I think James Howard Kunstler nailed the Higher Ed racket with this assessment a while back:
Higher Education is a predatory loan scam dressed up to look like a social justice Disneyland.
@Bill_Roope: with regard to Steve Kirsch’s kids being vaccinated, I suspect that the kids in question are old enough that they make their own health decisions. I seem to recall him stating that they are in college.
In the tweet at the top Glenn Beck references the Washington State Board of Health meeting that took place yesterday; the agenda item list was vague, and the BOH was forced to issue a clarification of what their intent is/was.
I can tell you first-hand that they got an earful from the public. Reportedly there were 7500 participants on the meeting, muted of course; somewhere between 25 and 30 people were allowed to speak for one minute each. Aside from one guy who had a clinker of a comment, rambling on haltingly for his minute, the participants were well-informed, laser-focused, and absolutely FED UP. One man referenced Nuremberg trials, and said that he hoped to see the board swing from gallows for their crimes in pushing the ineffective and dangerous vaccines. Another woman called them out for even considering adding the COVID vaccines to the mandatory school schedule, referencing the complete lack of long-term safety data; she said that they have awakened a slumbering beast, and the people will not stand for it. There was not a single comment in favor of vaccination or restrictions.
Perhaps the most humorous moment of the proceedings was when the moderator announced that “Lesco Brandon” was up next… “Lesco Brandon, are you there? Lesco Brandon, you’re next…” I’m sure that 7500 Washingtonians were pounding the table with tears in their eyes!
For more context on this meeting, and the apparent desire of Gov. Inslee to hire a “strike force” to deal with the unvaccinated, here is a Global Research article.
You can also read an excellent letter written by Margaret Anna Alice on her Through the Looking Glass substack; note the addendum at the very bottom of the page, incorporating information from Informed Choice Washington.
The state health authorities of the western states (California, Oregon, and Washington) have a weekly Zoom confab on COVID response; I’m hoping that the other states get the message from the Washington group on the mood of the public.
For anyone wishing to go to the source on Doc Robinson’s BC mortality data in comment 95309 earlier on this date, here is the link to the BC Center for Disease Control app that produced those graphs; click on “Top 15 causes of death” at the top, and then click on “Top causes of death by age group” on the right.
That anyone can trot out the false hope that we are ever going to “get back to normal” at this point beggars belief. Go ask Ireland, Gibraltar, Canada, or practically any country without a Second Amendment what their compliance has bought them. Fuck off, @deflationista.
I can’t believe that no one has commented on the fact that Camille appears to be wearing a face mask in the painting!
Another fabulous artist I would recommend is Eliza Gilkyson. Peak Oil-aware, sustainability crisis-aware, human-aware, amazing artist. Here is a link that will bring up cuts from her 2014 album, “Nocturne Diaries:”

Recommended: “Eliza Jane,” “No Tomorrow,” “World Without End,” heck, they’re all good.
Hadestown! Fantastic stuff! I saw the live show when it came to Portland. I love Anais Mitchell’s work. For a good many years she lived here in Portland, honing her craft in the songwriting community. Greg Brown was an inspired choice for Hades – “Why We Build the Wall” for some reason really captures the spirit of the Iraq war years for me. It has new relevance now in 2021.
Back in August TAE Summary posted his brilliant Tale of Two Narratives. Since that time he and I have been working to flesh out that document with links and succinct summaries. I wanted to post a link to the work in progress, both as aid for those wishing to engage with others using high quality sources, and also to solicit help in the project. Here is the link to download a PDF, hosted on wetransfer.com for the moment:
https://we.tl/t-mXdQD6pFCm (note that you’ll have to click on the “Agree to the terms”)
There was a period in September where I was falling behind on keeping up with the links posted here at TAE, and then… I came down with the virus, which enlarged the gap. Since October I’ve been managing to keep within a few days of current, but I’m not making much progress in working off that backlog in September. If you think you would be willing to help with the project, please contact me at
Thanks,

Here is the published paper on Cureus (part of the NIH site), on the xylitol/grapefruit seed extract nasal spray:
Potential Role of Xylitol Plus Grapefruit Seed Extract Nasal Spray Solution in COVID-19: Case Series
It’s pretty weak, being observations on just three patients treated with the nasal spray. But it is published.
Although this article is focused on how can/should the medical establishment use these findings to make a better vaccine, it adds support to the argument that many people, perhaps even a majority of those who are young and without co-morbidities, have a native immune response from prior exposure to coronaviruses that stops SARS-CoV-2 in the upper respiratory tract without even producing antibodies.
During the first half of 2020, around 700 healthcare workers in the UK were tested weekly as part of a crowdfunded study called COVIDsortium. Most of these people, who wore protective equipment, never tested positive for covid-19 in PCR tests or developed covid-19 antibodies – proteins that bind to the outside of viruses, preventing cells from being infected.
However, when Leo Swadling and Mala Maini at University College London and their colleagues looked more closely, they found some of those who tested negative had a protein in their blood that is linked to covid-19 infection, as well as T cell responses to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. T cells are part of the immune system. It appears these people had what Swadling calls an “abortive infection”, where a strong, early T cell response enabled them to get rid of the virus very quickly.
COVID-Resistant People Point the Way Towards a Universal Coronavirus Vaccine
@zerosum: here is the source paper from the ZeroHedge article on the Israeli study:
https://elifesciences.org/articles/69314
Of course, I was curious whether the dangerous proteins were connected to the spike, to determine whether vaccines might express the dangerous proteins. It appears not; the non structural proteins nsp2 and nsp7 are prominent in the attack on the endothelium according to the paper above, but according to the following paper it appears that they are inside the nulcleocapsid:

As Charles Mackay said long ago
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
The upcoming holiday season is going to present us with a lot of opportunities: to be that nudge to ask our friends and family members to consider better evidence, to be witness to what the actual disease is like (if you have experienced it, as I have), and to demonstrate the strength of our convictions in standing up to what is increasingly obvious as medically justified tyranny. Just remember as you go about this work, start from a place of empathy and love.
Karl Denninger digs into the Expose article expecting to debunk… that isn’t what happened:
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=244109
Holy cow, what a finding: certain lots in each of the three US vaccines have wildly higher rates of death and injury that don’t seem to correlate with age or location.
@adrian144: a while back you asked for a link to the Israeli video about adverse effects; is this the one you were interested in?
How Israeli Ministry of Health Deleted Thousands of Testimonies
Relevant to what you’re saying about Japan, please do elaborate on what it is about that article that doesn’t match what you see: is ivermectin not approved? Not being given out? Not effective? Is the vaccine no longer being promoted as heavily? Does the current approach by the government appear to be working well? Thanks.
For those who come after, with regard to the table at the top of this post that relates the number of co-morbidities with outcomes like ICU/ventilation/death; I believe the source for that is this peer-reviewed paper (see Table 1):
I just want to note that the PubMed study referenced in this Debt Rattle is by the same authors who published very similar, if not identical, papers in a couple other places:
@Bill7: One of my cousins, who is a long-time Republican, sent me this note recently:
Read the following on Breitbart on this morning. Made me think of you. Not sure what you’re thinking these days, but I believe he has a point. Something to think about.
“The latest data shows that people in Trump counties are dying at much higher rate than people in Democratic counties.”
As you might have guessed, both my cousin and his wife are vaccinated. Here is what I wrote back:
“The Breitbart article is distressing, not because I accept the premise that conservatives are in some way rejecting the vaccine against their own health interest, but because to me it represents how completely the globalists own all sides of the media landscape. That the author Nolte can write that the vaccines are miraculously effective and safe, and be allowed to publish those bald-faced assertions without even a smidgen of evidence, is doubly distressing. In fact, you can see in the comments of the article that readers are vigorously pushing back on that idiot, quoting Israeli data on how the vaccines are neither effective nor safe. A truly honest conservative web site would recognize the vaccine agenda for what it is: the biggest threat to personal liberty and body sovereignty that has emerged in my lifetime. For the author to cast it in red team / blue team “owning the libs” terms is unbelievably insulting.”
Here is the spike protein calculation:
By the way, the original graphic is on page 96 of the greenmedinfo paper, with an explanation of how the authors came up with the numbers on the preceding pages.
Raul has provided a link to a Dutch language paper for the first graphic of today’s posting. That graphic actually comes from a very comprehensive English-language paper that is referenced vertically in the Dutch paper (you can see the URL in the image Raul published on the right, vertically). There is a lot of information in the English language source paper on topics like asymptomatic transmission, PCR testing, effective treatments, and some esoterica on how data collection practices were altered for the pandemic. Here is the URL:

Many of you have heard that Dr. Peter McCullough is being sued by Baylor Health for allegedly claiming to speak on their behalf. I finally got around to tracking down a link to where you can donate to his legal defense fund:
I’m writing a check this morning.
@tinfoilhattedcanuck: please email me at taes.klieb@spamgourmet.com. I’ll send you links I’ve been collecting on vaccine safety (it’s part of an expanded Tale of Two Narratives project I’m working, though I’ve been falling behind, sigh). Same for anyone else interested.
Thank you, @phoenixvoice, for summarizing the Snake Oil article above. I posted the link yesterday in the afternoon, but it seemed to take a very long time for it to show up in the feed. It falls right on the edge of what I think I can pass on to friends and relatives to see if I can pry them into discussion. The link, again:

The other article that I was thinking of pairing it up with is Gail Tverberg’s article on vaccine shortcomings. There’s something about Gail’s calm writing style that makes it attractive for this purpose, even while discussing topics of enormous import.
Here is a very detailed and well-informed overview laying out the case why the public has been sold a pack of lies about the vaccine:

(again, hat tip to market-ticker.org forum member)
The Ernst Wolff video is indeed a pretty plausible explanation for the big picture. He leaves out what I consider to be the other elephant in the room, energy depletion, but I wouldn’t quibble too much on it, given the strength of his argument on the financials alone. One thing that caught my eye was his mention of the “Young Global Leaders” program of the World Economic Forum, so I spent a few minutes searching. This is from Wikispooks; recognize any names?
In 1992, the WEF launched a new community, the Global Leaders for Tomorrow (GLTs), composed of 200 young leaders from business, politics, academia, the arts and the media, all of them under 43 years of age, and, as the WEF claims, “well established through their achievements and positions of influence”[1]. This claim is simply not true, as the selection is extraordinary prescient, given that many of these people were totally unknown at the time. Angela Merkel, for example, was a nobody from the former East Germany incorporated into united Germany in 1991.
Among those nominated in the first year were many individuals (indicated below with their titles at that time) who would later assume key responsibilities or distinguish themselves further in their fields[1].
Martine Aubry, Minister of Labour, Employment and Vocational Training of France
José Maria Aznar, President, Partido Popular, Spain
José Manuel Durao Barroso, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal
Tony Blair MP, Shadow Cabinet Minister, United Kingdom
Gordon Brown, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, United Kingdom
Yuriko Koike, Senator, Japan New Party, Japan
Anne Lauvergeon, Deputy Secretary-General, Elysée Palace, France
Yo-Yo Ma, Musician
Angela Merkel, Federal Minister for Women and Youth of Germany
Nicholas Sarkozy, Assistant Secretary, RPR, France
Lawrence Summers, Vice-President and Chief Economist, World Bank, Washington DC
Louise Blouin Canadian editorNo doubt Macron, Trudeau, and Scott Morrison were in a subsequent cohort. By the way, there appears to be documentation from the WEF’s own web site for that inaugural class at the Wikispooks entry.
I also found a site that purports to have a more complete, but unverified, list of members here:
The list is so long that it is broken into pages; that link above is for surnames beginning with the letter B; you can just change the ‘b’ at the end of the URL to another letter to go to the pages for other letters of the alphabet. Macron is listed under M, but I don’t see Trudeau or Morrison or Jacinda Arden in the list. I haven’t had a chance to scroll through the other letters of the alphabet yet.
@deflationista: Facebook and the Gates Foundation occupy the #2 and #4 positions on the all-time donor list for the Texas Tribune. I’m sure that fact has no effect on editorial policy, and would never cause them to cherry pick facts and dates in support of The Narrative.
Well, it looks like Big Pharma won’t have to bring briefcases of cash to Congressional offices after all. Health and Human Services have apparently issued a fiat that the approved Comirnaty vaccine has the same immunity to legal liability as the EUA vaccine. Via Robert Malone’s twitter:
Regarding the "factcheckers" that have hit me about my assumption that the Pfizer EUA vaccine was covered by the CICP and BioNTech by the VICP.
As you can see at this link, it is actually worse for you and I that both vaccines are covered by the CICP.https://t.co/7e7LMxkdFB
— Robert W Malone, MD (@RWMaloneMD) August 31, 2021
The money shot in this instance is in the FAQ:
COVID-19 vaccines are covered countermeasures under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), not the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
<snip>
For a category of vaccines to be covered by the VICP, the category of vaccines must be recommended for routine administration to children or pregnant women by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, subject to an excise tax by federal law, and added to the VICP by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. No COVID-19 vaccines currently meet this criteria.https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/faq#covid
Hat tip to Karl Denninger’s Market Ticker forum.
Anyone care to bet whether there is a legal immunity for the currently EUA vaccines buried somewhere in the belly of the infrastructure bill?
Dr. Christina Parks testifying in front of Michigan legislature regarding HB4471 on August 19th; HB4471 is a bill to prohibit employers from discriminating against an individual because the individual has not received or declines to receive certain vaccinations. It’s a concise exposition of the arguments against vaccination, worth sharing.
@laffin_boy: I also ratify your assessment, in the main. Yes, it is monstrous. Yes, it is far, far and away above most people’s rational ability to process, absent a long period of development and education. And that is what we, Raul, you are doing. We’re not aiming at the top, we’re trying to reach out to the sides, to find the chinks in the narrative and expose them.
Here is a link to a multi-part series on vaccine passports and their implications. The writer is affiliated with Catherine Austin Fitt’s Solari site, apparently.
The Global Landscape on Vaccine ID Passports and Where It’s Headed: Part 1
This first article is focused on the legal landscape of vaccine passport legislation throughout the various US states. The successive articles lay out in detail the who, what, when, where, and why.
Just wanted to share an invitation… last night I got together with Madamski and TAE Summary and another friend here in Portland, Oregon for dinner and a beer. If you’re in the Portland area and want to be included in our next social get-together, send me an email at taes.klieb@spamgourmet.com.
Also, both TAE Summary and I continue to work on documenting the Tale of Two Narratives with links. If you want to contribute to that, or just want a read-only link to the work in progress, email me using the address above. Please include your user name if you comment here regularly.
On asymptomatic transmission:
Full testimony of former HHS Covid Adviser: ‘Asymptomatic transmission more myth than reality’
Here is a paper on transmission of the virus in households that appears to state that asymptomatic transmission is rare (0.7%) compared to symptomatic transmission (18%). I suppose it is all how you define symptomatic.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33315116/
The whole origin of the asymptomatic angle came, if I remember correctly from Christian Drosten in Germany, where there was an instance of a woman from China who was diagnosed supposedly without symptoms. However, it later came to light that the woman was taking some form of medication that lessened her symptoms, so the asymptomatic claim is now in question. But at this point it is firmly embedded into the narrative.
Regarding government chosen by lottery… wasn’t there some city in ancient Greece where the leaders were chosen by what was essentially a giant pachinko machine? I think there were black balls and white balls, and depending on which slot the minority balls dropped into the leaders were assigned. Or maybe I just dreamed that up.
If you were unable to watch the Mark Crispin Miller interview from a couple days ago (which YouTube annoyingly put behind a sign-in requirement), here is an alternative link. I can’t vouch for whether it is the full interview, but it looks legit.

@Phoenixvoice: Oops, wrong email address.
@Phoenixvoice: did you remove the comment with the link to your ivermectin song? I wasn’t quick enough to listen last week, and when I search now in the vicinity of July 25th all I can find is John Day thanking you for the song. I wanted to include it in my radio show for the coming week, if you would be comfortable with that. I can be reached at taes@spamgourmet.com to discuss. Thanks.
