Lookie Here, It’s Rick Perry

August 23, 2021 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Rick Perry has come out of hiding, and by gawd, that boy’s going to Austin!

 

I imagine the legal bills over the investigation into the Department of Energy have left the boy in need of some greenbacks.  I will bet you a fresh five dollar bill American cash money that he’s got an air filter that kills all known germs including the one that causes bad breath and heel spurs.

  1. Gov. Perry is also part owner of the company that created the Biodefense Indoor Air Protection System™.

    Will he ride in with his 10 gallon hat and his spurs on his big white horse to save the day? Will these experts be the ninja covid fighters, a division of the infamous Arizona ninja cyber whatever’s? And yes, prick perry will certainly have a stake in this miracle company. Is he going to announce an IPO?

  3. Perry’s Heating & Air Conditioning Installation & Repair.

    Ask about our alternative energy systems!
    Keeps working, even when the Texas electrical grid goes down!

    Oops. Him again? pRick Perry. With the wildfires around here it has been smoky, so maybe it is Ground Hog’s day with both the myth and the movie having snuck in early.

    It’s only Monday, and the day is young. Who next among the zombies this week? My money is on John Bolton. Got another $5 Ms. JJ? We’ll see your five and raise you 5.

    So in other words, we need science to come up with something other than what science has already discovered works. We will call it science except all of the, you know, actual science stuff.

    Ms. JJ. Nevermind. Just tell us where to send your money. Faster than I could type John Bolton, one Alex Jones has reared his ugly head. No cartoon or movie reference explains that guy, unless maybe there’s a parody of a Rocky re-make mashed up with The Rocky Horror Show.

    Then again, maybe a la The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Mark Bankston Esq. will drop another house load of litigation on Jones and what passes as his attorneys. Lordy was there really a law school at Trump U?

  9. I thought vaccines were “science-based biotech”. What am I missing here? That ex-Gov. Good Hair is an idiot? Or, just a grifter?

    Perry, you idiot, extremely bad timing.

    Your little press availability Monday morning will be completely forgotten by Tuesday. Tuesday is Glorious Trump Reinstatement Day, and the multitudes will rejoice!

  11. Nick,
    Yes it’s science, but not THAT science.
    Like Trump on Saturday telling people to take the COVID vaccine, but they can still have their freedom to decide.

    We’re in a sci-fi-like parallel universe, unfortunately the other one is plain stupid.

  12. Jane & PKM says:

    Oh lordy, what are the words?

    Et tu, Brute?
    Fool me once …
    Don’t ask the question if …

    Of all the many people who should have been duct taped to the vows of silence, Dubya and Cheney’s British playmate Tony Blair has some words of ‘wisdom’ on the exit strategy from Afghanistan.

    Science says Rick Perry’s wallet is empty. This creates a vacuum, and science says that nature abhors a vacuum. Pumping taxpayer dollars into Ricky’s wallet is therefore a science-based solution.

  14. What this says to me is that he had better keep his lawyers on retainer for the next round of lawsuits when his super duper air purifier lets all the kids get sick with COVID.

    Dumb gets Dumber. Imagine that.

  15. Oh how far the mighty have fallen!
    Not one word mentioning Freedumb!, Stop the steal! or Benghazi!! in the Media Advisory. Perry must have forgotten to put on his ‘smart’ glasses that morning.

    Curious how many gullible and duh-mb repugnanticans showed up to see this duh prick perry shitshow if anyone has heard.

    Riclyde McPerry and the Grifters * are working another scam.
    They got money on mind, the giveaway is writing “AT TEXAS STATE CAPITAL” instead of CAPITOL. They appear to have a whole group of sketchy characters helping them out on the grift.
    This ‘miracle’ scientific air purifier is certain to be little more than a fancy UV light, ozonater, and HEPA filter, yippee.
    And probably costing a fortune per obscenely marked up unit.

    pRick & Co seem to be targeting school districts, who have lots of buildings stuffed full of now vulnerable kids, and huge budgets.
    After watching school district after district getting seriously shafted on many construction projects down in the Rio Grande Valley, to the tune of million$ [undoubtedly with the griftee help of district insiders], I can see the same type scheme unfolding here.

    pRicky’s running short on dinero? Woulda thought that he’d have stashed some bundle$ into offshore accounts like the rest of the trumpistas.

  18. Hit the paywall on the Chronicle’s story, but this one has more substance than the other stories Google showed.

    Thanks for the article, P.P. Not to prejudge the 2 guys in the picture, but they seem pretty bored with the snake oil pitch. Not sure if they’re the scientists or just other bored members.
    Couldn’t see the audience but beyond the press, I’m going to bet on 10’s of people.

    P.P. @18, Thanks for the link. That led me to the IVP company website too.
    https://www.ivpair.com

    Lots of slick webpages, cagey wording, PR bullshit, medceleb ‘endorsments’, etc. All the bullcrap that should make a careful buyer’s scam antenna perk up. Huge ‘Medical Disclaimer’ page of legalese…
    I’ve done a bunch of looking around, especially trying to find out the tech. The filters have a HEPA filter and a ‘heating’ filter, that’s apparently it.

    The ‘room mobile unit’ looks like those other filters you see advertised on teevee, moves 550CFM of air, fairly high amount.
    But it costs a whopping $4000! For the room-size one.
    The ‘Venue’ unit is quite a bit bigger, no price shown with it but I saw $10,000 somewhere.
    There’s a very small unit, and huge adjuncts for commercial HVAC units, probably $100K and up.

    I got more, but have a pizza order coming soon [drool], so more later … ;]

  21. john in denver says:

    I am taken by the claim that the technology “can eradicate … submicron organisms, instantly, in a single pass, without a change in the environmental temperature.”

    Putting aside the question of what is meant by “instantly,” I’m wondering how it can happen without a change in the environmental temperature.

    I am not a physicist, but I have heard something about the Conservation of Energy: “a principle in physics: the total energy of an isolated system remains constant irrespective of whatever internal changes may take place with energy disappearing in one form reappearing in another.”

    I do hope someone asks Mr. Perry to explain what sort of eradication does not generate any heat. Maybe he learned something while being a Secretary of Energy, like how to suspend laws of physics along with laws of ethics?

  22. Sandridge says:

    Correction, the bigger “Venue” size is $14,000, 1800CFM, to 30K cuft.
    The smallest [up to 250sqft, a closet] is $1000. Urk.

    john in denver @21, from the description below “through heated filtration”. So if the air passes through a [intensely] heated filter element it should be heated itself. Unless it then goes through a refrigeration unit, which in turn has to dispose of the heat, and I see no evidence of that. Microwaves? Nuke ’em?

    Room unit, $4000:
    “Our mid-sized unit is built to move from room to room , proven scientifically to kill airborne viruses through heated filtration.
    Used in classrooms, office buildings, medical offices, restaurants an small theaters
    Airflow – 550 cfm
    Dimensions – 29x19x25
    Suggested room size- up to 2,000 sq. ft.”

    From the room size spec sheet :
    Max. Electrical Power 1,000 watts [about that of an 10K BTU portable A/C]
    Biodefense Filter Lifespan 20,000 hrs
    Warranty [the heated one]
    HEPA Filter Lifespan 18,000 hrs

    Another thing, cleaning the ambient air isn’t going to stop direct person-to-person transfer of the COVID virus, depending on relative positions, etc. Hence the big ‘medical disclaimer’ legalese.

    At much lower prices these filters might be worth it. But they obviously carry a huge cost overhead…
    Would like to see a Consumer Reports review, heheh.

  23. Anything these two think up or endorse should be an immediate alarm bell for fraud! I’ve heard of tis “air cleaner” before and it ain’t no cure all!

  24. We should be doing more to filter air in school classrooms. A good filter can make a big difference, especially in combination with masks. Unfortunately for guys like Perry, these designs

    https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/how-to-make-a-box-fan-air-purifier/

    don’t produce the necessary grift for their purposes.

    I can’t believe he didn’t sign a deal to market them as Trump Filters. Just as successful as Trump Air, Trump Steaks, Trump University…

  26. The Surly Professor says:

    Some of my work has been with the Department of Energy. When Perry was named to the DoE by T****, friends there chided me that I was being overly critical, that “he can’t really be that stupid”. They figured it had to be an act, something to make the rubes in Texas like him. It took less than two months before they realized that yes, he really can be and is that stupid.

    Several people retired rather than put up with it, and they were scientists, engineers, and mathematicians – not useless administrators and managers. It’s not just the loss of “institutional knowledge”, but the abilities that NONE of the Trumpoids has ever shown. We’ll never get that back, either. Anyone want to rely on Liberty University graduates to carry out research on magnetohydrodynamics or pollution tranport in sedimentary basins? I can see some Bob Jones University (sic) student frantically flipping through the Bible trying to find what the decay chain for plutonium is. [I’d probably tell them it’s in Ecclesiastes, just to get them to read it].

    It’s not only the DoE. The damage done by Trump’s no-nothing attitude and anti-immigrant hysteria is across the government and industry. I highly doubt some doofus with giant Trump flags on his jacked-up pickup truck is going to be programming supercomputers ….
