Science for Hire

 

Last evening my younger brother and I watched an especially good double-episode of Chicago PD. The two episodes were the last of season eight ─ specifically, episodes 15 ("The Right Thing") and 16 ("The Other Side").

My brother had come home an hour or so earlier than usual, so we had extra T.V. time. And since due to how I rotate the T.V. series that we watch, it might be close to two weeks before we would have gotten around to watching the second and concluding episode.  

That earlier start on T.V. with my brother resulted in me have three cans of the strong (8% alcohol) malt that I do my best to keep in stock for myself.

Anyway, returning to the two episodes, I am one of those who believes that there are evil people who do not deserve to be kept among us ─ not even in a prison for life. 

I was wholly sympathetic with Sergeant Hank Voight's intentions regarding the murderous 'kingpin', so the episode was satisfying for me in its conclusion. And this is what disgusts me about the fake angst DC's T.V. superheroes supposedly experience at the mere thought of even accidentally taking the life of an incorrigible murderous monster. Sure, those superheroes may maim and kill untold numbers of the main villain's henchmen when attempting to capture that main villain, but that villain must always be coddled over those henchmen ─ somehow, those underlings are overlooked as also being human beings.

DC is so fake.

By the way, actor Jason Beghe is excellent as Sergeant Voight. I cannot imagine anyone besting him in the role.

This morning we of course watched different fare on T.V., albeit once again it was made possible through our Android TV Box. 

I was pleased when my brother requested that we continue with the 1¾-hour video that we had broken from yesterday after just 40 minutes due to how late into the morning it was taking us that day: Full Episode #54: Beating Covid in the Courts. It had been uploaded by Vaccine Safety Research Foundation four days ago to Rumble.  

Next I lined up a two-hour documentary uploaded by GaryNullFilmLibrary to Rumble on October 11: Science for Hire - A Gary Null Production.

Science for Hire takes us on a journey through the most critical scientific issues that directly affect our health and well-being, shedding light on the hidden secrets of the scientific, pharmaceutical, and military industrial complexes. Following a long history of systemic corruption across medical organizations and schools, scientific publications and federal regulatory agencies, we enter a world where pseudo-science and misinformation rules.

Billions of dollars are spent to manipulate and buy the allegiance of elected officials and the media. Those who speak up against modern science's culture of corruption risk having their careers destroyed. Governments operate in lockstep with the pharmaceutical ambitions to erect an unregulated global regime, a "Great Reset," that will dictate what we can eat, what medical interventions are permitted and banned, and the rewards and punishments that legislate our choices.

Science for Hire describes a broken system and offers hard hitting solutions to spark clarion calls to take heed of the realities facing humanity today. 

This was excellent. 

And that is all I will report on concerning T.V. fare.

With the colder weather, lately I have been noticing a major die-off of wasps outside my wife's bedroom window (we have separate bedrooms). Some have managed to work their way into her bedroom in the past, squeezing by the window screen when she has had her window open.

But lately, she has had the window primarily closed. 

There has to be a wasp nest somewhere under the eave that projects out just above her window. Just below her window is the roof of our car port. Lately, I have seen wasp corpses littering the car port roof, and a small platform just outside of her window that I suppose may be for purposes of placing ... well, something. A bird feeder? A plant? A bird cage? Who knows ─ it was there when my brother and I bought the house over 20 years ago.

A few wasps have clung to the window screen, too cold to fly anymore. And just today, two managed to work themselves inside the screen, although the window was closed. I opened it to investigate, and the poor things are so torpid that they could barely move ─ forget about flying.

Sure, I could leave the window ajar ─ they both responded to the warmth coming from the bedroom. But to what end? What can I do with them?

I could put them into a container and take them outside to dump onto the cold, damp ground ─ that would probably finish them off quite quickly, especially once it became dark and so much colder.

Or I could keep them in a container to see if they could survive the coming Winter and the worst of the early Spring. However, if they fully revived and regained their energy, they would want to fly, wouldn't they?

I could keep a small amount of water in the container, and occasionally offer them bits of some sweet and juicy fruit ─ I expect that they would require more nutrition than what a diet of honey would yield. 

However, is it worth the effort? Would they live within the confines of a container for the next half year?

And even if they did, what then? Unless their home nest was revived due to a queen that survived the Winter, they would have nowhere to go.

Confessedly, I do feel some guilt for just turning my back on the pair and shutting the window on them. It is going to be freezing tonight, I bet. They might be the last drone survivors of their colony.

I doubt anyone ever reads my posts ─ let alone anyone with any experience with a project like this. 

It is dark as I type these words ─ I will check the window screen tomorrow and see if there is any sign of clinging wasp life.

Here in the Pacific Time Zone of western Canada, we had the time change last night that ended Pacific Daylight Time and began Pacific Standard Time. Consequently, it is now dark much earlier in the latter day, but we were 'given' an advance of daylight for the mornings.

I happen to like the darkness of mornings, so I am no fan of this loss of gloom.

I have one of my very early a.m. walks scheduled for overnight, but I am considering scrapping it in favour of an errand I feel that I should make ─ a visit to the local Service Canada offices two miles from here. I do not drive, so I would need to walk; and the offices open at 8:30 a.m. 

I have two purposes for the visit.

Nevertheless, the reason I have these overnight walks instead of during the day is because I detest being abroad in the busy daytime world. Thus, I feel myself in something of a quandary.

I am going to have to make a decision by bedtime.

With that said, I am going to end this post, for it is already after 7:30 p.m. and I still have to make a post in my private blog.
