  • The 2020 Black Lives MAtter Riots and The Weather Underground Part-1

    The 2020 Black Lives MAtter Riots and The Weather Underground Part-1
    Jul 20 2020
    As events unfolded after George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis the peaceful protests being held in his honor quickly  turned to violent spectacles. This violence was expressed in physical attacks against police, non-protesting citizens such as business owners and workers, and even occasionally against other protesters who tried to stop the rioters In addition there was generalized vandalism against buildings as well as arson, graffiti painting and looting.   The fact that the protests that developed were intended to be about racism, especially among police officers,  in majority black, urban neighborhoods was obvious. I had personally been seeing a lot of more generalized discontent among people who posted videos on the app Tik Tok so I wasn't really that surprised in one sense.    The people who were doing the complaining in these 60 second video clips were mostly young, late high school or college-age. A number of them, those who were the most vocal, were advocating a change in American government involving Socialism or communism. Personally I don't see anything wrong with this because America is a free society and you are allowed to be a communist or socialist or an anarchist or whatever you want to be and you can even start your own political party to reflect your beliefs. I can't think of a communist or socialist government with an equal degree of freedom.   In this Tik-Tok video one of my favorite and most articulate young Communists expresses some of his views.  He is actually running for president although I think he's like 19 years old and so therefore couldn't actually serve as president of the United States.   After Bernie Sanders dropped out of the  presidential race I noticed a turn in thinking among some of the “Young Communists” (as I called them) toward calling for violence weather specifically by saying things like “burn the corporations” or referring to taking advantage of their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms which I just naturally think of as more of a right wing/Republican ideology.   Because of seeing this undercurrent in American society on social networks before the George Floyd incident happened I wasn't surprised by what followed. So this isn't about the more obvious part of the protests (black lives matter) it's about the undercurrent of “others” that flowed with the current of the peaceful protests creating a path of violence and destruction and the players involved in creating that undercurrent.    To_understand how this change happened let's look at two more videos from Tik Tok these are both by the same girl and she is, according to her profile, from Minneapolis. I'm going to blur out her username just because she is saying things that are maybe not intended for public consumption even though hers is a public profile and therefore there is nothing keeping anyone from finding the video.    I'm going to show the Clips in Reverse sequential order to show you how much that her attitude changed and how quickly it changed between being a radical revolutionary and being totally about black lives matter to the extent that you wouldn't realize it was the same person unless you knew.    In this first video (which is actually from a later date than the next video by her that I will show you) she's expressing everything that was going on on the ground around her at that moment in Minneapolis.  It seems like there were a lot of things that were being spread as truth which may or may not have been accurate because I have not seen much more in the media about those specific points. However it is obvious that her focus is all about what happened to George Floyd and the black lives matter movement.   Now let me jump back to a video that according to the date on the page was made one day before the video that we just watched.  In this video she is expressing a very different viewpoint on things and a different way that she feels they should be reacted to.  listen to her in her own words.   So it isn't like I didn't see that there was certainly the potential for the rioting and violence that accompanied the peaceful protesters because people were talking about doing it before it happened. The people that I saw doing it we're not antifa but they were these otherwise normal average American young people who for whatever reason have become an Emirate with the idea of socialism and communism and of a Revolt by the people to topple the government of America.    of course that is all just talk on social networks until somebody lights the match or in this case until someone breaks the first window. this brings me to my next piece in this little puzzle which is the iconic video of the man,  white man, who started breaking windows in Minneapolis during the initial protests.   He was dressed in a way that made it seem as though he was deliberately trying to call attention to himself. He was dressed all in black, which is something that antifa likes...

  • The Similarity Between Covid-19 and HIV - Short and Long Term Effects

    The Similarity Between Covid-19 and HIV - Short and Long Term Effects
    May 26 2020
    In this report I have gathered information from many sources in order to put together a narrative on what Covid-19 is and what it may do based on scientific evidence that is known at this time. I have tried to speculate as little as possible beyond what is obvious from the quoted source material. My goal is to better educate and inform the public about the Covid-19 pandemic by looking at a past pandemic, HIV. I have found that there are quite a few similarities between Covid-19 and HIV even though they are two different organisms. I believe that understanding these similarities can help us better understand Covid-19. For example, it seems that some people may be immune to Covid-19 infection and I explain why this is so in the report. Below are links to all of the stories and papers that I cite in this report.   Story related links Slide one, french Researcher claims Covid-19 is not natural: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/luc-montagnier-covid-created-lab/ Slide 2 - French scientists claim that first French researcher is wildly incorrect and engaging in Conspiracy Theories: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-04/21/c_138995413.htm Slide 4 - European Scientist article in which writer tries to use BLAST to debunk any Covid-19/HIV connection: https://www.europeanscientist.com/en/big-data/no-sars-cov-2-does-not-contain-hiv-genetic-code/ Slide 5 - Indian paper that claimed artificial HIV sequence insertion into Covid-19 genome: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338957445_Uncanny_similarity_of_unique_inserts_in_the_2019-nCoV_spike_protein_to_HIV-1_gp120_and_Gag Siide 6: What does the Glycoprotein Envelope of HIV do: https://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/169 Slide 7: How HIV makes immune cells commit suicide: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/261597#1 Slide 8: land M-19 can infect T cells!: https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/covid-19-alert-new-study-shows-sars-cov-2-coronavirus-targets-and-destroys-t-cells,-similarly-as-what-hiv-does Slide 9: Paper referenced in slide 8 story: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-020-0424-9 Slide 10: Second paper referenced in slide 8 story: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.11.20062349v1 Slide 11: Hospital stay for Covid-19 may disqualify you from military service: https://www.stripes.com/news/us/contracting-coronavirus-won-t-disqualify-you-from-serving-in-the-military-but-a-hospital-stay-for-it-might-1.628995 Slide 12: Second story commenting on the paper in Slide 9: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200413/Novel-coronavirus-attacks-and-destroys-T-cells-just-like-HIV.aspx Slide 13: Doctor claims that Covid-19 turns off red blood cells ability to carry oxygen: https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/must-read-research-reveals-that-covid-19-attacks-hemoglobin-in-red-blood-cells,-rendering-it-incapable-of-transporting-oxygen--current-medical-protoco Slide 14: YouTube video of the doctor in NYC explaining the theory from Slide 13: https://youtu.be/k9GYTc53r2o Slide 15: Non-peer reviewed article referenced by the story in Slide 13: https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surface_Glycoprotein_Inhibit_Heme_Metabolism_by_Binding_to_Porphyrin/11938173 Slide 16: 'Silent hypoxia' may be killing COVID-19 patients.

  • Understanding Russia, Trump and Putin

    Understanding Russia, Trump and Putin
    Aug 6 2018
    Below are links to all of the resources that I talk about or reference in the podcast. Please use them to the extent that you want to better educate yourself on Russia and Presidents Putin and Trump. The book links are affiliate links and I can make a small percentage of their purchase price which will help me to keep on making podcasts. Video #1- History of Russia (5 Parts) Runrik To Revolution By: Epic TV. This seems to be an accurate portrayal of commonly accepted russian history as it appears in the history books. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Wmc8C0Eq0&feature=youtu.be How the nobility in europe and russia were all interrelated and became the rich 1% that owned everything and abused the common folk. How the royal famalies interbred until there was a royal bloodline in europe that controlled the whole continent and all its wealth. How the 30 percent of russian citizens/peasents were serfs right up until the late 1800's and went from virtual slavery right into Communism without getting any real taste of what a political structure based on personal freedom could do for them. the history of Russia with Ukraine over the last 100 years and how we forget that Ukraine was historically part of Russia but at the same time how Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to death and how that might make Ukraine want to be independent. At the same time how will the United States respond if Texas, or more recently California, ever makes good on their intermittent threats to secede and become countries in their own right? Will we just let them go or will we bring in the military and oust their leaders or something to that effect? America has not had to face the threat of secession since the Civil War. Video #2 - The Soviet Story - IMDB Link:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305871/ Youtube video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La81qM-vvU8&feature=youtu.be&bpctr=1533561498 Video #3 Inside Putin's Russia (PBS News Hour) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AkAZIk73F0&feature=youtu.be Nayirah testimony (Babies and incubators): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony Iraq WMD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationale_for_the_Iraq_War Crisis Actors: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/same-girl-crying-now-oregon/ Video #4 The Difficult Birth of Post-Soviet Russia: Economic Collapse, Depopulation (2003) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PSzoA70KS0&feature=youtu.be David Satter talks about the birth of Putin's Russia and a false flag string of apartmant building bombings that were usd as an excuse to start a war and seem to have been the Russian's own domestiv version of 911. Video #5 The Less You Know, the Better You Sleep: Russia's Road to Terror and Dictatorship under Yeltsin and - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBD3LzbGrYU&feature=youtu.be Another video, this time from 2016 featuring author and journalist David Satter. This is a much more up to date re-hash of some things from the preceding video as well as an analysis of more recent events up to and including Donald Trump. Points. David Satter books: https://amzn.to/2MohV0r Ivana Trump Bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivana_Trump Melania Trump Bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_Trump Video #6: David Satter, "The Less You Know, the Better You Sleep" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE7uXO8NEms Another David Satter video from 2016 in which he speaks for around an hour and covers more than he had time for in the immediately preceding video. This was done on his book tour promoting his 2016 book by the same name as this video https://amzn.to/2MohV0r Video #7: America, Russia, and Vladimir Putin: Russian Opposition Perspectives - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTVNhKhCbZ0&feature=youtu.be This video features interviews with the leaders of political parties which oppose Putin's Russia and journalists who do the same. Video #8: The dubious friends of Donald Trump: the Russians - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bEdMuKq30I&t=1s This is a video series from what is essentially the PBS of the Netherlands. I have not researched their credentials beyond Wikipedia but they seem to be worthy of watching at lest because they take what to me is a totally fresh perspective of the question of Trump and The Russians (the Oligarchs especially) and the connections he may have to them.
