Is it a Plandemic? I keep thinking about the various pandemic exercises like Event 201 -

... run by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Friday, October 18, 2019.
For those that forget, this means this TEST-RUN was done 1 month before the 1st case of the virus was reported to the world in Wuhan. 1 month.
It simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.

Most of us are aware of that simulation, but what about Rockerfeller's 2010 lockdown scenario? That bombshell report below the fold...

The Climate Cop Out

Open Thread Image.jpg

COP26 has been engineered from the start to be an ineffective theatrical production of hollow promises and empty resolutions. First off if climate was the issue why isn't the meeting digital and inclusive? The global South has largely been prevented from attending because of vaccination requirements. No, COP26 is more like the Davos gathering with private jets, motorcades, and the elite telling the people what they must do. Why won't they even try? Because they can't allow capitalism to be impacted, and to prevent massive extinction requires a new economic system that values natural systems and various lifeforms. The purpose of the COP is really to protect capitalist profits of the elite and their corporations.

A New Indictment in the Attempted 2016 Election Overthrow

The New York Post published a story about a new indictment that was filed this week by Special counsel John Durham. Durham is investigating the FISA warrants that the FBI obtained for their wiretaps of Donald Trump, while Trump was a candidate for president in 2016. Russian-born Igor Danchenko, was indicted as the principal source for the bogus Steele dossier. He fed fake Russian intel about Donald Trump to Christopher Steele while he was working at an influential DC think tank. The FBI used the Steele dossier as a basis for their Trump-Russia investigation. The FBI tried for months but were never able to verify anything in the Steele dossier. Nevertheless, they knowingly used the dossier to trick the FISA court into issuing spy warrants, long after the fact.

While searching my bookmarks for a well hidden article found this thought provoking BBC article instead.

Psychologists are uncovering the surprising influence of geography on our reasoning, behaviour, and sense of self.

From the broad differences between East and West, to subtle variation between US states, it is becoming increasingly clear that history, geography and culture can change how we all think in subtle and surprising ways – right down to our visual perception. Our thinking may have even been shaped by the kinds of crops our ancestors used to farm, and a single river may mark the boundaries between two different cognitive styles.

Wherever we live, a greater awareness of these forces can help us all understand our own minds a little better.

‘Weird’ minds

Until recently, scientists had largely ignored the global diversity of thinking. In 2010, an influential article in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences reported that the vast majority of psychological subjects had been “western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic”, or ‘Weird’ for short. Nearly 70% were American, and most were undergraduate students hoping to gain pocket money or course credits by giving up their time to take part in these experiments.
