Don’t look now, but Google is in trouble. The end of 2020 has brought with it a flurry of lawsuits targeting the tech giant’s allegedly unlawful business practices. In late October, the Justice Department pursued antitrust charges for “[using] anticompetitive tactics to maintain and extend its monopolies in the markets for general search services, search advertising, and general search text advertising,” according toThe Wall Street Journal.

Two Minnesota Legislators Say COVID-19 Deaths Inflated, Demand Audit | The Daily Caller
Republican Minnesota State Sen. Scott Jensen suggested health care dollars are affecting the official COVID-19 death rate.“When the Department of Health and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] decided to change the rules that had been in place for 17 years by encouraging the diagnosis of COVID-19 in situations that we never would have otherwise, they were abandoning their long-held commitment to precisely identifying the inciting or the initiating event that would lead to a sequence of events that would lead to a person’s demise,” Jensen said.

The Meaningless Meaning of “(COVID)-Cases”
– Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser
...Each day, we’re bombarded (I’d say ad nauseam) with reports & news of more COVID-19 “cases,” whatever that term means.
You’d think that this term would be well defined, here, there and everywhere. I wish you luck in finding a standard, generally accepted definition of it. If you succeed, please let me know.
But, don’t despair, there’s a cure for it. Big Pharma is “on the case.”
Some Definitions of “Cases”
- First, let’s see how Wikipedia defines it: Searching Wikipedia for the definition of “case,” at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case (accessed on Dec. 29, 2020, 6:21 pm EST) in this context. I could not find any reference to COVID-19, or any other medical meaning of the term “case” – none at all!
- The CDC (U.S. Centers for Decease Control and Prevention); again just searching for a definition of the term “case” provides only such for Listeriosis: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/conditions/listeriosis/case-definition/2019/ ). No mention of COVID-19 – none at all.
- Undeterred, further checking found a CDC definition, dating back to April, 2020, (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/conditions/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/case-definition/2020/ ) answering my quest. There, it states, under the Headlines (also accessed on Dec. 29, 2020) as follows :
- “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), 2020 Interim Case Definition, Approved April 5, 2020”:
Most interesting, at least in my mind is that “evidence of pneumonia” – by this definition alone — now qualifies as a clinical evidence of COVID-19 “infection.”
...That truly begs the question:What differentiates the “common flu” from “COVID-19?”
As far as I can reckon, the answer to that question is hard to come by.
Both the “flu” and COVID-19,” diagnosed via the unspecific “PCR” (polymerase-chain-reaction test), appear to test for similar or, perhaps even identical, biological fragments in one’s body.
What’s of interesting significance in that regard is also a recent report in the journal Nature that states, inter alia,
“In May [2020], at the tail end of the first wave of COVID-19 deaths in many nations, and when some of the strictest lockdowns were in place, health workers noted an abrupt and early halt to the 2019–20 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere.”
...For another opinion along this line of thought, A. Firstenberg summarized that in a recent post with the title “The Wrong Pandemic.”...Read all!

The Ten Worst Legacy Media Abuses of 2020
6. “Mostly peaceful” riots
"...Perhaps the most egregious example came from CNN. As a fire raged amid riots in Kenosha, Wisc., the CNN chyron read, “FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING.”
While Black Lives Matter and antifa rioters may have intended to fight alleged “institutional racism,” the riots disproportionately damaged black communities in Kenosha, Wisc., Minneapolis, and Chicago. The riots destroyed black lives, black livelihoods, and black monuments. At least 26 Americans have died in the riots, most of them black.
...The New York Times propped up the destructive ideology fueling the riots.
In September, the Times published a report suggesting that any violence in the riots came from police and “right-wing activists.”
