Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings

Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.

Bob,
You are not doing justice to your endeavor, but are only losing sight of the forest for the trees. You just refuse to accept the simple fact that DM is much worse than even Capitalism, because while Capitalism may not make everyone happy as in it everyone cannot bake a big pie for themselves, DM makes everyone unhappy by shrinking the only possible common pie to almost nothing...
Statements re Human Self-Governance (NWO/GR)
(Generally accepted by a tournament chess players group on the Canadian national chess discussion board, ChessTalk (Non-Chess Forum). The CT'ers are discussing Human Self-Government and the New World Order/Great Reset problem.They represent the partisan political spectrum and the issue spectrum.)
Statement # 9
When we add "human nature" to "power" in governing, corruption and abuse of power result. This is the reason all political human self-governance structures have resulted in:
I) the creation of an elite group who wield the power, and
II) the exploitation, by the elite group, of the powerless and marginalized segments of society.
Supporting Reasons
Human nature has both a "light" and a "dark" element. When born, we lean towards the light, like a flower. But the unjust traumas of life cause us to be more aware of the "dark side", and we retrench, and believe that self-interest is important (Which it is). But telling healthy self-interest and anti-social self-interest from each other, and deciding to do the right thing, becomes more difficult, the more wounded we become.
Wounded individuals, as well as well-intentioned individuals, get elected in representative government. It is difficult in campaigns to tell the sheep from the goats, or, the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Processing
In one week no CT'er has launched a "Revision" and/or an "Opposition" Challenge.
Conclusion
Statement # 9 is generally accepted and joins the list of generally accepted Statements.

Statements Generally Accepted by Democratic Marxists in a tournament chess players group on the Canadian national chess discussion board, ChessTalk (Non-Chess Forum). The CT'ers are discussing Human Self-Government and the New World Order/Great Reset problem.They represent the partisan political spectrum and the issue spectrum.
Statement # 3
Democratic Marxism respects all religions, and those not adopting religion, but is neutral between them all. DM takes no position on Atheism, Agnosticism or the Theisms. It will not be a theocracy, but a neutral civic administrator.
Supporting Reasons
Government has no business allying itself with any particular Church, Mosque, Temple, Synagogue. But being respectful of Religions, and being neutral religiously in civic administration, does not necessarily mean that government employees must check the unique trappings of their religion at the door of their civic place of employment.
Despite the conflicts resulting from the actions of various religions, both now and historically, it is the case that all religions teach citizens a model of a good life in society (Though adherents more or less adopt the model). Society in general benefits from this, and in the balance, the positive for society has outweighed the negative.

"We [Bob A & Dilip) both agree that if a hard and smart-working, disciplined family is unable to live comfortably, then something is wrong with the system we are following."
Response
We have found another Statement on which, at least, you and I agree..........so I will propose this as a new HS-G Statement.
I fear that the issue is not efficiency and excess spending (Though your comments seems valid re socialized medicine, even so, no Canadian is willing to opt instead for the USA Health Care model, except you and some extreme, wealthy Canadian Oligarchs). It is the very dynamic of Capitalism which MUST keep some pool of poor, for there to be a much smaller pool of rich.......this drives ever wider, by necessity, the wage gap. This is why Capitalist Social Democracy arose ........ to try to find ways within Capitalism to moderate the rate of divergence between the haves and the have-nots.
Replacing Capitalism with some type of Democratic Socialism seems at least a first step on a cure.
But you do not seem to have a very high opinion of the majority of Canadian working families...........the most recent survey said that over 1/2 working Canadians had less that $ 200 savings in the bank to meet unexpected expenses.........they live paycheck to paycheck.......I guess these are the ones limited by "laziness and lack of discipline and ability" (Your words - Post # 315 - 23/9/7)?
Bob A (As Participant)
Bob,
We both agree that if a hard and smart-working, disciplined family is unable to live comfortably, then something is wrong with the system we are following. Your DM can only make things worse, because in it people will be always struggling to get a decent portion of an ever-shrinking common pie; and DM will definitely make the common pie shrink rapidly, as running anything efficiently will become the government's business, and for the bunch of government appointed administrators who do not have their own skin at stake if the system is a mess, the only task will be to convince everyone that the system is very very expensive to run; take for example our government-run health care system: being in it ever since I came to Canada decades ago, I know the huge amount of sheer waste there is in it... patients could be provided with much better care at half the cost, if it is run the way private medicine used to be practiced when I was a child and youngster in a lower middle-class family in India... my family and other families in our community always felt assured that they could afford all the necessary health-care even though they had limited financial means... the secret to success in that system was efficiency, and absence of bureaucracy! The 'success' of the health care providers depended on how efficient they were, not on how cunning they were in manipulating a bureaucratically run system... their 'success' depended upon keeping their patients happy, not on keeping their bureaucratic masters happy!

No Sid - DM does not have any intention of establishing a utopia - that is for the ideologue theorists.........
But the wage gap will definitely narrow.........world wars will be more difficult to engage in, as will local wars...........those wielding power will have less opportunity for corruption (No political system will eradicate it)...........the worker will finally be paid something commensurate with their labour contribution to society.
Of course, the ordinary resident of the planet is interested in this result of electing a DM Government...........not very much at all, the current elite wielding power under Capitalism and exploiting all workers.
majority of Canadian working families...........the most recent survey said that over 1/2 working Canadians had less that $ 200 savings in the bank to meet unexpected expenses.
But things will be just peachy for them under a Marxist system.

"So now you [Bob A/DM] are labeling legal theft as 'forced altruism'. You seem to be endorsing what is happening (and being condoned) in USA: "You need something you have not earned enough for? Go steal it from a mall! The next time you need a good chess clock to improve your on-board skills, and don't have one and can't buy one, steal it at your next tournament!!"
DM Response
Dilip, you play with words too loosely. Let's define a few things.
Theft/Steal - where a material possession (And sometimes mental possessions e.g. copyright) of one person is "Illegally" removed from them permanently, and there are no excusing extenuating circumstances.
Progressive Taxation - The Canadian Encyclopedia - "Taxes are mandatory payments by individuals and corporations to government. They are levied to finance government services, redistribute income, and influence the behaviour of consumers and investors. The Constitution Act, 1867 gave Parliament unlimited taxing powers and restricted those of the provinces to mainly direct taxation (taxes on income and property, rather than on activities such as trade). Personal income tax and corporate taxes were introduced in 1917 to help finance the First World War (seeIncome Tax in Canada)."
So taxing the citizen/corporation is NOT "Theft". This transfer of wealth to the state from the private sector is a societal obligation to fund the operations and structure of national society. Society votes on whatever system and level of taxation it wants.....citizens have made changes, through Parliament, and Legislatures, to try to make the taxation systems of the past, more fair in the present. It is legal transfer of property under laws passed by the society itself.
If Libertarianism have a taxation system that is the best ever developed, then why is it not accepted by society as large.......Libertarian taxation policies are NOT "generally accepted" by the majority of voters in either Canada nor USA.
The Rationale in Capitalism
The taxpayer funds a societal/economic system. In this system, it acknowledges that there is not a level playing field. The starting blocks in advance are those of the elite; the starting blocks of the poor and vulnerable are way back. One can "say" there is equality of opportunity, as one can say about a race between a 4 legged horse and a 3-legged horse. But we all know who will increase their wealth with the winner's prize. So to compensate for being one of the advantaged in the system, and thus gaining the most personal wealth from the system, the tax laws say that fairness to society entails that those gaining the most from the system should bear the most cost of carrying the system. It is an equitable redistribution of wealth within the system, so those further behind can be allowed to catch up a bit. The economic system is paid for by all workers, rich or poor. The winners in the system, the wealthy should contribute more to this system, out of which they have generated such wealth.
So yes, you accurately describe the taxation system, in a sense, as "forced altruism by the citizen to run their own society".
Note: Otherwise the inevitable wage gap required by Capitalism to be successful, would be many times wider than it already is.
Coming Down the Capitalist Pipe
The next new legal taxation law (There's that word again) is going to be the "Wealth Tax". I'm sure Capitalist Libertarians are ready to do battle with all other Capitalists on this one!
Is it necessary for government to be funded at all?
After all, at one time in Canada, there were not personal nor corporate tax laws!
I know of no Libertarian policy to do away totally with laws that deal with societal taxation......this is one set of laws that will co-exist with the Natural Law. Surely Libertarian policy is not that government will run on citizen "DONATION"???
Bob A (Democratic Marxist; as Participant)
Bob,
I agree with you that Capitalism has major drawbacks as a viable system, and hence 'progressive' taxation has been used as a counterpunch, to steal back from the rich what capitalism has enabled them to steal from the poor. But doing a wrong thing to counter something wrong is not what society should clamor for; two wrongs do not make a right. In Libertarianism, lack of capital does not make you a three-legged horse, to use your phrase. It is by far laziness and lack of discipline and ability that make you so, and those who are hard and smart-working in a disciplined way DO NOT owe anything to lazy, dumb-witted bums, do you get it? When someone next steals a chess clock at a tournament, they are just using your forced altruism on the owner of that clock who has owned it for so long that you consider him a four-legged horse. And by yourself stealing from the mall, you are simply removing the middle-man (your government), and enforcing forced altruism yourself. The word salad of Marxism which you have used does not hide the fact that most taxation (besides that for the judicial functions of a lean government where your government 'servant' does not use tax money to spend 20,000 pounds to have fun in the hotel singing songs and spend tax-paid time to unnecessarily prolong his/her stay at someone's funeral, instead of returning back by the overnight flight), is nothing but stealing from someone who has the discipline to learn to earn, simply to win a lot of votes by bribing a lot of people who would rather spend time at the local bar or watching soap opera, instead of being disciplined enough to improve their earning ability...

Health officials made the recommendation that covid injections are safe and effective for pregnant women based on a 42-day study from Pfizer involving 44 rats.18 What’s more, the Pfizer-BioNTech rat study revealed the injection more than doubled the incidence of preimplantation loss and also led to a low incidence of mouth/jaw malformations, gastroschisis (a birth defect of the abdominal wall) and abnormalities in the right-sided aortic arch and cervical vertebrae in the foetuses.19
“In that study the foetal loss rate DOUBLED (4.2% to 9.8%) but had little impact on the overall number of foetuses,” Jikkyleaks tweeted, sharing the chart above. “This is how this information is hidden. That single slide should have been enough to prompt much more investigation, because it showed fewer foetuses in EVERY GROUP.”20,21 Shocking Decline in Birth Rates Post-Covid Injections
Birth rates in multiple European countries fell significantly in the end of 2021, months after covid injections became widely utilised. The data,22 compiled by a team of European researchers, found declines in birth rates in all the countries they studied, including:23
Germany
Austria
Switzerland
France
Belgium
Netherlands
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
Latvia
Lithuania
Sweden
Portugal
Spain
Czech Republic
Hungary
Poland
Romania
Slovenia
Iceland
Northern Ireland
Montenegro
Serbia
The team explained:24
In advance it should be noted that every single examined European country shows a monthly decline in birth rates of up to more than 10% compared to the last three years. It can be shown that this very alarming signal cannot be explained by infections with covid-19.
However, one can establish a clear temporal correlation to covid vaccinations incidence in the age group of men and women between 18 and 49 years. Therefore, in-depth statistical and medical analyses have to be demanded.
The declines in birth rates ranged from a low of 1.3% in France to a high of 19% in Romania. Seven countries had a decline in birth rate of more than 10%, while 15 countries had declines of greater than 4%. Switzerland’s drop was said to have exceeded the drop that occurred from World War I, World War II, the Great Depression and the release of oral contraceptives.25
No connection was found between the declines in birth rates and covid infections or hospitalisations, with the team noting:26
Adverse reactions related to the female reproductive organs and study findings related to male fertility point to a causal interpretation of the association of birth declines and the covid-19 vaccinations. Covid Injections Affect Menstrual Cycles
It remains unknown how covid injections affect reproductive health in men and women. For instance, as The Vaccine Reaction reported: “To date, the manufacturer’s insert for FDA-approved covid shots explicitly states that it has not been tested for the potential to impair male fertility.” However, data on US infertility after the rollout of covid injections aren’t available.27
Meanwhile, women around the globe have reported changes in their menstrual cycles following covid injections, and health officials largely brushed off the reports or labelled them anecdotal.
But a study published in Obstetrics & Gynaecology – and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (“NICHD”) and the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) Office of Research on Women’s Health – confirms an association between menstrual cycle length and covid injections.28
Clinical trials for covid injections did not collect data about menstrual cycles following injection, and VAERS does not actively collect menstrual cycle information either, making it difficult to initially determine whether the injections were having an effect. Anecdotal reports on social media, however, are numerous and, according to the study, “suggest menstrual disturbances are much more common …”29
The Obstetrics & Gynaecology study involved 3,959 individuals between the ages of 18 and 45 years. Those who had not received a covid injection noted no significant changes in cycle 4 during the study compared to their first three cycles.
Those who received covid injections, however, had longer menstrual cycles, typically by less than one day, when they received the injections. The longer cycles were noted for both doses of the injection, with a 0.71-day increase after the first dose and 0.91-day increase after the second dose.30 Cycle Changes of Eight Days or More Noted
The overall declines were described as not clinically significant. However, some women, particularly those who received two shots in the same menstrual cycle, experienced significant changes, including a two-day increase in cycle length and, in some cases, changes in cycle length of eight days or more. Considering a regular menstrual cycle is “an overt sign of health and fertility,”31 any changes could have major ramifications.
Further, the team noted: “Questions remain about other possible changes in menstrual cycles, such as menstrual symptoms, unscheduled bleeding, and changes in the quality and quantity of menstrual bleeding.”32
Taken together, the links to miscarriage, reproductive changes and declining birth rates raise major red flags about the safety of covid injections for people of reproductive age. As such, the European research team echoed Thorp in calling for a moratorium on covid injections for pregnant women, and took it a step further, suggesting a suspension for everyone of reproductive age:33
Given the considerable individual and social relevance of the link between vaccination campaigns and declining birth rates, the immediate suspension of covid-19 vaccination for all persons of childbearing and reproductive age should be called for. Sources and References
Hi Sid, Is there any date supporting this? The following link shows that the fertility decline has not accelerated 2020 till now at least:
.
Hi Dilip,
Covid injections linked to increase in miscarriages and decline in birth rates
Compared to the flu vaccine, covid injections are associated with a significant increase in adverse events among women of reproductive age. Data revealed a 27-fold higher risk of miscarriage and a more than twofold increased risk of adverse foetal outcomes across six different categories following covid injections.
Covid injection contents are biodistributed into the bloodstream within hours and cross “all physiologic barriers including the maternal-placental-foetal barrier and the blood-brain barriers in both the mother and the foetus.”
Birth rates in multiple European countries fell significantly at the end of 2021, months after covid injections became widely utilised.
Researchers have called for the immediate suspension of covid vaccination for all persons of childbearing and reproductive age.

While a typical vaccine must undergo 10 to 12 years of trials before it’s released, during the pandemic, covid injections were made available to the public just 10 months after development, courtesy of an Emergency Use Authorisation.1 Even pregnant women were subjected to the injections, and in many cases were mandated to receive them.
“The pushing of these experimental covid vaccines globally is the greatest violation of medical ethics in the history of medicine, maybe humanity,” Dr. James Thorp, a maternal-foetal medicine expert, told Tucker Carlson.2 Thorp and colleagues published a preprint study that found striking risks to pregnant women who received the injections, along with their unborn babies.3
The outcomes were so dire that the researchers concluded pregnant women should not receive covid injections until further research is completed. “A worldwide moratorium on the use of covid vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomised prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring,” they explained.4

Thorp and colleagues used data from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (“VAERS”) to assess adverse events experienced by women of reproductive age following receipt of a covid injection, compared to receipt of a flu vaccine. Compared to the flu vaccine, covid injections were associated with a significant increase in adverse events (“AE”), including:5
Menstrual abnormality
Miscarriage
Foetal chromosomal abnormalities
Foetal malformation
Foetal cystic hygroma
Foetal cardiac disorders
Foetal arrhythmia
Foetal cardiac arrest
Foetal vascular malperfusion
Foetal growth abnormalities
Foetal abnormal surveillance
Foetal placental thrombosis
Low amniotic fluid
Foetal death/stillbirth
“When normalised by time-available, doses-given, or persons-received, all covid vaccine AE far exceed the safety signal on all recognised thresholds … Pregnancy and menstrual abnormalities are significantly more frequent following covid vaccinations than that of Influenza vaccinations,” the researchers noted.6
Specifically, the data revealed a 27-fold higher risk of miscarriage and a more than twofold increased risk of adverse foetal outcomes across six different categories, according to board-certified internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough.7 Were Nurses Issued Gag Order Against Speaking Out?
Problems began to appear shortly after covid injections were rolled out, such that a leaked email from a large California hospital was sent out in warning to 200 nurses. The email, from September 2022, contained the subject line, “Demise Handling,” referring to an increase in stillbirths and foetal deaths. A The Conservative Woman report by journalist Sally Beck shared the email’s content, which read:8
It seems as though the increase of demise patients [babies] that we are seeing is going to continue. There were 22 demises [stillbirths and foetal deaths] in August [2022], which ties [equals] the record number of demises in July 2021, and so far in September [2022] there have been 7 and it’s only the 8th day of the month.
Beck reports that one nurse, Michelle Gershman, who works in the neonatal ward had her bonus withheld because she spoke out about the rise in foetal deaths. “We used to have one foetal demise per month. That rose to one or two per week,” Gershman said. Beck reported:
Her experience, and the experience of doctors working with pregnant women, is contrary to official “safe and effective” observation and advice, but no one was free to speak out because of a gagging order imposed in September 20219 by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ACOG).
… At the beginning of the rollout, in December 2020, pregnant women who were healthcare workers or deemed to be at risk from Covid began receiving the shots. By May 2021, the vaccine was being recommended to all pregnant American women.
This is despite the fact that none of the vaccine manufacturers had completed reproductive toxicology reports in animals, and none had started clinical trials in pregnant women. Two months later, hospitals noticed a huge increase in miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm births, pregnancy complications and menstrual abnormalities.
Covid Injections Should Be Category X
The mRNA from covid injections circulates in the body for 28 days or more, and the spike protein may trigger clotting, bleeding and tissue damage, according to Dr. McCullough.
Because of this and other concerns, he states that, conservatively, covid injections should be given the Category X designation during pregnancy,10 which means, “The risk of use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.”11
Unfortunately, health officials in the US continue to affirm its safety, even for vulnerable populations such as this, as they have from the very beginning. “Shockingly, in the very first week of mass vaccination in December of 2020,” McCullough wrote, “newsreels depicted well-intentioned pregnant mothers getting injected with synthetic lipid nanoparticles laced with long-lasting mRNA coding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology Spike protein.”12
Thorp’s study also reported that Pfizer’s data showed covid injection contents are biodistributed into the bloodstream within hours and cross “all physiologic barriers including the maternal-placental-foetal barrier and the blood-brain barriers in both the mother and the foetus.”13
A separate study is, in fact, looking at using ionisable lipid nanoparticles (“LPNs”) like those used as mRNA delivery platforms in covid injections, as tools to deliver drugs to the placenta, because they’re so effective at reaching it.
“LNPs enhance mRNA stability, circulation time, cellular uptake and preferential delivery to specific tissues compared to mRNA with no carrier platform,” the researchers wrote.14 But the study contains some concerning data, which was shared on Twitter:15,16
User Jikkyleaks tweeted, “This could be one of the biggest scandals in medicine … Can you see that there are fewer foetuses in all the treatment groups compared to saline? It’s not dramatic, because the authors published that figure instead of the number of foetal losses.”17
