This is unlikely to have been produced by Trump but he clearly liked it enough to share it on his Truth Social. The objective was probably to cause Lefties to lose it and some took the bait. 🙂
Underlying profit up 8%, revenue up 18%, assets up 16%, development margin 29% — good for its shareholders, but they still complain about Kapiti council developer fees! Kapiti is an area that they (and similar property development businesses) are attracted to because of the high percentage of retired people, especially in Waikanae and Paraparaumu.
Their Park Avenue village hasn’t been popular in Waikanae, particularly since they asked for and got the closure of the nearby Recycling facility in 2022 and an access route through the main street of the Ferndale subdivision which locals opposed back in 2020. And there is the general issue of congestion and strain on public infrastructure.
Eva and I did this in May last year. St Louis is America’s 20th biggest city, but in the evening the Downtown is almost deserted, like Taihape on a Sunday afternoon.
The Ferris wheel is part of the redeveloped St Louis Union Station, now a hotel and entertainment area. Today’s Amtrak station is about a mile away.
We stayed in the hotel on the right; at $US 139 for two including breakfast and tea, plus 5 drinks at the bar we thought it was quite good value.
The same location about 2 hours later.
The entrance to St Louis Union Station hotel.
The St Louis Opera with a bear statue in the immediate foreground. In the distance is the famous St Louis Gateway Arch.
The Soldiers War Memorial and Military Museum
The City Hall on the right and the court building across the street.
A runner statue and fountain with constant changing colours. We wondered if any Wokeist implication is intended.
Just like with Covid, they’re counting all deaths as bird flu, “Every time a bird dies, they say bird flu. I’m telling you, they’re bullshitting you.”
“I’m a chicken farmer and they are bullshitting you about the reasons why your eggs are so expensive.”
“They say the same shit every year. I know it ’cause I’m a chicken farmer. I see the same alerts. When you look at these large facilities, a lot of these birds aren’t dying of bird flu. They are dying of neglect.”
“They don’t give the vegan vitamins, oregano, all the supplements they are supposed to be getting in these mega facilities and these birds are dying of disease and neglect and every time and every time a bird dies, they say bird flu.
There’s absolutely nothing to fear except fear itself. Familiar ring, eh?
Do remember, a century of published clinical experimentation has failed to demonstrate that, whatever the causes of acute respiratory illnesses, they are NOT CONTAGIOUS.
In no case, when a healthy person (“recipient”) was asked to remain in close proximity for hours to a person unwell with such an objectively determined illness (“donor”), like we used to use to decide if someone is unwell, did the recipient healthy person go on to develop the same symptoms.
Just to be clear, we mean here “the recipient people didn’t develop similar symptoms to those of the donor people at a frequency greater than when two healthy people shared the same space for the same period of time”.
They sought evidence of transmission, aka contagion, and failed to find it, study after study, from 1918 to the present day.
Some investigators very recently made the same kind of attempt to see if healthy recipients would “catch covid19”, whatever it was that had caused the donors here to be unwell. In that study, too, the healthy recipients did not become unwell.
I recognize that many people will reject this evidence. They’ll cast around for reasons why the conclusions must be invalid. They do that because many people are “sure” that they’ve definitely “caught” colds or the flu from sick people or that they’ve “infected” others in the same manner.
I confess I struggled with this at first, dismissing what I was being told out of hand. I did so because i, too, “knew” that in the past, I’d “caught” colds from others.
The evidence shows that this doesn’t happen.
That then simply invites us to find other explanations for our strong sense that contagion in relation to acute respiratory illnesses does happen.
Do note I’m not commenting on contagion generally. Right now, I suggest we focus only on the type of illness being used to crush our freedoms and medical autonomy. Diversionary discussions aren’t helpful.
As a scientist, I’ve explained before that one is in no way obligated to provide a new hypothesis while invalidating a current one, now shown to be in discord with a mass of empirical evidence.
However, it might be helpful in making a mental transition to be aware of some possible alternative explanations.
1. Acute respiratory illnesses are really quite common. I experience a couple of colds annually. Flu, rarely, only 3 times in my life. Being commonplace, consider how likely it is that you might develop a cold over the next couple of weeks. It’s not that low a probability. If you do, you’ll cast your mind back. If you recall a person with similar symptoms, you may well conclude you caught it from them. How many occasions did you have such encounters, yet not go on to develop a cold? It would be fair to ask that question. I think we rarely notice when we don’t “catch a cold”. Here, the explanation proposed is coincidence of two, not uncommon things.
2. People do become unwell with acute respiratory symptoms. There’s no argument against that, only it’s cause. Whatever the cause is, imagine there’s an environmental or other shared component (like diet, or even genetics). You develop a cold and someone you live with or work with shortly afterwards also goes down with a cold. While it’s entirely understandable that you both conclude it was passed between you, here I’m proposing that you both developed the same kind of illness because of shared environmental factors.
3. We’ve this mental model of causation of acute respiratory illnesses. We’re told they’re due to submicroscopic, infectious particles called “viruses”. But if they’re not the cause, what might be? I confess I do not know. However, I laid out a decent length hypothesis a while ago on this channel. Essentially, a derangement of regulation of airway surface liquid and associated mucus and the mucocilary escalator mechanism which, among others, keeps your airways in good order.
Changes in temperature, humidity, various solutes and salts, are hypothesised to trigger an inflammatory response & it’s this that we notice as “a cold”. In this hypothetical model, if you’re run down, stressed and don’t have time to attend to your bodily clues and cues, you’re more likely to develop all sorts of syndromes.
Anyway, bottom line is, you’re being lied to about chicken influenza. Ditto cow flu. Just laugh at them and point out to others, this sounds the same sort of lying & catastrophising that we heard in early 2020.
It was mad and illogical for the events that followed to have happened. None of it happened by luck. There was an agenda to amplify whatever it was for malign motives.
The same thing appears to be happening again. Oddly enough, it’s precisely the same cast of characters as last time.
The WHO is now putting out a serious warning that its largest global laboratory network is on the brink of collapsing due to the USA recently pulling out of the organization.
Recently, I reported on how the USA was pulling out of the World Health Organization and how Matteo Salvini of Italy wanted to follow suit.
Now it seems to be having the effect, as the WHO is struggling with funding.
The network led by the WHO is called Global Measles and and Rubella Laboratory Network, known as Gremlin, has some 760 labs all around the world. Why would they call it ”gremlin”? What a weird name…
It turns out the network got a whole lot of money from the USA to be able to operate and got around $8 million from taxpayers in the USA every year.
So what do they do at this ”Gremlin” network?
Well, they focus on detecting measles and rubella, but they also work with ”pandemic preparedness” to detect things such as covid, monkeypox and bird flu.
”The network is at risk of collapse unless alternative funding is identified” said Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for the WHO.
It campaigned on stopping mass immigration and the deportation of illegals — now it won’t be doing that. What you get with the establishment parties, which may as well be called the Uniparty, you get the same thing with all of them.
Meanwhile the conservative-libertarian AfD, backed by key members of the Trump administration like JD Vance and Elon Musk, did best in down-market deprived areas, including all of what was East Germany. Hmm.
In the U,S, House Republicans are getting an update on the Trump administration’s probe of billionaire George Soros’ influence on local radio, a source familiar with planning told Fox News Digital.
The Republican Study Committee (RSC), the 175-strong caucus led by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, is hosting Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr at its annual closed-door lunch on Wednesday.
The source familiar with the planning said Carr is expected to brief GOP lawmakers on the FCC’s investigation into Soros, including an investment firm he’s linked to purchasing over 200 Audacy radio stations nationwide…
There needs to be a probe into who Soros has funded in NZ also. Soros paid Antifa to riot in America in mid 2020; has he funded them and their lackeys here?
