Trying to spin in the opposite direction to the ludicrous interpretation of ‘news’ can cause severe vertigo: Links 1 for May 7, 2026

1. Now and again, in fact several times a day, we see a story that is both a kick in the gut, and a dopamine shot to the brain. The kick in the gut is because the information is so horrible at face value, or its implications, and the dopamine shot is because it affirms the albeit Casandra like model we have of reality as it is at the moment.

Some of you may remember that we featured videos of Eric Clapton during Covid explaining how the mRNA shots messed up his hands and he thought he could never play again. He was one of the very few A list celebrities who dared to speak truth against narrative on Covid and the dangers of the mRNA shots. Even though he took it initially, at least he tried to warn others not to.

We found the original Rolling Stone article and while it appears slightly ambiguous as to the reasoning, one most certainly gets the impression that they removed him from “Guitar-God” status because he went against the shots.

To be clear, if someone likes Richard Wagner’s Music, they should listen to it and enjoy it. The fact that Hitler idolized and weaponized his music should make no difference. Even if they were contemporaries. Even if they were friends. The whole beauty of Western Civilization is the ability to not make everything political but to utilize value on merit. This is why DEI is so destructive. It is a direct intersectional line of attack on the Merit principle, which is a central pillar of Western Civilization. At the same time, performing artists should create an alter-ego for political opinion. Using a platform someone earns from great acting or musical skill gives an unfair advantage when they are voicing opinions on other matters about which they likely do not have more expertise than the common person. If their politics is interesting and valuable, the alter-ego will gain traction all on its own.

2. This seems like a very meaningful change in Canada’s foreign policy and for that matter, autonomy. Clearly Canada does not make its own foreign policy decisions, and the decisions that are made, are not based on any kind of libertarian or individualist basis.

3. The Hanta Virus issue about a cruise ship mirrors the start of Covid all to well. Hanta did not appear in the list of viruses sent to China from the Winnipeg lab, when I checked. But not being on the available list does not make it not sent to Peking. Or Wuhan as it happens.

Hanta is not human to human spread, unless Gain of Function has been done to it. So if it starts spreading that way, we have a real problem as Hanta is a haemorrhagic fever. Like Ebola. Which was in fact sent to the Wuhan lab from Winnipeg. 

There are a couple of interesting data points floating around on this issue:

During the early days of the Covid narrative attacks, there were rumours floating around about a follow up disease-attack but wth a haemorrhagic fever. We were thinking Ebola, but could as easily be a version of Hanta that goes person to person.

The following graphic was screen grabbed from Polymarket at 8:00 AM on Thursday May 7, 2026:

Live graph here. Might be interesting to watch this one.

Since I started too write this post this morning, there has been some evolution of the story:

Current situation:

  • Total cases: Around 8 cases linked to the ship (3 laboratory-confirmed hantavirus, 5 suspected).
  • Deaths: 3 passengers have died.
  • Others: One person critically ill (in South Africa), several with milder symptoms. Three patients were medically evacuated (some to the Netherlands).
  • The ship was anchored off Cape Verde but has now departed and is heading to Spain’s Canary Islands (expected arrival in a few days). Remaining passengers/crew are isolated in cabins.

Key details:

  • The strain involved is the Andes variant of hantavirus — this is notable because it’s the only hantavirus known to spread via limited human-to-human transmission (usually close contact), unlike most others which come only from rodents.
  • Initial exposure likely happened from rodents (possibly near a landfill in Argentina during a birdwatching stop), but person-to-person spread is now suspected on board.
  • Dozens of passengers (including Americans) disembarked earlier in the trip and flew home before the outbreak was identified — health authorities in multiple countries (US, UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, etc.) are doing contact tracing and monitoring them.

I had a conversation with a friend about this who minimized it because outbreaks on cruise ships are so common. Yeah I’m sure that’s true. But what is also true is the attacks on us all start with a narrative. Why then, did only the Covid outbreak on a cruise ship and now this one get public attention when outbreaks on cruise ships are dirt common and the stories are probably buried so it doesn’t hurt the stock prices of the cruise liners? Something stinks here.

Might be time to stock up on Ivermectin. Again. Maybe some tonic water.

4. Those who are concerned about the massive cuts to seniors and various ‘vulnerable’ Canadians in general should take comfort in how much fun Ukrainian officials appear to be having with the money taken from Canadians.

I don’t know this website. Or if it’s disinformation. But on the surface, the woman throwing around the cash seems to be who it is calmed she is. Daria Kochurina, the wife of the deputy head of the State Audit Service of Ukraine Dmytro Khandusenko
?????????: https://eadaily.com/en/news/2026/05/05/the-wife-of-the-deputy-head-of-the-state-audit-service-of-ukraine-scattered-150-000-in-a-dance-video

The money dance video is fun at the link, although the amounts listed are much lower as it was Ukrainian money, not USD. Even so, it was extravagant given economy of scale and Canada is being extremely generous with Ukraine while cutting funds from many Canadian cohorts.

5. The names of the concerns and organizations listed in this Rebel video prove categorically that communists do indeed have a sene of humour. When they came up with things like, “National Security Overreach” they must have been rolling on the floor laughing. Well probably not but we should be, if we weren’t so susceptible to dialectic attacks. And all the verbiage the attendees of this Chinese Communist meetup used were classic Maoist dialectics.

6. So a Nazi walks into a bar and shoots a bunch of Jewish people, a Gypsy and a crippled guy. A week later, the media says, “a lone wolf, not connected to any military organization committed this mass murder”. No worries then, Nothing needs to be done. I mean he wasn’t in the SS or anything.

FBI: Austin’s Sixth Street mass shooter acted alone

The gunman who killed three people and wounded 15 others outside an Austin bar in March was a lone actor with no ties to foreign terrorist organizations, the FBI said Thursday.

The FBI San Antonio Division released its findings on Ndiaga Diagne, 53, who opened fire outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on West Sixth Street in the early morning hours of March 1 before being shot and killed by Austin Police Department officers. The attack came one day after the U.S. launched strikes against Iran.

“There is no evidence of outside direction or radicalization,” the FBI said in a statement. Instead, investigators concluded the attack stemmed from “an escalation in violent behavior in part tied to specific personal triggers and grievances related to U.S. and Israeli military actions involving Iran, culminating in a violent, impulsive attack.”

Diagne, a Senegal-born naturalized U.S. citizen, was wearing a shirt bearing an Iranian flag design and a sweatshirt reading “Property of Allah” at the time of the shooting. 

Thank you all for checking out this site.

A lot more to come by end of day if things proceed well.
