They won't let you know the facts that they refuse to measure!

 


The saying "You cannot manage what you do not measure" is often associated with management expert Peter Drucker. The principle itself has a history that predates Peter Drucker by some 2,000 years. As an example of measured success Japan’s path from post-war devastation to export powerhouse involved many important factors, a lot of hard work and a statistician. Two Americans played key roles in the world’s greatest economic recovery story--a story that has altered lifestyles and reinvented production systems around the world—they were Gen. Douglas MacArthur and quality guru Dr. W. Edwards Deming.

MacArthur’s greatest contribution as supreme commander for the Allied Powers in Japan (1945-1951)--a de facto dictator--was to break apart an outdated and ossified economic and social structure, which allowed Japan’s inherent creativity to blossom. “This was all very important for the development of Japan’s post-war economy,” said Masayoshi Tsurumi, an economics professor and financial historian at Hosei University.

On the corporate front, MacArthur smashed the grip of Japan’s family trusts, something Canadians are all too familiar with given the fact Justin Trudeau’s only qualification as Prime Minister is the name of his father. In Japan these trusts were known as zaibatsu, which had dominated Japan’s economy for decades and sent their avaricious tentacles into every corner of economic life, just as Justin has done here. Although some survived in modified form, including Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo, the retrenchment opened the field to a new breed of innovators with names like Sony, Honda, Toyota, and Panasonic that would over the next 30 years catapult Japan onto the global stage.

On the labor front, MacArthur encouraged trade unions, which further checked the oligopolies, broadened Japan’s wealth distribution, and helped develop an increasingly affluent middle class that would serve as a domestic base for exporters. And his farm reform policies, arguably his most far-reaching achievement, blunted the sort of rural discontent that would soon spring Mao Tse-Tung to power in neighboring China, argued MacArthur biographer William Manchester in “American Caesar.”

But most importantly in terms of verifiable production improvements MacArthur unleashed Dr Deming to assist Toyota in inventing tools which would permit those involved in production on the shop floor level to affect changes in production issues as they were being encountered. Some of these include the Plan-Do-Study-Act improvement cycle, control charts, etc., 5 Whys, and Pareto analysis, among many others. Deming transformed the factory by empowering the worker by providing them with tools and information to do his or her job correctly the first time. Moreover, to react to problems with Team Kaizen efforts which would solve quality issues at their source. Thus, the Toyota Production System was born which became the gold standard for process improvement and measurable success.

In appreciation the Japanese created The Deming Prize which is the longest-running and one of the highest quality awards in the world. It recognizes both individuals for their contributions to the field of quality and businesses that have successfully implemented exemplary systems that promote quality of goods and services. It was established in 1951 to honor W. Edwards Deming who contributed greatly to Japan’s proliferation of statistical quality control after World War II. His teachings helped Japan build its foundation by which the level of Japan’s product quality has been recognized as the highest in the world, was originally designed to reward Japanese companies for major advances in quality improvement. Over the years it has grown, under the guidance of the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) to where it is now also available to non-Japanese companies, albeit usually operating in Japan, and also to individuals recognized as having made major contributions to the advancement of quality. The awards ceremony is broadcast every year in Japan on national television. Two categories of the awards are made annually, the Deming Prize for Individuals and the Deming Prize.

Yet we live in an age of the totalizing enterprise of ever-expanding government intervention and bureaucracy while in the face of the increase of state intervention there are almost no methods to verify the successes and failures of taxpayer funded programs. Over 70 plus years after Deming helped revive the Japanese economy our own leaders have forgotten the importance of measurable success.

So let us examine several of the reasons why governments often fail to measure the success of expensive programs:

1. **Groupthink and Echo Chambers**: Decision-making groups with limited perspectives can fall into the trap of groupthink, where countervailing evidence is filtered out of discussions and warning signs about potential pitfalls in a policy are ignored. This can lead to an overemphasis on certain pieces of evidence that support the preferred policy, while ignoring others.

2. **Short Institutional Memories and High Staff Turnover**: High staff turnover can lead to short institutional memories, limiting the capacity for learning because the lessons of the past quickly get forgotten. This can be particularly problematic in democratic governance, where high churn amongst politicians is inevitable.

3. **Overly Rigid Hierarchies and Inward-Looking Institutions**: Institutions with low levels of accountability, where people lower down a decisional chain fear speaking out against a policy orthodoxy, tend to make more policy mistakes.

4. **Bias Towards Project and Product Success**: Organizations often have a bias towards measuring 'project and product success' rather than a broader view of success as 'problems are solved with development impact'.

5. **Complexity of Measuring Success**: The complexity of measuring success can also be a factor. For example, even with billions of dollars spent on weatherization, it's still unclear just how much good this approach to energy efficiency has accomplished.

In particular Socialist governments are most often the leaders of the inefficiency pack. So let us examine several reasons as to why socialist governments may not measure the success of their programs:

1. **Complexity of Central Planning**: Under central planning, there is no profit-and-loss system of accounting to accurately measure the success or failure of various programs. Without profits, there is no way to discipline firms that fail to serve the public interest and no way to reward firms that do.

2. **Inefficiency and Misallocation of Labor**: Under socialist planning, government commands were used to allocate employment and thereby did not permit the hiring or firing of workers for strictly economic reasons. The problem with this was inefficient production, underemployment, and misallocations of labor.

3. **Lack of Democratic Legitimacy**: Some countries feature strong roles of the government in the economy, but because they lack democratic legitimacy, they do not serve the will of society.

4. **Modern Economies are Too Complex to Plan**: The Soviet disaster shows that modern economies are too complex to plan. State ownership and scientific planning would replace the anarchy of the market. However, the complexity of modern economies makes it difficult to plan and measure the success of programs.

Now consider the following measurements coming out of Florida on vaccine injuries

In Florida alone, there was a 1,700% increase in VAERS reports after the release of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to an increase of 400% in overall vaccine administration for the same time period (Figure 1).

The reporting of life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%. This is a novel increase and was not seen during the 2009 H1N1 vaccination campaign. There is a need for additional unbiased research to better understand the COVID-19 vaccines' short- and long-term effects.

The findings in Florida are consistent with various studies that continue to uncover such risks. To further evaluate this, the Surgeon General wrote a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) illustrating the risk factors associated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and emphasizing the need for additional transparency.

According to a study, exit disclaimer iconFraiman J et al, Vaccine. 2022, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events, including coagulation disorders, acute cardiac injuries, Bell’s palsy, and encephalitis. This risk was 1 in 550 individuals, which is much higher than other vaccines.

A second study, exit disclaimer iconSun CLF et al, Sci Rep. 2022, found increased acute cardiac arrests and other acute cardiac events following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

Additionally, exit disclaimer iconDag Berild J et al, JAMA Netw Open. 2022, assessed the risk of thromboembolic and thrombocytopenic events related to COVID-19 vaccines and found preliminary evidence of increased risk of both coronary disease and cardiovascular disease.

While the CDC has identified safety signals for stroke among individuals 65 and older following the bivalent booster administration, there is a need for additional assessments and research regarding safety of all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

To support transparency, the State of Florida reminds health care providers to accurately communicate the risks and benefits of all clinical interventions to their patients, including those associated with the COVID-19 vaccine as additional risks continue to be identified and disclosed to the public.

The State of Florida remains dedicated to protecting communities from the risks of COVID-19 and other public health concerns, specifically by promoting the importance of treatment and promoting prevention through healthy habits. We encourage our health care partners and providers to do the same.

If the Surgeon General of Florida’s assessment is accurate, the data indicates crimes against humanity being perpetrated by governments all throughout the Western World. I suppose that is as good a reason as any for the politicians and bureaucrats not to want people to know what has actually transpired which continues unabated and unchecked by the vast majority of global leaders. Look at this following webpage and tell me if you do not think there is something very odd about its findings. You may access it for yourself at the following link; https://www.floridahealth.gov/newsroom/2023/02/20230215-updated-health-alert.pr.html

So, its time for a little “quality control” of the delusional ideationists whom we have entrusted with our health! We, like MacArthur, must smash the grip of the globalist trusts and multinational conglomerates who are experimenting with the human genetic blueprint because these oligarchs are transhumanists who detest their fellow man!
