White House Denies Biden Offered Putin ‘20% Of Ukraine’ (RT)

President Joe Biden allegedly sent CIA chief William Burns on a secret mission to Moscow and then Kiev in mid-January, according to a report in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NNZ) on Wednesday. The White House and the CIA both addressed the allegeations on Thursday, saying it was not true that the US had offered Russia 20% of Ukrainian territory as part of a peace proposal. According to confidential conversations with two German lawmakers dealing with foreign policy – one from the ruling coalition, the other from the opposition – Burns reportedly offered a “land for peace” deal in which Russia would keep some “20% of Ukraine’s territory” – about the size of the Donbass.

The Swiss-German newspaper mentioned the supposed proposal in passing, focusing on the chain of events that led to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Biden announcing they would send Leopard 2 and Abrams heavy tanks to the government in Kiev. The NZZ report is “not accurate” and the CIA will say the same, deputy spokesperson for the White House’ National Security Council, Sean Davett, told Newsweek. A CIA official then told the US outlet that reports of a secret Moscow trip by Burns, or a peace proposal on behalf of the White House were “completely false.” The Washington Post reported earlier that Burns had taken a secret trip to Kiev ahead of the tank announcement, in order to meet and brief Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.


From what the two German politicians told NZZ, the peace offer hinted at a split in Washington regarding the conflict. While Burns and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan want to wrap up the fighting in Ukraine quickly to focus on China, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin are committed to backing Kiev. The Swiss outlet further pointed to the recent report by the Rand Corporation, urging Washington to avoid a “long war” in Ukraine – among other reasons, so the US can focus on China. Both Ukraine and Russia refused the US proposal, NZZ claimed. Kiev said it was unwilling to give up any territory, while Moscow was confident of victory. Asked about the NZZ report, Russia’s first deputy permanent representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy told Newsweek he found it “interesting” but declined to comment on “speculation.”

“Why do people refuse to see the Nazi ideology that lies at the heart of the Kiev regime?”

German Politicians Eye Revival Of Fascism — Lavrov (TASS)

Seeking Russia’s defeat as the “final solution to the Russian question” is nothing more than Nazism and there are politicians in the West, for instance, in Germany, who wouldn’t be against resurrecting it, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a Thursday interview with TV news anchor Dmitry Kiselyov. According to the top diplomat, in its pursuit of “the final solution to the Russian question”, the West is gunning to hand Russia “a strategic defeat so it won’t recover for a long time.” “Is this not racism, is this not Nazism, is this not an attempt at the ‘final solution to the Russian question?” he pondered. “Yes, not yet in gas chambers at this point. There are still a lot of decent people in Germany who won’t permit the revival of Fascism but there are also those who wouldn’t be against it at all,” he insisted.


The Russian foreign minister noted that now, just like during the Great Patriotic War, Nazi dogma is being used against Russia.”Why do people refuse to see the Nazi ideology that lies at the heart of the Kiev regime?” he wondered. “And all these statements voiced by its enthusiasts and puppeteers are impossible to be perceived as anything other than an attempt at the final solution to the Russian question,” he stressed. “This is why we are in the epicenter of a geopolitical battle,” Lavrov stressed. “There is no sense in doubting this and those who are confronting practical tasks on the frontlines are doing the most important thing. They are heroes and the feats they perform are feats for the sake of mankind’s future,” he added.

“Lavrov: The United States directly participated in the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.”

Germany ‘Open’ To Idea West Behind Nord Stream Sabotage – The Times (RT)

German officials are “open to theories” that the sabotage of the Nord Stream undersea pipelines was carried out by a Western nation “with the aim of blaming it on Russia,” The Times reported. In a Wednesday report, the British newspaper described the mystery of who was behind the attacks as “one of the biggest questions of the 21st century.” The two pipelines, each of which has two strings, were damaged by explosions in late September. Germany, the recipient of Russian natural gas, for which the undersea energy routes were built, as well as Sweden and Denmark, in whose territorial waters the damage was done, are each running a separate investigation. Citing European officials, the Times said a failure to provide transparency in the probes risks encouraging “dangerous conspiracy theories” and “wild speculations.”

“This was a major infrastructure attack. It’s strange that we’ve heard very little,” an unidentified Western analyst was quoted as saying. The German investigation is thought to have made little progress and is “yet to uncover any compelling evidence” pointing to Russia, The Times said, adding that Berlin is “open to theories that a Western state carried out the bombing with the aim of blaming it on Russia.” It noted that 23 diplomatic and intelligence agencies across nine Western nations had also told the Washington Post recently that they had yet to see evidence implicating Russia and some said they did not believe Moscow was the culprit. Following the blasts, however, Kiev and some of its most-vocal backers were quick to assign blame on Russia, claiming that it damaged its own infrastructure to put pressure on the EU.


Mikhail Podoliak, an aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, explained the apparent irrationality of such a move, telling The Times that Moscow “relies on actions which are illogical but that it believes will intimidate.” The Russian government described the sabotage as a “terrorist attack” and said that the US was the nation that benefited most from it, by speeding up Europe’s attempts to wean itself off Russian gas. US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland declared that she was “gratified” with the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 project during a Congress hearing last week. Responding to the remark, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday that the US diplomat had essentially “confessed” Washington was behind the sabotage.

Lavrov: Moldova Could Become A New “Anti-Russia” (RT)

Moldova could follow in Ukraine’s footsteps and become a new “anti-Russia,” Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has suggested in an interview with the Russian media. The diplomat claimed that the West had installed a president in Chisinau who is hell-bent on bringing the former Soviet republic into the US-led fold. On Thursday, Russia’s RIA Novosti and Rossiya 24 media outlets published an interview with Lavrov. He was asked which country, in his opinion, could go down the same path as Ukraine and become an “anti-Russia.” The foreign minister responded by claiming the West was “currently considering Moldova for this role.” He said the country had been chosen primarily because the West succeeded in installing “through some very peculiar methods, far from free and democratic [ones],” a pliant president at the helm there.

Maia Sandu is “rushing into NATO” and “has Romanian citizenship,” Lavrov noted. The diplomat concluded that the Moldovan head of state is ready to merge her country with neighboring Romania and to “do practically anything.” Lavrov said the West and Moldova’s leadership have effectively put on hold the normalization process regarding the breakaway region of Transnistria in the 5+2 format. This involves the US and Russia, along with the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, as well as Moldova and Transnistria. He claimed that the new Moldovan government is no longer interested in the process and is considering retaking the region by force and booting Russian peacekeepers out of Transnistria. Late last month, President Sandu told Politico “there [was] a serious discussion” underway in Chisinau “about our capacity to defend ourselves, whether we can do it ourselves, or whether we should be part of a larger alliance.”


While she did not identify NATO directly, Sandu has consistently been pursuing pro-Western policies since coming to office back in 2020. Moldova was granted EU candidate status last year. It has also been actively cooperating with NATO in recent years, sending its troops to participate in the military bloc’s force in Kosovo. The Moldovan president held a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in New York in September 2021, and the country’s foreign minister attended a meeting of the organization in Romania last December. However, the outstanding issue of Transnistria precludes Moldova from becoming a member state of the US-led organization, as NATO requires all aspiring entrants to resolve all territorial and ethnic disputes first.

Serbia More Objective On Ukraine Conflict Than Other Nations – President (TASS)

Belgrade is capable of assessing the developments in Ukraine in the most objective manner because it refrains from putting labels on the parties to the conflict, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said at a special session of the country’s parliament on Thursday. “In Serbia, we can freely figure out what both parties to the war think. It’s not like this in other countries as there is total censorship everywhere. There are no [opinions] of the two parties, just one party is good and the other is bad,” the Serbian leader noted. “Today, we are witnessing a kind of World War III, which will grow in size and scale, becoming more difficult than it is now as early as in the coming days, weeks and months,” the Serbian president stressed.


Vucic pointed out earlier that Serbia was not providing weapons to Ukraine and had no plans to do so. He emphasized that Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine was the reason for the West’s immense pressure on Serbia, particularly in terms of sanctions on Russia. Vucic has repeatedly noted that Serbia’s joining the policy of sanctions against Russia would not produce any results. Addressing the nation soon after the launch of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Vucic said that though his country supported Ukraine’s territorial integrity, it would not impose sanctions on Russia. He also announced that his country would temporarily suspend all army and police drills with foreign partners. He noted that Serbia viewed Russia and Ukraine as fraternal nations, regretted the developments in Eastern Europe and was ready to provide humanitarian assistance to Kiev.

“..a coalition consisting of senior members of the US Congress, MEPs, and Ukrainian parliamentarians handed a list of individuals it wants sanctioned..”

EU Urged To Sanction Steven Seagal (RT)

Hollywood action movie star Steven Seagal is among ten individuals facing calls for sanctions by a group of politicians in the US-Europe Sanctions Coalition for their alleged support of Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine, Euractiv reported on Thursday. According to the news website, a coalition consisting of senior members of the US Congress, MEPs, and Ukrainian parliamentarians handed a list of individuals it wants sanctioned to Swedish Foreign Affairs Minister Tobias Billstrom earlier this week. The list was previously sent to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, in late December, according to Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko, a member of the coalition who spoke to Euractiv.

The request reportedly includes Russian tycoons Magomed Gadzhiev, Vladimir Lisin and Vladimir Potanin, politician Franz Klintsevich, and Ksenia Sobchak – a Russian opposition figure and former presidential candidate. Also featured are entertainers such as Philipp Kirkorov and Igor Krutoy, a Russian state company official, the co-chair of Ukrainian Opposition Platform – For Life party, Vadim Rabinovich, as well as US actor Seagal. The ‘90s Hollywood star, who has been a Russian citizen since 2016, was included in the list for expressing his support for the Kremlin’s military operation in Ukraine and flying to Moscow in April to celebrate his 70th birthday with associates of President Vladimir Putin, whom he called a “great world leader.”


Back in August, it was also reported that the actor was working on a documentary about Kiev’s war against the Donbass republics, which have since joined Russia after holding public referendums. According to Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko, a member of the coalition who spoke to Euractiv, the purpose of the list is to “synchronize sanctions” across all member countries. The official insisted that “those who are guilty of the crime of aggression against Ukraine” must be held responsible and “pay their price.”

One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, Zelensky, Azov (Kanekoa)

The real person who was the benefactor to, and the boss of, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, was not the CEO of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, but it was instead Ihor Kolomoysky, who was part of the newly installed Ukrainian Government, which the Obama Administration itself had actually just installed in Ukraine, in what the head of the “private CIA” firm Stratfor correctly called “the most blatant coup in history.” Shortly after the Obama Administration’s Ukrainian coup, on March 2, 2014, Kolomoysky, who supported Yanukovych’s overthrow, was appointed the governor of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Hunter Biden, with no experience in the industry or region, would join Kolomoysky’s Burisma Holdings two months later, on May 12, 2014.


A 2012 study of Burisma Holdings done in Ukraine by the AntiCorruption Action Centre (ANTAC), an investigative nonprofit co-funded by American billionaire George Soros and the U.S. State Department, found that the true owner of Burisma Holdings was none other than Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky.

Hunter Biden Email Promising Russian Oligarch Info Raises Fresh Concern (NYP)

A Hunter Biden email sent to an American aluminum company and promising information on Russian oligarchs is raising fresh concerns about the first son’s access to classified documents recently discovered in his father’s Wilmington, Del., home as lawmakers prepare to investigate allegations of influence peddling. Documents dating back to 2011 on his notorious “laptop from hell” showed Hunter offered to sell intelligence on Russian oligarchs to the US aluminum firm Alcoa Inc. for $55,000, according to The Post’s exclusive October 2021 report. As his father served as former President Barack Obama’s second-in-command, Hunter Biden offered to provide a “statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL,” which had just signed a metal supply agreement with Alcoa.

Hunter Biden also offered the company a “list of elites of similar rank in Russia, map of [Deripaska’s] networks based on frequency of interaction with selected elites and countries.” The deeply detailed proposal has come under sharp scrutiny given recent revelations that Hunter Biden had access to the Delaware lake-front home where secret papers from his father’s time as vice president were discovered in a garage, basement and library — combined with Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives. Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), the high-profile former chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, told The Post that the Alcoa solicitation fits within a broader picture. “The Biden family is the most corrupt family in the history of American politics,” he said. “The biggest question facing Republican investigators: Where to begin?”

Banks is not alone. Others, such as Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), have raised suspicions that Hunter Biden, who has previously listed the 6,850-square-foot mansion as his home, may have used the classified documents in business dealings. Johnson said an April 12, 2014 Hunter Biden email to his business partner about Ukraine from 2014 looked “suspiciously” like it could have come from classified information. “It reads like one of those scene-setters — highly detailed information in terms of Ukraine,” Johnson told Fox News Tuesday. The email from Hunter to Devon Archer included a 22-point memo he described as “thoughts after doing some research” included prescient predictions that Petro Poroshenko would be elected Ukraine’s president and “some sort of decentralization will likely occur in the East.”

“If it doesn’t the Russians will continue to escalate there [sic] destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full scale take over of the eastern region most critically Donetsk,” Hunter Biden wrote. “The strategic value is to create a land bridge for RU[ssia] to Crimea.” In hearings to start next week, the House Oversight Committee will investigate Hunter Biden’s alleged influence peddling, cashing in on ties to his then-vice president father to rake in millions from foreign companies, its chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), told the National Press Club on Monday.

“51 former intel “experts” promised us the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinfo.”

Hunter just admitted it was all real.

They all deserve jail time.”

Hunter Biden Finally Admits Infamous Laptop Is His (NYP)

So much for “the laptop ‘could be’ mine.” First son Hunter Biden’s lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop that the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him. The revelation came in a petulant letter from Hunter’s lawyers seeking a criminal probe into what they called attempts to “weaponize” its contents. In the 14-page letter to Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell claimed that repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac “unlawfully” accessed Hunter’s laptop data and worked with former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to “weaponize” sordid and incriminating contents on it against Joe Biden.

“This failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and manipulation of Mr. Biden’s private and personal information,” Lowell wrote. “Mr. Mac Isaac’s intentional, reckless, and unlawful conduct allowed for hundreds of gigabytes of Mr. Biden’s personal data, without any discretion, to be circulated around the Internet.” Mac Isaac took possession of the laptop and hard drive late in 2019 after trying and failing for months to notify Hunter that the device was ready to be picked up. Once the shop owner saw the laptop’s contents — including emails detailing influence-peddling involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and videos of the younger Biden smoking crack and having sex with prostitutes and his work subordinates — he alerted the FBI.


[..] Lowell’s letter singles out Mac Isaac, Giuliani, Costello, former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler, Bannon associate Jack Maxey, and Yaacov Apelbaum, founder and CEO of cyber analytics firm XRVision and former aide to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), as parties who gained unauthorized access to the laptop’s contents and disseminated it to the media and lawmakers. “We believe that the facts and circumstances merit further investigation as to whether the conduct of Messrs. Mac Isaac, Costello, Giuliani, Bannon, Ziegler, Maxey, and Apelbaum violated several provisions of Delaware’s criminal code — including, but not necessarily limited to, computer-related property offenses … theft … possession of stolen property … and misapplication of another’s property … Each of these offenses, if violated, has the potential to be a felony, depending on the value of the property in question,” Lowell writes.

Joe Biden’s Shady Plan To Funnel $10 Million To Hunter’s Legal Fund (TPN)

According to the Washington Post and NBC News, allies of President Joe Biden are working on creating a legal fund to help out Hunter Biden, the son of the current president, as he faces investigations and legal challenges now that the GOP controls the House of Representatives. The Washington Post, which first reported on the matter, claimed that the fund could add up to about $10 million dollars, giving Hunter a significant backdrop on which to rely as the GOP starts probing into his alleged influence peddling, particularly his connections in communist China. NBC, reporting on the effort to help pay Hunter’s legal bills, reports that the effort is still in its preliminary stages, as those seeking to help Hunter are trying to decide on what method of fighting back against GOP accusations and investigations will be most effective, with the new legal strategy being a change in tack from the way Hunter and his allies have been dealing with accusations against him up until now. In that outlet’s words:

“The discussions are in the preliminary stage, and as of now Hunter Biden’s legal advisers have not been planning for the potential creation a defense fund to help him pay for representation in the face of GOP investigations they view as unfounded and overtly political. There have been ongoing discussions within Hunter Biden’s circle of advisers about how to respond to Republican probes and accompanying GOP attacks, said multiple people with knowledge of the discussions. Until recently, the strategy was to exercise caution and restraint, preparing for future moves quietly until the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, which has been run out of Delaware, has reached a conclusion about whether charges will be filed.”


While Hunter and his allies have been trying to “exercise caution and restraint”, NBC notes that the new legal fund, if created and funded with enough to help Hunter hire some of the best lawyers, would give him the ability to ” shift to a more proactive legal strategy in the coming months”. What form that new strategy would take is unclear. The legal fund’s creation comes as the sharks start to circle Hunter. Rep. James Comer, for example, recently sent a letter demanding answers from Hunter’s art dealer, saying: “Your arrangement with Hunter Biden raises serious ethics concerns and calls into question whether the Biden family is again selling access and influence.”

“..all these countries,” aware of Bolton’s hawkish views, “thought we were going to blow them up” when Bolton sat in on the negotiations.”

The Press Versus The President, Part Four (CJR)

sTrump, in July 2018, finally had a summit meeting with Vladimir Putin, the man he mistakenly claimed in 2015 to have met years earlier and his supposed puppet master, according to Steele’s dossier. In advance of the summit, Trump met with his national security adviser, John Bolton, to discuss how to deal with Russian meddling. The president “remained unwilling or unable to admit any Russian meddling because he believed doing so would undercut the legitimacy of his election and the narrative of the witch hunt against him,” Bolton wrote in his 2020 memoir The Room Where It Happened. At a press briefing, the final question was whether US intelligence or Putin should be believed with regard to meddling in the 2016 election. After going on a tangent about the server at the DNC, Trump said, “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia that did it. Then, a bit later in his answer, he expressed “great confidence in my intelligence people.”

The first remark received all the attention. Some outlets, like the Times, didn’t include his comments about “great confidence” in US intelligence in their stories, while others, such as the Post, did. Trump flew home to Washington, and when aides talked to him the next day about the reaction, he said he meant the opposite. A clarification was released, but the cleanup was not enough for critics such as Roger Cohen, then a columnist at the Times, who wrote of the “disgusting spectacle of the American president kowtowing in Helsinki to Vladimir Putin.” Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC host, saw the day’s events as affirmation of her having covered the Trump-Russia matter “more than anyone else,” because, as her blog pointed out, Americans were now “coming to grips with a worst-case scenario that the US president is compromised by a hostile foreign power.”


For his part, Trump, when asked about Helsinki in my interview, blasted Bolton. “Bolton was one of the dumber people, but I loved him for the negotiations,” he said, because “all these countries,” aware of Bolton’s hawkish views, “thought we were going to blow them up” when Bolton sat in on the negotiations.

“Suppression of debate has “cost… at least a trillion pounds, given the disastrous legacy of lockdown on education, mental health and misdiagnosis leading to early deaths from cardiac and cancer.”

Jaw-Dropping Story of Covid Conspiracy and a Worldwide Cover-Up (Dalgleish)

We wrote a manuscript and shared it with the Government, Cabinet and scientific advisors saying that it was extremely likely that this was a laboratory escape and had clear and present security implications. Imagine our surprise when we were told quite categorically that there was no way it could have been a laboratory escape and was a natural zoonosis. We tried to publish this on many occasions and each and every one of the top journals, including Nature, Science, The Lancet and many others refused to publish this as it was not in the public interest. What was to follow was a complete suppression of any debate about the origin, which would appear to have been driven by Tony Fauci from the NIAID in America.

Indeed, he was so intent on quashing any evidence of the origin that he commissioned a paper from a group of scientists, who we now know also had concerns that it may not be natural but nevertheless, they published the paper in Nature Medicine saying all the evidence showed it was completely natural and was not a laboratory leaked virus. This paper was published in Nature Medicine and then used by Tony Faucci as absolute proof that it was not a lab leak. What was incredible was that this narrative was picked by governments throughout the world, all the mainstream media and the majority of scientists, who should have known better than to accept the narrative rather than look at the evidence. Birger Sorensen and I were only able to get our observations out under the disguise of a vaccine paper, which was published in QRB Discovery, a journal with a biophysics bent which appreciated our argument that the inserts affected the charge of the virus and this was why it was able to be so infectious.


Although ignored, this paper was soon to be downloaded a record of over a quarter of a million times! The narrative that this could not have possibly come from a laboratory, even though it was very strange the outbreak should have occurred in a place not known for coronavirus outbreaks, was so strongly adhered to that even in the West any suggestion that it may have been due to a laboratory accident was shut down with cries of xenophobia. Among many other put-downs was the allegation this was some sort of conspiracy theory. The ‘lab leak as conspiracy theory’ narrative was so strong that it ended up censoring discussion on all the social media networks and only scientists who produced theories or suggestions that it came from a bat in an original roundabout way were allowed any voice. China’s put-down was especially strong and it was so very obvious that they were covering up something as all specimens and databases were either altered or withdrawn.

DMED Is the most accurate adverse event reporting system.

‘Stunning Increase’ in Serious Harm Reports in Young Healthy Pilots (ET)

It’s been a year since four Department of Defense (DOD) whistleblowers found a sudden increase in various diseases in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which coincided directly with the introduction of COVID-19 vaccinations. Now, new data shows more evidence. That’s according to Lt. Col.Theresa Long, M.D., MPH, a board-certified aerospace medicine doctor and Army Brigade flight surgeon with specialty training as an aviation mishap investigator and safety officer, who was one of the four whistleblowers. Long’s background has uniquely equipped her to recognize what she described as “unusual diagnoses and alarming trends only after the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccinations.” Long said what she has now found has led her to file yet another whistleblower complaint with Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis.) office.

She described this data as “more alarming DMED data” after she “went back into the ‘fixed’ DMED again to look for signals of harm for Army aviation.” “What I found was a clear signal, that something in 2021 changed the health of service members,” Long told The Epoch Times. She said these signals were consistent with those in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports. But unlike VAERS reports, DMED data showed spikes in the number of diagnoses “made by a healthcare professional within the DOD on service members.” According to the Military Health System, the DMED provides remote access to a subset of data contained in the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS). The DMSS contains up-to-date and historical data on diseases and medical events (including reportable events) and “is available to authorized users such as U.S. military medical providers, epidemiologists, medical researchers, safety officers or medical operations/ clinical support staff for surveying health conditions in the U.S. military.”


“After querying all pilots across the DOD, for all-cause morbidity and mortality, I found a stunning increase in the number of reportable events, spiking from an average of 226 reportable events a year (2016-2019) to 4,059 reports in 2022,” she explained. A DOD reportable event is any patient safety event resulting in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm—and all require a comprehensive systematic analysis and a follow-on corrective action implementation plan report. “The point is there is a statistically significant increase in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm in young healthy fit pilots,” she continued.

“Baylor accused McCullough in the $1 million lawsuit of “reputational harm..”

Dr. Peter McCullough Unbowed After Winning Legal Case (DW)

A district judge vindicated Texas cardiologist and outspoken COVID vaccine critic Dr. Peter McCullough on Wednesday, dismissing a lawsuit filed against him approximately two years ago by his former employer Baylor Scott and White Health system. McCullough, dubbed a prominent purveyor of COVID misinformation by his detractors, was sued by the health system two years ago for allegedly violating a separation agreement and bringing the Baylor Scott and White Health name into the media. Associate Judge Tahira Khan Merritt of the Judicial District Court Dallas County dismissed the suit with prejudice. “This is a strong victory for freedom of speech and fair balanced publication and media presentation of clinical data as it has emerged over the course of the pandemic crisis,” McCullough told The Daily Wire.

“My analyses and conclusions have been accurate, consistent, and have always been my own, not those of any institution.” Baylor accused McCullough in the $1 million lawsuit of “reputational harm,” stating that McCullough gave several media interviews and was published in journals that mentioned Baylor as an affiliate even though he had parted ways with the employer. Baylor Scott & White Health told The Dallas Morning News in a written statement at the time of the filings that McCullough’s views don’t represent those of the health care provider. “The lawsuit was filed to enforce this separation and avoid public confusion,” the statement said. “We take very seriously our responsibility to be a trusted source of medical information in the communities we serve.”


Yet, representatives for the cardiologist asserted McCullough never stated he was employed by the health system and that it was third parties who referenced the relationship. “The lawsuit, in a sense, represented a form of intimidation and professional reprisal, and I feel vindicated by the dismissal,” McCullough said.

Arrived at by deduction: “..Health Canada no longer provides data on death by vaccination status.”

100% of COVID Deaths in Canada Now Due to mRNA Vaccine (NP)

New data shows that 100% of COVID deaths in Canada are being caused by the mRNA vaccines that were forced on the population by the Trudeau regime and Big Pharma. Covid deaths in Canada doubled in 2022 with a 85% vaccinated population. Health Canada reports Covid deaths week-by-week, starting from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. In 2020, the total Covid deaths reported to the Public Health Agency Canada by provinces and territories was 9,225. In 2021, as vaccines became accessible to Canadians between January and July, Covid deaths didn’t decrease over the year. Instead, the figure slightly increased to 9,934. And, in 2022, with an approximately 85% vaccinated population in January and a less deadly Covid variant dominant, Covid deaths increased again.

Over 2022, Health Canada data shows 15,844 deaths occurred due to Covid – almost double the number of deaths in 2020 when citizens were “unprotected.” Over half of these reported deaths between 2020 and 2022 were among Canadians aged 80 years and older. Health Canada no longer provides data on death by vaccination status. As such, there’s no way to decipher which deaths in 2022 were among vaccinated populations and which were among unvaccinated. The health agency does show overall death percentages by vaccine status from the start of the vaccine rollout in December 2020. This data reveals that just over half of all Covid deaths took place among those who received at least one Covid vaccine. Legacy media created hysteria around the Delta variant in 2021, as the just-vaccinated population was learning they were not immune from getting infected with – or dying from – Covid.


Data suggested that the Delta variant was more contagious than the previously dominant Alpha, but less deadly. Furthermore, research indicates the Omicron variant – which became dominant in 2022 – is even less lethal than the Delta. As previously reported by The Counter Signal, Canada’s 2022 excess deaths trajectory is on pace to shatter the total from 2021 – and obliterate that from 2020. Excess deaths is the term that indicates whether a region had more or fewer deaths than expected, given demographics and historical trends. The figure helps calculate the true impact of a health crisis. Health Canada data indicates 13,940 excess deaths took place in 2022 up to August 27. By this same period in 2021, the total excess deaths was 10,406. In 2020, the total was 8,057. In other words, as the percentage of Canadians “vaccinated” against Covid increased, so too did the excess death total and the Covid deaths.

    I waited until page 2 out of respect for the general conversation. I considered doing a series, but with apologies if this bugs anyone, I ‘m going to rip the bandaid off and wrap it up in one day, rather than dragging it out over a week.

    Revealing The Mysteries. A model for understanding the current Western zeitgeist.

    Part 1.) INTRODUCTIONS AND APOLOGIES (AND WHY SHOULD I READ THIS?)

    Today I’m going to try to wrap up my thoughts about “Jensenitism,” in the course of which I will reveal Esoteric Mysteries along the lines of ancient Mystery Cults which are driving current events. Not kidding. Intended to have some practical application.

    I will attempt to tie The Mysteries back into not only the current thinking in Environmentalism, but much of the current overall zeitgeist of current Western Civ. On the way there, it may seem wacky, but upon arrival, the response will probably be “that’s actually fairly mundane.” It should give a simplified working model for current events, rather than making it more complex.

    After this, I’ll try to decrease my posting and be less combative – I was going somewhere with all this though, so I should at least finish, make it worth something. Sincere apologies for any and all things I’ve done that changed the tone here or disrupted things.
    ………
    Why is this important? Because this thinking is clearly informing the policies and actions of Governments, Corporations, and NGO’s frequently – continually, at this point. So we should be paying attention.

    Why else is it important? I’m going to be providing a Working Model (not a certain truth) that you can slap down on reality to see if it tracks – does it work, is it somewhat useful in forming an understanding of events?
    ………
    There are a few possibilities on HOW exactly it pervades the Masters of the Universe class:
    1. They wholeheartedly believe it
    2. They propogated it cynically, but have at least partially drunk their own coolaid
    3. They propogate it cynically, but it’s useful to have people one or more levels down believing and acting on it.

    It’s debatable – did Marxism re-invent The Mysteries as a part of its evolution? Did The Mysteries invade Marxist thought from outside someohow? Dunno. But The Mysteries now propagated would be recognizable by someone in, say, 200BC or 200AD. Or 2000BC for that matter.
    ………
    Nevertheless, I’m going to name (misname) this a direct but wacky outgrowth of “Marxism/Communism/Socialism” and perhaps we can throw in “post-modernism/deconstructionism.” Anyone with more knowledge of these things than me – and I guarantee we have people here that fit that description – can easily jump in and say “you’re not getting it right”. And they’ll be correct.

    In the general way I intend to use terms, I’ll be correct, as far as trying to give a very general overview, enough to form a picture without going into abstruse detail. At least as a placeholder, words like “Jensenitism” and “Marxism” will have to do. IF someone wants me to provide citations, just say so and I will track down the names, dates, quotes, citations, although that will be a long term project.

    I DEFINITELY understand if my approximate-use or misuse of terms would rankle. If it does, go for it. I will do my very best to be inquisitive rather than argumentative in response.
    ………
    AFKTT – Respect to you. We disagree but I see you battled practically alone, persistently, and I appreciate the engagement. As the resident representative of Jensenitism, I’ll be referencing you a bunch – We Apologize For The Inconvenience and I salute you.

    Boros – Respect – if nothing else, you jumped in AFKTT’s corner so he would not be all alone in the battle. Taking the Planetary Meltdown side of the debate moved it forward, which I certainly couldn’t do, being on the other side of it.

    phoenixvoice – I wanted to apologize to you specifically for my getting combative over continental vs anglo revolutions, calling the french revolution bolshevik revolution 1.0 etc – I’m about to make copious reference to “Marxism” and you probably have stuff to say about it that is more knowledgeable than anything I could say. I promise to be good.
    ………
    I’m about to clumsily stomp all over some terms because the concepts require placeholders if nothing else, and they will be approximately correct – correct enough to communicate the ideas.

    Part 2.) A SUMMARY OF “JENSENITISM”

    AFKTT posted his own Jensenite manifesto here. Rather than having everything my own way, I’ll link to HIS explanation of it before I give mine:

    Debt Rattle December 17 2022

    my explanation of it:

    1. Humans are nothing but animals and should be nothing but animals. Are guilty for not having tried hard enough to be animals.
    2. Agriculture and everything that came from it was BAD
    3. Civilization is inherently oppressive. Twisted, Evil. Is the source OF evil. Systemic oppression.
    4. All human advancement (within civilization) is simply the progress of humans getting more and more destructive of anything good.
    5. You’re all doomed. DOOMED. Everyone and everything you ever knew. DOOMED.
    6. You SHOULD be doomed. You deserve it.
    7. We should be Tearing It All Down as much as possible ASAP

    I would sum this up as sort of a super-demoralizing, super-devaluing death cult creed. Everything and everyone that is, was, or will be is awful. Progress is BAD not good, you’re doomed anyway, and we should be bringing the doom ourselves. All routes to self esteem – from personal to civilizational – cut off. All routes to hope or positivity – cut off.

    As Catherine Austin Fitts says – if something isn’t working for its stated purpose, look at what it actually is doing – that is its actual purpose. This worldview does not WORK. It can’t.

    In boot camp, they break you down psychologically so you can be built back up along specific lines. This is the utility I see in impressing this worldview upon someone. Once you’ve fully and completely devalued everything from internal to external, from the micro to the macro and you have a shattered human being before you, what’s the next step, eh? Go And Do Thou Likewise? Also, we just so happen to have some other “facts,” values, goals for you to internalize now that you have nothing. You won’t grab at them like a drowning man grabbing at something, anything to stay afloat, will you?

    Part 3.) WTF. RELIGION?

    as AFKTT said, “the natural state of humans is naked in the jungle” Try replacing the word “Jungle” with “Garden.”

    Humans are just animals
    Humans SHOULD be just animals
    Humans should have tried harder to be animals

    What happened that caused awfulness? Agriculture? That moment of becoming NOT an animal.

    Loss of innocence.

    Man will be turned out of The Garden and must toil in the field. Agriculture.

    Everything bad came from The Fall, didn’t it?

    And we carry the intrinsic guilt with us, all of us, all civilization, all civilizations that have ever been.

    What do we deserve? Punishment?

    Why should it be that such a toxic, destructive worldview that specifically rebels against all the things arising from agriculture/civilization should nevertheless make itself a perfect paper cutout of Christianity, a major Thing that Ought Not To Be?

    Why SO perfect? Coincidence? Cosmic coincidence? Everyone knows 99.9% of known events are caused by coincidence.

    ==========================================

    Revealing The Mysteries. A model for understanding the current Western zeitgeist.

    Part 4.) THE FIRST DESPERATE MARXIST COPE

    Many religions have the idea of a progression through time.

    For example, Christianity proposes an End Time in the Book of Revelations and elsewhere. The Beast, Trumps of Doom, Return of Jesus, a Last Battle, a New Jerusalem and so on —- a specific prophecied set of things arriving at a specific destination. We’re not in stasis – we’re going somewhere.

    Karl Marx proposed something called Historicity. Certain conditions would inevitably lead to other conditions, inevitably leading to Utopia. Major events which, in his own religion, would be akin to important events in the Bible provided signposts on the way there.
    ………
    Probably THE major event was The Workers Will Rise Up. Integral to Marx’s doctrine was that the holy Conditions would INEVITABLY bring this to pass.

    Christianity has some embarassing things to deal with of a similar type. That crack about Jesus returning to Earth “in this generation.” The fact that it has been 2,000 years. But at least there’s that bit about the return coming like a thief in the night and no one knowing the time or place. Scripture and worldly events have to be re-interpreted in that light.

    People started pointing out that all the Holy Conditions for The Workers Will Rise Up were met, had been met for a long time. But the workers weren’t rising up. But The Holy conditions are paramount, supreme! Prophecy and prophet – FAIL!
    ………
    Diligently enough, the Marxists went to work on the problem. Engels proposed a retrofit solution:

    The problem is that Capitalism is Delivering The Goods. (The workers get to, generally speaking, get the things they want and need, lead meaningful lives with their friends, family, hobbies & interests, communities, institutions etc) ie the working class are carrying on with a good life within capitalism and that’s WRONG.

    It’s wrong because capitalism is a lie. Communism is the truth.

    It therefore logically follows that it isn’t right that The Workers should live predominantly happy meaningful lives with their material needs met when it is a lie. The workers shouldn’t be HAVING all those Christmas get-togethers, backyard barbeques, tball leauge matches, block parties, stable multigenerational families, functioning traditions and institutions, a civil society. It’s wrong for them to have it because it’s all a lie.
    ………
    Engels proposed that, what with Capitalism delivering the goods AND being a lie, the workers exist in something like a pod from The Matrix. They’re trapped in a world of total illusion/delusion.

    What do you even CALL a being that exists in NOTHING but illusion/delusion? Like, not just fictional representations of reality but gross MISrepresentations of reality? What would a being be who existed in NOTHING but a sea of MIS-information?

    If a human’s consciousness comes from being born a blank slate, which then constructs an a priori model of reality, which is consciousness, then surely it follows that if nothing but irreality is presented to that blank slate, then it will NOT FORM A REAL CONSCIOUSNESS.

    If you take lies (Capitalism) and create an imprint off those lies (a human brain, born a blank slate, then molded by inputs,) you end up with a brain, a being, a consciousness that is a lie. You’d HAVE to.

    And lies AREN’T REAL.

    Engels coined the new concept – False Consciousness

    You can extrapolate this a number of useful ways
    –You believe in nothing but lies. Everything you think is a fact is false – we don’t need to check.
    –Even your structure OF thinking is a lie. The basis of your “reasoning” AND the “reasoning” itself is just a lie.
    –You have no real consciousness/soul, so we don’t have to treat you like you do

    Part 5.) THIS IS THE BEST. HAMMAR. EVAR. I SEE NAILS EVERYWHERE

    False Consciousness accounted for everything. The Workers didn’t Rise Up because only REAL PEOPLE would rise up – after all, it’s REAL people that Marx’s prophecy addresses, not FAKE people.

    You can see where this is going, can’t you?

    While mainstream Marxism would be concerned False Consciousness as it relates economics and politics, there’s really no end to what it can be applied to. For example, if you were to retrofit it to environmentalism, what might you argue?

    Just replace “Capitalism” with “Civilization” and work on tightetning up your terms a bit. Civilization (everything arising from agriculture) is a lie. Isn’t it? What did AFKTT say?

    The most natural state for humans is naked in the jungle

    That which is natural is the truth, surely. That which is totally UN-natural would be the lie.

    What ELSE has AFKTT said?

    Which K’ung or Pygmies are those, jb-hb, the ones who were wiped out or the ones being killed by ‘civilisation’ on miniscule ‘reserves’? -just as all indigenous people were wiped out or are languishing on miniscule ‘reserves.

    Anyway, even if you could find any real people…

    Debt Rattle January 27 2023

    Very, VERY interesting, yes?

    Or back in August:

    Now we have a huge population of zombies, within which lives a tiny minority who are really alive.

    If people living naked in the jungle are The Real People, who AREN’T real people?

    Living as a Paleolithic animal is the truth. NOT living as an animal is a lie.

    Do you have genuine discussions with dumb animals who have no access to the real world, who live in a world of misinformation, irrealtiy, whose minds are merely an imprint OF irrealtiy, not real minds?? No. It absolutely cannot work, cannot possibly be a thing.

    All you can do is TRAIN a dumb animal by rote. By repetition of small things, diligently, intensely, over and over until it is trained up to what you need. Using any techniques that would be most likely to make it work. By any means neccessary. Why not AND of course. Nothing else could POSSIBLY make sense. (would shattering someone psychologically via devaluation assist this training process? How nice to have the tool and the reason to use the tool in a single hermetically-sealed precept.)

    By the very definition of the belief you hold and which your opponent ought to be convinced of, which you hope to convince them of, you approach them to train them, bit by bit, into reality. There is no possibility of discussion with a fake consciousness. It doesn’t have to be purposely underhanded, sneaky, in conscious bad faith. It is integral to the structure of the idea you’re siding with.

    Based upon the structure of that idea, it would act in an onion-like fashion. The only reason to expose more complex and more important ideas to a dumb unconscious animal living only in lies is if the current tool is NOT working and you need to reach for the next most powerful tool. It would be the most natural human reaction to do so.

    See why I had to grind away through the levels to show it?

    The only reason AFKTT even kinda-sorta admitted yeah, it’s Jensenitism is because I started critiqueing it regardless of his reaction – at THAT point, it made sense to defend it, but not before. BEFORE that, the thing that made the most sense was rote repetition of little constituent bits. NOT because AFKTT is some kind of asshole, but because it is intrinsic to the idea, the meme-complex, whatever you want to call it. It follows logically, once you accept the givens.

    Ok now go back to the core beliefs of Jensenitism. Observe that we’ve already translated them back and forth between Political/Economic and Environmental with ease.

    Do the same with race. Whiteness = Capitalism. White Consciousness = False Consciousness. You can easily extrapolate from there.

    Ok, now consider that Gender Is Just A Construct. Replace Capitalism with The Construct Of Gender. Again, everything translates perfectly. You live in a lie. Only the initiated know real reality. Etc.

    Say, when it came to the injection-which-does-not-vaccinate, didn’t anyone with a contrary opinion get treated like nothing? Hey look, are they rising up on two legs trying to SAY something? (did the injection act as an initiation, purity test, purification ritual?)

    See how many complicated nonsensical things we’ve observed could be just ONE simply-understood thing?

    See why it would be hidden in plain sight?

    The Initiated have no reason to “argue” at the initiated level. The Un-Initiated But Sufficiently Trained would have internalized the structure of the idea/meme-complex but certainly wouldn’t give you an excutive summary explaining why they are behaving a certain way. They don’t HAVE that for you.

    I kept asking afewknowthetruth – where do you draw the line if Planetary Meltdown is at stake and people who disagree with you are just despicable evil people getting in the way?

    Well, what if they aren’t actually even PEOPLE?

    The answer is, THERE IS NO LINE. There is NOWHERE you stop, morally:

    afewknowthetruth 9/1/22

    Moving beyond the superficial ‘mass murder is evil’ narrative we can see that when you have a massive population overshoot of the order of 7 billion, and an inadequate food supply and a planet in meltdown, it makes perfect sense to get rid of as many people as possible now because that will reduce the amount of suffering in the future.

    If you can transpose all the JUSTIFICATIONS onto ANY aspect of human life, you can transpose the ultimate CONCLUSION as well, can’t you?

    And The Phrase of 2020: “We Must Take Everything Away From Them”

    Think back to The Workers, getting all the goods successfully delivered to them by Capitalism.

    It’s WRONG for them to have jobs and homes and gardens and cookouts and tball teams and civil society and progress. The solution to False Consciousness is to take them OUT of the Capitalism Matrix Pod and put then IN the Marxist Matrix Pod so they have NOTHING but the truth. “Everything” is currently Capitalism.

    We extract you from the pod to free you. You must have Everything Taken Away From You. Obviously. “Everything” is the entrapping Capitalist/White/Gender/Climate/Antivax Matrix pod/lie.

    Does it appear like someone is trying to Take Everything Away lately?

    In the interests of scientific accuracy:

    Those who were jabbed with incorrectly stored or incorrectly administered clot-shit may not have had much active clot-shit inserted into their bodies (perhaps none even) and their bodies may be able to remove the clot-shit and allow them to live as normally as anyone can in a concentration camp.

    Those whose immune systems are particularly effective and who were jabbed with some clot-shit may live many years in their sector of the concentration camp without the clot-shit killing them.

    Those who already have physiological defects and have adopted particularly unhealthy ‘lifestyle choices’ in the concentration camp and who have had several doses of clot-shit -especially what are described as ‘boosters’ by the financial-military-industrial complex- may well be fucked as they live out their final months or years in the concentration camp (that is those who have not already succumbed to the effects of the clot-shit).

    I have used the term clot-shit as an abbreviation for cell biology modifier, since one of the major consequences of allowing the cell biology modifier into one’s body is the formation of clots due to the coalescence of blood components not withstanding other effects of the cell biology modifiers.

    Although Thailand may well attempt to seek compensation from the financial-military-industrial of Oceania, it needs to note that Big Brother does not negotiate: Big Brother simply acts; therefore, Thailand risks being turned into the next war zone in Big Brother’s long-term agenda of reasserting complete control over those regions Big Brother has lost complete control over and now only maintains partial control over.

    I apologise for the use if the word ‘may’ and its stronger form ‘may well’, since nothing is certain in the fields of politics and commerce, other than that those who operate the system in Oceania lie all the time about everything and are agreement incapable and will sacrifice everything they can get their hands on to sacrifice, in the protection of the short-term interests on The Party. That absolutely certain.

    ‘Millions of Families struggle for survival during Afghanistan’s coldest winter in a decade’

    Project Afghanistan, commenced by Airstrip One before it was fully morphed into Airstrip One and revitalised by Airstrip Two in 1947, is of little interest to Big Brother at this point of time (and the people who live there are certainly of no interest whatsoever) since Project Attack-Iran-From-The East is currently off the agenda.

    On the other hand, Project Attack-Iran-From-The-West is very much alive in the minds of the psychotic sociopaths who are attempting to defend Big Brother’s fake money system and pulverise any nation that attempts to undermine it.

    Big Brother’s wars are not only with Eurasia and Eastasia and the rest of the world, but also with the laws of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.

    I think it’s appropriate to feel glee at the unravelling of the Biden scam, but remember that Biden (and everyone else we can actually see) is a puppet, Some may be players as well, but their double role is well disguised. All the puppets together make the scam work, and are assisted by opportunists, egotists, and moral (and physical) cowards.
    So there’s a whole pyramid whose top we can’t distinguish or engage directly, and most of the sheep and many of the goats just giggle (or rage) at the puppets, and stop there. By design.
    Also note the selection-process: the “vaccine” is thinning the herd of the sheep far more than it is that of the goats, structurally undermining the puppet-masters (and their overlords). Enough to “save civilization”?
    Maybe we are better off if our narcissistic “civilization” as we know it is not saved, but rather compelled to reincarnate itself, perhaps even learning some humbling lessons from this glorious debacle.

    In recent days (not here on TAE) we have been discussing the fact that the bulk of the populations of ‘civilised’ nations consist of selectively bred individuals: selectively bred for obedience to authority; selectively bred for compliance with arbitrary rules that are disconnected from the natural world; selectively bred to dependent on others for survival. And in recent times in the most ‘developed’ nations, selectively bred for total dependence on fossil fuels and their numerous derivatives.

    As previously discussed, the process of selective breeding commenced when people -maybe 25,000 yeas ago in what is now southwest Asia- started saving seeds and plating them to harvest grains. The increased security of having stored grains outweighed the need to build grain stores and defend them. Nevertheless, the health of the people -especially those at the bottom of the social pyramid, the vast majority- began to decline; dental problems, skeletal problems, and the emergence and proliferation of diseases that were rare or unknown in hunter-gatherers.

    The increase in numbers more than made up for the decline in intelligence and physical capabilities of the selectively bred inmates of the first concentration camps.

    People born in the concentration camps had no idea they were born in concentration camps and accepted whatever form of servitude or slavery or arbitrary rules that imposed on them from above in the first documented civilisations.

    As I have pointed out on many occasions, the Norma conquest of England marked a profound change in the order of things because, whereas the rulers of previous civilisations were of the same genetic stock and spoke the same language as the peasants (some may argue that the Romans did the same but the Romans actually incorporated local power structures into their power structure and gave non-Romans opportunity to ‘become’ Romans).

    England became ruled by non-English who spoke a completely different language and who extracted wealth from the English, stole land and gave it to their friends…the model for much of what happened throughout the world once the lower echelons of Norman society began to intermingle with the actual English and use them to engage in conquest of much of the world.

    Throughout fairly recent history -the past 500 years or so- anyone who disagreed with hierarchical power structures got eliminated -killed or sent to a slave camp where their genetic line was terminated.

    Despite the continuing efforts of The Empire of Lies, a remnant hunter-gatherer remains in ‘civilisated’ societies, arguably at around the 1% level, the people who say No! when an authoritarian government (in the case of Oceania, a totalitarian fascist police state) imposes ridiculous, contradictory, destructive rules on the populace.

    Asking people who have been selectively bred to not think, selectively bred to comply with idiotic rules imposed on them, and trained all their lives by fascist governments to OBEY, asking them to think for themselves and not to NOT OBEY is a big ask. And most are incapable of doing it.

    .
    15 to 20 years ago, Derrick Jensen emphasised the point that if a person’s (or group of people’s) food supply and lifestyle are dependent on a particular piece of land or a particular river, that person (or grouop) will defend it to the death.

    Thus, we witness a few participants on TAE ‘defend to the death’ the system that captured them and enslaved them at birth and indoctrinated them throughout the most impressionable years in the faux benefits of empire and industrialism..

    I was fortunate to have had a father who was severely abused by The Empire of Lies and ranted against its evil ways and lies throughout my childhood.

    As an adult, I have been abused by The Empire of Lies more times than I could possibly present here.

    Those who have never been abused by The Empire of Lies (or didn’t notice the abuse or rationalised it away -denial is a powerful state of mind) would not think to question anything the Empire of Lies says or does. They have been set up to be its next victims.

    I’ve never been to Sweden but do know there is a meme that the Swedes get their clothes off and run around outside stark naked. Some even break ice and jump into freezing water before getting ultra-warm via wood stoves.

    This is probably a genetically selected cultural practice relating to the skin absorbing sunlight and manufacturing vitamin D and also ridding the skin of parasites. Weaklings didn’t strip off, didn’t get sunlight, didn’t plunge into cold water, and died off without producing viable offspring.

    I understand that by not imposing destructive (self-destructive) Covid policies, Swedes have done a lot better than other industrialised nations throughout the fake Covid pandemic.

    That said, there are saboteurs everywhere. Airstrip Five has more than its fair share of them.

    Very much like Morpheus explaining to Neo in The Matrix that all these people in the pods aren’t ready for the truth and might very well fight for The Matrix when it comes down to it.

    This idea within the Environmentalist world works in the more mainstream Marxism as well. This is why the Marxists gave up on the Working Class, appear hostile to it at times.

    The Working Class have become the enemy – Communists realize they’re implicitly conservative, therefore implicitly defend The Matrix.

    That’s why, after the fall of the USSR, when the temptation was to freak and say “What are we gonna do now may? Game over man, game over!” Instead, they reached for the relatively esoteric False Consciousness model. Since that ruled out The Working Class/Proletariat as the instrument of rising up, they had to cast about for a “new” proletariat that wouldn’t let them down. (a new rube to slip a mickey)

    The New Proletariat they selected is all the people on the margins. Minorities and LGBTQ+ and allies. It remains to be seen if they too will be found to be wanting and tossed aside as well, as being not good enough or useless or letting the marxists down etc.

    Seems the marxists are hedging their bets this time around though by ALSO using, as the New Proletariat to Rise Up – the Ultra Rich in control of the Corporations, Governments, and NGO’s. This way they’re covered either way and won’t be stopped by those dastardly Proles.

    Drive-by posting:

    I want to quibble with Raúl’s claim that DMED is very reliable. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time this weekend, or today, to summarize all the various things I learned from Mathew Crawford’s Rounding the Earth Substack and Campfire Wiki (I think someone recently linked to his Substack, for Dr. D regarding the levels of the psyop). My shortest take: the whistleblowers are not what they seem (like the owls in Twin Peaks); there are at least two layers of deception with the DMED data; Mathew’s research leads one to conclude that the data was deliberately tampered with both for the whistleblowers (to mislead them or through them mislead others) and after the database repair fixed a supposed glitch that the DoD claims was the source for the whistleblowers’ many mistakes and errors. There’s also an entire angle here about how Mathew has been sidelined and sort of moved outside the circles of the medical freedom movement, and the pattern and behaviors —as he interprets his own experiences and relates them— he thinks are consistent with intelligence operations (maybe even several, maybe transnational corporate and/or multiple nation-states —but this is more my rendering and intuition).

    This sidequest starts here.

    Hi WES. Good observations and questions. My take:

    This life is both…real and unreal.

    When we live in the past (by re-living memories) or in the future (by dreaming/imagining) we are living in a dream/unreal state. The PRESENT is real. Living life fully present is the opportunity of this life.

    Many of us (me included) bounce around. PRESENCE takes practice – awareness, dedication (Heart), and compassion are essential to cultivate/maintain this state of reality. Joy, Peace, and LOVE live here.

    LOVE to the Questioners.

    Tobacco drawn, a fire, a toke.

    To live a life rich and inspired.

    I just wanted to make clear – about AFKTT #128131 – I totally get it. Thank you for bringing that up.

    BUT it is just vanilla current-year Marxism ported over to Environmentalism.

    –Politics is downstream from culture
    –We Must Criticize Everything

    It follows that mainline vanilla marxism should be ported/translated to EVERY subculture.

    The Working Class are in the Matrix Pod, which is Capitalism. They are inherently enemies, as they would defend the thing that is Bringing the Goods.

    People in Civilization are in the Matrix Pod, which is Civilization. They are inherently enemies, as they would defend the thing that is Bringing The Goods

    I should have covered a bit more expressly how the Working Class are, as a sort of default, the enemy in current vanilla marxism (therefore whatever subgroup matches up with the port-to subculture) if nothing else due to sheer inertia, but also in the sense of “they will defend that which brings the goods”

    I was also waiting for yourself and possibly AFKTT. But I have a different take.

    Jensen list, direct link: https://www.theautomaticearth.com/forums/topic/debt-rattle-december-17-2022/page/2/#post-123707

    Honestly, jb-hb, I missed this, having just finished too long a post about radio being the only possible way for alien life forms to communicate.

    That is an amazing and stellar link. But these parts stand out:

    “Civilization is not redeemable.” Huh. What is “Civilization”? Is it not the customs of being orderly and civil? Can he define it? The first moment men can distinguish Good and Evil perhaps? One thing’s for sure: all native tribes are “civilized.” They have order, structure, and almost universally agriculture, although different from ours. Since they have the same people, same rules, same agriculture, who are you referring to who is “uncivilized”? And isn’t that a bit of racist pejorative too? I’ll tell you: only monkeys. Men before the fall, pre-men, that is ANIMALS, before eating from the tree of good and evil. The instant they are men, they act as we do. Want to know why “no one lives naked in the jungle” the “Natural state of man”? Because you’d f’ing die, you fool. You know it, I know it, they know it. The EXISTENCE of man is in COMMUNITY, in FAMILY, in BUILDING, in harvesting, storing, planning, and in trade. Without it, man dies dead, just as hawks who can’t fly or beavers who can’t build. We ARE animals...and these are the kind of (wild) animals we are: thinking ones, in touch with our creator.

    “Premise Fourteen: From birth on—and probably from conception, but I’m not sure how I’d make the case—we are individually and collectively enculturated to hate life, hate the natural world, hate the wild, hate wild animals, hate women, hate children, hate our bodies, hate and fear our emotions, hate ourselves. If we did not hate the world, we could not allow it to be destroyed before our eyes. If we did not hate ourselves, we could not allow our homes—and our bodies—to be poisoned.”

    Wow. Sorry you had a crappy childhood, don’t butter your weird kinks on the rest of us. Quite the contrary, children come out loving life, loving nature, loving mommy, loving children, loving themselves, loving most of their emotions and one of the big criticism of kids is that they are self-centered and think they’re awesome. I’m sorry you are from a religion of hate instead and delivered that to your children. I hope they recover, and yourself.

    “Premise Fifteen: Love does not imply pacifism.”

    Maybe. But your statement seems to imply by omission that your love is about violence and heartily approves of it at a minimum. Note of all the premises, which one he does not fully and honestly communicate. Why? Doesn’t he want people to agree with him and know how to act? Tell us more about your intent to violence Mr. Jensen. Be honest.

    Premise Nineteen: The culture’s problem lies above all in the belief that controlling and abusing the natural world is justifiable.

    You just approved of violence, but the entire natural world is off limits to it, “violence” being the definition of “control and abuse”. Well, what is “Natural”? Not specific but 100% of all things NOT made by man in a “Civilized” state. Excluding that, what is left that violence is appropriate for? Out of love, as above? Only humans. All humans. Kill all men. Open season. That is a core premise of Jensenism. Hate, then kill.

    So we have that controlling and abusing the natural world is not justifiable. However, controlling and abusing men is. Love = Hate. What else?

    Premise Sixteen: The material world is primary.”

    He is primarily a materialist. At least he has a door open, but says to ignore it. Spirit and the physical are separate, not entangled, not the same, and one should overlook spirit and heart in favor of “reality”. This seems like a throwaway, but it’s critical. Connection to the spirit wipes the hate, the desperation, the emptiness away. That’s why religion is enemy #1, to be killed first, last and middle.

    “Premise Ten: The culture as a whole and most of its members are insane. The culture is driven by a death urge, an urge to destroy life.”

    HIS culture. Not mine. Which is little surprise for a man given to the primacy of Hate and the righteousness of violence, to say nothing of the denial of Spirit. What “culture” is there? What “Civilization”? If your culture misbehaves, what’s that to us? So what? Cry me a river. You are a man with the task of behaving correctly and righteously. It is not your business whether others do or not, that’s on them. Besides which, all men have this same problem, civilized or not. “Hell,” as they say, “Is other people.”

    So here we have a man who hates other men, hates women, hates children, hates himself, hates what the thinks, hates what he feels. Hates his culture, hates all history, hates the world. And wherever he goes, nothing but that hate is waiting for him, following him around like a spectre. Hate, hate, hate. And he wonders why others are not rallying to his flag. Why the world can’t change. Why life isn’t wonderful, safe, and warm. Why it isn’t greening wherever he goes. Why wherever it’s safe and warm, he’s guilty, burns it down and leaves it dark, empty, carbon-free.

    That is indeed lamentable. Why does he do that?

    What did I say?

    “So let me help you: Humans ARE animals. Humans ARE nature. Just as tigers kill things, eat meat, and have a right to be here, I too must kill things, can eat meat, and have as much right to be here. To walk in the forests and look at the trees. I am no different.

    I am a part of Nature, one with it, and she is our mother, from which OUR life flows. Destroying her only destroys me and us. Therefore in love you must build, not destroy. Create, not murder. For just as beavers are born with an impulse to build, so humans live in colonies and must create, build, and transform the world around them as well, damming rivers and flooding meadows, cutting trees. We too, raise our children to do and to know this. This is our way no different from the ants, the beaver, and the buffalo, changing the earth where we go.

    If we go too far, we are not hurting “Nature” because we ARE Nature, we are hurting OURSELVES, which is stupid, but it is our business to identify the point and to stop it not for the “Earth’s” benefit, who won’t notice and doesn’t care, but for our own. Our own safety, our own pleasure, our own wishes, our own progeny and our own ways and our own morals. Not hers.

    Therefore, when I imagine a world that is “right” it includes people, it includes Nature, it includes cities with some technology or other from flint knaps to nuclear reactors and know both.

    Therefore it does, or can, include electricity.” It includes all things. There is nothing to hate, nothing to fight. You just made a mistake that’s all. Men make mistakes and misapprehend things all the time. As a thinking animal you can become aware of your mistake and quickly right it, come back to love, oneness, and the abundance that Nature brings.

    So I’m worried about an animal in the hills of New Zealand who appears to be in a desperate state. Just as I would care about the other animals there, I care about this one.

    You can’t find love by excising it with hate.
    You can’t find unity and peace by dividing man and nature.
    Come back. Back to the garden which was always here.

    @jb-hb Good job. Well worth the read. Interesting conclusion, similar to the woke religion that is fighting against nature. We must conclude that AFKTT therefore believes that humans are a mistake, we should have been chimps. Nature made a mistake and AFKTT wants to correct that mistake by forcing us to live like chimps even though we are not chimps. An interesting perspective.

    Where did the flu go in 2020 and 2021

    Indeed. This reminds me of arguments with friends where I was insisting that “Covid’s just the flu” while the MSM brainwashed were insisting that Covid was something scary. I attributed most of that fear to TV News. I still don’t believe that Covid exists, even though I apparently caught it or so a PCR test tells me, the test was to get into Japan, we both failed the test. Who knows what the test is actually detecting. It felt exactly like a typical winter flu: first day you feel a bit off, the next day in bed feeling lethargic and with no appetite, next day back up and around but still feeling a bit odd, next day 100% back to normal. I have had worse bouts of flu and other stuff in the past.

    It’s been a full day since the Chinese balloon showed up over America and despite all that time and thousands of professional liars on the payroll, so far nobody has come up with a plausible lie to explain why it’s there or why we haven’t done much about it. I find that more interesting (and scary) than the balloon itself.
