Biomedical; I feel an extra urgency to cast fatal doubt upon the entire germ/contagion narrative, given how many more people i’m seeing now donning masks in public, when there are no mandates for their use even indoors (except unfortunately in medical facilities in my county, starting Friday). I even saw a woman with a mask wearing a mask t-shirt stating “Still Vigilant.” Waiting for the Martians, or the unicorns,…Dr Sam Bailey here debunks what most people have internalized as historical truth, the native populations such as in North America were devastated by infections brought in by Europeans, either intentionally or otherwise.
Dr Sam Bailey, 10/29/24.
We have refuted all aspects of germ theory including an analysis of ‘the 14th century plague’, alleged to have been the deadliest pandemic of all time. We have concluded that while Koch’s postulates were logical and scientifically formulated, even Koch failed to satisfy them for any microbe. Germ theory is a refuted hypothesis with entire books dedicated to exposing this astounding fact including Virus Mania and The Final Pandemic.
We have dealt with every angle of the foundational science including “contagion”, “immunity”, “antibodies”, “vaccines” and of course the very existence of “viruses” and “pathogens”. So what could be left to maintain the belief in so-called dangerous ‘germs’? Well, there is one more question that is still being sent to us: “what about infectious diseases that devastated native populations?”…
In this video, we look into some well-known examples of Europeans travelling to the New World and the Pacific Islands in previous centuries. Populations can certainly be affected by the arrival of another culture in their region but what is the basis to the “infectious” diseases hypothesis? Unsurprisingly, trying to derive evidence from flawed upstream science has resulted in some creative storytelling in the attempts to maintain germ mythology.

Great job, Dr Sam Bailey.
The "infected blankets" and similar narratives are deeply woven into the false histories which are fed a propagandized global population, be it books, movies,.... They also play a key role in what purport to be critical narratives. And they are even a key part of science fiction, the the common cold killing off the Martian invaders in War of the Worlds. Saying this is hard to root out is an understatement.
And attacks upon those who try from the perspective of "you're in denial of racism" serve as a conformism reinforcement tool, amazingly just like those who attacked criticism of the official 9/11 narrative regarding what happened to the WTC towers by claiming that "you are denying the ability of nonwhite people to carry out sophisticated military operations," when in fact the critics' point was that no one could knock down the towers using planes.
So many layers of deception to counteract. Thanks for doing way more than your share!
[I will add: the Dr Bailey does good work in presenting the case that what really killed the native populations were the administrative practices of the colonialists, such as driving these populations out of their traditional areas and practices, forcing them into confined spaces in toxic environments, killing them en masse for resting being dispossession,….]

Tribes of historians have had quite the pow wow with this “Running Bull“ shit story of infected blankets wiping out native peoples. Chief Bailey‘s taken this old chestnut to Germ Theory‘s last stand at the Battle of Little Fear Porn -and scalped it properly!! If there are any more campfire tales to smoke out, you can bet the Bailey clan will tomahawk them with the precision of a seasoned warrior!! Their raid on this myth will send every fear-monger on a long trail of tears.
4IR; My friend Vincent Kelley puts forth this blow against the Left’s love of and addiction to technology.
Recapitulation, contemplation, provocation Vincent Kelley, 10/30/24.
Monthly Musings are published during the last week of every month. In each Monthly Muse, I recap content from the past month of Handful of Earth, offer some freewheeling reflections, and share a quote or passage that I’ve found especially thought-provoking. Here’s the October 2024 Monthly Muse.[List, with links]
Contemplation
I appeared on a What’s Left? podcast episode this month entitled, “The Left’s Love Affair with Tech.” We discussed a number of issues, which I summarize here.
The left’s relationship with technology may seem like an odd topic to discuss during the home stretch of the American presidential election. After all, neither campaign seems particularly interested in raising any serious criticisms of the tech industry. While attacks on Big Tech were commonplace on the MAGA-oriented right not long ago, Donald Trump’s embrace of Elon Musk and other tech giants has all but stifled Republican skepticism toward the tech industry and its attendant ideology. And though recent years have ushered in a wave of left-liberal tech criticism, this has not stopped Kamala Harris from assembling her own army of Silicon Valley venture capitalists.
Just as both candidates compete for Zionist donors, the Trump and Harris campaigns can’t seem to get enough of Big Tech. It’s easy to focus on the issues that the parties like to highlight to try and distinguish themselves from one another (immigration and abortion are chief among them). However, the issues that neither wishes to discuss are often just as (if not more) important. Allegiance to the Israel lobby and Big Tech have come to characterize both campaigns. As a result, the media directs our attention away from these forces despite the massive impact that they have on our lives.
I have written extensively on the intellectual and political origins and development of Silicon Valley here at Handful of Earth (see, for example, “The Left’s Problem with Technology,” “Ted Kaczynski and the Paradox of the Postwar Predicament,” and “Why Criticize Big Tech?”). While this in-depth analysis of technology may not fit the mold of election season clickbait, I believe that there’s no time like the present to return to issues of real importance (especially in the midst of manufactured electoral hysteria on both sides). Often the greatest political education comes when we bring our attention to the topics that neither candidate wants to talk about. Technology—and the way it is weaponized against us—is, in my view, the most important of these topics today.
Provocation
“The more dangerous leftists, that is, those who are most power-hungry, are often characterized by arrogance or by a dogmatic approach to ideology. However, the most dangerous leftists of all may be certain oversocialized types who avoid irritating displays of aggressiveness and refrain from advertising their leftism, but work quietly and unobtrusively to promote collectivist values, ‘enlightened’ psychological techniques for socializing children, dependence of the individual on the system, and so forth. These crypto-leftists (as we may call them) approximate certain bourgeois types as far as practical action is concerned, but differ from them in psychology, ideology and motivation. The ordinary bourgeois tries to bring people under control of the system in order to protect his way of life, or he does so simply because his attitudes are conventional. The crypto-leftist tries to bring people under control of the system because he is a True Believer in a collectivist ideology. The crypto-leftist is differentiated from the average leftist of the oversocialized type by the fact that his rebellious impulse is weaker and he is more securely socialized. He is differentiated from the ordinary well-socialized bourgeois by the fact that there is some deep lack within him that makes it necessary for him to devote himself to a cause and immerse himself in a collectivity. And maybe his (well-sublimated) drive for power is stronger than that of the average bourgeois.”

And, Electronic Intifada’s weekly news show. No show next week, back on 11/13.
The Electronic Intifada Podcast, 10/30/24, two hours and 54 minutes.
My comments. No time marks provided by the page. These are my own approximate marks.
0:00 - Nora Barrows-Friedman does a news summary. Horrible news regarding the massive fatal casualties even the last few days, such as 77 in Lebanon and over 140 in North Gaza yesterday, the arrogance of the IDF in ordering Lebanese to leave their homes and to attack hospitals and UNIFIL bases. A touching story by one of the correspondents in Gaza about her injured father and his cat still waiting for him at home, which she has left.
23:00 - Barrows-Friedman and co-producer Ali Abunimah talk with Ahmed Alnaouq, a writer who is regularly featured on New Arab and Middle East Eye and is the co-founder of the writing project We’e Not Numbers. He discusses his new article at New Arab about the first anniversary of the death of 21 members of his family in Gaza via an IDF air attack, including his father and siblings. His project helps train young Gaza residents to write in English about what they’re living through, so that the world can know, at least those people who bother.
1:12:00 - John Elmers presents videos of military actions in Gaza, the northern West Bank and Lebanon/northern Israel, demonstrating in plain sight the lies of the IDF and the Zionist regime.
2:00:00 - Group discussion involving all three of the aforementioned co-producers joined by their colleague Asa Winstanley. They first discuss the announcement by Hezbollah that Naim Qassem will be its new head and his speech today. He stated there will be no separate agreement with Israel without a ceasefire in Gaza, and no submission to Israeli demands such as allowing an IDF occupation of southern Lebanon. Israeli propaganda outlets such as TV7 News and ILTV, as well as Christian Zionist media outlets such as CBN are pushing the idea that Hezbollah is falling apart and close to suing for a separate peace, No way.
The next topic was the IDF attack on Iran. Those same Zionist outlets are claiming it was devastating. Actual evidence is to the contrary, which is what former high ranking UK diplomat Alastair Crooke told an interviewer, as shown in a short excerpt. They then tackled the new Israeli law prohibiting the presence of the UN aid agency, UNRWA, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, in either Gaza or the West Bank, thus cutting off all aid to Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.
Lastly, they discussed the effect the genocide is having on the US elections, as apparently many Arab-American voters are abandoning the Harris campaign, which could have a big effect in the swing state of Michigan.
Ending this segment and this edition, yet another disaster due to extreme weather, this time a massive flood in the region of Valencia, on the southern Mediterranean coast, as over 16 inches fell in one day, an amount almost as large as the city’s average annual rainfall. Human-driven climate chaos worsens by the day. Please don’t tell me this was engineered. Where did the moisture and the dynamics come from? Cloud seeding does crap without moisture and without proper atmospheric dynamics.
At least 95 dead after torrential rain and floods in Spain. Spain has declared three days of mourning in memory of the people who lost their lives to the deadly floods. 10/30/24.
At least 95 people have died in flash floods after torrential rain battered Spain’s eastern region of Valencia and surrounding areas, authorities have said. Heavy storms on Tuesday triggered floods across parts of southern and eastern Spain. Footage shared on social media showed vehicles being swept away down streets by the mud-coloured water.
More than 1,000 soldiers from Spain’s emergency response units were deployed to affected areas and the central government set up a crisis committee to help coordinate rescue efforts. Emergency services in Valencia urged citizens to avoid any kind of road travel and to follow further updates from official sources. Emergency services in Valencia confirmed a death toll of 92 people on Wednesday. Two more people died in the neighbouring Castilla-La Mancha region, and another victim was reported in Andalusia in the south, both regions’ leaders told journalists.
The toll could rise as some people remain unaccounted for. Carlos Mazon, the regional leader of Valencia, told a news conference that some people remained isolated in inaccessible locations. “If {emergency services} have not arrived, it’s not due to a lack of means or predisposition, but a problem of access,” Mazon said, adding that reaching certain areas was “absolutely impossible”.[SNIP]…...
