In The News for Monday, May 4, 2020 · The Trust Deficit. Officials who don’t trust the public to handle bad news often sugarcoat or obfuscate facts. Then, when the public senses that it’s being spun or lied to, it begins to lose faith in these officials. Disaster researchers sometimes use the phrase “elite panic” to describe cases where distrust of the public leads authorities to enact heavy-handed measures during crises.

Yesterday was
the 45th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. This is a

television and seeing North Vietnamese tanks rolling up to the Ba Muoi Ba (33)

and is now owned by Sabeco Brewery and is exported. It was referred to as Tiger

The models have been wrong, egregiously so. Does anyone care? Not the media, as it
blunts the narrative they are intent on flogging. This
press conference called by two practicing emergency room physicians has
garnered two million views on YouTube. It’s well worth watching and a real eye-opener.
If you watch it I believe you will agree that we need to bring this attempted
suicide of our economy to an immediate halt! There is no science to it. Politicians,
bureaucrats and the lamestream media need to be neutered. The last two or three
minutes of part two are very telling. Read More]

In The News for Friday, April 17, 2020 · This doesn’t fit the narrative being flogged by the press and politicians and medical establishment, which means it’s probably fairly accurate. An Israeli Mathematician, Isaac-Ben Israel, in conjunction with a fellow professor has done a statistical analysis of the Wuhan Virus data and concluded that it peaks after about 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days. Dr. Gabi Barbash, in a bitter exchange, insisted that the death toll would have been far worse had Israel not taken the steps it did, but Professor Ben-Israel insisted that the numbers speak for themselves.
