1 death from COVID, 2 from blood clots. Technically true, but a weird headline for USA Today.

More Australians Have Died From AstraZeneca-Related Clots Than Covid (USAT)

Australia’s top medical officer on Monday urged countrymen who have received an AstraZeneca COVID shot to “not delay” getting the second dose – even though the vaccine has been linked to more deaths than COVID in Australia this year. Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly, after a National Cabinet meeting, reiterated the benefits of vaccination and encouraged Australians to stay vigilant for symptoms of COVID-19. He told Australia’s ABC network that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine in combating COVID-19 “far outweighed” the risks of developing a very rare blood clotting syndrome. Two women in Australia have died from the blood clots. The only COVID fatality this year was an 80-year-old traveler who died in April after being infected overseas and diagnosed in hotel quarantine. Last week authorities recommended that the AstraZeneca vaccine be given only to people 60 or over; people 50-59 were encouraged to get the Pfizer vaccine instead.

Sen. Johnson: Media Suppress Information About Over 5,000 Vaccine Deaths (OAN)

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) highlighted reports of a rising number of deaths caused by coronavirus vaccines. He announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported thousands of deaths from side effects of experimental vaccines. The Republican senator argued Dr. Anthony Fauci and various media outlets have been turning a blind eye to warning signals from the Vaccine Adverse Event Warning System from the CDC, which has reported about 5,000 deaths. Johnson stressed there are safe and effective treatments for COVID-19, such as hydroxychloroquine, and Democrat calls for mass vaccination have been misleading.


“Over 1,700 within days zero, one and two of getting vaccinated. We have thousands of people who have permanent disabilities, 20,000 hospitalizations,” he expressed. “That, quite honestly, compares to less than 200 deaths per year in the entire 30 year history of the VAERS system with other vaccines.” Johnson went on to say Big Tech and mainstream media are still censoring the information about early treatments for COVID-19, which must be investigated. He argued that American people will continue to suffer the consequences of misleading information and the ignorance of leading health experts.

Lab Lies: A Conflict of Interest for Dr. Daszak (HE)

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been much debate about the origins, treatment and rushed vaccines. Many doctors have been interviewed and consulted, with varying opinions about the virus, research, and the best medicines on the market to help those afflicted with the virus. One such doctor is Peter Daszak, a zoologist and president of the Eco-Health Alliance, a group based in New York City. His bio on the site says that his company is a US-based organization that conducts research and outreach programs on global health, conservation and international development. Unfortunately, when he participated in a statement for the medical journal, The Lancet, with other medical professionals, he was not 100% forthcoming. There may have been some factors that swayed his professional opinions on the COVID-19 virus and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Now we know that EcoHealth gave over $600k in taxpayer dollars to The Wuhan Institute of Virology, and even more through grants. The NY Post and Vanity Fair both did reports about these connections, and discovered some troubling connections: The nonprofit, which says it’s “dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergency of disease,” has received as much as $15 million a year in grant money from various federal agencies, Vanity Fair said. EcoHealth has used those grants to fund controversial “gain-of-function” research — which can increase the infectiousness and virulence of viruses — at facilities that include the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to Vanity Fair.

The WIV received about $600,000 from a five-year, $3 million-plus grant that Vanity Fair said EcoHealth got from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Daszak was questioned in London about his visit to the Wuhan Lab in January of this year. Daszak was the only American to visit the lab with the World Health Organization. His statement regarding that trip VIA Vanity Fair: “…Daszak admitted that the group didn’t ask to inspect the WIV’s database of 22,000 virus samples and sequences, a decision he defended by saying that “a lot of this work has been conducted with EcoHealth Alliance,” Vanity Fair said.” Now, the Lancet, which is widely peer-reviewed, is making adjustments to the statement Daszak participated in so as to inform of his bias and influence. From the Lancet :

“In February 2020, 27 public health experts co-authored a Correspondence in The Lancet (“Statement in support of the scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of China combatting COVID-19”), supporting health professionals and physicians in China during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this letter, the authors declared no competing interests. Some readers have questioned the validity of this disclosure, particularly as it relates to one of the authors, Peter Daszak.”

A harmless variant?!

Vaccines Exhibit “Reduced Efficacy” Against “Delta” Variant: WHO Doctor (ZH)

As the mutant COVID-19 strain known as “Delta” picks up steam across Europe and the US, one of the WHO’s leading doctors has just expressed concern about recent research published in the Lancet showing that the first generation of COVID-19 vaccines aren’t as effective at protecting against “Delta”. Answering a question from a reporter during the organization’s regular Monday briefing in Geneva, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove said that there is data “showing a reduction in neutralization” for the Delta variant, but not as much as the “Beta” variant – better known as the mutant strain that was first discovered in South Africa. She continued on, noting that the first generation of vaccines are still highly effective:

“Having said that, these vaccines are still highly effective, they produce enough antibodies to protect against serious disease and death. While we are seeing some reduced efficacy, they are still effective at preventing severe disease and death including against the delta variant.” Ultimately, the WHO needs to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible – which is the goal of Covax, the WHO’s program to vaccinate the world – to give dangerous variants less opportunity to take root and spread. “The goal of Covax is that we need those who are most at risk to severe disease, and those who are most exposed, to receive those vaccines and to be protected,” Dr. Kerkhove said.

To learn more about vaccine efficacy, the WHO has been “working with a global network…to get these studies under way…and to look at real-world efficacy data as well.” New research is coming in “fast and furious” and WHO is doing everything it can to determine what’s relevant and what’s not. The agency remains vigilant, however, because they fear that over time a growing number of “double” or “triple” mutants could further erode the efficacy of the first generation of vaccines. What’s more, “there may be a time where we have a constellation of mutations that arise in a variant” that will cause vaccines to lose potency entirely.

The WHO Is NUTS (Dr. No)

The normal development process for drugs, including vaccines, includes pharmacokinetic (how a dug moves through the body) studies of biodistribution (where the drug, or vaccine, ends up in the body, and when). In the ordinary course of development, these pre-clinical animal studies are comprehensive and thorough, but in the case of covid vaccine development and approval, regulatory authorities lowered the bar considerably. The MHRA’s Reg 174 Information for Healthcare Professionals on Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, for example, drops the bar through the floor (“5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties Not applicable.”), while in its long and complicated lay summary of the vaccine it says “Pharmacokinetic studies have not been conducted with COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 and are generally not considered necessary to support the development and licensure of vaccine products…”.

The EMA (European Medicines Agency, Europe’s equivalent to our MHRA) is happily singing along on the same hymn sheet: “No traditional pharmacokinetic or biodistribution studies have been performed with the vaccine candidate BNT162b2”. Instead the regulators relied on studies that use surrogates for the vaccine. The results are not easy to find: those for biodistribution are buried deep in a Pfizer report submitted to the Japanese regulators in Japanese which defeats even google translate. [..] The surrogate used in the biodistribution study uses the same LNP (lipid nanoparticle) RNA technology as the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine, and there are no reasons to suppose its biodistribution is significantly different to the vaccine’s distribution, allowing it to pass muster for the vaccine, at least in the regulators’ eyes.

But we should apply a caveat. Animal studies are only an indication of how a drug will behave in humans, because different species handle drugs in different ways. Nonetheless, it is an indication, and furthermore, it is all we have. After giving a large dose (getting on for 500 times the normal vaccine dose per kilogram of body weight used in humans) of a radio-actively labelled version of the surrogate to rats, researchers turned off the lights, and watched, observing when and where the rats started to glow in the dark.

“..an extra 1.5 million children and young people will require mental health support..”

Lockdown Trauma Causing 5-Year-Olds to Suffer Panic Attacks (SN)

Children in the UK as young as five are suffering panic attacks and other psychological trauma as a result of COVID lockdowns, leaving 1.5 million kids in need of mental health treatment, according to a new report. NHS leaders say that the impact of repeated lockdowns has left children fearful of leaving their homes or meeting their friends amid an explosion of “locked-in trauma.” “Forecasts seen by this newspaper state that an extra 1.5 million children and young people will require mental health support “as a direct impact of the pandemic” during the next three to five years,” reports the Telegraph. “The calculations from the Centre for Mental Health, involving NHS economists, suggest demand will be as much as three times greater than the capacity of mental health services.”


One individual said that her daughter had a panic attack over a planned play date, while another parent said his 5-year-old was housebound and unable to go to school due to being traumatized by lockdown propaganda. With the NHS overwhelmed, child psychologist Maryhan Baker says demand for her services has doubled in recent months. “It’s going to get worse before it gets better. There are a lot of children who were maybe just a bit anxious before the pandemic presenting now with compulsions, eating disorders, self-harm and other control behaviours,” she said.

WHO To Establish First Vaccine Tech Transfer Hub In South Africa (F24)

South Africa will host the continent’s first Covid-19 vaccine production facility, as President Cyril Ramaphosa said Monday Africa now understood that doses would “never come” from elsewhere in time to save lives. Ramaphosa joined the World Health Organization (WHO) and French President Emmanuel Macron in announcing the new hub for Messenger RNA coronavirus vaccine technology. But as the project will take time to get off the ground, no vaccines are expected from it until next year. At tech transfer hubs, the technology is established at industrial scale, while interested manufacturers can receive training and any necessary licences to the technology.

“The ability to manufacture vaccines, medicines and other health-related commodities will help to put Africa on a path to self-determination,” Ramaphosa told a WHO virtual press conference via video-link. “It’s been shown now that we just cannot continue to rely on vaccines that are made outside of Africa because they never come. They never arrive on time and people continue to die.” The hub is seen by the Geneva-based WHO as a way to combat the vast inequality in access to vaccines between the world’s wealthiest and poorest nations. WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said it could take nine to 12 months before Covid-19 vaccines could be produced in South Africa using tested and approved processes.

Under the tech transfer hub system, the WHO and its partners bring in the production know-how, quality control and necessary licences to enable a rapid roll-out. At the South African hub, the bio-pharmaceutical company Biovac will act as developer; the Afrigen biotechnology firm will be the manufacturer; and a consortium of universities will provide the scientific know-how. Messenger RNA genetic technology — as used in the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus jabs — trains the body to reproduce spike proteins similar to those found on the coronavirus. When exposed to the real virus later, the body recognises the spike proteins and is able to fight them off. The WHO said it would “continue its assessment of potential mRNA technology donors and will launch subsequent calls for other technologies, such as viral vectors and proteins, in coming months”.

UK Crony Capitalism: They Didn’t Want To Reveal These Names

Good Law Project is now able to reveal the names of six more companies awarded PPE contracts through the controversial ’VIP’ fast-track lane for associates of ministers and advisers. These six firms landed nearly half a billion pounds of public contracts – all without competition – and were uncovered in documents prised from Government in the course of our litigation: Uniserve Limited is a logistics firm controlled by Iain Liddell. Prior to the pandemic the firm had no experience in supplying PPE, yet the firm landed a staggering £300m+ in PPE contracts from the DHSC and an eye watering £572m deal to provide freight services for the supply of PPE. The company shares the same address as Cabinet Minister Julia Lopez MP and is based in her constituency. Here they are together.

Draeger Safety UK Ltd which is a subsidiary of the Germany-based Draeger AG, landed a direct award contract in July 2020 to supply FFP3 masks valued at £87m. Urathon Europe Limited, a Wiltshire based supplier of wheelchair accessories, was handed two contracts worth £74m to supply face masks. Correspondence released during our recent PPE hearing revealed the Urathon contracts were ‘escalated through VIP Channel’. First Aid For Sport Limited, SanaClis, and Global United Trading and Sourcing PTE Ltd were awarded contracts from the DHSC worth a combined total of £28.6m.

The six companies revealed here are in addition to the six other ‘VIPs’ previously revealed by Good Law Project. In April we revealed documents showing P14 Medical, Luxe Lifestyle, and Meller Designs were fast-tracked down the ‘VIP’ route alongside Pestfix and Ayanda. P14 Medical, run by a Tory donor and ex-Tory councillor, was awarded £276m in PPE contracts. Meller Designs, run by another large Tory donor, David Meller, won more than £160m of PPE contracts. Luxe Lifestyle, a tiny recently-formed company with no staffand no experience in buying and selling PPE, was awarded a contract worth £26m after being referred to the VIP lane by an MP. This followed our scoop last December that Government had handed PPE Medpro, a firm linked to an associate of a Conservative peer with mystery investors, £200m of PPE contracts via the ‘high-priority lane.’

“Xi is following The Art of War to the letter so far.”

Thinking Out Loud (Kunstler)

While all that is cooking on one front burner, we also have the case of the US equity markets burbling away at bubblicious highs on another burner, and therefore primed for a nauseating boil-over. Would a new and lethal government scandal supply the few extra therms for that? And by scandal, I mean something more like a broad loss of legitimacy and paralysis of the “Joe Biden” government. Also, how would a market train-wreck affect the credit markets? The US dollar? Whatever is left of the on-the-ground economy? Let’s just say it sure won’t act as a tonic for any of that; more like a slug of ethylene glycol. So now we’re talking about a simultaneous government crisis and financial crisis.

Now, consider what might happen in the fall if a potent new strain, or “third wave,” of Covid-19 virus wafts across America. We’ve already seen speculation in the medical media that the residual action of mRNA “vaccines,” if exposed to yet another novel coronavirus, might tend to whack-out the immune response of those who got vaxed, killing them, as well as killing a new cohort of victims among the unvaxed, adding up to many millions of dead Americans. How would the country manage any of this along with a twin crisis of economy and government? We couldn’t even manage the pandemic when our institutions were supposedly still functioning. And now, consider what might happen if China decides this is a good time to gain control of Taiwan (and the world’s leading chip manufacturers). A savvy friend of the blog writes:

“They’ll hit Taiwan, Guam, Vietnam, South Korea, Philippines, Australia. Iran would move to secure the overland route from China to Africa. The Israeli/Saudi coalition could stop Iran but only if China didn’t help Iran. (Iran/China are far ahead of us in drone swarm warfare.) China could overrun all of it in a matter of weeks and establish a deep defensive perimeter before we could effectively respond. More importantly they’ll hit our infrastructure so hard we’ll have a hard time hitting back effectively for years. Last year pretty much exposed our weakness; now they’ll move to exploit it. They’ll not wait till 2030, as our fearless leaders are touting, otherwise we might have time to mend our ways. Sun Tzu dictates they act now. My bet is they follow his guidance. It is the one area they are most predictable. Xi is following The Art of War to the letter so far.”

Is bitcoin truly uncensorable?

Julian Assange’s Continued Imprisonment Is A Test For Bitcoin’s Values (F.)

When Wikileaks first emerged, it represented an affinity with another emerging community: bitcoin. Julian Assange had spoken at length about the Cypherpunks, the early 90s movement that sought to enact change through code and the laws of cryptography. This included experiments with early versions of digital money. So it was a natural fit for Wikileaks to use bitcoin due to its uncensorable nature, with Assange once commenting that “bitcoin is the real Occupy Wall Street”. The threat model for Wikileaks was simple and yet devastatingly powerful: the most powerful state collective in the world was likely to go after them eventually, if not now, then sometime in the future.

This included not only the “rogue’s gallery” Assange described in a 2010 speech to the Oslo Freedom Forum (states such as North Korea, Iran and the People’s Republic of China), but also the states that controlled the financial and trade apparatus that ran the world’s financial system, one where deviation and dissent was routinely punished with sanctions and exclusion. Even as early as 2010, Assange expressed a desire to wrestle with censorship in the West, including in “common law” societies that “prided” themselves on fundamental freedoms and Enlightenment ideals.

[..] I sat down and spoke with Gabriel Shipton, Julian Assange’s half-brother, to discuss the case and what is happening with it. He has recently been active in publishing articles describing the effects Assange’s imprisonment can have broadly when it comes to the Internet and press freedoms, and specifically when it comes to bitcoin. One of the first things he commented on was Assange’s continued belief in bitcoin, his love for a tool that made it possible to do his work. The way he thought about cryptography fighting the inevitable centralization of repression made his thought process a natural complement and extension of bitcoin’s fight to remake classical economic and financial systems.

People who support bitcoin should be concerned about Assange’s imprisonment not only because it reflects the betrayal of bitcoin’s ideals in the specific case of Assange — states tying themselves into pretzel knots in order to undermine a non-violent disseminator of information — it also makes vulnerable the principles of true transaction neutrality that underpin bitcoin, creating the most pressing version of the “wrench attack”. If you cannot go after the system, you must go after the person. Dissidents around the world are using bitcoin now: some are using it to avoid censorship in Nigeria by the ruling economic elites against police brutality protests that have involved the murder of civilians by the ruling class. People in Belarus are accepting payment in order to defy the government, which has tried to crush protests with force. Hong Kong Free Press, a bastion of pro-democracy views in a Hong Kong that is seeking to crush journalists through weaponization of the financial system, accepts bitcoin.

The point isn’t trying to determine whether or not any of these individual causes is more worthy or not, or which ones align with our geopolitical views. The point is to acknowledge that all of them are only possible if they are branches stemming from the same uncensorable tree.

    Yesterday, somebody asked about megnetism:

    “Superparamagnetic nanoparticle delivery of DNA vaccine”

    The efficiency of delivery of DNA vaccines is often relatively low compared to protein vaccines. The use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to deliver genes via magnetofection shows promise in improving the efficiency of gene delivery both in vitro and in vivo.

    The machine age aesthetic that comes through his paintings, the unforgiving light, the slight awkwardness and total isolation of the figures,even when in groups–gotta love Hopper for capturing the underlying psychological spirit of an age.

    I will say once more, the tendency to overhype the vaccine dangers without solid information is counterproductive. Yes, some of the reports are alarming. I certainly hope the vaccines are not ticking time bombs, since just about everyone I know and care about has gotten themselves jabbed.

    One Covid death in Australia all year? Come on. If that is true, it certainly makes a good case for lockdowns.

    If the variants are as harmless as the graphic info in that video, it would seem they are being used not only as further scare tactic, but to get the vaxxed even more angry toward the non-vaxxed–“your refusal to submit to this experiment is making the virus more deadly!”

    I see potential evidence of this in world of energy, as well. This idea that big oil companies are being hijacked by green energy “activists” –give me a break. How about the oil companies are not making enough money to look for more oil (and they know the diminishing returns on that game at this point), they never made money on the shale oil. When oil prices shoot up, when there are lines at the pump, now they can point to the “activists.”

    Foolishly, I keep cruising over to the NYT to see some acknowledgement of any of the information we talk about here. But even the Fauci stuff has gone away. That is the scariest thing, that so much, even if it sees the light, gets ignored and goes away. I wonder if the Chinese spy guy Jim K. writes about will get Epsteined?

    Weird how “lumber” suddenly plummets 40%. That was just a natural correction in the free market that happened overnight, right? Leading to my favorite idiot, Paul Krugman, proclaiming “The Week Inflation Panic Died.” You go Paul. I’m more inclined to go with Chris Martenson’s forecast of an oil crunch whammy in the near future. (Can’t read the NYT Krugman piece, behind paywall. Saves me aggravation.)

    Talking with a couple of guys while loading a piece of auction furniture into a truck yesterday, someone mentioned the Chinese had stockpiled copper and just released a bunch, affecting that price. Haven’t looked into that. Again, where does this info come from, and why?

    WHO says:

    Children should not be vaccinated for the moment.

    There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Children and adolescents tend to have milder disease compared to adults. However, children should continue to have the recommended childhood vaccines.

    Build Back Never has a picture of the gardener picking black-eyed peas Sunday morning, by the harvested bean patch, just replanted with winter squash and banana plants, including 2 dwarf Namwah (Hi V. Arnold)

    Note: “Build Back Better World” is now B3W Pepe Escobar has the NWO horse-race story:
    ​ ​As for the threats from China – South China Sea, Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific overall – it was up to the G7 to come up with a plan.
    ​ ​Enter “green”, “inclusive” Build Back Better World (B3W), billed as the Western “alternative” to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). B3W respects “our values” – which clownish British PM Boris Johnson could not help describing as building infrastructure in a more “gender neutral” or “feminine” way – and, further on down the road, will remove goods produced with forced labor (code for Xinjiang) from supply chains.
    ​ ​The White House has its own B3W spin: that’s a “values-driven, high-standard, and transparent infrastructure partnership” which will be “mobilizing private-sector capital in four areas of focus – climate, health and health security, digital technology, and gender equality – with catalytic investments from our respective development institutions”
    ​ ​The initial “catalytic investments” for BW3 were estimated at $100 billion. No one knows how these funds will be coming from the “development institutions”.
    ​ ​Seasoned Global South observers already bet they will be essentially provided by IMF/World Bank “green” loans tied to private sector investment in selected emerging markets, with an eye on profit.
    ​ ​The White House is adamant that “B3W will be global in scope, from Latin America and the Caribbean to Africa and the Indo-Pacific”. Note the blatant attempt to match BRI’s reach.
    ​ ​All these “green” resources and new logistic chains financed by what will be a variant of Central Banks showering helicopter money would ultimately benefit G7 members, certainly not China.
    ​ ​And the “protector” of these new “green” geostrategic corridors will be – who else? – NATO. That’s the natural consequence of the “global reach” emphasized on the NATO 2030 agenda.
    https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/escobar-real-b3w-nato-agenda

    ​I personally think that none of these agendas will work well going forward, because all of the compensation mechanisms that modern industrial economy currently uses will decompensate at about the same time as oil prices spike above $100/bbl again, which impacts mining, shipping,farming, wages, profits, everything, Then even the Fed won’t be able to keep the Ponzi bubble blown.​ Confidence, meet Panic.

    Gail Tverberg, Our Finite World, Where Energy Modeling Goes Wrong
    Summary: The economy is approaching near-term collapse, not peak oil. The result is quite different.
    ​ ​The modeling that comes closest to being correct is that which underlies the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others. This modeling was based on physical quantities of resources, with no financial system whatsoever. The base model, shown here, indicates that limits would be reached a few years later than we actually seem to be reaching them. The dotted black line in Figure 1 indicates where I saw the world economy to be in January 2019, based on the limits we already seemed to be reaching at that time.​

    Have the Great Reset Technocrats Really Thought This Through? Evil: Between Depopulation & Neuralink
    ​ ​The only thing left to destroy in a world populated by elites alone, are other elites. It would seem that the desire to dominate others does not simply come to an end on its own.
    ​ ​With the UN World Food Program announcing that some 270 million people worldwide now face starvation, the ongoing debate about the real aims of the technocracy is profound. The question is whether their aim tends more towards major population reduction, or more towards a new type of slavery.
    ​ ​It appears that philosophical and long-term practical questions remain​s​ a mystery. We will argue that evil, not simply the influence of the base upon the superstructure, is at the core of this endeavor. We have defined evil as inflicting the highest degree of pain upon the greatest number of resisting subjects. In short, we have defined evil as sadism, inflicting evil because it brings satisfaction to those inflicting it.

    Have the Great Reset Technocrats Really Thought This Through? Evil: Between Depopulation & Neuralink

    ​CJ Hopkins, Manufacturing (New Normal) Reality
    ​ ​During the changeover from the old “reality” to the new “reality,” the society is torn apart. The old “reality” is being disassembled and the new one has not yet taken its place. It feels like madness, and, in a way, it is. For a time, the society is split in two, as the two “realities” battle it out for dominance. “Reality” being what it is (i.e., monolithic), this is a fight to the death. In the end, only one “reality” can prevail.
    ​ ​This is the crucial period for the totalitarian movement. It needs to negate the old “reality” in order to implement the new one, and it cannot do that with reason and facts, so it has to do it with fear and brute force. It needs to terrorize the majority of society into a state of mindless mass hysteria that can be turned against those resisting the new “reality.” It is not a matter of persuading or convincing people to accept the new “reality.” It’s more like how you drive a herd of cattle. You scare them enough to get them moving, then you steer them wherever you want them to go. The cattle do not know or understand where they are going. They are simply reacting to a physical stimulus. Facts and reason have nothing to do with it.​..​
    The pressure to conform to the new “reality” is already intense and it’s going to get worse as vaccination passes, public mask-wearing, periodic lockdowns, etc., become normalized. Those who don’t conform will be systematically demonized, socially and/or professionally ostracized, segregated, and otherwise punished. Our opinions will be censored. We will be “canceled,” deplatformed, demonitized, and otherwise silenced. Our views will be labeled “potentially harmful.” We will be accused of spreading “misinformation,” of being “far-right extremists,” “racists,” “anti-Semites,” “conspiracy theorists,” “anti-vaxxers,” “anti-global-capitalist violent domestic terrorists,” or just garden variety “sexual harassers,” or whatever they believe will damage us the most.
    T​his will happen in both the public and personal spheres. Not just governments, the media, and corporations, but your colleagues, friends, and family will do this. Strangers in shops and restaurants will do this. Most of them will not do it consciously. They will do it because your non-conformity represents an existential threat to them … a negation of their new “reality” and a reminder of the reality they surrendered in order to remain a “normal” person and avoid the punishments described above.
    ​ ​This is nothing new, of course. It is how “reality” is manufactured, not only in totalitarian systems, but in every organized social system. Those in power instrumentalize the masses to enforce conformity with their official ideology. Totalitarianism is just its most extreme and most dangerously paranoid and fanatical form.

    From Germs Geert paper – ( basically saying it’s better to let nature take it’s course … yawn. Dr D – I too want to sit by a pure stream and catch fish and eat and lay with my woman in the warm sun but spiders make webs that catch us trying to fly free)

    Or don’t they realize that the type of immune priming following natural Sars-CoV-2 infection is very different from the one that results from prophylactic immunization with S-based vaccines? It is difficult to imagine they would not comprehend why under conditions of natural viral infection and transmission during a pandemic, the chances for freshly infected, immunologically naïve or previously infected subjects to become re-infected on a background of suboptimal S-specific Abs are much lower than for vaccinated people to become exposed to Sars-CoV-2 while not being armed with a high enough titer of full-fledged S-specific Abs.

    In other words, if molecular epidemiologists would only realize that immune selection pressure exerted by S-directed Abs occurs much less frequently during a natural pandemic than in the course of mass vaccination campaigns, they would probably figure among the best placed scientists on earth to warn against the high likelihood for this virus to evolve immune evasion and, ultimately, to resist vaccinal nAbs as a result of mass vaccination. At any rate, they all recognize the need for careful systematic surveillance of the ongoing evolutionary immune escape, which currently translates in an enhanced expansion of variants comprising mutations that further converge as they continue to adapt to rising population immunity in general and S-specific Abs in particular (1).

    In response to that CNN article from yesterday’s comment about the Delta Scariant, I looked at coronvirus graphs for all the “bad-boy” states WRT vaccination that the article listed, both new cases and deaths. I saw nothing that would have jumped out at me as something to be concerned about.

    #77943

    It sounds like “leaky” vaccines are a problem, as though a gain-of-function experiment is being perpetrated in real time. I question that these vaccines work at all, except to produce variants. Vaccinated people get the disease; vaccinated people get it bad and die. The disease was already waning when they came out (a usual disease/vaccine scenario). New variants always come along but are not as nasty as the predecessor (as per Ivor Cummins), or is it that GvB is correct?
    Or is Jon Rappoport correct: it’s all BS; it’s a marketing campaign; they’ve repurposed the flu.
    What cannot be denied is that these “vaccines” are killing and maiming people in intolerably large numbers.
    So why the desperate rush to stab everyone? (The poor WHO, saying now that children under 18 should not be vaccinated, finds countries don’t listen to them: boo-WHO!)
    How aggressive will we unvaccinated people be if the “vaccines” become mandatory? It’s the survival of the species at stake, right?
    A while back I wondered if it would be okay that the survivors of a mass die-off were the ones who caused it. A bottleneck that only the nastiest of humans will squeeze through…
    “No honor among thieves” isn’t going to comfort me.

    Since in theory they are pressured from the outside, is the sea of EM fields we’re basking in enough to cause the apparent magnetism we see?

So…you think living inside a powerful foreign magnetic field forever might be disruptive to your body processes and health? Hmmmm. Nah: all good. Live in that MRI machine, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

    “Turkey’s Secret Plan to Invade Greece and Armenia”

    I talked about this back a bit, when monkey-face was talking New Ottoman Empire, but it’s like the least news-ever. EVERYBODY knows Turkey wants to invade and kill every Greek. That’s like the last thousand years. But since they have Europe’s largest army, the real question is: why haven’t they? And Armenia? I asked an Armenian about 1900, so? Fight back, don’t just get in the cattle cars. That’s what we have guns for, here in America. Buy them illegally if you have to, if you don’t want to die. They looked totally disoriented and confused. “Fight? You mean, not complain? Don’t be a victim as a core function of self-image? Huh?” I know they’re not all that bad and as I said the relative size is daunting. But Ireland destroyed England because they wouldn’t stop fighting. You can’t hold your happy colony if only you make it too expensive to bother. It’s like really, really simple. Am I making this up? We just got defeated by Afghanistan. Oh and guns don’t work?

But darn it, then I can fix my car with a screwdriver, my fridge will last 50 years and who wants that? Progress! Totally green when nothing works.

    “Julian Assange’s Continued Imprisonment Is a Test for Bitcoin’s Values (F.)”

    Is it uncensorable? Sort of, yes, same as Tide pods, silver, and $100 bills.(and guns) But since everyone who is lied to every minute of their born lives believes everything they’re told, they put all their BTC on the EXCHANGE instead of on the blockchain. That is, they had gold, then instead of trading it like free men, gave it all to Elon Musk and Goldman Sachs for safekeeping. “I trust you! Daddy loves meeeeee!!!!!” So the exchanges probably hypothecate (that is, make s—t up, counterfeit, steal, your words of choice) 300:1, 50,000:1 any actual bitcoin that exists. That is: they took something true, and made it all a lie. For a couple satoshis, not even 30 pieces. Those exchanges now set the PRICES – same scam as gold since 1971, where there’s no gold, only dollar prices – and like everywhere else on the planet, those market prices are FAKE. Totally made up, manipulated, false.

    …And they HAVE to be. In a fake system a single honest pricing market would tear it all apart and ruin every billionaire. EVERYONE wants fake. NO ONE wants true. You have the whole PLANET against any single honest word or price.

    And so in Bitcoin.

    So you COULD – though nobody does – transact on the Blockchain like you’re supposed to. But even then, the PRICE is set by the ESF and Sachs. But rigging takes real ammunition, just like rigging gold did. Even at 300, 1,000:1, or as many exchanges, notably recent ones in Canada, infinite, since they own NOTHING. So the price goes up because the ammunition – a couple BTC that can be spun like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice into thousands – is still actually scarce. They can’t fraud fast enough.

    And everyone loves the fraud. They’re happy as clams as the illegality, lies spread, and the old system eats the new la meme chose.

    Hey, I’m just telling you. You could have made $700 to $60,000. You still can. You can make it or not make it, eat or not eat. And they ARE shutting off banking as a first-resort go-to, what used to be the last-resort nuclear option. They’re using it every day, not just on real dangers like Wikileaks and Iran, but on Joe’s fork-truck-driver said something on YouTube, so let’s debank him for the lols. The reason can be fake as h—l. The faker the better. Fork-truck guy posted a meme that was Nancy Pelosi slowed down .25. Honest. I think it was CNN who doxed him and got him fired. Defending the little guy. So proud. So my point is, you’re going to need this. There’s nobody they won’t doxx, take offense at, make up lies about, and destroy. The point of power is POWER. Grinding people is its own joy, its own reward. The more innocent they are, the better it feels. You’re Next. Heck, if you look around, it’s you already, long since. Bitcoin is the Real Occupy. It doesn’t do everything, but it does some things.

    “to get the vaxxed even more angry toward the non-vaxxed–“your refusal to submit to this experiment is making the virus more deadly!”

    Yes, this is exactly the plan and path already. Who’s going to take out the millions of resisters? Well the other hoi-polloi of course! There’s only like 100 of us on top, there’s no way WE can do it. We just tell lies and watch you all kill each other. Hahaha! So fun! I could watch you idiots kill each other all day! Like any Zombie movie we’ve funded for 25 years. “Dey ain’t human I tells ya!” “Dey’s teh REDS.” So. Tired. Same thing every day. Same magic trick: “Look my thumb comes off”, works every day against men and women of extreme old age. Peekaboo!

    $100 billion. No one knows how these funds will be coming from the “development institutions”.

    Sure we do: they print money FROM the taxpayer—the poorest—and give them TO all our insider friends. That’s it. The whole scam. Not complicated at all.

    ““values-driven, high-standard, and transparent infrastructure partnership” If you hear language like this, it’s a con. Literally could not be easier.

    The modeling that comes closest to being correct is that which underlies the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth”

    I showed that before, where they printed out some straight-line projections on a dot-matrix and Wow! Everyone believed them. ‘Cause: Computer! High Priest of Progress on the Mountain! How about this: they WANT to do this, WANT “Limits to Growth” because scarcity causes high prices. “Competition is a Sin” — JD Rockefeller. If we find 50 years worth of oil like Cuba or Iran, we lock it up. If food comes online, we buy up the land and prevent it. If gold mines are found, they become national parks. If patents are created, we destroy them.

    C’mon, we’re creating a stage set here and you’re ruining it by pointing out it’s not the 40s with fedora hats and Packards, and outside the theatre 100 years of research has happened and we have real sci-fi. …And like the Hunger Games, WE have the sci-fi. Not you. You mine the coal with an axe. How else can we maintain control? If you had UFOs wouldn’t you zip over to Gate’s house and drop a watermelon on his roof? Who’d be safe then, with equality of power? We have to have “Limits to Growth”. It’s what keeps prices high and us in charge. The easiest scam to pull (in intel) is to make them see what they already believe.

    Am I kidding? Since I can triple food production in no time, with no effort, with no brains but what we’ve done for 1,000 years, I don’t think so. Does Iran’s oil not exist? Does Russia’s? I don’t think so. We’re KEEPING IT FROM YOU. I’m not going to believe after 100 years, we’re still using engines the same as 1880, and jet technology 100 years old.

    Knock it off. I mean, who buys this s–t?

    Raul quoted me:

    the tendency to overhype the vaccine dangers without solid information is counterproductive
    And responded:
    How about the tendency to underhype them? Isn’t that a much bigger factor?

    Two lies don’t make a truth. Especially when you are in the minority, going up against a mass media that is essentially a marketing arm for governments and big pharma, you must be very careful of hyperbole. As an analogy, it is the reason minorities must be a cut above in their comportment to have any chance of advancing in many business situations. To even have a shot at breaking through and getting across potentially life-saving information, the counter info must be as airtight as possible. Just is what it is right now.

    “your refusal to submit to this experiment is making the virus more deadly!”

    VanDen Bossche argues the exact opposite of that.

    Right. I was making up a quote expressing the illogical stance of your vaxxed individual.

    From what I can tell wading partway into Bossche, the problem arises mostly when people who are only partially vaccinated and have not yet developed a full immune response, come down with Covid. Also those vaxxed who have asymptomatic cases and shed. This leads to mutations that adapt to the single spike protein focus of the mRNA vaccines. Though I admit I may have it wrong. He needs Gail Tverberg to summarize in a couple of paragraphs with a chart or two.

    Building anything takes planning, determination, scarce resources, and follow through effort over a great time span. In other words building anything is hard work! The very qualities most politicians lack!

    ” Thermostats in Texas Homes Are Being Accessed Remotely and Turned Up Due to an Energy Shortage”

    Just another example of the technosphere being forced on us. I’ve been writing a weekly column for my local paper. Trying to subliminally bring these types of things to the paper’s readers. Here is an excerpt from last week’s column. It relates to the pressure being exerted to sign up for E-Zpass.

    Beaconomics column

    “Progress” Takes Its Toll
    Driving home with my brand new used car last fall, I experienced a moment of panic approaching the Newburgh Beacon Bridge toll plaza, as I suddenly remembered that the electric windows didn’t work. Good for security when parked, bad for handing over cash to the toll collector.
    Outside the box thinker that I am, as I rolled up it occurred to me that if I left a bit of room between my car and the toll booth, I could still open the door to hand over my fee for crossing the river.
    Yes, I’m an anti-E-ZPasser. (E-ZPass denier?) No particular reason, other than the mildly satisfying if futile resistance to another tentacle reaching for me from the blind yet all-seeing, omnipresent technosphere. Plus, I like exchanging pleasantries with the men and women who collect the tolls.

    Occupational hazards
    Can you imagine saying Hi, Thank you, Have a great day, eight hundred times a day? Talk about repetitive stress injuries. Yet not once over the years did I encounter anyone who felt it necessary to express a bad day vibe. Even the time I spent a couple of minutes frantically wedging my hand into the seats looking for change, the attitude was one of friendly patience. Ultimately I had to hand over my license and pull into the adjacent parking lot, then go into the administrative building to have the toll charged to my debit card.
    A few times I’ve arrived at the booth only to have the attendant wave me through, with the explanation that the stranger in the car ahead of me has paid my way. The last time it happened, I paused, then asked the toll collector to take the money in my already outstretched hand for the car behind me. He said No man, it’s okay, you go ahead, and I understood that he was telling me the universe does not look favorably upon paying it forward so directly. You need to fully accept the gift first.
    Sadly, the toll ritual will be coming to an end sometime in July, as the New York Bridge Authority phases out cash tolls on all the Hudson River crossings. Now if you don’t have E-ZPass there will be cameras that take a photo of your license and the computer it’s hooked into generates a bill and mails it out.

    Can’t have one without the other
    I asked a toll booth collector where she would be going. Unemployment, she answered. The toll collectors have a union, but it’s the Bridge Authority, and all the bridges are going toll-less. Some were being re-assigned temporarily to the Mid Hudson Bridge, but that won’t last long.
    When people find out I don’t have E-ZPass the reaction is generally Why not? You do know it’s cheaper, right? Ah, but if there weren’t stubborn people like me, it wouldn’t be, now would it? As my 11-year-old is always saying, You’re welcome. (He says this despite nobody having said Thank you.)

    Expensive complications

    As it turns out, non-working windows are not so uncommon. This week it happened twice that the driver directly in front of me opened the door to pay. Maybe it’s because electric windows can be expensive to fix. I like my windows like I like my transmissions—manual. Don’t get me started on those side mirror button controls. I suppose they are necessary for when your electric windows won’t go down….

    and on and so forth. It’s actually a bit of a long form column, averaging almost 1800 words a week! I need to use more photos.

    @ absolute: I can see where you’re coming from with the statement “to overhype the vaccine dangers without solid information is counterproductive”. But I’m not sure I understand what constitutes “over hype” considering many experts in the scientific/medical field are expressly stating the potential problems based on their knowledge and also citing studies that back up their concerns. And while it’s true that “two lies don’t make a truth”, the big problem at this point is that millions of people are being injected with a substance that has obvious immediate and short-term serious adverse effects, and of which the long-term effects are completely unknown and cannot be known at this time. So is it “over hype” for people to be shouting this concern as loudly as possible in the attempt to stop the experiment until accurate data is gathered and reviewed by independent parties? Is it over hype to scream bloody murder now that they’ve begun injecting children??

    I left out one important “over hype” question: Is it over hype when we are horrified by the dozens of new mRNA vaccines that are now in the vaccine development pipeline?

My best friend from the good old daze in the Wisconsin smallish town is the only one I know of who had to be hospitalized, and he is over 50, overweight, has never been very good at taking care of his health, and also has a lung disorder known as sarcoidosis that doctors don’t know how or why people get.

    The WHO “suddenly” saying children should not get vaccinated (while also saying children should continue to get vaccinated), is very suspicious! Why the sudden “narrative” shift?

    Are we getting a “new reality” manufactured for us???

    I will bet next we will see the media suddenly giving Trump credit, instead of joe, for the vaccines!

    Maybe we are being softened up for the media spewing “vaccines bad” narrative? Just like “Oramge Man Bad”!

    The vaccine was not brought in for Covid.
    Covid was brought in for the vaccine.

    Once you realise that everything else makes sense.

    When I link through Safari to the article, the article appears momentarily and then is replaced by this message: “Content cannot be displayed.” I am able to link to it and have it stay up with my Brave browser. Perhaps it’s the result of my Safari browser not being up to date… Or perhaps something more nefarious…

    I have been wondering about this magnetic thing with vaccinated folks. Is it the manifestation of an attempt by the vaccine manufacturers to keep the vaccine near the injection site? Is there any correlation between incidence/severity of vaccine reactions and whether or not a vaccinee has a magnetic spot near the injection site? Is this magnetofaction stuff a part of the vaccine cocktail that is proprietary company knowledge, and therefore not shared publicly? Is there any health related significance to having a magnetic spot in one’s body?

    Maybe if I buy a couple of neodymium magnets and give them to my kids they’ll try this experiment out on their vaccinated step-siblings at their dad’s house. I can’t quite bring myself to ask to try it out on vaccinated clients or friends at the nearby retirement community…they already find my vaccine refusal a little odd.

    Regarding Van der Bossche, I suppose if the second vaccine really isn’t necessary, that vaccinees develop mature Abs faster than he is hypothesizing. (Which doesn’t disprove what he is saying, it merely affects the timeline.). Also, he appears flummoxed as to why so many public health experts are pushing mass vaccination and flirting with boosters against variants…I have a simple explanation. Public officials’ means to wealth is by following the bidding of the industries they regulate. The corporate charters of these industries declare that their “prime directive’ is to increase shareholder profit. From the perspective of Big Pharma, the goal is not to stop or wipe out the pandemic, the goal is to milk the pandemic for as much profit as they can cram into their coffers before it fizzles out. Delaying the end of the pandemic, or vaccines that ultimately prolong the pandemic, (or suppressing treatments that do not generate shareholder profit,) serves to increase the profits of Big Pharma.

    (Occam’s razor is a beautiful thing.)

    Yes it is a problem to overhype. And I’m arguably overhype central. The problem is, when everything is false, reverses every other day, what is “hype”? You need to have a mild sense of the truth to estimate where “hype” begins. In a world where we see news like this — for the last 20 years, and where we’re running out of conspiracy theories because they’re all true — like wiretaps and Lab leaks — where everythign said in schools, news, by families, on Wikipedia or Webster’s are all lies, it beggars the question “what is hype”.

    Hype just means “A little further on than my present views.” Even as, with most of us, what’s normal, accepted Overton now was frothing straitjacket stuff only a few years ago. Yes, it’s difficult to know. We may be overhyping as much as under. But we do our best, and mostly IDENTIFY. What? The Truth. How? Because HYPE is pushed using very specific words, emotions, and hard sells. Truth as usual has no friends or bodyguards, no defenders, and speaks quietly in cautious, qualified tones.

    So those that ask questions are the Truth. Those that deny questions are the false, the hype. Actually super-easy. They don’t have to be right, they just have to be genuine, with integrity. We know which is which transparently right now.

    While I do hype, my point is to ask questions, get ideas, get outside of the Overton norms, and like wiretaps, Covid death rates, and back through “Weapons of Mass destruction and ties to Al-queda” ‘Mushroom clouds” while Brian Williams and HRC are being shot at by Russian snipers on the moon, like 80% of what I ask, or hype, eventually turns out to be true.

    Was there a tech bubble? Was subprime contained? Did the market crash? Did they foreclose every house, bail out every billionaire, and give it to them? Did a black — said to be Muslim — President drone 7 black and brown nations, starting with Egypt on Day 1? Was that all a scam, unfounded? Was the military budget blacked out to the tune of $40 trillion? Was that money in projects like underground we still deny? Did we have an SR-71? Do we have a space plane? Was Clapper wiretapping all Americans? Was Snowden right? Was the Syrian attack fake? Did mass shootings go up 50-fold the day of Biden’s inauguration? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes. All of those hyped, frothing conspiracy theories were totally true. So, so obvious, decades before admitted. Just like now. And everybody knew: all reporters, all ministers, every trader, repairman and contractor. Just like now.

    I’ll be right this time too, also so, so painfully obvious, but like I said last week, like the ’08 Crash, it WILL be as bad as we say, and it also WON’T be as bad as the headlines would make it seem. Whole revolutions happen while people still get up, go to work. Italy didn’t blink a sec, not the slightest notice while Europe — Serbia — was being shelled and snipered non-stop for years. 50 miles away. By the Americans. You could take a canoe.

    Your point is totally, totally true. And important, to be heard. To change minds. But what’s “hype” when both those things can happen at the same time, year after year?

    Prepare for this “modelled reality”

    https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/975909/S1182_SPI-M-O_Summary_of_modelling_of_easing_roadmap_step_2_restrictions.pdf
    SPI-M-O: Summary of further modelling of easing
    restrictions – Roadmap Step 2
    Date: 31st March 2021

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spi-m-o-summary-of-further-modelling-of-easing-restrictions-roadmap-step-2-31-march-2021
    This paper should be read alongside the accompanying modelling papers from SAGE 85:

    Imperial College London: Evaluating England’s Roadmap out of Lockdown, 30 March 2021

    University of Warwick: Road Map Scenarios and Sensitivity, 29 March 2021

    LSHTM: Interim roadmap assessment: prior to Step 2, 31 March 2021

    This updates earlier SPI-M-O statements on modelling on easing restrictions, that was tabled at SAGE 81 on 18 February 2021.

    Third COVID Wave Will Kill Or Hospitalize 60 To 70% People Who Took Both The Vaccine Doses Says Official UK Govt Model


    Third COVID Wave Will Kill Or Hospitalize 60 To 70% People Who Took Both The Vaccine Doses Says Official UK Govt Model
    As soon as the model was made public Fact-checkers tried to debunk and downplay the fact that 60 -70% of those who took 2 doses on the vaccines will dominate the third wave.

    https://fullfact.org/online/third-wave-model-vaccine/
    The government hasn’t said the vaccine will cause a third wave of deaths
    16 APRIL 2021
    By Grace Rahman
    Modelling suggests that when a third wave occurs, hospitalisations and deaths will mostly be in those who’ve been vaccinated. This is because so many vulnerable people will have been vaccinated by then, not because the vaccine is harming them.

    The person recording the video can be heard saying: “People need to read this: ‘The resurgence in both hospitalisations and deaths is dominated by those that have received two doses,’ read it, ‘of the vaccine, comprising around 60% and 70%’. So what they’re saying here is that the vaccine doesn’t work

    But an important piece of context follows, which is not mentioned in the video. The document then says: “This can be attributed to the high levels of uptake in the most at-risk age groups, such that immunisation failures account for more serious illness than unvaccinated individuals.”

    They can change each dose, put in Draino and not tell you. All perfectly legal.

    Funny. It already works kind of like Draino

    Hrm…
    I don’t see why we couldn’t maintain a more low-key, peer-to-peer internet despite lower energy.

    Desktop and laptop computers for most users have not needed to increase in computing power much at all in the last decade. It only takes so many resources to check email, browse the web, view and print PDFs and write a letter. Efficiency is up. Despite “planned obsolescence” my observation over the last 15 years doing break/fix work in IT is that our personal computing devices are actually more stable and lasting longer than they used to do. Most replacements happen because of envy for a new item, fear that something is breaking because it is old (when there is no indication of that happening,) new programs that are not backwards compatible (common with Android/iOS,) or frustration with slowness caused by junk programs that could be removed — the user believing that the slowness is caused by age, not junk software.

    IMHO, the IoT is (mostly) a ridiculous waste of time and resources. I don’t want my appliances spying on me, and in most cases I prefer to simply get up and flip a light switch rather than using my phone or voice activated house computer to do it for me. (Perhaps I would change my tune if I didn’t know that house computer was also serving as a permanent “bug” spying on me 24/7.). Is WiFi radio frequency less detrimental than having wires around me creating low level magnetic fields? I have no idea. But all these devices with built in WiFi certainly require more power than those not utilizing WiFi. (My brother gave my mom WiFi controlled light bulbs for Mother’s Day. They require WPA3 encryption. I’m going to have to reset up their wireless network from scratch, just so she can use the gift my brother gave her.,,of something she had no interest in getting for herself. Ridiculous.)
