One of the minor stories that symbolized the way a faceless bureaucracy can terrorize normal people doing nothing harmful while ignoring the real problems is the story of PNut the squirrel being killed....
But since the election, it seems that the world is upside down, and things are changing. Hence the meme:
From that nasty modern Jeremiah Ann Barnhart.
so anyway, there seems to be pushback against this power grab, and it is coming from the grass roots, not from the experts.
So will this result in the US cleaning up their house? Or will the MSM manage to destroy those trying to overturn what is called the Deep state?
I am old enough to remember the Church committee, when this was a Democratic issue, and the problem of the FBI infiltrating anti war groups and environmental protests was a problem.
but this power grab is not limited to the unelected bureaucrats in the USA: the international types are involved.
One reason for Brexit was that the European Union officials decided to regulate tea kettles in the UK. Alas the latest UK PM hasn't learned his lesson, and the farmers is acting up, led by a guy whose farm show opened the eyes of a lot of folks to how regulations make it difficult for farmers to grow food
(and given how the EU and others are busy destroying farms under the guise of a global warming treaty, this is not the only farm protest in Europe).
the way that Covid was used to limit people's freedom while covering up the source of the virus is a story breaking out of the censorship borg.
so was Ecohealth funding viral gain of function research in China? Attention: Stopping them from getting money from the HHS won't work
I say this because some of these biolabs, such as one that they tried to build here in the Philippines, are funded by the US Dept of Defense
why? to "REDUCING THE THREAT OF VIRAL SPILLOVER FROM WILDLIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES".
Luckily one of our Solons noticed the source of funding was the DoD and not a health agency, and stopped this biolab from being built,
but you know, there is a need for biolabs, but after the WUHAN debacle, one does wonder about these things.
(the WMD of Saddam Hussein were things like biolabs and insecticide factories, both of which could easily be weaponized. But why would the US Dept of Defense want to seek out pathogens in the Philippines? We had an oubreak of Ebola Reston in our local pig farms awhile back, and foot and mouth disease and other pathogens are a danger to the food supply, but one still worries about seeking out germs to weaponize them.)
the covid response is now being recognized as a way to shut down the economy and to limit free speech...the problem was not the initial response: Yes, like in flu season localized shut downs etc might be warranted, but when we couldn't even deliver rice to Manila for a year without getting our drivers a 30 dollar test for covid, you can see the problem.
so the lesson was learned, right?
Right?
Whoops.
There is a treaty being "negotiated" for the WHO to gain power to order every government to obey them when the next epidemic hits.
Lots of talk about that on conspiracy sites. But do you trust them?
maybe tit is time to reform that office too
hopefully placing new leaders in charge of health might improve things.
and then we have the repeated claims of Russia gate: Which was later discovered to be a plot by Hillary to destroy Trump, yet no one behind this fake story has been punished.
and the lies continue. And the reason I mention Russiagate lies is this Question: How much of the pushback against Tulsi Gabbard is because she investigated the biolabs in the Ukraine?
well someone needs to monitor biolabs.
Yes they are needed in places where animal pathogens are a danger. But why is this being done by the US Dept of Defense?
Like Sadam's WMD, the dirty little secret is that biolabs can quickly develop bioweapons... and usually US citizens have trusted the government agencies to do this. But after hiding the origin of the Covid virus, that trust is eroding.
Hence the reason that Trumpiboy is appointing a sceptics to run these agencies.
Some of the gain of function research is needed to figure out if a pathogen might morph into an epidemic. But the lesson of Wuhan virus is that labs leak.
In Wuhan, the US NIH was hiding their involvement by channeling the money through a non government agency like EcoHealth
But who is investigating these labs when the funding is coming from the Dept of Defense?
No, not Wuhan Lab (that money was from the NIH via Ecohealth, in order to hide that it was funding gain of function research that is forbidden in the USA)
but I am talking about the attempt to fund a biolab
and no, not the involvement of the Dept of Defense in the biolabs of the Ukraine. Long nuanced discussion of that here.
But what about here in the Philippines?
the US Dept of defense money sent to EcoHealth to look for animal pathogens that might be a spillover into humans. One of our Senators stopped that, but with Marcos being so friendly with the US, one does worry.
