Why mRNA modRNA Matters by TOM RENZ
mRNA actually stands for modRNA which is different from mRNA. mRNA is messenger RNA and is found all over in life. modRNA is laboratory modified RNA that has been synthetically created for a purpose. It can be more durable, and have substantially greater impact than a true mRNA and can do many other things
all the COVID vaccines are gene therapy products and none are using natural mRNA. Instead each of these are toying with those 3300 billion lines of code that make humans work and we are just hoping that there are no unintended consequences.
I know this is complex and that there is a lot to consider but let me state this. The biochemical modifications that have been done to RNA have altered it substantially. These alterations were done for the purpose of allowing the use of these various RNA technologies to modify the human genome. In light of the complexity of the human genome we not only have no idea of the consequences I do not believe we can truly state what changes will ultimately be permanent and which will be temporary.
Death By Hospital Gown by JOEL SMALLEY
I think the policy responses can explain why a respiratory pathogen can buck all prior scientific knowledge and logic and be deadly for some but asymptomatic for others
In the initial period, the ratio of COVID deaths offset 2 weeks to ILI admissions is an incredible 69%. A fatality rate of 69%?!?? #$%@!!! That’s incredible. Quite literally, ‘unbelievable’
A contagious pathogen that virulent simply cannot spread to that many people and cannot be simultaneously so benign for others that they don’t even show symptoms.
dramatic denial of primary health care alone could be responsible for a significant number of deaths
And, if you only tested for one thing, that was circulating at the time, you could easily blame those deaths on that “something” and fool people into believing it was more deadly than it really was. In fact, you could argue that the majority of New Yorkers who died unexpectedly at that time were also wearing hospital gowns. QED.
GoF Is Germ Warfare by MERYL NASS
Gain-of-function is a euphemism for biological warfare research aka germ warfare research. It is so risky that funding it was banned by the US government (but only for SARS coronaviruses and avian flu viruses) in 2014 after a public outcry from hundreds of scientists. Then in 2017 Drs. Tony Fauci and Francis Collins lifted the moratorium, but without imposing any real safeguards. Fauci and Collins even had the temerity to publish their opinion that the risk from this gain-of-function research was ‘worth it.’
What does gain-of-function actually mean? It means that scientists are able to use a variety of techniques to turn ordinary or pathogenic viruses and bacteria into biological weapons. The research is justified by the claim that scientists can get out ahead of nature and predict what might be a future pandemic threat, or what another nation might use as a bioweapon. The functions gained by the viruses or other microorganisms to turn them into biological warfare agents consist of two categories: enhanced transmission or enhanced pathogenicity (illness severity).
Conditioning You By Degrading You by ADAM GAERTNER
we are in the midst of a Marxist revolution, both in the US and across the Western world. They are, rather unimaginatively, still fairly closely following the playbook written by the Bolsheviks, from the Russian Revolution in 1917. A crucial element of implementing this new tyranny is conditioning: the conditioning of their prospective subjects to mindlessly follow their orders, no matter how absurd, demeaning, or self-defeating.
The purpose of communist propaganda is not to persuade, convince, or inform. The purpose of their propaganda is to humiliate and degrade you; to turn you into a liar, repeating and endorsing things that you know to be untrue, and in doing so, to break down your moral character, to lessen your righteousness; to degrade your ability to reject and call out immorality and evil.
The process of conditioning is fairly straightforward: gradually dial up the heat, until you run into resistance. Once you’ve pushed as far as you can go, and the resistance starts to materialize in force, back down; repeal the mandates, soften the requirements, allow some of the challenges to see victory; let the people feel like their complaints have been heard, and the tyranny is going to stop now.
Once the resistance has settled down, kick it back into gear again, and this time go a little further, a little faster, and see where the new boundary really lies.
What they really need to know right now is how far they can push the envelope. Has the program of demoralization worked? How significantly, how completely has it worked? How many people still believe that the masks do anything, versus how many are complying anyway and wearing them?
The answer to that question is going to inform just how hard they push the envelope over the next year. If they find that there is still broad compliance - particularly alongside simultaneous, widespread knowledge that they do nothing - that right there is a blinking green light to continue and accelerate the effort to break apart this country, and consign us all to a Marxist, WEF-dominated hellscape, from which there will be no peaceful escape.
CMS Nursing Home Vax Data by STEVE KIRSCH
This CMS data is ground truth data. It simply doesn’t get any better than this dataset: it’s the biggest target audience, the data is fully reported on a per facility basis, and there are over 1M data reports and the data is provided on a record level basis.
The CMS data shows that the vaccines were a disaster for the elderly 3 different ways:
Short-term death rate of 25% or more: People died instantly or shortly after the shot was given.
Up to 2X higher likelihood of dying from COVID short term and an increased risk of catching COVID as well: Residents got a compromised immune system from the jab, so they got COVID and died from COVID in record numbers.
Up to 34% higher overall mortality risk for years post-jab: The jabs have permanently (or at least long term) weakened the immune system of all the recipients, young and old, so they are dying at a higher rate overall post-jab.
The biggest surprise for me in viewing the data was the huge variation in the IFR even in the same month of the year between facilities, even those with high numbers of cases (where you would expect to see the most consistent numbers). This suggests that the vaccine batches are variable or there is something else going on.
a huge QA problem with the batches. Some facilities had an “impossibly high” instant or near instant death rate while other places reported no problem. You can’t have a 25% same-day death rate at one facility and a 0% same-day death rate at another facility if there isn’t a QA problem with batches.
2020 Death Synchronicity by CARL HENEGHAN & TOM JEFFERSON
Notice anything?
Synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of events which may or may not be related but have a connection. By the end of 2020, deaths were asynchronous, but in April, all counties in England had synchronous rises.
either the virus struck at precisely the same time across England or other factors were at play.
Deaths may be in those who “tested positive”, but they may be in those rushed to hospital who underwent inappropriate, invasive procedures or iatrogenic causes were exposed to high concentrations of the agent whilst an inpatient or admitted to a nursing home and abandoned.
Adrenaline + Myo = Death by JESSICA ROSE
COVID-19 injection-induced sudden death during sleep is due to adrenaline surges that occur at night and is perhaps exacerbated by Adrenaline Dysautonomia (AD).
The adrenaline surge (or rush) results in cardiac arrest due to underlying heart damage. This heart damage is due to scar tissue formed in the myocardium (and pericardium) induced by the immune responses to the foreign proteins lodged there as a result of the shots.
I also think sudden deaths might be linked to adrenaline dysautonomia arising due to infiltration of massive quantities of LNPs (and subsequent foreign protein production) in the adrenal glands, perhaps leading to overactive adrenals.
As part of bio-distribution and accumulation studies, it was discovered that the LNPs traffic to and accumulate at high concentrations in the adrenal glands.
Where Are The Moderates? by JIM JANSEN
I’ll gladly support a political candidate that supports an environment where a Trump and a BLM rally can occur on the same stretch of Route 611 in a small town outside of Philadelphia, to peacefully congregate and voice their concerns.
The fight between the right and the left has made it almost impossible to make progress in areas that regular people like us truly care about. From my perspective, they are not interested in necessarily solving anything.
People will argue that the right has moved towards protecting open debate recently as opposed to the left. While I don’t disagree with this sentiment, I also believe this is the direct result of the position they found themselves in with the mainstream media which has become more “progressive” and continues to push left-wing agendas.
I’m old enough to remember how George W. Bush and the right worked to censor journalists that opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how he supported stricter censorship measures on broadcast radio and TV.
Transformation Of Transparency by MATT TAIBBI
Transparency for decades was understood to mean a pro-democratic concept giving ordinary citizens the power to see how their government operates, how taxes are spent, and whether or not public officials are complying with laws. It was not dystopian gibberish when the word became synonymous with the fight against abuse of power through organizations like Transparency International’s “Corruption Perceptions Index.”
By 2023, the transformation of the term “transparency” has advanced to a stage where the word is now commonly understood by politicians to mean the mathematical opposite of what someone like John Moss would have thought. When elite politicians and media figures speak of “transparency” now, they mean giving government power to obtain “transparency” into the activities of private citizens.
When the meanings of noble words are turned inside out, we have to pay attention, and this example is about as infamous as this sort of thing gets. Don’t let anyone tell you transparency means surrendering your privacy to the state. It’s supposed to be the other way around.
Repetition Of Words by SASHA LATYPOVA
there is no need for advanced technologies, brain chips or injected MAC addresses to control the minds of others! Simple repetition of words and phrases will brainwash most humans if they are not paying active attention or do not have skills to recognize and counteract this attack on their minds. Once you realize this, you can see this technique being used everywhere.
This is the principle behind Operation Mockingbird - repetition of simple phrases to the audience whose critical thinking skills are dulled or destroyed by bad education, encouraged disorganization, consumerism, addiction to TV, wokeness, bad nutrition, “public health”, the CDC’s childhood poisoning schedule and media propaganda.
No need to use any brain implants or nanotechnology. No need for high-tech transhumans. They are already here. The merging of human with machine interface is accomplished by “casting spells” on humans that, conveniently, have never been trained in critical thinking, and have never been educated beyond the level of a compliant obedient serf.
this is the nature of the 5th gen wars. The war is waged in the mind and in the word-vector space first.
2021 Avg Deaths Up 26% by T CODDINGTON
I went back to the CDC Wonder data and queried for 2018-2021 data that included state
2020: Total deaths ⬆ 22% over 18-19 avg.
2021: Total deaths ⬆ 26% over 18-19 avg.
Respiratory diseases and suicide (see below on overdoses… are some suicides/overdoses hard to label) decreased moderate or mildly. Cancer was basically flat (mild decrease).
Huge increases in drug & alcohol overdoses, other alcohol-induced causes, liver disease (also alcohol related, presumably), diabetes and homicides.
Also significant increases in major categories like cardiovascular, Alzheimer, Parkinson, accidents (Transport and Non-transport), and “Other”
Cold+Flu Merger & Rebrand by JORDAN SCHACHTEL
this claimed novel disease does not showcase any symptoms independent from that of a cold and/or flu. And we know that rarely if ever is a cold and/or flu diagnosed through lab sequencing.
Why is this variant different than the other variants? Nobody really knows, and that’s the point. You must remain fearful and on edge. Eris!
Covid-19 stands out because it was a successful brand merger of the common cold and the flu, which was rebranded into a more Pharma-friendly diagnosis.
Nobody has a cold anymore, nor do they have the flu.
Totalitarian Australia by REBEKAH BARNETT
Under the draft legislation, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will gain considerable expanded regulatory powers to “combat misinformation and disinformation,” which ACMA says poses a “threat to the safety and wellbeing of Australians, as well as to our democracy, society and economy.”
Digital platforms will be required to share information with ACMA on demand, and to implement stronger systems and processes for handling of misinformation and disinformation.
ACMA will be empowered to devise and enforce digital codes with a “graduated set of tools” including infringement notices, remedial directions, injunctions and civil penalties, with fines of up to $550,000 (individuals) and $2.75 million (corporations). Criminal penalties, including imprisonment, may apply in extreme cases.
Controversially, the government will be exempt from the proposed laws, as will professional news outlets
Canadian Hospital Data by DR. BYRAM W. BRIDLE
These are official data from Provincial Health Services Authority that I graphed. Remarkably, ambulance calls dropped by almost 6,000 when COVID-19 ran rampant through a naïve population. Then, upon introduction of the COVID-19 ‘vaccines’, call volumes increased by >21,000 per annum in the years 2021 and 2022. This seems to paint a story that there was something more dangerous in the years 2021 and 2022 than in 2020.
If COVID-19 Was so Horrific and the ‘Vaccines’ Were so Effective, This Should Show Up in Emergency Medical Services Data, Shouldn’t It?
Like the concerning all-cause mortality data that many have been discussing, this increased emergency medical services activity seems to point to an overall decline in health that correlates with the rollout of the COVID-19 shots.
CJ Hopkins Sentenced In Germany by MATT TAIBBI
American playwright and humorist C.J. Hopkins, profiled in this space on numerous occasions, has been sent a “punishment order” by a German judge, offering him a Sophie’s Choice of 60 days in jail or 3,600 euros.
His crime? Essentially, insulting the German health minister in a tweet, and using a scarcely-visible image of a Swastika on a mask in a book critical of the global pandemic response, The Rise of the New Normal Reich.
Non-Covid Death Surge In 15-24 Year Olds by T CODDINGTON
Nearly 15,000 more people (25% increase) just entering their prime years died in 2020-21 vs 2018-19. Less than 1 in 15 of those deaths have been labeled as due to COVID.
In 2020-21, for every 15-24 year old that died of COVID:
2x as many additional deaths (over 2018-19) died in car accidents
4x as many additional deaths (over 2018-19) died in homicides
5x as many additional deaths (over 2018-19) died in drug overdoses
In addition, there was an increase (over 2018-19) of almost 1 suicide for every 2 COVID deaths.
1971: The End Of Gold-Backed Money by NAKED EMPEROR
On August 15, 1971, in response to these challenges and to stave off a run on U.S. gold reserves, President Richard Nixon announced a series of economic measures, known as “The Nixon Shock”. The most significant of these was the suspension of the U.S. dollar's convertibility into gold. This move effectively ended the Bretton Woods system and transitioned the world into a fiat currency system, where money isn't based on physical commodities but rather the trust and confidence of the people who use it.
The aftermath of that shock can be seen in a great website called WTF Happened in 1971.
Denmark Reducing Transitions In Kids by SEGM
A major medical journal Ugeskrift for Læger, the Journal of the Danish Medical Association, confirmed that there has been a marked shift in the country’s approach to caring for youth with gender dysphoria. Most youth referred to the centralized gender clinic no longer get a prescription for puberty blockers, hormones or surgery—instead they receive therapeutic counseling and support.
following systematic reviews of evidence conducted in Europe and the subsequent reversal of the “gender-affirmation” paradigm in favor of a cautious, developmentally-informed approach that prioritizes psychosocial support and noninvasive resolution of gender distress in Sweden and Finland, Denmark appears to have made a quiet but resolute shift to treat most youth presenting with gender dysphoria with supportive counseling rather than puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery. In 2022, only 6 percent of those referred to Denmark’s centralized gender clinic were prescribed endocrine interventions (puberty blockers and/or cross-sex hormones).
Maternal Mortality Rates by THE VIGILANT FOX
The WHO defines maternal death as “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes.” In plain English, that means the death of a pregnant woman from non-accidental causes within 42 days following or during pregnancy.
“The maternal mortality rate for 2021 was 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 23.8 in 2020 and 20.1 in 2019,” according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
That’s a 38.2% increase compared to 2020 and a 63.7% increase from 2019. Overall, a 50% increase in maternal mortality — very troubling numbers.
In all fairness, the maternal death rate in America has been gradually rising over the past three decades, despite spending the most money on healthcare, but the surge in maternal deaths in 2021 is an outlier, even with the prior trend.
Teachers Gone Wild by JUDSON STACY VEREEN
When one visits the social media accounts of these educators of a new archetype, we see the same oozing of buzzwords, word salad, and an eagerness to defy social norms in regard to sex chatter among students. More and more we see classrooms dripping with BLM posters and rainbow flags, and teachers are taking it upon themselves to take the children aside, in private, and become their mentors - political, social, and sexual advice givers.
Also worth noting is that many teachers seem to be quite cognizant of the rules and norms they are breaking. They flaunt their rebellion and hide their agenda in ways that a student would from their teacher.
The teachers who pursue indoctrinating children with radical sex ideology are contributing to the future illness of adults. They have made a grave error in calculating their role as guardians and promotors of current fad ideology. No matter the toxicity of current-day politics, children deserve a childhood, and one that exists outside the calamitous rhetoric of our modern times.
