All the ways the media is misleading you about a record spike in Florida
CONSERVATIVEREVIEW.COM -- Once you study the data and see why COVID-19 cases are going up while deaths decline every day, it's clear reality is the exact opposite of the panic the media is pushing. Several weeks into the "spike" in cases, deaths are plummeting, reaching the lowest level on Sunday and down 90% since the peak. The discovery of more cases with lower deaths *is a good thing*. Hospitalizations and ICU usage are also not on the rise nationwide, despite jam-packed protests in nearly every state for the past three weeks. The virus continues to prove itself less deadly than previously thought and likely becoming milder as time goes on. This chart from the Florida Department of Health says it all ...

Human Zoos: America's Forgotten History of Scientific Racism
HUMANZOOS.ORG -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Human Zoos, is a devastating indictment of what happens when "consensus science" -- created by America's elite institutions: the American Museum of Natural History, Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Smithsonian, Ohio State, UC Berkeley, the University of Texas, even the Supreme Court -- is not only patently wrong but then goes on to set repugnant public policies unguided by religious moral foundations and truths. It tells the story of courageous African-American ministers in New York City who tried, unsuccessfully, to stop the horrors. Human Zoos is the horrifying story of America's scientific elite's effort, in the early 20th Century, to dehumanize entire classes of people in the name of science, specifically the Theory of Evolution, when thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in cages.] ARTICLE: "You have to see [Human Zoos] to believe it, and then wonder why they didn't teach you this chapter in history class. ... a story that will mesmerize you." -- Oregon Documentary Film Festival. Human Zoos has won numerous awards including from the Oregon Documentary Film Festival, Cinema WorldFest Awards and the Hollywood Independent Documentary Awards. ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Our Coronavirus Response Is Making Us Lose Our Humanity
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- At my local grocery store this week I came across an older man looking distressed at the many options of formula in front of him. I asked if he needed help to find what he was looking for, because I know that can be overwhelming. He said he knew what he needed but it was so darn expensive. He needed to get it for his daughter, who was in town because she lost her job due to the coronavirus. We parted but I just felt a pull to purchase a of couple cans for him. He broke down in tears, saying he had been contemplating how to steal those cans. Then he embraced me. We didn't have masks. All we had was our humanity. And that's exactly ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
