Pandemic Elements 1:  PCR Testing-

During this ‘pandemic,’ world citizens have been subjected to a daily dose of case numbers from provincial or federal health ministers both sides of the border that have the power to paralyze or to set communities and citizens free from constraining governmental measures.

Decreasing ‘numbers’ spread hope that the curve is flattening while increasing ‘positives’ send frightened citizens and companies into a tailspin.

At the heart of the debate is the PCR test which magnifies RNA strands anywhere from 30 to 40 times to create the reaction necessary for a ‘conclusive’ test.  Yet according to medical professionals forensic technicians only use a magnification of 17 in their quest for trace compounds during investigations.

Even Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted that the chances of a positive result being accurate at 35 cycles are “miniscule,” yet the Alberta Government relies on such testing levels (35) to determine the severity of the Covid 19 infection.  Other groups such as the Ontario Government, the FDA, the CDC and the World Health Organization recommend 40 to 45 cycles.

REF: Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. – The New York Times (nytimes.com)

The PCR test was developed in 1985 by Dr. Kary Mullis for a primary application in biomedical research and criminal forensics yet it has become the foremost tool for Covid 19 detection. (see end of article for video)

In a 2019 interview, Mullis noted that it was never intended for detecting disease he felt that ‘Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it.’

Further research into PCR testing has yielded interesting results.

In addition to the inaccuracy of cycles above 17 which provide 100 % accuracy which drops to 20% with 33-34 cycles according to Dr. Mercola, the spectre of exactly what the test is searching for is raised.

With more than one Covid 19 test available, RNA (PCR), rapid (Antigen) or Serology (Antibody) there are also claims from the CDC that they do not have a sample of Covid 19 that they can produce to create a test from!

With numbers in the range that the Province of Alberta is reporting, the ‘pandemic,’ if PCR testing is performed with 17 cycles, would drop to a mere 8500 and across Canada, to 63,000.  Looking at deaths, 11, 265 deaths have been attributed to Covid 19, yet according to many statistics 10% of deaths can only be attributed directly TO Covid 19 with the remainder being linked with co-morbidities.  A comparison of death rates across Canada shows that from January to September 2018, 2019 and 2020 are nearly identical in total numbers despite our ‘pandemic.’

Another suspicious fact is that Dr. Hinshaw stated recently that there have been NO cases of the Flu reported (Global News November 13, 2020).  If this is a flu season, where are the sick people?  Could they have been tagged as Covid patients?

On November 18, 2020 Dr. Roger Hodgkinson, Hodkinson, Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa, CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta and Chairman of a Medical Biotechnology company that sells Covid 19 tests addressed Edmonton City Council and passionately chastised the government response to the ‘pandemic.’

“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. This is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspected public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus. This is nothing more than a bad flu season. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game. There is no action needed,” he said.  “Masks are utterly useless!”

“Positive testing results do NOT indicate clinical infection. It is simply driving public hysteria and ALL testing should STOP immediately,” he added.  “The scale of the response is utterly ridiculous…all kinds of business closures, suicides …. you’re being led down the garden path by the Health Minister of this province.”

There is another side to danger of PCR testing; fraud.

Reports of positive tests results have been reported with NO testing done by labs in Red Deer on patients who registered to test but left before any test could be performed.  From anecdotal evidence, there are at least 4 cases the writer has heard of the week of November 15th!  I can imagine that there Legally speaking, if 4 false cases have been reported in addition to a 20% accuracy rate, then the government response is incredibly over the top and lockdowns, mask bylaws and cohort regulations are unwarranted.

During an October 24, 2020 rally in Edmonton (a, retired Dr. Lorna Levesque called on provincial and federal politicians to let ‘teachers teach instead of playing doctor,’ and to ‘stop testing and give our rights and freedoms back.’

She also represented the Great Barrington Declaration (https://gbdeclaration.org/), signed by close to 50,000 doctors and 640,000 citizens which calls on governments to stop lockdowns and mandatory masks.  A short summary of the declaration follows:

“Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. “

“Why are my colleagues silent,” she asked.  “When we took our Hippocratic Oath we swore to ‘do no harm,’ and yet here we are silent while our government mandate masks which are bacteria factories if not sterile and decrease oxygen into our lungs while increasing carbon dioxide.  I am stunned by your silence!”

She also noted that ‘we cannot control the virus but Vitamin D helps build immunity just as Zinc does.’

The big question asked by citizens across Alberta is WHY are we using a flawed test procedure to decide the future of our economic, social and spiritual futures?  Why do citizens have NO say in how we respond as a society?

In my November 18th piece, I answer that question. (https://www.todayville.com/the-dystopian-future-of-canada-part-i/)

“The pandemic gives us an opportunity to reshape society…” Justin Trudeau said in his UN speech.

Further information from Dr. Mullis is below: (language warning)

A late addition to this piece is the following letter from Dr. Stephen Malthouse to the BC Minister of Health, due to the length of the piece, I include a link but add this short excerpt:

Why are you still using PCR testing? The Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Health in Ontario has publicly stated that the PCR test yields over 50% false positives. A New York Times investigative report found that PCR testing yields up to 90% false positives due to excessive amplification beyond the recommendations of the manufacturer. The PCR test was never designed, intended or validated to be used as a diagnostic tool. Even the Alberta Health Services COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Group has stated “clinical sensitivity and specificity values have not been determined for lab developed RT-PCR testing in Canada”.8 Despite expert consensus, you continue to use this inappropriate and inaccurate test to report so-called “cases” and justify your decisions.9-18

‘The electric story is over’

Published on

Oil economist Dr. Anas F. Alhajji challenges assumptions about EVs, demand and Canada’s future.

Every episode of Power Struggle offers a different doorway into the global energy system. But every so often I speak with someone who doesn’t merely interpret the data — he dismantles the illusions around it. Energy economist Dr. Anas F. Alhajji is one of those rare voices.

For anyone who follows world oil markets, Anas requires little introduction. He is one of the most widely referenced analysts in global energy economics, managing partner at Energy Outlook Advisors, and a commentator whose views often diverge from the political narratives that dominate Western media. Our conversation, fast-paced and data-driven, reinforced a point I’ve been making for years: many assumptions about the energy transition are overdue for a hard reset.

And if you think the transition is unfolding as advertised, Anas has a simple message: look again.

Peak oil demand — or peak illusion?

We began with the recurring claim, made most notably by the International Energy Agency, that global oil demand is nearing a terminal peak. Anas has long challenged this analysis, but his breakdown was especially stark.

“In May 2025, they said they are revising up global oil demand… They’ve been wrong for 18 straight years. By how much? Two or three years. The total is about 350 million barrels.”

He added an even sharper example.

“In August, they revised up Mexico’s oil demand by a hundred thousand barrels a day — since 2020. With all of this, who is going to believe the IEA?”

If we are going to debate “peak oil demand,” Anas argued, we must start with accurate numbers. And reality, as he laid out, tells a very different story.

Oil demand is higher — not lower

The most striking fact he brought to the table was where global demand sits today.

“Current world demand for oil is 107 million barrels a day.”

That figure sits eight million barrels above 2019 levels, despite rapid growth in electric vehicle sales. And here is where the assumptions collide with the data.

“Right now we have about 55 million EVs… 35 million are in China. The replacement in terms of oil is only 1.3 million barrels a day. That’s it.”

EVs are increasing, yes — but the global vehicle fleet is expanding even faster, and so is mobility demand. A century’s worth of built energy systems does not pivot overnight.

Hybrids now dominate

This brought Anas to the point that may surprise the most people.

“The trend right now is very clear. We are going hybrid. Hybrid. The electric story is over.”

He emphasized that this is not ideological — it is practical. Hybrids outperform EVs on cost, convenience and grid impacts, and consumers are voting with their wallets.

“Hybrid sales have been going through the roof. And this is going to continue… The media reports EV sales all the time. But what matters is the number of EVs on the road.”

This distinction matters. Monthly sales data can create a false sense of momentum. What counts for emissions, infrastructure planning and oil displacement is the stock of vehicles actually in use.

Three ‘scams’ in EV sales reporting

Anas went further, arguing that even sales data does not always reflect real-world adoption. He described what he called three “scams” that inflate EV sales figures globally. He shared one example on air:

“There are many tens of thousands of them in parking lots that are not being sold… A manufacturer calls an official, says: I have 2,000 cars. I will sell them to you. You issue the license plates, you issue the insurance, you get all the subsidies, we split it. But the cars are still in the parking lot.”

On paper, these are “sales.” In reality, they are inventory.

The broader point is that EV market statistics need scrutiny — and policymakers who rely on headline numbers may be basing major decisions on flawed data.

Why Canada still needs another pipeline

We then turned to Canada’s current debates about pipelines and whether the country still needs more tidewater access. Anas answered without hesitation.

“I can tell you without any reservation, we do need another pipeline, another Canadian pipeline to tidewater.”

His rationale was blunt.

“Energy demand globally is increasing at a very high rate in a way that we have never seen before.”

For Canada, this is about competitiveness. Without access to global markets, Canadian oil is priced at a discount — a problem solved only by pipelines reaching the coast.

On LNG: “Canada should go at full speed”

Anas was even more emphatic when discussing natural gas.

“That’s where Canada basically should go at full speed.”

He criticized the idea of a long-term LNG surplus.

“All those ideas about a surplus in LNG… it is nonsense.”

Asian LNG demand is projected to grow sharply, and Canada’s low-emissions LNG — powered by hydro — gives the country a unique competitive advantage.

Why voices like Anas matter

What I value most about conversations like this is the grounding they give us. In energy, narratives and evidence are drifting apart. You may not agree with every assertion, but you can’t dismiss the data. Whether discussing EVs, oil demand, LNG or Canada’s infrastructure, Anas reminds us that aspirations only matter when they intersect with reality.

This episode of Power Struggle is exactly the kind of dialogue we need: sober, data-based, and challenging enough to re-examine assumptions.

You can listen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts. If it unsettles a few comfortable stories — that’s the point.

Some Of The Wackiest Things Featured In Rand Paul’s New Report Alleging $1,639,135,969,608 In Gov’t Waste

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Ireland Owens

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul released the latest edition of his annual “Festivus” report Tuesday detailing over $1 trillion in alleged wasteful spending in the U.S. government throughout 2025.

The newly released report found an estimated $1,639,135,969,608 total in government waste over the past yearPaul, a prominent fiscal hawk who serves as the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement that “no matter how much taxpayer money Washington burns through, politicians can’t help but demand more.”

“Fiscal responsibility may not be the most crowded road, but it’s one I’ve walked year after year — and this holiday season will be no different,” Paul continued. “So, before we get to the Feats of Strength, it’s time for my Airing of (Spending) Grievances.”

The 2025 “Festivus” report highlighted a spate of instances of wasteful spending from the federal government, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent $1.5 million on an “innovative multilevel strategy” to reduce drug use in “Latinx” communities through celebrity influencer campaigns, and also dished out $1.9 million on a “hybrid mobile phone family intervention” aiming to reduce childhood obesity among Latino families living in Los Angeles County.

The report also mentions that HHS spent more than $40 million on influencers to promote getting vaccinated against COVID-19 for racial and ethnic minority groups.

The State Department doled out $244,252 to Stand for Peace in Islamabad to produce a television cartoon series that teaches children in Pakistan how to combat climate change and also spent $1.5 million to promote American films, television shows and video games abroad, according to the report.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spent more than $1,079,360 teaching teenage ferrets to binge drink alcohol this year, according to Paul’s report.

The report found that the National Science Foundation (NSF) shelled out $497,200 on a “Video Game Challenge” for kids. The NSF and other federal agencies also paid $14,643,280 to make monkeys play a video game in the style of the “Price Is Right,” the report states.

Paul’s 2024 “Festivus” report similarly featured several instances of wasteful federal government spending, such as a Las Vegas pickleball complex and a cabaret show on ice.

The Trump administration has been attempting to uproot wasteful government spending and reduce the federal workforce this year. The administration’s cuts have shrunk the federal workforce to the smallest level in more than a decade, according to recent economic data.

Festivus is a humorous holiday observed annually on Dec. 23, dating back to a popular 1997 episode of the sitcom “Seinfeld.” Observance of the holiday notably includes an “airing of grievances,” per the “Seinfeld” episode of its origin.
