Realistic Pep Talk: Bill Whittle’s Radical, Unpopular Coronavirus Crisis Theory
byVanderleunonApril 8, 2020
Bill Whittle –Idealistic, realistic, informed and articulate. You need, you really, really need to give this man an hour and a half of your time today.
Bill Whittle speaks for me, FINALLY someone I agree with 100%.
Thanks for sharing Gerard, very… VERY much appreciated.

As much as I admire Bill Whittle, for many of the reasons you articulate in your intro, after watching 15 minutes of that video, I shut it down, without learning a dang thing except that he admires Kinsa Smart Thermometers and the data they produce, and that he does not think President Trump is a nitwit. Whittle would better serve those who are interested in his theory by laying it out in less than 15 minutes, and providing links to support his theory for his listeners to delve into themselves. Has Whittle never heard of the book “The One Minute Manager”? If it takes an hour and a half to explain something, something is wrong with the theory beyond mere loquaciousness. How about a synopsis, Gerard.
I like Whittle but no, I don’t buy the whole cloth; What everybody’s doing is the best they can? 25-35 million bucks for the Kennedy Center? Reporting any death as winnie the flu caused if the corpse had COVID or even possibly had COVID? Why yes it appears social distancing works to reduce infection but such has, possible damaging downsides. No a respected epidemiologist can’t say a medication is effective before testing with controls, which means 6-8 months down the road at least, -but he can say he doesn’t know and welcome date provided by practitioners using same in the field. Are the NY Governor and the NYC mayor doing the best they can or are they providing inflated data to support their party’s aim and or more federal funds entering their area? DamnedifIknow.
I’m not faulting Bill nor the posters here that agree with him 100%, I just not in that camp.

Bill Whittle was one of the clearest and most reasonable voices post 9/11. He continues to be so. I’m cynical enough that on most days you could sharpen a knife on my attitude. This talk has caused me to look at some things differently. It has reduced much, if not all of my cynicism for now. This was tonic.

After all, It’s not as if any American doctors need them is it?

I take Mr. Whittle with a grain of salt since 2015, when I discovered in an episode of Stratosphere Lounge that he wanted to detonate a grenade between 9/11 Truthers’ legs and hoped they die in a fire. He’s certainly entitled to his opinion, but he’s not one to question a narrative. And I like Trump, that has nothing to do with it.

Venlet’s right. I’ve watched this guy a couple times and it’s as if he never even views his vids after the fact. He wastes a lot of time and I just don’t have much time to waste any more. So thanks John for the heads up.

Shorter Whittle: Most people involved in this are doing the best that they can, and it appears to be working in that the chart suggests new infections are slowing greatly. Fauci is trying, Trump is trying, Cuomo is trying, even whatsisname in California is trying (and may be succeeding, but no data from the homeless cities).
Yes, there is politics operating around the edges. The media have not only failed, they are doing their best to sabotage things. There have been a few (very few) examples of stupidity like trying to arrest paddleboarders or preachers, but really, this is not happening much. So park the cynicism, as things appear to be going okay, and we’ll get through this.

Oh, and if you’ve never seen or listened to Whittle’s What We Saw series on the moon landings, or his current one on the Cold War, they are well worth the time. When he’s operating on script, his presentation is tight and appealing. These days he’s doing two or three off-the-cuff videos a day and yeah, he can ramble some.

This vid, a documentary on the epidemiology of CV-19, an apparent creation by the ChiComs; you know the bff’s of Biden and a few other of our leftist political POS.
I received it from a bff and because it is brand, spanking new it should be shared with Senators and Congress people who were elected and granted some level of political swat, along with the insistence that they actually sit down and watch the thing.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Lament for the Rohirrim
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
Ferreya
Song of Myself
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

from Canto CXV BY EZRA POUND
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

I agree with Bill Whittle, and I am glad he said this. My trust in his sound judgment and sanity, already high, is confirmed.
