By definition, if I am choosing what I want then that is free will.  What I want might be determined by everything that has ever happened to me, but I can still choose what I want.

I've seen this.  I think that there is such a strong desire for confirmation bias that it makes people delusional.  There is strong compelling evidence that this is nonsense.








All three vaccines authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe and effective in preventing severe COVID-19. They continue to undergo continuous and intense safety monitoring.


  • COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
  • Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.
  • CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.
  • If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic. Learn more about what you can do when you have been fully vaccinated.



We have 150 million Americans fully vaccinated with 319 million doses given in the U.S.  A whopping 2.9 billion doses have been given worldwide.  If this was toxic, we would know about this by now.  

Imagine how many more spike proteins you will have if you catch COVID.

I think ultimately we might find a connection between Black Holes and Dark Matter.  One of the theories for Dark Matter is that there are a bunch of primordial micro singularities formed at the beginning of the universe.

Small Modular Reactors: The Model T Of Nuclear Energy

Earth's Climate every 100,00 years

Something very interesting happens to the Earth's Climate roughly every 100,000 years.  The Earth's temperature very quickly spikes up 8 to 15 degrees Celcius, followed by at least 10,000 years of relatively stable warm temperatures.  This is then followed by a rapid decline in temperature leading to 80,000 to 90,000 years of glaciation where half of North America is covered by glaciers, during which time the Earth slowly gets colder.  Then the cycle repeats.  The last time we experienced rapid warming was about 11,000 years ago.  All of human civilization arose during this brief warm period, thanks in part to the fertile crescent in the Middle East making grains more available.

We should be in the cool-down phase by now, but anthropogenic greenhouse gases have at least temporarily delayed it.  It was predicted in the 1970s that we were entering a new ice age.  A period from 1500 to 1850 has been labeled "the little ice age", however, atmospheric CO2 levels started to go up in the 1800s.  Some have said that no matter what we do we can't avoid the next period of mass glaciation roughly 10,00 years from now, while others have suggested that we can delay it.  Previous ice ages have caused massive declines in the human population.

These temperature cycles are caused by the roughly 5 different Malankovich cycles aligning with each other to produce rapid warming.  These cycles affect the Earth's orbit and its axial tilt.  The Earth is currently halfway between its maximum tilt and its minimum tilt, which has a 41,000-year cycle.  At the maximum tilt, the glaciers melt more, reducing the Earth's albedo, which means that less sunlight is reflected into space.  The increasing temperatures cause the oceans to release more of their stored CO2 into the atmosphere, which creates a temporary positive feedback loop.  The warming effect of CO2 in the atmosphere is logarithmic, which means that it reaches a saturation point, producing a temporarily stable warm climate.




I don't understand why the cycle is every 100,000 years instead of every 41,000 years, and this Wikipedia article talks about this being an "issue" that they don't understand.  Prior to about 3 million years ago, the cycle was every 41,000 years.

A Skeptical Look at Climate Science

In response to...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7FAAfK78_M

I wrote ...

The controversy centers around what the Climate Sensitivity is to a doubling of CO2. We are told that the atmospheric CO2 level will double to 800 Parts Per Million by the year 2100, at which time we will be running out of most fossil fuels, so all the focus has been on what will happen by the year 2100. The Climate Sensitivity depends upon positive feedback because the direct effect of doubling CO2 is only a change of 1.1 degrees Celsius. The degree of positive feedback has been controversial.

However, they keep moving the goalpost. Original claims of Climate Sensitivity were as high as 5 to 12 degrees Celsius. However, the IPCC now gives a range of 1.5 to 4.5, stating that the predicted average is about 3 degrees. I saw videos from a decade ago stating that we were on course to raise the temperature 3 degrees by the year 2100, but if we take action we could limit that to 2 degrees, and they further state that this would be manageable. However, in the last five years, the wording has shifted to state that we are on course to raise the temperature by 2 degrees Celsius by the year 2100, but if we take action we could limit that to 1.5 degrees and this new goal would be manageable. They even have a catchy slogan, "Half a degree makes a difference."

Almost everybody is comparing temperature change to the year 1880 because presumably, that is when the more accurate records were kept. However, the 1880s were a cold period resulting in massive snowstorms that killed hundreds of people. It would an amazing coincidence if the year 1880 had the exact ideal temperature for humans on planet Earth, and everything since then is an aberration.

The atmospheric temperature has only risen about 1 degree Celsius in the last 140 years. This is a slow process giving us plenty of time to adjust. Climate Alarmism has ignored that there are proposed methods of removing CO2 from the atmosphere should we need to, such as Iron Fertilization. However, I don't feel that we will ever need to do this.

Meanwhile, the increased atmospheric CO2 levels have resulted in the greening of the Earth. Crop yields have gone through the roof. Deserts have been slowly shrinking.

If you look at the atmospheric CO2 level over the last 40 million years then you will see that it is in a nosedive. Not just a slight decline, but the CO2 levels have been in an almost vertical drop. The reason for this is that natural processes sequester CO2 with water and rock. We depend upon volcanoes to release CO2 back into the atmosphere, but we haven't had enough volcanoes to maintain past levels. This is why we have been in an ice age for the last 2.5 million years. During the last period of glaciation, the CO2 level got dangerously low, down to 180 parts per million, which is close to the level of 150 parts per million where all terrestrial plants die. We were running out of CO2 until human beings intervened.

Popping a 5000A Fuse

The Real Reasons Quantum Entanglement Doesn't Allow Faster-Than-Light Communication

It's a brilliant plan, but there's a problem: entanglement only works if you ask a particle, "what state are you in?" If you force an entangled particle into a particular state, you break the entanglement, and the measurement you make on Earth is completely independent of the measurement at the distant star. If you had simply measured the distant particle to be +1 or -1, then your measurement, here on Earth, of either -1 or +1 (respectively) would give you information about the particle located light years away. But by forcing that distant particle to be +1 or -1, that means, no matter the outcome, your particle here on Earth has a 50/50 shot of being +1 or -1, with no bearing on the particle so many light years distant.

This Can Travel Faster Than Light


Although I have been aware of this since the late 1980s, I haven't seen an explanation of the mechanism. Since we haven't tested entangled pairs of particles light-years apart, how do we know that this is true? We can't guarantee that what works over short distances would work over light-years. It would seem to violate the rule that information can't travel faster than the speed of light, which as I understand physics, would violate causality.

EcoHealth Alliance

In April 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, the NIH ordered EcoHealth Alliance to cease spending the remaining $369,819 from its current NIH grant at the request of the Trump administration due to their bat research relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology,

Peter Daszak, a leading scientist whose organization had funded the coronavirus research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, had thanked Dr Anthony Fauci for downplaying the theory that the coronavirus may have leaked from a lab.

According to the reports, Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance, a research group that secured a grant to perform coronavirus research in Wuhan before the pandemic, had written a mail to Dr Fauci to say a "personal thank you" on behalf of his staff and collaborators after the latter had dismissed the idea that the pandemic started due to a lab accident in Wuhan.


Shi Zhengli - Wikipedia

The SCMP also reported that Shi was the focus of personal attacks in Chinese social media who claimed the WIV was the source of the virus, leading Shi to post: "I swear with my life, [the virus] has nothing to do with the lab", and when asked by the SCMP to comment on the attacks, Shi responded: "My time must be spent on more important matters".[24] In a March 2020 interview with Scientific American, where she was called China's "Bat Woman",[25] Shi said "Bat-borne coronaviruses will cause more outbreaks", and "We must find them before they find us."[2] Leading virologists have explained that SARS-CoV-2 is most likely of natural origin, and that it is extremely unlikely that it leaked from a lab.[26][27] Shi's colleague Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance,[28] which studies emerging infectious diseases, has noted estimates that 1–7 million people in Southeast Asia who live or work in proximity to bats are infected each year with bat coronaviruses.[26][27] In an interview with Vox, Daszak comments, "There are probably half a dozen people that do work in those labs. So let's compare 1 million to 7 million people a year to half a dozen people; it's just not logical."[27] On July 31 Science Magazine published a interview with Shi in which she commented "to date, there is zero infection of all staff and students in our institute."[29] Asked by Science Magazine why the WIV conducts coronavirus experiments in BSL-4 labs when most other scientists work with coronaviruses BSL-2 or BSL-3 conditions, Shi explained that her group also used BSL-2 and BSL-3 laboratories for their coronavirus research, but that they had begun to use BSL-4 laboratories per government regulations after the pandemic.

I would personally welcome any form of visit, based on an open, transparent, trusting, reliable and reasonable dialogue. But the specific plan is not decided by me.




The Wuhan Lab Leak Hypothesis Is A Conspiracy Theory, Not Science

Fwd: Fauci emails

Dr. Fauci mostly unfairly has been used as a punching bag by the political right.  They claim that he has contradicted himself and lied.   Fauci has stated repeatedly that as our scientific understanding of the pandemic changed, so did the advice he gave.  He also changed his advice when the CDC changed its recommendations.  

Fauci has also erred on the side of caution.  In his job, how could he not?  Before we knew if vaccinated people could still spread the disease, he was telling people to still be cautious and follow the CDC guidelines.

Part of the problem is that the political right has all along downplayed the seriousness of this pandemic.  Fourteen months ago I observed how fast this disease was spreading and predicted that millions would die.  Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh compared COVID-19 to the common cold and other political commentators echoed his opinion.

The point I kept hearing for over a year is that Fauci changed his position on masks.   Back when COVID-19 was barely present in the United States, Fauci was saying that people didn't need to wear masks and that COVID-19 was not that big of a threat to America.  But in March of 2020, the disease exploded in the United States and Fauci changed his recommendation.  Fauci also admitted later that he did not want to see a run on masks that would create a shortage for medical professionals.

For example, I am listening to a radio program right now where the host is bitterly complaining that Fauci stated that masks weren't effective.  Although true, when evidence came out that masks helped stop the spread of the disease, he changed his position.

A couple of Fauci's emails out of thousands show that people were discussing the possibility that this disease came from a lab leak, but he still states that he thinks that this is the less likely possibility.  The reason he gives is that all the previous pandemics came from animal transmission.  Early on, the experts were saying that this did not come from a lab.  We also don't have any evidence that this was a lab leak, mainly because the Chinese government isn't cooperating.  Personally, I don't trust the Chinese government nor do I trust the safety of gain of function research.  We also don't have any evidence that this disease came from an animal.  This is another area where Fauci has changed his position, stating that it is possible that the disease came from a lab.

I have a much bigger problem with Fauci testifying under oath that the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases did not support the gain of function of research in the Wuhan lab.  However, reportedly it did support this research through an intermediary.  That appears to be a problem.

From: Larry

We came to these conclusions incrementally, spurred by evidence that accumulated over the course of a year. Tonight, we have the mother-load. Thanks to a freedom of information request from Buzzfeed, we have thousands of emails to and from Tony Fauci, going back to the early winter of 2020. Collectively, they show that from the beginning, Fauci was worried the public might conclude that COVID originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Why was Fauci be concerned that Americans would conclude that? Possibly because Tony Fauci knew perfectly well he'd funded gain-of-function experiments at that same laboratory.

The emails prove Fauci lied about this under oath. 

Consider this exchange, which began the evening of January 31, 2020. It was a Friday, just before midnight. 

The first email came from an immunologist called Kristian Andersen, who works at the Scripps Research Institute in California. Andersen warned Fauci that COVID appeared to have been manipulated in a laboratory.  

"The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (less than point one percent), so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered." 

The next day, on February 1, Tony Fauci wrote back, "Thanks, Kristian. Talk soon on the call."  

Fauci then sent an urgent email to his top deputy, Hugh Auchincloss. The subject of his email, in all-caps, was "IMPORTANT."  

"Hugh: It is essential that we speak this AM. Keep your cell phone on. Read this paper as well as the email that I will forward you know. You will have tasks today that must be done." 

Attached to the email was a document entitled, "Baric, Shi, et al -- Nature Medicine -- SARS Gain of Function.pdf." 

The "Baric" in that attachment refers to Ralph Baric, a virologist based in the United States who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  

Baric worked with a woman called Dr. Shi Zhengli -- known as the "Bat Lady," because she manipulates coronaviruses that infect bats. 

Keep in mind that during questioning from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Tony Fauci denied that this same Ralph Baric had conducted gain-of-function research. Again, this is the Ralph Baric in Fauci's attachment entitled, "Baric, Shi et al - SARS Gain of Function." Yet, under oath, Fauci denied it: 

DR FAUCI:  Dr. Baric does not do gain function research. And if it is, it's according to the guidelines and it is being conducted in North Carolina…And if you look at the grant and you look at the progress reports, it is not gain function despite the fact that people tweet that.

Oh, it wasn't just on Twitter. It was in Fauci's own emails.

In retrospect, that looks a lot like perjury. We do know that starting early last year, a lot of people at NIH were worried that COVID had not occurred naturally — that it had instead been manipulated in a lab in China – and yet they seemed determined to hide that fact from the public. Why?

On the afternoon of February first last year, Fauci held a conference call with several top virologists. Most of the details of that call remain hidden from public view. They've been redacted. We know the call was related to a document entitled, "coronavirus sequence comparison."  

Jeremy Farrar, a British physician who runs a major research nonprofit, reminded everyone on the call that what they said was top-secret.  

"Information and discussion is shared in total confidence and not to be shared until agreement on next steps," he wrote. 

In other emails, Jeremy Farrar passed along an article from the website ZeroHedge, suggesting that the coronavirus might have been created as a bioweapon.  

We now know that's a more plausible explanation than the one we believed at first and were told by the media which is that coronavirus came from a pangolin.

But for the crime of saying it out loud, a more plausible explanation, ZeroHedge was banned from social media platforms. Until recently, you weren't allowed to suggest that COVID might be manmade.  

Why? The fact-checkers wouldn't allow it. Why wouldn't they? Because Tony Fauci assured the tech monopolies that the coronavirus could not have been manmade. So the tech giants shut down the topic. Fauci lied. 

FAUCI: A group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolve, and the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.

That was April 17, 2020. Very shortly into the course of this pandemic. At that point, what Tony Fauci just asserted as known could not have conclusively been known. That was a lie. Tony Fauci suggested that he knew because top researchers had decided conclusively, that this must have jumped naturally from an animal to a human being. That was dishonest. 

Two days later, one of the virologists Tony Fauci was funding to conduct dangerous coronavirus experiments in Wuhan wrote to thank him for the help. That man, Peter Daszak, complained to Fauci that the American tax dollars he'd taken for these experiments were being "publicly targeted by Fox News reporters." Yet he remained grateful for Tony Fauci's support. 

"I just wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of our staff and collaborators," he wrote. 

Strangely, most of this specific email from Daszak to Fauci has been redacted under FOIA section (b)(7)(A). That specific exemption to disclosure applies to: "records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that production could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings."
