UK mainstream media blames excess cardiac deaths on NHS failure, ignores obvious link with vaccines
After a brief period when post-Covid after-effects were identified as the main culprit for the large rise in excess non-Covid deaths in 2022, that theory now seems to have fallen out of favour. Is that because it dawned on them that if the virus is to blame, then by the same logic vaccine after-effects become implicated as well? Neither vaccine nor virus has made it into the latest explanations for the rise in heart and stroke deaths. The British Heart Foundation has released analysis laying the blame squarely on the reduced access to healthcare during the pandemic and the consequent backlogs and delays in the system. Here's BBC News:

Another study finds social scientists are no better at forecasting than laymen
Whether we should defer to 'experts' was a major theme of the pandemic. Back in July, I wrote about a study that looked at 'expert' predictions and found them wanting. The authors asked both social scientists and laymen to predict the size and direction of social change in the U.S. over a 6-month period. Overall, the former group did no better than the latter - they were slightly more accurate in some domains, and slightly less accurate in others. A new study (which hasn't yet been peer-reviewed) carried out a similar exercise, and reached roughly the same conclusion.

News blackout: Shot fired at family home of N. Carolina US House candidate
A recent shooting at the Hickory, North Carolina, residence of GOP congressional candidate Pat Harrigan's parents and young children caused no injuries but has placed "tremendous stress" on the family in the final weeks of his campaign, Harrigan's mother said. A recent shooting at the Hickory, North Carolina, residence of GOP congressional candidate Pat Harrigan's parents and young children caused no injuries but placed "tremendous stress" on the family in the final weeks of his campaign, Harrigan's mother said Thursday. Harrigan, a firearms manufacturer and U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, is running against Democratic state Sen. Jeff Jackson for an open U.S. House seat in North Carolina's new 14th District based in western Charlotte. The left-leaning district emerged from a lengthy redistricting battle during which North Carolina redrew its congressional map to account for the additional seat it was awarded following the 2020 census.

What is Canadian Bill C-11? A breakdown for Elon Musk
Bill C-11, the Trudeau government's latest effort to curb free speech on the internet, appears to be on new Twitter owner Elon Musk's radar for the first time, after right-wing activist group Canada Proud asked the Space X founder if he would help in the fight against Liberal censorship. "First I've heard" was Musk's response to a question from Canada Proud on whether he'd join the fight. For many Canadians, just the fact that Musk is acknowledging the legislation in the slight manner that he did is reason to celebrate.

Wild winds knock out power to 300K in western Washington state
Driving back to his North Everett home from Lynnwood on Friday night, Dan Laurence was reminded of a hurricane he experienced years before in Bermuda. All the lights were out, leaves were swirling, and branches were flying through the air. When he and his wife got inside, it felt like the entire house was vibrating. On the bluff below, cedar trees were dancing around like "bed knobs and broomsticks," he said. "It was really pretty wild." Peering into the darkness, they realized the wind had uprooted an 80-year-old elm tree in their neighbor's front yard. "This huge root ball was sticking up and you could see that it was just gone," he said. "It was the healthiest and biggest elm in the neighborhood." Similar scenes played out across Western Washington as fierce winds from the season's first major storm ripped through the region, cutting power to more than 300,000 customers from the Olympic Peninsula to the Cascade foothills.

Netanyahu election victory will likely mean massive escalation in Palestine-Israel conflict
Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu is now poised to form the next Israeli government, after defeating his main opponents Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid in Tel Aviv's fifth election in only three years. However, the longest serving Israeli Prime Minister has come out at the expense of putting himself at the mercy of fanatical ultra-nationalists that may have a devastating effect on Israel itself. The former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, came out of Israel's latest round of elections with a comfortable majority over his centre-right wing adversaries, with the aid of fellow far-right alliances as part of the Netanyahu bloc. The election saw one of the highest voter turnouts, amongst the Jewish Israeli population, in years, with the election turnout reportedly surpassing the 70% point. Amongst the Palestinian citizens of Israel, voter turnout was reportedly lower than expected and resulted in only two Palestinian lists surpassing the required threshold to make it into the Knesset...

The manufactured energy crisis and the oil nationalization two-step

Here's the formal definition: An interpretive method, originally used to relate specific entities or events to the absolute idea, in which some assertible proposition (thesis ) is necessarily opposed by an equally assertible and apparently contradictory proposition (antithesis ), the mutual contradiction being reconciled on a higher level of truth by a third proposition (synthesis ). In modern politics it's used to create a false reality by asserting something that is partially true (at best) or a truth that you yourself as a person in power created. In today's case it's a manufactured energy crisis across the West.

It's also a great way to introduce yourself as the person who will end up being an albatross around the neck of a company because it shows you're exactly the kind of person who neither values money, tact or diplomacy. It also shows you're exactly the kind of potential employee who overshares their politics to the point where you'd pick fights with any person who so much as disagrees with you in the slightest, be they fellow employees, managers and over the most trivial nonsense.

Georgia won't be blue in 2022: No 'ZuckBucks' is why
Georgia received more funding from the Center for Tech and Civic Life than any other state in 2020, but now such private funding is banned. Election analysts who are attempting to predict the results of Georgia's 2022 midterm elections by scrutinizing polls and analyzing historical trends are missing the elephant that is no longer in the room. The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) will not be participating in the 2022 Georgia midterms. Georgia SB 202, signed into law on March 5, 2021, prohibits Georgia election officials from accepting private election funding, which was the basis of CTCL's notorious $330 million grant program under the guise of the Covid-19 "emergency" known as "Zuckbucks." CTCL spent $45 million building up an industrial-scale voter turnout machine for Democrats run through the election offices of counties in the greater Atlanta metro area and a handful of other deep blue Georgia counties during 2020.

Official claims Kiev preparing plan to evacuate 3 million people
Authorities in Ukraine's capital city, Kiev, are reportedly working on a contingency plan that anticipates the evacuation of approximately three million of its remaining residents, should power supply become completely cut off, a local official has told The New York Times. The article published on Saturday quoted Roman Tkachuk, the director of security for the Kiev municipal government, as having warned that the city "may lose our entire electricity system," if Russia continues striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. According to the report, Kiev authorities expect that, if worse comes to worst, they would have at least 12 hours' notice before the grid collapses completely. Tkachuk explained that if there are signs of imminent failure, "we will start informing people and requesting them to leave."

Legal loophole allows transgender criminals to hide past convictions, including when working with children
Transgender criminals could exploit a 'loophole' by withholding their birth name to hide previous convictions when applying to work with children. People who don't identify as the gender they were assigned at birth are able to withhold their previous name and their biological sex when applying for jobs in settings like schools, nurseries and hospitals. Transgender people, unlike others who have changed their names, have to personally notify officials of their past identities, a report by Keep Prisons Single Sex has found. While they are still legally required to inform the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) of their current and previous identities, the report author has told the Telegraph that it 'destroys confidence in the system' by putting the onus on the individual.

Central Banks are buying gold at the fastest pace in 55 years
Central banks globally have been accumulating gold reserves at a furious pace last seen 55 years ago when the U.S. dollar was still backed by gold. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), central banks bought a record 399 tonnes of gold worth around $20 billion in the third quarter of 2022, with global demand for the precious metal back to pre-pandemic levels. Retail demand by jewelers and buyers of gold bars and coins was also strong, the WGC said in its latest quarterly report. WGC says that the world's gold demand amounted to 1,181 tonnes in the September quarter, good for 28% Y/Y growth. WGC says among the largest buyers were the central banks of Turkey, Uzbekistan, Qatar and India, though other central banks also bought a substantial amount of gold but did not publicly report their purchases. The Central Bank of Turkey remains the largest reported gold buyer this year, adding 31 tonnes in Q3 to bring its total gold reserves to 489 tonnes. The Central Bank of Uzbekistan...

Ukrainian First Lady Zelenska ordered The Grayzone to be banned from Web Summit event
Irish media and sources close to Web Summit's CEO confirm The Grayzone was banned from the gathering as the result of a personal campaign waged by Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Grayzone was disinvited from Web Summit, a tech industry mega-event in Lisbon, Portugal this November, following a personal lobbying campaign spearheaded by Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska.
