Excess Death Rate For 0-44 Year Olds: 179% by Karen Kingston
The SOA Excess Death Claims Report was created by surveying 20 of the top 21 U.S. Group Term Life Insurance companies and by analyzing more than 2.3 million life-insurance claims from employer-groups. Every claim included in this report was filed for a life-insurance payout for someone who was actively employed at their time of death. The data is; as Edward Dowd has stated, “Alarming.”
In Q3 (July -September) of 2021, excess death rate for working Americans 44 years old and younger was 179%; and excess death was 162% for working adults aged 45 - 64. A 179% increase is nearly a 3x’s increase in the average rate of excess death for young, working Americans.
Lack Of Early Treatment by Dr. Peter McCullough
The real tragedy in Texas and all over the world was the absolute or relative lack of early combination therapeutics at home in high risk COVID-19. Gkioulekas et al concluded that by December of 2020, we had clear and convincing evidence (P<0.01) that early treatment was effective in reducing hospitalization death, a claim that could never be made for COVID-19 vaccines.
Verkerk et al demonstrated the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths occurred as a result of little or no access to early combination therapy.
LNPs In Mice Placentas by Dr. Peter McCullough
Many have wondered if the babies have mRNA within their systems. No studies have demonstrated vertical transfer of mRNA.
A paper from Young et al in mice show that lipid nanoparticles enhance delivery to the placenta compared to saline or free mRNA, however there was no evidence of reporting (luciferase) in the fetuses.
Delivery of mRNA for Spike protein to the human placenta and local production of the Wuhan Spike protein would explain the increased fetal loss risk that is being observed in vaccinated women by Thorp et al.
Stop Using Fiat Money by Joel Smalley
money, fiat money, is the biggest scam ever perpetrated. It’s a Ponzi scheme. It’s only worth what the next idiot is prepared to pay for it. They will try and distract you by pointing out the risks of other Ponzi schemes whilst they keep running their own, which makes all others irrelevant. Taxation is theft. But money creation is stealth tax which makes it worse.
The solution to a problem is often to stop being part of it. I assert that the same is true of money. If you recognise that money is the problem then stop using it.
What does this mean in practice? Not much change actually. You can still exchange your goods and services (your productivity, your economic output, your contribution to society) but insist on anything but fiat money in return.
Zeynep & Howard’s Role In The Science by Michael P. Senger
Zeynep Tufekci was born and raised and worked as a programmer in Turkey before beginning an academic career in the United States, where she soon became something of a celebrity writer in the fields of sociology and technology.
Pandemics and censorship—those were Zeynep’s fields
it was Zeynep herself and her colleague Jeremy Howard who’d been the deciding factor in initiating that reversal in the CDC’s longstanding guidance on masking.
It’s not entirely clear how Zeynep and Howard began working together. There’s no evidence of their publicly deliberating these subjects, though they’d interacted in prior years. Zeynep and Howard’s first public interaction with regard to COVID was when Howard cited Zeynep as a contributor to his viral March 9, 2020 article, in which he encouraged readers to shut down their institutions and cancel events based on China’s apparent success “flattening the curve” in Wuhan.
this falsehood, that masks had stopped the spread in the Czech Republic, became the original impetus for the global #Masks4All movement and soon a basis for the imposition of mask mandates across the world.
In their paper, Zeynep and Howard argued that “everyone, adults and children, should wear masks,” citing as a major benefit masks’ potential to “shape new societal behaviors” as “symbols of altruism and solidarity” serving as “a visible signal and reminder of the pandemic.”
The CDC officially reversed its masking guidance on April 3, 2020, and insiders reported that Zeynep and Howard’s preprint had been a factor.

SARS-CoV-2 Genome Not Completely Assembled by USMortality
neither the results of the Wu et al. 2020 paper, is precisely reproducible to this date, nor has the SARS-CoV-2 genome been completely assembled by a single method and/or assembler. In addition, there remain many relevant unanswered questions, that should be answered by the responsible persons in charge.
From the Wu et al. paper it becomes clear, for the vigilant reader, that Wu et al. clearly did not have a purified isolate, otherwise there would be no need to programmatically filter out reads that matched the human genome.
Malone The Hypocrite by George Webb
Dr. Robert Malone held the power in his hands to recommend that Hydroychloroquine and Ivermectin to be distributed to stop the spread of CoronaVirus through a program called DOMANE, and he instead chose to study Pepcid AC, despite fifteen years of study and a DARPA recommendation for Ivermectin.
Robert Malone’s DOMANE was funded by the CARES Act for Emergency Funding for finding CoronaVirus cures.
My criticism stems from not just Malone’s self serving decisions of early January and February 2020, but mostly from his decision to play the hero for the vaccine injured now all the windfall profits have been raked in after the experimental vaccine hype has run its course.
Remdesivir, a drug that somehow passed Dr. Robert Malone’s DOMANE approval despite two failed drug trials, one for Hepatitis-C and another for Ebola.
Partitions Forever In Japan by Guy Gin
During emergency periods in 2021, local governments made cooperation payments to bars and restaurants conditional on them implementing so-called “infection prevention measures”, meaning taxpayers subsidised the nonsense
Japan’s experts even in 2023 can’t bring themselves to admit the pointlessness of anything they recommended for 3 years no matter how obvious it is.
if the experts came out and said “Partitions are useless”, some people might wonder why they recommended them for 3 years. And some people might even, heaven forbid, start to question the experts’ other recommendations, such as 24/7 masking.
the government’s experts not only refuse to admit partitions are ridiculous but also plan to recommend them next time.
#Plasmidgate Deep Dive by Ignasz Semmelweisz
Patients have literally no idea what they were injected with, what it will actually do to them over any time frame, and why they were allowed to be placed in this position.
Under these circumstances and against the regulators’ own patient information, the guidance given to patients and the claims made about safety and efficacy, patient informed consent could not really have existed.
There are two very simple reasons why this could be the case:
The regulators did not know what was actually in the production batches of the monovalent or bivalent shots because they did not perform any kind of effective analysis on them.
They knew what was in the shots and did nothing.
In both cases, the regulators and everyone operating under their authority peddled the lie that the shots only contained the ingredients listed in the regulatory and manufacturer information, and falsely claimed that the shots were safe and effective.
Europe: 3,631 Fetal Deaths & Miscarriages by Pedro Almeida Vieira
survey found the existence of more than 5,300 cases of reactions considered serious, including 3,385 abortions and 246 fetal deaths.
despite the fact that the authors of the article are even in favor of vaccinating pregnant women, they do not present any cost-benefit analysis and admit that mass vaccination began with safety information coming only from a few women who participated in the trials without knowing their state.
EU Dumps EV Mandate by Igor Chudov
France24 and the Wall Street Journal (paywall-free link) report that the EU abandoned its much-ballyhooed transition to electric cars, which was supposed to culminate with a total ban on gasoline cars in 2035.
transition is impossible:
Transitioning to electric passenger vehicles will increase electricity demand by 25%.
Transitioning to electric trucks will further raise electricity demand to a total of 40% increase.
EU is phasing out fossil fuel generation and replacing it with unreliable solar and wind generation - thus decreasing power availability instead of increasing it to meet greater demand.
As cars and especially trucks are charged at night, solar and wind power cannot contribute to charging.
Vax, Not Covid, Causing Myo by Dr. Peter McCullough
Tuvali, et al from Israel, demonstrated that myocarditis in 2020 was not any more common that the low levels of baseline myocarditis from parvovirus, giant cell, and other conditions.
Almamlouk et al performed a systematic review of 50 autopsy studies and 548 hearts of patients who died of or with COVID-19. Usual post-mortem findings of tissue edema and necrosis were reported commonly. About two thirds of hearts had SARS-CoV-2 found in the tissue. However, none of the hearts had extensive myocarditis as the cause of death.
this review should be the nail in the coffin in ruling out COVID-19 illness as a cause of fatal myocarditis. Despite the virus being found in heart tissue, it was not causing significant inflammation.
The explosion of fatal myocarditis by report of unexplained cardiac arrest, adjudication, and at necropsy must have another explanation than SARS-CoV-2 infection. The only new proven cause of heart damage in human populations is COVID-19 vaccination.
Airline Pilots Incapacitations By Sally Beck
this month Virgin Australia, Emirates, United and Southwest airlines have all turned back aircraft or made emergency landings because air crew have suffered serious health incidents. A British Airways pilot died of a heart attack just before he was due to fly a plane from Egypt.
the favourite explanation for this increase is vaccine injury. Especially as we now know vaccines can cause myocarditis, heart inflammation which can cause heart attacks, and blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes, although authorities claim these are ‘rare’.
The FAA issued this statement: ‘The FAA’s Federal Air Surgeon determined that pilots and air traffic controllers can safely receive the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson or Novavax vaccine. The FAA has seen no credible evidence of aircraft accidents or incapacitations caused by pilots suffering medical complications associated with COVID-19 vaccines.’
PBDC, Not CBDC by el gato malo
we free the banks from federal oversight, create a real market for them and for bank like entities (BLE’s) where they have to compete for us and our patronage, and we give them the ability to set interest rates and issue currency.
no more central banking.
we make currency a product like any other product. and we let them duke it out to see who can make a compelling case and develop a reputation for stability, soundness, and fair dealing.
central bank digital currency (CBDC) will be a disaster of dystopian dominance and the bending of banking to non-banking ends.
but private bank-like-entity digital currency (PBDC) could be the path to financial liberation (and to real, no fooling around banking privacy).
Plandemic To Delay Dollar Crash by Sasha Latypova
the reasons for the “Plandemic”…is related to the inevitability of the collapse of the US dollar as global reserve currency, and Plandemic being used as a (probably imminently failing) attempt at maintaining this status.
Ultimately the debt is a function of government expenses outpacing tax collections. The US government has had no appetite to manage costs requisite to keep the overall debt in check. The U.S. government spending for 2022 was divided into three main categories: mandatory spending, discretionary spending, and interest on debt.
By 2019, the US debt had reached $22 trillion of which around $17 trillion was held by the US public. In comparison, the total US GDP in 2019 was $21 trillion. As a result, total US debt exceeded total US GDP (i.e., debt was over 100% of GDP). Generally, rates of 70% and above are considered unsupportable.
it seems all US power, prestige, and shiny image actually is somehow related to the dollar’s status as the global reserve currency.
Traditional measures of stimulating the economy, such as interest rate decreases, were no longer possible as interest rates had already hit rock bottom by 2019. At this point, clever central bankers and Blackrock had determined that going ‘direct’ to stimulate the economy, strengthen the dollar, and increase inflation to reduce the debt burden were the only solution to all of their problems.
UK: Excess Death And IgG4 Abs by Naked Emperor
After following the usual pattern of dropping after winter, excess deaths in England and Wales have started to rise again. In England there have again been almost 1,000 excess deaths this week, which is 9.5% higher than average. In Wales excess deaths this week were 12.6% above average. This is clearly unusual and something that isn’t being sufficiently investigated.
One possible reason for excess deaths still being so high is IgG4 antibodies…induced by mRNA vaccines and generating immune tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 spike by suppressing the immune system.
high IgG4 levels…may be a part of the immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses.
IgG4-induced suppression of the immune system due to repeated vaccination can also cause autoimmune diseases, promote cancer growth, and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.
The Response To The ‘Novel’ Virus by Charles Rixey
Dr. Fauci & others knew, based upon the suspicious elements of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, that the virus had almost certainly been manipulated; they knew that such manipulations likely came from chimaeric/pseudovirus & insertion techniques very familiar to US & Chinese viral vaccine & therapeutic/MCM programs.
The 2/1 teleconference hosted by Fauci & Jeremy Farrar was convened specifically in response to the publication of the Pradhan et al pre-print and the growing awareness of the furin cleavage site [FCS].
They immediately took steps to censor and control public & scientific discussions related to the HIV inserts and FCS, respectively; these actions are more properly viewed as obstruction of justice.
2022 Absence Rates by The Vigilant Fox
You could make the case for why that happened in 2020. There were lockdowns. There was confusion. People had to scramble with school and all sorts of things. So that makes sense to us. What doesn’t make sense is that in 2021 it persisted and went to five standard deviations.
What makes absolutely no sense is the absence rate took off in 2022. And you can see the slope of the line; the rate of change accelerated to the upside in 2022. And that standard deviation was 11. That’s just off the charts!
something three standard deviations above the mean is very rare, happens 0.3 percent of the time, but at least it remains in the realm of possibility. When we get to standard deviations of 5 and 11, that is astronomically rare. We’re talking about a percentage with multiple zeros before encountering the first non-zero digit.
Autism Studies. Not Good by Toby Rogers
1 in 36 children in the U.S. have autism which is an increase of 18% from the ADDM report (1 in 44) released just two years ago.
Boys are 3.8 times more likely to have autism than girls
So the autism rate among boys in California in 2020 was 6.94%
Every f*cking Democrat in California swore that vaccines were not linked to autism, they mandated one of the most extreme childhood vaccine schedules in the world in order for kids to go to school, and voilà 6.94% of boys in the state now have autism.
Higher socioeconomic status is now associated with lower autism rates — once again contradicting the official narrative
Hispanic autism rates are 30% higher in 8-year-olds (born in 2012) and 80% higher in 4-year-olds (born in 2016) as compared with White children of the same age.
Black autism rates are 20% higher for 8-year-olds (born in 2012) and 60% higher for 4-year-olds (born in 2016) as compared with White children of the same age.
As Black and Hispanic rates were rising the CDC spun it as good news because they claimed it meant more Black and Hispanic kids had access to diagnostic testing. Now that Black and Hispanic autism rates exceed White rates that narrative does not make sense.
study found an astonishing 4.64% of four-year-olds in San Diego have autism. But remember autism is more prevalent in boys than girls so this works out to a 7.2% autism rate for boys in San Diego. For Black and Hispanic boys the results are even worse.
