility to not defame, not incite violence and to not "bear false witness". The right to keep and bear arms comes with the responsibility to learn safe use, and to not use them unlawfully. And the right to vote comes with the responsibility to be well-informed.

Any right to health care would necessitate that people make lifestyle choices that are not detrimental to health. Smoking, drinking to excess, use of illegal drugs and unhealthy food choices all contribute heavily to costly health care issues. If health care is a right, those costs are paid for by everyone. No one has any right to impose excess financial burden on others simply because they choose unhealthy lifestyles.

Therefore, if health care is to be a right, then the people need to choose healthy lifestyles. And like violators of any other "right", if a person chooses an unhealthy lifestyle, he no longer has the protection of the right to health care, just like a gun-wielding criminal loses his right to keep and bear arms, or a perjurer goes to prison.

Life comes with responsibilities, like it or not. Health care should be a right, but like any other right an individual can forfeit it if he or she fails to live up to the responsibilities it comes with.

If A Pandemic Hits Your Community...

With the coronavirus scare, a lot of folks are (rightfully) concerned.


It's not enough to be concerned! Every community, family and individual should be prepared, because a pandemic is not a question of "if", but of "when".


My parents barely escaped the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1917-191 9 that killed as many as 100 MILLION people. Today, a pandemic could kill a billion or more because rapid and regular air travel (not available in 1917) could allow a bug to spread worldwide before we even start seeing symptoms. By then it is too late.


And even though social media reduces the amount of personal contact in some circles, that is not enough to stem an epidemic. Therefore it is wise - even imperative - that we take steps to protect ourselves at least to some extent. Here are some things everyone can do to lessen the chance they will fall victim.


On a COMMUNITY level, if an epidemic hits your area, close the schools. Set up teams that can take turns at picking up and distributing everyday necessities to residents, and checking on the elderly and disabled so the number of people "out and about" is reduced.


On a FAMILY or PERSONAL level:

• Have appropriate medical and purification supplies on hand - at least several Lysol canisters, several bottles of hydrogen peroxide surgical gloves and masks (rated N95), as well as building up a supply of any prescriptions you and family members require 
• 
  Keep a supply of expendables like toilet paper
• 
  Use gloves when touching ANYTHING that comes from outside, including mail. Immediately dispose of junk mail and opened envelopes
• 
  Wear gloves and mask when venturing out of doors, and keep at least three feet from any other person
• 
  Avoid using cash unless you pay the exact amount - you do not want to handle change that perhaps an infected person handled And wear gloves when using a card, and place it into an envelope after using. When you get home, spray it with lysol and dispose of the envelope.
• 
  Wash hands and face regularly and often, with the hottest water you can tolerate for 30 seconds. A virus can withstand up to 130 degrees, so it would be wise to increase the setting on your water heater to 140
• 
  Spray lysol on all fixtures - doorknobs, fridge handles, toilets etc. on a regular basis

Take the time to THINK about everything you do, and take steps designed to reduce your risk.


If a pandemic hits your community, I wish you luck. And if you are not properly prepared, you may need more than mere luck.

What Trump Knows that Democrats And the Media Don't

Ever since Trump won in 2016 the mainstream media and all Democrat politicians and people on the left  have slammed him for not understanding how "foreign policy" works. They said he would start a war with North Korea - nope! They said he would start a war with Iran - nope again. And even the so-called diplomats, claiming expertise, trashed Trumps method of dealing with both allies and enemies. They, too, were proven wrong, as he gets countries to pony up with NATO, and gets concessions in trade deals.

There is one thing that Trump knows that seems to have escaped the attention of the naysayers. Perhaps it is because dealing with nations is not all that different from dealing with contractors, banks and local governments. And no one in the media or in Congress has "been there, done that". Not like Trump.

It's a little something I like to call "learning from history."

America helped China in their Sino-Japanese War. China is an enemy now. We helped Russia fight off the Nazis in WWII - Russia is now an enemy. We helped Osama BinLaden fight the Russians in Afghanistan - he then turned our own weapons against us.

On the other hand, we went to war with England - twice - and beat them. They are now an ally. We went to war with Mexico and beat them. Mexico is now a "sort of" ally. We went to war with Germany - twice - and beat them. Italy. Japan. Beat them. They are now allies.

Are you seeing a correlation? Every time we befriend a nation, they turn on us, and every time we beat them in a war they become our staunchest allies.

Democrats and the media have never figured that out - but Donald Trump has. Trump knows the truth in the words of Teddy Roosevelt and Ronnie Reagan - "Speak softly and carry a big stick", and "Peace through strength."

When Trump butters up Kim Jung Un, that is the "speak softly" part. But then he backs it up with a big stick. He is doing the same with Iran. And while there is no guarantee that it will bring peace, it is the best option short of having to go to war.

For those who fail to see why it is that war turns enemies to friend and vice versa, it is as simple as this - everyone respects strength, and everyone detests weakness. That is in our genes - human nature - because it all goes back to the First Law of Nature - survival of the fittest.

Trump understands...

Economics for Dummies - Left vs Right

There is a growing misconception in America concerning economics. On one side you have people like Bernie Sanders and others on the left who believe the economy is a sum total thing that needs to support all people equally, and on the other side you have people like Donald Trump and others on the right who believe the economy is not sum total - that it can be expanded to "raise all boats".

Think of the economy as if it were a pie, and everyone grabs a piece. Some people only get a small piece while others get larger pieces, all dependent upon ones education and personal effort. The left sees this as unfair to those with a small piece, so they want to take from those with bigger pieces and redistribute it among the less fortunate, in an effort to create "equality". The left equates equality with fairness, though one has nothing to do with the other. It simply is not "fair" to take from someone who spent years in higher education, worked hard for 25 years and risked everything he or she had, and give it to someone who did little or nothing to earn it, having spent their life doing none of that.

The economic theory of the left also does not consider unintended consequences - when you take productive wealth that is typically used by the wealthy to create jobs, develop new products etc. and turn it into unproductive wealth that is not used to make society better and richer, you effectively REDUCE the amount of pie available by stifling an expansion of the amount of pie available. The pie cannot grow larger without adding more of the ingredients - investing in growth, production, jobs.

Capitalists like Trump understand that the best way to insure everyone has enough pie is to make the pie bigger, or to bake more pies. Certainly, the less fortunate will always have less than others, but they will still have MORE PIE! If you doubt that, just take a look at Americas poor compared to the poor in socialist "single pie" nations. Where once even our own poor were truly living in poverty, dying in sweat shops and starving, most of our poor today have cell phones, iPads, microwave ovens, internet access and widescreen TV. Americas poor are wealthier than many "middle class" families in other countries. They have been raised up through capitalism, where those who earn great wealth are permitted to reinvest it into baking more pies, rather than have their wealth confiscated and tossed onto barren ground.

In America, Republicans believe a person is entitled only to that which he or she earns as long as they are physically and/or mentally capable of supporting themselves. Those who are handicapped to a point where they are unable to do so should be provided for by those of us who are able. This excludes those who are capable, but unwilling. The unwilling should be allowed to wallow in the misery of their own making. "All men are created equal", but they must work and do their part to maintain their equality.

Democrats on the other hand believe not in fairness, but equality.  The mistake they make is in believing that the two are one in the same. They also mistakenly believe that "equal" means "same" - that to be equal, we must all have the same amount of everything. Again, the two are not synonymous. If not willing to expend the time, effort and risk, they get what they deserve - that is  fair.

If a person fails to get educated, and fails to put in the effort required to succeed, they will assuredly have less than others, but what they have will be equal to the effort put into it. And THAT is fair.

Now, Democrats will, perhaps righfully claim that many people do not have the same access to education and opportunity as some others may have. That is true - but it does not change anything. Such persons must try harder than others. Abe Lincoln never went to school - he educated himself and became President. Henry Ford only had a 4th grade education but went on to build one of the biggest companies in America, and in doing so, transformed America. In an era where blacks had little access to opportunity, people like Sidney Poitier worked harder and created his own opportunity. Certainly, some of us face greater obstacles than others, but that just means you have to try harder. It does not give you a right to take from others. Stealing is stealing, whether you do it yourself or let the government do it for you.

Here is the short take - fair does not mean equal, and equal does not mean same. A person can complain about the size of their piece of the pie, and attempt to steal from another, or that person can get to work and bake his own damned pie. He is the only one standing in his way. Like I tell employees, "I don't want excuses. I want RESULTS!"

"When you spend as many years getting educated as I have;  spend as many years busting your butt 100+ hours a week to build a business; and risk every cent you have, or ever will have to make it all work, then and only then will you be entitled to have what I have". - Bill Vaughn

If Extraterrestrials Exist, Who (or What) Are They

 

There have been reports of UFO's and alien visitations for well over 8,000 years. Many cultures claim their civilizations sprouted from alien contact.

Maybe. Maybe not. But there is little doubt that more and more people are seeing and reporting such things around the world, with many now providing credible video evidence. The question should be: who, or rather what are they, and what is/are their objective(s) concerning Earth and its inhabitants?

Most people tend to believe they would be "friendly" and have good, or even no intentions; that they are simply studying us, or perhaps planning to make official contact once we prove ourselves "worthy".

BUNK! Presuming for a moment that alien beings are actually living creatures, there is almost zero chance that their intentions are good, or beneficial to humanity, and nearly 100% chance that their intentions focus only on their needs, and their own survival. It is called LIFE, and no matter how advanced that life may be, it is still subject to the first law of nature - survival of the fittest. Every living thing must consume other living things. Something must die in order for something else to live. Look around - can you find any living organism that does not live by consuming something else that is either living, or has lived? Even plants feed off composted materials from other once living things. And any civilization that has existed long enough to be advanced enough to pay us a visit, well, they have long since outgrown the resources of their home planet, and must seek out new resources for continued growth. And that means they would likely want OUR resources.

Okay, so it is a high probability that any living alien will not have our best interests at heart. But that is alright, since the odds of aliens being living creatures are slim to none. Think about it for a moment...

UFO's defy all laws of nature. No living creature imaginable could possibly survive a 10,000 year voyage. And even if they have found a way to traverse space by bending time/space, there still exists other encumbrances to living beings - no living creature could possibly survive traveling at the extreme speeds that UFO's seem capable of, then either stop on a dime, or make a complete reversal of direction at high speed. Yeah, sure, maybe they can control gravity, too. But here is something to consider - what are the odds a living entity could travel such distances, survive such speeds and gravitational forces, and to go through all that just to watch us skinny-dip in McDonald's pond? What is their purpose?

So let's now presume that aliens are not living entities at all. Perhaps aliens smart enough to get here are also at least as smart as we are. I think that is a safe bet! Consider...

Living organisms face huge, and possibly insurmountable obstacles for traveling light years through the universe. Anything intelligent enough to even consider that is also intelligent enough to let something else take the risks. Non-life forms such a cyborgs or robots can do the job better and with few issues. We do that sort of thing now - a tornado hits, we send robots into the rubble searching for signs of life.

So now we have an intelligent life form that creates cyborgs and/or robots to do the heavy lifting. To be effective, they would eventually have to make the cyborgs "sentient", capable of free thought and reason. For space travel, they would need that. What they no longer need are the living creatures that created them.  It is nothing new for a sentient being to turn on its Creator, is it?

So now we have a case not too different from "Battlestar Galactica", where the non-living entities are the dominant race and have eliminated or enslaved the creators because they are deemed to be a threat. On the bright side, they probably do not need to consume anything except some form of energy and raw materials for reproduction, so in that respect they are not a threat to us. Yet they are very much a threat because we pose a threat to them!

For a million years, Mankind never quite progressed much. Then, suddenly, he takes off - from making fire to making beer only took 40,000 years. And from making beer to the Roman empire - just 4,000 years. And from the Roman empire to the first airplane - just 4,000 years. And from the Wright brothers first flight to landing on the moon - less than 60 years. And from the moonwalk to all of modern tech, robotics, cloning and 600 cable channels - just 40 years. So, how did we get from fire to space travel so quickly?

Many cultures claim to inherit their newfound skills and knowledge from "star people" of one ilk or another. Let's assume for a moment that there is more fact than fiction in that.

Cyborgs, whose only reason for existing is to propagate and populate the entire universe and make us all one, big happy family may have found this blue granite marble in space, as they have found many others, and they empower the dumb residents with knowledge - as it says in Genesis, "eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge." And they keep "feeding" us information and knowledge that will help us progress - like when Edison got the bright idea for using electricity, or Marconi and his radio. All the while they are "helping" us to grow, learn, progress. But to what end?

Here is where it gets insidious - all the while, they are leading us to robotics, and then cyborgs - which is exactly where we are, at the threshold today. And the goal is to have us eventually make ourselves irrelevant - useless - to where the cyborgs have taken over completely - much like in the flick "Terminator". The cyborg aliens are providing humans with the ability to create cyborgs. That is how they would reproduce.

The ultimate goal of any non-living "life form" such as cyborgs would likely be  to make everything like them, and to control everything. A hive, if you will - if you are a Star Trek the Next Generation fan, you know of such things - in STTNG the hive, or collective is the Borg.

What if these extraterrestrials are helping us create cyborg/robots while at the same time turning existing humans into compliant "transhuman" slaves to serve them?

The short take - if aliens are living creatures, they will not be here for our best interests - they will have an ulterior survival motive. They will require resources - ours! If, however, they are cyborgs, and things like time and space mean nothing to them, then their objective would be to make us like themselves - a superior, dominant  race of cyborgs, eliminating humanity.

Because ultimately, intelligence - whether natural or artificial - requires creating something. And creating requires resources. And living creatures use up those resources. To cyborgs, it is only logical and intelligent to eliminate the drain on resources, particularly if those who are draining them happen to be aggressive - like humans!

After all, what would YOU do if some creature inferior to you and aggressive were to use up and lay waste to the resources YOU need for survival? What do we do about coyotes raiding livestock? Deer eating your vegetable garden?

Yes, what would YOU do?
