Peak Non-Binary

is back with another episode of TGIF at The Free Press. I look forward to her column every Friday. She recaps the news quite well, along with plenty of links and humor. This week she mentioned the decline of non-binary designations:

Nonbinary identification is collapsing: The number of young people identifying as neither male nor female has fallen through the floor, which is crazy because I thought they were all born that way. An analysis of data from surveys by Brown University, Andover, and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) shows a massive drop-off among nonbinary students from the 2022–2023 peak. Maybe nonbinary was just another boarding school fad that has started to fade—pronouns are out, trust funds are back in (good thing polo shirts work for both vibes).

[Emphasis not in the original]

To me and most other people who don't cling to the corporate media, it was always clear that declaring oneself "non-binary" was a cheap-signalling fad fueled by social contagion and that it would eventually fade because it was not anchored to any reality in the physical or biological world. It will continue to fall the same way as bell-bottoms, pet rocks, disco music and the ice bucket challenge. I predict that "queerness" will soon follow suit.

No True Inert Placebos Were Used for Testing Most Childhood Vaccines. Why Not?

Industry allied experts claim that it would be unethical to test a vaccine against a true inert placebo like saline. Really? Del Bigtree explains that the Pharma-preferred tests (against already existing vaccines) are like testing the safety of whiskey by comparing it to the "placebo" of vodka.

But I keep coming back to the claim of "unethical." This makes no sense to me, no matter how many times I hear an industry insider make the claim. Aaron Siri explored this exact topic in his outstanding new book, Vaccines, Amen! Here's an excerpt from page 163:

Ethics of Using and Not Using a Placebo

In response to the lack of a placebo in some trials, the FDA and vaccinologists will assert that it is unethical to evaluate the safety of an unlicensed experimental vaccine in a placebo-controlled trial when there is already a licensed vaccine for the same disease.

This ethical concern, however, rings hollow because it ethics were a real concern, the FDA would require placebo-controlled trials before licensing new experimental vaccines at least where no licensed vaccine exists to prevent the same disease. For example, the very first vaccines for chickenpox or hepatitis A, both licensed in 1995, or HPV, licensed in 2006, could have easily included a placebo control group. No ethical issue with that. But as you now know, that is not what happened because that is not how the cult of vaccinology works.

Also, consider this: conducting a placebo-controlled trial will leave a clearly defined group of children unvaccinated only for the duration of the trial in a controlled setting where they can be monitored. In contrast, injecting a vaccine into millions of children in an uncontrolled setting without first assessing its safety in a placebo-controlled trial is, to any objective, reasonable observer, grossly unethical conduct."

Mike Benz Describes the Challenges of Dismantling Joe Biden’s Censorship-Industrial Complex

Because they cling to corporate media as their main source of “the news,” many of the most vocal people online don’t realize that the Biden Administration poured billions of tax dollars into censoring and propagandizing Americans. Nor do they know the details. This secret operation was so vast and so ghastly that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded:

[T]he Supreme Court has rarely been faced with a coordinated campaign of this magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life. Therefore, the district court was correct in its assessment—“unrelenting pressure” from certain government officials likely “had the intended result of suppressing millions of protected free speech postings by American citizens.” We see no error or abuse of discretion in that finding.

Who were the recipients of this tax money? Answer: Numerous government agencies, including DHS and USAID (and many others), who funneled the money out to dozens and dozens of NGO and non-profits with disarmingly patriotic names (e.g., Global Engagement Center and the National Science Foundation) who did the dirty work, often in close coordination with prestigious American universities. They worked in tandem with each other and with the CIA, which continued to make good use of all of its favorite Project Mockingbird techniques to convince you to be someone else. Many of the doubters don’t know CIA history. They don’t know that the CIA has topple dozens of governments Or they assume that the CIA used to be bad but they somehow got to be the good guys when after they displayed animus against Trump.

This censorship-industrial complex (also sometimes referred to as “the Blob”) has convinced you that you were well-informed and that you were thinking your own thoughts. They made sure you only heard one version of every story so that you voted only for the “correct” candidate. They were so good at their jobs that you believed that virus particles couldn’t pour through cloth masks. They made sure that you slurped up every government-approved position and that you deep-down hated those who disagreed with you, including your friends and family members.
