The Weekly Watch

Another Dose...of manipulation and control?

Open Thread Image.jpg

There are a few new things about protocols for vaccine injuries and long COVID, but the real impetus for today's topic is the blatant control being exerted over other countries, people, doctors, alternate media, and narrative control (yes, the ministry of truth is back). Did you hear about the Bilderberg gathering this week? At least the WEF is open with it's Davos meeting. Bilderberg meets in secret.

The Bilderberg group is an organization of political leaders and international financiers that meets secretly every spring to make global policy. There are about 110 regulars—Rockefellers, Rothschilds, bankers, heads of international corporations and high government officials from Europe and North America. Each year, a few new people are invited and, if found useful, they return to future meetings. If not, they are discarded. Decisions reached at these secret meetings affect every American and much of the world.

Max tried to crash the party. He and Jimmy discuss the meeting.

The highly secretive Bilderberg Group met in person for the first time since the pandemic, taking up and cordoning off the entire Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington DC to plan world domination while refusing to allow access to any of the plebes whose lives they’re planning or journalists who might cover the proceedings.

Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the shadowy organization’s plans and just why the mainstream media chooses to ignore this meeting of some of the world’s most powerful people.

It's pretty interesting to see who was included this year, which was chaired by William Burns, director of the CIA.

The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.
Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued.

Sound dangerous to me...a secret meeting of corporate and government oligarchs.

Russell Brand like Jimmy takes some getting used to, but he is insightful and describes the Bilderberg Meeting with his comedic style.

One of the best discussions I heard this week was with Chris Martenson and the author of 'The Rise of the New Normal Reich' -- CJ Hopkins. https://consentfactory.org/
Hopkins lays out the natural progression of US hegemony toward control and manipulation of its own citizens.

Well worth your time IMO. Try the first 30 min anyway. At least I found it thought provoking...fitting right in with today's theme.

The nature of a hegemony is to quell all rivals, and so dysfunctional America is challenging the bear and the dragon. What a foolish way to squander our resources!
Ray McGovern offers his insights into the Ukraine conflict.

"The Real Story of Ukraine: What the Public is not being Told: A Dialogue with former CIA analyst Ray McGovern"

Consider that everything you are being told about Ukraine coming through Western media is being manipulated to support the US war machine. Consider that Ukraine is not only a victim of Russian aggression but a pawn in the US strategy of an armed NATO expanded to the borders of Russia.

Today we dialogue with Ray McGovern who has had decades of experience in Russian affairs — three of them as a CIA analyst “back in the day” when analysts could report Russia, at least, without fear or favor. His duties included preparing the President’s Daily Brief, which he briefed one-on-one to President Ronald Reagan’s five most senior national security advisers from 1981 to 1985. Ray is fluent in Russian, German, and Spanish.

https://scheerpost.com/2022/06/09/faced-with-donbass-defeat-us-uk-up-the...

As even some of the mainstream media point out, on top of the four precision-guided, medium-range rocket systems sent by the U.S. last week, this decision marks a new stage in the war in which the West is prepared to provide the Ukrainian military with the capacity to strike deep in to Russian territory, something they previously carefully avoided.

This is one in a series of escalations on the part of the Western powers. It provoked immediate retaliation in words and deeds from Russian President Vladimir Putin — including the first bombardment of Kiev for five weeks — as Western leaders must have known it would.

It underlines the fact that the West is still pushing for nothing less than the complete defeat of Russia while Russian troops continue their offensive.

The objective is to make this conflict last as long as possible to maximize the MIC profits.
https://scheerpost.com/2022/06/09/craig-murray-us-prolongs-ukraine-war/

I should say that every source I spoke with believed the Ukrainians were acting on instructions conveyed from Washington to Zelensky by Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, who openly stated he wanted the war to wear down Russian defense capabilities.

A long war in Ukraine is of course massively in the interest of the U.S. military industrial complex, whose dripping roasts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria have gone rather off the heat.

Patrick Lawrence: Will Biden Provoke War with China?

Lawrence finds it alarming that the US currently seeks to wall in the rising power of other nations rather than opening the door to different centers of influence, which was promised with the creation of the UN at the end of WW II: “Historically the stated American intent in 1945 was to bring along the world into a grand era of prosperity, material well being, raise up the underdeveloped nations.” But now, Lawrence argues, America is threatened by ”the rise of China, the rise of India, Pakistan, Brazil, the South Africans…aren’t we supposed to be applauding this as exactly what we wanted to see and what we set out to engender seven decades and some ago? Think about that. The reality is we can’t handle it. We just can’t imagine a world that rests on anything even remotely resembling parity.”

TheDosesideways.jpg

Bad as that is, it isn't the primary reason for today's topic...it was the heart wrenching stories of doctors saving lives and being punished for it....an Italian doctor found hung (reminded me of Epstein) and a Swiss doctor who was arrested, but they couldn't charge him, so they declared him crazy.

This week two brilliant guests, Dr. Andrea Stramezzi from Italy and Dr. Thomas Binder from Switzerland, joined Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik to discuss Europe's reaction to the use of repurposed drugs.

Dr. Stramezzi has treated over 5,000 COVID patients, never charging a penny, because he felt that it was his duty as a doctor in an emergency to help. For this, he was arrested by Italian Military Police and suspended for 12 months for not practicing according to the Italian Ministry of Health Guidelines.

Dr. Binder realized the whole prevailing Corona narrative was "unscientific nonsense." He wrote a blog explaining this just before Easter 2020. It was clicked 20,000 times. Then, on Easter Saturday at 10pm, he was brutally arrested by a Swiss anti-terrorist unit, having been denounced by two well-known acquaintances who felt threatened by his writings. Watch the video to see what happened after that.

This is world wide capture of medicine and doctors. I thought it was bad in the US, and had no idea how it is even worse in the Europe. I should have given their insane, suicidal response to the Ukraine special operation.

The FLCCC has been working on protocols for vaccine injuries and long COVID. In both cases it seems the body is over reacting to the spike proteins from both the virus and the ones the experimental gene therapies cause your own body to create...like a double dose. The strategy is to minimize these spikes within your body. Fasting is a first line defense followed by spike binding IVM and a low dose steroid to minimize over reacting to the viral proteins.

As practising physicians, the FLCCC doctors see more and more patients with side effects from vaccines and from prior COVID infection coming to them for help. These patients have been disparaged and sneered at by healthcare workers who refuse to acknowledge that their symptoms may have derived from vaccination. Too often they are sent home with little to no relief and told ‘there’s nothing we can do.’

Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik introduce the FLCCC's newest protocol, I-RECOVER: Post-Vaccine Treatment in this week's webinar. We are here to help.

They also conducted a Q&A session the following week along with Dr Peter McCullough

I would suggest adding a sauna to the protocol. As the doctors discuss in the Q&A above, the nature of the spike protein shedding mechanism(s) are only poorly understood, but it seems to me sweating them out makes good sense....like an Indian sweat lodge, which first nations peoples used for health and spiritual healing. Fasting encourages your body to break down and reuse the spike proteins.

I hope none of this community is suffering from vaccine injury nor long COVID, but if you are, the new protocol would be worth a try.

Gold Is the 'Anti-Dollar,' U.S. May Be Dethroned as Global Superpower Warns Willem Middelkoop (22 min)

The world is enduring a "mega-crisis," between food, energy, and geopolitical crises, says Willem Middelkoop, CDF founder and author. He refers back to his call on a forthcoming, "super inflation crisis," which has now snowballed into catastrophe, he tells our Daniela Cambone at this year's Swiss Mining Institute conference. Central banks around the world have no choice right now but to, "create a recession, a soft landing," Middelkoop surmises. "Gold is the anti-dollar now," he states, and there will always be a war on gold from prominent financial institutions. Middelkoop concludes we have entered The Big Reset, "and it's time to get conservative and defensive," with your capital.

As bad as it all seems we have it so much better than those we incarcerate. I featured part one last week. Here's the conclusion.
Chris Hedges looks at the numerous hurdles faced by prisoners released into society, the toll of reentry on their families, the importance of educational programs in restoring self-esteem and setting goals, and the difficult process of parole. Hedges begins by speaking with Russ Owen, who spent 32 years in prison, on the day of his release from East Jersey State Prison. Owen, who graduated summa cum laude from Rutgers University and earned a doctorate in Pastoral Care in prison, began work recently as a community organizer with New Jersey Together. He says that although he is free, he struggles to cope with the deep loneliness that defined his life in prison.

Talk about manipulation and control...US prisons reign supreme.

Well that's going to wrap up this rambling and wide look at new tricks to create a society to serve the oligarchs. The globalist power grab may have been delayed by the Ukraine conflict....perhaps even derailed as new alliances emerge. I look forward to your thoughts and comments below!

I forgot to mention the congress critters who have invested and are profiting from the MIC.

Guess who is profiting from all of these weapon sales? Congress! In this segment, we expose the members of congress who are making millions from investments in big weapons companies.

It ought to be illegal for them to trade while in office, but no chance they would pass that sort of law.

He informs Judge Napolitano of the truth of the American support of the Ukrainian Nazis. Scott gets very impassioned at the end of this conversation because Americans have no clue as to where the tens of billions and massive amount of arms are going once they have been sent to the corrupt leaders in Ukraine.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

@Lookout @Lookout Once more I want to weigh in on Lookout's outstanding coverage of Russia with a few tid-bits that some may find illuminating.

Russian Telegram had a clip few weeks back of a sizable contingent of young Russian soldiers gathered on a tarmac getting their final instructions as they boarded a plane. The translation said that they were newly trained Chechens on their first deployment, headed to Transnistria. The instructions concluded with fervent Allahu Akhbahs. (I was struck by this. Americans fear Muslims so much.) The Chechen Forces, under the command of Ramzin Kadyrov fought in Mariupol, left for R and R and then reappeared in the Donbas and fought until that was secure. Then another R and R. I am guessing we will see them next on the road to Odessa. maybe in Nikolaiv.

Plus...

The standing army in Moldava is 5,000 soldiers and Moldava is the poorest country in Europe.

Gonzalo Lira gave a number of Russian Peacekeepers already in Transnistria. I'll need to watch again to get the exact number.

Odessa is only about 100 miles from the Transnistria border.

Put it together and what have you got? bibbity bobbity boo.

Gonzalo is the most reliable reporter I have found and imho what happens next will unfold just as he predicts.

No lives lost if loss can be prevented. Odessa will be in Russia's hands by the Winter of 2022-23.

including Stepan Bandara who the Nazis locked up because he was too violent even for them.

This is part 3 of the report.

https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/06/10/how-monsters-who-had-beaten-...

Starting around 1948, the CIA would begin to slowly break from Stepan Bandera (and, therefore, Stetsko), who they saw as a liability from both a political and operational standpoint. The CIA much preferred Mykola Lebed, the chief of the OUN’s SB death squads and a man described as a “well known sadist and Nazi collaborator” by the Army.

A person holding an object

Description automatically generated with medium confidence
Mykola Lebed [Source: encyclopediaofukraine.com]
Lebed, however, was willing to work with other Ukrainian nationalist groups and allowed all Ukrainians into his organization, while Bandera demanded absolute control of the ABN and an ethnically pure OUN. Bandera also had a cavalier attitude toward security, refusing to use secure communications with the reasoning that the inferior Asiatic Russians were not smart enough to catch him. The KGB would therefore intercept most of his phone calls and correspondences, to the increasing fury of the CIA.

The CIA’s repeated warnings, however, did not dissuade the British and Germans, who remained Bandera’s main patrons. The situation continued to get worse over the years, driving the CIA to issue a burn notice for Bandera in 1954. The CIA not only discontinued all support for Bandera, but also threatened to kill him if his patrons at allied MI6 did not follow suit.

“2. If CIA and the SS are unable to agree upon a formula for coordinated operations along the lines outlined above, the CIA position will be: a. Each side will continue its separate line of action with limited operational coordination at the Washington-London level. b. CIA will take independent action to neutralize the present leadership of the OUN/B.” [SS here refers to the British Security Service, the official name for MI6, not the Nazi SS.]

The British got the message and withdrew their support for Bandera. The same year, the ABN expelled Bandera, leaving him permanently marginalized. Five years later, the KGB assassinated Bandera in his home in Munich.

The CIA’s problem was with Bandera personally and so, with him gone, so too were any restrictions on Stetsko. Rather than feuding with Lebed for funding as before, the U.S. simply doled out twice the money. Stetsko was now in the driver’s seat, and from this moment on commanded the remnants of Bandera’s bandit army with almost limitless Western support.

A lot of good came from the Nuremberg trials, but it was very selective in who it put on trial. As we know some of the worst Nazis were brought here so they could continue their research and some went on to lead American organizations. I just found out recently that we also didn’t prosecute some of the people involved in Japan's unit 731. Who said that crime doesn’t pay?

America has never been that shining city on the hill. Most of what I learned in school was pure A grade propaganda. Land of the free my ass. It’s only when we try to move that we see the chains binding us. Forget who said that.

but we've been blinded by decades of "We won WWII" propaganda.
https://therealnews.com/d-day-how-the-us-supported-hitlers-rise-to-power

One of my Ph.D. students recently completed an excellent dissertation about the role of GM, IBM, and Ford in rebuilding the German economy in the 1930s, and helping directly, in the case of GM and Ford, with German rearmament. They were willing to do things to support the German military they were not willing to do to rearm in the United States during this period. And they stayed involved in ways that really defied U.S. law up until the war actually began. And then during the war their subsidiaries in Europe continued to produce, continued to make profits, which they were able to accrue after the war ended. In fact, GM and Ford were able to sue the U.S. government for millions of dollars for reparations for their plants that the U.S. bombed and destroyed in Europe during the war that were producing for the Nazis. So American business had a shameful record.

Add to that our denial of Russia's role defeating Germany. We are ignorant and arrogant.

@Lookout
Standard Oil not only supplied Germany with oil at the beginning of hostilities, their patents allowed the Germans to produce gasoline from coal. In addition, Standard Oil provided tetraethyl lead necessary for planes of the German air force (they also provided it for the Japanese war effort).

The World Wars were extremely beneficial to the US corporations and were directly responsible for the rise in global hegemonic power of the US military. The rise in the US dollar as global reserve currency has allowed the country to print trillions of literally worthless pieces of paper and trade them for goods and services from other nations around the world.

But those days are now numbered. It's only a matter of time.

23 Countries Now Abandoning US Dollar

A new world monetary system is being set up right now which will completely kill the US dollar, which is the world's reserve currency.

23 countries (60% of the world's GDP) are setting up swap lines which bypass the dollar and SWIFT, which is the dollar-based worldwide financial transaction system.
...

Also, China just announced that it will stop purchasing our debt (holding dollars in reserve). This will force The Federal Reserve to print even more dollars than the $85 billion it's currently printing.

World reserve currencies have always had a limited life span and ours is up.


...
The only thing that stands in the way of the world's final rejection of the dollar is the wavering trust that Saudi Arabia and OPEC have with the U.S. in assuring oil transactions remain denominated in dollars under the 1970's Petrodollar agreement. But as the world has seen recently, even the Saudi kingdom is hedging towards a new global system, and has publicly stated that their ties to the U.S. are open for re-negotiation.

What started in September of last year, when an agreement between China and Russia ended the dollar's stranglehold over oil and how it was purchased, the past 14 months have seen a momentous rush towards setting up the infrastructure to replace the dollar completely in global transactions. And with 23 countries, including those from the BRICs nations and the Eurozone, preparing for new swap lines outside of dollar hegemony, the fuse has been lit on the dollar's death rattle, and the when has changed into the now.

Patrick Lawrence: Will Biden Provoke War with China?

Robert Scheer:

So we’re at an incredibly dangerous moment. We’re talking about not just Russia being nuclear armed, China of course is, and has more of an ability to fight back. So why don’t you kind of give us where we are? We’re at a very dangerous moment that, as far as I can see, the headline is really US is the provocateur. That’s going to be hard for many liberal folks to accept. They think virtue is with Biden now. And it reminded me of Martin Luther King, at one point, he lost the New York Times. They attacked him editorially a year before he died at Riverside Church when Martin Luther King said, “I can’t talk about nonviolence in the ghetto or in the world when my own government is the major purveyor of violence in the world today.” And if we look at the arms industry and where we’re shipping arms, that’s the US government now, but you used the word provocateur. So why don’t we deal with that?

Americans don’t understand why there is so much gun violence, but I’ve always understood one reason for it and it’s because we stroke violence all over the globe, but then act like we’re the good guys in any conflict. Our government has been sanctioning we the people since before Reagan, but that’s when its war against us started in ernest. After Reagan and Bush passed the torch, Clinton gutted welfare as we knew it, offshored factories and jobs, let the banks take dangerous risks, and signed some heinous free trade agreements. Bush 2 was a disaster, but then Obama was actually worse than he was. Now Biden’s finishing the jobs he helped Reagan and all other president after him started. We’ve been stealing country’s money just because we could, but it was Biden’s stealing Afghanistan’s and Russia’s money that countries started looking for other currencies to use so they wouldn’t be so vulnerable. Goodbye dollar and I can’t believe that no one thought that would be possible.

Now people are bitching that China’s economy is going to surpass America’s. Well you know that saying: you reap what you sew. Government allowed companies to offshore everything and even gave them tax incentives to do it. Plus it has no problem with them buying back their stock instead of reinvesting profits in their businesses.

Again I’m reminded of what we did in 4th grade. We created a bank and few people got to run it. They did lots of corrupt things just because they could. Money and power goes to one’s head even when it’s fake. That has stuck with me ever since.

And yes congress shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks when they know which companies are getting contracts from them. But Pelosi thinks it’s fair for her to do that.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

As of April 30, 2020, it was clear to lots of internet voices that the lockdown strategy was both counter-productive as well as ineffective. They were haughtily and angrily dismissed as insane or worse and significant effort went into silencing this critique.

From another message board, 4-30-20:
.

Pandemic: an almost universal experience of infectious process. More figuratively, this idea could be about ideas or other non-health related constructs. But here we discuss health, maintenance or surrender.

Facts: SARS2 is not an indiscriminate killer. It kills those susceptible as well as a few random victims of opportunity. This is true of all infectious diseases. Think of a fisherman casting his line. His aim is to catch a fish. He/she goes to where fish are most likely to swim. Then casting the line and lures, a fish may be retrieved. In fact many fish may be retrieved. But the fisher does not seek to catch a particular fish, he seeks to catch a fish of a certain type. A bass fisherman seeks bass of course, but not any one bass.

SARS2 seeks out victims, if such an anthropomorphism may be allowed, but not particular victims. The typical victim escapes the "hook" (viral spike protein) with little more than a small cut on the mouth or not even that much. In other words, for most of those exposed to line and lure, the consequences are mild to none. The majority of victims are:

1. Older than 65
2. possessing at least one co-morbidity
3. recipients of high initial viral load (e.g., city dwellers on subway cars)

The majority of deaths in Italy had average age 83. Yes, adolescents died. People die in drive-by shootings. It's the same principle. This doesn't mean we should excuse drive-by shootings or not mourn the loss of the young. How many people fear being killed during a drive-by shooting? Not many, unless perhaps you live in blighted sections of Chicago for instance.

Throughout civilization, since the days of the Black Plague, and even prior, citizens avoided the obviously ill but they did not cower in their homes. Life went on. For some, life ceased due to pestilence, but even during the Plague Years, the majority of the population survived.

SARS2 has nowhere near the virulence of bubonic plague. One-fourth of the population is not dying from it. Perhaps 2% are dying of SARS2, but this figure will be modified downward as more testing confirms the truer number of those infected.

Principles of contagion have been, until now: quarantine the sick; allow the healthy to be free.

Free.

A little more than a year later, I checked the official statistics to see if this poster was right.

USA Deaths by Age
.

As of May 26, 2021, the death toll stood at 579,029 – overall percentage of US Population = 0.018%

By Age Range Percentage of US Population
.

0-17 years 300 negligible percentage

18-29 years 2,253 less than one one-thousandth of one percent

30 -39 years 6,513 two one thousandths of one percent

40-49 years 17,530 five one thousandths of one percent

.

Subtotal 26, 616 Less than one one hundredth of one percent

'
.

50-64 years 90,363 Less than three one hundredths of one percent

65-74 years 128,648 Four one hundredths of one percent

75-84 years 159,427 Five one hundredths of one percent

85+ 174,000 Less than six one hundredths of one percent

.

Subtotal 552,413 0.17%

95% of the reported fatalities were people over 50. 57% were over 75.

I wonder how many people over the age of 50 were deemed to be essential workers and had to go to work while millions of people in their 20s and 30s lost their jobs due to the non-essential nature of their work? We could have quarantined people over 50 while allowing the younger people to go on with their lives. Team Lockdown is always quick to accuse their opponents of murder over mistakes made by public officials of the wrong political persuasion. It would be fun to mirror that stupid gag but it really is stupid.

A sincere argument against my little fantasy of a different kind of lockdown would be -- "Yeah, but how could anybody know the virus would skew so far toward the aged?"

.

I understand that the omicron wave altered the age distribution, while the overall fatality percentage went down significantly. The eerie silence that we are hearing about Covid since Putin replaced it as the Boogie Man is best understood in light of that casual toss off from Doktor Gates. The whole dispute went down the Memory Hole.

This is an interesting look into what Europe and America is trying to do to Russia and why they are gutting imports of gas from them. They don’t give a crap about what it does to the citizens in any country as long as they can stick it to Russia.

Biden said that if Russians get fed up enough with Putin they will overthrow him. It’s more likely that people who are deliberately being screwed will rise up and overthrow their own governments. How they accomplish it I have no idea, but I can hope.

Russia is ramping up oil exports from its major eastern port of Kozmino by about a fifth, aiming to meet surging demand from Asian buyers and offset the impact of European Union sanctions, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Hey LO! Great post as always. Thanks for the weekly reader.

Hope all is well is 'bama! How's the Wood Thrushes and Summer Tanagers? We have a pair of Summer Tans that are nesting in the front yard Pecans somewhere. They hit the bird bath daily. As does everything in this heat. We are running near 10F over what average normal used to be in central Texas. Trees are dying, D4 exceptional drought stage.

Water by the way folks really helps birds. In this heat if you can provide it in any way, it makes a big difference. A sprinkler can be a great show. If you do it an hour at the same time and place each day, the birds will be there waiting for it in no time. They make a mister folks put up in a tree on a timer that works great too.

How lucky we are to live in the shitshow phase of the collapse of the American Dream and Empire. If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all...

@Lookout Pileated Woodpecker is an awesome bird. GREAT you have them around! They are big on carpenter ants, so dead trees and fallen logs are favorites. In some places they are pretty tame, as in lots of the east. But in others, as in CA, they are shy and ginchy beyond belief. Nest hole is rectangular, about 4 x 6", taller than wide.

Sonoma County Health Services staff, ordered back to workplace, say they’re being exposed to COVID

... The county is the largest employer here, with about 4,200 workers, and the Health Services Department is one of its largest agencies, at 582 employees.
...
Representatives of Service Employees International Union Local 1021, which represents about half of the county’s workers, met with Health Services Director Tina Rivera on Wednesday afternoon to address the disagreement.
...
“As a woman of color, who has and continues to suffer racial discrimination and microaggressions in this county, this feels as if I am being attacked and singled out.”

WAT

As part of Rivera’s directive, employees were given the option of requesting full-time remote work. It simply became another bone of contention. A number of staffers did indeed request through managers to work from home. (Rivera said the number was “10+.”) Every request has been denied, she acknowledged.

OIC. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

“We cannot have programs without stable infrastructure and funding,” she said. “There are times when temporary measures are necessary to address issues of great concern. This is one of those times.

Yeah, no it isn't. Workers don't want to catch and spread the coronovirus, what is so hard (for the health department) to understand? Rivera is an acting relic of SoCo's "good old boy" past, in my view. Like Kamala is a relic of San Francisco's decrepit power structure. Both have terrible mentors and advisors by the looks of it, they are failures of humanity. I hope Rivera moves on to more fulfilling work soon. Harris should simply retire from public life, I think. Good luck to all.

One more tidbit:

Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani will not be permitted to attend a GOP primary debate with other candidates since he refused to show proof of vaccination.

At a press conference on Sunday, Andrew, the son of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, promised to fight back against New York vaccination mandates if elected.

Andrew said, if elected, he would “throw all of these mandates into the dustbin of history.” The gubernatorial candidate also promised he would help city and state workers who were fired over the vaccine mandate, “get their job back with back pay.”

By Paul Aubert at National File

Giuliani will be able to participate remotely - barred from physical participation due to a CBS rule banning the un-vaxed from their studio.

Is it the GOP who is insisting on it or the city? Since the jabs don’t protect from infection it makes no sense to mandate. Especially since thi higher the number of jabs gotten the more people are not only being infected, but getting sick enough to be hospitalized. Good gravy when will sanity return?

Slip Sliding Away by Paul Simon cover by Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren
Recorded live in White Sands National Park, New Mexico.
In case you missed our last video, our van broke down for 10 days in Roswell, New Mexico, and we wrote a song about the famous 1947 UFO incident while we were stuck there (watch here: https://youtu.be/iw6ZZG3NVMs). But we did finally get ol' Van Morrison fixed up, so we stopped by White Sands National Park before leaving New Mexico to shoot this cover of Paul Simon's classic, "Slip Sliding Away." It's an eerie and beautiful place, and if you haven't been, you should put it on your must-see list. Though I wouldn't recommend hiking the sandy dunes with guitars and recording equipment -- there was much slip sliding away during the loading in and out. Smile

Biden ordered another 500,000 doses of Monkeypox vaccine bringing the total to 2 million does. It’s not like this virus kills people and so far it’s being spread mostly by gay sex. With the mRNA ruining people’s immune systems if they start giving people who have been jabbed a shot it’s going to wreak havoc.

And boy does this look fishy!

With the previous order from BARDA for 1.4 million doses of liquid-frozen JYNNEOS, awarded in 2020, this order will bring the total U.S. inventory of the vaccine to nearly 2 million doses,” the company announced on Friday. Many of the 1.9 million doses are being held by the company until the U.S. government requests them.

So someone was clairvoyant 2 years ago and just knew that there would be an outbreak of monkeypox and ordered lots of vaccines for when it hit? I was born at night, but not last night. Are we actually seeing an outbreak of monkeypox or is there something else going on with people who have been jabbed? Will we ever get to see the truth? Color me suspicious.

“The majority of this bulk, however, will be converted to approximately 13 million freeze-dried doses of JYNNEOS during 2023-2025,”

Walensky and Fauci didn’t take heed of the doctors that said doing mass vaccination during a hot epidemic would cause problems and we’re seeing the results of this, so will they go ahead and tell people to line up and get jabbed for a disease that is way less deadly than Covid? Will the fear porn get cranked up again over this? Stay tuned.

@on the cusp

The pentagon knew in April of last year that soldiers were getting myocarditis, but did nothing about it.

few weeks later, however, the panel acknowledged that there were higher than expected rates of post-vaccination heart inflammation, detailing the numbers in a report dated May 24, 2021.

Shimabukuro presented data on the higher-than-expected rates during public meetings the following month. He revealed that myocarditis and pericarditis were being reported at much higher rates than expected in males aged 12 to 29, but claimed it was too soon to indicate a link between the issues and the vaccines. He and others soon said data points “suggest an association with immunization,” and VaST said the data suggested a “likely association.”

Around the same time, the FDA added warnings about heart inflammation to fact sheets that are distributed to vaccine recipients, caregivers of recipients, and medical professionals who administer the shots, and military doctors reported more cases than expected among troops who received one of the vaccines.

Approximately 341 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis following vaccination had been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a passive system managed by the CDC and the FDA, by the end of April 2021.

As of June 8, over 5,000 cases have been reported.

This was never explained either.

The pause on Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine over blood clots was eventually lifted, but the FDA in May restricted its use.

They paused it and then let people get it for a year and then they paused it again for the same reason. I just want someone to be held accountable, but since Fauci got away with the AIDS debacle 40 years ago I doubt that we will ever see Justice.

They added that Mayorkas and his team sought a partnership with social media outlet Twitter designed to censor content unapproved by the DGB and planned a meeting with Twitter executives to discuss such a joint effort.

In addition, the papers show the DGB charter that was officially drafted in January 2022 was personally signed by Mayorkas on Feb. 24, 2022, with the stipulation in the document that the secretary’s approval marked the immediate effect of the charter.

Mayorkas lied to congress under oath. Let’s see what the republicans are going to do about that. My guess is nothing will happen to him and the censorship will continue. Rumor has it that Chertoff is going to be the head of the agency. Michael Chertoff…you all remember who he is don’t you from the Bush administration.
