The President of South Africa appeared on national TV to tell some lies in support of perpetuating destructive Covid malarkey. Out came the old chestnut that data support the effectiveness of past measures. Where is this magic data? 2/12

Similarly, that masks we are supposedly not wearing (though no data supports that allegation) have this magical property of preventing infection, again based on “data” that we are not privy to. Maskology. 3/12

He took the borked theory of asymptomatic transmission to a new level with the phrase “asymptomatic super-spreader events”. 4/12

The dodginess of the asymptomatic transmission theory is now common currency, for all with open eyes. 5/12

He cited every +ve PCR test as an instance of someone who’d contracted COVID-19, which is not even claimed by test manufacturers, & implying he still does not understand the basic difference between the virus, SARS CoV-2, & the disease, COVID-19. 6/12

This follows hot on the heels of his Minister of Health saying the new variant meant young people were at equal risk, implying a 1,000-fold increase in fatality. He had to walk back his claim, based on “anecdotes”, less than 48 hours later. 7/12

This is the same Minister of Health who speaks of people testing +ve for COVID-19 & who has formulated regulations referring to the rt-PCR test as a COVID-19 test, again failing to grasp the difference between the virus & the disease. 8/12

These are the same regulations that were implemented as part of "21 days to flatten the curve" some 277 days ago and had no flattening effect whatsoever. 9/12
9 months into the crisis, Government still hasn't produced a lockdown impact assessment. Why? The tyrannical regulations bear a cost in lives massively exceeding lives lost to COVID-19 via millions of lost jobs, health interventions & educations. 10/12

The President's lockdown is the greatest threat to SA lives. Not for billionaires & politicians who get paid through the crisis, but for the poor whose jobs are cut, who lack medical aid & whose kids don't have Zoom. 11/12
Ordinary people with an ounce of spine see through the absurdity of shutting down the whole country to protect a wealthy vulnerable minority. Be one of them. 12/12

1/10 With respect, multiple straw men here:
A) If you mean by "legally questionable" either that Senate is barred by constitution from trying an official impeached while in office, or that there are even very strong arguments against it, I have to differ...


2/10 Constitutional structure, precedent & any fair reading of original intent dictate that argument for jurisdiction is far stronger than argument against. On original intent, see

3/10 If you mean argument against jurisdiction is plausible, sure, it's plausible. It's just weak. In practical fact, Senate can try Trump now, find him guilty & disqualify him from future office if there are sufficient votes. And no court would presume to overturn that result

4/10 b) The argument from resources is awfully hard to take seriously. Fewer than a dozen House members act as Managers for a few weeks. They are staffed, as are Senators hearing case, by folks whose job it is to do stuff like this...

5/10 Yes, Senate floor time will be taken up. But it's past time for us to stop thinking of members of either house as feeble, fluttering, occupants of a nationally-funded convalescent home. There are nearly 500 of these people with 1000s of staff and a bunch of big buildings...
MISREPRESENTED CONTEXT

1. I am indeed disgusted with attempts to misrepresent and take out of context what I wrote on my blog yesterday.


2. Those who did that highlighted only one part of paragraph 12 which read: “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”

3. They stopped there and implied that I am promoting the massacre of the French.

4.If they had read d posting in its entirety & especially the subsequent sentence which read: “But by & large the Muslims hv not applied the “eye for an eye” law. Muslims don’t. The French shouldn’t. Instead the French should teach their people to respect other people’s feelings

5. Because of the spin and out of context presentation by those that picked up my posting, reports were made against me and I am accused of promoting violence etc… on Facebook and Twitter.
