Doctor Suggests Delta Might Be End of Covid Waves

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

One doctor who made an appearance on CNBC recently stated the opinion that this version of Covid-19, the Delta version, might in fact be the last wave of Covid Americans might have to endure. According to Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the virus might very well become another flu variant that no longer merits such extraordinary measures to guard against.

However, he did note that right now schools in particular should be seeking to take aggressive mitigation action to assure that this does indeed end up being the result of the latest coronavirus wave.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb says the Covid delta surge may be the ‘final wave’ in U.S.

Excerpt:

Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Monday the current surge in Covid infections caused by the more contagious delta variant may be the last wave of the virus in the U.S.

“I don’t think Covid is going to be epidemic all through the fall and the winter … assuming we don’t have a variant emerge that pierces the immunity offered by prior infection or vaccination,” Gottlieb said on “Squawk Box.”

He warned that schools may need to begin the year with heavier mitigation measures in place.

CCP Uses DNC Talking Points to Spread Covid-19 Disinformation

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

PGC – It appears the Chinese Communist Party is incorporating DNC talking points into its efforts to undermine American leadership here at home. The Chinese Communist Party is now going all-in with the claims made by a former Florida Health Department Employee named Rebekah Jones. The woman made wild claims regarding the decisions Governor DeSantis was made in response to the Coronvirus epidemic.

Some of her claims seem to give some ‘legitimacy’ to China’s claims that the virus came from American troops that were part of military games in Beijing around September 2020. A Chinese national news media broadcast used the fired worker’s claims to state that the cases in Florida appear to have happened even before the cases in Wuhan.

Does this mean China and the DNC are colluding or does it mean that both parties have a fundamental motivation to deconstruct the American Bill of Rights Based Constitutionaly Limited Democrat Republic? I think much more the latter than the former, as in, the Chinese State sees an effective narrative against the legitimacy of the American government that happens to be used by a party that also seeks to create effective narratives against the legitimacy of a Bill of Rights based constitutionally limited democratic republoc.

The fact that these two parties so often ven diagram in the same space should be ever more evidence to you, the reader, that the DNC and the CCP are natural frenemy allies, allies each holding knives behind their backs should they need to suddenly kill the other.

The Chinese Communist Party is embracing claims by a fired Florida health department employee to cast doubt on the origins of COVID-19.

Rebekah Jones was a former COVID dashboard manager and claimed she was instructed to manipulate data, though she has not shown evidence for her shifting story. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office said in May 2020 that Jones “exhibited a repeated course of insubordination.”

Her claims about Florida’s data were picked up by local and national media at the time. Those claims have now found their way to China.

The state-run Global Times published a piece on Saturday focusing on Jones’s accusations and subsequent layoff, claiming Florida “is causing public concern due to its serious epidemic situation and the lack of transparency on its early cases — especially in the case of 171 early patients’ data that was deleted and hidden.” It also claimed Florida cases emerged “even earlier than the virus outbreak in China’s Wuhan.”

Taliban Take Five Major Capitals in Five Days

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

PGC – After the US pullout from Afghanistan, there was at least some token assurance in the US confidence in its Afghan counterparts in being able to deal with the Taliban threat without American power.

The effort was not great, and anyone with a basic understanding of geopolitical analysis could read between much that wasn’t expressed that the Americans knew full well the pro-Afghanis were being left to the wolves for slaughter.

So far, those of us that read such conclusions from how the Americans conducted themselves leading up withdrawal are being proven right as the Taliban is marching through Afghanistan seemingly only limited by how fast they can travel.

The Taliban have taken 5 major provincial capitals in the last 4 days, even withstanding B-52 bombings that seem to have little to no effect.

Even as we speak, the Taliban Empire we said we needed to destroy to finally end terrorism is reforming itself, and it is only smarter and more determined than it was when we first arrived after September 11th, 2001. While that Empire revitalizes and contemporizes technologically, the American Empire seems to be retreating and dividing from within. Oh what a 20 years it’s been.

Almost Half a Mil in Fines and Jail for WWII Panther Tank Collector

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

A retired 84 Year old German man has ended his national trial facing jail time and nearly half a million dollars in fines. His fines and jail sentence come from his collection of World War Two memorabilia, which seemed to focus on high-powered artillery. That included a German Panther Tank, an Anti-Aircraft Gun, and a Torpedo.

The collection also included Nazi memorabilia, though the arrest seems connected to the storage of illegal weapons than his potential Nazi connection. The article does not address whether the man was a Nazi supporter, a serious collector, or, perhaps just a crazy old man.

Authorities raided the man’s house in 2015 and found a World War II-era Panther tank, an anti-aircraft gun, a torpedo, a horde of Nazi memorabilia, and more. It took the military 9 hours to remove the tank, which had no tracks, from the man’s basement.

China Feigns Religious Tolerance with CCP-Versions of Them

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

PGC – The Chinese Communist Party is positioning itself to be the leading light of the world, the moral city on the hill that will grace all other nations with the benefits of socialism with Chinese characteristics. As such, it has to appear to be somewhat trustworthy, reliable, accountable, in positioning itself to be the new judge of the world.

This means it’s going to have to sanitize its internal brutality, through secrecy, and through managing a narrative within your allowable frames, which is what China has done by making moves that appear to be more ‘tolerant’ of other religions outside of the religion of Chairman Xi.

What China is really doing is forming some highly stripped down skeletons of some forms of religion, such as Christianity or Islam, but ones that ultimately give all authority, sovereignty, and final moral judgment to the party, and when the party is one man, such as it is right now, then to one man.

Chinese State Christianity recognizes the self-sacrificing aspect of Christ but none of His moral authority, for He is ultimately a shadow of the true faith in the end, and Chinese State Christians view a version of Super Chinese Socialist Christ as a model to become in service to the state, not God.

After decades of restricting religion, the Chinese Communist Party is carefully allowing its revival

Excerpt:

The Chinese Communist Party is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1921. For most of those decades, the party sought to restrict or obliterate traditional religious practices, which it considered part of China’s “feudal” past.

But since the late 1970s, the party has slowly permitted a multifaceted and far-reaching revival of religion in China to take place. More recently, current Chinese president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping has endorsed continued party tolerance for religion as filling a moral void that has developed amid China’s fast-paced economic growth.

This support does come with caveats and restrictions, however, including the demand that religious leaders support the Communist Party.

OU Volleybar Star Sues Coaches, Regents, Over Political Benching

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

PGC – Two Oklahoma Volleyball Coaches are claiming in a court of law that they have a constitutional right to censure college students in their athletic program for having certain political views that fall outside the orthodoxy of the acceptable.

Two American people who grew up in this land, lived off its fat, prospered from its power and security, have somehow come to conclude in that experience a right by one adult to tell another adult what political views they are permited to have to be a member of their society, AND that person also happens to be a public funded person, a near-government-paid employee of sorts, maybe even a full-fledged government employee.

That speaks volumes about the state of American liberty as a lived ideal that a major public American institution, the University of Oklahoma, has two American citizens on its collection of coaches that view the American constitution as something beneath them in the name of stopping whatever evil they imagine they’re stopping.

The two coaches in question allegedly benched a college student athlete for having the wrong political views, and, rather than denying the claim, doubled down in court documents that claim they have a right to treat a college student athlete in this way.

The student athlete is Kylee McLaughlin. Her lawsuit targets coaches Lindsey and Kyle Walton, as welll as the University’s Board of Regents.

The OU Daily reported that McLaughlin, the OU team captain and first team All-Big 12 selection in 2018 and 2019, had made comments that “at least one” of her teammates considered “racist” following a team viewing of the Netflix documentary “13th.”

Will American Banks Become Dependent on TikTok Gold?

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

TikTok has pivoted itself to be the defacto go-to communication tool with a significant proportion of American youth, and where the American youth are, advertisers are sure to follow. Financial Institutions have been left behind the TikTok party, and many think it’s time for them to dive in to the TikTok gold.

While TikTok gains social and cultural private access to America’s youth, now it can build up American business dependence on the platform’s continued existence at the same time, creating dependency on a platform of war aimed squarely at the hearts of those not willing, in the end, to accept a return of priest-king governance, where charismatic leaders define the Holy and the Profane, unfettered by such things as the Bill of Rights affords a people, a right to self-determination.

A Closer Look at Digital Attraction for Banks
When discussing digital attraction, it is crucial to examine the role of the customer.

Building digital interest in products or services requires businesses to understand their audiences. Therefore, learning more about your audience is key to learning how to attract them.

Banks must approach digital attraction the way someone might approach a new relationship. A solid foundation of trust must be established first.

Digital attraction has 3 core components
Empathy: Showing a customer that there is complete understanding of their problems
Compassion: Demonstrating a high level of care for the customer’s well-being
Ease: Soothing customer worries by providing planned out solutions

Combine Magnets and Concrete and Get Car-Powering Roads

Freedomist Editor August 10, 2021

Magment may one day be the road you drive on that you expect will also be a source for you to get power for your car and all the stuff you have that can be charged wirelessly. That’s the hope of this start-up company and Indiana’s Department of Transportation.

Magnetizable Concrete in Roads Could Charge Electric Cars While You Drive

Excerpt:

Last month, Indiana’s Department of Transport (INDOT) announced a collaboration with Purdue University and German company Magment to test out whether cement with embedded magnetized particles could provide an affordable road-charging solution.

Most wireless vehicle charging technologies rely on a process known as inductive charging, where electricity pumped into a wire coil creates a magnetic field that can induce an electric current in any other nearby wire coil. The charging coils are installed at regular intervals under the road, and cars are fitted with a receiver coil that picks up the charge.

But installing thousands of miles of copper under the road is obviously fairly costly. Magment’s solution is to instead embed standard concrete with recycled ferrite particles, which are also able to generate a magnetic field but are considerably cheaper. The company claims its product can achieve transmission efficiency of up to 95 percent and can be built at “standard road-building installation costs.”

Let Your Car Power Your Home

The service is called V2G, or “vehicle to grid”, and it could be an important component of Australia’s electricity grid in coming years, plus a way for car owners to make a little extra income.

The concept is fairly straightforward: electric vehicles (EVs) are essentially very large batteries on wheels. Most of the time they sit idle.

With V2G, the batteries in parked EVs are hooked up to a special “bi-directional charger” and coordinated through a central server to export power to the grid during periods of high demand (namely, the evenings, when people turn on appliances).
