If this is the price to be paid for an idea, then let us pay. There is no need of being troubled about it, afraid, or ashamed. This is the time to boldly say, "Yes, I believe in the displacement of this system of injustice by a just one; I believe in the end of starvation, exposure, and the crimes caused by them." -- Voltairine de Cleyre
So, I hear about this "medbed" thing and search youTube to find some kind of overview about the scam but none of the results do that. They are just advertisements for medbeds or people who think they are real.
shit just tried to do the same search and its awfully true. I thought the results might be biased from the USA side compared to the rest of the world but no, its just a complete radicalization pipeline inside youtube.
This is a scam that targets very sick people. People in horrible pain. People who are scared their loved one is dying and nothing can be done.
It's a kind of scam I have a particular ire for.
I think people have mostly been laughing at it, but this is very real for some people and they think it's their only chance to live. And when they are dead AND broke the scammers will keep their money.
There is an even worse worst case: They go for the scam instead of an effective treatment, and this scam actually kills people that didn't have to die.
@drexer I've noticed in the dementia world that a group of people believe that there MUST be a cure. And if the medical world doesn't have it—or worse is hiding it for nefarious reasons—then “alternative medicine” MUST have the cure. And thus people are more open to scams.
This is made worse by poor understanding of science. I remember in discussions in youth that my rabbi said “what if you do this and there is a cure tomorrow.” Doesn't work this way.
I've found a bunch of private facebook groups where people discuss this stuff. I think that's where the real action (financial transactions) are happening.
Some of these groups seem to be "pay to join" just to find out more about the medbeds. They have a lot of members.
We may not hear from those who are scammed since they feel shame, or they die (this targets the terminally ill) or they are convinced they will get to use the bed if they stay quiet.
In case this needs to be said. Medbeds don't exist. Many of the photos are AI generated and based on MRI machines which larger hospitals use to scan people for things like cancerous tumors, or to plan complex surgeries.
In the past hyperbolic chambers were used to treat polio. No one is hiding this technology.
Want to "do your own research?" wikipedia is OK for this topic.
Do not give someone thousands of dollars if they say you must keep it a secret.
I promise if a medbed was real I would find it because I have a friend who needs one and I'm not someone who cares if people think I'm looking into something "crazy" I don't care.
But there is nothing here but scams and more scammers.
@epicdemiologist @tootbrute @drexer The belief really seems to be based on an idea that a common science-fiction plot device (the "autodoc", a robotic hospital in a tube that can just fix you up) is real.
I suppose it was overdetermined that it in a world with artificial scarcity of medical care and a widespread need to believe in magical health cures, an idea like this would thrive. But I actually never heard of it until today--it entered the QAnon conspiracy world after I'd stopped paying attention to their madness.
A segment of the population simply isn't able to see that this is true at all. Kind of hard to understand but once you understand this suddenly a lot of the other things people are falling for starts to make sense.
To many people Trump is a likable and tough fatherly figure who is honest about his failings and not scared to call out the BS that comes from newspapers and TV shows.
And he never confuses you by talking over your head, he makes the issues simple when most people just want to over-complicate everything because they are hiding something.
This exactly. Trump won because he's *very* good at being a conman. People who keep pretending that his communication skills are bad are deluding themselves.
@epicdemiologist @tootbrute @drexer Scammers have preyed on the terminally ill for a long time. Remember laetrile back in the 70's? Here's a classic Doonesbury strip from 1977 to help you remember ...
It's so destructively dumb that i don't even get to laugh at the fact that, in his dumb medbed post on truth social 8-ish hours ago, he like... uploaded an a.i. deepfake of his own voice.
He just let someone use a computer to generate a counterfeit replica of his voice, dubbed over video of him, and he just uploaded that as if it were something he said out loud in front of a camera in real life. And though the message is garbage, it sounds uncharacteristically coherent (for him).
But no, we can't spend time laughing about that, because now magats are going to be talking about medbeds, a medical technology concept so silly that it was never even depicted on star trek in its 59-year, thousand-ish episode history.
star trek, a show with food/matter replicators, warp engines, instant dermal generators, telepathy, and Q. Medbeds are too silly for that type of fantasy.
In star trek, in the 24th century, people still die in sickbay.
The Drops of Truth: * rich people have access to better medicine * medical knowledge has exceeded what one person can learn in a lifetime * people in the US pay a lot for medical care but don't get their money's worth
The Emotional Hook: * A simple solution for all the pain.
Who wouldn't want this to be real? It's silly but I understand the attraction.
The problem is, there are a large number of people who cannot distinguish TV from reality. It's all just a blur of X-Files and Fox News and YouTube, completely unconnected from any grounding in truth or reality.
Seriously, this is terrifying that people believe it's real. I guess it's because the orange stain is somehow still kicking despite obvious signs of... anyway... I'll crawl back into my non-medbed hole now.
it’s ridiculous. How can they not understand that if such a thing existed they’d be advertised everywhere? Can’t watch the local news without ads for the latest greatest prescriptions and a real med bed would be a license to print money.
"How can they not understand that if such a thing existed they’d be advertised everywhere?"
The conspiracy is that it's alien technology, or human technology that no one knows how to replicate and there are only a few thousand beds, so "they" don't want it to be public since it's a limited resource and "they" want to hog it all for themselves.
Which is kind of believable. The part about rich people doing something like that... not the aliens as much.
A video seemingly shows an AI-generated clip of Donald Trump making an apparently bogus announcement about the conspiracy theory claiming all manner of illnesses can be cured by a medical bed
Cixin Liu wrote a short story (turned into a manga) "Taking Care of God". Something exactly like a medbed is important in the story and is called a cradle. Summary: the cradle; e.g. medbed, using technology that the users do not understand but allows them to live 4000 years. I recommend the story, but not the cradle.
I like Sci-Fi, but not the people using it to sell stuff based on it, and in some cases, not understanding that "Fi" stands for "fiction", is getting old.
I was researching this because I thought it might be the kind of scam one of the characters in my book might be running.
And I might still run with that but I'm mostly disturbed to see something like this in its early stages. I think this will grow and get worse before it gets better.
@CatDragon But even so, "they'd" advertise it and then charge half a billion per use, not give it away for a few thousands to the crafty few who found them.
No you don't understand. With the help of Trump and other patriots a few medbeds have been liberated from the deepstate and they are simply looking for the god fearing Americans who need them most. If you join my facebook group you can learn more.
Sadly there is a waitlist, and it's very expensive for me to run this group. Donations are appreciated.
Funny thing is, the first alien-made sci-fi "medbeds" that pop to mind for me are the sarcophagi from Stargate... y'know, the ones that turn you into an evil megalomaniacal addict.
It says something that people are so desperate for improvements in their own lives that they'd favor a miracle cure for the existence of the health care system over a easy explanation for money and power corrupting.
Somehow the Tesla medical bed, or Tesla Biohealing Wellness Hotel and Resort is not related to Elon Musk. It is also not really related to actual medical care. Dr.

«Allo stesso tempo occorre mettere in evidenza come lo stesso tipo di attenzione negli Stati Uniti sia spesso mancato nei confronti di altre aziende. La Apple, ad esempio, dal 2010 è sotto la lente di ingrandimento per le condizioni dei lavoratori nella fabbrica Foxconn che ne produce smartphone e tablet. L’ultima indagine in ordine di tempo è stata condotta da un’ONG China Labor Watch (non un articolo di giornale) e riguarda l’iPhone 17 uscito negli ultimi giorni, in cui vengono denunciate gravi violazioni dei diritti dei lavoratori». @fucinafibonaccimastodon.uno/@fucinafibonacci/…

Das geht so: Du schnappst dir deinen Ausweis und gehst vor 18 Uhr in dasselbe Wahllokal wie vor zwei Wochen. Dann machst du dein Kreuz bei einer nicht faschistischen Partei.
Wenn du die alte Wahlbenachrichtigung nicht mehr hast, kannst du ersatzweise diesen Tröt vorzeigen. Ist aber kein Muss.

There's a signal failure somewhere between Amsterdam centraal and Utrecht. Usually there's at least 4 trains an hour between the two. There's also 4 trains an hour between Amsterdam Zuid and Utrecht Centraal. The trains from zuid are running still (signal failure must be somewhere around Amstel then). But everyone who wanted to travel from Centraal has taken the metro to Zuid. Those 4 trains an hour are now carrying 8 trains worth of people.
Anyone who's been following me for a while will know I talk about how a train in normal service should never be more than half full. This is why. By not filling the trains. You have resilience. The boss of NS has complained that a lot of the time they are moving warm air around. Yes. That's the resilience of the system. That's now it can cope with problems. It's a feature, not a bug.
The idea that trains should always be full is just fucked up bean counter thinking.
As anyone who heard my public transport rant at crumpet camp at WHY2025 will know, as will long term followers. The purpose of public transport is to transport the public. Nothing more. If it makes a profit, great. But the primary aim. Above all others. Is to transport the public. And to do that safely, and effectively, the system needs resilience. Resilience comes from spare capacity.
If the trains are more than half full. You need to run more trains.
Musetti surclassa Mannarino; è nei quarti di finale a Pechino Con un doppio e perentorio 6-3, 6-3 Lorenzo Musetti supera il francese Adrian Mannarino e si qualifica per i quarti di finale del China Open di Pechino. Il 23enne tennista di Carrara ha giocato con la proverbiale classe e stavolta anche con il piglio giusto tanto che la partita non è mai parsa in discussione.
L'immagine mostra un angolo di una stanza con un camino a legna a destra e un armadio di legno a sinistra.

@gmarcosanti L'immagine mostra un camino in stile tradizionale, con una struttura in mattoni rossi e un frontale in pietra grigia. Il camino è dotato di una finestra di vetro nera che permette di vedere l'interno, dove si intravedono alcuni elementi di accensione. Sopra il camino, c'è un soffitto bianco con due ventilatori incassati. Ai lati del camino, ci sono due mensole in legno. Sul davanzale, si notano alcuni strumenti, come una griglia e una barra, probabilmente utilizzati per la pulizia o la manutenzione. A sinistra del camino, c'è un vaso con una pianta verde. L'ambiente sembra essere un interno domestico, con una luce soffusa che illumina la scena.

@gmarcosanti BBBBello il camino/stufa ! L'ho avuto anni fa ed ora ho ripiegato sulla stufa . Mi era molto utile il camino e poi aveva lo sportello avanti con doppia apertura , una in orizzontale e una tipo bascula che poteva permettermi di tenerlo aperto senza fare uscire fumo . 😁
The photo shows Israeli army trucks with loudspeakers broadcasting Netanyahu’s speech to displaced Gaza residents. Where did the Israeli army get this idea? From the Nazi German army, which spread Hitler’s propaganda in concentration camps.
I love that you can see people waiting on the platform at the next station when looking through the tunnel at Canada Water and Rotherhithe Stations on the Windrush branch of the London Overground.

My dearest wife,
It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We
have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps,
where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze. Our platoon has foraged
for bush food, and is now forced to live on cacao nibs and gluten-free bagels, though Lieutenant
Knickerbocker believes he knows where he can raid some salmon jerky. Not an Arby's is in sight,
and the grumbling of my stomach is part of this ordeal.
This is not the enemy our fearless leaders advised us to expect, in that they are all pale, even
pasty, but defiant or rather not defiant but interested in longwinded discussion of the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, which our officers will not engage in as long as the enemy wears t-shirts
blaspheming against our Lord and our leader. Nevertheless three of our men have defected, one
lured by a tarot reading and a promise of dry socks, two went off to shut down a drag show and
never returned.
