Cutting through all this techno-waffle

Welcome to 2020, read up.

How you even gonna make it in this coming 4th Industrial Reveloution, if every acronym you see is (lol) 'techo-waffle' to you.
This is something the over 60's would come out with, you appear to be paranoid or filter-blocking anything that's slightly technical.



Well....what you actually mean, is the replicaiton of the Chinese model of highly efficent SmartLampPosts (yes, the type often cut down by civil rights protesters in HK with angle grinders).

Of course the 'Smart Cities' concept is nothing new (currently experiencing global hyper-gowth)
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/...e-smart-cities

The multi-functional smart posts are the centre peice.

They will host a huge variety of sensors, IOT, lightning fast data points upon cloud archtecture, and a plethora of high zoom, (ai)cameras (including infrared {QDT} spectroscopy) scaning capability (and more), are all given.

Of course the WEF recommends the acceleration of such 'InfraTech' ecosystems, and require civic participation (compliance) for all new modals of Urban Innovation.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/...-smart-cities/
Cities should adopt 'Smart Urbanisation' https://intelligence.weforum.org/top...b=publications
Pre-crime (constant audio monitoring combined, along with ai-pattern forecasting) even gets a mention here:
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/...ies-72269e8b88

All fine, but why has Silcon Valley banned simple street level public CCTV, why has GoogleGlass AR been abandoned, why have the cops in Wales been called out for mass data combing of faces using Clearview's ({recently hacked} db of 3bn).

But it's not that we don't understand the technical terms, you are just using them in a way that makes it look more like you're desperate to sound like you understand them.

You constantly use anagrams, then immediately explain them in full and also providing the full link to what you are talking about.
You also constantly misuse and redefine terms to you own liking regardless of how the rest of the word uses those terms.
Combined with this, you have very odd grammar and a bizarre way of writing that uses a lot of random asides. (I would describe it as Trumpian.)
On top of that you also keep trying to attempt humor and wit with often have you misspelling words and names for some reason.

And all of this comes in a wall of text in response to simple yes or no questions where you never actually answer the question.

Your posts take time and effort to actually untangle what you are trying to say, but often it's very clear your posts aren't worth the effort.

You then also combine these terms in as long as a string as you can to make your statement as technical sounding as possible, even if it isn't correct or accurate.
Hence, you use a lot of technobabble and technowaffle.

Not really. Just pointing out that his accusation that anyone who doesn't accept his conspiracy theories is doing so because they don't understand technical terms is incorrect.

The late Dr and Nobel Laureat Kary Mullis (creator of PCR) said this about it:

"It allows you to take a very miniscule amount of anything and make it measurable and then talk about it in meetings as if it is important"
"PCR is just a process to make a whole lot of something, it doesn't tell you that you're sick"

Sounds like you've been on the paronoid sci-fi jucie, else binge watching the Terminator with copious amounts of sugary popcorn: the 'underground' who, say whaaa?

All that is required is to say 'no thanks' to certain aspects, that is all, nothing more. Perhaps a temporary inconvenience here and there, ah well.

Without 80-90% type penetration, the Great Resetters will simply have to dull down their initial great sweeping plans for their own visions of sudden planned changes.

Certainly when society is ready for such grand changes (not really anytime soon), then by all means, the post-digital era can begin, at a more normal graduated pace. Certain aspects of it are indeed very useful and should not be discounted outright.

Saw a segment relating to this on a tv programme recently.
It may be "only" in china but let's hope none of these policies are rolled out in the western world because that is exactly what they are doing what you are suggesting i.e. tracking people.

Eight months later, here we are. The Head of the Health Emergencies Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14%, approximately the same as the seasonal flu. And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control:

Age 0-19 … 99.997%
Age 20-49 … 99.98%
Age 50-69 … 99.5%
Age 70+ … 94.6%
The “science” argument is officially over. An increasing number of doctors and medical experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the current mass hysteria over “cases” (which now includes perfectly healthy people) is essentially meaningless propaganda

This video is worth a look in relation to the now huge pushback from professional scientists and doctors worldwide

As to why the CDC or the WHO are giving this information..well I suggest that in this way they can´t be accused later of hiding the facts from us, even though in some cases these seem to have appeared by accident, like Michael Ryan while trying to scaremonger, giving that 0.14% IFR to anyone who can do his sums.
In any case, there has been so much disinformation, contradictory information presented all through these last 8 months, it seems to be part of the technique of the guiding groups to achieve public compliance. As Orwell described the importance of ´´doublethink´´ holding two contradictory ideas at the same time, believing both to be true etc. Fauci saying masks were useles early on based on years of excellent studies, then declaring that we should all wear masks a couple of months ago. Have we forgoten that we did flatten the curve? But obviously that wasn´t enough.

You are misinterpreting figures (in order to downplay the severity)

Here is the case fatality rate for Ireland with a good explainer

And here is the current situation in the UK of covid 19 v pneumonia v seasonal flu
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54463511

TLDR Covid 19 is more deadly than seasonal flu. It critically also risks overwhelming hospitals which creates huge risks for people with other health issues.

That's a video by one doctor (who has brought the case in Germany) that is doing the rounds on conspiracy sites. Certainly not a "huge pushback" at all.

Someone in one of these threads held up a document signed by ~300 health experts/professionals/doctors, claiming that it represented some sort of medical or expert consensus. No, that number represented less than 1% of the total number of doctors in that country.

Also, I don't really understand this line of argument.

Even if it's "only as bad as the flu", that's still bad.
That's at least doubling the amount of sick people dying when flu season hits.

And that's before even considering things like the number of corona virus cases that are severe enough to require hospitalisation compared to those cases for flu.
I'm not seeing that figure toted about by conspiracy theorists, so I assume that it doesn't support the conspiracy theory if the number is even available.

And even that's before considering how the virus might pan out over time or it's long term effects in people who get it and survive. And on top of that, we still aren't sure how immune people are after infection.

Remember, earlier we were being told by conspiracy theorists that no one could be an expert in the virus because it hadn't been around for even a year.
We were told by conspiracy theorists that a vaccine couldn't be tested inside 18 months cause we couldn't know it's long term effects.

Now that it suits, conspiracy theorists are saying that 10 months is more than enough time to understand the virus and it's long term effects enough to declare it's not an issue.

But I guarantee that if governments, the CDC and the WHO et al. were treating the corona virus as if it were as severe as the flu, conspiracy theorists would be bleating about how it's a super effective bioweapon meant to depopulate the planet or some such.

I remember when this was being claimed about Swine Flu ten years ago.
I remember when it was claimed about covid only like 6 months ago...

Has there been any event in the last 20 years that wasn't a massive conspiracy of some kind?

I'm pretty sure every pandemic was a conspiracy also, so I'm curious what conspiracy theorists are using as a benchmark for what a normal pandemic should be like.

Do you think the response has been proportionate in Ireland or worldwide? Have you any idea of the devastation caused?
One startling fact is that more youth suicide attempts are now being reported in one month than earlier in a whole year.
Ireland´s own stats now show us that 19 out of 20 patients who died at the peak of the Irish covid fatality graph were considered by our overrun health service already too old and too weak to be put on a ventilator. They were left in their carehomes to die. All this while people with serious health problems avoided going to the hospitals for treatment out of fear of the virus. Hence many very quiet hospitals and lots of dancing nurses. In Germany 90% of cancer operations were cancelled or postponed. Serious stuff!
Do you think our dear leaders really care about old people, or sick people of any age. That would be a conspiracy theory because there is certainly no evidence of such a caring government!
Hitherto the protocall for spending allowance on treatment for a sick person in UK was about 22000 euro. I doubt Ireland´s is much higher. Sweden is about 50000 Euro.
What do you think the spend per covid death worldwide to date has been ??..A conservative estimate would put that at least 10,000,000 euro per person and counting.
But then anyone who has a problem with this outrageous situation or tries to highlight any aspect of it , is conveniently labelled a conspiracy nut.

All over the world operations have been cancelled/postponed because hospitals and more importantly staff were becoming overwhelmed. Staff were also contracting the virus, in one department 20 staff were hit including 3 physicians, who had to use up one of the ventilators.

The stuff you are bringing up are the same conspiracy/covid-denier talking points we've seen in here for months.

TLDR Covid 19 is more deadly than seasonal flu. It critically also risks overwhelming hospitals which creates huge risks for people with other health issues.

The WHO (Accidentally) Confirmed Covid is No More Dangerous Than Flu
Head of Health Emergencies Program “best estimates” put IFR at 0.14%

The WHO’s top brass made this announcement during a special session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board on Monday October 5th, it’s just nobody seemed to really understand it.

In fact, they didn’t seem to completely understand it themselves.

At the session, Dr Michael Ryan, the WHO’s Head of Emergencies revealed that they believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with Sars-Cov-2. This is their “best estimate”, and a huge increase over the number of officially recognised cases (around 35 million).

Dr. Margaret Harris, a WHO spokeswoman, later confirmed the figure, stating it was based on the average results of all the broad seroprevalence studies done around the world.

As much as the WHO were attempting to spin this as a bad thing – Dr Ryan even said it means “the vast majority of the world remains at risk.” – it’s actually good news. And confirms, once more, that the virus is nothing like as deadly as everyone predicted.

The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539.

That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.

0.14% is over 24 times LOWER than the WHO’s “provisional figure” of 3.4% back in March. This figure was used in the models which were used to justify lockdowns and other draconian policies.

In fact, given the over-reporting of alleged Covid deaths, the IFR is likely even lower than 0.14%, and could show Covid to be much less dangerous than flu.

None of the mainstream press picked up on this. Though many outlets reported Dr Ryan’s words, they all attempted to make it a scary headline and spread more panic.

Apparently neither they, nor the WHO, were capable of doing the simple maths that shows us this is good news. And that the Covid sceptics have been right all along.

King Mob

Also, if you are claiming that there's a concerted global plot that involves dozens of medical and scientific organisations, dozens of governments and thousands of politicans, doctors, journalists and experts, for the purpose of falsely inflating the threat of the virus for some nefarious end, then yea, that's a conspiracy theory.
If you believe and present a conspiracy theory, you are a conspiracy theorist.

If you don't like that term, maybe stop believing and presenting conspiracy theories.
