Their authoritative sources makes me want to vomit.

The ink is barely dry on the Elon Musk deal, how long should we give him to fire the entire censorship staff?

I applied to be on the TruthSocial waiting list months ago, twice, and haven't heard from them. Now I have an iPhone, is it true you can only access it through one of those? But I have lost interest in it. Trump should go back to Twitter as soon as Elon gives the nod.

Sickening. But didn't Musk buy the staff that comes with the platform? What can we expect?

When you buy a house, you don't get the key's straight away Steve. So I think a matter of patience is appropriate for this one. Besides, I doubt that Musk will be able to go in there straight away and do radical changes without taking a look at what BS has been going on.

However, it does appear that many users are finding their audiences are growing much faster than pre buy out, which suggests that Twitter have already begun to do 'something'. One speculation about this is that they are now trying to do damage limitation before Musk and his auditors enter the building. I think we're going to find out about a lot of very dirty underhand algorithmic work that was going on.

Just give it some time. I doubt that Musk would do anything too radical too soon. He needs to find out where the land lies.

My hope: That Elon's liberalization changes have not kicked in yet How would we know?

Dear Steve Kirsch,

I have a speculation and a proposal (two actually) for you. Please offer suggestions or disseminate, we need to work on actual tools that can replace the status quo, communicating/complaining is fun and we make friends but I have not found it to help much in the two+ years I have tried my best.

I speculate that the elite are thinking as follows. We are rich, we wield a lot of power, we want for nothing money can buy, we want for very little else that is available on the black markets, we have an irrational infantile desire to live forever, we will settle for living for as long as possible, we have been sold the idea that this can be achieved with gene based therapies by opportunistic snake oil pedlars, we want to do everything to help them develop their snake oil, they bemoan the fact that humanity is loath to experiment with gene therapies in humans on a large scale, we can help manipulate humanity into normalising gene therapy experiments so life extension therapies can be developed for the elite. The rest is just means to an end.

I would like to propose that you raise the following idea with as many resistance fighters/activists as you can, perhaps you can write here on substack, no need to mention me and you can even claim it is your idea if you are the first to gain traction. There should be at least one totally independent funding site for research. It should have a place where unconflicted (but in some way accredited) researchers can share their credentials, fields of specialisation and research goals. It would have a place where lay folk like me can propose ideas for studies, such as how much does lanolin need to be irradiated to be useful as a topical Vitamin-D3 source with application, or what sort of technical challenges need to be overcome to develop a home based 25(OH)D3 test system, as easy as to use as an Insulin test. It would need a peer based and interested party group that would see if a research proposal is possible to answer public research goals and try and match them up with accredited researchers who could register a research proposal. Then it would also have a crowd financing portal where ANYONE can sponsor money into a common pool, into a topic of their interest, for a researchers they trust, a specific public proposal or a registered trial proposal. At such time as enough funds are collected to cover the needs of a trial the researchers would be contracted to proceed with the trial and they only conflict of interest would be the funders who would be the "Citizens Research Foundation" which could be a not for profit. This would allow for people to get research that is of value to the people and cannot be tainted by pharma money. The researchers would not get paid but their sponsoring institution would have the study costs covered on condition that all raw data is published as soon as the preprint is published.

That release of raw data would be the paid deliverable and all publications free to read. If the study is well done the institution and the researchers would gain credit. Everything in the organisation would be open source with as few leaders (that can be subverted) as possible driven by best practice and consensus with no outside interference and strict term limits. This could form an alternative structure that could grow fast and reliably to replace the existing mess as it gains in trust and reputation.

Here is my collection of selected reading on the Vitamin-D3 topic.

PS. The news syndicates Reuters and Associated Press are the means that propaganda is disseminated. The hundreds of global news outlets have lost the skill to do journalism so now simply repeat the narrative obediently. Tracking news that is flashed everywhere simultaneously should automatically be given a propaganda warning perhaps with a browser plug-in. I have suggested someone write a plug-in for the main browsers that would strike-through or redact the names of propaganda sources while we are browsing the net so we know that when something is attributed to them we know that it is not attributed to a factual source but in fact a propaganda narrative. I believe two similar products were developed a long time ago, one would add a Finnish profanity to a news headline from a certain media outlet and another would simply add a question mark "?" to the end of every mainstream media headline so people can be prepared to be critical when they read something. A small amount of money to pay a handful of coders a few weeks and then a tool for crowd tagging of sources based on good science to provide data. The system must be tracking free, collect NO DATA and leak as little to the compertition (do not use downloaded fonts, free SSL certificates, google analytics or links or ping/trackbacks) and offer user selected program and data upgrades from the client side with a calendar reminder.

I'll post the first one and see what happens

not too optimistic but cautious regarding EM; he says he came from poverty; his father had an emerald mine in south africa where he grew up. Oh did he grow up?

Noticed this morning that Amazon appears to have delisted Dr. Thomas Levy's book Rapid Virus Recovery. I still have my Kindle copy. The book is available (apparently) from other sellers but cannot find its listing on Amazon. Levy is a Vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide nebulization advocate. Also advocates magnesium supplements.

All the nonsense done on Monday was to divert attention form the app store launch of Truth Social.

Elon can give no fucks about free speech.

Too many Naive people that trust in Elon the Saver! 😂 The man that wants to connect our brains to his Neuralink. I guess Twitter and the information he'll get from Twitter about "our" privacy...will be used in Neuralink and will push his dream (and our nightmare) into reality!
