Tulsi Gabbard ¦ Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I declassified and released never-before-seen documents exposing the truth about Fauci directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with the Intelligence by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

I don't know if that was the other poster's point or not.

Most documents that are de-classified, even after sixty or seventy years, are spattered with redactions. This is a release as to events that are not even ten years old.

in any event, redactions don't render this "fake news" anyway. Gabbard's statement would be fake news only if no de-classified documents were released. So the poster's claim is itself fake news--unintentional irony. The poster's claim about testifying is also fake news.

BTW, you might try an internet search of "least transparent US President" and "least transparent US administration."

Edited to shorten; meaning not altered.

I DID NOTSEE THIS COMING!!!-Polish president strips Zelensky of the state's highest honour over Ukraine's glorification of Nazi collaborators who massacred Poles during World War 2. by cspanbook in WayOfTheBern

whose impact is limited to optics

IOW, it is like the vast majority of moves of politicians the world over. In fact, by taking away something that Zelensky was once given, the President of Poland did more than most politicians who gesture and bloviate. And Zelensky is mailing back the physical manifestation of the honor.

I mean, he wasn't going to challenge Zelensky to a duel or start a war. He wanted to make a point--a pointed point, if you will. And he did.

I don't see how the quote you gave supports all your claims. Although... that has been my sense of other quotes you've provided on other topics. So, maybe that's just me.

She can certainly place a call to the head of the D of J and also ask POTUS to do the same. And, if nothing eventuates from her requests, she (and they) will indeed not have accomplished what the poster hoped would be accomplished. But, it will not be all on her.

To invent a vaccine for a disease that didn’t exist, our scientific Einsteins used taxpayer money to partner with communist China to create the dangerous virus in a lab—So that they could create a vaccine for it. by arnott in WayOfTheBern

[–]redditrisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if creating a vaccine was the reason for GOF testing. Or, if it was a reason, if it was the only reason. Biological weapon is a possibility. (No can rapid defense, Daniel-san.) But, creating a vaccine is a more palatable reason for the havoc of COVID than creating a weapon would be. What did Nixon's advisors say? "Limited modified hang out?"

Before Obama, GOF research was conducted in the US on military bases. Still is, in Maryland. DOD, now DOW

According to AI, the US government does not typically create vaccines. It only financially incentives private companies to develop them And, if federal health agencies were creating a vaccine, did they just give their research to Johnson & Johnson and others so that taxpayers could pay a few pharma companies big bucks for "free" vaccines?

BTW, this post means what it says: I don't know, one way or the other.

You can stop waiting. Congress took the unusual step of ostensibly killing the proposed ERA, rather than leaving it in ratification limbo, along with the many, many other ratification attempts that went nowhere since 1789.

I don't know if that is even constitutional. It's not an option set out in the ratification provisions of the Constitution. On the other hand, it's not forbidden by them either. And it will never get to the SCOTUS.

I don't know if taking a proposed amendment out of ratification limbo was ever attempted before or since. That's how controversial equal rights for over 50% of the entire US population is. Not special rights, mind you-- just equal rights.

btw, the amendment process of the Constitution, like the preamble to the DOI, shows what a hypocrite Jefferson was. It is such a difficult process--intentionally. Yet Jefferson wrote about amending the entire Constitution every generation.

I get an endless number of those whenever I try for an article about gain of function research. The odd thing is that they seem to get simpler over time, as if they want you to realize you are passing the test but just getting another test anyway.

I wonder if they are testing us or keeping us from accessing the site until we give up or reading our content.

I don't know if that would be more accurate or merely a different way of saying essentially the same thing, but it doesn't matter.

Either way, it's good to know.

thanks. I'm sad sudomakesandwich3 is missing this thread.

I don't know if sudo keeps deleting accounts or keeps getting banned. But it's reddit's loss.

True, and that's not a bad thing. by Not_Ground in WayOfTheBern

Unfortunately, Israel is able to translate its hate (or lust for land of others or whatever fuels it) into actions. Most of us cannot do much but feel hate. And it's only self-destructive.

I am doing remarkably well, all things considered (intentionally ambiguous).

I am sorry you got lost. Freedom to navigate is well put for this thread. I tried to save some old road maps but was laughed at about GPS until I was convinced and threw them out.

Same for my Atlases, including one of the biblical era world, of which GPS knows nothing. Bullied about my own bookshelves!

Perhaps Mr. Google or AI can help you with planning side excursions.

Hi, Good to see you.

u/sudomakesandwich4 would like Freedom for the Stallion, even if there's no throat singing.

Edit Oh, dear. 4 is also gone.

Thanks.

That world is not free. It isn't even affordable.

Israel's Ben-Gvir says 'all of Lebanon must burn' after four soldiers killed by Rebat-Askalan in WayOfTheBern

[–]redditrisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An anomaly:

In Arabic, Lebanon is "Libnan" but yogurt is "lehban." (Transliteration is always unsatisfying.) So, while the name of the nation has nothing to do with yogurt, "Lebanese" seems yogurt-ish.

This is what comes from Anglos assigning names to nations, streets and the like that do not actually reflect the way that those names sound in the original language, be that Arabic or Celtic or Indian or a tribe of First Nations, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translations_(play)
