Ooo, good catch on the crooked smiles. I see the eye deviations quite a bit in clinic with the littles. 😢

Started listening to the Rogan interview on my commute. 🤯

Thanks as always for the good thinking. 💡

Also off-topic but related. Throughout the now-2-year crisis, I’ve been trying to figure out how and when the legal system’s protections for human beings fell apart so that they turned out to be so useless against the onslaughts.

A podcast interview with Attorney Todd Callender on Jan. 30, 2022 pulled together a lot of the pieces, and in the last three weeks, I’ve written up the contents of his audio interview for those who prefer to read information.

Legal Walls of the Covid-19 Kill Box

It’s a long-read on the crosslinks between US federal law, WHO-directed biowarfare, Supreme Court precedents on patenting/ownership/licensing of genetically-modified living organisms, and local (county & state) public health/law enforcement merger, constructed between 1990 and 2021.

This is off topic but I was wondering your thoughts on the new CDC Milestone updates for children. I have a son with Autism that would of been overlooked and denied early intervention based on some of these updates. In addition, our insurance company is restricting some therapies by adding crazy requirements. This whole thing made me think of your work on the cost of Autism. I am really concern this is just the beginning.

I think that is an astute observation - that the government is struggling to maintain control and its leaders are ending up acting like tyrants - Trudeau's vaccine mandates/commandeering financial system - Biden's mandates/social media censorship etc. And in the cases of Trudeau and Biden - not particularly power hungry/tyrannical personalities. It seems more and more that our 18th century system of government is showing its age - it is expressive of lofty ideals but there is such a disconnect between the pace of change and the pace of lawmaking etc.

Toby,

If you get a cerebral hemisphere stroke, yes, the opposite side of the body (contralateral side) is involved, because the long fiber tracts from the (ipsilateral) hemispheric parietal lobe cross in the brainstem to the opposite side. This means you will get a left-sided hemiplegia (motor paralysis) of many major muscle groups from a right hemispheric stroke. And vice-versa from a left hemisphere stroke in the right side of the body.

An isolated facial nerve palsy is from the 7th cranial nerve (facial nerve) exiting the brainstem after the long fiber tracts have crossed in the midbrain. This means the paralysis is on the ipsilateral (same side) side as the inflammation in the ipsilateral 7th nerve - these "vaxx" injuries are in large part due to inflammation in one of the 12 peripheral cranial nerves (unless it's from a major clotting event in the hemisphere, in which case the patient would unlikely be able to walk). So yes, you are potentially right, but actually wrong, to use Aristotelian terms. :-)

If it was a right cerebral stroke it would be the left face, but there would be disruption of many other muscle and sensory groups, such as swallowing (dysphagia), talking (dysarthria) and hearing, even hemiplegia. But an isolated facial palsy is from inflammation in the ipsilateral facial nerve as it exits the brainstem. It is also called Bell's Palsy. (one of my favourite musicians, Gord Lightfoot, had one early on in his career, and could no longer whistle afterwards from persistent weakness in his cheek muscles).

hope you see this, I wasn't sure how to reply, please let me know.

Thanks,

Marc

Something I’ve been ruminating on- this too shall pass. We opt out of their madness, but I’ve gone down the rabbit hole that humans are hundreds of millions of years old. This gave me a sense of peace. That we have been through much, and will continue on. Also, highly recommend watching grand-jury.net a part that really resonated with me was the testimony by Meredith Miller, who said there was deep fear on both sides- of covid and of tyranny. I am on the side of the fear of tyranny, and I let it take over my life. It’s important to fight, but keep perspective and take care of ourselves.

Thanks Toby for the call out - I’ve got a response I will post but I’m in Brisbane with no power or internet due to the massive “rain bomb” tats been over us the past 5 days. Just getting some connectivity back today. Anyway will post soon and put up this post of yours for my readers as well.

When I was growing up, the daily newspaper carried columns on "manners." Parents today don't teach or expect gentil behavior. Vulgarity is in vogue. How boring!

How a bureaucratic agency can "end a pandemic":

The CDC just changed the way county risk levels are determined.

BEFORE, a county’s level of transmission (which the CDC used synonymously with "risk") was "based on just two metrics: new Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people and the positivity rate, both measured over the last seven days."

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/28/health/substantial-or-high-covid-19-transmission-wellness/index.html

NOW, they look at "the combination of three metrics — new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past 7 days, the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days — to determine the COVID-19 community level."

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/community-levels.html

Genesee County's test positivity rate was 50% higher the second week of February than it was the first week of August, and cases per 100,00 are almost double now what they were back then.

Michigan's hospitalizations in the week ending February 16 were over 4 times as high as they were the first week of August, which was right before most counties decided kids should wear masks to school.

If we applied the CDC's new metrics to the data from August, I think it would show that there is still much more risk now than there was then. The team of statisticians who came up with a way to make worse data look better must be getting a big fat bonus in their next check.

Looks like they are playing a game on us in 2020 - 2022 like their grandparents played a game on our grandparents in 1918 - 1920, and the outcome of the inbreeding technique which seems to be very popular among the "self-entitled" has become - at least - noticeable, their offspring being lazy, absolutely bonkers and without a scratch of imagination.

Therefore the "young ones" copied the script and made slight changes to decorum, instead of coming up with something new.

Our answers and especially our actions will decide whether their grandchildren - if any - will play the same games on our grandchildren.

If any...

More good points Toby, linking today as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Also was wondering if you had seen a couple of HUGE articles on Covid the past couple of days, One was by Igor Chudov that I linked yesterday about a study that shows mRNA integrates into your DNA, which Karl Denninger further elaborates on in an article today, The oher article was in the Daily Mail about a study that shows the virus contains a tiny chunk of DNA that matches sequence patented by Moderna THREE YEARS before pandemic began. I have linked or will be linking all three articles today and yesterday, Once again, both of these points are huge and everyone should be getting this out!!!!!!!

Yes; Fauci is 80, Schwab 83, Gates 66, Biden 83. They are old and desperately trying to maintain power.

Something to keep in mind, anecdotal on my part- I have a crooked smile, apparently. At nearly 56 , I didn't have the vax schedule that those even 10 years younger did.

And? I never realized I had such, until shortly after my Mom's death. One of her best friends pointed it out to me : " You have your Mom's crooked smile!" Mom certainly had almost no vaccines .

Don't assume everyone who smiles like this to be damaged. I may not be " Quite right.." but I get my smile honestly ☺.

it's refreshing to see a clear visualization of positive outcome amongst all the fear, gloom, and doom caused by government overreach and racketeering (which has been more obvious than usual over the last two years.)

nicely put...

"But just imagine the human flourishing that will occur once we finally get through this phase and end up on the other side knowing what we know now about the inadequacies of bourgeois institutions and the sanctity of personal sovereignty?"
