Thanks for your reply! I hope to manufacture some time for further investigation; the 5 hours I lost this morning will be hard to recoup. TASS has an article parsing what Putin said was the likely Summit agenda:
“‘We will discuss issues of bilateral relations. I believe that we will try to find ways to regulate these relations, right now, they are at a very low level, we know this very well,’ Putin said on Friday during the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
“We will talk strategic stability, regulation of international conflicts in hot spots. We will talk about disarmament processes, the fight against terrorism, I hope. About the fight against the pandemic and environmental issues. This is the tentative agenda.”
Strategic Culture editorial links the spying to summit:
“The White House and several U.S. lawmakers, as well as anti-Russian European lawmakers, were huffing and puffing that Biden would reproach Putin over allegations of the Kremlin’s malign conduct. Those allegations include Russian intelligence agencies and hackers interfering in Western democracies. How richly ironic! And for people willing to see the truth, how powerfully self-indicting of American and European actual malign conduct, as opposed to the baseless claims made against Moscow.”
But I doubt Putin will waste time on the obvious.

Alcoholism – thanks to the miracle of modern science, we know that alcoholism is a social phenomenon, a product of social organization (namely, alienation), not principally a product of genetics or individual choice. doesn’t mean shit for treatment, does it? AA it is.
how many other problems is it much, much simpler to empirically verify the cause of? the wildfires in the Pacific NW and CA aren’t causing themselves. and? and nothing. Paul Bunyan rampages on. most scientists still envision the end of the world long before they can imagine the end of capitalism. they know that burning gasoline is the effectively the same thing as drinking it. and? and nothing. pump it into millions and millions of cars and bleat like the rest of the sheep.

How can they claim malign behavior when everybody knows that Merkel’s telephone was compromised, now the Danish affair and how quick all the virtuous faux lefties forgot about Guantánamo or Abu Ghraib?

Why human primates behave the way they do has long been a mystery, but it’s not too hard to discover through the discipline of Anthropology AND close study of all primates, since human history properly done includes its progenitors. Also, it was Arthur C. Clarke who envisioned the encounter Kubrick filmed; neither knew about Universal Grammar at the time since Chomsky was still in the process of trying to explain/prove it. Clarke’s was a hypothesis that proved false. Hominids had “language” well before the developmental stage depicted in 2001. They also competed for resources as was depicted. The “idea” that “blood-lust” was “installed” via an alien encounter is also false thanks to close study of primates. I watched 2001 when it was first released in 1968 and was impressed but had already read the book, so I knew what was being depicted was 100% fictional. Years ago, I provided MoA readers with a very short version of my hypothesis dealing with human behavior and IMO when/why our current dysfunction arose and has afflicted us since. If I find the time, I’ll rewrite it and post it to my VK Page; but that won’t happen anytime soon.

Democracy?? Someone just turned the lights on. This is a relentless take down by Cristopher Black at Strategic Culture.
The Copenhagen Summit for Democracy: A Review

All through the two days of the event it struck me that I was watching a conference of Nazis. They wore different style clothing than did Hitler and his forces in the 30s and 40s but they spoke the same way, talked the same way, are as ruthless and murderous as the Nazis, have the same objectives as Hitler, the destruction and occupation of Russia, China, Europe, the world; who pretend they are democrats but are themselves the ones who want to create a totalitarian world state, that is a state under the total control of the USA and its vassals, are willing to commit any crime to do it, and who care nothing for the lives of those they destroy.
What were the Nazis in Germany but the armed, violent fist of German capital, intent on wiping out socialism, the rights of labour, of dominating and exploiting the world, who are expert at creating division among peoples, of using bigotry and prejudice for their ends as the Nazis did with the Jews and others. They too drew on the forces of fascism from all the dark corners of Europe and the world to support their aggression and crimes.

Clearly there has been one continuous, obsessed effort to colonise the voice and undermine the democracies of the west. This report reveals the results of decades of subversive effort to manufacture consent.

the kubrick/clarke reference for 2001 was to the little girl. something else must happen beyond people bashing each other long, long before space travel can occur. as awful as my parents often were, that wasn’t the whole story.
it takes an extraordinary amount of education and civilization to even theorize conflict as the sole or primary motive force of history, i.e. lots of something else going on, too. there’s a dialectic of forces at play, eros and eris, love and strife, unity and disunity. (this is not a comment against Marx, who was influenced by the Epicurean tradition.)
“the pleasure for which we should work in life is real, and it is not “painlessness” or “virtue” or any other attempt to replace the guidance that nature gives us.” from a comment on Lucretius’ Hymn to Venus, opening the DRN.

that 10000 ships were launched from Nantucket to slaughter whales is not even questioned. no questioning the protestant work ethic. but a “face that launched 1000 ships” all agree is a total fantasy. and why? b/c one is true or false? no. cuz peoples’ values are totally fucked up. beauty, play, music, love, art, etc., mean nothing compared to the competitive striving that has brought about all good in the world. “the love of love and soft hours” (Antony and Cleopatra) contributes nothing.

Workers aristocracy:
New York Times’ Star Reporters Push Back Against Union: A contingent of Times journos, including many Pulitzer winners, has stood in opposition to the NewsGuild’s proposed dues hike.

Last month, the NewsGuild of New York—the media union that counts staffers at the Times, Reuters, BuzzFeed News, The Daily Beast, and numerous other outlets among its members—announced plans to hold an election to raise member dues. The union painted a dire picture: Members needed to vote to approve a dues increase in order to avert a possible financial catastrophe that would include a reduction in NewsGuild services, including staffing, legal support, and new organizing drives.
The proposal, which would require an increase of dues from 1.3846 percent to 1.75 percent, and end the cap on dues for those making more than $140,000 per year, sparked dissension from dozens of top members from the Times, who have joined together with some Guild members from Reuters. This group has sought advice from prominent labor attorney Arthur Schwartz to explore their options in opposing the increase.
A contingent of more than 100 New York Times staffers signed a letter to the union opposing its proposals for raising cash. That petition, which has been shared widely in media circles, included the signatures of the newspaper’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists including Maggie Haberman, Jodi Kantor, Megan Twohey, Matthew Rosenberg, Emily Steel, William Rashbaum, Mark Mazetti, David Sanger, Michael Rothfeld, Eric Lipton, Mike McIntire, Michael Shear, Michael Paulson, Wesley Morris, Sharon LaFraniere, Steve Eder, and Adam Goldman, as well as other star reporters like Jonathan Mahler, Katie Rosman, Ben Protess, Kenneth Vogel, Rebecca Ruiz, Jonathan Martin, Mark Leibovich, Kim Barker, Cecilia Kang, Nellie Bowles, Trip Gabriel, and several journalists from Reuters.

It’s though to be pro-union when you’re generously overpaid to think like a petty bourgeois.

Meet the new psychopathic monster, Naftali Bennett:
In 2013, Bennett sparked controversy when it was reported that during a cabinet meeting on releasing Palestinian prisoners he declared: “If we capture terrorists, we need to just kill them… I’ve already killed a lot of Arabs in my life – and there is no problem with that.” Asked for clarification by journalists, a spokesperson said Bennett meant Israeli soldiers should be ordered to kill Palestinians instead of capturing and imprisoning them.

In response to my sending the link in my comment # 106 out to “friends and family” I got the following response

Complete and absolute rubbish, but a masterful twisting and commingling of actual research and the notion the mRNA vaccines are the same as the spike protein. So much so it borders on criminal misinformation.
You can be sure anything coming from RFK Jr‘s network regarding vaccines is entirely bogus if not criminal.

Any MoA barflies respond to this and the link in comment 106?

google translation of the 9. Discussion and conclusion
“the Bio-Distribution Study” [referred to by Dr. Bridle]:
9. Discussion and conclusion
Plasma and liver ALC-0315 levels were highest in rat PK studies by 2 weeks post-dose
It is reduced to about 1/7000 and about 1/4, respectively, and the ALC-0159 concentration is about 1/8000, respectively.
And reduced to about 1/250. t½ is comparable in plasma and liver, ALC-0315 is 6-8 days,
ALC-0159 took 2-3 days. The plasma t½ value is that each lipid is distributed in the tissue as LNP.
After that, it is considered to indicate that it was redistributed in plasma during the disappearance process.
Little unchanged form of ALC-0315 was detected in either urine or feces, but in the rat PK study
Monoester metabolites, double deesterified metabolites and 6-hexy from fecal and plasma samples collected in
Ludecanoic acid was detected in urine, and a glucuronic acid conjugate, a double deesterified metabolite, was detected in urine. This metabolism
The process is thought to be the major disappearance mechanism of ALC-0315, but quantitative data have been obtained to test this hypothesis.
Absent. On the other hand, about 50% of the dose of ALC-0159 was excreted in feces as unchanged drug. In vitro metabolism experiment
In, it was slowly metabolized by hydrolysis of the amide bond.
Since the in vivo expression distribution of the antigen encoded by BNT162b2 is considered to depend on the LNP distribution,
Intramuscularly administered luciferase RNA-encapsulated LNP to BALB / c mice as an alternative reporter protein
The biodistribution was examined. As a result, expression of luciferase was observed at the administration site, and more than that.
Although the expression level was low, it was also observed in the liver. Expression at the administration site of luciferase is post-administration
It was observed from 6 hours and disappeared 9 days after administration. Expression in the liver was observed from 6 hours after administration, and it was administered.
It disappeared by 48 hours after giving. Locally administered luciferase RNA-encapsulated LNP circulates in the liver
It was considered to indicate that it reached the ring blood and was taken up by the liver. Also, Luciferer on rats
When the radioactivity-labeled body of ZeRNA-encapsulated LNP was intramuscularly administered, the radioactivity concentration was the highest at the administration site.
Indicated. Other than the site of administration, it was highest in the liver, followed by the spleen, adrenal glands and ovaries.
Total radioactivity recovery for doses in these tissues was significantly lower than in the liver. This result is
This was consistent with the expression of luciferase in the liver in the mouse biodistribution test. In addition, it should be noted.
No toxic findings indicating liver damage were found in the rat repeated-dose toxicity test (M2.6.6.3).
From the above nonclinical pharmacokinetic evaluation, it was shown that LNP that reached the circulating blood is distributed in the liver.
In addition, metabolism and fecal excretion may be involved in the disappearance of ALC-0315 and ALC-0159, respectively.
It was suggested.

@118 psychohistorian
Your friends and family are disparaging the Kennedy site – I’ve read many groundbreaking and investigative pieces there. I rate the site and RFK himself very highly. He takes on the bad players all the time, and he seems to care about the victims. I trust him enough to read his claims and evaluate for myself.
If all you’re getting from your friends and family is badmouthing without any real data, I’m afraid it’s brainwashing.
I would short your friends and family.
~~
What’s clear from the Japanese study is that the spike protein (which as far as I understand, the mRNA treatment generates, and which is in itself the bad actor in this whole virus action) moves from the injection site (muscle) into the blood (a huge disaster). It ends up, from pogohere’s own transcription @116, “… highest in the liver, followed by the spleen, adrenal glands and ovaries.”
This was what RFK’s author was saying – she was especially concerned about the ovaries. The RFK piece seems one with all the other brave-doctor pieces we’re seeing.
If it should breach the blood-brain barrier, it could damage the brain. And injecting this unknown into pregnant women is homicidal, because that barrier is not fully formed in the developing person in the womb – per Peter McCullough.
So no, this is not leaving the system in 48 hours – that’s not how I’m reading this. As for long term effects – we haven’t had a long term yet to know anything. But short term, we’ve had serious bad effects such as death within the following 24-48 hours. It’s the patient who’s leaving the system, I’m afraid.
Over 10,000 deaths have occurred from these experimental “vaccines” globally, and Pfizer has the highest count.
By contrast, the Russian Sputnik V is a traditional vaccine, and has zero deaths. Zero. Zero. Zero. As Pierre Kory says, with any new vaccine, 20 deaths would be enough to shut down the entire program. But profit for Pharma is driving this show, and the propaganda, and I think your family is infected with both.
And note how the language of this story is saying things like “We assumed the vaccination would remain in the site of injection, because that’s what vaccinations do.” We assumed. And now we see that assumption was dead wrong.
Jesus fucking Christ – this shit is a killer and god knows what else in terms of destroying in the long term, and your friends and family think RFK is scaremongering.
~~
Sorry to rant. I care about the integrity of your knowledge, and the integrity of your life. Sorry about your family and friends. We all have the same experience.

I can’t advise you about the meaning of the research other than it presents data that there is biodistribution of the vaccine ingredients that apparently was not intended.
There is a reason why vaccines usually undergo 10+ years of development and testing before deemed safe enough for use: the complexity is unending.

It’s not just about Covid
“…the broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug IVM, which is widely used in the field of parasitic control, has many advantages that suggest that it is worth developing as a potential new anticancer drug. IVM selectively inhibits the proliferation of tumors at a dose that is not toxic to normal cells and can reverse the MDR of tumors.
Importantly, IVM is an established drug used for the treatment of parasitic diseases such as river blindness and elephantiasis. It has been widely used in humans for many years, and its various pharmacological properties, including long- and short-term toxicological effects and drug metabolism characteristics are very clear … Existing research is sufficient to demonstrate the great potential of IVM and its prospects as a novel promising anticancer drug after additional research. We believe that IVM can be further developed and introduced clinically as part of new cancer treatments in the near future.”

What is the problem with empires – they think that they are so powerful that they can afford small errors and mistakes. We will buy these, we will scare those, we will come to an agreement with these, we will give beads to those, we will threaten them with warships. And that will solve the problem. But the number of problems is growing. There comes a time when you can no longer cope with them.

Consider your relatives responses as being religious in motivation.
Is vax the new religion? Have you inadvertently blasphemed the deity of vax?
The Christian Science Monitor takes a thoughtful peek at the possibility that politics is a new religion.

“This was probably the most patriotic day of my life,” says Mandy (not her real name), who asks to remain anonymous so as not to risk her job. With a Facebook page that’s a hub of pro-Trump connections, she says she’s traveled to 21 rallies for now-former President Donald Trump since 2016. “I go for the people as much as I do for Trump.”
Similar stories of secular communion have given rise to a theory that has gotten considerable attention of late: that for many Americans, politics has become a quasi-religion – especially as participation in actual, organized religion has plummeted. Indeed, Mandy says she believes in God, and grew up Southern Baptist, but is not currently a churchgoer.
The United States has long been known for what some sociologists call “civil religion” – a shared, nonsectarian faith centered on the flag, the nation’s founding documents, and God. But the God factor is waning, as so-called nones – atheists, agnostics, and those who self-identify as “nothing in particular” – have risen to one-third of the U.S. population, according to a major 2020 survey out of Harvard University.

This is one of the most irksome possibilities that gives me to believe that there is limited chance of escape or even transcending the captive state of USAian minds. The propaganda media just lead the people from one faith of the moment to the next and until that ‘blowing of horns’ drowning out small voices is stopped, there can be no escape. The noise and insistent driving out of heresy is the ‘god given right’ of the corporate media.
Your relatives have joined in the blowing of horns and they cannot tolerate the wisdom of your voice.
There is no place for religion exercised in this fashion in any nation on this earth. It is a crime against humanity to colonise the rights of people to to think freely. The sooner the people of the world make it a crime for these religious and pseudo religious leaders to behave this way, the better for humanity.

We are now up to $123 million shoveled to Peter Daszak and his supposed EcoHealth Alliance. Again, that is just the money we know of. And while it is coming from HHS and NIAID and other pockets the big sum is from Pentagon and it all seems to be bioweapon research. At top of thread the number was a mere 600,000. Where there is smoke there is fire. When someone tells you there is no smoke and logically there cannot be a fire, and your house is burning down, just ignore that person. And stop feeding the troll.
Daszak himself reports that he is British/Ukrainian. How many times do we need to be warned of Ukrainians? Especially Ukrainians that get in bed with fascists.

Just out of curiosity, I visited the USA’s censi since 1950. To my astonishment, the USA had just 150 million people in 1950.
It then started to grow at staggering, jaw dropping rates at regular intervals until reaching 330 million in 2020. I don’t think this has any parallel in History, save maybe to during the rise of the Roman Empire during the time of Augustus.

Posted by: vk | Jun 3 2021 16:48 utc | 13

You’re right. It has no parallel. While US was increasing its 1950 population by a factor of 2.2 over 70 years the population of the rest of the world was increasing by 3x+ including Oz which went from 8 million to 25.5 million. If the world population had grown at the same rate as the US there would now be only 5.6 billion, a lot fewer than the current 7.7+ billion.

And for those companies in the American Midwest or northern England that complained for years about being undercut by China, the idea that Beijing finds itself contending with climbing costs and rust belts of its own might be met with some degree of schadenfreude.

This assumes China is a capitalist country, therefore susceptible to the “middle income trap”. The proof will be in the pudding.

[VIDEO] Revisiting Edgar Snow’s “red town”

— American journalist Edgar Snow devoted nearly a third of his classic “Red Star Over China” to Yuwang, what is today known as Tongxin County in northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The book gave a rare and detailed account of the Chinese revolution in the 1930s.
— In the book, Snow was deeply impressed by disciplined Red Army soldiers as well as their respect for the customs of the local Muslims.
— As the Communist Party of China embraces its centenary this year, more than 380,000 residents in the county are also celebrating their farewell to absolute poverty and a promising future of prosperity.

Misguiding U.S. reports on COVID-19 origin sourcing hurt U.S. credibility

The so-called “lab leak theory” recently fabricated by the U.S. is just lame. It followed the same old trick in which certain media outlets published biased reports and then some politicians hyped them up.
However, such “comedy duo,” which has been frequently staged, further revealed the ugly intention of the White House to politicize the pandemic and stigmatize other countries.
A Wall Street Journal report published on May 23 is culpable for the resurgent “lab leak theory.” The report takes “a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report” as its only source and is all about “intelligence,” inducing the readers to put the blame of “lab leak” on China. However, it offers barely any fact and employs abundant uncertain statements, which exposed a lack of confidence in its arguments.

What I do believe is that this is a shit show that did not have to unfold this way and has been manipulated to cover more financial rape of the US public as well as seemingly obvious manipulation of the health care system for financial outcomes over health outcomes…….China managed to not have the deaths in the West even without Ivermectin, which is now shown to be an effective treatment.
Until and unless society stops marching to the beat of the global private finance drummer, the shit show will continue. Thankfully, there are now nations standing up to the social cancer of global private finance and it would seem we are watching a civilization war over this issue.

Thanks for supplying that quote! I finally found one source that relayed it, a Global Times foreign policy article that expanded on the “Soviet” theme. At the beginning of Trump’s reign, I wrote that the Outlaw US Empire’s policy was being driven into a box canyon; that eventually there’d be no way out of the trap it laid for itself. And Biden’s continuing that same policy direction, although I’m thinking of using a different analogy–trying to paddle a canoe up Niagara Falls–since it’s possible to climb up the sides of the box canyon and escape, but there’s no escaping disaster at the Falls.
I wonder which European nation will be the first to see it must break free of the NATO/EU strangle hold? The Greeks had an opportunity but failed miserably.

Here is some important information on the crackpot prime minister of Australia, Pastor Morrison, and how his dangerous delusions impact Australian foreign policy decisions and Australia’s reputation:

Perhaps it would be more simple for Australia to denounce the Geneva Convention, as the opt out mechanism contained within the conventions allows. That would end the hypocrisy and double standards.

In 1913, Charles A. Beard’s famous book, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States, was published. He also had designs to write a similar work about the economic reasons for the Declaration of Independence where there’s plenty of evidence to support the thesis that it was made to free Colonial Merchants/Business from primarily Crown but also Parliamentary interference/hindrances to making money. Bernard Bailyn wrote The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution where much of the thought regarding freedom was brought by those transported to the Colonies after the English Civil War and the turmoil wrought by the War of Spanish Succession, which was fought globally. The Royal Monopolies were massive restraints on trade, as were numerous Acts of Parliament, and then the Tyranny that arose with Enclosure still existed, which the majority of Colonists knew personally. There’s much truth behind Turner’s Frontier Thesis being a “safety valve” as those deemed social misfits could move West and discover Nature’s Freedom. Many became unwitting actors in the nascent US Empire’s expansion as DeVoto detailed in The Course of Empire and Across the Wide Missouri.
What eventually eased the class structure of the early USA was provided by seizing Native Land, which was one of the great motivators for the Revolution. Further turmoil between Europe’s Empires fueled immigration and provided the basis for a widespread Farmers Class of freeholders, not Serfs, who chose not to try and compete with slave-labor-powered Plantations.

TASS reports highlights of Putin’s “statements” given to 14 heads “of world news agencies” in an SPIEF sidelines encounter arranged by TASS. Putin’s most important, frank comment was the Outlaw US Empire following the USSR’s path down the tubes. The full transcript hasn’t been produced at the kremlin’s website yet; I await it as I suspect there’s some important subtleties that were overlooked. The remark I found the most important was this:
“Role of the pandemic
“I wish with all my heart that the trials we faced last year would inspire us to work closer with each other, to finally get rid of politically motivated restrictions, especially at times when we need to join forces for the benefit of the people, in the name of their lives and health.”
Again, Putin speaks of the importance of people coming first, something no Neoliberal leader can honestly utter.

Putin was refreshingly open and plain speaking in his televised RT interview with the Financial Times.
I now have no doubt why Biden refused Putin’s offer of an unscripted and live TV debate for the world to see.
This clearly demonstrates the shallow intellectual capacity of today’s yes men, corporate suits, neo-cons, exceptionalists, front men and neoliberals to mount a credible justification for their words and deeds either at home or on the world stage.

SARS1/SARS2 aka covid
So many similarities..
1] gringos collecting Chinese DNA before the outbreak
2] bio warfare used as political /economical tool, per PNAC
http://www.whale.to/v/sars1.html
3] Massive predictive programming prior to attack
4] Same geopolitical background…

It seems suspiciously convenient that the travel industry, and Asian travel in particular, would be the greatest victims at a time when globalists (i.e., global industrialists including members of the ultra-rich) have directed military and political policies consistent with the RMA and “conflicts short of war” agenda. Reducing travel helps to secure wide ranging RMA objectives.
……………
How convenient that Asia, and China in particular, is said to be the origin of this North American scourge at a time when Chinese-Anglo-American relations are strained to say the least.
In the days preceding the emergence of the first covid cases, American raced to the Pacific Rim to impact escalating aggressions on SCS, TW. Communist China-a “most favored” trading partner with America, is politically allied with several American enemies, including those said to possess weapons of mass destruction, including Iran
. Coincidental? Not likely when viewing the larger political picture involving the Ango-American oligarchy’s RMA and instigated “conflicts short of war.”
Ultimately, “We the People” have become the greatest victims of this latest fright, and the larger political agendas it serves.

http://whale.to/a/sars2.htm
5] Murder of microbiologists…

In lectures throughout 2002 FTW Editor Mike Ruppert was questioned as to possible motives to explain the untimely deaths of so many microbiologists with experience in DNA sequencing, communicable diseases and biowarfare. Ruppert’s answers focused on two possible motives. Scientists would have been able to deconstruct the disease agent and thus determine its origin as a manmade disease. This would have led to efforts to determine the laboratory and/or microbiologists who might have contributed a small portion in a highly compartmentalized operation in the development of a virulent, new disease. There would be a strong likelihood that any one of the participating microbiologists would have recognized their own work and come forward, exposing the deliberate creation of the organism. This scenario presents a motive in keeping with the ISIS article as detailed at the beginning of this report. Ruppert has consistently favored this scenario.
A second motive explaining the untimely deaths of these microbiologists lies in the search for a SARS cure. If the disease agent was intended as a bioweapon to kill several billion people, a quick cure would not be tolerated. Had the microbiologists not met with untimely deaths, their specialties in microbiology might have qualified them to effectuate a quick cure, something obviously unwanted by the disease’s creators.

Canuck Frank PLummer ,
murdered in Africa
Chinese scientist at the verge of covid breakthrough murdered in US, his ‘murderer’ was suicided.
Charles Lieber, who had patent in virus detection , locked up for months on treason charge, now we heard he’s terminal cancer !
PS
is covid aka SARS2 the BIG ONE mentioned by Horowitcz and Ruppert ?

@142 psychohistorian
Well if they’re beating you up, all I can suggest is this article that I believe was linked earlier in this thread. Now that I’ve read it I can totally recommend it:
Costly Tradeoff with the Wait for the Vaccine Pandemic Strategy
The author has numerous links, every one of them gold as far as I can see, including Dr. McCullough’s testimony to the Senate committee – it has great transcribed excerpts and the whole clip is only 20 minutes.
You could do worse than to bookmark each article and website that he links to in this one article, and perhaps challenge your friends to read some or all of them, but certainly read them all yourself until you do feel persuaded as to what is true and what is not.
~~
What we’re beginning finally to see now is clear context for everything we’ve gone through in the last year and a half. McCullough’s latest interview and Dr. Pierre Kory’s interview – both linked in this or some other recent thread – are part of recapping the timeline of events and narrative decisions made, so that we can see the fuller story.
The truth is climbing out of the rubble.
This article I linked above does a fine job of showing the actual strategy behind the misery – namely, to wait for the vaccine and to suppress all information and practice of early treatment – treatment which worked then, over a year ago, and that works today.
A great crime has happened, and the simple recital of facts, many of which we all experienced, makes a totally compelling explanation of the hit we all just took.
We are now fortunately coming into a time when the truth is so clear and the story so coherent – and the facts so undeniable – that reality itself can now be used as a measure of how far someone’s mind is gone into the narrative warp. And of course, at the point of too far gone into that warp, nothing can be done except to pray for those people and walk away from discussion.
I wish you good fortune with your people.

Thank you for the link to the trial site news report. So far Fauci and his equivalents in other obedient five eye nations have escaped the wrath. They all sing in tune, such is the perverted ‘solidarity’ of this gang.
I have been astounded at the gross professional ignorance and obedience within the medical profession. This has only just become obvious to me as one who has had the great good fortune to have received the lifelong advice and ministrations from a truly remarkable Doctor. He was a heretic practitioner and proudly so.
Since his passing I have had to rely on self healing and research plus the occasional visit to doctor or surgeon for remedial services. What a sorry tale that ‘my doctor’ is too rigid to even give me a prescription for Ivermectin for emergency or prophylactic use. There is no excuse. There is obedience. This is a doctor who had not heard of Dr Borody in the same country!! Disgrace.
A blinkered and narrow profession so no surprise that my original Doctor had little time for them.
