    I guess the vaxxed still watch CBC. I could be nasty and point out how brainwashed they are. Or say they are too trusting of government/media.

    However I think the issue is simply that they are too involved in their own lives and don’t want to be bothered with medical/political issues. The easiest way to make them go away is to do what you are told to do then forget about it.

    Seeing this shortsightedness among people with children and grandkids really does amaze me. Actually it is incredibly irresponsible. We don’t have to worry about the future nor serious issues because Big Brother government will do it all for us

    How’s the trannie movement and governments considering children in the public school system to now be their property going? Ancient Sparta anyone?

    “Target Stores Hit With Bomb Threat After ‘Turning Its Back’ On LGBTQ+ Community:
    “We will continue to bomb your Targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LBGT merchandise.”

    I don’t think I can come up with a better description of who is who. Target said a bunch of things about WHY they pulled the gear. Journalists said, “Really? Do you have any examples?” Of threats, violence, even people being mean? — Crickets – Okay, so you have NO examples of any bad behavior, anywhere, even once, nationwide. But you still felt “unsafe” for some reason, for reasons you can’t express? As like factual things that happened and not a fit of the vapors? The Feelz?

    Yet not even a few days go by and already and ACTUAL bomb threat that ACTUALLY was written down and therefore ACTUALLY happened.

    And also amazing I have to be so verbose and specific to place a very simple, 1-fact point.

    Speaking of national threats: “’Kevin Caved’: McCarthy Savaged Over Debt Ceiling Deal

    McCarthy gave 99% of the Biden plan, getting nothing in return…the one thing he did get is easily reversed and certainly would be. So…prettymuch he’s everything we expected, and the GOP as a Party, excluding, what? 10 Congressmen now? Out of 500? Whooo. Be still my heart.

    “Gingrich: Where Are Woodward And Bernstein When We Need Them

    Where’s Gingrich when we need him? He had a “Pact with America”, has yet to keep a word of it, yet hasn’t retired. So…whatcha been doin’ Newt? I bet if you had a spoon and a teacup you could have dug pretty far by now…if you’d tried. New meaning to the word “despicable.”

    US Builds New Base In Northern Syria, Signaling Indefinite Occupation”

    McCain promised a 100 year war, he’s been dead for 5 years. So who’s running things? Not Congress, I guess, and also not the President. Anyone check the FBI? They seem to have complete power over all government, maybe they know what we’re doing there.

    Occurs to me that building a U.S. Army base costs “money”. This “Money” thing is appropriated by Congress, in the House. Any word on that? Or is it being donated by Amazon or SpaceX as a complete merger of corporation and State?

    “Lululemon Fires Two Store Employees For Calling Police On Masked Robbers”

    They will kill you for defending yourself. If they read the room correctly and these are masked robbers, WHY on earth would you not consider your life in danger and your safety at risk? Lululemon cares more about the ‘look’ than if their cashier is shot, and I suspect that will have to do with the race of the people involved. Removing all doubt Lululemon is racist. And violent about it.

    “The Ukraine conflict could be settled if Kiev were to re-commit to its neutral status, recognize “new territorial realities,” and declare Russian as a state language,”

    They must have evidence that this will not be accepted, as this is merely Minsk III which is pointless.

    “Lavrov: West’s Plans To Send F-16s To Kiev Unacceptable Escalation (TASS) “

    They’re not all the same. Russia distinguishes F16s that can send nukes and those that can’t. You can see why nukes in the air might be dealt with differently. But that leaves the question of WHAT to do.

    “F-16s For Ukraine Won’t Be A Game Changer – Bloomberg (RT) “

    So the point is to CAUSE this escalation, and hopefully, the Russian response. That is to say, Biden’s plan is to nuke us. “Biden Nukes America.” The people don’t mind, there is no reality here.

    “State Department Won’t Say If It’s Working to Free Gonzalo Lira (Antiwar)

    It’s been a month, I was going to ask about this again. Don’t know why some get memory-holed, Alex and so on say nothing about it in Vlogs. I’d mention it every time just to keep pressure and interest. I guess they feel his life has no value.

    “the Ukrainian government is not going to defend any American’s freedom of speech, and that’s a real problem.”

    It’s complicated, as cross-border things are. If Ukraine didn’t like Lira, they could DEPORT HIM. They did the opposite, DEMANDING he stay in the country. Part of the plan, or carelessness of Lira may have been if he became a pain in the -ss enough they would deport him as a citizen and he could go. That backfired as one would expect. So Ukraine more or less MADE him into a spokesman, CREATED him, and MADE him famous, because if he was on the beach in Malibu and not the war zone, he’d just be some guy. But Nazis are dumb like that.

    They COULD, of course, deport him NOW, and not have to…um, feed an American citizen in prison while food and prison guards are in short supply? Nope. Nazis are idiots like that. Why? Because both Ukraine and America WANT it that way. If America could arrest ALL the Vloggers, the Duran, MacGregor, both Alexes, and Berletic, and execute them live on Twitter, they would. They have. But happily, Congress just calls Ze and asks him, green lights him, to shiv a guy for them.

    And does Congress ask for him back? Absolutely not. If they made the world’s mildest diplomatic spat, with $150B and touchy, illegal F16s in play, they would cough him up in hours. “Well son of a bitch” they did it, before the plane was in the air.=. So we can be sure both Congress and Biden WANT Lira dead.

    And no comment from the comment gallery. Really pal? Because “You’re Next.”

    ““I think it was basically just a middle finger to the American public that this is what they think of you.”

    McCarthy then sat on the dirty finger, funding the entire armed, IRS expansion. (as expected)

    McCain “He dead already”. Yes, after mouth-kissing ISIS and doing a reach-around for the Nazis of Ukraine. But that the kind of guy he was.

    “European Commissioner Thierry Breton threatened Twitter CEO Elon Musk with “enforcement”

    This is how it’s done. “Everything is illegal”. We enforce only on our enemies and help our friends. Then Corporations become a wing of government. And vice-versa, it’s a merger. This is why Regulate” is so dangerous, besides it never worked. Look at Madoff, MBS, S&L, and all.

    “We’ll change human nature with one stroke of the pen…” You go with that.

    WRT to the <i>Antiwar.com</i> article on Gonzola Lira: My own personal suspicion is that the Ukrainian state security service arrested Lira at the behest of the “Joe Biden” Administration, so of course they’re not lifting a finger to bring about his release. And The Daily Beast along with The Huffington Post are among the family of US publications, pretty much all of them based in Boston, New York City, or Washington, DC, that I call “Manginas For Missiles”.

    Remember, one of the people on the “kill list”, was Gonzalo Lira – who was picked up in Kharkiv for questioning by the SBU in April 2022 and released perfectly unharmed a few days later.

    Here is what was reported of him after his initial catch and release.

    “Lira is a Chilean-American citizen currently in Kharkov in north-eastern Ukraine where he has lived with his Ukrainian wife and children for some years. Lira rose to prominence as an online citizen journalist with the outbreak of hostilities in late February after Russian forces entered Ukraine for reporting what was actually happening around him in Kiev (where he happened to be at the start of hostilities) and then later in Kharkov on his YouTube channel. Western audiences aware of the disinformation being pushed on them by Western MSM outlets began following Lira and soon alternative news media websites began featuring his reports and interviewing him. His profile rose even more when he failed to turn up to a Zoom interview with British journalist George Galloway on 17 April 2022 and for several days he did not post anything to YouTube or Twitter, causing alarm among his audience who feared he had been arrested, tortured and even murdered by the feared Ukrainian SBU or neo-Nazi gangs. The Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed his disappearance after searching for him. On 22 April 2022, Gonzalo Lira announced through an interview conducted by Alex Christoforou of The Duran that he was alive and well, and had been detained by the SBU since 15 April 2022.”

    Fast forward to this year and he has been arrested again, essentially for the same reasons. Did that bachelor pad shithole have any evidence of the female touch? Children? He has a self funded a safehouse for his family? There was an “obvious table” with Putin books with Putin’s face for the camera to capture. Kinda looks like he needed cover to exit a role scripted for him, CIA perhaps.

    Uncanny that this happens at the same time Ritter on Russian state media, as part of his book tour in Russia telling the Russians that Americans think Russia is winning. More CIA hijinks?

    My own point from yesterday – about, if there are many many instances of fraud and each one in and of itself is not enough to swing a national election, then nevermind…

    I’m talking about the weird one nihilist trick of reducing a thing to its bits, and then saying it is only bits.

    It shows us something that someone thinks this is a totally viable argument to make.

    …and it shows something else that some people seem to actually accept and parrot it.

    Another American institute bows to the Great Green Sweatshirt and proves their administration is filled with idiots:

    “Before Johns Hopkins University graduates moved their tassels to the left on Thursday, they were sent off with a virtual livestream from a surprise commencement speaker: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. […]

    “Following the address, Zelenskyy was awarded with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the university. [Teri’s note: A Doctor of Humane Letters is an honorary degree, generally awarded for significant contributions to society. Given that ‘humane’ can be defined as showing compassion, understanding, mercy, and tolerance, one can only marvel at Zelensky receiving such an honor.]

    “It’s Zelenskyy’s first commencement speech since May 2022, three months after Russia invaded his country. In a video address to Stanford graduates [at that time], he outlined how the West can support Ukraine and urged students to pursue their passions, as many draftees into the war won’t have the chance to attend college.”

    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/25/zelenskyy-surprise-johns-hopkins-commencement-speech-00098776

    Stanford and Johns Hopkins invited this mush-head grifter to address their graduates. That’s just dismal.

    desantis-says-he-would-sign-legislation-to-defund-corrupt-irs
    Oh, yeah, that’s going to work well. And when the IRS makes a mistake and no one can speak to a real person? The IRS cashed my business’s check for 2022 unemployment tax, but claims to not have received the paper return present in the same envelope. I have to get a copy of the deposited check from my credit union. The check was converted to an electronic transaction, so my credit union has to request the paper check from the federal government. I filed my corporate taxes electronically with HR Block software. The software received confirmation that the return was received. The IRS claims that they never got it. Instead, the IRS claims that they received the FUT return, the one on paper that came in the en elope with the check, electronically.

    The IRS needs to drop partisanship and focus on the business of correctly handling federal tax and the associated data, etc. “Defunding” it doesn’t help the situation and is likely to make it worse. The IRS needs proper management.

    Yes. It is utterly revolting.

    However…I want more information. What we saw there were compromising photos plus a translated allegation. They are collected together in a way to suggest a specific narrative. There is no information regarding the source — other than it being “Russian.” It could be 100% real. It could be fake. In Russia, it works well as propaganda — stoking an emotional response from the people of Russia as they sacrifice to fight The West in Ukraine, Hunter standing as a proxy for his father, who represents the US, who represents the fight in Ukraine. For the Russian people, the Biden family influence-peddling scheme is likely to sound like “business-as-usual” political corruption. In the US, the Biden money-laundering alone can cause anger in the people. If it is real, there are many in the US who carry no love for the Biden family, and more information will come out.

    One of the first questions that I have about the images is what is the significance of the headband things that the girls are wearing? I think that may shed some more light on authenticating the images.

    Alastair Crooke today:

    The recent G7 summit should be understood as firstly, the shaping of a battlespace in the ‘War of Narratives’ whose principal ‘front’ today is the Team Biden insistence that only one ‘reality’ — the US-led ‘Rules’ ideology (and it alone) – can predominate. And, secondly to underline pointedly that the West is ‘not losing’ in this war against the other ‘reality’. This other reality is the multivalent ‘otherness’ that self-evidently is attracting more and more support around the world.

    Many in the West are simply unaware of how fast the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting: The original plate bifurcation (the failed financial war declared on Russia), already has led to a building wave. Anger is growing. People now no longer feel alone in rejecting western hegemony – they “no longer care”. […]

    Radio Silence Concerning FDR’s Repudiation of Debts

    Well, that was a nauseatingly circumlocutory mechanism of propaganda to substantiate & legitimize FDR’s socialist confiscation of private property, flipping 500+ years of contract law on it’s head, “for the greater good” 🙄

    Par for the course from a typical born, bred & indoctrinated EU Imperial drone…

    Of course a Frenchmen would never repudiate any mob tyranny manifested by Direct Democracy, which is no doubt why Toussaint glossed over the most damaging expects of FDR’s ruthless reign of terror…

    Mange Les Riches!

    Confiscating We The People’s *wealth* was, although insanely despotic & capricious, FAR eclipsed by the *permanent* establishment of *EMERGENCY POWERS* for executive branches of .GOV, a nightmare still in effect (non-stop), to this day 🙄

    I don’t know if Toussant is even cognizant (highly doubtful as a EU cheerleader), but the *entire* legal foundation of America was upended & re-codified under *EMERGENCY POWERS*, first at .FED level, then filtering down across the country (state.gov > county.gov > city.gov within 2 decades), the sole empowering factor metamorphosing America from a Democratic Republic > Fascist Banking/MIC Empire.

    Natural Law (sovereign rights + private property) was abandoned & replaced with Equity (Corporate) + Admiralty (State) jurisprudence as America’s defacto vexillum…

    March 1933 was America’s Crossing The Rubicon moment, greeted with We The People’s thundering approval…

    Imperial sentiment is everywhere, across strip malls from Sea-To-Shining-Sea, where We The People get *exactly* what they *think* they want, good & hard!

    …and you can’t just “abolish” the IRS.

    This is the last time I will relay such *HARD TRUTHS*, as I grow weary of fruitless endeavors to spread *solutions* almost no one wants…

    Sustaining Impossible Beliefs https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/sustaining-impossible-beliefs

    Vanessa Beeley , NATO’s dirty war in Ukraine.
    Are Ukraine’s neo-Nazi divisions deploying NATO-supplied chemical weapons? A recent report published by the Russian Federal News Agency suggests that NATO is preparing wide scale use of chemical weapons against civilians in Donbass and in ongoing military campaigns..
    According to the article during the defence of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) Ukraine used drone-delivered ammunition containing toxic substances. The neo-Nazi ‘Birds of Madyar’ air reconnaissance team were identified as deploying these weapons. Since April 2023, Ukrainian-manufactured Teren 6 gas grenades have also been delivered by UAVs…
    ..Flechette darts kill and maim indiscriminately as do the “petal” mines that are often trodden on by unsuspecting children causing terrible mutilation…
    ..We must understand that Ukraine in this war has no limiters at all, no “ stops ”. Great Britain supplied depleted uranium shells. And what did it lead to? To the mass flight of citizens from those areas where warehouses with these ammunition were destroyed. And this is not we measuring the radiation background in Ukraine, it is the citizens themselves who measure it and see that the level has risen.

    Ukraine claims Russia planning ‘massive’ incident at nuclear site
    Ukraine’s defence intelligence directorate warns Russia will simulate an attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
    (Huh?) Ukraine’s defence ministry has warned that Russia plans to simulate a major accident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, which is under the control of Russian forces, in a bid to thwart the expected counteroffensive by Ukraine to retake its territory captured by Moscow.

    Believing Impossible Things, Alastair Crooke
    The endless bitter antagonism to Putin and to Russia has allowed a self-imagined reality to detach, ultimately becoming a delusion.
    The recent G7 summit should be understood as firstly, the shaping of a battlespace in the ‘War of Narratives’ whose principal ‘front’ today is the Team Biden insistence that only one ‘reality’ — the US-led ‘Rules’ ideology (and it alone) – can predominate. And, secondly to underline pointedly that the West is ‘not losing’ in this war against the other ‘reality’. This other reality is the multivalent ‘otherness’ that self-evidently is attracting more and more support around the world.
    Many in the West are simply unaware of how fast the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting: The original plate bifurcation (the failed financial war declared on Russia), already has led to a building wave. Anger is growing. People now no longer feel alone in rejecting western hegemony – they “no longer care”.
    In just the week that preceded the G7 summit, the Arab League literally ‘went multi-polar’; It quit its former pro-US automaticity. The embrace of President Assad and the Syrian government was both the logical consequence to the secondary tectonic-plate shift set in motion by China with its Saudi-Iranian diplomacy…
    ..For the West, it is ontologically impossible to tolerate their reality being disassembled: to see their society and the world split in two. The narrative reality is so embedded via the well-honed effectiveness of MSM messaging however, that politicians have become lazy. They do not have to argue their case, and have no incentive to hold back on untruths either.
    The dynamics are exorable: an over-hyped ‘monolithic reality’ evolves into a Manichaean fight to the death. Any backsliding by ‘principals’ could result in the collapse of the Media narrative ‘house of cards’. (This notion of a monolithic reality is not one shared by most other societies who see reality as multi-faceted).
    Denial becomes endemic. So, we witness a hawkish G7, diverting from the narrative setback (of Bakhmut falling) by the casual embrace of a ploy to supply F-16s to Ukraine; chastising China for not making President Putin ‘back off’ in Ukraine; and using the meeting to set a narrative framework for the coming confrontation with China on trade issues and Taiwan…
    ..China angrily responded to the G7 summit allegation that it had become a workshop for “smearing” and slandering China.
    This extensive narrative-shaping for China confrontation is seen to be necessary by the G7 as the rest of the world does not view China as a genuine ‘threat’ to the US: Rather, they understand that the true ‘threats’ to the US derive from its internal divisions, and not from external sources.
    The G7 salience lies not so much with the anti-China narratives launched, but, plainly said, because the entire episode expresses a western hubristic denial, which portends extreme danger in respect to Ukraine. It speaks to the reality that the West — in its present mental mode — will be unable to put forward any credible political initiative to end the Ukraine conflict…
    ..The G7 language abjures all serious diplomacy, and signals that the imperative remains to stick with the ‘not losing’ mantra: The fall of Bakhmut is no defeat for Kiev, but a Pyrrhic loss for Putin; Ukraine is winning, Putin is losing, was the G7 messaging…
    ..That President Xi could – or would – pressure Putin ‘to back-off’ in Ukraine, and accept a ceasefire on EU terms — which are the ‘Zelensky terms’ — is delusional. Yet some key EU leaders genuinely seem to think Putin can be arm-twisted by Xi or Modi into exiting Ukraine on terms wholly favourable to Kiev. These European leaders simply are dangerously hostage to the psychological processes fuelling their denialism.
    Russia is ‘winning’ on the financial war front, and on the global diplomatic front. It has the overwhelming advantage in force numbers; it has the advantage in weaponry; it has the advantage in the skies and in the Electro-magnetic sphere. Whereas Ukraine is in disarray, its forces decimated and the Kiev entity is crumbling fast.
    Don’t they ‘get it’? No…
    ..What next? Russia likely will wait to see whether Kiev is able to mount an offensive — or not. If Kiev does launch an offensive, it would make sense for Russia to let the Ukrainian forces throw themselves upon the Russian defensive lines, and expend their forces further, in a new ‘meat grinder’. Moscow will test whether Kiev’s patrons are then ready to acknowledge ‘facts on the ground’, rather than some imagined reality, by acquiescing to Moscow’s terms…
    ..Col Davis says “there is little likelihood the [the F-16] fighters will see combat over the skies of Ukraine this year”. So, Biden just casually extended the war well beyond September.
    If Europe wants an early end to the war, it must hope for the Kiev ‘project’ to implode soon. (And it might do just that, F-16s notwithstanding.)

    ​ ​US Building New Base in Northern Syria , The construction demonstrates that the US has no plans to leave Syria
    The US-led anti-ISIS coalition is building a new military base in Syria’s northern province of Raqqa, The New Arab reported, citing a source close to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
    The US backs the SDF and keeps about 900 troops in eastern Syria, allowing the US to control about one-third of Syria’s territory. The report said there are currently about 24 US-led military sites spread throughout eastern Syria.
    While the US says it’s in Syria to fight ISIS, the presence is part of Washington’s economic war against Damascus, which includes crippling economic sanctions. ISIS also holds no significant territory, and the Syrian government and its allies would continue to fight the remnants of the terror group if the US withdrew.
    But the construction of a new base demonstrates the US plans to continue the occupation indefinitely.
    In March, the House voted down a resolution introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) that would have ordered President Biden to withdraw from Syria.

    Those vaccinated against COVID-19 have a 26 percent higher mortality rate on average compared to those who declined the jab – and the death toll is even more staggering for vaccinated people under 50 years old, where mortality is 49 percent higher than for those unvaccinated..
    ..“Worst of all – the people who only took one dose of the vaccine have an approximately 145 percent worse mortality rate,” Stirling said and explained that this even higher death rate applies to those who took the first shot and then had adverse reactions, making them stop the planned vaccination schedule.

    600,000 Americans Per Year Are Dying From COVID Shots Says Top Insurance Analyst

    A Washington state appeals court has granted an emergency injunction to a retired doctor facing disciplinary action from the Washington Medical Commission (WMC) over articles he wrote against the official COVID-19 narrative in 2021.
    Dr. Richard J. Eggleston, a retired ophthalmologist in Clarkston, Washington, faces disciplinary action over articles published in the Lewiston Tribune he wrote challenged the prevailing information and guidance regarding the pandemic.
    During the pandemic, doctors could be accused of spreading misinformation if they provided advice contrary to the official information. This included, for example, advocating or prescribing treatments such as ivermectin or disagreeing with the effectiveness of face masks and vaccines…
    ..The WMC filed charges against Dr. Eggleston, accusing him of unprofessional conduct, including spreading false information and misinformation about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its treatments. They assert that his actions violated state laws related to moral turpitude, misrepresentation, and interference with an investigation.
    In response to the charges, Dr. Eggleston has maintained his innocence and has argued that his articles are protected under the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech. He sought to have the disciplinary proceedings dismissed on the grounds that the statutes applied by the WMC infringed upon his constitutional rights…
    ..[Judge] Landrus favored the retired doctor’s argument, saying public dialogue by professionals receives strong First Amendment protection, and the mere fact of prosecution can have a “chilling effect” on the exercise of these rights for Dr. Eggleston and other medical professionals.

    Steve Kirsch, COVID vaccines have likely caused over 25,000 new cases of multiple sclerosis (MS)
    ​ ​A paper abstract that appeared on the WHO website created quite a stir because it showed the biological mechanism for how COVID vaccines can induce multiple sclerosis…What the paper didn’t say is how common this is or whether it is causal. It certainly looks causal, but causality requires more than just biological plausibility…​ [The mechanism is explained in the next ​link. Spike protein has some antigenic areas that resemble myelin sheath constituents.]
    ​..​This also shows the CDC is corrupt that they are hiding this information. They could have easily done the same research I did and verified all five causality requirements were satisfied. Are you surprised they didn’t do this?
    ​ ​The observations (in VAERS and in the papers cited below) cannot be explained any other way.
    ​ ​If someone has a more plausible explanation for the 28X increase in reporting rates in VAERS, I’m all ears (for symptoms unrelated to the vaccine, reporting rates in the queries are comparable).
    ​ ​Multiple papers support the hypothesis that COVID vaccines cause MS
    https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/covid-vaccines-have-likely-caused

    ​ Nursing Educator, Dr.John Campbell explains the WHO paper mentioned above (which he could still find)​, so he won’t be censored for explaining how COVID mRNA “vaccines” can cause an autoimmune response against Myelin Basic Protein and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein, which are necessary for normal nerve conduction. Damage tothe myelin sheaths in the nervous system is the proximalcause of Multiple Sclerosis.

    ​ Steve Kirsch, Parent survey results: vaccines increase the risk of autism, autoimmune disorders, etc.
    Preliminary analysis of the results of my 10,000 child survey show that Andrew Wakefield was right: vaccines cause autism. There is simply no other way to explain these results.
    Nobody could find a Bradford Hill criteria that is NOT satisfied. Some people said that there are autistic kids who weren’t vaccinated, but I never claimed it was the only cause of autism, but it is, by far, the major cause of autism.
    Parents were right about vaccines causing autism…
    ​..​How do you know it is the vaccines and not office visits?​ ​https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/101/3/383/61917/Acute-Encephalopathy-Followed-by-Permanent-Brain?redirectedFrom=fulltext?autologincheck=redirected
    In this 1998 paper in Pediatrics, you can see that in this study, only the measles vaccine caused autism cases, not the mumps or rubella vaccines.
    So it is vaccine-type dependent.
    How do you explain that? The paper has been out for 25 years and never been retracted. Uh oh!
    They can’t explain it. It’s been in public view for 25 years and NOBODY can explain it.

    ​ ​Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism in 2002 in NEJM that has been widely cited by others (over 1,000 other papers) as strong evidence that vaccines don’t cause autism.
    ​ ​Hviid and his colleagues chose a study design that was designed to look credible but obscure any signal. So when they found no signal they could claim victory, that there was “no association.”
    ​ But the real meaning of what they found is that “the study design we choose is unable to find a signal.” That can either mean:
    ​ ​The methodology was inappropriate to find a signal
    ​ ​The data was corrupted
    ​ ​There were confounding factors such as a change in reporting requirements that obscured a signal
    ​ ​There is no signal
    In Hviid’s case, the first three were true.

    ​ ​Three years of non-stop propaganda of “covid” everything, but few people realize that in fact, we have had 2 “scary scary virus” epidemics since 2020: covid AND Marburg! Did you know that? …​ ​
    ​..Yet, as the Federal register shows, we have had a Marburg epidemic in the US since December 2020. The PREP act declarations and EUAs remain in place for both Covid and Marburg. To keep the money and weapons and psy-op cycles flowing.
    ​ ​I read a Department of Homeland Security memo on Marburg, basically stating we don’t really know anything about it, but it’s definitely a scary scary virus, and here are some numbers that we made up just to generate some official sounding text. Statistics on lethality are all over the place. Some sources claim 90%+, ​ ​WHO says 88%, but calculating from the 25 primary cases/7 deaths – 28%, some other sources claim 50%.
    ​​Whatever that Marburg thing is – it needs to be injected to “work”. Highly lethal = it doesn’t really spread.

    ‘Cause the evidence is a crime.

    And no one wants to think about it- it is too disturbing. And parents want to protect family status instead of deal with it. (Not our priest! Not Uncle Chuck! Not our neighbor!…)
    And no one wants to talk about stuff from long ago. And no one wants to recognize that they wouldn’t get turned on by (….) if they hadn’t been (….) by that priest when they were eight.
    It is one of the ugliest things in this ugly turn of events world right now.
    And all the evidence is itself a crime.

    I’m talking about the weird one nihilist trick of reducing a thing to its bits, and then saying it is only bits.”

    You’ve got the religion of modern scientific materialism in a nutshell. I think it’s in Hamlet “To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander the Great, till he find [his atoms] stopping a bung-hole?

    Horatio: Twere to consider too curiously, to consider so.

    Reduce Alexander from the Big Bang, down a billion years, THEN a few short centuries into dust. Why then! His death or mine or my killing him hardly matters now does it?

    Hamlet does exactly this: he reduces, and philosophizes to avoid DOING HIS JOB, which will be to kill the king and return justice out of the hands of a wicked, thieving, murderer. “It’s only dust, why bother?”

    This is the peculiar thinking of “new” science, that removes all God – or even question of philosophy, of “what things are” from science, and from science, from any daily thought or question. We have banished him. “God is Dead” haven’t you heard? Ha ha ha: we so smart! So far as I know, no one else yet had the pinnacle of hubris to try this, but there’s always a first time. So “god” is just Atoms, banging blindly, as Piroia says. It’s the “little pebbles” theory. There is no God and no meaning. Why?

    THEREFORE NOTHING I DO IS WRONG. It’s all for me. You can’t judge me. It’s all relative. Why not?
    Here’s why not: if it’s all so relative and you have no right or wrong, why are you attacking ME over YOUR guilty conscience? Why do you care what I think? To you, I’m a maggot, or the same, a bunch of babbling, banging atoms. YET YOU DO.

    You do go bananas if I, or someone like me, doesn’t APPROVE of your gay lifestyle or your drug use or heaven knows what. I’m all the way across the country, hiding in my house, never met you, never will, yet YOU can’t stand it. Why is that? Why is that except a guilty conscience because actions DO have meaning. They DO. And there IS right and wrong. There IS. And there IS a God, and you can smell him out there somewhere, hovering over you, judging you. It’s not me. And it’s not “God” either, White Bearded Sky-Father, it’s YOURSELF. YOU know it’s wrong.

    If there really weren’t, it would never cross your mind ever, like aliens so small they can dance on a pin, or wavelengths of light you can see. But it DOES bug you, always and forever, because it’s not FROM ME, you fools, the fear, the guilt, the right and wrong is coming up out of YOU. It’s YOU. Your conscience, your God-source. Not me. That’s why you feel guilty. I just say it online as a responsibility to tell you, “if you do this thing, it won’t proceed well, and ALSO make you feel bad (guilty).” They’re mad at me like I caused it. If you jump off a building and I tell you not to, I didn’t cause gravity folks. That’s not “hate” to warn you. It’s love.

    But if you believe there is no action, no intelligence, no meaning, no goals, no creator, then that will all drive you quite crazy, won’t it? As indeed it’s driven our whole culture crazy, to within an inch of its life.

    That’s the “Tiny Rocks” theory of Nothing. Of breaking it all into its parts so you can dissolve the meaning, and therefore your responsibility, and your morality. And as you say, the belief and support of that psychopathy is widespread indeed and goes everywhere, even to elections.

    https://www.theorganicprepper.com/gaslighting/
    Article on gaslighting, which again shows nothing about us, but everything about how they are psychologically constructed. If you can see through it, it becomes so obvious it’s painful, and terribly simple to respond.

    Naturally this is about the “leaders” who are running via Bernays, and the rest of us of whatever stripe. Following with specific, textbook examples from every mainstream media, yesterday.

    My problem is, I can and do tell the abused (woman) this. However, it has no value in the slightest: she believes the abuser and not me. I could save myself a lot of effort. Fits with the expression of universal mental illness, as “Science” above: the last refuge of the deeply mentally ill. IYI, Intelligent, yet un-WISE. Wisdom comes from re-adding heart so you don’t hand nuclear bombs ‘n stuff off to unrestrained toddler-children like Congress.

    Have Scientists never seen a “Movie”? They’re the villains in all of them. Like Jurassic Park.
