@brownstoneinst I think I need to repost this here....

[The National Desk @TND]

More than 1,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private COVID-era diaries are now under the microscope.

@brownstoneinst president @jeffreytucker told The National News Desk's Jan Jeffcoat that he spent days combing through the records—and what he found about Fauci’s views on vaccines, lockdowns and his public image surprised even him.

@robertewright Unless one's research consists of plagiarizing others' research :p

The Vice-Chancellor of my Alma mater, @Cambridge_Uni, says that the Arday "case is an aberration". How does she know? And doesn't the claim indicate a lack of willingness to do the work to find out?

To my friends, and especially my fellow Cantabrigians: how does @Cambridge_Uni come back from this? And can it do so without firing the head of the panel that hired Arday and/or the departmental head (?) who called him the "best in the world" in his field of research?

You ended the quote too soon.

"In the negative part of Professor Hayek’s thesis there is a great deal of truth. It cannot be said too often – at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough – that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamed of."
- George Orwell

Privacy is the envelope of the soul.

We seal our letters not because we’re plotting revolutions in cursive, but because what’s inside belongs to us—sender and receiver, no third-party stamps from the State or Silicon Valley snoops.

The “nothing to hide” crowd loves that line until it’s their DMs, browser history, or bedroom preferences on display.

Funny how the powerful never volunteer their own secrets while demanding yours.

Privacy isn’t a luxury for the guilty; it’s the moat around your life, the boundary that keeps power from turning you into livestock.

Without it, you’re not free—you’re just data in someone else’s dashboard.

Guard it fiercely. The envelope matters.

Because not enough paper know how our monetary system really works ...

[David McNab @[email protected] @DavidMcNab17]

1/4
On any given day, when Parliament authorises a payment from the Consolidated Fund, the Bank of England creates new money to credit the government’s account. The money exists because the state says it exists. It is not borrowed from anyone. It is not extracted from taxpayers.

You may ask yourself, why even start off on a path of self-definition. What is to be gained by embarking on such a journey? The answer is ridiculously simple. There is nothing else to do.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Yann LeCun sat across from Lex Fridman and quietly proved that intelligence has nothing to do with thinking.

He did it with two sentences about a trophy.

“The trophy doesn’t fit in the suitcase because it’s too big.”

“The trophy doesn’t fit in the suitcase because it’s too small.”

Same words. One swap at the end.

In the first, “it” is the trophy.

In the second, “it” is the suitcase.

You solved both before you finished reading.

Nobody taught you that. There is no rule for it. No logic chain. No formula.

You knew because you’ve held things. Packed things. Felt the resistance of something too large for the space it was meant to fill.

LeCun calls this grounding.

“A big object doesn’t fit in a small object.”

The machine has read that line a billion times.

It has never once picked anything up.

It knows the word “big.” It has never been small enough to be lifted, or large enough to be the problem.

So when the sentence turns, it has nothing to turn on.

You didn’t solve that riddle by thinking.

You solved it by having lived.

Every object your hands ever closed around. Every door you misjudged. Every suitcase you overpacked and forced shut.

Decades of physics written into your nervous system so deep you can’t even find it.

That is what answered the question. Not your mind. Your life.

LeCun: “You have this knowledge of how the world works, of geometry, and things like that.”

Now point that at yourself.

Most of what you understand, you could never explain.

You cannot describe how you catch a ball. How you judge the weight of a bag before you lift it. How you know a staircase is wrong before your foot confirms it.

Your deepest intelligence has no language in it at all.

We spent centuries convinced that thinking was the highest act of the mind.

LeCun is pointing at something underneath it.

Something older. Something the body learned long before the mouth could speak.

Intelligence was never computation.

It was accumulation.

The slow, silent record of a life spent touching the world.

The machine holds every word ever written about it.

It has never once been in it.

We keep asking whether it thinks.

It cannot even tell us which “it” we mean.

@robertewright @ImtiazMadmood @Bretigne We have refunds just like that for train delays in Uk. Quarter of your ticket price for 15 to 30 mins, half for 30 to 60, and full for more than an hour. Or something close to that.

Fauci's right-hand man was just indicted for conspiracy and destruction of federal records. And now we learn Biden officials silenced their own FDA scientist who was finding serious vaccine safety issues, like heart attacks, strokes, and sudden cardiac death. This cover-up goes all the way to the top.

🚨 Sonia Elijah: Government agencies REFUSED to release Covid data that exposed the truth.

“I submitted a Freedom of Information request to [the] Department of Science and Innovation and Technology in the U.K.”

“I asked them for all the meetings, all the notes, emails, communications with NATO in reference to disinformation policy around the Covid shots.”

“And they admitted that, yes, they do have all of that information.”

“But they're not going to give it.”

“[They said] it would threaten national security or would be used to further misinformation [and] be misinterpreted.”

“That reminded me exactly the same excuse… given by the UK HSA.”

“Key scientists took them to court to try and get them to release the data linking excess deaths to the Covid vaccines.”

“They refused to give the data.”

“This is anonymized data, so [there’d be] no one's names.”

“They refused to give it.”

“[They said] it would, again, fuel misinformation and relatives of the deceased would get very angry.”

“That was their excuse.”

Most lives divide into two parts. First, one lives without any concern about one's mortality. In the second, one is aware of one's mortality everyday. A significant event (close shave with death, loss of a parent etc) separates them. The two parts are almost different lives.

Now, if we could just see the kind of Statesmanship and political skill from a Brit in Britain 🇬🇧 that we just saw from the "top Brit" 👑 in the USA 🇺🇸 ...

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

It was the fall of 2021 when I first started hearing of Covid shot injury. I did not want to believe it. I wondered if all these reports were just biased exaggerations. Not a fan of the shots, I mostly thought they were useless but never imagined that they were actually dangerous too.

So I was in denial for about six months until I was hit with a flurry of data and stark judgements from people I trust. I would certainly out of my element in judging that data but so many people were sounding alarms.

Now the truth is incontrovertible and I embarked on a bit of research into the larger story of why shot injury has always been a taboo subject. The industry has constructed it to be this way. My incredulity is exactly what the industry has counted on to be the general attitude.

Surely this would not have been approved if it actually hurt people, right? This strong bias against looking at vaccine injury squarely and telling the truth has been a persistent feature of industry propaganda for as far back as we look. Indeed, the bias is a built in feature of the entire commercial enterprise. To keep all this under wraps has required the creation of a massive funding network that has compromised government, academia, professional societies, retail distributors, media, and whole professions. It's absolutely amazing.

My initial unwillingness to believe there were profound problems turns out to be a programmed response, a result of cultural planning. It remains so to this day.
