At the root of even very complex ideas, there are simple premises. Understand the simple premises, and you're ready to make sense of a wealth of phenomena.

"The latter case deserves special comment, since attitudes toward the philosophical interpretation of quantum theory have changed dramatically in recent decades. When the Forman Thesis was published in the early 1970s, the acausality
of the quantum laws was generally seen as part of the core scientific formalism of
the theory in accordance with the dominant Copenhagen Interpretation. Due largely
to the work of David Bohm and John Bell, physicists’ views shifted, allowing
more space for a philosophical pluralism within which different interpretations,
including causal ones, are possible. Bell was aware of Forman’s historical critique,
which may have provided additional encouragement to his efforts in challenging
the Copenhagen orthodoxy from the physics side. In recent years, more historians
and philosophers of science have turned in their analyses to those physicists who
disagreed with prevailing opinion and defended the causality principle in quantum
mechanics, to whose previously neglected views Forman had called ‘sympathetic
attention’."

The Defunding and Decline of the Media
We’ve already reached the point that mainstream media organs require sugar daddies like Jeff Bezos, Carlos Slim Helú, and the US federal government just to operate on a reduced scale. And now that the era of free money is over, the decline is going to accelerate as more mainstream and mainstream-supported organizations fail. Nearly 20,000 […]

In the early 1980s, vaccine manufacturers were losing BIG money.
For every $1 they made off the DTP vaccine, they were losing $20 to injury lawsuits.
So Wyeth (now Pfizer) went to the Reagan White House and demanded liability protections with the threat of getting out of the vaccine business.
President Reagan asked Wyeth why they couldn’t make safer vaccines. Wyeth answered that they couldn’t because vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.”
The 1986 Vaccine Injury Act was then signed, which turned vaccines into a "dream product." Here's why:
#1 - There's no liability, therefore no incentive to perform safety testing.
#2 - No liability means no injury lawsuits, which means big savings for the vaccine manufacturers.
#3 - The need for advertising and marketing is also eliminated because the products are mandated for kids to go to school.
"If you could get your vaccine onto the CDC mandatory schedule. It's worth about a billion dollars in profit to your company for every vaccine every year," denoted Robert Kennedy Jr.

She’s impossible to hate
I’ve tried
And realized most of it is my own snobbery
Yes she is dumb as a box of rocks and basically illiterate
Yes I think her husband is a nancy boy
Yes her first stab at notoriety was for an “anti trolling” initiative à la Nikki Haley
Yes she was an actress on the books of an Israeli pornographer before she tumbled accidentally into right wing commentary
And yes she has been uniquely venomous behind the scenes about me (to no avail, poor lamb)
But who cares
Today she is Candace Imperatrix and I stand behind her 👑

TIL in 2012 an Oregon woman found a letter from a Chinese labor camp prisoner in a box of Halloween decorations she bought from Kmart. She publicized the letter. The man, who had been released in 2010, saw a news story about it and wrote another letter just for her, thanking her for doing that.
