Hodge Podge post. Prime numbers, Liberalism and its self delusions. Among other things.

I donh't want to make a full post out of this, it's more of a whimsy than anything else, so I'm going to start out this post with a brief reflection on Prime Numbers. I really don't know what people find interesting about primne numbers but aapparently there are people who do. Nerdy match types must. And for all I kbnow I don't even rally appreciate the concept and will just say something foolish about it anyway. But here's my whimsical pondering.

There's probably a nice orderliness to the concept that I'll never grasp and maybe that's what the nerdy types appreciate. I merely thought about it far enough to ralize that it's easy to eliminate some numbers as prime numbers which ought to make it easier than some seem to think to identify the prime numbers. That is:

ALL NUMBERS that end in five are NOT prime numbers. They can all be divided by five. ALL NUMBERS that end in an even number, that is, 2 4, 6, 8, o4 0, are not prime numbers because all of them can be divided at least by 2. The remaining numbers are the four odd numbers 1, 3, 7 and 9. Some numbers that end in these are prime, some are not. 21 is divisible by 3 and 7 so it's not prime. 81 is divisible by 3, 7 and 9 so it's not prime, bu all the other numbers between one and a humber that end it 1 are prime numbers.

I'suspect if you fool around with these things enough you'll start to see some interesting patterns but althjough in certain moods I do such things I don't think I will with this one. I've alwasys considered myself to be a math dunce anyway, but maybe I was just not taught right. But I do like finding patterns and solving some kinds of logic puzzles. Anyway, people who are trying to figure out what's a prime number and what isn't may find this little pondering useful. Or not.

that alsmost was a whole post. Hm. OK, so here's another little conundrum I've been pondering.

Since some people have been getting COVID twice I've heard some say that even natural immunity isn't protective against it, which we thought it was. But what they are talking about is those who are vaccinated and get COVID twice. I haven't heard anyone who is unvaccinated getting it twice, and if that's happened then what I'm thinking here is wrong. The point is that being vaccinated itself is in some sense WHY you get COVID twice. From "shedding" or from being the host of a mutant just because you have the genetic stuff in you that can mutate? I'm not sure how this works but if it's OBNLY the vaccinated who are getting COVID more than once it seems to be about being vaccinated. They don't get natural immunity from having the virus because of something having to do with their being vaccinated. BUT this may not be true of the unvaccinated who should have natural immunity from having the virus. At least this should bew a question. It's not that natural immunity isn't a protection, it's that the vaccinated are somehow prevented from reaching natural immunity.



Well, here's another then. Some liberals think that the ACLU used to be a necessary and useful organization. Well, the3y did take cases from both sides of the aislle. Clever of them. Great camouflage. But as I recall the ACLU was a Commujist front from the beginning. Yeah I'll have to review it all to rmind myself about it, sorry. Liberals also have some fu y ideas about what liberalism has done for the country. Even attributing the founding documents to liberalism. Well in a sense I guess you could say that but it does ten to muddy up the meaning of the word and certainly makes it hard to make sense of why liberalism is such an antiAmerican position these days. Maybe you have to put it together with Democratic Party, undemocratic to be sure but oh well. Then maybe you can see that it was the Democrats/Liberals who opposed the civil rights such starry eyed liberals impute to them. It was ofcourse the Democrats who flew the Confederate flag too, and the Republicans who chamo]pioined abolition and emancipation of slaves. Liberals of today's stripe were the leaders of the French Revolution and certainly had nothing to do with the American Revolution.
And such starry eyed types never ever get it right about conservatives either.; Like the word "progressive" they get hung up on the literal meaning of the word and put their own content to it. THERE'S NOTHING PROGRESSIVE ABOUT THE pROGRESSIVES. tHE WORD WAS INVENTED BY cOMMUNISTS TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THEY are communists. Back in the early part of thee last century. I think it was probably David Horoqitze who clued me in on that fact. The onjly "progress" that's been made by that side of the politi8cal divide is progressive destruction of our Constititioual Republic.

There's a LOT to say about all that, sorry to have to leave it midthought but I'm getting tired writing this and have to stop for now. If I let it sit I'll hneer get back to it. Maybe i can say more in another post.
Oh phooe

Call to Support the Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy

I don't know how much is caused by my bad eyes but thre does seem to be some interference from what might be called gremlines too, liberal gremlines I suppose.  Anyway things are out of order in this post and I've already worn myself out trying to correct things so I give up.  I think it's mostlyh decipherable.

UPDATE:  Here's another representative of the convoy from Wednesday:

How on earth did the free West come to this?  It remains the mystery of the day.    Peacefully protesting truckers vilified by the press in what has become the standard leftist method.    How can there be so much energy behind this obvious atack on innocent fellow citizens?  Yes it's Marxism, but why are so many people so willing to go along with it>

Here's a video of some representatives of the Freedom Convoy of Canadian truckers in ottowa.   The speaker is saying there's a rumor that the police are going to try to corner them and arrest them, which would shut down all their communications with the outside, so he's asking that if that happens that many others would consider coming to join them in their peaceful protest and give support.

The Power of Character Assassination: Leftist Lies Are Prison Bars -- Confiining Anyone on the Wrong Side of the Narative About COVID or anything else

UPDATE: Had to make a correction which I've put at the bottom of the post

It's hard to know how to write about the truckers' protest in Ottowa. The politics of the situation isn't new, it's the same conflict between innocent ordinary people, many of them conservatives though not all of them, and the Leftist power elite who lie and lie and lie and lie and lie about them. I guess it's because it's such a large gathering of dissidents one might expect the narrative to crack and break but since it doesn't seem to make a difference to that narrative, it just goes on lying and lying and lying and lying, any hope the numbers generated becomes hard to maintain.

I can always join the general lamentfrom the conservative side but what I'm getting at here is that something about this situation shows the futility of it beyond the usual. World powers can imose their lying propaganda even on a great mass of people who are acting within what used to be understood to be protected avenues of protest in the western world. They seem to wield their power by lies, first, and by money, meaning among other things by threats against the livelihood of anyone who opposes them.

But start with the lies. Listening to the walkaway videos which were the topic of the previous post the major theme emerges right away how the people were held captive by propaganda. Both Brandon Straka and Georgia H describe a psychoogical state of fear of raising the slightest question against the "liberal" party line they had grown up with. They beleived it completely but wherever a moment's doubt crossed their mind it had to be squelched out of fear of being a "bad person" so that the narrative was maintained by such squelchigs wherever a tiny crack in it emerged.

Both Brandon S and Georgia H describe beliving that conservatives are just very very bad people. People with bad motives, greedy selfish people. who want to harm others. Even if they sort of don't really believe they are that bad their isolation from any rational discussion about the different points of view keeps them from opportunities to come to a different opinion.

It's not about ideas at all, it's all about bad people. Some time ago David Horowitc described the Left as moralistic preachers who conndemn their oppponents as human beings. That's not how Horowitz said it but the point is that they attack people rather than ideas. Conservatives are people who want to control a woman's body, they are people who want to keep minorities from succeeding in society, they are people who want to keep the poor poor while they themselves get rich. They are people who don't care about other people. Thre isn't a single idea in the whole miserable propagandistic scenario they inhabit.

The propaganda works. The truckers in Ottowa are just evil people who are selfisholy interfering with the wellbeing of other Canadians. Once you've got a defintiion of a group as evil you can justify all sorts of violations of the usual rights. You can justify any sort of interference with their protest if you call them "white supremacists" or some such. There isn't a shred of a hint of anything like white supremacy in the group but if you say there is you can sway putblic opinion and justify silencing them in whatever ways governments have of dealing with criminals. They've stopped being ordinary citizens protesting a government overreach and become criminals through propaganda.

The walkaway people are people who finally saw through this, but it was a struggle in all cases to set themselves free from the propaganda that had a stranglehold on them that it continues to have on all those from the same background who haven't see through it.

I think it's the numbers that are making it all seem so hopeless. Even if another million of us joined with the truckers there is a power in the propaganda that can marginalize all of us. They've succeeded in branding us as white supremacists in the minds of most on the left, and even though there are as manyh of us or more than there are of them the propaganda succeeds in making us the marginalized ones. Thousands of truckers don't shut them up, it's the truckers who are getting branded when it should be the govewrnment tyrants. Millions of conservatives are "deplorables," as well as white supremaciists, racists and so on. What they did to Trump with their lies they do to the millions of us on his side. Millions. That's the point of this, millions.

The Whoopi Goldbert incident just came to mind. I've heard an awful lot of people on both sides of the political aisle condeming her and very very few taking her side. Po9litically I certainly don't agree with her about much but I keep wanting to defend her on this issue. What they are doing to her is what the left always does to people who one way or another trip over their crazy ideas of what makes good people and bad people. As usual it's all about people not ideas. you can't merely make a mistake, you ecome a bad person. Whooopi becomes an antisemite because of her ignorance of the historical facts about Hitler and the Holocaust. that's really all it was, historical ignorance. Since she either didn't know or had forgotten that Hitler defined the Jews as an inferior race to be eradicated she made the mistake of identifying the evil of the Holocaust as a nonacial evil. She imposed her own idea of race on the historical events, meaning that since in her mind race is definited by visible characteristics and the Jews seem to her to be as white as any other whites, therefore the Holocaust wasn't about race. Well, it's historically very ignoirant of her but how manyh people have a good grasp of the historical facts about the Nazi era anyway? If you asked people on the street why Hitler hated the Jews how manyh of them wouild said he thought they were an inferior race? How many of them would even knbow what you were tlaking about in jthe first place? Well, certainly you'd expect that Whoopi Goldbert would know more than the man in the street, but I'm not sure why. How much has she read? Do we expecdt celebrities to be readers enough to have a solid grip on a historeical era we didn't live through? I guess I don't know the answer to that but I myself just see that Whoopi for what4ever reason was ignorant of the historical facts and interposed her own ideas about race and made a big mistake. She apolotized and I think that's enough. Even the little big of punishement she got is too much. Nobody should be punished for making such a mistake. An apology ought to be sufficient.

And we really should improve our education of our citizenry so that we all know what really happened in the Holocaust.

Well, that was a side trip but the them is the same. It's the leftist mentality that punishesx a person for having a point of view that is wrong according to their notions, whether due to ignorance or a well worked out philosophy that disagrees with them. That's what they are doing to the truckers. THe modus operandi of the Left ic character assassiination. Calling people racist and all the rest of the PC epithets is how they control people by intimidation. It's diabolical, and diabolically successfuful. <

And once it's reached the current level of numbers of people who have been brainwashed, how do we combait? I don't see how. That's what got me started on this post

UPDATE: Correction: I realized after posting this that I was lumping Brandon S together with George H as both fearful of breaching the party line, but as I thought about it I realized that it was Georgia H who described that fear and Brandon S. merely described being afraid of conservatives because of the leftist propaganda he believed.

The Walkaway People: Pushback Against the Leftist Lies and Totalitarian Tyranny. I Wish it Was More.

UPDATE Feb 4: Searched for Walkaway videos on You Tube and quite a few came up. There are lots more out there somewhere but I don't think my eyes could handle the search. Straka has a websit4e I thinkk, in any case he says there are thousands of such videos by now. I watched a few at You Tube and it's very heartening to see people waking up to the trutyh. It's interesting that some of them continue to hold views I can't share and my personal take is that if they just continue their research they'll come around closer to mine, but who knows. In any case there are more than I thought, it's not the millions we need but it's more than I thought. Oh lovely thoughtful smart sane people.

UPDATE Feb 4: I mention the walkaway video of Georgia H in this post and then discovered that it comes up at the end of the Brandon Straka video. I listened to it again and still think her testimony is about the best there could be at showing the insanity of the Left, so I'm posting it here at the bottom. ,br>

This is an oldie but I just discovered it. Mark Levin spent an hour of his radio show yesterday airing the testimony of Brandon Straka who was arrested as one of the perpetrators of the January 6th "insurrection" which was no insurrection or was only for some very small number of the people who were there that day. As he described his participation it was only as a photographer. He got there late, he was on the east side of the Capitol building where the crowd was numerous but nonviolent, he fil filmed it all inclujding when the crowd moved up the steps to enter the building. But they didn't enter the building and eventually he just went home. He found out later that there were violent incidents on the west side of the building that he hadn't seen.

Some time later the FBI arrested him as supposedly inciting an attack on a police officer at the doorway to the building. He had filmed the incident by holding his camera above the heads of the crowd in front of him but hadn't witnessed it himself and didn't even know what they were talking about until he watched the filmn again later. They claim he was a voice that shouted to the crowd to attack the policeman but he says that isn't his voice.

He had quite an ordeal because of his arrest but says there's more to it he will talk about on a later show with Levin.

Levin introduced him as the founder of the Walkaway movement of Democrats leaving the party. Ihadn't heard of him before. I did watch one walkaway video that I think I posted on my blog, Georgia H who gave a very touching story of what led her to leave the Democratic party and become a conservative. I hoped at the time that she wouold become a conservative activist and that I'd hear a lot more of her but to date I haven't.

Anyway Brandon Straka's story is also very interesting. He's gay and belconsidered himself to be a liberal mostly for that reason. He hated Trump and wanted to do his best to punish those who had voted for him. But then he posted on social media his outrage that anyone would vote for a man who would mock a disabled reporter as Trump was reported to have done. He demanded that people explain to him how they could support such a man. Someone contacted him in private and sent him the video that shows that Trump wasn't mocking the reporter's disability but something he said, and had mocked many others in exactly the same way. I saw that video yyears ago but there are still way too many people who still think Trump mocked a person for his disability.

Here's Straka on a podcast describing his walkaway experience:



This is what happens when a liberal suddenly recognizes that he's been lied to. He starts researching other reports and discovers that he's been lied to about all of them. Inthis case it was all the lies about TeTrump[. Eventually he had to leave the Democratic party and started a movement of people leaving the Democratic Party.

Here's one of the videos that show that TRUMP WAS NOT mocking a person's disability but something false in what he said, which he is shown doing with many others as well.

Well, every little bit helps whenit comes to undoing the pernicious lies of the left. But still it must be about half the country who believe them

======================

And here is the walkaway video of the lovely and sane Geoergia He:


Note: I have to say I disagree with both Brandon S and Georgia H on one point: They think gay marriage is a good thing, I see it as da violationj of God's law and a destructive influence in AAmerican culture.

How I Remember the COVID Nightmare Unfolding Over the Last Two Years.

UPDATE: I listened to this on the Read Aloud function and besides finding lots of horrific typos I'm really not able to correct there was one that has to be corrected and I can't find it: I wrote vitamin D2 instead of D3 somewhere. It has to be D3 or just D.

Before Trump said anything about it, I heard about HCQ on the Hannity show. He had guests on who testified to its effectiveness. I think the next thing I heard was Trump's endorsement of it. The first testimony by doctors I thiknk I heard was by Dr. Simone Gold, an ER doctor in Southern California, and with her Dr.Daniel Wohlgelernter, a cardiologist connected diwht the samde hosptiral. I think that would have been early summer of 2020 but I'm going by memory so I could be off on the timing. They both described using HCQ with patients who got better as a result. They challenged a couple of studies that were badly designed, and one that was an out and out fraud which had been published in the prestigious journal Lancet. HCQ was given too late in many cases to be of any benefit, or given without zinc for which it is an ionophore, meaning it opens cells so that zinc can enter and kill the virus. That's how HCQ works. Much later I heard that it also has other benefits against a virus including antiinflammatory properties, but that wasn't mentioned in this case Both of these doctors said when it is administered at the right time, as soo0n as possible after symptoms appear, it is very effective and is completely safe both in their own experience and as reported in the literature over at least seven decades.
Within dats as I recall, maybe a bit longer, You Tube removed that video so it disappeared from my blog as well. I went and found it somewhere and wrote out some of what they had said, which should still be up on my blog somehwere.

Hannity had mentioned Dr. Zelenko as a cource of knowledge about HCDQ's effectiveness and eventually I listened to some interviews of him. He had begun using HCQ qith his patient population in New York State after studying the literature on repurposed drugs with antiviral properties, and found that his patients not only didn't die of COVID when they got it but the disease was mild and they recovered rapidly. He developed proocols for prevention of COVID and treatment. He said he gives it only to the high risk patients because low risk patients don't need it, they don't get very sick and they recover rapidly and completely.

So I figured that was pretty good information already, but then I also heard Dr. Harvey Risch on the subject in a couple of interviews. He's the head of the PUblic Health Department at Yale University and he gave strong testimony to the effectiveness of HCQ. He is still giving that testimony. I linked to a talk he gave on the subject not long ago.

All that happened before the vaccines came out. and by then HCQ had been vilified and its advocates vilified and kicked off social media and it began to be impossible to get hold of it. Dr. Simony Gold then helped to organize "American's Front Line Doctgors" who would prescribe it over the internet and could arrange for it to be sent to people by a cooperating pharmacy. they don't take insurance and of crouse Doctor's fees are expensive.

Considering that there was already quite a bit of expert testimony in favor of HCQ that also effecrtively exposed the errors in the studies that discredited it, you'd think sanity would prevail and the restrictions would be removed. But it only got worse, and by then it had begun to feel extremely sinister that this very effective drug was being suppressed.

And then by the end of 2020 Ivermectin, another effective treatment was starting to be recommended. A Doctors started presenting that as an effective treatment on social media and were soon cancelled just as those promoting HCQ had been. Always the reason is "misinformation>' These are highly credentialed doctors, all those I've heard, HIGHLY credentialed, highly experiences, and their testminoy is far from hyped, it's quitge measured and reasonable, thoroughly scientified. Yet these doctors were being treated as charlatans by social media.

By then the push for the vaccines was getting quite aggressive. I remember thinking that there was really no need for vaccies since we had effective treatments in HCQ and Ivermectin and if they were used at the onset of COVID people would recover rapidly and have immunity, so the heavy emphasis on vaccination never made any sense to me from the beginning.

Sometime in 2020 I had discovered Bret Weinstein and Heather Heyibng's podcast because they were reporting on the other insanity of the year, the rioting in response to the George Floyd incident. No matter that at least one white man had died from exactly the same treatment by the po9lice, a story that was available onlibne from many sources around that time, nevertheless it had to be racism that was responsible for Georgle Floyd's death and there was no getting a sane hearing for the truth.


Eventually Bret and Heather did their own reserach into the vaccines and Ivercmectin and concluded byat they didn't want to be vaccinated, instead choosing to take Ivermectin and supplements to boost the immune system such as vitamin D2. Bret did interviews with Dr. Pierre Kory who is a strong advocate for Ivermectin, and Dr. Robert Malone.

Dr. Peter McCullough started showing up in interviews too, now we're into the latest phase of the thickening of the plot against effective treatments for COVID while the vaccines are continuing to be pushed at breakneck speed. The latest phase is the interviews of Dr. Malone and Dr. McCullough by Joe Rogn on his podcast that has an ewnormous audience. You'd think he'd be safe on one of the alterntative platforms but oh no, now we're getting celebrities withdrawing their own material from the platform because they consider these doctors to be pushing "misinformation." Joe Rogan so far hasn't backed down but he sounded just a tad more waffley than I would have liked.

We're in an age when it's the truth that's censored, it's called a lie when the fact is that the lies are on the side against it. People are now denied effective treatment for COVID while vaccines that do not prevent the disease or its transmission are promoted instead. The number of deaths from COVID is outrageous and none of it was necessary. But people who get hospitalized are given a drug that is not effective at all and carries its own severe and according to one source probably lethal side effects. That's Remdesivir, the only drutg hopstirals are alllowed to administer to COVID patients while HCQ and Ivermectin are banned as ineffective or even harmful, bother murderous liews.

Who would ever have thought such evil could prevail in America, or even in the world for that mattger, even in this fallen world.

Rights and Freedoms Are a Hill to Die On

Chris Pinto's documentary, The True Christian History of America showed up on You Tube so I've been able to watch it again. I don't think it was there before, I found a trailer but not the film, but it's possible I'd overlooked it. Possible, but I think it was put there later. Anyway I get to see it again after all.

Yes, he shows the Christian sources of the principles that formed America. Wycliffe actually used the phrase we impute to Lincoln, "Government of the people, by the people and for the people." That was in the thirteenth century. Freedom of speech and religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to resist tyrannical leasders, it all had precursors in European and especially English history.

Seeit it again now, I may be changing my mind about something. These things are worth fighting for and not to fight for them is to yheild to the tyranny our founding documents intended to protect us from. This is a hill to die on. They are lying to us, they are violating the Constitution at every turn. It makes no sense to depend on merely trying to vote out of office peopkle who are actually committing treason. The Declaration of Independence makes it clear that there are times when tyranny has to be confronted and fought. I thihnk we're there.

Blah Blah Evolution Blah Blah COVID Blah Blah

Yes, it's obvious, and they should see it also if they would only really really think it through. That is, evolutionary theory is false. False false false. It's nothing but a piling on of one assumption after another, nothing but a castle in the air built of specul.ation. They really think it's science. THEY REALLY DO. tHERE IS NO FACT ANYWHERE IBN THE WHOLE MISERABLE MESS BUT NO MATTER, IT'S SCIENCE. iF YOU SAY OH IT'S ONLY A THEORY THEY SAY YES BUT THAT'S ALL SCIENCE EVERYIS. uM, BUT THE THEORY OF GRAVITY IS A VERY DIFFEREHNT THING FROM THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. tHEY CAN GIVE ALL SORT OF ACTUAL FACTS FOR GRAVITY, FACTS AND FORMULAS AND SO ON. sAME WITH eINSTEIN'S FORMULA. bUT But for Darwinian evolution nothing but clever speculations. Yes, still. Not just Darwin's but everything they've added to it. It's not science. It's not science.

But of course that will get me about as far as I get trying to argue that it's the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated, who are spreading the Corona virus. Sent to the gulag, the gulag of being ignored and ridiculed in this case though the unvaccinated seem to be destined for a more substantial gulag. Lbr<
A bird is a bird is a bird is a bird. Sparrow or ostrich or penguin or flamingo. There is a birdness to birds that makes them birds. A dogness to dogs, a catness to cats etc. It's in the body plan, the basic structure. That never varies. You'd think it would if evolution were true, if birds were realated to dinosaurs for instance. But no, a bird is a bird. Cat body plan doesn't vary either, it doesn't shade off here and there to some other body plan, it's always a cat body plan whether it's a lion or a tabby housecat. I don't know why I got into this one, it's only one of dozens of ways o9f showing that evolution is a b ig fat fraud.

But of course it wouldn't matter a whole lot since it really has absolutely no practical consequance. Yes that's true but they'll deny that too because they appropriate things that aren't evolution to evolution and call them evolution. Sign. But the reason it matters is that this fraud of a "theory" is destroying the foundations of western civilization. First it brought the Bible into question. They oh so earnestly say but golly gosh all the good things in religions are still there even if science has proven some of it wrong. Doesn't work that way. The Bible is God's word. ALL of it is true. Darwin set himself against God and silly fallen humanity bought it.

I wish wish wish I could show them how they are wrong but of course I can't. Since it's all a mental fabrication it can't be falsified. Why can't they see it though? For one thing they probably never try to address the theory itself, they spend all their time looking at living creatures and using the evollutionary tag words to describe what they observe. It's all a word game.

Makes me hope the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is coming very very soon.


asnd yet of course I want people to be saved. But as long as they "know" that"sicence" is the truth and the Bible is false fat chace even of that. Well, let's not run away with this now, God is the one who saves and no stupid fallen science can stop Him.

Meanwhile we're being lied to in a million other ways these days. Lethal ways.
