World-wide mendacity.

EXCLUSIVE: Images of Same Boy Are Being Used as the Youngest Coronavirus Victim in the UK, Portugal and Belgium – But Photo Is of Boy from Ireland!



European Media Caught in a Huge Coronavirus Lie
News broke this month that 13-year-old Ismail Mohamad Abdulwahab became the youngest coronavirus victim in the UK.
And 14-year-old Victor Godinho became the youngest coronavirus victim in Portugal.

The image of Conor Wilmot, a 13 year old Irish boy who died in 2017, is being used in fake reports about the identity and nationality of the youngest Muslim COVID-19 victim in the UK, Portugal and Belgium.

The news media everywhere totally sucks and is completely dishonest.

Mainly because China is so heavily invested in them. Because of all that money, they bow to their Chinese masters.

The Chinese own a $300 million stake in Reddit, FFS.

The 5th most visited site in the US and 13th worldwide (2019 numbers)...

Complaints of CCP influence and astroturfing and moderation are rampant in various corners of Reddit.

(A useful resource in many ways, mind you, but still...)

I find it ironic the Chicoms are lying about their numbers in order to make it appear there are fewer deaths than there actually are from the Covid and the U.S. is lying to make it appear there are more deaths than there are from the Covid. The truth is harder to find than toilet paper!!

Just heard an interview on the radio. There's no evidence that Covid-19 is contracted through food consumption (it is after all a respiratory disease). Continue to employ your usual reasonable food-handling procedures.

Link is to a planned protest in CO about reopening. Or that's what I see every time I click it.

"Protest to Open Closed Businesses at the Colorado State Capitol on Sunday, April 19"

^^^ Oh his post made no mention about that, or any idea of what the link was for. I was thinking clown make up tutorial. Now I am disappointed.

Come on Jesse, lighten up a little. The Joker meme is somewhat irrelevant. The link (everything but the article name part edited out) is to an article at the Colorado Citizen Press about a protest against the lockdowns.

Counting deaths like that is the very real reason we can not trust all these numbers being thrown out by the government. We will never know just how many of the deaths occurred just like this. Of course, it's in their interest to keep people scared to death and get as high a count as possible so the sheep follow blindly along.

Yes...

Reason, Emergencies, and Self-Government

In the time of COVID-19, the primary practical problem is that any number of persons who hold positions of power have taken to exercising their statutory authority—and often much much more—to please themselves or to act out their dreams of power.

By Angelo Codevilla • April 14, 2020

As panic over the COVID-19 virus has gripped the country, the alarm has made it possible for many government officials to advance agendas that portend permanent accretions of power to themselves and diminution of others’ freedoms.

There is nothing new about claims that ordinary people must surrender their goods and freedoms in exchange for salvation from real, hyped, or imagined emergencies. These instances have occurred in societies ruled by magic, in ancient democracies and empires, in the context of religion, as well as under the presumed aegis of science. Plagues, comets, famines, anniversaries, computer problems (remember Y2K?), and global warming, have provided the fear. Power stokes panic, which perverts all judgment and emboldens the willful.

In Western civilization, and in America especially, the specific consequences of such panics are smaller than the corrosive effects they have on the civilization and the regimes themselves—based as these are on reason. What follows sketches the larger problem.

On April 8, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked about his agency’s guidance for classifying the relationship of COVID-19 infections to deaths, specifically: “In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed.’”

The question proceeded from the fact that, as the number of deaths attributed to the Chinese coronavirus has risen, the number of deaths normally attributed to causes such as influenza, pneumonia, heart failure and complications from diabetes has declined significantly. Fauci was asked to explain why. Since the vast majority of serious COVID-19 cases occur in people with precisely such conditions, is it not possible that the high count of COVID-19 deaths is in part an artifact of CDC’s guidance?

The integrity of the numbers regarding infections and deaths is of the highest importance because these numbers are the basis on which Fauci, followed by model makers, followed by politicians, have estimated COVID-19’s lethality. And that estimate is the basis on which the state of emergency has been imposed, which is revolutionizing millions of lives. Besides, these estimates are diverging from reality ever farther with each passing day.

Yet Fauci did not address the numbers’ integrity. He dismissed the question. Above all, he dismissed the questioner’s right to ask it: “You will always have conspiracy theories when you have very challenging public health crises. They are nothing but distractions.”

Leave aside that Fauci and other unelected persons have no authority to decree anything; that, at most, they speak for the president of the United States. For anyone to dismiss legitimate questions and questioners, thereby claiming a right to rule in defiance of reason, is to negate nature as our civilization understands it—especially in America.

This civilization is based on the book of Genesis. And the United States of America is based on the Declaration of Independence. Both affirm that the universe is created according to reason, and is intelligible by human reason; both also affirm that all human beings are created by one God, equally in the image and likeness of God. As Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger summed it up in his 2006 Regensburg lecture, “Not to act reasonably, not to act with logos, is contrary to the nature of God.”

The practical meaning of “all men are created equal” is that no one may rule anyone else without his consent. And the consent of equals must be obtained by persuasion. To impose strictures on someone else while dismissing reasonable questions as to the basis for them is no trivial offense. It is an offense against our regime quite as much as it is on the individuals being treated as beings so inferior as to be placed beyond reason’s reach.

In the time of COVID-19, the primary practical problem is that any number of persons who hold positions of power have taken to exercising their statutory authority—and often much more—to please themselves or to act out their dreams of power. This has resulted in such assaults on common sense as the release from jail of common criminals, failure to arrest others, and the arresting and even jailing of those who defy orders to stay indoors or not work.

Just as galling is the coalescence of America’s ruling Left in demanding that the country remain shut down indefinitely, pending their own decision to release some restrictions conditioned on obeisance to their prescriptions for new ways of life. Fauci himself has said that he would allow those who can be certified to have recovered from a COVID-19 infection to return to work—subject to twice-daily temperature checks. Who gave him the right to so order?

The most consequential of the consequences of all this is precisely the dismissal of argument. Who are we, the presumably non-expert to question the experts?

Reasonably, the question should be turned around: Who are you to presume to rule over me? Who gave you such authority? I did not.

Clown makeup tutorial? Wtf are you smoking?
Click on the damned link if you want to know what the link is and if you've ever owned a television you should know what the picture means.
Or are you intentionally obtuse like when someone posts something about a celebrity and some a-hole always has to reply, "who?" so show everyone how cool they are.

Anyone else notice the IHME model hasn't been updated with hard data in 5 days? Curious, eh?

I think I may have heard that it may be updated sometime today. The projections will of course be revised down yet again.

Their chief statistician, Tommy Flanagan is on vacation- with his wife, Morgan Fairchild, whom he happens to know. Yeah, that's the ticket...

They are waiting for a few days of daily death reporting data under the new COVID death guidelines so that the fake daily death reports match better with the fake models.

I have been saying all along that he is a smug, arrogant know it all in love with all the attention he is getting. Trump will be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't so he may as well go ahead and do everything he can to open and lift all these restrictions. He should tell this guy to sit down and STFU.
Protests are beginning and if something doesn't happen soon, it's going to get ugly.
