There is no rational basis to conclude that the COVID lockdown is morally legitimate. Trying to oppose the lockdown by presenting faulty arguments is not an effective way to help the CNN crowd to understand truth. However, many people on alt media note that SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated (that is true.. UPDATE AFTER THE VIDEO: I found evidence that it has been isolated... see the comments to DOGGO below) and then jump to the conclusion that it does not exist. This is an unwarranted assertion and the pro-lockdown people will tend to find fault with that claim and then ignore everything else you say.

I'll demonstrate to you how to sequence a target virus from a messy, contaminated sample that is mixed with other viruses, bacteria, and all manner of polluted gunk. In Part 2 (34:33 minutes in), I'll review some information to show you how DNA/RNA sequencing is performed and how my example relates to the function of modern sequencers and assembly programs ("assembly" here refers to finding overlapping fragments to form contigs, and overlapping contigs to form scaffolds, and eventually forming the entire genome of an organism).

The PCR test for COVID sucks (that test is different from the Illumina/Megahit sequencing of SARS-CoV-2), but there are naturalistic observations that allow researchers to associate COVID with collections of symptoms not associated with other diseases such as the common cold or flu. For example: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40164-020-00172-4. That shows a high risk of blood clots associated with COVID. For all the people who say that COVID is just the cold, you will have a hard time explaining that study.

I'll have to do a separate video to explain why Koch's postulates would be nice to fulfill, but are (or soon will be) obsolete. For starters, see https://www.nature.com/articles/nature08821. The researchers used the Ilumina sequencer to sequence all the bacteria in the gut of 124 Europeans. As a result, they were able to discern between healthy people, people with Crohn's disease, and people with ulcerative colitis by examining the complete genomes of their gut bacteria. At some point, we will have a complete, historical database of viruses found in humans, and will be able to conclusively identify new viruses that are associated with new diseases--even if we have not isolated the new virus!

There are plenty of other problems surrounding COVID... not testing for flu, in ability of the PCR test to discern between other illnesses, not being able to discern between possible mild strains of SARS-CoV-2 and possible serious strains, and the general planned panic.

Part of the drama related to Koch's postulates on alt media is that people do not understand statistical techniques of latent variable analysis such as factor analysis, principal components analysis, etc. These are methods of inferring the existence of something when we can observe only the effects of something rather than being able to hold the causal thing in our hands and look at it. In a similar way, astronomers were able to observe strange behavior in some stars and galaxies and inferred the existence of black holes without having a black hole in their hands to coddle. There are ways to study things without isolating them.

The people funding SJWs are destroying the United States and other countries, and we are going to do something about it. "We" means rational, civilized people who oppose censorship, the destruction of capitalism, reparations for slavery, and the other abuses of Social Justice Warriors.

It is time for action. One thing that we can do right now is agree on a single message that unites rational, civilized people against the people who are destroying civilization. We think we have that message, but this video is a call to enlist people to spread the word, recruit people, then dominate the narrative.

If you are on Bitchute, then you understand the situation--ACT NOW! Send an email to [email protected], or you can send me a private message and I'll help get you set up.

Governments around the world have gone overboard with their authoritarian controls related to the corona virus (SARS-CoV-2). This video shows how to identify a large category of false claims made by politicians. These claims take the form of assertions of fact about how people must act. The alleged explanations do not lead a rational conclusion that liberties must be destroyed.

The general approach here is to demand evidence and to look for the part of the evidence that can be measured accurately, objectively, and reliably. If evidence is not accurate, you can't be confident in the conclusion. If it is not objective, then it is just someone's personal preference, not a fact about the universe that dictates how I need to act. Ultimately, all the claims about why you need to stay indoors or close your business or keep 6 feet apart against your will is unwarranted assertions that have no evidentiary connection to the real, observable universe where we live.

This is a modified version of a prior video (the part with the music in the beginning was mostly cut).

I review the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Elsewhere they make a big deal about not being communists and how they like democracy. Those appear to be lies--or maybe DSA members lack the reasoning skills to understand the contradictions within their belief system.

I am highly skeptical of claims made by politicians because they have a long history of making false and unwarranted claims, and there is another way to find ways for people to get along with each other: lbry://@gr20tm#3/gr20tm006_Why_I_am_a_political_skeptic#2 https://www.bitchute.com/video/1QD8e4QNxcpv/

Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker "makes a case" for Enlightenment values, which form the basis of the original Progressivism movement. I show where he goes wrong so you can avoid the same error. The error is the one made by all Utilitarians and Consequentialists who meddle in government to "enhance human flourishing" or "increase the public good."

Anyone who finishes a year of grad school in any of the sciences should know better than to try to measure disparate things like freedom and physical health on the same scale. Any measurement derived from a mixture of those things is inherently subjective or arbitrary. Pinker thinks we can use science to measure "progress," but because he doesn't understand an important part of research methodology, he goes off the rails and endorses an irrational plan to use government to meddle in the lives of peaceful people.

The CEO of YouTube saying how they will remove content that contradicts the World Health Organization.

Stop watching youtube and funding them by generative advertising revenue for them. Use alternative platforms like Bitchute, Brighteon, LBRY, and D-tube.

If you must watch a youtube video, try hooktube.com by replacing "youtube.com" with "hooktube.com" ... it shows most youtube videos without showing their ads (you need to enable scripts and third-party cookies for that).

This video was posted by the people at LBRY (https://lbry.com) which is a blockchain-based network that has the potential to be more free than YouTube.

Liberty is based on the idea of equality of autonomy.

Equality of autonomy means that each peaceful person determines his or her own thoughts and behaviors without infringing on the autonomy of other peaceful people.

Real Peace requires Liberty. Sure, you can have slaves, abused housewives, bullied kids, robbery victims, and subservient citizens who obey their masters and accept their abuses without retaliation, but that is domination, not real peace.

Historically, Liberty has been TAKEN by those who obtained a position of POWER, not given by those who have dominated the weak.

This is a relatively easy to follow video review of specific journal articles and media propaganda to show exactly what researchers know about the virus, what kind of propaganda I found in the media, what we can rationally say about the origins of the virus, and exactly where to look to verify it for yourself. In my previous video, I showed you exactly how I compared the RNA sequences of SARS-CoV-2 and the RaTG13 bat virus to evaluate the claim that the Wuhan virus contains inserts from HIV. I hit the highlights here, and you can look in the other video if you want to download the sequences and verify it for yourself.

I make reference to two other videos:
1) the long, tedious review of the details in academic journal articles that describe SARS-CoV2: https://www.bitchute.com/video/oHFaBlzjAWjU/
2) a relatively easy to follow video that shows how I obtained the genetic sequences of two corona viruses to evaluate the claim that it contains segments spliced from HIV. This is easy enough to follow that you could get the data and do it for yourself: https://www.bitchute.com/video/UBdUJnDxxHbB/

I will show you the exact genetic sequences of two virus to examine the claim that the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) contains inserts that came from HIV.

This is part 1 of a long, technical video where I review some evidence from the mainstream media, then a bunch of academic journals to show you exactly what we know and don't know about SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan corona virus that causes COVID-19). You can then make up your own mind about it origins.

Some things that I will document in this video:
The U.S. worked with Wuhan in the past to bioengineer a deadly corona virus.
Deadly viruses have previously gotten out of laboratories.
The biggest change in the spike protein was an insertion of 6 nucleotides in the polybasic cleavage site.
Only a small number of nucleotides distinguish between human and bat versions of the virus.
The small number of difference mean that it is theoretically possible for the changes to happen naturally.
The functional effect of the 6 nucleotides is not known.

Theoretical “made in lab” processes include bioengineering, escape of virus that evolved naturally in a lab, and selective breeding of the virus in a lab.
We saw some examples of how many nucleotide changes might be needed to jump from animals to humans (the source article mentioned spreading among mammals, and maybe someone inferred that this would include the jump from non-human mammals to humans, which was not tested)
We saw some examples of how long it takes for mutations to happen under various conditions.

In the first part of the (full version of) this video, I showed examples of sloppy and misleading citations in journal articles (more in part 2).
We have a problem with the propaganda, regardless of what the correct answer to my original question.

"I own myself, therefore I own the product of my labor" is the beginning of a story used by some Anarchists and Libertarians to bootstrap their political philosophy. This does not mean that there aren't other ways to support claims made by Libertarians or Anarchists. The problems include:
1) "I own myself" is not real attribute of humans,
2) Application of ownership to one's self leads to more quandaries that contrast with other types of ownership (e.g., the voluntary nature of it),
3) Based on observation of human and nonhuman behavior, it seems that ownership is a social convention as opposed to a moral fact about the universe...
4) Even if you reject everything I said above, there is still a fatal flaw: There is a missing major premise of "All self-owned people own everything they make" and this is not supported by evidence. I compare that missing premise to the claim that "If someone offers you a high-five, you have to finish it!" I say this because both seem to be descriptions of social conventions that somebody WANTS TO BE TRUE but that are ultimately childish nonsense.

For more info on my philosophy, see https://www.bitchute.com/video/1QD8e4QNxcpv/

Some people make political claims that certain behaviors should be prohibited because they are "unnatural." There is a lack of an objective basis to identify what is or is not natural, so these claims are irrational. There might be some other basis to support an argument, but claims to force people to act in a certain way that rely on something being "natural" or "unnatural" are warrantless.

For an introduction into my political skepticism, see https://www.bitchute.com/video/1QD8e4QNxcpv/

I will show you a serious mistake that MOST people make when they make political claims. Even educated people fail to construct anything that even remotely has the structure of a rational argument when it comes to their most cherished political beliefs and the justifications for them.

Here is the problem: Political claims are claims about real people in the observable universe. Rational people recognize that conclusions reached in the absence of evidence are irrational, but for some reason they then proceed to construct grossly irrational arguments about society and politics with nearly complete disregard for the need for evidence and the type of scrutiny applied in other areas.

For an introduction into my political skepticism, see https://www.bitchute.com/video/1QD8e4QNxcpv/

Many people criticize the opposing party as being insensitive to the needs of people. You might be surprised to see what we find when we examine those claims carefully.

For an introduction to my videos, see the video called "GR20TM_006 Why I am a Political Skeptic." https://www.bitchute.com/video/1QD8e4QNxcpv/

This is a criticism of arguments made in support of universal healthcare/single payer healthcare/socialized medicine/medicare for all. I show how incomplete the arguments of The Young Turks are (they are SJWs on YouTube). The second part shows how Democrats in the U.S. use the political system for propaganda. I use negative arguments and the Golden Rule in my argument. See my first video (GR20TM_001 or the upcoming GR20TM_006 video) for details and explanations of what I am doing here.

I am a political skeptic. That means, like any rational human, I do not accept a conclusion about the observable universe unless I have evidence that warrants that conclusion. I am especially skeptical of the types of claims made by social justice warriors.

I lack a belief in unicorns because I have a lack of evidence that they exist. In the same way, I lack a belief in the claim that people have a (moral) right to free healthcare because I have a lack of evidence that such a right exists. I stick to a particular wording of the Golden Rule rather than taking money from people against their will.

Also, I have a lack of evidence that suggests that one person is on a higher moral plane than another person, so I am highly skeptical of people who claims that (or act as if) they are morally superior to me and therefore are justified in micro-managing my behavior and taking my money.

This video is mostly to provide some ideas for talking with social justice warriors so that they might be able to focus on the essential basis of dispute between you (assuming you are liberty-minded) and them. A better introduction for most views will be my GR20TM_006 video (I'll upload that in the next few days if I see that my uploads are visible on the main Bitchute page).

This is an introduction to a way to think rationally about political claims and how to express your skepticism of political claims to social justice warriors. The content is public domain. Do whatever you want with it.
