Globalists Skulduggeries by Doug Brodie
I’ve done what few other commentators have done by linking the abuses that the globalists have inflicted on us through their Covid scam to the abuses they are inflicting on us without any morally valid mandate through their equally unjustified other scams: “climate change”, Agenda 2030 and The Great Reset, the Ukraine war, national sovereignty sellout to the Bill Gates and CCP controlled WHO, online censorship and “safety” (and suppression), 15-minute cities, air pollution, health-hazardous 5G, the dysfunctional NHS, out-of-control immigration, gender and identity politics wokery, identity verification, central bank digital currencies, cost of lockdown inflation, deliberately created food shortages, crippling energy costs, … what a catalogue of oppressions!
There is no longer a need for me to harp on about the minutia of their skulduggeries. It is now as plain as day what the globalists and our despicable, treasonous politicians are scheming to do to us across multiple fronts.
Thankfully the global establishment failed on their plandemic objective to force the populace into digital straitjackets but they may well try again, e.g. via food or energy rationing, a digital currency or some such “Great Reset” gimmick to supposedly fix our now inevitable economic decline or a new pandemic (or plandemic), coming in 2025 according to Bill Gates and the WHO.
Gene Therapy Slight Of Hand
Regulatory Authorities around the world, including Australia’s TGA, headed by John Skerrit, distanced the LNP Synthetic Messenger RNA Covid19 Genetic Vaccines from being classified as Gene therapy and the associated extra checks and balances that should have been applied..
The “slight of hand” definition being used was that it must be a therapy that actually changed your Genes.
Moderna, in their SEC filings, were well aware that what they were working with was essentially a Gene Therapy with a similar potential for harm as Gene Therapies that alter one’s DNA
Vague Reporting Blames Ukraine For Nord Stream by eugyppius
Almost a month to the day after Seymour Hersh posted his bombshell report on the Nord Stream pipeline bombings to Substack, Die Zeit and German state media have published a vague, anonymously sourced story strongly suggesting that Ukraine is to blame for the attacks, without actually saying so
No German officials will go on the record to confirm or deny the reporting, but Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak continues to insist that it’s far more likely the Russians blew up their own pipeline
A nearly identical but separately reported story, which also appeared yesterday in the New York Times, has “U.S. officials” saying basically the same thing, but with even less detail
The plausibility of the Nord Stream attacks being the work of two divers on a rented yacht who planted eight to sixteen explosives – the equivalent of many hundreds of kilogrammes of TNT – on four pipelines at the considerable depth of 80 metres, is something my readers will have to decide themselves
Fauci’s Trail Of Deceit by Ian Miller
He also repeatedly dismissed the lab leak theory, usually by referring to a specific paper that claimed to debunk the lab leak.
New evidence has emerged from a House committee revealing that Anthony Fauci played a much more substantial role in that paper than he’d led the public to believe.
The Majority Staff on the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a memo which states that they’d discovered Fauci had “prompted” other scientists to write a paper on COVID origins.
"New evidence released by the Select Subcommittee today suggests that Dr. Fauci ‘prompted’ the drafting of a publication that would ‘disprove’ the lab leak theory, the authors of this paper skewed available evidence to achieve that goal, and Dr. Jeremy Farrar went uncredited despite significant involvement," the memo reads.
UK’s £100B Pandemic Waste by Carl Heneghan & Tom Jefferson
Meg Hillier, MP (chair of the Public Accounts Committee - PAC), says criminals are getting away with our money.
Test and trace is a public health containment strategy (note the primary aim is not head counting).
As in other countries, the practice was abused in the UK, and PCR tests were used indiscriminately by barely trained personnel.
If anyone had contacted public health Lombardy (like one of us did confidentially), they might have learned that SARS-CoV-2 traces (not contagious virions) were being picked up everywhere by early March 2020. So, an overwhelmed public health had given up, and there was no more tracing: all the rest was political window dressing.
the economic crises have their roots in the demented waste. So let’s see, around £40 billion in theft, say another £37 billion or so on test and trace (to bankruptcy), let’s add another £12 billion in PPE waste.
Suddenly, we are close to the magic figure of £100 billion.
Ontario: Hiding Mandates Under “Recommendations” by Dr. Byram W. Bridle
“…we wanted it to, to, to be a policy framework rather than a mandate. And that we did not have a mandate in Ontario, from this government’s vantage point.” -Kieran Moore-
The government is pointing their finger at the institutions for being overzealous in their creations of ‘policies’ that rapidly morphed into mandates.
Shame on you Dr. Moore for not standing up for those who desperately needed you to clarify your expectations that nobody lose their jobs or education over a recommendation to get a COVID-19 jab!
It seems to me that people like Dr. Moore who failed to protect the vulnerable, and all administrators at institutions that failed to follow the advice that COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ be recommended, not mandated, and that alternative strategies be provided, should do the right thing and…
Promptly apologize to all those they harmed and coerced.
Resign immediately.
Institutions across Ontario have pointed the blame at the government’s recommendations. Clearly, however, these recommendations never promoted the concept of mandates.
Vax Contamination Exceeds Specs by Anandamide
the dsDNA contamination exceeds the EMA specifications by several orders of magnitude and further scrutiny should be applied to the endotoxin levels and dsRNA levels in these vaccines.
An unknown portion of these dsDNA contaminants are replication competent plasmids that can transform E.coli with a simple 20 second 42C heat shock treatment. These plasmids provide antibiotic resistance on LB-Kan plates and can be isolated from E.coli cultures.
Previous RNA-Seq based estimates of the double stranded DNA contamination in the vaccines significantly under reported the magnitude of the contamination.
the dsDNA contamination levels are 100 fold higher and imply trillions of DNA molecules per dose
More On Vax Contamination by Jessica Rose
it’s worse than originally thought
The left-over expression vectors used to manufacture the mRNAs are at contamination levels 100-fold higher than originally proposed and imply trillions of DNA molecules per dose. This has implications for integration into our genome.
there’s likely leurts of vector contamination. And it is DNA contamination that is likely very high
The levels of contamination of foreign DNA are so high that we don’t even need to consider the problem of mRNA being reverse transcribed to DNA
One Term, Two Meanings by Wokal Distance
key terms in woke ideology are very often terms that have two different meanings: a perfectly acceptable everyday meaning, and a totally unacceptable woke meaning. This allows the woke the insert their woke ideology into policy, legislation, and standards by hiding their ideology behind everyday terms that look perfectly acceptable.
One term that woke academics, intellectuals, and academics have redefined in the service of advancing their ideology is the term “diversity.”
when most people talk about diversity they are referring to hiring different people with a *diversity of opinion* or a *diversity of expertise and knowledge.* This is NOT what the woke mean when they talk about diversity.
When the woke say they want diversity, what they want is a people of many different identities, different races, colors, genders, abilities, and sexual orientations who are all woke…people who hold to the ideology of wokeness from the standpoint of various different oppressed identities
ESG Is A Ruse by Rupa Subramanya
In 2022, eight of the top ten actively managed ESG funds in the United States fared worse than the S&P 500’s 14.8% decline—compounding long-percolating fears that ESG is a ruse.
a growing cadre of executives, lawyers, and Republican officials has taken to lashing out against what it views as social justice parading as a serious investment strategy. The backlash reflects a growing sense that millions of Americans—those who do not subscribe to the new orthodoxy around DEI, the climate, and “stakeholder capitalism”—feel ignored by, and even at war with, the institutions charged with protecting their interests.
For years, no one in finance paid attention. Most people in New York, London, Shanghai, and Hong Kong had no idea what ESG meant.
Then came the 2008 financial crisis. The credibility of banks evaporated. Suddenly, so-called sustainable investing sounded like a good idea.
By 2012, asset managers had funneled $4 trillion into the ESG space. Over the next several years, that figure would jump at a clip of roughly $1 trillion per year.
governors and controllers overseeing multibillion-dollar pension funds in blue states viewed themselves as the country’s last best hope to save the planet, and they made it clear to asset managers that they wanted their money invested only in pro-ESG companies.
By 2021, asset managers around the globe had plowed $18.4 trillion into “ESG-related” investments.
The Stats Are Wrong by Naked Emperor
the data shows the boosted are 50% less likely to die of anything, which is clearly wrong. This shows how inaccurate their data on vaccine effectiveness against Covid must be.
The unvaccinated group includes anyone who had a first dose less than 21 days ago. So for three weeks you count as unvaccinated even though you clearly are not.
either we have witnessed the invention of a wonder drug that reduces your risk of dying by 50% or the stats are wrong. And if these stats are wrong, how many of the other stats are wrong.
The Deer Test by Gummi Bear
I came across this clip of a little girl reasoning that if people can identify as deer, then we should be able to hunt them…I think it’s genius…this girl just invented “The Deer Test”!
following this court decision, it is established that “identifying” as a woman is sufficient to qualify for the protections afforded by law against discrimination.
If law A is applicable only to a person B, and law A is applied to person C, then person C must be the same as a person B. In order for person C to legally become a person B, it was sufficient for person C to “identify” as a person B.
Therefore, a person’s right to “identify” as something else supersedes other considerations (like biology) under the law.
So if a person identifies as a deer, then by the court’s own logic that person is legally a deer
The Financial Arms Of Lockdowns by Michael P Senger
one thing virtually no one in the world was doing prior to the lockdown of Lombardy was looking at the lockdown of Wuhan and hoping the rest of the world would come to adopt that policy.
among this extremely tiny group who looked positively on the prospect of global adoption of China’s lockdown policy before the lockdown of Lombardy, one person stands out in particular: Balaji Srinivasan, a venture capitalist and tech mogul who couldn’t tweet enough about all the details of the “new normal” that the world would soon see by the end of the year.
Balaji was supposedly so scared of the new virus that, within days, he’d accurately predicted COVID would be deemed a global pandemic; the entire world would adopt China’s lockdown policy; everyone would soon wear a mask; work and everyday life would go remote; the world would “move away from handshakes, restaurants, and public gatherings”; governments would reduce the approval time for vaccines; it would take a year for a vaccine to arrive; and by that time the world would have shifted into a “new normal.”
In my opinion, it’s far more likely that Balaji is exactly the kind of “high profile investor” described in the anonymous stock tip, who’d caught wind of the seismic plans being hatched by the WHO and their collaborators to recreate China’s COVID response across the world.
There may be no question more important today than how the WHO and its collaborators were able to plan and execute something so cataclysmic, illiberal, and inhuman without any of our institutions stepping in or informing the public.
Pfizer’s Lack Of Trial Integrity by OpenVAET & Josh Guetzkow
We bring forward a new evidence of fraud regarding these PCRs, based on the imbalance between the proportion of BNT162b2 (the “vaccine” tested) symptomatic subjects who had local tests registered, compared to the proportion of Placebo subjects.
This leaves us with only three hypotheses (“test suppression”, “implicit unblinding” or “discouragement to get tested” of the subjects). None will be pleasant to consider for whoever would still like to believe in the trial’s integrity, given they assume some form of “hidden unblinding” of the subjects, in complete violation of the protocol.
we have an impossible phenomenon, striking a specific treatment arm of the trial (the tested product’s one), in impossible proportions. This means that subjects are excluded from the efficacy analysis though still in theory included in the safety analyses.
Assuming that Pfizer knew how to detect which subject received which product (something which was technically doable as demonstrated by Jikkyleaks), and in a context where the testing sites were controlled by… Pfizer Employees… implementing fraud was child-play.
Severe & Negative-Severe Efficacy by Brian Mowrey
A recent fad is to boldly claim that circulating IgG antibodies for spike protein cannot possibly protect against severe disease.
The apparent new “gotcha” is that IgG can’t get to the lungs, and so it can’t possibly have an impact on disease or viral loads
It is entirely reasonable to expect (and there is no obvious reason not to) that there is a period of partial protection in which vaccine-induced IgG acts as “training wheels” for natural immunity
serum IgG is known to seep into the mucosa (transudation).
Covid vaccines therefore also result in the presence of IgG in the lungs.
As long as the immune system mounts a prompt response to the virus, with IgA and IgG / IgM, there is little danger of severe disease.
“Mucosal” vaccines probably will not perform much better than injected ones at generating immunity to respiratory viruses.
“gobs” of the boosted were still totally naive to the virus before then. This means that many weren’t actually being infected before.
The vaccines must certainly have reduced deaths from Delta (compare with low-vaccine-uptake states in the US); but this simply seems to have left a debt that has come due in the Omicron era.
The only natural interpretation of this paradox is that the vaccines never had any severe efficacy at all. They only postponed infection.
Severe efficacy is real; and so is some form of “negative severe efficacy.”
MSM Minimizes Redfield’s Explosive Testimony by Dr. Robert Malone
A keyword search of Redfield on Google news did come up with the following stories.
However, if you went to the headlines of Google News - there was nary a news story.
The actual testimony of Dr. Redfield was explosive. Yet, none of these headlines bely the gravity of Dr Redfield’s testimony. Dr. Redfield directly linked gain-of-function research and the creation of SARS-CoV-WIV to Dr. Fauci, and to the US Gov - including the DoD. He absolutely believes and gives sworn testimony to the effect that Dr. Fauci and Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust and soon be the chief scientist at the World Health Organization, covered up the lab leak information.
ONS’ Alternate Reality Of VE by T Coddington
the ONS has come back to make their estimates on VE, supposedly controlling for confounders.
58.7% for 1st dose, 88.6% for second, and 93.2% for 3rd dose…those numbers would imply in an alternate reality where the vaccine never existed, given what actually happened
if you were one to create models of estimated lives saved by the vaccines. With the VE’s presumed from above, the difference between the orange and grey areas would be the estimated lives saved.
So, based on the ONS’ VE estimated, they believe that January, February and March 2022 would have all been more deadly than the previous most deadly month of the pandemic (January 2021). This despite Omicron being far less deadly. 🤔
Censorship-Industrial Complex by Michael Shellenberger
The Twitter Files, state attorneys general lawsuits, and investigative reporters have revealed a large and growing network of government agencies, academic institutions, and nongovernmental organizations that are actively censoring American citizens, often without their knowledge, on a range of issues, including on the origins of COVID, COVID vaccines, emails relating to Hunter Biden’s business dealings, climate change, renewable energy, fossil fuels, and many other issues.
government officials have been caught repeatedly pushing social media platforms to censor disfavored users and content. Often, these acts of censorship threaten the legal protection social media companies need to exist, Section 230.
Moreover, we know that the U.S. government has funded organizations that pressure advertisers to boycott news media organizations and social media platforms that a) refuse to censor and/or b) spread disinformation, including alleged conspiracy theories.
The Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and Graphika all have inadequately-disclosed ties to the Department of Defense, the C.I.A., and other intelligence agencies. They work with multiple U.S. government agencies to institutionalize censorship research and advocacy within dozens of other universities and think tanks.
Getting Covid Data Wrong by Kelley K
three main areas where scientists and journalists routinely get Covid data factually wrong — Long Covid, mask studies, and pediatric Covid metrics — where the claims just don’t pass the sniff test.
this headline…”16% of all North Carolinians have long COVID”. Turns out, it was based on the CDC Household Pulse survey, but the survey found 16% of people in North Carolina have ever experienced Long Covid.
with many observational mask studies. If you choose the right window and implement a mask mandate as cases are peaking or drop a mask mandate just before cases rise, you can easily show a correlation between the masks and the cases. But of course, correlation doesn’t equal causation.
Compared to actual data from pediatric death certificates via NCHS / CDC WONDER, the Data Tracker has always overreported pediatric deaths. This is yet another example where awareness of the actual data makes these errors easy to identify that anyone who makes these “mistakes” is either ignorant of the accurate data or they are being purposely misleading.
Inclusivity Unless It Offends The Woke by Wokal Distance
Recently there was a stir in the publishing worlds as several books by the renowned children’s author Roald Dahl (who Wrote both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach) were edited in order to make them more “inclusive.”
“inclusivity,” as the Critical Social Justice (AKA wokeness) understands the term, is going to be used to justify censorship, and to cut off, prevent, or short circuit the free and open exchange of ideas.
any idea that, bothers, annoys, agitates, or otherwise offends woke people will be deemed to be “harmful and oppressive” and therefore not allowed to be discussed.
Any truth seeking endeavor is going to have to allow the discussion of unpopular and offensive ideas, and “inclusivity” as the woke understand it simply does not allow that.
when a woke activists seek to make an institution, organization, or group more inclusive, it inevitably means they are going to engage in the censorship of ideas that woke people don’t like in order to avoid “harming” marginalized people. That means that once the woke make “inclusivity” a value of an institution it will not be long before the only ideas that are allowed in that institution are woke ideas.
This is another way that woke activists take over institutions. They agitate for “inclusivity” and then use inclusivity as tool with which to clear out any idea that clashes with wokeness.
A Global Act Of Fraud by Dr. Peter McCullough
I was told by colleagues that the term fraud was too strident and I should tone down my comments for the media. Over two years later the US House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic held hearings on “Investigating the Origins of COVID-19” and has hit the tip of an iceberg of academic fraud with a trail of peer-reviewed manuscripts
The House Committee found through emails that multiple researchers including Dr. Kristian Andersen and Dr. Edward Holmes messaged Dr. Anthony Fauci in January with their conclusions that SARS-CoV-2 could not have arisen from nature.
These no doubt are just a few of the individuals and the manuscripts that will memorialize an academic crime that advanced a false worldwide narrative on the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Many have speculated that NIH funding was the motive to get in line with Fauci and Collins. The author list however, tells us this was a global act of fraud.
