Folks, This Needs to Go Viral, I Caught CDC “Creating Deaths” And Padding the Numbers, Not Just Reclassifying. The Evidence is Clear Cut (QRV)

Busted Red Handed! CDC Caught Padding Death Numbers Into the Historical Records

Charts and Tables at OP

https://www.nukepro.net/2020/05/busted-red-handed-cdc-caught-padding.html

So basically, unless you were a total statistical tech geek, there is no way that you could have caught them with such blatant data manipulation. I mean at least the climate warmistas try to cover their tracks with come kind of an excuse.

They never thought that “she” would lose. And they never thought that a citizen scientist would be archiving their data in real time. BOOM.

Between 3-17-2020 and 4-21-2020 they added 31,891 Deaths into the “Record”. They did not reclassify them or something to that effect, they just made them up.

This deserves a congressional investigation.

Backgrounder:

On April 9th, I downloaded some data files from CDC, and did analysis on them and wrote an article, which is here.

https://www.nukepro.net/2020/04/it-looks-like-total-flupneumonia-deaths.html

I archived, an uploaded to Box so I could share the actual data with anyone who wanted it.

I still hate Searle’s notion of atheistic realism

I have never liked John Searle’s ideas, but for a long while I have not thought about how much I dislike his arguments. Wintery Knight used some ideas from Searle to defend Christianity, which is not a tactic I would endorse, because Searle is no Christian. (Searle does not defend his atheism with forthright bluster — Searle wiggles and weasels and prevaricates and circumnavigates the point — but Searle denies anything that Searle considers “supernatural.” I should not need to mention that Searle’s notions of “supernatural” are illogical.)

Also, Searle took pains to avoid genetic fallacy, and I don’t know whether Wintery Knight regards that as reasonable.

Searle wrote (and Wintery Knight quoted):
the motivation for denying realism is a kind of will to power, and it manifests itself in a number of ways. In universities, most notably in various humanities disciplines, it is assumed that, if there is no real world, then science is on the same footing as the humanities.

Searle wrote:

Then Wintery Knight took the notion to an extent that I think Searle would not agree with:

Now, I’ll go one step further than Searle.

People, from the Fall, have had the desire to step into the place of God. It’s true that we creatures exist in a universe created and designed by God. But, there is a way to work around the fact that God made the universe and the laws that the universe runs on, including logic, mathematics and natural laws. And that way is to deny logic, mathematics and natural laws. Postmodernists simply deny that there is any way to construct rational arguments and support the premises with evidence from the real world. That way, they imagine, they are free to escape a God-designed world, including a God-designed specification for how they ought to live. The postmoderns deny the reliable methods of knowing about the God-created reality because logic and evidence can be used to point to God’s existence, God’s character, and God’s actions in history.

And that’s why there is this effort to make reality “optional” and perspectival. Everyone can be their own God, and escape any accountability to the real God – the God who is easily discovered through the use of logic and evidence.

Searle would argue that logic and evidence forces a thinker to disbelieve in God. (Searle would ALSO claim that Wintery Knight is committing a genetic fallacy, but Wintery Knight would probably deny that.) Wintery Knight would argue that logic and evidence forces a thinker to believe in God.

At this point I say that Kuhn and Feyerabend were making good points when they said that different groups of people use words like “logic and evidence” to express wildly different meanings.

It is NOT easy to agree on basic definitions for communication.

It is even harder to agree on what the basis for evidence is.

It is another struggle to agree on what the facts are.

Because it is very, very difficult to find any common ground for debate with people who have different viewpoints, I can’t use any simple notion of “logic and evidence” in any discussion that accommodates both Searle and Wintery Knight at the same time.

Yes, I COULD use mathematical logic as Godel did, to create a narrow, foolproof formalized system – but then I doubt that either Searle or Wintery Knight would take the trouble to analyze and understand the formal logic.

Crowds have stormed the Capitol building

POTUS was optimistic before Pence betrayed him. The Trump team was posting stories about success in Pennsylvania.

Patriots gathered in large numbers to demonstrate support for POTUS. General Flynn altered a familiar proverb. He claimed that patriots have not been fooled, and that the truth will come out. Lin Wood wrote several provocative tweets that might be interpreted as encouraging violence. One of these tweets was later deleted from https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1346875168061321216. Its original appearance included a 1776 reference, suggesting revolution:

Although the tweet that might have been interpreted as suggesting violence was taken down, Lin Wood still has a tweet that explicitly calls for peaceful action. In American English, it is possible to enter a building “peacefully” and still “fight” because the term “fight” is very vague.

Global News wrote:

President Donald Trump is telling protesters who violently stormed the Capitol building to prevent President-Elect Joe Biden’s certification to “go home,” while refusing to concede the legitimacy of the election results, maintaining that the U.S. election was stolen from him. “I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us,” Trump said in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday. “But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have a law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”

Trump tells protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building to ‘go home’

Later, Global News wrote:

“Pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building in Washington, DC after a march decrying the vote in the Electoral College and oppose Congress’ certification of the Republican president’s Nov. 3 election loss to president-elect Joe Biden.
The protests interrupted Congress as Republican lawmakers mounted their first official challenge to the certification of Biden’s presidential election win, objecting to state results from Arizona as they took up Trump’s relentless effort to overturn the election results in an extraordinary joint session of Congress.”

However, it is not clear which angry Americans were storming the Capitol building. It seems likely that protesters from antifa were also present.

Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

Things appeared to carry on peacefully earlier in the day, but as the joint session of Congress kicked off in the early afternoon, a large group of individuals appeared to storm through outer barricades surrounding the Capitol building, where lawmakers deliberated inside.

Evolving notions of the action film

Eighty years ago, life was relatively slow-paced and an “action movie” might involve very low stakes, such as a large amount of money or the safety of a husband and his wife.

The trailer for High Noon takes about 96 seconds and uses a narrator to literally tell a story the old-fashioned way, with a human voice:

A trailer for Treasure of the Sierra Madre requires three minutes!

Fortunately, most of the trailer is text, so the audience does not need to spend much time looking at sweaty men wearing too much clothing in hot weather.

These movies did not reflect the fear of atomic annihilation. The “stakes” were low; the deaths of two or three people were supposed to motivate the audience.

By the 1960s, the new standard “stakes” had been set: a single nuclear weapon outside of the control of the USA or the USSR was supposed to be the ultimate issue:

Note that the realism in some respects might be arguable. Bond tells a “little fish” to warn his employers. This use of diplomacy rather than lethal violence is not entirely unrealistic. However, the technology and geopolitics are combinations of fantasy and propaganda.

The “stakes” of a 1960s Bond movie set the stakes at an easily imaginable level: limited atomic war could mean the death of many humans. Later nuclear-bomb-centered action movies explicitly set the stakes at the highest level the audience can imagine — the utter destruction of all civilization, including the death of every human everywhere. The technology is mostly realistic.

It appears that Avengers: Endgame represents the current standard for Hollywood output. This movie may fall short of the quality standards of earlier action movies. Some action movies have combined elegance, excitement, and novelty.

Some other action movies have attempted to inject novelty by using dark-skinned actresses instead of pale-skinned actors. The results have not been inspiring.

 

Some classic action films combine exotic settings, implied sexual tension, stylized danger, and prettified violence, together with very fast-paced shocks of novelty. An example is The Fifth Element:

Note that the “stakes” are higher in theory, but practically speaking these are the same stakes as a 1970s-era atomic horror film: every human and human-like being will be destroyed unless the hero and the heroine succeed in their task. The technology is unexplained fantasy science.

Some critics have noted that this film continues action-movie tropes (such as cigarette smoking) that fit well with 1970s culture but are strange and unfamiliar to American audiences of the 20th century. Note in particular the line at 4 minutes and 9 seconds regarding “childlike traumatized but badass lady sex object.”
 

Also note that this in-joke trailer takes more time than three old-fashioned movie trailers put together.

[Considering inflation, Gone with the Wind is the highest-earning film in Hollywood history.]

DW has written:

“Avengers: Endgame” has earned $2.79 billion (€2.49 billion) since its release in April, breaking the record for the most financially successful movie of all time, Disney confirmed on Sunday.

The Marvel blockbuster comes as a culmination of a long-running story about a team of superheroes, which started with the release on “Iron Man” in 2008. It currently spans across over 20 movies set in the same fictional universe.

This weekend, “Avengers: Endgame” pushed past the previous record holder, James Cameron’s “Avatar”, which grossed just around $2.788 billion since it was released in 2009. So far, “Avatar” remains the more profitable movie if the inflation over the last decade is taken into account.

Filmbug has written:

Action films are a film genre where action sequences, such as fighting, stunts, car chases or explosions, take precedence over elements like characterization or complex plotting. The action typically involves individual efforts on the part of the hero, in contrast with most war films. The genre is closely linked with the thriller and adventure film genres.

Rise of the action film

In the West, during the 1920s and 1930s, adventure films were popularised by actors such as Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn, but the settings were often period ones. The phenomenal success of the James Bond series in the 1960s and 1970s, helped to popularise the concept of the modern day action film in more recent years. The early Bond films were characterised by quick cutting, car chases, fist fights and ever more elaborate action sequences. The series also established the concept of the resourceful hero, who is able to dispatch the villains with a ready one-liner.

…

Sub-genres

Action drama – Combines action set-pieces with serious themes, character insight and/or emotional power. …

Buddy cop – Two mismatched cops (or some variation such as a cop and a criminal) team-up as the main protagonists.
…

Action comedy – Mixture of action and comedy usually based on mismatched partners (the standard “buddy film” formula) or unlikely setting. The action comedy sub-genre was re-vitalized with the popularity of the Lethal Weapon series of movies in the 1980s and 1990s.
