Common Sense, Omissions, and Lies

Who remembers 2020?  After all the Covid lies and shaming, do you really want to believe the news.  Who remembers when the news media said if you don't wear a mask or get the Covid vaccine, you're hurting grandma or grandpa and how dare you not care about others?  I tried to spread the word that based on studies, observations, and common sense masks didn't work to stop airborne viruses.  If they worked, Covid cases wouldn't have been spiking wherever masks were mandated.  If masks worked, there would have been no need for a vaccine - that should have been common sense.  If they worked to stop viruses, they would have been mandated long ago and all airborne viruses would be history by now.  Health agencies and the media lied.  Then they repeated the same lies with the vaccine.  If vaccines worked, no need to make them mandatory, or even promote them.  Just make them available and anyone who wants protection can get one, be protected, and should care less if you do or don't.  They lied about it's effectiveness (or lack of), they lied about it stopping transmission, they lied about its side effects, up to and including death.  But they didn't stop there - they made up the distancing rule, as if after 5' the virus would do what?  Fall to the earth, disintegrate?  They said the least safe place was the place you needed to stay - locked down indoors.  They closed a lot of the safest places (outdoors, beaches, parks).  

All the while, the media lied, as well as government health agencies.  I would think, and hope, that after all the lies people would no longer believe the media about anything.  I would think common sense would have made a come-back.  Why do they lie?  This explains some of the reasons related drugs and vaccines:  The drug/vaccine lies.  If they are willing to lie and/or mislead about that, why would anyone believe anything they say?  If someone you know lies to you consistently, are you going to trust that person?

Because this is in the news now (the SAVE act), what does common sense tell you about voter ID?  It's telling about 84% of people in the latest poll that it's a good idea.  Unfortunately, a lot of Senators and Representatives don't listen to the people who elected them and don't seem to have any common sense.  If they can't follow what the people want, they should be voted out.  It's supposed to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.  

I listen to the news for two reasons:  1.  To see if there is anything happening near me that might affect me; 2.  To see what they are lying about next.  And last night, of course they lied and misled regarding the measles vaccine.  They said it was safe, but more children get injured from the MMR vaccine than from the measles.  They said it was 97% effective, but they had said the Covid vaccine was 95% effective, when in reality it was 1% effective for a short time, then increased you chances of getting Covid by 23%.  Getting measles is 100% effective in preventing it and you don't need booster shots.  Plus studies have shown it "trains" your immune system and you're less likely to get cancer later in life.  Don't believe the media and their fear tactics.  Don't believe me, either.  Do your research.  That's what I did.

Where should you start?  Most search engines are biased toward big pharma, so you have to ask the right questions.  The most honest AI search I have found is alter.systems (that is what you would enter in the address bar, no .com or .net).  Also, if you scroll down on the following previous post, you'll find my list of the best and most honest doctors, scientists, and organizations.  I follow many of them on X.

RFJ Jr. Isn't a Doctor...Neither am I.

 Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of HHS, isn't a doctor.  I, also, am not a doctor.  So, do we know more than a doctor?  Why should you listen to either of us?  There are lots of things he and I can't do but we can certainly report on what others say.  By others, I'm talking about the leading experts in their field.

Before I get into that, I need to point out the lies that many doctors told during Covid...and before and since, by doctors and scientists.  Why did they do that?  Bonuses, incentives, money, and/or lack of knowledge.  Perhaps they believed what big pharma told them.  Or what little they learned about vaccines in medical school.  Most have conflicts of interest.  Thankfully, there are those with a conscience who practiced the oath they took, to do no harm.  So, perhaps the question shouldn't be whether we know more than a doctor, but whether we report the truth more.  How can you verify that?  By also going to the best of the best experts, the most respected, most published (in peer reviewed journals), and those without conflicts of interest, some who were willing to lose their medical licenses and careers by telling the truth.  Here is a list of who I trust, including doctors who live by their oath (to first, do no harm):

COMMON SENSE & CRITICAL THINKING

 I can picture one of those milk cartons that had, "Missing" on it, but instead of a person, it would be followed by this blog's headline.  Common sense and critical thinking should be enough to guide people's actions and also to help people determine which studies are most likely correct.  You may need some factual data to apply the common sense to (that should be common sense).  Common sense is also derived from observation.  Studies can be and are faked or in some cases, completely made up.  It would be hard to fake an observation in real life.  Had everyone used common sense with Covid, it would have been just another virus, no different than the flu.

COMMON SENSE & MANDATES - If vaccines & masks worked, why would there be mandates for them?  After all, those who want to be protected have to merely get the vaccine &/or wear the mask.  It would matter if anyone else did, it would only be the non-believers who are in danger.  (NOTE:  this is something you would probably miss even using common sense, but is so important, I decided it should be added here - Relative Risk vs Absolute Risk.)

MASKS - If masks worked for viruses, why had they never been used successfully for viruses before?  When they were mandated, why didn't the pandemic end a short time later?  If they worked, and were mandated long ago, virtually all viruses would have been wiped out, no vaccines needed - why weren't they mandated long ago?  Covid was causing oxygen problems so why would anyone wear a face coving that lowers their oxygen levels?  What are mask wearers inhaling into their mouth and lungs after wearing a face mask for many hours, besides fibers from the mask (hint:  what grows in high moisture areas?  Bacteria and molds).  Plus people would be re-inhaling what their body is trying to detox from.  The verdict:  common sense would have told you masks don't stop viruses and are more likely harmful.  The vast majority of studies backed this up.

Something else to think about:  if masks actually sopped viruses, would the government ever mandate them?  Or would they be made illegal due to the loss of revenue to doctors and big pharma if everyone was healthy?

SOCIAL DISTANCING (6 feet):  Common sense should have told people this was a made-up.  I'm sure viruses don't self destruct when they get 6 feet from people.  Recently news came out that the 6 foot thing was, in fact, made-up.  No science, no studies.

THE VACCINES:  This one would have been a little more difficult for most people because people were not informed about the many side effects.  Nor were they informed that the vaccine neither stopped infection nor transmission.  In fact, it has increased the likelihood of getting Covid multiple times.  Today, if you read the facts, common sense would tell you that your odds of survival are better without the vax.  Luckily, I had a bit of a head start - over 40 years ago while in basic training in the Air Force, I received the flu vax and got sick for three days and developed little red dots on my fingertips.  I now know that was thrombocytopenia.  After that, decided I would never get another vax.  About 14 years ago a friend said those who don't get a vax are callously stupid.  So I started studying vaccines and by the time Covid came along I had probably well over 1000 hours of studying them from the best and some pf the most published doctors, scientists, vaccinologists, immunologists, etc.  I've listed many of them in prior posts.  I found other groups of researchers who found what I had found.  Common sense told me I had made the right decision all those years ago.  The research also told me who the liars were...and are.

COMMON SENSE & LIES:  It should be common sense that if a person, organization, or government lies to  you repeatedly that you would no longer believe what they say.  And yet, instead of believing facts, people are still believing the evening news...or the CDC, FDA, etc.  Why do you think they tell you not to do your own research?  Maybe because you would learn the truth?  Very happy I did my research!!!  😊

To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question

 A few things have happened since my last blog post.  The elections are over, and the 118th Congress: Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Committee came out with its report.   Glad the political ads are over.  Also, my photo software was updated with a major update.  I've shot a few new photos recently which I'll be posting here and then I have some comments to make as always.  I hope you enjoy this as it may be my last blog post in a long time due to lack of interest.

December 8th was the annual Muscle Beach Toy Drive at Venice Beach.  Below are some photos from the event, plus some other new and old photos.

Santa and his Elves

Naughty or Nice?  Definitely Nice!

COMMENTS

Breaking news:  118th Congress: Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Committee - 520 pages in length.  It agrees with the main points I've been making on this blog for the past 4 1/2 years.  Some of these points are as follows:

1.  Masks don't work to stop or prevent the spread.

2.  Social distancing was made up and had no basis in fact or science.

3.  Lockdowns caused more harm than good (as predicted by The Great Barrington Declaration which I have previously shared on this blog).

4.  Testing for Covid was inaccurate.

5.  The "vaccine" didn't fit the definition of a vaccine.

6.  The conspiracy theorists were right, the CDC, FDA, NIH, NIAID were the ones spreading misinformation.

7.  This is where I (and top experts in medicine and science) disagree with the report - the vaccines were neither safe nor effective.  Have you ever heard of so many 30-50 year old healthy people dying suddenly since the vaccine came out?  I never did.  Even live, on-air.  

In a previous post, I posted a list of the doctors/scientists I follow.  You can check them out Here.

As always, please watch The Highwire.  And if you have forgotten the lies the media told about Covid and other vaccines, here is just one of the many lies:  Covid Death Rate, as claimed in the media.  I'm wondering how the media and others know more about the vaccine/autism connection than the godfather of vaccines, Dr. Stanley Plotkin.  He wrote the textbook on vaccines and is the world's leading expert.  In a deposition, under oath, he said there were no studies that said vaccines do or do not cause autism.  

RFK, Jr. is not a doctor, nor am I.  You don't have to be a doctor to read studies and do research from the leading doctors and scientists.  He and I have done that.  Most doctors got everything wrong about Covid, and vaccines, too.  If you care about your children then I strongly suggest you read this about vaccines & autism.  Remember once you get vaccinated, you can't get unvaccinated.  Congresswoman Nancy Mace unfortunately learned this the hard way.

Venice Beach in the 1980s

 From around 1980 until 2007 I used to roller skate at Venice Beach on Ocean Front Walk and I always carried my camera.  In 2007 I started playing paddle tennis and stopped skating.  But I'm still shooting photos at Venice Beach..  I hope you enjoy the photos from the 1980s and beyond...some from the past week.  This will be my last post for...well, I'm  not sure.  Maybe for the year.

Joey the clown.  He was a wonderful person and a great clown.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.  A good lesson for these days...well, for every day!

COMMENTS

1.  The mainstream media - DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING THEY SAY!  They lie, give one sided news, and lie by omission.  Between them and the CDC, FDA, NIH, etc., the U.S. spends the most for the worst health of all developed countries (and worse than many not so developed countries) - that SHOULD tell you all you need to know.

2. If you get this far, Happy Halloween.  Unfortunately, the election may be scarier than Halloween...at least for half the country.

More Photographs & More Comments

As I may have mentioned in the past, I've been shooting photos since I was 7 years old.  Back then, after shooting a roll of film, you had to wait several days to see what you shot.  Then 1hr photo places opened.  And I learned how to develop my own black and white photos.  Even though I can look at the back of my camera to see immediately what I shot, I never do.  The photos below were shot with film cameras, scanned, and fixed - because they were old, they had too many dust spots to remove all of those.  Hope you enjoy the photos.  The B&W photos are all from the 1980s.  Not sure when I shot the color photo.  I think half the people on Ocean Front Walk in the 1980s were on skates.  I was, too.

COMMENTS

Almost everything on the news and about C0V!D has been lies, and who knows what the truth is with politics.  I finally stopped watching it almost all of it, except the weather.  My advice is to find people you can trust who you have found that tell the truth.  That has worked well for me!  Follow them, especially concerning medical decisions, diet, and politics.  

With the elections coming up (or already here) the candidates who I believe will do the most good for the most people will be the ones that I vote for.  I may not like the candidate or everything they are for but based on what they've said and done in the past and their policies for the future will determine who I vote for.  

On another note, I was happy the LA Dodgers won their division series after the Yankees clinched theirs - I wanted to see a Dodger/Yankee World Series.  I miss those from when I was growing up.  Forty-three years has been a long time to wait for another one!  But it is here at last.

More Old & New Photos...and Comments, of course.

 Most of my photos have a story attached to them.  Hope you enjoy these and this week more than others, I hope you will at least check out the first comment.

This photo was shot somewhere in California.  I was in the mood to explore a place I had never been so just started driving toward the mountains.  I ended up at an altitude of 9200 feet.  I have no idea where I was, LOL.  The next day I went to some caverns on the way to Sequoia.

I'm still wondering what happened between Chaplin & Hoffa one night, LOL.

The girl above was in a movie being filmed and was nice enough to let me shoot some photos of her.

Another movie filming in Santa Monica in from of the Sea Castle in the 1980's.  

I think this is of the caverns on the way to Sequoia mentioned above.

Probably from the early 1980's - a local Venice Beach girl.

COMMENTS

Just watched this week's The Highwire with an interview with Naomi Wolf about her new book (The Pfizer Papers - you can check it out HERE and watch her interview).  It's about Pfizer's research documents on the C0v!d V, 450,000-pages of their own studies by a team of 3,000 doctors.  Those documents were obtained from the FDA, which means they knew everything Pfizer knew!  And yet, knowing what they know, they are still promoting it for all.

I have a feeling this would never have stayed up on the site referenced.  This all ties together with the mis, dis, mal, or whatever else they want to claim about information when they are the ones guilty of doing what they say others are doing.  Which is why Free Speech is extremely important.  There are those who want to end it so that you can't refute their lies.  Please watch The Highwire, Episode 392.  And for the collaboration between the CDC and ____________, Click this link.   Without free speech. none of this info would be available.  You would never know the truth.  All the lies they told related to c0v!d?  How dangerous would that be?  How dangerous has it been?

About 10 years ago I started researching vaxxes.  I was lucky - there was still truthful information available and easy to find.  That, in addition to my education in nutrition and supplements, and I did exactly the right stuff.  And had no worries about c0v!d.

NOTE:  The Highwire and ICAN are two of the most honest and trusted sources of information.  In the extremely rare instance when they have made a mistake, they have corrected it.  They list all of their sources and where they have gotten their information.  All their facts are verifiable.
