Summary
China uses “United Front” work to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP’s United Front Work Department (UFWD)—the agency responsible for coordinating these kinds of influence operations—mostly focuses on the management of potential opposition groups inside China, but it also has an important foreign influence mission. To carry out its influence activities abroad, the UFWD directs “overseas Chinese work,” which seeks to co-opt ethnic Chinese individuals and communities living outside China, while a number of other key affiliated organizations guided by China’s broader United Front strategy conduct influence operations targeting foreign actors and states. Some of these entities have clear connections to the CCP’s United Front strategy, while others’ linkage is less explicit........
.....It is precisely the nature of United Front work to seek influence through connections that are difficult to publically prove and to gain influence that is interwoven with sensitive issues such as ethnic, political, and national identity, making those who seek to identify the negative effects of such influence vulnerable to accusations of prejudice.

Sadly, Arkansas Childrens Hospital has 27 in icu and 5 on vents.....according to Little Rock news. Parnet's are scared to send their children back to school here without vaccines. Something has to give.
1,400 new cases adult and children today.....damnit! I'm still working unmasked and going where I'd like with no mask or jab.
I work for my sister who has tried to push me for the first time this week, to take the vax. It didn't end well for her, which it rarely does...lol. Also got into agruments with a good but gullible friend over it yesterday and pissed a coworker off Monday. Great week so far! Does anyone know how they test for antigens? `
Is it blood or spit that they put in a pcr type test or another method? I think I had Delta V last week.
The antigen test is still a nasal swab. The swab is placed into a solution for 60 seconds and then reamed. The fluid is aspirated and placed into a cartridge (think home pregnancy test type cartridge). Sample incubates for 15 minutes. Instrument reads the result.
To determine if you had Delta V you’d need a positive PCR that was then forwarded to the state or CDC or genome sequencing
There’s antigen testing, PCR testing, antibody testing, and genome sequencing.
Most inpatient type facilities will run an antigen test first. If negative will run a PCR. If negative testing is complete. If positive the result is reported to the health dept. lately roughly 20% of those positives are then sequenced to identify variant. And then the antibody test to determine immune statusedit on 12-8-2021 by PeteMitchell because: (no reason given)

I know the answer to this! Smylex!

"It had been discovered that Joker had cleverly tainted the chemicals of the products from a mixture of components that would only be poisonous if the products were combined, such as hairspray being combined with lipstick and eyeshadow."

Since we are our own Emergency Alert System-
Caled you are onto it! I have been mulling over that very point. A combination of cosmetic products. Many women use hairspray and lipstick. You wouldn't believe how toxic that hairspray is when in a hairdressers. It is like a gas chamber. That was a horrible analogy.
I have thought of the impact of lipstick, just think, kissing husband, child, baby, Grandparents, parents - just look how many people are impacted if that lipstick is the KISS OF DEATH.
I wouldn't dismiss this since everything good is inverted to evil.
What do you think about Snow White?
P.S. I would have responded yesterday but more computer issues after the nuking of my last one. As we all say - over target.
Examining the messaging in the Hublot twits one collaberation is worrying me.
Odd that I have worried about this for years.
LIPSTICK
I have often wondered what it is composed of. Alarming that this watch company has incorporated a lipstick in one of their series. To wear or not to wear, that is the kuestion.
This is the most emblematic work by MARC FERRORS. Another supposed artist.

Cal good point. What do you think about Snow White?
She is always shown with blood red lipstick.
For nearly two centuries, literary theorists have been speculating if this folk tale was based on true events. And they’ve discovered three possible sources for it.

For me, the Antigen test was a pin prick like you do before you give blood at the Red Cross. Exactly like that. Waited a few minutes and talked over the results.

I know I had the virus in Jan 2020 before the test even came out. Is there anyway to test for antigens a year and half after you had the virus?
On a side note, woke up this morning and turned on Faux News and first thing I hear is Doocy pushing the vax. At least Brian was saying it should be a choice. Kinda disappointed in Doocy but not surprised anymore. People I've known all my life that I thought had common sense have totally fallen for the lies spewed out every day 24/7 on the boob tube.

Here's a problem I have with all of this, who is reporting these numbers? Literally who??? White hats need inside eyes at the hospitals and they need names to go with those numbers. It sounds invasive from a privacy perspective but we're in an information blackout because they can report whatever they want and you just have to take their word for it. And how much credit does their word have these days??? The people need cold hard verification not dated stock shots of ICU's on the news.

Just wondering, I am 61 years old and received vaccinations when I was a child. I know of no bad side effects from them. But the vaccines children get now and even my son's age group from the late 70s early 80s on, maybe they were different. I've always wondered why so many children, especially boys, now have ADD, asthma, autism, allergies? Why are so many young people and older people having issues with diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's, hormone disorders, autoimmune problems. I only remember 2 people in my youth that had asthma and all they had was a spray you bought OTC. My question is did they change something up in the vaccines or our food? The last time I took a vaccine was in the early 80s, flu shot. It made me feel awful so I've never taken another one. Same for my mother. She said she will never take another one.
