Sorry guys, but you definitely do not go far enough while just skimming the topic. They'd been prepping this for years and Trump's potential re-election made them pull the trigger a bit early imo. Therefore, they hadn't finalized their plans and products as they wished them to be which was to do as much harm as possible without setting alarm bells off and usher in mass mRNA products to at first gradually and then swiftly begin to eliminate most of the population while massively profiting off of their illnesses along the way. We are dealing with evil and psychopaths and they have no off switch.

Enlightening conversation. The capture of our health care system is so complete, even RFK, Jr. is challenged to turn the Titanic, but I am eternally grateful he is the boss of HHS. I so hope SCOTUS will correctly relegate Federal Judges to their own fiefdoms.

Sorry man. We are subjects to PREP Act. Further it just don't matter. No law except what a Federal judge says it is.

In June 2020 I was on a group phone call as the mayor of my township along with the NJ state elected officials, the county health officials, and all of the other mayors or their representatives in my county. We were told that a vaccine was going to be coming out by the end of the year and that as what we were called, "influencers", we were instructed to tell everyone we came in contact with to take the vaccine. When it was my turn to speak I informed these idiots that I was not qualified to give out medical advice and had not intention of doing as we were commanded. One other mayor supported my position, all the other were silent. It was clear to me upon being so instructed that our so called "leadership" were either incompetent or evil, or both. Never trust the government, they are always willing to sacrifice pawns.

The Plandemic was the excuse needed for proof of concept of a US totalitarian state. The sheeples' docile obedience was all the confirmation The Blob needs to plan another one. The next manufactured plague may be temporary, but the lockdown needn't be.

The ,gov post now seems to be more of an attack on the Biden admin decisions, which while true,still seems to be another misdirect to avoid the elephant in the room which is the PREP act and other legal issues which together still continue to subject us to tyranny. JT is right it does not go far enough. His was created in a lab yes, but whose lab? How much was created and released right here in the USA, for example a certain lab in Montana.

Consider that there was no virus. The flu magically disappeared in Winter 2020-21. The virus story provides rational for doing what was done, whether a lab leak or a natural occurence.

One has to wholeheartedly WANT truth to overcome one's attachment to the conventional myths and refuted claims of science and history. Intellect on its own will not to enough to acquire truth or refute falsehood and delusions. Daring is the necessary ingredient.

Offer two fake stories for those who trust the science, academia, media, and government awful shills. They will pick one to believe in and question neither. The infectious virus as cause of a specific contagious disease has NEVER been proven to exist having eschewed the scientific method in EVERY experiment.

The PURPOSE of the COV virus infection hoax, was to scare everyone into getting the injection of mRNA, which was the WEAPON. The virus was easily immobilized by a normal person's immune system. The mRNA inj. weapon encodes itself into one's DNA, so that their individual immune system weakens.

BUT as an added insult, every time these multiply vaccinated dummkopfs get any kind of sickness (particularly respiratory) and they cough and blow spew all over you, they're shedding those little 'spike proteins' into your respiratory orifice which have all the mRNA activity...because their cells make the crap like a pez dispenser.

This happened to me. I'm going on a year of having my immune system f'd up after someone, who was sick and proudly bragged of having 5 COV injs., standing near me, spattered spew in my face for 1/2 an hr. I ended up with shingles and it is still a problem.

I'm in medicine and observed the same thing, "Trump's body language", as James notes. My real shock was with what was coming out of Fauci's mouth, starting with his first address to the public: 'did he flunk basic immunology' and 'my word, this man is purposely confusing the public.' I had to stop watching those Fauci public addresses - and wondered WHO THE HECK IS advising DJT, a man who supposedly listens and makes his own decisions. The wimpiness of Trump after that was a wonderment to me. It's as if they took him out and the POTUS guy we were watching was an actor (others insist he was).

In October 2019 the PA state legislature voted and our Democrat governor signed into law mail-in voting and drop boxes. It was later upheld in our state's Supreme Court. I suspect that the change in our voting law was specifically designed as part of a larger plan to ensure Trump's loss in the 2020 election. The second half of the plan was the mass vaccination plan, a plan that would push a vaccine platform that the military and Big Pharma needed a reason to deploy. Covid, then, had a two-pronged objective.

We know everything you spoke of. It’s not new. If you took it you are fked … no way back. If you didn’t take it you are VERY VERY SMART.

The war between evil and good is real. It’s happening constantly. God said essentially YOURE NOT IN CHARGE OF MY WORLD.” And so He allowed the evil to happen to kill us with deceit a hallmark of evil. However evil will destroy itself in time because evil never knows when to stop.

Jeffrey is very articulate but you James are much more intelligent. When you said you caught on early it was a bioweapon and it was enough for you NOT to drink the cool aid.

But Jeffrey said he did trust them too much indicating he got the kill shot.

All in all I find the world is falling currently but slowing down…..and until God in His Divine Wisdom steps in, humans cannot resolve this level of evil .I believe Trump is the first step to clean up this disaster. He was and is a very important leader and part of the Divine plan to save the world according to what God desires. We are given free will to choose. Let’s hope the survivors of this killing campaign will Choose to follow goodness honesty and have the courage to destroy evil wherever it hides.

Jim you made a comment about Trump’s body language. I had noticed it too. He’s a very positive guy. It was only one of the couple times I knew he was down. The other was shortly after J6.

Good reminder from Tucker about how they bullied the pharmacies.

Your latest interview--excellent as usual--brought these things to mind.

COVID was not only evil, it was and is evil beyond imagination:

1. There is no actual street/lab/critter COVID virus. The lab leak of a bioweapon virus just serves to keep the public tuned in and scared of viruses. COVID-19 is an in-silico fabrication to create fake vaccines. https://www.asifthinkingmatters.com/blog/evidence-that-a-real-covid-19-virus-does-not-exist

2. No Koch's postulate experiments were ever done using an isolated C19 virus (which doesn't exist) to prove pathogenicity.

3. There is no reliable test for it. The common PCR test gives false positives. This test drove the entire plandemic. https://www.asifthinkingmatters.com/blog/the-covid-elephant-in-the-room

4. There are no deaths from COVID nor pathognomonic signs, symptoms, or autopsy features of the disease.

5. The flu, COVID vaccines, and about every other illness or injury were rebranded COVID. https://www.asifthinkingmatters.com/blog/no-covid-19-deaths-lots-of-deaths-from-guess-what

JHK - the last couple of podcasts have been a great way to catch up on the current .gov fustercluck of the Plandemic, and what next may be coming down the pike. Thanks! As for Trump having his hands tied by the rogue judges, I'm surprised the fact that CONgress didn't come up as completely failing in their mission. They are supposed to make policy through legislation, and the executive branch is supposed to enforce those laws. Instead, all we've gotten for meaningful change the last 25 years are racketeering crimes, like the Patriot and "Affordable Care" acts. Thumbs in the eye.

I would guess as frustration grows and Trump and company spin their wheels, calls will grow for a Constitutional Convention or Convention of States. Neither of those "nuclear" options isn't without grave risk, but I think they are the only peaceful ones we have left.

Every other viable and likely path appears to lead to Civil War or worse....

I've lived outside of the USA for many years. I know nothing about the person who made this video except it says he's a US Rep. I have not read much about 2025 thing. Could you address the video and the points he's raising? The Education Department has been dodgy for at least 30 years. So get rid of it seemed like a good idea. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LMsit4aJf/
