Japan’s “Silent Eating” Study by GUY GIN
the idiocy that Japanese adults were willing to make children go along with, so Japanese school kids were forced to eat in silence for 2.5 to 3 years.
they’ve released a study showing that talking while unmasked didn’t make a difference during lunchtimes, it’d be nice if the researchers did a study showing that talking while unmasked didn’t make a difference during the rest of the school day either.
“[W]e did not find strong evidence supporting the notion that silent eating during lunchtime at school would decrease the spread of infection.”
“Our findings indicate that policymakers should be cautious about using silent eating at schools as a potential lever to control outbreaks of infectious diseases.”
Singapore’s Excess Mortality by AUSSIE17
keep an eye on Singapore's data as it serves as the world's petri dish. The latest quarterly excess mortality data reveals that Singapore, alongside Qatar, is leading the race with a staggering 37% mortality rate.
Singapore's efficiency in administering booster doses has positioned them as the first nation globally to complete this process, leading to the fastest decline in natural population numbers. It brings to mind the time when the government proudly claimed to have the first fully vaccinated airline.
Horse Paste Cures Cancer by JEFF CHILDERS
study suggests the Nobel-winning anti-parasitic drug ivermectin — often used by independent doctors to treat covid — might also cure lung cancer. Specifically, the researchers found that ivermectin kills lung cancer cells both in vitro (Petri dishes) and in vivo (mice). And it works in multiple ways. According to the researchers, ivermectin suppressed lung cancer in at least three different ways:
(1) Ivermectin stopped the cancer cells from growing and dividing,
(2) Ivermectin caused the cancer cells to die (“apoptosis”), and
(3) Ivermectin increased the process of cells breaking down their own damaged or unwanted parts (“autophagy”).
The researchers found that the way ivermectin works is by inhibiting a protein called PAK1, which is more highly expressed in lung cancers than in normal tissues, and lung cancer patients showing high PAK1 levels have a worse prognosis. PAK1 has been linked to cancer cell growth and survival. So when PAK1 is inhibited, the cancer cells cannot grow or divide and eventually die.
Change In Antibiotic Treatment by MARTIN NEIL, JONATHAN ENGLER & NORMAN FENTON
The most damning evidence can be found in this NICE Rapid Guideline (NG163) (published 3 April 2020) that has since been deleted. However, it can be found via the wayback machine here. NG163 is effectively a palliative care pathway that did not recommend the use of antibiotics. It did, however, recommend the use of midazolam for treating patients aged 18 or over with ‘anxiety’ even though midazolam did not have a UK marketing authorisation for this purpose
antibiotic prescriptions reduced dramatically in the UK from Spring 2020 to Summer 2021 and then again over the winter of 2021/22.
antibiotics often have antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties that will also help when treating viral and bacterial infections. This is the case with azithromycin and a cursory search of pubMed results in 58 papers on the topic.
The possibility must be raised that the widespread use of face coverings was synergistically harmful when combined with a deliberate policy of restricting antibiotic use.
It has long been recognised that bacterial pneumonia frequently caused by so-called “commensal” bacteria - i.e., those which normally colonise the nose and mouth.
“ICEBERG AHEAD!” by CECIL A. GRANT JR @CECIL A. GRANT JR
All of our institutions: our military, our military academies, our local schools, and our government have crashed into the iceberg of liberal progressive politics. They are sinking America into the chilling waters of cancel culture, political correctness, career politicians, misinformation, wokeism, mainstream media, open borders, high inflation, high crime, international turmoil, diversity policies that don't recognize diversity of thought, and climate control madness.
As Americans, we must unite against what is a tyrannical government. We must unite to save those things that have made this country great. We must vote out career politicians such as Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, and Joe Biden. We the people are the only ones who can make America great again.
Green Grift by EL GATO MALO
the green grift is not about saving the world. it’s about robbing it.
this is not about “solving the crisis,” it’s about perpetuating the problem to profit from perpetual subsidy sucking.
like all forced collectivism it’s not about the common good, it’s about entrenching a small group of profiteers and tyrants atop the populace that they may not only extract legal plunder but erect the facile moral codes that demand societal gratitude for having done so
it’s another perfect setup where the demand that banks lend for reasons other than creditworthiness destabilizes banks and makes them ever more dependent upon the Fed and treasury to aid and backstop them which, in turn, makes them ever more pliable for the next set of lending demands.
UniParty Hates The UniParty Label by JORDAN SCHACHTEL
on every consequential issue involving control and power, the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats choose to side with the Uniparty, often leaving little distinction between the two parties.
The wealth redistribution caused by the people who control the power of the purse is crippling 99% of Americans to the benefit of the ruling class in Washington and on Wall Street. Pretending that Republicans (especially those in leadership) serve as a bulwark to this corruption is a laughable delusion.
During the Covid hysteria era, our rights were completely curtailed, with the full support of D.C. world. The whole of Washington cheered on the fastest roll up of power in US history. And people still wonder why nobody is being held accountable for anything…
Full Circle On The Patriot Act by JEFF EINSTEIN
As far as I can tell, America has descended into collective madness, what some refer to as a mass formation psychosis, at least three times so far in the 21st century. Each instance was triggered by a large-scale event that traumatized and galvanized a significant portion of the American population. Each was accompanied and promoted by a massive wave of highly profitable corporate and state propaganda. Each is patently insane and therefore unresponsive to reason.
The first came in response to the horrific trauma of 9/11. It birthed the monstrous Patriot Act, the equally monstrous Department of Homeland Security, and unleashed the bipartisan War on Terror.
The collective madness of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is now dismantling the American rule of law. Those driven most insane by it — including corporate media, the technomedia cartel, most of the Democratic Party, and virtually all of institutional America — are now willing to destroy our democracy in order to save it.
mea culpas can’t be about the behavior of others. Mine are no exception. In retrospect, I’m both horrified and ashamed by my willingness to surrender my own agency to the whims of government and corporate profiteers for several years in the aftermath of 9/11. I know better now. I knew better back then also.
The Process Is The Product by EL GATO MALO
the jab was literally full of the compounds used in its fabrication that had no place in a final product and these are not even just toxins, they are plasmids, actual factories for making pathogens. the idea of a “safe level” for such a thing seems fraught and they missed the alleged limits by an order of magnitude anyhow.
having been pinned with “well yes, this is obviously true” the pfizer apologists have pivoted to a new argument of “well, sure, that may be so, but they did a massive drug trial and it was proven “safe and effective” so whatever this is, it doesn’t matter.”
the pfizer BNT162b2 trial was performed using a compound produced using a very different manufacturing process from the one used to create the drug that was actually shipped and sold.
the industry axiom has been constant for 100 years: “the process is the product.” make it a different way, and you have no idea if it’s the same thing. and the FDA knows this full well; it’s been a cornerstone of their approval process since the beginning.
the vaccine they shipped was a different drug than the one they got approved by the FDA by pretty much any reasonable standard.
there is really no other sound conclusion here: this was a bait and switch and the drug pfizer shipped to the general public was not the one they used in the trial and that the FDA approved.
CDC’s Updated Marketing by KELLEY K
We don’t need more understandable messaging. We need more accurate information.
It’s clear that the CDC has learned nothing and is determined to double-down on their bad decisions throughout the pandemic instead of actually trying to rebuild trust in their failed institution.
It seems they’ve been doing some marketing/PR research, focus groups probably, about how to get more people vaccinated. They decided to forgo sharing accurate information, and instead rely on overly simple, ease-to-understand messages.
Their creative team even shared some of their new social media campaign that “leverages emotional ties to loved ones as the key motivator.” Somehow they think that this will “counterbalance...concerns around fear mongering.”
the preview that the CDC shared of their upcoming social media campaign is focused on this “stop the spread” propaganda that tells people to literally “DO EVERYTHING” to keep well, and lists vaccines, testing, air quality improvements, and masks.
Pharma: Organized Crime Racket by DAVID MARKS
Doctors with the best motivation are powerless against the assault from corporate forces. Even if they have the will to cure someone, the structure of the business manipulates them into seeing patients as their source of income. An inextricable relationship with pharmaceutical companies provides an endless supply of products that treat symptoms rather than supporting immunity and good health.
People with illness or pain are hostages to the medical establishment. Most who are in physical or mental agony easily give up their autonomy to authorities who apply symptomatic solutions that often suppress illness.
Long before the advent of vaccine injuries, an untold number of medical problems were caused by prescribed drugs. These iatrogenic disorders continue to be a leading cause of suffering, hospitalizations, and death.
The abhorrent means of extortion of an organized crime protection racket are now the standard practices of the pharmaceutical industry and their cronies; government agencies and doctors are their enforcers. This reckless atmosphere allows associated criminal activity, including the engendering of disease through negligent oversight of toxic causes and experimentation with pathogens.
N1-methyl-Pseudouridine by ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
the effects of injection of these highly modified synthetic pseudo-mRNA have not been adequately investigated.
Natural RNA, including mRNA, consists of a polymerized string of four different compounds - A, U, G, C. U = Uridine.
In cells after polymerization, in some mRNA there are precisely controlled modifications to the “U” compounds (bases) to convert them to a different compound, called pseudouridine.
the synthetic pseudo-mRNA (which is very different in many ways from naturally produced mRNA) manufactured and dosed into humans throughout the globe does not even contain pseudouridine.
Instead, it incorporates a synthetic molecule which is even more potent that naturally occurring pseudouridine, called N1 Methyl pseudouridine, which is structurally more closely related to the molecule Thymidine, which is found in DNA (not RNA).
The inconvenient truth in this matter is that current scientific understanding of the molecular biology, immunology and toxicology of both Pseudouridine - modified mRNA as well as N1-methyl-Pseudouridine - modified mRNA is still in development. In plain words, not well understood at this point. What is clear is that these modified pseudo-mRNA have a wide range of biological effects, including immunosuppression.
Vaccine Injury Gulf War Syndrome by NORMAN FENTON
first Gulf war of 1991 consisted of 39 nations with 28 providing a total of 670,000 troops
the effective number of nations in the alliance was 36 and that, of these, only five subjected their forces’ personnel to an experimental immunisation programme. These nations were UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Denmark.
all forces from the five vaccinated nations would suffer abnormally high rates of illness, while none of the 31 nations whose unvaccinated forces would suffer abnormally high rates
we conclude that there is no more than a 1 in 1.25 million chance that this pattern of normal and abnormal rates between the vaccinated and unvaccinated nations could happen without a causal explanation.
One possible causal explanation is, of course, that the high rates in the vaccinated nations were the result of the vaccination programme.
Other possible causal explanations could be:
Different combat roles of soldiers in the vaccinated and unvaccinated nations
Different reporting practices between the vaccinated and unvaccinated nations.
UniParties Abound by JORDAN SCHACHTEL
when you observe across the Anglosphere, you’ll find systems where one-party rule is fully set in stone, serving as cautionary tales for the not so distant future of the United States
Prior to the Covid hysteria era, at least on paper, some would point to these two party systems as proof that there was no uniparty. They cited the fact that there are two separate major political organizations that participate in the electoral process.
But when “the pandemic” happened, it became very apparent that on every major issue, both parties support the same agenda items. As for the next Current Thing, whether that is the climate hoax or the proxy war in Ukraine, the parties remain united behind these efforts.
America is not yet fully captured, but it will be if our countrymen take the route of naivety, and proceed to mock the idea that a fully captured system couldn’t happen here, especially when America is the last country standing in the way
Submission To ESG by DUPONT LAJOIE
A good ESG score is key to finding investors and showing allegiance to the woke ideology has become a strategy to boost the overall rating.
Multinational companies are keen to endorse virtuous and progressive ideas in order to sell more. Those businesses play on emotion to reassure the consumer about their intentions. They promote ethics and morality, sometimes more than their products or services, and market the spectacle of virtue to shape their reputation publicly.
Some of the most immoral companies – engaging in child labor, social dumping, collective redundancy, workforce abuses, etc employ such strategies to appear righteous and signal to their (potential) customers that they share similar moral values.
with such financial and technological power, it's no wonder that Larry Fink can demand, in a letter written each year to CEOs on behalf of BlackRock’s clients, that corporations must contribute to society in the private or public sector i.e. embrace the ESG rating.
Those refusing to play along might jeopardize potential investment opportunities. Consequently, the ESG score, supposedly a tool to encourage virtuous behavior, is de facto a social credit assigned to firms, the hijacking of capital until the submission to the Davos agenda.
Dangers Of Porn by LIBS OF TIKTOK
The danger of porn––especially for minors––is that there is plenty of research to indicate that porn is addictive. Sexual gratification results in a surge of a hormone called dopamine that the Cleveland Clinic describes as providing “a sense of pleasure.”
Naturally, human beings will seek out activities providing them with that spike of dopamine, whether it be eating sugary foods or sex. The danger with porn is that, as Neuroscience News explains, “habituated porn users instinctively reach for their phones and laptops when desire comes calling” rather than a spouse or partner.
the effect is worse on adolescents as their developing brains release more dopamine, and thus are more susceptible to becoming addicted to porn. The problem, of course, is that excessive amounts of dopamine naturally result in depression or anxiety.
It’s no wonder that a 2013 study from Cambridge University found that a porn addict’s brain resembles that of an alcoholic or gambling addict.
Where Are The Documentaries? by JESSICA HOCKETT
We’re a long way from understanding what happened in New York City. It may take years, if not decades.
For now, the central claim that state and federal data are making about real-time deaths in the city’s hospitals should not be accepted as necessarily true. Until death certificates that substantiate the number and places of death that occurred each day have been released, the daily and weekly tolls for 2020 should be regarded with skepticism.
Looking at the number of deaths that hospitals experienced in this time, would you expect follow-up documentaries, features, and stories about what happened? Is there a right time to expect this kind of retrospective work?
Green Tea Vs Spike by WALTER M CHESNUT
black tea compounds such as deriviatives of tea cathecins had similar effects. Perhaps most importantly, these compounds bind to the RBD of the Spike Protein, rendering it unable to bind to ACE2.
What I find extremely promising, and most interesting, is that simply consuming a Green Tea Candy inactivated the virus in saliva. Again, why does Granny need to be "protected" by a gene transfection when a rather flavorful candy can ACTUALLY aid in preventing transmission?
Tea cathechins may hold great promise in suppressing the transmission of mutant viruses.
Debanking In Canada by JUSTIN HART
Over the past few years, a marked increase in the peculiar phenomenon of "debanking" has haunted Canadians who dared to chart their own course through the pandemic. Rebel News recently plunged the depths of this crisis as revealed through compelling data procured by Blacklock's Reporter via an access-to-information request from the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. It uncovers how, since 2018, a staggering 837 Canadians have experienced sudden, unexplained closures of their bank accounts. (Well, we kinda know why!).
the ramifications of debanking, especially when it affects individuals whose only "crime" is supporting a particular sociopolitical movement, the Freedom Convoy. The data indicates that among the debanked, 267 belong precisely to this category
More startling is the revelation by the Canadian Bankers Association that depositors can be “flagged for life.” So, once marked, an individual's financial record will forever bear the burden of this societal ostracism.
Denying One’s Existence by AJ KAY
When the fantasy of being the opposite gender lives only in one’s head, its existence remains relegated to the imagination. But when a man convinces other people to agree that he is a woman — and he gets his legal documents changed to identify him as a woman, and he suddenly has access to women-only spaces and rights and opportunities — that “womanhood” no longer exists only in his mind. The “validation” allows for a measurable and observable impact on the external world.
In other words, on some level, it exists.
So what happens when observers refuse to affirm the transgender fantasy? That’s right — their existence is effectively denied. The fantasy loses its footing in reality and ceases to exist in any meaningful way. Of course, the trans-identifying person doesn’t cease to exist as a living entity, but their fantasy reverts to existing only in their mind as soon as the people around them stop pretending it’s legitimate.
Whether refusal to validate trans-identifying people denies their existence or not doesn’t matter. Free societies don’t compel speech. No one in this country is obligated to lie about their sensory perceptions (at least not in most locales – and not yet). Consent matters. Acknowledging material reality is not “hate,” and regardless, “hate speech” is protected. And as growing numbers of people realize the legitimate harms being inflicted in service of validating these individuals’ fantasies, I imagine they’ll be increasingly unwilling to “affirm” them into existence.
UK’s Online Safety Bill by MR LAW, HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY
Either the politicians who wrote the Online Safety Bill were being deliberately obtuse and vague in order to build a law that could trap almost anyone for almost anything online, or they really are as technologically illiterate as some commentators said back in 2021
Parliament claim the OSB’s purpose is to make use of the internet safer for all individuals. Meanwhile, we can only infer that a safer internet simply means what remains after operation of the Bill, because the Bill itself never actually provides concrete definitions for many terms - leaving big tech, police and courts to infer what might constitute a safe internet or the quantum for nebulous harms that providers are required to protect us from.
we can only infer that the real reason much of the OSB exists can only be because the government wants to monitor, capture, censor and control what the broader non-tech savvy population sees and does on the internet.

If I can share an editorial comment/suggestion, it would be this: Substack readers need to become a part of the “10 percent (paid)” … not the current 1 to 4 percent.
Just like our adversaries are tripling down on their lies and cover-ups, our side needs to triple down on our support of the people who scare them the most.
In my latest article, I expound on several key Substack metrics and present one easy “solution” that would help our side more effectively fight - and scare - our adversaries …
