Both The New York Times and Bloomberg were preparing stories on the findings, but axed their articles just before publication, citing “concerns” and “editorial decisions.”

Weird how the 'experts' don't publish stuff that goes against the narrative, but we're supposedly the ones in a cult.
The sheer hypocrisy of institutions saying "follow the science" but then be very selective about which science to follow raises my blood pressure. To be sure, the NYT and Bloomberg have every right to publish what they want - I'm a full supporter of freedom of press and of speech - but blatantly ignoring evidence that doesn't support "the narrative" is so unprofessional (if I can use that word without causing a microagression (/s)).
Brad, thanks for publishing this dynamite article - I can't like it enough.
Of course, they did not publish and make public to the world (not likely to learn of the study otherwise) as their owners and directors are active in the deconstruction of our white Christian virtue-based culture and opponents of soul-murdering goodness-valuing nature opponents of insanity - powerful ruling families that direct the corp-captured Venture Capitol corporations like BlackRock that promoted and threaten them with huge stock drops with 'social score' system that penalizes all those not following unmeritious promotion of women and minorities, in part as the ongoing policies that has been genociding us and our culture, and world-wide have twisted our Nation's once good Name Justly into 'the GreatSatan' of endless wars and deaths and horrors, support of genocides and further horrors none of our classes of powerless support and think sane, with 'voting harder' in a fraudulent-system only acceptable response, where bullets to heads of real powerful the only effective one remaining.
Back in the 1980s, the race industrial complex realized that it faced a demographic crisis. Slaves and slave owners were all dead. The people who had installed Jim Crow were dying. Whites who were becoming more prominent in communities, business, and politics had been children when Martin Luther King was murdered.
How were those who made their living by race baiting going to continue to benefit from white guilt when the folks who could be construed as guilty were disappearing?
Suddenly, monetizing race became an industry in search of plausible theories for its continued existence. Academics came to the rescue with Critical Race Theory. DEI, intersectionality, micro aggressions, and institutional racism.
The new theories were proof against progress in race relations and demographic changes. White people were racist by virtue of their skin color, and could never be anything other than racist. At the same time, minorities were told that they could never, by their own efforts, improve their lives or those of their loved ones until whites had perfected themselves and were no longer racist. Catch 22.
In addition, race industry declared that the middle class values that had helped people of all races, cultures, and nationalities climb out of poverty throughout history were products of white supremacy. The fact that those who rejected values such as hard work, punctuality, objectivity, and perseverance tended to become poor or remain in poverty became proof that the system is inherently racist.
And just to ice the cake, to point any of this out is to prove that one is either a white supremacist or someone who has been co-opted by the white supremacist culture.
That unJust injection of self-loathing and guilt-sense into us as a group of socially powerless, and in-fact most wide-spread innocent (and active defenders when experienced) virtuously raised 'Nation' of whites in this reminds me of the vile self-loathing we males were Sickened and weakened by powerful ruling families that are destroying our culture of liberty-loving and other virtues that resist against their population control and Satanic goals, and that were embraced by the newer generations of now Sickened delusional psycho Womanhood (that were twisted in my life-time from blessing to society), or ..
.. Or the strange weakening and self-loathing of us all connected to the (clearly shown) lies of unJust persecutions of some tribe where powerful poison the reputation of rest, such as events around WWII and which pre-post population data makes clear that 6 million extra gone is false, that we all have been haunted by those 5.7 millions of never-living undead Jews that have weakened us all and allowed insanity to destroy so much once Goodness and the year+ open televised genocide in Gaza by a Jewish Supremist State, the 90% population of the population there has open-eyes to the man genocides of white Christians (and others) by those powerful throughout recent history that they directed; Holodomor, Armenian Genocide, and behind others like the Million or so white Christian Ukrainian men for the removal of protection of land, culture, women and children - trafficking, slavery, organ-harvesting, ...
With such a vile slimy undermining soul-joy-culture murdering tried-and-true method available to demon-controlled machines from Hell, why would it not be used until Truth, Justice, and good Order be only a dying memory to only the elders remaining?
Thoughts, please?
(Always remembering that frothing un-supported attacks on my and anyone else reputation suggests and displays a level of mind-raped program Golem-tool of Satan, or active support of Satanic goals mentioned as well as others. Such should be assumed.)
They tell us truth has a liberal bias, but a survey by Skeptic.com stated that a much higher percentage of people who identify as liberal or very liberal thought that 1,000 or more unarmed black men were murdered by police in 2019.
And among the very liberal, over 14 percent of them thought that police killed about 10,000 unarmed black men. In contrast, approximately 6 and 7 percent of moderates and liberals thought the same.
The actual figure? The Washington Post said it was 12. The Mapping Police Violence Database said it was 27.
The media did the same thing during Covid. Their hysteria has people thinking their chances of dying were drastically higher than they actually were, but sure provided good ratings. And lead to demonization of those who refused to by cowed by the narrative.
I think @Matt Orfalea has a video that compiles the media’s insistence that the mortality rate was 3.4% — based on the WHO number — and thus used it to dunk on Trump, who said he thought it would be less than 1% based on discussions “with a lot of top people that do this.” He was ridiculed in the press, but he and those advising him were right. The real figure was less than half a percent, I think.
The media were politically motivated to be contradict Trump.
The sad thing is that people even today in retrospect do not know that the gov. bribe to corp. medical institutions to report deaths from covid (motorcycle accident but tested positive) did in fact drive those sociopathic doctors and administrators to kill people in their care.
[For those that refuse to believe such exists perhaps having a near-death ER experience where injected with a paralyzing drug to display to wife and maybe others, and hearing wife being pleasured to ok organ donation (after all I had marked my driver's license for it), an experience that only living people go through, perhaps as I was - awake and alert and feeling - while the ghouls are cutting out organs one at a time in an order to keep you alive as long as possible, cutting out eyes, etc .. while laughing and showing you each organ, with perhaps 'others' watching for the Satanic rituals and pleasures of it.
And nowhere the only personal experience of anti-life and unJust experience and abuse - from a once noble and trustworthy system that when younger I experience with good and life-affirming treatments through many HS sports injuries and surgeries.]
And that harm and deaths such insane anti-Medical anti-Science response caused, and the often forced and still forced Genocide poison-injections horrors that will be with us all the rest of our live in shorted lives, increased cancers and diseases ..
.. when did we die and end in this level of hell has been a recurring question since soon after HS.
I'm wondering how that survey worked, did they give numbers or did they ask people how many do you think were murdered? If it was a range it wouldn't have surprised me that many people picked the highest number.
Harvard Professor Roland Fryer researched this and published a paper on it. Apparently he got into some trouble for it with his colleagues, to even ask the question if the perception is accurate was seen as heresy. He's black by the way, although his race card was probably revoked.
And unarmed is fraudulently intended to exclude armed with car, fighting for police-weapon, or other situations where deadly response is Justified, and likely included medial and other death-causes while police were present struggling to manage situation.
As such is the case, we should realize that many larger police departments have training and influences from israeli firms that have injected genocidal attitudes and false methods to allow violent responses - we are all Palestinians now - as we have increasingly been in my adult lifetime.
A lot of this DEI stuff is a sort of reverse therapy that robs people of agency, telling people that only through the force of government and its violence can they achieve anything in life and anyone who has something that resembles an achievement actually obtained it through privilege. It's the standard playbook, create a boogeyman that only government can fight and use it as justification to deprive the people of their freedoms, bonus points if the boogeyman can't be fought, e.g. racism or climate change.
Agreed. Historians like Alexander Tytler studied the various democracies throughout history and saw that creating dependency was the last stage of any democracy before Tyranny.
Liz, your reply allowed me to discover your writing, and I look forward to many hours of quality content - it seems - and perhaps a chance to add value to your work as these comment sections clearly do for all that allow it, and relative poverty in those that do not.
The value added to articles through comments and replies is so clear I often wonder at those authors that require a paid subscription to contribute - as a disabled retired professional on a fixed income where the false Inflation Gov number is easily 4-8 percent low (not including fuel, medical, housing increases - the most rapidly growing [needed] consumer products), that to exclude my economic class seems undefendable and reductive in value of content.
Once I looked into the start of Welfare and how it was applied to those tight self-supportive virtuous cultivating tight black communities it was tested on first (the destruction of fatherhood for mothers to marry the stiffer-longer powerful gov) I started to realize that they were the testing ground for how the destruction of the entire middle class was attacked .. fatherhood murder, family destructions, unemployment, self-loathing and unjust persecution, Church and other positive influence rejection, drugs, .. first applied and optimized in the isolated and ignored black communities where fatherlessness was tiny, employment high, Elders, community and church-attendance was universal and significant, ...
I sure would like to have some serious independent journalists look into this and (if verified) made public.
I think the real welfare queens are the corporations that suck the government dry, the public sector employees who don't do any useful work and often find something useless our counter-productive to do and then you would have to add in all the people who indirectly work for the government in the private sector, e.g. consultants (DEI, compliance etc.), Legal, HR, Accounting, Payroll, Administrators interfacing with the government, Lobbyists, all the employees producing reams of paperwork that no one of substance ever reads + the auditors that are paid to read all the paperwork on behalf of the government, and lots of other stuff. The US federal government is the largest honeypot in the world, and as they say in German "Wo ein Trog ist sammeln sich die Schweine" - where there is a troth the swine will gather.
Many government bureaucrats are petty tyrants already. They have many ways of ruining your day, life, month or week, no matter if you did something wrong or not, they barely every face consequences for their actions which are often criminal.
I am a free speech abolitionist (corrected... absolutionist), but thinking deeply about my views on the topic, it assumes that the press/media is free from tyrannical control. It is not in this case, and so I think I have to rethink my position while acknowledging the slippery slope of too many controls over our media/press.
I do consider that even with the Democrats dominating the ownership, management and bias within the corporate media and Hollywood, the electorate voted against them. So the case can be made that independent journalism reigned supreme. The problem though is the mass formation having been caused and still being caused by the corporate media shift away from journalism to Democrat-favoring political propaganda. Today the average Democrat is unable to accept any explanation for the election other than Trump supporting Republicans are brainwashed and in a cult of personality. Why? Because their media feeds had been non-stop with this woke BS and anti-Trump BS and pro Biden and Harris BS. How can they reconcile these years of gaslighting by admitting that they had been lied to by the media they select and enjoy?
So here we are divided because the media instead of calming these more easily made anxious political people, has made them more anxious, angry, frustrated and depressed.
So, the way I frame my change in views of absolute free speech, is that I think the state of our media has caused a national health emergency.
My idea for fixing the problem, and I confess that it is not perfect, is to establish a model for percent bias and if over the line either right or left, that organization loses its press pass. Maybe up to 30% is okay. But over that, it gets branded as a political propaganda organization, and not a news organization. And as a political propaganda organization, it should face campaign finance rules and restrictions.
I think like a lot of things, the media was 'cashing in' on the credibility they had built up over the years. (Just like the CDC and 'vaccines') This election represents the last time they will have any sort of real power over the electorate, IMO. Instead, we found new people who are building their own credibility by not being beholden to the blob.
I hope that is the case. Looks promising from my vantage point. It is crazy though thinking about it... one more October surprise and maybe they get Harris to the finish line and then the entire thing not only stays stuck, but it probably grows.
Aside from suggesting that such sickness as you note in media is far more widespread and originates in those ruling powerful families that captured both parties, mention of whom would cause frothing-attacks from ADL no matter how clearly sect-limiting I specify (not all), and as such have fungal-tentaclely spread wide-far-deep in all organizations and institutions (not limited to Federal and all governments) that have power over our lives, there is a more acceptable to most feedback I would suggest.
As also an absolutist the same kind as you profess to be, I suggest that a Freedom-to-Hear term change would help widespread that when someone comes between us and something someone wants to make available to share with us, they are mind-raping horrors that it Just they be removed from power and publicly Pained&Shamed till Screaming and self-soiling as a start corrective action with relatively more in balance to the damage done for such a crime to us all and the future, ..
.. that it falls into the same category as false-witnessing and more so as the crime extends to us all, and like the effects of a lie such as WMD wars that murder millions a reasonable corrective example of them and all adults in their family trapped in vehicle in public and streamed worldwide and burned to death as is one of the many many experiences and results they caused or were partly the cause of.
Until such is accepted and applied long enough to destroy our now cancerous sickness that allows such evil, we can expect this and related horrors to increase, and our Fall into Hell speed-up.
The 'Freedom-to-Hear' version makes it clear that a censoring is not a crime on that person or source, and a crime against us all - mankind from then into future.
This might seem to be nitpicking, but I think you might want to consider clarifying what you are referring to when you use the words 'liberal' and 'liberalism'. If you look up the terms in Wikipedia you'll find this:
"Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law."
Obviously this definition is the exact opposite of what I think you intended. In the US, somehow the term has (deliberately?) become distorted by the press, which started to associate the word liberal with the Democratic Party 50+ years ago. In the 1970's this might have made some sense when talking about the hippie culture or sexual liberation, but today clearly the party represents the exact opposite of what the word traditionally meant.
The convention many people use is capitalize the 'L' when referring to modern political movements and using lowercase when referring to the philosophy. That or you could simply use the words progressives or Democrats.
I looked up a Rasmussen poll about the history of race relations. It seems they went into the crapper shortly after Obama's reelection in 2012. That tracks with my recollection of Obama's second term changing from "post racial" to "most racial."
I recall this tragedy and my reflection on my close-call with the vile murder-intending people that were around me in my first professional (dream) job that was recruited into from a part-time work-study job by the research lab's PI as the data I was significant in creating was publishable, ..
.. that like all Poison to virtue, truth, justice, and good order, it started and allowed to spread unnoticed from Universities into all of society - if Satanic soul-murder directed.
No longer is such poison and death goal directed is limited to the Evil Witches - men, merit, loving, .., murderers and destroyers that were supported by the many 3rd wave feminists and as the hive-mind VagFeelie delusional mostly non-destructive Womanhood that always side, cover, and lie against the man when a conflict occurs with a woman involved (as displayed when the usually false rape-assault allegation is made public) is undocumented and widespread policy limited to Universities, but now Western-wide Gov, corp, and Institutional practice and allowed routine.
The acceptance of destruction of all that is needed for life is the female version of the male more human bullet-to-head, and less likely to slowly destroy all dependent or connected to him (mostly men as few women are willing to Stand against evil even though less likely to suffer any or as badly this response)
Thank you for reminding me and alerting us all to remember all the men that were life-crippled or died as result of standing against such clear falsehood and Poison that harms and threaten us all.
You nailed it on the head. I have heard leaders in education say things like, "were gonna fight oppression with oppression", which highlights how vapid their ideas are, and that their actually goal is to bully and silence people into their creed
Wow, some great journalism and perspectives here. So glad I discovered this content and look forward to review more, much better than finding a $100 bill on side of road, lasting much longer - rest of life usually.
Before this crap Sickened us all and driven us all into Poison Vomit filled toxic workplaces, education, gov., corporate and powerful Institutions throughout West, when Merit and commitment was most respected and assured qualities for advancement, before those and other aspects of power over our lives and in control of public influence Sickened and chocked us towards death, ..
.. I recall hearing older women (and applies to minorities) that advanced in what was mostly white man's productive and trustworthy Institutions testify that they felt they have to be better than the better of the white men peers, and now I am retired I realize that their attitude was that of me and every white man peers, and it was only a small part of the old standard virtues for how we (men) were raised - and not some damning accusation that it always was reported as.
And recently as I have had time and proper amount of life experience to gain so deeper perspective I wonder to what extent did those women and minorities competence and willingness to follow productive standards of work ethic and Enviromint, and their above normal (for sex & race) competence, prudence, and self-control - normal for the men around and for which none would be a peer or employed without, failure in any or other virtues and merit keeping them below, ..
.. How much that gave those men and others the false sense of quality (merit & virtues) for rest of sex and race. That such reflection did not continue further too the realization that their employment and relative better life-standard was not possible for the perhaps 80%-90% of rest of white men, and to unJustly and viciously inject them into co-worker positions would fill the environment with horrors that we have today where often the 20% of them responsible for 80% productivity would be targeted by vicious resent-filled drama cnts that poison all environments and was the sane reason they were Justly excluded before.
Now the fungal-strangling tentacles of fem-Nazi-Commie death and poison reaches everywhere including many of our families, and after a generation or two of the public ruined and destruction of men that tried to Stand against this insanity, that early childhood's testicle crushing murdered - what but death can be the results?

The Reverend Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr has never favored
1) diversity,
2) equity or
3) inclusion.
Instead he has called for:
1) ethnic favoritism,
2) gimme-gimme-gimme-all-of-it-now &
3) elimination of Whites
So, going by the world according to C.G. Jung, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
Poof! DEI DIEs. Done. Victimhoodedness dies a death of disgrace, hopefully forgotten as a dismal day during early 21st century America.
A lot of this DEI stuff is a sort of reverse therapy that robs people of agency, telling people that only through the force of government and its violence can they achieve anything in life and anyone who has something that resembles an achievement actually obtained it through privilege. It's the standard playbook, create a boogeyman that only government can fight and use it as justification to deprive the people of their freedoms, bonus points if the boogeyman can't be fought, e.g. racism or climate change.
Agreed. Historians like Alexander Tytler studied the various democracies throughout history and saw that creating dependency was the last stage of any democracy before Tyranny.
America spends over one trillion dollars a year on welfare – creating dependency. I hope we can give peace a chance and end the War on Poverty! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/give-peace-a-chance-end-the-war-on-9f8?r=76q58

Thank you! 💯
I think the real welfare queens are the corporations that suck the government dry, the public sector employees who don't do any useful work and often find something useless our counter-productive to do and then you would have to add in all the people who indirectly work for the government in the private sector, e.g. consultants (DEI, compliance etc.), Legal, HR, Accounting, Payroll, Administrators interfacing with the government, Lobbyists, all the employees producing reams of paperwork that no one of substance ever reads + the auditors that are paid to read all the paperwork on behalf of the government, and lots of other stuff. The US federal government is the largest honeypot in the world, and as they say in German "Wo ein Trog ist sammeln sich die Schweine" - where there is a troth the swine will gather.
Many government bureaucrats are petty tyrants already. They have many ways of ruining your day, life, month or week, no matter if you did something wrong or not, they barely every face consequences for their actions which are often criminal.
I am a free speech abolitionist (corrected... absolutionist), but thinking deeply about my views on the topic, it assumes that the press/media is free from tyrannical control. It is not in this case, and so I think I have to rethink my position while acknowledging the slippery slope of too many controls over our media/press.
I do consider that even with the Democrats dominating the ownership, management and bias within the corporate media and Hollywood, the electorate voted against them.

I hope that is the case. Looks promising from my vantage point. It is crazy though thinking about it... one more October surprise and maybe they get Harris to the finish line and then the entire thing not only stays stuck, but it probably grows.
Vocabulary Nazi here. I believe you meant to say "free speech absolutist" rather than "free speech abolitionist."
LOL. Yes. Thanks. Dam fast fingers on the kepboard!
Aside from suggesting that such sickness as you note in media is far more widespread and originates in those ruling powerful families that captured both parties, mention of whom would cause frothing-attacks from ADL no matter how clearly sect-limiting I specify (not all), and as such have fungal-tentaclely spread wide-far-deep in all organizations and institutions (not limited to Federal and all governments) that have power over our lives, there is a more acceptable to most feedback I would suggest.
As also an absolutist the same kind as you profess to be, I suggest that a Freedom-to-Hear term change would help widespread that when someone comes between us and something someone wants to make available to share with us, they are mind-raping horrors that it Just they be removed from power and publicly Pained&Shamed till Screaming and self-soiling as a start corrective action with relatively more in balance to the damage done for such a crime to us all and the future, ..
.. that it falls into the same category as false-witnessing and more so as the crime extends to us all, and like the effects of a lie such as WMD wars that murder millions a reasonable corrective example of them and all adults in their family trapped in vehicle in public and streamed worldwide and burned to death as is one of the many many experiences and results they caused or were partly the cause of.
Until such is accepted and applied long enough to destroy our now cancerous sickness that allows such evil, we can expect this and related horrors to increase, and our Fall into Hell speed-up.
The 'Freedom-to-Hear' version makes it clear that a censoring is not a crime on that person or source, and a crime against us all - mankind from then into future.

Great post. DEI needs gutted wholesale.
Truth bomb after truth bomb, in this one.
Nice article.
This might seem to be nitpicking, but I think you might want to consider clarifying what you are referring to when you use the words 'liberal' and 'liberalism'. If you look up the terms in Wikipedia you'll find this:
"Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law."
Obviously this definition is the exact opposite of what I think you intended. In the US, somehow the term has (deliberately?) become distorted by the press, which started to associate the word liberal with the Democratic Party 50+ years ago. In the 1970's this might have made some sense when talking about the hippie culture or sexual liberation, but today clearly the party represents the exact opposite of what the word traditionally meant.
The convention many people use is capitalize the 'L' when referring to modern political movements and using lowercase when referring to the philosophy. That or you could simply use the words progressives or Democrats.
I looked up a Rasmussen poll about the history of race relations. It seems they went into the crapper shortly after Obama's reelection in 2012. That tracks with my recollection of Obama's second term changing from "post racial" to "most racial."
During Ferguson I was thinking "what in the name of contrived anger is going on here?"
This happened in Toronto, thanks to DEI cultists.https://quillette.com/2023/07/21/rip-richard-bilkszto/
I recall this tragedy and my reflection on my close-call with the vile murder-intending people that were around me in my first professional (dream) job that was recruited into from a part-time work-study job by the research lab's PI as the data I was significant in creating was publishable, ..
.. that like all Poison to virtue, truth, justice, and good order, it started and allowed to spread unnoticed from Universities into all of society - if Satanic soul-murder directed.
No longer is such poison and death goal directed is limited to the Evil Witches - men, merit, loving, .., murderers and destroyers that were supported by the many 3rd wave feminists and as the hive-mind VagFeelie delusional mostly non-destructive Womanhood that always side, cover, and lie against the man when a conflict occurs with a woman involved (as displayed when the usually false rape-assault allegation is made public) is undocumented and widespread policy limited to Universities, but now Western-wide Gov, corp, and Institutional practice and allowed routine.
The acceptance of destruction of all that is needed for life is the female version of the male more human bullet-to-head, and less likely to slowly destroy all dependent or connected to him (mostly men as few women are willing to Stand against evil even though less likely to suffer any or as badly this response)
Thank you for reminding me and alerting us all to remember all the men that were life-crippled or died as result of standing against such clear falsehood and Poison that harms and threaten us all.
God Bless., Steve
nailed it perfectly. great article.
You nailed it on the head. I have heard leaders in education say things like, "were gonna fight oppression with oppression", which highlights how vapid their ideas are, and that their actually goal is to bully and silence people into their creed
Wow, some great journalism and perspectives here. So glad I discovered this content and look forward to review more, much better than finding a $100 bill on side of road, lasting much longer - rest of life usually.
Before this crap Sickened us all and driven us all into Poison Vomit filled toxic workplaces, education, gov., corporate and powerful Institutions throughout West, when Merit and commitment was most respected and assured qualities for advancement, before those and other aspects of power over our lives and in control of public influence Sickened and chocked us towards death, ..
.. I recall hearing older women (and applies to minorities) that advanced in what was mostly white man's productive and trustworthy Institutions testify that they felt they have to be better than the better of the white men peers, and now I am retired I realize that their attitude was that of me and every white man peers, and it was only a small part of the old standard virtues for how we (men) were raised - and not some damning accusation that it always was reported as.
And recently as I have had time and proper amount of life experience to gain so deeper perspective I wonder to what extent did those women and minorities competence and willingness to follow productive standards of work ethic and Enviromint, and their above normal (for sex & race) competence, prudence, and self-control - normal for the men around and for which none would be a peer or employed without, failure in any or other virtues and merit keeping them below, ..
.. How much that gave those men and others the false sense of quality (merit & virtues) for rest of sex and race. That such reflection did not continue further too the realization that their employment and relative better life-standard was not possible for the perhaps 80%-90% of rest of white men, and to unJustly and viciously inject them into co-worker positions would fill the environment with horrors that we have today where often the 20% of them responsible for 80% productivity would be targeted by vicious resent-filled drama cnts that poison all environments and was the sane reason they were Justly excluded before.
Now the fungal-strangling tentacles of fem-Nazi-Commie death and poison reaches everywhere including many of our families, and after a generation or two of the public ruined and destruction of men that tried to Stand against this insanity, that early childhood's testicle crushing murdered - what but death can be the results?
Will voting harder do it?
Thoughts, please?
God Bless., Steve
