A Study in Futility
OK This will be a long ramble but to me this is a very important situation to contemplate and or discuss.
Please Check your Biases at the Door and follow me down this rabbit Hole for a bit .
This comes under the category Searching for the “Unbiased Island of Truth in the Sea of Disinformation “.
As many here have come to know this website has recently morphed somewhat to include discussions on Covid-19 .
We are discussing this OFF market hours so as not to detract from the main purpose of this website …
Making money in the markets …particularly the Precious Metals Markets.
What I am trying to promote here is an unbiased discussion where everybody with preconceived ideas based on their political leanings and religions leanings can discuss this obviously important topic with dignity and respect for other views . Thus the title above . 🙂
…………….
1…I received this video in an Email from a member here who views the world similarly to what I do.
I was reluctant to view it as it likely goes against what I believe from my personal experiences …however I decided to open up and hold my nose and listen to this Osteopathic Physician named Rashid Buttar. He is obviously very angry and emotional and this detracts from his message IMHO BUT If what he is saying here is true then we are all SCREWED sans a very Painful and Bloody revolution .
The Video is presented by a new news network called “Next News” ( searching the net for it’s credentials it is a Right Wing network)
BUT what really pissed me off and caught my attention is that Jim …who sent me the original link to this interview on U tube ..emailed me the next day that this link was deleted by utube citing breach of their rules. in effect “CENSORSHIP “. This on the heals of a UTUBE censorship of the 2 California Doctors who presented their opinion regarding re opening the economy…This is an outrage for main stream news outlets to censor Opinions like this. So far this new link via next news network is still online.
Now let me be clear here…and this may tick some of you off…I reserve the right to delete any material or posts here that I feel don’t serve the general purpose nor fit in with my personal view of what this website should be . That’s just the way it is.
As one of 2 partners who own and run and pay for this free website I reserve the right to steer the discussion in a direction the I believe serves the greater good. However if we ‘censor” any content here it does not deprive anyone of receiving the information as you can always find what you are looking for elsewhere on the www.
OK…so here is the video..My first reaction was yikes another grand Right wing Conspiracy theory.
Which IMHO are rampant and mostly nonsensical bordering on idiotic.
However after watching it all i am giving it a lot more space and potential credence.
Warning : its 45 minuets and tends to be excruciating .
here is what the MSM Doesn’t want to see the light of day.
…………………
So Now we come to the dilemma we all face when we get “information” like this which seems plausable depending on our own personal bias.
…..
2…Who is This Guy ?
Wikipedia :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_Buttar
OK now is Wikipedia an unbiased source ?
…Whoever wrote this “Bio” sure slanted it in a very negative way.
Are they just part of the MSM who are out to destroy the reputations of anyone who would dare to question the Big Party Line ?
Or is this a legitimate and honest and fair assessment of this guy and his career ?
…..
3…The Wikipedia Article cites some “disreputable” medical associations who Dr. Buttar is associated with
one of them for an example
sounds legit if you go to their website..and they have many members throughout the world…obviousy NOT associated with Main Stream Medicine ( ie “Medical Doctors”) who are seemingly against any organization who views medicine differently from them and who are obviously the Top Dogs in this battle
of medical practice and by far hold the most credibility with the general population..
ie…is he a “Real” Doctor or is he a Natropathic , Chiropathic , Osteopathic , Podiatric doctor ( ie inferior)
…..
4…The Wikipedia article directs you to a website called Quackwatch …which purportedly tells you if a certain medical discipline or doctrine is “reputable and legitimate” or NOT
Obviously this website is Pro Main Stream Medical Doctors and Anti everything else as proven by their very negative and scathing commentary on Chiropractic ( I personally have had great results and strongly believe in Chiropractic)
Just look at the Titles in this list to see what I mean
https://quackwatch.org/?s&_sf_s=chiropractic
Another tenticle of the Main Stream Octopus ?
……………
5….Here is an antivax article which has been attacked by quackwatch which seems like a proponent for the CDC and WHO
They were livid that Delta Airlines aired this piece on their flights and are working to put pressure on Delta to remove this information…more censorship.
https://quackwatch.org/health-promotion/immu/delta/
6….On the other hand there are a lot of crazy and dangerous right wing nuts conspiracy theories that are just as dangerous as this seemingly ubiquitous censorship campaign by the left leaning PTB.
Seriously crazy shit from Chemtrails to massacre denials to Lizard People and anything in between.
So what is an unbiased researcher to do ?
7….I don’t know do you ?
Have you clicked on the video that you just posted? CENSORED NOW!
Censorship IS bad! Trump Moves to Replace Watchdog Who Identified Critical Medical Shortages :
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-moves-to-replace-watchdog-who-identified-critical-medical-shortages/ar-BB13uLtH?li=BBnb7Kz
And because this story is from MSN and New York Times you are assured that this is an unbiased newsworthy story? OK. Sure.
The story is either true or not. The slant can be biased or not, but the facts should be readily apparent.
I would post the article from FOX, but there is none that I can find. I do realize how most folks here only read/believe FOX or OAN, so I try and post titles from there.
“The slant can be biased” Do you think? In a free society the news media must only present the facts. All the facts. Let the reader decide. Media must not tell the audience what to think and how to think. Do we KNOW that we have been presented with all of the facts? Was this employee just another Obama hangover who is now one of the many “No Trumpers”. What we need is to get James Comey back in office so that we can have an unbiased FBI investigation into this matter.
James Comey, unbiased? Now that’s funny.
YouTube is a Google product. Have you noticed that EVERYTHING on google news is left-wing. You will not see anything on google that is fair-minded and certainly not anything that is favorable to the right. (Come on now Fully…. you are preaching to us to leave our biases at the door) I guess Google sees your video as too right wing.
EVERYTHING?
Google News coverage of Science in the last several years is Right Wing, not Left.
Its SCIENCE coverage is almost exclusively about SPACE and related topics, which is a right-wing agenda.
There has been almost NOTHING reported about the hundreds of other real Science topics in the last 3 years.
I thought censorship was a good thing. After all, there has to be one truth, and the left establishes that, so what’s the problem. Differing views are dangerous, counterproductive, and lead people in directions that are not approved. It’s all about trust. We trust only one side to give you the truth, so that side has to be right. There is no in between. Remember that, and you’ll be far happier. 1984 was pure propaganda from the right. Such a world could never be.
Yes! I hear you. Well said.
2 + 2 = 5. hydroxychloroquine good because it came from fox/trump. Remdesivir bad because is comes from Fauchi.
Exactly…now we need to get past all this and come together.
Divide and conquer is a real thing going on here.
Fully, you said: “Right wing Conspiracy theory. Which IMHO are rampant and mostly nonsensical bordering on idiotic.” And you said it right after saying “Please check your biases at the door” Uhmm. ???
Hey that’s not a bias that’s a fact…I have studied many of these wing nuts conspiracy theories enough to have an unbiased opinion. Bias is when you walk in to a situation with an iron clad opinion before you even study it.
🙂
I also said this exercise ” A Study in Futility” …It’s pretty hard to do PK..and for certain YOU can not do it
🙂
This is serious shit going on where they keep censoring this video.
let each of us decide if it’s believable or not
Censoring like this tells me it’s true !!
Sometimes all you need is common sense and a good helping of knowledge. You seem to have both, Fully. Call them as you see them.
I’ve had my own doubts about this situation from the beginning. It came from watching governments and media, including social media, falling into line immediately as if an order from above had been issued. It all seemed too pat as though it had been planned. The fact that 5G was being installed at the same time and that the debt problem was already rampant made me more suspicious. I’ve not been able to say with absolute certitude that it is part of the NWO’s plan to take complete control, but I am trying to keep an open mind. When videos are banned like these, it makes me more wary of what is going on.
Thanks Norwegian..I am trying to present this Right Wing “Theory” so each can decide if it has merit…but some cannot focus on just that.
Here are a couple antidotes from here in the state of Washington.
Our governor shut down most of the state, EXCEPT for all the grocery stores, Walmart, Costco,
Lowe’s, Home Depot and a whole host of other mostly Big Box stores. He shut down most of the small businesses where much of the economic harm was done. The little guys can’t take much loss.
Ironically, in my custom woodshop, I was able to keep working and also very ironically, all my customers wanted me at their home finishing they’re job! LOL!
What I don’t get in all this is how all these Big Box stores could stay open but a golf course can’t?
Or a sand and gravel business? AND a ton of others where there is little if any interaction with the public?
I was sharing this with a couple of small business owners today and they all agreed.
How is it Costco can be full of people running around like a bumper car arena and we can’t, having so little contact with anyone?
My answer is that our governor is an idiot.
I don’t know if I buy so much of the conspiracy stuff and just plain stupidity.
If everything works from the top down? Enough said!
You can be one funny guy, Fully. There is no such thing as “unbiased.” We all bring a closely held world view whether we admit it or not to reading and viewing anything. It colors our world top to bottom. The only thing that can dramatically change our closely held worldview is a dramatic refutation of the core beliefs supporting that worldview.
With that in mind, there is no reason one cannot read, watch and listen to a variety of opinions or “news sources” and consider them for their worth and which blend of information best lines up with one’s worldview. That is called critical thinking – a rare commodity at any time, but exceedingly so in todays topsy-turvy world.
I often get asked “what news sources do you rely on?” Ha. If there was only some way to explain it all. First, I have no “news sources.” News, or the press, has jettisoned it’s position as the fourth estate long ago, and has simply turned itself into a fear-mongering mess. A sad thing to witness, but what is known as “the press” has ceased to be a source of information and facts. It is all agenda driven.
My sources for information is about as eclectic as one can get. Much of what impacts us most via information channels I find on this forum and other blogs and forums. I lean towards what reliable financial information there is, and it is scarce. I figure the most important stuff going forward is financial – the underpinnings of civilization. Of all the things God hates, He is most adamant biblically regarding honest weights and measures. Without that, nothing works right, and eventually implodes.
Financials also ties in with “follow the money.” Hardly a thing happens today without being driven by a greed and profit (whether ill-gotten or not.)
As usual, with this particular strain of flu, our political establishments and the press have elected to tell us what to do and how to live. It is what they exist for. There is not but one in a hundred (okay, maybe two or three) in politics that is not motivated by power, control, and personal greed. It is therefor easy to lump Covid 19 in with the “hoax” classification.
,
I would lean towards doing so because of two inconvenient facts: first, the immediate assumption of power and control by national and state and city governments which in almost all instances exceeds their mandate and lawful powers; and two, the expenditure of vast sums of imaginary money into the hands of the most powerful and the most wealthy.
Of course, there are other factors one can bring into alignment with such a conclusion: the intentional misclassification of causes of death (ongoing), the contradictory selection of businesses allowed to be open/forced to close, the flip-flopping of information about said virus, the ignoring of data that refutes the declared “pandemic” (ongoing), and simple straightforward logic that suggests there are bigger things happening behind the scenes (also ongoing and never-ending.)
At the end of the day, it matters not what your opinion is regarding this virus. What matters is, are you able to profit from it or not? Are you capable of seeing financial reward opportunities within the chaos? Can you anticipate the consequences for what has been inflicted on our societies, economies, and financial fields? Do you recognize the hoaxes within hoaxes that have unfolded before our very eyes the last eight weeks?
If you can get at least half of the above on your radar screen it is possible to not only protect yourself financially, but also to reap great profit.
Other than taking to the streets (the most likely scenario longer term) and worrying myself into a tizzy, there is not much I can do about this flu virus. It is a flu, you know. On that point everyone agrees. If I am worried about catching it myself, there are simple things to be done to reduce the chance of immediate infection. But eventually (I am told) we will all “get” Covid 19. Most will be asymptomatic as has already statistical been shown. What is key is, will I get sick with Covid 19. Personally, I am not worried about that, and don’t waste any time nor energy thing about it.
What is most newsworthy and also most worthy of thinking about, pondering, and taking action on, is the misallocation of financial resources in the U.S. Understanding that, and the implications for investing, risk-avoidance, and personal and family survival going forward is tantamount.
The only country in the history of the world founded on the idea of personal freedom and liberty is being led through the slaughter house with nary a whimper. Paper wealth is being strip-mined from main street to Wall Street and to Congress. Matters not what the virus does, or how it will be remembered. But the financial raping does matter a huge amount to all.
Get right, sit tight. The great unraveling is proceeding with or without you.
Oh, shoot. I forgot to mention golf. Golf is way more important than Covid 19. Golf. The game of life. One shot and the heavens open and all is right with the world. Another shot and the gates of Hades open and welcome you home.
Kinda reminds me of playing with gold stocks.
