As for scarce eggs in the U.S. and maybe other parts of the world, there is this: The highly lethal form of avian influenza circulating the globe since 2021 has killed tens of millions of birds, forced poultry farmers in the United States to slaughter entire flocks and prompted a brief but alarming spike in the price of eggs....personally I think the avian flu is as bogus as Sars coV2. The only way to "diagnose" is with a PCR type test.
I agree it's a scam (as is Sars coV2...a novel pathogen did not exist nor was it needed to create a pandemic once the digital panopticon was in place), but I can't agree that Avian flu is simply meant to cover for factory farm conditions that lead to deaths and illness. Like all manufactured crises, spreading virus propaganda kill many birds with the narrative (ha ha). The Bailey's I think are not popular with those on this discussion, but I have found Mark Bailey's analysis of every study claiming to have found and proven a virus as cause of contagion and disease extremely thorough and helpful to my understanding of the accepted worldview of disease and how it is wrong. (A Farewell to Virology) And his work has never been refuted in debate. I found your piece on PCR very good.
I was just thinking out loud because they used polio to cover up for ddt/ pesticides and then invented transverse myelitis to cover for side effects of the shots and polio still happening.
Well, I think that using the avian flu virus narrative to cover for the factory farms causing illness may indeed be ONE of the birds killed by the viral narrative that is ubiquitous since they pulled off the COVID scam. This is evident in the funding being provided for mRNA vaccine manufacture for any and every virus said to have been found. The latest from Sam Bailey is around Epstein Barr, of which mononucleosis is supposed to be one illness the virus causes...but never fear because scientists are close to producing an mRNA savior that they will attempt to add to the already heavy and dangerous infant vaccination load.
I’m glad you brought up “Ripley”. My wife and I watch a lot of Netflix stuff and most of it is basically temporarily enjoyable rubbish. But Ripley was like the intrusion of another world. It seemed so slow moving that it was initially irritating to the “Netflix trained” mind but once the atmosphere was accepted it was hypnotic.
I was interested to find out there was an earlier version of the story – a film with Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow. That too is on Netflix and I watched the little 20 second trailer that comes as a “taster”. I was repulsed by the appearance. The clip was from the initial meeting between Ripley and Greenleaf on the beach. In the recent version – in austere black and white – there are only three people on the beach: Ripley, Greenleaf and Marge. Andrew Scott as Ripley looks totally uncomfortable in his swimming briefs whilst Johnny Flynn as Greenleaf is affable but wan. In the Damon version it is of course in full colour and the beach is packed with the customary beautiful Hollywood assembly line models. It may as well be “Baywatch”. Damon as Ripley strides up with his muscular chest and brimming with complacent confidence. Law appears arrogant and grouchy. Paltrow does her usual simper. And I just thought “Naah!”
That the new version is unpopular doesn’t surprise me at all. I even heard asinine comments about how the black and white photography “hurts your eyes” and the blasé assumption it was only in B&W to “save money”. Yes really.
The present day Netflix crowd are happier with the ready-mix effusions of Harlan Coben who strikes me as an even more formulaic Stephen King – glossy, assembly line characters, full of sensationalist incoherent twists, with the big concluding terminating “shock” that makes a nonsense of much of what came before. It’s the kind of stuff that seems to display no respect at all for the viewer. And this is what today’s viewers seem to want. All of which reminds me of Adorno’s comments on jazz:
“The subject which expresses itself expresses precisely this: I am nothing, I am filth, no matter what they do to me it serves me right”
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE SERIES ALL THE WAY THROUGH STOP...DO NOT READ FURTHER...SPOILERS!!!!. I tried to watch the movie with Matt Damon and could not, unlike the Netflix version with Andrew Scott, which I binge watched all the way through. I read a review of the Damon film that said viewers rooted for him as Ripley, who was, they said, endearing and likeable, clearly motivated by homosexual jealousy. Bad acting and bad script as much as I watched. But in the Netflix version, Ripley IS a psychopath, no doubt, a man who survives on society's fringe from con to con on only his sharp wit and instincts. He tries to drive Marge and Greenleaf apart and anyone else who comes between him and his prey. I did not like Ripley, but could not take my eyes off him. How he modulates his voice and uses his features with cold eyes that most people would not notice since most people are not LOOKING to be conned or they do not look that deep. I kept watching, hoping Ripley slipped up enough or his luck turned and he got caught before he killed again. Scott does a frightening job of portraying Ripley as the brilliant scamster and opportunist, quick on his feet, showing no remorse or even second thoughts except for his own survival. Greenleaf however, is so entitled and has been so protected by his class that he is easily duped and at times it's almost as if he encourages it, as with the taxi cab scam. He showed no fear for his own life, to his detriment, even after being warned and catching Ripley stealing from him and then imitating him dressed in his clothes....and throws all caution to the wind and goes out on a boat with Ripley to deliver the news that he is no longer welcome. I am hoping for another season since there are several books already written to draw from...hoping Netflix will pony up for Ripley's next adventure now that he has some money in his pocket and a new identity. Best TV in years. I hope Netflix gets this message and not that most people hated it.
The new version of Ripley seems like a masterpiece to me. It was the opposite of typical Netflix stuff. And your comment reminded me of another reason why I liked it so much: there were no sex scenes. Not a single one. Indeed it was impossible to imagine Andrew Scott's Ripley as a sexual being.
I agree. I did not read the books so do not know if the book character Ripley displays the homosexual desires and jealousies evident in the Damon version, but my curiosity has been piqued. Obviously, the character works much better and is way more believable as an asexual psychopath motivated purely by survival and opportunism, given the circumstances he finds himself in with Greenleaf, the mark that falls into his lap at the perfect moment of his life.
I just wanted to say thank you again for having me on. It’s been a lot of fun for me to talk with all of you!
Can you please upload next time also to rumble or odysee?

Bird flu is another scam... In some cases it's used to cover up for horrible factory farm conditions.

It's the snake oil scam 😂 🐍
