I had intended to spend the majority of the day getting out more trick or treat tyrannies before catching up on the campaign because of the extra hour as our afternoons will suddenly dwindle to darkness as we head toward winter; however, I am quite frankly sick of the Boston Globe.
It's my own fault because I was exhausted at digesting their endless evil everyday and got behind. They didn't make it any easier by changing their format (I'm sure that was the point, slow 'em down) nor has Blogger. I have adjusted to the new format, but am slowed by the endless save function. I know it is my fault to a certain degree because the posts are overly long and hard to read, but the truth is I have become sick of reading, reporting on, and then ceaselessly having to refute lies and propaganda while pointing to endless contradictions in the slop they serve up. I know it is because they are now nothing but a $hit n$heet for the elite of Bo$ton and can no longer be considered a newspaper. Even the allegedly ground-breaking stuff is something else upon closer inspection.
Anyway, today's pos Globe leads with Liz Goodwin of the Globe Staff wondering if there is a quiet majority of exhausted voters who are ready to boot Trump out as the reelection has become a referendum on his presidency (just as every presidential reelection campaign. Nothing new there).
Below the fold are a triplet of stories (from left to right)
Trump has taught us lessons about ourselves
Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham says that win or lose,Trump has taught — or retaught — this country plenty about ourselves and those lessons will still be with us, no matter what happens on Tuesday.
Biden stuck with a message about healing a divided nation
Jess Bidgood of the Globe Staff says slow starter Biden has remained steady throughout the campaign — and he’s about to find out if that has paid off and will soon learn if his low-key, soothing style is right for the nation after he campaigned with a quiet sobriety (both did) and a newfound sense of discipline (with a little help from the Globe).
Analysis from David Shribman, a Globe Correspondent, says it’s either repeat or repudiation for Trump as the world’s oldest democracy has a presidential campaign that will turn simply on the nation’s verdict on the character, the personality, the style, the behavior, and the policies of one individual (which makes one question the Globe ad services).

Turning into the pos we find:
Obama criticizes Trump in scathing, personal terms
And yet Black Men (along with Hispanics) are abandoning Biden.
Final Weekend Campaigning Reflects Both Traditional Barnstorming and 2020 Chaos
So says the New York Times.
SIGH.
I guess there is no end to the crap models of scripted and simulated lies, etc, etc.
These people are flat-out f**king liars who should be ashamed of themselves at this stage, and the criminal pre$$ says the results indicate that the pandemic “is having a tremendous and significant impact on death in the country, and it may extend well beyond those deaths that are directly classified as Covid deaths,” while the analysis highlights two disturbing trends: the researchers discovered a high percentage of excess deaths in an unexpected group -- young adults in the prime of life -- and the coronavirus has greatly raised deaths over all among people of color, and although the pandemic has mostly killed older Americans, the greatest percentage increase in excess deaths has occurred among adults ages 25 to 44, the analysis found, a group that includes millennials.
Beyond that, the CDC has already admitted that the COVID-19 virus has never been isolated. They have NO PROOF that it EVEN EXISTS as they stop counting flu cases this year after flu deaths dropped 98% last year. That all comes on top of the CDC saying only 6% of the deaths were COVID specific and after the New York Times came out two months ago and reported that in 90% of the cases, people are testing false positive and are non-infectious.
That's why I am saying f**k this. The pre$$ acts as if they never reported it as they continue to front for the genocidal globalists class and pharmaceuticals who are using their tyrannical paid off political and institutional puppets to implant the Great Re$et.
Meanwhile, the Globe has an interactive map that shows you how COVID-19 hospitalizations have spiked around the US since March as they rerun the same script and expect us to fall for it twice.
They are downright criminal, readers.
"A frazzled world holds its breath while US chooses leader" by David M. Halbfinger New York Times, October 31, 2020
JERUSALEM — If the world could vote in Tuesday’s presidential election, Israel would be one of the reddest places on the globe.
They pretty much have a veto on which leader is selected, and our choice is which crops of Jews do we want ruling us: the Commie Jews represented by the Deep $tate Democrats and pre$$, or the Zioni$t Jews as represented by Trump.
Israel’s right-wing government has been showered with political favors by the Trump White House and backed completely, culminating in normalization deals with three Arab countries that made the Middle East suddenly feel a bit less hostile to the Jewish state. A victory for former vice president Joe Biden would be a substantial loss for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
American presidential elections always seize international attention, but this year is exceptional: Trump has dominated news cycles and frayed nerves in almost every corner of the earth like few leaders in history. Having lived through his impulsiveness, and his disdain for allies and dalliances with adversaries, the world is on tenterhooks waiting to see whether the United States will choose to stay that rocky course. Germans are obsessing over the contest on newspaper front pages, and in Ukraine, where Trump’s demand for political dirt on Biden got him impeached, some are worrying that in a close election he could press President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for another favor, a congratulatory message to bestow legitimacy on a premature claim of victory.
No country has watched the American election unfold with greater anger and grievance than China — and few have more at stake. Tensions over trade, technology, and the coronavirus have brought relations to their worst level since Washington first recognized the People’s Republic in 1979.
Even so, few Chinese officials appear to harbor much hope that a defeat for Trump would usher in any improvement. Rather, given Biden’s increasingly hawkish “get tough on China” campaign rhetoric, they seem to be treating him as a more complicated challenge.
Yeah, their interference and buying off of the Bidens and Obamas is ignored by my pre$$.
It's always Russia, Russia, Russia with them.
State media and ordinary Chinese online have portrayed the presidential campaign as an embarrassing battle between two geriatrics, with one magazine, Caijing, asking, “Why does the American presidential debate look like a quarrel in a wet market?”
President Xi Jinping appeared to be taking a direct shot at Trump last week when he said, “In the contemporary world, any unilateralism, protectionism, or extreme egoism will never work.”
So China is leading the globalist charge, huh?
In Russia, which the CIA accuses of mounting a clandestine effort to reelect Trump, pro-Kremlin news organizations have played up the possibility of violence and chaos, allowing commentators who depict American democracy as rotten to the core to declare the campaign an I-told-you-so moment, but a majority of Russians say it makes no difference to them who wins.
I'm sure it doesn't because they know they will have to deal with another dick just they have for decades.
To the Europeans, a Trump reelection would confirm that the United States is giving up its leadership role in the western alliance. Many Europeans fear a more radical and even less constrained Trump in a second term, freer to act on his instincts — like those that guided his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which he ignored epidemiologists, mocked mask wearers, and insisted the virus would just go away.
A Biden presidency, by comparison, would be welcomed as “a return to civilization,” said François Heisbourg, a French defense analyst.
Attitudes among British officials are more ambivalent, given Trump’s staunch support of Brexit — Biden said he would have opposed it — and close relationship with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
British officials worry that Biden would give short shrift to their top priority with Washington, an Anglo-American trade agreement, and Johnson may need to repair some scar tissue with Biden’s aides, dating back to disparaging remarks Johnson made about former president Barack Obama in 2016, but ordinary Britons have far fewer misgivings. Trump was so unpopular that his visits had to be planned to avoid huge protests, and polls show Biden favored by a lopsided margin, but Trump does have his partisans: Central and Eastern European leaders appreciate his bolstering the US troop presence along Russia’s borders.
They are all fighting for their lives.
In the Middle East, where Trump’s foreign policy has had the biggest impact, a Democratic victory could leave the autocratic leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey with few friends in Washington, said Hisham Melhem, a columnist for the Lebanese newspaper Annahar Al Arabi.
That could prod Saudi Arabia, which Biden has called a “pariah state,” into offering to normalize ties with Israel, if only to blunt calls to reevaluate the Saudi-American relationship, he said.
Conversely, a Trump victory offers Israel no guarantees. A second-term President Trump, unfettered of his need to please pro-Israel evangelical voters, might rush into an overly forgiving new deal with Iran, many Israelis fret.....
He will more than likely start WWIII for them, but even that is preferable to the pharmacological and technological dystopian hell the Great Re$et globalists have planned for us.

"Crispr Gene Editing Can Cause Unwanted Changes in Human Embryos, Study Finds" by Katherine J. Wu, New York Times Oct. 31, 2020
A powerful gene-editing tool called Crispr-Cas9, which this month nabbed the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for two female scientists, can cause serious side effects in the cells of human embryos, prompting them to discard large chunks of their genetic material, a new study has found.
Administered to cells to repair a mutation that can cause hereditary blindness, the Crispr-Cas9 technology appeared to wreak genetic havoc in about half the specimens that the researchers examined, according to a study published in the journal Cell on Thursday.
The consequences of these errors can be quite serious in some cases, said Dieter Egli, a geneticist at Columbia University and an author of the study. Some cells were so flummoxed by the alterations that they simply gave up on trying to fix them, jettisoning entire chromosomes, the units into which human DNA is packaged, Dr. Egli said.
“We’re often used to hearing about papers where Crispr is very successful,” said Nicole Kaplan, a geneticist at New York University who was not involved in the study, “but with the amount of power we hold” with this tool, Dr. Kaplan said, it is crucial “to understand consequences we didn’t intend.”
Crispr-Cas9, a scissorslike chemical tool that can precisely cut and customize stretches of genetic material, such as human DNA, stoked international controversy in 2018 when He Jiankui, a Chinese scientist, used the technology to yield the world’s first gene-edited infants. The experiment was widely condemned as irresponsible and dangerous — in large part because many of the ways in which Crispr-Cas9 can affect cells remain poorly understood. Dr. He was found guilty of conducting illegal medical practices in China and sentenced to three years in prison.
The new paper’s findings further underscore that “it’s really too soon to be applying Crispr to reproductive genetics,” said Nita Farahany, a bioethicist at Duke University who was not involved in the study.
Too bad, because the tool is apparently a big part of the RNA messenger vaccines that are going to be rolled out shortly.
Maybe this report is the Times way of trying to blunt the whole agenda, but I doubt it. They will have to earn back any trust respect they once had, and I'm not optimistic.
Crispr-Cas9 treatments have already been given directly to people to treat conditions like blindness — a potential cure that affects that patient, and that patient only, but modifications made to sperm, eggs and embryos can be passed to future generations, raising the stakes for any mistakes made along the way.
Although scientists have been tinkering with genomes for decades, Crispr-Cas9 can accomplish a precise type of genetic surgery that other tools cannot.
Scientists can use Crispr-Cas9 to home in on a specific region of the genome and snip it in two. Sensing trouble, the cell rushes to heal its genetic wound, sometimes using a similar-looking stretch of nearby, intact DNA as a template as it stitches the pieces back together. This gives researchers an opportunity to splice in a tailor-made template of their own, in the hopes that the cell will incorporate the intended change.
Kind of like a modification, right?
In 2017, a team of researchers led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov, a geneticist at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, reported that human embryos carrying a mutation could be coaxed into this process without a synthetic template, but the new findings could cast some doubt on the 2017 work, Dr. Egli added.
Instead of gently goading the cell into editing the genetic “text” at which it was targeted, the Crispr machinery gouged irreparable gaps in cells’ DNA, said Maria Jasin, a geneticist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and another author of the study. The negative consequences, she added, were disproportionately disastrous. “They were talking about trying to repair one gene, and you have a substantial fraction of the genome being changed,” Dr. Jasin said.
That's where the print copy snipped it.
Dr. Egli and Dr. Jasin said that this probably happened in Dr. Mitalipov’s 2017 paper as well, but it went unnoticed. After Dr. Mitalipov’s team carried out their Crispr-Cas9 treatment, they could no longer detect the mutation in embryos, but Dr. Egli and Dr. Jasin noted that, technically, dumping or destroying a huge segment of a chromosome would have wiped out evidence of the mutation as well. Dr. Mitalipov and his team, they said, might have mistaken a deletion for an edit.
Dr. Mitalipov disagreed with this interpretation, and he said the new paper’s conclusions were not fully backed up by the necessary data. “They don’t have evidence to show these are deletions,” he said. Far more complex experiments, he said, would be needed to conclusively distinguish a “corrected” chromosome from an absent one.
Dr. Kaplan, of New York University, said she found the new paper’s findings convincing, and she, like all of the other experts who spoke with The New York Times, echoed a crucial sentiment: that Crispr-editing embryos in the clinic must remain a far-off reality, if it is ever approved at all. “At this point, it’s too dangerous,” Dr. Jasin said. “We’re just not sure which way things are going to go.”

"How are Americans catching the virus? Increasingly, ‘They have no idea’" by Sarah Mervosh and Lucy Tompkins New York Times, October 31, 2020
When the coronavirus first erupted in Sioux Falls, S.D., in the spring, Mayor Paul TenHaken arrived at work each morning with a clear mission: Stop the outbreak at the pork plant. Hundreds of employees, chopping meat shoulder to shoulder, had gotten sick in what was then the largest US virus cluster.
That outbreak was extinguished months ago, and these days, when he heads into City Hall, the situation is far more nebulous. The virus has spread all over town.
“You can swing a cat and hit someone who has got it,” said TenHaken, who had to reschedule his own meetings to Zoom this past week after his assistant tested positive for the virus.
As the coronavirus soars across the country, smashing daily records and surpassing 9 million cases nationwide, tracing the path of the pandemic in the United States is no longer simply challenging. It has become nearly impossible.
Gone are the days when Americans could easily understand the virus by tracking rising case numbers back to discrete sources — the crowded factory, the troubled nursing home, the rowdy bar. Now, there are so many cases, in so many places, that many people are coming to a frightening conclusion: They have no idea where the virus is spreading.
Because it isn't, and did you notice they never track back to a city-sacking, social justice protest?
“It’s just kind of everywhere,” said Crystal Watson, a senior scholar at the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who estimated that tracing coronavirus cases becomes difficult once the virus spreads to more than 10 cases per 100,000 people.
You are shut down because of a 1 in 10,000 rate of alleged infection, folks.
In some of the hardest-hit spots in the United States, the virus is spreading at 10 to 20 times that rate, and even health officials have all but given up trying to figure out who is giving the virus to whom.
Are they ready to throw in the bowl on this fraud?
There have been periods earlier in the pandemic when infections spread beyond large, well-understood clusters in prisons, business meetings, and dinner parties, tearing through communities in ways that were nearly impossible to keep track of, but for the most part, that experience was isolated to hard-hit places like New York City in the spring and portions of the Sun Belt in the summer.
This time, the diffuse, chaotic spread is happening in many places at once. Uncovering the path of transmission from person to person, known as contact tracing, is seen as a key tool for containing the spread of the coronavirus. Within a day or two of testing positive, residents in many communities can expect to get a phone call from a trained contact tracer, who conducts a detailed interview before beginning the painstaking process of tracking down each new person who may have been exposed.
MAY HAVE BEEN?
It was one of several strategies that helped tamp down earlier outbreaks in places like Massachusetts, New York, and Washington, D.C., but as cases skyrocket again in many states, many health officials have conceded that interviewing patients and dutifully calling each contact will not be enough to slow the outbreak.
“Contact tracing is not going to save us,” said Dr. Ogechika Alozie, chief medical officer at Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, where hospitalizations in the county have soared by more than 400 percent and officials issued a new order for residents to stay at home.
Well, what will be enough to save us then?
The problem, of course, is that failing to fully track the virus makes it much harder to get a sense of where the virus is flourishing and how to get ahead of new outbreaks, but once an area spins out of control, trying to trace back each chain of transmission can feel like scooping cupfuls of water from a flood.
In some places, overwhelmed health officials have abandoned any pretense of keeping up.....
I doubt it. This article is simply to get you to relax regarding the totalitarian medical tyranny that is about the be foisted upon us all.

The web version continued with the story of "Heidi Stevens, who is among the newly infected who considers her case a mystery. As a columnist at The Chicago Tribune, Stevens works from home. Her children attend school online. She wears a mask when she goes for a run, and she has not had a haircut since January. So when she got a precautionary test a few weeks ago, with the hopes of inviting friends over to have cake for her daughter’s 15th birthday, Stevens was shocked to learn she was positive. “I would drive myself crazy if I tried to really nail it down,” said Stevens, 46, who was hospitalized for three days and still wakes up with headaches. Did she pick up an infected apple at the grocery store and somehow touch her eye? Should she have been wearing a face shield, in addition to her mask? The possibilities feel endless. “It’s just out there,” she said."
Maybe this will wake the pre$$ up, although I doubt it given her last response.

The Globe is worried about the Deep State being in Trump’s crosshairs if he wins reelection as they sing the praises of the pedophile Joe Biden because the moment has met the man who will bind up the wounds of a polarized nation after hammering out climate solutions suggested by a new political movement makes policymakers stop and think about the needs of future generations.
