Noam Chomsky on Education

Noam Chomsky

Most of the people who make it through the education system and get into the elite universities are able to do it because they’ve been willing to obey a lot of stupid orders for years and years – that’s the way I did it, for example… Some people go along with it because they figure, “Okay, I’ll do any stupid thing that asshole says because I want to get ahead”; others do it because they’ve just internalized the values – but after a while, those two things tend to get sort of blurred. But you do it, or else you’re out: you ask too many questions and you’re going to get in trouble. ~Noam Chomsky

The Art Of Being Happy

The Art Of Being Happy

I read a better definition of happiness along the lines of overcoming obstacles between you and your goal.

But it is true that you are the source of the beauty you see, the happiness you feel and the world you cocreate. We need to get busy doing better in order to out-create those creating disorder.

Here’s one way you can do just that: https://www.bringorder.info/English.html

New CDC Covid Guidelines

New CDC Covid Guidelines

If these guidelines were recommended from the start of the pandemic there would have been no lockdowns, no social distancing, no masks, no mandatory vaccination requirements. Suicides and business closures would not have skyrocketed, the social development and learning of children would not have been markedly delayed, bailouts would not have been required so governments would have been plunged deeper into debt.

No responsibility, no accountability and in many cases, the perpetrators are still in the same job as before.

This is just wrong!

NZ Medsafe is unable to define safe…

One of the NZDSOS team decided to ask Medsafe a fairly simple question. It’s quite brilliant in its simplicity. “What is the working definition of ‘safe’”? There was concern that Medsafe might have a different definition than that of the general public.

This request was sent on 30 July 2021 and when no reply was received, it was followed up with a further request for a definition on 17 Oct 2021. At this stage, 94 deaths following vaccination had been reported to Medsafe and were on their Safety Reports, many still under investigation or in limbo due to ‘insufficient information’, (there are now 171 deaths and 3,452 serious adverse events reported).

No reply ensued so the matter was referred to the Ombudsman as is often suggested if dissatisfied with OIA (Official Information Act) results.

In March 2022 a letter was received from the Ombudsman saying an investigator would be allocated when one became available. A further letter was written in July 2022 to the Ombudsman to ask whether it is likely the investigator will be allocated before the end of the year.

It is now nearly one year since a simple question “What is the definition of ‘safe’?” was asked of Medsafe and they have been unable to respond.

If Medsafe cannot define what ‘safe’ is, how can they determine when an intervention is not safe?
