After it has come to light that “Black Lives Matter” is a marxist – and blatantly racist – organization that could not care less about equal opportunity but that, according to rally signs exhibited by “activists”, simply wants to “kill” or “eat the rich”, now the climate change scare appears to be crumbling to pieces as well: It appears we now have the Edward Snowden of climate change alarmism.
“I went through a year-long organising programme … . We spent the year reading, anything from Marx, to Lenin, to Mao … “. All the while Karl Marx appears himself to have been anything but fond of black people.

The stock market continues to rise as we had written Thursday night was more likely than not, which does not quite seem logical given the headlines dominating world news.

While we are currently working on other urgent matters and have hardly any time to follow up on the the throat disinfection complex, let us – very briefly – make the following additional comments with regard to the study underway in Kentucky.

A group of researchers from the UK (Cardiff and Cambridge), the US (Denver, Colorado), Spain (Barcelona), and Canada (Ottawa) has now picked up the idea we have put forward almost exactly two months ago for preventive throat disinfection with virucidal agents that are known to be effective against coronaviruses and safe to use in the throat. The WHO should now even more seriously consider including it in its recommendations.
