New British government data showing mRNA vaccinated dying 52% more than unvaccinated - aka 1.5x accelerated death rate - global public health disaster by magnora7 in news

[–]magnora7[S] 17 insightful - 4 fun17 insightful - 3 fun18 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

This data doesn't even include deaths that died within 14 days of getting the shot, as they weren't counted as "vaccinated" so the numbers are likely much worse!

And furthermore, the spike protein and mRNA was supposed to go away in a matter of weeks. Instead they're finding the mRNA is put in to DNA through an enzyme called reverse-transcriptase.

They said it would stay in the muscle cells near the injection area. But (especially without aspiration) it will get in to the blood. And because of the nanolipids it's coated in to get it inside of cells, it can also cross the blood-brain barrier.

So people are having mRNA go in to their heart cells, and brain cells, and begin making spike proteins.

And studies now show that in some percentage of people, the production of spike proteins NEVER ENDS.

So any health condition, such as amyloidosis, that can be caused by too many spike proteins coagulating in one area, will just get worse and worse. (Although I have read NAC, Nattokinase, and bromalin (aka pineapples) all help break these spike proteins down, so that might help if you are having weird heart or circulatory issues after getting the mRNA shots, but I am no doctor, I am just repeating what I have read so do you own research.

Furthermore it seems in some people the body adapts to the spike proteins, and begins to see them as part of the body so the immune system ignores them. Then upon infection of a new strain of covid, they get it REALLY BAD. This has to do with the igg4, and the disease is basically ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) which people warned about from day 1. That's what the ferrets in the mRNA injection studies died from. ADE upon reinfection.

Almost as many people have died of the shots as have died of covid. That's what this video is saying. 150k died of the shots in the UK, and about 200k died of covid in the first year and a half of it in the UK. So the medicine has almost killed as many as the disease, and the death count overall is nearly doubled.

Yet even despite all this data, governments and corporations are STILL recommending this? It's truly unreal. The data is out. This is no longer a matter of question. This is a public health disaster, perhaps the worst in history. It's time to speak out.

It seems your main complaint is that we don't advertise enough.

Then help us spread the word! You don't have to be an admin to do that.

Changing management isn't going to suddenly create more advertising buzz... if anything the opposite, because I've been promoting this site endlessly, for free, for years now. You won't get a better deal than that. This site operates on $102/mo, all of which goes to server costs, so any growth has to come from word of mouth, from users like you.

Also saidit grew a lot today, we had 1280 comments in the last 24 hours, which is a higher number than I've seen in a long while.

That's a good point. I thought reddit screwed this up when they moved to the redesign, but their smart move was keeping old.reddit.com. If they got rid of that during the redesign several years ago, we probably would've seen a digg situation. Smart move on reddit's part to keep the legacy design accessible.

I mean fighting in the sense of arguing and posting tons of comments and posts that hijack entire threads and forums. Like for example, a thread might have 90 comments, 40 are russian shills arguing the pro-russian side, 40 are US shills arguing the US side, and then 10 are actual real people. Because the different shill groups try to shut each other down they get caught in arguments with each other, and those arguments end up making up the bulk of some threads. Especially if it's a contentious MSM hot button current issue for both sides, then it goes wild and normal folk can barely get a word in edgewise.

Reddit Blackout Welcome Thread by [deleted] in whatever

No, sorry but I can't make that change. Unfortunately, what happens is people make subs with very questionable names and then upvote themselves and those subs to the front page daily for weeks, and begin posting actual legitimate news in those fringe subs like it's the main sub for the whole saidit website, and then over weeks and months new users see awful sub names on half the posts everyday and it absolutely drives people away.

It's a way to subvert the website, by making one fringe extremist sub take over the front page. And it's very hard to get rid of once it takes root. This has happened twice. So we have it this way for a reason. I wish we could have it defaulted to /all without this problem occurring. However I totally understand the desire for easier access to information.

That's why we added functionality so users can change their frontpage to 'all' by default in the 'preferences' button by your username. Guests without a username who want to view it can go to https://saidit.net/s/all as well. Thanks.

Agreed, although I'm not even sure what a decent compromise would honestly look like in practice. Just a complete walkback of everything they stated in the last few months? Even then, the problem still persists that made them try it in the first place, the motivations and people that caused it are not changed at all. Leaving reddit and planting roots on other forums is the only true way forward, imo. The huge power reddit has over the information flow of the current internet is insane, and that is the actual root problem underneath all the other problems. It's too centralized, and the power is being abused. Instead there needs to be many more forums that are all frequently used. Putting all our eggs in one basket was never a good idea.

I have to say the current strike method has succeeded in generating quite a bit of conversation though, which is good.

Monthly is a good idea too. Also a strike should have a goal and if the goal is accomplished the strike should end. I assume the goal is "end the API request fees" but several 3rd party services have already been killed off, so I'm not sure what a win looks like at this point.

I think the only real win is migrating off of reddit, because reddit is obviously culturally broken at the root, and it's not like the CEO is magically going to start behaving properly because of this strike. We know where reddit stands, and it has been this way for a long time, so we should be acting on it by migrating to other platforms.

Minus the bots and shills, I really wonder how many human beings are active on that website every month. I bet it's 1/10th of their stated number, they're trying to drive up valuations and metrics with bot activity, and reddit has done this from day 1 when they made tons of fake accounts to make reddit look popular, until it actually was. Saidit never did that. So reddit has a long long history of fluffing itself up to make it look like more than it is.

But overall I agree with the strike. I just think that a strike shouldn't have a fixed ending date, or they'll just wait it out and go back to normal. Also this should've happened years ago, there was just never enough of a unifying event until this API fiasco.

True, or it even could be just someone from a subreddit that hates one of the subs that migrated to saidit... could be a lot of things, but what is clear is that the attacks are sophisticated, and basically every forum these days suffers from these attacks. So really I think it's something more about controlling discourse on the internet, than about reddit specifically. Which would make sense that governments would have such programs, it's not expensive and yields a high return in terms of social control. And the JIDF, shareblue, Cambridge Analytica, Chinese shill groups, russian shill groups, Langley Air Force Base groups (which I believe one day was found to have generated 60% of reddit traffic), and so on are well-known to exist and operate across many forums, and they are all trying to control the whole thing of course so they can control the narrative. And they're all out-competing each other, and meanwhile normal people are drowning in propaganda and nonsense generated from all this activity. And the whole internet is slowly being ruined in the process, because the signal-to-noise ratio is going to crap with all the deliberate nonsense being posted so often.

Could very well be, especially since this is a fork of reddit's open source, and the attackers seemed to know the software inside-out on day 1, and exactly how to exploit it. And it would make sense that reddit would want to stifle competition.

Interesting technical analysis, I will think about that some more, thank you. They are obviously somehow able to get replies despite the IP changing with literally every request and jumping beyond any normal IP bounds of any service like tor. I don't know exactly how it works. Honestly it's beyond anything I've ever seen, it may be some gov't tech, who knows. It's quite obviously not some dumb script kiddies, there's no question about that. They know what they are doing and have lots of software specifically for this. I have also seen they have software that does automated account registration, and automated comment and post deletion after a saidit account is banned. They're quite obviously well-prepared, and a lot of this was unleashed on day 1 of saidit's launch, wherein a group on reddit literally scanned /r/conspiracy for regularly-commenting usernames and then registered all those usernames on saidit in order to frustrate the migration and scare off new users. They registered something like 5,000 accounts in under a half-day, on saidit's opening day, before we turned on a more advanced captcha system.

Saidit basically had to become a cyber-fortress just to exist, I probably personally spent over 1000 hours just on saidit cybersecurity alone. I learned how to write Cloudflare API bash scripts that send self-autogenerated IP ban lists (which I also wrote a script for) from our server to the cloudflare server, without having to use the paid service, just to save money. D3rr and I used every trick we know to get saidit as secure as it is, and he's even better with this stuff than I am.

Basically my point is, this is a very high hurdle to jump over, and it's little wonder a lot of reddit alternatives implode quickly. You have to absolutely have your stuff together from day 1, or the site will be taken down from malicious attacks that are just free-floating around the internet. Most people can't do this, and most forums fail. Especially if the forum is related to anything controversial.

This itself is a way to stifle the free speech of the masses. You literally have to be a cybersecurity expert just to run a dang forum in 2023. And that's not even mentioning the actual code of just getting the thing running in the first place. And then the critical mass problem of attracting enough users. The hurdles are too high, so it's little wonder there are so few viable reddit alternatives. It's not a good state of affairs for the internet and culture in general. And with with the improving quality of automated AI posting and commenting on top of that, I worry about the future of anonymous text-based forums.

As someone who does know what this looks like server-side, I can't understand why they would have an outage due to low traffic either. Unless they have some system that depends on bot activity that they're suddenly not getting or something like that, but it seems highly unlikely. My guess is they're probably panicking trying to compartmentalize and contain the damage from the strike, and making technical mistakes in the process, and blaming it on users

I'm pretty sure it's the former, not the latter. Also could work for reddit, shutting down competition. Although reddit is basically fed owned at this point too, so the distinction probably doesn't matter that much. Also there are Russian and Chinese shill groups, and many more... it's quite frequent the shill groups will even fight each other. The internet is truly a different place from 20 years ago

It's worse than that, these attackers can spoof any IP. Trillions of IPs. They often choose Tor node IP ranges to spoof, it seems, to overlap with real traffic, as a means to try and get us to ban tor and to also cover up their activity. They also spoof other IP ranges, but tor is their favorite.

They're able to spoof IP addresses in the tor node range of IPs, is the actual problem. They're not using tor, they're just acting like they are a lot of times to make the fact their IP changes with every request look less suspicious.

The checkbox is actually an advanced form of captcha that detects mouse movements and timing to see that they look human, it's not just a random box (even though cloudflare disguised it that way)

No we can't change it, because turning down tor limitations results in tons of spam accounts and spam posts that make this site even more unusable.

Try having a fixed IP, or just turning off VPNs. VPNs are largely just honeypots anyway...

User donations pay for about half these days. A couple years ago user donations were covering 100%, maybe someday we could get back to that. Total costs are only $110/mo, thankfully we priced it low as possible with longevity in mind.

Why do thumbnails sometimes fail to load? Saidit will display a thumbnail image for a JPG at a given URL on some days, and at other times the thumbnails fail to generate or display. Is it the image host or Saidit that blocks the thumbnail from being generated? by In-the-clouds in AskSaidIt

Yup. It might just be them wanting to reduce their bandwidth usage by turning off hotlinking or who knows, there's a million possible reasons

[–]magnora7 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's the host. We try and display all images possible, some hosts make that more difficult than others.

Looking at your examples you can see that in general files.catbox.moe doesn't display thumbnails: https://saidit.net/domain/files.catbox.moe/

But midi.moe does: https://saidit.net/domain/midi.moe/

This probably has something to do with files.catbox.moe disallowing hotlinking, or disallowing whatever scraping method we use currently. Ideally to fix it, a new scraping method that works around this would have to be written for each host that doesn't currently function. And then the hosts also may change that scraping accessibility again and again, as we've had some hosts work for out thumbnails for a while, then stop working, then work again months later.

Well said. Clearly the pharma companies got a hold of government and media, and used these untested experimental shots as a source of profit, bolstered by the fear from covid. And now some percentage of people are damaged long-term from the shots.

The gaslighting around this issue is unreal (and probably paid for by pharma to occur in the media, including internet comments). But we saw what happened. We remember.

And like you said, humanity as a whole just made a huge mistake and we must learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them.

It's amazing how blatant it is that there are all these different "classes" of citizens that have completely different tiers of "justice" applied to them. It's so corrupt. Justice was supposed to be blind, to apply to all people equally. But instead now it's the exact opposite.

It's like the middle-ages caste system brought back to life.

Graph of total US credit card debt, notice the spike over the last few months? by magnora7 in finance

Great point. And not only that, but the world supply is being flooded with unwanted USD as various countries stop holding it for petrodollar reasons, aka they don't need it for trading oil, and they don't want it as a reserve currency nearly as much. So there's all this unwanted USD floating around, and the value per USD is going down as a result of the enlarged supply and lowered demand.

So the Fed is having to raise rates to not only combat the covid stimulus inflation, they also have to counter this post-petrodollar swell of USD with rate raises as well. So it could get really nasty if they want to stabilize the currency, we could see lending rates go to 15-20%, which means money will be impossible to get. So any business or household operating on credit is now on a crash course to failure unless they can gain financial self-sufficiency because they can't get a loan or refinance their loan this time, not on their house or car.

Hence the sharply growing credit card debt in the graph. It's going to be a very rough ride for those accustomed to the 0% Fed interest rates of the prior 12 years.

Good points, but if you look closely the last peak was actually late 2019, right before covid... I think we were on the cusp of an economic breakdown and covid "saved" us (or at least kicked the can down the road for a couple more years)

Yup, it's bad. They need to do it though to stop inflation. If they don't raise rates, inflation could get crazy and the price of food could double every month.... but they also created this inflation themselves through all the covid stimulus and so on. And the petrodollar dying is creating a lot of unwanted USD which is making each one worth less, aka inflation. So they're having to raise rates to compensate for the death of the petrodollar

Yes I saw something about a $1.5 trillion debt wave coming due on commercial real estate.

I heard McDonalds just sold their headquarters buildings and lowered their minimum wage. There's a lot of businesses having to downsize now with money being so hard to get thanks to federal reserve rate raises (which they need to do to curb the inflation they created during covid and due to the ongoing petrodollar collapse)

Agreed, small businesses are hurting badly. In 1860 something like 95% of Americans worked at small businesses, now it's like 5%. And after covid it's probably even lower.

Good observation. To that effect, look at the delinqunicy rate from the article where I got the OP graph: https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/credit-card-debt-statistics/

It shows that the delinquency rates are very low right now, but the debt is very high. So everyone has taken out massive credit card debt, but it hasn't come due yet.

So 60-120 days from now we could be seeing large amounts of delinquency, and then it might get bad like you say. They already cut EBT a few months ago pretty drastically, ending all the covid bonuses.
