Doctor recovering from COVID-19 reveals HIV drugs treatment, willing to donate 
plasma

Less than half a month after recovering from novel coronavirus pneumonia, Wang 
Guangfa, a leading Chinese respiratory expert at Peking University First 
Hospital in Beijing, was back in the fight against the epidemic.

Under the recommendation of his doctor, Wang attempted HIV drugs that combines 
lopinavir with a low dose of ritonavir to fight against the novel coronavirus. 
The treatment was a success. With mild symptoms, Wang's fever went down after 
only two days at the hospital.

"In the initial media interviews after my discharge, I was hesitant to disclose 
the name of the drug I was using to the public for fear that it would be 
misleading as the drug had not yet been proven by researchers to work on every 
patient," Wang told the Global Times. "I do not encourage the patients to use 
drugs blindly over the fear that adverse reactions of drugs may further damage 
patients' health when the efficacy is unknown."

"But soon I was thinking that disclosing the drugs might give medical 
researchers a new treatment idea and give other patients more options and 
higher chance to combat the deadly coronavirus," he said.

After Wang's successful case, many Chinese drug research teams started 
repurposing the HIV drug in treatment of the novel coronavirus. Existing 
HIV/AIDS medication has now been widely used in clinical treatment for infected 
patients.(snip)

FWIW: the US of A has been most generous, taking in people from all over 
the globe, who want to become Americans, and who believe in the American 
Dream.   The last 2 phrases are critical.


We have NO obligation to take in those who want to take over the country.

There is NO other country in the history of mankind that has been so

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

..
Now, in what might be the largest scientific fraud ever uncovered, NASA and the 
NOAA have been caught red-handed altering historical temperature data to 
produce a climate change narrative that defies reality. This finding, 
originally documented on the Real Science website, is detailed here.

We now know that historical temperature data for the continental United States 
were deliberately altered by NASA and NOAA scientists in a 
politically-motivated attempt to rewrite history and claim global warming is 
causing U.S. temperatures to trend upward. The data actually show that we are 
in a cooling trend, not a warming trend (see charts below).

This story is starting to break worldwide right now across the media, with The 
Telegraph now reporting (1), NOAA's US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) 
has been 'adjusting' its record by replacing real temperatures with data 
'fabricated' by computer models.

Because the actual historical temperature record doesn't fit the frenzied, 
doomsday narrative of global warming being fronted today on the political 
stage, the data were simply altered using computer models and then published 
as fact.

Here's the proof of the climate change fraud
Here's the chart of U.S. temperatures published by NASA in 1999. It shows the 
highest temperatures actually occurred in the 1930's, followed by a cooling 
trend ramping downward to the year 2000:



The authenticity of this chart is not in question. It is published by James 
Hansen on NASA's website. (2) On that page, Hansen even wrote, Empirical 
evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed 
precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought.

After the Obama administration took office, however, and started pushing the 
global warming narrative for political purposes, NASA was directed to alter its 
historical data in order to reverse the cooling trend and show a warming trend 
instead. This was accomplished using climate-modeling computers that simply 
fabricated the data the researchers wished to see instead of what was actually 
happening in the real world.

Using the exact same data found in the chart shown above (with a few years of 
additional data after 2000), NASA managed to misleadingly distort the chart to 
depict the appearance of global warming:



The authenticity of this chart is also not in question. It can be found right 
now on NASA's servers. (4)

This new, altered chart shows that historical data -- especially the severe 
heat and droughts experienced in the 1930's -- are now systematically 
suppressed to make them appear cooler than they really were. At the same time, 
temperature data from the 1970's to 2010 are strongly exaggerated to make them 
appear warmer than they really were.

This is a clear case of scientific fraud being carried out on a grand scale in 
order to deceive the entire world about global warming.

EPA data also confirm the global warming hoax
What's even more interesting is that even the EPA's Heat Wave Index data 
further support the notion that the U.S. was far hotter in the 1930's than it 
is today.

The following chart, published on the EPA.gov website (4), clearly shows 
modern-day heat waves are far smaller and less severe than those of the 1930's. 
In fact, the seemingly extreme heat waves of the last few years were no worse 
than those of the early 1900's or 1950's.



Short-sighted agricultural practices cause more global warming than CO2
Seeing these charts, you might wonder how the extremely high temperatures of 
the 1930's came about. Were we releasing too much CO2 by burning fossil fuels?

Nope. That entire episode of massive warming and drought was caused by 
conventional agricultural practices that clear-cut forests, poisoned the soils 
with chemicals and plowed the top soil away. Lacking trees to retain moisture, 
areas that were once thriving plains, grasslands and forests turned to desert. 
Suddenly, the cooling effects of moisture transpiration from healthy plant 
ecosystems was lost, causing extreme temperatures and deadly drought.

Shortsighted agricultural practices, in other words, really did cause 
warming, while a restoration of a more natural ecosystem reversed the trend 
and cooled the region.

Reforestation is the answer
This brings us to the simple, obvious solution to all this. If you want to cool 
the planet, focus on reforestation efforts. If you want to retain moisture and 
keep your soils alive, you need diverse plant-based ecosystems, not clear-cut 
fields running monoculture operations.

Forests act like sponges that soak up rainwater, and then they turn around and 
slowly release that water back into the air, moisturizing the atmosphere and 
keeping humidity levels high enough to support other nearby grasses, shrubs and 
plants. When you clear-cut forests -- as has been done all across the world to 
make room for mechanized agriculture -- you effectively raise temperatures 

Re: [MBZ] FWIW

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

This is trash promulgated by a non-scientist with a right wing agenda.

You should know better than to parrot viral garbage racing around the  
internet before you do due diligence.


Quite a bit of data is missing, has obvious errors, or cannot be  
explained by known weather phenomena, and the data from the US is  
vastly better than most of the rest of the planet.  In order to model  
and interpret, it can be necessary to correct known errors (a  
thermometer that read high or low all the time, for instance,and was  
known to by comparison) and to correct for errors when someone  
reported a temperature greatly different than surrounding ones with no  
explaination, etc.  Data can be full of errors, after all.


All the data from before the advent of weather satellites is from  
written records, often by amateurs or farmers who may or may not  
(probably mostly not) have had certified thermometers known to read  
accurately, and there has never been a real climate data system  
designed to collect the pertinent data, and even if there were one  
now, it certainly did not exist prior to the 1970s.


The last major heat wave we had was quite similar here to the 1930s --  
my mother lived through it.  Just a couple degrees and a couple days  
short of the record set then.


Climate scientists are well aware of the need to interpolate missing  
data, corrections necessary due to what are very obviously reporting  
errors, and so forth, and that information is included in their  
research papers if you bother to read them and understand them.


Some layman nut writing under an assumed name shouldn't get the time  
of day, let alone credibility.


I strongly suggest you learn some climate science and scientific  
methodology before you criticize someone's work.


Reminds me of the climate scientist who was blowing some years back  
that in HIS part of climate research (the upper reaches of the  
stratosphere) the temperatures were not changing and therefore there  
was no climate change.  Only surface temps were changing, so he  
assumed (and bloviated) that the CLIMATE couldn't be changing because  
above 100,000 ft altitude he wasn't seeing anything.  Fine if you live  
on the edges of space, I suppose, but all the humans I know of live  
below 12,000 ft altitude and on the physical surface of the planet,  
which he agreed WAS heating up.


This sort of nonsense gives science a bad name, which is, after all,  
the entire and complete point of all the nonsense you referred to.   
Once we can discredit science we can get right back to Divine Right  
and get to persecuting heretics while stealing everything.

Incidentally, the handle of the hockey stick was produced by Mann using
tree rings, which in itself is wrong as they represent precipitation not
temperature. When the tree ring trend they produced went down in the 20th
century they tacked on the modern record produced by Jones (hide the
decline). Jones record became the blade of the hockey stick and shows the
up turn on this graph. 

In his original work Jones claimed the temperature increased 0.6°C in
approximately 120 years and that this was unnatural because it exceeded
any natural temperature record increase. The ice core record shows that
is false. More troubling, the Jones data was 0.6°C ±0.2°C or a ±33%
percent error range. When Warwick Hughes asked for Jones' data he
replied, on 21, February 2005. We have 25 or so years invested in the
work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to
try and find something wrong with it. Then Jones reported, what I think
we will eventually hear from Mann, that he lost the data.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/feb/15/phil-jones-lost-weather-data
Notice he says it is not acceptable, but he was never held accountable. 

Yes, the Mann or more correctly the Phil Jones and IPCC modern record up
turn in the 20th century is insignificant in the 10,000 Holocene record.
The reason for Mann's hockey stick was to support the argument that
todays temperatures are the highest ever. We pointed out that the
Medieval Warm Period, around 1000 on the graph was warmer, so Mann set
out to get rid of it. It wasn't just Mann, but the entire gang at the
Climatic Research Unit (CRU), most of who were on the IPCC. One was
Jonathan Overpeck, who in an email to David Deming said.We have to get
rid of the Medieval Warm Period. Deming gave this as sworn testimony to
the Congress. http://www.epw.senate.gov/hearing_statements.cfm?id=266543 

When we argued that the world was warmer for most of the Holocene as the
Greenland graph shows, the argument made by NASA (Hansen), NOAA and
especially the CRU people was that it was only warmer in summer
temperatures. What rubbish.

The evidence isn't just the ice core record. Here is a photograph of a
White Spruce some 100 km north of the current tree line. It was taken by
Professor Ritchie and first appeared in Lamb's Volume 2. I obtained
permission from Professor Ritchie to use it in articles I was writing.
Here the photo is attached to a similar Holocene graph to the one
produced by NOAA that I used in a powerpoint presentation.. 

Notice the temperature was at least 2°C warmer than at present, yet the
IPCC say this would be a catastrophic warming. The question is how did
the polar bears survive the Holocene, because there was certainly
considerably less ice. 

So many lies, so much terrible science. So little accountability

That is probably true.
However, there are things that can be accomplished man-to-man against
any of this bs - and that is the story that needs to be told, not some
political non-science or science argument.  Simply, we use too much
junk and we can live quite will without so much junk.  Forget about
the usual semantics that gets nobody anywhere except for polarizing
politics - let's get it together as people, look at each other as
persons, treat each other with kindness, share with each other instead
of pillaging anywhere and everywhere, do more with less.  The usual
NewEngland saw comes in handy - use it up, wear it out, make it do, or
do without.  We should be at the do without stage.

  You should know better than to parrot viral garbage racing around the
  internet before you do due diligence.

 Actually your vitriolic rant is what is garbage. I am a scientist and am
 on an email list of many leading scientists who discuss the
 mis-information behind the climate hysteria, not the least of which is
 that the climate models are increasingly divergent from what is actually
 happening.

 From a posting on that list,
 --

 Incidentally, the handle of the hockey stick was produced by Mann using
 tree rings, which in itself is wrong as they represent precipitation not
 temperature. When the tree ring trend they produced went down in the 20th
 century they tacked on the modern record produced by Jones (hide the
 decline). Jones record became the blade of the hockey stick and shows the
 up turn on this graph.

 In his original work Jones claimed the temperature increased 0.6°C in
 approximately 120 years and that this was unnatural because it exceeded
 any natural temperature record increase. The ice core record shows that
 is false. More troubling, the Jones data was 0.6°C ±0.2°C or a ±33%
 percent error range. When Warwick Hughes asked for Jones' data he
 replied, on 21, February 2005. We have 25 or so years invested in the
 work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to
 try and find something wrong with it. Then Jones reported, what I think
 we will eventually hear from Mann, that he lost the data.

 http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/feb/15/phil-jones-lost-weather-data
 Notice he says it is not acceptable, but he was never held accountable.

 Yes, the Mann or more correctly the Phil Jones and IPCC modern record up
 turn in the 20th century is insignificant in the 10,000 Holocene record.
 The reason for Mann's hockey stick was to support the argument that
 todays temperatures are the highest ever. We pointed out that the
 Medieval Warm Period, around 1000 on the graph was warmer, so Mann set
 out to get rid of it. It wasn't just Mann, but the entire gang at the
 Climatic Research Unit (CRU), most of who were on the IPCC. One was
 Jonathan Overpeck, who in an email to David Deming said.We have to get
 rid of the Medieval Warm Period. Deming gave this as sworn testimony to
 the Congress. http://www.epw.senate.gov/hearing_statements.cfm?id=266543

 When we argued that the world was warmer for most of the Holocene as the
 Greenland graph shows, the argument made by NASA (Hansen), NOAA and
 especially the CRU people was that it was only warmer in summer
 temperatures. What rubbish.

 The evidence isn't just the ice core record. Here is a photograph of a
 White Spruce some 100 km north of the current tree line. It was taken by
 Professor Ritchie and first appeared in Lamb's Volume 2. I obtained
 permission from Professor Ritchie to use it in articles I was writing.
 Here the photo is attached to a similar Holocene graph to the one
 produced by NOAA that I used in a powerpoint presentation..

 Notice the temperature was at least 2°C warmer than at present, yet the
 IPCC say this would be a catastrophic warming. The question is how did
 the polar bears survive the Holocene, because there was certainly
 considerably less ice.

 So many lies, so much terrible science. So little accountability

 -

 The billions of dollars of funding that has been poured into supporting
 the hysteria has corrupted many scientists and degraded science.

[MBZ] FWIW: Ebay insecurity

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

eBay security flaw has existed for months

Buy it now button Listings clicked on eBay automatically directed users to 
malicious websites

A flaw that has exposed eBay customers to malicious websites has been affecting 
the site since at least February, the BBC has found.

Earlier this week it was revealed how clicking on some listings automatically 
redirected users to the harmful sites.

EBay removed several posts, but said it was an isolated incident.

But the BBC has since found multiple listings, from multiple users, exploiting 
the same vulnerability.

Furthermore, several readers contacted the BBC detailing complaints they had 
made to the site.

In a statement, eBay said it had a dedicated team working on security, but that 
criminals intentionally adapt their code and tactics to try to stay ahead of 
the most sophisticated security systems.
'Big problem'

A transcript from February this year showed user Paul Castle explaining the 
issue, in detail, to eBay support staff.

I was just browsing in Digital Cameras and came across a password-harvesting 
scam, wrote Mr Castle during the online chat with eBay support staff.

Clicking on the listing link, Mr Castle explained, transfers immediately to a 
password harvest scam page.

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29279213

Note:  I couldn't sign in to Ebay yesterday without changing my sign in name 
and password.  Ebay assigned me a new name! ROFL!

The 1st problem was believing what the politicians were telling 
people.   When the politicians were selling the 16th Amendment, it was 
said it would only apply to the super rich which quickly came to 
include a progressive tax on all income from all sources.  At the time, 
there was a general dislike of those who had made huge fortunes as the 
country grew exponentially.   I assume the media stirred those feelings 
to increase the public's  dislike.   Then of course, they needed the IRS 
(who have extraordinary policing powers)  to police the population  
beat the bushes -  and the public's collective butt -  for every last 
penny.
Just think how nice it would be to have a national sales tax with 
no more under the table economies -  every sale would be taxed and 
there would be no deductions (the real estate agents will howl) but the 
people will all have more money to work with - especially the middle class.


All IMNSHO of course   ;-)

program, until one day America will be a socialist nation. Without knowing
how it happened
He went on to say: I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate for

As was common during the Great Depression, Pete developed the art of 
story telling which often didn't adhere completely to the truth, so I 
can't vouch for the following story that he told us after the war, but 
it's still an intriguing tale about can-do American soldiers of that 
era.


One day during the war Petes CO told him that supplies were badly 
needed in one of the battle zones, it was his responsibility to get 
them there any way he could.
The only planes available were bombers that had been deadlined for 
various problems; being shot up, metal fatigue, etc.
Pete rounded up all the mechanics he could find and told them to patch 
up the derelicts as best they could into flying condition.


That night he sent out a Midnight Requisition Squad to liberate 
all the whiskey they could find.


The next day he invited a group of bomber pilots on R  R to a party 
that evening with promises of whiskey flowing like water. The party 
was a great success and the tipsy pilots had nearly all signed an 
agreement to deliver loads of much needed supplies the next day.
Needless to say, when the pilots were rousted out of bed the next 
morning with fierce hangovers and found that they had agreed to fly 
derelict bombers overloaded with munitions into one of the deadly 
battle areas, they were not happy.  But their sense of duty prevailed, 
they delivered the supplies, and all returned safely.


A few days later a top level British officer made a furious complaint 
to the U.S. high command that thieving American soldiers had broken 
into his private store room and stolen all his scotch whiskey.


Pete became known as the go-to guy if a job had to done one way or 
the other, and by the end of the war, he had become a colonel. He 
finished out his career as base personnel officer at MacDill AFB, 
Florida.

 As was common during the Great Depression, Pete developed the art of
 story telling which often didn't adhere completely to the truth, so I can't
 vouch for the following story that he told us after the war, but it's still
 an intriguing tale about can-do American soldiers of that era.

 One day during the war Petes CO told him that supplies were badly needed
 in one of the battle zones, it was his responsibility to get them there any
 way he could.
 The only planes available were bombers that had been deadlined for
 various problems; being shot up, metal fatigue, etc.
 Pete rounded up all the mechanics he could find and told them to patch up
 the derelicts as best they could into flying condition.

 That night he sent out a Midnight Requisition Squad to liberate all
 the whiskey they could find.

 The next day he invited a group of bomber pilots on R  R to a party that
 evening with promises of whiskey flowing like water. The party was a great
 success and the tipsy pilots had nearly all signed an agreement to deliver
 loads of much needed supplies the next day.
 Needless to say, when the pilots were rousted out of bed the next morning
 with fierce hangovers and found that they had agreed to fly derelict
 bombers overloaded with munitions into one of the deadly battle areas, they
 were not happy.  But their sense of duty prevailed, they delivered the
 supplies, and all returned safely.

 A few days later a top level British officer made a furious complaint to
 the U.S. high command that thieving American soldiers had broken into his
 private store room and stolen all his scotch whiskey.

 Pete became known as the go-to guy if a job had to done one way or the
 other, and by the end of the war, he had become a colonel. He finished out
 his career as base personnel officer at MacDill AFB, Florida.

At the risk of entering the uber verboten arena of political comment, I
urge note be taken of the social security law as original. Participation
[by law] is voluntary, all money paid in goes to a special trust fund to be
held for those who pay in to the fund and participate [voluntary].

Using the investment rule of 7, what would be the value of 1 dollar, held
in an interest bearing trust fund, for 40 years?

What happened to the trust fund? [hint... see LBJ] Without further
commentary, [by myself]  have we been quietly robbed?

[MBZ] FWIW A WW-2 TALE

[arche...@embarqmail.com]

My cousin Pete was a country boy who joined the Army Air Force during 
the 1930s depression and rose to the rank of supply master sargeant.  
When the buildup for ww-2 began, he became a logistics officer and was 
posted to Britain during the war.


As was common during the Great Depression, Pete developed the art of 
story telling which often didn't adhere completely to the truth, so I 
can't vouch for the following story that he told us after the war, but 
it's still an intriguing tale about can-do American soldiers of that era.

in one of the battle zones, it was his responsibility to get them there 
any way he could.
The only planes available were bombers that had been deadlined for

BLM went away today, because the protest happening there was becoming
a national security issue - something about too many people there in
SE Nevada.  My son landed at Mesquite, NV a month ago.
