The CDC like the FBI is a failed Agency that has been weaponized against 
the people of the United States and the U.S. Constitution.

The CDC science is always to be viewed with plenty of skepticism. 
Because it's MOSTLY a political agenda and NOT science.

FACT based information isn't biased.

Any bias that exists would be applied to the data in the head of the 
person reviewing the data.  Which means that the police are attempting 
to deprive people of usable public data on the basis that "some" people 
might misinterpret that data. Isn't this a reason that would be given by 
someone wanting to ban books like the *Anarchists Cook Book* or even 
*Atlas Shrugged*. And that's NOT an acceptable excuse for NATIONAL 
SECURITY to be invoked or INTERFERENCE IN POLICE operations and 
interactions concerning the safety of the PUBLIC. NOT having information 
makes the PUBLIC less safe.

Which means the police are withholding PUBLIC information to create 
disinformation by censoring the facts to create a FAKE reality.

It smalls of the Democrats FBI/TWITTER Collusion where the police are 
linked into *THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH* which is a SHADOW GOVERNMENT AGENCY 
that was created through unconstitutional back doors so that the 
DemocratRegime in office could weaponize the Government to manipulate 
and spread misinformation.

The FACTS aren't biased, they're facts.  And so offering the FACTS or 
hiding the FACTS is NOT part of the algorithm as to what is and isn't 
biased.  Hiding the facts to help people is a TROJAN HORSE that's being 
presented to hide the true nature of what the police and Government is 
attempting to do.

-------------------------------------------------------


Now the FBI and the CDC are trying to pass off their misinformation and 
disinformation along with all the censorship by *THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH* 
as science. It's become OBVIOUS with the VIRUS/VACCINE lies by the CDC 
that they don't work for the people, but do work against WE THE PEOPLE.

That would indicate it's a cultural way of solving problems.  NOT a 
problem with the RIGHT of the people TO KEEP and BEAR arms.  Are 
Democrats and the CDC proposing that the Government destroy the cultural 
roots of the BLACK AMERICANS? Or all Americans? To solve a problem 
that's limited to someone's choice of life style.

There you go, quit brushing reality under the rug because the pile of 
dirt under the rug is like a small mountain.  Admit to the problem and 
report the actual real numbers and apply some real science and quit 
lying to us and the CDC  might actually do something for Americans 
rather than against the Americans.

That must be why Lori Lightfoot Mayor of Chicago accepts all the 
Democrat Violence in Chicago, it's just normal life for people living 
under Democrat lies.

gun deaths has been around 30,000 for many years... that doesn't 
actually leave many people dying as victims of violent crimes where guns 
were the murder weapon, and you'd still have to deduct anyone shot by 
police or home owners in self defense... because the criminals aren't 
victims of crime when they're the ones committing them.

SO why do Democrats want assisted suicide when people seem to choose 
self inflicted gunshots, and that number doesn't include all the people 
that used drugs like Fentenyl to escape the reality of life.

We can tell this is WOKE BS by the use of "Latinx" in the choice of 
language..  yes Woke-ish like English and Latin is a language used to 
express patterns of thought.

There is no such thing as an "investment" in a person or community, 
people are not monetary items they have no monetary value, unless of 
course you're a Woke Democrat who subscribes to one of the many cults 
like the Cult of the Critical Race Theory believers who see a person as 
a slave and an investment.

And TWITTER and the FBI lied about working together as a part of the 
SHADOW GOVERNMENT to limit free speech.

They became the *Ministry of TRUTH* that was run by the *SHADOW* 
*GOVERNMENT* .

For those out there that said *the SHADOW GOVERNMENT is tinfoil hat* 
*territory*  ...you better stock up on tinfoil.
