The Covid disaster

“ On Thursday, the FDA granted emergency-use authorization for Merck’s molnupiravir to treat covid-19. This approval is significant not because molnupiravir is an especially good drug, but because it is a rather ineffective and dangerous one.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/12/24/merck-molnupiravir-antiviral-covid-fda/

On another note it was announced in Quebec that booster shots for those over seventy who have had COVID are no longer recommended, given the number and severity of adverse events being witnessed.

Vaccines don’t work as promised but western “democracies” are bend on mandating more vaccinations, more restrictions more insanity.

From March 20
“We all want things to go back to normal quickly. But what most of us have probably not yet realized—yet will soon—is that things won’t go back to normal after a few weeks, or even a few months. Some things never will.”

China may or may not like the Saudis, but they certainly do not want the Arabian peninsula to descend into war. So they are likely all right with the Sauds having the means to defend themselves, which they are lacking in at the moment despite all the money spent. The Russians at the moment are trying to keep Iran and the Saudis talking for the same reason. Real peace will almost certainly lead to reform there anyway.

We've heard from Mr. Putin yet again and "Silent Night" from those to whom he directs his comments.

History will view this past week as the great "no-reply". Isn't silence wonderful when you carry a big stick? Crazy as it may sound, the cards people have in their hand may soon be revealed. War is very much on the "table." Wherever the fuck that famous table is.

The United States has itself in a very bad way if it believes "others" will be the only ones to suffer. The U.S. is already suffering. Every fucking day the inner cities suffer. Count the fucking killings. It's off the charts. Antiwar.com does a great job of tracking Iraqi deaths in their daily roundup:

(https://original.antiwar.com/updates/2021/12/23/iraq-daily-roundup-eight-killed-11/)

Maybe someone should start to document all of the out of control personal violence that occurs in multiple cities throughout the U.S. every day. It has nothing to do with terrorism or politics or foreign policy. It is all a product of the U.S. itself. The Russians aren't handing out guns to U.S. teenagers for them to roam the streets in search of victims. No, it's thirteen year olds doing it from home through mail order to make a little bread on the sly.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/12/03/13-year-old-ghost-gun-trafficker/

I wrote a while back "the U.S. just took one up the gut." I believe December 2021 will be seen as the apex threshold for U.S. dominance globally. From a spiritual consideration, the U.S. is shot, spiritually spent. There is no moral justification for its actions. Open hostility and indifference. Those are not the kind of qualities a nation or people should be proud of. Yet once again in a few hours the nation's people will rise and stand for the playing of the national anthem. And forget entirely for the next four hours all their cares and feelings except for what happens to their favorite sports team. Then they'll all go home to talk about it until they do it all over again next weekend. Pretty sad reality when one thinks about it.

I've said what I've had to say.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Hope and pray
we can stay
out of harm's way.

Peace.

Long-term persistence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein: evidence and implications

Abstract>: This paper discusses the recent study by Bansal et al. [1] on the detection of spike protein in persons vaccinated with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. The most significant finding is that spike protein is found on exosomes, that is, cell-derived vesicles, for at least four months after the second injection. This surprisingly long persistence raises the prospect of sustained inflammation within and damage to organs which express the spike protein.

The Dangers of Booster Shots and COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’: Boosting Blood Clots and Leaky Vessels

We explain here that booster shots are uniquely dangerous, in a way that is unprecedented in the history of vaccines. That is because repeatedly boosting the immune response will repeatedly boost the intensity of self-to-self attack.

Interesting read by Engdahl

Amid the 2020 global covid lockdowns and economic dislocations it has caused, Klaus Schwab, a previously low-profile founder of a Swiss-based business forum, emerged on the world stage calling for what he called a Great Reset of the entire world economy, using the pandemic as driver. He even published a book in July 2020 outlining his blueprint. It has been rightly called a technocratic society with global top-down central planning.

Schwab uses global warming fears and the plight of the world’s poor to justify what is in effect a plan for global totalitarianism where, as the Davos website puts it, nobody will own anything. What is not well-known is the fact that the inspiration for Schwab’s dystopian plans comes from a Catholic bishop whom he met in Brazil in the 1970’s. That bishop links Schwab’s vast globalist network with the powerful political influence of the present Pope Francis.

According to figures released by the UK government via the Office for National Statistics, people who are triple vaxxed are 4.5 times more likely to test positive for Omicron than those who are unvaccinated.

The numbers also illustrate how the double-vaccinated are 2.3 times more likely to be infected with Omicron than those who haven’t taken any jabs

New figures out of England show that 65% of people described as ‘COVID patients’ only tested positive for COVID after being admitted to hospital for something else.

Citing official government statistics, the numbers are contained in a report by MailOnline’s Senior Health Reporter.

“In the two weeks to December 21, hospitals in England recorded 563 new coronavirus inpatients – the majority of which are believed to be Omicron now that the variant is the country’s dominant stain.”

“But just 197 (35%) were being primarily treated for Covid, with the remaining 366 (65%) only testing positive after being admitted for something else.”

“ The Quebec government had to stop giving boosters to elders who had received two doses of the COVID vaccine and previously had COVID due to severe, life-threatening side effects.

The province’s immunization committee initially recommended that elders who had COVID in the past and who also received both doses of a COVID vaccine be given a booster shot.

However, elders in that category reacted very poorly to the booster. Many patients developed a fever after receiving their third dose.

They lost appetite, became physically weak, tired and lethargic, Le Devoir reported.

In more severe cases, the booster dose caused the patients difficulties in breathing and lowering oxygen levels.

Some elders also became delirious after receiving the injection. ”

__________________________________________________________________________

This is just another example of internet storytellers presenting a false story based on false interpretation of data.

The data from the UK Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey is comparing the probability of getting omicron compared to previous (Delta) versions.
The data says nothing at all about the likelihood of getting omicron if you are vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Presumably the Office for National Statistics could collect good data on whether there is currently a benefit from the vaccines against Omicron, but they haven't done that which is certainly something for which they should be criticized.

Ritter might be wrong on two things:

2. I doubt Russia would deploy hypersonics in Cuba or Venezuela. It would violate its own stated ultimatums, and drag those countries into conflicts they don't need. Russian subs off the US coasts would be sufficient, no?

Report: Jake Sullivan Reassures Israel US Willing to Take Harder Line on Iran

Sullivan reportedly laid out three scenarios to the Israeli officials:
1 A deal is reached within the next few weeks, and the JCPOA is revived, which Sullivan doubts will happen.
2 A “freeze for freeze” agreement that would give Iran some sanctions relief in exchange for freezing certain aspects of its nuclear program
3 Negotiations fail and the US implements new sanctions and other pressure on Iran

It’s difficult to comprehend exactly what the American foreign policy people think they are doing re: Iran and JCPOA. Israel’s maximalist position leads directly to a military conflict as, according to the Israeli logic, Iran’s leaders are committed to a nuclear arsenal and negotiation cannot forestall such event. Accepting this logic requires regime change in Teheran. If the Americans have not committed to this position, then why not just restore the JCPOA and remove a slow-boiling crisis from the table to concentrate on other matters? Why play lip-service to a “military option” if it is obvious that such will never be engaged because it will result in the equal destruction of Israel? Granted there is a domestic political concern, with the out-sized influence of Israel on particularly Congress, but the maximalist logic of “pressure” leads to the certain existential destruction of Israel, while the JCPOA doesn’t - so the inability of the Biden foreign policy team to just make the right decision and move forward strongly suggests the US system is fully dysfunctional.

And now for something completely different...positive news:

The Webb Telescope successfully launch from French Gianna yesterday, the radio antenna that performs data down-links successfully deployed, the vehicle is approximately 80,000 miles from earth on it's journey to it's Lagrange point 1.5 million miles from earth. Great work by NASA/ESA/CSA !!!

For the few commenters from "the US empire must be ground to dust...nothing to remain" school, Russia, as it has since the Moon landing, congratulated NASA for it's Webb mission progress.

Point being, Russia/USSR/Russia has ALWAYS recognized that there are significant portions of western society are worthy of respect, emulation and preservation. Indeed, if we would only respect/return to our earlier, not so long ago incarnation...while incorporating the civil rights made in the last hundred years..we'd be in a strong position to forge boldly into the future.

I think the major problem with the Israel-Iran situation, is that Israel wants to be the "centre" of that part of the middle East. A position that Iran usually occupies.

JCPOA is a power play for influence. The original problem of Nuclear weapons is rapidly become one of ostensibly non-nuclear countries actually having them. ie Saudi Arabia wants to make them too. Several countries will have them stationed on their territory, (Turkey) as do most of the European countries. Germany, Italy, Belgium etc.) Again supposedly under US command.

Since the US supplies arms to Israel "on demand", there is no reason to think that they would hesitate to give them whatever they demand, refueling tankers and aircraft included. Israel already has more nukes than it knows what to do with.

No worries.

This is a paragraph in the FT. about Fauci. But here are the "French" statistics quoted;-

"Much will depend on whether French hospitals can cope with higher admissions over the Christmas period and afterwards. Its hospitals have been under pressure from staff shortages and absenteeism even before the full impact of the Omicron variant had been felt. Deaths reached 1,031 in the past week — a level not seen since last April — to take the overall death toll to more than 122,500."
How can I compare this with other information that says Germany had one death in six weeks and the UK had 14 in four weeks from Covid?

(Clear fear mongering by referring to two different calculations and mixing different variants)

For instance, you just posted data from Ontario that clearly shows that 9% of that population there is unvaccinated and yet 74% of the ICU beds are filled with unvaccinated cases.

you write. "robert kennedy's wife doesn't even believe her husband's b.s. why? b/c he clearly doesn't believe it himself. it's a scam.

Seriously? Have you ever even listened to Kennedy? There is a reason why his book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health is number 1 on Amazon. Because it is thoroughly researched and exposes the incredible corruption behind the entire public health establishment that Fauci directs.

Listen to Robert Kennedy Jr. on The War Room: US Intelligence Agencies and Military Were Involved With The Wuhan Lab Research.

STEVE BANNON: Hang on . . . we [the US] had signed a treaty that said we were out of that [bioweapons] business, [which is] one of the big controversies about the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] and how they've gotten involved in this. Give me the fact that backs up the fact that the CIA, maybe even the Pentagon, over and above or outside the treaty we signed . . . we were only supposed to have bioweapons defense, but not an offensive capability. Why do you say they've been developing bioweapons?

ROBERT F KENNEDY: Well what happened was the CIA was doing it secretly even after the treaty, right up until 1999. And you know, I'm getting ahead of myself, but the CIA through USAID was the biggest funder, even bigger than Tony Fauci, of the gain-of-function studies in Wuhan, the Pentagon was second, Tony Fauci was third.

Initially the Pentagon – after the anthrax attacks, during 9/11 – the Pentagon wanted to get back into bioweapons research. But as you just pointed out, it was illegal to do offensive research. You could only do defensive research. And what does that mean – it means vaccine development.

But a lot of defensive research – the same experiments that you used to develop vaccines are the same experiments that you use to develop bioweapons. The Pentagon wanted to start doing bioweapons, but they did not think that they could sell it to the world that “we are just developing vaccines”, that the Pentagon is now putting all this money into vaccines.

So, instead the Pentagon funneled the money, beginning in 2001, through Tony Fauci – $1.7 billion a year. Now it’s $2.2 billion. They also gave Fauci a 68% raise [that was] attached to his bioweapons research. That’s one of the reasons why he had to continue to do this gain of function research even when Obama told him to stop in 2014.

He [Fauci] didn’t stop [bioweapons research]. He continued developing the worst of those [diseases] you know with that technology, that gain-of-function technology at the University of North Carolina. And [he did that] secretly and illegally.

What happened that year was that three of his bugs [viruses] escaped [from the lab] and 300 leading scientists around the globe then wrote a letter to Obama saying you have got to stop Tony Fauci from developing these, from playing these games of “souping up” these pandemic viruses, because if one of them escapes, the trajectory would be uncontrollable. And so, Obama passed the moratorium.

Fauci immediately began violating the moratorium by continuing to fund the worst of the these [experiments to make disease more lethal] by Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina. He [Fauci] also moved a lot of those studies offshore. And to take his fingerprints off them, he laundered the money through this bioweapons grifter called Peter Daszak and his little group EcoHealth Alliance, who would distribute the money to the Chinese scientists at the [Wuhan] lab.

The Chinese, from 2013, published a paper, which is talked about in my book, where they said – they were right just open about it – saying “we are making weapons, we're not pretending to make vaccines, we are making weapons”. Tony Fauci was teaching them how to do that.

But worst of all – and this puts the lie that everything he says about “oh, we were just trying to make vaccines” – he [Fauci] funded Ralph Baric to develop a system called the “Seamless Ligation System”, which is a system, a technology, for hiding the evidence of engineering on the these Coronaviruses.

So, what they do is they take a bat Coronavirus that will only affect bats. They remove the Spike Protein and they hook in, they implant a Spike Protein that they construct out of amino acids, so that it will affect human beings. And they test it on humanized mice, these mice that have human lungs. And if they can get the mouse not only to get infected, but then to cough and spread the infection without engineering, that’s a success story for them.

But Ralph Baric, with funding from Tony Fauci, developed the system for hiding the evidence of engineering. If you were really interested in public health, you would want to do the opposite of that.

You would want to put a red flag on it that said, “This is human-made, we made this – don't let it go anywhere.” That’s not what they were doing. They were weaponizing it [the Coronavirus], by making it so that it could not be traced back to whoever dropped it on the world.

Baric, with funding from Fauci, then taught that technology which he called the “no-see-um” technology to Zheng-Li Shi, the Chinese scientist who was running that lab under the control of the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] and the People’s Liberation Army. who were her bosses.

She developed – she was taught how to use that technology – she perfected it, and then she stopped publishing in 2018 and 2019. We know she was still doing those studies; she stopped publishing about them, which is very, very suspicious – because sometime in that period was almost certainly the time that they took this one Coronavirus that they had discovered in a Mojiang cave in Wuhan province that had killed a whole bunch of minors there.

The miners got Coronavirus from that particular one [variety of Coronavirus]; they got it from the bats, but they were not spreading it in their homes, so it could not spread human to human at that point.

And it appears that Zheng-Li Shi and Peter Daszak took that Coronavirus and enabled it to infect human beings through respiratory droplets.

And those were on the studies that Tony Fauci funded.

Did anyone read the number one book in the US RFK Jr.’s “The Real Dr. Fauci” ? Im wondering what B thinks. I haven’t read it yet but I’ve listen to a lot of RFK interviews. Seems like it may be a much needed wake up call for this blog, as this blog while skeptical of almost every other government /MSM narrative seems to tow the line for fhe Covid/ vax passport narrative hook line and sinker, while the comments sections regularly asks the obvious questions. At the very least could B admit that vaccine children is insane as they aren’t effected by the virus?

I am reading it. I just finished Chapter 2. Thus far I've gone through the "asassination of HCQ and vilification of IVM" and "suppression of myocarditis, kidney failure, and other debilitating effects of the Pfizer, Moderna, AZ, and J&J vaccines.

A WSJ reporter stationed in Seoul got a Moderna booster shot. He was vaccinated with another product. Next day he died of heart failure.

I know personally whereof the matters elucidated in Kennedy's book. He is spot on. The book's assertions are documented with the source(s) for them. The end notes have chapter and verse complete, searchable references for each and every one of them.

Everyone should read this book... in it's entirety.... your lives and those of your loved ones, will depend upon your informed judgement in the matters covered.

Anyone crabbing with lame excuses.... should be shot.

Piotr,

I never learned to type properly, back then, we learned on manual typewriters, no electricity, no screen, no spellcheck...back when cut and paste meant, literally cutting and pasting the paper. Hence, I spend too much time looking at the keyboard and tend to leave words/text out when writing extemporaneously.

My "run-on" sentence should've been

"The great silence" is crickets on the faux alt media regarding the fact that Russia has signed an agreement with NATO. This was pointed out by NATO -- so not "silent" -- and frankly while not being a fan of Anglo Empire, it is an agreement that was signed and not some he-said/she-said about Gorby and promises made, and Russia signed the agreement that permits European nations to deter

Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation signed in Paris, France

https://www.nato.int/cps/su/natohq/official_texts_25468.htm

Is Russia "agreement incapable"?

Signed on to: "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security, the inviolability of borders and peoples' right of self-determination as enshrined in the Helsinki Final Act and other OSCE documents;"

Signed on to: "refraining from the threat or use of force against each other as well as against any other state, its sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence in any manner inconsistent with the United Nations Charter and with the Declaration of Principles Guiding Relations Between Participating States contained in the Helsinki Final Act;"

And this week Russia has been threatening use of force to get its "sphere of influence". Now "spheres of influence" are not a part of "international law" that the exalted FM and the glorious leader of Russia keep talking about; they are hold overs from colonial era and "rules based" agreements between powers.

It is so sad that there is not one corner on this whole world wide web that one can get non-partisan and objective analysis.

Thanks for the links, interesting blogger...

But, as I myself wondered, even not knowing so closely the situation there in Russia, but after seeing how the Russian government follows the same Western narrative, eventhough apparently being in the verge of war with the West,
and lacking the info about backgrounds of Dimitriev and new prospects by Sberbank through Sber, how in all that scenario it fits the periodic packing of Russian troops in the Western borders and warns of imminent war voi9ced by the myriad of geopolitical and war blogs and analysts, including the one recently warned by the Canadian Secret Service?

As I guessed some weeks ago, it seems all pure theater, after tghe thing gets the point of ignition, the Russians withdraw the troops, other times it is NATO, but, in th end, both "adversaries" seem to have planned the same way how to surf the next financial collapse, in which, of course, RDIF, Sberbank and all the globalist elite also in Russia have much to lose unless they charge everything on the backs of the plebe.

Through your links we get to know the Russian Fauci, the Russian Gates´woman.
We also can see that the embittered Greff would get the piece which in the EU will go to Macron´s administration corporation, Atos, along the Von der Leyens, pocketing all the gains from digital ID, digital Health, etc...

Thus, in case of war, that I do not discard them going to such lenghts in order to distract the people from the falling Covid narrative, it will be a performance, as it has been everything since....when?

@jinn “the narrative has always been that the vaccines prevent serious illness and death.”

Please do not provide false facts or spread misinformation trying to uphold Governmental "credibility." In a July 21 CNN town hall, Biden said there is a pandemic for those who are not vaccinated against COVID. He went on to claim: "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in an ICU unit, and you are not going to die." Biden also said: "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

All untrue.

which is only correct if you deliberately misuse the word vaccine
____________________________________________________________________________

While I do agree that the "official" information about the SARS2 and covid has been misleading and confusing, I don't believe the word vaccine is wrong if it does provide protection against whatever agent that is causing serious illness and death. The evidence that vaccine provides protection against serious illness and death is pretty convincing.

It is generally agreed by physicians who are actively treating the disease that the serious and lethal symptoms of the disease do not begin until after the SARS2 virus has been defeated by the bodies natural immune response. Viral replication rarely lasts longer than about 4-5 days after symptoms first appear. People usually land in the hospital 10-15 days after symptoms first appear and long after the virus itself has been defeated by the bodies natural defenses.

Since the virus is no longer viable at the point where the sometimes deadly inflammatory and thrombotic effects of covid take hold the agent that causes the sometimes deadly effects must not be the virus itself. So it must be some agent (toxin) that is left over from the battle between the virus and the immune system. It does appear that the vaccines do provide some immunity to that agent that causes the serious illness and death, but may not provide much immunity to the virus itself.

Here is a doctor who has been successfully treating covid based on the theory that the serious illness and death is caused by a hyper-inflammatory reaction that occurs at a set point in the course of the disease and can be easily treated if caught at that point. Unfortunately most people end up in the hospital days after the inflammatory reaction has begun and at that point it has already spiraled out of control.

From Maria Zakharova's telegram channel today we have the following report in Russian which unfortunately is all to typical of what occurs at its source:

"Kleptocrats have stolen $100 billion of government money.

"Oh, I forgot one important detail – in the United States.

"Who said this? No, neither Vladimir Solovyev, nor Dmitry Kiselev, nor Margarita Simonyan.

"US Secret Service Coordinator Roy Dotson made this statement.

"In his words, the US allocated money to counter pandemic-related unemployment but, as you might have guessed, these funds did not reach the jobless.

"In general, Mr Dotson is refreshingly honest. He asks himself: 'Can we stop fraud? Will we?' and answers 'No.'

"Apparently, the Secret Service knows well how the US state machinery operates.

"Now the main point: Why do we care about this? Because Washington has recently announced anti-corruption struggle as one of its foreign policy priorities. A bill was drafted in this context – Combating Global Corruption Act of 2021 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/14). It elevates to the absolute the long-standing American tradition of transnational enforcement and becomes a foundation for international communication. The US has misappropriated its right as the global anti-corruption auditor, prosecutor, investigator and judge. And all of a sudden such an unpleasant leak has occurred. To recall both Freud and Andersen: 'the King has no clothes at all.'

"We can also recall how Afghanistan turned into a corruption hole for the US, where billions allotted for the country’s recovery were stolen. Or take the corruption scandal involving the purchase of medical equipment, which broke out last October. But, of course, stealing $100 billion from the pandemic relief fund for the jobless is very impressive. Washington will now only be able to break this record by stealing funds allocated for combatting global corruption.

"If the Democratic administration is so eager to combat corruption globally, let it start with itself. It can establish some kind of fund, no idea which kind, but Washington surely has plenty of experience in this field." [My Emphasis]

re definition of vaccines - the definition of vaccine has certainly changed twice as a matter of fact. The original definition of vaccine from its inception to the 20-teens was Prevention of contracting the disease. This was changed to mean some level of 'immunity' from a disease, and now the official CDC definition of vaccine, changed within the last year, is that it offers Protection from the most severe outcomes of the disease. According to FOIA emails released to researchers, the latest change to the official definition of the vaccine was in response to 'right-wingers' pointing out that covid vaccines were not providing immunity - the definition was changed.

Is This Erdogan’s Exit Strategy?

Tom Luongu examines Erdogan's recent monetary moves thgrough a fascinating economic/geopolitical lense.

Some nibbles follow but do chew over the full biscuit.

The key thing to remember about Erdogan is the following. Everything he’s done, including taking control of the Bank of Turkey, has been to call out the IMF and the banking institutions of Europe as ravagers of emerging markets like the one he runs.

He categorically ruled out ever taking another dollar in aid from the IMF during the last time the lira was attacked (2019). Remember, as well, he’s convinced (and I have no reason to disbelieve him) that the coup in 2016 against him was orchestrated by the U.S. and NATO, his nominal security partners.

So, there are a lot of powerful people who have a history of wanting Erdogan gone. Now, at the same time he’s done very little to secure friends. But, then again there are no friends in geopolitics, only temporarily aligned interests.

......Clearly the 1936 treaty of Montreaux, which gives Turkey full control over what ships can pass through the Bosporus and Dardenelles, is the prize here. Getting rid of Montreaux will allow NATO to bring ships into the Black Sea to ostensibly pressure Russia into giving up Sevastopol.

Good luck with that.

.......Truthfully, when has the IMF ever been right about ANYTHING!?

I will be interested to see if Michael Hudson has comment on this as Erdogan has made a serious step away from the west. If he has earned a reward from the east then events in NE Syria will become heated and the invading 'Kurds' and their US mongrel forces could be given an immediate eviction shove.

There is a symbol ubiquitous all over the net and Tvs some time ago, that is the hexagon...

I was seeing that at the image of Webb telescope published by Pat Lang, they have represented its surface with hexagons...

Curiously, during the Putin presser, the background stage was represented by a whole panel covered with hexagons, in which from time to time the map of Russia appeared in the center, surrounded by hexagons...

Hexagon is the symbol of graphene...

There is theory by Spanish resistance group, backed by analysis of mRNA vaccines by Dr. Campra, related to the presence of graphene oxyde in the "vaccines", thus concluding what is happening here is that "vaccinated" people are really being "graphenated" for radiating purposes and mental control through neural webs, hence Neuralink and the recently passed, through the "pandemic", "Neural Rights Laws" in all our countries...

We know that the elites love to get slide symbols or sending messages publicly to each other...

I agree entirely. Fauci had zero evidence that the vaccines provided any protection against infection. The vaccine companies had provided evidence that their products reduced serious illness and death but no evidence that it provided protection against infection.

Myself,I prefer evidence to narratives...
The evidence for protection against serious illness and death has always been hard to argue against. The evidence for protection against infection has always been shaky - at least in the US.

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has opened the door to deepening security ties with Australia and the Five Eyes spying network to counter Iran’s cyber attacks and combat terrorism.
Mr Lapid said Australian law enforcement agencies now had the opportunity to hunt Hezbollah’s global terror network after the Morrison government last month declared the Lebanese group a terrorist organisation.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid says Israel wants a closer security relationship with Australia.Credit:AP
In an exclusive interview with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Mr Lapid said Israel was “very interested in deepening our ties with Australia and with all countries in the Indo-Pacific”.
Mr Lapid said striking a free trade agreement with Australia was also a priority which would “expand trade and help create jobs in both our countries”, and floated the prospect of direct flights between the two countries.
His comments suggest that Israel wants to become more relevant in the Indo-Pacific region amid escalating tensions between China and the United States....."

"Protests over post-vaccination deaths spread across South Korea". This seems to be an escalating problem as mixing jab types may be the cause.

Yesterday there was lots of chatter about what might happen to the six scheduled NBA games since many of the teams were missing starters due to the league's Covid protocol. One team had so many players out it had to get an emergency exemption to add more players to its roster so it could have the minimum number in uniform to play its game. And ALL these players are vaccinated; some having faced great amounts of pressure to overcome their values. Same is happening to NFL, world football, and NHL players, which is sending a message none of their governments wants to--the vaccines don't confer any immunity, although they can lessen the severity, but not in all cases. Therefore, all the proposed restrictions on travel, event attendance, etc., are nothing but bullshit attempts to limit freedoms. As I've opined and others agreed, Covid is going to become similar to flu in how it affects society. If you don't want to get it, then you'll mask, perform appropriate hygiene, and social distance if at all possible. Any further attempts by governments to limit freedoms--unless such restrictions have public support because the government does it properly as China does--are not being done in the public's interest and are attacks on basic human rights.

Just yesterday a story about money laundering in Australia appeared on Michael West's site:

"The flood of black money into Australia proceeds apace, pushing up property prices, as the government dithers on its international pledge to enact money-laundering laws.

"Governments of both stripes have been hemming and hawing for 15 years over the introduction of money-laundering laws, laws which would stem the flood of black market money into Australia’s property market; laws which would finally drag this nation into line with global standards on AML-CTF (that’s the regulatory vernacular for Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing).

"Yet thanks to lobbying and political donations, thanks to the government’s complete failure to stand up to powerful vested interests – lawyers, accountants and property developers – we are still waiting for Tranche II, laws supposed to be enacted by 2008.

The story comes with a quote that could have come straight from 'Yes Minister,

Senator Nick McKim: Thanks, Mr Pezzullo (Secretary, Home Affairs). Just to be clear: 15 years after Tranche 2 (of money-laundering laws) was first promised, and five years after the statutory review of the act recommended that Tranche 2 be implemented, the government has now recommissioned a cost-benefit assessment that has already been done once. Is that what you’re telling the committee?
Mike Pezzullo: It was done at a point in time with certain parameters and working assumptions. Yes, we’re redoing that work, or I should say we’re having that work redone.

Carlos Tejada was married and had two children; he spent his career at the Wall Street Journal before joining the Times in 2016.

In July, he received a Johnson & Johnson DNA/AAV Covid vaccine. He was thankful to get it, per his Instagram page.

On Dec. 16, in Seoul, South Korea, he received a Moderna mRNA/LNP “booster.” No clinical trials have ever been conducted to examine the safety or efficacy of mixing various types of these vaccines, and Carlos did not give informed consent, as the consent form was in Korean, a language he could not read. He joked that Omicron should “hit me with your wet snot.”

A day later, Carlos was dead of a heart attack.

Research has shown that the spike proteins from the "mRNA vaccines" do not remain at the injection site as originally thought. They migrate throughout the body, concentrating in the Ovaries and Kidneys within 24 hours. They apparently migrate to the heart and stimulate the heart muscle cells to produce spike protein, which makes the immune system identify these cells as dangerous, and destroy them. Since heart muscle is only slowly regenerated, this loss of heart muscle causes myocarditis, and eventual weakening of the heart. This process leaves the patient vulnerable to a heart attack should he be stressed. In Carlos case, that occurred next day.

So, do what you want.... but don't blame me... or Bobby Kennedy should things go aray... when prophylaxis with IVM would be safer and more effective.

It's insane how we still have to buy tiny toothpaste and take our shoes off to board a plane 20 years after 9/11, but 800,000 Covid deaths couldn't get us a temporary vaccine/test requirement to fly.

Sez the peeps who don't want to ID voters but want to ID you to buy a burrito.

~// Big organized $ can corrupt ANYONE! / You said it!

Also it is the secret of the invention of the "corporation" as a legal structure to:

1. create infinite longevity to accumulate; no death by old-age

2. Enable limitless amounts of accumulated wealth and power

3. Bypass prison punishment; cannot put a "corporation" in prison

4. re justice: create their own Courts Of Equity

5.Bypass the US Supreme Court via legal tricks to be declared "persons" and have the legal "rights of persons". Thus, corporations declared "money" to be "speech" and got First Amendment Free Speech Rights for lobbying, etc

[[ The US Supreme Court never considered whether or not corporations had the legal rights of natural persons. The case notes of an 1886 case included an introduction by the Court Reporter in his "Headnotes" that corporations were persons; the SC Justices never considered the matter of "natural persons" [citizens and/or humans] v. "artificial persons" [corporations or religious orgs, etc.] which were terms used in English law. Later. the irrelevant "Headnotes" were falsely cited as precedent that corporations got the same rights as "natural persons".]]

USA...What a country!

@ Piotr

Thanks.

That was really obvious. What made me doubt that interpretation was the optional phrases you mentioned. But, now, those seem obvious too…. :-)

So, before corporation were created to provide that arms length relationship between the global financial elite and their actions, their was still private property and ongoing inheritance/trusts that are and have been the underpinnings of the Top/Bottom world for centuries.

And before private property and inheritance there is/was the marriage of patriarchy and monotheism that arose in the ME area around the Sumerian epoch.

As we close the 2nd year of the roaring Twenties of this century I want to provide a Wall Street on Parade link and a take away quote from the posting

OCC Report Shows JPMorgan Chase Owns 62 Percent of all Stock Derivatives Held at 4,914 Banks in the U.S.

The take away quote

"
The striking detail in the OCC report is that one taxpayer-backstopped, federally-insured bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., is for some unfathomable reason sitting on 62 percent of all stock (equity) derivatives held at all 4,914 federally-insured banks in the United States. The second striking detail is that this federally-insured bank’s holdings of stock derivatives come to a notional amount (face amount) of $3.3 trillion. (Yes, trillion with a “t.” See above chart.) And the third striking detail is that 74 percent of JPMorgan Chase’s stock derivatives are not centrally-cleared but instead are opaque, over-the-counter (OTC) contracts – highly likely beyond the scrutiny of bank regulators.

Why is any taxpayer-backstopped bank in the United States allowed to own anything near a trillion dollars in stock derivatives, let alone a bank like JPMorgan Chase that has admitted to an unprecedented five criminal felony counts brought by the Justice Department in the past seven years, with three of those felony counts for rigging markets.
"

Us folks in the West can create and launch the James Webb Space Telescope

and we can have mixed economy things like sewage treatment plants and water supply systems created and operated by and for the people but, IMO, the elite have created a society of zombies when it comes to understanding the basic differences between public and private ownership of the social utility of finance.

re the COVID19 and the now [Dec 2021] established mRNA vax threat:

In this link, Dr. Bhakdi explains how and why the gene-based COVID-“vaccines” trigger the breakdown of immunological defenses against infectious agents that lie dormant (“sleeping”) in our bodies...

most notably such as ever-present yet dormant tuberculosis, tumors, cancers, Herpes, shingles, Epstein-Barr...the more jabs, the further excitation and out-of-control are the body's own natural immune mechanisms

https://doctors4covidethics.org/dr-explains-basic-immunology/

IIRC, almost 2 years ago Judy Mikovits warned about the restimulation of dormant diseases...made dormant by a body's own natural immune system...and she was heavily attacked and censored.

@ chu teh | Dec 27 2021 7:47 utc | 97 with the report of adverse reactions to mRNA "vaccines".

I have a cousin two years older than me who just started radical stem cell treatment two weeks ago because she got a rare blood cancer after her Moderna shots.....it may give her a couple years more of life......and her brother is pissed because she does not want to know how she got here.

As I said in my previous comment, the global elite have created a zombie like society that welcomes the curtain, behind which, they promise never to look.

COVID will now come in waves (real or imagined, it makes no difference in a world defined by indeterminacy) to satisfy the maintenance of hysterical headlines and continued states of emergency. It remains only to guess the name of the next variant of concern: my money is on SIGMA. Any challengers? I'll give good odds.

@69 jinn

I don't understand why you are so stubbornly repeating false information. In November, 2020, the results of the "stage III study" for Pfizer's Cominarty was published, stating a "96% effectiveness of the vaccine against infection".

One can doubt the methodology of those studies but it is hard to do otherwise unless one intentionally infects humans with covid (which is out of the question even for Pfizer - at least not openly). So about 500 persons out of 43,500 - 30k vaccinated the rest placebo control group. According to the study, they found 8 infections in the vaccinated group, and 152 in the placebo group. Thus, a "95% efficiency (90.3 to 97% confidence interval)" was concluded.

No statements about lessened severity of outcomes under vaccination was ever made in this and subsequent studies. They only came out after massive immunization failures became obvious, first in Israel, then in other countries.

This milder outcome seems to be the case. But it is a lie that Pfizer or other vaccine producers did not promise and politicians did not further herd immunity by mass vaccination.
