You probably worship Amen and don't know it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Priest_of_Amun

Interesting to read about but I'm not sure it's related to "amen" in prayers:

The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: "Behold, I am bringing punishment upon Amun of Thebes, and Pharaoh and Egypt and her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him."
— Jeremiah 46:25 (KJV)

From wiki:

The word amen first occurs in the Hebrew Bible in Numbers 5:22 when the Priest addresses a suspected adulteress and she responds “Amen, Amen”. Overall, the word appears in the Hebrew Bible 30 times.

So they seem to actively discourage mentioning Amun in Abrhamic religions. But it's possible the exclamation "it is so" or "let it be" which is what Amen comes from, is from Amun. But I'm not sure it's directly connected with the intent of worshiping Amun. But it could be. Interesting idea, at the very least.

It basically explicitly says every country blamed it on spain simply because they were reporting it. If that's not propaganda than what is?

magnora7 · 2020-03-28T06:19:40+00:00

I literally just gave you a cite... Many countries blamed spain, it says so right in the wiki article

magnora7 · 2020-03-28T05:38:31+00:00

It's logic.

No one wants to be known as the country of origin for a pandemic virus
They called it the spanish flu because spain was the only one with a media reporting about it openly

So it's quite clear many countries were censoring in their media about this...

To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.[6][failed verification] Papers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit.[7] This gave rise to the pandemic's nickname, "Spanish flu".[8][9] Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin, with varying views as to the origin.[1]

Yes, let's just call it the Kansas flu. I'm sure the US gov't wouldn't mind that at all!

You act like PR and image management doesn't exist.

By the US to place the blame on spain even though it originated in the US

magnora7 · 2020-03-26T23:07:17+00:00

Honestly though, calling it the Spanish Flu was pure propaganda, because it originated in Kansas in the US.

The only reason it's called the Spanish Flu is because the Spanish media was the only one not censoring reporting about it, so all the news about it was coming from Spain. That's how it became known as the Spanish Flu.

magnora7 · 2020-03-26T07:31:32+00:00

Yup that was the one I watched. I didn't really "get" it when I watched it so many years ago in theaters, and I was hoping the extended edition would help sort things out, and it did.

Funny I just watched this yesterday for the first time since it was in theaters...

That's interesting back story.

My theory was that he was so ashamed of Faramir and all he cared about was his line ending, that his personal survival didn't even matter. In his mind it was a matter of control and creating an ending of the lineage to be proud of at least, and he didn't even care that Faramir had re-awoken, he wanted him dead.

I guess I'm not the only one who felt the need to re-watch lord of the rings lately!

magnora7 · 2020-03-24T00:17:25+00:00

They only blocked it because they want more, is what I understand. Trump was proposing a trillion and democrats want 2.5 trillion

magnora7 · 2020-03-24T00:07:40+00:00

There aren't enough tests to properly figure out the actual death rate, so everything has been almost total guesses so far.

magnora7 · 2020-03-24T00:02:48+00:00

Nice list. I found a lot of these surprising. I wonder if they were small brands that just got bought up once they reached a certain size.

Hydroxychloroquine is good for it and so is chloroquine, according to early studies.

However chloroquine has more side effects, and there was actually a news story of someone dying from chloroquine overdose today. So I'd stick to the Hydroxychloroquine if possible

Yikes, Canada siding with authoritarians instead of free countries. Can't really say I'm surprised though, as Canada is still owned by England technically. They love that aristocratic hierarchy nonsense, plus they probably import more from China than Taiwan.

magnora7 · 2020-03-20T20:29:49+00:00

but if you think the police do 'more harm than good' , try removing them and see what you get.

Or maybe we can actually do what I'm proposing and have better quality police, instead of this strawman

magnora7 · 2020-03-20T20:28:31+00:00

Under-testing is a much bigger problem than the false positives from this first test, so it's likely they're still deflated compared to the actual numbers. Not to mention countries like Japan trying to cover it up so they can have the Olympics, etc

I bet people who worked for Hitler said the same about the people they murdered. "All for the greater good"

Or maybe, the laws are overreaching and the cops are actually doing more damage than good? Especially since they're rarely held accountable for misconduct?

Social liberalism is a little too close to Neo-liberalism (limousine liberalism) for my taste. I almost considered not posting my results because I didn't like the label it gave me so much lol

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T04:44:26+00:00

There's a bit of a debate going on it seems, China is now saying Nov 17 is the actual date, and the international community seems to be saying "no it was dec 31". That's my read on the situation

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T04:43:31+00:00

I get the wordplay, it just makes it hard for other people to find more info on their own, which is super important imo. Just wanted to be clear for others to have the most searchable info possible

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T00:47:27+00:00

There's definitely plenty of opportunities for government over-reach over the next few months, and people should be vigilant. But also the pandemic is real and needs to be taken seriously.

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T00:45:48+00:00

It's just called Event 201, not 2 "World" 1. No one can find it in google with those terms

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T00:40:58+00:00

It was a global simulation. Same event, same day, global simulation across multiple international cities. I mean it's possible the timing is pure coincidence, but it seems unlikely. The Military Games would be a good cover for a foreign military to sneak in to china and release the virus right next to China's only level 4 biolab.

magnora7 · 2020-03-19T00:39:13+00:00

No because we don't know the outcome of 90% of the effective, you have to know the outcome to make the percentage. You can't include most cases which haven't completed yet

But even for the demographics that are similar, like white people, the rates are nowhere close the same.

I am 100% good.

Hahahahaha nice one.

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T21:09:39+00:00

I am saying why does our country have 100x the per-captia rate of police killing citizens, as compared to every other developed nations, even the ones with guns? Clearly there is a huge problem in US police forces with accountability, justice, and training. I think it's extremely important to address this. Don't you?

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T21:08:42+00:00

I am not saying this is 100% true, just saying that this seems pretty unlikely to be just pure coincidence and perhaps this would be a wise thing for everyone to investigate more... because if this is true, and it can be confirmed beyond a doubt, it would be Earth-shattering.

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T20:04:53+00:00

No I used it to emphasize the unjust nature of their crimes, and how broken the justice system is.

I see you're still more focused on my wording than the actual problem. Good day.

It's all shades of gray, and it always oscillates throughout history. It's not a binary "have it" or "don't have it" thing, it's a whole spectrum that is constantly in motion.

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T18:21:32+00:00

Deaths: 8,727

Recovered: 83,207

Death rate: 10.4%

Flu Death rate: 0.1%

So actually it's 100x worse than the flu. So it's even worse than my guess, and your math is incredibly incorrect. Thanks for the source so we could verify that.

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T18:19:18+00:00

Ah okay, so I take that word back because it's a little too harsh for the legal reality of today's rigged system. Now can we focus on the actual problem instead of the minute wording differences? Or were you not really that interested in the problem in the first place?

I see your points, but history shows man can only take so much abuse before he lashes out. History is a very long pattern of man being increasingly oppressed, then a mass uprising occurs and that previous system of oppression is dismantled or modified.

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T16:54:34+00:00

The death rate is 10x normal flu, and there's lots of evidence this was a man-made bioweapon, so it's a bit different

magnora7 · 2020-03-18T16:53:54+00:00

The definition is "An unlawful killing".

It would be unlawful, if the laws were properly applied instead of police getting a free pass for whatever behavior they deem reasonable

I was hearing repeatedly it'd be a year to a year and a half, at the minimum, to get the vaccine. The thing was only recognized as existing 3 months ago and they're already testing out vaccines? I am a little skeptical... hmm

Yes as opposed to the employees doing that manually which is regular policy. So they've added more automated removals to compensate for the employee absences, but it's creating errors because the employees are more accurate.

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T23:25:11+00:00

I wouldn't say "useless" as you can look up the original version of it and when that was first put online. But yeah it doesn't help, I agree

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T21:24:24+00:00

I view them as murders because they're overwhelmingly unnecessary. The statistics from other countries prove this.

I guess the numbers have fallen a bit since I closely tracked this issue back in 2012 or so. They were about 1300 per year, but now it's about 1000 per year which is good. Anyway, here is a full list of all the people killed by police in 2019, with news articles about each incident linked on the side. Pick some articles at random and decide for yourself: https://killedbypolice.net/kbp2019/

But the fact most countries don't have this massive police killing problem shows that the US is clearly doing it wrong. We shouldn't have per-capita rates of police killing people that is more similar to Brazil than Europe! Police need retraining and more scrutiny and justice for misconduct. Right now it's a bit of a free-for-all, and the numbers reflect that.

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T21:20:27+00:00

Sanders also supports Palestine so I'm not sure how much of a full-on Zionist he is, unlike Biden who will support Israel's every wish

Do you own any musical instruments?

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T21:10:57+00:00

Yes I think it's true to some extent, but also 50% of people killed by police in the US are white.

The police are generally violent in the US. US has 1300 murders of citizens by police per year, France has about 2 and Germany has about 1.

The police violence problem is a nation-wide problem that affects everyone. Black people are killed at a higher rate, but our overall national level is also way out of whack with global norms. Even if police stopped all killings of black people forever, there would still be about 900 still killed by police every year in the US. So it goes far beyond a race issue. It affects all races. All Americans.

And I actually think over-focusing on race in regards to this police violence issue is a divide-and-conquer tactic to keep whites and blacks from unifying to solve a common problem that our whole country faces. Everyone getting together and realizing we're on the same team and suffering the same things at a national level, is exactly what they don't want

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T20:40:28+00:00

I think this is what changed: https://saidit.net/s/technology/comments/3eip/social_media_giants_warn_of_ai_moderation_errors/

magnora7 · 2020-03-17T20:36:10+00:00

Could be. I think we could also see a huge whiplash of public unrest that actually fixes some of these problems, since a lot of people just lost their jobs and their sports entertainment has been shut down... bread and circus are both gone for some, that's an equation for unrest and mainstream collapse, which in the west usually means a change in government to a new style of government that more suitably benefits the people. There's been a few cycles of this in history. Despite how domesticated people are, people can still only take so much. Even the most well-trained dog will lash out if you box him in aggressively enough.

There's a self-balancing mechanism at play here, and times like this provoke over-reach for the exact reason your comic points out. The over-reach leads to wide unrest. Wide unrest leads to revolutions and government changes. Sometimes for the worse, but sometimes for the better.

So there's reason to be optimistic as well as pessimistic, I think.
