Do Your Own Research
Pilgrim, what do you know about Ray Epps and his participation in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots? Well, the Jan 6 committee has just released the transcript of his testimony to their group. See below.
But before you read this testimony, you need to view the video tapes of Epps on January 5 and 6, 2021. Above is the best I could discover of this live evidence. I failed in my attempt to find this footage without commentary. So, Pilgrim, ignore Tucker Carlsons editorializing and just watch Ray Epps in action.
Next, read the transcript of his interview here: Ray Epps Jan 6 interview. Note the word “interview” and not “testimony” suggesting it was not under oath.
Now, you are a original researcher and can come to your own conclusion about Epps’ role … and why he has not been arrested and charged like hundreds of others seen in these video clips.
Afterward: Here is Epps whispering into another’s ear right before this one broke down the barrier. I still can’t find the video although I’ve seen it.
STAND UP FOR THE RAW FACTS!
Black Teeth
During my visit to the dentist the other day, he related the following:
Years ago in Japan, when the son of wealthy parents got married, they would paint the bride’s teeth with a silver solution. This bound with nascent decay and stopped it … making the woman capable of a longer working life.
However, there was a downside to this unique dental hygiene — it turned the new wife’s teeth black … which soon became an indication of family wealth.
Soooo … poor Japanese women took to painting their teeth black … pretending to be wealthy. … a rather strange fad.
But no stranger than some societal memes in this country … say rap “music” and drag-queen shows for children?

Simulated Reality
Elon Musk has famously speculated that we are all living in a massive simulation in some giant quantum computer many years hence … to be stylishly mimicked by many other Mensa wannabes.
This idea of a giant simulation is based upon the notion that future quantum computers would have effectively unlimited storage and processing capacity to the pont that every item and event in the universe could be created and controlled virtually and rationally … kinda like under the theory of intelligent design.
If you need another analogy, think of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s “meraverse” coming to an ultimate fruition.
Now Pilgrim, although I can understand the logic behind intelligence design … See: God’s Gifts … I can’t completely bite … there are too many things that don’t seem too well designed. And I also definitely cannot swallow the giant simulation of our reality.
Why?
Simple… if everything is an enormous dancing set of Qbits in a gigantic quantum computer … then what is simulating this dancing set of Qbits in this same computer? An even bigger quantum computer?

Where is the media outrage when President Biden can’t be bothered to visit his catastrophe on our Mexican border because he has “more important things to do” … or even notice the dozens freezing to death from our winter blizzards … while he rakes his third luxury beach vacation this year gratis of billionaire boot-lickers and US taxpayers … not counting his constant “lidded” weekends at his Rehoboth Beach manse?
Oh that’s right, they ran their outrage dry while piling on President Trump when he once played golf four times in a month!
Afterward: I call them media maggots because they are feasting on a dying America.

Dear Santa: When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom and didn't love my family. Later, my parents divorced. Soon after, my mother died in a car accident. My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house. Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died. My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day. My brother left home and won't talk to us any more. Dad, now 73, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing. Yours sincerely, Prince William
Thanks Rick …

- New virus introduced from China — Probably not

Root Cause
Pilgrim, didn’t our Mensa member President of Vice, Kamala Harris, after extensive consultation, tell us a root cause of the hoards of illegal migrants coming to the United States was because of global warming (aka, climate change)?
Let me see … hundreds of thousands are leaving warm, even hot climates to trek to our freezing cold (in the tens and twenties) southwestern states?

Fact Checking the Fact Checkers
Pilgrim, if you put blind faith with the fact checkers on the internet, please read the following carefully to see how this game is played.
The issue for today is — Do more people who have been vaccinated die of COVID more. than the unvaccinated?
The claim out of England was that this is the case … which was then contested by the “fact checkers.” Read this seeming debunking here: Yahoo News Story. Read it carefully then come back for more.
Basically, the statistics collected showed that 4.8 times as many vaccinated patients died in England for each unvaccinated patient who died.
OK, in this article Politifact says this is a biased claim primarily because it doesn't account for the fact that 90% of the population was vaccinated and “A very small percentage of a large population is still more people than a higher percentage of a very small one." This, of course, is true.
However, there is still a flaw in this logic … and that is that it assumes that the ratio of COVID patients … both vaccinated and unvaccinated … is the same as the vaccinated ratio … 9 to 1. Of course, if this be the fact, what’s the point of the vaccine? Both vaxed and unvaxed would need to be getting sick at the same rate.
We are not given the number of people, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, who actually got COVID … key numbers.
How do we resolve this? Well, to me, let’s use what the pharma companies themselves claim … that their vaccines are effective over 90% of the time.
This would mean that only about 10% of the 90% of the vaccinated general population should get COVID … or 9% of the general population.
Conversely, 90% of the 10% of the unvaxed general population should get COVID … or also 9% of the general population.
Shazam! Suddenly we realize that the number of patients from both the vaxed and unvaxed populations should be roughly the same. Yet those who have been vaccinated are dying at 4.8 times the rate of the unvaxed!
QED … (and don’t trust the fact checkers!)
STAND UP FOR LOGIC!
