Open Thread WE 3 MAY 23 ~ Paranormal Day


~
Also the 'great' American Grump-out Day
~

I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. It's using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.
-- David Blaine

Welcome. What have we here? The spell checker is trying to re-write my manuscript.
(Screaming at the sky) I won't have it dammit! You AI types have not a clue what needs
to be expressed. Nor how it is best expressed. So leave my words alone!

~

Paranormal is a anomalous and enigmatic phenomena of our world and the next.
Kinda sounds like the news. Except post-normal may be a better description.

~

So take your pick, yell at the clouds or believe in magic.
Thanks for joining in.

John Campbell has been censored for interviewing a sitting member of parliament. TPTB at google must be owned by big pharma.
Dr. Dhand explains...

In yesterday's OT I posted a clip on censoring RFK jr. ABC cut out his explanations when they interviewed him calling it misinformation.

Ignorance of the public is TPTB bliss.

Thanks for the OT.

I guess this would fall under the American grump-out category.
This censoring business has gone way too far. I can sort of understand
why the message masters are protecting their corrupt ways, but we
already know about that. That ship sailed years ago. Preventing good
and useful information from being discussed is a few notches worse.

Thanks for sharing and enjoy your farming tasks today.

@Lookout (PhD) has long been tiptoeing carefully around Covid info and the vaccines to avoid YT/gov't censorship. Minor miracle that he lasted this long on YT without major sanction as with the case of Jimmy Dore.

TPTB at the major social media platforms, our modern commons, have been quietly in cahoots with the gov't to censor speech that they find unhelpful. I hope some lawsuits recently initiated will bear fruit and bring an end to widespread violation of our constitutional rights.

@Lookout I watched a number of his videos during and after the high point of the pandemic. All he did was basically summarize and go over official numbers like number infected, vaccinated, etc. And he was attacked by some academic virologists as not knowing what he was talking about for some bizarre reason. He had become very popular and maybe academics were pissed that he got more popular attention than they did. You realize how even the sciences in academia are politicized.

@QMS @MrWebster @wokkamile
Just came by this morning and noticed the video I posted yesterday is now blocked.
They pulled down Suneel's video in support of John...unbelievable.

He has made the censored video available on locals

Thankfully there's Rumble. Where you can see John's interview with a sitting member of parliament that cause his banning.

Fairly tech heavy with terms like decoherence, Shor's algorithm, RSA, prime factorisation, cubits and
superposition. Way beyond my natural intelligence.

AI will design a working QC system. The two will get married and have a scalable nuclear fusion reactor as their first born child.

Per my recollection, three of a kine beats a paranormal, so cattle are still king, or something like that. Thanks for the music. Love the walrus mask.

The rain is back here. It not only makes me disinclined to go outside and do stuff, but it is starting to make me disinclined to do damn near anything.

Isn't it a giggle that "redacted" was censored? WE possibly have more censors that the row combined, when you include not only the official ones but also the unofficial ones, including, for example almost everybody on Daily Kos and a ton of similar sites who take it upon themselves to enforce this or that particular narrative. No doubt something genetic coming from the distant past with all the witch hunts and blue laws and know nothings and mccarthy and all that.

so, I guess, it's the main drag in desolation row

That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --

when u look at the wiki page for that entry, it reads like a Big Brother censorship board telling the reader in blunt terms what shall be regarded as "true" or "scientific" and what clearly is not. Heavily biased in favor of the know-it-all closed-minded folks at CSI/CSICOP, the iron-fisted information gate-keepers of Official Science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal#cite_note-65

Looks like I have committed a few heresies with my belief in reincarnation, Bigfoot, and a couple of modern-era ufo incidents. I must be prone to "hallucinations" or "delusional ideation". Must correct for this with a subscription to Skeptical Inquirer where I can save a lot of time having their people tell me what is true and what is false. Maybe I'll fit into society better and make more friends by conforming my thinking, who knows.

Russia's ex-president Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday called for the "physical elimination" of Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky after Moscow accused Kyiv of a drone attack on the Kremlin.

"After today's terrorist attack, there are no options left aside the physical elimination of Zelensky and his cabal," said Medvedev, who has been increasingly hawkish since Moscow's Ukraine offensive

@humphrey Scott Ritter had some trepidation that Ukraine would do something that would cross multiple red lines and cause Russia to go onto a war footing. He said in that case absolutely nothing held back and that Kiev would be totally leveled.

But it seems the Ukraine is out to do something/anything to get a direct NATO confrontation with Russia.

@humphrey @humphrey

is hiding in Finland now?
That is not out of the range of RFU missiles.
He may think he is safe while UKE burns, but
if he is smart, there may come the realization
nowhere is safe if he pulls another big piano
playing boner. Perhaps now is the time to pull
out the Biden corruption card?

Unless you consider it abnormal.
I visited with a client who has been to prison for drug charges. She is out, just doing great, only uses meth daily to keep her calm, and skips it on days she is attending church
Normal is just a thing...
Great art, Qms!

@QMS Hubby figured it out quickly that my livelihood depends on people being crooks, dumb asses, and he get it now that you need a lawyer on the worst day of your life, not the best day
Back in the 70s, when I took a course in art appreciation in college, I had a perfect score on every single test. I am really into it, my friend. One of my best experiences EVAH was a Picasso museum in Spain.
