Who Is 'The Real Anthony Fauci'?
By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. | Children's Health Defense | August 25, 2021
Today, Dr. Anthony Fauci is a household hero to half of America. Drug companies, government officials and the pharma-funded corporate media invoke his name to justify lockdowns, masks and experimental vaccines. The other half do not look on him favourably.
A recent editorial in a leading medical journal urged Congress to make it a felony to publicly criticize Dr. Fauci.
Encouraging his own deification, Dr. Fauci has declared that all those who questioned his pronouncements are "anti-science."
But who is Dr. Fauci really?
In my new book, I show that Dr. Fauci has done little to earn the sobriquet "America's Doctor."
Instead, he has survived 50 years as the J. Edgar Hoover of public health by consistently prioritizing Big Pharma profits over the welfare of his countrymen, and through mercenary homage to the chemical and agricultural industry, the military industrial complex, the intelligence apparatus and all the other pushers of pills, potions, powders, poisons, pricks and the police state.
During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research, I unearthed a shocking story that obliterates the obsequious media's spin on Dr. Fauci … and that will alarm every American — Democrat or Republican — who cares about democracy, our Constitution and the future of our children's health.
In my book I reveal how Fauci:
has been the principal architect of "agency capture" — the subversion of democracy by a drug industry that manipulates regulators like sock puppets.
failed dismally over his 50-year career with the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to address the cause, to prevent or cure the exploding epidemics of allergies and chronic disease that Congress charged him with curtailing. The chronic disease pandemic is his enduring legacy. Those ailments now debilitate 54 percent of American children compared to 6 percent when he joined NIAD.
repeatedly used fraud, bullying, intimidation, dissembling and falsified science to win approval for worthless and deadly drugs and vaccines.
sabotaged safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS while promoting deadly chemotherapy drugs that almost certainly caused more deaths than HIV.
transformed NIAD from a public health regulator into an incubator for pharmaceutical drugs for which he and his trusted deputies often file patents and collect royalties. Dr. Fauci has claimed Moderna vaccine patent rights worth billions of dollars for NIAD and hand-picked at least four of his NIAD underlings to receive $150,000 annually from royalties.
exercises dictatorial control over the army of "knowledge-and-innovation" leaders who appear nightly on TV to parrot his orthodoxies and "debunk" his opponents who run his crooked clinical trials globally and who populate the "independent" federal panels that approve and mandate drugs and vaccines — including the committees that allowed the Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19 vaccines.
violated federal law to allow his pharma partners to sacrifice and kill hundreds of impoverished and dark-skinned children and orphans in the U.S and Africa as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.
repeatedly concocted and weaponized fraudulent pandemics, including bird flu (2005), swine flu (2009) and Zika (2015-2016), in order to sell novel vaccines.
partnered with the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to conduct "gain-of-function" experiments to breed pandemic superbugs in poorly regulated labs in Wuhan, China and elsewhere, under conditions that virtually guaranteed the escape of weaponized microbes like SARS-CoV-2.
That's just the short list.
Dr. Fauci and his band of pharma and Silicon Valley profiteers — working with corrupted politicians, captured federal agencies and the bought and brain-dead mainstream media — have used the COVID pandemic to mint billions from vaccines and other profitable medicines.
His disastrous mismanagement ran up one of the biggest COVID death counts among all nations.
Dr. Fauci has led the crusade to suppress functional remedies like Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine which could have avoided 80 percent of the deaths and hospitalizations from COVID and ended the pandemic overnight.
We need to stop Dr. Fauci and the coup d'état against the Constitution, human rights and liberal democracy globally.
Because this book threatens their trillion-dollar vaccine enterprise, Dr. Fauci and his allies in the medical cartel, the media and military will hurl fierce criticism and use censorship — to debunk and silence "The Real Anthony Fauci."
With your help, this book can play a transformational role in exposing Dr. Fauci as a charlatan and quack and in showing the world that Dr. Fauci, far from being a healer, is one the most noteworthy mass murderers in human history.
It is my hope that this book will motivate — and mobilize — millions more advocates for truth, health and democracy.
"The Real Anthony Fauci" publication date is Nov. 9. By pre-ordering your copy today, you'll help push the book to bestseller status, diminishing the powers of the censors to silence me. Thank you.

COVID Noncompliance Now Labeled Top 'Terror Threat'
By Dr. Joseph Mercola | August 25, 2021
When you think of potential terror threats, what comes to mind? Did opposing irrational and/or illegal COVID measures make your list? Well, it recently got top billing on the Department of Homeland Security's list of potential terror threats as we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Over the past 18 months, COVID countermeasures have become increasingly tyrannical, and we now appear to have reached a new high (or low, depending on your perspective). The U.S. government is actually viewing citizens who exercise their Constitutional rights as domestic terrorists, enemies of the state.
Dehumanizing Discrimination Against Unvaccinated
As reported by Daisy Luther with The Organic Prepper,1 "Shocking and dehumanizing discrimination against the unvaccinated is about to make life VERY difficult." She is, of course, referring to the media and government narrative that if anyone gets infected with SARS-CoV-2, it's the fault of some germ-ridden disease-spreading unvaccinated person.
Public officials and media pundits alike are seemingly intentionally fanning the flames of unveiled hatred against those who choose to not participate in the world's largest medical experiment and get a novel injection that programs your body to produce a disease-causing protein, the full ramifications of which won't be known for years.
Getting the shot is a patriotic duty, we've been told, and opting out is nothing short of a traitorous act, according to some. This kind of narrative is extremely dangerous, yet no one seems to care — not even the departments responsible for keeping this the land of the free.
As noted by Luther, the rhetoric now hurled at unvaccinated people would under normal circumstances be considered hate speech. Now, it's promoted as virtuous, and reporting a statistic or published medical finding that counters the official narrative that masks work, lockdowns are effective and the COVID shot is safe and effective is considered hate speech.
Can You See the Psychological Operation at Work?
It's important to realize that this insanity is not accidental. It's by design, and part of a sophisticated psychological operation to drive people mad. I wrote about this last week.
The article is no longer available, as all articles are removed after 48 hours, but you can still view the video I featured, which explains how mass psychosis is induced using fear, waves of increasing threat, isolation and other dehumanizing tricks of the psychological trade.
Once a population has sufficiently lost touch with reality and embraced a "magical rationale" where irrationality is justified, they become capable of unthinkable horrors and abuses against people believed to be responsible for their ongoing anxiety.
By convincing everyone that unvaccinated people are to blame for the never-ending pandemic, the pandemic industrial complex prevents the masses from identifying and turning on the real culprits — the string-pullers and beneficiaries of the psychological breakdown.
"It has happened many times in history: when human beings were used as slaves and property, when human beings were the subject of horrific experiments when the media and people in power deliberately manipulated human beings to believe that other humans weren't like them, and therefore, it was permissible to mistreat or abuse them," Luther writes.2
"As the saying goes, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And repeat it, they are. I think, regardless of our stance, we can all agree that fervently wishing for bad things to happen to those who believe differently and dehumanizing them for their beliefs is pretty awful.
Don Lemon of CNN believes the unvaccinated should not be allowed to buy food or work. Does this mean he believes that they should starve to death? …
CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner says that unvaccinated people shouldn't go to bars and restaurants. A doctor pondered the ethics of whether he could refuse to see unvaccinated patients in The New York Times.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's Big Kahuna of COVID, blames those not vaccinated for a new spike in cases … Alabama Governor Kay Ivey wants everyone to blame the unvaccinated for any cases of COVID that happen to occur …
That'll really be helpful if someone unhinged loses a loved one to COVID and decides to seek vengeance on some 'unvaccinated folk.' After all, the governor said it was their fault. Speaking of which, Nick Cohen of The Guardian said that it was only a matter of time before 'we turn on the unvaccinated.'"
Concerns for Lack of Vaccination Are Highly Irrational
Those who continue to pressure everyone to get vaccinated have simply failed to look at the most recent data, which clearly demonstrate that those who are vaccinated are actually FAR more likely to get COVID, and worse, contribute to the process of creating variants.
As recently reported by Israeli National News,3,4,5 recent data show Israelis who have received the COVID jab are 6.72 times more likely to get infected than people who have recovered from natural infection.
Among the 7,700 new COVID cases diagnosed so far during the current wave of infections that began in May 2021, 39% were vaccinated (about 3,000 cases), 1% (72 patients) had recovered from a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and 60% were neither vaccinated nor previously infected. Israeli National News notes:6
"With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.
By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave."
Penalties Large and Small Are Being Proposed
In addition to the penalties for lack of vaccination already mentioned in the quote above, Luther lists a number of others in her article, such as requiring unvaccinated people to:
Get tested daily at their own expense
Docking people's paychecks
Charging students nonrefundable quarantine fees
Denying medical care at hospitals
Canceling private insurance or raising premiums by thousands of dollars a year
Suspending gun permits and driver's licenses
Denying access to loans
Withholding government assistance and federal benefits like Social Security, VA benefits, subsidized housing and pensions
As noted by Luther, "The rabid contempt for those who think differently can lead nowhere good. For those who believe we should all get vaccinated or not, are you okay with this kind of dehumanization?"
Project Veritas Exposes Doxing Double-Standard
In the video above, Project Veritas' James O'Keefe exposes yet another double-standard that has become norm. Project Veritas has been accused of unethically doxing the rich and powerful, yet CNN a few weeks ago did the exact same thing to me.
CNN reporter Randi Kaye filmed herself ambushing staff at our corporate headquarters in Cape Coral, Florida, without blurring out the suite number. She then went to my home. As noted by O'Keefe, mainstream media routinely dox "the non-powerful" whose right to privacy is actually greater than government and media officials.
Project Veritas recently got banned from Twitter for publishing a video in which they confronted Facebook vice president Guy Rosen outside his home, asking questions about Facebook's hate speech policy. So, to recap, Project Veritas got banned from Twitter for doing the exact same thing CNN did to me — but didn't get banned for.
Artificial Intelligence Is Part of the New Battlefield
In mid-July 2021, surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a public advisory,7,8 calling COVID misinformation "an urgent threat to public health" that undermines "our ongoing work to end the COVID-19 pandemic." The advisory calls for software algorithms to be deployed by social media platforms to "avoid amplifying misinformation" and strengthening monitoring of misinformation.
Similarly, at a recent Health Information Management Systems Society conference in Las Vegas, Hans Kluge, Europe region director of the World Health Organization, called for the use of "digital health" and artificial intelligence to fight misinformation. Artificial intelligence could also be used to identify communities with low COVID jab rates so that "swift assistance" can be launched in those communities.
According to STAT News,9 Kluge has "established a WHO unit focused on behavioral and cultural insights to understand the drivers of vaccine hesitancy and develop programs to counteract it." Such programs include community outreach programs and identifying "champions" for the COVID jabs within religious communities, youth communities and the media.
Already, Kluge's team is working with an artificial intelligence tool called EARS (Early AI-supported Response with Social listening tool). It mines blogs, news articles and online forums in 20 countries and analyzes the narratives it finds.
It can then anticipate how the information will spread, and what the effects of the information might have. While not stated in the STAT article, it seems reasonable to assume EARS is also capable of predicting which narratives would most effectively counter the concerns people express on these mined platforms.
Chosen propaganda narratives can then be pumped out using bot farms, such as the one imaged below.10 It may be shocking to some to realize that many of the "people" who are in favor of the official COVID narrative are not real people at all.
There are tons of fake profiles run by bot farms on all social media platforms that generate massive amounts of propaganda, including accounts with blue checkmarks.
The blue checkmark is supposed to designate that a user's identity has been verified by Twitter and is "of public interest," but clearly, the authentication process lacks in some of the basics, such as making sure the user actually exists in physical form and has physical control over the account in question.
Anti-Digital Hate Group Promotes Digital Hate
A central cog in the network fanning the flames of hatred and attacks on people whose only sin is the desire to make decisions for themselves is a group called the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
It's founded by a British national and unregistered foreign agent named Imran Ahmed, who is also a member of the Steering Committee on Countering Extremism Pilot Task Force under the British government's Commission for Countering Extremism.
According to Ahmed, anyone who questions the rationale behind lockdowns, mask wearing or the safety and necessity of a COVID-19 injection may be prone to violent extremism, and the reason CNN trekked hundreds of miles across central Florida in search of me is because Ahmed has labeled me a top COVID misinformer.
In the CCDH's initial report, "The Anti-Vaxx Playbook,"11 I was identified as one of the six most influential "anti-vaxxers" online that must be silenced. This was followed by "The Disinformation Dozen"12 and "Disinformation Dozen: The Sequel,"13 in which the list of targets doubled from six to 12.
These last two reports are what everyone — politicians, attorneys general, social media platforms and "blue checkmark influencers" — are now using to "prove" I am the most-dangerous and prolific superspreader of misinformation on the net.14
Whose Interests Does CCDH Protect and Promote?
When you think about it, isn't it rather curious that government officials are actually targeting and violating the Constitutional rights of American citizens based on the opinions of an unregistered foreign agent who runs a tiny little "pop-up group" funded by dark money?15 As noted in a July 20, 2021, Drill Down article:16
"When a report goes viral in the news cycle, it only makes sense to question where it came from — especially if that report has influence all the way up to the Oval Office, affecting public health policy, while also having dangerous implications for free speech.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate … released a bombshell report earlier this week. It was picked up everywhere and had the following revelation: The majority of COVID misinformation came from just 12 people … But could this be a wily gambit by outside interests to justify the Biden administration's censorship partner-up with Big Tech?
According to The Federalist, 'The Center for Countering Digital Hate is an obscure international group reportedly based out of the United Kingdom and Washington, D.C., that works as an adviser to multiple governments and elite-run institutions about digital technology and regulation.
According to its website, the left-wing Center for Countering Digital Hate prides itself on 'researching, exposing, and then shutting down users and news sites it deems unacceptable in the digital sphere.'
Users and news sites it deems unacceptable? That seems potentially dangerous, considering we know very little about the CCDH.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) expressed his concerns on Twitter with the following post: 'Who is funding this overseas dark money group — Big Tech? Billionaire activists? Foreign governments? We have no idea. Americans deserve to know what foreign interests are attempting to influence American democracy' …
No one knows who funds them. No one knows who is driving their research. But their findings are being used in censorship efforts under the guise of controlling misinformation?"
Violating Bioethical Principles Puts Lives at Risk
The sad irony is that government officials are really the ones contributing to unnecessary death and suffering by not adhering to bioethical principles that are enshrined in law. These laws exist for a good reason. They protect people from unnecessary harm and unwanted medical risks.
As an experimental trial participant, which is what everyone is at the moment who accepts a COVID shot, you have the right to receive full disclosure of any adverse event risks. Based on that disclosure, you then have the right to decide whether you want to participate.
Adverse event risk disclosure should be provided at the level of detail disclosed in any drug package insert. However, the COVID shots have no such insert or detailed disclosure, and adverse event reports are even being suppressed and censored from the public.
Instead, as explained by the FDA,17 since the COVID shots are not yet licensed,18 rather than providing a package insert, the FDA directs health care providers to access a lengthy online "fact sheet" that lists clinical trial adverse events and ongoing updates of adverse events reported after emergency use administration to the public.
A shorter, separate, online fact sheet with far less information in it is available for patients — but, provider or patient, you still have to know where to look up each of the vaccines authorized for emergency use separately on the FDA website to access those fact sheets.19
Adverse event risks must also be communicated in a way that you can comprehend what the risks are. This means the disclosure must be written in eighth grade language. In clinical trials, researchers must actually verify participants' comprehension of the risks.
Failure to disclose these adverse effects, which is likely occurring in nearly every COVID injection case, results in an inability to give true informed consent as the person was never informed of all of the already well-established risks.
As just one example of many, Marie Follmer, in an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,20 said no one ever warned her there was a risk of myocarditis. Her athletic son, Greyson, took the shot and is now unable to do much of anything and she fears he might die.
She admits not doing any of her own research, blindly trusting what she was told. Now, she distrusts the whole process, including doctors, as all have so far refused to acknowledge that there might be a link to the shot, and no one knows how to make him better.
Most importantly, the acceptance of an experimental product must be fully voluntary and uncoerced. Enticement is forbidden. It's downright impossible to argue that the public messaging and incentives ranging from free junk food to million-dollar lotteries do not constitute coercion.
At the end of the day, if you decide you want to participate in a medical experiment, whatever it might be, that's up to you. But everyone else also has that same right to choose.
If you find aggression mounting against an unvaccinated friend or family member, thanks to the current indoctrination that encourages savage and irrational behavior, think of something you absolutely don't want done to your body, and then imagine being forced to do it just to maintain your right to enter a grocery store, buy insurance or keep your job.

Report Confirms Human Rights Violations in the 2019 U.S.-Backed Coup in Bolivia
By Ramona Wadi | Strategic Culture Foundation | August 23, 2021
A 471-page report by the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for Bolivia (GIEI-Bolivia) recently presented to Bolivian President Luis Arce in La Paz on Tuesday this week confirms the U.S.-backed coup's persecution of opponents, including "systematic torture and summary executions" in 2019. The report is based on interviews with 400 victims of the Anez regime and other witnesses, as well as 120,000 files related to abuses between September 1 and December 31, 2019.
The findings prompted Bolivian prosecutors to charge the self-styled "interim leader" Jeanine Anez with genocide. Anez faces charges over the massacres in Sacaba and Senkata, where 20 protestors were killed by the security forces.
At the announcement of her arrest in March this year, Anez tweeted, "They are sending me to detention for four months to await a trial for a 'coup' that never happened."
Yet the U.S. was swift to recognize Anez as interim president as well as to endorse the Organization of American State's (OAS) report in 2019, which alleged electoral fraud in Bolivia with the intent to keep Evo Morales in power.
The former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's address to the OAS office in Washington gives quite a succinct summary of U.S. interference in Latin America – a twisted narrative of alleged democratic intent trickling down from the U.S., when the facts speak otherwise. Pompeo spoke of the U.S. role in recognizing Juan Guaido as Venezuela's interim president and how members of the OAS followed suit, as well as a historical overview which attempted to disfigure the leftist movements in Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s as "producing repression for their own kind at home."
Pompeo also described Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela as the countries through which "we face stains of tyranny on a great canvas of freedom in our hemisphere," before moving on to praise the OAS for its role in ousting Morales. And as is typical of the U.S., with its long history of supporting military coups in the region, not a word was uttered about Anez's persecution of the indigenous in Bolivia.
Yet the OAS report was denounced by the New York Times as having "relied on incorrect data and inappropriate statistical techniques." The Center for Economic and Policy Research's Co-Director Mark Weisbrot declared, "If the OAS and Secretary General Luis Almagro are allowed to get away with such politically driven falsification of their electoral observation results again, this threatens not only Bolivian democracy but the democracy of any country where the OAS may be involved in elections in the future."
The GIEI report has established that the Anez regime committed summary executions, torture and sexual violence against indigenous people. Through the report, the Sacaba and Senkata massacres were revisited and will once again form part of Bolivia's most recent memory of U.S.-backed violence. Just a day prior to the Sacaba massacres, on November 14, 2019, Anez signed a decree which established impunity for Bolivia's armed forces.
Contrary to the rushed way in which the Trump Administration had recognised Anez as Bolivia's legitimate leader, the U.S. is reluctant to comment on the GIEI report findings which established the U.S.-backed regime as having committed human rights violations. This year, however, the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement in March after Anez's arrest, stating he was "deeply concerned by growing signs of anti-democratic behavior and politicization" with regard to Bolivia's quest for justice.
Of Bolivia's quest for justice now, the U.S. can hardly be expected to voice support. Yet the report goes a long way in overturning the U.S. intervention narrative. Bolivia's victims are victims of a U.S.-backed coup, and U.S.-funded political violence should equally share the spotlight now highlighting Anez's short-lived legacy of human rights violations in Bolivia.

The Bizarre Refusal to Apply Cost-Benefit Analysis to COVID Debates
By Glenn Greenwald | August 25, 2021
In virtually every realm of public policy, Americans embrace policies which they know will kill people, sometimes large numbers of people. They do so not because they are psychopaths but because they are rational: they assess that those deaths that will inevitably result from the policies they support are worth it in exchange for the benefits those policies provide. This rational cost-benefit analysis, even when not expressed in such explicit or crude terms, is foundational to public policy debates — except when it comes to COVID, where it has been bizarrely declared off-limits.
The quickest and most guaranteed way to save hundreds of thousands of lives with policy changes would be to ban the use of automobiles, or severely restrict their usage to those authorized by the state on the ground of essential need (e.g., ambulances or food-delivery vehicles), or at least lower the nationwide speed limit to 25 mph. Any of those policies would immediately prevent huge numbers of human beings from dying. Each year, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), "1.35 million people are killed on roadways around the world," while "crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States for people aged 1–54." Even with seat belts and airbags, a tragic number of life-years are lost given how many young people die or are left permanently and severely disabled by car accidents. Studies over the course of decades have demonstrated that even small reductions in speed limits save many lives, while radical reductions — supported by almost nobody — would eliminate most if not all deaths from car crashes.
Given how many deaths and serious injuries would be prevented, why is nobody clamoring for a ban on cars, or at least severe restrictions on who can drive (essential purposes only) or how fast (25 mph)? Is it because most people are just sociopaths who do not care about the huge number of lives lost by the driving policies they support, and are perfectly happy to watch people die or be permanently maimed as long as their convenience is not impeded? Is it because they do not assign value to the lives of other people, and therefore knowingly support policies — allowing anyone above 15 years old to drive, at high speeds — that will kill many children along with adults?
That may explain the motivation scheme for a few people, but in general, the reason is much simpler and less sinister. It is because we employ a rational framework of cost-benefit analysis, whereby, when making public policy choices, we do not examine only one side of the ledger (number of people who will die if cars are permitted) but also consider the immense costs generated by policies that would prevent those deaths (massive limits on our ability to travel, vastly increased times to get from one place to another, restrictions on what we can experience in our lives, enormous financial costs from returning to the pre-automobile days). So foundational is the use of this cost-benefit analysis that it is embraced and touted by everyone from right-wing economists to the left-wing European environmental policy group CIVITAS, which defines it this way:
Social Cost Benefit Analysis [is] a decision support tool that measures and weighs various impacts of a project or policy. It compares project costs (capital and operating expenses) with a broad range of (social) impacts, e.g. travel time savings, travel costs, impacts on other modes, climate, safety, and the environment.
This framework, above all else, precludes an absolutist approach to rational policy-making. We never opt for a society-altering policy on the ground that "any lives saved make it imperative to embrace" precisely because such a primitive mindset ignores all the countervailing costs which this life-saving policy would generate (including, oftentimes, loss of life as well: banning planes, for instance, would save lives by preventing deaths from airplane crashes, but would also create its own new deaths by causing more people to drive cars).
While arguments are common about how this framework should be applied and which specific policies are ideal, the use of cost-benefit analysis as the primary formula we use is uncontroversial — at least it was until the COVID pandemic began. It is now extremely common in Western democracies for large factions of citizens to demand that any measures undertaken to prevent COVID deaths are vital, regardless of the costs imposed by those policies. Thus, this mentality insists, we must keep schools closed to avoid the contracting by children of COVID regardless of the horrific costs which eighteen months or two years of school closures impose on all children.
It is impossible to overstate the costs imposed on children of all ages from the sustained, enduring and severe disruptions to their lives justified in the name of COVID. Entire books could be written, and almost certainly will be, on the multiple levels of damage children are sustaining, some of which — particularly the longer-term ones — are unknowable (long-term harms from virtually every aspect of COVID policies — including COVID itself, the vaccines, and isolation measures, are, by definition, unknown). But what we know for certain is that the harms to children from anti-COVID measures are severe and multi-pronged. One of the best mainstream news accounts documenting those costs was a January, 2021 BBC article headlined "Covid: The devastating toll of the pandemic on children."
The "devastating toll" referenced by the article is not the death count from COVID for children, which, even in the world of the Delta variant, remains vanishingly small. The latest CDC data reveals that the grand total of children under 18 who have died in the U.S. from COVID since the start of the pandemic sixteen months ago is 361 — in a country of 330 million people, including 74.2 million people under 18. Instead, the "devastating toll" refers to multi-layered harm to children from the various lockdowns, isolation measures, stay-at-home orders, school closures, economic suffering and various other harms that have come from policies enacted to prevent the spread of the virus:
From increasing rates of mental health problems to concerns about rising levels of abuse and neglect and the potential harm being done to the development of babies, the pandemic is threatening to have a devastating legacy on the nation's young. . . .
The closure of schools is, of course, damaging to children's education. But schools are not just a place for learning. They are places where kids socialize, develop emotionally and, for some, a refuge from troubled family life.
Prof Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, perhaps put it most clearly when he told MPs on the Education Select Committee earlier this month: "When we close schools we close their lives."
The richer you are, the less likely you are to be affected by these harms from COVID restrictions. Wealth allows people to leave their homes, hire private tutors, temporarily live in the countryside or mountains, or enjoy outdoor space at home. It is the poor and the economically deprived who bear the worst of these deprivations, which — along with not having children at all — may be one reason they are assigned little to no weight in mainstream discourse.
"The stress the pandemic has put on families, with rising levels of unemployment and financial insecurity combined with the stay-at-home orders, has put strain on home life up and down the land," the BBC notes. But even for adults and those who are middle-class and above, severe and sustained isolation from community and life is bound to produce serious mental health harms, as two mental health experts I interviewed all the way back in April, 2020, warned.
None of this is to say that these are easy calculations. How COVID deaths or hospitalizations are weighed against the grave harms from anti-COVID restrictions is a complex question, one that almost certainly yields different answers in different countries and cultures. It may even yield a different policy answer in the same country as the virus and the social conditions which COVID produces evolve. One can debate how the contagiousness of COVID compares to the huge number of people who lose their lives or ability to lead healthy lives every year (so often, this argument is met with the more or less accurate but irrelevant distinction that COVID is contagious while car accidents are not: how does that bear on one's willingness to endorse road policies (such as allowing driving cars at high speeds) that will inevitably kill large numbers of people or one's refusal to consider the countervailing costs of anti-COVID measures?).
Put another way, this is not an argument in favor of or against any particular policy undertaken in the name of fighting COVID. What it is, instead, is an attempt to highlight the pervasive and deeply misguided refusal to assign any costs to the harms caused by anti-COVID policies themselves.
Perhaps this irrational mindset is explainable by the fact that COVID hospitalizations and deaths are more dramatic than the more insidious, lurking harms from sustained life disruptions. Perhaps the rapidly declining rates of child-rearing in the West make it more difficult to observe or care about the damage all of this is doing to the developmental abilities and mental health of children. Perhaps other factors — from a psychological desire for parental protection in the form of authoritarian power or a warped sense of "safetyism" — is rendering any cost-benefit analysis morally unacceptable. None of those speculative theories, however, accounts for the virtually unanimous refusal to consider a ban on cars or a 25 mph nationwide speed limit; that willingness to sacrifice huge numbers of lives by opposing life-saving automobile policies seems driven by the inconvenience such policies would impose on particular groups of people.
Whatever is true about motives, what is unacceptable — sociopathic, really — is the insistence on assigning severe costs to just one side of the ledger (harms from COVID itself) while categorically refusing to recognize let alone value the costs on the other side of the ledger (from severe, enduring anti-COVID disruptions to and restrictions on life). Given the reflexive rage that is produced when one tries to make this argument — what immediately emerges are accusations that one is indifferent to COVID deaths — I wanted to walk through the evidence and rationale demonstrating why this approach is reckless, immoral and irrational. That is the argument I examine in both this article and in a 30-minute video I produced for Rumble.

Northern Ireland Doctor, Anne McCloskey, suspended over online video showing concern over vaccinating kids
By Christina Maas | Reclaim The Net | August 25, 2021
A Northern Ireland doctor has been suspended over a YouTube video (now only available on Odysee after being deleted by YouTube) where she expressed concerns about young people taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
A Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) investigation is being carried out as a result of concern raised over Dr. McCloskey's comments in the video.
Her comments on the COVID-19 vaccinations appeared in a video posted online after treating patients at an after-hours clinic.
During the investigation period, McCloskey, a former Aontú councillor, will not be permitted to participate in health service activities.
Several assertions were made by Dr. McCloskey in the nine-minute video uploaded on Sunday, among them that she had come across a girl that had a blood clot in her upper arm and alleged she spoke to a boy who couldn't get out of bed two weeks after getting vaccinated.
Allegedly, GPs and members of the public have complained about the video, according to the BBC.
"There is no evidence to support Dr. McCloskey's comments," the BBC stated.
According to the Derry GP, "I dealt with very many sick, distressed, worried, traumatized people, almost all of them, with the exception of small children, have been double jabbed."
McCloskey said that some vaccinated young people she treated at the weekend became ill because they were "damaged" by vaccination.
She said that many young people had been "coerced, bribed, or bullied" into getting them.
She stated, "… This whole hype has largely been a figment of the media, and the government and their lying scientific advisors and their deceptions."
According to the Health and Social Care Board (HSCB), Dr. McCloskey was suspended "as a precautionary measure," while an investigation was being conducted.
"Suspension is not an automatic occurrence when undertaking an investigation" a spokesman stated, "but may be necessary where there are concerns regarding patient safety and in the public interest."
Dr. McCloskey, on the other hand, told BBC News NI she stands by her views.
As per the HSCB, Dr. McCloskey works for Western Urgent Care, which provides GP out-of-hours services in the western area, on a sessional basis, however, the Western Urgent Care (WUC) is also conducting its own "investigations and internal processes in regard to the matter," the statement reads.

In the Name of 'Public Safety' Australia Descends Into a Nightmarish Orwellian Police State
By Robert Bridge | Strategic Culture Foundation | August 25, 2021
The land Down Under appears to be reverting back to its original status as a penal colony as government officials, looking more like prison wardens than any servants of the people, clamp down on demonstrators weary of more Covid lockdowns.
A heavy police presence in the major Australian cities on the weekend didn't stop thousands of protesters from taking to the streets in what many saw as a last-ditch effort to protect their severely threatened liberties and freedoms.
The protests came after New South Wales announced its second extended lockdown, which puts Sydney's 5 million residents under strict curfew conditions until mid-September. The wait will seem all the more excruciating, however, as rumors are flying that the shelter in place orders may be extended all the way until January.
Meanwhile in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city behind Sydney, citizens face similar restrictions, which mean that – aside from going shopping within a designated radius from their homes, exercising for an hour a day outdoors, and going to work so long as they are engaged in "essential employment" – have essentially become prisoners inside of their own homes.
At this point in Australia's history, the only thing that remains certain is the uncertainty, which makes the lockdowns all the more unbearable.
Images from Australia's two major cities on Saturday showed powder keg conditions as demonstrators squared off against police, who responded with batons, pepper spray and mass arrests (It will interesting to see if Big Media describes the police actions against the lockdown protesters in the same compassionate way it described the actions taken against Australia's very own Black Lives Matter protests around the same time last year. As the Guardian sympathetically reported: "At least 20,000 attended the Sydney [BLM] march which passed off peacefully, except for ugly scenes when police officers used pepper spray on protesters who had flowed into Central station after the rally finished." It will be advisable not to hold your breath). In live footage obtained by Facebook user 'Real Rukshan,' large groups of police are seen confronting individual citizens, seemingly guilty of nothing else aside from just being there.
In one scene (at the 2:10 marker), an elderly man who appears to be leaving a Starbuck's coffee shop is surrounded by no less than five police officers, who proceed to handcuff the man and, presumably, take him to prison. In another scene (at the 0:30 mark), two men are seen standing in front of the Bank of Melbourne confronted by six officers. In front of them on the street are four mounted officers astride anxious horses. The feeling conjured up in these incidences is the same: authoritarian police-state overkill.
Given the massive police presence amid the steady deterioration of basic human rights a person might get the impression that Australia is really dealing with an existential crisis. While that may be true with regards to obesity, drug abuse and homelessness, it seems to be a real exaggeration when it comes to Covid-19. After all, while evidence of the above mentioned scourges is visible everywhere in the country, the only place the coronavirus seems to exist in Australia is on the nightly news channels (which, by the way, have done a very poor job of keeping their audiences up to date on latest developments. Sources in New Zealand, for example, have informed that the media there has largely ignored the story of anti-lockdown protests happening just across the Tasman Sea).
For example, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian, in an effort to portray the pandemic as enemy number one, expressed from the boob tube her "deepest, deepest sympathies" to the families of three people who died overnight from/with the coronavirus. Who were these fatalities? The public was not informed of their identities, but Berejiklian described them as "a man in his 80s, and a man in his 90s, and a female in her 90s."
It's just a hunch, but could the comorbidity in each of those "tragic" cases have been that silent killer popularly known as ripe old age? Yes, every life is precious and worth saving, but is Australian officialdom secretly shooting for absolute immortality among the population and not just prevention? That would certainly be the height of irony if true considering that the effort is killing just about everyone. In fact, it seems that the real pandemic attacking the Australian people is government-sponsored fear.
Meanwhile, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews added insult to injury when he commanded from his bully pulpit that citizens, now deprived of their favorite drinking holes to while away the jobless hours, were forbidden from removing their masks to drink alcohol in the great outdoors. As to whether the consumption of a non-alcoholic beverage outdoors would also fall within the tight confines of the mask regime, dear leader did not say. However, the answer seems pretty clear since the state is actually using police helicopters to shoo away sunbathers from the nation's many famous beaches.
All of this insanity has befallen the people Down Under after the continent has witnessed the barest uptick of Covid cases. In the state of New South Wales, for example, where Sydney is located, there were just 825 acquired infections reported on Saturday, an increase from the 644 the day prior. In the state of Victoria, home to Melbourne, the situation appears even less worrying, with just 61 cases reported as of Saturday. These low infection rates, taken together with a high level of public skepticism with regards to the safety of the Covid vaccines, translates into just 29 percent of the population opting to be jabbed to date.
So as the petty tyrants Down Under seem more concerned with getting every single Australian citizen the Big Pharma jab – together with the lifetime of booster shots and lockdowns that will certainly follow – the populace is more concerned about how to save their collective health, sanity and jobs. That's no easy task when the police give a hard time even to people who are found to be walking their dogs without a face mask on. These days even man's best friend seems to have it better than the people struggling to survive Down Under.

Ohio state representative Al Cutrona introduces anti-social-media-censorship bill
By Dan Frieth | Reclaim The Net | August 24, 2021
Representative Al Cutrona of Canfield, R-59th, wants legislation passed that would forbid social media platforms from censoring their users.
If Cutrona's bill moves forward, it would prohibit social network sites removing users or editing posts for their views and does not include posts that break state or federal laws, such as encouraging violence or criminal activity.
Rep Al Cutrona had this to say: "These monopolized Big Tech platforms should not have the power to dictate what they deem as acceptable speech, that's exactly why we have the First Amendment."
Cutrona's office states that the same legislation has been introduced in 29 additional states, with a quote in the press release saying:
"With social media being a quintessential form of communication these days, this bill is to ensure people's constitutional right to freedom of speech is not infringed on. As Americans, obviously we are not all going to agree with one another on thoughts and ideas, and that's OK. But it's surely not the job of Big Tech employees to choose favorites on what deserves censorship based on ambiguous policies and their personal views."
Users would have the right to appeal censorship decisions and companies have to explain why their speech was removed.
As part of transparency regulations, social media firms would also have to publicly reveal their content management practices and explain how their material is selected and targeted.

S. Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to 'take every action available' to stop Biden from 'illegally' mandating vaccines
RT | August 24, 2021
South Dakota governor and anti-lockdown advocate Kristi Noem has promised to do all it takes to "protect" residents from a hypothetical federal vaccine mandate after the Pfizer-BioNTech shot received full approval from regulators.
Noem has vowed to take the Joe Biden administration to court if it tries to impose a blanket vaccination requirement on Americans, claiming that such an order would be illegal.
"If Joe Biden illegally mandates vaccines, I will take every action available under the law to protect South Dakotans from the federal government," Noem sounded off on Twitter.
The tweet came hours after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted its full approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, one of three that have been used as part of the mass vaccination drive in the US. The others remain approved on an emergency basis only.
President Biden cited the long-awaited green light from the FDA to urge private businesses, nonprofits and other organizations to "step up the vaccine requirements" and demand that employees and visitors show proof of vaccination. "Require it," Biden said, doubling down on his previous rhetoric that total immunization was necessary to put an end to Covid-19 in the US.
Although Biden had already mandated all federal workers to either get a Covid-19 jab or face regular testing, and recently extended a similar requirement to staff at certain nursing homes, he has not floated a broader federal vaccine mandate – something that is considered to be out of his reach.
In late July, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky caused a stir when she appeared to suggest the administration was "looking into" such a mandate, only to walk back her comments later the same day and "clarify" that she was speaking about mandates by private companies and some government agencies.
Noem's pre-emptive vow to defy mandatory vaccinations has earned her both praise and criticism online. Opponents of the administration's vaccine policy lauded her for "fighting for freedom," some even saying they were contemplating a move from California to South Dakota. Vaccination advocates, however, blasted the governor for letting constituents "die" for her "political ambitions," and urged her to encourage immunizations instead.
Biden has waged a war of words with Republican governors, such as Florida's Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott in Texas, who have been at odds with the Democratic administration's Covid-19 policy, banning businesses and schools from requiring masks.
Biden argued that requiring masks is "doing the right thing," saying it was in the governor's "power" to "save lives."
"I say to these governors: Please help, but if you aren't going to help at least get out of the way," he said on August 3.
Republicans argue that masks and vaccines should be left up to personal choice, noting that nobody is prohibited from wearing face coverings or scheduling vaccinations.
There has been a steady increase in new cases in South Dakota over the past several weeks, but no deaths were reported since last weekend. And despite the recent surge, South Dakota still remains below the US national average in cases.
About 70% of the state's adult population has received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, including 61% that have been fully inoculated. Overall, some 48% of the state's total population has been vaccinated fully.

Gymnastics, Medicaid and taxes, oh my! Week 1 of the legislative session is all wrapped up.
By Kelan Lyons @Kelan_Lyons
Kelan Lyons
On Friday afternoon, Logan Dooley and the Flying Ace All Stars transformed the stately and historic Capitol Rotunda into Utah's most beautiful gymnasium. Dooley and several peers, all professional athletes, twirled and backflipped beneath the colorful paintings of pioneers. Their falls were broken not by the hard marble floor, but by two giant trampolines that launched them high above the steps leading to the ceremonial Supreme Court chamber.
A bird's-eye view of Friday's Tourism Day on the Hill.
Dooley hoped all the bouncing and flipping would inspire those in the Rotunda—munching on sandwiches, wraps and ice cream for Tourism Day on the Hill—to leave the Capitol feeling inspired to embark on an adventure of their own. "We are here to entertain and have fun," Dooley said before his set.
The fanfare was a celebration of Utah's tourism industry, which Vicki Varela said generated $1.3 billion in state and local tax revenues last year. That's $1,375 less that each Utah household had to pay in taxes in 2017. "I always say we should hug the tourists when we see them on the street because they're saving us from paying higher taxes," Varela, the state's director of tourism, said. "Tourism is one of the very few parts of state government where we can measure very precisely that we're generating revenue for the state."
Dooley and the All Stars' aerial wizardry was an apt conclusion to Week 1 of the legislative session, a political carnival that'll stretch on for the next eight weeks. In his State of the State speech on Wednesday night, Gov. Gary Herbert echoed House Speaker Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, by calling for a record-breaking $225 million tax cut. A few breaths later, Herbert said lawmakers will need to alter the voter-approved Medicaid expansion that's expected to provide health coverage to 150,000 Utahns come April.
On Monday, the session's first day, protestors rallied at the Capitol to support Proposition 3, the Medicaid expansion ballot initiative that voters passed in November. Citing concerns over cost, Republicans are mulling over advancing Senate Bill 196, which would cap enrollment in the program and institute a work requirement for beneficiaries. The Senate voted in favor of the bill on Wednesday. They'll vote again in the coming days, once its fiscal note is finalized. If it passes the Senate, SB 196 will be sent to the House for approval. According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Herbert is likely to sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk.
Tourism Day's cacophony carried throughout the Capitol's four floors, to where Andrew Riggle, a public policy analyst for the Salt Lake City nonprofit Disability Law Center, sat in his wheelchair and prepared for the afternoon's committee hearings. Riggle has been at the Capitol for all five of the session's days so far, keeping tabs on bills and policies that would expand services to people with disabilities. But preserving Prop 3's Medicaid expansion is his number one priority.
"It is the thing that will make the difference for 150,000 Utahns," Riggle said. "And many of those individuals will have disabilities, especially mental health needs, and there are some individuals who are eligible now but who have a significant out-of-pocket cost attached to it because they have to spend down in order to be eligible."
Riggle has been observing Utah's legislative sessions for the past 14 years. "I don't remember anything like this," he said. It looks to him like the Legislature is actively and directly opposing Utahns' collective will, choosing instead to overwrite a ballot initiative that passed with 53 percent of voters' support. "Even for Utah," Riggle said, "this is unique."
As the aerialists flipped and spun below, Riggle remained concerned about what was happening a few floors above, where lawmakers were wrestling with how to change the state's expansion of Medicaid. "The guys on the trampoline are a nice visual," he said. "You have something to point to and say, 'This is what our money is going to. This is what it's going to support.' Poor people, because they don't have the time, because they're working a job, they're taking care of their kids, or they're too sick, can't be up here."
Those are the people, Riggle said, he keeps in mind when he goes to the Capitol each morning. "If folks aren't able to be here, they don't have a voice," he mused. "Legislators don't hear it like they're hearing the echoing in the Rotunda now. And, if they aren't able to see it, if they aren't able to hear it, they can pretend it doesn't exist."

Naya Rivera, 'Glee' Star, Missing After Swimming Accident
Ventura County Sheriff's department is conducting "an active search and rescue operation"
Ross A. Lincoln | July 8, 2020 @ 10:24 PM	Last Updated: July 13, 2020 @ 10:16 AM
Naya Rivera, the singer and actress best known for her acclaimed portrayal of Santana Lopez on "Glee," is missing after a swimming accident in Ventura County, California.
Rivera had rented a boat at Lake Piru, a reservoir near Santa Clarita in nearby Los Angeles county, which departed from the dock around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. She was swimming with her 4-year-old son when, for unknown reasons, she submerged and did not resurface, Captain Eric Buschow of the Ventura County Sheriff's department told TheWrap.
"She's missing at this point and we have an active search and rescue operation trying to locate her," Buschow said.

As the sun began to rise on Thursday morning, the Ventura County Sheriff's office said via Twitter that Lake Piru would be closed to the public today as the search continued.
"The search for Naya Rivera will continue this morning at Lake Piru. The lake will be closed to the public while search operations continue," the tweet read. "Dive teams from throughout the region will be assisting us through mutual aid."

Watchtower-class starbase (TOS-53)
The Federation asserted its sovereignty in space space through a series of starbases, which could be located on a planet's surface or on a space station, or a combination of both. This network of starbases provided a wide range of services; starbases could act as supply posts, recreation facilities, scientific outposts, trade hubs, and administrative centers. While all starbases provided each of these services, many were noted for their superiority in one or two specific areas.[1]

Excelsior class (ST-06)
Excelsior class refit (ST-07)
In October 2284, the U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000, the first of a new class, was commissioned. This vessel was the newest in Starfleet, and it incorporated many experimental operating systems.[3] Originally designed as a test-bed for the experimental transwarp drive, the Excelsior was called "The Great Experiment" by many in influential circles.[1] These ships were the newest of any in Starfleet and incorporated experimental technology in most of the components required to operate a starship. With so many new systems aboard these vessels, the process of testing them was slow. Prior to being installed, each component was tested and retested until it met standards. Nevertheless, when the Excelsior was taken out for trials, the evaluation teams were constantly faced with primary system malfunctions that would not allow any of the secondary or backup systems to be tested. This caused the evaluators to deal with these new components on a one-at-a-time basis, and thus creating time delays in the commissioning of the class.[3]
The Excelsior class underwent a number of late design changes when the transwarp project ultimately failed. While transwarp was never realized, designers were unwilling to cast aside what was otherwise a sound cruiser design. The transwarp engines were removed in favor of conventional linear warp drive engines. The Excelsior class could cruise at Warp 8, sustain speeds of Warp 10 for several hours, and reach Warp 13 when necessary. This made it by far the fastest Starfleet vessel for almost five decades.[31]

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B
U.S.S. Enterprise-B (ST-07)
The Excelsior-class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B was launched from Earth orbit in late October 2292, with Captain John Harriman commanding.[3] There was some opposition to the new Enterprise being an Excelsior class ship. If Starfleet wanted to retain the Enterprise name, they argued, it should go to one of the new Constellation class cruisers, with their distinctive quadruple nacelle design. In the end, the Excelsior class kept the Enterprise name because this class was becoming the new workhorse of Starfleet, much like the Constitution class of a few decades earlier, and Starfleet believed that the Enterprise name should be given to a ship class that would have high visibility.[1]

It's incredible how many articles out there assume everyone understands SEO, also known as Search Engine Optimisation. While it's true that SEO is a commonly used online thing, and many people out there will have come across this mysterious entity at one time or another, it's also a fact that not everyone has, and the rules do keep changing. To make matters worse, the reasons why business owners need to be thinking about SEO web page content are often obscured by bizarre marketing talk, hype and a focus on promises with no real explanation of how they are achieved.
All too often, people write to me and ask why they need SEO web page content, and, if it's all so obvious, how come it's all so confusing. It doesn't have to be confusing, though. In fact, it can be easy. If you're one of the many perplexed out there, by the time you've read this, things should make much more sense.
Search Engine Optimisation is the art of technically manipulating the content on web sites so that Google and other search engines love it. When search engines love it, they want to shout about it, and they do this by making these web sites known to the very people who want to find them. Think of the search engines as a kind of enormous client/customer matching service, if that helps. Good SEO web page content results in better search engine rankings, which means more people find your site and buy your stuff.
Great news all round, then!
When the internet was in its infancy, web pages were dominated by a technique called keyword stuffing, among other less reputable things. In simple terms, keyword stuffing occurs when someone in-charge of a computer fills a web page with so many keywords that the effect is confusing and annoying. So what it comes down to is this: good SEO web page content writing is all about compromise. Fluid writing that makes the reader smile and think, along with enough technical prowess to make the search engines sit up and really take notice.

This is another one of the early maps. Unlike most of the others in the series, there are connections between passages that allow access through this complex without going through any of the rooms.
I thought I'd give Game Chef a shot this year even though I didn't have a lot of available time. But, ultimately, there wasn't enough inspiration and enough time to work it all out in the short period available. So this is just an incomplete, preliminary draft of some first thoughts (plus the half-page chart idea).
The general ideas behind the game were to have a game in which bees are seeking to develop technology in order to improve their hive. But how this is expressed and what the steps of play are -even whether this is a solo game, almost like a hex crawl RPG, or whether it could be a multi player game (either competitive or cooperative)- and what other levels might also fit in.
The reason for posting this is to see if there are some ideas that are good enough to resonate with others. Maybe someone reading this will have some comments about the idea andit'll turn into a collaboration, or just some general ideas will resonate with someone else, and the discussion will help push things along a little more.
The graphic experiment in this map was the (relative) ghosting of the secret rooms as a lighter appearance, without the heavy line delineating the other rooms and hallways.
The rooms are also more random and irregular, even compared to each other. The whole thing may not come together as some others in this series, but then, this was actually one of the earliest ones.
This map is very deliberately intended to be not just an intersection between a couple different passageways, but to specifically be a location for an encounter to take place (Balrog optional).
Graphically, this one's different than the others in the series. I've generally settled on a style I've been using for most of the series (I love Dyson-style hatching as much as the next mapper, but some variety is good), but it's not an absolute requirement for these, and I'll likely do some other variants later on.
This map, along with the next few in the coming weeks, were drawn for this series at the end of 2015, but got scanned and put away in a different folder, so they fell out of the posting sequence until I recently came across them. I've already jumped out of sequence with Intersection O, the previous post in the series.


The Galena Bay Trail is a short loop trail (750m) with two beach accesses and a hill-top viewpoint, located at the Galena Bay ferry landing on Highway 23 north of Nakusp. Its location makes it an excellent place for the whole family to explore and get a bit of exercise while waiting for the ferry. Please sign in at the sign kiosk so we can track how much use the trail is getting, and feel free to leave comments and suggestions.
The Galena Bay Trail is under tenure with Rec Sites and Trails BC and is designated as Multi-Use (Non-Motorized). It is most suited to hiking, biking and snowshoeing. NACFOR has funded the construction of the trail with some financial and in-kind help from Columbia Basin Trust, Rec Sites and Trails BC, Regional District of Central Kootenay and Columbia Power. NACFOR will be conducting the trail maintenance going forward.

I was joking on Twitter about Bielsa weakening our U23s by lumbering Corberan with Harrison and Baker in lieu of Clarke and Shackleton but they were both quite good (registering an assist and a goal respectively). However, when Clarke came on it completely changed the complexion of the game. I think he had a hand in every goal from that point onward, including a lovely finish from the edge of the box. Admittedly he's only really got one move (at this moment in time) but it's hard to argue with how effective it is. It's all too easy to get too excited by the potential of an Academy graduate but I think if an impartial observer saw that match they'd have to concede that he was the most influential player.
No wonder Pep likes the cut of his jib then.
Tommy wrote: [. Admittedly he's only really got one move (at this moment in time) but it's hard to argue with how effective it is.
yeah but he does it just as well in either direction, cutting in from the left or the right. in this case "he's only really got one move" is kind of like saying "he's only really got one helicopter" when discussing personal wealth.
True enough, I think it's reached the point where I'm trying to find something critical to say to offset the amount of praise I give him. He's obviously got a lot to learn but I think he's at the right place to do it. Our facilities are decent and as well as Bielsa, Corberan and the other coaching staff it can't hurt spending time around a player as good as Pablo Hernandez.
Bamford and Brown both started for U23s this afternoon, at 1pm. Home v Barnsley. 1-0 down after 22 mins.
Looked just a tweak and precautionary. He's liable to have problems, given his original injury.
I'm thinking Pablo central and Clarke out wide for a while.
fackin lutv. it always tells me it can't find my location and then that they will notify me when a stream is available when one of these second halves is going on.
i think i confused it with having my 'holiday' login added in with my original 'home' login on my phone. i've cleared cookies associated with the app and tried reinstalling it but i never get back to the login screen.
Cooper seemed impressed with his young teamates.
Currently playing Crewe, with Izzy B and Phillips involved. 1-0 up, Brown the scorer.
2-0 after 75 mins - Brown scores again.
Final score 2-0. Only saw second half, but we looked totally dominant [as usual]. Phillips cruising around at the back, a clear class above. Brown came through unscathed, if still looking rusty. Stevens impressive too.

No matter its size, the bedroom should be a place to retreat at the end of a busy day; a sanctuary for you to relax and unwind in whether awake or asleep.
Unarguably one of the most personal rooms of the home, it's important to make it a place you actually like to be in. That's why when it comes to decorating and styling a small bedroom, it's important to utilise the shape and space of your room to avoid it from feeling cluttered.
Whether it's an inner-city loft or re-purposed attic, here are our tips for making the most of a small bedroom.
Get creative with your storage — small rooms usually mean limited wall space so it's important to use each wall wisely. Try high overhead shelving above your bed for storing books, or opt for a hanging shelf that doubles as art. A bed with built-in storage is always helpful in small rooms. You can be sure your keepsakes and clothes remain dust-free, and mess is instantly minimised.
While it may seem contradictory, going for larger-sized furniture pieces can often help a room to look less busy. Clean lines will create more space, while a lot of smaller items can leave the room feeling chaotic.
The key is to find pieces that are multipurpose; a large bedside table with extra storage will make your room look much tidier than a cluster of cupboards and tables. Opt for minimalist-look pieces to make the bedroom feel more spacious and always choose designs with doors or drawers to conceal messy piles of clothes. Unless you're meticulous about your storage organisation, open shelving can emphasise a small room's limited space.
Having too many hues in a small space can leave it looking confused and busy. Instead, help to maximise the bedroom space by using a limited colour palette.
Working with a small number of hues doesn't necessarily mean all-white or monochrome; there are interesting ways to inject colour whether it be in the form of an artwork, your linen choice or even indoor greenery.
Start by deciding upon the colour scheme you're going to work within and then later add in different coloured finishes. If the colour scheme is soft pinks and whites, black statement pieces can give the room a focal point and help to set the mood.
Trick the eye with a mirror. Large mirrors will make the room appear bigger and help to bounce light around.
Avoid mirrors with heavy, dark frames as they can look bulky and ruin the room's flow. Ceiling to wall mirrors are most effective, however even small wall-based mirrors can have a huge impact.
Instead of cramping bedside tables with lamps, why not hang them? Hanging bedside lights will free up space, helping the room to feel more open. Plus, with so many different styles available, it's a great chance to give your bedroom a modern update.
