  1. Always enjoy the report and discussion,would appreciate letting John finish his sentences before “jumping in” .

    1. Blackstone Group, Carlyle, and Hellman & Friedman are purchasing majority stake in Medline Industries, a medical supply company. This company does not own or control MEDLINE, the db of medical and health journals, which is a product of EBSCO.

      1. Thanks for the search pointer, it was a bit confusing when trying to find the origin/ownership of Medline.

        It appears that the US government (NIH and National Library of Medicine) owns the Medline index of citations.
        https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medline/medline_overview.html

        EBSCO publishes a commercial database (“Medline COMPLETE”) with full text of articles in the NIH citation index.
        https://www.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/medline-complete

        Both appear unrelated to the supply chain company Medline.

  2. From ‘They Live’ movie the most underrated scene is the fight to force Frank to put the glasses on. You only appreciate the scene after trying that yourself. It is a huge fight.

  4. Yodlee (Envestnet) has “cross-wallet” visibility of millions of consumers. These aggregated data are sold to ML firms that translate & aggregate the bank transactions (linked to individuals) to produce visbility into consumer behavior (retail spending, category share of spend, spending by income bracket, etc.) to PE, VC, & retail brands. See Second Measure, recently acquired by Bloomberg, for one application of this sort of data set. Relatedly, mobile email apps, like Edison, read email receipts, translate and aggregate spending data for insight into consumer behaviors. Vizio sells TVs to consumers cheaply because they sell the viewer data out the back door to iSpot.TV, who then sell access to advertising impressions. Meanwhile, my father is denied access to data collected by his own pacemaker.

  5. Can someone show the link to the study on mammals which were injected with spike proteins and then all died when reinjected with the covid virus. No luck with the search.
    Thanks!

    1. I have never seen a link but early in 2020 I saw a video where Fauchi and 2 others agreed all the ferrets had died when exposed to wild type “whatever” is out there.

  6. Thank you so much for the work you do.

    Re: Blackrock’s ever expanding tentacles, they also recently threw their weight behind a San Francisco based investment firm which staged a coup on ExxonMobil’s board. I read they were able to replace 4 board members, but was only able to immediately identify 3 on Exxon’s website. The new members are a strange amalgamation of interests – indoor farming, wood pellets, twentieth century fox, a Maylasian automotive engineering/defense contractor/real estate developer way out of left field, and the President formerly worked with Hewlett-Packard. Exxon has been criticized for refusing to bow, even in empty publicity efforts, to the woke demand to commit to zero/neutral carbon emissions. Exxon is also the single largest natural gas provider in the country by a large margin and a major economic player of the Texas economy. Seems a take down is imminent.
