DC Coup Analysis Thread 1/

I am doing my 'first thoughts' review & analysis of the Trump attempt of a Dictatorial Coup of America we just witnessed in DC the past few days. This is the first in a SERIES of THREADS. This looks at 'what happened'. This sets the stage

As people are pondering Bill Barr's behavior and motivations, let's do a Thread... there is a method to his madness

Giuliani Mini-Thread 1/

On the huge news, that the evidence FBI raided from Rudy Giuliani office has now been handed to Feds after total review by Special Master, let's do quick mini-Thread for you to show Rudy Colludy's mess. He will be arrested in days/weeks at most

Giuliani Mini-Thread 2/

Giuliani has CONFESSED to numerous federal crimes on TV. He thought Trump would pardon Rudy. Now the Feds have the EVIDENCE of Rudy's crimes including:

Ukraine crimes
Georgia election meddling
January 6th conspiracy

And MANY MANY MORE.

Giuliani Mini-Thread 3/

Giuliani faces at least 150 years of prison time out of 7 major crimes (plus dozens lesser crimes). He faces risk of death penalty even on crimes against USA

Donald Trump crimes with Giuliani carry about 95 years to Trump (on top of Trump's other crimes)

Giuliani Mini-Thread 4/

Rudy various criminal partners have confessed to many of the crimes. He himself has confessed. There are tons of collaborating witnesses. FBI had been wiretapping Rudy. And Feds now have all the evidence. His trials will be slam dunks, all of them

Giuliani Mini-Thread 5/

Giuliani is a former federal prosecutor who sent Mafia goons to life in prison. There is no prison where Rudy is safe. He has to spend his total prison time in solitary confinement: for his OWN safety. Rudy is utterly totally royally screwed

He will flip

COVID Masks: Mechanistic View: Part 2: Fine Aerosol Emissions:

Masks may increase fine aerosol emissions from: 1) nebulization of large droplets into fine aerosols, or 2) friability of certain mask materials creating "aerosolized fomites."

Please share:

Here are the studies:

The question is whether facemasks are actually a source for viral aerosols by:

1) Masks get saturated by large "respiratory droplets" containing viral molecules. Air turbulence against trapped droplets may create aerosols that eventually diffuse around edges. Continued...

Trapped droplets potentially get pushed through the filter media of the mask, getting nebulized into aerosols.

Particles don't always stay in the mask:

Study: Ha'eri 1980

Title: The efficacy of standard surgical face masks: an investigation using "tracer particles"

Albumin tracer particles put inside a surgical mask were dispersed into the room by breathing.

Viral molecules can get airborne from air turbulence.

Study: Liu 2020
Title: Aerodynamic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in two Wuhan hospitals.
SARS-2-COV sub-micrometer aerosols not tightly bound to surfaces, get airborne when PPE is taken off.

Remember: Just because an idea is old doesn't mean it's good.

Knowing whether old ideas are more likely to be good requires understanding whether conditions have changed in important ways.

Horse archery was an amazing method of warfare for over a thousand years...then people invented guns, and suddenly this great idea that had stood the test of time became obsolete.

Then again, when underlying conditions don't change much, tried-and-true approaches are probably better.

"Learning the lessons of history" usually just means assuming ergodicity and stationarity in an informal time-series model...

For those traveling to DC on Jan. 6th, I'm a native to the area and I would like to share with you what I will be doing this time and what I have done for the last two rallies...1/

Every crisis becomes a religion if it lasts long enough.

One factor in that transformation is the Beautiful Theory phenomenon: the power elite insists its remedies are logical and politically correct so they MUST work, even if the actual evidence shows they obviously don't.

We live in a society that misunderstands boundaries and consent. Most people think the former is about just saying no, and the latter is about sex. And while that’s a part of it, they are about agency, autonomy, respect and interpersonal relationships.

1/

Unsolicited advice without consent is crossing a person’s boundaries. Even if the advice is good advice, even if the person giving the advice is a pastor or a parent, even if the advice is important. Most people aren’t talking about their life so that we may solve it.

2/

It is an honor to be trusted with someone’s life story*, with their thoughts and their challenges, with their struggles and their musings. But it is not an open invitation to try and solve their problems, control their behavior, tell them what to do.

3/

For a group of people that speak often of free will and claim to follow Jesus, Christians are some of the worst at boundaries and consent in general, and advice giving in particular. Think about how many sermons are not sharing spiritual truths, but just giving advice.

4/

Think about how much pastoral counseling is just advice giving. Think about the many books that tell you how to parent, how to be a good wife, how to be a good Christian, how to... and how much of it is general advice as though our lives were interchangeable?
