Whoops. I had written heart attack in two places. Fixed. My mistake. Heart attacks are plumbing issues. Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. I was well aware of the distinction at the time I wrote it (having learned the difference months ago), but I guess old habits die hard.

I am not in the least bit surprised the media has not picked up on this story.

The media are not some incidental background feature of the pandemic, they are at the epicentre of everything that is wrong about this moment in time. They are not a passive feature of this insanity they are the engine room of chaos and the destruction of the west.

It needs to be stated explicitly and repeatedly: Journalists are centrally responsible for everything that is happening. They are the worst of it to the extent that they hide behind the assertion of their objectivity, which makes them hypocrites and charlatans. They have betrayed their traditional role. They protect politicians and officials. They fail to ask basic questions. They block all enquiry. Ridicule all doubt. Castigate all objectors. Without them and their explicit support this would end, collapse, instantly, overnight.

At this moment in time there can be no more disgraceful a profession than to call yourself a "journalist".
