In England during weeks 36 to 39 in 2020, there were 571 COVID deaths.
In the same period in 2021, there were 3,026 COVID deaths.
2,281 (75%) of these deaths were fully vaccinated, i.e. >= 14 days post dose 2.

Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine With Comirnaty Label Still Not Available in US (ET)

Officials in 19 states confirmed this week to The Epoch Times they have not received doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine labeled Comirnaty. So did pharmacies in New York, California, and Missouri. A Pfizer spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that there are no doses of Comirnaty in the United States as of Oct. 12. “The FDA-approved Comirnaty and the EUA-authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine have the same formulation and, according to the FDA labeling, can be used interchangeably to provide the COVID-19 vaccination series,” a Pfizer spokesman told The Epoch Times. However, lawyers representing clients challenging vaccine requirements, say the lack of availability means vaccine mandates based on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval are unlawful.

“Under the emergency use authorization, everyone has an option to accept or refuse the product. And that means every person, military and civilian. So this is critical. All of the mandates, from the military to the civilian population, are violating federal law,” Mathew Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal group, told The Epoch Times. The situation would be different if Comirnaty was available, Staver said. “You cannot interchange BioNTech’s Cominarty with Pfizer’s [shot] from a legal standpoint. They are legally distinct.” Contact with state and federal officials and pharmacies revealed widespread confusion regarding the differences between the approved Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and the version that received emergency use authorization (EUA) in December 2020 and continues to be administered under EUA now.

A number of officials were unaware of any differences and others insisted they were the same for all intents and purposes, including several officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which handles distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. “It’s the same thing,” an HHS official told The Epoch Times. That’s a different message than that being sent to states, some of which have been told by federal officials not to expect doses of Comirnaty for a while. “The CDC anticipates that Comirnaty will begin to ship some time in November at the earliest,” a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Health told The Epoch Times in an email, referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The Maryland Department of Health has been told by the CDC that Comirnaty will not ship until the end of October/beginning of November,” a spokesman with the Maryland Department of Health told The Epoch Times in an email.

Modelling: Covid Cases Could Peak At 5,300 A Week In Auckland Next Year (G.)

New Zealand is preparing to face up to 5,300 cases of Covid-19 a week in Auckland and the neighbouring region of Northland alone next year, even with a vaccination rate of 90%, according to modelling from the Ministry of Health. The minister of health, Andrew Little revealed the plan for how the health system could manage a surge in cases after the current vaccination drive, as the country recorded 71 new cases on Thursday. It includes upping intensive care (ICU) beds, preparing to relocate health staff to smaller regions if an outbreak emerges, giving nurses preemptive ICU training and preparing to support people recovering at home.


The number of people in ICU and high dependency units (HDU) is currently at roughly two-thirds of capacity and 16% of available ventilators are being utilised. The capacity ICU and HDU beds nationwide can be surged to 550 beds from its current capacity of 320-340 beds. Ministry of Health chief medical officer Andrew Connolly said the system is well prepared, but any system would be overwhelmed if the numbers became too great. Between 0.2 and 0.4% of Delta patients will require ICU care, while the others may need a “short, sharp burst” of hospital-level care, Connolly said. Providing vaccination levels are high, the vast number of cases would be able to recover at home in the future, with about 5% needing hospital care, Little said.

Aspirin Not Recommended For Most Adults To Prevent Heart Attacks (Hill)

An influential U.S. panel of experts changed its recommendations for people who take low dosages of aspirin in order to prevent first heart attacks or strokes. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force in a draft proposal released Tuesday recommended that adults ages 40 to 59 should only be taking low dosages of the blood thinner if their physician determines that they are at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Aspirin acts as an anticoagulant, which means it aids in preventing blood clots from forming, which is how heart attacks and strokes typically develop. Taking daily doses of aspirin was thought to lower the risk of these clots, and therefore lower the risk of heart disease and stokes.

In addition, the new guidance detailed in the draft recommends that people over the age of 60 not take aspirin to prevent first heart attacks or strokes. Previously, guidance had recommended a daily regimen of low-dose aspirin for people over the age of 50 who were at higher risk for heart attacks or strokes in the next decade, as long as they were not at a higher risk of bleeding. This move marks the first time that a U.S. health task force has recommended that adults in their 40s speak with their doctors about aspirin for heart health. This draft recommendation does not apply to people who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke. The task force still recommends that those people take aspirin preventatively.

“The latest evidence is clear: starting a daily aspirin regimen in people who are 60 or older to prevent a first heart attack or stroke is not recommended,” Tseng said in a statement. “However, this Task Force recommendation is not for people already taking aspirin for a previous heart attack or stroke; they should continue to do so unless told otherwise by their clinician.”

Unexpected Allies (Ishmael)

Strikes and quitting jobs are the last peaceful means left before the guns and gasoline come out. If the right 10% of Americans quit, the ones who move people and freight around the country, clown world would disappear in a week. Even idiots in D.C. will understand when their grocery store shelves are bare. When planes and trains don’t move, they’ll get it. Those folks have the ability to end it the quickest, but what about everyone who doesn’t work in transportation? Same thing, strikes and walkouts work. Twenty percent of the workers at any job do 80% of the work. If you’re in the 20%, you leaving throws things into chaos. Oh, the company might not realize it for a while since many have a lot of vacation and sick leave to burn before slamming the door. Companies who pontificated how replaceable everyone is are going to find out the hard way they’re wrong.

Oops. When 80% of the money and productivity walk out the door they can’t import an H1B or hire a recent college grad. Training? Forget it. The company is stuck with a huge, gaping knowledge hole and the only one capable of training the replacement walked out the door! Don’t have one of those sexy jobs? You might be part of the 20% and not realize it. This could be as simple as being the only person who knows how to order supplies in a timely manner or does all the little things everyone takes for granted but no one knows exactly who does it. The secretary throws sand into the gears on her way out because a design engineer has to figure out how to order post-its. And God help you if the person who walks is in payroll. Whoever you are, you have the ability to bankrupt the company.

Who are your allies? What pool of people out there are most likely to act along with you (striked and quitting)? Some allies are obvious: folks in the “ain’t no way, no how, no body jabbing me,” crowd are natural allies. Their actions perfectly align. Jab mandate? Good-bye, and the door will not hit them on the way out. Some people got the first round of clot shots, but don’t believe in mandates. If they strike or walk, they’re allies. Some will, some won’t. If they are supportive, they aren’t enemies, which counts for something. Some want you to take the jab because they did. These are not allies. They range from idiots to true believers. Don’t engage with idiots. Don’t explain how to pour water out of a boot, they’ll never acknowledge the boot or water exist. Save your energy for the enemy: the true believer. There’s the pool of potential allies.

Looks pretty shallow: purebloods with ****-you money and maybe a few sympathizers. Remember the 20% rule and don’t lose hope. But wait purebloods, there is another group of natural allies: Those who got ****ed by the vax and survived (so far). People whose loved ones face expensive health problems are going to sit this one out. The parent who was “so proud” of their kid for getting the clot shot only to have him end up in the ICU with a heart attack? They are going to do whatever it takes to pay for the best treatments possible, including ****ing themselves up the ass to keep their insurance. These are not the allies. The working adults who got screwed by the vax are. Screwed. Hospitalizations, cancer, autoimmune disorders, permanent disabilities. Not sick for three days, screwed by life altering side effects. Why are they allies? ALLIES ACT. The act is “not working.”

Mixed messages at best.

Southwest CEO Says No Employees Will Be Fired Over Vaccine Mandate (AmG)

During an interview with ABC News Tuesday, Gary Kelly, the CEO of Southwest Airlines, stated that no employees will be fired over the company’s vaccine mandate. However, the airline announced on October 4 that all 56,000 U.S. Southwest employees needed to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by November 24, or face termination. The CEO also told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that there was “no evidence” that any type of demonstration against the mandate had contributed to the massive service disruptions over the holiday weekend. Over 2,000 Southwest flights were cancelled, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded. “There’s just no evidence of that,” Kelly said. “Our people are working very hard, they’re doing a great job, I’m very proud of them.”

He did acknowledge that the vaccine mandate is “very controversial,” and not something he wanted for his company. “This is a government mandate, it’s a presidential order, and we’re doing our best to comply with that according to the deadlines that have been set,” Kelly said. The CEO told employees last week that the airline had no choice but to comply with the regime’s vaccine mandate. “Southwest Airlines is a federal contractor and we have no viable choice but to comply with the U.S. government mandate for employees to be vaccinated, and — like other airlines — we’re taking steps to comply,” Kelly said. An executive order was issued last month requiring all federal employees to get vaccinated, but no executive order, or federal regulation has yet been issued for private companies.

Joe Biden on September 9 unveiled his draconian plan to force all private businesses with more than 100 employees to make their workers get inoculated with the experimental COVID vaccines, or face weekly testing. A month later, no official guidance on the alleged mandate has been issued by the White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the Department of Labor. During his interview on ABC Tuesday, Kelly stated that Southwest would not be terminating any employees who refuse the injections. “We’re not going to fire any employees over this. We’re urging all of our employees to get vaccinated. If they can’t get vaccinated, we’re urging them to seek an accommodation, so we’ll do everything we can to support our people here,” he said. The guidance below went out to all Southwest employees on October 4:

“I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody, let alone that information about your medical history.”

Chicago Police Union Head Urges Cops To Defy Vaccine Mandate (AP)

The head of the Chicago police officers union has called on its members to defy the city’s requirement to report their COVID-19 vaccination status by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave. In the video posted online Tuesday and first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara vowed to take Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration to court if it tries to enforce the mandate, which requires city workers to report their vaccine status by the end of the work week. After Friday, unvaccinated workers who won’t submit to semiweekly coronavirus testing will be placed on unpaid leave.

Catanzara suggested that if the city does enforce its requirement and many union members refuse to comply with it, “It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up.” In the video, Catanzara instructs officers to file for exemptions to receiving the vaccine but to not enter that information into the city’s vaccine portal. He said that although he has made clear his vaccine status, “I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody, let alone that information about your medical history.”

During a news conference Wednesday, Lightfoot accused Catanzara of spreading false information and dismissed most of his statements as “untrue or patently false.” She said COVID-19 vaccines are proven to be effective and that getting vaccinated would protect city workers and their families. “What we’re focused on is making sure that we maximize the opportunity to create a very safe workplace,” Lightfoot said. “The data is very clear. It is unfortunate that the FOP leadership has chosen to put out a counter narrative. But the fact of the matter is, if you are not vaccinated, you are playing with your life, the life of your family, the life of your colleagues and members of the public.”

Vaccine Mandate Challenges Falter, Judges Shrug At Natural Immunity (JTN)

Legal challenges to COVID-19 vaccine mandates on the basis of natural immunity are faltering, even as more research shows the comparable durability of the protection that natural antibodies afford against infection. U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney denied a preliminary injunction Friday against Michigan State University’s mandate, citing an order last month that left in place the University of California’s mandate as litigation proceeds. The course of litigation seems to be substantiating a warning by University of Notre Dame Law Professor Gerard Bradley, a vocal critic of mandates, that judges would be “very wary” of lawsuits that are “very heavily dependent upon medical facts and statistics.”

Religious challenges are faring better. A federal judge Tuesday blocked New York Gov. Kathy Hochul from removing religious exemptions from a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers originally imposed by her predecessor, the disgraced Andrew Cuomo. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is also seeking to “clarify” a state law that bans discrimination by public or private institutions based on a person’s “conscientious refusal to receive” healthcare services. Pritzker’s spokesperson told ABC 7 the Health Care Right of Conscience Act is at risk of being “misinterpreted by fringe elements.” The Fraternal Order of Police said it’s considering invoking the law against Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s COVID vaccine mandate for city employees.

As noted by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), which is representing MSU employee Jeanna Morris, Judge Maloney previously issued an injunction against a vaccine mandate that violated the religious beliefs of student athletes, who “had no immunity whatsoever.” The public interest law firm didn’t answer a query from Just the News on whether it plans to revisit its litigation strategy in the wake of these setbacks. Its first natural immunity challenge prompted George Mason University to issue a medical exemption to law professor Todd Zywicki, but the vaccine mandate remains in force. The latest study to verify the protective power of natural immunity was published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine.

In a study of more than 800,000 Swedish families, Scandinavian university researchers found that family members without “immunity” — prior infection or vaccination — had a 45-97% lower risk of COVID infection “as the number of immune family members increased.” “The results were similar for the outcome of COVID-19 infection that was severe enough to warrant a hospital stay,” they wrote. Notably, the researchers weren’t able to perform a sensitivity analysis in fully vaccinated individuals because too few participated in the study. Vaccination is also proving insufficient to protect older people, according to U.K. government figures published last week that showed fully vaccinated older age groups now had higher infection rates than unvaccinated younger age groups.

Victoria Nuland Is In Moscow Negotiating The Status Of Ukraine’s Donbass (ZH)

Look who’s back in Eastern Europe – this time forced to deal directly with the Kremlin after a half-decade of military and political stalemate in war-torn eastern Ukraine. Victoria “F*ck The EU” Nuland is currently in Moscow for high-level talks with top Russian officials. Among multiple tense issues, there’s reportedly been progress on the situation in eastern Ukraine, related to working out a potential lasting political settlement leading to the cessation of violence there. As Biden’s Under Secretary for Political Affairs, Nuland kicked off three days of talks Tuesday and into Wednesday with Yury Ushakov, the top foreign policy aide to Putin. Interestingly the Kremlin agreed to a temporary lifting of travel sanctions against her just to enter the country for the meeting.

After initial meetings, Nuland hailed “the frank, productive review” of US-Russia relations, noting that the two sides are “committed to a stable, predictable relationship,” according to a US Embassy statement. On Tuesday after her arrival she had met with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, reportedly for more than an hour-and-a-half. The US side has indicated “no breakthroughs” in US-Russia relations as of yet, which comes after a year of sanctions and counter-sanctions targeting diplomats and mutual restrictions on media entities. It’s among the highest level meetings since Putin and Biden’s June summit in Geneva where the two leaders pledged better, frank and open communication – given Nuland is the number three highest official at the State Department.

While the American delegation hasn’t commented to this level of specifics, Russian media is citing Kremlin deputy chief of staff Dmitry Kozak as saying after Wednesday meetings that “A thorough and constructive dialogue took place regarding the settlement of the conflict in south-east Ukraine.” Kozak told the top daily newspaper Kommersant that there’s general agreement over mutual recognition of special autonomy for Donbass – where the Russia-backed, self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Lugansk People’s Republic have been in a military stalemate with Ukrainian national forces for the past six years: “It was confirmed that the Minsk agreements remain the only basis for a settlement,” he continued. “During the talks, the US confirmed its position… that significant progress towards the settlement of the conflict is unlikely without any agreement on future parameters of Donbass autonomy. In other words, giving the region a special status within Ukraine.”

The Hidden $150 Trillion Agenda Behind The Climate Change “Crusade” (ZH)

Responding rhetorically to the key question, “how much will it cost?”, BofA cuts to the case and writes $150 trillion over 30 years – some $5 trillion in annual investments – amounting to twice current global GDP! At this point the report gets good because since it has to be taken seriously, it has to also be at least superficially objective. And here, the details behind the numbers, do we finally learn why the net zero lobby is so intent on pushing this green utopia – simple answer: because it provides an endless stream of taxpayer and debt-funded “investments” which in turn need a just as constant degree of debt monetization by central banks.

Consider this: the covid pandemic has so far led to roughly $30 trillion in fiscal and monetary stimulus across the developed world. And yet, not even two years later, the effect of this $30 trillion is wearing off, yet despite the Biden’s admin to keep the Covid Crisis at bay, threatening to lock down society at a moment’s notice with the help of the complicit press, the population has made it clear that it will no longer comply with what is clear tyranny of the minority. And so, the establishment needs a new perpetual source (and use) of funding, a crisis of sorts, but one wrapped in a virtuous, noble facade. This is where the crusade against climate change comes in.

Much digital ink has been spilled on the philosophy and debate behind the green movement, and we won’t bore you with the details, but we will instead focus on the very clear, and very tangible financial consequences of a world where the establishment agrees, whether with democratic support or not, to allocate $5 trillion in new capital toward some nebulous cause of “fighting global warming.” Here are the highlights from Bank of America:

• Will it be inflationary? Yes, expect 1-3% pa shock. This is for the next 30 years… over and on top of any already present inflation!
• What are the bottlenecks? Geopolitics, climate wars and EM.
• Do we have the resources? Nickel and Lithium are just two that could be in deficit as soon as 2024.
• Is green technology really green? Not really (see below).

Drilling down on the absolutely staggering costs, at an estimated $150 trillion over 30 years, boosting funding sources to $5tn a year is equivalent to the entire US tax base, or 3x the COVID-19 stimulus this decade. Here are the details: The energy transition to a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) economy by 2050 will be a very expensive exercise, estimated by the IEA at $150tn of total investment, over a period of 30 year. At $5tn p.a, the IEA see it costing as much as the entire US tax base every year for 30 years. Not high enough for you? Hang on then because… BNEF has a higher estimate that the total investment needed for energy supply and infrastructure could be as high as $173tn through 2050, or up to $5.8tn annually, which is nearly three times the amount invested on an annual basis today.

Nature exists to be exploited.

Wall Street’s Takeover of Nature Advances with Launch of New Asset Class (Webb)

Last month, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced it had developed a new asset class and accompanying listing vehicle meant “to preserve and restore the natural assets that ultimately underpin the ability for there to be life on Earth.” Called a natural asset company, or NAC, the vehicle will allow for the formation of specialized corporations “that hold the rights to the ecosystem services produced on a given chunk of land, services like carbon sequestration or clean water.” These NACs will then maintain, manage and grow the natural assets they commodify, with the end of goal of maximizing the aspects of that natural asset that are deemed by the company to be profitable.

Though described as acting like “any other entity” on the NYSE, it is alleged that NACs “will use the funds to help preserve a rain forest or undertake other conservation efforts, like changing a farm’s conventional agricultural production practices.” Yet, as explained towards the end of this article, even the creators of NACs admit that the ultimate goal is to extract near-infinite profits from the natural processes they seek to quantify and then monetize. NYSE COO Michael Blaugrund alluded to this when he said the following regarding the launch of NACs: “Our hope is that owning a natural asset company is going to be a way that an increasingly broad range of investors have the ability to invest in something that’s intrinsically valuable, but, up to this point, was really excluded from the financial markets.”

Framed with the lofty talk of “sustainability” and “conservation”, media reports on the move in outlets like Fortune couldn’t avoid noting that NACs open the doors to “a new form of sustainable investment” which “has enthralled the likes of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink over the past several years even though there remain big, unanswered questions about it.” Fink, one of the world’s most powerful financial oligarchs, is and has long been a corporate raider, not an environmentalist, and his excitement about NACs should give even its most enthusiastic proponents pause if this endeavor was really about advancing conservation, as is being claimed.

The creation and launch of NACs has been two years in the making and saw the NYSE team up with the Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG), in which the NYSE itself holds a minority stake. IEG’s three investors are the Inter-American Development Bank, the Latin America-focused branch of the multilateral development banking system that imposes neoliberal and neo-colonalist agendas through debt entrapment; the Rockefeller Foundation, the foundation of the American oligarch dynasty whose activities have long been tightly enmeshed with Wall Street; and Aberdare Ventures, a venture capital firm chiefly focused on the digital healthcare space. Notably, the IADB and the Rockefeller Foundation are closely tied to the related pushes for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and biometric Digital IDs.

    @ John Day

    I understand your stance to not fight this, and I don’t expect you to change your mind, however, hear me out — because someone else in a similar position might choose to fight.

    It sounds to me that since your employer has determined that it is not expedient to violate state law, they are going to follow both laws (federal and state) by choosing a different reason to fire you.

    They seem to be choosing “a difference in ideology.”
    If the source for your ideology is religious, i.e. due to your Buddhist beliefs (I hope I’m remembering correctly here,) then you are being fired for religion — and that is clearly illegal.
    If the source for you ideaology is political, then that is not protected under federal law, but may be protected under Texas state law.
    If the source for your ideology is personal research, experience, and medical expertise…I’m not sure where that lies, but it would be interesting to suss it out. That might be considered firing for “medical negligence,” however, I believe that the employer would have to prove that negligence happened, not just that a specific protocol was not followed.

    @zerosum the jamanetwork study seems to me to be about the likehood of infection of a non immune person in a household where different numbers of immune persons are present. THe rate was relaively high 5% in less than a month. In essence it doesn’t appear to .suggest that immunity transferred rather that sources of infection were reduced.

    @John Day — A religious exemption DOES NOT requires an organized religion, nor does it require said organized religion to support your personal religious beliefs. Read Title VII, and listen to Peggy Hall on Youtube.
    Atheists can have a “religious” exemption.
    The basic bottom line is that you have to have an over-arching belief system about the your place in creation, and that this act violates your over-arching belief system. It is yours, and yours alone.
    If that belief system exists, you 100% QUALIFY for an exemption and a “reasonable accommodation.”
    I would suggest including the nose test in your religious exemption — the liquid sterilant is carcinogenic. It is under EUA as well. The spit test, and they do exist, is a “reasonable accommodation.”
    That doesn’t mean your employer won’t ignore the law, though.

    The bottom line is that ANYONE who believes they were created such that they, personally, are responsible for the miracle that is the body that houses us qualify for a “religious exemption.”

    Put another way, what religion, or over-arching belief system, other than beast empire worship, would DARE instruct its adherents to be blindly obeisant to special interest financed beast empire demands?
    Pretty much everyone who doesn’t worship government with their obeisance has a legal religious exemption from the dictates of beast empire.
    If you worship beast empire with blind obeisance, well, you get what you get.
    Why “beast” empire? I think it might be because it literally turns human beings into amoral/immoral beasts, as you can see all around you. Yes, passive aggressive versions of a beast, but beasts, nonetheless.

    I’m getting tired of people ending interchanges with the wish to “Be safe.” Hunh? I already had covid — I’m as safe as can be expected to be. Be safe from what? Why is it so important to “be safe?” What happened to “Have a nice day.” Or, one of my favorites: “Enjoy your day/afternoon/evening.” What if I end an interchange with: “Be wild.” Or: “Live life.”

    Anyone have an other ideas of ways to bid strangers farewell, or ways to respond to “be safe” — other than “Thanks — you too!” (I heard myself saying that after scheduling a doctor’s appointment today over the phone, and started thinking — gee, whiz, there has got to be something better to say.)

    Simon Schama’s “The Embarrassment of Riches, An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age“, ISBN 0-394-51075-5 may reveal that answer in affirmative. Worth reading anyway; most Dutch wealth has its genesis from that period and still maintains its possession while realising the flowering of the renouned visual arts and artists. The Rijksmuseum has a fabulous world class collection.

    @John Day, your analogy with the Jews in Germany is actually spot on. You aren’t claiming sameness of expression, rather, you are claiming sameness in spirit, even if deployed differently.
    I’m reading a book called Prisoner B-3087, and the description of how the Jewish people who wouldn’t CHOOSE to renounce their Jewish-first attitude is BASICALLY IDENTICAL IN EFFECT, even if not identical in mechanism.
    Jewish people who become German-first where pretty much accepted into German society. There were Jewish people in the German military, but they CHOSE to be Germans first.
    As it is now, it was then — people were asked to make a choice to abandon their moral code “for the greater good.” The principle is IDENTICAL.
    Jewish people could’ve CHOSEN TO RENOUNCE THEIR RELIGIOUS VIEWS AND FIT IN TO GERMAN CULTURE AS A GERMAN, BUT THEY **CHOSE** NOT TO.
    The German people, no doubt, blamed them for CHOOSING WRONG, just as it is today.
    You are spot on — and the fact it was Jews that CHOSE to stay Jewish-first brings it even closer to home.

    Anyone have an other ideas of ways to bid strangers farewell

    “Be wise as a serpent.”

    Given that the Money Power Monopolists are working on financing the Biblical Apocalypse, it is quite apropos. The problem is that PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is the Freddie Krueger of the modern era, and the Money Power Monopolists KNOW this!

    I can’t find the exact Rothschild quote, but the gist was that this system was engineered to appeal to those people who wanted to offload their PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

    More quotes from a member of the family that controls YOUR societal enslavement debt-based money system. I post these based on the TRUTH they represent… ignore the source — read them for the TRUTH they reveal. If you think they aren’t true, then state why. “Because it hurts my feelings” is a popular feeling, but that’s NOT logic, and I’m only interested in logic, not people who think their feelings define reality.

    “Selfish is a religious/created concept! There really is only enlightened self-interest.
    Of course, one can always continue to believe the “beautiful lies”! but where does the benefit of delusion manifest?
    It is impossible to grasp truth beyond ones comprehension. Seems obvious, but think about it. Let’s say that, for whatever reason, a person is born without the ability to see the color blue.
    Regardless of how the color is explained to the unfortunate one, he or she will never truly “understand” blue in the sense that the similarly unafflicted will.
    Ah! I can hear young Bickle thinking! But those with sensory impairments often compensate in other ways! The blind man develops amazing hearing! The deaf experience tactile enhancements! Very true! But these enhancements develop with the SUPPORT OF NATURE! There is a difficult period of adjustment, to be sure, but at some point the afflicted ACCEPTS the impairment and concurrently becomes OPEN to other possibilities! And NATURE accommodates.
    So, lets extrapolate this to the search for truth. One may come to understand that they are “truth impaired” and that others may know truths that the one does not.
    How does one react? That is the question.
    Hostility and confrontation against “foes”, real and imaginary. I notice on this site, most of the foes are imaginary!
    Laughing out loud!
    Note the varied reactions to my posts to date to illustrate the point in a “real time” basis.
    In times past, those who learned a craft would become an apprentice to the master, or the one with the desired expertise. In stark contrast to reverting to delusions and the “beautiful lie”
    Everyone makes choices in life. It is the choice which imparts the responsibility however.”

    “The money doesn’t “go” anywhere. You must understand the basics by now??
    1) “money” is created on a fractional-ized basis, but has no intrinsic value. Rather, the federal reserve act of 1913 allows the Federal Reserve to create a money substitute which circulates the same as “real” money. The FRA makes the us citizens responsible for the “repayment” of all debts accruing from the use of these instruments.
    2) Usury, or interest, is charged along the way. The owners of the Fed receive a cut of this interest. What is represented, of course, is the blood, sweat and energy of those so yoked. Which would be you, of course.
    3) Thus, there is no issue with deficits and deficit spending, as your Mr. Cheney pronounced to great dismay. Of what difference if the debt is 15 trillion or 150 trillion…only the interest has to be paid…not the principal…
    THERE IS NO PRINCIPAL!
    It could not, by definition EVER be repaid…by design.
    Laughing out loud!
    Keep repaying the interest…keep toiling…and all will be well.”

    “Bickle, I referred to the concept of “beautiful lies” many times. Take the example of santa claus. Children are taught the beautiful lie. In one sense, children must be taught small lies to believe the larger ones later in life.
    You have an intellect of sorts, but have not made the choice if you want to believe the beautiful lies, or live in a life where harsh reality truths are dealt with.
    You want to believe there is a savior out there…someone smarter than you who can tell you how things really are. Give you a blueprint for which to proceed.
    Many famous musicians made fortunes and then lost them later by outsourcing the financial management to others.
    You can likewise outsource the difficult struggle for truth, but take the risk of being led astray or cheated. Can you take that level of risk?
    Perhaps a more reasonable expectation is to gather clues and form your own opinions. From there, you develop the ability to make choices and actions. Right or wrong, they are your decisions. You are driving the bus! From your wrong decisions, wisdom will come…sooner or later. Unless you delude yourself in which case all bets are off.
    Look at yourself today, honestly. What do you say is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. Not in a grand sense, but a realistic day to day sense.
    What prevents you from attaining what you want?”

    “Consider that the current world-wide FIAT SYSTEM was the product of APPLIED KNOWLEDGE of HUMAN NATURE.
    Since the system of FIAT is ILLUSORY, and created from next to nothing, there can be NO ARGUMENT that KNOWLEDGE trumps humans concepts of wealth and money in all regards!
    What is next to come is of a completely realm, and unlike FIAT, not so easy to avoid!
    Laughing out Loud!
    So, your “insight” is noting more than the observations of a simpleton!”

    “You might have read that North Dakota had a ballot initiative to ELIMINATE property taxes!
    Can you IMAGINE that it did not pass?
    Truly stupid humans…but, of course, we could not allow such anti-slave initiatives to possibly exist.
    No property taxes! Heresy!
    Laughing out Loud!
    But to answer your questions, pay unto Caesar what is Caesars!
    There are many ways to skin a cat…put on your conn-skin cap and THIMK!”

    NATURAL LAW has been the central thrust of my commentary throughout this thread.
    COMPREHENSION issues much?
    NATURAL LAW is that observable in NATURE…the LAWS of NATURE…not self-deluded philosophers and other do-gooders who lead lives of secret desires, unrequited and otherwise!
    Delusions of what humans are and how they behave have created untold pain and suffering.
    Such delusions can lead to perversions unimaginable to others!
    Laughing out Loud!”

    “By definition, there can be no true peer-to-peer network, since ANY system, by definition, is created by the few for the many. Such creators have ENORMOUS advantages in any system so constructed…and NATURE teaches us that those endowed with such advantage will exploit fully from the MANY to the benefit of the FEW.
    You must understand the biological imperative hard wired into the monkey-brain which make this a given. Upcoming changes to information systems and computational power will make the conceptual platform moot anyway.
    Do take care and stay tuned for future updates!”

    “”Maximum Damage”, as you state it, could theoretically have been obtained by OPTING OUT of utilization of the FIAT SYSTEM.
    It is now past the point that option would change the steps set for the next evolutionary phase.
    However, individuals may still OPT OUT of the FIAT SYSTEM, and will be INCONVENIENCED!
    Laughing out Loud!
    GO AHEAD AND OPT OUT! BRING ON THE DAMAGE!
    I don’t understand your reference to the 3 levels, and thus have no information!
    I would refer your “investment” questions to my LOTTERY POST.
    And, yes, we are FREE OF FIAT!
    Was there some confusion in that regard, or were you busy “ripping your screen” when you were posting?
    Laughing out Loud!”

    Note — Of course the Rothschild knows how the debt-money bubble-bust operation works, and he explained it perfectly! Keep exponentially growing fiat-debt money, OR COLLAPSE THE SYSTEM, B*zzz!
    This is obvious, yet so few people comprehend this. Most believe government will hyperinflate. They will not.

    It was a narrow escape. If the sheep had been created first, man would have been a plagiarism. ~ Mark Twain

    The people who own the country ought to govern it. ~ John Jay

    Behind every GREAT fortune there is a crime. ~ Honore de Balzac

    A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

    Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

    Blame the fool, not the tool.

    No group of professionals meets except to conspire against the public at large. ~ Mark Twain

    No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people…People can easily be persuaded to accept the most inferior ideas or useless products ~ H. L. Mencken.

    Our rulers deliver favors to their clients…For in a predatory regime, nothing is done for public reasons. Indeed, the men in charge do not recognize that “public purposes” exist. They have friends, and enemies, and as for the rest—we’re the prey. ~ James K. Galbraith

    Graphene Oxide Interactions with Innate Immune Cells… — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nYvS11NDRc

    Scroll to the comments section, and find poster Eternal Blossom. Open her thread that begins with “we are swimming in a world…”
    “We have thé information and scientific data, the vaxxed wollow and drown in their own ignorance and stupidity.”
    Note the content and tenor of one Robert de Rothschild, and compare it what the Rothschild revealed in his 2011 Q&A, below…

    “Humans are notorious for making bad choices and blaming others, fate, the government or whomever for the sorry state of their condition. Look at the fast food industry growth and the rise in health care costs. HFCS, Pharma, vaccines and so many others...and yet stupid humans just keep marching to the same tired beat.”

    “The pharmaceutical industry is very large and powerful, and exists as a middleman of sorts between humans and their natural remedies.
    Unfortunately for humans, these pharma are profit based first and foremost.
    Remedies to every issue facing humans can be found in NATURAL LAW, including health related. It is up to the human to choose direct participation…or farm out these needs to a party with clearly vested interests!
    Another great example of FREE WILL!
    Laughing out Loud!
    No one would say the information isn’t out there to those who seek it out!
    Check and MATE!”

    Note — The Rothschilds OWN the Big Pharma complex… to manage US.
    Note — They believe “survival of the fittest” is God’s “natural law,” and the “unfit” kill themselves without any responsibility on their end.

    They aren’t just degeneraciding the planet, they are doing it in such a way that THEY BELIEVE accrues no guilt on their behalf — they believe they are righteous! The CHOSEN, even!

    Data? We don’t need no steekieeng data!!!

    It is worse. They have to avoid the data in order to force this agenda. The Rothschild commented on EXACTLY what is going on many times, but three very relevant comments are as follows:

    1. I would advise those so inclined to listen that their bloodlines are, today, in great danger of mass extinction! Mass number of bloodlines, that is to say.

    2. Those humans who feed off their peers (cannibals, in a sense) consume with a ravenous appetite which puts us to shame. They enjoy the sense of power and humiliation over those subjugated!
    What will evolve, and very quickly as it now looks, is that they will learn, painfully, the magic of what we learned eons ago…the magic of incremental, almost Infinitesimal rates of change! It must be this way…and they will pay a dear price!
    As to your current situation, you may discover that these same oppressors also function under the laws of cowardice. That is to say, it is exactly the ILLUSION of control and power which makes it so. You may, at your discretion, choose to opt out at any time you decide that you refuse to further participate!
    Of course, under the order of NATURAL LAW you are free to do so at any time! It is your free will to do so.
    I ask you, have you made ANY concrete effort to express your will in this regard?
    And consider the Kyoto Effect! Any small action YOU take to change the course of your bloodline will have effects impossible for you to now comprehend. Remember that the longest journey begins with a small step.

    3. “At some point, the remaining bloodlines will be similar enough in power and stature to know that coexistence is the next logical evolutionary step….referred biblically as the thousand year peace. At that point, there wont be many left, at least relevant to the current population level. 500 million at most.
    THEN things get interesting!
    Thanks for playing!”

    “At most” effectively means they reserve the right to finance scenarios that kill off the 500 million remaining, too — this is the number they use only so that their “management team” feels like they will be able to survive after they kill us off. They will be next, though. My 3 year old son asked me, as we were watching Darth Vader and the Emperor (a descendant of the “Banking Clan,” BTW), “Dad, do bad people know that other bad people are bad?” The answer is obviously “not really.”

    I previously posted the Rothschild’s proclamation that vaccines were for “stupid” “humans,” and I even posted a Youtube comment from a Robert de Rothschild that chastised people who took their graphene injection for not doing their homework and defending themselves from this absurdity. Just look it up on this thread.

    They have told us the truth, and believe that their revelation, coupled with our ignoring of it, leaves them blameless when the effects of our being “unfit” eventually extinguish our family line for good. This is their stated ideology, they control the global money systems in every country except Syria and Iran (the woman “riding the beast” has illicit relations with “every nation,” right… two countries to go and that Revelations prophecy is complete!), and they couldn’t care less what our debt-based money enslaved “cretin” *sses have to say about it!!

    That is a perq of controlling the global monetary system. It is why this is my #1 issue, and oddly enough in my mind, why most people cower from this REALITY!

    Did Covid orphan those children, OR DID MONEY POWER MONOPOLIST FINANCED POLICY executed through the politicians they financed MURDER those people?

    “The true equation is ‘democracy’ = government by world financiers…The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or what is most important of all, the banker of the backer. Enthroned above all, in a manner without parallel in all past, is the veiled prophet of finance, swaying all men living by a sort of magic, and delivering oracles in a language not understanded [sic] of the people.”

    Over at the CTH they are saying opening the California ports to 24/7 won’t solve anything. Sure they might unload more shipping containers from ships but that does nothing to solve the shortage of trucks.

    Only trucks less than 3 years old can enter the ports to pick up shipping containers! This is a 100% made in California problem created in 2020! Notice there is no problem at any other US ports!

    Will the next step in California’s insanity be only electric trucks can pick up shipping containers?

    “The 2020 Election Wasn’t Stolen, It Was Bought By Mark Zuckerberg (Fed.)”

    Uh, no. It was stolen. Who is to say if Zuck’s was the heaviest thumb on the scale, as compared to all the others? Was it media bias, voting machines programmed to allocate votes fractionally, mail-in ballots, cheating poll workers, etc?

    What really matters is that Trump, that inept interloper, gave voice to the common man’s concerns, and was therefore dangerous to the system. He was a populist. FDR once said that “Presidents are selected, not elected.” Trump was a mistake. It was Hillary’s “turn” in the White House. The establishment in their smug arrogance dropped the ball, and spent the next four years attempting to regain control. Alas, global plans had to be delayed.

    “Why is it at night that we always talk about these things?” – Hobbes

    Easy, because darkness amplifies our insecurities. Every child knows this. Adults too, but they will rarely admit it. At our core we are all insecure. That is why we prize so highly the virtue of courage. It must be acquired at some time if we are to gain our autonomy, personal sovereignty. Speaking of…

    ~~~

    I’ve read the many accounts of those having their lives turned upside down by the current pandemic policies and mandates. My heart goes out to them all. It is the “trial by fire” in which our commitment to principles is tested. I’ve had mine, and suffered great losses for it. Character does not come cheaply. If it were that easy everyone would be a sterling specimen of virtue. Expect to pay a high price and you will not be disappointed. However, on the plus side, in the process of evolution we always sacrifice that which is of lower value for that which is of higher value. The difficulty is that we cannot see this from below, but only from above.

    I’m in admiration of Dr. John Day and the example he has set for all here. It is not easy to be the first to step forward and take the heat, but oh so much easier to be the second after the example has been set. He supplies strength to us all at this difficult time.
