stateless - would you call this trolling?
W4u has stated on the record that he wants dictatorship
Marshall law for civil unrest and biden to jail his political opponents now before the elections
Don’t make unwarranred accusations.
What you don’t undersyand is that the US is under threat and martial law is a temporary defensive posture .
It is Trump want to install a dictatorship. Read what he wants to do to dismantle the current national economics.
Donald Trump’s Secret Weapon to Dismantle American Education
The former president’s plans for a second term could reshape American education and academic freedom as we know it.
From deploying the military to crush protest to bending the limits of the president’s constitutional authority, Donald Trump’s plans for a potential second term could completely reconstruct the power of the federal government. But one little-discussed proposal would leverage an obscure bureaucratic process to transform education and academic freedom in this country.
A series of campaign statements, dubbed “Agenda47,” lays out the former president’s vision for 2025 and beyond—one that fights for conservative values in the culture wars permeating American education, while leaving education decisions to states and students’ families.
Trump plans to shutter the Department of Education, restore prayer in schools, create an American Academy that awards low-cost degrees to students paid for by levying financial penalties against institutions that do not yield to his ideological standards, revitalize school choice, limit discussion of LGBTQ+ content in classrooms, and much more.
These proposals are almost identical to Project 2025: a 920-page playbook chock-full of right-wing policy priorities for the next Trump administration. The Heritage Foundation, the organization that authored Project 2025, declined to make any of its scholars available for comment.
Trump and his conservative allies have zeroed in on one specific regulatory power they hope to wield to instill “American values” in higher education: accreditation. While typically viewed as a monotonous and routine requirement, Trump plans to weaponize the accreditation process to “reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical left” and instill conservative values in these independent institutions.
If colleges do not adopt Trump’s right-wing values, they will be in jeopardy of losing federal funding.

They are warranted,
Putting your posts up for others to see who is lying here.
I have just one simple reply.
Trump says there will be ‘bloodbath’ if he doesn’t get elected in November as he campaigns for GOP’s Bernie Moreno in Ohio
PUBLISHED SAT, MAR 16 20247:12 PM EDT
This a clear case of sedition and a call for violent action.
I call that a threat to the Nation and warrants strong action to stop this treasonous speech, before people start dying while trying to vote for Biden.
Yes, went way over the edge.
You want to condone such treasonous speech by a wannabe President?
The hypocrite cant see it and got call out for it
And who is the hypocrite? Or more accurately, the gullible mark who believes Trump is qualified to be president.
It makes no difference who the Democratic choice is.
We have a promise of civil war unless the Democrats concede , before the votes are even cast.
Trump’s Far-Right Army Is Threatening Bloodshed. Believe Them.
As Roberts notes, this is really the largest issue we all face, and our mainstream media are totally failing to either recognize or clearly articulate how radically different our country is now, how far the Republicans on the Court have dragged us away from both our Founder’s vision and the norms and standards of a functioning, modern democratic republic.
When are you going to see through the veil of lies and misdirection by the notorious con-man Trump.
He doesn’t belong in public service, he belongs in public incarceration for his crimes.
The possibility of internal conflict is being discussed at every level, academic to the highest government and military. I don’t like most it, don’t agree with all of the so-called solutions, but how could I determine an “edge” when Presidential candidates and advisors are saying it?
The dismantling of public education is also in Project 2025.
I just added a some information related to that.
Project 2025: What is it? Who is behind it? How is it connected to Trump?

Let’s look at what just happened in 30 seconds.
Lawfare. Common in Ca & NY for decades now. Is the political operation of the State’s legal system to the point a sandwich can be convicted of murder. Lawyers will tell you that there is no way they can stop an innocent man from going to jail if the power in charge of the system wants him in jail.
Along comes Braggs. Ran for office with the claim he would put Trump in prison. For what? Well, that doesn’t matter. First charge Trump and then find a crime. Pretty much what happened.
Of course, the system was not built to put innocent people in jail. The system was designed so the accused can defend themselves. Follow Trump’s case. He was charged. Then there must be intent proven. What did they say was Trump’s intent? They brought up four different ideas of intent. Which one do they think was Trump’s intent, Trump’s lawyers wanted to know. In this joke of a justice system. Trump was told he had NO right to be told what his intent was. If you are going to convict a sandwich. You don’t want the sandwich to be able to have due process.
Trump got no notice or opportunity to be heard using an expert.
The instructions to the jury were to pick one of the four possible intents. The jury didn’t have to agree on the same intents. (totally nuts) And they would be able to find Trump guilty. The judge told the jury what the charges were when instructions were given. In other words, after the trial.
Of course, that is going to be thrown out by the supreme court. They don’t care about that. Because the goal of election interference and to keep Trump from the office would be achieved.
That my friend is what one would call – Over the Edge.
Second, I told you the other day the House was coming up with a lot of data they haven’t been able to receive in years of asking the departments for. The one that got me the most was. Project DEFUSE.
Follow the money. Congress prints money. But they don’t spend it. The money goes to departments who spend the money. It is coming to daylight that if you want money. Then you go to a department and ask for money. The more departments you go to, the better your chances. As it turns out, many of the departments are funding the same type of items. It is now possible that 15 departments were asked to fund the Covid project back in 2018. And that none of the departments let the public know this. Where are the moral obligations?
Isn’t it over the edge that we find this out in 2024!
Death numbers are 15M and the unaccounted-for-deaths are not being counted or are going away. Will this end up being a bigger death toll than WWII? Blame it on the animals.
Trump can delay his trials until he can pardon himself.

Representative Comer has about as much legitimacy as your words.
Since Mike is so good a weaving misinformation and distortion and omission into and out of his texts, I’ll figure we should hear a little from EcoHealth, itself.
No one is claiming no mistakes were made. But this ruthless GOP attack on scientists, where as a matter of strategy they never allow the scientists to clearly explain themselves, instead it’s brow beating and playing by high school debate rules, anything goes, facts are incidental, whatever it takes to emotionalize the audience, and winning the popularity contest is what matters. As opposed to an adult (sciencie debate) where better understanding is the object and lying is a Cardinal Sin.
EcoHealth Alliance’s Response to Recent Allegations
June 3, 2024 – If you are reading this, you have likely heard some of the allegations about EcoHealth Alliance’s coronavirus research. These focus on our work in China, which was designed to try to understand why that region is an emerging disease hotspot and how SARS, H5N1 high path avian flu, and COVID-19 originated. Over the past four years, as we’ve all lived through a global coronavirus pandemic that originated in China and its aftermath, our work has become politicized, with negative narratives amplified. EcoHealth Alliance strongly refutes these allegations. We have provided dozens of statements to the press to show that they are patently false, but in a difficult political landscape, these false narratives find fertile ground. We believe that a comprehensive review of the facts and evidence will help people understand the value of our work, and realize that allegations about our work and our management of grants are baseless and without merit.
Whether you are a long-time supporter of EHA or a recent newcomer who discovered us through the current news cycle, we hope you will take the time to review our responses to the many false claims and allegations below. This is a long document, and we hope you’ll bear with us; we are being as open and transparent as possible and aim to provide you with the information and facts, with citations and references to source material, to make up your own mind.
“Lab Leak” Theory
There is much being said about the lab leak theory—the theory that COVID-19 is a “man-made” virus that originated from a laboratory, either purposefully or accidentally. While many Americans believe this to be proven, this simply reflects its tireless iterations in the press, often with unfounded and sweeping generalizations, and without any credible supporting scientific evidence.
And, while there may be the occasional scientist who has agreed to go on record giving credibility to this theory, the fact is that most of the scientific community does not support the lab leak theory. Species to species transmission, i.e., zoonotic disease spillover, remains by far the most likely genesis, as supported by a growing body of scientific evidence1—it was most likely transmitted from infected animals in the wildlife farms and markets of China to its first human hosts, in a manner similar to the Ebola, SARS, MERS, and avian flu outbreaks in recent years.
In fact, while there is no evidence that COVID-19 came from a laboratory, there is substantial evidence that it didn’t. The bat coronavirus research conducted by EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology could not have started the pandemic; as then-NIH Director Frances Collins said in a public statement on October 20, 2021:
“NIH wants to set the record straight on NIH-supported research to understand naturally occuring bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, funded through a subaward from NIH grantee EcoHealth Alliance. Analysis of published genomic data and other documents from the grantee demonstrate that the naturally occurring bat coronaviruses studies under the NIH grant are genetically far distant from SARS-CoV-2 and could not have possibly caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Any claims to the contrary are demonstrably false.”2
“The closest known relative to SARS-CoV-2 is only around 96 percent similar; to put this into context, humans and chimps are around 99 percent similar, demonstrating the significant differences even at this similarity.”–Office of the Director of National Intelligence 3
We understand that the current narrative is a seductive one for those trying to make sense of the years of loss and chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; researchers studying bat coronaviruses at the epicenter of a global outbreak seem like culpable suspects. However, while there is no evidence that COVID-19 came from a laboratory, there is substantial evidence that it originated from the wildlife farms and markets throughout Southeast Asia and China, including Wuhan. There are now well over a dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers in some of the world’s highest impact scientific journals, by researchers not linked to EcoHealth Alliance, demonstrating the following:
- There is a large diversity of SARS-related coronaviruses in bats in Southeast Asia, and particularly in China.
- The closest related viruses to SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19) are from bats in countries adjacent to China, or within China.
- The wildlife farms and markets in China had reached an industrial scale just prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, employing 14 million people in China alone by 2016.
- We now know that live wild animals of the species known to harbor coronaviruses were being shipped into the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan prior to the outbreak.
- There is substantial epidemiological evidence demonstrating the first human cases were from people in the wild animal market in Wuhan, not at the labs that are miles away.
- Analysis of the genetics of SARS-CoV-2 points to an origin in the wild animal market in Wuhan, and does not support genetic engineering.
The citations for each of these research findings are available in a summary paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.4
The fact is, while most of the world has been blissfully unaware of terms like zoonotic disease spillover, EcoHealth Alliance has devoted itself, for decades, to studying exactly that. We were positioned in Wuhan because China was long considered a hotspot for emerging diseases, based on a variety of factors: the co-existence of large bat and human populations, the extensive wildlife trade network, and the proliferation of wet markets, wherein a variety of live animals, both wild and farmed, were kept and slaughtered in close proximity to each other.5
EcoHealth’s presence in Wuhan at that time has been misused to suggest our complicity in creating COVID-19; rather, it is proof of our prescience in predicting the emergence of disease. In the 15 years prior to the COVID outbreak, our scientists repeatedly stated that a bat-origin coronavirus originating in the wildlife farms and markets of China was at a high risk of becoming a pandemic. EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak sounded this alarm on 60 Minutes interview, filmed almost 20 years ago: “What worries me the most is that we’re going to miss the next emerging disease, that we’re going to suddenly find a SARS virus that moves from one part of the planet to another, wiping people out as it goes along.”67
While it was unfortunate that our research was not able to prevent COVID-19 from happening, it was able to provide a lot of data and information that was used to test the COVID-19 vaccines, drugs, and treatments that saved millions of lives, both in the U.S. and globally, during the pandemic.
In our field, there is a term known as the Prevention Paradox; it posits that you will never know the extent of the pandemic you have successfully prevented. We do, however, know the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic, in both dollars and lives, and now that a highly pathogenic strain of avian flu is circulating the world, with evidence of transmission between multiple species—we’d like nothing more than to get back to the work of preventing the next pandemic.

Republican war on science has been going on for years. As a member of AAAS, I get the emails that refer to everything (policies, mainly) from trump to the republicans attacks on science including climate change and the recent disgusting SCOTUS ruling on the Chevron doctrine.
But they are down one now.

What proof would you accept that the charges were known before the trial?
The Russian nesting dolls are subtle.
What are you doing as member of the AAAS? You guys’ better wake up and clean-up your act. Science used to have a good name. Not anymore. Money making crooks that will lie and sell out to anyone.
Let’s look at science. Climate Change science or Actuarial Science? Who should I believe?
