Vast Majority Of Unvaccinated Americans Say They Won’t Be Getting Jabs (RT)

The Biden administration faces an uphill battle to meet its goals for Covid-19 vaccinations, as a newly released poll shows that 80% of American adults who haven’t yet recived the jab have no intention of doing so. The results of the Associated Press-NORC poll, which was released on Friday, revealed that 45% of unvaccinated respondents said they “definitely” wouldn’t be getting inoculated against the virus, with 35% indicating they “probably” wouldn’t do so. Only 19% of those who hadn’t been vaccinated intended to get the shots, and just 3% consider those plans definite. The responses suggest there is little room for growth in US vaccination rates, because 67% of participants had already received the jab, and only 1% of overall respondents said they would definitely get inoculated.

Just 5% said they would probably get vaccinated. Other unvaccinated Americans don’t plan to get jabbed, meaning around 73% is the apparent upside for the nation’s adult vaccination rate. President Joe Biden had aimed to have 70% of US adults vaccinated with at least their first dose by July 4, but fell short, at 67%. Nearly three weeks beyond his target date, some 69% of adults have received a Covid-19 shot, according to CDC data. Nearly 60% of adults are fully vaccinated, and the rate is 49% for the overall population. Perhaps more troubling for vaccine proponents is the declining rate of new vaccinations. After the rollout hit a one-day record of 4.6 million doses delivered on April 10, the daily pace has slowed to around 500,000 in recent weeks.

In Alabama, which ranks last in the nation, with just 34% of its population fully vaccinated, and only a trickle of residents rolling up their sleeves to get the shots, Governor Kay Ivey became so frustrated on Thursday that she said it’s “time to blame the unvaccinated folks” for rising Covid-19 infections. While 83% of Democrat adults have been vaccinated, according to the Associated Press-NORC poll, just 51% of Republicans have been. And Republicans are more skeptical that the vaccines will be effective against the highly infectious Delta variant of Covid-19, which has driven the country’s recent jump in new cases. The poll found that 58% of Republicans expect the vaccines to work well against new variants, while 81% of Democrats expressed confidence. Among unvaccinated Americans, 64% don’t trust the shots to prevent the spread of Delta.

Alabama Governor Declares ‘It’s Time To Blame The Unvaccinated For COVID’ (SN)

The governor of Alabama stated Thursday that it is “time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks” for rising cases of COVID in the state, adding that “These folks are choosing a horrible lifestyle of self-inflicted pain.” Governor Kay Ivey made the comments during a press briefing, declaring “Let’s be crystal clear about this issue. The new cases of Covid are because of unvaccinated folks.” “Almost 100% of the new hospitalizations are with unvaccinated folks. And the deaths are certainly occurring with the unvaccinated folks,” Ivey added. She continued, “We got to get folks to take the shot. The vaccine is the greatest weapon we have to fight COVID. There is no question about that the data proves it. I’ve taken the shot back in December, both shots. It’s just the thing to do. The unvaccinated is who we need to focus on.”


“Folks are supposed to have common sense. But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down,” Ivey further proclaimed. She added, “I’ve done all I know how to do. I can encourage you to do something, but I can’t make you take care of yourself.”

“..perhaps as low as 30%..”

Israel Finds Pfizer Jab Only 39% Effective At Stopping Delta Variant (ZH)

Over the past month, Israel, the world’s most heavily vaccinated country (with leading mRNA jabs, no less) has seen the number of positive COVID tests has risen by more than 30x as the number of active infections in the country has surpassed 10K. Meanwhile, the Israeli Health Ministry, which has previously estimated the true efficacy of the Pfizer jab against the delta variant at only 64% (while still more than 90% effective at preventing serious illness and death), just released new data purporting to show that while the Pfizer jab is still 88% effective at preventing serious illness, it’s only 39% effective at preventing infection with delta.


Alex Berenson, a former NYT journalist who has often reported on scientific findings that don’t support the official narrative on masks and vaccines, shared the findings in a tweet, and speculated that the true efficacy in offering protection against the Delta variant might be even lower – perhaps as low as 30%. [..] The Israeli numbers are much lower than other recent studies, including one study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which found that two doses offers 88% protection against the Delta variant causing symptomatic disease, while offering 94% protection against the alpha variant.

Vaxxed Employees Of CA City Must Wear Stickers To Work Without Masks (RT)

A California city has ordered its employees to wear a sticker identifying their fully vaccinated status if they choose to come to work without a mask, amid a growing global trend of distinguishing the vaxxed from the uninjected. The city of Montclair, located in California’s Pomona Valley, has decreed that starting next week, employees who want to work without a mask will have to wear a sticker showing they’ve had a Covid shot. According to City Manager Edward Starr, the policy is designed to ensure that Montclair is in compliance with a June directive issued by California’s workplace safety board, which instructs all vaccinated workers in the state to submit evidence or sign a pledge they have been vaccinated if they choose to abstain from wearing a face mask.

In response to recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California issued new guidance in April stating that fully vaccinated individuals could forgo masks in most settings. The city official claimed that California’s Department of Public Health was encouraging the use of stickers on employee ID badges “to demonstrate they have been fully vaccinated.” He dismissed the notion that the labels could be seen as potentially problematic, and stressed that the policy would help the city to fulfill state and federal guidelines. Starr also pointed to the fact that the CDC offers a selection of printable stickers that workplaces can provide to employees who get vaccinated. However, it doesn’t appear that the public health authority has issued guidance recommending stickers be used as forms of identification.

[..] In Switzerland, the head of the country’s centrist Green Liberal Party advocated for people working in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to wear identification showing their vaccination status, purportedly as a way to reduce the possibility of transmission in high-risk settings. The use of Star of David badges or other labels has become popular among protesters who object to global vaccine rollouts and other Covid measures. Such demonstrators have been routinely criticized and shamed by the media for their allegedly extremist views about worldwide vaccination drives, many of them now openly coercive.

EU Watchdog Approves Moderna Jab For Ages 12 And Up (Y!)

The European medicines watchdog on Friday approved the use of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine for children aged 12 to 17, making it the second jab for adolescents for use on the continent. “The use of the Spikevax vaccine in children from 12 to 17 years of age will be the same as in people aged 18 and above,” the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said, using the vaccine’s brand name. The vaccine will be given in two injections, each four weeks apart. The decision by the Amsterdam-based agency follows the approval of the first vaccine for European youngsters, by Pfizer/BioNTech in May. The effects of the jab have been studied among 3,732 children aged 12 to 17 years, the EMA said. “The study showed that Spikevax produced a comparable antibody response in 12- to 17-year-olds to that seen in young adults aged 18 to 25 years,” it said.

The Moderna jab employs the same mRNA technology as Pfizer/BioNTech, using genetic material to deliver instructions to human cells to create coronavirus spike proteins. It thereby trains an immune response without exposing the host to a real infection. The EMA said there were common side effects in children similar to those in adults. This included pain and swelling at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle and joint pain, enlarged lymph nodes, chills, nausea, vomiting and fever. “These effects are usually mild or moderate and improve within a few days from the vaccination,” the EMA said. But it noted that due to the “limited number of children and adolescents included in the study, the trial could not have detected new uncommon side effects”.

Nor could it estimate the risk of known side effects such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane around the heart). “However, the overall safety profile of Spikevax determined in adults was confirmed in the adolescent study,” it said. “The benefits of Spikevax in children aged 12 to 17 outweigh the risks, in particular in those with conditions that increase the risk of severe Covid-19.”

French Hospital Goes On Indefinite Strike To Protest Vaccination Mandate (RT)

The staff of the hospital in Montelimar, in the French department of Drome, have gone on indefinite strike to protest the new rules demanding they take a vaccine against Covid-19 by mid-September or face losing their jobs. The strike against “forced vaccination” was announced on Thursday by the CGT-GHPP trade union, and affects some 200 doctors and 1,500 nurses in the southeastern French city. Hundreds of them gathered outside the hospital on Friday, denouncing lockdowns and vaccine mandates and chanting “liberté!” (freedom). The French legislature is finalizing the proposal that would require all medical professionals in contact with the vulnerable to be fully vaccinated by September 15, or else lose their salaries and even their jobs.


“We are against mandatory vaccination and vaccine coercion,” Elsa Ruillere, local union representative, told Sputnik France. “There is no choice between tests or vaccination: vaccination is compulsory. No, we don’t agree. We want to have the choice like the rest of the world and we do not want compulsory vaccination.” Ruillere says her union supports “free and informed consent” and is not against vaccination on principle but is against coercion. Some of the medical workers said they are waiting for the French-made Sanofi-GSK vaccine, promised for December.

“..they will deny that such deaths are related to the ‘vax’ given the time distance from the injection.”

Big Fail (Jim Kunstler)

Poor Mr. Trump was hustled into the “Warp Speed” cover story for these shenanigans — which perhaps explains why he never looked entirely comfortable onstage with Dr. Fauci and the rest of the White House “team.” Meanwhile news about the efficacy of the vaccines, and especially any adverse reactions to the vaccines, has been very carefully managed by the government, the captive news media, and the — let’s just say it — the evil social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Google’s YouTube. How much are they squelching the actual numbers of deaths directly related to the vaccines? A savvy correspondent with a medical license writes:

“…the rate of reporting [adverse reactions] to the VAERS system in the US and Europe is very poor: somewhere between 1 and ten percent of actual events being reported. This obviously means that the actual death rate is likely much higher. So, I would not be surprised if the real number of ‘vax’ induced deaths in the US is in the range of 100,000 or more, much more. This is very reasonable when you take into account the shockingly frequent effects involving myocardial inflammation and blood clotting. Both of these pathologic processes logically stem from inflammation stimulated by massive production of the S1 spike protein by the injected mRNA.

The S1 spike protein, as you know, is the inflammation-inducing toxin in Covid infections. There was a major fuck-up by focusing on stimulating the production of S1; they, the PTB researchers, thought that the S1 protein was just a marker for SARs-COV, not the pathogenic toxin. In my opinion, most of the deaths from the mRNA ‘vax’ are going to take much longer via long-term inflammatory damage to the vascular system (including heart tissue, brain blood vessels, etc.). Of course, they will deny that such deaths are related to the ‘vax’ given the time distance from the injection. Too many people, making too much money from the mRNA shot….”

This is where things stand at the apogee of summer. Every day we are learning more about the spike protein time-bombs the vaxed population is walking around with in their veins. And now its coming clear why science has been made such a fetish of lately: because science has failed spectacularly, which is an even greater tragedy because when this stupendous calamity is over, what’s left of the civilized world will, by default, turn to superstition as its logical replacement.

“..a strange thing happened..”

CDC Quietly Deletes 6,000 COVID Vaccine Deaths From Its Website

As reported earlier the CDC-linked VAERS website released its weekly numbers last Friday. The website has now recorded 11,140 reported deaths from the COVID vaccine in the United States. This is up from 9,125 reported deaths from the COVID-19 vaccinations total from last week. The number of deaths linked to vaccines this year has absolutely skyrocketed. According to the CDC’s own data. On Wednesday the CDC posted on its own website that there were 12,313 reported deaths from the COVID Vaccine since December. This number would track with the VAERS website number.

But then a strange thing happened. After the CDC posted this number they went back hours later and switched it to 6,079 reported deaths in the US from the COVID Vaccine. Infowars posted video of screengrabs from the CDC website on Wednesday. The CDC deleted 6,000 vaccine deaths from its website in 6 hours. What gives?

Biden DOJ Drops Investigations Into Nursing Home Covid-19 Deaths (RT)

The Biden administration has decided not to investigate the Democrat governors of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York over claims their Covid-19 policies led to the deaths of thousands of vulnerable people in nursing homes. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta informed House Republicans on Friday that the Justice Department had decided not to open an investigation into any public nursing facilities in the three states “at this time.”= In August 2020, the Trump administration requested data about nursing home deaths from Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York – states that had policies ordering nursing homes to take in Covid-19 patients.

“We have reviewed the information you provided along with additional information available to the Department. Based on that review, we have decided not to open a [civil rights] investigation of any public nursing facility within Michigan at this time,” said the letter sent to Governor Gretchen Whitmer by Steven Rosenbaum, chief of the litigation section in the DOJ’s civil rights division, on Thursday. The same letter was sent to Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania. Whitmer’s April 2020 executive order required nursing homes to accept Covid-19 patients discharged from hospitals and place them in dedicated isolation units. Melissa Samuel, president of the Health Care Association of Michigan, claims the order was never fully implemented, however.

Wolf’s former health secretary, Rachel Levine – who withdrew her own mother from a nursing home even as overseeing the state policy of mandating homes take in Covid-19 patients – has since been confirmed as the first transgender assistant secretary at President Joe Biden’s Department of Health. The DOJ apparently sent the same letter to New York’s Andrew Cuomo. The only remaining governor who could be under investigation at this point is New Jersey’s Phil Murphy. Michigan’s official figures say that 87% of Covid-19 deaths were among people aged 60 and older, and about a third of the state’s total deaths were “linked to” long-term care facilities, amounting to 5,754 residents and staff. However, investigative journalist Charlie LeDuff claims the numbers might have been undercounted by as much as 100%, and that officials at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services told him their review of data about the deaths was stopped because it was too “time-consuming.”

Greece Invokes Constitution to Impose Compulsory Vaccination (GR)

Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis defended compulsory vaccination for some groups in the country by referencing Article 25 of the Greek constitution on Friday. Mitsotakis spoke with the President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou in front of the media about the coronavirus and the rate of vaccination in Greece. Both high-ranking politicians appeared to be in agreement about the need for a majority of the Greek populace to become inoculated. Mitsotakis highlighted that the Delta variant of the virus, which is much more transmissible than the original virus, means that it is more important than ever before for all Greeks who can get vaccinated to do so.

“The state has the right to demand the all citizens to pay their debt of social and national solidarity back,” noted Mitsotakis, referring to Article 25, Paragraph 4 of the Constitution. He then claimed that this part of Greek law is more relevant today than ever. “This is what we demand from our fellow citizens. The debt of social and national solidarity. The battle of our generation is tackling the pandemic. We will beat it. “But we must win it by taking all the responsibility of their citizens towards themselves, their families and society as a whole,” Mitsotakis said, arguing that people have a moral duty to become vaccinated.

[..] President Sakellaropoulou also spoke at length on Friday, and encouraged those who have yet to get inoculated to do so. She agreed with Mitsotakis that it was constitutional for the Greek government to coerce people who work in sectors where they endanger others to get inoculated. “The Constitution does not recognize anyone’s right, in the context of his own freedom, to endanger the life and health of his fellow human beings. This is because the rights outlined in the Constitution are granted not only because we are individuals with human value, which of course applies, but also because we are part of society as a whole,” the former Supreme Court justice explained. “And as part of society as a whole, precisely because we have the obligation of solidarity, that is, to take care of public health and the lives of our fellow human beings, we are obliged to accept restrictions on our own rights,” Sakellaropoulou added.

Science vs. Religion As Greek Priests Lead The Anti-vax Movement (Pol.eu)

Anti-vaxxers and churchgoers are out in force on a warm July Sunday morning in central Athens — and, for the most part, they are the same people. For the Greek authorities, one of the major sources of opposition to lockdowns, mask-wearing, social distancing and vaccination is influential Greek clerics and the power they wield from the pulpit. “The church authorities refuse to police the churchgoers, respecting the personality of the faithful,” reads a sign at the main entrance of Saint Nicholas’ Church in the capital. Inside the packed church, you could count the number of people wearing a face mask on the fingers of one hand. The priest, Vasileios Voloudakis, used his sermon to lash out against the government, doctors and church leadership.

“They want to treat the churches the same way they do gyms, but we believe that in here we are in heaven,” he told the congregation. “Scientists cannot explain some things, so they prefer to hush it up.” Voloudakis is one of the most prominent critics of coronavirus restrictions and vaccines in the Greek Orthodox Church and has even said that those who “alas” have the vaccine “will bitterly regret it.” He has a lot of supporters. “We stand up to protect human rights, the same rights that have been ratified by Christianity,” said Maria, a middle-aged woman attending the service with her husband who did not want to give her last name. “God does not force us to follow him, unlike those supporting vaccination.” “I fully trust my priest,” said Maria Papadopoulou, shortly after receiving Holy Communion.

“I don’t want to have an experimental vaccine. My parents are fully vaccinated, but I didn’t force them to do so; why should they do this to me? “They want to divide us and we shouldn’t allow that. Everyone should be free to do whatever they think is good for their health.” The church leadership officially supports vaccination. The head of the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop Ieronymos, spent several days in intensive care with coronavirus last November. A month later, he said: “I would be the first to go and get vaccinated if I had not been sick.” The archbishop announced he had received the vaccine on May 12. However, several influential archbishops and clerics repeatedly tell the flock not to get vaccinated, while some refuse to let people into church if they are wearing a mask or have had the jab.

Hugely Experienced Nfl Coach Leaves Job After Refusing To Take Jab (RT)

Minnesota Vikings assistant Rick Dennison has reportedly left the team after refusing to take a vaccine for Covid-19, potenitally representing the first exit of its kind in the sport since jabs were made a requirement for staff.
In a ruling announced this summer, NFL bosses have ordered all staff at the designated ‘Tier 1′ elite coaching level of the sport to provide a valid religious or medical reason for not being vaccinated. 63-year-old Dennison, who won the Super Bowl three times as a coach with the Denver Broncos, where he also spent his entire playing career, has ended his two-season spell as the Vikings’ offensive line coach and run game co-ordinator because he chose not to take the treatment, according to ESPN sources. Coaches who lose top-tier status cannot be on the field, in meeting rooms or have direct interactions with players, leading to assistant offensive line coach Phil Rauscher filling Dennison’s position, the report claimed.

[..] Fans were divided as the report spread that Dennison had become the first NFL coach to lose their job after refusing to be vaccinated, with many rowing about whether the measure would be a breach of rights and others claiming the veteran had been free to make a choice the team may not have agreed with. “They didn’t fire him due to medical status,” argued one, speaking among an apparent majority of critics who showed little sympathy towards Dennison. “They are firing him because he can’t do the job due to a personal choice, which he has every right to make. “If he doesn’t want to get vaxed, based on the NFL guidelines, he could jeopardize the team, so they move on.”

Another echoed: “He wasn’t terminated. He chose to quit because he refused to follow mandatory NFL protocols outlined for the safety of players and staff during a global deadly pandemic. We cannot move on from this unless we contain it.” A self-described US Navy veteran retorted: “Society has lost their collective mind over a virus that kills far less than one percent [of people]. “Can’t watch any sport without being bombarded with woke bullsh*t and now this is the step towards corporate totalitarianism that will end my and many others’ NFL fandom.” A media host said: “Imagine throwing away the bag [money] over two shots that take 10 minutes of your time, protect yourself and others and set a good example.”

I continue to find it strange that the cancel culture thinks that if they try to erase history, that somehow makes things better. What these teams should do is wear their names with pride, by reaching out to native communities, set up support projects, get involved in business, invest in the future of the children, so that the communities in turn feel pride in being represented by the teams.

Cleveland Indians Change Name To The “Guardians” (ZH)

After years of protests from Native American groups and some fans, Cleveland’s Major League Baseball team has officially changed its name after more than 100 years. According to the Major League Baseball (MLB) website, the team announced Friday morning that Cleveland Indians is no more, and the new name, drum roll… is Cleveland “Guardians.” Cleveland first announced last summer that it would begin having conversations with local community members and Native American groups about the possibility of a name change. The organization announced in December that it was beginning a search for a new nickname.


More than 4,000 fans signed up to be part of the conversation, and over 40,000 fans were surveyed, including 140 hours of interviews with fans, staff and community members. The organization determined that the name should connect to the city of Cleveland, preserve the team’s rich baseball history and unite the community. -MLB This follows the Washington Redskins, who changed their name “Washington Football Team” in the summer of 2020. Both of these teams have ditched Native American terminology because in today’s “woke” culture it’s considered racist.

    What would you do if you had real power and you knew the remaining fossil fuels are below the ERoEI threshold required to keep civilization chugging along?*

    The plan:
    TPTB are trying to extend homo sapiens sapiens shelf life while preserving as many current civilizational arrangements as possible.
    How?
    By reducing the number of living human beings to what TPTB estimates is Earth’s carrying capacity.
    Why the toxin (spike protein)?
    Because TPTB sees this as the more humane possible way to carry out their intents: after all, convincing people to sterilize/incapacitate/kill themselves by their own volition beats war hands down as another possible solution.

    Of course this is moot if you see TPTB as just another conspiracy theory – you just need to ask yourself: ‘How was it possible to such disparate governments around the world to act in unison?’

    Perhaps hard to accept, but is it so hard to understand?

    I find it amusing that they are trying to whip up animosity against the unvaxxed for covid when the unvaxxed on average are far more likely to be more self sufficient, rural and armed than the vaxxed. This isn’t like urban ghetto populations that can easily rounded up. This is more like pissing off the very people that uphold the traditional cultural fabric of a country (fly over America, Greek orthodox church, France and it’s indefatigable spirit of liberty etc). Thank God for the Greek Church. The equivalents in the west are completely spinless.

    It’s sad that this is being conflated with “cancel culture.” Native Americans never referred to themselves as Indians or Redskins. The sports teams names have zero to to with Native American history, they are names long considered demeaning used by mega wealthy entertainment entities (ie, modern sports teams).

    It’s a nice thought to “reach out” to native communities–except there are none in Washington, D.C. or Cleveland. They long ago were herded into reservations. And approaching them as an organization with names offensive to them is…not such a great idea.

    If you don’t think the names are racist, read the comments on Durden’s litte take on the matter. How about the Cleveland Kikes or the Washington Wops? They could reach out to the Jewish and Italian folks in the hood.

    The reason Redskin and Indian don’t have the same sting is because the Native American people don’t even have a voice in the conversation that is strong enough to have any say in the matter. While I detest the woke culture, if that is the momentum that pushed this over–and black baseball league players being included in the sport’s official records–then that is one of the few good things the “movement” has accomplished.

    This follows the Washington Redskins, who changed their name “Washington Football Team” in the summer of 2020. Both of these teams have ditched Native American terminology because in today’s “woke” culture it’s considered racist.

    Dubai Makes Artificial Rain With Drones That Shock Clouds
    https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/dubai-makes-artificial-rain-drones-shock-clouds

    That’s very cool. But it tells us three things: One, clouds and rain are electrical, and therefore magnetic. So if you have a magnetic change, you have a weather change. So do we have a magnetosphere change, where magnetism and therefore our protective cover are at their all-time minimum and the north pole has seceded to Russia? Yes. Possibly driven by the sun? Yes. What does that have to do with CO2? Nothing. Is it predictable on geologic and local scales? Yes. So it could be known decades ago and planned for? Yes.

    Two, weather control is or can be a thing. Now that’s official reality in Wikipedia with articles like the rain campaign in Vietnam. Problem is: like all written, official documents, no one believes them. Because they’re written by the government, the planet’s biggest liars? Heavens no! It’s because the governments have said that the OTHER thing they said, in their official documents isn’t true. So we don’t believe what they actually said or what we saw, but whatever Daddy wants us to believe. If confused, ask Luke Harding. (Great new Taibbi article covering the planet’s largest embarrassment)

    Three, they haven’t the slightest interest in doing this, creating rain, in the West, Northwest, Midwest, or any place it could save a million lives from food shortages. No sir.

    And four, if you want, the thought they might have this ability anywhere is terrifying. They could, for instance, topple China by causing rains and blowing the jewel of the CCP at Three Gorges. Or they could even mean well, and for instance a high pressure system could park itself off the coast of Florida for 3 years, never move an inch, becoming a perfect defense against hurricanes. Why would that be bad? Because now that no weather moves, and no sub-hurricanes, the entire Southeast would be in drought unending. Release the high pressure bubble and weather breathes west-to-east and can sometimes storm in from the Atlantic again and, you know, the people in Atlanta can drink water.

    I can only imagine the unintended consequences of chimps playing God, even worse than them actually using it to say, cause a drought in Iran or a hurricane-level monsoon in Iran, or…

    But of course none of this exists. Although Dubai says it does and is using it.

    Bonus: if electric signals can deeply affect water in clouds, can it affect humans in brains? No, never, of course not, I said, because I did no research. Daddy would never create a parallel system to have the same effects on a military enemy, on a battlefield or in their cities, and certainly never that they could point a microwave or electric cannon at Assange’s head and scramble him, make him edgy, lash out and attack each other as if he’d been poisoned, or mellow, unmotivated, as if he’d been drugged. Who would want a tool like that, said no Intelligence Agency ever?

    Hey, if the AI-created non-wild spike proteins are patented, and they’re now in every cell in your body, does that mean Pfizer now owns you? Can charge you rent? …Don’t laugh, that is actually their legal argument and practice concerning plants and seeds they have edited and patented: that they own life itself, in some strange new form of slavery. Slavery of life itself and all creation within it, as the gods. So far this has been upheld.

    NFL: because sports is NOT their job, doctors are now deciding NFL games and win-losses, picking the Super Bowl. Because medicine is not the NFL’s job, they are advising the population that they should be vaccinated without talking to their doctor who may advise differently depending on medical conditions such as cancer. Go team! OppositeLand, OppositeLand, if they can’t do it, no one can.

    I’m just glad the NFL is destroyed so men can go do something useful with their time. However, their objective is to destroy social cohesion in preparation for the planned war. …You know, the one they just drafted women into.

    And about that? If all the men die, the men remaining can restore the population, as in Europe WWI and II. If all the women die, well, that’s the end of you! It will take generations to recover, centuries even. So it’s going pretty well. Hey didn’t you know women aren’t different than men? There’s no such thing as gender, sex, reproduction, birth, lactation? Yeah, I just made that up this morning and I’m running with it all the way to the Olympics. They’re also ridiculously bad soldiers, half as strong, barely violent, and with a 6x higher injury rate. I mean, if I were China, I would do everything I could to include them, adding them is better than dropping a nuclear bomb. And that’s beyond that men will abandon their mission and die saving any woman in their squad, as men do.

    You know, you can come back any time you like. The Logos is still there waiting for you if you get lost and tired. I don’t think they’re ready yet.

    “ Alabama Governor Declares ‘It’s Time To Blame The Unvaccinated For COVID’ (SN) “

    Didn’t I read yesterday, from the totally fabricated bedtime story from an AL doctor, that Alabama has NO Covid deaths? For 9 months or something? So blame them for what? For everybody living too good? And what’s with the doctor claiming she held hands with pleading patients, begging for the vax? I assume she was visiting NY, NJ, or MI lock down states where deaths are still ongoing. The level and baldness of lies is truly breathtaking. …And that’s what happens when you suspend consequences. Have only Mercy, understanding, forgiveness, not Justice. But lacking “Justice” is no “Mercy” to the 99% of innocents put at risk. We have Justice to save the 99 sheep from the 1. While that is a terrible utilitarianism, we now sacrifice the 99 to save the 1 instead, the only worse calculation they could find.

    Kunstler: yes, my fear and why I speak: If Science discredits itself, we will be living in caves. Probably past-tense at this point. We’re already a post-science, post-math, post-literate society – look at all the city graduation rates – but China isn’t. Nor many other places. If you want to, as they suggest, go back to the land and be as the natives in harmony with the earth, in bark huts, (but also doing slavery, extinction of enemy tribes, and/or human sacrifice) then when a science culture lands on your shore in jet-powered hovercraft, carrying radar and heat-seeking drones, I can only imagine the book “1491” will happen all over again, don’t you? A: “No they won’t. Love and Light, children.” There are no monsters, they’re just misunderstood.

    “debt of social and national solidarity”

    All Socialist words. And therein lies the problem, the worldview, that is killing another 100 million this century, just as their weird beliefs killed 100M in the last. Will anyone ever learn? The “social” thing they say, the “society” the “greater good” means THEM, not you. Oligarchs, never, ever workers.

    As the priests say, it is a shibboleth, a self-sorting between what I think is a people of fear and emotion, and a people of faith and reason. …Reason only because “fear is the mind-killer.” Without the fear, you could never get them to believe such self-destroying, neighbor-destroying, nation-crushing nonsense. That’s why they want the visible self-sorting of the masks Tony has said many times do not work. And he’s been proven right everywhere on earth as zero lockdowns, no matter how violent, have had the slightest effect. In fact, the worst nations are the ones that did.

    Cleveland, a good example of modern definition of racism. Having the name “Indians” is racist. However NOT having the name means you’re ignoring the Indians, wiping them from history, forgetting about them, and is ALSO racist. Not helping them is racist, but helping is racist too. Because, as DiAngelo says, we know you’re racist at birth by the melanin content, which is immutable and cannot be altered. Some races, those with higher melanin, are therefore innately superior, and should run things, while those with less melanin are inferior, lesser beings, and should rightfully be their servants. I mean, obviously! Natural order. Science-n-stuff. One thing’s for sure, no one should consider others on their personal merits or by the content of their character, and little black boys and little white girls in Alabama should never join hands as sisters and brothers. Nope. That’s racist. Just like referring to other peoples is racist and NOT referring to them is racist too.

    “Who is to be master,” the narcissistic psychopath said, “That is all.”

    I have often heard indians refer to themselves and others as “Redskins”. And a bunch of other things. Because generally they’re not butt-hurt simps and have a sense of humor and are practical — you know, like NYers, Irish, Italians…and at this point very few others, as we now only get power and status by inventing fake offense, and person victimhood, as Dostoevsky said. But context matters. I think you could call them redskins if you’d just stop force-sterilizing them and having rape-safaris on Pine Ridge, overseen by the FBI. But that’s what we do, we DO care about words, which are violence, but we DON’T care about violence. So we’ll protect them from those durn words, not anything like, you know, the FBI, racketeering, murder, rape, poison, health care, death, and the open, admitted fabrication of the case of e.g. Leonard Peltier. Because: caring. Or in this case, caring so long as it has no self-reflection, no effort, and no risk.

    Shelves are empty in Britain, trains have stopped running in America. If only we could shed some load as supply diminishes we could survive this thing. If only there were some way to do that and down shift the same social order smaller. …Well, I can’t think of anything. I guess we’ll all just die then.

    In 1998 (when human kindness and consideration were still alive) my Alma Mater, Miami University, Oxford Ohio dropped the moniker Redskins and became the RedHawks. There was actually a REQUEST from the Miami Tribe to make the change. It was done out of genuine RESPECT.

    Re absolute galore:
    “It’s sad that this is being conflated with “cancel culture.” Native Americans never referred to themselves as Indians or Redskins. The sports teams names have zero to to with Native American history, they are names long considered demeaning used by mega wealthy entertainment entities (ie, modern sports teams).”

    Not so sure about native Americans not identifying with moniker “redskins.” Drove through Navajo reservation land last week, and passed a Navajo high school. The mascot was “the redskins.”

    There is much more to the Miami Tribes story that I started earlier…I can’t separate myself from the reality of history, which was brutal. Same old paradigm of Winners/Losers. The tribes signed away their homelands and moved to reservations. Might their complete and total destruction have been the better choice? Their slaughter in the physical world ended, yet their cultural/spiritual lives were saved?

    Is that our future?

    How many of us can say that we are willing to protect what we value, respect, and LOVE to the death?

    The death of what? Not physical as that is guaranteed! Death of false beliefs and mental afflictions?

    @phoenix: interesting observation, somewhat surprising. If the Navajo wish to call themselves “redskins” then so be it. If African Americans wish to refer to themselves “nigg**” then so be it. Many consider those references demeaning and would never choose to use them. They will have to work it out amongst themselves – or not?

    “It is outrageous that the Department of Justice refuses to investigate the deadly ‘must admit’ orders issued by governors in New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan that resulted in the deaths of thousands of senior citizens. Where is the justice for nursing home victims and their grieving families?” he said in a statement.

    “These deadly orders contradicted the CDC’s guidance, and needlessly endangered the most vulnerable among us to the deadly COVID-19 virus,” he added, referring to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Its almost like they knew the virus was only deadly to the elderly and if they wanted to bump up those death numbers, well ya better send the sick amongst the weak. In response to some who’ve commented about Karl D and Dr. D, i think i get it. The fact that this can happen and we aren’t all frothing mad, but instead are assaulted by the “partys” own frothing mad at the fact that we won’t be jabbed speaks volumes.

    “22 cases of heart inflammation in nova scotia, canada”

    22 cases of heart inflammation reported in the province after immunization with Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines… have mostly arisen in males between 20 and 30 years old who recently received their second doses of vaccine

    https://www.halifaxtoday.ca/nova-scotia-news/ns-reports-22-cases-of-heart-inflammation-following-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-3980622

    To get a rough idea of the risk:

    Census data for number of males age 20-29 in Nova Scotia:
    54,940

    Vaccinated percentage of this age group in Nova Scotia:
    40%

    Vaccinated number of males in this age group:
    (.40)(54940) =
    21,976

    Risk of heart inflammation after vaccination:
    22 cases out of 21,976 vaccinations
    or
    1 out of 1,000
    or
    1,000 per million

    This seems much higher than what the CDC is reporting for the US cases, but it’s just a rough estimate.

    #80833
    Doc Robinson
    Participant

    The CDC says the risk of myocarditis/pericarditis after vaccination is only around 40 per million for that age group (nowhere near the 1,000 per million estimate based on Nova Scotia data).

    Hereafter, myocarditis is used to refer to myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis… Myocarditis reporting rates were 40.6 cases per million second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered to males aged 12−29 years and 2.4 per million second doses administered to males aged ≥30 years; reporting rates among females in these age groups were 4.2 and 1.0 per million second doses, respectively. The highest reporting rates were among males aged 12−17 years and those aged 18−24 years (62.8 and 50.5 reported myocarditis cases per million second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine administered, respectively).

    For those Novia Scotia numbers, even if I lowball it by assuming only half (11) of those 22 cases were in the 20-29 age group for males, then the risk would be 500 per million, which is still 10 times greater than the numbers given by the CDC.

    But, “mostly arisen in males between 20 and 30 years old” sounds like it’s significantly more than half.
