News Briefs – 04/05/2020

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Anonymous Conservative

I always see lots of r/K related stories I think might interest the readers here, but I only have time to blog about a few, so here are some additional news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. For unknown reasons, in some browsers the tweets in these posts display best if you click on the post instead of viewing it on the main page. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of the Fake News, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages, especially about President Trump.

No Q. You can see Q’s posts aggregated live, and new ones which may have gone live after our print deadline at http://www.qanon.pub

The final report of a rigorous four-year computer modeling simulation that was followed by a robust peer review process has concluded that World Trade Center Building 7 could not have collapsed as a result of office fires, as the “official” explanation dubiously claims.

A thread on the Storm which raises interesting points is here.

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes on Friday threatened to escalate his concerns about Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson’s handling of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint to the Justice Department unless Atkinson complies with congressional requests for information and documents.

But I include it here for the archive and to point out there is a lot of hope to look forward to.

The tweets from Trumpstien and Ivaka are supporting the official narrative. There is no dangerous virus you can just “catch”. It’s possible that a real bio weapon was released but covid19 is a strong case of the flu.

Dr Fauci says that covid19 is a version on the flu

You cannot catch a virus

This is one of the research interests of Charles Lieber, the Harvard Chair who was arrested on campus January 28, 20202, was working on (his CV is prodigious, hundreds of papers on nanotech).

“Imagine being able to signal an immune cell to generate antibodies that would fight bacteria or even cancer. That fictional possibility is now a step closer to reality with the development of a bio-compatible transistor the size of a virus. Hyman professor of chemistry Charles Lieber and his colleagues used nanowires to create a transistor so small that it can be used to enter and probe cells without disrupting the intracellular machinery. These nanoscale semiconductor switches could even be used to enable two-way communication with individual cells.

Lieber has worked for the past decade on the design and synthesis of nanoscale parts that will enable him to build tiny electronic devices (see “Liquid Computing,” November-December 2001, page 20). Devising a biological interface, in which a nanoscale device can actually communicate with a living organism, has been an explicit goal from the beginning, but has proven tricky. At its simplest, the problem was inserting a transistor constructed on a flat plane (think of the surface of a computer chip) into a three-dimensional object: a cell perhaps 10 microns in size. Merely piercing the cell was not enough, because transistors need a source wire from which electrons flow and a drain wire through which they are discharged.”

One imagines that this nanotech signalling could also be used to “turn off” immune cells. So possibly a relatively innocuous viral infection could be allowed to run rampant if your normal immune response is impaired.

The possibilities are limitless. Directing T or B cells to reproduce without limit and you have leukemia/lymphoma. Disable T cells and certain cancers would be able to take hold and metastasize.

And this guy was paid $1.5 million to set up the lab in Wuhan, in addition to a monthly stipend of $50k/month and a cohort of Chinese grad students, some of whom were military officers (as per the original WaPo article on his arrest).

“When scaled down, the difference between digital and living systems blurs, so that you have an opportunity to do things that sound like science fiction–things that people have only dreamed about.”

Dreams, or nightmares? (and note, this article was from 2011. UK’s first 4G system was installed 2012. Now the 5G rollout…)

Here’s Forbes in 2018, on Smart Dust:

I”magine a world where wireless devices are as small as a grain of salt. These miniaturized devices have sensors, cameras and communication mechanisms to transmit the data they collect back to a base in order to process. Today, you no longer have to imagine it: microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), often called motes, are real and they very well could be coming to a neighborhood near you. Whether this fact excites or strikes fear in you it’s good to know what it’s all about.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2018/09/16/smart-dust-is-coming-are-you-ready/#2d2719635e41

Practical applications of smart dust

The potential of smart dust to collect information about any environment in incredible detail could impact plenty of things in a variety of industries from safety to compliance to productivity. It’s like multiplying the internet of things technology millions or billions of times over. Here are just some of the ways it might be used:

Monitor crops in an unprecedented scale to determine watering, fertilization and pest-control needs.
Monitor equipment to facilitate more timely maintenance.
Identify weaknesses and corrosion prior to a system failure.
Enable wireless monitoring of people and products for security purposes.
Measuring anything that can be measured nearly anywhere.
Enhance inventory control with MEMS to track products from manufacturing facility shelves to boxes to palettes to shipping vessels to trucks to retail shelves.
Possible applications for the healthcare industry are immense from diagnostic procedures without surgery to monitoring devices that help people with disabilities interact with tools that help them live independently.
Researchers at UC Berkeley published a paper about the potential for neural dust, an implantable system to be sprinkled on the human brain, to provide feedback about brain functionality.

Read that last one again. “Neural dust.” Coupled with Dr. Lieber’s work,

Here’s a downside of Smart Dust tech that Forbes highlights: Control:

“Once billions of smart dust devices are deployed over an area it would be difficult to retrieve or capture them if necessary. Given how small they are, it would be challenging to detect them if you weren’t made aware of their presence. The volume of smart dust that could be engaged by a rogue individual, company or government to do harm would make it challenging for the authorities to control if necessary.”

Here’s TSE Systems, which makes aerosolized nanotech:

https://www.tse-systems.com/product-details/inhalation-systems

2017: Characterization of Aerosols of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Following Three Generation Methods Using an Optimized Aerosolization System Designed for Experimental Inhalation Studies

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5634700/

“Nanoparticles (NPs) can be released in the air in work settings, but various factors influence the exposure of workers. Controlled inhalation experiments can thus be conducted in an attempt to reproduce real-life exposure conditions and assess inhalation toxicology.”

Here’s where it gets even more problematic: Companies like Raytheon are working on “Microelectric Mechanical Sensors” and “Global Environmental Mechanical Sensors”. But according to a flier produced by the U.S. Military Inc. called Military Progress, “The green light has been given” to disperse swarms of these wirelessly-networked nano-bots into the atmosphere via remotely-controlled UAV drones for “global warming mitigation.”

These robot sprayers include the U.S. Army’s Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the U.S. Air Force’s own Global Hawks and Predators. The UAVs “are slated to deploy various payloads for weather warfare,” per Military Progress

Threatening to further unhinge an increasingly heat-stressed atmosphere, more nano-size aerosols can be crammed into a small robot plane than all the conventional weather mod chemicals packed into a tanker the size of a DC-10.

Rutgers University scientist J. Storrs Hall loves nano weather bots. “Interconnected, atmospherically buoyant, and having navigation capability in three dimensions – clouds of microscopic computer particles communicating with each other and with a control system, could provide tremendous capability,” Hall enthuses.

“It is potentially relatively inexpensive to do,” says Hall . How can high-tech nano chips be so cheap?

Answer: Nano particles are self-replicating. That is, these ultra-miniature self-assembling machines can be made to reproduce themselves until programmed to stop.

“Nanoparticles can easily be released in the air in an aerosol form, and inhalation is generally considered as the primary route of occupational exposure to NPs. Once inhaled, NPs may reach the deep lung and alveolus; this region is the primary site of deposition for particle size under 100 nmp.” Such deep penetration can illicit inflammation, and deposits in peripheral airways and terminal acini would produce the typical peripheral ground-glass opacities being described on CT scans of Corona virus.

One last thing. AC and others have wondered about potential neural involvement by Covid19. Here’s an “emergency” publication put out last week by the Radiological Association of North America. This article includes MRI images of patient with extensive thalamic and medial temporal involvement, “necrotizing encephalitis.”

When this is over Trump needs to default on our debt held by China, end their Most Favored Nation status and hit them with huge tariffs.

And look at seizing Chinese assets.

So I ‘dehydrated’ one of my 3M N95 masks (Model #1870). This is a surgical mask with rubber bands and has a foam piece across the bridge of the nose with a metal band to shape it. I had used this mask a number of times when I went ‘out’ (grocery and hardware stores) I figured it was time to ‘cure it’.

It spent 4 hrs inside my ex-caliber food dehydrator @ 140F.

Results, the only thing I can tell about the materials is that the rubber bands aren’t as ‘snappy’, it’s like they relaxed. But the rest of the mask is fine. Foam is still glued, everything else seems to be the same.

Success cooking my N95 mask (3M Model #1870). 4hrs @140F in my food dehydrator the only material change I can see is the rubber bands aren’t as snappy, everything else seems to be AOK.
