    Rolling on the floor laughing out loud at the RBT clowns being taken in by that conman Fauci.

    Lou was just telling us that he doesn't like Trump because CNN thinks he's a meany for cutting off their government subsidies given to them by the Democrats so that they would report only good things about Democrats. That's a lot more important to him
    than 13% of his relatives dead because of a poisonous vaccine

    Tommy, can you provide any proof of the excess Covid deaths that you
    keep going on about?

    I don't mean some idiot on you tube blathering on about something
    he/she/it really knows nothing about, but a proper scientific study by >competent people of actual confirmed deaths due to the vaccination.

    Mortality statistics tend to be a running tabulation of deaths, which
    is usually a few months behind on publication and likely to require
    continuous corrections. Lacking anything better, the WHO (world
    health organization) is the best I can offer.

    "Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)" <https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid>

    The problem is that excess death calculations rely on a dubious
    assumption, that deaths from all causes other than Covid-19 remain
    constant. That's hardly the case when the statistics gathering
    organizations either shut down between 2020 and the end of 2022,
    became heavily politicized, or faked their numbers to avoid a local
    panic. There were other factors, like the shutdown of many hospital
    services, which delayed many procedures. The lack of international
    standards on collecting Covid-19 related data doesn't help much. If
    you look at the graphs in the above URL, the lines between the upper
    and lower uncertainty bounds are huge. In other words, the "data" is
    really an estimate (or best guess).

    Here's the WHO graphs for just the USA: <https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-daily-economist-single-entity>
    95% uncertainty upper and 0% lower bounds are still widely separated.
    For the USA, that's current +/- 1,000 deaths per week.

    My guess is that you won't reply as there is no proof of excessive
    deaths, well except for your imagination which is neither scientific
    or competent.

    Well, since Tom's reply is likely to be politicized, perhaps a
    pre-emptive strike might be amusing:

    "Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in
    Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic" (July 24, 2023) <https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2807617>
    "In this cohort study evaluating 538,159 deaths in individuals aged 25
    years and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December
    2021, excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters
    than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all
    adults, but not before."

    Translation: Vaccines don't kill Republicans. It's the lack of
    vaccines that kill Republicans.

    But you are comparing Covid Deaths. Tom is talking about deaths due
    solely to having received a vaccination

    Sorry, I missed that. As I understand it, the author is disappointed
    that the Covid death rate failed to drop to the comparatively low
    levels of pre-pandemic (before Jan 2023) incidence. Note the title,
    which suggest uncertainty:
    "An analysis of excess mortality based on age and sex; the possible
    role of Covid-19, delayed care and vaccines" <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Herman-Steigstra/publication/375774174_An_analysis_of_excess_mortality_based_on_age_and_sex_the_possible_role_of_Covid-19_delayed_care_and_vaccines/links/655c7aecce88b87031fbc73a/An-analysis-of-excess-mortality-based-

    (12 pages). Note that CBS is "Statistics Netherlands": <https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb>

    I think the author answered his own question on Pg 4.
    "In this graph, as an example, we see the baseline calculated for 2020
    for both men and women. What is immediately striking is the sharp peak
    among 75-year-olds. This is a consequence of the baby boom, the birth
    wave in 1946 immediately after the Second World War."
    In other words, he discovered that more men had died during WWII than
    women, and that the baseline death rates are finally catching up with
    the baby boomers. In other words, if he can't win at football, just
    move the goal posts. Redefining the baseline death rates to fit his conclusions is the equivalent to moving the goal posts.

    Most his contentions are summarized in one sentence on Pg 9:
    "We see here clearly and unmistakably that there was more excess
    mortality in all the years in which vaccination was carried out than
    in the year without vaccination."
    This is the basis of the authors uncertain conclusion that Covid was
    gone by the end of 2022 which should have reduced the excess deaths,
    but didn't. Never mind various Covid variants, long Covid, creative
    fatality tracking, delayed medical care, and such, all of which
    persist to this day in some degree.

    Pg 9 again: "The risk of mortality is increasing every year, while
    there is hardly any corona anymore. There are obviously no complete
    annual figures for 2023 yet, but the figures so far paint a picture
    identical to 2022."
    In other words, he admits to guessing based on incomplete statistics
    and continues to adjust the baseline death rates to meet his
    expectations. I would have been happier if he had used the baseline
    numbers in the same manner as the WHO and other agencies, and then
    applied his assumptions. Instead, he first adjusts his baseline
    numbers to meet his expectations and then wonders why they still
    didn't produce his expected results. Also, this is for only one
    country and does not represent the situation in other countries.

    But what organization isn't interested in hiding their "short

    When someone says, "here is what I want you to believe," my response
    is, "what's in it for you?"

    One is either a skeptic or a moron.

    "Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)"
    <https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid>

    The problem is that excess death calculations rely on a dubious
    assumption, that deaths from all causes other than Covid-19 remain
    constant. That's hardly the case when the statistics gathering
    organizations either shut down between 2020 and the end of 2022,
    became heavily politicized, or faked their numbers to avoid a local
    panic. There were other factors, like the shutdown of many hospital
    services, which delayed many procedures. The lack of international
    standards on collecting Covid-19 related data doesn't help much. If
    you look at the graphs in the above URL, the lines between the upper
    and lower uncertainty bounds are huge. In other words, the "data" is
    really an estimate (or best guess).

    Here's the WHO graphs for just the USA:
    <https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-daily-economist-single-entity>
    95% uncertainty upper and 0% lower bounds are still widely separated. >> >>>>>For the USA, that's current +/- 1,000 deaths per week.

    My guess is that you won't reply as there is no proof of excessive

    Well, since Tom's reply is likely to be politicized, perhaps a
    pre-emptive strike might be amusing:

    "Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in >> >>>>>Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic" (July 24, 2023)

    Translation: Vaccines don't kill Republicans. It's the lack of

    But you are comparing Covid Deaths. Tom is talking about deaths due
    solely to having received a vaccination

    Sorry, I missed that. As I understand it, the author is disappointed
    that the Covid death rate failed to drop to the comparatively low
    levels of pre-pandemic (before Jan 2023) incidence. Note the title,
    which suggest uncertainty:

    (12 pages). Note that CBS is "Statistics Netherlands":
    <https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb>

    I think the author answered his own question on Pg 4.
    "In this graph, as an example, we see the baseline calculated for 2020
    for both men and women. What is immediately striking is the sharp peak
    among 75-year-olds. This is a consequence of the baby boom, the birth
    wave in 1946 immediately after the Second World War."
    In other words, he discovered that more men had died during WWII than
    women, and that the baseline death rates are finally catching up with
    the baby boomers. In other words, if he can't win at football, just
    move the goal posts. Redefining the baseline death rates to fit his
    conclusions is the equivalent to moving the goal posts.

    Most his contentions are summarized in one sentence on Pg 9:
    "We see here clearly and unmistakably that there was more excess
    mortality in all the years in which vaccination was carried out than
    in the year without vaccination."
    This is the basis of the authors uncertain conclusion that Covid was
    gone by the end of 2022 which should have reduced the excess deaths,
    but didn't. Never mind various Covid variants, long Covid, creative
    fatality tracking, delayed medical care, and such, all of which
    persist to this day in some degree.

    Pg 9 again: "The risk of mortality is increasing every year, while
    there is hardly any corona anymore. There are obviously no complete
    annual figures for 2023 yet, but the figures so far paint a picture
    identical to 2022."
    In other words, he admits to guessing based on incomplete statistics
    and continues to adjust the baseline death rates to meet his
    expectations. I would have been happier if he had used the baseline
    numbers in the same manner as the WHO and other agencies, and then
    applied his assumptions. Instead, he first adjusts his baseline
    numbers to meet his expectations and then wonders why they still
    didn't produce his expected results. Also, this is for only one
    country and does not represent the situation in other countries.

    Given the data came from the AMA, which is known to have a political
    agenda, I am reminded of the fact that studies can be munipulated to
    show what the people who fund the study want it to show.


    But what organization isn't interested in hiding their "short
    comings".
    Even the Boy Scouts.
    When someone says, "here is what I want you to believe," my response
    is, "what's in it for you?"

    One is either a skeptic or a moron.

    It's politically incorrect to be a skeptic in 2023. You're supposed to lie back and enjoy diversity stuffing you with misinformation. -- Andre Jute


    "Politically correct" is one of the more disgusting forms of group
    thinking and it's been around long before the term was coined. It was
    what the Civil War was fought over and political group thinking was
    written about in the Bible, and most emphatically in the Old
    Testament.

    "Lets all get together and decide on what we will believe," does not
    work for me.

    In another post he has Bidden bombing the Nord Stream gas pipeline,
    which from all I read is totally without any proof at all, although
    there are rumors that it was a Ukraine plot... carried out by a group
    from, Poland :-)



    You don't know that. Nor do I.

    A successful CIA or special services operation leaves hints
    to a different conclusion such as 'Polish agents'.

    What strikes me in this is that Slow Johnny, Liebermann, and Kreepy Krygowski aren't arguing with Mark Steyn's survey of studies around the world of excess mortality before, during and after COVID, as against the background of expected mortality in the
    aftermath of the Chinese virus, but simply take my post, and every other post, as another opportunity to try and bully Tom Kunich.

    That's correct for my contribution to your thread. I analyzed the
    source of Mark Styen's information and not his interpretation of what
    he preferred it to have said. If you can find my initial article in
    your thread, you too can read all about it. Of course, you can always
    endorse Mark Styen's interpretation and not bother reading the basis
    for his politicized comments. I found some difficulties with the
    original authors methodology, which did NOT include any politicized
    commentary such as "Chinese virus".

    As for "bully Tom Kunich", for my contribution, that's somewhat
    correct, except that it's not really bullying. I'm not hiding behind
    a fake name or persona. I'm doing my best to encourage Tom to cease
    producing and reproducing lies, distortions, and misinformation.
    Disclosing his lies, distortions, mistakes, misinformation, etc is the
    only way I know to do this. If you know of any other way to
    demonstrate to Tom that his audience does not appreciate being lied
    to, I would be interested.

    As for "taking your post", you seem to have failed to notice that ALL
    of your posts are immediately followed by Tom changing the topic or
    hijacking the thread in a direction that he's more comfortable
    discussing. For example, your current thread on:
    "...explains the Post-COVID excess deaths around the world"
    was immediately converted into a politicized discussion by Tom with
    his reply:
    "Lou was just telling us that he doesn't like Trump because CNN thinks
    he's a meany for cutting off their government subsidies..."
    Oddly, I haven't seen you complain about Tom hijacking your threads.

    Incidentally, while the Mark Styen article does mention "the world",
    the original source material is limited to only the Netherlands. It's mentioned in the initial Summary section: <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Herman-Steigstra/publication/375774174_An_analysis_of_excess_mortality_based_on_age_and_sex_the_possible_role_of_Covid-19_delayed_care_and_vaccines/links/655c7aecce88b87031fbc73a/An-analysis-of-excess-mortality-based-

    I guess everyone missed this minor detail in his article.

    Dr. John Campbell has been covering excess deaths for some time now.

    In this one he is using insurance actuarial date and our world in data. (They're in the references whatever the actual sites are).

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uOxhYyfYw4

    MP Andrew Bridgen in the UK was ejected from his party for talking about the excess deaths in that Kingdom but is still an MP and still talks about it.

    It seems to be one of the elephants in the room these days.

    I think it's very telling to read the comments on his (Campbell's)
    videos. While the problems people report post-vaccine are anecdotal, there sure are a *lot* of them.

    I'm also following Phillip McMillan of Vejon Health youtube site.

    I'm afraid that there will be more the the ongoing mRNA experient, sad to
    say.

    Hard medical studies showing that the government was either erasing or urging doctors not to file VAERS entries (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System)

    Got a link to some of these hard medical studies? I couldn't find
    any.

    Reminder. VAERS data is not intended to be used for demonstrating
    cause and effect:
    <https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html>
    "The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a
    vaccine caused the event."
    "A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified
    vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described."

    that showed that instead of the CDC oft quoted 2% adverse events
    that the ACTUAL number was 65%

    I couldn't find anything with Google search that claimed 65% adverse
    effects. If that were true, people who had been vaccinated would be
    dropping like flied.

    ...they are entirely unaware that for a vaccine to be considered
    "safe" it must have a VAERS rating of 0.01% and a preferred rating of
    0.001%.

    Amazing. I wasn't aware that a VAERS rating was required BEFORE a
    vaccine could be considered safe. That's really amazing because a
    virus is not suppose to be generically available until AFTER it has
    been tested and declared safe. It would be difficult to file a VAERS
    report for a vaccine prior to it being declared safe for general
    consumption. Got a source for those amazing numbers. "preferred
    rating" for being safe seems rather odd.

    So by the CDC's OWN RULES a VAERS rating of 2% would have been
    unreleasable and the vaccine companies REGARDLESS of emergency
    authorization held accountable for what would be considered a
    public health threat.

    As before, I can't seem to find anything under "VAERS approval" or
    "VAERS rating". VAERS is a crowd sourced database of complaints
    resulting from various vaccines. It's not a testing lab. <https://vaers.hhs.gov/about.html>
    Please show me where it has become a drug safety rating system.

    Even though it is a FACT

    I usually use a line like that to warn me that what follows is
    unlikely to be a fact.

    that all of the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis (which in adults
    may or may not resolve - that is it may or may not cause permanent
    heart damage)

    There has been some conjecture that there is a connection. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10216497/>
    "Myocarditis rates in people aged 12 to 39 years are around 12.6 cases
    per million doses following the second dose of mRNA vaccination."
    Doesn't seem like much of a risk.

    the CDC is STILL recommending that the mRNA vaccines which are
    now forbidden in most of the world, should be used on all people
    including children down to 6 months which will cause permanent
    heart damage to children almost certainly.

    Not really. Here's what really is happening:
    "FDA Takes Action on Updated mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines to Better Protect
    Against Currently Circulating Variants" <https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-action-updated-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-better-protect-against-currently-circulating>
    Basically, the mRNA vaccines were updated for the latest variants and
    the older mRNA vaccines were designated as obsolete or something like
    that.

    But wait a minute,

    I waited a minute, but nothing happened.

    the Stupid 3 only believe the CDC and not large studies by the most
    important medical universities in the world.

    Got an example of these large studies?

    An emergency authorization for a shortened testing period MAY NOT be
    issued unless there are not safe alternative methods available.
    So Fauci claimed that there were no alternative means of treatment
    when in fact there were several drugs that were VERY effective using >off-label (that means using a drug for any other reason than it was
    initially developed to treat) drugs. Fauci lied and people died.

    Are you referring to drinking bleach or injecting disinfectant?
    "Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment" <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177>

    You wrote "...no alternative means of treatment". Please note that
    there's a difference between treatment, which occurs after an
    infection, and vaccination which is intended to prevent an infection.
    Please try not to get these two terms confused. Paxlovid and Lagevrio

    Hard medical studies showing that the government was either erasing or urging doctors not to file VAERS entries (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System)

    Got a link to some of these hard medical studies? I couldn't find
    any.

    Reminder. VAERS data is not intended to be used for demonstrating
    cause and effect:
    <https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html>
    "The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a
    vaccine caused the event."
    "A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified
    vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described."

    that showed that instead of the CDC oft quoted 2% adverse events
    that the ACTUAL number was 65%

    I couldn't find anything with Google search that claimed 65% adverse
    effects. If that were true, people who had been vaccinated would be
    dropping like flied.

    ...they are entirely unaware that for a vaccine to be considered
    "safe" it must have a VAERS rating of 0.01% and a preferred rating of
    0.001%.

    Amazing. I wasn't aware that a VAERS rating was required BEFORE a
    vaccine could be considered safe. That's really amazing because a
    virus is not suppose to be generically available until AFTER it has
    been tested and declared safe. It would be difficult to file a VAERS
    report for a vaccine prior to it being declared safe for general
    consumption. Got a source for those amazing numbers. "preferred
    rating" for being safe seems rather odd.

    So by the CDC's OWN RULES a VAERS rating of 2% would have been
    unreleasable and the vaccine companies REGARDLESS of emergency
    authorization held accountable for what would be considered a
    public health threat.

    As before, I can't seem to find anything under "VAERS approval" or
    "VAERS rating". VAERS is a crowd sourced database of complaints
    resulting from various vaccines. It's not a testing lab. <https://vaers.hhs.gov/about.html>
    Please show me where it has become a drug safety rating system.

    Even though it is a FACT

    I usually use a line like that to warn me that what follows is
    unlikely to be a fact.

    that all of the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis (which in adults
    may or may not resolve - that is it may or may not cause permanent
    heart damage)

    There has been some conjecture that there is a connection. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10216497/>
    "Myocarditis rates in people aged 12 to 39 years are around 12.6 cases
    per million doses following the second dose of mRNA vaccination."
    Doesn't seem like much of a risk.

    the CDC is STILL recommending that the mRNA vaccines which are
    now forbidden in most of the world, should be used on all people
    including children down to 6 months which will cause permanent
    heart damage to children almost certainly.

    Not really. Here's what really is happening:
    "FDA Takes Action on Updated mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines to Better Protect
    Against Currently Circulating Variants" <https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-action-updated-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-better-protect-against-currently-circulating>
    Basically, the mRNA vaccines were updated for the latest variants and
    the older mRNA vaccines were designated as obsolete or something like
    that.

    But wait a minute,

    I waited a minute, but nothing happened.

    the Stupid 3 only believe the CDC and not large studies by the most
    important medical universities in the world.

    Got an example of these large studies?

    An emergency authorization for a shortened testing period MAY NOT be
    issued unless there are not safe alternative methods available.
    So Fauci claimed that there were no alternative means of treatment
    when in fact there were several drugs that were VERY effective using
    off-label (that means using a drug for any other reason than it was
    initially developed to treat) drugs. Fauci lied and people died.

    Are you referring to drinking bleach or injecting disinfectant?
    "Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment" <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177>

    You wrote "...no alternative means of treatment". Please note that
    there's a difference between treatment, which occurs after an
    infection, and vaccination which is intended to prevent an infection.
    Please try not to get these two terms confused. Paxlovid and Lagevrio
    are currently the best post infection treatments, while the mRNA based vaccines are currently the best method of prevention.



    I heard that press conference live. Mr Trump said no such
    thing.

    The 'bleach' quip was by a TeeVee comedian later that day
    and just as Gerald Ford, a graceful accomplished athlete,
    skier, dancer was pegged as 'clumsy' by a comedian, the
    label outlived the truth.

    Well, since Tom's reply is likely to be politicized, perhaps a
    pre-emptive strike might be amusing:

    "Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in >>>>>> Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic" (July 24, 2023)
    <https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2807617>

    Translation: Vaccines don't kill Republicans. It's the lack of
    vaccines that kill Republicans.

    But you are comparing Covid Deaths. Tom is talking about deaths due
    solely to having received a vaccination

    Sorry, I missed that. As I understand it, the author is disappointed
    that the Covid death rate failed to drop to the comparatively low
    levels of pre-pandemic (before Jan 2023) incidence. Note the title,
    which suggest uncertainty:
    "An analysis of excess mortality based on age and sex; the possible
    role of Covid-19, delayed care and vaccines"
    <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Herman-Steigstra/publication/375774174_An_analysis_of_excess_mortality_based_on_age_and_sex_the_possible_role_of_Covid-19_delayed_care_and_vaccines/links/655c7aecce88b87031fbc73a/An-analysis-of-excess-mortality-

    (12 pages). Note that CBS is "Statistics Netherlands":
    <https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb>

    I think the author answered his own question on Pg 4.
    "In this graph, as an example, we see the baseline calculated for 2020 >>>> for both men and women. What is immediately striking is the sharp peak >>>> among 75-year-olds. This is a consequence of the baby boom, the birth
    wave in 1946 immediately after the Second World War."
    In other words, he discovered that more men had died during WWII than
    women, and that the baseline death rates are finally catching up with
    the baby boomers. In other words, if he can't win at football, just
    move the goal posts. Redefining the baseline death rates to fit his
    conclusions is the equivalent to moving the goal posts.

    Most his contentions are summarized in one sentence on Pg 9:
    "We see here clearly and unmistakably that there was more excess
    mortality in all the years in which vaccination was carried out than
    in the year without vaccination."
    This is the basis of the authors uncertain conclusion that Covid was
    gone by the end of 2022 which should have reduced the excess deaths,
    but didn't. Never mind various Covid variants, long Covid, creative
    fatality tracking, delayed medical care, and such, all of which
    persist to this day in some degree.

    Pg 9 again: "The risk of mortality is increasing every year, while
    there is hardly any corona anymore. There are obviously no complete
    annual figures for 2023 yet, but the figures so far paint a picture
    identical to 2022."
    In other words, he admits to guessing based on incomplete statistics
    and continues to adjust the baseline death rates to meet his
    expectations. I would have been happier if he had used the baseline
    numbers in the same manner as the WHO and other agencies, and then
    applied his assumptions. Instead, he first adjusts his baseline
    numbers to meet his expectations and then wonders why they still
    didn't produce his expected results. Also, this is for only one
    country and does not represent the situation in other countries.

    For Tom it doesn't matter whether it's the fox or the rabbit, Tommy is
    faster then either.

    In another post he has Bidden bombing the Nord Stream gas pipeline,
    which from all I read is totally without any proof at all, although
    there are rumors that it was a Ukraine plot... carried out by a group
    from, Poland :-)



    You don't know that. Nor do I.

    A successful CIA or special services operation leaves hints
    to a different conclusion such as 'Polish agents'.

    I don't know what? That there is, apparently, no proof who did it? Or
    that there is rumors that the Ukrainian did it?

    As for CIA operations leaving hints, I don't think so, at least not in
    many cases. The bombing of Indonesia, for example, the pilot that they
    caught was deliberately carrying identification in spite of orders NOT
    to do so. The U2 flights over Russia and Cuba? The Air America flights
    over Vietnam and Laos?

    Certainly the aircraft were Sterilized" so that the U.S. could
    officially deny they the were the culprits but nothing was done to
    imply that somebody else did the deed.

    Pulling crazy shit and then arranging the blame to fall on someone else
    is absolutely SOP for intelligence services. See for instance
    "Operation Gladio".

    You lie, as usual. I didn't write 12 feet thick. I originally
    estimated that the road paved to your specifications would be 27
    inches thick when repaved every 5 years during the last 90 years. <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/DF_BqYDEKTM/m/GrhhddLnAQAJ> Since there are no roads that are 27 inches thick, I can safely assume
    your 5 year repaving interval is not common practice.

    The repaved every 5 years is YOUR invention, not mine: <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/DF_BqYDEKTM/m/U0sJ-XGhAQAJ> "Under normal use, asphalt should be replaced every five years."

    I later decided that you didn't know how to recognize the humor of the situation so I posted a more realistic figure: <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/DF_BqYDEKTM/m/WEtX_FLYAAAJ> "If the roads were repaved at the generally acceptable 25 year
    interval with a 1.5" overlay, then in the past 90 years, the roads
    would be:
    90 / 25 * 1.5 = 5.4 in thick."

    Incidentally, did you ever take or find a photo of the giant mud hole
    at the base of Cull Canyon? You provided me with an entertaining but
    confused description: <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/jTjI6zDRmPo/m/-4PtIC3DAAAJ> but I still don't see a lat-long location or any photos.

    Maybe you can use Chat GPT 3 or 4 to created an AI version of the
    mysterious bicycle obstructing mud hole on Cull Canyon? Start here: <https://chat.openai.com/auth/login>
    It's probably easier than using Photoshop to fake a suitable mud hole
    using one of these:
    <https://www.google.com/search?q=mud+hole&tbm=isch> <https://stock.adobe.com/search/images?k=mud+hole>
    9,746 images of a mud hole. Don't forget to edit the EXIF location
    information so that it looks like a photo instead of faked image.

    Perhaps if you locate your fake hole next to some of the melted
    asphalt scorch marks you found on Cull Canyon Rd which you claim were
    caused by EV (electric vehicle) fires and meltdowns?

    I heard that press conference live. Mr Trump said no such

    From the BBC article I cited, Pres Trump was very careful to suggest
    that such Covid-19 cures should be studied.
    "While noting the research should be treated with caution, Mr Trump
    suggested further research in that area."
    He then "suggested" to his advisors to look into other such remedies.
    I'm probably reading between the lines hear, but it sounds like a

    Don't you find it curious that moron Liebermann doesn't know that the vaccine at BEST appeared to protect against Covid-19 for 30 days. It most certainly did NOT prevent your from spreading it and after 30 days you caught Covid anyway. What's more, if
    you took the series, the Yale Study showed that 65% of people had serious side effects. I suppose when you're like Liebermann you absolutely must be an apologist for Fauci and Big Pharma,. He has to show that he is intelligent by agreeing with Fauci.

    What Yale study? I seem to recall you mentioned that recently: <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/_0tCOqDKs_o/m/qUehg2IQAAAJ> which provides a link to the study at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JblPugmoTBw&t=1090s>
    Oh, DrBeen who bases his rant on a "preprint".
    "New Yale Study: Vaccine Injured Are Highly Symptomatic with Poor

    post-vaccine injured patients the researchers from Yale have gathered
    and analyzed the kind of symptoms, intensity of symptoms, demography,
    treatment options, and the psychological status of such patients.
    Let's review."

    Nice, but there's no link to the original Yale study. A little digging excavated a link to the (preprint) report:
    "Post-Vaccination Syndrome: A Descriptive Analysis of Reported
    Symptoms and Patient Experiences After Covid-19 Immunization" <https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.09.23298266v1>
    which then points to the report at: <https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.09.23298266v1.full.pdf> "Introduction: A chronic post-vaccination syndrome (PVS) after
    Covid-19 vaccination has been reported but has yet to be well
    characterized."

    Amazing. They found a problem after vaccination but can't clearly
    define (characterize) the problem. Seems a bit vague.

    "NOTE: This preprint reports new research that has not been certified
    by peer review and should not be used to guide clinical practice."
    Only 241 people in the test sample with no controls. No thanks.

    I'm still remembering that guy yesterday telling me that Liebermann claims that I am trying to destroy his reputation. That is the funniest thing yet. If I destroyed his reputation he would actually look better.

    Nope. Attempting to ruin my reputation has no effect on what's left
    of your reputation. I could be evil incarnate but you will remain Tom
    Kunich, the incompetent liar.

    Do you suppose he is still telling people that he had radiation treatments and they don't effect his immune system?

    Not at the dosage that was used. Larger doses can be rather nasty. I
    don't have the numbers handy but I think it was about 70 Gy (Grays).
    1 Gy = 1 Joule/kilogram = 100 rad
    There were some side effects, but nothing involving the immune system.
    Anyway, feel free to coninue trying. I'm not worried because nobody
    believes you.

    You don't know that. Nor do I.

    A successful CIA or special services operation leaves hints
    to a different conclusion such as 'Polish agents'.

    I don't know what? That there is, apparently, no proof who did it? Or
    that there is rumors that the Ukrainian did it?

    As for CIA operations leaving hints, I don't think so, at least not in
    many cases. The bombing of Indonesia, for example, the pilot that they
    caught was deliberately carrying identification in spite of orders NOT
    to do so. The U2 flights over Russia and Cuba? The Air America flights
    over Vietnam and Laos?

    Certainly the aircraft were Sterilized" so that the U.S. could
    officially deny they the were the culprits but nothing was done to
    imply that somebody else did the deed.

    Pulling crazy shit and then arranging the blame to fall on someone else
    is absolutely SOP for intelligence services. See for instance
    "Operation Gladio".

    If I'm not mistaken "Operation Gladio" was intended to form secret
    "stay behind" units in Soviet dominated areas, not to cause blame to
    fall on someone else. Rather like the support G.B. gave to many "Under Ground" (often Communist) groups in German occupied Europe.

    Almost. It was intended to form secret "stay behind" units in areas
    that *might* have become Soviet dominated, eg Italy. In the event the
    Soviets did not arrive. It seems almost certain that the various Western intelligence operatives participating in operation Gladio bombed some
    folks, killed some carabinieri, and did other false flag terrorist acts
    in order to blame the Italian communists.

    Donald Segretti, the lawyer who seemed to be in charge of Nixon's

    questions. He was living on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor condo on the
    border between Marina Del Rey and Venice Beach. From across the
    swamp, I watched various groups, in law enforcement style uniforms, meticulously searching the top and bottom floors, while ignoring the
    2nd floor. I also watched as something being raised and lowered
    between the 1st and 2nd floors with a rope. No clue what it might
    have been. Later, the newspapers mumbled that Donald Segretti was
    nowhere to be found.

    Thanks and that's good to know. Unfortunately, most of the major
    printed news media has disappeared from the vending boxes in front of
    markets, stores and offices in my area. What's left are the locals.
    That doesn't matter as I prefer to read my news online. Let's see if
    there's any mention in the competition:

    Nothing here (yet) as of noon PST, Dec 13, 2023.

    We will need to wait a while for comments from Russia. My guess(tm)
    is that 90% casualty rate is much too high to be realistic and that
    Russia has far more than 360,000 personnel available from a total
    Russian military of 2.2 million. Russia is also continuing to provide replacements giving some credibility to the 315,000 loss figure:
    "Russia boosts size of armed forces by 170,000 troops" <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/2/russia-to-boost-size-of-armed-forces-by-170000-troops>
    Notice that the article claims that Russia now has 1.3 million troops
    involved in the war. Someone is lying about the numbers but I don't
    know who (yet).

    Who are you to tell everyone what they know?

    Russia now controls 85% of the Ukraine because all of the Russians are dead, >killed by Ukrainians that have to hire mercenaries to fight for them.

    Mercenaries have been involved in the war since 2014.

    "Foreign fighters in the Russo-Ukrainian War" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_fighters_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War>

    The largest number claimed was 20,000 volunteers for the International

    However, the NY Times claimed that there were only 1,500 volunteers in
    Mar 2023. The number involved are the proverbial drop in the bucket.

    Thanks. Al Jazeera is allegedly "neutral" but does tend to favor the
    leftist point of view.
    <https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/al-jazeera/>
    WSJ puts it on the front page, while Al Jazeera
    buries among the bullet points. Maybe Al Jazeera will provide better

    Looking at U.S. figures and depending on how you do your calculations
    about 35% of the U.S. Army are actual "Combat Forces".

    If the Russians have an air forces then the numbers get even more

    Flunky,the UKRANIANS starte4d this war and Putin warned them for 6 months to stop murdering Russian Nationals who hsd legally bought farms in the Ukraine! Are you so fuckintg stupid that your remory doesn't go back just SEVEN years?


    Therefore they have to lie about the capabilities of the the Russian Army. The pure unadulterated lying about the Russian army is rife throughout the Slime Stream Media.

    Yet you can offer no support for your claims to the contrary.

    Russia controls 80% of the Ukraine

    No, they don't, you fucking moron. Here's a good primer on the timeline of the occupation.


    Are you so slow that you couldn't read Andrew's Ukrainian map?

    Since we know you have an aversion to looking at anything that uses actual words (despite the ludicrous claim of reading out three libraries), here a graphic that appears about 3/4 down the article:

    , The Ukrainians of military age have LEFT the Ukraine for the US open borders.

    Most reports say the US has accepted a bit over a 250K refugees since the start of the war. This is out of a bit over 8 million in total.

    So the only people that oppose the Russians are mercenaries who are very expensive and YOU are paying them to so nothing more than hold the final 20% of the Ukraine.

    Oh, you mean like these guys?

    Flunky believes ABC - the same people that claim that we're zall going to die from climate change. The same people that told us that the Covid-19 vaccines are "safe and effective". The same people who have quoted many times "fact checkers" who do
    nothing but mimic the Administration. On a good day you have problems spelling. No wonder you have problems thinking that someone else can read.

    Yup, his map showed nothing of the kind.

    tommy dumbass swallows every bit of OANN jism spurted in his general
    direction

    the same people that claim that we're zall going to die from climate change.

    More spooge you swallowed from watching OANN - no one ever said that.

    The same people that told us that the Covid-19 vaccines are "safe and effective".

    “Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get
    (Covid), it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine,” - Donald trump interview with Candace Owen, December 2021

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/23/politics/trump-vaccine-covid-effectiveness/index.html

    The same people who have quoted many times "fact checkers" who do nothing but mimic the Administration.

    oh, you mean like this?

    lol. In this message, you wrote hsd, fuckintg, remory, and zall. Sure
    sparky, go ahead and use the excuse these were just typos - still
    doesn't explain why you didn't catch it. Care to point out any spelling mistakes I've made?

    You've been a useless arrogant asshole your entire life. We had a few
    weeks of peace here while we all secretly hoped you were dead, but
    instead you had to come back and immediately prove your worth - making
    stupid, ignorant, and demonstrably false posts in a forum that supposed
    to dedicated to cycling.

    You wrote once a little while ago that with people like me and frank
    gone, this group would get back to posts about cycling. Well, gee. You
    were gone for a few weeks, and what did we get? nothing but posts about cycling.

    You're an idiot, a liar, and the sole reason people don't want to visit
    this forum.

    Go back to being dead.
