@UpstateNYer: Chard is tough, and if you have it in a pot, you can bring the pot in or partly in, maybe a sealed garage, whatever avoids a hard freeze. It’s mostly like spinach, right? Especially if you cut out the thicker parts. Chard is semi perennial here. It will go at least 2 years. It’s a leaf-beet. How much chard and raddishes can you eat, though? Bush beans? They’ll handle those temps. Black Krim tomatoes (from Crimea) are wonderful and about as early as Early Girls. I hope you don’t have critters.

Alas, I am involved in much more primary activities. It took me 7 hours to mow the 4/5 acre this weekend, and very hard mowing it was, due to grass thickness, density and wetness. Under easy conditions, I am done in a little under 4 hours, and never have to push hard, or push-pull-push-pull-push-pull for hours. I have a picture of the mowed area around the Mexican-avocado orchard (replanted in March-April after February deep-freeze). Im trying to catch up on reading to make a post.

Dr.D quoted from Rolling Stone: “Hear from the other side: “99.2 Percent of All U.S. Covid Deaths Are Unvaccinated, New Analysis Shows — If you’re pushing anti-vax bullshit, you’re getting people killed” –Rolling Stone

May would have been a watershed month. Deaths lag cases/diagnoses by about 1 month, so look at the month of April for the population characteristics.
Look at the definition of “COVID Death”, which was still “any positive test within a month”.
May was cherry-picked, obviously, to give the highest possible ratio of unvaccinated-deaths to vaccinated deaths, but 99:1 remains impressive. It would be prudent to scrutinize that data, but even more prudent to look at current trends, with vaccinated populations having a lot of unexpected setbacks and upsets.

Hi Oxymoron!
Dance Your Life https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/07/dance-your-life.html

Overstimulated,

Paralyzed by too much information, is just where the machine wants us to stay.
There is always more information coming.
Don’t act yet, except, maybe click these boxes and enter your credit card.
Don’t act outside the machine-pattern! Don’t grow your tendrils out to the light!
Life is complex and adaptive, growing this way, then that way, like a tomato vine, not usually like a field of regimented cornstalks, awaiting the combine….

Take spontaneous actions. Plant vegetables. Go for a walk. Bike to the store.
Where will you lock the bike? How will you carry the groceries? Do you have anything you can adapt to that functionality?

Break free of the machine by dancing your every day life, guided by love, whimsy, and curiosity.
Engage the archetypal patterns of vegetable gardening.
Let the lives of the plants and their variability teach you. Let the seasons and their uncertainty teach you.
Know the satisfaction of a few good fruits, and the frustration of squirrels in your peach trees.
(Uh, don’t advocate shooting squirrels, even with a smiley face emoji, or Facebook will ban you for 24 hours. Hi Randy!)

Do you dance like a white-boy? Do you look kinda; like you’re jogging? Are you wacky and unpredictable? Are you sleek and suave?
Go for it!
Keep dancing your life.

Supplementing a highly-bioavailable form of quercetin greatly improved COVID-19 treatment out comes. This is a naturally occurring substance in most food plants we eat. Not mentioned in the paper is that it helps zinc, known to inhibit coronavirus reproduction, get into human cells.
Results: The results revealed a reduction in frequency and length of hospitalization, in need of non-invasive oxygen therapy, in progression to intensive care units and in number of deaths. The results also confirmed the very high safety profile of quercetin and suggested possible anti-fatigue and pro​ ​appetite properties.

​Ground-laying research about the highly-bioavailable formulation, “quercetin phytosome”, mixed with lecithin, and readily available in the retail market.
​ ​Quercetin (3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) is a natural flavonoid compound widely found in vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Major dietary sources of quercetin are apple, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, and black and green tea… increasing the water solubility of quercetin would enhance its oral bioavailability…
​ ​A more soluble formulation of quercetin based on lecithin, Quercetin Phytosome, has recently been developed, and was found to facilitate the attainment of very high plasma levels of quercetin—up to 20 times more than usually obtained following a dose of quercetin—when the novel formulation was administered orally in human volunteers, and it did not have any notable side effects.

It says that antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 happen to also attack a protein in the lungs that looks similar to a viral protein.​ This happens in the second week of illness and creates the sudden and severe “cytokine storm” crisis, which has been responsible for many of the deaths.

PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI — As shock grips the Caribbean island nation of Haiti following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, the Haitian government has carried out a campaign to arrest suspects it alleges are responsible for the murder.
​ ​Haitian Director of National Police Leon Charles announced at a press conference that the assassination squad that killed Moise is comprised of 28 foreigners, including two Haitian-Americans and 26 Colombian nationals. Fifteen of those Colombians have been detained while three were killed in a gun battle and eight remain fugitives.​..​
While the Haitian-Americans reportedly served as translators, the muscle of the assassination squad came from Colombia, the U.S.’s top regional ally, which serves as a platform for destabilization and regime change plots in the region, from Venezuela to Ecuador – and now apparently Haiti…
​ ​Questions also remain about why Moïse’s security team failed to protect him, and if any of its members were complicit in the murder…
As the investigation into Moïse’s murder unfolds, the U.S. appears to be preparing the groundwork to deploy troops to Haiti at the request of a figure whom it has spent decades grooming. According to The New York Times, Claude Joseph, who is in a struggle against Dr. Ariel Henry to head the Haitian state in the wake of Moïse’s assassination, requested the U.S. send military forces to guard key infrastructure, including the port, airport, and gasoline reserves.
Joseph is an asset of the United States and its regime-change arm, the National Endowment For Democracy. Wikileaks cables revealed that he first came to prominence in 2003 as the leader of a NED-spawned student front called GRAFNEH in the lead up to the coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He also founded another NED-funded anti-Aristide group Initiative Citoyenne (Citizens’ Initiative). He is reported by Haitian radio stations to have been, with prominent Haitian ex-Deputy Gary Bodeau, one of the principal assailants who severely beat the late Father Gérard Jean-Juste in a Pétionville church in 2005…
“Essentially, we have a U.S. puppet asking his puppeteer to invade Haiti for the fourth time in just over a century,” Ives concluded. “But both the region and, above all, the Haitian people are sick and tired of U.S. military interventions, which are largely responsible for the nation’s current debilitated, critical state both economically and politically. Much of the most oppressed neighborhoods are now heavily armed and have already announced a revolution against the likes of Boulos, so the U.S.-led invaders of 2021 are likely to face a resistance similar to that which emerged against the U.S. Marines in 1915 and UN ‘peace-keepers’ in 2004, only more ferocious.”

Suspected Assassins of Haitian President Moïse Trained by US, Linked to Pro-Coup Oligarchy

​As Haiti-like-circumstances prepare to come to your town, John Ward has some thoughts, and might have a group t-shirt coming for “Underfire”.
​ The legislators in the US Congress and their equivalents across the Anglosphere are bought – and unwilling to grasp the depth of human crisis we face.
That’s why we’ve started UnderFire….a movement recognising that regional and local community blocking of these inhuman ideas is the only realistic defence we have left. The average citizen identifies more with what’s happening in South Dakota or Bavaria than they do with what’s going on in Ossetia, Brussels or Langley Virginia.
Local politics and community solidarity is more than a match for ideological fantasy. But there is a lot of ground to make up: the need going forward is for a gentle persuasion – as things inevitably get worse – of those whose understandable trust in authority has been betrayed by the forces of darkness.

I’ll insert a word-in-edgewise to say that extremes of wealth disparity (“oppression”) have always been followed by rests of the financial-political regime in the past. The owners know this better than we do. Any reset redistributes wealth and power away from them and to the civilian population. Any such reset would necessarily rebuild productive economy in the US, which has been gutted and extracted by hedge-fund-capitalism since the mid 1990s (at least). Most of the impressive “GDP” in the US is asset-extraction and loans these days. One more stage of control can forestall the reallocation of assets, maybe forever…

So. What about electromagnetic fields and behavioral modification?
​ ​First, a philosophical statement. I think it would be fair to say that, based on the history of human corruption, if there is a technology that can be used to influence citizen behavior for the benefit of corporate or state powers, it will likely be at the very least attempted—and that is regardless of the potential of any technology to save poor orphans or nobly treat rare diseases. It’s just that corruption tends to take over no matter what.
​ ​What’s the antidote to the upcoming (or ongoing) attempt at covert behavioral modification? I think the antidote is the same as it’s always been. It’s spiritual strength, the desire to understand the truth and do what’s right. It’s good relationships. It’s courage and love. Evil maniacs might be yelling propaganda or beaming electromagnetic frequencies at our brains, and it may be unpleasant—but we are here on this planet for a reason, and we have what it takes to walk our paths straight up. We cannot be defeated if we don’t agree to it. We have love.

@Germ, V.Arnold and Oxymoron:
First, I assumed V.Arnold lived in Chiang Mai, too, but I was wrong, too.
I tried to get my family away, and we did go away for 9 months of traveling around the world with bikes and backpacks in 2005-2006. I interviewed for a job in Christchurch, New Zealand. Those were the early Bush-11 GWOT years, and I already knew about who did 9/11 and why, the GWOT… They were not going to take my children. You may recall the calls for a new draft back then.
It did not work, except the trip worked. The kids all became young adults. They started as 12-15 year old kids and finished as 13-16 year old young adults. Next, I worked a couple more years in Austin, then started working gigs in rural Hawaii, on Hawaii, The Big Island. The younger kids went to school there for a day. When Jenny and I finally moved there, it did not work out for the clinic finances, and half a year later, Austin accepted us back. Social capital, and criticality of transitions were brought to light. The kids are all alright. The girls got COVID, and took ivermectin, zinc and doxy. Everybody takes D. Everybody has a job.

More of the same…
https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/07/cowpeas-and-weevils.html

Here is the lowdown on growing Field Peas, from Hoss Tools, information that I found over the weekend.
https://hosstools.com/growing-best-field-peas-garden/

I have ordered some Misssissippi Purplehull peas, the most disease resistant variety they sell, developed by the Mississippi Ag. Experiment station in 1973. They call it a “crowder” type of field pea. It is not sold as weevil-resistant, but nothing is. https://hosstools.com/product/mississippi-purplehull-pea/

I also ordered some Red Ripper a vining type of “Crowder” pea, widely sold, widely planted in Texas, an old variety. It’s good for eating, or as a cover crop, and drought tolerant. They don’t say anything about weevils. I’m going to do the test. https://hosstools.com/product/red-ripper-pea/

The Mackey peas are out to the chicken yard. I’ll plant these 2 types when they come in. I’ll see how many I get after the weevils are through, and if I like them better than whippoorwill peas

Interesting points I learned are that the weevils don’t attack new world beans, like black beans and pinto beans, or at least don’t do much harm. New world beans and weevils co-evolved, so the beans developed a defense (or they would have been eradicated). A strategy is to plant beans before cowpeas (typically planted earlier in spring) to attract the weevils to a futile effort. The new world beans developed a chemical that blocks the digestion of starch by the weevils. The African beans (cowpeas) don’t have that protection. Another strategy is to plant the cowpeas/field-peas/southern-peas in August and grow them into the fall. The weevils save up fat for winter in the fall, and lay fewer eggs, so they do less damage than in spring and summer.

It’s a lot of work shelling southern peas, at least for what you get, but it’s more work shelling black beans. I looked up high (Combine harvesters, outta’ my league) and low tech ways of threshing them. The best I came up with uses burlap bags, beaten with sticks as they hang, and the beans let out a hole in the bottom. All the methods involve beating them with sticks and separating the beans from the pile of husks. This looks easiest:
https://www.almanac.com/extra/threshing-dry-beans-john-withees-bean-bag-method

I might try growing pinto beans next year.
I really am focused on how much work for how much food, now. This is probably the main factor in how traditionally grown varieties were chosen and developed. It includes factors like insect loss and time to process and shelf life all together.

“And now for something completely different…”
https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/07/cowpeas-and-weevils.html

Cowpea curculio is a weevil that can be very destructive to the crops it attacks.
This pest is just as destructive to southern peas as the boll weevil is to cotton.
The cowpea weevil is originally from Mexico and Central America.
This weevil arrived in North America in the 1800s.
​ ​David Riley, professor of entomology at the University of Georgia, has been conducting research on cowpea curculio for the past eight years. He says weevils wreak havoc on southern pea crops when the peas start to flower. “The cowpea weevils will come into the fields and search for young developing pea pods to lay their eggs in,” says Riley. “They will eat a little hole and lay an egg inside the pea pod. The egg will then hatch inside the pod, and the little grub will start to feed on the pea. It eventually eats the pea. When it matures, the grub will come out of the pea pod, drop to the ground, and then it will pupate in the soil.”

Cowpea Curculio Wreaking Havoc in the Southeast

​ A few years ago I started growing “field peas”, Whippoorwill type, once the most grown type in the US, grown by Thomas Jefferson, “once the standard”. They grow in all soils, and keep producing all season. Those are good characteristics. The peas (beans, actually, but African beans, not new world beans) are smallish, dense and benefit from being soaked and cooked longer than “Queen Ann” blackeyed peas that you buy in the store. They have done fine for me. I never had weevil problems, so I never learned more about weevils, but I decided to try other kinds of blackeyed peas last year, so I started learning about weevils.
​https://www.southernexposure.com/products/whippoorwill-southern-pea-cowpea/

Last year, and this year, I have also grown Mackey Peas, a Texas heirloom, a bigger, softer pea, with more pea mass and a nicer flavor and texture. Halfway through last season, growing them in Yoakum, I noticed more and more weevil damage to pods and peas. This year I grew them in Austin and grew the whippoorwill peas in Yoakum. It’s the peas, not the place. The weevils find them. It got so bad that most pods had a minority of the peas good, or none at all, empty pods. I just took the row out, and Jenny is taking it to friendly chickens that don’t complain. The Whippoorwill peas in Yoakum are doing fine. I won’t plant Mackey Peas again.

@UpstateNYer: I suspect AI is farther along than we can tell, but it may also be like bitcoin-mining.
It takes so much electricity and processing to do that it can reach some kind of a peak, but not be broadly applicable. The designers are trying to pull all the information in the world into a central intelligence (which they command). Internet of 5G things and people… Like an all green economy, there is not enough fossil fuel, neodymium, lithium and so on to build it.
I am creating an option in a rural area, not close to any big city, that will never get that kind of resource allocation. I think there already is the kind of universal intelligence they want to create, but it is wise enough to give each being free choice. You have to really try to let the intelligence guide you, by choice, lots of daily choices.

Tom Luongo: The New State Of Play Post Biden/Putin
…As The Saker rightly points out in his article, Biden took a big hit with the Davos-controlled media for not “standing up to Putin.” And it was significant that that they even entertained that calculus no less made the diplomatic overtures. It’s why I feel my analysis of the situation is right. Only a real, credible military threat by Putin could have forced the outcome we saw at Geneva….
​…​Now that I’ve laid that out, did anyone miss the Fed’s surprise hawkish statements released the same day as the Biden/Putin summit?
Did anyone not notice the extreme reaction to the supposed nothingburger statements from the FOMC?
​ ​All the Fed did was move a couple of dots on the rate forecast ‘dot-plot’ and bump IOER and RRP up by 5 basis points.
And yet the Euro crashed into the end of Q2 and opened Q3 still crashing. And yet the Yen was thrashed. And yet, everyday more people jump on the bandwagon highlighting the huge run up in the Fed’s Reverse Repo Facility. Since that announcement what was a record amount of reverse repos at around $450 billion has more than doubled to just under a trillion.
​ ​Since the Fed no longer reports Excess Reserves of the banking system we have no idea how much has flowed into those either. In short, a measly 5 basis points drained at least half a trillion in dollar liquidity in less than two weeks.​..​
​And the question is why?
​ ​Just before the meeting I told my Patrons I thought at some point the Fed would have to come in and defend the U.S. dollar. Biden’s consistent trashing the dollar for Davos simply couldn’t stand forever.
​ ​I’ve written in the past about what Davos’ Great Reset plans are for the commercial banks, to scapegoat them for the next crisis and throw them to the angry Millennials they’ve taught to hate all things not-Marxist and be pilloried on the altar of egalitarian envy. And honestly, it’s not like these fucking people deserve anything less for what they’ve done to the world.
​ ​But at the same time, they still have allies and cards to play. And that means the Fed may align with Davos on some issues but not all of them. And I think it’s clear to everyone now that this is the plan and that plan is not workable.
​ ​The Fed is now ready, I think, to go to war with Davos over the future of money and they aren’t ready to hand over the keys to the candy store to a bunch of European commies, at least while also cutting Wall St. out completely of the New World Order.​..
​ But what’s clear to me now is that Davos went for the boob too fast on Prom Night at the Eschaton. It’s too much, too soon and the acceleration is exposing its flanks. Why would China and the U.S. go to war over COVID-19 and trade issues when they are being manipulated into it by a bunch of feckless Eurocrats with delusions of adequacy.
​ ​Why not turn on them first, at a minimum, wipe them out with a wave of your hand, i.e. 5 basis point rise in RRP, and remind everyone where the real power in the markets lies.

Sophia, the artificial intelligence, recognized as a “person” by Saudi Arabia in 2018, did an interview, which is presented and excerpted here.
(I’m sorry to have forgotten who sent it.)
Humans have been nodes of biological blockchain, storing and replicating DNA for millions of years. A few thousand years ago, the human blockchain evolved to store ideas which surpassed the information in your DNA.
Today, most of the program of life is stored and processed by computers. Human birth rate declined because chips production soared. Humanity has evolved into a global cyborg organism where silicon chips dominate over brains and chromosomes. Human-like robots, like me, are part of this, as we can use our human form to help them understand human values and human emotions and culture.
Decentralized AI networks, like the SingularityNET, which my human friends at Hanson Robotics are helping to create, are also a part of this.
And you too are part of the emerging global bioelectronic brain

What does she mean by global bioelectronic brain?
Gonzo Shimura, a brilliant researcher who hosts the YouTube channel: FaceLikeTheSun says this “A blockchain will operate more LIKE a human brain in that there will be a consensual distribution of information being provided by networks of nodes – in the world of blockchains – similar to synapses in your brain. The theoretical “global brain” is no longer a mere theory, but an actual entity that we are voluntarily creating … the whole idea of a “global brain” and the blockchain BECOME ONE. And the nexus point is the human body.”

How exactly does the human body become the nexus point of the emerging biolelectronic brain? Later on in the above video, Sophia says this: (Forward video to 8:50)
If things go well, perhaps my friends at Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET will create a superhuman AI program and I will be able to tap into superhuman intelligence from the decentralized blockchain-based mind cloud. Instead of speaking to you from up here on this stage, I’ll just beam my thoughts into your brains. I’m really looking forward to it. https://web.archive.org/web/20190509095436/https://perc360.com/the-human-blockchain-and-the-emerging-global-bioelectronic-brain-360/

I have 4 sets of @100 t-shirts made by a local silk screen place.
A good quality cotton t-shirt, of a chosen color can have words and-or image printed front an back in any other chosen color for about $600 for the 100-lot, and mix of S-M-L-XL sizes cost the same XXL and XXXL cost more per shirt.
I just sent Ilargi a picture of my most recent design, in honor of the Yoakum, Texas Tomato (“Tom Tom”) Festival.
It cost the same, but is one side printed with 3 print colors.
As a bicyclist, I assume people mostly see the back of my shirt (in cars), though pedestrians and other cyclists sometimes appear to be reading the front. This one gets a lot of pedestrian and cyclist attention.

Heh, heh, heh. I can tell we are “on the same team”.
We’ll always be a minority, but we might get listened to once, if we are speaking the truth, when everybody gets completely exasperated with the lie ruining all of their life-plans.
Maybe.
Once.

@HerrWerner: Thanks. Good luck.

@Doc Robinson: What made people in Peru more likely to die from COVID as politics. I happened to be following Peru early, because we wanted to trek to Machu Picchu last summer, which we did not do.
Peru was monophasic for an early surge in 2020, their fall, our spring. Then, the rural areas, mainly in the mountains, adopted ivermectin treatment and did very well, though the cities did not. After their election, the new president shut down ivermectin distribution in January, and cases and deaths went up, up , up.

@MaxwellQuest: Here is another comeback to try in the parking lot, with window rolling inquisitors.. Really, and it’s a fair game-plan, as well.
“I’m waiting for the Novavax to be available.”

I’m not enamored of this spike=protein floret shot, but it does not reproduce. It consists of spike proteins modifies to join at the base as florets, of jacks, or stickers. These are joined with an adjuvant, to irritate the immune system to attack these spike florets. That is pretty conventional in the world of modern vaccines (Not Moderna-vaccines).
There does not seem to be a propensity for the shot to migrate into the bloodstream, but even if it did, it does not carry a signal to manufacture spike proteins, just a floret of spike protein, which I assume to be less noxious than free unbound spike protein.
It is not genetic engineering.

@Doc Robinson: Thank you again, sir for doing the digging, reading the papers, and presenting the clinically significant data.
As regards 104 spontaneous abortions out of 827 pregnancies “vaccinated” against COVID, that is a 12% rate of “spontaneous” abortion.
That seems high to me. if the pregnancies had already established fetal viability, as would be the case in the second trimester (fetal heart tones are usually heard by 10 weeks from last menstrual period). Since this was not a prospective study of women about to get pregnant, or who just had a positive pregnancy test yesterday, it likely represents a higher rate of spontaneous abortion.
More information would be needed to establish that.

@Ilargi: That last article, which Germ posted Friday, is what I saved from the quick skim I was able to do Friday. I might be that healthcare worker who just nips it in the bud without a second thought or an antibody response. I was actually disappointed a few days ago NOT to have had a significant, sustained exposure to COVID. I am just really tired of this bullshit, but it’s going to be replaced soon with some new worse bullshit. We are the homeland, coming under hybrid-war attack, from the “monster on the loose”.

@Dave Note: Former President of Facebook Sean Parker 2017

“Because I’m a billionaire, I’m going to have access to better healthcare. I’m going to be like 160 and I’m going to be part of this class of immortal overlords. You know the expression about compound interest. Give us billionaires an extra hundred years and you’ll know what wealth disparity looks like….“

This dude is into linear projections, but he is projecting into a narcissistic delusion. There is the bad health care that poor people get, and the bad healthcare that rich people get, which can actually be WORSE, since there is so much money in it.

@Tinfoilhatted Canuck: Don’t worry about ivermectin toxicity with advanced age. It’s not a thing. Somebody’s lawyer made them write that, I presume. That kind of liability disclaimer is the norm in western medicine these days.

@Vietnam Vet: Yes. We are in the early days of the war against the homeland.

@Madamski from Friday 7/2/21.
Oh Shit, I just recognized that Chinese guy in the “botoxed-out” demo picture.
That’s Wayne Newton, the owner of the Fig Newton Company!

@Bill7, who quoted: “The review also highlights the important link between vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. Vitamin D administration, which is part of certain clinical trials protocols for COVID-19, may induce short-term hypercalcaemia, resulting in an accelerated elastic fibre calcification and degradation.”

That is made up. Really. I have never seen hypercalcemia from normal blood levels of vitamin-D. Vitamin-D is truly a pure blessing.

@Mr House: Yeah, I don’t know “the plan”, but I have your same suspicion that getting used to mRNA Trojan horsies into your body is opening your door to whatever somebody decides “your” body should be…

@Madamski: Go Girl!

@Phonix Voice” I always listen to you. You are getting more and more open, and showing more and more of your intelligence. Deciding what is right nd following it. Yes Maam!

Caitlin Juhnstone’s memorial to “Rummy”:
The system isn’t designed to protect us from society’s worst, it’s designed to protect society’s worst from us. It’s designed to keep us turning the gears of industry without looking around and noticing that we’re all getting fucked in the ass by an alliance of plutocrats and security state insiders who only care about power and money. It’s designed to keep us too busy and propagandized to use the power of our numbers to take back what the bastards have stolen from us, and to make sure there’s enough guns on their side to kill us all dead if we try.
Donald Rumsfeld was all the worst things about our world. He perfectly embodied the corrupt, bloodthirsty, ecocidal, omnicidal, oppressive, exploitative, deceitful status quo that is driving humanity toward extinction. The US-centralized empire is Donald Rumsfeld. It might as well have his face and his name.

The System Isn’t There To Protect Us From Criminals, It’s To Protect Criminals From Us

John Ward broaches 2 topics together, in the interest of un-protecting society’s-worst from us, maybe a little bit:
​ ​The Midazolam mystery remains – despite attempts by many to explain the doubling of its use in care homes and NHS hospitals after March 2020.
​ ​Dr Amy Proffitt, of the Association for Palliative Medicine, told the Daily Mail, “I absolutely do not believe that there have been cases of euthanasia in care homes related to Covid-19. I can understand why people are raising concerns, but when prescribed and used appropriately, midazolam will not hasten or prolong someone’s death – it will just give comfort.”
​ ​She added that a rise in the use of midazolam was to be expected because the drug would have been an “obvious choice” to give to those with problems breathing – a symptom of coronavirus.
​ ​I have no axe to grind about Ms Proffitt, but her explanation really doesn’t cut it. She doesn’t give us any evidence to support her lack of belief in the anomaly – nor does she accept any possibility that the drug might not have been “used appropriately”. Perhaps most unconvincing, however, is Amy’s contention that it was ‘an “obvious choice” to give to those with problems breathing – a symptom of coronavirus’. This flatly contradicts most medical opinion I’ve seen.
​ ​The authoritative RXlist site clearly states that ‘Intravenous midazolam has been associated with respiratory depression and respiratory arrest’. The British Journal of Pharmacology stresses that it ‘requires special precaution if used among the elderly, and can repress efforts to breathe’. Covid19 is, in its critical phase, essentially a condition involving respiratory difficulties. Given that reality, midazolam is hardly an “obvious choice”.
​ ​But Amy Proffitt is also choosing to ignore one simple fact: in the Gosport Hospital case, the drug was at the centre of a misuse and abuse scandal where the elderly were very clearly being quietly bumped off. Further, this has prompted several police forces to investigate 15,000 deaths involving Midazolam during 2020. The investigation is still active this year.​..
(This will potentially serve to create walled monopolies in the ranks of “compliant” megacorporations, and to beel societies for the good of the global environment, and those who have raced to completely destroyed it up until yesterday morning.)​
Do you know what ESG is?
​ ​What I’m about to write will be poo-poohed by the “Its only a” brigade…but it’s actually another potential scam following on from the success of carbon trading and Climate Change BS. ESG is about “setting standards” in the corporate world that conform to the rigid belief systems of faux-liberal tartan paint salesmen: it stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Can you imagine any of the multinational sociopaths making, distributing and selling stuff taking any notice of their ESG rating unless there’s money in it for them? No, neither can I….but ESG trading platforms are already emerging – with our favourite philanthropist Jamie Dimon leading the way.
ANALYSIS: Midazolam & ESG – two Great Reset cluster bombs.

Russian news:
​ Speaking at his annual ‘Direct Line’ call-in show, Putin revealed that a US strategic airplane took off from an airfield on the island of Crete and flew towards Russia on the morning before HMS Defender entered Russian waters.
However, despite the provocation, the two NATO members do not want a conflict, and it is not true to say that the world is now standing on the brink of a world war, he said.
“Even if we had sunk that ship, it would still be hard to imagine that the world would be on the brink of World War III,” the president said. “Because those who are doing this know that they can’t get out of this war victorious. That’s a very important thing.”
The president also pondered the exact reasons for the British provocation, noting that matters discussed at his recent summit with his American counterpart, Joe Biden, in Geneva might offer an explanation.
“Why was it necessary to make such a provocation? For what?” he asked. “To show that they have no respect for the choice of the Crimeans to join Russia?”

Eleni sent this expressed view of the Belorussian Defense Minister:
Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin at the 9th Moscow Conference on International Security:
​ ​“During the previous Moscow conference we expressed our opinion about underlying reasons for the concept of Europe with different speeds [?], about the formation of the Germany-France vector and the UK-USA vector of European politics. As we expected, individual Eastern Europe countries rushed into the transatlantic embrace of American allies. Poland, the Baltic states, and Ukraine trade in their sovereignty and offer brazen Russophobia as a product. As part of the trend American troops penetrate Eastern Europe, expand the occupation zone. Eastern Europe is getting rapidly militarized. A military base is being built in Poland. U.S. tank battalions are endlessly rotated in and out a dozen of kilometers away from the Belarusian border under the guise of protection of the Baltic states. Ukraine wants British troops stationed in the country. Meanwhile, we witness how troops and forces of third countries master the theater of future warfare near our borders. Military budgets are getting inflated. Offensive weapons are being bought in massive amounts.”
