Oklahoma hospital system dirtbags attempt a Hail Mary with BS press conference

Posted on      by     

Press conference today with four OK health systems reps. You already know what they said:

“No hospital is adequately equipped for the scenario that this pandemic has forced us into, which is that so many people with one condition – COVID-19 – are coming to the hospital needing a very high level of care,” said Bahar Malakouti, M.D., a neurohospitalist and Stroke Medical Director at Mercy Hospital. “Unless something changes, the care we provide to all of our patients will be compromised. Our healthcare providers and staff are under incredible pressure right now.”

Hey Malakouti, here’s ICU data for your hospital. Notice that Mercy stopped reporting 142 ICU beds back in November of last year. That’s because, in the midst of a ginned up crisis, hospitals were allowed to change the way they calculated occupancy. Why in gods name were they allowed to fiddle with the numbers in such a deceptive way? You’ve got plenty of unused, licensed ICU beds, so pleae, STFU.

Here’s ICU occupancy for the state over the course of the entire “pandemic”:

Oklahoma’s hospitals are overrun?

If we’re still falling for this garbage then maybe we deserve it. These white collar thugs have all the media connections. They make their calls, set a date, fabricate their numbers, and then deliver them in somber tones before their kept stenographers. The public buys it, and local governments act on it.

Afghanistan: 2 decades’ worth of vain sacrifices

Posted on      by     

We all knew that this would be the end result of the Afghan war: total chaos as the Taliban overruns cities once occupied by the US military. The entire nation suddenly realizing that the thousands of Americans who died there, the hundreds of thousands maimed there, made their sacrifices in vain. It’s not surprising, the image that we’re seeing of Kabul, of the approaching Taliban. It’s their country, not ours. The occupation was an opportunity for generals to earn medals, and weapons manufacturers to earn profits. Nothing more. It was never meant to end. There was never a goal. The lost limbs, the suicides, the absent parents, the wasted billions, the wasted years, the innocent Afghan lives lost, those sacrifices never served a greater goal or higher purpose. It was a total racket. As ugly as it is to watch it end, it had to end. It’s painful to realize that the first war that our nation begun in the aftermath of 9/11 so quickly transformed into a lie, but we have to face reality. We never demanded an end to it, we never cared. That war never affected us.

And now you can see parallels between the Afghan war and our domestic war on COVID. All the opinion moulders have no skin in the game. Their paycheck isn’t threatened, their kids’ private school isn’t closed. The war on COVID has become an endless war, public health authorities have become the generals, hospitals have become the “front line”, and we the little people have become the collateral. Evil thrives in an environment of apathy. Apathy allowed Afghanistan to endure for two decades. We must break free of this apathy, this slovenly acceptance of evil, and put an end to it, before the war on COVID becomes generational.
