Reality is penetrating the fog and fury of propaganda spewed out over cable-TV news in what may be the last desperate full-out campaign to sell “vaccines” to the credulous. Omicron is a bust, despite the shrieking about overstuffed hospitals (they’re not) in The New York Times.

Just as there is a crack-up boom in the final stage of a financial crisis, there is a climactic surge of hysteria in the Covid-19 war against Western Civ. Now, Dr. Anthony Fauci is pushing proof-of-vaxx for US air travel because, “[a] vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated…” as he laid it out on ABC News’s This Week show Sunday with Jonathan Karl.

Monday morning on NPR, Dr. Fauci was beating the drum about the unvaxxed being a menace to society as maxi-spreaders of omicron. Is it possible he hasn’t heard that the vaxxed are catching it at a greater rate despite their vaxxes than the unvaxxed? Do you know why? Because their previous vaxxes have de-tuned their immune systems, that’s why. By the way, so far, one death has been attributed to omicron in the US — and even that case is a muddle. And Dr. Fauci is beseeching the twice-vaxxed to go get boostered? Is he determined to wreck absolutely every immune system in the land? Kind of looks that way, a little bit.

I confess I am torn between two views of this fiasco. The first is that the notoriously incompetent Dr. Fauci and his colleagues (read RFK, Jr.s book) simply blundered through the Covid-19 disaster making a series of reckless choices, and about halfway through the crisis made the dastardly decision to cover-up their errors by doubling and tripling down on these mistakes. For instance, the policy to suppress and ban cheap and effective treatments that would have un-horsed their stupendously profitable “vaccines” from the emergency use authorization that got the mRNA cocktails into the public’s arms without proper testing. Some months down the road we will learn that this Fauci combine caused millions of people to die unnecessarily both from treatments withheld and from the adverse effects of vaxxes themselves.

The other view — that is becoming ever-harder to disregard — is that the Covid-19 pandemic was a deliberate program by a gang of powerful international adventurers to install a regime of surveillance and extreme control over formerly free citizens — all in the service of “re-setting” the ailing global financial system, reducing the population of elder pensioners to relieve the West’s payment obligations, and stifling industrial economies as a cure for climate change. It has sounded a little preposterous to me that such manifest evil, as otherwise seen only in James Bond movies and newsreels of the Nazis, could actually be true. But it is looking more and more of-a-piece with actions like the years-long mischief between Dr. Fauci and the Wuhan lab; the preparatory positioning of the pharma companies for just such a pandemic, including patent filings, to enable the quick release of their dubious “vaccines”; the janky mail-in ballot election of 2020 with the installation of an obvious puppet President “Joe Biden”; the insane legislation agenda of the Democratic Party; the long-running Woke insurrection against Western culture, values, and common sense; and the arrant bad faith of the news media reporting all the above as dishonestly as possible.

It may turn out to be various combinations of both views, with a uniting overlay of mass formation psychosis. In any case, I’m serenely convinced that we will learn the truth about all this, and perhaps not too far down the line. At this point, the official narratives are crazier than anything out of Alice in Wonderland, leading with the nakedly absurd idea that the vaxxed must be protected from the unvaxxed — though all are susceptible to Covid and equally capable of spreading it.

Do the doctors actually still believe this fucking nonsense? The ones on TV, maybe, but the rank-and-file must be getting rather nervous about what they have been responsible for in following the diktats of corrupt public health officials. (Keep your eye on suicides among them.)

On Sunday night, a monster of stupidity named Dr. William Schaffner, professor of infectious disease at Vanderbilt University, came on CNN and importuned Americans to get their children vaxxed. Do you suppose he is unaware of what these mRNA shots will do to children’s hearts, brains, and immune systems (nothing good, in case you haven’t been paying attention) as weighed against their near-zero risk of getting sick from Covid? Wouldn’t you like to know how much grant money this rascal’s lab is getting from the NIAID, NIH, or from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

This traditionally blank week between Christmas and New Year’s, when almost nothing gets done, is the opportunity to stop-and-assess the situation. Do you not see what is going on? Will you allow yourself to keep getting hosed by illegitimate authorities? Do you want your personal sovereignty back? Do you want your country back? Will you go along with obvious malevolence just to avoid standing out and risking your status, your livelihood, your special privileges? Do you actually believe in what’s known as your sacred honor? And what relation it has to reality? Do you understand that periodically in history the human race goes crazy and does terrible things that it later regrets? This is one of those times.

      One of the often-overlooked side effects (if not the main effect), of Hollywood stories is that those with compromised imaginations often write off the tales they see as purely fantasy that can only happen on the silver screen and never in real life. People with working imaginations understand that mankind is capable of absolutely anything, especially when coupled with the forces of absolute evil.

      The entertainment industry programs the masses to believe that bad things only happen in movies and that everything works out well in the end. But for those whose imagination is functioning at a higher level, what we see in non-reality is merely a precursor of what can be acted out in reality and eventually will happen.

      They always warn us of what they are planning to do, we just tend to ignore and even deny the possibility. Franky, I appreciate the heads up, because I can see what’s coming and it is coming fast indeed.

        “At the end I think states ought to dissolve, because I think they’re illegitimate structures …As long as people… are able to free themselves from the doctrinal controls imposed on them by their self-appointed betters and mentors… they’ll continue to be able to struggle for peace and justice and freedom and limitations on violence and constraints on power…

        The immediate problem is to free ourselves from the shackles imposed very consciously by the kind of people… who don’t want the facts to be known– and for very good reasons– because if people know the facts, they’re not going to tolerate them. So therefore you have to prevent them from knowing. You have to indoctrinate them. You have to tell them stories about how we’re really good guys and if we use violence it must be for the general good, because we represent the course of history… That’s the job of propagandists for power and violence, and it’s the task of populations to free themselves from those kinds of controls and domination.” ~ Noam Chomsky (interview)

      I suggest the next step along the path to recovery is to stop calling Tony Fauci “Doctor Tony Fauci”. Regardless of his credentials they are misleading in the extreme.

      It’s like referring to Joseph Goebbels as a journalist.

      He would be better identified as “Homicidal Psychopath Tony Fauci”, not Doctor Tony Fauci. And as for he and his predator and parasite cabal of career swindlers, murderous deceivers, and corrupt, sock puppet traitors, I suggest the 7.62 Chinese solution publicly administered should be considered essential for the speediest fiscal recovery.

      This would be an act of national self-defence.

        Jim, when I read this, it made me wonder if you have read Robert F Kennedy Jr’s book, or listened to any of his interviews. You wrote:
        ” two views of this fiasco. The first is that the notoriously incompetent Dr. Fauci and his colleagues (read RFK, Jr.s book) simply blundered through the Covid-19 disaster making a series of reckless choices, and about halfway through the crisis made the dastardly decision to cover-up their errors by doubling and tripling down on these mistakes”

        Sorry, there is no way you can read RFK and come up with the conclusion that Fauci is “notoriously incompetent” — quite the opposite. Check out what RFK says in this 11-minute interview segment (at https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/robert-kennedy-jr-war-room-us-intelligence-agencies-military-involved-wuhan-lab-research-video/ ). Copied below is some of that interview:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        And those were on the studies that Tony Fauci funded.

          Excellent summary.
          In short, unconventional, asymmetric warfare (let’s not forget the psychological components).
          When Trump said the “China virus” he feel into the trap. The only reason Wuhan was used was for reasons of plausible deniability. Possibly, some of the outcomes may also suit the CCP agenda for some sort of hegemonic status but that’s debatable.
          This is an unconventional war waged by the US deep state (CIA-Pentagon-NGOs-elements within the institutional state military-intel-tech-complex et alia), more broadly co-opting the globo-corporate-complex, epitomised by the Davos clique and affiliates (many many prime ministers, presidents and senior politicians also involved, e.g., WEF Young Global Leaders) and the G7 Central Bankers, as described by Catherine Austin Fitts.

            So how may are they looking to shave off their tax paying populations? Seems a bit indiscriminate, not to mention lack lustre in its effectiveness. Who benefits from this if the targets turn out to be the ignorant buffoons who rely on dewormer and lupus meds as their stand against a 1.5% killer. Sneeky of them using such a low grade killer when they had the first SARS in stock. That one killed 6%, MeRV kills 13 %. Both known quantities. If their dead, they don’t pay taxes, their bank loans, buy cars, trucks, online porn or any of the other things that we rely on in this age. Killing the milk cow is never a good strategy.

          As a signatory & charter member of the 2014 Cambridge Working Group Call-to-Action on deadly American manufactured pandemic pathogens purposed for Fourth Generation Biowarfare of the Offensive kind I, for one, can assure all that Obama’s administration accepted the findings of our lobby group and acted admirably to put in place a Moratorium on GOF Research all due to the fact that GOF is far too dangerous experimentation to conduct in face of the risks to civilization if such research is actually carried out.

          Trump’s administration vetoed the Obama admin Moratorium at the behest of both Fauci & Gates lobbying in the first weeks of Trump’s admin. Pentagon & CIA were obviously lobbying for funding well ahead of the actual veto that Trump’s admin signed.

          There is no doubt that the Sars-2-nCoV-19 GOF bioweapon was manufactured at Fort Detrick U.S. Army BSL-4 in August of 2019 whereby the CDC ordered that bioterrorism laboratory closed down due to the leak that occurred when the U.S. Army Epidemiologists tested the Chimera on a herd of pigs penned outdoors on that compound in August of 2019.

          As a Counterintelligence expert with formal education attained in Behavioural Medicine under the direction of Canada’s top Neuroscientist/Experimental Psychologist H. Anisman I, for one, can state without equivocation that Sars-2-nCoV-19 is now endemic to the entire biosphere and cannot be erradicated as this novelCorona GOF bioweapon is unstoppable via the research domain.

          Global indeed, OG.

          This very weekend the Going Direct Reset began – or moved on – in South Edinburgh. A young neighbour who understands the narrative told me this morning that the cash machine outside the corner shop has been removed, and the one outside the little Co-op 3 minutes’ walk in the other direction is to be removed as well.

          I wonder if the Führerin’s coming new lockdown will include the banks, so I can’t get cash directly either.

          Things are speeding up and Mike Yeadon’s timeline to tyranny is looking increasingly prescient. My younger daughter (36) is greatly excited to have just bought her first flat. She’s hoping to get in by end Jan. Needless to say she’s sunk all her savings into it – about £60,000 – and has a huge mortgage too. I reckon she’ll be lucky to get 2 or 3 months of pleasure in doing it up before it all belongs to Blackrock. And when I shuffle off etc. I think a 100% inheritance tax on their CBDC accounts will put paid to my thoughts of my kids inheriting my modest place to help them out.

          She gets upset when I talk vaxx and vaxx passports, so I’m saying nothing. Let her enjoy the two or three months of having her own place, before the bastards make her comply in every way just to eat.

          In other news, England has apparently started sending teams round the doors (watch out, Slugoon) ‘armed’ with syringes. They now regularly talk about people who haven’t yet had ‘their’ jabs, as if they and the syringe had some tryst arranged by eternal destiny.

            When I was a kid (in the 1970s) we still had adults who had lived through a World War, the Great Deppression and then another World War.

            When I was a kid, children were protected (as much as was possible) from the evils of Reality while adults dealt with them.

            Over these past 50 years of fiat PetroDollars tethered to nothing, adults became Big children and Reality is a buzz-kill not to be discussed.

            They don’t have an excuse for our two local ATMs because neither shop has ever been closed during the ‘pandemic’. The one at the corner shop is particularly well used at weekends by the student and young professional demographic, oddly enough.

            And the one at the Co-op promises clean, 3-day virus-free notes as well, so it’s not for hygienic reasons! I was planning to take the maximum amount of cash every day till i had a decent amount in the house (which is not without risk either), but if you take serious amounts out of an actual bank branch you’re a priori suspected of money laundering or drug dealing!

            All they have to do is remove the ability to get cash and all of us holdouts will be forced into getting cards. Or chips. I’m sorry they are moving on that in the UK.
            I refused to get a cellphone for years, but when they ripped every public phone out and I had no way to call for help when I needed it, I gave in and got a phone.
            Way back in late 2014 I tried to buy a bus ticket in Los Angeles and they wouldn’t let me pay cash, although I had the exact amount.
            And all they have to do to push people into electric cars or self-driving Ubers is close the gas stations.
            Like they used to say in the cowboy movies “He won’t get far on foot”.

            In other news, England has apparently started sending teams round the doors (watch out, Slugoon) ‘armed’ with syringes.

            I did read that the government had been talking about it. Here’s our idiot Prime Minister:

            “I am all in favour of free choice but there comes a point when you cannot lock up 90 per cent of the country who are vaccinated for the ten per cent who refuse to be.”

            Just think about the utter absurdity of that statement for a moment. If you were vaccinated, then what would you suppose the purpose of it to be?

            90% of the population have been injected (they haven’t but that’s another story), way beyond any threshold for supposed herd immunity, and they need to be locked down to protect them from the remaining 10%? Say, what?

            I saw Chris Whitty’s desperate TV plea for everyone to get ‘boosted’ last night and received my text message this morning informing me that every adult NEEDS their booster. Guffaw.

            My wife and I tested positive today. She’s double-vaxxed. I, of course, am not. I’d say it’s a mild cold at best (sorry Joe, not the mass death you were hoping for). My wife is worse with a slight fever. Fucking ‘Omicron’.

            I no longer try to warn anyone about impending doom. (The rake you’re about to step on, the deer about to dart across the road – sure, I’ll let you know about that.) I won’t change anyone’s mind, we are all dug-in. All I would accomplish is to stigmatize myself as the “paranoid conspiracy theorist” – which would then erode my credibility in everything else.

            Better to remain on good terms until they pass over the edge of the waterfall – the waterfall they should have heard and seen approaching. But hey, they were happy, positive, and optimistic to the last drop.

            You’ve found the Holy Grail – natural immunity. Well done!

            I got that message too, in addition to another funereal-looking black-topped and -tailed letter from NHS Lothian about how vulnerable I am.

            And yes, I agree about the lunacy of the PM’s messaging. But my cleverer-than-me big bro phoned me on Christmas Eve or the day before. He’s the one in Hebden Bridge that used to teach at UMIST. A total covidian – I told him about how many people had died from the vaxxes and he said yes but all the hundreds of thousands who’d died of covid. I was glad when the his phone’s juice ran out and we got cut off.

            He also bemoaned the fact that the alternative information was on ‘odd websites’ as if they were going to put it on Dispatches. And why, he asked, would I compare a handful of maverick scientists and doctors with the thousands who were just doing the job every day?

            He is an absolutely perfect example of the ones you can show any amount of evidence and they won’t budge. I told him what happened to my husband too and it made no difference.

            Our last email exchange, about 6 weeks ago, ended when I asked why his wife was carrying a vaxx passport when she was every bit as infectious as an unvaxxed person. I got no response to that and was stupid enough to think I’d maybe got through to him. But it seems hopeless.

            At least they still want to visit, though – I haven’t met anyone yet with your issue of the daft in-laws not wanting you in their company. I don’t think that’s too much of a thing in the UK.

            I have followed this approach from the beginning. I’ve never tried to convince anybody not to take ‘vaccines’ or talked about Great Resets. Other people can jab themselves up to the gunwales, wear a rag on their face for ever more, whatever, not my problem. I just want to be left alone and the evidence is firmly on my side that vaccines, lockdowns, masks etc. have done nothing.

            What I have learned is that the majority of my fellow Brits are pathetic snivelling subservients and weirdly it seems totally unconnected to IQ, broad political beliefs or their views on Brexit.

            @Alba
            Natural immunity! Gosh, you conspiracy theorist! Don’t you know we can only boost or way out of this pandemic? That slimy shit Whitty said so along with the Fat Controller. Whether they certify me as naturally immune or not, I will not play the game of Covid passes, even if it means being excluded from society. I’ve chosen my hill.

            A young neighbour who understands the narrative told me this morning that the cash machine outside the corner shop has been removed, and the one outside the little Co-op 3 minutes’ walk in the other direction is to be removed as well.

            I think you’ll find that’s a result of capitalism at work … far fewer people are using cash money in transactions these days, so there isn’t enough traffic to many ATMs to warrant their upkeep.

            My younger daughter (36) is greatly excited to have just bought her first flat. She’s hoping to get in by end Jan. Needless to say she’s sunk all her savings into it – about £60,000 – and has a huge mortgage too. I reckon she’ll be lucky to get 2 or 3 months of pleasure in doing it up before it all belongs to Blackrock.

            This is all very dark and pessimistic. Your daughter has a contract – if she pays the mortgage as agreed, nobody can take her flat from her – not even Blackrock.

            What on earth is going to happen in 2-3 months that will see the breakdown of society, the rule of law, and the legality of contracts?

            You’re getting so down about stuff for no reason – there isn’t a 100% inheritance tax, and there never will be.

            I expect you’re reading far too much doomer-porn stuff, and not doing enjoyable things, just like your buddies the Night Owl and MaryFullOfIt … they’re in a very dark place too.

            You’re talking totally paranoid conspiracy now Green Alba – and I think you really need professional help. I’m being serious. There is no “Going Direct Reset” – and there certainly is no way all loans and debts are going to be cancelled.

            Apart from the fact that you and I live in robust democracies, and we won’t take too kindly to being pushed around, precisely how would loans and debts be cancelled?

            And even if it were possible (and it isn’t) – who wins and who loses from loan-debt cancellation?. The ruling elites (those you seem to fear so much) would lose trillions. Nt happening.

            You’re going further and further down a very deep whirlpool Green Alba – for goodness sake try and shake it off. Your daughter should be congratulated and you should share her joy – not spread wild conspiracy around yet another dark household.

            @Karen-troll

            If only you were just stupid, instead of being a paid disinformation agent.

            The ‘Going Direct Reset’ is the name the central banks themselves give to what they are implementing, not me. They have already voted on it, quite openly, although not with any great public fanfare. At least 40 central banks are currently testing it. The ‘Great Reset’ is the simpler name given by the WEF in their own literature – Catherine Austin Fitts suggests thinking of the WEF and Schwab as the marketing department for their openly stated plans.

            https://www.newsmax.com/finance/peterreagan/central-bank-fed-reset/2019/10/18/id/937758/

            Newsmax – I am completely unfamiliar with them, but Elysianfield has mentioned on a number of occasions that they are a source you can trust …

            If a cohesive web of organisations, with BlackRock at the helm, can topple a financial system, they will have no difficulty stripping the powerless of their assets. BlackRock don’t need to observe the Law. They are, de facto, the Law. They run our governments. If you need to, listen to the first 10 minutes of Matthew Johnson’s ‘The Apogee of Liberalism’ (with thanks to Sean Coleman for the heads up).

            See how I can pretend for a few minutes that you are just ignorant and stupid, rather than being an evil paid shill? An exercise of the imagination, nothing more.

            BTW, regarding democracies, I just listened to a short item of Dr Vernon Coleman’s. He played a clip from a BBC radio programme, where one Emma Barnett or Burnett said quite openly on air that “we {the BBC] don’t engage with ‘anti-vaxxers’, whether they are right or wrong.”

            So there you have it, from the horse’s mouth. An admission that their much-vaunted ‘balance’ is nothing more than a lie, and the organisation merely an arm of government.

            Not that the government is any more than an arm of the global government.

            As if you didn’t know that, troll.

          • ianw December 28, 2021 at 7:08 pm #

            From Forbes Magazine:

            “When you start talking about resetting the educational and social contracts and working conditions, you are talking a radical social agenda. I believe we must—and will—have considerable change in the social structure of this country.

            That is what the current partisan politics is telling us. Too many people on both sides feel the current “social contract,” however they define it, is not working for them. Income and wealth inequality are very real.

            I am not convinced a WEF-style “Great Reset” is the answer.

            Fortunately, I don’t think WEF will get very far. More likely, this is another example of wealthy, powerful elites salving their consciences with faux efforts to help the masses, and in the process make themselves even wealthier and more powerful.”

            That’s pretty much my view too – the WEF “Great Reset” is a PR stunt, trying to keep the ageing Schwab and the Davos rituals relevant, when they are becoming decreasingly so.

            There may be the Mother of all Depressions coming for world capitalism – even well within our lifetime – but you don’t need arm-waving conspiracy theories to explain and understand the how and why of these things.

            That Newsmax article was written by an out-and-out gold bug, and it certainly shows.

            Again.

            I’m not interested in Forbes either. I was just pointing out that the Going Direct Reset is the central banks’ own term for their project, which they are currently running.

            There is no “Great Reset” occurring or about to occur (direct or otherwise).

            Those who believe such things demonstrate a significant lack of understanding of how markets and economies work, and how economic regulators are constrained.

            A financial crisis brought on by inflation, demand destruction, resource shortages, supply chain disruption, the pandemic, and social unrest … that might be possible, but it won’t be caused nor cured by the Dandies of Davos.

            You guys need to quit sounding defeated already. – TaxDonkey

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

            Dear TaxD, I have chosen to enter my comment under your comment for the simple reason there was an available Reply button. I am actually replying to a bunch of comments from above yours written by the likes of GreenAlba, Slugoon, Blackbird, Paula D, and possibly others.

            I got off the phone (around 5 PM) from a call that ran on for well over an hour with my first cousin, BK. We hadn’t spoken for about a year and a half. BK is without question the smartest relative I have on either side, paternal or maternal. My father and his mother were siblings. And he always has been noticeably smart from about 3 y/o to his present age, about 72. Yale grad including a masters, Johns Hopkins PHD in neuroscience, still teaches at Johns H, guides the careers of several “post docs.” Trust me, he’s not only educated, he’s obviously smart on almost any subject. I’ve written about BK before. He was a suite-mate with John Bolton for 7 years at Yale.

            Yeah, so what? you may ask. Well, it’s actually quite depressing.

            He inquired about me, my wife and our extended family. I reported the good news that we were all healthy and no one had had Covid. Also, I told of every one’s vaxx status. I, likewise, inquired of his family including two sons and two grandsons, ages 5 and 2. He and his two sons have been fully vaxxed and boosted. His 5 y/o grandson has been vaxxed but the 2 y/o is not eligible for vaxxing… too young. The younger of BK’s two sons came down with Covid recently… sniffles, sore throat, then recovered. Two tests confirmed positive for Covid, the first being the PCR test, the second some other test. To my amazement BK does not see any irony in being vaxxed , boosted and coming down with Covid (assumed to be the Omicron variant). Instead the booster is credited with the mildness of the infection, like, or even less severe than, a common cold. At our Christmas-day dinner my own Son-in-Law reasoned identically.

            I asked if he, BK, had heard that the FDA had itself proclaimed back in July that the PCR test was deemed unreliable (perhaps totally ineffective or worthless) but that they approved continuing to use it right up to Dec 31st after which, presumably, some other test(s) would become available. No, BK had not heard this.

            BK reminded me several times in our talk that virology was not his area of expertise but what he had read confirmed to his satisfaction that the vast majority of Covid cases were among the UNvaxxed. We here at CFN are hearing the opposite. How can there be such doubt in the data about something so important?

            I asked if he had heard about Ivermectin. “That’s the horse medicine isn’t it?” This is a scoffing line delivered like a lead pipe to the crown of the head to squelch anything one might have to say about that medication in a positive light.

            Don’t get me wrong, neither BK nor I delivered our remarks in a way that might harm our lifelong filial (cousin) relationship.

            Sooo, I am experiencing the same level of frustration as GreenAlba and others when realizing we, with opposite views, are truly wasting our breath.

          • Slugoon December 28, 2021 at 3:47 am #

            As you have seen, Q, people’s view on this is not related to IQ or their possible expertise in a specialist field.

            It’s like a religion now and they’ll always have an answer, such as the standard trope that it ‘would have been worse without the vaccine’.

            Now in my case that is nonsense because my wife is vaxxed and I’m not and if anything she feels worse than me..

            If your cousin cared to look at the stats he’d realise that the age and fitness of his son has more to do with shaking it off, not the clot shot.

            You just have to let them get on with it and hope the endless injections and perpetual government interference is a clue that the vaccines and masks are doing bugger all.

            And in the UK the vaxxed represent the majority of cases, even when adjusted for proportion of vax vs. non-vax.

          • ianw December 28, 2021 at 7:48 pm #

            I am experiencing the same level of frustration as GreenAlba and others when realizing we, with opposite views, are truly wasting our breath.

            Interesting post Q. Shtik – and I’d like to contribute a different perspective.

            It may ultimately boil to down to what your vision of version of the country is (whatever country is relevant), and this is thematically what our host JHK is often speaking to.

            Many people (a significant majority in most places) hold to beliefs and values that have been ingrained for generations.

            That representative governments operate with the consent of the governed, that democracy (voting) is a powerful constraint on corrupt and wayward behaviour, and that ultimately governments have to “do good” to survive.

            Part of this is a strong belief in “the science” and “the data”, and that rational people rely on this in making informed decisions.

            I for one firmly believe that being vaccinated reduces my chance of contracting the virus in the first, reduces my capacity to be infectious to others, and certainly will lead to a milder version of the disease if I do contract it.

            This view says that the benefit of vaccination far outweighs the small risk of bad side effects.

            And all the health-authority data (whether from Botswana or Japan or Nebraska) still shows that the unvaccinated pro rata suffer much more than the vaccinated.

            Your cousin’s version of the world is the mainstream. Those who reject “the science” as corrupt and compromised, or reject “health data” for similar reasons – while common enough on here – are still very much fringe views, and are seen as such by the majority.

            The most fringy see Covid-19 as a “hoax”, as a part of World Domination, and the vaccines as a deliberate de-population measure. Or even more likely to lead to contracting Covid-19.

            Is it any wonder that the vast majority of rational people (and they are not easily duped sheep) see all this as serious tin-foil paranoia?

            The use of Ivermectin “horse paste” was widely (and dangerously) promoted in the early days of that particular drama. It had hardly more credibility than bleach and ultraviolet light – maybe sitting with HCQ, if that.

            The use of human Ivermectin (for the treatment of parasites including head lice) was much more under the radar – mostly because the right-wing mavericks pushing the “horse paste” were either ignorant, or deliberately misleading.

            The two “visions of America” have a gulf between them, and it seems virtually impossible for one side to persuade the other.

            And it’s not just about the pandemic – in the same way that barnstorming School Board meetings isn’t really about mask mandates for pupils – it is about an ever-decreasing white team not having everything its own way any more – and they resent it highly.

            Slugger – can you point me to those sorts of up-to-date stats – cases / hospitalisations / deaths by vaccination status? Despite trying, I can’t ferret them out.

          • Slugoon December 29, 2021 at 6:16 pm #

            Ian, I posted this last week and you commented on it.

            https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-omicron-fake-out/#comment-657151

            Public Health England was initially producing a series of reports called ‘Variants of Concern Technical Briefings’ though they are now being published by its replacement, the UK Health Security Agency. Months ago they started to include statistics on Delta cases broken down by vaccination status. It soon became apparent that cases were higher amongst the vaccinated and when excerpts started to appear on social media they stopped including it.

            The UKHSA is now including such information in their series of Vaccine Surveillance Reports, which you can find via my link above. There is a graph showing vaccination rates for each age group and there are tables showing the numbers of cases, hospitalisations and deaths, broken down by vaccination status.

            With regard to ‘cases’ there is clearly a far higher proportion of vaccinated people getting Covid than unvaccinated, even when when pro-rata’d. I think I acknowledged that the reverse is true of hospitalisations and deaths – the vaccinated seem slightly better off than the unvaccinated once you’ve corrected for the % of that age group vaccinated. But in absolute terms the vaccinated are dying or occupying hospital beds in far greater numbers.

            Also, for context, realise there are 67 million people in the UK and well over half a million of us die every year. Now look at the tiny number of people who are actually dying with Covid. And remember, this is *with*. Even the MSM were reporting last week that 65-70% of Covid patients in hospital went in for something completely unrelated and are only classed as ‘Covid’ because everyone gets tested and they happened to have it.

            Happy to read your comments on all this.

            And this is why our Health Secretary is a lying sack of shit when he says nine out of ten Covid hospitalisations are unvaccinated. Their own data proves him spectacularly wrong but don’t expect a BBC journalist to do zhe’s job. Honestly, never could I imagine so many compulsive liars and dishonest charlatans could exist in one government.

            Happy to read your comments on all this.

            Thanks slugoon – I checked out the tables on pp 36-38 or so of the Report.

            It still seems to me that – given the very high proportion of the population that is vaccinated – the unvaccinated are contracting the virus, presenting to hospital, and dying, at a much higher rate than the fully vaxxed (both as a proportion of their own cohort, and as a proportion of the total population).

            We could argue the finer differences between absolute and pro rata, but I think we both understand that.

            Looking at the tables, the cross-over point seems to be somewhere around say 55, in that below that age, the unvaxxed present in far higher numbers, in all categories, and above that age, the vaccinated tend to lead the pack.

            This could simply be a result of a much higher vaccinate rate for the over-55s (so there are far fewer unvaxxed who can catch it), or it could mean that the vaccines are less effective the older you are, or a mix of both.

            Anyway – I’m happy to be vaccinated, and even happier when the subject is not over-politicised, or not used to seed crazy conspiracy theories.

            I agree that governments everywhere (and of all stripes) have botched their responses to the pandemic, because government is much more complicated these days, there is a much stronger media scrutiny, and there is a lot of regulatory capture – powerful interests are incredibly influential.

            And despite all this, politicians never tire of patting themselves on the back for doing such a swell job. It’s sickening – but not unsurprising.

            And this has been my frustration from the beginning, it HAS been politicised. It’s nearly all been about politics and manipulating people and silencing alternative views, not about people’s health or right to make their own choices.

            I’m happy you’re vaccinated. I’m happy I’m not. If only governments would see it the same way.

          O.G.

          “… if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…” check. yes.

          Whether Fauxi et al “stumbled and bumbled” or whether they have acted deliberately is irrelevant. They are key enablers in all the bad things we are experiencing. Wittingly or not, they are serving the powers of darkness.

          So, it’s hard to tell if you are serious or cynical about Gates and Fauci’s place in history though, and it seems out of character (for you). Their place in history will not be good.

          JHK pointed out the world’s problems 16 years ago. I would not be surprised if Gates read it and felt “validated”. Yet JHK does not seem to be on board with the “Global Reset”. These people, who “know better” and have the money and resources to “fix” the world, have been around forever (and the current group predates JHK by decades). It’s just that finally, the technology exists to allow them to leverage their wealth into physical control to a degree never before possible.

          I read once that “most normal people want a decent job, good home, happy family, not to lord it over others” but others are not content with this, they want to control and rule.

          Gates and Schwab and the “elite” are the others.

          Their moment in the sun, or Wikileaks

          (which is one reason to keep books and papers, BTW–because we are already seeing censorship online, and soon the “Ministry of Truth” at Google, Facebook, Apple, the CCP, et al will control the past, in their quest to control the future)

          Their moment in the sun, as “saviors of the world” will be brief, 42 months max. Perhaps they themselves know this and this is why they are hell-bent on making the most of their “chance”, before it slips away…

            To Lizharmon..

            The US military wasn’t defeated by the Taliban. They were never meant to “win” in the traditional sense. Only extend and pretend. Perma war was the objective. It was the bankers directing the corrupt intel services, who, themselves, harvested 20 years of huge off-the-books funds via the drug trade.

            Why did we abandon a reported $4 billion dollars of equipment?
            Certainly not incompetence. It served two missions: first to secure new toys from the obsolete arms divisions of the military industrial complex, and second, to ensure there was a “worthy opponent”. Can’t have a military action without a worth opponent. But much of the armed conflict phase of warfare is obsolete, and last giant orders are being filled before going high tech. That doesn’t require manufacturing manpower. All AI and endless tech upgrades.

          • SmokieHillVillain December 27, 2021 at 8:12 pm #

            Could agree more S-D.

            I think this is perhaps Mr Kunstler’s best article of 2021. A nice summation of where we are, in general, in the western world (so-called).

            How anybody can deny that this is part of some grand neo-Malthusian, eugenicist, populationist agenda is beyond me. It’s been simply too bonkers. It’s not merely about the money.

            Central bankers/Blackrock/Vanguard et al. are central to all this, as are the WEF flunkies.
            I mean, it’s there for all to see on the WEF website. These people are unapologetically neo-Malthusian and eugenicist.

            Decarbonisation looks, smells and feels like a genocidal agenda, whether all those involved realise it or not. Many if not all must.

            Electrification of just-about-everything is even more bonkers. Renewables should not be described as such, but as non-renewables – lots of elemental metals and alloys of various kinds, lots of cement, concrete, and lots of metallurgy and heavy engineering requiring high heat processes that don’t translate well to electrification, as far as my limited knowledge goes. They can tap into renewable sources of energy fluxes, whether wind, water/tidal, or even solar. But they all require modern, high capital, high energy deployment. Lots of investment. Risk management etc. That’s before considering materials extraction. For all things ‘mining’ related, just have a look at Dr Simon Michaux, for instance. (Electrification of everything simply won’t work; but hey, my Dad was recently reading a letter that he had sent to his mother in July 1963, when he was a merchant seaman, and there he was congratulating her that they had just ‘got the light’ (rural electrification, as it was called in Ireland)). So, he had lived the first 17 years of his life (b.1944, he left for sea in 1961), about half a mile from where I’m typing this, without electricity, without running water, without a flush toilet [that was installed in 1986]). Hardship can be tolerated. Tyranny not so much, however.
            http://ireland2050.ie/past/electricity/

            So, we have a problem. The per capita availability of all resources will decline in the next few decades. Unless and until, population can be ‘checked’. (as our betters see it).
            That’s one aspect.

            A cultural shift is also needed (as our rulers and betters [sic] see it). Hence, lockdowns, masks, etc as devices of demoralisation. Also the reason for the inane and absurd policies. “Dazed and confused” is the objective (consonant with Mattias DeSmet’s mass formation psychosis). To destroy mass consumerism (while extolling and coercing mass medications, ironically).

            Most on this forum know all this. Thankfully.

            42 months max. Maybe. They will fail. To some extent. Maybe a large extent. To some extent they’ve failed already. I do not believe the figures for vaccine uptake. Anywhere. That is a plus, i.e., the lower than projected/gamed vaccine uptake (fortunately, if anybody has seen the latest contribution from Kevin McKernan and JJ Cooey on twitch!)

            Their system will fail. Ultimately. They know it. Hence, the seeming desperation (will intensify in 2022, imho).
            Some of us know it.
            But that doesn’t mean ‘we’ ‘win’.
            Not at all.
            That likely means hardship.
            A different kind of hardship but hardship nonetheless. As mentioned above….we haven’t even begun to suffer yet.

            To be continued……….

            eatabanker I agree with you. The US was not defeated by a ragtag army of men armed with rifles after 20 years.
            They chose to leave. Why they gave up the military equipment is no mystery, as you point out.
            But why give up billions in the drug trade? The Deep State has been relying on drug money since before there was an official CIA.
            It has to be part of the switch to digital cash, imo. You can’t have a drug trade with credit cards. Therefore they are giving up the cash.
            Don’t worry about them, they’ll be fine. The Fed just hands them money now, digitally speaking. And Big Pharma has a captive audience now, unable to refuse their drugs without Big Pain.
            And yeah, SHV, the luxury in which most of us live was not a part of past citizens’ daily lives. I remember visiting my dad’s brother in Oregon, where he lived in a tiny metal trailer with no electricity or running water. The pump outside was manually operated, not like today, when even people with well water rely on electricity to pump it. The outhouse was buzzing with bees, which scared me as a child.
            No worry today! The bees are gone, along with most other insects, and almost everyone has indoor plumbing.
            Things that can’t last, won’t.

          Unsure about that, in large part simply because of diminishing energies that the large-scale nation states rely on to project power/control over larger distances than, say, city states.

          If or when States sufficiently decline, Fauci and company and/or their counterparts will essentially ‘disappear’ in the contexts of our ‘relocalizations’.

      Think BLM – A country so racist that the only racially motivated crimes we’ve heard of are all fake. As fake as BIDEN. As fake as NORAD Dad’s apology. A country so racist that the number one Christmas (a racist holiday) song of all times was written and produced by a black woman.

      Think Supply Chain – All the way down to the supermarket. People are now getting their groceries picked by someone else and delivered. Very fragile.

      Power will neutralize the second amendment by having us turn on ourselves.

      KARMA– a New Years Tale

      During the waning years of the Orange Tweeter, and then of Joe Bedpan there was a wave of Long Marchers fleeing poverty and the drug wars in their home countries of Central America. Those who survived the Long March poured through the gaps in the Wall and dispersed throughout the USA. The hardships of the Long March and the diseases of their impoverished childhood rendered the survivors immune to many of the diseases of their new new home. But more critically they poured through the Wall during an era of political confusion that enabled them to escape having their natural immune systems genetically altered by the madness of Covid Fear that overwhelmed much of the population of the rest of the USA.

      Fast forward a generation and the dominant race in a place like New York will speak Spanish with a distinct Guatemalan accent and trace their linage to the Aztecs rather than the Mayflower. The vacant store fronts of Lower Manhattan will have all their plywood removed and tiendas selling platanos and mangos built in their place. At first the old landlords will try to collect rents, however meager, in place of the returns from the diamonds and $5,000 handbags sold by previous tenants. However, the new occupants will soon employ Enforcers trained by the Zetas to pay visits to the old landlords, who will receive new tattoos in places they didn’t want them or simply go for a deep swim in the East River.

      A new trade will emerge: the Connector. Since the previous landlords had stopped paying for services and utilities, Connectors will simply go where the power and water is and tap into main lines deep underground

      After a century of ruling New York, the Jewish tribe will be on the verge of becoming extinct. There will be two causes. Generations of living in the unhealthy environment of New York left their natural immune systems weakened. Rabid rats will take over the streets of New York, feasting and multiplying on all the un-collected garbage. The rats will soon learn to hunt in packs and emerge from the darkness. Long Marcher children had grown up hunting rats with clubs for sport and know exactly how to respond. Jewish ex-landlords will die by the thousands from being bitten the moment they leave their apartment tower doors. The final nail in the coffin of the Jewish tribe was the Vaccine. Being wealthy and wanting nothing but the best for their children, members of the Tribe had rushed to have all their offspring shot with the latest and greatest that Medicine had to offer. Almost immediately their male children started dying of heart attacks at 10X the rate from before the Pandemic. and their sperm vitality dropped to only 1/3 of its 1970’s level. As the years pass the formerly rare heart condition in young men will claim 25% of the Tribe. But the final extinction moment will come from the extreme difficulty the vaccinated women of the Tribe have in bearing children. Since they could not raise a family with a partner of the same race, men of the Tribe will soon turn to women with the superior genes of the children of the Long March, and that will signal the death of the Tribe’s culture as the new families fall under the dominant influence of the Mothers.

      My future history of New York is not meant to be racist beyond noting that different cultural and racial experiences breed different strengths and weaknesses. Wokesters everywhere face the same fate— that of extinction by their own cultural flaws. In New York it may be inability to adapt to the realities of a new World where wealth is not based on rents or Ponzi schemes. In San Francisco it will likely be due to modern surgery eliminating the very concept of Woman. And without women (and Men) there will be no more offspring and no future for Wokeism.

      Whenever I become despondent over the grim economic and political clusterfuck here in Canada I often picture myself living in my ancestral homeland of Yugoslavia at the outbreak of hostilities in 1991. This is what it must have been like to live in Serbia or Croatia as a free thinker under hyper-nationalist governments and being exposed to a steady diet of fear porn every day from government-controlled media. After the breakup of the former Yugoslavia the former republics descended into madness as each newly-formed nation vomited up dangerous psychopaths to replace the old leaders. Living in this Canadian idiocracy is like being forced to wear a pair of extremely uncomfortable shoes you hid away in the closet, We’ve been stripped of our individual identity and forced to assume a new identity that’s been chosen for us by our new leaders, Eventually things will get back to normal and we’ll get our freedom back we tell ourselves but with each passing year we find more and more people have become like the pod people in the excellent 1978 horror film Invasion of The Body Snatchers.

          It could be the three former British colonies are mature and have a strong sense of social responsibility – rooted in our prosperity and our longstanding set of values relating to freedom.

          I think it is also based on having a parliamentary democracy, rather than the strong-man republic style of the US and its fifty states. It’s also a function of size – the US is just so BIG – running it is like wrestling the 800lnb gorilla.

          But I can assure you that Australia, Canada, and New Zealand all value their freedom at least as much as any red-blooded American – and we are not marching blindly towards totalitarianism, nor are we meekly queuing to get onto the cattle trains.

          We have free elections every few years.

        Halifax has lost quite a few Starbucks over the recent years and has been suffering, along with surrounding locales and elsewhere, from what I call ‘ghost malls’. I appreciate ghost malls and disappearing Starbucks and you can find a comment of mine in a similar regard at Permaculture Global’s forums under the name Caelan MacIntyre. My comment header is titled, Abandoned Planet.

        This whole ‘disease chapter’ appears simply as a facet of what decline/collapse looks like.

      Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Canada, UK, Israel, Italy are goose-stepping WAY ahead of Dr Fauci et al..

      Sorry OG – not seeing any goose-stepping or Nazi rallies in the Land Down Under … it’s the summer holiday season.

      Apart from the secessionist Western Australia, I’m free to fly to anywhere in the country – and almost anywhere overseas. One needs to be vaccination of course – do you have a problem with that?

      We are required to wear a mask for most indoor businesses, and some require a QR-Code as well. Australians are not hyper-ventilating over these sensible public health precautions … and I suggest neither you nor your brethren do either.

      Happy New Year!

      Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Canada, UK, Israel, Italy are goose-stepping WAY ahead of Dr Fauci et al.

      No goose-stepping in Australia – just very very few pandemic hospitalisations and deaths from Covid-19, with most of those from among among the unvaxxed.

      With a fair amount of community-wide responsibility and cooperation in confronting a public health crisis … Australia has done very well.

      The anti-vax / anti-lockdown protests have faded away, because most restrictions have either been lifted or they are embedded – for example, airlines require full vaccination and a negative test. There is no fuss.

    • Wizard of the Saddle December 27, 2021 at 12:18 pm #

      Nickelthrower, I empathize with your frustration, but I think you misinterpret the intent of others here. I think many simply assume that TPTB running the Deep State in America are constantly monitoring all electronic forms of communication…..including this blog. The concern is that a corrupt and authoritarian minded regime, like the one currently seated in Washington, will be looking to compile lists of people to go after, in one form or another, leveraging their vast NSA computer databases to the detriment of patriots everywhere who question and challenge their authority.

      Those who chomp at the bit to engage in more kinetic efforts to right the many wrongs that currently afflict our country will likely accomplish little, other than rotting in prison, if they go around advertising their intent to bypass the ballot box in favor of the cartridge box in order to effect political change.

      It is one thing to speculate about the possible forms that a future societal backlash might take to the ever-growing domestic political tyranny. It is quite another to announce that you stand ready to imminently engage in what the Biden crowd would delightedly describe as “insurrectionary” activity or advocacy. That is dangerous. Not only to your own well-being, but potentially to the well being of others you associate with, no matter how tenuously, even through something as innocuous as a comments section on a popular author’s blog site.

      So, remember that old adage and heed it well: Discretion is often the better part of valor.

      When the time for debate and voting is finally closed off to the American people, we will know what to do. But that time has not yet arrived. It may come soon, but it is foolish in the extreme for any individual to try to hasten things along on your own. It is an invitation to be easily picked off by the bad guys while they are still holding better cards than you do.

      • JTinMD December 27, 2021 at 3:08 pm #

        I dunno, Wiz. I think maybe affairs have gotten far beyond ballot boxes and into genuine rasslin’ on the ground. I believe that’s a step along the way — skirmishes here and there. The recent Potter conviction may well have blown up some flames from a smoldering resentment on the part of cops and law-and-order types. Can you blame them? It was unjust.

        • Wizard of the Saddle December 27, 2021 at 6:00 pm #

          JT,

          I agree that the Left is out of control and has fully left the reservation. That being said, we on the Right are presently at a strategic disadvantage because the Wokesters have control over the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government and are using that power to harass and suppress folks on the Right. Now is not the time for thoughtless, rash, action driven by frustration and emotion. This is the time to be keeping your powder dry until the Left is swept from power in Congress and the WH. Then, we come back at them and settle the score when we control the entire federal government again.

          The only way I drop this position is if there is another massive steal of votes at the ballot boxes in 2022 and 2024. Right now, it seems like the GOP is moving Heaven and Earth to address the abuses that the Democrats exploited in 2020 to crookedly oust Trump from office. They got away with it because they did things people had never seen happen before – at least not at that scale. I think it will be harder for them to get away with so much fraud now that everyone on the Right is on to how they go about stealing votes.

          So, we must wait and see. We won statewide in Virginia and that state was pretty dadgum Blue, so maybe the fix is not totally in after all.

          • Hereward the Woke December 30, 2021 at 6:36 am #

            Unfortunately, Wiz, I think elections won’t change much anymore. Maybe election fraud is being addressed by the GOP, who knows. But even if they win big in 2022/24? They have shown that they are just as corrupt and anti-Armerican as the Dems. Also, the Left still command the culture, so even good political decisions never really solve the real problems. Just ask Trump! It’s great passing new anti-immigration laws, but getting them actually enacted by the despicable, treasonous bureaucrats below him is another thing. Nothing will change until the underlying culture of depravity and narcissism changes. And that seems to be hardwired into our rapidly declining society.

      • Anthea December 27, 2021 at 8:58 pm #

        Anyone who had a serious intention of engaging in violence to “right the wrongs” that have been perpetrated would never speak of this to ANYONE–let alone go shooting off their mouths on a public venue of any kind.

        In case there is anyone on here who is considering violence, I IMPLORE you to keep your mouth shut.

        Paying taxes (or not) is largely irrelevant in terms of funding “the machine”–at least at the federal level–though withholding your money, where possible, from other levels of government might have some effect on something. But there is only so much you can do to evade property taxes, personal property taxes, sales taxes, state income taxes and city earnings taxes, professional licensing fees, etc.

        I am not sure that such methods of resistance would be effective anyway.

        The onlly method of resistance that seems to me to produce durable results at multiple levels is the Amish or Mennonite model. What’s needed is an approach that does more than just keep ones loved ones out of the clutches of the Beast. You also want to preserve your culture, your community, and your values.

        In my area, there is a very strong presence of conservative and religious people. I’m not sure that’s enough. Maybe it doesn’t work until you’re all riding in buggies, spurning modern conveniences, and wearing identical hats.

        • Hereward the Woke December 30, 2021 at 6:39 am #

          Spot on, Anthea. We’ve had the red mist descend from time to time as the hysteria gets out of control all around us. However, violence from us will just bring down on our heads violence from the State. And the only thing a State can do well is dish out violence. We need to remember that even very nasty regimes have been brought down by peaceful protest.

    Jim, I agree something has to be done, but before you shout “Charge the guns, boys, I’m right behind you!” you might want to consider what options are available to us, aside from the counterproductive “fedposting” that the kids talk about.

    The January 6th fiasco has already established that even genuinely peaceful protests can result in criminal prosecution, police brutality, draconian prison sentences for what’s essentially trespassing, as well as acts of violence being committed by federal informants mingling with protestors and state-sponsored goon squads like Antifa..

    What does that leave us? Getting the word out? Kennedy’s book was (the last time I checked) the bestselling in America. Everybody knows, the word’s already out.

    I guess my question’s rhetorical, and we’ll have to be satisfied with your maxim that “events are in the driver’s seat,” and that, as Gustave Le Bon noted, none of us quite understand how crowds work. The crowds are out there, though, and everyone can see Emperor Biden’s naked, though admittedly few can stand the sight. Maybe revolution’s literally a day or two away.

        We would all benefit from spending less time making dubious boasts about what we intend to do about these outrages. That time would be better spent observing the tactics of the tyrants and learning how to avoid being victimized by these tactics.

            Right now, I’m afraid that is exactly how it would play out. Now, if they come after you over something that is so important to you that it represents the hill you choose to die on……while taking some of the armed government thugs with you….well, things will get messy. If enough government thugs perish in said raids, many will seek other employment. So who knows how that would play out? It depends on how ham-fisted the regime gets and how many people they push over the edge simultaneously.

            It is all speculation. So, for now, discretion is the way to go. Prepare for the worst, but don’t be the nail that pokes up or you will get hammered down by these assholes.

        This is a scenario that is likely playing out in plenty of households:

        Our two little ones had fevers a week ago (neg test) then out busted the snotty noses and nuisance coughs with no fever.

        Mom’s and Dad’s decide to get everyone together on back patio with a heater and masks. A little one had to pee. Then another one. Pretty soon the kids are in the bedroom playing Barbie and magnet tiles with no masks.

        Grandma plies them all with cookies.

        Adults come inside.

        A few hours later kids are tearing around playing and the adults are yucking it up in the living room. Not a mask in sight.

        And a good time was had by all.

  7. Beryl of Oyl December 27, 2021 at 9:49 am #

    I think that Dr. Fauci’s incompetence and hubris wee very much a factor.

    There is, however, evidence to fit the scenario of having his strings pulled from unseen actors.

    Remember his 60 Minutes interview, when he talked about the folly of using a mask, how it may give the wearer are false sense of security?

    Later, when it was used to refute his newfound support of the face diaper, there was an attempt to explain it away by claiming the interview was ‘outdated’. That was patent nonsense.

    Dr. Fauci eventually made the statement that he was forced to lie to “save” masks for hospital personnel. That made no sense either, because they were also claiming at the time that you could use any sort of damp rag to accomplish the same goal, and there was never any piece of cloth shortage.

    So, when someone says something that doesn’t make sense, it probably isn’t true, and for some reason Dr. Fauci decided to start lying about face masks, as did Dr.s Adams, Birx, and Redfield.

    That isn’t incompetence, that’s deliberate deception.

    What I don’t have a clear picture of, is how Fauci and Birx ever got on that task force.

    It’s obfuscated by the bizarre believe that Fauci was on the task force prior to 2020, when it was created.

    Someone had to suggest that the head of NIAID should be asked to join the task force, and someone had to do the actual asking.

    Who came up with the name of the absolute worst person to put on that team?

    I wish Candace Owns had asked President Trump that question. She’s knew and just finding her way at this interviewing stuff.

      Dr. Fauci’s incompetence

      Actually virology’s incompetence

      Fauci’s covering up of virology’s incompetence

      We are bugged constantly by these little s*&ts, and after decades of hepatitis, HIV, colds, Flu, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, measles we should have treatments for all of them. Oh no, just vaccines, inflame the present to protect the future. We are finding out what happens when you overcrowd the system.

      Virology’s answer? Enhance nature and see what happens. I think we found out.

      Virology enhancement research should be stopped until an understanding of how to counter these viruses in situ in in place. The fallibility of security has been demonstrated so assuming infallibility is no longer in place. Shut the labs down to development.

      Another one is small pox in the Arctic. Sounds like sci-fi, but what if it is true? It needs to be investigated, along with any other potential virus releases. Some one said viruses cannot survive freezing? Are we sure, certain cells can survive long periods of time frozen, my money is on viruses surviving. Let us check it out first. A stitch in time—-

        I didn’t say viruses couldn’t survive freezing, I said that viruses die when their host dies.
        Any talk about 10,000 year old ”viable” viruses is bullshit put out to give a cover story for when they release smallpox from the CDC in Atlanta, GA.
        Viruses cannot survive without a host. Are you saying that when they find a frozen man in the Arctic, who died from a disease that never went to the Arctic, that both the man and the virus are ”viable”?

            Are you talking about gargling with it?
            I have seen doctors talking about gargling or nasal washing with a diluted solution of Betadine. That freaks me out a little, but if I actually got sick I might try it.
            NaHCO3 sounds gentler to the respiratory tissues.

          • Not_GeorgeT December 28, 2021 at 12:31 am #

            Paula D

            Just drink it. NaHCO3 Something like 1/2 teaspoon in water TID then start taper after a day or two. It’s not conventional 21st century Western medicine. There’s not much $ in it (description of 21st Century medicine = how much $ can I make).

            Stuff is real inexpensive, put some in a cup in your ‘fridge to tackle off-odors while you’re at it!

            Much less $ than brand Alka-Seltzer.

            I’m offering ideas, they are out there for anyone to look up.

            Betadine… I’d need to look it up as a nasal spray. Kills bugs real well. I’d try 0.9 NaCL as a nasal spray first. Use as a cleanser. There is another nasal route item which has shown promise, name is escaping me now.

            Not to say gargling normal saline (which isn’t really normal) isn’t ok for a sore throat , just not the immediate topic.

            Water follows salt.

        My understanding is that someone with the right knowledge and equipment can build smallpox from scratch, or at least by modifying one of a legion of other pox viruses.

        • Paula D December 27, 2021 at 1:16 pm #

          The US has smallpox stored in Atlanta.
          Smallpox was declared eradicated from Earth in 1980, but the USA and the USSR had store piles of the virus.
          In the 80s Gorbachev proposed to Reagan that both countries destroy their supplies so that smallpox could never again be released on the planet.
          The Evil Reagan said No.
          If it is released it won’t be from frigging tundra.
          What gets me is that it is the same people who believe that there were never any Indian Wars, that the natives all died from smallpox because there was no smallpox on these continents (measles recently added to that narrative) who also believe that Arctic dwellers somehow had the same smallpox that was never on the American continents.
          And that when they died the smallpox lived on. And that when they are thawed the smallpox can attack humans of today who happen to wander past the thawed bodies and then it will spread all over the world, just like Omicron did in only 2 weeks.

          • Epicur December 27, 2021 at 1:42 pm #

            According to Ken Alibek, the Soviets engineered a super pox that would evade our vaccines back in the 70s. There is no telling what could be done now. That’s why I think covid-19 was an accidental release – its effects are so trivial on a population level.

            When the day arrives that a real weapon is released, the death toll will winnow the world. Fear of that motivates a lot of people.

          • Paula D December 27, 2021 at 3:34 pm #

            The Soviets created a super pox? That also sounds like bullshit to me.
            I’m not even sure that there was the capability to do gain of function back in the 70s.
            But yeah, if this virus was meant to kill off billions of people it is definitely a dud.
            And it is very possible that they plan to release smallpox at some point. Hence, the foreshadowing.
            I lean towards accidental release of covid also, but I don’t think it happened at Wuhan.
            I think it happened at Fort Dietrick in July 2019 and once they realized it (vaping deaths my ass) they took it to Wuhan in the Military Games, knowing that the Chinese would think that it escaped from the Bat Lab.
            Which they did at first, according to a fb friend of mine with Chinese connections.
            But I don’t think they think that any more.

            I’m certainly in no position to trace the path of the original lab grown COVID 19 release into the world. Fauci and other insiders are—.

            What has always seemed strange to me was the severity of the Chinese reaction once they realized that it was afoot in their country. They were certainly in a position to know a bit about it, having participated in it’s creation along with the Americans.

            The Chinese reaction could just be because they are Totalitarians at heart, or it could more likely be because they deduced that they were under attack by biological warfare from an America that saw itself being rapidly overcome by an advancing superpower competitor. Don’t forget that China remained nearly COVID free for a year after the initial WuHan outbreak was beaten down. Their extreme measures were certainly effective in the short run before the virus became endemic in the entire world and had time to develop mutations in response to the mad Western policy of mass inoculations with an untested gene modification agent.

          • Paula D December 28, 2021 at 12:54 pm #

            TH, I agree with you completely.
            It was China’s reaction that freaked me out about the virus.
            Shutting down New Year’s? Building 3 new hospitals?
            That had to be a serious threat!
            They clearly thought that it either escaped from the lab or the US had attacked them.
            Personally, I think that SARS 1 was also a bioweapon and the Chinese know it. And then there was some kind of swine flu that attacked their pig industry in between the two SARS.
            And then while the Chinese were taking everything so seriously, the US was putting out complete bullshit. Stopping air travel from China was “”racist”. Go to Chinatown. This respiratory virus is not spread person to person, it is spread through droplets and “fomites”. Put Lysol on everything in your house. Use hand sanitizer constantly. Leave your mail outside. Wrap every potato at the store in plastic. No bringing your own bags to the store.
            WTF???!!!
            I lost SO many friends simply pointing out that resp viruses are spread from person to person, not touching a potato and then touching your face.
            Remember that? Don’t touch a surface and then your face!!!! You will die! What part of your face? Your forehead? Your chin?
            And then they tried to tell us that viruses can live on surfaces for days and that the ocean was full of it and the waves spewed it into the air.
            The whole thing was stupid as hell, and then in March they suddenly switched the entire narrative.
            And then they expect me to believe anything they say?
            I don’t think so.

      “So, when someone says something that doesn’t make sense, it probably isn’t true, and for some reason Dr. Fauci decided to start lying about face masks, as did Dr.s Adams, Birx, and Redfield.”

      Dr. Michael Osterholm, of CIDRAP, may fall into that category.

      He spoke very clearliy in June 2020 on the fact that there was no scientific evidence to support mask wearing for stopping virus transmission. He emphasized that masks were useless in surgical settings—surgeons just “like to wear them,” also to prevent possible spurts of blood, etc. But they don’t stop germs.

      No scientific evidence has emerged since that time to justify mask mandates. But Osterholm appears to have backed off his clear position of June 2020 (he also criticized the CDC for its unsupported mask mandate, which was clearly politicized).

      I was following his podcasts at the time—not after the fact. But I recommend reading the transcript.

      • Paula D December 28, 2021 at 12:59 pm #

        I watched him on Joe Rogan in March 2020 and he said very clearly that there was no way to make a vaccine in less than 5-10 years.
        He said that money made no difference and neither did how many companies were working on it.
        His analogy was corn. Corn takes 6 months to grow and that is how it is. Planting 100 acres instead of 50 acres does NOT give you corn in half the time.
        He sure sings a different tune now.
        Oh, and he said, in March 2020, that obese people were more at risk of severe disease.
        So he already knew that way back then, but the authorities still never mention it.

        • Islander December 31, 2021 at 9:24 am #

          Hi,Paula,

          I glad to have my perception confirmed. I saw him on Joe Rogan in march 2020 but don’t recall that particular statement.

          What I do recall is Joe’s thanking him for being on the show, and Dr. O said: “Thanks for having me! I’ve been waiting for someone in the media to contact me [as the head of CIDRAP] and you are the only one who has!”

          His point was that he is a top virologist, and no one in the media seemed to have any interest in interviewing him. He seemed eager to explain to the public how viruses work, etc. —I was impressed with him, and that’s why I followed him and his podcasts and I knew exactly what his position was re masks.

          Then, some months later, when I pointed out to the mask brigade what he had said, they contradicted me and pointed ME to what Dr. O said: wear your mask!!

          I was, like, WTF, as they say!!

          Then I learned that Dr. O had been appointed to I think the Task Force that Trump or the CDC or someone set up.

          Still, in the statements from Dr. O that I did find it seemed to me like he was hedging: Wear you mask where your local authorities demand it. He did not seem to me to be making *scienfitic* statements.
          Whereas in the June 2020 podcast/transcript he made it very clear that he was talking *about the scientific evidence* and he said that there was none that supported the efficacy for mask wearing for stoppiong germs/viruses.

          See “Special Episode: Masks and Science”
          Transcript:
          https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/sites/default/files/public/downloads/special_episode_masks_6.2.20_0.pdf

          See, for example, p. 16:
          “Of note, shortly after CDC published their recommendation U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams changed his “do not use surgical masks recommendation” to one supporting the CDC cloth mask recommendation. Again with no new data on how cloth mask use reduces the risk of
          virus transmission. This gives one pause to understand the credibility of a U.S. Surgeon General’s science-based recommendation going forward.
          On April 6th, just a few days later, to confuse matters, the WHO came out with their interim guidance on the use of masks in the context of COVID-19. By the way this is still their current
          recommendation. The recommendation reads, and I quote, “there is limited evidence that wearing a medical mask by healthy individuals in households, or among contacts of sick patients, or among attendees of mass gatherings, may be beneficial as a preventative measure. However, there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask, whether medical or other types, by healthy persons at a wider community setting, including universal community masking can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses including COVID-19.” This recommendation is not just about surgical masks, which they’re calling medical masks, but also cloth masks.”

          Etc. .Very interesting.
          And most annoying was that soon the covidiots were quoting Dr. O in support of their madness.

          It cut no ice to point out that he had changed his position even though there was no new evidence of mask efficacy.

    “I’m supremely confident we will learn the truth of all this.”

    We probably will, Jim. But we’ve pretty much learned the truth of the Steele Dossier, Russia Collusion, and the phone call to Ukraine that Trump was impeached for, which is that it was a well orchestrated hoax, and aside from a few indictments the whole scam — so important 2016-2020 — has been swept under the rug and pretty much ignored and forgot about. It seems to have served its purpose which was to discredit Trump and get him out of office. There are no consequences. Big Media and the DC/Manhattan elitist political axis has moved on, nicely pivoting to the COVID CRISIS.

          Back when this whole thing started, I remember that there were people getting very angry with me for saying we weren’t going to get the vaccine they were all waiting on, because this was a coronavirus we were dealing with.

          I’m no scientific genius, this is pretty basic stuff, and I thought everybody understood that we were nowhere near a cure for the common cold, let alone a vaccine to prevent one.

          How did anybody not wake up, the instant “slow the spread” became “until a vaccine is found”?

          How did everyone over the age of fourteen or so not understand, at that point, that this was not about a virus?

          • JohnAZ December 27, 2021 at 10:46 am #

            Colds have never had a vaccine because hundreds of variants exist that cause upper respiratory infection, and new variants show up all the time.

            Hmmm. Didn’t we hear that Covid had lots of cousins that are cold viruses? That the difference is that the cold types are upper respiratory only, and Covid attacked the lower lungs.

            Well, folks, the Omicron is another cold virus, as it attacks only ye upper respiratory.

            The perfect virus is one that perpetuates itself by passing easily between hosts allowing itself to replicate freely. Killing hosts is not a good thing.

            Sounds to me like Covid may have “learned” to be a successful virus, passed like wildfire, individual to individual, making transmission easy by coughing and sneezing and not killing hosts.

            As I understand it, the vast majority of colds are caused by rhinoviruses, not corona viruses.
            Until 2 years ago, corona viruses were understood to be stable and not prone to mutating rapidly.
            This omicron ”variant” is very different that the strains of covid that were circulating before it arrived onstage in late Nov.
            I watched evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Brett Weinstein talking about the unlikelihood that a strain based on the June 2020 strain suddenly developed 24 mutations, while other strains were mutating very, very slowly.
            The cover story when they first unveiled it was that an AIDS patient in Botswana contracted it in 2020 and because his immune system was damaged, he somehow kept it in his body for 17 months, (as if that makes sense), where it mutated merrily and then sprang out, fully formed, like Athena from the forehead of Zeus.
            Yeah……right.

          • Paula D December 27, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

            John AZ, the story at the beginning of this narrative was that SARS 1 died out rapidly because it replicated in the lungs, so it could only be spread with deep coughing.
            Then they told us that because SARS 2 replicates in the throat, that meant it could spread more easily than SARS 1.
            The lung problems caused by SARS 2 were because of blood clotting in the alveoli, which is why ventilators were found to be worthless back in spring 2020.
            I think the story of this one is that it replicates in the nasopharynx.
            At this point they don’t bother trying to come up with logical or rational explanations, or explaining the epidemiology of the spread.

      • TaxDonkey December 27, 2021 at 10:47 am #

        I would respectfully request that we quit calling this a cold virus. It’s got a gain of function created spike protein embedded in it with an unnatural furin cleavage site and portions of the HIV gp120 sequence and even a prion-like domain, among other oddities. When I was initially exposed to it March 2020, I got shingles for one horrid week. I NEVER get sick. This had something to do with this weirdo Frankenvirus that they created. Not the common cold.

        • MaryQueen December 27, 2021 at 11:08 am #

          Beryl’s statement stands even if the cold virus was somehow weaponized (which again, there’s no proof of – it’s all theory).

          It stands because the population fatality rate is still well under 1% and that’s with all of the counting of covid19 deaths that weren’t.

          None of the above exist.

          • pranah December 27, 2021 at 12:08 pm #

            Night Owl, I fall back on calling it a virus though I admit I’m confused by the duelling narratives. Dr. Peter McCullough states that the virus has been isolated and it’s unfortunate that people continue to say we don’t know what it looks like and so forth. Or something to that effect–he talks so fast it’s hard to get the exact wording. If anyone has a more accurate representation of what Dr. McCullough believes/has said, please chime in. On the other hand, the guy in Canada won a case against the Crown when proof of the existence of the virus could not be produced. I do trust Dr. McCullough–maybe I shouldn’t, I don’t know. Keeping an open mind about the existence/nonexistence of the virus.

          • Night Owl December 27, 2021 at 12:43 pm #

            Where does McCullough state this?

            pranah, I would suggest trusting no one. Sure, your mom would never lie to you – but would you trust her to pop open your skull and do some brain surgery? The well-intentioned can be wrong. The “believable” may have bad intent.

            Assess every claim regardless of who it comes from. Even if you lack the specific expertise figure out “the whole truth” you should be able to figure out when you’re being lied to.

            “Trust but verify”. The trained monkey Ronald Reagan was taught to say that. One of those empty phrases that elevates the apparent intellect of the speaker through its “obvious” profundity. Just verify. Trust is an unnecessary sugary coating that will give you bad breath and diabetes.

          • MaryQueen December 27, 2021 at 2:32 pm #

            pranah, this is why I am wary of McCullough. He’s allowed to speak all over mainstream media. Why?

            I’m guessing because he at least carries the narrative that there is a big scary bioweapon virus.

          • Night Owl December 27, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

            Can anyone point to where McCull. said that?

            Yeadon always resonated most with me, as he had the most extreme position and was taking a huge risk given his credentials.

            That said, McCull. never seemed off to me.

          • JohnAZ December 27, 2021 at 4:19 pm #

            McCollough called the disease a reaction to a virus on his you Tube interview with Mortensen. Mortensen too has called it virus caused.

            Mike Yeadon is fantastic. He interacts in a lot of comments threads on Substack.

            All these guys are doing fantastic work, I don’t mean to belittle McCullough at all – he’s putting himself out there which is risky. But they all operate on the premise that there is a dangerous virus out there, but meanwhile, there is no more illness than any other years.

          • Islander December 27, 2021 at 10:10 pm #

            N.O.
            “Where does McCullough state this?”

            I have seen so many vids iwth McC that I cannot point to the specific one where he said this.

            But he did say it. I remember very clearly.

            The context was his explanation of virologists’ ability to follow the mutation routes very carefully. That is why, he said, he was able to state categorically that alpha was done—we were now (at that point) dealing with Delta. So giving jabs for the alpha was doubly pointless.

            At that point in the vid Dr. McC showed a graph showing the different variants in the population. The graph showed a thick colored line for alpha and then Delta appeared and then Delta almost completely took over from alpha.

            Dr. McC also discussed the number of variants/mutations and said that these many mutations could be clearly tracked. So this would have been about the time that Delta was in ascendance, and when was that? Seems like the Delta variant had taken over by August. So this talk must have been around then.

            It might be this one with Dr. Al Johnson—I do recall watching this.
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWBC-JX6lsg

            At ca 2:46 he starts talking about Delta and about data released by the CDC and in the UK regarding the number of mutations the virus had undergone since the index virus.

            I am quite sure he also discussed this elsewhere, showing the graph.

            It is quite true that Dr. McC often speaks in a way that a lot gets rushed over and kind of swallowed. Maybe because he is saying the same message repeatedly, so doesn’t present the info as if to a new audience.

          • Night Owl December 28, 2021 at 4:00 am #

            Yeah, so still no clip of him stating the virus was isolated and purified.

          • Islander December 28, 2021 at 1:11 pm #

            McC has taken as big a hit as Yeadon, professionally, as “payback” for his advocacy for treatment of his patients. (and Mercola).

            IT looks like Baylor has severed its longtime connection with McCullough and has sued him to try to eradicate his position and status. .

            He is a medical doctor; he continually stresses this. He is not a virologist nor an epidemiologist.

            I am continually struck here with how many people here see things in black and white. Judge, jury, and executioner. They want all of their heroes to be on exactly the same page—with them, and with one another.

            Maybe no one (yet) has the real story on the origin of socalled covid-19. However, I certianly have seen plenty of diagrams and explanations or questioning of the meaning of oddities in what we have, such as the furin cleavage business, etc.

            Pranah, do you have a link for that particular episode with Chris Martensen?

          • Night Owl December 28, 2021 at 4:25 pm #

            I couldn’t care less if McCull. is on the same page as the others; I simply asked to see where he said what it was claimed he said.

            I have yet to see evidence that the virus can be proven to exist. The fact that PCR is a fraud only serves to strengthen the point.

            If the above exists and if there is a provably accurate test to detect “the virus” I would be happy to hear about it.

          • Yock December 28, 2021 at 6:08 pm #

            The virus is actually patented and considered proprietary. To provide an isolate would mean that they would need to divulge its structure and therefore reveal that it was fabricated in a lab. The bioweapon is actually the attached spike protein which causes an immune reaction on day 8 of the illness. Simply by administering antihistamines and corticosteroids, close to 80 percent of the deaths could have been avoided. Instead, doctors are still performing intubation and suffocating their patients on ventilators. These are some sick psychopathic doctors. The vaccine only prolongs our exposure to the bio weapon which is the spike protein so the virus is no longer needed. Once the vaccinated lose their tcell immunity from receiving multiple booster vaxes every 2 months, the population will be susceptible to any old cold virus. They can just blame it on the new omega variant and line the sheep up for their next booster shot. By the time the sheeple realize what is happening, it will be too late. That is, if they ever realize what is happening.

          • Night Owl December 28, 2021 at 6:21 pm #

            Yock, I thought that was in the context of clot shot creation.

            All I want is proof that this actual deadly virus that is not very deadly exists.

            I just have not seen it yet.

          • Islander December 29, 2021 at 11:23 am #

            Yock:

            This is exactly my own inference from the “there is no virus” confusion. .

            They have it, but they are not releasing the “pure” info/virus because it is actually evidence.

            “They” (who?) should be forced to release that sequence now.

            Among other things that would neutralize the “there is no such thing as a virus” column. Not a biggie, but unneeded background noise.

            Meanwhile, from Martin Armstrong:
            https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/fda-now-warns-rapid-covid-tests-might-be-invalid/

            “It is interesting how the propaganda “fact-checkers” who have NO medical background went into panic mode to claim that the CDC did not mean what they said and desperately tried to spin it around. Claiming the CDC did not mean what it plainly wrote that the COVID tests cannot distinguish between the Flu and COVID was clearly political. Look at all the lockdowns, people forced into home confinement all over tests that are not valid.

            I previously wrote that I had a breathing problem so I did go to the ER in the hospital. They x-rayed my lungs and assumed I had COVID. They threw me into the COVID wing and then said it would take TWO COVID tests with negative results to get released. As I said, 5 tests later, all were negative. Yet based upon the x-rays, two doctors said that I had probably COVID and that the tests were INVALID.

            Now the FDA admits that the Rapid COVID-19 antigen tests may be less effective at detecting Omicron than earlier strains on the virus. Indeed, the PCR test is meaningless because it has never been standardized and compared to an isolated virus. If you read the fine print of the PCR test by Roche, it clearly states: “This test is not to be used for diagnostic purposes.”

            Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test who was awarded a Nobel Chemistry Prize, said that “…with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.”

            Anyone who has dared to repeat Mullis’ comments is classified as “misinformation” and a “conspiracy theory” all because COVID has become political. This is no longer about health. The fact-checkers spinning this to maintain the medical tyranny are doing so for a political agenda and they could care less about the health of society. Biden has even lifted the travel ban on South Africa and the doctors there say that Omicron is extremely mild.

            Now even one British Court has ruled against the vaccines. We will NEVER know the truth until politics is banned from medicine.”

            I just read a piece in the LRB by the head of virus team at the Crick Institute, Rupert Beale. His explanations re Omicron and jabs made little sense to me, but he threw in a number of exhortation to get jabbed. Ended it with “Get your the third jab.”

            Here is the URL,
            As of today not behind a paywall:
            https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n24/rupert-beale/on-omicron

            Here is one of the clear-as-mud sentences Beale composed:
            ” It’s very early days to assess the extent to which it escapes, but it would be a major surprise if it wasn’t substantially less well neutralised by antibodies generated by the vaccines. Researchers (including the team I work with at the Crick Institute) are rushing to quantify this. ”

            Sense utterly unclear with all of the qualifiers and double negatives.

            Then he continues:
            “Might Omicron be ‘milder’? There’s no reason to think so. Viruses evolve to optimise transmission within a population. For viruses that are not immediately lethal to their hosts, there is no evidence that they evolve to become less pathogenic. Immunity, acquired by vaccination or infection, makes people less likely to become severely unwell if they are infected again. If a virus appears to become ‘milder’, it’s usually because of partial immunity in previously infected or vaccinated individuals. . . .”

            This sounds to me like BS. In fact, most of the piece sounds kind of like BS regarding the role of natural vs. jab immunity.

            Then, on to the new treatments. The following sentences do not even make basic sense:

            “There are two new drugs which can be given as tablets and will probably be available soon. Molnupiravir [long interjection] . . . is unlikely to be affected. Probably the same is true for Pfizer’s Paxlovid.

            What does this even mean? “Affected” by what? Does he mean “effective”?

            I wonder if someone else find this piece to be total gobbledygook, written to confound nonscientists and scare them into getting jabbed. Maybe even scientists, too, who don’t dare say:

            “WTF are you talking about? This doesn’t make basic sense.”

          • GreenAlba December 29, 2021 at 5:03 pm #

            Re McCullough, scroll down to the Q&A session here – not the main presentation – and check at 37.50 for a question re isolating the virus.

            https://aapsonline.org/presentation-by-peter-mccullough-md-on-10-27-2021/

            Just after that I think is his opinion on the PCR test, including that you are likely to get false positives if you test asymptomatic people.

            Before that, at 25.00, there’s a question about immunity; at 34.00 he says the spike proteins (which are 100% bad news) stay in the body for about 15 months (not sure how they know that), so boosters keep them there forever; at 37.00 he talks about how much of a disaster the whole vaxx programme has been. There’s a question about shedding, but I can’t remember where it is. He basically said they advise couples to stay away from one another for 4 weeks if one has been vaxxed (hence my serious annoyance at my other half for getting the booster without telling me – I’ve now had a spike protein & lipid nanoparticle respray, as well as any other nasties that might be in there).

            All assuming I’m reading my scribbles correctly that I made while watching it.

            The actual 90-minute presentation above the Q&A video is worth listening to as well – starts with the vaxx and its effects, then moves on to general stuff like censoring treatment protocols etc., if I remember correctly.

        • pranah December 27, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

          I agree with you, TaxDonkey. COVID’s caused by a coronavirus, but not all coronaviruses cause colds. SARS and MERS are caused by coronaviruses that allegedly jumped to humans from animals and they both cause(d) very serious disease. I don’t know enough about these to opine on if they were natural or also engineered. COVID is definitely a Frankenvirus, as you say, and not the common cold.

            A year ago, there was a story by a Virology MD in China that three guys were dispatched to clean bat quant out of a cave. The three caught a nasty disease, I think they died. The MD got samples of the blood of these three guys and put it into the Wuhan lab.

            Heard the story once, and never again. Like all the stories of the start up.

          • Not_GeorgeT December 27, 2021 at 6:44 pm #

            What if “it” is not singular?

            Virus? Catchall term for the general population.

            What if there is a bacteria component? This was offered over a year ago when there was a sweep through Italy. A practitioner there was treating it like bacteria and claimed success. Something I would need to go back to find.

            I came across a small group, maybe 300, successfully treated with NaHCO3. Raising the pH does in some organisms. It creates a totally inhospitable environment for replication. A little further reading showed virus, bacteria, fungi ( to name a few) thrive in low pH environments, with a nice assist from collected moisture.

            So low pH with a nice warm moist environment is a breeding ground for the culprits producing a number of maladies which either cease or are easily treated in humans just by letting the body’s constant quest for homeostasis work its magic.

            Masks…. mask mandates…. all that nice warm moist air collecting in face-covering fibres, with the oropharynx having a slightly elevated temperature which lowers the pH slightly… a tremendous breeding ground. A petrie dish in every human possible. The various nasty organisms entering the host’s blood from their oropharynx spawning ground finding homes in a number of target organs. Then their real work begins in earnest.

            This didn’t hatch overnight, such is my opinion.

          • Yock December 29, 2021 at 7:52 am #

            Night Owl,
            I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for an isolate to appear. This virus concoction is basically a bioweapon designed to cleave apart and deliver a payload which is the S1 spike protein. I’m hearing that the new Omicron variant is basically the SARS Cov2 virus cleaving off its genetically pieced components in order to become more stable which is why it’s entirely different from all other variant forms. A better name for this illness would be spike protein disease as it is not a viral pneumonia that is lethal but the subsequent allergic reaction to the spike protein which occurs 8 days into the illness. I’m hoping that Omicron quickly becomes the dominant form and ends this soon. It appears that the hospitalizations are down in South Africa which is the 1st time the number of new cases have decoupled from the number of deaths.

        • Jarek December 27, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

          Remember, they call everything covid including colds and the flu. So “it” is quite literally our old common diseases relabeled. That doesn’t negate your hypothesis and experience. They probably did create something – but most of the ground they’ve gained is thru the fraud of relabeling and the incentives given to hospitals to participate in that.

          Remember Birx triumphantly declaring that they were diagnosing covid “liberally” and her smirk as she said it.

          • JohnAZ December 27, 2021 at 4:28 pm #

            You know something, I think you have got something there.

            Think about the history of the variant. Alpha started it all, then gamma a short time, then Delta came and clobbered us, now Omicron.

            Each virus wipes out the previous variant.

            Could it be that Covid has wiped out the flu virus?

          That’s it, they are worrying about what they think they might have, instead of worrying about what they are experiencing.

          Calling it covid brings up images of people dying on ventilators, when in reality, what people are getting today is effectively the common cold, even if you want to call it by its fancier name, the Omicron variant.

          Nobody rushes to the ER over a cold. Ironically, if you rushed to the ER over the Delta variant, they sent you home without any treatment at all.

    I am working my way through RFK Jr’s comprehensive and scrupulously documented book. It’s a slog, but well worth it. For those who don’t have the time for the book, his hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson provides a good synopsis.

    I agree with Jim that a complete account of Fauci’s perfidy and malfeasance makes the career of Dr. Mengele seem like a misdemeanor by comparison.

    Added to Fauci’s role in The Great Reset is this: the corporate media’s ridicule of Trump’s response to Covid was the coup de grace for his presidency. Recall that he recovered quickly and fully from Covid after treatments of Hydroxychloroquine and monoclonal antibodies – the very measures denied to us by Fauci’s Army and which Kennedy’s book explains could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

    Fauci should die in prison and be reviled by historians. As for the corporate press, it’s too late to save this generation of bullshit purveyors.

        Now ugly commie Leanna Wen is acknowledging that a damp rag on the face to prevent disease was a lie.

        This isn’t something that was just discovered, they knew it was a lie all along.

        Will there be any repercussions?

        She’s is claiming we should go to N-95 masks. That’s a lie too.

        • MaryQueen December 27, 2021 at 11:10 am #

          All I had to see in order to understand Ms. Wen’s place in the WEF hoax was her playing her part in yet another false flag.

          She was seen in a video being interviewed at the Boston marathon bombing.

          • Beryl of Oyl December 27, 2021 at 11:45 am #

            The Tsarnaev uncle who was interviewed on TV, married retired CIA agent Graham Fuller’s daughter, and even lived with him for a time.

            That however is not to be construed as a CIA connection, according to Mr. Fuller.

            Mary, I saw your post earlier today, finally had the time to go look for the interview.

            My impression: BS

            It doesn’t work the way she lamely attempts to describe what happens.

            The interviewer was trying to tie the response she describes, with which I disagree and call it out as BullShit, to events on Sept. 11, 2001.

            Instead, lets go down a more fact-based route:

            On 11/28/1942 the Cocoanut Grove fire (at a club in Boston) resulted in tremendous loss of life for a number of reasons, with major burn injuries including to the lungs well into the mix. The only somewhat similar event in US history was a theatre fire in Chicago which pre-dated the Boston event.

            The impact lasts through the present. MCI drills are held in Boston periodically every year involving different hospitals at varying times of day. It is a deep-running scar.

            There is a well-designed plan in place in Boston tracing its beginnings following 11/28/42, not 9/11/2001. Among other items, burn bed availability is reported and recorded every morning city-wide as the result of the devastating fire of 11/28/42.

            That’s 79 years ago.

            I’ll call it BS again, just in case anyone reading this didn’t catch it the first two times.

            Anyone interested can look up the events to which I refer.

          • MaryQueen December 27, 2021 at 7:25 pm #

            And for Beryl, the Tsarnaev brothers were ID’d to the 3-letter agencies in the US by, of all people, the Russian intelligence services, 2 years before the incident in Boston.

            Yet the Director of the 3-letter agency office in Boston performed a televised event with some “security camera footage” showing these two clearly identifiable individuals as “persons of interest” and asked for the public’s help to identify them.

            He took his apparently well-earned pension a couple of weeks later.

            As the saying goes: “you can’t make this stuff up” .

          IMHO, the only folks that should be masked are active carriers of the virus. Those people who are symptomatic, should stay at home isolated anyway. Presymptomatic and asymptomatic folks are a problem. Their snot spray poses a hazard. Both have been proven to exist, most recently by the cruise ship debacles. Much more effective than masking is just defensive separation, stay away from anyone that you do not know is virus free.

          Masking against airborne transmission is a joke. Separation against airborne is a joke. Avoidance of airspaces that could be saturated with virus is the only protection. Large indoor crowds in small spaces, lousy air circulation are culprits to avoid.

          Seems to me that the vast majority of MSM scare tactics are based on large groups of people of unknown virus status, weddings come to mind, same with cruise ships. Both encourage close contact with viral unknowns. Think dancing.

          As large amounts of virus inhaled causes worse cases, avoidance of droplet transmission is first priority.

            When I was a kid one Christmas, my grandparents visited. Grandpa brought a nasty case of the flu with him and three days later we all had it to one degree or the other. Me, very little effect, my sister too. My parents not too bad, but both grandparents got it pretty hard.

        The vaccines work, for two to six months based on the individual. It IS a hazard to another spectrum of people, the virology boys knew adverse effects would happe, it happens with flu shots. The degree though, I believe, has been a surprise.

        I say they work, short term, but in its effect with the disease, it is not effective and allows reinfection way too easily. Studies show that people being ambivalent about separation after getting the vaxx makes vaxxed folks more susceptible to reinfection than unvaxxed.

        Thus the booster, to late. Then the second booster, and third. And how far apart to avoid re infections. Yet to be determined.

        Right now, add it up. Two vaxx to fire up inflammation and get some antibodies. Take out the first group of inflammation susceptible folks, earning the clot shot label. Then a waiting game, currently six months to get a booster because the antibodies have been destroyed, AS THEY SHOULD BE. A spectrum of people get the crud again as their particular immunity takes out antibodies faster.

        Where is the data on B and Killer T cells? If they are not formed, four month booster may be required with all the deleterious effects of the resultant chronic inflammation.

        A doctor compared the mortality of the vaccines with that of Omicron. His conclusion from preliminary info says,

        Come on, Omicron. Halt the vaccines.

      That’s why I keep saying it’s imperative that we learn exactly how Anthony Fauci came to be in charge of the “response”.

      We learned from President Trump his reason (lame excuse) for not firing Fauci, but that was after Fauci had been running the show for months.

      How did he remain in place more than 24 hours, with his known terrible record?

      It would take time for word to get out that he was there. Why wasn’t he quietly shown the door?

          He did start to get clued in, though. Enough to hire Dr. Scott Atlas.

          The trouble was, after hiring Atlas, he allowed Jared and the vice president to keep making a mess of things and keep protecting Birx and Fauci.

          Abysmal management, but it’s unclear to me, not having read the Atlas book yet, how aware he was that his desire that Dr. Atlas now have a say, was not being carried out.

          In any case, he was ultimately in charge, so it’s on him.

        Fauci found a backwater agency, which RFK notes, and turned it into an empire.

        I’ll add on 11/22/63, in the uncertain hours following the murder in Dallas, his father did not seek a security detail from Hoover to protect his family. Instead, he went to the US Marshal’s Service.

    “Do the doctors actually still believe this fucking nonsense?”

    I think they are either brainwashed or blackmailed into going along with the narrative.

    From a woman’s comment on an article I’ll share in another comment post:

    “My family’s deranged brownshirt is my sister, a doctor at Kaiser Permanente in LA (hospitalist). She told me if we didn’t get vaccinated, “You don’t give a shit about anyone but your own selfish selves. As far as I am concerned you are dead to me and I do not want to hear from you again. GO FUCK YOURSELVES.” I wonder if that’s what Kathy says to her patients as well? Pathetic.”

    I have seen similar comments so many times now, I’ve lost count.

    For a doctor to act like this it would seem she’d need to have been terrorized, coerced, or threatened in some manner. They have a lot at stake. And we have seen the letters that they’ve all been sent, telling them they must not question the narrative, or else. So we know that at the very least they’ve been coerced/blackmailed. I wonder what other daily psychological pressures they are put under.

    So yeah, the doctors who have decided to play it safe are now in a nightmare of a moral dilemma.

    But those of us who refuse to comply already understand that you play their game and you lose anyway. In fact, when you comply, you lose even faster.

    These doctors like the one described above in the comment are too afraid to think straight. They’re willing to lose their families over it.

    Really tragic.

      All of my doctor’s at the Cleveland Clinic are pushing the ‘vacine’ as is the clinic itself. This behemoth medical complex appears to be 100% invested in the covid narrative. Perhaps their doctors’ stance has to do with being employees drawing a salary. Perhaps not. To enter any clinic facility requires a facemask, temperature check and hand sanitizer at their checkpoints and a list of questions that must be correctly answered not to be culled for expulsion.

They learned how to follow protocols and give the correct answers, but along the way they forgot how to gather and assess information and turn it into knowledge.

    “this is how you enroll willing, even gleeful ranks of vicious brownshirts not only ready but desperate to oppress others. that’s why half of them joined up in the first place. if it were not this cause, it would be some other. the form the pretext takes is immaterial. it is the chance to do wrong and call it righteous that attracts.

    I have been convinced since the very beginning of the covid19 plandemic that it was a hoax/psyops/live exercise, and everything I have seen occur since then has pretty much proven that out to my satisfaction.

    I don’t think Fauxi made any mistakes, I think he delivered on what he was recruited for. I don’t agree that Trump was ‘duped’ I think he was a useful idiot in many ways, but since he continues to shill for the WEF/Davos/Deep State crew he’s useless.

    I think this was gamed out long ago – I’ve seen the documents proving as much – and I don’t think they will succeed here in the US.

            His father said, we stay on this side of the river. But Trump wanted the big time, to buy and sell in Manhattan. So he made the contacts – a great honor from their point of view since he’s an outsider. We expected him to spit in the face of Kushner crime family? Not going to happen.

        • Beryl of Oyl December 27, 2021 at 11:26 am #

          He was unafraid to stand up to China, get us out of the fake climate agenda, and take the stances he did on NAFTA and NATO.

          He even started to do something about the big racke falling under the umbrella of the border.

          That’s why they brought out their big gun, the covid virus, when they did.

          They knew his achilles’ heel by then.

          BTW Ronald Reagan was duped over the border racket too.

          The Republicans wan’t some of these rackets to continue just as bad as the Democrats do, and they made no secret of their disdain for Donald Trump.

          What did anyone in the RNC do to sop the steal on election night?

          • Wizard of the Saddle December 27, 2021 at 12:49 pm #

            Trump’s problem is that he has Fonzi’s Disease: The inability to ever admit being wrong about anything.

            Trump is creating dissension within the ranks of Trump supporters by his stubborn, mule-headed insistence on continuing to praise the COVID vaccines. If he is serious about running again in 2024 he will fail as a result of this stance. It is a very foolish decision.

            Wise men admit their errors and remind people that anyone is entitled to change their mind on a subject once more data comes in that cries out for a reassessment of one’s position.

            Trump needs to have an epiphany about the dangers of these so-called vaccines. Otherwise, I think he will get trounced by DeSantis in the GOP primaries in 2024.

          • Not_GeorgeT December 27, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

            I think the Wizard pretty much has it nailed.

            Never apologize, never admit you were wrong.

            It might be a good strategy for a big-time real estate developer and wealthy businessman. Not working very well right now in this situation.

            He knows a lot about bankruptcy of large corporations. I thought this would be a strength, as this country is bankrupt and he can thread the needle guiding a multi-$$$ corporate bankruptcy.

            Too many distractions, like impeachments, from little shit actors.

            On Jan 6th, in the afternoon, he stood by himself, alone in front of the cameras, and told people to go home. My impression: he was doing a difficult task. He had to tell people to go home. My further impression: he didn’t like doing it, it had to be done for a number of reasons. He also was making clear no actions by the people present at his rally were violating the Constitution and he was not inciting action to violate the Constitution.

            There is a lot of speculation regarding what was occurring in the background of the area designated the District of Columbia. Understand I’m not referring to the clusterfuck (with due deference to JHK) at the Capitol. IMO that was a pre-planned assault on basic rights such as Habeas Corpus and to show the unwashed mass of deplorables who was really in charge.

            There is, imo, a real threat of Club-K type launchers already in CONUS. More likely from the CCP than anyone else, as they need the resources, thus blackmail. Was this in play?

            To shift gears a little, there was a comment at one point by Jackie Kennedy about “they’ll come after the children”, the when and where I can not recall, but I recall the short clip.

            She also used the term “they” when meeting RFK back up in the DC area as she arrived from Dallas, along the lines of “they did this” and she was still wearing the same clothing.

            reference: Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years Paperback – Illustrated, June 3, 2008
            by David Talbot (Author)

            Publisher : Free Press; Reprint edition (June 3, 2008)
            Language : English
            Paperback : 496 pages
            ISBN-10 : 0743269195
            ISBN-13 : 978-0743269193

            Let’s move back to the present. RFKjr knows full well who murdered his father and his uncle. So did his cousin. The current book is probably the best attempt yet to pull back the curtain. It is very much in the public realm, essentially “kicking butt and taking names”. He is an experienced litigator.

            Notice some of “the clan” (clann ceannedi) have distanced themselves a bit, which he acknowledges.

            How did it come to be a niece and her son drowned in 2020, are there coincidences?

            He’s all in. I didn’t really have any doubts, but when he said, during a recent nearly hour-long interview, the CIA has spent the past decades overthrowing democratically elected governments and installing “other regimes” (he uses different words), he’s put himself in the same place vis-a-vis the 3-letter agencies ( one in particular) as his father and his uncle.

            He is using a different approach. It is pure speculation: did he and his cousin know publishing was the way?

            returning to DJT:

            Did DJT change in some way when his brother Robert died? Why/how did his brother die? For real. Apparently they were rather close. This is all speculation on my part.

            Patterns anyone?

        • workingclasshero December 27, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

          I think Trump stated recently that getting vaxxed and boosted should be voluntary and not mandated.What’s the big problem and feelings of betrayal?He would look like a bigger fool if he went all in on conspiracy,wouldn’t he?

          • Jarek December 27, 2021 at 12:28 pm #

            He cares about staying out of prison more than what the voters think. And staying alive too.

            Once he got into office, he raved about Black and Hispanic job numbers repeatedly – never mentioning his White base at all. And once Blacks became gods, he campaigned on the “platinum plan” – that would have outdone on Lyndon Johnson in its largesse.

          • Beryl of Oyl December 27, 2021 at 1:32 pm #

            he keeps claiming the shots are safe and effective. Without the shots, which should not exist, because they are neither safe nor effective, they cannot install their goal of the digital passport under the guise of “health”. That’s the problem.

            He, and every other elected official, knows damn well what they want with these “passports”, and the “choice” statement is what we used to call a cop out.

            President Trump is essentially telling us it would be better for us if we just got in the box car on our own, really, it’s nice in there.

            Not good enough.

            I put this up above some where:

            https://videobanned.nl/aiovg_videos/clif-highs-take-on-why-trumps-saying-what-he-has-about-the-jab-23-12-2021/

            What do you think?

          • Not_GeorgeT December 28, 2021 at 11:42 am #

            messianic druid,

            It is interesting and Clif High does the linguistic thing. He makes a case for looking past the obvious.

            I’m willing to revisit Clif High’s idea the next time DJT talks about vaccines, as he is looking for a shift in perception if I am understanding him (CH) correctly.

            What I found interesting, and it seems to get overlooked by many, myself included, is how the change in definition of vaccine changed the use of words.

            I don’t like the definition being changed because I think of the change in terms of validating the jab. I mentally glossed over how it also made the various low cost high success treatments into “vaccines” by the definition change. I saw it, but then thought “they’d never do it” when I probably should have gone to “they inadvertently put them all in play”.

            Thus, as CH asks, what is DJT really saying?

            Thoughts? Is this somewhat near your understanding of what is being said?

      • MaryQueen December 27, 2021 at 11:04 am #

        Yes, he is acting like a good WEF puppet like all world leaders are. They are in cahoots.

        People are programmed to believe that there are more than 1 side among the PTB but it’s us against them, not R v B or Dem v Repub.

        Most cannot escape that tribal mindset. This has been used to divide us.

        I see that the unjabbed like me wish no ill on the people that have been manipulated, coerced, blackmailed and terrorized into getting shots whether willingly or not. So that’s good. Most of us understand that it’s us against the .001%.

        The ones that are brainwashed do not understand that.

        I’m actually happy if the Trumpers are starting to question his infallibility. It’s a start.

            I disagree. Sports teams were a healthy outlet for tribalism.

            Except for the British soccer teams.

            Come to think of it, that could be why they insist on killing off all the young athletes.

            They already succeeded in driving a wedge between Americans with the “woke” NFL.

        • Beryl of Oyl December 27, 2021 at 12:12 pm #

          That’s the kind of thinking that got us here, IMO.

          When I was yelling about President Trump’s handling of the covid, how he did things no president should ever have done, and that we needed to insist he turn things around and FIRE FAUCI immediately, I kept being met with foolish statements like “oh no, he sidelined Fauci (he did not) and other foolish claims such as he’s not responsible, it’s your governor.

          When I would refute this with proof, then I would get, well vote for Biden then.

          Guess what? We may as well have voted for Biden, because that’s what we got.

          If we had criticized the man we hired, when he was going against our wishes, we could have turned things around.

          The number of people who voted for neither man, in some key states, was greater than Joe Biden’s margin of “victory”.

          If President Trump i going to continue in his new career as a pharmaceutical representative, he will be useless as a president.

    Excellent Jim, as always. Thanks, as always, for sharing your gift, appreciated more than you may realize. Hope you and your girl are enjoying a little down time during the slow week.

    “At this point, the official narratives are crazier than anything out of Alice in Wonderland, leading with the nakedly absurd idea that the vaxxed must be protected from the unvaxxed — though all are susceptible to Covid and equally capable of spreading it.” ~ JHK

    Yep, the vax is a proxy for submission – many already vaxxed – some never will. Many vaxxed will pay with their lives unfortunately, and the screws will continue to be tightened, at every turn, against the unvaxxed.

    • GreenAlba December 27, 2021 at 10:55 am #

      The partially vaxxed will pay in both ways – in health from the jabs and in oppression because they won’t take any more. There are a few of us on this site. They’ll get my grandson over my dead body, if I’m around, but I’m wondering generally if surviving is even the best option if your parents are already doomed.

      • TaxDonkey December 27, 2021 at 11:11 am #

        It would be interesting to have an estimate of how many double-vaxxed are refusing the 3rd vaxx. Is this a big group of people? Every one of these people is a resister and represents a crack in the mass psychosis.

        • GreenAlba December 27, 2021 at 11:19 am #

          I heard anecdotally that lots in the UK have declined (although presumably lots more have accepted – the psychosis appears to still hold a critical mass). I also heard that the people on the ground were saying the mass protests in France, in particular, and Italy, include lots of awakened double-vaxxed.

          • TaxDonkey December 27, 2021 at 11:26 am #

            Maybe there will be a much lower uptake for each successive booster until this thing finally burns out.

          • GreenAlba December 27, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

            Well, people will have to notice eventually, TD, if the multi-vaxxed around them start dying off. I don’t even mind being the evidence for my kids, in due course, but it won’t help them with dealing with the CBDCs and associated digital wallet tyranny.

            Sorry to hear about your career going down the tubes because of this evil. You did the right thing, though.

          • GreenAlba December 27, 2021 at 12:06 pm #

            Also, I think if the vaxx programme were to fizzle out, they’d just move on to Plan B. They can rain down spike proteins, graphene (hydr)oxide or even smallpox on us directly.

            But once the digital wallets are in place, they don’t need a buy-in, as they will have pure coercion.

            Some didn’t fall for it. If it burns you, it burns you. Better to burn now than in Purgatory. Carry on!

          • Jarek December 27, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

            Or should the winners apologize to the losers? That’s what helped destroy us.

            Western Culture depends on a delicate balance between Pagan and Christian virtues. Pagan triumph is clean and natural, even if primitive. Would you prefer it mixed in with Christian virtue, thus creating hypocrisies and winning by losing and people in authority feeling virtuous for allowing it?

            Alright then.

            There is a way to artfully mix them of course. The Hero or Champion who is modest. But is it real or just a show? it is difficult, but yes even the show of modesty can be helpful to society. Maybe for another, a fan, it will be real. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice (or the merely natural) pays to virtue.

            You still need us, Jarek. We’re an important part of your resistance, the awoken portion of those who took it early, when virtually everything was unknowns. Now we have known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

            But you won’t get extra resisters by insulting them. They could be sitting at home feeling sorry for themselves, but they’re out marching with the unvaxxed, in multiple European cities (and presumably elsewhere, including Australia). And the unvaxxed marchers are grateful for their presence.

            What a bizarre thing to say. I neither wish for nor need an apology. An apology for what?

            I don’t hate you either – we’re supposed to be on the same side. The vaxx may or may not get me before they get you (and/or me) some other way. I’m not even worried, except for my family.

            The vaccines might not be perfect, but they are effective at preventing and reducing serious Covid-19 outcomes. This is a good thing.

          Yes. It would also be interesting to see stats on how many got off the train after jab no. 1.

          My friend’s mother, 91 or so, had bad reaction to the first jab. Her doctor advised NOT to have the second jab, and told my friend that he was seeing this is a number of patients and advising them against the second jab.

          Of course this was a real doctor. The old lady’s longtime physician. Not a temp worker at a CVS or something.

          Anyhow, I expect there are millions who stopped after no. 1. Would love to see stats on this.

    “Periodically in history the human race goes crazy…”

    We are at that point.

    I reckon this is the last blast before we get “and does terrible things it later regrets” because the Covidians don’t know anything except nihilism. They will fight for their right to be afraid.

    Did anyone see the footage of the lunatic Karen on an airplane screaming at a passenger to put his mask on? She didn’t have hers on while she was ranting. She slapped the guy and spit on him, THIS is the kind of crazy that’s going to happen as the virus narrative wanes. A lot of folks didn’t have much purpose before this so when it goes away their going to lose it. Stupid crazy is sloppy and reckless so watch out.

          I heard she was very drunk. It can be hard to know what to do in such a situation.

          Yes, she deserved to be forcibly put in her place, but would it be more upsetting to the others on the plane for the man to stand up and start smacking her around?

          Maybe flight attendants should add what to do in case of assault to the safety drill.

          Or better yet, get rid of the foolish masks, because there’s the problem right there.

          Yes, Alex Jones was attacked by his wife on Christmas Eve. They would love to lock him up. Even in street fights, lately he doesn’t throw any punches but just covers up or tries to restrain the attacker. But he is a strong man and a fearless brawler according to Joe Rogan.

          So one can imagine Jones just trying to cover his face as his wife punched and kicked him, perhaps holding her off with one hand as he called the police.

            The majority of domestic violence has the man as the victim.
            It’s not perceived that way because
            1. I doesn’t fit the narrative.
            2. It’s unmanly to complain.
            3 on most occasions it’s hard not to laugh.

    • Prospero December 27, 2021 at 12:44 pm #

      At first, I thought her name was Karen. Now I know better:

      “Karen is a pejorative term for a white woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term is a meme depicting white women who use their privilege to demand their own way.”

      Did the term originate with the movie noted below?

    On a related note:

    It was a pleasure to see The Washington football team (formerly The Redskins) get shellacked Sunday night by the Dallas Cowboys (56-14). I lost interest in professional sports a long time ago but caught the fourth quarter because I couldn’t fall asleep. If you’re a running back on the w f t it must be humiliating to be coached by a woman (Jennifer King). No wonder they looked so pitiful. They also were granted their second touchdown even though on replay the ball was clearly fumbled. Apparently professional football has become so woke that now even clearly visible results must now be censored as truth and facts are sacrificed in the name of equity. I wonder, did The White House hack into the official’s earpiece during the review? What farce!

    Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy was justly upset by the verdict. In the last 90 seconds, with the Cowboys moving the ball at will, I was hoping Dallas would score one last time to (in my fantasy) send a message that league sanctioned gaslighting of patrons and viewers would be dealt with harshly. Alas, it was not to be for Mike McCarthy is a gentleman. Anyway, eunuchs of the Left, see you at the next gender reassignment gala. Ta Ta!

    • King of Comedy December 27, 2021 at 11:33 am #

      Almost all of pro sports became unwatchable after the woke ritual saturation of the broadcasts predicated upon St. George’s martyrdom.

      I have to say though that I will tune in to Packers games, even though I am not a resident and/or a fan of Green Bay. The idea of Aaron Rodgers, who has treated the Covid and vaccine hysteria with all the contempt usually reserved for dogshit on the sole of one’s shoe, raising the Lombardi trophy is, for this reporter, as close to must-see TV as you can get.

    I find it interesting that our host has steadfastly refused to believe in any malfeasance in the 911 hoax yet is now pretty much convinced that the pandemic is a well thought out plan of control. I also think that perhaps someone like Rand Paul or better yet a new and untarnished player will confront Fauci on TV and finally burst the bubble of insanity just like Joseph Welch did to McCarthy, turning the tide back to a rational and pragmatic society in this country. We are right on the cusp of sanity. We just need a public humiliation of Anthony Fauci to start the ball rolling.

          Most people are low fliers. Any polity that denies this is doomed. Any potential one that imagines otherwise will be stillborn.

          A craftsman or artist knows the qualities of the material he is working with – and thus what can be done or not done with it. If he doesn’t, he is no craftsman or artist at all.

          I don’t know what other reality you have. But you’re no social philosopher, that much is clear.

          One Thoreau in all of Concord. Get it?

            Even Thoreau wasn’t a self-sufficient environmentalist braving the elements to forge a new society, spiritually or practically.

            His experiment at Walden Pond lasted two years, and every fortnight he walked the rails to visit/talk with his mother while getting his clothes washed there.

            Ironic, too, in that he stated, “when you fly, you fly alone.”

            From Daniel Heitman:

            “The premise of Walden—a man adventuring in a hut he builds for himself near a lake—seems like the ultimate boy ’s fantasy, and the convenient proximity of Thoreau’s cabin to friends and neighbors can remind one, a bit wryly, of a child pitching a tent in his parents’ backyard.”

            In the enneagram, Thoreau would be classified as a self-preservationist five. All observation, with a strict need to be alone much of the time. The trouble with the enneagram is that it’s mostly limited to the psychological realm. Thoreau was a Peter Pan — a brilliant one, with lots of useful and sometimes transcendental wisdom to share. But ultimately he’s no sage.

            @ Jarec: If one decides to work with wood, the integrity, the spirit of the wood becomes the teacher – the master – of the apprentice. Once the basics are learned, on the path details such as the various species and their qualities allow for increased possibilities. Green, air-dried, or kiln-dried, Willow, Cypress, RockMaple, Hickory, Black Locust. From stump to Steinway, living wood resists your intentions and demands your respect. The same is true of stone, and steel. One can know the universe through one’s hands and there is no deception. I dropped out of college in 1980 and this is what I have lived.

            One Thoreau in Concord, true, but why even mention Henry? or philosophy?
            Each must have his own, and can borrow and test the philosophies of others. What I have built cannot stand forever, but it will stand and keep others warm long after I pass through the Bardo.

            Truth and Life are infinite and eternal. Death is a part of life; lies are not.

            Onething more: any social philosophy built on low fliers, by high fliers is built on hubris and lies. This is the domain of scholars in the academy. We the people run and repair chainsaws, we have grime under our nails at times, we build things, we design things, and we evolve social relations. Our betters don’t hand us rights – we fight for our Bill of Rights, before anyone writes them down. Some times we win, sometimes we loose. Ya cain’t work yo mojo al de time. Social philosophy ain’t got mojo. No magic. No Life. It’s a destraction, a delusion, if you believed in it, you would believe doctors “first do no harm”

            I must admit though that the Vedic System and its less developed European equivalents gives artists a short shrift. Since they’re working with matter – just workmen. And of course a very gifted craftsmen is an artist in my book. Musicians as well. They just don’t fit in the threefold European scheme of those who work, those who fight, and those who pray. Or the Vedic workers, businessmen, warrior/administrators, and Priest/Intellectuals. Sudras, Vaisyas, Kshatriyas and Brhamins,

            It’s a question of balance. We need hierarchies, strict ones. But they should have an element of affinity-fluidity in them. Even in heads of State. Though that, I confess, is a pipe dream now. (It’s both hilarious and sobering to reflect that Mao and Stalin were better poets than any U.S. President. Granted, it’s a low bar, but there’s a takeaway in there somewhere.)

            A system that gives artists a short shrift, because they are working with matter, seems to me to be giving matter short shrift.

            A musician, artist, or builder is a person who has seen the beatific vision and learned to draw it forth from matter. Sometimes, as Yuri points out, it seems as if matter is teaching the workman, and that matter is drawing forth the beatific vision from the man.

          • Jarek December 28, 2021 at 11:57 am #

            Matter is inert (at least relatively). The least sentient level. The farthest from God. This is Teilhardism, Anthea – a terrible heresy.

            I get it though: Mary/Mother/Matter. But you forget the Me – Meter or Measurement. Put them together and you get Matrix. People like you would walk us right into the Trap.

            Shakti needs Shiva, the Spirit. The Earth needs the Sky. It is the Spirit in man that forms the material in accordance with its nature. Beyond that, our experience elicits what is already inside of us. It does not create it. Matter doesn’t teach us about math, but working with matter draws that innate Wisdom forth. A key distinction.

    Speaking of who believes in science, the Market Ticker guy has done an article (another one) on his reasoning in making up his mind against the vaccines.

    It seems that a cartoonist has been claiming that anyone refusing the death jab couldn’t be making a rational decision, because his own decision to get the shot wasn’t rational.

    I’m not sure I’ve got that exactly right, because it doesn’t sound like something a thinking person would say.

    Anyway, you can read it for yourself, if you care to. You may find Mr. Denninger’s reasoning to be useful if you are still wanting to bother explaining to any family why you won’t take the shot, or why you think they shouldn’t.

            Depends on what you mean by prosperous civilizations.
            There was the Silk Road, where the prosperous Chinese traded silk and spices to the Persians, Arabs, North Africans and Indians, all of whom built impressive cities, with the wealthy living luxurious lives, while most Europeans were still living in mud huts.
            If you mean the last couple of hundred years, when the Europeans learned how to use fossil fuels to create amazing products, leading to the wealthy leading luxurious lives, then you might have a point. And for a few decades in the mid 20th Century, quite a few people in the US and Europe led relatively luxurious lives fueled by oil. But those days are coming to an end now. That’s probably why they are trying to kill us, either because they think it’s better than us starving in a Mad Max scenario, or because they think we’ll come for them, and not necessarily as a mob, maybe as an aggrieved revenge seeker for a personal loss. One or the other.

      Great comment, Cave. “What’s left of maleness is naught but circus of emblematic gesture like loud motorcycles…” I can’t count the number of “rebel” males I knew before the Great Hysteria who , when a REAL challenge came up, all bowed the knee and willingly got the jab. Same with all the “rebel” rock stars and “independent” journalists. Our local janitor is a prime example. He was always so “cool” and laidback with his tattoos and Harley Davidson, but with Covidiocy, he’s turned into a little Nazi.

    Fauxi has stated more than once that what he recommends you do IS NOT what you need — it will, however, lead to what you need. This latest BS line about domestic travel requiring a vax IS NOT to make domestic travel safer, albeit that’s what the lemmings hear and repeat. He says we need that mandate to get more people vaccinated. Similar to the double-mask hilarity, he said we needed 2 because he wanted everyone to wear at least one.

    That’s his “logic:” Tell the sheep there’s a carrot in the stall because he needs the sheep to get in the stall. The weird part, is that he doesn’t really know why the sheep need to get in the stall because he’s too busy trying to come up with a lie to get them in.

    Once you look through that prism, just go back and review all his other recommendations.

    He is one sick f^$#.

    “Reality is penetrating the fog and fury of propaganda spewed out…”

    ‘Reality’ is an interesting thing.

    Ever since we’ve had ‘Authority’ figures publicly peddling the idea that (as Empire), “We Make Our Own Reality”… individuals all over the place have adopted this idea as their own personal life creed and default setting life and belief style.

    And while it is true that each of us in our own way does make our own reality, up until now most of us have also had the desire to share a common space and common ground of consensus reality with others in the outside World. And it is that ‘wanting to share’ a reality with others that is driving much of today’s madness. They are seeking this sharing in a weird and distorted way.

    Instead of truly creating their own reality, many people are just going tribal and choosing to throw in with a Red or Blue team, a White or Minority team, a cult of worshiping ‘The Science!’ , exalting a cold virus to status of The Most-Important Thing-That-Has-Ever-Existed, a true-truth-seeking group or some collection of misguided souls hell bent on living out a lifetime of distortion, or some other melding into a group identity because they do not have the strength and maturity to become an adult and forge their own ideas and ways in life. In other words, institutionalized adolescence. Why… it’s been common for some time now to see adults going out in public to the grocery store or MegaChinaMart or some other place WEARING PAJAMAS. How cute. Adults purporting to carry on Worldly business while wearing flannels with pictures of clouds and bunnies on them. All they need is a pacifier in their hands and their wardrobe is complete. Oh wait… they DO have their pacifier. Their damn cellphone surgically attached to their hand. They simply add the empty blank look in their eyes and the entire look is complete.

    “… the Covid-19 pandemic was a deliberate program by a gang of powerful international adventurers to install a regime of surveillance and extreme control over formerly free citizens — all in the service of “re-setting” the ailing global financial system, reducing the population of elder pensioners to relieve the West’s payment obligations, and stifling industrial economies as a cure for climate change.”

    “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” ? Franklin D. Roosevelt

    You can expand on this quote more fully. IF IT HAPPENS AT ALL IN LIFE – IT WAS PLANNED THAT WAY.

    “Do the doctors actually still believe this fucking nonsense?”

    There are very few Doctors left. Doctors are people who live by their sacred medical oaths to do no harm. These days, doctors are actively involved in CAUSING great harm and suppressing real helpful treatments. They are no longer Doctors, but whores for personal profit and career preservation and peddlers of misery and death. And do they believe this nonsense? It doesn’t really matter if they do or not. All that matters is whether they participate in jamming a needle full of death into the arms of living human beings.

    “Do you understand that periodically in history the human race goes crazy and does terrible things that it later regrets?”

    The human race today did not just go crazy. It was DRIVEN there by powerful forces who hide in the shadows and inflict great harm and misery upon the human family for their own financial, power-seeking, and demon-spirited gain. This is why every major institution on the Planet was taken over and corrupted over time. This is why our manufacturing base was destroyed… why organized religion was made impotent… why the school systems were turned into indoctrination centers that peddle nonsense… why the bedrock institution of the family unit was attacked and destroyed… why a tiny group of money-changers was given full control of our money and financial systems to manipulate for their own personal gain and that of connected insiders.

    A once-healthy functioning society was murdered by slow political, economic, religious, scholastic, ‘scientific’, and social poisoning sent down from those who had a plan and a goal. And who have executed this plan to perfection.

    “Do you not see what is going on?”

    A further question… DO YOU EVEN CARE?

    • Jarek December 27, 2021 at 1:11 pm #

      Well said. For the most part, all people care about is making money at this point. One can almost admire the crazies for caring about other things like multiple genders. Almost. Except this kind of Idealism is what got us here. Normal people are “basics” – inferiors in other words.

          Ok, bad idealism. Crazy idealisms – like Libertarianism, Feminism, Communism, or Islam. They want to convert the world, by force if need be.

          There’s always going to be some kind of ruling Ideology. Be it bad or good. And some are going to really like it – the Idealists – be it bad or good and possibly for the worst possible real reasons, like the desire to dominate. Or when the time comes, to kill.

    ‘On Sunday night, a monster of stupidity named Dr. William Schaffner, professor of infectious disease at Vanderbilt University, came on CNN and importuned Americans to get their children vaxxed.’

    As with all 2nd tier med centers/schools, Vanderbilt is a total pharma whore, desperate for money to maintain their previously fairly good reputation. In the 90s and early 2000s, when still a full time academic, I had some dealings with them in terms of grants in which some of their faculty were co-researchers; my overall impression was one of extreme money grubbing and a willingness to do or say anything to get said money. And I mean anything. (interpret as you like).

    Just another example of a former american institution succumbing to the lure of big pharma dollars and losing its soul in the process.

    Dr. Eric Rubin, a Harvard professor of immunology who serves as a voting member of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory committee, admitted that it won’t be clear whether vaccinating children against COVID-19 is safe until the shots are widely administered:

    “We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it,” he said. “That’s just the way it goes.”

        The aliens, Herr Skorzeny (assuming there is but one race of them, which is rather a shaky assumption) consider humankind in rather the same way as we might appraise a monster anthill right where the extension of a runway is being planned: “What a shame to bulldoze it and kill tens of thousands of sentient beings but aviation safety comes first.”

        This is the conclusion of researcher Budd Hopkins, having interviewed hundreds if not thousands of purported abductees. He doesn’t like or trust the beings described, as he has seen at first hand the enduring trauma they inflict on those he interviewed, out of callousness or unconcern.

        Interestingly, Dr. John E. Mack, a Harvard psychologist about as credentialed-up as you can imagine, and Hopkins’ collaborator, wasn’t quite as down on them. His trip to Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) to talk to schoolchildren who had bumped into unknown beings fitting the usual description, was quite revealing: “You are threatening to destroy your beautiful world – turn back from this path” and so on. Maybe they figured an appeal to schoolkids would have more effect than talking to the psychos in charge of the money and the weaponry.

        If disclosure is forced and the Visitors reveal themselves – THAT will become the “real reset”. All bets are off.

    “… the vaxxed must be protected from the unvaxxed — though all are susceptible to Covid and equally capable of spreading it.

    Do the doctors actually still believe this fucking nonsense? ”

    I thought that the doctors think treated children are less likely to spread it. I haven’t read or heard any say this but there were some studies in the past that noted how when children are 100% vaccinated for flu the flu death rate for the elderly goes down. IF the mRNA treatments don’t reduce incidence and don’t reduce the contagiousness then of course it is nonsense.

    Another crazy thing is to tell us the mRNA treatment is safe and effective (95% prevention of a positive PCR result and if a positive PCR result does occur 100% effective at preventing hospitalization and death) and entirely voluntary, then when it becomes evident that it is neither safe nor as effective as advertised tell us it is now mandatory.

    Are you wondering which booster shot is right for you? Fortunately, USATODAY has the answer:

    It turns out that you’re free to choose which brand of booster you want — regardless of which pharmaceutical company manufactured your first dose(s).

    “That’s right: If you got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot, you can get a Moderna or Pfizer booster two months later. Completed the primary, two-dose Moderna series? In six months, you can opt for the Pfizer or J&J booster. And if you started with Pfizer, you can get a Moderna or J&J booster after six months.”

    So what are you waiting for? Both the CDC and the pharmaceutical industrial complex have assured us that mixing and matching experimental Covid drugs is both safe and effective.

    I am not. We are still debating whether or not we rode a duct-taped Pringles can to the moon a full decade before the compact disc was conceived.

    JHK – Do the doctors actually still believe this fucking nonsense?

    I’m curious about this too. Can’t speak for the millions out there, but I can attest after Christmas dinner that some “peripheral” doctors do (psychiatrists, academics, etc)…the ones who aren’t personally doling out vaccine doses or advising patients on them on a daily basis. Or at least they appear to believe most of it. Have a few in the family, and they are on board with most everything, as their outward reputations with their peers seems to depend on it.

    They are now starting to point out some of the flaws though. But carefully, and anecdotally. They also have stopped telling me they’re concerned for me based on my covid jab abstention. In fact, they now appear to do their best to avoid the conversation at all (or deflect if brought up circumstantially), which is exactly what I’ve been trying to do all along…so that’s a step in the right direction

    I’m stumped too. But if you look at the chronological events, it becomes difficult not to see that the financial system was on the verge on collapse and Operation Covid came into play. While we are under the illusion of the past system of nation states, there are really only a small number of people and families who rule the world. I think they know there’s an energy crisis, financial crisis, and population crisis at bay…evident from the sequence of events.

    On April 4, 2019, we learned that Saudi Arabia was threatening to ditch dollar oil trades to stop ‘NOPEC’. Quoted from the linked article, “Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell its oil in currencies other than the dollar if Washington passes a bill exposing OPEC members to U.S. antitrust lawsuits, three sources familiar with Saudi energy policy said.” This was another direct threat to U.S. dollar supremacy.

    From Fabio’s essay we learned that in June 2019, the Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS), which is the ‘Central Bank of all central banks’, set off international alarm bells. Its Annual Economic Report, highlighted “overheating […] in the leveraged loan market”, where “credit standards have been deteriorating” and “collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) have surged – reminiscent of the steep rise in collateralized debt obligations [CDOs] that amplified the subprime crisis [in 2008].”

    Fabio then points out that on August 9, 2019, the BIS issued a working paper calling for “unconventional monetary policy measures” to “insulate the real economy from further deterioration in financial conditions.” Shortly thereafter on August 15, 2019, the world’s most powerful investment fund, Blackrock Inc. issued a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn, which basically prescribed a plan for the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity into the system while avoiding hyperinflation (i.e. Weimar Republic, Argentina, Zimbabwe). Then, from August 22-24, 2019, G7 central bankers met to discuss BlackRock’s paper along with urgent measures to prevent a meltdown.

    On September 16, 2019, JPMorgan’s metals desk became a criminal enterprise “U.S. prosecutors took an unusually aggressive turn in their investigation of price fixing at JPMorgan Chase & Co., describing its precious metals trading desk as a criminal enterprise operating inside the bank for nearly a decade.” If you’ve read my posts over the years, then you understand how paper gold contracts have been created out of thin air to manipulate the markets much like dollars have been printed out of thin air to hold markets up. We don’t know exactly how many paper gold contracts do not have physical backing in the world, but it’s thought to be a lot. In my last post, you might recall that capitalism (which ends with financialization at zero) is actually a very clever funding strategy because losses in fiat currency don’t jeopardize a nation’s real wealth stockpiled in physical gold.

    The very next day liquidity in the banking system dried up. Repo rates jumped to 10% from about 2% the week before. From Fabio’s essay: “The Fed begins the emergency monetary programme, pumping hundreds of billions of dollars per week into Wall Street, effectively executing BlackRock’s ‘going direct’ plan. (Unsurprisingly, in March 2020 the Fed will hire BlackRock to manage the bailout package in response to the ‘COVID-19 crisis’).”

    From Fabio’s essay again, we learn that on September 19, 2019, an Executive Order 13887 is signed by Trump, “establishing a National Influenza Vaccine Task Force whose aim is to develop a ‘5-year national plan (Plan) to promote the use of more agile and scalable vaccine manufacturing technologies and to accelerate development of vaccines that protect against many or all influenza viruses.’ This is to counteract ‘an influenza pandemic’, which, ‘unlike seasonal influenza […] has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe, infect higher numbers of people, and cause high rates of illness and death in populations that lack prior immunity’. As someone guessed, the pandemic was imminent, while in Europe too preparations were underway (see here and here).”

    Then on October 18, 2019, what do you think happened? A global zoonotic pandemic is simulated in New York during Event 201. According to Fabio, it was “a strategic exercise coordinated by the Johns Hopkins Biosecurity Center and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.”

    I wrote up this up at https://www.agapy.com/the-purpose-driven-pandemic-what-is-it-here-for/

    So it’s not that we are dealing with superheroes and villains here…what we are dealing with is perhaps the most heavily invested people in this financial system know it’s on the verge of financial collapse. They know that there’s an energy crisis coming. And they know that having a population that grew 8X in the last 150yrs (corresponding with oil) will need to shrink in order to avoid chaos. So think technocrat, Klaus Schwab, great reset, moving real assets, etc. In this current financial system, fiat money is like monopoly money that helps them accumulate real assets…real money is the 37 tonnes of gold that 100+ nations safekeep and exchange among themselves behind the paper gold market.

    Financialization has an end, and they aren’t stupid enough not to understand that…we are not dealing with stupidity. We are still in the pandemic because they want us to remain in the pandemic until there’s a collapse and the great reset is ushered in.

    • Epicur December 27, 2021 at 2:20 pm #

      The financial system has been on the verge of collapse since 1971. Nixon closed the gold window rather than defending the dollar which would have precipitated another depression.

      They could collapse it at any time since then and it is only through massive (and illegal) efforts than collapse has been prevented.

      The people on top need a large population to keep the wheels turning and wealth accumulating in their hands for as long as the credit expansion continues. They profit from the masses recycling the money they print and it is to their benefit that they game keeps going.

      Have you not noticed how politicians say they want to give money to the poor because they spend it rather than save? That’s the message every time the economy slows.

      Only when the credit cycle peaks and confidence in fiat money dies will it become to their benefit to reduce the population, because when the credit cycle starts on the downward leg there will be billions of restive, hungry, angry, people.

        50 years now since Nixon left the gold standard. Much of America’s production has moved outside of the U.S. unto a strong dollar reserve currency. Many Americans don’t work or else they make money doing “faux work” (anti-production) in country while earning large salaries. And many Americans have big fat pensions owed to them by the debtors. The world population must decrease because we are now at zero interest rates, they can’t raise rates without collapsing everything built on leverage and debt, the economy can’t grow, the U.S. has the biggest trade deficit ever, and there’s an energy crisis on the horizon. If you were on top of the world, and on top the system, what would you do? Let things collapse chaotically or try to control it through technology and manipulation? Isn’t everything about the market now artificially manipulated and propped up? I’ll tell you what they won’t do…and that’s tell people what they’re doing.

        • Epicur December 27, 2021 at 4:53 pm #

          “If you were on top of the world, and on top the system, what would you do?”

          Personally, I expect them to institute MMT.

          This will require more control of the economy and the people. I don’t expect it to work well in the USA, but they will try. China might be able to make it work. We will see as the credit system falters.

          World population has been falling for a while in the first world except where immigrants have been used to make up the decrease.

          My expectation is that we will see wars and plagues that reduce population once it sinks in that people are not fungible.

            Well, they’re already trying to use the Magic Money Tree. The real question is how will nature react? For that rationale, I believe in enantiodromia, explained by Heraclitus. What I would do? Probably start by telling the truth. The obvious solution, since 100+ nations already have physical gold as a backup is to do a gold reset and wipe out the debt. But there’s no clean way of fixing anything. It’ll all have to collapse and start again, because all they’ve done is kick the can further down the road. There comes a point when you’re too far away from home, and you can’t get back alive.

          Hello Wendy Wendissimo,

          “I’ll tell you what they won’t do–tell people what they’re doing”

          Nicely stated!

          I found some of your blogs, very insightful and astute. I look forward to your next blog and your next posting here.

      You are very wise indeed!

      The GOEs, through their purchased public-private policy-setting purchased sycophants, are conducting a sadomasochistic game of blood-sporting financial musical chairs.

      The accelerating step down of the guardian class is indicative of that which is to come, when the music stops, within the civil-social realm.
      The program is designed to pit Commoner v. Commoner, pursuant to human population reduction, ALL with plausible deniability.

      Rather than setting policies to reduce the percolating variables, those employed in the service of public health and safety are exacerbating them.

      Under the law of self-organized criticality, these are the modeled variables that are AT or EXCEED critical point:

      Borders – Unsecured
      Civil Unrest
      Consumer – Credit
      Crime – Urban
      Earthquakes
      Education
      Electric Grid-Eastern
      Electric Grid-Texas
      Electric Grid-Western
      Floods
      Food Availability
      Healthcare System
      Homelessness
      Hurricanes
      Hydrocarbon Transports
      Hydrocarbons – Production
      Inflation
      Interstate Highway System – Urban Centers
      Market – Debt
      Market – Housing
      Market- Credit
      Market- Equity
      Military Rank and File Defection
      Pandemic
      Political Gridlock
      Potable Water – Urban
      Poverty
      Public – Debt
      Public – Emergency Services
      Qualified Labor – Professional Services
      Qualified Labor – Trade
      Student Load – Debt
      Supply Chain – Critical Infrastructure Material
      Supply Chain – Non-Critical Infrastructure Material
      Telecommunications
      Terrorism
      Unvetted Immigration
      War-Civil
      War-Worldwide
      Wastewater Treatment – Urban
      Western Drought
      Western Food Production
      Western Shipping Container Cargo Ports
      Western Water Reservoirs/Reserves
      Western Wildfires

      We remain at DEFCON-1, as when variables exceed critical point, collapse is the result, within that realm.

      The rolling waves of collapse are underway across multiple realms.

      Here is an effective introduction to the law of self-organized criticality, as it pertains to California wildfires:

    “Do you want your country back? ” JHK

    My nation was not taken, the citizens went out with a tide and i, born in nineteen fifty one, have been waiting and watching the shore for fifty six years hoping for their return.

    Once a people have become convinced murdering children for profit is acceptable, their rational being descends into chaos.

    Murdering your neighbor as an act of pre-emptive self defense is only a variation on a theme.

    2/9/1965: Vietnam War: The first United States troops with a combat mission, a Marine Corps Hawk air defense missile battalion, are sent to South Vietnam.

    The above is a lie of exactly the same dimension as the innoculation is “safe and effective”. “We are not in Cambodia”, We are not bombing Laos”,” Grenada’s marxist regime is a threat to the United States” are just a few of the lies the citizens of the United States have willingly ingested to maintain the status quo.

    The boys and girls genius’ do not have the intellectual capacity to pull their pipe dream off and the majority don’t have the cojones to confront anything due to a fear of social rejection.

      Thirdcoast: something is definitely up. Biden is dialling it down and so are many of the other China flu cheerleaders. The PCR is being canned on the 31st and there is no hint at what will replace it. They are even saying that flu and (shock, horror!) the common cold have made a comeback. It all sounds good on the surface, but a little voice at the back of my head asks, “What are the bastards up to now?”

  47. eatabanker December 27, 2021 at 3:44 pm #

    I suggest the next step along the path to recovery is to stop calling Tony Fauci “Doctor Tony Fauci”. Regardless of his credentials they are misleading in the extreme.

    It’s like referring to Joseph Goebbels as a journalist.

    He would be better identified as “Homicidal Psychopath Tony Fauci”, not Doctor Tony Fauci. And as for he and his predator and parasite cabal of career swindlers, murderous deceivers, and corrupt, sock puppet traitors, I suggest the 7.62 Chinese solution publicly administered should be considered essential for the speediest fiscal recovery.

    This would be an act of national self-defence.

        Mary: my questions too. They’ll probably use pigeon entrails. Couldn’t be more inaccurate than the useless PCR. The most optimistic reading of all this is that they know the jig is up concerning the fake pandemic. They’ll declare victory, bring back flu and move on to the next mass hysteria.

    Ok, here is what is truly puzzling me: mobs of people are lined up around the block here for hours in the cold, waiting to be Covid tested. Fights are breaking out, people have panicked looks on their faces. Here’s the thing, if you’re not feeling sick, if you don’t have symptoms, why are you being tested? Yes, if you have a fever, if you are feeling poorly, by all means take the test, see if you indeed have Covid. Maybe it’s just a cold that’s afflicting you, or the flu that is going around as well. But why put yourself thru all of this if you are not sick? It doesn’t make sense. Its madness.

        Australia has one of those health-expert TV dudes – Dr Norman Swan – who is in fact the father of the young reporter who made Donald Trump squirm in that interview in 2020.

        Anyway – he said exactly the same thing.

        While he is strongly pro-vaccine and pro-booster, he also believes the level of community worry and anxiety is ROTFT … he says calm down – you either have a cold, or maybe the flu, or at worst a dose of the Covid that you will almost certainly survive.

        There is no way wind turbines, solar panels, big batteries and (least of all) EVs are going to replace the mountains of coal and oceans of oil&gas that are used every day.

        You can’t legislate to to the new green energy economy – it takes years of research and sophisticated replacement strategies – many decades.

        Nothing is good for this country that feed the growth of the gimme class, this bill does that in spades.

        You do not get it, they do not just want socialism, they want Communism where the government runs and owns everything.

        • ianw December 28, 2021 at 1:04 am #

          Why are economic stimulus bills equated to socialism/communism?

          These strategies have been used around the world for at least a century in times of stress (by both conservative and social-democratic administrations).

          John Maynard Keynes was hardly a commie – but he was a good economist.

    Hahahaha! Jo Jo McGhoul wants to put the covid19 debacle on the governors.

    “There is no federal solution to covid”. I guess medical tyranny isn’t testing well in the Democrat focus groups.

        Or they know that there is going to be complete USA lockdown á la Australia in the New Year.

        Interstate travel will be treated like international travel. Governors will be ruling tyranical states like monarchs.

        Sorry to rain on your parade, NO, but the USA is mere months behind Germany.

        Sad but True.

        —–

        Australia begged the World to care months ago. To no avail. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

        Game, set & match.

          Far as I am concerned, the Blues can sink into the ground, let the Red USA rise up.

          What exactly did Australia beg the world do months ago? Enquiring minds would like to know.

          Not so sure of that, OG. Federalism is how this gets stopped.

          The first thing they did here in Germany was trample on the constitution to block states from defying the WEF-controlled federal govt.

          • Alzaebo December 30, 2021 at 1:59 am #

            “Federalism” is such a confusing word, innit?

            Pain and fear is the only thing these people understand.

            The elites have not felt one sting.

            When bombs go off in a commoner’s square, they shrug. But when those bombs go off too near an elite’s place, the anarchists are suddenly deported without trial, the FLAN is sent to prison with 80 year sentences.

            (131 FLAN bombings in the US, and we never even heard of them!)

      He has finally realized that there is no solution to the Covid, humans may have finally met their match with Mother Nature.

      So, pass the buck. Guaranteed the Do Nothing-Make Excuses routine has just passed to phase two. The entire Democratic Party is putting their heads together to try to blame the GOP or even juicier DJT. Stand by for the largest bunch of lying in history.

    • ianw December 28, 2021 at 1:12 am #

      Hahahaha! [President Biden] wants to put the covid19 debacle on the governors. “There is no federal solution to covid”.

      Good grief … one day you’re raging against federal government over-reach vis-à-vis state powers and autonomy, and the next you’re saying the feds are abrogating their responsibility.

      Please make up your mind.

    The greatest and most powerful drive for humans is their avoidance of pain. Not just physical pain, but mental, emotional, and (especially) spiritual pain.

    People will often bring up contemporary mass marketing and hucksterism, which preys upon this primal fear by implanting images of isolation and death if we don’t buy their products, but that manipulative instantiation of the cruel axiom wasn’t in force until the completion of WWII. Credit cards were born to capitalize on fear’s putative anodyne: consumerism. The media’s relentless and monopolistic fear-porn is just a further, refined development of this story.

    But this fear of pain (or suffering, if you want to go with traditional Christian or Buddhist terminology) is reptilian. It’s what enabled life to survive in limited and hostile environments. The subsequent mammalian and logical brain centres have been imperative for humans to survive where other creatures have perished, but they’re newer and less dominant than what our smug progressivism would have most believe, especially with regards to the latest iteration, the “logical” brain.

    Survival. That’s all that matters. Except now, instead of the drive for procreation in order to perpetuate the species, survival is not so much the glories of sex, or even the flight-or-flight response to fearful stimuli, but the more ancient freeze response, which is directly from the lizard brain. Today, humans are petrified. Instead of fighting or placidly ignoring the propaganda, they’re cowering and/or hysterical.

    Ironic, that, coming from our “highly evolved” progressives.

    • Soul Forensics December 27, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

      *fight-or-flight response*

    • Soul Forensics December 27, 2021 at 5:45 pm #

      I lived fourteen years in a rural community. Interacted with bears, a few cougars, many deer, and coyotes.

      Aggressive animals: for best effectiveness, the freeze response is your friend (though it takes a lot of guts, so not a true and reptilian freeze adaptation) when attacked by a bear. When a cougar attacks, kick it in the head hard as you can.

      The logical brain comes in handy. Without it, deluded humans could kick the bear instead. Big mistake. (Unless you’ve got the right firearm, know how to use it, and get some amount of luck.) So we’re still lucky to have all brain centres. It’s how we use them, and when, that makes the difference.

          Stop showing yourself up, Karen-troll. Like I said, I don’t even fall for you trying to prove yourself a moron. You are a paid shill. No-one could be as stupid as you pretend to be.

          We’re still waiting for a few teensy-weensy refutations of Peter McCullough’s presentation, here:

          https://aapsonline.org/presentation-by-peter-mccullough-md-on-10-27-2021/

          And subsequent Q&A session immediately below the main presentation.

          C’mon, Karen-troll, you’ve ad hom-ed the man multiple times, so the inaccuracies in his data must be practically throwing themselves at you.

          Your call. Although it’s been your call for an age now and all we get is *crickets*.

          C’mon. Do it for Australia.

            I love the use of the royal plural … might be time to re-think that. You’re the only one chewing on that old bone – everyone else has sensibly moved on.

            Anyway – I think I formally advised you many weeks ago that I couldn’t find anything in the Peter McCullough presentation that was accurate and not controversial.

            Basically he makes medically dubious claims and he has been easily debunked.
