"Nerds become in love with their ideas, even when they’re wrong. Architecture astronauts, mRNA enthusiasts, marxists and other schools of economics, diet loons, snake-oil pharmaceutical salesmen, “experts” in most fields -these are ideologies that people can’t course correct without losing face. Since being “smart” is all a nerd has, they stick with shitty ideas even unto their actual deaths. Actually intelligent people play with ideas, consider where they might be useful and where they might break down."

US may intervene if Ukraine loses, — Congressman Jeffries
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the United States must continue to support Ukraine to prevent a wider war, blaming a "pro-Putin faction" in the Republican Party for delaying aid to fight Russia.
"We cannot allow Ukraine to lose, because if it does, there is a significant likelihood that America will have to get involved in the conflict — not just with our money, but with the help of our servicemen and women," Jeffries said in an interview with CBS News.
According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to recreate the Soviet Union, threatening NATO allies.
"Are we really supposed to believe that in the face of such consistent aggression, if we allow Vladimir Putin to succeed in Ukraine, he will only stop in Ukraine? Of course not," Jeffries noted.

The Divine Comedy was written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and 1321.
While the exact start and finish dates are debated by scholars, it is known that Dante began writing the poem sometime around 1308, during his exile from Florence. He likely continued working on it until his death in 1321.

Migrant Rape in Germany
Apparently it’s a crime in Germany to post these statistics. I wonder why? Do you think it’s possible that perhaps the German people don’t want to live around people who are disproportionally disposed to commit rape? Or that if the German people knew the truth, they might decide that perhaps living under the rule of […]

Right on schedule. Time to "cool the marks." The final step in every con game is to persuade the victim that the con artist is a nice guy so the victim declines to pursue justice. https://archive.is/DuH7r
And it was all in the plan from the beginning.
In the 2017 pandemic planning document, SPARS Pandemic Scenario 2025-2032, pandemic response planners explicitly considered the vaccine injury problem. The planned response is to wait until public pressure builds, call for an inquiry to further stall, and ultimately hand out token sums to the subset of victims who can "prove" their injuries were vaccine-related. At no point will the pharma execs or regulators responsible for the debacle ever suffer any consequences for it, if the pandemic planners have their way. See Chapter 17, page 59.

Aren't the coolers - or in this case the authorities responsible for the COVID vaccine debacle - nice and generous people after all, trying to make things right and help out the mark?
Want to learn more about cooling the mark so you can keep an eye out for it happening around you? This article is a bit dry and long winded, but it goes into the topic in detail:

TIL that in 550 AD, the Byzantine Emperor sent two monks to China to smuggle silk worms out of there to avoid Persian control over the Silk Road. The monks hid the worms in their walking sticks, and the silk industry they started lasted for 650 years.
