Schandenfreude Thursday, But I'm Not Laughing

And It Gets Worse

Don Surber got the ball rolling at the very end of his Highlights of the News this morning when he observed trenchantly:

"Washington knew in 1987 that Biden is not up to the job.

"Nevertheless, Washington put him in office in 2021."

The wording is significant. He didn’t say “the Dems”. He said “Washington,” and we all know there are Republicans in Washington, too. The meaning is clear. The installation of Zhou to front for an illegitimate regime was a put-up job by the Ruling Class, the Power Elite. 

And Surber was just getting warmed up. He has an excellent post up that gets into the whole schadenfreude theme. He’s clearly having some fun—here’s how it starts:

Biden has NYT praising Trump

WARNING TO HEART PATIENTS!

The following post contains praise of President Donald John Trump from a New York Times columnist. People with heart conditions are urged to consult their physicians before reading further.

The New York Times seems stressed these days. The election of Biden as president has failed to usher in a reign of 1,000 years by the left. We are not through his first year yet, and it feels like the final legs of a second term when the opposition controls Congress and all you appointees are mailing out resumes.

Surber goes on to have some more fun slapping the usual NYT Never Trump suspects around: Edsall, Stephens, Krugman—they all come in for some rough treatment. And deservedly administered. Because, as Surber observes in his conclusion, they won’t be getting what they truly deserve anyway:

There are only two trades where you can be wrong all the time and still keep your job: economics professor and newspaper columnist.

Krugman is both. Biden is neither. NYT may not be bailing on Biden, but it sure is sending a strong warning to him.

Dunno about Zhou losing his job prematurely, but watching the sharks circling Kama Sutra is delicious fun.

But mention of Zhou and his job tenure brings us to the next item, which is more somber in tone:

That ‘Joe Biden Scraps Press Conference’ Story Just Got a Whole Lot Worse

Basically what this article is about is the total irregularity of the Zhou regime, in which Zhou is shielded from the media—to the extent of canceling Zhou’s participation in what had become a traditional press conference with our two neighbors’ heads of government: Canada and Mexico:

in the span of 24 hours on Tuesday, Biden made three separate and distinct blunders that his staffers had to scramble to clean up after the fact. As a result, the traditional, scheduled Thursday presser with world leaders was canceled, presumably to avoid repeat performances.

Which goes back to Surber’s observation: The Ruling Class knew Zhou would only be a figurehead. Now he’s turned out to be the same laughingstock that he has been for decades. The difference is that the entire nation and the world is taking note this time around. Our rulers thought they could get away with the put-up job of a faux Election 2020 by simply using Zhou as a frontman for a behind the scenes regime, but it’s increasingly angering their subjects.

Now, here’s where it gets even worse. 

Recall the morning’s first post: 

What Are They Hiding?

We Won't Know Until We Know

FDA Asks Federal Judge to Grant it Until the Year 2076 to Fully Release Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Data

Just peruse these story lines, all going back to Zerohedge:

Days Into Lockdown For The Unvaccinated, Austria COVID Cases Hit Record High

Germany Preparing To Impose Austria-Style Lockdown On The Unvaxx'd

93%-Vaccinated Ireland Has Gone Back Into 'Partial Lockdown', Including Midnight Curfew

The Power Elite is starting to panic, it seems. Anyone with an ounce of sense understands from this—and much more from around the world—that the experimental injections just aren’t working. In fact, they appear to be making things worse. So the rulers turn to a traditional tool: scapegoating. Sadly, to some extent it appears to be working, although we’ll have to see:

Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ

🇬🇧 58% of Brits would support an Austria style lockdown of the unvaccinated, rising to 63% among Conservatives & 72% for pensioners

Karl Denninger, who does have an ounce of sense, addresses all that and more today:

And Now, The Bad News

First KD reviews the bad news—it’s all basically similar to what I’ve reviewed above, but more extensive. But then he moves on to what he and others have been suggesting could prove to be the really bad news. I’ll excerpt just a bit of it:

Here's the basic problem that the data has disclosed: The jab immunity is not only worthless over time it may be harmful.  If the developing data I'm tracking proves up (it hasn't yet) the booster will wane at roughly double the speed of the originals.  This is catastrophically bad because the antibody titers produced by boosting is higher than after the original second dose and thus given any sort of fall-off curve should last longer than the original two doses -- but it does not.

This strongly implies that the jabs are inhibiting some other part of immune response.  Remember that antibodies alone are insufficient; while they can inhibit protein activity by themselves there are myriad other components of the immune system, such as cytotoxic T-cells, that are essential to protection.  The complement portions of the immune system is essential to prevent infection in the first place and links the innate and adaptive immune responses.

Leaving aside the direct toxic effects of the jabs (e.g. clotting-disorder and inflammatory related disease, such as myocarditis, thrombosis, embolisms, strokes and similar) suppression of portions of the immune system, which is strongly suggested by the data currently available, is especially nasty.  That impact may be permanent and in any event it is almost-certainly not Covid-19 specific.  We do not know and if that impact is permanent the disease and death that will be potentiated by this jab campaign will dwarf anything Covid could have ever dished up.

I will once again remind you that no coronavirus has ever been successfully vaccinated against in the past.  We have tried repeatedly and have never succeeded in producing durable protection in either man or beast.

The mere fact that arguments such as the above can be advanced by rational and knowledgeable people should alarm all of us. KD isn’t a scientist, but he is knowledgeable and he’s not going anywhere that acknowledged experts in this field haven’t gone already.

Now, what about the argument that we should trust our rulers, who should, after all, have our best interests at heart. And Little Tony—he’s been in his position for lo! these forty years or whatever. Surely he’s learned something in that time? KD has that argument covered, too, because these are the people who are giving you Remdesivir:

If you think ignoring the data on the vaccines is bad you really ought to pay attention to Remdesivir, which I've pointed out repeatedly. That we continually ignore the renal toxicity of this drug and are still using it on damn near every hospitalized Covid-19 patient is outrageous.  Indeed, I'm willing to bet at least half of those who died in a hospital "of Covid" after receiving it, if autopsied, would show severe damage caused by the drug and supporting renal failure or liver impairment as the primary cause of death. 

In other words I'll lay a wager we doubled the death rate for Covid-19 among hospitalized patients by using the drug.

…

May I remind you that of the original "study" on this drug had nearly a quarter of those who were given it report severe adverse events, all of which were potentially life-threatening?

Nor is this some "unique" finding; as I pointed out we knew damn well this drug was wildly dangerous up front because it was tried for both Hepatitis C and Ebola and failed both times on safety.  The Ebola trial was especially nasty in that randomization to people in that treatment arm was stopped mid-study due to serious adverse events!  This for a disease that is extremely deadly on its own.

Note that the odds ratio of Covid-19 causing renal failure itself is approximately 1/20th of that of Remdesivir!  Of course we're not doing autopsies on those people -- on purpose.

These ghouls are perfectly happy to slaughter people with Covid using a dangerous drug that has repeatedly failed on safety, even when attempted in a disease that is wildly more-dangerous than Covid (about 50% of the time with Ebola you die) and thus would justify using fairly-dangerous interventions in the first place.

…  Yet it was immediately turned into and remains the "standard of care" if you go into the hospital with this virus.

Well, let’s see what Friday brings. The Ruling Class is a bunch of bunglers, so I doubt it will bring anything good from them.
