A lot of people are wondering why they keep getting sick and I'm hoping this can connect some dots.

It's that time of year: lots of people will be sick, and many won't know what sickness it is. It's a good idea to get tested, but even if you don't know what it is, *please* stay home as much as possible, get plenty of rest to help yourself recover, and wear masks if you have to go out while sick!

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."

Exploring a colonist, racist, genocidal, corporate-sex-cult’s locus of control/gaslighting/manipulation… Religion is one thing but that church is way beyond religion. It’s disgusting and wrong.

Three years into Gaza's genocide, U.S. political rhetoric hasn't translated into action, writes Mohammed Abo Matar. As midterms approach as some pro-Palestine candidates rose to prominence, Israel never stopped its genocide. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 8 people last week.

Page 13 of the WHO plague guidance reveals extremely serious misleading claims that, considering the state of the science in 2024 regarding modes of transmission, can reasonably be assessed as disinformation. I see no good-faith rationale for substituting "droplet inhalation" for "aerosol".

A screenshot of p13 of the WHO plague guidance, which describes pneumonic plague transmission as "droplet transmission via the respiratory route", "respiratory droplets", and "Inhalation - droplets".

Text reads:
When primary bubonic plague progresses to secondary pneumonic plague, droplet
transmission of the infective agent may take place via the respiratory route, resulting in
primary pneumonic plague among close contacts. All persons with primary or secondary
pneumonic plague can spread the disease via respiratory droplets, causing primary
pneumonic plague in others.
Other modes of transmission include:
• direct, unprotected handling of infected animal tissues, for example, from a plagueinfected
rodent (live or dead) or other animal while skinning it or cutting meat;
• inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets from animals, most commonly
domestic cats;
• consumption of infective materials (e.g. infected meat that has not been cooked
sufficiently to kill the Y. pestis bacteria).

Institutional medical culture is evil. This is from page 2 of the WHO plague handbook quoted above. They know. They've implemented known disinformation into international guidance, putting millions of lives at risk to protect a few corrupt WHO insiders. So they disclaim responsibility.

All reasonable precautions have been taken by WHO to verify the information contained in this publi-
cation. However, the published material is being distributed without warranty of any kind, either ex-
pressed or implied. The responsibility for the interpretation and use of the material lies with the reader.

The world needs to understand that the Russian government and global infection control operate the same way. Clueless dictators at the top, a culture of manipulating information to advance, all on a foundation of sacrificial minions thrown into the meat grinder to cover up failure after failure.

They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.

The reputable publications say we should not panic about the (possible) plague case(s) in Russia, and they may be right, and let us hope they are right, but it would be easier to trust their coverage of this if they didn’t keep insisting that Covid is in the past.

“Conventionally, playfulness and seriousness are seen as opposites. But I’ve always felt that the most serious artistic endeavors involve play. Broadly speaking, play is about being willing to try new things, accepting unpredictability, and embracing an experimental spirit.”

Can we add Covid to that list? I thought folks would respond, would care about each other a bit. But most folks viewed it as an inconvenience and assisted the government to totally botch it.
