The Fed’s Catch-22 Taper Is A Weapon, Not A Policy Error
​…​The bigger question is, why would the central bank trigger this crisis deliberately?
​ ​The Fed does not serve the purposes of the US, it serves the purposes of international banks and the agenda of globalism. It is openly admitted that national central banks take their marching orders from an entity called the Bank for International Settlements, and this includes the Fed. The BIS is a consortium of central banks from around the world that dictate overall central bank policy. If you have ever wondered how it’s possible for most national central banks to change policy in unison the way they tend to do instead of all of them reacting differently to economic problems, this is how.​..​
​ ​There is a very interesting article published by Harpers Magazine in 1983 called ‘Ruling The World Of Money’ which I recommend people read if they want more insight into how the BIS operates and controls the decisions of regular central banks.
​ ​Everything the Fed does is to further globalist goals, not American goals or the American economy. The Fed will do as it’s ordered to do. And how do globalists benefit from America’s decline? Let’s not forget about the “Great Reset” agenda which the World Economic Forum, the IMF and other institutions have been so vocal about since the beginning of the pandemic. What the globalists want is to force the public to accept a completely centralized one world system based on socialist ideals, and this will include a one world currency that supplants the dollar. They will use any means at their disposal to get it, whether it be a pandemic crisis or an economic crisis. In fact, they are perfectly willing to engineer both.
​ ​It should be noted that the IMF and World bank recently held a “simulation” (war game) of just such a crisis. The game involved a cyber attack on global financial institutions which would then lead to economic collapse.

​Charles Hugh Smith: ​Oops. Don’t you hate it when the system works so well and then it suddenly implodes due to its self-reinforcing, self-destructive structural incoherence? A system dependent on debt for “growth” is self-liquidating, meaning that the debt eats the system alive by siphoning off income while malinvestment, waste and speculative gambling destroys the “capital” funded by the debt…
It will be a great shock to the political class, but controlling the narrative to protect your interests won’t actually stop the systemic momentum careening over the cliff. Demanding that everyone disavow problems doesn’t actually solve the problems.

​ War is always the back-up plan for a failing power elite in a collapsing economic system…
The Russians really do not want war with the west, but the west keeps pushing. Russia’s wars always seem to get fought on Russian soil. Russians know that.​
Putin sincerely desires a sustained and assured peace, because the weapons of war are so devastating, and are set to escalate to total nuclear war in a heartbeat, once triggered.”Armed conflicts and bloodshed are absolutely not our choice. We do not want to see events go that way. We want to use political and diplomatic means to resolve problems but we want to at least have clearly formulated legal guarantees. This is what our proposals are all about. We set them down on paper and sent them to Brussels and Washington, and we hope to receive a clear and comprehensive response to these proposals.”

More in this very same vein, worrying about “our” life-support systems… https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/12/living-economy.html

“Economy” is our human life-support system.
It was called “political economy” in older days, meaning that there needed to be widespread human cooperation for it to exist.
Now it is assumed to exist, “economy”.
When “economy” is assumed, then it is not the responsibility of any person, group or corporation to maintain it, to nurture and support it, to ensure that it remains healthy.

My basic understanding is that offloading risk onto the whole economy is a winning-strategy for any “player”. Too big to fail entities embody this. Their failure would break the economic system, as we saw in 2008. These entities have not been regulated to reduce the risk they take on, but rather they gorge on risk and take the profits in the short term, knowing that they have no effective risk, other than the risk of total economic failure, but that is “somebody else’s problem”. Derivative contracts are cheaper than actual regulated insurance, so all of the parties become counterparties to each other’s “insurance”. All parties profit, but no party is really accepting the risks, to cover when there is a failure.

Individuals high in the financial system, or their “proxies” like central bank heads, make decisions to manage the systemic risk and to increase their control of assets. Increasing control of assets is preferred, and risk-mitigation is the minimum necessary to avoid a financial freeze-up, where transactions cease, because no banker can trust other bankers or financiers. Whether economies grow or contract, financiers tend to increase their “ownership” of profitable “assets”.
However when an economic paradigm freezes up for lack of trust in counterparties, then “ownership” of “property” cannot really be executed. Productive enterprises, like factories, can soon be nothing at all, if not actively in production, which requires distribution and sales and workers with payrolls and benefits.
Can anybody “own property” if there is no electrical grid?

Central bankers war-game collapses of the financial system fairly regularly. It is likely that there would be breaks in the planned cooperation in an actual event.
There would be opportunities for one entity to gain through betraying another entity. “It’s just business”, after all.
These exercises seek to guide the system into the solution of global central banking digital currency, which requires a functional internet and working smartphones.. The back-up, always maintained, is gold bullion in vaults. More countries have brought their gold home in recent years.

What can those of us who are not central bankers do to improve our chances of survival in case of a systemic financial collapse? I don’t mean to be pedantic.
I’m actually very concerned about the attitude that seems pervasive now, which is not to correct errors, but to create mechanisms which provide personal short term profit, while degrading the whole system, and to double down on them as many times as possible.
This seems to also be present in global political brinkmanship, risking nuclear war in a game of chicken. It seems to be present in the all-vaccines-only-and-forever “solution” to the waning COVID pandemic, creating a “pandemic of the vaccinated” and many more deaths from “vaccination” with experimental gene therapies, than from the coronavirus threat itself.
Indications are that this autoimmune disease morbidity and mortality multiplies with each additional dose, and may accumulate over time. We are just beginning to see the increase in cancers. The “solution” is apparently to double-down and force everybody everywhere to accept “vaccination”, so all humans are bought-in, and there is no comparison group of “unvaccinated controls”.

How much life support system can we all have when we are all sick or dying?
I am not exaggerating. I wish that I were..

[John Day]

@WES: Thanks for the further descriptions of “the simple life” in Africa, lst night, which you were able to observe while working there.

@Oxymoron, who just wrote: “Non-compliance is HARD emotionally in Melbourne – in wealthy suburbs like where my in-laws live. They do not like dirty blue jeans and they most certainly gave me eyes-only dirty looks and rubber necked my movements in the movie cinema with my boy to see the Matrix Resurrections (bit crap btw). I was the only non-compliant one and offered a fake vax passport, no mask, no QR sign in and gave a fake phone number for tracking purposes.”

[John Day]

Thanks for the Tony Joe White Boscohorowitz/Robin.
I am really pondering what I have to show as an escape-alternative to everything upon-which-I-depend…
Can I do a prep. to help everybody? That’s what seems to be necessary in the face of profiting-by-assuring-ultimate-systemic-collapse.
@VP Gary, what locations meet your criteria?
“I have a lot of prep to do before we can live off-the-grid, starting with locating to a less populated region with local food production, energy, water & less woke proglodytes”
Charles Hugh Smith points out that the locals know where the bunkers are, and consider them to be something like canned-goods. I think a smallish town with remaining infrastructure (railway, grocery, hardware, some industry) is more like a small mixed-farm which served humans well in the past. That set is part of how I found Yoakum, Texas.
You should establish locally as soon as possible, and prepare and tend a large vegetable garden. Fruit trees will take 5 years or more to produce. What about water and weather? You should consider living when the grid is down, I think.
It’s a lot. What happens to money and economy when the utilities don’t work?

Like an alcoholic I must admit that I am dependent upon the big-assed-economy all working every day. I am ashamed, but I can only admit it as painfully obvious, the more I prep for it’s inevitable failure.

Oxymoron said: “I’m pretty sure back up arrangements have not been made. I think we are entering an era, that although short will involve GREAT hardships and austerity.”

“Short”, compared to what, my friend? I’m thinking a dozen years is optimistic, and assumes avoidance of WW-3.
How do “we”, any functional group get through the annihilation of global economy?
How can “political economy” be created, with investment and risk taking by all participants, when the current winning strategy is to dump all risk onto the collective economic system, in order to grab some quick personal profit? Everybody is anonymous. The corporations did it… Everybody offloads risk and responsibility and liability for any and all actions. “I’m just holding some shares of stock”. What is “local food sufficiency”? I have not seen it since Jenny and I trekked in the Himalayas in 1988, and it was lentils and rice, and we foreigners all lost weight on it. A fried egg was special. I had a water filter, and was meticulous in using it properly, only drank “our” water. I also had Giardiasis from some undercooked food.
I don’t intend to whine, and I do not mean to pick on anybody, but assuming there will be a working economy for us seems unreasonably optimistic, and imagining that we could survive a year without one seems “daft”, for want of a better word.
Most people assume somebody else has the answer, and a few of us who try to work the problem realize that it can only be “worked” by large groups over a long time, and the current solution-set is approaching a dead end.
I think this “era of great hardships and austerity” might be “short” if one dies expeditiously. It might last as long as anyone lives. I am seriously afreaid that the people making the important economic decisions, upon which our survival depends, are possessed of the happy delision that they actually ARE immune from the consequences of their selfish actions, which assure the demise of the system, which is based upon trusting other parties to honor their commitments.

[John Day]

From the article Chooch just posted:
“Are we headed for the situation where the ~30% unvaxxed will be devoting their lives to operating whatever is left of the economic infrastructure and serving as caretakers for the vaxxed?”

How might that look in day to day life?

[John Day]

I just caught up on yesterday and today. thanks for the kind mention TAE Summary.

There was a question of who would be appointed POTUS when “Joe Biden” might be declared incompetent-and-to-blame, and Kamala Harris might be considered worse than that.

Nancy Pelosi is rumored to have “been the plan all along”.

I really can’t tell how much more things have to break to maintain “ownership” structures for “the owners” through global multinational corporate defenses-from-culpability. Somebody who “owns” something “decides” about it, but now bears no responsibility for what happens subsequent to such “decisions”, because the “decider” is hidden by the corporate obfuscation mechanism.

It seems to me, that there must be error-correction for a system to keep functioning, because errors accumulate and compound, but what we have now is an arrangement where errors appear to be doubled-down to avoid their recognition as errors, and the application of corrective measures.

Are “we” really doubling down on mandating mRNA vaccines in perpetuity, which accrue so many defects in the immune systems as to kill long before that?

This seems like an acceleration into destruction of the system, our life support system, our political economy. Is this what always happens? Is this what “must happen”?

Can we survive this phase? Do we have constructive alternatives that we can display as models?
That’s sort of a tall order. Does anybody have constructive alternative arrangements?
What has happened to subsistence agriculture in India and China?

I’m sorry. I’m just trying to see where the back-up arrangements are located.

[John Day]

This is the pandemic that doesn’t kill anybody, though some people die “with”the new pndemic…

In the old days, only things that killed a lot of people got to be pandemics.

Good Posts both Dr.D and VP Gary. Really .I agree.

Milo Minderbinder’s “Syndicate” may be everywhere…

All 3 family members are doing well and the 2 that went for monoclonal antibody infusions both got hospitalized out of that venue, but came home this afternoon.
Everybody is taking repurposed antiviral and supplement cocktails. The family member who tested positive for COVID last winter when she went into the hospital for surgery, and who never felt sick, because she got treated right away, has now had mlld symptoms for 3-4 days, and just this evening started the ivermectin & friends again. It looks like it may be gratuitous, but it’s good to be sure.

It looks like Texas is 90+% Omicron, according to this:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10332757/Omicron-causing-90-new-COVID-19-cases-New-York-Florida-Texas-Washington-more.html

[John Day]

Sort of a rush job here, but worth it: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/12/otc-covid-rxs-for-omicron.html

Three fairly close family members got diagnosed with COVID yesterday and the day before, one with fever, headache, exhaustion and hurting all over, the usual COVID symptoms. The other two have mild symptoms. One is vaccinated and one was treated for a positive test at hospital screening, without ever getting sick, so we were never completely sure if it was a real positive or a false positive.

Delta-COVID remains in circulation, and most of the hospitalized patients in the US probably have it. Most hospitals will not know what type a patient has. It’s not routinely reported that way. I never got such a notification as a clinic doctor.

When I look at Texas COVID statistics here: https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2020/texas-coronavirus-cases-map/? I see that the number of positive test results and percent positive are spiking up, while total tests done have been about steady since the end of October.
Deaths are steady and low, and hospitalizations are down.
That implies to me that Texans are not more worried, but that the new Omicron strain is spreading rapidly during the final Christmas rush.

We are reconsidering the big family Christmas Eve party. Is it OK to go if you just brought medicines to the infected?
There is a spread of attitudes among family members, as there probably is in your family. Some are aghast that anybody “exposed” should go out at all for 10 days after exposure. A test is not useful for 72 hours after known exposure, because it is likely to be falsely negative. After 72 hours from exposure, viral loads in the nose should be high enough to detect if infection has occurred.
That puts anybody who tended to the sick yesterday out of circulation for Christmas and Christmas Eve.

I don’t mean to whine. People have plans and feelings. We are more aware of what is going on, the range of views, and the intricacies of disease progression and spread. You are likely facing a similar spread scenario, even if people are not aware of that yet.

Delta is still out there infecting people. Some people will get sicker from any variant. People with minimal symptoms will attend parties, and are shopping and socializing every day. Omicron does make people variously ill. Being miserable, but not needing oxygen, is still being miserable.

In September, while Delta-COVID was rising rapidly, I posted OTC COVID Rxs, Azelastin To Zinc https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/09/otc-covid-rxs-azelastin-to-zinc.html That was not so long ago. The information is about the same.
We have learned that those who have had their gallbladders out might need to double the doses of vitamin-D listed, since fat and fat-soluble vitamins are more poorly absorbed. Take vitamin-D, especially big booster doses with some fatty food like avocado or cheese, please.
We’ve learned the benefit of a baby aspirin, 81 mg per day, as prophylaxis, is substantial, and that it should continue through the course of illness.

The brief shopping list should include: Vitamin-D 5000 unit pills , baby aspirin 81 mg, or regular 325 mg aspirin, if you only plan to treat yourself when ill, zinc 50 mg pills, quercetin (any form, with or without bromelain) to help the zinc get into the infected cells, and lecithin (granules or capsules) to help the quercetin be absorbed in the stomach. The lecithin is likely to help absorption of vitamin-D, also, but I don’t know that for certain.
You might also want to get an antihistamine, like cetirizine. You might want to get some Pepcid (famotidine). You might want to get some vitamin-C.
You might also want to get some ivermectin at your local feed store, if you don’t keep it around for man and beast, already.
Here we go with the revised Omicron Christmas last minute rush update:

All of this advice except for ivermectin applies to pregnant women. That is a group with a lot of questions.
Ivermectin remains controversial. It is widely used in pregnancy in Africa for parasitic diseases, and disparaged in the west.
I remain deeply disturbed at how expectant-mothers are being treated with experimental gene therapies by the medical machine these days

Please do not force anyone in your workplace or those who around you to be vaccinated, and do not discriminate against those who have not been vaccinated.”

Kremlin discusses potential Putin-Musk meeting
​ Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African-born billionaire Elon Musk could have a long-awaited meeting if the world’s richest man steps up and develops business interests in the country, the Kremlin has indicated.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that the president has always been interested in meeting with foreigners who are keen to invest in Russia, adding that this could include Musk.
“Without a doubt, the president is open to discussions with foreign businessmen,” Peskov explained. “There are regular discussions, practically every year, with French entrepreneurs, Germans, those with a large presence in our market. You and I know that Elon Musk isn’t in our market, but we hope that with time, he will become interested in it. And then, a meeting with the president isn’t out of the question.”

Disney World sewage is full of Omicron, but hospitals mostly have Delta.
It’s not “spreading rapidly”. It has been here awhile, from the looks of it.
Unnoticed. Benign.​ Thanks Doc Robinson.
​ ​ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Even though there have been practically no cases of clinical infection, wastewater samples show that the new omicron variant is now the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the Florida county that is home to the nation’s largest theme park resorts, officials said this week.
​ ​The omicron variant has quickly surpassed the delta variant in collections taken from wastewater sampling sites in Orange County, officials said.
A sampling this week showed that omicron represented almost 100% of the strains in the samples from the wastewater facilities, Orange County Utilities spokesperson Sarah Lux said in an email.
​ ​It’s a different story when it comes to people seeking treatment for COVID-19, officials said.
“Those who are hospitalized are being primarily infected by the delta variant,” Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said Wednesday at a news conference held at the Orlando International Airport.

I have touched on the mutation analysis of Omicron before. It needs to have been mutating away from other SARS-CoV-2 strains since early 2018, or longer, based on the number and kinds of mutations. These are almost all “sense” mutations, without random “nonsense” mutations, or “substitution” mutations. There is not the expected mutation-noise of random mutation. It is more than a stretch to believe that Omicron “occurred naturally”, but it also fails to look like an an attack upon humanity, like the previous waves have been.
Omicron really looks like a dominant “common cold” strain, literally the best vaccine of all, which can end the COVID pandemic bu replacing it with a huge, free, open-source nothingburger. It is already happening.
​ ​Omicron is not normal. No immediate progenitors are known; its closest relatives are viruses last seen in early- to mid-2020. The orthodox explanation for this awkward fact, is that it has spent the last 18 months lurking “in a geography with poor genomic surveillance … or … in a chronically infected individual.” The simpler explanation is that it leaked from a laboratory.
​ ​As el gato malo and others have indicated, evidence is strong that Omicron circulates preferentially in the vaccinated. In all likelihood, it is the result of gain-of-function research, in which SARS-2 was passaged repeatedly through convalescent or vaccinated plasma, in the hopes of helping the virus evade acquired immunity. The purpose of this research would be to anticipate future immune-escape variants that vaccines might target.
​ ​Omicron carries a series of highly unlikely and suspicious mutations in its spike protein. It is hard to imagine that these mutations can have arisen via natural processes, because all but one of them are nonsynonymous – that is, they code for different amino acid sequences. Starkly mutated variants favoured by natural selection should have a great many meaningless synonymous mutations as well.

Silly question – the war won’t start because it has already started, and has been in active use-of-force mode since February 2014 when the US overthrew the Kiev government of President Victor Yanukovich; attempted to take Russian bases in Crimea; and followed in July of that year with the plot to down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 and trigger a NATO invasion of the Donbass.

We all need to say “no” resoundingly, which will be a mess, as our life support is withdrawn.

The Death of Europe
​ ​Europe is on a precipice. It has marched, blindly, towards something very much resembling tyranny. Austria will shortly criminalize those who refuse the Covid vaccine. Germany looks set to follow.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is wondering out loud if every member state should do likewise and make offenders of those who reject this form of medication.
In Italy you are deprived of your livelihood rather than your liberty if you say no to vaccination: the unvaxxed are not permitted to work. Anywhere. In Greece, everyone over the age of 60 must pay the government 100 euros for every month they remain unvaxxed. As if the Greek government, in cahoots with its masters in Brussels, had not immiserated Greek pensioners enough already.
​ ​Police in Rotterdam opened fire on people protesting against Covid restrictions. Three were seriously injured. Austrian cops have wielded batons and shields against the thousands who took to the streets of Vienna to say no to mandatory vaxxing. In Brussels, the black, bureaucratic heart of the EU project, water cannons and tear gas were unleashed upon citizens agitating against vaccine passes. The irony is almost too much: in the European quarter of Brussels, the very part of Europe in which the modern European sensibility was forged by politicians, experts and technocrats, ordinary people make a blow for freedom and the forces of this supposedly liberal new continent beat them down. Rarely has modern Europe’s bluster about ‘human rights’ and ‘respect’ been so savagely exposed.
​ ​What is happening in Europe right now is nothing short of terrifying. We are not merely witnessing another round of Covid restrictions. This isn’t just the introduction of another set of emergency measures that some people believe are necessary to stave off the latest Covid wave and the Omicron threat lurking on the horizon. No, we are living through a chilling overhaul of the entire relationship between the state and the individual, with the state empowered to such an extraordinary degree that it can now instruct its citizens on what to inject into their bodies, and the individual so politically emaciated, so denuded of rights, that he no longer even enjoys sovereignty over himself, over that tiny part of the world that is his own body and mind. We are witnessing the violent death of European liberalism and the birth pangs of a new and deeply authoritarian era.

One last picture of us on the new porch, a romantic one

If things don’t make sense, then the narrative is running counter to reality. That’s what we see now. The narrative of (gene-therapy) “vaccines” only seemed potentially OK in March, but we did not know about the deaths, adverse events, and reversal of benefit (becoming detriment) after 6 months.

The narrative of fearing the virus enough to surrender one’s own rights, and trample the rights of “the unvaccinated” was not present in March. It arose in the summer, a thing we had never anticipated. The lie about “approved vaccines” being mandated seemed odd, but we began to see a broad context within which this all made sense.

Getting the peoples of the world accustomed to a new compliance regime, compliance to the powers-that-be, increases the security of those in power, as the post-war financial regime of Bretton Woods shudders down to the cliff without brakes.

The acceptance of the fearful compliance narrative is spotty, and it is being pushed very hard to make up for lost time, especially in Europe, as the pandemic closes out it’s second year, which looks like its final season to me.
Most of Europe, certainly Germany, Austria, Italy and Greece is mandating “vaccination”-or-else. Loss of job, big fines, imprisonment.
This is clearly a wartime measure, but with a false context. The context within which it fits is class-war against the citizens of Europe, by their owners.
Australia, New Zealand and Canada seem pretty close to that, the UK a little more distant, and parts of the US are clearly returning to normalcy, while New York tries to be Canada with mandates, firings and penalties for non-“vaccination”.

The WEF (“Build Back Better”, Davos crowd) have long advocated for central banks to take over and issue a digital worldwide smartphone currency, which would be tied to identification and a social-credit-score, where one would need to keep a good rating to buy, sell, travel and have access. Accounts would be credited and debited, held or eliminated by central authorities. All individual initiative would comply with central authority, or be excluded from the economy through shunning.

All of us are accustomed to financial freedoms, freedoms of speech, of association and travel. These are being eliminated by the social experiments currently underway. Most of Texas is over COVID. I hear that Florida is over COVID. It’s not just statistics but the common-knowledge of an area. Rural Texas is clearly over COVID, though some older folks wear masks at the grocery store, while Austin might be more evenly divided. It’s hard to tell, because people are not being strident about masking in public, now that it is 50:50 and officially optional.
In Austin Texas, the narrative seems to be in decline, after a resurrection in late summer for the Delta-variant third wave. People had gotten out of the habit of fearful compliance already, and only partly returned to it.
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbot has been torn between business interests and federal policies, and has navigated the minefield pretty well, taking the right step early a few times, and proving his detractors wrong. It has still been a hard 2 years of thankless work for him. Businessmen are still mad about his mask mandate in 2020, and shutting down the bars and strip clubs that summer.
It does not seem like Texas will want to comply with a global central bank digital currency, and has already outlawed vaccine-passports and vaccine-mandates, at least enough to block them this year.

Can the whole western world swing one way or another? Will there be an attempt in Europe to go full-totalitarian, as is planned and announced, or will that be abandoned? The Euro is in crisis, but is there any way at all to keep it on life support? Crashing Italy seems to be one scenario to keep inflation at bay for a little while, but how much crashing of European economy can be imposed for how long? It seems like this winter of discontent will be testing that limit.

Some change in currency, with some debt-jubilee, seem inevitable, and in the near term. The real economy cannot support the debt burden at negative real interest rates. There is such absence of trust that gold seems a safer standard than Bitcoin-like schemes.

Devaluation of currencies against gold seems overdue to me. Central bankers don’t prefer it, but they certainly know how to manage such a transition, and are well prepared. Russia, China and the non-aligned nations of the world are also prepared for a gold-standard.
Central bankers stay prepared for that, whatever they say.

The Davos crowd has been playing a hard game to get global central bank smart money poised as the “solution” to the looming crisis. I wish them failure in this new year, for their own human benefit, as well as yours and mine. This clear and decisive plan needs to be scrapped in favor of a big mess for the next 20 years as we figure out how to live and work together in a world of declining cheap energy and disposable manufactured goods from far away.

The time for local food production and sufficiency is almost upon us. Plant vegetables this spring.

I think it gets better if you keep working through all of your fecal material that rises to the top when you start looking inside with divine guidance (love/truth.

if one really follows divine guidance, shit happens, and it can be one crazy roller-coaster. With an extremist like me (reality being extremely real, you see, and me being extremely addicted to reality, it being where I keep my stuff including breath of life), you can count on seriously manic lunacy. That’s how miracles are made, best I can tell. You lose most or all of your friends, very often your wife*, you question your sanity 60/60/24/7/365, so does everyone else, and you do what inner guidance tells you, period.
*I won’t. We’re tried and tested and then some.

What stories about Jesus to believe? What stories about ANYONE, living or dead, ancient or recent, to believe? Stories are illusions, even the details of a person’s diary. The only truth is action/consequences. Remove the illusion that one knows what one is doing, let the dao speak and act freely through you, and lord have mercy, you’d better talk real fast or run even faster.”

Quoth Huskynut Andrew:
“This tyranny, this idiocy, this moral wasteland, will continue for precisely as long as it’s politically tenable – so long as politicians face no discernible backlash of opinion. That means every equivocating fence-sitter isn’t – as they might imagine – a passive observer. Rather, they’re an active enabler in the same way that passive German citizens in the 1930s enabled the full fruition and flowering of the Nazi regime.”

People seem primed for the paradigm-shift to “COVID is over”.
I remember the Vietnam War paradigm shift after the Tet Offensive.

The deaths are already here (everywhere), as are the adverse, disabling events.
Omicron is the free airborne vaccine, which you’ll catch if you need it.

This pandemic has been used to make vast populations of humans compliant with authority, to change their programming permanently. How permanent is that? Is there snap-back?
Why is Canada like Australia, but Texas and Florida are somewhat different?

The “Great Reset” is next on the agenda, with WW-3 as backup, to assure fearful compliance.

Hoard cash, y’all. I would, but I can’t , because I’m spending it on the homestead, instead, and I’m outta’ work for non-compliance with vaccination, and telling people at low risk, who already had COVID, to avoid vaccine risk, while the whole clinic pushed it on them.

At least hoard some beans , rice, salt and cooking oil…

[John Day]

This morning, I bring you “Ancient Vitamin-D Protection”, one thing, and another construction photo.
Maybe David Grimes MD could be offered a guest post about vitamin-D?
https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/12/ancient-vitamin-d-protection.html

Descendants of Plankton,

David Grimes MD is a vitamin-D expert in England. I have recently been introduced to his work.
Here, I have excerpted from his blog post of 11/10/21.
The history of vitamin-D allowing evolution of immune responses was “illuminating”.
The hypothesis of immune system dysfunction after vaccination being caused by vitamin-D depletion is testable.

The evolution of the immune response
​It is necessary to understand the immune response that has developed during 500 million years of evolution.

​ ​Evolution is full of mysteries, but a critical stage of evolution was the appearance of an intracellular protein that became the key to immunity. This protein is what we now call VDR, which stands for Vitamin D Receptor. It was the evolution of VDR 500 million years ago that was probably the initiator of the Cambrian explosion of advanced life-forms. The development of immunity meant that very primitive animal life, for example plankton, could evolve into more complex forms without being at the total mercy of pre-existing bacteria and viruses.
​ ​And so it is today. Without immunity we would not survive infancy and we would become extinct. Immunity is vital and we have seen the effects of seriously damaged immunity in the recent AIDS pandemic. We must not forget this. We must respect immunity and the need for its optimisation. We must understand it.

The evolution of VDR was critical, but VDR would have had no function had it not been for Vitamin D which had evolved a billion years earlier.
​ ​Plankton at the surface of the oceans were at risk of physical damage by UV from the Sun. They ultimately developed genetically programmed diurnal vertical migration, meaning that they spend the night at the surface and descend deeper in the water during the day.
​ ​But they developed another method of protection from UV, a chemical sunscreen. Starting from the long-chain squalene, otherwise known as shark oil, they became capable of synthesising steroid compounds, a process that is blocked by statin drugs (taken only by humankind in recent years). The important sunscreen steroid became the oil 7-dehydrocholesterol, 7-DHC. This will sound familiar to readers of the Blog. UV converts 7-DHC in the skin into cholecalciferol which we know as vitamin D. Within plankton this physico-chemical process absorbs UV energy and thus protects the plankton from damage.

​ ​For a billion years vitamin D had no function and it was merely a waste product of the sunscreen 7-DHC. But by another accident of evolution it became critical because it was able to activate VDR into the major player in the immune process. The Cambrian explosion was initiated.

Understanding our immunity

​ ​We know about T-cells that produce tissue immunity and B-cells that produce humoral antibody immunity, but the important process is the rapid escalation of immunity that is essential in response to infection if an optimal effect and recovery is to be achieved. This will also apply to the pseudo-infection of vaccination. The driving force is to switch on the genes that bring about multiplication of the immune cells and their effects, a genetically controlled amplification that can be 75-fold.
​ ​The genes are activated by an intracellular dimer composed of VDR and RXR, Retinoid X Receptor. However the VDR component must first be activated by 1,25(OH)D, otherwise known as calcitriol, the fully active form of vitamin D that is produced within immune cells.
​ ​Activation of the genes will switch on or increase the production of defensive proteins including antibodies that act within tissue fluids to control and eliminate infection, the purpose of immunity.
​ ​The immune cells are able to increase greatly the synthesis of VDR, but before the gene-activating VDR-RXR dimer can be formed, VDR must be activated, ‘unlocked’, by 1,25(OH)D which cannot be synthesised de novo. It can only be formed by hydroxylation (addition of an -OH group) of 25(OH)D, the number indicting the point on the molecule to which the -OH group becomes attached. 25(OH)D is the form of Vitamin D that has already been hydroxylated in the liver and which circulates in the blood.

Consumption of Vitamin D and exhaustion of reserves
​ ​Too much 1,25(OH)D produced in response to the escalation of immunity could cause subsequent problems of ‘hypervitaminosis D’, with an excess of calcium in the blood and in the urine. But evolution has solved this problem: the 1,25(OH)D molecule can be used only once, after which it is inactivated by conversion into 24,25(OH)D. The process of escalation of immunity requires a large number of single-use 1,25(OH)D molecules to activate a multitude of VDR molecules. Therefore a constant supply of 1,25(OH)D is essential and so there must be in the blood a good reserve of its immediate precursor 25(OH)D, the circulating form of vitamin D that is also known as calcidiol or calcifediol.

​ ​A serious infection such as Covid-19 will consume significant amounts of 1,25(OH)D, and so we can expect to see a reduction of the blood level of 25(OH)D as a result of such an infection. As far as I am aware, such research has not been performed during the pandemic, or at least not published, despite how simple it would be.

​ ​The magnitude of the inevitable fall in blood level of Vitamin D, 25(OH)D, following vaccination has not been reported. Perhaps it has not been investigated, but if it has been investigated by the pharmaceutical companies, the results will only be published if there is commercial benefit. Obviously, as with Covid-19, a good level of Vitamin D, 25(OH)D, in the blood (greater than 40ng/ml, 100nmol/L) would have sustained the escalation of immunity. But if before the infection or vaccination the blood level had been critically low (less than 20ng/ml, 50nmol/L), then a reduction would have reduced the level to a point that the escalation of the immune process would be halted, with a high risk of significant illness, perhaps critical or fatal.​..

​The proposal
​ ​My proposal is that the decline of immunity following vaccinations is not because of a ‘poisoning’ of immunity, but because the reservoir of Vitamin D as 25(OH)D within the blood becomes exhausted by the immune responses to successive vaccinations.
​ ​The investigation of this would be very simple. Blood would be taken for Vitamin D measurement immediately before vaccination and one month later. The two samples would be analysed together, following the second blood test. Previous Covid-19 would need to be recorded, and of course the dose of any vitamin D supplement taken.
​ ​This simple study could be undertaken in any public health vaccination centre. Ethical approval would be needed but I can envisage no conflict with ethics and what is in the best interests of individuals and the population. My view is that it has been unethical to withhold Vitamin D during this pandemic, contrasting with the official narrative that Vitamin D is of no value in the management of Covid-19…

​ ​The problems go beyond Covid-19 in that we are now hearing reports of increasing pressures from hospital admissions in greater numbers than are seasonal, and that most are not Covid-19. If admissions due to other conditions are increasing, it is likely that we are faced with impaired immunity due to exhaustion of body stores of Vitamin D in turn resulting from the vaccination programme. This could be corrected very easily and very rapidly.
​We are also hearing official reports of excess deaths from cardiovascular disease in recent weeks. Why should this suddenly occur? Could this serious phenomenon be result of the vaccination programme? Is it the direct result of exhaustion of Vitamin D reserves due to the effects of the vaccination process? Could it be stopped by finding and correcting VItamin D deficiency? The challenge is urgent and the problem must not be witheld from the population.

​ ​Vitamin D in its metabolic forms has been very successfully ignored by official bodies during the pandemic of Covid-19. Evidence of benefit has been side-lined for the flimsiest of reasons and without any debate. The reason for this has been to protect the vaccine roll-out. The vaccines in use have still not been licensed and are still being used under Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA). This is dependent on there being no alternative prevention or treatment, resulting in the burial not just of Vitamin D but also ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

​Gandhi understood that overthrowing empires requires an entire metaphysics
​ ​Gandhi developed a philosophy called satyagraha — satya is “truth which equals love”, āgraha means “holding firm”,
so satyagraha is “holding firm to the truth that is love”.
Satyagraha has a number of core principles including:
1. Nonviolence (ahimsa)
2. Truth — this includes honesty, but goes beyond it to mean living fully in accord with and in devotion to that which is true
3. Not stealing
4. Non-attachment

​In a recent UN vote to denounce Nazism, 2 countries voted against, the Ukraine and the USA.​
NATO countries have been gearing up for a European war in Ukraine, against Russia, which would benefit none of the involved parties.
Historically, such real-wars serve to enforce social cohesion, which can be expected to evaporate in the upcoming financial/economic crisis, especially in EU countries, but also in the US.
This is brinksmanship, and Russian national security is directly at stake.
Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov spoke recently, for the first time of Chinese “allies”. There is not yet a known mutual defense pact between Russia and China. Such a compact would probably include Russian interests regarding Ukrainian demilitarization, and also the Taiwan Straits, though Russia would hardly sign on to a voluntary Chinese invasion of Taiwan (IMHO).
Russia has presented a list of security demands, not negotiating points.
Russia has natural gas, and is honoring all contracts, but is not selling into the EU spot market this winter, which is getting cold.
Approving and opening Nordstream-2 is the answer to that, but what other inducements to reason does Russia have for NATO, especially for the Americans?
This needs to be taken a lot more seriously than western politicians are taking it.
Macron of France seems to have an inkling, but not Boris Johnson, who is afraid of looking soft as his popularity drops, and certainly not “Joe Biden”.
Moon of Alabama has a detailed assessment. Pulling the trigger on this war when the economy crashes would be a really bad idea.

Previously healthy U.S. airline pilots are passing away at an unprecedented rate. Pilots are required to be in tip-top physical condition, but in 2021, the entire airline industry conspired against the pilot’s individual health and threatened them with termination if they did not partake in the covid-19 vaccine experiment. As a result, over one hundred young pilots have mysteriously passed away in 2021, as countless other pilots suffer silently from adverse events and depleted immune systems.
A total of one hundred eleven pilots died in the first eight months of this year! This is a 1,750% increase from 2020, when the world was supposed to be in the middle of a pandemic…
Only 5 deaths were recorded from January-March in 2021, when vaccine uptake was low. Peculiarly, a total of (39) deaths occurred in July and (34) occurred in August — right after governments and private companies used vaccine mandates to violate the privacy of their employees and punish them…

South African Hospitalization Rates Plunge Despite Omicron Onslaught (because of?)​
(This story was sourced from Bloomberg. It leaves out how many ​have died FROM Omicron, mentioning only “excess deaths” and a lot of asymptomatic cases in hospital for other things​, diagnosed by routine screening tests,​ and not needing oxygen. It looks cheerier than it is p​ainted​.​ One mysterious “death with Omicron” reported by Boris Johnson at a UK press conference Monday appears to be the grand total. I’d call it “unconfirmed at present”.​)
​ ​Only 1.7% of identified COVID cases were admitted to the hospital in the second week of infections in the fourth wave, according to local data.
That’s compared with 19% in the same week of the third delta-driven wave, South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said at a press conference…
​ ​Still, new cases in that week of the current wave were more than 20K a day, compared with 4.4K in the same week of the third wave. That’s further evidence of omicron’s rapid transmissibility, which a number of other countries, such as the UK are also now experiencing…
​ ​There are a few key differentiators that make South Africa different from other countries: The country’s population is young compared with developed nations. What’s more, between 70% and 80% of citizens may also have had a prior COVID infection, according to antibody surveys, meaning they could have some level of protection.
​ ​Currently there are about 7.6K people infected with COVID in South African hospitals, about 40% of the peak in the second and third waves. Excess deaths, a measure of the number of deaths against a historical average, are just below 2K a week, an eighth of their previous peak.
​ ​“We are really seeing very small increases in the number of deaths,” said Michelle Groome, head of health surveillance for the country’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases.
​ ​The number of COVID hospitalizations in this wave is also being inflated by the fact that milder patients are being admitted because there is room to accommodate them. Many are there for other complaints but are routinely tested for the pathogen, according to health officials.
​ ​“We have seen a decrease in a proportion of people who need to be on oxygen. They are at very low levels,” said Waasila Jassat, a researcher with the NICD.
​ ​The final takeaway: “For the first time there are more non-severe than severe patients in hospital.”

Will America’s New Nuke Deter War, Or Bring It On?
In a bit of irony, a Twitter comment by Jill Hruby Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) pointed to a new nuclear bomb as proof America is committed to nuclear deterrence. This is where it is important to remember that deterrence means, the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences…
An article in The National Interest on October 9th, 2018 by Zachary Keck indicates this bomb may be the most dangerous nuclear weapon in America’s arsenal. The combination of accuracy and low-yield make the B61-12 the most usable nuclear bomb in America’s arsenal. It also makes using nuclear weapons thinkable for the first time since the 1940s.

This analysis of the cause of Gulf War Syndrome being specific lots of (unannounced experiment) anthrax vaccine, using squalene adjuvant (for rapid vaccine response, but bad side effects later) has been buried by the DoD. I became aware of it from a 1999 investigative report in Vanity Fair.
It is almost impossible to find by a Google search. I went to Vanity Fair Archives 1999 to get to this May article.
The Pentagon’s Toxic Secret, by Gary Matsumoto

This later scientific research confirmed Matsumoto’s hypothesis, but all you will find now is that “the hypothesis was debunked”. (Unlimited budget…)
Antibodies to squalene in recipients of anthrax vaccine​
Journal of Experimental Molecular Pathology, August 2002​
Abstract: … We previously reported that antibodies to squalene, an experimental vaccine adjuvant, are present in persons with symptoms consistent with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) (P. B. Asa et al., Exp. Mol. Pathol 68, 196-197, 2000). The United States Department of Defense initiated the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP) in 1997 to immunize 2.4 million military personnel. Because adverse reactions in vaccinated personnel were similar to symptoms of GWS, we tested AVIP participants for anti-squalene antibodies (ASA). In a pilot study, 6 of 6 vaccine recipients with GWS-like symptoms were positive for ASA. In a larger blinded study, only 32% (8/25) of AVIP personnel compared to 15.7% (3/19) of controls were positive (P > 0.05). Further analysis revealed that ASA were associated with specific lots of vaccine. The incidence of ASA in personnel in the blinded study receiving these lots was 47% (8/17) compared to an incidence of 0% (0/8; P < 0.025) of the AVIP participants receiving other lots of vaccine. Analysis of additional personnel revealed that in all but one case (19/20; 95%), ASA were restricted to personnel immunized with lots of vaccine known to contain squalene…

​It is going to help fully documented people to exist, have money, go places and buy things in the world… (Huh? or else what?)​
Digital Surveillance — the Real Motive Behind Push to Vaccinate Kids
“The real purpose behind the historic, unprecedented push to vaccinate the very young, even against diseases like COVID that do not pose a threat to them, is to fold the current generation of children into the blossoming global digital identity system.”
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/digital-surveillance-motive-behind-vaccinate-kids/

​More from the anti-vaxxer, vaccinated, vaccine-inventor, Dr. Malone:
Another reason not to jab the children: Omicron
The data are overwhelmingly clear: it is time to stop vaccinating healthy young people
…”Make no mistake, this is 21st century media warfare, and we are fighting against horizontally integrated corporate-sponsored Global Tyranny. This is likely to be the first skirmish in what will be a long war, and we are outgunned and out capitalized by far.”​ …
​ “The Science” is clearly on our side. Jabbing the kids with these genetic Spike vaccines is madness.
The data are clear. Officials have reported​ ​110 Omicron cases as of Saturday in the USA. Of the 66 people for whom vaccination status has been reported, 52 were fully vaccinated and many of those had been boosted. What we don’t know is whether or not those people who have already had COVID-19 actually caught Omicron, but it was so mild that they weren’t aware of it or if prior infection conferred complete immunity. What we do know is that 78% of the people in the USA/CDC report who have contracted Omicron were vaccinated. These data also direc.tly contradict the public relations “data” press release from Pfizer that the third jab would protect against Omicron Clinical data ALWAYS trumps lab test data.​..​
(The UK death “with Omicron” was “reported” by BoJo after this was published. Still no details.) There have been NO DEATHS reported anywhere in the world with Omicron, including in the USA. Now there will be, because older people, people with high co-morbidities will catch Omicron and will die. People die from the common cold too…
…all evidence shows that Omicron is much more mild and vaccinated or unvaccinated will catch this variant.
​ ​Now, let’s talk children. For all the reasons listed above, it is clear that vaccinating children now is a very bad idea. 146 million people in the USA have had SARS-CoV-2 , that is about 45% of the total population. This means 45% of children have had SARS-CoV-2, that is the virus – because children rarely get severe disease from the virus. It is the severe disease that is COVID-19. COVID-19 is the severe disease caused by the virus. Historically, children get infected by the virus.
​ ​Now that Omicron will become dominant very quickly and we know that there is a very good chance that natural infection confers better protection against Omicron and that for everyone this new variant is mild, why would we want to mandate vaccination for our healthy children?
​ Remember, this is what we know already before Omicron emerged:
1 in 2700 male adolescents will get pericarditis/myocarditis from the Pfizer vaccine and the event rate appears to be even higher for Moderna.
1 in 2200 will get some sort of neurological event from the vaccine (based on the curious case of Pfizer clinical trial participant Maddie de Gary).
That the adverse events in children are much higher than originally reported in the phase 3 clinical trials.
That the long term sides effects for this vaccine are unknown.
That after vaccination, there is a 3-4 week period of immunosuppression, where children (and adults) are susceptible to latent viral infections and other viruses.

Latest VAERS estimate: 388,000 Americans killed by the COVID vaccines , Steve Kirsch
An independent derivation of the VAERS URF using the CMS death data leads to a URF of 44.64 which then leads to a 388K excess death estimate.
​ “​My estimate of the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) at 41 was based on anaphylaxis rates reported in the Blumenthal paper published in JAMA.
I have argued that the anaphylaxis rate is an appropriate number to use to (under) estimate deaths because I believed that deaths would be less reported than anaphylaxis to VAERS for two reasons: 1) usually lacks the time proximity to vaccination, 2) the person seeing the death may not know the vaccination status of the victim and may not technically be required to report the death.​”​

​A second pathology conference report of autopsies on 15 people who died between 7 days and 6 months of COVID vaccination revealed that 12 of 15 deaths were due to vaccination. Lymphocytic myocarditis and blood clots (thromboemboli)​ were common causes of death in this group. (Auto-translated, so awkward to read.)

(What if it is really only 92%?)
New Study finds the Covid-19 Vaccine is to blame for 98% of cases of Myocarditis among Children
​ ​The new study was conducted by dozens of doctors and scientists from several Universities, Children’s Hospitals, and Schools of Medicine across the USA and was published in the American Heart Association’s (AHA) journal ‘Circulation’ on December 6th 2021.
​ ​The researchers investigated 139 children and young adults with 140 episodes of suspected myocarditis, of which 49 were confirmed and 91 were probable. Most of the patients were male (126) and the median age was 15.8 years.
​ ​Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, whereas pericarditis is inflammation of the protective sacs surrounding the heart. Both are extremely serious conditions due to the vital role the heart plays in keeping a person alive, and the fact that the heart muscle cannot regenerate. Serious myocarditis can lead to cardiac arrest and knock years off a persons life.
​ ​Results shows that suspected myocarditis occurred in 136 of the patients equating to 98% of all cases of myocarditis. The Pfizer injection was responsible for 131 (94%) of these cases, with 128 (92% occurring after the second dose.
​ ​The researchers state in their findings that the most common symptom was chest pain, occurring in 99% of the patients, and that 26 patients (19%) were admitted to intensive care because of the condition.

when the lie becomes an end unto itself​ , el gato malo​
contempt for truth is the hallmark of contempt for the people
“​Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies,​ their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such,
for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate ir.” Hannah Arendt 1951, The Origins of Totalitarianism
​ ​one of the ugliest parts of the propaganda complex is when they stop caring about facts or even plausibility altogether.
that’s where the real contempt for the subjugated emerges.

​”He’s speaking as a private person” (Russian-controlled news outlet.)
The Covid-19 pandemic has sparked “chaos” and “turmoil” stemming not only from the “lacking knowledge” about the transmissibility and danger of the virus itself, but from the will of the super-rich to “snatch an opportunity to bring people in line,” Gerhard Ludwig Mueller said in an interview with Austria’s St. Boniface Institute last week. He is a high-ranking judge at the Vatican court…
The world’s financial elites are now using the pandemic and the measures governments take to fight the spread of the virus to subject people to “total control” and establish a global “surveillance state,” he added.
​ ​“People, who sit on the throne of their wealth,” see an “opportunity to push through their agenda,” the cardinal said, naming Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, billionaire George Soros and the head of the Davos Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, among those behind the alleged global control scheme.
The cardinal then accused the global financial elites of an attempt to bring forth “a new man” created “in their own image and likeness,” adding that he would not wish such a fate on himself. “That has nothing to do with democracy,” the former Regensburg bishop, who once headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said.
The cardinal’s statements, which only recently surfaced in the media, sparked a wave of criticism from German media outlets, which quickly branded his words “conspiracy theories.”
Some experts invited by Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine and other media said his words can be interpreted as a comparison between the actions of the modern government and those of the Nazis, whose crimes are thus “played down.” They also said that a mere mention of Soros in such a context can be seen as anti-Semitic…
…Mueller himself told the dpa in an email that he rejects the logic under which anyone who “criticizes the financial elite … is automatically on the wrong side.” He also once again pointed to the “illegitimate influence” exerted by the “super-rich elites in various countries.”
