LET US COMMUNE TOGETHER, COMRADE? The last update on guidelines to the cleanliness is next godliness faith community in pandemic from the CDC was on February 21, 2021, but on April 6, they finally determined what should have been obvious: there is a one in 10,000 chance of fomite infection, or indirect infection caused by contact with contaminated surfaces. And on April 21st, since the word had not been handed down to faith leaders, we submitted a FOIA, with a strongly worded recommendation, to tell the faith leaders who were still under guidance to avoid sharing faith articles like Bibles and hymnals, passing collection plates and partaking in Holy Communion, or celebration of the Eucharist at Mass. Arlington, Virginia, by credentials, is one of the most educated municipalities in the entire nation, ranked 14th in holders of graduate degrees and boasting more government scientists than any place in the entire United States, but, when 28 of 1,000 corporate scholarships were awarded by the National Merit Scholarship Foundation in April, there were 28 from Fairfax County and not even one from Arlington, because, even with the chances of being awarded doubled, because only half of the normal 1.5 million sophomores sat for the PSAT, our government scientists couldn't figure out how to put sophomores in a room during a pandemic to take the test, a pandemic where the fatality risk for children was minimal and where, even in China, over 80% of those infected exhibited only slight to moderate symptoms, with an undetermined number exhibiting only asymptomatic signs of infection, like coughing or sneezing with a validated less than five percent infectious pathogen. They even have a hashtag: #ArlingtonReads Yet, it was the strongly opposed to faith and very secularists progressives who had pushed for warning labels on cigarettes, food and medicine, and those same progressives in a social justice who had pushed for changing names of schools, deemed to be offensive to certain persons, an even larger priority, apparently, than fixing the achievement gap inside that adversely affected those persons with hurt feelings. But, if your total knowledge of any topic is just a hashtag, and you need the CDC to hire a cartoonist to explain where the entrances to your upper respiratory tract are located in an upper respiratory tract infection public health crisis, and where those government scientists actually expect that audience to find the website to instruct them, it is not surprising to find half of the residents having been vaccinated with what on all evidence is not only an experimental treatment proposed to address a biological weapon of terror, or to find as many as ten percent failing to show up for their second dose, probably assuming they knew the science and thought they had signed up for the 66% efficacious at producing an immune response one shot product, and not the 90% efficacious elixir that required a booster. So, imagine the attorney selection criteria for those scientists seeking immunity for themselves.

IN DEDUCTIVE META-ANALYSIS, EVEN A MUTANT VARIANT OF A LESS THAN FIVE PERCENT PATHOGEN CAN BE THAT EXCEPTION TO THE RULE THAT CHANGES THE WORLD Were I a person of color, I'd be very concerned in the current pandemic that, using the science, persons in big government have changed the rules on presumption of innocence, to declare that the simple presumption of infection may present a legitimate state interest to restrict your liberty, without being perceived as an undue burden, while recognizing under the law that any health regulation to restrict your ability to abort your child does impose an undue burden. Were I a person of color, I'd be very concerned that using a general observation regarding a pandemic presentation of a pathogen, validated by empirical analysis to be less than five percent infectious, four times too low to be validated as even a communicable disease being transmitted from person to person and 12 times too low, in statistical significance to be a causative agent for a super spreader event, in the Old Dominion State, without challenge, even what amounts to prejudgement on the path of a public health threat that had not even arrived, has permitted the declaration of a communicable disease of public health threat to be held as valid, even though that pathogen had not been present in any affected area within the Commonwealth, as required by the codified law. According to research surveys, which nobody reads any more than science in a pandemic that has been attributed to over a half million fatalities, it has been observed that the American people are divided by partisan platitudes of piety, and, in a devotional worship, daily on social media platforms, repair to these temples of truth, transforming our politics into the new age secular equivalent of our gods, religion and opiate of the masses, regardless of your age, education or color, and church and school are closed.

A PERISCOPE SUFFERS A LOSS OF DEPTH PERCEPTION For a week, although slightly shorter in duration than the events aboard the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, when the San Francisco Chronicle joined progressive news partners like the Washington Post, in an ensemble cast of commentators that even included the World Socialist, to tug upon our heartstrings to cheer for a naval commander offloading 2,000 sailors, alleged to be infected with a highly contagious and lethal disease to luxury private hotel rooms on a territorial island of poor, old, little brown people, the sinking of the Indonesian submarine, its loss of 53 sailors, and the lately released video of them singing farewell may have altered your perspective of these events, especially if you lacked the historical expertise to miss the obvious similarities in the Guam story to the Sinking of the Maine. So, for a moment, hop out from your ideological news silo and look at another perspective on these events.

IF A BOOKIE WOULDN'T LAY ODDS ON YOUR WINNING, WHY WOULD A RATIONAL MAN EVEN TRY WITH NOTHING ELSE TO LOSE? Less than five percent infectious pathogens, prior to evolving science, are not likely to become pandemics. A most abundant biological particle in the world that had, prior to a novel coronavirus, only produced a total of 220 harmful to mankind is not reasonably to be expected to produce a lethal pandemic to find a President hoping to achieve 80% compliance to reach "herd immunity", which actually only might help those who had some scientifically validated reason to actually prevent an infection, while those outside that biological immunity transaction might enjoy a herd effect, because the pathogen would have been presumed to have run out of sufficient fuel, generally, to reduce the PROBABILITY that an outbreak might recur--so you see not all probability calculations have been discarded. There has not been a Republican elected to APS Board since 2003, and no person without a party has ever served in any elected position in Arlington; so, the likelihood that I might actually have to consider changing my biweekly schedule to make room for meetings is practically, for all intents and purposes, zero. So, if I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain in a school board race, and since I am retired and am actually the kind of guy who actually volunteered for the infantry to go to a war that even CNN said at the time we were going to get our noses bloodied, what the hell, right? Or maybe I am a little less risk averse than half of Americans who got vaccinated against a less than five percent infectious pathogen and closed my less than three percent infectious faith because of a coronavirus, measured in nanoparticle units, but bigger than God.

JUST 45 YEARS AGO, EVEN JIMMY CARTER ASKED WHY NOT THE BEST AND JUST 45 YEARS AGO THE QUESTION WAS WHY NOT DIVEST? The rising tide raises all ships, but some say if you can't raise the bridge, lower the water, and with the 1,000 National Merit Scholarship Corporate Awards announcements, an Arlington that boasts in hashtag that Arlington Reads, it was in was not on the list of 28 Virginia municipalities that could boast of having a National Merit Scholarship Corporate Award winner, but in 2021, Fairfax County Public Schools could boast of 13, and this year the competition was actually easier because COVID-19 prevented almost half from even taking the test. And, even though over half of the 8.4 million residents of Virginia, 4.2 million exercised their duty to vote in a pandemic with a nanoparticle pathogen bigger than God that could close their churches, businesses and schools, it is a fact that every year only about 1.5 million sophomores from only 21,000 high schools even take the PSAT/NMSQT to qualify for those renewable for four years scholarship grants, which may include a stipend. Further, in Virginia, if you are just named as a finalist, and fail to receive the Scholarship, you could be qualified for the Presidential Scholarship at VCU. But to win it, ya gotta be in it. A smaller category, the National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous or Rural & Small Town Recognition Program will provide not just an announcement to add to resume fodder, but also, on application, will open the door at some colleges, including the University of Alabama, a four year scholarship, with an annual stipend of about a thousand dollars, and a special rate on first year housing. And, Arlington Democrats vying for transparency on the achievement gap, in light of the failures in the National Merit Scholarship Corporate awards may find themselves even more embarrassed about speculating on how many of the plurality children of color school system, over 26% Latino, even gained a score to qualify for that commendation, the number of which I can't even recall that were awarded to sophomores at my "inner city" high school, on what Arlington County Board Member Matt de Ferranti, of McClean, would describe, pretty accurately, as the "mean streets," the name of the movie that earned the father of my primary school "girlfriend" to a league bigger than our small, private elite grammar school. And, tragically, just a few years ago, the focus of the school board was equitable access to restroom and locker facilities, while they performed cosmetic repairs to schools that might better produce cosmetology school drop outs than students to boast that the went TO college at a 23% four year graduation HBCU, while actually removing the words "high standards" from the mission statement, because according, surprisingly, to the DoD employee Chairman Reid Goldstein, mission statements are just creative writing exercises, and they don't need to say "high standards" because they are already doing it.

A SCIENTISTS TESTS THE HYPOTHESIS Ralph Northam is the nation's only physician serving as a state governor, and, in a diagnostic intake assessment, a physician reviews the patient's self-report of asymptomatic signs and symptomatic indications of illness, performs tests and offers a diagnostic conclusion. As a former army surgeon, he has stated that he is aware of biological warfare, and has often described his COVID-19 response as fighting a biological war. However, in March 2020, Governor Northam had at his disposal, under the law, the opportunity to choose whether COVID-19 was a biological weapon of terror or a communicable disease, and knew, or should have known, that biological warfare has historically been conducted surreptitiously, requiring an initial inquiry, engaging a scientific method, to validate or invalidate the conclusion that COVID-19 was a biological weapon of terror, and, of record, that never occurred.

THAT LOOK WHEN YOU DISCOVER IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT THE KIDS IN THE COOL CLIQUE WERE ONLY TOLERATING YOU There are quite a few 1980s high school John Cameron type coming of age films on this topic, you may have heard it in the Billie Holliday song, or discovered this morsel in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and so discerning the distinction between the herd immunity for which you hope to achieve with a vaccine and the actual herd effect that you enjoy if not vaccinated or having been already infected by a normal pathogen--note that this is not applicable if your pathogen is actually a biological agent being deployed, by function of the larger proportions to which you will be exposed. Have you ever been that unpopular kid in high school, who suddenly got a cheerleader girlfriend the day, like in a movie, you surprised everyone, caught the football and scored the winning touchdown? Imagine that you have all of the right connections, attended all of the right schools and have daddy's money to burn, and actually get accepted to an Ivy League college, and are taking that Organic Chemistry final exam for which you failed to do the homework, which stands between you and graduation as a pre med student to go off to a top 10 medical school and become rich and famous like Dr. Fauci. You may have enjoyed some level of herd immunity by hanging out with the right crowd and doing the right things to continue your success, but if you are relying on the herd effect, faking it until you make it, you may, one day, wake up surprised, finding a herd effect presenting a fatal defect.

WHY MAJOR IN BIOLOGY? If you thought, working as a legal staffing specialist, temporary staff attorney, or senior paralegal, that your law degree was worthless, even if your mom can beam proudly saying, "My son, the attorney," what do you think is the baccalaureate degree that finds the highest level of underemployment, or graduates working far below their education? You may be thinking philosophy, or even one of those drama majors serving you drinks at the bar or waiting on your table at a restaurant, but, it's actually a "STEM" major that finds over 60% of females in the college major, accounting for 12% of associate degrees, and 6% of bachelors degrees, amongst the top in awarding doctorate degrees, but only finding about two percent going on to graduate study. By statistics, that crazy person in your class trying to figure out there problems through self study in psychology probably should have done some due diligence homework, because graduates in that major find a 39% underemployment rate, the highest of any major, followed closely by biology majors at 35%. Yet, when the Virginia Department of Health offer 1,300 positions as front line, day one critical task in a pandemic trace contact follow up specialists, a job performed by 1,800 teams of at least five epidemiologists in China at the beginning of the outbreak, a total of over 6,000 resumes were accepted, of whom Mohammed Norman Oliver, a graduate of a college that requires no college entrance exam, could only find a total of 168 to take jobs earning up to $75,000, about $12,000 more than an entry level biology major job, and you didn't even need a degree to do the job, according to the specifications, just preferably have some familiar with some medical terms, but, a priori, a bubbly personality with some multicultural background. So, now it is likely that, as an adult who voted thumbs up for "science" and "making a plan", despite requiring a cartoon to inform you where the entrance to your upper respiratory tract was located, have volunteered to be a pin cushion guinea pig for experimental modified RNA treatments to trigger an immune response at the interferon level, another experimental therapy, to prevent infection from a less than five percent infectious pathogen that WHO told you at the beginning was not a communicable disease, and for which your vaccine was made possible through legislative provisions that told you that COVID-19 was an effect of being a victim of a biological weapon attack. And, now, you have been told that the scientists that now enjoy their highest approval ratings in years, want you to come back for another shot, because, even though they promised a two year guarantee to FDA, even their three stage clinical trials could only promise a hope that the experiment might work for two months, notwithstanding what the Navy knew about sailors being reinfected in Guam in under two months. Or maybe you are an atheist praying for the end of the pandemic, or an anti vaccine person, pinning hopes on "herd immunity", unaware that if you have no antibodies to prevent any type of infection, in herd immunity you only enjoy the reduced probability of being infected through a herd effect. But, don't despair because even all that science knows, and continues to debate about viruses, they only discovered in the past two decades, and, even though, in science, we know that from nothing a big bang created the universe, and life began in the seas, finding tiny living cells evolving into more complex creatures that became amphibians and reptiles, crawling up on to the lands, which eventually advanced into birds and mammals, would you believe that science still has no idea how, in this evolutionary theory, the most abundant biological particles in the world, viruses, came into origin? And we have a pandemic with a coronavirus, the largest family of viruses, and the largest in mass, but have no idea how those particles ever evolved, but can spin a tale about zoonotic evolution that you and your understanding of science accept on faith as gospel. And, over a half million Americans are dead. Alrighty then.

"'YO, DAWG! I AM WAITING FOR HERD IMMUNITY!" Who has heard that line from a person who has decided not to get vaccinated? Waiting for herd immunity? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Rule Number One: if you don't know the science in a pandemic, the last thing that you should be doing is trying to impress anyone by using science terms that you do not understand, because a scientist will not tell you, but certainly joke all about you amongst his egghead friends. Like the "asymptomatic infection" they used to convince you that you were radiating virus particles and accidentally killing folks--there is a difference to a scientist between an asymptomatic sign like sneezing, and a symptomatic presentation, like a fever, something that cannot be observed but must be uncovered through testing--in the popular press, and, daresay, even in some of the science literature of late, folks are doling out "herd immunity" like cough drops, but using the term incorrectly. Herd immunity is achieving a sufficient level of either vaccinations or exposure through prior infection so as to reduce or mitigate the probability of a future outbreak, which the CDC defines as two cases in the came location. Herd immunity is simply saying that the cluster outbreaks, statistically, have run out of fuel, but they are not saying that the person who is not vaccinated or who has not had a prior infection, is now immune from the virus. That unvaccinated person or person without a history of infection simply enjoys the herd effect of a reduced probability of being in a cluster outbreak. Think about the science. You have no antibodies and no developed immune response. You can and will get the sickness if you are exposed, and this is a general rule applicable to any infectious disease. So, stop sounding stupid to a scientist, even if your friends believe that you are spouting wisdom. Birds of a feather flock together. It's like a science. One novel and unanswered question in science is whether the chicken coronavirus that was discovered in 1932 and which was similar to the first human coronavirus found in the cocktail mixture of pathogens that comprise the common cold was a zoonotic evolution or if it was a reverse zoonosis where, in a closed system, finding humans and chickens exposed to one another for extended periods, may have transferred that marginal coinfection element from our common cold to the chickens who may require a lower infectious dose before developing chicken bronchitis. This closed system analysis forms the basis of studying emerging mosquito borne illnesses, finding a repeated exposure and interchange of biological and genetic materials over an extended period presenting a higher probability for a mutant strain to develop and take hold, rather than having some randomly occurring virus strain first developing and then by serendipity finding a human host to continue the evolution of the virus into a zoonotic evolution. What came first> The chicken coronavirus or the human similar variant?

HOW MANY OF THE HALF OF AMERICAN ADULTS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN VACCINATED, USING THE SCIENCE, ACTUALLY KNOW ALL OF THIS? Today, Patch announced that a few high schools in Alexandria had National Merit Scholar Winners, including the private and elite Episcopal High School, which always sends a few kids to my alma mater, Washington & Lee University, the most competitive college in Virginia, but Arlington, which boasts of being the best public high school system in the Commonwealth, which hasn't sent a kid to my alma mater in over a decade, had a big zero in National Merit Scholar Winners. My high school could count on at least finding three National Merit Scholarship Winners, and like we say, close only counts in horseshoes and global thermonuclear war, and I am running for Arlington Public School Board, with about a zero chance of winning, against two candidates who could not get into my college, and who have absolutely no experience with pandemics, epidemiology or virology, while I was the most junior commissioned officer to have ever served as the operations officer for all U.S. Army strategic counterintelligence, and played a critical staff role in establishing the intelligence organization that George Stephanopoulos reported on ABC News was supposed to have alerted the President in November 2019 about an emerging public health threat in China, and scolded Donald Trump for not listening to intelligence. This places me in an interesting position where now those same folks who were chastising Donald Trump for not listening to the intelligence from something I helped to create who refuse to listen to me because I voted for Donald Trump, and they don't know how a disease suddenly became political.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE (D) TALES It was the publisher of the Washington Post who first said that the job of the press is to write the first rough draft of history, a phrase often repeated since, but, if you ever did graduate work, you know that a newspaper article is not exactly a primary source. It is like the Cliff Notes for that Shakespeare play you were supposed to actually read in high school. But try reading a legal brief by Mark Herring in any litigation on the lockdown: news article after news article and not one iota of science, representing the nation's only physician serving as a state governor, as if he did not know that not just Geraldo Rivera sometimes, maybe most times, gets the story wrong. We are over one year into a pandemic pathogen, and even scientists do not know the infectious dose, a priority metric scientists have been determining early since the 1870s, and you need that to determine if a pathogen is "highly contagious" or to develop a vaccine that will prevent you from being infected.

IT IS A NO BRAINER, IF YA THINK ABOUT IT I know practically everything about COVID-19, and you don't, and, if you ain't smart enough to extrapolate from those simple facts, maybe you need to die of COVID-19. Ain't like we're related.

A POLITICIAN WHO ALWAYS ASKS FOR DONATIONS TELLS A PREACHER TO STOP TAKING UP COLLECTIONS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND SCIENCE? First observation, derived from the discipline of economics: in pandemic, for many, discretionary income, that quantum of financial resources above that which is required for subsistence, has been reduced. Politicians know this, but the operative definition of a politician is to get on a ballot, ask for votes and ask for money. A person of faith now has reduced discretionary income, may not even be coming to worship in person, and, if he or she does, the pastor is not taking up a collection, but he or she is guaranteed to get an email from their favorite politician to remind them of a critical and approaching deadline to meet his or her target for the quarter. Test: who is gonna collect that discretionary income? Second observation: The overwhelming majority of my adult life was spent as an atheist, in part, because, by nature, I tend to be more analytical, and focus upon evidence-based decisions, and have a lot of math nerd and science geek acquaintances. In intelligence, we have a term, "need to know", and, if you are a Bible thumping believer, you need to know in a pandemic that the scientists telling you to jump through hoops, as an operative guiding rule, proceed from the basic presumption that you are woefully ignorant, and will resist that predisposition even in the face of clear and convincing evidence, just based upon your acceptance of faith. And, most math and science types enjoy collecting evidence to validate their conclusions, and you closed your church to avoid death from a less than five percent infectious pathogen, and then chose, voluntarily, to refrain from collecting offerings. Third observation: Growing up in the black church, we had an offertory plea that said to give not of necessity, nor grudgingly, but as the Spirit of God moves in your heart, so let every man give. And, on one of my last visits to Harlem, while waiting in the lobby to visit the pastor at Abyssinian Baptist Church, I happened to spot what appeared to be an ATM machine. Now, most folks arriving at church, especially black church, tend to be rushed and often late; and if you actually believe they are gonna stop at the ATM in church to have money for the offering, you ain't really black. And, I was waiting to see the pastor for such a long time, watching folks just walk by the ATM machine, I decided to think about hitting brunch, and decided to make a withdrawal, when I discovered that the machine was actually a deposit box to permit folks to give money to the church, as the Spirit of God moved in their hearts. And, if you believe that church folks, heading out of church and passing an ATM machine, while they are more concerned about not being late for their brunch reservation, or missing the ball game, you obviously don't know that church folks are a mess.

THE *HOLE* IS NEVER GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ALL ITS PARTS, EVEN IF THE PILE IS HIGH AND DEEP Implied warranties, while not technically applicable in this argument, provides a wonderful frame upon which to build this argument, like the thematic concept in The Taking of Pelham 123, and sets up a question that, after Stephanopoulos tagged the Sec Def to confirm or deny covert surveillance on China on national television, and then dared to boast about it, presents an expertly poised and clever inquiry under FOIA to the President, cannot be said to be in any way out of line It is an offer he can't refuse: issue a Glomar statement that he can neither confirm nor deny that the infectious dose and secondary attack rate is classified, which raises questions, because he cannot classify that information unless we own COVID-19, or he can deny that these metrics are classified, which raises questions as to why they are being treated like they are classified.

HOW DO YOU PLAN FOR A SURPRISE ATTACK? If you watched the last video, you may have noticed that I made an editorial choice not to use the word "train", in preference for LOCO motive, and there is someone working in a large New York law firm asking his partner if he should get LOCO counsel to draft the Pro Hac Vice motion who got that, or someone with minimal bilingual abilities. What? Like LTC Slade in Scent of a Woman, "I been around, ya know?" And, in a former life, believe it or not, one of my other duties, as assigned, as the most junior commissioned officer to have ever served as the operations officer for U.S. Army strategic counterintelligence in an echelon above corps intelligence activity was what can only be fairly described as "biological warfare planner," trying to be proactive and consider the potential contingencies that may arise in the event of an attack by a biological weapon of terror. And, if, as we know, even if by simply reading the article on biological warfare in the Encyclopedia Britannica, or even the entry in the Guinness Book of World Records, biological warfare is not only the oldest known weapon of mass destruction, but also has doctrinally always been deployed surreptitiously, a person with that type of knowledge and expertise would provide value added in any discussion regarding the emergence of what may only appear to be an infectious disease, right? Makes sense, right? Ask the guy who has run through the contingencies as his job, but, of record, even when I went to court to try to offer some advice and assistance to the nation's only physician serving as a state governor, he not only refused that "intel", but decided to adopt the peculiar defense strategy of evading the service of a summons by the sheriff and the United States Marshal, which is two felony counts, a pattern of racketeering activity under the RICO Act and a prima facie case of conspiracy to violate civil rights, which is like a HYUGE blown signal flag that was put in place to stop the LOCO motive from continuing on its path of havoc, destruction and death. Or am I thinking too much into that?

"ENGINE, ENGINE, NUMBER NINE, GOING DOWN CHICAGO LINE. . ." First test: finish the childhood rhyme. "If the train falls off the track. . ." What is that statement grammatically? It's a conditional phrase. It sets up a precondition, and then opens a menu of options: "N O spells 'No'; and, out you do go" or "Y-E-S spells 'yes'; and out you do go." Regardless, somebody goes out, and, even though it seems continue a random selection, if you say "yes," the tenth guy is going out, but if you say "no", the eighth guy is departing the game. Same thing with the seeming random, in the mind of a child, "eenie meany minee mo", the sixteenth dude is leaving the game. It is not random, at all. But, at least with Engine Engine Number Nine, in the schoolyard, you are introduced to a concept that you will actually spend money, and perform course work to learn in a Six Sigma course: contingency planning, and setting up a decision tree. But, again, in the mind of a child, all of this is lost in obfuscation, and, engaged in childhood play, perhaps it is harmless to continue living on Fantasy Island, believing in a random determination, and, as you see, that suspended disbelief, or simple ignorance, opens a world of new possibilities, just like in magic. Does it work in real life? Have you ever heard about a mother who suddenly found the strength to lift a large object to save a child? Even in jump school, in the army, where we truly believe in mind over matter, at least to the extent that if you don't mind, it doesn't matter, we teach young airborne trainees, just before they land to gaze at the horizon. Why? If you look down, you will reach for the ground, tense up, and probably injure yourself. How about a religious example, since I gotta plug the Book. Peter was sitting in a fishing boat, sees his Lord and when he is called to go out on the water, what does he do? He jumps out a boat and starts walking on water, but then what happened? He paused to think, remembered the science, and begin to sink beneath the waves. Yes. A fisherman who didn't know how to swim. Imagine that one, and he was the rock upon which the church was built. How about a science example? There has to be a Marxist who has read Berthold Brecht. Remember the Little Monk who gave up on science because he was concerned about his parents, but thought that Galileo was the solid rock upon which science was built, but who recanted all that he knew before the Inquisition, without even taken one beating? What happened? Galileo was old, and knew the science.

WHO IS TO BLAME FOR PANDEMIC? Yesterday, Ralph Northam was talking about launching an investigation into the pepper spray incident involving Lieutenant Caron Nazario and Officer Joe Gutierrez, technically two officers who share Latino descent, raising some questions. And today, he is joined by Mark Herring, but, both, since April last year have been evading service of a summons in a case brought by a retired U.S. Army field grade officer, constituting a conspiracy to violate civil rights, the same charge brought against the slayers of Emmett Till, as well as the slayers of John Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, the Freedom Riders killed and buried by the Klan in Meridien, Mississippi. The use of the Defense Production Act and the Emergency Use Authorization procedure, as well as every large sample size tracer contacts study, for those who actually understand epidemiology, says that COVID-19 is not an infectious disease, but can only be a biological weapon of terror being deployed, but not even one Republican running for governor brought a case to court, even complained about the ultra vires declaration of a communicable disease of public health threat one month too early, which would have invalidated every single piece of the COVID-19 response Amanda Chase has spent a year whining about in the pandemic that Pete Snyder and Glen Youngkin have chosen to simply ignore. An old song says, "let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." Maybe the responsible party is not your neighor.

CALL IT PROFESSIONAL PRIDE, BUT BLOWING OFF INTEL IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA I expect a few comments about music or shaky video, or whatever, and if that is your concern in a pandemic, no wonder we have over a half million dead Americans and over ten thousand in Virginia. When Washington Post is doing articles about making fashion statements with your facial covering that even it's article about the science regarding their efficacy found a scientists saying essentially, "you know this crap doesn't work, right?" there is not just a communications problem but a priorities problem in a toxic command environment. I understand the position of Terry McAuliffe on COVID-19, and all of the other Democrats pretending they are going to be the next governor. Pandemic has worked very well for them, and staying the course is actually pretty smart politics. But if the Republican Party of Virginia candidates like Pete Snyder believe they are going to do anything with the economy while ignoring the scientific realities of the pandemic, I can tell you that that plan will fail, just like Amanda Chase's plan to just repeal the executive orders that she did not file one case against in over a year. There is a reality that you cannot deny, and if even political survival is not a sufficient self preservation motivation, you can join the dinosaurs. I've heard some pretty stupid things in the Republican Party about praying to catch the wave of disaffected voters pushing back that did not even motivate many to fight for their own businesses and churches when the doors were closed, but it obviously gets the crowds cheering and donors emptying the pockets. And, maybe that is all that voters expect from politics.

REMEMBER THE MOVIE WHERE THE JEWEL THEIVES CONTINUED TO TRIP THE ALARM UNTIL SECURITY GOT TIRED? A basic math axiom that you learned in freshman algebra: the whole is equal to the sum of all of its parts, synergistic fantasies notwithstanding. Gobbledygook in yields gobbledygook out. If you begin with crap, you get crap. No alchemy. The Emergency Use Authorization Test only required pharmaceutical companies, i.e. Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson to essentially develop a vaccine that created an alarm system that would work for at least two months. That is the wording in the contract, and when they say that the vaccine is anywhere between 66% and 95% efficacious, in your head you may be thinking that the SEALs arrive and shoot OBL in the eye, but the reality, or the standard for the test was that the alarm would go off to tell your body that COVID-19 was about to set it off, and hopefully your immune system will buckle down. One bit of information that they were lacking was the infectious dose. Think of the Abbottabad Raid. Two teams of SEALS, equipped with a dollhouse to identify the only security compound in a crappy neighborhood, but with no idea how many terrorists are inside or even if there were subterranean structures to permit reinforcements from the military academy only a mile away, or a stealthy escape. You might say to yourself, but we actually captured OBL, but remember, as even reported in The New Yorker, we crashed a freaking helicopter that had to have made a lot of noise, and, under the precedent established in the Eichmann case if the country that provided you an extradition agreement does not object when spec ops types come in and take you away, you cannot argue defective extradition at your crimes against humanity trial.

IF A YEAR INTO PANDEMIC YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH BASIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW TERMS, ON ALL EVIDENCE, YOU LACK INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES Blowing off science in a pandemic? Had somebody requested my approval for the NIOSH study on nonmedical grade PPE, testing with the same equipment used to rate the N95, I would have refused. Had anyone told me that we'd be begging, just for the sake of avoiding the appearance of woeful ignorance, CDC to explain to our highly educated and enlightened voters where the entrances of their upper respiratory tract were by using cartoons, I'd have said, you have to be kidding. Had anyone told me, I would need a joint task force with multiple law enforcement agencies to perfect service of process of a summons, a simple task a girl scout could perform, but which had all of our bad ass, love my guns, lovers of liberty running for the line at the ladies room, I would have been asking Alan Funt to come out now, because it had gone beyond funny, in a Kafkaesque sense.

THE CELEBRATED FRAUD OF CORONAVIRUS COUNTY Why Sidney Powell and other attorneys contesting the results of the 2020 election insisted on getting tangled in the wait-a-minute vines of election fraud, or individual ballots folks like Amanda Chase swore were fraudulent but couldn't prove in any court, is between them and their "god", but the most obvious offense during the 2020 elections, played out day-by-day in press coverage was the electoral fraud arising from representations regarding a novel coronavirus. But, considering the fact that at least 15 law firms in the Commonwealth of Virginia totally missed the State Health Director declaring a communicable disease of public health one month before he was permitted under the law, let's just say, when they were handing out brains in heaven, many thought they were saying trains, and missed theirs. So, if you are experiencing cognitive dissonance attempting to comprehend a less than five percent infectious single strand of RNA that has closed your church, school and business, with greater efficiency and effectiveness than your less than three percent infectious faith, this video on vaccinations and the Emergency Use Authorization, topics regarding intellectual property law, may be way above your comprehension level.

WHY HELL SUN! NO, I'M AXING! First of all, despite the colorful picture in the Facebook wallpaper for State Attorney General Mark Herring, where it seems like everyone except him is black, in all of my dealings with the office of the State Attorney General, the only black face, or face of color, for that matter, I ever encountered was the guard sitting behind the security desk window at the door to the old Richmond hotel, and former Byrd Machine headquarters, where the Office of the Attorney General is now located, and named for somebody black in history, of course. Come to think of it, I didn't see anyone of color even enter when I was down inside that building all day. But, the first time I ever encountered Bob McEntee, he had been compelled to make an appearance after the matter had arrived at the Fourth Circuit, on appeal, a matter in which I had named a U.S. Congressman and two local judges in a RICO suit, which obviously was a problem for someone, and not necessarily me. I've seen the 2015 graduate of Cornell University Law School actually grab two other attorneys as book ends, while he tried to muscle through some stupid argument on Election Day, back in June 2020, and you know it had to be a bid deal for him, because I travelled to Richmond by train, the train arrived late, and Bob and two attorneys actually sat inside that courtroom for an hour, on a motion that should have only taken five minutes, with no more important place to be on Election Day. He plead res judicata on a matter to which he wasn't even a party, and even argued the doctrine of laches, which they tell you not to do in law school, unless you're desperate as Eichmann arguing defective extradition to Israeli Spec Ops Soldiers. But this here "argument" is truly a DUE see.

IT SHOULD BE PRETTY CLEAR BY NOW THAT, IF YOU THOUGHT YOUR WERE, YOU ARE NOT IN PANDEMIC KEANU REAVES IN THE MATRIX I honestly had no idea what these morons were talking about when they said green pill or red pill or any of the other science fiction fantasy Matrix crap until somebody explained it to me. The movie was not on my must see list. But, I am pretty certain, based upon large sample size observation, I have yet to meet a Keanu Reeves type or Larry Fishburne type in the pandemic matrix.

ISN'T THAT DOPE? OR ARE YOU A MORON? Imagine. Pandemic pathogen means something about science. A half million American dead means this science may be a little important. And you know nothing about science? Dude, that is on you. Darwinian evolution, and you like science, right?

Do you have what it takes to be an Airborne Ranger? Most don't.
