CLOWNIFORNIA

Prove to us, you're a Christian. The world is getting crazier. People are acting more and more insane. The end of the world is tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow. The only one thing to do when the world is feeling hard. Listen to Basil and contest this week's news events through the lens of Bible prophecy.

You are listening to the more you cry news tomorrow. You are listening to the New York Times News Talk today on September 15th, 2021. This is episode 389. And today, clouded fornion.

That's right. Howdy beauty folks. Razzle Basil. I'm your best buddy Basil.

And this is Gons, your depressed Asian provocateur for Christ. Welcome to the podcast where we bring you the best news, which is the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. While reporting the egregious with a well-rounded, biblically grounded take on world events. Now you don't know where they're spunk water.

No, still Gons! You can't repeat mean things that somebody says on Twitter, especially because it's very inappropriate. I apologize everyone for that. Sometimes Gons just doesn't know any better.

But as you can see if you're watching the video, Gons is in sackclash and ashes. He is in a period of mourning. In fact, we're all in a period of mourning. I really do legitimately feel bad for you, Gons.

Well, your prediction didn't come true. False profit. And neither did mine. So I guess we're all a bunch of false profits around here.

Gons, leave Twitter on Twitter, man. No, I'm just saying we made a prediction about who's going to be the, who's going to replace Newsome. Apparently it was Newsome. Gadd and replace Gavin.

Well, to be fair, once Nancy Pelosi came out and said that she's got her operatives on it. Yeah, I know. I think we both really knew that it wasn't going to be good. Yeah.

Well, so there you go. If you haven't caught on yet, folks, the California recall failed. No, no. What happened was Newsome Science worked.

It's Newsome Science, baby. Having connection issues over here. Yeah. So, uh, New Some Survives Recall Efforts says he's humbled by support.

And I was looking at the numbers here. And a total voter turnout, 9.176 million, 41% of the state's total, more than 22 million registered voters, which is a pretty good turnout. The no votes total 5.8 million. Yes votes 3.2.

And one of the things that's interesting is I live in Orange County, California. And Orange County, 52% voted no, 464,000. And the people that voted yes to the recall, 418,049%. Pretty close, but it's weird because, I mean, maybe I don't get out enough.

But there, I mean, maybe all the, you know, people that are Newsome supporters are just all quarantining in their house or something. Because I literally didn't run into anyone in my, you know, just going around town and stuff. The people, mostly people were like, yeah, we gotta get rid of Newsome. Signs everywhere.

There was no pro Newsome thing out here. Yeah. I know. Well, you're in Orange County, which is a little bit more conservative.

It is, but still, it's still weird. I think I still hold that the Republican mistake was pushing Larry Elder. I think, uh, because that gave the Newsome crowd the Democrats a chance where it wasn't a referendum on Newsome. It was supposed to be, did Newsome do bad or good.

This is what the recall is. Right. But because Larry Elder made it to the front of the pack and he's, you know, sort of widely compared to, to Trump, that it then became, it's not about, is Newsome good or bad. It's what you want, Newsome or Trump?

Well, I mean, Biden put it best. I'm going to make this as simple as I can. You either keep Gavin Newsome as your governor or you'll get Donald Trump. Yeah.

It's not a joke. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. It's not a joke.

This is literally true. It's literally true. It's true. I'm a governor of California.

Oh, geez. I know. Well, I think that was the problem. Yeah.

And as much as I, you know, we like to joke about it, the Caitlin thing, I still think Caitlin's campaign was the most solidly moderate conservative that could have at least not given the Democrats the ammunition of comparing Larry to Trump. Do you know where Caitlin finished? No, I have no idea. Well, I know Kevin Paffrath finished third, my, my YouTuber.

Yeah. But I don't actually know where Caitlin Jenner finished. Oh, I haven't even looked at that. Not in the top three.

So at least we know that. Who got second? Larry, I guess. Well, I think so.

Okay. I don't know how the math works out on that. But because it was the referendum, the referendum itself failed. So it's not like Newsome could be in first place.

There would have been the vote. Larry probably in first somebody in second and Kevin in third. Yeah, I thought I had that pulled up somewhere. I was looking at a bunch of stuff earlier today and well, at least my Kevin beats.

I am vaccine Kevin. So there's that. That's good. Yeah.

Well, honestly, you know, it's just a joking aside. I'm worried for you, buddy. I'm worried about your, worried about your state and worried about your brain. I'm worried about, worried about everything.

It's more of the same as what we've had. And I, when's the election? It's coming up next year, right? So it's not like it's four more years of Newsome or something like that.

That's true. He does get to have another election next year. Here's the thing though. Well, see, okay, I was going to make a point that like, oh, if Newsome was this bad under threat of recall, I hate to see what he's like when he's not under threat of recall.

But I guess he still is technically up for election next year. So maybe he won't go completely hard while. Yeah. And he had to pull out all the stops for this one.

He had Biden fly out to California. Do you know how hard it is for a man of his life? Of his level to fly? They definitely, they definitely, I mean, that's not good for his joints.

Yeah. Yeah, they really, really pulled out all the stops. Oh, mama made a video, Kamala came out screaming into the mic. I mean, the whole deal, you know.

So I feel like this was all or nothing for Newsome and I think they probably rigged some stuff. I mean, I don't know. The sentiment just boots on the ground sentiment has been, oh, yeah, Newsome's getting voted out like no problem. But it definitely changed in the last like week and then just, I don't know.

I just don't believe in numbers. You know, numbers are really kind of weird, man. They don't quite make sense. The thing, the thing, look, I'm not here to just claim voter fraud for no reason or election fraud for no reason.

And I don't have any real evidence. The one thing that was interesting to me was somebody showed that with the Reek the Mail in ballots, you could just shine a light on the, like an iPhone light on the other side of the envelope and you could see if they voted yes or no. Yeah. No, this just doesn't seem like, okay, not a straight rig, but if you did go into like a booth and voted apparently, and I saw a video of this, I didn't vote in person.

But you had to click like eight pages to get to Larry Elder because that was the biggest threat, you know. So I mean, there's that. And then, yeah, I was, and I don't know how common this is for mail in, but you, you know, you sign your name on the envelope and everything else. The ballot itself, there's no, there's nothing where you verify that you voted, like on the ballot itself.

It's literally just the yes, no, and then who you pick? You don't have to sign anything. There's no signature, but nothing. So I was kind of like that strange.

That is very strange. That's really grounds to just like, here, have a bunch of votes. Yeah. It's a bad system.

And at least is susceptible to easy manipulation. If not, there was, you know, and, you know, and Twitter started trending last night and it said, you know, claims of voter fraud in California recall election unsubstantiated baseless according to the Associated Press and PolitiFact. And my point was like, that's the issue. Why isn't there a way for us to publicly verify this or publicly audit something like an election?

It should be very easily done. Yeah, we don't. And we know why. So anyway, it's just I got mad over the fact that remade over the fact that you don't have more transparency when it comes to voting.

But yeah, you know, whatever it said. A lot of this is, you know, selected, not elected anyway. So yeah, effort by what was his name, Elder. I don't know who's getting going to be back next year to try to read the D throne Newsome.

That's a good question. Yeah, this could have just been like a little warm up. You know, again, I don't even think Larry Elders really a good candidate or the best candidate. Like a realistic one, you know, if you're if you're a fan of Trump, Larry's fun because he's kind of Trumpian, but you know, as far as a realistic, electable California governor, I don't think he was ever that.

But I mean, we've had we had Arnold as governor here. It's not like the bar set super. It fits right in, man. Screw your freedom.

That's California politics and a nutshell. And here. All right. What else you got?

Hold on one second. Okay. Having problems with this connection here. Screw your freedom.

All right. Sorry. I'm just playing that. No, no, no, I'm trying to I'm trying to fix the connection here.

Okay. Some some stereo issues. Okay. I was already sad yesterday because hearing about the passing of comedian Norm McDonald.

And first off, I was very surprised at the number of people that were like, Oh my gosh, Norm McDonald passed away. I grew up watching Norm on Saturday Night Live. When I was a kid, you know, like 10, 11, 12, 13, that age range, you stand up late on Saturday is watching Saturday Night Live. So, you know, dirty works, the movie.

So I kind of grew up watching Norm and just thought Norm was I love his his just attitude as everyone has an impression of Norm. Mm hmm. And then on top of everything else, he in recent years, he was a professing Christian, you know, and not always used or, you know, whatever, like you're not going to always agree with every Christian even, but he was a professing Christian. And so I just thought it was sad to see him go at age 61.

And very interesting that he didn't tell anybody that he had cancer and he was battling cancer for nine years. That's crazy. That's a long time. That is a long time to not tell.

I think some people were saying he didn't even tell some of his family. 16 for 20. That's 15% of his whole life. Yeah.

He was battling cancer interesting. There was a interview of him talking about that concept a few years ago saying like, well, you know, if you announced everybody that you have cancer, it's kind of like you're looking for sympathy. It's the height of narcissism. Yeah, the cancer guy.

The cancer guy, which is partly true, but also not always, you know, there's something to be said about that. But I mean, he just wanted to keep it private and there's something to be said about that as well. But I have some clips just to, you know, just to honor the man who declared his faith in Christ publicly and to set it up, to set up some of these clips. First off, I just want to say, AP News reported Kim Jong-un's sister, one's of destruction of South Korean times.

To be scared, right? I'm scared. I'm scared. And I thought this clip just to memorialize Norm here was very Aperpo in this 33 second clip from Letterman.

That was the TV, I was the news, make it free, the news, you know, put all these stories on. I ran, I ran, North Korea, you know, try to scare you, you know. But this never really scare you. Like, you ever wake up in the little night, I don't know, North Korea.

I've got a little tiny country across the ocean. I wonder if they'll get me. Plus didn't mash that on that line 20 years. Did you ever watch mash?

Yeah, on accident. On accident when you were a kid. It was a naked night or something. The whole thing took place in Korea.

So, I was referencing it. Let's see. I have a couple of Hitler things from Trump to Trump to play them now. I don't know.

That's up to you, man. All right, let's just go through these. This is Norm, previous time on Letterman, talking about Hitler. Yeah, you know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.

I can't. And nothing. There's nothing redeeming about the guy. I tell you guys, I go, how on earth could these Germans like follow this lunatic?

And they're like, oh, he was an incredible public speaker. You know, he could hypnotize you with this public speaking. And then I see him. He's like, shut up.

He's like, what? That's not my idea of a Silver tongue devil. He was good with awkward silences and awkward moments. That was kind of his thing.

Here's the German joke that connects with that. It's a little bit longer than about a minute and a half, but I'll just play it. You're just one country that worries me. Not at Iraq, not at Iraq, not at North Korea.

The only country that really worries me is the country of Germany. I don't know if you guys are history buffs or not, but in the early part of the previous century, Germany decided to go to war. And who did they go to war with? The world.

It's never been tried before. And so you figured that would take about five seconds for the world to win, but you know, it was actually close. Then about 30 years passed and Germany decides again to go to war. And again, it chooses as its enemy.

The world. And this time I have that guy. Go away, go away. I'm not even going to dignify him by saying his name, but I think you know I'm done.

But you'd think at that point the world would go listen, Germany. Here's the deal. You don't get to be a country no more. On a county you keep attacking the world.

Really? What are you, you're a Mars or something? I thought that part was funny. Yeah.

Well, there you go. Yeah, 61, too young to wait to nine years of fighting cancer. That's a long time fighting cancer. And excuse me, certainly a lot.

A lot of people love the guy. So yeah, there you go. I don't like it when there's one less funny person. I know.

I know. I know he's we need more funny people nowadays, not less. This is I have just a couple more of these aren't jokes. This is just because I think a lot of people see Norm as like, Oh, this funny guy just doesn't care.

He was a comedian and all this kind of stuff. But when he talked about his faith, it was kind of interesting because you know, as time went especially more recently, it has not been popular to if you're in entertainment to discuss your faith. This was Norm on Larry King, talking about his faith and about science as well. A flat earth, there's might get a little triggered, but we'll see.

You get a lot of attention on Twitter's fear for being open about your religious views. What are they? I'm a Christian. It's not stylish to say.

No, you're devout. You believe in the Lord. Yes, they do. I don't have faith in science.

Really? Well, think about it. What didn't have scientists always been wrong? Like, like they used to think a son went around the earth that everybody's a scientist.

He's so smart. Other science refuted it. Right. But back then, like everybody at that time thought that guy was smart.

Why at this time do we think that the earth goes around the sun? I think the world was flat. Huh? Yeah.

Well, I mean, what an interesting retort for Larry King. Yeah. He's like, you know, he's pretty sad. He's supposed to be the best interviewer ever on television.

I mean, that's like his legacy is the best interviewer. And here's Norm, and I'm trying to share his faith like he was asked about. Larry King jumps into Jesus think the earth is flat. What does that have to do with anything?

There's another clip. I didn't cut it for the show, but it was on Norm's show and Larry King was on with Norm and Larry started talking about some stuff and Norm goes, sounds like God shape whole in your heart. And Larry goes, what? Um, here's just another 18 second.

Last one here. I have some beliefs that are too inflammatory to even discuss. Unfortunately, because of the way that we take because there are certain things in society that you're not allowed to believe or speak publicly. And so I'll just never say that I'll just leave them in my little head.

I wonder what those things are. I guess we'll never know until maybe we pass through those pearly gates basil, but you'll be missed on this side. And, um, you know, I thought I thought he was a funny comedian, but also very deep and just you know, he would make people mad, which is a good sign that he's actually a good comedian. That, you know, because you're just trying to make people laugh just a laugh.

You know, if you're making people laugh on one side and then making people really angry on the other side, sign that you're probably doing something right. You're probably hitting on some truths that emotionally charge people. So yeah, farewell, but maybe we'll see each other again. Okay.

Let's see. Oh, and I had nowhere to put the stories. I just put it at the top right before the flippy update. Okay.

My saying Antonio calm. Uh, Galveston finds lawyer for strolling beach as Michael Myers with bloody knife. Did you see this? No, there's pictures of a guy's got his Michael Myers mask on.

He's got the Halloween mask is carrying a knife. He's walking around and he's doing it on September 13th. Those are a couple days ago, Monday, Monday, the 13th, 13th, really good, which is almost its own hilarious joke. He probably looked at, you know, with the next Friday, the 13th was like, gosh, not for a while.

Yeah, she goes for it on Monday. I mean, Monday, the 13th, the dressing up is being a lawyer on Monday, the 13th, dressing up like Mike Myers is a pretty funny joke. So he seems like a cool guy. But what do you do?

Like what's your point? Well, what was it? What is the story? Did he have it?

Did he have it? Was there questioning? Is there a quote? According to the Galveston Daily News, the man where Michael Myers suit from the Halloween franchise and walked around with a fake bloody knife.

Police stopped by the beach after someone called 911 and complained about the scary character. Oh, please. The responding officer stopped the man and put him in handcuffs according to Facebook, a Facebook post. The man was island attorney Mark Metzger, who uploaded pictures of himself as Myers on the beach.

He said the costume was a prank. Really? Yeah, he's a funny guy. He's a funny joke.

Social media posts went viral as they showed Metzger walking on the beach of him being handcuffed by the police, authorities cited him for disorderly conduct and then released him. This was a really good one. The second post made around 7.20pm, Metzger wrote his appearance on the beach was about quote, bringing positive vibes to the gloom and doom out there, generating some laughter, helping people crack a smile and restoring our faith and humanity through humor. Yeah.

I thought it was a prank. I like his next quote. So if taking a silly walk down, remember it's in a storm in a Mike Myers costume with a knife on Monday the 13th, he says. So if taking a silly walk down the beach during a storm in a costume and subsequently being arrested for disorderly conduct, accomplish any of that, then I do it all again every day.

Metzger wrote. Metzger mentioned the misdemeanor charge, but said he was still fuzzy about what was illegal about his actions. Okay. Yeah, that's fun.

Yeah, I don't know. All right. Well, let's get into the flippy update. I'm going to be there for a little bit just so people can soak in Mike Myers on the beach.

Sleeping on the beach. Do you want to cry with that? Yeah. What is up with lawyers dressing up on the beach?

I was there's somebody in the chat that reminded me there was another lawyer a few weeks or a few months ago, maybe who just a long time ago, the Grim Reaper. Yeah. This is like last year. Yeah.

What's up with the? I don't know, but they seem like cool guys, man. Okay. All right.

I know. I'm down. It's hilarious. Mike Myers is taking a gentle stroll on the beach.

All right. It's time for the flippy update. Flippy is the colloquial name for the disembodied robot arms that are taking our jobs and slaving our children and flirting with our spouses. We're using, we use talking about flippy as a way to explore all the new fun and exciting ways the robots are taking over the world and how there's nothing we can do about it today.

We got an interesting report coming from the Jerusalem post J post.com skipping the gas. Okay. It's not in there. It disappeared from now.

You got to scroll down to additional stories. I can put it back. I forgot to put it back. No, we're fine.

We're going. Let's just go. Yes. And the headline is meet Gary, the personal Israeli robot assistant for your home or office.

Israel based on limited robotics revealed its new service robot, Gary, geared to manufacture to perform any home business or office. Sure, the company announced in a statement along the big reveal. The 20 team member Israeli startup also announced its new developers platform, Raya, which quote makes it easier for any software engineer to build robotic applications, even without prior experience in hard-coded environments. First of all, an Israeli robot named Gary is pretty funny.

I mean, it didn't give it like an Israeli name. It's like some guy from Des Moines named Gary. That's the name of the robot. Also interesting name of their software platform or their coding platform, Raya, is kind of, I'm curious what maybe the- It actually means attendant maintenance or companion.

Really? Yes. And it also can be translated as love or variant. Variance.

Oh, we got the variant. Wait, how does love and variant? I don't know. It's according to the Bible study tools.

Okay. Quote, the process of programming a robotic application is challenging and is not that blah, blah, blah. They talk about how much easier they've made it to program Gary. Let's see here.

Some stats. We've got to love the robo stats. He can hold up to five kilograms with his two robotic arms. If that's good, it's nice and weak.

So you can fight Gary off when he turns, when he turns on you, your child, he can't even pick up your child. Each arm has a different grip or perform said tasks such as grabbing, holding and squeezing objects as appropriate. Mm. Squeezing.

When is it? When is it appropriate to squeeze Andrew Cuomo? Because Gary, the Cuomo bot in order to see the robot incorporates the use of three different infrared and in-depth cameras to help the robot improve its performance through the extremely high processor and AI capabilities. Usually a standard robot or an electronic device can perform only one function set out to go.

Quote, with our technology, we are bringing a new way to build several mechanical and operational applications all in one device. And then it talks about the developers again. They're very heavy on the ease of soft wearing. Yeah.

I'm looking at the video here and playing it on the screen, but it looks like through Ryup, anybody can develop their own apps kind of like how you make apps for it. It's kind of like an app store for your robot. Well, but I mean, anybody can build one just like it was in the Apple App Store. Yeah.

Well, so you can create services that Gary can do. So the example here is like, what is this? Bring me stuff. The bring me stuff app will allow Gary to bring you stuff.

Yeah. Well, and I think this is fairly genius, not just because it's copying sort of the Apple store model, but that's been kind of the problem with these robotics companies is you can build the hardware, but then to write a new program for every single action. That's where a lot of these robotics companies are having trouble. But if you open it up to more of like a marketplace type of sourcing for different softwares for the robot, I think that's going to catch on a lot faster and opens up this whole new industry of, you know, robot app programming.

It does it is concerning because as was the concern with the Apple platform or these app marketplace platforms is when you start inviting all sorts of different companies and people to create software for your hardware, you're inviting, you know, these other companies need a way to monetize and you can monetize one by charging for an app, but hey, nobody likes paying for apps. And so what do you do? You collect data. So instead of one company collecting all your robot data, now, you know, just like your phone, you can have a dozen different companies all collecting and selling the data at the same time.

So that's a little concerning, but the other part of it, here's a fun little detail. Gary the robot will be available for sale beginning in 2022 on limited robotics is currently fielding a waiting list in which users will be able to become one of the first to own Gary starting with a $99 deposit. The unlimited Robox team further expressed their optimism with their open source platform, Mariah unlimited robotics notes that for many developers or for any developers who have an idea to build an app on it, it would be a key factor to taking their product to the next level and providing solutions for home business owners blah blah blah. So this very well could be the first available robo butler and it's on this open source platform, which I generally am a big fan of open source.

And I think, well, I know that many real techie coder type people are all fans of the open source platform. And it's what drives innovation and it helps the economics of the thing. And even if you know, you could just build your own app for the robot and install it on your own robot, you don't need to sell it or anything like that, which is cool. I will say Gary is not as slick looking at the Tesla robot announced a few weeks ago.

It is a pretty clunky looking fella. He's got these really long arms that can't bend at the waist or anything. So I think it has these super long arms to be able to pick something up off the floor. Yeah, not the sort of best looking robot I've ever seen.

But you know what, open source things are rarely the best looking products. It kind of reminds me of the Baymax robot in what is it, big hero six, that's got that eye to it where it's kind of mechanical, but it's kind of, you know, I love it. The one thing interesting about this little video ad here is unlimited possibilities. All you need is building it as easy.

All you need it. So it's not about Gary or the developers. It's about you. And all you need is just an imagination.

And that always brings me back to Genesis 11 and the reason why God tore down the Tower of Babel and verse six. And the Lord said, behold, the people is one and they all have one language or programming language. And this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. So, you know, this endless imagination kind of talk that a lot of technology has brought is very reminiscent of the Tower of Babel.

And what God said, it would be possible because of the one language and it's interesting that we're at this time now. It's like living in Noah's days all over again. There you go. I do just another piece of data.

It can only go three miles per hour. So, you know, Elon Musk was bragging about his, how weak and how slow his robot is and how it won't take over the world. Gary is just as weak and just as slow as your robot, Elon. So cut down on the bragging.

I like the book. Gary, I love you, Gary. I wonder if they had a meeting about what's the most or the least threatening name that we can give a robot. Yeah, I think that was it.

Gary, Gary, the most most lovable name for a robot. So, there you go. That's your flippy update. We might actually have robot butlers by next year.

That's just happening. That'll be happening. It's happening. The revolution.

The revolution has begun. Yeah. Okay. Let's see.

Where am I? Let me pull up my notes here. Okay. We have a we're going to do some watching stuff.

We have a lot of lines for you. Oh, I guess I didn't pull the jingle that I was supposed to pull up to talk about this section. Basically, it's about CDDCs, which is central bank. Central bank.

Digital currencies. I will play the single to set it up. Speaking of the recent system. Now, we played the clip last episode of the Edo State on one of the heads of Edo State, which is in Nigeria and him saying you will not have access to your bank account unless you have a vaccine or vaccine passport.

And this Bitcoin.com article here says Nigeria's CBDC quote a safer option than privately issued crypto currencies. Central bank official says it's like, Oh, I love it. I love it. Putting putting putting under the label of safer.

It's safe. Let us keep you safe. That's what the authorities love to use. Is there excuse or control and as many people think that Bitcoin might have something to do with the mark of the beast.

The CBDCs being tied to a vaccine passport is much more likely. It's the same people running it central banks, the IMF, the World Bank and all that. And you know, coming out of Nigeria, Nigeria central bank official anyway. This is a I think it's a sign that, Hey, the money that is going to be tied to your vaccine passport is not Bitcoin.

We can't regulate Bitcoin. We can't control Bitcoin, but we can control the CBDC. We can take it right out of your wallet on your phone. If you misbehave, I mean, there's a lot more control.

Yeah, it's an account that they can control so they can cut it off. They can, you know, limit you and they can hold it and hold it over your head. And just a few more headlines to read along those same lines. Bitcoinist.com, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, set to test cross border CBDCs.

There you go. I think we're going to be talking about the more countries now, China. CBDC race gathers steam as more companies develop E-CNY products. And I have to do a little more digging on what exactly E-CNY is.

But I think it is, it's got something to do with China's central bank digital currency, the digital you want. I think it is a digital you want. And then India could begin trials for digital rupee by December. Central Bank governor says all these central bankers are really starting to roll out the CBDCs.

And we need to keep an eye on it because that is, this is not good. You know, this is not a good sign. This is more control by governments, central banks, and a social credit score, vaccine passport, all of that can be directly tied to your money. And if you're going to compare it to Revelation 13 and the mark of the beast, then the CBDC is way more aligned with such prophecies than not.

Bitcoin and other decentralized currencies. And it does bring up an interesting conversation because a lot of people say, oh, Bitcoin, what if they just drop an EMP? Or what if they shut off the internet and all this stuff? So here's the deal.

If that happens, if the elite are like EMP, you know, shut everything down, then they would also have to shut down the internet. They would also have to shut down the very surveillance apparatus that they don't. That's fine. Yeah.

So not to mention the fact that if the internet goes down or your EMP goes down all your money. Yeah. Yeah. What?

What do you? Okay. Sure. You have some cash, but a, how long will that survive or like how long will that last and be who's going to be taking cash?

Yeah. It just doesn't make any sense. We have way bigger problems if an EMP goes off. Yeah.

And you know, some people say we'll have gold and silver. I would agree, but also in this theoretical dystopian nightmare, are people going to really want gold too? I mean, I guess maybe, but it'd be harder to trade gold. It'd be probably easier to trade bullets and cigarettes.

Don't say that's true. The actual bartering is the real thing there. But you know, I don't even want to get pulled into the, I think it's a straw man. The people say don't buy Bitcoin by gold.

Yeah. It's like, well, have all of it. It's all good to have. Yeah.

At least he's talking about it. Not saying gold is bad. No, no, no, no. I'm not saying that either.

God's money. I know. I know, you know. I don't think it's a good thing, but most people are unaware of how invasive this quote unquote money is going to be for nations all around the world.

Yeah. And there's a reason why some nations are starting to adopt Bitcoin while at the same time other nations are starting to push the CBDCs out. Yeah, that's the interesting part about it, isn't it? Yeah.

Some are adopting Bitcoin and some are trying to reinvent it. Yeah. So yeah, we'll see what works. All right.

And that brings us into today's wack-shine stuff. I am wack-shine. I am actually, I am actually, I am actually, I am actually, number one way, a pandemic special. And we'll start off here at CNY Central.

And the headline is Utica Judge blocks medical worker vaccine mandates in New York State. Okay, we've got some news here. A federal judge is temporarily blocked the state of New York from forcing medical workers to be vaccinated after a group of healthcare workers sued, saying their constitutional rights were violated. Judge David Hurd in Utica issued the order Tuesday after our 17 health professionals, including doctors and nurses, claimed the vaccine mandate violated their rights because it disallows religious exemptions.

Judge gave New York State until September 22nd to respond to the lawsuit in federal court in Utica. The state issued the order August 28th requiring at least a first shot for healthcare workers at hospitals and nurses, nursing homes by September 27th. So it's not a defeat of the mandate or anything, but it at least has stalled it as they take the proper legal actions to continue to fight it. Very interesting.

Utica, come on with Utica. Well, we often hear about New York, New York City, and for getting that, there's a lot of state. It's outside of a city there. But yeah, I mean, I guess this is good in some respects, but it's kind of one of those things where it feels like there's a tsunami coming and some people are putting up little, you know, like just a few rocks to try to withstand the wave coming down.

Yeah, by no means is this sort of a win or a final decision, but you know, little things like this are precedent setting. As you know, one judge here, one judge there starts to at least let these things be heard in court that will influence the decisions across the nation as of course there's many of these legal battles happening across the United States. But there you go. I'm just keeping up with it.

Yep. Moving on here. This is AZ mirror.com and oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A GOP Senator likened to COVID vaccines to the Holocaust, tweeted a swastika and told a Jewish group who complained to quote, learn your history.

Oof, a doofa. You know, we try to be as balanced as possible, you know, because obviously you talk about the lefties and the Democrats and a lot of their shenanigans, but you know, the right, the conservative side Republican arm, which is not really a good look for anyone to be tweeting a swastika. Yeah, no, never just don't tweet swastikas. After comparing vaccine supporters to Nazis and sharing an image of needles in the shape of a swastika on social media, Republican state Senator Kelly Townsend dismissed a Jewish organization who admonished her to quote, learn your history on Sunday, Townsend tweeted an image, tweeted an image, a Nazi flag made up of needles who wrote this?

Gary, Gary wrote it. Gary needs a spell check with a caption that anyone who's vaccinated and quote, complaining about the unvaccinated or saying the vaccine doesn't work. Okay, that kind of makes sense. The Anti-Defamation League and International Jewish Organization that focuses on fighting back against anti-Semitism and hate sharply criticized town said on the social media network, quote, Townsend should delete this outrageous and offensive tweet.

The years in the chapter of the Anti-Defamation League wrote on Twitter, quote, there is never a valid time to share this flag, which represents oppression and genocide for so many comparing health mandates to Nazis and is highly insensitive and escalates tension around efforts to fight hashtag COVID-19. Yeah. There's quite a balance to be here. Again, I would never recommend anybody tweet out a Swatsika just in general.

You know, you may be trying to make a point, but that point is not going to land. But yeah, you know, I mean, Kelly Townsend, of course, he's trying to refer to the Nuremberg code in the medical testing without coercion or force. And of course, there is important conversations to be had about this. But yeah, tweeting out a Swatsika is not a good way to start this conversation.

And this is an example of going to the extremes and then both side and then polarizing both sides so that no real conversation can be had. It's just because now you what it's doing is putting certain conservatives or just conservatives in an interesting position where they're like being asked to defend tweeting Nazi symbols. Yeah. It's not a good position to be in.

And you shouldn't, you know, if you're conservative out there, be careful what you're asking other conservatives to defend. Yeah. And but at the same time, like the, you know, the police, the anti-Semite police on the other side go a little far in terms of having their own thing there. Yeah.

Townsend rebuked the 108 year old Jewish organization quote, learn your history. She retorted. I don't know what that means. What do you mean, learning?

Well, I mean, again, not a good look. I know she's referencing the number of stuff, but it's like, well, I mean, the point is she's trying to tell the anti-defamation lead to read about the Holocaust when that's like their whole thing is like, you know, this is conservative, you know, the optics of white conservative Christian lady telling a Jewish organization to learn about the Holocaust is again, not a good look. I'm just low-hanging fruit for the trolls to really latch on to to discredit you. I don't think we need to necessarily read the rest of it, but you know, it's just one of those things where you got to be careful what you're defending.

I think you pointed out the point that I wanted to make, which was this cause conservatives to be like, and Republicans to be like, well, what if she's making a point with the swastika with the syringe? I mean, she's not promoting it. Yeah. But okay.

But now you're having to defend tweeting the swastika. Just again, I get it. I get it. We have to we have to deal with the hard conversations all the time, but that doesn't make it any easier.

You should do what she do. What I should do. I can't. I can't.

I can't. I can't tell. I don't know. We're going to find out.

But of course, the FDA, the politicization of the FDA, the Biden appointed acting director of the FDA, and of course, we've got the head of the FDA vaccine review and research department stepping down because of the iron fist of the Biden administration. And let's see what we got to say here. A group of international experts, including notably two outgoing food and drug administration vaccin regulators argue how you can misread that like, oh, they must be very social. They're really outgoing people.

This is bubbly. Yeah. Anyway, a group of international experts, including notably two outgoing food and drug administration vaccine regulators argues that a new paper against offering COVID-19 vaccine boosters to the general population. The paper published Monday in the Landsat is based on a review of available data about the durability of vaccine protection that it was co-authored by Marion Gruber and Phil Kraus, two veteran FDA officials who have been leading the agency's review of COVID-19 vaccine application amounts to a strikingly direct rebuff to the Biden administration as it lays plans for booster shots.

Gruber and Kraus announced last month they would be leaving the agency this fall. Other authors include experts from the World Health Organization, who which has called for countries to delay broad booster plans as many countries are still suffering from a lack of vaccine supply in the face of horrific outbreaks driven by highly transmissible Delta variants. Quote, current evidence does not therefore appear to show a need for boosting in the general population in which efficacy against severe disease remains high. The authors wrote the paper is sure to add to debate about whether the White House got ahead of its scientific agencies in outlining plans for general boosters, which the Biden administration had signaled would start rolling out Monday.

Experts broadly agree that people with the compromised team immune system should be receiving third shots of the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer BioNTechamaderna, which were authorized as two dose courses. And some experts argue that seniors who generally mount less robust immune responses to vaccine should also be eligible for boosters. But for the general population, experts have been divided over whether boosters are necessary. Some argue that a third shot, or in the case of Johnson and Johnson's vaccine, a second shot, should really be considered part of the initial dosing plan.

While others say there is no evidence that the vaccines are losing any strength and protecting people from hospitalization or death from COVID-19. The worst outcomes that the shots were primarily designed to guard against. Quote, even if boosting were eventually shown to decrease the medium-term risk of serious disease, current vaccine supplies could save more lives if used in previously unvaccinated populations and if used as boosters, or then if used as boosters in vaccinated populations, the paper states. The authors acknowledge that.

That's kind of disappointing. Well, you know, they can't take an anti-vaccine stance, you know, it's and again, remember these FDA officials who step down, they're not necessarily anti-vax people. They're just trying to, the statement that they're making more so is that the Biden administration is no longer listening to the science. They're just politicizing the vaccines.

Now, they're trying to push boosters for political gain because of course, Biden needs to get his approval numbers up. Almost done here. Let's see where we're, the authors acknowledged that boosting could eventually be needed for the general population of immunity. Weins are a variant emerges that significantly undercuts the vaccines power.

The vaccines power. They also point to daters showing that the delta variance is leading to more symptomatic breakthrough infections than other variants. But they add that the message that boosting might soon be needed is not justified by robust data and analysis could adversely affect confidence in vaccines and undermine messaging about the value of primary vaccination. Pointing to the possibility of side effects from boosters doses, the authors write that, quote, if unnecessary boosting causes significant adverse reactions, there could be implications for vaccine acceptance that go beyond COVID-19 vaccine.

Why would they be worried about adverse reactions? The news tells me that there's no adverse reactions, not a single one has been reported, except for all those teen boys having heart attacks. The FDA mean, fake news, sorry, all those teen boys are getting myocarditis. The FDA meanwhile is convening its vaccine advisory committee for a public meeting Friday to discuss Pfizer's application for COVID-19 boosters at which the topic of weather boosters are necessary is sure to come up.

So there you go. As if the FDA officials stepping down in protest of political intervention within the FDA, they went ahead and teamed up with an international team to write a paper and put it out in the land set rebuffing this Biden administration push. It's interesting because, you know, as you mentioned, these are a pro-vax people, but they've been pushed to this point where, you know, at a certain, I guess, like a threshold where they're like, well, no, this, no, not this thing. Yeah.

All that, all the rest, but the booster thing, no science whatsoever. Well, you know, they got to draw the line somewhere. And with the amount of, I'd say the limit testing that the Biden administration has been participating in, you know, testing the limits, how far can we push people? How far can we push the public?

How far can we push our health organizations? How far can we push nurses and doctors and vaccine hesitancers? How far can we push them? You know, I think they're finding a limit as to how long these FDA officials will play along with the politicization.

And you know, this is good. You know, whether or not these FDA officials are full on vaccine hesitants and want to give freedom to everybody or whatever, which they certainly are not like icons of vaccine hesitants movement, which we shouldn't even require that of them. I mean, they're, they're, this is just where they feel the line should be drawn. And you know, everybody's starting to find that, find where the line should be drawn for them.

And I think it speaks volumes about these FDA officials pushing back against political manipulation within the FDA. Because it's certainly part of a bigger, bigger program, bigger plan and bigger overall issue. Yeah. And, and this article in this paper in the Landsat, remember, if you join our newsletter, go to canaryacryde.party, hit the newsletter button, join the newsletter at the end of the week, we'll be sending out all these sources and having this source just in your back pocket, this Landsat article, you know, will help you in your conversations with people in your life.

Yeah. And I have another just real briefly, another article that might come in handy along these same lines with the FDA. But this was published a little bit earlier this year, June 27th was when this was published. It's an opinion piece, but it was in business insider was published there.

And the headline is the FDA is broken. It's controversial approval of an ineffective new Alzheimer's drug proves the agency puts profit over public health. Yeah. This is not going to get a lot of play, by the way.

Oh, you don't say three comments, 196, whatever. And so this had to do with an Alzheimer's drug. And the author here points out that we must get money out of science to have safe and effective drugs. And then P.E.

Moskowitz is an author and runs mental health and newsletter about capitalism and psychology. And so yeah, so this, according to the story, this drug for Alzheimer was approved by the FDA. So there was an 11 member panel that of experts and it says here, no one on the 11 member panel agreed with drug maker bio gens claim that the drug could help with cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's patients, but the FDA approved the drug anyway. And then later in the article, it says, based on the agency's history, it is clear that the FDA has a pattern of approving drugs that show little to no efficacy, especially for mental health medication.

And then the problem extends far beyond SSRIs. According to one 2013 analysis, which I have, I'll show it a moment here, a whopping 90% of drugs approved by the FDA in the previous 30 years are little or no more effective than existing drugs. So and this, that study is legit. I mean, this is like an SSRN paper is published on June 20, 2013.

And the title of the paper is institutional corruption of pharmaceuticals and the myth of safe and effective drugs. And it really goes after the FDA. So I just don't understand when people are just blindly accepting the FDA as like, oh, hey, their government, they wouldn't lie to us or, you know, other reasoning and just accepting what they peddle out there. I mean, I don't know, it's just the evidence is clear.

I think the whole thing with the two regulator, vaccine regulators stepping away is sort of icing on the cake when it comes to all the other information that's been out there, not fringe blogs talking about it, mainstream media, like Business Insider talking about the problem with the FDA, the conflicts of interest and everything else. Yeah. You know, on the other hand, just to get a little, I don't know, a little conspiratorial about it, maybe it's after the Fauci stuff, after the CDC stuff, after the just the blatant, I don't know, just Tom Foolery by authorities and regulations and regulators and organizations like that. Just like adding the FDA into this is just normalizing the nonsense of quote unquote health authorities.

It's like there isn't a single health authority that hasn't been plagued by these types of problems, by lies, by political interventions, by the pressure to push a storyline that goes against the science. It's just a normal part of these organizations now, which is too bad. It's all it's what it is. It's just to kind of follow the rabbit hole there.

Where is it leading? And I reckon that eventually it's got to be part of a great reset type of situation where they build transparency or build some kind of new system that draws people in. Sure. That's a good point.

Sure. That allows us to, you know, it makes a scene like we have more control over our information or whatever. But ultimately it's a lot more, you know, more surveillance, more of a who's watching us. Oh, we got it.

Yeah. If you want transparency, then we almost participate in it. Give us your DNA kind of thing. That sort of level us your DNA.

Yeah, joke, but it's true. It's like, well, we got to make sure that everybody that's participating in the world is, you know, but they're safe, but they have antibodies and whatever else. Yeah. I mean, certainly control mechanism is one of the end goals.

Yeah. All right. Well, there you go. This is from relevant magazine.com support.

Oh, good. Yeah. I remember relevant. Great publication.

Yeah. They had the Why When Christians get vaccinated article. Uh huh. They made so many great points.
