OSHA Suspends Enforcement of Biden’s Vaccine Mandate (NR)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has suspended implementation and enforcement of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for private employers after a federal court blocked the measure. The OSHA website page dedicated to the COVID Vaccine Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) reads: “While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.” Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit fully blocked Biden’s executive order requiring companies with over 100 workers to mandate vaccination for their employees after temporarily staying it on November 12.

The court ordered that OSHA “take no steps to implement or enforce” the vaccine mandate “until further court order.” By its mandate, the Biden administration is claiming that the federal government, through congressional legislation, has regulatory power to issue a medical mandate for the sake of public health and therefore general welfare. However, since the directive was announced, many legal scholars have challenged its constitutionality, given that the legislation it relies on for authority explicitly states that an ETS can only be issued when employees are exposed to a “grave danger” that necessitates immediate action. That case is becoming increasingly difficult to argue, given the fact that some vaccinated individuals can transmit the disease and that treatment options for COVID infections are expanding.


As of Tuesday, the Biden administration is planning to purchase 10 million doses of Pfizer’s antiviral medication to treat patents with COVID. Some lawmakers and pundits have speculated that Biden’s strategy with the vaccine mandate recognized that the order would likely be indefensible in court but hoped that its chilling effect would pressure employers to comply in advance of any litigation. After the federal appeals court first issued a motion to stay the order, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki still urged employers to implement coercive measures to increase vaccination numbers among their labor forces, although without the teeth of government enforcement.

It took 108 days to approve the vaccine. It will take over 20,000 days to tell us why.

FDA Asks Judge to Grant it Until 2076 to Release Pfizer Vaccine Data (Siri)

The FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. That is not a typo. It wants 55 years to produce this information to the public. As explained in a prior article, the FDA repeatedly promised “full transparency” with regard to Covid-19 vaccines, including reaffirming “the FDA’s commitment to transparency” when licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. With that promise in mind, in August and immediately following approval of the vaccine, more than 30 academics, professors, and scientists from this country’s most prestigious universities requested the data and information submitted to the FDA by Pfizer to license its COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA’s response? It produced nothing. So, in September, my firm filed a lawsuit against the FDA on behalf of this group to demand this information. To date, almost three months after it licensed Pfizer’s vaccine, the FDA still has not released a single page. Not one. Instead, two days ago, the FDA asked a federal judge to give it until 2076 to fully produce this information. The FDA asked the judge to let it produce the 329,000+ pages of documents Pfizer provided to the FDA to license its vaccine at the rate of 500 pages per month, which means its production would not be completed earlier than 2076. The FDA’s promise of transparency is, to put it mildly, a pile of illusions.


It took the FDA precisely 108 days from when Pfizer started producing the records for licensure (on May 7, 2021) to when the FDA licensed the Pfizer vaccine (on August 23, 2021). Taking the FDA at its word, it conducted an intense, robust, thorough, and complete review and analysis of those documents in order to assure that the Pfizer vaccine was safe and effective for licensure. While it can conduct that intense review of Pfizer’s documents in 108 days, it now asks for over 20,000 days to make these documents available to the public. So, let’s get this straight. The federal government shields Pfizer from liability. Gives it billions of dollars. Makes Americans take its product. But won’t let you see the data supporting its product’s safety and efficacy. Who does the government work for?

Fauci Says Covid-19 Booster Might Become New Standard For Being Vaccinated (NYP)

COVID-19 booster shots may become the new standard to be considered fully vaccinated, according to the nation’s top doctor. Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed the impending need for hundreds of millions of Americans to roll up their sleeves and get the jab during a pre-taped interview that aired at the 2021 STAT Summit in Boston this week, according to ABC News. “I happen to believe as an immunologist and infectious disease person that a third shot boost for an mRNA [vaccine] … should be part of the actual standard regimen, where a booster isn’t a luxury,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases reportedly said.

“A booster isn’t an add-on and a booster is part of what the original regimen should be. So that when we look back on this, we’re going to see that boosters are essential for an optimal vaccine regimen,” Fauci told the audience, according to the network. The remarks came as New York City and several states expanded booster shot eligibility to all adults who were vaccinated against COVID-19 at least six months ago this week. Until then, the jabs were only available to people 65 years of age and over and those in high-risk situations. The guidance from the president’s chief medical advisor came as Moderna filed an application with the FDA seeking emergency use authorization of vaccine booster shots for all US residents 18 and older. Pfizer last week asked federal regulators to expand its booster shot eligibility to all Americans.


Some 31.5 million Americans had already received a booster shot on Wednesday, according to CDC data. More than a third of the recipients were over 65. The number of vaccinated US residents stood at 196 million people, according to the agency — which noted that more than 40 percent of the country was not fully inoculated. The push for booster shots came as the seven-day rolling average of cases increased by 27 percent since Oct. 25, US data showed. Fauci had said over the summer he was “certain” Americans would need additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines.

Hospital Files Motion to Dismiss Dr. Paul Marik’s Landmark Case (FLCCC)

On Friday, November 12, 2021, Sentara Hospital System in Virginia submitted a motion to dismiss the complaint filed against it earlier in the week by Dr. Paul Marik—co-chief medical officer of the FLCCC, tenured professor, and the Director of the Intensive Care Unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. Dr. Marik filed suit seeking a temporary injunction to lift the ban Sentara Healthcare System had placed on a range of highly effective COVID-19 treatments used by Dr. Marik to save critically ill COVID-19 patients. These components, including IV vitamin C, dutasteride, fluvoxamine, finasteride, and ivermectin, had previously been successfully used—with the exception of ivermectin, the use of which Sentara never permitted —to reduce COVID deaths in the ICU by as much as 50 percent. The result of the prohibition has been a sharp increase in mortality at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

The hospital’s motion to dismiss Marik’s lawsuit rests on their claim that Dr. Marik has “lack of standing” to bring the lawsuit against the hospital. According to the hospital, “The alleged causes of action against Sentara, if any, reside with the patients in the hospital, not those patients’ attending physician.” The hospital also asserted in its motion that Virginia’s Advance Directive Statute and/or the Health Care Decisions Act do not “afford the patient the ability to specifically direct or demand his or her course of treatment by a physician or hospital.” But Dr. Marik’s complaint argues that “Sentara’s prohibition of these medicines is causing needless deaths, because it violates patients’ rights to informed consent, and because it contravenes Virginia’s Health Care Decisions Act.”

Under Virginia law, Dr. Marik, as the “attending physician” of his patients in the ICU, is personally and legally responsible for the exercise of professional skill and judgement in determining what a patient under his care receives. Because Dr. Marik is prohibited from giving his patients medications that are potentially lifesaving—and have been demonstrated as such in peer-reviewed studies—he is forced to abandon his professional duty. His actions are regulated by the hospital in such a way that it causes him to violate the rights of his patients.

The hospital’s motion to dismiss or continue the hearing — scheduled for Thursday, November 18 at 1PM ET in Norfolk — also argues that Dr. Marik has lack of standing to bring the lawsuit because he has not been “injuriously affected” by the prohibition of the medications since he himself was not a patient who was denied “the alleged” lifesaving treatment. Yet, if Dr. Marik were to violate the hospital’s prohibition, he would be subject to revocation of his hospital privileges. Furthermore, due to Sentara’s prohibition, he is the one who faces potential legal liability for failing to provide his patients with the medications which, in his professional judgment, had the capacity to save their lives. Therefore, Dr. Marik has solid standing to seek vindication of the rights of his patients and of himself as treating physician.

Think there’s a supply chain issue now? Just wait.

37% of US Truckers Will Not Comply With Vaccine Mandate (CTH)

A very interesting interview with Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Association. During a House Transportation Committee hearing on supply chain issues, CEO Chris Spear shares an internal survey showing that 37% of truck drivers “not only said no, but said hell no” to the Biden vaccine mandates. To give some perspective of the downstream consequence, the ATA President noted that “if just 3.7 percent, not 37 percent, just 3.7 percent” of the drivers left the industry, there would be over a quarter million vacancies resulting in a “catastrophic” collapse of the U.S. supply chain. Mr. Spear also shared his opinion the OSHA rule is completely unworkable and unlawful.

The consequences are grave if just 3.7% did not work. However, if ten times that many, 37 percent of truck drivers, stopped hauling products because of the Biden vaccine requirement, American civic society would collapse within days as panicked citizens took to the streets. Desperate Americans would be clamoring for scarce products, and the impact on society could not be measured. As we have continued to point out, a federal vaccine mandate might sound like a good idea on a think tank, academic or white paper policy level of consideration; but on a practical level, wiping out a large percentage of your most productive workforce over a vaccine mandate is unworkable, and might even end the operation of the entire business.


It is important to note the recent NBC poll on this issue amid the outlook of the vaccine mandates. A majority of the country do not support the vaccine mandates, and worse still, the number of unvaccinated workers is essentially unwavering in the past six weeks. Remember, the number of Americans who willingly quit their jobs increased to 4.3 million in August, and then increased again to 4.4 million in September. People are not f**king around now.

Challenging the spike protein monopoly?

“T-Cell Priming” Vaccine Could Provide Better Immunity Than mRNA Vaccines (Salon)

The development of mRNA vaccines, a long-promised and much-touted biotechnology, is regarded as a great victory of medical research spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, millions of people have been inoculated with these novel vaccines, which comprise both the Pfizer/BioNTech shot as well as Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. Yet mRNA vaccine technology is not the only immunological innovation that may emerge from the pandemic. Now, a company based in the United Kingdom called Emergex is preparing to test a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine based on a radical new technology. Unlike the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines — which inject a bespoke strand of messenger RNA that generates Spike proteins within the human body — this new vaccine technology is delivered via a skin patch, and relies on T cells, which are white blood cells that are part of the immune system, to kill infected cells.

It is believed that a T-cell vaccine would incite a more rapid and durable response to fighting the infection. “Although current COVID-19 vaccines have made significant progress in reducing mortality and morbidity, challenges still remain, especially with the development of new variants,” said Professor Blaise Genton, Principal Investigator for the trial from the Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Unisante) at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. “This exciting new scientific approach to developing a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 addresses the need to generate a T-cell response to elicit long term immunity.”


One of the constituent types of immune system cells, T cells play a vital role in fighting threatening foreign substances in the human body. Unlike some immune system cells, T cells do not attack any foreign body; rather, they are laser-focused only on specific pathogens. This trait, researchers believe, could be exploited such that their vaccine could instill a T-cell response in the human body — without actually giving their immune system the dangerous SARS-CoV-2 virus first. Emergex’s proposed vaccine would prepare T cells to remove infected cells from the body right after being infected. This would prevent the virus from replicating and progressing to COVID-19. By targeting and priming the T cells, this would also reduce the transmissibility between infected and non-infected people because it would stop the virus from replicating and prevent the onset of symptoms.

Closer to exploding than almost anyone appears to think.

The US Is A Powder Keg (Tucker)

A USA Today poll shows that Biden’s approval has sunk to 38%. The trend line here is truly devastating. We can speculate why. Inflation plays a role. But also the vaccine mandate seems to have hit the Biden approval rating very hard. In the coming month, millions of jobs could be affected by this. The protests are growing in every city, and the people protesting are union members, city employees and even tech workers. They are furious that government would presume the right to tell people what medicines they must inject into their bodies. Some of the protesters are themselves vaccinated against their will. They are bitter and angry about it. The news of adverse outcomes from vaccination is leaking out through family networks and alternative news venues, though it continues to be suppressed by the media. So this mandate is now being seen as a direct threat to individual health.

That’s something that will inspire people to take to the streets. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a stay against OSHA’s mandate on businesses. The Biden administration attempted a response, but the result was lame. It just said that it stands by the mandate on health grounds, period. Perhaps this won’t surprise you, but the president himself instructed businesses to go ahead and proceed, essentially advocating that they ignore the court ruling. In other words, the Biden administration has gone completely lawless, not just ignoring the U.S. Constitution but also advocating that businesses ignore the courts. That’s dangerously close to announcing that we now live with dictatorship. It’s no wonder that even Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is talking about secession from the union. If he is saying this, I truly cannot imagine the kind of anger there is among the citizens.

If you wanted to live in exciting times, you chose a great time to be alive. The conditions are ripe not only for continuing electoral bloodbaths but more street protests, explosive town halls, hate-filled school board meetings and much worse. A more divisive and destructive policy is hard to imagine. Sadly, these policies are dividing friends and family. Some people with vaccinations don’t see the big deal here. Just get the jab, they say, and then you can be free. Others find this idea to be outrageous, an immoral acquiescence to power that can only lead to even worse outcomes. I just watched several hours of testimony from big shots at the NIH and the CDC. It might as well have been a paid advertisement from Moderna and Pfizer. Nearly every word out of the bureaucrats’ mouths was structured to push the vaccines that most everyone knows by now have failed to live up to their promise.

Indeed, if they were as good and safe as they say, government would not need to mandate them. The mandates, ironically, undermine public confidence. It’s hard to imagine that public confidence in everything could fall further, but it will. To top it off, making all the above much worse, the vaccination is now coming for the kids. Mandates will surely follow. You want revolution in this country? This is a good way to foment one. The current regime has another year of unchecked power. It seems unfathomable. So far, they have not been deterred by anything, not the courts, not public opinion, not even sinking election prospects. The U.S. has become a powder keg.

The prejudice will be needed, or the whole circus can start again.

Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Moves For A Mistrial With Prejudice (AT)

During the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution argued that Kyle provoked the men who attacked him by waving his gun. To prove this, during the trial, the prosecution gave the defense fuzzy drone footage. There was a great deal of argument about what could be extrapolated from that fuzzy view. It turns out that the prosecution had within its possession a high-quality video that it played for the judge after the trial ended. On this, and other evidentiary grounds, the defense moved for a mistrial with prejudice. The defense motion states the facts with sufficient clarity that I’m going to reprint them here verbatim:

“On November 5. 2021, the fifth day of trial on this case, the prosecution turned over to the defense footage of a drone video which captured some of the incident from August 25, 2020. The problem is, the prosecution gave the defense a compressed version of the video. What that means is the video provided to the defense was not as clear as the video kept by the state. The file size of the defense video is 3.6 MB and the state’s is 11.2 MB. Further, the dimensions on our video are 480 x 212, the state’s, 1920 x 844. The video which was in the state’s possession, wasn’t provided to the defense until after the trial concluded. During the jury instructions conference, the defense played their version of the video for the court to review. The state indicated their version was much clearer and had their tech person come into court to have the court review their clearer video. The video is the same; the resolution of that video, however, was not. The state did not provide their quality video to the defense until Saturday, November 13, 2021, and only did so upon specific request by Attorney Wisco — two days before closing arguments and after the evidence had been closed.”


Under Wisconsin law, when the defense makes a demand, the prosecution must provide to the defense “[a]ny physical evidence that the district attorney intends to offer in evidence at the trial” and “[a]ny exculpatory evidence.” That’s Wisconsin Stat. § 971.23(1)(g) & (h). I don’t have the time to research the law, but my bet is that if Wisconsin’s appellate court ever had before it the question of whether the prosecutor may get away with producing bastardized, degraded versions of the requested evidence, it would say emphatically not. The motion for a mistrial with prejudice also raises the fact that, when Kyle Rittenhouse took the witness stand, the prosecutors improperly accused him of keeping silent after his arrest. That right, of course, is enshrined in the famous Miranda rights warning that all arrestees in America receive: “You have the right to remain silent …” The corollary to that right is that this silence cannot be used against the defendant in a court of law, but that’s exactly what the prosecution tried to do.

“Schiff’s spin is enough to cause permanent vertigo.”

The Steele Dossier and the End of Shame In American Politics (Turley)

The famous philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal once declared that “the only shame is to have none.” The problem with shame is that it requires a sense of guilt over one’s actions. In the age of rage, there appear fewer and fewer actions that are beyond the pale for politics. Take Adam Schiff and the Steele dossier. While even the Washington Post has admitted that it got the Russian collusion story wrong in light of the findings of Special Counsel John Durham, House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is still insisting that he was absolutely right to promote the discredited Steele dossier. Schiff’s interview on NBC’s Meet the Press may be the final proof of the death of shame in American politics.

Schiff was one of the greatest promoters of the Steele dossier despite access to briefings casting doubt about Steele and the underlying claims. However, Schiff recently has attempted to defend himself by claiming that Steele was a respected former spy and that he was lied to by a Russian source. Schiff told host Chuck Todd: “I don’t regret saying that we should investigate claims of someone who, frankly, was a well-respected British intelligence officer. And we couldn’t have known, of course, years ago that we would learn years later that someone who is a primary source lied to him. [Igor] Danchenko lied to Christopher Steele and then lied to the FBI. He should be prosecuted. He is being prosecuted. And I’ll tell you this, if he’s convicted, he should not be pardoned the way Donald Trump pardoned people who lied to FBI agents, like Roger Stone and Mike Flynn. There ought to be the same standard in terms of prosecuting the liars. But I don’t think there ought to be any pardon, no matter which way the lies cut.”

Schiff’s spin is enough to cause permanent vertigo. Some of us have spent years being pummeled for questioning the obvious problems with the Steele dossier, including the long-denied connection to the Clinton campaign. Schiff was the main voice swatting down such criticism and his endorsements were treated as dispositive for media from MSNBC to the Washington Post. After all, he was the chair of the House Intelligence Committee and assured the public that our criticisms were meritless and the dossier was corroborated. Schiff’s spin, however, continues to deny the obvious about the Russian collusion scandal.

First, many would guffaw at the claim that Steele was and remains a “well-respected British intelligence officer.” Soon after the dossier was shopped to the FBI, British intelligence flagged credibility problems with Steele. The FBI severed Steele as an asset. Even his own sources told the FBI that Steele wildly exaggerated information and distorted intelligence. Most recently, Steele went public with a laughable claim that Michael Cohen, Trump’s former counsel, was lying to protect Trump despite spending years trying to get Trump charged criminally.

Second, Schiff ignored repeated contradictions in Steele’s dossier as well as evidence that the dossier was paid for and promoted by the Clinton campaign. In 2017, even fired FBI agent Peter Strzok admitted that “we are unaware of ANY Trump advisors engaging in conversations with Russian intelligence officials” and “Steele may not be in a position to judge the reliability of his subsource network.” Schiff would have had access to some of this intelligence. Indeed, while the Clinton campaign was denying that it funded the dossier, American intelligence knew that that was a lie. Indeed, until the Durham indictments, Schiff continued to defend the Russian collusion investigation and the Steele dossier.

Third, Schiff attempts to portray the sole problem with the Steele dossier as Russian analyst Igor Danchenko. That is simply not true. Schiff was long aware that there were allegations of misleading or false information given by the FBI to the secret court. Indeed, the first Durham conviction was of Kevin Clinesmith, the former FBI agent who pleaded guilty. Schiff was aware that President Barack Obama was briefed in 2017 that Hillary Clinton was allegedly planning to manufacture a Russian collusion scandal — just days before the start of the Russian investigation. The dossier was riddled with disproven allegations. Fourth, Schiff states that he merely sought to investigate allegations. However, Schiff was one of the most active members fueling the Russian collusion allegations. Indeed, when the Mueller investigation found no proof of Russian collusion, Schiff immediately went public to claim that he had evidence of collusion in his committee files. It was meant to keep the scandal alive. Schiff has never produced his promised evidence of collusion.

    Money == debt. No debt, no money.

    DEBT == POVERTY.

    The debt-based money system ITSELF drives poverty… so Peterson is flashing his monetary illiteracy when he says poor people ought to be lifted from poverty… THEY CAN’T BE IN THE DEBT-BASED MONEY ZERO-SUM GAMES WITHOUT DRIVING THOSE WITH NET MONEY INTO POVERTY, TOO!

    “If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.”

    If money is energy and the uberrich are a black hole, then they have no choice but to suck all the money inwards towards themselves. Everything they do results in them getting more of the energy of the system. It’s natural. It’s magnetic. It’s entropic. So when the shots go bad, then it’s a win- people get sick and the medical system funnels the money to the black hole. (Wanna see how fast we can get a national health care system in the US? Didn’t some state introduce a vaccine injury compensation law?)
    Everything that looks like an error works to get all the little energy packets into the black hole’s system.
    Freebies and unfunded obligations have to be covered: hey great grand-kiddies! You are born with a million dollar debt on the books- talk about original sin!

    In the Before Christ years, classic Mediterranean societies coined money via the kind/priests complex, and did so according to censuses whereby every ten years or so, the money supply was adjusted to fit the amount of available material wealth. A command economy in terms of finance.

    Banking didn’t exist back then. Money-lenders were just another form of entrepreneurial business not much pursued.

    But there was a disparity between gold/silver prices in China and Mediterranean Eurasia that let the few people hip to it make fortunes by buying gold in the east and selling it in the west (or something like that; I forget exactly where gold or silver was cheaper/higher.

    The Levant, where JC lived, was the crossroads where these two price environments met albeit with nearly total ignorance by everyone except the money-changers who’d learned of this inequity of price. If you went a few 100 miles either way, the locals knew only one price for gold and silver, had no clue about price differences elsewhere, so a savvy trader could buy, say, silver in what is now Pakistan and sell it in Jerusalem or Cairo or such and make a nifty profit.

    This began the financialization of economies that has become ubiquitous in today’s global village. This may be what upset JC so much about money-changers at the temple. This is also, it seems, how the Jews became so associated with banking. The Diaspora and gradual demonization of Jews caused them to lean heavily on the money trade. Probably drove locals nuts figuring out how the Jews could arrive so poor and soon be rich.

    Kings caught on that certain banking types seemed to always be able to raise capital for them to do things like raise armies, thus forging the initial bankers/kings/military combo we nowadays call the milindustrial complex. It was by no means a Jewish monopoly but they did predominate in the trade, and in a way, being cultural nomads helped expand their trade while keeping it secret.

    The kings would always borrow too heavily, and dilute their currency, and generally turn their currency to shit, in time crashing their economy and typically, their kingdom.

    The banksters would move elsewhere.

    Recently they moved from London to Manhattan and now seem bent on moving to Beijing?

    I can’t remember the name of the obscure book that taught me this, but it was impeccably referenced and thought out.

    What most history books on money teach lack this information entirely, although that may be changing since I read the book 6 years ago.

    Except that money isn’t energy, and when you have WAYYYY more money on the books than energy/stuff tha is either avilable to be bought or that can be made available to be bought, the black hole collapses in on itself.

    Money is just an idea, after all.

    For the humor inclined, DeSantis signs legislation, a part of which seeks to replace OSHA in the state, that forbids vaccine mandates. Signed in Brandon, FL.

    ““I think Brandon, Fla., is a great American city,” DeSantis said. The crowd cheered and repeated the Brandon chant.

    “We’re proud to be able to make a stand for freedom in Brandon, Fla.,” the governor said”

    The previous link and the Oklahoma National Guard order looks to be looking like states might be organizing to break away from Washington, if states decided to form a pact. What? Feds want their weapons back? Come get em’, or try. Can’t start new wars if the reserves don’t comply either. Another shitlib mantra bites the dust.

    “The Stitt administration is confident they have the authority to defy the Biden administration – as top spokesperson, Charlie Hannema, told the Army Times that the “only way Oklahoma would ‘forfeit’ any federal funding for failing to comply with Title 32 would be to ignore the lawful order of the dually elected civilian authority, i.e. The Governor of Oklahoma.”

    National Guard Bureau spokesperson, Air Force Maj. Matthew Murphy, begged to differ – telling Stars & Stripes that the vax mandate was a “legal gray area that would have to be reviewed by our lawyers.”

    “The analysis suggests that the relative protection of the booster shot against infection is likely to be significantly smaller than the initial estimates of 10-11-fold (over 90%) reported by the MOH, probably around 60% at best. This also implies that the absolute number of infected individuals in the Vaccinated group is likely to be at least as high as in the Unvaccinated, raising serious concerns that the new Green Pass is inefficient in preventing infection spread, and could expose high risk individuals to risk.”

    In my views…(Translation: ego. All the world is ME.)

    This is one of the pitfalls of modern times ~ Everyone’s opinion(s) is utmost! & they’re looking for a cult(s) that matches it.

    No shame = No consequences for WRONG thinking/choices that led directly to disastrous outcomes in personal, public & professional relationships.

    Don’t judge me man!

    Oh, & don’t try to condemn my circular logic just because it defies the Laws of the Universe!!!

    Everyone is special & unique! Ribbons all around, even for those that didn’t do anything!

    Tests are RACISTS! IQ is DISCRIMINATION. Laws are WRONG!

    We have now arrived in the Twilight Zone where no one is special, except TPTB which convinced US to abandon OUR societal safeguards in the name of #CULT fascistic goals.

    Healthy, robust societies have social mores, lines of normalcy to be honored, which rein in child EGO fantastical thinking & behaviour…

    Western civ has surrendered ALL boundaries of reason, logic, decency to the point that only psychopaths that bring Da Feelz’ Goodz are followed ~ Cult preachers that promise superior acceptance of degenerative mass psychosis, never mind the skeletons in their closets!

    I get it- I sound like a rothschildian trivium. I can’t find the paper on economies as thermodynamics, but I like to try on other people’s hypotheses and walk around in them for a while.
    I do believe that nearly everything that happens pushes money towards money. Every bit of legislation that tries to stop it only ends up exacerbating it.
    Funny, that.

    Bosco, nice discernment about separating the Establishment, Inc. narrative from its child victims.

    existential hysteria disorder

    You didn’t make that up, you OBSERVED it and named it, which is what any ANIMATED human being ought to be doing with their mind!

    Reality is out there, but often ignored or misnamed… renaming it correctly is necessary to discern truth…

    @Germ: When I first heard about the vaunted “booster” shots, I knew that each successive one would afford the “jabbee” even less protection than the previous one, until it reached the point where boosters stopped having an effect (though I wouldn’t be surprised if those who experienced temporary adverse effects with the second shot experienced increasingly severe AE with each successive booster).

    I suppose this makes me an “anti-vaxxer”, nevermind the fact that I’m very happy with every vaccine I have so far received and would get them again if I were somehow sent back in time to do my life over. In fact, that’s one of the very few things I have no regrets at all about!

    Money is just an idea, after all.

    “money….MONEY??? There ain’t no stinking money.
    there is only POWER, and ILLUSION.”
    ~A Rothschild

    “I have already stated many times the so called financial markets are a complete FABRICATION! So their collapse, or rise, is by definition, STAGED! The creation and dissolution of wealth which never existed in REALITY!
    FAITH BASED!
    Laughing out Loud!”
    ~A Rothschild

    And he’s 100% correct in both counts… that’s why his family is ABOVE THE MONEY SYSTEM ITSELF, and property taxes, which contractually assigns your homes, land, vehicles as COLLATERAL to that $40 trillion in government debt… and wait until those interest rates go to 10% or more.

    Free market? There is no way the credit risk of the US matches the interest rate — it is totally rigged by an insider cartel to blow the biggest bubble in human history, which will lead to the biggest collapse in human history… and this time the Money Power IS DONE PROPPING THIS B* UP!

    The GRIND will commence… and remember, every time Money Power Fascist Empire kills off one of your neighbors, or dupes them into killing themselves off, or pays a medical professional to kill them for cash, well, YOUR PORTION OF THE DEBT GOES UP!

    The last ordinary American standing will owe about $80 trillion all by him/herself!

    The GREATER GOOD, indeed!

    Bosco, Thanks for the historical narrative. I wonder if that narrative matches up well with Money, The Last 6,000 Years, or whatever the title is. I ought to speed read that thing.

    I will add that “the Jews” never controlled money, rather, it was certain select ELITES within the Jewish community that did, but they didn’t want all the heat, so they programmed the masses to tie banking to Jewish people, even though 99.99% of Jews had nothing to do with banking. Or, maybe, they just got lucky and the prejudice/jealousy of non-Jew’s blinded themselves.

    Just ask bankrupt Israelites today how many of them are running the debt-based banking fraud that has bankrupted and asset strip them… I bet you can find a single one randomly in the streets — even if you spent a year trying! But, h*ll, call me Bigotry Buzzkill… lol

    Same with thinking.

    But thinking is, in MY opinion, hugely overrated and mostly destructive. I do it way too much for my peace of mind but addiction is addiction.

    Still, I manage to clear my mind several times a day and let innefable peace, wonder, fulfillment, sadness, and joy flow through me with little to no conscious rational examination but rather, a quiet reflection like a pond at dusk.

    At this point I trust the entire medical/pharma industry only a little more than I would trust a nazi if I was a Jew in 1930s-1940s Germany.

    Remember the stories of the unvaxxed being forcefully injected while under anesthesia during hospital stays?

    Well, you can add my mother to that nightmare, as suddenly her medical chart shows Pfizer cytotoxin was injected in her, twice, without our authorization 😐

    A> I also realize We don’t know what we don’t know. Like the initials stories of vax control groups getting saline, with researchers finding -0- mRNA cytotoxins within certain marked vials?

    B> Then later certain researchers released data/info indicating that mRNA cytotoxin manufacturers were unable to accurately control levels of nano-tech particle concentration in vax production?

    B may have (probably) been misinterpreted as A, but who knows with all the misinfo being spread by the mRNA CULT(s)?!?

    Moreover, the #ANTILOGOS bots attacking Ivermectin always neglect (purposely?) to mention IVM is just PART of a protocol to prevent/treat bioWEAPON attack….

    Nevermind that IVM is a bonafide MIRACLE drug all on its own, that has benefited BILLIONS, with an efficacy-to-side effect ratio that Pfizer could only dream of!

    What we do know from the data points is that mRNA vaccines are immediately dangerous when given @ dosage.

    We also know any & all attempts to discover the truth about the vaccines, or that of CCP/NIH bioWEAPON(s) themselves, has been impeded if not outright quashed from the very start…

    Anyone defending or promoting this deceptive, surreptitious & TOTALITARIAN behavior by the apparatchiks + the medical/pharma industry is an enemy of the Infinite’s children.

    P.S. I have purchased IVM paste, which I later switched for IVM injectable (2X 500ml) for oral use from:

    https://vic.pharmacy/search/products/Ivermectin

    I suggest you order immediately if you need it, stock is dwindling + I’m sure the bots will try to cancel them now 😐

    I’m not sure, but it feels a lot like the same guy. He might have rewritten the book in condensed form. The original was a few hundred pages of difficult prose but excellent information and analysis.

    It mentions the silver/gold price imbalance. The name rings a bell but wishful thinking is a mnemonic carillon, so it’s probably just me doing my Charles Laughton impersonation.

    “Bosco- you summoned the trivium!”

    I have no problem with Trivium that I don’t have with many posters here, many of whom exhibit a bit of mono-focus and express themselves with a strident intensity that looks an awful lot like arrogance; but he’s never gotten in my face nor have I seen him get in anyone else’s face, and he remains true to his particular code, best I can tell.

    Brains/psyches/emotions come in many flavors. So long as a person doesn’t negatively project onto me, I’m cool with it. While Triv’s style is not my cup of tea, I often learn things from him when I read his stuff. It takes all kinds.

    Works for me.

    @userzeroid: a thoughtful post. Appreciate your perspective. Interested in this:

    “Where’s the incentive? I can buy a set of oils and canvas and paint much like the masters did, yet I do not need the church in order to fund a huge overhead in the cost of raw materials. Ditto music, cooking, video/film, photography, study of astronomy, geography and many many others. I could do it all if I choose to. Yet I am missing the spirit of all these things. Who would appreciate it? There are those who are doing stellar work in these fields and we are missing the wonder of the human element of creativity, instead ensnared in a hideous power play between the rulers and predatory forces out to squeeze every penny of revenue and ounce of consent to manipulate the laws of society in order for them to game the system. It’s human nature that is our greatest enemy and nothing has changed since time immemorial.”

    The incentive is wherever YOU are. The only thing stopping you from being a creative is YOU. Pull yourself out of the game through awareness….transcend the dark side of Human Nature by going beyond it. This is possible – and essential. It begins with you choosing to connect, to take action with awareness. Even daily tasks present opportunity, they are like a blank canvas where you “develop” a masterpiece by applying yourself to it. One may not love the work, the task, the project at hand, but that does not matter. What matters is how YOU choose to fulfill your commitment. When you find focus, purpose, joy, creativity in your effort – then it becomes an act of LOVE. Work with LOVE. Write with LOVE. Garden with LOVE. Clean the house with LOVE. Every act of LOVE is an act of resistance.

    LOVE to all.

    COVID Gets Even Redder

    The gap in COVID’s death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point.

    In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from COVID, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000). October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in Trump counties and Biden counties widened.
