Experts, the CDC, Lockdowns, and Depression (+Moral Mockery)
Experts now say the COVID lockdowns and school shutdowns went too far. A new report from the CDC claims 1 in 3 teen girls are suicidal. Could these issues be related? It’s no surprise to Dennis. After all, he always said, “the lockdowns are the greatest mistake in human history.â Experts at the CDC have advice for how to treat this mental health crisis, but should we listen to them or have they lost credibility?

Science Needs To Stop Using Terms Like Male, Female, Mother And Father
Alternatives to terms like âmaleâ and âfemaleâ and âmotherâ and âfatherâ should be sought in science because they assume that sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm, a group of researchers from the US and Canada suggests.
Male and female should instead be referred to as âsperm-producingâ and âegg-producing,â the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project said, according to the Times of London.
Meanwhile, father and mother should be labeled âparent,â âegg donorâ and âsperm donorâ in the scientific field.
The group has called on the scientific field to use words that are more âinclusive and precise,â according to a press release from the University of British Columbia, which has three researchers in the initiative.
âMuch of Western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, and these power structures continue to permeate our scientific culture,â some project members wrote in the Trends in Ecology and Evolution journal….
(SMH)
Not a fan of Dawkins, but…. “Dawkins Vows to Continue Using âProhibited Wordsâ Like âMaleâ and âFemaleâ“
…The offending words include terms as basic as âmaleâ and âfemaleâ, which the EBB Language Project wants to replace with supposedly more inclusive terms like âsperm-producingâ, âegg producingâ, and âXY/XX individualâ.
âThe only possible response is contemptuous ridicule,â the notorious atheist â or âanti-theistâ â told The Telegraph
âI shall continue to use every one of the prohibited words. I am a professional user of the English language. It is my native language,â he vowed.
âI am not going to be told by some teenage version of Mrs Grundy which words of my native language I may or may not use,â he added, referring to a stock character in British discourse dating from the late 1700s, characterised by a tendency to censorious priggishness…..

Bad ideas are everywhere, spreading like viruses. Ironically, the antidote is readily available. We just have to have the courage to use it. Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, provides the prescription.

California Judge BLOCKS Law Punishing Doctors For COVID Treatment
A federal judge has temporarily blocked a California law intended to prevent doctors from spreading COVID-19 misinformation or disinformation to patients, finding that it is âunconstitutionally vague.âÂ

Gay Priveledge (Monkeypox Edition)
(The below is from ACE OF SPADES! | Must see TWITCHY as well)
…Of course, of course. You can’t tell gays to stop having sex. Or even to stop having sex with multiple partners in a week.
I mean — that’s sacred. That’s holy.
What you can do is forbid people to stop doing non-sacred, non-holy things, things like: Going to church, going to marriage ceremonies, going to funerals, going to christenings, seeing relatives who are in the hospital or on their deathbeds, etc.
But you certainly can’t stop gays from having sex with multiple partners. That is too firmly rooted in this nation’s culture!
Plus, as they say, it just wouldn’t be effective. Gays would just ignore the your “advice.”
Thousands of gay men clad in leather, latex — and often much less — partied along Folsom Street here last weekend during the annual kink and fetish festival. Even after the city had just declared the monkeypox outbreak striking its gay community a health emergency — one day after the World Health Organization urged men to sleep with fewer men to reduce transmission — San Francisco public health officials made no attempt to rein in festivities or warn attendees to have less sex.
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weighs whether to recommend limiting sexual partners, health officials in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and other U.S. cities battling surges disproportionately sickening gay men are avoiding calls for sexual restraint, wary of further stigmatizing same-sex intimacy.
Public health authorities typically emphasize safer sex over abstinence to prevent the spread of diseases through intimate contact. But monkeypox is presenting new challenges in calibrating the right message to stop the rare virus from becoming endemic while limiting government intrusion into the bedroom.
I don’t remember being told to be “safer” at the gym or beach during covid.
I was told I simply was not permitted to go, and if I tried to go, I would be arrested.
There was no “Use Your Best Judgement” under covid. There was no “You can do what you want to do, just put a band-aid over your sores” under covid.
During covid, the health authorities did not merely offer advice. They also sent out the police to arrest pastors that held church services. And to arrest business owners who opened their businesses. And to shutter parks and gyms with gates and chains.
And other coercive means.
But you can’t do that with gay bars and gay fetish parties.
Again, gay fetish orgy parties are simply too rooted in the misty chords of American memory to be subject to state control, unlike petty matters like religion, children’s schooling, children’s sports, adults’ past-times, or commerce of all kinds.
America was founded on two things: unprotected gay multipartner sex, and leftwing riots and murder.
They’re blessings of liberty, bigot.
The FBI and NIH both agree.
People were also fired from their jobs for not complying with The Regime’s dictates on vaccination.
But some people’s liberty is just more sacred than other people’s.
In the Empire of Lies, the truth has a selective utility:
[….]
Can I ask a serious question:
Why are no Republicans in Congress asking Rachel Walensky or Anthony Fauci about this?
Do even our representatives so care about the New York Times’ opinion of them that they won’t ask highly-relevant questions?
Why has not a single reporter at the supposedly-conservative Fox News asked these questions?
Oh right, because Fox News isn’t conservative, it’s as leftwing as CNN and MSNBC. It would be homophobic to ask why gays are allowed to continue having multipartner gay sex during a pandemic spread by multipartner gay sex…..

New York Times Calls Free Speech “Proto-Fascism”
…because we all know that Fascist and Communist countries encouraged “free speech”
Some of the change in positions noted… Musk, like Trump, cause a “coming out” as THE FIVE notes:
Dennis Prager (a little under the weather) shares his thoughts on the New York Times calling free speech âproto-fascism.â
A clip from the NEW YORK TIMESÂ and FOX NEWS also covers it:
…This is why his deal to purchase Twitter is so dangerous. In recent years, there has been progress toward positive freedom of speech â real work to give everyone, truly everyone, more meaningful occasion to speak. Mr. Musk apparently wants to shut that down. Instead, in a moment of proto-fascism on the political right, his priority seems to be to undam the flood of bile and bigotry and bullying and disinformation.
The country already faces the very real prospect, starting at noon on Jan. 20, 2025, of a descent toward racist authoritarianism and a protracted slide away from liberal democracy. If your idea of what the country needs in this moment is less clamping down on hate and lies and more rightists gone wild, whew….
MINISTRY OF TRUTH
The only “Fascistic” enterprise from Musk buying Twitter is our government wants to counter with a Ministry of Truth, via ACE OF SPADES:
Good morning, kids. Thursday and information, misinformation, disinformation, dat information and bullshit remains the hot topic of conversation. Elon Musk’s “Grabbe”-ing Twitter by the weeping Vajaya has caused both the wailing and rending of garments on the Left and exultation for us normal people. While I would caution us not to commence a venturi effect on our nether regions just yet, Musk has been saying the right things about economics and taxation for quite some time, earning him the ire of all the wrong people. The actions of the EPA in blocking the construction of a SpaceX launch facility in Boca Chica is textbook government retribution. And that’s just for starters. Whatever his motives may be, he has painted a big fat target on himself.
Our ability to communicate freely via the internet hangs in the balance even now. We barely escaped that Orwellian (what the hell isn’t these days?) “Net Neutrality” Act — for now. The internet absolutely broke the stranglehold on both the crafting and mass dissemination of information that Leftist propagandists had had for decades and, along with talk radio, both confirmed what many had feared to be the true nature of who and what has been running the government and society and, more importantly, revealed those truths to a vast audience that was heretofore unaware.
All of that said, Musk acquiring Twitter, in and of itself, is not going to win the war for free speech. But it may very well be the moral equivalent of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. It both absolutely shocked Imperial Japan, who had not been attacked in centuries and electrified American morale, which had taken a pounding since Pearl Harbor. Afterwards, the Japanese set about to finish off America once and for all, or so they had hoped. Same thing with the junta in power.
The Department of Homeland Security is setting up a Disinformation Governance Board in an attempt to combat âmisinformationâ online. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas spoke about the âjust establishedâ governance board during a congressional hearing on Wednesday, arguing it would help reduce domestic threats to the United States. Nina Jankowicz, a fellow for the Wilson Center, confirmed reports that she would direct the board, sharing her official government portrait on her social media profile. âCatâs out of the bag: hereâs what Iâve been up to the past two months,â she wrote. She claimed the new board was created to âmaintain the Departmentâs commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties”… … Jankowicz has long been an advocate for social media censorship and regulation. In October 2020, Jankowicz testified to the House Select Committee on Intelligence on the dangers of misinformation and conspiracy theories and how to stop it online. âDisinformation is a threat to democracy,â she warned and criticized the government and social media platforms who have âall but abdicated their responsibilityâ to address âdomestic disinformation.â
Just fucking wow. I mean, where does one even begin to try and unpack this hideous farce? Aside from the fact that this hag was pimping the now proven lie that the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, there’s this thing called THE FIRST AMENDMENT that, like Charlie Gibson, she apparently has never heard of. The government does not get to decide what is and what is not misinformation. There are laws governing things such as slander and libel, as well as this thing called common sense which is supposed to, in theory, give the individual pause before shooting his mouth off as well as the right to discern for oneself what is and what is not truth. The consequences for either of those being on the individual.
Moving on from the philosophical, under what authority does this “politburo” have the right to exist in the first place? What regulatory power, completely illegitimate that it is, will it wield in supposedly maintaining the DHS’ “commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties?” Will it amass dossiers – pun absolutely intended – on people who object to the sexualization, disfiguring and brainwashing of their children? On those of us who consider the very government that is forming this commission illegitimate on the basis of the mountain of evidence proving the 2020 election was stollen?
And once it has amassed those dossiers, what is the punishment for spreading disinformation, otherwise known as stating one’s opinion? Considering the Junta and its supporters define what happened on January 6th as the greatest threat to our precious democracy (*vomit*) since the Civil War, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined, one assumes there will be 3:00AM raids followed by incarceration in the Garland Archipelago if not Gitmo, incommunicado and indefinitely.
I’m suddenly reminded about the arguments around the limitations or even abolition of the Second Amendment. The Left always insisted that the Founders never anticipated automatic weapons and machine guns back in the 18th century. The counter to that argument was, should we abolish the First Amendment since they never anticipated massive printing presses, television, radio and — wait for it — the internet either? Well, I guess the answer to that is a big old “yes!”
If the Second Amendment was always the final firewall between liberty and tyranny, the First Amendment I guess was the penultimate and, at least in theory, the strongest. Much of this also centers around the battle for who controls the speech. This whole notion of “safe spaces” from being offended has both crippled the last few generations as well as been used as a weapon with which to terrorize us into submission via group coercion, be it at work or even at home. The nature of being free runs antithetical to being safe. Those who argue for safety will hide behind the veneer of being benign and doing things “for our own good.” What was that thing that’s supposed to be paved with good intentions?
That said, I’m not buying that anymore. There are no good intentions with those who seek to silence us. They do these things not for our own good but for theirs. If agents or informants of this pathetic Ministry of Truth are reading this, come and get me and the publishers who wrote my book.
You can also round up Anthony Fauci. He claimed yesterday that the pandemic was over.
Whoops! Did he say the pandemic was over? No! What he really said was it’s NOT over.
Dear Lord how I hate these people. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out, especially if Musk purges the Goebbels acolytes from the Twitter ranks. The Left has already “woke” (heh) a sleeping giant with the assault on children. Let’s see how they react if they are silenced and/or threatened because they use Twitter as a means to communication…..

Covid Used As Opportunity To Change Society
For some reason I cannot read at home, so the only time I actually do read is on Friday’s after work I go to a local pub and read at the bar while having a few beers. This was a portion worth adding to the record here:
No one expressed it more clearly than Gregg Gonsalves, an associate professor at Yale University, epidemiologist, and AIDS activist. On March 23, Gonsalves tweeted: “As a friend of mine said this weekend: ‘There are no natural or social laws preventing us from remaking the economy for the next 18 months, the next years, or forever…. There are only political and cultural barriers, barriers we must overcome….‘”
Similarly, Michael Hiltzik, a left-leaning columnist for the Los Angeles Times, wrote in May that the coronavirus could boost plans for universal basic income-government provided welfare payments for all. (In October, actress and liberal activist Jane Fonda would express an even blunter take: “I just think Covid is God’s gift to the left.”)

Trudeau Gets Called A Dictator In Front Of The Entire EU
THE COUNTER SIGNAL (see also TRUE NORTH) has this delightful update on Trudeau…. and yes, when Mislav Kolakusic is looking back, he is looking directly at Trudeau:
On March 23, PM Justin Trudeau was called a dictator in front of the entire European Union over his response to the Freedom Convoy.
Addressing both the European Parliament and Trudeau specifically, Member of the European Parliament Mislav Kolakusic proceeded to deliver Trudeau perhaps the most humiliating international thrashing of his political career.
Trudeau is going to come home from Europe VERY angry. He was just forced to sit and listen while he was labelled a “dictator,” in front of the entire European Union, one who “trampled women with horses,” and “blocks the bank accounts of single parents.” https://t.co/GiPU69MboE pic.twitter.com/83662XKyrb

âFreedom, the right to choose, the right to life, the right to health, the right to work for many of us are fundamental human rights for which millions of citizens of Europe and the world have laid down their lives,â Kolakusic began.
ââŚ. Canada, once a symbol of the modern world, has become a symbol of civil rights violations under your quasi-liberal boot in recent months. We watched how you trample women with horses, how you block the bank accounts of single parents so that they canât even pay their childrenâs education and medicine, that they canât pay utilities, mortgages for their homes.â
âTo you,â he continues, speaking to Trudeau, âthese may be liberal methods; for many citizens of the world, it is a dictatorship of the worst kind. Rest assured that the citizens of the world, united, can stop any regime that wants to destroy the freedom of citizens, either by bombs or harmful pharmaceutical products.â
Kolakusic, having once lived under a Communist regime in Croatia, is more than likely only too familiar with authoritarian regimes, their consequences, and the grievances of everyday citizens. And like many who have survived Communist dictatorships, it is apparent that he shares the disdain over Trudeauâs use of Emergency Powers to target peaceful protesters who only wanted their rights back.
And indeed, Kolakusic isnât the only MEP to suggest Trudeau is acting like a dictator.
â[Trudeauâs] exactly like a tyrant, like a dictator. Heâs like CeauČescu in Romania,â said Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes last month.
Romanian MEP @CristianTerhes absolutely mops the floor with PM @JustinTrudeau in Brussels this week over how he’s handling the Ottawa #FreedomConvoy2022 protests.

Sharyl Attkisson: “Anti-Vaxxer” a Very Effective Propaganda Tool
“Definitions now are being rewritten and changed in real-time to fitâŚwhatever the establishment wants people to think,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. The term “anti-vaxxine” is now used to describe anybody who is opposed to vaccine mandates. In this episode, we discuss how propagandists have taken control of the information landscape.

TECHNO FROG details the CDC’s emails discussing changing the term “vaccination”
The CDC caused an uproar in early September 2021, after it changed its definitions of âvaccinationâ and âvaccine.â For years, the CDC had set definitions for vaccination/vaccine that discussed immunity. This all changed on September 1, 2021.
The prior CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination (August 26, 2021):
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a personâs immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
The CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination since September 1, 2021:
Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the bodyâs immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.
People noticed. Representative Thomas Massie was among the first to discuss the change, noting the definition went from âimmunityâ to âprotectionâ.
[….]
CDC emails we obtained via the Freedom of Information Act reveal CDC worries with how the performance of the COVID-19 vaccines didnât match the CDCâs own definition of âvaccineâ/âvaccinationâ. The CDCâs Ministry of Truth went hard at work in the face of legitimate public questions on this issue…..
Another note on the Merriam Webster (Ditionary) change to “Vaccine” is elucidated by DECEPTION, SELF-DECEPTION, & DEFACTUALIZATION — who has an excellent subtitle to the site: “Wherever money is insufficient to bury the truth, ignorance, propaganda, and short memories finish the job.” Funny and sad at the same time.
Paraphrasing George Orwellâs âAnimal Farmâ to illustrate a simple concept my mother drummed into my head from as far back as I can remember, âWords mean things.â
In his other memorable offering, â1984,â Orwell used a construct called âNewspeakâ as a means for his dystopian government to control thought. It did so by limiting the number of words available with which to articulate thought. I suppose elimination of words was to the author a simpler method to use in fiction when compared to that which has been employed in fact by those who seek to control our thoughts and our acceptance of their agendas.
The current pathway to achieving Orwellâs objective in what we like to think of as âthe real worldâ is to keep the words but change their meaning. There can be no more glaring example than Merriam Websterâs treatment of the word âvaccine.â One day the word referred to a substance administered to an individual in order to convey immunity and to stop the spread of a disease. Overnight it was expanded to include Gene Therapy.
Consider the difference this small addition makes. The pushback against âvaccineâ is growing in scope and strength, fueled primarily by the revelation that it is not a vaccine but in fact is gene therapy. Now, with the stroke of a pen, it is also a vaccine. For the propagandists this neutralizes all argument based on whether or not the government is being truthful in its vaccine regulations, mandates and other pronouncements. Now that gene therapy is a vaccine it is no longer a lie. Advantage Orwell.
Consider VAERS, that trove of information on the negative aspects of vaccines. This is a useful compilation of information but also illustrates our governmentâs approach to the entire subject. When reports are helpful to the official narrative they are akin to gospel but when they provide data that runs counter to the narrative they are false information. My reaction to the governmentâs self-serving position on VAERS is like that of Enid Strict, SNLâs Church lady, âWell, isnât that special?â….
FOX NEWS covers the change in “Anti-Vaxxer” in the Merriam Webster dictionary as well, saying,
Merriam-Websterâs online definition of “anti-vaxxer” is spreading on social media this month amid outrage over vaccine mandates. The definition of the term was first added to the online dictionary in 2018 and was updated in late September.
“Redefine words all you want Merriam Webster, but WORDS STILL HAVE MEANING. By this definition, you arenât pro-vaccine unless you believe the government should force everyone to get a medical procedure?” Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantisâs press secretary, Christina Pushaw, tweeted Wednesday morning.
Fox News examined Merriam-Websterâs current definition of “anti-vaxxer” compared to its definition from 2018, and found it omitted the word “laws” in favor of “regulations.” The definition still states, however, that an “anti-vaxxer” includes people who oppose such rules on vaccinations or the vaccines, themselves.
“Definition of anti-vaxxer: a person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccination,” Merriam-Websterâs website currently states, noting that it was updated on Sept. 29, 2021.
The definition of “anti-vaxxer” was previously defined, according to an archived definition from 2018 examined by Fox News, as: “A person who opposes vaccination or laws that mandate vaccination.”
Editor at large of Merriam-Webster.com, Peter Sokolowski, told PoltiFact in May – after outrage first cropped up over the definition – that the word was first added in 2018.
At the time, Sokolowski said the definition remained unchanged from 2018.
Merriam-Webster did not immediately respond to Fox Newsâs request for comment on why the definition was updated on Sept. 29.
Fox News also examined the definition of “anti-vaxxer” in the New Oxford American dictionary and found it does not include language on mandates, laws or regulations.Â
“A person who is opposed to vaccination, typically a parent who does not wish to vaccinate their child,” the New Oxford American dictionary states.
After the definition was criticized over the summer, critics have taken to Twitter to lambaste the definition again following its update last month.Â
[….]
And of course the CDC changes what is required to be considered “vaccinated” regarding Covid Shots — RIGHT SCOOP:
What do you call it when they create an endless set of steps you have to take to remain a part of society? Because that is what is happening. Think about what weâre being told.
Weâre told to stay inside and do nothing until thereâs a vaccine and then when we get it we can finally start returning to normal life. Except after the vaccines, they say itâs not enough, keep wearing masks and staying six feet apart and also a bunch of industries and private businesses will have to remain out of work.
Thatâs not good enough for them, though. So, every day someone on cable news, often CNNâs âDr.â Wen but often just commentators or even reporters and anchors, goes on air and says how we arenât harsh enough to unvaxxed, they have to be punished more, they have to be driven from society further. Thatâs still happening every day.
Except vaccination isnât vaccination, is it? You have to get a booster too. The covid regime forever……
