Bill Campbell,

I find many of his one-liners brilliant and funny.

It might be best to avoid sarcasm when replying to comments. There are so many people that comment here that are always quick to attack someone for expressing their thoughts -even when they’re positive.

It’s difficult to know when someone is being serious or sarcastic when you don’t know them.

Thanks for trying to bring some lightheartedness into the comments.

However, sarcasm can be hurtful. That’s how I initially took your comment, but on reflection thought you might be trying to be friendly.

“ Sarcasm, a form of verbal irony where one says the opposite of what they mean can be perceived as humorous and intelligent in certain contexts.”

Leo,

I like trying to help/influence people. We should try to bring out the best in each other. Sometimes it’s a good thing to express your feelings to someone (even strangers) that inadvertently hurt you. It might help them to become more empathetic. One never knows.

I didn’t just block Bill Campbell because upon reflection, I decided he was just making an inane joke and didn’t mean to offend me. It’s important for nice people (which I think he probably is) to understand that the written word is often perceived differently than the spoken word, and that’s why I took the time to explain my thoughts and feelings to him.

If anyone is interested in learning more about how the pandemic response was modeled after China's militarized totalitarian model here's a Foreign Affairs piece from March, 2020 declaring how superior militarized medical totalitarianism is:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200328050913/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2020-03-27/past-pandemics-exposed-chinas-weaknesses

Within that article is link to another work out of China from 2013 that I wrote about in a Stack a few years ago:

Rural Health Care Delivery

Modern China from the Perspective of Disease Politics

https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/the-devious-use-of-infectious-disease

"Disease Politics." Got it?

Unfortunately the book I link to in my Stack is no longer available online. It was taken down and put behind a paywall. But I give several chapter and subchapter titles a brief treatment that readers will see where it goes. As luck would have it, prior to its removal I did manage to save a copy of it. Very insightful. Of course I would advise others to go through the paywall to follow existing copyright protections. I am not saying I would share said .pdf via a PM if asked for it. That would be wrong of me.

My husband listens to talk radio through iHeartRadio. He said there are at least four commercials an hour, pushing vaccines, saying we eradicated these diseases, but they are in danger of coming back. They’re trying real hard, but we’re not buying what they’re selling.

fritzy_boo_boo's avatar

if you take a deep dive on vaccines and their history you realize how far that program has gone off the rails. most transmittable diseases (polio, TB, flu, pertusis) had the majority of their fatality rate drop before a vaccine was on the market. those charts are out there if you search for them. so we can be absolutely certain that vaccines did not do most of the work in these cases. the myth (high pressure sales pitch) is that they are the sole cure and if everyone doesn't get them polio will come back.

“focusing their new public vaccine messaging on: national security.”

What? They don’t know that was exactly, as so many understand now what the military operation of COVID was… and more security for who we best ask.

Sometimes I wonder how many true believers in “climate change is the greatest threat to national security” (as claimed by “our” military many years earlier) carried on with the COVID carbon reduction pandemic of “safe and effective”

Yeah that’s become a punchline 😡

I dunna, maybe what the Brits called it at the time, the War of Rebellion, is most appropriate. It conveys the right of the people to Rebel against an unjust ruler.

They are missing a great time! Their complaining makes them unable to enjoy this amazing era we are in - truly historic and potentially a watershed moment in American and world history. I don’t necessarily expect we’ll ever have another Trump-level leader again in our lifetimes but the fact is that he may have shifted the worldscape irrevocably in the last ten years anyhow. Even leaders who are not Trumpian will have to fall in line with at least some of his policies because now that the world has watched his rise, persecution and triumph (and continued courage in the face of attacks), people are unlikely to be so accepting of a lesser leader.

Janice P - Words Beyond Me's avatar

In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said,

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts,

The whole earth is full of His glory.”

And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said,

“Woe is me, for I am ruined!

Because I am a man of unclean lips,

And I live among a people of unclean lips;

For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”

I think periodic stress testing during training and/or the athletic season would be a logical and more specific next step. They’re non-invasive, inexpensive enough, and if we can have mobile mammograms, we can certainly stick a treadmill and a tech in a 53’ trailer. If it keeps one parent from burying a child, it’ll pay off.

Depends on what kind of heart disease one is trying to detect.

Also, I am sure there are false positives, as with all procedures. The risks of additional evaluation (physical, mental, emotional) for those who don't need it has to be weighed against the "if it prevents one." Because what may "prevent one" may "harm one hundred."

It’s just an EKG tracing. Leave the overthinking to me. 🤓

Besides, how many kids have been traumatized by watching the guy next to him drop dead for no apparent reason? They will probably be grateful that those supposed to be in charge of their safety are doing that much more to look out for them.

A stress test that has an abnormally will trigger more tests and possibly even heart caths. Which have significant risks.

I'm not overthinking. This is the sort of consideration that is supposed to be applied to any screening adopted for mass or widespread use in asymptomatic people.

I’m not sure. I’ve only had a couple of stress tests and have never worked in a cardiac lab. But a stress test is little more than an EKG done under increased cardiac workload (e.g., walking and then running. They’ll inject a chemical to increase heart rate if you can’t do exercise), so I doubt it.

I have had one that showed "an abnormality", which my former PCP wanted me to immediately take Lipitor. I said no and hell no to Lipitor, so he finally conceded to wait until after meeting with a cardiologist. Cardiologist did not examine me, just listened to when the stress happened, what I was doing, and what was going on in my life. Essentially stress from dealing with my death spiral depressed daughter caused the incident where I had chest pains for 2 days, nothing more. His analysis, not mine. Then he told me a stress test has a 40 % false positive, so little better than flipping a coin.

Stacy's avatar

I’m sorry about your daughter. Yes, there are a lot of false positives. I’m you refused the statin, research says that it probably buys people that have not had a heart attack four days of life. There are likely far better ways to assess cardiac risk that payers don’t want to pay for even in those with a high suspicion of disease, let alone in populations that are usually considered low-risk, like child athletes. It’s a low-risk, non-invasive way to determine which children might be at risk of fatal arrhythmias and it’s a low-cost measure that can be easily implemented by those who are entrusted with the safety of our most vulnerable, so a citizenry would be right to ask why it’s not being used. They don’t have the agency we do as adults and cannot therefore advocate for themselves as you did.

Stacy's avatar

It’s non-invasive, unlike jabs, and has been in use for decades with no residual effect, unless you know of a study. I can understand the skepticism after everything our governments have done through the plandemic but it’s because of the plandemic that our children and young people are at increased cardiac risk. DeSantis would never have been able to pass blanket legislation evaluating all children for risk of sudden cardiac death but child athletes require a higher level of care and protection by the agencies running their athletic programs, and even before 2020, there were enough tragedies to justify the additional screening measure.

And if someone just happens to cross-reference EKG data with vaccine data (both sets of information which will now be available to the state) and if that someone happens to find enough hits, then someone could happen to justify funding for studies on the effects of vaccination on cardiac health and a certain Reckoning could be brought to bear.

Just as I complained about Tucker’s recent interviews turning me off, he interviewed Secretary RFK Jr again, and it was one of his better interviews.

And more, he is busy accomplishing all kinds of things and bringing change, a step at a time, most behind the scenes. Tucker just asks questions and let’s RFK go without editorializing.

The Yemen and Iran strikes can be characterized as either criminal or well precedented, but that's not my point.

Carlson and Cruz both claim to be Christians, so mocking each other is never appropriate. Tucker behaved like an ungracious host. Characterizing AIPAC as a foreign lobbyist that owns Cruz was immature, simplistic, and dumb. Tucker is no intellectual match for Cruz who has argued nine cases before the Supreme Court. By comparison, Cruz behaved like a mature elder statesman faced with an unexpectedly childish and hostile friend and host, and he took the taunts and provocation with grace. Post interview, Tucker crowed. Cruz, like me, is probably embarrassed for Tucker.

But Cruz had another disadvantage. As an elected official in a nation designed to be Christian but hostile to that fact, Cruz would have instantly silenced Tucker and opened an unwelcome political firestorm if he had simply cited Romans 10. JMHO.

Yes, Tucker's interview was confrontational... isn't that what we expect, when Cruz fully supports the ongoing mass-slaughter of innocents (over 400,000 DEAD now) and massive land thefts...?? Tucker asked him to defend the indefensible and Cruz choked. You thing Cruz would have gained ground by bringing the Bible into it? LOL!!

This interview with Cruz, cited below was not even the one/ones I was thinking of. I did not see it. I was referring most recently to his interview with MTG. Understand, I like MTG, she minces no words, but it is Tucker’s inevitable remarks about hating DC, and that it is nothing but a Uniparty, and once again railing on baby boomers. It’s getting old because I’ve heard it more than once with Tucker. If you are going to constantly interrupt and complain, come up with some solutions.

I didn't see the full MTG interview, but I had thought they got along fine... I could be wrong. I like them both. Tucker told a lot of truth before being railroaded for it from the coward scum at Fox. Fox is another Zio-pig supporting "news" outlet... so is Newsmax, IMHO.

I don't like people ragging boomers either... I am not one, but not far from it.

Tucker's job is to give his views, sort of opinion/reporting and it is not his place to come up with solutions... that's the job of our corrupt congress and wobbly Administration... which is FAR better than Kunta-Kamala would have been, but nonetheless still has a lot of flaws. I liked Trump better in his first term. JMHO

Opinions are fine as long as they are stated as such and not gospel to everyone else. Tucker and MTG do seem to get along fine, it’s not that he was criticizing her, it’s that he felt he must voice his distaste for so many things now. We get you hate DC, but aside from fleeing it, how do we deal with the Swamp? It is an exclusive club, and saying Congress needs to make the laws is all well and good, but over the last century, the executive branch and the entrenched bureaucrats have taken over. Congress is nothing more than the money pit. There is no compromise, it is strictly partisan. How do I get Congress to listen to me? I know Tucker’s background at Fox, but in the course of a decade he has flip flopped several times. This could have been forced coercion, but now that he’s free of all of that, admit mistakes, and go forward.

I voted for Trump the first time, hoping he would do half of what he promised and I wasn’t going to vote for Hillary. He tried. The second time, we all had gone through fire, been lied to, and seen the light. The man took a bullet for us, and didn’t give up. He is unique and I support him.

Excerpt from a relevant article about RFK, Jr.:

A leaked document this week reveals how powerful pharmaceutical interests are plotting to remove RFK Jr. from office...

The aim is not to educate the public—but to “inspire and frighten” them into compliance by manipulating sentiment.

This is how the system works

This BIO memo is an inside look at how the system works. These tactics aren’t the exception, they are the playbook.

Whether it’s food, chemicals, or pharmaceuticals, the mechanism is the same: powerful industries with billions at stake, mobilising coordinated, covert campaigns to silence dissent.

They don’t need to gun you down in the street or leave a horse’s head in your bed. They just set the machine in motion. The goal is to break you from every direction—until you’re professionally, financially, and emotionally ruined.

They don’t debate you. They isolate you. They don’t refute your arguments. They delegitimise you.

Behind the scenes, it’s relentless—driven by PR firms, front groups, professional associations, and captured media...

The pharmaceutical lobby will tell you it’s all for your safety—that it’s about protecting the public from misinformation.

But the truth is, they’ve decided that dissidents like Kennedy are dangerous—dangerous to their drug pipeline, dangerous to investor confidence, and dangerous to the machinery of influence they’ve spent decades constructing.

"While it’s often mistaken as a science nonprofit or a research consortium, at its core, BIO is a trade association, representing over 1,000 pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic institutions— including giants like Pfizer, Moderna, and Gilead."

I'm glad you pointed out this distinction. We need to remember that distinction when considering the opinions and positions of other trade associations — including *all medical associations*, and the

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, which discounts the success of text-based communications methods like Spelling to Communicate. Non-speakers with autism, Down Syndrome, and other communication difficulties are learning to communicate by pointing to letters on letterboards and keyboards, yet ASHA lumps all such methods together, and claims they have been debunked, and cautions against their use. Their gatekeeping is preventing thousands upon thousands (maybe millions) of nonspeakers from accessing meaningful, robust communication, extending far beyond merely communicating basic needs or wants.

Just sent BIO an email about the leak and that we the people will stand against them at every turn. Let them know they will not use their evil machinations against us and whatever they say to do, we will do the opposite. Let them know families are for MAHA and we stand with RFK. Also told them we know jabs cause autism so the cat is out of the bag.

Missouri's is a convoluted 'foundation formula' that is heavily weighted with ADA (average daily attendance) and the enrollment number is based on number of students enrolled at some date in late September. Our city's population has grown by ~30K in the last 10 years but enrollment as of last year was down 500 students. ADA has dropped like a rock since covid. And yet, the superintendent focuses on hiring lobbyists, running his mouth at ever public forum imaginable and lobbying the school board for a property tax increase on the ballot. Complaining about the funding formula, and the 'lack of funds' even though the district's operational budget has grown by $82 MILLION in those same 10 years.

I bust my rear every year trying to help conservative school board members elected but it's an uphill battle to get people to even care enough to show up and vote. The ones who are paying attention have already pulled their kids out and just shrug.

We have SB elections every year, and city council every 2 years and Mayor every 4 years, all in April. Our county turnout for April elections is about 15% but my city (with multiple school districts on the edges, but one predominant one) has turnout ranging from 12-13% in some precincts up to 25-28% with an overall turnout average of about 19%. BUT the highest turnout precincts are also the ones who went for Biden in 2020 in Harris in 2024. Veteran door knocker, and have been out in partisan races (all local races are technically non-partisan but there is no such thing any more) and know where the liberal enclaves are. And that is where people vote in higher numbers in local elections. Thus we had 3 tax increases in 3 Aprils in a row (use tax, pot tax, and public safety sales tax) all pass by a large margin and bond issuances are a slam dunk every single time, even as people decry the massive property tax increases we have seen in the last 6 years. There is a bill in the legislature every year for the past several looking to move local elections to November to boost turnout but the last thing we need is clueless people not knowing who the conservatives are voting IMHO. The left has mastered running as mom and apple pie moderates who take a sharp left after the election. Met too many conservatives to count who admit voting for them and then have buyer's remorse. So far the bill has never made it out of committee. And it would only be effective in even numbered years since there is nothing to motivate people this November. One good thing is you wouldn't have to go door knocking in the snow if we moved from April to Nov.

I am kind of out of touch with my neighborhood - was on the board for a decade and my kids were on the swim team for many years but kids are grown and gone and in the last 7-8 years I've shifted away from neighborhood involvement to local politics, but I have noted a fair amount of turnover as long standing residents have downsized and moved out and young families have moved in. But saw a post on our neighborhood FB page by someone who just bought a house in our neighborhood looking to connect with homeschool moms. FIVE different people replied that they were homeschoolers, and one more I know of didn't comment!! This is out of 374 homes AND we live in what the PR shills call a 'destination district'. (At the very least it's not an unaccredited disaster like some in the area) Definitely gives me some hope for the future. When mine were in school (and I sadly believed the PR shills) I didn't know anyone who homeschooled in our neighborhood.

I’ll never forget the conversation I had with my girls 2nd grade teacher at their conferences. Twins born in September and I wanted them home with me another year. “Your girls are so well adjusted and smart.” Of course, we thought they were exceptional, but I then reminded the teacher that they were a whole year older than their classmates, so even though they were geniuses, haha, they were more well adjusted because they had that year on everyone else. We continued on, and said teacher then told me about the pendulum swings that went on with curriculum and methods of teaching. She said, the pendulum swings one way then the other. We’ve been on the bad swing lately, and I’m quitting after years of teaching. She was smart!

Wow, those numbers are staggering. And of course their answer is 'more government programs' We see it in our suburban relatively affluent district - funds from the state are tied to attendance and while our absenteeism % is not as high as the state average, it is higher than pre covid numbers by a sizable amount. Our district answer: hiring social workers, in school mental health services (initially paid for by a grant but no program ever goes away), chromebooks in the hands of every child (even Kindergarten!) for 'remote learning' that is destroying kid's brains and attention spans, and millions of dollars spent on DEI consultants that are rebranded as 'belonging', 'dignity' and 'capturing kid's hearts'. Plus surveys of the kids to measure their level of belonging. And all that money spent, the number of kids reporting feeling of 'belonging' has actually gone DOWN. And these consultants can tout ZERO measures that tie any of this to academic achievement. It's all feel good BS so they can waste money and tell us they are doing something.

One more reminder to get your kids OUT of public schools.

As public school teacher, my wife and I sent all 3 of our children to private Christian Schools. All 3 tried college! First 2 are business supervisors for privately owned business. The youngest went to and graduated from a private Christian college and is a supervisor for the business he did his internship at for 1 semester and the owner has made plans for ownership of said business when he retires.

He moved into the dorm and started practice with the team... never got a single chance to play, much less practice... "It's all about the older guys, some as old as 25 playing college ball." He departed after one year forfeiting his scholarship... That's college ball now. He's enrolled at a hometown community college playing lots of ball and loving it.
