"...Science!" It's Not Mad--It's Angry!

"If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."--Winston Churchill

University protestor: "Governor, it's impossible for your generation to understand us. You didn't grow up in a world of instant electronic communications, of cybernetics, of men computing in seconds what once took months, even years, or jet travel, nuclear power, and journeys into space."

Gov. Reagan: "You're absolutely right. Our generation didn't have those things when we were growing up. We invented them."

Reagan dot com: Big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy don’t benefit the little guy. Big benefits big – which creates more big – in a big way. "You can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy. Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.”

"I have never regretted taking science. It is marvellous training for everything. People used to say Latin and Greek. These days science. It teaches you to think straight. I enjoyed the research and I still keep in touch with it but somehow, working day after day in a laboratory was not quite satisfying enough for me. It is for other people, thank goodness, but I wanted to have more contact day by day with people, not only scientists but with ordinary people, and so I gave up science as a profession, but my goodness, thank goodness I learnt it. It has been so useful to me as a politician!" 

Popular Science: "Thatcher graduated from Oxford in 1947 with an undergraduate degree in chemistry. Her fourth-year dissertation was on X-ray crystallography of the antibiotic cocktail gramicidin, and her supervisor, Dorothy Hodgkin, was working at the time on the structure of penicillin. In 1971, Lord Victor Rothschild proposed laws to make government funding of science closer to a business proposition: policy would be shaped by market forces. "Basic" research science (or just "cheap" science) wouldn't be affected, but other research would. Thatcher, then Education Secretary, strangely seemed to shift positions in a decisive meeting on the subject, ultimately agreeing that the market should play a role in government funding of science. It was a controversial decision--121 scientists and doctors signed letters of protest to _The Times_--but Agar marks this as a defining moment, when Thatcher's hard-line conservative policies first took shape. It wasn't a coincidence that the battle was fought over science, either, Agar writes: "it was precisely because Thatcher knew what scientific research was like that made her impervious to claims that science was a special case, with special features and incapable of being understood by outsiders, and therefore that science policy should be left in the hands of scientists. Such a strategy of persuasion and protection might have considerable purchase on a science minister with no direct experience of the working life of a scientist, but not Thatcher." Thatcher was fond of this quote, about Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone and the physicist Michael Faraday: 'When Gladstone met Michael Faraday, he asked him whether his work on electricity would be of any use. "Yes, sir", remarked Faraday with prescience. "One day you will tax it."'

G.K. Chesterton: “Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.”

"Man can be defined as an animal that makes dogmas. As he piles doctrine on doctrine and conclusion on conclusion in the formation of some tremendous scheme of philosophy and religion, he is, in the only legitimate sense of which the expression is capable, becoming more and more human. When he drops one doctrine after another in a refined scepticism, when he declines to tie himself to a system, when he says that he has outgrown definitions, when he says that he disbelieves in finality, when, in his own imagination, he sits as God, holding no form of creed but contemplating all, then he is by that very process sinking slowly backwards into the vagueness of the vagrant animals and the unconsciousness of the grass. Trees have no dogmas. Turnips are singularly broad-minded."--'Heretics'

"If a man feels wicked, I cannot see why he should suddenly feel good because somebody tells him that his ancestors once had tails."

"For instance, I have pointed out the difficulty of keeping a monkey and watching it evolve into a man. Experimental evidence of such an evolution being impossible, the professor is not content to say (as most of us would be ready to say) that such an evolution is likely enough anyhow. He produces his little bone, or little collection of bones, and deduces the most marvellous things from it. He found in Java a piece of a skull, seeming by its contour to be smaller than the human. Somewhere near it he found an upright thigh-bone and in the same scattered fashion some teeth that were not human. If they all form part of one creature, which is doubtful, our conception of the creature would be almost equally doubtful. But the effect on popular science was to produce a complete and even complex figure, finished down to the last details of hair and habits. He was given a name as if he were an ordinary historical character. People talked of Pithecanthropus as of Pitt or Fox or Napoleon. Popular histories published portraits of him like the portraits of Charles the First and George the Fourth. A detailed drawing was reproduced, carefully shaded, to show that the very hairs of his head were all numbered. No uninformed person looking at its carefully lined face and wistful eyes would imagine for a moment that this was the portrait of a thigh-bone; or of a few teeth and a fragment of a cranium. ... They talk of searching for the habits and habitat of the Missing Link; as if one were to talk of being on friendly terms with the gap in a narrative or the hole in an argument, of taking a walk with a non-sequitur or dining with an undistributed middle."--G.K. Chesterton, 'The Everlasting Man'

“A thing may be too sad to be believed or too wicked to be believed or too good to be believed; but it cannot be too absurd to be believed in this planet of frogs and elephants, of crocodiles and cuttle-fish.”

"It is one thing to believe in witches and quite another to believe in witch smellers. I have more respect for the Eugenists, who go about persecuting the fool of the family; because the witch-finders, according to their own conviction, ran a risk. Witches were not the feeble-minded, but the strong-minded --- the evil mesmerists, the rulers of the elements. Many a raid on a witch, right or wrong, seemed to the villagers who did it a righteous popular rising against a vast spiritual tyranny, a papacy of sin. Yet we know that the thing degenerated into a rabid and despicable persecution of the feeble or the old. It ended by being a war upon the weak. It ended by being what Eugenics begins by being."

“Science must not impose any philosophy, any more than the telephone must tell us what to say.”

“I have no patience for political whores who sell their soul for money and power, the epitome of evil. Any smart doctor I know is currently on hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin as a prophylactic, including myself. There has been a relentless war on Donald Trump’s reputation. The Left will do anything to undermine him. Enemies of humanity would rather see the country burn than give the President a win. The drug company has invested millions of dollars, when the cure is $20. There has been zero emphasis on how to have a clinical intervention pre-hospital... NO WHERE ELSE IN MEDICINE EVER DO WE HAVE AN APPROACH WHERE WE LET A FIRE GET OUT OF CONTROL BEFORE WE PUT IT OUT.”

THE FOG OF WAR OF THE WAR ON FOG

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.''--Mark Twain

Well, it's attributed to Twain anyway, although there's no record. Just as there is no record of Carl Sandburg saying this:

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on
to sell Global Warming
to the next city full of gullible rubes.

With Tesla

We've come so very far since Twain's frontier times...

"Since my own day on the Mississippi, cut-offs have been made at Hurricane Island; at island 100; at Napoleon, Arkansas; at Walnut Bend; and at Council Bend. These shortened the river, in aggregate, sixty-seven miles. In my own time a cut-off was made at American Bend, which shortened the river ten miles or more.

Therefore the Mississippi between Cairo [Illinois] and New Orleans was twelve hundred and fifteen miles long one hundred and seventy-six years ago. It was eleven hundred and eighty after the cut-off of 1722. It was one thousand and forty after the American Bend cut-off. It has lost sixty-seven miles since. Consequently its length is only nine hundred and seventy-three miles at present.

Now, if I wanted to be one of those ponderous scientific people, and "let on" to prove what had occurred in a given time in the recent past, or what will occur in the far future by what has occurred in the late years, what an opportunity is here! Geology never had such a chance, nor such exact data to argue from! Nor "development of species," either! Glacial epochs are great things, but they are vague--vague. Please observe:--

In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. This is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolithic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined there streets together, and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen.

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."-- Life on the Mississippi (1883)

I'm crying like Tater Stetler having an existential panic attack when they closed the All-Night Krispy Kreme drive-thru.

Will Rogers: "Now we are living in an age of explanations—and plenty of ’em, too—but no two things that’s been done to us have been explained twice the same way, by even the same man. It’s an age of in one ear and out the other."

"Coolidge is a better example of evolution than either Bryan or Darrow, for he knows when not to talk, which is the biggest asset the monkey possesses over the human."

"Nothing you can't spell will ever work."

                      "If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?"'

To paraphrase Will Rogers, Stupidity didn't get us into this mess; Science did. And Science is working overtime to keep us in it. 

I don't mean frontline doctors. I mean the Professional Big Government/Big Medicine Establishment.

Such as Dr. Fauci, who funded the Wuhan Bio-Lab for years--and conveniently forgot to mention it to the President. I suspect that's why you haven't seen much of him. He doesn't want to asked about it. From the moment he and Dr. Birx came to the President with their wildy inflated and inaccurate models, the science has been suspect. Some of them may be trying to help, but many are the medical equivalent of the State Dept. bureaucrats who tried to impeach the President.

Renowned French Virologist P. Didier Raoult: in over a thousand patients,

only 1 death and a 91% effectiveness with no side effects

Yesterday, the NIH announced a still-secret study of hydroxychloroquine used with azithromycin. They purposely skewed the results by using mostly old, fat black men, many already at the end of life, who had some issues with the azithromycin, which is just an extra preventative–the real medicine is the hydroxychloroquine. But the study is aimed at discrediting HCQ, because Agendas. In other words, they used dying veterans as props and guinea pigs in their War on Trump.
Today, the #Fake $cience Fix is In: “FDA cautions against use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems”. This is the Big Medicine Bureaucracy’s version of the FISA Warrant, The Mueller Report and the Articles of Impeachment.

So the pill works safely in hospitals and safely in African villages--but not in doctors' offices?

The Blobocracy is already pumping fear about a Fall outbreak. And we're told to huddle inside when real Science says fresh air and sunshine are the best disinfectants.

The Left-Wing Big Medical Bureaucracy has teamed-up with Big Left-Wing Media and Big Left-Wing Politicians to oppose the President and thwart our return to freedom and prosperity. If he's for a medicine, they're against it.  If he's for opening, they oppose it. Here's what they do want:

Storing medical information below the skin’s surface

Specialized dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable “on-patient” storage of vaccination history.

Anne Trafton | MIT News Office 

December 18, 2019

"Every year, a lack of vaccination leads to about 1.5 million preventable deaths, primarily in developing nations. One factor that makes vaccination campaigns in those nations more difficult is that there is little infrastructure for storing medical records, so there’s often no easy way to determine who needs a particular vaccine.

MIT researchers have now developed a novel way to record a patient’s vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine.

“In areas where paper vaccination cards are often lost or do not exist at all, and electronic databases are unheard of, this technology could enable the rapid and anonymous detection of patient vaccination history to ensure that every child is vaccinated,” says Kevin McHugh, a former MIT postdoc who is now an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University.

The researchers showed that their new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, can remain for at least five years under the skin, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone. ...The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute..."

21st Century Wire: Bill Gates, MIT Develop New ‘Tattoo ID’ to Check For Vaccinations

December 23, 2019

"Essentially, this is new tech which can allow public administrators, law enforcement and corporate employers, to check within seconds to make sure that you are “safe” to be around,” and do not pose ‘a danger to the rest of the community.’ Could this technology be utilized by governments as an exclusionary tool, or as a mechanism for social engineering? Certainly he potential is there to streamline these two methods of ‘people management.’"...….

We don't want to be branded like stray cattle on Bill Gates' ranch, even if the vaccines were safe--and Gates has a very sketchy record in that regard. 

The Control Freak-Class are out of control. Banning medical treatments. Cell phone-location tracking. Drones. Closing churches. Street camera spying. Contact tracing surveillance. Freeing prisoners. Snitch hotlines--and now, vaccines that microchip the recipients. They won't need to ask "Your papers, please" when you ARE your papers.

"Kids: report your parents to the State!"

Watching the President's Daily Coronavirus Beating yesterday, I suddenly realized that nobody in that room has even mi$$ed a paycheck.

Except, of course, the President. 

I'm old enough to remember when liberal reporters in Vietnam ruthlessly mocked those who said "We have to destroy the village to save the village." Now, it's their exact plan for America.

#Hell No. No more #Fake Science.

Sunshine and fresh air kill the virus. That’s Real Science.

We don’t look at any other aspect of life through the Death Toll alone. If we did, we would ban skydiving, sex, drinking, hiking, swimming, boating, driving–you name it. Vending machines kill a couple people every year. Taking selfies, too. We accept the risks because freedom is worth it. The same people who say lockdown forever also let foreign criminals wander in and out of the country, knowing full well Americans will be hurt and killed. Its worth it to them. They even try to hide the actual numbers–just like China!

The virus Death Toll is not the only metric. There is also bankruptcy, alcoholism, divorces, stress, closed hospitals, etc. No more #Fake Science and false choices.

We want Health.
Safety.
Prosperity.
Freedom. 
Freedom Now…and Forever.

Actual Science--UPDATE: via OAN, A large random study in New York shows about 15% of the population has been exposed, thus making the death rate about a half-percent. Even that number is inflated because anybody who ever sneezed is also classified as a Covid-death.

"Cedars-Sinai-Developed ‘Healight' Medical Device Platform Technology Being Studied as a Potential First-in-Class COVID-19 Treatment

Led by Mark Pimentel, MD, the research team of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) Program at Cedars-Sinai has been developing the patent-pending Healight platform since 2016 and has produced a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating pre-clinical safety and effectiveness of the technology as an antiviral and antibacterial treatment. The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology's significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus."

History, Too--UPDATE: Don Surber: "The meme of George Washington flipping the bird to us is not a joke. He really did fight a revolution in the midst of a smallpox epidemic that was 33 times as deadly as COVID-19. America is not being quarantined. It is being shut down by traitorous governors who ignore decency, the law, and the Constitution to suppress a free people."
