Republican "Enablers" by JOHN LEAKE
While we often complain about Democrats having lost their minds, we ignore the conspicuous fact that many (though not all) Republicans do little to oppose their madness and often seem to play along with it.
I’m even beginning to wonder if many Republicans are now in the business of merely pretending to oppose Democratic Party craziness so that the citizenry will be lulled into thinking that someone in Washington is looking out for them. Meanwhile, both parties go along with running $1.5 trillion budget deficits to fund an increasingly dysfunctional country
Promoting Fear To Push The Vax by KELLEY K
On Friday, September 22, CNN ran a surprising piece about rising Covid hospitalizations, particularly concerning children…The CNN article was based in part on recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) — COVID-19 hospital admissions among children rising again.
The AAP stated that “While children ages 0-4 are one-quarter of the overall U.S. child population, they comprise roughly half of recent COVID-19 hospital admissions.” This is presented as if it is a new concerning trend, but it has been true since June 2022. The 5-11 age group has always had the lowest hospitalization rates, and now that teens have widespread immunity, the 0-4 age group makes up a disproportionate amount of pediatric hospitalizations.
Using the same hospital dataset the AAP is using, the latest data for ages 0-4 shows that it reached a plateau on August 28 when viewed as a rolling 7-day average. AAP’s report uses weekly totals each Saturday, which showed a small increase for the weeks ending Sept. 2 and Sept. 9, and then drops in the latest file for the week ending Sept. 16 (not available at the time of their report).
The quote in the AAP report from the AAP President makes it clear that making the case for vaccinating young kids is the primary goal of this report
Vax Causes Vaginal Bleeding by NAKED EMPEROR
“Women who don’t menstruate — including postmenopausal women and those on contraceptives — were several times more likely to experience unexpected vaginal bleeding after COVID-19 vaccination than before the vaccines were offered.”
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health followed several cohorts throughout the pandemic and early performed a systematic data collection of self-reported unexpected vaginal bleeding in nonmenstruating women.
While the study didn’t delve into the mechanisms behind the unexpected bleeding, it suggested the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein used in the vaccines might be the culprit. But remember, the vaccine stays in your arm.
Fauci And The CIA by ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
So, basically Fauci impeded a CIA investigation or helped in a CIA cover-up because of the crimes he committed. That is clear because the CIA reported early on that the virus was not man-made and a DNI report generated about the origins of the virus also claimed it was most likely not man-made - that the virus jumped from animals to humans naturally in the wild. This is false. Most likely, Fauci knew and lied to the CIA. Either that, or the CIA lied and Fauci assisting the CIA in generating that lie.
Either way, Fauci must be prosecuted. There must by an independent inquiry with a special prosecutor - separate from the DOJ. Congress must authorize a special prosecutor now and continue on with their own investigations. It is time for a prosecutor to step in, so charges can be filed.
Depression Tied To Lockdowns by JUSTIN HART
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a crucible for examining the interplay between public health interventions and mental health outcomes. A recent study published in JAMA Network scrutinizes this very issue, detailing the correlation between community mobility and depressive symptoms among American adults. The study is robust in its methodology, surveying 192,271 respondents and adjusting for numerous confounding variables.
Its conclusions evoke profound questions about the unintended psychological ramifications of public health measures, specifically those that restrict social interaction and movement.
The study's principal finding—that decreased community mobility correlates with elevated depressive symptoms—is neither entirely surprising not easily dismissible.
Even after the widespread availability of vaccines, people living in communities where fewer individuals ventured outside experienced higher levels of depression.
McConnell Reveals The Plan by JORDAN SCHACHTEL
In making the case for the continuing war effort, McConnell made sure to mention that the “Ukrainians,” and not Americans, “are doing the fighting themselves,” as if this was some kind of video game that justified the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of human beings.
His next comment really let the cat out of the bag.
“As a result of the weapons transfers that we’ve made to Ukraine, we are reindustrializing our base here in the United States,” McConnell added. “And we’re employing a significant number of Americans, in this country, building our industrial base again.”
Translation: The war in Ukraine is a government jobs program. It’s good for business, especially for the defense industry, as it justifies continuing purchase orders.
mRNA In Autopsied Hearts by JESSICA ROSE
Ultimately, they found the injection material in the heart.
They looked harder at the people with modmRNA in their heart. They found ‘healing myocardial injury’ (dense scar formation) in 3/3 of the people where they found modmRNA in the heart, but in only 2/9 of the people where they didn’t find modmRNA in the heart.
The effects from SARS-CoV-2 are NOT the same as the effects from the injections and this is based on the fact that the LNPs have the ability to traffic everywhere in the human body.
Long Spike Syndrome by PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
Diexer et al published a study of 48,826 Germans and found that 70% who contracted COVID-19 were fully vaccinated. These data imply the vaccines are making post-COVID syndrome worse in most analyses. Fortunately with each new variant the rate and risk of post-COVID syndrome is less. A total of 6643 (13.6%) were unvaccinated at the time of first infection or post-COVID. The lowest risk group was the unvaccinated who had there first infection with Omicron. In general, vaccinated faired worse than the unvaccinated.
This paper has essentially destroyed the false narrative that all the symptoms and misery the world experiencing is due to COVID-19 respiratory illness. Indeed it is serial untested, unsafe, ineffective, genetic COVID-19 vaccination that is the real cause of chronic health conditions emerging today.
Stays In The Arm Body by JUSTIN HART
the detection of vaccine mRNA in lymph nodes and heart tissue up to 30 days post-vaccination, association with prior myocardial injury, and lack of detection in other organs studied. The sample size was relatively small at 20 patients but confirms the GROWING list of case reports we have
The association of myocardial injury with vaccine detection in the heart unveils a potentially crucial aspect of vaccine interaction within our cardiac tissues. Though the exact mechanism remains elusive, this finding beckons a more in-depth investigation into the myocardial interplay with mRNA vaccines.
Vax Increasing Cardio Issues by DR. BYRAM W. BRIDLE @DR. BYRAM W. BRIDLE
Pre-COVID years: The number of cardiovascular events for which ambulances were called was on the rise (slope = 180.4). This makes sense for a growing population. I confirmed this growth by checking the Niagara Region’s population data.
The year that COVID ran wild through the ‘unprotected’ population, the slope was only 48, meaning that there was barely an increase in calls relative to the year prior to the declaration of a pandemic; it almost flat-lined and call numbers stayed below what they were back in 2018. This contradicts nasty messages that I received from some paramedics in early 2021 who thought I was ‘off my rocker nuts’ for suggesting that there might not be a net benefit to masking, locking down and injecting children.
In stark contrast to the narrative that I was taught, there has been a startling increase in the rate at which ambulance calls have been occurring for cardiovascular events ever since the COVID shots that were guaranteed to prevent severe disease were rolled out. Notably, the slope was 487. This means that calls for cardiovascular events have been increasing in the COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ era at 2.7-times the rate of the pre-COVID era.
Defending Free Speech by EMILY BURNS
we must defend the pariah’s right to speak or everyone who crosses the regime, conveniently becomes a pariah.
The primacy free speech enjoys here in the U.S. has nothing whatever to do with some dewy-eyed ideal of tolerance. Rather, it owes its primacy to pragmatism. Freedom of speech is the best tool we have to ascertain the truth of any given matter. Like a sculptor transforming a shapeless piece of marble into a work of art, free and open debate chisels away at the falsehoods and misapprehensions in which the truth lays embedded. Restrict debate, and the gradual emergence of that truth will be delayed or deformed, with the result imperfect at times to the point of monstrosity.
We’re experiencing an information total war, resulting in blanket shutdown of any and all debate on each and every topic the government would prefer not to discuss. The cost to truth from this censorship carpet-bombing has been enormous. Lacking the refinement that comes from criticism and debate, the policies issuing from this informational hellscape are brutal and barbaric.
We have censorship to thank for the creation and implementation of divisive, harmful and unjust policies. Lockdowns, school closures, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports all find their origins in the truth-starved, debate-deprived offices of our behemoth bureaucracies. Their continuance well after their futility was demonstrated empirically, and the harms they would cause already beginning to manifest can likewise be attributed to the same benighted bedfellows.
Grape Seed Tanin by WALTER M CHESNUT
Natural tannins have the ability to not only stop the Spike Protein’s interaction with ACE2, thereby inhibiting infection, they also have the ability to inhibit the replication of the virus. Think of it as Tannins put up a two-tiered “barrier” to the invasion of SARS-CoV-2. And they do this quite well.
Grapes are a natural fruit containing abundant tannin
seedless grapes contained far less level of OPCs than regular grapes with seeds (Figure 6D) and suggested that grape seeds were an important source of OPCs, the main compound of the three tannins.
Where’s The Vent Data? by JESSICA HOCKETT
there’s no public data showing what daily ventilator capacity in NYC actually was, how many individual patients were placed on the machines, or how many deaths there were among ventilated patients. State and federal agencies are closeting the data we need, and the data we have is obscuring the truth.
a purported 20,000+ New York residents died in hospitals during The Death Spike. How many were placed on ventilators upon arrival or during their stay? Has there been a Great COVID Ventilator Cover Up
no third-party witnesses were allowed on the battlefield. The testimonies we’ve heard are from crisis actors, travel nurses, and head-scratching stories of patients going from talking on the phone one minute to being intubated the next.
5 Dead For Every 1 Saved by STEVE KIRSCH
zero deaths from all other vaccines combined, but 87 deaths reported for the COVID vaccine!?!?!
West Australia stats imply a vaccine kill rate of at least 223 deaths per million doses which is a VERY deadly vaccine that should never have been put on the market. It means we are killing at least 5 people for every 1 person we MIGHT save from a COVID death. This is nonsensical.
But it turns out the vaccine isn’t saving anyone from dying from COVID. We know that from the US Nursing home data.
So it’s even more nonsensical.
2020 Care Home Confinement Disease by CARL HENEGHAN & TOM JEFFERSON
“Confinement Disease”, which is likely more harmful than covid in care homes. ‘Among long-term care residents in the Southern Ile-de-France region, more than 24 covid deaths among 140 residents occurred in 5 days. None were due to acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death was mainly due to hypovolemic shock as residents were confined to their rooms for several days without assistance with eating and drinking.’
Confinement leads to feelings of being in prison: “…rather than keeping them in hospital we would send them [to the COVID-19 unit], and then once they’re 14 days clear, I know it’s 10 now, but it was 14, then they would go back to their original care home. But it’s just been carnage, to say the least.”
The study interviews also showed how degrading and impersonal confinement practices were “…so they couldn’t have their belongings until it had been left in a certain place and washed at a certain heat and 72 hours before you can have them back. You go in your room, and you can’t see anybody, and when you do, they’ve got masks and visors, and you cannot hear them, and you’ve got all of that.”
Safety Vs Freedom by TOM RENZ
we are now seeing that our DOD and CIA were largely responsible for the creation of both COVID and the vaccines but what remains truly disturbing is the willingness of many to tolerate the loss of their freedoms without asking any real questions about the truth behind the claims used to justify that loss.
the deep state comes from our military industrial complex and is comprised, primarily, of the unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats and officials that have the authority to use “security” as a justification to monitor and limit freedom. When freedom can be monitored and limited without oversight of those with that authority it becomes a recipe for disaster.
To that extent, our CIA, DIA, DOD, DHS and many others are exempt from many disclosure laws, are in no way accountable to the public, have an endless budget, and have almost unlimited authority to obtain data on everything and everyone. The scariest part is that these same people can use the data they obtain to manipulate the public under the guise of “keeping us safe” and we the people have no way to know it is happening nor do we have any real recourse if they behave corruptly.
Overgrown Executive by JOHN LEAKE
One of the few Senators who opposed the PREP Act was Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, who issued a statement demanding its repeal while condemning the liability provisions as a giveaway to the drug industry. Kennedy said the bill makes it "essentially impossible" for injured parties to sue for damages, and that the measure allows common diseases to be used as a reason to activate the liability shield.
Senator Kennedy’s protest of the PREP Act was, at the time—when the public was terrified of attacks using anthrax and other bioterrorism agents—an unpopular position to take. Most Congressmen regarded his protest as expressing too much concern about U.S. government and corporate abuse, and not enough concern for protecting the American people from bioterrorism.
In order to protect the citizenry from threats (foreign and domestic) to public safety, it is necessary for the Executive to have robust law enforcement, intelligence, and military agencies at its disposal. However, as the Founding Fathers recognized, the greatest threat to liberty is often posed NOT by foreign armies and domestic outlaws, but by what Madison called “an overgrown executive.” As he warned at the Constitutional Convention:
“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”
Deaths By Vax Status by CLARE CRAIG
Using this methodology to figure out the excess mortality among the vaccinated among over 80 year olds the all cause excess works out at 18,700 deaths from December 2022 to February 2023.
Interestingly that is a close match for the calculation carried out using a totally different methodology in my last post (17,000 including non-covid and covid deaths). That is a huge number.
It is a good indicator that if there was no current problem with excess mortality in the vaccinated, we would be seeing fewer deaths than expected for the time of year. Instead, deaths have been higher, particularly so in the young and particularly for cardiovascular causes of death.
For deaths from Alzheimer’s, the pattern is as we might expect for deaths overall - high mortality followed by lower than expected deaths.
5 Ways To Transfect by DR AH KAHN SYED
in this one product there are at least 5 ways in which the product design and manufacture ended up with mechanisms that increase the risk of DNA going into the nucleus of your cells, thus modifying your genome.
1: The Lipid Nanoparticles
The important point is that the LNP is a transfectant medium. The lipid acts as something that takes the nucleic acid product (DNA or RNA) into the cell and potentially onto the nucleus. That’s what transfection agents do.
2: Linearised plasmid DNA
The bottom line being that, in general, if you want to have an effect on an organism (e.g. a person) using genetic methods, you can do this temporarily with RNA (which will then produce protein and should then degrade so it doesn’t produce any more) but if you want to make it more permanent you would use DNA and integrate it into the genome.
3: The SV40 enhancer
if that promoter gets into the genome next to a cancer gene you’re going to be in big trouble, potentially causing a “turbo cancer” which is a term that has appeared recently.
4. Spike protein nuclear localisation signal
Essentially, the spike protein (not the RNA or DNA) contains a special peptide sequence which acts as a nuclear transporter of any DNA that is attached to it. It’s one of many mechanisms for nuclear transport
5. Open Reading Frame in the PolyA tail
theoretically - if that sequence (ore even the one before it) were to “read through” the stop codons ahead of it, or if that fragment separated (because the plasmid was chopped up into pieces), there is a possibility of producing a poly-K sequence peptide. And that is a very highly charged sequence which could carry anything into the nucleus.
All Hearts Damaged by IGOR CHUDOV
A new scientific study by Nakahara et al. tested COVID-vaccinated people to see if they have “silent” changes in heart muscle function that standard radiology tests could detect. The study shows very unsettling results.
“Conclusions: Focal myocardial 18F-FDG uptake seen on oncologic PET/CT indicates a significantly increased risk for multiple myocardial abnormalities.”
Was the increase in myocardial inflammation due to a few unlucky patients driving high averages, with most people remaining unaffected?
Unfortunately, that is not the case: all quartiles were affected deleteriously
