The phrases “controlled detonation” or “controlled burn” are
government lying propaganda to deceive safety is involved. BECOME INFORMED of
the truth!
Yesterday (2/26/23) I watched a video interview between the
Resistance Chicks and Mike Adams on the Brighteon Video format. Although I did
not actually hear the word “Depopulation” until the 20-minute mark, the video
smacks of a DEPOPULATION agenda that is evidenced from the probable intentional
derailment of a train near East Palestine Ohio. The derailed train led to a “BURN”
of the toxic chemicals hauled by the train that actually released a toxic mushroom
cloud releasing toxic dioxins in the atmosphere, soil and water. THE VIDEO
after a bit of source information below.
Our government is soooooooo corrupt on ALL LEVELS (Local,
State & Federal), that the government tells the exposed, “all is
well and safe”. AND YET sources not controlled by the government have a
differing analysis. Citizens News
has this story from 2/17/23:
East Palestine train wreck may
have created largest dioxin plume in world history
The situation in East Palestine,
Ohio, is much worse than the media is letting on,
particularly as it pertains to the widespread release of chemical dioxins. The
14 some-odd tanker cars carrying vinyl chloride that were intentionally blown
up released a massive plume of these deadly chemicals, which were spread far
and wide, including up the eastern seaboard through Pennsylvania, New York and
beyond. Tens of millions of people stand to be affected by this dioxin release,
which by and large appears to be the most disastrous dioxin incident to have
ever occurred in world history. Water supplies, food crops, city parks, state
forests – all of them stand to become toxified with dioxins due to this
disaster. "Burning vinyl is the most serious source of dioxin in the
environment – whether from trash incinerators, house fires or chemical
spills," explained Eric Coppolino, writing for Planet Waves FM –
Chiron Return. "While vinyl chloride is a precursor chemical to making
PVC, any time chlorinated compounds burn there will be dioxins created. And
dioxin is a manufacturing byproduct of any manufacturing process involving
chlorine, from 'disinfectants' to the bleaching of paper. There was plenty of
dioxin in those tanker cars before they caught fire."
Dioxins are a hormonal toxin
that builds up in the food chain
One of the most concerning things
about dioxins is their persistence. They do not biodegrade and tend to remain
wherever they lodge themselves for years and years. (Related: The Agent Orange
released during the Vietnam War is still a problem in the areas where it was
spread.) Most people are unaware of what dioxins even are because the media
rarely talks about them. Back in the day, a small release of them led to the
closure of Times Beach, Mo., which was leveled and had its zip code removed
over a dioxin release much smaller than the one that just occurred in Ohio.
"It is one of the most serious environmental issues, but the background is
not known by nearly anyone (and that's partly why I have posted the history
below)," Coppolino wrote. So where do dioxins come from? They are
generated when chlorinated chemicals like vinyl chloride burn, explode or
degrade. They are never an end product but are rather a contaminant and
degradation byproduct. "They are directly related to PCBs, which are
considered dioxin-like compounds," Coppolino explained. "Dioxins were
the extremely toxic component in the Vietnam War-era defoliant Agent Orange. They
were at the Love Canal in Niagara Falls. They were the toxin involved in the
evacuation and dissolution of Times Beach, Missouri. They are the cause of
toxic shock syndrome from bleached paper tampons. "Dioxins are acute
toxins on one level. There will be a lot of dead fish and animals in the path
of the Ohio plume – and people will get very sick immediately.
Kids are extremely sensitive due to
their low body weight." Their persistence in the environment and hormonal
toxicity makes dioxins a very serious problem, especially when released at high
levels like what happened in Ohio. We have not even begun to see the effects of
what just occurred, which will manifest in the months and years to come as
animals, humans and nature suffer over time. "I guess a new disease is
going to be invented soon," one commenter wrote about how the
establishment will probably invent some new made-up disease to explain away all
the future cases of dioxin poisoning caused by the controlled explosion.
"And a new 'virus' will be invented, too. And new vaccines. And the shame.
People being intoxicated being shamed because they can 'infect' people."

Other News Stories the LYING GOVERNMENT would prefer your
ignorance:
The video you are about to watch informs about the toxic permanence
of dioxin and yet Mike Adams in the second half offers natural solutions to
offset dioxin toxicity.
If you are a Trump supporter (as I am), you will notice
Mike Adams has a critical tone for President Trump. The reason for the tone is
President Trump’s continued support for the mRNA danger-Jab. I concur with
the Adams criticism of Trump for his mRNA Jab promotion! BUT I also believe
Trump is the best monkey wrench against the Dem-Marxist tyranny currently
infecting America! So I’m a pick-and-choose which battles to fight kind-a-guy
for now.

I’m going to share two seemingly unrelated posts. One from Natural
News Telegram and the other from Elsa Schieder’s Substack page.
The Natural News Telegram post examines the medical
journal Lancet on Natural Immunity being better than the mRNA Jab. In the past
Lancet has been the go-to medical journal for the lying “follow-the-science”
propagandists. Lancet has had to endure several science repudiations tarnishing
its once heralded reputation. The
Print examined Lancet credibility in 2020 looking at the HCQ lies.
Annoyingly, Natural News on Telegram does not link to the Natural News website when great
information is posted. It’s annoying for me for the lack of context sourcing
leaving me to run searches. However on 2/17/23 The Defender
touched on the Lancet Natural Immunity admission under the title, “‘Finally’
The Lancet Acknowledges Natural Immunity Superior to mRNA COVID Vaccines”.
Also on the Natural News Telegram is information about the CDC admitting
the Jab provides little immunity against COVID while a Natural News
website post on the CDC and Natural Immunity is dated 2/3/23 under the title, “CDC
finally admits natural immunity is SUPERIOR to vaccines”.
Whew! Now that is a long title, but it should tempt the
reader to dwell on which “Cohort” they belong to. An interesting tidbit is the
Elsa post includes the embed of the James O’Keefe tweet explaining his side from
removed from Project Veritas (the non-profit he founded)
MORE THAN LIKELY due to Pfizer pressure for being exposed as the wicked-greedy
Big Pharma company that it is.The tweet
is essentially a 45-minute video. Gee, I wonder which “Cohort” the Project
Veritas board of directors submits to?
The posts might seem unrelated, but in the context of
brainwashing and disseminating bad science information to manage what people
believe as safe is the key.

The Lancet finally acknowledges that natural immunity is
far superior to mRNA covid “vaccination”
A new study published in The Lancet confirms that natural
immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is far superior to the artificial
“immunity” generated by the so-called “vaccines.”
The paper includes a systematic review and meta-analysis of
65 other studies conducted worldwide. All of them provide overwhelming support
for what many scientists and doctors have been saying about natural infection
versus synthetic injection.
According to the study’s funding, acquiring and recovering
from covid naturally provides strong, lasting protection against severe health
outcomes at a level “as high, if not higher” than the temporary-at-best
protection conferred by the experimental shots.
“The Lancet is finally acknowledging what doctors and
scientists have been gaslit for saying for years – that natural immunity
provides superior protection to experimental vaccines,” said Robert F. Kennedy
Jr., chairman and chief litigation counsel for Children’s Health Defense (CHD).
“Only the tsunami of propaganda and censorship from the
pharma / government biosecurity cartel and the controlled media persuaded the
public that Pfizer and Moderna were better at protecting the human immune
system than God and evolution.”
CDC now admits covid jab “immunity” barely lasts at all
before turning negative
Even when compared to the immunity allegedly provided by two
doses of mRNA (messenger RNA) from either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna, natural
immunity from infection lasts much longer and provides much better protection,
the study found.
Natural immunity, the researchers found, was at least 88.9
percent effective against severe disease, hospitalization, and death for all
covid “variants” 10 months after infection. It also provides 78.6 percent
protection against reinfection for all variants except omicron BA.1, for which
only 45.3 percent protection occurs.
Back in October, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met to
discuss data on so-called “vaccine-acquired immunity,” which the authorities
have been touting all this time as preferable to natural immunity.
What the CDC found and discussed is that after two or even
three injections of a covid shot, jab-induced immunity drops to zero after just
six months before turning negative. Negative efficacy, just to clarify, means
one’s immune system is worse off, and is basically now attacking itself like
AIDS.
Even though all protection from reinfection wanes over time
to some degree, jab-induced protection is the worst kind of protection in that
it is not protection at all but rather a temporary bandage that destroys the
immune system in the end.
Amazingly, the new study was funded in part by the Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation. Its authors include Dr. Christopher Murray,
director of The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), which is
also funded by billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates.
IHME, by the way, was “largely responsible for the
notoriously exaggerated mortality calculations that overestimated COVID deaths
by 20-fold at the COVID pandemic’s outset,” according to Kennedy.
The study comes as some authorities in some areas mull
restricting people’s access to travel, venues, and even workplaces based on
their jab status. If the jabs do not even work, then how can anyone require
them as a condition of living (not that any form of compulsory medicine is
legitimate, no matter how “effective” it supposedly is)?
“While framing this as an acknowledgment that natural
immunity confers protection, what it is also doing is providing tacit agreement
that government-imposed policies restricting travel are acceptable,” commented
Dr. Meryl Nash, an internist and epidemiologist, about the findings.
“It furthermore provides tacit approval of vaccine
passports.”
A cohort - a group of people with a shared characteristic.
3 COHORTS:
- ONE. Lacking the capacity for empathy: the PREDATOR cohort (approx
6%) (See Political Ponerology regarding the percentage, and as
for the name, see the Breggins’ The Global Predators);
- TWO. With the capacity for empathy and
mind-controlled by the PREDATOR cohort: the MIND-CONTROLLED cohort;
- THREE. With the capacity for empathy and awake to
what is going on: the AWAKE cohort, which can also be called the NORMAL cohort.
Note: some people call the MIND-CONTROLLED cohort, the
“normies.” This is a poor choice of term, because it is inaccurate - meaning,
false. These people are not normal. They believe a false narrative - in other
words, a pseudo-reality. Due to their belief in a pseudo-reality - that is, a
non-reality - they lack common sense which is a basis for morality. Instead
they have a paramorality - an immorality. This is absolutely not normal. One
could call them the ZOMBIE cohort, but that is both a bit derogatory, plus
these people may be very awake outside the mind-controlled areas. So I’m
staying with what, to the best of my awareness, is accurate. These people form
the MIND-CONTROLLED cohort.
As the PREDATOR cohort makes up approximately 6% of the
population, the AWAKE and the MIND-CONTROLLED together make up approximately
94%.
What percentage of the population is in the AWAKE and what
percentage is in the MIND-CONTROLLED cohort? The guesses I’ve heard: anywhere
from 10 to 35% of us are AWAKE. That makes the MIND-CONTROLLED cohort from 94-10=
84% to 94-35=59% of the population.
THE NEXT BIG QUESTION: WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE?
The PREDATOR Cohort. Here are characteristics, according
to Political Ponerology. They lack empathy. They love power. They prey
on everyone else. They manipulate, especially with so-called “narratives” -
which are actually deliberate pseudo-realities meant to entrap us. The
pseudo-realities connect to paramorality - anti-morality built on logical flaws
and unreal pseudo-realities. The intended outcome: whatever they want, which
definitely includes the deaths of millions (upon millions) of those outside
their cohort, and likely millions of those within their cohort.
Clearly they can not, lacking empathy, choose to feel
empathy, even if they should desire to.
What choices do they have?
And what choices do we have regarding them?
I will leave these questions for now.
What about the rest of us? What choices do we have?
As has often been noted, some of the MIND-CONTROLLED are
basically unreachable. About 50%, I have heard various times. So it does not
seem this 50% has any choice about whether to wake up.
As is also widely noted, many do wake up. More and more are
waking up.
The other 50% - there seem to be enormous differences in the
capacity to choose. I’ll leave that exploration for another time.
My big interest: the AWAKE. WHAT ARE OUR CHOICES?
The AWAKE cohort. We’re feel empathy and are awake to
a considerable extent of what’s going on - the “narratives” (pseudo-realities),
the paramorality (out with common sense and logic), the dangers and deaths
happening all around, the entrapment of so many of the people around us, who
have gone from everyday people to non-normals who have swallowed the toxic
“narratives” and toxic injections - spellbound and often physically
spell-damaged.
It’s not our choice.
We can’t choose to be part of the PREDATOR cohort if we have
empathy.
Plus, we can’t choose to belong to the MIND-CONTROLLED, the
NON-NORMALS who believe the pseudo-realities.
So. there we are. We’re at least somewhat awake, and are
often waking up to more and more of what’s going on.
WHAT CHOICES DO WE HAVE?
WE HAVE A HUGE CHOICE. WHAT WE DO WITH BEING AWAKE.
I’d say we have thousands of choices, many of
them tiny - daily choices - what to hear, what to think about, how to reach
out, what to do to protect ourselves as well as act as well as we can.
Many people are struggling to figure out what we can do,
beyond personal awareness, beyond sharing what we know with like-minded people,
and even beyond taking some steps for protection against looming food shortages
and social breakdown.
I say: keep going further toward a true
normal world, a world with common sense and caring, thinking, like-minded
people.
I personally love what I call hero stories - people
who keep choosing to do what they can. Here is James O’Keefe, formerly of
Project Veritas. I’d say, when I listen to him, I am hearing a hero speaking:
Since it’s already out there, here are my heartfelt remarks to my staff this morning.
I need to make clear I have not resigned from the company, Project Veritas, I founded 13 years ago. I was stripped of my position as CEO and Chairman.
This is not everyone’s choice. But it does show what
choosing, over and over, to be on the side of truth and justice, can lead
someone to accomplish. As we know we will continue.
Anyway, I will leave to you to think, if you like, about
your choices, our choices.
Below, a bit on my choices.
__________________
MY CHOICE - TO KEEP GOING FURTHER.
A question I keep asking. Given who I am (thinker, explorer,
teacher, reacher, mentor, coach), what more can I contribute?
My choice has been to keep looking and writing and trying
and building.
I’ve had a blog since 2006, does interview series, changed
direction as I learned more, also kept going back to creative projects.
As some of you already know, there’s a project that
has drawn me for a long time, that I’ve been developing, and that I
have just recently brought into the world in a bigger way: AWAKE in
a World Gone “Woke.”
AWAKE in a World Gone “Woke” is a group for people
who are AWAKE.
It’s a combination support group, think tank, and
lift-off platform.
Why create such a group?
One thing most of us lack is ongoing group connection.
Potential benefits?With ongoing group
connection:
- We go further.
- We get more ideas - are nourished.
- We think of more we can do.
- We understand more.
- We may recognize more of where we’re stuck.
- And we have a home base from which to take action, evaluate, and take more
action.
- In short, we’re way stronger.
Here’s a bit of, not math, but psychological reality. One
plus one can equal much more than two. One match and one piece of
paper, for instance, can be the start of a fire (that needs kindling, logs, etc.).
If being part of such a group feels right for you, here’s
one option. Try it.
Today I’ve decided to share a series if videos that focus on
Technocracy Tyranny and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tyranny. Those videos are
from the Next
News Network and Bannon’s War Room
both Bitchute versions. (I’m using a Bitchute version of Banned.Video
above as a bit of an intro – forgive me their ad and understand everyone has
bills to pay.)
I guess it sounds too way out there for people to embrace
that Technocracy and the imposition of Artificial Intelligence is a clear and
present danger to lives individually and to the concept of American Liberty in
general. A post I presented on 2/19 had a disappointing amount if read-hits
which as of this typing is still a little less than a hundred: “Paul
Revere Might Warn, ‘The Terminator-AI is Coming!’” I might be a
lone wolf crying in the wilderness, but I found the information that post
threatening. The videos I am sharing are along the lines of that post:
As we navigate our way through the
uncertainty of this era, one person has come to lead the charge for full
government control. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World
Economic Forum, is advocating for a “Great Reset," and his latest suggestion
for governments to control their people is downright bone chilling to think
about.
As you might have noticed, some of these videos had their
version of pay-the-bills or sponsored ads. I TOO – as you do also – have to pay
the bills.
My wife Diana and I have joined a store which when products
are purchased we get a cut. Actually Diana is the business operator, I’m along

I wrote a little male’s view on the product. After that video, I’m including a
business video that should be informative for those who to join the store. I’m
including Diana’s contact and referral code info in case you want to manage
your Online Store.
This video highlighting Modere’s latest product line is all
over Youtube. I borrowed from a user (who in turn borrowed the video) that that
effectively highlights the PRODUCT BENEFITS of Modere’s Project 23 Menstrual
Formula.
I’ll be honest. I’m a 66 year old senior citizen male. So
you might ask, “What are you thinking hawking a woman’s menstrual cycle
product?”
Well, let me tell ya.
My wife and I came together as a Brady-Bunch family in 1990.
Between us we have 3 boys and two girls (ALL adults now). Imagine us males in
the family enduring the PMS cycle of wife/mom and two daughters/sisters. At times
it was brutal. You’d think these gals would at least PMS at the same time…BUT
NO. The long ago memory seems to dredge up PMS overlap – OUCH for males trying
to be understanding.
So I share this product that will definitely benefit the
gals but also should benefit the gentlemen with a wife, significant other,
sister or daughter. Just sayin’ … TAKE A LOOK! My REFERRAL CODE for

in excess mortality
ØThe

avoid making the same mistakes in future pandemics, medical crises must not be

At this point, the lies we've been told about COVID
countermeasures are so numerous, it would be easier to point to what was right
and correct than list what was wrong, because the "correct" list
would basically be blank.
Lockdowns, social distancing, school and business closures,
universal mask wearing, use of face shields and plastic barriers, travel
restrictions, the use of PCR tests to diagnose infection, the choice of
treatments and the safety and effectiveness of the COVID jabs — all of these
countermeasures were based on a combination of lies, fraud and/or willful
ignorance. As tweeted by journalist Abir Ballan, co-founder of the Think Twice
campaign:1
"Knowing whether you've
been lied to or not is very important for deciding whether you should be angry
or not … Turning a blind eye to the lies, won't make them go away. They
happened. You need to find the courage to face them."
Here's a review of what some of these strategies actually
accomplished, and why we must never allow unilateral edicts by people with
emergency powers to dictate pandemic responses ever again.
Lockdowns Flattened Economies
As reported by Pandemics Data & Analysis (PANDA)2 —
a multidisciplinary initiative that seeks to inform policy — universal
lockdowns have never before been used as a pandemic prevention measure, and for
good reason. It doesn't work. To prevent spread of infection, you isolate those
who are actually sick. That's how it has always been done.
Healthy people cannot spread infection, so there's no reason
to isolate them. This is about as common sense as things get, yet the World
Health Organization opted to take a page from China, which locked down Wuhan as
the infection began to spread.
Lockdowns were, however, a central feature in the
Rockefeller Foundation's "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and
International Development" report,3 published in May 2010,
in which they lay out an international "Lockstep" scenario that
details their proposed response to a lethal pandemic.
"After many months of
sustained lockdowns throughout the world, we now have empirical evidence
demonstrating that they are not only ineffective, but cause greater harm than
they seek to prevent and increase mortality. Applying a cure that is worse than
the diseases is perhaps the worst manifestation of the mishandling of the
COVID-19 pandemic," PANDA reports.4
As one would expect, shutting down businesses for extended
periods of time leads to businesses going under for impaired cash flow from
lack of revenue. There was never any rhyme or reason for shutting down small
businesses while keeping large box stores open, other than to shift wealth away
from small, private business owners to multinational corporations.
By September 2020,5 163,735 U.S. businesses
had closed their doors, and of those, 60% — a total of 97,966 businesses — were
permanent closures.6 As noted by attorney Michael P. Senger,7 "That
'leaders' across the world transformed into tyrants, believing they had a right
to bankrupt their subjects, is the core evil of lockdown."
Indeed, far from being the great equalizer, COVID-19 has
been the greatest wealth transfer scheme in the history of the world. Indeed,
you may as well call it what it is: grand-scale asset theft from the poor and
middle class.
Lockdowns Had No Effect on Infection Rates or Mortality
Meanwhile, study after study8,9,10 has
confirmed that lockdowns had no beneficial impact on infection rates and COVID
mortality. Among them, a study from Northern Jutland, which concluded that:11
"… while infection levels
decreased, they did so before lockdown was effective, and infection numbers
also decreased in neighbor municipalities without mandates. Direct spill-over
to neighbor municipalities or the simultaneous mass testing do not explain this.
Instead, control of infection
pockets possibly together with voluntary social behavior was apparently
effective before the mandate, explaining why the infection decline occurred
before and in both the mandated and non-mandated areas."
An August 2020 analysis12 of COVID-19
surveillance data from the top 50 countries in terms of reported cases also
concluded that border closures, lockdowns and wide-spread testing had no impact
on COVID-19 mortality per million people. Another paper13 published
in 2021 found lockdowns were actually associated with increases in excess
mortality.
A 2022 literature review and meta-analysis14 of
the effects of lockdowns also concluded that "lockdowns have had little to
no effect on COVID-19 mortality." They have, however, "imposed
enormous economic and social costs." As noted by the authors of this
review, "lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a
pandemic policy instrument."
Modeling Versus Empirical Data
Time and again, we've seen how statistical modeling has
failed, making wildly inaccurate predictions about risk. This holds true for
lockdown models as well. According to Oliver Robinson, a psychology professor
at the University of Greenwich:15,16
"Lockdowns are associated
with reduced mortality in epidemiological modelling studies but not in studies
based on empirical data from the Covid-19 pandemic … Lockdowns may exacerbate
stressors such as social isolation and unemployment that have been shown to be
strong predictors of falling ill if exposed to a respiratory virus …
Economic level of analysis
points to the possibility that deaths associated with economic harms or
underfunding of other health issues may outweigh the deaths that lockdowns
save, and that the extremely high financial cost of lockdowns may have negative
implications for overall population health in terms of diminished resources for
treating other conditions."
Effects of Lockdowns
Studies looking at the social effects of lockdowns have also
come to the following conclusions:
·The
unemployment shock, being two to five times greater than the typical
unemployment shock, will likely significantly increase mortality rates and
lower life expectancy.17 The authors estimate unemployment
shock alone will translate into an additional 0.8 million premature deaths
·Social
isolation has led to a significant increase in mental health problems,
addiction disorders, overdose deaths, child abuse and domestic violence rates18 and
suicide ideation rates among youth19
·Lockdowns
are at least five to 10 times more harmful to public health in terms of
well-being years than COVID-19 itself20
·In
Israel, an estimated 500,000 life-years have been lost to lockdowns due to
income losses alone21
·In
England, an estimated 59, 204 to 63, 229 years of life will be lost to four
common cancers due to delays in diagnosis during lockdowns22
The Social Distancing Farce
The evidence behind 6-foot social distancing rules were
equally nonexistent. As noted by Ballan in a January 26, 2023, tweet, all
social distancing did — and was intended to do — was to make people afraid of
each other:23
"The virus spreads through
aerosols in the air. It doesn't matter where you stand. Stickers on the floor
don't protect you. They just break social cohesion."
Universal masking mandates were also unfounded. As noted by
PANDA:24
"There is very limited
research on the effectiveness of masks or the potential harms of their
prolonged use in the general public. The available literature indicates little
scientific evidence that mask-wearing among the general public curbs disease
spread."
Remarkably, the absence of evidence to support mask wearing
for infection control were confirmed from the very beginning by the same
agencies and organizations that ended up recommending and/or mandating
universal mask wearing.
For example, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
policy review paper, published in May 2020, concluded that there's "no
evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing
laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected
persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their
susceptibility."25
Similarly, interim guidance by the World Health
Organization, published in June 2020, stated: "At present, there is no
direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the
community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the
community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including
COVID-19."26
A systemic review by the Cochrane Library, published in
November 2020, supported these views, noting that:27
"The pooled results of
randomized trials did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection
with the use of medical/surgical masks during seasonal influenza. There were no
clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with
N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce
respiratory viral infection."
The Cochrane Library's 2023 update, which included 11 new
studies, including some COVID-specific investigations, confirmed there still
was no evidence to support universal masking recommendations.28,29,30,31,32
A randomized controlled trial33 in Denmark,
which looked at COVID-19 infection specifically, also concluded there was
"a non-statistically significant difference between two groups of participants,
one requested to wear a mask, the other not wearing a mask," and that
masks were ineffective against virus-laden aerosols, as airborne viruses can
"penetrate or circumnavigate a face mask."
Similarly, a May 2020 study34 found no
difference in case rates between U.S. states that had mask mandates compared to
those that didn't, and a British survey35 of infection rates
among school children found "no evidence that face coverings, 2-metre
social distancing or stopping children mixing was associated with lower odds of
COVID-19 or cold infection rates in the school."
Mask Harms Revealed
On the other hand, we now have evidence showing that mask
wearing can cause harm, and again, some of this evidence comes from the WHO
itself. For example, in its December 2020 interim guidance on masks,36 the
WHO noted that mask disadvantages included "a false sense of
security," and that:
"Several studies have
demonstrated statistically significant deleterious effects [of masks] on
various cardiopulmonary physiologic parameters during mild to moderate exercise
in healthy subjects and in those with underlying respiratory diseases."
A German registry of reported effects among children found
68% experienced some sort of impairment, such as irritability, headache, poor
concentration, reduced happiness, reluctance to go to school, general malaise,
impaired learning and fatigue.37
Other investigations have revealed children are exposed to
potentially dangerous elevations in carbon dioxide when wearing a face mask,38 and
health care workers who wear masks for six or more hours have been found to be
at higher risk of respiratory infections due to mask contamination.39 A
dozen different volatile and potentially hazardous chemicals have also been
identified in medical masks.40
3 min video providing an easy
explanation of how the PCR test works and how so many people were unfairly
isolated as a result of false positive tests. The PCR test does not diagnose
infectiousness. False positive results inflate the number of cases and deaths
related to covid-19 as a result of misattribution.]
Using PCR tests to diagnose was also a complete scam,
as these types of tests cannot tell the difference between an active infection
and dead viral debris. Because of this, millions upon millions of healthy
people were forced into isolated for no reason.
The false positives were also used to artificially inflate
the number of cases and deaths, which were then used to instill fear in the
population and keep the pandemic going long after it was over. The short video
above details how the PCR test works and why it cannot be used as a diagnostic.
In March 2022, it was also revealed that at-home rapid
antigen test kits contain sodium azide, a chemical that can lower your blood
pressure and/or cause seizures. Health Canada reported the test kits were
improperly labeled, as they did not indicate the tests contained chemicals that
can cause unintended effects if accidentally ingested or spilled. I detailed
these findings in "Does Your At-Home COVID-19 Test Contain This Poison?"
Banning Early Treatment Was a Crime Against Humanity
As for the global treatment recommendations, they've been
nothing short of a crime against humanity. On the one hand, public health
experts insisted there was no viable early treatment, and on the other, they
rigged the system such that hospitals would only use the most harmful
treatments imaginable.
Meanwhile, frontline doctors were successfully treating
patients and keeping them out of the hospital with inexpensive and readily
available medicines such as hydroxychloroquine and zinc, and ivermectin.41 But
were they lauded for their ingenuity and dedication to saving lives? No, they
were "cancelled," censored, deplatformed, brought before medical
boards and fired from their jobs. No good deed has gone unpunished these past
three years.
Before 2020 was over, several highly successful early
treatment protocols had been developed, yet none were officially permitted to
be used. Among them:
Meanwhile, the treatments that became "standard of care"
at hospitals across the U.S. and elsewhere were demonstrably risky and harmful.
There's really no telling how many COVID patients hospitals have killed with
these protocols, but it's bound to be significant. Two of the most dangerous
treatments are ventilators and remdesivir.
By May 2020, it had already become apparent that the
standard practice of putting COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation with
ventilators was a death sentence,42 yet the practice continues
to this day. Data from various sources show anywhere from 50%43 to
86%44,45,46 of all ventilated COVID patients die. Considering
these data, hospitals are basically engaged in euthanasia, and they're doing it
because its profitable.
In fact, were it not for government financially
incentivizing a murderous protocol,47,48 countless lives would
have been spared. When everything is said and done, a COVID patient can be
"worth" as much as $250,000 — but for maximum payout, they have to
leave the hospital in a body bag.
“… the only way to avoid the
mistakes of the COVID-19 management in the future is to avoid managing any
future medical crisis by means of emergency powers. Emergency powers should be
used only in case of war. ~ Yanovskiy and Socol 2021”
If we know anything, it's that profit motives can make
people commit atrocious acts, and that certainly appears true when it comes to
COVID treatment. In the U.S., hospitals also LOST federal funding if they
failed or refused to administer remdesivir and/or ventilation, which further
incentivized them to go along with what amounts to malpractice at best, and
murder at worst.
They Lied about COVID Jab Safety and Effectiveness
Last but not least, they lied about the safety and
effectiveness of the COVID shots. Crucially, they do not stop transmission and
they do not prevent infection — the two things a real vaccine is supposed to
do.
What's worse, we now have evidence showing the shots
actually INCREASE your chances of getting infected, as well as your risk of
dying, be it from side effects or from breakthrough infection. The meme below
from the Think Twice campaign49 illustrates the findings of a
December 2022 study50 quite succinctly.
As noted by Konstantin Yanovskiy (Shomron Center for
Economic Policy Research) and Yehoshua Socol (Jerusalem College of Technology)
in a July 2021 paper in which they analyzed the effects of lockdown-based
crisis management:51
"It seems … that the only
way to avoid the mistakes of the COVID-19 management in the future is to avoid
managing any future medical crisis by means of emergency powers. Emergency
powers should be used only in case of war."
I couldn't agree more. Time and again, we witnessed how government
leaders misused and abused their emergency powers, proving once and for all
that such powers are the tools of tyrants and little more.
The COVID messaging came in early, hot — and most of all —
in stereo:
“This virus is deadly. Masks,
social distancing, and quarantining are critical to stemming the spread. Herd
immunity will be our salvation. The only way to achieve that is to lock everyone
in their homes and wait for safe-and-effective vaccines to save us.
Fortunately, pharma is on it!”
Three long years later, it turns out that masks not only
don’t work but can make us sicker. Social
distancing was a myth, pretty much pulled out of thin air.
Quarantining was an
unmitigated social, psychological, and economic disaster. And
despite sweeping admissions from both government officials and the
manufacturers themselves that the vaccines don’t stop infection or transmission
(i.e., they are not effective) and skyrocketing spikes in adverse reaction
reports (i.e., they are not safe), the relentless messaging hasn’t changed.
Would you like a
free apple fritter with your safe-and-effective vaccine?
Some of us — you might know us as anti-vaxxers, conspiracy
theorists, science deniers, or granny killers — found the whole setup sketchy
from the get-go. But as injuries and unanswered questions mount, our ranks are
growing by the day, thanks in part to folks like surf legend Kelly
Slater and Congresswoman Nancy Mace speaking out about their personal
experiences with vaccine injuries and loss.
Since COVID won’t be our last pandemic (Bill Gates said
so!), here are a few questions we all might want to ponder before the next wave
hits:
2. What’s an acceptable death
toll from any medication? Prior vaccine programs have been scrapped
after just a handful of casualties; in the notoriously underreported
VAERS system, the body count of the COVID so-called vaccines is
currently north of 34,000. Yes, thousand. When would be a
reasonable time to pump the brakes? We should have a number in mind. (Mine is
1.)
3. Shouldn’t there be some
health guidance if the government’s genuine concern is our collective
well-being? Obesity can complicate a host of medical conditions. So can
low levels of Vitamin D. Maybe let’s listen to the sort of health experts who
advise getting a smidgen of sunshine, forsaking a few processed foods, or
taking a brisk stroll the next time our immune systems are under attack?
4. Does the guidance being issued
make sense? During peak COVID hysteria, bars were deadly, but
restaurants were harmless. Six feet apart was nonnegotiable, unless you were on
a plane, or (seated) in one of the aforementioned restaurants, or separated
from your cashier by a flimsy sheet of plexiglass. Viral particles proliferated
in mom-and-pop shops but dropped dead in the doorways of Walmart and Costco.
Church services, concerts, and other mass gatherings were perilous, but violent
protests got the green light. If the
messaging makes no sense, can we all agree it’s okay to question
it?
7. Are our officials encouraging
scientific debate and the pooling of the highest and best data? Because
“this is our story and anyone who disagrees with it will be silenced, smeared,
and de-platformed” doesn’t exactly instill trust.
8. Are individual circumstances
and risk factors being considered? Should pregnant women, the
immune-compromised, the chemically sensitive, and the previously
vaccine-injured be poked with impunity? Is it logical to give the same dose to
a 400-pound linebacker and a wee ballerina, or the same dose to a six-month-old
preemie and a strapping kindergartener? If you’re not at risk of the disease
but the cure could harm you, shouldn’t you be able to refuse it? Maybe it’s
time to bring back, “ask your doctor if [this medication or treatment] is right
for you.”
9. Are there possible side effects? If
people were suffering strokes, going blind, losing limbs, and dropping dead
after being poked with a certain therapeutic, wouldn’t that be good information
to have? It’s called informed consent, and the absence of it is a criminal
offense. Just saying.
10. Are people being threatened,
coerced, or bribed with everything from pizza to pot (You missed
the Joints for Jabs campaign?) to sign up
for a supposedly safe, life-saving treatment? As the kids say, seems a
little ‘sus.’ Might be a good time to sit this round out.
There’s a saying: Trip me once, shame on you; trip me twice,
shame on me. Here’s hoping we’re all a bit wiser before Pandemic 2.0 rolls
around.

After almost three years of attempts towards medical
dictatorship, the pendulum at least appears to be swinging back. A Florida
grand jury is set to investigate misconduct surrounding Covid vaccine rollout.
Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, has appointed a grand
jury to look into any wrongdoing in connection with the distribution of
the covid mRNA
vaccinations. Investigations will look into vaccine safety claims made by
pharmaceutical firms and the CDC as well as the increased number of fatal
vaccine responses, including myocarditis. The announcement was delivered in a
virtual town hall meeting, and it received favorable feedback.
DeSantis highlights the scientific establishment’s moral
bankruptcy in the United States during the pandemic lockdowns, with the federal
government and several scientists reprimanding the general population for going
outside their homes (despite UV light from the sun being a natural sterilizer),
whilst also endorsing BLM protests in which thousands of people rioted on city
streets. In the instance of BLM, preventing the spread was not crucial, but it
was crucial when people were protesting the lockdowns or strolling on the
beach.
Despite Florida’s large population, DeSantis has always
opposed lockdowns and mandates. This policy contributed to demonstrating the
futility of lockdowns. If Florida (and other rebellious red states) could
remain open with no discernible increase in mortality when compared to blue
states, what was the purpose of the lockdowns and restrictions?
A tendency that contradicts the dominant narrative in the
media is becoming more popular among Americans. People are starting to doubt
the rationality of governmental directives, the assertions of snake-oil
salesmen like Anthony Fauci, and the CDC’s regulations. The mRNA vaccinations
are being questioned, which is something that should have been done before they
were even made available. This is quite significant. After almost three years
of attempts towards medical dictatorship, the pendulum at least appears to be
swinging back.
Republican lawmakers who are looking into the lab-leak
origin scenario want to learn more about whether NIAID or Fauci were involved
in the allocation of funding to EcoHealth. But, White House panicked as reporters asked Fauci
about COVID origins.
The duty of all citizens is to resist unconstitutional government
in a legal manner that is effective, and ideally does not put the citizen at
risk. I guarantee that all who read this paper can do their duty to resist
actions even under the “Color of Law”, and if you are harmed, it will be
because we are already in a Civil War!
Face it, most people are victims of a very effective
Communist education system and a Communist media (modeled after Adolf Hitler),
controlled by Enemies of the People. Pity these victims who are ignorant of
simple Economic and Constitutional facts. They will remain ignorant and loyal
Communists until faced with starvation. Lenin called them his “Useful Idiots”;
who else would support their own destruction?
Most people only have a vague idea of their true Enemy’s
identity. The Enemy of the people in the United States and indeed the world is
the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC), the wealthy families who control
the ‘woke’ corporations that bribe our government officials in both parties.
Since 2020, the top 1% got two-thirds of all new wealth. Their motto for the
rest of us is that “You will own nothing and be happy.”
Before you can RESIST Unconstitutional laws, Administrative
Laws and Presidential Executive Orders you must understand their
Jurisdiction…or lack of it.
1. Administrative laws and
regulations are written by un-elected bureaucrats with no authority to enact
legislation. Books are written on abuses of the “Administrative State” which is
responsible for much of our sad state of affairs.
2. Presidential Executive Orders
are binding on federal employees while at the job. Executive orders have no
authority over citizens in the states. Executive orders do have power over
people residing in DC, property owned by the government, the possessions and
territories of the United States. Executive orders must in all cases comply
with the Constitution (most don’t).
3. Constitutional Laws in
the states are THOSE FEW enacted by the legislature and signed by the president
that are Constitutionally authorized by the “Enumerated Powers”. Simply stated
these are Foreign Relations, Defense, Immigration, Commerce, Post Office,
Census, Courts, The Mint, Patents, Copyrights, etc. Unless you are
counterfeiting or an illegal Invader, it is hard to see many citizens violating
federal laws that are Constitutional. You can’t question the legality of these
enumerated departments.
4. Unconstitutional laws in
the states are passed by the legislature and signed by the president, but do
not comply with the “Enumerated Powers” so they have no legitimate authority in
the states. But they do have authority in DC, possessions and property owned by
the federal government. A majority of our laws are unconstitutional having no
legitimate jurisdiction in the states. Many of these laws are unconstitutional
usurpations of state powers to concentrate theft and money laundering in
Washington.
RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! Many
Americans have been prosecuted, are in prison or lost everything for violating
a “law” that is not a law. We can never forget the political prisoners of
January 6th who were denied all Constitutionally-protected rights and framed by
the FBI. The FBI does only two things well: the framing of citizens, and public
relations. The FBI must be abolished because it will be impossible to have a
Constitutional Republic as long as they exist.
The most corrupt and despicable people in the country are
our legislators who pass one unconstitutional law after the other to impoverish
citizens, use our money to enrich the Military Industrial complex with no-win
wars for profit, while killing millions of innocent people. Our state Governors
are just as corrupt because they allow the federal government to usurp state
powers for profit.
I want to make this clear. I am not advocating the use of
force against faux government authority even when it acts “Under the Color of
Law”. I am a firm advocate of peaceful resistance as the best way to overwhelm
the faux government so it can’t persecute us as it is now doing. I also
strongly believe that failure to RESIST will lead to Civil War, for I have no
faith in the court system and even less in the election process.
Many people, mostly women, both religious and not, do not
believe in self- defense with firearms, even knowing that for most people,
effective police protection does not exist. They don’t even realize that
“gun-free zones” are killing fields! I want to quote the following for these
future victims:
Luke 22:35-39
King James Version
35 And he said unto them, When I
sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they
said, Nothing.
36 Then said he unto them, But
now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that
hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
These are future victims who refuse to defend themselves
against criminals, and are ignoring the teaching of Jesus Christ and our
Founding Fathers. They live in a ‘utopia’ that doesn’t exist. This does not
directly relate to the subject-matter of this article, but it was too important
to ignore.
Paul Engel recently reported in newswithviews that there
were 108 federal agencies operating in the states, with only 12 of them
authorized by the Constitution and another 15 that may be Constitutional. This
is where it becomes obvious that most federal agencies and their related edicts
are unconstitutional usurpations of state powers!
Here are some obvious Unconstitutional Agencies for which
you could have conflicts. You should write all of them requesting proof of
Constitutional Jurisdiction (they have none!). If enough citizens question them
and expose them, you take away their faux power to govern.
1. Director Rochelle Walensky, Centers
for Disease Control, 291 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga 30329
2. Secretary Marty Walsh, Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210
3. Secretary Tom Vilsack, Department
of Agriculture, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Washington DC 20250
4. Secretary Xavier Becerra, Department
of Health and Human Services, 200 Independence Ave. SW, Washington DC 20201
5. Secretary Miguel Cardona, Department
of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington DC 20202
6. Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Department
of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave. SW, Washington DC 20585
7. Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Department
of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington DC 20003
8. Secretary Marcia Fudge, Department
of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th ST. SW, Washington DC 20410
9. Chairman Jerome Powell, Federal
Reserve Bank, 20th St. and Constitution Ave NW, Washington DC 20551
Remember that the Federal Government is forbidden in the
Constitution from exercising or supervising police powers in the states. Police
powers are defined as Health, Education, Welfare, Family Affairs, Police
Protection and damn near everything else. Legitimate powers of Federal
Government are very limited by “Enumerated Powers”.
If you are truly a Patriot, you can afford 9 stamps and the
time to send form letters to the Secretaries of each department. You should
never contact anyone but the Secretaries, or top official.
If a department initiates a (complaint) letter to you or
contact of a personal nature (not associated with this effort) respond with
identical form letter, but send it certified. If the secretary’s response does
not absolve you of their initial complaint, contact an attorney.
Every initial letter you send, regardless of circumstance,
should be identical to the letter in the addendum.
If enough Patriots get off their asses, send these 9 letters
and encourage others to do the same, it will have a powerful effect on the
usurpers ruling our country. Note that I gave you the addresses.
God Bless Our Constitutional Republic.

Re. Request for proof of Jurisdiction.
Dear Secretary Walsh,
This is a demand pursuant to federal law, Title 4 US Code,
Section 72,[1] and the Enumerated Powers set forth in Article 1 Section 8 of
the Constitution.
4 USC 72 clearly stipulates such power/authority must be
granted you and your agency pursuant to a law passed by Congress that complies
with the Enumerated powers of the Constitution. Therefore, again this is a
request for your written proof of said jurisdiction to exercise any and all
authority within the 50 states of the Union and upon the state citizens
therein.
I am aware of the legislative and Enumerated Powers
requirements for your department to have jurisdiction in the states, which I
find that you don’t now possess and can never have without an amendment to the
United States Constitution.
Jurisdiction, once challenged, requires jurisdiction to be
proven,[2] Your jurisdiction is hereby and herein “challenged”.
Realizing that your schedule is quite busy, I shall afford
you thirty (30 days), holidays excepted, to reply. If you require additional
time to reply, please request in writing to establish a record.
[2] “The law requires proof of jurisdiction to appear on the
record of the administrative agency and all administrative proceedings” [Hagans
v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528]
“… Federal jurisdiction cannot be assumed, but must be
clearly shown.”
