...it means you're creating a completely untestable, cannot be disproved theory, of why something is happening. It's not smart, it's rather stupid.

Why did Russia go to war with Ukraine? I dunno, but everybody with power got together and agreed that they should, so they did. Why did the 6 swing states all stop counting at 3 am and the GOP not do more about it? I dunno, but everybody with power got together and agreed that it should happen. Why did Epstein get killed? I dunno, but everybody with power got together and agreed that it should happen. Why all the talk about aliens, and why now? I dunno, but everybody in power got together and agreed that aliens is the next thing, before we switch over to Taylor Swift. Why does Elon Musk talk shit about Disney and Bill Gates? I dunno, but they must be faking it because they are powerful and they are reading from a script.

You see how stupid this sounds, and how you sound, if you believe that everything is rigged and that there is not competition among elites, even if they do agree on some things from time to time.

Make a model of reality with predictive power. Make a prediction based on your model, and let's see what happens. I disagree with Gzero on most of his predictions, but at least he's not trying to sound smarter than he actually is by saying it's all from a script.

Everyone posting here is so sure of themselves. There is very little intellectual humility. It's usually something like "It's all a LARP" and "They are reading from a script" or "Jew XYZ" the "Superbowl/election/stock market are all rigged" there will be a "cyber event/disease X scandemic/etc. in 2023" and the classic "XYZ is fake and gay" etc. etc.

Admit you were wrong about something, because if you were always as right as you think you are, you'd be rich and not posting on this fucking website, and we both know it. This is true even if you're batting .500.

I'll go first...I didn't think they would try vaccine mandates. Boy was I wrong on that.

Be really, really brave, I dare you.

If the Texas National Guard continues to put up barbed wire, following the lawful orders of Gov Abbot, the Biden administration will call them up, putting them under federal control.

This is what happened when Gov. Orville Faubus attempted to use the Arkansas national guard to prevent school integration after the Supreme Court's Brown vs. Board of Education decision.

Nobody is perfectly aligned with what you believe, except for you of course (provided your opinions don't change over time, which they invariably do).

I propose a thought experiment. Give me the perfect candidate for high office by mixing and matching historical figures and their abilities and opinions to create who you would want

Ever watch GI Joe and the creation of Serpentor? Same idea.

I'll start: Mix Pope Gregory the Great with the military acumen of Napoleon but the subdued ambition of G. Washington.

Given what they are willing to do, why aren't there more? Of course, there are still plenty of people that are disappeared, in China and Russia, in particular. And some edge cases, like Princess Diana, where we aren't sure it was an assassination or not.

Here are few proposals on why there aren't more in places like the USA and the Netherlands, excluding dictatorships or 3rd world countries. Please add more.

1. If you're in the public eye, it looks too suspicious.

2. Counter-blackmail.

3. Most people aren't worth killing. Character assassination is more effective at silencing people.

4. Fear of assassination and counter-assassinations spiraling out of control. This assumes there are multiple groups of competing elites.

Not that much of a conspiracy, per se, just an interesting fact that implicates the whole industry in corruption.

Full Transparency Is the Key to Stopping Drug Diversion in Healthcare Settings January 21, 2020 ‐ PSQH

By Russ Nix

Is drug diversion a problem in the healthcare setting where you work? Chances are the answer is yes—but you might not realize it yet.

Drug diversion costs the healthcare industry more than $70 billion per year, according to one estimate, and some researchers say as many as 10% of all medical professionals will divert drugs from their workplace at some point in their career. This means every adult patient in the United States has likely encountered a healthcare worker who has diverted drugs.

Outbreaks of healthcare-acquired infections that stem from employee drug diversion are becoming more common. Just last year, 12 patients who contracted hepatitis C in a Washington state hospital were linked to one nurse who diverted drugs, according to a CDC report. And it isn’t just patients who are affected. When two Dallas hospital nurses died of drug overdoses in 2017, hospital reports and medical examiner records suggested that the medications were diverted from within the hospital.

So why aren’t these types of incidents at the top of every healthcare leader’s radar?

One of the main reasons is a lack of transparency. We’re either unaware of the drug diversion happening under our noses—a 2017 Porter Research survey of healthcare workers reveals that many drug diversion incidents aren’t detected or reported—or we’re sweeping it under the rug, telling ourselves it isn’t a big problem.

Most healthcare organizations would benefit from better transparency—improving the visibility of medications as they move to their intended destination, and gaining a clearer understanding of the who, what, and why around diversion. The more transparency we have, the more successful we’ll be in stopping diversion and keeping patients safe.

Data transparency

Much of the discussion around transparency centers on data, and with good reason. Physicians need to know when a patient gets only half of her prescribed pain medications, or why the clinical supervisor has ordered certain drugs. Hiring managers, meanwhile, need to know the full employment history of the clinicians and technicians they hire—and be alerted to any discrepancies or red flags in a person’s career that could suggest a history of drug abuse.

With better data transparency practices, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers can see the movement of controlled substances like morphine or fentanyl to their intended destination.

More visibility into patient data also allows us to recognize patterns of behavior that are associated with diversion. For example, advanced analytics software can help sift through disparate sources of data—medical records, inventory, confidential reporting, automated dispensing cabinet data, etc.—to unearth trends or patterns associated with drug diversion. From there, we can take the appropriate actions to ensure patient and employee safety.

Beyond the data

As the Porter survey noted, more than one out of five (22%) of providers’ healthcare facilities lack an established diversion prevention program, inclusive of education and training initiatives. Most healthcare organizations ask workers to report anything suspicious that they “see.” But while the intentions are good, this approach is limited—and subjective. Not every healthcare worker who diverts drugs does so for personal use. Also, with self-reporting, there’s a risk of unconscious biases: Without proper education on what behaviors are associated with diversion, healthcare workers may have preconceived ideas of who diverts or uses drugs.

Better education and training go hand in hand with transparency. It starts when healthcare workers are hired via a thorough vetting process that looks deeply into employment history and out-of-state job records. Education—which should be mandatory—should be formalized with programs led by drug diversion experts or other stakeholders. Healthcare organizations should also consider developing comprehensive educational programs based on the best practices of institutions that have learned from their flaws.

Human resource policies may also need to be shaped around these best practices. Most importantly, policies should clearly explain the physical and behavioral signs of drug diversion and the safest way to report diversion to a clinical supervisor. Simultaneously, healthcare organizations should familiarize themselves with online reporting tools and federal and state legislative and/or licensing bodies, so they know exactly what to do when they detect a problem.

While increasing data transparency by leveraging new technologies, improving education, and boosting on-the-job training is not a silver bullet, it is a step toward increasing awareness. A comprehensive effort to improve transparency can help an organization get ahead and stay ahead of drug diversion, avoiding financial, compliance, and safety issues.

For centuries the rich bequeathed their wealth to the Catholic Church. Being childless and done without pay, the work of the priests, monks, and nuns enriched the monastic orders greatly over time, even with the hospitals, orphanages and charities they ran.

Here's where things are difficult to hear for my Protestant brothers in Christ. But....

The Reformation wasn't wasn't really about theology except for the rubes they fooled for popular support. It was a looting operation of the Church, which was richer than kings, by the nobles and Jews who used theology as justification.

This looting operation happened in England, when Henry the VIII took all the church land and gave it to his most loyal supporters, but as he lay on his deathbed sick from syphilis, he had a Roman Catholic priest give him last rites. Ever wonder why "Downton Abby" has no nuns in it? Because the ancestors of the upper crust took it from the Catholic Church.

Likewise, do you know why so many of middling class supported the radical French Revolutionaries? Because, they got fantastically wealth on seized church property.
Only Napoleon, a dictator, could be the one to restore the Church, which is what he did. But to this day, all Church property is owned by the French government.

I'm sorry if this bothers well meaning Protestants. Nor does discount the problems the Catholic Church had, and has, which are numerous.

But your Protestant origin story isn't one of a noble theological disagreement...no that could have been solved by a Council. The elites, many of them Jews, got out their knives and forks to have a hearty feast. And once they enriched themselves with church lands, they used their theology to justify the theft.

From St. John's 2nd letter he says:

"For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist."

Such "mini" antichrists who deny Christ and practice deceit are the likes of Justin Trudeau, or Gavin Newsome, or Ben Shapiro. I am sure you could name more historically.

Eventually, we'll get the big antichrist as per Revelation. But the word "anti" means against, so anyone who works against Christ, and uses deceit and seduction is an antichrist.
