The only thing that helps is working code and #webcats

I was not expecting to see this:
"How #RFKJr Beat Addiction With #CarlJung !"
Very interesting interview on Jimmy Dore's show.
Roger Ailes interviews @Robert F. Kennedy Jr
@RobertKennedyJr in May 1995.
This story popps up in a number of interviews of #RFKJr.
View quoted note →
#JimmyDore gives @Robert F. Kennedy Jr
@RobertKennedyJr an opportunity to report on his 3 days investigation of the Mexico Border problem. A story that is rich with many potential Hollywood movies.
It is paradoxical that the current US administration which was so adamant about locking people up to protect them from a foreign virus, is not serious about national borders.
There is a quite obvious analogical structures:
- National Border <-> human and animal skin
- Border Police and internal police <-> white blood cells (T-cells, B-cells, Natural Killer Cells... )
- intelligence organisations <-> immune systems (that learn from experience)
In both cases, there is a possibility of overreaction: puritanism can lead one to reject all foreign bodies, where we rely on many of them to function, but too much openness leads to internal organ destruction.
Still, on the #Covid19 front, the current #Biden administration as well as most nations around the world, reacted to a biological virus in a completely puritanical way, trying to install borders at all places, testing people for germs, forcing them to stay home, way beyond the danger of the virus and the cost those measures had for society.
So why refuse to have any security at the national borders, then?
