THROTTLE UP

“For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.” Richard Feynman – Rogers Commission

5 Things You May Not Know About the Challenger Shuttle Disaster ...

“It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management. What are the causes and consequences of this lack of agreement? Since 1 part in 100,000 would imply that one could put a Shuttle up each day for 300 years expecting to lose only one, we could properly ask “What is the cause of management’s fantastic faith in the machinery? … It would appear that, for whatever purpose, be it for internal or external consumption, the management of NASA exaggerates the reliability of its product, to the point of fantasy.” – Richard Feynman – Rogers Commission

The phrase “Throttle Up” jumped into my consciousness in the last week when Trump and his coronavirus task force of government hacks and bureaucrat lackeys announced the guidelines for re-opening America, as if a formerly $22 trillion economy, tied to a $90 trillion global economy, could be turned off and on like a light switch. Clap off, clap on. It just doesn’t work that way. The arrogance and hubris of people who think they can declare a global shut down for a virus and think they can easily deal with the intended and unintended consequences of doing so, is breathtaking in its outrageous recklessness and egotistical belief in their own infallibility.

This contemptible belief in their own superiority has permeated every fiber of those who rule over us, particularly among captured central bankers, corrupt politicians, bought off scientists, and billionaire oligarchs. It is the same groupthink, purposeful failure to address risks, and willfully ignoring those in the trenches that murdered seven astronauts on January 28, 1986 and has created the 2nd Great Depression of today. “Throttle Up” is going to result in the same outcome as it did in 1986.

Thirty-four years ago, on a cold January morning, Space Shuttle Challenger thundered into a crystal-clear blue Florida sky on its 10th voyage into space. The seven astronauts, including civilian Christa McAuliffe, put their trust in the “experts” from NASA, Thiokol, and Rockwell that the shuttle was safe and launching when the temperature was 30 degrees would not pose any added risks. When Richard Covey in Mission Control informed the crew to “go at throttle up”, they expected what their training told them would happen.

Instead, Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in a horrific display witnessed live on TV by 17% of the American population. School children all over the country were watching in their classrooms because McAuliffe was a school teacher chosen from thousands to go into space. It was a tragedy that shook the nation and led to one of Reagan’s better speeches that night, where he addressed the nation’s school children.

Peggy Noonan Recalls One of President Reagan's Finest Moments

“I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle’s takeoff. I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It’s all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It’s all part of taking a chance and expanding man’s horizons. The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them.”

And he ended with this line from the poem ‘High Flight’:

“We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of Earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’”  

Thus, began the politician’s use of death to create heroes when human error, hubris, and recklessness is the true cause of avoidable tragedy and despair. Those seven astronauts were not heroes, they were victims. Just as we are all victims of the incompetency, arrogance, corruption and greed of those who lead our government, financial system, and corporate fascist oligarchy passing for capitalism in this globalist-controlled fraud of a former republic.

Using victims to create false heroes has now been elevated to an art form by politicians, the corporate media and mega-corporations to push whatever agenda supports their narrative. The propaganda machine is their most useful tool, as decades of dumbing down the public through government school indoctrination has created millions of pliable useful idiots who will believe anything presented by “experts” on the boob tube. The fear and panic created by politicians and the media about a virus only marginally more dangerous than the common flu is the perfect representation of this power over reality.

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster is a perfect analogy for the current debacle being perpetrated on the American people by fecklessly corrupt authoritarian politicians, IYI medical “experts”, and fear mongering fake news media pushing the narrative in whatever direction benefits their bottom line. There is the simple technical reason why the Challenger blew up and then there is the real reason – the truthful explanation. What we must understand from history and experience is, if we don’t accept the narratives pushed by “experts” and think critically based upon facts, the truth will eventually be revealed.

The immediate cause of the explosion was a failure in the O-rings sealing the aft field joint on the right solid rocket booster, causing pressurized hot gases and eventually flame to “blow by” the O-ring and contact the adjacent external tank, causing structural failure. The truth is, decisions made and not made over years sealed the fate of those victims, just as we are facing today with this man-made global catastrophe.

After the shuttle disaster, politicians do what they do best, create a commission to cover-up the true cause and protect the establishment from blame. It was led by William Rogers, a government bureaucrat for decades, along with numerous other people with a vested interest in protecting NASA, the massive defense corporations sucking off the government teat, and the crooked politicians supporting NASA.

There were a couple of members from the trenches, like Sally Ride and Chuck Yeager, but the thorn in the side of the establishment was theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman. Despite being racked by cancer, Feynman reluctantly agreed to join the commission, knowing he was going to be out of his element in the swamp of Washington D.C.   The nation’s capital, he told his wife, was “a great big world of mystery to me, with tremendous forces.”

Feynman immediately created problems by thinking outside the box and having the gall to ignore the excuses and lies of high-level managers at NASA, Thiokol and Rockwell, while seeking the opinions of the actual engineers who did the real work. His unwillingness to toe the company line irritated the old guard looking to coverup the truth.  During a break in one hearing, Rogers told commission member Neil Armstrong, “Feynman is becoming a pain in the ass.”

The establishment always thinks anyone who questions their authority or expertise is a pain in the ass, at best. Often, they treat anyone with an opposing viewpoint as the enemy, and will undertake any means to shut them up and destroy them. Witness how Youtube and Google are currently memory holing anything questioning the establishment narrative about this virus or Joe Biden’s sexual assault on a young woman as a Senator. Feynman embarrassed the “experts” on national TV when he conducted a simple demonstration of why the shuttle blew up.

COVID-19: Ignorance, Uncertainty And Doubt

“I took this stuff I got out of your [O-ring] seal and I put it in ice water, and I discovered that when you put some pressure on it for a while and then undo it, it doesn’t stretch back. It stays the same dimension. In other words, for a few seconds at least, and more seconds than that, there is no resilience in this particular material when it is at a temperature of 32 degrees. I believe that has some significance for our problem.” – Richard Feynman

The truth is top management at NASA knew the O-rings were defective in 1977 and contained a potentially catastrophic flaw. NASA managers also disregarded warnings from engineers about the dangers of launching posed by the low temperatures of that morning, and failed to adequately report these technical concerns to their superiors. Thiokol engineer Bob Ebeling in October 1985 wrote a memo—titled “Help!” so others would read it—of concerns regarding low temperatures and O-rings.

There were numerous teleconferences on the 27th of January where Ebeling and other engineers argued against the launch due to the freezing temperatures. According to Ebeling, a second conference call was scheduled with only NASA and Thiokol management, excluding the engineers. Thiokol management disregarded its own engineers’ warnings and now recommended the launch proceed as scheduled. Ebeling told his wife that night Challenger would blow up. He was right.

The Commission attempted to let NASA’s culture off the hook with no recommended sanctions against the deeply flawed organization. Feynman could not in good conscience recommend NASA should continue without a suspension of operations and a major overhaul. His fellow commission members were alarmed by Feynman’s dissent. Feynman was so critical of flaws in NASA’s “safety culture” that he threatened to remove his name from the report unless it included his personal observations on the reliability of the shuttle, which appeared as Appendix F.

The quote at the beginning of this article about upper management believing there was only a 1 in 100,000 chance of disaster, when the odds were really 1 in 100 or less, came from Feynman’s dissent in Appendix F. The fools at NASA and on the Commission didn’t understand or willfully ignored Feynman’s first principle:

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.” – Richard Feynman

The truth stands on its own and is self-evident. Feynman is an example of an actual hero, not an MSM touted hero like Bernanke, Paulson, Geithner, Powell and the dozens of other psychopaths in suits who have been portrayed in the press as brilliant financial minds that saved the world. Real heroes take a singular stand for the truth, when everyone else goes along with mistruths, half-truths, and false narratives of those with a subversive self-serving agenda. The world is inundated in a blizzard of lies, designed to further the plans of those who control the levers of power and wealth.

Lies, backed by an unceasing stream of propaganda and fear, are being used to panic the masses into willingly abandon their freedoms, liberties and rights for the chains of false safety, security, and state control over every aspect of their lives. It is astonishing to watch in real time as a vast swath of America cowers in their homes, as demanded by their authoritarian elected leaders, while their livelihoods and net worth are purposely destroyed to benefit the .1% ruling class.

I see multiple analogies today with the shuttle disaster and the lessons learned and not learned. The leadership of NASA did not learn, as the same disregard for facts and data led to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster seventeen years later.

Just as the mid-level engineers at Thiokol warned of imminent disaster for years before the tragedy, there have been voices in the wilderness (scorned and ridiculed as conspiracy theorists) warning about the reckless arrogance of the Federal Reserve and their Wall Street owners, as they pumped up the largest financial bubble in world history as their solution for the catastrophe created by their previous monetary disaster in 2008. Just as the hubristic out of touch leadership of NASA murdered fourteen innocent astronauts, the Fed has now twice destroyed millions of lives in the last twelve years.

These self-proclaimed experts have known the financial system was going to explode since the middle of 2019 when they began a series of desperate ruses, behind the curtain of the debt saturated Ponzi scheme, to keep the Wall Street cabal and hedge fund billionaires from facing the consequences of their fraudulent monetary machinations.

The surprise cutting of interest rates and emergency repo operations every night as we entered 2020 covered up the imminent disaster, as the mindless Harvard and Wharton MBAs programmed their high frequency trading computers to buy, buy, buy. Best economy ever. Greatest in the history of the world. Stock market at all-time highs. Then the China flu arrived, just in time. A quick 30% plunge in the stock market was all the Fed needed to rescue their true constituents – Wall Street and billionaire hedge funds – with $6 trillion, under the guise of saving the financial system for the little people.

If you want to figure out who benefits from a man-made crisis, just follow the money. The Federal government has committed at least $3 trillion of your grandchildren’s money to the crisis thus far, with the Federal Reserve announcing another $6 trillion of monetary support. That’s $9 trillion, or $70,000 per household. The average household size is 2.5. If we assume each household got their $1,200 Covid-19 rebate (actually just giving them back the taxes they already pay), that’s $3,000 per household.

A critical thinking individual might wonder who got the other $67,000 of stimulus, or 95.7% of the money allocated to “save America”. It certainly hasn’t made its way to small business owners who are going out of business faster than burning gas through a defective O-ring. If only $400 billion is making its way into the pockets of formerly working Americans, where did the other $8.6 trillion go?

It went directly into the pockets of Wall Street bankers, hedge fund managers, and the biggest corporations on the planet. The Fed has used this faux crisis to further enrich and bailout the richest men on the planet, while again dropping interest rates to zero and throwing grandma under the bus again. Let her eat cat food, declares Jerome Powell, champion and hero of downtrodden bankers. He’ll be “earning” $25 million a year from Wall Street as his payoff, the minute he saunters out of the Eccles Building in a couple years.

As unemployment approaches 20%, GDP plunges by 30%, food banks are running out of food, citizens remain locked in their homes under threat of arrest, and human misery approaches 1930 Great Depression levels, the Fed has managed to buy enough toxic debt and artificially rig the stock market, to engineer a 27% surge from its March lows. We should all applaud the brilliance of Powell and his fellow sycophants, as they have saved the asses of the .1%, for now.

The Second COVID-19 Bailout Still Won't Be Enough

The fate of this country was sealed well before this overblown hyped coronavirus appeared, to accelerate our demise. The warnings about too much debt, rigged financial markets, unrestrained politicians running trillion dollar deficits, silicon valley giants conspiring with the Deep State to turn the country into a surveillance state, a military industrial complex creating conflict around the globe, and a state media propaganda machine providing false information to the masses, were dismissed by those who could have acted.

The deficit is now expected to hit $3.7 trillion in 2020, pushing the national debt to $27 trillion. This country is 231 years old and 85% of our debt has been taken on in the last 23 years. The Fed’s balance sheet was $800 billion in 2008. It will shortly surpass $10 trillion, just a mere 1,250% increase in 12 years. Do you understand the analogy with the Space Shuttle Challenger yet?

Fed Cut Back on Helicopter Money for Wall Street & the Wealthy ...

We’ve left the launchpad at the same rate and angle as the Fed balance sheet. Those in charge assure us they have everything under control, but the coronavirus will prove to be our frozen O-ring. It has been decades of mismanagement, corruption, bad decisions, horrible leadership, delusional thinking, herd mentality, and an inability to summon the courage to deal with critical problems before they blew our country into a million smoking pieces of debris.

Average Americans are trapped in the crew cabin relying on Trump, Powell, Mnuchin, and a myriad of other “experts” to safely launch the American economy back into space. Trump has convened a re-opening task force consisting of dozens of CEOs from the biggest mega-corporations on earth. I know because I watched him read their names for fifteen minutes during one of his daily mind-numbing press conferences. If you had any doubt about who your leaders work for, that list tells you all you need to know. No one from your local steak shop, butcher or candlestick maker are represented on this task force. It reminded me of the list of prominent people chosen for the Rogers Commission.

Coronavirus: Trump names advisory group to study reopening economy

The belief by those in charge that things can just go on as if nothing has happened are as delusional as the NASA administrators who were willfully blind to the truth of an impending disaster. The actions taken by the political and financial arms of the Deep State have guaranteed this malfunction will prove fatal for our country. The only question is how many seconds we have before our throttle up moment. I tend to be a pessimist, so I am leaning towards an explosion before the November election.  The forthcoming financial catastrophic detonation will set off a chain of events considered impossible just a few short months ago.

The core elements of this Fourth Turning (debt, civic decay, global disorder) are going to juxtapose and connect, accelerating into a chain reaction of chaos, civil uprising, global war, mass casualties, the fall of empires, and ultimately the destruction of the existing social order (aka Deep State). Hopefully, heroes of Feynman’s stature will arise to help rebuild our country based upon common sense, truthfulness, factual assessment of our situation, and honoring the essential principles of our Constitution. Reality must take precedence over delusions, propaganda, and lies for us to regain our nation. Are we capable of learning the lessons from this major malfunction?

Surprisingly, Oil is turning out to be the only reliable proxy about what is really happening economic wise.

yes, it will be the industry to watch, as the world “restarts”. Right now, all tankers are full, and waiting off shore, because there is no capacity to store refined products. normally all the refiners push products out onto pipelines, where they are then stored in local tank fields scattered around all transit hubs (rivers, lakes, train lines) near cities. All the local tank farms are filled, because demand was destroyed by lock down.

Deep down in my heretical mind, I think this is all part of some sort of test:
1. see how easy it will be to implement the next global lock down
2. see what is actual impact of burning fossil fuel.
(they will collect data that will be used to model the impact of the shutdown on global temps)

I imagine that .gov will issue a fatwa that orders US car companies to convert to electic/hybrid if they want to get bailed out, this is the perfect excuse for changing the world.

NASA is a embezzlement racket run against the bank account of the American people and no one ever questions it. Why? Because we’re going to colonize space.

We’re going to colonize space when we can’t even colonize the north and south poles, both of which have oxygen. But we going to launch vast cities in space and live off UV grown plants and drink recycled sweat and piss, all in the coldest, darkest, space void of oxygen man can find. Well maybe not in this lifetime , plebe, but the next. Trust the plan and allocate more money.

And the American people swallowed this bullshit with no questions asked.

Colonizing space is a lie and any who believe in such nonsense are fools.

NASA is deep state too.

From the article: “ If we assume each household got their $1,200 Covid-19 rebate (actually just giving them back the taxes they already pay)”.

Horsehockey. Given that the last time I looked, over half the population pay zero, or negative net tax, and given higher income earners are not getting the $1200, then that is clearly not the case, and the $1200 is additional welfare created out of thin air. Any taxes paid are already spent. And tax take accounts for only what, 60%,of fed expenditure?

This payment is just more welfare financed by debt, and can hardly be fairly called giving them back their tax money, given most pay no net fed taxes to begin with.

Other than that, I heartily agree.

It also left out Gen Z that is just getting started post-college life. Because of how it is written, my recently graduated son who works fulltime, pays his own bills, and graduated with zero college debt doesn’t get Trump Bucks. Nor can I claim the smaller amount and give it to him.

A coworker with 2 daughters who were similarly shafted summed it up when he recieved a callback from our Senator who is seeking re-election.

“To a young adult just starting out that is a lot of money. You guys blew it by making sure the same group being enticed by Bernie and the Socialists don’t see anything. You proved to them that the system is rigged against them and gave truth to Bernie’s Bullshit.”

Way back in 1987, the VP of manufacturing, in his eternal wisdom, decided to implement a material handling system that would ferry finished goods to each of 22 loading docks. The system would scan bar codes (cutting edge stuff for its day) and direct each piece to the proper loading bay. This idiot VP made the decision and committed nearly $1 million for this system without ever asking me, the senior production engineer, if it would work.

I, of course, was assigned the task of implementing the system. This was before a single bit of hardware or software was delivered. I went through the specs, and ran the numbers.

At the next project meeting, which included the president, a few VPS, etc.m they asked me for an update. I said I have run the numbers, the system will not work, there is insufficient conveyor/storage capacity, and no allowance has been made for any product delays that might occur during assembly which will crater the entire system, and my advice is to cancel the order and salvage as much as you can.

After much sputtering and name calling, I was removed from the project, and a less senior engineer assigned. Of course, the system was implemented, and immediately failed as I had said. The entire plant stopped for weeks, and the idiot VP was fired.

This exemplifies what Admin says.

We were waiting for launch a second night and my co-worker slammed his fist on the desk. “Why don’t they fucking launch?” So they launch. It blows up. Our Q asked “Where’s the shuttle?” as we watched diverging plumes, a ball of smoke marking the 73 second time hack. The announcer says there’s been a major malfunction and they are watching the situation closely. We see McAuliffe’s mom mouth the words, blew up, and start to cry. My co-worker, immediately much wiser, says – “They should have waited.”

The Evil Fuckers remain fully in charge. The money went where it usually goes: offshore non-bank financial operations; art; private islands and yachts; large land holdings in the West; ships – other than tankers at the present moment; castles in Liechtenstein…

HSF says “ It simply rode the wave of productivity of the class of people who actually do things, but now the host is near death and the parasites are going to have to find another or starve.”

Largely true. But that huge wave was generated by the annihilation of all the developed world at the end of WW2 – except for the US. That gave the US a huge wave to ride while everyone else was drowning. Of course, that wave slowly dissipated, while the rest were learning to swim, and the wave riders became convinced that they were invincible and entitled to a huge wave forever, without having to create it themselves.

And they began to replace the wave with massive debt, massive unfunded promises, crony capitalism, etc. They mixed in a huge dose of family break-up, poor education, poor work ethic, and an inability to see what globalising their economy would do to thea selves.

Gee, what a surprise it is ending poorly. Maybe someone should have shouted out a warning.

The dynamics of groupthink and mob rule force those armed with facts to be completely ignored in direct proportion to their overall comprehension of said facts; while the parade of the least informed are increasingly given the floor, the podium, the microphone, and the spotlight; which, in turn, causes those armed with the most facts to seek solace out upon the interwebic blogosphere- and, usually, out of sheer frustration.

But, then, there are the narcissistic psychopaths. They’re an entirely different story altogether. Because they’re usually in charge of the group, mob, organization, corporation, or entity; and they’re often in charge only because lightweighted turds always float to the top of the toilet bowl. It’s science.

Mnuchin optimistic about economic recovery in summer

“I think as we begin to reopen the economy in May and June, you’re going to see the economy really bounce back in July, August, September,” Mnuchin said. “And we are putting in an unprecedented amount of fiscal relief into the economy. You’re seeing trillions of dollars that’s making its way into the economy and I think this is going to have a significant impact.”

Our engineers said the Shuttle was a pig that will fail about 1 in 30 missions (as I remember) whereas the CIA/NASA was saying only 1 in 100,000. The CIA/NASA makes the DNC look sharp.

Still though it was looking like a great move on his part.All that space,and no elective surgeries. That is until the corona-nonsense turned out to be mostly BS.

The comparison to the shuttle disaster is correct except for one thing . The time line ! The economic tsunami started building in the 70’s and reached that ever ominous point of no return in the mid 80’s !
As the BIG CLUB CIRCLE JERK of Wall Street to K-Street To Capitol Street dismantled the bulk of the means of production in America and made deals world wide exploiting poor populations including children to labor while highly paid and skilled Americans were put on the unemployment line . Well done , the investor class along with their political class firmly in their back pocket reaped trillions while middle America and the tax base that supported local government (schools police fire roads trash etc..)evaporated . State and local had a plan though just raise taxes on the Big Clubs victims so government employee retirement and income stays at acceptable levels for government unions but screw the steel workers screw the electrical worker …..!
Now it’s all come to a head , in 2008 the club scurried about like cats covering up shit and they did it for a while !
This Coronavirus came just in time for both side of the political animals in the swamp .
President Trumps message MAGA echoed thru Americans left behind for decades . We want to believe however I asked the questions that hype and hyperbole will not answer !
Make America Great Again with who and with what ?

The whole state of the union is a house of cards; it’s just that some cards are steel and others are cardboard. The steel cards are the economy and as was stated, there are no small business owners in the deck of corporate executives who will be able to stop the overlords from running (ruining) the show.

There are however cardboard cards, where if enough public pressure can be applied, the whole thing can come crashing down. IMHO the card I’m referring to is the public’s trust in the government and its alphabet agencies. We cannot have an impact on the economy; we’ve been removed from that club, but our resistance to the governments clamping down during the quarantine and our voiced opposition to Barr’s handling of folks like Flynn, can create a wave of opposition that may be able to topple the Ponzi scheme that was once known as the USA.
Frankly, I believe it’s the only card left, but the only way it will be played is by organizing a response. If all the MAGA lemmings would just allow critical thinking to override their hopium, Trump, Barr and others will be forced to respond according to their previous empty promises and do something and not just give lip service.

But it’s probably too late, instead of making good on their promises, martial law will just be imposed a few weeks earlier than planned and the crackdown on opposition will commence, with no quarter given to the patriots.

So, love your friends and family and do not allow yourself to be forcibly vaccinated; there may be something in it that may remove the need of a crackdown.

We are on the way – now losing trust in all of our financial systems, esp. the stock market which, while there used to be SOME intrinsic value (price for earnings), is now a Ponzi joke where prices are illegally manipulated through buybacks and QE#. I have made the case to the SEC that corporate buybacks are illegal because random purchases, rather than predetermined times like dividend payouts, are done to establish a price floor. They ignored me of course as making buybacks illegal would have lowered the market even further than the 30% drop that has now been disposed of by the Fed at the expense of Grandma and Granddad.

I’m glad the private sector is taking over more and more of “space” stuff. The GD enviro-freaks are responsible for both space disasters. The defective ring was a replacement for the previous sealant which had to be replaced because even though it worked very well, it had some “evil” asbestos in it. The asbestos ingredient ring was pliable and flexible, able to adapt to torsion and temperature change. The hard replacement did not flex and had an operating range of temperature. The booster flexed and heated and the treehugger ring cracked. KERBLOOEY!!
The other disaster with the tiles was because those tiles had “evil” fluorocarbons and had to be replaced with an unreliable treehugger approved replacement.
Consider how much time, money and resources were wasted on such unimportant issues as minuscule amounts of asbestos used only in tiny amounts on rare occasions. It seems government can always be counted on to waste extraordinary amounts for such worthless minuscule benefit, if any at all.

Fag face Fauci built this.

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/04/26/giuliani-fauci-gave-3-7-million-to-wuhan-laboratory-in-2014/

Giuliani told host John Catsimatidis. “Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory. And then even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans, we never pulled that money.

Someone said the Eff Bee Eye started an investigation into that Fauci 3.7million but Comey shut it down. I don’t have link at the moment. I can find one if I take the time to do it but it’s not easy.

Probably part of this investigation started by a whistle blower.

“Top U.S. scientist and research pioneer Dr. Judy Mikovits said she cooperated with the FBI during an investigation of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute of Health, alleging Fauci was a workplace tyrant who was under investigation for swiping scientific research, covering up tainted vaccines, doling out lucrative federal grants to feckless cronies and much more.”

FBI Investigation Targeted Dr. Fauci But Comey Pulled the Plug

I think it now obvious that the F***ktards, Bitches and Ingrates doe not work for US. The nothing are more than an enforcement tool for the Deep State criminal tribe.

Just like Cindy McCain said, they all knew but were too afraid to say anything. When Congress is afraid of retribution from Federal law enforcement, what’s that called ? It’s a Police state. We are already there and have been for decades.The USS Liberty is proof of that.

Give this a listen , if you can stand it.

Admin,

Another forward to all my family and friends. Outstanding analysis.

As many here also state I am long on record as believing the Game of Throne Crime Families are fighting for control of the controls of the impending New World Order…and I will stand with the remnant until it is time to go home.

The author is pro Trump as am I about 30% of the time…depending on what he does, not what he does or says…the other 70% it seems he is either a dupe or a Judas. That said this made me laugh out loud many times.

I use UGE Tube and others as much as possible, piss on You Tube.

You can vote with your feet in a lot of ways.

I never forget the chatter of the Challenger. It’s in my memory.

RG: Uh, we have a major malfunction.

RG: The Challenger has exploded. The Challenger has exploded.

Something like that, anyway.

Pathological liars aren’t the smartest folks in the room, but they have learned to play the gullible dumbmasses for all they can. Anyone with a basic understanding of Psych 101 realizes the elites have learned to speak in a manner that their sheep will react to. And the sheep won’t wake up, so here we are. Being spoon fed BS that the masses never question, since it comes from “gov’t experts”, the same folks who gave us the JFK and 9/11 Reports.

Funny how meat processing, specifically, has been so hard hit by this virus and the lockdowns.

Why funny? Guess who has his fingers in “fake meat”?

Bill Gates is partnered with Al Gore and Jack Ma on a fake meat company to replace the cattle, pork and poultry industries, hence the engineered collapse of all slaughter plants and the meat industry in North America

Seven-Up and a dash of Teachers…

Using FAKE victims to create false heroes has now been elevated to an art form by politicians, the corporate media and mega-corporations to push whatever agenda supports their narrative.

Like the supposed 911 hijackers, these astronots are all alive and well, as a cursory internet search will reveal.

In a nutshell…..the Totalitarian agenda has been amazingly successful by scaring the world with fake Plandemic. By Nov we will be in Depression which sadly assures Democratic take over. No more small biz as they were unable to survive the hoax Depression which will cause near 1933 unemploymemt. We will be left with the following: Biden (if he can survive Tara Reede but a Dem POTUS nevertheless), Pelosi, bailed out corporate America and big banks beholden to the Brave New World. And who will be calling all the shots? American media run by Anti Christian leftists. Panama looking good if I can take whats left of my SS check.

Don’t leave Trump out, he’s still a puppet for the banksters too. As I said last time, research Fred Trump to see who their buddies are. They’re ALL in this together, Dems and Repubs are taking America down in one final scam.
And the masses are too dumb to see it, still hanging on to their fake political/media alliances.

Anyone interested is how low MDs and hospital administrators will go to line their pockets with Covid 19 cash, give this a listen.
People are nothing but sources of income for the vermin in the medical industry and the sicker and deader the better.
A pox on them all.

Nurse Sounds Alarm over Bad Medicine in NYC, Ventilators Causing Death

“Remember, they appear to be skewing the numbers of death by COVID. In Pennsylvania, after an audit, they had to remove several hundred deaths listed as COVID. Also, remember, Hospitals (in NYC) get like $13k for a COVID case & an additional $39k for using a ventilator. ”

I am bit upset with Admin. If he would just listen to Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, Joyce Behar and Rachel Maddow he would calm down. All will be well once Biden is in the White House, a man of integrity, vision and sticky fingers, in more ways than one. We stand on the threshold of great things, like the Titanic sinking, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Mongol invasions! Be of good cheer!

Richard Feynman is well known for his quote on the imaginary particle called the “photon”, which 99.999999% of the world believes is real. In his book, “The Strange Theory of Light”, Feynman stated, “A virtual photon is an abstraction of calculations and understandings. The term is vague and loosely defined as they never appear as the inputs or outputs of experiments. Their existence are questionable at best however, they are very useful at rendering concepts in making equations balance out.” end quote.

So what Feynman was saying is that the particle called the “photon”, was nothing more than an imaginary particle created out of the minds of quantum physicists because they couldn’t otherwise understand the concept of what “light” is. And because quantum physicists are nothing more than mathematicians who count things to place into their computer algos, they had to “quantify” light into a physical thing, despite light is not physical at all.

In an electro-magnetic universe, light is an electro-magneitc “rate of induction”. Light is not made of photon particles at all because light is a field and fields are not quantitative, they are qualitative. But that didn’t stop the particalists from quantifying light, so they did. They gave light a physical property by inventing the photon particle, which it doesn’t really consist of or even exist at all. In fact, the debate about what light really is, has never occurred within the entire history of the scientific community. It was simply decided by quantum physicists decades ago, what light was going to be. No debate required.

So now today we have people believing in things like particles, because these physicists did the same thing to the atom, just as they did to light. Atoms do not consist of particles. Atoms are EM fields, and fields are not particles. You can do many things to a field to change it’s outcome or results. You can squeeze, manipulate, and reshape fields by introducing more of less fields in different configurations. That’s what the periodic table of elements are. The same field being manipulated with itself many times over in differing configurations. No particles of protons, neutrons or electrons are needed. But try telling that to a physicist today and you’ll get a look of utter distain and disbelief as though you had just grown a 3rd central eye. So much for critical thinking.

Our government, large corporations and many Americans are morally corrupt, and guilty of crimes against the Constitution and the American Republic. Knowingly in almost all cases, and with intent to destroy our country and our freedoms. Its time to take a stand, or we will be their slaves.
