1. Practice of culling (mass destruction of entire healthy flocks) when a PCR test is found positive to “eradicate” the virus is futile and may work to constrain the food supply. The current strain H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4.b is not thus far causing necropsy or radiographic confirmed fatal pneumonia in birds or mammals.
2. H5N1 host range expansion into migratory birds and mammals likely occurred as a result of gain-of-function serial passage research and a lab leak.
3. Increased transmissibility of H5N1 has a tradeoff of decreased virulence. Using legacy human mortality rates from cases in Southeast Asia is not appropriate. The US has never had a fatal human case of bird flu.
4. Fear-mongering promulgated by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is designed to promote mass vaccination of animals and humans with lucrative pre-purchased contracts to the vaccine manufacturers and their NGO backers. Mass vaccination into a highly prevalent pandemic since it promotes resistant strains of the virus in the vaccinated.
5. If human-to-human spread occurs in the future as expected by many, it will be the product of gain-of-function research that has gone on for years with the goal of creating harm to human populations.
6. Be prepared with early prevention and treatment strategies on hand.
Here's a list compiled by Open Source Defense:
Repeal Bush 41’s assault weapon import ban
Redefine “armor-piercing ammo” to re-allow banned ammo types
Redefine 922(r) out of existence
Bring back kitchen table FFLs, and make a new internet-sales FFL (this is in the 2017 ATF white paper)
Repeal the photos and fingerprints parts of ATF Rule 41F (an Obama-era rule change), so that trusts don’t need photos and fingerprints for their members. (Careful here: Rule 41F also changed “you need CLEO approval” to “you just need to notify your CLEO, but they can’t stop you” — that was a very important positive change to keep.)
Expansive allowance for pistol braces. Make it official that anything goes.
Grant a blanket lawful purposes exemption for gun possession to people in the country on nonimmigrant visas (tourists, students, etc.)
Machine gun amnesty
Presumptive approvals for Form 1s and Form 4s. They approve it instantly, and then can claw it back ...
“It is impossible to maintain an integrated multivalent society once neighbors start kidnapping each other's children and murdering them with hand drills, blowing up each other's cultural events, slaying each other's teachers and religious leaders and tearing down their icons. Crucially, it is soberingly worth noting, moreover, that plenty of instances of all those things have occurred already in the West, and all of them have occurred in France alone in the last five years.”
David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London.
Dr. Betz does not mention crimes of rape, perhaps because in France it is so enormously underreported. Only ~6% of victims report to authorities, because of fear of being blamed and charged with Islamophobia or other “hate crime.” Based on these few reported accusations, rape by migrants in France exceeds 10,000 cases in the last five years. Multiply that by the 94% non-reported cases. Sometimes there are witnesses. In ...
The theologian Robert Dabney, in writing against public education, claimed that the half-educated man is worse than the man without any education, for the latter at least knows his ignorance and will look to his betters humbly for guidance, whereas the former thinks he’s educated and proceeds without caution into abject foolishness.
Fast, dumb AI catering to the impatient risks creating a society of not half-educated but entirely pseudo-educated people whose self-appraisal of what they know will reach historic lows proportional to what they actually know.
