Remember how #DANGEROUS #IVERMECTIN is claimed to be?

How doest that fit with Mercks’ (ivermectin) Mectizan Donation Program since 1987…
https://mectizan.org/

Established in 1987, the Mectizan Donation Program (MDP) is the longest-running drug donation program for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). MDP works with partners in over 45 countries in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific to achieve a future free of river blindness (onchocerciasis) and lymphatic filariasis (LF or elephantiasis). Across the globe, millions of people are at risk of infection with these debilitating illnesses.

oh, and Merck silently stopped donating to #Congo at the start of 2020 … probably they didn’t want the world to find out that there is a drug which prevents the covid19 jabs to be granted an FDA’ EUA license🧐

Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the FDA Commissioner may allow unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by CBRN threat agents when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.

i-War Defiance: (1997) how to setup (windows 7 and windows 10) with 3D acceleration - a old but genious scifi space ship simulator with real mass drifting inertia

Have the player ever marveled at the pretty looks of the stars (suns) in the “Elite Dangerous” universe… they are gorgious.

the player can almost feel the heate of this star’s fusion reaction…

Whoever says “Elite Dangerous” is a realistic simulation of how spaceships move in space… got things pretty wrong…

“Elite Dangerous” is simulating flight like “airplanes” fly…

Wherese iwar and SpaceEngineers actually simulates the inertia of massive objects much better… which ALSO makes for interesting space fights. (they do not need to be like dog fights within an atmosphere, but yes, inertia & thrust play a critical role in this and as can be seen in the intro… inertia can be one’s friend).

i-War: how to setup?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-War_(1997_video_game)

the intro

[video width=”624″ height=”262″ mp4=”https://dwaves.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/i-war-independence-war-defiance-intro.mp4″\]\[/video\]

how to run a 16Bit setup?

tested and the setup can be made to work with win 7 pro 64bit

via this trick:

“have Independence War Deluxe Edition (IWDE) original discs.

After installing nGlide

(backup here: nGlide210_setup.exe.zip)

managed to install it:

  1. Copied disk 1 of IWDE and/or Defiance disk to a temp directory (depending on what you will install) (e.g. C:\games\iwar\)
  2. Downloaded IS3engine. It is a zip that contains a file called setup32.exe. I unzipped setup32.exe to temp directory
    • backup: Is3Engine.zip (sha512sum: 79d43bf8fc63d5ae4ed4c8902ce371bd2ba713a2b8fcb0b247eabd32782b5e30ba493303826303c7f946f784df9b497cb8bd741be974adc3b7ad8e649cfca1d7 Is3Engine.zip)
  3. Run setup32.exe
  4. It installs like a charm.
    Now for compatibility…
  5. Right click on the Iwar.exe (for defiance it would be IWDE.exe)
  6. Properties > Compatibility
  7. Check Run this program in compatibility
  8. Select Windows XP SP3 in the dropdown list
  9. Press Ok
  10. not done yet: Creating registry entries so the game find’s the “Next Disc 2”
    • When IS3engine installs, it adds your install directory as the CD drive
    • need to correct registry entry to read the proper drive
    • In this example will use drive D: as CD-ROM drive. Feel free to modify this to adapt to your drive letter.
  11. Open notepad and post the following text, depending on what you installed.
  12. If you installed only Independece War, paste this

start registry editor with: Start -> run -> regedit

(needs to be run as Administrator)

(D: is the drive letter of the real or virtual cdrom that is the source if iwar installation)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Particle Systems\I-War]
@="<strong>D:</strong>"

If you installed Independece War and Defiance, paste this too

<pre class="quote_container">[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Particle Systems\IWDE]
@="D:"

If you installed only Independece War, and you have a 64bit machine, paste this

<pre class="quote_container">Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Particle Systems\I-War]
@="D:"

If you installed Independece War and Defiance, and you have a 64bit machine paste this too

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Particle Systems\IWDE]

@=”D:”

So, for example, if you install both Independence war and defiance, your registry file should contain this…

<pre class="quote_container">Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Particle Systems\I-War]
@="D:"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Particle Systems\IWDE]
@="D:"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Particle Systems\I-War]
@="D:"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Particle Systems\IWDE]
@="D:"

10. Save text file and close notepad

11. Rename the text file so instead of TXT extension it should have REG extension.

12. Double click the file you just created. This creates the registry entry to registed drive D: as your CD-ROM. If your drive letter is different, edit the text above to assign the proper drive letter.

————————————

Now fingers crossed & run the game 🙂

13. Double click on the Iwar.exe or iwde.exe

Update. Check posts down below for additional steps ”

http://www.theworldforgotten.com/showthread.php?t=6343

to run iwar.exe in 3DFx mode r-click on the iwar.exe -> new link

r-click on the link -> properties

iwar.exe -b -16 800x600 -english

managed all of this? congratz

the game should now work full screen, full res in all it’s 1997 beauty.

Is China Really a Threat? Noam Chomsky Slams Biden For Increasingly Provocative Actions in Region

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjjND_ky6t4

'The #Biden #administration is continuing a #reckless #foreign #policy, despite taking a softer tone than the #Trump administration. “The trajectory is not #optimistic,” #Chomsky says. “The worst case is the increasing #provocative #actions towards #China. That’s very #dangerous.”

Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww47bR86wSc

#DietrichBonhoeffer argued that #stupid #people are more #dangerous than #evil ones. This is because while we can #protest against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are #defenseless — reasons fall on deaf ears. #Bonhoeffer's famous text, which is slightly edited for this video, serves any #free #society as a #warning of what can happen when certain people gain too much #power. #theory #stupidity #sprouts

Apple Spy Phone

90+ #policy and #rights #groups around the #world wrote #TimCook today to warn Apple that releasing its new, #universally-condemned #SpyPhone #update "will have laid the #foundation for #censorship, #surveillance and #persecution on a #global #basis."

#Princeton #Computer #Scientists: #Apple is " #gambling with #security, #privacy and #freespeech #worldwide."
The #core #design of Apple's new " #child-safety" #system—comparing your #photos against a #secret #blacklist—is #dangerous and "easily #repurposed for surveillance and censorship."

#EdwardSnowden: ' #Journalists should press HARD on the spyPhone #scandal. It is indefensible for Apple, which positions itself as a #pro-privacy #company, to push a #harshly #criticized #surveillance #paradigm into #one #billion #phones despite #condemnations by both #security #experts and #rights #groups.'

[] So when I am in a familiarly #dangerous situation where I feel #threatened because of my past #experiences, there is a good chance my #reflex is going to be #fight and not #flight and that “fight” might just be a #pint glass over the head when #you put your #hands around my #throat. #Choking someone because they threw a #drink on you for continually #harassing [them] is a disproportionate response. As far as I’m concerned, not #listening when a #woman says “no” to your #sexual advances and failed #pick-up artistry is #equal to throwing the first #punch, and I was sticking up for #myself. I have no #regrets, despite what my #face may look like. The fact I feel like I have to #explain all this in my #defense is ridiculous. []
