Ms Spouse claims that some scammer (not affiliated with the Space Nazi) has been selling a bogus "Tesla Medbed" for $11,000. I have not independently confirmed this

Love the video of the guy outrunning ICE. I am here in Chicago right now, and with federal troops having marched on the city this morning, this video is a little bit of FYDT! Yay!

Holly, They may have been too surprised and I hear that the training is really rushed now, so who knows what they know how to do. They may not be prepared to just outright kill people, and I am glad if that is the case.

This reminds me of when ICE raided a restaurant (in San Diego, I think) back in June and the patrons followed them out, shouting, "Shame! Shame! Shame!" until ICE got into their vans and drove away. I think that's all you really have to do, shout "Shame" at them until they leave.

Thank you, AI: "The "Tesla MedBed" is a pseudoscientific concept associated with a conspiracy theory and has no connection to Tesla, the automotive and energy company founded by Elon Musk. The idea has been heavily promoted within QAnon and other fringe communities. Despite being entirely debunked by scientific experts, businesses with misleading names like "Tesla BioHealing" have emerged to sell expensive, unproven health devices. "

Mary Hall's avatar

One important clarification -- Eloon is NOT the founder of Tesla. Tesla was officially founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, two entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley. Eloon was first a venture capitalist in the company they created and later became Chairman of the Board.

Huh. It must be on sale. I've seen reports of medbeds going for a minimum of $16,000 and as much as $22,000.

As usual, the British media are on top of the story: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-64070190

"A converted motel in a small town on the Mississippi River seems an unlikely home for a world-changing technology - what a flyer in the mostly deserted lobby calls a "new wave of scientific healing".

[photo of a rundown motel that manages to be even bleaker and more depressing than you'd expect]

"But since last summer, this building in East Dubuque, Illinois - three hours west of Chicago - has been outfitted with medical devices that supposedly imbue patients with "life force energy". It's one of a number of locations run by Tesla BioHealing - no relation to the car company - dotted around the US."

He never has any idea what the drunken Fox News host running the Pentagon is doing.
