@raphjd said in NY State Supreme Court sides with Project Veritas against NYT: The NY State Supreme Court has sided with Project Veritas in their lawsuit against the New York Times. This ruling allows the lawsuit to go ahead. The case hinges on whether the NYT used dishonest tactics by claiming the article is opinion, after portraying it as fact. Apparently, the case law is clearly on the side of PV on this topic. Also, the various appeals by NYT in this case, the judges have sided with PV. NYT is citing the law on anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) to prevent this lawsuit. Every court ruling so far, in this case, the judges sided with PV, stating that the lawsuit has nothing to do with SLAPP, but rather "cloaking opinion as fact in an attempt to harm another party". Make no mistake, the courts have not ruled that PV is correct in the case, but that that is what the lawsuit claims, which makes it a legal lawsuit regardless of SLAPP. Great post! No hyperbole, no inexplicable sense of outrage... just the facts! And I especially appreciated the last point of clarification: that the PV suit can go forward is not an indication of the validity of their case, only that the issue is a relevant one and both sides need to be heard. IMHO the NYT gets full of itself at times... being brought down a peg would not be a bad thing! Mind you, I do not agree with PV's tactics - and I'm frankly shocked that there hasn't been a liberal counter-punch to it - but that doesn't mean the NYT didn't act wrongly here...

@manhandler re: Sydney - it was actually the other way ariound 140 were UNvaccinated - he got it wrong and a few secs later apologised and corrected himself

@bi4smooth You still have your head up Fauci's ass making excuses for him, that is dedication. How does Fauci's shit taste?

@bi4smooth AH, we excuse Fauci's antics over the last few decades. You are still ignoring and/or excusing what, as a scientist, Fauci has done. I bet you wish Fauci would plop out a turd or 2 while you are sucking his ass.

@raphjd said in CNN Participates in $200k Go Fund Me Scam Failing to Vet Childless “Single Mother”: @bi4smooth The same truth that allows you to use mental gymnastics to defend liberal policies at every turn while keeping your extreme TDS. Where was your indignation about all the blatantly fake "news" stories by your beloved liberal media? I don't remember you speaking out against CNN and Chris Cuomo faking him being on his death bed with C-19, only to be caught out fighting with a cyclist because Chris had to jog in the bicycle lane, because he's special. I don't remember you saying anything when CNN was caught faking the protest in London, thanks to the local businesses filming them faking it. You don't like conservative "spin" but you are silent on liberal lies. You are a moron: I said months ago that Gov "Kiss me" Cuomo in NY was in trouble, and while I could not care less about how CNN covered it, they did - and in the days BEFORE his resignation, they highlighted other DEMS asking him to resign and lambasted his stipid and ill-advised responses and counter-claims. I said months ago that Biden's wild-ass spending would spur inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970s - and its starting, and CNN (again, only because they're your own personal whipping-boy) seems to be agreeing: see for yourself Mind you, I didn't say that Cuomo was the worst Governor since George Wallace - just that he was an abuser and that his personal behavior was going to cost him his position. I also didn't make shit up, like claiming he repeatedly RAPED these women, or that he ENSLAVED them for his sexual games... no, just the facts: women made claims that he kissed them and groped them without clear consent, and that he TRIED to gain their consent to go further and failed.... but given the power imbalance, even his unwelcome touching and kissing was too much - and in the me-too world, it was enough to get him out. (Mind you: he was just following in the footsteps of his heroes: JFK was a serial molester, and we all know about BFClinton & his attraction to interns!) While we're at it, ALL of the MSM is after Biden for this Afghanistan thing - most are likening it to the Vietnam pullout! Doesn't that run counter to your claim that they basically suck his dick because he's a liberal?

I didn't join the Scottish program because there is no data deletion mandate for the program. Also, despite data protection laws, there is no protection that our data would not be used outside of the Track and Trace program and who would be able to access it. As we discussed, the Scottish government has lied before about protecting our data and then selling it on to 3rd parties or using it across governmental bodies in violation of the law.

well.. the time has arrived where people need no more education in life other than to know how many packets of ketchup to put in a paper bag with the french fries.

Interesting that both Hitler and Schwarznegger are from Austria.

@hubrys What exactly have I been a hypocrite about? I don't like Fauci and this experiment makes him even worse. He's sick.

You meant they have ordered 5 years worth of the vaccine. The vaccine has a very short shelf life, so there is no way they could stockpile it. In fact, when the vaccines in the USA were quite scarce and being rationed by priorities, there were often situations where people were getting the vaccine even though they did not qualify it because they had vaccine available that was close to it's expiration date. They had to either use it or throw it away.

@serenity So, you trust fact-checkers who list something as FALSE when it is DISPUTED. We've discussed the various dirty deeds of fact-checkers. Tim Pool on YouTube has done several videos showing how fact-checkers blatantly lie or in many cases distort the claims so they can call them False. You have every right to believe proven liars.

@raphjd said in CDC now says Vaccinated are the ones spreading the new Delta variant.: @bi4smooth Lots of people got C-19 and never knew it, unless now you are gonna claim that Fauci and the CDC are liars., but only on this topic. This applies to both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Hell, I could have had it 45 times before I was privileged enough to be allowed to get the shots. I could have had it 45 times since I got the vaccine. Only a fool doesn't believe that Bat Lady, Fauci and Bill Gate's Eco-Health created C-19 from the samples Bat Lady collected from that mine in 2009 after all the miners got sick. I do agree about the Indian variant being a mutated version of the one created in the lab. Well, depending on who you ask (and there isn't much evidence to back up either story - the Chinese have pretty well scorched the Earth trying to make sure we never know... which arguably might lean (even heavily) towards the man-made-accidental-release theory), the original COVID-19 was a man-made variant, or a nature-made variant... of a virus that Mother Nature put here first. Still, regardless of the origin of the FIRST one, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, & Delta variants were all NATURE made... and you can't turn off Mother Nature, and she's a real bitch when it comes to making living things stronger/faster/better! And now, there's a new Lambda variant - they don't know much about it yet, but theoretically it could make Delta (which is the one responsible for the re-ignition of the pandemic) look like childs-play. (It could theoretically also be more like the others: Original, Alpha, Beta, etc...) Only time will tell. What we DO know is that Mother Nature is still hard at work trying to create a COVID-19 that successfully defends itself against the immune responses generated by the COVID-19 vaccines... and WHEN she succeeds, we start the vaccine development process all over again - and until we get new vaccines against these new viruses, we'll be helpless (and dying). In the meantime, I mask up when I'm in public... because, whether I'm vaxxed up or not, I don't want this bug in me! And I live in a hot-spot filled with "it's a freedom issue" idiots and assholes. What can I say: we're home to "Florida Man" and it's showing! One last thing: studies have shown that immunity from the original COVID-19 infection (derived from getting it - and, presumably, surviving it) does little to protect you against the Delta variant... your body's NATURAL immune response from that strain doesn't recognize the Delta variant as a different verse to the same song. Likewise the immunity derived from the AZ & J&J vaccines (which are based on COVID-19 DNA) are significantly reduced against the Delta variant. However, immunity derived from the mRNA vaccines seems to be still significantly effective against Delta - albeit not AS effective as against the original - but that is possibly because the Delta is so much more aggressive and virulent than the original to begin with... Regardless, the exciting thing about all of this is the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines and their ability to trigger our immune systems to attack specific proteins... this could be used to treat HIV (its original intended target), some cancers, possibly even sickle-cell and leukemia! The research is new - and therefore, we shouldn't get our hopes up too much... but the efficacy of the mRNA against COVID-19 was expected to be in the 60-70% range... they never DREAMED it'd be in the 95-97% range (what it was against the original COVID-19 strain).... I've been saying for several years now: my grandchildren are going to live in wonderful (or possibly frightening) times: we're unlocking medicine and material science unlike any other time in human history... used properly, we could see many diseases and ailments completely wiped out! Used improperly, we could have new "tools of warfare" that will scare the pants off of you! We already live in interesting times (Chinese curse being the origin of that statement)... and they're not looking like they're going to get boring any time soon! That said, I think we should think about storing more than plant DNA in those arctic vaults... we should start storing significant human knowledge up there. IMHO, we're going to eventually kill ourselves - the human race will extinguish itself completely, or at least knock ourselves back to the stone-age. We should leave something for the "next thing" to get some of our technology: tools, materials - maybe not nuclear physics tho LOL! For a reference, read Larry Niven's old SciFi book: The Mote in God's Eye... a really good read, if you ask me! (advances in material science could include a frictionless toilet! LOL) Correction: The Mote in God's Eye was a collaboration between Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle (link)

@bi4smooth Agreed.
