Things that make you go HMMM...

 Elon Musk has positioned 100 Starlinks over Iran, which will let the protesters there go on the internet without the government stopping them.

China expects half of their population to catch the latest (mild) strain of Covid, and they have lifted restrictions.

the idea is that since the latest Covid strain is much milder and more infectious than the original covid strain, to allow the virus to do it's thing and the result will be herd immunity.

The anti vaxxers don't recognize this, and gaslight you by saying that no restrcitions or shots should have been given when the more virulent strain was killing the young the old the pregnant etc.

..........................

China is sending planes into Taiwan's airspace, trying to provoke them into a war.

and their ships have been pushing around the Philippines in the West Philippine sea.

Just in case a war starts here in Asia: You have been warned.

A bad snowstorm in the US. This has happened before but this time there are brownouts and failures of the electrical grid.

We have brown outs and lose power with storms and typhoons a couple times a yaer, but we aren't below Zero temperature so it's not as bad. In my prayers.

================

as a physician, I have noted before that the censorship of debate about covid policy in the social media actually made people more suspicious about the shots and policy increased people believing in what they said on fringe sites.

Now it turns out that the Biden administration was behind it. (and the Trump administration started it).

since when is it okay for the government to stifle experts with different opinions and claim disinformation instead of allowing an honest discussion of this?

The latest news (to anyone who doesn't read conspiracy theories) is that yes, it is true that reports of FBI/CIA etc snooping in on twitter is probably just the tip of the iceburg. Hmm... isn't there something about privacy in the bill of rights?

But of course, they are monitoring the social media for threats to the republic, 

Looking for dangerous Methodists I guess.
