A potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and development of alzheimer's disease
If we're smart, why do we often seem so dumb? Take conspiracy theories. There are those who deny the existence of the Holocaust, who believe that the September 11 attacks were an inside job, who think that the COVID pandemic is a fraud.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accused a prominent legacy media outlet of printing falsehoods and “collaborating” with the Kremlin to smear him to protect the “dying Conservative Party”.
The Mail on Sunday, the sister paper of the Daily Mail, may be facing a lawsuit from Nigel Farage over its headline over the weekend which read: “Zelensky: Farage Is Infected with ‘Virus of Putin’,” after the Brexit leader stated the West played a role in provoking the Russian invasion with EU and NATO expansionism.
Mr Farage said that the headline was “totally untrue” and said he instructed the Carter-Ruck law firm to “deal with it”.
As a matter of historical fact, Farage's statement about the origins of the Ukraine War is correct. In 2021, a Nazified Ukrainian military force of over 100,000 assembled in Eastern Ukraine for the purpose of destroying Ukraine's self-governing and largely ethnic Russian Donbas republics. This after seven years of Ukrainian shelling and missile attacks on the Donbas that killed over 13,000 men, women and children.

And yes, the Donbas republics are entitled, under the terms of the UN Charter, to have the governments of their own choosing. Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, they don't get the government of their own chosing, they get to keep Amerika's term-expired, anti-Russian, coke-snorting puppet and Trudeau Friend, Zelenski.

Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak have condemned Nigel Farage for his claim the West provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Sunak said the Reform UK leader was “completely wrong and only plays into Putin’s hands”.
Labour leader Sir Keir called the remarks “disgraceful” and said anyone standing for Parliament should make clear Russia is the aggressor.
During interview on BBC's Panorama on Friday, Mr Farage was questioned about his opinion of Mr Putin.
He replied: “I said I disliked him as a person, but I admired him as a political operator because he’s managed to take control of running Russia."
Mr Farage, a former member of the European Parliament, also said: “Right, I’ll tell you what you don’t know, I stood up in the European Parliament in 2014 and I said, and I quote, ‘There will be a war in Ukraine’.
“Why did I say that?“It was obvious to me that the ever-eastward expansion of Nato and the European Union was giving this man a reason to his Russian people to say, ‘they’re coming for us again’ and to go to war.”
Speaking to reporters during a campaign visit in London, Sir Keir said: “On the question of Farage, his comments were disgraceful.
“Anyone who is standing for Parliament ought to be really clear that Russia is the aggressor, Putin bears responsibility, and that we stand with Ukraine, as we have done from the beginning of this conflict, and Parliament has spoken with one voice on this since the beginning of the conflict.”
Boris Johnson Pressured Zelenskyy to Ditch Peace Talks With Russia: Ukrainian PaperMany people worry about rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. They should. Elevated atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, which are normal in office buildings, school rooms, hospital operating rooms, and the White House Oval Office impair cognitive performance. An increase in ambient carbon dioxide concentration can only further impair the mental capacity of the office-bound functionaries who run the world.
Furthermore, increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration raises plant productivity. That's great if you're a farmer, but not so great if you worry about population growth, which is mainly occurring in places where population is food limited -- resulting, naturally, in well intentioned efforts to increase food production even more, which tends to result in people still going hungry but in greater numbers.
Then there's climate change anxiety. Does anyone know for sure what a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which we are on course to achieve, will do to the climate and, as a result, to us. Well, there are lots of people to warn of the consequences, but the reality is that we don't know: we're just playing with fire.
What then to do. Easy, just suck it up -- the carbon dioxide, that is. How? Atmospheric carbon dioxide capture and sequestration is already being implemented on a substantial scale. But it costs. So a carbon tax applied in full to direct-air carbon dioxide capture (DAC) provides the solution.
Current estimates of cost are in the region of US$0.70 per kilogram of carbon dioxide. So just apply a tax of around $1.50 per litre to gasoline and the equivalent to other sources of carbon dioxide and invest the proceeds in massive DAC plants. That will make using a car more expensive -- on average about an additional US$0.30 per kilometer -- but IT'S NOT PROHIBITIVE. And as a plus, folks will drive less, though remaining free to drive as much as they want -- at a price.
Canada and 40 other national or sub-national jurisdictions already have a carbon price. What remains to be done is to apply the tax revenue to direct air carbon dioxide capture and sequestration.
As for those expensive, overweight electric cars that you can't fast-charge if you're out in the boonies, forget 'em.
Other carbon-emission-free options for the future include vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine burning either ammonia, yielding nitrogen and water vapor, or methanol synthesized by hydrogenation of carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere.

“Biden is not well. Everyone knows this even those who support him…the difference is they don’t care and that’s the most frightening aspect of this situation.” — Edward Dowd
They’re kidding, right? That “Joe Biden” is capable of being president? Not just for another four-year term, but right here and now? This has got to be the most pitiful case of national gaslighting since 218-AD when the Romans installed 14-year-old Heliogabalus to front for their empire. Like “JB,” he reigned for four years (before the praetorian guard offed him). The Danish historian of ancient Rome, Barthold Niebuhr, said of him: “. . . [He] had nothing at all to make up for his vices, which are of such a kind that it is too disgusting even to allude to them.”
Lately, even the news media has begun to report “Joe Biden’s” senile mishaps. On Thursday at an outdoor photo op during the G7 meet-up in Italy, the ol’ dawg just wandered off from the assembled pack of world leaders until Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni went and reeled him back in.
Do you think that folks are starting to notice? Even many mind-fucked Democrat Party regulars who have been just fine with the controlled demolition of our country under this human door-stop of a president are murmuring ominously that the scam has become too obvious. Not Rachel Maddow, though. America’s Woke lunatic-in-chief reigning on MSNBC warned this week that the return of Trump would lead to her (and millions of her fans) getting jammed into “concentration camps.”
Maybe you’ve already noticed that Rachel Maddow lives in a concentration camp of-the-mind located inside her own batshit-crazy skull. Dunno about you, but for the first time in a life lived through many decades of purportedly rational post-war Modernity, I’ve developed a sympathetic view of how come people in earlier eras resorted to burning witches. They are obdurate public nuisances. Their “magic” lately is the ability to provoke a mass formation psychosis, an actual “threat to our democracy” or, more precisely, to our republic. Maddow, the proudly out-front lesbian non-breeder is living proof that renouncing motherhood is a predictor of Cluster-B personality disorder — the condition that defines the “progressive” Wokery of these times.
Joseph Stalin had old official photographs corrected to remove any trace of his opposition. Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron and their allies, too, are rewriting history. They have just staged, under the name of the "Normandy landings", events that happened otherwise. They hide the serious conflict that arose, from June to August 1944, between the French organizations that fought against the Nazi occupation – the National Council of the Resistance and the French Committee of National Liberation – and US president Franklin D. Roosevelt. They also obscure the fact that General Charles de Gaulle refused to take part in the landing... and they even invent Ukrainian participation.
