I Want Just the News

In my day job, I have to look at the news every day and track it. I’m an analyst and trends and events can have huge impacts on my client’s businesses. So, everyday, I read the news and select a few stories to repost on the news section of our website/portal. A few years ago, finding news was relatively easy. CNN, BBC, Bloomberg – all these outlets published the news. Then, slowly but inexorably, I started to see that news was increasingly becoming opinion – often politically-biased opinion to boot. Around that time, the idea of ‘false news’ started to get talked about increasingly. I now think ‘false news’ is opinion masquerading as news. Of course, once the charge of false news was levelled people become keen to defend their opinion and so we were then introduced to so-called fact checking services…


A fact checking service I have discovered is anything but … it is a group with an opinion and a way to promote it. Facts are no longer relevant as in today’s society, it seems beliefs, feelings and agendas are where it is at. So, when an outlet starts using a fact-checking service, you can bet they are publishing opinion not news and need to validate their opinion over someone else’s. It’s great marketing but pure bollocks when it comes to establishing news.


My list of news sources slowly diminished over the last few years. I will not read CNN (Crap News Network), nor the BBC (British Bullshit Corp). Bloomberg (Gloomberg) is now a politically-biased ‘news’ organization especially since the silly candidacy of Bloomberg himself and his news organization’s admission of deliberate bias that followed. Reuters had been the last bastion of half decent factual news until recently and now it too has succumbed publishing opinion pieces purporting to be news and backing them up with a biased fact checking service.


Dear media. I want NEWS. I do not wish for the opinion of a 26-year old graduate of a left wing, post modernist indoctrination establishment giving me their parroted ideological views. I’m not interested in PC and trendy thinking. I want facts. It is easy to provide facts – balanced facts if you want to. Black and white. No opinion, no writer bias, no silly fact checking by right or left leaning services that are riddled with ideological opinions and biases.


And, while I am at it. Please do not tell me you are on the side of Science in a ‘news’ article. Science has no side as science is in the business of creating hypotheses which are then subject to outright criticism. Science is not in the business of proof. Certainly not ideological proof.

The Magical world of G. Michael Vasey – New Podcast Series!

In the very near future, I will be launching an all new podcast series called The Magical world of G. Michael Vasey (after this site basically!). In the podcasts, I will be focused on thoughts, views and evidence for the nature of reality. As both a PhD scientist and a trained Magician, I hope to bring some unique perspectives…..


The podcast will be an eclectic mix of things including;



True stories of the paranormal that I have collected over the years – read by myself,
Interviews with others in the field,
A poem or two about my own visions and thoughts about reality,
Perhaps an occasional guest read of true paranormal stories by someone like Darren Marlar of Weird Darkness fame using material from my audiobooks,
Readings from my books on magic and the creating reality
Whatever else seems to fit as I go along.

I aim to keep these under 30 minutes long at least initially as experience with professional podcasts (CTRMRadio) suggests this is an ideal length.


I will also use my own music – both songs I have recorded and eerie filler made on the fly….throughout the podcasts.


More news on the launch shortly.

Science Isn’t the Answer…

As I have said on many occasions in articles posted on my own blog and even here, my PdH studies were blessed by being guided by Prof. MJ Russell who went on to become a NASA researcher and only recently retired. He was head of the Department of Applied Geology for a period while I was doing my research. He had a real knack for creating hypotheses and creating models or concepts about how his hypothesis could be shown to be true or false. He often published short articles in Nature that would literally below your mind.


He taught me how to do objective science – and may others too. He taught me how to create hypotheses and then use them to make testable predictions. That to float these hypotheses by your peer group who would then literally throw stones at them in order to destroy them so that you had to go back to the evidence, facts, and record and start again. This is science. Science creates hypotheses. It doesn’t prove anything. Usually, any theory – no matter how accepted, is ultimately eventually destroyed. See Newton and also Einstein, for example.


So, to hear politicians and media quote science like it is some additional book in the Bible – religiously believed and infallible in the eyes of those believers – is honestly very upsetting, highly annoying and frankly – just symptomatic of an era in which people chose to believe rather than critically think. Whenever a newspaper has a headline “Scientists say…” I know that what is coming is a cherry picked and usually meaningless statistical study. That is not science. That is statistics. Statistics may or may not show a trend depending on whether all the factors involved in dictating the trend were truly considered – most often, that is easily debatable.


In fact, what now often is called science is not science as I understand it but post modernist science. This is essentially a form of politics in which the ‘scientist’ starts out with a particular view and then forces the data to fit the view irrespective of whether it is objectively defensible because politically it is deemed acceptable. Much of so called climate science falls into this bucket by the way which is why if you mention climate to me, I get very upset. If you mention the word ‘science’ along with climate, I foam at the mouth because were you to read the actual science – all of it, all sides etc., you would realize this hypothesis has been well and truly debunked. But politics dictates that we accept it as gospel and if we argue, we are ‘deniers’.


I’m glad to be a ‘denier’ for this makes me an objective scientist true to the principles I was taught. Science needs deniers, detractors and other opinions for without them it is no longer science but politics or even worse – religion.


The next time a politician or a journalist mentions Science – just realize they have no clue what Science is and, by making this claim, they embarrass themselves.


I was also delighted to find this article by a member of the Brazilian Academy of Science…. please read it and note its content.


 


The “science” of the Pandemic


During this pandemic, the term “science” has been used “ad nauseam”, that is, has been repeated to exhaustion: “Science, science, science”, “I’m pro-science”, “For from the science, through the science and to the science I guide my decisions and acts” and “I am, therefore, fully right to do so”. It is clear that the intention here is to lead all of us to the idea of ​​decisions based on something unquestionable and infallible, as scientific as law, as the law of gravity.


Groups of “science experts” or famous YouTube scientists, many of them still “beginners” in science, some of them with a minimal or no experience in fighting pandemics, are selected by the establishment and the media to give “scientific aura” for the lockdown and the condemnation of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as an ineffective drug; worse, as a deadly poison.


That disastrous apocalyptic simulations from the “Imperial College” – this pompous name that brings us to the idea of ​​a center of excellence of infallible, omnipotent and unquestionable knowledge, an “College of the Empire” – are being used to place everyone at home, and then, to compare data as being the absolute reference of the truth. “We did something and as a result, we reduced those many deaths. Therefore: ‘blessed be the science!’”.


But what kind of “science” is that to which they are appealing? And who, in the name of this “science”, would be allowed to speak? Science (I know that there are controversies, as scientists even debate on its meaning) is “the dispassionate search for the truth about the Universe and life”. But ironically, we seek truths that we don’t even know what those truths would be like, or where they would be found. For this reason, sometimes, ironically, even when scientists find a truth that is indeed true, yet they doubt that they have found it. We literally zigzag in the dark, searching for solutions to our problems. Therefore, we sometimes say that: “eating eggs is bad, it increases cholesterol”; and sometimes: “eggs are good, eat at ease”.


Richard Feynman put it this way: “Science is the culture of doubt”. And I would add, “science is the culture of debate, of divergence of opinions”.


Rarely, there are situations in which we reach consensus in science, even a momentary consensus. Some defend the “Big Bang” and the theory of evolution, others, including myself, are skeptical of them. Some defend with data and papers the central role of men in global warming, others defend, with the same data and papers, that human activity is irrelevant. Scientists are human beings, therefore, skeptics and enquirers who can and should speak for themselves, like all scientists have the right to do, but NEVER A SCIENTIST OR A GROUP OF THEM CAN DECLARE TO BE AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!


Nobody, absolutely nobody is allowed to speak for science or declare that he is “been guided” by science! In times of pandemic, this impossibility is even greater, as we face an unknown enemy. Data is still being collected and researches are being performed and published by scientists divided by their worldviews, and by their political and party preferences.


Whoever said he acted in the name of science, dishonestly usurped science prestige. For what type of “science” is this, unanimous and consensual, that no one has ever heard of? Could someone give me its address so I can confirm its consent? Its phone, email and WhatsApp?


As for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), the inevitable scientific clash between theses is clear when renowned scientists from around the world and in Brazil – such as virologist Paolo Zanotto (with 7,400 scientific citations) and doctors Didier Raoult (with 148,000 citations), Philip M. Carlucci and Vladimir Zelenko – defend its use based on studies and articles, whereas other scientists, also renowned and based on the same or other studies and articles, condemn it. Numerous countries such as the USA, Spain, France, Italy, India, Israel, Russia, Costa Rica and Senegal use the drug (HCQ) to fight covid-19, whereas other countries refrain from using HCQ as one of the strategies to contain the pandemic, betting on other controversial tactics.


Who then speaks here in the name of “science”? Which group has a monopoly on reason and its exclusive authorization to be the spokesperson of “science”? Where is such authorization found?


One can choose an opinion, and base his strategy on it, this is fine, but no one should commit the sacrilege of protecting his decision risking to tarnish with it the “sacred mantle of science”.


Outraged, every day I hear mayors and governors saying at the top of their lungs that they “have followed science”. Presidents of councils and some of their advisers, and of academies and deans in their offices write letters on behalf of their entire community, as if they reflect everyone’s consensual position. Nothing could be more false.


Have they followed science? Not at all! They have followed the science wing which they like, and the scientists who they chose to place around them. They ignore the other wing of science, since there are also hundreds of scientists and articles that oppose their positions and measures.


Worse, scientists are not angels. Scientists are people, and people have likes and dislikes, passions and political party preferences. Or wouldn’t they? There are many scientists, therefore, who do good without looking at whom, I know and admire many of them. But there are also pseudoscientists who use science to defend their opinion, their own pocket, or their passion. Scientists have worked and still work hard and detached to contribute to the good of humanity, many of whom are now in their laboratories, risking their lives to develop new methods of detecting coronavirus, drugs and vaccines, when they could stay “safe at home”. But, to illustrate my point, I know scientists who have published articles, some even in major journals such as “Science” or “Nature”, with data they have manufactured “during the night”; others who have removed points from their curves, or used other similar strategies. Many scientists were at Hitler’s side, weren’t they? Did they act in the name of “science”? Others have developed atom bombs. Others still develop chemical and biological weapons and illicit drugs, by design.


The Manaus’ study with chloroquine (CQ) performed here in Brazil and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) [1], is emblematic to this discussion of “science”. Scientists there used, the manuscript reveals, lethal doses in debilitated patients, many in severe conditions and with comorbidities. The profiles of the groups do not seem to have been “randomized”, since a clear “preference” in the HIGH DOSE group for risk factors is noted. Chloroquine, which is more toxic than HCQ, was used, and it seems that they even made “childish mistakes” in simple stoichiometric calculations, doubling the dosage with the error. I’m incapable of judging intentions, but justice will do it. The former Brazilian Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta quoted this study, supported it, and based on it, categorically stated: “I do not approve HCQ because I am based on ‘science, science, science’!”.


Another study published by Chinese researchers in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and which is still persistently used against HCQ was also at least revolting [2]. In it, the authors declared: “we administer 1,200 mg for 3 days, followed by 800 mg for 12 to 21 days, in patients with moderate to severe symptoms”. In other words, they gave a huge dosage of the drug that could reach the absurdity of 20 grams in the end, and it given was too late to patients (HCQ should be administered in the first symptoms or even earlier). And even worse, overdosing on HCQ or any other drug for severe cases is poisonous. What do you think, was it good science? The recommended dosage in Brazil, since May 20th, 2020, by the new Ministry of Health, for mild symptoms is 2 times 400 mg in the first day (every 12 hours) and 400 mg for 5 days for a total of 2.8 grams.


In other published studies, also in these internationally renowned journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA and BMJ [3-5], once again, “problems” are clearly noted, since or the patients were randomized in irregular ways, placing older, more susceptible or most severe and hypoxemic patients in the higher (lethal) dose groups, or more men (almost 3 times more deadly by covid than women), or more black people (in the USA, black people have displayed higher mortality) and more smokers, and where most of the deaths occurred in the first days of the studies (signs that were deaths of critically ill patients, who at this stage would be more “intoxicated” than “treated” with HCQ), or they administered HCQ isolated, when it is known that it is necessary to associate HCQ at least with azithromycin. One of these studies [5] administered HCQ only on the sixteenth day of symptoms (for really early treatment, HCQ administration should be started up to fifth day), in other words, at the end of the disease, when the drug can do little good or nothing to the patient.


These studies indicate that some scientists either forgot how “science” is done or that there is a huge effort to disprove, whatever it takes, that HCQ works. How can someone or even Councils and Academies of Medicine cite such studies as the “science” of their decisions? How can that be?


On the contrary, the study published – and today with more than 3 thousand patients tested – and carried out by Dr. Didier Raoult in France [6], using the correct dosage and at the right time, with a very low mortality rate (0.4%), and the Prevent Senior’s clinical experience in Brazil – also quite encouraging – are disqualified with very “futile” arguments such as: “Didier Raoult is a controversial and unworthy researcher”, “At Prevent Senior Clinic they were not sure of the diagnosis” (but none of the hospitalized patients with clear COVID symptoms died), “Placebo effect” (what a supernatural power of inducing our mind that reduces mortality from 40% to zero, I want this placebo!), “Study performed by a health plan company” (I do not doubt that this people indeed want to save lives, because the patients were their customers who pay their bills), and similar ephemeral arguments.


I post on my Facebook, almost daily, works, studies and incredible reports in favor of HCQ. Many sympathize with me, but some are vehemently opposed, and confront me with arguments such as: “how can such a respected scientist lose his prestige to defend such a president [Bolsonaro]?”. Some of them I know personally, others I search on their profiles. They may exist, I know, but I haven’t found even one of these Facebook friends so far who is not a leftist, fight against the current president of Brazil and, as a rule, is in favor of the clumsy #StayAtHome.


But the most important question I think it should be ask is this: are we absolutely certain by “science” that HCQ is efficient and saves lives? No, we are not. The chance is high, but certainly no scientist is sure about it. In a few years, we will know better. Are we then absolutely certain today that HCQ does not work? Of course we are not, no one honestly is certain of it. Therefore, I want to leave the “science of doubt” aside, since scientists diverge, and appeal to another area: the law. Here in Brazil the use of HCQ has even been questioned to the supreme court asking judges to settle the debate based on “science”. Nobody knows, however, who will speak “in the name of science”. But there is, in Law, a unquestionable and consensual position that could be used to define the dilemma:


“In dubio pro reo”. In other words, in case of doubt, favor or absolv the defendant (in this case, the HCQ).


If there is doubt by “science”, and a plausible possibility is the cure with HCQ, and if the drug is cheap (nearly free), available and distributed by several pharmaceutical companies ( in Brazil by Cristália, Apsen, EMS, Armed Forces , Sanofi-Aventis), and since it has minimal side effects in acute dosages of only 5 days (many take the drug daily for years), similar to all drugs (see aspirin and paracetamol), and considering that the defendant is likely to face a higher risk of life, if not medicated, then we should all be PRO-LIFE!


THAT ALL, ABSOLUTELY ALL BRAZILIANS WHO WISH TO DO SO, SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE TREATED WITH HCQ.


It’s a fair legal decision. And that is it.


This is science, not the “science” that I like or the “science” that others have appropriated it, but the “science” that we have here and now, based on the current facts, based on reason.


Finally, let us all remember that in the face of a new disease and its extremely rapid progression in the most debilitated patients with very serious complications, and so many uncertainties in the diagnosis, and as we don’t treat papers or health forms, but PEOPLE, it is imperative to the doctor look face to face their patients and decide invoking not the “science of some”, but the valuable compass of medicine that has saved many lives since the beginnings of medicine: “THE CLINIC IS SOVEREIGN!”


Prof. Marcos N. Eberlin, member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences

Where Are the Reviewers?

I have been working my back catalog of books recently – changing covers and reworking descriptions and so on. It has had some positive results and sales are up! However, in doing this, it struck me – where are the reviews? It seems very few people review my books on Amazon and yet this is soooo important for authors. Rather than build an army of loyal fans like Steph Young, for example, who gets upwards of 70 reviews on her books and has a vibrant FB page despite the fact she posts nothing at all, all I seem to attract for my efforts is the odd mean 1-star review filled with falsities about poor editing and so on (I assume this is a competitor as it always pretty much the same review). Maybe I simply do not know how to build a fan base or readership – maybe I have one and do not know? Anyway, no matter but if you do read and enjoy my books, please please leave a short review on Amazon?


[image error]Talking of reviews, I got one recently for my last album – The Anatomy of love.


The Anatomy of Love by G. Michael Vasey is a creative project by the Czech singer-songwriter with an ear for catchy melodies and European influences. Enjoyable tracks such as “Girl On The Phone” and “Free” demonstrate G. Michael Vasey’s unique talent and attention to detail through each song. Explosive guitar riffs and clean production values are prevalent through the entirety of The Anatomy of Love to express emotion and personality all its own. Fans of mod rock acts such as David Bowie can enjoy this eclectic album to enjoy through their headphones or playing loud on their speakers to sing along to.”


It was anonymous but it is a nice review and I thank the person who wrote it.


So, again, if anyone is reading this – please do take just a moment to review my books….


Thanks,

Mapping The Špilbirk Serpents

Tonight, I was able to get out and continue mapping the energy lines at Brno Castle – Špilberk. I managed to sort out a few things – one of which was to confirm that there are three lines not two – three dragons! The interesting and confusing thing had been that two are parallel and run pretty close together and this had me confused as I was initially seeing it as one line when in fact, it was two. What intrigues me is that these two lines actually seem to go around the castle while the third which crosses goes through it. The northern of the two NW-SE lines also literally goes straight through the front door of an Orthodox church built in the early 1900s called St. Wenceslas and on the other side of the castle also passes straight through another fairly recent Chapel called the Bethlehem Chapel that belongs to the Evangelists. It is difficult to imagine that the builders of both churches did that accidentally isn’t it?


My next step is to follow the lines out into the city and see where they go and how persistent they are. This will take some time as each has to be followed in turn.


Here is what I have so far…..I have the points plotted in an application with greater accuracy but I need to find a way to dump that to print at a reasonable scale.

The Kiss of Death

 


[image error]


Deeper into nature


Deeper into me


Deeper into the forest, deeper


Darker it grows and quieter


In the depths of the Goddess


I am truly free


As I walk the pathway


I catch a glimpse


The woman of my dreams


She laughs and dances


Under a sunbeam


I know I am to follow


Deeper and deeper we go


Darker and darker and so


The dancers dance


Until we reach the river


The river of life


And the woman asks me then


Would I like a wife?


I take her hand and we cross


The lady grinning soul


Pulls me closer


An embrace for eternity


And the kiss of death


She takes my last breath


Within her sweet kiss


Time breaks down and stills


Eternally kissed


By the Goddess


Hanging


In the stillness


Of all

Tears of the New Day

[image error]When the rain falls


Tears from heaven


Moistening below


The Gods say hello


Showing their presence


Washing the vibrant air


The making of a new day


And a new waterway


But why do They cry?


Why does the wind sigh?


Rivers of tears, running by


Falling from ashen sky


And then a sight to behold


Stretching from side to side


A multicolored rainbow


Laughter upon the God’s brow


Cleansed, Fresh and new


The Earths’ thirst slaked


Life sustained, rearranged


All continues unchanged

Seeking the Magic and Eternal Youth….of a Sort.

Tonight, I have had one of those evenings where I think back accompanied by music of the time. I miss Texas or I miss the life I had there.


But then I had a thought. My memories of that time or indeed any time in my life are vague with very few clear memories. Knowing memory, even those clearer images may not be real at all but deeply tinted with a certain wishfulness or nostalgia. I have photos, the recollections of others – my sons for example as well however, the truth may be that my past is as vague and as unreal as my future because my memories are selective and easily reprogrammed by constant use. Life back then was as life now most likely and I look back only because I feel older and closer to the ultimate destination. Music though is a way to raise the emotional side – the soul side – and I do find that it always drags me backwards rather than forwards.


[image error]The problem with that is what I once called the tipping point. That is the moment at which we as individuals spend more time remembering than relishing. More time looking back than looking forwards. It is at this point – this balance point – that we begin to age. I try to look forwards with expectation – I feel I create my life and my reality via expectation and faith in myself – by taking responsibility for myself. At least within the context of a greater whole that is the One Thing in which I have my existence. As we get older though, it is difficult not to spend more of our energy with our attention in the past – so many people gone from our lives, so many situations. So much change. Where we give our attention is where our energy goes and when it is given to the past rather than the future… what then? We tip slowly into old age…


This is the natural cycle of things and as we tip into old age, we cling on to those things that give some semblance of stability. Unfortunately, what we cling to is often what I call the horny matter of our existence – the hardened outer shell of often bitter experience. It is hard not to do so but we must learn to let go, cast off this horny matter and feel. The raw emotion experienced through experience is what keeps us young and vibrant and full of life energy.


Think about that. Remember how life was when you were young experiencing something for the very first time? Perhaps it was the freedom of becoming an adult escaping the parents. Perhaps it was making love for the very first time. Maybe it was as simple as staying up all night? Whatever the experience, the second and subsequent times were not the same. Each time the emotional involvement was lessened as we built that horny matter of experience – as we built a wall to protect and defend and shut ourselves off.


It’s not easy to let go but this is what we must do. We must let go and open ourselves to fate – to divine providence. We must have faith and accept the will of a higher power. As we do so, we live more boldly, more rawly and we engage the emotional body more deeply. We infuse ourselves with life energies and we thrive. We have access to eternal youth if only we could grasp it.


And so, as my memories flooded in I made a decision. Stop. I will look forward instead to the things I wish to do and to achieve. And do you know what? Those things are not as they were 30-years ago. I seek very different things now. I seek the magic not the material.
