In Michigan, we were told that we had a secure election system. Then we discovered that a CPP Foreign National had voted in the presidential election. Then we learned that 16 foreign nationals had voted. Last week, the count is not 80.

All Foreigners Want to Follow Rules – CCP Voter is MISSING

https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/bench-warrant-issued-after-accused-noncitizen-voter-misses-michigan-court-date

A bench warrant has been issued for a noncitizen accused of illegally voting in Michigan who failed to appear for a court date. This incident draws attention to concerns about noncitizens participating in US elections. Authorities are now seeking to locate the individual following their failure to appear before the court. The case underscores the ongoing scrutiny of voter rolls and election integrity issues in the state.

Specifically, the sources state that the decision to issue a bench warrant for Haoxiang Gao, a University of Michigan student accused of illegally voting despite not being a U.S. citizen, was made by Judge J. Cedric Simpson of District 14A Court. This decision occurred after a bench conference with Gao’s lawyer.
Haoxiang Gao, a Chinese national, is facing two felony charges for allegedly casting a ballot while ineligible and lying on the voter registration form. He failed to appear for a scheduled probable-cause hearing, which had been previously delayed. Federal law requires voters in U.S. elections to be citizens, and authorities allege Gao falsely claimed citizenship when registering.

If convicted, Gao could face up to nine years in prison and potential deportation. This case has drawn attention as it highlighted a loophole in Michigan’s same-day registration system, leading lawmakers and state officials to propose measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Republicans in Michigan have used Gao’s case to advocate for stricter voting laws, including requiring proof of citizenship when registering and implementing continual citizenship checks for registered voters. Democrats have indicated they will propose legislation to stop noncitizen voting without requiring broad citizenship checks.

 

SoS Blunder Barbie – Does Not Comply with Subpoena

https://www.themidwesterner.news/2025/04/matt-hall-jay-deboyer-rachelle-smit-blast-jocelyn-bensons-refusal-to- comply-with-subpoena/

Republican lawmakers, including Matt Hall, Jay DeBoyer, and Rachelle Smit, are criticizing Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for allegedly refusing to comply with a legislative subpoena. The subpoena is reportedly related to matters under the Secretary of State’s purview, though the specific details are not fully elaborated in this summary. Lawmakers are expressing frustration over what they perceive as a lack of cooperation and transparency from Benson’s office. This situation highlights ongoing political tensions and oversight efforts within Michigan state government. The article suggests a dispute over the extent of legislative authority in demanding information from executive branch offices.

Details:
  • Michigan House representatives have stated that Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is stonewalling the House’s requests for election information.
  • Benson explicitly said she would not comply with subpoenas that were issued by the House Election Integrity Committee.
  • These subpoenas were seeking training materials provided to clerks and election workers by Benson’s office in past elections.  This is public record and segments of those materials have been used in lawsuits against Benson.
  • Benson claimed she would not comply with the subpoenas due to “security concerns”.  But what are those security concerns?  We know who the county clerks are already!!
  • Rep. Jay DeBoyer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Rachelle Smit, who chairs the Election Integrity Committee, are the representatives seeking these materials. They noted their extensive background as county clerks provides them with unique qualifications to scrutinize the documents.
  • DeBoyer believes that something is being hidden. He stated that his interest is in ensuring elections are run according to the law, not in jeopardizing security. He urged Benson to respond to the subpoenas to fulfill her public pledges for transparency.
  • Speaker of the House Matt Hall also expressed frustration with Benson and obtained subpoena powers for his Oversight subcommittees to get information like training manuals to ensure clerks are being instructed correctly.
  • Hall suspects Benson would seek prosecutions through the Attorney General’s office to keep this information silent if they tried to obtain it directly from clerks.
  • The decision to issue the subpoenas was a result of persistent delays from Benson’s office, with Hall stating they had heard “I’ll get that to you tomorrow” for weeks.
  • Hall predicts that Benson’s vow to not comply with the House subpoenas will result in legal action and will wind up in court. He anticipates that Benson will lose in court again, they will obtain the training materials, but it will come at a significant cost to taxpayers and be a distraction.
  • Hall also mentioned past difficulties with Benson’s office, citing an instance during the 2020 election where she allegedly stonewalled a request to testify before a committee until the legislative term ended.

Using AI to Draft Legislation

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ai-robotics-combo-will-all-employees-be-replaced

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), a small autocratic country in the Middle East, is already way “ahead” of this slow “democratic” transition to AI.In a world first, the UAE is using AI to both track the effects of existing legislation and write drafts of new legislation. Presumably, the president of the UAE will review the legislation prior to enacting it. Let’s hope so, as there would then be at least one human in the loop.

The UAE considers using AI to write legislation to be 70 percent more efficient than relying on human legislators to write laws. How that remarkably round number was arrived at is unclear. But as UAE citizens cannot vote, they could essentially become forced laborers working not only for the president of the UAE but also for AI, given that nobody understands exactly how AI comes up with its recommendations.

Handing over so much power, up to and including “AI communism,” whether in the form of political power to legislate or industrial power that replaces trillions of dollars worth of human labor, is an immense concentration of power in the hands of whoever controls AI. That could be a dictator, an oligarchy, an elected official who accrues too much power, or a hacker. It could even be AI itself, if it goes rogue or is irretrievably granted that power at some point in the future.

Communists have long promoted the idea of full mechanization to “free” humans of the need to labor. In their “utopian” schemes, full mechanization would allow humans the free time to pursue whatever they want, including leisure, art, and family. With the rise of mechanization, automation, robots, and AI, a new utopianism is coming that will appeal to the “Silicon Valley proletariat” of coders, programmers, and other tech workers.

With AI, this coming “tech vanguard” can seek an AI communism, in which humans frolic in nature while being watched over by the machine. It sounds dystopian and easily manipulable by Leninists if not Stalinists. But its rosy-glassed adherents will see it the other way around. They have likely read Richard Brautigan’s 1967 poem envisioning a “cybernetic ecology”:

where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace.

 

AI Wrote Bar Exam Questions

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/24/california-bar-exam-ai

The state bar of California has disclosed that some multiple-choice questions in a problem-plagued bar exam were developed with the aid of artificial intelligence.

Katie Moran, an associate professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law who specializes in bar exam preparation, told the newspaper: “It’s a staggering admission.

“The State Bar has admitted they employed a company to have a non-lawyer use AI to draft questions that were given on the actual bar exam,” she said. “They then paid that same company to assess and ultimately approve of the questions on the exam, including the questions the company authored.”

Andrew Perlman, dean of Suffolk University Law School and an advisory council member of the American Bar Association taskforce on the law and artificial intelligence, said he had not heard of AI being used to develop bar exam questions or standards being put in place governing such uses.

 

AI Exec Order – K-12 and ALL Subject Matters

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/advancing-artificial-intelligence-education-for-american-youth/

President Trump issued an executive order focused on advancing Artificial Intelligence education for American youth. The order aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand and contribute to the field of AI. It emphasizes the importance of AI literacy and training for the future workforce. The initiative seeks to promote federal investment and coordination in AI education programs across the country. This executive action underscores the government’s focus on preparing the next generation for an increasingly AI-driven world.

iPhone Moment For Robotics

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/iphone-moment-nears-humanoid-robots

The article posits that humanoid robots are approaching a breakthrough moment analogous to the impact of the iPhone on mobile technology. It suggests that recent advancements in AI, machine learning, and physical engineering are making these robots more capable and potentially viable for widespread use. This could lead to them becoming increasingly integrated into various aspects of daily life and work. The “iPhone moment” implies a point where the technology becomes sufficiently practical, user-friendly, and versatile to see rapid adoption and disrupt existing paradigms. The piece speculates on the potential applications and future trajectory of humanoid robotics.

Brett Adcock, the founder of Figure AI, a company developing humanoid robots, uses the term “iPhone moment” to characterize what he sees happening in the robotics field.

Adcock views humanoid robots as the “ultimate ‘deployment vector’ for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)”. He believes that giving AGI a physical body through humanoids is crucial and allows the AI to learn and act through transfer learning and multitasking.

The “iPhone moment” signifies a point where these robots become affordable and suitable for widespread adoption in both the workplace and potentially the home. Adcock forecasts Figure AI’s robots could be priced around $20,000 to $30,000, possibly leased for about $300/month, which could allow for multiple robots per home doing chores.

While commercial applications in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare are seen as booming with massive demand, home deployment is considered harder but is accelerating.

Achieving this “iPhone moment” for humanoid robots requires solving difficult problems, including building ultra-reliable hardware, teaching robots using neural networks (rather than hand-coded controls), and enabling them to generalize actions to unfamiliar tasks via language instructions. Figure AI, for example, built its own AI model called Helix to enable generalization

 

Will AI Really Bring Expertise

Flawed Study Says Smart Phones Are Good For Children

https://www.afterbabel.com/p/flawed-absolution-for-smartphones

“A Flawed Absolution for Smartphones – by David Stein” is a critique of an opinion piece titled “Kids having smartphones is likely fine and may even be beneficial”. The authors of the opinion piece, Professor Justin D. Martin and graduate student Logan Rance from the USF Department of Journalism and Digital Communication, based their claims on findings from the new Life in Media survey. This survey included 1,510 Florida tweens aged 11 to 13.

Martin and Rance’s opinion piece specifically criticized the views of Jonathan Haidt, who recommends delaying smartphones until age 14 and social media until 16. Martin and Rance concluded that there is “nothing wrong with limiting smartphone use among kids”, but parents shouldn’t feel guilty about giving a smartphone to a child as young as 8 or 9, because it is “likely fine, perhaps even beneficial”. They based this on their finding that children who own their own smartphones fared “significantly better, or at least no worse,” than kids who do not own smartphones on “almost every health and wellness measure” they fielded in the survey.
The author of this critique, David Stein, argues that the claims in the opinion piece are “repeatedly undermined by findings in the survey report”. He identifies three fundamental flaws in Martin and Rance’s methodology:

1. Their argument ignores the actual usage of smartphones and similar devices, especially tablets. The survey found that smartphone use among kids aged 11 to 13 is nearly universal (over 90%), and a majority owns a tablet (56%) with a vast majority using a tablet (85%). The critique argues that comparing kids who own a smartphone with those who don’t own one but frequently use a smartphone or tablet (owned by someone else) is not a reliable method to evaluate the harms of smartphone use. Haidt’s concern is about smartphone usage, not mere ownership.

2. Their argument ignores the substantial influence of demographics such as parental income and education. The report reveals that smartphone ownership is less common among kids from higher-income families (30% of kids from higher-income families don’t own one vs. 16% from lower-income families). Simultaneously, kids from higher-income families and those with more educated parents were far more likely to agree that life feels meaningless (e.g., 31% in households making $150,000+ vs. 10% under $50,000). The critique suggests that because the “non-owners” group is disproportionately from higher-income families, these demographic factors could easily explain the poorer wellbeing outcomes observed in that group, potentially flipping the relationship between smartphones and wellbeing if properly adjusted.

3. Their argument ignores reverse causation as a partial explanation of the results. Martin and Rance note that kids without their own smartphones were much more likely to report being cyberbullied. The critique, aligning with the Life in Media report authors’ commentary, argues that the more plausible explanation is that parents of kids who have been bullied, or are vulnerable to it, delay giving them a smartphone to protect them from further exposure. This means that already poor wellbeing (being bullied) could lead to not owning a smartphone, rather than smartphone ownership protecting against bullying. The report authors explicitly label this theory as “reverse causation”. This reverse causation explanation may also apply to other wellbeing outcomes that Martin and Rance interpret as evidence that smartphones are safe.

Stein points out that the survey results actually show “no substantial differences” between smartphone owners and non-owners in the degree to which they report technology impairing their lives, such as difficulty stopping use, losing sleep, or neglecting tasks due to technology. The Life in Media report itself calls these results “alarming”, which Stein finds contradictory to Martin and Rance’s conclusion that smartphones are harmless.
The critique also notes that Martin and Rance suggest public posting on social media is the main culprit for ill-being, not smartphones. However, Stein highlights that Jonathan Haidt also warns against public posting on social media, and the Life in Media survey report includes a recommendation consistent with Haidt’s views on social media age limits

 

No More Dollar Store

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinese-sellers-us-market-begin-hiking-prices

Bloomberg reports that Shein raised the prices of all goods for the U.S. market, with markups much higher in some categories than others.

Data showed the average prices for the top 100 products in the beauty and health category jumped 51% at the end of last week. For home and kitchen products and toys, prices rose by 30%, led by a massive 377% increase for a 10-piece set of kitchen towels. Women’s clothing grew by 8%.

Keep in mind these are the same cheap Chinese goods that have flooded the U.S. market over the past decade, crippling American manufacturers.

 

Severed Conscience Activated: Will Be Violence OK Next?

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nyt-hack-goes-mask-defending-judge-protecting-illegal-alien-sometimes-civil-disobedience

New York Times opinion piece from David Brooks that defends a judge who refused to detain an illegal immigrant accused of domestic violence. It argues that the NYT columnist attempts to justify the judge’s actions by framing them as a form of “civil disobedience.” The author takes issue with this characterization, suggesting it normalizes or excuses judicial overreach and potential disregard for the law in favor of personal political beliefs. The piece implies a bias in mainstream media coverage regarding immigration and judicial matters. It suggests a concerning trend where established legal processes are undermined under the guise of activism or conscience.

“Especially on the issue of immigration, there are a lot of people who are appalled by what the administration is doing,” Brooks said on PBS’s NewsHour regarding President Trump’s fulfill his campaign promise of cracking down on illegal immigration. “And there will be times for civil disobedience. And to me, let’s say she did escort this guy out the door. If federal enforcement agencies come to your courtroom and you help a guy escape, that is two things. One, it strikes me as maybe something illegal, but it also strikes me something heroic.”

Owosso Barber’s Fines Never Vacated

https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/owosso-barber-still-battling-9k-in-fines-from-whitmer-lockdown

Karl Manke, an Owosso barber, is still facing significant fines imposed during the COVID-19 lockdowns under Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Despite court rulings that invalidated the executive orders used to fine him, the state is reportedly still pursuing the collection of approximately $9,000 in penalties. This ongoing legal battle highlights the lingering disputes over government authority and individual rights during the pandemic response. Manke famously reopened his shop in defiance of lockdown orders, becoming a symbol of resistance.

Details:

  • He is a 77-year-old Owosso barber.
  • He is still battling $9,000 in fines from the COVID-19 lockdown period.
  • He was one of six hairdressers the state fined for cutting hair in 2020 after Governor Whitmer declared barbers and hairdressers “nonessential”.
  • Manke defied the lockdown orders and was criminally charged for cutting hair at the Michigan Capitol on May 20, 2020. This was part of a protest called Operation Haircut.
  • During the lockdown, when he reopened his shop, state government entities temporarily suspended his barbershop and occupational license. Manke testified that he was never notified about this loss of license.
  • Despite racking up $9,000 in fines, Manke kept working to pay bills.  He believed that Whitmer’s executive orders violated his rights.
  • The Michigan Supreme Court ultimately agreed with him in October 2020.  When the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in September 2020 that Whitmer’s orders were unconstitutional, the criminal charges against Manke were dropped. However, the state refused to drop the fines.
  • His fines included $1,500 for having hair and neck strips on his barbershop floor and having a comb in his pocket during a televised media interview, which a state representative noted was unusual. He was also fined $6,000 for cutting hair without a license at the Michigan Capitol during Operation Haircut.
    Five years later, Manke is awaiting a ruling in the Shiawassee County Circuit Court to drop the fines.  Manke testified about his experience at a House Weaponization of State Government hearing on April 23, where other business owners targeted by the Whitmer administration and Attorney General Dana Nessel also spoke.
 

More MEDC Failure: RV Failed Despite 1 Million Funding

https://www.themidwesterner.news/2025/04/sturgis-rv-facility-closing-laying-off-121-after-gretchen-whitmer-gave-over-1m-from-taxpayers/

Sturgis RV facility closing, laying off 121 after Gretchen Whitmer gave over $1M from taxpayers

The Elkhart, Ind., company inked a deal with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in July 2021 to invest $35.9 million in its Sturgis facilities and create 450 jobs in exchange for over $1 million in taxpayer subsidies, Crain’s Grand Rapids Business reports.

“The Michigan Economic Development Corp. in July 2021 approved a $700,000 performance-based Michigan Business Development Program grant to support the investment,” according to the business publication. “The Michigan Department of Transportation also kicked in a $307,000 Transportation Economic Development Fund grant for the project.”

The 144,000-square-foot Heartland RV facility officially opened in Sturgis in November 2023 with 34 assembly line stations set up to produce up to 5,000 RVs per year. It’s unclear whether the company fulfilled its grant requirements to pocket the taxpayer cash.

 

 

Maybe Subsidies Are A Bad Thing – Changing Their Tune

https://www.bridgemi.com/business-watch/whitmer-subsidy-record-companies-get-1-billion-jobs-fall-short-promises

Michigan has provided over $1 billion in state subsidies to companies under Governor Whitmer’s administration. However, the article highlights that these companies have collectively fallen short of their job creation promises. This raises questions about the effectiveness and return on investment of large state incentive packages. Critics argue that the promised economic benefits, particularly job growth, have not fully materialized despite the significant public expenditure. The report analyzes the gap between the number of jobs pledged by companies receiving subsidies and the actual number created.

 

God Made Us Not Trim Trees

https://www.bridgemi.com/quality-life/power-company-god-caused-ice-storm-we-shouldnt-have-compensate-customers

A Michigan power company executive testified that tree trimming was not completed in certain areas because “God makes the trees grow.” This testimony occurred during a hearing about power outages following a significant ice storm. The executive’s comments suggested that the utility was not solely responsible for the widespread outages, implicitly blaming natural growth for contributing to downed lines. Critics argue this statement attempts to deflect responsibility from the company’s maintenance practices. The incident highlights the ongoing debate about utility accountability and infrastructure resilience during severe weather events.

Specifically, the sources state that two affected utilities aren’t regulated by the state and don’t plan to offer credits. These utilities are identified as Presque Isle Electric and Gas Co-op and Cloverland Electric Cooperative. A spokesperson for Presque Isle confirmed they have no plans to credit customers, although they will waive late fees. State law requiring compensation of $40 a day for outages lasting four days or more (if at least 10% of customers are without power) does not apply to these unregulated electric cooperatives.

This decision not to offer credits contrasts with Alpena Power Co., which is regulated by the state and is seeking a waiver from the requirement to credit customers, arguing the storm was beyond their control. It also contrasts with Consumers Energy, which plans to pay credits to its customers affected by the storm. The March ice storm caused thousands of residents to lose power for days or even weeks

Crisis Actor Or Doctor? Lena Wen Was Also Doc Who Commented at Boston Bombing

Wen Background

https://reason.com/2021/09/10/cnn-leana-wen-unvaccinated-travel-outdoor-ban/

To be clear, the range of activities that Wen believes the government should deny to the unvaccinated is incredibly broad. And while it’s true that there’s no right to use a specific means of travel, the U.S. Constitution absolutely enshrines the right to engage in interstate travel more generally. If the unvaccinated were not allowed to take public transportation, travel to other states, or go outdoors, then the government would not be giving them the “choice” to stay unvaccinated in any meaningful sense.

Oops – We Were MisLed

The first was a March 2020 paper in the journal Nature Medicine, which was written by five prominent scientists, and which declared that no “laboratory-based scenario” for the pandemic virus was plausible. But we later learned through congressional subpoenas of their Slack conversations that while the scientists publicly said the scenario was implausible, privately, many of its authors considered the scenario to be not just plausible but likely. One of the authors of that paper, the evolutionary biologist Kristian Andersen, wrote in the Slack messages, “The lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario.”

Keep Up With The Measle Joneses

https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-health-watch/oakland-county-confirms-first-michigan-measles-case-year

Oakland County has confirmed the first case of measles in Michigan this year, raising concerns about potential outbreaks and the importance of vaccinations.

An Oakland County resident has been infected with the first known case of measles this year in Michigan, and health officials are warning that other people may have been exposed at a Rochester restaurant and a local emergency room.

Test results Friday confirmed the case of measles in an adult who had recently traveled overseas, said Kate Guzmán, Oakland County health officer.

Guzmán would say little about the individual who was infected, citing confidentiality concerns. The person returned from traveling on Feb. 27, developed symptoms on March 3 and then the tell-tale rash last Saturday, March 8. Twice, the resident sought treatment at Henry Ford Rochester Hospital emergency room and was admitted Tuesday on the second visit. 

Texas Measles Fatality From Ventilator?

https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/shows/good-morning-chd/breaking-news-parents-of-child-in-texas-measles-outbreak-death/

That little girls measles were starting to go away, she said. The face had cleared up.

Right. There was only a few little spots. She had had normal measles.  And they took her into hospital.  And it says here, just to get her checked out. Now, I think many of us have heard that line before  and the other stories we did during Covid. But they really wanted to just go and get her checked out. Her temperature was spiking a bit.  Of trouble, but she says. The mother actually says it wasn’t anything bad, just something I. Was concerned about the doctor had given her. This is before they knew Ben Edwards. Remember, everybody,  the doctor had given her cough medicine and Tylenol.

And then when they got to the hospital. I’m just summarizing up what they said in this, and then Brian’s going to talk us to it. She had pneumonia in her left lung. Just a little, says the father.  And she was drinking a lot to start with. She wanted a drink, but once she was ventilated.  They were not allowed in to be with their six children. I can’t imagine leaving your six year old daughter on a ventilator in hospital.  Mother can imagine that.  The hospital, then rented them a hotel room, which I’ve never heard of in all the Covid stories that we’ve done. They sedated her, intubated her. The last thing she said she was thirsty. And that’s when the mother broke down, because the mom wanted to give her water, but they wouldn’t let her have water, which is to me really odd again. We heard this again. In the many stories we did on the road that these people are terribly thirsty and they’re not allowed to. This is the Covid pneumonia.

If that doesn’t happen, DeBoyer plans to follow up with a subpoena.

Musical Chairs Won’t Matter With Election Fraud

As constituents continue to wait on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to call a special election for the state Senate district vacated by U.S. Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet, the newly elected Democratic congresswoman is already plotting her next campaign.

 

Two unnamed Democratic sources told The Detroit News McDonald Rivet is currently exploring a campaign to replace U.S. Sen.

A Meager Mea Culpa

A.I. has passed the US Medical Exam.  What if that A.I. system was based on the same sad policies that nearly destroyed our society during COVID?

the mighty humanzee
By The Mighty Humanzee

Should medical professionals be assisted by A.I.?  Would that have helped during COVID?  A medical student issued a mea culpa on the behalf of the medical and scientific community in a Newsweek essay. One first brush you get the impression that the author Kevin Bass issues a mea culpa. Here is the start:

As a medical student and researcher, I staunchly supported the efforts of the public health authorities when it came to COVID-19.

I believed that the authorities responded to the largest public health crisis of our lives with compassion, diligence, and scientific expertise. I was with them when they called for lockdowns, vaccines, and boosters.

I was wrong. We in the scientific community were wrong. And it cost lives

Bass continues to name the culprits. We know them as the CDC, FDA, Fauci, The Science, the Lancet etc. He states that in each case they were wrong, that all the mandates, studies, obfuscation cost lives, and somehow the public health sector misled us about its own views. This was done as a result of policy being made by people who favored their own preferences. Bass concludes with:

But perhaps more important than any individual error was how inherently flawed the overall approach of the scientific community was, and continues to be. It was flawed in a way that undermined its efficacy and resulted in thousands if not millions of preventable deaths.

I’m not sure what that really means. If a policy is fatally flawed it has no efficacy. Destroyed would be the appropriate word. But maybe not. How is something so WRONG in each and every decision, when it contradicts facets of immunology and basic medicine, not to mention common sense, and not done on purpose?

Bass goes on to state:

We created policy based on our preferences, then justified it using data. And then we portrayed those opposing our efforts as misguided, ignorant, selfish, and evil.

Not quite. Others very rightly pointed out that the data sets were skewed, the collection process was abhorrent as it included populations with comorbidity that should have disqualified it from use. We had county health departments declare that one verified infection increased the number of probable infections by 10, then mixed all those confirmed and probable counts together as “cases”. We had deaths recorded as COVID with no death certificate, we had COVID listed as one of the conditions, yet named as the cause of death for people who died from cardiac arrest.

This is mildly accurate at best. We indeed had a lexicon, we had science on our side, we had decades of medicine on our side that had determined how respiratory viruses were propagated, and we had earlier experimental results from mRNA that demonstrated it was too unstable to use to combat respiratory viruses.

As a medical student Bass doesn’t recognize this? I question his training. I question his ability to think. I suspect he may be a part of the problem if he didn’t see these glaring things right away. That’s the type of doctor I would want to have.

We have a problem in our society, it’s an overwhelming love for credentialism. By that I mean we tend to believe “experts” with titles who can recite what they have been taught and we take it as fact. We were once told that all science begins with observation, but now how many times are we told “correlation does not mean causation”. Sure, but that becomes a dismissal when your instincts are ignored, or worse, contrary facts are dismissed by those who utter that overused phrase. Our experts are unaccustomed to being questioned. “Every educated person knows …” is the pejorative that is supposed to put you in your place.

We also live under the myth that possessing a credential means that someone has come from the Imminently Qualified factory without questioning their true IQ. Spend more time in the IQ Factory and you must be smarta. We’re told that advanced degrees guarantee that.  At least the health officials tell us that. They did when I worked with them during the Covid Crisis.

Let’s look at this from a different angle. What does Artificial Intelligence say about the capabilities of the scientific community, does it diminish their worth?  There are two headlines that should ponder.  The first is Would Chat GPT Get a Wharton MBA? New White Paper By Christian Terwiesch

 
In this experiment Professor Terwiesch fed MBA final exam questions to an A.I. application named Chat GPT.  Orange and I have played with this platform, you can see those results here.  Suffice to say Chat GPT passed.  Here is is Professor Terwiesch conclusion:
 
Finally, ChatGPT3 is remarkably good at modifying its answers in response to human hints. In other words, in the instances where it initially failed to match the problem with the right solution method, Chat GPT was able to correct itself after receiving an appropriate hint from a human expert. Considering this performance, Chat GPT would have received a B to B- grade on the exam.
 
In some case the A.I. application failed and gave glaringly incorrect answers, but with great articulation.  It makes you wonder the value of an MBA and why we are so quick to accept pedigree over ability.  As a society we are addicted to experts and credentials, flowery language and other empty forms of communication posing as thought.  You should note that Professor Terwiesch, while admiring of the A.I capability, feels that it is better suited as a training tool.  But that too has its hazards.  The complete results and conclusion to this experiment are documented here.

The second headline, featured in the Tweet to the right,  is the that A.I. Chat GPT Platform has passed the US Medical Licensing Exam.  Yes, a computer application has performed at an acceptable level that merits a license to practice medicine. So does that say more about the A.I. platform or does it say more about the medical profession? My writing here is not to insult those in the medical profession, there are fine physicians out there who fought the COVID policy nonsense and lost their jobs over it.  But I am holding up a rather large mirror to those who cling to the claim that their training guarantees inerrant skill that prepares them to help others heal. Does it? Has Bass received different training than the A.I. application that would have helped protect patients?  Clearly he was on board with the protocols issued by the CDC as he didn’t question them in the beginning as he should have. Potentially he was fooled into thinking that the CDC was inerrant but what about the common voices of reason from other sectors of society who recited the very knowledge that Bass should have applied immediately?

Now considered the A.I. knowledge base. What if the A.I. drew it’s conclusions from the faulty data gathered during COVID? Clearly if the application can pass the medical licensing exam it can perform in a fashion to earn it passing grade, you couldn’t conclude that it would deliver a different set of recommendations.

Humans can be lazy, frail beings, subject to passions that derail rational thought. The intellectual elite are no different, and in fact their hubris fuels this condition that blinds them. That’s being kind, because the absolute failure of the public health sector during COVID so miserably begs the question whether this was intentional. That’s another topic for another day.  But the Professor Terwiesch who ran the MBA experiment very rightly pointed out:

The skill of looking at a suggested alternative that is well presented and looks totally plausible and then being able to critically evaluate if the suggested alternative is fundamentally flawed or absolutely brilliant is thus among the most important skills in a management career. With Chat GPT3 playing the role of that smart consultant (who always has an elegant answer, but oftentimes is wrong) we thus have a perfect training ground for developing that skill. Just think back to Answer 3 (the Cranberry process). It was well presented and the numbers looked coherent and plausible – but, it was wrong nevertheless.

With COVID that. Just. Didn’t. Happen. Period.

People died, needlessly.  All because medical professionals just recited “the protocols tell us we should not treat, we should vaccinate” like some magical spell uttered by Gandalf in Lord of The Rings. How is that different from relying on A.I. to just spit out answers for us? If the answers are from the same poor knowledge base that are somehow deemed correct, yet the disastrous results are ignored, what are we achieving?  Perhaps a further shuttering of the mind.

A Boy Named Adam https://studiohumanzee.com/2022/11/06/a-boy-named-adam/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-boy-named-adam https://studiohumanzee.com/2022/11/06/a-boy-named-adam/?noamp=mobile#respond Sun, 06 Nov 2022 21:36:56 +0000 https://studiohumanzee.com/?p=5751
mRNA Vaccine Can Be A Silent Yet Sudden Killer

A physician submits this tragic story of the death of 17 year old young man who he had identified as vaccine injured.  This doctor wishes to remain anonymous to protect his license.

the mighty humanzee
By The Mighty Humanzee

There have been many changes in my professional life since I opened my general medicine practice.  Since my specialty is trauma surgery, this is a throwback to my residency days.  Every physician is certified in general medicine. We decided which speciality to pursue during our residency.

I have not taken the “vaccine” for SARS-Cov2.  I will not take the “vaccine” nor will I suggest or counsel a patient to take the “vaccine”.

I followed several physicians, who have investigated harmful side effects due to taking the “vaccine”.  I have had access to DOD DMED and CDC/FDA VAERS and have studied the results that have been entered into the database. 

I also have had access to medicines and information regarding the proficiency of medicines that could have saved many of our people. 

I say all this because I have an extremely sad story to share.  This is from my perspective as a physician.  And as a father I have changed names and can not give you many details due to HIPAA laws. 

Back in July 2022, my partners and I volunteered to hold discounted school physicals for a few surrounding counties.  These counties are not as populated as most and school physicals can be expensive for some families.  In total, we performed over a hundred physicals for local high school students.

To our dismay, most of these young people had taken the “vax” the prior year so they could play high school sports.  Knowing this fact, we had to be comprehensive in our process to not only cover the child but also cover ourselves. 

The state and county have their own forms and list of items they require you as a physician to check for and advise upon.  We decided to bring our lab equipment to perform basic blood testing.  According to the DMED and VAERS databases, we had a list of “issues” we were looking for, due to the fact these kids had possibly taken the “vax”.

Having worked with Navy SEALs, I am well aware of physically fit individuals and have sat a few down from active combat service based on their current health situations. My partners asked my opinions on their patients and concerns.  Believe me, as a father, the last thing I wanted to do was tell a child they could not fulfill their heart’s desire. As a physician, it is my duty to protect these young men and women.

After going through the checklist questions and exams, I had the difficult task of denying 5 young men their chance to complete this year in high school sports.  Three of these young men I personally treated.

While sitting down with the young men and their parents, my concerns were greeted with mixed emotions.  Parents are furious about having their child submit to the “vax” for their students.  This practice was made known this past week but American First Legal.  This is a link to their story.

https://aflegal.org/breaking-afl-uncovers-documents-revealing-that-biden-admins-guidance-on-masking-children-in-school-was-driven-by-the-kaiser-foundations-political-polling/

Back to the story.

One of the five young men I denied the right to play high school sports, “Adam”, died this past weekend.  I had performed his physical and sat with him and his parents as I explained the results. 

Adam’s father came to the clinic Monday morning to get a paper copy of the physical I performed in July.  The office called me to let me know the dad was on his way over.  I was not in the office that day but went to meet Adam’s dad.

I arrived just as Adam’s dad walked into the office.  As I entered, Adam’s dad stood there, rock still. I went to him and surrounded him in a bear hug.  As I felt him starting to break down, I ushered him into the back and into our private office. 

After a few minutes, he began to tell me the events of the weekend.

A few of his son’s friends were at his house, like every other normal Saturday.  The boys were playing basketball on the driveway.  After 30 minutes or so, screaming began.  He rushed outside to see his son laying on the ground. 

One of the friends started telling the dad about the event that took place just before he dropped.  Apparently Adam was acting confused.  He stopped playing and started to sway. Then he said to his friends, “I don’t feel good”.  Then he fell to the ground.

The Dad immediately started CPR as his son was not breathing.  Shouting for someone to call 911, he continued until the EMS unit arrived.

After the EMS crew began to work with Adam, Dad still had hope Adam would be ok.   A few minutes passed when one of the EMTs turned to the dad.  “Sir, your son is gone.  Was he breathing when you started compressions?”  Dad stared at the man before he answered.  He told the EMTs what he saw when he came outside.  The friends also gave their accounts of their friend.

The other EMT asked if Adam had any recent health issues. Dad told them Adam had had a sports physical in July and was denied playing school sports. He recited the issues we noted in his physical, which I can not convey to you by HIPPA law. 

One EMT said his condition was similar to someone who may have had a cardiac event. Then he asked if Adam had taken the COVID vaccine. Dad knew at that point. His son did have a heart issue probably due to the vaccine. 

Dad said he was frozen, watching his son laying, lifeless, on the ground and no one in attendance could save him. 

According to Dad, Adam was not a sick child, young man. He seemed to be perfectly healthy to his parents. What they did not know, there was a deadly issue under his skin. 

After a few moments, I ask the Dad, “What can I do to help you?” He replied, “Not sure but we have to stop this.” I couldn’t agree more. 

We made a copy of the physical paperwork. I went over the topics we discussed that day and the reasons I noted that kept me from approving his son for sports. He asked questions and I answered the best I could. 

Can I prove the COVID vaccine caused this to happen to Adam? No, I can not. But I can give his Dad all the available information I have and pass along to an investigator and his attorney? Yes, this I can do. 

As I walked him outside, I gave him a card with my cell number. I felt helpless as he climbed into his truck and left. 

Since that day, we have spoken several times. I have given him information presented on the StudioHumanzee.com website. This is a comprehensive collection of COVID information you may not see or hear on network TV. Including the link I noted above. 

This story is real. Adam is gone. A life cut too short. His family is grieving. We have lost a talented young man. And this same situation is happening all over our nation, our world. 

This is criminal. This act against our people is criminal. The Pharmaceutical industry must be held accountable. Our government agencies involved in the pandemic rollout must be held accountable. Every governor, every state, every corporation and government agency that mandated the “vax” for you to work, go to school must be held accountable. And finally, the gain of function research that empowered the virus and spread must be held accountable.

SARES-CoV2 is a cold at best, a flu at its worst. We have medicines, cheap and available, that could have saved millions of lives. We have natural immunities that would have kept us safe and out of the hospitals. 

This was by design and we must NEVER forget that fact.
