Infidel Dog

I think most reasoning individuals can read a couple paragraphs of the kid's "book" and figure out why he doesn't want to talk specifics though. I'm starting to wonder if this is a scam of some sort. Does anybody remember The Big Hack? It was a file-sharing program these supposed computer super geniuses were creating that would make content providers obsolete. That was about a decade ago and there are still content providers so something went wrong. I remember there was this blind programmer who was always getting into arguments with the other hackers and threatening to quit. You needed a lot of popcorn. They put a lot of work into their hoax.

I get a kick out of nutty theories and scams so I actually read some of this book. If anybody's interested I can tell you now what he doesn't want to. I can tell you how this kid proposes to control the world. I say Kid because when you start to read from about page 60 the writing is like something you'd expect from a nerdy freshman. It's a lot of unsupported suppositions, assumptions and non-reasoned declarations that I'm sure seem terribly impressive to the kid writing it. It doesn't occur to him that there could be any kind of counter to his proposals. It's a college kid imagining what he sees as a political utopia. He's incapable of imagining how any flaw could exist or anybody might suspect there might be one. God help us when he gets a little experience and learns to deal with the counters though. If he could talk anybody into taking any of this nonsense seriously God help the world. Actually, I'll just start you off for now so this doesn't get too long. So it starts with him wanting to imagine how superior it would be if rather than voting in just anybody to public office, you have public officials graduating a political course the curriculum of which is not described but I'm going to assume some sort of behind the scenes, overlords will provide one. There seems to be some strange belief that political science and degrees in such don't already exist so new heroes must create this political course to fill the void. In sovereign kid's brave new world these political courses for new "public officials" are four years long. Not to worry if this four year re-education indoctrination doesn't deliver the perfect political official though. Apparently these BTS overlords are ready to sweep in from the unknown places they reside and replace the malfunctioning cog in the machine. That's good for now. If anybody's still curious I can give you more.

Founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger has been complaining about how biased his creation has been getting for a while now. I'll give you the link for the rest: https://districtherald.com/wikipedia-founder-says-the-project-has-abandoned-neutrality-policy-is-badly-biased/

Yeah, I did. You seem to have missed my second post. I'm all ears then. What is this "more specific" thing you believe people are afraid to talk about?

Oh, and @Argus. The only son of a politician we know for a fact took advantage of "financing from Eastern European Oligarch's" is Joe Biden's son, Hunter.

And it doesn't get things done. In both of the last 2 administrations there have been accusations of one house blocking the ability of the other and its executive branch to get things done. Personally I think that's more justified as a Republican complaint in this administration where things like the collusion delusion, the war on the wall, and the impeachment hoax have certainly diverted and I would say blocked the current administration from getting a lot of things done they would have liked to. And with a wink I offer another personal hypothesis about blocking. It was also a complaint of the last administration. But did anybody ever notice that the economic recovery that's sometimes claimed by Dem supporters didn't really happen until the Republicans took control of both houses? I know progressive types like to claim it was earlier but if you take their graphs apart you'll see it's up and down with more down than up until towards the end of Obama's second term when the recovery really began. Tricky graphs can use that rise upwards to smooth the rest and make it look like a a longer term steady rise. But that's not what actually happened. So my hypothesis says that rise of recovery really started happening towards the end of the Obama regime when the Republican House and Senate were able to block a lot of fiscally restricting policies.

Now as to "neglect," that would be your word not his. I imagine it would be possible to disapprove of both of say church bells and the call to prayer. It would however be possible to see banning church bells while allowing the call to prayer as being unfair. If that ever happens, I mean.

I think I can help. He's saying allowing the call to prayer is Politicians favoring one group of people over "the rest." So the one group of people would be the Muslims. And "the rest" would be what you might call "Kafir" or unbeliever or infidel. No need to thank me. I'm happy to help.

Reposts. Not used to the software, yet. How to you delete the stupid quotes, anyway?

Oops.

And that is true. In fact if one checks out the stats at the link below one sees that the only stats America are # 1 in can be explained by the fact they have the highest population. (With the possible exclusion of China of course, but China lies so their stats don't matter.) India's is pretty far south. They'd still be in spring, I think. Russia's so spread out they'll take a while. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/ Although, there may be another exception. Even if you consider population now America may have done the most tests. Notice I said "now." Nobody needs to find me a per capita stat from April.

Glad you asked. I get to play 'just imagine.' This is just me and the sort of thing I'd do though, but hopefully the guys in the know could do it better. But first off consider all the money that wouldn't be spent or lost. Would we have that now to deal with the most vulnerable? Because if we do we could turn long term care facilities into freaking hospital fortresses. No virus should get in or out and if one miracuously does there are facilities on site to deal and if it gets worse there can be special hospital wings to deal without inconveniencing other hospital patients. Drop-in visits for elderly outside of long term care. High quality masks, gloves, safe transportation and advice. People over 65 who still work? Hmmm... Not sure. There'd still be lots of money left maybe they could get some to take time off work or they could get some job protection to go back after the pandemic. There'd still be some working, I guess. Hopefully the Karens could socially shame them into self-isolation. Not sure about that little group. Not sure it matters.

But even if that were true (which it isn't, of course) By the time Turkey and the Russia/Iran/Syria coalition started fighting with each other over leftovers from what Trump and the YPG left after chasing ISIS out of Raqqa, Iraq and Syria were ISIS free. Trump's campaign promise was delivered. So I don't understand where you think you've made a point. Even if your claims were true. Which they aren't, of course. Good for a chuckle though. Thanks.

You should have looked it up if you didn't believe my suspicion. I know I just did. https://uproxx.com/life/coronavirus-travel-bans-quarantine-worldwide/ Now don't you feel silly?

Yeah, Spain France and and the UK aren't America either. But I guess if you're really interested we could go through their responses to the virus and see if they differed from America's. Why, though? Are you saying they didn't differ? Show me. I know fatality rates are worse in the countries you mentioned than America's. I imagine there's a reason. It would be interesting to decide now what worked and what didn't. Also what nations are most vulnerable to a future Coronavirus. What national policies could be changed to protect. Personally, I think, for American and Canada if we had just directed all attention to the elderly and other vulnerable groups then let the rest of the world run as it always does with only slight modifications we would have been farther ahead.

But yeah, I hear Belgium in particular has problems. Something to do with out of control immigration is what I heard. Italy had problems because of a large vulnerable elderly population and a politically managed idiocy where you saw things like a mayor hugging Chinese immigrants on the street to show he wasn't racist, and a China backed campaign where a chinese guy was offering free hugs on a busy street corner. Meanwhile Trump was ordering travel restrictions.

Daniel Horowitz is an American writing for Americans in America. Did I really need to explain that to you? I think an even better question you might want to ask yourself is how much of this would apply to Canada. Do we need to ask Canadians the question Horowitz asked of his American audience?

This one is from an American gun site but it links to New Zealand media: NZ Gun Crime Rates Soar Following Gun Bans https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2020/05/18/nz-gun-crime-rates-soar-gun-bans/

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52718309

Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi is trying to pass a bill that offers 1200 dollars per qualifying illegal immigrants, supports amnesty and makes it easier on infected illegals entering the country to take advantage of a superior health system. https://www.foxnews.com/media/tom-homan-nancy-pelosi-stimulus-checks-illegals All this while homelessness and non-existent social distancing in affected districts skyrockets in her native San Francisco. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/19/a-true-emergency-covid-19-pushes-homeless-crisis-in-san-franciscos-tenderloin-to-the-brink

Daniel Horowitz has one where he lists 6 facts he claims change everything we know about SARS-CoV-2. 1. About a quarter of the American coronavirus deaths weren't actually caused by corona. 2. States with longer lockdowns had worse results. 3. Outside nursing homes, the fatality rate never warranted such action, even if it would work. 4. Outside New York, this is barely worse than bad flu seasons 5. Excess deaths are from the lockdowns, not the virus. 6. Social distancing was invented by a high-school kid and politicians, not scientists. He offers support for these 6 claims at the link. https://www.conservativereview.com/news/horowitz-lied-6-facts-change-everything-know-sars-cov-2/

Also, I believe there was a mandatory quarantine for American residents coming back from China after the suspensions. Was there not?

Do have a link for that? There were notices and screenings starting in the beginning of January. Chinese travel restrictions and suspended entry began Jan. 31. Before that 14,000 people a day entered the United states from China. The suspensions did not include permanent residents or their families. There were other exemptions. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/ So it would be interesting to know exactly what you're talking about.

OK. Start here then. You can answer this one yes or no to both questions if you like. Do you have a plan that will create this one world global government you want, or are you just daydreaming about what a great job and your buddies could do running the world and hoping somebody cares?

Speaking of Joe Biden... This one came out today: https://globalnews.ca/news/6956403/joe-biden-keystone-xl-pipeline/ And there's another reason I'd vote Trump if I could.
