“If There Were Side Effects, We’d Have Seen Them By Now” (Uncut)

Changes to the Online Harms bill threaten prison for anyone spreading what the Government call “Covid disinformation”. Yesterday, the Financial Times newspaper carried a piece on vaccination for children, quoting paediatrician Petter Brodin, who says “vaccination offers safe, more controlled exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 than infection”. He goes on claim that “the jabs also carry a lower risk of unintended consequences”. If more children have a Covid-19 jab after parents read Brodin’s comments and subsequently suffer injuries or death – facts that have been reported to three separate adverse events reporting systems in the UK, EU and US – will Brodin be held responsible? Will he be threatened with prison for “Covid-19 disinformation”? Today, we are helping Petter Brodin by publishing – again – figures from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency [MHRA], together with real-life accounts from two people severely affected after taking a Covid jab.

Anti-vaxxers Who Changed Their Minds On Covid Vaccines (G.)

Alexis Danielsen sat down and rolled up her sleeve. When the shot went into her arm, one thought flooded her mind: “Finally!” It was May 2021, and she was receiving her first Covid shot – in fact, her first immunization of any kind. She was 39. Danielsen grew up in an anti-vaccine household, views she held well into adulthood. When her son was born, she declined all vaccines for him. Then she hit a personal crisis, and started rethinking all of her beliefs – including on vaccinations. It was like pulling on a thread and watching an entire sweater unravel, she said. “The Covid vaccine was the only logical choice after really re-evaluating what I believe in, what I actually believe is true,” Danielsen said.

Danielsen partly credits her about-face to Lydia Greene and Heather Simpson, the Canada-based founders of Back to the Vax, a support group for people like themselves: one-time vaccine skeptics who’d had a change of heart. “I want to be able to help stop people from going down that road, having been down it myself,” said Greene, now a nursing student. They say their goal is to help families find evidence-based answers to their questions. Vaccine hesitancy was a growing problem even before the pandemic, particularly among parents. Now, nearly one-third of American parents are opposed to vaccinating their children against Covid-19. Although parents still have a lot of questions about vaccines, advocates say that answering them can help.

Online support and in-person community groups can help address longstanding hesitations, some of which arise from poor experiences in the medical system. For example, parents tell Greene they are still waiting for more information to come out on the Covid vaccines before deciding whether to vaccinate their children. “What’s missing is that, in the US right now, millions of children in that age group have been vaccinated and are followed closely with V-Safe and other databases to show the safety of the vaccine,” Greene said. Parents also believe that Covid is mild in children and poses a low risk to them. But kids can suffer from long-term effects – and continued transmission also affects their emotional wellbeing. In the US, more than 167,000 children have lost a caregiver to the virus, Greene said. “We’re seeing this massive epidemic of not just Covid but kids becoming orphans before their time.”

NZ Covid Outbreak ‘Like Nothing We’ve Experienced’: Ardern. Cases Skyrocket (G.)

New Zealand’s prime minister has warned that the country is entering a new phase of its pandemic response that is “like nothing we’ve experienced to date”, as case numbers begin to explode. “We are embarking for the first time in the two years since the start of the outbreak into a period where New Zealanders will see more Covid in the community,” Jacinda Ardern said on Monday. “It is a period of disruption and, I know, of risk and will be like nothing we’ve experienced to date.” Ardern was speaking to reporters after a political reporter produced a positive rapid antigen test moments before the press conference. The empty seats in front of her – and the decision to forge on with the standup regardless – helped illustrate the new era for New Zealand, in which the government expects Omicron to reach every part of the country.

New Zealand has been reporting near-daily record highs in case numbers, as infections begin to hit an exponential growth curve. On Monday, officials announced 981 cases in the community, up from previous all-time highs of 810 on Sunday and 454 the day before. The latest additions mean there are 4,960 active cases recorded across Aotearoa – but experts say the true number is likely much higher, given the lag in test results, and the fact testing is only advised for those with symptoms or who have been a direct contact of a case.

Pelosi Just Gave The Game Away (CTH)

We have been looking for this exact political construct and today we got it. Nancy Pelosi appears on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos to discuss current events. This was all planned in advance. This is guaranteed to be a political pantomime. The first topic is the “Russia-Ukraine crisis,” with Stephanopoulos asking Pelosi directly if she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to invade Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi’s response tells us all we need to hear:

PELOSI: “Well, I think we have to be prepared for it. And that is what the president is — yes, I do believe that he is prepared for an invasion. I also understand why the President of Ukraine wants to keep people calm and that he wants his economy not to suffer. But, on the other hand, if we were not threatening the sanctions and the rest, it would guarantee that Putin would invade. Let’s hope that diplomacy works. It’s about diplomacy deterrence. Diplomacy deterrence. And the president’s made it very clear. There’s a big price to pay for Russia to go there. So, if Russia doesn’t invade, it’s not that he never intended to. It’s just that the sanctions worked.” … “I’m very proud of the work that the president has done.”

Can you see the domestic political scenario that has been created out of thin air? Democrats need a win on something; anything, to shift the narrative and change the reality of their failure into an illusion of success. First, accuse Vladimir Putin of doing something he never intends to do, a fabricated scenario. Second, tell the world you will strongly respond to the fabricated scenario. Third, tell the world the exact date when the fabricated scenario is supposed to happen. Then, when the fabricated scenario never happens, it is because you are so brilliant and strong to have outmaneuvered and cowed the Russians.

Zelensky Asks Biden To Visit Ukraine (RT)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on his US counterpart Joe Biden to fly into Kiev “in the coming days.” The invitation, which was made by Zelensky during a phone call with Biden on Sunday, comes as several nations, including the US itself, ordered most of their diplomatic staff out of the Ukrainian capital citing fears of a possible Russian invasion. “I am convinced that your arrival in Kiev in the coming days, which are crucial for stabilizing the situation, will be a powerful signal and contribute to de-escalation,” Zelensky told Biden, according to a statement issued by his press service. As the US, UK, Israel, Australia and other countries have urged their nationals to leave Ukraine by all means available, Zelensky insisted that Kiev, as well as other major Ukrainian cities, were “safe and under reliable protection.”


A trip to the capital, however, does not appear to be on Biden’s schedule, CNN reported, citing US officials saying that such a visit would be “extremely unlikely.” “A senior Ukrainian official” told the channel that Biden gave “no positive response” to the invitation during the call. The White House’s readout of the Sunday call made no mention of the invitation either. It noted only that Biden promised Zelensky to “respond swiftly and decisively, together with its allies and partners, to any further Russian aggression against Ukraine.” Several media outlets have attempted to predict the most likely day for a Russian invasion, with Bloomberg reporting that it would take place as soon as on Wednesday – even though Russia has insisted it has no plans to invade its neighbor.

Ukrainian Ambassador Says Kiev ‘Might’ Drop Bid To Join NATO (RT)

Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko has appeared to raise the possibility that Kiev could give up its bid to join US-led NATO for the sake of preventing a major conflict with Russia, while admitting that such a proposition would go against his country’s principal law. Asked by BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Stephen Nolan on Sunday if his country might “contemplate not joining NATO” to avert a war, Prystaiko responded: “We might, you know, especially [having] been threatened like that, blackmailed by that, and pushed to it.” He then appeared to indicate that some representatives of the military bloc have also rallied behind that option. “You know, we will sometimes hear voices from NATO that ‘Guys, maybe, really, we will be able to avoid…’” the ambassador said, trailing off mid-sentence.

However, Prystaiko then went on to lament the fact that Ukraine is not part of any military alliance at present, unlike some other countries bordering Russia. He noted that Kiev will have to face the music alone if a crisis like the current one spirals into a military conflict. “We will again stay unprotected by anybody, by any friends, not being a member of any alliance, when everybody, all the neighbors of ours, are already in the organization,” the diplomat said, referring to Poland, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. He argued that these countries’ status as NATO member states “did not change the security of Russia,” insisting that the “addition” of Ukraine wouldn’t change it either.

Asked by Nolan to clarify his remark on NATO so that it is not “lost in translation,” Prystaiko appeared to confirm that Kiev might reconsider its aspirations to join the bloc, but admitted that by saying so he goes “a bit against” the constitution of Ukraine, which since 2019 includes a provision making membership in NATO a strategic goal for the government. “What I’m saying here is that we are flexible, trying to find the best way out. If you have to go through some serious concessions, that’s something we might do, that’s for sure,” the ambassador concluded.

Putin ‘Doesn’t Give A S*** About Sanctions’ – Russian Diplomat (JTN)

Russian leader Vladimir Putin “doesn’t give a s***” about sanctions,” said Russian Ambassador to Sweden Viktor Tatarintsev. The sanctions even helped the Russian economy, the diplomat told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in an interview published Saturday evening which was translated by The Independent. “Excuse my language, but we don’t give a s*** about all their sanctions,” he told the outlet. “We have already had so many sanctions, and in that sense, they’ve had a positive effect on our economy and agriculture.” U.S. President Joe Biden has threatened sanctions against Russia if it invades Ukraine. The Kremlin is already subject to various sanctions over its 2014 capture of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula and human rights abuses, among other things.


“New sanctions are nothing positive but not as bad as the West makes it sound,” Tatarintsev said. “The more the West pushes Russia, the stronger the Russian response will be.” He told the outlet that the sanctions have helped Russia make products that are “just as good.” “We are more self-sufficient and have been able to increase our exports,” Tatarintsev said. “We have no Italian or Swiss cheeses, but we’ve learned to make just as good Russian cheeses using Italian and Swiss recipes.” Even though about 100,000 Russian troops are massed along the Ukrainian border, the diplomat stated that the Kremlin wants to avoid war. “That is our political leadership’s most sincere wish,” he told Aftonbladet. “The last thing people in Russia want is war.”

‘Oligarchs’ Flee Ukraine – Media (RT)

Local media reports have suggested that an exodus of Ukraine’s richest people, including its so-called ‘oligarchs’, is in full swing. A report published by the Ukrayinska Pravda newspaper on Sunday claimed that “about 20 charters and private jets” departed from Kiev on that day alone. The newspaper noted that one of the private jets spotted leaving Ukrainian airspace on Sunday was allegedly owned by Ukraine’s richest man, Rinat Akmetov, whose net worth is estimated at about $7.1 billion, according to Forbes. Pravda reported that the billionaire himself left the country on January 30, however. Ukraine’s second-richest man and fellow steel magnate, Victor Pinchuk, reportedly departed at the end of last month as well.

Both men help to fund The Atlantic Council, a NATO adjacent lobby group, which pushes for Kiev to join the military bloc. Those who Pravda alleged had “fled” Ukraine in the recent days included prominent politician and businessman Vadym Novynskyi, who has an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion; Ukraine’s ninth-richest man, Oleksandr Yaroslavsky; former Verkhovna Rada lawmaker and businessman, Vadim Stolar; and several other high-flying figures – many of whom featured in Forbes Ukraine magazine’s list of its 100 richest people. A number of lawmakers also reportedly scrambled to exit Ukraine. The newspaper said, citing sources, that representative of the Eurosceptic Opposition Platform – For Life party and businessman Igor Abramovych booked a private jet for 50 people to transport them to Vienna, Austria.

Some of the people mentioned in the report as having “fled” Ukraine, however, have already dismissed the claim. For instance, businessman and leader of Ukraine is Our Home party Borys Kolesnikov, who, according to Pravda, left the country on Sunday, called the report “fake news.” “The deceitful and habitually manipulative outlet is, as usual, lying. I’m in Kiev, and I’m not going anywhere until March 1 (The Champions League Final, which takes place in Switzerland),” Kolesnikov wrote on Facebook, threatening to sue the newspaper.

Most Democrats Want Hillary Clinton Investigated For Russiagate (Sperry)

A surprisingly large share of Democrats wants to see Hillary Clinton investigated over her possible role in manufacturing dirt to try to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, a new poll shows. The survey, conducted by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics in New Jersey last month, polled 1,308 Americans about the mushrooming investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into the FBI’s probe of Trump’s alleged links to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. Nearly three out of four of those polled who are following the story said they think it’s important prosecutors investigate Clinton for her role in the Russiagate scandal along with her top campaign advisers. That includes two-thirds — or 66 percent — of the Democrats polled who said they have been keeping up with the case.


That’s up 20 points from this past October, when TIPP asked the same question of a national panel, and indicates the Durham probe may be turning Democratic opinion regarding Clinton and the controversy. Meanwhile, 91 percent of Republicans in the same group and 65 percent of Independents also called for Clinton to specifically be investigated. Durham has already charged Clinton campaign subcontractor Igor Danchenko for allegedly lying about the sourcing behind the debunked so-called Steele dossier he helped compile, which attempted to frame Trump as a Kremlin agent. Danchenko, a former Brookings Institution analyst, completely fabricated the source for the dossier’s most explosive allegations, according to the indictment. It turns out he also allegedly used a Clinton campaign adviser as another key source for other dirt he gathered. Danchenko was arrested in October and has pleaded not guilty.

Free Speech Becomes Roadkill In The Crackdown On Canadian Truckers (Turley)

Canada appears to be facing its greatest threat since Benedict Arnold came close to seizing Ottawa in 1775. The source of this “insurrection” and “attack on democracy,” however, is not a foreign government but Canadians who have descended on their own capital to protest continuing COVID-19 mandates. The protest has been peaceful — and highly successful in cutting off key highways. But the most alarming development has not come from the convoy but from the commentary about it, including calls for mass arrests and even vigilantism. The Ottawa Police Services Board chairman has called it a “nationwide insurrection,” adding, “Our city is under siege.”


CNN analyst and Harvard professor Juliette Kayyem was apoplectic at the thought of truckers shutting down roads and interfering with trade. She tweeted out a call to “slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks.” CNN correspondent Paula Newton said this act of civil disobedience was nothing less than a “threat to democracy. An insurrection, sedition.” Blocking streets, occupying buildings and shutting down bridges have long been tactics of protesters. Yet what constitutes a protest or an insurrection often seems to depend on the cause involved. When rioters caused billions of dollars in damages, burned police stations and occupied sections of American cities in the summer of 2020, for example, few in the media declared them to be terrorists or a threat to democracy.

But CNN’s Kayyem once called conservative protesters occupying a state capital to be “domestic terrorists.” GoFundMe, which previously helped fund arrested Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters, froze more than $10 million raised for Canadian truckers to prevent it from being used to support them. After the money was frozen by GoFundMe, supporters switched to GiveSendGo to “adopt a trucker.” The Canadian government then moved successfully to freeze millions of donations to the truckers, and the Supreme Court of Canada approved the freeze in a major blow to free speech and associational rights in Canada.


In the meantime, the government has demonized the convoy. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who praised truckers just two years ago as heroes, has denounced them as “trying to blockade our economy, our democracy.” This is the same Trudeau who praised BLM protesters and stressed that “I have attended protests and rallies in the past when I agreed with the goals, when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues, Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that.”

Greek national broadcaster ERT did an -almost live- item on the Monastiraki kitchen yesterday. My friend Vasso “translated” part of it. I don’t really know how to make it a separate article. The lovely Filothei is speaking.

Monastiraki Kitchen On Greek TV

She says they do not ask for money but for tomato sauce pasta rice or a voucher for a super market and they send you back the receipt. They also need volunteers to help in food preparation. Their saucepan is for 500 portions every Tuesday at 4.30. Then the reporter asks how the recipients find food the other days of the week and she mentions a place in Peiraeus as well as Allos anthropos. Then she is asked what she sees in the streets as a photographer and she says pain. Also at the beginning she says that they are now in the basement because of the rain.

    “Americans need to redirect their anger over skyrocketing prices.” –THE REIDOUT BLOG, MSNBC

    But MSNBC, you just said yesterday inflation is a GOOD thing! Especially for the poor.

    “How a popular Black tabloid helped spread racist, conservative talking points” –THE REIDOUT BLOG, MSNBC

    If they’re Conservative they are racist. And also not black. Ask Biden. And not as black as Trudeau.

    Remember quote yesterday from Fredrick Douglas? Who would be a Republican. Well he sure wasn’t a Southern Democrat!

    Boosters? Well the timing does makes sense. They bought 10 shots per person the day the vaccine was made. They’re the same product, so they just call #3, #4, and so on “Boosters”, up to however many they can manage to sell, and whatever trollop they have to tell you to sell them.

    Now, since Trump created this vaccine they said was impossible to make, they didn’t want, and would never take, they put the money from the sales of Trump vaccine into their crime syndicate to back-fill all the losses plus the territory they’d been losing like Afghanistan trafficking. It spreads out from Pfizer to BlackRock and keeps them not whole, but within the ring of power because it’s very expensive to make people do what they don’t want to do, surveil governments and bully people, but very cheap to leave them alone.

    Now that is shut off again, just like before. And they are broke and the circle of power is failing like before. They can’t pay into Ukraine. They can’t pay their gas bill. They can’t even shut down a few uppity workers. What to do? They need money or they need action or the world will find out they’re weak, broke, and irrelevant. Start a war.

    And we can’t really stop them. Any large crime syndicate collapsing is going to have these stages and risks. They are violent people and you made them desperate in order to end them. There are too many to get them all in the same hour, and if they don’t think they can win they’ll nuke Seattle and release smallpox. No joke, many books about loose weapons over the years.

    “‘Oligarchs’ Flee Ukraine – Media (RT)”

    Sounds pretty useful if your goal is to end the organized crime syndicate. They can’t be as powerful in flight as in their castle.

    “Third, tell the world the exact date when the fabricated scenario is supposed to happen. Then, when the fabricated scenario never happens, it is because you are so brilliant”

    Four, keep Europe a helpless lackey under U.S. control to claw life-giving money/compliance out of them.

    More random comments while trying to understand Ukraine:

    “I think the original plan months ago by the US was to falsely direct a Ukie unit to attack Lugansk or Donetsk, cover it with propaganda, blame the LDNR military, and get the Russians to put some units into Ukraine. If this plan was uncovered by Russian Intel, and it likely was, then Russia upped the ante with this full pressure campaign to once-and-for-all end the NATO threat which would have come into Ukraine.All the signs are that NATO intended to establish inside Ukraine and then cover Ukraine with article 5 protection.

    They underestimated Russian willingness to go to a deep, wide war that would destroy Kiev, the Baltic midgets and Poland.”

    “We will again stay unprotected by anybody, by any friends,” – Ukraine.

    Sounds like something changed. This fits the U.S. retreat narrative. And the original plan suggested above.

    The option to go to war is incredibly expensive compared to naming Ukraine a neutral state, removing the missiles in East Europe, and going back to 1997 limits of NATO.
    The problem for the US is in order to save their own economy, they have to destroy the Russia-EU connections and take over industry from West European centers, making the EU market theirs.
    They see the only way to that goal is to brand Russia an aggressor nation and destroy it in war.
    Russia has made the cost of that plan for the US/EU/NATO existential for the West. Russia will destroy them and can do it completely with conventional weapons. This is why they have no qualms about war.
    The US cannot win a war without going nuclear, which means they will be obliterated by Russian nukes.
    Only Russia can win this pressure situation. And they have several paths to victory. There is no path to victory for the US

    .”

    I’ve also heard the suggestion that Russia’s navy, while moving to the Black Sea, now has 100 ships off Syria. Taking all of Syria and restoring it to legal control would be the perfect foil to the Ukraine nonsense.

    Unexpected. Stops the UAE+ pipeline to Europe permanently. If I were him, at the same time putting all Turkey and the straits entirely into Russian control. Then no U.S. Navy there ever again. Sort of your “Suez Canal” moment.

    And a topper: “Ukraine’s President Demands Proof from US over Alarmist Russian Invasion Claims”

    Apparently when he looks out his front window now he does NOT see 100,000 troops? But Maddow and Stelter can?

    I’ve been trying to find a way to phrase this properly:

    Russia is saying “The West is at the front door. There is nowhere left for us to retreat.”

    But the West says in order not to be “aggressive”, they have to remove the Russian army from the Rostov and Voronezh Oblasts and into Siberia, surrendering Moscow to the front lines.

    So what do you want Russia to do? Are they supposed to retreat from inside their own borders?

    The Anglos say “Yes. You must retreat from inside your own territory immediately or it’s WWIII.”

    Who is the aggressor again? What do you think must happen when you do this? Is that an clearer way to see how inflammatory, ridiculous, and without any legal, moral, or ethical basis?

    It had to come here. Nothing but a Cuban Crisis and collapsing Suez Moment would allow things to change and be new. Letting everyone have something to point to and say, “The empire is over.”

    “U.S. Border Overwhelmed with Refugees Trying to Escape Canada” –BBBee

    WINDSOR—ICE agents are overwhelmed as thousands of desperate refugees from Canada have flooded the U.S. northern border to claim asylum. The crowd, now numbering in the tens of thousands, is attempting to escape fierce political oppression by Fidel Castro’s tyrant son in Ottawa.

    “Hey, come on there buddy, just let us in, eh?” said asylum-seeker Tim Pokadoke. “So sorry to bug ya but Trudeau’s killin’ us up here, ya know?”

    Intelligence experts confirmed that Canadians are facing unprecedented political and religious persecution. They also confirmed early intelligence reports that indicated Trudeau is a “sad, scared little girly man who has to oppress working people to feel like a big boy.”

    Canadians at the border are hoping their requests for asylum will be granted so they may breathe the sweet, pure air of American freedom.

    UPDATE: U.S. officials informed the Canadian refugees that the border was closed and that they would have to sail down to the southern border and cross there like everyone else.

    The UAE and Iran are going to cooperate on pipeline from the vast Pars gas field, and the US has already, basically conceded the point, over which they instigated the “civil-war” in Syria. US still blocks any pipeline from Pars gas field to Europe, which is supposed to compete with Russia, and reduce Russian energy-war soft-power.

    Events are not going according to THAT plan , lately…

    In Canada too, judges tend to be creatures of politics but in ways less obvious than the elected judges of the United States. All Canadian judges derive their positions from selection processes led by elected officials. In the current climate, this process of judicial appointment seems to make the Canadian judiciary more prone to go along with government initiatives done in the name of fighting COVID-19.

    Corrupt Judges and Elected Politicians in Lockstep with Covid Mandate. A Power-Grab at Levels Never Before Seen in the History of the World?

    They have not seriously investigated the arguments that the aggressive restrictions on civil liberties have been completely disproportionate with the actual scale of the supposed medical emergency. Judges have not been diligent in following evidence-based science. Instead of doing due diligence, most judicial arbiters of the restrictions done in the name of emergency measures in Canada have been content to accept at face value government rationales for government policies and actions.

    Timezone: How do you sleep during a nuclear war and economic collapse?

    The Truckers may be playing Whack-a-Mole with the border. I’ve heard they set up at a few other crossings already, supported by thousands of Canadians, and the farmers. …Naturally not reported. Somewhat justified: moving to 5 small crossings is not as newsworthy. That’s good strategy: What happens otherwise? You make a stand at Windsor and win or lose everything in an hour. That’s not the point and violent, lying psychopaths in government have plans for this. If instead you keep a general strike going for ever-more weeks, showing support everywhere, they can keep the opposition legitimized and going for years. So long as there is opposition, and they have to present the illusion of elections, you’ll get voted in.

    ““…talking to protesters, that’s out of the question. As Politico recently put it, the “conspiratorial mindset” of the demonstrators means “sitting down with them could legitimize their concerns.” Since we can’t under any circumstances have that, the only option left is the military “eventuality.” Or, as former Obama Deputy Homeland Security Secretary and CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem (the same person who went nanny-bonkers over the Southwest Air “Let’s Go Brandon” incident) put it, “Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks.”

    Any sane person should be able to see where any of these ideas would lead. The problem is, we’re heading into our third decade of Western leaders embracing not thinking ahead as a core national security concept. It’s like these people went to anti-governing school.” –Taibbi

    Keep Talking. But they cannot as they have no argument. They make no sense. They have nothing to give, only take. I’ve lost track of all the self-contradictory nonsense, there’s so many hundreds, thousands per day no one can track them all anymore. That’s like France in 1789, (“Let them drink Margaritas”) or Soviet Glastnost, where everything is discredited. “There is no Pravda in Izvestiya and there is no Izvestiya in Pravda” (Pravda means “Truth” and Izvestiya means “News”.) That’s your CNN now, but not only them, as of last week, that was your State Department. They asked if the reporters trusted ISIS more than the U.S. State Dept, the reporter basically said “yes.” And correctly so, AGAIN as we found out yesterday. Same with Ukraine a week before with a different reporter. These ARE the “CNN” reporters bucking this. Imagine how much more the rest of us.

    Brian Peckford was the premier of Newfoundland Labrador in 1981 and is the last living premier that worked on and signed the charter of rights and freedoms. It was a combined effort of all the premiers and prime minister of the day. He just might have some idea of what is in it.

    Will this gain any traction?

    U.K. Vaccine Crime Investigation. Metropolitan Police and International Criminal Court (ICC)

    The complaints allege numerous serious crimes including misfeasance and misconduct in public office; gross negligence manslaughter; corporate manslaughter, murder, conspiracy to murder, genocide and crimes against humanity.

    The evidence submitted by Philip Hyland and Dr Sam White against the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is damning and shows they did not carry out due diligence surrounding the vaccine data, trials and studies; and that they continued to ignore the death, harm and injury the vaccines cause.

    Things may be heating up after all.

    Covid Vaccine Scientific Proof Lethal

    The “safe and effective” false propaganda, put out by public officials who now are continuing to push this vaccine, is a clear breach of duty. A public office holder is subject to, and aware of, a duty to prevent death or serious injury that arises only by virtue of the functions of the public office.

    Many have breached that duty and, in doing so, are recklessly causing a risk of death or serious injury, by carrying on regardless of the now-confirmed dangers associated with COVID 19 injections. Some of these risks are blood clotting, myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, anaphylaxis, Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barre, cancer including deaths, etc.

    All of these are confirmed in the following science-and-government-gathered data from the UK Health and Security agency on COVID 19 regarding vaccine damage.

    Are we prisoners in our own country or just in our own mind? Stress helps to disorient us to the point of confusion. I like to think most here have their feet firmly planted in reality. The way forward seems to be as clear as mud at this point. It was stated here yesterday the great minds think alike, as a kid in the sixties when I said such, one of my grandmothers would say “and fools seldom differ”. I live in fear of being the latter!

    I was thinking that if things got bad re. Vaxx mandates here in the UK, then I would re-apply for my US Green card and return to the USA – Florida.

    But, the CDC have now implemented a Covid Vaxx requirement in order to apply for a USA Green Card!

    Red: in the article you shared on covid vakz lethality, it says: “We can now confirm the 2017 depopulation defence-intelligence documents, showing the planned murder of over 55 million across the United Kingdom by 2025 using this biochemical weapon.”

    Can you direct us to those documents?

    Listening to the News these days is like an endless re-run of that ancient made for TV Western where some hapless guy gets shot and falls from an enormously high cliff. Eeeeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! . . . . . as he falls for what seems like hours to the rocks below. (side question : is that where the term “fall guy” comes from ? Predating the Gangster movie version of the same slang?) .

    Anyhow, getting back to the original metaphor, tuning in to the News is like entering the Twilight Zone, where the TV is always playing the same the same scene of the same movie . . . . Eeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaa!!!!!

    Any time, anywhere, night or day. I switch to the News and its just Eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

    tdk: I think there’s something symbolically, semiotically crucial about the masks. Abandoning the mask mandate kind of officially ends the gravy train.

    Let’s not let Dr. D’s bonus round of comments (from yesterday) slip away.

    “I don’t know though. Maybe I feel I didn’t sign up for this, playing Pooh sticks in the stream of a cool forest and looking where the stars meet the fireflies when I was younger. Maybe no man does, certainly not those at Sand Creek or Casa Grande. But this is earth. We are men, and even our allies are flawed. The run is much longer than you imagine as a child, and one must learn to tread with less urgency and more care. I’ve learned this much, but you can see how much harm less severity, less urgency, and too much safety and nice-speak can cause. I tried and can do no better. I can be patient and flattering, moderate and kind, but would it have got people to read the data and act faster? ”

    Your interpretation of the data (history and science) + understanding of humanity + a forum for CONVERSATION – pushed/pulled you in the only direction possible. The URGENCY of your contribution is UNDERSTOOD, and valued. Insisting we go forward by consistently showing a Way forward is the key to #WINNING.

    But this is earth! Indeed. Therefore even one person – one mind, one Heart, one pair of hands – INSPIRED and ENLIGHTENED by talking and living – with clarity of intention, can move mountains (the Himalayans within).

    “…but I didn’t leave, I stuck it out, that is the only way to care. To get out of this mess I have a responsibility to do right, and pray that others can find voice to as well if I do. Since only they can do their work and not me, the results have not been good, but we need to support that voice, and the freedom to have it, by all means required.”

    Yes. Well said. And now we are in “Bhavagad Gita territory” – where the true nature of the creation is revealed so that we fulfill our DESTINY here on earth. Living/experiencing life, in the quest to understand why we’re here, is our “work”. It’s an inside job. Our highest priority.
