I'll say this about CV and GLP

This covid-19 thing is like the frog you put in cold water that you slowly get hotter. At one point in time, the frog doesn't even feel that it is dying from being cooked.

Maybe they feel sorry for you?

Agree!

Perhaps they think it's better for you to come here than to use drugs and Heineken beer?

Not only are we quicker then you think, we are quicker then you can think. See the thing at the bottom of the page.

More like a month!

Ya nibbers retarded . . .

Except the MSM completely distorts or withholds the relevant facts.

Moran. you joined recently....you should have seen this place before 2008. since 2008 the internet army took over, lead by Cass Sunstien and his merry band of fucktards....

Sunstein co-authored a 2008 paper with Adrian Vermeule, titled "Conspiracy Theories," dealing with the risks and possible government responses to conspiracy theories resulting from "cascades" of faulty information within groups that may ultimately lead to violence. In this article they wrote, "The existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest, is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government's antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be." They go on to propose that, "the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups",[37] where they suggest, among other tactics, "Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action."[37] They refer, several times, to groups that promote the view that the US Government was responsible or complicit in the September 11 attacks as "extremist groups."

The authors declare that there are five hypothetical responses a government can take toward conspiracy theories: "We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. (3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories. (4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech. (5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help." However, the authors advocate that each "instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions. However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4) and (5)."

Sunstein and Vermeule also analyze the practice of recruiting "nongovernmental officials"; they suggest that "government can supply these independent experts with information and perhaps prod them into action from behind the scenes," further warning that "too close a connection will be self-defeating if it is exposed."[37] Sunstein and Vermeule argue that the practice of enlisting non-government officials, "might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts." This position has been criticized by some commentators[38][39] who argue that it would violate prohibitions on government propaganda aimed at domestic citizens.[40] Sunstein and Vermeule's proposed infiltrations have also been met by sharply critical scholarly critiques.

GLP rocks!

I'll second that statement

This virus kills old people and smokers. Sounds fine to me!

Yep. Thanks to GLP I've been following CV for more than a month. Wife turned me on to GLP years ago (15?). Thought the site was nuts and began reading for entertainment purposes only.

It only took a few news stories to figure out how to filter the bull and find myself informed before everyone else.

Me tel U -- Oil get bick sickness. We heard it here first. The middle east is getting hit pretty darn hard right now.

dumping some advice, learned from my recent sinus infection.

Self-reliance flew right out the window as I was unprepared, or relatively unprepared to deal with the circumstance when the evil sickness was in full swing, because I did not anticipate fully the extent it was able to render my mind incapacitated (although I had experienced similar in fatigue or illness before), but knowing in advance, was not enough experience to help me properly concentrate and focus. I could barely think up the terms of survival, through the waves of illness and pain. My body and mind wiped-out unable to cope or compensate, from the illness, I became impaired and did poorly and struggled to keep up the fight against the bug that was taking me out, where things I knew and looked up during the ordeal defeated my will to enact. My befuddled thoughts could not carry through to be enacted for the requisite health restoring routines necessary to maintain myself in the grip of the sickness.

And now I'm fallen and can't get up.

I also became addicted from the very first visit... just couldn't stop reading all those silly threads ... AC’s are the ones that made me fall in love with GLP.
