      The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine. The doctors have dishonored and disgraced their profession. They promulgated a Covid- 19 vaccination program that is now clearly killing a lot of people early in life and unnaturally. To this day, no established professional group of doctors, or formal association, or major journal, has called for an end to the vaxx program.

      The hazard signal has been clear for the better part of a year. The mRNA products made by Pfizer and Moderna did not stop transmission of Covid-19 and were causing widespread harm, especially in the working-age population between 25 and 64 who were forced to take the shots to keep their jobs. For the whole population, all-causes deaths and disabilities were still rising at the end of 2022.

     The trend appeared to start with the unnatural deaths of professional athletes dropping dead on their playing fields. Then, in early 2022, life insurance companies reported that the death rates of policy-holders employed by companies with insurance plans were up 40 percent. The unprecedented numbers were confirmed in mid-2022 by the Society of Actuaries — the professional org of people who actually parse the statistics that the insurance industry bases its business model on. In fact the number of excess deaths in younger age groups had grown dramatically — Covid vaccination produced a 78-percent increase in excess deaths among the 25-34 age group, a 100-percent increase in excess deaths among the 35-44 age group, and a 80-percent increase in excess deaths among the 45-54 age group.

        These alarming signals arrived special-delivery and gift-wrapped to the medical profession and, amazingly, no corresponding warning to the public came back out. The doctors continued to push the vaccines. The public health officials (many of them doctors) in all the agencies under the US Dept. of Health and Human Services withheld information about the harms that were being done and continued to run vaxx-up advertisements at the same time these officials must have noticed the incoming disturbing data. As late as this new year, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky appeared in TV ads promoting mRNA booster shots.

      In short, a professional class the public depends on to define reality has done everything possible to conceal and distort reality. The cable news networks and the newspapers amplified the distortions to prevent the public from understanding what was happening to them in an epic world health crisis. Social media, managed backstage by government intel agencies, reinforced the information blackout and their own nefarious lies. The crisis was coming not so much from the Covid-19 virus itself, which had a death rate well under one percent of those infected; the crisis came from the supposed remedy for the virus, the vaccines pushed on the uninformed and misinformed citizens.

      Outside a small circle of apostate doctors — Drs. Malone, McCullough, Kory, Cole, Risch, Bhattacharya, and others — the practicing physicians of America went blindly and cravenly along with the government’s vaccination program. My own primary care physician told me he was “a hundred percent confident in the vaccines” when he attempted to persuade me to take the shots. (I declined.) In the next year’s physical exam he didn’t even mention the vaccines. How about your doctors? Do you wonder what they’ve learned?  Or if they’ve learned anything?

      And what are they going to do now? Pretend that none of this is happening? Continue to demonize, discredit, and punish the few doctors who won’t pretend? My PC doc doubles as Chief Health Officer of his group practice. He’s fired doctors and others on the staff who refused to take the shots his company mandated. He’s dishonored his Hippocratic oath. He’s in mid-life with, one would assume ordinarily, many working years ahead of him. The information about vaccine deaths and disabilities is going to get worse, and his own behavior around the crisis is going to look worse, probably even to himself. There are hundreds of thousands of doctors like him. As of now, early 2023, there is no general movement among them to explain or apologize for their actions. What will happen?

     I’ll tell you what will happen: medicine as we’ve known it is going to collapse, along with most other activities in our society. Apart from ethical offenses against the public in the single instance of the Covid-19 emergency, doctors and their administrative cohorts have stealthily surrendered to a racketeering business model that had already badly damaged the practice of medicine before Covid-19 came on the scene.

     Remember: as a general principle, organisms and systems often assume their greatest size just before they go extinct or fail. That’s exactly what you’re seeing in the conglomeratization of hospitals in the USA. If the idea was to remove redundancies for the sake of “efficiency,” then they did exactly what destroys ecosystems. Anyway, the net effect of all that hospital consolidation was just to make access to health care much more difficult for the average citizen, and the only benefit was to make multi-millionaires of the executives who run the hospitals.

      Then Covid-19 came along and they decimated their own workforces with vaccine mandates. Now, many hospitals can barely function, and many have had to shut down specific services. Quite a few hospitals are going bankrupt, which only feeds the predatory consolidation still ongoing. When the looming financial, banking, and insurance disorders start to bite later this year, hospitals will be shutting down. In the meantime, many more people will lose their lives to the disastrous side-effects of the vaccines. It is already the case — to make matters worse — that the vaccine-injured who seek help from the medical system are lied-to, mis-treated, or ignored. Some of these are the doctors themselves and other health professionals who collide with reality the hard way.

      Something will emergently replace this monster we call “health care.” Maybe it will still think of itself as medicine, but it will operate at a much smaller scale, minus a lot of the expensive and rather miraculous high-tech wizardry developed in our time, but also minus a lot of hazardous high-tech interventions, especially pharmaceuticals, that were used as supernaturally profitable revenue streams despite the adverse blowbacks they induced.

     Will the doctors recover the trust of the public? It’s going to be a slog for them. They’ll have a long way to go just to recover their own honor and self-respect. Some sort of sincere and highly visible public act of apology and repentance will have to happen first.

    Thanks James for being a lone Lighthouse as we try to find an intellectual shore that makes sense.

    • Walter B January 6, 2023 at 1:41 pm #

      A lighthouse our host may be, but he is not going to keep the ships from crashing onto the rocks, sorry. Not with lines like:

      “Something will emergently replace this monster we call “health care.””

      I love you Jim, but that something is going be nothing, nothing for us because everything will be for them, unless of course you are talking about gender/species mutilation or lethal injections. At least they are free, eh? Well, sort of.

      That is what greed and fear by our masters shall earn us all in the end. They cannot allow us to wake TF up and march on Frankenstein’s Castle with pitchforks and lighted torches. THAT is what they fear. THAT is why they are still pumping slow death and deformity by injection, and why they will eventually, once again mandate that, with refusal earning you something even more painful, I fear.

      Check out “The SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028”. I for one am thankful that the demonic mass murderers at least have the decency to warn us what they are planning to do, just as Billy Bob Gates did in 2019 with his “theoretical” exercise, “Event 201”. Not that the general public gives a shit about warnings. Still nice of them to be so honest, at least before they kill us off.

      • WadeWaters January 6, 2023 at 5:28 pm #

        It will be replaced with modalities like acupuncture, herbalism, chiropractic and the like which endeavor to enhance your health and well-being naturally and without big Pharma intrusions of drugs and other high tech wizardry. Most of that stuff is completely unnecessary. I made the decision myself to have nothing to do with allopathic medicine around 1990, except perhaps as a last resort.

        • Anthea January 6, 2023 at 6:56 pm #

          @ WadeWaters:

          There are a few doctors around who are highly trained in alternative medicine. There was one in my area until about 2000. He was a medical doctor who practiced a range of alternative treatments, from herbs to chelation therapy, to chiropractic. He had a huge, highly successful practice–until the Board of Healing Arts went after him and he lost his license to practice medicine.

          I assume there are still doctors like him, but every possible effort has been made to destroy them. I don’t that conventional, allopathic medicine and Big Pharma are going to step aside and allow the Good Guys to practice good medicine and good patient care.

        • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 12:51 pm #

          Same thing I’m doing, Wade. I go to a naturopath doctor.

        • Yirgach January 8, 2023 at 3:40 pm #

          Wade,

          It’s easy to have a last resort, it’s hard to know when to use it.

          I’ve had more than a few friends die because they waited too long to be treated by allopathic medicine.

          On the other hand, I know several who have recovered because of alternative treatment and ignored the allopathic alternative.

          You need to know what your limits are, which is very hard.
          Health care nowadays is a total crap shoot.
          Knowledge is everything. Knowing the right questions to ask is a good start.

          • WadeWaters January 8, 2023 at 5:17 pm #

            I’m planning on retiring in Puerto Escondido. That will be my last resort.

      • Amman January 7, 2023 at 8:43 am #

        A depressive scenario, no doubt. My best is between now and 2025, the world will be of on a COMPLETELY different tangent that no one could have predicted..

        • CheezusCrackers January 10, 2023 at 6:11 pm #

          “My own primary care physician told me he was “a hundred percent confident in the vaccines” when he attempted to persuade me to take the shots. (I declined.)
          In the next year’s physical exam he didn’t even mention the vaccines.”

          Are you joking, Dr. K???? Next years exam? Any boob who is 100% confident in an untested gene therapy is not a doctor and not someone I’d go back to ever again.

      • ThorsHammer January 7, 2023 at 8:48 am #

        Jim, please stop helping perpetuate medical fraud by referring to the Pfizer/Moderna injections as vaccines. The correct terminology is “experimental genetic alteration injections”. They meet none of the criteria of a vaccine.

        On the same topic, referring to Covid19 as a Pandemic is purely speculative. It is impossible to determine whether the Covid outbreak rose to the level of a Pandemic because the definition of a “case” was based upon the fraudulent usage of the PCR testing methodology with as high as a 95% false positive outcome. The term Pandemic is a purely political construct used to create panic for political ends.

        • Vegan Shark January 7, 2023 at 9:47 pm #

          Tell it, brother.

          My HMO, Kaiser Permanente, has disappointed me by utterly buying into the Covid-as-Black-Death line.

          The doctors seem to all be on message and want everybody to get the needle. (I’ve refused.) They required me to be tested for Covid before I could have a cataract operation. Go to the website and you are bombarded with “information” about Covid.

          And this despite KP being among the best HMOs, one I’ve otherwise had little to complain about and much to appreciate. What the Covid indoctrination is like at second- or third-rate organizations hardly bears thinking about.

          • Vegan Shark January 7, 2023 at 9:56 pm #

            Oh yes, and KP still requires face diapers for patients and doctors in the facility. They’d probably insist one wear a mask for phone consultations if they could figure a way to enforce the rule.

        • ThorsHammer January 8, 2023 at 12:41 pm #

          Once a Government successfully inoculates its subjects with a new form of control they do everything possible to maintain it by ignoring all contradicting evidence. The Pandemic of Fear must go on. Muzzles forever. To this day the US is using PCR testing to screen travelers from China. Never mind that it’s Nobel Prize winning inventor pointed out in 2018 that it is worthless for medical diagnosis — long before the first Covid 19 case was identified in the USA.

          Commentators from all sides of the issue choose to ignore the fact that the original Covid 19 that was bio-engineered in Wuhan China or Ft. Detrick Maryland is not the same disease as the current Omicron BA 5+++ varietal that is dominant in the world today. It’s Case Fatality Rate is lower than the seasonal flu. And contacting and overcoming it provides acquired immunity to Covid viruses that is far stronger and longer lasting than any MRNA genetic alteration injection. Without destroying the natural immunity defenses that the body has acquired since the person was an embryo.

          Why do you think China abandoned its Zero Covid quest? Perhaps they realized that in its current form Omicron is a threat to almost nobody. ( .00037 CFR per million according to their statistics) Far better to let it run its course and serve to immunize the population than to destroy the economy by pursuing a policy that was bound to fail.

    • shotho January 6, 2023 at 10:33 am #

      I volunteer at the front desk of a local hospital and had a hair-raising experience the other day with a patient. Her husband came to the desk because he couldn’t find his wife. She was in the emergency department when the patient in the next cubicle fell out of his bed. When her husband went to investigate, he was kicked out of the Emergency area. He was lost, wanting to be with his wife who had been waiting for a bed in the hospital since 3am. I was able to find his wife and send him on his way to her. The old fellow was distraught and I advised him to look around for alternative health care. This case is not atypical.

      • mrs_saj January 6, 2023 at 11:59 am #

        Thanks for sharing this. So many of us do not work in healthcare and are removed from what are certainly common occurrences.

      • themetalmystic January 6, 2023 at 5:49 pm #

        Don’t worry. The neglect and disregard for his humanity is being solved by re-imagining health care to be more diverse and inclusive. Once there are no more white people, the system will be perfect!

        I know because of the rainbow globohomo brochures with everyone holding hands singing kumbaya told me so.

    That’s the tell.

    • JohnAZ January 6, 2023 at 9:44 am #

      We are still outnumbered a hundred to one. Most of the people making decisions for thousands do not have the intelligence to understand the problem.

      • JTinMD January 6, 2023 at 10:20 am #

        What “problem” are they trying to understand, John? The actual problem(s), or how to cover for their malfeasance?

      • DrTomSchmidt January 6, 2023 at 11:50 am #

        We are outnumbered at most 4-1. Recall that only 80% of adults took the Vax. Under 5% have taken the latest booster, so if we watch what people do, at this point the non-vaxxers outnumber the vaxxers by at least 10-1, and maybe more.

        The elites making decisions are again on the wrong side of history. There we probably ARE outnumbered 20-1.

        • John001 January 6, 2023 at 1:21 pm #

          It appears to be less than that.

          The true figure in the fairly highly vacd. UK seems to be ~75%.

          The reported figure in Switzerland is a bit less than that.

          Bulgaria is at … wait for it … ~30%. One of the lowest of all developed countries. I reckon someone in authority knew what was going on and put his/her foot on the brake.

          As regards JHK’s comment about his doctor ‘He’s in mid-life with, one would assume ordinarily, many working years ahead of him’ ahem, well, perhaps it won’t be so many working years if he’s taken 4-5 doses.

          In the UK, healthcare is ‘free’ but I still wouldn’t take up the offer. I’ve just de-registered from any GP, age 69. My ‘doctors’ will have to be online biochemist PhDs and retired (mostly) MDs who know what they’re doing, e.g. Drs. Robb Wolf, Ivor Cummins, Chris Masterjohn, David Grimes, Malcolm Kendrick. Eat well, exercise well and you shouldn’t need more than occasional cheap out of patent drugs. Make sure your HDL, HbA1C, TGs, vitamin D are OK before you ‘go independent’.

          I read Dr. Peter Gotzsche’s 2013 book ‘Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime’ recently. It described a situation that had been developing for decades. 2020-23 wasn’t new, it was just a further overreach.

        • Amman January 7, 2023 at 8:45 am #

  4. lizharmon January 6, 2023 at 9:39 am #

    I’ve noticed that the NFL has circled their wagons and don’t you dare even suggest that what happened to Damar Hamlin had anything to do with vax injury. Of course they did. They’re the ones that required their players to get all vaxxxed up to begin with. Now the only accxeptable explanation is a uniquely rare blow to the chest.

    All well and good, but let’s say that it is vaxxx injury and not the officially approved cause. What’s the league going to do when the next guy drops, or the one after him? I’ll tell you what they’re gonna do. They’re gonna go down with the ship. They’re in too deep to back out now. They promoted this. They demanded this. They caused this. All that is left is for them to pay for what they’ve done…and they will.

      Hey Liz,

      Keep your eye on Super Bowl Sunday. Things could get quite interesting on the field that day.

      Whatever will the NFL say? Whatever will the NYT and WaPo say? What will Brandon, and Dr. Fauci, and Bill Gates, and Rochelle Walensky, and the CEOs of Big Pharma and Big Tech, and the heads of the CDC and the WHO and the intelligence agencies … and well, you see what I mean. It could all get a wee bit uncomfortable for them.

      • Beryl of Oyl January 6, 2023 at 10:24 am #

        My local hospital, excuse me, my local Health still has the mask thing going on, I think perhaps because they don’t want to admit how stupid they were about the virus in the first place.

        Maybe in a decade or so people will forget why they started the nosense in the first place and it will stop.

        • Disaffected January 6, 2023 at 10:37 am #

            I drove 40 miles across a mountain pass for an appointment with my long-term family care doctor. His intake nurse insisted that I muzzle up. When I refused she kicked me out of the door and threatened to call the sheriff.

            My doctor called me up that evening and apologized, staying that he hated wearing a mask for 10 hours a day, but the Big Hospital he worked for required it as a condition of employment.

            Why should I trust any doctor who chooses to ignore their Hippocratic Oath and replace it with intellectual subservience?

          All UCLA facilities are mask only and they are still pushing the “six feet apart” line.

          • mrs_saj January 7, 2023 at 4:21 pm #

            The “six feet apart” element of all this funny.

            In approximately Sept 2021, Scott Gottlieb was interviewed by Margaret Brennan. I don’t remember if it was on her Face The Nation program or not. Anyway, Gottlieb used to be a commissioner for the FDA. During the interview, he told a story about being called to the White House during the early days of COVID (early 2020) when the Trump administration was trying to craft a public policy to rollout.

            Gottlieb and his cohorts asked the White House for a policy of ten feet of social distancing.

            The administration was aghast. “You can’t run an economy with ten feet of social distancing,” was the answer from the White House.

            “Ok, how about six feet?”

            ————————————

            THAT is how we got six feet! There is no medical basis for it at all, which makes it relatively, if not completely, useless.

            You get one guess what Scott Gottlieb was doing by the time Sept 2021 rolled around and he gave this interview. Yep, he was at that time done with the FDA and was by then on Pfizer’s Board of Directors pushing “vaccines”. He wanted people to know that six feet social distancing was worthless so he could help sell vaccines.

            These people are just evil.

      I noticed that the doctors’ update on Damar Hamlin’s condition was full of praise for the Bill’s staff on the field, who recognized the problem and took immediate life-saving actions.

      They mentioned something about unusual it is for heart victims to have the help they need so close by, and how fortunate.

      It had me thinking this morning, what if it wasn’t luck, what if they had prepared ahead of time because they knew something like this could happen?

      I listen to the Buffalo radio station (WBEN) and I scream at it regularly as they ignore the elephant in the room. I read a good suggestion today for all the football players mandated to get this abomination. Go to a private M.D.(not team doctors!) and request a blood test called a troponin level. This will reveal if there is any damage to the heart muscle if it is elevated. An MRI of the heart could indicate if there is heart remodeling indicative of myocarditis. If their mandate injured you- sue the hell out of the NFL.

      I doubt most of these professional athletes actually took the jab. Their livelihood to totally based on their physical well being. They have their own person doctor and even the team doctor would go along with whatever they want. So I’m confident most athletes behind a closed door took it with a wink wink nod nod. The EU maybe not so much. So compare the number of footballers in the EU that have dropped on the pitch with those of the NFL and NHL, its near nil in the US.

    Good to see Kunstler.com back on line.

    A good measure of the intelligence of a society is the wealth of legitimate knowledge of its professional classes.

    Well, guess what, this country is getting stupider by the year. It’s ability to discern bullshit is falling rapidly as its dependence on the government increases, and for all the reasons we have discussed over and over.

    Think about the hang up in the House right now. Twenty people have the reason and the guts to say enough is enough, we need to stop socializing this country. Hooray for them. Anyone who says it is not expedient, like Hannity, is part of the RINOs. Fox is definitely show how shallow it’s conservative roots are.

    BTW, most of the “concessions” are related to making the floor of the House more democratic, and diluting the power of the leadership. They do not trust a long time RINO.

    RINOs all over the country are complaining that the GOP cannot get to the business of cutting back on the spending. Bull, shutting down the House has that effect. 18 GOPers voted for the 1.7 trillion debacle a couple of weeks ago. These twenty want them punished by stopping all 18 GOP Senators from having bills considered in the House.

    I, for one, like what I am seeing. One potential disaster is there though. What if 6 RINOs jump fence and vote for Jeffries. The Twenty are walking a tightrope.

      It is a danger, AZ, but a line must be drawn in the sand at some point. I think this is the point.

      If any RINO’s vote to put a Democrat in the Speaker’s chair it will simple affirm what we all already knew: RINO’s cannot be trusted. They are Seamp Creatures and natural collaborators – Quislings really – who love scheming with Communist Democrats to loot and destroy our country.

      So I really don’t think that scenario will materialize. It would blow their cover for all to see what they truly are.

        The mob?

        CHICAGO THREATENS TO PULL LICENSES FOR AIR CARGO: The city of Chicago threatened to revoke licenses for contractors handling cargo for airlines at O’Hare International Airport if the contractors do not open up to union organizers. Revoking contractor licenses would stop two-thirds of cargo traffic at O’Hare. Cargo airline executives warn it could take months to move the $200 billion per year in cargo traffic through O’Hare to other handling agents and facilities. (AC: O’Hare International Airport is a major air hub for North America. A disruption in cargo traffic would cause a strong ripple effect through supply lines in the rest of the country as cargo airlines scramble to find alternative routes

        You don’t suppose that the Chicago Outfit has made any inroads in the squeaky clean politics that Chicago represents? Or the unions?

        What could possibly go wrong?

        • Mick January 6, 2023 at 1:03 pm #

          Hopefully they’ll move that cargo traffic to DFW. It’s a central location in the country like Chicago, and the weather is better in the winter. And it is of course in a non-union, no make that an anti-union state.

        • BackRowHeckler January 6, 2023 at 1:08 pm #

          E. I spend these bleak winters picking a subject and researching the hell out of it; one year it was pirates, another it was Hemingway, yet another was the Philippine-American Wars 1898-1913. This season it’s been the Mob, the Mafia. I had no idea how powerful and influential they’ve been (even tho where I live its called Mafia Hill, with those Italian owned ornate brick mansions up there) You’re correct about the unions, the mob owns the unions. One example illustrates the influence of organized crime: Genovese Crime Family Godfather Frank Costello, successor to Lucky Luciano and head of The Commission, kept a small office in City Hall in Manhattan — attached to the Mayor’s office lol. And not just one Mayor either! Just in NYC alone, in 1980, there were and estimated 25,000 associates, captains, soldiers, consigliere etc. That’s just the 5 families in NYC not counting all the guys in New England (Patriarchas) NJersey, SJersey, Atlantic City, the Chicago Outfit (who had a seat on the Commission) the Purple Gang in Detroit, Cleveland, Las Vegas, LA, Kansas City, Buffalo, Montreal, New Orleans, Miami, Tampa — maybe 100,000 organized criminals who’s tentacles reached into literally everything. One thing that really stands out reading about the mob is the casual murder over the decades and the past century; if you’re associated with La Costa Nostra you’re most likely gonna end up with a bullet in your head, and the person who puts it there you’ve most likely known your whole life, a friend, sometimes even a brother, son or father.

            For a very long time, the US government has been passing legislation that funnels billions of dollars into mob coffers. It started with alcohol prohibition, and it has been continuing ever since. However, if you compare the Mafia to the “health care industry”, the Mafia is a relatively insignificant bunch of criminals. We like the Mafia because some of them are and have been colorful, unique, and even comical characters. They are cut from a different cloth from the Dr. Megele’s we have in our med system. People coming from a Nazi state of mind are colorless killing machines, and have no problems with destroying entire nations and killing billions. The Mob has so such aims or desires, they only kill for business reasons, not because they are homicidal psychopaths.

        • Jarek January 6, 2023 at 1:17 pm #

          John Az’s use of the word “Mob” is genius, as it gets everyone thinking about the Italians as per BRH’s post. What a way to avoid the Truth. Other people use different stratagems. Poor Alex Jones raves about the Chinese takeover of Hollywood.

          What was the best movie about the Mafia? The Godfather. Who is other group in the movie besides the Italians? Those are the ones who graduated to the big time and took America from the WASPS.

    “Hospital” became “Hospital System” then “Health System” and now, frequently, “Health,” as in “Mercy Health”–so now Health is a product you (and your “Payer”) purchase from a giant conglomerate. Meanwhile the clerical board members from the old Baptist and Presbyterian and Catholic hospitals have disappeared along with the religious affiliations.

    At least my father, who died in 2001, never lived to see the day when what had been his calling in life could sink low.

      My Dad was an M.D. also. He took a very dim view of the 1968 formation of Hospital Corporation of America here in my town by the Frist family. Dr. Thomas Frist, Jr., brother of former TN Sen. Bill Frist, is now worth about $17 billion.

      Dad thought it was unethical for physicians to get into the business of owning hospitals.

      The practice of medicine has never been the same. I’m glad he’s not here to see it.

      My brother, also an M.D., retired early.

  11. Wizard of the Saddle January 6, 2023 at 9:56 am #

    Jim – I had the exact same experience with my own PC doctor in 2021. He had clearly imbibed the Kool-Aid and he urged me to take the COVID jabs. I politely refused and went about my business.

    It finally caught the uber-contagious Omicron variant in July of 2022. It was a weird experience and it gave me one mother of a headache for two days, but it otherwise was no worse than the normal upper respiratory infections that I have experienced in the past. I used Ivermectin and got an infusion of synthetic antibodies and in no time I was done with it.

    To this day I remain free of the COVID jabs and intend to stay that way.

    Your point about the loss of confidence in Big Medicine is a valid one. Prior to the pandemic I was an enthusiastic proponent of vaccinations in general and had never doubted or refused one that I thought I should take – especially the annual flu vaccine. But now I have completely lost trust in doctors, Big Pharma and the entire medical establishment. For the first time in over 30 years I refused the flu vaccine in 2022. That decision was entirely driven by the appalling experience of the past 3 years.

    • mrs_saj January 6, 2023 at 12:10 pm #

      Both of my parents are degreed pharmacists. They received their Bachelor of Science degrees around 1972. I was born in 1970, so I had a much lighter childhood vaccine schedule than the one that exists today. I told one of my parents, I think when I was 28, that I had just received my tetanus booster. I’m saving some stories about my parents for another day, so let me just say that ‘my parent’, I don’t want to say which one, went ballistic.

      “What are you doing getting a tetanus booster? Do you run around barefoot? Do you play with rusty farm equipment? Don’t ever do that again.”

      I refused the tetanus booster when I was 38 and 48 and told my doctor why. He didn’t have much to say.

      • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 10:15 am #

        My dad dragged me to the doctor every time I stepped on a nail and got me a tetanus booster, so I kept that habit.

        The last time I stepped on a nail I was coming down a ladder and stepped on a board with a nail sticking out and it went right through my shoe and into my foot. I had to pull the board off my foot.
        So I asked my friend to give me a DT, but she accidentally gave me a DTP. So I am fully immunized, as they say.

        But then I had a facebook friend whose mother worked at the CDC, so she was gung ho on vaccines, but she didn’t take tetanus shots because she had a titer that said that she was immune.

        It never occurred to me to get a tetanus titer, although I had one for mumps and it turned out I am immune even though I never had the mumps. I was exposed to them as a child, but never got sick.

        I had the measles, but my sister didn’t, but a titer showed that she is immune. My nephew had the chickenpox, but my niece didn’t, but a titer showed she is immune.

        I will never get another tetanus shot. I am just going to assume that I am immune.
        And I had covid so I am immune to that also.

        It’s just that they keep releasing new bioweapons and telling us they are “variants”.

        • Woodchuck January 7, 2023 at 12:04 pm #

          Stepping on nails stuck in boards. If you do carpentry long enough, this experience is inevitable. It’s happened to me more than once. If you’re wearing a heavy duty work boot with thick soles, the nail is not only stuck in your flesh, but stuck firmly in the boot as well. And the board is also stuck on your foot, immobilizing you until you can remove it. If the nail stuck a big vein in your foot, then you’ll be going squish squish in there until the now bloody boot comes off. Bleeding is good if not excessive, helps wash out the wound for you and sterilize things.

          I used to get bad colds and bronchitis every now and then as a youth. Sometimes I’d come down with something after working in a dusty industrial setting where I should have used a face mask. But as I grew older I got fewer cases of flu. At the moment, it’s been at least 20 years since my last cold or flu and I’m in my 70’s. I’d have no reason whatsoever to get any flu shots. I never came down with any covid stuff, even though I was exposed to it. But I do take regular supplements of vit C and zinc, and I also eat a lot of garden food I grow myself. I do believe my immune system is in great shape and that I’ve been very lucky so far.

          • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 12:46 pm #

            You are probably immune by now to most circulating colds and flu.
            I used to get at least 2 colds a year, as a child. But I haven’t gotten a cold for a while now.

            And I worked ER for 25 years, through all those previous “pandemics”, most of which I didn’t even notice, because back then the TV didn’t hype them as much.
            I figure I must be immune to most strains of flu, from being exposed every year to every thing that came around.

            The bioweapons, though, are designed to be more communicable.

        • mrs_saj January 7, 2023 at 4:39 pm #

    How many variants of the flu or RSV?

      There are 1400 human pathogens (I just looked it up).

      Are they going to announce that we need injections for all of them?

        When my kids were tiny, I would find myself at the GP practice from time to time with their childhood illnesses. I’d see the poster on the wall advertising the ‘Well Woman’ clinic they held, and periodically I’d make a mental note to give it a go. Forty years later I still haven’t made it. I’d never had a ‘check-up’ in my life, until the nurse asked me if she could check my blood pressure when I was in getting my first flu jab at age 65 (got my last one at 68 and won’t be getting any more). Apart from a minor cancer being picked up through the screening programme (not at the GP surgery), I’ve been fine, which I’ve always assumed to be the case unless evidence suggested otherwise.

        Until that first flu vaxx at 65 my last vaccine was against cholera for a holiday in 1972. The UK has gone vaxx mad since covid, of course, but the US seems to have been vaxx mad for decades.

  15. Hockeyguy January 6, 2023 at 10:13 am #

    Saw my PCP a couple weeks ago. Only a passing “need any updates on vaccines?” was offered and I quickly but politely declined.

    I recall reading years ago that even as the German locals were marched through the remains of the camps after liberation, some simply couldn’t accept the truth and continued to deny it. Likewise, I think you could give these “vaccines” to an NFL stadium full of 70k people live on TV, and as hundreds immediately fell over dead, and hundreds more over the subsequent days/weeks, most of the country, the medical establishment, and the CDC would just shrug and yawn. Nothing would happen. Nothing would change.

    We are in a very deep societal hole indeed, and far too many of our fellow citizens refuse to stop their hysterical and panicked digging long enough to understand the problem.

      Used to be the fascists had to round people up by using force. They’d stick them in cattle cars, and then place them in camps whereby “work makes them free”. Then comes the shower scenes and gas ovens.

      However, today such methods are unecessary. Just tell everyone they need a shot instead of a “shower”. Much simpler, and you don’t have to use the soldiers’ precious time for doing the roundups. They can be out fighting for “democracy” while the nurses with needles do the all the killing instead.

      • Rowdypiglet January 6, 2023 at 12:13 pm #

        @Woodchuck, Yes, it’s different this time around. But part of the problem is that many people would have changed their minds by now if it weren’t for the realization that they’d have to face the likelihood they’ve signed their own death warrants. That’s pretty terrifying.

        My sister encouraged everyone in the family to get the vaxx. She lost her son to “sudden” soon thereafter. Her daughters-in-law have had each of the boosters and have each had Covid two or three times. She herself has quietly stopped taking them. I don’t raise the subject because I know she’s unable to bear the thought of having encouraged her son to do something that ended his life. Many people are in similar positions and cannot face the truth due to a toxic combination of guilt and fear. They have few choices, and no good ones.

          Rowdy, that is what seems to be happening here in Europe too. On the one hand, the vaxtards are too scared to contemplate the increasingly obvious reality; on the other hand they are quietly opting out of any more boosters. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

        Speaking of nurses doing all the killing (I am a R.N.), where is the ANA (American Nurses Association) in all this?

        It seems nurses are generally more activist than doctors. Odd they haven’t organized to stop this jab insanity.

        Maybe it IS all coming down to prioritizing licenses and paychecks over their actual lives.

          I was a hospital employee also. Coworkers ran to get “vaccinated” as soon as it came out – until one of our paramedics had seizures and was admitted to ICU with transverse myelitis. Enthusiasm came to a screeching halt.
          Then the mandate. There were zero exemptions. The CDC said there were no contraindications to vaccination and their word was gospel. I and many others quit rather than get jabbed.

          My family thought I was insane. I started a totally unrelated business in the middle of a shutdown economy and it was the best decision ever. I took lots of flack about not believing in the medicine that paid me well over the years. Now sadly there are three dying of cancer all in one family – aggressive prostate, glioblastoma and primary liver. They all got vaccinated, double or triple stabbed and boosted together because another family member had a transplant and needed to be “protected”. Now they all have a death sentence and the person with the transplant had extremely mild 18 hour covid. The irony is indescribable.

          Ask yourself why there is an enormous shortage of staff in hospitals. It’s because we have seen the effects of the vaccine. We don’t want medical treatment forced on us because we know there are side effects to every thing we do. Many quit and left health care or moved to non-patient care positions. Apology or not, we are not forgiving the medical industry for the way they treated us. No trade group, association, or public figure stood up for us and the federal government got away with mandating the vaccination. We will not be a cog in the profit machine of medicine.

          • Jarek January 7, 2023 at 12:58 pm #

            Yes, meditate on the dark genius behind the Vax: All negative or latent conditions are exacerbated by it or made active. Some of the best mind in the world must have worked on this for many years to produce a bioweapon that can enact a stealth genocide. No doubt a few of them must have been granted a position in the Capstone of the Pyramid for their service.

            You are 100% correct. On one iteration of the CDC list of “vaccine” side effects – prior to the page being scrubbed mightily – the last bullet-pointed side effect was Vaccine Disease Acceleration. Meaning any preexisting disease or latent conditions were accelerated. Un-fucking-believable, but true.

        Are you sure they used force to round people up in Germany, Woodchuck?
        I have seen photos of people lined up for the trains, carrying their suitcases.
        I assume that they were told that they were going somewhere that required luggage, so they believed it.

      Do you have an opinion, or know, if an x-ray, ct scan, MRI, and/or PET scan would present spike proteins throughout the body, as a result of covid, as cancer? Or, would spike proteins distinctly present themselves as something else?

        What You Need to Know About COVID Vaccines and Imaging Scans

    My 75 yr old husband had the same experience. His doctor told him it was “bad” that he wasn’t vaccinated for COVID. Then 4 months later he went to her again (unvaccinated) and she did not even bring it up. As for me, I haven’t been to a doctor since COVID.

    • abbybwood January 6, 2023 at 2:23 pm #

      Same for me.

      In February 2021 my UCLA (Santa Monica) primary doctor tried the hard sell on me and I handed her print-outs on Ivermectin.

      Nobody has mentioned jabs since.

      • TPTB-USA January 7, 2023 at 6:39 am #

        My experience, as an observer with a front row seat, is that it is critical to find a PCP with an open mind; and if your PCP gives you “the hard sell” a second time, that is your clue to run!

    • Anthea January 6, 2023 at 7:48 pm #

      My doctor is one of the few doctors who prescribed Ivermectin, and our local pharmacy was willing to fill the prescription. She never went along with the covid scam or the vaccine scam. I’ve never discussed it with her, but her stance of that stuff is well known locally.

    Good post. My opinion is that even if the people (fauci, wellensky, etc..)all dissapeared it would not matter. We are not fighting against people but principalities, and the powers of evil. Long past time to put on the armor of God… Just saying

      Forget all the “powers and principalities” stuff. That’s generalising and depersonalising evil. We need to go after the people who pushed this – with extreme prejudice.

    Excellent observations today, Jim.

    My local PC provider was surprisingly short with me this year. No endless harangues about my weight, BP, blood sugar and all the rest of it, and a simple perfunctory offer of the vaxx (which I refused) with no further push. I might have misinterpreted, but it felt to me like he was chafing under the pressure from the HMO’s management goons, as he was usually much more forthcoming. Perhaps he’s seeing the writing on the wall of which you speak this week? One can only hope.

    Locally, I’m also noticing a trend toward more visiting doctors, which in fairness is probably normally much more prevalent in this part of the country. Doctors servicing multiple hospitals and/or private practices and clinics. Same with PA’s, who have become the new MDs for many.

    And finally, I can’t help but feel that much of this is intended to drive people away from seeking “healthcare” in the first place, which is a mixed bag in my opinion. Much of what passes for healthcare these days is of dubious value at best, even allowing for the Covid nonsense; having long since largely turned into a prescription drug pushing enterprise.

    I have never followed football, and I haven’t followed baseball closely since the covid nuttery, but I had noticed in this season they have instituted some new practices that weren’t sitting too well with the fans.

    Taking out pitchers so they have no opportunity for a no-hitter, for one.

    In football, it seems to be that they are calling fouls for behavior that used to be just a normal part of the game.

    I had thought this was in service of the globalist goals of the “authorities” having the absolute right to declare Safety! as more important than, well, anything.

    Now I’m thinking they didn’t want the ballplayers straining those chest muscles too much, for some reason, or the footballers taking too hard a hit to that area.

        Touch Football! A wonderful sport! Retain the blocking, eliminate the tackling. I used to play in a city league in Atlanta in the 70’s and the worst injury I ever saw was a broken collarbone — that actually occurred at a practice session. The victim was a vegetarian and we all privately thought that was part of the problem.

    In this week’s edition of his weekly blog on monopolistic practices, Mat Stoller reports on Ponzi Hospitals:

    “ProPublica wrote a story on private equity group Leonard Green and Partners, which bought 17 hospitals and loaded them up with debt to pay itself dividends. Now some of these hospitals are closing, and administrators often refuse to pay vendors for the gas in ambulances. Some of these facilities “have had bedbugs in patient rooms, rampant water leaks from the ceilings and what one hospital manager acknowledged to a state inspector “looks like feces” on the wall,” along with “dirty, corroded and cracked surgical instruments in the operating room.”

    Earlier this month, CBS did a story on Prospect Medical Holdings, a fund that owns over twenty hospitals and engages in extractive arrangements, such as shutting down critical care facilities so they can generate cash. In 2018, Prospect took out a $1.12 billion loan and paid itself a $457 million dividend, saddling the hospital with the debt. The CEOs take was $90 million. The title of the story says it all: “What they’ve done is extremely evil.”

    The private equity sociopaths literally don’t care whether they victimize Hitler or Mother Teresa, and the congressmen they own permit them to do whateverthehell they want.

    I have friends who teach nursing at a local community college. Many of their students are well past traditional college age – single mothers working multiple jobs while taking a demanding academic program. After all of that effort and sacrifice, twenty-seven per cent resign in the first year. How many hospital CEO’s would or even could work four consecutive twelve-hour days, as they require of their nurses?

    What kind of country tolerates this sort of thing?

    • BackRowHeckler January 6, 2023 at 10:57 am #

      A good article in National Review this week about the Sanford Medical group in NDakota, who run the state’s largest hospital; bizarrely, their main lobbying efforts appear to be promoting transgender surgery and hormone therapy for children and teenagers. Apparently, that’s where the money is. I know it sounds strange, especially in a state like NDakota. It’s a lengthy article, well documented — I had to read it twice.

        Our woke Sec of Defense Lloyd Austin, he of two face masks and a goofy plastic face shield, immediately upon leaving the the army was in with Ratheon for 3 million a year. He also signed on as a director on the board of Tenet Health Care for a few million more. Amazing how a former army guy can turn a military retirement into millions of dollars. He ‘s got his hand in all the pies. Of course Raytheon makes billions off the Patriot missile system which we have the Z-Man penciled in for. A single Patriot missile battery goes for a cool billion and each missile is 4 million dollars. The Z-man ordered a half dozen like they were freakin’ Dunkin’ Donuts.

        @BackRowHeckler,

        As bad as the vax thing is, and the doctors complicit in it, I actually think the transgender surgeries and drugging of children is worse. How can anyone, or any doctor especially, justify removing healthy organs from children? These pitiful kids are forever denied a normal life.

        The combination of greed and mental illness that has permitted this evil to become an industry is something the like of which has never been seen before. And, having found in this a way to make lifelong patients who are at the mercy of big pharma, it has attracted every sociopath on earth to take part in it – from teachers, pharma reps, psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, unions, educational bodies, media, universities, etc. Its monetary potentials extend into almost everything, and it appears that people will do and say anything to get their piece of the pie.

        This has been tried before, but they have never found anything that had quite the potential for lifelong harvesting of victims. Go back a while and you’ll recall that there was a great fuss made about anorexia – suddenly it was an “epidemic” among teen girls. The process unrolled in the usual way: predatory non-profits were set up, with donations going to huge salaries for the CEOS, pharma companies produced useless and dangerous drugs, doctors and psychologists and therapists got in on it for their take of the profits. But the “epidemic” went away because it never really existed in the first place and they couldn’t think of a way to keep it going.

        But if you destroy your victim’s normal bodily functions as part of the accepted protocol for “helping” them, and in such a way that they can never return to normal, you’ve solved the problem of having to invent the next fake epidemic. In attempting to sell a gender reassignment clinic to one of the universities, the creature promoting it claimed it as a great money maker because the fortunate recipients of the mutilation would be patients for the rest of their lives.

        It’s this that makes the trans industry a form of evil that has no real historical parallel.

        • BackRowHeckler January 6, 2023 at 1:17 pm #

          This has its roots in the experiments of Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz — he would perform these kind of Mephistophelian surgeries on young people he would get from the camps — the children would be mutilated and none of them would survive.

          The thought of those scalpels doing their work made me very uneasy. As a man. It would not even have made credible science fiction.

          Checking out “Christine” on Wikipedia, it seems he/she went on to a career of fame. Pioneer and all that.

        As usual, our host has extracted the marrow from the great mass of contradictions and falsehoods that beset us. I’m interested in the fact that some of the usual suspects seem to be trying to back away from their previous positions (like the Atlantic) whereas others are digging in and becoming even more insistent. Whatever the reason, the facade appears to be cracking. The more aware (or prescient) are attempting to reposition themselves against the possibility of retribution. I think that’s a hopeful sign.

    “The crisis was coming not so much from the Covid-19 virus itself, which had a death rate well under one percent of those infected […]”

    There is no virus. The gain of function work was used to help create the fake vaccine.

    Shedding is real; the spike proteins are shed and can cause mild illness to the “unvaccinated.” Those who took the shot had their bodies programmed to produce the spike protein using MRNA encased in a lipid nanoparticle — they are walking spike factories.

    Each new shot helps increase the production of the toxic spike proteins, destroying internal organs, the immune system, etc.

    The virus is a hoax. The shots kill.

    The end.

      With respect, NO.

      If there was no such thing as a virus, where did the model for the s protein come from?

      I agree with you that it is the s protein which is the agent that the vaxx uses to sicken folks, probably on purpose.

      Did agents of human evil do gain of function research to kill significant numbers of people?

      Absolutely. How did the first six months, the months that many people died from Covid, happen? There was no vaxx, no evil mRNA generated s proteins. Something killed those folks.

      I, for one, believe that Evil in the hearts of a few scientists created an attempt at gain of function on a coronavirus, a common cold agent. They say it is to create agents of defense against viruses.

      BS, if their creations did not exist, there would be no need for vaxxes against them.

      This damn vaxx is the result of a cult of medical R and Ders that have been working on mRNA based delivery systems for decades as a cure for cancers, to change Damaged DNA in cells. Right there should have been a signal that these drugs should have been limited to cancer patients. The model for their operation was well known, and since been proven wrong.

      Oh boy, a panicked Trump White House was salivating when these researchers came in with a “preventive” for the crud clobbering the country at the time. What an opportunity for the researchers, a chance to test their model on a grande scope of people and bypass years of testing. A very hurried trial of 41000 folks and bam, it was approved on an emergency basis. 41000 pre approved folks to “prove” the goodness of the vaxx, a substance that when given to real populations showed the toxicity of the s proteins and the failure of the m RNA model.

      IMHO, work on mRNA should be relegated back to mice until the model of application can be proven as they violate the Hippocrates oath

      First, do no injury!

      BTW, what emergency still exists?

      • Night Owl January 6, 2023 at 1:39 pm #

        The spike protein exists in other viruses from the Corona family.

        No one died from Covid in the first six months. The “virus” had a less than 1% kill rate and it was proven that most of the deaths listed in the NHS and CDC data were listed as died “with” Covid — something I pointed out right at the start.

        To this day, they still don’t even have an actual test for “Covid.”

        As an honest person, you are no match for these devils. They simply called the flu, covid – and they got away with it.

        Human beings are a petri dish. So much can be found if tested with enough cycles.

        What was the name of that book about the Steal? The Enemy used six dimensions of cheating to create a tangle that can never be unjumbled. When simplicity works, they use simplicity. When complexity is good, they use that. It’s the same thing with Covid. They might well have created something in Wuhan. But to assume they used that everywhere doesn’t follow. They didn’t have to. There were simpler ways: bribery of hospitals, fake tests, and misnaming the flu.

        • GreenAlba January 6, 2023 at 9:48 pm #

          I don’t claim to know one way or the other, but Dr Pierre Kory has written an entire book on ivermectin, including the incontrovertible evidence that it pretty much cures covid.

          So either (a) Dr Kory is a charlatan, or (b) he has no idea what he’s talking about – or (c) ivermectin cures flu. If ivermectin cures flu, it’s odd that no-one has noticed this before.

          Dr Shankara Chetty likewise, apart from writing a book on it.

        There is no emergency anymore.

        Something like 90+% of the population has immunity now.

        The original bioweapon burned through the population in the winter, like all respiratory viruses, and was pretty much gone by summer.

        Then they released the “UK variant” in Dec. 2020 in order to scare people into getting injected.

        Then they released Delta in the summer (the summer???) of 2021, to scare the “hesitant” into getting injected. They also started going after the kids with Delta, telling us that they were somehow vulnerable even though they weren’t in school.

        Next time they say they are going for an enteric virus. I don’t know how they’re going to sell that one. Monkeypox didn’t fly.

        I don’t think we know enough about shedding or how consistently it happens in individuals. There is a view that the children who died of hepatitis last year might have been victims of shedding from their parents (there is at least one paper on immune-mediated hepatitis post Moderna, from ages ago). Also I’ve seen samples of unvaccinated children’s blood with alleged graphene structures in it.

    Another question — maybe not quite as important as the efficacy of Covid vaccinations, but still quite important, is who is winning the Russia- Ukraine War? We don’t know. Western media giants like DW, BBC, CNN, Fox News etc claim brave Ukraine is winning hands down; Russia out of ammo, Russian soldiers are in a state of mutiny, Putin is on his last legs, the Russian army is in full retreat, Ukraine is poised to take back Crimea; great, the $145 billion we’ve spent so far hasn’t been wasted. But in the same segment you’ll hear that the Ukrainian electrical & transportation grids have been totally wrecked and the country is unlivable. Also, on Youtube, programs like the Duran and Col MacGregor interviews give you a total different picture — the Ukrainian army has been ground up into dust and should have surrendered 3 months ago. Who is telling the truth is hard to figure out.

      • Hereward the Woke January 6, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

        We should believe either side. However, as the Russian forces are numerically far superior to those of Ukraine, we can make an educated guess that the Russkies aren’t going to lose this one. Also, the Chinese have their back and they certainly won’t let Russia lose – because if they do, they know that China will be next.

          If Russia wins no more Ukraine not sure if that is a bad thing or a good thing.

      Apparently Russia needs more men on the ground. They will pound Ukraine into the dust, but they will face a vicious and unending guerilla war when they try to take the ground.

      • Mick January 6, 2023 at 2:51 pm #

        I think Russia will only endeavor to occupy the eastern provinces, and the coastline including, of course, Crimea. They may not go for Odessa, although I know they want it. Very important city and area, but it will cost more lives than Russia has to sacrifice.

        I really don’t think Russia will try to take Kiev or any ground west of it.

        • Not_GeorgeT January 6, 2023 at 5:38 pm #

          The stated goal was denazification and demilitarization. I still view it as the plan.

          Paul Craig Roberts has been critical of the early effort, published in Russian media (uncensored as he describes it). The current plan which seems to be a waiting game until the ground freezes to sufficient depth, is the roll over the country. PCR has written they should have started with this mindset, keeping the gloves on would never work. He has a good point.

          There are an additional 75,000 troops in Belaruss positioned for an offense move. Combined with the Russian Federation military this should be enough to accomplish the objectives.

          If the nazi military element is taken out, the remainder might remove the penile piano player as a matter of self-preservation.

          I say the redrawn lines will encompass the east to include Odessa, making what remains a landlocked backwater territory.

          There is talk of the Germans offering Poland ‘territory’ in lieu of ww2 reparations. Interesting ploy. How do they offer something they do not possess? Must be a European thing. It would make the territory smaller.

          We’ll have to wait a bit to find out.

        • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 10:50 am #

          I agree with Mick. Russia will not try to take Kiev. Poland might take Liov, because they stupid like that.

          Russia will remove the embedded Ukie military (now mostly forced conscripts and mercenaries) from the Donbass and set up defensive lines to protect the people from the terrorist death squads the US will set up (just like the Contras and ISIS and Operation Gladio).

          I hope they take Odessa. Putin did mention the people burned alive by the Nazis in Odessa in 2014, and said they will be brought to justtice.
          How can they do that without taking Odessa?

    What Mr Kunstler fails to understand is that the vast majority of doctors now work for hospital corporations, unlike the old days when practitioners were independent contractors. You step out of line with the corporate mindset and you will be punished, ostracized and possibly fired. I dare say most of us would not give up a wonderful salary and benefits to stray from the company line. Mr Kunstler is great at the “ what should be”, but is clueless to the reality of personal situations. Gee, I went to school for eight years, did a one year internship, did a three to five year residency and have an astronomical amount of loans to pay back… hmmm I think I’ll risk being unemployed because of righteous indignation. Homey don’t play that Mr K.

    • Disaffected January 6, 2023 at 10:53 am #

      No, I think he’s taking that into account. The underlying issues remain, however. The corporate connections aren’t going to count for all that much when the shit finally hits the fan. The business people will just say “We aren’t doctors. You can’t blame us.” The doctors will of course say they were “just following orders,” but of course we already know how that ultimately turns out (or at least should turn out), don’t we?

    • neurodoc January 6, 2023 at 11:18 am #

      When I started in medicine in early 80s, 3out of 4 MDs were in solo or small group practice. They saw their own patients if they had to be hospitalized. No one imagined the idea of MBAs or hospitalists in medicine. Fast forward to present: only 1 out of 5 MDs in solo or small groups. 80% in huge groups or working in hospitals with MBAs riding herd over docs and constantly reporting to ‘corporate.’ Hospitalists see your patients in hospital. Corporatism has killed decent medicine and is ultimately responsible for the ills JHK refers to.

      I recall a book from college in the 70s “Small is beautiful.” I didn’t realize then how true that would be now.

      • Woodchuck January 6, 2023 at 12:41 pm #

        You might be interested in Dr. Jennifer Daniels personal story. She was in med school at the University of Pennsylvania, and since Wharton Business School was nearby, she decided to go to Wharton at the same time and get an MBA in hospital administration along with getting her MD. The dean of her med school was furious and told her that if she didn’t leave Wharton immediately she’d be kicked out of med school. Since she’s a genius level black lady who always made A’s in school, she was able to overpower the dean of the med school, who apparently didn’t want any MD’s understanding the business end of medicine. Making a long story short, she finished her MD and MBA degrees in the same year. Had she been a white male, that would NOT have happened.

        Needless to say, nowadays she’s highly critical of our med system and doesn’t recommend very much of any of big pharma’s pills or shots.

        • Jarek January 6, 2023 at 2:00 pm #

          Why needless to say? You mean if she was a white male she’d be in favor of all that – and be a billionaire by now?

            I didn’t read Woodchuck’s post like that at all–not as if a white male student necessarily was in favor of all that, but that he would have been more easily gotten rid of.

          • Woodchuck January 6, 2023 at 5:02 pm #

            Yeah, my point was that if you are a genius level black female who’s made straight A’s all her life, you’ll be able to tell college admins to do things your way, not theirs. If you are black and female you already have things stacked in your favor. If you are a genius with a photographic memory, then things are *really* going to go well for you.

        Our MDs do not need justify here.

        What do you think, people.

        Do you think you can destroy the competitive economy of the USA and the Doctors would not be affected? If you do, you are showing your own stupidity.

        I am a former RN that watched the changes happen to the Docs. Two huge changes happened, Obamacare and the incorporation of tertiary care.

        When I was in RN school, the idea of minimal tertiary care and subsequent home care was being floated about as a new model for health care. Our corporate masters kaboshed that one.

        Then the Hospitalist craze, which turned into the corporate grab for the power of the purse in medicine started. The hospital corporations took away the power of patient coverage from the traditional PCP.

        Then there is Obamacare, that put such fiscal pressure on the hospitals to decrease cost and increase patient satisfaction. The nursing staffs got clobbered with this one and many RNs left, including me. It was mission impossible for MDs and the nursing staffs.

        So, want to blame someone for the debacle.

        Blame your wonder Liberal led Deep State for Obamacare and the Corporate medical establishment for both reacting to the shrinking bucket of dollars that the US economy is.

        You get what you pay for.

        • neurodoc January 6, 2023 at 5:40 pm #

          NO justification needed AZ. The reality is that a majority of doctors under 50 (coming out of med school since the mid 90’s) tend to be spineless pussies who can’t stand up to MBA corporate admin people, esp MD/MBA completely soulless corporate types, and just follow orders. Most are too timid or afraid to tell the nazis to go to hell and then go out on their own and break the ties with corporate medicine, or, I should say medical health care (‘medicine’ itself if a fascinating and endlessly interesting science based endeavor, but ‘medical health care’ is now a morass of lies, scams and endless hustles disguised as policies, procedures and drugs, one ‘must have to live,’ pushed on people with minimal, if any, informed consent).

          I understand the issue of med school loans and family expenses preventing doctors from being responsible to their patients (I was from a working class family and owed 6 figures right out of med school). But myself and many other MDs have found that the public is very supportive of doctors who are independent of corporate entities (e.g. hospital systems) and do not push unnecessary hospitalizations and hospital procedures and aspire to tell them the truth about issues like fake vaxxes, highly toxic metal implants, and drugs with myriad side effects. I have seen that personally.

    • mrs_saj January 6, 2023 at 12:33 pm #

      Docmartin,

      I think Jim understands the pressures and motivations in the medical community very well.

      There is short term risk and long term risk. Most people will try to avoid the short term risk because those consequences are immediate. What if I speak up? What if I get demoted? What if I refuse to get the vaxx? What is I refuse to follow the federal FAUXI treatment protocols? What if I get fired? What i I lose my license? These are all immediate concerns for folks who likely have a lot of school debt and probably have pretty high expectations of what their lifestyle is supposed to be.

      Now for the long term risk. What if I lose a lot of patients following this highly questionable federal treatment protocol? What if I push my GP patients pretty hard to get vaccinated? What if I get sued? What if a lot of my patients have vaxx related side effects? What if I have long term side effects to the vaxx myself? What if the medical industry is found to be fraudulent, recklessly endangering its patients, violating the HIppocratic Oath? What if my now tainted medical license loses its value as the public turns away from medical practitioners?

      The short term, as it always has a way of doing, is now becoming the long term.

      Federal student loans have been the fuel for tuition inflation. Docs often finish medical school with massive debts, making it difficult to do anything but sign on with a hospital. That said, an option is private practice and delayed gratification, which is becoming increasingly rare. Employed physicians sell their souls to the system like Dr. Faustus. Pure evil. It will eventually crash and burn and employed physicians will have no idea what to do.

The usual attempt made by incompetents to obscure their stupidity by claiming “well, we ALL got this one wrong, huh?” No. You weren’t “wrong”, you were manipulative liars. Being mistaken is NOT the same as being coercive,

  30. Miss Demeanor January 6, 2023 at 10:51 am #

    Yes we have not seen the worst of it.

    A parallel metric of interest is the percentage of floor space of the Rx in your local supermarket that has grown from a small closet with a window at the back of the store to 10%+ of the entire footprint of the store and still unable to fill your prescription within a few hours.

    The advent of Ivermectin poses another interesting situation:
    This apparent miracle substance, found in nature, was donated by the discoverer to the public for the good of mankind. It eradicated many common human parasitic illnesses in Africa(where there is no market for expensive, proprietary pharmaceuticals)and was awarded a Nobel prize in 2016. See: River Blindness
    It seems to be a potent anti-parasitic for mammals, yet somehow being relegated to the veterinary industry in the US.
    When it was discovered to be a viable covid treatment, a directive was prescribed to the MSM to ridicule anyone suggesting it for human use and label them as “tin foil hat horse paste” charlatans.
    In an astonishing coincidental vector of events, it has been revealed that FTX(yes, the crypto-Ponzi FTX) donated $18M to a study publicly refuting the effectiveness of Ivermectin.
    This all created a quasi-legal basis for the Covid vaccine circumventing(avoiding costly and lengthy studies) FDA approval and established the assertion that “There were no known alternatives”, even though Ivermectin was known and was FDA approved and had a Nobel prize. This resulted in an Emergency Use Authorization which protects Big Pharma from lawsuits coming from vaccine damage or death.
    Hmmm.
    What if many opportunistic diseases exist because of the vulnerability of an immune system weakened by parasites, which afflict all mammals? And there is a Pharmaceutical industry which makes obscene amounts of money on proprietary drug concoctions treating symptoms and illnesses caused by these diseases?
    We are left with the nagging question:
    What is a parasite? Is it a microscopic organism that robs us of our vitality or is it a corporation that does the same thing?

      Now I go to a local CVS to pick up someone’s prescriptions for her, the pharmacy is always mobbed, and there are several people back there running around trying to keep up with the demand.

            There will be a ‘mass shooting (4 or more shot) no one seems to ask if SSRIs were involved.

            Generally, the stabbings and other assorted was to kill other people get ignored. Just about any object can be made into a weapon.

            With the bioweapon injection firmly in place in much of the population, I’d like the question ask regarding vaxx status as well, as the so called ‘brain fog’ appears to be real.

        Why is everyone on some kind of prescription or other? BofO

        ===============

        There are 3 of us in this household, myself (age 82), wife (age 73), and Peter (age 76). I take 4 meds at Breakfast and 3 at dinner. My two main issues are high blood pres and frequent peeing due to enlarged prostrate (as Peter calls it). My Blood Pres is under control. The peeing issue will never be solved but at least my bladder hasn’t exploded.

        Wife, Bo, takes 3 pills at breakfast, only one of which is a prescription (cholesterol, I think). The other two are pills she imagines she needs, a calcium supplement and an antihistamine. Then at dinner she takes another calcium pill.

        Peter takes 6 pills at breakfast, 1 at lunch, and 8 at dinner. I don’t pretend to understand what all these meds do but Bo is convinced that her brother would be dead without them and without us there to enforce his taking them. Peter’s efforts to avoid swallowing pills are the stuff of legend.

        Peter had quintuple bypass heart surgery many years ago. He had an extra special defib device installed in his chest a year ago. He has had stents put in a few times. He has perpetual stomach/intestinal tract issues plus head aches. His dementia which shows itself by near instantaneous short-term memory loss is almost laughable. For example: Yesterday Bo returned to the kitchen after delivering Peter’s breakfast to the third floor and I asked “how’s he doin'”. She said “he’s OK but he took a dump in the toilet and didn’t flush it.” I asked her “did you confront him about it?” She said “yes, but he said he forgot.”

        The gist of this story is that, contrary to what you may think, dementia can even make you forget to flush a dump down the toilet. Who would have thought!?

        I get my meds from Rite Aid and I have no problem with them. In fact in the past 2 days they did something new that worked just fine. They advised me by text message that I had certain meds with refills that they calculate are just about due. If I want them filled I should press 1, if not press 2. I pressed 1 and got a phone message the next day advising that the meds were ready for pick-up.

      What is a parasite? Well, let’s use a very broad interpretation of the word. “Parasite” is a good tern to apply to our “health care system”. At the moment, it’s sucking down around 20% of the nation’s GDP each year, and it’s giving us nothing or even negative returns. Once the host is dead, the parasite will have to die or go elsewhere to another country.

        Uh, whose fault is that? Medicines or the public requesting service.

        In the days of arguing about insurance, I always made the statement that healthcare is a monopoly and therefore could never be considered free market. It is more like a utility and needs to be regulated. This is the only time I have advocated regulatory control of anything. However, like utilities, regulated by elected commission and no governmental politics.

          I got some last year – cost me a fortune. They allegedly cost about £0.02 per pill to manufacture. Mine cost me £480 for 120 pills (I thought I’d get enough for all my family in case anyone got the lurgi, but no-one would take it, although they were fine taking the clot shot, because the clot shot came with healh service approval).
          I’ve only taken them a couple of times – once as a prophylactic when I was visiting one of my daughters who allegedly had covid.
          I might order some more, before they’re either ‘disappeared’ altogether, become even more expensive, or are tampered with.
          I plan to buy Dr Kory’s Ivermectin book when it comes out next month. I believe there is some evidence that it may help with cancer, and I think it can help with some post-vaxx issues, since it binds to the spike protein.

    • Anthea January 6, 2023 at 8:21 pm #

      @ Miss Demeanor:

      I’ve read quite a bit of stuff on the possible connection between cancer and parasites. Dr. Hulda Clark, in her book, “The Cure for All Cancers,” says straight-out that cancer is caused by parasites. Her protocol for cancer treatment is a parasite cleanse.

      I happened to hear of this book because one of my neighbors said that he cured his own cancer with this protocol, and he originally heard of it from a co-worker who also claimed to have cured his cancer this way. Yet another neighbor claimed that the protocol cured her dog of cancer.

      There have also been studies showing that an anthelminthic (de-wormer) drug used in veterinary medicine can cure cancer. The drug is Fenbendazole. Karl Denninger mentioned this on Ticker Forum, but it’s been some time ago.

          @ jim e:

          I’ve done the gallbladder cleanse several times. (I think that’s what you mean by a “liver cleanse.”) Many years ago I went to the doctor because of a feeling of fullness and heaviness in the gallbladder area, which is on the right side of the abdominal cavity just below the ribcage. The doctor said is was probably my gall bladder and suggested a sonogram.

          I didn’t even know where my gallbladder was, at the time, until the doctor told me. But I did know about the gallbladder cleanse. So I did a couple of cleanses and that took care of the problem.

          A few years later, I developed much more extreme symptoms of gallbladder trouble–though with no pain. Classic gallbladder symptoms include disordered bowels, to the point where you might as well forget about wearing pants, as you would have to change them every 20 minutes.

          I thought I had food poisoning, but a friend of mine provided the correct diagnosis. The reason she knows so much about it is because gallbladder trouble is common in her family.

          So I did a gallbladder cleanse, and this cured the problem.

          My friend warned me that some of her family members had tried the gallbladder cleanse and wound up in the ER, but I wasn’t too worried about that, as I had done the cleanse before. Basically, a gallbladder cleanse is where you fast for half a day, take a couple of doses of Epsom Salts, and drink a cup of salad dressing (olive oil and grapefruit juice). It is not a big deal.

          If you have gallbladder trouble, you probably don’t need surgery. Directions for the cleanse are online, but I would use Dr. Hulda Clark’s version of the cleanse–which is also in her book, in case you also need to cure cancer or get rid of your kidney stones.

            Do you mean this gallbladder problem causes a case of “the shits,” aka “the trots?”

            I’m asking in regard to Peter. There has been no mention from his doctor about gallbladder problems.

            Peter thinks his pills are making him feel sick and he is doing all sorts of devious things to NOT take them.

        Doctors in the US are untrained when it comes to diagnosing parasites. One of my daughters had a parasitology professor in college who told a story about having an illness that he knew was caused by parasites, but he could not get his doctor to diagnose or treat it. So the parasitology professor drew his own blood and grew his own culture to prove to his doctor that that was the problem.

        I have never taken a parasitology class, but apparently it is an eye-opener. My daughter who took the class was a changed woman forever after. She was always a clean-freak, but she became a germaphobe after that.

      Bill of Rights,

      I have not read anything on insurance companies lately. About a month ago, I summarized the quarterly conference call here, for Lincoln National Insurance Co. They are in real trouble. Their stock price dropped by 30% the day of the conference call. Deaths (and thus life insurance claims) are up. And there was this weird little unexpected wrinkle that the normal rate of customers walking away from policies (and thus letting the insurance company off the hook of paying a future claim) is not happening at all. People are keeping their life insurance policies at unexpectedly high rates and Lincoln National can’t set aside money fast enough in preparation for the higher occurrence of future claims.

      Pfizer and our government had Twitter censor those reporting the facts about the vaccine. Several government officials told the lie that if you were vaccinated, you would not get covid. They knew that wasn’t true, and they also knew that the NFL was forcing the shot on its players to stop the spread of covid.

      So, they blocked the truth about the shots, so they could go on putting our most physically fit young men at risk of death or disability, for no public benefit.

      They need to pay for what they have done.

      • Anthea January 6, 2023 at 9:05 pm #

        Yes, JHK’s call for “repentance” is inadequate. The crimes involved here are mass murder and the infliction of severe bodily injury. Some of the people who committed these crimes knew exactly what they were doing. Others (doctors) had an obligation to know. They also had an obligation to know that Remdesivir and ventilators were harmful and that Ivermectin and other treatments were beneficial. The refusal to treat patients with covid until they were hospitalized was criminal negligence.

        It seems to me that the latter would amount to manslaughter through criminal negligence.

        From wikipedia: “[Criminal negligence] occurs where death results from serious negligence, or, in some jurisdictions, serious recklessness. A high degree of negligence is required to warrant criminal liability. A related concept is that of willful blindness, which is where a defendant intentionally puts themselves in a position where they will be unaware of facts which would render them liable.

        “Criminally negligent manslaughter occurs where there is an omission to act when there is a duty to do so, or a failure to perform a duty owed, which leads to a death. The existence of the duty is essential because the law does not impose criminal liability for a failure to act unless a specific duty is owed to the victim. It is most common in the case of professionals who are grossly negligent in the course of their employment.”

    That is very interesting, Jim, that part about your PC not mentioning the “vaccines” lately.

    I am not so fortunate. Here where I live in SE PA, the largest “health care system” (of which I am a member) is still pushing the vaccines and the boosters HARD.

    In fact, my yearly “Wellness Checks” (I am a Medicare subscriber) have become confrontational enough that I have chosen to skip the trama for this year. I’m in good enough health that I think I can do this without harm to myself.

    • Islander January 6, 2023 at 4:41 pm #

      I have always found teh “wellness checks” to be a scam, at leaste as carried out.

      The wellness check is supposed to be free or at most $60, covered by Medicare. But once you show up for the “free” check, even if you stipulate, this is the wellness check, right?—forget about it. The practitioner does all she/he can to beef up the bill way past the basic wellness check by sking dumb question, ordering a bunch of tests, doing stuff you didn’t ask for. Every question (“So how is the old ticker doing?”) is another line item on the bill!. The idea that the PCP would give you 20 minutes of her time for a fixed fee, or do the prescribed wellness check in 5 or 10 minutes is off the table. They have to spend at least 15 ins staring at their computer trying to remember who you are . . . .

      I finally contacted Medicare about this and asked what was going on with this wellness check? I was told that I should appeal the bill within the stipulated time for appeals and state that you should be charged only for the wellness check and you want a new bill to be sent to you and Medicare.

    I had a nurse as a customer at my shop about a month ago. She was “retired” but works as a contractor and said she only had to take around 4-5 shifts to achieve the monthly income she needed. She said the hospitals are bleeding money everywhere and that the traveling nurse situation has gotten out-of-hand. A lot of the travelers have only 1-2 years experience and so lots of mistakes are being made. The doctor situation is not much better and basically she says there is a loss of legacy knowledge about how things are done.

    She said do not go to a hospital if you are sick.

    Did you know at its peak in the late 19th century there were 22 homeopathic medical schools and more than 100 homeopathic hospitals in the U.S?

    Did you know allopathy was coined to describe anything that was not homeopathy?

    Allopathy and its attendant clinics, hospitals, doctors and nurses have just been a particular money-making syndicate promoted in the culture over the last century or more to dominate not only health but life.

    It does not cure as it would run out of “customers”. It should die.

  39. mrs_saj January 6, 2023 at 11:46 am #

    Great post today, Jim. I could live another 100 years and yet I will never trust the medical profession again. Did those hospital administrators never consider what would happen to their own staffs (and their own hospitals) if Covid shots were mandated to work in healthcare?

    I will not discuss my Covid vaccine status with any healthcare provider. I went in to my September 2021 annual check up prepared to do battle. I decided in advance I was fine with the office refusing to keep the appointment if I did not answer their questions. At the time, my husband thought I was a paranoid lunatic. Now, he only thinks I’m half crazy.

    The nurse who checked me did all the normal stuff, weigh in, blood pressure, are you taking any medications?, AND she had a new question! Have you had the Covid Vaccine? I gave my prepared answer.

    “I will not answer any questions about Covid vaccines. When the government demands to know the status of all your patients, this office will hand over the information without question. Its a political football. First people were told they were selfish and unpatriotic if they didn’t take the shots. Now we are starting to hear about the damage and death caused by these shots. It will become difficult for many people to get life insurance. Therefore, I refuse to answer.”

    She just looked at me, never saying a word, finished checking me , and I had the appointment as scheduled.

    The following year, September 2022, I wasn’t asked anything about clot shots. Whether this is because they no longer ask or because my chart is marked “Conservative Wackadoodle” I don’t know.

    I go to the dentist more often, and I have tangled with them on numerous occasions. They gave out a new patient questionnaire which of course has a Covid vaxx question on it. I left it blank and they came out and asked me to answer it.

    “Do you see both unvaccinated and vaccinated patients?”

    “Yes.”

    “Do you follow the same procedures and protocols for both types of patients?”

    “Yes.”

    “Then you have no need to know my vaccine status.”

    –Absolute silence. She went back behind the desk. No one in the waiting room said a word to me.

    —————————————————–
    I am not a brave person. I have no military training. I do have very little tolerance for bullshit and an ever evolving sense of skepticism about a lot of things. For some reason, like so many of you here, I decided I wasn’t going along with the program.

    • TaxDonkey January 6, 2023 at 12:48 pm #

      Agreed. Normally I would be happy to tell them I’m not jabbed. However, you don’t know if they’re going to turn around and do something stupid, like deny you treatment because you didn’t get the stupid shot.

      • Hockeyguy January 6, 2023 at 1:41 pm #

        When my dentist office asked me back at an appointment in 2021 if I was vaxxed, I said “I’m not sure how that’s relevant to anything, but no. I’m not.”

        They didn’t say anything else and my appointments since then have been (relatively) normal.

      It shouldn’t take any extraordinary level of courage to refuse to reveal ones vaccine status–or refuse to wear a mask. But it turns out that it does.

      My favorite replies when asked or pressured to wear a mask were, “No thank you,” “I don’t play that,” and, “Or else what?’

      I’ve never been asked about my vax status, but I suppose I would reply the same way I would if someone asked me about my real hair color: “I don’t want to talk about it.”

      Stelmosfire, the situation in your case is does not reflect 100% profit to your insurance company. In the insurance business there is a term which is called the “cost of insurance”, which reflects the fact that it costs the insurance company money to provide you the insurance which your policy promises; it is not “free” to the insurance company. So you, lucky you, managed to outlive your 30 year policy. But some policy owners died the first year their policy was in force, and the insurance company had to pay their beneficiaries thousands of dollars (the face amount of their policy) even though the year’s worth of premiums paid by the person insured my have amounted to only a few hundred dollars. Years ago I actually worked as an actuary for an insurance company. We had a joke about life insurance; you’ve got to die early to win!

    Here is my latest medical horror story. I went to the hospital three times for an Entyvio infusion for Crohn’s disease. My co-payment was $3,489. I found Entyvio Connect who would cover the co-payment. They needed all these weird numbers for the claim form. I reached out to the hospital and sent them the documents and they said they would file it. In the meantime, I was paying the hospital $300 a month. In December, I called Entyvio Connect and no claims had been filed. I spend half a day on the internet chasing down the numbers I needed for the claim form. The hospital could have done it in ten minutes.
    The hospital could have been paid months ago if they had sent in the claim form. Instead they have me paid $300 a month and they finally sent me to collections.
    In the meantime, my gastro doctor left. They called me yesterday to set me up with someone new. I declined. I can’t deal with a business who would rather have me pay $300 a month instead of helping me get the co-payment fully paid through the drug manufacturer.
    The ironic part of all this is I had great results from the drug. If you can’t afford to take it, it doesn’t do you any good.

      If they don’t have a billing code for the thing you ask them to do, the untrained girl in charge of billing won’t do it, and she won’t tell you she didn’t do it either.

      Toll-like Receptors (TLR’s) are a class of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system; said system becoming deficient by a factor of 5% per month after the initial delivery of the A1 spike protein ‘payload’. As a consequence thereof, this system is destroyed by a factor of 60% within one year, and completely absent in 20 months.

      In addition to the above (as a back drop), and, among the countless other mechanisms of injury thus-far discovered, there is also the programmed down-regulation of specific Toll-like Receptors.

      Think of them as being like a tollbridge; thus the name.

      These receptors are extraordinarilly vigilant at the first appearance of anything ‘not of the body’, including also any and all precancerous cells [displasia] — anywhere in the body.

      To wit, ‘not of the body’ any more? . . .Off with their heads!

      Out they go!!

      Unfortunately, a glycoprotein of the A1 spike has been programmed to specifically ‘downregulate’ [read ‘turn off] Toll-like receptors TLR4 and TLR7.

      TLR4 and TLR7 were designed by God specifically to rid the body of still-benign precancerous cells before they proceed towards malignancy.

      This is the mechanism whereby cancer’s which had previously been ‘under control’ can no longer be controlled — ever again– all by design.

      Don’t shoot the messenger please.

    Many years ago I learned the meaning of the Hebrew term “Moloch” by reading JHK’s semi-weekly opera. The way that Covid and the vaccines and the boosters are being “handled” currently brings to mind the definition of a Moloch; A creature/thing which demands your fealty and the only acceptable method to demonstrate one’s fealty is to sacrifice something precious to you as an offering to the Moloch. The Carthaginians sacrificed their precious children as offerings to their gods, which was anathema to the Hebrews. One’s health is indeed precious too.

    • Jarek January 6, 2023 at 2:23 pm #

      They loved their children but it had to be done. Just as people in other civilizations had to be sacrificed to the Sun.

      Our Civilization is all about Child Sacrifice. Our God? Feminine convenience and freedom from responsibility.

All the people who not only don’t care but support a stolen election, a socialist takeover and destruction of their republic, deep-state censorship, social media re-education and propaganda initiatives, and all the employees behind it?
    Tech employees, fed employees, politicians, doctors, “journalists”, educators?

    Nobody cares. Has anyone noticed?
    Nobody cares and there is nothing you can do.

    Because the “public” is gone.

    The drug-industrial complex can die and rot in hell. However, the potential loss of advanced surgical procedures developed by western medicine could be tragic.

    Hmmm. “The trend appeared to start with the unnatural deaths of professional athletes dropping dead on their playing fields.” The only two I’ve heard of are the Bill’s safety last week and the Danish soccer player well over a year ago? A trend? Athletes have been dropping dead due to cardiac genetic abnormalities as long as sports have existed. This is not a trend but more artistic license.

    And reports in early 2022 for the period preceding showing death rates were abnormally high during a pandemic with a novel virus that also has deleterious cardia effects proves nothing.

    I do agree that more research should be done wrt after effects of Covid as well as Covid vaccines, but you seem to already have conclusion written without any of that. Cha-ching. Bring on that Patreon heroin.

    This recent paper from Dr. Polykretis and myself gets the sharp rise in athlete deaths into PUBMED. Since vaccination, “1598 athletes suffered cardiac arrest, 1101 of which with deadly outcome. Over a prior 38-years (1966-2004), 1101 athletes < age of 35 died (~29/yr).

    “How about your doctors? Do you wonder what they’ve learned? Or if they’ve learned anything.”

    I get to see a pulmonologist every year to make sure my sarcoidosis is under control. A couple months ago, I saw a new doctor for the third straight year. This guy is the new head of the pulmonology department. He presumed I’ve been a good boy and have gotten my shots. He said hes read the literature and KNOWS Covid came from eating infected animals because nobody has replicated the disease in a lab. He went on to say that, while the first shots were effective, they were only effective against the initial Covid; as time has passed and mutations have developed, the shots are less effective. He said we’ll never be able to stop wearing face diapers until such time that Covid is sufficiently weak and enough people have taken shots that it’s no longer a concern. “That’s why God gave us two arms: One for the annual flu shot, and one for your Covid booster.” No, I did not get either shot.

          Got a lot of this medication when wife got sick and tested positive. She had a really nasty cough and sore throat. I got to thinking that if it went down in her lungs it would be really bad, so I hopped on it. Wanted to be proactive instead of reactive. She got over it before the meds even arrived ( had to be mailed). It was expensive and unnecessary, but I didn’t know that at the time.

          I never had the sore throat, it just stayed up in my head. Maybe it was just a cold. Who knows what the tests really mean. You read opinions saying covid doesn’t even exist to it’s going to kill you. A doctor told my wife that she was going to die is she didn’t get the jab months ago. I just try to hedge my bets and follow my gut. Sure can’t rely on the medical establishment, that’s for sure.

      Patents issued by the U. S. Patent Office; said patents thereafter having been utilized in the manufacturing of this bioweapon as overseen by the U. S. Department of Defense, were issued as far back as 1974.

      Some of the latest patents related thereto were issued to Ralph S. Baric, Phd at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His lab used Coronaviruses as models to study the genetics of RNA virus functions.

          Ralph Baric’s research at Chapel Hill, as pertaining to gain-of-function research [read bioweapon development] utilizing coronavirus’s, had been shut down by the Obama Administration; or so the public had been led to believe.
          As a result thereof, his *ongoing* research of same was conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He collaborated with the Director of the Wuhan BSL4 Lab — Dr. Zhengli Shi, PhD, in the creation of the ‘HKU Spike’ component of the bioweapon.
          (see Journal of Virology, Zhengli Shi, Ralph S. Baric, et. al publication date 06-10-2015). It would be remiss of me to not also mention, that the ‘offshoring’ of the bioweapon to Wuhan for it’s final development, had been (at *that* time) surreptitiously ‘overseen’ by Dr. Peter Daczik (sp) of Ecohealth Alliance.

        Yeah, good guy criminals never get any letters from women. They love the bad boys! White cop killing Mau Mau Mumia was deluged by endless women offering themselves. But the Bruders Schweigen? Not one!

        In the new America, should we reinstitute the Cult of Sacred Prostitution? All women having to offer themselves up at least once during their lives? Of course the truly pious will do so many times. And the most pious will live at the Temple and do so full time.

        Normal women and better! Not horrid skanks like prostitutes are today. It is said that many of sacred temple prostitutes retired and went on to become wives and mothers. Truly a very different civilization. A better one in some ways…..

        • Anthea January 8, 2023 at 7:12 pm #

          @ Jarek:

          You probably couldn’t afford a high quality cult prostitute anyway. Those Cults of Sacred Prostitution were not charity organizations either. They were fund-raisers for the temples–kind of like very high-end bake sales.

          High quality prostitutes may be found today. An enterprising person could probably engage the services of a very fine mistress. She would require a lavish allowance, which would most likely include the rent on a separate domicile, as she would almost certainly not agree to live with you, and living expenses. You might even have to buy her a condo.

          I must admit that my opportunity to observe these arrangements is limited to gay men. I’ve known two gay men who enjoyed such arrangements. One received a lavish allowance; the other got a condo out of the deal.

          The price of a high-quality prostitute has probably remained as stable over the centuries as the price of a high-quality suit of clothes, which is said to be one ounce of gold. The cost of a temple prostitute in the days of yore was probably much the same as it is today. I think we can be pretty sure that the temples of yore were not under-pricing the merchandise.

          If you can’t afford such services today, you couldn’t have afforded them then, either.

          Interestingly, the Emperor Claudius engaged the services of a prostitute over a period of many years. They were (according to the book, “I Claudius”), good friends, and she acted as a shrewd advisor to Claudius. In Ancient Rome, prostitution was a profession in its own right, somewhat like plaçage in the French and Spanish colonies of the Old South. These arrangements, as with Claudius’s, amounted to a form of extra-legal marriage.

          Bottom line: You can’t afford such an arrangement.

        It does look as thought the conservative wing of the party got some concessions that might actually make a difference, such as chairmanship of some important committees.

        Come to think of it, isn’t this kind of how coalition building takes place in parliamentary democracies—in order to build the coalition, the coalition leader must give certain ministries to minority but needed parties.

        That is how the Greens in Germany got both Defense (Baerbeck) and Economics .(Habeck), right?

        IMO *anything* that differentiates the GOP from the Dems is better than nothing. And maybe we are seeing first moves toward creation of a significant power block within the Repug party—-maybe as close to a Third Party as our system is capable of?

        Just wondering.

    NY Post

    A 25-year-old former college soccer player suspected of savagely attacking a 78-year-old man on a train platform in Oregon — and chewing off his ear and part of his face — told cops he believed the victim was a killer robot, according to prosecutors.

    Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced Wednesday that Koryn Kraemer has been arraigned on a second-degree assault charge stemming from the grisly incident that took place the day before at a light-rail train station in the Portland suburb of Gresham.

    The victim was standing on the Cleveland Avenue TriMetMAX platform at around 2 a.m. Tuesday when Kraemer, who was allegedly drunk and high on fentanyl and marijuana, approached the elderly man and proceeded to gnaw on his face.

    Jarek: The kid knew he was a robot by his smell. But he also said that he was saving the man from the robot. As John says of Big Pharma, This doesn’t make sense!

    The man’s skull was exposed by the attack. Was the skull bone or metallic?

      That’s the same train platform where, last week, a vaunted ‘Homeless Woman’ picked up a 3 year old girl and tossed her onto the tracks. Luckily some brave soul responded and saved the little one.

    “The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine.”

    Once trust is lost it is very difficult to ever get it back. Sometimes it is impossible to get it back.

    The Medical Profession has deeply and permanently disgraced itself. It has broken trust with the Public and surrendered its once respected place in society.

    And let’s be honest. Most Medical professionals today don’t believe they have done anything wrong. Part of the Doctor-Patient dynamic has been that doctors have near god-like status and patients are mere mortals in the presence of heavenly greatness.

    That silly and bogus picture has been shredded forever. Medical people have exposed themselves to be deeply flawed humans with a lust for money and power and apparently little else. Not all of course. But all the ‘good’ ones have either already been forced out of the profession or will be ushered out shortly.

    Once you have fallen off such a high perch… good luck ever trying to get back up there. And maybe that’s a good thing since we found out the profession does not deserve respect and it’s once high status from the public.

    Narcissistic money whores with delusions of godhood. We already had enough of those kind in the political, financial, corporate, educational, and religious realms. Now we have them wearing the white coats and fake smiles to shield their deep darkness within and their bad intentions toward us.

    We the People must work to develop a new kind of health industry that returns to the core principle of Doing No Harm and one that works to promote and not harm public health. And some of the cancelled medical pros can lead us in forming such a new (old) social and medical pact with the public. Let the Medical Industrial Complex rot away in a heap of its own soiled gloves and stinky medical waste. Let’s have true professionals that care about the health and welfare of people. Yes, it’s possible and necessary.

    We do not need any apologies from the Medical Whores. We shouldn’t believe them anyway. What we need is for them to just go away and clear the field for those who treat human life as paramount and who will not sell their souls to the devils of the CDC, WHO, Big MotherEffing Pharma, and other agencies based in bowls of Hell.

    We were wrong about the Devil. He doesn’t wear a red suit. He wears a White Coat and sickly smile. And he has a medical degree on the wall.

    And Devils never repent. And we should never forgive.

    Jesus, I finally caught up with reading all the comments as of 5:02 pm. I wanted to make sure nobody had raised the same issue that has been bothering me all day. Namely this:

    Yesterday when I tried to access the CFN blog I got a message saying sorry for the inconvenience but we are undergoing scheduled site maintenance but wait just a bit, we’ll be back soon (these were the approximate words).

    I tried all day and evening and continued to get the same message. Later, around 9, 10 or 11 pm I got something that looked like a messed up version of the usual CFN site but it was offset to the right and there was no way to get to the blog essay or comments.

    I wanted to post some comments so instead I went to a Word type screen and typed up a bunch of misc comments and saved them until CFN would return to normal at which point I would copy and paste one after the other into CFN.

    Well that never happened and I went to bed around midnight wondering what would happen around 9:30 am when Jim would typically post his Friday essay.

    Lo and behold I accessed CFN this morning and everything appeared normal. The first thing I did was go back to the Monday Jan 2nd comments section to see if any new comments had been added and there were… about a half dozen of them mostly with a time stamp of January 5, 2023 between 9 and 10 pm.

    How can this be!?!? Did anyone else have a similar experience?

    I will now review my saved misc comments and if I believe they are still relevant I’ll post them today.

    • MaryQueen January 6, 2023 at 6:03 pm #

      I had a similar experience, although I never saw the new messed up site. Just the maintenance ‘cover’. And I still see it unless I open the site in another browser and copy the URL in this one. I think it’s a cache thing.

    You will recall that Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field Monday night in the first qtr of a pro football game. He appeared for all the world to have dropped dead. He was taken to the hospital in “critical condition.” Later that night Hamlin’s “Marketing Agent” put out word that Damar’s “vitals are back to normal.”

    First of all I was unaware that relatively unknown players had their own marketing agents. I assumed this guy (his name is Jordan Rooney) was a spokesman for the whole team but apparently not.

    The whole bit about Damar’s vitals having returned to normal has disappeared down the memory whole. I’ve been reading everything on this collapse incident and nowhere does the word “vitals” appear. Likewise there has been no mention of a possible connection of the collapse with Hamlin’s vaxx status. To even express such a thought might open a giant can of worms.

    • Disaffected January 6, 2023 at 6:38 pm #

      There has been, however, mention about “the nutters” imagining the incident was possibly caused by his vaxx status.

      He’s supposedly breathing on his own now, so he’ll no doubt be sainted prior to the SB. If Buffalo were to win it all (Could the games even be fixed to ensure it? Hmm…), I have no doubt they’ll rig up a video feed (at the very least) so that he can present the championship trophy to the owner, coach, and MVP during the post-game Bacchanalia. Maybe they’ll even re-name it after him? Endless possibilities!

            It’s part of the shoulder pads, which extend down to cover most of the chest.

            And in this case, no one was running at him at breakneck speed. The WR Tee Higgins caught the ball, the safety Hamlin was already on him, wrapped him up, and “wrestled him to the ground.” Higgins actually took by far the worst of it, but even that was nothing at all. It was routine in every respect.

            I do know that 100% of the Buffalo Bills were/are vaxxed. How many have been boosted, I don’t know.

            The NFL surprisingly did allow for a player to not be vaxxed, but he had to agree to daily testing as a consequence. If ever positive then he’d have to observe the current CDC protocol, which at the time was two weeks quarantine away from the team. Only very few players, such as Aaron Rodgers, said no to the vaxx.

            @ Q.: Yes, Rogers apparently got away with one, there. Never heard if they made made him vaxx up after the fact when he admitted that he took an alternative “vaxx equivalent.” But I assume they’re still enforcing it on the rest.

            The whole thing amounted to virtue signaling and “support for the man” on the NFL’s part, as they’re the official PR Dept for the MIC, who also forced the vaxx on its military members.

            And these are “skill position” pads, so they’re the lightest, most maneuverable pads of all. Still quite protective, as you can easily see. QBs even add on a flak jacket around their abdomen, due to the actual hard helmet to midsection hits they take routinely.

            No QBs with blow-induced heart attacks yet that I’ve ever heard of, although Chris Simms did lose a spleen a few years back and almost died due to internal blood loss and a slow diagnosis. And of course Alex Smith damn near died and lost a leg due to complications from a radial fracture of the lower leg after that. That’s the one where your foot remains planted, and your whole leg gets torqued radially, literally splintering the bone(s) into shards. Interestingly enough, in neither case did they cancel a single game. I wonder if those guys don’t deserve compensation now?

        Disaffected: “There has been, however, mention about “the nutters” imagining the incident was possibly caused by his vaxx status.”

        There are SO MANY questions today that we are not allowed to ask and so many things we are not allowed to do and so many things we are not allowed to believe in a ‘Free Country!’ that it’s getting impossible to remember them all. The growth industry for 2023: Things You Cannot Think Or Do In a Free Country.

        “If Buffalo were to win it all (Could the games even be fixed to ensure it? Hmm…)…”

        The story even larger than the unfortunate player’s circumstance is the High Holy State that the ‘National Football League!’ now has in The Indispensable Nation. Listen to much of the commentators sharing deep meditative speculation and consultation over whether a game will be resumed and how all this will affect everyone and the ‘Billion Dollar Business of Football that must go on!’

        This ‘Game’ has been raised above Cabinet Level in United States Incorporated Government flow charts. It has taken on a sickly oversized and undeserved place of importance in the National Consciousness not to mention giving all these globalist billionaire owners a constant stream of obscene profits at the expense of financially-hurting Americans.

        This ‘League’ has been exalted to the level of Priesthood and the Games being weekly Holy Sacraments. And the Players are the Disciples courageously carrying forth The Faith.

        There is a Game going on much bigger than ‘the games’ with this ‘League’. And They are winning big time… and We the People are losing just as badly.

        But as has been said… you can’t take advantage of people unless they agree to it.

        So while misguided young men continue to jeopardize their physical and mental health and futures for our National amusement and Dark State deflection from things that are actually important… and the Owners rake in those big big profits… let’s not think about any of that and just wait for the next Kickoff.

        And enjoy all those nachos as our new National communion wafers.

    JHK – This is exactly what I said to a family member two years ago…the last time I discussed this topic in detail with him or any family/friends. He hung up on me mid-sentence – a first in my 45 years. He’s a PhD, his wife is an MD, her dad is an MD, her brothers are MDs.

    He was pushing for us to get the shot, stating that they were “concerned about us”. Asking why I didn’t want it, I let slip that I felt the scientific/medical community had done itself a great disservice through the covid ordeal, destroying decades of trust that had once been a given.

    He took it personally. They all will, especially if they jabbed their own kids. I love him, we get along very well, but we do not discuss this topic. I don’t expect it to be an easy trip back to trust from either end. In the end, I didn’t do this. They did.

    Another Health Care System Is Possible

    As people begin to realize that the health care, pharmaceutical, and private and government industries are not serving them, groups are working independently without the support or resources of the state to give care where it is needed. For them, there is no lobbying for the next health care plan or waiting for bills to pass. There is just direct action and building dual power–the concept that communities are served by and responsible to themselves. There is no hierarchy and no reliance on the state for grants and oversight.

    As with many dual power organizations, we see more forming outside of the US. Some, like the Self-Organized Health Structure of Exarchia (ADYE) in Greece, were born out of the economic crisis and growing illegitimacy of the government. Within the largely leftist Athens neighborhood of Exarchia, a community grew as an anarchist hub for those who wished to resist oppression by police, and increasingly from fascist groups…

    Health care without the state and corporate insurance can happen, but implementation necessitates small steps. It requires evidence of success to take away the fear of abandoning a system of health care delivery that’s been in place for over seventy years. As people realize they can receive quality and affordable health care without worrying about swinging pendulums of reform, and without the undue influence and persistent failures of federal and private insurance companies, the state loses legitimacy and the working class gains power…

    Current anarchist health care workers can encourage an increase in radical professionals by mentoring and teaching students and those interested in medical work. Those with training can provide street medic training and free first aid classes for underserved communities. There is also a need for a revolutionary faction in current unions and creation of new, nonhierarchical patient and worker unions. 

    Secondly, we need money to pay for services and supplies. This is unfortunately an all too common reality in the capitalist system. As health care services for the working class are increasingly underfunded or eliminated, we can no longer assume that Medicaid and Medicare will always be available. The push for privatization will likely cause for-profit health insurance companies to become the only option for most Americans. However, people can give funds directly for care instead of to insurance companies who siphon it directly into their profits. 

    Here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the Amish practice a ‘from each according to ability and to each according to need’ approach to medical payments. While they are a religious order and not Marxist, they are collectivist and care for each other. Individuals and families contribute to a liability insurance fund based on assets and income. This fund, combined with contributions from the church, proceeds from fundraisers, and discounts negotiated with local providers, pays for the entirety of community members’ hospital bills…

    Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, is our need to build anarchist networks to create a viable health care system. Any alternative to the current health care system is going to start slowly and locally. One clinic in Philadelphia may inspire another in Pittsburgh. They share ideas on what works with interested anarchists in Cleveland, who then talk with an anarchist nurse they know in San Francisco. This is how revolutionary change happens. 

    As a primary goal, Medicare for All is reformist and not revolutionary. Universal health care is a temporary solution under the current capitalist health care system, but anarchists can reach for a genuinely socialized system based on self-management and cooperation. We know what kind of health care services our communities need. When we have doctors, nurses and other practitioners working together in a decentralized environment, providing care directly to patients without worry of insurance co-pays, this is where we build power. And no one can take that away.”  ~ Sara Miller

        The Great Gibber Plain

        You seem to have that backwards that the ideologies of some limited set of elites will, through deceit, deception, indoctrination, coercion and threats, etc., make the rest submit over the long haul.

        How’s that working out?

        Anarchy is less about ideology and more about a simple and reasonable response to being stuck in a abusive relationship.

        It says, here is the problem and here is the solution. That reasonableness doesn’t always work with many abusers (duh) doesn’t make the reasonable response any less reasonable. That’s a logical fallacy. If anything, the abuse underscorse it by glaring contrast.

        ——

        Hypothetical scenario:

        Jarek’s partner: “I want to leave our relationship because you are abusive and find another that is not.”

        Jarek: “Ooh, oh, you are an ideological fool! I will stalk you and shoot or beat you if you try to leave and/or threaten you/your new partner wherever you go! So see how that works for you and how it has worked for others in a similar situation!”

        Jarek’s partner: “Byeeee…”

        ——

        As you may recall, last year, I decided to take a listen to Midnight Oil’s work, since I never got into them. While I like less than was hoped, I like maybe 20% of their tunes…

        One of them is The Great Gibber Plain. It’s a strummy guitar sort of tune, the lyrics of which include this passage of note:

        “We’re free to secede.”

    Abstract

    In this paper I will argue that a number of well known health interventions or initiatives could be considered anarchist, or at the very least are consistent with anarchist thinking and principles. In doing this I have two aims; first, anarchism is a misunderstood term, by way of example I hope to first sketch out what anarchist solutions in health and healthcare could look like. Second I hope to show how anarchist thought could stand as a means to improve the health of many, remedying health inequalities acting as a buffer for the many harms that threaten health and wellbeing. On this second point I will argue that there are a number of theoretical and instrumental reasons why greater engagement with anarchism and anarchist thinking is needed, along with how this could contribute to health and in addressing broader injustices that create and perpetuate poor health.” ~ Essex, Ryan (2021) Anarchy and its overlooked role in health and healthcare.

    “Using evidence from epidemiology, anthropology, and archaeology, Cohen provides fascinating evidence about the actual effects of civilization on health, suggesting that some aspects of civilization create as many health problems as they prevent or cure.” ~ book description for ‘Health and the Rise of Civilization’, by Mark Nathan Cohen

    “The pupil is thereby ‘schooled’ to confuse teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. His imagination is ‘schooled’ to accept service in place of value. Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the improvement of community life, police protection for safety, military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work. Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavour are defined as little more than the performance of the institutions which claim to serve these ends, and their improvement is made to depend on allocating more resources to the management of hospitals, schools, and other agencies in question.” ~ Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

      All true. Yet the most gifted typically want to be handsomely compensated for their genius and long hours. I assume that those behind the Vax attained unto the Capstone itself.

      Who was it who injected themselves with an experimental vaccine? Marie Curie? Such medical saints are rare in research. More of them are to be found among nurses, perhaps.

      In Japanese schools, even test tubes are shared. Is such group culture likely to produce individual genius? But of course, some level of equitable distribution of the goods of society is important, to Illich’s point and yours.

      How, how to nurture both individual genius and group solidarity? In the modern industrial state: National Socialism. In old Europe: Strong Christian culture, emphasizing family life and the bringing up of children to be responsible people. And as Cotton Mather, the female child takes greater attention being more prideful from an early age. All of this knowledge must have a place in National Socialism – even if the culture is no longer Christian per se.

        Upthread, I highlight secession.

        I do so in part because of the so-called Dunbar number (and similar, if less famous, numbers) and what this related quote suggests:

        “The ‘iron law of oligarchy’ states that all forms of organization, regardless of how democratic they may be at the start, will eventually and inevitably develop oligarchic tendencies, thus making true democracy practically and theoretically impossible, especially in large groups and complex organizations. The relative structural fluidity in a small-scale democracy succumbs to ‘social viscosity’ in a large-scale organization. According to the ‘iron law’, democracy and large-scale organization are incompatible.” ~ Wikipedia

        So even in those senses, the large-scale coercive centralized State-coporatocracy loses.

          Man has a higher and lower nature. We must transform one into the other. In the middle and later stages, it can be an individual’s choice and labor, but in the beginning (and this is the stuff you folks can’t stand), it must be imposed from above a la good upbringing; the passing on of cultural norms via socialization.

          Some punk rockers liked Hare Krishnas because both groups shaved their heads. You people like Communists because both of you hate “the olds” and want “change”. Face it: You guys are about that profound.

    And JHK has barely scratched the surface of the problems with medicine. 40 year retired “decorated” non vaxed Interventional Radiologist with an extraordinarily competent former ER nurse manager for a wife.
    The government, insurance companies, and professional societies with their marginally competent non clinical shills -risk managers, compliance committees, utilization review, JCAHO, case managers, C suite-ers – have insinuated themselves in the process with virtually no demonstrable benefit. You have the CEO of Beth israel in Boston braying about the 3 month pay cut he took from his 7 figure salary while one of his hospitals was losing up to 3 ER nurses a week, ran out of syringes, had to rely on traveling Ultrasound techs and lost so many CT techs that they had to close down their CT scanner for 8 h a day. They couldn’t life flight people out, they couldn’t divert patients to other hospitals…here are two examples -they are overburdened with elderly nursing home patients who are sent into the ER when they become unruly and can’t refuse them even though most of them have a DNT order -do not transfer! So they are sapping resources -beds meds nursing care docs – while real emergent cases are delayed. THE FAMILIES DO NOT WANT THEM TRANSFERED TO HOSPITALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THEY ARE ANYWAY! I would bet anywhere from 25-50% of the patients are DNT’s, combative recidivist druggies and drunks who are also a drain on resources. State and federal regs mandate their care. Think of that the next time you or a loved one has an 8h ER wait.

    I think if forensic anthropologists examined the body of the late Chuck Hughes of the Detroit Lions (the football player who died on the field) they would find latent traces of an experimental pre Covid-19 clot shot.

    • Disaffected January 7, 2023 at 8:29 am #

      Very possible!

    • Disaffected January 7, 2023 at 8:50 am #

      Chuck Hughes case was quite a bit different. No on-field precipitating incident was involved and he clearly had a pre-existing condition. He simply died of the same thing my grandfather who had a similar history did at age 54: a good old-fashioned heart attack.

      Death

      Hughes had suffered an injury in an August 1971 preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, which led to him collapsing in the locker room. He was hospitalized, but doctors were unable to diagnose what was wrong (suspecting a spleen injury) and he was released, despite never fully recovering. Hughes, who would suffer from what he believed was acid reflux and other maladies for the remaining two months of his life, insisted on continuing to play, saying that the pain he was experiencing was “not that bad.”[7]

      On October 24, 1971, the Lions hosted the Chicago Bears at Tiger Stadium. Late in the 4th quarter, with Detroit trailing 28–23, the Lions were driving into Chicago territory and Hughes, who entered the game as an injury replacement, caught a pass from quarterback Greg Landry for 32 yards and a first down at the Bears’ 37-yard line.

      Three plays later, Landry threw a pass that tight end Charlie Sanders dropped near the end zone. Hughes, a decoy on the play, began running back to the huddle with 1:02 showing on the clock. Suddenly, he dropped to the turf clutching his chest around the 20-yard line.[3] Hughes collapsed near Bears linebacker Dick Butkus, who saw him begin to convulse violently on the field. Butkus motioned to the sideline frantically to get Hughes assistance.[8]

      Both teams’ doctors and trainers, along with a physician who happened to be attending the game, ran to Hughes to try to save him. An ambulance was called for and arrived to take Hughes to Henry Ford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:34 pm that afternoon. He was 28 years old. The game was played to its conclusion in front of a now-stunned silent crowd in Tiger Stadium, with the Bears’ lead holding. The Lions awaited word of Hughes’ condition after the game and the players were informed once word had broken that he was dead.

      A postmortem examination revealed that Hughes was suffering from undiagnosed and advanced arteriosclerosis (one of his coronary arteries was 75% blocked) and that he had a family history of heart disease. The direct cause of death was a coronary thrombosis, which caused a massive myocardial infarction that cut off the blood flow to his heart.[9][10] Hughes was buried in San Antonio, Texas, and all 40 of his Lions teammates attended his funeral, including head coach Joe Schmidt.[4] He was survived by his widow, Sharon Leah, and by his son, who was 1 year and 11 months old at the time, Brandon Shane.[3] A $10,000 trust fund was set up for his son by an insurance company.[11] His widow filed a $21.5 million malpractice lawsuit against Henry Ford Hospital in 1972 for not diagnosing his condition after the Bills game. The lawsuit was settled on October 3, 1974, for an undisclosed amount of money.[12]

        In 2022, over 3000 college football games (D1, 2, & 3, + NAIA), plus about 200 NFL games, and one guy in one game has a heart attack. Looked at from that angle football doesn’t seem all that risky.

        • Mick January 7, 2023 at 2:49 pm #

          A guy I know who played Div 1 NCAA football in the 80s, and then went on to be in the NFL for about three years says that what most fans don’t see is what becomes of NFL players later in their 40s and 50s. Depending on how many times they got their bell rung, many are in terrible shape. They don’t age well. Life expectancy is much lower for an average NFL player than the general population. Suicide rate is high.

          The guy I mentioned was a place kicker, so he didn’t get his bell rung that much. I think he said the only times he suffered concussions were in High School when he was also a receiver. It was one of the reasons why he chose to kick. A doctor told him that once you get your first concussion, it is then easier to get the second, and third…. Sometimes it may be several decades before it takes a heavy toll on your health. Others it takes that toll pretty quickly.

          • Disaffected January 7, 2023 at 3:12 pm #

            Yeah, kicker would be the only way to go. I’ve had two concussions myself (not football related, but one at the tender age of 16), and they ain’t no piece of cake. My mom has always wondered if the first one didn’t change me somehow, as that was about the time I “went off the mainstream rails.” Who knows? Sure don’t want another one in this lifetime, though, I can tell you that!

            By the way, just found out earlier this year that my cousin-in-law (is that a thing?), Matt Haack, is the punter for the Indianapolis Colts. He was with the Bills, but they released him in August in favor of some young phenom from San Diego State, who then got exposed as some sort of sexual predator during his college years and released as well.

        “On October 24, 1971,” during ’71 CPR and defibrillation was just being introduced to healthcare providers. At some point after the initial rollout it began making its way to the public. The research supporting the AED in urban and rural settings was published in 1979.

            Maybe being more favored, he is more normal – thus able to hide his corruption or even endure against it as an individual man. Then again, he rooms with a big time lobbyist. What’s that about?

However, it also concluded that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination still greatly outweigh the risks…..”

    Of course they’re still genuflecting to Pfizer and Moderna by saying, “….the benefits of vaxxing still greatly outweigh the risks.” Oh yes, even said “greatly”.

    This is a very interesting video. The Fauci Stooges who chant “There is no such thing as covid. It is just the flu rebranded” can watch it for the first 5 minutes, when the radiologist explains the difference between regular influenza and pneumonia radiological images, and those of covid.
    He says that he doesn’t even call covid lung damage ”pneumonia” any more, he calls it ”pulmonary vascular pathology”, because it is blood vessel damage, not lung damage.

    They then discuss the other areas of the body affected by the same blood vessel damage, and how it gets to the rest of the body. If it were strictly a respiratory disease it would not affect other organs.

    They do not seem to realize that SARS 2 is a bioweapon, though, they call it a ”novel virus”. Well, yes, it is novel in that Fauci and the boys took a normal virus and turned it into a bioweapon.
    And they don’t discuss the GMO injectable at all, although that uses the same mechanism to damage the body.

    But it’s still worth watching, except for the last 20 minutes, when they discuss the UK Health Service and dentistry.

      No Paula, the real weapon is the Vax. The virus is a means to get the dupes to willingly take the poison.

      A bioweapon that causes blood clots along with a “vaccine” for the bioweapon which also causes blood clots

        It’s the same mechanism. It is the spike protein that does the harm.

        • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 8:01 pm #

          Because if there is no covid, there is no bioweapon.

          If there is no bioweapon there is no need to shut down the bioweapon research labs.

          • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 9:08 pm #

            No, Fauxi’s bioweapon is the vaccine – which we have reiterated quite a few times, now.

      “There is no such thing as covid. It is just the flu rebranded”

      Yes, that is what the data shows. Excess mortality was not seen until the shots rolled out, and it has long since been proven that the stats for “Covid” were rigged.

      How this makes me a Fauci stooge is something I would love to hear about.

      • Disaffected January 7, 2023 at 4:07 pm #

        Not sure what to believe at this point. I think that for most of us it’s just rebranded flu, but I’m not excluding the possibility that the Dark Ops boys engineered something for limited release in China, Italy, and Iran to kick off the festivities back in 2019. The evil bastards are nothing if not creative. But either way, the main point was to herd the herd into taking the clot shots, which were win, win, all the way around. And the stats. Those were all pure fabrication. Just more fun with numbers.

        • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 4:16 pm #

          It is not rebranded flu, Dis.
          Influenza is a completely different virus and it causes different symptoms.

          Take 5 minutes and the radiologist will explain it.

          Don’t be a Fauci stooge!

          • Night Owl January 7, 2023 at 5:24 pm #

            Oh? Then show us the isolate of a flu strain vs. “Covid-19.”

            I’ll wait.

          • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 5:34 pm #

            I am wondering if it’s not rebranded flu, why did the CDC stop counting flu cases in 2020?

            I went over the charts, there was no excess morbidity, as N.O. says. I also still don’t believe that anyone would be stupid enough to purposefully expose themselves to a bioweapon as would have been the case if your theory is correct. Why would the PTB take that chance?

            I would also like to know how the bioweapon spread to the particular areas you mention that you think were targeted. How does that work? Did they plant infected people?

          • GreenAlba January 7, 2023 at 7:45 pm #

            So, are the people who vigorously promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine on here in 2020 saying that hydroxycholoroquine is a treatment for flu?

            I’m not a virologist, so all that’s left to me is logic. And if hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin (and fluvoxamine and budesonide) have been shown to work against whatever this has been, are people saying that these things are all flu treatments?

            And if they are, why have HCL and ivermectin been around for decades without anyone noticing that there’s no flu in places where people routinely use those medications?

          • GreenAlba January 7, 2023 at 8:00 pm #

            Having said that, I realise that the regions where HCL and IVM are routinely used are mostly in equatorial/tropical latitudes and won’t have a winter flu season, but the question remains: are you saying these are flu remedies? Great if they are, obviously, but I’ve watched a bit of Paula’s radiology video and unless the radiologist is lying through his teeth, which strikes me as unlikely on the face of it, covid seems to be distinguishable clinically from flu – whatever it is and whether or not there is a virus rather than a toxin.

            That doesn’t mean that loads of people with flu and other winter respiratory diseases weren’t diagnosed with covid on little justification. They weren’t all X-rayed, presumably.

          • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 8:07 pm #

            Green Alba, I don’t remember exactly what the mechanism is that Ivermectin is said to interfere with the SARS 2 virus, but I think it has something to do with inhibiting the virus from attaching to the ACE receptors.
            This bioweapon was engineered to attach to the ACE receptors, which are in many organs of the body.
            I don’t think that influenza or rhino viruses have that function.

            HCL was used very early because Dr. Fauci had funded research on SARS 1, and researchers found that HCL inhibited the virus in vitro back in 2005.

            So although Fauci claims that the purpose of gain-of-function bioweapon research is to ”find potential treatments” in case Mother Nature accidentally produces the same bioweapon in a wet market in China, once SARS 2 was released and doctors started using HCL, they immediately attacked and banned it.
            It was OTC in France until Jan. 2020, when they changed the function.
            Thank you for understanding the radiologist’s explanation of the differential diagnosis between covid and other pneumonias.
            I wrote my heated response below before I saw your comment.

          • Night Owl January 8, 2023 at 4:16 am #

            Show us the isolate. What is “Covid-19”?

            The onus is on them to show you what it is. They claim it exists.

            Yet it seems to kill only old people with comorbidities, and not very many of them.

          • GreenAlba January 8, 2023 at 6:24 am #

            NO, I specifically said I don’t know what it is. Some still think it’s a virus (that would include most of the mainstream medical and scientific resistance); some think it’s a toxin; some think it’s parasitic; yet others think it may be EMF induced. Demanding an isolate if it’s one of the last three things (or a combination) doesn’t prove that, whatever it is doesn’t exist.

            It can be any of those things and still be clinically distinguishable from flu. And, being distinguishible from flu doesn’t mean that lots of people with flu wouldn’t have been wrongly diagnosed with covid.

          • GreenAlba January 8, 2023 at 6:29 am #

            Nor does it answer the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine question. You were a massive fan of HCL in 2020 – does that mean you think HCL is a flu remedy?
            Does it mean that when Dr Chetty treated 7000 ‘covid’ patients and kept them out of hospital, he was treating them for flu? And why has no-one in the history of flu treatment noted what Dr Chetty noted – that a minority of people got extremely sick starting always on Day 8 (according to him, those who had a reaction to the spike protein)?

          • Night Owl January 8, 2023 at 1:27 pm #

            GA, we are in an information war. I am simply doing what I can with the info. I have come across.

            The stats kerfulffle and the extremely low death rate suggest to me that there is no virus, or at least not a novel and deadly virus known as Covid-19.

            Then there is the lack of the isolate.

            And the lack of any test that can detect it.

            Where and what is it? Nothing IMO. If they could prove it existed, they would be shouting it from the rooftops. And if it were engineered in a lab and set loose on the public those who set it loose would be at some risk too.

            When one strips all of the storytelling away, we are left with those facts. And those facts suggest to me that it does not exist. We have had three years to get some hard proof from someone.

          • Paula D January 8, 2023 at 3:15 pm #

            I found this Green Alba…
            ;; Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08.

            Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection. ”

            //pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32871846/

            But I remember that Dr. McCullough listed at least 4 ways the drug interferes with that particular virus, I just can’t find it with a search engine

            The influenza virus is different than SARS 2, so what works on covid may not work on the flu.

            This paper has a diagram of influenza A structure. I don’t see spike proteins on the surface.

            I will add: Last time I asked Paula to provide proof that the virus was isolated, she provided a link to an article, most of which I read. I apologize I can’t remember who the writer was. But basically, it was two people arguing a bunch of scientific stuff that is way above my ability to understand. But what I did understand was, there was no proof provided. It was one guy debunking another guy’s findings, and it wasn’t all that convincing.

            This is not proof, IMHO.

        • Islander January 7, 2023 at 6:15 pm #

          This summer per an Abbott Labs antigen test I had covid (no idea which strain).

          The symptoms were a lot like “flu” that I had in 2017. Name, an “Everything Bug.” Except no loss of taste. But I didn’t notice loss of taste with the putatively bona fide covid this summer, either . . .

          So who’s to prove that what I had before was “flu”? I didn’t have any tests, but a Big Bad Bug was going around, and it really knocked out a lot of people for weeks to months.

          So who know what people are getting or had already gotten. There is no way to know without actually doing cultures in a lab, AFAIK.

    • Paula D January 7, 2023 at 4:12 pm #

      Anyone who denies the reality of gain-of-function bioweapons research labs is a Fauci stooge, because they are refusing to look at the ongoing atrocities the labs are committing, while they scream about the shot and only the shot.

      If any of you stooges bothered to watch 5 minutes of the video you would know that your boring mantra (“there is no virus”) is inaccurate.
      The radiologist very clearly explains the difference between regular influenza and pneumonia, and the radiological pattern that shows up with people with covid.

      But you can’t be bothered to be educated, can you? You’d rather scream your bullshit mantras ad nauseum.

      Of course the shot is meant to harm, just like the bioweapon was. That is not in question, and it doesn’t take away from the harms of the shot to understand that the bioweapon was also meant to kill.

      I don’t understand why people fall for the psy op that tells them that there is no virus, or that it didn’t harm anyone.
      It is very clear to me that that particular psy op that you engage in is meant to protect the ongoing bioweapon development.

      Congratulations! You are part of the Fauci, Baric, Daszak team!
      I hope they are paying you well.

      • Night Owl January 7, 2023 at 5:22 pm #

        I think the lab work contributed to the development of the shots.

        There is no psyop that tells anyone there is no virus.

        What there is are sets of stats that show that the “virus” had a death rate well below 1%, and that most of those deaths were from people that had 4-5 comorbidities. When you turn your brain on, you find out that the standard flus and pneumonias we deal with all the time are the same.

        There is no isolate of “Covid-19,” there is no test for detecting “Covid-19,” and there is no proof whatsoever that it exists.

        Excess mortality however has gone through the roof since the deadly shots were rolled out.

        Facts remain facts.

      • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 5:29 pm #

        I think that’s quite a stretch to go from people questioning the veracity of something that was invented as a concept months before it was marketed to the masses to supporting bioweapons labs.

        If anything, the people who buy everything about Covid19 are closer to being on the side of Fauxi.

        I also think it’s a waste of time quibbling over what ’caused’ a mild illness that had a 0.027% death rate, and that was if people already had one foot in the grave.

        How about eye on the ball what they are doing next?

        We can’t do jack shit about any potential bioweapon if they release it into the atmosphere. We CAN refuse the jab.

      I thought I clearly explained my use of the word “stooge” to refer to people covering for bioweapons research by denying that there is such a thing.

      I thought the doctor clearly explained the difference between normal pneumonia and Covid pneumonia, and the difference between epithelial tissue swelling and effusion and capillary damage.

      But not one person commenting here has been able to grasp either concept.

      If it was just me, I might think that I was unable to express concepts clearly.

      But since it is both me AND the doctor, I think it is a matter of inability to comprehend English.

      • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 9:04 pm #

        I’ve seen about 300 doctors and scientists giving their opinions complete with xrays, etc. over the past 3 years. I don’t know which ones are completely 100% correct, although all of them are pretty convinced they are.

        I don’t think this video is any more convincing than any of those are. I don’t know who the physician is, or what his motives are.

        So there’s that. That doesn’t mean I don’t ‘grasp’ it. It means I watched it, and I’m still not convinced that the PTB would release a bioweapon which they would also be exposed to.

        That makes no sense to me. And if the bioweapon was accidentally released, then so were the so-called ‘variants’?

        And again: No excess deaths until the vaxx appeared on the scene.

          Puzzle pieces:

          An Aussie doc puts a sample under a microscope with camera. Normal speed = nothing, zilch. Speed it up, the AI in the cell is working, making ‘things’, maybe replicating itself?? maybe making those synthetic strands of human cell structures morticians are pulling out of human bodies.

          Karen Kingston says it needs energy to work, mentions 5G, LEDs and some other sources. Her work got me looking for the paper trail in the patents.

          Where were there major 5G rollouts? Wuhan? Iran? part of Italy? this goes back into 2020 when the ‘panic’ was unleashed.

          My opinion at present: it’s not just one ‘thing’. It has multiple faces.

          Regarding TPTB, not all-knowing, more likely just decades ahead of the curve because it is what they do. They do pure evil.

          So do they have an escape plan? Interesting question. If their egos have gotten the best of them, they might not, as they have crossed from reality to fantasy.

          Or, they have the reversal agent(s).

          Or, they are seeking to make themselves a super-race, cyborg hybrids, and are testing theories and mechanisms on the world population to find out how to achieve immortality.

          Or…..

        • Paula D January 8, 2023 at 2:58 pm #

          You are asking the same questions you asked the last time I brought up the bioweapons labs.

          I answered them then. Do you not remember or are you just trolling me?

          I said that I don’t know how they released the virus. It might have been an accidental release.

          We know that the CDC shut down Fort Dietrick in July 2019 after many residents of a nursing home nearby died.

          We know that young men were dying of a respiratory problem that manifested as ground glass lungs in the summer of 2019 and they blamed vaping.

          We know that about 5 months after they closed Fort Dietrick John Hopkins held Event 201.

          We know that a couple of weeks after that the US sent the military to Wuhan for the Military Games, and four of them were so sick they ended up hospitalized.

          We know that China isolated and identified the new virus at the end of December.

          We know that many people in the US were sick in Dec 2019, went to their doctors and tested negative for influenza.

          We know that when USC researchers tested people in LA in spring of 2020, a large portion of them already had antibodies to SARS 2, so it had to be circulating before it was discovered as a new disease in China.

          We know that the Deep State has a policy of throwing out a bunch of bullshit around every operation to confuse the public, a Bodyguard of Lies.
          FUD, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt is how they do.

          I think that the lines they started throwing out “It’s 5G” “There is no virus”, etc. are the covid equivalent of “It was a nuclear bomb” or “It was directed laser energy” of the 9-11 operation. They get people saying stupid things and it invalidates the entire spectrum of dissent to the average public.

          It is absolutely ridiculous to claim that “They have never isolated the virus” when researchers all over the world have isolated the virus and studied its genome.
          That makes the doctors and scientists who actually know what they are talking about be ignored by the general public.

          And there were excess deaths in the spring of 2020. You can look at any graph and see the spikes.
          There were also excess deaths in Jan. 2021 and the spike of deaths then was higher than the one in 2020, but there was one in 2020.

          • MaryQueen January 8, 2023 at 4:45 pm #

            Everything you have listed here is not proof of anything. It’s coincidence, conjecture, and speculation. You like some scientists’ claims and reject others that are just as valid.

            I asked again because these answers are not convincing to me.

            For starters, we knew tests and cases is bullshit, right? Kary Mullis said so. So what are you basing your cases and tests on?

            There was no excess morbidity in 2020! This has been shown on graphs, with the info gotten from the CDC. CDC has every incentive to lie, but they apparently only could fudge so much (which meant claiming suddenly flu cases disappeared).

            None of what you are claiming is hard-core fact. It is speculation. This is why I continue to discuss it and I do not claim to know. No one does. That is why I continue to opine that the waters have been muddied to the point where facts cannot be obtained.

          • MaryQueen January 8, 2023 at 5:01 pm #

            Also: It’s common knowledge that viruses move through a population in 70 days. So why are we still calling every illness “Covid19” nearly 3 years later?

            Remember: the tests don’t work. So there is something else going on.

            I am satisfied with the explanation that the vaccines are doing the damage.

        What now?

        You can’t address the points I made. Because you don’t have any of the information available.

        This should be a major red flag.

    It’s a very interesting observation. An organism or system is often at it’s largest size right before it goes extinct. That then probably explains the fate of the woolly mammoth. Some people say that the woolly mammoth was hunted into extinction by ice age humans, and others say that they went extinct because the climate became warmer and their ecologies changed in a negative way for them and favored smaller animals like those of today. But the woolly mammoth didn’t necessarily orchestrate their own extinction? Whereas in our society and within the system of our society it is as if an extinction is being willingly orchestrated. There may be some repentance but it seems like many people who participated in the covidian cult fully believe in everything they have done and do. They believe they are “on the right side of history”. But it appears that the injections are taking their course and extinguishing many of them. That may be the resolution. A sort of grand 21st century Jonestown. Maybe hiding in the woods until the dust settles like our ancestors did is a way to survive the death cult?

    Sad to see the Sadhguru at the WEF with the ghouls. There is a place in Hinduism for birth control since they don’t see physical life as a one shot deal. There are many places for a soul to go. And if they need to come back here, then they can do so later when there is more room.

    So fine per se. But the ghouls want to end human life per se by chipping away our humanity. Doesn’t he see that? I won’t argue for him. Maybe he does. Maybe he’s one of them. If he was really wise, he wouldn’t be there in any case.

    • SoftStarLight January 7, 2023 at 3:26 pm #

      The WEF is probably trying to have some leaders from every religious group join them to provide a veneer of validation to their followers. It would make sense from a public outreach perspective. They could easily be manipulating at least some of them who like you say would support things like population control to help the environment. Like the freemasons. I mean you know they say that the people lower on the totem pole within the masons think its a charity group and do like fundraisers and have no idea what the organization really is like the people at the very top. Maybe the WEF is like that?

      • Jarek January 8, 2023 at 1:40 pm #

        Perhaps, although the WEF is a far more elite group than your local Masonic lodge. Still, maybe it has its own levels. The Bilderbergers commonly invite outside speakers, experts in their fields. That doesn’t make them members. If they get invited back again and again, then perhaps they are on the path towards joining, at least in some cases.

        Schwab boasted about Putin’s involvement, but who knows his mind? As he said, thoughts and actions have no direct connection. Maybe he just wanted to know what they were thinking. Who knows how much of it he accepted. Not enough to betray Russia completely, apparently.

    I nearly died of covid. I was unvaxxed.

    I was admitted to the ER on Sept 30, 2021. I was ultimately placed on a ventilator for 9 days which I most assuredly attest- is a horrible fate which I do not wish on a single enemy.

    I was released Oct. 20. I weighed 30 pounds less. I could barely walk or stand. The atrophy that takes place when tied to a bed for three weeks is truly alarming.

    My covid sins? I was 60 and 30 pounds overweight from lifting weights my whole life. That was it. Getting nourishment for 3 weeks from a feeding tube cured my overweight problem.

    I have detailed this near-death experience on my blog, Frankenstein Government.

    My wife and I have become huge Ivermectin fans and studied it throughout the world. Even Haitians aren’t getting covid. They use Ivermectin.

    My doctor prescribes IVER all over the west despite states like Oregon, who refuse to fill prescriptions. I am about to forward a prescription to a very sick friend who if he gets covid or the shot- he might very well die.

    You have to become a criminal to do the right thing. Fuck them. Always do the right thing.

      Hmmm, how do the Haitians have easy access to ivermectin being such a poor country? I wonder if it is distributed by the government or something?

      • Night Owl January 7, 2023 at 3:35 pm #

        It is on the WHO essential medicines list, so I can well imagine they had a stockpile.

        The Haitians are also quite distrustful of the West, so I assume there were no government efforts to block its distribution.

        • SoftStarLight January 7, 2023 at 4:47 pm #

          Yes, and clearly that mistrust is well placed. I was also thinking that they may have gotten it from the UN at some point so that makes sense. I think ivermectin is also an anti-malaria drug so that may have a lot to do with it too since that is common there.

In spite of “much angst and apprehension” surrounding the opening plays according to the announcers, the Chiefs are apparently unphased, scoring a TD within two minutes of the opening stanza. Whether or not they’ll “dole out a thrashing” (hat tip Q.

    Matt Taibbi’s Capsule Summaries of the Twitters Files and discussion so far are really worth reading.

    httpX://taibbi.substack.com/p/capsule-summaries-of-all-twitter

    I accessed this through a link at Moon of Alabama, but maybe you can just use the link above. I was asked to subscribe but chose “Keep reading.”

    Memo to Musk haters:

    So far, when it comes to free speech in the USA, Musk is on the side of the angels.

    Per Alex Berenson,

    “This week I went to San Francisco for my first peek at the “Twitter Files,” the company’s records on the government and private pressures it has faced to censor free speech and debate.

    Since buying Twitter in late October, Elon Musk has opened the files to a handful of journalists. He invited me about 10 days ago to look over Covid-related documents at Twitter’s headquarters in no-longer-beautiful downtown San Francisco.

    “Look over” is not entirely accurate, though. These files are not separate from Twitter’s other databases, they are part of them.

    What Musk is really offering is the chance to search Twitter’s systems seeking information about specific topics, in a process akin to discovery in civil lawsuits. Reporters ask for searches. Twitter turns over what it finds to be read or screenshotted [[hey! new verb—Islander]] at Twitter headquarters but retains the original documents.

    Beyond that, I agreed to no conditions on how I will use the information from the files. I can write what I like and do not have to preclear anything with Musk or anyone else. I will redact the names of low-level Twitter employees who were not in decision-making roles – I agreed to this condition in my lawsuit discovery too.

    (Next stop, Twitter Files)

    The mainstream media has downplayed or simply ignored Musk’s move, but it is hard to overstate how important it is – or how exceptional.

    Big companies simply do not open their internal records for outsiders to pore over. Even in litigation, they place confidentiality protections on information they give to plaintiffs’ lawyers.

    In contrast, Musk is making available an unprecedented trove of evidence about government and private efforts to suppress free speech on the most important global platform for journalism. Musk’s decision is not risk-free and has little or no appreciable benefit for him. Everyone – Democrat, Republican, or independent – should thank him for doing it.

    The Twitter Files have already borne fruit.

    The most important revelations so far came from Matt Taibbi’s reporting on the Twitter’s close relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on so-called election misinformation.

    The files leave little doubt that the FBI actively collaborated with Twitter to suppress Americans’ freedom of speech and push a fake narrative that Russia was successfully influencing American elections. The bureau went so far as to flag individual tweets for removal.

    Yes, America’s most important federal law enforcement agency, a 35,000-employee force supposedly dedicated to stopping terrorism and serious crime, somehow decided that its job was to tell a social media company what content it could carry.

    The files so far have not turned up much evidence of FBI interest in censoring discussion around the coronavirus or the Covid vaccines.

    The Department of Homeland Security, the public health bureaucracies, and the Biden Administration itself seem to have led that effort, which accelerated dramatically in early 2021, after the vaccines became widely available and Biden took over.

    But we have much more to learn, and doing so will take time. Twitter’s databases are huge. Searching them is complex. Employees used email, the Slack corporate messaging system, and an internal tracking system called Jira for more urgent discussions.

    They also communicated with federal and state agencies through other, semi-secret channels, which were neither open or disclosed to the public. The FBI used one called Teleporter, while Twitter directed health agencies to something called the Partner Support Portal. There may have been others too, and it remains unclear how searchable those databases are. Employees also used text messages, phone, and Signal, of course. Those records are probably gone for good.

    Still, the email, Slack, and Jira databases alone contain vast amounts of potentially important information. But the email and Slack databases are held offsite, and searchers must tailor their requests because of the volume of data they contain and the potential to reveal personal information.

    (The civil litigation discovery process has similar limits, as I learned when I sued Old Twitter. Even a theoretically open-ended search must have reasonable terms and be confined to subjects who might reasonably have information. Judges will not approve endless rooting through corporate databases.)

    But Jira is available at Twitter headquarters, and I was able to search it for some crucial terms last week.

    Let’s just say what turned up is fascinating – and will make someone very unhappy that Elon opened these files. A couple of someones, but one someone in particular.

    The story will be coming soon. (Ironically, I am waiting for Twitter to pull the “do not amplify” tag from my account before I post. This piece needs the widest distribution possible, and having Twitter itself suppress a story that I have gotten based on its files doesn’t make much sense.)

    Tick, tick, tick…”
    +++++++++++

    Mea culpe for long post. But I do think it is pretty interesting.

    • MaryQueen January 7, 2023 at 6:23 pm #

      This is a problem. I saw Paula did so as well, above.

      “Anyone who disagrees with my theory is a [insert insult here].”

      So I’m an Elon Musk hater because I don’t trust a transhumanist billionaire con man? I can live with that, I suppose.

      I’m waiting for his long con, as I’ve said elsewhere.

      I thought it was common knowledge that the deep state was entrenched in Twitter, Facebook, etc. Did people not know this already?

          Meanwhile the truth bombs are going off. Providing, so it seems to me, reems of actionable material/smoking guns, etc.

          Yes, if nothing comes of them, that will be hugely disappointing.

          That will of course all be Musk’s fault . . . Making those who “understand Trojan horses” right all along. Bwahaha.

            Guess what? Nothing ever happens as a result of them.

            Elon must certainly know this.

          • Jarek January 8, 2023 at 2:04 pm #

            Good response, Mary. But if no one ever fought back, things would have gone downhill even faster.

            Now they are sprinting for the finish line and we must bring them down. That means accepting the extraordinary help Musk has given us. There is no reason for a man of his class to do this – but done it he has.

            Now you automatically jump to an extreme and say that we are “worshiping Musk” and think he’s perfect. Look at it this program and delete it, Mary, because it is nonsense.

            It’s not lethal like the mRNA franken jabs. China is using old fashioned vaxx technology….a killed virus like the flu shots.

            China is having problems because the shut down so thoroughly for so long that many people’s immune system is vulnerable to all of the viruses that are around. Of course, every year flu strains come from China.

            Why is that I wonder? You can safely say that all the flus are the China flu.

          • The Man They Call Zazelle January 7, 2023 at 8:03 pm #

            I would not claim to know what China, whoever or whatever China is in one’s head, is doing in many cases, even though I’ve been there, since in part much info we might think we know is second-hand, third-hand or more. Not that you understand what I am talking about mind you.

            According to Mark Crispin Miller’s weekly ‘Died Suddenly’ emailed lists, people are dropping dead in China as well. Just because their vaxxes aren’t mRNA (they have more than one vaxx) doesn’t mean it hasn’t been doctored to bump people off.

            Also, if Sinovac and other Chinese vaxxes are of the inactivated-virus type, what does that even mean if there’s no covid virus?

          • Mick January 7, 2023 at 8:29 pm #

            GA, I don’t agree with everything Peter Zeihan says, especially about Russia, but he has good intel on China. John Campbell, that British MD Rockstar on YT, has friends in China who have been communicating to him on what’s going on. Both Zeihan and Campbell say the same about the vaxx situation there.

            Apparently, Hong Kong does have one of the mRNA vaxxes as an option. But the CCP has flatly refused to use it throughout the country. Told the US and Co to piss off. They developed their own ‘killed virus’ shot. How? Well, the virus originated there, so I don’t think it was that hard to make a traditional vaxx from it. It was in their own main bioweapon lab after all.

            (Yes, I’m in the virus is real camp. But I believe it is a bioweapon that was to lead in to the more important bioweapon…..the mRNA clot shots. As bad as the CCP is, I think they have more interest in not killing off their people than our lovely govts. They are, after all, in a demographic crunch. One child only policy didn’t work out).

            Mick

            I think we are mostly in agreement, although not on everything (but I don’t claim to know everything anyway). I’ve been following John Campbell (he’s not an MD, he’s PhD and retired nurse educator) from when he was heavily endorsing the vaxxes and boosters through to his recent change of heart. I don’t necessarily believe anything that comes out of China, even if it’s from chums of John Campbell.

            China would benefit greatly from bumping off its older generations – each of the little emperor children with no siblings has a lot of grandparents to support.

            Nothing that is happening in China, including the kettling of lockdown protestors by turning their covid passes red to prevent them getting the train home, fills me with any kind of confidence, especially as it’s the blueprint for what’s coming here.

          • Islander January 7, 2023 at 9:30 pm #

            I’m not aware of any recent insights regarding treatment options that are “approved” in China.

            This question has come up a couple of times at this blog.

            Is it the case there, as here, that all the talk is of vaccines and none is of treatment?

            If so, that raises some kind of red flag for me.

          • Mick January 8, 2023 at 9:11 am #

            I forgot to mention that the percentage of people in China who have been vaxxed with their shot is very, very low.

            Any reports of masses of people dying from jabs in China is most likely BS.

            But, I agree GA, any news out of China has to be suspect because it is….well…..China. The most unique closed major nation and society in the world.

            There’s snippet in the Spanish film (Eng. version), ‘The Big Reset’, where they show thousands of Chinese youngsters in Wuhan at a concert, with no masks and all looking fine. The point they were making was that China must have been giving people early covid treatment at that time.

            If they were then but they aren’t now, I don’t know what that tells us. People seem to have excellent natural immunity from catching covid, but once they’re vaxxed that no longer applies (I think, anyway), suggesting that a vaxx on top of covid recovery not only increases a person’s risk of an adverse vaxx reaction but also of getting covid again.

            I just saw it now. Someone sent in a FOI request to Swindon hospital regarding attendances in A&E for pericarditis and myocarditis from 2019 to 2022. They responded to it, then it was the subject of one of JC’s videos (which I didn’t see). It got at least half a million views.Then it was er … corrected.

            JC’s deadpan delivery of the result is really quite funny. Check out the numbers.

            Omigod, that is so funny. And the way Dr. Campbell plays it is perfect, both as comedy gold and a way to foil the censors.

            I just feel sorry for the employee who answered the query with the true stats, not realizing the shitstorm s/he would set off.

            No doubt they were fired, while the person writing the ”additional checking processes for requests that ask for statistical information in the future” will get a bonus and a promotion.

          If China is 87% vaccinated (I looked it up) and yet hundreds of millions of the Chinese are getting sick now, I don’t think you can conclude that their “vaccine” works.

          I also follow Dr. Campbell and he points out that the death rate is very low in China, it’s just that they have so many people it adds up.

          You still have an immune system even if you are not exposed to a particular pathogen. I have never been exposed to cholera or dengue fever, for instance, but my immune system still works.

          The reason so many people are getting sick at the same time now is that China had a zero tolerance policy for 3 years, but apparently made the decision (probably at the CPC Central Committee Congress in Oct.) to let this milder version of covid spread naturally.

            I would go along with all of that, Paula. Even at the start of their vaccination campaign, the Chinese vaxxes were acknowledged as not being that effective. When the western vaxxes were pretending to be 85% effective or whatever, the Chinese ones were supposed to be down in the 60 percents. So they’re probably even less effective than that.

            In any case, the authorities there are also perfectly aware of the effectiveness of the treatments that were used to excellent effect in Uttar Pradesh and other places, so they don’t need the vaxxes. They are engaged in the same theatre as is going on everywhere else.

          • Night Owl January 9, 2023 at 5:15 am #

            “The reason so many people are getting sick at the same time now is that China had a zero tolerance policy for 3 years, but apparently made the decision (probably at the CPC Central Committee Congress in Oct.) to let this milder version of covid spread naturally”

            So many contradictions and assumptions here that it is hard to know where to start. You don’t think their vaccine works based on stats, but you think they have Covid based on those same stats.

            You can’t prove Covid exists, but you know it does.

            You claim that the claim of sick people can be attributed to lockdowns, when in reality it could be seasonal, or if lockdowns and lack of fresh air were the cause, we could simply be seeing people getting seasonal flus due to weaker immune systems.

            You may have one of the most illogical minds on CFN.

    Article in RT quotes Robert Gates & Condy Rice stating Ukraine has reached the end of the rope in its ability to resist the Russian Army — apparently the core of Ukrainian forces have been destroyed in the battles around Bakhmut. How accurate this is I don’t know. Today another commitment was made — $3 billion in armor. This could mean Abrams Tanks, but one wonders how effective those 60 ton behemoths would be on the defensive. During the Azerbaijan-Armenia War of a few summers ago entire Armenian tank squadrons were routinely knocked out by inexpensive Israeli made drones. Tanks may prove to be as obsolete in 21st century warfare as the Carrier Groups the US Navy have deployed all over the world.

      The entire western media…Surprise!…is lying constantly about how well The Ukraine is doing in this war. The only ones doing well are the US defense contractors…the Intel Establishment…Zelensky and his mafia cronies….and the Bidens, most likely.

      ( Kevin McCarthy and his buddy Mitch will get to the bottom of it though!! Bwahahahaha…..)

      Russia has had some setbacks, for sure. But in reality, they’ve been fighting with one hand tied behind their back so far. During the coming months they’re going to open up the entire barrel full of whoop ass that they’re putting in place now.

      Zelensky’s forces are depleted and they have nothing in reserve in which to fill the gaps. The Ukrainian death rate has been far higher than Russia’s, despite the western intelligence fed media’s lies to the contrary.

    I was a hospital employee also. Coworkers ran to get “vaccinated” as soon as it came out – until one of our paramedics had seizures and was admitted to ICU with transverse myelitis. Enthusiasm came to a screeching halt.
    Then the mandate. There were zero exemptions. The CDC said there were no contraindications to vaccination and their word was gospel. I and many others quit rather than get jabbed.

    My family thought I was insane… Now sadly there are three dying of cancer all in one family – aggressive prostate, glioblastoma and primary liver. They all got vaccinated, double or triple stabbed and boosted together because another family member had a transplant and needed to be “protected”. Now they all have a death sentence and the person with the transplant had extremely mild 18 hour covid. The irony is indescribable.

    Ask yourself why there is an enormous shortage of staff in hospitals. It’s because we have seen the effects of the vaccine. We don’t want medical treatment forced on us because we know there are side effects to every thing we do. Many quit and left health care or moved to non-patient care positions…

    You are 100% correct. On one iteration of the CDC list of “vaccine” side effects – prior to the page being scrubbed mightily – the last bullet-pointed side effect was Vaccine Disease Acceleration. Meaning any preexisting disease or latent conditions were accelerated. Un-fucking-believable, but true.

    I took a look at the supposedly or relatively realtime online population count and it’s 8 billion with about a baby or two a second popping out somewhere in the world.

            Body image develops throughout childhood. Do women think they should be Raquel, or Twiggy? Depends on what environment their family and peer group set and greatly modified by the insane marketing in America.

            Girls are pushed to ultra thin models and the Kardashians, who do they think they should look like?

            Power and control issues also enter in, if a teenage girl is dominated by family, anorexia may be their form of rebellion, which everyone needs to do.

            And, boys go through the same thing, but appearance to most males is not as dominant an issue as girls.

            My favorite vocalist, Jackie Evancho, has admitted anorexia and seeing her through the years, like Karen, it shows. She has stated that no matter what she sees in the mirror, it is still too fat. It is tough to alter the self image built up during a childhood. People just do not change easily in any way.

    ~ Reverse Panspermia: A Fly In David’s Ointment? 😉 ~

    David, I emailed you recently WRT the idea of reverse panspermia.

    You may wish to do some investigation on whether, say, Mars is already ‘contaminated’ with terrestrial (Earth) life from its robotic explorers, and/or the Voyager spacecrafts that are on their ways into interstellar space and, if they have any egg or hibernating stowaways, they could one day ‘contaminate’ other planets elsewhere.

    As our sun novas, it’s possible that if there’s any Earth-imported Martian or Titan, (etc.), life, if or when Mars (etc.) warms up, its (their) imported life may awaken, hatch or re-awaken. Same thing wherever else our spacecraft and human space explorers go.

    I know that reverse panspermia is not precisely your ‘thesis’ here and elsewhere, but it may still be worth investigating and presenting a video and/or lecture or more on. What do you think?

    Another thing… Regarding snowflakes, I seem to recall reading a long time ago that it is not true that no two snowflakes are alike.

    Lastly, we may wish to be cautious of course how we define intelligent life. On Earth, while we have other intelligent, if not technological, life besides human, we also have had different human lineages that have disappeared but that could have become technological.
    Mind you, apparently many present humans have Neanderthal DNA. So that’s two lineages right there.

    In any case, while we may currently be the only life in our galaxy or the universe, after some time, our own life here, if it gains a foothold elsewhere, and far away elsewhere, the Earthling question of whether there is life elsewhere may in a sense fulfill its own prophesy by placing its own life elsewhere.

    • JohnAZ January 8, 2023 at 2:46 pm #

      Panspermia is an interesting theory. Did life start on Earth, or get transplanted from elsewhere.

      I would like to expand the idea by asking, what if the development of carbon based life forms is a natural development of the expansion of the universe, ie it is all part of God’s plan?

      Another head scratcher is how does evolution work? It is generally accepted now that every so many millions of years, something clobbers earth and wipes out 75 – 90% of life both on land and in the sea. That is pretty damn tough on life in general.

      The weird part it’s if that many species are wiped out, life has to restart from very primitive beginnings over and over. IMHO, when Earth is struck, it changes the orbit and/or the rotation of the planet. So life has to recover into the face of a changed environment. That is why dinosaurs no longer exist, but much smaller reptilian editions do. The Earth changed positions and or atmospheres that permitted mammals to have the advantage.

      Now add on panspermia, is the Earth being invaded by viruses, bacteria from elsewhere on a continuing basis?

      Life is continuously changing, the Kelly space experiment shows that DNA changes inside a generation if stimulated by the environment.

      Thank goodness, life would’ve been wiped our a billion years ago if not.

      BTW, food for thought. If DNA is the brains of life, the agent that sets the forms of life, who or whatever controls the changes in DNA controls life and where it goes.

      Viruses change DNA, gravity changes DNA, continuous environmental stimulation changes DNA for a few.

      Is it hard to believe that DNA is the brain, the God of life? Where else could He be expressing Himself?

    Fauci responds to alleged upcoming “Fauci Files,” says “disinformation” is the “enemy”
    Although Dr. Anthony Fauci retired from his government post last month, he is still talking.

    On Sunday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he would release “Fauci Files,” which could shed light on any communication between the company and the former top government expert on infectious diseases or the department that he ran.

    In an interview on CBS News’ “The Takeout,” Fauci said: “I have no idea what [Musk]’s talking about. I mean, there’s a lot of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and disinformation going on. I have nothing to say to him. I don’t understand what he’s doing. It’s just unfortunate.”

    Someone in my college class posts this:

    The poster is an MD with a blog—will not ID
    “them”/the blog.

    “Their” attitude is obvious.

    “They” has posted a heck of a lot of misinformation.

    “They” is resistant to another classmate trying to enlighten “them.”

    All of those who respond accept “their” info uncritically. These are highly educated people.

    BTW I have not seen any discussion as to how agreement of subject and verb works when “they” is used as a pronoun standing in for a singular proper noun.

      “They” usage overrides all rules of grammar.

      After all grammar was probably invented by white, heterosexual males who were racist, sexist, anti-gay, and multi-gender deniers.

      • Jarek January 8, 2023 at 2:48 pm #

        Indeed. He, she, singular, plural – no matter!

        The British poster defended it once against my traditional stance.

  111. Mick January 8, 2023 at 1:33 pm #

    I watched the very beginning of the Buffalo Bills game moments ago. Of course Damar Hamlin is being practically worshiped as a patron saint. Name, likeness and image everywhere. The number 3 as well.

    Just think what would be happening now if he died. Probably not quite as deified as George Floyd was/is. But it would’ve been close.

    Humans are such a silly animal. And I have nothing at all against Hamlin personally. From all accounts he seems to be a decent fella. But people are so hungry for “heroes” and someone or something to deify.

    Yet they won’t worship or respect the One who is the true Hero that they have heard about, will they. No, just some random NFL player who collapsed during a game. A guy that most had never heard of before.

    Or some other random guy with a long criminal record who resisted arrest and was higher than the highest kite when he “collapsed”, after stealing from a store.

    This is called godless paganism. Worshiping creatures rather than the Creator. One of the biggest reasons the US of A is doomed.

    It dooms itself.

        You don’t have to be “religious” to see that there is something wrong with turning every victim or potential victim or . . . who know what . . . into an object of worship. When the person has done nothing whatsoever to justify being worshipped.

        This is a question of psychology, not strictly “religion.”

        Is psychology a subset of religion or the other way around?

        • SoftStarLight January 8, 2023 at 3:21 pm #

          Hmmm wow, so you leave me to ruminate over this intense question. But then I do see the point. Both a priest and a psych doctor try to dig into your life and dismantle you in an effort to heal you. But everyone seems to agree that there must be an object of worship. I certainly respect the idea of elevating your worship and uplifting it to higher power. Not the lower orders. But I genuinely thought that he made a snide remark about religious people one time. It was on a thread sometime in the past.

          • Mick January 8, 2023 at 7:50 pm #

            I may have done that SSL. I don’t have a high opinion of many “religious” people, in the institutional sense.

            And of course I’m not a fan of the institutions themselves.

            He who hath ears, let him hear and understand. No need to go into detail. I’ve done that in the past and really shouldn’t have, not necessarily just here. I’m not the Judge. There’s only one.

            (I guess I should’ve said, “They who hath ears, let them hear….” to be more woke. Lol..)

          • SoftStarLight January 8, 2023 at 9:19 pm #

            Well, actually it would be “They who hath ears, let they hear” in order to match the object because them is then referring to someone or ones other than they. You’ll get it lol..

      • Mick January 8, 2023 at 3:30 pm #

        Well, I have a problem with anger…..and profanity when angry. So yes, a sinner, which can make me or anyone seem irreligious.

        This brings to mind something I read on a bumper sticker that was actually true years ago:

        “I’m not perfect. Just forgiven”.

        But of course I try to not take advantage of grace and just sin with abandon. Or, turning grace into license to sin.

        But anger, as you all here have seen, is a weakness of mine.

    • Jarek January 8, 2023 at 2:56 pm #

    Watching Biden getting off Air Force One in ElPaso. Seeing him infuriates me more and more with time. I just think about the damage his administration is doing to this country.

    Think about this, IMHO Biden is successfully making the United States subordinate to the Mob. I have been criticized here many times for using the Mob term. It is not the Mafia Mob, not the BlackMafia,it is not the cartels,

    It is all the above, a conglomerate being run by all the Mobs and they are succeeding.

    Is the separation of the WEF and the BRIICS groups the PTB of the Mob constituents?

    • Jarek January 8, 2023 at 3:16 pm #

      Yeah, ok, but it sends those who want to be deceived off on a tangent. See BRH’s start going on about the Mafia.

      Btw, they were originally Sicilian Patriots, fighing against foreign occupation. Now they make money bringing in Black Africans. Wow, what a fall.

      And the ones here once served their communities and had some honor, at least amongst themselves. But it became about money. The American Way of Death, also known as Capitalism.

      • BackRowHeckler January 8, 2023 at 5:29 pm #

        I get your point Janos. Early on there were many Jewish & Irish gangsters as well. Sometimes they worked together, sometimes against one another. For example, Murder, Incorporated was mostly Jewish gunmen, but it was led by Sicilian Albert Anastasia (& Jewish Louis Lepke) In the 70s, the murderous Irish ‘Westies’ joined up with the equally murderous Albert DeMeo crew, part of the Gambino Crime family. Here’s the difference between the Jewish Gangsters & the Sicilian Gangsters. Sicilians would often bring their sons and grandsons into The Life, dooming them to a certain early death or life in prison. On the other hand, as the decades went on, there were fewer and fewer Jewish Gangsters; when you get to the 1950s just a few loansharks and bookies. An example of this is the cagey mobster Meyer Lansky; one of his sons went to West Point and became an Army Officer, another became a college professor.

        • Q. Shtik January 8, 2023 at 6:19 pm #

          Here’s the difference between the Jewish Gangsters & the Sicilian Gangsters. – BRH

          ==========

          The Sicilian gangsters had Italian accents. The Jewish gangsters wore yarmulkes and had mezuzahs posted on their doorways.

          • BackRowHeckler January 8, 2023 at 6:38 pm #

            Starting about 1920 the Sicilian mobsters had New York & midwest Chicago accents. Jewish mobsters like Bugsy Siegel, Legs Diamond, Louis Lepke & Dutch Scultz were as tough as they came.

          • BackRowHeckler January 8, 2023 at 6:44 pm #

            Dutch Schultz, real name Arthur David Flegenheimer.

          • BackRowHeckler January 8, 2023 at 7:12 pm #

            Correction: Legs Diamond was Irish, but closely aligned with Arnold Rostein, the OG who fixed the 1919 World Series. Between 1921 & 1931 Legs was shot a dozen times on 4 different occasions, and survived!

            Dutch Schultz: “Can’t anybody here kill this mug?”

            Finally, in ’31, Dutch Schultz’s hitmen finally caught up with Legs in a rooming house in Albany, putting two into the back of his head. A year later they killed Mrs. Diamond, afraid she knew too much and might talk.

          Oh, boy, are you dreaming.

          The Jewish gangsters were the ones who successfully melded the underworld to the upperworld.

          Exhibit A: The Pritzker family.

          That guy who went to West Point, you think therefore he was no longer a Jewish gangster?

    NY Post

    As if George Santos hadn’t been dealing with enough scrutiny, the congressman-elect appeared to flash a white power symbol in the House Chambers Thursday.

    The Long Island liar unfolded his arms to reveal his left hand making a sideways “OK gesture,” a symbol co-opted by white supremacists, while casting his 10th vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for House Speaker.

    White supremacists began using the “OK” hand gesture in 2017, but the gesture was officially added to the Anti-Defamation League’s database of symbols used by hate groups in 2019.

    The three fingers and circle made by the pointer and thumb represented “W” and “P,” respectively, for “white power.”

    The gesture gained notability as a hate symbol after New Zealand white supremacist and mass shooter Brenton Tarrant flashed the symbol in court.

    Anglin:

    Lying about being Jewish to gain political power is the funniest and best idea ever.

    I’ve been telling people to do this for years.

    Jarek: I know nothing about such mudras. He does seem to be doing something though. Is he pretending to be White too? Lol as SSL would say.

    He some kind of Portuguese mutt. Part Indian and Black perhaps? Alone among European nations, Portugal brought in a huge Black slave population into Europe. They disappeared into the population, changing it forever.

    But clever! He never claimed to be Jewish just Jew-ish.

    He stood next to Matt Gaetz, with Gaetz smiling strangely. We’re winning, volks!

    Is it wrong? Well they’ve pretended to be White whenever it suited them, right? So…..

    • Mick January 8, 2023 at 5:27 pm #

      So, this weirdo stood next to Matt Gaetz, the leader of the anti-McCarthy group, as he voted FOR McCarthy. And Gaetz smiled strangely.

      Okay. Makes sense.

      • SoftStarLight January 8, 2023 at 9:23 pm #

      One of the last of the old time mainstreet movie theaters, in Niantic, Ct, recently closed for good. It was really a charming little place, built by Warner Bros. back in the day. The owner claimed the movies coming out are so bad nobody wants to pay to see them.

      Last fall I was walking around the little town of Canaan, Ct, came across an abandoned movie theatre on a side street, marquee still up but the glass in the lobby papered over with old newspaper. It must have been a grand little place at one time, now a ruin. A brass plaque on the building read ‘MGM 1941’.

    Here is one of the more ridiculous anecdotal occurrences I experienced during the covid plandemic:

    I was working at a college and they locked down immediately for covid19 in mid-March, 2020, and there was panic panic panic.

    The Marketing Department went into action immediately. They were given a shitload of funds in order to create all sorts of Covid19 ‘facts’ and info and PR. Ridiculous. Then they set themselves up as a testing center (!) and aspired to become a hub for vaccine distribution (I don’t know if the latter happened because I left). They received millions of dollars in gov’t money they don’t have to account for or pay back.

    When the vaxxes started becoming available, every single one of my coworkers were clamoring to get them. I just stayed silent (was thankfully still working remotely).

    The most surreal thing at this point was attending a webinar updating us about the PANDEMIC.

    Appearing in the video was a guy – masked up despite being remote – who couldn’t sound more paranoid. He was the person hired to keep up on covid19 updates – so, in charge of The Science. This was about 1.5 years after the whole hoax started. Says he, “My wife and I wear masks at home most of the time, and we are finally scheduling a vacation for the first time in 2 years after we get our vaccinations. My wife has not gone out in public for 2 years.”

    Ummmm wow. OK.

    Then: “We are mandating all personnel to continue to follow all covid19 protocols, masking, and vaccinations when on campus. And if you do not get vaccinated, you must test weekly.” (which is why I left).

    So THEN HE SAYS: “So far, there have been 5 cases and NO DEATHS in the entire county since March 2020.” (The county has nearly a million people in it).

    That one really floored me. Of course, everyone said it was due to the college’s quick response to the pandemic. Which is nonsense. The entire county doesn’t consist of only the college! But we were expected to believe it, and remain afraid, even though the most paranoid covid death culter on the planet just said there were virtually no victims of this pandemic!

    This is how they did it, folks. Through marketing departments and inducing fear against an invisible and virtually non-existent threat.

      Yeah colleges…..that’s where all the smartest folks are. Lol…

        Right? Good lord. You should have seen the mandatory Covid19 training they forced us to do. It was like Sesame Street and of course, full of propaganda and lies.

    Brazil’s Jan 8th is like our Jan 6th….

    “An estimated 3,000 people stormed Brazil’s Congress on Sunday in protest of left-wing President Lula’s win

    They believe that President Lula’s victory was stolen from right-wing Bolsonaro after he lost the election

    His supporters have been demanding that the military get involved in the row before the violent scenes

    Thousands of people broke into the building, smashing glass and setting of smoke flares in Brazil

    Many clashed with police outside in violent scenes as the government condemned the actions as ‘absurd’

      It’s almost as if the CIA was behind theirs, too! 😉

      Time to send in the Economic Hit Men!

      I think it is going to be used by the Biden regime to further attack civil liberties here. The regime mouthpieces are all singing a chorus of attack and destroy. It corresponds nicely with the changeover in Congress. They want to further demonize anyone who speaks against the evil empire and now they have something more than just J6.

      Neocons now have the Dems & libs on their side! Neat trick, eh?

      • Islander January 8, 2023 at 11:00 pm #

        The neocons flocked to Hillary well before 2016. That is why her State Department was infested with them. That is why Maidan.

          Yep. The Obama foreign policy team was neocon from top to bottom. They made inroads into the Bill Clinton administration, although he, to his credit, did say ‘no’ to a middle east war they wanted to get going during his second term. So they got that done with Dubya.

          I think that the Monica Lewinsky scandal was a response from the neocons when he told them “no”. Ken Starr, who was a neocon asset, changed the focus from financial dealings to sex quite suddenly if you remember. That ball got rolling when Linda Tripp, another neocon asset, recorded phone conversations with Lewinsky regarding her affair with Slick Willie.

          Not being an apologist for Clinton, but if he had given the neocon establishment what they wanted the Lewinsky affair never would’ve gone public. This is a major “how” they keep politicians in line. They are all scumbags so it’s not hard to get and keep dirt on them.

      General Zircon, Admiral Kinzhal and Captain Vanguard are all ready for Decision Making Centers.

      Primary Decision making center means NATO HQ and EU HQ.

      Try it, War criminal.

    World has entered and is in some sort of interregnum – a transition period – to a new reality. This could be the anticipated Russian Winter Offensive in Ukraine or some Je-ne-sais-quoi.
