1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes.
0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests
You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
People *really* hate inflation!
Though it’s also notable that most countries seeing political reversals this year have also had record high immigration, and parties on the right have made big gains.
Economic upheaval + social upheaval = 2024 election results.
We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.
Some of those stories may even be true!
But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
There seems to be a concerted denial that harm from injections can occur months after the last injection.
Wilful blindness.
There is plenty of evidence that harm can indeed occur months later.🧵

THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE
– By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy

🔴Throughout October, there have been an average of 1,564 extra deaths per week, compared with a weekly average of just 315 in 2020 and 1,322 in 2021 https://t.co/s8BHymxmNA
One of the most important statistics about modern science:
"More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments."

A reminder that by March 2021 the UN estimated that lockdowns had killed 228,000 children in South Asia due to starvation and halted routine immunization. The idea that lockdown were the moral thing to do was a monstrous idea from its inception.

Pretty incredible how the entire western world could be marched into totalitarianism in under two years without so much as a peep from the mainstream media and commentators we used to listen to.
They're about to surpass the USA as the global military power, they have more naval ships offshore than all other countries combined, and they're doing globe laps with nuclear missiles. I'd say this is a cause for concern.

By corrupting global institutions, promoting hysterical data, publishing fraudulent science, and deploying propaganda on an unprecedented scale, Beijing transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” the greatest crime of the 21st century to date.
