Today has been too dark, we need something light.

Thanks to brother Jim K.

Earlier I posted this official numbers of Ecuador.

I posted some of the pics and video in Facebook and people were confused because the official numbers simply did not match the imagery coming in.  I realized that they were believing the official numbers because we are used to the statistics in the USA being as close and as truthful as possible. Yes we have people and entities that will fudge stats for their advantage, but most Americans are not used to the wholesale amount of bullshit that other countries load in their statistics.  They are simply the political wishful thinking /PR Handjob of whomever is in charge.

But the truth unfortunately for them, seeps out. Local paper in Ecuador:

And I saw tweets from local government officials acknowledging the hundreds of corpses picked up and that they are about to build a cemetery with a capacity of 12,000 to bury the virus’ victims.

Today’s lesson, specially in this time of pandemic is simple

DO NOT TRUST NON-USA STATISTICS

That will be all. You may return to your duties

Statement of Commissioner Gail Heriot in Examining the Race Effects of Stand Your Ground Laws and Related Issues, a report of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

This report should not have been published in this form. When the results of an empirical study don’t come out the way Commission members hoped and expected that they would, the right thing to do is usually to publish those results anyway. Why hide useful information?

Instead, the Commission sat on the report for years. Then it decided to discard the draft written by our staff and publish instead a transcript of the witness testimony received at our briefing that took place on October 17, 2014 in Orlando, Florida (along with Commissioner Statements like this one).  In that way, the staff’s empirical findings could be buried forever.
No one would claim that the results of the staff’s empirical study conclusively resolve all the controversy over “Stand Your Ground” laws or even over Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law in particular. But they are useful for what they don’t show. The most passionate opponents of “Stand Your Ground” laws appear to have believed that the empirical evidence would show clearly that African Americans are harmed by these laws. But it turns out things are not so clear; the evidence of discrimination against African Americans or even real disparate impact is absent. Yes, it is true that a disproportionate number of those killed in Florida in cases in which, correctly or incorrectly, the “Stand Your Ground” law has been invoked were African American. But it is also true that a similarly disproportionate number of those for whom that law has been invoked were African American.
African Americans are disproportionately on both sides of the issue.

If you guys don’t mind, I am taking a victory lap on this one. Lord knows I’ve been banging that drum a long time.

There is a movie I won’t be able to see again with the same lightened heart.

PS: Anybody playing politics with the virus response in our Country just to try and win in November should be dragged kicking and screaming and dropped in the middle of fucking Guayaquil.

The government of Ecuador is Socialist and led by President Lenín Moreno. It is in the Left’s DNA to lie as not to show the world the absolute failure od Socialism and Communism and Mr. Lenín Moreno abides to that principle.

This is the official record of the Covid 19 Virus effects on Ecuador as of today:

Now, I hope you were able to stomach the posts I made last night (Guayaquil, Ecuador #1 and Guayaquil, Ecuador #2) and you can clearly see that 191 deaths are obvious;y an under-count by just watching the videos coming out of just the city of Guayaquil.  However, the truth is coming out of their own mouths after  having to go and fix the dystopian reality on the city:

Wated says they’ve already collected all the bodies in Guayaquil: more than 1,300 in a week
The Government of Ecuador said on Monday to have collected all the bodies that were in homes in Guayaquil and that this task is delayed today within 12 hours of the notification of the relatives to the authorities.

“There are no longer cases behind,” said Efe Jorge Wated, head of the Joint Task Force (FTC) for the crisis in Guayaquil, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Ecuador, which has been in the last week the scene of a severe accumulation of corpses.

Wated stated that since the start of the situation, on Monday last week, the Army special force “has collected some 500 bodies from the homes” and “handed over some 480 death certificates that has allowed private funeral homes to move and bury faster.” (Translated by browser)

Colapso sanitario en Guayaquil: retiran unos 500 cuerpos de las viviendas

There is an old Spanish saying: “No se puede tapar el sol con un dedo” – “You can’t blot out the sun with a finger” which means the truth, no matter how you try to cover it, will eventually out. In the case of Ecuador, truth is spilling all over the place and straight to the mass graves.

This person is an actual US Representative for the State of Ohio.  She is also a graduate of the University of Akron school of law and a member of the Ohio Bar.

I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been to The Hague. I’m making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow. Today’s press conference was the last straw. I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one. https://t.co/XQin24gqY4

in the US, it is legal to use a pen FDA approves drug off label.

I use one everyday.  One of the drugs I use is only approved for use in women for IBS, but my doctor thought it might work for me and had me try it.   It seems to work for me and so my doctor continues to give me the prescription.

Doctors do this all the time.  There are countless way that doctors have used Botox off label.  In the world of auto immune conditions, doctors use drugs lol label all the time.  A drug approved for rhumatoid arthritis might be given to a patient with Cronin’s or vice versa.

The President suggesting that a drug with a 50 year track record of success in treating one disease might be effective in treating another isn’t crminal.

An impeachment inquiry into this wouldn’t survive until lunch on the first day.

So what to do?  Appeal to The Hauge and call it a crime against humanity.

This isn’t one, of course.  Also, The Hauge has exactly dick jurisdiction over the US.  But TDS is TDS and this Congresswoman has it bad, and the brain damaged that it has given her has caused her to think this is a brilliant idea.

I know her constituents will love this, but I’d really love the Ohio Bar to crack down on her for saying something so legally spurious.  Then won’t, but they should.

I think if someone ventilated this piece of shit in the aisle of the Wal-Mart with a 9mm for doing that, I’d have to call it a good shoot given the circumstances.
