Government Graft and Giant Grifts
Ask yourself why both parties voted against appointing an auditor to track Ukraine weapons and monies. Greed is the operative descriptor. The US government doesn't care about its citizens. Consider the hundreds of billions going to Ukraine and the total lack of support for the people of Maui. No, we have a government by and for the multinational corporations, oligarchs, and globalists. Is there a way out of this conundrum? I don't see it. I hope you can offer some possible solutions in the comments below.

CDC Says Vaccinated MORE LIKELY To Catch New Covid Variant! (8 min)
"BA.2.86 may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines." This is a direct quote from the CDC website, which was recently pointed out by retired nurse instructor and popular British YouTuber Dr. John Campbell. So, for those in the back, this means that, according to the CDC, being vaccinated may make you MORE likely to contract the new COVID variant. Is that how it's supposed to work?
Jimmy and Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with special guest comedian Chrissie Mayr, discuss this surprising admission from the CDC and why COVID apologists are already backpedaling and saying the CDC didn't really mean it.
Should I Wear a Mask? What do 15 randomized studies say? (12 min)
Masking for COVID? Should I wear a mask? Cochrane reviews are considered one of the best in evidence-based medicine. The medical community considers them the gold standard in medicine due to their methodology, thoroughness, and transparency. This past week they have updated their evidence on masking for influenza and COVID. It is based on randomized controlled studies not flawed, biased observational studies.
Bottom line, wear mask if it makes you feel better, but in reality it won't help. However, washing hands was an effective deterrent reducing infection by 11%.

Maui Residents Screaming About A “Land Grab” (10 min)
Theories about what happened to cause the Maui wildfires have been circulating since before the fires themselves subsided. Many on the island are now coming to the same conclusion about the aftermath of the fires, however – specifically that vulture predators are taking advantage of the fires to swoop in and grab up as much of the devalued land as possible.

Gofundme freezes Grayzone fundraiser ‘due to some external concerns’
Independent journalist and Twitter Files contributor Michael Shellenberger reports that nongovernmental agencies (NGOs) leading the recent advertiser boycott of X/Twitter have a history of receiving money from and spying for governments. The groups include the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD). There is concern surrounding the ADL’s advertiser boycott that it is an effort by governments to regain the ability to censor users on X/Twitter that was lost when Elon Musk took over last November. The previously mentioned groups lack good evidence to prove that online hate speech directly correlates to “hate-motivated violence,” or that censorship prevents it. The ADL, in its goal to stop “the defamation of the Jewish people,” has justified unrelated censorial advocacy work using the legacy of antisemitism and the Holocaust. Their attempt to speak for all Jewish people may be inadvertently fueling antisemitism.
Musk has a target on his back. The suppression of ads on X has caused profits to drop by 60%.

Good morning
Was a bit stymied by the two terms, so found this..
Graft: noun - : the acquisition of gain (such as money) in dishonest or questionable ways
also : illegal or unfair gain
Grift: verb - : to obtain (money or property) illicitly (as in a confidence game)
It seems they are very similar in meaning. Referring to both crooked politicians and shady
business types? Anyway, it is mostly a sport in our exceptional nation.
Thanks for the watch!
Thanks for the verbal clarity...
Basically I was going for the alliteration. This piece was difficult to stop as the graft is essentially endless. I had intended to touch on the CIA as the mafia wing of the giant grift, but did want to get it too long.

I like RFK Jr,
but for the life of me I can't figure out why, knowing the democratic party is doing everything it can to fuck him, he still insists on running as a Democrat. If he's truly serious about being President, he needs to dump the Dems and run as an independent.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Me either.
Suppose polls consistently showed RFK Jr. leading Biden, what would the Democrats do? Some polls already show Trump ahead of Biden. The Democrat response is to criminalize Trump. Will they try that against RFK Jr.? Or, worse? Why was he denied Secret Service protection?

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Some of the
rules the DNC is considering for this cycle's primaries -- some sound bad-enough plausible rigging for this DNC, some seem like a gross overreach towards blatant rigging that even convicted election thieves would blush at -- won't be finalized until Sept 14, in 4 days.
RFK in this clip says he will wait until things are finalized before "considering other options", i.e. presumably launch a 3d party bid. (Unlike Cornel, Kennedy is in the race to win, not make a point or "be a moment in a movement".)
And why wouldn't he if the DNC is going to make it virtually impossible to challenge the anointed one.
Excellent point...
I hope he will reject the crooked DNC and run as an independent. We'll see what we see.
Thanks for dropping by and adding the clip!
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
The point he
emphasized in a couple of interviews is that his donors expect him to be a serious candidate, not a show horse, so he would have difficulty taking their money if the party has rigged it so that he can't possibly win.
Agree. It will be interesting to see if the DNC goes all-out cheating or something less. RFK said he doesn't expect 100% fairness or perfection, but rather a basically honest system. To deny him delegates because he has committed the sin of campaigning in IA and NH would be grossly unfair, as would the latest idea that he be given no delegates in GA if he campaigns in either of the traditional first 2 states.
Wait until Thursday.
It's quite clear --
-- that the DNC will do what it pleases, as it is (to quote the lawyer discussed by Sabrina Salvati) a "private association." It can do what it wants. It can run all sorts of primaries and caucuses in all sorts of places and then tell the voters "none of your electioneering means anything because we have decided." In Kennedy's situation, what its recent move means is that the DNC has declared that it will make up rules until his candidacy becomes of no consequence.
Kennedy's donors are doubtless wondering WTF he's doing dealing with the DNC. Either he needs to cut the cord ASAP and run as an independent, or endorse Biden or West or someone else and go back into the shadows. There is no third option.
“When there's no fight over programme, the election becomes a casting exercise. Trump's win is the unstoppable consequence of this situation.” - Jean-Luc Melanchon
Patience.
He at least deserves a few more days to get the DNC's final word on Thursday before making a major decision.
But if he is compelled to go 3d party, the DNC will be looking at a much greater risk to Biden's reelection prospects than if he'd been allowed to compete fairly against Joe.
And no, he won't be endorsing Biden. He's already clearly on record saying he won't be endorsing anyone calling for more war in Ukraine, which is a central part of Biden's record so far., and def no endorsement of Joe after the way he's been treated by the Biden admin and DNC. Nor West or Marianne Williamson for that matter. He doesn't strike me as the sort of Kennedy who throws in the towel when things get tough.
The DNC issued its final word some time ago.
Their nominee is Joe Biden. What could Jaime Harrison possibly say past the final word that would be of any importance?
I don't know. I'm not a Democrat, and so it doesn't take me a lot of time or soul-searching to conclude that the Democratic Party is run by criminals.

Russia has some of the dirt on the Ukrainian ones, and perhaps someday all that will come out.
Nuland admitted to Cruz that there were indeed Biolabs in Ukraine.
Russia also presented evidence in the UN.
Russia presents "bioweapons labs documents" at UN Security Council, US denies
Russia renewed allegations that the U.S. is funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine at the United Nations Security Council on Friday, claiming it has evidence of such facilities.
Further, Russia accused the U.S. of running a biological weapons program about which it was keeping Ukraine in the dark.
It also claimed on Friday that Ukrainian nationalists had used chemical agents to “carry out a provocation” in some regions of the country, in order to accuse Russia of carrying out the attacks.
The U.S. ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the U.S. would not “dignify Russia’s disinformation or conspiracy theories” and said Moscow has “repeatedly lied” to the Security Council in recent weeks.
“We’re not buying what they’re selling, literally or figuratively,” she said, adding that Ukraine does not have biological weapons laboratories: “not near Russia’s border, not anywhere.”

What do you think about the efficacy of masks? You've done lots of research.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
I think the Cochran study has clearly shown
that masks do not work. The chances of getting infected if you wear one is the same as if you don’t. The link to the study might be in my Fauci comment on how CNN showed that he’s just a clown making things up.
If you can slip a hair anywhere on your face between the mask and your skin then that’s where the virus can get in. Also if you are wearing a tight fitting mask and your glasses steam up that’s not a good sign.
Another study has shown masks to be very toxic and the toxins can get deep into your lungs causing many problems including cancer. I just read that a few days ago and I will try to find it and post it.
Here is one article on toxic masks.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
Exactly...
...and I have a beard, so I'm screwed even if masks do work.
As I've said many times, if you feel safer masking, wear one, but don't expect everyone else to do so.

Good morning Lookout
Thank you for what appears to be a very juicy WW. I will dip into it later in the day. We are fixing a feast for Breakfast/Lunch today so I have to dash off and do my bit.
I did skim your post though and noticed your section on masking. I do respectfully disagree with your position completely so let me just make a few quick statements. You say that the Cochrane study is a good one; well it has been discredited. Here is a link from February of a post by Lambert Strether from Naked Capitalism that analyses the study. I find it well argued and convincing. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/02/new-buzzy-cochrane-study-sets-th...
Among some of the points he makes:
1. Conly’s Cochrane Study Fails as Scientific Communication
2. Conly’s Cochrane Study Fails as Science
3. Conly’s Cochrane Study Fails as Epidemiology
4. Conly’s Cochrane Study is of Dubious Provenance.
Thanks again for the OT Lookout, I plan to stop back later.
Thanks for the link...
however I would suggest it has flaws as well...
for example...
ie gold standard studies...
You might want to hear the clip.
What does the Cochrane report say?
Cochrane is a non-for-profit international network, which includes researchers, health professionals, patients and carers from all over the world.
The report, published in January 2023, included trials which compared medical/surgical masks versus no masks in the prevention of the spread of viral respiratory illness.
The results from those trials indicated that “wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness”.
However, the report’s conclusion urged caution and said there was “a high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions”.
Karla Soares-Weiser, editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Library, responded to reports saying that “masks don’t work” as an “inaccurate and misleading interpretation”. However, “there is just no evidence that they [masks] make any difference”.
Bottom line, if you feel masking is effective, wear them, but don't mandate them...especially for children.
Thanks for coming by, and expressing an alternate view.
Hope y'all have a great brunch!

It's quite obvious to actual observers what is going on.
Step 1: The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacks some obscure village in the grayzone.
Step 2: Battle ensues, and the Russians retreat after having slaughtered abut 80% of the Ukrainian forces.
Step 3: Collective West mass media puppets declare victory.
Step 4: The Russians re-occupy the obscure village.
Step 5: The whole process is granted the blessings of the collective West by being called "aid to Ukraine."
Rinse and repeat. Here's a RBN piece illustrating the HISTORY in which the "NATO Left" was created. We were all supposed to pretend that America is this great democracy in which people debate opposing opinions. A few ridiculous polls later, and the "Left" in America spontaneously disappears, replaced by millionaire journalist fan clubs for so-called "Leftists." "We love Bernie and AOC with every 50,000 Ukrainian casualties produced by the foreign policy they promote!"
So there it is, folks -- the real aim of the Blinken - Nuland - Sullivan syndicate. To get a whole swath of Americans who might otherwise demand a better world to self-destruct, and all they have to do is keep up the lie through the November 2024 election and they'll have another four years to make Russia and China into the world's most prosperous countries. They aren't doing this intentionally, of course, but intentions matter little when you've managed to get all meaningful dissenting voices to self-silence. Of course they won't be able to do it.

If Joe makes it to the '24 election...
I'll be surprised.
Your Ukraine war synopsis rings true. However, one important idea to my mind is that the Russians strategically withdraw, wait for Ukraine to move in and then inflict massive casualties allowing them to move back into the area. This is indeed a war of attrition.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
As you say lookout
the Cochrane trial included
The glaring problem with that is that medical/surgical masks are to prevent droplet spread not airborne spread. That discredits the study from the get-go. Covid is primarily spread airborne. That requires at the very least an N95 mask. You will not prevent spread of Covid using a surgical mask.
Covid requires BSL-3 precautions for containment. People who work with these types of diseases and viruses know this. Surgical masks are not used for prevention of airborne particles because they are not designed to work for that purpose, they are designed to prevent droplet spread. Covid is a virus that primarily enters our body through the respiratory tract but it is an airborne particle not a droplet. You need an N95 for prevention. They used surgical masks in their study? That's crazy.
On top of that, the author states there was low adherence to mask wearing during the study. How can you say you studied the effectiveness of masks if people didn't wear the masks during the study?
Here is where the author of the study says that
It sure does hamper the drawing of firm conclusions! In fact it makes it the very definition of a flawed study.
Just because the mainstream media shouted from the rooftops that this company is the gold standard for research doesn't make it so.
All studies are flawed ...
and I'll say again if you feel a mask is protective, wear one. I used to think they worked too. My thinking has changed, but we're all on our own in this brave new world.
Edit to Add: Just because TPTB hollered from the roof tops that masking works doesn't make it so either.

I have to go shop
but when I get back, I will try to locate some of the info I have been reading for 3 years that no mask exists that can prevent the incredibly tiny respiratory virus particles from passing through.
You are correct that everyone should do or not do what they believe makes them safer. I am on the side that believes masks are not merely useless to prevent virus spreading, but that they are actually harmful.

I'm in agreement...
They harm children in spades, and that is a real crime.
I'll look forward to your masking studies. Thanks.

This was a Review
of 78 RCTs most of which (except for 8) were done pre-Covid and for a variety of respiratory viruses. The authors' conclusion is that the evidence for mask effectiveness in preventing or reducing the rate of infection and transmission is inconclusive, which they note is different from saying that masks don't work.

I know that work
, that is exactly what has been discredited. Did you read the analysis that I posted above? It doesn't seem like you did.
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/02/new-buzzy-cochrane-study-sets-th...
Here is one of the authors of the study stating that the study is inconclusive (therefore does not prove that masks do not work);
So here you have a study that claims to prove masks don't work, yet a large percentage of the people didn't even wear the masks! What kind of study is that?
@randtntx randtntx, I am
randtntx, I am reading this stuff the way you are. RCT's are considered the gold standard, but mask efficacy is dependent on HOW WELL they are worn. Poor fitting masks worn intermittently are obviously not going to be very helpful. But well fitted, well worn 95's will be helpful.
I have a friend who is an almost retired (was but then wasn't) research Doc at the VA. Has connections and relationship with Osterholm here in MN. Pretty bright guy. Bit IMHO missed the boat on C19. Early on he showed me the Cochrane study on Iv. In his view it proved Iv didn't work. But for those who remember that study it showed that in 7 of 13 studies it did work. But averaged out it was only a 20% (or so, going by memory) benefit, so the conclusion was statistically insignificant. But I argued, if the Wright brothers got their plane in the air 7 out of 13 times they would know they were onto something. They wouldn't say, "well that is nothing". They would say, pack your bags we are going back out next weekend to try again.
Anyhow, fast forward to the Cochrane study that shows that "masks don't work". Now, same friend says Cochrane messed this up. I happen to agree. I think they messed both up. Common sense tells us that if something works 7 out of 13 times then there is a signal and something to work with. And common sense tells us that a respiratory disease which is spread thru the air can be at least partially mitigated by making sure we always have fresh clean air to breathe. Results will vary based on how well you mask. I think Lambert and NC have done quite a masterful job of sleuthing out that this was airborne rather than droplet. And that air quality is key. CR boxes and well worn masks. IMHO they have missed the boat on vaccine injury, over focusing on long C19. And missed the boat on just how effective Iv is. But if I wanted to loose money real quick I would bet against NC. And if I wanted to be safe and smart I would bet with them.
Wow
, I didn't remember that that was a Cochrane study that did Ivermectin in. That's sort of ironic.
I agree with you when you say
I also agree with you point by point about the excellent job Lambert and NC did on certain aspects of this public health crisis while not being so strong on other aspects.
Yes, read
your analysis, no hadn't seen the NC piece.
Did the study ever claim specifically that "masks don't work" as you assert it did? Or was that conclusion drawn by social media/bloggers? I only saw that they said the results were inconclusive as I noted above. I didn't catch where they overstated their case.
Also, question -- how would a valid study be conducted that could accurately track if test subjects are consistently wearing the given masks?
The lead author of the study
, Tom Jefferson, interviewed in the Times by Bret Stephens said:
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/02/new-buzzy-cochrane-study-sets-th...
I do know that there is a very clear statement in the beginning of the report that says the study is inconclusive.
https://www.cochrane.org/news/statement-physical-interventions-interrupt...
And yes, this truly is the tricky bit;
In this case, a large RCT is probably not the best choice.
Good morning
As I have my morning coffee, I think about mask efficacy tests.
How do the tests define "wearing"? When at work? When at school? When outside your dwelling? When sleeping? Eating? Taking a shower? Who is in that dwelling? Are they masked?
In other words, there is simply no way to test their efficacy one way or another.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
There is a way to test their efficacy
. The study you linked showed how it was done. The problem is compliance, consistency, knowledge, and a myriad of other factor which I am sure all of us could compile a list of.
As others have pointed out, this is an engineering problem. We can make good masks. They do it for people who work in Tuberculosis clinics. They do it for people who work in BSL-3 labs. It is not hard to do, we are smart enough. You could not hire people to work with tuberculosis patients if you did not have good PPE. It is done all the time. Why do people throw up their hands and behave as if we can not solve this problem. We know how to reduce these risks. Why don't we just do it? Why do we have to make a political argument about what is simply a public health measure?
Problem:
tb is a bacteria, not a virus. That is what they were designed to give protection from spread.
I haven't seen any data that any mask that could block aerosol viruses unless they were so solid, you couldn't inhale.
I agree 90% is way better than none, but it only takes one of those damn virus particles to get a person infected.
If this whole problem is viewed from military prospective, the virus was meant to spread, with no way possible to stop it. It is a bioweapon. The military was successful.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
Oh I disagree completely
. There is the concept of viral load. If you have an area with a dense concentration of circulating virus (lets say a small room or and airplane) where air circulation is very bad, then your chances of inhaling the virus are higher. You are correct that there is a percentage of risk no matter what, but my aim is to decrease my chances of risk, and that can be done. It is not an impossible problem.
Both covid and TB are BSL-3 level pathogens and both require PPE with a minimum of N95 masks.

The Covid con, Part 2
Over the last couple months the gov't and its puppet masters have been coming under extreme pressure because of the total incompetence and lack of support for the people of this country....
and what are we talking about?
Covid.
(Added) It's almost like it's planned.
incompetence is the name of our game...
There's a reason I call it the plandemic.
From 2010...

Thanks for the visit!

Thanks for the link...
I learned it months ago even before Dr. John...but I bought in for the longest time because it makes intuitive sense, but doesn't really work. Sometimes intuition is flawed.
Thanks for the link!
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Here is a paragraph from the study
, you cited. It shows that masks do work.
I will gladly take a 90% reduction of viral load by wearing a mask as opposed to breathing in a full virus load. They do say masks aren't 100% effective. but 90% reduction of risk is not bad.
https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/msphere.00637-20
Go for it!
I will not, can't breathe when wearing them, and will not be identified as a compliant citizen on some camera on the street.
90% isn't 100%. Distance plays a part. Can't say how many times I have fallen into that rare adverse side effect group in my life.
It is so personal, so do what you want to do. It isn't for me or anyone to criticize. Vice versa.
This isn't an argument, and the differing opinion you and I have is just our individual interpretations. I do not view myself as helping or harming anyone. I am only interested, 3 yrs into this, about myself and my immediate circle of friends and family.
Interpretations differ.

Also cannot
breathe in the 95s. I use what is called a near-95 from Korea, on those rare occasions when I don a mask for 15 min or so. Mostly not donning these days.
If it works for you
and you are kept from being sick, I would be a total ass for advising you to unmask.
I will report to this site the day I get the new Covid variant, and anyone here can hammer me for not masking or vaxxing if they wish.
I will be honest and forthcoming.
Don't know about you, but my weekend was just wonderful.
edit: that was meant for randtx...

I would never, ever
, hammer you for not wearing a mask. The only time I ever hammer someone for not wearing a mask is when they are around the very high-risk people in my household.
It rained here this weekend (very briefly, 0.75 inches) and we celebrated! It was lovely. Glad you had a good one as well
finally I have a reason to go naked, I just wonder what the CIA
will find then in my 'underwear'.
Great Weekly Watch, I will have hours and hours to read and enjoy it. Thanks.

I liked Gerald's suggestion...
...just don't wear underwear.
Kinda like my idea don't tweet(X), be on farcebook, and or even have a cell phone. It isn't worth your time nor energy IMO.
Now C99 is worth my time.
Take care!

Just like he predicted 3 years ago.
Videos for those who like watching videos. I’d rather have a transcript.

Yup
, I remember hearing that.
as Dr John suggests..
The vax is more harmful than helpful. Sadly he can't just say it without dancing around the bush. It is a wild censored world we wade.

I followed the links Geert posted
and got to see excerpted screenshots from his book. Start here if interested.

The last 2 excerpts.
Maybe if the jabs stopped when omicron came out things might have been different because the virus mutated into something less severe. I have no idea if this is true, but something that crossed my mind while reading this. If you read it let me know if you see the same thing.
2 bottom lines. No gain of function no outbreak. No jabs and people eventually develop herd immunity and those who got the initial virus they should have gotten early treatment with repurposed drugs that lots of doctors found worked very early in the pandemic. Didn’t McCollough speak to the Texas legislature about ivermectin months before the jabs got authorized? He should have been praised for his work. Instead he was belittled and ostracized.
This is from Geert not Campbell. Geert was saying that from the beginning. Dr. John came to it 2 years later.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
Dr John was late to the party...
but finally got there. I was somewhere between the two. Geert saw it from the start.

Covid diversion, part 2
Yesterday I made a comment up thread about the covid discussions:
Perhaps some clarification...
I was NOT speaking about the 'demic... I was speaking about the fact that the commentary about covid is now once again taking front stage. In effect, that covid shit is now taking the place of the wokeisms.
Pay no attention to the corporate/banking cartels that are raping and pillaging our country in every sphere and using that theft to create a pretend financial system to force the rest of the world to bow to the wishes of that cartel.
Have wonderful day today, please. And remember, it is the passion of the people that keep this dystopia running for that day. Not the federal reserve.
