Finally, the Theranos fraud makes sense. This article argues it was a deliberate attempt to make fraudulent tests that would be helpful in a mass pandemic - like COVID: https://thenakedhedgie.com/2021/10/02/the-theranos-scandal-the-real-story-1-3/

Looks like after 5.5y, s newspaper has been forced into a rather lukewarm public apology to two doctors who they maligned horribly about statin drugs (do not take them).

While it’s obviously better than not getting an apology, I think it’s a bitter harvest. Few people have the fortitude and ability to fund and / or fund raise the necessary money.

Even having these admirable qualities, justice delayed is, for me, justice denied.

Best wishes

Moldova Rejects EU

This may mark the death knell for the EU. Once every Central and Eastern European state was desperate to join. Now, a number of existing members want out and formerly-prospective members no longer see any benefit to joining: Voters in Moldova have rejected the government-backed proposal to enshrine eventual integration with the EU in the […]

Raw Egg Nationalist was asked to write this essay for a very mainstream British publication, under his own name, Dr Charles Cornish-Dale. But then the editor of said publication got cold feet, which we won’t go into. He thought the essay deserved to be published, so here it is, in full unredacted form.

The Leak was Real

Apparently Israel was genuinely observed making preparations to attack Iran on October 15th and 16th, but appears to have cancelled the attack for reasons that remain unknown, but are presumably related to the “earthquake” that was observed earlier this month. The US has launched an investigation after highly classified intelligence reports about Israel’s preparations for […]

"The company, Heliospect Genomics, has worked with more than a dozen couples undergoing IVF, according to undercover video footage. The recordings show the company marketing its services at up to $50,000 (£38,000) for clients seeking to test 100 embryos, and claiming to have helped some parents select future children based on genetic predictions of intelligence. Managers boasted their methods could produce a gain of more than six IQ points."

An Intriguing Escalation

The IDF is bombing banks in Lebanon: The Israeli military launched airstrikes on branches of a bank in Lebanon that the U.S. and Israel have linked to Hezbollah, escalating its military campaign to strike institutions that are part of the group’s far-reaching network of economic and social influence. The Israeli air force hit branches of […]

On the Phenomenon of Male Flight

Martin van Creveld has pointed out the phenomenon of male flight from education and entire professions, repeatedly, for decades. But only now that the higher education system is on the point of complete collapse is anyone else beginning to recognize that it poses a very real and serious problem: This points to the underlying flaw […]

Are they admitting they're just making shit up?

"If you want your society to produce transcendent excellence in a given field, the only way to do so is to attach a competitive male status hierarchy to it. With status on the line, men will throw themselves into the arena, immersing themselves completely, devoting their every waking moment to mastering a skill or subject, making it their life’s purpose to push a discipline beyond its limits. Competitive pressures between the best of the best then raises performance to its apogee. Iron sharpens iron.

"Conversely, if you want reliable mediocrity, then you want women’s work. Women don’t have the same sexual incentive to compete with one another in performance, and so, by and large, don’t (they compete in other ways). Their instinct is to perform to a perfectly acceptable standard, but not, in general, to push themselves to exceed it."
