Fast and Furious
Tyre, Damar & Jordan Tristan Walker
What a week….
The frenetic, always on 6 second Tik-Tok attention span of the country is being put to the test with multiple stories that would be weeks long, front-page discussion topics in an earlier era. Here’s my take on 4 of them.
While Damar Hamlin’s ‘clone’ and Paul Pelosi’s-MC Hammer duet were both big stories, the most important story of the week by far was the Project Veritas exposé of a Pfizer research executive admitting the company was doing some not so bueno things in their labs.
It’s mind boggling enough that Dr. Fauci, Pete Daszak and other biowarfare architects haven’t been frog marched to the Town Square for their tinkering and funding of Gain-of Function (GOF) experiments with the novel Sars-Cov2 virus that has led to millions of deaths and millions more secondary casualties from the experimental MRNA genetic injections, but here we’re treated to a Grindr date gone awry where Pfizer research executive Jordan Triston Walker brags about engineering more deadly viruses in house at Pfizer.
Here’s the video YouTube, Facebook and every other mainstream media channel has blackholed if you haven’t seen it.
Deep State apologists and depopulation Useful Idiots were quick to claim that Walker wasn’t actually talking about GOF . Pfizer eventually followed up with it’s own carefully worded statement (released on Friday at 5pm…a timeline that makes guilt almost certain) saying, “Of course we weren’t doing illegal, genocidal Gain-of-Function research to increase our profitability by developing new variants which we can then sell new vaccines for!” This is the old ‘Create the problem, present the solution’ gambit that has worked so well for governments and cartels in the previous decade (or centuries).
In real life, Pfizer’s explanatory press release reads more like a confession for anyone experienced at parsing legal language, “In a limited number of cases when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.” Precisely. In other words, illegal Gain-of Function.
And if the explanation was so innocuous, why did the Pfizer executive react to being caught on tape like Chris Martenson had just walked through the door with a television crew?
Indict and prosecute them all.
In a fair, just world, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, Tony Fauci and the rest of the architects of this world-destroying nightmare we are living through would already in be handcuffs awaiting their Nuremberg 2.0 trial and date night with the inevitable firing squad.
Here’s additional video of particular interest for Psych majors where Pfizer exec Jordon Triston discovers he’s on tape and goes through all 5 stages of grief and tries to destroy the producer’s iPad.
THIS is the big story of the week (month/year). Don’t lose sight of the fact that the Paul Pelosi and Tyre Nichols videos released on Friday are relatively insignificant in the scheme of things and explicitly designed to distract from this Pfizer criminal bombshell.
Paul Pelosi - Stop…Hammer Time.
Video of the October attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was finally released to the public Friday after 3 months of nonsensical delay.
The only bonafide question is, why wasn’t this video released immediately?
Was it to keep the salacious video in pocket until the Regime needed to offset something more damaging?
Was it the embarrassing prospect of seeing Pelosi in his underwear with a drink hanging out with a hammer wielding lunatic indicating that even for the rich and powerful, SF has become a cesspool of crime and mental illness?
Was it to change the focus from the bigger, more nefarious scandals including the Pfizer Gain-of-Function confession and the nonstop treasure trove drip of Biden Classified Documents?
Or is there just a presumption these days that the public isn’t entitled to ‘know’ jack sh*t? And that we citizen-subjects should be happy with whatever information our rulers deem us worthy of?
There’s zero reason video evidence of this entire debacle wasn’t released immediately.
The likely reason is that the attack took place right before the election and would have been another black eye on a political dynasty. Like the more nefarious classified documents that were seized from Biden’s house pre-election and kept quiet until afterwards, the Democrats and their water-carrying propagandists in the media will do anything to keep them in power and avoid holding them accountable.
Both of these scandals took place before the election. The public should have been given the facts and allowed to make up their own minds.
Time is of the essence when it comes to releasing sensitive information. When you wait to release a tape like the Pelosi tape or the Tyre Nichols tape, transparency takes a backseat, rumor mills run wild and trust in government dwindles. Immediate resolution is always the best policy.
To paraphrase Mike Cernovich who summed up the entire sordid episode poignantly: It’s hard to accept that Paul Pelosi, near-billionaire, husband to one of the most powerful people alive, is a drunk slob. We have a ruling regime, they aren’t elite. It’s morons all the way down. That’s why escalations with Russia should scare the shit out of you. No one coming to save you.
Damar - A MasterCourse in Losing Sympathy & Respect
One of the more interesting stories of the week has been the curious case of Damar Hamlin since his strange appearance at the Bills playoff game.
In one of the more bizarre sporting scenes I’ve seen, a hooded and masked up Damar Hamlin in sunglasses marched through the Bills locker room and then was featured during the game wearing a ‘snowstorm’ outfit in a heated luxury suite throwing up Illuminati gang signs.
While Normie Country cheered and clapped wildly, those of us who have expertly navigated a lifetime worth of lies and propaganda from the powers that be over the last 3 years instantly saw multiple red flags.
First, if you want to be identified, you don’t cover 85% of your face with a hood, mask and sunglasses and let people take a picture through a snowstorm from half a mile away. Even a 5 year old or quadruple vaccinated person would find that suspicious.
Second, here’s a guy that supposedly has multiple broken ribs from CPR when he died on the field twice less than 10 days prior throwing his hands up and waving them in the air multiple times. Anyone who has suffered a broken rib can confirm you couldn’t design a more painful action than that one if you tried.
Other questions beg.
Why didn’t the NFL give him a stage for his ‘miraculous’ return?
Why hasn’t there been a single video or message from him since his hospital release 20 days ago?
He could easily dispel all the rumors with one 10 second iphone video.
I’m not saying Damar Hamlin is dead.
But the NFL can’t get him to do a single interview?
The Buffalo Bills can’t get him to do a press conference?
And nobody in Buffalo has a single video of Damar Hamlin after he left the hospital?
Damar can’t even call into a local radio show?
He may not be dead, but he’s obviously in much worse shape than the public has been told.
The last 2 weeks are a case study in how to destroy the tremendous amount of goodwill he built up in a record amount of time. As soon as the rumors started flying over his bizarre and ridiculous appearance at the Bills playoff game, he could have acknowledged the circumstances and done the bare minimum to assure the concerns of the millions of people who cheered, prayed and donated over $10M to his charity by issuing a simple video statement.
Instead, he played a childish game of troll and tweeted out ‘Clone’ in yet another picture where he can’t be identified.
Again, I’m not saying Damar Hamlin is dead.
But I will say the conspiracy theorists are about 152-0 since it was discovered that Bill Gates and Bill Clinton visited Pedophile Island a combined 62 times.
Either way, Damar certainly has offered a master course since his hospital release in how to piss away the goodwill and love he was showered with by giving the middle finger to his supporters.
Damar, you’re either getting some really bad advice or you’re a coward. Time to set the record straight.
Biden - Another Day, Another Batch of Classified Documents
This week, a sixth trove of classified documents was discovered at another Biden unsecured location. This time, the FBI actually went in and did the search (after calling ahead of time and making sure the time was convenient for everyone) instead of allowing Biden’s lawyers to go through the docs on their own.
At this point, it seems like the strategy is to find a batch of classified docs every 4 days or so and just exhaust the public until they get so bored and sick of the story that they tune it out altogether.
It really gets more comical in an End-of-Republic tragic way every day. As I wrote about several weeks ago, the discovery of some classified documents at Trump’s Mar a Lago estate engendered a law enforcement raid on par with the one used to take down Pablo Escobar. Breathless, pearl clutching from establishment media types followed about how this was seditious, treason, felonious and darn near the greatest scandal in history (similar to the other 90 Trump ‘The Walls are Closing in’ scandals created by the same media including The Russian Collusion Hoax, Ukraine Impeachment Hoax, and so on.
Whether Biden gets impeached or convicted of the actual crime, look for more fireworks as the Regime has become accustomed to getting its way and therefore will likely attempt to cover-up the malfeasance. And as everyone including President Nixon knows, it’s not the crime (although in this case it’s pretty bad), it’s the cover-up that kills.
Between the Trump, Pence and Biden classified document scandals over the past few weeks, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Epstein client list is the only classified document still being held securely in Washington D.C.
Tyre Nichols
On Friday, the Memphis police released the video of 5 black police officers beating Tyre Nichols who eventually died from his injuries. The usual chorus of Antifa, progressive politicians and race-baiters screamed for justice and protest (despite the cops being fired and charged with murder) while falling back on the usual bromides of racism and white supremacy.
Somebody’s going to have to explain this to me like I’m vaccinated, but how is #TyreNichols being killed by black cops from a department run by a black police chief in a mostly black city governed by a black city council all about racism and white supremacy?
If you want to make it about police brutality, abuse of power, entitlement, poor training, bad culture and qualified immunity (which doesn't make sense since the officers were all fired and charged with murder - which is theoretically how the 'system' is supposed to work)...that's fair.
But white supremacy? Racism? Knee jerk platitudes from confused, race-grifting leftists who have zero rationality and are just looking looking for narrative continuity and an excuse to break stuff (and people).
One Year Ago Today
The following is as valid today as a year ago when I first posted it (or 18 months ago when I made the same points…):
Cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug…
If there's one lesson those duped should learn it's that
Credentialism matters less than real world results & track record.
Public health experts & doctors were almost 100% embarrassingly wrong for this entire crisis, while money managers, entrepreneurs, Twitter sensemakers and independent researchers like Alex Berenson, BoriquaGato and Eugyptius have been spot on and months (if not years) ahead of the curve.
Warped institutional incentives for sensemaking and pursuit of truth plus a lack of ‘skin In the game’ doomed our professional managerial class from the start.
Having significant skin in the game matters, whether it is reputational or financial.
Forced Institutional compliance means doctors can say, “Yes, the vaccine is safe and effective and you should definitely vaccinate your 12 year old" despite reams of data saying the opposite and not lose their job.
OTOH, expressing vaccine skepticism based on rushed trials and real world data gets punished with loss of license and other threats.
Forced consensus and compliance is NEVER a good mechanism for the pursuit of truth.
So going forward, what are some other approaches we can embrace to mitigate some of the massive damage that public health experts, doctors, journalists and uncritical citizens have caused?
Here’s a few sensemaking tactics to add to your arsenal:
Cultivate a better information diet. This is the granddaddy of them all. In today's polluted information environment, it's become more critical than ever to seek out higher quality sources of information (minority reports) and strategically disconnect from nodes that are no longer useful. The quality of your life is at least partly based on the quality of the questions you ask yourself. And you can't ask or answer high value questions when your information is rancid. If you're relying on CNN, MSNBC and other hyper-partisan clickbait infotainment as your primary sources, you've taken yourself out of the game before it even got started.
Examine the financial & other incentives behind the decisions/propaganda. Regulatory capture is rampant. Understand it to understand why institutions have lost trust and are failing.
Embrace a Scout Mindset: Julia Galef’s excellent book can be summed up in one sentence, "Seek to prove your thesis wrong rather than looking for information to prove yourself right." The human brain/ego is masterful at rationalizing evidence to support its case. Instead, approach it from the opposite side. Charlie Munger's Inversion thinking is another useful tool.
Revisit and test your thesis often, especially where the data and facts are fluid. As Paul Samuelson once famously responded, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"
Presume they’re lying. Whether BLS statistics or CDC data, the government and it’s media PR cheerleaders have numerous political and financial reasons to lie to you. And they never pay a price when caught so there’s no reason to stop. These sociopaths are not your friend.
Act accordingly.
“Justice”
Not to be bitter, but occasionally there are criminal justice moments that leave me scratching my head. For instance, the attorney who firebombed a police car during the BLM Riots of Summer 2021 was just sentenced to 1 year in prison. That’s not a typo. One year. For throwing a Molotov Cocktail at a police car.
If you recall, I was given 30 months in prison as a 5th hand tippee on a stock tip where I made $16K. To put it in financial terms, this seems a bit of a justice duration mismatch, but what do I know.
Then again, at least I didn’t wear a Buffalo hat and face paint while entering the Capitol. That poor sap got sentenced to 4 years. Maybe next time he’d be better off tossing a ‘mostly peaceful’ Molotov Cocktail at the FBI Building…
What I’m Reading….
Apparently scientists have created the T1000. What could go wrong?
Novak Djokivic for the Win
Good luck to Djokivic in today’s Australian Open final. As I wrote several weeks ago, he would be my nomination for Athlete of the Year. In a time when athletes like Lebron sell their souls to China and for endorsement deals on a daily basis, Djokivic stood by his principles and risked tremendous personal and professional suffering, monetary and reputational damage to defend his personal autonomy and liberty. Get em’ Novak! Bring the trophy home for the good guys.

That’s it for this week folks. Hope you enjoyed and be sure to forward to a friend.

"Cultivate a better information diet.", but then re-posts a series of weekly social media cartoon memes as trustworthy information?
"Examine the financial incentives" says an online blogger who sells subscriptions to a conspiracy peddling newsletter and success coaching? Examine the financial incentives, indeed.
The Pelosi attacker believed a bunch of crazy conspiracy theories that the alt right has put out there, and now the same people have been calling him a gay prostitute, and a jilted lover, and a false flag, etc.. So when he realizes this, will he also believe these conspiracy theories about himself?
