Someone could have believed the safe and effective nonsense the first time around and chalk it up to naiveté. It would be understandable. But now they come out and tacitly admit that that wasn’t true, that there are proteins we don’t understand being generated, but despite our not understanding those proteins we can assure you they are very, very safe and effective.... if you’re still going along with it at this point you may genuinely be hopeless. I pray people see through it finally.
Those who trust and worship our government do not pray. They have faith that the American experiment has failed and they have created a religion out of transhumanism, depopulation, human-caused climate change, and many other stupid concepts. The world is better off without those idiots.
While they’re certainly in a bad place, there is always a chance for a person to become aware of their errors and change. Writing off people is not the answer.
I got the initial pair of shots because it was that or lose my job that I've worked very hard for. But I haven't had a single booster, and while I've had Covid twice since 2021 (and probably once before then), both times it was like a mild flu. I'm in my late 50s and pretty fit and healthy, and I can read a graph, so I knew I was never in much danger.
A friend of mine in his early 50s, on the other hand, recently dropped dead of a heart attack while on the dance floor at his local goth club. While that's never out of the realm of possibility, he too was in good overall health. Nobody mentioned it when it happened, but he was also vaccinated and boostered up the wazoo like a proper goodthinker. Makes me wonder.
I'm so disapointed in all these expermental shots. Not a single persin has grown useable wings, gills, a tail, or any of the cool mutations showcased in Gremlins 2.
Also thanks for the extra names to my list for Nuremburg 2 0 trials. Professor Anne Willis and her cosponsers.
I still was not cool with Dr. Drew and the vaccine. He did it to be able to travel. He often stated that he didn't need the vaccine because he had already had Covid, and yet he still took it. He misspoke though, in that he got neither the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine but rather the J&J which led to his "raccoon eye" reaction.

All you’ll have to do is stick his little “wafer” inside your cheek or under your tongue and you’ll be “protected” from the virus that’s no doubt already ready and waiting to be released from some distant biolab.

All my observations are in line with what you say there. I would add that it was "a bad cold, or a worse virus" but it wasn't new. But we really don't know how bad because there was plenty of money involved in making everything about Covid.
What people don't understand is what constitutes as "novel" is that it was yet to be seen among humans. Was it engineered or did it develop organically? Regardless, it wasn't new. Thus it wasn't surprising when immunity to it persisted even in spite of it actually being something "novel."
Even if it was akin to the pandemic we had in 2008-9 of swine flu which no one heard about, it did not necessitate these ridiculous, arbitrary, capricious, and draconian measures to avoid infection
I think it's been obvious for years that it was deliberately created by techniques like serial passage with a minimum of direct genetic engineering (like the furin cleavage site).
I *don't* think that it was created to be a bioweapon, to deliberately generate a pandemic. This kind of research shouldn't be carried out anywhere, but definitely not in China or -- god forbid -- Russia.
I don't know. And maybe to you it is obvious. To me it is not. There could very well have been a lab leak. We are told under "good authority" that it could not be naturally evolved. We have email receipts to prove this. But I have to be intellectually consistent if I am against an appeal to experts logical fallacy, then it has to be constant and questioning.
Regardless of how it was created. I still maintain it was not dangerous enough to warrant a worldwide response to it. Most of us were dining in at restaurants back in 2020 when the disease was already circulating through the population since November of the previous year.
And yet, we were all mandated, PSA'd, propagandized, urged, pleaded with, bribed, coerced to wear a mask and then later, a vaccine. A vaccine that, despite all propaganda to the contrary, has more VAERS reports than all other vaccines combined. And they continue to force it. It's still mandated on some college campuses, it's part of the child vaccination schedule. While covid might not have been deliberately created as a bioweapon, what does it say about our government that they continue to promote this product despite some very real reservations about it?
Our government is entirely composed of human beings who are subject to manipulation by varied and powerful means. Most "civil servants" just want to do their jobs and draw a paycheck like anyone else. Some suffer megalomania and the rest go along to get along.
Yes, and government is going to govern. How often do you think there are government officials out there looking for ways for government not to be involved in people's lives. The conservatives liked to run on "limited government" but I think what they really mean is "limited increase in government.
I would rather have those civil servants that want to do their jobs and draw their paychecks. Because of the financial requirements to run for office, I doubt many lobbyist would fund a candidate running on "I will come in like a wrecking ball to government."
In September 2020, this was the CDC's best estimate for the COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate:
Rate by Age Group:
0-19 years old: 0.00003
20-49 years old: 0.0002
50-69 years old: 0.005
70+ years old: 0.054
Meaning all of the following carnage was based on the non-danger of COVID:
The masks ● the social distancing ● the lockdowns ● the economic and farming destruction ● the mental and physical health destruction ● the arrested development of millions of children ● the myriad of preventable suicides ● the bevy of new, rushed, barely tested, deadly vaccines
We knew 100 years ago how to deal with a respiratory viral infection: Put patients outdoors where they can make Vitamin D from sunlight and a slight breeze can dissipate a viral vapor cloud; focus protection resources on the very old and the fat, and leave every one else alone pending more information. So, we did the opposite.
They enforced the opposite because nothing about this has ever been about health or safety, rather it's only been about control and seizing it with an iron fist.
There was another problem, which was the loss of confidence in medical professionals. Medical bureaucrats are concerned with protecting their status, reputation, job. Practitioners, such as your family physician, are concerned with protecting their patients. Huge difference.
These days, your family physician -- renamed "primary care provider" -- is much more likely to be concerned with fulfilling corporate directives and mandates in order to keep their job.
That is true in television dramas that need a villain. The Affordable Care Act arrayed the power of the nation against individual practitioners. "Practitioner" includes anyone practicing medicine for the benefit of patients. I have a neurologist (seizures and late-onset hydrocephalus), a urologist (history of bladder cancers), a PCP, a palliative care Nurse Practitioner (think Hospice Light), a Dermatologist, a Cardiologist and probably half a dozen others I can't bring to mind (forgot pulmonologist). Not one of them is concerned with corporate anything. They are concerned with government.
The ACA forced consolidation for self-protection. No individual provider stood a chance against the might of government. A survey several years ago conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM - I'm a subscriber) found that practitioners who accept Medicare or Medicaid spend more time on government paperwork than with patients. Government controls more than half of all medical expenditures in the country.
They are also concerned with insurance. I asked to see my PCP's malpractice insurance to see what tests/procedures were required, and then refused in writing to undergo about half of them because they were useless. For example, a requirement for an annual Prostate Specific Antigen test is senseless. I'm 75 and prostate cancer grows so slowly that I am nearly guaranteed to die of something else first.
I attended medical school in Germany and was through the first year of a psychiatry residency before needing to return to the U.S. I chose to leave medicine altogether rather than try to spend a year learning English vocabulary, then taking the U.S. Boards and finally competing in my late forties for a slot in a residency with recent med school grads in their twenties. I was better than average as a psychiatrist, middling in other areas of medicine except surgery, where I was a major danger to my patients. I still talk with a wide array of practitioners across the country, including about a dozen who subscribe to my substack.
Exactly. We were likely living with the virus for months (during the winter!) without even noticing....because old and sick people have died every winter ever.
If you take a step back, everything - every issue - is the same way with the people who pushed the jab.
There's no concept of grey area, of tradeoffs, of risks, of anything... There's not even an acknowledgement that some things are unknown, or that anyone could disagree for any reason other than stupidity or malice.
There's certainly no understanding or appreciation of the fact that other people have any right to autonomy. It's the same thing with identity politics - there's a simple answer to everything, just make the widgets, I mean people, act a certain way.
These contemptible, ignorant "elites" (who are in fact substandard mediocrities because the left hollowed out education a long time ago) think human beings are not just machines, but machines that belong to them.
The ongoing saga of Claudine Gay is another example. They've backed themselves into the corner saying that she was OBVIOUSLY qualified and if you don't think so you're racist.
Last I checked, Rufo and crew were up to 41 instances of plagiarism in her work.
The die has been cast, it's just a matter of how much reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeing gets done before it happens.
To be fair to Egas Moniz (who got half the prize, the other half went to Walter Rudolf Hess) the reason he got it was because lobotomy was exceptionally efficient in reducing or removing violent behaviours from persistent psychotics, which is what the procedure was intended to be used for in a time before anti-psychotic medicines existed.
What it actually came to be used for wasn't Moniz intent at all.
Being outraged over how it's been abused and misused is fine and dandy, but just as with ECT and anti-psychiotics/-depressants, the abuse cannot be the sole measure of the worth of the thing being abused, else we couldn't have fire, even.
It's the same with mRNA-injections: the abuse, the frauds, the coercion, the house-arrests, and discrimination and pandemic of hate against critics is the problem, too. But when (or rather if) the technology actually works?
I can guarantee most critics will line up for therapy, if they can simply drop off a cell-sample and get a pair of new corneas grown in a vat.
Was the same with airplanes. And cars. And stirrups. And metal ploughshares. And...
It will happen. It will be abused at first. Then it will gradually be brought under state-corporate control and an equilibrium between profitable/useful/dangerous will be reached.
That I, personally, wish for researcher and corporations to advance slowly, carefully, put ethical concerns before profiteering or "let's see what happens"-scientism, well you know the old saw about which hand fills up first.
Best we can do is keep screaming and putting a blow-torch up the arse of authority on general principle. That and trying to get our fellow humans to think - not what to think, just think.
To extended the comparison, what is the equivalent to safe, cheap and easily available commerical airplanes since that is what killed the zeppelines as transportation, not the Hindenburg accident.
I think it important to remember that this is just the usual outbreak of human nature all over. When you look at the trees of technological possibilities you miss the primordial forest.
Maniacal Morons of Science have been saying, with great enthusiasm and little sensible restraint, "Take this and get better fast!" from the moment humans first noticed that not every plant tastes the same. One day you notice monkeys falling into stupors after eating some over-ripe berries and the next day you're mashing up those berries to give wheezing grandma a good night's sleep. Even money if she wakes up dead or alive the next morning. Betcha anything that's how it all started.
The more official funding Maniacal Morons of Science get, the more experimental subjects they want, and this has always been true everywhere.
Every governing entity has tried to get bigger and more controlling since the beginning of the fever dream of empires. The WEF is different from the Holy Roman Empire exactly how? From Rome the conquering political empire how? From Byzantium how? From Babylonia how?
I'm as mad as any sensible person about what has been done to the world during this our Plague Era, but I can't really feel that injections of spike proteins are entirely of a different species of intervention than prescribing calomel for everything. People have been poisoned because they trusted the experts. People quite often find themselves poisoned because they trusted the experts.
What we need to focus on now, in my view, is how we fix this. Keeping in mind that fixes for human nature don't exist and there can be only temporary mitigations. So what's the fix for this latest physical poisoning? Me, I start with Vitamin C for everything.
The primary difference between progressives and those grounded in reality seems to be belief around fixes for human nature. Progressives believe in the perfectability of mankind; others know better.
If their injections do harm, I would think so do their "cures". The research in that video mentions one brand which was family owned - that would be the one I would shoot for.
I get all my vitamins from Swanson's mail order and have had good results with mass market brand Nature's Bounty if I've run out.
There is a limit to how much worrying about sources I can do. We're drinking the water and breathing the air, anyway, and there's no pristine refuge anywhere. Maybe we don't even need pristine. That Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, it's now the biggest wildlife refuge in Europe. We can't neuroticize ourselves into breakdowns.
And I disagree that the shots were *intended* to cause harm. Just Morons of Science, moronizing.
I am old enough to remember the carnage caused by Rely tampons and the Dalkon Shield, and how many other things, repurposed from their original purposes and turned into consumer products, that ended up being not very good ideas.
In so much of this, generalizing here, I'm with Eugyppius rather than, say, the 2nd Smartest Guy in the World. Incompetence and garden-variety hubris and stupidity are often quite enough to cause breathtaking catastrophe.
But mind you, I'm not debating you here. I just see it differently. And I don't like granting "them guys" such a degree of mythic power and cunning when they are just miserable mostly malfunctioning testicle types.
Maybe that's one of the reasons putting any continued faith in Republican Wretches of Government is a bad survival strategy.
Imagine if all the people who go, for example, on Trump rally road trips used their energy to put the screws on their local, state and national representatives instead.
And, look. Military and secret-stuff budgets are always toxic bloats. This has never not been true. We need a new understanding of political organizing to start biting their toes off before moving higher.
To your second point, having a practically unlimited budget the use of which is hidden behind closed doors - doors which very few people have the security clearances to even know about much less access (meaning there is no real accountability by We the People) - is an extremely toxic mixture. Human nature guarantees that very very bad things will emerge from such a black dungeon. And the more time that passes the more grotesque those emergent things will be. We are here.
Things being bad in the course of civilization's cycles is not exactly a new horror. I wouldn't much have enjoyed hearing the hoofbeats of Mongol horses getting nearer, or being the ancestor who got dragged off in chains, or being the dying body of my great-great-aunt falling into that ditch in Uman.
So we should maybe keep a sense of proportion. There have been always been Plague Eras and many more casualties added to the natural tally because of Morons of Science trying to help. We are not enduring some special horror. It's just the commonplace horror.
And we have to fight it with common sense. I gave the ER reception staffer a hard time, despite the broken bone distorting the shape of my wrist, when she told me to wear a mask. When they sent over the security guard to intimidate me--as politely as he could, poor guy--I explained politely why the masks were a useless intervention. Maybe that rubbed off on him, maybe not, and I had to comply because I did need that wrist fixed, but it's all these little interactions everyone can try to have that begin to create a river of change.
We already knew three generations ago what the MIC and the cowboys of the CIA were capable of doing when the moneybags showered down on their poxy heads. This is an endless job and I will ask one more time in the fields of Substack why conservatives did nothing back in the days when they had more credibility and more power.
Regarding your last point, this is from Senator Church in 1975:
“There would be no place to hide.” The technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny. And there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is this capability of this technology.
“I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America and we must see to it that all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That’s the abyss from which there is no return..”
It's been 48 years since he made that statement, and corruption is a function of time that only trends in one direction in between resets.
You nailed this, and it's something I go over in my fake money fake economy article. It's not surprising that it happened, but (perhaps) more surprising that so many people don't have the ability to see the scam for what it is.
I'm partial to my daily booster of Vitamin D! (sunshine)
I had my final X-ray and consultation yesterday, closing out The Adventure of the Wrist that began at the end of Sept. I am, as the jolly phrase has it, a senior citizen, with a cheerfully sedentary lifestyle, and yet my bone is all healed, nice and solid. I was taking at least 12,000mgs daily of Vitamin C and eating as much full-fat cheese in all its glorious varieties as I could manage to chow down. [She can manage quite a lot.] I declined to go for physical therapy when the cast came off last month because I'd rather, as that deathless commercial said, do it myself. I have a pretty good idea of how my hand should work...
Anyway all this to say that once the medical professionals have done the things we can't quite manage on our own (one-handed bone setting is probably not a skill I want to acquire), it's our own responsibility to do the rest of the job. I might've been ahead of the game since I never fell for those low-fat and no salt idiocies, or minimum daily requirement i.e. sub-therapeutic doses of nutrients.
People took the vax; OK, that's the situation; now how to repair the damage? The body is a remarkable thing. If you're not dead, there's hope. Every day you can help yourself get a little bit better. Maybe not all the way. But something is better than nothing and something is a start.
Hopefully a couple of nice fatty free-range porkchops and a nice grass fed/finished rib-eye or two to go along with the cheese.
Have been following the commentary above and as usual on the SubCom stack, find it fascinating how folks approach an idea from different angles. The give and take. Migrant viewpoints that sometimes merge, sometimes don't. But most importantly, the respect for honest discourse.
Damn shame that most the Dems and definitely the left in general, have forgotten how, or deliberately chose to, how to do that.
To your last sentence--imagine my surprise to have encountered, on the Substacks of rationalist scrupulous fact-seekers and anti-hysterics an absolute cavalcade of hysterical fundamentalist Christian shriekers in the readership wo are willing at the least provocation to consign other people directly with no detours to hell if they encounter the least disagreement with their dogma. Nobody ever expects etc etc. but still.
So I'd say that failure, willful or otherwise, is 100% non-sectarian and non-partisan. Hating and reviling those who disagree with one's views is a vigorously-pursued sport in America.
But to your first sentence--mmmmm! And I sure do need someone to teach me how to properly cook a succulent porkchop. Given the limitations of these wretched cook surface electric stoves and an apt. overloaded with smoke detectors and sprinklers, this may be a dish I've no hope of making at home.
And just last week there was a big recall of air fryers...
I just want some magic disruption of the currents of fate so I could get my mother's 1950s gas range into my currently not-yet-received lakeside cottage.
I love my air fryer so much I upgraded to a huge one, and also bought a airfryer combo oven. I rebuilt a small 1940's cottage deliberatly without a standard oven. Best things ever.
On reflection, your first two para's make sense, I've seen the same. Although, unless I've missed it, not here on the SC stack.
On the last para - sympathies. Remodeling the kitchen some twelve years back, one absolute was a full-scale, almost commercial, range (a folly then and come to find out a maintenance folly still!). But, cranking out 18k btu per burner, I can do some serious transformations (damage at times) to a slab of protein in a screaming hot, cast iron skillet. Then again, I use a couple of grills too for some succulent grub. Have you no balcony to install one of those 'tail-gater' type little grills?
On every Stack. But hilariously, most rabidly on bad cattitude. Go figure.
To your last sentence--there is a reason I'm dreaming of a Ukrainian oligarch for Hanukkah, Christmas or any fortuitous day of the year. I do want that lakeside estate but would very gladly settle for a tiny cottage (with lots of attic space though) on a nice piece of land, and a live-in Swiss couple to do the driving and meat-roasting. I am not a greedy person.
Interesting. I'll have to pay more attention to the b-cat's posts. So much to read these days. Well, at least it's a useful weaning from the boob-tube.
I think that was also a feature of the psy-op. There was such a monumental amount of nonsense thrown at us so quickly and so unendingly that it becomes difficult to remember individual events, statements, contradictions, etc. It’s good to go back through these things to remind ourselves that however bad we remember the last few years may have been, it was actually much worse. We’ve just been unable to retain it all.
NPCs will NPC You!.... in other words the godly will do anything they can to exorcise demons - but Truth will always make those under possession repell from the Truth Teller, for fear of an exorcism.
SC - In 1946, more Doctors who claimed it to be safe and effective, preferred smoking Camel. I prefer Morley Mr. Mulder.
Someone could have believed the safe and effective nonsense the first time around and chalk it up to naiveté. It would be understandable. But now they come out and tacitly admit that that wasn’t true, that there are proteins we don’t understand being generated, but despite our not understanding those proteins we can assure you they are very, very safe and effective.... if you’re still going along with it at this point you may genuinely be hopeless. I pray people see through it finally.
I wonder why these people aren't SUPER PISSED OFF
End-stage demoralization? Sheer delusion? Hard to say.
Those who trust and worship our government do not pray. They have faith that the American experiment has failed and they have created a religion out of transhumanism, depopulation, human-caused climate change, and many other stupid concepts. The world is better off without those idiots.
While they’re certainly in a bad place, there is always a chance for a person to become aware of their errors and change. Writing off people is not the answer.

"Only takes ten minutes!"
Any time the subject of lobotomies comes up my mind goes to Repo Man. "Then he had a lobotomy and now he's well again."
Co effects.
always call them Co-Effects, and not side effects.
Excellent piece and timely reminder.
A propos your Bill Gates quote:
- "If you want to wait and see if a side effect shows up two years later, that takes two years " - the little monster is at it again :- pumping vast sums of cash into a new “needle-free” mRNA vaccine technology in preparation for the next big pandemic.

So no evil intentions, eh? Just a bunch of naive amateurs trying to make a buck?
To me, the saddest thing is that it was only ever a common cold virus, dangerous only to the very old and the very fat.

I’m sorry that you experienced that. It seems to me your practitioners’ malpractice insurance policy was written with one eye on the feds.

A survey several years ago conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM - I'm a subscriber) found that practitioners who accept Medicare or Medicaid spend more time on government paperwork than with patients. Government controls more than half of all medical expenditures in the country.
They are also concerned with insurance. I asked to see my PCP's malpractice insurance to see what tests/procedures were required, and then refused in writing to undergo about half of them because they were useless. For example, a requirement for an annual Prostate Specific Antigen test is senseless. I'm 75 and prostate cancer grows so slowly that I am nearly guaranteed to die of something else first.
I attended medical school in Germany and was through the first year of a psychiatry residency before needing to return to the U.S. I chose to leave medicine altogether rather than try to spend a year learning English vocabulary, then taking the U.S. Boards and finally competing in my late forties for a slot in a residency with recent med school grads in their twenties. I was better than average as a psychiatrist, middling in other areas of medicine except surgery, where I was a major danger to my patients. I still talk with a wide array of practitioners across the country, including about a dozen who subscribe to my substack.
Exactly. We were likely living with the virus for months (during the winter!) without even noticing....because old and sick people have died every winter ever.
If you take a step back, everything - every issue - is the same way with the people who pushed the jab.
There's no concept of grey area, of tradeoffs, of risks, of anything... There's not even an acknowledgement that some things are unknown, or that anyone could disagree for any reason other than stupidity or malice.
There's certainly no understanding or appreciation of the fact that other people have any right to autonomy. It's the same thing with identity politics - there's a simple answer to everything, just make the widgets, I mean people, act a certain way.
These contemptible, ignorant "elites" (who are in fact substandard mediocrities because the left hollowed out education a long time ago) think human beings are not just machines, but machines that belong to them.
The ongoing saga of Claudine Gay is another example. They've backed themselves into the corner saying that she was OBVIOUSLY qualified and if you don't think so you're racist.
Last I checked, Rufo and crew were up to 41 instances of plagiarism in her work.
The die has been cast, it's just a matter of how much reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeing gets done before it happens.
Commander and Tritorch...this was an epic compilation/stack.
Keeper.
He did all the work!
To be fair to Egas Moniz (who got half the prize, the other half went to Walter Rudolf Hess) the reason he got it was because lobotomy was exceptionally efficient in reducing or removing violent behaviours from persistent psychotics, which is what the procedure was intended to be used for in a time before anti-psychotic medicines existed.
What it actually came to be used for wasn't Moniz intent at all.
Being outraged over how it's been abused and misused is fine and dandy, but just as with ECT and anti-psychiotics/-depressants, the abuse cannot be the sole measure of the worth of the thing being abused, else we couldn't have fire, even.
It's the same with mRNA-injections: the abuse, the frauds, the coercion, the house-arrests, and discrimination and pandemic of hate against critics is the problem, too. But when (or rather if) the technology actually works?
I can guarantee most critics will line up for therapy, if they can simply drop off a cell-sample and get a pair of new corneas grown in a vat.
Was the same with airplanes. And cars. And stirrups. And metal ploughshares. And...
It will happen. It will be abused at first. Then it will gradually be brought under state-corporate control and an equilibrium between profitable/useful/dangerous will be reached.
That I, personally, wish for researcher and corporations to advance slowly, carefully, put ethical concerns before profiteering or "let's see what happens"-scientism, well you know the old saw about which hand fills up first.
Best we can do is keep screaming and putting a blow-torch up the arse of authority on general principle. That and trying to get our fellow humans to think - not what to think, just think.
I think they have killed the Golden goose.
You forgot the Hindenberg.
100 years before dridgeables were considered again.
To extended the comparison, what is the equivalent to safe, cheap and easily available commerical airplanes since that is what killed the zeppelines as transportation, not the Hindenburg accident.
It just gets the blame since it was spectacular.
Nope, Airlines were not safe then.
We now have dridgeables being built that will carry cargo across the oceans at twice the price as ships but in a quarter of the time.
Could have been done decades ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_by_foundation_date
A spectacular catastrophe ended the era of the dridgeables.
I suggest the same fate will befall
mRNA technology.
I think it important to remember that this is just the usual outbreak of human nature all over. When you look at the trees of technological possibilities you miss the primordial forest.
Maniacal Morons of Science have been saying, with great enthusiasm and little sensible restraint, "Take this and get better fast!" from the moment humans first noticed that not every plant tastes the same. One day you notice monkeys falling into stupors after eating some over-ripe berries and the next day you're mashing up those berries to give wheezing grandma a good night's sleep. Even money if she wakes up dead or alive the next morning. Betcha anything that's how it all started.
The more official funding Maniacal Morons of Science get, the more experimental subjects they want, and this has always been true everywhere.
Every governing entity has tried to get bigger and more controlling since the beginning of the fever dream of empires. The WEF is different from the Holy Roman Empire exactly how? From Rome the conquering political empire how? From Byzantium how? From Babylonia how?
I'm as mad as any sensible person about what has been done to the world during this our Plague Era, but I can't really feel that injections of spike proteins are entirely of a different species of intervention than prescribing calomel for everything. People have been poisoned because they trusted the experts. People quite often find themselves poisoned because they trusted the experts.
What we need to focus on now, in my view, is how we fix this. Keeping in mind that fixes for human nature don't exist and there can be only temporary mitigations. So what's the fix for this latest physical poisoning? Me, I start with Vitamin C for everything.
The primary difference between progressives and those grounded in reality seems to be belief around fixes for human nature. Progressives believe in the perfectability of mankind; others know better.
I will quibble with you about the opposite of "progressive" always being "those grounded in reality."
You're not only the best bad fairy, you're the best quibbler.
Great comment. Although while those berries may have been given in good faith, this injection is only intended to cause harm.
About those vitamins, almost all are owned by megacorporations, many of which are the same companies who make these killshots: https://tritorch.com/degradation/AlmostAllVitaminsInSuperMarketsAreOwnedByMegaCorporationsSeptember2023.mp4 [3:20mins]
If their injections do harm, I would think so do their "cures". The research in that video mentions one brand which was family owned - that would be the one I would shoot for.
Damn. You're on the money. I did realize you had your own stack.
Good stuff!...as usual
I get all my vitamins from Swanson's mail order and have had good results with mass market brand Nature's Bounty if I've run out.
There is a limit to how much worrying about sources I can do. We're drinking the water and breathing the air, anyway, and there's no pristine refuge anywhere. Maybe we don't even need pristine. That Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, it's now the biggest wildlife refuge in Europe. We can't neuroticize ourselves into breakdowns.
And I disagree that the shots were *intended* to cause harm. Just Morons of Science, moronizing.
There is vast research the behind the word 'harm'. Signs point to it being a DARPA weapon:

Given how well it achieves damage and death, it is clear that that is one of its primary purposes: https://tritorch.com/degradation/ExcessDeathsSkyrocketInsurance2023.png [image]
I am old enough to remember the carnage caused by Rely tampons and the Dalkon Shield, and how many other things, repurposed from their original purposes and turned into consumer products, that ended up being not very good ideas.
In so much of this, generalizing here, I'm with Eugyppius rather than, say, the 2nd Smartest Guy in the World. Incompetence and garden-variety hubris and stupidity are often quite enough to cause breathtaking catastrophe.
But mind you, I'm not debating you here. I just see it differently. And I don't like granting "them guys" such a degree of mythic power and cunning when they are just miserable mostly malfunctioning testicle types.
More like greed!
People who want or get power have ever not been greedy? Ever?
Fair enough, but "them guys" have a gargantuan budget, and they have been using it: https://tritorch.com/DARPA
Maybe that's one of the reasons putting any continued faith in Republican Wretches of Government is a bad survival strategy.
Imagine if all the people who go, for example, on Trump rally road trips used their energy to put the screws on their local, state and national representatives instead.
And, look. Military and secret-stuff budgets are always toxic bloats. This has never not been true. We need a new understanding of political organizing to start biting their toes off before moving higher.
To your first point, that is what this was for: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/apathy-is-the-fire-in-which-we-burn It did galvanize at least one person. His is the pinned comment.
To your second point, having a practically unlimited budget the use of which is hidden behind closed doors - doors which very few people have the security clearances to even know about much less access (meaning there is no real accountability by We the People) - is an extremely toxic mixture. Human nature guarantees that very very bad things will emerge from such a black dungeon. And the more time that passes the more grotesque those emergent things will be. We are here.
OK, look. I don't dispute things are bad.
Things being bad in the course of civilization's cycles is not exactly a new horror. I wouldn't much have enjoyed hearing the hoofbeats of Mongol horses getting nearer, or being the ancestor who got dragged off in chains, or being the dying body of my great-great-aunt falling into that ditch in Uman.
So we should maybe keep a sense of proportion. There have been always been Plague Eras and many more casualties added to the natural tally because of Morons of Science trying to help. We are not enduring some special horror. It's just the commonplace horror.
And we have to fight it with common sense. I gave the ER reception staffer a hard time, despite the broken bone distorting the shape of my wrist, when she told me to wear a mask. When they sent over the security guard to intimidate me--as politely as he could, poor guy--I explained politely why the masks were a useless intervention. Maybe that rubbed off on him, maybe not, and I had to comply because I did need that wrist fixed, but it's all these little interactions everyone can try to have that begin to create a river of change.
We already knew three generations ago what the MIC and the cowboys of the CIA were capable of doing when the moneybags showered down on their poxy heads. This is an endless job and I will ask one more time in the fields of Substack why conservatives did nothing back in the days when they had more credibility and more power.
Inch by inch. Row by row.
Regarding your last point, this is from Senator Church in 1975:
“There would be no place to hide.” The technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny. And there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is this capability of this technology.
“I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America and we must see to it that all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That’s the abyss from which there is no return..”
It's been 48 years since he made that statement, and corruption is a function of time that only trends in one direction in between resets.
There is always a way to fight back. It's a matter of having the guts and the wits to do it.
You nailed this, and it's something I go over in my fake money fake economy article. It's not surprising that it happened, but (perhaps) more surprising that so many people don't have the ability to see the scam for what it is.
I'm partial to my daily booster of Vitamin D! (sunshine)
I had my final X-ray and consultation yesterday, closing out The Adventure of the Wrist that began at the end of Sept. I am, as the jolly phrase has it, a senior citizen, with a cheerfully sedentary lifestyle, and yet my bone is all healed, nice and solid. I was taking at least 12,000mgs daily of Vitamin C and eating as much full-fat cheese in all its glorious varieties as I could manage to chow down. [She can manage quite a lot.] I declined to go for physical therapy when the cast came off last month because I'd rather, as that deathless commercial said, do it myself. I have a pretty good idea of how my hand should work...
Anyway all this to say that once the medical professionals have done the things we can't quite manage on our own (one-handed bone setting is probably not a skill I want to acquire), it's our own responsibility to do the rest of the job. I might've been ahead of the game since I never fell for those low-fat and no salt idiocies, or minimum daily requirement i.e. sub-therapeutic doses of nutrients.
People took the vax; OK, that's the situation; now how to repair the damage? The body is a remarkable thing. If you're not dead, there's hope. Every day you can help yourself get a little bit better. Maybe not all the way. But something is better than nothing and something is a start.
Hopefully a couple of nice fatty free-range porkchops and a nice grass fed/finished rib-eye or two to go along with the cheese.
Have been following the commentary above and as usual on the SubCom stack, find it fascinating how folks approach an idea from different angles. The give and take. Migrant viewpoints that sometimes merge, sometimes don't. But most importantly, the respect for honest discourse.
Damn shame that most the Dems and definitely the left in general, have forgotten how, or deliberately chose to, how to do that.
To your last sentence--imagine my surprise to have encountered, on the Substacks of rationalist scrupulous fact-seekers and anti-hysterics an absolute cavalcade of hysterical fundamentalist Christian shriekers in the readership wo are willing at the least provocation to consign other people directly with no detours to hell if they encounter the least disagreement with their dogma. Nobody ever expects etc etc. but still.
So I'd say that failure, willful or otherwise, is 100% non-sectarian and non-partisan. Hating and reviling those who disagree with one's views is a vigorously-pursued sport in America.
But to your first sentence--mmmmm! And I sure do need someone to teach me how to properly cook a succulent porkchop. Given the limitations of these wretched cook surface electric stoves and an apt. overloaded with smoke detectors and sprinklers, this may be a dish I've no hope of making at home.
Air Fryer for Pork , chicken, sausages, and bacon is perfect and super easy, crispy and succulent as long as not overcooked
And just last week there was a big recall of air fryers...
I just want some magic disruption of the currents of fate so I could get my mother's 1950s gas range into my currently not-yet-received lakeside cottage.
I love my air fryer so much I upgraded to a huge one, and also bought a airfryer combo oven. I rebuilt a small 1940's cottage deliberatly without a standard oven. Best things ever.
We might not be of complementary temperaments.
On reflection, your first two para's make sense, I've seen the same. Although, unless I've missed it, not here on the SC stack.
On the last para - sympathies. Remodeling the kitchen some twelve years back, one absolute was a full-scale, almost commercial, range (a folly then and come to find out a maintenance folly still!). But, cranking out 18k btu per burner, I can do some serious transformations (damage at times) to a slab of protein in a screaming hot, cast iron skillet. Then again, I use a couple of grills too for some succulent grub. Have you no balcony to install one of those 'tail-gater' type little grills?
On every Stack. But hilariously, most rabidly on bad cattitude. Go figure.
To your last sentence--there is a reason I'm dreaming of a Ukrainian oligarch for Hanukkah, Christmas or any fortuitous day of the year. I do want that lakeside estate but would very gladly settle for a tiny cottage (with lots of attic space though) on a nice piece of land, and a live-in Swiss couple to do the driving and meat-roasting. I am not a greedy person.
Interesting. I'll have to pay more attention to the b-cat's posts. So much to read these days. Well, at least it's a useful weaning from the boob-tube.
Attic space?
Who can't use lots of attic space? Surely everyone has a hobby...
Ah.
Unfinished half of a (heated) basement serves that purpose.
Well. I'd take a basement if no attic was possible. Though both would be ideal.
Really enjoyed hate-reading this.
Triggering posts like this keep my BS immunity strong lest I fall back to sleep and unRedPill myself .
I think that was also a feature of the psy-op. There was such a monumental amount of nonsense thrown at us so quickly and so unendingly that it becomes difficult to remember individual events, statements, contradictions, etc. It’s good to go back through these things to remind ourselves that however bad we remember the last few years may have been, it was actually much worse. We’ve just been unable to retain it all.
