evidence to support the idea that the COVID-19 injections are the cause of the reported adverse events. In a few of these reports, the twins get injected at the same time, on the same day, with the same product and subsequently experience the exact same adverse events.
“I have an identical twin sister and she’s experiencing the same exact thing. She was on the same birth control as me, took it the same time, she got the same covid vaccine as me, at the same time, at the same place. We went together to get the vaccine. Our bleeding started at the same time too.”
At this point in time, with irrefutable all-cause mortality data, with case studies and peer-reviewed studies emerging defining harms, with knowing that this type of gene-based transfection (transfer of foreign nucleotides for translation) was regulated as a vaccine and not a gene therapy, there should be no human being capable of denying the damaging effects of these shots, especially not in the twin context.
Farage Accounts Frozen In UK by ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
bank-government collusion is now in plain sight for all to see. First we had the abrupt, arbitrary and capricious weaponization of the Canadian banking system by the WEF-trained young leaders Justin Trudeau and his (former journalist) finance minister Chrystia Freeland…And now we have the British banks freezing British politician and political commentator Nigel Farage (well known as a leader of the Brexit movement) being completely frozen out of his accounts and any ability to engage in banking activities in the UK.
If you are not yet sufficiently alarmed about the likely consequences of national and global deployment of Central Bank Digital Currency, this is yet another wake up call, yet another “Ontological Shock” event.
Banking is not longer a reliable, stable system. Just like corporate media, it has become a weapon of the Administrative State Leviathan and its corporate partners.
Whites Underrepresented In Med School by DAVID ZWEIG
if affirmative action’s goal is for equitable representation, in short order it would need to be halted—or at least rejiggered—in medical school admissions.
While whites are slightly overrepresented among current practicing physicians (by about 5 percent), according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2021 51.5 percent of medical school matriculants were white, yet white people compose 58.9 percent of the total population.
The underrepresentation of whites in medical school—the people who will compose the future workforce of doctors—has been a downward trend over at least the last eight years. Continuing to systematically program medical school admissions to admit even fewer white applicants would, for many Americans, ultimately lead to fewer doctors “who look like and share the experience of the people they serve.”
PRIDE Acting Like Babies by LIBS OF TIKTOK
The Twin Cities PRIDE Festival, a family-friendly event in Minneapolis, hosted the Minnesota Adult Diaper Enthusiasts (M.A.D.E) as one of its vendors.
M.A.D.E is a group of disturbed individuals who act as babies. The organization promises to provide its members with an “accepting and safe environment for adults over 18 to discuss and explore their interests in the ABDL (Adult Baby/Diaper Lover), Ageplay, and merging lifestyles.” Pictures from events they attend show adults wearing diapers, playing with pacifiers and donning children’s clothing. The booth is also filled with children’s toys, a diaper changing room for adults, and a playroom.
As a society, accepting this as normal is harmful and dangerous. If adults can identify as children, then there is no telling how far down our culture can go. This troubling trend of demanding to be “affirmed” and accepted for whatever sex kink one is into, must be stopped in its tracks.
Covid Meet Cinnamon by WALTER M CHESNUT
A very promising paper was published online Tuesday which shows the benefits of cinnamaldehyde (the active compound of cinnamon). The paper showed that levels of IL-1β were reduced dramatically by cinnamaldehyde and levels of IL-6 were somewhat attenuated.
Furthermore, NASAL ADMINISTRATION of cinnamaldehyde during infection was very effective at reducing IL-1B levels.
There is an added benefit of cinnamaldehyde (CINNA) reducing viral replication as well. This is clearly another reason to use cinnamon as a prophylactic. Especially as it de facto then reduces the expression of Spike Protein.
NY Shuts Down Vax Pass by JORDAN SCHACHTEL
New York State officials announced on Friday afternoon that they are discontinuing their controversial mobile phone vaccine passport program, known as “Excelsior Pass,” citing “reduced demand for access to digital COVID-19 test and vaccine records.”
The Excelsior Pass program began in early 2021 with an estimated cost burden of $2.5 million. It later ballooned to a sum approaching one hundred times over the original budget, with an approximate amount of $250 million dollars being handed out to IBM, Deloitte and Boston Consulting Group.
the city enforced its “Key to NYC” vaccine passport program for over two years. The mobile application was a staple of New York City’s movement pass system, which was installed to prohibit entry to indoor facilities to those who refused to take the experimental genetic serums released by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.
Incentives To Kill by THE VIGILANT FOX
The U.S. Federal government incentivized “not people recovering from COVID but people dying from COVID,” testified attorney Tom Renz to the Pennsylvania State Senate. “You got a cash bonus when someone died from COVID. It was an incentive to kill people, and it worked incredibly well.”
“And by the way,” he continued, “we actually had whistleblower testimony from a yet-to-be-unmasked whistleblower … who worked for CMS. I’ve got data from CMS that showed in a number of Texas hospitals, as high as 90% of patients put on the vent died. 90%.”
“Now, they wouldn’t let you try ivermectin, but they were more than willing to put you on the vent where you had a 90% fatality rate,”
So, why did most doctors not opt for alternative treatments instead?
Following the money will give you the likely answer, as Federal funds encouraged a specific course of action. Attorney Renz detailed the “perverse” incentives in place during his Pennsylvania State Senate testimony last year. “We have incentivized the murder of patients rather than incentivized treatment.”
Capitalizing On Immunity Debt by EUGYPPIUS
The virus pests imposed harmful and destructive hygiene measures on the greater part of the developed world for years, which failed to do anything much about SARS-2, but apparently limited exposure to many common viruses like RSV.
After population immunity to these old endemic viruses had substantially waned due to these wrongheaded policies, we reopened, leaving these heretofore mostly harmless pathogens to tear through the respiratory tracts of young children with new fury.
The virus pests, having failed in the most spectacular way possible, now hope to turn the minor disaster they caused into an occasion for future restrictions and impositions in daily life.
Note also the insidious role of the vaccinators. As soon is there is a jab for any virus, the pressure to begin counting that virus begins, thereby making a problem where nobody ever noticed one before. It’s thinly veiled marketing for the vaccine producers, undertaken by the health authorities at public expense.
Flu Surveillance Deep Dive by JESSICA HOCKETT
Announcements from government entities seem to have a big impact on ILI…The 2008-09 season was nearly over when the WHO issued an emergency statement about swine flu. ILI visits shot up almost immediately. Daily emergency department ILI visits in New York City at the time show an even more dramatic spike.
ILI’s susceptibility to external influences doesn’t render it a worthless measure. Rather, it means the data should never be divorced from contemporaneous events that occur or messages people receive. In the case of H1N1, people heard there was an off-season flu emergency and reacted by seeking healthcare for whatever mundane symptom(s) they might have otherwise ignored.
How does a version of flu fail to show up in ILI or the number of specimens tested, and then light up on the radar after people are told it’s on the scene? There is no plausible biological explanation for the explosion in positivity; it was driven by the test availability and testing.
As far as I know, prior to this advent of H1N1, a summer respiratory illness outbreak of this magnitude hadn’t been observed. An explanation for a flu bug skyrocketing at this time of year that I often hear is, “Because it was novel.” The more obvious explanation is, “By creating a test and testing a lot of specimens for something that was there all along.”
the proportion of flu-attributed deaths in the P&I category has shifted markedly toward the influenza codes since 2013. This matches the overall increase in flu testing and flu positives in these years.
Gender Dysphoria Age Dropping by PETER A. MCCULLOUGH, MD, MPH™
The enormous campaign for transgender acceptance, hypersexuality, and pornography introduced into schools appears to be working. As the data show, gender dysphoria is still largely a post-pubertal issue, however, the curves are reaching down to the pre-pubertal age groups.
The authors readily acknowledge that social engineering of “gender fluidity” into the use of pronouns, school pornography, and social media campaigns is having an influence. Parents should pay attention to this trend. There is a clear attempt to create psychopathology in younger age groups were it did not exist in years before.
Fighting A Controlled System by GOOD CITIZEN
In early April, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he would run as a Democrat Party contender for that ticket’s 2024 nomination. What makes this an audacious undertaking isn’t what most pundits have said, which is obvious—the incumbent doesn’t get challenged by his own party—Presidents don’t get primaried after one term. In fact, no incumbent has been primaried after a single term in 167 years.
What makes this audacious, and even foolish is that RFK Jr. has chosen to run under the umbrella of the regime’s favored fascist party, against their puppet incumbent which means he’s not running against Joe Biden, for whom a scarecrow randomly plucked from a field in Kansas would appear more worthy of a vote, RFK Jr. is running against the controlled system before the real election in November 2024.
It is highly likely Joe Biden never makes it to the New Hampshire primary and another puppet of the global cabal, someone like Gavin Newsom is substituted as the controlled system’s candidate. Still, Kennedy will not be running against Newsom, he’ll be fighting a controlled system seeking to derail his candidacy one primary state at a time.
On French Riots by EUGYPPIUS
Protests about carbon emissions, racism and colonialist sins are not sincere demands for a better and more just world, but they are not the pretence of internal seditionists bent on the overthrow of the state either. They are rallying cries in support of the globalist programme, and an appeal to the issues via which our political elite aim to free themselves finally from the constraints of their own native populations.
It’s no surprise to find American soft power behind some of these episodes, but US influence is only one factor here. The postwar international order, founded around organisations like the United Nations and the European Union, bears the explicit mandate of counteracting nationalist politics, which are regarded as the root cause of the great world wars. Especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union, this globalist ethos has given rise to a whole world of densely interrelated political parties, NGOs and philanthropists, while also fostering an increasingly uniform and inward-looking elite political culture. These new elites hope to find in imported minorities a basis of popular support for globalism at home and a counterweight to the dreaded nativist right. Most major leftist and Green parties are mere instruments and expressions of this culture, as is any demonstration that is not immediately and brutally repressed.
Agenda 2030: Totalitarian Utopia by CHRISTY KELLY
Imagine a world where poverty is eradicated, the environment thrives, education is top-notch, and fairness rules the day. Are you skeptical? You are not alone. Agenda 2030, with its lofty goals and far-reaching vision, is receiving its fair share of skepticism and opposition from critics around the world.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns confined people to their homes, providing a unique perspective on restricted movement and limited freedoms. After a glimpse of freedom being restricted, there is a vocal section who vehemently reject 15-minute cities, smart cities or Agenda 2030.
The dream of a utopian society and micro cities certainly predates Agenda 2030. However, at the outset it seemed clear that Agenda 2030 would have a natural link to 15-minute cities, after Covid-19 there was a severe backlash against the urban planning theory. The backlash was so severe that Team 2030 quickly sought to distance themselves from 15-minute cities. Although the idea of 15-minute cities is in line with the goals of sustainable development in Agenda 2030, the official UN materials shy away from explicitly using the term "15-minute city."
Debunking The Vax Placebo Hypothesis by JESSICA ROSE
The most important distinction between the restricted timeframe and the extended data sets is that when the data is more populated (more complete), there are no longer lots that are not associated with AEs. In addition, the more complete data set tells us that for every one of the yellow dot lots, there were SAEs reported.
If all of these lots are associated with SAEs - and in some cases hundreds - then they would never classify as placebos in my books.
There is a statistically significant difference in the ages between the blue and yellow lots (p-value = 0.00052). The mean age for the blue dot lot SAEs (9 of them) is 58 years of age, and for the yellow dots (10 of them), 43.
So, it appears as though a good explanation for the distribution patterns seen in the Danish study is due to batches administered earlier to older individuals. To be perfectly fair though, there must be variability between batches and even doses based on manufacturing and handling of these products.
It is my opinion that we have still only seen the tip of the iceberg with regard to the harms imposed by these modified mRNA COVID injections. For the younger individuals, who started off strong and healthy, it will be a longer road to pathology and it is quite likely that a very small proportion of these individuals will even report their condition to VAERS because let’s face it, who’s going to associate a cancer they ‘get’ a year or two out from their latest Pfizer shot?
Fauci’s Buddy Deletes Emails by JUSTIN HART
A troubling incident recently come to light involving David Morens…had been using a personal email account to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and avoid media scrutiny. This revelation, coupled with the widely reported censorship of those who challenged the accepted narrative, raises concerns about the impartiality and transparency of our public health leaders.
In the email in question, discussing the panic around the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Morens brazenly replies to the "who's who" of early Covid pandemic advisors, including Dr. Fauci: “Don’t worry, just send to any of my addresses, and I will delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.”
At the heart of the matter is the need for open dialogue, transparency, and the robust scrutiny of those in power. The recent revelations about Morens' actions, combined with the tone of the Cell Magazine pice, underscores the necessity for this. Their intentions and dealings are still - opaque.
CDC MPox Ad Campaign by PETER A. MCCULLOUGH, MD, MPH™
A recent pharmaceutical “MAX your VAX” advertisement from the CDC caught my attention for several reasons: 1) the CDC is not a drug company and should not be promoting products from Bavarian Nordic, 2) the national and public health emergencies have expired for Monkeypox on January 31, 2023, 3) the JYNNEOS vaccine has well-recognized risks for heart damage (troponin elevation) and cardiac adverse events of special interest especially in those previously vaccinated against smallpox, 4) the peak age and gender group is men in their twenties and thirties—the same demographic shown in the internet promotion—highest risk for vaccine heart damage.
Born On The 4th Of July by Martin Gurri
for those of you who love to sneer at “consumerism,” let me repeat a story I have told before. A Cuban woman, a recent refugee, entered a supermarket in Miami and proceeded to burst into tears. Surrounded by such a dazzling display of goods, her heart broke, she said, when she thought of the people she had left behind in Cuba, who had so little.
The opposite of consumerism isn’t authenticity—it’s penury. It’s scarcity and hunger. We are fortunate and exceptional that most of our problems stem from abundance.
Reframing Affirmative Action by EL GATO MALO
this whole issue has been dangerously misframed and is missing the real essence of what ought to be the debate.
one side wants government mandated affirmative action.
the other wants the government to ban this practice.
but BOTH sides are demanding that government be the solution to a thing which would be a non-problem easily addressed by choice and market forces if the government had never been involved in the first place.
and this is why unless we change the structure of this discussion, the whole issue is societal zugzwang for we the people.
because this choice should be ours to make from the bottom up, not theirs to dictate from the top down.
stop and consider: when we speak of free speech, as gorsuch so aptly put it:
it is not the government’s place to determine that which is worthy.
FL Employment Outperforms CA by JOSH STEVENSON
it’s important to establish that it’s well known that employment has impacts on not just an individual’s economic outlook, but their health as well. The idea that we could have somehow suppressed the economy in favor of preventing mortality and impact to health was a false tradeoff. The cost of destroying livelihoods has impacts to health and life expectancy.
Florida not only outperformed California during the pandemic, but has increased their overall employment relative to January 2020 by 3.2%. California has remained 11.5% below their pre-pandemic levels, and ever worse- low wage employment is down 25% and is trending downward.
CISA’s Mission Creep by SASHA LATYPOVA
The term “misinformation” is curious to me. How is it defined? Misinformation according to whom and based on what? Turns out that this includes information that is factually true but can promote vaccine hesitancy
Here is the Subcommittee report executive summary:
CISA is “working with federal partners to mature a whole-of-government approach” to curbing alleged misinformation and disinformation.
CISA considered the creation of an anti-misinformation “rapid response team” capable of physically deploying across the United States.
CISA moved its censorship operation to a CISA-funded non-profit after CISA and the Biden Administration were sued in federal court, implicitly admitting that its censorship activities are unconstitutional.
CISA wanted to use the same CISA-funded non-profit as its mouthpiece to “avoid the appearance of government propaganda.”
Members of CISA’s advisory committee agonized that it was “only a matter of time before someone realizes we exist and starts asking about our work”.
UN’s Digital First Responders by MATTIAS DESMET
the United Nations website leaves no doubt about it: the UN recruited more than 100,000 ‘digital first responders’ worldwide during the corona crisis. Melissa Fleming, head of global communications for the United Nations, also described its function in a podcast: to detect and neutralize “misinformation” and “fake news” on social media as quickly as possible by countering it with “accurate, reliable information”.
No matter what UN goal you scratch at, a questionable ideological foundation emerges from below its charitable surface. I can appreciate that people are deeply concerned about the environment (Goal 13), but that’s not the same thing as going along with an ecomodernist climate discourse. If Bill Gates wants to lower the Earth's temperature by dispersing millions of tons of chalk dust into the atmosphere or by suspending technologically manipulable mirrors between the Earth and the sun, the ecomodernist remedy may well be more dangerous than the disease. Far more dangerous.
