Deflation is Mr Potato Head!

I differ from many here on my risk assessment of covid and the support for the trucker protest. While I see the harm done by the government response to covid (I don’t agree with trying to figure out whether or not it is a grand conspiracy because we will never know that and besides even governments of arch enemy countries are responding the same way to covid) I do not see covid as the ultimate threat. I see other threats as being larger: fascism, corporate control of our governments and climate change/ecocide.
The leadership of this demonstration is highly compromised – I have lived my whole life in constituencies near where Randy Hillier and Poilievre have been involved in politics. You cannot put lipstick on these guys and make them look good for me-sorry. There was never a progressive issue on which they took the right side.
On policing: many here have questioned the legality of the government responses to covid but now are cheering on police refusal to stop the protest. In a properly functioning democracy the mandate for police does not include deciding when to apply the law. Again, police here have been properly condemned, on record, for inequality in the application of the law against marginalized populations. Police are the last people I would stand beside as arbiters of justice -I would question their motives as would anyone who has been on the receiving end of their unjust conduct. Here’s another anecdote from protests past: when public meetings were held after police overstep was so egregious that such meetings were called, the police sitting behind me at the meeting were laughing amongst themselves throughout the meeting as people were describing their mistreatment at the hands of police.
What I am seeing is that folks who felt terrorized by covid vaxes are running into the arms of anyone who is throwing them a life preserver-most of these people (in my neck of the woods) have a very limited knowledge of the political operatives even in our area -way over their heads. This is a perfect opportunity for bad actors to gain a new base.

Who? Was that that guy who sold his catalog to the single most evil company on planet earth? Whoever follows evil for money: yeah, I listen to him. Stunning and brave.

“Technocrats Demand Meat Tax to Fight Climate Change – 56%”

As as the Doomberg article last week, TYSON wants their LOBBYISTS to increase PROFIT margins 56%. They don’t care why, they’ll make up any story they have to. The only way to break them is competition. Government regulations were invented for the sole purpose of destroying competition and establishing monopoly. Then you dole out “exemptions” for the “exceptional” pals and friends for cash $$$. Like mask-wearing?

Scumbags and villains. But luckily these are also massive, serial felonies that are relatively easy to prove and jail for. All you have to do is go park your truck and not leave. Ever. Elect yourself in and stay.

“Peter Thiel to Leave Facebook Board to Help “Advance the Trump Agenda”: Report”

People are leaving Team A to join Team B. Wait: Isn’t Peter Thiel gay (enormous spat about this, cost $1B or something), wasn’t Trump going to round up all the gays and put them in camps? Huh. Instead, the nation’s top gay-killer rounded up ALL of us and put us in self-camps. DNC’s own Tiny Robot Doctor Fauci. Goooo Team A! It’s almost like everything every said is a lie. …But that’s unfair: they said BOTH the lie, AND the truth, all along simultaneously.

Talk of Trump, narcissism, blah blah. Look: my reading is, THERE IS NO Trump. There is no “Team Trump”. There is Team B which has been around for 30 years and folded in Trump, but he’s not even a spokesman and representative for them: he’s a tool. A smashing tool to make all the big people hit themselves in the head with a hammer chasing a housefly, like in Mickey and the Giant. But in their case, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Which is the most hilarious and fun ever, I could watch themselves hit themselves in the face all day. Trump just tweets for two minutes and plays golf then they run around pulling out their hair all day. What’s not to like? “Bombshell” “Walls are closing in” “RussiaRussiaRussia” “War coup” by being promoting free will, relinquishing power and being elected.

I just don’t get it.

Anyway, he gets them chasing their -sses around like 10 year old beagles drooling on the floor AS A DISTRACTION, if you hadn’t noticed. Like is 6 years of running the same playbook not enough here? Over and over and over and over and over and over?

A Distraction? Okay Docktor, then what’s the real? At the end of the 49-year (7×7 +1) year cycle – either natural or pre-planned – they are at their weakest. This is what Kondratieff told Stalin in 1930, same thing. Capitalism boom-busts, the Tulip mania endings are their weak point. You can’t attack them after 1949, as Kennedy found out. You can’t double-cross them as Nixon found out. You’ll be assassinated if you even annoy them as Reagan found out. They’re too strong, at their height of power back then. Since it’s been dropping since Reagan (part II: swap to all debt, no gold) the insiders have to find another ship to attack and pirate and take over: China. Poppa Bush dutifully visited and set that up right then. China happily ALSO double-crossed them, as if they’d let white guys in. Hahahaha! Not the 2nd or 3rd most racist country in the world they won’t. Han rulz, palefaces. Remember the Opium wars where you killed our whole population with drugs and silver? We do.

Anyway, so being decades before the end, Team B had a LOT of time to plan, and wrote it all down. It’s in Fed papers and books if you want to read it. Knowing there was a end date, a risk-crisis, and a “Master Plan”, all they had to do was F’ up the master plan, good and hard, but just once. Didn’t matter what they f’d it up with or who. There was a dozen candidates who would suffice. Since they murdered quite a bunch and delayed long enough a few were now too old, The Donald was the one pulled out of the bag as most handy.

And? He f’d up their plans sooper good and hard. As Michael Moore warned, “The biggest F You in American history.” But they were too busy smelling their own farts to listen. Since they are minions of zero imagination, they simply kept trying to execute the SAME plan, and with 5 years of time lost, doubled down, attempting it twice as fast and twice as hard. Like the losing un-self-aware morons they are.

And here we are. #Winning. We don’t need Trump. We never did. He’s irrelevant then and now. I can’t fathom why people are so golly hypnotized by him, for, but far more especially against. He doesn’t exist. Stop looking at the puppet, look in the blackscreen for the puppeteer. Jesus, why do I have to say these things?

Anyway, the support of all racists and sudden fabrication of white supremacists is about as real here as it is with Sikhs, immigrants, and blacks being suddenly all racists and terrorists in Canada. Yup, and they believe that too. Not 100% of the people there were innocent, only 99%. I guess we’d better not help out. Since like Mary Poppins, I am practically perfect in every way and wouldn’t want to sully myself with commons who maybe once made a mistake. …Unlike myself, of course. If Jesus Christ and Gandhi had a love child, he wouldn’t be good enough to vote for, to me.

…Unlike black-face, cross-dressing, beta-cuck, culture appropriating, Nuremberg-violating Turdeau. Who has possibly murdered more people than anyone in Canadian history. If not with vaccine, with the economy and failed lockdown. Better just leave him in there and not try, I guess. I mean, really?

Lebanon seems to have failed. Turkey is about to fail. U.K. is raising rates. U.S. will raise rates. Some Cryptos have risen 50% today. BTC is official currency in el Salvador, and possibly Panama, Cuba, Malta, or even Ukraine. Russia suggested today they might follow.

Housing and gas have doubled, taxes with them, no one is working, Inflation is 15%, Sachs says “There’s a shortage of everything”. “If it’s a molecule, it’s in shortage.” That’s not items rising. That’s the currency FAILING. It’s currency disruption, and misallocation of all resources due to rigging the markets, esp price of money/time. Time, .e. “human life.” THAT’S why you get paid for it. THAT is what they are stealing. There is plenty of oil (Iran), plenty of gas (Russia) plenty of closed mines worldwide, closed car plants worldwide, closed power plants worldwide, closed chip factories, closed fields, closed fertilizer and plastic plants. Plenty of everything, including workers, and all of it closed. Just like the Great Depression, and for the same reasons.

But that’s the currency FAILING. We need mines, but can’t open them? Due to what exactly, dear? Only the money. All prices rising at the same time? That’s the currency failing. Paper markets and promised failing? That’s the currency failing, or confidence thereof.

That’s the real story, and the real timing. Don’t be distracted. They needed to smash, hammer, discredit, and F up “The MASTER PLAN”, aka, “The Great Reset”, enter villain de jour “Klaus Schwab” bwahahahaha and his sidekick, Emperor Soros. And boy did they ever, and several ways. Since centralization requires this coordination and planning, owning, controlling everything, while being HUMAN is just natural chaos like a beehive, all you have to do to win and act human, be human again, is smash the plan.

Plan smashed. Failers failed. Mission Accomplished. Or almost. We need to play it out. We’re still in the lying, murdering, showboating stage. We haven’t got to currency fail (and therefore universal goods shortage and REAL disruption) yet. That may be harder, but harder “when we’re all in it together” for the first time in our lives is a different thing. Like when it’s -20 and you throw a 2 week rave with free food. Racism and misogyny at it’s finest.

“ US Senator Asks Biden To Release Leonard Peltier (LP)” “…imprisoned for 46 years for crimes he maintains he never committed..”

This is the FBI, and in 1976. The FBI admitted they haven’t the faintest idea who killed those agents, it could have been Leonard, but most likely not. Admitted, on camera. The DoJ happily prosecuted for years, then decades of appeals, knowing all this. Later, they made up a fake prison break so they could shoot him dead, but he/they didn’t take the bait.

This is the same governments saying all Sikh truckers are racist, and white supremacists went from like 5k of 330 million to apparently like 150 million in six weeks (when Obama lost because he backed wall street, evicted black families, attacked 7 brown nations and record was so bad it started BLM protests under him) Get a clue. If they say it, it’s a lie. If the FBI says it, it’s DEFINITELY a lie. Hey, remember that anthrax that guy made in scuba gear at the bottom of a pond? Does that story seem plausible now, or not-so-plausible? That’s your FBI.

“our criminal justice system is imperfect,”

Don’t really have words for this. That’s like saying “A nuclear blast CAN ruffle office papers under the right conditions” Imperfect? Like Armstrong’s SDNY court judge said he would never rule against Wall Street ever once in his 40-year career. Then didn’t. He had open dementia later, and everyone approved.

“Peltier is now 77 years old and ill with multiple health problems,”

Oh! So they don’t want to pay his health care! Nevermind, I understand now.

“massacres of natives took place and as a consequence of this harassment of the Lakota people, more than 250 people of this indigenous nation were murdered, without the crimes having been investigated until now.”

Passive tense. “Investigated”? Passively, by some unnamed entity who’s not really at fault? THIS IS THE FBI. THEY are the “investigators” of these MASS-murders. Reservation jurisdiction. But you see, it was something going on like they wanted an FBI/Federal compliant Native government illegally installed with election fraud, Sandinista/South American style. People THINK, they wanted to erase the whole reservation and turn it into an open Uranium mine that would blow radioactive dust to Milwaukee, so they needed that government to undermine and sell it to them out from the people.

BUT. Like other installed, color revolution states, they just used open oppression, murder, mass-rape, Indian-hunt, rape-safaris, and hospital “accidents” with 90% sterilizations should you end up in one, to control the people. But it still didn’t work because the Lakota cannot be controlled and are not control-type people. And after 3 Mile Island, uranium went out of fashion, with too much visibility, stalling the project. But that’s where Wounded Knee ‘76 came from and for example, Russell Means and AIM. Yes, the actor from “Last Mohican” The FBI was after arresting him for something for decades.

They try these things on THEM before they do the mass roll-out on YOU. Fake charges, fake courtrooms, for protested daring resist child abduction, mass-rape, and mass-murder? Check. Forced sterilizations to kill all humans? Check. Step 3: Profit? Check. STOP IT WITH THEM so you don’t have it come to a suburban neighborhood where you live, arresting guys who visited a school board meeting once, or didn’t even hold a placard. Now have solitary confinement without trial.

…Like Peltier. D—–t I try to tell people these basic things. Decades. If it’s not them in the noose, they just don’t care.

I’ve got a better idea than letting Leonard out to pay for his own health care: put all the FBI agents and DoJ prosecutors IN. They’ve got a few years left, maybe. Then we’ll move on to the fake FBI lab in CT, and the FBI guys running Whitey Bulger for Derp State blackmail and hits.

Is there anything that can make you stop believing in daddy government? Does it have to be a 100% fake, unjust trial rate? Because we’re pretty close to that right now. Does it have to be your kids? Too late.

“ NY Times, Washington Post Driving US to War with Russia over Ukraine (MPN)”

We know this is all real because they just disabled 1/3 of the troops, and sold the strategic oil reserves to drop gas prices 50c. That’s always what you do when you’re going to war. …That you are trying to win.

Pancake on Head, I have no idea what you’re doing.

Your “Data” is “I have an expert (appeal to authority) who disagrees with your expert (appeal to authority). Aha! Therefore your separate-but-equal expert is wrong!”

Do you not know what an “expert” is, what “Data” is, or what a “Logical Fallacy” is? Or in this case, two? One is “Appeal to Authority”, and the second is that if you espouse experts, then logically all PhDs, MDs must be of equal “Authority”.

And where’s the data, FS? Is is simply impossible to crack the book, read the study, and address the DATA? Like, ever?

Okay, logical fallacy level three: YOUR argument is that we should obey authority because “all the experts agree”, “the science is settled” that is, that anybody who dissents from Pfizer is an unscientific crank. Right? Good. BUT, when you bring up the same argument the last few weeks, “MY expert disagrees with YOUR expert (and mine is more popular on CNN/Facebook, i.e. non-scientific locations)” then YOU’RE PROVING OUR ARGUMENT. I mean, thanks, I guess. The argument is: The Science is not settled. It is being discussed, debated, disputed, WITH EVIDENCE. Therefore none of your “Experts” can opine yet, as “Science” is still discussing it and it’s not settled yet.

I mean, do you not know “Experts disagree” and “It’s not settled yet” (so let’s wait) is our whole argument? That you are supporting for us and agreeing with us? Do you really not know this? If it’s not settled then we all MUST allow them, and us, to openly discuss it.

You’re now arguing “experts disagree” but we must not ALLOW them to discuss so they CAN agree and come to consensus. Uh, whut?

And ALSO “My expert is more popular than your expert” (among my my friends) so therefore QED. No data. So we vote on Facebook to create scientific consensus now?

I dunno, man. I mean, I appreciate you proving my argument for me, but it seems a little embarrassing. Your not realizing it, I mean. So after watching for a week or two, I’m letting you in on it.

Experts disagree? And should therefore talk? That’s OUR argument. So? Go ahead and let them talk. With data. And we’ll all read it together.

So: Data. Read the U.S. military sudden illness report? Comments? Under Biden, is the entire US Armed Forces system running some great conspiracy theory too, in conjunction with the entire US Insurance Complex? That gives you a heart attack when you fluff a bedsheet? Thoughts?

Remember, just this once, ADDRESS THE DATA. What do YOU think is happening, aside from the popularity of somebody you’ve never met?

WES, Look, Hew York Times and Washington Post say “send the troops!” ; Wall street Journal, too.
I guess it’s unanimous.

How the Corporate Media Smears Canada’s Freedom Convoy. Trudeau Accuses Them of “Racism, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Homophobia, Transphobia”

Yes, that’s right, New Normal Canada has been invaded and now is under siege by hordes of transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers, racist homophobes, anti-Semitic Islamaphobes, and other members of the working classes!

According to the corporate media, these racist, Russia-backed, working-class berserkers are running amok through the streets of Ottawa,

waving giant “swastika flags, (Guardian)

”defecating on war memorials,

sacking multi-million-dollar “soup kitchens,”

and eating the food right out of homeless people’s mouths.

Rumor has it, a kill-squad of truckers has been prowling the postnatal wards of hospitals, looking for Kuwaiti babies to yank out of their incubators.

https://www.johndayblog.com/2022/02/decertification-proceedings.html

Sunday afternoon when we got back to Austin from working on the Yoakum homestead there was an envelope from the American Board of Family Medicine.
I have been certified by this board for 31 years. I have a recertification test coming up in April, and have met all of the extensive and costly requirements to maintain certification, which include paying for and doing many weeks of their own costly medical education in the past decades, as well as extensive self study.
Half of that continuing-education credit is provided by medical services that I pay for and half is self study.
Last summer, having extensively studied and documented COVID since late 2019, I sent the board a blog link to point out how much research on COVID I had continuously done, which was unsurprisingly was not accepted as proof of self study. Subsequent to that I laboriously entered citations for 150 COVID-19 treatment studies, claiming one hour of credit each, which was accepted.
The “Letter of Concern” states that the Board did look at my blog, and I stand accused of “denigrating vaccination for COVID-19, discouraging the public from being vaccinated, and spreading other misinformation about the virus publicly, including that the vaccine itself contributes to causing COVID-19 infections and death”.
Well, except for the word “misinformation”, which should have the first 3 letters removed, I don’t dispute that statement.
In my reply I pointed out the deaths and serious adverse reactions caused by the genetic therapy “vaccines” available in the US and Europe, and also pointed out that the “negative efficacy” well documented since last summer in UK data, reflects “ADE”, antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicity, caused by the antibodies formed to the original January 2020 spike protein. I also pointed out that in children and young adults the dangers of these treatments clearly outweigh even short term protective benefits, so these people should not be subjected to these treatments in any case.
At the end of my (fairly neatly handwritten) letter, I requested that if the Board decides to decertify me, that I be refunded my full testing fee, which I paid last September. My first guess is that they will find a way to keep the fee and also to add me to their list of sanctioned and decertified non-compliant doctors.
We’ll know by mid April, I guess. I’ll post updates.

Oroboros sent the link to this Michael Hudson article about the US financial relationship with European “allies” (aka “tributary countries”). The $US global financial system needs industrial countries to stay bought-in to $US and buying US federal debt, or else the dollar will become an ordinary currency in the world, be dumped, and the rest of the world will send $US to the US for whatever is on sale that week. The extensive global military occupation forces will be defunded. European countries have absorbed a lot of hurt over the years, but what is now being arranged is the suicidal loss of Russian gas in winter, which will hurt them far more than it will bother Russia.

America’s real adversaries are its European and other allies: The U.S. aim is to keep them from trading with China and Russia

French President Macron had a marathon meeting yesterday with Russian President Putin
Just before flying to Moscow Macron had pointed out in a weekend interview with Le Journal du Dimanche that “The geopolitical objective of Russia today is clearly not Ukraine, but to clarify the rules of cohabitation with NATO and the EU.”
Macron looked very tense and anxious to me, over performing and grasping the arms of his chair rigidly. Putin was relaxed and gracious , as usual. Macron stated his intent as damage-control, prevention of worsening the current situation (aka “avoid war this month”) and said that he could not act unilaterally. (He CAN keep France out of a war with Russia in Ukraine, though). France gets about 25% of natural gas from Russia, is short on reserves and can’t do without it in winter.
France sees the good deal on gas that Hungary just got extended to 2035. Macron faces increasingly stiff competition for the April elections he faces. Macron and Putin spoke positively of the meeting as a “good beginning” kind of thing. Macron needs good press and some kind of a good deal on natural gas.

From Nature: Genetic analysis of Omicron variants in New York sewage shows an extremely broad arary of mutations (which would take years to develop, not months) including mutations that facilitate binding to receptors in mice and rats, such as would arise if the strain had been developed in a lab using “humanized” mice and rats. These are all resistant to vaccine-induced antibodies.
​ ​To monitor New York City (NYC) for the presence of novel variants, we deep sequence most of the receptor binding domain coding sequence of the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from the New York City wastewater. Here we report detecting increasing frequencies of novel cryptic SARS-CoV-2 lineages not recognized in GISAID’s EpiCoV database. These lineages contain mutations that had been rarely observed in clinical samples, including Q493K, Q498Y, E484A, and T572N and share many mutations with the Omicron variant of concern. Some of these mutations expand the tropism of SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses by allowing infection of cells expressing the human, mouse, or rat ACE2 receptor. Finally, pseudoviruses containing the spike amino acid sequence of these lineages were resistant to different classes of receptor binding domain neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.

Attn: “Deflationista” Duplicate post.

@deflationista

The evidence of the efficacy of Ivermectin in the treatment of Covid19 for the prevention of serious illness, hospitalization and death is so OVERWHELMING (especially as a key component of multi featured early treatment) that for all practical and clinical purposes it should be considered to be simple proved fact.

Anyone interested in wasting their precious time re-re-re-viewing the multiple studies can go here : https://c19early.com/

A review of the use of persuasion and coercion to overcome COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
Mitchell B. Liester
University of Colorado School of Medicine

Coercion

When persuasion is ineffective or insufficient, governments may turn to coercion as a means to improve vaccination compliance. Coercive policies to increase vaccination have a long history that predates the COVID19 pandemic [132]. A large body of literature exists regarding the justification for the use of coercion in public health and infectious disease. Generally, such justification is based upon Millian grounds whereby the risk of an unvaccinated individual harming others is viewed as adequate to justify the use of coercion [133].

McCoy found that coercion has historically been utilized by the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia at various times and to varying degrees to improve vaccination rates. However, the use of coercion has met with resistance, resulting in changes to vaccine policies in each of these countries [134]. The primary method of coercion involves compulsory vaccines via mandates, with consequences for non-compliance that include financial penalties/fines, loss of jobs, and restriction of freedoms [135].

The fallacy of bifurcation

Another argument levied against compulsory vaccination is the focus on vaccines as the only solution to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an example of the fallacy of limited options or more specifically, the fallacy of bifurcation. This fallacy is a false dilemma which results from the erroneous limitation of options to only two alternatives. If presented only with the option of getting COVID-19, with the inherent risks and sequelae of this disease, or with the option of getting the vaccine, assuming it is relatively effective and safe, most people would likely get the vaccine. However, a third option exists – using one of the numerous potential treatments that exist for COVID-19 (see Table 4).
