Covid - They Were Wrong


In a nutshell:

We were right.

The Big Bang Goes BANG!

I've been waiting for years for the launch of the new space telescope so that science could finally give evidence of the complete failure of the "Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe.

Well, the wait is over:

James Webb Telescope's Discovery of Galaxies That Shatters the Big Bang Theory

What can I say other than it's gonna take a lot of ink to undo all the damage that theory has done to the reputation of the fine art of "science".

Update 8/27/22

One of my favorite space experts on YouTube took on the challenge of defending the Big Bang Theory in light of this new claim. My own impression of his defense is that he is not very convincing in that he seems unwilling to give any credit to the observation that the distant galaxies are more developed than Big Bang theory predicts. I am especially confused by the claim he makes at 12:18 which seems to contradict the new observations that he has just finished admitting.

Anyway, to be fair to "science", check out the defense against these newest observations:

Did James Webb Prove Big Bang Theory Wrong? Here Are The Facts

Something fishy is going on here and it looks a lot like what has come to be known in this modern age as "science". Defending scientific dogma in the age of discovery isn't easy and isn't pretty.

Now it is entirely possible that I am going way out on a limb here. Maybe I am just too uneducated to have an opinion. But then again, maybe scientists have been caught with their pants down by predicting that the James Webb telescope would show proof of an important "fact" that it in fact disproved and scientists are fudging it. I tend to think that scientists have been fudging it for decades because telescopes keep forcing them to explain why the universe is so much larger than science can rationally explain based on the Big Bang Theory.

Theory, once it becomes dogma, is hard to erase when it is shown to be mistaken. This fact is science's Achilles heel.

JOHN SOLOMON: Memos Reveal Biden White House Worked Directly with DOJ, National Archives to Instigate Criminal Investigation into Trump’s Handling of Documents

It amazes me how many parallels are turning up between the new FBI stink against Donald Trump and the old one (Russia Collusion in 2016).

Covid - The New Vaxxers' Dilemma

It's been awhile since I last did a Covid update. In our panic we somehow convinced ourselves that the enemy, the real threat, was those among us who did not trust the experimental Covid vaccines so we went about discriminating against anybody who refused to comply with the demand for everybody to get vaccinated and boosted. Even when the news broke that the vaccines seemed to allow us to catch Covid and spread it we still continued the discrimination against and we still continued the villainization of the unvaccinated.

Now comes this news:

Study: Vaccinated 5X More Contagious Than the Unvaccinated 10 Days After SARS-CoV-2 Infection

This news might not make sense to you, but it makes perfect sense to me. The idea that the vaccines might contribute to the pandemic is old news to those who have been paying attention.

For Love of a Seaplane

Give Her Wings Canada 150

It absolutely amazes me what people will go through to save old airplanes, especially 
World War II vintage military planes. My home town hosts an annual seaplane fly-in that has, over the years, proven my point not only with WWII era flying boats but with the legendary one-and-only DC-3 on floats and, for a few years, hosting representatives of the group that salvaged Glacier Girl, a P-38 lost and buried for decades in the Greenland ice.

This morning, YouTube sent me a link to a channel I hadn't been aware of before:

Save the Canso

May the force be with them!

Alex Jones and the Conspiracy Theory Conundrum

The verdict against Alex Jones last week should serve as a time stamp in Internet history, being the point in time where Internet censorship hit the mainstream. Infowars may indeed be able to raise the funds to cover the damages, but few other Internet content providers have that financial capacity.

But there's another side to the Alex Jones story that you will never hear about in the mainstream media, a conundrum of opposing subliminal forces working to suppress the public faith in the act of truth seeking.

Here's a good explanation of that conundrum that I came across this morning:

Alex Jones, Cass Sunstein, and "Cognitive Infiltration"

I found that this article triggered a certain tolerable amount of cognitive dissonance for me and I was surprised by the unanticipated surprise ending but the article expands on something that has troubled my mind for years and finally came to a head during the rise and fall of QAnon. What if right-wing conspiracy theory were being sabotaged deliberately by elements within the government? What would that look like and what would be the effect?

I mean, it's not as if the government has nothing to hide!
